FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky's public universities are defending their proposed tuition hikes before the Council on Postsecondary Education.
University leaders are trying to gain support for the tuition increases amid state funding cuts.
Thursday marked the second day of testimony on the proposed
increases, which range from about 6 percent to 9 percent at different public universities in the state.
The council is scheduled to decide on tuition rates at a meeting late next week.
Kentucky is facing a $900 million revenue shortfall over the next two years. State lawmakers recently approved a two-year, $19 billion state budget that included about 3 percent funding cuts to universities.

Bah. Training wheels.
-----------------------------------------Testing, testing....123. This thing still work?
I'm getting sick of all these jerks who actually try.
It had to happen. Hit a hidden tree root going downhill and completely wiped out. Nothing broken, but a big bruise on my big toe. That's what I get for running trails in GoRun. I was near the HS track and there was an event, and I'm sure they heard my OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH SSSHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!TTTTTTTT
Stupid pet pet tricks for the week:
Mon. 10@9:18. Speedy
Tues. 14.5@8:15, 17 bike
Weds. 15.5@9:13. 6x.4@8:30. Totally awful. 17 bike
Thurs. 14@7:57 in the flats. 17 bike
Fri. 16.2@8;22, 21 bike
Sat. 14.3@8:14, 17 bike
Sun. 16.5@7:58, last three 6:34, 7:00, 6:47. 17 bike. Not bad.
101 @ 8:26. 106 bike. A totally wtf plan. No running doubles and no LR. Funky.
FB, Wow!!! Sorry to hear about the fall, that truly sucks, been there done that too many times. But as for your week... Didn't you read how over-50s are supposed to behave in that thread? 3 days of running and be old the rest of the time. You're clearly doing it wrong. Great job, mister!! (and all singles? wowza)
Sam, sorry to hear about the sickness, hope you feel better asap.
Gpops, so exciting! Almost here.
Aggie, you're so unlardy it's not even funny.
Hey to the rest of you.
I had an ok week: 43.5mi. with a rest day. That hill workout wiped me out, DOMS for a couple days (if there's a way to get your arse in shape, it's that) and then my runs were kinda rickety after that. I think it's because I was excited to be back on pavement but need to dole it out slower. Patience, patience...
FB - I may sound like a broken record, but check out Hokas. They are 10oz with a 4 mm drop. Look like clown shoes but read reviews. You can run a 20-30 mile training run in them and feel like you didn't run the next day.
PJ - 3rd OA. Whoop!
G P - yea, I'm going fishing Wednesday so may only get two runs in. I'll PM you my cell # so we can meet up at Metrodome.
SP - did I do that? Sometimes getting sick during a taper is a blessing. Keeps you from doing too much. Your week looks solid. Hay is in the barn.
2014 PR's - HM 1:26:18. M 3:02:32
GIM - that week looks like someone training for a half/full. Hills make you stronger!
FB - missed the week.
Bam! That just happened.
"But the from way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it." - Rafiki
FB - man, what a week. Bummer on the fall but it sounds like it wasn't too bad. (Well other than exposing innocent teenagers to "adult" words....)
sam - rough week, but at least it was supposed to be a light one
GIM - very solid week, and yes patience grasshopper
Gpop and Aggie - you guys getting excited!!
Aggie - we were lucky, and I mean very lucky not to lose that game. We so need a QB
Doc - I see you are getting your money's worth out of the bike, good
Hey all.
Took the day off, DW's b-day so we just kind of laid around the house being lazy, watched IM3. Will probably double of one day to make up the miles. 77.6 for last week, too lazy to go back post all the daily miles
Oh, and for all you book readers read "Killing Lincoln" today, pretty good read.
Worse. Cat person!
Marathons this year: Oakland (2AG), San Francisco full (2AG), Santa Rosa (pacer, but 1AG anyway). next: CIM
Wow...lots of activity here...
GIM: Norman...ha! And way to get applause just for going out for a run! OK, so I have a question...what is required to move up from "trollop" to "whore?"
Jim: Yep, I'm thinking that as well (no speedwork = no cutback).
Nick: This is old news by now, but that was a crazy 20.5 yesterday!
dls: Oddly, people looked gloomy on my Saturday run as well.
PJ: Congrats on 3rd AG! Enjoy the RDs!
FB: That's a crazy week in and of itself, and then to top it all off, the last 3 running miles were at 7:00 or better?! What do you do for cutback weeks...80/80?? I think I saw a comment from you on the Kinvaras...although I run in several different shoes, the Ks have become my go-to shoe as well for races. I also use the NB890s, and recently retired a pair after about 626 miles. Still had plenty of tread on them. Oh, and bummer on that fall!
Gpops: Congrats on the last MLR...can't believe your race is only a week away!
Aggie: Same for you...looks like some solid tapering going on.
Sam: Bummer on the sickness, but like Aggie said, the barn is filled with hay...or something like that...
Nick: Congrats to DW on the Bday. Nice week, and way to be lazy. Must be all of those wine coolers.
Hey all...
