The Top 10 Daytona 500s of All TimeFebruary 1, 2011
The Top 10 Daytona 500's Of All Time
We are less than two weeks away from the Great American Race, the Daytona 500. Last year's Daytona 500 produced a surprise winner in Jamie McMurray. The 500 has always been known for hard, close racing that leaves fans guessing who the winner will be on the last lap.
While last year's race was a memorable one, it pales in comparison to the greatest Daytona 500 races in history. Last lap passes, fights and controversy all make the list as we countdown the 10 best Daytona 500's of all time.
#10: Hendrick Motorsports Finishes 1-2-3 (1997)
The mid-90's in Nascar was dominated by Rick Hendrick and his group of drivers. Jeff Gordon won his first title in 1995, and Terry Labonte took home the crown the following year. In all, Hendrick Motorsports would win four Nascar Sprint Cup titles during the decade.
But 1997 brought uncertainty for Hendrick Motorsports. Rick Hendrick had been diagnosed with leukemia in November of 1996 and many were wondering if he would return to run the company. As Hendrick was going through treatments, his teams started the season off with a bang as Jeff Gordon recorded his first Daytona 500 win. Gordon would become the youngest driver to win the Daytona 500 with his victory. Terry Labonte started his 1997 year with a second place finish, and new Hendrick driver Ricky Craven finished third.
Gordon would go on to win his second Sprint Cup title at the end of the year to continue the Hendrick dominance of the 90's.
#9: Father Beats Son (1988)
Daddy knows best – never had that adage been so true than the 1988 Daytona 500. Fifty-one-year-old Bobby Allison was a legend in Nascar, leader of the Alabama Gang and nearing the end of his career. Son Davey was an up-and-coming star who had won the 1987 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year and was looking for his first Daytona 500 victory.
Entering the final laps of the race, father and son teamed up to pass leader Darrell Waltrip. With one lap to go, fans were waiting to make his move. As the cars went into turn 3, Bobby went high and gave Davey room to try to contest for the win. It would not be enough, as Bobby would cross the start/finish line to win his third Daytona 500.
After the race, Davey would go to the victory lane and celebrate with his father. It would be four years before Davey won his first (and only) Daytona 500 in 1992. Sadly, Davey Allison would be killed in a helicopter accident the next year in 1993.
After his win at Daytona, Bobby Allison would race until the middle of the season after a horrific wreck at Pocono injured him severely. The crash caused Allison to suffer from memory loss and not even remember winning the 1988 Daytona 500.
#8: David Slays Goliath (1990)
The 1990 Daytona 500 was the closest, and most heartbreaking, race for Dale Earnhardt before 1998. Earnhardt was the dominant driver of the race, leading 155 laps. At one point in the race, Earnhardt led by almost 40 seconds. Unfortunately for Earnhardt, he would not lead the white flag lap.
After a caution on lap 193, Earnhardt came in to pit. Little-known driver Derrick Cope stayed out after his crew chief Buddy Parrott told him to. After the restart, Earnhardt dispatched of Cope and retook the lead. After taking the white flag, Earnhardt was well on his way to winning his first 500. Earnhardt entered turn 3 and started to drastically slow. Many wondered, "Is Earnhardt out of gas?" It was worst; Earnhardt had run over debris. While Earnhardt was trying to keep control of his car, Cope sped by and shocked the Nascar world, winning his first ever race.
The win helped Cope gain his 15 minutes of fame as he would win one more time in his career. The victory is considered by many the biggest upset in Nascar Sprint Cup history.
#7: Pearson Edges Petty (1976)
Richard Petty and David Pearson's rivalry during the 1970's defined the decade for Nascar. If Petty wasn't winning, it was Pearson. Between the two drivers, they amassed 302 wins. Of Pearson's wins, his victory at the 1976 Daytona 500 might be his most memorable.
Pearson was going to win his second Daytona 500 the previous year before a late race spin on the backstretch cost him. Going into the final lap of the 1976 Daytona 500, Petty was leading David Pearson. As the two drivers went into turn 3, Pearson completed the pass on Petty. As Petty went under Pearson to pass him back coming out of turn 4, both cars spun out of control hitting the outside wall.
Pearson's car spun to a stop near the entrance of pit road, while Petty spun close to the finish line. Many thought Petty had won, but he stopped about 20 yards from the finish. As Petty frantically tried to restart his stalled car, Pearson slowly passed by Petty to take the checkered flag. After Pearson crossed the finish line, Petty's crew got behind his car and helped Petty finish in second.
#6: The Ickey Shuffle (1989)
Darrell Waltrip had done just about everything heading into the 1989 Daytona 500. Waltrip had won three championships, over 75 races, and yet did not have a Daytona 500 trophy. Driving the "Tide Ride" for Rick Hendrick, Waltrip was about to check off another race on his to-do list.
With 56 laps to go, Waltrip came in for a pit stop. It would be his last one of the day. Going 56 laps at Daytona without a pit stop was unheard of, but Waltrip and crew chief Jeff Hammond wanted to roll the dice. Twice before the checkered flag, Waltrip radioed in to say he was out of gas, only to have the engine pick back up. In his 17th try, Waltrip won the Daytona 500.
What was more memorable was Waltrip's post-race interview and dance in Victory Lane. As Waltrip got out of his car he grabbed announcer Mike Joy yelling, "I won the Daytona 500, I won the Daytona 500!" Before Joy could get his question out, Waltrip interrupted to say, "Wait, wait, wait – this is the Daytona 500, right?"
Waltrip capped off his day by doing the "icky shuffle," throwing his helmet to the ground. The dance was made famous by Bengals fullback Elbert Woods. Waltrip did his best imitation, but showed many why he drove cars instead of danced.
#5: Lee Petty Wins The First Daytona 500 (1959)
In 1959, Nascar drivers went from the sands and high tides of Daytona Beach to the high banks of the Daytona International Speedway. For years, Bill France was looking to expand his stock car series and building a super-speedway fit the bill. Never before had drivers raced on a track as big as Daytona.
The first race fielded 59 stock cars, 20 of which were convertibles. As the race winded down, Lee Petty and Johnny Beauchamp battled for the last 30 laps. Being the only two cars left on the lead lap, Petty and Beauchamp approached the lapped car of Joe Weatherly coming to the finish. As the cars crossed the line, Beauchamp was called the winner of the race.
As Beauchamp was celebrating in the victory lane, Petty was protesting his case to Bill France Sr. Following the protest, France and his officials took three days to determine who the winner was. After reviewing photos and films of the finish, Petty was named the winner of the race. Not only did the controversy help Nascar's popularity, it helped keep put the young sport on the front pages of newspapers everywhere.
#4: The Dale and Dale Show (1993)
Dale Jarrett had won one race entering the 1993 Daytona 500. Joe Gibbs was known more for coaching football and winning Super Bowls than being a Nascar owner. Joe Gibbs Racing had only been in existence for a year when the 93' Daytona 500 came around. Jarrett and his team surprised many as he qualified on the outside row for the race. This would only the beginning of things to come.
As the laps winded down, Jarrett's green and black Chevrolet Lumina charged to the front, battling Dale Earnhardt with a lap to go. As the cars took the white flag, Ned Jarrett, who was in the TV booth, was told by his producer to guide his son home for the win. That last lap call is one of the most memorable calls in Daytona 500 history.
As Jarrett came out of turn 4 blocking Earnhardt, Ned Jarrett emphatically shouted "He's gonna make it, Dale Jarrett's gonna win the Daytona 500!" The win not only catapulted Dale Jarrett's career, but helped Joe Gibbs Racing turn into a competitive race team.
#3: Yarborough and Allison Throwdown (1979)
The 1979 Daytona 500 was a major stepping stone for Nascar. This was the first 500-mile race that was broadcast in its entirety in the history of the sport. Before this race, all races were tape delayed and shown after the race was completed. The race also introduced the in-car camera as well as the low-angle speed shot, which are now used in every race.
The day of the race, most of the United States was snowed in by a blizzard. This act of God would help bring in more viewers for CBS, as many were stuck in their homes. The next day, many of these viewers would be talking about the race.
As the 500 neared its conclusion, Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison distanced themselves from the rest of the field. As the two entered the backstretch on the final lap, Yarborough ducked under Allison, who went for the block. Yarborough got loose, turned right to hit Allison back, and the two went into the turn 3 wall. As both Yarborough and Allison got out of their cars, both started to throw punches. Bobby Allison, Donnie's brother, stopped to help his brother. Both drivers were eventually separated, but history was made. Many rarely remember who actually won the race – they only remember the boxing match on the backstretch.
#2: Nascar Loses Its Hero (2001)
The 2001 Daytona will be remembered as the darkest day in Nascar history. Even though Michael Waltrip finally won his first ever Daytona race, it was the events of the last lap that fans remember the most.
Heading into the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, Michael Waltrip was fighting off his teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Behind them, team owner Dale Earnhardt was doing something no one had ever seen him do before – blocking other competitors. Sure, Earnhardt blocked when he was leading, but never before had Earnhardt blocked, so two other drivers could compete for a win. It was a father protecting his son, and an owner protecting his driver.
Going into turn 4, Earnhardt got loose and went nose first into the wall. To many it was another wreck that Earnhardt would walk away from. Five minutes passed, then 10. Waiting turned into wondering. "Is Dale OK? I sure hope Dale is OK," chimed Darrell Waltrip in the TV booth. The announcement that followed a few hours later shocked not only Nascar, but the world.
Nascar President Mike Helton got on a mic and made the announcement, "After the race at Daytona, we've lost Dale Earnhardt." No one knew how to react. How could Superman die? Did he say what I think he said?
Nearly 10 years has passed since Earnhardt's death and the void is still there. There has not been another driver that has been able to step in and take the role Earnhardt had.
#1: Dale Finally Wins The Daytona 500 (1998)
One-for-20. To many that would be a horrible sports statistic to be remembered for having. But to Dale Earnhardt, it was the best stat of his career.
Entering the 1998 Daytona 500, many started wondering if Dale Earnhardt still had the drive to win. Earnhardt had gone on a 59 race winless streak, and blacked out at Darlington, baffling doctors. But 1998 was a new year, and Earnhardt started off by silencing his critics.
Being paired with crew chief Larry McReynolds, Earnhardt dominated the 500, leading 107 of the 200 laps. With two laps to go, the caution waived after a backstretch wreck. Using the lapped car of Rick Mast as a pick, Earnhardt held off Bobby Labonte and took the yellow and white together to drive into the history books.
After the race, Earnhardt was congratulated by every member of every crew on pit road. After Earnhardt finished high-fiving everyone, he took his car for a little spin in the grass and burned out the number 3. Earnhardt had finally won the one race at Daytona that had eluded him for so long. One-for-20 doesn't sound so bad after all.

