Dana White, President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), made some very surprising comments regarding the boxing battle between network giants HBO and Showtime.
In 2012, White had a bad falling out with Showtime over their business relationship connected to UFC's Strikeforce brand.
During the post-fight press conference to UFC's pay-per-view event on Saturday night, White discussed the split with Showtime and now believes the network moved away from MMA in order to place those budgetary funds into boxing.
Not long after Showtime completely backed away from Mixed Martial Arts, they closed an exclusive multi-year deal with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Because of the past friction between White and Showtime, it was certainly surprising to hear him praise the network.
For the moment, White believes Showtime is producing the better boxing product on their network. He caught portions of both televised shows on Saturday night and felt the Showtime broadcast was superior.
"I'm not the biggest Showtime fan on Earth, but I'll tell you what - Showtime blew HBO out of the water tonight," White stated when speaking with Bleacher Report. "With the presentation and all the things that they did, I never thought I'd see the day where I would say Showtime is actually looking better than HBO. It's crazy."
"I think they didn't want to be in business with us. Now that I look at it and see what they're doing - their plan was to take over boxing. Their plan was to get everybody that they could get away from HBO into Showtime and they're kicking HBO's ass right now."

Edward Kelsey Moore brings musical viewpoint to novel of 3 women
'Supremes at Earl's' author to speak at Delta fundraiser
As this year's speaker at the Delta Memorial Endowment Fund's annual literary luncheon Saturday, debut novelist Edward Kelsey Moore joins a Delta roster that includes such illustrious names as Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Octavia Butler, E. Lynn Harris and Tayari Jones. He's a bit humbled by that.
"I can't believe I'm on the list with some of the authors," Moore said in a telephone interview.
Moore has enjoyed a surprising whirlwind of attention for "The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can- Eat," an engaging and often humorous tale of three grown-up female friends who rely on one another to get through some troubles in Plainview, Ind.
It's the kind of the book that's tailor-made for book clubs, but it's far from generic: Moore's supporting cast includes the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Some of Moore's distinctiveness may come from his unusual path to authorship. He's a professional cellist who didn't begin writing this novel until he was 48.
Growing up in a large extended family with many aunts and female cousins, he loved to listen to the women around him. "I love the way that they talked to each other, a rhythm those conversations had," Moore said.
But he quickly added: "I didn't use their actual stories in the book. They would never speak to me again."
Of all the benefits that have flowed from having a successful first novel, Moore said, he's most grateful when women who've read "The Supremes" tell him that he got the way women relate to each other correct.
Noting that he doesn't have a formal writing education, Moore said he looked to musical forms to structure his novel. "Each (main) character's arc is essentially sonata form," he said.
Being an aural person, Moore said he actually speaks his first drafts into a recorder. I asked this musician-writer to tell me, "Peter and the Wolf" style, which instruments he'd use to represent his three heroines.
"Clarice (a former concert pianist) would have to be a piano," he said. "I think Barbara Jean is maybe a viola." As for the outspoken, and occasionally otherworldly, Odette, he first thought of baritone sax — capable of being both romantic and harsh — but changed his mind: "I take that back. She's a trumpet."
As far as reading goes, "My favorite I always say is 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison, but the book I reread most often is (Morrison's) 'Sula.'" He also praises Mat Johnson's "Pym" and Ann Patchett.
"I love Carl Hiassen, I think he's hilarious. I look forward to every book."
He also praises Edward P. Jones, author of the remarkable novel "The Known World."
"I get very flattered when people screw up my name and call me Edward Kelsey Jones," he said with a laugh.
Moore is writing a new novel featuring the same three women; he thinks it will be called "The Happy Heartbreak Blues." There's no publication date scheduled yet, but he hopes to finish writing this summer.
The Delta Memorial Endowment Fund raises money for nonprofits organizations and helps fund college scholarships for graduating high school seniors. To check on available tickets for this year's luncheon, call (414) 339-3070 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rayne family welcomes exchange student for two-month stay
By LIsa Soileaux, Assistant Editor, Rayne Acadian-Tribune
The family of Mark and Michelle Veillon includes five children. But, as of October 12th, the Veillon family expanded by one.
Diego Armando Enriquez, a 12-year-old from Guatamala City, Guatamala, has become part of the Veillon family as he is enjoying a two-month stay in south-central Louisiana.
"He just fit right in, both good and bad," laughed Michelle Veillon of their young guest. "When he arrived it was the weekend of a big family gathering. He got right in there and visited with everyone and fit right in. From the looks of his first day, you thought he was a Cajun as he hugged and spoke to everyone he met like we do down here."
During Diego's stay, he is attending Rayne Catholic Elementary where two of the five Veillon children are students. He shares the class schedule of 8th grader Will, and has even participated in the school's recently completed football season.
"I liked football," noted Diego of his school activities. "Basketball is OK, but football was fun."
Diego has also fit right in when it comes to his classroom studies. "He is doing well with his school subjects, too," commented Michelle. "Language gets in the way sometimes, but he's doing well, expecially in math."
He has also enjoyed participating in the school's "Buddy Program" in addition to church activities at St. Joseph Catholic Church.
Presently, he is busy with his science fair project for school, "Atomic Reactor."
Commenting on his free time, Diego's favorite activity is "outside" as he enjoys the neighborhood tree house with Will and little brother Max, and playing football with all the neighborhood kids.
"I like to play football with everyone around here," he stated. "Where I live, in the city, we can't do that. It's really fun to have a lot of people to play games with."
He has also attended a number of events and programs during his stay, in addition to spending time with other exchange students in the area at this time.
Diego's visit was made possible through the Catholic Student Exchange with the Lafayette Diocese, as explained by Michelle. "Actually, I learned of the program through a friend and everything just fell into place after that. It has been a great experience not only for me and my husband, but the kids too."
When commenting on adjustments of his stay, the family noted the spicy food. "At first, he had trouble with foods that had very little spice that was kinda bland to us," noted MIchelle of the family's regular menu. "Now, he loves the extra kick of spice we love here in Cajun country."
Another adjustment for Diego was being part of a large family. The Veillon family has five children and Diego is an only child -- what a stretch -- but, he has adjusted well and likes Rayne.
"I feel safe all the time here," he noted. "I live in a big city and it is filled with strangers. It is nice to be in a small city and in a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone. I think Rayne is a happy place to live."
Diego completes his two-month stay for Christmas when he will fly over to California to reunite with his mother where they will visit with his grandparents.

