Injury updates: Bowker, Clement, Hart
According to Rob Biertempfel of the Trib: Bowker, Clement and Hart should all be ready to compete in Spring Training.
John Bowker had knee pain towards the end of the season that sidelined him a few games. He did not require surgery and is healthy due to rehab and rest.
Jeff Clement –who ended his season early due to knee surgery– is "on schedule" with his recovery and will be ready to go come spring training.
Kevin Hart is also "on schedule" with his recovery. Hart missed the entire 2010 season due to a shoulder injury in Spring Training. He was thought to be the fifth starter for the Bucs.

He's playing behind a very powerful offense right now. Even a "game manager" QB could be successful behind this group. That's good news for the bears, and a GREAT situation for Cutler. He just needs to settle down and limit the early mistakes in games. And that's so do-able.
This is going to be a really great year. Solid defense, solid special teams - and for the first time in ages we have a solid offense.
Go Bears!
We're in good shape, and Cutler should improve with every game. You hit the nail on the head, in that this is a new offense with a lot of changes since last year.
I'm not worried at all about Cutler. I think this is normal to have some rough spots this early in the season, considering all of the changes.
If this is our worst problem this year (Cutler settling down with a new offense) then we're going to be a great team. Cutler will improve every week now, as he settles in with the new offense.
p.s. Kudo's to Mike Tice for making blocking adjustments. I really didn't think the blocking could be improved this much this year.

Go Bears!
Agree completely but this team is still one step below the "elite" of the NFL right now (Houston, Atlanta, San Fran) IMHO. That last step largely comes down to a bad habit of offensive miscues and general inability to score in the first quarter/half.
You can get away with that when your D is getting 3+ takeaways and 14 points per game. We all know that isn't going to happen every week and relying on it is dangerous.
You can get away with it when you're playing a marginal to terrible offense (St. Louis, Jacksonville) that can't take advantage of opportunities very well. A good team would have us down 14-3 at half yesterday. Changes a lot of things going into the 3rd, doesn't it?
I know that no unit and no QB can be "on" every game or every half of every game. I really would just like to see Jay raise his floor a bit when things aren't clicking well on all cylinders. Muddle through and limit mistakes. Don't press everything to Marshall. Use the run since you two great backs. Be accurate even when the "big play" isn't there.
As good as Cutler was in the 2nd half, he was pretty bad in the 1st. Had a terrible pick (could easily have had 1-2 more) and looked like he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. He threw passes that had ZERO chance of being catchable. And btw that was against a bad defense with minimal DL/blitz pressure on him. I understand it can't always be a thing of beauty but I'd like the "non-beautiful" times be a little less ugly.

I agree MP. In fact, Cutler doesn't have to win games on his own now. He just needs to settle down so he doesn't lose games for us.
I'm not saying he has to turn into Kyle Orton, a game manager, but just don't turn into "Bad Jay" the int machine.
Go Bears!
Yep, and I'm not just saying. "Don't turn into a pick machine" when things are tough out there. It's that and also more than that. It's spreading the ball around not just forcing it to BM. It's not getting too pass-happy when run opportunities are there (duh! Forte and Bush are pretty damn good too!). It's not throwing the ball 2 feet short when there's an open receiver in the flat or on a hitch. Stuff like that.

In the years 2014 there is expected to be an explosion in the field of nursing. The baby boomer generation will start to retire opening opportunities up as registered nurses but there are several other types of nursing jobs.The hospitals are fiercely trying to compete to get registered nurses.Over the next 10 to 20 years there is expected to be a growth.This article is going to tell you about just a few of them.
The largest percent of health care workers in the United States is made up by registered nurses. The registered nurse is typically the first contact that the patient and their families will have. They are also the primary contact between the patient and the health care world. That is both at the bedside and the settings that are outpatient. A registered nurse will perform evaluations of the patient and track their vitals. The registered nurse will also perform any medical procedures such as IVs and administering medicine to the patient. They are very important to a doctor because they know the status of a patient.
A nurse aide or assistant will perform their duties under the medical staff or nurses supervision. Their duties include answering patient requests, message delivery, and serving meals. They are also there to help the patients eat, shower, and dress themselves. They may also perform vitals, skin care, and assist in cleaning the patients room. A nursing aide can be important to the nursing staff in reporting any changes in a patients behavior indicating failing health.

