'Improved' Express cuts most comics UPDATED
Should you wish to question this improvement, you can write to email@example.com
I will be doing so in a few minutes.
UPDATE: The editor wrote back to me to say, "We might feature fewer comics in our print edition now, but we've added an expanded comics section in an easy-access, newspaper-style format at our Web site, ExpressNightOut.com. You'll find Bizarro, Cornered and The Duplex there every day - plus a slew of new comics to make a visit worth your time. Those include Lio, Non Sequitur, The Argyle Sweater, Bound and Gagged, Candorville, Cul de Sac and the New Adventures of Queen Victoria. You can find them here: http://www.expressnightout.com/comics."
While I obviously don't agree with him, I appreciate the fact that he took the time to respond. I've just sent him a response which includes, "We'll have to agree to disagree though because if it's a commuting newspaper, then putting the comics online doesn't really help anyone except those with overly-smart phones. Besides the Post does that already. In the end, I just don't see providing less of something as a way to bring in more readers."

It's pretty laughable to have the header "Comics" and have two comics strips below it. Honestly, might as well just cut them out entirely; it just looks silly.
- Michael said...
Well my problem is that the three they took out (Duplex, Cornered, and Bizzaro) were the three best. Not to knock the other two, but they just weren't as funny and succint.
So I don't really get it either. I usually didn't read Pooch Cafe or Pearls Before Swine...so now I don't even flip to the "comics" section.

LONDON -- Just when it seemed Chelsea's reputation couldn't sink any lower after a controversy-ridden 2012, along came "Ballboygate."
The Football Association's disciplinary body is set to open a fresh file on the English club after winger Eden Hazard was sent off for kicking a 17-year-old ball boy while attempting to retrieve the ball toward the end of a League Cup semifinal match against Swansea.
The Belgium winger has apologized to the ball boy -- and will not face criminal charges -- but will be handed a minimum three-match ban for violent conduct, depriving Chelsea of one of its top players. The FA, which was reviewing the incident Thursday, could increase the suspension in "exceptional circumstances."
Worse for the European champions, however, is having face up to further accusations that its millionaire players are out of control, soon after the racism scandals involving John Terry, Ashley Cole and John Obi Mikel that blighted 2012.
"It is an extraordinary incident," former referee Dermot Gallagher said. "There's no defence for that. Someone said it was borne out of frustration but you have to accept it . it was an extreme but you can't have that at a football match."
The incident sparked a flurry of activity on social networking sites and induced imaginative headlines in British newspapers, such as "Ed Case," "Occupational Hazard" and "Boots of Hazard." BBC radio has already been referring to it as "Ballboygate."
Many ex-professionals have reacted with sympathy for Hazard, who was attempting to get the ball back into play as quickly as possible with Chelsea needing two late goals to force extra time in the second leg. The match finished 0-0, with Swansea progressing to the final 2-0 on aggregate.
"I'm not saying its the correct thing 2 do but when in the heat of the moment u just want the ball," Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar wrote on Twitter.
It is another saga that Chelsea could do without, with controversy seemingly hovering over the club on a permanent basis.
"I do not know what you expect from me," Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez said. "Do you think we are not disappointed with the situation, that we do not regret what happened?
"Do you want to change things? We cannot."
Chelsea probably wishes it could change a lot of things over the past 12 months, save its unexpected Champions League title in May.
The club was at the centre of a major racism incident that gripped English football last year when Terry was banned for four matches for hurling a racial slur at an opponent during a league game. The case, which also involved Cole, took a year to be resolved.
In November, a complaint by Chelsea that one of its black players -- Mikel -- had been subjected to racist abuse by a referee during a game was dismissed by the FA. Mark Clattenburg, the referee in question, was removed from duty by the Premier League for four straight weekends and received unwanted media scrutiny.
At least Chelsea responded quickly to this latest incident, quickly putting up on its website an apology from Hazard. There are also reports the ball boy was welcomed into the changing room and treated well by Terry and Frank Lampard, Chelsea's two most senior players.
"Both parties have come together and we've got a mutual bond," Gallagher said. "That is brilliant for the future, but it doesn't escape the fact that the FA are duty bound to act."
Following Wednesday night's Champions League win, we catch up with the Impact's Head Coach
We recap the UEFA Champions League Matchday 1 and sneak a peak at Tommy's legendary prediction ways.

