Curtis Martin leads 6 into Pro Football HOF
By Josh Katzowitz
INDIANAPOLIS -- The official 2012 Pro Football Hall of Fame class is official, and center Dermontti Dawson, defensive end Chris Doleman, defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, running back Curtis Martin, left tackle Willie Roaf and senior selection Jack Butler will be enshrined this summer.
That means Aeneas Williams, Cris Carter, Andre Reed, Charles Haley and Bill Parcells, who made up the rest of the 10 finalist spots, were denied in the final vote by the selection committee.
While the biggest stunner of the night was that Parcells didn't make the Hall* -- I think most media members collectively agreed that he was the one guy who would make it in -- this is another year with the committee not selecting a single wide receiver. Before the selection show ever began, Tim Brown showed his displeasure on Twitter, writing "Raider nation!! Don't bother to watch tonight they passed on me again!! In fact, no wrs made it again. Gotta get some of y'all in there!"
Martin, meanwhile, was ecstatic at making the cut. He said he didn't deserve to make the Hall last year with Marshall Faulk on the list but that he felt better about his chacnes this year.
"They are a different class," Martin said during a phone interview on the NFL Network. "This year, my chances were a little better. When it was winding down to the show got close to starting, I felt a different kind of nervousness than I did last year."
*CBSSports.com's Clark Judge makes the case that if the Giants win Super Bowl XLVI and Tom Coughlin gets his second title, that will hinder Parcell's chances.
And our colleague Mike Freeman explains that he's stunned by the development. "I'm not a fan of Parcells," Freeman wrote. "He treated many people in my business terribly and wasn't exactly a great human being but to me, in history, there are few better coaches."
Even though Parcells didn't get in this year, he'll get the chance to present Martin.
"That's not a big decision for me," he said. "It's simple. There's no one I'd rather have present me than Bill Parcells. That man has meant everything in my career."
Among those who didn't make the cut from 15 to 10: former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo, Will Shields, Kevin Greene, Tim Brown and Jerome Bettis.
Here's more reaction from the class.
Chris Doleman: "I'm blessed to be in this position. I'm very honored. ... There was a moment when you go through this process where you're like, 'If it happen, it happens. If it don't, it don't.' But I tell you what, when they call your name, you're numb. There are times when you ask yourself why you're getting the short end of the stick even though you're blessed -- maybe you might have been overlooked -- but I've always had the respect of my peers and my family, and I tried to go out to play to that level."
As for who will present Doleman, he pointed to his son, Evan: "I watched LT's (Lawrence Taylor) son present him. I watched Walter Payton's present him. I was fortunate enough to have a son who can speak on my behalf."
Cortez Kennedy: "(Former Miami Hurricanes coach) Randy Shannon, my roommate at the University of Miami, he taught me how to get in shape and played mind games on me so I could become a better person. He was very instrumental in my football days."
Dermontti Dawson: "This is something my kids can take their kids to see, that you're enshrined in the Hall of Fame and immortalized where they can bring family from here on out to see what their grandad did. It's a great honor."

Curtis Martin leads 6 into Pro Football HOF
Chris Carter sure as shit shouldn't get in if sterling sharpe can't. Sharpe had better numbers over a seven year Span than Carter, brown, reed, and rice. I would also put them all ahead of Carter who refused to go over the middle and has shown himself to be a petty crybaby ever since he became eligible. If he was as good as he thinks he was, he'd be in already.

Curtis Martin leads 6 into Pro Football HOF
First off, your pre-professional career has NOTHING do to with HOF voting, they are told not to vote based on anything off the field. Secondly, Cris Carter had the record in receptions at OSU despite missing out on his final year of eligibility. Retiring 2nd in catches and 2nd in TD's is no joke. Especially when the first 3 years of your career were slow. Imagine the stats he could've had if he had been starting all them games. He's 1 of only 2 receivers ever to have 2 120+ catch seasons.
Seems to surely be Hall of Fame worthy to me. If not a first ballot, he should've been in on his 2nd try at the latest, it's a joke he has to wait next year and go against Tim Brown and Reed again. Whoever else is on the ballot shouldn't effect his chances.

The Hall of Fame isn't becoming a joke, It's the VOTERS that have become a JOKE!!!!! How can Cris Carter (Or any player) not be good enough one year, but a few years later, without putting on a single pad or playing 1 snap in a game, he suddenly becomes worthey???
I say get rid of the "voters" and START OVER!!! Hall of Fame inductees should be included in the voting process. Who's better to say if a player is hall worthy than the guys that played against them???
Maybe some media members also, but the ones doing it now clearly have a "Holier than thou" complex and should be thrown aside!!!! START OVER!!!!!

Couldn't agree more. Andre Reed was a really good player, but he wasn't good enough to be in the HOF. Carter and Brown should both be in...

