The big clearance is a great help when you ride muddy trails or in the snow. The big clearance helps the tire to roll even though there is a clogged muddy tire rolling. The Stamina accommodates a massive 3″ tire in the rear swingarm. The most popular tire size used today is approximately 2.35", meaning that mud clogging becomes a thing of the past.
Advantages of larger tires
A large tire has more air volume which gives us more low-speed damping and comfort. Tire width influences the feel, performance, and support of your bike at lower speeds. Running a wider tire typically offers far better stability and grip when riding technical sections, loose ground and when cornering. Having a wider tire will create a larger surface area on the ground, improving balance.
Disadvantages of larger tires
As good as wide tires are they do have some drawbacks. They are heavier, which can slow down acceleration and the undamped rebound is a bit of a problem if you are a speedster. Also, the larger tire will reduce the amount of tire clearance in your rear swingarm or fork. We have done our best to minimize this problem for the average rider. If your trails often consist of sticky mud you might suffer from some clogging with a 3" tire.
A wider tire in front changes the trail so that the negative trail hits faster when you ride a very steep corner. In conclusion, you need to think about the type of rider you are and balance comfort, grip, and speed. If you like to race then something along the lines of an average size tire of 2.3-2.5" might be more suitable. If you are a beginner or an intermediate rider looking for more grip and comfort then larger can be better.

A step forward for supporting international student employability
AGCAS and its members warmly welcome the return of post-study work visas for international students in the UK. The UK is the second most popular destination in the world for international students to study – hosting a record number of 460,000 international students in 2017/18 – yet the UK's rate of growth of international student enrollment has fallen significantly behind that of other countries, including the USA, Australia and Germany. International students bring cultural and academic diversity and vibrancy to university campuses across the UK, as well as supporting economic growth and job creation. We hope that the re-introduction of post-study work visas will encourage more international students to study and remain in the UK.
Under the previous restrictive visa regulations, getting a graduate job in the UK was incredibly competitive and difficult for international students. For a number of years, AGCAS members have expressed concern about how to support this cohort effectively. The new 'graduate route' will allow any student that has completed an undergraduate degree or above in any subject to qualify for a two-year period to work in the UK, rather than just four-months, increasing their chances of finding long-term employment after graduation.
Abi Gaston and Esther de Perlaky, Co-chairs of the AGCAS Internationalisation Task Group, commented:
"We are delighted to hear the proposal, which will have a huge impact on the support and expanded opportunities we will be able to offer our international students studying in the UK if it is implemented. The extension of the Post Study Work visa has long been at the centre of many discussions around international student support and opportunity, so we very much welcome the decision."
AGCAS is committed to helping its members support the success of international students at their institution. The work of our Internationalisation Task Group is vital for keeping AGCAS members up to date with legislative changes, signposting resources and identifying and sharing best practice. The October 2019 issue of Phoenix, the AGCAS journal, will explore how HE careers services are supporting international students as they prepare to transition from higher education into employment. This edition aims to highlight the wide range of initiatives targeted at international students delivered at AGCAS member services throughout the UK.
Additionally, AGCAS is undertaking a short research project on behalf of Universities UK International (UUKi) to explore how higher education institutions support international graduate employability through the provision of careers and employability services and by working with UK-based employers to promote and facilitate access to international student talent. The research will aim to provide a snapshot of current activity, examples of innovative and effective practice and sector-wide recommendations for practitioners and institutional leaders in line with Action 5 of the Government's International Education Strategy.
The research is timely given yesterday's announcement as our members seek to support international students to gain graduate work in the UK for longer and, hopefully, with increased success. Whilst we already have a significant number of AGCAS member services taking part in the research, we would still welcome expressions of interest from institutions from all regions and type of institution, regardless of international student cohort size.

"Overall, the library held a hushed exultation, as though the cherished volumes were all singing soundlessly within their covers." – Diana Gabaldon, Outlander
First, let me say I'm a sucker for all book-positive library quotes. Plus, I'm a fan of Diana Gabaldon and her books. So this quote is naturally one of my favorites. (And I hold librarians in the highest esteem, since they are the custodians of books and steadfast promoters of reading).
I've had the privilege of hearing a number of authors speak at libraries (and I have gladly traveled hours to hear these author talks). Here's a you-tube video of Diana Gabaldon, June 20, 2014, at Toronto Public Library which I hope you'll enjoy. It does come with a warning – Diana writes for adults, so some of the content is a little racy!
Do you ever go to hear authors talk about their books?

