CHESS FOR ANYONE - VOLUME 2 - Beginning TacticsProduct Code: DVD0002AN
Hosted by: The Staff of Chess4Anyone
Running Time: Over 117 Minutes
The Chess for Anyone series is designed to teach the game of chess starting at the beginner level up to the advanced level. There are many videos that present chess material at the expert and master level but very few that address the all-important beginning and intermediate phases of the game where most of the chess playing population lies. It was the aim of the producers to make the learning process of this part of the game both easy to understand and fun.
This isn't just for the new student of chess (young children make up an enormous percentage of the chess playing population) but also the recreational player who has been playing chess for a long time, and who would like to improve their game but does not have time to take lessons or read chess books. Chess for Anyone reveals secrets of the masters, and children as early as six years old will have an easy time understanding most of the material the way it is presented on all three DVDs.
Volume #2 - Beginning Tactics: Secrets of the Masters - is the second in the award-winning Chess for Anyone DVD series and features the following chapters:
* Introduction to Tactics
* Double Attack
* Superior Force
* Tactical Logic and Ideas
* How to Think Before Your Move
* Analyzing a Position
* The Pin
This video is interactive and contains many basic, but highly instructive tactical examples that are sure to improve your game.
"CHESS FOR ANYONE should be required viewing for any chess-in-schools program. Bruce Warner is obviously an experienced teacher and this DVD is a window into his classroom."
Richard Roseborough, Chess Cafe
"The CHESS FOR ANYONE DVDS were instrumental in developing our first-place team and individual scholastic state champions. It was very exciting!
Wayne Nagy, Principal of Jefferson Davis Middle School, Florida

It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses an Eye
The drama du jour is served up by the combination of Darkfall (srs bzns PvP MMO) and Eurogamer.net (mostly solid games news site). I'd imagine if you're reading this that you are already likely acquainted with the affair but for those of you who may have missed it, the summary goes as follows:
- Eurogamer review Darkfall and give it a very unflattering review.
- Darkfall devs complain publicly about the quality of the review on their forum. Highlights of the complaint are that, according to their logs, the reviewer only spent 2 hours playing the game and most of that was in character creation.
- Eurogamer responds, standing by their reviewer and his review but offer to re-review it with a different staff member.
- Darkfall comes right back with another post in which they're very clear that they don't want insinuate that Eurogamer are lying but this is somewhat disingenuous as they all but state outright that they believe this to be the case.
- Finally, the whole event comes to a (temporary?) close when the Darkfall devs categorically refuse a re-review from Eurogamer. Their rationale seems to be a little patchy however, they claim they don't want the game to be re-reviewed because the old review will stay up until the new review is complete, but of course if the game isn't re-reviewed then the old review will stand regardless. It's a puzzle.
The review, is of course very hostile and is apparently factually inaccurate in some areas, what's interesting is that none of the meatier criticisms of the game are unique to this article. Tasos rails that the reviewer didn't give it a fair shake of the stick and was clearly biased against the game, but there are no new things being said in this article that haven't already been pointed out by other reviewers. While Tasos and the Darkfall fans are complaining about the minutiae, the takeaway from the article is hard to dispute. Is it accurate? Possibly not. Does it accurately convey Mr Zitron's feelings about the game? Very probably.
Anyway, I don't really want to talk about Darkfall particularly but rather the relationship between the gaming press and the industry they cover.

