The growth in urban areas is due to the government paying women to have illegitimate kids.It has nothing to do with what goes on outside those boundaries. Urban America has little or no self funding apparatus,outside of corporate skyscrapers and corner restaurants, so they keep robbing suburbanites to finance their worry free lifestyles.Food supplies are already under threat from the ethanol obsession and gov´t subsidies which make that farming more lucrative than produce industry.Rural birthrates are down because most of those people have to pay for their own kids.The urban growth rates have been boosted by illegal aliens not the usual suspects living in the city whose rates are flat lined.

UN Agenda 21---forced urbanization to save the sustainability of the planet. A worldwide plan to move the masses into the cities and then expand housing vertically instead of horizontally.

You know what? Living in rural America is harsh. Snowstorms, tornadoes, and electrical outages are common. And, it´s very expensive. There are few apartment complexes which wrap together many utilities and services into your rent. There´s no gov´t. subsidized transportation.Farmers demand low property taxes, meaning there´s usually substandard schools, teachers, administrators, cops, roads, parks, etc. They block every new public good proposed. Good doctors and lawyers don´t want to live there, as the low pay creates an unacceptably low return-on-investment. Firemen and EMTs are partially-trained volunteers.A high concentration of religious people who actually walk-the-walk expect their neighbors to behave with good morals, and provide the public shame upon those who don´t in big heaping helpings. There´s no work, welfare support is discouraged, many people live far below the poverty levels of their urban counterparts.If you´re not a farmer, there are few cultural events or the arts, outside of county fairs and tractor pulls. The landscape is dull, unless you enjoy looking at the ugly, useless wind farms. No mountains, no beaches, few lakes.Yes, it´s true, farmers are the salt of the Earth and we all need to eat. But, let´s not kid ourselves. Rural living is no picnic. Even the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas had cities. There must be something humans like about them.* Disclaimer: I live in a rural area. Click Here if you Like this Comment

What he is saying vote democrat like farmers used to do. The supermarkets in those urban areas that vote democrat would run out of food in three days and the gangs will take what little is left. Those same urbanites who love Obama and I routinely see threatening Red State America have NO clue how vulnerable they are on the Survival ladder of life, no guns, dependent on Red State for Food, Energy, Mining and all the other natural resources, and many military veterans. The south was overcome by Northern Population and Industrial base, that is not true today. Obama is trying to goad us into something and he ain´t even been Inaugurated yet.

I am not sure where #8 lives but in my slice of heaven, waaaaaaay out in the middle of no where. The stars shine bright, taking a big deep breath of fresh air. Power outages? Generator or better yet just go off grid and do your own. Neighbors are neighborly and our volunteer fire dept is first rate trained by the Texas A&M Fire School..paid for by those of us here in the county who use their services. And yes rural America does matter because we are the ones who value and believe in the freedom , liberty and Constitution. We aren´t easy brainwashed and packed into the cities like cattle in a rail car. We will fight for what we believe in and yes we do cling to our bibles and our guns. We say yes sir and no sir, yes ma´am and no ma´am and mean it sincerely. We say grace, we know the Pledge by heart and know to put our hand over our heart when saying it. We are America, it´s foundation, it´s very heart. And this rancher doesn´t take anything from the federal govt except the crap it shoves at us. No hand outs, no subsidies...you will find most of that goes to big farm, big food and big pockets in Congress. Click Here if you Like this Comment
I think #8 needs to move. I wouldn´t live in a city if you payed me. We have better access to health care, better (less congested) roads, less crime, and a hell of a lot more guns. #14 s right.

- It was found that height was reduced in children with spastic quadriplegia but was maintained in the normal range in children with diplegia and hemiplegia.

Yellowstone National Park bison
1:36 pm
Tue January 14, 2014
Remote vaccination of bison not likely for Yellowstone Park herd
Yellowstone National Park administrators say shooting wild bison with vaccine-laced "biobullets" to prevent the spread of an animal disease would be too ineffective to justify the expense.
Today's announcement means a program that's led to the periodic capture and slaughter of thousands of migrating bison will continue.
About half of Yellowstone's 4,600 bison test positive for Brucellosis, which causes pregnant animals to prematurely abort their young.
Edward O'Brien has more with Yellowstone Park spokesman, Al Nash, on the history of this "remote vaccination" concept.

