New arena upstages its cost

Buyer's remorse may be somebody's problem tomorrow, but it ain't gonna be mine. United Spirit Arena ... The House That John Built ... is strikingly beautiful and mechanically functional. Even if both teams showed up wearing blank looks because somebody forgot the ball, it would be easily worth the $5 ticket just to sit there and grin.
Survey indicates hiring woes
MILWAUKEE (AP) Companies across the country will continue to have problems recruiting employees next year, according to a survey of 16,000 U.S. businesses that was released Monday.

Jail Makes The Grade
A SURPRISE INSPECTION of the Lubbock County Jail last April that resulted in the facility being certified for the first time in more than three years was not a fluke. The jail passed its first annual inspection in four years last week, proving that changes implemented by Sheriff David Gutierrez have brought the facility up to state standards. Overpopulation and understaffing had plagued the jail for years, but when Sheriff Gutierrez took over he reorganized the staff and hired several outsiders to lead his management team. Among them was Chief Deputy Paul Scarborough, the jail's former inspector. The chief deputy brought with him the knowledge that was needed to bring the jail into compliance.

Leave Gates Alone
Why can't the government leave Bill Gates alone? The man has done more for the government than it will ever do for him.

You've made others rich, too. Keep up the great work.

Jubilee 2000 offers world a chance to celebrate
The Jubilee is the anniversary of the birth of the Son of God, and this event is "the fullness of time" (Gal. 4:4). And when the Father decided to send His Son, this sending fills us with joy, as the Father now invites us to a wedding feast. It is a time of rejoicing. Time is indeed fulfilled by the very fact that God, in the incarnation, came down into human history. It is now our duty to celebrate, and enter the feast, it is our duty to sanctify time.

Calendar change provides memorable moment for mankind
The new millennium is approaching, less than 50 days for the actual event. People's enthusiasm for this major event has been evident, as they prepared themselves years ago with reservations in hotels, cruises, restaurants, etc. We see others that have gone to an extreme of an Apocalyptical doomsday occurrence. An extremist will make it a fearful event, while another may go to the extreme and ignore the fact that something might just happen.
Fear of the future is both unfortunate, unnecessary
One of the great paradoxes of people who purport to have faith in God is the faithless paranoia they sometimes have about the future. Never in our lifetime have we seen more fear about what is to come than during these days as we close one millennium and open another. Our religious culture is fraught with a sense of foreboding about the future.
Future Faith
In this special section, several Lubbock ministers articulate their views of the future, their hopes for a recovery of religious and moral values that will provide an ethical base for the vast changes sure to come in the third millennium. Analysts abound at the approach of the third millennium A.D., but what they perceive as the future hinges as much on their world view as on the trends they track.
Power of making sure church is a blessing must be top priority
I have a strong suspicion that, when I wake up on Jan. 1, 2000, the world is not going to look a whole lot different than it did on Dec. 31, 1999. And yet, there is something rather intriguing about this whole enterprise of calendars and dates that tends to lure us into forward thinking. Sadly, for some, the thinking is of the anxious sort. Jesus warned us about that, saying, "Therefore do not worry about to-
Local minister hopes to see fulfillment of God's dreams on world scale
I hope Christ returns during the next millennium (or even sooner), but I will leave that to God. Until Christ does return, my hope for the new millennium can be summarized in just one sentence: I hope that God's abundant life spreads across the world fulfilling God's dreams for more of this planet than ever before.
Year 2000 should mean remembering God's promise
Y2K. According to some, Jan. 1 will bring panic and disorder. For these people, the new millennium looms with fear and pessimism. For others of us, however, the year 2000 is simply the Promise of God continued as we celebrate His peace and presence in our lives. We're not panicked by Y2K, nor are we consumed with arguing over when it begins (or began). Instead, we are concerned with bringing the eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ to a fast-changing world. In 1900, it took an entire generation or more to effect a single major shift in American culture and church. One hundred years later, generations face powerful changes on a yearly and monthly basis: arts, politics, industry, medical breakthroughs, stock market ... and marriages where the vows have become "as long as both shall love."
Future of church appears to be brighter than ever
I will soon complete 28 years of vocational ministry. Over the course of my ministerial journey, I am currently more excited about the prospects of the Church's future than ever. A worldwide explosion of growth is taking place in Christianity. More people have committed their lives to following Jesus Christ this past decade than the entire 2,000-year history of the church. The Church is growing at an approximate rate of seven percent per year or three times the world population growth rate. Our nearest competitors are growing at the following rates: atheism 2.8 percent, Islam 2.7 percent, Hinduism 2.3 percent, and Buddhism 2.2 percent. It is estimated that 165,000 people declare Jesus as their Lord on a daily basis worldwide.
Looking back gives everyone chance to better prepare for future
It may seem a bit backward to begin a reflection on hope for the new millennium with a verse about "looking back" over one's life, but; in actuality, I find whenever a new stage of life is about to begin, we tend to gather strength from the past. And as the Year 2000 fast approaches, looking back has become helpful in setting the stage for what's to come. How one "looks back" is important, however; for it is not done in an attitude of longing to dwell in the past, nor it is a time for heavy chastisement over mistakes made. No, we look to our past to gather the pearls of wisdom, gleamed from lessons learned and lives fully experienced. We carry those pearls as precious stones, gifts given to us as we face new horizons.

