Sir Martin Sorrell has warned that Facebook, Twitter and other social networks will struggle to make profits from advertising because their billion users are reluctant to accept promotional activity.
The chief executive of advertising giant WPP, said that it would be dangerous to try to over-monetise social networks because they were "not the right context" for sending commercial messages.
"I have some fundamental doubts about the ability to monetise social platforms," he said.
Sir Martin was speaking at the Royal Television Society's Cambridge Convention after reports that Facebook had been forced to delay its flotation by at least a year

Best of 2014: Here's what's making news in the Plano-Murphy-Wylie communities
Photo: NANETTE LIGHT/neighborsgo staff
The Martinez children didn't grow-up in a military family. They don't come from a long line of veterans. When Rick and Carrie Martinez's oldest, Chris, received his appointment to attend the U.S. Naval Academy in 2009, they didn't expect for four years at Annapolis to become a family tradition. Now, all three children have earned appointments to the academy. The youngest, Jessica, reports for her plebe — freshman — year July 1.

And how many words does that total up to? 101 posts = 250 words? Heh.
If my posts/day average at TFL holds here, I'll hit 10,000 posts sometime in 2006.
December 24, 2002, 02:02 PM
I figure i'll hit 10000 sometime around 2009. Oh well...
I like the forum, it's speedy :)

Quality, not quantity.
Sam's brevity embraces both.
December 24, 2002, 02:17 PM
Now that he's a Moderator, he should get to 10,000 faster, eh??:D
December 24, 2002, 02:19 PM
No... that would be immoderate... :p
December 24, 2002, 03:19 PM
Well, this makes one!!:D
December 25, 2002, 01:43 AM
Heck, I was on TFL for almost 3 years and didn't even make 500 posts. I mostly listen and only talk when needed.
December 25, 2002, 01:50 AM
Sometimes I like to talk and sometimes I like to listen and read. Sam is a good read any day! Remember, "Brevity is the soul of wit." Sam is witty in ther extreme!
December 25, 2002, 02:06 AM
And how many words does that total up to? 101 posts = 250 words? Heh.
Since Sam always signs his posts, the extra Sam doesn't qualify for the total word count.:)
December 25, 2002, 02:29 AM
They work great in my digicam, and have lasted a lot longer than the old alkaline batteries.
I was thinking, I wonder how long Sam could chug away at his postings if he were running on a set of them? :D
December 25, 2002, 02:33 AM
He just keeps going, and going, and going,.....................
December 25, 2002, 02:39 AM
He says so few words,but they are always on track and to the point. There's no wasted "fluff" .. ;)
He takes the phrase, "Cut to the chase!", to the fullest extreme..:D
December 25, 2002, 02:42 AM
I throw in random comments every now and again when required, you know, Glock, 1911, Kel Tec, stuff like that! :)
December 25, 2002, 03:28 AM
Humm, you won't see quite as much of me. When TFL ended I did a soul searching and found:
1) I was far far far far far far too long winded. I made all my posts much longer than they needed to be. I explained the same thing in multiple ways. Things I could have said once in one way I kept saying over and over. I wasn't nearly as concise as I could have been. I just droned on and on.
2) I posted on threads that didn't really say anything or on threads where I didn't really have anything to say.
Those got me both long posts and 1200 posts in one year. Well, this time I'm not going to do it.
December 25, 2002, 07:42 AM
Boy, some of you are burning up the rubber - er, keyboard! - catching up on your post count!!! As of about 6.40 a.m. Christmas day, the "Top Ten Posters" list looks like this:
(Username - date joined THR - post count):
C.R.Sam December 19th, 2002 130

PATH December 24th, 2002 41
Tamara December 20th, 2002 40
Three of you have posted as much in 18 hours as some of the moderators and administrators did in 5+ days!!! Should we institute a speed limit here? :D
December 25, 2002, 08:10 AM
Damn, I gotta start all over again!
Somebody start a heated argument or something to get this ball rolling!
I know Glock 9mm's suck and 1911.45's Rule!!!
P.S. thank you guys for giving us another outlet.

December 25, 2002, 10:35 AM
Isn't this where someone steps in and asks "And just HOW is this firearm related?" :D
I was on TFL for years and averaged .4 posts a day. I was just doing some searching over there and realized that I'd actually registered 3 times! I suspect that I'll write far more than one post every two days on TFR (http://www.theFiringRange.com/) but doubt it here on THR.
Top posters on TFL:
C.R.Sam 10-29-1999 13111
Mike Irwin 04-13-2000 11852
George Hill 10-13-1998 11596

December 25, 2002, 10:39 AM
Yup. I might post more, if I have anything to add.;)
December 25, 2002, 11:13 AM
Well, on *ahem* other forums, I've been known to rack up some big numbers, but I've decided to slow down and pace myself.
That, and I've decided to actually have a life outside the internet - whatever that might be! :D
December 25, 2002, 11:16 AM
The race is on...are we starting a pool? 1st to 1000? 2500? 5000? Kinda nice tho, new forum, fresh start & all.
December 25, 2002, 11:23 AM
He is shy on this thread though!:D

We're talking about talking about firearms. :rolleyes:
December 25, 2002, 11:38 AM
Should we institute a speed limit here?
As Sammy Hagar would say, "I can't drive 55..!! " :D
2nd Amendment
December 25, 2002, 11:49 AM
I prattle on needlessly but every once in a while a thread comes along that's good enough to really dive in to, like the OKC thread on TFL, and the posts really rack up. I figure if I hang around page five of the Top Posters I am doing OK. Not too verbose but still noticeable. :)
Now if I ever learn Sam's technique...
December 25, 2002, 02:37 PM
We're talking about talking about firearms. We are...?!
Nobody ever tells me 'nuttin...!

