SPORTS: Neah Bay blows out Aussie Travelers at Crush in the Slush; other prep basketball results

PORT TOWNSEND ? Neah Bay dominated the Aussie Travelers from the opening tip and won 79-21 in the Crush in the Slush Tournament at Port Townsend High School on Friday morning.

Tyler McCaulley and Ryan Moss led the offensive onslaught, both drilling five 3-pointers apiece. McCaulley led all scorers with 17 points and Moss had 15.

The Red Devils also got 14 points from Abraham Venske in the win.

After Neah Bay jumped out to a quick 15-2 lead midway through the opening quarter, assistant coach Stan Claplanhoo, who was filling in for head coach Gerrad Brooks, did a five-in, five-out substitution. The Red Devils also pulled back on defense.

?We didn?t show our game today,? Claplanhoo said. ?We usually pressure [on defense] all the time.?

Despite the wholesale changes, Neah Bay continued to roll and finished the quarter with a 26-2 advantage.

The game provide an opportunity to for the Red Devils to play together at full strength.

They were short-handed due to members of the 1B state runner-up football team not having met the required number of practices.

?It was good to get a game in,? Claplanhoo said. ?Some guys? shots are coming around.?

McCaulley is one of those late arrivals finally finding his shooting touch.

?Those shots weren?t falling a week ago,? Claplanhoo said of McCaulley?s hot shooting night.

It was the only game in the Crush in the Slush Tournament for Neah Bay. The Red Devils are off until Tuesday, Jan. 8, when they host Forks, which beat Neah Bay 60-54 earlier this month.

OCEAN SHORES ? A day after suffering their first loss of the season, the Spartans clubbed the Owls on Friday in the North Beach Invitational.

Forks was coming off a 62-59 setback to a hot-shooting Taholah team Thursday.

?It was good after our first loss to come together and not play sporadic,? Forks coach Rick Gooding said.

?It was a great all-around win. Every single player contributed. We got back to playing team basketball.?

Braden Decker followed up a career-high 29 points Thursday with 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists.

Guard Colton Raben shook off a scoreless game to tie Decker with a game-high 14 points.

Leo Gonzales grabbed 13 rebounds and scored 10 points. Mark Jacobson had 10 boards and eight points.

The Spartans? shooting was much better than Thursday when they only made 29 percent of their shots. They doubled that number Friday, shooting 58 percent from the field.

CENTRALIA ? Justice Tasby exploded for 36 points as the Tigers beat the Roughriders for the second time this season on Thursday.

Port Angeles fell behind 27-10 in the first quarter and was unable to get back in the game.

Hayden Gunderson led the Riders with 15 points. He also dished out five assists and pulled down nine rebounds, including four on the offensive end.

Caleb Treider added 13 for Port Angeles, and Garrett Payton and Derek Schumacher scored 12 each. Schumacher also had seven rebound and Payton had six.

Sophomore Hunter Hathaway grabbed nine boards and scored six points.

Although four players scored in double figures, the Riders only shot 34 percent from the field and were just 4 for 26 on 3-point attempts.

?We shot way too many 3s,? Port Angeles coach Brent Stephens said. ?We settled for 3s when we could have taken good two-point shots.?

Port Angeles was without its best post player, Marshall Elliott, who is out for three weeks with a concussion.

They also didn?t have Nathan Angevine and Lambros Rogers, both key members of the Riders? rotation.

Centralia beat Port Angeles earlier this month 92-53.

?We bridged the gap [17 points] from last time,? Stephens said. ?We made it competitive.

?For us to bridge the gap like that without a starter and two other contributing players [shows] we?re improving.?

Sequim 36,
Mornington 29

PORT TOWNSEND ? A 25-point second half helped the Wolves overcome a slow start and beat the Mornington Breakers of Australia in the Crush in the Slush Tournament at Port Angeles High School on Friday morning.

Sequim nearly went the entire first quarter without a point, scoring its first and only bucket with five second remaining in the period.

