Pre-Electoral Landscape
As we get closer to the December 6 general elections, the Bolivian pre-electoral landscape is sorting itself out and candidacies seem to be emerging. The main reason is the upcoming deadline (September 7) to register political alliances. In addition, the candidate lists for president, vicepresident and members of congress (plurinationals) have to be presented as well.
As many readers surely have already seen in the Bolivian press, the negotiations among opposition leaders have been, the past weeks, nothing short of frantic. The Frente Amplio (Ample Front) could not be realized in spite of all the meetings and negotiations among opposition leaders. According to many reports, regional politics have played a major roll in these negotiations. Not only among the various regions such as La Paz, Cochabamba, Tarija and Santa Cruz (to mention some) but also within the regions themselves. Different groups have been trying to gain political relevance in light of the lack in leadership in the opposition.
In particular, dissent and lack of compromise have proven damaging to articulate an opposition front able to dispute the country's leadership in the next elections. From the many meetings and negotiations covered by the press, it has become clear that the opposition is plagued by too many leaders who don't seem to want to give up political aspirations. In the last two weeks Samuel Doria Medina (UN), Victor Hugo Cardenas (Gente), German Antelo (MNR), Manfred Reyes Villa (NFR), Rene Joaquino (AS), Alejo Veliz and Roman Loayza (the last two former MAS leaders) have declared themselves candidates. In La Paz, the discrepancies have been the strongest. To the dispute about who will make a good candidate, Cardenas has been confronted with political analyst and journalist Jimena Costa. The latter was suggested by one of the major paceno political forces, Plan Progeso's Jose Luis Paredes. It became later clear that the disagreement was concentrated on the making of the members of congress plurinational lists. The opposition's opium has been access to power.
However, within the las three days, Manfred Reyes Villa has been able to capitalize on one politically advantageous move, i.e. the nomination of former Pando Prefect Leopoldo Fernandez as his running mate. Fernandez has been in jail accused, by the government, for masterminding the Porvenir killings. The move is politically shrewd because many Bolivians think that Fernandez has been unjustly jailed, not because there is prof of his innocence, but because of the way the government has acted in his case. He was basically kidnapped and jailed before he was judged guilty. The Reyes Villa-Fernandez duo has attracted much support. Some of the groups already in camp are: Jose Luis Paredes, German Antelo, Mario Cossio, Sabina Cuellar, maybe even Rene Joaquino. The alliance name will be Plan Progreso para Bolivia - Convergencia Nacional (PPB-CN).
Other two candidacies are in the game as opposition. First, with the UN, Samuel Doria Medina and Gabriel Halbing Arauz (former union leader in Santa Cruz), with support of Oscar Ortiz, the Senate President. The other is AS with Rene Joaquino and Carlos Suarez (former evangelical priest). The government is currently in a comfortable position due to its poll showings in the upper 40s. Morales is in the middle of his campaign and the implementation of his electoral strategy to get the super majority in both chambers of congress.
Lastly, nothing is set on stone yet. The pieces could be reordered still as two more important dates are coming. The first one (October 17) is the deadline for the parties to present all the requirements confirming the candidates fulfill, again, all the requirements. The second date is November 21, which is the last day anyone can file an appeal to invalidate the accreditation of a candidate. After this last date, there won't be going back.

I was really sad to see the Masistas beating the opposition presidential candidates. Alejo Veliz got the worst of it. They hit him with sticks and rocks (got him in the mouth). Manfred Reyes Villa and German Antelo were also hit, as were several other people.
The also blocked the street to the National Electoral Court in an attempt to delay the candidates and make arrive late.
Worse, there was also fighting among the Masistas in themselves as Evo had apparently promised some of them would be on his list and they weren't. So he was delayed over three hours in turning in his list. In addition, he didn't include many women and (according to his own new constitution) the lists have to contain 1/2 women and 1/2 men. So that led to a protest by a large group of women demanding women be included on his lists.
I think all of this just sends a completely bad message and tarnishes Evo's reputation and that of the MAS. As if the government didn't do that well enough themselves already.
This whole situation is awfully depressing. What it says is that Bolivia is in for a long future of nothing but discrimination, intolerance and loss of democracy. Whether Evo wins or not.

Who is Arsenal's greatest captain? You can join the big debate during tonight's Matchday Show on Arsenal TV Online.
In the wake of Cesc Fabregas' appointment as Arsenal skipper, we'll be debating the merits of the Club's previous leaders before the Champions League clash with Dynamo Kyiv.
Former Gunner Paul Davis will be part of our commentary team and you can hear his thoughts on the captaincy issue before kick-off. As ever, your e-mails will be a key part of the show so have your say now. Remember to type 'Greatest Captain' in the e-mail subject bar.
To give you a helping hand, we've picked out eight of the Club's finest skippers. Read on, then tell us what YOU think.
You can have an immediate glimpse into the views of your fellow fans by taking part in our online poll.
Tom Parker
(Arsenal 1926-1933)
Captained the club to its first major trophy - the 1930 FA Cup. Signed by Herbert Chapman in 1926 and kicked off his Arsenal career with 172 consecutive first-team matches, a Club record that still stands today. A reliable defender, Parker led the side to the 1927 FA Cup Final but suffered defeat against Cardiff. Made amends three years later as Arsenal beat Huddersfield at Wembley. Parker skippered the side to its first League title in 1931 before leaving the Club in 1933.
Eddie Hapgood
(Arsenal 1927-1944)
Hapgood succeeded Parker as captain and was a key figure in Arsenal's all-conquering 1930s side under the stewardship of Herbert Chapman and then George Allison. Hapgood skippered the club to four League titles between 1933 and 1938 and lifted the FA Cup in 1936. He was just as influential for his country, winning 21 of his 30 caps as England captain. He wore the armband for the first time on November 14, 1934, in the infamous 'Battle of Highbury' against Italy.
Joe Mercer
(Arsenal 1946-1955)
Mercer joined Arsenal during a barren spell for the Club but soon lifted the team to greater heights. Appointed captain shortly after his arrival in 1946, Mercer led Arsenal to the title in 1948 and lifted the FA Cup in 1950, scooping the Footballer of the Year award in the same year. FA Cup Final defeat followed in 1952 but Mercer's influence told the following season when he captained Arsenal to another League championship.
Frank McLintock
(Arsenal 1964-1973)
McLintock started out as an inside-forward but was converted to centre-half and made captain by Bertie Mee in 1967. It was a masterstroke. McLintock overcame two League Cup Final defeats in the late 1960s to inspire a famous comeback in the 1970 Fairs Cup Final before leading Arsenal to the Club's first League and Cup 'double' a year later. The Scot led by example and was an influential figure in the dressing room and on the pitch.
Pat Rice
(Arsenal 1967-1980)
One of the Club's most loyal servants. Pat freely admits he wasn't the most naturally talented but sheer hard work got him into the first team and he stayed there throughout the 1970s. Pat reaped the rewards for his efforts as a member of the 1971 'double' side before captaining the Club to four Cup Finals between 1978 and 1980. Pat lifted the FA Cup at Wembley in 1979 after a dramatic win over Manchester United. Now assistant to Arsène Wenger and as respected as ever.
Kenny Sansom
(Arsenal 1980-1988)
Not the noisiest of captains but his record for club and country demanded respect. Kenny is still the most capped left back in England history (with 86 appearances) and nobody has won more international caps as an Arsenal player. He led his club through a barren spell in the mid-1980s but got his hands on a trophy in his final full season as captain, lifting the Littlewoods Cup in 1987 after a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley.
Tony Adams
(Arsenal 1983-2002)
Often referred to as Mr. Arsenal, Tony was the ultimate one-club man. Became Arsenal's youngest ever captain (aged just 21 years and 82 days) when he succeeded Sansom in 1988 and led the Club to nine major trophies, including League titles in three different decades. Tony was the ultimate leader, bringing the best out of his team-mates and putting himself on the line for the Arsenal cause. Now manager at Portsmouth but still a legend to Arsenal supporters.
Patrick Vieira
(Arsenal 1996-2005)
Arsenal's first foreign captain and the obvious choice to succeed Adams in 2002. Proved leadership credentials by skippering Cannes as a teenager and led Arsenal with distinction, lifting the FA Cup in 2003 before playing a key role in the unbeaten title campaign which followed. The captain of The Invincibles was probably the Premier League's finest midfielder at his peak, helping Wenger's Arsenal become a major force in Europe once more.