Stand-up comedian Harry Hill quit TV Burp in March after considering the decision and almost taking it back for quite some time. Now, he is planning a new project, which is said to be a movie about a bizarre road trip. Hill says the movie is inspired by the comedy Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
Harry described the film as 'partly a road trip, with a sick hamster and some badgers involved, plus some songs and guest appearances'. He also said: "(It's) the kind of thing I always do, but a bit longer and wider."
In related news, Harry also called the EastEnders as the 'perfect fodder' for TV Burp, but that the show had become harder to make. He explained that it had something to do with a 'new, knowing breed of shows, like The Only Way is Essex, where the jokes were already built in, and there was no leverage' for the comedians.
Harry Hill also said: "Even Coronation Street became jokier."
The comedian, however, was relieved that his nine-year stint ended on a high note and that they just 'kind of exhausted it'.
He doesn't seem to be in a rush to return to the tube, however, saying: "Following TV Burp is a bit like following Dark Side of the Moon. It's got to be really, really good."

Abstract: Conjunctivitis is often considered an innocuous condition which is self-limiting. This report describes misdiagnosis of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid as chronic conjunctivitis. Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune condition. The clinical features which are useful to distinguish this condition from infective conjunctivitis are discussed. The investigation and treatment of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid is discussed. It is important to recognize nonocular symptoms and signs that may indicate the presence of a more serious underlying pathological condition necessitating specialized ophthalmic referral and subsequent investigation and treatment.
Keywords: autoimmune, conjunctivitis, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid

Death Penalty a Deterrent to Murder
February 26, 2004
Capital punishment deters homicides, according to economists H. Naci Mocan and R. Kaj Gittings. Statistically analyzing data published by the U.S. Department of Justice and looking at all death penalty cases in the United States between 1977 and 1997, the researchers determined that:
- For every additional execution during the period of study, the number of homicides committed was reduced by five.
- Each additional commutation increased homicides by about the same amount.
- The removal of a death row inmate generated one additional murder.
The study found no evidence that non-capital crimes such as robbery, burglary, rape or motor vehicle theft are influenced by the execution or commutation rates. However, it did find that increases in the custody rate (the number of prisoners per violent crime) reduce the frequency of each of these criminal activities.

Hello everyone!
I survived my doctors appointment Thursday. My due date is September 22. I talked to the nurse practitioner and she said if I don't want to deliver on Seth's birthday then they'll make other arrangements. arrangements got an u/s baby is looking good with a heart rate of 171 and was kicking away happily.
After that I went to my LSS and spent $15 on paper. I wanted snow paper, and I bought a set of girly pink paper and some paper to scrap my baby picture from my u/s.
Then I went to hobby lobby, skipped the album's and page protectors and bought or rebought the echo park "little boy" I loved that kit so much I bought the girl version too, all for 50% off!
I then went to target and looked at the baby stuff.
Then I found our microscopic motherhood where I got a decent deal on two maternity t shirts. Which is probably all I need for this pregnancy.
I ate at Panera bread for the first time. I was not all that impressed.
Friday I went to a consignment sale and got a ton of clothes for my kids. Ok tons of stuff for Tessa, not so much for Scarlett and Beau.

Chandler Leniu has been offered by Cal and he's definitely interested in the Golden Bears but the four-star linebacker sounds like someone who's not backing away from his pledge.
The Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco standout who had an interception in the victory over Concord (Calif.) De La Salle this past weekend has been committed to Washington State since late September.
Leniu said he's going to probably take a trip to Cal in January but doesn't expect to flip his commitment - especially since the Cougars have been so involved for so long.
Article Continues Below
"I'm going to keep looking at them and I'm going to take my visit but most likely I think I'm going to stick with the Cougs," Leniu said.
"The Cougs have been there since Day 1. They offered me since the beginning. They saw something other colleges didn't see and they always send me letters. I just feel love from them. It's just been great."
So far, Leniu has been offered by Washington State, Cal, Fresno State, Iowa State, Kansas, Nevada, San Jose State and TCU. A trip to Berkeley is being planned but because Washington State has been in the mix for so long he doesn't think anything is going to change with his status.
Saturday night was about Bosco's victory. It was a tough, hard-fought game and Leniu said he has all the respect in the world for De La Salle.
"It means a lot to us," Leniu said. "It means all the hard work we've put in, 16 weeks, has paid off. We came out here against I'm going to say the No. 1 team. They played their hearts out. They've been here. They know what it feels like to win every time but that wasn't going to happen. It was a great win for us and the community.
"That whole o-line is great and incredible. They know how to fire off the ball and get to the back seven. I give it up to them and the coaches. They have my respect."

First drive: BMW X4
Am I seeing double?
Nope, on the very same day as BMW let us loose in one new mid-size four-door coupe-hatchback, the 4-series Gran Coupe, it let us loose in another, the X4. The X4 being the taller one with semi-SUV undercarriage.
Mini-me X6?
Couldn't have put it better. A bit less intimidating, because it's smaller. But still pug-nosed and wasp-tailed and not by any stretch a beauty.
Are they trying to come over all Macan on us?
You could say, but it's still a heavy lump of as thing - 1.9 tonnes with a six-cylinder engine up front. And it feels its weight.
In straight lines or corners?
Straights first please
OK, we drove the 306bhp 35i petrol. Even tough it has a turbo, it really needs big revs to dole out the kind of forward wrench you'd expect. And then it guzzles fuel - I got just 20 miles out of each imperial gallon.
But the UK gets a diesel-only range (BMW have none for our testing yet). The top one is the 35d, with a tad more power and much more torque than the 35i. Its numbers are 313bhp and 465lb ft. Should do the job. There will also be the 20d, one of the first applications of BMW's all-new 2.0 diesel, more refined than the old unit and more economical.
Oh, and with the 35i, there was a slightly disquieting sense, after a few downhill straight-corner pairings, that the brakes didn't have a whole lot in reserve.
And corners?
Well there's no argument with its actual appetite for bends, which it can gulp its way through with nary a burp. The active rear diff, optional in X3s, is standard in the X4, and the springs and dampers are stiffer, and the steering rack sharper on lock. You want the adaptive damper option too. Switch into the sport mode and you kill most understeer, and then the thing pivots round the bend with vein-popping determination as you get on the right pedal. But that's the thing. It's having to work very hard and you know it. It doesn't tickle your driving buds with delicacy or feedback.
Do you lose much practicality for the looks?
The X4 shares front wings and doors and a bonnet with the X3, and inside it has the same dash, but the seats are lower within the body. There's only just enough room in the back seat, and your knees are aimed uncomfortably upward. The boot's useful though.
But I can get a different BMW if I want practicality.
Indeed. If you want a mid-size BMW with four doors and a tailgate, you can now get it in no less than five different elevations. Starting from the lowest (deep breath): 4-series Gran Coupe, 3-series Touring, 3-series Gran Turismo, X4 and X3. Root around BMW UK's web configurator and it's possible to spec each and every one of them with the 35d engine, 8-speed autobox and four-wheel drive.

