Same Day! New, Bigger Location! FREE Admission!

Genghis Con 2014 will be held on Sunday, November 30th at the Lake Erie Building - Registration Now Open!

For the past five years on Thanksgiving weekend, Genghis Con has been a touchstone event for comics and independent print media in the North East Ohio region. From Pittsburgh to Columbus to Chicago, the region's most prolific comics creators and zinesters have converged on Cleveland to share their stories and artwork, and help foster an environment for the open dialogue about the nature of comics, storytelling, and the small press print medium. Genghis Con 2014 is primed to be another exceptional year with a couple of major changes to the show.

Big Change #1: Genghis Con is moving! The sixth annual small press and independent comics convention will be held from 2pm-7pm on Sunday, November 30th, 2014 (Thanksgiving weekend) at The Lake Erie Building (AKA: The Screw Factory), 13000 Athens Ave, at the south end of Lakewood, Ohio. This means we'll have a ton of extra space for even more exhibitors.

Big Change #2: We're getting rid of the $5 charge to get in! Genghis Con will now be FREE to all who wish to attend, making it an even better way to spend your post-Thanksgiving Sunday!

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank The Beachland Ballroom for all the support and giving us such a great home to launch Genghis Con and help it develop over the past five years. We encourage everyone to continue to support them, and enjoy all the awesome things The Beachland has to offer!

Those comics and zine makers interested in Exhibiting Genghis Con 2014, please head over to this REGISTRATION FORM.

Moving to a bigger space and making the show free for attendees means we have to make another big change, and so we will be charging a minimal fee for tables this year- $25 for 3', $50 for 6' of space.

We're excited for another amazing year. Help us spread the word and don't forget to register!

Just a quick update - we've had a couple people have to cancel this weekend. Sadly, Ashley Gerst, Stephen Hines and Scott Hall are not going to be able to be there this Sunday.

The good news is that we've added Marc Sumerak, GeekCLE and Daniel McCloskey to the list! Though we'll miss Ashley, Stephen and Scott, there's still tons of great stuff to check out!

Be sure to check out our tumblr for more info on these and all the rest of our fine exhibitors. See you on Sunday!

As Genghis Con Day approaches, we wanted to let you know ahead of time that Waterloo Road, where the Beachland is located, has been under construction. It's been a long process and unfortunately it will not be finished before this Sunday. So, with that in mind, the best we can all do is just be prepared.

With that in mind, here's what the deal is: Waterloo is currently a one-way street, with the other side torn up and in the process of being rebuilt. After E 156th, all sidestreets off of Waterloo are closed until E 163rd. Luckily, the Beachland parking lot is still accessible to traffic. If the lot is full, there is more parking up the road to your right (across from E 162nd).

Beyond this, you can turn on E 163rd (signs for Waterloo detour) and try for curb-side parking on Trafalgar Ave or elsewhere in the neighborhood. The blocked sidestreets are semi-accessible from Trafalgar if you want to try for parking there. There is also a parking lot behind Arts Collinwood (on the corner of Waterloo and E 156th).

Following this detour will take you back to highway access. If you want to circle around, we recommend turning right onto E 156th from Trafalgar rather than left. If there are any problems, the number for the Beachland is (216) 383-1124.
See you soon!Kevinhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-661945430450924593.post-74484449709012031712013-11-07T12:30:00.000-08:002013-11-07T14:00:23.016-08:00Two Hand Fools join Genghis Con

Unfortunately All Dinosaurs had to cancel their Genghis Con 2013 performance. A bummer for sure, but we appreciate their support and hope to do something with them in the near future.

The good news is that we were able to get the mighty Two Hand Fools to headline the show! Two Hand Fools has a particular catchy style of heavier punk music, and their steadfast DIY ethic is something that exemplifies what Genghis Con is all about. We're proud to have them joining Uno Lady and Smoke Noises on the bill!

Also wanted to mention to check out the Genghis Con tumblr page. We'll be posting individual links to the exhibitors over there as we lead up to December 1st!

GENGHIS CON 2013, SUNDAY DECEMBER 1st AT THE BEACHLAND BALLROOM

CLEVELAND, OHIO- Now in its 5th year the Small Press Comics Convention, Genghis Con, returns to The Beachland Ballroom (15711 Waterloo Rd, Cleveland, Ohio) on Sunday, December 1st, starting at 2pm. The convention brings the best and the brightest of the region's independent comics scene together for a day of celebrating comics. This year also sees some exciting new additions to the show, including live panel discussions and performances by some of Cleveland's favorite musical acts.

Genghis Con has established the tradition of having a Small Press and Underground Comics Convention in Cleveland on Thanksgiving weekend that showcases the talented artists, writers, and cartoonists drawn from all over rust belt and beyond. The focus has always been, and always will be, on the art and language of comics and visual storytelling, and the print medium.

2013 brings with it a handful of changes to the show to go along with the usual comics and self-published goodness you would expect from Genghis Con. The show this year will be held on Sunday, and doors open to the public at 2pm. During this convention, local podcast Comics Are Go! will be hosting a series of panel discussions that you won't want to miss.

The convention floor closes at 7pm, but that doesn't mean the fun is over. Directly after the main event, the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern will host a concert showcasing Cleveland's diverse musical talents. Performing will be the hard rockers All Dinosaurs, experimental vocalist Uno Lady, and hip hop come-uppers Smoke Noises (Smoke Screen + Ghost Noises).

The Beachland Ballroom is the ideal setting for Genghis Con. Much like The Beachland's role as part of the underground music community, our goal is to provide a venue for our visitors to discover surprising new cartoonist, and foster an environment for an open exchange of artwork, ideas, and dialogues. In addition to Genghis Con, the Beachland does have a Brunch that opens at 11am, and goes until 3pm, then the bar will be open, serving drinks and their regular menu until 11pm.

Admission to Genghis Con is still only $5. Further information, and a growing list of guests and exhibitors will be posted here at thegenghiscon.com as we start to announce this year's exhibitor list. This year's registration is closed, but if you are still interested in exhibiting and want to sign up for the wait list, you can do so HERE.

 Genghis Con 2011, November 26th at The Beachland Ballroom
The Small Press Comic Convention, Genghis Con, returns to Cleveland on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 24th, 2012, from noon to 6 pm at the Beachland Ballroom at 15711 Waterloo Road Cleveland, OH 44110. This is the fourth year for the convention, which will bring artists, writers, cartoonists, and the best and brightest of the Rust Belt's independent comics scene together for a day of celebrating comics.

For the past three years Genghis Con has worked hard to establish the new tradition of having a Small Press and Alternative Print Media Convention in Cleveland that serves as a showcase and converging point for the talent and craftspeople of the region between Michigan, Western Pennsylvania, and all over Ohio. Focusing on the art and language of comics and visual storytelling has been, and always will be, the priority.

