by Geoffrey Ciani - This weeks 95th edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio featured an exclusive interview with featherweight prospect Randy Caballero (4-0, 4 KOs). He is scheduled to face Manuel Ortega (1-3, ) on October 15 at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. Caballero has had a story book start to his professional boxing career, scoring four first round knockouts in four professional fights. Once regarded as an elite amateur, Caballero recently signed with Golden Boy Promotions. Caballero spoke about his upcoming fight (which will be televised on Telefutora) and his career aspirations. Here is some of what he had to say:
On training and preparations for his October 15 fight against Manuel Ortega:
Its been real good. You know its the last week. Its just real calm training, not that hard training. Just hit the bag, and loosen up, and keep my blood rushing and everything. Getting ready for this fight was a great camp. I had so much fun. We trained hard. I did everything I had to do. I got all my stuff done and Im ready for this fight.
On inspiration to become involved with boxing:
Well Ive been boxing since I was a little kid, probably almost twelve years already. Ive been in the sport with my dad being a boxer when he was smaller, then having my older brother became a boxer, and me growing up watching him and growing up in a gym full of boxers that made it to the top like the Diaz brothers, and all those guys. With me looking up to them and me now traveling around the world fighting for different tournaments and all the shows we have in this valley, it really helped me and paid off. Now its really going good for me with me signing with Golden Boy. Its one of the biggest companies out there now. Being with them and the manager I have, Cameron Dunkin, the team I have with my dad and my brother on my side, I know were going to make it far.
His views on which weight class he believes is best suited for him:
Well Im good at every weight. In this fight Im fighting at 120. Im already at weight. I only walk around at about 125 and the most Ive hit is 128. I feel strong at all these weights Im at right now. If they wanted, I could go down probably to 118 and try to fight for a title and then from there, go on and see what I can accomplish in the sport.
On what he views as his best asset when he steps inside the ring:
I would have to say the hunger I have in me. I want to become someone so bad in this sport and have a name for myself and just become one of the greatest fighters out there and become a Hall of Famer. Im going to do whatever it takes to do that. I know all of the hard work I do in the gym is going to payoff inside the ring. So whatever I learn inside the gym, I take it in the ring. I know its all because I want this thing so much. Thats what gets me through my fights.
On whether he was seeking to end things early in his four professional fights, all of which ended by first round knockout:
Oh not at all. I never worked in the ring asking for a knockout. I never underestimate any fighter, because I honestly see every fighter as dangerous. Everybody has those two hands they can swing, and if you get caught with one of those lucky punches that they throw, and you never know. It could probably end your career and put you out and just shatter your career. I always walk in prepared and safe. I keep my hands up at all times. I dont want to get caught and mess up my career, but I never ask for a knockout. If they come naturally, I am thankful that I have caught the guys that Ive gotten so far and Im taking them out. You know like they say, the faster you get them out the longer your career lasts. So Im not asking for a knockout in this one, but if it happens Ill be thankful.
On whether signing with Golden Boy has given him any added pressure or motivation:
Oh definitely, its a big motivation for me. I honestly think it is the biggest company out there right now because of his name and the fighters they have and how talented they all are. Theyre great fighters in the ring, and thats what Im trying to do. I just want to get a name out for myself and show them that signing me was a great thing they did. I just want to be one of their top fighters.
His views on the upcoming bantamweight tournament:
Ive seen all of them fight. I sparred with Abner Mares. Abner Mares is a great fighter. I helped him spar a couple of times for him getting ready for one of his fights, and I honestly think it is going to be a great tournament. Not having that many people they probably wanted in that tournament, but I know it will be a good tournament. I honestly think youll probably see Abner Mares and Yonnhy Perez again in the finals. Its a great thing. I know that weight class is real hot right now, and Im going to do whatever it takes to get to the top and get my name out there to be one of the top guys in that weight class.
His views on pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao as a fighter:
Manny Pacquiaos a great fighter. That guy is coming from the lowest weight you can think of and going all the way up to the top. Hes making a name for himself. Thats something I dream of doing. Manny Pacquiao, I really cant even explain how good of a fighter he is right now. Hes somewhere where every boxer just dreams to be there.
On whether he worries about being moved up too quickly in his level of opposition:
In this sport you can never be rushed. Ive seen fighters that were pushed to the top way too soon and once they get to the top its too much for them to handle. I honestly believe that with my team with Cameron Dunkin, my dad, Golden Boy Promotionswith them on my side I know for a fact theyre going to take care of me. They take care of all their fighters, and them having me, I know theyre going to take care of me. When its time to get up there theyre going to put me on the spot when its my time. I know right now were just taking it slow, getting my name out there, and taking out the fighters they put in front of me. When its my time to shine, Im ready to step it up and take on whoever it is.

