News Release
Lt. Phil Crumpton Public Affairs Branch
(502) 782-1780
Kentucky State Police To Participate In Operation CARE Lifesaver Weekend
Date of Release: 12/15/04
(FRANKFORT, KY.) - The Kentucky State Police will be boosting its presence on the state´s roadways this weekend as part of Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) Lifesavers Weekend. This special traffic enforcement campaign, which begins at 12:01 am on Friday, December 17 and runs through 11:59 pm on Sunday, December 19, is part of a national program designed to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities caused by speeding, impaired driving and failure to use seat belts and child safety seats.
"Troopers will be actively patrolling the highways and operating traffic safety checkpoints statewide during this time period," notes Lt. Col Dean Hayes, director of the KSP Operations Division. "They will be aggressively enforcing traffic laws and using radar, video equipment and passive alcohol sensors to assist their efforts. They´ll also coordinate their activities with local police and sheriff´s offices for maximum effectiveness."
Motorists should keep the following points in mind when travelling throughout the holiday period:
- Kentucky has a zero tolerance policy regarding driving while impaired by alcohol. Operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 will result in an immediate arrest even for first time offenders.
- Kentucky law makes the driver responsible for assuring that all occupants in their vehicle are properly restrained. A citation may be issued only if a motorist is stopped for reasons other than violation of the seat belt law. However, no warnings will be issued to drivers found not wearing a safety belt as a secondary violation. They will receive a citation.
- According to Kentucky law, all children 40 inches in height or less, must be buckled into a child safety restraint seat that meets federal standards. Children over 40 inches tall must wear a seat belt. Violation of this law will result in a $50.00 fine with an additional $10.00 fine donated to the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund.
- Motorists should be aware that the back seat is the safest place for children to sit, especially in vehicles equipped with passenger-side air bags. Infants and toddlers should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger-side air bag. Parents should always be sure that their child´s safety seat has been properly installed in the vehicle according to the manufacturer´s instructions.
- Studies show that higher travel speeds are responsible for a significant increase in highway traffic deaths. Speeding reduces a driver's ability to steer safely around curves or objects in the roadway. It extends the distance required to stop a vehicle and increases the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a dangerous situation.
- Motorists should also remember that Kentucky law requires them to slow down and use caution when they see a law enforcement or emergency vehicle stopped alongside the road with its lights flashing. They must move over to the lane farthest away from the vehicle if they are on a four-lane road and can do so safely. Failure to do so can result in fines.
"In order to enjoy the holiday season, we urge motorists to act responsibly when operating a motor vehicle," says Hayes. "Slow down, buckle up and don´t drive while impaired. Following this advice will give drivers and their passengers a great advantage in surviving their travels whether it´s across town or across the state."

Applications on Symbian OS use four general kinds of class. These are:
- Value classes, or types, whose name begins with T. They do not own any external object, either directly (by pointer) or indirectly (by handle).
- Heap-allocated classes, whose name begins with C. All such classes are derived from class CBase.
- Resource classes, whose name begins with R. R objects are handles to a real resource which is maintained elsewhere.
- Interface classes, whose name begins with M. They define abstract protocol definitions that are implemented by derived classes.

George Myers, president and CEO of the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce, has come up with a powerful new program to help local businesses, as well as consumers looking for great deals – the GoMission Discount Card.
Myers said he is drawing on his retail experience in managing mall shopping centers by taking the mall discount card concept and improving on it in several ways. One advantage of the GoMission Discount Card for shoppers is the large pool of retailers and other businesses participating in the program. The chamber has already enrolled nearly 60 businesses in GoMission and more are being added each week as the new program grows.
The Mission Chamber has incorporated the latest tools to make the program easy for shoppers to use and for merchants to update their special offers. Last month, the chamber launched the GoMission Card website at gomissioncard.com. The website is user friendly, making it easy to look up or print out all the deals being offered by the participating businesses. There are dozens of special offers available to GoMission Cardholders.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WZDX) - A meeting got heated after a city council member stormed out, threatening legal action. It happened at Thursday night's Huntsville City Council meeting. It all came about over accusations about Councilman Will Culver.
A local radio host is accusing him of "double dipping", using a position on the council to move forward an expansion project from Calhoun Community College.
Jackson says a longtime member of the criminal justice staff's contract wasn't renewed in favor of hiring City Councilman Will Culver. Jackson says this is because Culver is on the council, and Calhoun Community College wanted to purchase land in the city of Huntsville. Culver says the accusations are completely untrue. He then walked out of the meeting, and threatened legal action.
"The slander that was in a paper that he printed, I let that slide, and now he comes into this forum and wants to bring up things that he knows are not true. It saddens me. And this is not the place for it," said Councilman Will Culver, in an interview after he left.
"If Culver wants to threaten a lawsuit against me, go right ahead. He's a public figure. I am bringing to him accusations that I had brought to me. I've called him numerous times and tried to get him on the record. This was the only way I could get any conversation, and you saw the minute it happened, he packed up his desk and he walked out," responded Dale Jackson after he left the meeting.
Councilman Culver resigned his position at Calhoun Community College back in 2012.
After the commotion at the council, Mayor Tommy Battle presented his budget for next year. Next year's budget calls for a modest increase, about two and a half percent over this year's budget. Mayor Battle says that's because of increased costs for personnel, including things like salaries, health care, and fuel costs for cars. The mayor says that after federal cuts and past years that were tough, this year is all about balancing the budget.
"We're again doing what we've done in the past, making sure that we are very conservative in our budgeting. We'll move through this budget process and make sure that revenues equal expenditures so again we can have a balanced budget," says Mayor Tommy Battle.
Thursday night's meeting was only an introduction for the budget. The council will vote on the measure sometime before October 1st.

