Saucedo vs Zappavigna: Fight Of The Year?
July 2, 2018 July 4, 2018 Sean Crose
First things first: even as it goes through a current resurgence in popularity, boxing still doesn't often find itself atop Twitter's trending list very often. But that's where it was on Saturday night. At one point, #Saucedo-Zappavigna was in fact the second most trending hashtag in the United States. That's what happens when terrific fights appear on basic cable. People channel surf, stumble across a remarkable, action-packed battle, and then can't stop watching. They even go on social media and start telling people about it.
Needless to say, this sort of thing is nothing but good for the sport, something to remember in our time of streaming and social media. Even so, it requires nothing less than an absolute scorcher of a bout for an undercard match to catch on. And as we saw, Saucedo vs Zappavigna was most certainly that.
Saucedo (right) appeared in control early.
Ironically enough, the bout wasn't expected to be all that great. After all, the main event of the ESPN-Top Rank Oklahoma card on Saturday was supposed to be Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez vs Roamer Alexis Angulo. And while on paper Ramirez vs Angulo (which Ramirez won via decision) was the more compelling match-up, it was the junior welterweights, Alex Saucedo and Lenny Zappavigna, who stole the show. Not only was Saucedo vs Zappavigna entertaining, it was searing; brutal, in fact. The match was literally a blood bath, but it showcased what makes boxing so compelling: the chance to see courageous human beings go beyond what would otherwise ever be expected of them.
But, as I say, expectations for Saucedo vs Zappavigna were not high, in part because Australia's Zappavigna was said to be getting on in age. He was tough, yes, and we were told that this was his last chance to really make his mark, but he certainly wasn't seen as someone about to star in a slugfest worthy of Gatti vs Ward acclaim. Saucedo, on the other hand, was fighting in front of a hometown crowd in Oklahoma City, had an undefeated record, and was stepping into the ring with the venerable Able Sanchez at his side. In other words, Saucedo was expected to emerge the winner.
Zappavigna on the canvas in round three.
And win the man did, but in a way no one could have anticipated. Saucedo wasn't expected to have to grind out a tough victory in such a bloody and brutal manner but, to his credit, that's exactly what he did. Figuratively speaking, the boy became a man this past weekend. Let's hope that fight didn't take too much out of him; punishing slugfests sometimes do, after all.
Because Saucedo was certainly impressive in his own right and boxing fans are looking forward to what's next. Having emerged from a true trial by fire, Saucedo has gone from a fighter on the rise, to one people will be eager to watch. Surviving a ring war can have such an impact on a young fighter's career. If you're a boxer looking to increase your value and your clout, this is one time-tested, though risky, way to do it: win a thrilling, back-and-forth fight that sports fans will be talking about all week long.
Saucedo certainly had control of the match early on. He had his man cut, and in round three he dropped Zappavigna hard with a vicious counter right. But the Aussie not only beat the count, he withstood Saucedo's attempt to capitalize before going on a fistic tirade of his own, jolting the younger man with heavy right hands. But that was only the beginning. In the fourth, Zappavigna had Saucedo hurt – and I mean seriously hurt – so much so that for a moment it looked like the fight might be stopped. Now it was Saucedo's turn to dig deep and that he did, managing to hold on and even, by round's end, hold his own. And it was at this point that people on social media started bandying around the phrase "Fight Of The Year."
The contest became blistering. What's more, it was bloody. Exceedingly bloody. In truth, it was, at times, not pleasant to watch, such was the damage each was doing to the other, though of course one could not turn away. Here were two warriors giving all they had, giving and taking punishment, both unwilling to be denied but willing to go beyond the normal, the acceptable, the expected. And yet there was cause for concern, even for boxing's most bloodthirsty fans. For Zappavigna's face, particularly around his eyes, was turning into hamburger as we watched.
But still the man fought on, giving the battle all he could while his face became a gory mess. Saucedo had the match won, barring a miracle, but Zappavigna struggled on until finally his corner decided they had to save their man from his own courage, stopping matters in the seventh. It was a wise decision, and a responsible way to end what was clearly the best fight many viewers had seen in a very long time.
Afterwards, Zappavigna announced that he was retiring from the sport. May he enjoy his retirement. The man certainly earned it on Saturday night. He didn't emerge victorious, but no one would call him a failure after that incredibly brave performance. As for Saucedo, who took his share of heavy shots and ended up a bit bloodied himself, it looks like he'll be moving on to a match for the WBO title. "He's fighting Maurice Hooker," promoter Bob Arum declared. "He's the mandatory."
People will be talking about this battle for some time to come.
And if Saturday evening is any indication, it's a shot Saucedo has certainly earned. According to Arum, the battle with Hooker should go down later this year. And, as brave and skilled as he is, no doubt "El Cholo" hopes that fight will be a bit less searing than the one he just had. After all, one can only engage in so many grueling, punishing action battles before they start taking a toll and shortening one's career.
And let's face it, fellow boxing fans: we are getting spoiled rotten this year when it comes to such dramatic and exciting clashes. Saucedo vs Zappavigna becomes yet another serious candidate for 2018's Fight of the Year, joining an already crowded field of terrific fights. It's only July and we already have to take into consideration Usyk vs Briedis, Hurd vs Lara, Sor Rungvisai vs Estrada, Valdez vs Quigg, Wilder vs Ortiz, Gassiev vs Dorticos, Stevenson vs Jack and Linares vs Loma. And the best may be yet to come! We still have Canelo vs Golovkin II and Usyk vs Gassiev on the way, among others!
But I'm pretty confident that, no matter what transpires over the next six months, come December no one will be overlooking Saucedo vs Zappavigna. It may or may not be 2018's Fight Of The Year, but that was one truly unforgettable battle. — Sean Crose

