FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakotans say they've had enough of a decades-old controversy on its flagship university's nickname.
Voters overwhelmingly decided Tuesday to dump the University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux moniker, an issue that has put its athletic teams at risk of NCAA sanctions and divided sports fans, alumni and even tribes. But even for the winners, the outcome was bittersweet.
"This is a political matter with no celebration," said Tim O'Keefe, executive vice president and CEO of the UND Alumni Association and Foundation, who led a campaign to retire the nickname. "We've said all along that this is not an issue about preference. Clearly if that were the case, the name would be staying. The price of keeping the name is simply too high."
Some American Indians from the state's two namesake tribes lobbied for the name and logo to be kept, arguing that they reflected a positive image for their tribes. Eunice Davidson, an enrolled member of the Spirit Lake tribe and member of the committee to save the nickname, was too devastated to talk about the result, her husband, Dave Davidson said.
"I will be honest with you: I'm heartbroken and I'm ashamed of this state," Mr. Davidson said. "On the other hand, there are a lot of wonderful people we have met in the course of this."
Voters in Tuesday's North Dakota primary were asked whether to uphold or reject the Legislature's repeal of a state law requiring the school to use the nickname. The vote sends the matter back to the state's Board of Higher Education, which is expected to re-retire the nickname and American Indian head logo that seven years ago was deemed hostile and abusive by the NCAA.
The final tally showed about 68 percent voted in favor of retiring the nickname, but the divide was still evident at the voting booths. Only one county voted to save the nickname: Billings County, in far western North Dakota. Residents there voted 150-148 against retiring the name.
Lynn Megal, a 59-year-old stay-at-home mom in Bismarck, said she voted to keep the name. Scott Neumann, a 59-year-old high school orchestra teacher in Bismarck, said the moniker is offensive and voted to dump it.
"I'm Irish. I don't have any complaints about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish," Ms. Megal said.
Said Mr. Neumann: "I'm happy to see the opportunity to get rid of it. Native American logos have been abused in too many schools around the country."
Robert Kelley, the UND president, said the vote will allow the college to focus on its students.
"We are appreciative that voters took the time to listen and to understand the issues and the importance of allowing the university to move forward," Mr. Kelley said in a statement. "We also understand how deeply this has affected all of us."
The group that collected petitions for the ballot measure has said it will pursue another vote in the fall to make Fighting Sioux part of the state constitution. Sean Johnson, spokesman for the nickname group, said the results were disappointing but that they plan to continue gathering petitions.
"We don't have the option of forfeiting," he said. "There are more things at stake than some unfounded concerns about the athletic program."
Advocates for retiring the nickname say the issue is hurting the athletic department in recruiting and scheduling. Some fear it could affect the school's standing in the Big Sky Conference. Supporters of the name say coaches and administrators are exaggerating the harmful effects, including the conference threat, and don't believe the NCAA sanctions are a big deal.

7 Ways Star Trek Changed the World
Star Trek (the original series) was quite a progressive take on the future for a show filmed in a generation that wasn't as open minded as their future kin from a star date far, far away. In fact, Star Trek had an incredible cultural impact and many things people find common today actually originated on the classic sci-fi series.
Why is Star Trek so popular? That's not a rhetorical question, we actually have the answer: accessibility. Despite its reputation as nerd fodder, the original show was actually a tightly paced, archetypal, and cool exploration of a possible future of the human race.
Creator Gene Roddenberry was a visionary, and many of his predictions and ideas actually came true. What common place ideas and inventions that have changed the world came from Star Trek? Read through the list below to find out.
- Tip: Navigate with your { left and right } arrow keys1
It Was a Civil Rights Pioneer«»It's no secret that miscegenation (interracial marriage) was kind of a big deal in the United States until very recently - as in, it was totally illegal for people of different races to marry until 1967. That's why it's so shocking to learn that just one year after the Supreme Court decision, the Star Trek episode "Plato's Stepchildren" featured the first ever interracial kiss on scripted TV in the US. It was so controversial, even on the set, that they had to shoot it twice - once where William Shatner (Kirk) and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) kissed, and once where they didn't. But Shatner intentionally ruined the shot where they didn't kiss, forcing the studio to use the other one.
