continued While the fire devastated the community, it also became a rallying point.
"The school system of Ticonderoga was dealt a staggering blow last Thursday morning when the magnificent new high school building in Fourth Street (now Calkins Place) was swept by flames at a loss of nearly $200,000," the Ticonderoga Sentinel wrote in an editorial after the fire. "Undaunted, however, Ticonderoga will build anew...Ticonderoga has suffered a tremendous blow, but its residents and school authorities have not lost the greatest of all human attributes — courage."
Work to repair the high school began almost immediately. The goal was to have the school open for classes in September. That didn't happen. Some students were able to return to the building in January and the high school was completely re-opened March 4, 1934 — five days before the one year anniversary of the blaze.
In less than a year Ticonderoga's "proudest possession" was fully operational.
At graduation ceremonies in June 1934 students and faculty were honored for enduring the difficulties of the fire.
"This year the graduates and faculty may feel that they have triumphed over severe hardships and difficult handicaps to close out the school year with such a splendidly impressive record," the Sentinel wrote June 28, 1934. "Hampered because of curtailed class schedules due to the reconstruction of the new school, the commendable results obtained are truly remarkable."
Bill Dolback, president of the Ticonderoga Historial Society, said the Ti High fire was major event in the community's history. The school was constructed in the colonial revival style as a tribute to the United States centennial after a long and sometimes heated debate about the best-possible location.
"We've always taken pride in our school system," Dolback said. "Education has always been at the forefront throughout the history of the community."
Ticonderoga's first school was constructed in 1792 near Fort Ticonderoga, Dolback said.

So, why can't the next (or more accurately, the current) tech boom be Internet diaries? Why can't the user base precede the business model? We all laughed when Amazon went quarter after quarter, growing its customer rolls, but never showing a profit. Like the old joke, Jeff Bezos seemed to be claiming that, while he was losing money on every sale, he would make it up in volume. We aren't laughing now.
So, let's say the blogosphere is the tech boom we've been waiting for. If true, we can probably assume that most of the larger trends that affect all tech booms will obtain here.
One of these is the 80:20 rule. That is, 80 percent of all blogs out there will likely die in the next 18 months. Of the 20 percent that remain, the 80:20 rule will again apply, with just 20 percent actually becoming viable, profitable businesses, while the others limp along. I'll go one step further: of that 20 percent, only 20 percent will survive as stand-alone enterprises, while the majority will merge into a handful of consolidated enterprises. Do the math: if there are an estimated 10 million blogs in the world, only 2 million will be around a couple years from now. Of those, 400,000 will become real businesses; and of those 80,000 will become viable businesses. I'll go even further: of those, 16,000 will survive the next 10 years; 3,200 will become corporations with annual revenues of $100 million or more, and -- and I'm really getting out there now, 100-200 will someday go public. Of those much-evolved blogs that do one day go public, many will have been among the first to start down the path -- booms really do confer advantages on first movers.
If all that sounds nuts -- I mean, we're talking about blogs here -- you weren't around for the early meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club. Andrew Sullivan, Glenn Reynolds and Kos have a lot more going for them than those nerds clutching homemade motherboards in 1976.
But the crucial first step is finding the money. New structures like the Pajama Media are interesting, but they are still missing something. Take it from a guy who used to run an 800,000 circulation magazine: the advertising agencies for Johnson & Johnson, Ford and Heineken are only marginally interested in raw numbers. What they want are "qualified" potential customers. It's not enough to announce that you have 100,000 unique visitors each week to your blog; you have to characterize them. What do they buy, how old are they, where do they live, how much money do they make? Real advertisers want real results.
Getting that information will require asking blog readers to give up some of their anonymity. It will also take money -- the kind of money that only comes with a business plan, spreadsheets, a hearty handshake with a venture capitalist, and betting everything you've got.
Are the leaders of the blogosphere ready to take that risk?

