Examining the UFC Fighter Contract: Both Sides of the TalePosted on May 16, 2013, 12:31 PM by Mike Drahota
Recently the UFC released their much talked-about but unknown fighter contract. Fighter pay has been a touchy subject concerning MMA for some time, with most thinking that fighters are vastly underpaid when compared to boxing. Lorenzo Fertitta offered some explanation of this discrepancy while unveiling the contract. It appears to be a pretty specific set of provisions for UFC fighters. Let's take a look at some of the main points.
Fertitta initially spoke up with a clarifying statement to explain that the UFC does not work like other major professional sports:
"First and foremost, we absorb 100 percent of all production and marketing costs associated with the event. The NFL gets a license fee from FOX. Even boxing gets a licensing fee from HBO. Those media entities then roll in and operate the entire production. They do all of the marketing. So those expenses are not borne upon the actual league or entity. In our case, we televise the entire card. There's over a thoUSAnd people who get paychecks when we do these events. It's a massive, massive undertaking." – courtesy of Bleacher Report
The owner has a good point here, as he is bankrolling the entire operation himself. Still, coupling the pay-per-view revenues with other licensing is obviously big business for the UFC. Fighters do have to sign their likeness away for all promotional needs, something that has been controversial in the past:
2. Fighter hereby grants to ZUFFA the exclusive worldwide right to use, display, disseminate, edit, reproduce, print, publish and make any other use of the name, sobriquet, image, likeness, voice, persona, signature, and biographical material of Fighter and all persons associated with Fighter (collectively, the "Identity"), in any medium in connection with advertising, marketing, exploiting and promoting the UFC brand and each Bout and the exploitation of all rights pertaining thereto as provided herein and all rights to each Bout electronic and other (the "Ancillary Rights" and, collectively with the Promotional Rights, the "Rights").
This is one of the many extensive articles put forth by the contract. Rather than posting all of them consecutively, I'd rather pose the question asking whether this signing away of so much to Zuffa is fair to the fighters. True, their fame is most likely due to the large amount of exposure they would garner from fighting in the UFC, and maybe it's a small concession to make for most fighters. In any case, they need to get as much exposure as they can, because they can be fired for losing any single MMA bout at any time, as explained by Article X of the contract:
d. Fighter is not declared the winner of any mixed martial arts bout (whether promoted by ZUFFA or not) by the Athletic Commission or official authority having jurisdiction over the bout
The UFC fighter contract does seem to be quite the ironclad proposition for fighters, but after all, it is the biggest promotion in MMA, and the sport would most likely die without it. Fertitta also noted that the UFC has created 70 millionaires to this point.
While the argument as of late has focused on fighters not being paid enough, there is the instance of non-declared bonuses and back-end revenues based upon pay-per-view buys. It appears from the contract, that as long as you keep winning (preferably impressively), you will keep your job. Pretty cut-and-dry when you look at it like that. And although MMA is growing fast, it still has many miles to go before it can be grouped with professional baseball, football, and basketball.
There's an argument to be made for both sides, as you could say that the fighters are enjoying the fruit's of the world foremost mixed martial arts promotion, while others would say that fighters deserve to be making much more declared salaries as their purse. I tend to believe that some may deserve more at times, but again, we don't know of any locker room bonuses handed out behind closed doors. Fighting in and of itself is a bit cutthroat as a sport obviously, so it really doesn't come as a surprise that the fighter contract comes off that way.
What are your thoughts on the UFC fighter contract? Do you agree with Fertitta's focus on them putting on the entire show, or is that non-circumstantial given the amount of money the events bring in? Should UFC fighters have to sign their likenesses away in the contract? Does it even matter? And is the UFC's firing policy too strict, or do they truly need to trim a burgeoning roster to keep the talent the best it has ever been? The fighter contract raises many debates on the current state of MMA negotiations, speak up with your comments below!

One thing I've noticed about fighter's pay that everyone likes to gloss over when complaining about how little the they make is that it keeps going up. Look back on the wikipedia pages in the UFC events and just 5 years ago the minimum pay to show in the contract was only $3000-$4000 and now it seems to be $6000-$8000. I'd say that's not bad doubling fighters pay in five years. Would it be better if we could put another zero on those figures? Of course, they certainly deserve it. However, I don't think Dana/Lorenzo are misrepresenting the costs of putting on a show and how well the lower end fighters get paid especially relative to undercard boxers as much as everyone seems to think they are and as much as everyone likes to say that the UFC would be nothing without these guys but the reality is, unless you're a top 10-20 fighter, there's three other guys not in the UFC, probably just as good as you, that could take your job and 90% of the fans wouldn't know the difference [citation needed].

