Robert Allen of the Detroit Free Press:
Former Michigan State basketball player Keith Appling was arrested after a traffic stop Sunday, his third arrest since May, Detroit police said.
Appling, 24, was pulled over at about 9 p.m. on the city's east side after driving away from a traffic stop, and a gun was found in a bag on the side of the road, according to an Associated Press report.
Bismack Biyombo might have left Toronto, but he didn't escape jokes about his age from the Raptors.
Biyombo – according to official records, which have been disputed – turned 24 yesterday.
Unofficially? Kyle Lowry:
The FIBA Hall of Fame (not to be confused with the Basketball Hall of Fame, which is not to be confused with the NBA Hall of Fame, which doesn't exist) enshrined Hakeem Olajuwon and David Stern in its 2016 class.
Olajuwon won a gold medal with Team USA in the 1996 Olympics. A Nigeria native, he has helped promote basketball in Africa.
After growing the sport's popularity stateside, Stern pushed to globalize basketball as NBA commissioner.
The full list of 2016 inductees:
Panagiotis Fasoulas (Greece)
Hakeem Olajuwon (Nigeria/USA)
Manuel Raga (Mexico)
Juan Antonio San Epifanio (Spain)
Michele Timms (Australia)
Jorge Canavesi (Argentina)
David J. Stern (USA)
The over-riding objective of the Hall of Fame is to reflect the history of the sport.
The honour may be awarded posthumously.
The key conditions for induction to the FIBA Hall of Fame are:
• Outstanding achievement at the international level from a personal effort or initiative
• Having contributed to the performances of players, technical officials, coaches, and administrators or to the global development of basketball.
Olajuwon and Stern seem to fit the bill.
Now, if only there were a Hall of Fame that appropriately recognized NBA achievements.
Blake Griffin reportedly doesn't want to leave Los Angeles when his contract is up next summer. This is a guy who has done stand up, is executive producer of a television show, and is generally loving the perks of living in Los Angeles.
Still, the dream lives on in Oklahoma City that he will come in and be the next star there and pair with Russell Westbrook.
Griffin was back in his native Oklahoma for alumni weekend with the OU basketball team, and he heard the sales pitch.
Griffin blows this off, just like he is going to try to blow off the dozens and dozens of reporters who will ask him about his summer plans during the season.
But he has to know the recruiting pitches are coming all season, especially when he visits OKC.

I am currently working with the popup comments on my site. Currently when you press the link for the popup comments (which works fine) it just opens the current window in a popup.
I was wondering is there a way to display just the comments? no post, no theme....just the comments them selves?
any suggestions? I suspect i need to toy around with my comments-popup theme file.

Conservation Status
The worldwide gentoo penguin population is stable with around 628,000 individuals. Some of these colonies are increasing moderately while others are declining rapidly. The constant, and sometimes drastic, changes in population size has gentoos listed as "Near Threatened" on the IUCN Red List. There are currently no conservation efforts in action, although some proposals suggest extending long-term observations on breeding colonies to limit disturbances of nesting sites. Protected areas have been set up in gentoo breeding grounds, including those on MacQuarie Island and Heard Island.
CITES: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: near threatened

1. I didn't want to change my acccount. Sovereing told me to do this.
2. I wanted to close my account now that I had a new one within their banking system. Sovereing wouldn't allow me to do this.
3. They continued to charge me fees.
4. Their collection person would only talk about the gym membership fee. Would not admit that Sovereing had charges on there.
5. I negotiated a rate to take off their. "249.00 and it will be closed? I asked this twice." When I attempted to pay it, they tried to charge me a high rate of 289.00 and charged me a wire fee.
This is the worst treatment I have ever been given by any company. $250.00 in fees to be treated like it was your fault that they didn't close the account. Anytime a company inquires into your credit history, it impacts your credit rating. They have not only committed collusion, they have affected my credit rating which impairs my ability to gain employment. Throughout I was dealing with Sovereing and kept pushing the blame around to each other.

You love music and think you might like to perform, conduct, teach, compose, or become a music therapist. Your idea of doing something fun and creative is to join a performing group—choral or instrumental, jazz, popular, classical, or marching band. You'll find plenty of opportunities to do all of that and more as a music major at Iowa. For example, recent Iowa graduates with a degree in music have found careers as music therapists, music educators, and professional performers.
Why Study at Iowa?
The University of Iowa School of Music has long been recognized as one of the best university-based music schools in the United States. It also has a stellar reputation in the international fine arts community.
