Global Learning Experiences
Pfeiffer University
Department of Health Administration
MHA 676 / MHA 698 Comparative International Health
General Information
MHA 676 is a required core course in the MHA and Dual Degree MBA/MHA Curricula. MHA 698 is an optional course that students who are enrolled in the Dual Degree MBA/MHA may take in satisfaction of one of the MBA electives.
The requirements for MHA 676 / MHA 698 may be satisfied in one of two ways:
- Travelling to either Austria, Canada, England or Germany and actively participating in scheduled presentations and tours related to the health service system of the country being visited. An informal educational journal of approximately 8 – 10 pages in length {double spaced) that includes reflections on presentations and tours will be submitted after the trip is concluded.
- Writing a formal paper on an international health topic. The paper must closely adhere to either APA or MLA guidelines. It should be approximately 25 pages in length, double spaced. The topic must be approved in advance by the designated faculty person. It must address either the management or policy aspects of the topic under consideration.
MHA 676 and MHA 698 are three semester courses. Students register one time and pay one time but the referenced journal / paper may be submitted up until two weeks prior to the end of the third semester of registration.
The cost of a given trip is a combination of (1) the established Charlotte Campus tuition rate for the semester of registration and (2) a surcharge (lab fee) that, when added to the tuition, will cover the true costs of the trip. The budget for each trip is computed each year to keep costs down as much as possible. Exact trip costs typically will not be available until about three weeks prior to the orientation session for the trip.
Specific details about each trip are provided at an orientation session that is typically held on the Charlotte Campus approximately a month and a half after the semester of registration begins. Attendance at this session which is held on a Saturday is mandatory.
General details about each trip are as follows:
- England is exclusively a fall semester registration.The trip is planned for a period of ten days and it typically begins on a Thursday of the first week of January.
- Austria, Canada and Germany are exclusively spring semester registrations. Austria and Germany are eight day trips and Canada is a ten day trip. The trips to Canada and Germany typically take place in mid May. The trip to Austria typically takes place in mid August. Specific departure dates vary from year to year depending on the academic calendar (the trips take place between semesters).
Grades typically are reported within seven days of the receipt of the educational journal or formal paper as the case may be. In all cases grades will be reported no earlier or later than the end of the semester in which the journal or paper is received. This means that grades (depending on when the journal or paper is received) will be reported no earlier than as shown below:
- England: End of the Spring Semester
- Canada: End of the Summer Semester
- Germany: End of the Summer Semester
- Austria: End of the Fall Semester
Note that graduation for those who register for these courses at the end of their plan of study cannot occur until the end of the semester shown above. It is not possible for a student who actually travels to receive a grade for the course until the end of the semester following the dates of travel.
For Fall 2011, Pfeiffer University is going to France from October 15-22, 2011. Download the itinerary. Email email@example.com for more information.

Anyone who has ever gone shopping for resin garden statues knows how difficult and time consuming it is to find quality statuary for good prices. It's tough enough as it is just to locate unique, stunning garden statuary but to get those sculptures for a good price is practically unheard of at local brick and mortar stores. Instead of getting in the car and spending hours to search for resin garden statue treasures, it's far more simple to just shop for them online at Design Toscano. The quality of the statuary is superb, there's a huge assortment of unique artistic sculptures, and you can get them for great prices.
However, one thing that stops some people from buying statuary online is the cost for shipping and the wait to receive the product. Nevertheless, those perceived hindrances become negated when you consider the amount of time, trouble, and higher costs associated with finding premium statuary for the garden at a brick and mortar store, and when you buy any of the unique decor from Design Toscano from today until Sunday, September 29th, you don't even pay anything for standard shipping! As long as your purchase is $75 or more, you won't pay anything for standard shipping on unique animal garden statues like Pongo the Hanging Baby Orangutan, and such stunning decor as the Berkshire Hall Dual Maiden Urn.
Pay nothing for standard shipping when buying $75 or more of high quality decor from Design Toscano until Sunday, September 29th.
This sale cannot be combined with other offers.

Chael Sonnen wants a third fight against Anderson Silva
From his conversation with Globo (via Bloody Elbow):
"I was very envious of where Anderson was. I didn't think he was the best and I wanted to fight and beat him. I wanted to everybody know that. I wanted to win in a fashion that it was not even going to be close. I to came find out that he is a very nice guy. I also met his family. But the person and the fighter are two different things. He is a very pleasant guy, I wish him a wonderful life and I know he loves his children and his wife. I want to have a third fight (against Anderson). I still want to beat him for some source of competition. I also want to face Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva. I don't wish them a bad life but in a fight I can't step back and I have to punch their faces. There is a expression in America that says: if want to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs."

I've just recently purchased 3 Cisco 8-port switches (SG300-10P, article number: SRW2008P-K9-EU) that are going to replace Netgar GS108T switches in my gigabit network (all cabling is CAT6 shielded).