Chris Carter wasn't elite at his position, are you kidding me. He was a second best receiver while he was playing behind only Jerry Rice and definitely top ten all-time. The best hands EVER....get that right. He was far more elite at his position then Bettis and Martin so you are talking out of your XXX. Michael Irvin, Art Monk, Don Maynard, Swann, Stallworth, the list goes on and on with players who couldn't compare stats wise with Cris Carter's numbers. The hall of fame is becoming a joke

Project Financing
July 15, 2013-Second High School BondAt the July 15, 2013 School Board meeting, the Board took action to proceed towards issuance of the final bond issue to fund the High School Renovation Project. The official action appointed Tim Frenz of Janney Capital Markets as financial advisor and Jim Webster of Houston Harbaugh as Bond Counsel. The final amount and structure of the bond issue will be discussed at the August 12 Board meeting. Initial indication from the Board is that $32,950,000 should be considered as the amount of the bond issue which would wrap around current debt service payments to reduce the millage impact on the community to an estimated increase of .18 to .19 mills per year for three years totaling .56 additional mills.Financing Update Presentation
The School Board voted to set the maximum cost of the High School project at $113, 274,765. To help give homeowners an idea of how much the debt on the project will cost them, the District Business Office prepared a list of assessed home prices in $25,000 increments ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 to show the tax impact on homes for each year of the High School debt implementation. The chart focuses only on debt related to the High School project. Keep in mind that the final bond issue is projected and estimated at the maximum cost of the project and does not include potential savings in building operations, asbestos removal, contingencies, bids or use of other funds. Click here for the chart. January 19, 2010-- In an effort to clarify the percentage of reimbursement from the State for the High School project, it is important to understand that there are two reimbursable percentages: one architectural and one financial. Purpose of Percentage Reimbursement: The State agrees to help schools finance building construction based on use of facilities formulas and relative wealth of the schools in the Commonwealth.
Architectural Project Percentage Reimbursement: The architectural project percentage reimbursement is different for each project type and size. New construction and renovation carry different percentage rates as do instructional space use compared to non-instructional space. These percentages can only be set once a type and size of project is chosen. Our architects estimated early that the State would reimburse us about 11% of the cost of the high school project. They prepared their calculations based on complex formulas of reimbursable space for various uses of the new and renovated portions of the building. That number changed as the space within the facility was allocated and reallocated. It is currently estimated at 16.3%.
Financial Project Percentage Reimbursement from the State: The way the State provides funding to the District is through the PlanCon process. This process begins with the architectural reimbursable percentage (16.3%) and multiplies it by actual debt payments for the project and then by the District�s market value aid ratio. The District�s aid ratio for this purpose is .4900% in 2009-10. When the two ratios are merged, we calculate our financial reimbursable percentage at 8%. Note that the District�s aid ratio changes every year. It has been rising, thus increasing this financial reimbursable percentage in recent years.
How the money is provided to the District: As the District makes its annual debt service payments on the High School, the State rebates 8% of the cost back to the District. The percentage is applied both to the principal and interest of the bond payment. So the architectural dollar cost reimbursement is never a completely accurate accounting for the State�s share of the project. The total funds rebated to the District are paid over the life of the bonds issued, not in a lump sum.
According to the financial advisors, the total cost of both the 2009 Series A bonds and the estimated future bonds for the project including principal and interest could be $180,681,924. If the District�s aid ratio does not change, and the architectural percentage reimbursement does not change, then the District will receive 8% of these principal and interest payments totaling $14,431,065 over the life of the bonds. If the District�s aid ratio continues to rise, then the District will receive more money than that from the State.
PlanCon Process: The setting of the Architectural Project Percentage Reimbursement begins in PlanCon Part D and is revised and finalized through PlanCon Part J. So before PlanCon Part D begins, this number is very fluid and difficult to forecast. As the architects reported, they have been working to increase this percentage in their work with the project.
Prior Projects� Reimbursable Percentages: The elementary project architectural percentage reimbursement is final at 40.63%. The middle school projects are final at 48.57% and 61.75% on two different bond issues. (Compare to High School 16.3%).
These architectural percentages are applied to the appropriate debt service payments for earlier bonds and then multiplied by our aid ratio. In 2009-10, the actual financial percentage reimbursement on all our outstanding reimbursable bonds averaged 22%. (Compare to high school 8%)
In early forecasts of financial reimbursement, we looked at our elementary and middle school financial percentage reimbursement of 22% and estimated that the high school would be lower. As a result early financial bond models used a financial reimbursable rate of 15-16%. We received the first detailed reimbursement estimates from the architects in the form of a draft of PlanCon Part D on September 2, 2009, and the financial summaries changed at that time to reflect the 8.35% financial reimbursable ratio at that time. This percentage was used in a presentation made to the Board on September 14, 2009 and in the summaries made during the pricing of the 2009 Series A General Obligation Bonds in October 2009. Since that time, the percentage has been revised to be the 8% currently being projected by revised draft PlanCon Part D project calculations.October 19, 2009-The $69 million bonds for the high school were sold on Thursday, October 1, 2009 at interest rates of 3.5974%. This is a historically low rate for a tax-exempt bond issue which resulted in favorable debt service payments for the community. The District will receive just over $75 million due to the fact that these were premium bonds and sold higher than their face value. The District is reviewing investment options for the proceeds with financial advisors. The funds will be available to be invested on Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Interest earnings on unused proceeds will be used to pay for costs of the project and will reduce the additional money needed to be borrowed in the next couple years to complete the project.Related DocumentsHigh School Bond Schedule General Obligation Bonds Series 2009 ASeptember 16, 2009 --At the Board meeting on Monday, September 14, the Board heard from financial advisor, Tim Frenz from Janney Montgomery Scott, concerning the option of issuing the first debt of $69 million to begin funding the High School Project. This is only the first bond issue as the project is expected to cost over $100 million. A second bond issue can be sized and sold once the total cost of the project is known. Mr. Frenz reported that interest rates were near historically low levels and that this is a good time for the Board to consider issuance of the first bonds for the project. He reported that even though this is a few months before the Board will need the bulk of the money, the historically low interest rates will offset the additional interest cost from the early issuance. He reported that if interest rates rise only .07% to .1% over the next few months, the District will pay as much total interest over the life of the bonds as will be incurred by this early issuance at these low rates. Additionally, issuance now will allow the current costs for architects and construction manager services to be paid from these bonds rather than from capital projects money set aside for projects around the District.
An additional issue discussed was whether or not the bonds should be issued tax-exempt or taxable under a new federal program called �Build America Bonds� (BABs). He pointed out that rates under the BABs structure would result in slightly less interest over the twenty five years of the bond life, but would result in fewer funds for the construction project by just under $4 million. The Board discussed the relative merits of borrowing the additional money now with interest rates so low under the tax exempt process compared to borrowing less money under the BABs process risking higher interest rates on the next bond issue which would have to be about $4 million higher.
The Board will be reviewing the information presented and any additional information available before they make a decision on Monday, September 21, about whether or not to give approval to proceed with the bond sale. Once the Board approves issuance of the bonds, the financial advisor, bond counsel, solicitor and administration will work with the underwriter, Merrill Lynch, to complete the sale over the next month or two assuming rates remain at or near these low levels.Related DocumentsHigh School Projected Financing Summary
August 10, 2009 � The School Board authorized the issuance of $69 million in bonds for the High School Renovation Project in 2006. Those bonds must be issued by February, 2010 or we begin to lose part of the $69 million in principal. As a result, those bonds will likely be issued late in 2009 or early in 2010. We will then have the ability to wait until the project is bid and final costs are known before we issue the remaining bonds for the project. If we are able to obtain construction bids below current estimates, we would be able to float a bond issue smaller than the $46 million currently being discussed. In any case, when the size of a second bond issue is discussed, the Board at that time can decide to issue bonds with either a flat amount of payment each year or bonds which wrap around current debt to minimize the millage increase to the community at that time.
To Wrap or not to Wrap � By state law, we can issue two types of bonds. One type is like a mortgage where each year�s payment is essentially the same as the year before. This type of bond structure, known as level debt, results in low interest payments over the life of the bonds, but a fixed annual payment which does not look at other debt payments already committed by the school district.
The other type of bonds permitted under law is wrapped debt which looks at the current payments due on all other bond issues and makes the combination of old and new payments level. It would be as if we already had a car payment and wanted lower mortgage payments for the years we had to pay off the car and then bigger mortgage payments after the car was paid off. By wrapping the new bonds around the old bond payments we can level the total payments for all debt service creating lower millage costs in each of the years of the new bonds. The downside is that we hold off paying part of the principal until the annual payments grow and that involves paying more interest over the life of the new bonds.
The $69 million of bonds already approved must be level debt. The Board will decide on the structure of the second bond schedule when that issue is discussed in a few years.Related DocumentsAugust 10, 2009High School Project Financing DiscussionMt.