Rendezvous makes his first start on synthetic in almost a year when he runs in Saturday's Grade II $150,000 San Fernando Stakes for 4-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.
The son of 1998 Belmont Stakes winner Victory Gallop is coming off five straight turf races, his most recent last Nov. 7, when he finished eighth in the Oak Tree Derby.
"He was never off the board on the grass until he ran twice at Santa Anita, and he didn't hit the board in either one," said Dan Ward, assistant to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. "Either he didn't like this course, or he was at the end of a tough summer. He traveled from the Triple Crown trail and then ran three races at Del Mar. Maybe we needed to stop on him and freshen him up.
"But, he's two for three with one third on synthetic (on Golden Gate's Tapeta), and the third was against Chocolate Candy."
The field for the San Fernando, second leg of the Strub series: Smart Bid, Mike Smith; Viscount, Garrett Gomez; Rendezvous, Rafael Bejarano; Papa Clem, Tyler Baze; Mr. Hot Stuff, Joe Talamo; Mythical Power, Joel Rosario; Gallant Son, Alex Solis; and Quindici Man, Victor Espinoza.
Domonation stretches out to one mile in Saturday's Grade III $100,000 San Rafael Stakes. Trainer John Sadler is encouraged by the late kick the gray son of Maria's Mon has displayed in his four previous races, all sprints.
"I think he's going to like it," Sadler said. "He's a good finisher in all his races. We're looking forward to it. I got a nice seven-furlong work in him, so it's time to find out."
The field for the San Rafael, which goes as race No. 3 on a nine-race card: Cardiff Giant, Victor Espinoza; Domonation, Joel Rosario; Conveyance, Garrett Gomez; Lucky Rave, Alex Solis; and Via Verde, Rafael Bejarano.
East Coast-based trainer Ken McPeek is testing the waters at Santa Anita this winter with a string of stakes-caliber horses, two of which are scheduled to run in Sunday's Grade II $150,000 El Encino Stakes for 4-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles.
One is Best Lass, a Pennsylvania-bred daughter of Werblin, who is a stakes winner at Prairie Meadows, and has a 4-3-0 record from 10 starts with earnings of $165,854.
The other is Dream Empress, a 4-year-old daughter of Bernstein, who was a distant fourth to Rachel Alexandra in the Golden Rod at Churchill Downs in November 2008, and a troubled second to champion Stardom Bound in the 2008 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita.
"They're coming up to the race great," said Jordan Blair, a 29-year-old Lexington, Ky. native, who is supervising the operation for McPeek at Santa Anita, where they have nine horses on hand. "Best Lass had a very sharp breeze last weekend. That was pretty impressive, because she did it without much urging. We tried to slow her down last week and she went in a minute and change (1:00.40). She came out of it good. She's sharp for this race.
"Dream Empress had a race over the track and that was off a layoff of eight months. She really wasn't into the race very much until the end. Garrett (Gomez) got into her, and it was nice, but it wasn't great, but we're going to put a set of blinkers on for the El Encino to try and keep her more involved in the race. This is the big test. If she can't handle this kind of company, they're probably going to retire her and breed her.
"She tailed off at the beginning of 2009, and we gave her a big, long break (April 9 to Dec. 28). It was nothing serious, and since she's come back, she looks good and she's training well. If she can get back in form, I think she'll be competitive."
The field for the El Encino: Rose Diamond, Joe Talamo, 115; Pretty Unusual, Chantal Sutherland, 119; Will O Way, Alonso Quinonez, 117; Dave's Revenge, Brice Blanc, 115; Eloquently, David Flores, 115; Gumption, Jose Valdivia Jr., 115; Stardom Bound, Mike Smith, 122; Dream Empress, Tyler Baze, 117; Justwhistledixie, Garrett Gomez,122; Gilded Gem, Victor Espinoza, 115; Spirit Seeker, Joel Rosario, 115; Best Lass, Alex Solis, 117; and Freedom Star, Martin Garcia, 115.
In other El Encino news:
Bill Mott hopes he's not whistling Dixie with Justwhistledixie. The 4-year-old Dixie Union filly has never run on synthetic, but makes her debut on the artificial surface in the El Encino. She worked five furlongs on Pro-Ride Sunday in 1:01.80.
"It's a bit of an experiment," said Mott, who has 12 horses on hand at Santa Anita. "I'll be flying back and forth from the East Coast for certain races at Santa Anita, but I've got a good assistant here in Leana Williford."
Whispering Hush returns to a seven-furlong race in Saturday's Grade II $150,000 Santa Ynez Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, and Eric Kruljac is hoping for better luck this time. The chestnut daughter of El Corredor finished a troubled third in the California Cup Juvenile Fillies at seven furlongs last Oct. 3.
"She had a ton of trouble in the race," Kruljac said. "I mean, monumental trouble. She steadied for way over a quarter of a mile, basically."
Whispering Hush was a maiden in the Cal Cup Juvenile Fillies, but won next out against non-winners on Oct. 31. She finished third in the Grade III Miesque at one mile on Hollywood Park's turf course Nov. 29.
Prime competition is expected from Aqueduct invader Franny Freud, winner of a New York-bred stakes by five lengths last out on Nov. 15, and She's Funomenal, two for two in 6 1/2-furlong events at Hollywood Park.
"That last one was pretty counterfeit,' Kruljac said, referring to She's Funomenal's win against only three rivals in a minor stakes at Hollywood Dec. 13. "That doesn't mean she might not be something special, but she's going to have to prove it. She might prove it in here. We'll see."
Victor Espinoza has ridden Whispering Hush in four of her five starts, but he rides Seriously for Bob Baffert in the Santa Ynez, so Kruljac has engaged Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith. "My filly wasn't 100 percent last time," Kruljac said. "Hopefully, it will be different this time."
Whispering Hush has a 1-1-2 record, with earnings of $69,760 for Wayne Seltzer and his son, Tyler, of Encinitas.
The field for the Santa Ynez, which goes as the fifth race on a nine-race program: Seriously, Espinoza; Franny Freud, Garrett Gomez; Whispering Hush, Smith; Amen Hallelujah, Chantal Sutherland; She's Funomenal, Joel Rosario; and Switch, Rafael Bejarano.
Horse of the Year 2009 will be announced Monday at the Eclipse Awards dinner in Beverly Hills, but the war of words as to which horse is most deserving, Rachel Alexandra or Zenyatta, goes on.
"They're both very deserving candidates," said Hall of Fame jockey and HRTV analyst Gary Stevens, who recently took out his trainer's license. "Unfortunately, there will only be one winner. If I had a vote, I'd vote for Zenyatta. They both did a lot for racing last year, but Zenyatta did something we'll never see again in our lifetime."
Added Bob Baffert, who celebrated his 57th birthday yesterday and who conditioned 2001 Horse of the Year Point Given: "I'd like to see Zenyatta win it, the way she ran in the Breeders' Cup. That race is set up to establish a champion, but they don't always vote that way. Midnight Lute was much the best when he won the Sprint in 2008 but he didn't get the championship, so voters don't always base it on that one race."
FINISH LINES: Doug O'Neill's goal for the recently retired Lava Man is to bring him back as a pony. Asked his best description of the rags-to-riches gelding who was claimed for $50,000 and went on to earn more than $5 million, the trainer said: "class and competitor." . . . Probable for the Grade II $150,000 San Marcos Stakes on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Aggie Engineer, Alex Solis; Dynamic Range, Victor Espinoza; High Court Drama, Michael Baze; Loup Breton, Garrett Gomez; Muhannak, Martin Pedroza; Obrigado, Joel Rosario; Quasicobra, Julien Leparoux; and Ridge Dance, Martin Garcia . . . Misremembered worked five furlongs on Pro-Ride Thursday in 1:00.60 for the Grade II $200,000 Strub Stakes on Feb. 6. "He's improving," trainer Bob Baffert said. "He's getting better and better." Sir Beaufort Stakes winner The Usual Q.T. worked six furlongs on Pro-Ride Thursday in 1:12.80 under Victor Espinoza. Trainer Jim Cassidy expects to run the son of Unusual Heat, who has won six races in a row--the last four stakes--in the $500,000 Sunshine Millions Classic on Pro-Ride on Jan. 30 . . . Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Desert Code worked four furlongs on Pro-Ride Tuesday in a bullet :46.60. "We'll get him ready, then find a race for him," trainer David Hofmans said . . . John Sadler plans February returns for well-regarded 3-year-olds Dave in Dixie and Sidney's Candy. Dave in Dixie, who rallied from 11th and last to be beaten 2 1/4 lengths in the Grade I Norfolk Stakes, went five furlongs on Pro-Ride Thursday in 1:01. Sidney's Candy, fourth as the 3-5 favorite after an eventful start on Dec. 30, went four furlongs Wednesday in :49.20 . . . Agent Brian Beach reports that Alex Solis has been selected for the Panamanian Hall of Fame and will be on hand in his native country Feb. 9 for induction ceremonies . . . Tomorrow is the second 'Free Friday' at Santa Anita this meet. Patrons will receive free General Admission as well as free box seats, while supplies last.