Since Cisco switches are PoE enabled and my firewall is not (Zywall USG-200) I will probably be adding a PoE injector between firewall and first switch (the switches are daisy chained: Firewall -> Switch #1 -> Switch #2 -> Switch #3).
Does anyone have a suggestion for a *good* PoE injector? Requirements are that it should be capable of powering 3 PoE switches that are daisy chained and allow full speed in a gigabit network (no speed impact) ?

I find it quite hard to consider a guy who is getting repeatedly busted in the face entitled.
What I would say is that little pricks that sit in front of keyboards and throw stones at guys of whom they know jack squat to be entitled. (Please don't take that as a shot at you guys personally, I know this is a forum where people go to express opinions and what not)
If it was as simple as just showing up at weigh-ins and fight night, I would agree that 12/12 would be a solid wage for low end UFC guys. However, it's not that simple and everyone here knows it.
The UFC limits your opportunities for sponsorship. They retain exclusive rights to your likeness for video game and marketing purposes. They have the authority to arbitrarily discontinue fighter contracts without warning. They require media appearances, conference calls, etc. They hold you to their code of conduct when you AREN'T fighting. ETC. ETC. ETC.
I won't get into my opinions about all this crap because everyone knows where I stand on the matter and Chuck's response was, at minimum, to be expected as he's played company man for YEARS.

Most are well versed in the performance capabilities of Nelson Racing Engines (NRE). This month we got together with NRE's ringleader, Tom Nelson, to get a firsthand look at their latest small-block creation specifically for the LS crowd. Nelson was quick to show us the NRE 388ci LSX engine from the Daily Driver series and it cracks off an impressive 1,000 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque on just the 91 octane you can get at your local filling station.
Our LS line of engines is quickly becoming one of our most popular packages. The LS engines are lightweight, compact in size, and get great fuel mileage, Nelson says, who was really enthusiastic to show us inside the LS beast. Add in a pair of Turbonetics 61mm turbochargers, huffing into the 388ci package, the power is still super impressive. Twisting the boost knob and adding race fuel pushes the LS 388ci bullet to its threshold at 1,400 hp.
Making 1,000 hp isn't anything we haven't seen before, but where NRE impresses us is in the details of the Daily Driver Series 388. Nelson doesn't just slap that daily driven logo onto an engine and send it to the streets. Careful planning, dyno testing, and real-world results have led to the tagging of this LSX bullet. The 388 literally drives like a new showroom floor car. It starts up nicely, idles well, and can be lugged down to 1,200 rpm on the highway. Just about all of our customers add A/C to this engine and it runs so smooth, Nelson says. It's the next part that convinced us that NRE's Daily Driver moniker is the real deal. Nelson says, The valvetrain is quiet, and it's a hydraulic roller so you'll never have to adjust anything. It's perhaps the most maintenance-free 1,000hp pump-gas engine we've come across. The parts were selected for a very specific purpose to keep the engine street worthy and long lasting.
The foundation for the mayhem is none other than a GM Performance Parts LSX block with a standard 9.24-inch deck height. NRE takes great care in its machine process to ensure accuracy and quality. The cylinders are bored to 4.125 inches and NRE adds a standard 3.625-inch stroke to attain the final displacement of 388 ci. He says, We designed this engine around a stock stroke for great piston durability. Many builders stuff way too much stroke in the stock deck-height blocks and the sleeve lengths aren't long enough to support the piston skirts. We build larger stroker engines, but we use the taller blocks in those applications. NRE utilizes a Callies Magnum 4340 steel crankshaft as well as Oliver billet rods and custom pistons. The compression ratio is 8.8:1 to keep it friendly with boost and 91-octane fuel but not be lazy at part-throttle like some engines tend to be with a much lower compression ratio.
Moving to the valvetrainobviously the camshaft isn't an off-the-shelf grind from a no-frills company. NRE has a specific camshaft profile for this engine and all Nelson would say about it is that it makes power, idles perfectly with plenty of vacuum, and there are no issues with spooling the turbochargers. A set of COMP hydraulic roller lifters are attached to the GM offset rocker arms via a thick set of Smith Brothers 0.116-inch wall pushrods. The last thing you want in a high-horsepower combination is any flex in the pushrods, especially with a forced-induction engine. The heads are GM L92 aluminum heads that you can find almost anywhere and at a reasonable cost. Once the castings are cleaned up, NRE puts them through the CNC mill and increases flow to 355 cfm on the intake port.

What is it?
It's an Alfa Romeo 8C for the discerning cove who sees the 8C itself as (a) too cheap, (b) too common and (c) a bit boring to look at.
That'll be the very expensive, very rare, very not-boring-to-look at Alfa 8C?
Indeed. It takes a certain sort of confidence/madness to look at Alfa's V8 masterpiece - the car widely regarded as perhaps the most beautiful of the 21st century - and think: hey, not bad, but what if we chopped it up and started again? But that is the sacrifice Milan's Touring Superleggera must make for every Disco Volante: taking an angle grinder to the delicious bodywork of an 8C and crafting its own voluptuous coachwork about the Alfa's chassis and V8.