Do you guys think this could work?
Gliscor @ toxic orb
Poison heal
252 HP, 252 atk, 4 spd
The idea is to taunt physical set-up sweepers, and use counter. If they are special, use earthquake. Roost heals you by alot, which is cool if you are really weakened. Protect lets you activate the orb, as well as stalling for poison heal healing.
The thread for this sort of thing is here http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthr...EAD-FIRST-POST but as a general overview this set has some merit but is probably inferior to the standard set for the following reasons.
If you taunt a physical sweeper, they are probably going to switch out rather than get walled by you, making counter a bit situational. Counter could be effective if you manage to catch somebody off guard but it is not something that can really be relied on. Earthquake is good for providing damage, but you will still struggle against many prominent special threats such as rotom-w. What I would recommend would be to take toxic over counter so that you can at least cripple these pokemon on the switch in. This would also let you stick those attack EVs in def to stop terrakion 2HKOing you (and similar). Just my two cents though so take it as you want.
Does Prankster give any move generated from Assist (Liepard FTW) +1 priority or does it only give status moves the priority granted by Prankster?
Prankster increases the priority of any status move allowing you to go first no matter what Pokemon your facing, no matter who's speed is better, and no matter what move you're using.
So in one shot: If Prankster is your ability, and you use any status move, it doesn't matter which, even from Assist. You will go first.

@TheAdmiral: Thanks! And sorry about posting in the wrong thread.
Out of curiosity, What exactly is Competitive Pokemon? What is it about?
In despite of being a Competitive Pokemon Battler for almost 4 years, I've always wondered this... =\
Competitive pokemon is just what the name implies; it's about competing. Each side does all they can to win.
Some people will call themselves "semi-competitive". Generally, these people don't take winning as seriously, usually by picking pokemon for design rather then viability, but they still try to use basic strategies, EVs, IVs, or moves.
Last edited by Zachmac; 10th February 2013 at 12:23 AM.
Competitive pokemon refers to Competitive pokemon battling (Example a tournament) or competitive play in which players attempt to build high quality teams via breeding, ev training, and or hacks/mods (pokegen or Action replays being good examples) and defeat their opponents with strategy and prediction.
I refer to myself as semi competitive since I do not go for perfect teams and do not use Pokemon online or other battle simulators(I generally don't participate in tournaments ether.)

off current topic, but what would you guys think of heal pulse on a doubles lucario?
Lucario is really fragile. It has 70/70/70 defenses which makes it really easy to defeat, even with neutral attacks. Even if it does survive, it's Heal Pulses won't heal by very much. I would suggest giving Heal Pulse to something that can actually take hits and has more HP, like the pink blobs (read: Chansey and Blissey) or Alomomola so that you heal your allies more.

alright, thanks for the advice guys i was just leveling mine up and it caught me off guard because it learned heal pulse so it just got the gears turning lol
Doubles Question:
If I have a Lightningrod Seaking and Luxray, and Luxray uses Discharge. Will it damage the foes Pokemon too?
Also, how useful is Intimidate in Doubles. Lastly,is a Liepard w/ Sunny Day + Cherrim viable?
Credits to Brutaka for siggy
I have a question; what's the best counter for Grass-types in OU? I was hoping to use Swampert as my bulky water but I need to find a suitable counter for Grass-type attacks
The darkened master of the skies...Rayquaza!
quick question, if i upload pokemon to pokecheck to clone them, since the clones automatically get the premier ribbon, would i still be able to use them in tournaments and such? i know the premier ribbon prevents trading them on the GTS

Union Seeks to Block Hawker Beechcraft Sale
Associtated Press - Sun 10:33 AM 07/29/2012
The machinists union for Hawker Beechcraft is trying to block the proposed sale of the struggling aircraft manufacturer to a Chinese company.
The machinists union for Hawker Beechcraft is trying to block the proposed sale of the struggling aircraft manufacturer to a Chinese company. But the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers hasn't had much success rallying support in Washington.
The union says allowing the sale of Wichita-based Hawker Beechcraft's business jet and general aviation operations to Superior Aviation Beijing Company Limited, would give China access to technology it doesn't yet have.
Kansas' Republican senators have ignored requests to comment about the issue and the GOP congressman who represents Wichita's district says the deal could save thousands of U.S. jobs.
Hawker Beechcraft announced this month it entered into a bankruptcy court-approved, 45-day "exclusivity

You union folks are so smart, buy it and call it employee owned. When you have a piece of the pie, you will start smacking that co-worker of yours that brags about taking an hour when he goes to the bathroom. Been there. done that.