Polaybook 32GB $118 at Staples
Just bought 3. Good luck to get one. Online was sold out but store had 30.
Bought two as well, but was able to buy them well in advance, as of Wednesday night. Was that a bug, I don't know, but I received them through mail delivery today!! Replaces my two broken screen playbook!
I managed to pick up a second Playbook (32G) @ $118.99; not sure why, and still debating returning it. My 64G suits my needs. I was thinking it would be useful for video chatting with the wife, but I'm not sure how much she cares about having the PB, and I know she wouldn't carry it with her anywhere. She did recently ask me about using it for storing photos, but I suspect that was a veiled hint at a Christmas iPad (she's a Mac person).
I don't see any benefit to the keyboard case myself, even at $69. Especially when the Staples guy handed me the box…it's got a bit too much "heft" for my tastes. But I'm kicking myself for not getting a second rapid charger/dock at 70% off. - 11-23-2012, 05:14 PM Thread Author #4
Bought another to video chat with girlfriend plus of course all the other benefits. Happy for you guys. Don't forget you can video chat with bunch of other people too all over the world for free.
For anyone in Edmonton, apparently the downtown Staples still has a few of the 32G Playbooks kicking around. Also, the keyboard, but no journal case or rapid charger.
Edit: thats as of 4:10 MST.Last edited by litig8or98; 11-23-2012 at 05:17 PM. Reason: Update time
Damn, for that price I'm tempted to jump on another one. But these fire-sale prices have me wondering if maybe there are new models with upgraded hardware waiting in the wings and it they're just cleaning out old stock...?
Be bold. Be pantless. Then go take a nice long nap. - 11-23-2012, 07:24 PM #8
Not available in the US...lucky Canucks!

Updated August 29, 2013 at 5:10 PM CST: First degree murder charges are filed for a man accused of causing a deadly crash while fleeing an attempted bank robbery.
Francis Dishmon, 51, of Tulsa, Oklahoma was arrested in Ottawa County on Thursday afternoon.
Read the court documents filed August 29
Authorities say he had tried unsuccessfully to rob the IBC Bank in Miamuh on Thursday morning, then fled north out of town on U.S. Highway 69 at speeds of more than 100 miles an hour.
They say he caused a semi-truck and another vehicle to run off the road.
The murder charge is for the death of the truck driver killed in the crash. That driver has been identified as James Wivell, 48 of Longmont, Colorado.
After the crash, Dishmon left his car and investigators found him hiding nearby.
Dishmon has not yet been charged with the attempted robbery in Miami.
An official with the FBI says as of right now federal charges will not be brought against Dishmon, but that could change.
Updated August 29, 2013 at 11:20 AM: Authorities have identified the driver of the tractor trailer killed in a crash in Wednesday's high speed chase.
James Carl Wivell, 48 of Longmount, Colorado, died when his vehicle was struck by a vehicle driven by Francis Harry Dishmon, 51 of Tulsa.
Dishmon faces charges of False Personation and 1st Degree Murder, and more may be filed.
Dishmon was scheduled to appear in court this morning.
Updated August 28, 2013 at 5:15 PM: Authorities arrest a suspect in Northeast Oklahoma following an attempted robbery, high speed chase and deadly crash. The series of events began this morning in Miami, Oklahoma, and ended near the Kansas state line.
Debris, flashing lights and the apprehension of a suspect wanted for homicide. This is how an attempted bank robbery ended in Ottawa County, Oklahoma on Wednesday.
"Well it was a little bit of a shock, we don't get a lot of bank robberies," said Thomas Anderson, Acting Chief of the Miami Police Department.
Miami P. D. say it all started sometime after 10am When Francis Harry Dishmon walked into an IBC bank in Miami and asked for money. Police say Dishmon likely got scared and left the scene, driving North on Highway 69-with no money in hand.
"There was no weapon brandished at all, he handed the teller a note," Anderson said.
It was on Highway 69 between Baxter Springs and Quapaw where authorities say Dishmon ran a semi-truck and second vehicle off of the highway while trying escape at speeds of 100 miles per hour. The driver of the semi-truck was killed.
"Well our first response is, since someone lost their life in this, were going to try to set up a perimeter and get the suspect apprehended," said Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Ben Bertram.
According to Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the suspect ran from his vehicle only about a hundred yards down a ditch on the side of Highway 69. He was able to cover himself in brush, and hide from police for about two hours.
"There was over brush, and he was covered up in that, we had to call for assistance of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol airplane and they were able to spot him from the air," Anderson said.
Hidden, but not long. Police found and arrested Dishmon around 12:20pm-about two hours after the whole ordeal began.
Updated August 28, 2013 at 3:55 PM: Authorities say the name of the suspect in today's bank robbery is Francis Harry Dishmon.
The identity of the truck driver killed in the crash following the robbery still has yet to be released.
Updated August 28, 2013 at 1:00 PM: One man is dead after an attempted bank robber crashed into another vehicle, killing the other driver. The suspect is in custody and the incident is now being considered a homicide investigation.
Authorities say there was an attempted bank robbery this morning at IBC Bank in Miami, Oklahoma. The suspect fled, traveling north along U.S. Highway 69, leading to a crash between Quapaw and Baxter Springs, Kansas.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol confirms one death - a semi-truck driver involved in the crash.
The suspect has been identified as Desmond Francis Francis Harry Dishmon and is in custody.
Updated August 28, 2013 at 12:35 PM: The Miami Police Department tells us the suspect, Desmond Francis, is in custody.
Updated August 28, 2013 at 12:25 PM: The suspect in the Miami, Oklahoma attempted bank robbery and homicide on Highway 69 between Quapaw and Baxter Springs is a black male with long dreadlocks, 5'8", he is wearing and a blue plaid shirt.
He was last seen on foot in the same area as the crash.
Information according to the Wyandotte Police Chief.