With an enrollment of about 470 music majors, the school is large enough to have strong programs in all areas of specialization but small enough to give you the individual attention that will help your talent grow.
The school gives all qualified students—music majors and nonmajors alike—the opportunity to study music. In addition to its comprehensive course offerings for majors, it provides a generous selection of courses for nonmajors as well as opportunities to participate in performing groups.
The School of Music also collaborates with the Tippie College of Business to provide instruction for a Certificate in Arts Entrepreneurship for students interested in starting a performing arts business or using entrepreneurial skills to promote their work as an artist.
Course Work
Students majoring in music may earn a Bachelor of Music (BM) or a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.
The BM program is for students who plan on careers as musicians, music educators, or music therapists. Professional certification in music education and music therapy are available only through the BM program.
The BA program is designed for students who have strong abilities and interest in music but are not planning on careers as musicians or who want to combine the music major with a second major in another discipline.
See Music in the UI General Catalog to learn more about the degree programs and graduating with honors.
Bachelor of Music (BM) Program
If you're a BM student, especially in music education or music therapy, common course requirements include music fundamentals, theory, and history; group piano; recital attendance; and conducting. Four years of applied music and ensemble participation are required, as well as a variety of elective courses. You'll also present a senior recital.
Four concentrations are available for BM students:
- The Performance Concentration offers programs in brass, keyboard, percussion, strings, voice, and woodwinds. A second emphasis in jazz studies may be added to this concentration.
- The Composition Concentration requires additional course work in composition and music theory. Composition students also must pass an audition in a performance area.
- The Music Education Concentration requires enrollment in an instrumental or vocal performance program and completion of the College of Education's Teacher Education Program.
- The Music Therapy Concentration includes a comprehensive education in music, with a variety of performance opportunities, and provides students with access to facilities at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
Bachelor of Arts (BA) Program
If you're a BA student, you will complete many of the same requirements as Bachelor of Music students do, but you'll be more limited in the amount of music credit you may count toward graduation.
See Music in the UI General Catalog to learn more about the BM and BA degree programs and graduating with honors.
Minor in Music
Admission Requirements
Prospective music majors must apply to and be accepted by both the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Muic. Admission to the music major is selective. As an entering first-year student, you'll declare a music interest as your major for advising assignments and course selection. You should audition for admission to the major during your senior year of high school—before the end of February if you want to be considered for scholarships. If you are applying to the music composition program, you'll need to submit examples of your creative and/or written work. For more details, visit the School of Music website.
Admission Requirements Tabs
Student Opportunities
In addition to nearly 500 Student Organizations, Iowa students choose from multiple Living-Learning Communities, Study Abroad Programs, and Undergraduate Research Opportunities.
First-year students in music may enjoy living in the Arts Living-Learning Community, the Just About Music (JAM) Living-Learning Community or the Standing Ovation Living-Learning Community in the residence halls.
Performance Opportunities
From new music to jazz to symphonic classics and opera, the University of Iowa has nearly two dozen Performing Groups for music students. Among them are the University Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Band, Hawkeye Marching Band, Percussion Ensemble, Center for New Music ensembles, Johnson County Landmark jazz band, and University Choir.
Faculty, Facilities, and Resources
The music faculty consists of highly trained artist-teachers in each area of specialization and scholars of international distinction. Faculty members give lessons in all band and orchestral instruments, voice, piano, and organ. Learn more by visiting Faculty Profiles on the School of Music website.
Most of the University of Iowa arts campus was damaged or destroyed by Iowa River flooding in 2008. While planning and construction of new facilities are under way, the School of Music is conducting business as usual in several facilities located near the center of campus.
These temporary homes for the school have been fitted specifically to accommodate music classes, instrumental and vocal practice, rehearsals, and performances. They also provide facilities for recording and acoustical manipulation. For a detailed description and pictures of our interim facilities, please visit the School of Music website: http://music.uiowa.edu/about/facilities.
The Rita Benton Music Library has been conveniently relocated to the university's Main Library. The music library holds more than 70,000 music scores; 50,000 books; 3,500 microforms; and 28,000 media items in all formats (e.g., CDs, DVDs, LPs, VHS tapes). The library subscribes to about 300 journals and offers full-text online access.
Students also have access to electronic audio reserves for class listening assignments and to commercially available streamed audio products such as Classical Music Library, Naxos Jazz, and Naxos Music Library. The large reference collection is supplemented by several online resources.