A higher goal for special minds
Jim Sze-chung, executive director of the Hong Kong Sports Association for the Mentally Handicapped (HKSAM), loves to compete in sports, but winning is not the most important thing for him. It is the process of fighting together as a team that he finds fascinating.
Despite his love for sports, Jim concedes that he is not a gifted athlete. But his passion for sports has allowed him to contribute to the planning of sporting events.
Jim was awarded the Timothy Fok Scholastic Award for Sports and Recreation Management last year while he was studying for his master's degree in sports and leisure management at the Hong Kong Baptist University.
How has your experience helped you in your current position ?
I love ballgames, but to be honest, I was not really good at it. So most of the time, I just sat on the bench. I spent my time observing how to run a sporting event. I enjoyed well-prepared competitions or activities and I apply [what I learned] to my work. I help arrange athletes' training and competitions, and lead my colleagues in planning a successful event. I used to be a benchwarmer so I understand how it feels to be one. I not only share the glory with the stars but also pay attention to every team member.
Why did you get into this field?
I love helping young people. I had wanted to be a social worker but realised I may not be able to face the sorrow of troubled youth. I wanted to do something that makes people happy. 'Recreation' means to re-create and in Chinese it means health and happiness. I believe people could re-create their energy through a fun process and lead a healthy life.
When were you most inspired?
I learned a lot during my two years' stint as an instructor at the Hong Kong Outward Bound school. My duty was to conduct various types of courses to help clients develop leadership, teamwork and to grow as individuals.
Who inspired you?
When I was in Form Two, I attended a workshop organised by Ng Kin-sun, the recreation and sports cum camp services executive secretary at the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong. I was deeply impressed with Ng's energetic and amusing way of leading games and delivering messages.
What is the biggest challenge in your career?
Joining the organisation where I currently work. It is an entirely new job for me as I have had little experience in running sports for elite athletes with intellectual disability. Luckily, my colleagues are very supportive and I know lots of friends and schoolmates who have been working in this field for a long time. I am still learning.
What are your goals?
I wish to introduce the benefits of sports to people with intellectual disability. I want to let them know how sports could change their lives. For myself, I would like to stay fit and learn to be happier.
What is your motto?
We have the option to work or not. If we decide to work, we need to work more than 100 per cent because we have been paid 100 per cent. I always remind myself and my colleagues about this.
What's the future of the city's sports and recreational industry?

A flexible IVR solution.
TCC's most pressing need was for a flexible IVR solution. Their clients have expanding and contracting needs to deal with seasonality, special offers, product recalls and the whole spectrum of possibilities consumer-facing businesses encounter. Their IVR system therefore needed to be flexible and a close relationship with the IVR provider is paramount.
Economies of location.
Outsourcing customer services to other nations is a popular option for many British businesses, but it can be viewed negatively by consumers who can have communication issues and often suspect the service is not secure. But the attraction for businesses isn't hard to work out – cost. TCC operates in the UK, which means efficiency in areas outside HR, especially with its infrastructure, is at a premium.
"We would be unlikely to find another partner as flexible as Engage Hub. We would recommend them to other clients because of their collaborative approach of working in partnership with us rather than just as a supplier."
Alex Karolemeas, IT Director, The Contact Company
The Contact Company hired Engage Hub to cover its entire IVR operation. Because Engage Hub has in-house capabilities with both voice and payments, TCC could have their entire operation in one location. This has a dual benefit. First it keeps premises costs down as clients' advice lines and payment departments could all be under one roof. Second, it improves the customer journey because being passed through the system is seamless with minimum waiting time.
The Contact Company is a technical company but its main objective is customer service, building relationships with its clients and being flexible enough to meet demands as they arise. Therefore TCC needed a hands-on partner and in Engage Hub they found one. Engage Hub is in regular contact with TCC and manages many aspects of the IVR system day to day.