Any win is a beautiful win for the Wolves, though, especially considering they were without their leading scorer, Alexas Besand, and only senior, Columbia Haupt.

?It?s a big win, especially for our confidence,? Sequim coach Evan Still said.

With those key players missing, Still said the focus was to give playing time to less-experienced players.

Two players typically on the Sequim JV team, Jordan Miller and Judy Villella, were important contributors to the win, especially in the first half when the offense was stagnant.

Villella finished with four points and Miller scored three.

Hailey Lester and Elise Beuke led Sequim with seven points apiece. Emily Wallner added six.

Because they were facing a team from another continent, Sequim had to play without any prior scouting. Therefore, the Wolves had no choice but to keep the game plan simple.

?We just told the girls to play our game, and for the most part we did,? Still said.

QUILCENE ? The Rangers earned a non-league win over the Bruins on Friday behind 15 points, six rebounds and fives steals by freshman Jerrica Viloria.

?Our girls really came together and played as a team,? Quilcene coach Briana Weller said.

?We saw the floor and were able to react to the Bruins? physical play.?

Weller added that tough defense gave the Rangers several fast-break opportunities.

Many Quilcene players contributed to the victory.

Team captain Andrea Lara scored 13 points and tallied five steals.

Sophomore center Sammy Rae had 11 points, 12 rebounds and three blocked shots; freshman Megan Weller had four points, 10 boards, five assists and six steals; and Alex Johnson, yet another freshman, scored two points, grabbed three boards and finished with two steals off the bench.

Zeria Signor led the Bruins with 10 points.

?I was happy with our defense, we had 20 steals as a team,? Clallam Bay coach Kathleen Winter said.

?We had two quarters that we couldn?t make much happen offensively. We had 31 turnovers for the game.?

The Bruins? record is now 4-2 on the season. They start league play Friday at Crescent.

Quilcene improved to 4-5. The Rangers next travel to Seattle on Friday to face Shorewood Christian in a league matchup.

Chasing Geese at the CommonGround Golf Course

I did a cost analysis for the amount of money my golf course spends each year on geese management. ?

We spend a lot of man-hours on scattering the geese and cleaning up goose droppings. ?Below are some conservative estimates that you can apply to your course.

Task	Hours	Duration	Cost Per Person (Based upon full-time and part-time staff)	Total
drag tees and fairways with keystone dragmat	6 hours per week	November to ?February/ ?16 weeks	$10 per hour	$960
making goose runs hourly	30 minutes	6 hours per day	$10 per hour	$2400
shoveling goose poop off of greens	1 hour per week	16 weeks	$10 per hour	$160
making goose runs daily in the evenings before sunset	1.5 hours per day x	16 weeks x 7 days= 112 hours	$10 per hour	$1120
repairing goose pecks in greens, collars, and tees	1 hour per week	32 weeks x 1 hour work 32	$10 per hour	$320
full crew of 7 randomly chasing geese during summer	2 hours per week	32 weeks	$10 per hour	$640

The total cost to our golf course and similar to yours is at least

$5600

** I estimated everything conservatively, so you probably will spend even more**

We wanted to develop a product that would get rid of your geese and be less than half of the cost of normal geese maintenance. ?

"Randy I wanted to tell you how fabulous the goosinator has worked for us. As a superintendent I?ve been fighting the goose problem for 15 years. The only thing which got marginal results was setting up a schedule for regular frequent chasing in carts. I now spend at least 5 times less on labor and, my estimate would be, have gone from having to drag fairways, tees, and green surrounds once a week and still having a mess out there, to having to search for any goose droppings. That is the most amazing thing no goose droppings There seems to be a residual effect of keeping them away. The goosinator is the closest thing to magic I?ve seen."

Texas builds 'hurricane domes' for double-duty

EDNA, Texas (AP) ? Texas is building specially designed "hurricane domes" along its Gulf Coast that will offer shelter during major storms and serve the rest of the time as gyms or community centers.