A New HomeA snarl that pierced the night. Moonlight glinting off bared canines. Yellow eyes glaring into the depths of his very soul. An agonizing pain in his upper arm.This is all that can be remembered by the eleven-year-old. His age is tender. Not quite aware enough yet to realize the seriousness of what has happened to him. Not naive enough to be able to recover without mental scars. His black hair is a ruffled mess, silvery highlights that had not been there two days prior glimmering in the light creeping through the cracks of his window shades. He lays on his side, knees curled near to his chest, his icy blue eyes open but unseeing as he listens. Since he was very small, he has realized that the voices of his parents carry through the vent from their room to his. It has been a source of comfort, has caused him to feel close to them even after he has gone to bed, but now, their voices provide no comfort. In fact, their voices now cause nothing but confusion and pain. "We can't keep him
UncertaintyFire is everywhere, dazzling my eyes with its deadly beauty. Thick, dark smoke burns my throat with each gasp for air I take. I'm so weak, I feel like giving up, just letting the smoke suffocate me, but the screaming bundle in my arms demands that I keep moving. The exit can't be far...not too far...My eyes snap open, the familiar sound of his crying bringing me out of my nightmare. This will be the third time tonight...It must be nearly dawn by now. With a slight groan, I get out of bed and walk over to the crib. His eyes are screwed shut as he screams, his tiny fists waving in the air. I have to ask the innkeeper in the morning when babies start sleeping through the night. I'm not sure how much more I can take of this. Regardless, I pick him up, cradling his little body against my shoulder. Almost immediately, his crying stops. I wonder if he suffered a nightmare too? I wouldn't be surprised; such an ordeal for a helpless infant. I just wish I knew how to better care for him...I wal
A Nocturne's MusingsIt's not like he ever asked for these missions. Nooo, quite the opposite. He told them he wasn't cut out for hunting down Heartless! He'd told them over and over (and over and over and over...) that he simply wasn't the type to hunt down giant killing machines. Send Xigbar or Luxord, maybe even Saix himself should go, he'd said! But did they listen? No, he'd only gotten yelled at again. Man, all he wanted was a little time to relax with his sitar! Was that too much to ask? Whenever he tried to work on his music, people would come banging on his door, telling him to keep it down already. He was an artist! He needed a better environment for working on his dear music, one with a considerable lack of evil, grumpy coworkers (Saix and Xaldin came to mind in particular. Maybe it was time to come up with a way to get back at them...) to get in his way of getting the creative juices really flowing.But seeing as there wasn't much he could do about that at the moment, it would be n
RemnantFaint memories. Vague, uncompleted thoughts. Mother's voice haunts him, calling him, even in this state of limbo. She has a task for him to complete, and she will not be satisfied until it is finished. This place is supposed to be one of rest, this place they call the Lifestream. Yet there is no peace from Mother's endless call. And what son would deny his Mother what she asks of him? Slowly, things begin to come into focus. He is aware of the fact that he is no longer alone. There is another presence within his very skin, whispering unintelligible things in his ears. He feels strangely threatened by this presence, and yet he senses the crucial role it has to play. Mother desires this presence
this Sephiroth. She yearns for it, beckons to it. And knowing this
truly hurts him. But he will not refuse his Mother her desires. He will complete the task he was born to do. He will take Sephiroth to Mother, and she will love him for it. These thoughts moving through his
From the DarknessHello Ventus,Surprised to hear from me again? If only I could see the look on your face. I'm sure you thought you were rid of me. Well
you will never be rid of me Ventus. I am the darkness of your heart. Always I will lurk on the fringes of your light, haunting your every step, clouding your every moment. I am the embodiment of your deepest desires and your darkest nightmares. I have everything you could ever want, and yet all that I am disgusts you. I can see it in your eyes when you look at me. You both hate me and pity me for the dark, empty creature that I am. But what I am
heh, it's all from you. There could be no me if this cruelty, this vanity and anger hadn't been within your heart first. Doesn't that please you? I can imagine you struggling now, wanting to attack me for what I have to say. But you're incapable of reaching me. Your heart is too weak to leave the body of that pathetic child. My half a heart contains what strength remains. You see? It only prove
AcheI've lost count of the number of times I've been here. Whenever I need to escape Hope's frantic planning and Sahz's cynical comments, this is where I come, to a place as silent as a tomb...her grave. The stone I engraved with my own hands marks the place where her lifeless body lays. I couldn't protect her from her fate..not at the same time as saving the future. I was forced to choose, but now that I look around...I see I chose wrong. I only destroyed the future, and Serah paid the price for my mistakes. "I'm so sorry..." My voice quivers slightly as I speak into the silence. I've said the same words so many times, they feel empty. But what else do I have to say? "You have nothing to be sorry for." I turn at the sound of the voice, my heart seeming to freeze with shock. "Serah..." I'm on my feet and standing before her in a heartbeat. Could it...really be her? The same warm smile, the same beautiful face...But as soon as my trembling hand touches her cheek, she vanishes like mist. I f
UnlessIt's so...so quiet. So dead. No more humming from the ponds or singing from the sky. No more playful squeals of Barbaloots beneath the trees. There are no trees. Now that I have a moment without profits or thneeds to distract me, I realize this silence has been slowly growing for a long time. And not that everyone is gone, well...the silence is overwhelming. What an "empire" I've created: this dead, sludge and smog-filled land. What ever happened to the paradise I first came upon, the one that brought tears to my eyes because of its beauty? Tears now fill my eyes again for this place, but not for the same reasons. Now, these tears are tears of shame and regret. I destroyed a paradise, because I wanted to gain from it. And what did I gain? Loneliness, and a handful of empty buildings. Even my wealth is gone, taken from me by my relatives and the utter ruin of the company's stock when the last tree fell. Oh how I wish I'd just listened to that Lorax. He tried so many times to warn

You neglect the fact that the orioles were outscored by the Rangers by 21 runs in four games (one series) which creates an inaccurate over and under for runs. For that to be reflected as "luck" in nonsense. Also, is having a bullpen with one of the lowest ERAs in baseball and a knack for closing out games "luck"?
Baltimore is playing better than last year so far. Will see if they have what it takes to stay on up. as long as they finish above five hundred this year the people in and from Baltimore will be happen. I'm one of those people from baltimore.
Some good points, here but you're missing some things.
Baltimore has played a crazy number of extra innings this year, so their bullpen has had to pitch 35 extra innings. That means more appearances from the mop up crew, who have given up a lot of runs that have simply turned lopsided losses into more lopsided losses.
But you are right, the Orioles aren't as good as their record. But if the are the slightly above average team that the advanced stats say they've looked like so far, they will still end up with a win total in the high 80s and a they'll be in the mix for a wild card spot.
You won't hear any Oriole fan complain about that outcome.
Looks like somebody learned a little about statistics. A little knowledge is still a dangerous thing.
So do you realize that the Os actually have a better run differential than the Rays, and the Red Sox's is only one run better? If you are going to go all based off of run differential the title should be 'Toronto most unlucky team in baseball' since their run differential is over twice everyone else in the division!
It would have been nice to see some real baseball analysis in this article. You quote "facts and figures" while leaving out the big picture, like the four game set with the Rangers where the O's were outscored by 21 runs. Yes our bullpen has thrown more than they should, but thats what happens when you have a 17, 15, and 13 inning game all in the same month and in the same stretch of games before having a day off.
You can call it luck all you want, but watch them play. Don't just look at the numbers (and really really don't get hung up on ONE statistic) and watch how they play.
Looks to me like some $awx fan has his panties bunched up by their horrible play. You can try to bend fringe stats all you want, but the record speaks for itself. This team has no quit in them and plays hard until the last out is made and you want to call it luck? Just don't jump on the O's bandwagon when they prove you wrong.
Run differential in a small sample is generally noisy and useless. It's Stats 101.
Incredible in-depth analysis. All this based on run differential? Really?
Worked hard on this article didn't you? I'm guessing that if the Yankees had the same record and run differential as the Orioles and were in first place it would be all skill, grit, determination and the will to win.
I hope you won that bet on how many times you could use the word luck in an article.
Well, Its' Sept 17 and the O's are 1 run behind the Yanks. Just swept the Rays. Do you still think that with 16 games left to play it is still luck?

