Glendale creates escort license to combat prostitution
Glendale - The common council approved an ordinance Monday night which creates a mandatory license for any escort services in the city.
The ordinance closely resembles an ordinance passed in Brown Deer last week due to the fact that attorney John Fuchs serves as Village Attorney to Brown Deer and City Attorney to Glendale.
Prostitution would violate the terms of the escort license and result in a fine, and someone who claimed to be an escort without a license would be fined. In either case, officials aim to give police a way to punish prostitutes on the spot when they claim to only be escorts.
"It becomes an additional tool for the police department to control prostitution," said City Administrator Richard Maslowski, "especially in the hotels here in the city."
Glendale evaluates city hall improvements
Glendale — The Glendale Common Council will soon start discussing possible improvements to the city hall/police department building.
John Sabinash, of Zimmerman Architectural Studios, has identified $10.3 million in improvements for Glendale City Hall that could be phased over the next four years. City Administrator Richard Maslowski said the city will not be able to fund all of the projects in Zimmerman's needs analysis, as funding is tight and a number of capital improvement projects are scheduled over the next several years.
The council will start prioritizing the most urgent city hall improvement projects during budget discussions in August or September.
Glendale City Hall was first constructed in 1954. The police department was added in 1963, and another addition was added in 1994. Sabinash said Glendale has "a functionably reasonable building," but it is in need of some updating, like new roofing and windows on the entire building.
The consultant said the improvements could be managed in four phases - the first of which would spend $1.7 million on the city hall portion of the building. The proposal calls for a reconfiguration of city hall's office space, a remodling of the common council chambers and a 952-square-foot office addition along the front of the building, among other improvements.» Read Full Article
'Milwaukee lion' spotted in Glendale
Glendale — After a week on the northwest side of Milwaukee, the much-talked-about 'Milwaukee lion' may have made an appearance in Glendale Sunday night.
The 'lion-like' creature described by more than a dozen eyewitnesses over the last week was most recently spotted on 30th Street and Fairmount Avenue on Saturday night. Milwaukee police officers have been searching the area around Lincoln Creek in search of the big cat.
The lion may be traveling northeast, if a call from Glendale police is accurate.
Glendale police received a report of a lion sighting at 11:26 p.m. Sunday in the 5700 block of Crestwood Boulevard, about a mile north of Lincoln Creek. The caller said he saw a tan muscular animal with a long tail walking in the area, and then it took off running north toward Marne Avenue.
Glendale police responded to the call, but officers were unable to locate the animal.
North Shore communities react to state ban on municipal home inspections at time of sale
Some North Shore government officials are unhappy about a provision in the new state budget that bans local municipalities from inspecting homes at the time of sale.
Shorewood, Brown Deer and Bayside are among the North Shore communities that previously required comprehensive code compliance inspections at the time a property is sold. The inspections required owners to make repairs before the sale of the home could be finalized.
The Wisconsin Realtors Association requested state legislators eliminate those inspections, which were seen as a hurdle for selling homes. The law went into effect on July 14.
North Shore managers upset
The law will bring about a significant change in policy for communities like Shorewood, which has had a comprehensive time of sale code compliance program since 1980. Communities like Shorewood that have an older housing stock have come to rely upon home inspections at the time of sale to help ensure properties do not fall into disrepair, said Village Manager Chris Swartz.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer closes on sale of former American TV and Appliance building
Brown Deer —The village of Brown Deer closed on the sale of the former American TV and Appliance building for $2.1 million last week.
The 119,000-square-foot building is part of a 6.6-acre lot on the north side of the property that was purchased by Pak Technologies, a blending, packing and distribution company based in Milwaukee. Pak Technologies has already started renovating the interior of the building to turn it into a distribution warehouse.
Brown Deer will provide Pak with $750,000 in assistance over the course of four years. Pak Technologies has guaranteed that the improvements to the property will generate an additional $1.4 million in assessed value. The increased tax revenue from the property will be used to reimburse the village for its contribution.
The Brown Deer Community Development Authority purchased the 10-acre lot at 6700 W. Brown Deer Road for $2.6 million in April 2014. That lot has been divided into three parcels, including a 2.2-acre lot on the southeast corner that will be sold to Aldi for $650,000. Village officials estimate the Aldi's property will be worth $2 million when the building is completed in summer 2016.
The remaining 1.2 acres of land on the southwestern portion of the property will be used for storm water management.» Read Full Article
Woman robbed at gunpoint at Brown Deer bank
Brown Deer — Brown Deer police are searching for two suspects who allegedly robbed a 61-year-old Milwaukee woman at gunpoint and stole her vehicle on Sunday, July 26.
In addition to robbing the woman and stealing her car, the two male suspects also allegedly ordered her at gunpoint to withdraw money from an ATM machine at US Bank, 4200 W. Brown Deer Road, at 5:55 p.m. Sunday.
The two suspects - who are estimated to be about 17 or 18 years old - were last seen traveling westbound on Brown Deer Road in a maroon Ford Taurus and a bronze 2013 Buick Encore, which was the woman's vehicle.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Brown Deer Police Department at (414) 371-2900.
Bizarre play leads to Homestead "9" sectional loss to Falls
"It was the weirdest way to score a winning run that I've ever seen."
That was the reaction of Homestead baseball coach Ernie Millard after the Highlanders lost a wrenching 3-2 WIAA sectional semifinal decision to Menomonee Falls on July 20 at Cahill Park in Whitefish Bay.
The Highlanders had advanced to the sectional with a 12-2 rout of Kewaskum in the regional final on July 17 and were looking for their second straight state tournament berth.
Falls went on to defeat Grafton, 4-2, for its first state tournament berth since 2008. The Falls win was also a little bit of vengeance for a sectional semifinal defeat at the hands of the Highlanders last season.
Millard wasn't far off in his assertion about the play in the third inning that decided the Highlanders' fate.» Read Full Article
North Shore area baseball teams drop tough regional contests
The seasons ended on a competitive but also a bit frustrating note for both the Nicolet and Shorewood baseball teams in WIAA regional play on Tuesday, July 14, while after a promising start, Brown Deer saw its campaign come to an end in a 12-2 decision to Cedarburg that same night.
Nicolet fell to host Kewaskum, 5-4, while Shorewood lost to a good Grafton squad, 3-1. Cedarburg, Kewaskum and Grafton all advanced to regional finals on Friday, July 17.
"We really played hard," said Nicolet coach Jason Grodsky. "Everything we worked on since the beginning of the season was evident. We just didn't pick up the ball when we needed too."
It was too bad really for the Knights (7-19). They had fallen behind 1-0 in the third but then scored four runs in the next three innings, combined with help from a wild pitch, a passed ball and a balk. Adam Plotkin also helped out with an RBI single.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay baseball team comes up just short of Falls in regional thriller
Maybe the luck of the draw was unfortunate for the Whitefish Bay baseball team when it came off an impressive win over West Bend East on July 14 only to have to face red-hot, eventual state-tournament-qualifier Menomonee Falls in a WIAA regional final game on July 17.
Not that Bay coach Jay Wojcinski was going to make an issue of it, even after the tough as nails, 4-3 defeat that ended the impressive second half of the Blue Dukes' season with a final mark of 21-11.
"Given the way we've been playing the last 20 games or so, no," he said. "We were going to have face them either now or in the sectional anyway, but we felt confident. It's just that we left a small village (of runners) on the bases."
The Blue Dukes had entered the game with a 10-game winning streak. Falls (26-7) would go on to beat Homestead and Grafton in the July 20 sectional at Cahill Park to earn its first state tourney berth since 2008.
Bay gave the Indians and their Illinois scholarship-bound ace Ty Weber all he could handle in the regional final on a hot and humid night at Falls' Trenary Park. The Blue Dukes had baserunners on each of the first four innings, two each in the second and third. A double play got the Indians out of the first inning problem, and Weber strikeouts did the trick in the second and third.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer municipal buildings need improvements
Brown Deer —Brown Deer's municipal buildings need $821,156 in improvements, according to a consultant's study.
The village board in March contracted Bray Architects to assess the condition of the Village Hall, police department, library and public works buildings. Michael Hacker, of Bray Architects, presented the needs for those facilities at a village board meeting on Monday, July 20.
The suggested solutions for those needs will be presented to the board in two weeks. No decisions have been made yet.
Of the three buildings studied, the DPW building, which was built in 1966, has the greatest needs. Hacker said the building needs $526,122 in improvements, including a new HVAC system ($210,600) and the replacement of all overhead garage doors ($133,812). The consultant also suggested a vehicle exhaust system ($56,700), the installation of an emergency generator ($57,780) and $54,000 to replace the electrical system and panel boards.
Hacker identified $185,593 in improvements for the Village Hall and police department building, which was built in 1972. The roof of the police department addition built in 1994 needs to be repaired at a cost of $119,124.» Read Full Article
The Suburban 16 Power Rankings: Watt, Niebrugge, and others on the next level
(Editor's note: After a late addition putting Anthony Pettis in the top 15, the "Suburban 15" was expanded to the "Suburban 16")
The meteoric rise just continues.
Pewaukee graduate J.J. Watt, once a scholarship tight end at Central Michigan and then a walk-on at the University of Wisconsin, was voted the No. 1 player in the National Football League by the league's players in a poll conducted by the NFL Network.
Higher than Aaron Rodgers (No. 2) and Tom Brady (No. 3). Higher than anyone could have imagined even when he became the 11th overall selection in the 2011 NFL Draft. Even with his second career NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award last year, it's still staggering to think that when the players in the NFL consider who the league's best player is, they turn to Watt.
Sure, all rankings have to be taken with a grain of salt, but especially with the accomplishments of Watt and Jordan Niebrugge, a Homestead graduate who shot an amateur-record round of 67 at the British Open and then tied for sixth in the tourney, there have been some exciting accomplishments racked up by local products. Considering athletes who competed in high school in the Now Newspapers or Lake Country Publications coverage area (and remain active), here's my Suburban 16, where I attempt to rank players based on exposure, impact and post-prep accomplishments.» Read Full Article
Mequon seeks to develop 13 acres in town center district
Mequon — As construction reaches its final stages on the Mequon Town Center project, city officials are now focused on developing a 13-acre parcel nearby.
The city of Mequon has solicited Colliers International to market a 13-acre piece of property along Mequon Road for a major development initiative. The property is generally located between the railroad tracks and Buntrock Avenue, and includes three properties.
The city has owned roughly 11 acres of that land for many years, but only recently purchased nearly 2 acres of land on Mequon Road by the railroad tracks for $1.5 million from the Wells family.
The city is willing to sell the property for $1 in order to create additional value in Tax Incremental District #3. TID 3 was created in 2008, and has since generated between $30 million and $40 million in value. The village's investment in the TID includes sewer infrastructure, burying electric utility lines, streetscaping signage and the installation of sidewalks. The TID is scheduled to close in 2028.
Kim Tollefson, the city's director of community development, said development proposals must be consistent with the parameters of the Mequon-Thiensville Town Center Zoning District created in 2007.» Read Full Article
Niebrugge makes Homestead High proud again with finish at British Open
Immediately after he won the WIAA state golf title in 2012 for Homestead, the astounding Jordan Niebrugge of Mequon was paid the ultimate compliment by his heavily team-oriented coach Steve O'Brien.
"How can you not mention his name (among the state's all-time best prep golfers)?"
And then later, O'Brien added this: "To be around a kid of such character and talent is a once-in-a-lifetime type of deal. One in a million."
And then this on his level of play: "There's not a high school kid who hits the ball like him. With Jordan, it sounds different, the flight is different.
"He can move the ball. You could hear the crowd oohing and aahing (at the state meet)."» Read Full Article
Thiensville apartment developer agrees to consider smaller condominium development
Thiensville— After hearing an overwhelming number of Thiensville residents rejected a 44-unit apartment building at the site of the former M&I Bank building, the developer has agreed to look at the feasibility of building a smaller condominium development.
Fox Point developer David Hoff plans to raze the old bank building, which has been vacant since 2007, and build a 44-unit apartment development on the 1.5-acre piece of land at Green Bay Road and Riverview Drive.
The two-story, U-shaped building consists of a dozen three-bedroom townhomes facing the roadways, and on the inner side of the U-shaped building is a mix of one- and two-bedroom units looking out onto a grass courtyard space. The development would include 77 underground parking spots.
One-bedroom apartments would range from 760 square feet to 900 square feet, and rent would start at $1,100. Two-bedrooms would average 1,100 square feet for about $1,600, and three-bedroom townhomes would average 1,500 square feet for about $2,000.