On a night the Orioles bullpen gave up another lead, thanks to Miguel Tejada, the Orioles did not give up another game.
Tejada's 417-foot homer off Daniel Bard in the 8th tied the game 4-4 and his RBI single to center off Manny Delcarmen gave the Orioles the 5-4, walk-off, 10-inning win over the Red Sox.
"This is really big, not only for myself but the whole team," Tejada said. "The first day I came here I felt welcomed here. This team means a lot to me and I have a lot of respect for the fans.
"Delcarmen is a great pitcher. I just put it in my mind that I had to relax. I knew he had to throw me a strike and I was lucky to get a pitch over the plate."
Tejada said the win provides a lift for whole team, but also a bullpen that could not protect a 3-2 lead and put the O's in a 4-3 hole.
"Especially for our pitching. Our bullpen has been struggling. But we can win a bunch of games in a row.
"It felt great, that's the first (walk off celebration) of the year in twenty-something games. It feels really special to do it here at home. We played hard all game."
Tejada missed some games with a hip injury and Dave Trembley said after the game Tejada is not 100 percent but refuses to leave the lineup right now.
"I love playing baseball. I'm a little bit hurt and need to get treatment from the trainer. Sometimes you are not 100 percent physically, but have to give it all you've got. Right now I am giving the 100 percent of what I've got."
Tejada's three hits tonight raises his average to .293. Over his last eight games, he is batting .438 (14 for 32) with two homers and 6 RBI.

