MILLERSBURG -- The last time West Holmes was in the football playoffs was 2000. That year, fullback Nolan Mackey established himself as a record-setting runner, setting records for most points in a season (144), rushing attempts (228), rushing yards (1,646) and rushing touchdowns (23).
Fast forward to 2012.
All those records that Mackey set have been or will be broken by junior fullback Layne Perone.
"Records are meant to be broken," Mackey said after seeing a few more of his marks fall last week. "That's how I saw it when I was on my way toward breaking them. It's just a number for people to strive for and break.
"What I'm more pleased about is seeing West Holmes football is finally back," he continued. "It's been years since they were this competitive. It's been exciting watching Layne. He's a good runner."
The 9-1 Knights of 2012, who will host Wintersville Indian Creek (9-1) in a Div. III first-round playoff game Saturday, are a very similar team to the West Holmes team that Mackey led 12 years ago.
Current West Holmes coach Kevin Maltarich employs the same basic offense that his father, Bob, used when he guided the Knights back in their heyday at the turn of the century.
"We only had two running plays: a buck trap straight up the middle or a dive off tackle," Mackey said. "The fullback is supposed to be a hard-nosed runner, and the Maltarich offense likes the fullback.
If you're going to play that position, you better be a good runner. And Layne sure is a good runner."
And, like the Knights of old, Perone benefits from having other capable running backs working alongside him to keep teams from keying on him alone.
Back in 2000, it was Rod Taylor running with Mackey.
"Coach (Bob) Maltarich always said that Rod and Nolan complemented each other well," Mackey said. "I was up the middle and Rod was around the end. Teams couldn't stop both of us. If they stopped one thing, then the other would work really well."
The Knights of 2012 feature the power of Perone, but also have the luxury of several speedy backs who can make things happen on the outside.
"It's hard to stop that offense, especially when you have horses like Layne running up through there," Mackey said.
West Holmes has rushed for more than 3,300 yards as a team this season, led by Perone's 1,603 yards on 223 carries.
The complementary backs to take some of the pressure off Perone include Garrett Mackey (no relation to Nolan), Grant Hay and Luke Ogi.
Garrett Mackey has amassed 705 yards and has run for seven touchdowns. Hay has run for 445 yards and six touchdowns, while Ogi added 288 yards and a couple of scores.
Mackey said it's good to see there's still a Mackey running hard in the West Holmes backfield.
Garrett is no relation that he is aware of, but his nephew, Brandon Mackey, was a four-year starter at running back for West Holmes a few years back. He set the record for most rushing yards in a game (266) in 2009.
Nolan Mackey was on the West Holmes coaching staff for four years and he saw Perone coming up through the program.
"I knew he was pretty good when he was a freshman coming up," the former fullback said. "We all knew he was good. He runs hard, that's for sure."
Mackey was blessed with great speed to go along with his hard-charging running style.
"I was fast, so when I did break through the line, I could get moving towards the end zone."
That style has helped Perone rush for 27 touchdowns this season, eclipsing Mackey's mark of 23.
Perone says that he doesn't really care about records, except for wins.
"Records are good, but as long as my team's winning, that's my main goal," Perone said.
His coach has enjoyed riding him through this record-setting season.
"Layne is a tremendous back who can hit it up in there," Kevin Maltarich said. "He breaks tackles left and right, and he's got a good burst of speed. Layne's pretty good when he's healthy."
Perone suffered a sprained ankle against Madison in the fourth game of the season and was limited the next few weeks to just playing offense, instead of doing double duty as linebacker.
The injury hasn't slowed him down. Nor have many West Holmes opponents.

A Tramway or a gasworks consists of two things: the actual plant, and the nominal capital which represents its value.
I bought these gasworks and I own them, and I am satisfied to go on owning them.
The corporation owns the water supply, public baths and wash-houses and the gasworks.
Gabriel felt humiliated by the failure of his irony and by the evocation of this figure from the dead, a boy in the gasworks.
The price of them gasworks, accordin' to the latest quotations, was sixty thousand—but liable to advance without notice.
The gasworks came in 1834, and about that date my father's three houses must have been built convenient for the London Road.
The waterworks were stopped, and the city was left in darkness by the submergence of the gasworks.
We take over his "enterprise," his gasworks and waterworks, his docks and trams, his railways and mines.
In 1869 the corporation acquired the gasworks, the productive capacity 85 of which exceeds 70 million cub.
Something very simple, as was soon learned; the gasworks had just blown up.

El Saadawi to speak on "Politics, Women, and Democracy" October
in Stoney Brook to be Given a Lift at Mount Holyoke
House to be Moved October 19
Clinic on Hold
Week at MHC
Kenneth L. Williamson
Professor Emeritus of Chemistry
On Tuesday, October 19 the oldest house in South Hadley will
be moved down Route 116 from 40 Woodbridge Street to 28 Woodbridge
Street, the 1788 home of Ruggles Woodbridge. His home, Sycamores,
was a Mount Holyoke dormitory from 1915 to 1970. Each year 14
students, predominantly sophomores, and a housemother lived there,
attended by a maid and a cook. Of the nearly 800 students who
lived there many come back at reunion times to seek out their
rooms and relive their days in Sycamores. The house is set to
be moved at 10 am with work finishing at 1 pm.
In the early eighteenth century it was a long and difficult eight
miles to church in Hadley, especially in winter, so the families
on this side of the Notch petitioned the legislature for permission
to establish a new town, South Hadley. This they were allowed
to do if they met three conditions: build a meetinghouse, now
Woodbridge's restaurant on the common, hire a minister,
and build him a house. The meetinghouse was built in 1732 and
the new minister, Grindall Rawson, was hired. His house was built
by the parishioners in 1733 and is the house being moved.
But Grindall was too conservative for the liberal people of
South Hadley. After a few years the church members asked
him to resign,
but he refused. This impasse was finally resolved on Sunday,
October 3, 1741, when a group of 15 men literally carried Grindall
Rawson from the pulpit as he was reciting a prayer and expelled
him from the church. He and his family continued to live in
South Hadley for a short time until he was called by the
church in
Hadlyme, Connecticut, where he served for many years and where
he is buried.
The Rawson House was originally located on the property where
Sycamores now stands, 28 Woodbridge Street. But at some time,
perhaps in the late eighteenth century, it was moved about a quarter of
a mile up the street and attached to the back of a house at 40
Woodbridge Street built in 1787. Joseph A. Skinner, of Skinner
Hall and Skinner Green fame, bought that house in the 1920s, and Mount
Holyoke purchased it in 1948 in order to provide housing for
faculty and staff. The Rawson House ell was one of three apartments.
Joseph Brodsky, Mount Holyoke's only Nobel laureate, was
living there when he won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1979.
Recently Mrs. Kay Bernon, chairman of the board of trustees
at the adjacent Berkshire Hills Music Academy, bought the
She decided that the Rawson House ell was surplus to her needs
and generously donated it to the Sycamores Committee of the
South Hadley Historical. The committee accepted her gift
and arranged
to have it moved back to the same property from which it came
about two centuries ago.
The 20-foot by 40-foot Rawson House, with its low ceilings,
hand-hewn beams and wide pine floors, is typical of New England
houses of
the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. One of the
fireplaces is equipped with a beehive oven for baking and
both have large
swinging cranes to support the cast iron pots of the day. There
is the possibility that this building might have served as
the kitchen for Sycamores at one time, because there are
no large
fireplaces in that house.
The major timbers of the house were analyzed recently by Bill
Flynt of Historic Deerfield using dendrochronology and found
to date from 1732, with a few from 1712.
Rawson House was renovated in the 1920s by Joseph Skinner.
Before he purchased the little church from the town of Prescott
(now at the bottom of Quabbin Reservoir) and converted it into
the Skinner Museum across the street, Skinner kept his collections
in Rawson House.
Rawson House will provide two large meeting rooms with working
fireplaces for the Historical Society. A kitchen in the first
floor of the nineteenth-century red ell of Sycamores will serve
for catered events. Rawson House will be attached to Sycamores
so that its second floor and the second floor of the ell can
be converted into a two-bedroom apartment, providing security
and income for Sycamores.

