How To fix Sexploitation in Australia? Sexploitation In Female Sport What Is Sexploitation?
An illusory image is the fifth report in a longitudinal study of women's sports coverage. The others were conducted every four years in 1980, 1984, 1988 and 1992.
An illusory image looked at the media over two-week period in 1996 from Monday 24 June to Sunday 7 July.
An illusory image surveyed 23 metropolitan and regional newspapers including dailies and weekend editions, two sports-specific magazines, all national television broadcasters and two Sydney-based radio stations.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that in 1995–96, 44.6 per cent of players in organised sport were women.
Television coverage of women's sport in 1996 was 2 per cent. Commercial network television coverage of women's sport was 0.2 per cent. Non-commercial coverage was 20 per cent.
In 1980, newspaper coverage of women's sports was 2 per cent. In 1992 it was 4.5 per cent. It doubled from 1992 to 1996 to come in at 10.7 per cent and from 1980 to 1996 this represents a 500 per cent increase in women's sports coverage. However, with men's sport registering 79.1 per cent in 1996, this still means six times more newspaper space is devoted to men's sport than to women's sport.
Radio coverage of women's sport was also surveyed for the first time and showed a figure of 1.4 per cent of total sports air time. Commercial coverage registered at 0.4 per cent, while non-commercial coverage registered at 3.4 per cent.
In 1996, sports magazines were surveyed for the first time. Women's sport registered 6.8 per cent of sports coverage. Sexploitation
Sexploitation is a term used to describe
any form of marketing or attempt
to gain media attention that focuses
on the sexual attributes and physical
attractiveness of athletes.
Although sexploitation can affect
both male and female athletes, it is
more often seen in the marketing of
female athletes. Both sexploitation and
a need for sponsorship are not limited
to female athletes.
However, the issue
is less contentious for men's sport as
it has far greater media coverage and
sponsorship, and society in general still
views sportsmen in a different light from
sportswomen. How is it done? One method of sexploitation is to use body-hugging and revealing sports uniforms. However, many sports require closely-fitted uniforms. For example, in athletics, tracks and field athletes of both sexes wear
body-hugging outfits of lightweight material. Revealing uniforms are not the only method used to sexualise women in sport, and sexploitation is not simply a matter of skimpy uniforms on female bodies.
It is also the inappropriate portrayal of athletes on and off the sports eld.Photographs of athletes posing in swimwear are common
in many 'sports' magazines. For example, Inside Sport and Sports illustrated feature a female model in swimwear on the cover of each issue.
These cover models are usually not athletes and are simply used to promote the magazine and increase sales to its predominantly male readers. The covers of such magazines re ect the driving force behind sexploitation. Okay, so hows that a barrier? Bibliography Evidence of its Existence One major Structural barrier keeping women from participating in triathlons is the economic cost. Triathlons are a costly sport. The athlete is required to pay for membership fee, pool fee (for annual training), a good bicycle, togs, goggles, helmet, runners. In order to for female athletes to afford this, is by getting sponsorships from various different businesses. Young girls in school undergo so much pressure and insecurity, as they feel like they have to look pretty and fit in with peers. They are very consious of their bodies and weight. Participating in a triathlon could be very humiliating and embarrasing for many school girls.
One possible solution to help girls overcome their insecurity could be to invite someone like Layne Beachley to come support schools in an all girls triathlon event. By gaining access to such role models, young girls will really listen and want to participate. The event would be advertised as a fun TRY-athlon. Young girls in a schooling community are often very social, and therefore would feel more confident and comfortable participating with friends. Therefore, it could possibly even be a team event. Girls could complete the triathlon in teams. This would create a more fun, friendly and less intmidating environment. Also, girls will feel less paranoid about the way they look, as no boys would be invited to view or be involved. Another way to decrease girls negative self esteem and increase participation in triathlons could be to have Layne Beachley (or another role model) wear and promote a fairly modest and practical swimsuit during the event. Hopefully young girls will follow their lead and wear more practical swimwear, as there are no guys in the event to impress. Then young girls who are self conscious about their body image will feel more comfortable to participate, as they are not the only ones without a skimpy bikini. http://www.oup.com.au/titles/secondary/health__and__physical_education/physical_education/queensland/9780195573862/10_RUS_QSPE_3pp.pdf

