A new poll
It's been a long time since I've posted anything on this blog. There's been a lot of garbage going on in politics, especially the advent of the Tea-Party movement or as I call it the Tea-Bag movement. My own state of Kentucky is a battleground for that movement with our U.S. Senate race between Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Dr. Rand Paul, backed by the Tea-Baggers and son of Ron Paul, libertarian Republican from Texas.
They're calling for the tax reductions to apply to the wealthiest . The problem roads have to get paved, schools have to be built the military has to be maintained etc. The Republicans want to put into play tax cuts for the wealthier members of our nation, stating that this money can be used to create more jobs. The trickle down or supply side economics theory doesn't work, regardless of what the Reaganites said. Heck, even Reagan's chief economic advisor later said it was trickle down economics.
If one follows our nation's history, one can see, when similar paths are followed economically, speaking, it pushes our country into recessions, depressions and panics. Will Rogers described it "money was all appropriated for the top in hopes that it would trickle down to the needy." The problem is that over the last 10 years, the people living at or below the poverty level has increase substantially, they're less jobs available, people who are working are making less money and the wealthiest 5% or so still control about 80-90% of the resources in this country. That's a massive disconnect that's getting worse.
A quote mentioned in wikipedia reference is quite relevant today, "There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests up on them." This was from William Jennings Bryan during his legendary "Cross of Gold" speech.
What continues to compound this problem is President Obama continues to rely on private industry to bring our country out of the recession and it's not going to work that way. Roosevelt didn't bring us out of the Great Depression by waiting for businesses to bail us out. He got people working with the various programs. Obama, as do many people in Washington need to realize they need to work on the lowest rungs economically if they wish to strengthen the country and society as a whole. It's the only way we'll fly and history supports this.
I'm going to start posting again because I just can't sit idly by and continue to see our country turn even more into a nation of "Every Man For Himself."

Rockwell arrives at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California in his limousine. The crowd of fans call his name and surround the car. A twentysomething woman puts her hands on his chest as he walks to the entrance. A clerk tells him, “good evening, Mr. Rockwell. You’ve received a lot of calls but no one left a message.” Rockwell rings the bell. The bellboy takes his luggage.
He tips the bell boy as a second twentysomething woman calls him on the phone. While he sits on the bed, he answers, saying “hello” and she breathes into the receiver. She lies on the silk sheets, her finger entwined with the cord as he exclaims. “who is this?” Rockwell plays the violin. He stands on a checkered floor, entangled in cords.
Against a black background, a twentysomething man and a second twentysomething woman talk on the phone. The bell boy delivers a phone to Rockwell on a tray. Rockwell lies on a float in the pool. A thirtysomething man, a security guard, grins as he passes Rockwell. A third twentysomething woman licks a phone. A fiftysomething man waves his finger at her.
The twentysomething woman, dressed as a bellboy, closes the door of a room in the hotel. He leaves his room and sighs. As he walks on the first floor, he sees twentysomething women crossing their legs as they talk on the phone. They stand up and stare at him. The twentysomething woman opens the door of his room and takes off her glove. She blinks and changes into her clothes. He turns his head in shock. The phone rings again.
Rockwell lounges by the pool. Some bushes rustle by him and he sits up, turning his head. He grabs his knife. It could be his stalker. A squirrel runs out to the closest tree. Rockwell sighs and rubs his forehead. Every little noise was startling him. He didn’t know if he could live scared much longer. Something had to be done.
The fortysomething man writes down what Rockwell drank and how long he slept. Rockwell had been drinking quite a bit of liquor during his stay. Perhaps he’ll have to intervene. The problem needed to be nipped in the bud. Rockwell had his entire future in front of him.
Rockwell answers the phone. It was the fortysomething man, saying he’ll be up. Security caught an unauthorized person hanging out by his room. Rockwell says he’s so grateful. The fortysomething man unlocks the door of Rockwell’s door. Rockwell thanks him again. The fortysomething man instructs Rockwell to stay where he is at and locks the door. The security guard says he’s his biggest fan and demands to know why he has ignored him. Rockwell scans the room and thinks of a hiding place. The bathroom was a few feet away.

