Chuck Mindenhall (2:59 PM)
Happy Friday everyone. Starting to snow rather heavily in Connecticut. Right now it's diagonal snowfall. Soon, it will be horizontal. I've got plenty of microbrew and MMA. So let's get rolling. All kinds of things happening right now. What's on your minds?

Do u think Rashad still goes to middle and maybe challenge rockhold for a #1 contender bout
Chuck Mindenhall (3:00 PM)
Not sure what the next move for Rashad will be. That last fight was pretty listless, and then for the boss to question your hungry doesn't help. Maybe a change of scenery at 185 would do him wonders, but that weight cut may sap the rest of his willingness.
Sandy (Gainesville)
If you're Joe Silva, do you wait until after UFC 158 to give Anderson a match-up? That way, if Hendricks wins you give Silva Weidman, and if Hendricks loses you give him GSP (assuming GSP beats Diaz).
Chuck Mindenhall (3:02 PM)
Good question, Sandy. Not sure if Anderson is willing to wait that long. He might be, if he's truly against fighting Weidman. But there is still so many conditions to that scenario. One is that Hendricks loses, and the other is that GSP would be willing to fight Silva. That remains a big "if." My guess is Silva/Weidman is getting made.
Marc (Chicago, IL)
Why aren't people making more of Overeem's build without PEDs? He look way, way softer.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:03 PM)
Behind the scenes in Vegas plenty of people were talking about it. Heard many people say he looked smaller/softer. I thought he looked a little different, but still a mammoth. Man, it was weird watching him get cut down in the third, though. The place was electric.
Jacob (Essex)
Where do you see the winner of Te Huna/Jimmo at LHW? Do you think the fight has any implications in terms of top 10 status?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:04 PM)
That should be a really good stand-up battle. Jimmo got that quick KO over Perosh, and Te-Huna has been winning by KO for the the last couple of years. I think the winner definitely takes a step up towards that periphery, but not quite in the top ten. Jimmo, as the MFC champ, has some nice notches though (Gouveia, Eastman, Sokoudjou). He'd be closing in.
Tyler (Oklahoma City)
Is Uriah the next big star to come out of TUF? It has been quite a long talentless drought for the show.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:05 PM)
That KO he scored on the last episode doesn't hurt. Guy has tremendous kicks. Wondering how he handles strong wrestler, though. Nice to see some intrigue coming up through those ranks though, right? This season's been fun. I like him as a person, too. Humble guy.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:06 PM)
(and he fought Weidman and Philippou before landing the TUF gig, so he's stood across from monsters).
Who challenges Velasquez next?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:07 PM)
Million dollar question, JD. It boils down to either the trifecta with JDS, or a rematch with Bigfoot. Not sure which makes more sense, but leaning a little towards Bigfoot (let JDS/Overeem settle those differences).
Mark (St. Louis, MO)
Something Different. Favorite video game of all time?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:07 PM)
Still old-school, Mark. Missile Command. God I was good at that. Frogger was also awesome, though it cheated (IT CHEATED).
Shaun (Phila)
Overeem v Dos santos who u got if the fights made
Chuck Mindenhall (3:08 PM)
I'd go JDS. But man, I don't know...since UFC 155, my heavyweight settings have been changed and changed again.
Fedor (Mother Russia)
Chucky Poo, you like how Reem go boom? Where does the HW division go from here?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:09 PM)
It did go boom. Can't be what the UFC wanted; that was a big money fight between Reem/Velasquez. I know...how about your and Brock in Russia, winner gets a title show?
Andy (Chicago)
IF Mir wins does he get another shot at gold?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:09 PM)
I hope not, but then again, beating Cormier would jump some stock with a quickness.
Dave (Anytown, USA)
Hey bro. Looks like a potential fight of the year candidate between Cub Swanson and Dustin Poirier. Future title shot for the winner?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:11 PM)
Love this fight. I like it better than the original of Siver/Poirier. I think the winner is definitely right up there near a title shot. Problem is, we've got a bottleneck situation happening, that'll last through 2013. With Pettis coming down to fight Aldo, that means Korean Zombie/Lamas and these guys are all in a holding pattern. Doesn't help that the Aldo/Pettis fight is in August.
Nick (Dayton)
Correcting Tyler: Just one year ago, TUF brought us #1 FW contender John Dodson (and in my eyes the winner over D Johnson)
Chuck Mindenhall (3:11 PM)
Good point, Nick. How soon we sleep on Dodson.
Guy (Aurora, Il)
I did not see that Bigfoot knockout coming! Where does this put him in the division though? I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that I don't want to see Cain brutalize him again.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:12 PM)
I mean, it puts him right back up there. The best thing Bigfoot and his camp could do (if they want the title shot, which sounds like they aren't overly urgent for) would be to preach that the first contest was an aberration. That second time around, things will be different.
Coleman (Baltimore)
Poirier vs swanson and Barao vs McDonald. Fuel Tv subscribers getting spoiled
Chuck Mindenhall (3:13 PM)
Marc (Malden, MA)
Is JDS too one-dimensional (boxing)?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:14 PM)
I'd have said "no" more emphatically before his UFC 155 fight. I think he's not one-dimensional though. He wrestles well. That sprawl. He did get caught with that big overhand right, and that sort of dropped all game plan from then on.
Vinod (NYC)
Where does Mousasi go if he gets past Gustafsson?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:15 PM)
That division is such a muddle. Again, a little bottle-necked because of Sonnen being jumped up to a title shot (and it happening in April). My guess, though, is he'd have to wait even with a win over Gusty. That is, unless Hendo loses to Machida, and Mousasi makes it emphatic....maybe then?
Alan (South Florida) [via mobile]
Chuck, what do you think about Evans vs Rua on Fox? They're big enough names that it would draw ratings, and it's a good crossroads fight for both.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:16 PM)
Yeah, that's the kind of fight I kind of expect each guy to get. It's funny. Here we are relegating Evans to that old "gatekeeper" circuit (or, past glories circuit), and a week ago we were putting him against Silva. Fight game can change real swiftly....
Dom (DC)
How far can Maia get in the Welterweight division? Will he eventually get a shot at the title?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:17 PM)
Lot of top dudes right now all in that rarefied space. It all comes down to UFC 158. What happens in all those 170-pound fights? I believe the best route would be to stack Maia against the winner of MacDonald/Condit.
Nick (Dayton)
Kind of sad that Dos Santos can win 10 fights in a row in the UFC, go 1-1 with the Current Champ, beat 3 former UFC champs in a row (Carwin, Cain, Mir), and in the top heavy - Heavyweight Divsion with no true #1 contender, can't get an immediate rematch. We would rather give it to Bigfoot who was finished by Cain in 3 minutes
Chuck Mindenhall (3:19 PM)
I know what you mean. But there's the "what do the fans want" thing going on here, plus a chance to roll out JDS/Reem (which isn't a bad consolation). I wouldn't be surprised if he DOES get Velasquez next, though. Bigfoot isn't exactly banging kitchen pots right now for his chance.
Jeremiah (Kansas)
How is Adam Cella? All recovered and ready to fight? Lost in all the talk is how good Cella looked up until the last 10 seconds of the round.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:19 PM)
I think he was okay. Didn't you see Steve Mazzagatti reassure everyone? (Ahem). Seriously, though, I haven't heard. It's all canned, so I assume he's fine, or it would have come out that he wasn't.
