The U.S. Postal Service prides itself on delivering through rain, hail, sleet or snow, but perhaps not any more on Saturday.
While the proposal to eliminate residential and business deliveries on Saturday is clearly to help the federal agency to save money by eliminating up to 40,000 jobs, the pros and cons of such a move are not as readily apparent.
For example, many federal, state and local agencies may have to shift their delivery of checks and other benefits to make sure they are delivered before Saturday. Also, on weeks with federal holidays on Mondays, postal customers would have to go three days without receiving any mail.
The Postal Service, which receives no federal funding, relies on revenue from the sale of postal products and services to pay its bills. With the increase of paying bills via the Internet and some stiff competition for the delivery of bigger packages, the Postal Service needs to make changes, or raise its rates yet again, to lessen an expected revenue loss of $238 billion by 2020.
If eliminating Saturday delivery helps keep postal rates from rising further, we're for it -- if reluctantly.
With post offices still being open on Saturdays under the proposal, you will still be able to buy stamps, send mail and more on the weekends. Just don't expect those Netflix deliveries on Saturdays anymore.
If such cost-cutting moves keeps the Postal Service healthy without affecting services too much, we can't help but, pardon the pun,give elimination of Saturday delivery or stamp of approval.

It's a very safe bet to say this will not reach the final round and go to the scorecards. In fact, I bet the judges leave their pens and pencils at home for this one.Posted October 30, 2013 6:55 pm
Martinez in his prime would be very interesting in the ring with Golovkin. But his last few fights have been rough outings and he's been decked a few times. I think he's aging. I don't want to discredit him, because a few years back I don't know what would happen with a prime Martinez against today's Golovkin. Stephens has a hell of a punch. I love Golovkin but with respect to Stevens, the man can't be counted out already. His punching power is real. Anyone with real power has a chance for sure.Posted October 30, 2013 6:53 pm
I consider him the best also. Martinez has been doing this since he got that Championship belt. Quillen also didn't look that gray but I always thought GGG would beat him anywaysPosted October 30, 2013 5:55 pm
With Quillens performance Saturday and Martinez having the nerve to say 3G is no one for him to fight I'm crowning 3G as the best mw in the world.Good test Saturday lets see if he continues to take mw by storm and make more trained fighters soil themselves at least Stevens is up to the challenge.Posted October 30, 2013 5:36 pm
"This opponent is put here to lose his last 4 or so opponents have something like 30 losses between them… Golovkin is playing in the sand box with this caliber of fighter and guys are already priming up to worship at his feet… Boxing fans are comical to say the least…"

I think Stevens will be stopped but I think it will be entertaining while it last.Posted October 30, 2013 10:57 am
I'm a little surprised at how downplayed Stevens chances are in this fight. He was once a highly touted prospect at SM, has some pop to his punches, and def has no fear of GGG. I think he will do better then most think in this fight. Not a bias commentator here, actually have been a fan if both over the last yr and I think at this point it's a great step up for GGG. I think triple G wins TKO 7, but not without getting rocked a few times. Can't wait for this one.Posted October 30, 2013 9:44 am

The Asian Barry Gibb analyst.. I think you've unwittingly made a terrible mistake here. You obviously haven't twigged on to not only who I am, but also what I am . Either you're a new recruit to ESB or you lack the necessary grey mater between the old lugholes to put the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together correctly.
Allow me to give you a little helping hand. Let's just say I'm widely considered by all and sundry on here as the greatest poster this site has ever or will ever see. And how would you feel if I were to inform you that you were not actually addressing a mortal human being here? That you were actually communicating with a 5'11", 172 lbs vulture? A fully mature adult male Andean Condor to be precise who is the proud possessor of a hitherto unparalleled 13 ft wingspan and who soars the deep blue azure skies of the Amazon listening to the tranquil and soothing synthesizer based music of the French composer, the maestro himself Jean Michel Jarre on his ipod, whilst they survey the forest canopy below them looking for rotting sloth carcasses to feast upon, particularly their favourite part of nourishment, the part of the sloth they consider to be the delicacy – sloth b0llocks.