10.6M @ 8:20 for me this morning. We were hanging out in Grandmas territory this weekend, so I had to get in some mileage on the Lake Superior trails.
just checking in real quick - some solid running and chilling (rest days count! they're important!) goin on here!!
did 3 hr LR yesterday @ tahoe. i'm guessing it was around 20mi instead of the 21 it should have been but whatever, it was altitudey and hilly and pretty much kicked my butt. though i had some unplanned company in the form of lake tahoe marathoners! i went the other way as they did, accidentally, for about 7 miles. they seemed like really cool runner folk - the old dudes who you can tell have been running forever (who i aspire to eventually be). waved to a bunch of them and they all waved back that's not something that I am used to... also, crossed the state line into nevada! and suddenly there were casinos lining the street. can't make that up.
then did easy 6 this evening after getting back from tahoe. 66 miles on the week - 2nd highest ever, yay!
_________________________________________1mi - 5:50 / 5k - 20:16 / 13.1 - 1:33:49 / 26.2 - 3:21:05next up: north face CA 50k, ?, boston marathon, ?
rlk-that's a great run and beautiful scenery. I've only been to Tahoe at New Year's and it was not exactly running weather, but loved it there.
OMR-nice run and always nice to get in on some trails.
Aggie-yeah, that game was heartbreaking. Thought we had it but oh well. Good tapering going on for you.
FB-I am in awe of your week. Wow. Sucks about the fall.
Gpops and Samuel-nice tapering. Looks like it's going well so far.
PJ-nice place OA. Sounds like a good race.
I ran 12.9 miles this morning @ 8:42 to round out a 48.6 mile week. The run was nice and hot and humid. I'm hoping for actual fall soon. Longest run and highest weekly mileage for me in a while, but still feeling pretty good. Not much compared to a lot of you folks but I'm on my way back.
PRs: 5k 19:23, 10k 39:39, HM 1:36:11
OMR, I didn't even tell you about the intermediate step "Mileage Slattern", but I think you'll figure it all out on your own. Just try not to get any diseases on the way.
Nick, good for you taking a lazy day!
Rlk, congrats on the mileage PR! Way cool. Funny about the casinos.
Justin, so great about things on the up and up. Nothing like a solid comeback. Here's to more of that.
ZAB, hey there, honey!
Greetings and Happy Monday - almost October!!
Looks as though we have some quick approaching key fall races for Aggie, Ghetto, Stonz, and ??. Hoep your individual tapers brings you to the line in top shape and form.
Not much here. Did not run/bike 100 miles last week like FB, had nobody compliment my running like GIM, just the ordinary 80 mile week........ Beautiful fall weather and time with the family made the weekend special.
262--Just the ordinary 80 mile week, LOL. Only you would call that sort of week ordinary.
rlk--congrats on the mileage PR!
Justin--great week from you as well.
GIM--thanks for posting that video, definitely got a good chuckle out of it. Also loved Jim E's "training wheels" comment.
OMR--continuing to crank out the strong mileage, I see...
nickshawn--not too lazy to run 77+ miles this week, but too lazy to post the weekly workout summary, love it!
FB--you and your crazy stunts. 100/100, way to go! I want to be you when I grow up.
Happy final week of tapering for aggie and Ghettopops!
Samuel--Hope you're starting to feel better so that you can crush your upcoming race.
PJ--great job on the hilly 15K! You're a racing machine.
dlsmd--the master of cross training, I see...
Recent Pre-Asthma PRs-- 8K (30:43)/HM (1:25:32)/Marathon (3:00:55)
Post Asthma PRs-- 5K (19:46)
BK - Only 80 miles? Slacker.
FB - I'm nervous taking my goruns anywhere but the treadmill. So what comes after 100/100?
Aggie - I've had the Hokas in my cart at RW probably a dozen times now, and can't bring myself to do it. Tell me more.
PJ - Congrats
Zab! And hey to everyone... just about time for me to get to work.
Last week was a major cutback for me. Pretty much lost any desire to run for a few days after getting rejected from B____, and wound up with 20some miles for the week. I saw it coming, but took it hard anyway. Anyway, on to the next one. Got in a quick five pre-dawn today, and will try to work in some hills at lunch. Later peeps.
Monday—2 @ 9:30. I had a bit of time to kill before my appointment at the chiropractor, so I ran for a little bit. I ran without a GPS, but the distance and pace is sufficiently accurate for my purposes. Tuesday—6.02 @ 9:31. Wednesday—10.2 @ 7:51. Took a page out of the Pfitz training book and included 4 miles at lactate threshold pace (15K). Based on my HM goal of sub 1:35, 15K pace is 7:05, and I ran 7:03, 7:03, 7:05, 6:59. Wasn't it just last year that 7:05 was close to marathon pace? While I hit my targets, it's clear that I have a lot of work to do. Thursday—5 @ 9:32. Also added 2.7 miles at a very easy pace with my No Boundaries 5K group (4/1 run-walk intervals)Friday—5 @ 9:02Saturday—4.42 @ 10:26 with my No Boundaries 10K team. Sunday—16.16 @ 8:13. Ran with my Sunday marathon training team's 8:30 pace group for first 12. Once I dropped them off, I turned around and finished the last 4 in 7:33, 7:18, 7:18, 6:59. Needless to say, I was much happier with this run than I was with last week's 20. Goal volume for the week—48 miles. Actual volume—51.5 miles. Yeah, I'm happy with this last week of training. It was a good idea to complete that LT run, as it gave me a chance to ease into some "faster" running. But I also need to get back to some VO2 max-type workouts; next week's 800s, while feared, are exactly what I'm going to need.Oh yeah, and in reply to Dad's question from last week, I need to lose weight. Nearing 180 pounds at 5' 9.5" is a bad combo. I'm an effing fatty right now.