We're reporting on WKYT that Lexington attorney Foster Ockerman, Junior is making the rounds and indicating strong interest in being the Democratic nominee for the 75th district state house seat. That's the seat that Representative Kathy Stein plans to leave vacant as she runs for the state senate seat that Ernesto Scorsone is leaving to run for circuit judge. Who's on first?
Ockerman has practiced law for many years and has a commanding voice and strong presence. He was also involved in the water condemnation issue on the side of the city taking over Kentucky American Water. The 56-year old has thought about political runs before… but sees opportunity with the opening.
Another candidate expressing interest is Unitarian minister Kelly Flood. She quickly contacted Democratic leaders when Stein made her senate intentions known. It will be up to party insiders to pick nominees from both major parties, since it's too late for a primary. The district also has a higher than usual number of independent voters and non-partisan candidates can file until August 12th.
Bunning Calls Mortgage Loan Rescue "Socialism"
Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning isn't mincing words in his criticism of a proposed bailout of the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae federal loan programs. A top congressional budget estimate puts the cost of the rescue at $25 Billion. That has sent Bunning into orbit.. calling it "socialism." President Bush is for the loan rescue program. Bunning was also tough on top federal reserve officials who appeared before him last week.
McConnell Ads Hit Lunsford
Senator Mitch McConnell who wants to win a term that would give him 30-years in congress is dredging up some ammunition against his opponent from nearly 30 years ago. McConnell's latest ad talks about how then Kentucky Commerce Secretary Bruce Lunsford supported and worked for an automatic indexing of the state gasoline tax.
The spot also features a clip of Lunsford from fairly recently, talking about having worked for the trigger feature in the state gas tax. McConnell's spot is being run on a heavy schedule. It comes after Lunsford recently went across the state, pumping gas at local stations and calling attention to the gas prices. There's been no Lunsford response ad yet.
Beshear Takes Swipe At Herald Leader
Despite criticism… Governor Steve Beshear says he will continue to take cabinet members with him on his 5-week, 13 stop town hall meeting tour. He says it's important for members of his team to get out and meet the public and exchange ideas. The governor was criticized over the weekend, when the The Lexington Herald Leader reported that the cost of transporting 3 plane loads of people from Frankfort to Pike County was more than $7,000. It comes at a time when Beshear has ordered state government to find ways to tighten its belt and find ways to save on fuel costs.
At his second meeting in Somerset (to which he and others were driven by car)… Beshear said it would've cost more to bring 400 people from Pike County to Frankfort to meet face to face. And he said he would not curtail his planned town hall meetings "to please the Herald Leader."
Lawson Will Seek 3rd Term As Richmond Mayor
Many local political leaders are looking ahead to 2010 and making decisions about 'whether' they are going to seek re-election or try for something else.
But Richmond Mayor Connie Lawson makes it clear she plans to seek re-election. Lawson says she surprised even herself when she ran for a second term in 2006. But she calls her post a "tremendous honor" and says there are new challenges ahead as her city continues to grow. Lawson says 'on the job seasoning' has led her to be more careful when considering issues affecting the 31,000 people who call Richmond, the state's 6th largest city, home.
Madison County has a lot of long serving public officials…. Judge Executive Kent Clark has been in office since 1993 and State Representative Harry Moberly was first elected in 1980. Even EKU President Doug Whitlock spent 40-years as a student, professor and administrator before coming out of retirement to lead the university. Few incumbents are ever bounced from office there.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: ocean10000
I am a university student living in dorm where my local area network ip is 10.6.10.170. I am currently doing my final year project on asp.net web services. I set up my web site using IIS 5.0 on a XP.
Is it possible for the others to access my website on the Internet? How should I configure the IIS?
(Coz I don't have a real ip)
is it possible to make it like: [10.6.10.170...]
Do I need to need to make it through the DNS server in order to have a domain name?
There is a good chance that your ip will change so you may have to update your ip sometimes. Do a search for dynamic dns for some information to automate that.
[10.6.10.170...] will work but only the people at your school can see it. Go to one of your neighbors and type that in and see if it works. If it does not there is nothing you can do.
If you have access to the people's machines, you can bypass DNS altogether. Just put an entry in their hosts file (\<windows directory>\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.). The entry should look like this:
10.6.10.170 www.whateveriwanttocallmydomain.com
Then in the web browsers they can just put in www.whateveriwanttocallmydomain.com into the address line and it will get to your web site.