Whitefish Bay man allegedly charged officer with knives, screamed 'kill me' in officer-involved shooting
Whitefish Bay — The 39-year-old man shot by a Whitefish Bay police officer last week allegedly charged at the officer with knives and threw a large knife at the officer while asking for the officer to kill him, according to a criminal complaint.
The man, Chad Wilsing, has been charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court with recklessly endangering safety and disorderly conduct. If convicted, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 12 years and nine months, along with $26,000 in fines.
The criminal complaint, based on testimony from a witness and a police officer, describes the tense emotional scene that unfolded at 6 p.m. July 13 at 5109 N. Kent Ave:
Wilsing had been drinking that evening, and had plans of driving to pick up four grams of cocaine, according to the complaint. His wife removed the keys from his car's ignition, and went back into their house with his keys. After he was unable to get his keys back, Wilsing decided to travel by bike.
According to the complaint, Wilsing returned about 15 to 25 minutes later, drunk and falling off his bike. He asked for his car keys, but his wife refused to give him the keys. He started slamming the door open and shut, which caused his wife to call the police.» Read Full Article

Primary Literature
In the sciences, the primary literature presents or comments upon the immediate results of research activities. It often includes analyses of data collected in the field or the laboratory. It is very current and specialized. Examples of primary literature in the sciences include:
Secondary Literature
The secondary literature summarizes and synthesizes the primary literature. It is both broader and less current than the primary literature. Since most information sources in the secondary literature contain exhaustive bibliographies, they can be useful for finding more information on a particular topic. Examples of secondary literature in the sciences include:
Tertiary Literature
The tertiary literature deals with broad, discipline-level topics in the sciences (like biochemistry or evolution) and can be a useful starting point when looking for background information on a research topic. The tertiary literature primarily reports very well-established facts in the scientific literature. Examples of tertiary literature in the sciences include:
What is a literature review?
Literature reviews (also called review articles) survey and synthesize primary research on a particular topic.
Why are literature reviews a good starting point for researching a topic?
How can I tell if an article is a literature review?
Usually the abstract or introduction to a literature review will state the authors' intention to survey or analyze the literature on a particular topic. Literature reviews usually have extensive bibliographies, with perhaps 50 - 200 sources cited. Literature reviews usually do NOT present data or other very specific results of research.
Note that many articles that present primary research include a section that reviews pertinent scientific literature as background for the paper: this isn't the same thing as a literature review or review article.
In BIOSIS, literature reviews are identified as such in the "Literature Type" field
Learn more about finding literature reviews in BIOSIS
Peer review is the process by which most scholarly journals evaluate articles submitted for publication. The "peer" part of peer review refers to the fact that the individuals who evaluate the articles for journals are researchers working in the same area as the author.
Publishing in the peer-reviewed literature:
The peer review process
Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based upon their scientific validity and the significance of their contribution to the body of scientific knowledge.
Once an article is published in a peer-reviewed journal, it may appear in print, online, or both, depending on the journal's format. In any case, journal articles are indexed in article databases like BIOSIS. Researchers, students, and others interested in the scientific literature can search article databases to locate peer-reviewed articles of interest to them.
Peer review is not a guarantee
Articles that are peer-reviewed have been carefully evaluated by experts in the field, but this doesn't mean that everything in the peer-reviewed literature is correct. Results published in peer-reviewed articles may later be found to be unsound, or may simply be contradicted by new findings. The continual re-evaluation of previous research findings is one of the primary mechanisms by which scientific understanding is advanced.
However, information in the peer reviewed literature has been subjected to rigorous scrutiny by experts in the field, which is not necessarily true of non-peer reviewed publications. Consequently, scientific claims made in the non-peer reviewed literature should be considered with an extra degree of skepticism.