According to the Cobh Heritage Centre, the name is a variant of "Keohane." Kostaki mou (talk) 01:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
James M. Cohan[edit]
I am not sure why there was a James M. Cohan Wikipage, nor why there was a "suggestion" that that page be merged with this. (1) Clearly the information there was a badly written version of the information here. (2) The Internet Movie Database is the best and most authoritative source on the web for show business names and has *no* James Cohan. They do have George. (3) Google finds 206,000 hits for "George M Cohan" and 21 for "James M Cohan". That is a 10,000 to 1 hit ratio in favor of George.
Obviously some very few people are misinformed of this person's first name.
I converted the James M. Cohan Wikipage to a "redirect" to this page.
Nwbeeson 19:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I stumbled on this page by accident, but this a true example of "serendipity". I was looking for the lyrics of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" to be sung at a Veteran's gathering on December 7, 2003. To my delight, there was a whole world of material on George M Cohan, followed by material on show business, sample lyrics, biographies and histories of Musicals, Composers, Artists... everything a lover of Broadway musicals, European operettas, etc, etc, could ever want. I don't know who you are, but Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!! Shall obviously be back again! Frank H
Josephine Cohan Niblo[edit]
The article said she was born in "1874". I am looking at a photo I took of their mausoleum's insides at Woodlawn Cemetery - and she was born in "1876". I see it clearly. Zouave44 (talk) 02:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
This article would benefit from a photo of Cohan's statue on Broadway. —Theo (Talk) 21:24, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
yes, that's the baby's name[edit]
I have reverted to remove the phrase "yes, that's the baby's name" (see diff). I don't understand why it is here, can anyone explain it? Thanks, --Hansnesse 01:34, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- Cohan wrote the songs "Yankee Doodle Boy" and "Mary"; Allan Sherman did a parody of the latter called "Barry"; and Barry Bostwick sings "Yankee Doodle Boy" annually. So it's kind of a minor Kevin Bacon moment. Wahkeenah 05:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- "Minor Kevin Bacon moments" don't belong on Wikipedia. I've reverted the latest edit. Let's keep the style and content here encyclopedic. | Klaw ¡digame! 19:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- You need to find something better to do with your time... like figuring out a way to keep a-nones from messing things up. Wahkeenah 19:30, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed; I appreciate that the material has meaning, although I don't think the five words does a good job of explaining the connection or meaning intended. Lets post suggested revisions here and try to work out something that is clearer --Hansnesse 19:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- There is no controversy except in the mind of that one user. Wahkeenah 19:37, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- There's absolutely no connection between Barry Bostwick and Allan Sherman, and Wahkeenah's attempts at humor don't belong in the Wikipedia mainspace. No user is going to assume that Barry Bostwick is the "Barry" of Allan Sherman's parody. Send it to BJAODN if you like, but let's not clutter a strong article with irrelevancies and jokes. | Klaw ¡digame! 19:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- It is not clear to me the reference is intended as a joke. If there is no controversy, then finding consensus here should be no trouble; Let's start fresh, see below. --Hansnesse 19:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Allan Sherman's "Barry"[edit]
Wahkeenah suggested the wording (not necessarily Allan Sherman's "Barry") be inserted into the article. To my mind, this does not explain the reference particularly well. (a) Should the fact that Allan Sherman sang a parody titled "Barry" be included and (b) if so, how should it be worded so that the meaning is clear? I suggest not inserting the material until we can come to some sort of agreement here. Thoughts? --Hansnesse 19:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'd like to know if anyone on God's green earth other than this Law character actually cares about this. Wahkeenah 19:52, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I do as well. Is there a clearer way of explaining it. What would you think of a footnote or something akin to it? --Hansnesse 19:56, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Should the fact that Allan Sherman sang a parody titled "Barry" be included Absolutely, but it's already mentioned in the Sherman bullet point. Wahkeenah's edits keep trying to create a connection between that song and the fact that the next bullet is about Barry Bostwick, but in fact, there is no connection at all. The existence of the song is adequately covered. | Klaw ¡digame! 19:59, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps then we could make the meaning clearer in the Sherman bullet point; Do you know if "Barry" from the song title refers to someone/something specifically? Perhaps by clarifying the meaning there, we can avoid the reference in the Bostwick point. Otherwise does the "coincidentally" bit seem ok by all? --Hansnesse 20:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- A clarification of "Barry" in the Sherman bullet would be great - more info is always a good thing. Wahkeenah posted an explanation of "Barry" (and "Horowitz," come to think of it) on my talk page; maybe something like, "Sherman parodied several Cohan songs by adding a Jewish twist" or "by changing their ethnic focus from Irish to Jewish?" | Klaw ¡digame! 20:34, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
How does this wording sound, adding to the Sherman bullet point:
- Sherman's parody songs often referenced names, although it is not generally thought to refer to any one person specifically.
Thoughts? --Hansnesse 20:30, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
Debate comment[edit]
I don't know if this helps on this debate or not - just as a reader who knows nothing of the subject or wanting really to get envolved. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 15:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
I do NOT understand any version of what was trying to be said by this editor Wahkeenah. (And no I'm not dense). I thinks if the user has a cogent comment it should be made as a footnote (referenced to the location of the original insert). Then he needs to make very clear what he is trying to convey, because so far it isn't. I thought I followed it to start with but then it got away from me. Sorry! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 15:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- It was a big tempest in a very small teapot, and the others won the war, and dat's dat. Wahkeenah 18:17, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Birth date[edit]
According to piano instruction book author John Thompson, Cohan was born on July 3rd, but his birthday was changed to July 4th. Remind me to dig up the reference. --Uncle Ed 18:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
That's got to be a joke, or at least it's funny. I wonder how many Jews get large funerals at St. Patrick's Cathedral? I'm guessing... maybe not all that many. Wahkeenah 03:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- It does raise an interesting point: Cohan/Cohen is usually a Jewish name. The article should address how an Irish Catholic family came to have this surname? -- 184.108.40.206 (talk) 05:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- William H. Rehnquist, a Lutheran, got a funeral at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Rent-a-church? John Paul Parks (talk) 02:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
The name Cohan/Keohane is an anglicisation of the surname Ó Ceocháin, commmon in parts of West Cork. It's pure coincidence that the anglicised form happens to look like the common Jewish surname Cohen but the two names are not related. An Muimhneach Machnamhach (talk) 20:00, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Conceding that he was Catholic, a better question is how a divorced-and-remarried-Catholic, whose first wife was still living, got a large Catholic funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral in 1942. Money? John Paul Parks (talk) 02:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Medal of Honor[edit]
If this is given only to "combat veterans," then how did Lindberg get one? BulldogPete 22:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
In the Civil War many non-combat veterans were awarded the medal. These were rescinded. The status of non-combat veterans can be found on the MoH page. Zouave44 (talk) 02:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm not aware of any Cohan songs being interpolated into Guys & Dolls, the score for which is usually considered to be solely by Frank Loesser based on Runyon. Can anyone confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- I thought that was suspicious myself. I don't believe any of his songs were interpolated into Anything Goes or Hello, Dolly either! Kostaki mou (talk) 03:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Sammy Davis, Jr.[edit]
What is the point of the reference to Sammy Davis Jr. in the item about George Jr.? If they were colleagues who performed together this should be spelled out. If it's just that both were among the many thousands who served in Special Services during WWII the reference is meaningless and should be deleted.
- It was slipped in by an IP address, some 2 years ago, as one of a flurry of edits. [1] There is no obvious point, other than the two names being a "Junior". It be gone. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
There is no references or ref tags. Even though most of this accurate and there is External Links, their has to be references and ref tags. Because, 1) People need to know where we got the information from. 2) People need to know if this information is accurate. AnnieTigerChucky (talk) 04:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
New Reference[edit]
Added external link to liner notes and corrected number of songs Cohan wrote and published, and for full disclosure I work for the non-profit educational resource linked to.Ribbonabaca (talk) 16:19, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Phantom President[edit]
Removed reference to Dave (1993) as remake of Phantom President. Dave is NOT a remake of this film. There is a similar premise (The Prisoner of Zenda uses the same premise) but otherwise no plot similarities. Further, Writers' Guild credits for Dave treat the screenplay as original and not an adaptation (for which the original writers would be credited). Michaelcarraher (talk) 16:26, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
North Brookfield[edit]
I removed the excessive detail about North Brookfield, leaving a paragraph, together with the single ref. that was given. Do people think it's still too much? Does anyone know what page of the Telegram & Gazette this news article appeared on, and who the author was? -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:02, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