Matt (Nashville)
Lavar Johnson vs. Brendan Schaub looks like a slugfest, who goes down swinging?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:20 PM)
Tough one. Going Schaub. He's due. Isn't he? (I have grown used to seeing him get clipped, though).
Adam (Albuquerque)
So what are the odds that Aldo pulls out his match in June or July? Seems like Pettis always has that type of luck.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:21 PM)
That thought did occur to me. He does have some strange juju going against him in the 155-pound division. Not sure. If Alvarez is a UFCer by then, maybe he steps in. Gray Maynard would be a very difficult fight for Bendo, I think....maybe they look there?
Alan (Oakland)
Hey Chuck! What's your opinion of the "official UFC rankings?" Love it, hate it, indifferent?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:22 PM)
Eh, guess sort of indifferent. I have a chance to jump on there, and might. I don't see it as a conflict of interest. I see it as a premise for people (casuals, diehards, in-betweens) to gather around and find bearings. That's about it. It plays out like a gauge of just how ignorant we in the media are, though. Lots of quibbling.
caveman from the 716 [via mobile]
Time to let alexis Davis in the ufc
Chuck Mindenhall (3:23 PM)
Don't have to convince me. Thought her fight with Kaufman was right up there for FOTY in 2012.
Reggie (Springfield)
I'm all for women's MMA in the UFC, but Ronda Rousey is going to smoke Lizz. I like "competitive" more than I like "beasts." Agree????
Chuck Mindenhall (3:23 PM)
Reggie, that is my...hesitation, too. I just don't see it being competitive, and therefore, as novel and groundbreaking and historic as it is, I feel it'll be anticlimactic and fast.
Matt (DC)
What about Rory McDonald vs Silva? If he beats Condit then he's not willing to fight GSP. Plus he a big 170..
Justin (CA)
You hear Rumble Johnson moving up to HW to fight Arlovski? How did he ever make those 170 cuts?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:26 PM)
That is crazy, isn't it? Why he was so insistent on fighting at 170, I don't know.
mike (pittsburgh)
simple as this....pettis/aldo is a fight that everyone wants. llamas/aldo ain't.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:27 PM)
You know, it is pretty much as simple as that. Lamas deserves a shot, but he just won't be the draw that Pettis will. If he beats Korean Zombie? Maybe we're getting somewhere.
jose sealy tx [via mobile]
How do u see jones and sonnen fight I think its an easy one for jones?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:28 PM)
I see it similarly. Sonnen won't have anything for Jones. He wants to take it to the ground, and work his G&P? Best of luck with that against Jones, who doesn't get taken down.
Vinod (NYC)
Any word on what happens to Pettis' title shot at 155 with a win or loss against Aldo?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:28 PM)
No word on that. I have no idea what the UFC will do, either.
Adam (Albuquerque)
Heard about Josh Barnett supposedly turning down the Octagon. Why do you think this is? Seems like he could've cashed in on a decent pay day as the only marketable contender to Velasquez right now.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:30 PM)
I was surprised to hear it, but something in the contract couldn't be worked out, and alas, Barnett will be pillaging/plundering a different promotion (and leaving a trail of carcasses and scorched earth). Would have liked him and Cain....
Justin (CA)
Deeper division in the UFC today: Featherweight or Welterweight?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:30 PM)
I'd still go welterweight, but ask me again after UFC 158.
Brian (DC)
What type of serious prospect do you see Henry Cejudo as? Seems everyone os super Gogh on him, yet it wouldn't surprise me to see him burnout/flake out. Give me Bubba Jenkins as the better "prospect"
Chuck Mindenhall (3:31 PM)
I think he could make a pretty huge splash in MMA. Charisma, mystique, and he's a 125-er, so maybe he adds value to that division. Agree on Jenkins, though. Some great prospects coming up, either way.
Coleman (Baltimore)
I thought Aldo won and fought a bad gameplan. Where did the leg kicks go after the second round?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:32 PM)
He said he noticed Edgar checking them. That's true, but it was a little strange that they went away so completely for a while there.
Marc (Chicago, IL)
Is Kim Winslow the worst ref in the business? If not, then who is?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:32 PM)
I think Dana would through Mazaggatti's name in there. Winslow has had some bad moments. That stand-up at the last card was ridiculous though. Glad it didn't end up hurting Bobby Green.
Derek (Helena, MT)
Thanks for the chat. You think part of rashad's issue(s) the other night could be attributed to (1) missing out on the Jackson/winklejohn strategy and (2) eating too many Jon Jones elbows? Couldn't tell why he wouldn't pull the trigger the other night.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:34 PM)
Somebody was saying he hurt his hand early, and that was the reason. I'd buy it more wholesale if we hadn't seen him tentative in the past. Nog did a good job of keeping Rashad at bay with the jab, but there was something out of whack there. From where I was sitting, Roy Nelson, in the stands, was begging him to shoot for a double leg. Rashad even looked over during a break, and acknowledged him. But then...did nothing.
Big Dan (Somewhere daydreamong)
Thanks for the mention Chuck, glad to see my work has been noticed, though I doubt Thiago Tavares and Jackson last night on the Bellator show appreciate it.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:35 PM)
Poor Dan. You always get yourself transfixed, like you're being lured in by a chicken tetrazzini.
Duff (Minnesota)
Why isn't Roy Nelson's name in the HWT title mix? With Werdum locked up and Carwin injured, its thin for the big boys
Chuck Mindenhall (3:36 PM)
Not sure he's at that level. But if necessity dictates, maybe he is considered?
Jeremiah (Kansas)
With all the promotion for the 157 Card, I haven't seen anything promoting Faber. Seems strange - isn't he one of the more marketable guys in the lower weight classes?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:36 PM)
I think they are selling Ronda Rousey, and that comes at the expense of everybody else. Even Liz Carmouche.
Marc (Chicago, IL)
What would you rather see? Tito vs. Liddell in a UFC match or Tito vs. Dana White in a boxing match? I have read a lot about Dana White's boxing, and I would love to see him get out there and give it a try.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:37 PM)
White would be the first to tell you he's not getting in there. So I guess I'd go with Tito/Chuck (reluctantly). No mention of Couture in there against White?
ike (home)
IMHO, TRT & TUE are LOL dumb.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:38 PM)
Well said, Ike. Well said. (What's IKE an acronym for?)
Brian (DC)
Hey Chuck, have you heard any explanation for why Pettis-Aldo is going down in August? From a fan perspective, that's my biggest problem with this fight considering neither Aldo or Pettis took much damage.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:39 PM)
I have not heard any direct reason. Even Pettis was confused by it. Maybe Aldo suffered an injury, or perhaps, with Harley Davidson's anniversary coming up (and them being such a big sponsor), they are trying to arrange something up in the Chicago/Milwaukee area to correlate?
Jay (Richmond)
Cub Swanson and Dustin Poirier going to bring it big time to the UK!!!
Chuck Mindenhall (3:39 PM)
Amen, brother Jay.
Jamie (Hamilton, NZ)
Hey Chuck, Jacare looks like he could be a decent challenger for the belt at 185, how far off a shot is he?/who does he fight next?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:41 PM)
Heard somebody say he should fight Costa Philippou. To me that would make some sense. I think Jacare is a couple of fights from the title, but he is a big dark horse to make waves in that division.
Mark (Boston)