NEW YORK – As part of its multiyear transformation, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has chosen Lowe New York to reposition its brand and create a compelling, contemporary image of Girl Scouting for the 21st century.
GSUSA will partner with Lowe New York to create a comprehensive campaign that will help refine its new organizational brand and communicate the positive impact Girl Scouting has on girls' lives in a powerful and relevant way. GSUSA made the selection after extensive review in which several agencies competed over six months.
According to Kathy Cloninger, CEO of GSUSA, "While we met with many impressive agencies, the team at Lowe New York stood out for their sensitivity to our history as well as their insight into our future. Most important, Lowe's CEO Nancy Hill and her agency believe in our mission and the incredible impact it has on a girl's life."
GSUSA's search for a new agency comes on the heels of an internal audit that spanned two years and asked thousands of girls and adults throughout the Girl Scout community what they want and need from Girl Scouting today. The organization is streamlining its council structure from 312 regional councils to 109 in order to send more resources to the grassroots level, better serve local communities and reach more girls.
At the same time, Girl Scouts is gearing up to reach diverse girls and young women in new ways by redefining leadership in terms most relevant to them. This leadership philosophy includes knowing oneself, engaging and empathizing with others and having the passion and ability to make a difference in the world. The new program offers a greater variety of leadership skills and experiences to ensure young women today are prepared to become the leaders of tomorrow.
Lowe's Hill stated, "Girl Scouting recognized the imperative to transform their organization to meet the needs of today's busy girls. We were immediately attracted to the opportunity to make an already iconic brand even stronger, taking it from a somewhat outdated image to that of a vibrant community of girls and young women who are out there making a difference."
About Lowe New York

A heads up on some of this year's Eurovision acts...
So, half the countries have now confirmed who they'll be sending into the Swedish battle arena come May, microphone in hand. Here in the UK a decision won't be made for another month. Sadly for us it won't be settled via a public vote but instead the BBC will just pick someone. Rumours have surfaced (as they have in previous years) that Mika might represent us. Personally I think someone like Rita Ora should just book a few days out of her busy schedule, hop on a cheap coach to Malmo and bring the bloody trophy home.
The favourite to win at this stage is Denmark (by far), represented this time by a singer called Emmelie de Forest. We personally can't stand her song which is called "Only Teardrops" and so it doesn't feature below. However, the bookies are seldom wrong. They collaborate with experts and know all the winner tips to look out for (such as the winning song is always one that you can recreate on the piano quite easily - a condition that unsurprisingly rules out a good chunk of the entries).
So without further ado, here are our Top 5 so far, and not a Jedward in sight...
I Feed You My Love - Margaret Berger
Massive Attack meets Britney album track on this dark electro belter from Miss Berger. Graham Norton just has to make a joke on the night about her name being homophonous with burger and the song having FEED in the title. Chortle chortle. Also "Vanessa Feltz in a Christmas Grotto" is a good look that more popstars should rock, go Burger face. Norway won in 2009 with Alexander definitely-not-gay Rybak so it's unlikely they'll win again so soon.
Rhythm of Love - Alyona Lanskaya
Pete Burns meets mouth organ (not for the first time) in this catchy Belarusian choon. Landlocked Belarus have never won the contest in the nine years that they've been taking part. Could this be their lucky year? Probably not, but at least there's a free holiday to Sweden in it for poor Alyona. The sparkly-eyed singer was banned from the contest in 2012 when it emerged TV producers in her homeland had rigged the selection process. But tough cookies to her critics bitch - she's back!
Straight Into Love - Hannah
T4 editorial gaff meets Lloyd-Webber in this dub-prep floorfiller. She's called herself Hannah, just Hannah, amazing. Hannah isn't meant to be a pop moniker, Hannah's someone you sat next to in physics. Why didn't Hannah from S Club 7 think of this? Hannah! Haha! Although we secretly wish the song was called Gay Into Love instead of Straight Into Love (YouTube male cover version anyone?) this song is my fave so far. We like the idea of a video in which Hannah reverses her Vauxhall Corsa on a Slovenian mountain track straight into a hot guy's Peugeot 308 and then love ensues. We can totally imagine this song bouncing off the cosy walls of Ku Klub too. It's a goodun guys.
Here We Go - PeR
One Direction meets even less direction in this terrible, terrible bag of boy band shit. We had to include it right because they're the only boy in the 2013 contest thus far, and this is Gay Times you're reading while at work, but yeah - jeez - what a headache. It's concerning that the video won't let the camera settle on them either, are they all hideously ugly? At least one of the boys looks potentially a bit sexy and sweaty, so fingers crossed. Could do with a Chemical Brothers sample, some charisma and a melody. Failing that, pants off.
Glorious - Cascada
Cascada meets Cascada in this new Cascada song. That's right, one of eurodance's hardest working women (and that's some title) is representing Germany this year. The cheeky damsel has already racked up a million YouTube views for the video that she whipped up in a flash. We get the impression Cascada is one of the few popstars who actually sees the profits of her YouTube views too, checking her Google Ads account and Paypal at 3 in the morning. I like Cascada, she's a clean, honest dance artist which big teeth who does what she says on the tin, even if the tin says "Pretty Naff". Some sceptics have accused her of plagiarising last year's Eurovision winner Loreen's song Euphoria, but the ESC committee have confirmed that Cascada's fine, it's not copying it's just pop music innit. Still, keep your ears pricked for a mash-up come summer, called Euphorious perhaps.
And keep checking Gay Times for more Eurovision gossip. Follow the mag on @gaytimesmag for some Eurovision tweets come May.
Follow Jack on Twitter @jackcullenuk and maybe tell him who you think will win. He's got nothing better to do but reply to you.