Murdering an 8C? Noo, the inhumanity, etc...
In fairness, if anyone has the pedigree for such an act of sacrilege, it's Carrozzeria Touring. One of the original Italian coachbuilders, the Milan house crafted masterpieces including the original Alfa 8C and BMW 328 Coupe, and, after World War II, the Alfa 1900 C52 (which provides the inspiration for this new Disco Volante), Aston DB5 and Lamborghini 350GT. After a rather quiet five decades or so, the brand is back on the up, recently showing a fastback Maserati Quattroporte and shooting brake Bentley Conti.
The Disco Volante, however, is Touring's first entirely blank-sheet design of the 21st century – and one, it's worth mentioning, too, fully sanctioned by Alfa.
So how much 8C remains?
Though Touring leaves the donor Alfa's ample powertrain and chassis largely untouched – bar a fresh exhaust and a few suspension tweaks to cope with the slight redistribution of weight – its skin is all-new.
The body is rendered in hand-beaten aluminium - the only way to achieve those phenomenally complex, voluptuous panels - with a smattering of weapons-grade carbon fibre thrown in for good measure. It is coachbuilding in its most traditional sense, an art that has virtually died out in an era of monocoque construction and mass manufacture.
It looks… different.
It does. Touring's chief designer Louis de Fabribeckers accepts this is a car that'll polarize opinion: it's not a conventionally elegant design, doing away with the pared-back, sharp-edged minimalism of modern supercars in favour of a more curvaceous aesthetic.
That said, for a car referencing the 1950s so strongly, the Disco Volante steers clear of shamelessly retro, feeling more like a Fifties vision of the future. That name means 'Flying Saucer' in Italian, and from dead front or rear you can see the 2001: A Space Odyssey and Flight Of The Navigator influences. For what it's worth, Top Gear thinks it looks jawdropping. And it's not just us: the Disco won design if the year at the glitzy Villa D'Este Concorso d'Elegenza on Lake Como in May.
So how is it to drive?
Monstrous. Memorable. With the mechanicals little changed, the experience is very much Alfa 8C, which means that vicious, whipcrack V8 and the full-fat Italian front-engined supercar experience.
We always found the 8C entertaining but interestingly fallible, and the Disco Volante is more of the same: that six-speed flappy paddle box remains inescapably thunky, the ride inescapably hardcore. That said, the Disco's foibles are even more forgivable than in its donor car, so immersive is the experience. And noisy, too: with a new, go-louder exhaust, the Disco Volante emits an extraordinary barrage of screams and booms and rattles worthy of Top Gear's finest Pavarotti/opera metaphor.
At first it feels an odd sort of powertrain for something that looks like the Disco Volante - from its past-meets-future visuals, maybe we expected the noise of a 1950s Le Mans Alfa overlaid with Tie Fighter whooshing - but one that suits it well: organic and very extrovert.
It looks fast.
It is. Touring quotes 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 182mph, which sounds distinctly plausible. But most of the time you don't feel the need to drive the Disco at Full Stig: firstly because it's a very expensive, very wide, very rare slice of near-irreplaceable exotica, but mostly because this a machine in which to waft around, basking in the attention it provokes, enjoying the bass-to-soprano range of the 4.7-litre V8 and the sheer occasion of the thing.
The giant sunroof adds a surprisingly airy dimension to the low cockpit, while Touring's interior upgrades - which is to say most of it bar the dash, which had to remain unfettered for homologation reasons - are as bespoke and immaculately executed as anything on the planet. This is an event of a supercar like no other, making the Veyron feel mass-produced, even a Pagani Zonda seem a litte straight-laced.
So can I buy one?
Yes. With a couple of caveats. First, that you have vast reserves of spare cash. Touring won't reveal exactly how much you'll pay for a Disco Volante - firstly because the exact price will vary by each customer's specific demands and secondly because, as they say, if you have to ask - but politely points out you can get a measure of the cost by the fact that each car requires over 10,000 man hours just to build. And even if your pockets are sufficiently voluminous, you'll also have to lay your hands on, and stump up for, an Alfa 8C donor car. And be happy to see it chopped to pieces.
If you pass the qualification criteria, best be quick: Touring plans a production run of just eight cars, with most spoken for already. But however exorbitant the final pricetag, we're pretty sure it'd be a canny investment: has any car in history ever screamed 'future classic' more loudly than this?

It started like a lot of other Corvette restorations these days. A friend of Jeff Barnett's had bought a rough-looking '68 roadster, and planned on slapping on a new coat of paint and selling it at a profit. While there's nothing new-and nothing wrong-with the idea of making money off of classic cars, the astronomically high prices you see for some vintage Vettes have made it seem like a great way to turn a quick buck. But this isn't a get-rich-quick story, and Barnett, who was told he could buy the car after it had been painted, wasn't interested in being part of one.