Eight of the protagonists recount the the story of the most thrilling Test ever, played exactly fifty years ago
Interviews by Brydon Coverdale
December 14, 2010
Fifty years ago today, the most famous Test match of all reached its remarkable conclusion. The tied Test between Australia and West Indies at the Gabba was played in an atmosphere of camaraderie, against the backdrop of Test cricket needing a boost after several dreary series that turned the crowds away. It was the first Test in a memorable series that featured attractive cricket from two teams, led by Richie Benaud and Frank Worrell. This week, some of the players involved looked back at the finest example of what Test cricket can offer.

The Frank Worrell Trophy
| West Indies
Lindsay Kline, Australian spinner I can remember the night before the Test match, there were three or four Aussies and three or four West Indians, we were in Garry Sobers' room playing calypso records. It was very special.
The convivial spirit continued on field, although Sobers' brisk 132 quickly gave West Indies the upper hand.
Colin McDonald, Australian opener On the first day we wondered if we'd ever win a match, because Sobers crucified us. It was brilliant batting. He made one of the greatest hundreds ever; I haven't seen a better one.
Kline I said to Garry years later, "that wonderful innings you played, that 130 was fantastic". And he said "Lindsay, it was 132". So it must have been pretty special to him, because he made a lot of hundreds.
Norm O'Neill made 181 in reply, and Alan Davidson took 11 wickets for the match, leaving Australia with a target of 233 when their second innings began early on the final day.
Richie Benaud, Australian captain When I walked through the gate and along the side of the pavilion to the dressing rooms I could see white flowers dotting the turf; clover flowers. It was obvious that the ground hadn't been mown this morning. I ask for a mowing but the curator tells me there was a heavy shower just after seven o'clock and he hasn't been able to get the mower on the ground... now he hasn't the time to do it. Short of getting the mower and doing it myself it seems that the grass will not be mown today. I don't s'pose it matters a great deal really, we'll only have a bit over 200 to make.
Quickly, Wes Hall reduced them to 6 for 92.
Alan Davidson, Australian allrounder Wes Hall bowled magnificently, when you consider that he had new boots that he hadn't been wearing, and he had these giant blisters on the bottom of his feet. He ended up putting this great slab of sticking plaster across the soles of his feet after he'd cut the blisters off. Really, it was just raw flesh, and he kept pouring in and bowling his heart out. That was one of the most sensational things I've ever seen on a cricket field. He must have been going through agony.
Neil Harvey, Australian batsman Alan McGilvray left on the four o'clock plane to go home to Sydney. He was our doyen of broadcasters at the time. He said "well, the game's over, I'm going home". And he went. And he didn't see the finish of it. He thought we had lost it. But the game's never over until the last ball.
Davidson and Benaud then began a wonderful fightback, taking Australia to within seven runs of victory in the second-last over, with Wally Grout, Ian Meckiff and Kline still to bat.
Davidson I went in at 5 for 57 in the second dig and it wasn't a position you'd hope to go in on, but I used to love those situations. It's the challenge that goes with those sort of situations.
Ian Meckiff, Australian fast bowler Richie and Davo more or less played it as one-day cricket. It wasn't as if they were just taking their time. They were taking cheeky singles and all that sort of thing. It was a very nervous couple of hours.
"As boys we'd try to throw at the mangoes to get them down from the trees. I believe all that came in to make me a good pitcher" Joe Solomon on his match-deciding run-outs | |||
Gerry Alexander, West Indian wicketkeeper We were struggling. The match more or less appeared to have slipped out of the control of the West Indies.
Meckiff Wally Grout, who was the next man in, chain-smoked all the way through it. He was a nervous wreck. He was the worst of all of us, because he was the man who had to do the job. Lindsay and I were tailenders, whereas Wally at least could play a bit.
Davidson I thought we had the game sewn up. I'd spoken to Richie with two overs to go. It was tip and run, and I said "we don't have to do anything silly, just make sure that I'm down there to face Wes", because I reckoned Wes would bounce me once - well, that was either a four or a six, and we only wanted seven. Then of course Richie played the first three or four [off Sobers] and then hit it straight to Joe Solomon and took off. If I'd have been Usain Bolt I wouldn't have made my ground.
Solomon threw down the stumps from midwicket; Davidson was out for 80. The new batsman was Grout.
Davidson It was impulse. We had been playing that sort of cricket. We'd been hitting it and taking off, and we had a few overthrows from wild throws and the pressure was building all the time. That's where Frank Worrell did a terrific job in pacifying some of the more excitable players in the West Indian side.
Joe Solomon, West Indian batsman Back home in Guyana, I used to hit the stumps regularly. That was regular practice that we did, we'd have a bet on who could hit the wickets down. And as boys we'd try to throw at the mangoes to get them down from the trees. I believe all that came in to make me a good pitcher.
Davidson Wally Grout had to come in and he didn't know where his gloves were. They were in the top of his pads and of course the moment he stood up, they went back in against his thighs and so he couldn't find them. When I got back inside, I wouldn't have said they were the calmest in the world.
With one eight-ball over to go, Australia needed six runs to win. Wes Hall struck Grout with the first delivery, which produced a leg-bye.
Benaud Wally was struck in the solar plexus, a crippling blow, and the ball fell at his feet. It had hardly hit the ground before I was on my way without calling. Wally saw me coming and made off down the pitch holding his stomach... an agonising single to be sure.
The next ball was a bouncer, despite Worrell's instructions to Hall not to bowl short.
Benaud Surely no one in his right mind would bowl a bumper at that stage of the match... but it was a bumper delivered with every bit of speed and power the big fella could muster. I tried to hook... trying for the four runs that would have all but won the game. The only result was a sharp touch on the gloves and Gerry Alexander's victory shout as he caught me. Have you ever tried so hard to do something... concentrated so desperately that everything else was pushed out of your mind... and then seen it disappear in a fraction of a second? Then you'll have some idea of how I felt as I passed Grout at the other end and said: "All yours Wal..." He merely lifted his eyes and muttered: "Thanks very much!"
Kline The previous over, I said to Colin McDonald, "I won't have to go in, will I?" He said, "No, I don't think so". Then we lost those wickets and I'm trying to pad up, and I couldn't find my gloves, I'm looking in my bag. I was sitting on them. It got to me a bit, I got pretty nervous, that's for sure.
Meckiff played the third ball, then missed an attempted slog from the fourth. Grout took a daring bye, Alexander under-armed to Hall, who missed the stumps with a throw that would have run Meckiff out. Next ball, Grout was dropped when he scooped high to square leg, where Rohan Kanhai and Hall converged; the bowler dropped the catch. Three to win with three balls left.
Meckiff I was just trying to get bat on ball. It was a little bit short and I just had a slog at it. Wesley even said during the 40th reunion, when he looked at it again he was surprised how good a shot it was. I didn't tell him what I felt - it was just shut-the-eyes-and-slog.
McDonald The curator had neglected to cut the grass that day, so the ball that Meckiff hit that was a certain boundary, got into the long grass three or four yards from the fence, and just stopped. It was long grass - a certain four - but it didn't make it, and the third run was a run-out. That third run would have been enough to win the match.
Benaud Of all the minor miracles that took place on this day I give pride of place to this one. Hunte was about eighty yards from the stumps when he picked up, turned and threw in one action. I couldn't see the ball... all I could see was the blurred throwing action to my right and the batsmen running for three. For Grout to be run out the ball had to go directly to Alexander... not to the right or left but directly to him... thrown on the turn and from eighty yards. It was a magnificent throw and as Alexander swept the bails from the stumps Grout was hurling himself towards the crease... but still a foot out of his ground.
Scores were level with two balls remaining and the No.11, Kline, came out to bat.
Alexander I remember somebody asking "what's the score, how many have they got?" and I remember screaming at them "they have no more to get!", which was a sort of cockeyed appreciation that at that time the scores were drawn.
Kline I walked out and walked past Frank Worrell and he said to me, "I wouldn't be in your shoes for all the tea in China". Then he also said, "you look a little pale". I felt it.
Solomon The captain said to everyone "be alert, because there's only one run to win". He told Wes Hall to be careful not to bowl a no-ball.
Kline Ian Meckiff was the other batsman and I said to him "we're going to run on this ball no matter where it goes". Wes was bowling and I was standing there thinking, "come on, hurry up, let's get this over and done with". And he bowled it on the stumps, I got the bat to it and it went round the corner to square leg, and Joe Solomon picked it up and threw the stumps down side-on.
"At the end of the day's play Frank got his team together and Richie got his, and the dining room had these long tables, and we had a West Indian and an Australian, a West Indian and an Australian, all the way around that table" Alan Davidson on the camaraderie and affection that continues to exist between the rivals | |||
After the last ball, there was some confusion about the result, for it was the first tie in 83 years of Test cricket.
Meckiff I wasn't even thinking of a tie. I thought we needed 233 to win, so 232 didn't mean anything to me at that stage.
Kline I'm running for a win and Ian's running for a tie. But I can understand it, we didn't have electronic scoreboards or anything, flashing up "one run to win" or anything like that. I thought he knew, and I thought I knew.
Alexander We were coming off the field a little bit concerned. We knew we hadn't won, but at the same time we knew we hadn't lost. It was a little difficult at the time to appreciate things in perspective.
Don Bradman had encouraged the teams to play attractive cricket before the series, with Test cricket in desperate need of reinvigoration.
Davidson The Don came in at the end of the day and he said, "Don't be disappointed, Alan. Today you've made history". It hit us at that time, but it was more profound the next morning. That was what made the whole series.
Meckiff Colin McDonald came up to me in the rooms and said, "what are you looking so downcast about?" I said, "we've lost haven't we?" And he said, "no, it's a tie". Then it became a big celebration.
Alexander Everyone was going around and if somebody had made, say, 10 instead of 11, they started boasting and said what a good thing I got out. It really threw both the sides together. The two sides got along so much better after that.
McDonald I thought, well, there's never been a better cricket match and the fact that it's a tie means that it's going to be there forever. And it has been. There was another tie played, but it doesn't have the same recall of our tied Test match. When you talk about the tied Test match, it's usually ours.
Harvey I thought once we got two ties, everybody would forget about the first one. But I think it's because it was such a great series. The tied Test was remembered as such because it was the series that got the crowds back to cricket.
Davidson We played our hearts out against each other. If I meet a West Indian that played in that series now, we don't shake hands, we just go into a bear hug. When you think about that, and that it's 50 years on, it is an incredible feeling.