Maybe if union worker's would have voted to keep their pay down instead of big pay raises not have to worry about company going bankrupt

I see it this way. 1: Union buys the facility and tries to turn it around (likely never to happen). 2: Succeed in blocking the sale and losing their jobs flat out. or 3: Shut the hell up and possibly save their jobs, at least for awhile.

The unions did such a good job at keeping Hawker here in Salina let them try. The unions need to realize that their system is antiquated and no longer works for the employees other than leading them to being unemployed.China could do no worse for the employees, at least with communism you expect to get shafted and you don't have to pay union dues.

Amazing, you would rather have communist China own american companies and crap all over americans that want to work. People's hate on the working class is incredible. I bet none of you work for a corporation and if you claim that you have probably kissed butt to high hell. Sell outs to China and yet you blame obama, that is the republican voting class.

The greed of the American worker is what is killing the working class. I know what benefits and pay the workers received at Hawker and I was baffled that they still demanded more, the workers and their union deserved to have the rug jerked out from underneath them and lose their jobs to Mexico. Union greed is what is killing the working class and giving job opportunities to foreign workers, just look at the steel industry and where it went-look for the union label!
Monday 30 July 2012 09:53 Report this comment
I don't see anyone hating any American's iamme... what most smart people and those with common sense realize is that unions are an outdated and mismanaged way of doing things. The unions care more about lining the union leaders pockets than about the common worker so don't think any of us are going to think otherwise. i was a union (basically forced to be) "member" for years. But when we had the chance and the numbers to get rid of them. WE DID. because it was more beneficial to us to NOT have a union stealing our wages from us and to use existing laws that protect employee's from any unscrupulous employers. I have worked for a corporation. The very one we kicked the union out of. And are better off for it today and have MORE money coming to US in our paycheck every week.

The debt was $10.626 trillion on the day Mr. Obama took office. The latest calculation from Treasury shows the debt has now hit $14.639 trillion.
It's the most rapid increase in the debt under any U.S. president.
The national debt increased $4.9 trillion during the eight-year presidency of George W. Bush. The debt now is rising at a pace to surpass that amount during Mr. Obama's four-year term.
Mr. Obama blames policies inherited from his predecessor's administration for the soaring debt. He singles out:
CBSNews.com special report: America's debt battle
He goes on to blame the recession, and its resulting decrease in tax revenue on businesses, for making fewer sales, and more employees being laid off. He says the recession also resulted in more government spending due to increased unemployment insurance payments, subsidies to farms and funding of infrastructure programs that were part of his stimulus program.
At the first town hall meeting of his Midwestern bus trip last week, Mr. Obama told an audience in Minnesota that "the debt problem is real and the deficit problem is real."
But he also called in "a manageable problem."
The Gross National Debt now stands at 97.6 percent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product - the total value of goods and services produced by labor and property in the U.S.