Skip to comments.Man uses obscure law to claim ownership of $300k home in upscale Texas town... for just $16
Posted on 07/20/2011 11:19:26 AM PDT by Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears
If someone you knew claimed to have bought a new house for $16, you'd probably expect it to be a rundown hovel.
But for Kenneth Robinson, that princely sum could see him as the new owner of a $300,000 home in an well-manicured part of Flower Mound, Texas.
On June 17, Mr Robinson took advantage of a little known Texas law to move into the abandoned home.
The house had been in foreclosure for more than a year and its owner walked away. Then, the mortgage company went bust.
After months of research, Mr Robinson used the obscure law 'adverse possession', filled out some paperwork costing just $16, and moved some of his belongings into the home.
Under the law, if someone moves into an abandoned home they have exclusive negotiating rights with the original owner.
If the owner wants them to leave, they have to pay off the mortgage debt on the home and the bank has to file a complicated lawsuit to get them evicted.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
This is in Flower Mound, Texas
Send him the tax bill.
I don't see the down side...good on him for being well-informed.
"Mr Robinson used the obscure law 'adverse possession',...."
Adverse possession ... AKA "squatters' rights".
The law's the law.
Wish I had known about this deal!
"Leigh Lowrie, who lives nearby, said: 'What paperwork is it and how is it legally binding if he doesn't legally own the house? He just squats there."
They are just pissed they didn't think of it first.
The law is the law but if I was the county I would sure send him the tax bill.
He'll pay property taxes going forward. He doesn't owe back taxes on this property.
While property taxes in Texas might be on the high side (although nowhere near as high as, say, NH or NJ) if that's all I had to do to own a house, send away. I'd rather pay $10K than $300K.
I doubt it is the only house in this situation.
There are thousands of homes in the same situation, right now, in Dallas/Ft Worth, I'm sure.
Smart guy; way to go!
I have no problem with this whatsoever, and good for him. I wish we had something similar in Germany, but what the heck; for that, I'm willing to settle in Texas.
Adverse possession laws vary by state.
In Arkansas, a claim for adverse possession can only take place after you've resided on and maintained the property for seven years. Full documentation of residence and maintenance is also required.
Now the question .. how did he get in ?
If door was locked.. would that not be breaking and entering.. surely the law can not reward a criminal act.
He will in the long run loose, some one some where has clear title and ownership.
Read the law.
There is much you can do.
Very few do read the law. Those who do can do well.
Now what if the original owner had a relative who assumed occupancy of the house then signed the title over to the former owner? Hmmmmm
There is going to be a lot of this around the country in the next ten years.
Somebody owns the paper on this house and he will be finding out who before long in the form of lawsuits and he will not be able to afford the legal fees.
That's what I say. Are there property taxes related to the property? Those taxes will be his burden.
The mortgage company went bankrupt.
Likely the debtors of the mortgage company will eventually be awarded the assets including the title to this property.
But if there are enough debtors and properties involved, it might take more than three years before that get resolved.
This clown is another Obamamite who has committed a criminal act. He should use this knowledge he has to get a home the right way.
I'll wager he's a convicted felon.
Something for nothing.
Can one be sued and removed for not keeping the upscale property in an appropriate upscale condition?
Let's say the house is only worth $200,000. Somebody is out $200,000 with little to no recourse. Just because this guy broke in and moved in an old couch. And you see no down side?
So the guy with 200K on the line has no rights? Multiply that by a million. Do you still see no down side?
What about the neighboring property owners? Do you think this guy is going to keep up the property? What do you think is going to happen to the value of their properties? Would you like a squatter with no "skin in the game" living next door to you? Multiply that by a million.
Do you see the down side? If stuff like this becomes the norm, its all over. Sell ALL your real estate, gather your guns and your family and head for the hills.
That's really stretching the concept of Adverse Possession almost to the breaking point. It was meant to cover things like people walking through your property to get to the beach. If you don't make any attempt to stop them or to cut-off access, after seven years it is assumed you don't care and it is considered to be a public thoroughfare.
"This clown is another Obamamite who has committed a criminal act. "
I too am suspicious of the squatter and wonder if this is a move by ACORN.
I'm very curious about his address.
The county owns the house,He must pay the "rent/Taxes" no such thing as "ownership"!
Watch as ACORN and similar Leftists groups start to take advantage of this. How would you like hoards of welfarists swarming into your neighbor.
Amazing how little thought is displayed around here where it is supposed to be important. I could understand DU cheering this kind of crap but FReepers? Geez are we screwed.
I do not see how he can live there without paying back taxes. Here in California if you are delinquent on your taxes they will seize your home and sell it at auction.
How is he getting around not paying taxes?
The mortgage crisis in this country is another shoe yet to drop. The banksters and other fraudsters may be the final straw in the fall of the republic.
Texas Property law is pretty interesting. Adverse Possession kinda works in reverse too. In Texas if you own a piece of residential real estate or undeveloped property - with or without a structure and you own it with another person (non spouse) it is called Tenants in Common. This is just two people - not a commercial interest or business partnership. Anyway - if one of the co-tenants fails to uphold his or her financial contributions to pay for the property for a significant period of time (several years) then the paying co-tenant can file a petition to repudiate the ownership rights of the non contributing co-tenant. This is not a lawsuit per se... just a legally published notice. If it goes unchallenged via a lawsuit by the non paying co-tenant within certain period of time... the title is changed to show ownership by the paying co-tenant alone.
"This clown is another Obamamite who has committed a criminal act. He should use this knowledge he has to get a home the right way."
"I'll wager he's a convicted felon."
Bummer for you that you didn't beat him to this deal.
It's one of the first things a first-year law student learns about in Property Law.
Yeah someone here said yesterday that this legal concept was in order to establish fencelines.
I'd rather be in a house with running water and the thermostat set at 75.
It may not be possible to find who 'holds the paper' on the home. During the foreclosure fiasco last year when there was a temporary hold on foreclosures in some states - it was shown that one reason for such a hold was that it was impossible to show who 'holds the paper' as some mortgage companies and mortgage security companies had gone belly up - the computer and paper records could not be located and may not even exist - destroyed. And in a number of cases the company servicing the mortgage had no clear documentation to show that they had the right to service the mortgage.
As always, from the news reports on a legal issue it is impossible to understand all the facts.
As a Texas land title lawyer, there are several types of adverse possession, and it is not an "obscure law." Depending on whether he obtained a written document of title, pays taxes, uses and possesses the property, title by adverse possession can become vested in as little as 3 years and as much as 25 years of actual possession.
I would say the record owner of this house could bring eviction proceedings immediately and get this guy out.
Lots of mixed reactions on this thread. My initial reaction was "Good for him!", but my amended reaction is "This ain't over by a long shot, now that it's hit the news."
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the impetus for new (or amended) legislation about adverse possession in Texas and elsewhere.
But if anyone else is claiming ownership rights to the house they should offer Mr. Robinson some walking away money to avoid a protracted court battle. 10% to 15% of the appraised value should work nicely.
This whole story reeks of BS! Why would the owner of the house abandon the property because his mortgage company went bankrupt. I could see it if the owner went bankrupt. If MY mortgage company went bankrupt I would in fat city because I wouldn't have to send payments in and who would kick me out as long as I paid the county taxes? Total BS.
The original "owner" walked away from the mortgage. Then the mortgage company went bust.
If he has title to the property, he'd be wise to obtain an owners title insurance policy and then put the house up for sale ASAP. Another three times and he can buy a really nice pad.
This is hilarious; the beneficiaries of the diversity-induced housing collapse are......diverse people...!
If I set fire to the ship I'm sailing on, usually that's bad for me —I burn, then drown.
But here —they set china on the Captain's table, then dine in fine style.

Charly Vallance, archaeologist
In my second season at Amara West – I spend the rest of the year as a field archaeologist in the UK – I have been excavating in the south-west portion of the town, an area never previously investigated, alongside Shadia Abdo Rabo, a curator at the Sudanese National Museum, also acting as our inspector from the National Corporation of Antiquities and Museums.
The first stage of our work was to locate the south-west corner of the town's enclosure wall. You might think a wall 3.5 metres wide and several metres high would be easy to find, especially with the help of magnetometry data.
But, after two days of hard digging, there was no sign of the wall corner; local workman Abdul Razig was becoming increasingly frustrated and threatened to move trenches!
On the fifth day, relief, as several areas of mudbrick were exposed and identified as belonging to the town walls. The walls have suffered badly from deep pits dug through them to extract clay for building material.
Inside the walls, two distinct rooms were discovered, each one of considerable size, filled with over a metre of disturbed sands and silts, making excavation rather heavy-going. Battles with inflowing sand from the surrounding desert have been a daily occurrence, and one which has made us all experts in sandbag logistics.
The biggest discovery to date has been a mudbrick pavement in pristine condition laid across the surfaces of both rooms. This was a sign we were digging something pretty grand. The presence of two elaborate entrances flanked by large sandstone door jambs leading north from the paved areas emphasise that we are not in a modest domestic building.
The purpose of the rooms is currently unclear, though the pottery suggests it dates to the late New Kingdom.
Perhaps one space was an open courtyard, a communal area tucked away in the south-west corner of the town? Or was it a rather grand residence? Only with more digging will we find out more: from 7am tomorrow, armed with shovels, picks and trowels, we will be out there again, trying to seek evidence for these and other questions…