Getting through international customs and immigration efficiently
MEGAN PINCKNEY | 3/15/2018, 4:36 p.m.
Getting through customs and immigration while traveling abroad can often seem overwhelming, especially if you're traveling to a place far away or a place where English isn't the primary language. The good thing is, like most things, if you prepare ahead of time you can help ensure the process carries on as efficiently as possible. Preparing for an international flight isn't challenging in the least bit, but it does take effort by the traveler well before and during an international flight. Not all international airports' immigration and customs security are set up the same way, but if you follow these standard guidelines, you'll be prepared for any airport.
You should start preparing for your international flight well before the day of takeoff. Once you've booked a flight into an international airport, you should take the time to look at your arrival airport's map. Plan what you will do from the moment you land until you're in some mode of transportation headed to your first destination in that city (your hotel, for instance). You won't have an idea of your actual arrival gate until maybe a day or two before your flight takes off, but you can still determine a path from the gate area to the ground transportation area. Making a mental note will help ensure a smooth travel experience (reviewing the map the day of your flight also isn't a bad idea).
Another way you can expedite your travel process through an international airport before the day of your flight is by determining if any visas will be needed to enter the country you're traveling to. If so, purchase them ahead of time—if possible. That will not only keep you away from surprises but also keep you on schedule and on budget.
You should also determine where you plan to leave your car while you are traveling internationally before the day of your flight. Many airports have long-term parking options with significantly cheaper daily rates. Also, there are often third-party parking services around large airports with other rate options and affordable car services (such as Uber) that can help you avoid parking all together. Be sure to check your departure airport's parking map to help you make those decisions.
On the day of your flight, several hours beforehand, there are a few things you should do. First, check the status of your flights. I know it sounds so simple, but there's no need to start the process at the airport on a bad foot if you could have been warned about it before you left your house. Second, be sure to check in online for your flights within 24 hours of takeoff. That will ensure you have a seat on your flight and could make arriving at the airport for departure a lot smoother. Third, be sure to place all necessary documents, such as your passports and proof of visa purchase/money for visa) in a place that is easily accessible. That will not only ensure that you have these things before you arrive at the airport but also make finding them easy so you aren't the reason the line is moving slowly. Fourth, before you leave your house, make sure you have packed all of your stuff in appropriate-sized suitcases that follow the guidelines for all of your flights. Also be sure the weight of your suitcases (both carry-on and checked bags) follows the advertised guidelines. International airlines are usually much stricter about the dimensions and weight of your suitcases. Also, their dimensions are usually smaller than those of American airlines, so do not just assume it will be OK. Standing in a line just to be told your luggage doesn't meet requirements would be stressful for any passenger. Try avoiding it all together.

March is almost over, which means the ACT is quickly approaching. Maybe you've invested time in an ACT study course. Or maybe you're planning to wing it. Either way, these last-minute test-taking tips may help you get the score you're hoping for and go into the ACT with confidence.
- Answer every question: There's no penalty for guessing on the ACT, so make sure you fill in every bubble. An unanswered question and an incorrect answer have the same impact on your score, so it's better to guess if you're unsure—there's a chance you could be right!
- Get a good night's sleep before the test: A good night's sleep can affect your mood and attitude heading into the ACT. Feeling sleepy can affect your ability to focus, so make sure you've gotten enough rest in the week leading up to the test, especially the night before.
- Eat a healthy breakfast: Fuel your mind by eating a healthy breakfast before you take the ACT. You'll feel energized and alert. Plus, you won't have to worry about a growling stomach interrupting your concentration later on!
- Skip difficult questions: Time is of the essence on the ACT. It's important not to spend too much time on each question, because you want to answer them all. If you need to skip a question, circle it and come back to it later. How much time is too much for each question?
- English: more than 30 seconds
- Math: more than 60 seconds
- Reading: more than 45 seconds
- Science: more than 45 seconds
- Eliminate the wrong answers: The best strategy for conquering difficult questions? Process of elimination. Look for reasons why the other answers are incorrect, rather than why they might work. It'll help save you time going back and forth between two answers that both seem "kind of right."
- Stay calm: It seems obvious, but the biggest thing to remember while taking the ACT is to remain calm. Answer questions when you can. Circle back to ones that make you scratch your head. Remember that once you've completed a section it's over and done with. You won't have to worry about solving complex equations or dissecting reading passages anymore
Want to send your ACT scores to MSUM? Remember our ACT code: 2134.
Good luck!

The deputy chaiman of the financial watchdog has resigned amid allegations that he ignored warnings that HBOS' lending practices were unsustainable during his time as chief executive of the bank.
Sir James Crosby, who headed up HBOS from 2001 to 2006, stands accused of ignoring warnings made in December 2004 by Paul Moore, one of the bank's former risk managers, that the mortgage giant was headed for disaster.
Despite denying the allegations, Crosby has now resigned as deputy chairman of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), a role he has held for two years.
In a statement, Crosby says Moore's allegations – originally made when he was dismissed by HBOS – were "independently and extensively investigated" on behalf of bank's board.
"That investigation concluded that Mr Moore's allegations had no merit," Crosby says. "While I am totally confident that there is no substance to any of the allegations, I nonetheless feel that the right course of action for the FSA is for me to resign from the FSA board which I do with immediate effect."
Moore yesterday submitted his allegations to the Treasury Select Committee, which raised the issue during the grilling of former Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS chiefs.
"Being an internal risk and compliance manager at the time felt a bit like being a man in a rowing boat trying to slow down an oil tanker," he said in written evidence. "I certainly knew that the bank was going too fast, had a cultural indisposition to challenge and was a serious risk to financial stability and consumer protection. I told the board they ought to slow down."
Yesterday Lord Stevenson, the former chairman of HBOS, denied that Moore's claims had anything to do with the bank's collapse and blamed problems on the drying up of the wholesale markets.
However, in Prime Minister's Questions today, Gordon Brown said it was "right" that Sir James had resigned.