December 30, 2002, 04:57 PM
admit it this whole thread is just an excuse to pad posts. :D
December 30, 2002, 06:58 PM
In two years on TFL I don't think I posted at all- just read it everyday.
Now I want to get to "senior member" after which I may retire- unless they come up with, say, "very senior member".;)
December 30, 2002, 10:02 PM
Update... Top posters as at 8.58 p.m. on December 30, 2002:
Blackhawk - 359
Preacherman - 282
Schuey2002 - 253
re1973 - 198
Tamara - 194
C.R.Sam - 190
Derek Zeanah - 178
Steve Smith - 136
Gewehr98 - 129
Considering that those in 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th places are moderators and administrators who had racked up a large post count before we officially opened for business, the rest of the list must have friction burns on their keyboard fingers by now! :D Personally, I think Blackhawk has made a bet with someone that they owe him a case of the hard stuff if he makes 1,000 posts within his first month of membership...
December 30, 2002, 10:44 PM
I think he has a thread hidden somewhere and just keeps hitting "return" "backpage" "return"
December 30, 2002, 11:18 PM
I noticed that Blackhawk has over 56 posts PER DAY!
Gotta respect that!
December 31, 2002, 12:08 PM
or on vacation? Or just tired? He seems to be falling behind. Or is slow and steady wins the race?;)
December 31, 2002, 12:44 PM
CR Sam is pacing himself.
"Slow and steady wins the race !", is what he is aiming for.:)
December 31, 2002, 12:58 PM
Rec'd a note from Sam saying he would be offline for a bit
December 31, 2002, 01:57 PM
2 years lurking and 2 years as a member at TFL, I only had 28 post I should make member here by 2009.
January 1, 2003, 01:48 AM
Something to look forward to! NO! I am not padding my post total!:D
January 1, 2003, 02:28 AM
Personally, I think Blackhawk has made a bet with someone that they owe him a case of the hard stuff if he makes 1,000 posts within his first month of membership... Idle speculation, and I'm ashamed of you!

Migration: Kunena to vBulletin
vBulletin does not support Kunena import
And do not have any plans to add it in future and so can anybody tell me some more information on this.
How can I do this.
Re: Migration: Kunena to vBulletin
The best option I can think off is move from Kunena to some other forum which vBulletin supports say phpBB and then move from phpBB to vBulletin.
You need to find a middle software which supports Kunena and then make sure that one is supported by vBulletin.
Re: Migration: Kunena to vBulletin
I'm using kunena now,it works great with joomla as it's a joomla component
why you want to change it?

Recording: Dr. Rose Van Thyn on the Holocaust
Holocaust survivor Rose Van Thyn of Shreveport has dedicated herself to retelling her story so that people will not forget or repeat the horrors that she, her family, and millions of others faced during World War II. For her extraordinary community service, Mrs. Van Thyn was awarded the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at Centenary's 2002 commencement exercises. As an Attaway Fellow in Civic Culture, she regularly visits the campus and speaks to students about her experiences.
We caught up with "Dr. Rose," as she is affectionately called, during Dr. Lisa Nicolettis Holocaust class January 27, 2009.

Five months after their engagement, Howard Stern and fiancée Beth Ostroksy are no nearer to announcing plans for their nuptials.
"Well, we don't really have wedding plans," Stern told PEOPLE Saturday at a party hosted by Hamptons magazine, which features Ostrosky on the cover. "We're enjoying being engaged. We like the whole idea of being engaged. We think we like it even more than the idea of being married."
As for their future plans, "we think for another year we could be engaged," he said.
The news will come as no surprise to those who recall Stern's vow never to marry again after a fake wedding announcement on his radio show last year. "I am not married," he said at the time. "It's a nice feeling that we get along great. We're very happy and I don't want to f--- it up."
But Stern, 53 does seem to plan to tie the knot with Ostrosky – at some point. "I never thought I would get married again," he said. "Beth's a special girl. It just worked out."
And when pushed for what sort of wedding they might have, Stern joked, "Sometimes we fantasize about actually having a wedding with the white dress and the whole thing – because I look great in a white dress. . . . But then we think we'd just have some friends over for a party, something like that."