Coinbase have announced that they have created a new process which promises to "rapidly list most digital assets that are compliant with local law". This will potentially mean Coinbase could be listing a number of other digital assets very soon, however, this will be done on a "jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction manner". Meaning that although new assets may be listed they may only be available to customers in select regions.
There is a 6 stage framework which a digital asset must satisfy before they will be listed on the Coinbase exchange. However this is very easy to follow and also has checkboxes so anyone who is interested in looking will be able to evaluate if their token does meet the specific criteria.
Initially there is no application fee, however, they have specified that dependant on the volume of submissions they "reserve the right to impose an application fee".
Coinbase have recently announced their plans to add custody support for "40 cryptocurrencies", including, XRP, NEO, Ontology and many other major cryptocurrencies. Coinbase is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange platforms in the world. They currently support Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin, with upcoming assort for Ethereum Classic. Well now Coinbase custody are planning support for 40 cryptocurrencies on top of this.
Coinbase announced on 24th August that they will be launching a new update.
This is still being tested so currently only a small number of users are able to see the top 50 cryptocurrencies on the mobile app. The update will see information regarding the top 50 assets become more readily available.


Pilotfish has integrated the Vehicle Gateway with suppliers of ignition interlock breathalyzers such as Dräger and Alcolock. Pilotfish detects when a user is blowing and what the result is. The information is transmitted to the back-office solution and is presented to the Traffic Operations Center. Depending on the level of integration Pilotfish can also detect when a vehicle is driving without the use of the Alcolock and SMS's are sent as alarms to selected personnel.

Stonewall's Lauren Little, in an undated photo holding her daughter Lindley, is currently battling the effects of Lyme disease. Her family has started a GoFundMe page to recoup the costs of her treatments. (Photo credit: GoFundMe)
Stonewall resident Mason Kurz describes his wife Lauren Little as someone who devotes herself to helping others and to raising their six-year-old daughter Lindley.
"She's always helped anybody she could. (She would) volunteer," Kurz told The Stonewall Argus and Teulon Times. "She's always been outgoing. It didn't matter (to whom) it was, family or friends."
But since the summer of 2018, Little has been through a battery of tests, numerous treatments and countless hospital stays trying to determine what was making her sick. Now, she is unable to work and mostly housebound while battling the effects of neurological Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium transmitted by black-legged ticks which brings with it a myriad of symptoms which can become more severe if left untreated. Kurz added that he and his wife don't know what tomorrow would bring.
"Every day, you wake up and you don't know," he said. "She could come out of bed and go downstairs to the couch and sit there for the day. Some days, she could go into the car and go for a bit of a ride."
Last year following a miscarriage, Little began to suffer from flu-like symptoms as well as weight gain, brain fog and insomnia, but believed it to be caused by stress and hormones. Over the next few months, she started having new symptoms such as migraines, heart palpitations, dizziness and new allergies. What followed were appointments with numerous health professionals not covered by insurance and providing little to no answers.
Kurz said that one doctor referred her to a psychologist and another told her that "things will get better on their own." One time while she was taken by ambulance as her body became swollen and red, paramedics thought it was a panic attack. Medical tests in Manitoba and at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota were either inconclusive or gave false positives for other diseases. It wasn't until her blood was tested at a lab in Germany that it was confirmed she had Lyme disease.
"It's been nothing but bashing your head against the wall trying to get an answer," Kurz added. "We've gone to every ER in this area: Selkirk, Stonewall, Grace (Hospital), HSC, St. Boniface … We've talked to Lyme Literate (and) infection specialist doctors in Manitoba and they've said there's nothing they can do to help. It's chronic, as they put it."
Kurz estimated that him and his wife have already spent more than $50,000 to get a diagnosis and the supplements she is taking is not covered by the province. Because of this, he and Little have started a GoFundMe page which has already raised more than $9,000 since Nov. 21. Kurz added that there are plans for a fundraising social in the new year.

Varjo Brings XR Cloud Streaming to its Enterprise Customers
Oculus VR's Nate Mitchell to Speak at Disrupt NY Next Week
byJamie Feltham
There are a lot of questions facing virtual reality (VR) specialist, Oculus VR, at the moment. Many of these are to do with the highly-anticipated and yet still unrevealed consumer version of the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD). With the HTC Vive HMD gearing up for a holiday 2015 launch and the consumer version of Oculus VR's other kit, Gear VR, likely to hit soon, many want to know when the device will finally be revealed. VP of product Nate Mitchell will likely face these questions and more next week as he attends the Disrupt NY event in New York, USA.
Disrupt NY is organised by Tech Crunch and takes place from 4th – 6th May 2015 at the Manhattan Center. Mitchell himself has a large role in Oculus VR as one of its co-founders and is often a public face for the company at events such as E3 and its own developer conference, Oculus Connect. He's also in charge of aspects such as the recently-announced Oculus Story Studio, a new film-focused division of the company currently working on titles such as Lost. Mitchell is well-positioned to talk about Oculus VR, then, and will hopefully provide more insight at the event.
Oculus VR's most recent iteration of the Oculus Rift is its Crescent Bay prototype, revealed at Oculus Connect in September 2014. The kit utilises two screens but also boasts full 360 degree positional tracking along with integrated audio. The company won't be releasing any further development kits and has since replaced the second such kit, DK2, with Crescent Bay kits at various events. Back at Oculus Connect it was noted that, while Crescent Bay is not the consumer version of the device, it's close to what consumers can expect.
Other speakers at Disrupt NY include Tinder's Sean Rad, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, and Vine's Jason Mante. Tickets to the event are still on sale. VRFocus will continue to follow Oculus VR closely, reporting back with any further updates on the company.