Austin Social Scene is pleased to present its
19th annual New Year's Eve Gala
The DoubleTree Austin North
6505 North Interstate Highway 35 at La Posada
Thursday, December 31, 2009
Austin Social Scene's Annual New Year's Eve Gala has earned a reputation as one of the most unique party experiences in the nation. For 19 years, Austin's professional singles, couples and groups have come together to celebrate the New Year with style and elegance, long past the stroke of midnight.
This year, Austin's only nonstop, all-night New Year's Eve party will take place at The DoubleTree Austin North, 6505 North IH-35 at La Posada.
For guests with hotel packages, the evening begins at 7pm with a complimentary pre-party at the hotel with an open bar and light hors d'oeuvres. During the pre-party, attending guests will be given early entrance to the Main Ballroom so they may secure themselves the best seats in the house.
The Gala will begin at 8pm and the party will kick off immediately with live music and cash bars conveniently located throughout the hotel offering premium liquor, imported and domestic beer, champagne and fine wines from around the world.
In the main ballroom, there will be two of Austin's hottest dance bands THE NEWSBOYZ and L C ROCKS
Two additional bands will play on the second stage in the hotel THE CRUSH and VALLEJO
The DADDIOS will play on the third stage in the Dover Room
Gala Tickets
If you are only purchasing tickets, and not the hotel package, the cost is $50 per person until December 25th, and $60 thereafter and at the door the night of the Gala. Single tickets provide admission for one to the Gala, and access to the after-parties at the hotel.
Hotel Packages
The cost of The Gala/Hotel Package is $329.00 plus tax. The package includes your accommodations at the Hotel and admission for two to the pre-party, the Gala and the after-parties. However, the earlier that you make reservations, the more money you will save on the package If you book prior to November 24th, the cost will be $239 plus tax, a savings of $90. Be sure to book your reservations early because as usual, the hotel definitely will sell out.

Chillicothe Paint's first baseman Giancarlo Brugnoni isn't losing his cool during an early-season slump.
- Filed Under
Giancarlo Brugnoni doesn't move much in the batter's box. He's calm, still and patient.
In Friday's final game of the Chillicothe Paints' two-game series with Lorain County at V.A. Memorial Stadium, the Paints had clawed their way out of a 6-3 hole with a rally in the middle innings, and Lorain County reliever Zach Beaver had recorded the first two outs of the ninth inning before Brugnoni took his stance for his fifth at-bat of the night. He was 0-for-4 with a strikeout.
In 2012, Brugnoni led the Prospect League in home runs with 20 and tied for first in RBI with 66. You can bet Brugnoni was thinking ...

Annual Report - 1996-1997
Lung cancer, 1992
Surgery, chemoprevention
Native Houstonian, attended University of Houston two years, former owner of advertising agency and radio station, started homebuilding company in 1973
Traveling, musicals, restoring old homes
"My lung cancer was very small and found quite by accident while I was undergoing tests and x-rays in connection with a gall bladder problem. After having the cancer removed, I went to M. D. Anderson for a consultation and learned about a new chemoprevention study. I was the first to enroll in this clinical trial involving about 1,000 people. The goal is to prevent cancer from recurring by taking a synthetic vitamin A compound. Since it's a randomized study, I don't know if I got the drug or a placebo, but it was worth taking those three tiny pills every day for three years. I figure this approach might benefit me personally and certainly will help the doctors learn how to apply this chemoprevention concept to others in the future. I return to M. D. Anderson every six months for tests. Overall, I feel wonderful and hope to keep enjoying life for many years."

The New York Knicks JR Smith has been playing some great basketball lately and after winning the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award, probably has confidence through the roof. So while playing in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics, watch as Smith calmly gets the inbound pass and comes down and drains a buzzer-beater. Thanks to Los That Sports Blog for the footage.