Top 10 Countries Using Solar PowerBy Matthew Wheeland - July 27, 2010
Below are the top ten countries using solar power in the world according to installed photovoltaic (PV) solar energy capacity. Think you know the order? You might be surprised…see if you can name all ten countries in the right order before continuing on.
1. Germany (9,785 MW)
Germany is clearly the world leader. In 2009 alone, Germany installed 3,806 megawatts (MW) of PV solar energy capacity, which is more than Spain's total capacity and almost eight times more than the U.S. installed last year. "The combination of a proven feed-in-tariff (FiT) scheme, good financing opportunities, a large availability of skilled PV companies, and a good public awareness of the PV technology, largely contributed to this success," European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) reports.
Germany is expected to remain the top purchaser of solar panels throughout 2010 and may add 5,000 MW of new solar power this year. The feed-in-tariff program will begin to cut incentives this year, and growth will eventually slow. Still, over the long term, Germany has a goal of using 100% renewable energy by 2050, so it is likely that Germany will remain a strong market for solar power.
2. Spain (3,386 MW)
Spain was the world leader in newly installed PV solar energy (2,605 MW) in 2008 due to the government's focus on creating a national solar energy industry, but its new installed capacity decreased tremendously (to just 69 MW) in 2009. The reasons for this drop are attributed to complexity and delays related to a new government subsidy program and a decrease in energy demand due to the economic crisis. With expectations that both of these will improve in 2010, and considering its excellent sun irradiation and PV potential, Spain is expected to bump up its solar energy capacity again this year.
3. Japan (2,633 MW)
Japan is third globally and also a country worth emulating. Government residential PV programs, net-metering, high national solar energy goals to reach 28 GW by 2020 and 53 GW by 2030, as well as the support of local authorities and the private sector make Japan a world leader in this field. Japan invested $9 billion in stimulus money in solar energy in 2009, and the prime minister also announced a plan to install solar power at 32,000 public schools.
4. United States (1,650 MW)
Supportive state-level policies are a major driver of growth in the US. With many large ground-mounted solar projects in the pipeline, installed capacity in the US is expected to grow significantly in coming years. Additionally, national legislation promoting solar energy (if it comes through) could move the US forward considerably. The cap on the federal solar tax credit was lifted in 2009, promoting growth in this industry. Despite the recent recession, the US market for residential solar panels doubled in 2009, and increased 37% from 2008.
5. Italy (1,167 MW)
Mixing net-metering and a well-segmented FiT (combined with a lot of sunshine), Italy has become a world leader in solar energy. In 2009, Italy experienced the second-largest solar energy growth in the world. Every two months, Italians install more solar power than California does in an entire year. (To put that in perspective, Italy is slightly smaller in land size than California, with a fairly similar population). "The future growth of the market will depend on the streamlining and harmonisation of administrative procedures, combined with an adapted decrease of the FIT in the third Conto Energia to cope with the expected price decrease," the EPIA reports.
6. Czech Republic (465 MW)
A generous FiT and simple administrative procedures have put the Czech Republic on this list. Per capita, it installed more new solar power than any other country besides Germany in 2009. The market growth has probably boomed unsustainably (and a little unexpectedly), however, and if appropriate policies aren't put in place to slow it, the nascent solar bubble is expected to bust in the coming years.
7. Belgium (363 MW)
The image above shows Belgian solar flowers. Belgium was also a bit of a 2009 solar energy surprise. Belgium's success was from "a well-designed Green Certificates scheme (which actually works as a Feed-in Tariff), combined with additional tax rebates and electricity self-consumption." Belgium is not expected to do so well in 2010 "due to a foreseen tariff decrease."