Re: San Diego to Honolulu
Technically I would be AWOL but if I tell them the risks of being late and keep in contact they will not classify me as AWOL.(it is a pain in the ass to do the AWOL paperwork believe it or not) AWOL soldiers are not arrested immediately. A warrant for their arrest is initiated after 30 days of being AWOL, assuming the commander does the paperwork on time.
If I am late and they know the reason then I will just get a slap on the wrist and they will charge me leave days and probably chew my ass. Nothing too bad but I just don't like being "that guy".
I think I will request more days than I need and if I make it back I will sign in early and not be charged all the days I requested. I am rationing the leave that I have built up because I am getting out of the military in a few months and would like to take it all at the end so that I can still get paid while I transition into my new job.

So, I just couldn't wait 2 weeks on another part. It's just a peice of tubing, right? May as well fab something up.
Here's why I'm replacing it:
The old tube appears to be copper and is completely worn through. I'm sure that's what caused my cable to start fraying.
So, I found a piece of thickwalled 5/8" stainless tubing:
Grabbed my handy dandy tube bender:
And put in a radius:
Then, I threaded the end to match the cable end and put her together:
And, on the bike:
The throttle is now silky smooth, and no feeling of anything dragging. That last picture makes it look like the tube is bent a bit too much. I didn't notice that on the bike - only looking at the picture.
I'll have to take a close look at it before I put the tank on. But, I've got plenty of tubing. If I have to build a new one, it's no big deal.
So, I took a $5 piece of tubing and about 30 minutes and saved myself $30 and a two week wait.
I also got the new tire on the wheel and the wheel back on the bike. With any luck, I'll be driving this bad boy this weekend.

The IATA on Monday appealed to the Narendra Modi-led government to slash taxes, restrain private airport operators from levying high charges and relax "excessive" regulations in the aviation industry to maximise India's full potential to generate economic growth.
"You are a great country, a sleeping economic giant. You have great opportunities and capabilities that very few countries have. But unfortunately, the previous administration did not make the maximum use of the hidden Indian potential," Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways who is the President of the 70th International Air and Transport Association (IATA) assembly being held here said.
"I was very touched to hear the speech of Prime Minister Modi when he said that if each Indian takes one step forward, that will be 1.2 billion steps and this really is correct for India.
"And for the aviation industry in India, the potential is so huge that even if you allotted capacity to every airline that is applying to fly to India, you will still have load factors in excess of 80%. "So I would urge Prime Minister Modi's government to look at aviation as a very important tool to generating economic growth in India because it is only aviation that will bring you trade, tourism, in return bring more employment and bring economic prosperity for the Indian people who have upto now been deprived so much economic opportunities that they have in their country.
"I hope this is a very strong message to whoever is listening," Al Baker said. IATA, the trade association for world's airlines, Director General & Chief Executive Officer Tony Tyler said he too had "quite a long wish-list for the new government coming to power in India."
"To share a few, it would be to "stop political interference" in the industry, reducing excessive regulations, slashing of state taxes on jet fuel and to build the Navi Mumbai airport. "I hope to visit India in not too long and perhaps discuss those and other ways (to help the aviation industry) with the new government and we wish the new government every success in maximising the potential of the Indian aviation industry," Tyler said.
They were replying to a question on their wish-list for the new government to develop Indian aviation.

As a white person in the U.S., I am conditioned from birth to see whiteness as safety -- white neighborhoods, white people, white authority figures. My lived experience, my conversations with people of color, and my study of history have shown me over and over that this is a wild and cruel perversion of the truth.
If Muslims aren't "all-American," and if "all-American" is used to describe white women before they convert to a racialized faith, then assumptions about who is "all-American" not only deny 3 million Muslims of their national and cultural identity as Americans, but they deny full Americanness to anyone who isn't white.