I am relatively new to adding videos to sites, so when I got one to work perfectly on one of those sub-pages, I thought I could cut and paste the working code (includes a bit of javascript) and simply insert it into the home page (ocPortal).
Can anyone show me how to take the working video from this page:
and insert it into the home page of that site?
I did upload it to the gallery section - and it does work there - but I'd like it to work just like the video on the above mentioned page.
Thanks in advance,

Two reasons I think it may not have worked for you.
1) You may have missed the first line which appears earlier in the page. I did when I tried it first.
2) Because there is javascript, it is considered dangerous code, and it will only work if you have permission to use dangerous code. So depending on how your permissions are set up, you may need to make the changes as admin.
This works fine on my site.

I did cut and paste the code snippet into the page, but got just the at the top of the page. Tried it twice, same thing.
I checked the permissions (that I could find) and the site is currently NOT validating javascript (though it is set to validate XHTML).
Is this what I should be looking at?
Is all of the code that you included in your reply (references to Chrome, etc.) necessary for cross-browser compatibility?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks.

OK, that looks like the edit form is in WYSIWYG mode, so its treating everything as text, including the [html] tag. There should be a Disable WYSIWYG editing option on the page.
Nope. Thats about validation the structure of the html, not about users permissions.
Use dangerous Comcode in Admin Zone » Security » Choose » Privileges: Comcode controls permissions for dangerous html/javascript.
It looks like that chrome stuff is there just to provide feedback images to chrome users that have flash blockers running.
There are too many online users to list.

Once people hear that you are planning to sell your property, they are likely to bombard you with well-intentioned advice. Some of this advice might be trustworthy, but a good deal of it is not. If you want quality information, and you want to be an expert on the subject, this article is sure to help.
That's the price. Unless you set an appealing, justifiable price, it will be very difficult to attract interest from potential buyers.
When you're selling your home, you should always set a price that is reasonable. Get a list of comparable sales in the neighborhood and choose the median price. If you price your home too high to begin with, you may end up having to reduce it.
Prior to listing your home, make sure your air conditioner and heater work by having them both serviced. Because these units can be very pricy, they are one of the first things that most buyers will ask about.
Sell your existing home before buying a new one if at all possible. If you don't sell before you move, you'll end up paying two mortgages each month until your old house is sold. This can be devastating to your finances. Make sure to allow yourself a significant window of time in order to showcase your house and locate the right buyer.
When buying or selling a house, be sure to select your estate agent very carefully. It is in your best interest to work with an agent who is experienced and knowledgeable about the nature of selling. An experienced and knowledgeable agent will help the process go easier and faster.
You can create a more inviting and attractive atmosphere during an open house by eliminating all signs of clutter. Closets should be dusted and contain only an organized assortment of essential items. Clean out the cabinets in the kitchen as well, but leave behind some higher-priced, fancy label items to give the appearance of class.
Try to clean up the appliances and the counter tops. Sweep and mop the floors, and clean each bathroom. Tell your kids to place their toys away. Hide your dirty laundry and do not have clothing on your floor. Clean homes let buyers focus on the positives of the home.
In conclusion, it can be trying to listen to so-called experts give you their opinion on selling real estate. The tips and tricks in this article have been widely proven time and time again. Hopefully this article will help to either clear up what you were unsure about, or give you some new information.

Starting my own tax business

Personally, I do my own taxes. Even owning my own business and having tax write offs it isn't difficult to use tax software to do them and 9 times out of 10 it's cheaper than going to a person. So just be careful before you quit a job to do that. A lot of people are opting to do it themselves in order to save money. I don't pay anywhere close to $150 and it only takes me an hour to do my own so, for me, it's money well saved. Some make a decent living doing it, but others struggle outside of tax season, so make sure those are things you consider as well, and some will have to do with your specific area of the country also.
Best of luck to you in your decision!