He should be someone who accepts and respects other people's opinion, is very healthy (physically and mentally),can challenge and stimulate me intellectually, physically and emotionally.He must not be shy and should know how to hold a conversation. Interested in travelling both locally and internationally is a deal breaker, not mentioning knowing your geography!

In memory of Duane: Frontier Days honors community leader at its 40th annual festival
The 40th annual Frontier Days festival and parade was a lot different than the first one. Just ask Bill Arthur. He's volunteered every year.
"It started out as a pig roast," Arthur said. "It evolved into more of a social meeting, then they decided to get some rides and make it a fair."
The festival, held at the Golden Gate Community Center this past weekend, was put together by a committee of volunteers to raise money for a number of local charities, said festival president Peggy Harris.
This year's charities included the Rotary Club of Naples-Collier, Golden Gate Civic Association, Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association, Golden Gate Kiwanis Club, Naples Nites Lions Club and the Golden Gate Community Center. Harris said the event raised nearly $30,000 for these charities.
"We didn't do as well as last year," Arthur said. "The weather wasn't as good."
When asked why Arthur has returned to the festival to volunteer every year since its inception, his answer was simple.
"We raise a little money, and we get to help people that need help," Arthur said. "If you belong to the community, you should be involved in it."
Saturday's parade highlighted the Frontier Days. Only a few years ago the parade was removed from the festival schedule due to dwindling interest. This year, Harris said, the parade was bigger than last year.
"We had a great turnout. I was pleased with how the parade went," she said.
In a letter to patrons on the festival website, Harris said the Frontier Days' "mission is to preserve, educate and promote our history and heritage of Collier County." Harris has served as the event's president the last five years.
The festival was held March 7-10, and featured three themed days: Country night, Latin night and Irish night. Each night featured food and music favoring each theme, complementing the rides and attractions open throughout the weekend.
According to Harris, Irish night was sobering for many of the volunteers as the night featured a tribute to Duane Billington, a local civic activist who lost a short battle with throat cancer. He passed away Feb. 15, after he already put extensive work in helping organize this year's Frontier Days. Harris said she spoke with him less than a month before about potentially taking over as president of the festival.
"He was going to take over for me next year. He told me he was going to the doctor for a sore throat, then he found out the news two weeks later. It was a shock for a lot of people," Harris said.
Frontier Days commemorated March 10 as "Duane Billington Day" on its fliers. The fliers said "Duane's dedication and drive defined community involvement. His efforts still bear fruit and his memory continues on in the Golden Gate community."
Jim Flanagan, a Golden Gate Civic Association board member, wrote a heartfelt letter to the editor in February to the Naples Daily News honoring Billington.
"The world lost a good man," Flanagan wrote. "He was looking forward to the Irish entertainment that he endured to arrange for the Frontier Days festival. I am proud to have known him, proud to have been his friend."

