I have donated my money towards TechPB players club and I wondered the same and asked about it. TechPb Willie said:
dont take this the wrong way but,
i dont get it.
so you charge people $30 so they can use ur bst form. how is this going to stop people from scamming? this is just like asm on pbnation its pointless. just because people pay $30 to use it dose not mean they are not going to scam. so big deal you have there paypal account, thats not going to get you stuff or money back. go look at pbnation, asm scam on there all the time.
techpb couldn't come up with anything better then this?
i guess ebays still the way to go...
csskiller - No this will not be the finished product. We would like to have a Ebay style auction site. But we need money in order to purchase it and a second server. I can not run the software on my current server. But with everyone's help we are hoping to have it done maybe by the beginning of the year if we continue to receive the support we have been getting.
Thanks for the continued support.
At the moment it's nothing really that amazing, basically is a PB nation style sales site. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know how it goes. Some day maybe (probably I think atleast) the BST will become free for everyone.
But I feel that I had a small but important part in making helping techpb along to make the paintball world a better place.
My Feedback
RIP BORG, you will be dearly missed in the paintball world for all you have done for us.

Do prepaid credit cards work with paypal?
That could be a way people under 18 or cant access a debit/credit card could join the club.
But it -does- only take a checking account with a debit card to sign up for paypal so im not sure the confusion.
I don't think prepaid credit cards work with paypal.
Before I turned 18 and got a credit card I had paypal hooked straight to my bank account. Just go to your bank and tell them you need a form with your bank account info for direct deposit for work. They should give it to you and you can set up your paypal account with JUST your bank account. It takes longer to make payments though. For me it takes about a week for the payment to clear, but you can have paypal with NO credit card at all.

haha, c'mon man did you read the first post??? You pay $30 for a $25 shirt, and access to an exclusive bst that offers protection up to $200 plus some serious discounts for techpb..... So it's the same if not better than ebay seeing as how ebay is not exclusive, not widely used for paintball, and offers no protection except what is offered through paypal.....

v3ngeance- the thing is though that in the process of signing up for this club, techpb gets alot of identifying info from you.
mike talks about this here: http://www.techpb.co...?showtopic=5871
so basically as a scammer, you'd pay $30, scam someone, and then get a new boyfriend in prison named bruno. =o
Hip Hop is a culture and the vocal aspect of Hip Hop is called Rap. These terms are not synonyms.

I think it's a good thing and a bad thing. I was more happy when techpb had it's own corrner in the world and was kinda small. But I am also happy that all of the wonderfull people of the techpb community are being informed and encoraged to go out and play paintball. and newer players have something positive to look up to like mike and be informed on good deals and avoid the not so good items (I almost bought an ion then I was like "wait mike told me not to"). Now I do relize that mike has put in alot of money into paintball for the sake of getting the facts and informing us of them. The downside is now I have to pay $30 to access that I could spend that going to my local feild for a weekend and playing a game of paintball or I could sit at my house on the computer learning about paintball. I'm not saying that mikes wrong to do this hes done so much for us and I also relize that Techpb has been a big investment for him and we should probably help him with that. I personaly am not joining as long as the price is $30 I am not that rich and can't afford it if it was around $15 then I would certainly consider it but for now no. (quick calculation 20000 + subscribers x 30 =$600,000+)
Well, that's your decision. But your math is flawed. You assume all 20,000 have joined players club. The actual number of Player's Club members is around 300 last I knew.

Why can't people just enjoy Call of Duty AND Battlefield? If all of you notice how much different they are...why are you even comparing them?
Plus, MW2 has 60 fps; if it wanted to make it look like Battlefield they'd be compromising smooth game-play for it. Nobody would enjoy Call of Duty with Bad Company sluggishness. So, you guys need to build a bridge and get-over it. ;p

What was once bad for you is now good
What was once bad for you is now good. Let's celebrate with a glass of wine and some chocolate! Remember the old days when your mom cut back on the number of eggs she served you because it could cause your cholesterol to skyrocket? Or when chocolate was a no no?
Well, no more. New studies have proven that many of the foods we once avoided for their villainous reputations may actually be good for us and it's OK to keep them in our diet. In fact, there are health benefits to indulging, so let's celebrate with a glass of wine and some dark chocolate. Now no one is suggesting over-indulging, but in moderation such things as red wine, dark chocolate, eggs and even popcorn can help our heart health, lower breast cancer risk and even reduce body mass.
Of course, doctors and researchers are also quick to point out that no one should make broad-based dietary changes based on just one study. New and varied data comes out every day, so it's possible that tomorrow we'll be removing these treats from our diet once again.
For now, here are some things that were once thought to be bad that we can now happily consume:
Red Wine and Heart Health: Red wine in moderation is now thought of as heart healthy. The antioxidants like flavonoids and resveratrol found in red wine more than other types of alcohol may actually help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of "good" cholesterol and protecting against artery damage. Good news for anyone who likes to imbibe a glass with their evening meal. Though doctors are wary of encouraging anyone to take up drinking since too much can be harmful, they have given the go-ahead to enjoy a nightly glass without feeling guilty.
Chocolate and brain health: Recent studies have found powerful health benefits to dark chocolate, linking it to many things including helping protect against intestinal diseases like colon cancer, to reducing risk of developing heart disease and boosting brain health in seniors.
A study published in the journal Hypertension looked at data from 90 seniors who already had mild cognitive impairment and found that their attention and other mental skills improved when they drank cocoa with high amounts of flavanols.
Chocolate is not only full of antioxidants that protect against many types of cancer, it also has a positive effect on mood and cognitive health. It contains phenylethylamine (PEA), the same chemical your brain creates when you feel like you're falling in love. PEA encourages your brain to release endorphins, so eating dark chocolate will make you feel happier — as if we didn't already know that!
Eggs and Good Cholesterol: Once we thought an omelet that included the yolks was practically a heart attack on a plate, but no more. There's been a shift due to new research that indicates that eggs – yolks included – aren't so bad for your heart. But don't get us started on bacon!
Studies have found that yolks contain some important nutrients that aren't found in the whites, including the all-important vitamin D and that their high cholesterol content actually boosts the heart protective "good" cholesterol and not the blood level of cholesterol, which is associated with increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Popcorn and Antioxidants: Instead of being off-limits because of its fat content (if you drench it in butter), popcorn is now being heralded as a low-calorie snack that may contain more healthy antioxidants – called polyphenols — than fruits and vegetables. Polyphenols have been shown to boost cardiovascular health and protect against chronic diseases and popcorn has a very high concentration of them, especially in the hulls.
It's also a whole grain food, which makes it a high-quality carbohydrate source that is low in calories and a good source of fiber. So air-pop some fresh kernels (stay away from the pre-packaged microwavable varieties that can be laden with fat, salt, chemicals and calories) and head to the movies.
The bottom line is that so called "bad" foods can actually have some good properties. So don't go overboard but know that having a little can be good for you. Have you put any foods back in your diet due to current research? Let us know.