After his friend put it in the body shop and "kinda tore it apart," the '68 turned out to need much more than a paintjob. "I don't think anything worked," Barnett told me when we talked about the car. Nonetheless, having fallen in love with a neighbor's yellow, chrome-bumper shark when he was in high school, he had always liked the body style and had always been intrigued by custom cars. A deal was struck in the due course of time, and Barnett bought the car in mid-project stage.
And "project" is just the word: There were no door panels, none of the gauges worked, and half the interior was out. An L88 hood covered the 350 that had replaced the blown original engine, several body panels needed replacement, and underneath it all was a frame that was rusted and broken. Not a job for the faint of heart, but also not a task beyond the abilities of Walt Hutcheson, a Corvette guru Barnett met while buying parts out of the newspaper.
Hutcheson, who is well into his 70s, started his career working on boats and moved into Corvettes in the 1960s. He's stayed a Corvette fanatic since then, and the early Vettes are still where his heart lies. "I knew I wanted it done right," Barnett says of the project. "I got lucky when I met him." Barnett, a carpenter by trade, traded out labor with Hutcheson, who did the lion's share of the work on the '68. Like most full-house restorations, it was a long-term project, taking about eight years to complete.
In addition to the substantial bodywork, there was the matter of finding a new frame to replace the original one, which was broken on the passenger side at the rear kickup. Instead of going with a '68 or '69 frame, though, Barnett began looking for one of the later frames that had the diagonal reinforcements that were added to the kickup area in mid-1970. After "a lot of phone calling," Barnett found two: one in St. Louis from a car that had burned, and one in California. After contemplating the temperatures at which fiberglass burns, Barnett opted for the other frame, and had it shipped in from the West Coast.
The frame got an upgrade in the form of an F41-style Gymkhana suspension, with 550-pound front coils and heavier sway bars. In addition to holding the road better, the stiffer front springs also helped carry the added weight of the new engine, a ZZ454 from GM Performance Parts. Making somewhere in the neighborhood of 440 net horses and 500 lb-ft of torque with a fairly mild 9.6:1 compression ratio, the big-block ZZ lays down more power than most of the factory big-blocks that came in sharks originally (remember, they were rated by gross horsepower, not net), with all of the grunt and snarl that made those engines icons of their time.
In the case of this particular shark, the 454's hammering thunder comes to you through Jet-Hot-coated Hooker side-pipe headers, and the power gets to the rear tires through a Tremec five-speed that took the place of the factory four-speed. The differential houses a highway-friendly 3.36 gear, and the stock 15-inch steel wheels were replaced by 17-inch aluminum rims from Billet Specialties. The front 8-inch-wide wheels are covered with BFGoodrich g-Force 245s, while 285/40s wrap around the 91/2-inch-wide rears-a much-appreciated improvement over the high sidewalls and narrow tread of the factory 215s. Go-fast cars need stop-fast brakes as well, so the factory iron four-piston calipers were replaced with polished calipers from Stainless Steel Brakes and paired with new slotted rotors.
So far, though, we're still in fairly familiar territory for modified C3s. No doubt, the powertrain and running gear are impressive, but the truly impressive part of this Corvette isn't what's under its skin, but what's on its skin, and inside its passenger compartment. The L88 hood that came with the car was replaced with an aftermarket C2-style Stinger unit, which had to be raised 11/2 inches or so to clear the Billet Specialties air cleaner on the 454. Hutcheson took a circular saw to the hood to raise the center panel, but you'd never know it. The fiberglass is blended seamlessly back together, and both the Stinger and the raised panel are painted an even black that contrasts nicely with both the orange line that borders it and the metallic silver on the rest of the car. While Hutcheson did the prep work, the paint itself (a factory silver for the GMC Denali) was laid on by Mooney's Collision Repair.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
Former MLB relief pitcher Mark Knudson has an interesting take on the debate surrounding gay athletes in professional sports. In a column he wrote for Mile High Sports, Knudson attempted to put some of his puzzling thoughts into words. He came off as incredibly ignorant.
Knudson argues that gay athletes should remain in the closet for the sake of team chemistry. He says that unlike a "normal workplace," it is the job of a professional sports organization to maintain a level of "teamness." In Knudson's opinion, coming out as gay — which he described as an individual having their own personal agenda — would compromise what the team is trying to accomplish. I'll let him take it from here:
Just as absurd as comparing workplace environments is the ridiculous claim by some in the gay community that there wouldn't be any sort of physical attraction for a gay athlete toward any of his straight teammates – which would cause those very uncomfortable situations. He's gay; he's not dead. He can't just flip a switch and turn off his feelings when he walks into the locker room.
Of course he's going to have feelings of attraction toward a teammate or two. It's human nature. These are some of the most physically fit and desirable human beings on the planet. The gay athlete isn't going to notice that? And obviously, the straight teammates are going to feel the same sort of vibe that the attractive girl on the co-ed softball team gets from a few of the men on her team. Attractive people know when they're being "checked out" and it leads to those very awkward moments. It's human nature for people to be attracted to other people and it's not going to stop happening because the workplace environment is a locker room rather than a typical office setting.