Are you your own worst enemy? Or are your girlfriends? That's the question Chris Linnares poses to She Says editor Mary Jo Hotzler this week. Are women hurting the feminist movement by fighting amongst themselves?
Are you your own worst enemy? Or are your girlfriends? That's the question Chris Linnares poses to She Says editor Mary Jo Hotzler this week. Are women hurting the feminist movement by fighting amongst themselves?
No – absolutely not. And, I will not stop arguing. The feminist movement was taken over by the extremely liberal wing of the democratic party many years ago. I'm fine that they want to express their voices, but my pro-life, conservative voice should not be discounted as not feminist because I don't follow the left philosophy of tax and spend and share the wealth. Instead, we are attacked as not being part of a feminist movement. I am proud to be a conservative feminist who believes in free market capitalism, rewarding those who succeed, allowing some to fail, and freedom of choice before conception (not discounting the life of a baby).
I agree NDgirl. If you are a woman with conservative values who wants to stay home with the children and not forge a career simultaneously you're seen as "not with the times". I think the feminist movement failed miserably and only served to break up the family unit. Has some equality occurred? Sure it has but at what cost? Now women are expected to do it all. Work, raise the children, keep the house clean, etc…This was recently glamorized in the latest Sarah Jessica Parker movie entitled, "I Don't Know How She Does It". It's this unattainable standard that women have to reach. Oh plus they have to look good doing it all. Meanwhile we've dumbed down our men. They've been held to no standards and the incidences of single moms has risen dramatically since the 60's and 70's. It's a lose lose situation and really in the end only the children suffer as they are shuffled around from schools, to daycares, school events, church events, and never really learning to ground themselves.
Of course NDgirl doesn't speak for most North Dakotans. Up here in the northland, we don't generally believe that a rape victim must be forced to bear her attacker's children. Or that a young molestation victim must carry the offender's child to term and deliver. April seems to be suggesting that we turn the clock back on equality – back to a time when women were valued more as breeding stock and their ability to cook for the male head of household. Again, these are not the prevailing attitudes in North Dakota (nor in the rest of America). And the confused comments regarding the "dumbing down of men" makes no sense whatsoever. If fact, both these post are a mix of horrible logic, poor grammar, and unsupported statements.
The new section in the Forum is certainly not the first time a wealthy man created some inane activity to keep his idle wife busy. The same motivations have produced multitudes of not-so-precious eateries and local shops of whimsy that have since come and gone. What makes this situation unique is the legitimacy lent by associate to the city's "newspaper of record". Ms.Briggs proclaims that she is not "diminished as a woman because I read a section of the paper with fashion advice or recipes". While this may be true, she neglects to consider the larger impact that an authoritarian publication may have on young minds. Will a young girl reading the Forum see her role in society as being defined by her gender? Unfortunately, this is a complex topic and requires more words than I'm willing to type, and the introduction of more concepts that are probably beyond your comprehension.
I don't understand why I owe someone support just because we have similar anatomy.
I have to admit, I had flashes of 1950s housewives when I read about the new Shesays section, but I have been inspired by what I have read in Shesays and seen on this blog. Shesays tells the stories of the women who are leading the area's major companies, non-profits, civic groups and families. To me, Shesays shows how far women have come. This is not publishers wanting to increasing readership by making a section with just recipes and housekeeping tips for women. This is women claiming some space in the media to talk about the issues that are important to them – being a working or stay at home mom, keeping the family on a budget, being healthy, our relationships, recipes, and housekeeping tips. As Tracey points out, women are still reading op/eds, news, and sports..
The media is supposed to foster discussion and research issues important to the society. This includes the issues of family and community.
Keep the empowering content coming. I would enjoy reading about local women who have made global impact (or an impact on another side of the globe).

Which is better - private funding or public? Which gives a better outcome for the individual (* clinical outcome, * user experience, * cost-effective, * sustainable) and is there a clear picture?
One way to examine this question is to look at different countries in the world and see what works for them. I tackle this in the latest blog on Technorati.
Which is better - private funding or public? Which gives a better outcome for the individual (* clinical outcome, * user experience, * cost-effective, * sustainable) and is there a clear picture?
The figures are clear:
At around $1800 Healthy Life Expectancy is pretty good, and by $3000 per head (£2000, €2200) it doesn't get any better (see colourful chart to the right - based on WHOSIS figures for 2001-2006).
You can spend more but you don't improve life expectancy. Now many would argue that you get better healthcare - more comfortable, more convenient, better quality of life - I can't say (and nor can WHO) - Healthy Life Expectancy is a pretty good measure of health. I wonder what happens to the extra money?
Lets look at this a different way - by % of GDP.
A lot of people think that we are now rich enough to kill ourselves. We have enough spare money to eat too much, drink too much, smoke too much, never have to exercise, often not even to work, and of course to go hypochondriac on the internet, not only diagnosing all sorts of weird and wonderful diseases, but also to medicate them with medicine of dubious provenance.
So if we're richer, healthcare should naturally cost more? It should cost more because it is more expensive to deliver (wages are higher, we use more expensive equipment, etc). It would be fairer to look at healthcare compared to GDP (Gross Domestic Product).
Lower spend as a % gives lower life expectancy (I've had to exclude a lot of countries to make the graph simpler). That's what is to be expected. But look at some of the exceptions above the 7.5% mark. Japan (relatively low % of GDP in this sample) has the best life expectancy at birth. Diet? Stress?
UK - although spend is relatively low, life expectancy is terrible compared with the group. Alcohol? Smoking? Could it be a failure of healthcare? I doubt it, with all of the health tourism INTO the country.
The real anomaly is USA. In 2006, a frightening 15% of GDP ($1 in every $6.5) was spent on healthcare. Nowadays it is more like 17% ($1 in every $6). Not to put it too crudely, healthcare is very important and the healthcare workers work very hard, but it doesn't create new wealth. No, I tell a lie, in USA some people are getting very rich out of healthcare.
According to some estimates, 40% of all healthcare "spend" in USA goes to administration in the insurance companies that purchase healthcare on behalf of the public - they don't run hospitals (many hospitals are charities) they simply take the cream off the top.
No wonder so many people oppose Obama's proposed healthcare reforms - they don't want to give up their really rich sources of income!
For my next blog, I'm going a bit closer to home - look at the impact of numbers of primary care doctors (GPs) on A&E admissions in UK. It could be interesting (I haven't done it yet!)