No matter how President Obama disses or dismisses the media, Congress, his critics or skeptics — on both sides of the aisle — about his strategy against the Islamic State, the ISIS crisis isn't getting any better.
That's certainly no comfort on the busiest travel day of the year and the beginning of the holiday season, when folks would rather think of the warm embrace of kith and kin than the cold possibility of terrorism.
For instance, seriously complicating matters, just yesterday, Turkish fighters shot down a Russian warplane in what Ankara claims was Turkish airspace; Moscow insists it was over Syria.
This latest problem could hamper the fight against ISIS, including diplomatic talks on Syria that the United States has been pushing in Vienna that, naturally, include both Turkey and Russia, among other major players.
Moscow may not see this as just a Turkish-Russian issue, but could toss it into an already simmering cauldron of heightened NATO-Russia tensions, since Turkey is an alliance member.
Quarrelling, even among loosely-aligned, anti-ISIS countries, won't help.
The State Department has also issued a worldwide travel alert on the possibility of terrorism during the holidays, warning Americans abroad to be very cautious.
While this sort of bulletin is probably pretty common around the holidays after 9/11, it's clear the Islamic State has gone on the offensive beyond Iraq and Syria based on the Russian airliner bombing over the Sinai Peninsula and the Paris terror attacks.
The violent Islamist threat from the Islamic State — and don't forget about its rival, al-Qaeda — isn't just over there.
It's important to remember that while it's been a few months, we've had nearly a dozen Islamist terrorist plots and/or attacks in 2015, making it the most terror conspiracy-intensive year since 2001.
Moreover, almost all of the homegrown plots or attacks were ISIS-related — with the Chattanooga, Tenn., shootings being a possible exception. There have been a reported 70 ISIS-related arrests this year alone.
Plus, reports from the FBI and others indicate that law enforcement is allegedly conducting some 900 ISIS-related investigations across all 50 states.
That's not good news.
It really doesn't look like the Islamic State is "contained" as President Obama insisted in an ABC News interview the day before the Paris attacks.
It's no wonder a recent Fox News national poll indicated that "terrorism" is at the top of Americans' worries — strikingly placed above critical issues like the economy.
The ISIS fight has been America's lead since September 2014, when the U.S. air campaign started. We keep hearing from the White House that degrading and defeating ISIS is going to get done, but that it's going to take time.
Even yesterday, the president didn't offer up anything new following his meeting with French President Francois Hollande at the White House beyond the already announced tweaks to his plan made in late October.
The question is: How much pain and suffering are we — and countless others — going to have to bear while Team Obama attempts to lead the shaky, multinational, anti-ISIS coalition to "victory" over the terror group with its standing strategy?
There's something to chew on while gobbling down tomorrow's turkey.

So here is my story. My fiancé and I have been together for 18 years. We have a four year old daughter together.
On 6/22/13, he went to the bathroom and left his phone in the room where I was at. I never looked at his phone ever because I trusted him but a text came in so I decided to pick it up. It said "If you want a blow job, get up with me before 12." I freaked out! Took the phone straight to him and asked him what it was about. He said wrong number, and locked himself inside the bathroom and deleted everything. On iphone, you can delete the messages without deleting the number so by the time I was able to get access to the phone, there was nothing left but numbers. Several different numbers so I wrote them down. I ended up texting the phone from my cell and they also said wrong number but there was something in the way they said it that bothered me. If I could of remained calm I could of just picked up the phone and read everything on it. His packrat ways made him keep every email/text/voicemail he ever got but he deleted when he realized I was on alert. I kept searching the phone numbers and this number was unlisted. I started looking at phone records and went back a year. I saw all kind of phone numbers on our records. Texts, calls. When I would ask him, he would say he had no clue. Since he used it for business it could of been anyone. I kept asking why the same numbers were called over and over and he could (would) not explain anything for me. I came across a number that I was able to get an address and name on. Just kept doing a lot of research and putting two and two together. My child is suffering because I am obsessed with finding out who this person/people are.
I broke into his email and found where he had tried to contact female escorts on three different occasions. Two in 2010. And one (one was the same one from 2010) June 9th of this year. It was obvious from the emails that he did not meet these people though. One didn't answer back until the next day. We were on family vacation and had left town by then. Other sent him to some age verification website.
I set up a google voice account with a different number and texted him with it pretending to be "her". I told him that I was sorry that his fiancé found out but that I had been diagnosed with chlamydia and that he might need to get checked out. He called back and asked for her by name. Just the first name. Hot headed me gave myself away. I figured by him asking for her by name that he would tell me the rest. But no. He lied again! He said he made up the name because he didn't know why someone was texting him and figured that the person would say who they were if he just said that name. We argued and fought and he stuck to it. I continued researching and facebooked the first name of the person he said. One person stuck out. She was also related to the person of the number I had the info on. She also worked at a place that he frequented. I asked him about her, and he swore he knew no one by that name. Finally, I used the google voice and texted her acting like I was him. She fell for it hook,line, and sinker. I still wasn't sure of the last name and tried to get her address. That is when she realized it wasn't him because he knew her address. I called her, texted her every name in the book. Swore I would make her life hell. The whole nine yards. Then we ended up talking. She apologized to me for any part in what happened. Said it was only sex. That she didn't know about me or my daughter. THat once she found out, she called it off. That she had an ex husband that cheated and knows the pain. She wished she would of tried to work it out for her kids sake. Yada yada. When I confronted him, he still tried to lie. Saying she was making that stuff up because she was mad. I of course had threatened to kick him out throughout the course of all this at different time and he refused to go. Put his clothes in trash bags, etc. He finally came clean that night after hours of arguing and lying. He said she did know about me, just didn't care. I figured as much because during my talking to her, I revealed I knew her name, where she worked, where she lived. She was trying to protect herself from looking bad. She still doesn't know who I am. She knows the town I live in and she said I drove a dark car and that she did know my name but forgot it. I think I had her pretty much freaking out that I knew so much about her. He met her in July 2012 and they have been talking ever since. He would call her or she would call him 4/5 times a day. He even talked to her once for 75 minutes. It burns me up because if I ever called him, he was too busy and would hang up.
We didn't sleep in the same bed, he slept on the couch most nights because he said the bed was uncomfortable. We still had sex weekly though. Our "agreement" was twice a week. I know that sounds awful that we planned it but that is what happens sometimes when you work full time and have kids. The sex was always good IMO and he always seemed to desire me.
Apparently this woman was broke and needed money, so he would give her money in return for oral sex. He said it only happened a few times though. I feel like they probably had intercourse too. I think in his head he thinks oral is not cheating? And they had to have more of a relationship to have just that. With all the calling and talking and texting.
I have went through his phone bill with a fine tooth comb and he has reluctantly admitted all the different numbers were her. She had different cells/numbers at different times because her phone would get cut off or whatever.
There were three numbers though he could not explain. They were the numbers on his cell that he had text messaged. I put them in google as last resort and found they were numbers of escorts. One didn't answer back. THe other sent him to her website in which it asks for name and address and he didn't do it. You could not schedule with her without doing that. And the other I never found, so thinking that one didn't get sent, it was just saved on his phone.
It is just a great big mess. I want to work it out for our little girl. He said he wanted to work it out and will do anything I ask. Counseling or whatever it takes but he has slowly backed away from that. I have an appointment with a counselor set up next week.
He admitted he has a problem with porn and I think he was kind of admitting to being a sex addict without actually saying it. He wants to sweep it under the rug though and I can't let it go. Our relationship hasn't been good for a really long time. For other reasons. I had become distant myself. I always thought if I caught him cheating that it would be the dealbreaker but when it came down to it and realizing my little girl wasn't going to have her family anymore, I changed. I do want to make it work, but only if he puts in the effort and it can be BETTER than what it was before. I am not sure if he is going to do that.
I do know that all activity has ceased because I check his cell everyday and our records. He has no access to a computer. He said he wants to delete all the old emails and start new and I could have his password. I don't know why, since I looked at them all.
I forgot to mention, he even contacted a Russian Mail Order Bride in 2005! I almost have to laugh at that, it is so ridiculous. Thanks for listening to me. If you made it this far, BLESS YOUR HEARTS!!!

