To protect and enhance America's National Park System for current and future generations.
The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) works on the ground, in and around our national parks, conducting research, and working hand-in-hand with park staff, community leaders, park advocates, and state and federal legislators to ensure that our national parks and monuments are welcoming and well funded, well managed and well protected for generations today and tomorrow. NPCA can be found mobilizing citizens and joining with communities, businesses, landowners, and activists; promoting legislation that strengthens protections for the national parks, advocating for the funding our national parks and monuments need, establishing or enforcing legal safeguards through the courts; and doing everything we can to protect our national parks for years to come. NPCA was established in 1919 to be an independent voice for our National Park System. One of our founders, Stephen Mather, was also the first director of the National Park Service, which was established in 1916. Mather and others saw a clear need for an independent voice outside of the federal government to protect the nation's parklands. For more than 90 years, the nonpartisan, independent, membership organization has been the leading voice of the American people in protecting and enhancing the park system's superlative examples of America's natural, cultural, and historic heritage. NPCA and its more than a million members and supporters are committed to preserving the most diverse park system in the world for us now and for those who will come after.

I've been a supporter of this organiztion for several years. Why, because I love our national parks. Yet, the excessive salaries and expenses leave only 77% going to the actual programs. The administrative cost is a respectable 4%, but other expenses are out of line. I will search for another organization to support our national parks.
Supports National Park experiences. Protects wild and education experiences. Advises and supports staff.
Our National Parks are a significant part of what makes America Great!
So glad to be a NPCA Member.
Save our National Parks! This nonprofit always sends me updates, chances to get involved, and gifts for donations. Although they do often remind me often to donate, they don't pressure me. They also try to show exactly how the money will be used to benefit the parks.
National Parks is how we conserve for future generations what we get to enjoy today. I am happy this organization is around.
As an American that uses our parks and enjoys our parks, but most of all, loves our parks, I believe it is our duty to protect and love our parks. The best way to do that is through the NPCA. The Association does such good work to preserve our parks for future generations of Americans and others to enjoy forever. I am grateful.
I seldom get out into our National Parks but when I do I see the need for this Association and think it is the best way for all of us to help keep our national treasures secure and well maintained.
It's a must do! We have to conserve the best this country has to offer for future generations to appreciate! This country is very beautiful and the history of the national parks is a great reason to want to live in this country. The beauty speaks to your spirit and makes you glad to be alive!

I have had the good fortune of working with the dedicated team of NPCA and they are single minded in their support of the survival of our National Parks through advocacy and education.

My wife and I have visited many National Parks and Monuments over the years and have been amazed at how well-maintained the parks are, considering the limited budgets they have to work with. National Parks are truly a national treasure and, as such, MUST be preserved for future generations to enjoy. We urge everyone to contribute whatever they can, no matter the size of the gift, and to urge Congress to maintain or increase funding, so that together we provide a lasting legacy.

I'm considering a hardware upgrade from AMD Opteron 1216 to a Core i7 920 or Core i7 860. I want to know if Hardware Virtualization (VT-X) is supported? I found the spec sheets online which say yes. However, I'm concerned that it might be supported under certain chipsets/mobo combinations only.
Why I have this concern is because the Xeon motherboards claim to support hardware virtualization but not the spec sheets for the P55 based chipsets....so..any suggestions?
Also, is it possible for a LGA 1156 Xeon to be used on a P55 chipset mobo without loss of any functionality?

agree about the pleece! got the tomato red scarf last time & not only do i love it, i get a LOT of compliments on it! thinking seriously about getting the hoodie scarf ...

Looking at the sizes on Specs and this chart, looks like they start at toddler and go up to kids.
The Pleece stuff is incredible. I have purchased six pieces for myself and one for my mom (that I fully intend to borrow). I can't say enough nice things about it. I wrap myself up at the office or at home and have stayed snuggly warm since Woot started carrying this product. The pleece feels light but warm, very soft and easy to put on and take off. Seriously, I would buy every piece in every color if I could affort it.