So what, right? It's not like the Star Trek cast was standing with the national guard outside Little Rock High School.
But then again, consider that this was the last great step forward for interracial relationships in media. After that episode aired and the planet wasn't immediately consumed by whatever apocalypse the detractors assumed would consume it, the cabal of ancient immortals that run network TV figured "okay, so we can have white dudes boning black chicks - but that's it." Forty five years later, and it's okay to have, say, Bob Thorton sleep with Halley Berry, but studio executives still think the country is terrified of black men and white women getting "intimate."
Keep in mind, Uhura wasn't a one-off character - she was a major part of the cast and a ranking officer in Star Fleet. So, not only did Star Trek take a big step forward, but it's still probably one the biggest steps any show or film has taken since.
There's also the little fact that Nichelle Nichols considered quitting the show at one point, because being the only black actor on a huge show in the 1960s totally sucked. She decided to stay when Martin Luther King, Jr., a man you don't exactly say "no" to, personally asked her to stay on the show, because she was such a good role model for young black girls - including Whoopi Goldberg, who cited Nichelle as her inspiration to get into acting.l< << PREV 1 of 7 NEXT >>

We had an old-style room with a big terrace over looking the sea, Sicily, and a large portion of Filicudi - and it was breath taking, but the shower and trash can had black mold in them. The food was not cooked well, nor presented well by the family waiting on us. It was too expensive for what they offered!... More

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Ireland v Wales: Teams
At Croke Park, Saturday March 13, kick-off 2.30pm
Last Updated: 12/03/10 1:59pm
Murphy: Warning
Ireland full-back Geordan Murphy has warned his team-mates to be on their guard against Wales at Croke Park.
Although Wales have lost to England and France, they have been one of the most entertaining side's in the championships this season - scoring seven tries and staging some rousing comebacks.
And although they have also conceded seven tries and only won two of their last 10 meetings with Ireland, Murphy insists they will pose a big threat.
"Wales have some great players," said the Leicester full-back.
"People have said they're not playing well but some of their tries are the best you'll see in the Six Nations.
"They're dangerous across the board when they play. Shane Williams can score a try from nothing. He has a fantastic sidestep.
"Leigh Halfpenny is the same. James Hook, Stephen Jones - they're great players. If you let them play, they're dangerous.
"And if you don't let them play they can still come back at you at any time.
"They've played some fantastic rugby even if by their own admission they're not playing as well as they'd like to. They have no fear of Croke Park either."
Murphy has retained his place at full-back, with fit-again Lion Rob Kearney having to settle for a place on the bench.
Brian O'Driscoll and Jamie Heaslip have been passed fit for the clash so Declan Kidney has made no changes to his starting XV.
Wales, on the other hand, have made three changes as they look to bounce back from their defeat to France.
Gareth Delve is handed a rare start at No,8 as Ryan Jones is injured and Andy Powell suspended.
Matthew Rees and Luke Charteris also come into the pack - with Huw Bennett dropping to the bench and Deniol Jones ruled out through injury.
On the bench, Dwayne Peel comes in for the sidelined Mike Phillips, while there is also a place for Ian Gough.
And despite going into the game having recorded just one win so far, wing Shane Williams insists the side is on the verge of being world-class.
"I honestly believe we could have won all of our first three games in the Six Nations this year," said the Ospreys star.
"And yet here we are with just a solitary win. You can't help the 'what ifs' running through your head, because we are such a better team than our results suggest.
"This is all so horribly frustrating. We keep saying the same thing over and over again, and poor (Wales coach) Warren Gatland must find it very difficult to watch us from the stands.
