---- — HAVERHILL - Newburyport Democrat Kathleen O'Connor Ives won the state senate seat for the First Essex District with a convincing win over Republican Shaun Toohey of Haverhill, and independents James Kelcourse of Amesbury and Paul Magliocchetti of Haverhill in yesterday's election.
Incomplete returns showed O'Connor Ives with 26,642 votes, Toohey with 17,402, Kelcourse with 3,019 and Magliocchetti with 2,747.
In Haverhill, O'Connor Ives tallied 9,481 votes, just ahead of Toohey's 9,025 and Magliocchetti's 7,292. Kelcourse finished a distant fourth with 318 votes. A total of 27,723 voters cast a ballot in Haverhill, where all but Kelcourse held their post-election gatherings at local restaurants.
"This is a great victory for everyone here as well as for me," said O'Connor Ives, a three-term city councilor from Newburyport upon accepting victory. "We are going to continue to work for more health care, better higher education and affordable education.
"It was a long campaign with a lot of knocking on doors. You have been with me every step of the way, and we will be together in working for a better Merrimack Valley."
Neither Toohey nor Magliocchetti could be reached for comment last night.
Close to 200 supporters filled DiBurro's function hall in Haverhill, and it wasn't until 9:35 p.m. that a cautious O'Connor Ives accepted victory after concession phone calls from opponents.
In an interview after her speech, she said, "One big challenge in the race was getting to know the western part of the district, and meeting the people there.
"Also, there was a short window of time to get ready for the primary, and then another short time to the final election.
"But my supporters were fully behind me, and did a great deal of work. Everyone worked hard and the result was this great victory. This is so exciting."
O'Connor Ives is 35, and she was about the youngest person in the room.
State Rep. Mike Costello, who introduced her at the podium, said, "This is a great moment for the Merrimack Valley. She is from a small city but she energized Newburport and voters across the district.
"She will be a great senator at the state level."
O'Connor Ives outspent Toohey down the homestretch $32,000 to $25,000 in the final two months of the campaign. Magliocchetti spent about $8,000 over the same span and Kelcourse about $3,600.
Toohey, the Republican nominee, is in his ninth year on the Haverhill School Committee and serves on the Whittier Regional
Vocational School Committee; Magliocchetti is a first-term Haverhill School Committee member; and Kelcourse is in his second term on the Amesbury City Council.
The district includes Newburyport, Amesbury, Salisbury, Merrimac, Haverhill, Methuen, and about half of North Andover.
This is the first open race for the seat in a decade. The former senator, Methuen Democrat Steve Baddour, resigned earlier this year to take a job with a private law firm.

JEFFERSONVILLE, IND. (WDRB) -- Jeffersonville, Indiana's mayor was forced Wednesday to address rumors of infidelity and reports of a fight with his wife that happened behind closed doors Tuesday in his City Hall office.
That fight ended with his wife bleeding and the police being called.
"My wife Vicki and I are going through a divorce," Mayor Mike Moore said Wednesday. Court records say Vicki Moore went to see her husband to retrieve a password for airline miles and things quickly became heated after he asked her to leave.
But Mayor Moore insists, "At no time did the incident become physically violent."
That's not what the police report says. Vickie Moore told officers of punching and kicking, saying she didn't know who threw the first blow. She apparently cut her thumb when she smashed a glass frame against a wall.
Police arrived to blood-stained stairs leading to the mayor's office but the city's First Lady was already gone. Moore said Wednesday, "I regret this incident happened and take full responsibility for my involvement. I want to sincerely apologize to the citizens of Jeffersonville and the employees here at City Hall.
The mayor filed for divorce in October after 20 years of marriage.
There have been rumors of infidelity, but when the mayor was asked about that, he replied, "I have not and I will not dignify anymore rumors. If someone has facts and they want to come to a public meeting, then bring it on."
Its been a rocky three months for Moore. In addition to the divorce, he fired the city's communication director and filed a lawsuit against the City Council.
WDRB News asked City Councilman Matt Owen whether anyone on the council has asked Indiana State Police or any other agency to look into the incident. His reply: "At this time, I don't think anyone on the council has been involved in any way."
Neither Mrs. Moore nor her attorney returned our attempts to get comment. The mayor says there will be no charges filed against either party, adding, "I'm satisfied that we're doing good work for the people of Jeffersonville and sometimes you have to deal with people that just want to do the game of dirty politics."
The Moores have three school age children. Their divorce is still pending. A special judge has been assigned to the case.