Village of Pleasant Prairie » Departments » Fire & Rescue » History
A house caught fire in the Midwest highlands area of the Town of Pleasant Prairie. Before the fire could be brought under control, three homes were destroyed and a fourth was damaged. This local tragedy served as the motivation to form the Pleasant Prairie Volunteer Fire Department.
The Town Board received a petition signed by 502 citizens that called for the formation of a Fire Department. On the same day, an order was placed with the Peter Pirsch & Sons Fire Engine Company, of Kenosha, for a pumper truck.
The first organizational meeting was held in the old Town Hall, then located at the northeast corner of Old Green Bay Road and 93rd Street. Town Chairman Allen K. Turner sought the assistance of the State Fire Marshall, Peter Pirsch, and other departments throughout the state. After several additional meetings and the delivery of the new 350-gallon per minute pumper truck, the Pleasant Prairie Fire Department became operational on August 22, 1935.
DEPARTMENT STAFF:
68 volunteers and one (1) full-time driver,
Delbert Lee McKee was the first full-time employee,
Mickle Mickelson assisted Mr. McKee,
Mrs. McKee was the phone attendant
FIRST CALLS
A single pumper equipped with 300 gallons of water, ladders, and hoses answered these first calls:
SEPTEMBER 25, 1935 was the first recorded call came in when a haystack on Cooper Road was found to be on fire;
NOVEMBER 12, 1935 was the first house fire, on Bentz Road, at 12:15 a.m.

RESCUE SQUAD FORMED
The citizens of Pleasant Prairie originally relied on the Kenosha Sheriff's Department for emergency medical care. When transportation was needed to a hospital a "Sheriff's" patrol car (station wagon) doubled as an ambulance. In the mid-1970s Federal standards mandated changes in the way emergency medical care was provided. Caregivers had to receive a minimum of 75 hours of training as Emergency Medical Technicians. Individuals would have to be transported in vehicles designed and equipped to provide the needed care. As a result of these changes, the Sheriff's station wagons were no longer adequate for the job and could no longer be used. Sixteen people were recruited from the fire department and throughout the community to serve as Pleasant Prairie Rescue Squad members. While the initial training was taking place, a used 1974 Chevrolet ambulance was purchased. Although the first recorded rescue call came on July 18, 1937, when a parachutist landed on the roof of a house on 22nd Avenue, it was not until May 5, 1978 that formal pre-hospital emergency care was provided by the fire department and rescue squad.
The State of Wisconsin embarked on a project to demonstrate that EMTs could defibrillate patients suffering from ventricular fibrillation. In effect, if rapid intervention did not occur, death would result before arriving at a hospital. Pleasant Prairie was one of a limited number of rescue squads, statewide, selected to participate in this project.
Positive results were quickly realized when on June 30, 1986 Joseph Kevek, 19 years old, 9101 88th Avenue, was electrocuted while working on the family farm. Firefighters and EMTs responded to the scene and found the victim in ventricular fibrillation, unconscious, and not breathing. Putting to immediate use their training, CPR and the "defibrillator", Kevek was successfully resuscitated and back to work within 10 days of the accident. A representative of Kenosha Memorial Hospital later said, "The crew strictly followed the medical protocols, performed well as under extreme emotional conditions, and the bottom line was that the patient is alive because of that crew!" Coincidentally, this became the first "defibrillator save" performed by EMTs within the State of Wisconsin.
Pleasant Prairie EMTs were trained to administer intravenous (IV) therapy "in the field". This service began on October 31, 1986 with the full-time staff and seven Paid-on-Call Members having achieved the proper level of training. Less than one month later, on Thanksgiving, a car heading north on 39th Avenue traveled across the southbound lane and struck a tree. The driver suffered compound fractures to both legs.
Upon arrival, firefighters and EMTs evaluated the patient and determined his condition to be very fragile. They contacted the emergency room physician on duty at Kenosha Memorial Hospital and were given orders to start two IVs to replenish the blood loss that the driver was experiencing. Later that night, the hospital reported that the patient was stable and would probably survive. This was because the fluids administered by the EMTs were able to keep his heart pumping long enough for him to reach the operating room.
The Fire Department and Rescue Squad wanted to push even further ahead and provide paramedic level service. The local Paramedic infrastructure went into place when the City of Kenosha Fire Department began Paramedic service. That eliminated a major obstacle for Pleasant Prairie because the State of Wisconsin required a minimum population base of 40,000 people before they would consider permitting a community to have Paramedic level of care. The state also required local medical direction, and that is when both Dr. Gary Zaid, an emergency physician at Kenosha Hospital and Medical Center, and Dr. Ronald Simonton, an emergency physician at St. Catherine's Hospital, said they would take responsibility for overseeing Pleasant Prairie's Paramedic operation. What seemed like a minor solution was actually a major commitment on both their parts; they would gamble their medical license on us.