The Beachland Ballroom is the ideal setting for our objective of an open exchange of artwork, narratives, and ideas, as well as to buy, sell, and trade the mostly self-published, independent comics and zines. We are proud to foster an environment for attendees and patrons to be able to meet, chat with, and support their favorite local comic book artists. Much like The Beachland's role as part of the underground music community, our other objective is to provide a venue for our visitors to discover surprising new cartoonist they may not be hip to just yet.

Cleveland is a city steeped in tradition, both as a general rule and with a rich history of comics and storytelling. Genghis Con aims to channel that strength, and continue the legacy by making a contribution to promoting Cleveland as a cultural hot spot and destination for lovers of all things COMICS. Every year, the Saturday after Thanksgiving we'll be at The Beachland doing just that.

Out of consideration for literally everyone, we're keeping the admission price $5.

Further information, and a growing list of guests and exhibitors will be posted here at thegenghiscon.com as we start to fill this year's roster, and book the guests. Genghis Con also has a new tumblr over at http://genghisconcleveland.tumblr.com!

Anyone interested in exhibiting, please email firstname.lastname@example.com, space is limited, but it's still available. We're mostly focused on independent, DIY, alternative comics and cartoonists that do graphic narratives and sequential art, but we're also open to writers, printmakers, zinesters, small press publishers, and practitioners of other forms of independent print media. The show is All Ages and family friendly, so please keep that in mind.

Been meaning to update, but the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of madness. Awesome, awesome madness. SO, here's the news and links to some stuff we think is important, so let's get to the hype.

Firstly: big CONGRATS to Joyce Brabner and Justin Coulter, the organizer and artist of the Harvey Pekar Memorial Statue for achieving their Kickstarter goal. Which means that the statue will be built, but just because they met their goal, doesn't mean you can't still be a part of this awesome thing, get in on those awesome incentives, by donating even more money to the cause! It's an awesome awesome thing for the city and Harvey Pekar's legacy, and comics in general, but independent comics specifically.

Secondly, big thanks to the boys at the Comics Are GO! podcast, for having John G and Kevin Czap on to rap about Genghis Con, check out the Genghis Con special edition (posted on 11/11/11). Everybody had a great time, and I think we even said some halfway intelligent things about comics and the show! Though, engineer extraordinaire Matt Hess may not have said anything... he can be mysterious. At any rate, it's a fun podcast to listen to while you're drawing into the wee hours of the night.

I also want to add a note, especially for the out-of-towners coming in from parts unknown to attend Genghis Con at The Beachland, there are a plethora of shops on Waterloo to consider while you're here in the neighborhood. After you've had your mind blown by all the awesome exhibitors at Genghis Con, starting way down by East 156th is Arts Collinwood, The Head Shop and Cloud 9 (which I think is new-ish) ... right next door to the Beachland is the record store run by a cat named Vinyl (that's not slang, it's an actual cat!), Music Saves, and Native Cleveland, a store that sells little pieces of the actual city you can buy, then down a ways at E, 160th is the nostalgic nerdtopia Star Pop, packed to the gills with toys and stuff of yesteryear, then just little further is Blue Arrow Recordst and their boutique. If you've never been to Blue Arrow it's worth it just to check out the floor alone (it's made of record sleeves), but ON that floor they have an awesome selection of weird old underground comix and magazines and tons of the most oddball paperbacks and pulps, oh... and records! Waterloo is definitely a perfect place to spend the afternoon knocking out all your X-Mas shopping and walking off that T-Giving Feast.

Lastly, we wanted to link to the updated info about Carol & John's Comics big Black Friday Midnight Madness Sale/Party. If you're in town Friday night before the con, it's definitely a great thing to get into. They have a ton of independent comics they've got marked down to a buck, just thousands of comics. It's a pretty good time to get together and nerd out on some comics too. It's a pretty fun time! Kung Fu Bob will probably be playing cartoon music!

Okay, everybody, have a good holiday! Be thankful, eat food, and gear up in anticipation for the best Saturday of November! I'll probably be posting again before the show, so stay tuned!John Ghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-661945430450924593.post-35282621865543804562011-11-07T21:52:00.000-08:002011-11-07T22:08:22.663-08:00Genghis Con 2011 Hypemobile

Another awesome poster for this year's show, this time by Kevin Fagan! A lot of Kevin's work looks like he's a complete and total acid casualty, but he's really not. In real life he's the most square and normal, average, everyday Cleveland Schmoe. That's why he's one of our heroes here at G.C. HQ.

Hey, but shout out to Frank Santoro over at The Comics Journal and Kevin Czap for writing that great Cleveland Comics Scene Report.

Big thanks to Mike SanGiacomo for the mention in this past Friday's Plain Dealer, you can check out the piece HERE. Check out some of Mike's comics, Tales of The Starlight Drive-In!

More updates coming in the next week or so. Stay tuned!John Ghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-661945430450924593.post-43304062873898187432011-11-02T14:40:00.000-07:002011-11-02T15:42:53.690-07:00Genghis Con 2011 News!

GENGHIS CON RAPIDLY APPROACHES! Saturday, November 26th, 2011 is just a few short weeks away!

Here's the poster drawn by John G, this year referencing the current climate of Protests and Occupations that are happening all over the country (and the world). Occupy Wallstreet in New York, since it's inception, has been a constant source of activity and inspiration, while Occupy Oakland has ramped up really hard over the last few weeks culminating with a General Strike as of TODAY. Occupy Cleveland itself appears to be working with The City, and Cleveland's Police.

At any rate, this poster is in the tradition of referencing current events in the same way John G's Genghis Con 2009 poster was a reaction to the police brutality in Pittsburgh during a G20 summit. Last year John G's poster was a shout out about Chilean Miners stuck in that mine.

With that, this year, our THIRD Genghis Con, is looking to be the biggest and best yet. We'll get a bunch of updates up shortly, but for now we have one announcement and a couple links to include in this blog post.

• Firstly, the announcement. On the one hand: the show this year will be moving up an hour to 11AM to 5PM, so it will be opening and closing earlier. On the other hand: THE BAR WILL BE OPEN! Huzzah!

• Genghis Con itself now has a facebook fan page, here: Genghis Con Cleveland and there's also a facebook event page, here: Genghis Con 2011 and we also have a twitter feed here: @thegenghiscon

• One of our co-conspirators and the artist responsible for this GC2011 Flyer, Kevin Czapiewski currently has an awesome comix art exhibit (titled Czap!) hanging at Blackbird Baking Company in Lakewood. The show hangs until December 4th (which will give our out of town visitors the opportunity to stop by the Blackbird and check it out while experiencing some of their amazing breads or pastries (feel free to email us if you would like recommendations))- if you're IN town haven't seen it or had any Blackbird in your life, you're assuredly missing out.

• No link to the event just yet, but we'd like to mention that Carol & John's Comic Book Shop will be having their annual Black Friday Midnight Madness Sale from 7pm to Midnight on Friday, November 25th, which is really just a huge party at the store. If you're in from out of town a night early, this party is bananas!