"For all the disappointment, however, there is a part of me that is proud of our performances because we've played some exciting rugby and contributed to some thrilling games so far.
"We really aren't far from being a world-class side, I promise you. It really is a matter of inches.
"There is tremendous character in this side, we never give up, but we need to turn that into more points and wins."
Ireland: 15 Geordan Murphy, 14 Tommy Bowe, 13 Brian O'Driscoll (c), 12 Gordon D'Arcy, 11 Keith Earls, 10 Jonathan Sexton, 9 Tomas O'Leary, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 David Wallace, 6 Stephen Ferris, 5 Paul O'Connell, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 John Hayes, 2 Rory Best, 1 Cian Healy.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Agora: From Democracy to the Market
Jennifer Glasse | 23 Oct 2013 17:21 GMT
Kabul, Afghanistan - The young men arrive in traditional Afghan shalwar khamiz dress, walking past the tents that will be their homes and classrooms for the next year.
Already more than 200 of their fellow cadets are sitting on the makeshift parade ground, their heads newly shorn, wearing fresh uniforms.
This is the first-ever class of the Afghan National Army Officer Academy, a new school created to build Afghanistan's future military leaders. The transformation doesn't take long and in about 15 minutes, the new arrivals are sitting with the men they will study with for the next year.
The competition to get in was fierce. Ten thousand Afghan men applied - there will be women in future classes - for 270 slots. A thousand made the first cut and went through two days of physical and academic testing before being chosen.
"It was an incredibly complex selection process, something Afghanistan's never seen before," said British Brigadier General Maurice Sheen, the chief mentor of the academy.
"It was without favour, it was extremely fair. They were put through quite a grueling selection course over two days where their anonymity was key to it. So in the end, they were selected purely on merit and not who their fathers or who their relatives might be."
At first it will be hard for us, the training the lessons ... We will accept sacrifice so that we can rescue the children of this country from the darkness.
- Mohammed Nasir, cadet
In Afghanistan, where complex family, tribal and ethnic relationships infiltrate most power structures, anonymous appointments based solely on ability are an exception rather than the rule.
'Lots of problems'
Cadet Haji Mohammed said getting accepted here is his dream. Like other cadets, he already has military experience. He served in the Afghan special forces for four-and-half years. "My wish always was to come here and to be trained as a young officer," he said.
Mohammed hopes to be an infantry officer and expects the course to be challenging. "Every course that's the first course will have some problems," Mohammed said. "But we've faced lots of problems before. When I first joined the army, we didn't have the facilities we have now. We will become more advanced so that we can best serve our country."
The Afghan army has grown quickly in the past few years, to about 185,000 today. The fledgling force faces daunting challenges: many of the soldiers are illiterate, the attrition rate from casualties, desertions and resignations is high, and ethnic loyalties sometimes come before national ones. The army's future officers will have a demanding job.
Cadet Mohammed Nasir's father served for 11 years in the intelligence service, and two of his brothers serve in the police. He has no military experience and is hoping to join the religious section of the army.
"We are living under the flag of Islam. There are some in our army who come from the countryside and they don't know about our religion," he said. "The framework of having an army came from our Prophet. Our Prophet had an army. Everyone in the army has to serve based on their culture and religion."
Nasir expects a steep learning curve at the beginning of the 42-week course.
"At first it will be hard for us, the training the lessons. But we will try our best, we will tighten our belts to serve our country," he said. "We will accept sacrifice so that we can rescue the children of this country from the darkness."
NATO assistance
Alongside Afghan instructors are 120 mentors from five NATO nations: the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Australia and New Zealand.
Live Box 201239113414952721
"It's going to be quite a long-term commitment," said Sheen. "It's enduring commitment certainly for the United Kingdom but for the partner nations as well. We intend to be here until 2023, or until the Afghan government decides that that is enough."