8. China (305 MW)
China gets a lot of attention these days for its clean energy push, and for good reason. China is a major solar panel manufacturer but hasn't installed a ton of PV itself yet. However, it now has 12 gigawatts (GW) of large projects in the pipeline and if those projects are implemented China is expected to jump closer to the top of the list. According to China's national energy plan, it is expected to reach a total of 20 GW by 2020. Nonetheless, as with many things in China, the plans remain vague (to the rest of the world), at least for now.
9. France (272 MW)
France has a well-designed FiT for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), so BIPV dominates the market there. They've put protections in place to help avoid abuse of the system, and may revise the tariffs to accompany price speculations. One key issue of concern in France is that although many MW of solar energy have been installed, a lot of them have not been connected to the grid. In 2009, 285 MW of capacity was installed but only 185 MW connected to the grid. This is a major issue that needs to be resolved.
10. India (120 MW)
Similar to China, India has fast-increasing electricity demand and it has very high sun irradiation levels. It's government has also been moving forward strongly on clean energy. It has a goal to reach 20 GW by 2020 as well. "Besides the National Solar Mission of 2009, the market expects much of the possible decision this year to define a longterm power purchase agreement that could definitively trigger PV deployment in India," EPIA states. India could quickly rise higher on this list with proper government strategies.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer's local-option sales tax proposal took legislative form Tuesday, but even the bill's sponsor doubts its chances in the 2014 session of the General Assembly.
"I don't really anticipate it passing this year," said Sen. Paul Hornback, a Republican from Shelbyville, of the constitutional amendment he filed, SB 135.
Hornback said Wednesday he introduced the proposal to ignite debate on whether cities and counties should be able to levy their own sales taxes.
"A lot of times it can take more than one year" to win the broad support required for a constitutional amendment, he said.
Also on Wednesday, Fischer joined Metro Council President Jim King and Jeffersontown Mayor Bill Dieruf in announcing a proposed Community Investment Commission. The 18-member group would advise the Metro Council on which capital projects would be funded through the local sales tax.
The commission is meant foster community-wide agreement on projects that the proposed tax would fund. As WDRB reported in November, suburban cities like Jeffersontown and St. Matthews might be able to levy their own sales taxes under the plan, which would dilute the new revenue.
In a news release, Dieruf said the proposed Investment Commission is a fair way for cities like Jeffersontown to be represented in the choosing of the projects.
"With 82 cities and Metro Louisville all working together we can accomplish great things for all in our community," he said.
The amendment Hornback filed Tuesday would allow the General Assembly to give any city or county the power to assess a local sales tax of up to 1 percent, subject to the approval of local voters. The new tax would be added to the statewide sales tax of 6 percent.
The local tax would be temporary and used only to finance a capital project or set of projects within the city or county.
First, the constitutional amendment must be approved by super-majorities (three-fifths) of the House and Senate. Then, it would go to voters in a statewide referendum.
If approved, the General Assembly would then be able to give cities and counties the power to levy the sales tax, but voters in those localities would have to approve the tax and the projects it would fund in another referendum.
"This is about giving Kentuckians the right to vote on investing in their hometowns, a right that citizens in 37 other states already have," Fischer said in a statement Wednesday. "This is direct American democracy at its finest and we thank Sen. Hornback for leading on this important initiative."
Even with proposed Community Investment Commission in Louisville, one issue that remains to be addressed is how cities and counties in the same area would resolve conflicts over the tax.
Hornback said the General Assembly needs to work out, for example, what would happen if Shelbyville, Simpsonville and Shelby County all wanted to levy a new 1 percent tax.
The constitutional amendment ensures that taxpayers would pay no more than an additional 1 percentage point in any county, but separate legislation is needed to spell out the details.
Hornback said all those issues should be hashed out before the constitutional amendment can be fairly considered in the General Assembly.
"The last thing I want is the city of Shelbyville and the city of Simpsonville fighting against Shelby County," Hornback said. "I want some organized way to decide who gets an opportunity to do what."
Hornback's bill would put the following question to voters in the statewide referendum:
"Are you in favor of giving local voters a new right to approve or reject the funding of specific local projects that would be paid for by a temporary local sales tax of no more than one percent, and that would expire when the projects are completed, as authorized by the General Assembly?"