Any word when we will see Miesha Tate, Julie Kedzie or Sara McMann in the UFC or any other women? They are what made Strikeforce exciting for the last year.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:42 PM)
Good chance they are waiting to see how things play out at UFC 157, but been told that all are being considered. Seems inevitable.
Tom (Tyson)
How is Frankie still in the P4P discussion when he lost 3 in a row?!
Chuck Mindenhall (3:43 PM)
I think because he was in the "literal" P4P discussion for so long. He was fighting guys bigger than him, so was a literal 155er. I also think the close nature of his losses. But for me, he's out of the top ten with three losses in a row. Love his heard/courage/adaptability, but can't justify that.
taylor stephens. ga [via mobile]
What am I hearing about a possible Chael Sonnen injury and the possibility that Alexander G. will be replacing him?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:44 PM)
I dunno....what are you hearing?
Gordon (Phoenix)
Saw you on the MMA Beat, Chuck. Love that show. Was wondering what your thoughts were on Josh Barnett passing on coming to the UFC?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:45 PM)
Must have his reasons, Gordon. That was actually a topic we had planned to hit on, but didn't have time. Would have liked to see him there, given his history.
Stephen (Brooklyn)
Chuck, what's your thoughts on Ricardo Lamas being skipped over for a title shot? Beating Swanson, Hioki and Koch should get you that shot, shouldn't it??
Chuck Mindenhall (3:46 PM)
Yes, it should. Particularly when Koch was signed up twice to fight Aldo, and Hioki was offered (but refused). Swanson is on a torrid streak right now, too. But Pettis is the money fight, and the UFC jumped.
Peter (Dallas)
Is Anderson Silva going to HAVE TO FIGHT Chris Wiedman now? Seems like he's run out of options.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:46 PM)
I would think that's the direction the UFC is thinking, and that persuasion is underway. But in 2013, I've been fooled a lot. No telling what's up their sleeves.
Nonso charles,lagos nigeria [via mobile]
Why does professional wrestlers(wwe) don't do so well in mma.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:47 PM)
This will vex mankind for all of time I fear, Nonso Charles.
Dave (Anytown, USA)
Hey bro. With Overeem, Suga, Guillard, and Michael Johnson losing recently, are the Blackzilians the most overhyped camp in history? Except for Vitor Belfort and his Ivan Drago training regimen, of course.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:48 PM)
Been a bad stretch for the Zilians, that's for sure. Lot of resilient characters there. I know times are hard, but they'll bounce back. Jimmo's fighting next weekend. Maybe he'll be the unlikely one to change the course.
Is Dominic Cruz's injury showing how weak the Bantamweight division truly is?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:49 PM)
Not sure why they waited so long to book McDonald/Barao. McDonald was good to go like in October of 2012. But glad it's happening. Not the deepest division.
Alex (Concord)
What are the chances that Dana pulls Werdum out of the TUF Brazil finale to take on Cain? Seems he is the only reasonable heavyweight you can match him against the champ.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:50 PM)
I don't think he'd mess with that TUF match-up. Too much time and money goes into promotion. Besides, even though Werdum is "up there," are people clamoring to see that fight? That would be the big reason the UFC wouldn't snatch up Werdum for Velasquez.
Dennis (MI)
is it snowing really bad there?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:50 PM)
Coming down. Looks like it's going to be a long night. Right now I'm in a snow globe.
Dan (Hoboken)
The Aldo/Edgar fight was tremendous. I think it showcased the best of both fighters. What were your thoughts on the quality of it?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:51 PM)
Loved it. Thought we got a little bit of everything. It went back and forth. Aldo had his moments. Edgar challenged late, and made Aldo earn it. Just what I was hoping for, honestly.
Eddie (Michigan)
Hendricks better focus on Ellenberger and not GSP.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:51 PM)
Chuck Mindenhall (3:52 PM)
Seen too many guys slip in that penultimate spot before.
Justin (CA)
If the upset does happen and Rousey loses, how fast will the women's division fold in the UFC?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:53 PM)
What a calamity that would be. All this promotion on Rousey, and then she gets beat on the big stage. Not sure what would happen. But for all the work Rousey did to build up women's MMA, Carmouche could be the one to smash it. That's a lot of pressure on Rousey (and a burden that Carmouche had just assume not contemplate).
Justin (CA)
Dominic Cruz updates?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:54 PM)
Seems to be recovered after the second ACL procedure. Haven't heard a timetable, but will check in with his camp.
Ben (Oklahoma )
when Condit beats macdonald again does he get another title shot and when?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:55 PM)
Doubt it. He would likely get somebody like Maia, with a title shot in the balance. That'd be my guess. Just no way they roll back GSP/Condit again. However, if Diaz is the champion? That might change some thinking.
Larry Sanders Joe (Newark, UK)
Hi Chuck. Is Mauro Renallo done with Zuffa?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:55 PM)
I know he moved to California, and is doing work in boxing. Not sure of his whole story.
tdiddy (winnipeg) [via mobile]
Hey Chaz. Why don't hockey players do so well in the ufc? They fight good on the ice... Also if Chael IS out and they throw my boy Gustaffson to Jonny Jones I might pout and stomp around my house for a while. Too soon for the swede.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:56 PM)
Where are you guys hearing that Chael might be out? I haven't heard that (but then again, I am in here typing...can't cruise the internet).
Georgia (Charlotte)
How seriously is Maynard considering the drop to FW? With Edgar gone, he's got to be fairly close to a title shot with a couple wins.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:57 PM)
I don't think he's serious. What would be the point? And I am not sure he could even make that. He's a HUGE lightweight. That would be a ridiculous cut. Though he is A) a wrestler and knows how to do it and B) his wife is a tremendous cook, who uses natural ingredients (usually vegetarian), so diet wouldn't be a problem.
Aaron (co)
How long until rashad is on trt. Dude looked old.
Chuck Mindenhall (3:58 PM)
Hopefully never, but the way things are going, the "exemption" starts to become the people who are stubbornly natural. They become "exempt" from the exploitable loopholes.
Justin (CA)
Did you catch UFC Primetime last night?
Chuck Mindenhall (3:58 PM)
Ben (Oklahoma )
If Condit beats MaCdonald again does he get another shot a GSP? and when. or do you see him taking on safferdine after macdonald fight?
Chuck Mindenhall (4:00 PM)
As mentioned before, I think whoever wins MacDonald/Condit will get Maia. Just a hunch. Don't foresee Condit getting a title shot so quick, and MacDonald is reluctant to fight GSP. Not sure where Saffeidine lands in the scope of things, but here's guessing UFC 158 sorts it all out.
Cam (Los Angeles)
How about Shlemenko knocking out Falcao with those two bombs after it looked like he had asked to call it quits due to the body shots? Brutal and yet awesome.
Chuck Mindenhall (4:01 PM)
Loved the post-fight stuff. Great to see it all transcribed.
Marc Iveson (UK)
Hey man, one last question, if you had to pick one, which champion loses his belt this year? I'm leaning towards either Mighty Mouse or GSP.
Chuck Mindenhall (4:01 PM)
Yeah, that's tough. I'd go with Ben Henderson. If not Melendez, maybe Maynard or Pettis. Tough row of challenges coming his way.
Chuck Mindenhall (4:02 PM)
OK, guys, I need to get out of here and go get provisions before the blizzard seals me in. Thanks for stopping by. Hit my Twitter @ChuckMindenhall, and we'll see you in here next week.