Invisalign OrthodontistWoodruff, WI
Dr. Joshua Bruce is an Invisalign® Orthodontist, treating patients throughout the local area. Invisalign® is an excellent way to straighten your teeth, preferred over traditional metal braces by adults of all ages. If you want to improve the appearance of your smile, call (715) 365-1777 to schedule a consultation and see if Invisalign® is right for you or your loved ones.
The Clear and Discreet Alternative to Braces
Teenagers and adults choose Invisalign® because it straightens teeth without anyone noticing that they are correcting their smile. People living in the Woodruff WI area, trust Dr. Joshua Bruce to help them achieve their smile goals in a way that is comfortable and convenient.
How does Invisalign® work?
As an Invisalign® Orthodontist, Dr. Joshua Bruce straightens teeth using a series of aligners. First, we make an impression of the patient's teeth and create a series of aligners in a dental lab. The aligners are made out of a thermoplastic material that is both strong and flexible, to help the patient feel comfortable while wearing the aligners for long periods of time. The material is nearly invisible.
The aligners should be worn for 22 hours a day and switched out with the next one in the series every two weeks. Over a period of several months, the aligners will slowly move the teeth into place and make one minor adjustment at a time. Each of these adjustments is targeted to specific teeth. Thanks to the speed of the process, a patient's teeth will remain comfortable as they are moved into position. Once the patient is done wearing the aligners, he or she will have straight teeth.
Benefits of Invisalign®
- Patients throughout Wisconsin prefer wearing Invisalign® because of how convenient it is, compared with wearing traditional braces.
- The aligners are clear, so no one would be able to notice you are straightening your teeth.
- Even though a patient needs to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day, you can take them out to eat dinner, go on a date or make an important presentation at work.
- You can brush and floss your teeth like normal, and no additional tools are required.
- There is less of a risk that your teeth will become stained as compared with wearing metal braces that can be difficult to clean.
- The procedure is more comfortable than metal braces since the aligners move teeth into place slowly and only focus on a few teeth at a time.
- Aligners are easy to take care of, and you only use the same aligner for a couple of weeks.
How do I care for my aligners?
Dr. Joshua Bruce recommends that patients remove their aligner and rinse it with warm water on a daily basis. You may also want to brush them with a soft toothbrush.
Some patients may need to wear attachments or ridges in order to ensure that their teeth move into place. An attachment is a clear bump, made out of an enamel-colored composite that is secured to the teeth. There are bumps on the aligner, which grips the aligner and holds it in place. Ridges work in a similar way, except that an indent is created instead of a raised bump. This can be necessary for more complicated cases to ensure that a particular tooth, or several teeth, move into the proper place as they should.
Woodruff, Wisconsin Invisalign Orthodontist
Patients of Bruce Orthodontics will need to see Dr. Joshua Bruce for checkups to ensure that their teeth are moving like they are supposed to. Fortunately, since the aligners are made at the beginning of the procedure, these appointments are less frequent than if you were wearing metal braces. With traditional braces, a metal bracket is placed on each tooth. A wire is threaded between each bracket and held in place with rubber bands. We will need to adjust the wire on a regular basis in order to keep the teeth moving in the right direction. For each adjustment procedure, the patient will have to make frequent office visits. This can be inconvenient for people with busy schedules and a hectic life. However, any delay in appointment scheduling can prolong the timeframe that the braces need to be worn. As an Invisalign® Orthodontist, Dr. Joshua Bruce sees patients less frequently because the checkups are not to adjust anything, just to make sure that the procedure is working. This is far more convenient for patients throughout the local area.

What You Need to Know
Treatment Time
For most patients living in the Woodruff WI area, the procedure takes around twelve months. The exact timeframe will depend on your situation; only Dr. Joshua Bruce can tell you how long Invisalign® will need to be worn. Overall, the treatment time can be less than with metal braces. This is in part because you do not have to schedule appointments to keep your teeth moving. Simply put on a new aligner.
Finding an Invisalign® Orthodontist
Not all orthodontists offer Invisalign®. An orthodontist has to receive special training in order to provide Invisalign® to patients. With that in mind, Dr. Joshua Bruce has completed the necessary Invisalign® orthodontics training and will ensure you are given excellent treatment at his office in Wisconsin. To learn if the procedure is right for you, schedule an appointment with our Bruce Orthodontics office by calling 715-365-1777.
How will Invisalign® impact my life?
Unlike wearing traditional braces, Invisalign® will not make a major impact on your quality of life. Since the aligners are clear, it will not drastically change your appearance. Additionally, since they only need to be worn for 22 hours a day, they will not interfere with eating. This is a huge advantage because you can eat your favorite plate of ribs, go out for a romantic date or eat a caramel apple without worrying about a wire being pulled out of place. This time also allows you to take the aligner out when having an important conversation or making a presentation at work. It is important to note that you need to brush your teeth and clean out any food in your mouth before you place your aligners back in. Overall, this is a convenient way to straighten your teeth and provides the maximum level of flexibility.
Some people are concerned about whether or not wearing an aligner will impact their speech. Most of our Woodruff patients tell us that they have to get used to wearing aligners after the first couple of days. Patients may have a slight lisp that goes away once they adjust to speaking while wearing the aligners. This is standard with any orthodontic procedure. Fortunately, most people can speak normally within a couple of days.
How do I get started with Invisalign®?
Call (715) 365-1777 and schedule a consultation with Dr. Joshua Bruce.