Victory's recent MD&A dated June 30, 2012, indicated they "Initiated a new metallurgical study to improve concentrate grade and quality". See page 3. Hopefully they "improve concentrate grade" by getting better ore recoveries during milling operations.
For examplr, if ore recoveries increased from the 71.3%, as stated in the DFS, to 82.0%, the nickel in concentrate would increase from 11,000 tonne annually (24,25 million pounds) to 12,650 tonne annually (27,89 million pounds) Such an increase in ore recoveries could add 3.64 million pounds of nickel to annual production and help get Minago on the road to production.
I believe the past stated high percentages of nickel in concentrate are the result of removing non-nickel elements in the concentrate and were not the result of improving ore recoveries. I'm not complaining about the concentrate quality obtained as such, as it lowers the cost of shipping concentrate and lowers smelter fees. In its favor, a quality concentrate might allow for Outotec HydroNic process to be used which would eliminate both smelter and concentrate shipping costs.

I will just copy and paste what I found on a Tool FAQ. I don't think they've done "Ticks & Leeches" before but the FAQ is fairly old.
Why haven't they played "Ticks & Leeches" live yet?
"All of the songs with lyrics from "Lateralus" have made it onto setlists so far except for this one. Maynard recorded vocals for this song after all the others, and threw his voice out completely for a few days as a result of the screaming. In Oor Magazine (May 2001), he says "the band can hassle me all they want about Ticks & Leeches, I won't do it live. Three weeks it cost me. I couldn't sing a high note."
Either way all correct points. And yes I will edit the "encore" part out b/c yes that is correct they don't do encores.

Translating text with CSS
Sometimes you need to make a short bit of text bilingual, and you can't directly change the text itself. For example, content automatically generated by a 3rd party service may be hard coded in English. But if you can modify the CSS, you can add translations to text.
Ideally, the person hardcoding the English will have been nice enough to give it a unique id or class, like this:

Enter

With the :after pseudo class and your translated content applied...
h3.enter:after {content:" | Entrez"}
...you will get this:
Enter | Entrez
:after is supported by all modern browsers, but won't work in IE7 and earlier.

Reuniting with my old sport makes for an all-new experience.
By Hannah Wallace
As I promised last week, two stories featuring soccer, fisticuffs, wheelchairs and lifesavers:
Short story first: Attending The Constant Wife at the Asolo last week, my father and I, ticketless, had to enter the house from the backstage stairwell. The door—which, mind you, is also an emergency exit—was blocked with a proliferation of wheelchairs and walkers. I mean lots. And I know this can be considered an ugly thing to say about our town, but: Wow, talk about your stereotypical Sarasota trip to the theatre.
But if that weren't stereotype enough, the woman sitting next to me had to eat an entire package of hard Lifesavers during the third act. Not "sucked on them." She chomped through those things like potato chips—one after the other. For half an hour. I pondered offering her one of her own teeth to chew on (but, you know, I'm a lady). Still, I imagined some sensible person trying to calm me by saying, "You just have to ignore her." Here's the thing: You don't go to the theater to ignore people. There's good reason to sit in an audience, watch live actors and absorb the whole, intangible experience. And if you don't realize you're in the beautiful company of actual, living people, then for God's sake, stay at home, watch a movie and chip all the dentures you want.
The second experience began after an indoor soccer game that left me, as usual, wheezing and woozy, when a couple of women recruited me to play on their full-sided (11 vs. 11) outdoor team on Saturdays. Three years of Bambi-ing around in ice hockey, I'd kind of forgotten what being admirably athletic feels like—it's nice. Even though I didn't really want to spend my Saturday in a social-anxiety attack from meeting so many new people, I couldn't resist the compliment.
All I knew when I arrived at Ellenton's Buffalo Creek soccer fields two days later was that I was looking for a team with dark blue uniforms. CCB trotted along behind me carrying his soccer-mom chair as I scanned the crowds. I couldn't even remember what my recruiters looked like.
I didn't have to wait long (my "Oh, my God I'm lost help me!" beacon is pretty obvious). A handsome, dark-skinned, 30-something man walked up smiling and introduced himself as Chuy, the coach. The team followed—a parade of 20- and 30-something Hispanic women who soon began an organized warm-up: passing drills, call-and-answer counting through stretches, friendly ribbing. The lively conversation moved between English and Spanish, but every time something important was being said in the latter, one new teammate or another would materialize at my side to translate, politely and flawlessly.
"You could pass for Hispanic," my mother later told me. Yeah, not for a second did anyone think I spoke Spanish, much less that I was Latina. (See above, re: my beacon.)
It was a competitive game, complete with two 45-minute halves, three uniformed, remarkably professional officials and a handful of fans shouting encouragement (and occasionally derision) in Spanish on the sideline. When I netted our team's first goal, someone within earshot gave an amused shout of support when he realized "the white girl scored."
At halftime, the coach took a collection from the team to pay the officials. He refused to take any money from me.
Midway through the second half, a benches-clearing brawl erupted with (in my mind) little provocation after an escalating argument between two players. Fists flew, Spanish insults filled the air; I had no idea what was going on. I stood on the outskirts and joked with one of my teammates that it was a good thing I couldn't understand what they were saying, or I would have been very upset, I'm sure.
A few moments after the unflappable referee sorted out that madness and restarted the game, I scored my third goal of the evening, putting our team up 4-3. Not long after that, the game was called on account of some fairly angry opposition support encroaching on the playing field.
In the handshake line afterwards, three girls from the other team dodged my hand. One girl walked through the entire line with her middle finger in the air. I was a little shocked. In our hockey leagues, dirty play certainly isn't unheard of, but not shaking hands at the end of the game is nearly unforgivable. Turns out, I still have a lot to learn about soccer.