Somehow, last week in New York, it seemed so much less newsworthy. After all, isn't it the city that loves a sheath dress like no other, preferably in some glorious hue, and richly embellished; the kind of dress that calls for heels, jewels, and, should it be during the chillier months, a precise coat or a swathe of fur? Yet when London's idea of fall has been awash with those very dresses, often worn that very way—from the likes of Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Erdem, Mary Katrantzou, among others—it makes you sit up and notice. On the one hand, it is, of course, part of the cyclical nature of fashion. London has been so recently enamored of techno/fluorescent colors, digitalized prints, and a certain urban athleticism, goodness knows the dial had to turn at some point and point in a new direction. On the other, the appearance of that most iconic of markers of grown-up dressing is also representative of the recalibration that is going on among London's young designers. They're aspiring to make their clothes beautifully, to offer more nuanced ideas of luxury that don't rely on branding to imbue them with desirability, and be able to stand on the world stage. And you know what? They are.
Part of that band should include Roksanda Ilincic. Except, the truth is, that even when London was at its craziest and most chaotic, Ilincic was turning out charmingly pretty cocktail dresses; the equivalent of a principessa on the dance floor of Ponystep. The reason being that she has always made clothes for her; the best model to wear Roksanda Ilincic is always the willowy and beautiful Ilincic herself. Her look for autumn is then right in sync with what's been happening elsewhere in London. Ilincic's long, lean line was transformed by the use of color blocking, mixing the now omnipresent claret and deep purple with the likes of kingfisher blue and camel, or practicing fashion's new idea of reverse psychology—it's been a week where what a dress/coat/skirt looks like from the front rarely bears any resemblance to what's happening at the back. She too made use of fur, placing fox around the neck and shoulders like a sporty hood, a witty update on that fusty old 1950s idea of a stole. (The fox that trimmed the hem of a broadtail pencil skirt didn't quite come off, however; that was simply a pelt too far.) Yet one thing distinctly locates Ilincic in London. Her take on ladylike dressing doesn't mean carrying stately purses, but squashy, sporty drawstring bags. They did, however, coordinate perfectly with the clothes.

