Billups makes impact with Knicks

During last night’s third quarter, Chauncey Billups dribbled behind his back, then slipped the ball through Carlos Delfino’s legs before banking in a layup and getting fouled. Then Billups pumped his fist.

It was one of Billups’ finest moments during his debut in the Knicks’ 114-108 win over the Bucks. The fist pump was particularly noteworthy, because Billups had told the Denver Post that leaving his family in Denver wasn’t easy for him, but on that post-drive celebration, he flashed his Garden exuberance.

“I’m not disappointed at all about being a Knick,” Billups said. “Actually I’m excited.”

Billups’ shooting (4-for-12) was erratic in his debut. But he helped seal the victory with four free throws in the last half-minute, heard the fans chant “Chaun-cey Bill-ups” while he was at the line in the final seconds and finished with an impressive 21 points, eight assists, six rebounds and two steals in his 33 minutes.

“It was a really good day,” Billups said. “I’m excited about everything, of course.”

Before the game, Billups, hailed as “a proven winner and a champion” by Knicks owner James Dolan, said he believed that because he’s the point guard his “job is probably the hardest because I have to learn the tendencies of 14 new players.”

He amended it to a lower number, explaining he already knows the tendencies of Carmelo Anthony, Sheldon Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman, his former teammates who joined him in New York.

Nevertheless, that leaves 10 new players the 34-year-old Billups needs to become familiar with, including starters Amar’e Stoudemire, Landry Fields and Ronny Turiaf.

During the second quarter, Billups’ no-look pass to Anthony sailed out of bounds, a testament to the learning curve he will have. He also ran the offense at a slower pace than Felton did, though it’s possible more speed will come with greater offensive familiarity. Billups also drew oohs with a behind-the-back pass to Fields and hit Stoudemire with a no-look feed for a layup.

“I really don’t know that much about the offense yet,” Billups said. “But [coach Mike D’Antoni] was just like, ‘Just kind of do what you do.’ I’m good when I can do that.”

Billups, who was born in Denver, played at the University of Colorado and had two stints with the Nuggets, previously had told the Denver Post that the trade is tough for him because he had to leave his family. He also said it “was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.”

“My feelings about Denver and that whole situation was more a principle than anything,” Billups said last night. “It wasn’t just about being a Nugget or just being at home. My family’s there.

“It’s not easy to get that call, that trade call, and you’ve got to go home and face your three kids and tell them daddy’s leaving,” he said. “It was more about all of that than anything. As far as [being with] the Knicks, I’m excited to be a Knick.”

WATCH LIVE: NY pummeled after Sandy batters region

Sandy bore down on the Eastern Seaboard’s largest cities Monday, forcing the shutdown of mass transit, schools and financial markets, sending coastal residents fleeing, and threatening a dangerous mix of high winds, soaking rain and a surging wall of water up to 11 feet tall.

Sandy strengthened before dawn Monday and collided with two other storms, before slamming into the East Coast.

Italy court upholds 4-year jail sentence for Berlusconi

Italy’s top court upheld a jail sentence against Silvio Berlusconi for tax fraud on Thursday in a ruling which could throw the country’s fragile coalition government into crisis.

The Court of Cassation confirmed a four-year jail sentence – commuted to one year under an amnesty – imposed by a lower court. But it ordered a further judicial review of a ban on holding public office imposed for the same offence.

The long awaited ruling is likely place the fragile left-right coalition led by Prime Minister Enrico Letta under severe strain although Berlusconi has pledged that his centre-right party will maintain its support for the government.

Puerto Rican Christmas Food: Pasteles

Christmas in Puerto Rico: Plantains!

I'm not sure if the bananas in this truck are plantains but they look about the right size. Plantains are called platanos in Spanish but when I lived in San Diego, California, I often saw them on the shelves at the now defunct Alpha Beta grocery store under the name of "macho bananas". ( I wonder what that referred too?)