The proposed 28 domes are part of the Texas Safe Shelter Initiative, created to protect sick and elderly residents who can't evacuate ahead of a hurricane. First-responders will also be able to use the facilities, which are being funded mostly by the federal government.

The school district in the town of Edna, about 100 miles southwest of Houston, is building a hurricane dome that will be nearly 20,000 square feet and able to withstand winds up to 200 mph.

When not needed for a storm, it will be used mainly as a high school gym.

Pet Talk: Volunteer puppy raisers socialize assistance dogs for ...

If you?ve resolved to find a meaningful way to help people and the animals that aid them this coming year, here?s one thought: volunteer to raise a puppy.

Canine Companions for Independence, a national nonprofit which provides trained assistance dogs free of charge?to people with disabilities, relies on volunteers to help socialize the dogs before their formal career training begins.

?We call it getting ready for college,? says Susan Manuel, president of CCI?s Cascade Chapter and a volunteer puppy raiser. ?There are certain things you have to learn, you have to be a certain level of maturity and have some life experience to be successful in college. It?s kind of the same thing with these dogs.?

Socializing is a key factor in prepping the puppies for their future careers because the work they will do is vital to their future owner?s well-being.

They need to be able to behave properly while their handler is at work and out and about, so the puppy raisers provide the dogs with basic obedience training and expose them to as many people and places as possible. Dogs often accompany them to work, out shopping and even on vacation.

The California-based nonprofit, established in 1975, trains four types of assistance dogs to help people who have physical or developmental disabilities; are hearing-impaired; or who need comfort in a health care, courtroom or educational setting.

The puppies are bred by volunteer breeder caretakers, who must live within 90 miles of the organization?s headquarters in Santa Rosa, Calif. All of the dogs are either Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers or a cross of the two.

Becoming a puppy raiser

The puppies spend their first eight weeks in a volunteer breeder caretaker?s home, then go through a health check and are shipped out to one of the 1,050 puppy raisers in five regions around the country. They?ll live in the volunteers? homes for the next 16 to 18 months.

Puppy raisers don?t have to be dog experts by any means. In fact, some volunteers have never even owned a dog before.

?We have people that come to us with zero dog experience and have never had a dog before in their life,? says Heather Ohmart, a contract trainer for CCI and volunteer puppy raiser. ?It?s something most anybody can do.?

New volunteers are equipped with a manual, video, and classroom support from fellow CCI volunteers.

The assistance offered by fellow volunteers was a big bonus for Manuel, who has owned dogs before but never raised a puppy. Now, she?s caring for her fifth.

A software engineer for Hewlett-Packard, Manuel was inspired to socialize puppies after seeing a co-worker get involved. She contacted him, and was caring for a puppy about six weeks later.

?I love the idea of combining my love of dogs with helping people,? she says.

Her participation with CCI has connected her to a whole new community, she says. What?s more, the trademark blue-and-yellow capes often inspire others to inquire about the dogs.

?You find connections everywhere and it?s such a wonderful thing,? Manuel says. ?It?s given me a whole world I never even knew about.?

Ohmart stepped up after hearing a CCI graduate do a presentation about the importance of service dogs in her life.?

The woman was on a waiting list for her next service dog after the previous one passed away. Without a dog to assist her, she said, she was unable to leave her home independently without her husband or children.

?I filled out an application on the spot,? says Ohmart, who also works with female inmates in CCI?s puppy training program at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville.

Prospective puppy raisers should have no more than three dogs at home already. Kids are fine ? the more opportunities to socialize, the better ? but people with infants are encouraged to hold off until the children are a little more self-sufficient.

Puppy raisers should also be financially capable of caring for the dogs and be able to afford food, medical care, training and transportation (all of which should be tax-deductible, but check with your tax adviser first).

Traits that make good puppy raisers include consistency, reliability and an appreciation for CCI?s mission.