Hello. I was thinking about setting up a small mp3 store on my site: http://www.ovekarlsen.com
I was wondering if there was any general impression of what the best plugins for this are.
I am just thinking of the simplest store, where people click on a link (price here), and the mp3 is added to some basket, and then click a checkout button or something like that.
Also would like a player, that is just a play button, that links to the mp3, listed: http://ovekarlsen.com/Blog/music/

More than 3,000 people came to watch Tony Stewart race Tuesday night at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Midway through the main feature, some of those fans were headed for the exits.
Stewart, making his first appearance in his hometown since 2001, was knocked out on the 13th of 25 laps in the Midwest TQ Racing League event on Tony Stewart Night at the Bartholomew County Fair. He was running fifth at the time.
"These are motorcycle engines, so they have two coils that run two independent cylinders, and I think one of the coils went out, so basically I was running on two cylinders instead of four," Stewart said.

Widespread rain is expected through tonight, but major flooding is
unlikely because of the progressive nature of the cold front.
However, localized flooding of low-lying and poor drainage areas
is possible, simply because of the volume of water with the
frontal rain band. QPF amounts will generally range from 2 inches
in the northwest portion of our forecast area, to half an inch at
Tallahassee. While this may cause some sharp rises at some of the
local rivers, they will likely remain below action stage.

Hornets' strength and defense dominate Rebels in Division V
Many high school football players who sulk after a loss don't want to be bothered for hours.
After losing to Kirtland, 35-7, in the Div. V Region 17 championship game at Mollenkopf Stadium Friday night, Crestview players could have done the same.
But C.J. Collins didn't shirk from his promise to talk.
After a tearful hug from family members, he took a deep breath, then, in a most statesman-like delivery, said:
"This team [Kirtland] is something special, so you've got to give them all the respect. Our coaches put us in a position to win, but we just didn't show up. We can't hang our heads. these are the best times of our lives so far. So you've got to accept it. We're rooting for Kirtland, which won't do anything short of state [championship]. Anything but state is a disappointment."
That's composure, that's Crestview, that's class.
Collins put his 6-4 frame and heart into his tackles of Kirtland's bullish Christian Hauber, who gained 206 yards and scored four touchdowns to vault his Hornets (13-0) into the state semifinals.
Many times, Collins hung onto Hauber, but was dragged for yards by the Air Force Academy-bound recruit.
As difficult as it was stopping Kirtland's power runner, Crestview also had the task of catching speedster Damon Washington — the other half of the Hornets' two-pronged threat.
Washington added 94 yards rushing and a touchdown for Kirtland, which is making its first state semifinal appearance.
"We've been in regional finals twice and lost to Ursuline [in 2008 and 2010], so this is our third trip and we didn't have to play Ursuline," Kirtland coach Philip LaVerde said. "So, here we are; now we're in the final four."
For Crestview (11-2), coach Paul Cusick was realistic about his Rebels' turnovers and penalties and lack of execution.
"I think we got caught up in the emotions and couldn't control ourselves. When you're playing a great football team like Kirtland, you can't do that," Cusick said of two fumbles lost and two interceptions, one of each which resulted in a Hornets TD.
"Obviously, that's the best team we've played," Cusick said. "They have a great shot at winning it all."
Cusick didn't expect being shut out until Adam Coppock scored on a 1-yard run with 0:27 left in the game.
"No, I thought that if we got a flow going offensively, we could do something, but we just didn't get in a flow. We had the turnovers and had a penalty here and there and, against teams like that [Kirtland], you can't do that. It just snowballs from there."
Kirtland had 21 first downs to Crestview's six and Nick Blower was held to 38 yards rushing.
"We knew they were going to be the best defensive team we've played — that's no mystery," Cusick said. "They did a good job of shutting us down."
Hey Rebels, great season!
It is a shame you got spanked by Kirtland, especially since they aren't a parochial school, like Ursuline. So you can't use the excuse that you used when Ursuline spanked you some years back about "recruiting" and such. This was your big chance since you didn't have to play that bully Ursuline this year. Oh well, maybe next year.
In the meantime, get rid of the rebel flag. I know that the news doesn't travel that fast out in Tea-Party country, but the Civil War is over. The Union won.posted 4 years, 8 months ago
You are an idiot Rockyroad. The Crestview kids played their hearts out and showed good sportsmanship. The Rebel flag has been with the school for many years, the Rebel is the school mascot and has jack diddly to do with the civil war or the union as far the school or these kids are concerned. The "rebel" has never been viewed or endorsed by the school or it's students as a endorsement of the civil war or the south. It is simply a mascot, same as any other mascot.posted 4 years, 8 months ago
Yeah Rockyroad stupid post. Not sure where your from, but from your comment about Ursuline, you must have went there. I have kind of stuck up for Ursuline and their 3 consecutive state championships in Division V, because high school kids are still just high school kids, but Ursuline does recruit and has some of the best Division I talent in the state of Ohio, playing in the next to the smallest division in the state (something to be really proud of). Crestview had a great season this year and there is no shame in losing to Kirtland, which may have won previous state titles if it weren't for having to play Ursuline as well. Your post reafirms my dislike for social media and anyones ability to post whats on their mind.posted 4 years, 8 months ago
Ursuline is a great football program and represents the area well as does Crestview. The Rebels have put together a great season and have nothing to be ashamed of, to go out an play Kirtland with its great defense and score and stay in the game is awsome. In a couple of weeks if Kirtland is the state champs Crestview can look back and say we played with the best in the state and although not our best game we were in it.posted 4 years, 8 months ago
rockyroad, Hey you are a very opinionated pessimistic, who although have a few good points, you really take yourself very seriously, and for someone who is in their 50's or more reading the vindy for 50 years, "common man", dont knock these high school kids from the suburbs that have done a wonderful job this season, Ursuline, and Mooney do recruit players, I played for one of the suburb schools in the 80's and we lost the biggest guy on our team to Mooney on scholorship money. I'm not crying about it though because I still had a very good experience in high school and my highschool is in the state playoffs this year. I no longer live in the area but do keep up with the powerhouse teams that the area still consistantly produce. I have alot of respect for the teams and players from the mahoning and columbiana counties they represent well. Unfortunately you see people post things like you do that brings down that proud tradition in the area you might say you are the "hypocrit" but I'm not into slinging mud and this is still a free country and if you want to continue to embarass yourself and the youngstown area with your again pessimistic post thats OK. I can just read and say "common man".posted 4 years, 8 months ago

