  • HBO’s World Championship Boxing, Saturday at the Alamodome

    Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:28:54 +0000

    For former two-time world champion Jesse James Leija, this is the best fight night in San Antonio since Chávez-Whittaker in 1993. He’s right. This Saturday, the Alamodome will be a fight fan’s heaven. WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr (44-0-1, 31 KOs), the son of Mexican legend Julio César Chávez, meets top ranked Marco Antonio Rubio (53-5, 46 KOs), who has won nine straight fights, including eight by KO. WBC and WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (21-1, 18 KOs) meets former world champion Wifredo Vázquez Jr. (21-1, 18 KOs), the son of a Puerto Rican legend. These are two great fights. Donaire is one of the 10 best pound-for-pound boxers in the world and is a favorite to retain the crown, but Chávez-Rubio could go either way. The event will be televised live by HBO. Chávez is trained by Freddie Roach, the world’s top trainer (trainer of Manny Pacquiao, the world’s best boxer). True, these are two boxers in their prime (Donaire and Rubio), and two approaching it fast (Chávez and Vázquez), but there is no doubt that Saturday night’s big star will be Chávez Jr. He is the son of Julio César Chávez, the greatest Mexican fighter of [...]
  • Global warming to blame for Texas heat, drought, says NASA’s James Hansen

    Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:32:58 +0000

    NASA’s James Hansen has stepped ahead of most Texas climatologists by declaring in a draft paper that global warming is unequivocally to blame for Texas’ record-breaking temperatures that contributed to our worst one-year drought on record last year. Most Texas-based climatologists — including state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon — have so far only been willing to suggest that global warming played a part in the heat wave or that is was not likely the principle cause. However, Hansen’s paper (produced along with two colleagues from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and New York’s Sigma Space Partners, and now being circulated for comment from the scientific community) says the extreme heat waves that swept Texas and Oklahoma last year were caused by global warming, “because their likelihood was negligible prior to the recent rapid global warming.” Drawing on more than 50 years of Goddard air and land temperature data, the group concluded that the earth’s climate has been “loaded” by climate change propelling extreme temperature that would not have occurred if left solely to the earth’s natural climate variability.   Writes Elizabeth Grossman at Inside Climate News: Hansen has posted a draft of the new study, Perceptions of Climate Change: The [...]
  • Perry’s Texas approval drops after presidential run

    Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:37:14 +0000

    The new drop appears to be directly tied to Perry's failed presidential run, with all of it's 'Turkey is run by Islamic terrorists,' 'the American Revolution was fought in the 16th century,' and 'Oops' glory.