Volunteering is ideal for families with teenagers, Manuel points out, and makes for a good senior-year project. It?s also a good way to introduce potential owners to daily life with dogs on a short-term basis.

One of the most common questions Manuel and Ohmart frequently hear is, how can they ever give the puppies up?

Some won?t have to. Some dogs are released from the program, and their puppy raisers have the first right of adoption to those dogs.

Those that do graduate help their new handlers so much that their stories are inspiration enough to wipe away the tears and turn over the leash, Ohmart says

For instance, there?s Vancouver resident Mary Williams, who relies on her hearing dog Suzanne the Second to navigate her through her now-silent world.

After losing her hearing, she no longer felt safe going for walks because she couldn?t hear people coming behind her.

?My world became smaller,? she says.

Suzanne expanded it again. The hearing dog, which has been with Williams for eight years, recognizes at least 30 sounds, ranging from the doorbell and phone to a honking car horn.

?The deafness kind of clipped my wings,? Williams says, ?and Suzie gave them back.?

To volunteer as a CCI puppy raiser:

Visit the website for more information and to fill out the volunteer application: cci.org. Call Susan Manuel, president of CCI?s Cascade Chapter, with questions at 971-533-7458.

If you think you might want to raise a puppy, you can start by filling out an application online. The application process usually involves a phone interview and a home visit to make sure your home is safe for a puppy.

Official: Turkey talking to jailed Kurdish leader

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) ? Turkey is holding talks with the Kurdish rebels' jailed leader to press the autonomy-seeking guerrilla group to relinquish arms and end its decades-long conflict, a senior official was quoted as saying on Sunday.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's chief adviser, Yalcin Akdogan, insisted in an interview with Taraf newspaper that the discussions were aimed at convincing the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, to lay down its arms for good. He said Turkey was not seeking any kind of a temporary truce, similar to those the PKK has declared in the past and which critics say allow the group to recoup before resuming attacks on Turkish military targets.

"The basic aim of the meetings is not a temporary ceasefire but to push the organization to put down its arms," Taraf quoted Akdogan as saying.

Akdogan's comments came days after Erdogan also said Turkey's intelligence agency has resumed discussions with rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan, who is serving a life term on a prison island off Istanbul. "As long as we see a light we'll continue to talk. If there is no light, we'll stop there," Erdogan said, without providing details on the discussions.

Turkey ? which has been torn between a desire for reconciliation with Kurds and its stated aim of battling a group it regards as terrorists ? has admitted holding secret discussions with Ocalan and other PKK members in recent years. Officials have said those talks failed.

The conflict has claimed tens of thousands of lives since the rebels ? who are seeking self-rule for Kurds in southeast Turkey ? took up arms in 1984. Turkey's Western allies also label the group a terrorist organization. The Kurdish minority comprises more than 20 percent of Turkey's 75 million people.

The resumption of talks with Ocalan comes amid a surge in violence this year which has killed hundreds of PKK rebels, Turkish security force members and civilians.

Ocalan, imprisoned since 1999, is believed to still hold sway over the PKK. Last month, at Ocalan's request, hundreds of Kurdish prisoners ended a hunger strike they had started to demand more rights for Kurds and improved jail conditions.

Erdogan's government has granted unprecedented rights to Kurds since coming to power in 2002, including opening a Kurdish-language television station and allowing optional Kurdish language courses in schools. But prospects of a solution appear remote due to Turkish public opposition to granting greater concessions, including political autonomy, to the Kurds.

The recent increase in violence follows the arrests of thousands of Kurdish activists, including elected mayors and journalists, who are accused of membership in an umbrella organization prosecutors say is linked to the PKK. Many Kurds also are angered that no one has been held to account for military air strikes last year that killed 34 Kurdish civilians, many of them youngsters, who were mistaken for PKK fighters.