almost 100% healed today, still some cough and a lovely tranny voice. I should be fine when the race comes although I am a little concerned with weight loss. I lost nearly 6 pounds the last week. in my previous taper experiences i gained some weight, not the other way around... stupid sickness.
good luck to everyone else doing the taper monster. lots of impressive weeks too!
I did a little race report cause it had been a while. Not much, just a few little details.
I love LA - Feb 2016
.... just the ordinary 80 mile week........ Beautiful fall weather and time with the family made the weekend special.
Only on the 3:20 thread. Very nice BK.
Justin: I should qualify: trails = paved bike trail. So, kind of like a small road...not so much a trail. Nice finish to the week! Hope you get some of the lovely fall weather we've been having as of late.
rlk: Congrats to you as well on the strong week. I haven't been running forever, but I do try to be one of those "old dudes" who waves at other runners.
GIM: Oh great, there's a "Slattern" step before "Whore"?! By the way, where does "Wench" fit in all of this?
262: Ho-hum...80 miles...yep...pretty ordinary...
NACN: Say, I like that long-term goal of yours. Solid week...the comeback continues...
McBen: Yep...on to the next one.
Sam: Oo, the tranny voice! Good to hear you're nearly back.
PJ: I'll have to come back and read that race report later.
Hey to everyone...
Wrapped up another "trifecta of ridiculousness" (aka, 3 light days for FB): 18 Saturday, 10.6 yesterday, and 14.1 @ 8:05 this morning. Holy crap, I'm tired.
NACN - Well, you're going to see some rapid improvement, like being a newbie again.BK/262 - Nice "Ordinary" Week.SaPa - Lost 6 pounds? Wow. You and NACN need to talk.FB - Yes, those GoRuns are too flexible to kick anything with, it just impacts your toes. Guess how I know this?GIM - I'm seriously thinking of adopting "Elitist" as my sig.OMR - Gloomy runners? Were Was it something you said?
PJ - Nice RR. Is a Natty Boh some sort of beer? If not, then it should be.I'm experiencing the warm glow of having caught up with "Breaking Bad" in time to watch the last episode as it went out. Good ending.Gpops - Enjoy the tapir, Samuel too!rlk - I've raced in a relay around Lake Tahoe a couple of times. It kicked my butt too.My Week:Mo: 9 EasyTu: Track. 3x1600, 600 recoveries with 2mi warmup, 2mi cooldownWe: 3.1 RecoveryTh: 12.2 with 7@MPFr: 7.1 EasySa: 12.1 on flattish gravel trails.Su: 12.2 Easy61.2 for the week. (12 more than the plan)
Zab - hey honey
Omar - nice trifecta there, might as well go for the quadzilla....
NACN - nice, solid week you have going there. I feel ya on the weight, been trying to lose 5 lbs the last three months and managed to gain 2 ...
rlk - sounds like a great 20
262- yep, just a ho-hum little 80 mpw....
McB - way to get back on the horse!
FB - like the rest have said, so what now?
Sam - glad you are feeling better
PJ - nice racing
Jim - what, cat person?! I knew you and ESG had something in common
Justin - steady as she goes, nice building up. No need to rush
Hey all
14.4 this morning with 5x1mi @ 5k and .5 mi recovery. A little slow on the fast parts (avg around 6:20) but otherwise felt pretty good about this one. Supposed to stop at 12 but I had the time so I added the extra to the end. 7:26 OA pace.
Jim - now how are you going to evaluate the plan when you keep adding miles.....
Natty Boh - National Bohemian. It was a local beer (and beyond) that sorta died out in the 70's but has made a comeback when most of the 'cheap' beers were consolidated by Pabst. The National Brewing Company also a made a popular malt liquor by the name of Colt 45, which you might know...
Hope to catch up with thread tonight.
Hokas - they have 2.5 times cushioning of traditional trainer. Look like clown shoes but foot is recessed in shoe so not unstable. Able to absorb rocks and roots and known for allowing very fast downhill running. The Tarmac just has a different surface for asphalt so it doesn't wear as fast. I use them for LSD LRs and recovery. We do some real slow 25-30 mile runs leading up to ultra and the next day your legs feel like you didn't run. You would think they would be real heavy but size 9 is 10 oz. they have a 4 mm drop. We do weekend 30/20 miles and I could not do that in regular shoes without trashing my legs. Unfortunately my runs are all concrete/asphalt unless I'm on treadmill. Many people that have given up running due to chronic knee problems are able to run again with these. One of my buddies only runs in Hokas now because of that.