During the holiday season in Puerto Rico, which starts just before Thanksgiving Day, these large green bananas are in high demand principally because the favorite holiday dish features a mashed banana paste (masa). I usually order mine from Dona Christina because she makes them without meat upon request. If I ever motivate myself enough, I will adapt a version of the following recipe(please follow the link for exact directions).

Puerto Rican savory cakes in banana leaves:
"Pasteles are Puerto Rican special occasion food. The whole family usually gets together assembly-line-style to make large numbers of these starchy parcels and get them ready for the boiling pot. No Boricuan Christmas is complete without pasteles."
If you prefer, you can watch this YouTube video on how to make pasteles. It shows an adapted recipe that is made by a Puerto Rican woman in the United States.
Feliz Navidad to all!

San Diego & National City Docks Quiet As Local Port Workers Join Antiwar Protest

by on May 1, 2008 · 1 comment

in Civil Rights, Labor, Organizing, Peace Movement, War and Peace

By Ronald W. Powell / UNION-TRIBUNE / May 1, 2008

Port workers at cargo terminals in San Diego and National City joined their counterparts at other West Coast port facilities in a May Day work stoppage to protest the Iraq War. The 40 scheduled for the 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. shift today did not show up, said Ron Popham, the maritime director at the San Diego Unified Port District, which operates the two cargo facilities.

National City’s 24th Street Marine Terminal was quiet Thursday as longshore workers that handle cargo stayed away from work in a one-day protest against the war in Iraq.
But William Silva, president of Local 29 of the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, said the number was 500, counting casual, part-time, fill-in and other union laborers. Silva said 25,000 dock workers from San Diego to Alaska were participating in the work action.

“Today we are standing for the majority of Americans who are against the Iraq War,” Silva said in an interview. “We’re Democrats, Republicans and independents, and we’re sending a signal to our politicians that it’s time to get out of Iraq now.”

Silva said the union supports the troops and wants to bring them home safely.

The work stoppage was called by the heads of the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, and it was not the first such protest. Last year, the union called for workers to take off to protest U.S. immigration policy.

In local cargo ports, the impact was not severe.

Popham said lumber was not unloaded from a barge and new cars were not being trucked off from National City’s 24th Street terminal.

At the 10th Avenue Marine Terminal in downtown San Diego, about 80 to 100 trucks that would normally transport fruit from the facility to stores around the region were idled, said port spokesman John Gilmore.
There were no disruptions at the port’s cruise ship facility on San Diego’s North Embarcadero because no cruise ships were docked there, Popham said.

The work stoppage had a larger impact on ports in Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle, which are the primary gateways for container shipments from the Far East and other foreign ports. San Diego is a niche port that handles few goods shipped by container.

Workers from Local 29 did not picket or hold protests this morning, but were gathered in a meeting of union members.

Popham said he expected workers to return to their jobs for Thursday’s second shift, which stretches from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Silva said workers would resume their duties at 6 p.m.

A spokesman for the National Retail Federation said shippers and exporters anticipated the work stoppage and did not expect a major longterm disruption in cargo traffic.

The Associated Press contributed to this story.

The San Diego Union-Tribune carried its article today (May 2) not on the main front page – where it should have been displayed — but on the front page of the Business section, “West Coast ports shut down as workers protest Iraq war”. It reported in the first paragraph how Dole Fresh Fruit Co suffered a loss of $316,000 because of the work stoppage. That’s a bunch of bananas! Plus at the end the article strongly hinted that the work stoppage was not about a protest against the Iraq war but actually an opening salvo in contract negotiations with the employers. So much for the fish wrap.

L.L. Cool J. Helps Raise Temps at Y3. Plus: Steamy Rodarte!

