| + | == Better have a good reason if you forgot Mother’s Day == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>May 12, 2013 6:53 a.m. In reply to Brian Greenspun; I was thrilled that you did it again! Yes sir, more about Hank Milton Greenspun! You can bet, Brian Greenspun, I just love these reprints of your Dad s articles. There is NO WAY I will ever get tired of Hank s words. I ONCE HAD A GOOD REASON TO FORGET MOTHERS DAY ? Part One I have to admire the entire Greenspun family. They have a continual love for each other from generation to generation. That s special. And I know how delightful and pleasing that must be; because that is the missing link as a child that I once longed for. I was well aware as a kid; I was only a burden to my mother. I interfered with her lifestyle. It didn t take me long to forget Mother s Day. Then,[http://h2h2.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=27514 ], the years passed and I grew up. It was time for me to set all the hurt aside. As a U.S. Marine, I tried my best to make repairs to a deeply damaged relationship with Mom. However, it was to be short-lived. I am really, in a private and innocent kind of way very jealous of Hank Greenspun. Man! Did he ever have one great mother!!! When Hank was a kid, the story is told that a customer on his newspaper route declined to pay and added some anti-Semitic abuse to financial injury. Hank at the time was eight years old. Hank s mother said,[http://noamik.de/wiki/index.php/Benutzer:Chavezrdk69#Kudos_to_NV_Energy_for_helping_our_health Kudos to NV Energy for helping our health],[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Jets-Blank-Women-Zebra-Jerseys-23738/ Nike Jets Blank Women Zebra Jerseys],[http://www.dangreer.com/ Matthews heads up Canadian Football Hall of Fame class], You let him insult you? And you didn t even insult him back? What s the matter with you? Hank s mother marched him back and pounded on this customer s door. Hot water was propelled on both Hank and his mother. Mrs. Greenspun then charged inside the house, slapping and clawing this man while Hank kicked the offender s shins. They both collected the bill and an apology from the resident. By</html> | ||

| + | == Forrest Griffin settling into retirement as UFC Hall of Fame == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Employees stationed at the UFC’s local offices have a new most intimidating co-worker. | ||
| + | Former light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin has begun the transition into his new role within the company after . | ||
| + | “I’ve had to cut my TV back to two hours a day so I can fit in both work and family,” Griffin smirked as he ate lunch at UFC headquarters last week. “I don’t know how normal people do this (expletive). I haven’t even worked much and I can’t figure it out.” | ||
| + | Griffin will eventually head the UFC’s charity efforts but said he had a different “first assignment.” He’s spending time promoting the upcoming UFC Fan Expo, which is scheduled for July 5 and 6 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center as a linchpin of the annual “Fight Week” schedule. | ||
| + | One of the expo’s highlights this year comes at 11 a.m. Saturday when Griffin and old “The Ultimate Fighter 1” buddy Stephan Bonnar are inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame together. | ||
| + | “I’m happy to be in there with him,” Griffin said. “We were actually just hanging out this weekend. We talked about it a little bit. Most of all, he was like, ‘Where the hell are we supposed to be and what the hell are we supposed to wear?’ I was like,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Men-Customized--White-Third-Jersey-13512/ Toronto Maple Leafs Men Customized White Third Jersey], ‘Stephan,[http://cheops.historyworlds.ru/wiki2/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Vandoren79#Uncertainty_remains_over_fuel_as_cause_of_engine_failures Uncertainty remains over fuel as cause of engine failures], it will be fine. We’ll know 10 minutes before.’” | ||
| + | Griffin didn’t have much more time than that to prepare for his retirement announcement at the UFC 160 post-fight press conference. Although he had spoken with UFC President Dana White about his intentions to walk away, Griffin said there was no timetable on when they’d team up to reveal the news. | ||
| + | Griffin received a call from White shortly after the card started, informing him they wanted to make the announcement afterwards. | ||
| + | “At the press conference, I had nothing prepared,” Griffin said. “I was like, ‘So this is happening.’ I was a little bit in shock.” | ||
| + | At the press conference, Griffin referred to a recent knee injury, which required surgery on both his ACL and MCL, as the biggest reason for his retirement. But there was more than just that setback he suffered while getting ready for a fight last December. | ||
| + | Griffin also called his shoulder, which had already undergone three surgeries, weak and said he feared it would likely require another operation someday. Training sessions altogether had slowed down and become more challenging. | ||
| + | “The fun thing about training with other people is winning,” Griffin said. “It’s not as much fun if you’re not winning anymore, especially if you know you used to be better than you are. A big thing I really enjoyed was feeling like I was better than I was a month ago. They say progress is one of the principles of happiness. I read that in a book called the Internet,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Packers-85-Jennings-2011-Pro-Bowl-white-Jerseys-3618/ Packers 85 Jennings 2011 Pro Bowl white Jerseys], a great book.” | ||
| + | Joking aside, Griffin missed the feeling of constant improvement. When he first moved to Las Vegas to compete on “TUF,” Griffin believed he soaked in every minute of every workout and got better. | ||
| + | That was no longer happening. | ||
| + | “It had been tough,” Griffin said. “I felt like I hit roadblocks. I felt like my body was getting worse.” | ||
| + | Griffin dealt with the inactivity later in his career — he had only since August 2011 — by working on other projects. After the first two books he authored — a self-help manual and survival guide to the zombie apocalypse — sold well, Griffin started writing a third. | ||
| + | “I decided when my daughter was eight months old that I knew everything about parenting, so that’s what it was going to be,” Griffin said. “I had a bit of the book, just pages and pages and notes of stuff. But then I got mad and broke my phone. I hadn’t saved anything, so I think the book might be done.” | ||
| + | His new job sounds steadier anyway. White hadn’t even hashed out what Griffin’s duties would entail at the retirement announcement but was already making guarantees about his employment. | ||
| + | “He will stay with this company for at least the rest of my life,” White said. | ||
| + | Griffin is thankful for the opportunity and is enjoying getting started. He’s still going to frequent MMA gyms across the valley to train when he can, but don’t expect a comeback. | ||
| + | Griffin wants to apply the same drive to his new position that he once did to fighting. | ||
| + | “It’s a good fit. Charity is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,[http://cu001.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=268103 ],” Griffin said. “Who doesn’t want to feel like a good guy by giving away other people’s money? That’s a cool thing to do, right?”</html> | ||

| + | == Gulf ratz discussion continues == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The North Pacific Fishery Management Council heard several hours of public perspectives today on a future Gulf of Alaska bycatch management action. | ||
| + | The details have yet to be worked out, but the council will look at several proposals as it makes its way down a path toward eventual action. | ||
| + | The council has enacted king salmon bycatch caps for the pollock and non-pollock trawl fleets in the gulf, and the fishing industry has asked for tools to aid in meeting those caps. | ||
| + | But the council will have to overcome several challenges if it institutes a catch share program for the trawl fleet,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Bulls-1-Rose-Black-Women-Jerseys-21358/ Bulls 1 Rose Black Women Jerseys], including issues of state and federal jurisdiction, community protections, and how to even award quota. | ||
| + | An industry working group brought forward their proposal,[http://www.hybaoyang.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=25521 ], which primarily address rationalization of the fishery as the means for bycatch reduction. | ||
| + | The Alaska Marine Conservation Council suggested Community Fishing Associations as a way to involve communities in the fisheries. | ||
| + | Trident Seafoods Joe Plesha presented a paper that suggests including quota in a rationalization program. The path suggested for doing so would award processors some quota, to use as they see fit. | ||
| + | Pacific Seafoods Mike Okoniewski talked about how a similar effort has worked in the whiting fishery. | ||
| + | The council also heard from the public on various aspects of a potential program, as well as feedback on the proposals made so far. | ||
| + | The Peninsula Fisherman s Coalition s representative Beth Stewart spoke against the Community Fishing Associations as proposed, and questioned whether community politics should play a role in assigning quota, although she agreed that healthy communities are dependent on the fisheries being discussed. | ||