Both the Village Board and the doctors demonstrated their faith in our Emergency Medical Technicians. Because of that joint commitment, the people or Pleasant Prairie receive the highest level of pre-hospital care allowed in the State of Wisconsin. The greatest level of personal satisfaction was achieved on October 1, 1991 when Pleasant Prairie became the smallest community (in population) to provide Paramedic level service. With that, people could then expect Pleasant Prairie Fire & Rescue to bring the "emergency room to their living room".
FIRE INSURANCE PREMIUMS
Based upon a community's ability to respond to fire emergencies, The Insurance Service Office (ISO) evaluates fire departments nationwide for the purpose of assigning a fire insurance rating. The numerical rating ranges from "1" to "10": The rating of "1" is the best and a rating of "10" means the community does not have a fire department. In 1985, Pleasant Prairie had a dual rating. The community was rated a "7" if you lived within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant and a "9" if you lived beyond that. Together, the Fire Department and Village (town) boards enacted a plan to improve those ratings. Today, those numbers have improved to an ISO rating of two (2) for both hydranted and non-hydranted areas.
This was accomplished because of improvements in several areas. ISO evaluated our ability to receive and handle alarms. The implementation of 9-1-1 as the emergency telephone number provided the public with easier access to our service.
ISO also evaluated our water supply. In particular, they were impressed with the expansion of municipal water. The creation of the infrastructure, including mains, towers, and a 5,000-gallon-per-minute fire pump hooked to a 5-million-gallon reservoir aided in the improvement of the rating.
The preperation for the ISO evaluation began more than three years before the actual event. Annual tests had to be performed on the pumpers, more than 12,500 feet of hose, all the equipment used to move water, self-contained breathing apparatus, and ladders. A mutual aid contract had to be on file, and it's effectiveness had to be tested, as well. However, in the final analysis, our greatest strength rested within the people associated with the department; the entire staff of full-time and Paid-on-Call firefighters held state certifications in firefighting. Our "in-house" training program, governed by a rigid attendance policy, met national standards in both the number of hours dedicated to training, as well as its content. In addition, officers were trained to direct emergency scenes. Simply put, our personnel can perform what is necessary during an emergency situation be it large or small.
In 1987, the department was operating an aging fleet of fire and rescue squad vehicles. So much so that walking into one of the stations seemed much like walking into a Peter Pirsch fire truck museum. Overall, the equipment looked terrific, but due to frequent breakdowns the fleet quickly became unreliable. As a result, the town board directed the department to develop a vehicle replacement plan. The most obvious addition to the fleet was a 110-foot aerial ladder fire truck that was purchased in 1988. Pleasant Prairie was home to several multi-story motels and a five-story senior-citizen residence. Additionally, the new Wisconsin Energies Industrial Park and Lakeview Corporate Park became a reality that same year.
"Why does Pleasant Prairie need a ladder that can reach 110 feet high?"
The length of the 110-foot ladder is used for both vertical and horizontal access. This was demonstrated in a spectacular fire that occurred in the summer of 1994 at Lawter International, 8701 95th Street. Although the building was only 35-feet high, the aerial ladder was used to get up and over the fire.
The department was operating four grass trucks that ranged in age from 18 to 30 years old. Two units powered by diesel engines and automatic transmissions replaced these four units. The grass trucks were equipped with hose, nozzles, backpack water extinguishers, and brooms purchased from the Wisconsin DNR at a significant savings to the community. By 1994, four fire engines (two pumpers and two tankers) had been replaced with two combination pumper-tankers. In 1994, Pleasant Prairie fire fighters responded to 419 calls for assistance at fires or other emergencies. The average "out the door" response time for fire apparatus was in one minute or less 80% of the time. Our Emergency Medical Technicians and paramedics responded to 788 calls for assistance and were "out the door" in less than one minute 93% of the time. This could only be accomplished because of the sincere dedication of those people, both past and present, who have served as members of Pleasant Prairie Fire and Rescue Department.