Female mma fighter, incredibly talented, Bronze at Olympics in Judo, and she is an armbar master lol. I'm a big fan but I don't agree with this. I think she's trying to get a rise out of everyone lol.
yea man this is going a little too far, it's obvious she is just trying to get attention now.
Everyone's jumping the WWE bandwagon now that Phaels's open the gate. All going for attention…maybe this chick needs a cock in her ass then a fish hook to stfu.
also, GSP has done more for MMA than this bitch could do in 3 lifetimes. No one gives a shit abt woman's MMA. The most popular female fighters are the one's we all wanna fuck. tell me that's not a fact!
not impressed by your perfomance…
she is just saying her own opinion which happens to be the truth as many people feel the same way. never seen a boring GSP fight? hahhaah really funny what a joke!
Right. Dudes on here gettin' all offended and taking what she said personally like she talkin' bad about their main squeeze or something. I guess the truth hurts
great minds think alike!
Bunch of hypocrites eh? This is most likely the same losers that get pissed at GSP because he smashed Penns face in. If you find GSP boring, please stick to highlight reels on YouTube. GSP IS MMA. there is nothing boring about fighting perfection.
To your first assertion: I can't stand him, but if anyone is MMA it is Anderson Silva. And I must stress how much it pangs me to say that.
Second, there was a time when GSP was an extremely entertaining fighter. Like you said, the St. Pierre-Penn fight was great. But that was more than three years ago.
Since the Penn fight, he's gotten extremely boring. As for your comment about fighting perfection, I think of it like this: If Dana White signed Jesus Christ to headline UFC 146, and Jesus did an interview saying he was going to use a Georges St. Pierre approach, I would change the channel. What I'm saying is that I have been told Christ is perfect, but it would be boring to watch someone fight him if he fought like St. Pierre.
The reason GSP is such a boring fighter now, after the Penn fight is because he got caught greasing, and so can't grease anymore. So, no more ground and pound, or else, he'll get submitted.
Yes he is boring you have no argument so just STFU
Fighting perfection? You have got to be stupid, get off Gsp nuts, faggot. This isn't amateur wrestling holding position, humping and winning on points is bullshit. This is a fight, just scrap, not just hump. If you like GSP you'll love gay porn.
GSP is boring and no longer cares about putting on exciting fights even though he has all the talent in the world.
SHAME ON GSP FOR SHUTTING IT DOWN 2-3 YEARS ago and now he only fights maybe once a year if that
Looks like Ronda is getting a bit too big for her 4-0 record…She's gonna get that ass pounded by tate.
stone cold? you sound pretty cookie dough warm to me.
yall some straight little girls, rousey would smash yall into bits.. listen 2 yall fightin over the internet like girls…… She said the truth!! and thats why dudes are gettin washed up……
So the biggest draw in MMA is bad for the sport? that's the truth? OK, here's some truth then. About 1% of what GSP brings into an arena actually gives two shits about Rousey or woman's MMA.
brock was a bigger draw than gsp was he good for the sport? now we have chael sonnen thanks to him.
I don't think Chael decided to self-ingratiate b/c of Brock though. I think we have Anderson to thank for Chael; subbed him, embarassed him (after being dominated) and was/is high profile enough that Chael could stand on his shoulders. Now it's fuckin pretend time with that guy. Brock wasn't that cheese.
Her statement is correct, and incorrect. He is bad for the sport, but he isn't a fighter that is bad for the sport because he isn't a fighter. Even if he wins, even if he dominates, and even if he finishes the guy, he will never fight again. He has been in two fight and that is with matt sera the first time and BJ the first time. Every other time he did what had to be done. I'm not saying he is scared or playing it safe but he doesn't fight either. there are only a few BJ Penn's and Dan hardy's and Nick Diaz's in this world
Dan Hardy? 😀
I'll repeat… Dan Hardy???
Dan hardy is a scrapper str8 up, hate it or love it
Dan Hardy comes to fight. i said earlier that it doesn't matter if u beat the guy its about what the fans want. Did u watch the interview? So why write "Dan Hardy?" is it because you don't know who he is. Shoot you guys probably don't even watch mma. You are just Canadian residents standing up for their best model.
Funny 😀 .. Dan Hardy is overrated..and for the record I'm not Canadian. However, you must be British standing up for YOUR "best" model to bring up Hardy in that line of conversation. 😀 Come on now..You said the Diaz's(understandable), the BJ's(understandable), but then dropped off with this Dan Hardy thing…He just doesn't belong in the same sentence. I'm just saying 😀 .. It's all good. He had his time.
And who are you to talk shit about her? NOONE
You have never seen a boring GSP fight? Are you kidding me? Denial!!!
What about the last 6 fights GSP has been into?! Haven't finish a fight in years so what that fuck are you talking about? Just because your Canadian doesn't mean you should idolize this character! Get a personality!
I think she is right on point GSP lost me as a fan when he started to sit on top of people and smother them out with cheap french colone! He used to come out and fight! Now he just go in there trying to get points with nothing to prove and it pisses me off!
All you GSP fans go to GSP stop living in La la land and admit GSP is not the same he was. He was become a media whore to engage DUMB ASS Canadians into watching the sport!. Look @ the people his fighting come on!? Kos? Hardy? Shield? Man one more round and he woulda lost that fight!
I do to hope he gets his ass kicked if he ever returns cause that guy has a neck for getting injure prior to fights what a bum!
Totally agree with you about this btch, but man. I think GSP is a great fighter and he did great things in the soport. But, have you never seen a boring GSP fight?? C'MON
GSP didnt give her his ween.
Sounds like it
hahah this chick should realize that the only reason i watched this vid is because she's talking about GSP. I don't give a F who she is and I don't wanna know cuz everyone who says GSP- Koscheck was a boring fight doesn't know shit about the sport and should STFU.
GSP for president
Gsp for president? Go back to grade school and learn the qualifications to be president. What a dumbass. Get off his nuts everyone. Condit is the next champ
Ummm…..I think it was boring. GSP took KOS out with a jab. I mean really a jab, that is boxing 101. I expected so much more from KOS being from the city of "NO". GSP did what he needed to do, collect another paycheck. I think what people are trying to say is that he lacks the hunger he had when he wasn't champ and he only does what is needed to stay there. GSP is not a risk taker but a winner. I'm no GSP fan but I give respect. To say that because I feel the fight was boring, we as fans don't know sh*t, is just plain ignorant. It was boring…Josh didn't take him down once and after his eye got shut it was all over and GSP couldn't or wouldn't finish him. That my friend is BORING!!! Hope DIaz or the natural born killer hands it too him so we can finally see the real GSP, if there is one? One love from the city of "NO" in central cali. WAR PENN WAR!!! Enjoy your retirement and time off. Aloha.
GSP didn't stop Kos because he didn't want to. It was for the same reason Ali kept Patterson around, for a prolonged episode of punishment. Kos was out for how long, and it was because he ran his mouth. He will do Diaz the same way! As far as Rousey goes she is just a Cezar Gracie gym slut, the Diaz brothers are running a train on her so she is just running her dick suckered!!!
Come pitbul! Like he didn't try to finish him!!!!!!!!!.. He just couldn't!!!!! He's being sitting on people for so long he forgot how too finish a fight! He couldn't finish him come down from your cloud man.
Kids don't smoke oregano! You'll come out half retarded like this guy
Word king
Come on man, Gsp outboxed KOS and last time I checked boxing was a port of MMA. You can't blame GSP fot Kos not going for the takedown. I understand what you mean by saying that he lacks hunger in finishing the fight but either way, he still is magnificent in what he does and you gotta understand that GSP is the guy with everything to lose so i understand him not taking all the risks of going for the finish and losing his focus. Also I agree on Condit beating Diaz for the interim belt, but GSP will win against Condit for the real UFC welterweight belt.
Much love. X
I think the GSP debate separates people who know mma and those who don't. GSP is a phenomenal champ. He tries to finish fights just doesn't always happen.most of his opponents choose not to strike and when they do they see Kos face ect… people should really watch the fights over. Does he KO everyone? No but to say he's bad for mma is ignorant
Man it almost never happends that's the difference!
I think GSP separates gay mma fans and straight ones. They both know this guy hasn't been a fighter in years The difference is the gay fan like watching him lay on another man is fighting and can't stop singing his praises. Amateur wrestling must be like NHB to queers like jb.
That doesn't seem to apply with Phael; he's a lay n pray fighter (boring) but hypes shit up with all his pretend fantasy. If GSP ran his mouth all day I guarantee no one would call him boring. It's all relative.
yeah that same logic for gsp could have been applied to fitch all the years he went undefeated. theyre boring fighters with gsp sometimes not as boring as fitch but other times just as bad.
Damn, some guys are on here, sounding all butt-hurt like she's talking down on their boyfriend, or something. She's got an opinion, and she's stating it. So what? It's not like she's talking a bunch of shit that's unwarranted. There are many MMA fans out there that agree with what she said. Get a grip, fanboys…
you tell em' Bandit!
That's true and she did state her opinion. She has a right to state that. She also trains with his nemesis(Nick Diaz) so it's expected. One thing she said that I think is counteractd by the numbers is that nobody wants to see GSP fight. When you check it out his last few fights(and others) were at sold out venues. People are actually intrigued by him even though he gets these accusations. I personally like watching him fight. What I see is a fighter who is active in every position(not he lay and pray I see other fighters doing..won't call no names since this is long). His takedowns are super explosive, his jab is blinding, and he just dominates his opponents in every area. He does go for the finish but he also plays it safe. It's up to his opponents to not allow him to play it safe in my opinion. We'll see what happens in his next 2 fights. I don't think he's bad for the sport either…people like winners. You don't have consistent wins in the UFC for being a chump. I have no beef with Rousey over her comments though. It's her opinion and I actually like watching her fights too. My issue with her fights is that I haven't seen her fighting grapplers or well rounded fighters. It's not her fault though. Strikeforce matchmakers have obviously been keeping her away from that. She submitted strikers who are learning how to grapple. It will be interesting to see if she can do to Tate what she did to the others.
that thing needs to shut it's cock hole and gtfo, clearly no idea about anything its spittin, gsp is a god to this sport and i dont think ufc would have come this far without him nor will it ever be as good without him, along side with bj ofcourse.
yes,kindda stupid you all,gsp for president says it all,she whould prob break all your arms.he has become a boring fighter,just cruising for victory against nobodys..when did he last finnish a fight..?and nodoubt he dont wanna fight diaz.and shes so cute omg..
I like it
She likes bj hotness. Lol
And yes gsp fucking blows strike and
Lay and pray
Pre serra fight he was the shit, now he is a point fighter
Then u got dana white protecting him with " injuries "
Guarentee gsp never meets condit or diaz
this is not the james below lol
She works closely with Nick. These statements doesn't surprise me in the least. She may even have a crush on the guy if they haven't went the full mile together. So her sayin GSP is bad for the sport is really stupid. People don't realize that GSP has fought some really tough opponents and with each fight it just gets harder and harder. The tougher his opponents the harder it is to finish anyone. Does anyone think GSP will KO Nick? Of course not. Nick is an extremely tough fighter. People also give Nick a little too much credit. What has Nick done in his entire career? The most significant is probably beating Paul Dailey,which honestly he is only good for his KO power in his hands,,thats it. And he beat BJ Penn which yeah it was good but BJ hasn't been the same since losing the lightweight title. Don't compare Nick's career to GSP's. I respect Nick but he still has a lot to prove. Before we even get into Nick Vs GSP, let's see if he can even get past Carlos Condit. Because my honest opinion is that if anyone will beat the champ,it will be him.
yh man well said bro im with you there
she prob mentioned him cos he one of the best in the sport come on rhonda look at his competition all class imo no one can even hit the guy hes class hes big in the ufc who better to get rhonda attention and she gets to dis her homeboys no 1 enemie at the same time she just killed two birds with 1 stone in a tasteless manner but she is ghetto at snapping arms just a few mind i think tate by swift upper cut round 1 lol
Isn't it obvious she is just promoting herself and her fight? It would be much more difficult to make headlines if it was not for this one: "Ronda Rousey Thinks Fighters Like GSP Are Bad For The Sport".
She is just making you form an opinion on her, be it positive or negative she probably does not care. She did just however make sure, that you know who she is. And possibly will be tuning in March 3th to see her win or lose. Mission Accomplished.
As for GSP being boring. That is pretty obvious. Anyone that knows old-school GSP would probably agree. However, he did make the most dominant comeback after taking a loss.
I don't even blame the guy, but he did play it really safe against Koscheck where he could have easily capitalized. Same as the Hardy fight where he should have advanced position, but his corner told him not to.
Is he bad for the sport? Ofcourse not. And I am sure Ronda knows this aswell. He is the UFC's #1 PPV seller and one of the most popular fighters out there. How can anyone like that be bad for the sport?
About 6-7 months ago people had no idea who Ronda Rousey was, and now she is fighting for the title. She is just being smart, taking a page out of Chael Sonnen's book.
nice analysis
Everyone's just mad cause she actually finished her last four fights.
Let her enjoy her 15 min where she is the hot chick at the party but if u find yourself defending this dumb girl then you are obviously the fan boy. She is over-rated and over-exposed in the media, soon she will be exposed in the cage. Also her big mouth is not going to win her too many friends. Ok so you have some judo, big deal. Your striking doesnt even exist. Rhonda you talk too much..u are not the only female grappler in the world. I can think of a couple women off the top of me' head that would tap u out. You're headed for a big dose of hubris.
lol its got you fuming mate lol id bet u would be a animal in the cage lol well said
She has 4 fights against nobody's. And FYI gsp finished his first 5 fights and 10 of his first 12. I'm tired od fighters becoming famous for talking.
Uh, call me crazy, but I'm sure the fact that she's finished her first four fights in the first round, all by armbar, has a little something to do with the face time she's getting in the press.
I like how he slapped her at the end lol
Bet he woulda have rather slapped that ass of hers instead!
As much as it's about the fans, fighters don't get into the sport to be entertainers, they usually do it from the desire to compete, and to win.
I like Rousey, but that was a dumb thing to say.
If you see a boring GSP fight, the only person to blame is the contender for not bringing it to the beltholder. When the winner of Diaz/Condit fights GSP, it won't be a boring fight, because they won't get sucked into GSPs game, they will bring the fight to him.
GSP doesn't suck, Shields, Koscheck, Hardy and Alves were shit challengers.
Shields took an eye out, in Alves his groin got jacked up, every fighter who's fought GSP has slipped into nothingness, last fight he finished was BJ Penn, grease or no grease (Penn's the goat at lw) and he did it on the tail of the Sherk fight. Fitch just got fucked, Penn is done at WW imho, Kos beat a Hughes washed up by Baby J, Serra is like 300 lbs, Alves is low on ranks, Shields is fighting Sexyama after getting fucked up, Dan Hardy is only around cuz he makes money and the list goes on.
I dont have a problem with these types of comments but in reality for her to sat that GSP is bad for the sport is pretty rediculous because he is the biggest PPV draw, has helped get the sport into mainstream along with other fighters and he conducts himself really well. Regardless if she was a girl or not I dont think it matters, I think it matters that shes only 4 fights in and shes taking shots at someone who has done very well and increased the exposure of MMA.
Brock Lesnar was the biggest PPV draw. He was the first since Tyson to draw 1milliion ppv buys. Check your facts Chez…
Well other than that Chez is completely correct. Before Lesnar, he had the most PPV buys and after he will too. Dana didn't call Canada the PPV Mecca for nothing. If anything when Lesnar was around he was the number 2 PPV UFC fighter. You shouldn't discount his footprint on the sport.
MMA Mecca sorry I am paraphrasing.
Gsp is a boring fighter! His fans give him way too much credit. They act like he is fighting super heroes. He is fighting the same fighters or one dimensional fighters that are really good at only one thing. They are only gsp fans not real fight fans. Just saying! Don't take it personal my Canadian friends or 12yr old little girls. He can talk about how great you think he is to someone that cares!
That's it, throw up your b/s and disappear. won't waste time on rebuttal for a pussy.