091107 llcoolj L.L. Cool J. Helps Raise Temps at Y3. Plus: Steamy Rodarte!Socialites, artsy celebrities—Vincent Gallo, Michel Gondry, photographer duo Inez and Vinoodh—and half the employees of Conde Nast turned out for the Rodarte show in Chelsea on Saturday. (Paris Vogue editor Carine Roitfield was smoky-eyed as ever at three in the afternoon). The white loft lacked ventilation, and everyone in the room was fanning themselves with free Lexus brochures. The dresses were pastel and diaphanous, the eyeliner severe, and the shoes—oh, the shoes!

Mostly black or royal blue, treacherously high, covered with pointy spikes: It looked as though fighting dog collars had been wrapped around the models’ feet. Designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy received the loudest round of applause we’ve yet heard, and afterwards, bottlenecked at the top of a lone staircase, sweating profusely, mysteriously patient fashion editors chatted excitedly amongst themselves, heaping praise on the collection.

Meanwhile, a young blonde model squeezed through the throng. “There was no breathe,” she said meekly. “We were like…” (she panted and fanned herself with her hand, demonstrating what her English would not allow).

Much of the crowd then meandered a few doors down to Y-3, which was even more celeb-filled (LL Cool J, Samuel L. Jackson, Veronica Webb, Mena Suvari, two MisShapes) but also badly in need of a breeze. The show was staged outdoors, under the High Line, and the crowd was treated to a fake thunderstorm—complete with rain running down the brick walls behind industrial-chic bleachers—which did nothing to lower the temperature.
The Transom barely noticed the clothes, as we were too busy trying not to sweat—so we asked LL Cool J about them later on an opening at Mark Seliger’s 401 Projects in the West Village. “I thought the footwear was exceptional,” said Mr. Cool J. “There was one girl that had, like, some overalls with suspenders hanging down, with a bikini tank-top, and, like, a jacket and a bag—that outfit was great. There were a few outfits that were memorable. The clothing was O.K., for me, but I liked the footwear.”

We asked him to name the best song he’s ever recorded.

“Doin’ it,” he said. “Yeah, that’s my favorite. Doin’ it well.” And then he laughed.

Facebook Banned Me! Worst. Week. Ever.

Last week was my worst week ever. Okay, maybe not ever, but definitely my worst week in 2008.

The trouble started on a Tuesday night. Shortly before I entered a bar to meet a friend for drinks, I updated my Facebook status on my BlackBerry, with an opinion about the upcoming Clinton-Obama debate.

As soon as my friend and I parted ways, I immediately whipped out my BlackBerry to check Facebook again. (Yes, I’m one of those people.)

My BlackBerry informed me that my account had been “disabled.” Disabled? I had never heard of such a thing. Perhaps it was a problem with my BlackBerry? I rushed home in a panic.

Alas, when I tried to log in on my computer, I was denied once again. This time I received a slightly more detailed message: “Your account has been disabled by an administrator.” I was referred to an FAQ informing me that accounts can be disabled for violations of Facebook’s Terms and Conditions, which prohibit such things as spamming or harassing other users.

I shot off a message to Facebook: “I do not believe I did anything in violation of Facebook’s terms of use. I am a loyal user with over 1,200 friends. I spend literally hours each day on the site. How can I appeal the disabling of my account?”

Then, I waited. And waited. To devotees of Facebook like myself—the type of people who use “Facebook” as a verb—life without the popular social networking site is unimaginable. If it’s not on Facebook, it didn’t happen.

With each passing day, I sank deeper and deeper into my Facebook-deprivation-induced depression. What to do? First, overeat! I inhaled massive quantities of saag paneer and gained about five pounds. I slept constantly, racking up a disturbing total of 16 hours of sleep on Saturday. It was only when I was asleep that my troubles vanished. I still had access to Facebook—in my dreams.

I COULD NOT figure out what I had done to deserve banishment. At the very least, my expulsion violated my due process rights. I was not given any advance warning before my account was suspended, I did not know the nature of the allegations made against me and I was never given the chance to confront my accusers. Okay, so the Bill of Rights has not been held applicable to Facebook, yet. But I still felt I was the victim of fundamental unfairness.