Simple Home Improvements that Go a Long Way

Renovating your home doesn?t have to be extremely costly or time-consuming. You can change the look of any room in your house with a few simple changes. From paint color to easy decor switch-ups, it?s not difficult to create a new look.

Look at flooring as a simple renovation option. Hardwood floors are a top choice for homeowners, but they can be very expensive. Consider laminate flooring instead. You can achieve the same look, but for so much less. Laminate floors come in a wide variety of colors and designs, so no matter what overall feel your home calls for, you can find a finish that will fit perfectly.

Do-it-yourself types love the ease with which laminate floors can be installed. If you?re not the handy type, call a contractor. It will still cost quite a bit less to have laminate floors installed when compared to hardwood flooring.

Changing the paint color in a room instantly creates a new look. It?s one of the most inexpensive ways to give your home a facelift. Again, this is a task many homeowners can take on themselves or they can always hire a professional to complete it. Light colors make a room appear larger and more airy, but a contrast wall in an eye-catching color is a modern way to give a room a bit of ?pop.?

Adding ?pops? of color to a room can be as simple as changing small decor items. Pillows are a favorite, but think beyond sofa and chair pillows. Large floor pillows are practical and decorative at the same time. From luxurious materials like silk to funky patterns like animal print, you can change a room?s complete feel with the right pillow choices.

Update your home?s look with modern fixtures. Switch out cabinet pulls and doorknobs; it?s an inexpensive fix that you can do in one weekend. The same can be accomplished with new faucets and handles in the bathroom or kitchen. Look for what?s hot in home fixtures and instantly pull a room into the current decade with simple additions like these.

Window treatments are another way to change your home?s look in no time. Blinds are still popular, but drapes have never gone out of style for people who love them. Curtains are available in a huge range of shades and styles. For outdoor changes, the simple addition of shutters can give your home?s exterior a great lift.

You don?t have to endure a long and costly home renovation to give your house a new look. Whether you go for a big switch like laminate flooring or smaller touches like decorative accents, you don?t have to go broke when giving your home a makeover. Focus on one room or focus on one change like laminate on your floors. Even the simplest renovations can make a home of any age feel like new.

Background to Malta
Malta is a Mediterranean Island with remains going back millennia to prehistoric times. UNESCO has placed six of the above ground prehistoric temples on the World Heritage List, some of which are thought to be the oldest free standing buildings in the world. The providential arrival of the Apostle St Paul around 60 AD, introduced Christianity to Malta, and was to help Malta become known as the island of Paul. The attractions of these sites, and the visits paid by visitors throughout time, have led some to describe Malta as the Central Mediterranean holy island. The Knights of the Order of St John tried their best to increase this religious interest in Malta, as they tried to create a pilgrimage route to Malta, by supporting the creation of the cult of St Paul. Today, there are many sites, traditions and legends that are connected with this cult.

The Maltese islands were home to the Religious Military Order of St John (now better known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta) from 1530 to 1798, and this led to an increase in religious manifestations, especially during the Baroque period. Today, the many parish churches are lavishly decorated, well kept, and a good portion of parishioners are highly involved in the organisation of the annual feast to their patron saint.

The islands of Malta are a veritable showcase of religious traditions.

Visit the following sites for further information:
The official website of the Malta Tourism Authority: http://www.new.visitmalta.com/
The website of the Institution of Tourism Studies: http://www.its.edu.mt/
Location of Workshop:
The Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies was set up to organise talks, exhibitions and other cultural related activities for tourism students as well as for the general public. The Centre forms part of the Institute of Tourism Studies, the only post-secondary Institution in Malta that prepares the future workforce for the important Tourism industry in Malta. During its brief time since established, the Centre has organised art exhibitions, public talks, thematic cultural walks, and has hosted foreign experts to give talks to students and academic staff as well as the general public.
The workshop will be held on the premises of the Institute, at St George?s Bay, St Julians where all the lecture rooms are well equipped.

Access / Transfers:
Malta is well connected by air from all the major airports of Europe.
Many budget airlines fly to Malta, while all the major airlines provide scheduled flights to the island.