We were promised more replay review in 2012. No, seriously, we were: I wrote about it right here at Baseball Nation last November. This Ken Rosenthal tweet was part of my article:
New CBA will expand instant replay to include fair/foul and "trapped" ball plays, subject to discussions between #MLB and umpires.
They weren't going to include safe/out calls, but even fair/foul and trapped/caught would have been a good start. Instead, we got... nothing. The issue was shelved until 2013. But some baseball people are still calling for it; Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said it should just be done now, after his team lost a game last weekend in Milwaukee on a disputed call:
"Let's just expand it to the point where if it ends a game," Mattingly said. "A game-ending play. Let's say a double-play ball that you say, 'Hey, that's the end of the game, you called him out, I thought he was safe.' It seems like that could be a play (subject to review)."
The Tigers also lost an extra-inning game Sunday when Bill Welke didn't see Alberto Gonzalez's bunt hit him in the knee -- which would have made it a foul ball; instead, it went for a single, scoring the eventual winning run.
The plays described above are relatively easy to review. Either the winning run scored or it didn't; either the ball hit the batter or it didn't.
What if, though, you were a replay review official and you were presented with this play, which happened in Tuesday night's Cubs/Cardinals game:
The Cubs' David DeJesus was trying to score on a fly ball to right field. As you can see, he never touched the plate. But Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina never tagged him, either. Plate umpire Chris Conroy called him safe. DeJesus got up and began heading toward the Cubs' dugout; Molina got up and started barking at Conroy. While this was going on, DeJesus casually went back and touched the plate.
We don't have replay review. What if it had been in force Tuesday night? What call would you have made? Safe? Out? Make the runner go back to third base? Vote in the poll.
Funny thing, too. Watching this play from left field Tuesday night was Matt Holliday, who was involved in a similar play in a much more important game in 2007. I suppose David DeJesus will never get to make a commercial like this:

A mural dedicated to President Barack Obama is up again for the fourth time near the breakfast klub in midtown Houston.
Artist Reginald Adams and friends gathered at the same spot where his Obama mural has been defaced twice since October 2012.
He first painted the mural in 2008. It has been a fixture outside the breakfast klub, although some are clearly not happy about it.
Surveillance video from October shows a pickup truck pulling up near the mural, and in less than a minute, two men get out of the truck wearing demon masks and smash mason jars filled with red paint on the mural.
Immediately, artist Adams went to work on covering up the damage. Days later thanks to several supporters, a new and updated portrait of President Obama once again graced the wall outside the restaurant ... that is until late last month.
This time, vandals used black and green paint to destroy the image. Once again, Adams cleaned up the image right away, white-washing the wall in hopes of keeping drivers from seeing his art vandalized.
Wednesday, his focus turns to bring Obama back on the wall, painting the mural now for the fourth time.

Lots of variety is what this volume offers! You've got a couple of different fitting rooms, you've got a gym locker room, you've got chicks trying on kinky lingerie in Amsterdam. Then there's yet another beach changing hut (always a firm favorite!). Watch women in all of these places as they carefully strip themselves naked to try on clothes or wriggle out of their damp bikini bottoms. You can actually see the sand stuck in the crack of one girl's ass! These are ordinary girls stripping off just inches away from hidden cameras. Ain't this a great country?