Bautista powers Jays over Red Sox
Toronto Blue Jays Jose Bautista hits a three run home run against the Boston Red Sox during the first inning of their MLB American League baseball game in Toronto, June 3, 2012. (REUTERS/Mark Blinch)
On a wild afternoon two things were certain:
Jose Bautista's stroke is as powerful as ever.
And this Drew Hutchison kid?
As legendary Philadelphia Phillies scout Huey Alexander might say "let me tell you something ... he can pitch."
Hutchison worked a Pat Hengten-like seven innings limiting the Boston Red Sox to one run in a 5-1 win before 41,925 fans at the Rogers Centre.
And Hutchison showed Hentgen spunk coming off the mound to bark at Boston third baseman Kevin Youkilis, who screamed at Hutchison after being plunked on the shoulder in the sixth inning.
"Get it down!" Youkilis yelled.
J.P. Arencibia, wearing the catcher's gear and a UN badge, served as a peacemaker.
"He yelled at me, I yelled back," said Hutchison. "Juices were flowing. I'd rather not say what was said, it is was it is."
It was a needed win for the Jays, who had dropped eight of 12 going into the finale of the Boston series.
It was a win that the Jays can thank Daniel Bard's wildness for ... the Jays were up 5-0 on the strength of one hit: Bautista's three-run homer.
It was a win which was a result of Hutchison allowing a solo homer to Kelly Shoppach with two out in the fifth, the only run he'd allowed in his previous 14 innings. With two aboard in the same inning he popped up Adrian Gonzalez.
Hentgen, filling in as the bullpen coach for Pete Walker, whose daughter is recovering from surgery, has a comparable for Hutchison.
"When I first saw him he reminded me of Shaun Marcum, both threw in 88-91 MPH," Hentgen said. "That's when they were both in class-A. Drew was a former shortstop, about 160-165 lbs. Now, he's 30 pounds heavier and he's 94-95.
"He hit 95 more in his previous start against the Orioles, but lots of 94s."
Hutchison has a 4.35 ERA in nine starts. Ricky Romero is third on the Jays staff at 4.04 behind Brandon Morrow (3.28) and Henderson Alvarez (3.75). Kyle Drabek has a 4.65 ERA.
And while Hutchison has made two fewer starts he's allowed the fewest homers by any Jays starter.
OUCH!: Both Yunel Escobar and Edwin Encarnacion were hit on the hand by Bard pitches in the second. Escobar hit the dirt and stayed there.
Encarnacion who seldom shows emotion wound up 20 feet from the plate wringing his hand in pain before trainer George Poulos arrived to attend to him.
"Obviously, he's our best hitter this year," said Arencibia. "We don't want to lose Edwin."
Encarnacion leads with 17 homers and 43 RBIs and the 43rd was the most painful, as Bard hit him with the bases loaded. He went to first, but when his turn to bat came in the fifth, Jeff Mathis pinch hit.
"I have my fingers crossed, I'll answer how I felt when we know what the X-rays tell the doctors," said Encarnacion.
X-rays proved negative on Encarnacion's right hand and he remains day-to-day.
Meaning of bard: We remember being told in school that a bard was a professional poet, employed by a nobleman ... not a wild man.
As Bard struggled with his control one fan yelled out "don't be afraid to mix in a strike," and "hire a mechanic to work on your mechanics."
Bard faced 13 hitters and retired five, throwing 55 pitches - only 24 for strikes.
Bard walked Kelly Johnson and Escobar to open the game and Bautista homered -- his 11th since May 1. Bautista is hitting .259 with 27 RBIs after having three homers, 10 RBIs and a .187 average in the cruelest month of all.
Bard got really wild in the second: walking Colby Rasmus and Arencibia on 10 pitches, hitting Escobar, walking Bautista to drive in a run and plunking Encarnacion for another.
At one point in the second Bard was moving along at 36 per cent of his pitches for strikes.
Question: "How do you like facing a guy who throws that hard and doesn't know where it is going?"
"How would you like to face a 95 MPH fastball," Arencibia told reporters.
Said Bautista: "It's a matter of picking and choosing, it's tougher facing someone always painting the corners on you, than someone who is wild."
Boston Red Sox Manager Bobby Valentine wondered whether there was something physically wrong with Bard
"I asked him and he said he wishes there was, but there wasn't," Valentine told reporters.
Memories of Mike: Watching Youkilis play third base reminds me of Mike Scioscia blocking the plate for the Los Angeles Dodgers. No one was better ... Youkilis blocked the bag on Brett Lawrie's ill-advised attempt to steal third with two out - with left-handed hitter David Cooper at the plate - on Saturday. And Sunday he took an off-balance drive from left fielder Daniel Nava and dove to tag Cooper attempting to stretch his drive off the left-field wall into a triple ... Said Arencibia, Youkilis's usher to first base: "I can't say what that conversation was about, sometimes there are hot heads on both sides, it's my job to stick up for my pitcher or any of my teammates."