Accommodation Details:
Accommodation is being offered to delegates at a Franciscan run retreat house, close to the ITS. Alternative accommodation can also be organised on request.
Please contact the organising committee for any further details.

Cantor Fitzgerald hit with race discrimination suit ? Business ...

Cantor Fitzgerald faces a discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by a black former employee who claims he was fired for complaining about race bias at the Manhattan-headquartered investment banking firm.

According to his lawsuit, Jermaine objected to co-workers who often made ?monkey noises? around him. On one occasion, Jermaine claims, a co-worker told him he would be ?enjoying his weekend where there won?t be any n*****s.?

Jermaine claims that despite numerous complaints, management took no steps to stop the racial harassment. When he told a manager he felt the treatment was preventing him from advancing, the manager allegedly replied that Jermaine needed to transfer to an office where he could ?be around his own people.? When Jermaine asked him what that meant, the manager replied, ?black people.?

His lawsuit seeks back pay and bonuses, as well as punitive damages.

Note: Employers must investigate all claims of harassment to determine if the charges are true. Train managers about their obligations under anti-discrimination laws.

Email Marketing: How To Market Effectively Without Becoming SPAM

Many have turned to marketing with email as part of their online business-building, but do not know exactly how to get started. There are several different avenues that can lead to email promoting success, and sorting through them all might seem confusing. Keep reading to learn more about marketing via email and set goals that correspond to your business.

Send birthday greetings to subscribers. Include a field for customers to opt in so they can receive a birthday wish. This helps customers feel like your business cares. To maximize the effect of this technique, send a coupon or discount code along with the automated message.

Try using different techniques when you are email marketing. Books are available in libraries and online. There are also many local workshops and classes that you can find in your area, so it would be to your benefit to attend what you can.

TIP! As an email marketer, is imperative that branding is consistent. Consistency is recognizable when dealing with every aspect of an email design.

Occasionally mix your format up to add personality. If you normally use HTML format for your email messages, use plain text format occasionally. When done judiciously, this can make your customer feel a personal connection to you and your products.

If someone wants to opt out, let them do so immediately. Subscribers might think that you aren?t acknowledging them if you are still sending them emails every day after they have opted-out.

Always have the customer?s permission before you send an email to them. When you email your customers without asking them, they may think you are a spammer and not read them. Also, you will lose your chance of reaching people later if they opt out of the list. If your internet service provider labels you as a spammer you may face additional penalties.

TIP! You need to get your customers? permission in order to send them any correspondence by email. If you don?t have permission, people will not trust you and you will build a bad reputation.

Know what your competition is doing with their own email marketing campaigns. Obtain an email address specifically for this purpose, and sign up for their lists, using it. By seeing what they?re doing, you will be able to make your emails better than theirs. You should always look for areas where they are lacking, and try to fill the void. For instance, you should always try to top their discounts.

Email Clients

Keep subject lines under 60 characters long. There are many email clients that shorten the subject to reach this length. Other email clients are not able to show anything that is longer than that. The truth is that most subscribers will only need to see something that short to decide whether they want to continue reading your message.

TIP! You will quickly lose customers if you are thought to be a spammer, so avoid this label at any cost. Essentially, everyone who has signed up for your email list will then get an email from you requesting that they confirm their subscription.

Include a coupon offer when you send follow-up emails to your clients. One way to do this is to include a link to a page on your site that displays the offer and details. You can also remind them of the money they will save with your coupons.

Make sure your title is attention grabbing. Make sure you remember that your subject line is the first content your customers will read when they see your email in their inbox, so make it memorable. This will boost the effectiveness of your campaign and increase profits.

The odds that your email subscribers will be reading your messages on a mobile device, such as a smartphone, are going up every day. Such devices have just a fraction of the resolution of a standard computer monitor, so your messages will look quite different. Learn about the constraints, and test your emails on phone screens.