New Building--Looking Toward the Future
The new building's planning and construction are under way. Preparation of the site and excavation began in Summer 2013, and the building will be completed by May 2016. State-of-the-art facilities, exceptional faculty, and a dedicated and outstanding student body will usher in a new era for the School of Music. For details and to view plans of the new building, please visit http://music.uiowa.edu/building/building-construction.
Iowa graduates have job placement rates ranging from 86-100 percent, depending on their area of study, and our Pomerantz Career Center offers multiple resources to help students find internships and jobs.
Prospective undergraduate music majors are considered for scholarships when they audition for admission. The School of Music offers numerous competitive scholarships to students who demonstrate exceptional talent in their chosen areas. Awards are determined by audition and are renewable for four years if students meet specific academic and performance criteria. See the School of Music website for more details.
The Office of Admissions and the Office of Student Financial Aid also are great resources for students seeking scholarships.

"RE: question about birds"
Darlene,Rent me a 300 f/4, and I'll be better able to answer that question. I have to tell you that I would be perfectly happy with some of the 1st photos you posted, including the hawk eating the skunk (except as usual, I would have preferred a slightly different crop).I'm sure that the 300mm f4 is a sharper lens than almost all zooms. You'll need to check whether any particular TC is compatible with any particular lens. TCs will affect exposure by a stop or two, and the DOF. So you have to see what your total needs are before making expensive mistakes like I have done.Everybody has different opinions. I presented a photo for a live critique before a bunch of high-end photogs (It's of a duck that I think is in my gallery). I presented it to see if they thought I should spot remove a floating feather. The major criticizer went into a tirade like I had done something terrible to him. He said that if not for one thing in the photo, it would be totally worthless. No one in the audience had the guts to say a word. Guess I'll have to give back all that money I've made on that image.So my advice is to get the best glass that you can afford for the purpose for which you want it. Then study techniques from the best (in person/on-line/or DVD), and practice, practice. Then share on here to learn.Charlie

Nacho Prefers Pacquiao-Marquez 5 Outside of U.S. Soil
By Ernesto Castellanos, notifight.com
Trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain is certainly not on board with Juan Manuel Marquez facing Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao for a fifth time, but he will support Marquez's decision if he decides to take the fight. The fourth meeting took place in December 2012, with Marquez knocking out Pacquiao in the sixth round. If Marquez defeats Mike Alvarado on May 17th in California, he would be in line to face Pacquiao for the WBO welterweight title in the fall.
Nacho doesn't like the idea of the fight taking place in the United States, because of the taxes involved. To eliminate that problem, the fight could always head to Macau, where Pacquiao fought Brandon Rios last November. Certainly Marquez would like to lure Pacquiao to Mexico.
"I do not like that fight being made, and least of all in the United States. If the fight takes place in America, they would both walk away with far less money, because the U.S. Treasury would take away a lot of the money. Economically it does not make sense for Juan, at least under the terms they are offering. I already explained my position on that encounter. Now if the promoters convince Juan [to fight Pacquiao], I am there for him," Nacho said.

(Music playing) Deke's Photoshop? Deke's Photoshop? Top 40! Feature #28 is Hue/Saturation and even though Hue/Saturation is growing a little bit long in the tooth. It's somewhat rickety as you'll see. It continues to do something that no other function inside of Photoshop does. You can modify one color independently of all other colors inside of an image and you can do so from one central dialog box or palette, so it's very easy as you will see, and it's extremely effective.
You can create all kinds of credible effects. It works very nicely. And that is why Hue/Saturation earns a place on my Top 40 list today. Now, I am looking at a photograph by T. Tulic and this could not be a more perfect demonstration of the Hue/Saturation function, because this woman is holding a hue wheel in back of her. She's holding this amazing rainbow umbrella here. And it's just a horizontally flipped version of the hue wheel that's at work inside of Photoshop. So the colors transition around the wheel from red into yellow, so through orange right there, into green, cyan, blue and then presumably magenta behind her chartreuse sweater and then back into red.
Now this chartreuse sweater goes to the heart of my problem with this image. I actually think the image looks totally great except I'm just not happy with her sweater choice, not because the colors is too garish, but because for two reasons actually. First, it too closely matches the green foliage of the background here. So I want more contrast. And I think it makes her skin look a little bit sallow, makes her look slightly jaundiced. If we warm-up her sweater, we might warm- up her flesh as well, and I want to get rid of this green reflection in her hair. I don't think that's contributing anything to the image at this point.