Flurry of New Orders for Embraer
Embraer entered the Paris Air Show on a roll last month and exited with a flourish, signing orders for fourteen 118-seat 195s with Flybe and twenty 190s with GECAS. The Brazilian company also found a new route to India with a preliminary commitment for two Embraer 170s and three 175s from start-up airline Paramount Airways. Flybe plans to replace its fleet of aging BAe 146 quad-jets with the Brazilian twin, scheduled for delivery from August next year through November 2007. The $470 million contract also includes options for another 12 airplanes.
GECAS plans to take the first of its 20 airplanes by the middle of next year. Paramount Airways plans to take the 170s directly from Embraer and lease the 175s from GECAS. Based in Coimbatore in southern India, Paramount supplants Jet Airways as Embraer's first Indian customer after that airline failed to act on an MOU it signed during the 2002 Farnborough Air Show.

Ever the expert in tuning programs for the Range Rover , Kahn Design still manages to build some unique packages, further illustrating just how good these guys are when it comes to working on the British SUV brand.
For their latest program, Kahn Design turned their attention towards the Range Rover Sport which they're calling the Capital City Edition. To keep with their fresh approach in tuning Range Rovers, Kahn Design fitted the Capital City Edition with an RS600 body kit that includes a new front lip, a new rear diffuser, a unique two-tone, tinted windows, smoked lights, and a white-and-red finish with a predominantly white color on the car. This is matched with a red bonnet or a striped red bonnet, and plenty of other red details on the car. In addition, Kahn Design also fitted the Range Rover Sport Capital City Edition with a new set of 22" RS600 wheels finished in matte grey with a red outer lip.
For the interior, Kahn Design will provide a black leather treatment with red accents. Add that to new components like a Kahn instrument binnacle, a new steering wheel, a quilted leather upholstery and aluminum accents and pedals, and you have an overall program that not only speaks to the awesomeness of the Range Rover Sport Capital City Edition, but to the level of expertise Kahn Design continues to exhibit.

What I can do with my waste?
I have an handmade ice cream industry (100%natural), that unfortunately produce a lot of waste each day... most of it are peel fruit...
Following I hope to change this and find a solution for my organic waste...
We already thought to sell the organic waste, like peel of lemon and orange to extract the essential oils... but at Portugal we didn't find any company that make it.. then we thought to compost it... and we can do it by our own... but and then?? we don't have field to used it...
I hope to hear soon good ideas to help me save the planet!!

Psychology Chapter 5 Vocabulary Action potential ? an excitation that travels along an axon at a constant strength, no matter how far it must travel Axon ? a single, long, thin, straight fiber that transmits information from a neuron to other neurons or to muscle cells Central nervous system ? the brain and the spinal cord Cerebellum ? a hindbrain structure that is active in the control of movement, especially for complex rapid motor skills and behaviors that require precise timing Cerebral cortex ? the outer surface of the forebrain Corpus callosum ? a large set of axons connecting the left and right hemispheres of the cerebral cortex and thus enabling the two hemispheres to communicate with each other Dendrite ? one of the widely branching structures of a neuron that receive transmissions from other neurons Dopamine ? a neurotransmitter that promotes activity levels and facilitates movement EEG ? a device that uses electrodes on the scalp to record rapid changes in brain electrical activity Frontal lobe ? a portion of each cerebral hemisphere at the anterior pole, with sections that control movement and certain aspects of memory Hemisphere ? the left or right half of the brain; each hemisphere is responsible for sensation and motor control on the opposite side of the body Neuron ? a cell of the nervous system that receives information and transmits it to other cells by conducting electrochemical impulses Neurotransmitter ? a chemical that is stored in the terminal of an axon that, when released, activates receptors of other neurons Occipital lobe ? the rear portion of each cerebral hemisphere, critical for vision Parietal lobe ? a portion of each cerebral hemisphere; the main receiving area for the sense of touch and for the awareness of one?s own body and perception of location of the body in space Postsynaptic neuron ? a neuron on the receiving end of a synapse Resting potential ? electrical polarization that ordinarily occurs across the membrane of an axon that is not undergoing an action potential Stem cells ? undifferentiated cells Synapse ? the specialized junction between one neuron and another? at this point one neuron releases a neurotransmitter, which either excites of inhibits the next neuron Temporal lobe ? a portion of each cerebral hemisphere; the main processing area for hearing, complex aspects of vision, and certain aspects of emotional behavior Thalamus ? a forebrain area that relays information to the cerebral cortex Study Questions 1. What are the parts of a neuron? Cell body, dendrites, myelin sheath, axon, terminal branches of axon 3. How does the action potential work? Like a standard light switch with ?on? or ?off? 5. What does a neuron do at a synapse? Release a chemical that either excites or inhibits the next neutron 9. What hypothesis does the drug L-dopa for Parkinson?s disease support? The link between the transmitter and the disease 10. Why does using Ritalin for ADD muddle the hypothesis that unusual behavior is due to an excess or deficit of synaptic activity? Most people with ADD do not have abnormal dopamine releasers and receptors and many people with abnormal releasers and receptors 11. Why should psychologists care about the brain and effects of brain damage? To distinguish between people who act strangely because of bad experiences and people who have brain disorders, also, studying the brain helps us explain the organization of behavior 13. What happens to people with occipital lobe damage? People with damage here have cortical blindness (no conscious vision, no object recognition, and no visual imagery 14. What is the effect of extensive damage to the parietal region? People can?t decipher where objects are relative to their body, impairs sensation from corresponding part of the body 15. What area is damaged in and what happens in Wernicke?s aphasia? Temporal lobe in the left hemisphere; people have trouble remembering the names of objects and understanding speech, speech is hard to understand, and resort to made up expressions 16. What is the effect of damage to the amygdale? Memory and reaction of emotions is effected and could be lost 17. What is the only sensory information that goes directly to the cerebral cortex? Olfaction (smell) 21. What are the two parts of the autonomic nervous system? Sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system 25. What are some ways the right hemisphere is different from the left hemisphere? Right does not speak, but it understands language especially short words and grammar, does the understanding of emotional content of speech, better for recognizing and understanding facial expressions 27. What is the evidence for the notion that some people are right brained (creative) and left brained (logical)?