If you're looking for a new challenge on your next trip to the French Alps then you may want to consider swapping your skis for a snowboard, as this will provide an entirely different thrill to anything you may have experienced before. Getting used to a board is not easy, although once you've got to grips with the basics you'll find that it can be just as much fun as skiing, and also lends itself better to performing tricks, jumps and flips. With that in mind, it can be a good idea to think carefully about which resorts to visit, as some are known to be particularly good for snowboarding.
The summer holidays may not seem like the best time to start thinking about skiing, although for those of us who simply can't wait for the return of winter it really is the perfect opportunity to start planning a trip to the Alps.
After all, in many resorts, the ski season begins in the autumn, which means we're now just a couple of short months away from the return of the downhill fun.
Ski trips can be as exhilarating or as relaxing as you want them to be, with some people choosing to go hard and spend as much time as possible on the slopes, while others prefer to take it easy and pamper themselves in a mountain spa. However you decide to spend your holiday, it's important to remember that the conditions in the Alps can put your body under more strain than it is normally used to, which is why you'll need to make sure you take care of yourself.
If you're planning on heading to the Alps for a ski break this winter then you'll have lots of options in terms of the type of skis you can hire. Firstly, it's important to note that the length of the skis you choose will have a pretty significant impact on the way they feel once you're out on the snow, although styles also have a big part to play.
So, if you're looking for a new challenge or experience on your next winter sports holiday then why not go for a totally new type of ski that you've never tried before? One such option is Telemark skiing, which is growing in popularity around the world.
Whether you're planning on going skiing for the first time this winter or are a regular visitor to the Alps, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to make basic mistakes when it comes to organising a day out on the pistes. From taking the right gear with you to structuring your time, there are all sorts of things that need to be considered before leaving your chateaux in the morning, yet it's surprising how often people seem to overlook these key factors in their eagerness to get out onto the slopes.
It's currently the height of summer, which means it's time for your annual family holiday to some sunny destination. However, before you know it, the trip will be over and you'll be back at work, reminiscing about all the amazing times you shared with your loved ones during those few precious weeks. The thought of having to wait a whole year for your next vacation en famille can be a little depressing, which is why now is the perfect time to start planning a winter ski trip with the kids.
Sitting in the heart of the amazing Portes du Soleil ski area, the popular resort of Morzine offers some of the best mountain sports and Alpine views in all of Europe. From skiing in the winter to biking, hiking and climbing in summer, there really is no end to the list of activities that can be enjoyed here, and the breathtaking surroundings make everything that little bit more special.
Sitting in the heart of the famous Trois Vallees ski area, Courchevel provides access to the largest network runs in the entire world, with over 600 km of piste for visitors to explore, while more than 40 cable cars and a whopping 68 chair lifts help to transport skiers around the area.
However, aside from all this, what makes Courchevel really stand out from all other ski resorts is the fact that it is so multi-faceted, and is in fact made up of five separate villages, each of which offers its unique attractions and atmosphere. So, if you happen to be staying in the area, be sure to check out what's going on in each of these villages.
Apart from the great skiing on offer, one of the best things about heading to the Alps in winter is the chance to sample all the amazing food that the region is so famous for. From French fondue to Swiss chocolate, there are loads of indulgent delights to tantalise your taste buds here, although it's important to eat sensibly if you want to get the maximum enjoyment out of your time on the slopes.
Zermatt is one of the world's top ski destinations, while also being something of a paradise for mountain bikers, climbers and hikers in summer. Part of its appeal lies in the fact that it is surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery in the Alps, with the iconic Matterhorn being the star attraction.

Urmston teacher saved from 'silent killer', carbon monoxide poisoning, by friend's tagedy
3:00pm Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News By Kate Banks, Reporter
AN Urmston teacher whose close friend died suddenly due to carbon monoxide poisoning nearly suffered the same fate recently.
And Lucy Chant's experience has spurred her to increase her efforts to raise awareness of the 'silent killer'.
Her friend Katie Haines, who was 31 and had recently been married, got into the bath after a long day at work in February 2010.
As she was getting out it is believed she was engulfed by a cloud of carbon monoxide, collapsed, hit her head, fell into the water and drowned.
Her husband Richard returned home shortly after and was unable to save her.
Lucy, 33, who teaches at Wright Robinson College in Gorton, could have suffered the same fate on November 1 if she had not had a carbon monoxide detector installed following Katie's death.
Lucy said: "On the Thursday morning of half term, I got out of bed and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast, as I walked into the kitchen, our carbon monoxide detector started going off.
"It showed high levels of CO being given out by our boiler - it was reading 600 on the digital detector.
"If we didn't have an alarm, we could have been dead within 3 hours."
Because of what happeened to Katie, Lucy and her husband Dan knew the best course of action was to open all their windows, turn off the boiler and evacuate the house.
However, many people do not know this, which is why Katie's family and husband set up the Katie Haines Memorial Trust following her death, in order to promote the importance of installing carbon monoxide detectors.
They recently made a film to demonstrate this, which can be found at youtube.com/watch?v=T9_auaoxHzY&feature=share, more information can be found at katiehaines.com.
Lucy said: "If it wasn't for Katie's story, we wouldn't have had a CO detector.I believe she saved my life that day."