Maine Driving Laws for Seniors and Older Drivers
Learn about driving provisions and special programs focused on keeping both Maine's older drivers and roadways safe.
While the myriad rules and regulations enforced by the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) apply to drivers of all ages and stages, some special requirements and restrictions are imposed on older drivers.
Maine's rules are explained in more detail below, but a number of them focus on identifying and handling older drivers who may have become unsafe behind the wheel.
Specifically, Maine:
- requires a vision test at the first renewal for drivers at age 40--and periodically after that
- requires drivers age 65 and older to renew their licenses every four years; younger drivers must renew every six years, and
- accepts requests from anyone with personal knowledge of the driver to report concerns about unsafe driving.
License Renewal Rules for Older Drivers
Special rules apply to drivers who are 40 and older who seek to renew their licenses.
Time limits: Every four years for drivers age 65 and older; every six years for those under age 65.
Vision test: A vision test is required at the first renewal after age 40; then at every second renewal until age 62 and older, when a test is required at each renewal.
Eye examinations are offered free at the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles, although individuals may also have them conducted by a doctor of choice within a year of the renewal request; that doctor must complete an Eye Form.
Written test: Not required.
Road test: Required only if the BMV receives indications the driver may be impaired.
Possible License Restrictions
The Maine Secretary of State can place restrictions on a person's driver license. The most common restriction for older drivers is to require glasses or corrective contact lenses.
Other common restrictions include:
- driving only during daylight hours
- driving only within a specific area, or
- other conditions imposed "in the interest of highway safety."
To begin the process of securing a restricted license, contact:
Bureau of Motor Vehicles
29 State House Station
Augusta, ME 04333
How to Request an Unsafe Driver Investigation in Maine
Any person who believes an individual has a medical condition that affects his or her ability to drive may file a report with the Maine Secretary of State; all such reports are kept confidential.
Once the report is received, the Secretary of State's office may request an additional medical report from a physician or other treatment personnel. That report must be competed on the BMV's Driver Medical Evaluation Form.
Secretary of State personnel may then conduct an investigation seeking additional evidence or requiring the person under question to submit to a driving evaluation. As a final result, the license may be suspended, retained or restricted by particular conditions such as times and places of permissible driving.
How to Get a License Reinstated
For information on how to get back a license that has been suspended or revoked, contact:
Bureau of Motor Vehicles
Driver License Services
Division 29, State House Station
Augusta, ME 04333
The query should include the driver's name, date of birth, and current address.
Maine Driver Improvement Programs
Drivers can improve their skills by taking an education and training class specifically developed for older drivers. Local course offerings are listed online at Maine Driving Dynamics.
How to Get Parking Placards or License Plates for a Disabled Driver
Disabled person parking placards and license plates can be issued to drivers with impaired mobility if a licensed medical professional certifies the condition.
The placards and plates are also available for those who:
- cannot walk 200 feet without resting
- cannot walk without the use of, or assistance from, a brace, cane, crutch, another person, prosthetic device, wheelchair or other assisting device
- are restricted by lung disease
- use portable oxygen
- have a severe cardiac condition, or
- are severely limited in the ability to walk due to an arthritic, neurological or orthopedic condition.
Steps required to obtain a disabled placard or plate are:
- Complete and sign an Application for Disability Plates/Placard.
- Have a licensed physician, physician's assistant, nurse practitioner or registered nurse complete the Medical Provider's Statement portion of the application.
- Take the complete application to the nearest Motor Vehicle Office Branch, fax it to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles at 207-624-9204 or mail it to: Disability Clerk, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, 29 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333.
A summary of Maine's legal requirements for drivers with disabilities is available online at "Disability Plates, Disability Placards and Disability Parking."