Fertita is a billionaire for one and when he hires 1000 employees he does it to get a 10,000 % return on his investment. (you get the point)
he is entitled to becomes super wealthy but so are the athletes who make his organization what it is.
What he is really saying is that he has 100% control ! But he makes out that the UFC are the victims having to produce something entirely. the reason it is produced 100% by UFC is for complete control, dominance and better profits. So you have to dismiss the "not for profit message he tries to sell off". They produce because they have billions of financial capability along with super rich billionaire Arab partners.
Nike hire thousands of people and yet they sell t-shirts for $50 that were produced in a sweat shop overseas for 60 cents.
The fertitas never get onto specifics because fighters are underpaid. Ask a question about fighter pay and you get told how many employees the company has, how much debt the UFC had when it first started...Everything is divergence tactics.

Couldn't be more accurate.
Great freakin post.

I think their minimum pay is fair but the problem is guys who are locked on to that pay.
Ian McCall being on minimum is a joke but then you get fighters who ae brought in to see how good they are and it turns out they are not UFC level, those guys should only be getting that minimum wage.
I think shorter fight contracts is a much fairer way or have a clause in them saying with good performances you can get a raise
They tried to do that with Cyborg. Tito said, they wanted 3 fights. UFC wanted 10!
But there is the flip side, look at Brandon Vera. lol How many free tv fighters get $200,000 to show up for a fight with his record?
Evan HoloberSharp3Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Both true.
However, I'd say any person main eventing a fight in front of 5 million people on TV should get at least 200k to show.
Evan HoloberCoolWeakSharpFunny
Also, he's only been getting 70 for a while.

Some fair points on here. I think some fans don't necessarily take issue on what pay fighters are on, but rather disparities like James Toney and other fighters who get paid manyfold that of other fighters who are training their heart out trying to make it MMA while they just have to open their mouth and play the 'heel' to get mega bucks.
Evan HoloberSharp1Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
The championship policy of the contract automatically renewing after winning a title, the clause about signing away all rights, and one that wasn't hit on about the promotion keeping the right to void a contract whenever it sees fit are terribly harsh to fighters.

I can understand why Dana keeps pay on the down low. Look at other sports. NFL is a good example from the 70's to now. it's been insane. One big factor was the press getting access to their pay. Suddenly, everything changed. I happen to have a job where my pay went up very quickly. I don't make millions. But the day my mom found out my salary, she decided she didn't need a part time job for extra money anymore. I couldnt imagine what would happen if I made a quarter million 2-3 times a year and everybody in town knew that.
When fights get cancelled, or various reasons and the fighter can't fight due to no fault of his own. Thats when i see them getting the base public pay. In private I've heard fighters talk about it all the time. They make more from bonuses. Its like tips at a bar. Your pay is to make sure you never go home empty handed. But if your a good bartender, you bulk of your take home is your cash tips you earn the night off.
Many fighters have stepped forward and disclosed the pay vs bonus ratios they take home. The bonuses are the real money. It's just private.

It's been nearly four years since Ford and Microsoft introduced SYNC to the world, and since then nearly every major OEM has been playing catch-up – including the planet's largest automaker. For Toyota, that ends today with the introduction of Entune, a new integrated multimedia system that uses the driver's Net-enabled and Bluetooth-equipped smartphone.
For anyone familiar with SYNC or the Connected systems recently introduced by BMW and Mini, the list of available applications and features includes the usual suspects. Entune comes equipped with search functionality provided by Bing, along with streaming audio from Pandora and iheartradio, restaurant booking through OpenTable and show times and ticket purchasing through MovieTickets.com. Real time traffic, weather conditions, fuel prices, sports scores and stocks are all user-customizable, while Bing Maps handles navigation duties and a text-to-speech system reads off text messages.
Additionally, Toyota has equipped Entune with a new voice recognition technology which the automaker claims is one of the most advanced conversational systems on the market. Entune also integrates with Toyota's existing Safety Connect telematics system, which handles everything from collision notification to roadside assistance.
As for availability, Toyota is only saying that Entune will work with "most smartphones and feature phones" and will be coming to select vehicles later this year. We'll be pumping Toyota's reps for more information when we hit the ground in Vegas later this week, and expect our first impressions of the systems soon. In the meantime, hit the jump for the official details and a 1999-rendered animation of the Entune in action.

In Bush's Farewell, a Self-Portrait of Decisiveness With Few Apologies
Spending little time on failures in his farewell speech, Bush portrayed himself as a resolute leader.
It was perhaps the most personal of his many goodbyes. And in the process of giving his official farewell address last night, President Bush offered Americans the final image of himself that he wants to etch in their minds: the resolute commander in chief, decisive in fighting terrorism, determined to stick by his principles, and largely unrepentant even over decisions that went wrong.
By his own definition, his presidency will forever be defined by the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11," Bush said. "But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. And I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe."
In the key passage of his address, he referred to what he considers his greatest accomplishment. "America," Bush declared, "has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil."
Reading carefully from a TelePrompTer, Bush also issued two warnings:
- "While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. Our enemies are patient and determined to strike again. America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never let down our guard."
- "In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger."
Bush, who will leave office Tuesday when Barack Obama is inaugurated, also touched on many themes that have become familiar in recent weeks as he has given a series of speeches and interviews, and one news conference, to discuss his legacy. He said, for example, that he still believes America must confront evil around the world; that his administration had made progress on many fronts, including taking prompt action to stop the current financial meltdown and fighting AIDS in Africa; and that great strides have been made in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He dealt only minimally with his mistakes and failures. "Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks," he said. "There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I have always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions."
Bush delivered the 13-minute speech before a gathering of family, friends, advisers, and well-wishers in the ornate East Room of the White House, site of many state dinners and formal events. Recent presidents have preferred to give their farewell addresses from the Oval Office, speaking directly to the cameras, with no audience.
Bush has said repeatedly that history will vindicate him and that he will eventually be seen as a wiser, more prescient leader than he is given credit for today. But his standing with the public remains very low. The latest Gallup Poll finds that 61 percent of Americans disapprove of his job performance, while 34 percent approve, mostly fellow Republicans. This is almost as grim as Richard Nixon's ratings after he resigned in disgrace in August 1974, when Nixon had 66 percent disapproval and 24 percent approval, Gallup said.