Macklin caught Golovkin with a straight right–I think it was in the second round of their fight– that literally stopped GGG's forward movement and forced him to regroup. I'll never forget the expression on Gennady's face after Macklin landed that punch. But of course Gennady sucked it up and didn't show that much reaction but he got nailed by a great punch.
Stevens is a heavy hitter. It will be interesting to see how GGG reacts after getting nailed by a few Stevens' bombs—if he can manage to land them before being put out himself.Posted October 30, 2013 8:09 am

Golovkin has to start talking and challenging these guys more… He deserves big money fights more than they do and he should be more vocal about it.. They always say nice guys finish last.. In Boxing it's easy to finish 2nd if you don't call people out very vociferously.Posted October 30, 2013 1:45 am
So many at ESB were saying that Golovkin will never fight Stevens, but Golovkin is fighting Stevens. They said that Stevens is the best middleweight out there, but after Golovkin signed for the fight with Stevens, many are cutting Stevens down. Macklin gave Martinez lots of problems, he did not give Golovkin any problems. Quillin will never fight Golovkin. Now the haters want Golovkin to go up to 168 and 175, next they will be saying that Golovkin should fight Vladimir Klitschko!!!!!!!

I think it's interesting that someone stated "GGG fronts another smoke and mirrors fight" when I'm sure the same person most like 2 weeks ago favored KO'd Chocolate. The same Guy Rosado was banging out. The same Rosado that got his faced beaten in by Golovkin. But I'd like to ask that same person: is there any way of Golovkin doing right by you? The man is having trouble getting fights, Curtis Stevens is not a well known name but he has a big punch, he laid a guy out last fight with a good record. HE,.. I'll repeat, HE (CS) called out Golovkin. Now, having said that, had Golovkin said, nah, he's a bum… I have a feeling That wouldn't sit well with you either, so why don't you come right out and say you don't like him and there is no right answer or right thing he could do for you to not think negatively of him? This way someone here would at least respect your total honesty as opposed to your aimless shots against a great fight.Posted October 30, 2013 12:07 am

Squared-Circle Real Talk (a.k.a. The Lion King of Beat Street)
BEE-J doesn't know what he's talking about as usual. 3G is a small MW who can easily make 154lbs. FACT: He walks into the ring weighing less than most of the top Jr. MWs, so can easily make weight.
He's been at 160lbs so far because MW is historically one of the few big money glamor divisions in boxing. Jr. MW has never been as prestigious as MW, HW or WW. 3G has been calling out FMJ for nearly two years at 154lbs. And FMJ won't even mention his name as if he doesn't exist. Floyd needs to defend all his 154lbs titles/straps like a REAL champion and stop ducking 3G.
You can't lose to Castillo, then shamelessly duck PacMan and 3G and still be one of the greatest of all time.Posted October 29, 2013 6:29 pm

GGG fronts up for another smoke and mirrors fight against…..who is he? Oh yeah Steven Curtis….whats that….. Oh Curtis Stevens. The reason I don't know who he is would be because he is so far down the rankings he shouldn't be getting a crack at a world title. Even if that paper world title wasn't won by GGG but given to him by the organisation. You won't see GGG fighting any contenders or champs because he is a ducker. Numerous names have called him out, challenged him, but he keeps on bluffing the band wagon jumpers by making excuses and unrealistic dates knowing these other guys are booked. GGG is a fraud who is taking your money and laughing at you. All aboard the hype train. Choooooooooo Choooooooo!!!!Posted October 29, 2013 6:26 pm

It's Me, Ernie
Easy win for GGG…Posted October 29, 2013 5:48 pm
The immediate goal is not Ward or 168… It's to unify 160… Quillin could make himself available right now—but no mention of GGG comes from his lips. Martinez talks about facing GGG but it's just talk. Obviously he's trying to line up Cotto—so Gennady should go hard after Quillin and do him in first.
As soon as Gennardy flattens these 2 middleweight pretenders he can target Ward and 168. The fights that everyone wants to see are the fights that seldom get done because a predilection for ducking is becoming a penchant among modern pugilists. If it looks, acts, sounds, and runs like a duck or a chicken … it is usually not a Harpy Eagle.Posted October 29, 2013 5:43 pm
All I know his last fight he came in at 170z and I will keep saying he has never made 154 in his pro career because he hasn't. Why where they trying to make a catch weight with Rosado instead of going to 154? How come he has never fought at 154 before if he is able to make it?Posted October 29, 2013 5:42 pm