plays the music you love
Medeski Martin & Wood
Gramavision released It's a Jungle in Here in 1993, which featured horn arrangements by future Sex Mob founder (and pan-scenester) Steven Bernstein. The medley of Thelonious Monk's "Bemsha Swing" and Bob Marley's "Lively Up Yourself" spoke volumes about what the band was attempting to accomplish. Friday Afternoon in the Universe, widely considered the band's breakthrough record, further continued the push toward groove-oriented accessibility, a move that peaked with the group's 1996 Rykodisc debut, Shack-Man (recorded entirely in the band's practice shack in the Maui jungle). By 1996, through a combination of endless touring and two widely circulated live collaborations with Phish, the group caught on in the burgeoning jam band scene, where they have continued to draw the bulk of their audience outside of New York.
Late in 1996, the group began a public return to its avant-garde roots, hosting a series of weekly "shack parties" at New York's Knitting Factory that featured collaborations with many musicians, including Vernon Reid and DJ Logic; the latter would soon become the group's unofficial fourth member. MMW issued the extremely free (and utterly beautiful) Farmer's Reserve on their own Indirecto imprint in 1997, a series of improvisations recorded at the Shack. Logic soon joined the band on the road, and MMW prepared to record Combustication, their first effort for Blue Note, as well as their first full-length collaboration with producer Scott Harding. In 2000, MMW truly came out as leaders with a pair of releases -- the live acoustic Tonic (recorded at the New York City club of the same name) and the electric The Dropper (recorded at the band's newly christened Shacklyn Studios in the trendy DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn) -- as well as an acclaimed Halloween performance at Manhattan's Beacon Theater. The Dropper featured Harding's gritty production, as well as appearances by Sun Ra alum Marshall Allen. In 2006, the group released Out Louder, an album that saw the trio collaborate with John Scofield. Their music was also featured on Grey's Anatomy.
Radiolarians I, the first of three loosely linked albums, appeared in the fall of 2008 on the group's own Indirecto Records imprint. Radiolarians II and III followed a year later, as did the trio's box set entitled Radiolarians: The Evolutionary Set, containing the trilogy, a disc of remixes by celebrated DJs, a live CD, a double-LP chosen from the three original albums, and a DVD documentary shot by Martin entitled Fly in a Bottle. At this stage of the band's nearly two-decade career, MMW's reputation has indeed achieved massive proportions.
As they always have, the three core bandmembers contribute to numerous other recording projects, both as sidemen and leaders. They are also recognized for carving paths that other musicians have followed -- for example, their rise in popularity contributed to a renaissance in B-3-based organ trios, and although many groups had played with DJs before them, MMW's performances with DJ Logic made it downright fashionable. And while still considered an "alternative" jazz group, Medeski, Martin & Wood continue to draw larger audiences than many of their mainstream counterparts. In 2011, MSMW Live: In Case the World Changes Its Mind was released by Indirecto Records. The double-length set was culled from the Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood 2006 world tour; its contents reflect material off Scofield's A Go Go and MSMW's studio offering Out Louder. They also released 20, a collection of new songs and previously unrecorded older material. In 2012, MMW issued Free Magic, a live document of tunes taken from their 2007 acoustic tour. Its members concentrated on solo projects for the next year. On August 27, 2013 at Applehead Studios in Woodstock, New York in front of an intimate gathering of 75 ticket holders, MMW renewed their collaboration with guitarist Nels Cline. The recorded result, Woodstock Sessions 2, appeared in April of 2014.
Earlier that year, the trio commenced recording a third studio effort with Scofield, informally assembled of original music inspired by cultures from Brazil to Latin America to the Caribbean as well as 1960s covers. Juice was released in September of 2014. ~ Jesse Jarnow