Texas Ghost Towns
Texas Ghost Towns - Ghost Towns in Texas
Over the years, many towns have sprung up across Texas. Not all of these towns survived. Today Texas is littered with "Ghost Towns," each of which add a little to the legend and lore of the Lone Star State.
Ghost Towns of Texas
Dozens of Texas Ghost Towns, complete with time to visit information, driving suggestions and a cursory history of each.
Cryer Creek
Once a bustling little town, Cryer Creek is yet another victim of being bypassed by the railroad. Although not technically "dead," the population of Cryer Creek has been less than 20 for over 30 years.
Dodge City
A real "Old West" town right here in Texas. Although only two cabins remain, Dodge City is still the site of 1800s-style gunfight re-enactments.
Fort Griffin
Once used to offer protection to North Texas settlers, Fort Griffin is now a state park maintained by Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Once part of the rowdy "Old West," it is rumored a gunfight ultimately "killed" Helena.
Once a leading port on the Gulf Coast, Indianola was ravaged by two powerful hurricanes in just over a decade. As a result, the remaining residents moved inland, leaving Indianola to the tides.
Spanish Fort
The origins of Spanish Fort date back to Spain's early attempts to colonize what is now Texas.

The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races mark the end of the international flat racing season, with four Group 1 events contested on Sunday afternoon over the turf course at Sha Tin under weight-for-age conditions, before a crowd in excess of 51,000. HKJC Executive Director of Racing, Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges said, "It's the best international race meeting we have staged in 8 1/2 years. Fantastic racing and the figures were very good with an increase of 27% in attendance on last year and a 9.6% turnover increase."
The showcase event of the day is the $2.6 million (all purses converted to US) Hong Kong Cup (G1) at about 1 1/4 miles. Pride, the superb French mare, rounded off a fantastic career with a highly emotional victory as the 5-2 favorite. The Alain de Royer-Dupre-trained 6-year-old hung on by a short head in a thrilling climax from Admire Moon and will now be retired to broodmare duty. Her jockey, Christophe Lemaire, came wide into the straight travelling well and when he asked Pride to quicken, she swept into the lead to win by two lengths. It looked as if the chestnut mare had her rivals tamed but then 10-1 Admire Moon uncorked a withering late burst and Lemaire had to summon every last effort from Pride to scrape home in front, completing the trip in 2:01.60 over good-to-firm turf. Last year's winner Vengeance of Rain was third in the field of twelve.

Manufacturing Innovation
Fraunhofer USA
Fraunhofer Center for Manufacturing Innovation (CMI)
CMI, working jointly with Fraunhofer CMB, has developed a fully automated, scalable "factory" that uses natural (non-genetically-modified) green plants to efficiently produce large quantities of vaccines and therapeutics within weeks. Such a rapid vaccine production facility will play a crucial role in addressing and containing future pandemics and emerging biological threats.
This first-of-a-kind, plant-based vaccine factory takes advantage of plant viral vector technology (developed at CMB) that enables production of specific proteins within the leaves of rapidly growing plant biomass. The factory's robotically tended, custom engineered machines plant seeds, nurture the growing plants, introduce a viral vector that directs the plant to produce a target protein and harvest the biomass once the target has accumulated in the plant tissue. Traditional methods of vaccine production can take many months. This plant-based technology enables rapid, large scale production of vaccine material in a cost-effective manner. It has the potential to revolutionize how biological materials are manufactured.
The factory was designed to be time, cost and space efficient. It has the capacity to grow tens of thousands of plants in one batch. The plants are grown in multi-plant trays that are used to handle and transport the plants to the different processing stations. To automate the process, robots glide up and down a track, tending the plants – delivering trays from the lighted, irrigated growth modules to each processing station at the appropriate time. In order to quickly produce large quantities of vaccine material or other protein-based medicines, such as antibodies, in compliance with cGMP, (Current Good Manufacturing Practices), it was necessary to develop a consistent, repeatable process. Even though the process of making vaccines from plants includes many aspects of traditional horticulture such as growing, watering and harvesting, the entire process was automated using techniques found in industrial type processes. This enabled quick, safe, and cost-effective scale-up from a few milligrams in a laboratory setting to the many kilograms that would be required in case of a pandemic. The resulting process is faster, less expensive, safer, and does not require the sophisticated culturing or fermentation necessary in the current vaccine production processes. This will be the first cGMP facility for plant-based protein production.
This unique, plant-based vaccine factory resulted from a three-year collaboration between Fraunhofer and Boston University. "This is a perfect example of coupling engineering expertise and scientific advancement to cost-effectively meet a societal need," remarked Robert Brown, president of Boston University and a chemical engineer. "It is a model for collaboration that we strongly believe in on our campus, as they do at Fraunhofer as well."