How Much Would It Cost To Legalize Medical Marijuana In Florida?
The state is starting the process of figuring out how much it would cost to legalize medical marijuana. Private groups are gathering petition signatures to put a proposed constitutional amendment on next year's ballot.
All citizen initiatives that propose changes to the Constitution must undergo a financial review.
Economists for the Florida Legislature will spend the next few weeks running the numbers.
Vesselka McAlarney with the Office of Demographic and Economic Research looked at data from other states that have legalized the drug.
"Using their experience, we applied it to Florida's population. And we estimate that there may be anywhere between 450 medical marijuana users to 400,000 medical marijuana users."
Chief economist Amy Baker says they'll consider details like the cost of putting together a patient registry and regulating marijuana treatment centers.
"Whether it's a good or bad policy decision we wouldn't consider. Any information on what it's doing to society in general, we wouldn't consider. So we have a very, very limited focus."
A preliminary analysis suggests the Department of Health would spend just over $700,000 dollars a year to carry out the amendment. Other agencies will likely be impacted as well, like the Department of Agriculture and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The committee will prepare a financial statement that voters can read if the proposal makes it onto the ballot next year.

According to a recent incentive trends survey conducted by Corporate Meetings & Incentives (sister magazine to Financial & Insurance Meetings), budgets and per-person spending are up, while group size is shrinking.
Fifty-six percent of the respondents — 147 senior-level executives who have decision-making responsibilities for their companies' incentive programs — increased their incentive budgets last year, and 44 percent expect their budgets will be higher in 2007 than they were in 2006.
Per-person budgets grew 9 percent from 2005 to 2006, with companies spending an average of $3,400. Nearly one-quarter of survey respondents reported per-person budgets of $5,000 or more; just 15 percent spent less than $2,000.
The biggest shift, however, was in group size: An average of 108 people qualified for respondents' most recent major group travel incentive, fewer than half the number reported in last year's survey. It appears that companies are cutting the size of their groups while maintaining the quality of the incentive experience: Thirty-seven percent reported reducing the number of qualifiers when budgets shrink.
As for destinations, warm weather locales in the U.S., such as Hawaii and Florida, remain favorites. A full 72 percent of respondents also use offshore destinations annually or biannually. Central and South America joined the list of popular international incentive choices, most likely due in part to the huge popularity of Costa Rica among winners.
The survey also asked about the growing influence of procurement, strategic meeting management, and Sarbanes-Oxley — and found all three are clearly beginning to shape site decisions. One-third of respondents said their jobs have been affected by Sarbanes-Oxley, and 20 percent now must go through their directors of procurement when making incentive destination decisions. Most significant, half of all respondents now have a strategic meeting management professional in place to govern hotel site selection and to maximize spend.

Rick Ross is laughing in the face of mortal danger -- stepping out in L.A. Thursday with a big smile and a fat cigar ... oblivious to the fact that someone may be trying to kill him.
You may recall ... Ross crashed his Rolls-Royce in Ft. Lauderdale January 28 after someone fired dozens of shots at his car.
Ross and his passenger weren't hurt -- but it's pretty obvious someone's got it out for him ... possibly a gang.
When we shot this video of Ross leaving a Bev Hills restaurant ... he made it very clear he has no fear.
It's the first time Ross has been seen out in public since the day of the shooting.
Of course he's not scared. The whole thing was a PR stunt. It's either that, or these people were the worst drive-by shooters in the history of drive-by shooters. They pulled up right next to them, and shot everything in site - except for the car right next to them, or the occupants. Nigro please.
Of course you aren't scared because this is all an act. Seriously Vince McMahon should give Ross a call and get him a spot in the WWE.
TMZ you really need to get a Life. The man was having a CIGAR. How do you EQUATE that with Non-Fear? What is he suppose to do lay in bed eating ice all day?? It's lying @ss reports like this that start wars. Stop trying to prosper off of the LIVES of OTHERS. Your reporters are nothing but NERDS.
"...he made it very clear he has no fear."
Um ... not exactly, TMZ. What's clear is he didn't want to be bothered AND he had a bunch of huge security guards surrounding him.
If the attempt on his life was real, then this article titled, "I'm Not Scared Of People Gunning for Me" (which he clearly never said), is only going to piss off the 'shooter(s). STAY OUT OF IT TMZ.