• The popular comics podcast COMICS ARE GO! will be having a Genghis Con Roundtable show in the coming weeks, but we assure you, with nearly 100 past episodes in the bank, at least some of them are worth listening to: CHECK THEM OUT HERE! We highly recommend the Gary Dumm special edition and the Hellboy special edition, but also any update with Mike Sangiacomo and if you figure out which one is a DERF interview, let us know because that one was awesome.

Thanks for checking us out, we look forward to seeing you all on the 26th at The Beachland Ballroom! Keep checking back for updates until then!John Ghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-661945430450924593.post-45275276623634416662011-08-17T08:58:00.000-07:002011-08-17T09:04:44.759-07:00Genghis Con 2011, November 26th at The Beachland BallroomThe Small Press Comic Convention, Genghis Con, returns to Cleveland on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 26th, 2011, from noon to 6 pm at the Beachland Ballroom at 15711 Waterloo Road Cleveland, OH 44110. This is the third year for the convention, which will draw artists, writers, cartoonists, and many other independent comics champions from all over the Mid-West and beyond.

In November of 2009, the founders of Genghis Con set out to establish a Small Press and Alternative Print Media Convention in Cleveland that served as a showcase and converging point for the talent and craftspeople of the region that exists between Michigan, Western Pennsylvania, and all over Ohio. Focusing on the art and language of comics and visual storytelling was the priority. What happened at The Beachland Ballroom that Thanksgiving weekend was a raging success, and everyone that came, exhibitors and attendees alike, had a great time.

In 2010, Genghis Con proved that the success of the debut event wasn't a fluke. Again, people came from all over the map to meet at The Beachland and engage each other with an open exchange of artwork, narratives, and ideas, as well as to sell, buy, and trade the mostly self-published, independent comics and zines, as well as other forms of print media and artwork, that were the focus of the afternoon.

This November, in 2011, for the third year the Genghis Con organizers are excited and committed to repeating all the things that made the first two conventions so successful, but there are some plans in motion for making this year the best Genghis Con yet. At this point, the objective of the organizers is to continue this convention as an annual tradition for the city of Cleveland so that everyone knows that every Thanksgiving weekend, every year, Genghis Con will be happening. Keep an eye on thegenghiscon.com for further announcements as they start to roll out leading up to November 26th.

Further information, and a growing list of guests and exhibitors will be posted as we start to fill this year's roster, and book the guests.

Anyone interested in exhibiting, please email email@example.com, space is limited, but it's still early (as of this posting). We're mostly focused on independent, DIY, alternative comics and cartoonists that do graphic narratives and sequential art, but we're also open to writers, printmakers, zinesters, small press publishers, and practitioners of other forms of independent print media.

Flier for Genghis Con 2011 by Cleveland small press overlord Kevin Czapiewski!

The small press comic convention, Genghis Con, is returning to Cleveland on Saturday November 27th from noon to 6 pm at the Beachland Ballroom at 15711 Waterloo Road Cleveland, OH 44110. This is the second year for the independent press extravaganza which is both comic book convention and art show. Visitors to the show will get to meet graphic artists from around the Midwest who use sequential art as their primary means to tell a story. Admission is $5.00.

Further information and a list of creators can be found at the show's website http://www.thegenghiscon.com/.

This year's show will feature as many as fifty comic creators including local artists Derf, whose "The City" strip appears weekly in papers across the country and Gary Dumm, and Greg Budgett who worked closely as artists for the late Harvey Pekar. Many of the artists attending this year were excited to get back to the show after last year's success.

The creators attending Genghis Con have worked at many different levels from professionally published work to photocopied zines. "There is such an incredible diversity of talent working in small press comic publishing," says one of the organizers, Scott Rudge. "They are telling stories that are truly original and their work is often quite amazing yet it may never be read by more than a handful of people. We started Genghis Con to try to change that."

Last year's convention was such an incredible success because both attendees and creators had the opportunity to interact in a way not possible at a normal comic convention. One of the early innovations instituted by the organizers was to provide table space to the creators at no charge. Rudge believes this changed the dynamic by taking the presure off the artists to "make back their table fee." This breaks down a huge barrier between the artists and the public.

"The Beachland Ballroom has been an amazing partner in this project. When we first thought of doing this show, we didn't think about any other location and when we approached them, they were very enthusiastic about the idea. Thanks to their generosity, we are able to hold our costs down," says Rudge. "We are not doing this show to make money, we are happy to break even. We are just very excited to give people the opportunity to interact with these amazing creators."

One of the most popular features of the show last year was the four page "mini-comic" put together by each of the artists. This comic is free of charge and gives each attendee a sample of the kind of work a particular creator does. When they leave, each attendee will have an anthology of that year's show in their collection of these comics.

"Last year it was very encouraging to see people walking out of the convention with a significant stack of amazingly original reading material for which they paid very little," says Rudge. "I know it sounds ridiculous in light of the consumer onslaught people face on Thanksgiving weekend, but you can find amazing, unique, original and affordable gifts at this show."

This piece is an awesome sequel to the poster this team did for last year's show, also featuring The Khan and Genghis Connie! This year we're set in the Siegel and Shuster's attic, where The Khan has found a pristine mint copy of Action Comics #1. Too badd Connie shot it, that comic sold for $1,000,000.00 earlier this year!

Big thanks to Greg and Gary! They will be at the show again this year!

The small press, independent print media, underground comix exposition GENGHIS CON is back for year two in 2010, at The Beachland Ballroom, in Cleveland Ohio. We're taking over the same date, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, this year it's November 27th, from noon to 6pm.

Last year we had over 40 exhibitors holding down tables and ringing bells left and right. This year we're bringing back some familiar faces, and introducing all new young bloods. Comickers, cartoonists, printmakers, and zinesters of all kinds, from all over the region!

 "I don't get on Facebook much, but with the passing of my friend and collaborator Harvey Pekar I thought I'd say something here. As irascible and curmudgeonly as Harvey might have truthfully appeared in the pages of American Splendor and certainly somewhat in his daily life NOT recorded there, I can only say that in 30 plus years of knowing and dealing with him there was much more.

 He was, first of all, without fail a generous and helpful friend to me, whenever possible finding work that I could do either with him or not. Our working together at first was somewhat cautious, as Greg Budgett and I found that Harvey knew what he wanted and that was ALL that he wanted - we'd sometimes "deviate" particularly pictorially from Harvey's vision. But we hit a rhythm and an understanding, and that's why I'm proud to say that my art brought Harvey and his stories to life in almost every issue of American Splendor published. I "got" Harvey early on, realizing and appreciating that his quasi-reportorial writings about his life was almost zen in approach (although that appraisal Harvey would only laugh off). And so American Splendor became an integral part of my artistic life.