The State of Illinois is unable to pay $120.6 billion of their debts. Here are some of their debts:
• Illinois bond borrowings: $29.1 billion
• Promised pension benefits: $62.4 billion
• Promised retiree health care benefits: $27.1 billion
• Miscellaneous (including payments to nursing homes, child care facilities, etc): $21.9 billion.
The state Financial Comptroller Dan Hynes, said recently Illinois owes $5 billion to schools, universities, child-care centers and rehab centers around the state. He calls it "obscene?, telling the New York Times: "This is not some esoteric budget issue; we are not paying bills for absolutely essential services".
Having overrun their budget over the years and borrowing to fund the deficits, the day of reckoning has arrived. With billions owed in bond IOUs the state?s credit – the ability to borrow – has been depleted. As a result, they are not able to pay their bills.
Unlike the federal government, state governments cannot print money. So the state has become bankrupt and in a bankruptcy, debts are discharged. That means someone loses, whether it is a credit card company, a goods supplier, a medical care provider or mortgage lender, when an individual or company files for bankruptcy. Now when it is a state government that goes bankrupt, the ones who lose are its citizens.
So what should you do if your state goes bankrupt?

There's a difference in staying at a hotel and actually living in Paradise. This bed and breakfast gives you gorgeous Hawaii as your home. From the warm aloha of the hosts, to the healthy and yummy breakfast choices, I highly recommend this special place. The view is breathtaking and for just a little while, Paradise is yours.

I stayed Aloha B&B for 3nights in June, 2014, and the days there made me literally feel at home and relaxed. Don and Phylllis were extremely kind and always cheerful, and offered a helping hand whenever they found it good for me, while keeping certain, just right distance; for example, advice about sightseeing, driving me down at times when they went out(since I did not have a car), helping meal cooking… There was a lanai where I could enjoy great view which changes as time goes by in a day, especially star-filled night sky in the calm neighborhood was breathtaking. Also, Having a breakfast there feeling cozy breeze made the very nice start of the day. I stayed queen bed room, and the sight from the window at dawn was also my favorite. Phyllis prepared healthy breakfast every morning, and I could enjoy as much as I wanted, always with fresh fruits. Room was not that big, but clean and for me, staying alone, just good size and cozy. I strongly recommend Aloha B&B to anybody who do not like or take rest from the hustle and bustle in Waikiki and want to relax feeling warmth and beauty of Hawaii through both human and nature.

I simply cannot say enough good things about Don & Phyllis! We were completely satisfied with our stay in their home during our recent trip to Oahu. When I reserved the room Phyllis had asked for any dietary concerns. I am trying to live gluten and dairy free. This is always so difficult when traveling. There was gluten free bread and cereal for breakfast. Phyllis made the most delicious fruit/oatmeal cereal. They have many local maps and books regarding the area. They knew what activities were going on in the area while we were in town. We will definitely stay at this B&B if the opportunity arises in the future.

I keep looking for words other than wonderful to describe my stay here in Hawaii Kai with Don and Phyllis.On every level from service to food and cleanliness this stay exceeded my expectations. Don and Phyllis' experience, generosity and warmth set me up to take in the rest of the island flow. Their view was an ever- present and uplifting part of the experience - as much a part of the trip as anything else. Quiet. Simple. Serene.Private. Away from the hustle and frenetic. The hillside view is tucked away and a car is needed. Don and Phyllis have good recommendations for that and anything else "island" you might need. A great first stay. A comfortable home base for recharging after day out. I considered myself quite lucky for this find, would love to visit again, and recommend them with enthusiasm. Many Thanks, Don and Phyllis!