Georges St. Pierre is yes sometimes a boring fighter, just because his last couple of fights were unanimous. Doesn't take anything away from his skill set and mental toughness. He's not one of my favorite to watch no, Id rather Rampage Jackson (which many criticize him too b/c of no finishes in 3 years, Junior Dos Santos, or even Demian Maia, or Rousimar because of their phenom abilities w/ jits
Name Georges St. Pierre
Nick Name Rush
Record 22 – 2 – 0 (Win – Loss – Draw)
Wins 8 (T)KOs ( 36.36 %)
5 Submissions ( 22.73 %)
9 Decisions ( 40.91 %)
Losses 1 (T)KOs ( 50 %)
1 Submissions ( 50 %)
Judo is not a sport bunch a half ass ametuers competing trying to throw people around this gives u no adv anywhere
I agree with her that GSP is boring to watch. he has not fought any one that dangerous in awhile, he greased up for the BJ rematch. then when he has to face a real fighter like condit he backs out of fight, then gets pitted against Diaz and has to back out again. GSP needs to stop doing back handsprings like a fkn highschool cheerleader and man up to one of these two guys who def. will bring the fight to him. on another note Rousey is soo fkn hot i would lick her blood off my fingers BJ PENN style. LMFAO.
Shut up and get naked!!
How do you know when MMA is going down the wrong road? When actual FIGHTERS dislike another fighter because they don't carry WWE-style microphone skills! Respect for fighters who take an ass whipping and win, but have you ever saw countries go to war and say "Gee, I think we need to purposely take alot of punishment and get our soldiers injured so we can prove that we are tough!" No! The goal is to inflict as much damage to achieve a victory and AVOID it just the same. The respect for the martial arts and the history is dissipating – now it's all wanna be tough guys and people who are tryin' to go commercial with it. Respect for the hard-working, intelligent fighters who get in the ring and perform their crafts to the highest degree. True students and fans of MMA appreciate how you do what you do!
sorry miguel but martial arts originated as a way to quickly and efficitently ELIMINATE your opponent in hand to hand combat. Martial Arts is not about scoring points and winning rounds. Pride FC had it right
So you understand what my comment was, from wikipedia:
Most people do not agree on the definition of exactly what the "Martial Art" is, so it would be very difficult to agree upon an origin. Components for the earliest use of the term Martial Art included refined fighting skills, code of honor or tenets of ethical conduct, philosophy of life, and spiritual enlightenment. While many forms of fighting, and combative training have been around since early human existence, the physical elements came together with mental and spiritual aspects in various forms of structured education, most notably throughout Asia.