Get a Better Night's Sleep and Help Gain Back The Weekends!
A lot of BlackBerry User's found value in the last BlackBerry 101 lecture, where we went through the steps of How To Take Notes While on a Call. It's a simple thing to do, but unless you explore your BlackBerry's menu options you may never discover it as it's not necessarily a function that is readily intuitive to all.
Likewise goes for the Auto On/Off settings located in your BlackBerry Options. It's not that Auto On/Off is hidden on the operating system - it is very easy to find; rather, it just seems to be one of those settings the eyes tend to passover and avoid. At least that was the case for me for literally 2 years. Keep Reading to learn more about Auto On/Off.
Turn Me On and Off
Auto On/Off allows you to set a time for both weekdays and weekends for when you want your device to turn off and then automatically turn on. It's a simple feature, but for us hardcore CrackBerry Addicts, if used properly, it's one more step on the road to controlling our BlackBerry addictions (err..not that I think I have a problem).
I tend to reply to emails I receive anytime and any place, and this often means 3:30am when I turn over in bed and wake up to see the little red light blinking. I also tend to leave my profile set to normal when I go to sleep - I have been woken up by my BlackBerry Messenger notification tone more times that I can count by friends overseas who forget what timezone I'm in (it's ok though as I do the same to them). I thought about and have tried leaving my BlackBerry out of the bedroom, but I have trouble falling asleep if it's out of arm's reach. I just feel like something is missing. It wasn't until I finally discovered Auto On/Off for myself that I got back to having the uninterrupted sleep I had before discovering BlackBerry.
The secret? I set my BlackBerry to Automatically turn off about 30 minutes later than my "bedtime". This way I have my comfort
blanket berry close at hand and ready for action, but as I slip into my Zzzzz's the device turns off. No Blinking Lights, No Calls or Instant Messages coming through. Come morning my BlackBerry automatically powers back up and I'm well rested and none-the-wiser to having been separated from my device.
For those whose BlackBerry use is pure business (and you're starting to get annoyed by it everytime it blinks as it means you have work to do), try setting BlackBerry hours for yourself. Have it turn off a little earlier on weekdays, and turn on a little later on weekends. Not everyone will have the luxury of doing this (depends on your job situation), but if there are days when you can muster it, give it a try.
Auto On / Off - Step by Step
Until Next Time
I hope you found this lecture useful. Auto On/Off. It's simple, and it works! See you again soon!
BlastOff Mar 4, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I use my Curve as my daily alarm clock. Right now, I have to remember to change my profile to "Phone Only" before beddy-bye. I assume the alarm clock will wake it up too? What about incoming calls?
Does anybody know of a program that will switch profiles based on the time of day? That would be the hot ticket.
hey BlastOff there is such a program that will switch profiles for you. it has a lots of features, it is called "BlackBerry Profile Scheduler" and they sell it hear on this lovely site. make sure you check out the demo before you drop $16.
Iain Barclay Mar 5, 2008 at 4:38 am
The latest version of Ringo has a "Do Not Disturb" feature which will silence calls and alerts overnight and at weekends (if you like!) and still allow your alarm clock to ring through...
Its in the CrackBerry store, and a free trial is available - http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=16489
Team Ringo :)
Tom D. Dec 30, 2008 at 9:25 am
I activated the Auto On/Off feature about a month ago on my BB Sprint 8830, but can not disable it. Both weekend and weekday fields are set to "Disable" (and saved), but it continues to power on at the specified time. I even set the on and off times to the same value, but to no avail. (Shades of Colossus!) any suggestions will be appreciated.
Ron R. Apr 22, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Did you find a fix for the Auto On/Off feature problem staying set even though it shows disabled? I have one doing the same thing and I even did a wipe and it still stuck that way?
Anonymous Mar 5, 2008 at 8:13 am
I just turn it off and it turns back on with my alarm. So much better then my Treo. I had to download a separate application to do that.
It's a great feature.
naviwilliams Mar 5, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I liked this feature. But, don't use it anymore. I don't use it because when I recevie emails after it comes on, they are all labelled with the time that they JUST came in. Rather than the actual time they were sent.
A shame really...
I cancelled my land line many, many years ago and have used my bb as my main line. So, I can't turn it off completely in case a family member calls in an emergency or something. I put it to vibrate mode when I go to bed because I get too many facebook alerts during the night! But maybe I should just turn it on to Phone Only at night. I go to bed at different times, so I can't set it at a certain 'bedtime'. I think Phone Only will work better than Vibrate and stop any emails and alerts. My alarm still goes off in the morning even on Vibrate. I love finally having an alarm that only goes off on weekdays and not weekends. Why don't more manufacturers build alarm clocks with this setting?
Anonymous Mar 6, 2008 at 11:10 am
I'm already using it. However, I just ordered the Seidio 2600mAh Extended Battery (you know ...the one for BlackBerry 8300 Series - with 140% more power than that the standard battery). As for my addiction, I'm already over the cliff...and hanging on by a several fingers. I must say, it's a very cool view:)
I am an IT professional and the purpose of the Blackberry is to keep in check with the 80+ servers I need to manage and monitor. I really forget sometimes how many people use BB for personal use and has driven the device to a whole new location. So even though your article is great as an IT professional this is not an option for me.
What I have done is used a program called Message Alerts 2.1 that gives me the ability to set rules like "If message Subject starts with 'abc123' then go off" this way I can silence my BB at night and only hear the message that I need to get. Spam is one of the biggest reasons I required this as I was being woken up by spam messages that were coming in at 3 am in the morning.
I think with any addiction there is software to help us all. I love my Curve but I love my family more but it also allows me to balance both. I am able to get emails when on call and look for what is important in less than 3 seconds. This saves me from spending 30 minutes at the end of the night away from my family checking them and sorting what is.important.
smartme Mar 17, 2008 at 1:08 am
On options on my Blackberry 8703e I don't find no Auto on/off so this site was not helpful to me.
devilish19 Jul 28, 2008 at 3:45 pm
hey whats the theme you're using that tells you the percentage of your battery life like that? In fact, does anybody else know where I can find a good "battery status" theme/program?
len_sole Dec 22, 2008 at 4:44 pm
The phone only is a good profile to use.
I was wondering though. Can the auto off work while on a call? I tried it once but it didn't work. I tend to talk to my girlfriend at night on the phone. On my old phone I would just leave it on all night (we have Rogers to Rogers). But I find the BB heats up pretty badly if in a call for so long. Does anyone know if the auto off feature overrides the call? or if I can somehow get my bb to do that?
dolphina70 Jan 10, 2009 at 12:41 pm
I thought that when i have it on Phone only I don't receive emails? This isn't the case though - I am trying to set my BB so I don't receive emails when i am at the office but when I am away I do. Any suggestions?
gdberry Feb 8, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Hi, this is a great tip but I use my crackberry as an alarm clock during the week. Will it still work if I set it to power up about 30 minutes before the alarm? Thanks!