JOEL ROSARIO, TWIRLING CANDY, WINNER: "Mike (Smith) tried to send his horse to the lead and get a clean trip early. It was tough to get my horse to relax for a little bit. Going to the half-mile pole he relaxed really nice for me, which is what I wanted, and I just followed the horse on the lead. He's a good horse. I followed the horse on the lead, and my horse just did unbelievable. My horse just took me there, and I let him do what he wants to do."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, TWEEBSTER, SECOND: "No excuses. He ran really well. I was in perfect position. I was really comfortable. The favorite horse was making a move from half a mile and I had to stay close to him but he took off. I thought for one second in the stretch my horse would make a good move. He was getting close, but the winner, he just took off again. He's (Twirling Candy) a nice horse."
JOHN SADLER, TWIRLING CANDY, WINNER: "He's such a nice horse. My job is just to be a good steward and take good care of him, because he's a natural runner. There was no concern (going from seven furlongs to a mile and an eighth). My only concern is that I do a good job, because I really feel this is the best horse in the country. He's a really good horse, so I feel a strong sense of stewardship, that I do the right things with him and pick the races carefully. I just don't want to make any mistakes because he's that good. I beat up myself a few times for the time he got beat, maybe he wasn't quite his best that day . . . But I just think if I do the right moves, he's just a really top horse . . . He looked really comfortable today. He looked really non-stressed in the winner's circle and that's really key for him."
NOTES: Sadler said the Grade I, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap at 1 ¼ miles on March 5 would be next for Twirling Candy. Winning owner Jenny Craig is from Rancho Santa Fe.

What type of workstation do you have for it?
At the moment I have a 3.1 i5 iMac, 16GB RAM, 1TB 7200RPM, 1GB VRAM, but my new one should be coming in early January. 3.4 i7, 3TB Fusion Drive, 32GB RAM, 2GB VRAM, and I'm working off of SSD thunderbolt drives so I think I'll be alright. I've messed with some of the Cinema DNG files and even on my current setup it seemed to handle it just fine, so I'm hoping it'll be pretty snappy with my new setup. But if that doesn't work I may buy a Mac Pro or build a Hackintosh.
Thanks for the info. It will be really interesting to see how the new iMacs handle editing RAW in DaVinici Resolve. I am considering this setup myself. keep us up to date with how it goes!
I'm pretty sure it's going to scream. My current setup scored around 9500 on Geekbench, I'm expecting the new one to score at least 13000. Even my 2.3 i7 Macbook pro with 256GB SSD/16GB Ram scored 11,500, SSD's alone make a huge difference.
I also use the Lacie Thunderbolt to eSata adapter so I can hook up at least 2 of my drives via eSata, that thing is absolutely worth the couple hundred bucks. Also the Sonnet Thunderbolt Expresscard Adapter is great when coupled with the dual CF card reader, absolutely screams and you can copy two completely full cards in a couple minutes, also highly recommended.

Investigators are trying to figure out what caused two cars to go up in flames in Henrico's West End.
It happened in the 10000 block of Windbluff Drive, which is not too far from Mills E. Godwin High School.
Emergency operators received a call around midnight. The person said that a nearby home was on fire.
When fire crews arrived, they found heavy fire from behind a home. They then discovered that the home was not on fire, but two cars were.
The fire did not spread to any of the surrounding homes, and no one was hurt.
Investigators believe the fire started in or around one of the cars. However, the exact cause of the fire remains unknown.

