Vincent Albert "Buddy" Cianci, Jr. (/siˈænsi/, see-AN-see; Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃaŋtʃi], CHAHN-chee; born April 30, 1941) is an American politician who served as the mayor of Providence, Rhode Island from 1975 to 1984 and again from 1991 to 2002. Cianci is the longest-serving mayor of Providence, and one of the longest-serving "big city" mayors in United States history, having held office for over 21 years.
Notably, he was forced to resign from office twice due to felony convictions. His first administration ended in 1984 when he pleaded guilty to assault. His second stint as mayor ended when he was forced to resign following his conviction for racketeering conspiracy (running a corrupt criminal enterprise), and he served four years in federal prison.[1]
Cianci was first elected mayor as the candidate of the Republican Party. While in office he declared himself an independent, and as of 2009 he said he had no party affiliation.[1] In June 2014, Cianci announced, on his radio show, that he would run for mayor again.
Personal life[edit]
Cianci was born in Cranston, Rhode Island and grew up in the Laurel Hill section of that city, just over the Providence line. His grandparents Pietro, a carpenter, and Carmella Cianci, came to the United States from Roccamonfina, Italy, in the early 20th century. They had 13 children. Cianci's father Vincent was born in 1900 and was a doctor. In 1937 he married a woman named Esther Capobianco. Buddy has an older sister named Carol. He would go on to marry a woman named Sheila in 1973, whom he divorced in 1983. They had one daughter named Nicole and three grandchildren: Olivia, Joseph and Julius. His daughter died at the age of 38 on April 20, 2012.
Education and military service[edit]
Educated at Moses Brown School, Cianci earned a bachelor's degree in government at Fairfield University, a master's degree in Political Science at Villanova University, and a law degree at Marquette University Law School.[2]
He enlisted in the U.S. Army on November 29, 1966 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Military Police Corps on April 24, 1967. He served on active duty until 1969 and then in the Army Reserve as a civil affairs officer through 1972.[3]
Early legal career[edit]
Admitted to the Rhode Island bar in 1967, Cianci was appointed a special assistant attorney general in 1969 and, in 1973, became the prosecutor of the Rhode Island Attorney General Department's Anti-Corruption Strike Force, a position he held until his first election as Mayor in 1974.
Early political career[edit]
In the fall of 1974, Cianci narrowly beat then-Mayor Joseph Doorley on an anti-corruption campaign. Also helping Cianci win was a revolt by some Democrats who were upset with Doorley's administration. He was the city's first Italian-American mayor, ending a 150-year "power monopoly" held by Irish Democrats. Cianci was also the youngest man elected to the office at age 33, and the first Republican Mayor since the Great Depression. Cianci was well known as an extremely charismatic and media-savvy politician. His propensity to attend parades, weddings, public events, and backyard neighborhood barbecues led to a common joke during his tenure that Cianci would jump to attend the opening of an envelope. Cianci was revered by many residents of Providence, and credited with the revitalizing of the city's economy and image.
During his first tenure in office, Cianci and his allies on the Providence City Council clashed with the anti-Cianci majority on almost every issue, the budget being the most heated one. In the mid to late 1970s, Cianci found himself as a rising star in the national Republican Party. After being introduced by Bob Dole, Cianci made an address at the 1976 Republican convention. There was talk of him being the first Italian-American vice president. Cianci was also seriously considered for a federal Cabinet seat in the prospective Gerald Ford administration, had Ford been elected in 1976. After Ford's loss to Jimmy Carter, Cianci tried to promote himself as a Senate candidate, pointing out that if the Republican Party was going to survive in the Northeast, it would have to get more ethnic voters. Cianci clashed behind the scenes with John Chafee, trying to talk him out of his Senate run so Cianci could get the Republican nomination instead. Chafee was elected to the Senate in 1976 and Cianci was re-elected as Mayor of Providence as a Republican in 1978.
Cianci ran for governor in 1980, losing out to incumbent J. Joseph Garrahy. After this loss, Cianci drifted away from the Republican Party. In 1982 he was re-elected as an Independent.
First resignation[edit]
Cianci was forced by law to resign from office for the first time in 1984 after pleading no contest to assaulting a Bristol, Rhode Island contractor with a lit cigarette, an ashtray and a fireplace log. Cianci claimed that the man had been romantically involved with his wife, from whom Cianci was separated at the time. Both the man and Cianci's estranged wife said that no relationship existed. Providence municipal regulations prohibit a convicted felon from holding public office; ironically, Cianci himself promulgated the rule a few years earlier, with an eye to removing political opponents from the City Council.
After Cianci's resignation, there was a special election. Cianci attempted to run in the election under the rubic that he had been convicted of a felony but received a five year suspended sentence rather than being sent to prison. After a few weeks it was decided by the Rhode Island Supreme Court that Cianci could not run in the special election because the legislative intent was that the convicted incumbent could not succeed himself in office. The special election was won by City Council Chairman and Acting Mayor Joseph R. Paolino, Jr.
Cianci spent the next few years as a radio talk show host on Providence AM station 920 WHJJ and as a television commentator. In 1990 he successfully mounted a re-election campaign with the slogan, "He never stopped caring about Providence."
It was during Cianci's second run as mayor, beginning in 1991, that the city of Providence entered its "Renaissance phase."[citation needed] The city became cleaner and more tourist-friendly. Cianci brought the Providence Bruins hockey team to Rhode Island from Maine, and pushed to further several projects in the city, including a new train station near the State House, new hotels, the Providence Place Mall, and the Fleet Skating Center.[4] He also helped to orchestrate the establishment of Waterfire in downtown Providence, which brings up to 100,000 people to the downtown area alone on the summer nights it takes place.
In 1998 Cianci ran again for re-election, unopposed on the ballot. He has never lost a mayoral election.
Operation Plunder Dome[edit]
Cianci was indicted in April 2001 on federal criminal charges of racketeering, conspiracy, extortion, witness tampering, and mail fraud. Several other Providence city officials were also indicted. Judge Ronald R. Lagueux said of the case: "Clearly, there is a feeling in city government in Providence that corruption is tolerated. In this mayor's two administrations, there has been more corruption in the City of Providence than in the history of this state."[5]
Much of the trial was focused around a video tape showing top Cianci aide Frank A. Corrente (the City's Director of Administration) taking a bribe. Jim Taricani, a reporter who aired the tape on local television station WJAR, was sentenced to six months of house arrest for refusing to reveal his sources to the court. Rather than maintaining a low profile after the indictment, Cianci poked fun at the investigation, code-named "Operation Plunder Dome". Nine people (including Cianci) were convicted in the trials, which were presided over by Judge Ernest C. Torres. Cianci was acquitted of 26 of 27 charges, including bribery, extortion, and mail fraud. He was, however, found guilty of a single charge of racketeering conspiracy (running a corrupt criminal enterprise).
He had been planning on running for a seventh term in 2002, and at the time of his conviction was again unopposed.
In September 2002, Cianci was sentenced to serve five years in federal prison by Judge Torres, who opted for a higher sentence than the minimum required by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Cianci was forced by law to resign immediately following the sentencing. Between his sentencing and the start of his jail term, Cianci resumed his radio career hosting a midday show with former Providence radio host (and former director of communications to Governor Don Carcieri) Steve Kass on AM talk station WPRO. After some legal wrangling, Cianci's lawyers managed to have him sent to prison closer to Rhode Island, and Cianci served his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix, in Burlington County, New Jersey. Cianci appealed the conviction to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit[6] but was unsuccessful. In August 2005, Cianci made a request for early release, but was denied.
After prison[edit]
Cianci was released from prison on May 30, 2007, to a halfway house near Northeastern University[7] in Boston. A noticeable difference in Cianci's appearance was that he had embraced his bald head, and no longer wore a hairpiece. His sentence formally ended on July 28, 2007, and he was moved to home confinement. Upon his initial release from federal prison, he had already secured a job in marketing and sales for the XV Beacon, a luxury hotel in Boston. However, he ultimately chose to return to Rhode Island and began work at the 903 Residences in Providence.[8]
In numerous interviews after his release, Cianci still maintains his innocence, continuously stating the one charge he was found guilty of was basically being the "captain of the ship."
On September 20, 2007, Cianci returned to the airwaves on local Providence AM station WPRO, hosting a weekday talk show. He said that he had no plans to run for political office again, although he had not entirely ruled it out when pressed on the issue.[9]
On October 24, 2007, Cianci appeared on WLNE-TV ABC6 to announce that in addition to his radio show, he was joining the television station as chief political analyst and contributing editor, which included moderating a weekly political segment called Your Attention Please, which was renamed Buddy TV and became a daily segment in July 2008, and is currently The World According to Buddy as of May 2011. His job with WLNE began on November 1, 2007. Cianci also hosts the station's weekend public affairs program On the Record with Buddy Cianci. He began in October 2008 as co-host of the program with WLNE weeknight anchor John DeLuca and became solo host in May 2011.
Cianci became eligible to run for mayor again in the year 2012, three years after his probation ended (due to the provisions of the 1986 Rhode Island constitutional amendment, aptly named "the Buddy amendment").[9] There was not a mayoral election scheduled in Providence that year; the next such election in which Cianci would be eligible to run is not expected to occur until November 2014.
In 2010, Cianci said that he was "taking a good look" at running for the U.S. House seat held by Democrat Patrick J. Kennedy.[1] He, however, did not declare his candidacy.
In May 2014, Cianci, who is being treated for cancer, was cleared by his doctors to run for mayor in 2014.[10] On June 25 Cianci announced he would be seeking another term as mayor.

- "Buddy" Cianci: The Musical, an off-Broadway musical created by Jonathan Van Gieson and Mike Tarantino.[12] The musical incorporates much of the material from The Prince of Providence.[citation needed]
- On the animated sitcom Family Guy (set in Rhode Island), Chris attended Buddy Cianci Junior High School. One episode was titled "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High".
- He has made guest appearances as himself on the television show Providence.[13]
- He has a brand of tomato sauce, "Mayor's Own Marinara Sauce." The sauce promised that sales are "Benefiting Providence School Children" and have helped hundreds of students attend college. [14] However, an August 2014 Associated Press report found that "in recent years, no money from the sauce's sales has been donated to Cianci's charity scholarship fund, The Associated Press has learned. From 2009 to 2012, the sauce made a total of $3 in income, longtime Cianci adviser Charles Mansolillo told the AP. In 2009, they lost $2,200 on the sauce, Mansolillo said. The following year, they made $2,974, while in 2011, they lost $2,969. In 2012, they made $2,198 profit, he said. That adds up to a profit of just $3 during the 4-year period." [15]

I was on the Mythwits last night. Was a complete blast. You can watch/listen to the episode here.
I was on the Mythwits last night. Was a complete blast. You can watch/listen to the episode here.
I wrote a guest post for Mr. Patrick Scaffido (fiendling and fellow traveler of dark, twisted roads). He asked about the difference between The Black and my other writings that are more "character" driven.
Now that the madness has died down, it's time for me to get my collective shit in order. What does this mean? It means re-prioritizing my existing schedule.
The plan was, in fact, for me to get back to work on Flames and one more Garaaga's Children story for y'all. However, since The Black's sidequel (paraquel, sequel, whatever the hell you want to call it) has been purchased, it's now my top priority. Everything else is going to slide. For now.
While writing the next book, I'll be recording The Black for audiobook sale as well as for the podcast. You know, that thing I used to do? But because I have to split time between the two and I have an aggressive schedule for the The Black's sidequel, it will take a bit longer than I'd planned.
Why do I keep writing these updates? Because things are moving so fast I can barely keep up.
Last night I received two awesome pieces of news. First off, the paraquel to The Black is going to happen. Severed Press wants it. I'm going to write it. And it will be even crazier than The Black was.
The second piece of news? The Black is being translated for the German market. That's huge. It's the first time any of my stories will appear in a language other than Texan. Or English. Or Java. Or something.
What does this mean? It means 2014 has been by far the most successful year of my writing career. The Black is still selling. It's not setting the world on fire by any means, but its sales have been consistently good. Am I happy? Yes. Am I terrified? Absolutely. Why? Because I have to do better next time. Every book has to be better than the last. But considering the amazing support from y'all and the improvements I've made, it's not as much a worry as it probably should be.
Last Sunday was the day I received the cover for The Black. One week later, the sequel was purchased, German rights sold, both ebook and paperback are out and doing well. One. F'ing. Week.
Be careful what you wish for, kids, because it can happen. And when it does, you better be ready. I'm ready. Hopefully you're enjoying The Black and can't wait for the next installment.
Now if only someone will purchase the movie rights…
A little update for you on "The Black."
As one expects, the first day of the ebook launch was insane. "The Black" bounced around all day from the 6ks in Amazon's total sales up to 23k. The rest of the week, the book's rank bobbed up and down between 12k and 23k. Right now, it's back to 14k. I'm not sure what's driving it right now, but I assume it's because readers tend to purchase books near the weekend.
The paperback is selling too. It hasn't even been out a full 24 hours, but it's sitting at 33k in rankings. But what does this mean?
Did I mention how incredibly fast this book has hit the presses? Last Sunday, I had just received the "final" artwork. Two days later, the ebook dropped. A couple of days later? The paperback is now available at Amazon.
If you take a look at the sidebar (or the links below), you'll see two little amazon logos. The first is for the paperback, the second for the ebook. If you purchase using those links (and yes, you can just copy the damned things) or use them to spread the word, then I get a bigger cut of the profits. Just another way to keep me in scotch.
Thanks to all of you for so much support and help in pimping the release. It's been a roller-coaster ride and there's more to come. I'm hard at work on recording the audio/podio book for y'all and hope to have the first episode for you in early October. Unless I decide to release on Halloween. Because who doesn't love a monster on October 31st?
This has been an insane week. In a matter of days, we've gone from not having a book out, to having the ebook out, and now the paperback is about to be released.
Y'all showed up to purchase it and at one point, The Black e-book was selling higher than Stephen F'ing King. Pretty damned amazing for someone who has hardly EVER climbed any charts. So, thank you. Thank you thank you thank you.
Tomorrow or Saturday, The Black will go on sale at Amazon.com. I'll update the links and etc for you when I get hold of them. Until then, bask in the awesome that is this book cover. I can't wait to get my paws on it. Hopefully, you'll feel the same way.
After months of hard work and frantic insanity, it's finally here. The Black will be released September 16, 2014 in e-book on Amazon and in paperback sometime next week. For now, here's the cover and the blurb. Hope you're looking forward to reading it. Thank you Severed Press for making all this happen. I am honored to be in their stable.
Under 30,000 feet of water, the exploration rig Leaguer has discovered
an oil field larger than Saudi Arabia, with oil so sweet and pure,
nations would go to war for the rights to it. But as the team starts
drilling exploration well after exploration well in their race to
claim the sweet crude, a deep rumbling beneath the
ocean floor shakes them all to their core. Something has been living
in the oil and it's about to give birth to the greatest threat
humanity has ever seen.
"The Black" is a techno/horror-thriller that puts the horror and
action of movies such as Leviathan and The Thing right into readers'
hands. Ocean exploration will never be the same.
It's been a long year. Many great things have happened, many terrible ones, and I've been writing like a madman. Until recently.
2014 is a bit of a strange time for me. I have published The Street which has been pretty damned successful. We're getting ready to publish Legends of Garaaga in paperback. The Rider, a novel I wrote with Scott Sigler, is due for publication sometime in Q4 2014 or Q1 2015. I have two other novels I haven't finished and my first small press title, The Black is now in the hands of the publisher.
Phew. That's a laundry list of books. Or is it? Since I'm working on the last novelette/novella for The Daemons of Ur, that's another one that going to come out later this year or early next. Basically, shadowpublications.com has been a damned busy company, and I've been a scribbling lunatic.
My pets have always been part of my family. I don't have human children. That, um, just didn't happen. My wife and I have adopted five pets during our marriage. The current eldest is ready to pass on.
The Johnny Fiend was a little purrball of fluff we rescued. He was a long-haired little cat that looked more like a wisp of cotton when we brought him home. He was always talkative and extremely affectionate. He was my friend during the low points in my life, the high points, and always ready to snuggle at night. His loud purr frequently put me to sleep when nothing else would.

2lb JUGS (28 servings):
MADE IN THE USA! - our whey is derived from US sources only.
IronMagLabs Whey Protein Isolate is 100% Pure Isolate, we do not use any concentrated forms of whey, nor any fillers or other types of inexpensive protein like soy. Each serving has 26 grams of high quality whey protein. It contains no sugar, fat or cholesterol, and is sweetened with a natural herb called Stevia. It tastes great, and will mix into water or milk with a spoon! IronMagLabs Whey Protein is made using Cross Flow Microfiltration (CFM).
Advantages of this processing method:
- Minimal denaturing of protein
- Preserved protein microfractions
- Better amino acid profile
- Separation of protein without the use of heat or chemicals
- CFM whey protein contains more calcium and less sodium
- CFM whey has the highest level of undenatured protein available
Whey Isolate vs. Whey ConcentrateWhey protein isolates are lower in fat and lactose, so they may be a better choice for people who are lactose intolerant. Concentrates contain anywhere from 29 percent to 89 percent protein content. The lower the protein content, the higher the fat and lactose content will be in that particular whey.
So if you need to be sure you're getting a certain amount of protein per serving, you may be better off using a cold-extracted whey isolate, which guarantees the amount of protein per gram of whey. In a whey concentrate, it may list 17 grams of whey concentrate on the label, but perhaps only 30% of that is actual protein – you wouldn't know unless you got a copy of the Certificate of Analysis from the raw materials supplier.
Be sure and read the label carefully on any whey protein isolate product as many (if not most) are not cold, cross-flow membrane extracted. This is because the heat or acid-extracted whey isolate is much cheaper. The cross-flow membrane extracted whey protein isolate is very expensive and supply is often limited, so manufacturers often have to pay in advance for enough to be allocated from the raw materials supplier – which puts the price to the consumer up even more. However, it's the only type of whey I will use in the products I formulate for people with digestive problems, as I think it is well worth the cost and I wouldn't want to put anything that might be 50% toxic into my body – no matter how much cheaper it is!
In addition, whey protein concentrate is not an ideal elemental protein source and therefore is not as well tolerated (hypo-allergenic) for people on an elemental diet – another reason I only use whey isolate in Absorb Plus.
What is Whey?
Whey is a natural dairy protein that is derived from the cheese making process (from cow's milk). Whey protein supplements utilize the concentrated protein (whey), eliminating the lactose and milk fat making it a remarkable source of protein. Whey is a complete protein, meaning it contains all essential amino acids, which are vital to your metabolism, and to making your body function properly for good health. Whey also boasts the highest concentrations of branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) found in nature. Branched chain amino acids are an important source of energy during exercise and play a key role in protein synthesis.
Whey protein, when properly processed has the highest biological value of all proteins. Biological value relates to how much of the protein consumed is actually absorbed, retained and used by your body. More specifically, biological value is the measure used to rate protein quality through nitrogen retention. The higher the quality of protein, the more nitrogen is absorbed and retained by your body.
Why Whey Protein?
Compared to all other protein sources, whey is the highest biologically active protein known to measurably enhance muscle recovery after extremely intense exercise. A high biological value means it may yield more usable grams of amino acids. It also contains the highest concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) of any single protein source. BCAAs are essential amino acids that are part of muscle protein and help reduce the amount of protein breakdown during exercise. This BCAA content is important to active people because BCAAs are an integral part of muscle metabolism and are the first amino acids sacrificed during muscle protein breakdown. This makes whey protein a vital supplement for most conditioning programs.
Who needs Whey Protein?
Whey protein is very important for athletes, dieters, elderly people, and just about everyone. Since athletes workout often, protein levels become depleted and the content from high quality whey protein promotes muscle recovery by bringing up the levels of protein. For dieters and those wishing to lose some extra fat, whey protein can be very useful because a good intake of protein balances blood sugar levels. Keeping blood sugar levels balanced is the most effective way to ward off binge eating. In a study published in June 2001, it was also suggested that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein might not be adequate to completely meet the metabolic and physiological needs of all older people.
Most people trying to change their body's lean muscle composition can benefit from adding protein to their diets. However, since protein is naturally found in many food items, deficiency is not always the problem. What is a problem, however, is that many protein-laden foods are associated with high levels of fat and cholesterol. Supplemental whey protein can ensure that your protein needs can be met in a healthy way.
Suggested Use:
Take one(1) to two (2) scoops daily to supplement the diet with additional protein. For best results, mix with a beverage high in carbohydrates and take between meals or before or after training. Do not use this product as a meal replacement without the supervision of a health care professional.
Do not exceed the recommended dose. This product should not be used by anyone under the age of 21. Do no use if pregnant or nursing, or if you are at risk of, or being treated for diabetes or high blood pressure. Consult your health care professional before using any dietary supplements.

Dot Marie Jones talks filming the Cory Monteith Tribute and Lea
Excuse me while I cry for the rest of the week.
And then cry again next week when I see the episode.
UGHHHH all the feels
Glee+ Cory Monteith + The Beatles= I can't.
this just changed my life
i listen to this, closing my eyes, taking in the lyrics. only then i have 100% respect for miley
this is important
fucking hell
i love this so much omg
Yeah okay so this is pretty damn gorgeous.
See… why didn't she just release this?
yeah miley cyrus has a fucking VOICE and it will never stop killing me
(Source: smilersource)
(Source: just-about-miss-lawrence)
I'm scared that Lea will fall into depression, alcohol or worst…
I really hope her loved ones are here for her.
Pray for Lea.
She is just ruined right now. She is running out of tears. One thing she has done is that she has called his voicemail a couple of times to hear his voice. It is as heart wrenching as it sounds.
She has been surrounded by family and friends. She is not being left alone because they want to be by her and make sure she has a good base of people for support.
I made you a video to take your mind off of all of the drama.
10 PM, found dead.
11 PM, the body goes.
12 AM, the family knows.
1 AM, the friends find out.
2 AM, the lover shakes her head in doubt.
3 AM, the world is told.
4 AM, those who loved him cry, "He was meant to grow old."
5 AM, still in shock.
Tick, tock; life is a clock.
Time runs out when we don't want it to stop.
(Source: harriesassist)
My Dad just handed me £10 and said "I never gave you this when Cory asked but now, I'll give you what he wanted me to"
I'm crying once again
If I wake up tomorrow to a crying Darren on my dash I will lose my shit.
Fans who will be there, don't be rude if he won't sign stuff and/or take photos. If you see the paps are being rude while taking videos/recordings, talk shit so they can't post it (that actually works).
This is going to be really hard.

2 Stocks Spiking on Unusual Volume
MADISON, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
>>5 Stocks Ready to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. >>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for Dow 15,000 Westlake Chemical Westlake Chemical ( WLK) is a manufacturer and marketer of basic chemicals, vinyls, polymers and fabricated products. This stock is trading up 4.6% at $86.31 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 717,000
Average Volume: 553,889
Volume % Change: 142% Shares of WLK are trending higher here after the company delivered a profit that beat Wall Street's expectations but missed on beating revenue expectations. Adjusted earnings per share rose 40.46% to $1.84 vs. EPS of $1.31 in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue decreased 16.45% to $864.6 million from the year-earlier quarter. >>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts From a technical perspective, WLK is gapping higher here and quickly approaching its 50-day moving average at $88.05 with above-average volume. This move is starting to push shares of WLK within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if WLK manages to take out its 50-day at $88.05 and then once it clears more resistance at $88.98 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in WLK as long as it's trending above today's low of $84.65 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 553,889 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then WLK will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $92.50 to $95.

AVAST ARRAY of consumer protection requirements mandate licenses, certifications, inspections, and the like for the businesses that sell us goods and services. Those regulations may once have made sense but — thanks to the Internet — increasingly they do not. It's time for them to go.
Barbers, manicurists, and cosmetologists have to be licensed. So do plumbers and roofers. Restaurants are inspected. Lawyers have to pass a bar exam. Real estate appraisers must be registered. Taxicabs have medallions. The list goes on and on, touching on almost every facet of our daily economic lives. And, for the most part, all these requirements are an enormous waste.

History of designs
The law of designs has a long history dating back to the latter part of the 18th century. Originally introduced to protect the designing and printing of linens and cottons, design law has been extended over the years to cover functional as well as decorative articles.
Textiles and the start of industrial design protection
The first Act dealing with copyright in industrial designs was the Designing & Printing of Linen Act in 1787. This gave a very limited copyright protection to those who engaged in the "arts of designing and printing linens, cottons, calicos and muslin". It gave proprietors the sole right of printing and reprinting for 2 months from the date of first publication, provided the name of the proprietor was marked on each piece. In 1794 the period of protection was extended to 3 months.
The introduction of registration
From 1839 a series of laws were passed, gradually extending the boundaries of design protection. The Copyright and Design Act 1839 considerably increased the protection given to fabrics by extending the law to fabrics composed of wool, silk or hair and to mixed fabrics.
The same Act extended protection far beyond the textile trade and gave us the foundations of modern design law. It gave protection to every new or original design including textiles. It also allowed protection for the ornamentation and for the shape and configuration of any article of manufacture.
This Act introduced a system of registration. A Registrar was appointed by the Board of Trade and unless a design was registered before it had been published, the benefits of the Act could not be obtained.
The Design Act 1842 consolidated all earlier Acts and further increased the remedies for infringement. It also divided the possible articles of manufacture and substances into classes. In 1843 this was amended to extend protection of the Act to designs composed of functional features. This meant that designs such as springs for a bicycle, an oil can and gas pilot light were then capable of registration.
The Designs Registry joins the Patent Office
In 1875 the powers and duties of the Board of Trade under the various Designs Acts were transferred to the Patent Office.
In 1883 a single consolidating and amending Act was passed embracing Designs, Patents and Trade Marks (which had also joined the Patent Office).
From 1911-49 design registration was governed by the designs portion of the Patents & Designs Acts 1907-1946. In 1949 registered designs were once more separated entirely from patents and the law relating to registered designs was governed by the Registered Design Act 1949. The most important alterations in the law was the amendment of the definition of design and the abolition of classification, both of which materially affected the validity as well as the scope of many registered designs.The Registered Designs Act 1949 is still in force today but as amended by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988. The act was amended further on 9 December 2001 to incorporate the European Designs Directive. Future amendments and changes will be necessary to reflect the growing and changing needs of design protection.

OSHA Enhances Variances Webpage to Improve Understanding of Approval Process
Sept. 27, 2012
OSHA provides expanded information on variance procedures
Updated website provides stakeholders with approved and denied requests
WASHINGTON – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has enhanced its variances Webpage to improve public understanding of the variance approval process and increase access to the Agency's decisions on variance requests. The page now lists both denied and approved requests and provides information to employers on submitting formal requests for a variance from an OSHA workplace standard.
A variance is a regulatory action that permits an employer to deviate from the requirements of an OSHA standard under specified conditions. A variance does not provide an outright exemption from a standard, except in cases involving national defense.
Employers can request a variance for many reasons, including not being able to fully comply on time with a new safety or health standard because of a shortage of personnel, materials, or equipment. Employers may prefer to use methods, equipment, or facilities that they believe protect workers as well as, or better than, OSHA standards. OSHA may grant a variance to employers when they can prove that their proposed methods, conditions, practices, operations, or processes provide workplaces that are at least as safe and healthful as the workplaces provided by the OSHA standards from which they are seeking the variance.
Until recently, only approved variance cases were available on the Webpage. The newly available information about denied applications illustrates which requirements businesses have failed to meet when applying for a variance. OSHA's variance Webpage also providesbackground on variance rules and instructions on how to apply for a variance. More information about types of variances is available on OSHA's variance fact sheet (PDF*).
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance. For more information, visit http://www.osha.gov.

DEA Scheduling Helps Arena
REZA is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Patients, doctors, and investors endured a six-month wait for the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to schedule Belviq (lorcaserin hydrochloride), the first weight loss drug approved in 13 years by the FDA. Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA) stands to substantially benefit from the success of Belviq as the obesity epidemic effects more than 100 million Americans, an estimated 500 million patients globally. Belviq is also effective in treating type 2 diabetes (T2DM), which is another huge market in itself. Even a 1% market penetration means a much higher valuation than its current one.
The DEA recently announced that it has scheduled Belviq as schedule 4 -- in line with the FDA's recommendation -- which indicates Belviq has a low risk for abuse:
"Schedule 4 drugs, such as Xanax, Valium, and Ambien, have the next-to-lowest potential for abuse on the DEA's five-part schedule. Schedule 1 drugs, such as LSD and marijuana, are considered by the DEA to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Schedule 5 drugs, such as Robitussin, contain low amounts of narcotics."
Prior to the announcement, a representative from the DEA told me that they have received so many calls inquiring about Belviq that they have assigned a liaison to take those calls. Many people also wrote emails to the DEA. Some of these can be found here.
The strong public anticipation for Belviq may be indicative of a strong launch that will occur as soon as Belviq's scheduling is finalized by the DEA. The next step in the process is a 30-day public comment period which ends on January 18, followed by a period in which the DEA reviews the comments, and a standard waiting period before the drug can be marketed. However, Federal regulation allows for exceptions due to "conditions for public health or safety necessitate an earlier effective date."
The DEA should, and I am cautiously optimistic that it will, grant an exception for Belviq so that the average wait time of 49 days since filing of the proposed rule (which started on December 18th), can be shortened to the minimum of 30 days, which means Eisai could theoretically initiate the launch late January instead of late March. This two-month expedition can have a significant positive impact on millions of lives.
Belviq would not be the first drug to receive expedited treatment, and surely, after a 6-month wait, patients and doctors seriously deserve the expediting. The DEA has granted an expedited process for other drugs such as zopiclone, pregabalin, ezogabine; and Belviq's necessity is much more important than all those drugs given the crippling epidemic of obesity. Arena's partner, Eisai, has filed a petition with the DEA to grant an earlier effective date, presenting a strong argument.
With completion of scheduling Arena will collect a $65 million milestone payment from Eisai which will boost Arena's already strong balance sheet.
Other obesity drug makers, i.e., Vivus (NASDAQ: VVUS) and Orexigen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: OREX) don't need to go through the DEA scheduling process because unlike Arena whose drug is a single noble agent, a newly discovered molecule, Vivus and Orexigen's drugs, Qsymia and Contrave, are combinations of existing compounds which are either not, or have already been scheduled as, controlled substance. Arena has already announced that it will pursue a number of trials involving combination therapies, and use of Belviq for other indications such as smoking cessation.
Eisai has been busy preparing for the launch. Eisai is no stranger to blockbuster launches as it has launched other blockbusters in the past and partnered with other Big Pharmas in boosting its sales presence.
Craig Audet, Arena's Senior VP of Operations & Head of Global Regulatory Affairs said in a recent presentation that he was flabbergasted at Eisai's preparedness for launch using an "army" of sales people.
Dr. Steven Vig who has thousands of patients and has been in internal medicine practice in Tucson, AZ since 1982, told me recently that many of his patients are eagerly waiting for Belviq, and he believes Belviq will have a very strong launch. He was one of the first doctors who was convinced Belviq would get approved while Wall Street was busy shorting ARNA. For Arena investors, a strong launch could mean substantial gains in market cap.

On Thursday afternoon, Mayor Roger Skraba declared a local emergency for the City of Ely after a wildfire near Highway 1 began approaching the city limits, posing a threat to health and safety in the area and prompting evacuation orders.
By 5:30 p.m., officials in the area said they were confident they had the upper hand on the fire, and were no longer asking residents to evacuate their homes.
The evacuation order affected a few blocks on the south side of White Street to 5th Avenue and on to Highway 1. It was lifted by Thursday night.
The wildfire near the softball fields was sparked by a downed power line, and it rapidly approached the city. There is less than a mile of distance between the fire's edge and the city's borders.
Ely City Clerk Terry Lowell said the fire came as close as a few hundred yards from city limits and was close to Ely's electrical substation. Power outages were reported in parts of town, including at the local radio station, WELY. A Verizon cell tower was also taken offline by an outage.
Skraba declared the local emergency effective at 3:15 p.m. based on the following findings:
The city's disaster plan has since been evoked.
Jean Goad, spokeswoman for the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center, said the fire started at about 1:45 p.m. about a mile south of Ely on U.S. Forest Service land.
Fire-engine crews, helicopters and two water-bombing airplanes were trying to douse the flames, which has expanded to an estimated 100 acres.
"They're hitting as hard as they can. There are some evacuations south of town. They are calling in 'dozers and more engines," Goad said. "It's very windy out there."
Residents watched as the water-scooping planes attacked the blaze from the air, flying right over downtown on their routes.
Conditions in the area have been dry, and winds were recorded at gusts of up to 35 miles per hour on Thursday.
St. Louis County Commissioner Mike Forsman, of Ely said the winds had blown the fire to within a quarter mile of the town by mid-afternoon. Many fire engine crews -- including those from Ely, Babbitt, the U.S. Forest Service, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and numerous township volunteer fire departments -- constructed a fire line on the city's southeast side.
If you have an image of the fire you would like to send in, you can either upload it here or send it in an e-mail to email@example.com.

The 2014 CT 200h receives Lexus' signature spindle-grille design, as well as new 17-inch wheels, revised rear styling and a solid-black roof panel on the F-Sport trim. A new, thinner fixed navigation and Display Audio screen graces the dash while rain-sensing wipers are added to the Premium package.
The 2013 CT 200h is little changed. Silver Lining Metallic and Ultra White paint colors are added, the navigation system has some updates, and Park Assist and a Seat Comfort package (heated front seats and power adjustment added for the front passenger) are now available as stand-alone options.
All-new for the 2011 model year, the 2012 CT 200h is little changed. Nebula Gray Pearl paint replaces Smoky Granite Mica this year. Also, new is a Vehicle Proximity Notification System that beeps when the little Lexus hybrid is in electric mode to alert cyclists and pedestrians.
The 2014 Lexus CT 200h is a stylish, sporty 5-door hatchback that may look all-Lexus, but actually shares much of its mechanicals with the Toyota Prius. Lexus, of course, puts its own stamp on the CT 200h giving it aggressive styling, a sportier suspension and a more robust version of the Prius' 1.8-liter gasoline/hybrid electric motor powertrain. The CT's interior also benefits from the Lexus touch, with upscale fabrics, better sound deadening and more features. Of course, these upgrades add weight to the CT 200h, which is why fuel economy figures fall short of what the Prius earns. While not as quiet or refined as other Lexus products, the CT 200h still feels special in the way luxury cars are supposed to make their owners feel.

…and so on till you are done.
When are you done? That is for you to decide. You can take this workout till failure or you can make it a great 20 minute routine during a busy day. It doesn't matter – just start the WOD! Beginning is the first step.
"Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way."
~Satchel Paige
Long distance tomorrow. It's the weekend – get out an enjoy it. The best way to break up a long run or hike is to incorporate some strength sets periodically in your long aerobic efforts. So during a 1-3 hour run put in some sets of lunges and burpees every 20 minutes! The length of your workout can be best decided in reference to the Spartan distance you are signed up for. Our Trifecta folk should be out there 3 hours at least!
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be. ~ John Wooden
Power hour of burpees: 2-10 push ups every minute on the minute for one hour! Time crunch? go for 30 minutes…just do more per minute.
We are sure you can find 30 minutes on a Sunday to pound out some fitness.
This WOD we featured on our blog as the first of a series where Founder/CEO Joe Desena gives you the straight forward WODs you need in racing. For this WOD Joe was asked about recovery workouts. CLICK HERE for the full feature.
People always say 'stop and smell the roses'? But smell the roses when you are planting, watering, or trimming them.
A Recovery WOD by Joe D
Rest is for when you're dead.
Active recovery is the only recovery. This means walk, get in a pool, do crunches in front of the TV…do something.

Available Projects
Our halide was built in the fifties. I have remodeled a lot myself. New dry wall per got flooring tileFloors . Recently finished a three season porch and remodeled into a play room for the girls. My problem is that with all the Improvemnets and updating brighter lighting , we still have the old metal door frames. With many many explicits , I hate them! With a passion! There is no character. Anything that makes them stand out. With a moderate knowledge of remodeling how hard would it be to replace them. My neighbor replaced his but at the time of moving in he had the whole house gutted. Floors everything . Is it impossible to remove without taking up flooring?
home depot has paint texture applicators
you can make a metal door look like a wood door
the easy way out
Exterior doors have a threshold - finish flooring butts up against this threshold. Still, you can replace both the door and the frame - worst case is you will have to trim the flooring a little or add a trim piece to cover a gap - but only if the new threshold is a different dimension from the old.
Interior doors have no threshold and pose no problem.

20 ounces prepared whole-wheat pizza dough
1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon canola oil
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced

A trial date has been set after a Shreveport woman and her son appeared in a Caddo courtroom together Wednesday for an evidentiary hearing on a charge of conspiracy to commit jury tampering.
A Shreveport man already convicted of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend has now been convicted of conspiring to commit jury tampering.
Lamondre Tucker, 23, has been on death row at Angola since his March 2011 conviction on first degree murder in the 2008 shooting death of Tavia Sills.
He was returned to Caddo Parish this week to stand trial on the jury tampering charge.
According to prosecutors, both Lamondre and his mother Alicia Tucker tried to coerce a potential juror in his murder trial into changing her testimony in an attempt to get on the jury. It was a potential a juror that both Lamondre and Alicia Tucker knew through a friend.
On Tuesday, the jury heard a phone call made by Lamondre Tucker to that friend. Tucker could be heard on the call asking if she had the potential juror's phone number. When asked why, he responded, "trying to see what her angle is." Prosecutors argued he wanted her to downplay their relationship so that she would not be dismissed from the jury.
The potential juror reportedly told the judge of the incident. She also took the stand to testify Tuesday before the state rested its case, followed by closing arguments that got under way just before 5 p.m.
The jury deliberated for about an hour and a half before returning the guilty verdict. Lamondre Tucker now faces up to 33 years in jail in addition to his death sentence.
His mother, Alicia Tucker is still awaiting trial on a the same charge. She is accused of being a party to that call to the friend of the potential juror, and of trying to cover it up by telling the friend to delete the potential juror's number from her phone. Her trial date has not yet been set.

MSU Track & Field Travels to 2014 Big Ten Outdoor Championships
May 14, 2014
Championship Central | Schedule of Events | Live Results
EAST LANSING, Michigan - The Spartans will face off against conference foes this weekend as the Michigan State track & field team travels to West Lafayette for the 2014 Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Hosted by Purdue University, events will be contested at the Rankin Track and Field beginning on Friday, May 16 and conclude on Sunday, May 18.
MSU at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships
At the 2013 outdoor conference meet, the women finished fifth overall with 76 points and the men earned 33.5 points for 10th.
Redshirt junior Leah O'Connor took home two gold medals at the meet to earn a career outdoor total of three event titles. She began by defending her 2012 3,000-meter steeplechase title, pushing ahead in the last 200-meters to clock a then personal record of 9:53.53. The next day, she pulled away for another victory in her first ever 5,000-meter race. O'Connor has won every Big Ten outdoor race in which she has contested.
Among a highly competitive field, redshirt junior Antonio James beat out the rest of the Big Ten with his last attempt in the finals to win gold. He threw for a mark of 58.25m/ 191-1 to earn his first gold medal at Big Tens, second of his career.
The Spartans earned two spots on the podium in the women's triple jump as junior Tori Franklin finished second overall with a mark of 13.16m/ 43-2¼ and senior Ashley Stacey hit a personal-best mark of 12.77m/ 41-10¾ to win bronze. It marked the second outdoor medal for Franklin and the third for Stacey. Franklin also scored eighth-place points in the finals of the 400-meter dash with a time of 56.76.
Former Spartan Beth Rohl earned her third Big Ten medal in the hammer throw, fifth overall, hitting a season-best mark of 60.25m/ 197-8 for her second-straight bronze medal-winning throw in the hammer at the conference meet. She earned her second medal of the meet, winning gold in the discus throw. She led the field from her first throw and never let go of her winning mark of 55.22m/ 181-2. At her last conference meet, she won the sixth Big Ten outdoor medal of her career. Derik Peterman won his second Big Ten medal in the men's pole vault, taking bronze in his last Big Ten conference meet. He recorded a mark of 5.06m/ 16-7¼ to tie for a third-place finish.
Last Time Out
Clocking a NCAA Regional-qualifying time of 59.00 in the 400-meter hurdles, senior Jaelynn Pryor finished second overall in just her first race of the season.
Redshirt freshman Hannah Sailar punched her ticket to the NCAA Regional Championships, hitting a career-high mark of 3.98m/ 13-0¾ for a runner-up finish in the pole vault. The Spartan men finished one-two, led by freshman Tim Ehrhardt's mark of 5.00m/ 16-4¾ to take first-place honors. Redshirt senior Codi Mattix placed second with a mark of 4.85m/ 15-11.
Earning his sixth win in the discus this season, redshirt junior Antonio James earned his sixth win in the discus this season as he threw for a mark of 60.08m/ 197-1. In fifth place was redshirt freshman Vinny Gjokaj, recording a mark of 47.95m/ 157-4. Gjokaj also turned in a third-place finish in the hammer throw, posting a mark of 55.62m/ 182-6. Redshirt senior Chris Hessell hit his personal record in the shot put with a mark of 17.14m/ 56-3 to finish second overall. He was followed by Gjokaj, who placed fourth with a mark of 16.77/ 55-0¼.
Junior DeVantre Whitelow won the men's 100-meter dash, posting a time of 10.79. With a personal-best time of 14.74 in the 110-meter hurdles, redshirt senior Kurt Schneider finished fourth in preparation for his decathlon competition in the post season.
Qualifying for the NCAA Preliminary Championships
Climbing the Rankings
Record-Breaking Spartans
Also breaking the hammer throw record was Antonio James, hitting a mark of 64.51m/ 211-8 to place second overall. James followed up by breaking his own school record in the discus, breaking the 60-meter barrier and the Ashland facility record by hitting a mark of 60.15m/197-4 to win first-place honors.
Redshirt junior Leah O'Connor led the way as the Spartan women dominated the 1,500-meter, taking home first through third place at Dave Rankin Invite. She broke the MSU record with a time of 4:16.40 to win the event. It is currently the sixth-best time in the nation.
Setting a new school record in the pole vault at Dave Rankin Invite, redshirt sophomore Lauren Chorny took first-place honors with a record-setting mark of 4.12m/ 13-6¼.
Academic Honors
Conference Honors
Junior Leah O'Connor earned Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week, from the conference office on April 23. It marked the first weekly outdoor conference honor of her career, and MSU's first female outdoor honoree since Nicole Bush on May 6, 2009. O'Connor shaved nearly 10 seconds off her personal record in her first 3,000-meter steeplechase of the season at the Larry Ellis Invitational last Friday, setting a new career-best time of 9:44.35 to finish fourth overall. Her time leads the Big Ten by over ten seconds, and is currently the second-best time in the NCAA. It is also just five seconds away from Nicole Bush's school-record time of 9:39.38 set in 2009.

Head Protection
Don't be hard-headed, wear your hard hat to protect one of the most important parts of the body. A severe blow to the head can cause a concussion, hearing problems, memory loss, confusion, seizures and even loss of smell. You can significantly reduce your risk of a head injury on the job simply by wearing a hard hat. A survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that most workers who have suffered impact injuries to the head were not wearing head protection at the time of performing their normal job duties.
Wear a hard hat when there is a risk of head injury from the following:
- Impact and penetration from bumps, falling and/or swinging objects
- Electrical shock and burn
The hard hat design and construction resists blows and absorbs shock. The outer shell protects the head from a blow or penetration. The head band and straps absorb the shock of an impact and the chin strap (if equipped) keeps the hat on.
Hard hat classes identify the level of protection. ANSI standard changes have not been incorporated into the OSHA standard. All classes resist impact and penetration.
- OSHA Class A or ANSI G (low-voltage electricity)
- OSHA Class B or ANSI E (high-voltage electricity)
- Class C (never wear around electricity)
- Class D (fire-fighters)
Make sure you have a comfortable fit and adjust the headband so the hat itself does not touch your head. Maintain your hard hat so it can protect you.
- Inspect for damage and deterioration before and after each use
- Remove and wash the sweatband periodically
- Clean the hat occasionally in hot soapy water and allow to dry
- Store in a cool, dry, and safe location
- Replace the hat if it has taken a heavy blow or is cracked or broken

Dr. Khalil "Haji" Dokhanchi, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, was presented the 2011 Justice for Peace Award at the Martin Luther King Jr. Rally Jan. 17 at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.
The Martin Luther King Celebration Committee recognizes residents of the Twin Ports community who have gone beyond their regular duties to build awareness, speak on behalf of justice, celebrate diversity and impel, foster and promote actions toward building a better future for all.
Dokhanchi, a UW-Superior faculty member since 1992, teaches courses in the peace studies concentration that is part of the political science major at UW-Superior. He also teaches a summer course that takes students to Bosnia to study the post-war and post-genocide society of the Balkans.
In addition, Dokhanchi is active in local, regional and national organizations focusing on human rights. He has served as advisor to UW-Superior's Amnesty International, Model UN and International Peace Studies Association student organizations for many years.
Interim Chancellor Christopher Markwood praised Dokhanchi for his dedication and involvement.
"We are proud of Haji not only for receiving this well-deserved award, but for his long-standing commitment to following his beliefs," Markwood said. "As a university community, we encourage our faculty and staff to be engaged in the community."

Oscar De La Hoya seems prepared to guide Golden Boy through difficult watersKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports13 hrs 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 Sports3 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 Sports4 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 Sports4 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 Sports5 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 Sports5 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 Cagewriter6 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.
Floyd Mayweather offers apology for earlier comments on Ray RiceKevin Iole at Boxing6 days ago
LAS VEGAS -- It's rare anyone lays a glove on Floyd Mayweather, but the world's best pound-for-pound boxer took a beating on Wednesday. This time, though, it wasn't from a fellow boxer in the ring, but from boxing media criticizing him for comments he'd made earlier about former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.
Near the end of an approximately half-hour session Tuesday in a lounge off the main lobby at the MGM Grand, Mayweather was asked his opinion of the video that surfaced showing Rice knocking out his then-fiancee, Janay, with a left hook in an elevator in Atlantic City, N.J.
Mayweather never expressed remorse that Janay Rice was knocked unconscious and instead said the NFL should have kept Rice's suspension at two games. When a reporter said the video of the Rice incident was disturbing, Mayweather seemingly dismissed it.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. misses mark with comments on Ray Rice situationKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports6 days ago
LAS VEGAS – Kelly Swanson, Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s estimable, longtime publicist, was seated, quite literally, on the edge of her seat as Mayweather spoke with a small group of media Tuesday at the MGM Grand.
For half an hour, the session slogged on uneventfully. Mayweather, who defends his WBC welterweight and super welterweight title belts on Saturday in a Showtime pay-per-view rematch against Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand Garden, said little of consequence.
He seemed distracted, almost bored. There weren't the outbursts of emotion he'd so famously made in similar sessions in the same room in years past.
Asked if he still planned to retire when he completes the three fights remaining on his Showtime contract, Mayweather said probably.
That became news, though when he added that he feels differently about the topic every day, it was largely ignored.
Why Season 20 of 'The Ultimate Fighter' might be can't-miss TVKevin Iole at Yahoo Sports7 days ago
For several years, Pat Barry has bragged to anyone who would listen about his girlfriend, Rose Namajunas.
After a UFC victory over Shane del Rosario in a heavyweight fight in 2012, Barry recounted his first meeting with Namajunas, which occurred at Roufusport Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Milwaukee.
The 245-pound Barry found himself sparring with the 115-pound Namajunas. Before Barry could get ready, Namajunas belted him in the face.
"I walked over and I was like, 'Hi, I'll just take it easy,' and, 'Boom!' she hit me in the face," Barry told Yahoo Sports in 2012. "She hit me and I was like, 'What the [expletive] was that? How do you hit that hard?' So I say to myself, 'OK, maybe that was a fluke.' And then, 'Boom!' again, this time with the right hand. And I'm like, 'Oh my God! I love you.' She hit me, with the big glove on, so fast and so hard, I could smell iron. I could taste iron. I felt like I'd just licked the refrigerator.