I would like to sut off the email alerts at night but not my phone calls in case of a emergancy.

I actually have a question as opposed to a comment. Does the Auto On/Off feature work when the Storm is in a holster where the magnet puts the unit to "sleep"? My question comes from the fact that for the last two mornings, my blackberry battery was completely drained after it was in its holster. I didn't turn it off myself thinking that it would turn off automatically in the holster.
Thanks for any insights.

I am also interested in trying to turn my 8330 curve to phone only at nite. can anybody help me on this please.
Nell4620 Oct 11, 2009 at 10:06 am
I'm so new to BB I must be missing something here, but what about Bedside Mode? I use my BB as my alarm and set Bedside Mode to only put through phone calls...no more other alerts during the night.
Busy...OnTheBlackBerry Nov 8, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I love this feature. It affords me the ability to have the BB act as an alarm clock (with different "wake-up" times for the week and weekend). More important, it gives both my husband and I a full night's sleep without the continual beeping. I also like having the ability to override this functionality if I want to use the BB after it's "go to sleep" time. All I have to do then, is turn it off and it'll wake me up at the pre-set time.
annasam Feb 1, 2010 at 7:18 pm
thanks Nell4620, as i was reading the comments and questions i was wondering why no one use bedside mode, it works great for me

Those of us who were at Riverton Parke High School's baseball diamond April 8, 1995, will carry the memories of that sad Saturday to our graves.
I had been assigned by Mark Bennett, the Tribune-Star's sports editor at the time, to cover the annual Banks of the Wabash Classic tournament.
As the skies darkened and rain started to fall, North Vermillion led Rockville 4-3 in the bottom of the fourth inning in the championship game. While action continued on the field, I retreated to the concession stand for cover.
Thunder could be heard in the distance, but I probably wasn't alone in dismissing it as a non-threat.
Keep in mind that I don't usually write in all caps, but I'll make an exception here: I WAS WRONG!
Out of nowhere, a bolt of lightning struck closer than I've ever seen in my life. Needing a few seconds to figure out what happened, I eventually realized the North Vermillion left fielder had been hit.
His name was Kirk Gentrup, a 16-year-old sophomore who happened to be the starting point guard and best player on the Falcons' boys basketball team.
Gentrup was pronounced dead later that day and I ended up writing a front-page death story instead of a routine baseball game story for the Sunday sports section.
I've reflected on the tragic events of that day often since 1995, but not nearly as often as Kirk's father Ken Gentrup.
I officially met Ken under more pleasant circumstances a few years later when he became girls basketball coach at North Vermillion. He served in that role for six seasons, guiding the Falcons to one Class A state title and one Class A state runner-up finish.
For years, through good times and bad, Ken Gentrup kept a journal, never forgetting his fallen son.
He had considered composing a book about Kirk and the rare circumstances of his death, but he didn't get around to it until this year.
On April 8, 2010, Ken began putting his memoirs into book form. With the help of North Vermillion graduate and Danville (Ill.) publisher Shaun Kilgore, he recently completed his project of love.
Kilgore said the official release date for "Heaven's Point Guard: The Kirk Gentrup Story" was Friday.
A 216-page, eight-chapter hardback with a jacket cover featuring a close-up photo of Kirk's face, the book can be purchased online at www.foundershouse.com, www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. Cost is $20.
"I think it'll be an easy read, but a tough read, particularly for those who knew Kirk," Ken Gentrup told me this week. "I think it turned out exceptionally well. Shaun did a great job with it."
"I think we did pretty well with it," said Kilgore, who owns Founders House Publishing.
"I think we expressed the main points he wanted to get across."
A public book-launching party is scheduled for 6 p.m. next Friday at Rivercrest Golf Club in Covington. Ken Gentrup — now 60, running an antique store in Danville and living part-time in Covington — will be available to sign each book purchased.
Kilgore said other book signings are likely to take place in the Wabash Valley in the next few months.
I haven't read the book yet, but I plan to do so soon. One chapter that sounds like a must-read is titled "Four Days of Hell." Ken said it starts with him taking the morning bus ride with Kirk and his teammates to Riverton Parke and ends with the burial of Kirk.
"It bothered me to write it sometimes," Ken Gentrup admitted, referring to the entire emotion-filled book. "So I had to step away for a while."