Just a few days before the official launch of his reelection campaign, President Obama gave a speech centering around issues that matter most to women and moms yesterday-- and CafeMom was there to cover it.
"Women are not a special interest group," he told a rapt group of several hundred women at the National Issues Conference, hosted by the Democratic National Committee. He went on to say that women comprise 80% of his own household (his mother-in-law moved in to the White House along with the Obamas) and said that both in his personal and public life, "I've got a vested interest in making sure women do well."
See how Mr. Obama is backing up that claim after the jump.
Mr. Obama peppered his remarks with personal anecdotes about his family, including his own mother, who was a single mom and for a time used food stamps to feed her family. He also talked about how tough the work/home balance has been for his wife, Michelle, and spoke about how his daughters have inspired him in his role as President.
As a father, the highlight of my day is asking my daughters about theirs. Their hopes and their futures are what drive me every day I step into the Oval Office. Every decision I make is all about making sure they and all our daughters and all our sons grow up in a country that gives them the chance to be anything they set their minds to; a country where more doors are open to them than were ever open to us.
He went on to highlight his achievements in education reform, health care reform, and ensuring that women earn the same as men, by signing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law. "As long as I'm president, we are going to keep moving forward," he said. "You can count on that. You don't have to take my word on it – you've got my signature on it."
Mr. Obama also warned that Republicans are working to undo the advances made in women's issues over the last several decades:
And now we've got governors and legislatures across the river in Virginia, up the road in Pennsylvania and all across the country saying that women can't be trusted to make your own decisions. They're pushing and passing bills forcing women to get ultrasounds, even if they don't want one. And if you don't like it, the governor of Pennsylvania said you can "close your eyes." When it comes to what's going on out there, you're not going to close your eyes. Women across America aren't closing their eyes. As long as I'm President, I won't either.
Women's matters should remain in the spotlight as we head toward November. A recent Quinnipiac poll shows Obama is leading Mitt Romney among women, 49 percent to 39 percent. Expect Romney to continue trying to bridge that gap in the coming months.
In the meantime, what do you think about Mr. Obama's remarks? Is he the best advocate for women?
Image via TruthTeam2012/Twitter
"In the meantime, what do you think about Mr. Obama's remarks? Is he the best advocate for women?"
Ofand the two running, Obama is the ONLY legitimate advocate for women. Even if you ignore Romney's church's stance on single mothers and domestic abuse, you're left with his waffling and nebulous positions on Lilly Ledbetter and contraception.
Oops. Nix the extra "and" in my first sentence.
" Rampant misogyny in the White House"
Do you have any evidence of this, because that sounds vague are rather unsubstantiated.
Fact: women earn less than men in the obama administration.
Also: White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said this: "Obama White House fits "all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women"". & Economic Adviser Christina Roehmer said she: "felt like a piece of meat," after being excluded from a meeting with the president attended by fellow economic advisor and Harvard University professor Larry Summers. DeeDee Myers, Bill Clinton's Press Secretary said that the obama Administration didn't "seem to have enough . . . [women] inside of their own inner circle." In addition, several senior female aides complained directly to the president that men enjoyed greater access to him and often muscled them out of key policy discussions. #DemsWarOnWomen
jkm89: "Uhh, what do rising costs of utilities, groceries, and gasoline have to do with this so called democratic war on women?"
Uhh, do you run a household? Surely you're a member of one? Are you in charge of the household budget, or otherwise take part in the budgeting process and/or budget decisions?
Obama's the one that said his policies would "necessarily cause our fuel costs to skyrocket". His Energy Secretary Stephen Chu said the Administration needed to find a way to "boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe". Joe Biden said people asked if we have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt, then said "The answer is yes, that's what I'm telling you."
jkm, perhaps you live a place (or maybe you're a "one-percenter" so money doesn't matter?) where Democrat policies are not adversely affecting you. Millions of other Americans will testify that their lives are being affected every day, and not in a good way. They're pinching pennies, driving less, canceling vacations, doing with less, putting off purchases & college, etc. This is certainly true of my friends, family, neighbors.
Lora Heulitt: "@ texas mama, I would expect nothing less than Fox talking points from a person that lives in a state that has elected that idiot perry for three terms. there was a reason his politics were laughed off the national stage"
Well, I must be clairovoyant, Lora, since I don't watch anything but cooking shows on t.v. -- LOL!
Are you able to deny or otherwise rebut any of the quotes I provided above? They were all spoken by current or former members of Democrat Administrations.
As you point out, Republican Rick Perry has never worked in the White House, so how is he relevant to this discussion? Or are you just trying to attack me, personally?
[If so, don't worry -- I'm used to this tactic; it's frequently employed by Leftists/Obama supporters because they normally don't have facts to back up their assertions/positions and they can't point to Obama's miserable record. So you guys launch personal attacks, erect smoke-screens, and try to change the subject or otherwise deflect from the issue at hand. Your post is an Alinsky-perfect illustration of this -- congrats!]