Edit review process |
Ballot measures attract controversy and debate. It is important, therefore, to write articles that focus on documented facts. Please include thorough references to documentation supporting the facts in your article, and avoid inflammatory language or a provocative tone.
New contributors are always welcome to Ballotpedia, and you are encouraged to be bold in editing pages. Don't fear making mistakes, since contributions are monitored by other contributors at the Recent changes page.
What is a "wiki"?
A wiki is a collection of interlinked web pages, with broad public editing and reading access. You can try editing a page right now at the Ballotpedia:Sandbox page.
How can I contribute?
By editing pages, creating new pages, publicizing Ballotpedia, etc. We've got some great ideas for your help!
- See also: Help:Tutorials/Register
In the body of the email, please indicate your preferred username. (Read more here)
Why register?
Visit the registering with Ballotpedia page to register your own user ID. Beyond being able to edit pages, you also get the following features:
- It allows you to set and save your Ballotpedia preferences.
- It credits you in the article history, as well as on the Recent Changes page, with changes you make.
- You get a personal Ballotpedia page as your user page. You can use this as a spot to tell people about yourself, list the articles you've worked on, or your personal sandbox for Ballotpedia work.
Do I have to use my real name?
Real names are not required.
Types of pages and articles
The term "page" encompasses all the material on Ballotpedia, including encyclopedia articles, talk pages, documentation, and special pages such as Recent Changes. "Article" is a narrower term refering to a page containing an encyclopedia entry. Thus, all articles are pages, but not all pages are articles.
Can I add Wikipedia articles to Ballotpedia?
Generally, no. Up until mid-June 2009, Ballotpedia and Wikipedia both used the GFDL license. In practice, this meant that an article from Wikipedia could be copied onto Ballotpedia, as long as the article obeyed reuser rights and obligations including appropriate attribution.
However, in June 2009, Wikipedia's copyright license changed to the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA). Ballotpedia does not use the CC-BY-SA license. Ballotpedia users are not allowed to copy text that is licensed by CC-BY-SA. Text on Wikipedia that is licensed only under CC-BY-SA cannot be copied onto Ballotpedia. Some text on Wikipedia is licensed both under CC-BY-SA and GFDL. This text can be copied onto Ballotpedia, if it is properly attributed. However, it is strongly preferred that you do your own writing and research, instead of copying text from elsewhere.
According to Wikipedia: Copyrights:
- "For compatibility reasons, any page which does not incorporate text that is exclusively available under CC-BY-SA or a CC-BY-SA-compatible license is also available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. In order to determine whether a page is available under the GFDL, review the page footer, page history, and discussion page for attribution of single-licensed content that is not GFDL-compatible. All text published before June 15th, 2009 on Wikipedia was released under the GFDL, and you may also use the page history to retrieve content published before that date to ensure GFDL compatibility."
Please read the entire text of Wikipedia's information on reuser rights and obligations. Among other things, it says:
- "To re-distribute text on Wikipedia in any form, provide credit to the authors either by including a) a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages you are re-using, b) a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy which is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on this website, or c) a list of all authors. (Any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions.) This applies to text developed by the Wikipedia community. Text from external sources may attach additional attribution requirements to the work, which should be indicated on an article's face or on its talk page. For example, a page may have a banner or other notation indicating that some or all of its content was originally published somewhere else. Where such notations are visible in the page itself, they should generally be preserved by re-users."
What is an orphan?
An orphan is an article that no other article links to. These can still be found by searching the Ballotpedia, but it is preferable to find another article where a link can be added. You can find a list of orphan articles here.
What is a stub?
A stub on Ballotpedia is a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less. Many excellent articles started out as short stubs. Existing stubs should be expanded into proper articles: there is a list at stub articles, and a automatically generated list of short Ballotpedia articles at Shortpages.
Editing features
What is a minor edit?
When you edit a page, you have the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit."When to use this is somewhat a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and simple rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit." A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth relooking at--either through substantial additions or reorganisation--or fixes a major error.
This feature is important, because users can choose to hide minor edits in their view of the Recent Changes page, to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level.
What is "Recent Changes"?
The notations on "Recent Changes" are "N" for new page (new pages often attract a bunch of copyedits); the "M" stands for "Minor edit" or "minor change", which you can set by checking the check box labeled "This is a minor edit" when you edit a page. If you check your "Preferences", you can suppress minor changes in the Recent Changes List. Checking this box is a courtesy to people who suppress seeing minor changes -- check the box if the change is a simple spelling or grammar change.