By the way, if Kirk Gentrup were alive today, he would be turning 32 next month.
Hard to believe.

Kouji Wada - Butterfly (extended with the Piano, Theater, and Full versions)
This song is what I liked the most about my rewatching Digimon Adventure back in June (plus I just wanted a longer version of this song I wish we got here in the States), so I whipped this up. Started with the piano since I thought it'd flow well into the theater version. Singable translation I wrote up here, if anyone's curious.

Johnson, 59, of Los Angeles has been employed at CSUDH since 1990. She was a lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Nursing from 1995 through 1996, and an assistant professor in nursing at Mount St. Mary's College from 1980 to 1986 before her current capacity at Cal State Dominguez Hills.
Johnson was originally
appointed to the board in August 2002 by Governor Gray Davis. Since then,

Why are Private Tuition getting so Popular?
His promises of being an ex-GEP pupil, anex- a National University of Singapore GEP instructor, a Nanyang Polytechnic trained physiotherapist, 'double mathematics major' a NIE postgraduate diploma holder and graduate are not true.
This event reveals the tuition fixation with parents shelling up to for households queuing to consider entrance examinations to qualify for tuition centres that are well-known and lessons outside the college.
So why is there this fixation with private tuitions?
The school fall asleep in class because the issues will be reviewed by their private tutors with them anyhow. One private coach says that his pupil even requested him to compose an essay before giving it in to reproduce! This unhealthy reliance on private tuition has induced some instructors to question if the community schooling is not overly expensive, thus causing parents (and the culture at-large) to go for granted.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
In NFC North, Packers and Vikings tread carefully
At the same time the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions are stocking up on free agents they hope will help vault them past the Packers in the NFC North, the Packers and VIkings standing pat for the time being.
The philosophies of Packers GM Ted Thompson and Vikings GM Rick Spielman are pretty much the same: the off-season is won in late April not in March.
At the combine in February, Spielman talked about his draft-and-develop commitment:
"I'm not a real big believer in spending in free agency. We're always going to try to build through the draft and continue to do that. Because I think that way you maintain a roster that can be competitive year in and year out. Not only on the field but also from a financial standpoint of staying within the cap and looking at the overall cash.
"I think you have a lot more success when you sign your own players as unrestricted free agents."
As of today, the Vikings and Packers both rank in the top half of the NFL in salary cap space. After trading WR Percy Harvin and making several other cap moves, the Vikings have $22 million of cap space. The Packers, after reducing Johnny Jolly's salary by $1.8 million, have $18 million of cap space.
The Vikings have much more work to do than the Packers in building their roster, especially after losing their second-best player, but it doesn't mean they won't be aggressive in filling a couple of spots when free agent prices go down. But paramount this off-season is hitting it big in the draft where they have four of the first 53 selections, including two first-round picks.
With 11 picks overall, this could be the Vikings' ticket to sustained success.
The Packers, meanwhile, are playing free agency cautiously and waiting for the prices of WR Greg Jennings and RB Steven Jackson to drop to what they see as an acceptable level. They're going to use their salary cap space on locking up LB Clay Matthews and QB Aaron Rodgers to long-term deals.
The Bears jumped into free agency feet first by signed LT Jermon Bushrod to a five-year, $35.9 million deal and TE Martellus Bennett to a five-year $20 million deal. They have filled enormous holes on the roster, but they will only be good deals if both players live up to their salaries.
Plus, they are going to have to manage their cap carefully as they move forward.
The Lions also have gone on a spending spree. They most recently signed RB Reggie Bush to a four-year deal and DE Jason Jones to a three-year deal, the values of which have not been revealed yet. But as of Monday, the Lions only had $6.68 million worth of salary cap space and that did not include re-signing CB Chris Houston to a five-year deal.
On paper, both the Bears and Lions have improved themselves. If they do well in the draft, they may make enough progress to move to the top of the North. It just would be wrong to count out the Packers and Vikings because they're not making a big splash in free agency.

Looks like the Bears have adressed two major deficiencies with their signings. They have a new coach and they can't expect him to win the division without filling some of their personnel holes first. Yes, as the article points out, they will have some cap issues to deal with, but at least they are making an effort to improve at the right spots. The division will be even more challenging this year and I hope TT makes us stronger where we need it too.
With the Vikings parting ways with Harvin and before that Sid Rice if they don't land Jennings or another top flight wide out what are they going to do other than draft for need in the draft? They almost have to offer Jennings way more than he is worth because they backed themselves into a corner. I wonder if they have a plan B at all.
sorry, tom but did you say "it would be wrong to count out the packers"?
that's not wrong.
that's lunacy.

The Road Ahead
John Burki, known to many as Captain Jay, rides up on his bike to one of the pavilions on Gulfport Beach with a cheerful and welcoming attitude on Wednesday.
"Little by little, I'm getting myself back together so I can go back to my boat," Jay said.
Captain Jay was released from the Bay Pines Hospital on Tuesday and has been tracking down his items and getting things in order to fix up his boat Promise. Just one week ago, the now floating sailboat, was stuck on Gulfport Beach. Jay says Tropical Storm Debby grounded his home in June and after several failed attempts to tow it out into the bay, a local sailor took action and helped organize a mini "army" to get Jay's boat off the beach themselves.
"What this community did was fantastic. (Steve Smith) knew exactly what he was going," Jay said.
Local sailor Steve Smith heard about Jay's situation in July and rallied about 50 volunteers on August 1st at the Gulfport Beach. Together, they literally waded in waist and shoulder deep water to push the boat out.
"Everything has been a blessing," Jay said.
Jay was not able to participate because he was recovering from a broken jaw in the hospital.
Jay has taken the time to share his gratitude and story with Gulfport Patch in the attached video interview.
A Fresh Start
Volunteer Coordinator Steve Smith says he took charge mainly to get the boat off the beach. Smith said he had several reasons for dedicating his efforts to this cause. He didn't want the City of Gulfport to be forced to remove it and spend money to do so. He also didn't want to see Jay end up on the streets.
"I had a genuine concern for the man himself, I don't want to see him abandoned," Smith said.
Smith says he's also concerned for Captain Jay's well being, citing possible issues with alcoholism.
"I hope he gets a fresh start and takes advantage of the opportunity and becomes a more responsible, boater (and) pet owner. He has a lot of people caring about him. If he's willing to accept that, he can start over and maybe has a chance to become a more responsible person, that's what I'm hoping."
Smith has shared other concerns, reasons and special thanks on Cruisers Forum online.
Jay says there's no need for concern. He's been sailing for more than 50 years and hopes to fix his boat, get settled again and head out in the open water with his dog "Dreamer" and cat "Cocina". Jay says both animals are being cared for by a friend.
Update: Thursday, 10:20 a.m.: When asked about his dog's condition, Jay explained that a concerned community member and acquaintance took "Dreamer" to the Gulfport Veterinarian for medical care. He said Dreamer was due to see the vet before Debby hit. According to Jay, Dreamer is deaf and only understands hand signals, he says the dog has a problem with his eye that he was born with and says Dreamer has allergies to certain foods.
"He was fed the wrong food and he broke out. He's on an anti-inflamatory drug now," he said.
He understands that people have donated funds to the Gulfport Veterinarian for Dreamer and says he's thankful for the help. In the meantime, he says Dreamer is staying with a friend in town.
Editor's Note: We did not hear back from Gulfport Veterinarian regarding this story.
Although Jay is optimistic about his plans to return to his boat, Smith says the boat is in bad shape. "It has some major, major work to be done. I won't call it derelict but it's near that condition."
Citations and Compliance
Captain Jay says the Gulfport Police Department cited him several times for having the boat on the beach. The fines add up to nearly $2,000. Jay will appear in Pinellas County Court on August 16 to address the first of many tickets.
Jay says officers have contacted him about the condition of his boat and he hopes to repair it as soon as possible. However, major improvements will likely take several months to complete. The boat does not have an engine or sails. His first priority is to examine the boat and repair the sails. He estimates that it'll cost about $10,000 for repairs. Jay says a donation page has been set up if anyone is interested in helping him with the cost of fixing his boat. The website is www.gofundme.com under "Grounded in Gulfport."
Editor's Note: Gulfport Patch did not hear back from the Police Department regarding this update story. We will update this article once we hear back.

TheTimesTribune.com, Corbin, KY
By Ronnie Ellis / CNHI News Service
Sen. Mitch McConnell now has a 2014 Republican primary opponent. Louisville businessman and millionaire Matthew Bevin on Wednesday announced he's taking on McConnell who he said has been in Washington too long.
"Mitch McConnell has been in the U.S. Senate for nearly 30 years," Bevin told about 80 or supporters in the state Capitol. "This is not about Mitch McConnell personally. This is about his long, long, long career as a professional politician."
The investment manager acknowledged that taking on McConnell is "an uphill journey," and that a party's Senate leader has never been defeated in a primary, but said now is the time and place to do it because McConnell has lost touch with Kentucky.
McConnell's campaign manager Jesse Benton said Tuesday Bevin's candidacy would be little more than a nuisance, a comment Bevin eagerly took on Wednesday.
"This is going to be the biggest nuisance he's ever had," Bevin said.
On Wednesday Benton responded with a statement, which didn't mention Bevin.
"Mitch McConnell is Kentucky's greatest advocate and he fights his heart out for our commonwealth," Benton said. "Mitch is working hard to bring all Kentuckians — Republicans, tea partiers, Independents and conservative Democrats — together to stand against the liberal Obama agenda in Washington. We are grateful for Mitch's broad support as we move forward to victory in November of 2014."
And just outside the Capitol Rotunda, state Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, waited to give reporters a rebuttal on McConnell's behalf.
Kentucky would be unwise to replace the man who has fought the policies of Democratic President Barack Obama with a "rookie Democrat or a rookie Republican," said Thayer, echoing comments McConnell has made about prospective opponents. He said Bevin's candidacy "is just jousting against windmills."
Bevin claimed he received threats and offers of inducements to persuade him not to run, but those entreaties "were utterly ineffective." He would not identify anyone by name.
Both campaigns were attacking the other with television ads Wednesday.
Bevin ran an ad saying McConnell has been in the Senate too long and has lost touch with Kentucky. It accused McConnell of voting for "higher taxes, bailouts, debt ceiling increases, congressional pay raises and liberal judges."
McConnell was up with his own, entitled "Bailout Bevin," accusing Bevin of accepting $200,000 in federal assistance for a family-owned Connecticut company destroyed by fire and for delinquent taxes.
Bevin reacted testily to the charge of tax delinquency.
"That is an absolute falsehood," Bevin said, saying the tax liabilities were accrued before he took over and then later paid the back taxes. "But I have come to expect as much over the past 30 years as from mudslinging Mitch."
Bevin, 46, was accompanied by his wife, Glenna, and their nine children, four of whom they adopted from Ethiopia. The New Hampshire native was introduced by Jenean Hampton, President of the Bowling Green-Southern Kentucky Tea Party and he has been endorsed by several Kentucky tea party groups.
McConnell has earned the support of a couple of national tea party groups and this week hosted a meeting of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus.
But Bevin said McConnell's attempt to grab the mantle of the tea party won't work. He said McConnell is part of a Washington elite; has voted nine times to increase the federal debt ceiling; and has failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which Republicans call "Obamacare."
He said McConnell has demonstrated "an insatiable, unending support for pork barrel spending" and "voted to raise his own pay at least five times." Bevin called for an end to earmark spending which he characterized as "the dirty, filthy grease that allows bad legislation to pass." He also criticized McConnell votes on the Patriot Act and immigration.
He wouldn't say how much money he expects to raise or how much of his personal wealth he is willing to contribute but he said he will have enough to run a credible campaign.
Bevin is hitting McConnell on some of the same issues as Alison Lundergan Grimes, the likely Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, especially McConnell's nearly three decades in office and votes to increase his own pay.
Thayer said Bevin's candidacy "makes Democrats happy." It forces McConnell to turn his attention from Grimes to Bevin and forces him to expend at least some of the $9.6 million in cash he has on hand to combat a fellow Republican rather than Grimes.
Bevin has never run for office before. He was an officer in the U.S. Army and moved to Kentucky in 1999, working with National Asset Management. According to his official biography, in 2008 Bevin joined his family-owned bell manufacturing company — Bevin Brothers — in Connecticut. That's the company, which accepted federal assistance and faced the delinquent taxes cited by the McConnell campaign.
Bevin became president of the company in 2011 and "paid off all the company's debts and back taxes, modernized the business model and saved more than 200 jobs," according to the biography

I've shopping Serena & Lily for nurseries and children's rooms for years so I was very excited when they expanded to adult sized bedding. They didn't just expand on the linens though. You can now buy furniture, paint, pillow, rugs, and more! For those who don't have a designer and need a little help, you can shop by room which gives you the entire scheme or if you're more advanced, you can just shop by item. They also offer custom upholstery and even sell fabric by the yard. I have been thinking about buying some new linens for my own bed and the Aqua Gobi Embroidered Sheets are calling my name. They are also offering free shipping on orders over $99 until July 5th. Happy Shopping!