WEST FARMINGTON -?At the age of 86, Ruth Jean Hawkins recently retired after nearly 27 years as the director of the Farmington Senior Center where she has become a well-known member of the northern Trumbull County community.
Almost every day since 1984, Hawkins would leave her home and arrive at the nearby center where she would start the coffee, open the doors and greet the many people who would stop by.
Hawkins started as the center director in 1984 when it opened, and it soon became her second home. She stayed there until her retirement just last month.

QUOTE: " I think my proudest moment is seeing the center grow and getting to meet all the great people who come here and never have to leave as a stranger.''
Community Star Ruth Jean?Hawkins often brings her Yorkie-poo Molly to work with her.
She and her late husband, Dick, had gone to the Trumbull County Planning Commission with hopes of starting the center. The commission helped them to obtain an $85,000 grant for a center, which eventually was built next to the fire station at the village center.
"Some said it couldn't be done and we proved we could,'' she said.
The center averages about 30 visitors per day who take part in various activities, enjoy meals, attend health fairs and listen to guest speakers.
Fact Box
NAME: Ruth Jean Hawkins
ADDRESS: West Farmington
YEARS LIVING HERE: 66 years
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES / MEMBERSHIPS: Farmington Senior Center, St. Edwards Catholic Church of Parkman, Women's Relief Corps.
Over the years the center has added a kitchen stove, a wheelchair ramp, a refrigerator and a new addition to the building with help from another grant.
"I think my proudest moment is seeing the center grow and getting to meet all the great people who come here and never have to leave as a stranger. I get a lot of hugs from all the people I see," Hawkins said.
Hawkins said after living more than 65 years in West Farmington she has learned that everyone knows one another.
"You are not afraid. Everyone knows everyone else here and supports each other," she said.
Hawkins and others at the center spend time making lap robes and stocking caps which she takes to the Middlefield Nursing Home for the past 32 years.
In recent years, she has delivered more than 400 lap robes to the nursing home.
Hawkins said the center is like a second home for so many people who enjoy spending time there. It is open to all ages with many grandparents bringing their grandchildren to the center when there is a snow day from school or a holiday.
"Many grandparents say their grandchildren tell them they want to go to the center," she said,
Even Hawkins' 4-year-old yorkie poo, "Molly" feels at home at the center. Hawkins said she brings the small dog, that has become so popular it acts as the center's mascot.
"I brought her when she was six weeks old," Hawkins said.
Hawkins is active in the community often attending both the West Farmington village council and Farmington township trustee meetings.
Diane Drawl, who nominated Hawkins for the award, said she had visited the center last year when Hawkins had the Christmas village display set up. The Christmas display has been done for many years and includes an extensive village on top of a snowy blanket made to look like multiple villages on a snow-covered mountain. There also many lighting affects, moving parts, a train and an amusement park.
''That was the first time I had met her. I am amazed at her energy and enthusiasm and the pride she shares with her local and extended community with her service at the center. She is there from when the center opens until it closes,'' Drawl said.
''She has done such much for West Farmington,'' she said.
Drawl said Hawkins provides a wonderful atmosphere at the center so that people can congregate and socialize.
''She obviously enjoys her time there as her smiling face is one of the first to greet you when you walk through the door,'' Drawl said.
Amber Hawkins said her grandmother has been ''a pillar of West Farmington and the Senior Center.'' She said just as the center has become a staple in the community so has her grandmother.
''The best times of her life have come from the experiences created at the senior center. Her family and friends always knew where to find her if she wasn't at home,'' she said.