Windows 7 Intentionally leaked???

Re: Windows 7 Intentionally leaked???
Like I said, I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I'll leave it at that.
But on topic, the article is full of FUD, when was the last time that something MS was releasing didn't get leaked? They hand out beta access like candy.
I'm glad it was posted on the DT blog; there is hardly any real investigative reporting. They may have interviewed me to give my 2c on the subject.
Every major build of windows has leaked since the dawn of time so it seems (I can't confirm that pre-xp, I don't even think I knew what a torrent file was when I was playing JediKnight II on Windows 98. . . ).
Beta 1, Beta 2, RC1, RTM of Vista (both x64 and x86) were leaked.
So far, seems like every major build of Windows 7 have also been leaked. Build 7000 is just a Beta 1 build. Expect the next leaks to go Beta 2, RC1, RTM. Microsoft has these builds fairly available to anyone with MSDN/MS Beta access.
Oh, also Windows Server 2008 was also leaked.
I really think people are looking at this too hard, this isn't Showtime releasing a crappy rip of Dexter the season premier two weeks before it airs to generate excitement. Its just people leaking Windows because they can.
And there will also be x86/x64 versions (why? I really wish I knew).

|This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2009)
Pølsevogn is a Danish word literally meaning "sausage wagon". These hot dog stands can be found in most municipal areas of Denmark, and even in parks. They are essentially hand-pulled carts with room for one person inside who makes the hot dogs. Sausage-wagon food is popular among tourists and Danes alike. The remarkable thing about them is that they showcase the Danish spectrum of food dressings, such as Denmark's most notable dressing, remoulade and in some places they offer a local speciality.
The immigration and gradual integration of immigrants have also influenced this Danish tradition and resulted in a Halal Pølsevogn being opened in Nørrebro, Copenhagen.
Danish themed Hot Dog Stands can be found in more and more countries throughout the world. 130 pølsevogne exist in Russia alone. Other countries with Pølsevogne include Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and as far away as Singapore. Many of these exist due to large Danish permanent or tourist community. Pølsevogne have also been known to travel with Danish groups to events like the Le Mans 24-hour race.
Some Pølsevogne have made trips to and within other countries, such as a cross-country trip through the USA collecting money for charity and a 2213 km Copenhagen-Paris trip as part of bet with a main supplier of hot dog buns.

Episode 1: The homosexuality debate
In our first episode we take a look at the controversial issue of homosexuality in Pakistan, which is also the upcoming cover story of our Sunday T magazine.
Zarrar Khuhro, editor T-Magazine, offers his analysis on what coming out of the closet (and the dangers of such an act), means for Pakistani homosexuals. In Khuhro's opinion, the prevailing social climate in the country leaves little room for such plurality of sexual expression.
In the face of such social stigma, Tribune blogs desk head, Faria Syed discusses the impact anonymous blogs have on openly discussing gay rights in Pakistan.