I'm so sorry you are going through this.
Only someone who has been there can understand the pain, the agony of infidelity. We understand. Keep posting and reading - it will help.
All this is still fairly new. The truth is that it will take months to come to grips with what he has done and with what you want to do next. Don't rush into making any decisions or radical life changes - but you do need to make sure that his life is an open book and that all the crap stops.
I don't think porn or "sex addiction" is the problem. The problem is his actions his choices. Blaming sex addiction is making bad behavior a disease rather than a moral and ethical lapse - I just don't buy it.
You will be going through a long, painful process - expect the next 2 years to be full of pain and setbacks. Your marriage will suffer. But, if both you try, you can get past this, your marriage can get past this. It will take time.
Good luck and hugs again.

Have you read the reference thread on WS that use prostitutes and anonymous encounters?
I wouldn't get hung up on whether he is a sex addict. The effect on you is the same whether he is or not. What you need to do is go to the reference thread and get appropriate IC set up for you, get tested for STDs, and also see a L in case it affects custody and financial issues as non-married people. It really doesn't matter WHY he made "bad choices", what matters is is he being truthful, transparent, remorseful, and willing to do anything to save your relationship. And it sounds like he's not. So you need to proceed accordingly. (((hugs)))

Today, Congressman Bill Foster (IL-11) released a statement celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act. The Act, signed into law by President John F. Kennedy, established the principle of equal pay for equal work by women.
While the Equal Pay Act marked the first step towards pay equality, 50 years later, Illinois women still only make on average 77 cents for every dollar men make doing the same work -- that adds up to a pay gap of $11,596 a year.
"While the signing of the Equal Pay Act was an important step forward, the data shows we still have much work to do to achieve pay equality, especially right here in Illinois" Foster said. "It is disgraceful that women in the workplace still face such a large pay gap. Equal work deserves equal pay. It's time for Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and ensure women are getting the fair pay and respect they deserve."
Foster is a cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would make wage discrimination based on gender subject to the same remedies as discrimination based on race or national origin; would prohibit employers from retaliating against workers for sharing salary information; and would enhance the federal government's ability to enforce pay discrimination laws.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Rich Anderson tells TheIowaRepublican.com that he does not believe there are grounds to impeach the four Iowa Supreme Court justices. "I don't think there is enough support in the House to move the impeachment process forward," Anderson said. "I think that's probably the case in the Judiciary Committee as well. I think the general sense is that no matter how much opposition or disagreement there is a particular opinion, issuing that opinion doesn't rise to the level of misdemeanor or malfeasance, which is the standard that would have to be met to move impeachment forward. I don't think that standard is likely met."

Killed in an attack on the Maison de la Presse in Algiers when three men parked a car-bomb near the wall of the offices of the newspaper Le Soir d'Algérie, which were destroyed in the blast and those of Le Matin and L'Opinion damaged. Two other Le Soir journalists, editor-in-chief Allaoua Ait Mebarek, and Mohamed Dorbhan, columnist and cartoonist, were killed and several from Le Matin and L'Opinion wounded. A dozen people were killed in all. The Armed Islamic Group (GIA) claimed credit for the attack five days later.
- Algeria - 1991-96: Civil war
The Algerian civil war was between the government plus the army and police, and various Islamist groups. Fighting began in in December 1991, when the government cancelled elections after the first round because it feared the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) would win and establish a theocracy. After the FIS was banned, different Islamist guerrilla groups quickly emerged and began fighting the government and its supporters. The main armed groups were the Islamic Armed Movement (MIA), operating in the mountains, and the Islamic Armed Group (GIA) in urban areas. The fighting is thought to have killed more than 100,000 people. The election of a new president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, in 1999 and an amnesty for most of the fighters helped end the civil war, which was won by the government. The Islamic Salvation Army (AIS) (formerly the MIA) surrendered and the GIA was defeated by 2002.
- Algeria - 1991-96: Repression
Journalists were especially targeted in the civil war, caught between Islamist violence and the government's political, economic, and administrative oppression, and were forced to live in semi-clandestinity. At least 59 were killed. They were a favourite target of the Islamic Armed Group (GIA), whose leader, Mourad Si Ahmed, said in 1993 that "those who fight us with their pens will perish by the sword."
- Algeria - 1995-96: Civil war
Talks between the government and the imprisoned leaders of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) broke down in 1995 and fighting between the Islamic Armed Group (GIA) and the pro-FIS Islamic Salvation Army (AIS) intensified.