If you're wondering about women and wealth, consider:
• Women now control 51% of private wealth and by 2010 are expected to own half of the wealth in the United States. Due to longevity, women inherit 70% of all estates.
• Women own 6.2 million businesses, and women of color own 1.2 million of them. More than half of high net worth women business owners and executives contribute more than $25,000 to charity each year, including 19% who contribute $100,000 or more.
• More than one-third of all the existing 60,000 foundations have been formed since 1996. Worldwide, 150 women's funds have combined assets of $630 million.
Yes, the collective wealth is there, but so are problems:
• Women are two-thirds of adults living in poverty.
• Only one-third of teen moms graduate from high school.
• Women aged 46 to 64 are twice as likely as men to lack health insurance.
• Economic justice issues are linked to health disparity issues, which are then linked to racism, classism and other forms of discrimination.
Tori O'Neal McIlrath is the interim president/CEO of the Washington DC-based nonprofit group Women & Philanthropy. She updated a presentation by her predecessor, Kim Otis, who addressed the 7th biennial Forum on Women and Philanthropy in Madison WI in November, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
No stranger to the philanthropic world, McIlrath has been on both sides of the fence, as a non-profit executive and as a foundation insider. "I've worked with the recipients of grants and I know just how far $10,000 can go and how far funds can be leveraged," she said.
A golden opportunity
It's expected that $41 trillion will soon transfer to the next generation in the largest intergenerational shift of money ever seen. That incredible amount offers both promise and challenges. "The IRS reported in 1998 that 2.5 million of the top wealth holders in the country were women with a combined amount of $4.2 trillion," said McIlrath. "With that many women with those assets, what type of impact could they have?"
But "If women aren't empowered and don't learn how to give effectively, what will that mean for the world?" she asked.
For many years, funders and even nonprofits tended to focus on a narrow set of issues. But as research is showing, putting money to work at the intersection of these various problems actually helps leverage the dollars. For example, improving the status of women can improve child health and well being, reduce illiteracy and raise the standard of living for the entire family. And supporting the family begins to make positive changes in the life of those in the community and ultimately, an entire country.
Women are moved to give for very different reasons than men. "Women are focused on the work that the contribution is going to do," said McIlrath. "Their philosophy is to have the recipient take this gift and leverage it." Men view their giving in a more competitive way.
There's also another significant difference. In general, when men give substantial amounts of money, their names will be on a building or at the very least, on a plaque that will visually recognize their gift. "There's a trend for women to give anonymously," she said. Women & Philanthropy wants women givers to let people know about their gifts and encourages them to see the power that their philanthropic leadership has on the community.
Three reasons for philanthropy
• Fairness framework. Based on the equal justice movements of the 1960s and 70s, this framework launched the organization nearly 30 years ago. "Women & Philanthropy really worked to make a clear case that discrimination against women was rampant and that it was wrong," said McIlrath. The group pushed for more women on the boards of trustees and increases in the number of women-led organizations, hopes their voices would be heard.
Today, women make up 52% of foundation CEOs, 72% of program officers and 31% of foundation board members. While the numbers represent a definite improvement, "Unfortunately, they haven't translated into increases in funding going to women and girls' issues," she added.
• Effectiveness framework . Most popular among funders today, this framework is based on disparate effect. Women and men experience the problems that philanthropy seeks to remedy differently. Improving a woman's life also betters the lives of others in a way that is not true for men.
The effectiveness framework believes that if foundations want to be more effective with their grant making, they cannot ignore gender issues. Issues like poverty and HIV/AIDS have a disproportionate affect on women. Women and girls generally occupy different social roles that call for different program designs. We're also socialized to expect to play dif-ferent roles, especially leadership ones, from those of males.
Too many times, funders simply adopt the philosophy of "universal" funding and don't examine the target populations carefully. One way of ensuring effective grant-making is to require gender impact statements, which report the effect of programs on both females and males.
• Human rights framework . This framework provides advocates and funders a way of tying gender issues to other topics. It looks at issues holistically, focuses on intersections and is measurable.
One solution does not fit all. Take for example, a poor woman living in a rural community who lacks health care and is harmed by pesticides sprayed on area fields from an agri-business. What will improve her life? The human rights framework realizes that in addition to civil and political rights, women and girls also have social, economic and cultural rights.
With the Kellogg Foundation, Women & Philanthropy plans to publish a book on effective philanthropy in 2006.

|Awards :
|Judges Choice Award at London MCM Expo May 2012
|Time Taken :

|Showcased at London MCM Expo May 2012 where I won an award for my armour detailing.
I wasn't too keen on the female/male in-game armour so this costume is based on the armour from the Live Action trailer/concept art.
Made from lot's of EVA foam, acrylic primer, paper clay and air-drying clay. I'm still finding the faux fur on everything, which was hand-dyed for accuracy.
Looking to have a photoshoot with the costume in the next few months, but for now I have some really good on-stage shots courtesy of Many Lemons.
Excellent costume, very well made!
Definetly deserved the award! =D

Is this a good idea?
New York City is buying one-way plane tickets for homeless families to leave the city.
It's part of a program by Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration to keep the homeless out of the expensive shelter system, which costs $36,000 a year per family.
More than 550 families have left the city since 2007. All it takes is for a relative to agree to take them in.
The city employs a travel agency for domestic travel and the Department of Homeless Services handles international travel.
City officials say there are no limits on where a family can be sent and families can reject the offer.
Families have been sent to 24 states and five continents, mostly to Puerto Rico, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.
City officials say none of the relocated families have returned to city shelters.