The Zen of editing
Can we debate here?
Absolutely! This is an encyclopedia that strives to present subjects fairly, accurately, comprehensively and from a neutral point of view. Discussion intended to improve articles is welcome. The best place to discuss controversial edits to an article is in the "talk" or "discussion" page attached to every article.
I've found vandalism, or I've damaged a page by mistake! How can I restore it?
- Click on the "Older versions" link. Find the last good version of the page (it helps to use a browser with multiple tabs). Edit this old version (you'll get a warning that you're editing an old version at the top of the edit box). Save this text -- it will become the new current version.
Why are some links red?
- Because an article or page with that name has not yet been started.
- You can click on that link and start a page with that name. But be careful -- there may already be articles on similar topics, or an article on the same topic under a different name. It's pretty important to hunt around for similar topics first. See Ballotpedia:Naming Conventions for information on naming pages.
What happens when two users edit a page at the same time?
- This is called an "edit conflict."You'll get a conflict screen that displays both versions in separate windows, along with a summary highlighting the differences, and instructions on how you should proceed. It's virtually impossible to lose any data.
How do I learn about changes to certain topics without having to go there from time to time?
- If you are a logged-in user, on every page you will see a link that says "Watch this article."If you click on it, the article will be added to your personal watchlist. Your watchlist will show you the latest changes on your watched articles.
External links and references
Is translating pages from other wikis that have more information than ours a good way to add to the project in general?
- It's a good idea to cross-pollinate but if you get ideas from elsewhere, you should always use your own words when writing about the content on Ballotpedia.
Is it OK to link to other sites, as long as the material is not copied onto Ballotpedia?
- External links are great. They increase the value and usability of Ballotpedia. However, external links should support the content of the article, not replace it. The current convention is to place external links in a separate section at the bottom of the article. However, sometimes they are placed within the article as a footnote.
I have, or can get, special permission to copy an image or article to Ballotpedia. Is it OK to do that?
- The text and images of Ballotpedia are covered by the GNU Free Documentation License. For the most part, unless an item is covered by the same or a similar license, or is in the public domain, it cannot be used on Ballotpedia. However, Ballotpedia can make an exception for non-free content under very limited circumstances.
I have an out-of-copyright image (or text) that is reproduced in an in-copyright book. Can I scan / type it into Ballotpedia?
- Providing they haven't altered the image then they can't claim a copyright on it. If it was in the public domain before they used it, it's still in the public domain afterward.
Using images and other media
Images, movies and sound files enrich and liven up articles. Remember that attribution or a statement justifying the use of media files is necessary on Ballotpedia. Some resources:
- Lifehacker's guide to finding uncopyrighted media.
- Image*After, an online database of free images and textures that can be used on Ballotpedia and other sites.
- Wikimedia Commons is a media file respository that contains public domain and freely licensed media files.
- See Help:Embedding a video for instructions on how to add a YouTube video to an article on Ballotpedia.
Trust, reliability and vandalism
Ballotpedia's users help control vandalism by regularly checking the "recent changes" page. Ballotpedia's software makes it possible to detect the IP addresses of systematic vandals.
- Logged-in users can create their own individual "watch lists" that let them keep an eye on articles that they feel deserve particular monitoring. They can also call up a list of all recent changes to the entire site.
- The software keeps an archive of all past versions of each article, making it easy to undo malicious or misguided changes by reverting to a previous version.
- Trusted users can be given "sysop" status, which lets them ban users who engage in vandalism. If a particular page becomes a target for repeat vandalism attempts, sysops can also mark that page as "protected," so that only other sysops can change it.
Ballotpedia is great! How do I spread the word?
- Spreading the word is really easy.
How do I edit a page?
- It's quite simple. Simply click "Edit this page" on the bottom or top of the page, and type away. See Help:Quick guide to editing to learn about making links, using bold and italics, linking to images, and many other things. See Help:Tutorials for more help.
How do I make links?
- A link is just the name of the page surrounded by double square brackets [[ ]]. See the quick guide to editing for more information.
What is an administrator? What is a sysop?
- Two words for the same thing. An administrator is simply a Ballotpedia user who can access the few restricted Ballotpedia software functions: deleting articles and uploaded files, protecting and unprotecting pages, blocking and unblocking IP addresses, and running certain direct database queries.
How can I become an administrator?
- It's easy. First, you need a user account. Then, make useful edits over a period of time. In this way, you prove to the community that you are here in good faith. Then, send a message to one of the administrators on their talk page and request sysop status.