Certain higher plants synthesize and accumulate glycine betaine, a compound with osmoprotectant properties. Biosynthesis of glycine betaine proceeds via the pathway choline → betaine aldehyde → glycine betaine. Plants such as tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) which do not accumulate glycine betaine lack the enzymes catalyzing both reactions. As a step towards engineering glycine betaine accumulation into a non-accumulator, spinach and sugar beet complementary-DNA sequences encoding the second enzyme of glycine-betaine synthesis (betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, BADH, EC 18.104.22.168) were expressed in tobacco. Despite the absence of a typical transit peptide, BADH was targeted to the chloroplast in leaves of transgenic plants. Levels of extractable BADH were comparable to those in spinach and sugar beet, and the molecular weight, isoenzyme profile and K m for betaine aldehyde of the BADH enzymes from transgenic plants were the same as for native spinach or sugar beet BADH. Transgenic plants converted supplied betaine aldehyde to glycine betaine at high rates, demonstrating that they were able to transport betaine aldehyde across both the plasma membrane and the chloroplast envelope. The glycine betaine produced in this way was not further metabolized and reached concentrations similar to those in plants which accumulate glycine betaine naturally. Betaine aldehyde was toxic to non-transformed tobacco tissues whereas transgenic tissues were resistant due to detoxification of betaine aldehyde to glycine betaine. Betaine aldehyded ehydrogenase is therefore of interest as a potential selectable marker, as well as in the metabolic engineering of osmoprotectant biosynthesis.

Relatively little is known about the etiology of bullying perpetration and victimization among Macanese adolescents. This study examines the effect of self-control on these behaviors in 365 participants aged between 10 and 17, from two male-only schools (a boarding and a non-boarding school) in Macau. Their bullying perpetration and victimization are measured using the Illinois Bully Scale; their self-control level is assessed by the Self-Control Scale. Bullying perpetration (bullying behaviors and fighting) and victimization are negatively associated with the participants' self-control level. Participants residing in a school dormitory are found to manifest more bullying behaviors, to exhibit more risk-seeking behaviors, and to be more self-centered than their non-boarding counterparts. Regression analyses indicate that the participants' living arrangements are significantly related to their involvement in bullying perpetration, whereas their age and their father's criminal history are significantly associated with their experience of being bullied at school. After controlling for the participants' demographics, their risk-seeking behavior, self-centeredness, and volatile temper, as indicators for low self-control, are found to have significant effects on their bullying perpetration. These findings provide further support for the importance of self-control in bullying perpetration. Suggestions are offered for fostering adolescents' self-control as a way to reduce their propensity to engage in bullying perpetration.