By SPENCER WRIGHTSalt Lake City,
I don't normally get involved in state politics, but when I saw a commercial with Oreo cookies in it, I just had to jump in. (After all, they're America's favorite cookie.) On that commercial which supported referendum 1, some man was telling me that if a child leaves the public school system, he would take only three Oreos with him, leaving three Oreos for the rest of us. Three extra cookies for the rest of us? Why, that sounds delicious.
That must have been what William Sharp was thinking when he wrote his Oct.23 editorial supporting school vouchers. He wrote, "Make no mistake the money opposing vouchers is coming from hard left, anti-God liberals." Only godless "liberals" would try to stop the rest of us from getting three extra Oreo cookies, right Mr. Sharp?
Dangling the proverbial cookie in front of emotional voters will unfortunately sway many to vote yes on referendum 1. And I'm sure that there are many who will jump on Sharp's name-calling bandwagon and let the emotionally charged word "liberal" drive their election decision-making. But for the rest of us, let's take a moment to look at the voucher issue rationally and logically.
First, this is not an issue of choice. Parents are legally allowed to take their children to any school in the state. Nothing is stopping any child from attending any school of their choice but two factors: transportation and cost. As transportation will still need to be provided by the parent regardless of whether referendum 1 passes, this is also a moot point. Cost, however, is the very question vouchers attempt to address.
According to the proposed referendum, the average voucher will be approximately $2,000 per year. With the average private school tuition of $8,000 per year, that will leave the parent to pay an average of $6,000 per year (per child). I don't know about you, but I don't have $6,000 to lay down each year (for each child) for private school, let alone $8,000 per year.
Who does the voucher system help, then? It helps those who can already afford private school (the wealthy) get out of paying a portion of their child's tuition. These wealthy individuals want to pull their kid out of public school, then siphon a few grand off the public school system to pay for something they can already afford.
This is not a republican nor a democrat issue. This is not a "liberal" or "conservative" issue. (In fact, the very "conservative" KSL Editorial Board has spoken out against referendum 1.) This is about "rich people" wanting to take our "poor people" tax dollars to pay for their kids' private school tuition. If you want to send your child to a private school, go for it. Referendum 1 will neither allow nor restrict you. But don't take the average citizens' tax dollars with you. If you pull your kid from public school, we're keeping all six Oreo cookies. But thanks for asking.
And in case you are interested, I like to twist one side off, lick the creamy center, then eat the two chocolatey cookies.

Although it's the last round of the league phase of the competition, there will be no love lost when the Blues host the Chiefs on Saturday.
Although it's the last round of the league phase of the competition, there will be no love lost when the Blues host the Chiefs on Saturday.
With it being a derby between two of the tournament's most entertaining sides, expect plenty of end-to-end action with running rugby the order of the day.
The Chiefs have already qualified for the play-offs but last weekend's humiliating 43-15 defeat to the Crusaders in Christchurch came at a huge cost, as they relinquished their spot at the top of the table to the Bulls.
Finishing in pole position in the standings will be hugely significant as it guarantees the team a home semi-final and a home final during the play-offs.
Chiefs coach Dave Rennie admitted that his side were outplayed against the Crusaders but they were determined to make up for that performance when they take on the Blues.
"It can be [a setback] if you let it be," he told Fairfax Media.
"We've got to look at things from a positive point of view and our destiny is still in our hands in regard to getting a home semi.
"So we've got to take the good things that we've been doing. All the hard work we've done during the year has put us in a situation where we can afford to drop a game and still have a chance to get a home semi.
"We won't be too down on it. The boys are really disappointed but we'll work hard this week and we'll rectify it on Saturday.
"The key is that we come out with a solution of what we want to do and it won't be too far different from what we've been trying to do, but there might be attitude adjustments, might be tweaking a couple of things in our programme or the way we're playing.
"So I've got no doubt that we'll turn things around quickly."
The Blues only have pride to play for. They are on a five-match losing streak after defeats to the Cheetahs, Sharks, Highlanders, Brumbies and Crusaders.
It will be an emotional match for their captain Ali Williams who will be playing his final game for the Auckland-based outfit before heading off to France where he will further his career at Toulon.
If the Blues manage to beat the Chiefs and deny the champions a losing bonus point it could have disastrous consequences for the men from Hamilton.
Such a result could see the Brumbies leap-frog them into second spot on the table while it could also help the Crusaders their bid to snatch the New Zealand conference from the Chiefs.
Blues boss Sir John Kirwan dismissed suggestions that his charges will be motivated to do the Crusaders a favour.
"We're not doing anyone any favours," he told Fairfax.
"It's about pride for us.
"We've had a season we expected, but if we can finish with a great performance, then it's been a real step in the right direction to put this franchise back on track.
"Yeah, we would have all loved to have made the playoffs, but it hasn't happened.
"But we've played some great football and are heading in the right direction, so we need to go out and play for pride and show people we are a force to be reckoned with."
In the 20 previous matches which these two sides have faced each other, both have won on 10 occasions. The Chiefs hold a significant edge, however, after winning their last four matches against the Blues. Included in that is a 23-16 win earlier this year.
Prediction: With nothing more than pride at stake, the Blues won't be as focussed as the Chiefs, who can still regain the top spot on the table.Chiefs to win by eight points!
The teams:
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Frank Halai, 13 Rene Ranger, 12 Francis Saili, 11 Lolagi Visinia, 10 Baden Kerr, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili / Brendon O'Connor, 7 Luke Braid, 6 Kane Barrett, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Anthony Boric, 3 Angus Ta'avao, 2 Keven Mealamu, 1 Sam Prattley.
Replacements: 16 James Parsons, 17 Ofa Tu'ungafasi, 18 Liaki Moli, 19 Brendon O'Connor / Sean Polwart, 20 Jamison Gibson-Park, 21 Jackson Willison, 22 Marty McKenzie.
Chiefs: 15 Andrew Horrell, 14 Lelia Masaga, 13 Tim Nanai-Williams, 12 Bundee Aki, 11 Robbie Robinson, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 8 Matt Vant Leven, 7 Tanerau Latimer, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Craig Clarke, 3 Ben Tameifuna, 2 Hika Elliot, 1 Toby Smith.