 I am so sorry for his passing, especially for his wife Joyce and daughter Danielle. We have lost a great talent, but they have lost so much more. Laura's and my thoughts are with them. I will miss talking with him and even hearing him kvetch about whatever: editors, publishers etc. So long, Harvey...like a Chekov from Cleveland, some episodes and memories of you are there for the ages to read. I know that I'll never forget you."Girt email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-661945430450924593.post-3173970926146801872010-01-29T15:34:00.000-08:002010-01-29T15:44:03.707-08:00Genghis Con 2009 - Photos #1

GENGHIS CON CELEBRATES RICHES OF MIDWEST INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING
Comic Show Features the Unknown Work of Local Graphic Storytellers

You won't find Superman, expensive back issues or fading Hollywood celebrities at Genghis Con, a comic book convention organized to showcase the work of independent artists and writers from the <st1:place st="on">Midwest</st1:place>. The event will be held at the Beachland Ballroom on Saturday, November 28, 2009 from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm. The convention will feature the talent of approximately 50 graphic storytellers from around the <st1:place st="on">Midwest</st1:place> whose work does not fit into the normal perception of what a comic book should be.

<o:p> For 70 years the part of the country known as the "rust belt" has provided the world with an incredible abundance of creative talent in the art of telling stories with pictures. This form of communication has reached its pinnacle of popularity in the form of the beloved comic book. Many of the biggest names in comics today hail from the <st1:place st="on">Midwest</st1:place>. </o:p>

Comic readers are familiar with such <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:state> natives as Brian Bendis, Brian Vaughn, Fred Van Lente, Harvey Pekar and Jeff Smith. These and many others from around the <st1:place st="on">Great Lakes</st1:place> are the modern personalities shaping graphic storytelling as we know it today. The common thread through each of these current and rising stars of the industry is they began their careers creating and publishing their own material.

Like their famous brethren, the participants of Genghis Con use skill, imagination and craftsmanship to create engaging, original graphic storytelling art. Their work, however, remains largely unpublished outside of the creator's own trips to the local copy center. Genghis Con exists to bring this creative talent together in one place and to provide a venue for interaction with potential readers who may not have any other opportunity to see this work.

The organizers of Genghis Con are committed to creating an event which is unique in many ways. Early in the planning stages, the convention organizers decided to break most of the rules of a normal comic convention. These changes include eliminating the dealer's room and the endless rows of fading TV celebrities. Perhaps the most radical difference is participants will not be charged for table space as they are at other comic conventions. The organizers feel this will free the artists from feeling the pressure to "make up their costs" and allow them to focus on promoting their work.

"We are not doing this to make money," says Scott Rudge, one of the Genghis Con organizers and owner of Astound Comics in <st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">Westlake</st1:city>, <st1:state st="on">Ohio</st1:state></st1:place>.  "We want the creators to use the money they save on renting space to offer inexpensive copies of their work.  This benefits both the artist and the audience in a way not seen at a typical comic con. We want those attending the convention to feel comfortable interacting meaningfully with the creators and we hope to do that by making the communication of ideas as inexpensive as possible."

To further break down the barriers between the artists and readers, Genghis Con attendees will be able to build their own comic book containing the work of each artist at the show. This book will be included at no additional charge with normal admission of $5.00.

"We are looking for creators who use a comic book style format to tell their stories, but we also have accepted some 'zine and poster artists," says Rudge. "While we may have some of the next generation of mainstream stars displaying their work, we are also looking forward to offering the work of those who have no interest in promoting their material beyond the desire to simply tell a story."

The call is out for artists wishing to participate in Genghis Con. Artists are welcome to submit samples of their work for consideration. The organizers of Genghis Con will be accepting submissions until November 15th. For complete details and submission guidelines, creators should go to the event website, www.thegenghiscon.com.

Henrico Police are no longer searching for a missing 11-year-old after finding the body of a young black male in a pool at The Shannon Townhomes.
"I just didn't know what to think," said Frederick "Fred" Fitzgerald Jr.'s friend Malachi Minor. "It wasn't fair."
Henrico Fire Crews found the body of a young boy in the pool around 12:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say this is in the same place Fitzgerald went missing Saturday night.
They're not confirming the body they found is Fitzgerald, but they did say they are no longer searching for the 11-year-old.
Between tears, Minor said he and Fitzgerald used to play basketball together.
"My mom told me when I walked over here that they had found him in the pool, and I just didn't know what to say," Minor added.
Police tell us this pool has been blocked off since 11:00 p.m. Saturday. Neighbors say parents are supposed to supervise children anytime they're at the pool, but they say that doesn't always happen.
"We would just stay in that area because we all knew he couldn't swim so we just stayed with him," Minor noted.
Minor is still coming to terms with what happened, and Fitzgerald's family is asking for privacy. Despite this tragedy, Minor will always remember why they became friends in the first place.
"He was funny and talented," said Minor. "He made all of us laugh a lot. He was a very fun, cool person."
Police say it will take up to 24 hours to positively identify the body. Fitzgerald was last seen in the 600 block of Windomere Avenue around 7:30 p.m. Saturday night.

5 Attractively Priced Stocks with Growing Dividends
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Dividends can be very attractive in a low rate environment, such as the one we currently find ourselves in, where the Fed has vowed to keep target rates low through mid-2015. Worth noting is that dividend stocks are not without risks, however we look to limit risk by ensuring the companies can afford to pay dividends throughout an extended economic contraction.
We have identified five such stocks that pay a dividend yield over 4%. In addition to solid dividends, all of these companies have dividends that have grown 5% annually over the last five-years. These companies also appear to be cheap on a valuation basis, all trading with a PEG ratio less than 2.0.
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), the mammoth chip maker, is expected to see 2012 revenues down 1.3% due to declining PC sales. Yet data center growth is forecasted to drive revenue growth of 1.3% for 2013. Intel pays a dividend yield of 4.2%, and has grown dividends at 6.5% annually over the last five years. The company's PEG ratio is the lowest of our five stocks mentioned here, at only 1.0. Even as the company trades in line with its peers, the opportunity for a 4%+ dividend is a better deal than most bonds. The company's potential growth rate also accounts for the its wherewithal to navigate a tricky tech market and pivot in an effort to offer new products amidst a slowing of PC sales. The company, however, did manage to post EPS of $0.60 for 3Q, versus $0.57 for the same quarter last year.
Intel saw six firms have over 3% of their 2Q 13 portfolios invested in the company, with Hawkins Capital having almost 15%. Big names were Jim Simons and Ken Fisher owning over 16 million shares and having at least 1.3% of their 13F portfolios invested; check out all the funds that love Intel.
Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE: PAA) is a transportation and storage company for crude oil and refined products. Plains appears as one of the cheapest stocks of our five with a PEG ratio of 1.2, but it also pays a robust dividend that yields 4.8%. The company has grown its dividend at 5.7% annually for the last five years. As well, the company is looking to break into natural gas liquids with recent acquisitions in the space, including the Canadian natural gas liquids business of BP PLC. Plains trades well below the likes of some of the other oil & gas transport companies at 9x earnings, while other top companies, such as Buckeye Partners and Energy Transfer Equity, trade above 25x.
Plains saw a couple top names lower their 1Q stake by over 30% each in 2Q: Chuck Royce and Jim Simons. The company was up 13% through 2Q, merely keeping pace with the S&P 500, leaving firms frustrated despite its attractive valuation. Interestingly, since then, the company has outpaced the S&P 500 by 10%.
Southern Copper (NYSE: SCCO) mines and smelts copper in southern Peru, Mexico and Chile. Southern Copper is a company that has continued to grow its dividend at a 5-year CAGR of 7.5% despite a global slowdown that has slowed copper demand. The yield on its dividend is 4.5%, and its shares trade at a PEG ratio of only 1.3. The company has managed to post strong results of late on the back of better copper volumes. Its shares are generally correlated with copper prices, and so a bullish outlook for copper as global demand picks up is positive for the company.
The top four fund owners by shares all increased their 1Q stakes by over 100% during 2Q. Namely, top funds invested included Ken Griffin and Jim Simons, who upped their stakes in Southern Copper by 100% and 900%, respectively.
Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is the world's largest military weapons manufacturer. Lockheed has grown its dividend the highest of our five stocks over the last 5-years at a 21% CAGR. The yield on the company's dividend is also the second highest of our five stocks at 5.0%. Lockheed recently posted 3Q earnings of $2.21, compared to $1.99 for the same quarter last year; check out our most recent Lockheed earnings analysis. Despite possible defense spending cuts, the company is up 15% year to date and saw its price target increased to $100 by S&P last month.
First Eagle Investment Management was the top fund owner invested in Lockheed at the end of June, with almost 4 million shares. On the other hand, a couple smaller firms had their funds heavily concentrated in First Eagle, including Chieftain Capital and Elm Ridge Capital, with 10.6% and 4.3% of their firm's 13F portfolio, respectively.
Vodafone (NASDAQ: VOD) pays the highest dividend of the bunch with a yield of 5.2%, and a solid 5-year dividend growth rate of 7%. The company has a PEG that comes in among the highest of our five stocks at 1.7, yet we believe that Vodafone also has some of the best growth prospects given the fact it has a horse in the mobile payments race. Vodafone not only makes this dividend list, but it is also a proud member of our 5 dividend monsters hedge funds love. However, Vodafone is seeing weakness in Europe. The mobile communications company expects to see European revenues down in fiscal year 2012, yet its emerging markets segment should see 7% growth. The company is also making synergistic acquisitions to fuel growth, including a cable and wireless acquisition that will allow the company to save on leasing from competitors. The company's solid growth prospects might also be overlooked by investors; shares currently trade at a trailing P/E of 12.5x but a forward P/E of 10.5x.
The top three fund owners by shares all gave Vodafone solid votes of confidence during 2Q. Top fund owner Arrowstreet Capital's position was an entirely new holding that made up 2.3% of the firm's 2Q 13F portfolio. As well, the two other top firms, Jim Simons and Michael Messner, upped their 1Q stakes by at least 50% each.

By Dr. Elliot Block, Research Fellow, Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition
The inclusion of buffers in dairy rations is a well-researched and successful strategy. But, buffers seem to have become a forgotten tool—or at the very least, one that's taken for granted. Neglecting this important part of dairy nutrition can have lasting impacts on cow health and ration.
For example, the owners of a 1,000-cow dairy were concerned their herd was not meeting its productivity potential. Milk production hovered at 26,500 pounds, but milk fat levels seldom rose above 3.4%, or 901 pounds, and dry matter intake (DMI) was somewhat inconsistent, both on an individual basis and across pens. Stocking rate varied, but pens at 115% of capacity were not uncommon.
Furthermore, cows seem to be plagued by various digestive and efficiency concerns—like inconsistent manure scores, signs of indigestion and subclinical acidosis, and a less-than-desirable feed conversion rate.
A look at the herd's health records indicated a significant number of off-feed incidents, low rumination rates and cud-chewing activity and poor locomotion scores—along with other hoof health challenges.
A look at the ration also indicated that something wasn't quite right.
The corn silage-based diet contained an adequate starch-to-fiber ratio and micro and macro minerals were included at recommended levels. However, buffer inclusion rates were minimal—the diet contained only 0.25 pounds of buffer per cow per day and had drifted downward over time. Consequently, it took a while for the effects of this action to appear.
Research1 as far back as 1965 shows that buffers positively impact cow health and performance. And the recommended inclusion rate for sodium bicarbonate, for example, is 0.75% to 1.0% of TMR dry matter.2
The research on buffers over the years has been conducted with diets that were about 50/50 corn silage and haylage. This consideration carries increasing weight since dairies feed cows differently than in the past. Today's diets include more fermentable carbohydrates—which require more buffering, not less. Rations also minimize fiber (physically effective NDF) and rely more on microbial protein and fermentation than in the past. In addition, variation in feed ingredient quality plays a significant role in ration performance.
Also, overcrowded facilities force cows to gorge rather than eat small meals, which contributes to rumen acidosis.

Ushguli is a community of four to five villages next to a mountain in Svaneti.
Get in[edit]
Transportation into Ushguli is very limited. There is a road from Kutaisi that is serviced by private vehicles. Otherwise a trip from Mestia is the easiest way to see Ushguli. A private vehicle can take you up for a day trip, or for a few days. The cost will be ~$50-$70 USD for a day trip. The cost would be longer if you stay a while longer. The trip from Mestia takes about 4-5 hours despite being less than 70km in distance due to the poor quality of the road. It is also possible to hike from Mestia in 3-4 days which is a great way to see Svaneti for the able-bodied.
Get around[edit]
Once in the villages, you can walk between them all very easily.
A visit to the Ethnography museum is well worth the GEL 5-6 that the local children will ask for admission. Housed in a preserved Svan house, the museum contains artifacts ranging in age from the long history of the Svaneti regions. The local children will provide rehearsed description of the artifacts in passable English.
The Georgian wartime treasury. Placed in the "most inaccessible part of Georgia" the countless national treasures were held in the Ushguli monastery during periods of conflict.
There are a few cafes, and stores. You could also get food from your guest house.
Ask anyone in the village for a place to sleep. The price will be $20-$30 per night and include all your food.
Go next[edit]
You need to hire a private taxi.
- Mazeri - Svaneti mountain village, surrounded by a stunningly beautiful landscapes and huge waterfalls. The starting point for a several exciting Svaneti trekking routes, including Mount Ushba glacier trek.

Huge day for the Mets ownership, as the Wilpons and Saul Katz settled their legal differences with Madoff trustee Irving Picard.
You could argue that the Wilpons got lucky, that they wouldn't have fared well in a jury trial and that some of Picard's witnesses would've been particularly compelling. But it's moot now. Just as Ryan Braun prevailed in his rather different legal battle, no...Read more »

Drain spinach, then squeeze in cheesecloth. Cook sausage in skillet, crumbling as you stir. Drain grease from the sausage. Add pork brains and cook mixture for a few minutes. Grind the spinach through a meat grinder, making sure the spinach is well drained of liquid. A few crackers at the end of the grinding will help clean the grinder. Put the meat mixture through the grinder - adding crackers at the end to get all the meat through the grinder. Mix the spinach, meat, beaten egg yolks, grated cheeses, olive oil, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use. This makes about 5 Cups of dressing, that should be enough to make approximately 300 ravioli. 3 makings of dough will be about enough for the sauce above. 1 quart plain flour about 1/2 cup water 3 egg whites 1 teaspoon salt about 1/3 cup olive oil In a mixer or large bowl, put the flour, mixed with the salt. Add the egg whites, then the olive oil. Mix and slowly add the water, a little at a time until the dough appears well mixed, but not wet. Knead for 8 - 10 minutes, or until the dough has a velvety feel. Put the dough onto the rolling surface and cover with a mixing bowl for 15 - 30 minutes. Cut the ball of dough into 2 pieces and roll each one until thin, almost transparent. While rolling the first half, place the other in the mixing bowl and cover with a damp cloth. A small amount of flour is needed to roll out the dough. After the dough is rolled out, fold the dough in half and cut the sides so that all side appear equal. Unfold the dough and place the dressing on the dough. Put a small amount, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, in rows on one half of the rolled dough. After the dressing has been placed on one half of the dough, paint the other half lightly with water immediately before folding the dough over the half with dressing. After folding the dough, press between the dressing pats with fingers. Cut between the pats with a ravioli cutter. Quick freeze the cut ravioli on a baking sheet ( at least 30 minutes, the ravioli should be firm enough to place in freezer bags) and then place in the freezer bags ( Ziploc work the best). Freeze until ready to cook. Cook by adding the ravioli to boiling water (salted with a little olive oil added). Cook until the dough is easily pierced with a sharp knife point. It can take from 15 to 30 minutes. Be sure that there is enough water to allow the ravioli to move freely in the boiling water. Gravy 3 large cans whole tomatoes 1 large can tomato paste (12 oz.) 1 large can tomato sauce (15 oz.) 5 to 6 lbs. chuck roast (bone-in) 1/2 dozen large onions, chopped 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped 2 bay leaves dried parsley (sprinkled generously) 6 stalks of celery, chopped 3 packages dried mushrooms olive oil salt black pepper Begin by draining the liquid from the tomatoes, reserving the tomato juice. Be chopping the onions and celery while the tomatoes drain. Put a little olive oil in the bottom of the pot to be used ( a large pot will be needed). Brown all sides of the chuck roast. Remove the meat when browned and add the onions, celery, and garlic to the pot. Cook until transparent. Add the reserved tomato juice, and chop the tomatoes into small pieces before adding ( a food processor works best). Add the tomato paste and the tomato sauce. Rinse the cans with water and add to the pot. Place the meat into the pot. Add enough water to cover the meat and vegetables. Put in the Bay Leaves and generously sprinkle the parsley. Put the top on the pot and cook slowly for 3 to 4 hours, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the meat after the 3 to 4 hours ( the longer the better) and cut the meat into small pieces before returning to the gravy. Add the reconstituted mushrooms at this time along with their juice. If you can find it, add 1 teaspoon of Pesto all Genovese Basil Sauce at this time also. Cook a while longer, stirring to thoroughly mix the meat, mushrooms, and tomato gravy. Cool gravy and package for freezing. This recipe makes approximately 25 cups of gravy. Reconstituting the Dried Mushrooms Put the dried mushrooms in a pan and cover with warm water. The pan can be set on the back of the stove while the gravy cooks. The mushrooms should soak for several hours in the water, more water may need to be added as the mushrooms reconstitute. Carefully lift the mushrooms out of the water and pour the liquid through a coffee filter - making sure to save the strained liquid. Chop the mushrooms into small pieces and add to the gravy along with the strained liquid.

Fabulous writing about food and its magical ties to who we are and how we feel.
Paleo breakfast fry-up: kale, red cabbage and onion with eggs on top. And my beloved togarashi on top.
Paleo/primal "fast food" breakfast made fancy by sprinkling a little black lava salt on (a gift from a friend).
I don't know much about Gordon Ramsay, other than he can be an asshole to people and swear a blue streak. I don't watch a lot of TV.
What my grandmother (probably incorrectly) called coddled eggs, and my auntie swore by as "proper eggs," Ramsay calls scrambled eggs, and signs with a flourish as his own.
He is pretty funny though.

Minigore 2: Zombies Review
Summary: Sometimes sequels flop, sometimes they become their predecessors evolved. This is a perfect example of the latter.
While it's no secret and not new to the App Store, Minigore 2 : Zombies is currently free for a limited time to celebrate Minigore's fourth anniversary.
After recently downloading the game, I'd come to realise I had forgotten how much fun Minigore was. Mountain Sheep's sublime sequel is bigger, badder and more chaotic than ever.
If you're a fan of classic arcade arena-based twin-stick shooters, like Smash TV, or Robotron 2084, you're bound to love Minigore 2.
Never played a twin-stick shooter before? Let me tell you, the controls are awesome!
You have two joysticks, or in this case, two virtual joysticks. The one on your left controls your movement and the one on your right, controls the direction of which you fire you weapon, or swing your melee weapon. Both are omnidirectional, smooth and give a, "unique to it's genre", gaming experience for the player. This game also has an auto-aim option and you can show, or hide the virtual joysticks for your playing and viewing pleasure.
The furries are gone ( at least they were, I'm sure I've seen some of them, maybe added in an update? I believe you can now play as one too! Oh yes, surprise surprise it has something to do with facebook, I digress. ) A new threat emerges from the dark corners of Hardland. The legendary Metusalem has brought to life undead hordes of zombies, including giant lumberjacks, killer penguins and a single moose. Slice, dice and shoot you way through sunny lakes, graveyards and freezing plains into a stormy forest for the final showdown. A desert arena is also available as an unlockable venue, where there are no items and no saves. Just you, "them" and your place on the leaderboards. Which leads me nicely to the fact there are also eight achievements to "achieve". Both of these can be found in Game Center.
60 different enemies, seven unique bosses and 300 awesone challenges await you. There are 20 playable characters, including guest stars, such as Zombieville USA and of course John and Jerry Gore make an epic return.
As well as unlocking and levelling up your character, you can unlock and upgrade 10 or more melee and ranged weapons ,and there are single use items available for purchase in the merchant's wagon. This can be accessed at anytime during gameplay, or inbetween levels. The game's chosen currency are gold coins. These are dropped in piles, or chests by enemies upon death.
Your health bar is shown by way of three hearts. Lose all three and it's game over. Luckily, you can restore them via crate pick ups and progress is saved periodically, including level saves. Clovers can also be gathered, collect three and enable beast mode to temporarily plough through your enemies like a steamroller! Pick up weapon and companion crates to use unlocked weapons with limited ammunition, or durability and a companion with limited time fighting at your side.
For the most part you want to be constantly moving in this game,
or you could soon find yourself becoming surrounded, or cornered – overwhelmed by more rotting flesh than you could shake a stick at! Forcing you to hack and slash, or shoot a clear path to safety. Being arena-based the maps are relatively small, but big enough to catch a breather and not feel claustrophobic. Use the environment to your advantage. Such as moving between walls to lessen and separate the mass of approaching undead. Melee weapons are useful against smaller zombies, but not so effective towards larger foes. Get too close and you could be pummelled to death. Some enemies have ranged weapons, so will you also find yourself dodging projectiles.
You view the action from a third-person perspective and it looks great. No matter how much is going on on screen, there is no lag. The graphics look as though they were ripped straight from a beautifully illustrated pop-up 3D storybook. Each character has their own amusing one-liners and it's one of those games I'd definitely recommend playing while wearing headphones to enhance the experience with it's fantastic soundtrack.
Random patterns ensure no two fights are the same, the animations are procedural and thanks to the proprietary engine, are capable of showing upto 150 zombies on screen at any one time. The game is also universal, so you get "MOAR" Minigore in more ways than one. With the developers including both level based challenges and arena high scores, this gives the game massive replayability value too.
Should you like your games frantic, challenging, bloody and with a sense of humour, get your gore on and download Mountain Sheep's second helping of intestines and internal organs on iOS now.

Why No One Hears Arguments for Marriage
What that Means for Us
Topics: Apologetics, Christian Living, Culture/Institutions, Homosexuality, Marriage & Family, Stonestreet_Links
Valuable Cultural Observation
Some of the above comments express concern over whether our proclamation of the true meaning of marriage begins with or includes God's revelation about marriage.
The main point I believe John is making in this commentary still applies. John said, "When Christians make arguments for the traditional family, they're invoking a world and a way of living that many people literally can't imagine." Whether we use Girgis, Anderson, and George's "conjugal view" argument or the many declarations on marriage from the Bible, the culture is still not hearing us. The message is culturally unintelligible to them.
Just as John said, this doesn't mean we Christians need to remain silent and wait. It means we use whatever valid points of persuasion we can based on who we're talking to and where they stand right now in terms of their worldview.
Personally, I think the insight expressed in this commentary is extremely helpful. Experience bears out the point. I can share Scripture. I can argue from nature. I still encounter people who hear either one as though I were indeed talking about "the idea of arranged marriages and dowries."
Let's be faithful witnesses, both in our words and in loving our spouses and children in a godly manner. Let's pray that the Holy Spirit will use both to awaken people around us to the beauty of marriage as God established it to be.
Blessings to all,
Gary Hutchinson
We cannot win the argument for marriage
By entering the public debate on homosexual marriage one is forced to assume the moral equivalence of the gay life style. If you build your argument on that false premises, you cannot create a coherent Godly position. Thoughtful Christians need to redefine the conversation.
gay marriage
For a different perspective on Peter J. Leithart conclusions, consider: Waving a surrender flag on gay marriage: http://thinkpoint.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/waving-a-surrender-flag-on-gay-marriage/
Eyes & Ears Shut
There is none so blind as those who refuse to see.
Don't leave God out
You make several points in this commentary; but at the same time you highlight the cure, you also highlight the problem. "This is true even when we're careful to avoid biblical or theological language in our arguments:" If you want to honor the institution of marriage, it must ALWAYS be about God. The world will never listen to our arguments for marriage when the church fails to live by the Word. You've said previously that we can't change culture until we've been transformed by God's holy character, and that continues to be true. But that extends to our marriages as much as to us as individuals.
"But when I saw you with your family, I was forced to take your talk seriously." When marriages within the church are about good feelings, tradition, procreation, or morality; we miss the point, and our marriages will have a hard time surviving the storms of life. When we recognize that the institution of marriage is about two unlike beings living every day sacrificially for one another for life, we see a picture on Earth of how God wants to relate to us spiritually. Anything less denies Him the glory He deserves. And anything less will be looked on by the world as hypocrisy.

My family LOVED this recipe! I made a few changes to the original recipe though. I added seasoning salt and garlic powder to the flour for the chicken. Then I dipped it in an egg white and then into panko. It added a really good crunch! Especially after you pour the wine reduction over the chicken. I heated the wine first for the Alfredo sauce in a saucepan to cook off the alcohol (since my toddler was eating it). Then I cooled it and folded it in to the Alfredo mixture. It took a little extra time, but it was worth it. My husband requested I make this for company it was so good!