A suspected terrorist has gone missing, police say.
Ibrahim Magag, 28, absconded from a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (Tpims) notice after failing to meet his overnight residence condition on Boxing Day.
He was last seen in the Camden area of north London on the same day at 5.20pm.
A Met spokesman said: "The Counter Terrorism Command immediately launched inquiries to trace the man and these continue. Public safety remains our priority.
"At the request of the police an anonymity order imposed by a court was lifted today to allow a public appeal.
"Anyone who sees this man or knows of his whereabouts should not approach him, but call 999 immediately."
He added: "Ibrahim Magag is not considered at this time to represent a direct threat to the British public."
Magag is described as a black man of Somali origin, 6ft 2in and of slim to medium build. He has a beard, but detectives warned he may try to change his appearance.
He was last seen wearing a khaki robe, a black Berghaus windcheater and navy Converse trainers.
Security Minister James Brokenshire said: "National security is the Government's top priority and the police are doing everything in their power to apprehend this man as quickly as possible."

Going into the United dressing room on a matchday, how good is it to see the kit lined up?
As long as your name's in there you're happy. You don't want to go in there and see everybody else's shirt and yours is still in the bag! I just think back to when I was a kid and I always dreamed about wearing certain kits. I dreamt of wearing the England kit and the England kit was the first one I ever owned. My uncle bought it for me – the red one. To be honest, though, I'm still like a kid when I see a new kit. You want to feel it, you want to see how the socks fit, the smell, the texture... I don't think you ever lose that.
On a matchday do you have any routines you follow?
Have you not seen them?
Well, I'm usually too busy doing my own thing.
Mine change over the years. If I'm playing well then I'll continue to do certain things. If I've had a beast then I'll change a few things. One thing I do is I always splash water on my face in the tunnel.
I've seen that, to be fair.
And as soon as I go over the line to go out onto the pitch I jump in the air. And then I run over to the corner flag. The list goes on and on... I have certain foods I eat too.
If you miss something out, does it play on your mind?
I try not to let it. It used to when I was younger but I try not to let it now. I just get through it and carry on. I don't let it weigh me down.

Until recently, the landscape for big office-tower deals was an arid one, and between late 2008 and late 2012, only one full sale of a building in the U.S.—Google's headquarters at 111 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan—topped $1 billion, according to Real Capital Analytics.
But now big office-building sales, it seems, are in vogue.
On Friday, two foreign investors bought a 40% stake in the General Motors Building, a 50-story Manhattan icon that is now valued at $3.4 billion, making it likely the most valuable office building in the country. On the same day, Crown Acquisitions and Highgate Holdings reached a deal to pay $1.3 billion for 650 Madison Ave., a block north of the GM Building. Also last week, Boston Properties and its partners sold 125 W. 55th Street—a more than 550,000-square-foot tower—according to CBRE Group Inc., which brokered that sale as well as that of the GM Building.
More deals are in the works.

A new version of my Sheriarty art for Valentine's Day, beautified by my friend:)
[Sheriarty(Jimlock) AU Fanvid]For Blue Skies
The inspiration comes from the book "The Seven-Per-Cent Solution". In this book, Sherlock Holmes invented his arch-enemy James Moriarty because of illusion linked to drugs. Yet in the real life, James Moriarty is only an ordinary professor, not a criminal.
So, in this fanvid, Jim is not a criminal. Jim met Sherlock when they were young, and then Jim moved to another city. Sherlock can't forget Jim, this obsessiveness changed to an illusion: Sherlock thought that Jim Moriarty is his arch-enemy. In his mind, Moriarty is an evil, and he can't recognize Jim now.
Jim wanted to save Sherlock. He thought that only if Sherlock kills Moriarty, the illusion can be eliminate. So, Jim decided to act Moriarty, to act the criminal.
Jim asked for John and Mycroft's help. And he also asked his dad and grandma's help.
All the cases are not real.
John wanted Sherlock to know, there's no arch-enemy in real life, but Sherlock didn't listen.
Mycroft wanted Jim to stop this dangerous game. But Jim said that he only wants Sherlock back.
Jim did everything for Sherlock. But Sherlock told him: I hate you.
Yet, all the memory was back after Jim shooted himself. Sherlock is very regretful, he said "Forgive me, Forgive me", yet Jim can't listen to him now.
In the end. Sherlock jumped out of the roof.