text: Posted April 13, 2010 correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't matt moore behind josh mccown in the depth chart last year? has there ever been another time a quarterback has went from the 3rd string to starter in one year and had success? i'm not well versed in nfl history. i could see how a qb could be promoted like that if the 2nd string qb was really old and about to retire anyway, but mccown was relatively young. if moore is really as good as we all hope, how could he have been overlooked by our coaches? if he has a lot of success this year, i think this would be the biggest oversight since steve smith was on the bench in 2001.

Semifreddo is a frozen dessert that is somewhere between a mousse and an ice cream, made with a flavored base of whipped cream and egg white meringue. It is lighter in texture than ice cream and requires no churning, just some time in the freezer to set up. I like it because it is easy to make, it looks very elegant and it melts quickly ...

Gay rights advocates in Alabama sue for right to marriage licenses
By Jonathan Kaminsky
(Reuters) - A U.S. judge in Alabama said on Tuesday she will hear arguments later this week on whether to force a local judge to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, a day after officials in most of the state refused to do so in defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Lawyers for same-sex couples unable to obtain marriage licenses in Mobile County filed separate legal challenges against the county's probate court judge late on Monday, part of a series of events echoing the civil rights struggle of the 1950s and 1960s.
Mobile County was the most populous of the 42 of Alabama's 67 counties that continued to refuse to provide marriage licenses to gay couples on Tuesday, advocates said, down from 52 counties a day earlier.
U.S. District Court Judge Callie Granade, a President George W. Bush appointee who struck down the state's ban on gay marriage as unconstitutional in a ruling that took effect on Monday, scheduled a hearing for Thursday.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a strong signal in favor of gay marriage, refused on Monday to grant a request by Alabama's Republican attorney general to keep the weddings on hold until the high court decides later this year whether laws banning gay matrimony violate the U.S. Constitution.
But Roy Moore, the conservative chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, ordered state judges to defy Granade's ruling and uphold the state's gay marriage ban.
Moore, who was removed from office in 2003 after refusing a federal order to take down a Ten Commandments monument he had erected in the state's judicial building before being returned to his post by voters in 2012, has in fighting gay marriage used legal arguments and rhetoric that recall Southern resistance to racial integration.
In a recent letter to Alabama Governor Robert Bentley on the subject of gay marriage, Moore both advocated for asserting states' rights and decried federal "judicial tyranny." Continued...

Tonight I CoWashed with the 2 conditioners I bought today.
## My first use of Giovanni is not spectacular. The conditioner smells like orange hand cleaner you find at an auto mechanic shop sink. The consistency is not as thick as I would have liked for that price. I think it has proteins because I it turns white like toothpaste after a while of detangling with a wide tooth comb.
## TRESemmé Naturals is THE BOMB =) I was completely satisfied with the product performance and the smell is unbelievable. If they wanted to charge $30 for that conditioner instead of $5 they would have every right and I'd gladly pay. I'm looking forward to my next cowash because that product made it an experience and not just a task. If you love extremely thick and creamy conditioner then look no further. You would think they were paying me to write this but I assure you of every word I said about this product.
I'm always buying new conditioners so I can't say I won't look beyond this one but I know I can always trust it especially since it is cone-free.
Now I just need to see if TRESemmé has a cone-free leave-in conditioner that's hydrating and smells just like the naturals conditioner.