Pitching coach Bob McClure ready to "kick ass and win" in Boston
Dec 26, 2011, 11:47 AM EDT
Hired as the Red Sox's new pitching coach last week, Bob McClure said during a radio interview yesterday that his philosophy is to "kick ass and win" in Boston.
McClure also said that he likes the idea of Daniel Bard coming into spring training with plans to compete for a rotation spot, because switching back to a relief workload is relatively painless.
As the Royals' pitching coach McClure worked with both Joakim Soria and Kyle Farnsworth as starters in camp, eventually shifting them to the bullpen with plenty of success. In addition to Bard the Red Sox will also give Alfredo Aceves the opportunity to claim a rotation spot.
- uyf1950 - Dec 26, 2011 at 11:57 AM
I don't understand this comment at all by Bob McClure "…likes the idea of Daniel Bard coming into spring training with plans to compete for a rotation spot,..".
As best I can tell right now the Red Sox are heading into pre-season with just 3 starters in their rotation (Beckett, Lester and Buchholz). Who is Bard competing against? Competing in my opinion implies there is an open competition. There are at least 2 spots open in the Sox starting rotation and aside from Bard and I guess if you want to consider Aceves (who I don't believe is a starter) there aren't any other realistic candidates as of right now for the rotation.
- cur68 - Dec 26, 2011 at 12:16 PM
Hi there UFY, I hope you had a good Christmas? In answer to your query I think, given the way Bard struggles with the strike zone etc, I think he's competing with himself. If this were a Michael Jackson Moment, I'd say he's looking at the man in the mirror and asking him to change his ways…good luck with that, Mr. Bard.
- uyf1950 - Dec 26, 2011 at 12:27 PM
Hello my friend. I had a very nice Christmas. How about you?
Makes sense about it being an internal competition for Bard. I have to say I'm still very surprised that basically we are in the New Year now and the Red Sox have done virtually nothing to address their issues on the field. They still need at least one but probably more realistically 2 starters, a "real" closer and decide what they are going to do with RF. And all of that still doesn't address the fact they have not gotten full seasons out of either Youkilis or Buchholz 2 players they absolutely need to perform above and beyond the call of duty in 2012.
At least that's my opinion.
- cur68 - Dec 26, 2011 at 1:41 PM
My Christmas has been duller than dishwater: I am setting a land speed record for sleeping in. Very relaxing.
If the Sox plan on making the AL East an underdog's paradise, they're going about it exactly the right way. I suspect they'd tell all that they HAVE made substantial changes. Perhaps they feel that by getting rid of "deadwood" like Epstein & Francona they'll be "better" and offset the loss of Papelbon with up and coming internal candidates. They certainly have plenty of talent in Elsbury & Pedroia, but they must be expecting a serious bounce back from Crawford and for Ortiz to never grow old & lose his skills. As for Youkalis, better get him a truss if they plan to get a full season out of him. Things better start happening to shore up that rotation & add some bats soon, otherwise its gonna be a long season of the Boston press eviscerating them next year.
- uyf1950 - Dec 26, 2011 at 1:52 PM
cur68, my friend to quote George Burns "Everything that goes up must come down. But there comes a time when not everything that's down can come up".
It's certainly possible that Crawford will have a better year in 2012 than 2011. How much better is the question.
It's also more than possible that Ellsbury's numbers will come back down to earth. Probably offsetting whatever upside Crawford is able to muster.
But we'll see.
- mojosmagic - Dec 26, 2011 at 12:43 PM
It doesn't matter much because Bobby Valentine was the wrong choice to manage in Boston. Valentine knows baseball but it's always about himself and a he creates a circus atmosphere at every stop. Bobby is the anti Tito who at least tried to keep things quiet in Boston.

Your Mid-A local board: http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/mid-atlantic-states/
Some advice from someone who was once swindled as a kid but now am very knowledgeable with cars.
Step one: Park It, Set Goals and Deadlines-
Do not let that thing move until after step four. What do you want to do to it? When and how are you going to achieve it?
Step two: Forum Lurk, before you even touch that car.-
Part A= As a new member here myself I've spent a lot of time going through the stickies and FAQ sections. I suggest you do too. Ideally, you would have done this pre-buy. Lke I did/ am doing, but we're past that and we're getting into the wrenching.
Learn the lingo too.
Part B= Become one with this site and try to find similar DIY build threads. I.E Exhaust replacement, Turbo leak tests turbo replacement/rebuild, I/C replacement, Engine rebuilding, Brake swaps, Manual transmission rebuild and so on and so on.
Whatever is wrong with your car, someone else has done it.
Part C= Use the search button. Someone has probably run into "that" issue before and posted a thread.
Part D= Reach out to members. This forum is wide reaching, there's probably member close to your location that would love to wrench on a Wagon and down a case of beer.
Or just ask any one of the posters thus far
that have commented tech questions. All of them are veterans. If you'd lurked before buying you would have known this lol
* I suggest going through "zax bug eye build" and any other of zaxs tech posts. I learned a lot from that particular build thread. He goes into depth of what went wrong and why. Also did A LOT of trouble shooting. A very knowledgeable guy.
* Also, you can PM me questions too. Chances are I've, "Read a thread about that." Lol I also own a Saabaru 9-2x( 2.5i) and have been a longtime wrx fan and a longtime wrencher.
Step Three: Revert to Stock-
Seriously, if that idiot put it onto your car, he didn't do it right. I GUARANTEE you that! Research before buying, don't buy the first part you see. Use ebay and Club and other forum market places to buy used when possible. Generally you can find reviews here on aftermarket parts too, when needed.
Step four: Get it Tuned.
Go stage 2. Turbo back exhaust and an EM plug in unit. You're a novice I'd suggest COBB. This right here will keep you satisfied until you finish planning a more ambitious build.
Step Five: Cosmetic.
This is completely up to you, but I liked that earlier posted blue wide body. I thought it was classy as ****. But follow steps 1-4, Unless you want to shell out money for a new engine.
I apologize if I got stuff wrong or if anything doesn't make sense. I'm at work, have 3 hours of sleep and am still hangover... feel free to add a step or parts of a step.