5x1mi @ 5k
PJ - I really don't get the natty boh thing. Ordered a pitcher the first time I ever had one. Really had to man up for that.
Jim, do! Then maybe I can get OMR to make his signature something slutty. Cool on Breaking Bad, going to see it tonight so I have to be very selective of where to go online today, don't want a hint of the finish!
OMR (and for the 10th time, I wrote OMG first), you already passed wench status at around the 60mpw mark.
McBen, really sorry about your not getting in, makes me sad to see your disappointment. Maybe it'll hail or pour that day. (um, but for those that got in...sunny skies, of course!)
Nick, nice run today! A little rest did you well.
262, great week as usual. And I forgot to commend you on that sweet comment to the group the other day. You always have such an uplifting outlook. I have a feeling you must be drunk half the time, but aside from that...wonderful. hee
NACN, nice week and a lovely finish to your Sunday run.
A "feels great" run for me this morning: 8.5mi.
I'm adding miles to make it a fair comparison with previous cycles. I'm following the guidelines for how-to-add-miles, so it's still the plan.
I could go for Elitist Prick.
That's a bit too much like Competitive Jerk. Have I sunk that low?
262, haha you and FB and your humble weeks. Very Nice mileage.
Nan, good finish to your MLR. If you can still see your junk you ain't fat.
OMR, wow nice 3 days, looks like gonna be a big week. G D this is some killer weather.
Nick, now that seems like a good workout. Extra time before he one woke? Those other miles must have been pretty mellow if you got 7:26 OA. Not that I could hang with the 6:20's
McB, good to see the upswing coming round. Sure I will go through same thing next week.
GIM, feel good runs are my fav. Good to see us tubbies keeping you interested.
JIM, toi aussi? Building seems to be coming along.
Aggie, 6 more days. Think there's a group meeting up Sat, you going?
Day o rest 1 of 3. Beautiful day, spending it window shopping with the wife. Maybe I should slip her a couple wine coolers
Ah. But they're truly fast. I'm just a Prick.
Killer week FB!
50-54: HM - 1:21:44 (11/15) 10K - 37:55 (9/15) 2015 Goal - MM or bust
Aggie - Any effect on turnover?
Gim - Thanks. There's a new half in your neck of the woods called the Love Run that's happening in March. I'm considering it as a tune-up for a yet-to-be disclosed race ... my only hesitation is that I ran one of the organizer's races this year in NJ, and there was no finish clock. I know that's nit-picky, but WTF?
Wine coolers ... last time I had any was back around 1994ish, maybe. Puts me at 19 years old or so. A friend and I arranged for an older friend a whole case of Bartles and Jaymes for these two young ladies who were meeting us for the weekend "down the shore" (as we say here in NJ). To make a long story short, they left after about an hour. So I did what any honorable gentleman would do in the situation and drank ALL of the wine coolers. I can't say I remember much about that evening, but clearly I remember the next morning because I woke up on the roof of a neighbor's house.
So, Ghetto, NickS and all else, the moral of the story is ... I don't know. There really wasn't a point to that.
Jim: Actually, most of the gloomy people were walkers. Maybe they all drank too many wine coolers Friday night, and were contemplating how it was that they wound up on their neighbor's roof? Nice week!
Nick: Hmm...would that be the Quadzilla of Stupidity?! Ha...I can tell my legs need at least one shorter day, so tomorrow will not be a repeat. And you should definitely be feeling good about that one.
Aggie: Interesting info on the Hokas.
GIM: Well, had I not already passed Mileage Wench, I might have put that as my signature. That OMG(R) comment cracks me up. Way to get in one of those feels great runs this morning.
Gpops: So, are you checking the forecast every 2 hours?
McBen: An honorable gentleman indeed. I hope you realized where you were before you started walking around.
Ahh, the 3:30 traffic is back, feels like Chicago or Atlanta in here.
McBen, you are a noble man of the shore, or perhaps shire?
Ran a WTF run with no watch, on an 8 mile course, with miles 5-7.5, 60 seconds all out alternating with 60 seconds recovery, just counted the seconds. Now have some ingrown toenail pain

Tennessee Effect has coach salaries on rise
Tom Dienhart
Rivals.com College Football Senior Writer
A nickname is given to any event that causes a seismic change in an industry, and that's just what Tennessee did this offseason when it re-defined the salary structure of college football with the hiring of new coach Lane Kiffin's staff.
"It's a concern for all athletic directors during these challenging times," Minnesota A.D. Joel Maturi says. "Many areas across our campus have been issued a wage freeze."
Tennessee has the most expensive staff of assistant coaches in college football history. The price: $3.325 million for nine assistants. That comes out to $369,444 per coach. That makes the $2.4 million that Alabama doled out to its nine assistants this past season � which was tops in the nation � seem like a pittance.