Cat Zingano anxious for Octagon return after multiple injuries, personal tragedyKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports6 hrs ago
There's no script or manual with the right advice for how to deal with the suicide of a loved one.
It is particularly torturous for a private person in a public job, such as UFC women's bantamweight contender Cat Zingano, who will return to competition for the first time since the death of her husband, Mauricio, in January.
Zingano hasn't fought since defeating Miesha Tate on April 13, 2013, in Las Vegas – a win that was supposed to earn her a spot coaching opposite champion Ronda Rousey on The Ultimate Fighter.
A title shot went along with the coaching gig, but Zingano lost both opportunities when she injured her right knee in practice.
As she was compensating for the right, she injured the left and had to receive platelet-rich plasma therapy and stem cell therapy at the Ortho Regenerative Institute in Costa Mesa, Calif., in October.
But her husband, a noted coach and jiu-jitsu black belt, took his own life in January, and that sidelined Zingano even more.
As she has coped with the tragedy, her desire to once again fight has come back. All of her life, she said, she's been a fighter.
Major shakeup appears in the works at Mayweather PromotionsKevin Iole at Boxing17 hrs ago
Major changes appear afoot at Mayweather Promotions, with CEO Leonard Ellerbe's job in apparent jeopardy, according to comments by pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. to FightHype.com's Ben Thompson.
In a brief question-and-answer session with Thompson, Mayweather indicated unhappiness with cutman/hand wrapper Rafael Garcia, and suggested there are problems between Ellerbe and himself.
Just last week, a glowing feature on Ellerbe ran in the Washington Post in which Mayweather lavished praised upon him.
It takes brains to want to surround yourself with brains. I want to surround myself with the best businessmen that I can possibly surround myself with. Leonard is a very shrewd businessman.
Why boxing stars like Floyd Mayweather want to avoid Gennady GolovkinKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports1 day ago
LAS VEGAS – Gennady Golovkin peered out of a window on the south side of a penthouse lounge in the Mandalay Bay Resort, staring at a lush golf course that the high-rolling visitors to this gambling capital eagerly fork over $300 or more a round to play.
It is unlike anything that Golovkin may have ever encountered in his native Kazakhstan. Asked if he played golf, the middleweight champion snickered.
Turning away from the window, he said, "A little, but I'm not that good. Not like boxing."
The truth is, Golovkin could be a PGA Tour regular and still not be as good as he is in boxing.
The WBA middleweight champion, who will face Marco Antonio Rubio on Oct. 18 at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., has quickly earned a spot among boxing's elite.
The fight with Rubio is his debut in Southern California and is already such a hot ticket that officials have released standing room tickets, which is a first for a boxing match there.
But the Rubio fight isn't the one that really is going to get the juices flowing, for either Golovkin or the public. He wants a marquee match in the worst way in which he can prove himself against one of boxing's established major names.
Oscar De La Hoya seems prepared to guide Golden Boy through difficult watersKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports1 day ago
LAS VEGAS – Friday, for the first time in the more than 10 years since he founded Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya seemed engaged, aware and in charge of what was going on with his company.
In the early days, he was seemingly content to defer to his onetime manager, Richard Schaefer, whom he appointed as Golden Boy's first and only CEO.
De La Hoya was an active boxer and though he'd invested a great deal of money in founding and operating Golden Boy, he seemed content to play a more secondary role.
After his career ended with a drubbing at the hands of Manny Pacquiao in 2008, De La Hoya frequently would say that he'd want to be in charge, but his actions rarely matched his words.
He had a drug and alcohol problem, as it turned out, and wasn't really capable of having a meaningful impact upon his company.
He made his first public appearance in July after leaving a rehabilitation center, and held a news conference in which he said all the right things. Still, it came off scripted and he didn't seem fully aware of the complex issues facing him with Schaefer no longer with the company.
Floyd Mayweather beats Marcos Maidana via unanimous decision in rematchKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports4 days ago
LAS VEGAS – Floyd Mayweather's nose was swollen and his lips were busted up. He seemed low key and subdued, even after yet another dominant performance.
The week was filled with unwanted controversies and distractions. He was dogged about domestic violence incidents in his past and ripped about thoughtless comments he made about Ray Rice.
The work of promoting a major fight had clearly taken a toll on him. And, he's moving inexorably toward his 38th birthday.
Love him or loathe him, you can't deny him.
Mayweather once again proved he's far and away the best fighter in the world by routing Marcos Maidana on Saturday before 16,144 at the MGM Grand Garden, retaining the WBC welterweight and super welterweight titles with a unanimous decision.
Interview with Fedor Emelianenko offers fresh look at the former MMA starKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports5 days ago
Rarely has a sports star at the top of his profession for as long as Fedor Emelianenko remained so relatively anonymous.
The notoriously private Russian reached a mythical status among MMA fans by the mid-point of the 2000s, but remained an enigma to even the most tuned-in among them.
Michael Schiavello, the longtime MMA broadcaster, discovered that as he was preparing for an hour-long interview with Emelianenko that will air Sept. 19 at 10 p.m. ET on AXS TV on his series, "The Voice Versus." He spent nearly a month preparing for the interview and still wasn't able to come up with much.
"The fact that so many people consider Fedor the greatest mixed martial arts fighter ever, or at least one of the top five, and he's such a major figure in this sport and in its history and yet he's still shrouded in such mystery and intrigue was compelling to me," Schiavello said. "The longest interview with him I could find was only about 10 or 12 minutes.
How Mayweather-Maidana II should unfold Saturday nightKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports5 days ago
LAS VEGAS – The question was innocent, harmless, but Floyd Mayweather Sr. reacted as if his manhood had been challenged.
"C'mon, man," he said in that slow, high-pitched tone he uses when he's exasperated. "Get out of here with that."
He sort of laughed. It was hard to tell if he was angry, or amused that he'd been asked his prediction for his son's bout Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden against Marcos Maidana.
Mayweather Jr. will risk his WBC welterweight and super welterweight titles and, most importantly, his perfect 46-0 record, in a rematch against the man who gave him one of the hardest fights of his career.
The fight is on pay-per-view at the hefty price of $74.95 for high definition. It hasn't been a great time to sell a bout. A few weeks ago, hip-hop artist Curtis Jackson, whose stage name is 50 Cent, questioned Mayweather Jr.'s ability to read. Last week, Mayweather Jr.'s former fiancée, Shantel Jackson, sued him, alleging, among other things, assault, battery and defamation.
Why Antonio 'Big Foot' Silva's failed drug test hurt more than just himselfKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports6 days ago
Antonio "Big Foot" Silva was not the first UFC fighter to test positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
And you'd have to be a complete fool to believe he's going to be the last.
Silva is like virtually every one of the dozens, perhaps hundreds by now, of fighters who failed a post-fight drug test. It wasn't, he said, his fault. And he wasn't trying to cheat.
He did cheat, mind you, but talk to him and he'll insist that it wasn't his intention.
It never is, is it?
Silva's failure tarnished what should have been one of the most special moments in UFC history. His Dec. 7, 2013, fight in Brisbane, Australia, with Mark Hunt, which was scored a majority draw, was everything fight fans want a match to be: There was tremendous punishment delivered, non-stop action, plenty of drama and frequent swings of momentum.
A pair of mid-level fighters – both entered the fight coming off losses, and Silva was just 2-3 in his last five – showed the kind of bravery, determination, guts and effort that makes lifelong fight fans and makes the athletes legends.
Why trainer Robert Garcia has such a unique perspective of Floyd MayweatherKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports6 days ago
LAS VEGAS – As 1999 dawned, 21-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr. sat atop the Ring Magazine ratings in the super featherweight division.
Mayweather won his first world championship in stunning fashion on Oct. 3, 1998, when he utterly destroyed Genaro Hernandez to win the WBC championship.
Hernandez was one of the best and most respected fighters in the game and was unbeaten at 130 pounds going into the fight.
That Mayweather won wasn't that unexpected; he was a 1996 Olympic bronze medalist and for years, experts had raved about his ability as one of the sport's top prospects.
But it was the manner in which he completely shut down Hernandez that opened eyes. Hernandez was never in the fight. Offensively and defensively, Mayweather overwhelmed him.
Only three weeks after Mayweather won the first of his many world titles, a 24-year-old from Oxnard, Calif., made the first successful defense of the IBF 130-pound title he'd won months earlier.
Robert Garcia, then known as "Grandpa," knocked out Ramon Ledon in the fifth round on Oct. 24, 1998, in Atlantic City, N.J. Garcia opened 1999 as Ring's third-rated 130-pounder.
Casino taps out, awards UFC president Dana White a 'title' beltKevin Iole at Cagewriter7 days ago
LAS VEGAS – For the time being, Dana White is the world champion.
He is, at least, according to Palms Resort Casino president Todd Greenberg. White has been so successful playing blackjack at the Palms that he was first banned by the hotel and then, after returning to gamble there, asked to dramatically cut the amount that he wagers per hand.
White declined and took his gambling action elsewhere.
It ordinarily wouldn't be much of a story, except that when White was banned the first time, Palms employees nearly revolted. White is a legendarily good tipper and employees were upset that he was let go. Several Vegas sources said it wasn't uncommon for White to have a $10,000 meal at the Palms' trendy steakhouse, then drop a $10,000 tip on top of it.
In part to assuage employees, White was allowed to return to gamble at the Palms in March. But after a big hot streak that lasted into June, the Palms cut the amount White could play per hand.