If you thought this former Bears quarterback's take on gay athletes bordered on ridiculous, you should really get a charge out of Knudson's stream of thoughts. The former Brewers pitcher insists that he feels there is absolutely nothing wrong with a gay athlete playing professional sports, but he used a regrettable analogy in an attempt to make his point.
"Every other work place environment has long ago accepted the idea of having openly gay co-workers. What's wrong with pro athletes?" The answer is nothing. There's nothing wrong with pro athletes that isn't wrong with the attractive woman in the office who is uncomfortable with being gawked at.
Those of you who think like me may have instantly thought of the scene in "American Wedding" where Stiffler is offended that a gay man says he would not sleep with him because "everyone wants a piece of the Stiffmeister." The difference there is "American Wedding" is a movie, and the dialogue was supposed to be a joke. The fact this is Knudson's actual take on the matter is disturbing.
H/T Game On!
ANOTHER dumba$$ jock who's been hit in the head w/ a ball too many times.
Mark knudson has a right to his opinion. Is the fact he is not gay means he doesn't have the right of free speech. I wouldn't want another man leering after me.
Or behind me if the soap should slip in the shower. It is what it is...out of the closet and seperate changing and shower facilities. It is all about one's sexual preference when undressed in a business environment.
After this nearly incomprehensible bilious diatribe, we are then subjected to the haute intellectuality of American Wedding.
What Knudson said made perfect sense to anyone who would utterly loathe the idea of being leered at by a promulgated poofter who is a teammate.
And what makes you think ANY gay athlete would be "leering" at any teammate in the showers or locker room? This is nothing but hoary old homophobia that thinks they have anything to be leered AT. Every homophobe is absolutely CERTAIN that he has such a magnificent "package" that even a gay man who knows a guy is straight and homophobic would STILL be uncontrollably compelled to come on to him. What a crock! Gay men are attracted to other gay men, and don't want anything to do with straight men as sex objects. If a gay teammate knew you were straight, you'd have to be hung to the FLOOR before he'd give your privates even a first glance, let alone a second one. (And if you were hung to the floor, all your STRAIGHT teammates would be staring...)
I think Larry Brown is incredibly ignorant. Nice attempt at steering public opinion. Someone who wants to use another mans sewer as a substitute for a woman does not belong in a locker room. I wonder if the writer is out of the closet yet, he seems close.
You mean a gay man has no business in a locker room - even if he's a better player than his straight teammates? I don't know which is bigger: your homophobia or your ego.
Sixty years ago most pro athletes felt that a black man had no business sharing a locker room with white men. Are male egos REALLY that fragile?
yep, he's entitled to his opinion......i'm pretty sure a lot of guys feel this way.....guys are way more threatened by gay men than women are of lesbians....why is that??? i've seen straight guys nearly turn apoplectic when hit on by a gay man....the women i've known who've been hit on by lesbians think it's hysterical! is it because of the ridiculous myth that gay men can't control themselves??? from what i've seen in the news in recent years, it's the straight ones who can't keep it in their pants.....
I've been a part of gay society in New York City since my teens - more than half a century - and I've yet to observe a gay man actually hitting on a straight man. I've seen them act flirty, but it was only to get a rise out of someone who's sent some sort of a signal that he's homophobic. Just mockery - not interest. Gay males learn REAL early that to even glance at a straight man who has doubts about his own masculinity can mean an ass-whuppin'. So they need serious signals before they'll even smile at another man. The way some of these guys feel so threatened, you'd think they were Adonis and Apollo rolled into one...
Is Larry Brown responsible for writing this stupid story? Who the hell is he for calling anyone 'incredibly ignorant' for expressing their informed opinion about lockerroom attitudes. These wannabe sports writers are so incredibly jealous that they will never be as relevant as the athletes that they cover.
If sports want gays coming out of 'the closet' and into the locker room...just, please, make sure that there are seperate showering and dressing facilities. It is what it is and if a homosexual likes men and their private parts which we men all have, well, everyone needs to be respected. It is what it is.
Poor Larry Brown is the ignorant one here. So wretchedly and transparently politically correct is his castigation of Mark Knudson one speculates whether it's really pc or...is...it...
I see the thought police have made it to the sports page. Knudson grew up in a gifferent generation with different morals. Because he doesn't fit your mind set, he's wrong.Yeah right
I'm really tired of all these gays and homo's that want everyone to accept there lifestyle as "normal" and anyone who doesn't is considered "igornant". The FACT is homosexualtly IS WRONG and gross,and contrary to nature. You never see a animal of the same sex trying to have sex with another animal of the same sex. . Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah?For this very reason. Look up the word sodomy. He hasn't change his view on this, and won't, just because this world wants everyone to accept that lifestyle. I keep hearing.."there is nothing wrong with being gay" when the FACT of the matter is,there is ALOT WRONG with it.