"We chose a little bit different model to allow Lane to hire the right kind of staff around him to be able to have the kind of success we need to have in football," Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton says.
Some feel this is excess to the extreme � and even a bit shameful, given the tough economic times. Banks are failing, the auto industry is on life support and unemployment is at heights not seen since the early 1980s, but it's as if college football merely shrugs its massive shoulders and lights another cigar with a $100 bill.
"On an ethical level, it is preposterous, if not heinous, to have the football and basketball coach paid several times as much as the university president," says Andrew Zimbalist, an economics professor at Smith College who is considered an expert on the economy of sports. "What message does that send to the students about the priorities of the school or the society?"
College football, though, can be lucrative. Football coaches and their assistants play a substantial role in the creation of revenue that funds many benefits to universities, including other sports.
"It is clear that the best coaching staffs are creating significant added value, resulting in greater proceeds from marketing, licensing and ticket sales, increased charitable donations, and a rise in student admission applications," says Neil Cornrich, who represents many high-profile head coaches. "Consequently, there is more competition for top coaches at all levels."
That brings us back to Tennessee, which hasn't won the SEC since 1998. Meanwhile, conference brethren Florida and LSU each have won two national titles this decade, Alabama is on the precipice of again becoming one of the top programs in America and Georgia has won two SEC titles and is a national power. Oh, and Arkansas, Auburn and Ole Miss are ramping up for big runs under new coaches.
The highest-paid Vols assistant is defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin at $1.2 million annually, making him the highest-paid assistant in the nation and the first million-dollar coordinator. Defensive line coach/recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron � who also has the title of assistant head coach � gets $650,000. Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney ($380,000) and linebackers coach Lance Thompson ($350,000) give the Vols four assistants who make at least $350,000.
Factor in Lane Kiffin's $2 million deal, and Tennessee is spending $5.3 million on football coaches this year. Amazingly, that aggregate figure ranks just fourth in the SEC, behind LSU, Alabama and Florida, largely because the head coaches of those schools are paid more than Kiffin.
"Our funding model requires football to be successful in order to fund other sports and not detract from the university's mission," Hamilton says. "This team of experienced coaches understands that vision.
"While our coaches' salary model is unique, we feel it is a great model for Tennessee. Coach Kiffin understands the power of putting together a great team, and he used the budget we provided to assemble what many will consider to be the best staff in America."
Tennessee hired away Thompson (Alabama) and David Reaves (South Carolina) from other league schools. Alabama grabbed James Willis from Auburn. Auburn lured Tracy Rocker away from Ole Miss. LSU nabbed Ron Cooper from South Carolina and also hired former Tennessee defensive coordinator John Chavis. And on it went, as schools anted up in hopes of winning the SEC championship.
Some trace the all-out salary explosion to Alabama's courtship of Nick Saban after the 2006 season. Alabama gave Saban an eight-year, $32 million contract that made him the nation's highest-paid coach.
While Tennessee garnered most of the headlines this offseason, Auburn also wrote some massive checks in building Gene Chizik's first staff on the Plains. Media reports indicate that four Auburn assistants will be paid more than $300,000: defensive coordinator Ted Roof ($370,000), offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn ($350,000), wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor ($320,000); and Rocker ($300,000). And offensive line coach Jeff Grimes isn't far behind ($290,000). All five were hired off other staffs: Roof from Minnesota, Malzahn from Tulsa, Taylor from Oklahoma State, Rocker from Ole Miss and Grimes from Colorado.
The high cost of coaching has had a trickle-down effect. Non-"Big Six" schools can't match the spending clout of their big-boy brethren, which has impacted smaller schools' ability to retain top talent.
Fresno State is a perfect example. Every offseason, it seems, Bulldogs coach Pat Hill loses an assistant � or two � to a higher-paying jobs at a school in a bigger league. Look at his offensive coordinators alone. It started with Jeff Tedford (Oregon) and has continued with Andy Ludwig (Oregon), Frank Cignetti (North Carolina), Steve Hagen (North Carolina) and Jim McElwain (Alabama). This offseason, Hill saw Doug Nussmeier bolt to join the Washington staff.
"It is tough," Hill says. "We don't have the resources the bigger schools have. We do the best with what we have, but it is a challenge to keep hiring quality people. But I like the challenge."
Big expectations are part of receiving big money. In other words, to whom much is given, much is expected. Lane Kiffin is ready.
"As I said in the first press conference, this staff was going to take some time," he said recently. "It wasn't about doing it fast, it was about doing it right � Once again, I would like to thank Mike Hamilton, the athletic department and our donors for making this possible."

Bennett's Stefon Wright comes down with a rebound during the first half of their game on Thursday against Wicomico in Salisbury.
- Filed Under
First place in the Bayside South came down to a set of familiar foes as the undefeated Wicomico boys basketball team hosted crosstown rival James M. Bennett.
While taking the first step into locking up the division was important, the match up had another meaning as Indians coach Butch Waller sat at 699 career wins entering the game.