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield College graduates were celebrated for "showing up for life," and told "it's always the right time to do the right thing," by speakers during the school's 128th commencement ceremony Sunday morning.
The ceremony concluded a weekend of activities including the graduate degree ceremony held Saturday on the college campus. Overall 600 master's degrees, five certificates of advanced graduate study, nine doctor of philosophy degrees, and 30 doctoral of physical therapy degrees were awarded. At the undergraduate commencement on Sunday, 944 bachelor's degrees were awarded for a two-day total of 1588 degrees, said Springfield College president Mary-Beth A. Cooper.
The commencement address was given by Dr. G. Richard Olds, as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s commencement speech at Springfield College in 1964. The College has recognized this historic moment with a series of special events honoring Glenn A. Olds and King during the 2013-14 academic year. The senior Olds withstood controversy in inviting King to speak at the 1964 commencement.
"To the Class of 2014, I would point out that the future will often place many obstacles in your way," said Richard, who spent his childhood, from ages of 7 to 15, growing up on campus. "The road will not always be easy. You will need to find the inner strength to overcome those obstacles and be guided by your own moral compass. Fight for what you believe in with your whole body, mind, and spirit. Let the spirit of Springfield College guide your future as it did for my father."
He recalled stories told by his father of getting calls from the FBI telling him to cancel King's speech. King was arrested two days before the event and Glenn Olds threatened to broadcast the speech from jail if he was not released. King was quickly released on $900 bail, Richard Olds said.
Joining Olds on stage was Tony King, captain of the 1934 American Legion Post 21 Baseball Team, who accepted the Springfield College Humanics Achievement Award on behalf of his team.
The Springfield College Humanics Achievement Award recognizes an individual or group who has exhibited courage in the face of adversity, demonstrated leadership in service to others, advanced diversity and inclusion, served as a champion for the oppressed, furthered education in spirit, mind, and body, or contributed significantly to the understanding of the universe.
The 1934 American Legion Post 21 Baseball Team took a stand against racial discrimination at a regional baseball championship tournament in Gastonia, N.C. After learning that other participating teams would not compete against the American Legion Post 21 squad because they had an African-American player on the roster by the name of Ernest "Bunny" Taliaferro, the American Legion Post 21 youngsters decided to support their teammate, forfeit the tournament, and head back to Springfield.
Class representative Meredith Barone, a 3.9 GPA graduate from New Haven, Conn., told students that even through rough circumstances every student who made it to graduation "showed up for life."
"Some of us have had days when the world looks so dark and yet we get out of bed and show up for life. Just like the church bombing in Birmingham, some of us have suffered significant loss and yet we get out of bed and show up for life. Just like the marchers on the road from Selma...we show up for life. It proves to me we are the answer, we walk the walk," she said.

You can choose the style - and finish later, giving you the stress free luxury of time.
So sad to find out we missed the opportunity to pay homage to the fabulous flightless fowl that inspired the equally fabulous fluid Penguin faucet!! Visit our jaunty friends here:

He is a fantastic addition to the SSI family and we are very lucky to have him!

This book is by no means an extended treatise on clinical genetics, but rather a discussion of the genetic implications of several very large areas of clinical medicine including cytogenetic syndromes, X-linked diseases and linkage, inborn errors of metabolism, molecular disease, infection and immunity, cancer, and degenerative diseases and aging. These sections are preceded by a chapter on Mendelism (with some population genetical considerations) and on phenogenetics.
The first chapter conveys rather vividly the general nature of the book. It is obviously written by an astute and articulate scholar (BS California Institute of Technology, MD Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Pediatrician, Fellow Children's Hospital, Los Angeles, Guggenheim Fellow, National Foundation Fellow, PhD Biochemistry and Genetics, in 1956 chairman Department of Pediatrics, City of Hope) and yet it tries to do too much in too few pages.

Eligible Westchase students have a parent or guardian residing within the boundaries of the Westchase Community Association (WCA), including residents of the West Park Village Apartments and Lexington apartments.
Since the inception of the program in 2006, the WOW Scholars program has awarded dozens of scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, to Westchase college-bound students. Last year WOW awarded seven $2,500 scholarships; winners were featured in our June 2015 cover story.

Supporting materials for the application include certified copies of the student's high school transcript; copies of SAT and/or ACT score reports; two character reference letters, one of which must attest to community service; and a personal essay including information about the student's community service, academic achievements, other achievements, personal goals, and any other information or factors, including need, that the student believes bears upon why he or she should receive a scholarship.

The price to play
Erick Johnson | 3/27/2014, 9 a.m.
First in a two-part series
With a headset, Donald Young Jr. stood in the hallway of the stadium court waiting as Serena Williams battled her resilient opponent, Caroline Garcia from France. His match was next. So Young began stretching and exercising for his showdown against 10th seeded John Isner.
Young had plenty of time. Garcia had a ferocious forehand that gave Williams much trouble. But after a vicious two-hour battle, Williams finally put Garcia away, winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
But Young was not so fortunate. He lost 7-6, 6-1 to Isner, a tall American with booming serves.
Young would be among a string of Black players to lose miserably at the SonyOpen. The next day, 19-year-old Madison Keys lost in the third round to second-seeded Li Na from China 7-6, 6-3. The next day rising star Sloane Stephens suffered a humiliating 6-1,6-0 defeat against Danish player Caroline Wozniacki. Haitian-American player Victoria Duval lost in the first round to a Dutch qualifier Kiki Bertens who dismissed the promising 18-year-old 7-6 (7-5), 6-1.
But Black tennis players have been losing for years, with many going up against wealthy White families with vast resources and connections.And with longstanding problems such as single-parent households, discrimination and little resources, Black players are dropping out as they find themselves outmatched in a sport that's breeding bigger, stronger men and women players who play with more power than ever before.
As tennis gets bigger so does the money. Corporations and tournaments, including the Grand Slams are doling out millions of dollars in endorsement deals and prize money. Wealthy parents are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on expensive academies, hiring $900 an-hour celebrity coaches to make their kid the next tennis star.
These demands have helped the tennis industry grow into a billion dollar business. According to the Tennis Industry Association, the sport generated $5.57 billion in revenue in 2012, a net growth of about 3 percent.
As a result, the competition and pressure to win has dramatically escalated, driving costs to astronomical levels, leaving Blacks unable to afford to stay in the sport. And with budget cutbacks in local governments and national organizations still reeling from the economic recessions, the situation is getting worse.
"It really hurts me because the sports has been so expensive," said Michael Parks, a coach who teaches at Pompei Park in Delray Beach.
Parks is the father of Alycia, and Mikayla, who are ranked 38th and 53rd respectively in their age brackets. Many are saying they arethe next Venus and Serena Williams.
But the Parks sisters are the exception more than the rule. Critics say Black players are suffering far worse than their White counterparts in tennis programs that have failed to produce a top American male player since Andy Roddick captured the U.S. Open in 2003. With affluent White and foreign players grabbing the spotlight, critics say talented, less affluent Blacks who may pull the U.S. out its slump against European players are being overlooked and even forced out for one simple reason: money.

Golfweek Challenge on Tap for Womens Golfers
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State women's golf team will face its strongest field yet when the Cardinals take part in this week's Golfweek Conference Challenge in Wolcott, Colo.
The 54-hole event starts Monday and runs through Wednesday on the Fazio Course at Red Sky Golf Club. Of the 18 competing teams, 11 finished last year ranked among the top 100 in the country and six were ranked in the top 50.
Ball State will be playing its third tournament of the fall, having placed second at Illinois State's Redbird Invitational and 11th at Louisville's Cardinal Cup.
Junior Jenna Hague leads Ball State with a pair of top-10 finishes, including a win at the Redbird Invite. With a 72.17 stroke average, she has played to a combined score of 1-over par through six rounds.
Senior Meghan Perry is second on the team with a 76.17 stroke average and also owns a top-10 finish this season. Perry is joined in the lineup by two other seniors in Sarah Westaway and Mary Welch.
Meghan McDougall, a sophomore transfer, completes the lineup this week. McDougall will be playing in her first event for Ball State.
The full field for the tournament includes Ball State, Boston College, Central Arkansas, Denver, East Tennessee State, FIU, Harvard, Illinois State, Indiana, James Madison, Morehead State, Northern Arizona, Pepperdine, San Jose State, SMU, TCU, UALR and UC Davis.
The action gets underway Monday with tee times starting at 10 a.m. MT (Noon ET). Live scoring for the tournament is available at golfstat.com.

A 25-year-old Sussex County man was arrested this afternoon, two days after he followed a woman and her 12-year-old daughter to their vehicle in a Frankford shopping mall and stole the woman's purse, state police officials said.
In a brief violent struggle, Michael Bowden of Hampton Township allegedly grabbed the 48-year-old woman's purse, then forced her to the ground and dragged her across the parking lot at Marshall's, authorities said. The woman suffered an unspecified injury during the attack, which occurred at approximately 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
With the pocketbook in hand, Bowden then ran to the rear of the store, located in the Sussex County Mall on Route 206, and fled in his car, a black Pontiac Sunfire.
Witness statements led to Bowden's arrest two days later and the pocketbook was recovered by State Police detectives in a marshy area bordering the Hampton Commons development, where Bowden lived on Hampton Spring Road, about a mile north of the mall. The pocketbook was returned to the victim.
Bowden has been charged with robbery, theft and assault. He is being held in the Sussex County jail on $50,000 bail.

Posted on July 1, 2013 in Pro Tennis Talk
Since arriving in London I've been very busy. Although the weather has not been exceptional, I have managed to get a few good days of practice in. Unfortunately it has been difficult to find grass courts that are dry and in good shape. I had a practice scheduled today at the Hurlingham Club in Putney, but the fabulous English "summer" had other plans and its been raining for most of the day.
Hurlingham is supposed to have some of the best grass courts in the country, but because of the weather they've been closed and covered for the day. So today I am going to have to practice indoors and hope that I can come back some other time and experience the grass courts.
Outside of practicing I've been fortunate enough to go to watch Wimbledon twice. I went on Tuesday afternoon and all day on Thursday. What an amazing experience! There really is no tournament like Wimbledon! Both days I had a ground pass so I was free to watch all of the matches on the outside courts, which during the first week of the tournament is really all you need. I watched some great matches on Tuesday, including Feliciano Lopez versus Gilles Simon. On Wednesday, most of the great matches were on the main show courts. I did however, manage to watch a lot of great doubles matches, a singles match between Steve Johnson, a former NCAA champion and USC standout, and Bobby Reynolds, and an absolute thriller of a match between Jurgen Melzer and Reister.
It's amazing to watch these pros up close. Their control, balance, and movement is just extraordinary. I think the biggest difference between the top guys and the guys in college and on the Futures circuit is the quality of contact and the fact that these guys just don't miss returns and first serves. It's sounds obvious but it's unbelievable how many great serves the top guys are able to get back in play, with interest.
This week has been really great and such an unexpected treat. Now it's my turn to get onto the grass and slap the ball around a bit. Unfortunately it won't be the grass of Wimbledon, but I'm definitely feeling motivated, inspired and excited after watching the big boys. I leave for Manchester tomorrow morning. Sign in is on Saturday and the tournament starts on Sunday. Really looking forward to it!