My lord, but you are SOOOO full of $hit! Gays don't want everyone to accept them (it's not a "lifestyle," you ignorant Neanderthal) as "normal;" they just want them to accept them as "different" and no more or less. Just like people like you were compelled to accept blacks as different, not subhuman. There are actually MANY lower animals that practice homosexuality, starting with chimps and Republicans and moving down the species ladder. The Sodom and Gomorrah story that's part of your comic book today isn't in the original Aramaic scriptures. It was a deliberate mistranslation into Greek ordered by a 6th Century bishop to conform to his personal prejudices. Every reputable biblical scholar knows that. As for "looking up" the word "sodomy"... Are you trying to claim that your imaginary friend in the sky edits the dictionary...???
Awkwardness...??? Oh, my GOD! How can they survive THAT? It's...it's...it's almost as if they might be expected to act like ADULTS...!!!! I hate to break it to you clowns, but gay men are NOT interested in your "package" the way you like to think. A gay jock is NOT cruising the locker room or showers looking for a big johnson to suck, no matter what myths you choose to believe. First, that would be the easiest way to get yourself beaten to within an inch of your life. Second, gay men are interested in other gay men, not straight men - no matter how impressive you think your equipment is. Third, the ones in the shower and locker room who are looking at schwanzes are the other STRAIGHT men, comparing their endowment to others'. A gay player just wants to be left alone to play his sport - sorta the way Jackie Robinson did in the Forties.
You're really gonna compare these pixies to Jackie Robinson? Really? Now race is injected so we have to run and hide? Way different issue. How do you know so much about how a sodomite feels in the locker room anyway?
Hey, i got to share a locker room with my female co-workers, I'd sure be checking them out, whether they were straight or gay. I'd say they would probably feel uncomfortable, even if I were being discreet and just seeking a peek or two. For this "author" to turn this into his own soapbox is totally uninformed and disingenuous. I've been on a lot of teams and in locker rooms my whole life and the player is stating the obvious. He should not be subject to this kind of attack. I'd say openly gay players would be uncomfortable, especially with the media circus it would create, but everyone would be more comfortable in an uncomfortable situation if separate dressing and shower areas were provided.
Is everybody here saying straight men don't check out eachother in the locker room? It happens all the bloody time. The fact is a locker room is just teeming with homoeroticism. You have a bunch of men with latent homosexual feelings and here's this place where it all comes to the fore. It really is an incredibly gay place. And the only reason a straight man would not want a gay man in the locker is because in a way the gay man would be the personification of all their latent homosexual thoughts and desires. It's sexual insecurity plain and simple
Jerry Sandusky said they can be on his team.
Sandusky was a heterosexual, not a homosexual. At least that what his wife swears. The truth is that 95% of all child molesters are heterosexual. And most of them are family members, relatives, or friends of the parents. Though youth coaches have been getting a lot of press lately. But ALWAYS heterosexual in their dealings with other adults. To pedophiles the gender of the child is immaterial.
comment below viewing threshold
Knudson is right. Why don't men and women share locker rooms? Because no one should be subjected to the humiliation of disrobing in front of others that may be sexually attracted. Isn't the whole issue of "being gay" that you can't help who you're attracted to? If you are going to argue that someone can't help being gay then you can't turn around and argue that they CAN control who they are attracted to.

Emerald is a large, modern country town that was established in 1879 as a base for the building of the western railway. The town is named after 'Emerald Downs Hill', a lush emerald green hill located just north of town. Emerald is now considered the hub for the Central Highlands and the gateway to the Sapphire Gemfields: the largest, and one of the richest sapphire fields in the southern hemisphere.
In 1972, the construction of Fairbairn Dam and the Emerald Irrigation Scheme allowed for the significant development and expansion of agriculture across the region. The dam construction, and its associated Lake Maraboon, also initiated large-scale coal mining within the Bowen Basin in 1977, which at present, produces a significant proportion of Queensland's total coal exports.
Fairbairn Dam is a holiday destination in itself with a selection of cabin, caravan and camping accommodation. The lake is stocked with eight different kinds of fish including barramundi, but is famous for the Red Claw Crayfish. Relax by the lake or take a swim. Picnic tables and free electric and wood barbecues are available.
Once famous for its reputation as a major sunflower producer, Emerald is now home to the world's biggest Van Gogh sunflower painting on an easel located in Morton Park at the western end of Clermont Street (Capricorn Highway). The superstructure is 25 metres high with approximately 13.6 tonnes of steel involved in its construction. Adjacent you'll find the 'straw bale' Visitor Information Centre where the friendly volunteer staff can provide information on exploring Emerald and the surrounding Central Highlands.
Built in 1900 and restored in 1986, the National Trust listed Railway Station with its wrought iron lacework and pillared portico provides visitors with great photo opportunities. At the Emerald Town Hall view an ancient fossilised tree aged 250 million years.