Actually GGG has never made 154 in his career. What is funny is how these bigger guys keep calling out the smaller Floyd. But he has never made that weight so there is no proof that he could make that weight with out being drained. He should make that weight and fight someone just to see if he could make it. With Rosado they wanted a catchweight. They didn't want to go to 154Posted October 29, 2013 4:59 pm
Happyboy you need to learn how to conceal your true motives a little better because I don't think you have the slightest clue how transparent they are or how easy to read you are.
It's abundantly clear you feel very insecure and threatened by spectre of Golovkin coming down to 154 and knocking Money May's head into orbit with his iron Kazakh fists, which is why you goons keep trying your hardest to push him as far away from him as possible.
Even the thought of him residing one division north of Money May has got you guys breaking out into a cold sweat. You all keep repeating the same lines all the time. Move up to 168 ie as far away from Money May as possible. Why so scared bro? Why ya'll getting so jittery?Posted October 29, 2013 4:53 pm

It's about now that Stevens is wishing he never opened his big mouth and challenged GGG. This fight will be over in less than 3 rounds. Goodnight Stevens you bum.Posted October 29, 2013 2:57 pm

Neither is instantiable. What are the differences, and in what situations might you use one or the other?
Here's more detail on using static members and classes.
Here is a short summary:
The key difference is that you can inherit from an
An abstract class is intended to be used as a base of a class inheritance hierarchy. A static class cannot be the base of a class inheritance hierarchy.
A static class is intended for singleton state or stateless functionality. An abstract class is not suitable for singleton functionality, because, even though it may contain static methods and fields as a static class does, it cannot forbid inheritance, so the singleton use may be defeated by subclasses. Or, at the very least, it would be confusing to other programmers, because its definition would communicate an intent that is different from its actual intended use.
The superficial similarity between abstract and static classes is only in the fact that neither may be instantiated. Beyond that, they are completely different animals with completely different use cases.
The CLR has no notion of static classes, it is specific to C#. The compiler implements it by slick use of CLR attributes for a class: it declares it abstract and sealed. That prevents any language from instantiating such a class. This is what it looks like when you run Ildasm:
Making it sealed is very much the point of a static class, it is used as a container for static methods and fields. Which makes them act like global variables and functions like you have in languages like C or Pascal.
An abstract class is very much the opposite, it is designed to be derived from. A abstract class that has all of its member abstract acts like an interface. C# has a keyword for that, making static class and interface the exact opposites.
Abstract classes get instantiated indirectly via derived classes. They provide common behaviour and instance state, but signal that more is required and must be provided by derived concrete classes. For example,
Static classes cannot be instantiated, and any state is at the class level rather than the instance level. They are typically used to define utility methods where there is no state associated with the methods.
Abstract classes are intended to be used as base classes; they cannot have direct instances. Instead, you have to derive subclasses, which provide the what was (usually intentionally) left out in the abstract base class.
Example: consider you have a complex application, where users may log-in to. Various authentication mechanisms should be usable, say, LDAP, NTLM, you name it. One way to model a "user" or "principal" in such a context would be to collect, what is common across all those mechanisms, into an abstract base class, and leave "gaps" (abstract methods) where the actual implementations come into play:
Here, caching of users is a common concern, modelled in the base case, whereas the actual retreival is left for a subclass to provide.
Static class are a different matter alltogether. They are essentially a place to keep your utility functions:
Think of them as some kind of special namespace, which can only contain static members. Basically, a place to put functions.
Abstract class main purpose is to define one or more abstract method(s). Any class extending Abstract class will implement the abstract method or else its also need to be declared as "Abstract".