Spent nearly every night in Santana for 2 weeks in October,I'm 55 years old it must have been good to keep me in there.Staff are brilliant,(special mention to Firat),see you all next year. Dave ,Linda ,Bobbiie and Courtney from Leeds
I only just got back from turkey and im missing it like mad!! all the boy there are fabulous. . .and sexy might i add. . .had a wicked holiday . i sat out there with some of the boys till 6AM . .gonna miss u boys see u in the new year!! x
Some of the reviews on this place were intersting. We were advised to try this bar as our usual Baran Bar has closed, and VIP not yet open. Really enjoyed it the first night we went, and the staff were fun, but although not overcharged for our drinks, when waiting on our change got bumped 30 lira...so be careful. Only just returned from Marmaris today, so it's obviously not helped bringing in the supposed new staff for bills. However, as half the pubs along long beach are closed, we returned again, and still had a good enough night...took the bill to the bar ourselves though, to make sure there were no problems. Would like to think that our problem was a one off, but not so sure, so be warned. As long as you're careful with the money though, i'm sure you should have a good night out. Just a shame the Mayor is destroying the nightlife in Marmaris, by trying to turn off all music after 12!
santana bar is the best in marmaris! ive been going for 8 years and intend on going for another 8! all the lads are friendly and work there ass's off! ive never been over charged so cant comment on that. love it! ♥♥♥ love my Santana b's xxx
i definately reccommend that you go in here. you should at least try it if you do not wish to spend your whole holiday here but i would strongly say its one of the best bars in marmaris. i miss all the boys so much. especially mas :D <3 and tahsin my brother. i've been going here for 9 years and absolutely love it. have so many memories in here and their great. i've only seen a few people being over charged on their bill but that has been reduced now as the man that does the bills has been changed and he doesnt add anything extra! my family and i pay for our drinks as we drink them though so thats always an option. atmosphere is outstanding and the dancing well you just have to see it yourself and you'll know what i'm thinking. but definately give it a go and if you dont like it then you dont have to go back nobody is forcing you :).
me and my boyfriend visited santana karaoke bar in september o9, we chose this bar from the many, simply because of the friendly atmostphere and great entertainment, the barmen are friendly and great dancers may i say, i got up singing a few times and got great applause,i couldnt resist having my photo taken with the young sexy barmen much to my boyfriends delight.lol. we will be revisiting santana nxt year and taking the kids along with us for 2 weeks this time!

santana cracking bar no1 in marmaris ali my big bro u sound
The first time I went to this bar was in sept 05, I went with my friend and it was brilliant. We went every night of our holiday. The barman are all gorgeous and fantastic dancers. We danced on the bar all nite. I returned just last week and was greeted by many of the same waiters who all remembered us. The cocktails are lovely and for all those wanting a good sing song then Santana is a must. I will def go back.
Visted the santana bar in august 2006, Absolutley loved it! They do really nice sex on the beach cocktails that are a must to try! All staff were very friendly & lively..Always dancing with a smile on their faces! Ali, 1 of the members of staff is a babe too :) Santana bar is a must to try! Kirsty of Normanton ENGLAND xx

went to this bar in summer 2005 quieried a very high bar bill, spoke to manager about it, paid bill!!!!!!!, after he took money, he attacked my brother in law and husband then attacked me (a woman and my sister in law) punched and tried to strangle her, and all this because we quiered drinks on our bill, for example :- milkshake and tea. would advise you to pay and go with drinks, or better advice avoid this bar completely, love to go back with a crowd and nock the brains outta them and give them a taste of what they give.
Love this bar - it is great, all the staff are fab - we have known some of them now for 6 years and they are so accomodating. I would definately recommend Santana!!