In a reply to my criticisms of the false suffocationalarm theory of panic attacks,1 Klein2 stated that "Ley inexplicably ignores my discussion of Ondine's Curse." The explanation for this omission lies in my attempt to keep my letter within the 750-word limit recommended by the editor in his "Instructions for Authors," a limit that would have been grossly exceeded if I had used the same 600 words used in an earlier explanation3 of why the Ondine curse does not prove the existence of a suffocation alarm and why the curse is not the "pharmacological converse of panic disorders."4
My criticism might best be presented in the format of 2 questions. If the Ondine curse (the arrestation of breathing during sleep) proves that sleep free of suffocation depends on the existence of a suffocation alarm (presumably true alarms activated by the buildup of carbon dioxide) and if

The singer posted a letter to her fans on Monday blasting false reports regarding how she shed the pounds.
"Though I NEVER care what the tabloids have to say about me … I wanted to address this certain story they are running this week and set the record straight. I DID NOT have surgery to lose weight. That is ridiculous," she wrote.
Added the star: "I lost my weight the healthy and good old fashioned way. Watching what I eat and working out with my trainer Bill Crutchfield."
Lambert, who dropped a dress size, also admits in the letter that she doesn't know how many pounds she's lost.
"It's not about a scale. It's about how you feel and how your jeans fit. And on November 10th when I turned 30, my skinny jeans were finally baggy! Mission accomplished! So for anyone who is tempted to read the "Trash Talk" please don't," she said. "I am proud to be a normal size girl and I want to encourage everyone to be confident at any size."
The singer recently told PEOPLE the key to her successful weight loss is portion control and her workouts with Crutchfield.
"We do cardio, a lot of circuit training. We do things with my body weight, like lunges. A lot of stuff with [resistance] bands," she said. "The stuff nobody loves, but it works!"

Sarah Phillips evaluates what impact Peyton Manning has on next year's contenders:
Is it possible that Indianapolis will hold on to Manning and draft Stanford star Andrew Luck? Sure, but a mentor-pupil scenario doesn't seem viable with Manning due $28 million in March. If Indy decides to retain Manning, then it would make the most sense to draft for immediate gratification — a running back, linebacker or cornerback. Or, Indy could trade the top pick for veteran talent to fill its multiple gaps on defense. However, Colts owner Jim Irsay has said publicly that he's planning to draft Luck with the No. 1 overall pick.
Still, according to oddsmakers, the Colts' best chance to win it all next season definitely comes with Manning under center.
Odds to win Super Bowl XLVII with Peyton Manning: 25:1

S/S are playing for bronze because of their pesky 3A attemps
now Pang/Tong will likely win silver
Whenever I see Nodari I remember how waisted a talent like Iliushechkina has gone...
I so much like S/S programs this year, with fall and all they have such personality!
Mm yeah, I don't think the Axel is worth it with this sort of a success rate and it's an extremely dangerous move... I think that they should be able to get the 2 points more easily from other parts of their program.
For the sake of S/S I hope Aliona was crying from frustration and not pain. This doesn't bode well.
i totally agree...
their LP Les Miserables is great program, sure they have issues with SBS with his injuries
but you saw how judges are still happy to reward them even with mistakes
atm, P/T are at par with S/S
I don't get the S/S are at par with V/T
that's like saying V/M are better than D/W

Weird, this girl actually has a really good voice. I wonder what this song is called.
3Lz 6.0
In pairs, base value for throws
3Lz 5.5
3Lo 5.0
So I ask you-considering that there was only one pair that landed 3ATh a reasonable number of times, should it be work 1 points less than a 3A?
For that matter, considering that very few 4STh's have been landed, should one be worth 2.5 points less?
Kudos to Castelli & Shnapir and Savchenko & Szolkowy for going for these difficult elements, but the rewards should be commensurate.

All eyes in the Frontier Central gymnasium were on Lancaster's Courtney Bondanza.
She headed into the last event, the vault, with a comfotable lead in the all-around. But, in gymnastics, it would only have taken one slip or one misstep for her chance to repeat as the Section VI all-around champion to go down the drain.
That didn't happen.
Bondanza stuck a front handspring, front double-tuck, winning the event with a score of 9.525, defending her title as the Section VI all-around champion with a score of 37.500.
"Amazing," Bondanza said. "I don't even know how to describe it."
Her performance can be described as outstanding. The sophomore, who also holds the state title in the vault and balance beam, won the vault, the floor (9.425) and the uneven bars (9.400). Her all-around score was a half-point better than last year's (36.975).
The only event she didn't win was taken by her teammate, Rachel Filipski, who won the balance beam with a score of 9.325. Filipski, who cheered on seemingly everyone in the gymnasium, took second in the all-around with a score of 37.375, second in the uneven bars (9.325), third in the vault (9.475) and fifth in her floor routine (9.250).
Those two will return to states in March at Smithtown-East High School on Long Island and try to lead Lancaster to its sixth-straight team title.
"We have a tradition of winning at Lancaster and that makes it easier for the girls," said Lancaster coach Donna Aquino, who's in her 25th year of coaching. "I don't know if we ever lost what they would do. We always seem to carry a strong program and we seem to carry that tradition on year after year."
Aquino coaches the Section VI state team, which will be looking to defend its title after winning it all last year and has a good shot to repeat. They return seven gymnasts from last year's team, including Williamsville South's Miranda Roberson.
Roberson was attempting to carry her family name as the best gymnast in Western New York. Her brother, Noah, won the boys all-around title Thursday. Miranda, though, finished third in the girls all-around with a score of 36.675, led by a second-place finish on the floor (9.400).
Others making their return to states include Sweet Home's Jill Daddario, who was named most outstanding senior with a second in the vault (9.500) and third on the floor (9.400), Williamsville South's Lily Szafranski, and Williamsville East's Ana Reyes and Alexis Frankowski. Lancaster's Mackenzie Donner will be a newcomer to states.
"It's a good crew," Aquino said. "We don't compete until March so we just hope everyone stays healthy … but if we keep this same team we should have a very good showing."