The legendary coach got the milestone 700th win, but in a bit tenser fashion than he would have liked as the Indians blew a 24-point lead, but were able to hold on and beat the Clippers 78-76 Thursday evening. The win gives Wi-Hi sole possession of first place in the ...

Prosecution to investigate claims of pressure to Investment Bank. Army Forces are an instrument of a statehood. Successful Repulika Srpska, successful Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Federation entity Prime Minister Nermin Niksic and Interior Minister Predrag Kurtes filed a report on claims of the alleged pressures to Investment Bank to the Bosnian Prosecutor corruption department to investigate after bank director Ramiz Dzaferovic said that officials of three parties, SDA, HSP and NSRZB pressured him to give credits to certain persons.
Bosniak member of the tripartite Bosnian Presidency Bakir Izetbegovic recalled that the Dayton Peace Accords ruled that the country will have the balanced number of soldiers with the neighboring countries. He referred to assumptions that Bosnia might be demilitarized and added that it would be a dangerous adventure after all what happened 20 years ago.
Ivan Gasparovic, Slovak President, said during his visit to Banja Luka that if Republika Srpska is successful then Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the West Balkans, will be successful too. He compared relations of Slovakia and Czech Republic to relations of Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina and emphasized that they have to be economically and politically good to have con consensus on EU matters and other international issues.
Balkan Insight has not verified the facts in the original press reports and cannot vouch for their accuracy.

New highways create jobs. What if they are foreign?
Posted By John Latta On December 8, 2010 @ 5:03 pm In eRoadPro Newsletter,The Roadologist | No Comments
Uh oh.
Is this something we are going to see more of?
The case is among the first brought by a union to stop a public project being handled by private investors, an area that is growing in the U.S. as cities and states struggle financially.
That's the Wall Street Journal and the newspaper is referring to the "Gateway to San Fransisco", a highway being built from San Fransisco to the Golden Gate Bridge. The "case" in question occurs because the highway "is being built in a partnership with foreign investors under a new law that allows private firms to build public roads in California. And state engineers, who are missing out on much of the design work, are suing to stop it."
As fund-starved public agencies across the country look to more public-private partnerships — and for that matter it's something a Republican-lead House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in Washington would also love to see — is this case the ghost of PPPs future?
Check out the WSJ article [1] and I think you might be a little worried if such partnerships are part of your future plans.

Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Andrew Baggett's 35-yard field goal in the fourth overtime gave the Missouri Tigers a 51-48 win over the Tennessee Volunteers in a Southeastern Conference nail biter at Neyland Stadium.
James Franklin threw for 226 yards and four touchdowns to help the Tigers (5-5, 2-5 SEC) claim the first-ever meeting between the new conference foes. Kendial Lawrence carried 21 times for 153 yards and two TDs in the victory.
The Volunteers (4-6, 0-6) have yet to notch an SEC victory this season, despite 404 yards passing and four touchdowns from Tyler Bray. Mychal Rivera finished with 129 receiving yards and a touchdown on 10 catches, while Justin Hunter notched nine catches for 141 yards and a score.
Tennessee grabbed a 7-0 lead on Cordarelle Patterson's five-yard touchdown run at the 4:08 mark of the first quarter, capping a nine-play, 88-yard drive.
Missouri's Jimmie Hunt returned the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown, quieting the home crowd.
However, the crowd got right back into it thanks to a couple of lengthy second-quarter touchdown drives by the Volunteers. A.J. Johnson gave UT a 14-7 lead on a three-yard run at the 9:56 mark of the second quarter, and Bray made it a 21-7 game on his 21-yard scoring strike to Rivera with 4:10 to play in the half.
Missouri cut the deficit to 21-14 on a big 77-yard touchdown run by Lawrence on the very first play of the second half.
But on Missouri's next possession, Lawrence lost a fumble and UT's LaDarrell McNeil returned it 33 yards to the Tigers 30-yard line. That turnover helped set up Bray's 16-yard touchdown pass to Alton Howard at the 8:03 mark of the third quarter, which gave UT a 28-14 advantage.
Later in the third quarter, Lawrence atoned for his mistake with a one-yard touchdown run to make it a 28-21 game.
The score would remain that way until the final minute of regulation, when Franklin tossed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dorial Green-Beckham on 4th-and-12 to tie the score and force overtime.
Missouri opened the extra session with a touchdown, as Franklin connected with Hunt for a 24-yard scoring strike. UT answered with an eight-yard TD pass from Bray to Rajion Neal.
The Vols found the end zone again to start the second overtime, as Tyler Drummer scored on a five-yard run. But Missouri would even things up again, as Franklin found Marcus Lucas for an 18-yard scoring strike.
After the teams traded touchdowns again in the third extra session, Missouri's defense came up with a stop in the fourth overtime when Ian Simon broke up a fourth-down pass. Baggett ended the game with his 35-yard field goal on the Tigers' ensuing possession.

NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Japan believe they can frustrate the Netherlands in their crunch FIFA World Cup™ match on Saturday just as they did for large parts in an away friendly last September. The east Asians dominated early against the Dutch before eventually crumbling to a 3-0 defeat, conceding three goals in the last 20 minutes in Enschede.