| + | Representatives from Kodiak, including city council member Terry Haines, talked about the need to represent a community in any action, and noted that a community includes the people who live in a fishery-dependent community as well as all the people involved in harvesting and processing the fish. | ||
| + | Another challenge in a rationalized fishery is who manages it. Some industry representatives asked that the state and federal government come to an agreement on just one manager for the Gulf, particularly in the pollock fishery. | ||
| + | The pollock don t know the difference between two and three miles from shore, and fishermen need the ability to follow the fish as they swim around, said United Catcher Boats Brent Paine. | ||
| + | Sitka s Paul Olson, from The Boat Company, and John Hocevar, also talked about the need to consider the downsides of a catch share person, and noted concerns with privatizing a public resource. | ||
| + | Ultimately, the council will have to address the full suite of issues raised in testimony, and others, many of which were raised in the on the issue. The council will decide in staff tasking Tuesday when the Gulf rationalization effort is to come back before it,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/MLB-Size-Caps-023-10639/ MLB Size Caps-023],[http://wiki.us.es/ets_estadistica/index.php/Usuario:Kendigmuh59#Obama_laying_out_vision_for_good_governance Obama laying out vision for good governance], but final action is not slated for the near future.</html> | ||

| + | == Though Republicans are still uneasy about nominee, Senate co == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The Senate voted Tuesday morning to confirm the nomination of Jennifer Dorsey,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/MLN-Size-Caps-1-10742/ MLN Size Caps-1], a partner with the Las Vegas firm of Kemp, Jones & Coulthard,[http://www.cnjingjiu.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=391567 Head of rail company denies poor safety record], as a federal district court judge. | ||
| + | Dorsey fills the seat vacated by Judge Larry Hicks when he took senior status at the end of 2012. | ||
| + | The vote to confirm Dorsey was 54-41 — and sharply divided along political lines. | ||
| + | Dorsey, a civil litigation attorney and native Las Vegan, was heavily championed by Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, who passed her name along to the White House as a potential judicial nominee last June. | ||
| + | “I am impressed with her dedication to the state of Nevada, her community and the legal profession,” Reid said Tuesday morning. | ||
| + | President Barack Obama nominated Dorsey in September 2012. | ||
| + | But Republicans bristled at a questionable timeline of political contributions made in the weeks just prior to Reid’s recommendation, by founding partners in Dorsey’s firm to Majority PAC, a political action committee run by former Reid aides to promote Democratic candidates championed by Reid. | ||
| + | William Kemp gave Majority PAC $100,000, and J. Randall Jones gave the PAC $50,000 in May 2012,[http://www.13uhr10.org/wiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Fiorevi03#All_10_killed_in_Soldotna.2C_Alaska.2C_air_taxi_crash_0 All 10 killed in Soldotna, Alaska, air taxi crash 0], according to donation records first reported in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Dorsey had also made a $2,500 donation to Reid’s personal campaign committee — though the $2,500 was returned prior to Reid recommending her as a federal nominee. | ||
| + | Reid has denied any wrongdoing, reminding that he has no official relationship with Majority PAC. | ||
| + | But Republicans were not satisfied with the explanation. | ||
| + | “We have not received a full explanation of what happened,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Ravens-81-Anquan-Boldin-Purple-Elite-2013-Super-Bowl-XLVII-Jersey-29768/ Nike Ravens 81 Anquan Boldin Purple Elite 2013 Super Bowl XLVII Jersey],” Sen. Chuck Grassley, the leading Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday, just prior to the vote. “I’m concerned about the appearances of these contributions and how such actions might undermine the public confidence that our citizenry must have in the judicial branch.” | ||
| + | in mid-May, when Dorsey’s nomination came up for a preliminary vote in the Senate’s Judiciary Committee. That 10-8 vote split neatly along party lines. | ||
| + | On Tuesday, only Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine voted against her party to confirm Dorsey. | ||
| + | Dorsey’s confirmation leaves only one remaining vacancy on Nevada’s seven-seat federal bench. No nomination has yet been made to fill the position.</html> | ||