One of the advantages of being over 100 is that everybody is young in comparison. So I don't need a time machine, thank you very much. My favourite bulge-boggling celebrities, even when they're over the hill, are still fifty years younger than me.
What I won't stomach, though, is blubber. Nothing is guaranteed to turn my ardent fuck more quickly into an arid FAQ. Take Morrissey. How on earth can anyone become that lardy on a vegetarian diet? There's only one possible answer: buttered parsnips. All right, margarined parsnips in his case, so that the beautiful butter need not die.
But can you imagine approaching those celebrated lips, source of a million waspish stings, with a rose - in order to reproduce, for a frisky private photo session, those famous Life magazine photographs of Mishima in a loincloth - only to catch an acrid whiff of margarined parsnip and understand exactly why those "mad, mad lovers must pause and draw the line"? Wouldn't you fear that a single thorn from your rose would pop him like a balloon? And where is that loincloth, anyway? Don't say it's ridden up between two flabby folds of vegan buttock?
And yet it's this elephantine yodeling lout - more cake than coke, more Fattenburg than Battenburg, more Debenhams than debonair - who poses, starkers as the stork brought him, on his album sleeves, his cock in a sock. There's clearly much meat in humble pie, but I wouldn't poke that navvy with a jester cane.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Holding Tank
Well Gentlemen,
I think we beat this one up pretty good. With all the various theories, specifications, links and experience donated to this question, I think I can get the job done. I thank you all.
Holding Tank
Just looked at Jabsco site Gord posted, 9'' head rating for discharge pump (~4.5 PSI) I''ll be darned, never even occurred to me that tank could be higher I just imagined the tank always trying to empty itself into the lower toliet. Heads are such a pain.
Holding Tank
Vented Loops on Below Waterline Heads:
If the Head is installed below the waterline, or may be below the waterline at any angle of heel (virtually always on a sailboat) - properly positioned Vented Loops must be installed.
Vented Loops should be installed on BOTH the Raw-Water Intake Line, between the Intake Seacock and the Head - AND - also on the Head Discharge Line between the Head and the Holding Tank.
ADDITIONALY, a Vented Loop should be installed in the 3/4" Hose between the Toilet Pump and the back of the Bowl. The factory-installed 3/4" Hose must be removed, and a new (longer) Hose c/w Vent installed.
The top of all the Vented Loops must be (about 8") above the waterline at the greatest angle of heel.
Of course, sub-standard installations abound - and most of them work just fine - and havn''t sunk their owner''s boats. So maybe these Loopless schemes are "good enough".
Or you could do it right.
Holding Tank
With no overboard discharge, you will not need a vented loop in the waste line. Capttb''s response is right, except I agree with alanporter that you won''t need to locate the tank inlet below the toilet outlet (virtually impossible on most sailboats that I know).
If you are using lake water to flush (i.e., a thruhull), you still would be prudent to include a vented loop in the intake line. There are a lot of boats that fail to do this, but if the pump seals were to fail, you could siphon the lake into your boat. WHOOSH is right about the placement of the antisiphon vented loop, but that is frequently tricky with a head like the W-C you have. The toilet will still work with the vented loop between the thruhull and the toilet pump, but you will have to give it quite a few pumps to establish a prime and you''ll hear a nice squeal as the air escapes from the duckbill flap in the vented loop.
Holding Tank
Hello Scubado. You appear to have got some confusing answers. On the lake, with no overboard discharge, you do not need an anti-syphon vent. The toilet outlet can be below the tank inlet, mine is 18 inches below, and has been for the past 28 years with no trouble at all. The toilet hand pump can push the effluent upwards of three feet above the toilet outlet, provided the piston seal does not leak.
Good luck
Holding Tank
On system you describe you are correct that only vented loop you should have (many boats dont) is on inlet for toilet (to flush head) I think. If I understand correctly your system will have 4 lines or hoses:
¾ inlet from thru hull to head (flushing water)
1.5 From head to Top of holding tank (toilet discharge)
1.5 From Bottom of tank to deck fitting (pump out)
¾ From top of tank to vent
But Im back to thinking tank (& thus inlet) must be lower (or level) then head in this system again.
Holding Tank
OH Man,
Here I thought this would be a simple matter. The toilet I''m planning to use is a manual head. There will be NO overboard discharge of waste due to Lake restrictions. I''m told this head pumps the waste manually, that is a pump handle, to the holding tank. My impression of the vented loop theory is primarly for systems that have a through-Hull overboard discharge for waste when in outside the 3 mile limit.
If I''m reading all this great info right, It would be a preferred situation if the tank inlet from toilet is lower than toilet discharge. RIGHT !! Ok Guys, thanks,
Holding Tank
Just one addition to William''s thorough reply: the intake line''s antisiphon vent needs to be between the head (toilet) pump and the bowl connection point. If you hook it up where you may think it goes - somewhere between the intake thru-hull and the head (toilet) pump, it won''t work.
The Forespar a-s vents seem to last indefinitely and I like the fact you can ask them for a replacement duck-bill or two (the little one-way rubber valve that gives the fitting its anti-siphon capability) which they usually will provide you for free.
Holding Tank
Lots of different ways you can plumb this. Assuming you flush with sea water and your head is below the waterline (almost inevitable), you need a vented loop in the water supply line to keep siphoning from sinking the boat. The (normally 1 1/2 inch) discharge line may or may not need a vented loop. If you are just going into the holding tank - no. If you have a Y-Valve or similar arrangement that allows you to pump overboard to a thru-hull - you''ll want a vented loop in that line as well. Some vented loops can be fitted with a small tube that attaches to the vent and, from there to thruhull (above waterline) vent (similar to a gas tank vent). Others do not. The holding tank, however, needs to be vented, preferably w/ 3/4 inch tubing. Get good quality odorproof hoses. Look at Casey''s book. Also, I believe the West Marine catalog has a couple of simple diagrams that may be helpful.
Holding Tank
I''m not familiar with that particular head (must have some kind of ''trash pump''?) but most are gravity feed. According to CG & Yachts standards, all below waterline thru hulls ending below WL (at tank) should have vented loop which is above WL at all angles of heel. This is to prevent flooding the boat and/or filling the tank should seacock fail or be left open. Manual for Jabsco Macerator pump states vented loop required for below waterline thru hulls also. Mostly affects line from macerator pump & water intake line for head. I know Catalina didn''t put loops in either place in my boat and it may be physically impossible to retrofit without extensive mods. They did put labels all over advising to only open thru hulls when in use which is what I do.
Just looked at that page posted above & looks good but a little confusing, maybe I''m just being dense today but the tanks higher than head is throwing me, flushing uphill?