Jared Rice, originally of Seneca, Pa, has been selected by the American Respiratory Care Foundation as the recipient of the William F. Miller, MD Postgraduate Education Recognition Award. The award recognizes qualified respiratory therapists who are pursuing an advanced degree with the ultimate goal of leadership in health care.
Rice graduated with an Associate Degree in Respiratory Care from Venango College of Clarion University in 2009. He accepted a position upon graduation at University Hospitals' Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. He works in the Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Rice is currently pursuing a master's degree in business administration with a concentration in both general management and international business at Tiffin University.
After Rice gained a few years of experience he embarked on a medical mission trip with the International Children's Heart Foundation. The primary goal of the trip to Najaf, Iraq was to assist with free surgeries on children with heart defects. Through education and training, the Foundation hopes to establish self-sustaining pediatric cardiac surgery programs at the local hospitals there.
Rice stated that, "receiving recognition for this award out of all the qualified respiratory therapists in the United States is a surprise. It is a significant accomplishment, but it is not an endpoint. I still have many goals I am working to achieve and I plan on continuing my education. Education is the tool of a successful future."
"It is wonderful to see our graduates perform outstanding service in their chosen professions," said Professor Renee Bloom, Chair of the Department of Allied Health. "Our students are committed to their fields and always impress me with how much dedication they put forth in growing professionally."

Apple Still Seeing Strong Mac Sales Growth Amid Easing iMac Constraints
We have analyzed domestic NPD retail data for the months of January and February which suggests Mac sales were up 14% y/y through the first two months of the March quarter. As we have previously discussed, we believe the Y/Y improvement is driven by Apple beginning to improve supply of iMacs as the company noted the product was constrained in the December quarter. CEO Tim Cook noted that iMac sales were down 700k units y/y in December (we note iMac sales are likely far less impacted by iPad, thus the vast majority of the y/y unit decline in December was likely supply).Despite the strong performance, Munster is maintaining his estimate of an overall 5% decline in worldwide Mac sales for the quarter, even though Apple's worldwide numbers have frequently outperformed the U.S. data gathered by NPD.
On the downside, NPD's data shows a return to Munster's expectations for the iPod, with the two-month timeframe seeing sales down 16% year-over-year compared to Munster's projections for a 17% decline. iPod sales had been up 3% in January.
While strong Mac sales are a good sign for Apple, the increasing dominance of the iPhone and iPad in the company's product portfolio means that strong Mac sales have less of an impact on Apple's overall financial performance. In the most recent quarter, Macs accounted for just 10% of Apple's revenue, compared to 20% for the iPad and a dominant 56% for the iPhone.

Stupid iMac is so thin who would buy it?!
No Mac Pro? Apple will meet its demise!
/snark off
Blade MacPro too.
We have long since needed a Mac that could replace all the utility purposes commodity PC's are installed into. Premium price and quality okay! TCOO is very low. It might need a parallel and serial port option! Okay if it immediately converts to the internal USB/PCIe bus. :D
Sure it does.
The high end iMac is about half as much as the current Mac Pro... and it's almost on par with the Mac Pro from 4 years ago. The gap will be widened significantly once the new Haswell Mac Pros are released. Now please troll elsewhere.
The little skinny retina notebooks have better benchmarks than old big clunk mac pro for most meaningful parameters.
Do the math.
My MacPro performs over twice as fast as a top spec-ed iMac or RMBP... Over twice as fast! Do the math yourself little boy...
In a few years will just have ipad or iphone that connects to external display and keyboard and will kick current Mac Pro's a$$
And with GPU-like computing and next generation Xeon CPU's, a Mac Pro would keep the performance threshold to a next generation mobile device, performing realtime raytracing, multilayered 4k stereo video at 48 fps and sophisticated fluid simulations. Technology development does not stop at the low-end.
So then why even use a Mac Pro? Don't need a Mac Pro for iOS development, Final Cut X is no longer the best video software...
What is benefit of using a Mac Pro vs a Linux or Windows machine? Mac Pro never has support for the best graphics cards.
Just an honest question. Never understood why a Mac Pro would be the choice for true power users...
Frankly I'm fine with anything that doesn't run iOS, but since you asked....
These days it's mostly about the ability to dump more stuff inside the case. I use an rMBP with 16GB RAM, I do max it out on occasion running VMs and such and if I could use a desktop, I would have a MP with 24GB to avoid that. I also have two network drives, one for storage and the other a Time Capsule, and they are both slow. If I could have an extra couple drives in the case, I totally would. What do I use my machine for? CAD and software development mostly, meaning I'd never fully take advantage of the MP's dozen cores. That's why so many people, myself included, would love to see a midrange headless Mac. Something not too powerful or expensive we can just chuck a few extra parts into.