Start a Blog!
Hey Millennial Mommy! If you are here because you want to start a blog and start earning extra income today you have come to the right place! Want to start your own mom blog? Follow my step-by-step guide below to start your blog today!
Part One: Setting up your Blog
1. Find your Topic
What is it you want to blog about? It may be tempting to start a blog about anything and everything you can think of, but this wont drive viewers. You need to find something a little bit more specific. Are you a total foodie, passionate about saving money, or do you love to travel with your family? Do you want to review mommy products or tell stories of mommyhood? Whatever you decide to blog about should be something you are very passionate about. You will need to continue to generate content and you should choose something that will get you excited to share content with the world and with your readers.
2. Find your niche
Once you have decided on a topic, you need to find your niche. Who is it you blog for?
Think specifically about
- How old your readers are
- Are they male or female
- Are they Single? Do they have families?
- Are they students? Professionals? Middle aged? Retired?
- What do they do in their free time?
- What sort of careers do they have or do they stay at home?
Now what problem do they want solved? What is it they want? Get into your readers heads and figure out how you can help them and what they are looking for.
For example, you may want to start a food blog. There are a crazy amount of food blogs on the internet these days. By finding your niche you narrow down your market and attract more specific viewers. You could blog about
- Healthy food
- Cheap, money saving recipes
- Family friendly food
- Gluten Free food
The options are endless! Instead of becoming just another food blog on the internet, your blog can attract a specific set of viewers which will get you a more loyal following. Which in the end means more viewers (and more income) for you!
3. Choose Your Name
Your Blog name should reflect what it is that you blog about. If you blog about food your name should have something to do with food. For example, Kate's Cookies. This way your viewers automatically know what to expect when they come to your blog.
Your domain name is the name that shows up in your URL. So in my case, my blog name is Millennial Mommy and my Domain name is MillenialMommyBlog.com. In most cases you want your Blog name and Domain name to be the same or very very similar.
You can either buy a domain name separately from buying your hosting (more on that later) or you can buy it at the same time. With SiteGround (my preferred web hosting company) your Domain name comes free when you set up your hosting.
4. Choose your Platform
Now that you have decided what you want to blog about you need to find your blog platform. Your platform is basically where you go to design and manage your blog.
There are two types of platforms, self hosted platforms or free platforms.
Free Platforms
Free platforms are those that are hosted by the platform itself instead of a separate hosting company. With a free platform you will not have your own domain name. You instead will have a domain name that looks like blogname.wordpress.com. These free sites include
- WordPress.com
- Blogger
- Tumblr
…and many more. If you are looking for space to share your ideas and thoughts and connect with people you may want to go for this option. If you are looking to become serious about blogging and earn an income from your blog you should go for the self-hosted option.
Self Hosted
Having a self hosted site means you have your own domain name and you are the owner of your blog! WordPress or blogger or whichever site you use is not the owner, you are the owner. In order to have a self hosted site you need to find someone to host it. There are a number of companies that are able to host your site.
I personally use SiteGround and I have found them to be beyond amazing. Their plans are inexpensive, I have has ZERO down time, and their customer service is amazing. I recently changed my domain name and they helped me through the process so quickly and easily. They also have a live chat where you can talk to a representative 24/7 and they are incredebly helpful.
5. Set Up Your Self- Hosted Site
Setting up your self hosted site is super easy, especially if you are using SiteGound.
Step One: Choose your hosting plan
SiteGround has three plans
- The StartUp plan is perfect for people with one website that are starting now
- The GrowBig plan is a great value for money offer, including the option for multiple websites and the SuperCacher that greatly improves a WordPress and Joomla website speed
- The GoGeek plan is perfect for people with e-commerce and larger sites, or more geeky development needs like staging and GIT integration
All plans include free domain registration!
Step Two: Complete your order
By clicking this link or any of the other SiteGound links you will receive a huge discount on your hosting plan! For a startup plan you can expect to pay only $3.96 per month instead of $7.95 per month (thats a 50% discount!)
6. Set up your Platform
Now that you have your Domain Name and your Web Hosting, you need a place to manage your blog. This is where wordpress.org (NOT wordpress.com) comes in. There are a few other platforms such as blogger or Joomla, but WordPress is my preferred platform. They are incredebly easy to use, offer a ton of plug-ins so you can customize your blog any way you like and there are an infinite amount of themes available to you. SiteGround makes it super easy to set up your WordPress account!
You can either choose to setup WordPress manually here or you can use their WordPress Wizard for super easy setup! Either way, SiteGround provides you with step-by-step tutorials for setting up your WordPress.
Once you have set up your WordPress account, you can access your blog through the login at blog.com/wp-admin. This is where you will login and manage your blog!
7. Choose a Theme
Once you have your blog set up through WordPress you can start customizing it by choosing a theme! There are a ton of free themes to choose from but I recommend paying for a theme. To find a theme you can either google "WordPress themes" or check out some blogs that you like and follow the link on the bottom of their blog to the themes website. StudioPress has a TON of awesome themes to choose from so you can start there if you need a place to look =)
Some themes require the Genesis Framework through whom you can operate your theme and further customize your blog.
Once you find a theme you install it onto your site and start customizing to your hearts desire!
8. Start Creating Content
Congratulations! You have successfully set up your blog! Now that you have your awesome blog up and running its time to start generating some content.
I suggest writing about 10 posts before you go live with your blog. This way, your viewers will have something to see and will want to keep coming back for more =)
Now its time to move on to the next part of this series….sharing your blog and generating traffic.
Part Two: Sharing your Blog
Part Three: Monetizing your Blog

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
I like to imagine what sex might be like if we had never seen sex. In a world without porn and Cinemax, would we focus purely on sensation, without worrying/wondering about the visual picture we're creating?
An article I read recently in "Psychology Today" finally gave me a name for all this from-the-outside-in experiencing of our sexuality: spectatoring.
Spectatoring is a process suggested by Masters and Jonhson around 1970, in which the sexual participating focuses on him/herself "from a third person perspective during sexual activity, rather than focusing on one's sensations and/or sexual partner." Men do it more, but women are apparently catching up, and we always led the pack on a related issue, body image concerns during sex. Not only are we watching ourselves during sex, we're watching to see how our stomach looks from that angle.
Look, I have trouble staying present anyway, which is why yesterday's meditation in "The Language of Letting Go" spoke to me so deeply I whispered the end of it fervently to myself several times before bed: God, help me let go of my need to escape myself. Help me face my issues so I am comfortable living in my body.
For many years after my rape and before seeking treatment, I fled my body the instant sexual activity began. It was literally like flipping a light switch -- one second I'm there, the next I'm gone. The lights aren't on, and also nobody's home.
Checking out was a survival mechanism when the things that were happening to my body were too horrible to process, and later became a way to ignore the feelings sex invoked, especially when I was having it with people who didn't like or respect me, or whom I wasn't attracted to, out of a skewed sense that I was obligated to be sexual with anyone who wanted me.
These days I still have to struggle to be where I am during sex without retreating into fantasy, to "have" sex instead of "performing sex." And while these are normal issues for someone with my trauma background, I think a lot of women struggle with this to some degree.
After all, we're well aware of the role of pornography in a modern man's life -- that by the time he's having sex with us, he's already watched thousands of augmented, airbrushed, hairless women perform any manner of fantasy sex acts with bodies perfectly angled toward the camera lens.
As a result, many of the acts we are expected to engage in enthusiastically are probably not the same ones we would have come up with organically. To put it another way, did the cavemen have facials?
And in engaging in them, are we engaging in an inherently performative act? I have been known to beg for one in true arousal, but then I am Queen Spectatorer. And I can admit that what turns me on in that situation probably has more to do with fulfilling a male visual fantasy than the feeling of baby juice hitting my face.
And that's cool! Despite all the ways I am and have been screwed up about sex, I love sex and all the various things that motivate human sexuality -- visual imagery, power dynamics, childhood issues, playacting and roleplaying and all the rest of the weird funky brain stuff we play out in bed.
But the problem with spectatoring is that it leads to anxiety, fear and sexual dysfunction. Don't blame me, blame Masters and Johnson! And I bet dollars to donuts that allllll that self-focus that us girls are engaging in during the act is making sex worse, not better.
So I say let's try doing it like the cavemen did -- with lots of grunting and clubbing each other over the head.
Just kidding! What I really think we should do is try to focus on our partners and our pleasure. There are a series of exercises that have been recommended to me called "sensate focus." They're supposed to help you pay attention to your own sexual senses, and doing them will make you feel incredibly stupid. But all the best therapy stuff does; just ask the pillows I've been beating the hell out of with a Wiffle bat for the past year, or the CHAIR I TALK TO LIKE ITS MY FATHER.
Alternately, use a blindfold and pretend it's kinky!
Can you relate to feeling like you're thinking more about how sex looks than how it feels? What are you thinking about during sex?