"We did particularly well in the first half. I think what will matter is how we can keep ourselves focused on our defence in the second half," midfielder Junichi Inamoto said Wednesday at Japan's training base of George.
"We want to attack the ball hard and we know it will be a tough match," said the 30-year-old veteran of three World Cups, who returned to Japan last January after nine years at European clubs including Arsenal and Fulham. "There will be a chance for us to win," added the Kawasaki Frontale player who watched the September friendly from the bench.
Saturday's match in Durban in Group E is key after the Netherlands struggled past Denmark 2-0 and Japan stunned African powerhouse Cameroon 1-0 on Monday. Gamba Osaka midfielder Yasuhito Endo, who played the full 90 minutes in Enschede, warned that the Dutch squad "excel in indiviual skills."
"It won't be an easy match. I think our patience will be tested for a certain length of time," said the 2009 Asian Footballer of the Year.
CSKA Moscow rookie Keisuke Honda, who moved from Dutch side VVV Venlo in January, scored the winner against Cameroon as he played as a frontman although his usual role is as an attacking midfielder. Japan coach Takeshi Okada is widely expected to use the same first team against the Dutch, with former Mallorca striker Yoshito Okubo and Grenoble midfielder Daisuke Matsui in support.

New Edition! We've updated this eBook to include content from two special reports on education. "Learning in the Digital Age" is included almost in its entirety as the new Section 7 and analyzes the effects of the digital revolution on education. In addition, two articles from MIND's report "The Science of Better Learning" are included in Section 2: "For the Love of Math" and "The Science of Handwriting." The first examines the benefits of guided-discovery programs like JUMP in teaching math, and the second discusses research that shows forming words by hand rather than typing may lead to longer-term memories. These and the rest of the articles in this collection explore how learning is a scientific process and offer the latest theories of education. Section 1, "The Lesson Plan," begins with how children learn and includes an eye-opening piece by Scientific American Editor Ingrid Wickelgren on how honing certain psychological skills not only enhances learning but also helps kids fight frustration and ward off stress. Other sections cover teaching the three Rs, the unique requirements of gifted children, controversies of class size, roles of parents and teachers and the imperative to improve science teaching. Individual articles delve into specific issues such as how a focus on intellect over effort can negatively affect potential, the role that errors play in retention, how physical activity boosts academic achievement, the effects of parents versus peer groups on behavior and much more. In this anthology, Scientific American has gathered some of its best reporting on the challenges, successes and the execution of a scientific approach to education. Together, they help construct a path for success for the next generation.

Colorado's governor, Denver's mayor and other dignitaries receive a more robust Denver police response than the public under new rules recently adopted by the city's 911 system.
The policy change, which went into effect at the end of December, requires Denver police dispatchers to notify a patrol supervisor when "Federal, State or Local Dignitaries (such as the Mayor or Governor) or personnel within their office requests or requires a police response on the dignitary's behalf."
By comparison, Aurora dispatch doesn't have such a policy.
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock's office in October complained about having to wait for more than 35 minutes for a dispatcher to send a patrol unit to respond to a burglary report from the office.
That incident culminated in the firing of the dispatcher, who contends the mayor's office should have had to wait like everyone else for police resources to become available.
Rowena Alegria, Hancock's director of communications, said the mayor's office did not seek the firing. The mayor also did not request the new policy, she said.
Under police-dispatch policies for the public, dispatchers are supposed to first try to deploy precinct police patrols for non-emergency calls and then go down a list of potential alternative police resources if precinct units are busy. Dispatchers inform patrol supervisors after an hour passes without response, and then each hour after that.
Daelene Mix, director of communications for the city's safety department, said the policy change was not prompted by the handling of the burglary report from the mayor's office.
"It was done to ensure appropriate awareness," Mix said. "It makes sense that patrol supervisors should be informed when a dignitary's safety may be compromised, as dignitaries move all over the city and patrol supervisors are rarely aware of their location unless notified."
She added that enhanced patrol supervisor notifications are given to calls received from the public in some instances such as Amber alerts or domestic-violence situations involving a weapon.
High-profile incidents
Denver's 911 system has come under criticism for its emergency response in three high-profile incidents that ended in deaths. In an April 14 incident, a Denver police officer asked a 911 dispatcher to "step up cover" after he realized the dispatcher hadn't communicated the urgency of a domestic-violence call during which the woman was shot dead, documents show.
A Sudanese refugee was fatally shot in February 2012 after a dispatcher violated policy and directed him back into Denver toward the scene of a crime he was trying to report. In November, a Denver 911 police dispatcher resigned after questions about the handling of a domestic-violence report that ended in a woman's slaying.
In the case involving the mayor's office, Carl Simpson, director of Denver's 911 system, fired dispatcher Traci Rhodes on April 9 in part for her handling of the burglary report.
Simpson stated in his termination letter to Rhodes that the mayor's office was unhappy with how she handled her dispatching duties on Oct. 31.