Organized by TMX Show Productions and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, Boat Asia 2012, ran from the 12th-15th April at Marina at Keppel Bay, featuring a lineup of more than 50 luxury yachts from 30' to 130', which showcased the best of Southeast Asia's growing leisure marine industry. Over 12,000 people visited the show and its 100 exhibits from the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, the US, the Middle East, and China.
Although boating markets have been relatively quiet, the event's long-term reputation for attracting genuine yet disparate buyers to see a wide range of watercraft, from sailboats to superyachts, again proved the right Asian formula, and separately CEO Herman Ho said substantial new initiatives would help increase both exhibitors and high-end visitors when the next Boat Asia takes place from April 18-21 next year.
Observers noted that the Hainan Rendezvous in Sanya, the China International Boat Show in Shanghai, and Boat Asia in Singapore were held in consecutive weeks, allowing boat yards in Europe and North America, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand to better focus on the evolving Asian scene.
Mr Ho did not elaborate on what the Boat Asia initiatives might be, but he has taken a no-nonsense approach to the event since purchasing it five years ago, and moving it steadily upmarket. "It's been extremely satisfying to see serious sales and charter business being transacted by our new and regular exhibitors," said Herman. "We continue to cement our position as the only leading Singaporebased regional boat show of real merit, one which always delivers."
On the waterfront, Boat Asia 2012 returned with its highly popular Lifestyle concept, featuring prestigious brands such as Audi, Gaggenau and Mumm Champagne in addition to a wide range of on-land exhibitors from resort operators, charter companies, clothing and fashion brands, swimwear and sports and nautical watches. Lifestyle brands participating included Creatifventure, Paul & Shark Yachting, Wyndham Wines, Chivas, San Benedetto, Citibank "preferred credit card", Scarlet Hotel, Naumi Hotel Singapore and X-tra furnishers.
In a coup for Boat Asia 2012, this year's show featured Sea Bear, the superyacht owned by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus (known by his nickname "Golden Bear"). Sea Bear was featured alongside numerous other exciting exhibitors including Vicem Yachts Turkey, Changi Sailing, Nansha Marina China, Yacht Haven Phuket, LOPE HK, X-tra, Lloyd Marine, Paul & Shark Yachting, Bellingham, RSYC, Jade Marine HK, Oneberry, and AzureaLifestyle. Also taking part were Grady White, Cris Craft, MAN Engines, Suzuki Outboards, MAN Engines, Stormy Lifejackets and Seadoo, while Boat Asia stalwarts like Gulf Craft, Horizon Yachts and SG Boating, whose brands include Leopard Catamarans, Fairline, Chaparral, Robalo, and Meridian, also featured prominently. The yacht trade was well represented with yacht shipment experts Peters and May.
Off-the-water activities included car displays and test-drives, a nautical fashion and swimwear show at the waterfront promenade, jazz performances, wine and whisky tasting and an exclusive timepiece showcase.
Boat Asia 2012 had a special focus on the growing interest in luxury charters
Jack Nicklaus Sea Bear Debuts at Boat Asia 2012
TMX Show Productions Pte Ltd (TMX) acquired Suntec Integrated Media (SIM) in November 2007. TMX focuses on conceptualizing and managing specialized sports and lifestyle events for (targeted) industries and market segments. Boat Asia (conferred the Best Boat Show in Asia by the prestigious Christofle Asia Boating Awards 2007) is Asia's leading leisure boat and luxury lifestyle event.
For more information on TMX, visit www.tmx.com.sg. from corporations and private banks and for the first time featured an exclusive luxury private yacht charter segment. Regional luxury charter companies included Aqua International and international luxury charter companies include Sunsail and Fraser's Yacht.
The event also showcased the increasing use of "green" technologies in boat building and design. There were some interesting products in this sector which will reduce the carbon footprint for environmentally conscious boaters. The "green boats" on display featured such innovations as solar films and panels, solar electric power and fuel cells.

Endangered species conservation on private land: Assessing the effectiveness of habitat conservation plans
Habitat conservation plans (HCPs) have become a key instrument for implementation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on private land. However, there is no systematic analysis of their effectiveness in promoting endangered species recovery. This paper is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of HCPs on species recovery status. We find evidence that HCPs have a significant positive impact on species recovery. Our results also suggest that the recovery benefits are larger when species have relatively larger plans. However, we fail to find strong evidence that multi-species plans covering more species are more effective than plans which include fewer species.