All Flash Slot Machines load in no time and are completely free for you to have fun with. It's now your turn to spin and win!
Go to more Slot Games >
It's the end of the year and we have prepared a nice list of Best 10 Free Slots of 2015. Before to start, we would like to share with you some informations on how this list has been redacted and what to we really mean when we say Best Free Slots. First of all, this type of slot games are the same you can find in any online casino. They usually offer a demo or play for fun version, but most of the times it's mandatory to complete a form with all your personal information. We don't ask any of those, we just bring all of the best games completely free, with no registration, no deposit and no download.
We have analysed the whole year, and found out that out of over 500 Free Slots released this year, there is a small group which overperformed the others. What this exactly means is that still having all the same visibility and chances to be chosen by visitors of Slots-777.com, based on engagement and number of sessions, there are definitely 10 Free Slots who can be awarded the title of Best Free Online Slot to play. Let's begin!
All that determines your fate at a slot machine is one number. The percentage payout and this is what registers and controls the percentage of return to players in winnings when playing online slots. The purpose of this article is to explore the inside ways in which the payout percentages are calculated. Whether they can be calculated manually, what initiates them to pay out and what they actually mean in regards to our bankrolls plus other common questions.
Simply put a payout is the percentage of return on winnings, in other terms it's an amount each player can receive in winnings when playing a certain game. 97% payout on a single slot machine online will give you back in winnings 97% of gross bets. It also goes without saying that you can average a 3% loss unless you hit a Jackpot.
If up to now you have only experienced the classic fruit machines in a live casino by the time you have read this you will open up a vast number of new opportunities. Most classic slot emulators are lacking of bonus features but if they do they are likely to be pretty basic like nudges or the almost useless spin stops feature.
Technology however has advanced so much since the time of basic three-reelers, offering blinking lights and little more. Many software houses are developing highly engaging games, combining refined gameplay with excellent graphics, sounds and bonus rounds. Free bonus slot games are indeed very popular now and read on to find out all about them. Slots-777.com offers an amazing array of free online slots bonuses you do not need to register to play. Simply click play and submerge yourself straight into any game you choose.
Progressive slots are amongst favorites of any players, offering larger jackpots and in some circumstances life changing sums of money. Any player of slots has more than likely wished at one time or another that they would win their Big One! But, you should stop and think before deciding to play slots as chances of getting struck by lightning are definitely higher than having a big win! That said it doesn't mean you shouldn't play because those very lucky ones winning might as well enjoy the money for the rest of their lifetime.
Whilst you may not have a high probability of hitting one of large jackpots, you might play slots merely for the pure pleasure that they give. With realistic expectations slots will offer you a lot of fun. Only a few progressive slots stand out as luckier than others, but before these are looked into with more detail, here are the basics of slot games.
For those willing to play best slots online at their own computer, online slot machines have loads to offer. Usually you can either enjoy the practice mode free play option or digg into the real money option. Slots-777.com brings you all the fun of free slots and best offers to play Real money slots with free bonuses only on the very best online casinos.

Lindsay Lohan brings Hollywood buzz to Paris fashion
By Sophie Hardach
PARIS (Reuters Life!) - Lindsay Lohan lived up to her reputation as Hollywood's party girl with a debut collection for Parisian fashion house Emanuel Ungaro on Sunday, showing super-short pink dresses and blazers worn over bare skin.
Dressed in a white mini dress and red stiletto heels, the actress sparked a paparazzi frenzy at the Louvre museum where the show was held, creating exactly the kind of buzz executives at Ungaro had been hoping for.
Fashion critics, however, looked aghast at Lohan's bra tops and stripper-inspired nipple pasties.
"We both love fashion, the different aspects, different generations, different styles from around the world, we like to mix everything up," Lohan told reporters backstage in a joint interview with Ungaro designer Estrella Archs.
The thigh-skimming dresses in peach, hot pink and white seemed designed for a Malibu Beach party, while sparkling nipple pasties flashing from underneath loose blazers were a reminder of Lohan's own occasional wardrobe mishaps.
"It's not good to show your nipples so they should be covered," Lohan told Reuters, referring to the heart-shaped pasties.
But her appearance was also a reminder of the risks faced by luxury brands who tie their image to that of a celebrity.
When reporters asked her about her love of scandal, Lohan frowned and snapped: "That's an unnecessary question." Continued...

Is my menstrual somehow thrown off because I didnt' do any form of fertility treatments this month?

The only answer is to react immediately and violently...too bad the manager didn't have his own weapon.
Now the taxpayers have to deal with this BG some other time...but with luck, some GG will 'end' this vicious criminal's future...permanently!

Pavlik opens up
By Antonio Castro
WBC/WBO Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik (35-1, 31 KO's) held an open workout for the media and the public earlier this week at the Southside Boxing Club in Youngstown, Ohio as he prepared for his third title defense against WBC #3/WBO # 12 ranked middleweight Miguel Espino (20-2-1, 9 KO's). The championship bout will take place on Saturday from the Beasley Center, located on the campus of Youngstown State University. Along with working out, Pavlik also was made available to talk about numerous topics, ranging from his upcoming opponent, to the fallout of his previous opponent, Paul Williams.
The hot topic surrounding Pavlik around boxing circles is that he never wanted to fight Paul Williams, especially after the fight with Espino was scheduled two weeks after the fight with Williams was postponed. Pavlik took a lot of time to set the record straight on what happened.
"We were supposed to fight Paul Williams on December 5th. The hand still wasn't 100%. We asked him for another month to get ready, but he still took the fight (with Martinez) on December 5th. We weren't looking to fight until the end of January or early February, and then the next thing you know, the WBO and the WBC said, Kelly you guys have to fight. You have to, or we're stripping you of your title on the 19th. Usually we go eight weeks for a training camp. Now, it's only five weeks," Pavlik explained.
Unfortunately for boxing fans, Pavlik doesn't have a lot of faith in the Williams matchup ever materializing again.
"It probably will never happen. He likes to walk around saying he's the most feared fighter in boxing. We tried to fight him over and over. I ended up fighting Bernard Hopkins when I was supposed to fight Paul Williams. This time, I signed the contract to fight Paul Williams almost a month before he signed the contract. Then I had to push the fight back. I had proof from doctors. Now his camp is saying that I'll never take the fight with him, or I'll never give them a chance," Pavlik stated.
The Champion, however, still feels that it would be in Williams best interest to take the fight.
"Here's a kid who went from making 1.5 million dollars in Atlantic City at the Boardwalk Hall in front of maybe 10,000 people against me, but he took the fight with Martinez to fight in a ballroom for a million dollars less than what he would have made against me. So that goes to show you, Paul Williams needs me after this fight, I don't need Paul Williams. I want the fight. That's the best fight in the middleweight division right now," said Pavlik.
As for the fight that Pavlik is preparing for now, don't expect Pavlik to take Espino for granted.
"He's got a lot of heart. He's in great shape, but he has a lot of flaws. He gets hit a lot. He seems like he's got a good chin. I've seen him take some good punches. He's the type of guy where you've got to be 100% ready when you fight him," suggested Pavlik.
With the hand just getting back to normal, Pavlik is still taking a chance. He knows this. Pavlik opened up about his hand and those that never believed there was a problem with it.
"I'm just being honest about the staff infection in my hand. I don't think that a doctor that works at the Cleveland Clinic making about $900,000 a year is going to lie about a staph infection and take a chance on losing his career. People that say that my hand wasn't that bad are imbeciles. They're derelicts," said Pavlik.
After sparring eight rounds, Pavlik said his hand felt great, after saying it was a little tender on Sunday. He's cramping an eight week camp into five weeks, and he's also dealing with some questioning his heart for the first time in his career. On the 19th, Pavlik will look to take out his frustrations on Espino.
Will he be able to put all the distractions aside and take out an opponent that he should have no problem in defeating? Is the hand back normal? Those questions and more will be answered.