UPDATE: Gubernatorial candidate John Gregg picks Vi Simpson for Democratic ticket | POLL
INDIANAPOLIS - Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg sought to fire up his party's liberal faithful Tuesday as he tapped state Sen. Vi Simpson as his lieutenant governor running mate in the November general election.
It's a move that carries the risk of undercutting Gregg's claims of conservative stances on social issues, but the reward of engaging groups whose financial support and grassroots backing is critical for Democrats to win statewide.
Simpson, 66, a 28-year Statehouse veteran, is giving up her post as Senate minority leader and her seat representing the Bloomington area to run with Gregg. She said her job will involve representing the ticket with Democrats' left flank.
"I plan on spending a lot of time talking to women, to college campuses and to other constituency groups that I've worked with in the past," she said. "We appeal to different constituency groups, and that's a good match."
Her ability to reach those groups in ways Gregg could not was immediately apparent Tuesday.
Amy Shackelford, a 25-year-old Indianapolis resident who was one of hundreds attending Gregg and Simpson's first event outside the Statehouse, said she had been "kind of torn" on whether to support Gregg. Simpson's presence on the ticket changed her mind.
"She cares about the social issues that I care about, and doesn't hide behind religious ideology at all," Shackelford said.
Planned Parenthood of Indiana supporters cheered Simpson on, as did gay rights advocates who had been lukewarm, since Pence and Gregg both oppose same-sex marriage rights.
Gay and lesbian voters should "take a second look" at Gregg's campaign, said Aaron Schaler, president of the Indiana Stonewall Democrats.
"Her addition to the statewide ticket allows (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Hoosiers, as well as their friends, family and supporters, the opportunity of a statewide voice as an advocate for equality," he said.
Cordelia Lewis-Burks, a former labor union advocate who is vice chairwoman of the Indiana Democratic Party, said compared with Pence, Gregg always has been preferable on issues important to Democrats.
Still, though, Simpson's presence on the ticket "will energize the Democratic base," she said.
When they disagree, how will the two coexist?
"We think there's strength in differences of opinions. For me to have gone and got a cookie cutter of John Gregg would not have been in the best interests of being a good governor. I think we needed a good, broad base," Gregg said.
Simpson said she does not anticipate problems when she and Gregg disagree.
"He wants me to argue with him, to disagree with him. We would fight these things out, and then we would govern as a team," she said. "There are differences, we admit it. But we represent all of Indiana."
Conservative groups immediately criticized the pick, saying Simpson's support for same-sex marriage and abortion rights makes Gregg's claims to oppose abortion and same-sex marriage look hollow.
"Mr. Gregg could not have selected a more radical running mate than Vi Simpson," said Mike Fichter, the Indiana Right to Life president whose organization tweeted that Simpson's selection joins Gregg's campaign "at the hip" with Planned Parenthood.
It's an important point. Simpson's selection comes the day after the Republican candidate for governor, U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, tapped freshman state Rep. Sue Ellspermann of Ferdinand as his running mate.
On the federal level, Pence has pushed to block tax dollars from going to Planned Parenthood. On the state level, Ellspermann voted in favor of a law that blocks Medicaid patients from using Planned Parenthood because some of its clinics offer abortions.
On Tuesday, Simpson said part of the case for Gregg is he would not push measures such as those.
"He will never threaten to shut down government, or to close down the auto industry, just to make a political point or to push some radical right-wing agenda," she said.
The Libertarian hopeful, former "Survivor" star Rupert Boneham, is running with Brad Klopfenstein, who was executive director of the Libertarian Party of Indiana.