Hiding Headers – How A HTTP Proxy Helps You Be Anonymous
Posted: Jun 19, 2010 |Comments: 0
Need a HTTP Proxy? Being anonymous online can sometimes be difficult. Being anonymous online is done using a proxy server, but there lies the problem. This is because there are so many types of proxy servers that it can be confusing for many people. The only proxy server that lets you be 100% anonymous online and hide your real IP is called a http proxy.
HTTP Proxy Servers act as a middle man while you are web surfing and transfer info back to your computer. Your actual web surfing is done through or via the proxy server. So, the IP shown is the IP of the proxy and not your personal computer. Even if someone takes a look at your IP while you are online, they can only see the proxy server IP and if you are using a http proxy they have no way of knowing that you even changed or have hidden your IP.
Nothing is better than a http proxy because nothing offers the kind of anonymity, security and speed. This is possible because not only are you 100% anonymous, but the IPs they give you look like any normal IP found online and not a proxy IP. There is no way to tell you are using a proxy server. If someone can tell you have changed your IP you aren't really anonymous. For anyone who is serious about changing their IP and HTTP Proxies, elite proxies are the only choice. The speed, anonymity and ability for IPs to be cloaked so you look like any other average Joe on the internet makes them the absolute best proxy solution.
Want to know what the best way to get a proxy of your own is? There are a few ways you could get one. The first is searching online for proxies that are free and the second method is not free and costs money. Finding free proxies on the internet isn't hard, but you typically have more troubles using them when compared to paid proxies. Just why free proxies aren't reliable goes beyond the scope of this article and this is why anyone who is serious about setting up their own proxy servers really needs to consider paying for it.
Paid proxies are actually much cheaper than you may think. For as little as USD a month you have a completely secure and fast proxy that you don't need to share with anyone else. There are many reasons why you may need your own private proxy. A private proxy is totally secure and 100% anonymous. You can say goodbye to all the problems commonly associated with free proxies. If you have ever spent time looking for proxies, then you probably already know how much trouble it can be. With private and paid proxies being so cheap, there really is no reason you can't have your own. You'll be amazed at just how much better they arethank yourself that you did.

The choice between HTTP proxy servers and SOCKS proxy server is a tough one
Before you buy private proxy, you should also know that these servers employ a couple of filtering regulations to increase internet usage security. Paid SOCKS proxies utilise internet protocol to ascertain the anonymity and safety of the customer machines. This is done for security purposes. These servers also help to increase the availability and the speed to approach data as a routine. This is evident when it is used along with the firewall.

If you are above the age of 20, and grew up in America, chances are, that at some point in your life you watched Wrestling. No, not the real kind you practice at the gym, but the fake one where they make you believe that people are actually being hit with bats and crow bars. At some point during the early 90's this kind of wrestling became really popular.
It was the golden era of the sport, and every Monday night we all tuned in to see who was jumping from the WWF to WCW or what Degeneration X was going to pull off that night. It was something that you could watch with your dad or your little brother and everyone would find something they loved. With that being said, after much time and deliberation, here are the 100 Greatest Wrestlers of the 90s.
The only way to describe Sting is: Hard core! Perhaps in conjunction with "Metal"!
Why he's on the list: A 15 time world heavyweight champion, Sting is the only man to hold the WCW, TNA, and NWA titles. He was known as the franchise of WCW as he never wrestled in a WWF event.
Hulk Hogan
Ok, in all honesty, Hulk Hogan should be number 1, but I have a personal bias for sting because he looks more like a bad ass and metal.
Why he's on the list: The most recognizable name in professional wrestling, Hogan is not only the most popular wrestler of the 90s, but of all time. He held the WWF title for 1474 days and the WCW title for a record 469 days.
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Why he's on the list: Austin may very well be personally responsible for transitioning the WWF into the Attitude Era in the 90s. He became insanely popular winning three different Royal Rumbles and 25 championships.
Macho Man Randy Savage
Why he's on the list: The Macho Man was a brilliant mix of charisma and in-ring ability. He headlined Wrestlemania multiple times as well as winning WCW's 60 man battle royale known as World War 3. He also won 20 championships during his career.
Ric Flair
Why he's on the list: What hasn't Ric Flair done? He's first ever double inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame and was the first ever WCW Heavyweight Champion.
The Rock
No wrestling list is complete with out The ROCK!
Why he's on the list: Debuting in the WWF in 1996, The Rock quickly became a fan favorite with entertaining promos. His matches against Steve Austin for the WWF Championship are some of the greatest the company has ever produced.
Bret Hart
Why he's on the list: Hart has held an unbelievable 32 different championships over a span of five decades. His career reached its pinnacle in the 90s as he was champion for 654 days during the decade.
Shawn Michaels
Why he's on the list: Michaels is the only wrestler to win back to back Royal Rumbles in 1995 and 1996. His in-ring work has always been praised as he won the PWI Match of the Year award a record eleven times.
The Ultimate Warrior
Why he's on the list: The Ultimate Warrior became a megastar at Wrestlemania VI where he defeated Hulk Hogan for the World Championship. He feuded with Randy Savage and Mr Perfect over the title for most of the early 90s.
The Undertaker
Why he's on the list: Beyond all of his accomplishments The Undertaker holds what may be the most impressive and unbreakable record in professional wrestling; he is 20-0 at Wrestlemania events.