Captain Cool and his India A side may have lost the warm-up match on Tuesday (January 10), but the accolades for MS Dhoni continued to pour in. On Wednesday, Muttiah Muralitharan, Sri Lanka's spin wizard, and Ashish Nehra, the veteran India pacer, had praise for the former captain.
Even as England got ready for the limited-overs leg of their India tour, some focus shifted to Australia's visit in February, where David Warner plans to use a heavier willow to counter spin.
Pakistan's Wasim Akram has an arrest warrant in his name, 19-year-old Hanan Khan, who makes parathas for a living in Karachi has been called to train at the NCA, and Melbourne Stars' Liam Bowe who made his debut against Adelaide Strikers is now cricket's Harry Potter.
Lodha panel goes into a huddle to ensure hassle-free India-England series (Indian Express)
The Lodha Committee is meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday morning to ensure that the upcoming limited-overs series between India and England — three ODIs and three T20 Internationals — is played without any hitch. According to a source close to the panel, the committee, in the wake of reports that the ousted Indian cricket officialdom is in a combative mood and might create impediments, wants to make watertight arrangements to avert any possible situation that could impact the schedule or smooth hosting of the matches. BCCI chief executive Rahul Johri is likely to take part in the meeting and will be apprised of the plans to organise a hassle-free series.
Anurag Thakur, Ajay Shirke's official BCCI e-mail address removed (Indian Express)
Anurag Thakur doesn't have an official BCCI email address anymore. Neither do Ajay Shirke and other ousted BCCI officials. On January 3, post the Supreme Court order, without informing its two former big bosses Thakur and Shirke, the current BCCI regime led by CEO Rahul Johri terminated their official email addresses along with those of their personal assistants. On January 3, after the judges introduced a sub clause which said officials with nine years cumulative experience in board or state associations can't remain in office, the BCCI headquarters deactivated the email ids of its five vice-Presidents — TC Matthew, G Gangaraju, ML Nehru, Gautam Roy, CK Khanna, treasurer Anirudh Chaudhary, Jt secretary Amitabh Chaudhary and IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla as well their personal assistants' email accounts. Shukla's email was restored subsequently as he remains the IPL chairman.
A level playing field (Indian Express)
Remember the Rungtas? They ruled Rajasthan cricket from 1972-2004. The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) office and the Rungta household were as far apart as a wicket-keeper and the extra-cover fielder on a cricket field. The men who tended their gardens, served them food and drove their cars were RCA members. District votes were irrelevant as the family retinue kept their masters, the Rungtas, in power for decades. With the home front secured, the Marwari businessmen from Jaipur outlived most in the BCCI. The father and son went on to secure top positions in Indian cricket, hobnobbed with the powerful and possessed the power to oblige the VVIPs in the cricket-crazy nation on match days.
How a fan scaled a 10-ft fence to touch Mahendra Singh Dhoni's feet at Brabourne (Hindustan Times)
The Brabourne Stadium was buzzing with chants of 'Dhoni, Dhoni', emotions running high among thousands of his fans who had descended at the venue to watch his farewell as skipper of an Indian side. Mahendra Singh Dhoni fans were also granted their wish when he came out to provide a sparkling finish to the India A innings against England XI, smashing an unbeaten 68 off 40 deliveries. Although there wasn't any shortage of entertainment, a spectator jumped the 10-feet fencing, dodged the security cover in the North Stand fence, only to touch the feet of Dhoni, who was batting, to add more colour to the memorable evening for the fans. Dhoni and partner Hardik Pandya were chatting in between overs. The well-built spectator was initially hesitant to come on to the pitch. It was only after Dhoni insisted that the person jumped over the wicket to touch the double World Cup-winning skipper's feet.
After Virat Kohli, Ashish Nehra says MS Dhoni will always be the captain (Deccan Chronicle)
Indian skipper Virat Kohli melted many hearts when he said former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will always remain his captain. The Delhi lad is not the only Indian cricketer to hold such a special place for Dhoni, his teammate Ashish Nehra has resonated similar respect and love for 'Captain Cool'. "For me, he will always (be) the captain, said Nehra to BCCI.tv. "Yesterday, I met him after 5-6 months and the first thing, (I asked) was how are you captain?" The pacer has spent a lot of time with the Jharkhand cricketer in the IPL side Chennai Supers Kings.
MS Dhoni one of India's best captains: Muttiah Muralitharan (Cricketcountry)
Sri Lankan spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan praised MS Dhoni for being one of India's best captains. Dhoni, who won the ICC World Twenty20 (WT20), ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and ICC Champions Trophy 2013, stepped down as the skipper of India's limited-overs side last week. Muralitharan also stated that former India player, Ravi Shastri, must have missed mentioning Sourav Ganguly's name while compiling his list of all-time best captains for India. "In my long cricket career, Dhoni is one of the best Indian cricket captains. The three years I played under his captaincy in Chennai Super Kings (CSK), I never saw any arrogance from Dhoni. He was always down to earth and was open to take advice from senior players like me and Michael Hussey. Being such a big star, he always maintained a low profile," stated Muralitharan.
Warner for heavier bat to deal with spin, low bounce in India (The Times of India)
David Warner has started his preparations for the tour of India and the in-form Australian batsman has resorted to using a heavier bat to counter the conditions in the sub-continent. Warner will lower the sweet spot of his bat and have a heavier blade to tackle the lower bounce and sharp turn generated by the Indian spinners led by Ravichandran Ashwin, reported by the 'Sydney Morning Herald'. The daily also reported that the Australian captain Steve Smith will use the same bat he uses in Australia. Warner's Gray-Nicolls Kaboom bat weighs 1.23 kilograms in Australia but the one he plans to use in India will weigh around 1.28 kilograms.
Mushy puts onus on batsmen (The Daily Star)
Bangladesh Test captain Mushfiqur Rahim said that they need to show character if they are to put up a fight in the Two-Test series against New Zealand with the first one starting at the Basin Reserve in Wellington from Thursday. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who missed the all but the first match of the six-match limited overs series after picking up a hamstring injury in the opening ODI at Christchurch, also stressed the need of the batting unit to show grit and application in the demanding five-day contest. "Our main challenge will be for our batsman to set the tone for our bowlers to fight. If we can put up enough runs on the board in both innings, it will help our bowlers to defend. And it is very important for us to score runs," said Mushfiqur, adding that he was feeling alright at the moment but cannot rule out the recurrence of hamstring pain.
Arrest warrant issued against Wasim Akram in road rage case (India Today)
A Pakistani court has issued an arrest warrant against legendary cricketer Wasim Akram for continuously missing 31 hearings in a "road rage" case filed by him. Akram, 50, has missed the hearings of the case, that was filed by him in 2015 after his vehicle was fired upon in Karsaz area of Karachi in what the police had described as an incident fueled by "road rage".
Comment from 'my bunny Boof' highlights everything wrong with Australian cricket: Brett Geeves (Fox Sports)
On Monday, I felt the repercussions of what happens when you step out of line and lose sight of your official standing in the code as a player who does not feature on a Channel 9 lithograph.
In response to my article that questioned Lehmann's message in the media that Matt Renshaw was no guarantee to hold his place as a starter for the opening test in India – even though his last innings was a beautifully crafted 184 on a turning SCG wicket – he offered up this as a warning that I was to shut it.
Kevin Pietersen clashes with umpires as Stars outshine Strikers (The Australian)
Melbourne Stars batsman Kevin Pietersen clashed with umpires during his side's nailbiting Big Bash win over the Adelaide Strikers last night.Pietersen earlier became embroiled in a dispute about Strikers' allrounder Kieron Pollard's strapped bowling hand. The former England star demanded that Pollard remove the tape on his bruised hand before he would face a ball against him. "I just want to get him to take that off his hand. I don't think it's right," Pietersen said. "One umpire says it's fair and the other umpire says it's not, so I said 'I'm not going to bat until it's off'." Pietersen eventually relented and faced up to Pollard but appeared frustrated by the umpires' lack of action. "I don't think we've got a solution here," he said.
'Parathay wala' selected for T20s against Malaysia, eyes slot in national team (DAWN)
Hanan khan, who makes parathas at a local hotel, has been called to represent NCA XI against the visiting Malaysian team. "I am really happy to get this chance," he said. "When the first telephone call came from Lahore, I was playing a match. Later I called back and was informed about my selection," he told DawnNews.
Explaining his overwhelming jubilation, he said, "I wasn't sure if it was a genuine call or not, so I called back again and confirmed my selection for the two T20's." The 19-year-old has been representing Quetta in the domestic grade-2 matches, while he was also selected by Quetta Gladiators during their talent hunt in Quetta.
Pakistan Cricket Board upset by safety warning over Super League final (stuff.co.nz)
The Pakistan Cricket Board is angry that the international players' body has advised foreign players against visiting Lahore in March for the Pakistan Super League final. The Twenty20 league will be played mainly in the United Arab Emirates, but the PCB has scheduled the final for Lahore on March 5. In case foreign players refuse to go to Lahore, the PCB said it plans to replace them with other willing foreigners. But a report by the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA) warns all foreign players from going to Pakistan for security reasons.
Chappell's comments on Pakistan team draw Akhtar retort (Daily Times)
Former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar responded to former Australian captain Ian Chappell's comments about Pakistan's poor performances down under.Akhtar responded stating that just because a team is not winning matches doesn't mean that they have to stop playing. He cited England's performances in the ODI World Cups as an example. Akthar tweeted, "Pak lacked grit: Chappell. I agree but not coming to Australia no remedy. England never won World Cup but doesn't mean they shouldn't participate."
Teen Big Bash debutant an instant crowd favourite (New Zealand Herald)
Teenage debutant Liam Bowe was an instant hit with fans.His debut for the Melbourne Stars at the MCG was destined to be impressive, occupying the number 23 jersey made famous by Shane Warne throughout his career in limited overs cricket. The left arm recruit caught the attention of fans after snagging powerhouse Ben Dunk with a quicker ball, forcing the Strikers opener to rush his shot and slice it into the hands of David Hussey at mid-off. His prowess with the ball led the Melbourne Stars to dub him "The Wizard", much to fans' enjoyment. With Bowe's most obvious feature being his glasses, viewers were quick to affectionately rename him to "cricket's Harry Potter".