The latest thing in skinny screens is LED backlighting, which helps make the X300's 13.3-inch display crisp and vivid for black text and color images alike. On the other hand, to be frank, the 1,440 by 900-pixel panel didn't seem super-bright or show whiter whites under office fluorescent lighting, unless we left the backlight on its highest setting.
Working at home, with just one or two lamps at opposite sides of the living room, made things look better. Under such less-than-sunny conditions, or on a darkened airplane beside a snoring seatmate, you can press a Fn-key combination to activate the cutest little night light you ever saw, tucked into the top bezel beside the 1.3-megapixel webcam and shining down on the keyboard.
The keyboard lives up to the high standard of other ThinkPads, stretching back well before 2005 when Lenovo acquired the matte-black brand from IBM. It's virtually full-sized (spanning 8 inches from A through apostrophe, just like our desktop keyboard) and delivers a smooth, yielding-just-enough typing feel. There are dedicated Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys instead of shifted cursor arrows, as well, though it takes some practice to adjust to their location in the keyboard's top right corner.
Lenovo also offers travelers a choice of IBM's famous original or today's most common mouse alternatives -- a textured TrackPoint micro-joystick stub embedded at the intersection of G, H, and B, plus a touchpad in the palm rest with vertical and horizontal scrolling zones along its right and bottom edges.
Both the TrackPoint and touchpad have their own left and right mouse buttons below. We found that, when using the X300 in our lap, the latter's mouse buttons were often too close or pressed against our belly to use, so we happily relied on the joystick's buttons just above the touchpad.
Lenovo boasts that the X300 is the most environmentally friendly ThinkPad to date, consuming 25 percent less energy than older X Series models and meeting both Energy Star 4.0 and EPEAT Gold standards for low power consumption and minimal impact on Mother Earth. Along with the LED backlit display and no-moving-parts SSD, one of the key contributors to this status is Intel's Core 2 Duo SL7100, a 1.2GHz processor with an 800MHz front-side bus, 4MB of Level 2 cache, and a thrifty TDP (thermal design power) of 12 watts.
The CPU specs should clue you in that nobody's going to use the X300 for hardcore gaming or video encoding, but the notebook's performance is perfectly fine for office applications. It scored 3,305 on PCMark05 (CPU 3,279; memory 3,262; graphics 1,042; hard drive -- wildly skewed by solid-state -- 15,787), and rendered Cinebench 10's test scene in six and a quarter minutes.
Intel's GMA X3100 integrated graphics handled our benchmarks about as well as you'd expect, managing 70 frames per second in our nostalgic Quake III Arena test and 10 fps in the more demanding AquaMark3; its 3DMark06 score at native 1,440 by 900 resolution with no antialiasing or other eye candy was 362.
Lenovo's array of models with just slightly different ID codes (6478-1VU versus -1TU, for instance) can make it hard to spot the exact configuration you'd like, but we must confess that one thing we liked about our test unit was that it came with the simpler, quicker Windows XP Professional instead of Windows Vista.
A page on Lenovo's Web site (under the banner headline "It's hard to say goodbye") says that systems with XP preloaded will be available for purchase only through May 20, 2008, but that customers will be able to buy a downgrade DVD that wipes out the newer and installs the older operating system. One of the company's tech support pages adds that the downgrade kit will be available (though "fees may vary") until January 31, 2009.
The rest of our ThinkPad's preinstalled software ranged from the predictable (trial versions of Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Office) to the Picasa2 image organizer, Diskeeper Lite defragment utility, InterVideo WinDVD, and an impressive stack of utilities and control settings arrayed under the ThinkVantage label.
A pop-up ThinkVantage Productivity Center offers maintenance, wireless (including location profiles for different networks and logons), hardware configuration, and security options presented so as not to frighten even the technophobiest.
Finally, the X300's light weight doesn't indicate a wimpy battery pack as with some slimlines. The supplied six-cell battery lasted a good four hours during a multimedia-heavy DVD-viewing and music-playing session, while a less demanding word processing marathon stretched to five hours.
So what do we mean by best notebook ever? Simply the best-engineered, most desirable, thin-and-light-without-compromises laptop we've seen in many long years of testing, reviewing, and not infrequently buying. Out of all the PCs that have occupied the Labs, Weather, & Sports Desk, the ThinkPad X300 is the one we most hate to send away.
Ah, well. If you love something set it free.

Yep, yet another Mike. And another victim of Big Mike's incessant (?brutal?) aggrandizement of the PCjr over vintage-computer.com. ;-o
I started in the late 70s when I bought an unused TRS-80 from a fellow sailor in Japan. The first free Saturday after the purchase, I hoped on a commuter train up to Tokyo, then a subway ride to the Akihabara (electronics) district. Sketchy directions in hand, I found the only TRS-80 dealer in Tokyo, where I bought a 0k expansion lnterface, then wandered around looking for the cheapest RAM to fill the EI.
Somewhat later, I purchased a pair of Aerocomp DSDD floppies, about $1000 shipped from Texas to FPO Seattle. I eventually upgraded to an LNW-80, then, back in the States to, an LNW-80 Model 2.
Then I moved on to a PCjr, which ended up with 2 drives and 640k. I have fond memories of that little machine, but eventually I moved up to an XT clone and then beyond.
Now, it looks like I'm getting an ex-Brutmanworks PCjr* from Hargle, so in the next couple of weeks, I'll be be back in the jr world.
*actually, nothing special: just a 128k machine that wasn't worth taking west.