Talking Points
"All War Is Terrorism"
A conversation with Mark Rudd of The Weather Underground on violence, the FBI, Che Guevara and a Palestinian named Jesus
By Jim Scarantino
In "The Real Side" ["Now Starring in the People's Republic of Albuquerque!" Oct. 26-Nov. 1], I wrote about the curious coincidence of Albuquerque attracting former leaders of The Black Panther Party, EarthFirst! and The Weather Underground. In the column, I imagined the ex-radicals holding forth about their regrets and their take on current events. Mark Rudd, formerly of The Weather Underground, accepted that invitation. Here's my conversation with a man who helped form an organization that bombed the Capitol and for a decade waged war against the United States of America.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: England--A 22-year-old lad who came up with the brilliant idea of launching a bottle rocket out of his own backside in celebration of Bonfire Night ended up in a Sunderland hospital with a scorched colon. "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding," Douglas McDougal, from the North East Ambulance Service, told BBC News. The man was described as being in stable condition following the removal of a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket from his rectum. "He sustained fairly significant injuries," reported McDougal. "There's a lot of major blood vessels 'round that area, so infection would probably be a huge problem for him. And also the body naturally produces methane gas, so combine that with the firework and the exploding effect with methane's flammability--it certainly could have been a lot worse than it really was."
Jim Scarantino's opinion piece on Burque's Free Radicals of bygone fame/infamy [The Real Side, "Now Starring in the People's Republic of Albuquerque!," Oct. 26-Nov.1] was thoughtful and fun to read, but Jim did glide over some important distinctions. There is a world of difference among the three men noted in Jim's article, and Mark Rudd, for one, has long publicly distanced himself from the more absurd stances and actions of the Weather faction. Lumping all three together as apologists for violence is misleading. But they are each quite articulate still, and can speak for themselves.