AEI's Pethokoukis Slices, Dices, and Destroys WaPo's Romney-Outsourcing Story
If this were a prize fight, it would have ended at the end of the sixth round in a knockout. In a post at the American Enterprise Institute's blog this afternoon, James Pethokoukis, who previously toiled at U.S. News and Reuters, made mincemeat out of Washington Post reporter Tom Hamburger's Thursday Mitt Romney-Bain Capital hit piece ("Romney's Bain Capital invested in companies that moved jobs overseas").
Just sit back and enjoy the pummeling. Since Hamburger didn't land any blows, I'll only deal with the punches Pethokoukis landed in explaining "Romney Reality" while refuting six "WaPo World" whines (italics are in original):
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
Sorry, Washington Post, Romney didn't get rich moving U.S. jobs overseas
... the WaPo seems more than a little fuzzy about the basics of how international business works — and the difference between outsourcing and offshoring.
(Example 1) ... What CSI (Computer Software Inc.) actually did was provide U.S. software developers with technical support and sales. Example: It provided domestic outsourcing — which is different than overseas offshoring — for call centers and help desks. As far as its international business goes, CSI was reseller of U.S. software in European markets. In other words, they helped distribute U.S. software around the world.
(Example 2) ... overseas call centers in the WaPo story (relating to Stream International Inc.) were based in Europe and Japan, and serviced international customers of U.S. companies in their local languages.
(Example 3) ... what Modus Media did was help companies like Microsoft and IBM sell their products internationally. Products destined for American consumers were manufactured here at home.
(Example 4) ... GT Bicycles had overseas suppliers before Bain invested in the company.
(Example 5) ... (printed circuit board manufacturer) SMTC wasn't even acquired until months after Romney left Bain Capital. Is Romney running for president or is Bain?
(Example 6) ... (computer chipmaker and tester) Chippac was purchased in March 1999, a month after Romney left Bain Capital. Prior owner was Hyundai, a South Korean company that already had factories in Asia at the time of sale. So buying a company with foreign factories is the same, apparently, as "shipping jobs overseas," according to the Washington Post.
The Post threw six Hamburger haymakers at Romney, all of which wildly missed the mark. Only one arguably represents an example of outsourcing, and the former Massachusetts governor wasn't even in the ring at Bain when the relevant management decisions were made.
The ignorance on display (or the blind determination to disseminate falsehood regardless of the consequences, which sadly can't be ruled out) should be embarrassing to the Washington Post's managers and shareholders. One questions whether either is smart enough to acknowledge how Pethokoukis shredded their Mr. Hamburger.

Could Alistair Overeem be headed out the UFC's front door?
By Dana Becker on August 18, 2013
UFC president Dana White was non-committal in regard to the future of Alistair Overeem Saturday night.
Overeem was knocked out for the second straight time, as Travis Browne landed a perfectly-placed front-kick to his chin in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 26.
Earlier this year, the former Strikeforce heavyweight champion failed to put away Antonio Silva, allowing "Bigfoot" the chance to KO him instead. The loss knocked him out of the No. 1 contender spot he earned following a win in his Octagon debut vs. Brock Lesnar in 2011.
"I have no idea," said White, when asked about Overeem's future during his post-fight media scrum. "I don't know."
White added that things like that are not made the night of the fight, but you would have to think "The Reem" and his large salary are becoming more of a nuisance than an enjoyment at this point.
Prior to his recent losses, Overeem (36-13) had won eight straight, including victories over Lesnar and Fabricio Werdum.