Retractable Screen Doors
Roll Up Screens - The Better Alternative
Everyone knows that a screen door is great for making your home feel cooler and more pleasant in the summer, without the danger of bugs and animals waltzing in. However, one big problem with a conventional screen door is that when you're not using it, it's still there. That means opening and closing two doors every time you enter or exit the house. If you're tired of seeing your screen door when it's not needed, consider roll up screens as a better option. They're easy to install and use, and perform all the functions of a regular screen door, but they roll or fold out of the way when not in use.
Since retractable screens roll up when they're not needed, they're a useful and convenient alternative to an ordinary screen door. It's easy to install these inexpensive doors - they can be put up by a single person with a saw and a screwdriver in most cases. If it's not warm enough to use the screen, just roll it up inside its low profile casing. Some screens fold as they retract, allowing them to take up even less space when you don't need them. For people who don't have the space for a full screen door to swing, but who'd like to have all the advantages of one, this is probably the best solution.
Remember that these doors don't just have to be installed the way we usually use a screen door. You can also make use of roll up screens inside your home. For instance, you can use one to block off an area, keeping pets out. They make good dividers for areas that you'd like to block off, but which aren't suitable for a normal door. For instance, people with attached garages can install a retracting screen between the house and the garage, so the area feels less closed off and has free airflow.
It's important to measure your door before buying a roll up screen. That's because the screen has to exactly fit your door frame. Otherwise, you could have a gap where the screen isn't able to cover. Talk to the manufacturer or distributor to find out which measurements are needed, and to get more information about installation if you're curious. A retracting screen might be the right solution for your home, if you're tired of dealing with a more conventional door that's always in the way. Retracting screens are attractive and minimally intrusive, but extremely useful.

Ultimate Fighting Championship officials on Thursday announced a welterweight match-up between Josh Koscheck and Tyron Woodley for the UFC 167: St-Pierre vs. Hendricks fight card. The event is slated for Nov. 16 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Koscheck (17-7) heads into this fight in a position he's never been before, coming off of back-to-back losses.
More MMA
One of the original The Ultimate Fighter cast members, Koscheck's Octagon debut dates back to 2005. Now, eight years and 22 fights later, he's fighting to remain relevant in the UFC welterweight division's title picture.
After a split decision loss to Johny Hendricks and following that up with a TKO loss to Robbie Lawler, Koscheck needs a victory more than ever.
Woodley (11-2), although far less known that Koscheck, is no easy opponent to face when trying to right the ship.
Though Woodley has gone 1-2 in his last three fights, he rocketed to an undefeated 10-0 to start his career. He holds victories over the likes of former Strikeforce champion Tarec Saffiedine, Paul Daley, Jordan Mein, and Jay Hieron.
Koscheck vs. Woodley will be part of the supporting cast for the headlining bout between UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and No. 1 contender Johny Hendricks.

Kosh doesn't just need to win, he needs to win decisively
Woodley got ripped off his last fight. If could have only pushed it a little bit more. I don't know Koscheck might have this with his conditioning. I like Woodley a lot though. Should be a good fight.
Should be a good fight. A lot of people are probably sleeping on Kos since it's been a while since he's won but his last 2 losses are against tough guys. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw him come back with a dominating performance. This one could go either way though. Looking forward to it.
I hope Josh wins in impressive fashion.. I dident like him at first but in the past few years i have become a big fan.
Two great wrestlers = Stand-up battle!

PHOENIX (AP) - A Chandler business owner has been sentenced to more than four years in federal prison for bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Federal prosecutors say 61-year-old Gjergj Kol Mihilli, of Gilbert, received a 51-month prison term and also was ordered to pay more than $302,000 after pleading guilty in the case.
They say Mihilli owned and operated the Mama Mia Panaderia store in Chandler.
Between May 2010 and June 2011, authorities say Mihilli engaged in a check-kiting type scheme by creating thousands of fraudulent money orders for deposit into the company's business account.
Prosecutors say Mihilli used the names of Hollywood celebrities, politicians and professional sports figures on the money orders.
He allegedly created and deposited about 10,000 fake money orders with an aggregate value of more than $10 million.