The chief of the academy's command office, Afghan Lieutenant Colonel Shamamud Zurmati, said international support is welcome and necessary.
"All Afghan security forces, not just the army but intelligence and other security forces, all need the foreign expertise and support, because our economy doesn't allow us to build the army without international support."
Afghanistan's government gets roughly 80 percent of its budget from the international community, which has pledged long-term support.
NATO's combat mission officially concludes at the end of 2014. It plans to continue a reduced presence in Afghanistan under a continuing mission labeled Resolute Support, which would mainly train and advise the Afghan forces.
Deal in jeopardy?
The NATO mission is contingent on a security agreement between the United States and Afghanistan. The two countries have been negotiating for nearly a year. US officials say they would like to see it completed as soon as possible, so military officials can make plans for withdrawing troops and equipment and preparing for a follow-on force.
An Afghan national assembly, or Loya Jirga, will debate the agreement in late November. If Afghan representatives reject the proposal, the future NATO mission would be in jeopardy.
In June, Afghan forces took the lead for security responsibilities across Afghanistan with NATO troops assisting in areas the Afghans still need to develop, such as logistics, medical evacuations and intelligence. As more troops leave, the Afghans are working to build the capacity to operate on their own, but in some areas it could take years.
At the officer academy, the first few classes will study and live in tents. Buildings that will hold classrooms and dormitories are still under construction, and Afghan and NATO officers wanted the academy's first course to begin so it can complete training before the end of next year. Ultimately 1,350 men and 150 women are expected to graduate annually.
The first 270 men will blaze a trail for the officers that come after them, and Sheen said it will be a difficult year for the would-be officers.
"They can expect an extremely robust course, it's going to be physically demanding for them, it's going to be intensive in terms of the training, but they're well up for it. They've been selected well and they'll do extremely well I'm sure."

Fortunately I was able to coax the plastic back into shape without it snapping, and I just glued the "stone" back in, so it will work fine for me. But I wanted to mention that it CAN be a little delicate so to watch out for that. Anyway, I like the ring's simplicity and I'm using it as a southwestern ring for Josefina's collection, a turquoise ring for my Regency girls (like Jane Austen's www.thehistoryblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Jane-Austen-ring.jpg ), and a mood ring for my 90s girl Amanda. It also fits on both Mattel and PM dolls!

Belinda Solis:
For all us Girls (women)
as a male, i'm embarrassed at these comments. it's a great song, guys. shut the freak up.
Jane Smith:
Please shut the freak up with your sexist comments about kitchens and how Beyoncé is trying to make on sex above the other. You guys have been doing that crap since the beginning of freaking time. Sit the freak down.
lmao after reading the comments its so funny seeing how weak and pathetic the male ego . Women have been putting up with bullcrap since the dawn of time but men get offended and throw tantrums like little 4 yr olds when a women makes a song to empower other women. First of all, "women are just trying to have more power than men"...so you admit that men have more power? lol..Second, please educate yourself on what sexism ACTUALLY is before you say this song is 'sexist' lmao. Sexism is a form of systematic oppression that was literally created BY MEN. therefore sexism has never/will never effect men the same way it does women. So when a women says "girls are better than men", yes, it might be prejudice, but its NOT sexist. Thirdly, Feminism has never been about trying to make women over-power men. Men have been in power for so long that they think any women who demands even the slightest bit of respect is trying to dominate them lmao like its truly like watching a toddler throw a tantrum. I believe that if women were elected president/ambassador/etc more often that there would be no war, there would be no (or less) hunger and a better economy. Call me a 'trader to men" all you want but i think the female body and female aura is something that we as men shouldn't objectify or take advantage of, but rather worship instead. Women in general deserve to be worshiped and thats just the cold truth. Grow up and deal with it

Nathan Vogler:
Its a song, not hate speech. You people need to stop trying to find ways to be offended.