SBERG says:
Yes – 2 loses against guys he was "supposed " to beat in a row.
Big paycheck every time he fights.
No roids, no endurance….Glass chin.
No – Name value..for now.
Agree or Disagree: 6 6
Screenplaya says:
I actually hope he stays, but at a cheaper pay scale. He is the prototypical HW, he KOs you or you KO him. I am okay with that. Clearly, he needs to work on his cardio, to make up for the lack of steroids. Maybe he an Rua can work together on their cardio, as they really stand out as punishing fighters who get tuckered out.
Agree or Disagree: 3 2
moosebaby02 says:
Hmmm the only guy he beat was a fake fighter and now he can't get out of the first round. Name value or not the has been guys cut for less
Agree or Disagree: 3 4
darth_irritable says:
Sorry Moose, but that's revisionist at best. Lesnar was legitimately badass until Diverticulitis destroyed him. He was never the same after that, but for a while there, he was a worldbeater.
Agree or Disagree: 5 2
AlphaOmega says:
I don't like the guy, but I think they give him one more chance. If he loses again though I don't see how they wouldn't cut him with three straight loses, plus all the trouble with drug tests he gives them
Agree or Disagree: 3 1
SBERG says:
Money is going to be a huge factor in this….Is he still worth the promotional investment? Do you really want a gatekeeper pulling down the check he's getting? He's not going to headline cards anymore…that myth is busted….So again the dollar will speak heavy on this…
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
hindsightufuk says:
heavyweight is still the weakest division in the entire sport, based on that i would hate to see Overeem cut. Appreciated he most likely gets paid a huge amount, but i'd much rather be watching him fight other top fighters and losing than leave the UFC and fight pretty much no one else. not like BFC will pick him up at that cost, outside of those two there are only a few decent HW's knocking around in Europe, but thats it
Agree or Disagree: 4 0
MickeyC says:
I would not be shocked if he got cut, but hope he gets another fight. I agree with the coments above, with the depth of the weight class and the fact that he bangs. Man, he and Brown were throwin down. Thats fights I want to see. But ya, Dana gona be on his Ass for sure.
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
hindsightufuk says:
also if the ref had stopped that fight when Browne was curled up taking shots to the dome i dont think many would have complained, he wasnt doing much, and mad props to him for fighting through it.
i'm also a little surprised there isn't anyone saying it was an early stoppage on Overeem, guy deserves to be beaten about the head a little more before the ref stopped it i thought
Agree or Disagree: 2 0
raker says:
Overeem was getting koed by LHW's is the past. Unfortunately, the juice doesn't do anything for ones chin
Agree or Disagree: 2 1
SBERG says:
Reem was gassed at that point and took a kick to the chin that dropped him like a sack of potatoes , then took two big hammerfists that he made no defense of…..He was out. No need for any early stoppage talk. But your right about if they woulda stopped it before when Browne was turtled…..I thought they were going to but Browne showed some serious heart there…
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
MCM says:
They gave Herman 4 losses in the UFC before he got cut and he had two drug suspension in that time. Yes Reem comes with a higher price tag but he still fucking sells. Have him fight Gonzaga or Schaub to get him back on track then he can still pull in PPV buys with fights against Big Nog, Mir, Barnett, Nelson, hell you could even throw him back in with Hunt at this point and he can still complete his trilogy with Werdum. Two losses in a row suck but it's two losses to two top 10 fighters. There's still a place for him in the UFC.
Agree or Disagree: 5 0
SBERG says:
I agree MCM……But and this is a big but, if he gets tattoo'd by Gonzaga or Shaub…..Game Over….
Agree or Disagree: 3 0
MCM says:
Ha. You said big butt.
seriously though, if Reem loses to either of those guys he Should be released. But those are the types of fighters he was taking on outside the octagon when he supposedly looked indestructible, so I think he's got the skills to win against them.
Agree or Disagree: 2 0
SBERG says:
I think we have to keep in mind that outside the octagon and for that matter outside the US Reem is taking substances in one form or another too. I said in another thread that Reem fighting in the US and Reem fighting outside the US are two different fighters…..for a reason and no it ain't horsemeat, then again it might be depending on what the horses were shot up with before slaughter…..

If Reem fights Gonzaga we may witness the first ever UFC fight where both guys gas out in the first round and never get off the stools.