The Central Subway is the second phase of the Third Street Light Rail line, which opened in 2007. The Central Subway will extend this line northward from its current terminus at 4th and King Streets to a surface station south of Bryant Street and go underground at a portal under I-80. From there it will continue north to stations at Moscone Center, Union Square—where it will provide passenger connections to the existing Powell Street BART and Muni Station— and at Chinatown, where the line will terminate. The Central Subway is expected to carry nearly 73,000 passengers a day, making it the second most utilized rail project in the Federal New Starts Program. On March 30, 2010 the Transportation Authority Board adopted a Baseline Budget, Schedule and Funding Plan for the project. Revenue service is scheduled for late 2018. The total project budget is $1.58 billion, and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has full funding commitments from a combination of local, state, and federal sources. The primary funding source for the Central Subway is the federal New Starts program. To date, the project has received $140.5 million in funds programmed by the Transportation Authority (including $124 million in Prop K funds) and $769 million in federal New Starts funds. It also received $61.3 million in Prop 1A High Speed Rail connectivity funds. On October 11, 2012, the SFMTA received the Central Subway project's Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA), from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the most significant funding-related milestone in the New Starts process The FFGA represents the FTA's official commitment of the $942 million in federal New Starts funds to the project, a major milestone that allowed the project to move forward into the main construction phase.
Final Design was completed in October 2012. It was delivered under three contracts: DP1-Tunnels, DP2-Stations, and DP3-Systems. The project is being delivered in four construction packages, all of which have been awarded: Utility Relocation 1, Utility Relocation 2, Tunnels, and Stations and Systems. Both utility relocation contracts and the Tunnels contract have been completed, and work is underway on the Stations and Systems contract.
The Tunnels contract was awarded in June 2011, to the Joint Venture of Barnard/Impregilo/Healy. The $233.9 million contract consisted of 1.5 miles of twin-bore tunnels underneath Fourth Street and Stockton Street, from I-80 to North Beach. Its major components included tunnel boring machine (TBM) procurement, construction of the TBM launch box and cross passages, construction of extraction shaft and portal, and headwalls for the Union Square and Moscone stations, among other elements. The contractor procured the TBMs from The Robbins Company, headquartered in Solon, Ohio. With the completion of this contract in May 2015, on schedule and $16 million under the baseline budget, the Central Subway project achieved a major milestone. Reaching this milestone retired one of the major risks of the project.The Stations and Systems contract was awarded in May 2013 to Tutor Perini Corporation. At $838 million, this is the largest single construction contract ever awarded by the SFMTA. The contract consists primarily of the three underground stations, one surface station and the project-wide systems, which include track, overhead contact system, communications, signals, ventilation, and fire protection among others. Other associated components include a connection between the existing Powell Street station and the new Union Square station.
As of January 31, 2017, the Central Subway Project was 65% complete. At the Chinatown Station, the headhouse has been mostly excavated and mining of the station cavern is underway. PG&E work on Stockton and Washington Streets has been completed. At the Union Square station, work continues in excavation and shoring of the station box and at the station headhouse on the Union Square garage. Meanwhile, at the Yerba Buena/Moscone station, excavation has reached the invert and the tunnel liners have been removed within the station box. After installing the rat slab and waterproofing, rebar is being installed for the five-foot-thick invert slab. For the surface station at 4th and Brannan Streets and Systems package, work has been completed on the special trackwork at 4th and King Streets, the 78 in. sewer reconstruction and the 48 in. sewer installation. Ductbank and pavement renovation is also underway.As of January 2017, the Stations and Systems contract was 54% complete, with substantial completion anticipated by February 2019.
The SFMTA continues with its construction outreach program, keeping the neighbors in the vicinity of the project informed about ongoing and upcoming construction activities, lane closures, and general project information. Transportation Authority staff and project delivery oversight consultants will continue to work closely with the SFMTA project team as the project progresses the construction phase. Revenue service is scheduled for December 26, 2018.

First came the withdrawal of an offer by Bill Ng, the Singaporean businessman, who cited "serious concerns over the deliverability of the shares on offer". Ng added: "We have become increasingly uncomfortable and frustrated with the process of dealing with Duff & Phelps, and the length of time that it has taken to reach this stage. As of today, there is no indication of a preferred bidder."
Next to make a public statement was Bill Miller, the American tow-truck millionaire, who couched his announcement in language pitched somewhere between that of a cardiologist and an evangelist. "In order to preserve the club's history, records, championships and assets, I will put the heart of the club into an 'incubator' company while Duff and Phelps works to make the sick patient healthy through a CVA process that effectively works to radiate the toxicity of past administrations' sins out of the patient while the healthy heart is preserved and moves forward," he said.
Miller added: "I have held a series of talks over the past week with officials from the SPL and SFA in an effort to ensure Rangers play in the 2012-13 season without further points deductions, fines or other punitive sanctions, relating to either the terms of my purchase or the actions of the prior administrations, beyond those levied during the 2011/12 season.
"My offer is contingent upon the regulatory bodies agreeing that the club will begin play in the 2012/13 season in the SPL and that they will do so without any loss of points and with all historic titles intact. I will not acquire the club unless I receive written assurances from both regulatory bodies to this effect."
The SPL made no official response but Telegraph Sport understands that Miller's demands – outrageous as they will seem to some – will not be rejected out of hand because the league's board first needs to assess what is best for its own interests.
Finally, Duff & Phelps entered the fray, in the person of co-administrator, Paul Clark, who declared that the Blue Knights consortium, headed by former Rangers director, Paul Murray - originally in association with the Ticketus agency - was still in the reckoning. "Having placed themselves in a good position the Blue Knights consortium' withdrawal of their financial commitment to pay an exclusivity fee last week was a real setback for us," said Clark.
"We have been in contact with the Blue Knights consortium earlier today to confirm that they are considering their position as to whether they will be able to make an unconditional bid for the club – including an acceptable exclusivity arrangement.
"We have not received their unconditional bid."
In respect of Miller's bid - which is significantly conditional - Clark said: "If that was the only acceptable bid then we would prepared to proceed with Bill Miller early next week. The point is that we just couldn't move any quicker because until Mr Miller issued his bid there just hasn't been a bid on the table that was capable of acceptance.
"But with Mr Miller's bid we will be able to make a decision and proceed one way or another on Monday and I can tell you that earlier today we had continued dialogue with Paul Murray and advisors of the Blue Knights consortium and the suggestion is that these discussions continue over the weekend.
"Without season ticket sales the money would run out towards the end of May or early June. So from that point of view we really do need to proceed with one of these bids.
"Mr Miller said 'Put up or shut up' and if no further and better bid comes along, we'll proceed with him next week. I don't think the SPL are going to be in a position to ignore a temporary newco, as you've called it."
As for Brian Kennedy, the Edinburgh-born owner of Sale Sharks rugby club, Clark was almost dismissive. "If Brian Kennedy does want to re-enter the bidding race he would be very welcome to do so but having ruled himself in and out on so many occasions we think it's unlikely," said Clark.
"We made it clear to him the level of commitment that he would need to make. He said he was not prepared to do that so I'm not quite sure why he seems to still be telling the media that he's back in."
However, the admission that will most alarm the Rangers support came when Clark said: "We would have liked to have our new bidder in place prior to the end of the season. I think that is now looking unlikely but I think that there ought to be a new owner in place at the beginning of next season.
"Although it's been a very complex situation, enough is enough. I think, at least, we will still be able to save RFC and that's what we set out to do.
"The timing is unfortunate. It would have been preferable if it had been before the end of the season but there was not really much we could do about it."