Befikir Zebene:
Women belong in the kitchen... Men belong in the kitchen... Everyone belong in the kitchen... The kitchen has food. Problem solved.
sini Karjalainen:
I honestly think that men are just scared of us women. They are scared that we will over power them.
Angelina Komporlis:
Beyonce is a really good singer and dancer I love her songs!
Alex Woxe:
Who run the world, SQUIRRELS
Justin Tao:
130'000 dislikes are all from freakboys and Menimists
Ana Costellano:
men already know that Women run the world.. that's why they are so butthurt about this song. If you don't think women run the world, then get out of your mother's basement.
nana 123:
women belong in the kitchen.. men belong in the kitchen... everyone belongs in the kitchen... kitchen has food.. food rules!!! ...
Cant there just be equality and equal rights woman are just as good men and men are just as good as woman. Yes there are things that woman can do that men cant and the same the other way round but that doesn't mean that one is better than the other that means that compromise and working together and putting differences aside (reconciliation) is the key to a happy future.
Raquel Jensen:
Um.. Girls do run the world.. After all we are the ones carrying humans in us for more than 6 months then squeezing a watermelon out of your vagina

John Roman:
I simply love this song. It is so powerful ! I can't stop dancing :)) and I do consider myself a feminist : women should be equal to men ! Go get them Beyonce ;) PLus, the video is wooow ! I make some funny videos myself but this one is just amazing! can't love this one! Love you! :*

Liz's Little Life:
Dear Lazy Guys soon not to be anymore guys in this world, Remember when we go to the kitchen those are where the knives are soo...what your saying is kill you guys and poisone you guys o_o i don't know i mean if all the girls killed you guys then you know it'll be all girls ^^ That means we actually would be ruling the world :) i mean not that suprising because we girls are ruling the world :D ~From a girl that rules this world ^^ will not we replying back
Mikayla Crespo:
Girls should run the world🙋🙌
Lillie Willow:
Regardless on what anyone has to say the fact remains this song is meant to empower women to help get us through to the end of the road to equality and I'm not talking about this bogus equality that we have now I mean true equality where we will make the exact same amount as men doing the exact same job where a girl can say I'm going to be president and it actually be a possibility for them to do so yes we women still face oppression everywhere buy remember my sisters we are strong we r made for stamina we will outlast and not to be a buzz kill but also the fact remains we really r taking over the world men r being born less and less in just a few short Yeats the ratio is going to be for every man their will be twice as many women stand strong stand tall u r all beautiful my sisters
Jessica Wind:
Without women, nobody would exist. So yep, we rule the world.
Angel Ordonez:
Feminism!!!! Seriously tho, men haven't been running this world like we should, I say we give women a chance!
Jamie Wright:
If a song was created called "Who run the world, MEN" A huge crapstorm would be created. All you women complaining about men oppressing you and how men wouldn't be alive with out woman are just as bad as them lot. And why is it when you're negative towards a gender, it's not sexist if its a man? The literal definition is "gender discrimination" just because you have been negatively impacted by someone of the opposite gender doesn't mean you should stereotype them all and discriminate back. Note I'm for equality, which this song goes against in every way.
Syed Afnan:
Girls girls. Wow u guys so energetic today over a fictional song. I don't care about girls run the world, i only care about equality. Hmmm i can see you are hungry for power. Power changes people. It will change all the girls, wont it? Hahaha but its none of my business. Im gonna die peaceful anyway in this freaking sick world where everyone wants power. Its like a sickness to humans.
Claire Burnley:
Girls have more power than men
mary ann:
Some men say we belong in kitchens but just remember that's where all the knives are :)
Females can produce their own sperm, men are truly useless.
Daniel Garcia:
Reading the comments, I saw these people: 1 - Women agreeing they run the world, thinking and saying they are better. 2 - Men that disagree that girls run the world, thinking and saying they are better. 3 - Men very offended with the song. 4 - People (Men and women) saying we are equal, and no gender is superior. 1 and 2 are just very, very wrong. We are equal. We were made to be equal. Men are not better than women, and women are not better than men. 3 can simply pretend the song doesn´t exist. Why can´t everyone be like 4?.