SPORTS RANTS– TERMS AND CONDITIONS A. The following are the terms and conditions for use of sportsrants.com (hereinafter referred to as "SportsRants") www.sportsrants.com, Sports Rants, sportsrants.com...


The aptly named Crank Tank was created by three students at The New School. It looks sort of like Combat for the Atari 2600 if you, with a top-down view of two tanks doing battle. But the controller is, to put it mildly, a lot different than the standard one-button joystick that came with the 2600.
Crank Tank is controlled by means of two large hand cranks. There's a four player version in which teams of two must learn to coordinate their movements, and a PVP mode in which players face off with a crank in each hand. Gameplay is fast, frenetic and fun. It's a decent upper body workout to boot.
We talked to Andrew Genualdi, one of the the three developers of the game, about how and why the them rolled their own unique form of game controller.
Who all was involved in making this game? What was your role on this project?
My name is Andrew Genualdi, and I'm one of the co-creators of the project alongside Henry Lam and Jaeseong Yi. My primary role on the project was coding the game in Unity.
Good question. It usually takes a minute and some hand gestures to explain it properly. The best way I've found to describe it is this: a crank-wheel that drives the onscreen tank (cue cranking gestures).
Before Crank Tank, nothing really. I've dabbled around with a few side projects, but nothing nearly as complete as Crank Tank. Before I came to my current graduate program, I was a research assistant in a neuroscience lab aiming to get my PhD. I got bored with that and decided I wanted to make video games, so I'm really proud to have Crank Tank be the first of many I hope to be a part of.
What development tools did you use to build Crank Tank?
The game itself is built in Unity 5.2 coded with C#. The art assets were done by Jaeseong (who is currently working on a 3D model for a massive future update). An Arduino Leonardo powers the controllers via the Arduino IDE.
What physical materials did you use to make it? How was it assembled?
The controllers themselves are made out of 3/4'' Baltic birch wood and cut with a CNC router. The pieces were cut basically like a puzzle, so the first iteration (what was submitted to GDC) was basically hammered together with brute force after cutting. Our newest and current iteration fits together more easily and is slightly less bulky to allow for easier transport and stability. The controllers are connect to the Arduino via a CAT5 cable which we cut open and resoldered to our input wires, then reattached so it could be plugged/unplugged from the original jack.
The original concept was pitched by Henry, who wanted to incorporate some type of physical cranking mechanic into an arcade game. We bounced around a few ideas (having it power a flashlight in a horror game, for example), but nothing really stuck. We were challenged by a professor of ours (Bryan Ma) to think of the cranking mechanic in a situation other than what it might be used for (such as charging a generator or reeling in fishing line). Off of that, we came up with the concept to drive a car through an obstacle course using the cranks to control the left & right tires (similar to the mechanic of the old Atari arcade game Firetruck). After a couple more iterations, we eventually landed on having a multiplayer, competitive tank death-match.
How do four-player matches between first time players generally unfold? How does that change as they familiarize themselves with the controls and learn to coordinate?
Oh, it's pretty fun to watch. Surprisingly people seem to get the mechanics fairly quickly despite it being a sort of awkward interface. The matches usually start off with the players driving around in circles or into walls as they figure out how to work together to drive straight and turn in the proper direction. After a few rounds, most players seem to get the hang of it and can actually drive around the map and coordinate with each other fairly well.
How do two-person PvP tend to differ from four-player matches?
Length of time, usually. Driving the tank yourself is significantly easier than trying to coordinate with a teammate. The game was created during a 2-week period, so right now there is a singular game mode that can be played by either 2 or 4 people. In the future, we might add some different things for each mode to make them a little more distinctive.
What has this game taught you (and Henry and Jaesong) about the benefits and drawbacks of a unique controller? What sort of takeaways do you hope that players get from the experience?
I think one of the largest benefits is that you get to give players a more enjoyable and immersive experience when playing your game. Instead of moving around a joystick to drive the tank, players actually have to drive the tank by turning the "treads." One of the biggest drawbacks is that you are often creating something entirely unique and when you run into problems or roadblocks you might not have access to an easy answer. On the flip, when you do accomplish your goal it is that much more satisfying to see your vision come to fruition.
I hope that after experiencing Crank Tank (as well as the other games exhibiting at alt.ctrl), people see that arcade games are much more than a standard cabinet with a joystick and buttons. I also hope that people will get inspired by these projects to start making more games and controllers like these, because they really are an incredible experience to be a part of.
As far as "mainstream" interfaces/controllers go? Probably not by much. In my opinion, Microsoft pretty much perfected the traditional 'controller' with the 360/X1 controller. The largest change I can see is the full-on integration of VR along with hand-tracking to completely remove the need for any physical controller. For smaller, arcade-based projects I can see things like Leap Motion being used to create experiences that don't require you to physically push any buttons or move any joysticks.

Woodbine mom champions stronger anti-cyberbullying law in daughter's memory
Posted Feb 08 2019 11:16PM EST
WOODBINE, Md. (FOX 5 DC) - A Woodbine mother is on her way to changing a Maryland law that she says will save lives.
Christine McComas' daughter, Grace, took her life back in 2012 as a result of cyberbullying – and now – seven years later – McComas is taking her fight to the Maryland legislature to make sure people are protected.
McComas has fond memories of spending time in the garden with her daughter.
"She loved to be in the garden with me. I'm a big gardener," she said.
McComas has been to a place no parent would ever dream of going.
"It's the biggest nightmare that you can never wake up from," McComas said. "She never went to another dance. She stopped playing her sports."
Grace took her own life on East Sunday 2012 amid intense bullying.
"This was not a child that was at risk this was just you know, a kid who had everything to live for," McComas said.
It was an action McComas couldn't believe and couldn't understand, but it was a moment that turned her life around.
McComas wanted to make sure the incident never happened again, so she lobbied the Maryland legislature and, in 2013, Grace's Law was signed by Governor O'Malley.
The law imposed a $500 fine and a maximum jail sentence of one year.
But it also required that a person must continuously harass someone online for a long period of time – a law that drew criticism from the ACLU.
On Thursday, the Maryland Senate unanimously approved an upgrade to the law.
"Grace's Law 2.0 is looking into seeing that it's more of an act as opposed to speech. Because you choose to take those pictures," McComas said.
It also carries a $10,000 fine, and a three-year sentence.
"If you took her name, Grace, G-R-A-C-E, It can stand for Give Respect And Compassion to Everyone. And so we would like to see more grace in the world," McComas said.
The Maryland House now has to vote on the bill.
McComas said several delegates have expressed a need to pass the bill.
If the House passes the bill – it will go to the Governor's desk to be signed into law.

WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) — Having healthy houseplants is easier said than done. Not all of us are born with a "green thumb" – and to those of us with a less than perfect track record of keeping plants alive, gardening can seem like a pretty intimidating art.
Very Sad Lab in Georgetown is described as a safe space for serial houseplant killers.
It's an idea that Valerie Wiseman brought to life last year as part of a show at Montgomery College in Silver Spring, Maryland.


If you've ever tried using Immutable.js, you'll know it's missing one very important thing – documentation! Sure, it claims to have documentation, but it is, quite simply, horrendous! It's mostly auto-generated from the API's method signatures, with virtually no examples of how to use it, and with all methods described using TypeScript – and who has time to learn another syntax just to figure out how to use a library?!
Immutable is a really good library with some excellent features for data manipulation, and great performance under the hood. If you've looked at it before but were turned off by the docs, give it another go with this series of tutorials, which hopefully make things much clearer. And if, like me, you have to use it, consider this the missing Immutable manual you always wished you had!
Thank you for this site!! Immutable would be unbearable without this site.