St. Paul's current and former law enforcement leaders recently fell victim to one of the most common crimes in St. Paul: car break-ins.
John Harrington, the state senator and former police chief, had electronics stolen from his sport utility vehicle downtown Tuesday while he was working out at the YMCA.
City Attorney Sara Grewing, meanwhile, said she was at Como Park on Feb. 13 and stashed her purse under her seat when she took her 2-year-old daughter to the zoo. Someone smashed her window and grabbed the purse; the wallet fell out in the SUV, so nothing of value was taken, she said.
"This should serve as a cautionary tale for everyone else," Grewing said of leaving valuables in the car, adding she'd also learned from the experience.
Harrington, a St. Paul officer for 33 years, finished his six-year term as police chief in June. He ran as a DFLer for former Sen. Mee Moua's East Side St. Paul seat and took office last month.
Harrington parked near Sixth and Jackson streets about 5:30 p.m. and returned to his car at 7 p.m. He found a window broken out of his vehicle. A leather computer briefcase, notebook computer and Kindle were stolen, the police report said.
There's no trunk in his SUV, so the "best you can do is put things where it's not visible from the street," Harrington said Wednesday.
"I don't know if there was a whole lot I could have done differently," he said, noting he had parked downtown for many years in his career and never had a similar break-in.
Harrington said that he doesn't take Senate files home with him and that the computer taken was a personal one.
"I'll miss being able to finish the book I was reading on the Kindle," he said, which was "Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence in America" by Geoffrey Canada.
Harrington said he parked in a well-lit, populated place, "and I'm still a little surprised they got away with it." But he said he hoped the theft had been caught on surveillance camera or that the automated pawn system the department uses to help find stolen goods will come through.
Grewing, Mayor Chris Coleman's former chief of staff, became city attorney in September.
She said she put her handbag under her seat earlier this month because she was carrying her toddler. Because nothing of value was in her purse and she still had her wallet, Grewing said she didn't file a report with police.
The city attorney's office handles 10,000 misdemeanor cases a year, Grewing said.
"Obviously, with my job, we deal with crime victims all the time with far more serious situations," she said. Though what happened to Grewing was mostly a headache, she said it "offers additional perspective that helps me do my job."
Dave Orrick contributed to this report.
Mara H. Gottfried can be reached at 651-228-5262.
Police say more than $1 million in property is stolen each year from cars in St. Paul. Many break-ins occur in parks and public parking areas.

MEFO Super Explorer, TKC 80?
View Single Post
Red Sox Nation
Joined: Oct 2004
Location: India Wharf
Oddometer: 10,316
I've had two sets each of both TKC80 and Mefo on my old 950A. In my gentle hands, the TKC rear lasted about 3k miles and the front just under 7k miles. The Mefo's lasted 7200 miles at both ends and were totally finished.
I think the Mefo's rode similar to the Scorpions. Quiet with similar grip wet or dry on tarmac. On dirt roads that were dry and full of babyheads, the Mefo front was very good. In mud it was terrible. The Mefo rear was very good all around and lasted so long. Meanwhile the TKC front tire was by far a better dirt tire wet or dry. I found TKC 80's to be poor on wet and cold tarmac. Plus the TKC front was unstable above 90mph.
If I was on a trip and expected to be riding dirt roads, my choice would be a Mefo Super Explorer rear tire with a TKC80 or Pirelli MT21 front tire. If I had no dirt planned I'd opt for the Mefo or Pirelli Scorpions at both ends.

The Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers provided a day at the plate that coach Kayla Mosley has wanted to see this season.
With 15 hits to their credit, the Lady Vols produced enough offense to take a 14-4 victory in five innings against Jackson Academy at home.
Mosley was happy to see the hitting up and down the lineup.
MABEN – Playoffs are right around the corner for the East Webster softball team so the Lady Wolverines are set on making every game count.
Football season is an incredibly important time of year for many college towns around America, and Starkville — which markets itself as "Mississippi's College Town" — is no exception.
Margo Swain has made an impact on the city of Starkville. Whether it be through her work as a volunteer or her time as a social worker, her efforts have not gone unnoticed.
She has always had a concern for families and children and spent many years working with the Department of Public Welfare, which is now the Department of Human Services, throughout the state of Mississippi.
There is a good bit of uncertainty surrounding the quarterbacks at Mississippi State moving forward.
Senior starter Tyler Russell suffered a concussion in week one against Oklahoma State. He sat out the home opener at Alcorn State. He didn't even dress out.Â
Backup Dak Prescott got his first career start against the Braves.
The heat and humidity of a Mississippi summer can be difficult on someone from Amsterdam.
For Mississippi State soccer freshman Annebel ten Broeke, the adjustment is working out just fine.
The Bulldogs defeated Jackson State 4-2 Sunday in the final match of the Bulldog Classic and ten Broeke had a goal and three assists.
With a young team, it is always important to get off to a good start.
Starkville Academy did just that as the Volunteers went the length of the field on the very first drive during Friday's 49-8 victory over Hillcrest Christian School.
Starkville High School football coach Jamie Mitchell said in the preseason that junior running back Jacquez Horsley might be asked to run the football 20-25 times for his offense.
It took more than that on Friday night for the Yellowjackets.
Horsley had 37 carries for Starkville in a 34-14 victory over the Southaven Chargers at home.
AUBURN, Ala. – It seemed that Mississippi State was on its way to a victory.Â
The Auburn Tigers had their own thoughts of winning.
With just over 2 minutes remaining in the ballgame, the Tigers took it 88 yards for a touchdown as they knocked off the Bulldogs 24-20 at Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday night.
AUBURN, Ala. – Senior quarterback Tyler Russell traveled with Mississippi State and dressed out.
He just didn't play.
Russell missed last week's home opener after suffering a concussion against Oklahoma State in week one.Â
MSU head coach Dan Mullen said Russell was not physically cleared to play.Â
For the second week in a row, sophomore Dak Prescott got the start under center.Â