Alpha Flight #8
- Story by
- Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak
- Art by
- Dale Eaglesham
- Colors by
- Jesus Aburtov
- Letters by
- Simon Bowland
- Cover by
- Carlo Pagulayan, Jason Paz, Leinil Yu, and Val Staples
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
Unless I miss my guess, this is the quickest that an "Alpha Flight" title has faded into history. Originally slated as an eight-issue miniseries springing from the "Fear Itself," this title was deemed worthy of consideration for an ongoing. After half of the issues had been published, that ongoing status was repealed.
Almost from the get-go this series seemed to stall. That might be attributable to the heavy connection it was giving to "Fear Itself," as the characters of this team had no panel time in the main event title. Or it may simply have been the wrong time to try to push Alpha Flight forward. Following the "Chaos War" tie-in issue that resurrected most of the team, the iron was hot and the Canadian characters were sought after, but something happened between that event and "Fear Itself."
This issue, almost predictably, puts the toys back into the toybox. Most of those toys, however, have marked signs of wear and tear from Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente. That wear and tear isn't simply destructive. Pak and Van Lente made some changes to some of these characters for the better, and some of those changes might be better undone. Regardless, the characters leave this series different from how they entered it. Unfortunately, I think it will be quite some time before this cast of characters gets touched again. When that does happen, it will be interesting to see which of Pak and Van Lente's changes stick.
Eaglesham's art throughout this issue is consistent with what has been in this book from the start. His heroes are heroic, his normal people are grounded in the scenes around them, and his surroundings are detailed and believable. Jesus Aburtov adds a great deal of texture to this issue through his colors. This issue is pretty, but not spectacular.
Closing this series out seems to have incurred some hasty conclusions. A blast from the Master's spacecraft apparently takes out Alpha Flight's saving grace, but that seemingly destroyed device is put into practice mere pages later. Additionally, the fates of more than a few of Alpha Strike are inconclusive. Pak, Van Lente and Eaglesham try to put a bow on this series, but they forgot to tape some of the wrapping paper down first.
This story could not have happened without "Fear Itself" to launch it, but it needed something else to keep it afloat. What should have been a resonating, emotional conclusion came through as more of a whispered "See you later." I'd like to see more of these characters, but they're going to need a little more electricity around them to get anyone's attention again. Who knows, maybe the next event — "Avengers Vs. X-Men" — has a role for this team. It would be nice to see these characters given another chance to continue to develop and earn a place in readers' hearts.

Slovak Immigration
Like America, Cleveland developed and grew as wave after wave of different immigrant groups arrived in the city at key times in the city's history. The Slovaks were one of those immigrant groups whose arrival in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had an important impact on the city's development and growth.
The Slovaks are a Slavic ethnic people who for over 1000 years--from 895 to 1918, constituted an ethnic minority in the kingdom of Hungary. For much of the twentieth century, the Slovaks were one-half of the Czechoslovak Republic. In 1993, the Slovaks separated from the Czechs and, for the first time in their history, achieved their own independent democratic state-- the Slovak Republic.
In the late nineteenth century, as the result of industrialization in Hungary and the rise of nationalism among different ethnic groups living in the kingdom of Hungary, Slovaks began immigrating in large numbers to the United States. It is unknown exactly how many Slovaks emigrated to America, because until approximately 1900, they were labeled as "Hungarians" by immigration authorities. However, during the years 1899 to 1914--the peak period of Slovak immigration to the United States, nearly 500,000 Slovaks--approximately twenty-five percent of the total population of Slovaks living in Hungary in 1910, arrived in America. So many of these immigrants came to northeast Ohio that by 1920 Cleveland had become home to the largest population of Slovak immigrants in the United States. In that same year the Cleveland suburb of Lakewood counted almost 4,000 Slovak immigrants residing within its city limits--almost 10 percent of the suburb's population.
Slovak immigrants settled in a number of neighborhoods on the west and east sides of Cleveland, usually close to concentrations of factories where many of them sought unskilled work. Thus, Slovak neighborhoods developed, for example, in the Buckeye Road neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland near iron works factories; in the Tremont neighborhood on the south side of Cleveland near the steel mills; and in Bird Town, a Union Carbide company town located in the Cleveland suburb of Lakewood. A number of the stories on this tour originated in these historic Slovak neighborhoods of Cleveland.