Body Confidence Tips from Olympic Weight Lifter Sarah Robles
Written on August 1, 2012 at 10:27 am , by Christie Griffin
"Faster, Higher, Stronger." "Faster, Higher, Sarah Robles." Because if you want a synonym for "stronger," look no farther than the 23 year-old U.S. weightlifter.
It's not just that she's technically the strongest woman in our country—Robles will compete for her place on the international podium on August 5th—but it's the other challenges that have shown the world just how mentally tough this girl is. In the weeks leading up the Games, many of us learned about her financial struggles…and were thrilled to see the online community cheer her on.
But no amount of money, medals, or media attention changes the fact that the 5'10", 275-pound, 23 year-old has had to overcome a few body issues. On behalf of every woman in America, I'm just gonna go ahead and say that's where I think her most enduring, admirable strength truly lies. Here, a few questions and answers with the Olympian.
FITNESS: How did your life change when you began accepting your shape and body type?
SARAH ROBLES: My life changed for the better when I decided to be okay with who I am. I knew I wasn't going to change, nor really could do much about it anyway. I cared more about being the best athlete. It didn't matter what my body looked like, it mattered more to me how it performed.
FITNESS: What are your best confidence-boosting tips for other women?
SARAH ROBLES: First, stop caring about what other people think. They probably aren't thinking what you think they are, and most likely, you'll never see them again.
Next, surround yourself with positive people. Negativity is sticky. It sticks to you and is hard to get rid of. Once you do (find those positive people), you will feel clean, happy, and free!
Lastly, do things you really love or try new things. You never know what you can be good at unless you try. When you learn new skills or further develop the ones you have, you will be more confident.

Hot Topic Tuesday: Would You Broadcast Your Weight on Social Networks?
Written on April 17, 2012 at 1:40 pm , by Karla Walsh
Last week, BodyMedia (the company behind the activity-tracking armbands you may have seen in FITNESS and on Jillian Michaels) launched an interesting new feature that integrates with their products. You can now step on your Withings scale and have your weight automatically sent not only to your BodyMedia account, but also to your Facebook timeline. (Note: This is an optional feature.)
Most health goals, like a fitness bucket list or food log, have been for your eyes only in the past. But in our increasingly connected world, everything from last night's nutritious dinner (#twye) to triumphant race moments are published on blogs, Twitter and more. So perhaps this wireless, internet-compatible scale is just an extension of that—another way to share your progress or stay accountable.
Now tell us: Would a scale that shares your weights with "friends" inspire you to stay on track with your wellness goals? Or are all of the social media deets just TMI?

Waste Disposal and Integrated Waste Management
In 2006 Cornwall County Council entered into a 30 year Integrated Waste Management PFI Contract (IWMC) with SITA Cornwall Ltd for the management and disposal of Cornwall Council's municipal waste.
The IWMC was based upon the development of new and improved recycling facilities including Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs), Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), composting facilities, landfill development, Refuse Transfer Stations (RTS) and the design and construction of an Energy from Waste facility with combined heat and power.
HWRCs are locations where residents can deposit bulky waste, green waste and recycling. Currently there are 13 sites operating throughout Cornwall and the overall recycling rate currently stands at 62% of all materials delivered to the facilities. A Vehicle Permit system is in operation at these sites to reduce unauthorised use by traders. .
- Material Recovery Facilities
MRFs are located at Pool and Bodmin where dry recyclables collected from the kerbside are sorted and bulked before they are transported to recycling reprocessors. A waste education centre is also based at the Bodmin MRF where tours of the facility are conducted.
- Landfill
Cornwall Council's last remaining municipal landfill is located at Connon Bridge. This site will continue to be used until the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre (CERC) is completed in 2016. Thereafter, it will be used to landfill the small amounts of waste that cannot be processed by the CERC until planning permission for the site ends in 2018.
- Refuse Transfer Stations
At refuse transfer stations waste from local residents is collected and bulked up before being delivered to the end disposal point. These facilities exist at St Erth, Newquay, St Austell, Launceston and Pool.
A planning application for permission to construct an Energy from Waste facility with combined heat and power, at St Dennis was submitted in 2008. Following a lengthy legal battle, including a public inquiry, the Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Secretary of State and planning permission for this facility was gained in July 2012. Work on the development is split into 2 phases. Phase 1 includes the construction of a haul and access road and completed in August 2013. Phase 2 includes the building of the Energy from Waste facility, known as the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre and is due to start in September 2013.
Background on Integrated Waste Management
Cornwall's Waste Local Plan (WLP) was developed over a number of years and adopted in December 2002, after wide public consultation and a public inquiry at which the government inspector endorsed the Integrated Waste Management approach. In 1999, during the preparation of the WLP, independent consultants considered different possible scenarios for managing waste in future, using combinations of various management methods and technologies. Computer modelling was used to verify their findings. All aspects - including the likely amount of waste in 25 years' time, future recycling and composting levels, environmental impacts and transport, regulatory requirements and siting for necessary waste treatment facilities - were taken into account.
Integrated Waste Management (IWM)
Integrated waste management is a comprehensive system for managing waste which uses a number of different collection and treatment methods and technologies, according to which is most appropriate for which waste. It is a tailored approach, which places the emphasis on recycling and recovering value from waste wherever possible, and it enables us to protect the environment and conserve valuable resources, while generating a small income from sales of materials and energy to help offset some of the costs of dealing with waste safely.
Treatment options
Waste management companies bidding for the contract to manage Cornwall's waste were left to set out their own ideas of how those objectives could best be delivered. Only options, which were technically proven, environmentally sound and economically viable, were considered. Bidders were also informed that the mix of options had to include waste minimisation, recycling and composting activities and be designed to minimise the quantity of untreated waste being sent to landfill for disposal.
The procurement process was conducted according to strict EU rules following the Invitation to Negotiate process. The Council's bid evaluation team assessed bids received from the industry but elected Members of Cornwall County Council made the final decision on whether or not to enter into an IWM contract.