'Muggy' heads to town promoting world's largest coffee morning
2:00pm Sunday 9th September 2012 in News
A GIANT green mug came to Colchester to promote the world's largest coffee morning.
The annual event held to raise cash for Macmillan Cancer Support takes place on Friday September 28.
To drum up support Muggy visited two Macmillan teams hosting coffee mornings, the information and support unit at Essex County Hospital and the welfare and benefits advice service at Colchester Council 's Rowan House offices.
Macmillan volunteer Annie McGrath said: "I think it's really important to remind people of the fantastic services on their doorstep and hopefully everyone will be inspired to help by taking part in the world's biggest coffee morning."

In a recently opened Café V, a coffee shop that offers vegetarian cuisine, seated is the beautiful Shonda Lauralee Mackey from Florence, Colorado. Same as in the pages of Angels Playpen, beauty is surrounded by art. Artists converse, unquestionably questioning everything their eyes and minds witness, accepting the truth at some point which leads a depth most people never reach. It's what makes an artist an artist. English and French Canadian, the picture of her as she sits in that Grand Junction coffee shop paints itself as she runs through our intimate interview.
A combination of Japanese and Brazilian gastronomies create the menu for the Ikibana restaurant; two cultures that seemingly clash come together to form a cohesive dining atmosphere. The conservative Japanese culture is juxtaposed against the liveliness of Brazil. The art of flower arrangement which is called Ikebana showcases a deep rooted respect for nature found in Japanese Culture, the space is fluidly sectioned off into islands, the bars and kitchens are divided into "intensity nodes." The jungles of Brazil come to life with the wooden ceiling designed as a forest of entwined branches. The restaurant is in Barcelona, Spain and was designed by El Equipo Creativo.
The texts were funny; this angel had wings that made her fly. Not in the literal sense but in reference to her personality and candor; she could fly off with the comments. Full of double meanings and innuendos, her phrases and technological utterances were bold and fearless. I enjoyed this immensely. We are all people here; words mean nothing but their definitions until we allow ourselves to feel something. And she made me feel… something. Ha. Incredibly sexy, it was hard… to believe it was she whom sent these interesting combinations of words and rhetoric. This is her interview.
In the heart of Valle del Elqui in Chile, a hotel where astronomy is at the core of its philosophy. The striking Elqui Domos Hotel sits in this narrow valley between the Andes Mountains and focuses on something I'd never heard of called: Sky Wealth. Sky Wealth, I assume refers to maximizing the sky's worth with long hikes, astronomic tours, nighttime horse rides, dome and observatory rooms.
How does one forget an angel as pretty as Chelsie Aryn Miller? I don't know how but I did. Blame it on my ADHD; blame it on my crazy schedule, blame it on whatever reason comes to mind but there is no real excuse for forgetting the chance to get to know a beauty like Chelsie. I feel like a fool… still here we are. But the interview is of a Christmas past, but who she is hasn't changed. It is my fault for telling this tale after so much time has passed. I suspect the essence of an angel rarely changes.
This elegant portrayal of sensuality was lensed by Medellin, Colombia based photographer Felipe Hoyos Montoya. Catalina Moreno is the name of the lovely model featured in each timeless setting. Bedroom eyes, intimate, private moments capture innocence and beauty; such a gift to transform awkward into sexy.
Pretty pictures, beautiful angels, amazing design all appear within Angels Playpen, visually intoxicating us into an addiction. Still these words shared between two minds carry the most potential to resonate in a much more lasting manner. We, whether wittingly or not, create an alternate reality, nothing truly imagined so it's still the real world, just a little more focused. We provide our viewers with something they can actually read, a short story perhaps. Our angel now, Hailey Solewin, is a self-admitted avid consumer of script and prose. "I am a huge reader," she says righteously, "it's one of my biggest pastimes and hobbies." Between the lines written here in Angels Playpen we'll gleam a little more than words can adequately communicate.
This beautiful Portuguese home with it's splendid white wall, perfect for art, hardwood flooring and vivid splashes of color is suitable for anyone full of bright ideas. It is the product of a recent renovation.
When you have ambition and become fearless in the pursuit of your dreams, things can get lonely out on the road to success and to further compound the issue, the world can be downright negative at times. "Even though there is so much negativity in the world," Alexus Untied begins talking of her own personal circumstances; "the people on my life bring me joy daily. They are very supportive and I always have someone to go to for anything." It's a blessing to have such a support system; so many of us artists do not. It's the people that make up your inner circle that you eventually come to rely on for strength and having people who genuinely wish to see you succeed is amazing.