He got knocked out by like the 20 attempt at a front kick. One more loss and hes cut. Give him mark hunt.
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
Richard Stabone says:
I understand that Reem's last two fights have been embarrassing losses. Combine that with his failed drug test and hefty price tag and, yeah, there's no question he's been a disappointment so far compared to the hype he brought with him.
But that being said, I think alot of people need to pump the brakes a bit. Getting rid of Overeem would be ridiculous for a few reasons…
1) Despite the losses, he's been very competitive. He won the first 2 rounds of the Bigfoot fight comfortably, before things shifted in the 3rd (kinda like Okami vs. Boetsch). And this past weekend he had Browne in a world of hurt… similar to Carwin vs. Brock, the fight could have easily been called but credit the ref for letting the action continue. In each of those fights Reem basically snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Meanwhile, a guy like Mir hasn't won a single round while losing his past two fights and I don't recall much noise about him being on his way out.
2) Reem now has 3 fights in the UFC and all have ended up with fireworks. Dana tells us over & over & over again this is a huge factor in the UFC's decision making. Even more so than wins & losses in many cases.
3) As other comments touched on above, this is the HW division we're talking about. Again, in a division where Mir can lose two straight fights without mustering any sort of attack whatsoever, and still hang on to a top-10 spot, there's certainly plenty of room for Alistair Overeem.
Agree or Disagree: 3 0
SBERG says:
I agree with everything you say Richard except about Mir…..He was 14 – 5 in the UFC before the 2 losses in a row….He's earned his free pass. Other than that your spot on with your post…
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Niv says:
Richard I agree 100% with what you said including Mir. Yes Mir is 14-5 in the UFC but in his losses he's been beaten handilly and also appears to possess that glass jaw, but as Richard correctly states this is the HW division and and getting ko'd should always be expected.
As for skills, the Reem is on the upper level in the division without a doubt. What cracks me up is how many people are concerned about how much money he makes. As far as I'm concerned the more he makes the better. I like the idea that some fighters are making close to what they should get, considering the price they pay and risks they take in this job.
Agree or Disagree: 1 2
Angry Mike says:
That was a great fight, but a strange one. Browne survives the onslaught against all odds (I thought he was done for) and Reem gets ko'd by a front kick that Browne had repeatedly thrown and landed and that Reem had no apparent plan to block or counter. Really strange.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
SBERG says:
He was gassed….Nothing left in the tank…I coulda hit'em with a swifter feather duster and he woulda fell…..
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
AlphaOmega says:
I'm probably in the minority, but I don't think the final front kick was exactly like the others. It looked to me that Browne saw he wasn't going to block them, so was like screw it and threw the last one with a little bit more.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
SBERG says:
Mir lost to a Dos santos in a world title fight. Then lost to a Cormier who himself has the skillset to be a Champion. Mir has been in 5 Title fights in his career winning the belt twice(Once outright, once with the interim tag attached). He was the first person to KO Big Nog and then the first to sub( break his arm) Big Nog in the rematch. Doing all of this mind except for the first title after suffering a horrific motorcycle accident that should have ended his career altogether.
And Reem did what in the UFC? Beat Lesnar after two stomach surgeries from which Lesnar never should have fought after the second. Got a gift wrapped title shot and blew it by testing positive. Came back and got KO'd by Antonio Silva. And now got KO'd by Travis Browne. Both fights proving that once you even so much as fart near his chin he's going down. That makes him a upper level fighter? Ummm NO!!!
The only part you were somewhat correct about is the money he makes.Sure…anyone should make as much as they can, more power to them but the point of the matter is how the money being paid out is worth the fighter UFC brass is getting in return. This is what I said in the first post about name value. Yes Reem is a name but that shine is wearing off bigtime. Can he turn it around? For his sake in the UFC he better.
I don't believe so but others think he can. Next fight, if he gets one will tell all we need to know….He wins, he stays. He gets KO'd again and he's done. I'm leaning with the latter.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
SBERG says:
Meant to sat " Doing all of this mind you" up there…lol dang typos.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
SBERG says:
Not in the minority. I watched it a few times. Travis knew Reem was toast and he unloaded the kick. It was solid.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Rich S. says:
I still think Overeem is a great fighter and he's capable of being champion… just not in the UFC. If he wants to compete with these guys, he has to improve his stamina and defense. I'm not really a fan of Browne, but he fought hard and got the job done, and there are plenty of other cats willing to do the same if you come into the octagon with an open chin and an empty gas tank.