Skip to comments.Battleship to become L.A.'s newest museum [USS Iowa]
Posted on 06/22/2012 11:48:52 AM PDT by smokingfrog
The USS Iowa, one of the last battleships ever built, will open July 7 as a museum in Los Angeles Harbor. Advance tickets are on sale for tours of the ship, which served on and off from World War II to 1990.
The 900-foot battleship with 16-inch guns was towed recently from Vallejo, on San Francisco Bay, to Los Angeles. It is the last of the four Iowa-class battleships to find a permanent home after years as part of "the mothball fleet."
he Iowa will be operated by the nonprofit Pacific Battleship Center, which will begin offering tours July 7 even as the ship is being renovated. Such work may continue for years to make more of the ship available to tour groups.
The Iowa's new home will offer 41/2 acres of parking space in North America's busiest seaport, adjacent to the World Cruise Center, where cruise ships dock and flocks of tourists could tour the Iowa.
"Our focus for our museum will be on the history of the battleships, not only the Iowa being the ultimate in design, but we'll be focusing from the very beginnings" of the massive vessels, Kent told the Associated Press.
(Excerpt) Read more at ocregister.com ...
Also, very nearby is a 16" barrel from the USS Wisconsin. The barrel is located by the San Pedro Maritime Museum at the intersection of Sixth Street and Harbor Boulevard. It is on display right by the sidewalk and a couple of naval memorials. (They put metal crossbars in the barrel so that kids could not crawl in and get caught inside!)
There is also a Liberty ship you can take a tour on and you can also see the prow of the USS San Pedro (outside the museum).
I have seen that 16" gun. It is an astounding piece of metal!
"...very nearby is a 16 barrel from the USS Wisconsin."
Depending on who was in charge of placing that thing, it might be fun to calculate the trajectory of a hypothetical shell that might be fired from it, and see if there's any particular point of interest at what would be the target.
IMHO the most beautiful warship ever created.
I took my little 18 ft Chapparel out to see her when they towed her into LA harbor. She looks great. The volunteers did a great job, in very short order, to tidy her up.
I can post a few pictures this afternoon.
I should know how to spell the name of my boat lol. Chaparral!
Anyone seeing the photo of that broadside..here's what always fascinated me. At "battlespeed", a broadside of those 16" rifles actually pushed that gigantic steel monster a few feet in the opposite direction.
I asked a Fire Control Chief once as to the accuracy of those giant guns. His serious reply..
"If you are in a rubber raft 9 miles away, give them a free shot at you. Before they reload and re-fire.....learn to fly."
I will never forget sitting out on the forcastle after work, listenin to tunes. It was the best of times. Watchin dolphins swimming two feet in front of the ship was pretty cool too.
I took one very good pic of the guns firing, but I never have figured out how to post pics here.
Is it just me or is the force of all the main guns going off pushing the ship to port?(notice wake at bow)
Chuckling, and shaking my head as I see the powerful recoil effect in the sideways wake of the vessel. I see they are shooting to port, and the ship is leaving "wake" as it is recoiling to the port.
Having the U. S. S. Iowa will be great, but I would have loved it more if it were the U. S. S. Missouri.
Actually, they are shooting to the starboard side.
They put the Missouri next to the Arizona, the two ships representing the beginning and end of WWII (Arizona was sunk in the sneak attack which began the war, the surrender that ended the war was signed on the deck of the Missouri).
Which begs the question: where are Wisconsin and New Jersey, the other two battleships? Scrapped?
Would love to see some pictures of your Chapparel. Post some pictures of the Iowa too while your at it. ;)
Yes. I knew that. I screwed it up, because I had it originally written as starboard, but somehow I changed it to port while editing it prior to posting I guess....SHEESH!
OH Well!
The libs in CA will probably convert it to a food pantry and homeless shelter.
".....Which begs the question: where are Wisconsin and New Jersey, the other two battleships? Scrapped?"
Wisconsin is on display at Norfolk and the New Jersey is at Camden, NJ.
Wife and I toured the Missouri at Pearl Harbor two years ago. The mighty ship had just been in dry dock and sported fresh paint everywhere.
The dining area was set with the ship's china and looked as if the officers were just minutes away from sitting down for chow.
Hey, I'm envious. That sounds like a great tour bud.
My dad boarded the Missouri during WWII within weeks after Japan surrendered on deck. He was headed for the stores location.
Rifles are not large caliber crew served weapons. Guns are.
Funny thing is that I grew up in a Navy home (was Army personally), worked in the harbor in Container Vessel Operations Shoreside Service Contracting for various Containership Vessel operators most of my working days (now retired), know bow from stern, port from starboard, and I still screwed it up.
San Francisco Shuns Retired USS Iowa
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a former San Francisco mayor, helped secure $3 million to tow the Iowa from Rhode Island to the Bay Area in 2001 in hopes of making touristy Fisherman's Wharf its new home.
But city supervisors voted 8-3 last month to oppose taking in the ship, citing local opposition to the Iraq war and the military's stance on gays, among other things.
"If I was going to commit any kind of money in recognition of war, then it should be toward peace, given what our war is in Iraq right now," Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi said.
Oh, and you may be wondering where he is now.
"Sheriff Mirkarimi Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanor":
"San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi pleaded guilty today to a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment in connection with an incident in which he allegedly inflicted a bruise on his wife."
Yes, he was actually elected sheriff last year. He is now suspended (and going through a process that may remove him from office) but is still enjoying some local support--to none of my surprise. Who needs the USS Iowa when you already have a peacefully progressive wifebeater for a sheriff?
They'd better berth her in a fresh water caisson or the salt water will cause problems in a few years. The USS Texas is in a brackish water area and she's having serious corrosion problems.
I think the New Jersey is in Philiadelphia harbor.
SF loss - LA gains
First, you probably only have a picture on paper - that has to be scanned on your printer (hopefully has scan capability) and the result of the scan saved to your computer as a .jpg image (yeah, there are some 30 or more types of images - but, stick with saving it as a .jpg image - USS_IOWA-1.jpg, etc.
diverteach is right - you then have to upload that image somewhere others can then get to it. You may not have that now, and setting it up can always be a bit of a pain. For now though, I'll help with that, if you want. Email the .jpg to me (firstname.lastname@example.com) - once you have created it - I'll put it on my 'server' so you can post here, by pointing to it.
That isn't really difficult... use code that looks like the following, which points to a picture in the directory that I would put yours in - the difference is this points to a picture already in that directory, and provides a 'named link' to it:
< a href="http://www.anyold.com/FR/Ron's_'office'.jpg" > Ron's Office </a >
The following is the result of actually typing that code into this post:
To have the picture display in the post - without a named link, you would use the following code (without the space between the less-than and greater-than brackets)- and of course with the actual picture-file name:
< center > < img src="http://www.anyold.com/FR/Ron's_'office'.jpg" > < /center>
Let me know if you would like to do this... it really isn't that hard, and I'll help - and/or you can send FReepmail if you have questions.
Back in '84 the plan was to have the Iowa homeported in NYC. A new pier was to be built, millions and millions spent on upgrades to the area.
Then the city politicians and protestors got involved. They raised all kinds of crap about the Iowa being in NYC because she carried, or possibly carried, nuclear weapons.
The NYC homeport idea was eventually scrapped and the Iowa was homeported in Norfolk.
I wonder how much free cash NYC lost on that deal...
A short tour of BB-62 New Jersey