NC's Civitas Institute Obscures GOP Position To Attack Obamacare
Research ››› ››› SALVATORE COLLELUORI & DANIEL ANGSTER
The North Carolina-based Civitas Institute published a piece on its blog attacking the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by criticizing the number of people who will remain uninsured after the law goes into full effect and urging Congress to cut off funding for the law. However, Civitas, which belongs to a right-wing network with ties to the Koch brothers, ignored necessary context in order to further its misleading narrative.
Civitas Criticizes Post-Affordable Care Act Uninsured Numbers
Civitas Institute: 30 Million People Will Remain Uninsured Under Obamacare. According to Civitas Review Online's September 11 post, 30 million people will be left without insurance after the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is fully implemented:
Meanwhile, the bad news keeps coming. Advocates of the health-care law say it was needed because millions of people couldn't get health insurance. Well, when ObamaCare goes fully into effect ... 30 million people will still lack health insurance. [Civitas Review Online, 9/11/13]
The Week: The Uninsured Will Include Many Undocumented Workers Who Are Ineligible To Seek Benefits. A full reading of The Week's article linked to in Civitas's post reveals that a large number of the post-ACA uninsured will be undocumented workers who are barred from using the exchanges to buy insurance:
President Obama's signature health-care law is expected to extend coverage to 25 million uninsured people in the U.S. as all of its provisions are implemented over the next decade. But ObamaCare is far from universal -- the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 31 million people will still lack insurance by 2023.
Undocumented workers will make up a growing share of the uninsured, say Sarah Kliff and Lena H. Sun in a Monday article in The Washington Post, because they will be ineligible to buy insurance on new exchanges that are scheduled to go online next month and will extend coverage to 24 million people over the next decade, according to CBO estimates. [The Week, 9/9/13]
Washington Post: The Post-ACA Uninsured Will Be Undocumented Workers And Low-Income Individuals In States That Refuse To Expand Medicaid. The Washington Post explained the post-ACA uninsured will consist of undocumented workers or low-income citizens who live in states where Republican-led legislatures opted out of Medicaid expansion offered under the ACA:
The Affordable Care Act, the most sweeping health care program created in a half century, is expected to extend coverage to 25 million Americans over the next decade, according to the most recent government estimates. But that will still leave a projected 31 million people without insurance by 2023. Those left out include undocumented workers and poor people living in the 21 states, such as Virginia, that have so far declined to expand Medicaid under the statute, commonly called Obamacare. [The Washington Post, 9/8/13]
The Week: 11 Of 15 States With Highest Uninsured Populations Are Planning To Opt Out Of Medicaid Expansion. The Week article cited by Civitas went on to explain that GOP obstruction of Medicaid expansion would leave 11 of 15 states with the highest uninsured populations out of the Medicaid expansion:
Republicans in red states, many of whom have bashed ObamaCare as a federal takeover of the health care system, have chipped away at the law by refusing to launch their own exchanges (in those cases, the federal government will simply do it for them). GOP-led state legislatures in 21 states have also declined to expand Medicaid under the law, potentially leaving out millions who were supposed to be brought under the ObamaCare umbrella. Those states include 11 of the 15 states with the highest uninsured populations (in order, starting at the top: Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Arizona, Virginia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and Indiana). [The Week, 9/9/13]
The Washington Post: Republicans Have Fought Extending Benefits To Undocumented Workers And Legalized Immigrants. According to a Washington Post June 17 article, GOP members pushed to obstruct legalized residents from accessing health care, and supported plans that would require undocumented workers to purchase expensive private insurance:
So amidst an effort to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill meant to help the Republican Party appeal to Hispanic voters, Republicans are making a point of demanding that legalized immigrants can't get Obamacare, and in some cases can't even get emergency care. They're also considering a crushingly punitive version of the individual mandate, in which undocumented immigrants need to purchase private health care on their own, without subsidies, or they can't even become legal residents. And they're refusing to agree to Obamacare's Medicaid expansion in some of the states where it would do Hispanics the most good. [The Washington Post, 6/17/13]
Civitas Institute Wrongly Insists That Congress Can Easily Defund The ACA
Civitas Institute: "It's Very Simple: Our Elected Representatives Just Have To Slice Spending For Obamacare Out Of The Budget." A September 11 blog post by the Civitas Institute blog explained that it would be "simple" for members of Congress to cut the funding for the Affordable Care Act:
It's very simple: Our elected representatives just have to slice spending for Obamacare out of the budget. Under the Constitution, they have authority to cut off spending for the program. If they have the guts to do so. [Civitas Institute, 9/11/13]
President Obama Unlikely To Sign Bill Defunding The Affordable Care Act. According to a July 30 Washington Post article, even if Congress passed a bill cutting funding for the Affordable Care Act, President Obama is unlikely to sign it. [The Washington Post, 7/30/13]
Even If Congressional Republicans Cause Government Shutdown Over Obamacare, Funding Will Still Continue. Citing a report from the Congressional Research Service, The Washington Post explained that even if Congressional Republicans passed budget legislation to defund the Affordable Care Act and shut down the government, the ACA will remain funded:
So, let's make the relatively bulletproof assumption that the White House isn't on board with defunding Obamacare. The shutdown happens. And Obamacare implementation ... well, it continues.
That's according to a new Congressional Research Service report, requested by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and flagged by Post Politics' Rachel Weiner.
The CRS report is another way to attack defunding: by pointing out that, even if the federal government shuts down, Obamacare can still continue pretty much apace.
"It appears that substantial ACA implementation might continue during a lapse in annual appropriations that resulted in a temporary government shutdown," CRS analysts concluded. [The Washington Post, 7/30/13]
Poll: Majority Of Americans Disapprove Of Defunding The Affordable Care Act. According to a poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 57 percent of Americans "disapprove of the idea of cutting off funding as a way to stop the law from being implemented" with 69 percent of respondents saying, "using the budget process to stop a law is not the way our government should work." [Kaiser Family Foundation, 8/28/13]
Civitas Institute Is Part Of The Conservative Koch-Funded Franklin Center
The Civitas Institute Is Part Of The "Dark Money" Funded Franklin Center. According to the Center for Media and Democracy's Source Watch, the Civitas Institute is listed as a Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity "Watchdog Bureau." As Media Matters has noted 95 percent of the Franklin Center's funding came from Donors Trust -- once dubbed the "dark money ATM" of the conservative movement -- which counts the Koch brothers and other major conservative donors as its benefactors. The Franklin Center pushes conservative stories to state news outlets to "fill the void created by state newsroom layoffs," and promote right-wing ideology, but their affiliates have published inaccurate information while "fail[ing] to set the record straight." [Center for Media and Democracy, accessed 9/12/13; Center for Media and Democracy, accessed 9/12/13; Media Matters for America, 7/11/12; Media Matters for America, 2/22/13]
The Civitas Institute Drew Harsh Criticism For Creating An Online Database To Track The Demonstrators Involved In Moral Monday Protests. According to North Carolina Public Radio, the Civitas Institute was heavily criticized for creating a database of protestors who participated in the Moral Monday protests:
The Civitas Institute posted an online database of Moral Monday/Witness Wednesday arrestees yesterday on its website, prompting a flood of responses and online commentary. The database includes demographic breakdowns of 382 people by political affiliation, age, race, and employment, and even includes a "Pick The Protester Game" in which the user must match a piece of demographic information with one of three mugshots.
Immediately after it was posted, the Institute for Southern Studies issued a critical statement on their website, in which they compared the database to the actions of White Citizens' Councils, which published the names of NAACP supporters in local newspapers in the mid twentieth century in order to encourage retaliation against them.
There have been a slew of other responses, some in the form of open letters: Jedediah Purdy, a Duke Law School professor who was arrested at a Moral Monday protest, wrote a letter to the Civitas Institute on the Huffington Post; another Moral Mondays arrestee whose name was included in the database--Ann Humphreys--wrote an open letter on Facebook explaining why she is proud to be a protester and condemned the Civitas database as an effort to target individuals like her; and a lively discussion on the Raleigh reddit page about the Civitas database drew over 75 responses within hours.

Ok, sometime when I get my orders all caught up, I've been thinking of giving my Mystery helmet kit a thorough overhaul, and I want to know what you guys think I should address.
Here's what I've got so far-
Cheek corners- Not sure when these got rounded off between the PP2 helmet and the lava helmet, but all the real helmet pics I'm seeing have the squared off cheeks so I want to fix that...
The raised "stripes" behind the ears- These were really rough on the original so I rebuilt the ends of them for the MH, but got them too angled. They need to be more squared off.
Dent- All I'm going to do here is clean out the layers and layers of primer that have built up with every new mold. There's so much in there, I've noticed the lines inside are getting a little soft.
Borden Connector- I scratch built a new 3 hole one when I cleaned up the lava helmet, but now that I've got the ref disk, I noticed it's the two hole version on the ESB helmet. If it's the 3 hole version on the PP2, I'll leave the connector off the main pattern and include both types as seperate pieces.
Can anyone think of anything else?