Reading the book combined with eating a chocolate cake make out of black beans led me to think about sauces, mayonnaises etc and whether there was a way to make them healthier (there's the tie in). The preservatives in a classic mayo must be verging on out of control. Also I'm becoming suspect of eating things where I can't tell what is in them (like tomato sauce...there are definitely no tomatoes in that stuff!) Anyway, back on to the topic, a while ago I made a pasta sauce that was mainly peas puréed and it was delicious. Tonight we had a bowl of cooked cold cauliflower in the fridge left over from the AFL BBQ (where my salad only made it to the half finished stage) and I thought it could be a chance to get out the stick mixer again for some more pureeing.
Quantities could be varied and if you don't want a garlicky flavour you could cook the garlic first (or use less):
3/4 cup cauliflower cooked (boiled/steamed) and chilled
1 clove of raw garlic crushed
20 g butter melted
Squeeze of lemon juice
Milk (a few dashes as required) to get creamy texture
S & P to season
Place all ingredients apart from the milk in food processor or in a bowl if stick mixing and blend. Add milk slowly until you get a thick slightly creamy texture.
Suggested tips: do not use the same fork/spoon that you use to scoop up the garlic to taste test. A big dose of raw garlic is a bit of a challenge!
We had it with a plate of stir fried veges and leftover chicken. The veges were stir fried with just olive oil and some salt and pepper (chicken not so healthy but whatever) and the CCP on the side (chilled). I tried and failed to do the swishing down the side of the plate so it just looked like a random cream coloured blobby sauce snaking around the plate. Tasted good though.
1. Heated as a sauce (pasta, gnocchi maybe with veg?) although WB has clarified that it wouldn't be like a regular pasta sauce since it's not as creamy - buyer beware.
2. On salad as a dressing
3. Heated on its own as a mashed potato replacement.
4. Topping to a steak - replacement for something like mushroom sauce
5. A layer in a lasagne
6. As a dip with Kale chips (Gwyneth Paltrow-esque)
6. As a dip with Kale chips (Gwyneth Paltrow-esque)
7. With crackers and cheese...
Of course we taste tested the crackers and cheese with CCP combo (right) and although it doesn't have much going for it in the looks department it was delicious. Rated a "very good" from WB. I reckon with a bit of chopped parsley stirred through that would be a winner.
The Kale chips and CCP dip would definitely be a good combo. With the raw garlic, cauli and Kale you would basically be getting healthier just by eating it. Funnily enough a search of Gwyneth Paltrow (to see how her name was spelt) brings up a recipe for Gwynnie's Kale chips.
So that's it. The best thing about this is that it would be super cheap to make in bulk - if you can get a cauliflower for under $2 the rest of the ingreds will probably be around the kitchen so that's a $2.00 sauce if you used it as a pasta sauce (noting creaminess comment above) with 0% preservatives - Jamie Oliver would be proud.

OLD BASFORD: Where the grease and groove of early ZZ Top and Little Feat are welded to the 12 cylinder engine of hardcore nineties rock, you will find Old Basford sweating out their dirt in the urban swamps of inner city Nottingham. A 4-piece of deep grooves and ferocious mood swings, reminding you of a time when rock didn't have full body waxing. When the influences of a band stretched beyond the newly-bought lifestyle of a t-shirt, this year's tattoo/piercing and the revisionist namedropping of so many new bands. Old Basford are the real thing. Schizo vocals: smooth falsetto to primal roars. Bubbling basslines interweaving between the razor guitars while the drums lock and unleash the band's unique power. As the Blues revival rolls on in full swing, Old Basford are the right band at the right time. Their music carries the authenticity of days gone by, but their sound makes them contenders in the arena NOW! If you've heard The White Stripes or Queens of the Stone Age you'll know that this isn't the blues wheel being reinvented; this is a fresher, reinvigorated take on the sound that launched and sustains all popular music. The vital boogie of Old Basford is what you need: what we all need......... ...

On Wednesdays during the academic year, our congregation gathers for Wednesday Night Alive! During the weekly schedule, all children are invited to participate in music instruction, enabling them to be life-long worshipers and expressive of our thanks and praise to God through music. The children meet in sessions as follows:
- Infant Music Explorers: Infants (0-1 year) with a parent or another adult begin to discover their musical selves with movement, rhythmic and tonal exploration, and music as self-expression. The infant group meets Wednesdays (5:45-6:15) in Room 109.
- Junior Music Explorers: Toddlers (2-3 years old) with a parent or another adult continue to discover their musical abilities. The toddlers meet Wednesdays (6:15-6:45) in Room 109.
- Music Explorers: Preschool children (4-5 year olds) with a parent or another adult continue discovering musical gifts, especially their voices, with the help of rhythm instruments. The melodies of Christian worship are learned so that the children recognize their place in the worshiping assembly. The preschoolers meet Wednesdays (5:45-6:15) in Room 006.

What is the advanced certificate equivalent to nowadays??
As the above question? I passed my advanced certificate in 1992 about a year after my grade 8. There appears to be no refernce to this exam on the abrsm website and i'm intrigued!
Re: What is the advanced certificate equivalent to nowadays?
The advanced certificate was replaced by the DipABRSM and you would get those letters after your name. Not sure whether your qualification would be entitled to letters but you probably should check with ABRSM.