David Hasselhoff is selling KITT
The Hoff will auction his fan-made Firebird KITT replica
Posted: 01 Apr 2014
The presence of a car in eighties TV increased watchability by roughly 40 per cent. An undisputable fact proven by the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT) - David Hasselhoff's sidekick in the legendary Knight Rider series.
But for some reason, probably artistic differences, the Hoff has decided to part ways with the 1986 Pontiac Firebird, and has announced that he'll be putting it up for auction on April 11 in California.
Thing is, it's not actually his co-star. The car that'll cross the block is actually a fan-made recreation, gifted to the actor by über-fan, Jennifer Catano. She used an '86 Firebird, added the hero car's LEDs and digital gauges - including the all-important Turbo Boost button - a W-shaped steering wheel, and embedded over 4,000 sound clips from the show to play on command.
Obviously, David wasn't that impressed. Perhaps he's holding out for one of the original four KITTs, which are already spoken for.
The auctioneer estimates that it'll sell for between £18,000 and £30,000. Fancy it?

The Shinn freeride boards are all about creativity and exploration. Newest in the lineup is the Dundee, replacing the Luigi. The Monk was selected as Board of the Year by independent testers, so naturally, Shinn came out with the Monk Forever. For less than ideal conditions, the King George board is an XL board made to keep you on the water no matter what. For our ladies, we recommend the Toyboy, Shinn's kiteboard designed specifically with the female in mind. For a fun on the beach, Shinn also offers the Waterbird, a skim board that can be used for strapless fun.
Shinn wake style boards compromise nothing in all conditions. The Supershinn is a performance beast excelling in speed, control, pop, grip and drive. The Street was designed as a mixture of the Monk and the Supershinn. Ten years of kiteboarding and twenty five years of surf shaping has delivered the Duke, Shinn's surfboard. Designed for strapped and strapless riding in all wind and water conditions, the Duke lets its owner connect with the water, not just ride it. Shinn also released crossover boards with the Capri GT and Gintronic. Designed to give performance riding in a variety of styles and conditions, these two boards can be found virtually anywhere.
There are no products matching the selection.

If you'd like to set up Google voicemail for your mobile number, follow the steps below:
- Click the gear icon link at the top right corner of the page.
- Click Settings.
- Click Add another phone
- Enter a name and the number for your phone and then select the "Phone Type".
- Click Save.
- You will be prompted to verify your phone number. Click Connect and Google Voice will call your phone. Verify your phone by entering the code that appears in the 'Verify your Phone' pop-up window.
- Click Activate Google voicemail on this phone.

See other voicemail options to use belowIf you're a Verizon Wireless user click here
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing these three activation codes:
- *71[Your Google Voice number]
- *90[Your Google Voice number]
- *92[Your Google Voice number]
Deleting your phone from Google Voice will not actually prevent your voicemail calls from going to Google voicemail. In order to switch back to your carrier's voicemail and deactivate your Google voicemail on your phone:
- Click the gear icon at the top right of the Google Voice page
- Select Settings.
- Click Edit under your forwarding phone number.
- Select Deactivate and follow the prompts.
If you've deleted your Google account and are unable to deactivate Google Voicemail, please contact your carrier and ask them to remove "conditional call forwarding" from your account.
When you call your Google number, you can access the Google voicemail and settings system directly, as long as you're calling from any of the numbers that we normally forward your calls to. Follow these steps to set this up:
- Click the gear icon in the top right of the page and then click Settings.
- Click the Phones tab.
- Click the Edit button and select the Show advanced settings link.
- Select Yes under the 'Voicemail Access' section for each phone from which you want to access your voicemail directly.

Select No next to 'Voicemail Access' if you don't want to directly connect to the Google voicemail system when calling your Google number from this particular phone. Instead, you will have to press * and enter your PIN during the ringback or greeting to access the Google voicemail system from this phone.
If you select Yes for your home landline, for example, anyone calling your Google number from this phone will instead be connected to the voicemail menu and won't be able to call you.
If you're both a Gmail and Google Voice user, take advantage of the Google Voice player in mail lab so that you can listen to your voicemail messages right from Gmail!
Once you enable the lab in your Gmail Settings, you will see the Google Voice player at the bottom of voicemail notifications you receive in Gmail. You can press the play icon to begin playing your messages right in your Gmail inbox.
Turn on Gmail labs
- Sign in to Gmail and click the gear icon in the top right of your Gmail page and click Voice settings.
- Select the Labs tab and find the Google Voice player in mail lab and any other labs you may be interested in.
- Click the 'Enable' radio button to turn on a lab and click 'Save Changes' at the bottom of the page. Your page may refresh but after the refresh, the lab you just turned on will be available in Gmail.
Please note that since Gmail labs are experimental features, it's important to keep the following things in mind about the Google Voice player in mail lab and other Gmail labs you may be using:
- They may break at any time.
- Similarly, they may disappear temporarily or permanently.
- They may work so well that they graduate and become regular features.
To learn how to troubleshoot problems if you run into issues with Gmail Labs, please visit the Gmail Help Center .