He has been doing this in my living room for years. And now another gift from God-David Darks gift is available to everybody." -Steve Stockman, author of Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2
"David Dark presents us with an alternative way of seeing-with apocalyptic expectations-that is fresh, inviting, and laced with biblical insight. Everyday Apocalypse charts a course through a range of popular artworks, revealing unexpected surprises along the way while opening new avenues for understanding film, fiction, television programs, and popular music." -William D. Romanowski, author of Eyes Wide Open: Looking for God in Popular Culture
"David Dark's key insight in this book is that the apocalyptic vision doesn't heed our usual distinctions between "high" and "pop" culture; he therefore follows the trail of apocalypse wherever it leads-through movies, TV, music, and fiction-and he does so with flair, aplomb, and a determination to consider the whole of human culture in light of the enigmatic and overwhelming Jesus of John's own Apocalypse. Everyday Apocalypse is a fine ride." -Alan Jacobs, author of A Visit to Vanity Fair
"Apocalyptic is not religious fantasy about the future, but a window on the present in the light of the future. David Dark has turned it into a powerful tool for cultural criticism. Literary history and contemporary media are used to throw light on one another. Not many authors can successfully put Beck and John Donne together in the same sentence. Above all, significant examples of contemporary literature, television, music, and film are reviewed, not to show how morally bad they are, but to allow them to show us our reality, if we are willing to be shown it. Highly recommended." -Rt. Reverend Graham Cray
David Dark has published articles and reviews in Prism magazine and Books & Culture. He teaches English at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville

By "loose" I mean the engine is pretty easy to kick over. The compression is still there, but the stroke between the compression is pretty easy. I can still do wheelies and powerslides at 90-100km/hr.
My bike has all the things you mentioned and every one is worth it. DC voltage isn't too bad depending on your existing electrical system and how it grounds. The fan and GPS power cord are great! I've never really had a problem with mine overheating, but I knew it was running hot and the fan adds peice of mind to that. I know it's cooling off faster when Im going slow, and at least keeping the temps at bay while stopped. I've rode in 44 degree heat in the city without any issues. Same with coastal humidity and Moab dryness (38 degrees).
On top of what you listed I have heated grips, 12v plug that I've never used..., and I think that's it. Oh! Another good thing about the GPS cord is you can charge a cell phone with it using an adapter. I've recently added a small battery under the seat to help smooth low RPM voltage and charge cell phones using the GPS cord at night. I have done and do a lot of random camping with this bike so that small source of power is great! It's not big enough to run accessories once the bike is shut off though. After about 2 minutes my HID will start to flicker (35w).
I think rad braces are a must as well. The stock skid plate on these are pretty good and the nice thing about plastic is they slide over trees and rocks (at least better than aluminum). That being said I have a Ricochet on mine. Rad braces are a must. I come from the bush and see a lot of crushed rads, some of them leaking, etc. Even being able to bypass one is a good idea. Otherwise cooling is good in my books. Keeps oil temps reasonable and requires minimal maintenance. The downside is its another thing to fail.
Awesome man, thanks. You convinced me I think, I'm going to give up on a DR for now and focus on this. Either way I would have a winter project setting one of them up, might as well set-up the bike I already own.
Edit- I just finished reading this thread start to finish, my wish list right now is huge. The key focus for me at this point is to do as much as I can without adding too much weight, or detracting from the bike's ability. The only real weight adding stuff is going to be a small tool kit and mount, some electronics like a real speedometer, and bike protection stuff, like the skid plate and some radiator braces. I'm hoping to avoid adding a rear rack, I don't think it will be necessary with a Giant Loop. I've looked for ways to save weight elsewhere on the bike, there isn't much 'extra stuff' that can be taken off.
Hopefully my 4-wheeler sells to fund the project, if so then I'll have a build-up post this winter. I like to tear bikes down over the winter and do everything, so if it goes right I'll have a box of new parts to go on. My shop is coming along nicely, by winter I'll have a small area in the house set aside for bike work.