The city of Joplin, Mo., continues to rebuild after a devastating tornado touched down on a Sunday afternoon last year. The Joplin Globe reported that since May 22, 2011, building permits have topped $268 million. Included is a permit for $3.4 million that was filed by Hunt Taylor Creek to rebuild the LDS meetinghouse at Indiana Ave.
"We're in the framing stage right now," Duane Hunt, one of the owners, said Monday of the 21,000-square-foot building for the Mormon chapel. "We're looking in the neighborhood of September, could be the first of October (for completion)."
The chapel was one of many buildings damaged or demolished by a tornado in that area in May.
In other building news, the town council of Gilbert, Ariz., approved a zoning request for an area surrounding the LDS temple, as reported by azcentral.com
"The proposed 202-acre Somerset neighborhood is owned by LeSueur Investments, which also owned the adjacent property where The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is now building its fourth Arizona temple."
The temple in Hartford, Conn., which was announced Oct. 2, 2010, is in the planning stages. Farmingtonpatch.com noted that church representatives are expected to make an informal presentation to the Town Plan and Zone Commission on Monday.
Peter Fishman, owner of the site, said, "They're proposing to build an incredibly beautiful, very New England-appropriate temple that is going to be a significant landmark in this town for hundreds of years."

BYU student Gabriel Nicholas and younger brother Benjamin cope and bond with the challenges of cystic fibrosis.
The article at Cyprus Creek Mirror of Houston states, " it is (Gabriel's) ability to look on the bright side of life that has helped him overcome the setbacks of his medical conditions.
"I think it's definitely a challenge sometimes, but not a disability. It's something I can overcome. I don't feel any different than anyone else most of the time," Gabriel said. "It's great stand-up material also."1 comment on this story
Another LDS Church member, Kay Charter, was featured on Burnabynow, part of the Canada.com network. Charter turned 100 this week, and the article noted her life from England to Canada, growing up through the Great Depression and her positions in the community. Despite the generation gap, her friendship with Mangla Bansal, 24, has not lessened. Bansal has made several short documentary style films of Charter.
"I wouldn't change a thing, I really wouldn't — not a thing," said Charter, with a smile, the article reports. "I've had a wonderful life. I've been blessed."

Energy access is a key element to improving people's lives, especially in more remote rural communities where mains electricity does not reach, and basic needs are met with difficulty as a result. In these locations there are a number of small-scale renewable energy technologies that can be used. These technologies include; micro-hydro, solar energy, wind as well as more traditional biomass technologies such as biogas, crop waste, biofuels and stoves.