- Cover skillet with a lid and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once you see steam escaping the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time! Remove from heat and allow to stand with the lid on for 15 minutes before serving. This should be enough time to cook the dough.
- Dust with sugar, and serve.

I'm kindof in a jam.
I want to be able to post items to be previewed/linked on a particular page. I believe this can be done by categorizing before publishing, as this seems to work
for other pages within the site. I've noticed that these other pages do
have "templates" applied to them, that are titled things like "Journey,"
"Diary," and "Team." Those names may have been arbitrarily applied; I don't really know.
Anyway, it's not working. I categorize and I publish and although the post will appear in my "recent posts" sidebar on my homepage, it does not appear on the page/category I've selected. It has no template set, mind you, and I don't want to just add content directly into the page's content box. I want to be able to create new, separate, searchable posts that will appear in chronological, linear fashion
on that one page. These posts would have a little bit of a preview (title... first few sentences) and when clicked would take the user to its own, separate page.
I don't understand why selecting a category works fine for posting to other
pages, but not this one.
Any magical advice, oh wise ones?
Massively appreciated.

Alternative Methods of Increasing the Precision of Weighted Repeat Sales House Prices Indices
Weighted repeat sales house price indices have become one of the primary indicators used to identify housing market conditions and to estimate the amount of equity homeowners have gained through house price appreciation. The primary reason for the acceptance of this methodology is that it derives a location specific (typically, census division, state or metropolitan area) average change in house prices from repeated observations of individual house prices. It is this repeat attribute that allows repeat sales price indices to claim that it is a preferable index which does a better job of holding quality constant. The amount of time between the two observed prices for a single property is determined by when the home transacts. Some homes transact twice in a period of months and others do not transact for decades. It is likely that individual house price appreciation rates vary from the mean appreciation rate, as estimated by the index, in a systematic fashion. In general, the longer the time between transactions the more variance there is in individual house price appreciation. This paper extends this concept to include new dimensions. For instance, houses that appreciate faster than the mean, as estimated by the index for that location, may experience a different variation structure than homes that appreciate slower. This process can be viewed as an asymmetric treatment of the variance of house price appreciation around the estimated index. In addition, the variance of expensive and affordable homes may also be different and time varying. This paper finds evidence that adding the dimensions of price tiers and asymmetry to the variance estimate has merit and does affect the estimated index as well as homeowner equity estimates. Homeowner equity estimates are especially sensitive to these added dimensions because they depend on both the revised index and the estimated variances, which are specific to each dimension considered--time between transaction, asymmetry, and price tier.