Funny thing, in that pic there is a Signalman, doing his thing. Our Navy no longer has Signalmen, sadly.
I wasn't one but I did learn how to signal "U R A ****head" to signalmen on other ships when the occassion presented itself.
They were normally not amused.
Wisconsin is in Virginia and New Jersey is on the Jersey side of the Delaware near Philly.
I have a neighbor who worked on the gun barrels for these battleships back in the fifties as a young machinist apprentice. Here is what he described to me in an email about working on these 16" gun barrels:
"I worked at The Naval Gun Factory in DC during my machinist apprentice in 1955 to 1959. During my program I spent 6 months in the Big Gun Shop. Part of what we did in that shop, was we would work on the 16 inchers, and that was to remove the spent gun liner, then machine and install a new liner in the old gun barrel. There was a big vertical oven to expand the gun barrel, the old liner was chilled using the water from the river, and extracted using a hydraulic pressure. The liner had a slight negative angle machined on the outside as did the inside of the gun barrel to insure the liner did not slide out during firing. We then lowered the new liner coated with white lead into the heat expanded barrel, then filled it with cold water. Then with a hydraulic press that was attached on top of the ass'y the gun was brought back to room temp. The whole ass'y weighed 90 tons, but I forget the length.
Another one of my tasks, was to machine the new liner on an enormous lathe that had a carriage that you rode on, while machining it. I forget how many feet you traveled during an 8 hour shift. The biggest problem was keeping the oil cups full. The chips came off looking like auto front coil springs that were blue from the heat. Have a lot of great memories from my experiences at WNY. "
Imagine a lathe big enough to ride on!
I spent a couple of nights on that as a boy scout, the week after the turret blew up. It was so much fun to hang out with the sailors.