Coconut Rice
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 3⁄4 cup coconut cream
- 3⁄4 cup water
- 2 -3 whole cloves (optional)
- Wash the rice a few times. I do this by filling a bowl with rice and water and stirring it around, then drain the water and repeat. Repeat until the water is clear, this removes a lot of the surface starch on the rice and prevents it becoming too sticky.
- Put all the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir the rice and turn the heat to low. At this point you must put the lid on the saucepan and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes turn the heat off and leave on the hob for a further 10-15 minutes. This allows the rice to finish cooking and also cool a little before serving.
Most Helpful

Tracking FreeBSD in FreeNAS by Using Git for Newbies
This is the second in our series of presentation recaps. In addition to Craig's presentation (which can be found here) at the FreeBSD Vendor Summit held on November 7, 2013, iXsystems was also represented by Alfred Perlstein.
Alfred Perlstein, iXsystems Vice President of Software Engineering, gave a presentation, "Following FreeBSD with a git Workflow". Alfred's presentation gave step-by-step examples of how to use git to incorporate changes from FreeBSD source code, into a third-party codebase. Alfred's examples were taken directly from the development process for FreeNAS and TrueNAS, which are based on FreeBSD source code. By using git, Alfred has been able to transform the FreeNAS development process, and save hundreds of FreeNAS development hours when integrating new changes and bugfixes from FreeBSD into FreeNAS. Afterwards, Alfred generously provided a write up of his talk so that anyone who was unable to attend could refer to the tutorial he gave. A pdf copy of his article can also be found in the downloads section.
This article will discuss, at a high level, how git works. It will include an example where we examine some of the git meta data. The goal of this article is to dispel much of the magic and worry when doing things with git.
We will cover:
- How branches are made.
- How remote branches are handled.
- How the rebase operation works.
- How to save your work back to your personal github.
Many of these explanations work fine for the most common use cases, at least the use cases for FreeNAS and our commercial product, TrueNAS. There is likely some measure of inaccuracy when it comes to the actual underlying mechanisms of git as opposed to the conceptual.
So instead of going into the actual mechanisms, which can be confusing and takes quite some time to grasp, we will instead conceptually describe how git works so that you can do the same branch management as we do in our project. At the end of this article, you should have a basic idea of how to take a changeset and move it to a later version of FreeBSD, effectively "rebasing" your work.
So let's get down to the concepts that dispel a lot of the confusion about git.
Actually, first let's set up to download the FreeBSD git repository because it's large and you can read the first few paragraphs below while it gets started. So first find yourself a filesystem that is CASE-SENSITIVE and has at least 2GB free and run this command:
% git clone https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git
Now start reading, this will take a while.
What is git?
The data structures of git
In order to understand git, an abstract explanation of how git works helps. Let's start with the statement:
git is a database of diffs with a few linked list pointers in it to keep track of things.
Here is an example of a conceptual git object:
struct git_object {
struct git_object *go_next; // <- pointer to the NEXT object
struct git_object *go_merge; // <- We won't cover this here
char go_object_hash[HASHSIZE]; // that funky 242423defegefg357 thing
char go_commit_log, author_name, etc, etc; // annotation/meta-data
char go_diff_data[]; // has the actual patch(1) data in it
Using the git_object just described, we can see that each object can be looked up by its hash. By fetching that object, one can retrieve a snapshot of the tree at any given point.
The second thing we can note is that each commit appends another git_object to the list of git objects. Essentially git is a linked list that allows you to also reference any node by hashid. With this, we can represent the history of a single branch.
The data is in go_diff_data. The funky hash is stored in go_object_hash.
How do we represent multiple branches?
Simple. We have a fan-in setup where git objects can fan-in to point at each other. For example:
one branch "4321"
two branches, "4321" & "abcd"
You can see that "abcd"'s go_next pointer points to the node "6543". So does "4321". Since both"abcd" and "4321" reference "6543", we have a fan-in configuration, typical of branched development.
Naming branches
Excellent. But, wait…my branches are actually called "4321" & "abcd"?!
That's TERRIBLE!
Well, wait– git allows you to name branches (as it should). Let's talk about how that is done.
First, let's type "git branch" to see what branch we're on.
~/git/freebsd % git branch
* master
~/git/freebsd %
Ok, "master". That is exactly where we want to be, the git name for "HEAD" or "TRUNK" that most CVS or SVN users are used to.
Now, let's go under our FreeBSD git repo and go into the HIDDEN directory and look around.
Under your freebsd/.git directory, the two things of interest for this example are the file config and the directory refs. The config file has your config in it. We'll get to that later.
Let's look under refs, we have directories heads; this is where the references to our hashes are. Have look around. There's one file called master. Inside master is the hash for the git_obj that represents the tip of the branch.
Go ahead and run "git log" on that hash. What we have here is a nice representation of a branch.
~/git/freebsd % cat .git/refs/heads/master
~/git/freebsd % git log ce4163e4f3478c8819e2e474356811fc1c641aba

Move the KASSERT() check to the point before the increase of number of pins.
Approved by: adrian (mentor)
Notes (origin/commits):
svn path=/head/; revision=258047
. . .
This is a ref. This is also a head. It represents the master branch. The master branch is the typical DEFAULT branch for most git setups. You can make the default branch NOT master, but for now, most git repos implicitly call the original branch master.
OK, now where is the rest of FreeBSD? Is all I have is "trunk" or "master"?
Nope! Let's explain that.
Remote branches
Let's go back under the .git directory. From there, go to refs, then "remotes".This is where the rest of the remote repository's branches and "things" should be. Let's take a look under here…
~/git/freebsd % ls -l .git/refs/remotes
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 alfred staff 272 Nov
12 16:32 origin ~/git/freebsd %
What is origin? Origin is the DEFAULT name that git will assign a remote repository when you clone from it. We can change the name or use different names, but for now, let's look under the hood of the directory origin:
% ls .git/refs/remotes/origin
HEAD projects svn_head
master stable user
Wait a second… What is "HEAD"? I thought that HEAD was called master??? Well, let's look:
%cat .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
ref: refs/remotes/origin/master
~/git/freebsd %
Oh, interesting. It's actually a reference to refs/remotes/origin/master! This is the currently checked out branch.
Let's look at something interesting. Look under "stable". You'll see directories for 10, 9, 6, etc. Go ahead and "cat" one of those files. You'll see a hash, so run "git log" on that hash. OK, so now we know how branches are made.
~/git/freebsd % ls -l .git/refs/remotes/origin/stable
total 12
-rw-r–r– 1 alfred staff 41 Nov 12 16:32 10

Now go ahead and play around under the .git/refs directory and explore a bit. Don't delete any files, but just run around and explore.
How we use git in FreeNAS
FreeNAS uses FreeBSD as the base OS. Our main goal is to upstream as much code as possible into FreeBSD. At the same time, we need insulation against unintended stability and performance issues in FreeBSD.
So we use git to stack diffs on top of FreeBSD.
We take a pristine copy of FreeBSD, using all of the history and just branch from it and then apply our changes to our custom branch.
Then when we feel ready, we grab a newer version of FreeBSD and "rebase" on top of it. Effectively we move all of our FreeNAS changes over to a newer version of FreeBSD and the majority of our changes are absorbed as newer FreeBSD has all of our changes.
Talking about the rebase operation
Let's walk through this process. First we need to add FreeNAS as another remote repo. What is a remote repo? Well our first remote repo is origin which happens to be…
# modified: sys/boot/forth/brand.4th
# Unmerged paths:
# (use "git reset HEAD …" to unstage)
# (use "git add …" to mark resolution)
# both modified: sys/boot/forth/beastie.4th
# both modified: sys/boot/forth/menu.4th
Edit sys/boot/forth/beastie.4th. Remove the second part under !HEAD(that's us) for the first conflict:

Then edit sys/boot/forth/menu.4th and change the text like so:
Print the frame caption at (x,y)
s" loader_menu_title" getenv dup -1 = if
drop s" Welcome to FreeBSD"
str_loader_menu_title getenv dup -1 = if
drop s" Welcome to FreeNAS"

Print the frame caption at (x,y)
s" loader_menu_title" getenv dup -1 = if
drop s" Welcome to FreeNAS"
24 over 2 / – 9 at-xy type
Now mark those conflicts as resolved and commit them:
~/git/freebsd % git add sys/boot/forth/beastie.4th sys/boot/forth/menu.4th
~/git/freebsd % git rebase –continue
Applying: Change FreeNAS text logo
Applying: Make txg_quiesce visible so it will work for Dtrace
Applying: Fix load of dtraceall module
. .
If you get any more conflicts (in my recent check I got another conflict at patch 0188) just skipthem as we're not doing a lesson on conflict resolution:
~/git/freebsd % git rebase –skip
Applying: Support for conditionally including files.
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree…

M sys/boot/forth/support.4th
:35: trailing whitespace.
:88: trailing whitespace.
which prepends 'include' to the string to be passed to
warning: 2 lines add whitespace errors.
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge…
. . .
Note: Since us FreeNAS/TrueOS developers push as many changes as possible upstream to FreeBSD we will typically get MANY conflicts when doing a rebase against a much later version. Luckily since almost everything is upstream, we typically wind up just skipping most of our patches. Still, we are careful and audit during this time.
We are almost done now. Our unfied_freebsd_b branch contains the changes rebased onto a later version of FreeBSD. We have one last thing to do… we have to put it somewhere!
You want to store your personal version of TrueOS/FreeNAS right? Well the easiest way is to use github.
If you don't have a github account then go make one RIGHT NOW.
Then just perform the following steps:
1. Go to this url: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd
2. Pick "fork", right now it's the icon at the top right of the screen:
3.Then to your copy of the fork: https://github.com/alfredperlstein/freebsd
4.Get the repository url:
In my case it's "firstname.lastname@example.com:alfredperlstein/freebsd.git"
5. Now add it as a remote:
% git remote add mybsd firstname.lastname@example.com:alfredperlstein/freebsd.git
6. Push your work to it:
~/git/freebsd % git push alfred unified_freebsd_b:unified_freebsd_b
Counting objects: 2915, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (1322/1322), done.
Writing objects: 100% (2330/2330), 662.04 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 2330 (delta 1727), reused 1195 (delta 881)
To email@example.com:alfredperlstein/freebsd.git
* [new branch] unified_freebsd_b -> unified_freebsd_b
Now check if it's there:
Now you're done. You have your own copy of FreeNAS's TrueOS to play with.

Yes, the Braves truly got their hats handed to them this evening, with a 17-2 crushing at the hands of the San Diego Padres.
However, Braves fans should take heart, because as bad as this beating seemed, in the great scheme of things, it's only one game out of 162, and no matter how badly you lose, it counts in the standings just as much as a 3-2 heartbreaker.
Besides, it's no worse than some of the other defeats the Braves have suffered over the years.
Want proof?

25 to Life
Some might call it SOCOM in tha hood. New screens.
One look at 25 to Life's online game modes should give you an idea of what to expect here. The default mode is war, a simple deathmatch that pits 16 people against one another in an all-out street riot. If you're looking for something more involved, there are two variations on capture the flag: raid, where cops break into a safe house and gangsters try to hold them off for as long as possible, and robbery, where gangsters knock off a series of stores and make a run for the escape point before the cops can catch them. The final mode is tag, where gangster crews compete for turf by spraying their clan's name on wallstags can be customized offline before the game begins. (Just like most sports games these days, you'll get to keep track of your online stats and ranking via the game's official website at www.25tolife.com.)
So why would anyone want to play a cop in 25 to Life? Because unlike in SOCOM, 25 to Life's warring sides have decisively different weapons and abilities. Your average cop here has a standard-issue pistol and baton, as well as rifles, hand grenades, and even a Taser that can knock out anything smaller than a horse within 10 feet. Even worse, the police also possess the advantage in accuracysince they've had real marksmanship training, they miss far less often at longer ranges. Gangsters, just like in the movies, have to make up the difference with pure firepowerfrom Ingram MAC-10s and TEC-9s all the way up to sawed-off shotguns and goofy RoboCop-style machinery.
With all of this weaponry, your typical online match in 25 to Life tends to become a lurid, slightly unsettling bloodbathlike you're living out the climax of Menace II Society in the safety of your living room.
"Our focus here is on immersion and ambience," Neri explains. "A lot of games seem empty when you play them online, so we wanted to enhance our game's realism and the way its world feels." And ambience is what this game has: Helicopters whir above your head, the boom-boom-boom of a nearby club echoes across the street, and brushing past the wrong car could set off its alarm and give away your position. For even more immersion, you can customize your character's looks, face, and clothing; rare accessories like bandannas and custom facial hair will be unlocked after completing certain feats online.
Unplugged: Although the solo mode in 25 to Life is primarily meant as a warm-up for your online debut, it's still far deeper than the simple practice sections of online titles like Microsoft's Counter-Strike. The single-player game's divided into four story vignettes, each told from a different perspective, which come together near the end as the focus shifts to the leader of the local crime syndicate you're fighting and/or abetting. Expect to see the same sorts of robberies and raids you'll pull off onlinejust with a real plot and without anyone talking about how stoned they are in your headset.
What you might hear: "Yo, this Glock ain't got s*** on what I got hidden in my closet upstairs. Crips for life!"