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal took on Udinese in the Champions League on August 24 and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Adrian Clarke and YW from A Cultured Left Foot.
Read on for their post-match thoughts and recap what they said before the game.
The world seems a brighter place now doesn't it?! It seemed like Arsenal were staring into the abyss at half time but the introduction of Rosicky gave them more control and creativity in midfield and Udinese could not live with them after the break. Szczesny's penalty save was a key moment while Walcott looks more and more like he can do a job through the centre - he timed his runs well and finished superbly to put the tie to bed.
I was really impressed by Udinese in the first leg. Di Natale is 32 but showed he is still a class act with his clever movement and eye for goal. The wide players gave Arsenal problems too but it was noticeable that they had less impact when Wenger's side defended slightly deeper in the final 20 minutes. Frimpong helped shore up the Gunners' midfield at the Emirates and I wouldn't mind seeing him selected alongside Song, especially if Wilshere is not passed fit. An away goal will leave Udinese needing three and I fancy Arsenal to score and go through.
There were plenty of nervy moments along the way but in the end thanks to a mature second-half performance Arsenal deserved to go through. In the first half Arsenal were far too easy to play against - it was like an attack versus defence training game – but they regrouped at half-time, showing their greater experience as the match wore on. It was exciting to see the front three show more penetration, especially Gervinho who was excellent. I was also very impressed by Carl Jenkinson for the way he kept danger man Pablo Armero under control, and Wojciech Szczesny deserves the plaudits too for what was a sensational, match-turning penalty save from Di Natale.
Udinese caused Arsenal more problems than expected at the Emirates and will no doubt feel quietly confident of causing an upset in front of their own fans. The Italians have a powerful midfield and a world class striker in the shape of Di Natale but I don't think the Italians can afford to be too gung-ho tactically because an away goal for the Gunners would swing the balance of the tie hugely in their favour. Despite injury problems and a lack of form, the return of Wilshere and Van Persie would give Arsène Wenger's men a boost and although I sense that this will be a nervy evening for both sides, based on their greater experience and quality I am backing Arsenal to progress.
It was hard to believe that going into the second leg our whole season was being written off on the basis of one game – a match that Arsenal held a one-goal lead going into. It was a great win and a good performance especially from Szczesny, Jenkinson and Frimpong. Tomas Rosicky rolled back the years as well in the second half which was good to see. The turning point was the penalty save which was just outstanding. A real boost and a win that everyone should be proud of.
Qualifying for the Champions League is crucial for confidence. A good performance would be nice but the result is all that matters. The fans need a boost and this is the perfect time for that to happen. The team was unlucky on Saturday and has worked hard to overcome the injuries, suspensions and players who have left. Arsène should ignore the threats of Mancini and select Samir Nasri. Leaving him out and failing to progress would cost the club as much money as playing Nasri and the transfer to City falling through.

Right-wing media analysts vs. real media analysts on Newsweek's woes
Right-wingers love to haul out the tired liberal-bias mantra anytime some significant media event happens. So when it was announced that the Washington Post Co. was planning to sell [1] Newsweek, guess how right-wingers reacted?
At NewsBusters, the Media Research Center's Brent Baker claimed [2] that Newsweek "repeatedly showcased their favorite candidate, Barack Obama, on the cover" and asked, "Might such obvious blatant liberal advocacy, which anyone could see in the grocery store checkout line, help explain its decline in fortunes -- in credibility followed by finances?"
He was joined by fellow MRC employee Clay Waters, who complained [3] that a New York Times article on the sale failed to mention "Newsweek's purposeful shift toward liberal opinion over news-gathering."
At Fox News on May 8, contributor Liz Trotta highlighted John Podhoretz's claim [4] that Newsweek is "a liberal journal of opinion masquerading as a news publication," added that "even The Washington Post" called it left-leaning, and posited that Newsweek's strategy of "shoving liberal opinion down [people's] throats" failed because it "colossally ... misjudged what the American public and the American readership is. It's not a bunch of lefties from New York."
Then again, Trotta also thinks that The New York Times has "an evil ... hate-whitey agenda [5]," so her idea of media criticism is a tad skewed.
Which is exactly the problem with such right-wing "analysis." It's a classic embodiment of the aphorism that if the only tool you have is a hammer, you treat every problem as a nail. Of course Trotta and the MRC would blame Newsweek's woes on its supposedly liberal content -- they are political activists whose very existence heavily depends on portraying media outlets like Newsweek as liberal.
Meanwhile, actual media analysts offered actual, insightful analysis of Newsweek. For instance:
- Slate's Jack Shafer [6] blames the recession-caused drops in ad revenue and generational changes in reading patterns (i.e. people prefer the Internet over newsmagazines).
- Reuters' Felix Salmon [7] cites the slow demise of print (again, due to the Internet) and content that doesn't stand out from the competition.
- New York magazine's Chris Rovzar [8] points out that "the entire industry" has been "struggling," also noting that the magazine recently moved into new offices created from "a costly long-term deal struck at the height of the real-estate market."
- The Big Money's Marion Maneker [9] blamed it on a "fatal misreading" of the Economist magazine model Newsweek's recent redesign was based on.
Notice the difference? The real analysts examined all aspects of the magazine; Trotta and the MRC could see only content that ran afoul of their political agenda.
That blinders-on philosophy does not work in reverse, however. When The Washington Times up for sale [10] last week by its Unification Church-controlled owners, we should have been treated to the MRC and Trotta telling us that its unfortunate situation is due to its right-wing leanings. But we weren't.

Manuel Castillo was driving through the wonderful state of Alabama headed home to California after picking up a load of onions when he halted for a state inspection. An Alabama state trooper did not think Mr. Castillo could speak English in the same proper manner as do those inhabiting the fair state of Alabama so he handed the Californian a $500 ticket for misuse of the English language. Mr. Castillo said he understood the state trooper's questions about where he was heading and he knew enough to produce his commercial driver license and registration. He responded to all questions in English although he does speak with an accent.
Mr.Castillo was not speeding and the computer check of his vehicle did not reveal any violations of law. Federal law requires anyone with a commercial license to speak English well enough to talk with police and last year about 25,000 tickets were issued for those without proper English language skills.
As one who has lived and taught in Missouri for thirty five years I think they would issue me tickets for improper English language skills because of my New York City accent. Of course, my response to my students invariably is, "You Missourians just don't know how to speak proper English.!" I believe the same holds true of anyone from Alabama.

