I have a huge problem and really I need help solving it.
where I live and probably where you live too, there is a huge problem with stay cats and dogs. Most are gathered up by the cities animal control office and killed. Hundreds and thousands a week.
I thought the private animal shelters were the answer so I began volunteering my time and money at couple in my hometown only to find out they are corrupt.
There is little or no regard for the health and welfare of the animals and it is all about the numbers and the money.
I believe in a no kill society and am giving everything I have to the idea but not making any progress. There are many other volunteers who agree with me and will support me, but I do not know what to do.
I've gathered enough information to understand that the owner is making a living from the shelter, and keeping all the money instead of spending it on sick, injured animals that are suffering. How do I change a corrupt private shelter? I don't want to report the owner and risk the lives of the cats that are there.
I came here with my problem because the people on this website are among the most intelligent and reasonable I know. I am open to any suggestions, please help if you can.

Dec 19 2012: is my english that bad?! I live in the united states too lol. I live in Buffalo NY. Maddies Fund is probably the biggest grant organization in the country. They are private not government and award shelters money for adoptions. Lots of money. The probably is the money isn't being invested back into the shelter. The president/founder of the shelter is making a living from it while animals are suffering and in need of medical attention. Thank you for your thoughts

Help! I just found myself glued to VH1's 'Behind the Music' about Styxthat feather-haired '80s band that turned out turds like 'Babe' and 'Mr. Roboto'and being utterly, inexplicably compelled by it. At their peak, the group was a minorno, majorirritant in my life, but here I was, wincing when a critic equated their work with 'a parking lot full of whale vomit,' biting my lip when the band members fought about the shlock-rock direction their music was taking, and sobbing as bored arena audiences threw things during the pretentious playlet that preceded "Mr. Roboto." And then I watched it all over again! about the shlock-rock direction their music was taking, and sobbing as bored arena audiences threw things during the pretentious playlet that preceded "Mr. Roboto." And then I watched it all over again!
The smash series takes personalities you never could stomach and makes you care about them because 20 years later, they're suddenly being honest about their rotten grievances and failures. They're fessing up, they're throwing up, and I'm listening up. But I've got to give it up already because I don't have time to learn why Wang Chung finally separated or to discover the truth behind Stacy Q 's newfound spirituality. Well, I do, but I need to plant my ass more firmly in the moment and search for gossip with a more contemporary, dangerous edge. (Let's face it: At this point, Styx and Stones can't hurt us.)
Let's start with an episode of Behind the House Music, shall we? That genre seems to have spawned dropping-a-house music, and it's all getting ickier than a Styx reunion. See, I recently raved about Maya Days , who plays Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar and was featured on a couple of club hits, "Wanna Drop a House on That Bitch" and "Feel It." But a musician named Heather Leigh West wants to drop a house on hernow. West tells me it was she who actually sang on those records and was replaced by Days for credit and appearances. (You don't have to wait 20 years for the VH1 show on this saga; all the bitterness is available right this minute.)
Neither of the songs' writers, Jim Dyke and Steve Gittelman , returned my calls for comment, but Days herself got on the phone and insisted that she's the star singer on both records. "This is the first I'm hearing about her," she said, referring to West. "I just asked Steve Gittelman and he told me she was a session singer. The chorus of 'House' used background singing, but I'm the lead vocalist. And on 'Feel It,' which is a remix of 'House,' I'm the only vocalist." That seemed to calm the twisteruntil West chimed in again, reassuring me, "I have the voice on the recordallof itand 'Feel It' is all me except for the sample, which is the Jackson Five!" Judge Judy (Garland), take it away.
And now let me be the judge as to whether presidential farce is doing well enough to merit an Off-Broadway play, if not a cable documentary. High Infidelity, starring John Davidson as a wannabe prez and Morgan Fairchild as his woebegone wife, starts so lamely I was convinced I'd bolt halfway through and make it home in time for a third showing of the Styx special. But when the characters got into hateful squabbling about their sordid differences, I shut up, stayed put, and enjoyed the downright angst of the peppery performances. Domo arigato.
On Broadway, something wonderful happens in Act III of the revival of The Man Who Came to Dinner. (For my opinion of the whole production, check out Ben Brantley 's Timesreview; it's all true). Lewis J. Stadlen virtually cannonballs onto the stage as a wacko comic named Banjo and suddenly confetti's dropping instead of houses. Stadlen floats, stares, pratfalls, gesticulates, and charms, and it's all so fluid and inspired it shocks audiences into submission. The quickie performance is the brightest burst of welcome energy since Dole first took Viagra.
The character's based on both Harpo and Chico Marx, the Queens-born Stadlen told me in our own private Behind the Muse, "so I've attempted to make him what Harpo would be like if people heard his voice." Stadlen uses a Chico-esque "satyrlike laugh" that he first tried out a few months ago in the Encores! version of Wonderful Town(which he said isn't coming to Broadway after all). He borrowed a "maniacal smile" from his dog George, who happens to be named after Dinner's coauthor George S. Kaufman. "And I also steal liberally from Jimmy Durante [the movie version's Banjo]," he confessed.
It all adds up to someone you're extremely happy to see, and Stadlen's all right with it too; the doubly Tony-nominated actor, who's played Groucho twice, seems thrilled to be going off his Marx. "Banjo is a lighter spirit than Groucho," he said. "It's not a cynical or skeptical point of view. He's totally anarchic. Somehow Harpo figured out that if he played only by his own rules and did it brilliantly, he could get away with anything and live a fulfilling life. He's the happiest of the Marx Brothers." You certainly never heard him complain.