Ford Motor Co. announced it will maintain it pro-rated battery warranty and family pricing structures for its Motorcraft batteries. The company says the after parts industry as a whole is moving in the opposite direction.
The Motorcraft Tested Tough Max battery carries a 100-month pro-rated warranty and free replacement for 36 months, while Motorcraft Tested Tough Plus batteries have an 84-month pro-rated warranty and free replacement for up to 18 months. Ford says most competitors offer a flat 36-month warranty, with some offering coverage for 12 months.
"While the price point for batteries of different group sizes from competitors can be all over the map, Motorcraft offers a family pricing structure that gives installers confidence and stability when counseling customers," says Robert Boss, maintenance marketing manager.

The Women and the Law Program
Since 1984 the Women and the Law Program has promoted the integration of women's rights and gender studies into legal education, practice and doctrine. To foster the study and teaching of gender and international or comparative law, the program expanded to include a Women and International Law Program in 1994.
The Women and the Law Program emphasizes the role of law and legal education in transforming women's status around the world. The program challenges assumptions about the role of women in the family, civil society, and governance in domestic, international and transnational institutions. However, engaging in either academic study or advocacy alone is not enough if the people who make the legal and political decisions that shape women's lives- judges, lawyers and policy makers- ignore the concerns of women. Therefore, the program seeks to influence the thinking of political and social leaders who hold the power to address the legal dimensions of gender inequality. We aim to transform the training of lawyers and scholars so that they leave law school with an awareness of their power and obligation to remove the legal barriers to women's full participation in society.
Our program works at multiple levels to integrate gender into legal education by:
Encouraging the development of feminist legal thought;
Educating emerging legal scholars in gender studies;
Creating supportive networks of feminist scholars, practitioners and activists;
Disseminating scholarly and teaching materials that integrate gender into the study of law in specific contexts.
Our Projects
Comparative Family Law
Gender, Health & Justice
Gender Jurisprudence & International Criminal Law
Interdisciplinary Project on Human Trafficking
Integrating Gender Into Legal Education

You'd think so but actually they are the same size, I matched them side by side, and the Anderson rider being lexan is far far lighter so he's staying on the M5 Cross, no contest. The ARX can bear the weight of the rubber rider as the ARX is twice the weight of the M5 Cross.
The Anderson man measures a scale equivalent of a guy 6'3" in his protective gear and shoulder pads, riding a 500cc MX bike of old, spot on,
The ARX Guy measures a 1/4 scale of a 5'6" fella riding a 250cc MX Bike!
I suppose you want a picture of the riders side by side now don't you.....

Well took the Anderson out today, no rider as not got around to getting him together, also my lipo did not fit so had to use some really old nicads. Now I dont know what you guys are doing to get them to wheelie but mine never showed that it would ever lift that front wheel off the ground but it handles quite well apart from the front wheel going from lock to lock every time it hits a bump talk about tank slappers !! very good slow speed handling and love watching the suspension working just needs more speed, that poor 15 turn motor has to work hard so looking for a brushless motor now, but a good fun model, oh and can anyone help me out with the mega tank slaping
Well if you are runing really old NiCds I'm not surprised it won't wheelie, mine would only just wheelie with brand new NiMh in but the extra weight meant it wasn't as lively as with LiPo in.
As for tank slapping, I guess a steering damper wouldn't go amiss, oh look, there's one on the options list

Ah, that might come in handy then are the option parts going to be available to us? so it looks like most of them wheelie vids will be running on Lipo then ? I guess you could be right about the nicads weight and yeah they are a bit tired, shame its Bank Holiday an Heaths Models are shut or I would be buying a lipo today, what were you running Dez that fits in the bike, my KoKam is just a bit long.

Thought id let you all know what ive done to mine so far. Start at front and work my way back.
Front wheel spacers are now alloy and correct size to eliminate the sloppy play, helps to calm down the headshake.
5000 wt oil smeared on piston and fork tubes for some damping of sorts. also tighten everything up as were quite loose. Also cut 5mm off each plastic spacer to give a little more travel.
Shimmed up the headstock so there is no up or down play, this also helps with headshake.
Silicon tubing over the crashback spring and tighten bolts a little more on upper frame.
NF steering springs cut down so they are 5mm longer than the std items as i think they are too soft to give a decent response time. Still holds down well in the corners without pushing the front though.
replaced the steering rod end and ball as it was quite sloppy.
Trimmed out the battery tray to allow easier routing of lipo cables.
Rear shock is on the lower holes, with an extra 1mm hole using 3000wt oil, feels really smooth and the rear end now doesnt skip over bumps, just floats really nice.
Layshaft spacers made up to the correct size out of alloy to stop side to side play, and gear mesh set correctly.
New bush for lower shock end to eliminate slop and free play.
All weights remove from giro, still very stable but get more steering response.
Rear wheel shimmed correctly in the gyro
Most screws replced for allen screws.
Oh yeah, and a steering damper too. All these mods have made it an excellent off road bike. I can drive it really hard on gravel, grass and loose/rutted soil no problem at all.
Heres a couple of pics

Aside from the allure of the 21-year-old headliner, the Milwaukee date of Miller's Space Migration tour boasted four supporting acts, two of which — Earl Sweatshirt and Chance the Rapper — are among the most hyped up-and-coming MCs of 2013. »Read Full Article(3)

Meditations (edition 2012)
by Marcus Aurelius
Work details
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
"Everything of the body is a river, everything of the soul is dream and vapour. Life is war, and a visit in a strange land; the only fame after death is oblivion."
"Outward things cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree; nor have they admission to the soul, nor can they turn or move the soul; but the soul turns and moves itself alone."
"Everything is right for me, which is right for you, O Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which comes in time for you. Everything is fruit to me which your seasons bring, O Nature. From you are all things, in you are all things, to you all things return."
Some gold in here. Surprising how much is still relevant considering it's nearly 2000 years old. I'd grab a note card while you read it to mark your favorite passages.
Some ranting, but still a good read. Take the writing in context of a successful though dying person.
I like the fact that this man never expected anyone to read the notes he jotted down, and now, a couple of thousand years after the fact, he's the author of a very famous work!

"Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exultation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and Aurelius's own emotions. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years." -- Publisher's website.… (more)