I know what you are all thinking; you are thinking, "I would never get sucked into one of those silly scam calls that offer to fix my computer". But you are not normal. You are one of those few special people who know that a "CPU" is not the big box sitting under your desk, but is actually inside that box. Not everyone is like you, so I wanted to conduct a quick sanity check. I called my sister and asked her to press the Windows Key and R, and type "eventvwr" into the window that came up. Following that I asked what she saw. She said, "I see a lot of yellow warnings and red errors... Richard what have you done to me computer? FIX IT!".
After an hour or so of reassuring her (and using this as another excuse to remind her to backup her data) I was about to get back to work knowing that shedding more light onto this problem would not be a bad idea.
There are quite a large number of articles about these sort of scams. The one published today by Troy Hunt was probably my favourite for two reasons. Firstly it has a full video (1hr 22min) of the encounter allowing people to see what actually happens so they know what to look out for (jump to around 1:05 for the "coming clean"). Secondly, it has a good "debrief" section that highlights the main points and/or lessons to take away. For example:
Remember to stay safe, don't trust cold calls, and if they are a company you do know, call them back on a number you already know (or from their website).

In this podcast I talk to Curtis Suttle, a professor and associate dean at the University of British Columbia.Suttle studies the diversity and population of viruses across the entire planet. He has helped show that viruses are by far the most common life forms on the planet. They also contain most of the genetic diversity of life, and they even control how much oxygen we have to breathe. I talked to Suttle about coming to terms with the fact that we live on a virus planet, and how hard it is to find a place on Earth that's virus-free--even two miles underground.