CAIRO (AP) — Rival groups of Islamists and pro-military supporters in Egypt are calling for mass demonstrations in city squares across the country Friday after the country's former military chief announced much-anticipated plans to run for president in an election he is widely expected to win.
Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi declared his presidential bid late Wednesday after resigning from the armed forces in a procedural step required because only civilians can run for the country's highest office.
He had built popular support after ousting Islamist President Mohammed Morsi following days of mass demonstrations demanding him to step down for abusing power.
Morsi's supporters since then have staged near daily protests, though the demonstrations waned over time as a heavy security crackdown left thousands in prison, others in exile and hundreds more dead.
On Thursday, brief clashes broke out between Islamist students and security forces, with police firing tear gas to disperse protests near the Defense Ministry.
A call for protests by Islamists led by the Muslim Brotherhood described el-Sissi's nomination as proof that his removal of Morsi amounted to a coup. Its statement said el-Sissi's agenda was to "establish a republic of fear, repression, poverty and submission."
Tamarod, the group that spearheaded the protests against Morsi and supports the new government, called for street rallies of its own on Friday to "give thanks to the citizen Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi for responding to the people's will" and to support his presidential bid. Its official website featured pictures of its members holding signs in support of el-Sissi in different provinces.
While turnout is not expected to be massive on either side Friday, the competing calls underlined the persistent polarization of Egyptian politics and the threat of street violence.
El-Sissi on Thursday shed his military uniform and showed up for the first time at Cabinet headquarters wearing civilian clothes.
Also on Thursday, Sedki Sobhi, who has close ties to el-Sissi and was his former chief of staff, was sworn in as the country's new defense minister by interim president Adly Mansour.
Mahmoud Hegazy was appointed as the new chief of staff. His daughter is married to one of el-Sissi's sons.

Bob Noyes addressed the Board and expressed his appreciation.
Amy Ryan reported on early library services beginning in 1885 through unprecedented growth in the city of Minneapolis intellectually, culturally, and commercially. In 1922 with a book wagon full of 500 books, $26,000 in taxes on property outside the city, and a circulation of 92,000 books, the Hennepin County Library was launched. She quoted Commissioner Johnson from the last Committee on the Future of Libraries in Hennepin County meeting who said, "If we were going to build a library system today for county residents, this would be the system we would build."

Amy Ryan introduced Carolyn Bacon, Organizational Consultant who will facilitate the development of a new Mission and Vision for Hennepin County Library that builds on our complementary strengths and shared service commitment. Articles were provided to Board members to be read prior to the March 19 Library Board meeting. A timetable was discussed that includes a three-hour working session for the Library Board. Library Board members agree this is a priority as the Mission and Vision is the framework for other strategic decisions.

I know everyone asks you this: What's it like to win the Kentucky Derby?
Not jinxed, but not meant for me to win. I knew [1984] was probably my last chance. When I passed that wire, I just -- the feeling is unbelievable. You see 100,000 people cheering for your horse and you ... it's just a fantastic feeling. I wanted to celebrate, but the next day, I had a big, important race at Hollywood Park. So I took the plane that night and flew to California. I didn't even have a drink or nothing, nothing, nothing.
Do you remember the first time you got on a horse?
I must have been about 11, maybe 12. I used to stay in the summer with my grandfather in the country [in Panama]. My friends and I used to catch the horses that were loose and [ride] them to the river so we didn't have to walk. When I was about 15, I told my mother that I wanted to be a jockey. She didn't like it -- it was dangerous, you know. And then I told her, "If you don't let me go to the track, I won't go to school."
What was your first professional race like?
I remember going to the post: "Boy, am I dreaming or what!" And then the horse, he finished last. The next week, same horse -- I won.
Did you talk to the horses in Spanish or English?
Most of the time I spoke to them in English, "Oah baby, oah baby," to relax them.
You've won nearly 10,000 races. How many have you run?
More than 50,000.
How many times have you broken your collarbone?
By next year, Hollywood Park could be torn down, Santa Anita could be sold, and now the governor wants to sell Del Mar racetrack to help the deficit. What's going on?
It's terrible news. Unfortunately, the economy is just ruining racing in a lot of countries. In Argentina, it's good; I attribute that to slot machines at the racetrack. Hopefully, [if Del Mar is sold] someone will buy it who wants to keep racing there. But he would probably make more money if he were to destroy it and build condos or [a] shopping center.
What would it take to get more people to come to the track?
Let 'em come for free. They're gonna lose their money [betting] most of the time.

I'm Greg McBride with Bankrate.com and here is your weekly look at mortgage rates.
More good news on the U.S. economy and a decreasing likelihood of further Fed bond-buying stimulus had bond investors headed for the exits over the past week, pushing mortgage rates to the highest point since last October.
The average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate is now at a 5-month high of 4.29 percent. The average 15-year fixed mortgage popular for refinancing was up less dramatically, to 3.48 percent, but that's still the highest since early December. On larger jumbo mortgages, the average 30-year fixed rate is now 4.85 percent.
Mortgage rates are still at extremely attractive levels, not only for homebuyers but for the legions of homeowners now eligible to refinance through the revised Home Affordable Refinancing Program known as HARP 2.0. But an improving economy was bound to bring rates up from the record-low levels we've enjoyed in recent months.

Do you prefer making love or having sex? — Anonymous
I got your second message, no worries! That literally made my night though :)
Hmmm… I'd have to say making love because I'm in an LDR, so when we do get a chance to have sex it's been a while and we miss each other. It's a way for us to connect and be together both emotionally and physically.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - Central Wisconsin's finest student actors take the stage tonight in the musical classic Les Miserables.
The Central Wisconsin Educational Theatre Alliance celebrates its 20th anniversary with a reprisal of their first musical production tonight at the DC Everest Senior High School. Originally known as the Shakespeare Project, CWETA brings in talent from high schools across the area to perform high level productions every two years.
Project Coordinator Laurie Maegli says past performances by CWETA have proven their quality. "We try to do professional quality theatre, and we have a reputation for delivering." Nine schools take part in the production, with new schools Marathon and Mosinee added. The program was created in 1992 in order to help local high schools to meld top theatrical student talent so large productions could be performed.

Sell These 5 Toxic Stocks Before It's Too Late
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
Last up on our list of toxic-looking names is Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN), a stock that's currently forming a classic double top pattern in shares.
A double-top pattern is formed by two swing highs that come in at approximately the same price level. They're separated by a swing low that's the breakdown level for the pattern - a move below that low triggers the sell signal in shares. For REGN, that sell signal comes on a move below $165.
As a shareholder, it's important to remember that it doesn't matter why selling pressure is coming into this stock right now -- the two tops on this chart show us that it is. Now, it's just a question of whether that newly introduced selling pressure can overcome the holdout buyers sitting below that $165 level. If they do (with a breakdown), then it's time to exit this stock -- or even bet against it.If you decide to take the short-side, I'd recommend keeping a stop on the other side of the 50-day moving average.

By Dr. Mona Khanna, FOX 32 News medical contributor
What a thrill to be invited as one of only two American journalists and nine other international journalists on a medical journalism study tour of some of Poland's finest international medical tourism destinations.
Medical tourism is something I and many other Americans have become interested in, as the cost of healthcare in the U.S. tends to climb higher and higher than other nations of comparable quality. In addition, private companies and insurance companies are now looking at overseas medical services as a more affordable way to provide high quality care with similar medical outcomes as America.
For the past two years, I have been a featured speaker at the Medical Tourism Congress and this year I was invited to speak at the fall International Medical Tourism Conference in Shanghai. So when Poland called, I was intrigued, as I didn't know much about its services.
The idea of the tour was the selection of Poland medical tourism by the Republic of Poland as one of the 15 most important sectors of the economy. The tour was about 75% sponsored by funds from the European Union.
The goal of the experience was to educate international journalists about Poland's multi-faceted high quality low-cost health services, specifically focusing our tour on heart care, dentistry, sports medicine/bone/joints, health and wellness, dermatology/skin care, healthcare plans and multi-specialty groups. For example, one of the study findings from the EU Euro Health Consumer Index 2012 Report was Poland's low death rate after a heart attack (4% in the ensuing 30-days). And one of the health centers we visited was the Polsko-Amerykanskie Kliniki Serca, or American Heart of Poland Group, a 22-clinic network of interventional cardiology, angiography and heart surgery departments in Poland. The Group, privately owned by three physicians, including an American man of Polish descent, is re-inventing specialty care in Poland, by providing carved-out heart services with planned expansion into stroke services. It is also making a name for itself on the international stage, by conducting experiments in stents that are reabsorbed by the body. The premise is that the stents are only needed for a short period of time to prop a heart vessel open to prevent it from narrowing and closing, and then they dissolve.
One of three American Heart of Poland founders Andrzej Bochenek, MD, PhD, told me that one of the surgeries performed was repair of an ascending aortic aneurysm, a bulging and weakness of the largest artery in the body. That surgery cost the patient's insurance company 15,000 Euros while it would have cost 30,000 Euros in Germany, his home country. Not to mention that the surgery was done immediately in Poland, while he would have had to wait several months in Germany.
One of the highlights of this study tour is networking with the other journalists: my US counterpart Scott Frankum, Moscow writers Maria Prokopchenko, Alexandra Tyrlova, Irina Popkowa and Ekaterina Fadeeva, Germany-based Bettina Horster, Oslo resident Morten Aasbo, and Swedes Anders Karlsson, Hanna Brodda and Helio Ruiz (originally from Colombia). We had the opportunity to meet each other at our first dinner together, at Restauracja Pod Aniołami (translated as Under the Angels Restaurant) adjacent to the famed Rynek Glowny, the larest medieval town square in Europe. We got to know each other over salad and Polish meats, traditional fermented Polish soup called Zurek, cabbage leaves stuffed with buckwheat called Golabki, pork or chicken, potatoes, traditional Polish cheesecake with raisins in roseberry sauce and white wine, red wine and a variety of juices. Afterwards, we all walked to the nearby Ostoya Palace Hotel, a classic European boutique hotel, where we spent our first night.

SEATTLE (AP) — A businessman has pleaded guilty to three felonies after authorities say he failed to pay golfers their hole-in-one prizes.
The Washington state Office of the Insurance Commissioner says Kevin Kolenda pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of selling insurance without a license and one count of first-degree theft. He will be sentenced in the coming months.
Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler says Kolenda has a long history of selling illegal insurance and refusing to pay prize winners. Kreidler's office says similar allegations have been made against Kolenda or his business in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Montana, New York, North Carolina and Ohio.
Kolenda's attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment Saturday.

Lightweight Bout: Thiago Tavares vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
Jeffrey Harris:
Nurmagomedov's last fight against Gleison Tibau was extremely disappointing. It was a fight I don't think he should've won. Still, I see this as a winnable fight for him with the way he likes to grind and use the clinch and keep moving forward. Nurmagomedov's strength is his grappling, so I don't see him being able to submit Tavares who has never been submitted. But I think he will do enough to get a victory.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, Decision
Patrick Mullin:
I really do believe that Khabib Nurmagomedov has the potential to be a UFC champion. He has world class grappling skills and at a young age can learn the needed intricacies of the game to become one of the best. That said he's facing a well schooled grappler with heavy hands in Thiago Tavares. While Tavares hits hard he's not overly technical and I think Nurmagomedov will be able to have his way with the grappling, though a finish is unlikely.
Khabib Nurmogomedov, Split Decision
Jeremy Lambert:
Tavares has been in the UFC since 2007 and it feels like he's gone nowhere. I guess that's what happens when you're an inconsistent fighter but don't lose enough to be cut. Nurmagomedov beat Gleison Tibau in his last fight, but his performance was pretty lackluster. That said, I think he can he can replicate the same type of game plan against Tavares, at least that's what he should look to do since I think Tavares outstrikes him pretty easily, although Nurmagomedov does have heavy hands. I think Nurmagomedov slows the action down when he gets in trouble and wins a decision, but who cares.
Nurmagomedov, Decision
Jon Butterfield:
Gleison Tibau is a big, powerful roadblock that most lightweights just can't get by – Khabib Nurmagomedov did, however, though in somewhat unimpressive fashion. Still, a winning strategy is a winning strategy, and it's not out of the question to expect something similar against the slightly more dynamic Thiago Tavares. Tavares isn't as awkward as Tibau, in my opinion, and is a more favourable foe for Nurmagomedov, who should be able to out-work him on the feet and dominate in top control to pick up a points win.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, Decision
Robert Winfree:
I thought Khabib Nurmagomedov lost his last fight against Gleison Tibau, but no sense in being upset over the past. The reality is that Nurmagomedov is a very talented fighter, he has good grappling, good striking, and a big upside. Thiago Tavares is the definition of a no where fighter, he's been with the UFC since 2007 and hasn't changed his status at all during that time. Hopefully Nurmagomedov has a better showing here than his last fight, but he should win either way.
Khabib Nurmagomedov, Decision
The staff picks Khabib Nurmagomedov, 5-0.
Heavyweight Bout: Ben Rothwell vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
Jeffrey Harris:
I hope Ben Rothwell shows the same dedication he did in his last fight against Schaub where he came in great shape and actually looked ready to fight for once. Both guys have been very inconsistent throughout their Octagon careers. I see this fight going two ways. It will either be a dull, slow and disappointing heavyweight affair like Rothwell's fights with the likes of Yvel and Mark Hunt, or a guy will get knocked out some time in the first. Gonzaga returned to the UFC, but he hasn't fought in about a year. Rothwell hasn't fought since April, so ring rust could be an issue for both fighters. Gonzaga packs some power, but generally if you push forward and attack him, he will go down and eventually crumble. If Rothwell is prepared to do that, I think he will win. I'm interested to see this fight and how it will ultimately go.
Ben Rothwell, TKO, Round 1
Patrick Mullin:
This is an extremely close fight between two guys who have 'Jekyll and Hyde Syndrome' as fighters. When they're in shape and come to fight they tend to win impressively. When they train just a little bit lackluster they show up and get schooled by guys they have no reason to lose to. Each guy looked extremely motivated in their last bout with Gonzaga submitting Giant Oliveira and Rothwell knocking out Brendan Schaub. I think Gonzaga is capable of standing with Rothwell without being outgunned and he'll be able to get his grappling game going and close on Rothwell for ground and pound. That will set up a submission for him and a hometown victory.
Gabriel Gonzaga, Submission, Round 2
Jeremy Lambert:
There's nothing I love more than watching Rothwell get destroyed so I'm pumped for this fight. Not that I completely trust Gonzaga, I mean, just look at his track record, but when it comes to talent, Gonzaga is levels above Rothwell. Rothwell hits hard and that's about it. Gonzaga hits hard as well, but he's the more diverse striker and his leagues better on the ground. If Gonzaga decides to takedown Rothwell right away, chances are he can submit him within 30 seconds. Mark Hunt nearly submitted Rothwell for Christ's sake. It's possible that Rothwell catches Gonzaga, because Gonzaga is flakey and has a terrible chin, but if he's smart and fights like he did in his last bout, this one shouldn't last long. However, for the sake of myself and Samer Kadi making an entire podcast out of one fight, I hope this fight is 15-minutes of sloppy, slow, heavyweight action.
Gonzaga, Submission, Round 1
Jon Butterfield:
I shudder to think how bad this fight could be, so let's just hope it surpasses all expectations and provides a bone-crunching finish. Both are capable of delivering a KO, but Gonzaga often looks far too flat-footed to score one against anyone with above-average movement, and while that's not exactly Rothwell's strength, 'Big' Ben's experience should see him avoid the heaviest weaponry in Gonzaga's arsenal. The biggest advantage in this fight, however, is Gonzaga's ground game, where he should be too much for Rothwell so long as he winds up on top at one point or another. I don't think that will happen, though, so my pick is Rothwell to win by TKO late in the first – Gonzaga is the more talented fighter, but isn't physically adept at taking punishment. The more of a scrap this is, the more it favours Rothwell.
Ben Rothwell, TKO, Round One
Robert Winfree:
If this fight doesn't end early it will be ugly. Dare I say an early front runner for worst fight of the year in fact. This fight in many ways comes down to how Gabriel Gonzaga decides to fight. Honestly I'm just not really looking forward to this one. If Gonzaga's last fight was any indicator he's more willing to use his submission game this time, and assuming he doesn't have a mental break down, which is quite possible, I think he wins here.
Gabriel Gonzaga, Submission Round 1
The staff picks Gabriel Gonzaga, 3-2.
Middleweight Bout: Daniel Sarafian vs. CB Dollaway
Jeffrey Harris:
Sort of an odd choice for the co-main event. I think the heavyweight bout probably should've been the co-main event, but it's a free fight on FX so who cares? Sarafian is a Brazilian fighter that is 7-2 with limited experience. He lost in the prelims of the first ever Bellator event in 2009. And he lost to Mike Whitehead before that. He also hasn't fought in over a year and a half. Dollaway, not the best or grittiest dude and he's been wildly inconsistent throughout his UFC tenure but with his grappling and wrestling he should be able to take care of this guy very quickly unless his fails him again.
CB Dollaway, Decision
Patrick Mullin:
Honestly there may not be a fighter I enjoy watching less than CB Dollaway. I cannot stand to watch this guy impersonate a wet blanket every time he steps into a cage and I relish seeing him lose. I have no good reason to pick against him other than I desperately want it to happen so the UFC can potentially cut him and I never have to see him on TV again.
Daniel Sarafain, Round 1, For the Love of God
Jeremy Lambert:
I don't know anything about Sarafian because I didn't watch TUF: Brazil and don't feel like searching out YouTube videos of his fights against no-name Brazilians. I do know about Dollaway though and I know that he's not all that good. His striking sucks and even though his wrestling is alright, his submission defense isn't very good. I'm sure Sarafian has no wrestling background, but Brazilians typically have good hips, which means he might be able to explode to his feet or shift for an armbar on the ground. I'm going with the unknown here because that's how much I thing of Dollaway. I figure Sarafian catches him early and then submits him on the ground. At least that's what I'm rooting for.
Sarafian, Submission, Round 1
Jon Butterfield:
Daniel Sarafian is the favourite coming in to this fight, which surprises me somewhat. I haven't seen TUF: Brazil and know next to nothing about Sarafian, but his record on paper is pretty poor. He is 0-1 in Bellator, and it's not like he was just fed to a far superior fighter either, which Bellator have a tendency of doing – he lost to Gary Padilla by TKO. Sarafian also lost to the much larger Mike Whitehead, which suggests he isn't quite as slick as some think. Back to this fight – CB Dollaway gets a hard time given how bad some of his fights have been, but you'd imagine he could beat the opposition Sarafian has faced pretty handily, and I imagine he'll out-wrestle the Brazilian here.
CB Dollaway, Decision
Robert Winfree:
You know, for all the potential CB Dollaway had at one point he flushed it away by not even trying to finish Jason Miller when Miller was clearly fighting on one leg. Unfortunately I think Dollaway uses the same basic method here, takedown and hold down.
CB Dollaway, Decision
The staff picks CB Dollaway, 3-2.
Middleweight Bout: Vitor Belfort vs. Michael Bisping
Jeffrey Harris:
This is a good test for Bisping to fight a bigger name dude and a fast, heavy handed striker, long seen as one of his weaknesses. Bisping had a strong performance against Chael Sonnen despite coming out of it with a loss. Belfort is a very good first round fighter. He has powerful, fast, quick, and heavy hands but if a fight gets out of the first round without him getting the finish, he tends to lose. Belfort is a powerful striker, but his takedown defense and wrestling is terrible. Bisping has done well in not only dealing with a top shelf wrestler like Sonnen, but also showed much improved wrestling and takedowns to neutralize a good striker like Brian Stann. If Bisping can avoid Belfort's power and take this to the ground, I think he can win this. Belfort's dangerous off his back, but Bisping has fairly good submission defense. Bisping has much better cardio and conditioning than Belfort who lacks heart and has never throughout his career been able to come back once the fight gets into deeper waters.
Michael Bisping, Decision
Patrick Mullin:
You can read my full breakdown of this fight in this week's Blueprint. What this is basically going to come down to is Michael Bisping's lack of intelligence. People claim Vitor isn't a smart fighter but Michael Bisping makes him look like Anderson Silva. Bisping constantly circles into his opponent's power hand whether they're orthodox or southpaw, moves backward in a straight line when rushed, and throws kicks in close distance. Combine that with the fact that Belfort is the stronger of the two physically and a better grappler than Bisping and this is about as bad a style match up as you can get for the Count, who goes down for the count in this one.
Vitor Belfort, KO, Round 1
Jeremy Lambert:
I really want Bisping to win this fight, only because it means we'll likely get to see Anderson Silva screw around and then destroy him in England. But beating Belfort is no easy task, especially when you're as hittable as Bisping is. In almost every single fight he's ever been in, Bisping has been caught and hurt. To his credit, he's almost always survived, come back, and then win the fight. But when Belfort has a guy hurt on the feet, he rarely lets them off the hook. If Bisping can survive that initial flurry though, this is his fight to lose. He should have the cardio advantage over the course of 25-minutes and we know that Belfort is a mental flake. Say what you will about Bisping, but he's a pretty mentally tough fighter who knows how to pour it on at the right time. I expect Bisping to stay on his bicycle early, but also give Belfort different looks by threatening with the takedown. Bisping is an underrated wrestler, but Belfort's takedown isn't terrible or anything. And don't be shocked if Belfort tries to takedown Bisping, especially in later rounds if he starts to get a little tired. Hell, maybe he'll pull guard again like he did against Jon Jones. I've never been completely sold on Bisping, but I can't argue with the results he's produced and I hate trusting Belfort given his history. That said, I like Belfort in this fight because if he hurts Bisping, chances are he'll put him away. Even if it takes a couple of shots to the back of the head.
Belfort, TKO, Round 1
Jon Butterfield:
Michael Bisping's boxing has come on leaps and bounds, and the Clitheroe fighter is up there with Nick and Nate Diaz in that regard. A master of landing in huge number, Bisping gets a hard time for his lack of KO power, but that's pretty ridiculous since few criticize the aforementioned Skrap Pack members in that regard. Bisping's fights are generally very entertaining, and as has been alluded to alraedy, he has a tendency to come from behind and out-last foes en route to a win. He can't afford to do that here, though, so he'll have to be at his best in terms of footwork and movement, because Belfort is a blitzkrieg machine with phenomenal hand speed and frightening power.
Having said that, it just seems so unlikely that Belfort can win this fight. Belfort relies far too much on his ability to stop fights early that he rarely leaves a great deal in the tank. He also foregoes footwork and movement to some degree and has a tendency to fight at a slower pace as he waits for openings. I predict he'll stand in front of Bisping for too long and get picked apart, with the damage accumulating heavier and heavier as the rounds slip by. KO stoppages of Rich Franklin and Yoshihiro Akiyama show what CAN happen to Belfort's opponents, but Bisping is better than those fighters and will prove it in Belfort's homeland.
Michael Bisping, TKO, Round Four
Robert Winfree:
I'm really of two minds as far as this fight goes. On one hand I want Michael Bisping to win just so Anderson Silva can annihilate him and we never have to hear him talk about a title shot again. On the other, him being on the receiving end of a Vitor Belfort KTFO moment does indeed have its appeal. When thinking about this fight, it goes one of two ways, either Belfort catches Bisping early and puts him away or Bisping out points Belfort. Bisping tends to be caught with punches far too often, and that has me leaning towards Belfort. That said, picking against Bisping unless he's fighting the very best is pretty stupid. As much as I dislike the guy he knows how to win most of the time. I'm going with my heart over my head with this one officially.
Vitor Belfort, KO Round 1
The staff picks Vitor Belfort, 3-2.