Also, being kicked off Facebook has all sorts of unfortunate consequences. Most were personal: Friends thought I had de-friended them. One wrote, “Was it something I said?” But the site is also essential to my job as a legal blogger. Readers of my blog, Above The Law, regularly submit tips to me via Facebook, which is often safer than e-mailing, since e-mail can be tracked. When I need sources for a story, I can post a note on Facebook and have a dozen sources within a matter of hours.

Losing Facebook was a significant professional blow, especially since I had spent so much time building up a network of contacts there. I even stopped updating my Microsoft Outlook contacts, since I figured Facebook would always be there for me.

I imagine walking up to the 1337 in some park in NYC as they are all smiling and laughing amongst each other. Together, without me. As I begin to approach them, several of them notice my presence and turn their heads in my direction. One by one, the smiles vanish from their faces. Soon, all of them are glaring at me curiously and cautiously.

"Bighead?" one of them asks.

"Uh yeah...that's me" I say with an awkward smile.

The next thing I know, their suspicious stares turn into ferocious, violent faces. It's as if I'm looking into the wide, piercing eyes of a tiger the very moment before he pounces on his helpless prey, eager to tear into it's flesh, completely devoid of any sympathy for his prey and the pain it will endure.

As I instinctively try to turn and run, I am struck hard with a book that one of them had been carrying (naturally). I catch a glimpse of it as it bounces of my noggin and onto the ground. It looks like a smart person book that I wouldn't fucking understand. Despite the sharp pain, I begin to sprint away, hearing their footsteps and angry yells as they begin to hunt me.

"Bighead is just a character. It's just role-playing!" I yell as I run, hoping to gain their sympathy.

The next thing I know I am tripped up. I land hard on my shoulder, followed by my head. I feel a few kicks and punches, and then I black out.

I wake up tied to a chair. There are black people in the room, holding transcripts of all the things I've said about them on these forums. I am tortured and asked to reveal my password for this account. After a few hours, I finally acquiesce, and tell them my password.

The black people change it, and I never am able to post on these forums again.

11-16-2011, 10:20 PM

Hughes Granite Company Created Ohio's Enduring Civil War Memorials

The name Hughes Granite is long gone from Clyde, Ohio, but the exceptional markers, monuments, and memorials the company created remain a physical presence throughout the eastern half of the United States. Carmi Sanford founded the company in the 1880s. After Sanford’s death in 1893, his brother-in-law William E. Hughes oversaw operations. Under his management, the firm flourished becoming one of the best-known granite companies in the United States.

The secret to Hughes’ success was quality. He purchased stone directly from quarries in Scotland, New York, and Vermont. The company employed as many as 55 master stonecutters, sculptors, and engineers. Its most skilled sculptor was James B. King who, like several other Hughes employees, came from Scotland to work for Hughes.

Located on East Buckeye Street in Clyde, the Hughes Granite cutting room featured the most modern tools for cutting, polishing, and carving. The end product was a beautifully executed, high quality, durable marker.

An astute businessman, Hughes also perfected the use of ventilation in designing mausoleums and crypts. His American Mausoleum Company constructed more than 100 mausoleums nationwide, including the Inglewood Park Mausoleum in Inglewood California.
Perhaps the company’s greatest success came when the state of Ohio selected its designs to memorialize its Civil War dead. Competing against 11 other firms, Hughes won the contract to create 34 monuments for Ohio’s fallen at Shiloh battlefield near Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee. Employees described their efforts as a “labor of love and duty.” In addition to creating the monuments, the company agreed to deliver them to the site. The monuments were transported to Tennessee by rail and barge. Each 16-ton monument was raised from the river up the 100-foot bluff to the battlefield.

In the spring of 1902, during a ceremony at Shiloh, the state dedicated the monuments to its native sons. One Ohioan accurately predicted “the beautiful memorials… will stand and be admired by future generations when the memory of those who created them has been forever buried in oblivion.” And so it is.