|Our view
Every citizen has access
This is Sunshine Week in America, a week-long celebration of laws that promote open government and enhance the public's right to know — the foundation of a participatory democracy and a crucial part of our republic form of government.
In Wisconsin, vibrant "sunshine laws" such as the Public Records Law and the Open Meetings Law provide broad access to information about how our state and local governments operate.
Public oversight of government activity on every level is at the heart of our democratic form of government. Organizations promoting this year's observance are emphasizing the theme that open government is a vital interest of every American, not just the media.
Our readers should know that this newspaper and other media outlets have no special right to access public records. In fact, public records laws and open meetings laws are in place to guarantee that any citizen has access to information concerning how their government is doing business.
At all levels of government, there are officials bent on locking the public out of the governmental process. They do this by holding secret meetings or illegally going into closed sessions when the topics at hand rightfully should be debated in open meetings. They do it by discussing issues via email exchanges that deny public access to the deliberations.
The nonpartisan Sunshine Week is celebrated in mid-March to coincide with the March 16 birthday of James Madison, considered the father of open government who wrote, "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
It's your government and it's your money that's paying for it. You deserve to know how that money is being spent and whether waste, fraud, corruption, conflicts of interest or just bad decision making is getting in the way.
The 23rd annual Klondike Days drew an estimated audience of 8,000 during the first weekend of March, an event that continues to boost winter tourism because of its incredible diversity and family-based orientation.
This popular, multifaceted event is unique to Wisconsin, centered around the themes of lumberjacks and logging, trapping and trading, Native American culture and our rich North Woods history.
It would not be possible, however, without the dedicated work of the Klondike board of directors, executive director Christine Schilling and the hundreds of individuals and organizations who volunteer time to park cars, serve food and help run the events.
Few communities in Wisconsin could pull off such a diverse winter event year after year. It's a testament to the community-minded, hard-working people who reside in Eagle River and surrounding towns.
We tip our hats to everyone who helped in any way with Klondike Days.