The Ten Greatest Heavyweight Fights of All Time - Part One
15.06.07 - By Scott Crouse: We’ve recently been reminded once again of the abysmal and dreadfully dull state of today’s heavyweight division. It’s become a painfully monotonous pattern that after every heavyweight fight we are left disappointed, frustrated, and yearning for heavyweights who fight like they actually give a damn.
Article posted on 16.06.2007
Whether the future will deliver such fighters only time--and a great deal of patience--will tell. In the meantime, while we obsess over such a future we can remember the past, enjoying the fights and fighters who took pride in their ring-performances and understood their role as warriors and entertainers, and much like the ancient gladiators fought in such a way as to “win the crowd,” not put them to sleep.
The following is my top ten list of those crowd-winning fights--the greatest heavyweight fights of all time. Throughout this article I use the term ‘greatest’ to mean primarily ‘most entertaining‘. I don’t mean the most significant or most celebrated so there’s no Louis vs. Schmeling, or Dempsey vs. Tunney. My focus is on those fights that were so brutally unforgettable that they registered a permanent impression on those who watched them and left no fan feeling empty and unsatisfied. Also, please remember these are merely my opinions based upon the fights I’ve seen and/or read about.
Every boxing fan sees a particular fight through his own eyes and forms his own opinion, so I expect some disagreement with some of the fights I’ve chosen or where I’ve ranked them. Argument is better than apathy, so your comments are welcome.
10. Floyd Patterson KO6 Ingemar Johansson: March 13, 1961.
This thrilling ring-war was the rubber match between these two, each of whom owned a knockout victory over the other. Johansson had won their first meeting in 1959 by lowering “The Hammer of Thor”--otherwise known as his right hand--upon the head of Patterson, knocking him down seven times in the third round, forcing referee Ruby Goldstein to stop the one-sided “hammering.”
Their second fight took place almost one year later and this time Patterson, humiliated by his defeat at the fists of the Swede the first time around, turned the tables in a manner that couldn’t have been more definitive. A titanic and perfectly timed left hook left Johansson lying on the canvas in round five, his leg twitching uncontrollably in a chilling display of power and personal vengeance. This victory gave Patterson two impressive records: not only had he been the youngest heavyweight champion in history, but now he had become the only former heavyweight champ to regain his title. With history already attained the third fight was simply to settle a score.
Not since the grudge fight between Tony Zale and Rocky Graziano thirteen years before had the hype prior to a fight been so full of violent expectations. Given that the first two fights were loaded with action and concluded with devastating knockouts it was only logical to expect the third to be as evenly fought and dramatically concluded--the only question was, who would have his hand raised when the fury ended?
Those who hoped for fireworks got their wish almost immediately in round one as they witnessed one of the most exciting rounds in heavyweight history. Johansson knocked Patterson flat on his back with, what else, his right hand, painfully reminding Floyd of the damage “Toonder” inflicted in their first fight. Patterson got up quickly but was just as quickly floored again, this time by Johansson’s overlooked and often underused left hand set up by another thunderous right. The fight was looking very much like their first encounter when Floyd suddenly unleashed hell in the form of a left hook dropping Johansson and sending him--and everyone watching--the message that all similarities to their first fight were now over.
Although the rest of the fight couldn’t match the explosiveness of the first round it was still savagely fought, both men throwing punches designed to give the ringside judges an early night off. By the end of the third round these punches had opened cuts over the left eyes of both fighters. Entering the sixth it was still anybody’s fight until a left from Patterson followed by a well-placed right hit Johansson high on the side of his head. It didn’t look as powerful as the other punches Johansson had taken for five-and-a-half rounds, but it landed in the perfect spot and Ingo’s legs were gone. He struggled to stand up, but couldn’t beat the referee’s count giving Patterson the fight and the knockout victory in the best fight of their classic trilogy.
9. Larry Holmes W15 Ken Norton: June 8, 1978.
It’s a travesty this ring classic was overshadowed at the time by Muhammad Ali’s two fights with Leon Spinks because it was far better than either of them and one of the most exciting heavyweight fights of all time.
Ken Norton was almost thirty-five years old and a true ring veteran having fought for over ten years against the very best of a heavyweight division considered by historians as the greatest ever. After Leon Spinks upset Ali for his title he refused to give Norton a shot, opting instead for a more lucrative rematch with Ali. The WBC, in one of their earliest moves of imbecility, stripped Spinks of their version of the heavyweight title. They awarded it to Norton and mandated that he make his first defense against a promising and undefeated heavyweight from Easton, PA.