In my Thursday column, I wrote about the contretemps between conservative political consultant Rick Shaftan and Todd Christie, the brother of the governor.
It occurred during the 2009 Republican primary campaign when Shaftan was working for Christie's conservative opponent, former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan. Read up on it here.
That tiff brought back memories of Chris Christie's bad old days in the 1990s when he was running for office in Morris County, and getting in a lot of fights with his fellow Republicans.
The Washington Post recently ran a 1994 Christie attack ad for which he was sued and later had to apologize.
Above is an attack ad that no one sued over, perhaps because it's just funny, not libelous. Shaftan produced it for Mike Carroll, who was then Christie's opponent in a race for the Assembly seat Carroll won and still holds to this day.
Take a look. You'll quickly realize the Carroll campaign didn't have a big budget.
That's Shaftan making his acting debut as one of the guys covered in mud.
Carroll, who long ago buried the hatchet with Christie, will be serving on that bipartisan committee in investigating Bridgegate.
So it will be fun to see how much mud flies in those committee meetings.
AND ANOTHER THING: Note how Mike Carroll was taking principled stands on actual issues, something Christie rarely does. Back in 1995, coming out against affirmative action was considered right-wing radical stuff. Princess Whitman ostracized Carroll for this. She was happy to get political points for helping minorities but didn't care in the least that it was at the expense of ethnic white people.
Christie loves to duck these issues as well. Do you know where he stands on immigration?

Quit Playing Games (with my heart)
First-time director Bonnie Hunt pays slavish adherence to the Nora Ephron rules of assembly for the prefab rom-com: emotion-cueing whitebread soundtrack, ostentatious attention to given urban landscapehere it's Chicagothat renders a bland, mall-bought local flavor, and sentimental longing for the "chaste" relationship comedies of the '30s and '40s, necessitating some prudish gimmick designed to leave our predestined lovers laissez-faire. In Return to Me, it's Minnie Driver's self-consciousness about her heart-transplant scar that keeps widower architect David Duchovny out of her blouse. He stays out long enough, in fact, to discover that Minnie received his dead wife's heart (the creepiest high-concept date-movie twist since, um, Kissed). Missing from the Ephron stew, however, is the usual smarmy bourg air of entitlement, since Hunt makes gimpy efforts at some working-class heroism (Driver works with her extended brood at a restaurant dive; Duchovny might carry a cell phone, but he drives a truck and wears a hard hat to work), leaving us with less to hate but not more to like.
Centuries of Ivy League entitlement get an energetic and thoroughly brainless dressing-down from The Skulls, in which Joshua Jackson plays an ambitious Yale student with little money or family support who's invited to join a powerful secret society festering with murder and intrigue. The movie (filmed in Toronto) nails New Haven's Disney-Gothic architecture, our Pacey flings himself agreeably into the proceedings, and plenty of compelling motifs help pass the time: Top Gun-style shirtless bonding between the recruits (all male, all WASP, all the time); celebrations of Mr. Jackson's superhuman strength (he outruns a speeding Jeepat length); and one Skulls aluma corrupt-but-lovable, teen-girl-chasing, honey-throated Southern senatorwho bears enough resemblance to our commander in chief that The Skulls begins to resemble a roman à clef (to get you started, Craig T. Nelson plays Kenneth Starr). The preview audience chatted happily all the way through the movie, indicating its destiny as a perennial rental favorite for frat-house living rooms across the U.S.A.

cottos guard vulnerable for violent upper cuts?
Something about his guard that always made me question why nobody utilizes the uppercut on cotto he keeps his head low in the pocket and his shell defense always appears that hes looking down ...zab judah was pretty successful and exposing that in the early fight and opening that gash in cottos mouth...thinking about it i think some one like saul alvaez might have a great shot at defeating cotto if they meet ..because hes one of the only guys who executes a pretty powerful upper cut with inside combination if he can counter of cottos parry..
Just a thought

yeah he needs to stand up straighter so his chin isn't hanging out there to uppercutted, which to be fair steward was trying to get him to do when they worked together.