cross-browser friendly way to size 100% x/y bkg images in flexible container divs?
is there a way to do this? i found the css3 code on stu nicholls' site, but it's yet all that reliable across browsers.
details: i want to place a white background with photo border knockout on all four sides in the container div so the page background peeks through.
edit: here is a test page: http://www.pbn.mtouchette.com/codeTesting.html
i tried it as an "overprint" rather than a knockout using multiple background images but i really want the actual background to continue into the voided areas. plus, that didn't display in IE (pc):
background-image:url(http://www.pbn.mtouchette.com/wp-content/images/pbNBkgFrayedLeft.png), url(http://www.pbn.mtouchette.com/wp-content/images/pbNBkgFrayedRight.png); background-position:top left, top right; background-repeat:repeat-y, repeat-y;
then i found stu's code for resizing the image, but that didn't work in ie or safari 4. (sorry, i'm still on a G4 mac and can't run anything over os 10.4.11):
background-image: url(http://www.pbn.mtouchette.com/wp-content/images/pbnBkgFrayedFull.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center center; -o-background-size: 100% 100%, auto; -moz-background-size: 100% 100%, auto; -webkit-background-size: 100% 100%, auto; background-size: 100% 100%, auto;
thanks in advance for your assistance. :-)

IE is always going to be a jerk :/
anyway, if I understand what you are trying to do correctly, this should work, even if it's not as pretty as CSS3... CSS3 , learn it.. love it...
1) is to make two containers.Code:

Your content

2) The CSS would then be something like this:Code:
.wrapOut{ position: relative; padding:10px;} .wrapOut:before, .wrapOut:after, .wrapOut.before, .wrapOut.after,.wrapIn:before, .wrapIn:after, .wrapIn.before, .wrapIn.after { content:""; position: absolute; z-index: 10; background: pink;} .wrapOut:before, .wrapOut:after, .wrapOut.before, .wrapOut.after{height:10px; left:0; right:0; background-repeat: repeat-x;} .wrapIn:before, .wrapIn:after, .wrapIn.before, .wrapIn.after {width:10px; top:0; bottom:0;background-repeat: repeat-y;} .wrapOut:before,wrapOut.before{background-image: url(top.png); top:0;} .wrapOut:after, .wrapOut.after{background-image: url(bottom.png);bottom:0;} .wrapIn:before,wrapIn.before{background-image: url(left.png);left:0 } .wrapIn:after, .wrapIn.after{background-image: url(right.png); right :0 }
.wrapOut, .wrapIn{ zoom:expression( runtimeStyle.zoom=1, insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd','') ); zoom:expression( runtimeStyle.zoom=1, insertAdjacentHTML('afterBegin','') ); }
If for some ODD reason you still need to support IE mac... then you will just have to make the spans class="before" and after yourself , in the mark up.
after all this, the conrer's will still look kinda sharp... ( this would have happened with overlaying multiple bgs anyway. )
the way i deal with this to prevent the 4 elements from actually meeting completely ( so instead of top: 0/bottom: 0.. and so forth I use top:2px ; bottom 2px... ).. or you could add another wrap to create corner elements. being careful about css cascade.
hope that helps
the reason your first div didnt get any images is because you have some typos in your CSS...
the image urls should be:Code:
http://www.pbn.mtouchette.com/wp-content/images/pbNborderLeft.png" and "http://www.pbn.mtouchette.com/wp-content/images/pbNborderRight.pngCode:
http://www.pbn.mtouchette/com/wp-content/images/pbNborderLeft.png" and "http://www.pbn.mtouchette/com/wp-content/images/pbNborderRight.pngTips for better/ faster SitePoint forum answers

This Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013, photo shows a general view of Zaatari refugee camp near the Syrian border in Jordan. With Syria's civil war in its third year, more than 2 million Syrians have fled their country. About 100,000 live in this camp. (AP Photo/Manu Brabo)
By Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC News
Jordanian authorities are issuing massive immunizations against polio, measles and rubella in the Za'atari camp, where more than 120,000 Syrians have landed after being driven out of war-torn Syria.
Authorities worry about an outbreak of polio in eastern Syria, which already has paralyzed at least 10 young children. Contrary to some reports, Jordan has not closed its borders but is rather taking in about 400 refugees daily. The military is inoculating any child who crosses the border, regardless of medical history. At least 19,000 Syrian children have been inoculated to prevent a polio outbreak in the refugee camps.
Za'atari, the largest of the refugee camps, contains mainly refugees who were driven out of southern Syria, crossing the border just east of Golan Heights. The population has grown from 30,000 to 120,000 refugees in just one year.
The camps now include three schools: Saudi, American and Bahraini. One year ago there were three rudimentary clinics, but now there is a hospital and a women's clinic.
Security around the camps is still very tight, however, and the Jordanian military has several checkpoints. But there's been some kind of uprising within the camp itself and the Syrians were holding two Jordanian police officers. We were escorted out of the camp as Jordanian police were heading in. Saturday my crew and I interviewed UNICEF in Amman, Jordan about the efforts to contain the polio outbreak.