ABA Journal - Anyone looking to start a tech company in the city can get bread-and-butter legal advice from either the Cardozo Law Tech Startup Clinic or the Brooklyn Law Incubator and Policy Clinic.
Tech Startup Clinic Featured in ABA Journal: New York's Attorney General and Law Clinics Aid Entrepreneurs
The Crime Report - Katharine Tinto, a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law who has written extensively on fake stash-house stings, believes the accumulating case law used to defeat outrageous conduct motions threatens the due process protections guaranteed under the Constitution.
The New York Times - "They're all eligible," said Leslie Salzman, a clinical professor at the Cardozo School of Law. The school's Bet Tzedek Legal Services Clinic is suing the city along with JASA Legal Services for the Elderly in Queens and Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation Legal Services.
Cardozo's Tech Startup Clinic Aids Startup Featured in Fast Company: BuyMeBy Saves Food From the Landfill With Discounts as Expiration Dates Loom
Fast Company - New Yorker Carlos de Santiago already has a plan to prevent food from going to waste. It doesn't require a law, and it could even save you money. De Santiago and four colleagues are developing an online service, called BuyMeBy, which allows stores to publish discounts on items that are approaching their expiration date.
On World Refugee Day, Cardozo's Pro Bono Advocacy Program Continues to Engage with Advocacy Issues that Impact Refugees and Migrants

Nomadic Depressive: Road notes from the Yawpers' Nate Cook
This is the first in a series of guest columns by The Yawpers' Nate Cook. The Yawpers recently released their sophomore LP on well-known indie label Bloodshot Records.
This is the first in a series of guest columns by The Yawpers' Nate Cook. The Yawpers recently released their sophomore LP on well-known indie label Bloodshot Records.
Boulder's favorite party band is all grown up. The Yawpers' "American Man" marks the band's debut for Bloodshot Records, foster home to fellow dusty-collared outfits like Split Lip Rayfield and Justin Townes Earle.
Fall is a fickle season. It starts so quaintly--hoodies, crisp evenings, leaves turning colors that inspire you to fill your status updates with terrible poetry.
Do you like ice cold beer and good old-fashioned, honest American rock music? Well I've got good news for you, friend: The Yawpers are playing the Hi-Dive on Nov.
Well well well. Looky who's in Rolling Stone this week (no, not you again, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats). Denver cow-kickers The Yawpers debuted new track "Burdens" today, heralding it with a nice little piece on Rolling Stone Country.
In the history of album titles, it's pretty hard to get more patriotic than the upcoming release from Denver's the Yawpers. "American Man" is as red, white and blue as Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign hat.
Now that we're in the home stretch to The UMS, we have what you'll need to get you through the next week. The UMS has released the next three videos in their Denver Sounds series, which includes performances from The Yawpers, Kitty Crimes and Jilly FM.
Nate Cook leans against the front entrance of Rockmount Ranch Wear in downtown Denver drinking a warm PBR tall boy to take the edge off his hangover.
Colorado rock act the Yawpers matched well with Nashville Pussy at the Marquis Theatre on Sunday. Both bands growl about living fast into whiskey soaked microphones year-in and year-out.
By Ashley Dean, Laura Keeney, Matt Miller, John Wenzel and Francie Swidler For 14 going on 15 years, Film on the Rocks has had the honor and privilege of matching some of our top Colorado bands with our favorite cult classic moves for summer nights at the amphitheater.
It's never too early to start making your South By Southwest plans, and to kick of the season of RSVPing to parties, Reverb, OpenAir and SpokesBUZZ are proud to announce the Colorado Music Party.
As we near the end of 2013, Reverb takes a look back at some of the bands that have started to make waves in the Denver scene this year.
Of all the days to day drink, Monday is probably best. Sure, lots of folks celebrate Sunday Funday, but Monday Funday is reserved for the service industry and drinking professionals.
Topping our picks of best Colorado shows this week are Fiona Apple Junip and more. We'll be seeing you there, and if you don't make it out, follow the music musings on our Twitter @RVRB and our selfies on Instagram @heyreverb.
As Gov. John Hickenlooper introduced Denver band and Underground Music Showcase headliner Born in the Flood on Sunday, it became clear that this year's festival was out to prove something.
Friday night brought blistering performances up and down South Broadway. Here are some videos of the Yawpers, Common Anomaly, Mudhoney, Dudebabes and more. Watch them all below, and be sure to follow all of our live updates at #UMS2013.
Well, it turns out we were right about lines at UMS 2013. Lines at 3 Kings Tavern, lines at Illegal Pete's, lines at the Irish Rover, lines to see the Zebroids spray the mosh pit with a black and white striped beer bong, dressed as their namesake at the Hi-Dive at 1 a.m.
Friday's UMS started with a bang at 6 p.m. as a packed Hi-Dive enjoyed a set from Dudebabes, a "fun punk" band (as Denver drummer Rob Burleson would say) that featured former members of the Legendary River Drifters plying a wide range of sleazy guitar rock from behind fake mustaches and taco bikinis.
View New UMS Venues in a larger map Underground Music Showcase veterans will be pleased to know that this year gives them even more (seven more to be exact) places to explore at the annual fest.
The current buzz behind Denver bands like the Lumineers and Churchill is beginning to characterize Denver's scene as a kind of folksy wellspring. With this sound becoming the forefront of popular music, expect to see many bands — especially here in Colorado — ride that buzz.
The season of politicians accusing one another of lying and stealing is almost over. But the stealing lives on. This week, download a new single from rock duo In the Whale and ethno-electronic Men In Burka.
The hottest summer on record in Colorado is now kneeling down and surrendering to the temperate cool of fall, but we're keeping things sizzling here at Steal This Track.
Joshua Trinidad is to the trumpet as a young boy is to "Call of Duty" -- inseparable without the other and masters of their domain.
The hills (and mountains) around Denver have always been alive with the sound of music, from Red Rocks to Telluride, Lyons to Breckenridge. But never before has the city been this alive with live music.
Here at Reverb, we know how difficult it can be to shake off that turkey coma and return to work today. Steal This Track is here to help you kickstart your Monday with a free download of fresh Colorado music.