Good for her, she is right, GSP does NOT try and finish people. He is boring….I hope Diaz beats the crap out of GSP.
That was me calling @ 1:26 in the video!!! Girl answer your Phone!!! Dam-It!!!
Cyborg, please knock this loud mouth bitch out
lol you GSP fanboys who are saying who the hell is Ronda Rousey have no idea what they are talking about. She is an olympic medalist you dorks. Do you understand how massive that alone is>?
That's nice and all but who watches the fucking Olympics? When was the last time you watched?
lol maybe 4 yrs ago?
You know you didn't watch. LOL
i sense some puppy love between diaz and rousey!
She entitled to her opinion like everyone else but I would rather her STFU because she is turning into a little gossiping whore. Fine stick up for Gina Carano but quit harassing Cris Cyborg and spreading rumors. It's making you seem childish and stupid. I like her more when her mouth is shut.
1. She trains with in BJJ with the Diaz brothers so her opinion is biased. Of course she is going to talk shit.
2. He has the highest PPV's in the UFC. How is that bad for the sport of MMA? These numbers keep fighters fighting and people employed.
3. If he is so bad for the sport how come he is still the champ? I hope he KO's your boyfriend Nick Diaz you fake BJ Penn fan.
ronda rousey and other females who act like men are bad for the sport.
She should really stop acting like a gossiping old woman.
yes mma is a sport, BUT…
She trains with the Diaz brothers so thats why she drinking that Koolaid
The truth hurts.gsp fan for 6 years.gsp fights safe and is a point fighter.
This isn't amateur wrestling. Gsp= #1 p4p holder and humper. He would be good at gay porn(you guys would love that huh?). The only reason this guy is such a ppv draw is because faggots like you guys and girls think he is cute, too bad for them he swings the other way. This guy doesn't even fight anymore. Oh by the way if you have to cheat wither it be grease or steroids OR BOLT H, you never deserve or earned any p4p status.
Sooo all you faggots get off his nuts. He is not gonna fuck you, word is he likes big black guys.
Did you know guys who talk about gay guys a lot, are usually gay themselves. Or in the closet. Don't know why your even thinking about gay guys. This is MMA, most of us here see fighters. You see gay guys. Hmmmmm. Guaranteed, you'd shit your underoos if you got locked in the cage with GSP. And don't even think about acting all tough and say you wouldn't. lol
Yeah he might try to hold me right? Look you fans are the ones who act like she's insulting your boyfriend, I just call it like I see it fag. Ha ha try to call me a queer. The old redirection strategy, huh? Talk, but if we knew each other you wouldn't. Guaranteed.
Who are u trying to kid..You blow dudes for sure..
Its all pretty simple gsp is the best because he fights the best fighters at their peaks.(when they are on winning streaks) just go look at hiss oppenents and see thay all had big win streaks b4 losing to gsp. his fights are "boring" because he his oppenents get outmatched in all areas of mma.. its pretty simple…wrestlers cant out wrestle him, strikers cant out strike him.. his oppenents seem to give up in all his fight but must be a coincindence
he hasnt fought in almost 2 years now cause hes been working on his cheerleading squad for toronto cheer competition in Febuary. true story….
Slap dat bit ch.
i dont like this bitch…she should be called cocky ronda…..but she is right gsp is terrible for the sport…he fights to out point y9uo and never to finish…he has lost all killer skills…he is too big now to finish like he use to…after the serra fight 2 he really changed his build to more bigger wreslter and his striking has seriously sufferd,,,he use to kick in the face and shit..now he just waits for the judges…..had he not stole the decision against bj in hte first fight maybe he would be more afraid to leev it to the judges…but he always gets lucky that fuker,,,,is gsp was main even against fitch i would not even buy the ppv…diaz and bj fights i buy all day….she is right about what she said..but she has only had 4 fights let alone had 3 or 4 runds to figh someone and feel what happens wheen u fight many rounds like gsp////gsp needs to move up to mw if he get threw nik and let new blood take the belt…gsp is coward saying he need prepare his body for mw..liar pussy he cut from 197 and shit,,,just cut 10 punds and fight anderson for big money…gsp will prob win cuz he can pay and prey like cheal…i hate gsp./..im canadian he was my fav until he switch his style up to coward trying hold the beelt
Really? His striking has suffered? Did you even watch any of his fights? All his opponents face was mashed up, like someone took baseball bats their heads. Ya…"striking has suffered". lol Fighting isn't about just knocking people out or submitting them. A lot of KOs are lucky punches, a lot of submissions are because the opponent is less skilled or made a mistake. But you can't say beating on someone and dominating them for 5 rounds is either lucky, or his opponents made a mistake. No…that's pure domination. Where his opponents literally just give up and try to last the fight. When you make your opponent feel, that maybe he shouldn't have said all those things, or that he shouldn't have probably taken the fight, and make break him mentally then physically, THAT's a fighter. That's the reason why Silva is so dominant as well. It's not about him knocking his opponents out, its because he makes them regret. That's true domination of another. Knocking out, or submitting is just icing on the cake, an added bonus. Look at the Shogun vs Hendo fight. Sure, it would have been cool to see a KO, but in hindsight, knowing how that fight ended going to decision, I wouldn't have had it any other way. That was one of the best fights I've seen EVER. To add the only reason why most people think GSPs fights are boring, whether you want to admit it or not, is because his opponents stop fighting him, and just back peddle trying to survive the rounds. Now if they actually kept on fighting like their lives depended on it, like Shogun did, I guarantee you those fights would go down in history as some of the best fights. And maybe, just maybe, a couple of them would have had a better chance in beating GSP.
Damn, Shawn can you get his nuts any further down your throat? Fuckin' kids.
Wipe your chin douchebag
I guess she only watch Fedor fights. With the exception of the Fitch fight, all of St.Pierre's fights were very entertaining. Sure he hasn't finished in a while, but beating on guys for 5 rounds (and it shows on their face at the end the fight) is just as entertaining as first or second round sub or KO. In some ways, it's even more. Because you see someone just getting mauled for 5 rounds. I really don't understand why people think he just tries to win on points, or that he isn't exciting, or that he just "lays and prays". I guess if your a fan of quick KOs and Subs, you would. But true fight fans are about good fights. And there have been plenty of great fights that have gone the distance. She's young, she'll figure it out soon. I like Ronda, but she hasn't been around long enough, and hasn't fought anyone significant to have that opinion. At least have an opinion that matters. And by the way Ronda, Nick Diaz has very similar style to GSP. They both like to work the jab. Jab, jab, jab, wear down the opponent. The only difference is, Diaz's opponents end up giving up and getting TKO'd. Where as GSP's opponents, just get more beat up and go to decision. I think Penn was the only guy that Diaz has beaten up that bad. GSP does that kind of damage to ALL his opponents. Well, except for Shields. But he got still got his licks, and he got it from a one-eyed fighter for 3 rounds. Don't hate…educate.
GSP and Diaz are NOT similar. Top me they are Polar opposites.
I like the humbleness of GSP, but he doesn't have any where near the fighter mentality of DIAZ.
She is a human being and she is entitled to her opinion. You guys are pathetic.
she's annoying…
I like Ronda and agree GSP is very bad for the support. He is a point fighter not a martial artist.
MMA is fighting. To a fighter its not about entertainment, its about winning.
This video made me like her a little bit.She just needs to stop trying to be like Chael Sonnan already. That is a recipe for people to hate you. I agree with her about GSP. He is well rounded, but if he is the best show it. Be like Anderson Silva and show it. Fu@k people up with authority. I don't think any of his last 6 or so fights were entertaining. His fights before Serra were exciting, not since.
Ronda rousey loves B.J`s
But she (Ronda) is the real deal.
DAMN SHAWN.You actually find GSP entertaining.thats interesting because to most people,"Keeping ur opponent away with just by jabbing to avoid actually fighting."And GSPs famous "FITCHING,"to avoid fighting.People find boring and chicken shit…
You must have never bought a PPV fight with YOUR OWN $.
As for Ronda,I agree with her 100%.GSP hasnt been entertaining in years.Every fighter out there is paid to put on a show.Especially the damn champion!
These tap jabs and dry humps are not entertaining!!!