The Vaccines reveal new album details
The Vaccines have announced that their second album will be called The Vaccines Come Of Age.
Due for release on 3 September, it'll be preceded on 8 July by a new single called No Hope - which got its debut on Monday evening on Zane Lowe's show.
The new album follows the band's Brit nominated debut What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?
The four-piece recently finished a tour of seaside towns and are set to play Radio 1's Hackney Weekend.
Speaking to Zane, singer Justin Young said the new track had a "fun" sound and was "a really good bridge between the first record and the second record".
"It shows people we're still doing pretty much the same thing," he said.
"But I guess as musicians and performers we've come a long way in the last 18 months. I think there's a lot more character and musicianship in there."
Also on The Vaccines' live agenda this summer are appearances at T in the Park, Reading and Leeds, as well as support slots with The Stone Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Politics Smoked Out
As much as I hate to reignite the Great Smoking Ban War on our website, I did promise the guy who picketed the talk I took part in at Town Hall last week with Randi Rhodes and Ron Reagan that I would post pictures of his sign on our website…
Here's a better look at his sign…
The title of the talk was "What Makes a Progressive?", and the picketerwhose name I didn't gethad one answer to the question: A progressive paper doesn't run tobacco ads in its pages. The picketer, upset about toboacco ads in the paper, handed out flyers that read… "Contact The Stranger and Tell Them You Are Fed Up With This Harmful Influence on Our Community." I'm sorry to report that we didn't get a single call from any of the 1000+ folks who attended the event.
One of the complaints itemized on the flyer was this: "AND DID YOU KNOW: THE STRANGER ENCOURAGED ITS READERSHIP TO VOTE AGAINST 901, THE PUBLIC INDOOR SMOKING BAN?â
You gotta love our non-endorsement of the smoking ban. We made it clear that we weren't endorsing 901 because of the idiotic, unenforceable, and wide-open-to-abuse 25 foot rule. We were for smoking bans in bars and clubs, but we worried about selective enforcement by the SPD.
The Stranger Election Control Board is no fan of secondhand smoke, and we would have loved to endorse a statewide smoking ban. Our problem with I-901 is that it doesn't stop at banning smoking inside of bars, restaurants, and other public venues. It also bans smoking outside bars and restaurants, prohibiting citizens from lighting up within 25 feet of any door, window, or vent that leads into a public establishment.
In a dense urban area such as Seattle, this creates a practical problem for certain blocks that are popular precisely because they are filled with doors, windows, and vents into public establishments (where would one smoke on such a block, except in the middle of the street?). But more disturbingly, the law's vague language on its own enforcement creates an irresistible opportunity for selective enforcement, a tactic long used by authorities in Seattle to target "certain" clubs and businesses.
Couldn't be clearerfor smoking bans, against this one.
Since our non-endorsement of the public indoor smoking ban aggressively endorsed the concept of indoor public smoking bans, angry smokers viewed our non-endorsement as an endorsement. For months after the smoking ban passed (it passed by an overwhelming margin even without our endorsement), angry smokers posted hundreds of comments on our website, blasting us for weeks on end about our support of the smoking ban, which we, uh, didn't actually endorse.
So where are we now? Since our non-endorsement of the smoking ban endorsed the concept of public indoor smoking bans, smokers were, and remain, furious with us. But because it was a non-endorsement, now anti-tobacco activists are pointing to our non-endorsement as case-closed evidence that The Stranger is in bed with tobacco companies. So by telling people to Vote No I-901, we somehow managed to eternally piss off tobacco smokers and tobacco haters alike. Neat trick.
As for the issue of taking ads from tobacco companies, that's a business decision, not an editorial decision. An ad in The Stranger does not constitute an endorsement from The Stranger. Provided there aren't any legal issuesno copyright violations, no libel, and believe it or not, nothing indecent (ahem)we generally avoid censoring ads.

LOS ANGELES (January 26, 2014) Daft Punk's infectiously catchy song "Get Lucky" was the Grammy Awards' record of the year Sunday night.
The mask-wearing electronic music pioneers Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo from France accepted the award with singer Pharrell and collaborator Nile Rodgers in tow.

sorry man
but this was not heavy metal like you put it in, but thats not why you have low scores.
orrigonality so low, because this song has been covered countless times
diversity, because it isnt a very diverse song. ever.
effort, because you did the whole thing in fruity loops, instead of using a real instrument.
to hide the FL sound in the future, i recomend doing the slayer part in acoustic mode, then adding distortion with virtual stomp boxes. you can make it sound like a real guitar then.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
From our August issue: Clinical-Style Validation,...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Ventana Medical Systems negotiated a nonexclusive worldwide license to relevant Cell Signaling Technology (CST) IP and antibody reagents for the detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in the field of tissue-based in vitro diagnostic testing. CST says it has already developed mutation-specific EGFR antibodies through its in-house cancer biomarker program. "CST is very excited to enter into this agreement with Ventana for the development of next-generation diagnostic products that intend to fulfill the promise of personalized cancer medicine," remarks Michael J. Comb, Ph.D., CST's president and CEO.
Ventana is owned by Roche and specializes in the development medical diagnostic systems and slide-based tests for cancer. Marketed products include the Vantage Workflow Solution and associated slide stainers, image-analysis solutions, and a rabbit monoclonal breast panel.
CST is focused on developing research tools used to help define mechanisms underlying cell function and disease, and in particular the production of the activation-state antibodies for investigating cell signaling pathways.
Just last month the firm announced a joint cancer therapeutics and diagnostics partnership with Astellas Pharma that aims to commercialize diagnostic and therapeutic products targeting the cancer enzyme EML4-ALK. The project will build on CST's discovery of certain variants of EML4-ALK in human cancer, and subsequent development of clinically validated antibodies that can detect the enzyme in human cancer tissues.