TIP! If your opt-in gives you birthday data, always send celebratory messages. You can easily configure your system to send a message of celebration out on the appropriate day.

It can be difficult to figure out an approach to get started in marketing with email, and this prevents many business from taking advantage of this powerful tool. Internet marketing through email can be an essential component of a successful business strategy. Hopefully this article will help you to develop a strategy for your own highly successful e-mail marketing campaign today.

To Your Success,

Dr. Spencer Rollins

Five questions that will be answered by UFC 155

The UFC's end-of-the-year cards are usually stacked. Despite injuries, UFC 155 is no different. It features intriguing bouts that will answer some burning questions.

Did a knee injury hold back Cain Velasquez the first time he fought Junior dos Santos? When the two first met up last November, Velasquez reportedly had a badly injured knee. He was knocked out in 64 seconds. This time a (seemingly) healthy Velasquez will get to show if he deserves the heavyweight belt.

Has Chris Leben returned to form, for really real this time? Since Leben was on the original "Ultimate Fighter," he has been a man who wrestled with his demons. Most recently, those demons took the form of a banned pain killer which resulted in a one-year suspension from the UFC. Against Derek Brunson, Leben can show he's again the man who knocked out Wanderlei Silva.

Can Tim Boetsch be the next guy to challenge Anderson Silva? Though his original bout with Chris Weidman was called off because of an injury to Weidman, Boetsch still has another opportunity to show he can beat up opponents. He wants a chance to beat up Silva,* and this bout with Costa Phillippou is an opportunity for Boetsch's fighting to shine.

Or should Alan Belcher be the man to take on Silva? It's been more than three years since Belcher lost a fight. His last four fights have been stoppage wins. An impressive win over Yushin Okami could put him in line to fight for the middleweight belt.*

Is Todd Duffee still the knockout artist who once graced the octagon? Back in 2009, Duffee knocked out Tim Hague in a mere seven seconds. After that, the hype train was running behind him full steam. It was derailed when Mike Russow came back to knock Duffee out in the third round of their bout. Duffee was cut from the UFC, and is getting another shot at the octagon on Saturday. He'll fight Philip De Fries on the Facebook preliminaries, and get a chance to show if he can still knock people out very quickly.

*Assuming the next middleweight belt is based on competitiveness and earning a title shot by fighting, not by calling opponents out. Considering what has happened recently in the UFC welterweight and light heavyweight divisions, there are no guarantees.

92% Amour

All Critics (91) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (84) | Rotten (7)

Amour might seem hardly the stuff of entertainment, yet the reason it has been acclaimed isn't mysterious. Confronting death, it studies life, closely and lovingly.

Because of its subject matter, and because of the actors, it's impossible to watch this film without being moved. But a martinet is running the show.

A compassionate, rigorously unsentimental masterwork from a director who doesn't normally truck in emotions like the one named in the title.

This is an unforgettable love story set at the close of day, as tragic and beautiful in its way as "Tristan und Isolde," and a portrait of the impossible beauty and fragility of life that will yield new experiences to every viewer and every viewing.

"Amour" is a perfectly made, tremendously involving film that, nonetheless, is very difficult to watch, particularly if you're past the midpoint in your life.

Intimate, admirable and elegant, it's, nevertheless, demanding, deliberate and depressing - about facing our own mortality.

A film so honest in dealing with end-of-life issues that its purity is a positive rebuke to all the maudlin movies on the subject.

Gains its power from grounding its characters' pain in something humanistic.

Profoundly moving, unflinchingly honest and tender with brave, emotionally raw performances by Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva.

Mundanely horrifying and extremely powerful.

The story behind the central tableau ... starts off completely mundane, shifts into a tale of pain and sadness, and ends on a note of horror mixed with tortured understanding.

If Haneke has any real interest in keeping art cinema alive, he should take some notes from the Queensbridge rapper Nas.

I am glad I saw it -- and hope I never see it again.