Are Successful Women Shunned, While Her Male Counterparts are Celebrated?
Just when we start to see cracks in that glass ceiling, there is a new one being designed. Studies show that powerful and successful women are perceived are more likely to be hated, than her male counterparts. The position of power, worn by women, is perceived to be self-serving, getting ahead, and vicious. On the other hand, her male counterparts are seen as confident and focused.Sep 4, 2014, 19:29

Do you think you have heard all of the challenges for women? As we continue to think about racial and gender equality, equal pay, and leadership discrimination, there are new opportunities and obstacles emerging. How are perceptions of women changing? Why are there still so few women leaders in top positions? How can we leverage new opportunities and close gender gaps?Aug 29, 2014, 14:42

That's my term, not NYSE Euronext's (NYX), for a plan the exchange hopes can breathe some life into dormant ETFs, which make up a surprisingly large proportion of the industry.
The exchange just announced the launch of a program whereby fund companies can subsidize market making in any of the hundreds of exchange-traded funds investors won't touch — or, the exchange hopes, they'll begin using once they see other people go first.
Although there are cases where an illiquid-looking ETF works just fine, a humming secondary market is regarded by many investors as a must-have. With so many heavily traded funds out there already, it's hard to blame them. So an overlooked ETF faces something of a chicken-egg problem. In order to win over investors, you need first to have … a slug of investors. $100 million is a commonly cited hurdle.
The one-year pilot NYSE Arca ETP Incentive Program lets fund companies pay anywhere from $10,000 to $40,000 per fund, per year, to NYSE market-making firms as incentives for creating tight bid-ask spreads and strong liquidity in those trading-starved ETFs.
It's a top-heavy industry where close to half the field's $1.5 trillion in assets are held in 25 of more than 1,500 funds and exchange-traded notes. The $135 billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), itself holds close to 10% of all ETF assets. Throw in biggies Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) and iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and you're up to 15%.

Unlike its railroad town neighbors, Dyersburg predates the Civil War. Established by some of West Tennessee's first white settlers in the 1820s, Dyersburg was a steamboat town with economic growth coming down the North Forked Deer River from the Mississippi River. Today, the town's history is well preserved in homes and historic buildings along Troy Avenue and lining the square.
History enthusiasts will enjoy a walk through the Historic Courthouse Square, where the 1911 three-story brick Dyer County Courthouse and 45 additional buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The bell tower and dome of the courthouse are original and fully functional. For Civil War historians, a trip to General Strahl's gravesite and cannon is not to be missed. The covered bridge in Trimble, one of only three remaining in the state, is an interesting trip for visitors young and old.
The Troy Avenue Historic District's homes were constructed between 1890 and 1940 in Victorian, Revival, bungalow and Craftsman styles. The Veterans\' Museum is located on the former site of the Dyersburg Army Air Base in Halls. The Air Base at Halls was the largest combat crew training school built during the early years of World War II. Visit the Soldier in Grey, a monument to the Civil War battles that scarred the area.
The Mississippi River Trail's pathways and bikeways course along America's backbone, and Tennessee's section runs through Dyersburg. Hop on at Reelfoot Lake in Tiptonville and ride for nine miles along quaint farm roads to Ridgely until you arrive in Dyersburg. Discover area wildlife at Dr. Walter E. David Wildlife Museum.
No trip to Dyersburg is complete without a visit to the Main Street Farmers Market, where every Tuesday and Saturday you can find the freshest locally grown produce. In September, visit the Dyer County Fair and Main Street Fall Festival in historic downtown Dyersburg. Located in the Dyer County Fairgrounds, Sorghum Valley is a miniature settlement in a quaint country atmosphere surrounding the Old Sorghum Mill.
Experience Dyersburg
Get to know Dyersburg through its well-preserved historic buildings, monuments and memorials. Enjoy biking the riverside trails.

Colonial 16in. Satin Opal Bowl Shade Item # B5612
With stylized ionic columns, swagged garlands, raised panels and palmettes, this Colonial glass shade provides plenty of Neoclassical character.
This shade has a satin opal finish - a traditional matte appearance that's achieved through either sandblasting or acid etching the outside of the shade. This process leaves our satin opal glass shades shiny on the inside, giving them a reflective quality that bounces more light upward.
Try it with the Halsey or Patton Valley.
Also available with a 10" and 12" fitter.

"I ordered these shoes on line and I was unsure if the heel height might be a little too much. Since they were platforms it made the height more bearable since the platform doesn't put as much weight on the ball of the foot for something this high.The color combination is what first grabbed my attention. Love the teal and apple green together and it will look great on tan legs! Haven't had a chance to wear them yet, but I can't wait!"

"How true this was for me in 1980 when, as an art student, I came to have a personal relationship with Christ. Just a few weeks later, awash in my newfound faith, I found myself sitting in an art class, my mind wandering. As I went through the motions, my eyes on the disinterested model posing for the class, I was suddenly struck with a powerful vision." --Artist Thomas Kinkade
Signature Thomas Kinkade tranquility captures a powerful vision. Add a serene element to any room with this portrait of Jesus. Created in a gallery wrap canvas design, the print brings the premium style of the art gallery into your home.
About Gallery Wrap
Bring the premium style of the art gallery into your home with a gallery wrap canvas print. In a gallery wrap canvas, the artwork extends around the sides of the canvas, and the fabric canvas is attached to the back, not the sides, of the solid wood stretcher frame. You won't see any staples on the sides of the canvas, so the artwork is ready to hang as is, or makes a dramatic statement in a frame of your choice.