Look at your local school district, either it works like a well-oiled machine or it putters along almost out of gas. This efficiency or inefficiency is the result of one person, the school superintendent. A school superintendent oversees the working of an entire school district. For a school district to run efficiently, a school superintendent must possess certain qualities and experience.
Job Requirements
School superintendents hold an advanced degree from an accredited college or university. Most candidates possess a bachelor's degree in education and a master's degree in school administration. Some school districts require candidates to possess a doctoral degree. Check with the school district before applying for a job. Candidates must hold a valid superintendent certificate or license issued from the state. School districts prefer candidates with experience in public education, both in the classroom and as a supervisor or administrator.
Personal Qualities
Besides a strong educational background and experience, school superintendents should possess impeccable personal qualities. While these may not be questions on a job application, these types of questions and beliefs surface during an interview. School superintendents hold a strong belief that all students can learn, respect staff members and support teachers. They are visionaries for creating state of the art school districts, creative thinkers and understanding of cultures and beliefs. Most of all school superintendents are honest, trustworthy, transparent and committed to success.
When thinking about becoming a school superintendent, be aware that superintendents don't have three months off for summer vacation. They work a full calendar year. Another consideration is that due to the high pressure and importance of their job, superintendents often check-in or work with their office on holidays and vacations. School superintendents are the district's representative to the community. They are model citizens and maintain good public relations with the community.
School superintendents perform several duties in their position. They supervise school district employees and evaluate principals and district administrative staff. Most importantly, they operate the school district in accordance with state law and State Board of Education policies. This function is essential for the school district to maintain accreditation, offering students the best opportunities to learn. School superintendents are like the Chief Executive Officer of the school district, making recommendations and alternatives to the school board. A superintendent oversees facilities management, financial management, directs community relations efforts and staff management.
Expert Insight
School superintendents should be adept and flexible administrators. They work with parents, the school board, educational foundations, teachers and other administrators to provide the best education for the district's students. Most school districts require the superintendent to live within the school district's boundaries. They receive typical health benefits such as medical and dental and paid time off. School superintendents do not have tenure or union protection. Often, superintendent's are given one to three year contracts, depending on the school district. The school board evaluates the superintendent's performance yearly and has the ability to terminate their contract.

Posted: 1:17 PM- WASHINGTON - A Texas congresswoman wants the House Armed Services Committee to look into a federal contract awarded to a company linked to the polygamous sect raided earlier this month and under fire for alleged child abuse.
Rep. Kay Granger, a Republican from Fort Worth, wrote to committee chairman Ike Skelton and ranking GOP member Duncan Hunter asking for a hearing to look at the vetting process for Department of Defense contracts after news surfaced that one worth $1.2 million was awarded to New Era Manufacturing, a company formerly based in Hildale, Utah.
Granger says that according to news reports, the company is affiliated with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the "same church sect" raided by Texas authorities after allegations of physical abuse.
"As a Member of Congress, I am concerned that federal tax dollars may have been misused to fund this sect's illegal activities," Granger wrote in a letter earlier this month.
New Era Manufacturing was formerly called Western Precision, which moved from Utah to Nevada, and which the Fort Worth Star Telegram reported employed FLDS followers at little or no pay. The company supplies wheel and brake components for military aircraft.
"While religious affiliation should certainly not be a determining factor, [the Department of Defense] has a responsibility to closely scrutinize any company under consideration before contracts are awarded," Granger said. "I am concerned that such scrutiny did not occur in this case, and that funds from this company may have been used to support the FLDS church's activities."
The committee has not yet responded to Granger's request.

Anyone who has been following the DSPlayer thread may have noticed that I extoled the virtues of external playback via mpc-hc. One or two there asked for details of how I accomplished it and here it is. This config will give full dxva playback, subtitles without breaking dxva, chapter support and FLAC with WASAPI support and bitstreaming of DD/DTS, though if you follow the link at the end of this post the author claims that this will also playback HD Audio codecs - can't comment as I don't have the relevant hardware to test.
I have been tinkering for sometime with both native and DSPlayer dxva implementations. However it got to the stage where I was tinkering/troubleshooting more than watching. Thinking about it and pondering the problem (under severe pressure from SWMBO) I decided to look at using an external player for playback. Some searching later I came across a thread by another member of the community (Background) who gave me the inspiration and xmlcoding to accomplish external player playback - thanks.
System: Vista x86, Phenom 9650 Quad Core, ATI HD4670, 2 GB-DDR, Catalyst 10.2 drivers,
I have no experience of XP or Win7 applications, therefore cannot comment on their suitability to work with the following.
xbmc r28256 OR LATER (latest from nightly builds, though I haven't tested it, the instructions should work with earlier builds)
Note - If using x64/xp/Win7 builds change references to file names accordingly.
Create the following file (use notepad and save to .xml formats) and place in the folder as indicated below.
filename is the location of your mpc-hc exe file.
C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="m2ts|ts|mkv" player="MPC-HC" />
Using an mce remote couldn't be simpler, mpc-hc is by and large set up to carry out the basic playback functions. The only thing I found that I had to add was a command to exit after stop and return to xbmc, just as if we were using the default DVDplayer.
Open up MPC and go to View -> Options. Under Player go to Keys. Here you will see a list of all the commands for MPC and what keys control. If you scroll to the right you will see the App Command column which shows if any Apps have been assigned to the respective command.
Right now we just want to focus on the basic commands which would be Play, Pause, Stop, Exit, Next (skip chapter forward) and Previous (skip chapter previous). By default you will see that MPC already has App Commands assigned to most of these commands, the only one that is missing is Exit. When I hit the stop button I want MPC to exit and go back into xbmc, so I assign the App Command MEDIA_STOP. (thanks to DBone at mediasmartserver.net for the info)
One other feature you might want enabled with MPC is the ability to resume where you left off. While still in the Options screen go to Miscellaneous and check "Remember DVD position" and "Remember File Position" (thanks for the tip thejulianath20).
However with this configuration you don't get asked whether you want to resume it just does automatically.
I am no expert I will try and help where I can, but these instructions have basically been put together from articles and postings found - not written - by me (I'm just lucky they work for me). Sorry for such a long post, just trying to cover most of the bases.
Here's a nice little guide that I found on how to set-up ffdshow and ReClock/WASAPI and madFLAC if so desired http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152520 - ignore the instruction about Vista users installing and registering the MPC-Audio Renderer - it isn't required.
Knowm limitations:-
- If using reclock and 2 or more audio tracks are available, warning message appears and xbmc loses focus and fullscreen command (fortunately I only have a few files like that, which I'm now about to remux to 1 audio track)
- Don't know how to switch subtitles from remote (only mouse action) - again not something I require as I remux all my discs to only the tracks I require and with subtitles it is only non-english speaking parts I require.
- Don't know how to switch subtitles from remote (only mouse action) - again not something I require as I remux all my discs to only the tracks I require and with subtitles it is only non-english speaking parts I require.

TRIWAY DISTRICT -- "Hold your breath for 30 seconds," Wooster Community Hospital respiratory therapist Jack Starkey directed juniors and seniors in an anatomy class at Triway High School.
"Keep going! Keep going! Keep going!" Starkey urged as the seconds ticked by.
The experiential lesson was the best way to illustrate the urgency of one of Starkey's most pressing tasks as a therapist -- properly inserting a ventilation tube into a patient in under 30 seconds.
"Most of you had a difficult time holding your breath for 30 seconds. You can imagine (what it's like) for someone already compromised lung-wise," Starkey pointed out, making the operational standard "under 30 seconds."
"It's hard, isn't it?" teacher Jennifer Farrar asked students as they, attempting to replicate Starkey's example, worked on inserting a tube into a dummy.
"I didn't really know what I was looking for," said senior Tessa Brooks. "I did not lift up the correct flap (epiglottis)," ending up with the tube in the esophagus instead of the trachea.
"Once I lifted up the flap, I could see the hole it was supposed to go in," said Kellen Crites, also a senior.
"It was quick," said junior Audrey Fry, to whom it was pointed out a career as a respiratory therapist might be warranted.
Bringing the "tools of his trade" to a science classroom at Triway High School, Starkey's goal was to emphasize to students studying anatomy just how important the nose and mouth really are and how dangerous it can be if "something is blocking the upper airway."
Starkey also distinguished the difference between respiration, the exchange of gases and ventilation, "the means by which we get the air into our lungs," he said.
While respiration is up to the patient, "I can ventilate for somebody all day long," he said.
Starkey, who said he works in cardiovascular, neurology and sleep medicine departments, said he can do that with something as simple as a mask.
"I put this over their nose and mouth," he demonstrated on the dummy.
But he often must establish an airway through intubation.
"The bigger the tube I can get in, the better," Starkey said. "The bigger the airway, the better it is for the patient.
"It's like breathing through a straw," he said.
Starkey also pointed out how the vocal chords "sit on top of the trachea."
"If you ever see a TV show," in which the patient is intubated, but talking, "that's impossible," he said. "Patients who have this cannot speak. As you can imagine, it's kind of a traumatic experience" and patients must often be "giv(en) something to calm them down.
"My No. 1 responsibility is a patient's airway," he said, which at times can mean "basic CPR."
When Starkey demonstrated all of the components of intubation on a dummy, one student said, "That looks so painful."
"We've been doing this (experiential learning at Triway High School) for several years," said Dave Rhoad, marketing and public relations manager at WCH.
The health professional called upon depends upon the unit being studied, said Rhoad, who has been the guinea pig for a procedural demonstration.
In the fall, "our tech wired me up for an (electroencephalogram)," he said. Students "watched my brain waves live" as he engaged in a variety of activities.
On another occasion, via an echocardiogram, "we actually saw a live picture of a student's heart.
"The hands-on (activities) help students really learn what they're hearing in a lecture," Rhoad said.
They may also serve to alert students to occupational options of which they had previously been unaware, Farrar said.
One of the best kinds of activities are the ones students get a chance to try, Farrar said. "It's nice the hospital has been so cooperative."

skylight and roof replacement and i and w shield
I'll be having a roof replaced of a family room extension. The shingles and paper will all be removed. Presently there is an old bubble type of skylight(very inefficient). We will be having a curb mounted Velux fixed skylight put on. I've narrowed it down to 2 estimates. here's the dilemma.
One roofer does the standard roofing tar paper, ice and water barrier around edges, flashing etc. But he says the ice and water barrier is overkill aroound the skylight. He says he uses only flashing. They've been around a long time.
The second roofer uses the more high tech ice and water barrier instead of the tar paper, and the ice and water shield around edges and skylight.
Any opinions/advice is greatly appreciated. this is my first roof replacement.
as long as the roofer guaranties his work you should be fine
velux has an installation method they want used tell each roofer that's how YOU want them installed
1 Attachment(s)
Recently, Velux changed it's mounting system on deck mount units and they now have a roll of peel & stick membrane included that must be used. So, if the 1st guy is using the roll included, but not other I&WS he'd be correct on the new models. If he were installing the old models (which there are still a lot of on the shelves) without providing some I&WS, he'd be wrong.
One of the reasons for using the I&WS is condensation on the inside of the metal flashing. I&WS sheds that when it occurs.
Seeyou is correct. The new units come with the I&W type membrane to put around the skylight. Overkill??? IMO, yes, most of the time, but why not, right?
I've never seen a Vellux that mounts like the picture shows though. Might be new. I haven't seen a new one of the skylights, just new flashing kits and they came with the I&W strip in rolls.
this is the curb mounted. The first guy insists he is old school. Is the high tech membrane instead of the tar paper worth it? The old guy who sold over said he used to put no tar paper and the roofs would last forever. I am so confused. R the new high tech ice and water shields over the whole roof so much better than the standard 15lb. tar paper. Must make decision soon?
New underlayments: IMHO, yes they are, but they are not ice and water shields.
i actually pulled one of these out when i did my roof. skylight was around 15yrs old and framed with 2x4s. what i noticed
none of the sheathing had any moisture damage since it was flashed properly, no iw shield
the 2x4 framing had moisture damage and was damp in places due to not being sealed around the skylight. they also did not use PT wood which i replaced it all with
so, if you buy new follow the directions as stated.
if it's used, iw wouldn't hurt at all but in my application it was not needed
waiting for 2nd. contractor's lowest price. He is the one that instals ice/water barrier whole roof and no tar paper, and uses the ice /wateer barrier around the skylight.
I heard the new membranes keep the roof cooler-that seems to be an advantage. More confused by the minute....................

1st, guy is 1 ply ice shield perimeter of roof, and 1 ply #15 felt the rest of the roof.
2nd. guy is steep slope ice and water barrier underlayment over complete roof deck, and low slope ice and water shield at all eaves and around skylight.
Both use nails
p.s. my Development requires the Certainteed Landmark shingle
I have used both installation methods, both work.
Roofer 1 is stuck in the "can't teach an old dog new tricks mode".
Roofer 2 is new school and selling what he/she was taught to sell.
The newer underlayments are not yet time tested, that doe's not mean they don't work, just means that the advantages they claim to add to the roofing system may or may not be factual.
Choose the roofer you feel most confident with, if it happens to be the old dog, tell him/her you want the ice guard around the sky lights as extra protection 'period'.
Thanks....2nd. guy is supposed to email his best price tomorrow or so.
There is a $370 difference as of right now, is the new tech whole roof ice and water barrier worth it??? Also #1 gives 10yr. labor warranty, #2 gives 5 years. #2 also supplies one sheet of 4X8, if needed. Please help. Thanks
they are both reviewed in checkbook.org, but I can't get into it.
I live in Ohio 'Mahoning County' and with the average snow falls/ice build up we deal with here the additional cost of the newer underlayments are hard to justify.
In an area that receives extreme winter conditions, the cost is easily justified.

ELECTION PREVIEW: Democrats Hart and Hoisington hoping to face off against Outman
Two Democrats are facing off in the primary election for a chance to unseat the 70th District state representative incumbent in the general election.
Ken Hart of Alma and James Hoisington of Stanton are vying for the Democratic win on Tuesday with the hope of besting current State Rep. Rick Outman, R-Six Lakes, in November.
The 70th District encompasses all of Montcalm County and part of Gratiot County.
Hart, 62, is a retired corrections officer who also describes himself as a successful lifetime salesman, selling "office equipment at 16 years old, insurance, real estate, cars and, of course, selling inmates to do what I would like, versus what they wanted to do," he said.
Hart says he has "just enough intelligence to have retained enough common sense." As a law man, the state's prison system is one of his primary concerns.
"My district has four prisons and I am concerned about the direction the Department of Corrections is headed," he said. "I am concerned about the safety of employees and citizens who live near those prisons."
Another area of concern for Hart is high taxes. He promises if elected he will not vote to raise taxes, but he wants to add a tax to campaign money so that it's taxed as a gratuity, just like the tip tax that minimum wage employees are "burdened with." He also wants to repeal the tax on senior citizen pensions.
"I believe if elected I can sell employers to come to Michigan," he said. "I also believe I can sell my ideas to the people in Lansing. We need to restructure the way we do business in Michigan and restructure every state agency. I also believe we can save our public school system. We, as legislators, need to start thinking outside the box and think about our future generations."
Hoisington, 56, is a special needs bus driver for the Montcalm Area Intermediate School District. He describes himself as having a passion for serving people and he was involved with local workers as a member of a task force working to keep Electrolux from leaving Greenville. One of his goals if elected is to establish a flat tax so everyone pays the same rate.
"I see a real need for government to work for the people and not push them down," he said. "People just can't seem to get ahead with gas prices jumping all over the price and the cost of living steadily increasing, all the while wages stay the same."
Hoisington has strong words for his Republican opponent, Outman.
"He has a total lack of respect for the people he serves," Hoisington said. "One area in particular is auto insurance. He and his party keep trying to place caps on benefits for those who suffer catastrophic injuries — through no fault of their own — when in fact the voters have spoken very clearly that isn't what they want."
Hoisington said Outman also promised he would not raise taxes — which Hoisington said Outman did not stand behind — while also supporting tax cuts for corporations.
"He has hinted that if re-elected he will support increasing the sales tax and who knows what else he will raise?" Hoisington said. "If Mr. Outman is re-elected, he may see that as an OK from voters to go ahead and increase more taxes on the middle class, seniors and low income earners, or at least take away more services they count on to survive."

Otherwise known as the driver's side dogbone holding the engine to the brace under the hood. The long one on the driver's side broke! Loud cracking sound. When the rubber in these things gets hogged out, the constant pounding back and forth will overstress them and they will break--they're just aluminum. I checked out the short one and it's hogged out too, so it's getting replaced also before it breaks. Not surprising at 216,000 miles but not something I'd routinely check.
While I was under the hood I noticed that the plastic that covers all the heating/air conditioning stuff up against the firewall was literally cracking into pieces with large gaps between the pieces. Just touching it caused more cracking. It's disintegrating! I used the handyman's cure-all for a temporary fix (I duct-taped it together--black Gorilla duct tape so it blends in better, but duct tape nevertheless). There are parts down between the firewall and the rear header that I can't reach. In any case, it all needs to be replaced. Can this be done without taking the engine out? Tolerances are kinda tight back there. Also, I've noticed since taping up the cracks that the A/C doesn't seem to switch between the dash vents and the defrost vents any more. It was doing that on a regular basis before. Strange.

Ever wonder how much money each chevy volt produced so far has cost taxpayers?
Tax incentives to force a car through government motors that people don't even want to buy...
Chevy Volt Costing Taxpayers Up to $250K Per Vehicle
By Tom Gantert | Dec. 21, 2011 Twitter Follow Tom Gantert on Twitter
Each Chevy Volt sold thus far may have as much as $250,000 in state and federal dollars in incentives behind it a total of $3 billion altogether, according to an analysis by James Hohman, assistant director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
Hohman looked at total state and federal assistance offered for the development and production of the Chevy Volt, General Motors plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. His analysis included 18 government deals that included loans, rebates, grants and tax credits. The amount of government assistance does not include the fact that General Motors is currently 26 percent owned by the federal government.
The Volt subsidies flow through multiple companies involed in production. The analysis includes adding up the amount of government subsidies via tax credits and direct funding for not only General Motors, but other companies supplying parts for the vehicle. For example, the Department of Energy awarded a $105.9 million grant to the GM Brownstown plant that assembles the batteries. The company was also awarded approximately $106 million for its Hamtramck assembly plant in state credits to retain jobs. The company that supplies the Volts batteries, Compact Power, was awarded up to $100 million in refundable battery credits (combination tax breaks and cash subsidies). These are among many of the subsidies and tax credits for the vehicle.
Its unlikely that all the companies involved in Volt production will ever receive all the $3 billion in incentives, Hohman said, because many of them are linked to meeting various employment and other milestones. But the analysis looks at the total value that has been offered to the Volt in different aspects of production from the assembly line to the dealerships to the battery manufacturers. Some tax credits and subsidies are offered for periods up to 20 years, though most have a much shorter time frame.
GM has estimated theyve sold 6,000 Volts so far. That would mean each of the 6,000 Volts sold would be subsidized between $50,000 and $250,000, depending on how many government subsidy milestones are realized.
If battery manufacturers awarded incentives to produce batteries the Volt may use are included in the analysis, the potential government subsidy per Volt increases to $256,824. For example, A123 Systems has received extensive state and federal support, and bid to be a supplier to the Volt, but the deal instead went to Compact Power. The $256,824 figure includes adding up the subsidies to both companies.
The $3 billion total subsidy figure includes $690.4 million offered by the state of Michigan and $2.3 billion in federal money. Thats enough to purchase 75,222 Volts with a sticker price of $39,828.
Additional state and local support provided to Volt suppliers was not included in the analysis, Hohman said, and could increase the level of government aid. For instance, the Volt is being assembled at the Poletown plant in Detroit/Hamtramck, which was built on land acquired by General Motors through eminent domain.
It just goes to show there are certain folks that will spend anything to get their vision of what people should do, said State Representative Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills. Its a glaring example of the failure of central planning trying to force citizens to purchase something they may not want. They should let the free market make those decisions.
This might be the most government-supported car since the Trabant, said Hohman, referring to the car produced by the former Communist state of East Germany.
According to GM CEO Dan Akerson, the average Volt owner makes $170,000 per year.

thats a pretty flawed statistic. Do you think every government funded dollar went towards the volt?
Do you have any idea how much design, developement and testing costs on any new product line, regardless if is the Volt or any other hybrid? The things learned from the Volt are used across numerous product lines, and witll continue to be used on GM product lines in the future.

What we have learned from the Volt is that people don't want it.

I keep repeating myself in these threads, but I'll repeat it again for you and everyone else that doesn't pay attention to anything else outside of the rhetoric that comes from the press:
Check out some reading on the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) requirements that are imposed.
If you look closely, there is no possible way we will meet future CO2 regulations (directly related to fuel economy) WITHOUT hybridization of some kind. The Volt, as a platform, offers great opportunity to further develop key technologies to meet the targets.
Battery design, technology, integration, safety, motor controls, advanced I.C.E. technology - all will benefit future production vehicles. Hell yes it is heavily subsidized! Without aid, manufacturers wouldn't be able to develop this technology entirely on their own. The public doesn't want it, however, the same public wants clean air and independence from foreign oil.
This is the direction industry is taking. Trust Bones and I when we say it isn't some weird conspiracy or handouts given freely. Steps have to be taken to get to that level of fuel economy, and the government in chipping in. BE HAPPY they are subsidizing the development.
How would you like it if there was an extra $5K tacked on to every car sold to cover the research?

My belief is that if you were to ask Joe-consumer where he wants his subsidized money spent, he would rather it be in the Keystone pipeline and North American development of oil processing. Same with CAFE standards. I don't believe Joe-public agrees with this either.

It doesn't matter how many different ways we figure out how to suck oil out of the earth its a finite resource. SOMEDAY it will be gone. It might not be in my life time, but it could be. No matter how little we sip on it someday that bucket will go empty. We would be stupid to ignore that.
The problem is the people in this country will contently go along for the next however many years driving gas hogs that get 10mpg while we exhaust every last drop of it then be like, "Wtf man, why didn't someone do something about this?" If you need any confirmation of how that could be possible reference the housing crisis...

Another problem with the whole American drilling, pipeline, and processing thing is no one ever wants that in their back yard. So where do we do all of this at?
Do you want to look out your back window at a refinery? Or drive by an oil rig on Lake St. Clair? Or scoop oil sludge off your beach when some retard has an oopsie because no one has been doing their job making sure everything was up to snuff on that oil rig?
I'm far from a green person. But things need to be done responsibly and lately we have shown that does't seem to happen.

Not true at all, we want the 22mpg 6000# 4x4 one ton trucks that we had in 1991.
We want those trucks further refined with better efficiency to get another three miles to the gallon. Three billion dollars would do this with ease.
How about factory port and polish head jobs on all factory engines? That would put thousands of people to work in a skilled trade, and create better efficiency.
Also, we have no idea if oil is a finite resource. We do know that most existing trucks will run on natural gas if needed, and the practices used to create a more efficient diesel or gas engine are directly correlated to natural gas.
Like electricity, many homes already have natural gas running to their homes. A charging station in your driveway would make the "hard to find" CNG not much of a problem anymore, at least for short trips like to work and back. This is one of the Volt's selling features. (Charging at home for short trips) A CNG truck could also be run on gasoline or diesel should you be out of range of your home fill station (same as the Volt).

So why did they quit with the last electric car. If this was for the greater good you'd like they would have contiuned . . . hmmm...
Oh yeah, Cruz eco gets almost the same milage for half the price. Why are we producing volts again?

Oh, you mean the accident that happened outside of our country, under other countries laws, working on a well that we demand they have running sooner and for less money?
The one that wouldn't have happened if it had been an American company working on American land?

Re: Bristol 35.5 Interior Dimensions
For anyone else interested, I was able to get some (approximate) measurements off of a 1980 Bristol 35.5. They are on the inside;
1) 6" 2" headroom throughout - Salon, v-berth, AND head
2) 19" doorway width - This is both the doorway to the v-berth, and the head
3) 20.5" width from port side settee cushion to edge of table
4) 12" wide space between navigation table and back cabin wall - Once squeezed in, you actually can sit back on the quarter berth
and on the outside;
5) 19" deck width along the cabin sides
6) 86" cockpit length
7) 55" cockpit width
Finally the generous cabin entry way measurements;
8) 36" tall by 26" wide by 21" long
Surprisingly spacious for a 35 footer. So I think it's worth considering her for even someone my size.
Anyone who's sailed a 35.5, please feel free to add your own experiences relative to its dimensions. I'm sure it will be helpful to all.
Bristol 35.5 Interior Dimensions
I think I have some sense of the interior dimensions of the Bristol 38.8, (it was actually a Wauquiez Hood 38), and while there were some spots inside, which were snug, overall I felt like the boat "fit me" fine. I'm now trying to get a sense for the interior dimensions of the 35.5. If you know, can you share the interior dimensions? Specifically;
1) Headroom throughout, (in the head and v-berth, as well as salon)
2) Passageway width for both head and v-berth
Lastly, I'm a big guy, (6'2" and like to have 20" wide doorways), and expect to be sailing with only me and my wife, but if you have any comments about how it felt to be inside the 35.5 saloon with 4 adults, or with, (ahem), larger framed, fellows like myself, I'd love to hear that too. (Was it like being trapped in a bear den with the bear? etc.)