Rain is in the forecast all day today and tomorrow so I was thinking that it's a perfect reason to head over to Key West Island Books at 513 Fleming Street to pick up some books written about Key West. Here are some of our favorites.
We are excited about this one because it has the name of our own Cypress House Hotel. It's the story of Arlen Wagner who wakes up on a train one hot Florida night and sees death's calling card in the eyes of his fellow passengers. He abandons the train with fellow passenger Paul Brickhill and soon they find themselves in a rural jail, then stranded at the Cypress House, directly in the path of a hurricane. Rebecca Cady owns the roadhouse but the only guests she has in-house have been hand-picked by the local sheriff. It's suspenseful and a fun read, especially if you're staying at Cypress House with us!
Many who come to Key West are inspired by the story of the Bahama Conch, Merlin Albury, and his family. Carl Hiassen paid homage, of sorts, and our Merlin Guesthouse and Albury Court Hotel have been named in honor of him as well.
Key West is a smuggler's paradise. Breeze Albury is the best fishing captain running contraband on the Rock. But he wasn't always that way. Breeze Albury was basically an honest guy until the Machine (the Cubans) and a group of Colombians set him up for a deep mess. When nearly all his trap lines are cut while his bills pile up, Breeze takes a side job delivering a load of pot and realizes, too late, that he's been set up as the fall guy.
Corruption, bad cops, smugglers, drug lords, and Conchs. It's a funny, savvy, fast-paced thriller that gives a nod to old Key West history and lore.
This is Mike Dennis' first novel of a trilogy that he says "takes you inside the world of Key West noir, a world tucked way back in the shadows, where the tourists never go."
I really liked this book, noir is one of my favorite genres, and can't wait to read the next two. The story stakes place in a Key West of the year 1991. Don Doyle is a tough, savvy Conch grifter who just got out of prison, where he served three years for a diamond con that went sour. Now he's back to collect his $200,000, but the money has vanished, tied up in "investments" that seem fishy. A local family dynasty, a cop with a bad attitude, the FBI, and the Russian mob all have a stake in the action. They're convinced Cuba is on the verge of "opening up", and they all want Doyle either gone or back in prison.
But Doyle's got his friends Shimmy and Dr. Chicago to help him out. Lots of fun!
Lastly there is Hemingway's only novel that is set in the U.S. and in Key West, where he wrote it. I have read several of his books and couldn't decide if I loved it or hated it. You'll have to let me know what you think.
It's 1937 and Harry Morgan, a fishing boat captain who runs blackmarket goods between Cuba and Key West, is broke and desperate. He makes a critical decision to smuggle Chinese immigrants into Florida in order to feed his family and kills the person in charge of getting them there. Lots of soul searching follows and maybe he was correct in his statement overall: "No man alone now has got a bloody fucking chance."
This novel was made into a film in 1944 starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. I haven't seen that version yet, but have put it on my list.