Mock Draft W/ Great Season Summary
Posted 03 February 2007 - 12:56 PM
Im not in love with the 2nd and 3rd rounds but it was alright. They filled all of our needs except for CB in which we can get somone like Nate Clements in FA. Jarvis Moss would be Bryon Thomas' carbon copy at the other side, although i would rather get Carriker.
With M. Bush being gone they had us gettin Leonard. Even though i sorta started to drift away about the idea of drafting him now that i think about it this pick would be pretty good. We could have a duo back feild of Leonard/ Leon. In that case it would be so obvious as it was last year when whenever we had Leon it would be a swing or screen. Now with Leonard back there along with Leon we actually have a FB that can run. And he could pound it up the middle. I was very disapointed when i heard that he was trying to loose poundage during senior bowl week so he could be a feature back but he kind of can with a duo back field like this. This could potentially turn into a Reggie/ Duece backfeild. Therefore i am now in love w/ this pick.
I'm not so sure i like the pick of NT Turk McBride. Because that would mean Robertson wont be able to play NT or DE. Unless they assume we would put Moss at OLB and then move Robertson to NT and Turk would play NT. If that is the case then someone would be left w/o his LB spot. And that could be a problem. With that we would be looking at a whole shift around with our LBing corp and possibly a trade b/c there would be an odd man
The pick of WR Chansi Stuckey is okey he'd add depth to the position and if would play hard in training camp he could be our slot man.
Lastly take a look at the sort of season summary they have after our 1st rd pick. I really liked it.
Posted 03 February 2007 - 01:17 PM
I want Brian Leonard also, but that may be alittle too high for him, but I would take Leonard with our 2nd 2nd rounder.

I don't think we should draft Leonard that high and if we are going to draft a RB there it should be a true RB rather than a FB such as a guy like Kenny Irons or Antonio Pittman although both are relatively undersized, that is if Michael Bush is gone. If we got Jarvis Moss though it would improve our pass rush greatly as he is a true speed threat on the edge.

CB instead of Leonard and Hunt instead of that WR and I think that is a very realistic draft.
Posted 03 February 2007 - 04:20 PM
We get DE Carriker/RB Bush/ WR Anthony Gonzalez/G Doug Datish
The first two are obvious perfect picks. With AG he's a very talented possesion receiver IMO better than Tim Dwight. So we can use him and B.Smith as our 3/4 Wide outs. And the with the guard pick Doug is from Ohio State so hes a product of what Mangold is from. We've found value in later rounds b4 so hopefully we can find it this year to solidify our right side of the line.

BEIRUT (AP) — The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah says the militant group would fire thousands of rockets into Israel and hit cities in the country's heartland in any future war.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah's comments came days after an eight-day Israeli offensive against Gaza ended with a truce.
Israeli aircraft launched some 1,500 strikes on targets linked to the Palestinian territory's Hamas rulers and other groups, while Gaza militants fired roughly the same number of rockets into Israel. Some Iranian-made Fajr-5 rockets targeted the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for the first time.
Nasrallah said in a speech in Beirut Sunday that Israel will face "thousands of rockets that will fall on Tel Aviv and other areas if it launches an aggression against Lebanon."
Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war in 2006.

Skip to comments.Flashback: Hillary Clinton: My Life at 60 (2007, talks about 1998 blood clot scare)
Posted on 12/30/2012 7:21:37 PM PST by kristinn
She approaches her seventh decade with what any 60-year-old wants most - good health - but Clinton recalled a potentially fatal scare in 1998.
It came while she was campaigning on behalf of Chuck Schumer's New York Senate bid and a swollen right foot caused her terrible pain. She thought she just needed to slow down from constant flying.
A White House doctor told her to rush to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where doctors diagnosed a large blood clot behind her right knee.
"That was scary because you have to treat it immediately - you don't want to take the risk that it will break lose and travel to your brain, or your heart or your lungs. That was the most significant health scare I've ever had."
Clinton said she no longer takes blood thinners and otherwise has enjoyed good health while zig-zagging across the country for the past nine months, keeping a schedule that exhausts aides half her age.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
FReeper SERKIT was the first to bring up the previous incident.
Blood clots are scary things, depending on where they are located.
I know, because I have had a few.
Congrats for scooping the lamestream media tonight.
S**t happens.
As also does the Hillabeast and the Obamadork.
All should be flushed promptly to avoid disease.

{"Bill Clinton embraces his wife shortly after a stage light fell and knocked her down on January 26, 1992. They talk to Don Hewitt, producer of the CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes."}
I've posted numerous times over the past few months, in regards to her possible 2016 run, about how unhealthy she looks.
She might get herself healthier, but not healthy enough to run for President.
Remember Vince Foster?
How about those "missing" income tax returns?
Anybody who thinks this villaness is incapable of fabricating s medical issur when its convenient is a fool.