I've seen this swap on forester forums and they opted for full merges and usually paid someone else to do it.
Might be a little more straightforward on an actual impreza though.

I will be using the stock 5spd... while it sucks Ill have to baby it somewhat, I think I can make it last for a few years. So I have a brand new clutch and flywheel ready to go as well.
I have heard both sides on why this is a great idea and why its a terrible one. Ive talked to guys whove done it though and I have heard 0 unhappy they did it. They all LOVE it, and say it was well worth the money and time.
When I plug in the new Speedo will it display the correct mileage?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
That depends on a few things.
1. If the original speedo mileage is digital
2. The new one is digital
3.If stock ECU records mileage and if it's programmed to tell a new speedo the mileage.
On my 2000 Si, it's a no to these. On my 05 9-2x, I believe it's a yes to all of this. Depending if the replacement is OEM.I believe I read somewhere in here that it's aftermarket? What's the brand?
When I plugged in the new one it gave me a higher mileage. Does it read from the computer or does it store it from the car they pulled it from?
I'll check
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Higher mileage than what the broken one told you?

… I'm not convinced by this figure. It doesn't really look like …
Comment on To Love-Ru Momo Velia Deviluke Bikini Figure by Wilhem:
… I'm not convinced by this figure. It doesn't really look like Momo and in all honesty I think the face is ugly.

- Isuca = "Guro + Ero":
Seriously… It's the first episode and it's already splitting from the original work… I'll watch 1 or 2 more episodes and I'll most likely stop watching this altogether, if it's already so much different on the 1st episode I'm not sure I want to see how farther away from the original work this will go…
- Square Enix's Latest: "Not Again!":
Nah, things went downhill since Square Soft and Enix fused.

Too bad it's not moving…

Let me guess, the politicians/police couldn't cancel these events before so now they are sending/making up fake threat letters to cancel these events without raising too much suspicions…

COM surrogate has stopped working
Just finished up getting everything on here that I wanted and I was getting ready to run vantage and 3dmark 06 and I get a "com surrogate has stopped working" error everytime I launch them.
A quick look over google seems like it can have something to do with nero and divix (neither of which are on here) I also can't get the wei to finish, it fails at the end everytime with an error about getting an error from hardware or drivers or something.
All my games are working great, but I'd like to run these just for ****s and giggles.

A search through futuremark's website proved useless, and all I could find was that it may have something to do with the future mark system info dll. Was wondering if anyone has ever run into this problem before.

To ride sand, get your ass off the seat, attack position, keep your ass and weight back, constant throttle, loose grip on the bars, let the front wander how it wants, and steer the bike with the pegs. Dont chop the throttle, and never, ever touch the front brake. The damper will come into play when the front deflects off a rock or rut.
Keep a tube in the front. Excel A60, oversized spokes, HD or UHD tube. I ran a sealed rear wheel for a while and I liked it. I ran all kinds of tires on it, tube type, tubeless etc, and they all worked fine. The downside of running a tubeless rear IMO is that you cant really air it down too much or you'll ding the rim and lose the seal or possibly break the bead over rocks. Another down side is that when the tire starts to get worn and chewed up by sharp rocks it will leak air. If you put in a can of fix a flat to seal it up again, the chemicals will start eating away at the spoke nipple sealant after a while and it will leak through the spokes. However for pavement and gravel roads where I kept the pressure up in the 30's, I like the tubeless rear since flat repair was a 5 minute deal. Although real tubeless rim is the best option if you want to go tubeless IMO.
Yes, the stock forks are under sprung. Some folks simply put in heavier springs, some do the springs and re-valve. I would recommend Superplush suspension in San Fran. James knows the big KTM's and I have been very happy with his work. I left my rear shock stock as it worked well enough for me, but a Superplush re-valve would improve it as well IMO.