These are all corrections we can make using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Now, if you are working inside Photoshop CS3 or earlier, you would go down here to this Black/White icon, click on it, and choose Hue/Saturation. That's going to bring up a dialog box and you will work from there. However, I'm working inside Photoshop CS4. So I am going to switch over to the Adjustments palette, and I am going to click on the second icon in the second row. Actually, I am going to press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, and click on that icon to invoke the New Layer dialog box, and I am going to go ahead and name this layer color shifter, because that's what we are going to be doing is shifting colors inside the image, and then I'll click OK.
Now, notice these sliders right here. They are the same sliders that are available to you inside of CS3 and earlier. We also have this Colorize checkbox. If you turn on Colorize, you are going to replace all of the Hue values and all of the Saturation values as well with one Hue/Saturation combination, and by default that ends up being a low saturation red. That's not what we want to do, so I will go ahead and turn off Colorize. Otherwise you've got these three sliders at work here. I am going to explain them from the bottom up because it gets better and better as we go upward.
Lightness is not the best option. In fact, it's by far the worst option inside of this dialog box. If I reduce the Lightness value, I make white darker, I keep black where it is. So what I end up doing is compressing the shadows. I totally obliterate the highlights and the image looks awful. Whereas if I increase the Lightness value, it gets even worse. I go ahead and make black lighter, keep white where it is, compress the highlights, completely obliterate the shadows and the image looks hideously washed out like this, which is why 999 times out of a thousand, you're going to leave Lightness alone.
There are much better ways to adjust luminance inside of Photoshop. This is a bad way. Much better inside of this dialog box is Saturation, which allows you to either increase the intensity of colors, and of course I'm going way over at the top here to 100. You want to apply more subtle modifications when you're adjusting Saturation. You can also reduce the Saturation value to -100, in which case you're going to end up with a grayscale image. Now, this is not the best way to generate a grayscale image inside of Photoshop. We saw the best way when I showed you feature #36 Black And White.
But this is a way it's available to you. All right, let's go ahead and reset Saturation to 0, then there's the Hue value. The Hue value is unlike anything available otherwise inside of Photoshop, because it has no constraints. You can completely modify the hues across the board. And I was telling you that hues are measured on a wheel much like this umbrella. So think in terms of degrees. There are 360 degrees in a circle and you can modify the Hue value to -180 degrees or +180 degrees, which describes a complete circle.
And as you do, notice how you're rotating those hues around that umbrella, watch the colors rotate around the umbrella there, and you could also see the colors inside of her flesh change, the colors inside of the background and on and on. You also have these two color ramps down here which are going to show you the before colors on top and the after colors on bottom. So in other words, Cyan is getting mapped to green, blue is getting mapped to cyan, magenta is getting mapped to blue and so on and so on. You may find that helpful. It's there if you want it. Of course watching the changes on -screen is very helpful indeed.
Now, let's say at this point I look at the sweater and I think it looks great. This is the color I would like to see for the sweater, I would like to be sort of this peachy sort of slightly yellowish color at this point. That's fine. However, it really comes at the expense of her face. It's like we've smooshed a strawberry on her, a big giant strawberry, don't you know? And spring has turned into fall in the background, and the colors inside of the umbrella have gone to heck. So this is no good. She has got weird sort of bluish highlights on her lips. Just isn't going to work for us. And that's why you want to be able to modify some colors independently of other colors inside of Photoshop.
And you can do that from either the dialog box or the Adjustments palette. I will reset the Hue value to 0. If you're working inside Photoshop CS3, you would click on Master, the little Master pop-up menu, and you would choose one of these options here, Reds, Yellows, Greens, Cyans, Blues or Magentas, and I was telling you that's how it works across the color wheel. We have reds going into yellow, going into green, cyan, then blue, and then of course magenta behind her sweater there. And those are the regions of color inside the image and so you can change all the reds independently of all yellows and greens and so on.
And it's going to be a nice sloping drop-off. So it's not going to look like suddenly the colors are changing on you. It's going to look very organic and nice. Now, it gets even better inside of Photoshop CS4 because you have this guy right there, which is the Target Adjustment tool. We saw it when we looked at feature #36, Black & White. It's here inside Hue/Saturation as well and what it allows you to do is drag directly inside the image and change either the Saturation values or the Hue values on-the-fly selectively, so just in that region of color that you're dragging on. So I will go ahead and click on this tool to select it.