Discussion in 'December 2009' started by roscoe36, Nov 3, 2009.
Ok, if you could explain why you believe the direction is heading for a ship.
The other side of the coin is that if the cap falls, the top-talent laden teams may end up doing some cutting too. If so, then the MLE could land a much better than expected player. There could be some trades even this year that would have been unthinkable in the past. I don't necessarily disagree with what you say - that next step is hard. But, I still have to wonder if we might have another championship winning / superstar lacking team in the making here?
Right now, Bynum shouldn't be playing. Maybe it is his bad wheel. His body language sucks, and his play is atrocious. Chucky is not a solution, but he's the best of our reserves at this time. You left me hanging. Couldn't sleep. I agree completely with your assessment which is why I said, one of our guards has to go, and I think everyone know which one I am talking about. Didn't Boston blow a whole season playing their youth, and Paul Pierce nursed some elbow injury, then they won a title one or two year's later? I said it in chat. I don't want to lose in the first round, and miss out on a lottery pick. The difference between drafting 13/14 and 18~22 is big. It's drafting after 20 for so many years that has left the cupboard relatively bare of home grown talent. Mercury is talking specifically about the cap/talent situation. We have a fiscally conservative GM, with a team just barely good enough to challenge for the 8th spot, and we're capped out. There may not be a lot of change in our circumstance unless we get some talent in the draft, or make a big trade, and right now the economics of the league do not favour us making a big trade with Tay or Rip.
I thought Knicks proved the theory that sucking intentionally to get lottery picks won't help a wee bit. I think we will be fine, if we trade one of our SGs for a PG, and hope Ben is aging younger ala Benjamin Button
So we should tank? I don't see how anyone could want to tank when we are easily a playoff team. We are 8th right now when arguably our 3 best players have been injured for long stints of time. We could easily get the fifth or so seed in the East when our other players return. I just don't think you tank when you are a playoff team. If you just start losing games to get a better draft pick you can end up dwelling at the bottom of the league for a long time. Not to mention i'm not as high on some of our young talent as others. We have Taye, Rip, and Be right now who are all past their prime. I'm probably just holding on to false hope, but no one expected us to do anything in 2004 either.
You keep saying this, and no one has proposed it. Mercury merely made an analysis of where we are. We're a first round out. If you want to get 2 or 3 playoff wins, and draft 8 spots later, that's fine. Just be aware, that for the limited playoff success, the team will lose opportunities to get better for next year. Well, that is not exactly true. The Pistons were coming off back to back 50 win seasons, and Joe changed coaches specifically because he expected more from the squad in 2004 than he got in 2003 (ECF loss). That 2004 Championship didn't come from nowhere. The Pistons had to spend a couple seasons rebuilding before they could do any damage in the playoffs. This is only our first rebuilding season and we're only a quarter of the way through it.
I'm tring to draw a comparison in talent from this current squad and 2004... drawing a blank so far. Not just the talent but the defensive excellence...disciplined mindset and unselfish qualities. To tank or not to tank... that is the question... I don't like the idea of throwing games to gain a pick... it feels dirty.... but in the long run more losses improves the chances of a quicker recovery... not just for gaining a high pick, no guarantees (re Darko) but for the trade leverage it provides. If Joe were to move a couple pieces that may not play into our long term future plans (Rip, Tay, Ben W) things could naturally fall in place ... Ben is keeping us from failing... good thing at his age? As Roscoe says throw the youth into the pit and expidite the learning process... let's play these kids where they are projected to be in the future... Daye=SF.... JJ= ??.... Stuckey= Combo... Summers= SF/PF etc. The worse thing that can happen is to redo past mistakes and not get a full evale of our young players... is Summers in or out?... Daye?... what's up with his scrub minutes when we have all of these injuries? In the past Joe could rely on his security blanket of proven vets... today he needs to think more like the teal era and get agressive.
If you are not suggesting we tank, then what are you saying. That is the only thing you could be indicating. If we're not tanking, then we are trying our hardest which would mean that we are going to get the best record we can, which in turn would be the worst draft pick. Not to mention how can you know how we are going to do in the playoffs. We are not going to be expected to play well, but that doesn't mean we couldn't win a playoff series. I honestly don't get what you guys are proposing to do if you don't mean tanking. You just stated that there isn't much we can get in return for our older players like Taye and Rip, so what other way are we going to intentionally get a lottery pick.
That we're in a situation where gains can only come via tradeoffs. Depending on what you want to gain, you will have to tradeoff something else. We can't get better, until we get worse. Joe has really hamstrung us by paying too much for Maxiell, Hamilton and Prince. He didn't see the declining economy, like most people didn't, but the facts are the facts. The cap is shrinking, and what once looked like fair deals, now look like anchors. No one has proposed anything. We're simply sizing up Joe's choices, shaking our heads sideways and sucking our teeth. He's got tough decisions to make, unless he wants to stay mediocre for an extended period of time.
i am ok with not making the playoffs... however i am against ripping to the core and throwing just the kids into the fire.... sorry but there is alot more to winning then playing, and we need some of our vets (if there willing) to teach the kids more then just to run play x, y, and z. The value to these young kids watching Ben's motor? unmeasurable in the boxscore if you ask me. unless you get incredibly lucky and have a duncan type draft pick... teams don't go from good to lottory back to good anytime fast. I am happy with everthing that has taken place since the buzzer went off to end last years playoffs.... while the injuries have helped speed up the process of learning they injured vets are still in and around to some extent... The value of chuckie (i know don't moan) is helping us.... the value of ben..... I see nothing good for a team when they see there owner/GM/Management say that we have written off this year.
While what you say is correct, we are way ahead of most teams going into next summer. Next summer is going to be very interesting and telling times for the league as a whole.
Do we need a tank or not tank thread that can be revisited every 2 to 3 weeks so that when late March arrives we will know for certain what the best option should be?? Right now I don't know if this team can get out of the first round or not and we cannot even think about it until two weeks after everyone returns and we see how the chemistry works......but normally depending on whom is doing the picking, the difference between a 9 or 10 pick and 14-16 pick is substantial.. If Joe hadn't been so in love with Stucky playing the one, he could have chosen Ty Lawson who was picked 4 picks later or even at a later pick or even thought about Brandon Jennings if we had had the 9th or 10th pick.
I'm all about the tank.
Agree with Dre...There are some posts in this thread that belong in a long term thread... any chance of moving the tank discussion to the proper place? thanks
Tell me where the discussion starts, and then I will move the related ones that follow.
4 in a row. five of six. Quality opponent beaten. Bynum joined the list of the wounded. And no Gordon, Tay, nor Rip. Atkins missed a few minutes with a sprained ankle himself but came back in the game and ended up playing starters minutes. In all, we were never short of guards. We still played Atkins and Stuckey together a lot in this one. Can't pretend to have a shortage of guards and play your two point guards together too. One of the recently injured, CV, totally came back to life in this one, his 3rd game back. CV was scoring toward the basket to the tune of 26 points. I believe he did hit 2 three's, maybe a couple of shorter jumpers. But a whole lot of it was him going toward the basket - or actually posting up. Stuckey continued his hot scoring streak with about 24 I think, including a clutch basket late in this very tight finish. And most of that was to the hoop. Bench scored 40, most of that CV of course. But Summers and Daye each nailed a triple and while they did not play major minutes, they sure made a difference. Summers looked pretty darn good in his short minutes, making you wonder why Kuester is so bent on going small so much. Not in this game though. A three guard rotation was not even possible since we only had two healthy to play. Again, we see JMAX at small forward, and looking just fine there. (You could consider CV the small forward too, or just think of CV and JMAX as a pair of forwards.) How did Atkins do? Missed a bunch of shots, but played decent enough defense a decent amount of the time on Billups. He ain't got much to work with, but he did give effort. (yes, I know, he did get lost on defense on picks and such as usual, but he played aggressively up on Billups a lot.)(and I was going to use a more positive tone about his game, until he shot 3 or 4 seconds too early there, leaving Denver way too much time. We should have at worst missed the shot and left Denver with just 3 seconds or less to play. 6 seconds is an eternity. Good thing we made Billups miss on that last play or man I bet this good would be getting discussed for quite a spell.) Another fine defensive effort, triggered by JMAX and Big Ben Wallace starting together. That is a lot of serious D being played between those two. Big Ben was a monster on the boards, getting what, 17 or so. JJ did not play great, but neared another double double at least. He hit a three himself. Which means we had 3 rooks each hit a three in this game, a tight one vs. one of the best teams in the league. Hard to believe, hey? Kwame was not completely atrocious in this one. He moved well to the basket, and finished strongly without hesitation when easy to handle passes got to him. Anything beyound kids speed of course was dropped. He did hit a free throw. No Wilcox. I will be out of town for a spell, writing what I see about Saturday's game late Sunday night. Til then, GO PISTONS!!!!!
I believe Lee post in the wrong game topic lol
try to tell to Ben Wallace "tanking". hah. These kids play with fire and that's exciting to watch. Also, owner wants to sell tickets too. IMO now tanking is not worth of it.
Great game I thought with contributions from all over. JJ with another double double and Stuckey's play were the standouts for me. Good to see Maxiell shooting well too - hope it can continue and he can play a role similar to McDyess. That crossover by the Stuck that left AI flat on his back was awesome! And I can't believe anybody would even suggest tanking! In sport you play to win everytime you're on the court/pitch/field and any other actions should be condemned. I for one will never support a team that chose to do so. In Australian Rules Football (AFL), I follow the Adelaide Crows and they are in somewhat of a rebuilding phase too, although the coach continually states that he will not use that word or look at his team that way - he considers it a cop out. With a lot of youth last season and a determination to win, they made it to the second week of the finals when no one expected them to even make the finals. The same expectation was placed on the Pistons too, and without a recognised superstar and good team play they won a title in 2004 and maybe should have got closer to winning a couple more. If the Pistons ever starting tanking, I would be close to heartbroken.
Hindsight is...

From cigarette taxes to changing the way we select our judges. From health insurance exchanges in Missouri to the taxing of boats in Kansas. These are those "other" decisions you'll be asked to make when you head to the ballot box on Tuesday. We sort through these pesky, wordy ballot questions on this pre-election edition of the program.
TOBACCO TAX: Currently Missouri has the lowest tobacco tax in the nation. Proposition B would raise the state tax on a pack of cigarettes from 17 cents to 90 cents. The proposal is projected to generate between $283 million and $423 million annually. But where would the money go?
POLICE: Some of our viewers may be confused as to why we started with Proposition B. Is there a "Proposition A?" Well there is…and the reason we're not starting our program discussing it, is because its sure to be confusing to many Kansas City area voters. Prop A asks whether the city of St. Louis should have local control over its police force? Currently, it is one of just two cities in the country along with Kansas City to be overseen by a state appointed panel. Why should people in metro KC care about this issue and how could their vote on this question affect them in the future?
KANSAS BALLOT: While Kansans won't be voting for any U-S Senators, a Governor or any big state officeholders, did you know you do have a statewide ballot issue to decide involving the taxing of boats? OK, it's not the biggest issue in the world, but you may be left scratching your head when you walk into your local polling station Tuesday and see this massive one page ballot question on the taxation of watercraft in the Sunflower state. Should your neighbor with the speedboat of fishing boat get a tax break? What's at stake?
HEALTHCARE DEBATE: As President Obama and Mitt Romney have battled over the Affordable Care Act, you may not be aware that if you live in Missouri, you will be deciding the issue of healthcare on the ballot Tuesday. If approved by you, Proposition E would block the governor or any Missouri agency from creating a state health exchange without approval from voters or the legislature. What are the pros and cons of Prop E?
JUDGES: If you live in Missouri, you'll also be asked to decide at the ballot box on Tuesday whether or not to change the system of picking higher court judges in Missouri. Missouri Constitutional Amendment 3 would give the governor more authority over the nomination process for Court of Appeals and Supreme Court judges in the state.
MISSOURI STATEWIDE OFFICES: The race for the U-S Senate seat in Missouri has robbed attention from most of the other statewide campaigns in Missouri. We don't leave you in the lurch. We try to make sense of the candidates running for those other statewide offices, we're told are important, but have thus far been starved of media time. State Treasurer, anyone? What about Secretary of State?

