CNN: Are the rumors finally put to rest?
Kudrow: The creators have put them to rest. NBC has. I don't know who else needs to say, "It's really not happening."
CNN: Entertainment Weekly recently listed "The Comeback" as one of the 100 All-Time Greatest TV Shows. Do you think you'd ever revisit that show?
Kudrow: We talk about it all the time, we just haven't asked HBO. Maybe a special, maybe not the series again. At the time we didn't see where it would end. (The character) really just wants celebrity and I think now that we're all a little more comfortable with that notion, it could be interesting.

Activision Publishing has announced that Destiny, the latest game in the works at Bungie, will launch on September 9th, 2014, for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The Destiny Beta will kick off in the summer of 2014, available first on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
Set in the distant future, Destiny casts players as Guardians of the last city on Earth, who will traverse the ancient ruins of our solar system from the red dunes of Mars to the lush jungles of Venus. Able to wield incredible power, players must battle humanity's enemies and reclaim all that was lost during the collapse of mankind's Golden Age.
Destiny's many destinations will feature areas called Public Spaces where players journeying solo or with friends will seamlessly cross paths with other players and Fireteams, some on similar missions, others engaging in completely different activities. And in the public events, gamers can join real-time dynamic events that players and Fireteams in the area can choose to engage in. These Public Events are short skirmishes where multiple players work together to defeat their common enemies and collect awesome loot.

"Rommunism"? Or, Oligarchy? If Mitt Romney wins, we will "all" work at Walmart as the fat cats working on Wall Street get more wealthy
Tuesday, October 16th, 2012Some folks on Twitter have been referring to Mitt Romney's crony capitalism as Rommunism — but I prefer to call it a direction that is heading towards an oligarchy, or system of top elites while destroying the middle class.
If Mitt Romney wins, we will "all" work at Walmart as the fat cats working on Wall Street get more wealthy, and as MUSE eloquently puts it: "It's time the fat cats had a heart attack …."
A modest protest of Bain Capital's role in the ongoing layoffs at the Freeport Sensata plant has led to a full-fledged grass-roots effort to give displaced local workers a voice.
Cheryl Randecker of Freeport is one of the Sensata workers who organized a Bain Capital protest, which took place outside the Sensata Technologies/Honeywell plant in Freeport. Her stories has stayed with us and we will continue to pound that drum with regard to Romney's history of hurting the middle class worker.
In early 2011, Sensata announced it would be closing its local plant by the end of 2012, and relocating the jobs there to a plant in China. Normal operations will continue at the Freeport plant until then, but roughly 170 jobs are being phased out gradually. Sensata is a maker of sensors and controls that are used in aircraft, automobiles, and electric motors.
Recently, it was revealed that Sensata is owned by Bain Capital, the private equity firm that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney helped start. On Monday, June 18, while Romney was campaigning in Wisconsin, Randecker and over a dozen of her fellow workers staged a protest urging Romney to visit Freeport to see firsthand how companies are "killing jobs and sending them overseas," states a news release from Stand Up! Chicago, a labor coalition that supports Randecker's cause.
Randecker said her group may hold additional protests in the future and is working to urge Congress to pass the Bring Jobs Home Act. This legislation would give eligible firms a tax credit to relocate outsourced jobs back to the U.S.
"With the people backing up our issue with Sensata, we're hoping it will snowball," Randecker said. "It might be too late for me and my job, but not for my kids."
Randecker, a single parent, said she plans to return to college and get a degree. She has worked for Honeywell and Sensata for a combined total of 33 years.

Roller Derby!
The Maui Roller Girls want to bring the famous old school sport here, but first they need a place to skate
by Krista Sherer
May 01, 2008
A few weeks ago I went to Kalama Park in Kihei to see the Maui Roller Girls. It was public skating day at the rink. The sun was setting while pop music played in the background. I curled my fingers around the chainlink fence as I watched about two-dozen derby girls wearing black shorts or skirts, fishnets and green tank tops deftly skated around a handful of children. I found myself surprisingly excited to hear the sound of roller skates on concrete.
After a few minutes a commanding voice came over the loudspeaker. "Please be careful," the disembodied voice announced to the girls. "There are children here." Over the course of the next 30 minutes, the voice telling the girls to "slow down" or "skate with the rest of the people" became more frequent and, to the girls, more exasperating.
Roller Derby is new to Maui, but not to Hawai'i. In the 1960's the old Civic Auditorium on Oahu was often packed with fans during televised bouts. A recent resurgence has hit the islands with zeal, creating two teams on Oahu and one on Maui. Though the Maui Roller Girls are ready to contend with the other island teams, they still have no place to practice.

"That is really the problem," Kelly "Killah Kelly" Galvez, who formed Maui Roller Girls, told me. "With us only being able to skate here on the open skate nights, we're not gonna be able to train and our skills won't get any better. We can't run a real practice. Until we find a permanent venue or even if we find a confined, flat slab of nice concrete that is safe and well lit, that is open for public use, we really won't be doing much of anything."
But for a variety of reasons—some of them depending on who you ask—the county won't allow Maui Roller Girls use of the Kalama Park skating rink, except during the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. public skating time on Wednesdays. Galvez, who says the area would benefit from the good crowd the Roller Girls would bring, can't understand the county's refusal.
"It's an organized women's sport," she said. "It's a family friendly event. The practices and bouts are clean and open to the public to watch. It really could only help them."
* * *
Kelly Galvez moved to Maui from Sacramento, California in October 2007. There she skated with the Sac City Roller Girls.
"I really missed derby and after training with the Oahu derby girls I knew it was a great time to bring it to Maui," she said. "Girls I had talked to got really excited and because it was new to Maui, I just felt it would be a good idea."
Galvez set about organizing a team. One of those who joined was Susan Ponoton, who recently moved to Maui from New York and heard about the Maui Roller Girls on the radio.

"I've never even roller-skated but it sounded like something fun to learn, something totally new," Ponoton said. "They also sounded like the kind of girls I would want to hang out with. They really are amazing. I felt welcomed 100 percent. It's like a new family. I love it."
Eventually Galvez contacted the county, asking about arranging practice time at the Kalama Skating Rink, the only rink on the island. Officials told her to contact Rick Ortiz, who manages the rink and handles scheduling. Ortiz told Galvez that Sunday evenings were possible, but that he first needed to check with the Maui Inline Hockey Association's Board of Directors.
As will be seen, the arrangement between the hockey association and the county Parks and Recreation Department over who actually controls access to the rink is curious and confusing. The association leases the rink from the county. But for reasons that never really became clear, they seem to be calling the shots as to who gets to use the rink during the vast majority of the week when they're not playing hockey.
A few months went by with no word from Ortiz. So Galvez called him back. That's when Ortiz said the hockey association board of directors had denied the Maui Roller Girls practice time because of "liability issues and scheduling."
This surprised Galvez, who explained that all the girls on the team would be covered by USA Roller Sports—the national governing body for all competitive roller sports in the U.S.—for practice as well as special events and that it would be chartered to the rink. Ortiz insisted that the Maui Inline Hockey Association's insurance would not cover roller derby. He explained that the girls had to be on the rink's insurance if they wanted to practice roller derby, and that wasn't going to happen.
(Insurance concerns don't seem to affect the Kalama Skate Park, where kids fly through the air on skate boards just 50 feet from the Kalama roller rink).
In any case, I called Floyd Miyozono, the county's Chief of Recreation, to get his take on why the girls couldn't get practice time. Miyozono said he was not aware of any decision to deny rink access to the Maui Roller Girls and said he'd follow up with Ortiz.
Then I asked if the county needed to be in the loop as to decisions Ortiz was making regarding rink access. "Yes, definitely," Miyozono said. "I don't think he [Ortiz] should be making these decisions, especially when he makes his own schedule and is also making it difficult for others."

The next day, after conferring with Ortiz, Miyozono called me back with a new explanation.
"According to Rick, the girls
were not willing to
come up with any insurance to also cover the Inline Hockey Association," he said (emphasis added). "Rick Ortiz did speak with the insurance carrier and they had strongly recommended that, in this particular case, if they wanted to use it they would need to come up with some kind of insurance policy. He mentioned to me that they were not willing to come up with an insurance policy. But just with the idea that they were not willing to come up with an insurance policy kinda was a deal breaker for them."
In light of Galvez' insistence that she'd offered to get the girls insured, this made no sense. So I called Ortiz back.
"The issue around it is liability insurance," Ortiz told me. He said he knew that the girls had individual insurance, which was similar to what the hockey players have, but that there was also liability insurance for the rink, which the girls did not have.
The rink's liability insurance covers hockey but not roller derby?
Yes, Ortiz said: "We pay an enormous amount of money each year to have that insurance."
So why can't the girls just pay this "enormous amount" so they can get on the rink, too?
"I asked the exact same question to my insurance company and the insurance for the rink to find out if another policy could be had on that rink," Ortiz said. "The county does license this rink to us for use so I need to find out from the county as well what is involved with that."
But Ortiz brought up another reason. He said that all of the nights at the rink were already reserved for hockey—"most importantly, youth hockey"?4;as well as public use. That meant there was no time for any roller derby. He added that he'd suggested some other slabs of concrete to Galvez for the girls to practice on.
"There isn't one person making this decision," Ortiz told me. "It's the board of directors for the Inline Hockey Association, the liability insurance and rink availability time that this decision was based on."

Roller Derby circa 1950
Other rinks in the nation don't seem so resistant to giving women's roller derby teams practice time. According to Cort Whalig, who owns the Cristiana Skating Center in Newark, New Jersey and is the son of past president of USA Roller Sports, said derby teams that skate in his rink have insurance that covers them as well as the rink owner. He also provides a general waiver that all derby girls and hockey players sign which handles liability.
"I really saw the potential that roller derby brought to the rink," he said. "It brings crowds here that I wouldn't reach otherwise. The girls have really been an asset."
This is because, as Galvez explained, roller derby has changed a lot since the 1950's and 60's.

"People always think that derby is clotheslines, elbows, fights, throwing people over rails, and that it's staged like wrestling," Galvez said. "People think it's fake or ask us if we fight and that's not how it is at all. We follow a strict set of rules. There are over 300 leagues now in the U.S. that are going by the WFTDA [Women's Flat Track Derby Association] rules. I mean, there are renegade leagues that don't play by any rules, but we follow the WFTDA and we want to be nationally recognized.
"We do depend on our refs to call certain things but we also depend on the code of honor with the girls not to fight and not to throw elbows," she continued. "That's how we train, too—I mean, if we could. We would use plates under the arms or a sock on both of your hands to keep the arms in because the minute you throw your arm out, it's considered an elbow and then you're penalized."
Roller Derby actually dates back to the Great Depression. With dance marathons sweeping the nation, Chicago promoter Leo Seltzer decided that a skating demonstration would be the next craze. He was right—on Aug. 13, 1935, twenty thousand people filled the Chicago Coliseum to watch 25 teams skate in the Transcontinental Roller Derby. Seltzer later took his show on the road, performing for crowds of thousands.
Two years later, after watching two skaters get into a scuffle during a speed skating match, sportswriter Damon Runyon changed the sport into what we are more familiar with today. What had begun as an endurance race involving several teams changed into a sport where two teams of five circled the rink, gaining points by passing members of the opposing team.
Because certain physicality was now allowed, skaters began jostling each other with a passion. Although players exaggerated these moves to draw ever-bigger crowds, violent behavior eventually became part of roller derby's trademark.
By the 1970's, roller derby was a roughneck theatrical exhibition on wheels. Anyone who's seen the classic 1972 film
Kansas City Bomber
with Raquel Welch knows the rowdy action in the rink and melodrama was part of the game.
Then roller derby went away for a few decades. But it returned in 2001 with all-female teams driven by a new professionalism that wanted to see roller derby accepted as a serious sport.
Of course, today's roller derby still has much of the old attitude and remains an aggressive sport. Most women who play derby are tough; they proudly sport their bruises and display a certain "punk" attitude that gives them an edge. The best have nicknames sporting double entendres: Slammy Faye, Sheeza Brickhouse, Shenita Stretcher, allowing them a bit of the old school drama.
* * *
For the Maui Roller Girls, on the other hand, their time is taken up with new school drama. On Wednesday, April 23, as the women began to practice during the Kalama rink's public skating time, Ortiz and a few hockey association board members approached Galvez and asked to talk.
During a sit-down meeting on a park bench just outside the rink, Ortiz told Galvez that the association has an exclusive contract with the county: the lease says half the rink's time goes to hockey and the other half is for public use. He said adding another sport to this agreement would breach their contract. And he went back to his original story, saying their insurance wouldn't cover another sport for the rink.
He did offer one bit of helpful advice: he and the association could help the Maui Roller Girls cut their own deal with the county so that they could get their own rink built somewhere else on the island. Then there would be two skating rinks on the island that would be closed for most of the day.
For her part, Galvez isn't sure what she and Maui Roller Girls are going to do.
"We have some options that we're looking into," she said. "There is a possible warehouse we can rent but that costs money we don't have. We are just trying to stay focused and move forward. I mean, I'm not even sure if we want to work with the park with all the drama that's happened but we're definitely not giving up. That's not the kind of women we are."

Great reporting, thank you for writing and publishing this important story. It saddens me that in the year 2008 prejudices against positive, strong women, especially women in sports, still exist. Please tell me how anyone would build a separate roller rink devoted to the Maui women's roller derby, if the current rink won't even let them practice in it? That sounds like a swift dodge to pass the buck to absolutely no one. I hope the Maui Roller Girls stay strong in the face of these inexcusable, shameful shenanigans. ROLL ON!

I find it unbelievable that what I thought to be a reputable paper; The Maui Times Weekly, would publish such a one sided article and put absolutely no effort whatsoever into checking the true facts. This article is a joke and attempts to tarnish the incredible upstanding relationship Maui Inline Hockey has with the Community and The County of Maui. I find it absolutely disgusting how such an uninformed ignorant selfish group of individuals would have the nerve to do this to an organization that prides itself on providing a safe, fun, and organized place for the children of the community. This group of individuals should be ashamed of themselves.

as a huge hockey fan and supporter of the local youth league i am very excited to see a new and interesting organized sport to a place where it can be difficult to introduce something so new and different and have such an incredible spark of interest. i wish the best for these women who only wish to borrow a space, not take away time from the hockey league, but share it on their off days to bring together a new character to the island. i agree, ROLL ON!!!

When I saw the pic and read the headline I really thought this would be a lame article and junk issue, boy was I wrong on both accounts! There were a lot of good stories in this issue. This particular article is indicative of how "Chief of Recreation" Floyd Miyazono does things in the county. This man has no formal nor practical education as far as recreation goes and he has held Maui County back from forward movement with his lack of leadership in allowing things like this to go on throughout the county's recreation department. This situation should have been dealt with swiftly and fairly someone should step in and give these ladies some time on the rink and stop being rude. They are willing to pay the "expensive insurance." The county seriously needs to remember the taxpayers are in essence their bosses.

wow Maui has a rink?!!
May 03, 2008 | 02:17 AM
I must emphasize that most roller derby leagues are covered by USARS- United States Association of Rollersports, the same insurance every skater on the US Olympic team uses and it covers the skater and most importantly the practice facility and it owner(s).
I have to say how lucky Maui is to have a skating rink that is for public use - built by the taxpayers money to facilitate the local communities needs- And how very disturbing and sad that the taxpayers do not have their rightful access to this facility because one sport controls the entire rink? I say the contract the county signed was not in the interest of the taxpayers but in the interest of the Hockey assoc, I would like to see a more in depth report on the gross misuse of authority and the privatization of community property.

Hockey Dad......Shame on you! these two team sports, Hockey and Roller Derby, have had to overcome enough negative press in the last couple of decades and with out any help from old school Hockey brutes like yourself, they have become popular, fun safe sports. These women did not at all bash your sport they were just looking for some space to add a new one. Sounds to me like they were questioning the integrity of the county in this matter (deservingly so) Hockey Dad I sure hope you have passed on better temperment to your child Hockey doesn't need one more hot head!

Hockey League Give Derby Girls Rink Time
May 03, 2008 | 01:54 PM
As a mother of 2 boys who participate in soccer and other community sports leagues, I find it unconscionable that the Hockey League refuses to help this new roller derby team. It confounds me. Where is your aloha? Where is your sportsmanship? That rink is unused during the day? Why not give time to the derby league on weekdays when they wouldn't use electricity?

What these women really want is...

A free place to skate that is already set up and waiting for them on a platter. The rink and adjoining clubhouse were donated and built by community volunteers, and what you see now is the culmination of ten years in the making. Shame on you roller girls for ranting "gimmie, gimmie, gimmie." and then when you don't get your name you claim gender discrimination. A bunch of lazy sourpusses, that's what you are.

Negative spin
May 03, 2008 | 06:43 PM
I read your article about the Maui Roller Girls and was surprised that you side with a "Newbie" just off the boat that is bringing their mainland ideals and attitudes to our island. This self proffessed SKANK trys to barge in on the rink for her personal mission to have roller derby on Maui, which I don't have a problem with but do have a problem with her tactics. She uses the radio for her attacks on the great people who devote an enormous amount of their time and energy to see to it that our children have a fun safe environment to pursue a great team sport and also open skating for the public. If the Skank had taken the time to do a little research she would find out what has gone into starting, building and maintaining the rink which is on County property and leased to the Maui Inline Hockey.
The insurance mentioned is for the Hockey players and there is a seperate policy to cover recreational skaters who come to use the rink on open skate nights. If the roller girls want fair use of a private facility maybe they should go through the painstaking steps taken to make the Maui Inline Rink a reality, instead of trying to storm in the back door using forums such as yours to accomplish what they need. They're just hurting their chances to accomplish anything with the County or any other facilitiy by bashing the people who volunteer their time and efforts for the community.
What has the Skank done in the community to be able to attack the people who donate their time to make Maui a better place for all of us? Maybe if she spent a little more time doing something constructive for the community instead of promoting her party girl attitude and rubbing people the wrong way she might just accomplish what she sets out to do.
Another hockey Dad
Spinning out
May 03, 2008 | 08:21 PM
Wow, Another hockey Dad! Was it really necessary for you to degrade someone in order to get your point across? What kind of father talks about a woman like that? I hope your mom didn't teach you to talk like that or did she hurt you so much you feel the need to degrade women that threaten you and your viewpoints. I also hope the children in the Hockey Association don't follow your lead and learn to speak about others in the way that you do. I certainly wouldn't want my kids learning from you or an association where people communicate in such an ugly way. It seems that only one spinning negatively is you, and quite honestly, you're response only clarifies the ambiguous nature of why the girls can't get practice time. Way to clear the puck, Chief.

A New View
May 03, 2008 | 08:53 PM
WOW. 1st off I want to say that I'm a supporter of the Maui Roller Girls but what are you guys doing. Unlike our team captain I've been living in Kihei since before the rink was built. So I saw what they went through to be able to bring roller hockey and public skating to Maui. We need to find and build our own facility with donations and local business support just like they did. I know it will be hard. Like you said at the end of the article Kelly we don't have any money for rent so paying for insurance for accidents like the broken elbow that Sara got a couple weeks ago or the dislocated shoulder from another girl last week will be a challenge but we can't expect a bunch of volunteers to break their 10 year old lease with the county and sublet time to us. Since they're non-profit we can't pay them anyways. I love the edgy punk attitude of our girls. That's why the bars and bands love us but to say we're "family friendly" is pushing it especially with our fans getting caught drinking beer and smoking in the stands next to the kids at open skate. I know that sounds direct but come on if we really want to have good practices and compete with Oahu we need to stop wasting our time trying to sit at someone elses dinner table.

Check your facts, on her my space she calls herself Skanky; so if someone is idiotic enough to refer to themselves that way then why wouldn't this guy. Unlike the roller girl supporters, individuals defending the hockey league check the facts before blurting stuff out.

A voice of reason
May 03, 2008 | 10:36 PM
Thank you "Maui Roller Girl Supporter" for being a voice of reason from that side. I agree with everything you said in your comment. After viewing a couple of My Space sites, I found that the girl who broke her elbow doesn't have medical insurance and was asking the other roller girls for help with her bill. Ladies, if you can't even rally to help this poor girl with her medical bill, than how can you possibly get it together to build a rink? All these pot shots that some of the roller girls are making are just hot air and damaging whatever chance you have to really establish yourselves on Maui. You other roller girls that love the sport and have your heads on straight like "maui roller girl supporter" does, should break away from the negative entities in your group. You will never amount to anything with those people around. I wish you luck, I really do, but it's going to take HARD WORK, INTELLIGENCE and DEDICATION on your part to make your dreams come true.

Good decision by the County
May 03, 2008 | 10:41 PM
The rink was build by the hockey league for hockey. The rink doesn't cost the taxpayers anything. The hockey league pays for all the maintenance and up keep and they host & give us free access to the rink on public skate nights. No one at the rink get paid. It's just a bunch of caring citizens trying to help out. Now you readers want them to pick up the tab for roller derby too? Don't they already do enough? The county is making the right decision.
County supporter
May 03, 2008 | 11:12 PM
The roller girls don't appear to me to be the family friendly group of women that are described in this article. They represent the crowd that you would typically find in a bar late at night. They bring with them the negative force that KPAT, the Parks Dept, and MPD have been tryng to manage in our park for years now. The rink was built for children by community businesses, volunteers, the county and private funds raised by the non-profit hockey league. Don't let this group of users push their way into our park and take away from our children what the community has worked so hard for. The hockey league cares about our children and gives much back to the community. What are the roller girls offering us in return? A chance to watch them? No thanks! I can do that almost any night at the bar. Go back to the bar, stop bad mouthing the good people in our community and leave our park alone.
Not fooled easily
Maui has a hockey rink?
May 04, 2008 | 02:46 AM
That great! How do we join the hockey league? Does anyone know what days the kids play?
Re: Hockey on Maui
May 04, 2008 | 05:41 AM
The kids are there practicing almost every night for the state/regional championship games, which are at kalama Skate Rink June 6th-8th.
Hockey fun
Hey Jojo
May 04, 2008 | 12:21 PM
You've been dupe buddy! They had you saying stuff thats not true. Should have done a little research on your own before listening to the roller girls and getting tricked into promoting them on the radio. You must be so embarrassed.
Still laughing
Jojo the moron
May 04, 2008 | 12:47 PM
Hey I listen to 92.5 too; it's the only station that plays half decent music on this rock, but now Jojo is looking like an even bigger idiot than he already is.
He should just shut up and play more tunes, doesn't he know none of us can stand the sound of his voice anymore.
just play some music already
Skating Rink, Kihei Maui

I think Roller Derby would be great entertainment and a good way to keep some of the young girls busy. It's too bad that the person, so motivated, to bring a great new sport to Maui has such a lack of integrety and class. She should be focus on ways to make it happen, not blame and complain. You won't accomplish anything on Maui by being nasty and attacking people who volunteer for our community.
Open skate at the Rink is great family fun. We used to go every Wednesday, the guy who voluteers to run open skate is great, thank you for always being there. It has taught my kids to skate and given us a great way to have fun as a family with exersize at the same time.It has also gotten both my kids into a great sport, hockey. My oldest son (12) was comletely finished with any kind of orginized sport until he learned to skate.
Now he plays hockey, and has talked many of his friend into joining. My youngest son still plays most sports but has always had a problem paying attention durring games, I think they are to slow for him. Now he to plays hockey and his eyes are on the puck constantly. This is a wonderful sport for boys and girls of all ages, yes there are many girls playing hockey. Moms, for the kids this is a no- contact sport and a great way to get kids back into sports or add it to the ones they play, they don't have to be a great skater, that will come. It would be fun to see a womens Hockey league. If interested in Open Skate it's Friday and Saturday 6-9pm, Free if you have your own skates and only $5.00 to rent. I think it's Sunday too but not sure of the time.
Family fun

This Dad was calling her by her Myspace name you should check it out, myspace.com/skankygalvez.
Again, check the facts before you judge
Just for the record
May 04, 2008 | 07:04 PM
The Maui skating rink is not just for Hockey. People keep talking about the hockey league like they only keep it for themselves, not true. The rink is run by a Board of volunteers from the community for the community. It is open for community use, Not just one guy, like the press and "kelly would like everyone to believe. Yes the county is in support of them because they do a service for the communty. A good jod at that.
Rink and County supporter
Friendly Family Sport?? I think not!!!
May 04, 2008 | 07:34 PM
A few weeks ago the "Roller Girls" showed up to "practice" during the public open skate night. (They have advertised their practice nights but had never received permission from anyone to do this during the public open skate time). Anyways, one of the girls got hurt and was bleeding. She had blood on her face! The volunteer girl running the concession stand went over to help her with a first aid kit and the girl refused. She said she wanted to have pictures taken first! What??? There are children skating in this rink. They should not be exposed to this type of group! That's disgusting. As far as the type of crowd they attract.....One of their own confirmed the type of crowd that supports them. Their supporters have sat in the stands drinking, smoking and yelling out profanities to the girls! Soccer mom, so you think this is an appropiate enviornment for kids? Unbelievable. You should be ashamed of yourself for expressing your support being a mother of two children. This is the type of ALOHA you would like your kids to be exposed to? Hockey dad is right!!! She calls herself a Skank. She is proud to be called that, it's her preference. Yeah, that's family friendly! Shame on the Maui Weekly and the moron JoJo at 92.5. Where is your ALOHA for your community and what do you give back? You give back by supporting these girls? Shame, shame, shame on all of you involved in bashing MIHA and the county. Work hard and get your own place like we did or go back to your hometown of HELL, Kelly!!!!!!! (that's on her myspace too)

May 04, 2008 | 09:57 PM
Seriously, you people are ferocious and scary. This has nothing to do with the children, the girls just want some practice time and it's unclear why they can't get it. Why all the name calling?
May 05, 2008 | 02:12 AM
ummm. Hello spectator did you actually read the posts below. The hockey people can't give them practice time even if they started showing some ounce of deserving it. I know it seems unclear in the paper but that's because of who's side of the story is being told. Read the "maui roller girl supporter" blog below if you want a non-biased opinion. As far as name calling did you look at kelly's myspace page? It's HER name!
captain obvious
Re: Hockey Moms and Dads
May 05, 2008 | 02:33 AM
There is no name calling going on. Go back and read.
The only ferocious name I see used is skank, this is what one girl calls herself. Please look at FOR SHOCK AND AWE.
This is what she calls herself on a her myspace web page,
myspace.skankygalvez. I just looked it up it's real.
Where it all began 92.5
May 05, 2008 | 03:16 AM
If you want to accuse any one of name calling listen to JO JO and Kelly on 92.5 between 3:00pm and 3:15, that's ferocious, scary and brutally mean. Also the reason so many people are upset with the Roller Derby Girls. I have heard them say things I didn't even know were allowed on the radio. I have nothing against the Roller Derby Girls, just the one who started all the drama through lies and name calling in the public media.
Disgusted with the mud slinging
To the parents scared of girl's getting banged up...
May 05, 2008 | 07:57 PM
I'm writing in response to all those who are writing with such animosity towards a bunch of gals trying to add a little fun to their own lives as well as bringing some entertainment to the islands.
I was Kelly's coach back here in California when she played with the Sac City Rollers. Kelly is a strong, DECENT individual that works hard at what she does both in Derby and in radio, and writing personal opinion and illegitimate claims about her personal being are signs of ignorance and the inability to accept people for more than face value.
The mention of a Made-up and only for shock purposes name for derby does not represent the individual. The fact that she dons attire less likely to be worn on the hockey rink and more in the gymnasium is not cause to assume she is what her title claims on a social site like Myspace. No one is real on Myspace. Maybe you should check to see what your teenager's names are on Myspace and then check back.
Bringing blame on Kelly and the roller girls and not the writer who unfortunately seemed to have badgered local development and community leaders into siding with the derby is sad. Don't be shallow and cold to someone you don't know.
Derby is a sport paid and supported by both it's players and fans and not by parents and retirees. Played with dedication and determination just like hockey, skateboarding, soccer, or surfing. Each person does what they can to develop their sport to it's fullest. Hockey's been around a lot longer than roller derby, as has surfing and soccer. Skating and snowboarding had a rough road as will today's new and improved Roller Derby and at the rate that skateboarding has taken off since I was a little fella boarding around in parking lots, tennis courts, school yards and water levees, I'm sure that you ALL will be changing your minds as the years pass about roller derby and it's status in the community and the world.
Killah (not skank) Kellys friend.
May 05, 2008 | 11:18 PM
Killa, That was heart whelming but you seem to have spent the same amount of time reading the blogs as your friend did researching the dynamics of the rink. She may be a "decent individual" but she hasn't shown this in her quest to get practice time at the rink or in her local promotion of your sport. She is the leader and head organizer of mrg so she's responsible for not only her own actions but those of her team as well. Daily she was on the radio bashing Maui inline and promoted jojo to outright attack and slander their leaders (I heard it). She is responsible for the article and a majority of the quotes are from her. She is also responsible for the flyer and MySpace promotion of practice during open skate times where she promotes drinking and partying (at the bar I'm there with ya) but the fans illegally bringing the alcohol into the rink during "family time" is a result of her actions. As far as her gender, clothes, etc. WHO CARES the hockey people don't appear to. Sure they point out what she and the girls advertise but she and the girls are the ones advertising it. At least they're not just making stuff up like JOJO (her actions spawned that as well). Oh by the way you may not want to play the card anyways. Last I checked hockey and open skate were open to any one at any age. According to the official MRG webpage you have to be female and over 21 yrs. old. Hmmmm Aloha, Your friend Captain Obvious

Enough Already
May 06, 2008 | 02:19 AM
What about the show where JoJo and his guest host guy said that they supported the hockey thing and all the kids that were apart of it? I was watching some talk show host guy and he had a presidential candidate on his show that there was an open invitation to all candidates to come on the show and express their views. I have only heard one person call up hockey mom JoJos show. For all the name calling and assumptions no one seems to be real enough to express it, save for an anonymous posting. As I see it this is a community event. There are bad apples in any group, not just roller derby. It seems to me that whoever Kelly was talking to from the board of volunteers, managed to give her the run around, and thats what she ran with. Id do the same. Bottom line, give it its fair shot and dont form your opinions on a bunch of hearsay from angry uninformed people (for or against).
Get a life
We are in the same situation
May 06, 2008 | 05:14 AM
I am a skater for the Pacific Roller Derby league and tried to get rink time at Oahu's Mililani hockey rink. The guy flat out told me if we want a rink to go petition for one like they did. Didnt tax payers money go to that rink???? That just didnt make sense to me because I am a tax payer and so are all the women on our league. I wrote to the Governor, Mayor, and all 9 state representatives and not one of them wrote me back. We practice at Kaneohe Marine Corps base hockey rink, and sad to say but we have way more support from the military base then we do from our own island. Sundays our practice time got taken over by a hockey league, so we had to push our practice time up to 12-2 in the afternoon. We are praciticing at the most hottest time of the day because we have to take what we can get. Our spirits are high, but our options are very limited. We are totally here to support you guys and we stand by you all 100%. Maybe if Big Island and Kauai get a league, people will start to realize, that this sport is coming back and do something about it.
Just another supporter
Solutions anyone?
May 07, 2008 | 07:14 AM
Seems simple enough... if the hockey parents don't want roller girls at the public skating they should give them private practice time in the rink instead of this ' you have to earn it' attitude. How would the world be if everyone had to pave their own road instead of helping each other out? What's really the moral issue here, unlady-like behavior or discrimination?
No big deal
Go Rollergirls!!!!!!!!!!
May 17, 2008 | 11:04 PM
i'm at the rink every wednesday with my child, she loves the rollergirls. People are saying that they have witnessed the rollergirls drinking at the rink, well I have to dispute that. I have seen them every wk and they had nothing but water, beleive me i would watch them in aww every wednesday. Remember people will lie and try to get you down, It's too bad the hockey parents are like that. Keep the good spirits!!
May 18, 2008 | 12:31 PM
A young lady was injured badly in the midwest. This is dangerous and there is only adequate training in select venues. Even then, it is foolish to skate without having health insurance.
Flat track skating is inherently dangerous. There is no give in the track, and the skaters are not protected like hockey players. Roller Derby on a banked track is safer, with a track that can absorb shock and cushion a well trained fall.
Why do the flat trackers, who skate a legit game, use burlesque names and outfits? Those two things seem entirely inconsistent with long term growth. Not a criticism, just an observation. I would no sooner take my son to see a major league baseball game if the star shortstop was named Ray Persilly

May 18, 2008 | 01:33 PM
Clearly, you do not know what you are talking about. Point one, the deductible from USARS for banked, compared to flat. Significantly higher and you know why? Because they can get seriously injured just like the rest of us, but tell me how a fall from 5 feet to a concrete surface is not as bad as flying into a couple of fans on a flat track? I strongly support both, and the girl in the "midwest"- Tequila Mockingbird- that was a freak accident- one time out of over 6 or 7 THOUSAND skaters, where as back in the day there were only a couple hundred, playing a scripted sport.
And maybe I use a skater name because I want to remain anonymous somewhat in the public eye, plus this is a release, a hobby- and this is another side of me, my given name is not a reflection of who I am on the track.
An anonymous skater
June 09, 2008 | 06:57 PM
This is such an unfortunate situation. As someone who lived in Maui as a child, and continues to visit, it saddens me that there is little community support for these ladies. I play roller derby for the Santa Cruz Rollergirls and feel so blessed that we have a rink and a venue to skate in. I have heard of other leagues having to drive hours to find a practice space, let alone a venue to bout at. I think that Ortiz seems a bit insecure that these strong athletic ladies are possibly going to be more popular than inline hockey!!! Don't give up ladies, rally community support and make things happen!

I don't have much to say, other than i hope Killa Kelly AKA "Skank"and the girls get a place to practice. I used to watch Kelly practice with the Sac City Roller Girls and they were amazing. Kelly is so devoted and passionate about roller dirby i'm sure with a little more support from her new hometown, she can take her team real far. And as for those of you bad talking my girl Kelly, get to know her first before you go around talking like idiots. Especially you, "another hockey dad." Kelly " I love you and miss you!" keep pushing on i know you can make it happen!

Serves 4
Sausage and grapes are a classic Italian pairing. The addition of balsamic vinegar and caramelized onions turns this into a quick, warming braise. Piercing the sausages with the tines of a fork will allow them to release some of their juices and infuse the broth.
Heat 1 Tbs. of the oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium heat until it's shimmering. Add the sausages and cook, turning every couple minutes, until they're browned all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
Add the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and the onion to the pot, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens completely and starts to turn light brown, about 7 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and chicken broth, and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to incorporate any browned bits.
Reduce to a gentle simmer (medium-low or low depending on your stovetop). Add the sausages and grapes, cover the pot with the lid ajar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are cooked through (slice into one to check), about 25 minutes. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the oregano.
Serve with a crusty baguette and a green salad.
by muzungu_jt, 2/18/2012Fantastic and easy. Flavors were right on and the sauce was great for sopping up with bread. I made it with a British style sausage and it was still terrific.
by dixiebelle301, 11/29/2010This was horrible. The smell of the vinegar cooking is still in my house. No, never again. We couldn't even eat the the onions. This was definitely a "never again" recipe in our household. Actually, it is the first "never again" we've had.
by AndyK41, 11/9/2010Very tasty, and quick and easy to prepare.
by IL, 10/26/2010Rated five for ease of preparation (but makes a big mess of the stove) and four for flavour. I agree with the previous comments ref amount of oil as the sausages render a couple of spoons of fat. Enjoyed by all!
by atriola702, 9/29/2010
by krispyecca, 1/10/2010This is one of our weeknight favorites. I can only seem to find Italian sausages sold in packs of 5, so I make it with five sausages and keep everything else the same. I don't think it needs as much oil as called for, though. The sausages give off enough of their own fat that I don't add any more oil to the pan after sauteing them.