Copulate Like A Sex Crazed Animal
Imagine watching a movie with your partner at home. You're enjoying a nice bottle of wine. You want to make love, but your libido is low. You swallow two Bali Mojo Sex Pills with a sip of wine.
The movie is compelling, and grabs your attention, but ten minutes later something stirs. Suddenly a huge swelling occurs. A powerful stream of blood gushes into your penis. You gasp with excitement.
You haven't felt this sexually aroused for a very long time. You're bursting with lust. She senses your mood swing. She also feels warm, and excited. You plunge into new heights of sexual intensity.
The World's Most Powerful Sex Herb Revealed
Announcing the most potent natural herbal aphrodisiac in the world.
Eurycoma Longifolia (Tongkat Ali, or Pasak Bumi as it's known in Indonesia) is now an integral ingredient in the manufacture of leading herbal sex pills.
Tongkat Ali has testosterone enhancing properties that have been scientifically proven to directly cause enlargement of the penis and testicles. Due to its powerful ability to increase penis and testicular mass, plus boost libido, Tongkat Ali has been used in Indonesia for hundreds of years as a supplement for general well-being, and has an ancient reputation as a potent aphrodisiac with the ability to cure erectile dysfunction.
Young Asian Women Are In The Know About Bali Mojo
It's no secret that young Japanese women prefer Indonesian men to all other Asian males, especially the men from the magical island of Bali who are very aware of the powerful aphrodisiac effects of the Tongkat Ali root.
Japanese women, and other Asian females openly discuss the physical attributes of males, including penis size. Huge, elaborately carved erect penises are common on the tropical Indonesian island of Bali, and in Japanese Shinto temples.

Eurycoma Longifolia - Tongkat Ali
Tongkat Ali is the major ingredient contained in Bali Mojo Sex Pills. It increases energy and vitality without the side effects of hyper-stimulation, jittery nerves or insomnia. It is a natural herb native to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, and is known as Asian Viagra or Herbal Viagra.
Indonesian and Malaysian men have used it for decades as an effective natural treatment for erectile dysfunction. It increases levels of the hormone testosterone, which is responsible for the growth and development of the penis, testicles, scrotum, prostate, and seminal vesicles.
Saw Palmetto
A powerful aphrodisiac for both men and women used to treat problems associated with the genitals, urinary tract and reproductive system. It is known as the plant catheter due to its therapeutic effect on the neck of the bladder, and the prostate. It also increases sexual arousal and sex drive, cures impotence, treats enlarged and weakened prostate glands, and balances hormones that regulate sexual development of glands and organs.
Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa
The seeds have been used for over 1,000 years to extend the duration of an erection. It is a natural source of Pyrazolo Pyrimidinone, a core component of leading prescription medications for impotence. It also induces smooth muscle relaxation, allows maximum arterial dilation and improves blood flow, increases and sustains powerful erections, boosts libido, enhances sexual performance, and cures impotence.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract
Traditionally used to improve the flow of oxygen to the brain, and it is also effective in improving the performance of the heart, lungs and genital organs. It also enhances vitality levels, promotes circulatory and blood vessel health, increases smooth blood flow to the penis resulting in a larger erection, increases sexual endurance, and enhances mental alertness, clarity and memory through increased blood circulation to the brain.
Herba Epimedi
A traditional Chinese aphrodisiac that has been used for centuries to treat impotence, reinforce seminal emission, and strengthen the tendons. Its vasodilatory properties are especially effective in enhancing sexual performance. It also has the ability to heal impotence, increase libido and sexual desire, restore testosterone levels and thyroid hormones to normal, heal sexual dysfunctions related to kidneys, and boost energy levels.
Cnidium Monnier
A potent aphrodisiac that was used in Chinese imperial formulas designed specifically for the emperor. It relaxes the muscles around the penis to make it possible for the cells in the penis to take in blood, resulting in a full sustainable erection. It also increases sexual drive and desire, helps prevent premature ejaculation, increases levels of the hormones responsible for healthy sexual function, cures impotence, strengthens sexual energy, and improves fertility in both men and women.
Tribulus Terristris
A powerful herbal aphrodisiac used worldwide for centuries as a natural nutritional supplement with bio-stimulatory properties. The herb is ecologically pure, and has been proven effective in enhancing sexual energy and vitality. It enhancers sexual desire and performance in both men and women, induces bigger and harder erections, increases blood flow into the penis, boosts sexual desire, and increases testosterone levels.
An Amazing Fusion of Seven Natural Herbs
The fusion of seven magnificent natural herbal ingredients has produced a powerful herbal sex pill that has the ability to cure erectile dysfunction, end premature ejaculation, intensify libido, induce bigger erections, and build sexual confidence.
Huge Pulsating Erections, And Supercharged Libido
Many men suffer from erectile dysfunction due to a lack of sexual desire, and others need an increase in blood flow to perform sexually. Bali Mojo Sex Pills are designed to send a strong stream of blood to your penis to induce bigger, thicker, longer, and stronger erections that stay erect. And unlike most sexual enhancers, Bali Mojo Sex Pills provide the added bonus of supercharging your libido.
Some Words Of Praise From Very Satisfied Customers
"My wife calls the shots when it comes to sex. This morning she brushed up against me to let me know tonight's the night. Yesterday, my first pack of Bali Mojo Sex Pills arrived so I took two for the first time ever, and then my wife got a call. I felt energetic so I went for a jog around the block. I got as horny as hell, and had to race home. My wife was off the phone so I embraced her, and what happened after that was fantastic surrealism." Ben, New York USA
"I took two pills then jumped on my road bike and headed to the corner store. I thought the effects would kick in much later, but I was still at the checkout when I felt a huge bulge in my jeans. The check out girl noticed my reaction and grinned. I had to get home fast. By the time I got on my bike my penis was fully erect. Embarrassing, but amazing!" Steve, California USA
"I was working on my latest website and felt the need for some executive stress release so I popped two Bali Mojo Sex Pills. I started tapping away at my keyboard again. About 15 minutes later my wife asked me if I'd be finished soon. I turned to answer and noticed she was almost naked. My penis bulged to it's fullest potential, and we made mad frenzied love with an explosive finish, right on the floor next to my computer." Martin, Bali Indonesia.
"I sincerely wish to congratulate you on producing a wonderful sex pill that has changed my married life. I'm 72 years of age and have suffered from bouts of impotence over the past few years. I have struggled to sustain an erection for enough time to satisfy my wife who is actually 16 years younger than I. Now with Bali Mojo Sex Pills on hand I have rejuvenated our love life, and in fact, sex is now better for us than it has been in quite some time. I'm thrilled with your excellent product, and I've recommended it to some of my mates." Tom, Sydney Australia.
"I was skeptical when I read that Bali Mojo Sex Pills work on women. Recently my wife hasn't responded to sex like she used to. I asked her to try a couple of Bali Mojo Sex Pills, and wow, did she react. She loves your product so much that I think I'm becoming one of your biggest, and most satisfied customers. How about one free pack in return for my testimonial?" Monty, Woking UK.