Before Jon Jones and Alex Gustafsson set foot in the Octagon on Saturday night, the story was all about reach.
According to the hype, the 6ft 5in Swede had the genetic tools to neutralise the 84in arms of a dominant champion whose career to date resembled a youngster pulling wings off a butterfly.
In the end both fighters strode tall and proud into the Toronto's caged battlefield, yet left as broken men. After twenty five mesmerising minutes, they were transported separately to a local hospital. Soon their collective wounds will heal, but the tale of their light-heavyweight title bout at UFC 165 will be enshrined in folklore. This was a career-defining night for both combatants.
For Jones, it was an occasion that cements his legacy as the greatest 205 pound titleholder the UFC has ever seen.
We've seen him grow before us in the Octagon. From his early days as a precocious young talent to the all-conquering sponsorship darling of Nike and Gatorade, it has been an extraordinary journey. Yet he's been victim of his own success. Dominance has brought fame, fortune and fast cars but it hasn't bought him the popularity one might expect. Fans failed to connect with a man whose superiority often made for predictable viewing.
The success story of the UFC has been based on perennial instability. Zuffa eschews the old boxing matchmaking model of good fight, easy fight, mismatch, great fight that defined the careers of the likes of Muhammad Ali. In the world's premier fight league, titles are earned through blood, sweat and tears. Fortune can be fleeting. The margin between success and failure is the width of a four ounce glove.
Men like Chuck Liddell and B.J Penn, bona fide Zuffa legends, walked those margins every time they entered the cage. Their constant flirtation with risk earned them reward, but it also earned them the lifelong respect of the MMA fanbase.
Whereas Jon Jones made it look easy. Too easy. History told us that it shouldn't be this way. A young twenty-something with so few fights to his name shouldn't be this good.
Every great champion needs a great rival.
Take the case of Anderson Silva. Now acknowledged as the greatest mixed martial artist the world has ever seen, the Brazilian didn't always command such accolades.
Prior to his 2010 bout with Chael Sonnen, Silva had stunk out many a UFC arena with a fighting style that walked a fine line between arrogance and excellence. It was only after he survived a 23 minute beatdown from Sonnen and emerged victorious in their epic UFC 117 encounter that respect flowed from all corners. He had finally shown his fighting heart and the world loved him for it.
Like Silva, last night Jon Jones showed us all the fighting heart that defines the great champions. And for that he owes Gustafsson a debt of gratitude.
And what of the Swede? Stockholm's fighting son proved to the world that he was more than the collection of long limbs that the UFC hype machine had us believe. This is a Scandinavian warrior with an indomitable fighting spirit. He survived a brutal final minute of the fourth round and marched onward in the fifth like a soldier whose chambers have long since emptied, yet endeavours to fight the enemy with his bare hands. They were six minutes that will change the course of his career forever more.
Gustafsson personified the evolution that defines this wonderful sport. After defeat to wrestling machine Phil Davis, he was criticised as a one-dimensional striker whose lack of grappling finesse was a fundamental flaw. Rather than seek comfort in the familiar, Gustafsson pushed himself out of his comfort zone. He swallowed his pride and turned to Davis for tuition, spending hour after tortuous hour on the mat honing his craft.
Last night we saw his emergence as a truly world-class mixed martial artist and a potential long-term rival to Jon Jones. The light-heavyweight division is no longer the barren landscape we perceived it to be. There is a pretender to the throne. A challenger to push the king to new levels of greatness.
On Saturday night Alex Gustafsson reached for the crown and fell agonisingly short.
Maybe it was all about reach after all.

"Fans failed to connect with a man whose superiority often made for predictable viewing."
LOL That's damage control. That sentence should read, "Jon Jones has driven off many fans with his condescending attitude and comparisons of himself and Jesus."
We didn't "fail to connect" with his highness.

What a small and pathetic person you are.
We just witnessed 2 of the greatest warriors in MMA who engaged in a spectacular battle of mind, muscle, and heart. And both stood taller in their greatness after they left that octagon then when they entered. No matter what you think of an athlete on a personal level, there are times when he/she deserves our full respect and admiration for accomplishing something rare and special, something that we as fans are privileged to have participated in. For one night these great men transcended the sport and took us with them to a place that few ever see. These champions and what they gave you, what they gave us all, demand your gratitude respect.

Words such as "greatness" are ment to be reserved for the truly special and spectacular in the sporting world. I dont think people realise how much growth we will see in this sport in the near future. The skills on display last night were not of greatness. Jon Jones has convinced fans and journalists he is something special. He is not. Cannot question the heart and desire of both men though, true warriors.
Hopefully fans and journalist calm down on the Jones greatness talk. He is not the Ali of MMA, he cannot box a Klitscko and he has no business saying the likes of teixeira or Cormier are not on his level.

Haters are always easy to spot, and in this case, especially easy.
You're embarrassing yourself. I think you're in a very small minority if you don't think last night's fight was a great event. It's silly to suggest that it must be measured by the yardstick of the entire sporting world to be considered great. That's just stupid. It was absolutely a great and amazing fight in the world of MMA, which is all we're talking about here.
And it's just more hater garbage to argue that Bones is nothing special. Yeah, Okay. I won't bore everyone with a recounting of Jones' achievements. I guess you think the pros who believe Jon is special are just not as bright as you are. Hard to imagine many fighters more special than Bones.
And again, in typical hater fashion, you twist and distort Jon's comments regarding Tex and DC. I believe what Jones said was that Tex wasn't ready yet, which a lot of people would agree with. The guy has been rocked in just about every fight he's been in in the UFC, including almost being stopped by Ryan Bader in his last outing. So no, I don't think Tex is on Jon's level either. As for DC, Jones simply said that he hadn't earned a title shot yet. Which he hasn't since he hasn't even had a single fight at LHW. But again, Jones never said that Cormier was not on his level.
I just thought it would've cool for us to applauded both fighters for such a great and inspiring fight for just one day. Would've been nice to put the constant stream of criticism aside for a day and give Jon and Gus props and recognize their stellar performances.

LOL small and pathetic? Because Jon Jones has driven off much of his fan base by comparing himself to Jesus I am small and pathetic? That's crazy talk.
Calm down big boy, being good at fighting doesn't mean that people can't consider you egotistical and ungracious. Believe it or not, fighting in the cage isn't very important in most peoples lives.