My house is about 100 years old. When it needs a new roof, furnace, or other maintenance, I budget for the repairs and get the work done. I don't expect a hand-out. This is my responsibility. The managers of the Bradley Center need a dose of reality, and to see things from the perspective of over-burdened tax payers.Hide replies
You are comparing your house to a 17,000 seat arena?
Let's compare the area to any business. Do you think a business would survive for 35 years without updating?
Apples to oranges when comparing a 100 year old house made out of wood and plaster compared to a fairly modern steel and concrete structure.
You better start budgeting because the metropolitan region needs a new downtown arena to remain competitive with other great cities. The former owner and future owners have taken us almost half-way there. If the region can't figure out how to finance the remainder, Milwaukee doesn't deserve the head start to a new downtown arena and entertainment district. This is a building that will benefit the public. The people complaining (that the new owners shoot foot the whole bill) are the ones who are looking for a handout.
Silly comparison.
Do you have hundreds of thousands of people coming over to your house to be entertained most nights of the year? It is a community building, of course it is going to need upgrades from the community.
What really bugs me is how this whole thing is being marketed, partly with how we're trying to sell people on the idea that we must build a new arena because of the costs of maintaining the Bradley Center. Here are two problems. Problem #1 - We're being told we should spend $500m on a new arena because otherwise over the next ten years we'll need to spend $100m on maintenance on the BC. I don't get the math. My favorite was when the advocates ran a picture in the paper of a rusty pipe in the BC basement; the solution to that is not a new arena, it's to call a plumber.
But that leads into Problem #2 - the advocates of this have never come up with a plan of what we'd then do with the Bradley Center plus the Cell Arena. So with a new arena you STILL have to spend that $100m unless you make the Bradley Center go away--and is that the plan? I think that would be criminal. Today we're keeping both the BC and Arena fairly busy--could a new facility host the Bucks, MU, UWM, the Admirals, and the Wave?
I'm a little lukewarm on this whole idea, but if we must go ahead I would offer two suggestions. First, develop the new facility for primarily basketball only (which should help on the costs), retain the BC for the Admirals plus some of the stuff now at the Arena, and demolish the Arena, which will be 70 years old by the time it would go away. And second, get a COMPLETE plan like this on the table, with all the costs and revenue, what's known in business as the total lifecycle cost of the whole thing across all facilities. Oh, and a third suggestion would be to stop marketing this to us with goofy scare tactics, like we're little children.Hide replies
Not to nitpick, but most reports have estimated that a new arena would be in the 400-450 million dollar range, not 500 million.
Despite being "designed for hockey", the BMO Harris Bradley Center lacks the requisite amenities & revenue streams to successfully house an NHL franchise (refer to comments of Craig Leipold, owner of the Minnesota Wild). If you are taller than about 5'-6", the circulation to your legs & feet will be cut off in the cramped "economy airline" seating. A nicely botched design effort by HOK Sport. There is little room to expand the building's footprint (except to the north), and correcting the cramped seating (for ALL events, including hockey) would essentially require razing almost the entire interior. A veritable renovation nightmare with its reinforced concrete construction - maybe the granite panels and leaded-copper roof can be salvaged & resold, the rest - fawgetaboutet !! !
Herb Kohl should besides give a $100 million towards a new stadium should be giving $50 million to the existing arena since he got the place for free to begin with, and did nothing to really maintain the place....
Honestly, if we do get a new arena BMO, and the old Mecca should both be torn down for new uses....Hide replies
They should be torn down if the new arena could support all the events that those two places currently house plus additional new events for it being a new arena to attract new events.
The Arena is what - 60 years old, and they aren't begging for money. Or complaining that it is going to fall apart.
And I don't see how you could do Bucks, Admirals, Marquette, UWM, Wave, Roller Derby, Circus, Disney on Ice, concerts, and all the other stuff that is currently held in the current buildings - in just 1 building.
The Warriors can build a privately funded arena on private land in California where the cost of everything will cost twice what it is in Mil and Herby throws out 100 million like it is the holy grail?
I guess Herbs "love" for Milwaukee only goes so far.
"The proposed arena will hold about 18,000 seats and the Warriors said it will be privately financed on private land near the San Francisco Giants' ballpark."Hide replies
If you criticize how much Kohl is contributing to the new arena, I hope you are not one of the people who are opposed to a sales tax to fund an arena.
1/10th of one percent for you and 100 million for Kohl.
I would say he is putting forth a little more than the average Joe.
What an obscene joke. So, you get the Bradley Center FREE the 1st time around via a $90,000,000 donation and 30 years later this facility still cannot carry it's own weight and is bleeding money...
Hmmm...Now, you want to build a $450,000,000 arena and are doing the full PR onslaught every day in the Journal for the additional $250,000,000.
So, how much is it going to cost to maintain a $450,000,000 arena and all it's much more expensive nooks and crannies & mechanicals vs the previous $100,000,000?
This new arena that the Billionaire owners are looking to the public to kick in $100's of millions of dollars is going to cost an astronomical amount just to maintain/repair/replace going forward ie OPERATING COSTS, THAT THE PUBLIC WILL MOST LIKELY BE STUCK PAYING A MAJORITY OF THAT BILL AS WELL as they are with the $425,000,000 Brewers Stadium that is owned 29.07% by the Brewers and 70.93% by the District.
Brewers initially kicked in $90,000,000 towards to cost of a new stadium and the public $310,000,000.
What a joke.
Govenernor Walker was on the news the other night...No increase in taxes unless the public votes on it ie referendum....
Lease Summary Brewers
(BTW...This summary isn't long and take a few moments to look it over. Gotta love how many millions of dollars the District kicks in for maintenance and repair each year vs the Brewers contribution but also how much the Brewers pay in rent.
Attansio et al are laughing their way to the bank.
If Milwaukee/Milwaukee Co. wants a new arena in downtown Milwaukee they should try different avenues of revenue with a new arena. They may want to approach the NHL. Ask the NHL if a new arena is built could Milwaukee get an expansion franchise. An NBA, NHL, and major college playing at a new arena may make economic sense to taxpayers. The NHL is currently looking to expand.Hide replies
No, the NHL is not looking to expand.
If you want to see a new NHL team, work on your French, because Québec City is next.
There are a half dozen NHL franchises valued at less than $200 million.
By comparison, the least valuable NFL franchise is valued at $825 Million; the least valuable MLB franchise is valued at $485 Million.
Point is, NHL franchises are quite affordable in comparison, if we could find an investor willing to bring an NHL franchise to Milwaukee, the new arena would be extremely viable. The New York Islanders are rumored to be for sale, valued at $195M. The two New York based investors who are buying the bucks could pitch in $100M each and get this done.
This Scenario would result in the new arena hosting a Professional sporting event at least 100 days per year. On top of that, we would be able to attract NCAA Men's Basketball and Hockey tournaments every year. Concerts, performances, and community events hosted in a state of the art indoor arena.
The new arena could host NBA and NHL, plus the premier events in mke.
The Bradley Center could be the home of Marquette, UWM, Admirals, and any overflow from the new arena
The US Cellular Arena could host The Milwaukee Wave, Arena football, Bonecrushers, WWE, and any overflow from the Bradley Center
Wouldn't there be a hefty fee a new NHL franchise in Milwaukee would have to pay each year to the Chicago Blackhawks? I think it has something to do with proximity. I'd have to look more into it but I think that is a big obstacle in why Milwaukee will probably never get an NHL Team.
There is also a lack of support for our current AHL admirals team. Could that change if we got a legit major league hockey team? Maybe. But numbers say hockey doesn't generate enough interest in the Milwaukee and surrounding communities.
Don't be cheesy and cheap on this one people. If you lose the Bucks, You'll never get another professional franchise, and nothing smells like urban blight like losing sports teams. I'd love to spend the money on other things too, but getting cutting edge employers to move here if we are losing cultural assets will be more difficult. No one really hurts paying the Miller Park sales tax. Low taxes are nice, but nobody's moving here for just that. It's not like the weather is nice.
The cost of demolition is way less than the $100 million. One thing socialist always think is "they can build a bus so every one has a seat." Of course, that's always with other peoples money ! We call them socialists but they are communists with a new name. The school buildings are failing, the city hall is failing as most public buildings are failing because the Ponzi schemes are failing. When your mindset is you can drink at the trough and you do not have to be good stewards this is what you get.
This is a clear statement that the management of the Bradley Center has been AWFUL. Only idiots would ignore upkeep to this level.