The Biomedical Sciences Research Institute (BMSRI) was formally established on 1st October 2004. The Research Director (together with the Dean of Life & Health Sciences and the Head of the School of Biomedical Sciences) has responsibility for the overall research strategy of the Institute, resource allocation, staff development, attainment targets, dissemination of information and reporting performance, and enhancement of the Institute's profile within the University and in the broader research community.
The BMSRI is one of 6 Research Institutes (RI) within the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences and is based on the Coleraine Campus. The BMSRI specialises in the study of the biological mechanisms (especially those which relate to gene-nutrient interactions) associated with degenerative diseases – eg., cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and visual deterioration. Members of the Institute are conducting pioneering research in these areas, with a determination to investigate the underlying causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human degenerative diseases.
The BMSRI is also exploiting the remarkable opportunities made possible by recent molecular advances: revolutionary changes in biomedicine and biotechnology that will soon transform whole industries and economies, but which offer particular advantages in our field. The proper application of the results of our research can confidently be expected, over the next decade, to transform our understanding of human biology and pathology by giving us a real understanding of their very complex molecular aspects. The BMSRI is actively pursuing these goals by applying a range of rapidly developing techniques: bioimaging, systems biology, genomics, proteomics, transgenics etc., to a variety of problems in human health.
In addition, the BMSRI is committed to providing scientific support for the knowledge-intensive, high-added value biotechnological and biomedical industries, which are establishing themselves in Northern Ireland, and which may reasonably be expected to make substantial contributions to economic renewal. Prospects in medical products and biotechnology and in the modification of foods to produce more valuable, healthier products, are remarkably promising.


text: So there is no confusion, when we chatted earlier I saw what you saw. It just doesn't bother me because it is what it is ;D And to add further to that if it does bother V&M and they feel like they are being shortchanged they have a choice to change this next season. I think this season with the coaching split they are all (D&W, V&M and Shibs) just trying to keep their feet on the ground and there really is no time to do anything. If they wanted to do something. I believe in the talent of V&M, I really think they have something special that can't be taught.

Re: Ultrasonic Reverse Parking Assist System retrofit in Gen. IV (OBDII)

Re: Ultrasonic Reverse Parking Assist System retrofit in Gen. IV (OBDII)
So um... N* where abouts are you located I want to come get a autograph from you cause you sir are a legend on this fourm.
Great work man
Re: Ultrasonic Reverse Parking Assist System retrofit in Gen. IV (OBDII)
Today I installed the remaining In-Car harness, my car now has 1 PZM and 2 RIMs (RIM no 1= Radio Integration Module, and RIM no 2 = Rear Integration Module).
The second RIM has functions for fuel level, internal lights, rear defogger, ELC, Reverse relay and some other doubling the PZM. Yes that is right I can just transfer some of these to the RIM from PZM (basically I have some redundancy), but the main function of the RIM is requesting chimes when the URPAS module command so.
Everything is wired up (VSS, IGN1, CONFORT, GND, Reverse Signal and Data line), I did not installed the URPAS module yet (not connected) as I had no time for the sensors and with no sensors it goes into error mode (basically the red LED flashes while in reverse). I was tended to do at least a rear life test with the sensors taped to the bumper but unfortunately I was late for dinner (you know Easter and family and such) so I have to wait till next weekend. Well I did a quick test making sure the modules are wired correctly and I get signal to the TellTale.
Thank Cadillac for designing one spot on the far right of the electronics bay (roughly the same position where the RIM is mounted in the newer cars). I couldn't find anywhere in the FSM a reference for what this spot was reserved for and is a perfect fit for the RIM (looks like a provision for a option that never make it in production). Literally I have 0 extra space on that electronics bay now, can't add anything more (not that I have anything else to add except the OnStar stuff - but since the analog system is not working...no point adding it).
One note the 3 LEDs on the TellTale module are a bit too bright (especially in shade/dark), and project a slight pattern of light on the headliner. It would have been nice if the dimming was taken in consideration, but since there is no data line to the URPAS no way coordinating the dimming with the dimmer switch. Too bad because the information is present on the data line. I could add this option by controlling the supply voltage based on the dimmer voltage (I would have to add the dimmer signal to the URPAS not too complicated, but for now I better finish the install).
As an observation I can see about the same approach as with the memory seat modules. It appears to be commissioned to an independent team fairly insulated from the others (perhaps outside GM) so it had very little integration with the rest of the system (remember the lack of ignition voltage signal to the massage module leading to the 10 minute timer). Either this or the option was started a bit later into the design stage. This explains why they chose the digital input to the RIM solution to request chimes rather than adding the data line to the URPAS (more complicated firmware for the URPAS). I guess, financially it was less expensive to add an extra input to the RIM as the firmware was easy to change to support the chimes as the data line interface was already done.
This is a picture of the connector for the harness to the TellTale module (left side of the electronics bay near the ELC CB. You can see the 2 connectors for the PZM (the 98+PZM!!). Unfortunately I had no pictures with the location of the RIM, it was far more interesting as it has the Data wires, VSS, Chime input and few others, but by the end of the install I had no more time for pictures as I was running late.

Re: Ultrasonic Reverse Parking Assist System retrofit in Gen. IV (OBDII)
A slight bad news...I just discovered that one of the URPAS sensors is not working. I am not sure if I mentioned but I did noticed one of the sensors was replaced (according to the MFG date in ~'02-'03), obviously the yo-yo at the dealership did not installed the rubber seal. It turns out this replacement sensor is not working. I did notice, once in a while, I had hard time with the system to initiate, few times after boot was in error mode. Again thank God for the diagnose mode I was able to figure out (based on the LED flash pattern) that sometimes I have issues with the sensors. After spending 2 days on it I got so familiarized with the way it works that I know when to disregard some other errors that are caused by me (say I did not emulated properly the switch into reverse in the first 5 seconds after entering in diagnose mode and such). Finally I insulated the issue to that sensor so now I am in the market for a sensor (go figure the replacement sensor failed, why I am not surprised).
The thing is the FSM is not very accurate, perhaps "detailed" would be a better word. For example it mentions that when entering in diagnose mode ensure you shift into reverse in the next 5 seconds after turning ignition ON (no reason why). That translates in my word in: "ensure the reverse input has a transition from Hi to Lo in the first 5 seconds after powering the URPAS module with the diagnose input grounded.
The reason for these 5 seconds is the URPAS expects to see this transition during these 5 seconds count down, it is the only way to know the reverse input is wired correctly.
I was ignoring this since I noticed that for bench test I don't even need to ground or pull to voltage this input. I had to look at the PCB and understand the schematic. Turns out that the input is pulled HI in the URPAS and if the wire is not connected (floating input from my point of view not knowing the URPAS internal schematic) basically it is pulled high. The firmware expects to initiate with the input pulled to GND and this is true when connected in the car as the bulbs do pull the input to GND (trough the fairly small filament resistance) since you can't start the car while in reverse.
So only after I eliminated all these I was able to figure out what is real warning and what is bogus.
I am not sure where I am going to find a parking sensor (I see eBay has one here and there but is at least $70). To be honest the sensor is nothing but a tweeter/microphone combo and doesn't worth this amount of money. But I paid $32 for a sticker (in 2 occasions) so I've done worst.
This is what I used to diagnose the sensor. Since the TellTale module and the RIM and the harness is in the car, I had to fabricate a TellTale simulate and all the wires and the RIM (lots of work just for diagnosing a stupid sensor).
Re: Ultrasonic Reverse Parking Assist System retrofit in Gen. IV (OBDII)
Great news, I am back on track, today I scored another 4 parking sensors (complete with all the hardware) and just for good measure I took the URPAS module too, as it was the same price ($20).
Now the sensors are again in the spray booth for painting (tomorrow morning) and out of 8 sensors I got to have at least 4 working (I know one is not working but still I have 7 more).
Unfortunately I may not be able to install the sensors in the bumper this weekend either, lets see how tomorrow goes, if not next weekend.
Re: Ultrasonic Reverse Parking Assist System retrofit in Gen. IV (OBDII)
Got my second set of sensors back from the body shop.
Remember I have 2 URPAS module to choose from, the first one from a '00 Deville and the second from a '04 Buick Rendezvous.
The P# are different but as far as I can tell other than the 5V supply chip inside there is no difference except for one note on the label "SW 3.0" v.s. the Deville one "SW 2.2". And after a bench test you can tell the difference between the two firmware versions, the Rendezvous URPAS module is faster to react than the Deville one. If I move the object in and out from the sensors field of "vision" the Rendezvous module notice the movement much, much faster is a very obvious difference. I guess the Randevouz module goes in rather than the Deville. Also the new parking sensors are all working fine so I have now 7 working sensors to choose from.
This weekend should be the weekend when I'm finishing the retrofit.
Another thing, the 3.0 firmware also includes a "disable" input, in the Deville is not wired. I will not use it but is good to have the option.

I had purchased a Sony Nex but then just handed it over to my brother for his bday before he moved to France so I haven't had a chance to even play with it. I think im going to swing for another one soon and was just wondering if the Nex was the way to go for mirror-less cameras or should i explore a different avenue and maybe get a nikon or something.
Or should I get an entry level dslr?

Well, for one, the Glock and the XD have very similar safety features. The XD has both a trigger ang grip safety, while the Glock has a trigger only (internals aside). So, if you have an issue with the Glock safety, why not the XD?
As far as shooting low... shoot something else, too! Really, you should try to rent as many guns as you're interested in, hold and shoot them all. At the end of the day, get what makes you happy!
Which Beretta were you shooting? The 92FS (like Mel Gibson's in Lethal Weapon), or their new PX4?
I have an XD9 Subcompact and I love it. It's a great little carry gun, and it fit my hand and wallet the best, which is why I bought it. I also have a Beretta 96 (a .40 cal) and it's a nice shooting gun too. They both have been incredibly reliable. I shoot more accurately with the XD, however. As for a couple of other guns similar to the Glock and XD, you should look at the Taurus PT111 and Walther P99 (and it's Smith and Wesson brother). Of all these guns, I'm pretty sure the Taurus will be the most affordable, definitely if you're looking for a NEW gun. I've seen them for $349 around here, where all the others seem to start around $450-500 dollars new.
Lastly, if you're going to use it also as a "stopping" weapon for camping, what will you be stopping? People or animals? If you're worried about a big beast, like a bear, closing in on you, you'll pretty much just piss it off on its way to devouring you if you're shooting any of the calibers you listed. I'm sure others will chime in, but in threads like these in the past, for a camping gun everyone always seems to recommend a large revolver, like a .44mag, IIRC.

In 1939 the Admiralty issued an instruction to the Board of Trade stating that masters of merchant vessels were not to enter destinations or ports of call on the ships' logs or the crew lists and agreements, for reasons of security. However, it was still important to know and record the movements of merchant vessels and to this end the series of cards within BT 389 was commenced by the Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen.
These records are now online and available for searching. No passenger or crews names are on these cards, but would add to the history of any ancestors who were on these vessels.

Arsène Wenger insists his team must move on quickly from Tuesday night's surprise defeat to Bradford.
Arsenal crashed out of the Capital One Cup at the Coral Windows Stadium after losing 3-2 on penalties to their League Two opponents.
While Wenger was dismayed at the result, he says his side must turn their attention to future performances now.
"[The squad felt] disappointment and frustration," he said. "That is normal when you go out in a competition like that. Having said that, we can only look at ourselves, get on with it and look to the future.
"This team cares, is serious and wants to do well. I do not question the spirit of the team.
"We are top professional people. What is important is what happens tomorrow, not what happened yesterday. We are sorry for [the defeat to Bradford] but what is important is the next game."

Finsky may be right that this has not been tested in studies, but it appears a study needs to be done. If it works, it works, whether or not a university scientist has done a study. (I do agree that studies are the best way to find out whether it does work.)
Does that make any sense at all?
Also, does anybody know the source of these regulations?

It was brilliant, seeing all my family like that so happy."

"I guess it was always going to be surreal. I became a fan when I left the Club so now I know exactly how it feels to score for the club that you support.

Kieran Gibbs, in March, on the atmosphere at the Emirates
"There's no difference between what I'm doing now and, let's say, five years ago. You know, my normal age is 31 but in football years I'm 29 - I lost two years because of injury so let's just talk about my football age. I still believe I have plenty in me."
Tomas Rosicky on feeling reinvigorated
"Yes, it was a little bit of a dream, because it was a story about football you would tell some young children. Unfortunately it is not often like that in our game, but sometimes it happens."
Arsène Wenger on Thierry Henry's comeback goal against Leeds
"Paul Ashcroft deserves it completely. He is in the tradition of our groundsmen. All of our groundsmen deserve immense credit; they are really Champions League material."
Arsène Wenger on the Club winning 'Groundsman of the Year'
"It is more than excitement, it is an absolute privilege and an honour. I know I have some big boots to fill with Pat having spent 44 years at the Club and that is going to be the hard part. I will be learning on the job a little bit but myself and Neil Banfield are more than excited."
Steve Bould on being appointed assistant manager
"I have to give credit to Kieran Gibbs. The boss has always says, 'you have to be ready when you come off the bench' and Gibbsy made probably made the most important tackle of his career so far."
Theo Walcott on Kieran Gibbs' last-gasp tackle against West Brom
"Yes [I am surprised] because I don't know where the other 899 have gone!"
Arsène Wenger on reaching 900 games in charge
"I'm loving every minute of it. It is my first time in the Far East and the boys were telling me beforehand that the fans are unbelievable and so loud. I thought, 'Nah, it can't be anything I haven't heard before' but it is amazing. It makes you realise how huge Arsenal are when you come out to somewhere like Asia and the fans all love you."
Benik Afobe on experiencing his first Arsenal tour
"My wife gets a bit upset when I call Arsenal my 'first love'!"
Terry Burton on returning to the Club
"The first shock in China was how quickly the country has developed. But the second thing for me was how much people know about our club. When we are in China it was unbelievable. I had a press conference at Hangzhou and people in the room knew more about Arsenal than I did!"
Arsène Wenger on returning to China on tour
"The atmosphere around you and the support of fans, it makes me feel better and better. I feel very emotive and proud to play for Arsenal. When I heard the fans' song [for me]... when I came here for the first time, I heard this song and it made me want to die on the pitch for the fans."
Olivier Giroud on the support from the fans
"He's an absolute soldier, someone you'd always want in front of you, a real leader who just wants to win. I'm happy for him - he had his injury problems last season but he's one of the best defenders in the world without a doubt."
Theo Walcott on Thomas Vermaelen
"You know when you get a buzz off a player, and you could bounce off him and get good vibes. Santi has that with everyone because he's that sort of player."
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on playing with Santi Cazorla
"I have spoken to Robert Pires because he played with me at Villarreal. Obviously he knew about the rumours of me coming here and always encouraged me to sign. He told me it was a very good club and I was going to enjoy London, the city and the move. The same with Cesc Fabregas. He said this was a big club and that I was going to be very happy here, he said I would adapt easily. I can feel that."
Santi Cazorla on getting advice from some former Gunners
"I am a fan of this Club and that will never change. I am just lucky enough to have been given the ability and the chance to play for my club. I was going to watch Arsenal the same as the fans were and [now] just count myself very lucky to represent them as a fan who has become a player. It doesn't come around very often and I just feel privileged and honoured to be that person."
Carl Jenkinson on playing for his childhood club
"We went from disaster to, I must say at least at some stage, pride."
Arsène Wenger on the incredible 7-5 win against Reading
"It felt amazing to be back. From the moment that I went out there, the fans were great. It's been a long journey. As I've just been told, it's been 524 days since my last game. That's a long time."
Jack Wilshere on making his comeback after 14 months out
"Finishing the season unbeaten was massive. It's incredible to go unbeaten. I'm still young so hopefully there will be many more seasons where I can be a part of a team that achieves that."
Danielle Carter on the Ladies winning a domestic double
"They say he's a master in kung fu. You could see that on Wednesday night. You need some special flexibility, subtleness and physical strength to do that, apart from the fact that you have to realise what you have to do."
Arsène Wenger on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's wonder goal against England
"My team are winners. It's not really about me. It's something that is generated throughout the whole club and through Vic Akers' era. It's just the club as a whole. When people come into it, it's what they have to buy into. You're either a winner or you leave."
Laura Harvey on winning the Women's Super League title