'Lone Ranger' returns, surprisingly, to thrilling entertainment like yesteryear
How subversive of Disney to release during the Fourth of July holiday a comedy action film that is in part about the American Indian genocide.
Those who go to "The Lone Ranger" because it stars Johnny Depp will come away satisfied by a performance that reminds them of his "Pirates of the Caribbean" character. And the film contains elements — silver bullet and "William Tell Overture" included — familiar from the TV series and, before that, radio show. »Read Full Article

Quasimondo struggles with Lovecraft homage 'Love & Cthulhu'
Stephen King once toyed with writing a story about traveling inside the pillow on which H.P. Lovecraft laid his head each night, en route to creating the nightmarish tales that King rightly describes as "uniquely terrible in all of American literature."
Daunted and even frightened by such an assignment, King never did it, concluding that the idea of trying to "put all that into a story" would be "ludicrous." »Read Full Article

Money, Capital And Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The authors explore how the informational frictions underlying monetary exchange affect international exchange rate dynamics. Using a two-country, two-sector model, they show that information frictions imply a particular restriction on domestic price dynamics and hence on international nominal and real exchange rate determination. Furthermore, if capital is utilized as a factor of production in both production sectors, then there is a further restriction on asset pricing relations (money and capital). As a result, monetary and real outcomes become interdependent in the model. Their perfectly flexible price model is capable of producing endogenously rigid international relative prices in response to technology and monetary shocks.

2004 Ford Mustang Convertible Deluxe 2dr Convertible (3.8L 6cyl 5M)
We had a choice between a few beautiful 'stangs and bought this '04 40th anniversary edition. Fully loaded with a Mach stereo system. I upgraded the air filter, plugs and oil which made a major difference. I run at least 25-28 mpg, even going 80+mph. It handles very well, drove through a wy. winter storm and stuck to the road. Gotta love my 3.9L!
The way the car makes you feel like your one with it. The Mach stereo system is a blast with the top down
Driving lights would be the only thing that would have made it complete
The 2004 Anniversary Convertible is the way to go to celebrate your mid life crisis. The styling is sleek and the sonic blue is a classly color with twin 10" silver bumper to bumper stripes. The V-6 has more than enough power and the automatic shifts extremely smooth. The convertible top is quiet at highway speeds and is so simple to raise and lower. The bucket seats are firm and there is enough leg room and head room. Forget about the back seats being comfortable, they are there for looks only, not for carrying passengers. But, heck, the Stang is for having fun for two. The interior is well designed and controls are easy to reach and use. The fit and finsh is better than some more expense car
The styling and looks and the convertible top.
The cruise control needs a light on the dash like the 2005 Stangs have.
I've had this car for 2 years and it's amazing. It's everything you'd expect from 6 cylinders and a little more. And it turns heads everywhere I go!
The quickness of the automatic convertible roof. The sound system is amazing for a stock system. I've had good experiences with brakes and tires.
With the rush to get the new 2005 Mustangs, smart buyers bought the 2004 models at tremendous savings. The convertibles were well built cars with no leftover kinks from prior years. The performance for the 3.9L 6 cylinder is more than adequate and if you don't constantly 'floor it' the gas mileage is outstanding. We were able to obtain 25+ mpg combined city/highway on a 3900 mile vacation. Incredible! If you are in the market for a used nice looking sports car convertible, do not hesitate to buy a LOW mileage adult driven model. The price should be right with everyone else wanting the 'new' styles. No disappointments, and with gas so high, you can basically have it all with this model.
Easy to operate convertible top. No leaks and the wind noise is minimal. Handling is superb with the Goodyear Eagles. The 6 CD Mach 1 music system is the best! The fuel economy was already noted as excellent. The 'Pony Package' is really something to look for. Just delightful cosmetic upgrades.
None. Unbelievable 'bang for the buck'. No need for complaints at the price this car can be obtained for. No trips to the Ford dealer other than oil changes.
At 6'7" leg room is a must and this Mustang delivers mucho leg room. Getting 30 miles to the gallon.
Looks sharp, fun to drive.
Maybe just a little more room in trunk.