Thought it might be nice to stay in a B&B for the first few nights on Oahu, before traveling to some of the other islands, so that we could get acquainted with folks that live and experience Hawaii everyday. This idea worked well for us and we had a wonderful visit here!

If you plan to rent a car for your visit to Oahu, the Aloha B&B will be good fit. The drive from Honolulu airport is about 30 min to the east. The friendly host and hostess, Don and Phyllis Young, have three guest rooms in their beautiful hillside home with great views of the marina, Koko Head, Koko Crater, and Maunaula Bay. We decided to stay at the Aloha B&B in order to avoid the crowded, impersonal and expensive lodging at Waikiki. We also wanted to see the Honolulu sights as well as other areas of Oahu. Other guests during our stay were from Poland and Japan and were delightful to meet over a good, healthy breakfast of coffee, island fruits, yogurt, wholegrain cereals and breads. Also for dinner we enjoyed restaurants at the marina shopping center just down the hill. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at the Aloha B&B and the helpfulness that the Youngs offered for our Oahu visit.

Was delighted to find this B&B in Honolulu. I agree with all the nice things previous reviewers have said! Don and Phyllis are exceptionally warm, welcoming and helpful hosts. My room was clean and comfy with a fabulous view. Every morning there were nice breakfast fixings laid out, fresh fruit and granola and fresh baked goods and fresh coffee. The Honolulu weather being so amazing I always took my breakfast sitting out on the deck for more of that extraordinary view across the bay. They have a great collection of Hawaii guide books and were excellent information resources themselves. Was a great base for touring Honolulu, and a terrific deal. Would stay there again

Aloha Bed and Breakfast was the perfect place for our family to stay. This B&B is located in Hawaii Kai, a quiet community on the outskirts of Honolulu--away from the noise and traffic of the city but still having nice shopping, restaurants, beaches, hiking, etc. Don and Phyllis' home is comfortable and pleasantly arranged for relaxation--inside and outside. They have beautiful views out of all windows and from the deck and the pool. Their home and grounds are kept very clean, and great care is taken to make sure every area is a spot of beauty. Our breakfasts included whole grain breads, cereals, local fruits, yogurt, orange juice, great coffee, and other varied healthy choices. I took home some great recipes:) Don and Phyllis were very accommodating to meet our needs and make our stay a memorable one. We would happily choose to stay with them again on future visits to Hawaii!

I slept in the queen bedroom and was very pleased with the firmness of the bed and the size and quality of the room, which is down two short stair flights so I got a lot of exercise daily. Breakfast was a delightful array of fruits, yogurt and a homemade muffin, juice and coffee. We had pleasant conversations and my coming and going at early hours was never a problem. I ate breakfast on the lanai under the early morning stars and sometimes kept off-site dinner leftovers in the refrigerator for the following day. The Young's residence is nicely situated. I never felt I was a bother to them as they went about their daily routines. I was free to come and go as I pleased, which I did. This is not the place for you if you want to be catered to.
5 sur août 27, 2013
Don & Phyllis were great hosts during my 3 night stay at their B&B. Upon arrival Phyllis showed me around and gave me great sightseeing tips in the area. They both had lots of recommendations on what to do and see, providing maps and coupons for all kinds of activities around the island. The neighborhood is quiet and has great views. I felt very welcomed and started my days off at around 11am to venture around the island. Breakfast was delicious and the fresh fruit was a great plus. I would definitely recommend staying there. The location is convenient, the rooms are clean and comfortable and Phyllis and Don are the sweetest blessing for a person traveling alone to feel welcomed. Aloha! :)

|Yamaha FZ1
The Yamaha FZ6, also known as the FZ6 FAZER is a 600 cc (37 cu in) motorcycle that was introduced by Yamaha in 2004 as a middleweight sport bike built around the 2003 YZF-R6 engine. The engine is retuned for more usable midrange power. As a multi-purpose motorcycle it can handle sport riding, touring, and commuting.In 2009, the fz6 was replaced in Canada by the fz6r. In 2010, the FZ6 was replaced in Europe by the FZ8 and FAZER8. As of March 2011[update] the FZ6 and FZ6R continue to be sold in other markets.
This bike is a popular choice for its half-fairing, upright seating position, and underseat exhaust. These features position it between a full supersport and a naked streetfighter (although in Europe and Australia, there is an available naked FZ6N option).
Model history[edit]
2006 revision[edit]
The FZ6 in 2006 has a revised engine, frame, subframe, grabhandle, rear swingarm and wheels are painted in black. It had a metal honeycomb type catalytic converter satisfies EU2 and CARB emissions standards, and optimized fuel injection (FI) system mapping to increase torque at lower engine speeds.
2007 revision[edit]
In October 2006, Yamaha announced an updated FZ6 for the 2007 model year.[1] The FZ6 received optimized fuel injection (FI) system mapping, redesigned fairing and windscreen, new instrument cluster with analog tachometer and digital speedometer (similar to the FZ1), new four-piston monoblock brake calipers for the front brake, alumite-finished front forks with revised damping, a three-way catalytic converter, a new seat design, a new rear swingarm, and new passenger footpegs. European versions other than the S2 have reduced power of 78 hp (58 kW).
2008 revision[edit]
The 2008 model is technically unchanged from 2007. The only difference is in appearance of front cowling around the headlights, which is now black regardless of motorcycle colour. The European model 'FZ6 Fazer S2 ABS' has ABS and electronic immobilizer as standard. It is also 5 kg heavier (Dry Weight 191 kg).[citation needed]
2009 revision[edit]
The 2009 model (introduced on September 8, 2008) is technically unchanged from 2008/2007. The European model 'FZ6 Fazer S2 ABS' has ABS and electronic immobilizer as standard. It is also 5 kg heavier (Dry Weight 191 kg).[citation needed]
2010 revision[edit]
For the 2010 model year, Yamaha continued to sell the FZ6 Fazer S2 (half-faired) and FZ6 S2 (naked) in Europe. Both have full power (98 PS) and ABS. Reduced power models have been discontinued and replaced with the XJ6 Diversion (half-faired) and XJ6 (naked); both have optional ABS.
In North America, the FZ6R replaces the FZ6 in its second season on the market. The FZ6R in North America is similar to the XJ6 Diversion, except it is fully faired, and the ABS and electronic immobilizer are not included.
All specifications are manufacturer claimed.

More than six in every 10 American households include at least one pet. So it should not be surprising that pets continue to play an important role in the lives of older adults even when their home situation changes.
Pets help seniors be happier at Norman nursing home
Man's best friend has become an integral part of every day at nursing homes across Oklahoma.
For the elderly, pets can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure and increase social interaction, physical activity and learning.
"We know that people do better around living things like plants, animals and people, which is why we wanted to include in-residence pets at our home," said Shange Loyd, administrator at Grace Living Center El Reno, where residents and staff benefit from the affection bestowed upon them by two Basset hounds — Harry and Lou Lou.
"They are like little kids. They just go from resident to resident to get petted. When someone is down or depressed, the dogs seem to know because they will go to that resident and love on them and give them attention," said Patsie Daniel, a resident of the home.
According to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, caring for a cat or dog helps older adults overcome depression and loneliness.
At Grace Living Center Stillwater, a feisty feline named Oreo roams the halls, visiting and cuddling with residents.
"She is wonderful. Every morning she makes the rounds, she goes into all the resident's rooms in her hall and will jump on the bed and lay with them," said Tasha Voss, activities director at the home.
"I love Oreo coming into my room day and night. She's good company and we all love her very much," said resident Doris Gibson.
At Grace Living Center Norman, a resident cat and two birds provide the pet-people connection.
"Caring for the whole person is at the heart of our philosophy of care at Grace," said Josh Wood, administrator of the Norman home. "Having pets at the home offers a special type of companionship to the residents."
Many residents have had to leave behind treasured pets. So having pets at the facility helps fill that void.
Babette Blanchard, a resident at Grace, has always loved animals and was more than thrilled when she was able to adopt a loving tabby cat named Sam from the Norman Animal Shelter two years ago. And Sam is no stranger when it comes to making new friends.

New tire need scuffing myth

I have a set of Metzeler Z8 Interacts (mfgd in 2012). When new they had a very noticeable heavy waxy/greasy film on the tread area. I don;t know if it's mold release agent, or what, but it was slippery on the road. I could not cut through it with Simple Green or Fast Orange. It just smeared. This makes me think it was a wax vs a grease. It clogged up sandpaper. The only way I found to remove it was to wear it off on the road, just being very careful as I leaned further over the first few times.
This was not just scuffing of the tire's rubber surface. It was actually removing a heavy wax film that came on the tire from the factory.