You have to feel a bit sorry for the LG Revolution. Unlike it's name implies, it didn't quite revolutionize Verizon's 4G LTE lineup, coming in after the the HTC Thunderbolt and Droid Charge and with the Droid Bionic looming over the horizon. It hasn't been helped much by so-so specs and LG's clunky custom user interface. For these reasons it comes as no surprise that Verizon has dropped the Revolution to $199, making it the network's lowest-priced LTE handset. The new price still probably won't be enough to start a revolution, but it may help Big Red move a few more units off shelves. Anyone biting at the new price?

Concord, N.C. (July 22, 2013) – Roush Fenway Racing and Travis Pastrana announced today a unique tribute that will see the No. 60 Ford Mustang carry the X Games colors at both Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Iowa Speedway.
"X Games are the single biggest action sports event in the world," said Pastrana. "I've been able to make a career out of having fun and pushing the limits because of the platform provided by this event. I love everything about it."
The paint scheme serves as homage to Pastrana's 17 X Games medals and draws attention to his participation in NASCAR and the X Games in the same weekend. Immediately following the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Iowa Speedway, Pastrana will depart for Los Angeles to participate in LA X Games RallyCross.
Pastrana's X Games accomplishments are legendary, racking up 17 medals, including 11 gold. He brought home his first gold medal in 1999 as the youngest competitor to win in freestyle motocross. In 2006 Pastrana put himself in rare company, winning three gold medals in a single X Games, which included the famous feat of landing a double-backflip on a motorcycle, the first person to ever do so.
"NASCAR and the X Games have a lot that cross over, but they are still worlds apart," said Pastrana. "So far I've shown the action sports community how difficult NASCAR truly is, but my goal is to show the NASCAR community how talented and determined action sports athletes can be. There will be a lot of pressure on me from the action sports side when I roll onto the track with this paint scheme, but I usually thrive under pressure."
The 29-year-old made the switch to full-time NASCAR Nationwide Series competition at the start of the season, teaming up with Roush Fenway Racing in the historic No. 60 Ford Mustang. Pastrana started the season off at Daytona International Speedway with his first top-10 finish and has since followed that up with a pole and two more top-10s, including a ninth-place finish in Richmond, his career best finish to date.
"This is a huge opportunity for me to be able to bring some eyes from NASCAR over to the X Games and vice versa," said Pastrana. "It's never easy to compete and be competitive in more than one discipline, but I've made a career out of doing that. No matter what, that weekend will be a lot of fun. I haven't won an event yet this year and it's a good time to turn the season around."
Viewers can watch the NASCAR Nationwide Series live on ESPN at Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 4:30 p.m. ET July 27 and on ESPN2 from Iowa Speedway at 8 p.m. ET August 3. X Games RallyCross airs on ESPN at 5 p.m. ET August 4.
Roush Fenway Racing is the winningest team in NASCAR history, fielding multiple teams in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series' with championship drivers Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Trevor Bayne and Travis Pastrana. Having celebrated 25 winning years in 2012, Roush Fenway is the leader in NASCAR marketing solutions, pioneering motorsport's first team-focused TV show and its award-winning marketing campaigns for RickyvsTrevor.com, "25 Winning Years" and Google+.

Power outage likely again today
July 31, 2006
TVA has notified us that we are in a power Alert 1 status. Curtailment of MSU power without notice is a high probability again today, August 1, 2006. TWO OF TVA'S MAIN GENERATING UNITS REMAIN OUT OF COMMISSION TODAY. The possibility for having to kill MSU electrical power without warning is greatest from now until when the system loads peak this evening. TVA has already asked their VPI Users to get off line today (we are now a FPI User).
Please reduce any energy use you can. Back up your computer work and take action to mitigate any projects that might be in danger should we have to dump the campus load without notice. We will only do this if we are directed to by TVA but the possibility of having to do so is high.

Wow one year already? Congrats to all the happy couples that got married this year!
Well, ultimately many people ARE too stupid to take care of themselves. But that doesn't mean there should be a ban on such things. If folks want to drink that crap, they should be allowed to.
Such nice language. Did the Pope teach you that?
Yes clearly...liberal politics caused it to be 101 degrees yesterday.
And here I thought it was all the hot air coming out of Faux News. Silly me.
I'm with you on hoping the hot weather is long gone before then!
Does it say anywhere that the person who shot him was from a different country? No? Didn't think so.
What article are you referring to?
Frankly, considering the quality (or lack thereof) of comments on this site, I don't even know why they allow them at all.
A proper defense is fine. Starting unnecessary wars and blowing a ton of taxpayer money to fund lies? Not so fine.
The idea that only people who are rich or "elite" support the arts is just plain wrong and ignorant. If you ever actually went to a concert (and I'm sure you didn't), you would find people of all walks of life at them.
Oh please...not this tired argument again.
Very few, if any, people wear tuxedos and fancy dress to concerts anymore. Most people go middle of the road and wear nice slacks and a button down shirt or a sweater. I've even seen people wearing jeans to concerts nowadays.
I don't think you actually know what "troll" means. Disagreeing with someone is not trolling.
Yeah the 25 cents you spend a year on the arts through your taxes is so outrageous.
I'd like to stop having the Neocons spend my money the way think it should be spent. So please tell them to stop spending my money on war and start spending it on something like the arts or science or education instead.
Oh there was crappy music back in the day. It's just been weeded out over the years so we're only left with the really good stuff. That being said what we today call "classical" music WAS popular during their time. Operas were hugely popular and were great entertainment for people of all walks of life. Nowadays it's considered "highbrow classical" or "elite." But it wasn't so during the time it was put on, especially the more comic operas by people like Mozart.
I find a lot of people simply haven't TRIED classical music, just as they haven't tried gourmet food. I teach music appreciation classes to people who aren't music majors and it's amazing how little classical music people have even been exposed to. I've turned a number of students onto classical, people who never could have imagined listening to it until someone essentially MADE them. Many of my students have expressed dismay at the SSO's demise.
The funny thing is that classical music is far more rich, far more diverse, and far more complicated than popular music. The other day I must have hit my radio when I set the alarm because it wasn't on the regular station. I woke up to a song whose lyrics were pretty much "baby baby, oh...baby baby, oh" instead of, say, Beethoven. I'd liken THAT to cheese pizza. Plain, boring, not much going for it, kind of crappy (ok so the song was REALLY crappy), not much creativity put into it. Classical music is far more like gourmet pizza. So maybe the analogy should be more than sometimes you just want plain old boring cheese pizza instead of going gourmet.
Except that those of us who LIKE classical music wouldn't buy tickets to some "big name artist" unless they WERE classical. I don't want to pay good money to see an orchestra accompany some crappy rock band.
I'm so sorry that we want like 25 cents out of your pocket to support something that is culturally redeeming. If only we could all choose where our tax money went. Then I could send ALL of mine to arts and education and none of it to wars. Gosh that would be nice.
As if everyone who listens to NPR and loves classical music is rich. Boy I sure wish THAT were true. I give what I can, but I'm lower middle class at best so it's not like I have thousands or even hundreds of dollars to give.
I seem to recall a breakdown of our taxes from a couple years ago and the amount spent on arts for each person was less than $1. So acting like you're spending half your income on the arts isn't getting you anywhere. You probably lose more change in a year than you spend on the arts.
Like wars? Pork barrel projects that are meaningless? Yeah we better make sure we can support that stuff!
...^^^typical uneducated response^^^...

Madison, Wis. – Following a successful pilot, Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation is dramatically expanding its Career Ready Internship grant, awarding $5.2 million in new grants to 40 colleges and universities in four states to help students with financial need reap the educational and career-boosting benefits of paid internships.
Colleges receiving grants will collaborate with local businesses and nonprofits to develop new paid internships and convert existing unpaid internships into paid opportunities. When internships are unpaid, students who can't afford to work for free miss the chance to gain a competitive edge in the job market. These new internships will give juniors and seniors with any level of financial need real-world experience within their field of study, and a better chance at competing with their wealthier peers for jobs after graduation.
Great Lakes tested the idea with a $2.5 million commitment to 19 Wisconsin colleges and universities during the 2013-2014 academic year. Participating in an internship did more than just provide these students with a paycheck; it improved their odds of progressing toward college completion. In fact, 98 percent of interns either re-enrolled the next semester or graduated. The 2014-2015 grant opportunity was offered again in Wisconsin, and expanded to include colleges in Iowa, Minnesota, and Ohio.
"We place a premium on ideas that work, and our Career Ready Internship grants help level the playing field for students who receive financial aid," said Richard D. George, Great Lakes' president and chief executive officer. "This program has the added benefit of developing relationships of lasting value between colleges and employers."
This year, Great Lakes philanthropy will make a positive impact on more than 2,000 students who might not otherwise consider—and profit from—an internship. Recipients of the 2014-2015 Career Ready Internship Grants are:

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Its time for the Cleveland Indians to drop their name and Chief Wahoo mascot, an Ohio state senator says.
Eric Kearney, a Democrat from Cincinnati, introduced a resolution Wednesday that would encourage the baseball team to adopt a new name and mascot, citing racial insensitivity. He also sent a letter to Indians owner Lawrence Dolan urging a change.
With the Indians in the midst of a four-game series with Cincinnati, Kearney said its the right time to introduce the resolution. The Legislature is on summer break.
American Indians and others have protested the use of the logo for years at the teams annual home opener, complaining that the mascot mocks them and their heritage. Its part of a national debate over the use of Indian nicknames in sports that has regained momentum in recent months, particularly the campaign to get the NFLs Washington Redskins to change their name. In June, a federal trademark board ruled the Redskins trademarks protections should be canceled because the team name is disparaging to Native Americans.
At an unrelated Thursday news conference, Indians President Mark Shapiro said the Chief Wahoo mascot represents the heritage of the team and the ballpark and will remain in place. He added that the team will continue to build and promote the use of the block C.
Kearney, who said hes a big baseball fan, didnt expect major change right away but said Thursday hes asking for a discussion to occur. Retiring the Indians name and mascot would show that much has changed in the 100 years since the name was adopted, he said.
Kearney is the former running mate of Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald. He withdrew from the ticket in December amid questions about tax liens.

Psychological evaluations consist of a battery of standardized psychological tests, interviews, third party background information, and reviews of records. This provides a psychologist with information about a person's level of functioning. Diakonos offers psychological assessments which evaluate intellectual, academic, learning difficulties, neuropsychological, behavioral, emotional, and social issues.
Intellectual and academic testing looks at a person's potential to understand and apply new information. This aids in understanding what a person is capable of cognitively and whether there are any learning issues. Testing provides insight into any learning disorders, ADHD, or emotional problems which are contributing to difficulties in school performance.
Emotional and personality testing measure how the person is functioning on an emotional level. The battery of tests Diakonos uses look at all issues across the mental health spectrum. For example, you may have an individual who is presenting with oppositional or angry behavior. The testing can aid in understanding which emotional factors are leading to these kinds of behaviors. Often people who are acting out with oppositional behaviors are actually depressed and are acting out because they do not understand why they are feeling bad. Personality testing can also give information into how the individual relates to others, how they view the world, and what general expectations they may have of the world.
Diakonos believes the true value of psychological testing is to provide a tool for aiding with developing a treatment plan. Testing will provide diagnoses in order to fully understand the needs of the person, as well as an understanding of their internal process which is not typically apparent on the outside. A full assessment can help the treatment team understand the level of care an individual needs in order to move the process along faster.
A full battery of psychological testing can be used to determine difficulties in the following areas:
|Learning Disorders
|Bipolar Disorder
|Oppositional Defiant Disorder
|Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder
|Asperger's Disorder
|Nonverbal Learning Disorder
|Thought Disorders
|Substance Abuse
|Anger Issues
|Personality Disorder
|Social Issues
|Violence Risk Assessment
|Manipulative Behaviors
|Executive Functioning
|Academic Skills
|Language Processing
|Adjustment Disorders
|Mental Retardation
|Panic Disorders
|Phobic Disorders
|Impulse Control

What are the benefits of testing ?
Psychological testing is generally most helpful in determining the factors which have hindered emotional, academic, behavioral, vocational, and social functioning. It is helpful for determining any cognitive difficulties or impairments, as well as developmental delays. Psychological testing is also an excellent tool for aiding with the development of a treatment plan and determining what type of treatment would work best for an individual.
How long does the assessment take ?
This largely depends on the tests being administered and the goal(s) of the testing. Generally, a full battery of tests can take up to 8-10 hours.
What is involved in a psychological evaluation ?
Because a psychological assessment is designed to determine functioning in a range of areas, it is important to take a thorough medical, developmental, and academic achievement history. Prior testing will likely be requested if available. The examiner will also connect with the professional working with the client to gain further information. Psychological tests are primarily paper and pencil tests which often consistent mainly of True/False questions. Intellectual testing is usually administered with the examiner. The examiner may ask the patient to answer questions, solve different types of problems, learn new information, etc. No physically invasive procedures are ever involved.
When will I get my results ?
A full written report is completed about 2 weeks after all of the information has been gathered. The examiner will be available to discuss any questions, as well as treatment recommendations afterward. Reports are written in language which minimizes psychological jargon and are generally easy to understand.
A report by the examiner will provide the diagnoses for which a person meets criteria. A diagnosis is a description of a cluster of symptoms. The majority of diagnoses listed in the DSM-IV-TR are considered to be "treatable," and do not mean a person is stuck with a certain label for the rest of their lives. A diagnosis is helpful in aiding mental health professionals to understand what difficulties a client is experiencing and helps with directing treatment.
May I see the raw data ?
Psychological test materials are copyrighted and protected by the publisher to preserve the integrity of the measures and to ensure the validity and utility of their administration. Only professionals who are specifically trained to administer these tests and properly interpret results are permitted access to raw data and test materials.

Three school systems in Maryland were in the top five in per-pupil spending among the largest K-12 school systems in the U.S., according to 2010 census data released Thursday.
Of the 50 largest school systems in the U.S., Montgomery County Public Schools was second in per-pupil spending, only to the New York City School District. Montgomery spent $15,582 per student, while New York spent $19,597 per student.
Baltimore City Public Schools was third, spending on average $14,711 per student, and Prince George's County Public Schools was fifth, at $14,019. Milwaukee Public Schools was fourth, at $14,038.
The average per-pupil spending nationally in 2010 was $10,615, according to the data.
Montgomery County students and parents get their money's worth, Superintendent of Schools Joshua P. Starr said Thursday.
"Our kids get a top quality education, and our taxpayers get a very good return on investment," he said.
Joan Fidler, president of the Montgomery County Taxpayers League, said she questions the claim that student achievement would drop if the school system cut back spending by a small percentage, such as 5 percent.
Fidler said that Montgomery County Public Schools needs to re-examine the way it spends money. The school system devotes too much of its funding to adults — such as teacher and staff salaries and benefits — rather than to children, she said.
"A lot of [student success] comes from motivated students and parental involvement," she said. "I think we discount that, especially in Montgomery County."
Starr noted that the school system was honored for its spending efficiency when it won a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2010.
When comparing spending in school systems across the nation, it is important to remember that the cost of doing business is higher in the county and along the East Coast, Starr said.
All nine states in the Northeast ranked among the top 15 in per pupil spending in 2010.
Maryland ranked ninth nationally in 2010, with an average of $13,738 per student; the District of Columbia was first at $18,667, and Virginia ranked 25th at $10,597.