Tucked in the fall foliage in the Fieldston section of the Bronx lies a castle. Yes, the Bronx has its own French provincial-style chateau with stone walls, turret, and cathedral entrance ways.
It was built in 1926 by an Italian shipping magnate to replicate a castle his family owned in Croatia.
After restoring the castle, current owner Alec Diacou is selling it through Stribling. For $3.65 million you could own this five-bedroom fortress.
It is a 15-minute commute to Manhattan by car, subway or chariot.

OK, with the new sub-forum Top Threads, I have a question for StubHawk.
Should we post our top threads in Forum Battles and also put them in Top Threads, or only post them in Top Threads and be assured that people will consistently check that?
I will give you 1,000 acres of land on Planet Orgy for your people if you aid us in this military conflict.

ANGOON, AK (CNN) – Call it one whale of a close call in Alaska.
A seaplane nearly landed on a humpback whale in the tiny, remote city of Angoon last week.
Thomas Hamm caught the whole thing on camera.
It appeared the plane was going to collide with the whale swimming just under the surface. But the pilot advanced the throttle and pulled up, getting just enough lift to avoid the mammal.
The plane landed safely seconds later.
Later Hamm showed the pilot the video he shot. Hamm said the pilot told him he didn't notice the whale. He only reacted to the commotion on the shore, where people were pointing and yelling.
Right as the pilot pulled up, the whale breached, clearing his blowhole and drenching the plane's windshield.

After a century long history of American interventionism across the world, culminating most recently with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, it has almost become automatic for the United States to intervene in all foreign affairs.
With a defense budget hovering around $530 billion dollars, we certainly have the means to carry out these types of military operations (what else are we going to spend it on, education?). However, under the Obama administration, there seems to have been a fundamental shift in United States foreign policy. In response to uprisings in Egypt, Syria, and most recently Ukraine the United States has taken a more diplomatic approach, preferring negotiations and economic sanctions instead of deploying companies of marines. It is my contention that public opinion has played a large role in this change. Let's explore this shift.
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading.

Accomplice to Reading doctor known as "Candyman" arrested on multiple felony charges
HARRISBURG - Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane announced that agents from the office's Bureau of Narcotics Investigations (BNI) have arrested Rameeza Chowdhury, the Program Director/Administrator for Berks Psychiatry Inc. and the alleged accomplice to Dr. Mohammed Abdul Rahman Khan, the Reading doctor known as "Candyman" who allegedly prescribed controlled substances to drug-dependent patients.
Dr. Khan was arrested in October of last year after allegedly writing more than 3,100 prescriptions for more than 145,000 pills including Adderall, Ritalin and Xanax for patients without medical necessity. Read the Office of Attorney General's October press release announcing Dr. Khan's arrest. The case was presented to a statewide investigating grand jury.
According to the grand jury, Chowdhury, as the office administrator, turned the normal mental health practice upside down by ensuring therapists' input was used only after controlled substances were prescribed. Chowdhury allegedly directed associates at the practice to falsify documentation in the patient files to justify the prescriptions and was aware that billing codes were routinely being falsified. Chowdhury also allegedly ordered the therapists to falsify records in order to fool potential auditors from the state or insurance companies.
After Dr. Khan's arrest, Chowdhury continued to work at the practice. According to the presentment, Chowdhury attempted to "coach" a witness on how to influence the grand jurors and convince them that the crimes at the practice were the fault of employees other than Chowdhury or Dr. Kahn. Chowdhury, in the following days, allegedly lied to the grand jury herself.
Chowdhury is charged with eight felonies including:
Attorney General Kane thanked Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams and the Berks County Detectives for their assistance. Chowdhury was preliminarily arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Stuart Kennedy, who set bail at $500,000. The preliminary hearing for Chowdhury and Dr. Khan is scheduled for Feb. 7.
(A person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.)

There are more Godzilla movies (28) than James Bond movies (22)!
These are also two of the longest movie series ever. The first James Bond film came out in 1962, making the series nearly 50 years old! The first Godzilla film came out in 1954, so they've been making Godzilla movies for almost 60 years! Neither series is over yet either. In fact, new installments in both the Godzilla and James Bond series are slated for 2012 releases. The Godzilla film will be in 3-D!
We've only counted "official" releases for these series. Technically, there are 29 Godzilla movies if you wanted to count the American movie directed by Roland Emmerich (I'd rather not). There's also 24 James Bond films if you count the 1967 James Bond parody film Casino Royale with comedian Peter Sellers as Bond and if you count Never Say Never Again, an unofficial James Bond film starring Sean Connery.