Larry Holmes, a former sparring partner of Ali, earned his title fight with Norton when he surprised many by soundly outpointing the powerfully built and menacing Ernie Shavers over twelve rounds. His victory set the stage for a fight which, although underrated at the time, gave the boxing world one of its greatest battles.
Holmes controlled the early rounds with his rapier-like left jab and deadly accurate right hands. He built an early lead but Norton was just getting warmed up. In the middle rounds the man who broke Ali’s jaw and knocked out Duane Bobick in less than one (the same Bobick who ended Holmes’ Olympic dreams in the 1972 Olympic Box-Offs) began to find the range with his overhand right to Holmes’ jaw bloodying his mouth and rudely welcoming Holmes to his first championship fight.
The fight had the makings of a classic throughout, but it was the fifteenth round that earned it a place as one of history’s greatest. Going into the final round the fight was even on all three judges’ scorecards. Fourteen hard-fought rounds had now, appropriately, come down to just one. Holmes landed monstrous rights and uppercuts, while Norton battered Holmes with his left hook and overhand right. They stood toe-to-toe trading punches in what would be considered fake if seen in a Hollywood movie. In the end, Holmes edged Norton on two of the judges’ scorecards and earned a split decision along with the title. Although the title had been villainously stripped from Spinks it was valiantly earned by Holmes in this classic fight.
8. Rocky Marciano KO13 Jersey Joe Walcott: September 23, 1952.
To say that Jersey Joe Walcott was a ring veteran would be like saying Sugar Ray Robinson had a pretty good career. He had been fighting for twenty-two years and had finally won the heavyweight championship in his fifth attempt against Ezzard Charles on July 18, 1951. In a foreboding of how he would ultimately lose the title he knocked Charles out with one devastating left hand in the seventh round--“live by the sword, die by the sword,” it’s been said.
To Walcott’s thirty-eight years, Marciano was merely a pup at twenty-nine. With an impressive record of 42-0, and 37 kayos, Marciano lacked Walcott’s vast experience but possessed something Walcott had long lost--invulnerability. Marciano had never tasted defeat and would spend the rest of his career battling savagely to keep it that way.
On September 23, 1952, at Municipal Stadium, Philadelphia, over forty thousand fans filled the arena in anticipation of a good fight. What they saw was downright spectacular. Giving away two inches in height, twelve inches in weight, and nothing in heart, Rocky went after Walcott right at the opening bell. But if he thought he might catch the champion off guard it was Marciano who was surprised as Walcott gave as furiously as he received. Less than a minute into the round Jersey Joe hit the onrushing Marciano with a clean left hook, sending his challenger to the seat of his trunks for the first time in his career. More embarrassed than hurt, Rocky got back up and went again at Walcott displaying the iron-will and imperviousness to pain which would be the trademark of his soon-to-begin title reign.
The champion dominated the middle rounds, rocking Rocky on numerous occasions and drawing blood from his scalp and the bridge of his nose. Marciano never stopped moving forward, throwing and landing punches to whatever part of the body he could--the arms, shoulders, and midsection--eventually cutting Walcott around his left eye and ensuring that the blood being spilled on the canvas wasn’t just his own.
After twelve merciless and unyielding rounds, the champ had a comfortable lead on all three judges’ scorecards. If Marciano was to win the title he would have to knock the champion out--a champion who up to this point was fighting one of the best fights of his seventy-fight career.
The thirteenth round began with Marciano stalking Walcott as he had for most of the fight, but now with a greater sense of urgency. At the forty-three second mark of the round as Walcott’s back touched the ropes, he tried to throw his patented sneaky left hook, but all the arm and body punches he had taken slowed him down just enough for Rocky to beat him to the punch and detonate a perfectly-timed straight right hand to his chin. It was called by the Associated Press, “the hardest punch ever thrown in world championship boxing” and it was beautiful even in its brutality. The now ex-champ slumped to the canvas, his left arm draped over the ropes and his head touching the floor almost in a symbolic position of obeisance, bowing to his mighty conqueror and the new king of the division.