Hughes Granite and Marble Company may be lost to time, but its inspired work lives on as part of the sacred landscape of Andersonville and the Civil War battlefields of Shiloh, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Antietam, and Chickamauga.

ORU Sighting at a Library

KristaKrista D. Ball is a Canadian speculative fiction author who is currently hiding from necromancers. Better safe than undead.

Krista has discovered time travel, as she is convinced it was February when she went to bed last night. 2012 has been busy already, with her Newfoundland fantasy series (Spirits Rising) launching, as well as her epic fantasy series, Tranquility's Blaze.

However, it's the later half of 2012 that will see Krista curled in the fetal position mumbling, "Precious." She has several speaking engagements, including a workshop at When Words Collide. The second story in her Newfoundland series launches in October (Dark Whispers), as well as the second book in her Tranquility series (Tranquility's Grief) in November.

And, because that isn't enough stress, her highly anticipated writer's guide, What K>ings Ate and Wizards Drank: A Fantasy Lover's Guide to Food, will expose the world to rabbit stew and pig bladders on jam jars in November.

Steve Harvey Breaks Down In Tears After Being Reunited With Family Who Helped Him As A Struggling Comedian

It’s not very often that you see a grown man cry on television – especially not a man more known for making people laugh.

But Family Feud host Steve Harvey broke down into floods of tears during a recent episode of his daytime talk show when he was reunited with a couple that helped him out when he was a struggling down-on-his-luck comedian.

OK! News: The Big Bang Theory Cast Pulls a Friends—Halts Production Over Salary Conflicts

It was all done as a surprise for Steve’s 56th birthday and the motor-mouthed star was for once lost for words as he tried hard to compose himself when faced with his past.

“I was 26-years-old and struggling, I didn’t have nothing,” Steve sobbed in the video that now has over a million hits on YouTube and which you can watch below. “And these people own a furniture store in Cleveland. They took me in and give me my first contract with my little carpet cleaning company.”

Steve then explained the other kind-hearted things that the couple did for him to help him on his feet.

OK! News: 22 Things We’re Dying To Learn on the Real Housewives of New York Reunion

The radio DJ/talk show host/author/producer/actor is now said to have a net worth of $85 million and made the couple a very generous offer to say thank you!

Check out the video and we dare you not to at least get choked up – it’s very emotional!

What do you think of the video and Steve’s reaction? Let us know below or tweet us @OKMagazine!

Introducing: Scott Gordon (New Head Coach)

Our friend Greg Logan is in the business of hearing things first, and yet again he does not disappoint: Scott Gordon has been hired as the new head coach of the New York Islanders.

GM Garth Snow took roughly one month to find his hire and interviewed a host of candidates, as you all know. Finally, the decision has been made.

Islanders fans are always hard to please, but it is our belief that most of you out there in fan-land will be happy with this decision. With previous experience in the Bruins system at the AHL level, Gordon will now cut his teeth as an NHL coach with the young Islanders. In fact, just yesterday ESPN.com's E.J. Hradek opined that Gordon should be the Isles' man. Well, now he is.

The Islanders will formally introduce Gordon at a Wednesday press conference.

Meet Some New Isles

A quick note for the hardcore fans among us...

The always enthusiastic Corey Witt e-mailed me today with a brief promotional note. On Saturday, August 9th (10 AM-noon) the Islanders will be hosting an "open house" meet and greet featuring two new roster additions, Josh Bailey and Doug Weight (well, one's a certain roster addition).

Bailey is 18 years old and was this year's first round selection, while the ageless Weight (actually he's 37) was signed to impart his owl-like wisdom upon the suddenly youthful Islander squad. Despite the age disparity, the promotional flyer made no mention of whether Weight will be dispensing some fatherly-like advice to Bailey. You'll all just have to show up and find out for yourselves.

Read all about the upcoming event here, courtesy of the Isles' homepage.

Website Load Time

Website load time is an important factor, because Google is taking the site’s loading speed into consideration in determining its ranking. Even though this will not have a big impact, it is still something we (webmasters) should really look into. The reason is pretty simple – the majority of visitors are usually in a rush and no one is fond of waiting half a century before the website finally loads its content or fails to load. At the last check on 2016-07-31, website load time was 0.38. The highest load time is 1.00, the lowest load time is 0.29, the average load time is 0.55.

Feature Photo: Kaillie Humphries and Melissa Lotholz compete during the women’s Bobsleigh World Cup competition in St. Moritz, Switzerland, on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016.

Kaillie Humphries and Melissa Lotholz won bronze and claimed their seventh BMW IBSF World Cup medal in as many races, on Saturday morning in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

The Canadian duo has enjoyed a tremendous 2015-16 World Cup season, from their record setting opener in Germany to home track victory in Whistler. The pair has climbed the podium in every stop on the circuit, winning four gold, one silver and two bronze medals, including their most recent third place finish in Switzerland.

Despite missing training runs earlier in the week due to warm weather conditions, all three medallists broke the track record in Saturday’s competition. Humphries’ sled briefly led after registering a combined time of 2 minutes and 17.29 seconds. However, in the end it was Americans Elana Taylor Meyer and Lauren Gibbs, who won gold in 2:16.53. The silver went to Germans Anja Schneiderheinze and Annika Drazek whose start time of 5.45s – the fastest in the competition – pushed them to a combined time of 2:16.91.

RELATED: Humphries and Lotholz win in Park City

Humphries currently leads the World Cup standing in women’s bobsleigh with 1510 points, ahead of American Jamie Greubel Poser, who missed the podium in St. Mortiz. The Canadians will look to finish the World Cup circuit on top in Konigssee, Germany on February 26.

Gov. Deal to skip televised debate

ATLANTA | Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal won’t participate in the only primary gubernatorial debate to be broadcast statewide on public television, organizers announced Wednesday.

One of his challengers blasted him for missing other debates as well.

The Atlanta Press Club, which hosts debates telecast on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s statewide network, said the governor’s campaign responded to the debate invitation for May 14 in the network’s Atlanta studios that he won’t make it. The club issued the invitation far in advance to try to accommodate all of the candidates in its series, which will include those from both parties running in contested primaries for the U.S. Senate, Congress and the Public Service Commission.

A brief email from Deal’s campaign released by the club gave the reason for his absence:

“Unfortunately, Gov. Deal will be unable to attend as he has long-standing prior commitments that day,” noted Jen Talaber, Deal for Governor communications director. “My apologies, and please let me know if you need anything else.”

The club invites all qualified candidates when it holds a debate and has a lectern for each on the set. If a candidate doesn’t attend, the moderator explains and the lectern remains empty.

Debate Committee Chairwoman Maria Saporta said she hoped Deal’s schedule could be shifted around so that he can participate.

Deal is facing two primary challengers in his quest for re-election, former Dalton Mayor David Pennington and Superintendent of Schools John Barge.

Pennington held a noon press conference outside Deal’s Capitol office where he accused the governor of ducking confrontations to avoid talking about ethics allegations.

“In the past months, Nathan Deal has dodged debates and Georgia Republicans’ calls to discuss the issues that matter most to them,” Pennington said.

Pennington’s campaign said Deal has also declined invitations for a debate hosted by WSB-TV and one jointly sponsored by FOX5-Atlanta, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution and the Cherokee Tribune.

The nominees were then divided into 60 areas of practice and reviewed. The top five percent of lawyers were selected from three categories of firm size.

Stout Post Fight Update

It Takes A Team

It felt great being back in the Octagon! I was prepared for anything. My victory was truly a team effort.

Training for my fight against Sam began in January 2006 when I got word that I would be fighting him at UFC 58 (U.S.A. versus Canada) on March 4th. As many of you know, I injured my back right before the fight and was forced to drop out. At the time, it was a huge disappointment as I had trained hard and I hated letting down people who wanted to see me fight.

I put a lot of pressure on myself as I didn’t want this fight to go to the judges. I only showed a glimpse of what I can do at this weight class. This win has made me a top contender in the UFC lightweight division. Accordingly, I look forward to continually testing myself against more of the best lightweight fighters in the world.

Anytime I fight, it is a team effort. Having amazing coaches like Mark DellaGrotte, who monitors my training with my brother Keith, gives me great confidence that I am ready for anything. They put in countless hours of sparring and coaching. Mark and Keith put their bodies at risk every time they help me train. My strength and conditioning coach Doug Dupont played a huge role in my win as well. He was invaluable in getting me in the best shape of my life for this fight and making my road to cutting to 155 lbs an easy one.

I would also like to thank all of my Boston training partners; Neil Legallo, Eric Armington, Peter Welch, Andres Jeudi, Stephan Bonnar, Drew Fickett, Nate Ryan, Sean Matthews, Matt Fletcher, Mike Littlefield, Steve Medina, Jimmy Delfano, Chris “Pags” and everyone from Sityodtong and Boston BJJ. Thanks to my friends in Vegas for helping me get ready for the fight during the month of June. Special thanks to Marc Laimon /Cobra Kai, Scott Bieri, Alex Karalexis, Apollo Sebastian and the rest of my buddies out in Vegas.

I also need to thank the people off the mat for their immense help and support. My business manager and friend Ron Weinberg who is a huge part of the “KenFloTeam” has helped me tremendously over the last year.

To my friends, family and fans, thank you so much for your support, love and positive energy. I am going to continue to train hard and proudly represent the great city of Boston!!

My sponsors are a big part of my team as well. They fund my training and provide me with the equipment to succeed. A big thank you to my main marketing partners and sponsors: Sprawl Fightshorts (, TUF Guy Productions, United Nissan (, Total Eclipse Motorsports (,, North American Grappling Association ( Sirius Athletic ( and Shoyoroll Clothing. ( Please check out my friends page at for a list of all of my sponsors.

Lastly, I have to acknowledge the UFC and SpikeTV for really bringing MMA to the mainstream and broadcasting this sport to millions of people. UFC/ZUFFA and Spike have made an incredible impact on the sport. They deserve so much credit for taking this sport to new heights.

Stay with the Flo,

Kenny “KenFlo” Florian

448 F2d 1189 United States v. J Abston

448 F.2d 1189

145 U.S.App.D.C. 266

George J. ABSTON, Appellant.

No. 24204.

United States Court of Appeals,
District of Columbia Circuit.

Argued June 11, 1971.
Decided July 28, 1971.

Mr. Mervyn I. Aronoff, Washington, D. C. (appointed by this court) for appellant.

Mr. John E. Rogers, Asst. U. S. Atty., with whom Messrs. Thomas A. Flannery, U. S. Atty., John A. Terry and Stephen W. Grafman, Asst. U. S. Attys., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before FAHY, Senior Circuit Judge, and McGOWAN and ROBINSON, Circuit Judges.

view counter

Appellant was convicted at trial by jury of two counts of uttering forged checks and two counts of transporting the same in interstate commerce, in violation of D.C.Code Sec. 22-1401 and 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2314, respectively.

With respect to the uttering counts he contends that the evidence was insufficient to enable the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that he had knowledge the checks in question were forged, an essential element of the crime. An examination of the Government's evidence, however, convinces us that it presented a jury issue in this regard. The jury was able to draw appropriate inferences from the objective facts. Accordingly, we think the motion for judgment of acquittal was properly denied.