Irish DJ, Singer Brings the Beat — More Than 10,000 Songs for Weddings and Parties
By Chris Van Tuyl
Terry McIlroy's Irish roots hit you louder than a note of Van Morrison's music .
"I grew up with him," McIlroy said. "We were in competition. He was a saxophone player at the time. I was a lead singer in another group.
"He left and went to Canada. Next thing you know, he was singing songs, writing songs – he's had tons and tons of hits."
Roughly 10 years ago, McIlroy made the move from Belfast, Northern Ireland, to North America. The beat that started with meeting his wife, Clare, a Covington native, has gone on nicely for the Southaven couple, who own and operate Terry & Clare Wedding DJ Specialists.
"We've done weddings, house parties, children's pool parties – you name it. We've been doing them all over the place ever since I got here."
Terry's musical interests have been around for "a lifetime."
"I sang in a five-piece band, a three-piece band, a one-piece band and then I turned over to deejay," he said. "I sing karaoke as well. We used to do midweek at the Windy City Grille (in Como). We had that place packed."
Performing what is affectionately known as the Terry Mac Disco Show, McIlroy is available for two- or four-hour gigs.
"I make everything fit," he said. "Any kind of music you can mention – from the '50s right up until today. It doesn't matter what kind of music it is: reggae, rock and roll, pop, country western, whatever.
"I have 10,000-plus songs, there's no fee for setting up and there's no fee for taking it down. What happens in the middle is up to the party people."
"He went to sing three songs (at a birthday party in Germantown)," said Clare, "and he wound up singing for four straight hours nonstop."
Added Terry: "And I never repeated one song."
Speaking of, there's a common misconception about the music in his home country.
"It's exactly the same here as what it is over there. A lot of people would be surprised," McIlroy said. "You've got Justin Timberlake here, we've got him over there. When Elvis was singing in the '50s, he was singing over there. Johnny Cash – same story.
"'The Lone Ranger' on TV started over there the same time it started here. All the movies from way back when. John Wayne's 'The Quiet Man' was made in Ireland, So, there's no difference."
According to Terry, there's no replacement for Clare when it comes to helping entertain the masses.
"She plays a big part," he said. "Being a deejay is very, very busy. Some deejays that I watch play a song and then there's a gap in between. That's not a deejay.
"A deejay continues playing music – he doesn't stop. You have to be in control all the time, so when people come up for requests, I prefer they go to Clare."
Added Clare: "I enjoy it. I meet a lot of people. They're always nice."
"That's the beauty of it," Terry said. "Everybody is always friendly."
McIlroy can be reached at (662) 404-4346 .

Article Summary
Strange as it may seem, in the last few years Japan has been home to a fad where cute girls dressed up as french maids star in J-POP, comics, animation, and video games. The distinctive costume has grown so popular that there's a number of so-called maid cafés in Tokyo's geeky Akihabara district where anyone can enjoy the thrills of being served by a horde of hostesses in full outfit. That – to say nothing of Japan's endless fascination with humanoid robots – probably explains Pre-made Me, the latest creation by well-known Japanese roboticist Dr. GIY.

Is this a home project or something that has been made to sell? Cute little sack boy. Can't wait for LBPReplyDelete
Last time I checked, the post simply said it was made by an unspecified relative of one of the people that worked on the video game (as a gift).ReplyDelete
I imagine there will be lots of toys if the game takes off. (I think it looks cute, but I have my doubts it'll actually be that fun to play. Seems like they're relying a bit too much on players making interesting worlds to play in.)
can't wait for lbp, im gonna make so many areas!ReplyDelete