Integrated Waste Management Contract
Revised Project Agreement
The Integrated Waste Management Contract, signed in October 2006, included the requirement to obtain planning permission for the Energy from Waste facility by 30 March 2010. The failure to obtain planning permission prior to this longstop date gave Cornwall Council the contractual right to either terminate the IWM Contract or instruct Sita Cornwall Ltd to propose a draft revised project plan. Sita Cornwall Ltd was instructed to proceed with a revised plan and the restated Project Agreement was signed in March 2013. In order to mitigate against the increase in costs caused by the delay in obtaining planning permission, the contract has been extended until 31 August 2039.
A copy of this agreement can be obtained by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com and leaving your full name and address or by contacting the Refuse and Recycling Team at Cornwall Council.

Let's close the gap on Hilltop land purchase | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:
Speaking of Hilltop, as the election season concludes, one of Bainbridge's proudest accomplishments unites all islanders and is a longterm investment that will pay dividends for generations to come.
Hindsight is crystal clear that the efforts to negotiate conservation easements and help acquire open space by our Bainbridge Island Land Trust have yielded true island treasures.
It's been estimated that the island has about a 10-year window available to meaningfully add to this legacy. However there still exists a current challenge before more properties can be addressed and that is to finish the funding for the beautiful Hilltop corridor that joins the East and West Grand Forests.
The present gap is about $300,000, but a unique opportunity currently presents itself to substantially close that gap. An anonymous benefactor has offered a rare $75,000 matching challenge.
The Bainbridge Island Land Trust needs your contribution to meet that challenge. We urge you to consider putting a check in the mail today - BILT, PO Box 10144 - or contributing on-line. Thank you.

New face as environment minister in cabinet reshuffle
MCS welcomes the appointment today of Owen Paterson MP as the new Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Mr Paterson has served the conservative party before as a shadow environment minister, and has expressed his desire to see the Common Fisheries Policy reformed in favour of more localised management by fishing nations.
Mr Paterson assumes the role at a critical time, with a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a lasting legacy of marine stewardship. We look forward to a productive working relationship, building on his interest in Fishery Policy, and we'll be looking to him to place the protection of our marine environment - in particular the delay of the formal designation of 127 Marine Conservation Zones in the England - at the top of his department's priorities.
MCS Senior Policy Officer, Melissa Moore says, "We look forward to meeting Mr Paterson at the earliest opportunity to make sure the marine environment gets a better deal, and to find out his commitment level to environment matters beneath the waves".

Two new restaurants are planned for Legends at Sparks Marina. O'Cleary's, an Irish pub, and CBQ, a cowboy barbecue restaurant are planned to open this spring.
A Legends representative says the property signed a lease with Trifecta Management Group Tuesday to add the restaurants.
The side-by-side restaurants will occupy approximately 24,000 square feet, located on the second floor of the Legends tower. The restaurants will share outdoor space for dining, along with an outdoor bar. The Patio will have its own menu.
"Along with the new IMAX Theatre, O'Cleary's and CBQ will help deliver on the exciting 'dinner and a movie' promise for Sparks residents and visitors," said General Manager Dennis McGovern. "We're so pleased to start the new year on this bright note, as we continue to add new experiences to the attractions at Outlets at Sparks."
O'Cleary's will feature a gastropub style cuisine along with more than 50 craft beers, Irish whiskeys and other liquor. It also will have six bowling lanes, billiard tables and dartboards and big-screen TVs.
The family-friendly CBQ will offer barbecue from around the U.S. with live entertainment, from live music and karaoke to stand-up comedy.
The IMAX theater opened earlier this month, and last year added more than 55,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. Already slated for this year is nearly 90,000 square feet of new restaurant and retail space including the new IMAX theater.

Gas prices have been soaring nationwide for sometime now. As of March 2011, the national gas price average is $3.56 and rising. For many enthusiasts that may sound like the death knell for the cars they know and love. We can hear it now, "No more supercharged V8s, no more twin turbocharged V6s. Goodbye Mustangs, goodbye Corvettes." It really sounds like a bleak outlook for enthusiasts who live, breathe, and eat these cars (not literally, of course).
Luckily, that doesn't have to be our future. As many of you are already aware, many companies are making great strides to preserve performance cars for all of us. They're using new technologies to not only make sports and super cars faster, but they're using those same technologies to make them more fuel efficient, giving us hope that there will be no end to the fast cars that we love.
That's where we come in. We have come up with our list of the Top 10 Hybrid Sports and Super Cars that all utilize new technologies to make them faster, more fun, and more fuel-efficient. All of these cars are either on sale now, will be in the future, or will have their technologies transferred into production cars within the next few years.
Hit the jump to check out are list of top ten hybrid sports and super cars.
10. Honda CR-Z
The Honda CR-Z is the spiritual successor to the legendary CRX . The CRX was small, nimble, and relatively quick, and because it weighed next to nil, it got great gas mileage. Honda sought to follow up that success with what they dub a "Sport Hybrid." How does a car with only 122 HP and 128 lb/ft of torque get classified as a sport hybrid? Well, for starters the CR-Z is the first hybrid to come standard with a manual transmission– a six speed, no less. Also, the CR-Z's battery pack is mounted near to the ground in the chassis, giving it a low center of gravity. So while the CR-Z might not be fast (0-60 in 9 seconds), it is nimble and fun to drive, while getting 31 MPG City and 37 MPG Highway.
Gallery Honda CR-Z
9. Porsche Panamera S Hybrid
What can be said about the Porsche Panamera that hasn't already been said? It's a four door Porsche that sports somewhat polarizing looks and impressive performance numbers. Since the Panamera was released in 2009, it had been known mostly as a performance car though, not the sort of car that was capable of being environmentally friendly. Well that all changed this year when Porsche released the Panamera S Hybrid. The Panamera S Hybrid is powered by a supercharged 3.0L V6 and an electric motor, producing a combined 380 HP and a hustle from 0-60 in 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 167 MPH.
Gallery Porsche Panamera S Hybrid
8. Tesla Roadster
The Tesla Roadster was the first electric car that showed Americans that electricity really could be a viable fossil fuel alternative. Unlike the golf carts that cruised the streets of retirement villages in Florida, the Roadster could actually be operated on America's vast interstate system. Also unlike the golf carts that preceded it, the Roadster was a red-blooded sports car. Since the Roadster made its debut in 2008 its been vastly improved. In Sport form and with 295 lb/ft of torque available instantly, the Roadster can whiz its way to 60 MPH in 3.7 seconds (the standard Roadster does it in 3.9). The 288 HP Lotus Elise -based Roadster can then keep going to an electronically limited top speed of 125 MPH. The Roadster can do all of this and still have a range of 245 miles on a full charge (unless you're a notoriously lead-footed and loud-mouthed British journalist who only got 55 miles before his shut down).
Gallery Tesla Roadster 2.5
7. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell first appeared at this year's Detroit Auto Show in an electrifying shade of yellow. The SLS AMG E-Cell is Mercedes-Benz 's first foray into the world of performance battery electric vehicles. Heavily based on the 563 HP V8 SLS AMG , the E-Cell will put out 525 HP out of a high voltage lithium-ion battery. The instant torque afforded by the E-Cell's electric motor should also allow the E-Cell to hit 60 MPG in just 4 seconds. While Mercedes -Benz hasn't released the E-Cell's range or top speed yet, they have announced that the SLS AMG E-Cell will be going into production in late 2012 as a 2013 model.
Gallery Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell
6. BMW i8
The BMW i8 is set to be the flagship of BMW's "i" eco-sub brand when it's finally released in 2013. Based on the Vision EfficientDynamics concept, the i8 will be an all wheel drive, plug-in hybrid powered by a 3-cylinder diesel that is expected to produce around 400 HP when combined with its two electric motors. 0-60 is supposed to happen within 4 seconds and top speed in the i8 is rumored to be limited to 155 MPH. As for fuel economy, the i8 is rumored to get a combined 58 MPG on the European cycle.
Gallery BMW i8
5. Audi e-tron Spyder
Revealed at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, the Audi e-tron Spyder is Audi's fourth e-tron concept and the first to be a plug-in hybrid. The e-tron Spyder is powered by a twin turbo 3-liter V6 diesel, as well as two electric motors putting out a total combined 388 HP. The e-tron Spyder can reportedly dash to 60 MPH in 4.4 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 155 MPH. Audi also says that the e-tron Spyder has an electric only range of 31 miles and will get 106 MPG on the EPA's test cycle– which if true, would be quite an impressive accomplishment.

4. Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid
Coming in at number four on our list of the Top Ten Hybrid Sports and Super Cars, is a car that really is neither but still deserves its place on this list due to its accomplishments. The Porsche 911 GT3 Hybrid is a Porsche 911 racecar that Porsche has been using to develop their hybrid technology under the pressures of a racing environment. In fact, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid has already seen its racing debut at the Nürburgring, no less. The 911 GT3 R Hybrid is powered by Porsche's 480 HP Flat-6 which powers the rear wheels, and by two 80 HP electric motors that drive the front wheels, making the total output 640 HP. The thing that makes the 911 GT3 R Hybrid really special is that while it's a hybrid, it has no batteries. Instead of batteries, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid uses a flywheel that stores built up kinetic energy so it can be called upon at will by the driver.
3. Ferrari 599 Hy-Kers
The Ferrari 599 Hy-Kers is a Ferrari concept that first made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show last year. It features lightweight batteries that are built flat into the 599 's floor and it also features an electric motor that's developed by Ferrari's F1 team. This flywheel adds 100 HP to the 599's 611 horsepower V12. This new electric motor, according to Ferrari , will allow the 599 Hy-Kers to deliver better fuel economy in the city where most high performance cars suffer, while also boosting its performance while it's on the track. Ferrari says that technology from the 599 Hy-Kers could make it into its road cars as early as 2012.
2. Jaguar C-X75
Coming in at number two on our list of the Top Ten Hybrid Sports and Super Cars is one cool cat, the Jaguar C-X75 Concept. While not slated for production, the C-X75 is simply revolutionary, and thus deserves the number two slot on our list. The C-X75 is a plug-in hybrid, powered by four electric motors, one at each wheel. The batteries for those electric motors are powered by two mini turbines that run on diesel, but are also designed to run on just about any combustible liquid– even alcohol. The combined six power plants of the C-X75 produce 780 HP and an astonishing 1,180 ft/lb of torque, pushing the C-X75 to 60 MPH in 3.3 seconds. Jaguar also says that the C-X75 is capable of a 68 mile range on battery power alone, and a frankly impressive range of 559 miles after that.
Gallery Jaguar C-X75
1. Porsche 918 Spyder
Alas, the moment you've all been waiting for. Number one on our list of Top Ten Sports and Super Cars is the $845,000 Porsche 918 Spyder. First unveiled at last year's Geneva Auto Show, the 918 Spyder is set for limited production and will make its debut in 2013. The 918 Spyder uses a lot of the technology that Porsche previously developed in its 911 GT3 R Hybrid, like its flywheel that can store excess kinetic energy and than be used as a boost function. When the production version debuts in 2013, the 918 Spyder will be powered by a 500 HP V8 and two electric motors, one in the front and one in the rear. The combined output of the engine and two motors is said to be in excess of 718 HP, with 60 MPH coming in 3.1 seconds and top speed estimated around 198 MPH. Porsche says that the Spyder can do all of this while getting 78 MPG combined on the Euro cycle. Impressed? We are, and that's why the Porsche 918 Spyder comes in at number one on our list of the Top 10 Hybrid Sports and Super Cars.