Again, it's new to Photoshop CS4. And then to demonstrate how the tool works with no keys down, I'm going to drag in this area of blue right here. If I drag to the right, I'm going to increase the saturation of those blues. So you're modifying saturation when you drag. Notice right here that I am seeing Blues selected inside the Adjustments palette. So Photoshop did that for me automatically. It isolated the blues and then it increased the Saturation value to +100 because I dragged so far to the right. If I drag to the left like so, I'm going to reduce the Saturation value, again just for the blues, because I am dragging inside a blue region of the image. All right.
Let's go ahead and reset that value to 0. I just want you to see that that's how it works if you just drag with the tool. More useful for our purposes is the ability to Ctrl+Drag with the tool. That's Command+Drag on the Mac, which changes the Hue value. So I am going to press and hold the Ctrl key here on the PC, that'd be the Command key on the Mac, and I am going to drag inside of her sweater and notice as I do, I'm changing those colors inside of her sweater independently of the other colors inside the image. Now, it looks like I am changing a lot of the image at once. I want you to notice what's not changing, the red portion of the umbrella is not changing, nor are the blues or the cyans or the greens.
What is changing is the yellows. Now, that may surprise you since her sweater started up being greenish, right at chartreuse. But where Photoshop is concerned, let me show you something here. I will go ahead and reset the Hue value to 0. This area right there, I am not dragging on it, I'm just pointing to it. That's green but the background foliage falls more in the yellow zone and this is just true of grass green. Grass green falls inside the yellow zone inside Photoshop. That goes for her sweater as well and much of her skin. Her skin is informed by both yellow and red.
So changing either yellow or red is going to mess up the skin, as we saw in just a moment ago. But again I am going to press the Ctrl key, Command key on the Mac and I am going to drag inside the sweater, and I am going to drag over, look at the Adjustments palette in the upper- right corner of the screen if you will. You'll see that Yellows is automatically selected and I've reduced the Hue value to -60 because I've Ctrl+Dragged or Command+Dragged a little bit over to left. All right. And this is the color that I am looking for, for the sweater more or less, mas o menos. It will change a little bit as we finesse the results here. I also want to reduce the Saturation a little bit.
So I will drag to the left, once again, inside the sweater to until I get a Saturation value of -20, and you can see that represented over here inside the palette. All right. So this is not truly acceptable, I know. I think it's better maybe than if we had changed all the colors inside the image, because we've retained some of the colors inside the umbrella here, but we have still messed up the background. It still looks like, well I am not sure that's fall. That's like sort of a radioactive fall in the background there, and then her face is quite red as well.
What we need to do is we need to finesse the color range. So just because it says Yellows doesn't mean we need to stick with the Yellows. We can actually adjust that Yellow range and it's represented right here toward the bottom of the palette, at the bottom of the dialog box. Notice this sort of triangle or trapezoid right here and then there is a bar, another bar and another trapezoid, what have you. Well the bars represent the absolute range of colors that are getting modified. This yellow zone right here, that's getting remapped to red as you can see. But also we have these light gray regions, which are the drop-off zones so that we're getting soft transitions between the modified colors and the unmodified colors.
And you can actually adjust this range just by dragging, for example, inside the light gray. So I'm going to drag over until I see those values. Notice those values with a \ between them. They're changing on the fly, as I drag inside that light gray area. So I have got 120 degrees going to 150 degrees and 120 degrees is green by the way. 60 degrees is yellow, 0 degrees red. These are just things you know as you work inside Photoshop overtime. But it's not really important because you can see that you're working inside the green zone right here.
I am going to go ahead and back off this trapezoid here, so this represents the end of my drop-off to 145 degrees, just to turn things up a bit. Now that doesn't seem like we're doing any good at this point, because I just incorporated the greens in my modification. I did this with a purpose so I want to give myself more room to work on this side, because I need to move this guy right here in order to open up the colors interface, notice that. If I drag this light gray area over to the right a little bit, I restore the colors interface quite a bit and I am going to move this over until the first value, the value before the slash and the far left side of the palette is 29 degrees and then I am going to drag the bar directly until that second value is 77 degrees and these are just values that I discovered worked quite well for this image.
Now, notice if I turn off this eyeball here, then you can see that the colors inside the face really haven't changed very much. So this is the before version of the image with the chartreuse sweater, and this is the after version of the image. I'm still changing the background quite a bit. I am obviously changing her sweater, I'm still affecting the umbrella, but I'm not affecting the colors inside her face. I can't sacrifice those. I need those to hold up under scrutiny here. Now, notice that Photoshop has gone ahead and automatically switched my range from Yellows to Greens, because now I'm working more in the Green zone here.