YouTube is is the most valuable source when it comes to driving traffic to a weblog or website. Most people often waste precious money on adwords and other Traffic driving services when the most cheapest and easiest source of traffic lies secretly in growing social websites. An example of one such free traffic generating source is no doubt YouTube. If you have observed the search results on Google carefully then you might have noticed that no matter what you search for, Google often displays results from two major sources i,e Wikipedia and YouTube. There is indeed a great advantage for those who wish to significantly increase there website traffic and today I will share one important trick of driving continuous and targeted Traffic from this Giant video Broadcasting service i.e YouTube
How Can You Drive Huge Flow Of Traffic From YouTube?
The Answer is simple, start broadcasting your Blog Posts on YouTube! Yes you heard it right! Let me explain it now.
Last year I tried every possible Traffic resource in order to multiply the number of unique visitors to MBT but most methods were often hectic and required great deal of time. I am sure you have tried linkreferral or EntreCard and you know how often do we get angry when after having worked so hard the Traffic that we receive from them appears insufficient and non-targeted (Irrelevant visitors) So then I started experimented with some sources which worked wonders and one of these Magic wands was YouTube. What I did was creating videos of every post that I would publish. I did not create more than 8 videos but the Traffic from them was and is plausible. If I had kept on recording more and more videos then I am sure the Traffic that I receive today would have been thrice with no exaggeration. But due to lack of time I often fail to achieve many great opportunities..
I will share some easy steps by applying which you will be able to make a video of all your blog posts within 1-2 minutes. First kindly see the sample video below as an example,
You might have observed that I simply added a background music and then started simple recording of the post. We really don't need high quality videos for this purpose as we just want the viewer to visit our blog after having seen the video so keeping the video short and straight is what we aim for.
How To create Videos of Blog Posts and Share it on YouTube?
The method is simple. Kindly do the following,
- Download CamStudio Video Recorder From camstudio.org
- Install CamStudio
- Then view the video below to know how to adjust your camStudio settings for quality recording.
4. After having understood the proper use of CamStudio simply jump at your Blog post and start Recording. Your Purpose is to provide the viewer with quick answer to his problem so keep the video short with following points in mind,
- Start recording from your Blog header and then move to Post title and then move slowly till the end of your post.
- Turn on your media player at the background while recording. This will make the video interesting.
- After you have reached the end of your post then display a short ending message to the viewer as shown below,
Note:- You can use our image. Simply right Click it and click "Save Image as"
See the video below
5. Now Upload your video to YouTube using your Google Account
6. Keep the Video Title as your Post title
7. Add your Post link to the description and then finally hit Save.
8. View your video to see if it is working fine.
Multiply the Traffic Even Further!
Once you have created your video then it would not be very time consuming if you submit your videos to metacafe and dailymotion. This surely makes sense and has helped a lot of people in reaching a desired Traffic target. One of the biggest reasons why some people receive huge flow of traffics is the use of proper media. Digg, Stumble Upon, Delicious have helped people but personally I find them more time consuming and less effective these days (My personal opinion).
So people its time to Broadcast your blogs! Good luck! =d

by Ana Prundaru
after his death, you inherit the pond ghosts
who trace a cord around the moon
make a double knot around her belly
that way the moon lines the road thick yellow
indignant lungs in December
wet lipped from sacramental wine
at home, you eat prayers with vodka,
letting them rot between your teeth
suffer through tone-deaf words at church
scrub away blessings till they evaporate
you want away from the swampy existence
drive off into numberless green
oddly, you start praying again
pray he'll never see you like this
and then you pray he will
* * *Ana Prundaru is the author of the forthcoming chapbook "Unstable Tales", by Dancing Girl Press. Her work appears in Ghost City Review, Kyoto Journal, Hermeneutic Chaos and others.
What inspires you to write and keep writing?
My main source of inspiration comes from communication. Discussions of current events, or even light conversations over coffee awaken the need to uncover personal philosophies, prejudices or beliefs. What keeps me going ultimately is attempting to capture and shape my identity and place in the world by articulating facets of my inner life and connecting them with reflections on the outer life.

Review: SPECIAL FEATURES is like the bonus features on a DVD series collection, but it's for the Deaconverse. The universe of Deacon Chalk, that is – Bad-a$$ occult bounty hunter extraordinaire who is willing to go where no other can and live to tell about it. There are some short stories, a trailer script, an alternate ending, sneak peek, interviews, an interesting recipe, and interactions between Deacon and James (the author). Some of the items had been feature before on some great blogs and some are brand new to this collection. I loved the short stories, especially "Dolly" and "The Ravenous".

Those who did not support the Constitution came to be known as Anti-Federalists or 'states-rights men' and their most notable representative was Patrick Henry (who had refused to attend the Convention because of his suspicion of it, declaring "I smell a rat, tending toward monarchy"). Others included George Clinton, Richard Henry Lee and Mercy Otis Warren, the female chronicler. Thomas Jefferson was also sharply critical of the Constitution, though he actively supported some parts of it, and later explained that he was not fully Anti-Federalist but somewhere between the two positions.
As a group, Anti-Federalists were concerned about several issues. They feared that sovereignty, autonomy and states' rights would be trampled by the newly-empowered national government. They argued that over time the power and influence of the states would be eroded or 'drained' by the federal government. They worried that the centralisation of power would put control into the hands of an urban-based elite. They expressed concern that the president, with control of the army, might become a military dictator ("[the presidency] would be a foetus of monarchy!" said Edmund Randolph). They feared the separation of powers in the Constitution was not strong enough or distinct enough. They panicked about the possible implications for personal liberties like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the right to worship freely, which to many Americans had been the real driving issue behind the revolution.
Jackson T. Main, historian
Unlike their opposition the Anti-Federalists did not engage in a co-ordinated and sustained propaganda barrage. While the Federalist Papers appeared as 85 single editions, published regularly and with clear arguments and tone, the Anti-Federalists wrote sporadically, using pseudonyms such as Cato, Federal Farmer, Centinel and Brutus. The quality of their pamphlets did not approach those of the Federalists. Intellectually outgunned and lacking a figurehead leader such as Washington, the Anti-Federalists were not able to convince enough of their cause, though they enjoyed plenty of support, particularly in the larger states and in the south. Some Americans saw the flaws in both sides and supported neither the federalist or anti-federalist points-of-view. The picture shown here, The Looking Glass for 1787: A House Divided against itself cannot Stand, shows the two camps pulling the state of Connecticut apart with their constant bickering and equivocation.