Massey's CEO Blankenship expect to testify Dec. 14
CHARLESTON, W.Va. Investigators say Don Blankenship's retirement as head of Massey Energy won't interfere with him testifying this month in a state and federal investigation of the nation's worst coal mine disaster since 1970.
Blankenship has been subpoenaed to appear in Beckley on Dec. 14 to answer questions about April's explosion at Massey's Upper Big Branch mine that killed 29 miners.
Other Massey employees have refused to testify, citing their 5th Amendment rights.
State mining director C.A. Phillips said Saturday he doesn't see Blankenship's Dec. 31 retirement changing an agreement that he will answer the subpoena.
C. Davitt McAteer heads a special investigation into the April 5 explosion. He says the investigation is about the accident, not Blankenship.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Massey Energy Co. Chief Executive Don Blankenship, the modern-day coal baron who made millions for investors while turning countless neighbors into bitter enemies over environmental destruction, will wrap up his reign as the king of Central Appalachia's coalfields at year's end.
Virginia-based Massey announced late Friday that Blankenship - respected and reviled in equal measure - will retire as chairman and CEO Dec. 31. That will end a 30-year career highlighted by huge profits, violent labor battles, feuds with federal regulators and a 2010 mine explosion that ranks as the nation's worst coal mining disaster since 1970.
A 60-year-old millionaire who rose from obscure beginnings, Blankenship oversaw an ongoing plan to expand the production of Appalachian coal for growing Asian markets, but leaves behind a company badly shaken by the April 5 blast that killed 29 men at the Upper Big Branch mine.
Current president Baxter F. Phillips Jr. is Massey's new CEO. Retired Adm. Bobby Inman, a board director, was named nonexecutive chairman.
"After almost three decades at Massey it is time for me to move on," Blankenship said in a prepared statement. "Baxter and I have worked together for 28 years, and he will provide the company great executive leadership."
Blankenship did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday night.
His abrupt retirement sent ripples throughout Appalachia, stunning even those who might have seen it coming.
"I don't think it's any of my business whether it's good or bad," said Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association. "I've just observed that Don's been quite a leader over the years."
He called Blankenship one of the industry's "most aggressive, intelligent and certainly one of the most outspoken leaders."
But environmental activist Larry Gibson, who has long battled Massey and the practice of mountaintop removal coal mining, said there was one thing Blankenship did best - to his own disadvantage: "He was very successful in bringing the worst publicity to the industry."
"And any industry worth its salt doesn't want somebody like that around."
Blankenship, who has been chairman and CEO since 2000, leaves at a time when Massey's safety practices are under scrutiny by state and federal regulators. Its practices are also the subject of a criminal investigation.

The Commission's order applies the same methodology used for natural gas and oil pipeline return on equity and discards the former one-step calculation in favor of a two-step calculation that uses short- and long-term growth projections.
On June 19, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the Commission) issued Opinion No. 531,[1] which affirmed in part and denied in part an initial decision[2] on the return on equity (ROE) for the public utility transmission-owning members of ISO New England (ISO-NE). In addition, the Commission announced a modification to its policies regarding ROE calculation for electric utilities.
Opinion No. 531 tentatively determined that the "just and reasonable base ROE" for the ISO-NE transmission owners would be 10.57%, which is halfway between the midpoint and the maximum point of a "zone of reasonableness" based on a range of cost-of-equity estimates. The Commission determined that the base ROE should be set above the midpoint because of the unusual capital market conditions and other indicators, including a review of state-approved ROEs, which demonstrate that simply setting the base ROE at the midpoint of the zone of reasonableness would be insufficient to attract capital for new investment in transmission.
The Commission announced a change in its ROE policy for public utilities, moving from a single-step discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology to the two-step DCF methodology used in calculating natural gas and oil pipeline ROEs. In contrast to the single-step DCF methodology, the two-step DCF methodology incorporates both short- and long-term growth rates. The two-step methodology approximates long-term growth rates with gross domestic product (GDP) growth,[3] but the Commission commenced a paper hearing to determine whether GDP is an appropriate long-term growth rate. The base ROE for the ISO-NE transmission owners is tentative until the paper hearing's conclusion.
The Commission also announced in Opinion No. 531 that it will no longer use changes in U.S. Treasury bond yields to update an ROE after the record closes. Because capital market conditions may change between the date the utility files its case-in-chief and the date the Commission issues a final decision, the Commission's practice has been to update the ROE within the zone of reasonableness at the time of the final decision to reflect those capital market changes. The Commission's long-standing practice has been to base this post-hearing adjustment on the change in Treasury bond yields during the same time period. However, the Commission concluded in Opinion No. 531 that there is no direct correlation between changes in Treasury bond yields and changes in ROE. Instead of relying on changes in Treasury bond yields, the Commission announced that it will allow the participants in a rate case to present the most recent financial data available at the time of the hearing, including available post-test period financial data.