After calling to report the burglary, the mayor's staff waited for police to respond for more than 35 minutes, Simpson stated in the letter. Rhodes had been responsible for dispatching service to the mayor's office, but did not do so immediately. An official in the mayor's office called to complain to Mary Beth Klee, the police department's deputy chief of administration.
After that complaint, Klee called 911 operations, and a 911 supervisor ordered Rhodes to dispatch a police unit immediately to handle the report from the mayor's office, and Rhodes did so.
Simpson said in the letter that Rhodes had violated a policy that requires dispatchers to "assess each incident and recognize its importance by viewing it through the customer's perspective."
"The city attorney and a facility maintenance employee were responding to meet with the responding officer," Simpson continued. "You should have recognized that this burglary was a possible security breach to the mayor's office. You should have recognized the importance of dispatching this incident."
Letters of support
Rhodes, in her defense, submitted four letters of support from Denver police officers. She also said that the mayor's office had waited for more than three hours to report what she interpreted to be a cold theft. She said she thought police were busy with other more urgent issues: a noninjury motor-vehicle accident and a report of an aggressive homeless man.
"I thought for cold reports I was supposed to hold for a precinct car to ensure precinct integrity and to eliminate officers running across districts," Rhodes said in a recent interview with The Denver Post.
Simpson said Rhodes should have acted much more quickly. He said officers were available.
"By your own admission, there may have been a security breach as a result of the theft and it should have been treated with more urgency," Simpson stated.
Rhodes had other performance deficiencies, according to Simpson's letter, including failing to use standardized dispatching methods and a Feb. 5 incident in which she left a dispatch station unmonitored for more than three minutes.
"Normal citizens don't call Chief Klee's office and ask for an estimated time of arrival," Rhodes told The Post. "And normally, 911 supervisors don't get involved in failure to appears and tell you to dispatch."
She added: "On any given day, if someone calls in and says they want an ETA, a dispatcher will just say that we're sorry for the delay in response, but we've been busy and and we'll get someone out there as soon as we can."
Gloria Glidden, a former Denver dispatcher who retired in October, said enhanced service for elected officials didn't exist during her nearly 15 years with the city.
"Of course, if the mayor's office has something going on that involves threats or bodily harm or a problem that will affect the city in any way or their operation, absolutely you need to send a car," Glidden said. "But I don't think they should come above and beyond what a normal taxpaying citizen asks for in terms of help."

You could literally use a garden hose to clean your concrete once it is sealed. Call us today to get a free estimate.

Deciding to ride the Tour Divide
Always Riding's good friend Kevin 'Blackhound' Cunniffe is taking part in the epic 'Great Divide' race through America this year, and here, the intrepid adventurer posts his first blog entry about the race, and his reasons for entering. Stay tuned for more posts building up to the event, and also reports from the race itself. Over the you Kevin...
I first read about the Great Divide route about 10 years ago in Cycling and was immediately interested. It told of a 2,500 mile route from the Canada / USA border at Port of Roosville, Montana down The Rockies through wilderness and small town America to Antelope Wells, New Mexico on the USA / Mexico border.
The article told of a trip taking about 75 days, promoted by the Adventure Cycling Association who mapped the route over four years and published it in 1998. There was no way I was going to get about three months off work and this was put into the 'something to do when I retire' pile.
A couple of years later I was aimlessly wandering the new fangled internet looking at Airborne Bikes (now called Van Nicholas in Europe) and saw an article by John Stamstad who had ridden the route in 18 days as a time-trial in 1999, the first time this had been done. This sounded amazing to me though it did pique my interest; perhaps I could do it in say 40-45 days at a fast touring pace camping and using the occasional motel.
Inspired by John Stamstad in 2004 Mike Curiak organised a race over the whole route and seven people started with Mike winning by 24 minutes in 16 days and 57 minutes ahead of three other riders. In 2005 seven people again turned up to start with Matthew Lee winning in 19 days 4 hours.
Numbers started to increase over the next few years and since 2008 there has also been a Grand Depart from Banff in Canada, as well as Port of Roosville, after the official route was extended through the Flathead Valley adding 250 miles to the route. Banff has now become the popular start with 2009 having just two border to border starters and 2010 no starters. I should add that individual time trials are also encouraged, and also in the South to North direction allowing people to attempt the challenge at a time to suit oneself.
The race has no entry fees, no prizes and is entirely self supported, the full website is www.tourdivide.org. The 2008 race also spawned a movie, Ride The Divide showing the beauty and the pain of the race by following three riders. However, it continues to grow with 17 riders in 2008, 42 starters in 2009 and 48 in 2010. At the time of writing there are 68 committed to start in Banff (7 from the UK) with six more riding Northwards from Antelope Wells; I am aware of two UK based riders still to officially declare.
I finished work a few months ago and this is my aim for 2011. I have the usual anxieties of whether I am capable of riding 100 miles a day for a month at altitude, off-road and carrying the full load whilst avoiding bears and with the knowledge that 50% of racers do not finish! Over the next few months I will share with you my progress on my preparation, and kit - have you ever weighed your shorts? Plus, my strategy to manage the Bear issue.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