text: It has been discussed in the Worlds forum that the RSF has stipulated that Russian coaches who live in Russia cannot coach non-Russian students in the run-up to Sochi. Assuming this is true, who does it affect? The only people I can think of are Pechalat/Bourzat and Morozov's students. Any idea where these people would go? I really do not see Amodio or Ando leaving Morozov, and I'm surprised that Morozov actually agreed to this condition. The RSF must have paid him a buttload of money. Are any other skaters/coaches affected by this rule?

Novak falsely claimed "no evidence" that Concerned Alumni of Princeton was "against women"
Research ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
Robert D. Novak falsely stated that there was "no evidence" the group Concerned Alumni of Princeton, of which Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. was a member, was against women.
While discussing the Senate confirmation hearing of Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr., syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Robert D. Novak falsely claimed that there was "no evidence" that members of the now-defunct group Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP) "were against women." As Novak explained it, the group, whose members issued statements decrying the admission of women to Princeton University, was "just trying to get Princeton off the left-wing bias." But CAP publications and statements by prominent members strongly suggest the group had a history of opposing the recruitment and admission of women to Princeton.
Alito's membership in CAP -- which he noted on his 1985 job application for the position of deputy assistant attorney general in the Reagan administration -- has been raised at the hearing, where several senators have questioned Alito on his affiliation with the organization. Alito earned a bachelor's degree from Princeton in 1972, graduating with the university's last all-male class. Novak's comments came during the January 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes.
Founded in the same year that Alito graduated -- three years after Princeton began admitting women to the university -- CAP was criticized in its early years by current Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) who, according to a November 27, 2005, New York Times article, sat on a Princeton alumni panel in 1975 that condemned "the distorted, narrow and hostile view of the university" advanced by the members of CAP.
Marsha Levy-Warren, graduate of the first coeducational class (1973) and former vice president of the student government, told The Daily Princetonian that CAP was "a far-right organization funded by conservative alumni committed to turning back the clock on coeducation at the University," according to a November 18, 2005, article in the campus newspaper. The Princetonian reported that CAP, during its formation, was co-chaired by Asa Bushnell and Shelby Cullom Davis, both outspoken opponents of coeducation at the university. The campus newspaper described Davis as "a strong traditionalist, firmly opposed to the many of the new directions Princeton was taking, including coeducation."
CAP published a magazine, Prospect, edited by Alito classmate T. Harding Jones, who, according to the Princetonian, wrote in the February 1973 issue that the increasing number of women in the Princeton student body showed that "[t]he makeup of the Princeton student body has changed drastically for the worse." On March 3, 1974, according to People for the American Way, Jones told The New York Times that "[c]o-education has ruined the mystique and the camaraderies that used to exist. Princeton has now given into the fad of the moment, and I think it's going to prove to be a very unfortunate thing."
According to the Princetonian, Davis wrote in Prospect:
"May I recall, and with some nostalgia, my father's 50th reunion, a body of men, relatively homogenous in interests and backgrounds, who had known and liked each other over the years during which they had contributed much in spirit and substance to the greatness of Princeton ... I cannot envisage a similar happening in the future," Davis added, "with an undergraduate student population of approximately 40% women and minorities, such as the Administration has proposed."
Additionally, according to The Nation, "[T]he executive committee of CAP published a statement in December 1973 that affirmed unequivocally, 'Concerned Alumni of Princeton opposes adoption of a sex-blind admission policy.' " And according to a November 26, 2005, New York Times article by staff writer David Kirkpatrick, in the 1980s CAP also opposed the integration of three all-male "eating clubs where many upper class Princeton students took their meals."
Also, according to People for the American Way, "A 1973 CAP fundraising letter claimed that 'a student population of approximately 40 percent women and minorities will largely vitiate the alumni body of the future.'"
As the November 26, 2005, New York Times article noted:
In 1975, an alumni panel that included Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the current Republican leader and a 1974 Princeton graduate, concluded that Concerned Alumni had "presented a distorted, narrow and hostile view of the university that cannot help but have misinformed and even alarmed many alumni" and "undoubtedly generated adverse national publicity."
The group disbanded in 1987. Alito listed his membership in the group on the "Personal Qualifications Statements" part of his 1985 application for the position of deputy assistant attorney general with the Reagan administration.
From the January 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
ALAN COLMES (co-host): But, do they have a point about civil rights? For example, it turns out he was once a member of the Concerned Alumni of Princeton. The story is that that group tried to challenge the admission of women and minorities. Not friendly to the disabled. Bill Bradley spoke out against this group, as did Bill Frist. Will issues like that cause him big trouble?
NOVAK: I think that could. They've done some statistical things on how many times he didn't vote for so-called black civil rights proposals in the court. The CAP, the Concerned -- the Princeton alumni group, they're just trying to get Princeton off the left-wing bias. And there's no signs at all, no evidence that they were against women. But that -- I think anything that they can find -- you see, the way it works is they try to find the things -- they decide in the first place that they're attacking him, they're against him, and then they try to find matters to try to substantiate that assault.

Dear Lucy
Would you please explain to me why the sentence below is considered incorrect according to http://www.TestMagic.com?
"He exercises every day so as to build his stamina."
The correction is as folllows:
"He exercises every day in an effort to build his stamina."
Doesn't "so as (not) to do sth" equal "in order (not) to do sth", i.e. "because"?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best wishes

The Irish Times reported that hundreds of thousands of land records are to be destroyed once they have been transferred to an electronic system. The majority of the records date from the 1970's, but some are more than 100 years old. How short sighted of the Irish authorities not to recognise the value to historians of this material. Let's hope there is an outcry in the Emerald Isle and that these documents are transferred to the National Archives in Dublin.