Thousands of Americans could potentially be part of the class action, the suit says. Between 2005 and 2009 alone, national banks originated some 900,000 adjustable-rate mortgages indexed to Libor, according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The suit does not specify the damages it seeks, but says the defendant banks "earned hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in wrongful profits" by defrauding homeowners. John Sharbrough, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the average borrower with a Libor-based mortgage paid about $300 extra per year as a result of the alleged conspiracy.
Tracking the consequences: Barclays' settlement earlier this year exposed two kinds of Libor manipulation.
The firm admitted that beginning in 2005, its traders colluded with colleagues and counterparts at other banks to move Libor rates both up and down, depending upon the day, to benefit their trading positions. The bank also admitted to lowballing its Libor submissions between 2007 and 2009, as the financial crisis gathered force, in order to appear stronger and more creditworthy to investors.
Most of the lawsuits filed thus far have come from individuals and organizations with investments that rose and fell with Libor values -- effectively, creditors -- who say they lost money when the rates were suppressed during the financial crisis. In the homeowner case, however, it's borrowers who say they lost money, alleging that certain Libor rates were regularly inflated dating back to 2000.
Sharbrough said there could be "a potential conflict" between the homeowners' complaint, which alleges that certain Libor rates were too high, and other suits alleging rates were too low, at least for the years 2007 to 2009. He added that he needed to study the issue further.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said both creditors and borrowers could conceivably have been harmed by Libor manipulation.
"It just depends on the rate environment and the timing," he said. Given the variety of financial products tied to different Libor rates, he added, "It's not surprising that you've got a blizzard of legal actions out of all this."

Finding ways to help others in need during the holiday season is something Kentucky State Police Public Information Officer Shane Jacobs looks forward to each year. Kicking off its "Shop with a Trooper" event at the Harlan Walmart on Monday, Jacobs said the state police will be in Knox County today and Bell County on Wednesday.
"We have 22 children who were selected in Harlan County to participate in this event," Jacobs said. "Each child receives $120 to spend as they please with the exception (that) they must select a new winter coat while they shop."
Jacobs said this is just one of the ways the Kentucky State Police gives back to the community each year. He said it also offers children a chance to get to know a police officer.
"Sometimes kids see us in a negative way, and this is a way of showing them we are here to help them and keep them safe," Jacobs said. "To be able to hang out with a police officer for an hour or two is a great opportunity for the kids and the troopers as well. This one-on-one time is so valuable to a child in creating a positive image in their minds, so if there is ever a time they do need us they will feel comfortable coming to us for help."
Jacobs said as a trooper, this event is one of the highlights of the season.
"When you see their little faces light up, it just means the world to you," he said. "It's a great feeling. It's Christmas time, and the spirit of Christmas is giving to others. This is one of the best events we have, I feel, throughout the year."
Jacobs said Cawood and Wallins elementary schools were selected this year to participate in the event. He also said two children were selected from Harlan elementary. Each year, Jacobs said two schools in the county will be selected to participate, with teachers suggesting which students. The schools will be rotated so each school will be able to participate in the event.
Harlan Walmart Manager Paul Meister said he "is honored each year" to help with the "Shop with a Trooper" event.
"We try to support our Kentucky State Police in any way we can," Meister said. "This is a wonderful thing they do for our community every year."

Mongols vs Spartans

What are the difference between Mongol warriors and Spartan warriors? Both lead equally harsh lives, etc. What made the Spartans die out but not the Mongols? What enabled the Mongols to conquer the world but not eh Spartans?
The Spartans were supposed to be one of the finest infantry units in Ancient World. However, their number of men is extremely limited. Discipline is not what they lacked, they lacked unity. Also Greece had never been a unity. And as so many people maintained the traditional view toward Greek which presume that Spartans is the essence of Ancient warfare, this is completely wrong. The Corinthian Hoplites played equally role in defeating the Persia for instance
yes, the lack of unity is what impede the Spartan in particular, and the Greek in general, dominated their ancient world. Genghis Khan united all tribes in Mongolia, this is extremely important.
The invention of stirrups as well as the developement of bows and arrows, as well as siege warfare and technique that the Mongols learned from China and Muslim World really gave them the advantages over the Greek.
Those points are only very basic. I will return later since I am busy now.

The Mongols could be said as a compound of nomadic army. Not only Mongols, but also Uygurs, Kipchaks participated in their army, recently even some Russians claim that the famous Cossacks also joined their army (Unthinkable ). Thus, it is quite daunting to dismantle these two groups.Sparta was always at war with another Greek State or other Euro countries, but Mongolia most of the stayed quite, and lived their lives as nomads, before Genghis Khan came in. After his fall, they once again, fell pretty quietly, waiting to be released...