PALO ALTO — Eleven Stanford students were arrested late Tuesday afternoon after they stormed the office of university President John Hennessy and staged a five-hour sit-in.
The students, members of the Stanford Sweat-Free Coalition, were protesting what they say is Stanford's unwillingness to adopt guidelines aimed at cutting down on the use of sweatshop labor overseas.
About 35 students surrounded the entrance to Hennessy's office inside the campus' main quad about 4:30 p.m. and cheered on their friends as campus police escorted them out of the office in plastic handcuffs.
"This is something that we were prepared for, but it is something we didn't want," said sophomore Dan Shih, 20, the coalition's coordinator. "It's clear that students feel strongly about this."
Earlier, some students had marched naked or topless outside Hennessy's office to draw attention to their cause.
The coalition is demanding that the university join a nationwide anti-sweatshop watchdog organization and that it adopt that group's program to ensure that clothing with Stanford's logo is made in factories where workers are paid a "living wage" and are free to form labor unions.
University officials said they were receptive to the students' ideas and have had several meetings with the group.
"We share the same goals and objectives as the students," said Jeff Wachtel, a spokesman for Hennessy. "We have been having discussions with them. There's room for creative thinking on how to deal with this problem."
Administrators said a meeting had been scheduled for next week between Hennessy and the leaders of the group, and Wachtel said he was surprised that the Sweat-Free Coalition members chose to stage a sit-in with the meeting on the calendar.
"We had wanted to work with them," Wachtel said. "Now, if you get arrested, you lose the right to have the meeting. From the student perspective, this is a step backwards."
Shih, however, said he felt university officials were not being responsive.
"We were willing to put ourselves on the line," he said, "to make sure Stanford doesn't sacrifice its values."
The arrests Tuesday come on the heels of a hunger strike on campus last month, organized by the Stanford Labor Action Coalition. That protest sought higher wages for Stanford contract workers and ended after Hennessy negotiated with student leaders.
Hennessy never made it into his office Tuesday but was spotted around campus. The president's office typically closes at 5 p.m., but administrators said they decided to close the office at 4:15 p.m. because the receptionists had not gotten a chance to leave for a lunch break.
When students were asked to leave and refused, more than a dozen Stanford police and a handful of plainclothes officers helped to arrest the students. The 11 students were sent away in two vans.
The students will be cited by Stanford police, according to Alan Acosta, the director of communications for Stanford.
The Santa Clara County district attorney's office will decide whether to press charges against the students.

Nina Simone's DAUGHTER STILL Upset About UNAUTHORIZED Biopic And Zoe Saldana's CASTING
Nina Simone's daughter Simone has spoken out about the unauthorized biopic being made about her mother's life, the casting of Zoe Saldana and how the director "backdoored" her way into the Nina Simone story. Get the story inside....
Zoe Saldana was pictured for the first time on the set (above) of the upcoming Nina Simone biopic. And lots of people are pissy about this costume & makeup someone has decked her out in.
And that's not all. During a very interesting interview with EBONY, Simone, a Broadway actress and daughter of Nina Simone (shown above), gave her feelings about the casting of Zoe Saldana (shown at the top on the set as "Nina") and explained how someone could simply write a movie about her mom without her consent or involvement. Here are the highlights:
Can you clarify your feelings about the casting of Zoe Saldana to play your mother?
Simone: I love Zoe Saldana's work. I've seen some of her movies more than once and really enjoy what she brings to the screen. As an actress I respect her process, but I also know that there are many actresses out there, known or not, who would be great as my mother. The one actress that I've had in my heart for a very long time, whose work I'm familiar with already, is Kimberly Elise. Many people have spoken to me about Viola. I love her look. I love her energy. Both of the actresses that I've mentioned are women of color, are women with beautiful, luscious lips and wide noses, and who know their craft. I also have no problem introducing someone we've never heard of before who can play my mother.
This project that's going forward, you've talked about having little to nothing to do with it. How does that happen?
S: I've been asking myself that question. How does that happen? As I said on my blog, when the announcement came out approximately six years ago that Mary J. Blige had been cast to play Nina Simone, I heard it along with everyone else and I was very concerned. How does someone just decide to do a story about someone and completely bypass family? Completely bypass her representatives? We offered to get involved with all the stuff that we have, from the music, to the pictures, to her writings, to connecting them with the stories of many people who were close to my mother, and we were ignored
So you're not a gatekeeper. So you're not someone who's trying to whitewash your mother's legacy is what you're saying?
S: No, not at all. Her life is educational, inspirational, entertaining, and downright shocking at times. My mother was good at shocking people. She enjoyed it and she did it well. So why do we need to embellish, to build a tall tale? That is what Cynthia Mort has done. She has taken my mother's name and then bought the life rights to her male nurse turned manager, Clifton Henderson's life. In my opinion, she came in through the back door. I was saying, come in the front door, let's have a cup of tea, let's talk about it. Let's work together.
I asked her 'How did you get in contact with Clifton?' She said she googled him. I asked her 'If you googled him, I was starring on Broadway at the time. I'm her only child. I'm not hard to find. Why didn't you contact me?' It's interesting because it took a little while, but the truth finally came out. She told me she was told not to contact me. My mother and I had our ups and downs, like any family, but we loved each other until the end, and I wouldn't try to edit our troubles out of any project.
When Cynthia and I ended the call, we agreed to talk again the next day. I felt like we'd broken some really good ground that we'd created a place from which we could continue to communicate. But when I called into the conference call the next day, I was the only one on the line.

Peter Maivia defeated The Crusher when The Crusher passed out in the Stump Puller in 0:06:50.
Rating: *** 1/2
Peter Maivia wasn't working by the hour in our opening match of 1971, taking on The Crusher who was wrestling a rare singles match. The Crusher's expertise is certainly in tag team wrestling, and the High Chief took advantage of that by locking on the Stump Puller to pick up the victory.
Wahoo McDaniel defeated Billy Graham by countout in 0:13:55.
Rating: -1/4*
Though he hasn't seen much success yet, you have to admire Billy Graham's guts. He hasn't stepped back from a challenge since coming to GCW, and he had a big one in the form of Wahoo McDaniel tonight. Wahoo clearly underestimated Graham, choosing to taunt him and slap him around instead of trying to win the match. Graham took advantage with his raw power and nearly pinned Wahoo a few times, but couldn't find the move to put him away. Wahoo finally buckled down and brutalized Graham, throwing him into the ringpost on the outside to get the countout win. Wahoo wasn't done as he went to the floor to throw the now bleeding Graham into the ringpost again, but was chased away by EDDIE GRAHAM! Eddie is Billy's older brother and a former GCW superstar, and clearly with Luke Graham being on the shelf with an injury, came out to protect his little brother. Wahoo didn't take too kindly to it and has challenged Eddie & Billy Graham to a tag team match at our next show on February 8 in Charlotte.
The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Gene Anderson and Ole Anderson) defeated The Cripplers (Ray Stevens and Nick Bockwinkel) when O. Anderson made R. Stevens submit to the Armbar in 0:17:23.
Rating: ***
The Minnesota Wrecking Crew are climbing the ladder back up to the World Tag Team Titles, and they went as far as to challenge the current champions the Cripplers. Ray Stevens & Nick Bockwinkel scoffed at their former stablemates, and said they would give them a match, but it would be non-title. The Andersons took this as an insult and wrestled motivated against the champs. After a solid match, the Andersons would get the last laugh when Ole Anderson caught Stevens in the Armbar and got a quick submission win. Post-match, Stevens has been complaining saying that he was in a car accident earlier this week and shouldn't have been wrestling in the first place, and that's the reason he gave up. We're not buying it, but there will be no excuses when the two teams meet in a rematch in Charlotte with the titles on the line.
Ernie Ladd pinned Chief Jay Strongbow after a flying bodypress in 0:08:06.
Rating: ** 1/4
The addition of The Grand Wizard as a manager is proving fruitful for "King" Ernie Ladd. Ladd picked up another win, this one over the former United States and World Tag Team champion Chief Jay Strongbow. It was by no means easy though. Strongbow had things very much in his control when he had Ladd on the top turnbuckle and looked to be setting him up for a superplex, but The Grand Wizard held onto Ladd's foot so he stayed put and Strongbow crashed down hard to the canvas. A flying bodypress followed and Ladd picked up the win.
Karl Gotch pinned Johnny Valentine with the German Suplex in 0:08:54.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Karl Gotch won the GCW United States Title.)
It was clear from the opening bell that Johnny Valentine wanted no part of Karl Gotch, especially with his US Title on the line. Valentine's strategy was to hit and run, keeping as much distance from Gotch as possible in hopes of the wrestling machine making a mistake. Gotch is one of the more patient wrestlers in the world though, so he didn't let Valentine's stalling and cheap shots phase him. Gotch bided his time, picked his spot, hit the German Suplex, and captured his first championship in GCW. Congrats to the new United States champion!
Pedro Morales wants a shot at the World Title.
Pedro Morales came out to a mixed reaction, most likely due to the fact that he walked out on partner Rocky Johnson at our last show in MSG. Morales grabbed a microphone and said it was nothing personal against Johnson, but he was tired of wrestling tag team matches. He said that he had already been a World Tag Team champion and had dominated that division. He went on to talk about how in the 8 years he has been with Global Championship Wrestling, he has yet to receive a single shot at the World Title. Morales said it's time to get serious and he is not going to rest until he gets his fair shot at the World Title. Before he could leave, ROCKY JOHNSON came out and said that they had some unfinished business. Johnson said Morales may not have meant walking out on him personally, but he sure took it personally, and he wanted a piece of Morales right here, right now! Morales told Johnson if he was looking to get hurt, the match was on.
Pedro Morales and Rocky Johnson battled to a double countout in 0:12:16.
Rating: *
Not many people can match up with Pedro Morales when his Latin temper is going at full blast, but that's exactly what Rocky Johnson did. Johnson showed that he's someone you don't want to cross as well as he went toe-to-toe with Morales. Both men were trying to tear into each other so badly that they stopped heeding the words of referee Dick Bartfield, instead choosing to brawl to the floor. Bartfield had no other option but to count both competitors out, making this bout a draw. They were meet once again next month in Charlotte to try to settle this dispute.
Gorilla Monsoon made Bill Watts submit to a bearhug in 0:07:09.
Rating: ** 3/4
Gorilla Monsoon was still fuming over what took place earlier, and he took those aggressions out on one of the perpetrators, "Cowboy" Bill Watts. Watts was still flustered by the return of Haystacks Calhoun putting a monkey wrench in their plans and he just couldn't find an answer for the monstrous Monsoon here, falling prey to a massive bearhug.
Bobo Brazil defeated Baron Mikel Scicluna by countout in 0:08:55.
Rating: * 1/4
[Lou Albano interfered against Bobo Brazil.]
Lou Albano has been the best thing for Baron Mikel Scicluna's career. A couple of years ago, you would have never imagined that Scicluna could go blow-for-blow with Bobo Brazil, but that's exactly what he did here. Scicluna's confidence is at an all-time high, and he came within an eyelash of defeating the former World champion in this match. Both men were fighting on the floor and Brazil barely managed to slide back into the ring before the 10 count after an Albano interference backfired and he accidentally walloped Scicluna.
Bruno Sammartino made Dick the Bruiser submit to the Sammartino Backbreaker in 0:16:47.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Bruno Sammartino retained the GCW World Title.)
[Lou Albano interfered against Bruno Sammartino.]
Our main event saw Bruno Sammartino make a successful title defense against long-time enemy, Dick the Bruiser. Bruiser made it tough for Sammartino, working over his ribs and almost getting him to submit in a bearhug several times, but Bruno fought through the pain and kept the coveted championship, much to the chagrin of Lou Albano. Albano is practically obsessed with getting the World Title back in his camp, and I would imagine there are many more challenges to be thrown Bruno's way.
Card rating: ** 1/2
Match observations:
Rematches seem to be the theme for our next show on February 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as a huge 6-man tag team main event that has been signed!
Bruno Sammartino (World champion)/Bobo Brazil/Peter Maivia vs. Baron Mikel Scicluna/Dick the Bruiser/The Crusher
UNITED STATES TITLE - Karl Gotch (c) vs. Johnny Valentine
WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES - The Cripplers (c) vs. The Minnesota Wrecking Crew
TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS - Pedro Morales vs. Rocky Johnson
Billy Graham/Eddie Graham vs. Wahoo McDaniel/TBA
Haystacks Calhoun vs. Bill Watts

The whole room went quiet as the DJ handed Keenan the microphone. She was about to give a toast to her best friend, her cousin, Mia. Instead of the typical Maid of Honor toast made up of well wishes and heartfelt stories, Keenan chose to do something different for Mia and Marvin. She turned to the crowd, and told everyone that we would be giving our happy couple a gift. Together, she warmed up our voices with a few "ahhhh" notes held out (we all laughed!), and then she told us that our gift would be a song.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away…
Keenan led us in a chorus that filled the entire room. As I captured this moment, I had to hold back tears because as Mia's friend and former college roommate, I knew just how much this meant to her.
And can I tell you a little secret? The first time I met Mia, I was completely intimidated by her beauty and kindness. Not to mention, she has that "it" factor that you can't describe, but you know is undeniably cool. I'm ashamed to say that this lasted far too long! Thankfully, she's cool enough to not think that I was a dork, and she became (and still is) one of my best friends!
We all knew that the man Mia chose would be spectacular, and when I met Marvin, I knew Mia had chosen well! He has such a captivating spirit, and I'm so thankful for the way he loves Mia and makes her laugh!
Mia and Marvin, I'm so thankful that I got to capture this day for you! You are both so beautiful, inside and out, and it's so apparent by how much your family and friends love you. Thank you for shining so much brightness into our lives! I hope you love these images – thank you for letting me be the one to take them!

Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has again being arraigned in court by the Nigerian police over examination malpractice.
Adeleke was accused of conspiring with workers at the Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School to procure illegal examination results.
The former governorship aspirant was re-arraigned on Tuesday with the charges increased from four to seven counts, still bordering on similar offences.
It was gathered that Senator Adeleke was arraigned alongside with a principal and three others accused of conspiring to commit the alleged crime.
The police also accused the lawmaker of making false documents, regarding his age and violating the Exam Malpractice Act of 2004.
Recall that before the September 22 gubernatorial election which produced the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Adegboyega Oyetola as the governor of the state, the issue about Adeleke's malpractice started prior before the election and got the senator appearing in court amidst election campaign.
After Oyetola was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Adeleke who felt cheated at the polls had gone to the tribunal to challenge the victory of the APC candidate who has been sworn in as the governor of Osun State.