Just heard a news flash that said Hillary is in the hospital. Maybe her stroke was real.
Glad you survived. They can sneak up on you and sneak away with you.
"Hillary Clinton looms so large in the political landscape today, its hard to remember when she didnt.
But, in fact, she was relatively unknown to most Americans until January 26, 1992.
On that Sunday night, Hillary and her husband Bill Clinton appeared together on 60 Minutes, in a heavily watched interview with Steve Kroft that aired right after the Superbowl."
The ironic dual anniversary of two famous Clinton quotations
Of course if she looks at running in 2016, the media will ask whether or not health disqualifies her from running just like they did McCain.
Right everyone? Right?
I know somene with that problem. It's very treatable but you have to get on it right away. Prayers for Mrs. Clinton in this matter.
She may have been blessed with my favorite: popliteal aneurysm. Will definitly give your life dose of hurry-up.
Forgive me if I don't drop to my knees this very second.. you might as well pray for the repose of the soul of satin
They sure are. I wouldn't wish ill on anyone.
Satin = Satan
"Blood clots are scary things, depending on where they are located"
Yes I pretty much know how scary it is. Back in Sep. 2010 I fell and luckily I did not break my leg however my leg started to burn and I developed numerous blisters on the leg, some hugh. About a month later some of the blisters were drying up and falling off except one on my knee. The doctor was curious why this one particular didn't & was not dry. So she cut it open to see inside and lo behold there were numerous blod clots some small and medium. So she made a cut and removed them. I assume everything was alright but in the back of my mind I thought I was carrying these blood clots for about a month.
December came around and one night I felt so weak and I was in a chat room and they notice I was not making any sense. They called 911 for me I was taken to the hospital and the ER doctor asked me who was my doctor and I told him and he immediately ran out to contact my doctor, I then knew this was serious. I was told I had a very very mild stroke, do I then knew maybe a very small clot may have traveled up.
So yes they can be scarey I do know they were injecting me with something for the blood clot though I don't recall what it was.
Hook, line and sinker.
Not me.
The medical name for her problem is canklitis.
You're calling on God to kill her or did I misread?
Guess this means she might have had a legit reason for missing the Benghazi hearings.
I doubt it
I have no doubt she has blood clots at 60. She has never taken care of herself, physically or emotionally. What a pathetic example for young women. Of course the older man-haters love her.
A blood clot in the leg is very different from a Benghazi blood clot.
Do you take aspirin daily?
I was a liberal until I saw the Clinton's on "60 Minutes". My revulsion towards them changed my life around.
I hope nobody minds that I repeat the post I wrote as I was recovering from a bad heart attack:
Immediate First Aid for Heart Attack (by one who's been there.)
Life's experience ^ | July 15, 2002 | basil
Posted on 07/15/2002 4:36:15 PM CDT by basil
Last Thursday was 7-11, as I recall, which should have been a lucky day. I now believe it was luckier than most for me.
Everything seemed "normal" when I awoke around 6:30 AM. I got up, put on my robe, and padded to the kitchen to get the water boiling for my usual cup of tea. Then, I let my Springer Spaniel, Mandy, out to do her doggy thing, and opened up the doors to my home office. I booted up my Mac, and returned to the kitchen to pour the water over the tea bag.
Returning to my office with my hot teacup, I had a bit of a shooting pain in the left side of my chest. Nothing intolerable, but enough to get my attention.
Just as the "forum" page of FR downloaded, it felt like a giant crab had grabbed a hold of my heart--and he wouldn't let go! I tried taking some deep breaths, changing my position, etc., but nothing helped. It dawned on me right then that I was having a heart attack! (Funny, but I kept thinking of Fred Sandford telling his wife he was having the BIG ONE!--LOL)
This narrative may get a bit long, as I have a tendency to be a bit wordy (a big surprise to some of you--ha!), so those of you who have no interest, please bail out now.
For the rest of you, I want you to learn what I learned, which I am sure saved my life.
If you ever find youself in the same circumstance, I hope you will remember this: IMMEDIATELY TAKE ONE ASPIRIN!! Not more than one, and not an aspirin substitute--ONE WHOLE ASPIRIN.
I had read a long time ago in a Reader's Digest (I think) that one aspirin taken within an hour of a myocardial infarction (heart attack) can help prevent permanent damage to the heart muscle. Since reading this article, I had kept aspirin in my purse, in my car, and in the house. As soon as I figured out what was happening, I went to the bathroom and grabbed the aspirin bottle and swallowed one whole aspirin.
My husband was downstairs at the time (watching the stock market tank, no doubt--) when I yelled down and told him what I thought was going on, and to please call 911. He put the call in immediately, and then came upstairs to see about me.
My dog had gone into "protective mode"-- how do they know to do that?--and she wouldn't let Mr. basil near me! I realized that she also would not let the EMS guys near me either, so I had to get up off the couch and put her behind the bedroom door.
I don't remember much of the next few minutes. After putting the dog up, I must have decided that I needed something in the kitchen, because I had started in there when I completely passed out (for the first and only time in my life.)
I later learned that I fell on my face and hit the ceramic tile floor. When I came to, the EMS guys were working over me, but all I was aware of was that blood was gushing out of my nose, and I thought that was rather odd--but by then, everything seemed rather odd to me.
I had this sensation that there was something important going on that I should be taking part in, but for the life of me, I couldn't think what it might be. I did not feel like I was floating in the air, and I did not see a shinning light (Note--neither did I see pitchforks!)
My next recollection was of being wheeled down our very long, very steep driveway on a gurney as the ambulance had parked on the street.. I recall that I was in the ambulance for what seemed like a rather long time before it started moving.
At this time, I have to admit that I had some very severe pain, and couldn't focus too much on what the technicians were doing to me. I remember that they told me that they were going to start (I believe they said an external pacemaker), and that it would be a bit painful. They didn't lie.
That was such a strange experience that I have to tell about it. I don't know what the thing looked like, as apparently I never opened my eyes during this time. Anyway, here's what I felt: it was as if I had a series of arches of some sort over my body from about my knees to shoulder level. At the knees, it started with an electrical zap, followed a few seconds later with another zap a bit higher up, and so on until the top arch zapped at my shoulders. Then, it started going back down the arches, and then back up. Although this was rather painful, it was also rather fascinating, until I realized all of a sudden that I seemed to be convulsing.
I was being shaken by very hard, uncontrollable convulsions that were wracking my entire body. I keep yelling at the techs to please help me, but they seemed to just ignore me! I couldn't figure out why they weren't paying any attention to me. Also, at about this time, I suddenly had the sensation that my tongue had swollen many times it's normal size and was stuck to my very dry top lip--who knows what that was about!
This all finally stopped, and I felt better for a while, then the whole process repeated itself.
Finally, I knew we were at the hospital and that I was being rushed somewhere. I don't now know if it was to the Emergency Room, or straight to Cardiac Catherization Lab. All I know for sure is that the hand of God was with me, because, as it turned out, a very brillant cardiologist was on call, and he was waiting for me. (The techs had been in telephone contact with him on the 45 minute ambulance trip, getting their instructions from him.)
For the next couple of hours, I think I was more or less unaware of what what going on, except that I had two more of those convulsing episodes like I had experienced in the ambulance, only they were much more severe now. I continued to think that I was screaming at somebody,ANYBODY! to help me, and again, no one seemed to care-- or even to glance at me, or to say a word to me. This added greatly to my distress, but I couldn't figure out anything else to do, so I just kept convulsing and hoping it would all end soon.
I suppose that's exactly what happened, because the next thing I knew, I was awake and in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. I was feeling absolutlely normal, had no pain whatsoever, and I think my head was clear (one never knows when talking about this head--lol). I took stock, and noted that I had 3 iv's running, a heart monitor hookup, two tubes connected in my groin (can you say "groin" on FR?), and was wearing an oxygen mask.
That was the end of the excitement. It wasn't until several hours later that this "really helpful" nurse found a mirror so that I could get a good look at myself. and see the damage caused when I passed out and landed on my face.
Believe me--you don't want to know what I saw, just suffice it to say that all I could think of was to holler TRICK OR TREAT!! The damage consists of of a broken nose, a badly bruised eye orbit, and the left shoulder and hip are varying shades of blues, purples, and greens. The color in my face changes and spreads daily, and has some most interesting colors and patterns in it.
I told my daughter, pesto, who is to be a blushing bride in less than three weeks, not to worry--if all else fails, I can just wear a burka to the wedding, and won't scare any of the little kids.
Now--here's the serious part--all jokes aside:BOTH OF MY CARDIOLOGISTS AGREE THAT BY TAKING THAT PLAIN OLD EVERYDAY ONE ASPIRIN, I VERY PROBABLY SAVED MY LIFE!!!
I hope each of you will remember this always, and tell all you family and friends about it!
And one final bit that may be of interest to some of you: Each of the four times that I was experiencing the convulsing episodes, I was in complete cardiac arrest (complete heart stoppage). The doctors assure me that I was not convulsing, and that I was not screaming at anybody, that that was my mind playing tricks on me.
Dear freeper friends, there is no way to adequately let you know how much your prayers and well- wishes meant to me during this time. On behalf of me, Mr Basil, and pesto, (and our other 4 kids), all we can say is an humble thank you., I am very sure that I am here today because, in part, of all of your lovely prayers. How does one adequately say thanks for that? May God bless each and every one of you!
One note...I know that some folks relish living way out in the country and I am convinced that it has its points but forty-five minutes to the nearest ER is a bit much.
With four kids, two grands and a boatload of older folks in the family, I like being less than five minutes from a world-class facility, two of them in fact, Long Island Jewish and North Shore University hospitals.
I tore my leg up surfing once in Montauk on a Sunday in August. The nearest hospital was in Southampton, 25 miles away. The only road is one lane in each direction. It was clogged with summer traffic. The ride took almost forty minutes even with the siren.
Thanks you so much for posting this again. I don't think I read it the first time. Thank God for the simple aspirin!
My mother at age 70 had her first stroke while they were on a trip to Oregon. My father knew something was wrong but instead of taking her to the ER he put her in the car and drove her back to Texas (no aspirin). This was 1979 and I don't know if doctors had started telling people to do this or not. They were both as healthy as anyone I ever knew so they probably didn't ever see a doctor.
After getting back to Texas she continued to have strokes until she was a complete invalid and lived for 5 years that way. When I think that maybe a 1/4 grain aspirin would have prevented this I get very sad.
Actually, the dosage I take is one 5 grain aspirin daily. This is what most doctors recommend.
I was at the dermatologist having some skin tags removed from my neck. He asked me if I took aspirin because if I did it was working. LOL!
Oh yes, right.
Actually, I'm thinking it'll look more like "Weekend at Bernie's."
Yes, and my name's not Daily.
Mine too. It was these two you convinced me of my mistakes in the political. My family, with just two exceptions, are all liberal. Family get togethers are tough.
Jan 26, 1998: " I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky! - Bubba Xlinton
I wish I could think of a nice way to say it, but I can't. Since it's New Years I will just say that you sound like a terribly bitter person. Maybe 2013 will be better for you.
You sound like you are reading from a bad script, but at least you understand that there is no real difference between Dems and Pubs. When more understand this there will be hope.
Until that time we are left with the joint criminals.
Jeez, you just are full of yourself, aren't you?
When I deal with folks who call for God to exterminate people they don't like I have little regard for their intellect or sanity. Hence, the way I come across to you.
That is God's call not yours. Telling God to smite people would be funny if not sad.