More than three quarters of the American public accepts the reality of global climate change, according to a new poll. In the latest University of Texas at Austin Energy poll (PDF), 76% of respondents agreed that global climate change is occurring, while 14% disagreed and 10% were not sure.
Observing that "[m]isinformation about climate change is distressingly common in the United States," The New York Times called for teaching students about climate change in its October 10, 2015, editorial.
"Using responses from nearly 700 biophysical scientists," a new survey "finds that approximately 92 percent of them believe that human-caused climate change is really happening," according to the Washington Post (September 25, 2015), reporting on J. S. Carlton, Rebecca Perry-Hill, Matthew Huber, and Linda S. Prokopy's "The climate change consensus extends beyond climate scientists," published in Environmental Research Letters.
A new poll on public attitudes toward Pope Francis's encyclical on climate change included questions on the occurrence of climate change itself. Asked "Do you think that global warming is happening, or do you think global warming is not happening?" 69% of respondents said yes, 16% said no, 15% said that they were not sure, and 1% skipped or refused to answer the question.
A new poll of Latinos in the United States finds that a large majority — more than four fifths — accept that climate change is real, and that a majority — almost two thirds — accept that climate change is mostly due to human activity.
When the United States Senate passed the Every Child Achieves Act of 2015 on July 16, 2015, a proposed resolution acknowledging the scientific evidence for climate change and affirming the importance of climate science education was not included.
Two of the three amendments concerning climate change education under consideration are out of commission as the United States Senate continues to discuss a bill to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Climate change education is suddenly under discussion in the United States Senate, the National Journal (July 9, 2015) reports, with the introduction of dueling amendments to a bill to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
Prompted by the release of the movie Jurassic World, a new poll from YouGov indicates that Americans are about evenly split on the question of whether dinosaurs and humans lived on the planet at the same time.
Richard Blumenthal
Senate Resolution 66 (PDF), introduced in the United States Senate on February 4, 2015, would, if passed, express the Senate's support of designating February 12, 2015, as Darwin Day, and its recognition of "Charles Darwin as a worthy symbol on which to celebrate the achievements of reason, science, and the advancement of human knowledge."

In announcing the award winner, CDS President George Zehak said Dr. Tanaka "was selected among all of the people out there for his wonderful contribution to the profession."
The award acknowledges the recipient's outstanding contributions to the dental profession and the Midwinter Meeting.
"What do you think it really takes to do these lectures?" Dr. Gordon Christensen asked the crowd who attended Dr. Tanaka's lecture. "How many hours do you think Terry has put together to (organize) this program? Well, it's years and years of experience."
Dr. Tanaka maintains a private practice in prosthodontics and orofacial pain in Chula Vista, CA. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain; the director of research for the Clinical Research Foundation; and a member of the Pacific Coast Society of Prosthodontists, American Academy of Restorative Dentistry, American Academy of Orofacial Pain, and the American Equilibration Society.
Dr. Tanaka is recognized internationally for his anatomical dissections of the head, neck and TMJ, is a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry, and has published numerous articles. He holds Fellowships in the American College of Dentists, Academy of Dentistry International, and International College of Dentists.
His humanitarian work includes treating children with craniofacial deformities for which he has been recognized by many national and international organizations including the ADA, AGD, American College of Dentists, Academy of Dentistry International and Rotary International.
The Chicago Dental Society Communications Committee has awarded its 2016 George H. Cushing Award to Mark J. Humenik, DDS, of Northbrook.
The award, given to an individual recognized by the committee for efforts to raise public awareness of the importance of oral health, was presented to Dr. Humenik on the opening day of the CDS Midwinter Meeting.
"I am deeply honored to accept this award on behalf of all of my colleagues who actively address access to care challenges and make a difference in the lives of the underserved," said Dr. Humenik. "It is humbling for me to be recognized by the CDS Communications Committee – a committee on which I have served, supported, and whose members and initiatives I believe in so strongly.
Dr. Humenik has participated in more than 25 Missions of Mercy across the country, CURE Network events, and other clinics.
Dr. Humenik received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry.
"I have grown personally and spiritually with every volunteer experience," he said. "My greatest joy is knowing that we not only care for the physical needs of our patients, but also give them back their dignity and, most importantly, hope."
The CDS Foundation honored Dr. Yihsiung Huang with the 2015 Vision Award, honoring outstanding volunteer achievement.
A graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, Dr. Huang is a CDS member dentist in private practice in Westmont, IL.
Dr. Glenn DeWeirdt nominated him for the award.
"Dr. Huang exemplifies the ideals of altruism, generosity, and professionalism. Dr. DeWeirdt said. "The Chicago Dental Society Foundation Clinic (CDSF Clinic) could not have been established without his enthusiasm, drive, and generous donations of time and money by serving as a regular volunteer and a member of the clinic Board of Managers for many years."
"I came here as a foreign student studying math and I was very fortunate to become a dentist," Dr. Huang said in accepting the award.
"It is my honor to give back to the community."
The CDS Foundation Vision Award annually recognizes a dedicated philanthropist and volunteer who generously supports access to care programs and dental education for the underserved in their community; practices the dental profession with integrity, honesty, and truthfulness with commitment to the protection of the public trust; demonstrates altruism in endeavors, meriting the respect of patients, colleagues and the community and leads and inspires others through a high sense of purpose and dedication.

OSHA News Release – Region 6
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 6 News Release: USDL-OSHA-00-66-6-1
Thursday, June 01, 2000
Contact: Diana Petterson
PHONE: (214) 767-4776, ext. 222
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Igloo Products Corp. for 36 safety violations at its Houston manufacturing facility, and has proposed penalties totaling $128,000, announced the U.S. Department of Labor.
The alleged violations were discovered during a complaint inspection. Igloo Products was cited for 31 serious items consisting of 53 violations of OSHA standards, one repeat, and four other-than-serious safety violations.
Within the serious category, violations included failing to implement a periodic and regular inspection of injection molding equipment; guarding of floor and wall openings; defective fixed and portable stairs; inadequate emergency action plan; confined space standard; lack of training in the use of fire extinguishers; certificate of proof testing of chain slings; machine guarding; unguarded power transmission devices; unsafe electrical systems; exposure of energized electrical parts; electrical grounding; lack of personal protection equipment for employees exposed to methylene chloride; deficiencies of the Hazard Communications Program; and failure to train and inform employees as required by the methylene chloride standard. A serious violation is one in which could cause death or serious physical harm to employees.
The four other-than-serious violations were for the lack of respirator protections, emergency eye wash, inspection records for steel slings, and the improper adjustment of guards on an abrasive grinder. An other-than-serious violation is one where a violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is not serious in nature.
The one repeat violation was failing to list and label electrical equipment. A repeat violation is one in which the employer has been cited, during the past three years, for substantially similar infractions of the law.
Employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards can call the nearest OSHA office. OSHA's toll-free hotline may be used to report workplace accidents, fatalities, or situations posing imminent danger to workers. The number is 1-800-321-6742.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply, request an informal conference with the area director, or to contest the citations before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

IN DECEMBER, there is no rest for the road-weary Flyers.
They swept a three-game trip that wrapped up on Wednesday in Buffalo, one that also included stops in Anaheim and Phoenix. They will play just two of their next nine games at the Wells Fargo Center before the Winter Classic.
And if anyone can appreciate the extra rest that came earlier in the week, with 3 days off between Saturday's win against Coyotes and Wednesday, it is Kimmo Timonen.
Timonen, 36, has played in 212 straight games. But that's not to say he hasn't dealt with his fair share of bumps and bruises. He has been nagged by a wonky lower back practically since he arrived in Philadelphia.

Following two consecutive losing efforts, the IWC collectively breathed a sigh of relief after Beth Phoenix finally defeated Queen Barbie (aka The Female John Cena, aka Kelly Kelly) at last month's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event. We are all greatly relieved to see a true women's wrestler hold the Divas Championship and perhaps bring some of the lost prestige back to not only the title, but the division as a whole.
With Kharma out of the picture, Phoenix is the strongest woman in the division right now. In terms of raw power, no one can step to her. With her defeat of Eve at Vengeance last weekend, where does the Glamazon go from here? Let's take a look at all of the current Divas on the WWE roster and each's likelihood of facing (let alone dethroning) Beth Phoenix as Divas Champion.