Q: Pull and use JSON data from a URL with JavaScript How can I pull and use JSON data using JavaScript?
For example, this URL has the following JSON:
{
   "id": "220439",
   "name": "Bret Taylor",
   "first_name": "Bret",
   "last_name": "Taylor",
   "link": "http://www.facebook.com/btaylor",
   "username": "btaylor",
   "gender": "male",
   "locale": "en_US"
}

How can I get this data into JavaScript variables?
I'm not looking to use Facebook API or anything dynamic right now, just getting JSON data from a static URL into JavaScript.
In PHP I could easily do this like:
$contents = file_get_contents($url);
$jsonObj = json_decode($contents);
echo "Name: ".$jsonObj->{'name'};

A: You would need to use AJAX or a script loader to fetch your JSON string, then parse the JSON string.

A: I recommend jQuery's $.getJSON() method
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/
Live demo with your data here: http://jsfiddle.net/6ZeJ8/3/
Of course, you'll need jQuery to use this method, put this into the <head> of your HTML, should work just fine.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>

TIANJIN, China (Reuters) – Two huge explosions tore through an industrial area where toxic chemicals and gas were stored in the northeast Chinese port city of Tianjin, killing at least 50 people, including at least a dozen fire fighters, officials and state media said.
The blasts the night of August 12, so large that they were seen by satellites in space, sent shockwaves through apartment blocks kilometres away in the port city of 15 million people. Internet videos showed fireballs shooting into the sky and the U.S. Geological Survey registered the blasts as seismic events.
"Our building is shaking. Is this an atomic bomb?" said a frenzied voice inside.
Among the injured were some employees of John Deere & Co <DE.N>, the U.S. farm and construction equipment maker based in Moline, Illinois. Company spokesman Ken Golden said several employees who were at home at the time of the blasts sustained serious injuries and that some are in critical condition.

OH YOU PRETTY THINGS
We've Come So Far: The Last Days of Death by Audio
Death By Audio was a beloved underground venue that occupied a large warehouse space on the waterfront of Williamsburg, Brooklyn from 2005 until 2014. Within its walls were a music venue, a guitar effects pedal company, a rehearsal space / recording studio, and the home of over 10 artists and musicians. Shortly after its founders moved into the space in 2005, Williamsburg was in full swing as a hub of DIY music, cultural, and artistic activity in NYC. In a rapidly changing neighborhood transforming from affordable artist haven to tourist/shopping/dining oasis, Death By Audio was the longest lasting DIY space in Williamsburg and its closing in November 2014 not only signaled the loss of a physical space; on a broader scale, it sounded the final death knell of the neighborhood as an epicenter of creativity. The music venue part of Death By Audio was the public face of the space and it hosted thousands of concerts, giving much-needed support to local and touring bands operating outside the structure of official NYC concert venues. The space developed a reputation for nurturing the underground music community and curating shows with the best emerging bands from around the country. Throughout the years, the venue hosted a multitude of bands that went on to enjoy international acclaim, including A Place To Bury Strangers, Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Future Islands, Jeff the Brotherhood and Lightning Bolt, among so many more.
Ebru Yildiz, a Turkish-born, Brooklyn-based music and portrait photographer, was a regular at the very first parties thrown at Death By Audio back in 2005, drawn in by her love of the de facto house band, A Place To Bury Strangers. Upon hearing of the venue's imminent closure she knew she had to be there for the end, too. Yildiz was at Death By Audio almost every day and night for the last 75 days of its existence, photographing not only the raucous concerts but also the quieter, more intimate scenes from the daily lives of the people who worked and lived in the space. The result is not only a visual documentation of the final days of one of the longest-standing, most vital venues in the DIY community of early 2000s NYC, but also a window into the dedication and hard work that goes into creating a space whose primary focus is to nurture artistic expression and fellowship.

Commonly used annealed glass is easy to break. Tempered glass, though stronger, can also be shattered by applying great force. If broken at all, laminated glass behaves very differently: it has a vinyl interlayer which stays in the frame, allowing the fragments of glass to adhere to it. With this adherence, a stronger barrier against forced entry is provided since the glass cannot now be cut from just one side. Glasscutters are hence rendered useless.
Laminated glass from Cardinal complies with very demanding industry regulations, among them the ASTM FI 233, which is the standard regulating prevention of forced entry as outlined by the American Society of Testing Materials. In addition, it complies with UL 972, Underwriters Laboratories guidelines for burglary resistance. Our laminated glass has been customized according to the requirements for all security applications, with the best options available to select from.

Early turned maple Wooden bowl with the best dry red paint and surface. Extremely light in weight and has wonderful shrinkage with No cracks.
Dimensions: Measures 13 1/2" at it`s widest point by 13 1/4" and is 3 7/8" tall.


I hate getting other people's half baked projects. It never ends well. It always starts with a simple -- hey I'll adjust the timing, air up the spare, and drive it...but ends with crap, where the blazes can I get another a double cardan constant velocity u-joint for a Simca? The ONLY reason I'd ever take another project is if the price was really good...yeah...$500...that'll do. Find this 1978 MG Midget in pieces here on eBay offered for $500 buy-it-now located in Haddam, CT.
Here is a nice Rubber bumper MG Midget project. The old owner took the car apart for a restoration. You know what happens then. Everything was bagged and marked. Dash and interior is nice. Not sure of mileage as I packed everything in the car and packed it up for the winter. I am selling with a bill of sale only, as Ct. does not issue titles on cars this old. I might be able to get the old Ct. registration.
There are new rockers included, but the only hole is about 2"x4" in size. There are new brake parts and carbs. Motor turns fine and trans shift as it should.
Great car for parts or restore. I just don't need another project at the time.
Pick up only. I will help load on your trailer.
Car is located in Haddam Ct.
OH MY GOD! The big cars are eating the little cars!
On this one you don't even need to do the wrenching to part this one out. Seems like you could make your money back selling it off.

A role for actomyosin contractility in Notch signaling View Full Text
Ginger L. Hunter, Li He, Norbert Perrimon, Guillaume Charras, Edward Giniger, Buzz Baum
BACKGROUND: Notch-Delta signaling functions across a wide array of animal systems to break symmetry in a sheet of undifferentiated cells and generate cells with different fates, a process known as lateral inhibition. Unlike many other signaling systems, however, since both the ligand and receptor are transmembrane proteins, the activation of Notch by Delta depends strictly on cell-cell contact. Furthermore, the binding of the ligand to the receptor may not be sufficient to induce signaling, since recent work in cell culture suggests that ligand-induced Notch signaling also requires a mechanical pulling force. This tension exposes a cleavage site in Notch that, when cut, activates signaling. Although it is not known if mechanical tension contributes to signaling in vivo, others have suggested that this is how endocytosis of the receptor-ligand complex contributes to the cleavage and activation of Notch. In a similar way, since Notch-mediated lateral inhibition at a distance in the dorsal thorax of the pupal fly is mediated via actin-rich protrusions, it is possible that cytoskeletal forces generated by networks of filamentous actin and non-muscle myosin during cycles of protrusion extension and retraction also contribute to Notch signaling. RESULTS: To test this hypothesis, we carried out a detailed analysis of the role of myosin II-dependent tension in Notch signaling in the developing fly and in cell culture. Using dynamic fluorescence-based reporters of Notch, we found that myosin II is important for signaling in signal sending and receiving cells in both systems-as expected if myosin II-dependent tension across the Notch-Delta complex contributes to Notch activation. While myosin II was found to contribute most to signaling at a distance, it was also required for maximal signaling between adjacent cells that share lateral contacts and for signaling between cells in culture. CONCLUSIONS: Together these results reveal a previously unappreciated role for non-muscle myosin II contractility in Notch signaling, providing further support for the idea that force contributes to the cleavage and activation of Notch in the context of ligand-dependent signaling, and a new paradigm for actomyosin-based mechanosensation.

77 ″ schema:description BACKGROUND: Notch-Delta signaling functions across a wide array of animal systems to break symmetry in a sheet of undifferentiated cells and generate cells with different fates, a process known as lateral inhibition. Unlike many other signaling systems, however, since both the ligand and receptor are transmembrane proteins, the activation of Notch by Delta depends strictly on cell-cell contact. Furthermore, the binding of the ligand to the receptor may not be sufficient to induce signaling, since recent work in cell culture suggests that ligand-induced Notch signaling also requires a mechanical pulling force. This tension exposes a cleavage site in Notch that, when cut, activates signaling. Although it is not known if mechanical tension contributes to signaling in vivo, others have suggested that this is how endocytosis of the receptor-ligand complex contributes to the cleavage and activation of Notch. In a similar way, since Notch-mediated lateral inhibition at a distance in the dorsal thorax of the pupal fly is mediated via actin-rich protrusions, it is possible that cytoskeletal forces generated by networks of filamentous actin and non-muscle myosin during cycles of protrusion extension and retraction also contribute to Notch signaling. RESULTS: To test this hypothesis, we carried out a detailed analysis of the role of myosin II-dependent tension in Notch signaling in the developing fly and in cell culture. Using dynamic fluorescence-based reporters of Notch, we found that myosin II is important for signaling in signal sending and receiving cells in both systems-as expected if myosin II-dependent tension across the Notch-Delta complex contributes to Notch activation. While myosin II was found to contribute most to signaling at a distance, it was also required for maximal signaling between adjacent cells that share lateral contacts and for signaling between cells in culture. CONCLUSIONS: Together these results reveal a previously unappreciated role for non-muscle myosin II contractility in Notch signaling, providing further support for the idea that force contributes to the cleavage and activation of Notch in the context of ligand-dependent signaling, and a new paradigm for actomyosin-based mechanosensation.

Avoid the IKEA Visa Credit Card, Unless You Love Eating Swedish Meatballs
IKEA launched their new Visa credit card today, issued by Comenity Bank. On the surface, it looks good. But the devil is in the details.
The big pitch is that you'll get 5% back on IKEA purchases, as well as 5% back on Traemand and Taskrabbit services. You'll also get 3% back on dining, grocery and utility purchases. And you'll get 1% back on everything else. There's also a $25 reward certificate bonus for signing up and another $25 after making $500 in purchases outside of IKEA within the first 90 days of opening the card.
Perks wise, everything you get as an IKEA Family reward card member comes with this card as well. The one exception, you'll also get free standard shipping & delivery on in-store purchases thru 8/31.
But there's a huge catch: the rewards come in the form of an IKEA voucher. Every time you accumulate $15 in rewards, IKEA will issue you a voucher good for 45 days.
But I would wager that most people don't shop at IKEA every 45 days for furniture. Meaning you'll easily lose out on the value of the reward. That is, unless you're an IKEA fanatic and visit every weekend. In which case, I hope these vouchers can be used towards a Swedish meatball meal in the IKEA restaurant.
The interest rate is set at a standard 21.99% for everyone, which is abysmally high. You're better off getting an IKEA Projekt card for really big IKEA purchases (over $5,000). Or using any other credit card for smaller purchases.
Bottom Line: Don't apply for this credit card. There are better rewards cards out there. Unless you're an IKEA fanatic.

Knicks Waive Arnett Moultrie
October 27th 2014 at 3:13pm CST by Chuck Myron
The Knicks have waived Arnett Moultrie, the team announced at the same time at which they confirmed they've traded for him (Twitter link). A decision had been due by Friday on a rookie scale team option worth more than $2MM for the 27th overall pick from 2012, but that salary will be nullified unless a team claims Moultrie off waivers. New York will still be on the hook for Moultrie's 2014/15 salary, worth slightly more than $1.136MM, if another team doesn't submit a claim.
The 23-year-old Moultrie had been Philadelphia's longest tenured player before the Sixers shipped him to the Knicks today. Still, he didn't appear to have much of a future with the team, particularly in light of his drug-related suspension last season. He saw action in only 12 games in 2013/14 after appearing in 47 as a rookie, averaging 3.6 points in 12.4 minutes per game for his career.
New York is set to save about $4.7MM against its luxury tax bill, as Marc Stein of ESPN.com estimates (on Twitter), as a result of putting Moultrie's salary on the books as opposed to the $3MM in cash that's guaranteed to Travis Outlaw, who went to the Sixers in today's trade. The Knicks began today with about $88.9MM in guaranteed salary, well above the $76.829MM tax line, but the league only calculates the tax based on a team's roster at the end of the regular season. In any case, letting go of Moultrie leaves the Knicks with 15 players, the regular season max, including 13 fully guaranteed contracts and partial guarantees with Samuel Dalembert and Travis Wear.

Yes please add this funcionality. I really, really don't want any Sean Paul, Gavin deGraw or Maroon 5 coming up. It just ruins my moment, whenever, wherever. I'm on a trial subscription, but without functionality like this i will not continue my subscription for there are better services that do.
I totally agree on this case. I pay premium to listen to what I want but the 'promoting' of certain artists is really annoying. I'm not extending my subscription after the summer because Spotify does not care about my favourite music and they tell me what to listen but not vice versa. And this is wrong in modern times when complex algorithms can be created to offer unheard music but after months of listening to jazz, indie, soul, electro I get offered..... Drake. THIS IS A JOKE!
Obviously Spotify don't use any sort of algorithm to match up similar types of music or music liked by people who like the same songs/artists/genres.
And I totally agree with the above poster... What is up with this Drake rubbish? It's everywhere on Spotify and I've never listened to it on Spotify and it's nothing like anything I do listen to.
Go home, Spotify. You're drunk.
Obviously they make money from playing Drake.
I'm amazed at how poor spotify is at this type of thing, especially given how long it's been around.
I moved from google music to spotify because the family plan made more sense for my setup.
I've been constantly dissapointed since. Artist radios play the same songs all the time and it is unable to learn from my activity.
Please sort it out or I'll be going back to google music.
Hey Spotify! You should really take care of your customers better than this or you will go the same way as, as, uh, well, don't worry! We will forget your name too!
i used to be able to remove/ block artists that i am against, based on their political or ethnical or cultural bealives, and now I am stuck listening artists who hate my race and there is no button to block them. Why is that Spotify, why you chose to remove that feature. Is that your policy, to support artists who hate people based on their nationality or religious bealives or race ?
Spotify are you racist ??????!!!! As long as money flow no side is chosen ?
Yup....purely money and greed. Coming from a PAID service this is unacceptable.
This simple request has been around for YEARS and Spotify chooses to ignore their customers.
Today I was listening to Metallica, Dio, Ozzy, and other excellent bands. At the end of my playlist it began playing music from other artists on its own. No problem ususally, but to play Ted Nugent is an affront to all the bands above. Please make a feature to ignore an artist completely.
This is not solved. How hard can it be to program a function to let users block artists and music styles they don't like. Is it about money and artists and rappers who pay to get their music pushed?
Spotify and others are ignoring their users, and I will switch directly to the service who will provide a blocking feature.
Yes, the feature was just released recently.


22 heroes. Six Infinity Stones. One Mad Titan.
We're referring, of course, to Entertainment Weekly's Avengers: Infinity War blowout, which kicked off late last week with a raft of beautiful covers designed to bring us closer to the film's incredible ensemble cast.
Conspicuous by his absence? Hawkeye, sadly, who was nowhere to be seen. Not that that came as much of a surprise, mind you, as the character has been left on the sidelines for most of Infinity War's marketing campaign. It's got folks a bit worried, too, though what's likely going on is that Marvel's just trying to avoid spoilers, as there's obviously a big reveal on the way for Jeremy Renner's fan favorite.
Be that as it may, Renner himself is seemingly tired of being left out of the spotlight and has today shared a fan-made cover dedicated entirely to Mr. Clint Barton. It was designed by Boss Logic and puts Hawkeye front and centre, striking a pose and looking badass as usual. But that's not all, as another variation surfaced as well and actually has the character in his Ronin guise, which he's rumored to be transitioning into at some point during the film.
Initially dreamed up by comic book duo Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesada, Ronin is essentially another alias for Clint Barton, who comes into play as part of Marvel's New Avengers. He also has ties to the Skrulls, which may help bridge Captain Marvel with the current iteration of the MCU.
Circling back to Hawkeye, though, and we wouldn't be too concerned about the studio leaving him out of the marketing campaign. Like we said above, it's almost definitely because of spoilers and not because he doesn't have a big role. After all, Renner recently told us that the film will do "wondrous things" with the character.
What exactly that means, we don't know, but we don't have long left before we see Barton and the rest of the gang back on the big screen, as the Avengers will assemble to take down the Mad Titan once and for all on April 27th, when Infinity War storms into theaters.