Hey I was recently on the main room chat and got a question about calorie needs (which I wasn't able to answer very well, and reverted to posting a video of doug's).
1.) Is the 2500 calories for women and the 3000 for men suppose to maintain weight?
2.) I've always used the subtract 500 calories a day for two pounds of weight loss a week style idea, is this incorrect? Does 811 promote a different way of calorie shortage to lose weight or something?
3.) *Most important* - How does more calories not result in more weight gain? I've heard many people saying I eat 3500, 4000, 4000+ calories a day (is this to gain weight or is there something else going on here).
Thank you for your time and help.
Well, as for the third question, the reason that so many people eat so many calories (myself included) is often because of a higher metabolism and/or a higher activity level. Sure, some people may be trying to gain weight with that many calories, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of people are maintaining. I eat 3500-4000 calories a day, and I'm 16 years old, 103lbs, and 5'4''. I have a fast metabolism (even before my eating disorder), and I'm fairly active--so I need that much. Of course, at this weight, gaining wouldn't be a bad thing, to a certain extent, so I'm not exactly worried about that.
Well yea that makes sense and all, I have a faster metabolism as well but still wanted to know what an 811 advocate would recommend for calories to lose weight.
Well, my point was (indirectly) that it really depends upon the person. There is no set amount that's good for everyone. Have you been maintaining at a certain amount? I'm sure any amount of calories that you cut out is fine--as long as it isn't too much and you still get proper nutrients and don't lose too quickly or anything, and enough to see measurable results. Maybe exercise more?
Eat the required calories over the course of 1-2 months and take an average of weight. I am not talking about freaking out because two cups of water translates into one pound on the scale. I mean something like weighing on the same day every month and seeing what the results are.
If someone is underweight, they should increase calories and or exercise to build muscle mass.
If someone is obese, and they are losing, that is good. If there is no weight loss after a month or two, and there is truly a need for weight loss, and not based on an ED, then try increasing exercise. Going below 2500 calories a day sets one up for deficiency and malnutrition long term.
Peace, PK
I've always monitored calories to an extent and have done a bunch of research on it, thats why I was goin for something to debunk what I've always read, or just prove it again.
I've always used the bmr calculations and such to find out calorie expenditure and stuff, I wanted to know if anyone else has a "method" they use for weight loss.
This is getting confusing sounding haha, basically does 811 calories (fruit) not result in fat storage?
A lot of those diet plans and fancy caloric calculations are bunk. While on paper they look good, they do not account for the type of food eaten, how it was prepped and how cooking changes things, the health and condition of the individual, etc.
As many of us who have come from other diets know, the first week is usually a honeymoon of weight loss followed by a plateau. If we are really unlucky, metabolism will slow down to accommodate the restriction leading us to get fatter when we do go for a binge.
Just a vicious cycle.
I would recommend that someone give this a 30 day trial and see what the results are. Lock the scales up and only weigh in once a month or less.
This diet is a lifestyle and a way of life and about natural health maintenance.
Peace, PK
You asked:
1.) Is the 2500 calories for women and the 3000 for men suppose to maintain weight?
These are bare minimum requirements to avoid deficiencies and malnutrition. Most of our members who go below that lose energy, get depressed, are tempted to binge, and start manifesting symptoms of illness. No worries though, most people can keep a stable weight at this number, and if weight loss is desired, increase exercise a little bit. Many of our members find they need to eat more calories than this. Learn more here:
Having said that, some people do see an increase on the scale while reducing inches. Reasons include volume of food and water consumed, proper hydration, nutrient dense diet promoting increased bone density and muscle mass, overall healthier and denser body tissues, and fiber in the intestines.
2.) I've always used the subtract 500 calories a day for two pounds of weight loss a week style idea, is this incorrect? Does 811 promote a different way of calorie shortage to lose weight or something?
We never restrict calories or reduce calories to lose weight. For the most part, the body balances out. ED and underweight people might gain, and obese people will lose.
On this diet, like everything else about it, most conventional wisdom does not work.
On other diets whether animal products, high fat, or low fat high starchy foods, there is greater risk of weight gain and a need to count calories. However, on these diets, many people suffer deficiencies, malnutrition, and or side effects like arthritis from the toxic effects of the food consumed.
Read more about why here:
Starchy Foods vs Fruit n Lettuce
3.) *Most important* - How does more calories not result in more weight gain? I've heard many people saying I eat 3500, 4000, 4000+ calories a day (is this to gain weight or is there something else going on here).
The minimum is 2500/3000 a day. But many of our members are also athletes and do a lot of fitness training. They need to eat more calories, and that is why some of them can eat 3-5k of calories a day and sometimes still lose weight.
I eat 2500-3500 calories a day, I am moderately active, have a job, errands, home life, and I maintain a steady weight on the scale.
Peace, PK
I eat 2500-3500 calories a day, I am moderately active, have a job, errands, home life...
Not to mention dauntless and tireless energy helping others on 30BaD :D
RAW Shucks Jon ^!^ Thank you for your words of kindness. Peace, PK
Wow this removed any last doubt I had about 30BaD and 80/10/10. Even though religiously in my faith, I'm not supposed to eat this much..I've come to the conclusion that this time and age does not allow for those guidelines because of how everything is less nutrient dense, and the increase of chronic disease changes how we once thought of food when it was in its natural state. Thank you PK!

As Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro tells it, he lives in a very dangerous world. Since winning a narrow and contested election in April, his administration has unveiled almost a dozen plans to murder him.
The latest accusation came Wednesday after Maduro canceled his visit to the United Nations General Assembly and a speech in the Bronx at the last minute. He then accused Roger Noriega, a former U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States and beltway insider, and fellow ex-diplomat Otto Reich of a "crazy plan" to incite violence in Manhattan or, perhaps, even kill him.
Speaking from Washington, D.C. on Thursday, Noriega says he's lost track of how many times Maduro has falsely accused him of plotting his demise.
"It's not stressful," he said of the recurring allegations. "I think Maduro is under more pressure than I am, and his comments reflect that...He needs a boogeyman."
Some plots are modest, such as the assassins Maduro said crossed the Colombian border at the behest of former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. Others seem straight out of Hollywood — former Vice President José Vicente Rangel once said the opposition had purchased 18 jet-fighters that were going to operate from a U.S. military base in Colombia. The plots are such a hot topic in Venezuela that Ultimas Noticias newspaper has put out an interactive graphic to track them.
Even more prevalent than assassination plans are acts of economic "sabotage" that have been blamed for everything from blackouts to chronic shortages of chicken to toilet paper. Since mid-April, Maduro's press office has sent out at least 144 communiqués that mention "sabotage." When the government activated the sabotage hotline, 0800-SABOTAJE, earlier this month it said it got more than 1,000 calls in the first week.
After Wednesday's aborted U.N. trip, Maduro unveiled a fresh case of potential wrongdoing. His presidential aircraft, which he said had recently undergone a five-month overhaul in France by its manufacturer Airbus, had "inexplicable" and "serious" damage to one wing. Maduro said he was assembling a legal team to press the case.
Airbus did not respond to a request for information, but told the Spanish news agency EFE that it did not perform the overhaul — that work is subcontracted out — but it would help Venezuela investigate.
Maduro seized on the Airbus comments as legitimizing his claim.
"The crazy right-wing has a strange and suspicious attitude," he wrote Thursday on Twitter, referring to the airplane malfunction. "I think another one of their macabre plans fell through.."
The plane troubles were the reason he travelled to China last week on a Cubana de Aviación airliner that was also slated to take him to the United Nations General Assembly, he said.
That switch might have been at the heart of some of his recent travel woes. When Maduro was initially denied the right to travel through U.S. airspace over Puerto Rico last week on his way to China, the U.S. State Department said the delay was due in part because "the plane in question was not a state aircraft, which is required for diplomatic clearance."
Maduro said he was on a layover in Canada when he received news of the threats and aborted the U.N. trip. But there was also speculation that if the plane had made it to New York it might have been seized by U.S. courts that have won rulings against the Cuban government.

An increasing number of lawsuits have been filed across Japan against department stores that allowed unusual purchases to be made by elderly people with dementia.
In April, the Tokyo District Court ordered a Tokyo department store to refund to a woman about 2.4 million yen (about $25,300) for clothes she bought over one year, during a 4 1/2-year period in which she bought a total of about 11 million yen in such products.
The ruling recognized that some of the sales agreements between the 78-year-old woman and the store were made after she developed dementia.
The woman, who lives alone in Tokyo, filed the lawsuit against Tokyu department store's Toyoko store at JR Shibuya Station in Tokyo. She bought 280 clothing items at a boutique in the store since 2006.
Her 70-year-old brother, who lives separately from her, said he realized something was wrong when he saw her wearing an odd combination of a jacket and skirt at their relative's funeral in June 2010. He then visited her home and found a room full of unopened shirts and jackets. "I was totally taken back to see that," he said.
In August that year, a hospital diagnosed the woman as "suffering from Alzheimers-related dementia," according to the hospital. "It's believed she started showing symptoms about five years ago."
Although the brother explained her condition to the department store, and asked them to stop selling her products, they ignored his request. He became her guardian in May 2011 and filed a lawsuit against the store in February 2012, seeking about 11 million yen.
According to evidence submitted to the court, the woman visited the store almost every week, buying such items as jackets and shirts. Some months she spent more than 500,000 yen, and she bought the same products several times.
She also bought health food worth 20,000 yen from a salesclerk, even though the product was unrelated to the boutique, according to evidence.
On April 26 this year, Judge Norio Kojima included in the ruling part of the demanded refund for all the products she bought. "The claim that she developed her dementia five years ago was a doctor's opinion, which is not definitive," he said.
However, he added, "Since August 2009 when she bought three of the same product, it was clear that she was suffering from dementia and unable to form rational judgments."
Kojima ordered the department store to refund about 2.4 million yen for clothes the woman bought over one year since August 2009. The sentence has since been finalized.
The younger brother said: "As my sister obviously purchased the clothes in an abnormal way, I'm sure shop clerks noticed that she had dementia."
Tokyu department store opposed the ruling, saying: "It's not unusual that customers of a boutique repeatedly buy expensive products. The refund we were ordered to give was for the period when we didn't know she had dementia," a store official said.
"We can't tell our customers, 'We're unable to sell you products because you have dementia.' However, we'll carefully handle such matters when we're asked not to sell products," the official added.
There have been similar cases across the country in which customers with dementia have made unusual purchases.
In 2005, an elderly woman with dementia bought kimonos and other clothing valued at about 6.4 million yen from a Osaka department store. She filed a lawsuit with the Osaka District Court, seeking a full refund.
In 2012, an elderly woman with dementia who bought about 18 million yen in clothing and other items filed a lawsuit against a department store in Hamamatsu. In both cases, the parties involved reached a settlement.
The National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan said it had received inquiries in three other similar cases since 2011.
According to the Japan Department Stores Association, the industry has no standard guidelines on how to deal with customers that suffer from dementia. The association said while it realizes there is a problem, its hands are tied.
"If we decided not to sell products to people suffering from a certain disease, it would become a human rights issue. Our only choice is to sell products to customers who want to buy them," an association official said.
Yasuhiro Akanuma, a lawyer who is familiar with issues facing elderly people, said salesclerks should give consideration to people who make unusual purchases.
"People with dementia tend to frequently visit shops where they are treated nicely by clerks and end up purchasing unnecessary things. Salesclerks must realize eventually if a customer suffers dementia. However, I presume they give priority to sales, so they continue to sell them products," he said.
"If a person with dementia has an adult guardian, a sales contract can be canceled later even for expensive clothes. I want families involved to consider using the adult guardian system," he added.