RANGOON—As Burma's latest parliamentary session gets going, the main opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) says it is looking into whether President Thein Sein's election as head of the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) breaches Burma's Constitution.
In an interview at the NLD headquarters in Burma's commercial capital Rangoon, Tin Oo—a senior member of the party regarded close to chairwoman Aung San Suu Kyi—exclusively told The Irrawaddy that "the Constitution is not clear on whether the president can hold such a party position, so we are looking into it."
In the English translation of the widely condemned 2008 Constitution, Section 64 says that "if the President or Vice-President are members of a political party, they shall not take part in party activities during their term of office from the day of their election."
Thein Sein was reappointed party head at the USDP conference, which ended on Wednesday.
The NLD previously said it wants to revise the 2008 Constitution, which as things stand, would bar party leader Suu Kyi from becoming president should the party win 2015 national elections as she as close relatives who are foreign citizens. The document also guarantees 25 percent of parliamentary seats for military appointees.
Nonetheless, should the NLD raise the matter in Parliament, it promises to further liven up what should regardless be a busy, even dramatic, program for the country's legislature, which is dominated by the military-backed USDP.
During the last session, parliamentary pressure resulted in the mass resignation of the country's Constitutional Court—a move deemed by some as evidence of a strong legislature but seen by others as compromising the country's judiciary.
"I would say it was bizarre," said a representative of the Yangon School of Politics, a new think-tank comprising young Burmese scholars, who asked to remain anonymous. "They more or less asked the entire tribunal to quit because they didn't like one verdict."
The main business of Parliament this time is likely to focus on business, however. In June, Thein Sein pledged a year of economic reforms in Burma, which lags behind its neighbors as one of Asia's poorest countries despite bountiful natural resources.
The main priority for the new parliamentary session is likely to be the long-awaited Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Law. After several redrafts, the legislature approved a version in the previous session, but Thein Sein has returned it to MPs after proposing several revisions.
If passed into law, this will update the existing 1988 code and likely pave the way for increased investment into a Burma where hotels are packed with visiting corporate delegations and investment conferences take place regularly.
Analysts say the law could be delayed, however, due to conflicting priorities in the Parliament and in the President's Office. The Yangon School of Politics suggests that "the Parliament prefers to give national business more favorable status in liberation than foreign investors while the administration assumes creating nearly [a level] playground for both foreign investor and national businessmen."
Nonetheless, both government and opposition say that the FDI code is necessary, for political and economic reasons. President's Office spokesperson Nay Zin Latt said that "as we've [a] better relationship with the [Western] world, [the] FDI law would definitely be a priority in the upcoming session."
Khin Maung Swe, of the opposition National Democratic Force (NDF), said that "we need an investment law, but we will propose some amendments, once more. We are taking advice from experts overseas on how to come up with a good law."
Getting the investment law passed and bringing jobs and economic improvements to Burma is important for government stability, says Giulia Zino, senior Asia analyst at risk analysis company Maplecroft, which has published several recent reports on Burma's reforms.
In an email, Zino outlined that "it is of pivotal interest for reformists in government and opposition to ensure that foreign investment and development follow reforms, in order to avoid retaliation against progress from hardliners and discontent amongst the public—where expectations for improved living standards are rising."
Parliament could be overshadowed, however, by ongoing ethnic and sectarian strife in western and northern Burma. After June riots, tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims remain displaced and a government investigation commission into the violence is stalled, according to comedian and commission member Zarganar.
In Kachin State, almost-daily skirmishes take place between Burmese government troops and the Kachin Independence Army, although peace talks have been proposed for Ruili in China, close to the rebel headquarters.
Despite the foreseen emphasis on economic issues, ethnic conflict is also likely to be discussed in Parliament, says the NLD. "Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will use the Parliament to try for peace in the country," said Tin Oo.
"She wants to help resolve the conflicts with the Kachin and in Arakan State with the Bengali Muslims," he added, with the latter term referring to the Rohingya, dismissed by many Burmese as Bangladeshi immigrants and denied citizenship under a repressive 1982 law that has been denounced by humanitarian groups.
Asked whether the Rohingya should be granted Burmese citizenship, Tin Oo said that "those who are not legal citizens of this country cannot stay," but added that it was difficult to establish how many Rohingya could be entitled to Burmese citizenship.
"This is a difficult problem to solve," he said. "When I was a young man, there were no Rohingya in Burma."
Another item likely to be discussed in Parliament is a proposed new media law, which like the FDI code, has been much-delayed and is now subject to revision. New Information Minister Aung Kyi has promised a redraft, suggesting he prefers less restrictive legislation—although it is unclear whether prohibitions on criticizing the state will be removed.
Regardless, the new minister has the backing of the opposition."He is very much an appropriate person for the job," assessed Tin Oo.
The media law has also been deemed important by the government, according Naypyidaw spokesperson Nay Zinn Latt. "Becoming a democratic society and getting checks and balances by the Fourth Estate is a priority," he told The Irrawaddy.
The 2008 Myanmar Constituition , is it being tested and or in the process of being contested contested by the NLD both within and outside the "political space" it occupies in Myanmar. The ball is now in The Fourth Estate's court, for as Naypyidaw spokesperson Nay Zinn Latt said, "Becoming a democratic society and getting checks and balances by the Fourth Estate is a priority,".
There is an urgent need of a body of legal experts for interpretation of the 2008 Constitution.They must be people of unblemished integrity and characters. "Nobody is above the Law,declared by one General who now chairs the nation's legislative body.If the Head of State wants all of his citizens to follow the laws promulgated by the highest legislative body,he must be an exemplar to one and all without exception.The USDP in no way can steamroll the laws they themselves crafted and shoved into the throats of the people in the first place. Now the nation needs a clear-cut unbiased interpretation of Article 64 of 2008 Constitution.NLD and another democractic parties are obliged to clear this murky part of our Nation Contract.
Saud! Sadu! Sadu!
Amen! Amen! Amen!
This is not a case of too little too late.
This has become too much too soon.
Patience is the key to it all.
If the timing is not right then we will be back where we started.
Let things fall into place first.
Slowly by surely, step by step.
Don't be foolish we haven't got the numbers yet.