If you don't see the Labs tab of in your Gmail Settings, it could be because Gmail labs aren't yet compatible with all of our supported browsers. Labs are available only in Internet Explorer 7.0+, Firefox 2.0+, Safari 3.0+, and Google Chrome. You won't see a 'Labs' tab in your Settings if you're not using the newer version of Gmail on the browsers listed above. So keep in mind, if you're using Internet Explorer 6.0, you will not have Gmail Labs.
You can allow others to call you from your website or blog by adding a voicemail widget to it. Visitors to the website can click the widget, enter their phone number, and Google Voice will call them and connect the call to your Google number. Here's how you can set up a voicemail widget:
- Go to the gear icon at the top right of the page.
- Go to Settings.
- Click the Voicemail Widgets tab.
- Click the Add a new Voicemail Widget link.
- Select the appropriate settings for your widget.
- Click the Save Changes. Then, copy and paste the code in the 'Embed' field into your webpage, your blog, your auction or networking site, or anywhere you want.

CHIPLEY — Washington County Board of County Commissioners held their first public hearing, approved of the tentative millage rate at 8.9195 and approved of budget Projection 20, which eliminated the Human Resource Department, the IT Department and the Administrative Secretary positions, during their budget meeting on Sept. 5.
Commissioner Todd Abbott first spoke to the Board before the public hearing.
"The sheriff has submitted a budget to this board for a wage increase to give to his staff," said Abbott. "He told me personally, to my face that he has a wage increase for all of his employees and what disheartens me is that we're discussing letting three employees go."
He suggested there was no need to have cash carry-over funds and that they use the unallocated funds, which he stated was over $1 million, to save the three positions being terminated by the new budget.
"There are available funds in the bank and not allocated to any expense and not earmarked for any expense," said Abbott. "What I'm asking the Board to reconsider the budget we have approved at the previous board meeting, which is Projection 20 and excludes Human Resource Department, the IT Department and the Administrative Secretary. I'm asking that you reconsider please because this is the last night we can do this."
Chair Alan Bush agreed that there are funds but he explained they are designated to go towards debt.
"I don't even think I can say what we have would be considered a decent contingency fund," said Bush. "There's funds out there and one of them is in the amount of $250,000 but we owe that money and through negotiations, those especially through our attorney and our planner, we have reduced that amount owed down to $205,000 but still that's not money just sitting out there as a slush fund, that's money that we owe and we've got to pay that."
After the public hearing for the tentative millage rate the Board approved to keep it at 8.9195.
"The majority of taxes, the amount people pay, will actually go down and I'm just basing that on what I've seen," said Bush. "It has stayed at 8.9195 but at the same time the property values have decreased since the boom and that's one reason why it has caused even greater shortfall this year than previous years. That millage rate isn't generating the same amount of taxes and there's a significant amount of expenses that we have this year that we didn't have in previous years."
During the public hearing for the tentative budget resident Sal Zuricka was one of the many who stood up to request that the Board reconsider terminating the three positions.
"Commissioner Charles Brock, I've known you for quite a few years and I've been to many meetings where you've talked about the employees and the kind of work they do and that they deserve a raise and every year you come up with money to give them a bonus," said Zuricka. "I think it's time for you to save these three jobs. $30,000 for a computer person, that ain't going to work cause it cost me $150 just for some guy to fix my computer and that was over the phone."
Bush explained that the three positions to be cut were chosen based on category and not due to the individuals.
"We made the cuts from the most budget-neutral way possible," said Bush. "A couple years ago there were five people let go and those people were picked but these were based on category. We never had a HR Department before and there are those who have the budget for one and the IT is an expensive position. In fact it is the second most expensive position in the county and as for the Administrative Assistant, that was someone who served the County Manager."
He added that there were four positions in road and bridge that were done away with because they were funded for the previous year but never filled.
Abbott suggested using budget Projection 40, which included the Human Recourse Department and include the positions for the IT Department and Administrative Assistant and designated it Projection 50.
Abbott made the motion to adopt Projection 50, which failed with a vote of 3 to 2, with Commissioners Lynn Gothard, Bush and Brock voting "no."
"I don't know if the public knows it but the county has over $7 million in debt, which I think are maybe bad choices from previous commissioners and previous commission boards have spent and spent and spent," said Gothard. "They've almost spent this county to just about nothing. The budget we propose we've advertised for Projection 20 uses every bit of revenue we have coming in and an additional $212,900 to balance and as I've said in previous commission meetings, you don't need to be taking out of savings to pay your monthly bills and that's exactly what that is."
Gothard motioned to approve Projection 20 to balance the budget at $23,070,325 and it was approved with a vote of 3 to 2 with Abbott and Pate voting "no."
"I want people to know that not only do we have less money coming in this year, the amount that we have coming in and the amount that we have going out is a difference of about $800,000," said Bush. "So we have worked to try to balance that $800,000. It's just not a perfect world."
The final budget hearing is set for 5 p.m. on Sept. 16 at the Washington County Annex.