General Information About Ovarian Cancer
Key Points for This Section
Ovarian cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the ovaries.
The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries make eggs and female hormones (chemicals that control the way certain cells or organs work in the body).
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer of the female reproductive system.
Since 1992, the number of new cases of ovarian cancer has stayed about the same. The number of deaths from ovarian cancer has slightly decreased since 2002.
It is hard to find ovarian cancer early. Early ovarian cancer may not cause any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, ovarian cancer is often advanced.
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about ovarian cancer:
- Ovarian Cancer Screening
- Ovarian Epithelial Cancer Treatment
- Ovarian Germ Cell Tumors Treatment
- Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumors Treatment

What is the difference between this bat and the Rip It Prototype 2?
The RIP-IT Prototype II BBCOR Baseball Bat (PROB2) and the 2014 RIP-IT Prototype BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1403) differ in that they are made from different alloys with the 2014 model being a bit more advanced and durable. Also, the 2014 Prototype is more end-loaded while the Prototype II is balanced.
What is the difference between this bat and the 2013 Rip-It Prototype?
The 2014 RIP-IT Prototype BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1403) features a more end-loaded feel than on the RIP-IT Prototype AIR BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1303A) which would be balanced.
My son is 11 and will soon be 12, he is 5'7" 118 lbs , with 35 mph swing speed(bat speed). He swing a 32" Easton hard maple -3 since 10. Will this bat be the best for him or should he use the Rip-IT Air?
Based on results from our Bat Coach (http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/), we recommend a 32" 2014 RIP-IT Prototype (B1403) for a player with your sons height and weight.
Product Description
New for 2014! The RIP-IT Prototype Series BBCOR is back for round 3 and ready to give players that classic RIP-IT BBCOR feel! The last 2 models have been some of the most highly talked about BBCOR bats to ever hit the field, and B1403 will surely have the same impact. This one-piece design is made from RIP-IT's original R1 Alloy that provides great durability and consistently high performance. R1 Alloy also gives this bat a power balanced feel for players who prefer a slight end-load. The barrel of the RIP-IT BBCOR features their Acoustic Barrel design, that channels and amplifies specific performance frequencies created when a ball makes contact with an alloy bat. The end result is an almost harmonic "ping" sound when good contact is made, and will sound like music to your ears. The handle is wrapped with RIP-IT's Contact Grip that provides incredible vibration elimination and extreme durability to help you perform at your best. RIP-IT is so confident you'll love this bat that they're offering a 30 Day Love It or Return It performance guarantee. If you don't like the bat, simply send it back to RIP-IT within 30 days for a full refund. You have nothing to lose. RIP-IT: Speed Matters! The RIP-IT Prototype is BBCOR Certified and legal for high school and college play. It is backed by a Full 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty With Unlimited Replacements. Free Shipping!