City, unions reach deal
After months of negotiations, Berkeley has reached a tentative six-year contract with its four municipal labor unions representing 60 percent of the city's work force, city and union leaders said Monday.
When final, the 1,119 union members who range from secretaries to engineers will get 28.5 percent raises over six years – nearly as high as the 31.5 percent increase awarded to police officers last year.
Getting parity with public safety employees was a main point of contention in contract negotiations that began in January. Their last contract expired July 6. Since then union workers have been under terms of their old contract. The new contract will be retroactive to the July expiration date.
The deal ushers in an era of relative labor peace in Berkeley. With the police union signing a six-year deal, and the municipal unions now in fold, the city's labor costs are nearly fixed through 2007. Only the firefighters' contract, which expires in 2004, looms.
Locking up long-term union contracts benefits the city, said Dave Hodgkins, a city employee relations officer. He said that with the labor costs fixed, city officials can more accurately forecast future budgets.
The deal is expected to win official approval from union members and City Council next month.
Two unions, Local 1245 of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which represents city electricians, and the Local 790 of Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which represents clerical workers, have already ratified the agreement.
The two other unions, Local 535 of SEIU, which represents social workers and planners, and Local One of the Public Employees Union, which represents professionals, will vote on the contract this week.
Following union approval, City Council is expected to approve the contract.
The contract provides for a cumulative 28.5 percent raise over six years. The workers will receive 6 percent in year one, 3.5 percent in year two, 5 percent in year three, 4 percent in year four and 5 percent in each of years five and six.
Additionally, the city will maintain its policy of boosting salaries when workers with similar job descriptions in nearby communities earn more money.
The new contract also enhances employee benefit packages. A new formula to calculate pension benefits will will result in a roughly 24 percent annual increase for workers 55 and older.
To fund the pension increase, the city must increase the employee contribution to the program paid by all city workers from 7 percent to 8 percent. Because the pension provision will affect all city workers, not just employees in the four unions, it thus requires a separate vote by city employees. The vote is scheduled for next week.
Union members say they are excited to put the negotiations behind them.
"We're very happy with the deal," said Rick Chan, a shop Steward with the electrician's union. "We feel we're just as important as policemen and firefighters."

Order Through Chaos: Teaching Teenagers How to Think
The other night I was playing a game of Chinese chess with my son. It's something we do every so often since the day he asked me what the game with the funny markings was. As I watched him struggle and plot out his moves, I was reminded of an experience I had in Hong Kong shortly after I had learned to play the game. I was sitting at a table in front of a copy-shop across the alley from the entrance to my apartment building in Hong Kong's Causeway Way Bay district. Across the table from me sat the owner of that shop. We were engaged in one of the many games of Chinese chess that we played … [Read more...]

Analysts at ResCap say they are increasingly positive that a deal will be struck to end a bitter stand-off between the government of Mongolia and Rio Tino over the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine.
Analysts at ResCap say they are increasingly optimistic that a deal will be struck to end a bitter stand-off between the government of Mongolia and Rio Tino over the massive Oyu Tolgoi (OT) copper mine.
This could in turn offer "a significantly higher risk-reward scenario" to investors in the junior copper space, they concluded.
Investor sentiment towards Mongolia depends to a large extent on OT's success.
ResCap cites several positive indicators that "a win-win agreement will be struck for OT and that this event is scheduled to occur at a time when Presidential elections will conclude".
The election date was confirmed as 26 June last week.
"[This] will bring to a close a highly uncertain two year political cycle following Parliamentary elections and the subsequent change in government last year," they added.
If the mine gets up and running it will generate more than US$8bn every year for up to 50 years by producing 425,000 tonnes of copper and 460,000 ounces of gold a year.
OT is expected to contribute close to one third of the country's GDP in the medium term.
But the Government of Mongolia and the miner are locked in an argument over the implementation of the Oyu Tolgoi Investment Agreement.
Disputed issues range from project development and costs, to the operating budget, project financing, management fees and governance.
However, ResCap noted that "constructive progress is being made" regarding discussions with the Government of Mongolia ("GoM") according to Rio Tinto and Oyu Tolgoi LLC (as of this week), and that "bank funding in the form of project finance is now well advanced".
They also highlighted recent government approval for a proposed power plant at Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi, which would supply OT with all of its power needs.
On top of this they say pressure is on the government to do a deal after a leading ratings agency issued a warning on the country's soveriegn debt.
On 17 April, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services downgraded Mongolia's sovereign credit outlook to negative, stating "the likelihood of a sovereign downgrade for Mongolia within the next six to eighteen months has increased to more than one-in-three as the higher policy risk contributes to deterioration in the external and fiscal profiles" .
"[All these factors] have the potential to significantly improve investor sentiment and foreign direct investment into Mongolia in the second half of this year," ResCap said.

In November we will be voting to stop the repeal of SB-1, the gas tax bill. Conservative Republicans are campaigning to repeal it. They are for bettering our infrastructure, but insist that there is enough money from existing taxes to maintain our roads. Currently our state lacks adequate funding to address a shortfall of deferred maintenance of our local streets of $7.8 billion per year and $5.7 billion per year on State highways.
They argue that government spends the existing taxes inefficiently so the Democrat controlled legislature raised the gas tax rather than making cuts in other programs.
Well, I wouldn't disagree that our government is inefficient but we as voters vote many things in that make our government spend more. The primary reason we need an increase in our gas tax is very simple, it has not been raised since 1994. Inflation has caused the money to fall short of its original spending power (40% less) with less money being collected due to high mileage and electric vehicles. A gas tax is the best means of taxing the ultimate user of the roads. It is a pay as you go fee, which we all would agree is best.
Currently the state of California has the second highest share of roads in poor condition in the nation with 4 of the 5 cities with the worst road conditions in the nation. SB-1 sets performance goals by 2027 of (1) at least 98% of state highway pavement in good to fair condition; (2) at least 90% level of maintenance of potholes, spalls, and cracks; (3) 90% of culverts in good or fair condition; (4) 90% or better transportation management systems in good or fair condition; and (5) at least 500 bridges repaired.
SB-1 will give our industry a sustainable budget for a continual flow of work making it easier on our company to plan our future, have a sustainable workforce and provide employees with steady work. Please help our industry stop the repeal of the gas tax by voting in November. If you would like to do your own research, Southern California Partnerships for Jobs would be a good website on which to start.

Panthers' signing of Eric Reid doesn't end blackballing
Now that Eric Reid has signed with the Carolina Panthers, will those nuts who support the protesters finally be forced to admit that all the talk about players being blackballed from the NFL was hysterical, trumped-up baloney?
Sorry. If anything, Reid's signing highlights how political his long freeze-out really was, and how politics is keeping Colin Kaepernick unemployed.
It's still all political. Follow this:
The only offers Reid got were from the 49ers and Panthers. When the disgraced Jerry Richardson, a fitting casualty of the #MeToo movement, sold the Panthers to David Tepper in May, the team jumped from one extreme end of the protest spectrum to the opposite extreme.
Richardson was staunchly anti-protest. Tepper, in a recent interview with CNBC, mocked President Trump for his shots at the NFL and at protesters, referring to Trump as "a red-headed guy in D.C." and "Howdy Doody," and calling the protesting players "great young men ... some of the most patriotic people and best people."
Tepper adds an interesting wrinkle to the NFL quilt. He is not part of the solid majority of NFL owners who tremble in fear when the Tweeter-in-Chief attacks and threatens the league.
Is Tepper a raving, snowflake liberal? No. He is politically conservative. He favored the tax cuts for the wealthy. He is a donor to several Republican candidates. What Tepper is not: a Trump fan.
So if you happen to be a player with protest baggage hoping to get back into the NFL, all you have to do is find a team owned by a person who not only supports the right to peaceful protest, but is strong enough to laugh at presidential hissy fits and tough enough to override the political objections of his/her coaches, general managers and assorted fans.
It's a short list.

Deep thoughts, cheap shots & bon mots ...
Suggestion for Bob Melvin. Options are your greatest asset, BoMel. Before Wednesday's wild-card game, warm up at least six pitchers.
It would be cool for Oakland fans if the A's hosted that wild-card game. However, the A's hit almost twice as many homers on the road. And in the Coliseum, the A's have to worry about the Sons of Bartman factor — A's fans fighting A's fielders for catchable balls.
Whatever Champagne the A's were spraying after their playoff-berth clincher, I bet it wasn't the $1,200-a-bottle Moet Imperial Garden that the Warriors busted out for their most recent title celebration. The A's probably selected Moet Weedpatch. Or whatever was on special at the AMPM on Hegenberger. Shop local.
Cultural observation: The desire of Giants fans to see the Dodgers knocked out of the playoffs is 10 times stronger than that sentiment would be if the positions were reversed.
Madison Bumgarner's future with the Giants is still a huge unknown, but MadBum is the role model for players in that situation. When in doubt, opt for dignity and respect — for the team, the fans and yourself.
Not even ColinKaepernick's biggest fans and staunchest supporters claim he could lead the 49ers to the playoffs. But he would have provided a jolt of excitement and hope having zero to do with politics.
The mugshot of position coach Jon Gruden in the 1989 University of the Pacific media guide provides conclusive proof of where Mark Davis got his hairstyle.
Beach volleyball superstar Kerri Walsh Jennings says her sport needs new superstars. "I'm sick of myself," she says. That attitude is a big part of the reason beach volleyball fans will never be sick of her.
We have a winner. Based on my poll, the most mispronounced word in sports-talk is "integral." It is in-ti-gruhl, not intri-kull.
The A's are moving their Triple-A operation from Nashville to Las Vegas next season, the Raiders are on their way to the desert and DeMarcus Cousins is Vegas' biggest celebrity citizen. So it's official: Las Vegas is Oakland East.
Speaking of Vegas, why is "Vegas" perfectly fine with Las Vegas people, but San Francisco folks have an earthquake if anyone calls their city "Frisco"? Hey, "Frisco" worked for Jack Kerouac: "It was the fantastic drowse and drum hum of lum mum afternoon nothin' to do, ole Frisco with end of land sadness ..."
Speaking of San Fran ... cisco, if you're giving the grand tour to out-of-town visitors, be sure to show 'em the new Bay Bridge, Millennium Tower and Transbay Transit Center. Or as we call 'em, "Snap, Crackle and Pop."
Knuckleheads of the Week
The biggest whine of the NFL season, by far, is the wussyfication of the game. All together now: "They might as well be playing flag football."
The pampering of quarterbacks has reached new heights of absurdity. Join me once again: "They should put skirts on 'em."
So Jimmy Garoppolo mans up and tries for vital yardage in a crucial situation, gets an unlucky break, and he's Numbskull of the Month.
One more time, chorus: "It's football."