As to the counts charging transportation of the checks in interstate commerce, the uttering of the checks occurred in the District of Columbia. They were drawn on a bank in Maryland and subsequently presented to that bank for cashing through normal channels. Under the reasoning of the Supreme Court in Pereira v. United States, 347 U.S. 1, 8-9, 74 S.Ct. 358, 98 L.Ed. 435 (1954), the uttering of the checks in the District of Columbia, followed by their rejection by the Maryland bank as forgeries, brings home to the utterer the interstate transportation which occurred.

Appellant was sentenced to concurrent terms of imprisonment of one to three years on each of the uttering counts, and five years on each of the interstate transportation counts. The latter sentence was specifically stated by the sentencing judge to be pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4208(a)(2). In so specifying the judge stated that appellant would be eligible "for parole under this sentence from any time after the first year." Section 4208(a)(2) provides that when the court fixes a maximum sentence, as was here done on the interstate transportation counts, the court "may specify that the prisoner may become eligible for parole at such time as the board of parole may determine." The concurrent sentences under the uttering counts, however, included a term of imprisonment of one to three years, with the result that the effectiveness of the parole provision of Section 4208(a)(2) would in all substance be suspended for the first year,1 as the sentencing judge indicated.

The parole officials no doubt will have in mind the efforts appellant made to make restitution, which perhaps influenced the sentencing judge in making Section 4208(a)(2) applicable

The Mazda not mine. My father paid it so that I get a reliable dd for school/work and to pay much much less on insurance. I only pay the maintenance, the license plate and the insurance. There, the truth is out, I'm a spoiled rich kid.Now back to the subject.

My father wants to trade in the Mazda 3 '10 and his Altima '08 to get a brand new luxury (or luxury looking) car for about 500$ per month, now that I got my reliable car. My mother wishes that the car isn't long like the Altima but has almost the same space inside as the Altima. It's gonna happen in the next 2 months since he's gonna retire. Keep in mind that the car needs to be automatic, and no crazy hoon machines. He want a car that would represent his a Volvo or maybe a Cadillac. He loves Nissans so far...and hates korean car with passion. The car needs to be reliable and fuel efficient. Any suggestions Oppo?

The Cidery in upstate NY

Though they only became an official winery a short time ago, the Cidery in Wurtsboro, New York is quickly becoming one of the up and coming places for the hard cider renaissance of the Northeast.

They are also one of a growing number of upstate New York wineries making apple and other fruit wines and hard cider, and thereby celebrating and encouraging orchard preservation and the cultivation of heirloom apples!

Hazardous Material Worker Health and Safety Training

The Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) houses several local, state, and federally grant funded projects for training and research for those individuals and industry involved in ports, oil rigs, and law enforcement jurisdiction.

Project SEAMIST started in 2010 when the Institute for Disaster and Emergency Preparedness (IDEP) at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine received funding to provide occupational safety and health training for workers in the maritime industry. The project was funded by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) of the National Institutes of Health for five years and received nearly $1.5 million in total funding. With the funding from NIEHS, IDEP brought together a number of partners to provide hazardous materials/hazardous waste health and safety training to individuals associated with the maritime industry. The result of these partnerships was Project SEAMIST (Southeast Area Maritime Industry Safety Training). Project SEAMIST provides hazardous materials worker health and safety training to individuals employed on ships or those working in the marine shipping industry, including oil rig and oil platform workers, port workers, and law enforcement serving maritime venues.

In 2015, ORI proposed to expand the existing  training under NIEHS’s Hazardous Material Worker Health and Safety Training (HMWHST) program. This proposal was awarded in July 2015 which secured funding for another five year period.  The increased funding includes a new initiative, the Hazardous Material Maritime Industry Response Training Safety Initiative (HazMIRTSI). HazMIRTSI will complement hazardous materials training currently provided by SEAMIST by providing critical curricular training focused on hazardous materials disaster response preparedness.

What We Do

The overarching goal of both projects is to reduce injuries and death by providing engaging and interactive safety training for individuals responding to maritime disasters and emergencies that pose health and safety risks.

Target student/trainee populations:

Geographic locations: Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