In 1830 the Duke of Wellington was Prime Minister when the the Beer Act was introduced to help create Beer Houses - a new lower tier of premises permitted to sell alcohol. Under the 1830 Act any householder who paid rates could apply, with a one-off payment of two guineas, to sell beer or cider in their home (usually the front parlour) and even brew on the premises. The permission did not extend to the sale of spirits or fortified wines.

Decision-making and Choosing a Program
Deciding to Study Abroad
Study abroad is about much more than just visiting another country. You will grow in more ways than you can imagine - personally, intellectually, professionally, and socially.
Benefits of study abroad include:
- Building your resume
- Earning credits toward your degree
- Meeting people from around the world
- Exploring the world
- Experiencing different cultures
- Learning and/or enhancing skills in another language
- Finding out who you are and what you believe in
- Enhancing your social skills
For help in your decision-making:
If you are not sure how to get started, or maybe you aren't sure what questions to ask, check out our FAQ. This is a great place to start for general information.
Walk-in Advising
Stop by the Study Abroad Office anytime during normal business hours for walk-in advising with one of our peer advisors. They can tell you about different program options, general program requirements, and answer any questions you may have. They are also happy to share their own study abroad experiences. Once you have selected a program, they can then help you start your application and help you make an appointment with the program coordinator to discuss program-specific details.
General Advising Sessions
General Advising Sessions take place at the beginning of each semester. Students can learn more about program options, the application process, how to finance study abroad, and discuss other academic issues. The staff is prepared to answer general or program-specific questions. Advising sessions allow plenty of time to ask any questions you might have.
The Study Abroad Office also facilitates other advising sessions, for example the Financial Aid Advising Sessions. You can find all of the sessions, as well as other events, on our events page.
Study Abroad Fair
Attend the Study Abroad Fair held early in the Fall and Spring semesters in the Union Concourse. There you will be able to:
- Meet and speak with staff from the CIE Study Abroad Office
- Speak with program leaders directing UWM faculty-led study abroad programs
- Learn about a wide range of study abroad opportunities
- Chat with international exchange university students about their home universities
- Get financial aid advising from UWM financial aid officers
Education Abroad Library
During normal business hours you are welcome to make use of our extensive Education Abroad Library. The library contains material with information about different cultures and countries, best travel practices, as well as opportunities for working, volunteering, and teaching abroad.
Choosing a Program
Selecting a program that is right for you is key to having a positive experience while abroad. To make an informed choice, you are encourage to consider the following:
Type of Program
UWM Study Abroad offers a variety of programs with various durations. The three programs offered by UWM Study Abroad are: short term (6 months or less), an entire semester, or an entire academic year. To help you deicide which type of program is right for you, a few questions you should consider are:
- Would you rather travel independently or with a group?
- Do you have obligations that limit your length of time abroad (family, work, etc)?
- What program is the best fit for your life commitments?
The answers to these questions should help you determine which program is the best fit for you.
Most of the short-term programs are taught by UWM faculty and take place during the summer or UWinteriM terms. UWM offers two types of Education Abroad programs; study abroad and exchange. Exchange programs are restricted to UWM students and are one-on-one exchanges with partner universities around the world, usually lasting for one semester or academic year. Students on exchanges pay UWM tuition plus a program fee that includes CISI health insurance.
Important note: Individuals receiving tuition-based scholarships should consult with the CIE before applying for an exchange program.
Location & Housing
There are many factors in deciding which program is right for you. Some factors to take into consideration are:
- Where would you like to study?
- What type of culture and environment do you wish to live?
- What regions of the world interest you?
- Would you prefer living in a large city or a small town?
- Would you prefer living with a local family or independently in an apartment or dormitory?
CIE Study abroad offers programs all over the world, including places such as Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
There are a variety of options for courses taken abroad. Some main points to consider when picking out your academic courses are:
- Are you more interested in improving your language skills and learning about a different culture?
- What is your academic area of interest?
- Do you need certain classes that will satisfy your degree requirements?
- Is there a limit for you major on how many transfer credits you can earn?
- Is the program sponsored by UWM or is it one in which you will receive transfer credits?
- Are you interested in doing an internship while abroad?
- Do you prefer to take classes with host-country students and is your language proficiency sufficient to do so?
- Would you like to mix your course load and have some courses in English and some in the host country language?
It is important to know about cost when selecting where to study abroad. It is important to know the cost of living in your desired location, whether or not you will need financial aid or other funding to afford your program, and whether financial aid will apply to your program. It is also a good idea to check whether your desired program offers additional scholarship opportunities or special incentives.

