A quick look through automotive history reveals that the 'bigger is better' horsepower of the late 60s had begun to transform into 'bigger is better' luxury appointments by the early 70s. Maybe it was the increasing age of new car buyers, maybe it was Detroit's need to make a profit on something besides performance in the face of increasing government regulations; or maybe it was just our culture's renewed emphasis on style during a decade that gave birth to phenomenon such as glam rock and disco. Whatever the case may be, cars like this 1970 Ford Galaxie 500 survivor combined the stump pulling torque of their muscle car forbearers with increased luxury and enough room to comfortably parade half of the neighborhood down Main Street. And today, with only 46,493 original miles on its odometer, this cool old cruiser is not only a reliable and exceptionally comfortable place to spend the summer sightseeing, it's also a vintage piece of Americana that will be welcome at virtually every classic car show in town. So, if you're looking for some vintage metal that's stylish, powerful and has a lot of history, who says you have to buy a cramped, high maintenance muscle car? This awesome Galaxie 500 will look just as cool rolling down the road, turn just as many heads at the local drive in and, thanks to a thorough shakedown by our RK Motors Charlotte service department, is ready to provide you with miles of carefree cruising!

Assembled at Ford's Chicago, Illinois manufacturing facility in May of 1970, this pristine Ford Galaxie 500 survivor was originally shipped to Paul Heuring Motors in Hobart, Indiana and sold to Ray Eggers of nearby Valparaiso, Indiana. Since that sunny summer day 42 years ago, it has led a pampered three owner life that, judging by its mostly original Green Metallic paint, was free of exposure to inclement weather, significant wet road driving and long-term outside storage. Today, the car is in overall outstanding condition displaying a glossy finish that is characterized by an excellent shine; and factory accurate panel alignment which creates surprisingly narrow gaps and solid closing doors.
If you take a close look at the racy profile of this Galaxie 500 SportsRoof, you can easily see how much it emulates the classic lines of the first generation Mustang. And that progression in the car's design only seemed logical as Ford's full-size heavy weight battled Chevrolet's Impala everywhere from the driveways of mature, near luxury buyers to the two lanes of thrill seeking back roads drag racers. At the front of the car, a straight, body-width aluminum grille hangs four pristine headlights at the sides of a modernist Ford emblem. Below that grille, a great looking chrome bumper props pristine chrome guards between clear, square parking lights; and at the top of that grille, a super long hood props a traditional Ford crown ornament on centered power dome sculpting. At the top of the car, fully tinted glass is framed in a combination of well-maintained original stainless, showroom fresh reproduction stainless and a like-new textured vinyl roof which is in excellent condition and shows no signs of tearing or cracking. And at the sides of the car, show quality stainless wheel lips complement great looking stainless rocker moldings, correct chrome rearview mirrors, traditional chrome door handles, and color-keyed bodyside moldings that are still fresh and pliable. At the back of the car, broad fenders flow into clear, chrome trimmed brake lights which ride above another factory fresh chrome bumper that is complete with matching chrome guards and clear, square reverse lamps. And a pristine "Galaxie 500" decklid emblem hangs above a straight, Galaxie 500 exclusive rear valence.
Providing the motivation for this all-business blue oval bruiser is a 390 cubic inch, numbers matching Ford FE 2-valve big block which, by 1970, pushed out 265 horsepower a whopping 390 ft./lb. of torque! Cast on May (E) 6th (6) of 1970 (0), and designed to go head to head with Chevrolet's less powerful 409, the 390 in this Galaxie's engine bay is factory fresh, highly original, and exceptionally clean. In fact, the only non-original pieces are a new Edelbrock aluminum intake, a new 4-barrel Edelbrock Performer carburetor and a nice set of blue MSD Heli-core plug wires. And if you're the kind of purist that demands all the right parts in all the right places, the car's original cast iron intake and 2-barrel carburetor ARE included with the sale. Naturally, corporate Ford Blue paint covers the big engine all the way from its single snorkel air cleaner to its original oil pan. All the major service items are in 100% functional condition, including the factory air conditioning. And the engine bay has excellent presentation throughout, featuring correct markings, correct decals and an incredibly tidy appearance that reflects the high level of care and maintenance this car received from day one. Jump in the driver's seat, turn the key and hit the road because this big Ford engine, from its stamped "Power by Ford" valve covers to its finned Spectre fuel filter, is fully sorted and ready for miles of carefree cruising!
For 1970, the Galaxie line was engineered with Ford's reliable and sturdy C6 3-speed automatic transmission and a traditional Ford nine inch rear end that's filled with mild 2.75 gears which provide effortless high-speed highway cruising. And this well optioned Galaxie 500 is still equipped with its original PGA-A4 tagged Select-Shift Cruise-O-Matic which means you can either let its smooth C6 take you down the road on its own or, if you're feeling spirited, row yourself through the gears via a built in manual mode. Trust me, you've never experienced highway cruising unless you've been in a car like this! With its smooth ride, huge torque band and smooth shifting transmission, this Galaxie is built for long highway trips and cross country adventures. Its undercarriage, like its engine bay, is clean, honest and certainly not to the point where anyone should be afraid to put this car either on the road or on a lift. The computer tuned boxed frame rolls a sturdy three link rear suspension, which is complete with freshened air shocks, aft of a good looking double A-arm front suspension which has been fitted with new shocks, new tie rod ends, new bushings and new ball joints courtesy of our first rate RK Motors Charlotte Service facility. Stops are provided by correct power front discs and rear drums. Turns come easily thanks to factory correct power steering. And exhaust is handled by a true dual system which pipes gases through two nice sounding turbo mufflers. Finishing this fully sorted undercarriage of is a set of fresh 235/70/15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As which spin classic Ford turbine hub caps that are complete with upscale maroon centers.
Take a look inside this Galaxie 500 and you'll find a plush and roomy interior which is as luxury oriented as any mainline automaker could manage in 1970. That means high quality knitted vinyl seats, thick loop pile nylon carpets, new-for-1970 Uni-lock seatbelts, and even a remote left hand mirror. The original front and rear bench seats are in excellent, unblemished condition showing little to no wear at all; and feature enough leg and elbow room to parade around you and your extended family. Below those seats like-new black carpet, which is protected by color-keyed mats, holds its color very well and certainly looks much more upscale than the squeaky rubber floor that would've been standard equipment just a few years earlier. At the sides of those seats, padded door panels hang fade-free wood applique above large armrests that are complete with chrome handles, and chrome window cranks which roll all four side windows down to create a true pillarless hard top. And above those seats, a black headliner, which is anchored by a chrome trimmed dome light, appears as fresh and tight as the day it rolled out of the showroom. In front of the driver, Ford's 'swept-away' dash, which centers all the car's instrumentation in a console-like, wood trimmed binnacle to provide maximum room for front passengers, displays no cracks or fading; and holds an original Philco AM radio above controls for the car's heat and air conditioning system, an original two-spoke steering wheel and a chrome transmission shifter. And behind the cockpit, a well-preserved trunk features an original mat, a correct jack and a full-size spare tire. It really is amazing how well this interior has been preserved; all plastics are in excellent, un-cracked condition and the wood appliques and silver trim throughout is sharp and lustrous with no sun damage.
Included with the sale of this awesome Galaxie 500 is two original dealer invoices, an original window sticker, an original title application, an original owner's manual, 1970 Ford dealer brochures, maintenance receipts, product information for the modern Edelbrock intake and carburetor, and the afore mentioned original intake and 2-barrel carburetor.
The 70s were a unique decade for America's automakers, and their products are an accurate reflection of that time period. Large and in charge, these cars combine the killer torque of the muscle car era with an upscale level of comfort and far-ranging spaciousness that has all but died out in today's automotive market. When it comes to maximizing the amount of car your money will buy, you simply can't go wrong with a big, 70s era Detroit cruiser. And this cool Galaxie 500 survivor is a stylish, comfortable, and reliable piece that will still command a lot of respect on the highway or at the local car show!