Roulette is a game that requires little skill to play, which combined with it's slow pace (although you can opt for turbo speed if you like these days), and the fact that it is easy to master, makes it one of the most popular casino games in the world. The variations of the game that we know today are very similar to the roulette that was played in the Monte Carlo casino in it's early days. It was considered a luxury game as it was only originally only available to play in Monaco, which eventually lead to a great interest and increase in popularity.
As you may know there are a few variations of the game including American roulette, French Roulette and European roulette. There are not many differences between them, in fact the main difference is in the amount of zeros on the wheel.
American roulette is the only one of the variations to have two zeros on the wheel and betting table, a 0 and a 00. This extra zero was added to the game to increase the house odds.
European roulette is exactly the same as American roulette, except it only features one 0 on the wheel and board, therefore increasing the odds of the player when comparing to the American variant.
French roulette, which is the original roulette that was played in Monte Carlo, again has only one 0 on the table and wheel. The difference is the betting surface itself which features a totally different betting design when comparing it to the other two variants.
This is one of the most popular sections of the site- no surprise there, I suppose, because everything here is free! If you would like to test out a range of roulette games from different games developers, then this is the section to head for. Includes games for high rollers like Premier Roulette, games for novices and variants that are a bit different, like mini roulette.
This section includes games from Microgaming, Playtech, IGT and Net Ent, all of which have their pros and cons. But anyyhow, test them yourselves, and see what you think.
The basic guide to roulette
Roulette is an extremely simple game to pick up, the best way to do it is often just to play it and learn as you go. The concept itself is simple, there is a wheel and a betting surface with which the game is played. The wheel is flat against the table and is used to randomly generate a number from 0 to 36 (in the European and French versions), to do this the wheel is spun and a small metallic ball is spun in the opposite direction along a small groove within the wheel. Eventually the wheel and ball will come to a stop and the ball will come to rest in one of 37 numbered pockets.
When betting on roulette you are betting on it to land on a certain number or group of numbers. The layout or betting surface is where you will do all of your betting. The felt lined table featured a design (which varies depending on the version) containing all the numbers and other betting options, to bet you simply place a chip or a number of chips on the desired area.
There are a wide variation of bets that you can place when playing roulette, so to help you understand as many of them as possible we have created a betting guide that you can read through below.
Types of bets
As stated previously there are many types of roulette bets within the game. We'll go into all of them in detail, but they are all split into 3 types: Inside Bets, Outside Bets and the more exotic Call Bets. Betting on the inside bets has a low probability of winning compared to the outside, but the payout is much larger. The outside bets are the opposite and have a high probability, but a much lower payout.
There are exactly six different types of inside bet when playing roulette: Straight up which means to bet on an individual number, Split which is when you split the bet over two numbers that are next to each other, the Corner of Square bet which means to place a chip on a corner which spreads the bet over four numbers, a street bet allows you to place a bet on all three numbers in a single line, a trio bet would allow you to place a split bet on either 0,1 and 2 or 0, 2 and 3 and finally we have the Six Line bet which allows you to bet on two adjacent horizontal lines.
There are also 6 different outside bets including Red or Black, Even or Odd, the numbers 1 to 18, the numbers 1 to 36, dozen bets in which you bet on a one third section of the numbers and column bets that allow you to bet on an entire vertical column of numbers.
Roulette is a game that is rich in history that has few equals when it comes to generating adrenaline. Good luck on the tables, and please play responsibly.

Each review submitted enters you into a $100 gift card monthly drawing, and a $500 gift card quarterly drawing!
Comments On Aug 18, 2014:works perfectly. the only issue I have with this ramp is that the plastic covers in the aluminum tubing sometimes fall out. make sure they are still in your ramp before you leave the track!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 22, 2011:I've had a couple of these (not because I've broken them or worn them out, but because I've sold them) and have never found a ramp that works any better. Wide enough to be stable, but folds up compact enough to store and haul easily.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 06, 2010:I bought the Fly Racing Runway ramp because I needed a ramp to fit in my short bed pickup, but wanted the ease of loading you get from a long ramp.
It turned out to be a great buy! The build quality is very high on it, although the plastic endcaps try to fall out if you don't glue them in. My rubber tailgate grabber is also coming off a little. But overall it's great!
It's fairly light, easy to fold up and store, and feels very sturdy.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 05, 2010:Light, strong, and easy to store in the cab of my truck. The long length makes it less of a chore to get my bike in and out of my 4x4 bed. I've used a homemade ramp for years and wish I had bought this Fly ramp sooner. Worth every penney.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 28, 2008:This ramp is very nice if your truck is high off the ground, makes life much easier compared to the shorter ramps, and if your truck isn't high than loading your bike is a breeze. It's also strong, durable and fits nicely in your bed.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 26, 2007:Light weight and works great. silicone the plastic bottom caps in though if you want to keep them. They don't serve any real purose, just there for looks.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 22, 2007:Really exicited when I received my new ramp,light weight, folds up real nice, but the second time out the rubber pad that secures to the tail gate fell off. Next use the plastic feet that secure it to the ground fell out. I glued the parts back on so I think I'll get some years out of it.