Hannity delivers three more RNC-inspired Kerry distortions
On the August 17 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes [1], co-host Sean Hannity [2] echoed three Republican talking points distorting Senator John Kerry's (D-MA) record on the war on terrorism. Hannity's most recent parroting comes despite his previous denial [3] that he uses "any party talking points."
Hannity claimed that by voting for and then against the $87 billion appropriations bill to support U.S. troops in Iraq, Kerry showed that he "won't fund the people that he voted to send into war." He also erroneously asserted that Kerry claimed to be "the anti-war president" and mischaracterized the senator's call for a "more thoughtful and sensitive war on terror."
Hannity's accusation that Kerry "won't fund" the troops that "he voted to send into war" echoes a Bush-Cheney '04 talking point [4]. In fact, Kerry voted [5] against the $87 billion appropriations bill on October 17, 2003 -- the day after he clearly stated that his vote would not be a vote against funding American troops' efforts in Iraq, but instead would be a vote "to hold the president accountable and force him finally to develop a real plan that secures the safety of our troops and stabilizes Iraq." In addition [6], Daily Howler editor Bob Somerby [7] has noted [8]: "Six days after Kerry voted 'no' -- rejecting a form of the bill he disfavored -- [President George W.] Bush said he would veto the bill if it included provisions which he didn't like."
Hannity's false claim that Kerry described himself as "the anti-war president" echoed statements [9] by RNC chairman Ed Gillespie, Vice President Dick Cheney, and President Bush, among others. It also echoed an RNC attack ad that attempted to back up the erroneous claim by using misleading editing to skew comments Kerry made during a January broadcast of MSNBC's Hardball [10]. Hardball host Chris Matthews corrected the record on August 16, saying that Kerry -- responding to a question from Matthews -- had in fact said he considered himself an "anti-war candidate" only "in the sense" that he opposed the way the Bush administration "took us to war."
Finally, Hannity's verbal attack on Kerry's "sensitive" remark echoed Vice President Dick Cheney's ridicule of comments Kerry made in an August 5 speech [11]. Hannity did not mention the fact [12] that Bush, Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and Attorney General John Ashcroft have all used the word "sensitive" to describe foreign policy on numerous occasions and in a variety of contexts -- including how the United States should fight the war on terrorism.

CHAPEL HILL --- Sophomore guard Brittany Rountree scored 22 points to lead North Carolina past No. 25 Georgetown 63-48 in Carmichael Arena on Wednesday in the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT.
Rountree hit six 3-pointers in the win, just one shy of her career high, to lead UNC's offense and tie with Georgetown's Sugar Rodgers for the most points on the night.
Megan Buckland scored 13 points off the bench and hit three 3-pointers of her own, while Waltiea Rolle finished with 10 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Krista Gross led all rebounders with 15 boards.
Georgetown (2-1) led Carolina just once, taking a 2-0 lead with the first shot of the night before the Tar Heels strung together a 12-0 run. The Tar Heels overcame 35 turnovers thanks to a stifling defensive effort that held the Hoyas to just 23.5 percent shooting for the game.
Carolina (3-0) led Georgetown 26-22 at the half, heading into the break off a 3-pointer from Buckland.
Gross led the Tar Heels at the half with eight points, followed by Rolle who chipped in seven points and three blocks. Xylina McDaniel's seven boards also added to UNC's defensive effort, as Carolina outrebounded the Hoyas 31-22. By game's end, Carolina kept its advantage on the glass, outrebounding Georgetown 53-42.
The Tar Heels pushed ahead of Georgetown on a 16-6 run following the break and maintained that edge on similar runs throughout the second half. Back-to-back 3s from Buckland gave the Tar Heels a 14-point lead with less than 13 minutes remaining.
Georgetown stayed in the game largely thanks to Rodgers, who had a team-high 22 despite shooting just 6 of 24 from the field. The All-America guard also became the Hoyas' all-time leading scoring with a free throw late in the game. Andrea White added 11 points to Georgetown's effort.
UNC advances to the Preseason WNIT championship game against Iowa Sunday in Iowa City. That game is set for 4 p.m. ET and will be televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network.

Cowboys open season with 10th place finish at Sidney Invite
The Custer County District High School wrestling team took a small group of wrestlers to the season-opening Sidney Invite last weekend, where they placed 10th in the team standings with 47 points.
"For the kids that I took with us, we did a great job," Cowboys Head Coach Jon Harris said. "They wrestled really hard. It wasn't a real tough tournament, but it was a good opening weekend for us. I have a lot of young kids, so it showed them what they need to do, the hard work they need to do for the next couple months to make it through divisionals and state."
Sidney ran away with the team title with 237 points. Bowman, N.D., was second with 148 and Forsyth was third at 139.5.
Cord Murray was the highlight for the Cowboys, winning the heavyweight division. He beat Hunter Herbaugh of Glendive in the championship bout.
Sophomore Torrey Watts had a good opening tournament, in a very tough weight class. He was third at 126 pounds, behind a pair of Sidney wrestlers. He also beat a Glendive wrestler, Anthony James, in the third-place match.
Wyatt Smith was fifth at 145 pounds and Bryan Brush and Alex Bradford each placed sixth at 160 pounds and heavyweight, respectively.
The Cowboys will be in action for the first time at home on Thursday night when they host Glendive in a dual.
Action gets started in the afternoon with a junior high meet. The JV wrestlers will start at 6 p.m., followed by the varsity at 7 p.m.