The thing with midlife facelifts is that they can often go awry. Some designer gets a bit heavy-handed, and, before you know it, the car's become a caricature of itself. Luckily, Peugeot had the foresight to make a hash of the original RCZ, so all they've had to do is put that right.
Not a total hash, you understand. No, it was just the grille, a gaping great maw filled out with a boxer's gumshield of a bumper. Now there's a much more acceptable two-tier arrangement, upper and lower separated by a slice of body colour. And that's it. All is aligned. You can forget about the old one's conk and focus on what a handsome, uniquely proportioned coupe this is.
And that's almost all you need to know about this facelift, one plucked straight from the colour/trim/kit school of cost-effective upgrades. You can now have the roof arches in matt black, leather and Alcantara upholstery can be added to the base Sport model (for £1,200), while the higher-spec GT, as opted for by 80 per cent of buyers, is available with brown leather. Thrills.
However, this is a car worth taking another look at. The temptation is to imagine it as another ordinary continental coupe, more style than content. But the RCZ does feel sports car-ish. The ride is firm but not jarringly so, and it has responsive steering and good turn-in. It's quite eager and backed up by an engine that's way more punchy than its 1.6-litre displacement suggests. It even sounds vaguely enticing.
The manual gearbox is tight and sharp, and this is a satisfying car to punt around in. The gearing's a bit low and noise a fraction high, just taking the edge off refinement, while comfort is slightly compromised by a flat, firm seat that's mounted too high in the car. We don't go a bundle on the bulbous steering wheel, either. But it's a light, airy cabin with good visibility and reasonable practicality. It's a two-seater, though - the back's not for humans.
Prices start at £21,595 for the 156bhp petrol Sport, with this hot 197bhp GT as the flagship. There's also a 161bhp, 2.0-litre diesel from £23,430. Personally, I'm not sure GT trim is worth the mark-up - the pokiest engine in Sport trim at £23,980 looks the best deal to me. Oh, and the hot 256bhp RCZ R? Not here until the end of the year. Boo.

The verdict
Vastly improved front-end treatment takes care of our only real criticism. Not wonderfully charismatic, but a more enticing driver's car than you might think.

Tim Kurkjian Reacts to the Opening of the 2013 Baseball Season
Flickr | Keith Allison
ESPN baseball insider Tim Kurkjian stopped by One on One and talked baseball with DJ and I Saturday afternoon, giving us his take on the Yankees' rough start to the season, the Mets' outlook going forward, and the 40th anniversary of the Designated Hitter being added to the American League.
Discussing the injuries that continue to pile up in the Bronx, he says the Yankees are not going to be successful with their current lineup. For the Mets, will Johan Santana return? Are Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum's best days behind them? Listen to what Tim Kurkjian had to say on these issues, and also his take on Jeff Van Gundy's comments towards the DH.

WEDNESDAY, July 4 (HealthDay News) -- The discomfort some passengers feel on airplanes could be due to the air pressure settings inside cabins, a new study finds.
Most aircraft cabins are pressurized to 8,000 feet above sea level, an altitude that lowers the amount of oxygen in the blood by about 4 percentage points, researchers say.
This decrease in oxygen saturation isn't enough to bring on acute mountain sickness, but pressurizing the cabin to 6,000 feet could help some passengers feel better when flying, concludes a study in the July 5 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"We found that the altitudes did not affect the occurrence of acute mountain sickness syndrome, but it did affect discomfort," said the study's lead author, Dr. J. Michael Muhm, senior occupation physician for Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Seattle, which funded the study. "There was no difference in the likelihood of discomfort at ground level and 6,000 feet, but the likelihood increased between 6,000 and 8,000 feet."
He added, "We concluded that passenger and crew comfort would be enhanced" if the cabin was pressurized to 6,000 feet during long-duration flights.
Most commercial aircraft are pressurized to 6,000 to 8,000 feet, not sea level.
"In order to pressurize at ground level, we would have to increase the weight of the aircraft tremendously, because the material as it exists right now couldn't tolerate pressure at ground level," explained Dr. Claude Thibeault, medical director of the International Air Transport Association in Montreal. "We would have to increase fuel, decrease passengers. So, it's an operational sort of factor."
And 8,000 feet, the maximum allowed, is also physiologically acceptable for "normal" people, he added.
"The average Joe in good condition could tolerate 8,000 feet without health effects," Thibeault said. But he noted, "They didn't say without discomfort."
Short-haul flights are usually pressurized at 5,000 to 6,000 feet while long-haul flights are closer to 8,000 feet, according to Thibeault.
But acute mountain sickness, which can involve headache, nausea and vomiting, can occur at altitudes of 6,500 feet and higher.
The authors of the study wanted to see, among other things, if airplane travelers were prone to mountain sickness.
To that end, 502 adult volunteers participated in a 20-hour simulated flight to determine the effect of barometric pressures equivalent to altitudes of 650, 4,000, 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 feet above sea level on arterial oxygen saturation and the occurrence of acute mountain sickness and discomfort.
Mean oxygen saturation went down as the altitude increased, eventually reaching a maximum decrease of 4.4 percentage points at 8,000 feet.
Acute mountain sickness occurred in 7.4 percent of participants, but the incidence did not vary between the different altitudes.
Discomfort rose with increasing altitude and was greater at 7,000 to 8,000 feet than at all the other altitudes combined. Discomfort became apparent 3 to 9 hours into the "flight."
Older people (over 60) were less likely to report discomfort than younger people, and men seemed more affected than women.
"There were no health effects, but the discomfort was there," Thibeault said. "What they were trying to do in this study is isolate one factor, which is altitude, so you can't blame these effects on other factors."