FWIW, there are not any real success stories of recovery from achilles tears by NBA players (maybe only Dominique). The link below has a list of players between 1992 and 2012 that have returned after an achilles tear (excluded are 8 guys who never made it back to the league). Now, a lot of these guys were on the down side of their careers anyway, but the evidence seems to show that would be foolish to count on Jennings next year (and it would be very Knicksian to trade for a player too broken to contribute).

This is exactly what's he's talking about. I noticed MSU, in particular, bringing the ball up on a wing, looking for a secondary break, and then slowly resetting their offense with the ball up top such that they would be 15 - 20 seconds into a possession before they even started to run an offensive set. They were essentially starting their offense at the same time an NBA team would on the shot clock, only with unnecessarily consuming 10 seconds of game time, while they passed the ball on the top without running anything off the ball or running any on ball screening action.
If the 30 second clock gets teams to initiate offense 5 seconds sooner, it will greatly improve the flow of the game.

|And just to add to this
And just to add to this point, that stat line reflected a style of play that was unique at the time. Webber was memorable in his ability to see the court as a passing big man, stretch the floor, rebound and play inside. Those Kings teams are so fondly remembered not only because of their success and the way they got screwed in the famous Lakers series, but because they played in a different way than almost any other team at the time. In what was probably the height of NBA iso/2-man ball, the ball moved on the Kings like with no other team at the time. This was largely due to Webber's unique skill set (and to a lesser degree, Vlade's).
In many ways, he was an early version of the skilled big men, who can play in or out of the post, that have reshaped the way that basketball is played.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area received around two inches of snow on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, and the snow left local police busy responding to car crashes throughout the day as drivers found themselves adjusting to the winter precipitation.
The Linn County dispatch center reported 49 accident-related calls as of Sunday afternoon. Information wasn't available for the Iowa City area.
Iowa City police Lt. Kevin Heick said although snowfall can result in some crashes there seemed to be an uptick in accidents in the Johnson County area.
"It seems today was worse than normal but I don't know the specifics," Heick said, noting there were accidents along Interstate 80 and cars in the ditch.
Cedar Rapids police Sgt. Michael Kern said several minor accidents were reported from running into trees, ditches, and a few vehicular collisions with no injuries reported.Kern said officers tend to see more collisions with the first few snowfalls of the season and drivers need to be extra cautious traveling in the snow.
"Make sure they can see clearly and slow down to the appropriate speed that the conditions allow," he said.
Tim Gross, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, said this week is about the normal time Iowans start seeing snow in the area. Last year, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City's first snowfall occurred Dec. 20 when the area was blanketed with five inches of snow.
Catherine Gavin of Naperville, Ill. drove to Iowa City Sunday to visit family and see "The Nutcracker" performance at The Englert. Gavin said she hoped the roads would be in better condition as the snow showed signs of tapering off as she prepared to head home.
"We'll just take our time to get home safely," the 62-year-old said.
Gross said there isn't a lot of moisture in Sunday's snowfall, which results in a light and powdery snow that accumulates pretty quickly. The area could see some small flurries again Tuesday night. Gross said the snow is likely to stay as cold temperatures remain throughout the week.
Iowa City resident Hameed Faruqui said he doesn't mind the snow.
"I'll take this over sleet any day," said the 29-year-old as he brushed the snow off his car windows.