Student Engagement
A world renowned system of education, a policy driven support of innovation and technology and a culture of combining theoretical and industrial experience make Germany the ideal environment for promoting MIT's tradition of mens et manus, allowing students to bridge the divide between theory and practice while gaining experience in the field.
Each year 80-100 students intern at leading German companies, universities and research organizations. Projects are hands-on and student contributions can lead to patents, publications and new technologies. Students also have the opportunity to apply for teaching opportunities as part of the unique Global Teaching Labs program in Germany, where they are placed at German high schools to teach STEM subjects in January.
Faculty Connections
The MIT-Germany Seed Fund facilitates research collaborations between MIT faculty and their German counterparts. Launched in 2011, the fund has granted 20 projects with partners throughout Germany and has increased the visibility at MIT with outstanding German centers.
Lasting impact: Seed funded projects have led to larger scale grant support with the NIH, corporate sponsorship at German universities, peer-reviewed publications and increased post-doc exchanges.
German Industry and Research
Working with a robust and diverse portfolio, the program has contacts with hundreds of partners in nearly every corner of the country. While most organizations are interested in hosting MIT students for summer internships, teaching programs or recruiting for longer projects, other partners are interested in strengthening their presence at MIT and connecting with faculty and researchers on campus.

The 1960s sitcom Hogan's Heroes was wildly popular during its premiere run and continues to remain one of the most classic (not to mention utterly unique) comedy series in television history, despite a historically and morally questionable premise. Hogan's Heroes Season 5, like the other seasons, is set in a Nazi prison camp during World War II. These Hogan's Heroes DVDs follow a group of Allied POWs Englishman Peter Newkirk (a pre-Family Feud Richard Dawson), Frenchman Louis LeBeau (Robert Clary) and Americans Andrew Carter (Larry Hovis) and James Kinchloe (Ivan Dixon, one of the first African-American actors to get equal billing) led by the irrepressible Colonel Robert Hogan (Bob Crane) in their hilarious attempts to sabotage the Nazi war effort. Though these Hogan's Heroes videos are often mischaracterized as a tasteless gloss on the real-life horrors of Nazi Germany (the series was set in a prisoner-of-war camp rather than concentration camp), Hogan's Heroes was intended as parody and certainly pulled no punches in its unflattering depiction of idiotic Nazi officers such as the pompous Colonel Klink (Werner Klemperer), bumbling Sergeant Schultz (John Banner) and irascible General Burkhalter (Leon Askin). In fact, Klemperer, Banner and Askin were all Jewish and Clary was a Holocaust survivor. This Hogan's Heroes season five collection presents all 26 episodes of the controversial series' fifth season.
Buy Hogan's Heroes Season 5 DVDs for hours of laughter as Col. Hogan and the gang outwit their German captors, by blowing up bridges, factories and other spots from their headquarters beneath their POW barrack.

The earliest knives were shaped by knapping (percussive flaking) of rock, particularly harder rocks such as obsidian and flint. During the Paleolithic era Homo habilis likely made similar tools out of wood, bone, and similar highly perishable materials that have not survived. As recent as five thousand years ago, as advances in metallurgy progressed, stone, wood, and bone blades were gradually succeeded by copper, bronze, iron, and eventually steel. The first metal (copper) knives were symmetrical double edged daggers, which copied the earlier flint daggers. In Europe the first single edged knives appeared during the middle bronze age. These replaced daggers, which by that time had evolved into swords. Modern knives may be made from many different materials such as alloy tool steels, carbon fiber, ceramics, and titanium.There is a very active community of modern custom knife makers and collectors, who often pioneer the use of new materials in knives. In the United States, The American Bladesmith Society promotes forged blades; the Knifemakers Guild promotes all custom knives.
Modern knives consist of a blade (1) and handle (2). The blade edge can be plain or serrated or a combination of both. The handle, used to grip and manipulate the blade safely, may include the tang, a portion of the blade that extends into the handle. Knives are made with partial (extending part way into the handle) and full (extending the full length of the handle, often visible on top and bottom) tangs. The handle can also include a bolster, which is a piece of material used to balance the knife, usually brass or other metal, at the front of the handle where it meets the blade. The blade consists of the point (3), the end of the knife used for piercing, the edge (4), the cutting surface of the knife extending from the point to the heel, the grind (5), the cross-section shape of the blade, the spine, (6), the top, thicker portion of the blade, the fuller (7), the groove added to lighten the blade, and the ricasso (8), the thick portion of the blade joining the blade and the handle. The guard (9) is a barrier between the blade and the handle which protects the hand from an opponent, or the blade of the knife itself. A choil, where the blade is unsharpened and possibly indented as it meets the handle, may be used to prevent scratches to the handle when sharpening or as a forward-finger grip. The end of the handle, or butt (10), may allow a lanyard (11), used to secure the knife to the wrist, or a portion of the tang to protrude as a striking surface for pounding or glass breaking.
Knife blades can be manufactured from a variety of materials, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. Carbon steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, can be very sharp, hold its edge well, and remain easy to sharpen, but is vulnerable to rust and stains. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, possibly nickel, and molybdenum, with only a small amount of carbon. It is not able to take quite as sharp an edge as carbon steel, but is highly resistant to corrosion. High carbon stainless steel is stainless steel with a higher amount of carbon, intended to combine the best attributes of carbon steel and stainless steel. High carbon stainless steel blades do not discolor or stain, and maintain a sharp edge. Laminate blades use multiple metals to create a layered sandwich, combining the attributes of both. For example, a harder, more brittle steel may be sandwiched between an outer layer of softer, tougher, stainless steel to reduce vulnerability to corrosion. In this case, however, the part most affected by corrosion, the edge, is still vulnerable. Pattern-welding is similar to laminate construction. Layers of different steel types are welded together, but then the stock is manipulated to create patterns in the steel. Titanium is metal that is lighter, more wear resistant, and more flexible than steel. Although less hard and unable to take as sharp an edge, carbides in the titanium alloy allow them to be heat-treated to a sufficient hardness. Ceramic blades are incredibly hard, lightweight blades; so hard that they will maintain a sharp edge for months or years with no maintenance at all. They are immune to corrosion, but can only be sharpened on silicon carbide sandpaper and some grinding wheels. Plastic blades are not very sharp at all but are typically serrated, and are usually considered disposable.
Steel blades are commonly shaped by forging or stock removal. Forged blades are made by heating a single piece of steel, then shaping the metal while hot using a hammer or press. Stock removal blades are shaped by grinding and removing metal. With both methods, after shaping, the steel must be heat treated. This involves heating the steel above its critical point, then quenching the blade to harden it. After hardening, the blade is tempered to remove stresses and make the blade tougher. Mass manufactured kitchen cutlery uses both the forging and stock removal processes for their knife blades. Forging tends to be reserved for manufacturers' more expensive product lines, and can often be distinguished from stock removal product lines by the presence of an integral bolster, though integral bolsters can be crafted through either shaping method.
The edge of the knife can be sharpened to a cutting surface in a number of different ways. Flat ground blades have a profile that tapers from the thick spine to the sharp edge in a straight or convex line. Seen in cross section, the blade would form a long, thin triangle, or where the taper does not extend to the back of the blade, a long thin rectangle with one peaked side. Hollow ground blades have concave, beveled edges. The resulting blade has a thinner edge, so it may have better cutting ability for shallow cuts, but it is lighter and less durable than flat ground blades and will tend to bind in deep cuts. Serrated blade knives have a wavy, scalloped or saw-like blade. Serrated blades are more well suited for tasks that require aggressive 'sawing' motions, whereas plain edge blades are better suited for tasks that require push-through cuts (e.g., shaving, chopping).