[Sheriarty(Jimlock) fanvid]Honey, happy birthday!
A fanvid for Sherlock's birthday. A really short video. Jim celebrated Sherlock's birthday for him.
Happy birthday to my dear dear Sherlock Holmes!
Source: for-edenJim loved the days where Sherlock is bored and lazy, refusing to leave his apartment and is even less motivated to put on some pants. Jim is greeted by the sight of Sherlock in a cocoon of bed sheets, the pleats bundled up around detective's body. The consulting criminal would find his eyes…
My new Sheriarty fanvid "He was dead". This is a sad AU story.
The song's name is "July 14", the day is China's "Spirit Festival".
Jim and Sherlock met each other when they were children, but before long Jim moved to another city. They loved each other, so when they met each other again, they fell in love again. But suddenly came the car accident. Jim was injured, yet Sherlock was dead.
Jim attended Sherlock's funeral. He will never, never forget Sherlock.
Young Jim and young Sherlock are both played by Asa Butterfield.
My new Sheriarty fanvid: [Sheriarty(Jimlock) fanvid]You will not end well——Irene Adler's Curse
I chose a Cantonese BGM, and I think I have to explain the meaning of it, or the fanvid may not be understood well.
The meaning of the lyrics: It's about a woman's curse, to the man who ever hurt her, who ever dumped her. She cursed that he will not end well. She believed that he will meet someone who he loves deeply, who he treasures best, and who will hurt him, dump him, deceive him, and treat him as worthless.
In this fanvid, the woman is Irene Adler. She was hurt by Sherlock Holmes, and hope that someday he will be hurt by Jim Moriarty.
But the fanvid has a happy ending:)

Four years ago, it made national news when a 25-year-old man walked into the Checotah Walmart and shot and killed himself in the electronics aisle.
As is often the case, we didn't get to hear the story behind the headline or what led up to that moment.
But that young man's mother has written a book about her son, his very public death and her life since that day.
Mikey was born a happy, healthy little boy, but soon started showing differences from his older sister. He didn't want to be held, didn't want to sleep, and he was fascinated with repetitive motion.
When he was 3 years old, he was diagnosed with autism. While his mother was relieved to have answers, it was also a challenge.
"He was very destructive, very hyperactive, but you could tell, it was never malicious," Diane Bucci said.
At age 7, he was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome.
Bucci chose to face it all with a sense of humor and started writing down some of the stories and funny moments, hoping to share an inspirational and light-hearted book with other parents of autistic kids.
"When he hit junior high, it was a tough age because he was finally becoming more aware of himself and his differences," Bucci said.
She says he loved high school, then got a degree in gunsmithing, got a driver's license and even had his first girlfriend.
He was working in OKC four days a week and working on the family farm in Checotah the other three.
"He really blossomed," Bucci said.
But he became worried he was dying, even after a doctor said he was fine. He began dieting and wasn't sleeping well.
In November 2008, Mikey walked into the Checotah Walmart and killed himself.
"That was the worst day of my life," Bucci said.
He left a note saying he was dying, that demons were trying to kill him and they lived in Walmart. Bucci says Mikey was delusional.
Eventually, she decided to finish her book to tell Mikey's entire story and the first message is don't judge those who are different.
"That's the beautiful thing about people with autism," Bucci said. "They don't have an ego, and he taught us how to really love unconditionally."
The second message, is there is life after death, not only for the living, but, she believes for those who have passed.
She says Mikey always said he would come back and play tricks on them after he died and she says a long string of funny coincidences since his death have made her a believer.
"I'm his voice," Bucci said. "That's what you are as a parent of any child, especially one with a handicap, you are always your child's voice, so I still am."
Bucci's book, "The Return of Mikey," was awarded the 2012 Irwin Award for Most Inspirational Book.
She says that's only fitting for Mikey's story, since he was voted most inspirational student in high school.