RIP RVP - you deserve better
"So, at last, RVP reveals what we all knew. He is going and Ar$e do not have the plan in place to become winners which is why he is leaving."
I dissagree, more a case of he can double his money elsewhere. Arsenal have already signed TWO international forwards this summer. Van Persie is just trotting out some old excuse no doubt dreamed up by his agent. He talks of 'love and respect' yet can't even honour the gentlemans agreement he had with Wenger to keep his trap shut!
The only reason it 'took RVP years to reach the goal level he did' was because he was sat in the medical room getting paid and supported by the club he has just shat upon.
Every Arsenal fan with eyes in their head always knew the lad was world class.
The club is bigger than RVP.
I say sell him to the highest bidder and leave a boot print on his backside to remind him what a complete c*nt he is.
I won't lose any sleep until the day Wenger himself leaves the club.
You can keep dreaming of Arsenal finishing mid table Sfer, you'll only keep getting all dissapointed.
GOOOOOOOOOOOONERS!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I detect some disappointment, frustration and resentment in your reply Fab.
I have no doubt that money played a huge part in RVP's decision but that was not all of it for sure. He had talks and the management could not persuade him that they were prepared to spend on the right level to acheive winning any trophies. The fact that he knows he can earn a lot more makes it easier but it is not the only reason as much as you would like it to be.
Let me ask you a question - would you rather have RVP or the two "International" strikers you have just bought?
I agree he has shown a total lack of respect to Ar$e but no big surprise there really. I know he is World class but he is also arrogant, cocky, surly, petulant and dirty. He is also your best player by a country mile.
Lets face it Fab - you have sold all your best players (Fabregas, Nasri and now RVP) over the last few years and you have bought in - mediocrity. Arteta, Benayoun...oh please. And you can't say whether or not Giroud or Poldolski will make the grade just because they have played at international level. Carlton Palmer played for England FFS!
I am not getting ahead of myself Fab, too many long hard years supporting Spurs to do that, but IF we sign some decent players and IF Whinger doesn't splash the cash (which he won't) then who knows where we will both be next year.
Just sayin!!