Sparta had perfect spearmen
Mongols had perfect cavalry
If Sparta's tactics and strategies inlcuded cavalry/missile units then SParta would have steamrolled the mongols faster than Ghengis Khan can say "dayum thsoe Greeks are hardcore!"
Posted 15 August 2007 - 04:17 PM
Makes me think of something I saw on a 300 video where someone asked if 300 Spartans could beat 300 Ninja (or was it Samurai?), a preposterous comparison because they didn't even exist in the same time period.
Posted 15 August 2007 - 04:31 PM
well Mongols were not quite. The book "Secret Histrory of Mongols" clearly indicates that there were no peace and order in Steppe "There were no time to sleep, but fight"Sparta was always at war with another Greek State or other Euro countries, but Mongolia most of the stayed quite, and lived their lives as nomads, before Genghis Khan came in.
If Mongols were living their simple nomad life happy and quite, there would not be any need of having Chinggis Khaan

guys are either normad farmers or soldiers if not hunters.
girls are more educated than the guys in comparison.
as per what i understand, as long as a boy is already able to walk, he will have to learn horse riding.
so basically their lives is all about horse riding, archery, & mongol wrestling.
you can basically expect them to be experts by the time they grew up under such trainnings at a tender age.
also Mongols tradditionally always move house. their house is never fixed at a single place.
hence as another result, it turn them into people with absolute stong adeaptablily, fliexibility & strong survival skills & abilities which are better & faster than others.
they are also a very united group of people. people within their own tribes have strong unity.
they have several codes of principles & discipline among themselves.

Spartans were infantry-based while Mongols were cavalry-based. In ancient warfare, cavalry usually had superior advantage against the infantry, due to their mobility, speed and the ability to strike with shock, easier manoeuvre. That's why such a small army of Mongols can conquer half of the world at that time.
Yep. And on top of that the phalanx was very vulnerable against mobile cavalry and powerful ranged attacks.
Also, discipline is the last thing any group of men lacks who manages to hold up a phalanx during combat.

Both are great ancient warriors, but as stated by many Sparta failed to to expand. The Mongols IMO are better tactician.
The Phalanx formation of the Spartans at Thermophylea were the Persians were so stupid to charge head on on a well protected narrow past was poor stradegy.
Even without going around the the Spartans, the Phalanx formation could have been broken with the use of spear hook or chain hook. ( I believe that during that time period Chinese soldiers were already using hook spear or hook trident). Pulling down the shields follow up with archers and long hook spear to sweep at the feet of the Spartan soldiers which are vulnerable because the Spartans were using round shields. Round shields are not as good as the rectangular shield that were used by ancient Chinese army and the Roman army.
I think that the Persian army were very poor warriors and were led very poorly.

Yea, this was not only Spartan culture or only confined to military teaching relationships either. Ancient Greeks in general practiced this "pederasty" as a teacher student relationship. It didn't always involve sex though.A big difference between Spartan and Mongol warriors is the whole practice of homosexuality. Spartans send their boys to a grown man's household to learn about fighting when they're 14 years of age in exchange for their manual labor and sexual favors. Don't believe me? Look it up. Homosexuality was not practiced among Mongols. And I'm glad.
In fact, Alexander the Great's army and the Carthaginian army both included the practice of homosexuality within their army as a means of creating closer ties to one another thus in theory making them fight stronger at each others sides. These specialized military units were known as the "Sacred Band".
The Mongol army in comparison created a system of companionship within their military ranks by breaking down their larger military divisions into small group of 10 called Arbans where members of each Arban were told to look out for one another on the battlefield. If a group had ever left a fellow member on the battlefield or strayed away from each other, then a harsh punishment would be given. Most likely death since Genghis Khan's laws were very harsh. There was also many other laws the Mongols had that Genghis had created in the Yasa to further bring Mongol soldiers and Mongol society in general closer like making it a crime to ever refuse food to another Mongol.

Measuring Segments
- Ruler postulate: The points on any line can be paired with real numbers so that, given any two points P and Q on the line, P corresponds to zero, and Q corresponds to a positive number
- If Q is between P and R, then QP + PR = QR
- If PQ + QR = PR, then Q is between P and R
- Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the measures of the legs equals the square of the measure of the hypotenuse
- The distance d between any two points with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula
