I don't know what time it is — but it's late. My bloodshot eyes stare angry holes into the darkness. I want to sleep, but I can't. Every 15 minutes a loud diesel truck pulls up in front of my apartment complex, and then quickly drives away. This happens again and again. The rumble of the heavy diesel engine smacks away at my skull like a holy ruler on blaspheming knuckles. It's relentless.

This is one of the busiest sports weekends of the year so there is a lot to cover in today's blog so let's get started.
You would have to be living on the planet Mars not to know the Super Bowl is Sunday. Between CBS, ESPN, and the NFL Network, every aspect imaginable of the game has been covered in great detail and they are just getting started. There have even been at least two shows that I know of on how to have the perfect Super Bowl party. Personally, I'm only interested in the game itself which I think will be an excellent matchup between two very well coached teams. I expect a very physical game with the Ravens and 49ers defenses both on a roll during the playoffs. There are many intriguing storylines going into the game and those will be covered in detail over the next couple of days so let's just stick with the basics: I predict the 49ers by 7, 24 to 17.
I am not an advocate of anyone taking performance enhancing drugs but in the case of the Missouri Tigers men's basketball team they might want to consider it. The Tigers looked lethargic and basically uninterested against LSU on Wednesday night and lost a game they could easily have won. As I stated earlier the Tigers are in the midst of a stretch of games against the weaker teams in the SEC and they needed to win all of them. Later this month things get a lot tougher and Mizzou is going to have to get something figured out quick or their once promising season is going to go down in flames. It is almost as if Missouri peaked too early and we are now seeing the team we should have seen earlier in the season when they were trying to find their way instead of the polished unit we were seeing earlier this season. Missouri has a chance to get back on the winning track on Saturday as Auburn comes to Mizzou Arena in a game that Missouri must win and win impressively. Right now the Missouri Tigers are not playing basketball even close to the level they are capable of and that simply must change and change immediately.
After having a week off to rest up and breathe a little bit both Truman State basketball teams return to the court on Saturday as they travel to Bolivar to play Southwest Baptist. The Truman State women's basketball team finally received some of the recognition they deserve as they are ranked in the top 25 for the first time in many years. Hopefully both Truman State teams can pick up big road victories in what will most likely be their last trip to Bolivar for a long time.
The Kirksville High School boys basketball team continues their tour of the Midwest as they have a game in Hannibal on Friday night and a game in Centerville on Saturday night. The Tigers will be trying to rebound from the tough loss at home against Booneville earlier in the week.
The KHS girls basketball team has the weekend off after another impressive road victory against Hannibal on Thursday night.
The KHS wrestling team wrapped up the regular season on Thursday night with a victory over a tough Booneville squad. The KHS wrestlers now turn their attention to preparing for districts next weekend.
Over 300 youngsters invade Kirksville on Saturday as the annual kids club wrestling tournament takes place. Having attended the tournament as a spectator sever times it is always a fun atmosphere and many of the young wrestlers there will go on to be future champions. It is an excellent opportunity to get out and see some outstanding competition from these young athletes.
We'll be back on Monday with a review of this weekend's sports action and I'm sure a word or two about the Super Bowl. Thanks as always for taking the time to read this blog and please do the same for all the other blogs on this site.
Have a terrific weekend!

Greece Population: 10,773,253727 VISITORS FROM HERE!
« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|Greece achieved independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1830. During the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, it gradually added neighboring islands and territories, most with Greek-speaking populations. In World War II, Greece was first invaded by Italy (1940) and subsequently occupied by Germany (1941-44); fighting endured in a protracted civil war between supporters of the king and other anti-communist and communist rebels. Following the latter's defeat in 1949, Greece joined NATO in 1952. In 1967, a group of military officers seized power, establishing a military dictatorship that suspended many political liberties and forced the king to flee the country. In 1974 following the collapse of the dictatorship, democratic elections and a referendum created a parliamentary republic and abolished the monarchy. In 1981, Greece joined the EC (now the EU); it became the 12th member of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in 2001. Greece has suffered a severe economic crisis since late 2009, due to nearly a decade of chronic overspending and structural rigidities. Since 2010, Greece has entered three bailout agreements with the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB), the IMF, and with the third, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). The Greek Government agreed to its current, $96 billion bailout in August 2015, which will conclude in August 2018.

Greece has a capitalist economy with a public sector accounting for about 40% of GDP and with per capita GDP about two-thirds that of the leading euro-zone economies. Tourism provides 18% of GDP. Immigrants make up nearly one-fifth of the work force, mainly in agricultural and unskilled jobs. Greece is a major beneficiary of EU aid, equal to about 3.3% of annual GDP. The Greek economy averaged growth of about 4% per year between 2003 and 2007, but the economy went into recession in 2009 as a result of the world financial crisis, tightening credit conditions, and Athens' failure to address a growing budget deficit. By 2013 the economy had contracted 26%, compared with the pre-crisis level of 2007. Greece met the EU's Growth and Stability Pact budget deficit criterion of no more than 3% of GDP in 2007-08, but violated it in 2009, with the deficit reaching 15% of GDP. Deteriorating public finances, inaccurate and misreported statistics, and consistent underperformance on reforms prompted major credit rating agencies to downgrade Greece's international debt rating in late 2009 and led the country into a financial crisis. Under intense pressure from the EU and international market participants, the government accepted a bailout program that called on Athens to cut government spending, decrease tax evasion, overhaul the civil-service, health-care, and pension systems, and reform the labor and product markets. Austerity measures reduced the deficit to 3% in 2015. Successive Greek governments, however, failed to push through many of the most unpopular reforms in the face of widespread political opposition, including from the country's powerful labor unions and the general public. In April 2010, a leading credit agency assigned Greek debt its lowest possible credit rating, and in May 2010, the International Monetary Fund and euro-zone governments provided Greece emergency short- and medium-term loans worth $147 billion so that the country could make debt repayments to creditors. In exchange for the largest bailout ever assembled, the government announced combined spending cuts and tax increases totaling $40 billion over three years, on top of the tough austerity measures already taken. Greece, however, struggled to meet the targets set by the EU and the IMF, especially after Eurostat - the EU's statistical office - revised upward Greece's deficit and debt numbers for 2009 and 2010. European leaders and the IMF agreed in October 2011 to provide Athens a second bailout package of $169 billion. The second deal called for holders of Greek government bonds to write down a significant portion of their holdings to try to alleviate Greece's government debt burden. However, Greek banks, saddled with a significant portion of sovereign debt, were adversely affected by the write down and $60 billion of the second bailout package was set aside to ensure the banking system was adequately capitalized. In exchange for the second bailout, Greece promised to step up efforts to increase tax collection, to reduce the size of government, and to rein in health spending. These austerity measures were designed to generate $7.8 billion in savings during 2013-15, but in fact prolonged Greece's economic recession and depressed tax revenues. In 2014, the Greek economy began to turn the corner on the recession. Greece achieved three significant milestones: balancing the budget - not including debt repayments; issuing government debt in financial markets for the first time since 2010; and generating 0.7% GDP growth — the first economic expansion since 2007. Despite the nascent recovery, widespread discontent with austerity measures helped propel the far-left Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) party into government in national legislative elections in January 2015. Between January and July 2015, frustrations between the SYRIZA-led government and Greece's EU and IMF creditors over the implementation of bailout measures and disbursement of funds led the Greek government to run up significant arrears to suppliers and Greek banks to rely on emergency lending, and also called into question Greece's future in the euro zone. To stave off a collapse of the banking system, Greece imposed capital controls in June 2015 shortly before rattling international financial markets by becoming the first developed nation to miss a loan payment to the IMF. Unable to reach an agreement with creditors, Prime Minister Alexios TSIPRAS held a nationwide referendum on 5 July on whether to accept the terms of Greece's bailout, campaigning for the ultimately successful "no" vote. The TSIPRAS government subsequently agreed, however, to a new $96 billion bailout in order to avert Greece's exit from the monetary bloc. On 20 August, Greece signed its third bailout which allowed it to cover significant debt payments to its EU and IMF creditors and ensure the banking sector retained access to emergency liquidity. The TSIPRAS government — which retook office on 20 September after calling new elections in late August — successfully secured disbursal of two delayed tranches of bailout funds. Despite the economic turmoil, Greek GDP did not contract as sharply as feared, with official source estimates of a -0.2% contraction in 2015, boosted in part by a strong tourist season.

|Settled by Norwegian and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th centuries A.D., Iceland boasts the world's oldest functioning legislative assembly, the Althingi, established in 930. Independent for over 300 years, Iceland was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark. Fallout from the Askja volcano of 1875 devastated the Icelandic economy and caused widespread famine. Over the next quarter century, 20% of the island's population emigrated, mostly to Canada and the US. Denmark granted limited home rule in 1874 and complete independence in 1944. The second half of the 20th century saw substantial economic growth driven primarily by the fishing industry. The economy diversified greatly after the country joined the European Economic Area in 1994, but Iceland was especially hard hit by the global financial crisis in the years following 2008. Literacy, longevity, and social cohesion are first rate by world standards.

Iceland's Scandinavian-type social-market economy combines a capitalist structure and free-market principles with an extensive welfare system. Except for a brief period during the 2008 crisis, Iceland has achieved high growth, low unemployment, and a remarkably even distribution of income. The economy depends heavily on the fishing industry, which provides 40% of merchandise export earnings, more than 12% of GDP, and employs nearly 5% of the work force. It remains sensitive to declining fish stocks as well as to fluctuations in world prices for its main exports: fish and fish products, aluminum, and ferrosilicon. Since 2010, tourism has become the main pillar of Icelandic economic growth, with the number of tourists expected to reach or exceed 4.5 times the Icelandic population in 2016. Iceland's economy has been diversifying into manufacturing and service industries in the last decade, particularly within the fields of tourism, software production, and biotechnology. In fall 2013, the Icelandic Government approved a joint application by Icelandic, Chinese, and Norwegian energy firms to conduct oil exploration off Iceland's northeast coast, although no exploration has yet taken place. Abundant geothermal and hydropower sources have attracted substantial foreign investment in the aluminum sector, boosted economic growth, and sparked some interest from high-tech firms looking to establish data centers using cheap green energy, although the financial crisis has put several investment projects on hold. Following the privatization of the banking sector in the early 2000s, domestic banks expanded aggressively in foreign markets, and consumers and businesses borrowed heavily in foreign currencies. Worsening global financial conditions throughout 2008 resulted in a sharp depreciation of the krona vis-a-vis other major currencies. The foreign exposure of Icelandic banks, whose loans and other assets totaled more than 10 times the country's GDP, became unsustainable. Iceland's three largest banks collapsed in late 2008. The country secured over $10 billion in loans from the IMF and other countries to stabilize its currency and financial sector, and to back government guarantees for foreign deposits in Icelandic banks. GDP fell 6.8% in 2009, and unemployment peaked at 9.4% in February 2009. Three new banks were established to take over the domestic assets of the collapsed banks. Two of them have majority ownership by the State, which intends to re-privatize them. Since the collapse of Iceland's financial sector, government economic priorities have included stabilizing the krona, implementing capital controls, reducing Iceland's high budget deficit, containing inflation, addressing high household debt, restructuring the financial sector, and diversifying the economy. Iceland's financial woes prompted an initial increase in public support to join the EU and the euro zone, with accession negotiations beginning in July 2010, but negotiations were suspended under the 2013 center-right government. Most macroeconomic indicators and employment have rebounded to pre-crisis levels, driven primarily by the unprecedented growth in tourism – averaging over 20% annually – following the well publicized volcanic eruption in 2010.

Idoit40fans wrote:The Pens got better relative to the rest of the league because Crosby played most of the season. It wasn't because of changes the front office made.
That's my point. Slight downgrades in the middle of the depth chart aren't going to directly correlate to points lost in the standings, because it's still a strong roster relative to the league. Staal's career year was off the team even as Malkin's dominant year and missing Crosby were canceled out by Crosby's dominant year and subpar Malkin, but their GPG was identical. Michalek's minutes went to Niskanen and Eaton and they were better defensively because they (eventually) committed to playing better defensively. It's not just player in +, player out -.

Just because they aren't porn stars doesn't mean they don't know what they are doing, and it certainly doesn't mean they can't make incredibly sexy videos. At SpankWire.com, we have dozens of free XXX videos featuring the hottest amateur lovers from all over the world getting it on. We have everything from hot college babes experimenting with each other to hot wives banging their husbands or younger men. It is a turn on for these people to be filmed in the carnal acts; for many of them it's their first time, and they absolutely love it. Probably a lot of them had no idea their steamy videos would end up online; their loss is our gain! Some of them get off knowing that we are watching, and they love to squeeze their luscious big boobs on camera and show off their hot bodies. Everyone acts different on camera, and when these people make their sex tapes they do things they would not do if the camera wasn't rolling. They pull out all the stops trying to impress whoever is watching, and we know you are ready and willing to be impressed!

As a business owner, you're no stranger to hard work. You've invested time and money in order to grow your operation to what it is today. You play an important role in your community, and your employees depend on you. All the more reason to make sure it's protected.
Is your business insurance keeping up with your needs?
Changes That Can Effect a Business Insurance Policy
Life doesn't stand still, and neither should your business insurance. Markets change, businesses grow, and your insurance should reflect that. Even seemingly minor changes can have a significant impact on your coverage. Do any of these questions sound familiar?
Has your business substantially increased its workforce?
Has your business significantly decreased its size, revenue, or staff?
Is senior management within 5 to 10 years of retirement?
Have you changed locations, expanded your current one or acquired another location?
Has equipment been purchased or new machinery installed?
Has your business grown to include new states where you operate?
Does the business use social media or have a website strategy?
If you can answer "yes" to any of the above, it's time to contact your agent. He or she can help you navigate what these changes mean for your coverage and can help ensure you're protected from the unexpected. Below are some examples of common changes you'll probably encounter, and what you can do to ensure that your insurance is meeting the needs of your operation!
A Growing Employee Base
An increasing workforce is a great thing, but it also means it's time to take a good look at your insurance. You want to protect both yourself and one of your most valuable assets – your employees. If you haven't done so already, you need to have a discussion with your agent about coverages such as:
Employment Practices Liability
You're forced to lay off an employee, only to find they turn around and file an age discrimination suit. This isn't true, so you assume that it will come to nothing—then "nothing" becomes $20,000 in legal costs. Wrongful termination, discrimination or harassment aren't the kinds of scenarios you want to worry about. But if the worst happens, does your insurance have your back?
Workers Compensation
One of your employees is preparing your latest shipment. As they begin taping the box, they cut their finger badly enough that they need medical attention. Workers compensation laws can require you to pay certain benefits for employees who are injured or become ill on the job. Does your coverage include workers compensation? I might be time to make sure it does.
Retiring Senior Management
If anyone at a senior management level is retiring, including yourself, you'll need to have some form of business succession plan in place. It's not just for your peace of mind; if your employees know what to expect, it's easier on them as well. Uncertainty created by a power vacuum can create discord. With a business succession plan, you remove many of the doubts that could create issues for you or your employees down the road. But it's important to touch base with your agent well before you even get into the planning phases. By planning ahead, you and your agent can help make sure your transition is a smooth one. Are you prepared?
Learn more about the importance of a business succession plan here.
New Machinery and Equipment
Any new equipment is going to need additional protection. If your refrigeration system shorts out and the food inside spoils, you're left with both a huge mess and a potentially huge loss. Plus, time is money. An interruption to your business can cost you big time. Options like Equipment Breakdown Enhancement coverage can cover the mechanical breakdown of air conditioning units or systems, refrigeration systems and electrical systems, and can help protect you in the event of business interruption losses. Does your insurance include this extra layer of protection?
Sensitive Information
Social Security numbers, birth dates, drivers' license numbers, credit card information and public health information are just some of the valuable data customers entrust businesses with. What would happen if your laptop was stolen, and with it a wealth of sensitive information? Data Breach coverage can help reimburse the costs of investigating the cause of the breach, help you notify affected individuals, and can help provide public relations services to help offset damage to your brand. In this day and age it pays to make sure your business is protected, both in terms of bricks and mortar as well as cyberspace.
The Power of SuperCheck®
Are you unsure of what changes "count" and which ones don't? Are there any hidden gaps in your insurance? Banish uncertainty and protect your livelihood with the power of a SuperCheck. Connect with a Farm Bureau agent to learn more about this free annual service. Because when it comes to insurance enough is enough – until it isn't.

Re: ChessCube V6.29 Changelog
dennyhan wrote:I don't agree with babasaheb either. I think in Chesscube people with VIP are served as kings, while us "underdogs" are restricted a lot. For one, i disagree with the new "discount" rule. People with VIP will only lose a bit of cubits while the normals will sprial down to 0. It is unfair for the non-VIPs. Also, VIPs not only get 25XP more, but do they get double that! They can reach the XP VIP extensions faster, and thus extending their thone time. The underdogs has to spend a lot of time at Chesscube to reach 100Lv. I have been in Chesscube for about 3 years now, but i still am 85Lv. Also, i disagree with the VIP's tournaments. They must be open for everyone, not for only the kings. And about the low cubit thing, i do enter tournament just for the daily bonuses myself, and probably for nearly all the Non VIPs as well. I even changed my account once, too. I also disagree with the game price too. I won with white as a non VIP, and guess what i got? -4 cubits. This is definately not a reward. It is like going up to a begger and taking his money. I say that Chesscube must be for chess, not money, and the VIPs. It must be a site of freedom to play chess, not for the higher people. Wasn't it for freedom to start off with? Did Chesscube grew greed? If Chesscube is not fair, I have been betrayed by my most-trusted website
i agree with you