Oh i'm dissapointed and frustrated and indeed resentful Sfer but certainly not surprised. I had just hoped that perhaps there was some respect in VP for the club after all the years in which he was shown total dedication whilst out injured.
Ah well.
Arsenal are not run the Man City way Sfer. Arsenal have made it clear how they do their business.
I do not believe you have to 'spend at a certain level' to achieve success. What level is that anyway? Does that mean every club has to match Man City and their astronomic spending power???
Wenger builds teams that compete at the very highest level. Always. His hand was forced into buying Arteta (far far better than 'win the ball and give it away' Scott Parker BTW!) and LOANING Benayoun (whose appearances one could probably count on one hand, yet who still had a large say in Arsenal cementing their rightful CL spot).
Would i rather RVP than Poldolski/Giroud?
Today, Pidolski/Giroud as at least there is more of a chance they actually want to play for the club and have a REAL hunger for success.
Niether is Carlton Palmer BTW.
Wenger never bought Carlton Palmer.
Spurs are light years behind Arsenal and AVB is light years behind Wenger, Sfer, and if 'ifs' and 'buts' were presents and bows, it would be Christmas every day mate!
Right....gotta take the dog out for his walk.
GOOD NEWS for us! always good to see the gooners lose the best player. its becoming a regular thing!
RVP is a nasty piece of work but a very good player.
of course the extra money helps, but u cant argue the fact u arent challenging for the title or CL.
he deserves to be fighting for that. he cant do it at arsenal.
just like modric really. of course the extra money he will get helps, but im not going to delude myself (like fab with rvp) in to believing thats the only reason. modric deserves to be fighting for titles & the CL too. in fact the very least he deserves is CL footie.
fabs favourite 100m sprinter theo is also down to just 1 yr left.
although he wont be missed much if he goes. u could just sign dwain chambers on a free to take over.
huge fan of wilshire, he will be world class. but u wouldnt be suprised if in 3 or 4 yrs time he gets bored of celebrating a CL place like u have won the prem & CL!
if im honest sfer, i think both us & arsenal are on the slide next season. u would expect chelsea to pick things up. liverpool cant get any worse. so ud expect utd,city to fight it out & then chelsea to be ahead of the next few teams.
liverpool,arsenal & hopefully us will be fighting it out for 4th.
but u never know, city will prob win the CL but finish 7th.