The punch that ended the fight was one of the most explosive in ring history. It was what Marciano called his “Suzy Q,” although I’m sure Walcott had a few other names for it, none of them printable. It was one of the most dramatic endings to one of the most entertaining fights in history in any weight class.
7. James J. Corbett KO27 Joe Choynski: June 5, 1889.
Don’t let the nickname “Gentleman” Jim fool you; he was anything but a gentleman in the ring, especially when it came to battling perennial contender and perpetual thorn-in-the-side Joe Choynski. When they fought their twenty-seven round war in the second of their three “grudge” fights--for the rancor between them was so great that every time they met in the ring it was considered a grudge fight--it was behavior anything but befitting a gentleman.
Corbett and Choynski had but a handful of fights between them when they first met on May 30, 1889, in a barn near Fairfax, California. The bout was stopped in the fourth round by the local sheriff but resumed six days later on a barge anchored off Benicia in the San Francisco Bay. Although technically a resumption of their first encounter it was recognized as their second fight and became famously known as “the battle on the barge.”
The action was fast and furious from the very beginning as Choynski went right at Corbett with the intention of hurting his rival from the outset. Joe was aware that Corbett had seriously injured his right thumb in their abbreviated fight in the barn a week ago and fought in a way that might take advantage of the injury. Corbett responded by using his left repeatedly to bloody Choynski’s face over the first two rounds.
Undeterred, Joe kept coming forward. The fight turned temporarily in his favor when Corbett broke his left hand in the third round and re-injured his right thumb in the fourth. In addition to this, Choynski was wearing buckskin gloves which had three heavy seams going down the back of each. Every time he hit Corbett he left three red welts on his face and body which soon opened up and left him a bloody mess.
In the fourteenth round, Choynski rocked Corbett with a tremendous left that caused his right eye and cheekbone to swell and momentarily had him out on his feet to the degree that Corbett’s brother, Harry, ran to the other side of the barge and proceeded to cry over what he believed to be his vanquished sibling.
But “Gentleman” Jim was not vanquished, nor would he be on this day. Choynski was exhausted and Corbett took advantage bloodying the face of his opponent so badly that they both were slipping around the deck in the blood. By the middle of the fight several spectators had to turn away, visibly nauseous from the gore and the referee on more than one occasion asked the fighters to quit and accept a draw. But this rivalry was so intense and full of malice that both fighters professed a desire to die rather than give in.
Although Choynski appeared outwardly the worse of the two, it was anybody’s fight up until the moment it ended in the twenty-seventh round when Corbett, himself virtually out on his feet and unable to raise either hand, let a left hook fly with every ounce of energy he had left. The punch, thrown almost blindly and in desperation, landed precisely on Choynski’s jaw and floored him for the count of ten.
Corbett could hardly believe what had happened and, due to his extreme fatigue, had to ask his manager, Billy Delaney, what had just taken place. “You knocked him out, Jim,” Delaney responded. Delaney, who would also manage heavyweight champion Jim Jeffries, would later declare that this fight was the hardest he had ever seen. Corbett himself described the fight as “agony…almost beyond human endurance.”
Choynski would go on to fight many of the top heavyweights of the day, including Bob Fitzsimmons, Tom Sharkey, Jim Jeffries, and future champ Jack Johnson in 1901, whom he knocked out in three rounds. Corbett went on to even greater things becoming the first and only man to defeat the legendary John L. Sullivan and winning the heavyweight championship of the world in 1892. But even that accomplishment pales compared to the magnificently brutal “battle on the barge.”
6. Joe Frazier W15 Muhammad Ali: March 8, 1971.
If this list were about the most enthusiastically hyped heavyweight fights the first Ali-Frazier battle would be number one. Never in the history of boxing has a fight been as eagerly anticipated by fans and as profoundly and immediately rewarding to those fans as this classic. Billed as “The Fight of the Century,” it more than lived up to it.
The fight was scheduled for March 8, 1971, at Madison Square Garden and was a boxing fan’s dream. You had two vastly talented and undefeated heavyweights both claiming to be the rightful champion. This fight would finally determine who was the best heavyweight in the world and clear up once and for all the confusing heavyweight title picture left a mess when Ali was deposed for refusing induction into the military.
The arena was filled with over twenty-thousand screaming, ravenous fans and celebrities. The atmosphere was electrically charged with the apprehension of something breath-taking and earth-shattering about to happen. The feverish crowd got its money’s worth as soon as the bell rang as Frazier went right at his man throwing his lethal left hooks with deadly determination and backing Ali with his constant pressure. For his part, Ali scored well in the early rounds hitting Frazier with combinations and throwing his punches flat-footed, straining to put every ounce of his career high 215 pounds into them. Frazier, at a trim 205 pounds, was undaunted even with a face that was rapidly swelling from Ali’s lightning-quick barrages.
Frazier’s tidal wave-like relentlessness and bull-like aggressiveness were taking their toll on Ali, although he tried to hide it by smiling, talking, posturing and shaking his head every time the champ hit him cleanly--which was often. Going into the later rounds it was a fairly even fight, with Frazier landing big left hooks to Ali’s head and body, the power of which had destroyed twenty-three of twenty-six prior opponents, and Ali responding with solid two, three, and four-punch combinations to Frazier’s head which would have stopped a less determined foe. But on this particular night Smokin’ Joe was unstoppable and he finally rocked Ali in the eleventh with a monstrous left hook, followed by several other damaging blows, which had the former champ reeling and unsteady on his feet.
Although Ali fought back bravely, Frazier had the momentum now and solidified his impressive victory with a smashing left hook in the fifteenth which put Ali on his back with over two-and-a-half minutes remaining in the round. The crowd went into a frenzy as Frazier viciously and unsympathetically tried to finish Ali for good. But Ali, jaw broken and grotesquely swollen, would demonstrate that beneath the playful exterior was a heart of solid steel. He not only finished the fight on his feet, but was throwing punches up until the final bell.
Joe Frazier won the unanimous decision and became the universally recognized heavyweight champion of the world. This incredible fight would be the highlight of Joe’s career and the night which cemented his all-time status as one of history’s greatest heavyweights. It would also be remembered as one of those rare occasions in boxing history where the action in the ring surpassed the pre-fight hysteria and gave the fans a reason to believe they had witnessed something extraordinary and utterly unforgettable.

Chicks Specially Prone To Negative Emotional Aftereffects
Moms and dads and health care professionals should assist adolescents plan and address the behavior attached with sex, say Sonya Brady, PhD, and Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, PhD.
Both professionals work on the college of California, san francisco bay area.
These people studied a varied list of 273 intimately active children at two California public institutes.
The students, 56percent of whom comprise ladies, all reported getting had genital and/or dental gender by spring season of tenth grad.
Of this people, 116 mentioned they’d got just dental sex, 43 stated that they had had best genital sexual intercourse, and 114 stated they’d received both.
Implications From Child Sexual Intercourse
Towards study, students finished studies every half a year between 9th and tenth score towards outcomes these people experienced from sex.
Overall, the teenagers noted constructive problems — like excitement, reputation, and tougher interactions.
But a significant proportion noted negative problems such as experience used, conceiving a child, contracting an intimately transmitted infection, or experiencing awful about by themselves.
Those revealing 1 damaging effects provided 31per cent of those who experienced had best dental intercourse, 58per cent of those who experienced received only genital gender, and virtually 62per cent of those who got have both.
Babes are furthermore greater than thrice as more likely to state these people sensed put as a result of sexual intercourse.
Those findings may partially stem from community’s two fold expectations about love.
„These results are generally in keeping with study expressing that guys should preferably become sexually skilled, whereas babes should preferably control sexual tendencies,” the scientists compose.
Men had been very likely to talk about the company’s success increased once they turned out to be sexually energetic.
Nonetheless happened to be also more likely to document a maternity or intimately transmissible disease due to their own sexual practice.
The explanations for anyone discoveries are certainly not obvious. The young men could have want Spanish Sites dating site review been more sexually productive, got more business partners or unsafe sex, or been even more ready admit those consequences, claim the researchers.
Teenagers may need assist in coping with the thoughts that surround love-making, the experts say.
These people promote medical researchers and various other grown ups to chat with adolescents „about how precisely options to take part in virtually any sexual activity own essential effect.”
The study features controls. For instance, it is not evident if the information apply at all intimately energetic 9th and tenth rank children.
In addition, the reports didn’t mark the recorded result as good or bad; the experts labeled risks as glowing or unfavorable without teen input.
„We do not determine whether risks comprise thought to be positive or damaging by teenagers,” write Brady and Halpern-Felsher.
If the kid are display signs and symptoms of depression, you may find yourself wondering be it ‚just a phase’ or something serious. Generally, three youth in almost every class are affected by psychological disorder like melancholy. Numerous move undiscovered rather than attain the assist needed. Mental health damage lead to more very early deaths than either coronary disease or cancers. Lots of youngsters become especially at risk of depression, caused by the large range biologic and societal variations transpiring within lifetime, along with other factors like funds headaches and families failure. It can be hard for people to know whether a baby’s moody or miserable actions is actually a sign of things much more serious.
“It’s never clear with young adults when they are frustrated,” says Dr Arthur Cassidy, psychologist in the Belfast Institute, exactly who deals with kids with melancholy. “Retreating to the bed room for many hours are standard, but in the case they truly are remove and appear disconnected using their relatives too it would be a sign of anxiety.” While luckily situation of critical anxiety in kids become relatively uncommon (YoungMinds says 1.4% or just around 62,000 11-16 year-olds tend to be seriously discouraged) – it’s very important to mother to recognise the clues and learn when you should need the help of her GP or a helpline.

Most helpful positive review

If you've heard, Beware...
on 17 April 2007
This is one addictive listen. I haven't repeat listened to anything so much in years (not even their first album, and that is saying something)
This album is a huge step forward that I'll bet alot of people didn't expect from the band. Far from cracking under the pressure the Arctic Monkeys have delivered one heck of a strong album, an effort to be proud of.
Songs like 'Teddy Picker,' and 'Balaclava,' give listeners what they've came to expect from the band, with jaunty riffs, brash chords and their unique brand of lyrical genius (fans will know what I mean)
And songs like 'Only Ones Who Know,' display a melancholy ballad-ry like 'No Buses,' or 'Riot Van.'
A special mention is also in order for drummer Matt Helders who's skill has improved exponentially, impressive considering most people would already say he's the most talented member. The fills on this record are awesome, and his technical disco meets rock swagger style fits the album very well.
The stand out songs are the energetic 'This House is a Circus,' the chilled out '505,' and the aforementioned 'Teddy Picker.'
Buy this right now, you won't hear a better album this year; its basically still the Arctic Monkeys sound, but executed and produced much better, a mature and professional version of the raw and lovable debut.

Customers made more than 120,000 complaints to water firms in a year, a new report reveals.
The total of 123,218 written complaints received by companies between April 1 2013 and March 31 this year is the equivalent of more than 300 every day.
More than half were about billing and charges matters, the Consumer Council for Water (CCWater) said.
However, the total complaints tally fell by 18% compared to 2012/13.
Labour will bring in a new deal for water companies that avoid corporation tax on their profits the new shadow Environment Secretary has said.
Maria Eagle said it should be compulsory for firms to offer lower bills for poorer households in a national affordability scheme and revealed she would be investigating whether Ofwat has enough powers to deal with water firms, in an interview with the Yorkshire Post newspaper.
Ms Eagle claimed water firms were spending too much effort on engineering their finances to avoid paying tax on their profits, and not enough time on helping customers struggling to pay their bills.
"I think we've got to look at having a new deal with the water companies. I will be developing this over the next period of time. It's got to have something to say about tax - you routinely have them avoiding corporation tax on the profits they generate."
Ofwat's decision to reject Thames Waters' bid to increase prices by 8% is final, but Thames Water could appeal to the Competition Commission.
The company said: "We will review the decision carefully before deciding on our next steps."
Water regulator Ofwat has rejected a bid by Thames Water for an additional price hike for 2014 to 2015 of 8%.
We said we would challenge Thames' application, in the interests of customers. We did just that and on the evidence provided we are not convinced that an extra bill increase is justified.
Water regulator Ofwat has turned down Thames Water's application for an additional price increase for 2014 to 2015.
Ofwat says it was for Thames Water to justify the proposed 8% increase was in customers’ interests.
Within the three month timescale for assessing the application, the water regulator found the evidence the company submitted did not justify its proposed £29 additional increase in customers' bills.
Ofwat’s decision means the maximum that Thames can add to customers’ bills for 2014-15 is still 1.4% above inflation, as set in the 2009 price review.

However she loves to bite hands/feet/trousers/sleeves and it is driving me mad. I've tried different strategies but nothing seems to work. If I ignore her she just keeps on doing it until she bites so hard that I have no choice than to scream and drag her off. If I drag her off she just keeps on coming back to bite again. I sometimes manages to distract her by giving her a toy to bite on but somehow that seems to encourage her since she knows if she bites she gets a toy etc. We have given her lots of things to chew on so she isn't lacking in material. Any advice? Never had a puppy before so I don't know what to expect.

Strengthening Families Program
The Strengthening Families Program (SFP) is a nationally and internationally recognized 14 week parenting and family strengthening program for high-risk and regular families. SFP is an evidence-based family skills training program found to significantly reduce problem behaviors, delinquency, and alcohol and drug abuse in children and to improve social competencies and school performance. Child maltreatment also decreases as parents strengthen bonds with their children and learn more effective parenting skills.
The program offers a unique component here in Olathe. Pathway partners with another Olathe church, Christ the Servant, -and with government agencies- adult corrections and juvenile corrections-in hosting the training at the Commons. The teachers are from the government agencies as well as the churches. Pathway provides the space and hosts. The program begins with all eight families and volunteers sharing a meal together around a common table. This simple act of eating together begins to build bonds in the family. The role of Pathway is not only providing the space, but also providing table host. The table host is simply asked to be hospitable to the participating family and help facilitate a safe space for the family.
The SFP attempts to bring renewal and restoration to families in crisis while also trying to prevent future family problems; values Pathway embraces. SFP is part of our mission in serving the city. We believe this is an excellent way to live out our different S.T.O.R.I.E.S.

Deraman, K. and Sakrani, S. and Ismail, B. (1994) Evaporated SnS semiconducting thin films. Proceeding of Second International Conference on Thin Film Physics and Application, 2364 . pp. 357-361.

Evaporated tin sulphide thin films (SnS) have been prepared onto glass substrates maintained at fixed temperatures in the range 50-300 degree(s)C and controlled film thicknesses. The films are nonstoichiometric, containing both SnS and its higher derivative compounds with different compositions. X-ray results showed that SnS was initially formed at 100 degree(s)C, accumulating and eventually became a stable compound at a substrate temperature, Ts of 300 degree(s)C. Observation on SEM micrographs revealed the existence of nonoriented film structures at low Ts and compacted crystalline structures at Ts equals 300 degree(s)C with the associated change in grain sizes from 0.1 to 1.2 micrometers . Film conductivity increased from 0.62 to 2.54 Sm-1 with increasing substrate temperature. The low temperature measurements showed that the films underwent hopping and free band conduction at temperatures lower and higher than 220 K, respectively. A further investigation on the film's transmittance spectrum shows the dependent of optical bandgaps (1.26-1.07 eV) with substrate temperatures; these were attributed to the changes in the film's compositions.

Robust offshore operations thanks to anti-jamming technology
Creating land for the future, is the slogan here at DEME and this is thanks in part to the accuracy and robustness of Septentrio’s GNSS receivers.
Commercial marine dredging operations are essential to keep busy waterways and harbours always open for international trade. However, these operations were significantly impacted by radio transmissions, used for military exercises, which were ‘leaking’ into GNSS signals around the commercial waterways. The result: major periodic in-band interference, knocking out the complete L2 band (both for GPS and GLONASS) on all commercial receivers every 7 seconds for a few hundred milliseconds.
With the activation of Advanced Interference Mitigation (AIM+) countermeasures in both land-based and ship-based receivers, all of the in-band interference was filtered out from the GPS and GLONASS L2 bands. This resulted in high-quality GNSS signals being available for the high accuracy real-time positioning needed for dredging operations.
Advanced Interference Mitigation (AIM+) allowed us to ignore local GNSS interference and continue our dredging operations.

Michael Shank Racing Post-Homestead news and notes
Reynoldsburg, OH (10 March 05)--After scoring third on the grid and bolting to the front to take the lead for the first time in the 2005 season, the Grand Prix of Miami didn't offer the result Michael Shank Racing was looking for, but the team knows it has what it takes to lead in the Rolex Sports Car Series, and is eager to get to the next race at California Speedway in just under a months time.
The team has returned home to Reynoldsburg, Ohio, to prepare for the next race, and there is a lot of activity taking place in the shop.
New partnerships moving team forward
Mike Shank has known for some time that his team has had what it takes to be up front, and now partners like Graydon Elliot Capitol are helping them show it to the rest of the world. The firm, recently recognized as 'Best New Business of the Year,' has expanded in less then two years from a two-employee organization to having three offices across Canada and thirty employees. The investment services firm plans on continuing its rapid development plans which includes expansion into the US and sees its relationship with Michael Shank Racing and Grand American racing as an avenue to create new opportunities for the future.
"It was great to see the car up front last week in Homestead. What impresses me is the persistence, energy and skill level of this team and we are looking forward to an exciting future with Mike," Graydon Elliott President & CEO Rodney Gelineau said. "It is also an integral part of our plan to expand into the US; assisting us in developing our corporate image, allowing us to network with like-minded people and building more excitement into what we do," he added.
The Rolex field has grown significantly in the last year in both car count and competitive nature, as shown this past weekend when the top twenty Daytona Prototypes were separated by just two seconds in qualifying. MSR is counting on partners like Graydon Elliot to keep the team on the sharp end of the order.
Quick Pit Work
As part of the teams adaptation from the sprint-racing format they had been so successful in before joining the Rolex Sports Car Series, the MSR team has taken on the new and important role of performing pit stops, and have proven to be among the quickest over the wall, often gaining crucial positions during the stops, and quickly diagnosing any problems that come up with the car during the race.
It's not just the crew that has to be fast, either, as drivers Mike Borkowski and Paul Mears Jr. have also continued to practice and improve the all-important driver changes that are part of what makes Rolex racing so unique.
Working toward second car
The team is working to grow their Rolex program, and team owner Mike Shank has been hard at work with the goal of adding a second car to the team.
"This series is where we want to be, and adding a second car is definitely something I am working on," said Shank. "It has to be the right kind of program, though- there isn't any point in just putting a car out there, if it cant be properly prepared, so we are working to find the right opportunity, and hoping that something will develop as early as this season."
Engineers explore every possibility
One of the main attractions to the Rolex category for Shank was that the rules reward those who can find the most speed out of the closely-matched Daytona Prototype cars. MSR lead engineer Dale Wise and Dave Kanning spend hours in preparation for each race, not only looking for the optimum set-ups for their car, but also exploring every possibility for a race to get the best pit strategy out of any given scenario.
Eye on the track
Experienced team manager Thomas Knapp, who spotted for the Michael Shank Racing drivers during the Rolex 24 at Daytona, took a break from his duties in the Infiniti Pro Series running the team for driver PJ Chessen, to return to the spotters stand high above Homestead and help Borkowski and Mears find their best way through the dense traffic on the short infield road course.
"It's a big help having him on the radio," said Mears. "He calls all our race starts and restarts, and that can turn into a big advantage. He also keeps me focused in the car-how to get the most out of the car and myself, even late into a stint. He's very calm on the radio, so that helps me and even the guys in the pits keep calm as a race plays out.
Oswaldo Negri spent time with the MSR team during the Homestead event. The Brazilian hotshoe, who won the racesite.com "Rising Star" award for his performance with Michael Shank Racing during the 2004 season, helped the team during the weekend, watching from out on the track at the corners as the team paid close attention to details throughout the weekend and talking about what he saw out there with the drivers to help the team continue to improve during the weekend.
Oz tested both the Spirit of Daytona and Suntrust Racing cars at Daytona in January, and is working to find his way back into the series on a regular basis soon.
Michael Shank Racing was formed in 1989 when Michael Shank first began driving racing cars professionally, taking the award as SCCA-Ohio Valley Region's Novice Driver of the Year. Shank retired from the cockpit in 1997 after moving up the motor sports ladder to focus his efforts on running the team, which quickly found success in the CART Toyota Atlantic Championship, with several race wins leading Shank to be named as Team Owner of the Year twice in four years. MSR has campaigned drivers including Johnny Rutherford Jr., Kenny Wilden, and 2001 and 2002 Indy Racing League champion Sam Hornish, Jr.