Years of Released 2007
Status Completed
Author(s) Nastycat (go Young Hoon)
Artist(s) Nastycat (go Young Hoon)
Genre(s) Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Seinen, Shounen, Supernatural
Reading Direction Read from left to right.I absolutely adore this manga, got nothing but love for it. It is so damn intriguing and such a beautiful read. It's already jumped to my #2 favorite manga of all time after Naruto, and the mangaka "Nasty Cat" I would put on the same pedestal with the likes of Kishi, Oda, and Arakawa. It has a webcomic style which you need to get used to, alot of scrolling down. It is a korean manhwa so you read it from left to right. I highly, highly recommend that you all read this manga, trust me you will not be disappointed, I hope you really enjoy it. There is a part 2 planned hopefully which will start in the fall.Summary
Taken from the wiki page...
The story set in the contemporary South Korea. Some 30 years ago, unidentified creatures appeared out of nowhere and have attacked people. They have caused massive destruction wherever they go. The monsters are called "Trouble"s, and get the world have fallen into chaos. Along with the first appearance of the "Trouble"s, some number of humans were born with or acquired supernatural abilities. These mutants called "Trace"s are the only ones who can fight the "Trouble"s. The "Trace" are also considered freaks and generally shunned by the community because some of them misused the powers for their own interest.
The plot revolves around two main characters. Sa Ghang Gwon, a high school student born as a "Trace" who attempts to hide his ability. The other is Kim Yun Seong, who acquired his "Trace" abilities during his early 30's.
It's funny, it's packed with gripping action all executed with such passion, and precision, and intensity, and also very moving deaths, the characters are very relatable, and you care for them. The story is just amazing, highly interesting & very well written, the drawings are just as good, you can sense the emotions on every1's faces.
The manga is just an absolute blast to read, I just can't get enough of it. Was very sad when I saw that it had ended recently, and was joyful when I found out a part 2 is planned. I'm still on Volume 5, altho Volume 3 with Rose and MorrieNoah Jin is my favorite. He's such a f**kin badass. The manga invokes so much emotions, really delves deep into human psyche. I don't have enough good things to say about this manga, except just wow, I was amazed. Man, I can't wait for an anime on this. And it's also in color. Enjoy.

2013-14 Interdisciplinary Research ClustersFor more information about any of the IRCs please contact the facilitators or Carol Withers.
Centenary of World War I
Paulette Pepin, Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Arts & Sciences
Rosa Mo, Health Professions and Science, College of Arts & Sciences
Next year (2014) will be the centenary of the start of World War I. Contemporaries saw this particular war as the "The Great War" or "The War to End All Wars," but in retrospect World War I is seen more importantly as the shockwave that ushered in the twentieth century and the modern world. This unprecedented struggle saw the collapse of the great European empires, the advent of mechanized warfare and the senseless deaths of millions. Initial support for this conflict generated enthusiastic patriotism and nationalism, which was fostered by artistic and sophisticated propaganda. Yet the unforeseen duration of the war coupled with the continued slaughter of millions promoted pacifist reactions. In addition this war, what the Wilsonians heralded as America's cause for entrance into the war in 1917, was "To make the world safe for Democracy," certainly provides a multitude of avenues for scholarly research. Thus this Research Cluster will be provided with the opportunity to explore all facts of the World War I era from various political, social, economic and cultural aspects.
Each participant will be able to choose a specific topic of exploration related to the "Centenary of World War I," and produce a project of scholarly significance related to their individual discipline and their overall professional goals.
First meeting of this IRC will be Monday, October 7, 1:30-3:00 in Maxcy 309
Rachel Anderson-Rabern, Theatre, College of Arts & Sciences
Todd Jokl, Art and Design, College of Arts & Sciences
Stuart Sidle, Psychology, College of Arts & Sciences
We propose an ongoing, interdisciplinary exploration based on the following assumptions:
- Creativity is the driving force behind the advancing of intellectual thought.
- Creativity is, and has been, an essential component to the general condition of human nature. It is vital to industry, and all academic and intellectual pursuits. Although it may be viewed in different ways and even described by any number of adjectives or nouns, the humanities, the arts, the physical and social sciences, and even business depend on creativity for advancements and progress. This makes it an important skill for all our students and faculty, alike.
- However, while creativity has been considered a core element of practice within the arts, and while it is strongly emphasized and encouraged in Engineering, it is often an understated and poorly understood component of other disciplines.
With this in mind, an IRC on creativity will focus on questions surrounding the basic nature and application of creativity at the University. For example, the IRC will address the questions:
- What is creativity?
- How can we understand the practice of creativity, historically?
- Does creativity really matter?
- How do we access creativity?
- How do we apply it to research and practice?
- Is creativity a process, a product, or something else?
- How can we encourage creativity through our curricula?
Because creativity is an essential component to every academic discipline, this IRC aims to open a robust dialogue on topics of creativity amongst faculty across the University.
Meeting schedule for the Creativity IRC:
Tuesday, October 1 at 12:05 in Maxcy 309.
Tuesday, October 22; 12:05; Bartels DeDominicus Conference Room
Tuesday, November 5; 12:05; Maxcy 309
Tuesday, November 19; 12:05; Maxcy 309
Tuesday, December 3; 12:05; Maxcy 309
Fostering Cultural Exchange and Interfaith Dialog between the US and the Middle East
Khadija Al Arkoubi, Management, College of Business
This cluster aims at creating a learning space for faculty, students and staff to interact around cultural and interfaith dialog issues. In line with UNH vision to develop its members' global mindset and nurture their cultural intelligence, it seeks to promote constructive and dialogic discussions and programs between the Middle East and the US. The goal is to appreciate the existing diverse identities, overcome stereotypes and prejudices and foster tolerance and acceptance.
Proposed Activities of the Group
- Conduct research projects pertaining to the theme of the cluster
- Write grants for research projects and cultural exchange programs
- Organize workshops and deliver presentations to explain the culture of the Middle East and introduce Islam
- Organize events where students can learn about the different faiths and religions and challenge their own assumptions
Perspectives of foreign-born Asian women scholars on American higher education
Eun-A (Mickey) Park, Communication, Film and Media Studies, College of Arts & Sciences
Rosa Mo, Division of Health Professions and Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences
This is a continuation of the AY12-13 IRC, but new members are welcome and encouraged.
Currently, we are in the process of collecting individual experiences and suggestions for concrete agendas. As an example, a specific plan for AY13-14 is to hold a workshop for which a couple of guest speakers will be invited. The invited Asian woman scholars and IRC members will join in discussing the intercultural experience in higher education, and have a chance to share ideas with the whole UNH community. As the first invitee, Dr. Xiaohong He, founding chair of the International Business Department at the School of Business at Quinnipiac University pleasantly agreed to participate in the workshop (see attached). At the workshop, each participant will have an opportunity to reflect on their personal experiences, identify challenges from the Asian women scholars' perspectives and elucidate them through theoretical and practical frameworks for improving the environmental climate on the UNH community. Also, by providing anecdotes about academic difficulties that Asian women scholars may have faced, this research will enhance publicity on this issue and provide guidelines for Asian women scholars about how to handle relevant situations.
Parallel/High Performance Computing on an Open Source Platform
Joseph Kolibal, Mathematics, College of Arts & Sciences
Michael Rossi, Biology, College of Arts & Sciences
This is a continuation of this effort from 2012 but new members are welcome.
The computational cluster is an essential part of developing a broader interdisciplinary program in computational science at UNH. Its activities are intended to allow faculty already engaged in highperformance computing to utilize an open source parallel computing environment, and it is designed to allow those who have no experience in this arena to learn about high performance computing, and to become familiar with developing and testing software in this environment.
This IRC provides a multifaceted introduction to parallel/open source computing built on a open source platform. The cluster participants will install, operate, and maintain an Ubuntu 12.04 based computer to be built on an Intel Xeon 55xx platform (providing 8 cores, and supporting up to 16 threads) with 48Gb 3-channel DDR3 ECC memory to maximize memory bandwidth. The approach is designed to provide hands-on experiential learning for the faculty, so that in turn, they can provide computational leadership to their colleagues at UNH.