Kurds emerge as winners in Iraq chaos
MULA ABDULA, Iraq (AP) — Among rolling wheat fields with machine-gun fire rattling in the distance, Kurdish fighters patrol the new frontier of their autonomous region of northern Iraq, dozens of miles from their official border. In front of them are Islamic militants, behind them is the Kurds' newly captured prize, stretches of oil-rich territory.
In Iraq's chaos, the Kurds are emerging as significant winners — and their victories are fueling sentiment among their population to declare outright independence.
As Sunni insurgents swept over a large chunk of northern Iraq and barreled toward Baghdad the past two weeks, Kurdish fighters known as peshmerga seized territory of their own, effectively expanding the Kurdish-run region into areas it has long claimed. Most notably, they grabbed the oil center of Kirkuk. And in contrast to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad, which is in turmoil, the Kurds are growing more confident, vowing to increase oil sales independent of the central government.
The gains have also brought the Kurds challenges barely imaginable just days ago. They must defend a new, 620-mile (1,000 kilometer) frontier against Sunni insurgents, led by an al-Qaida breakaway group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Some 300,000 Iraqis who fled the insurgent advance have flooded into Kurdish areas, an extra burden to an already cash-strapped autonomy government.
And the Kurds risk a backlash. In Kirkuk, Sunni Arabs and ethnic Turkmens — who have long opposed Kurdish claims over the city — threaten a revolt if the Kurds don't share administration of the city and any oil revenues.
Still, the sense of exuberance is palpable among Kurds, who make up 20 percent of Iraq's mostly Arab population.
"Now that the peshmerga took back our disputed areas, we should have our own country. We deserve it," said Khaled Ismail in the Kurdish area of Khazer.
The 19-year-old student wants independence so Kurdistan can sell its own oil and have the status statehood brings, like a passport, representation internationally — and a national soccer team. "If we had a Kurdish team in the World Cup, it would be great," he said.
Another man pointed to the strength of the peshmerga in contrast to the troops of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government, who collapsed in the face of insurgents.
"The peshmerga and al-Maliki's army are as different as the ground and the sky," said 59-year-old Ahmed Omar, wearing traditional Kurdish baggy pants. He also wants statehood. "We don't want other people to interfere in our affairs."
Declaring independence — and formally fragmenting Iraq — is not easy. The United States and neighboring Turkey oppose Kurdish independence. And the Kurds can expect constant clashes not just with insurgents but also with Iraqi forces if they unilaterally break away and claim the areas they grabbed, said Kurdish analyst Hiwa Osman. "If the Kurds want true independence, (there) has to be a treaty," he said.
Given that resistance, the Kurdish government is pressing for even greater powers of autonomy but not full independence.

To many people, the word glade suggests a grassy sun-dappled forest clearing like those in Longfellow's poetry or Hawthorne's stories. The Ozark glades, however, are nothing like these literary glades.
Instead, they are areas of exposed bedrock in the Ozark woodlands that create their own hot, dry, desert-like microclimates. Among the species that live in the Ozark glades are tarantulas, scorpions, prickly pear cactus - and lizards.
The subject of Templeton's research is the startling eastern collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris collaris), so called for the darkly pigmented bands around its neck.
Missouri is at the eastern end of the collared lizards range, which includes much of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
Odd as a lizard in the woods might seem, the collared lizard is just one of the larger and more visible of the many beautiful and rare species that live in the Ozarks.
The Ozarks are in fact highlands that were uplifted when the South American plate collided with the North American plate to create the Ouachita Mountains south of the Ozarks 300 million years ago.
Because the Ozark highland terrain was higher than the regions that surround it, it was not inundated by seas nor scoured by glaciers like the rest of the continent. It is, Templeton says, the oldest land in North America that has continuously existed as land.
And because life has steadily evolved in the Ozarks for 250 million years, it is a center of endemism, or species uniquely adapted to a particular site, one of the very few centers of endemism in a temperate rather than a tropical region.
The Ozarks are home to more than 200 species found nowhere else on the planet, including the federally endangered snakemouth orchid.
The collared lizard is not endemic to the Ozarks, but its existence is entwined with that of many endemic species, as Templeton was to discover.