Bill Roger:
Lol Why is it that... when women and men try to make music videos like this, it looks stupid as freak? Oh wait... The lyrics are straight up garbage, just as bad as those poser ass rappers who degrade women as objects in their crapty ass music videos. This world has no chill, too edgy and tries way too hard. Even parodies that are supposed to be farces, hit the nail on the head when they attempt to make songs like this. The media fails once again.
Djelikani Diabate Lopez:
Men are imbecils WE RUN THIS freakING WORLD 2015
please be gentle:
people think women are fragile but i have never seen anything as fragile as a man's ego lol
aliyah cobbs:
check out this video of beyonce dancing in one of her original videos.
Valentin Ventura:
Girls rule the world if not who will make kids? And also you depend on your mother more since women make the food and stay home to take of all of you. They can also show more leadership than us, and as a kid and teen are more mature than most of us guys, so yeah
You literally cannot be sexist towards men. It's not possible. Just like you can't be racist towards white people
Jodeen Lord:
Everyone knows this is just a song, and everyone knows those women would never beat those guys in a riot. The men would just pull guns and all the women are dead as easy as 1, 2, 3, 1: load gun 2: yell in a rally or war cry 3: kill those feminazi bitches.
Tony Dang Nguyen:
best song, yes we need Oprah WInfrey as a president
Who run America "Obama" Who run Russia "Putin" Who run Germany "Gauck" Who run Japan " Abe" Who run Israel "Ben" Who run South America "Chávez" Who run UK "Cameron" Who run North Korea :Kim jung un....Now how do "girls" run the world?
Claudia Shakira Munoz:
I can't believe it's 2k15 and people are still sexist, and people can't understand. my favorite part out of all these comments though is when men demand sympathy because 'women are sexist too.' lmao like are you serious? like for real? like honestly for real?
maya velasco:
Just waiting for the anti-feminist in the comments
power of girls
Luna c::
Dear you dumbass menist's and freak boys: Seeing how you came out of a woman's body and every man on this planet did, we should bow down to women. We're the only reason you men are alive and although men have sperm, science has found a new way for sperm to be developed WITHOUT a man involved. So women do run this world pretty much.
Danish Adam:
What the meaning of this song?
Greg Daugherty:
ok but what if a guy made this song saying men run the world.. which they have been doing
Maryyen IsLiving:
Is anyone else thinking after reading the comments and arguments, that this was just a song, she would of done this for fun. But also I'm thinking what's wrong with women doing a song like this??? If they wanna promote themselves they can.
I dent understand all these sexist comments coming from guys and girls. I mean come this is the 21st century shouldn't men and women respect each other by now

IUDs Safe, Effective Birth Control for Teens, Study Finds
A new research study published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology has found that intrauterine devices, or IUDs, are safe and effective for teenage girls. The findings are based on analysis of more than 90,000 women who used the contraceptive device. More from Reuters:
Researchers found less than 1 percent of all women developed serious complications from the devices, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, regardless of their age.
And teens were only slightly more likely than older women to lose their periods or become pregnant while using an intrauterine device (IUD), according to findings published in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
"It shows exactly what many of us have thought all along, that IUDs are great options for teens," said James Trussell, who studies birth control methods at Princeton University in New Jersey.
IUDs include the hormone-releasing Mirena, which can prevent pregnancy for five years, and a copper version, sold as ParaGard, which is effective for 10 years. The devices cost a few hundred dollars each, not including doctors' charges for inserting them.
Evidence has been mounting that new IUDs are safe and effective in preventing pregnancy. But some doctors have been difficult to convince since an older and badly-designed version of the IUD, the Dalkon Shield, caused serious infections and even deaths in the 1970s.