Submitted to: World Cotton Research Conference Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 6/29/1998
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: In some areas of the USA where cotton is traditionally harvested with a spindle picker, there is widespread interest in producing cotton in narrow rows and harvesting with a stripper harvester. This study was conducted to determine the effects of residue management and nitrogen fertilization on cotton grown in 19-cm row widths. Similar experiments were conducted in Florence, SC, and Auburn, AL. Treatments at both locations were tillage system (chisel plowing plus disking vs. no-till), winter cover crops (cereal, legume, or none), and N fertilizer rates (0, 45, 90, 135 kg N/ha). The cereal cover crop was Avena strigosa at Florence and an Avena strigosa/Secale cereale mixture at Auburn. The legume cover crop was Pisum sativum at Florence and Lupinus albus at Auburn. Plant populations were approximately 290,000 plants/ha at Florence and 370,000 plants/ha at Auburn. Although tillage system had a small effect on most variables, the availability of N (either through fertilizer or cover crop) had the greatest impact on measured variables. At Florence, lint yield ranged from 670 to 1340 kg/ha in 1996 and 336 to 900 kg/ha in 1997. At Auburn, lint yield ranged from 660 to 1570 kg/ha in 1996 and 450 to 1140 kg/ha in 1997. At both locations, optimum N rate for cotton following either no cover crop or following the winter cereal was between 45 and 90 kg/ha, while there was little difference among the four N rates for the cotton grown after the legumes. As expected, yield was related to bolls per unit area. Plant morphological characteristics at harvest and fiber properties will be presented.

I died back in April. I finally got my wings, but at a young age. Mom says I was too young to die. I wonder if she was right? I think she was. But somehow, it was my time to leave. She loved me so much.
A lot of Catsters don't know I have gone to rainbow bridge, but that is because mom never got around to writing my story. She has only know begun to accept that I am gone and not coming back. She often mistakes her new kitten for me. I am proud to call this kitten Brock, my nephew.
I am proud of my mommy for trying to be strong. She couldn't cope with my loss. She still thinks about me and cries. I wish I could tell her not to cry. I am happy never to hurt again.
My mommy blames herself on what happened to me. I wish she wouldn't. It wasn't her fault.
You see, when I was a young kitten, around my nephew Brock's age, I had litter pan troubles. I learned to use it, but didn't find it as appealing as carpet. I know it wasn't right, but I don't know what came over me.
Well my mom's mommy told Amber to throw me out of the house for good. Amber protested, but in the end, this is what happened. I wasn't lonely, my dear sister Fluffy was an outside cat. So we often played together.
A few months went by and me and my sister stayed on the property with our mother, but when I reached 6 months old, I became more adventurous. I often saw my mother cross the big black path, as I called it. So I decided I would cross it too.
Fluffy begged me not to, but I wanted to. I stepped out onto the sunbaked path and felt the whoosh of air. I saw this big red machine spar at me. I panicked, and I ran for the other side of the path. But as I rushed forward, I felt a striken moment of pain, then darkness.
When I awoke, I found myself in a soft nest of clouds. I knew what had happened. My grandmother Basil was there. She told me all that had happened. She took me back to a earth viewing space in the clouds and showed me my grieving mother trying to get to my tattered body. My sister was yowling in grief. I felt so bad for not listening to my sister.
Then I saw my owner, my mommy, my amber...She cried so hard those nights. They buried my body close to home, but she was so heartbroken.
After a while I continued to watch my family. I even watch over my niece, who died when my sister gave birth to her. I have named her Ambrielle, in honor of my owner who still grieves for me.
We watch now all the members of my family...
Especially young Brock. I am proud to call him nephew.
Something in the clouds tells me he will close the rift of heartbreak my Amber still feels for me.
I guyz! I'm Fweddy Martin. I am a new addition to my famwee. My mommas named me Fwed because she thut I looked like a Fwedrik. I am currentwee learn' Engliz. I can't tip as well as my Fwiend FwyFwy, so I will wet her take ofer..
Hi Guys, Fly here writing as Fred!:
Wow, mommy had to leave today so me, Fluffy, and RJ are all only. Techniqually we all turn 6 1/2 weeks old today, so Pristine, Toes, and Tiny Star went to their homes. Toes and Tiny are together, they are with Grandma Gobie. They are probably going to be named Brad and Angie, For Brad and Angelina Jolie Pitt, becaus they are grandma's favourite actors/actresses!
My momma is going to buy me a new food! Either Orijen, Wellness, or Felidae. We are undecided still.
Fly: Uhh, Fred is falling asleep, so I'll end it here!

Sport long ago became a multi-billion dollar global industry, and with it the building of stadia to house the events.
Key drivers for stadium projects include major events such as the FIFA World Cup™ or the Olympics; professional franchises that want new facilities to drive revenues; localities that want to attract a team; national/local pride; and the belief that a new facility will increase tourism or regenerate a region. These factors have helped launch stadium projects in dozens of major cities worldwide.
Financing for such megaprojects varies. It may come from the team itself, perhaps in partnership with local government. In developing regions, the state may provide the money, or form a public-private partnership (PPP) for that purpose. The common US model, where the host municipality pays the costs through long-term bond issuance, hasn't caught on elsewhere.
When any new stadium is contemplated for a nonrecurring event such as the Olympics or the FIFA World Cup™, the question of legacy arises. After the event, what use will be made of the event space, and of the housing and ancillary structures built for the athletes? This issue has not always received adequate attention. The result can be a vast, multi-structure, uninhabited ghost town – for which the bill is still unpaid.
Which illustrates the need common to all infrastructure projects: meticulous long-term planning that encompasses not only what is in the blueprints, but all the contingent considerations – the factors that make for a winner.

"Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska on Wednesday became the nation's most prominent Republican officeholder to publicly question whether Sarah Palin has the experience to serve as president," the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Among the things Hagel told the newspaper about Alaska Gov. Palin:
"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials. ... You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."
"It's a stretch to, in any way, to say that she's got the experience to be president of the United States."
Hagel, who is leaving the Senate at the end of the year, has said he has no plans to endorse either Republican presidential nominee John McCain or Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

WASHINGTON - Parents, health officials are saying summer is the time when kids are most likely to try drugs or alcohol.
On average, each day of summer, more than 11,000 teens use alcohol for the first time across the nation, according to a new study. Also, about 5,000 teens start smoking cigarettes and 4,500 try marijuana during the summer.
The data was released in a report released by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Researchers surveyed more than 230,000 teens.