Another prominent feature on many folding knives is the opening mechanism. Traditional pocket knives and Swiss Army Knives commonly employ the nail nick, while modern folding knives more often use a stud, hole, disk, or flipper located on the blade, all which have the benefit of allowing the user to open the knife with one hand.
Automatic or switchblade knives open using the stored energy from a spring that is released when the user presses a button or lever or other actuator built into the handle of the knife. Automatic knives are popular amongst law enforcement and military users for their ease of rapid deployment and their ability to be opened using only one hand. Automatic knives are severely restricted by law in most states.
Increasingly common are assisted opening knives which use springs to propel the blade once the user has moved it past a certain angle. These differ from automatic or switchblade knives in that the blade is not released by means of a button or catch on the handle; rather, the blade itself is the actuator. Most assisted openers use flippers as their opening mechanism. Assisted opening knives can be as fast or faster than automatic knives to deploy.
A sliding knife is a knife which can be opened by sliding the knife blade out the front of the handle. One method of opening is where the blade exits out the front of the handle point-first and then is locked into place (an example of the this is the gravity knife). Another form is a O-T-F (out-the-front) switchblade, which only requires the push of a button or spring to cause the blade to slide out of the handle, and lock into place. To retract the blade back into the handle, a release lever or button, usually the same control as to open, is pressed.
More exotic materials usually only seen on art or ceremonial knives include: Stone, bone, mammoth tooth, mammoth ivory, oosic (walrus penis bone), walrus tusk, antler (often called stag in a knife context), sheep horn, buffalo horn, teeth, etc. Almost any hard material can (and has been) employed as a knife handle.
A primary aspect of the knife as a tool includes dining, used either in food preparation or as cutlery. Examples of this include:
In Greece a black-handled knife placed under the pillow is used to keep away nightmares. As early as 1646 reference is made to a superstition of laying a knife across another piece of cutlery being a sign of witchcraft. A common belief is that if a knife is given as a gift, the relationship of the giver and recipient will be severed. Something such as a small coin is exchanged for the gift, rendering "payment."

Whelchel went to doctors who ran electrocardiograms (EKG) and ultrasounds but nothing ever turned up and he was often dismissed. Rapid heart rate — supraventricular tachycardia — was something the young man learned to adapt to. He even taught himself to "reset" his heart by doing vagal maneuvers (methods used to reset or slow the heart rate). "At the time, I didn't know that I was doing vagal maneuvers. I just was curious and aware of my body and was able to figure it out." Whelchel would hold his breath and bear down, or press on his carotid artery to reset himself. He would sometimes use ice on his face, chest or back to put his heart back into rhythm. click for more

About usu.edu
The current version of the Utah State University homepage and its 21 associated "audience and information" pages were launched in November 2010. It was designed by the Webmaster's Office within the Office of Public Relations and Marketing, with feedback and support from IT web developers and designers, students groups, and web managers. The maintenance of the pages is a shared effort between Public Relations and Marketing and many offices across campus.
The homepage is the central gateway of a larger visual identity system, which provides a common web template and graphic elements, with a goal of maintaining consistency across the central university website.
The pages are built around the standards of the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) HyperText Markup Language (HTML) 4.01 and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allowing for compatibility with assistive technologies (such as screen readers) and mobile devices.
These pages are designed to be viewed by all modern standards-compliant web browsers. 1024 x 768 pixels is the minimum recommended viewing size but 1280 x 1024 is recommended for optimal viewing.
Primary Goals of the Redesign:
- To bring the site into conformity with the most recent recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), adjust the pages to the more common screen sizes in use today (1024px is a minimum resolution in most cases), and comply with web standards and accessibility standards.
- To "refresh" the current look and feel with a cleaner and more aerated design.
- To improve navigation and information provided to prospective students and faculty. A series of "information portals" have been created to meet this goal. These portals should help better represent the opportunities and unique characteristics offered by Utah State University, its academic excellence and the quality of its campus life.
- To enhance the brand identity that was brought by the previous template and design. The template has been simplified but retains more layout options available to web managers. The new template will be deployed to all central administration websites to ensure consistency across the first levels of the university website.
- To better integrate dynamic content and multimedia such as photo galleries, videos, social media, university calendar and news, within the first levels of the website.
The University Homepage:
The Homepage is the primary page of a larger visual identity system, which provides common web templates and graphic elements to maintain consistency across all central administration sites. The university homepage focuses on the university news, events happening on campus, marketing messages and major university achievements. It also acts as a gateway to the USU websites by providing a relevant navigation to prospective and current students, faculty and other visitors.
Secondary Portal Pages:
A series of information and audience portal pages have been developed to help users discover USU and navigate to the relevant information.
Information Portals:

Terre Siciliane IGT
From the union between the Sicilian varietal Grillo and the international Viognier, native to the Rhone valley, comes a harmonious blend that expresses the sunlight and richness of Sicily.
This aromatic wine showcases the great oenological potential of Sicily that expresses elegantly fragrant aromas in its white wines. In this wine, Grillo brings intense, exotic tropical notes of mango intermingled with delicate notes of white flowers and stone fruits. Viognier flourishes in Sicily, expressing delicate notes of peach, apricot and citrus with a light hint of wildflowers and fresh honey. Behind these two components, there is a refined oak element with elegant notes of vanilla that respect the nuance of these varietals.
Grapes: 80% Grillo, 20% Viognier.
Grillo: Harvested in mid-September, destemming and soft pressing of 70% of the grapes, the other 30% undergoes maceration on the skins for 12 hrs at 10°C, decantation of the must at 12°C for 24 hours, addition of selected yeasts and fermentation at controlled temperature of 16°C for 10 days,
followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks.
Viognier: Harvested around the first week of September, destemming and soft pressing, decantation at 12°C for 24 hours, addition of selected yeasts and fermentation in 3 year old barriques with light toasting, maturation in oak for 8 months with periodic batonnage (resuspension of yeast).
Blend: After maturation, the wines are blended and then aged in stainless steel for an additional 4 months. Bottling is followed by 4 months of bottle refinement.
Color: Soft yellow with touches of green.
Bouquet: Intense nose of tropical fruit and jasmine unites with delicate notes of peach, apricot and citrus, accented by hints of wildflowers and fresh honey.
Flavor: Elegant, rich white with a powerful nose that is complemented by vanilla undertones.
Seafood appetizers, pasta dishes with fish or white meat, grilled fish and medium aged cheese.

Archive for the 'beastie boys' tag
Beastie Boys Co-Founder, Buddhism, and Islam
by Omid Safi
from Religion News Service (RNS)
If you are of a certain age (not gonna say it) and your impression of the Beastie Boys ends with "(You Gotta) Fight for the Right (to Party)", "Sabotage", or even "Intergalactic", you might not have been keeping with the evolution of the Beastie Boys from hip-hop punks in the early 80's to elder statesmen of the Hip-Hop world, converts to Buddhism, and defenders of the Tibetan cause. Adam Yauch, also known as MCA, was one of the co-founders of Beastie Boys.
Born to a Catholic dad and a Jewish mother, MCA eventually found his spiritual home after meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama in the 1990's. This is how he expressed his own spiritual yearnings:
The feeling I get from the rinpoches and His Holiness [the Dalai Lama] and Tibetan people in general. The people that I've met are really centered in the heart; they're coming from a real clear, compassionate place. And most of the teachings that I've read about almost seem set up to distract the other side of your brain in order to give your heart center a chance to open up. In terms of what I understand, Buddhism is like a manual to achieve enlightenment—there are these five things and these six things within the first thing, and all these little subdivisions. And despite all of that right-brain information, it's very heart-centered. At least that's the feeling I get from the Tibetans. Also the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism have been passed down for a long time now. They have that system pretty well figured out.
MCA's passing away was mourned by none other than His Holiness the Dalai Lama:
Adam had helped us raise awareness on the plight of the Tibetan people by organizing various freedom Tibet concerts and he will be remembered by his holiness and the Tibetan people.

The guy is legitimately 20-0 (if Hamill didn't puss out and quit that fight) and has beaten 5 former champions in Rua, Rampage, Machida, Belfort, & Evans. He's #1 and it isn't close in my book.
The guy is legitimately 20-0 (if Hamill didn't puss out and quit that fight) and has beaten 5 former champions in Rua, Rampage, Machida, Belfort, & Evans. He's #1 and it isn't close in my book.
Knockout power isn't regulated by a company or commission though. Chuck Liddell would still have massive KO power if the weight classes were a little different. I'm not saying anything against Bones at 205. If he can make the weight then great, he should be fighting there. I'm saying it's a good situation for him. He has the perfect body for that weight, and there would be a significant drop off if he changed weight classes. I view him as the mma weight class answer to a system qb. He'd do good anywhere because he is good, but the way things are set up only help him, and that catapults him into another level.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
Greatest LHW., you can't deny.
Most talented? Nope.
He relies strictly on length. And thats not considering the illegal/dirty strikes he does (elbow to the throat, oblique kicks). If he had a regular size advantage like say Silva or Gsp, or just was a regular sized lhw, he wouldn't be where he's at now.
Saturday we got a glimpse of what HW would look like for him.
The talk of Jones moving to HW always was premature. Jones does not have the skill-set yet to deal with larger opponents, nor does he have the level of experience necessary to have pinpoint accuracy. Jones is still young and will do best to stay at LHW until his body can no longer make the cut.
Cain or JDS would slay Jones. It's not fear that keeps Jones from moving up; it is rationality that keeps Jones at LHW. Why jump off a successful path while you still have avoidable obstacles in your way?
Last edited by Sniggles; 09-25-2013 at 06:45 PM.
As much as I dislike him, yes he is. I think a great deal of his success though is due to his massive size and reach advantage over everybody else. He's not the most skilled LHW fighter of all time, but with the success he's had you pretty much cannot argue that he's the most accomplished and dominant LHW fighter of all time.
Brown Pride
Ok, I can't stand Jones as much as the next guy but not to consider the guy the greatest LHW we have ever seen is ludicrous. Most have brought up his length advantage at the top of their argument list but this is a little convoluted since if that is all it took, then Gus should also be a monster in the division. Not taking anything away from Gus as he has looked really good as of late, but he has looked very average just as many times. Struve is another example of a guy that holds a significant height and length advantage over most anyone in his division but Mark Hunt disproved the notion that length is all it takes. While I do consider Jones' length a big factor, his athleticism, wrestling and muy thai are way above the average elite fighter. I guess my point is that he has a fantastic overall game that is going to be difficult to deal with for most anyone. I do look forward to the day that he meets his equal. I'm not sure that Gus is the guy. He put up a great fight on Saturday night but this is the first time that Jones has looked remotely challenged. Did Jones have an off night? Was it a fluke? I'll be rooting for Gus to smash Jones in their rematch but will not be surprised to see Jones dismantle another guy that we thought would finally make Jones look human.
I can't stand the useless dribble that comes out of Jones' mouth. He either sounds arrogant and conceded or he appears to be trying too hard to recite what was wrote for him by his management. Again, I can't stand the guy but I am not going to take anything away from him either. Just trying to be honest with myself and all of you.
After watching what someone with a chin and great tdd does coupled with striking, a prime Liddell would maul Jonny Boy.

Nick Callahan joined the Coker baseball staff as the pitching coach in August of 2013.
In his first year leading the Cobra pitchers, the staff posted an ERA of 4.07 with 190 strikeouts in 383 innings of work. The Cobras had the fourth best ERA in the South Atlantic Conference and they allowed the fewest number of walks (110) and the fewest number of runs (209).
Callahan came to Coker after three seasons at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He has worked primarily with the pitchers during his time with the Spartans, including in 2011 when the team earned the first NCAA Tournament berth in program history.
Under Callahan's tutelage in 2011, the CWRU pitching staff lowered its earned run average by .87 from the prior season while producing three University Athletic Association Athletes of the Week and an ABCA All-Mideast Region selection.
In addition to his duties at Case Western, Callahan served as the head coach of the Geneva Twins in the New York Collegiate Baseball League during the summer of 2013.
Prior to joining the staff at CWRU, Callahan served for two seasons as pitching coach and recruiting assistant at Finger Lakes Community College. During his time, the team won the Mid-State Athletic Conference Title.
As a player, Callahan pitched collegiately at Western Connecticut State University. As a freshman, he posted a 5-0 record with a 2.60 earned run average before seeing his career cut short due to injury.
Callahan earned a bachelor's degree in business management from SUNY-Brockport in 2007.

The 12th Annual C5/C6 Bash was the first event of the '08 season for the National Corvette Museum. It included seminars, an autocross, a benefit auction, drag racing, a "Celebrity Choice" car show, autograph sessions, an '09 Corvette preview, and a scenic road tour. In addition, owners had full access to the Customer Assistance Center, to obtain help with their C6 issues.
The two big stories at this year's Bash were the new ZR1 and the groundbreaking on a 47,000-square-foot addition to the NCM facility. The latter, held on Friday afternoon, was a hard-hat-only event, but commemorative hardhats were available for a donation of $30. A large crowd gathered as museum Executive Director Wendell Strode and other dignitaries made their opening remarks. Selected guests were given shovels, so at the appointed time they could participate in the official groundbreaking. After the ceremony was completed, the first I-beam for the addition was installed. The expansion will include a library, Corvette archives, a Corvette store, a museum-delivery area, a Hall of Fame, a conference center, offices, and a caf. Construction should be completed by early 2009.
Later, Team Corvette provided an in-depth engineering analysis of the ZR1. Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter put various parts on display during the technical portion of the seminar, including the car's carbon brakes, supercharger, intercoolers, and clutch. The highlight came when Juechter showed the audience a video taken in Europe of a production ZR1 topping 205 mph. He also took the opportunity to announce the official output figures for the LS9 engine: 638 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque.
The team also brought along two ZR1 prototypes for attendees to inspect. One was the blue Barrett-Jackson car used in the million-dollar auction, and the second was a yellow prototype. Juechter gave one lucky Vette fan a thrill ride in the Barrett-Jackson car after he paid $1,650 at the NCM auction for the privilege.
In addition to the two ZR1s, a group of '09 base cars and Z06s were displayed in front of the museum. These included Cyber Gray Z06 and convertible models, along with a Blade Silver Metallic coupe. The former provided a chance to inspect that model's new wheels, which were first seen on the '08 427 Limited Edition. The Z06 and the convertible also featured the new Ebony/Titanium premium interior.
Other new-for-'09 upgrades include a steering-wheel-activated Bluetooth phone option with hands-free operation. Additionally, all Corvette flag badging will now feature chrome surrounds. The steering system has once again been revised to provide more-aggressive response at low speeds by requiring fewer turns lock-to-lock. It's also been tweaked to require less input to keep the car on center, a trait that reportedly improves high-speed stability.
As reported previously, the Corvette-plant management team has also undergone a notable change. After 15 years at the helm, Plant Manager Wil Cooksey retired at the beginning of 2008. Twenty-five-year GM veteran Paul Graham was appointed to replace him. We had a chance to interview Graham at the Bash and will share what we learned in an upcoming issue.
As for Cooksey, the NCM hosted a formal retirement dinner for him and his wife, Liz, Friday night. The well-attended event was a fitting tribute to a man who capably oversaw the Corvette-production process during an important period in the car's history.