In guidelines published last year, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said IUDs and contraceptive implants should now be considered one of the best birth control options for teens because they are reliable and reversible.

November 1, 2011 12:10 by Reuters
TAQA, which invests in the energy sector globally, set up the Malaysian ringgit programme in early October .
"We have a lot of debt in the next two years to refinance and it (the sukuk) gives us another string to our bow," Stephen Kersley told Reuters in an interview.
TAQA's debt includes $3.5 billion in maturing bonds and $500 million in bank credit.
While TAQA may not go to the Malaysian market until the first half of 2012, despite what Kersley said was a "very strong appetite" there, it may launch a conventional bond next year.
"It is possible, it is an option. It will be a mix, but not at the same time," he said, without stating the potential size of the bonds.
TAQA may also look at project financing from banks despite a tightening of credit by lenders.
"There is a market there for well structured projects," he said, declining to elaborate.
The 75 percent Abu Dhabi government-owned company had a debt ratio of 79 percent with a stated target of 70 percent. "We are moving in the right direction," he said.
Its second-quarter profit more than doubled, helped by high oil prices and increased production in Britain. TAQA plans to announce third-quarter results on Nov. 15.
TAQA wants to invest in power production in Europe, which would allow it to integrate its existing gas production and huge storage facility in the Netherlands, a company executive said earlier in the month. (By Stanley Carvalho)

Bringing Pacifica Day Spa to You
We opened Pacifica Day Spa in 2006 with the launch of our Notting Hill location. This was one of the very first day spas in London. The vision was to provide superb treatments and personalised service to everyone that came to our spa. We wanted to make people feel taken care of and welcomed. Soon the spa expanded to the Hampstead quarters. The Hampstead boutique eventually became a members only spa focused on its existing customers. We have grown and evolved with our customers and been fortunate enough to take care of them in various stages of their lives.
Over the past few years we have gradually sold each location with the intent of going online to provide our professional services globally. Now with the latest technological advances we can offer video face mapping, skin care consultations, retail ordering and will go an extra mile to find you a local facialist through our beauty network.
One of the reasons I started Pacifica was because when I was a teenager I did not know who to turn to when I needed advice on my skin. It was only when my boss at a retail store recommended that I go to her facialist that my skin started to improve. I did not have a clue what a facialist even was. All the medication doctors gave me did not work and a proper cleansing routine and good products selected for me fixed everything in a couple of months.
I love doing facial consultations on anyone with troubled skin or skin care concerns. By asking the right questions and visually seeing the client, we can offer skin care analysis which would incorporate western medicine and Chinese face mapping. There is no age or gender discrimination. In fact, half of my clients are male and teens. I am excited to be able to offer this service to anyone with an internet connection.
It has been a great pleasure to serve our customers in London and we hope you will stay in touch. For now you can find us online but stay tuned for our upcoming locations in Colorado and California.
Let us take care of you. Hope to see you soon online!

While it's possible, especially in a shortened season, the Canucks have just been too far in front of anyone else in the division to think it's likely they fall. The Kesler injury hurts, but I don't think they team will fall too far before he gets back, assuming he doesn't have any more setbacks.
The Wild look pretty good on paper, but I think some are too quick to mention their start last year, especially Wild fans. While I don't think advanced stats are the be-all-end-all, the possession numbers were terrible for them last season even during the start and suggested they would fall off even before the injuries. That said, the Parise and Granlund additions give them a solid top two lines, and allow Brodziak and Clutterbuck to fall down to be great third line players. Suter should help solidify the defense who are young and getting better. I think some were overrating them going into the season, but if anyone other than Van is going to win, I'd put money on them. The Oilers have their stars, but I think they're just too raw. I'd probably still take a Koivu, Parise and Heatley combo over Nuge, Hall and Ebs, because of experience and a proven ability to play the tough minutes, and don't have the depth of Minny either.