And if you bring up the pop-up menu, you will see that we now have two greens. So yellow switched over to greens. Greens becomes greens too. We don't care. They can all be anything at this point. They can all be modified on the fly. All right. So we still somehow need to restore the background to its original color and restore the umbrella as well. I'm working inside of an adjustment layer which automatically has a layer mask assigned to it, so I can paint inside that layer mask in order to protect more colors, I am going to do that using yet another Top 40 feature the Brush tool.
Go ahead and click on that tool select it. Notice that black is my foreground color which means that I can mask away some of my Hue/Saturation adjustment layer by painting, and I am going to increase the size of my Brush Cursor by pressing the Right Bracket key a few times and then I am going to paint in the background in order to restore those original green colors. I will paint over the top of the umbrella as well to restore that area. You don't want to paint over the colors that you're trying to change. For example, if I were to click on her shoulder there, I would create this weird chartreuse highlight right there in her shoulder which looks like the sweater faded or something ghastly along those lines.
Go ahead and zoom in to correct that if you were to accidentally do such a thing. Then you would press the X key to swap your foreground and background color, so that the foreground color is now white, and then you would paint inside that shoulder to reinstate the good peach colors right there. I also want to paint along this arm here to reinstate the peach right there at that location. Now, I do have a little bit of a problem if I zoom in here. You will that I have a little bit of a problem where we have fall transitioning into spring in the background. I want to tidy that up, make it look better.
So I'm going to reduce the size of my brush and then I am going to increase the hardness by pressing Shift+] a couple of times and I am going to press the X key in order to switch the foreground color back to black, and I am just going to paint along her arm like so in order to paint back in the good green foliage in the background. All right. Let's go ahead and zoom out once again. And finally I want to make sure that we're not harming the hair incidentally. Notice that she had some terrific green highlights going on inside of the hair. And when I say terrific, I mean undesirable. I don't like them.
They are just over the top terrific. I will go ahead and turn the adjustment layer back on. Press the X key so that I'm painting with white, because I want to paint back in my adjustment layer and I will paint over her hair like so in order to paint back in the warmth. And then, I am going to press the X key in order to paint with black again. I'm going to reduce the hardness of my brush by pressing Shift+Left Bracket a couple of times, so we have a nice soft brush. And I'm going to paint over her eyes, because she did have a little bit of differently colored highlight going on inside those eyes and I'd like to preserve that. All right.
Now, let's go ahead and zoom out and this is the final version of the effect folks. Go ahead and switch to my Rectangular Marquee tool, turn the layer off so you can see the before version of the image, oh, my gosh it's so green, so much green going on, not only her sweater but also the green reflections on her hair. And this is the after version of the image. Notice how beautiful that sweater looks. The high degree of contrast that we have between foreground and background, and look how her hair looks. Her hair looks splendid against this new sweater. It looks better than it did before, which is amazing.
So in other words, Hue/Saturation acts like a built-in mask. It's doing this masking here on the fly, thanks to the settings that we applied here inside the Adjustments palette. And that is the power of feature #28, Hue/Saturation, here inside Photoshop.

Skip to comments.Romney campaign says losing nomination would take 'act of God'
Posted on 03/07/2012 11:36:30 AM PST by Red Steel
BOSTON -- Mitt Romney's campaign gathered the national press corps in their campaign war room this morning to deliver a simple message: It would take an "act of God" for any candidate not named Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination.
The Boston-based campaign projected confidence in Romney's ability to win the nomination given the emerging delegate math in the campaign following last night's Super Tuesday contests.
"We will get to 1,144 whether it's on someone elses timeline, or on our timeline," said one top Romney aide. "We will get to 1,144 and be the Republican nominee."
The background briefing with several members of the campaign's senior staff was emblematic of Romney's campaign: no grand flourishes, just business, math and message, with aides asserting the calendar was ill-suited to any candidate looking to eat into Romney's delegate lead.
Looking ahead to a primary calendar where the only remaining true winner-take-all states appear to favor Romney -- Delaware, Utah, New Jersey and the District of Columbia (where Rick Santorum is not on the ballot) -- the advisers tried to slowly close the door on Santorum and Newt Gingrich, who they said had little to no opportunity left to close the delegate gap.
Other delegate-heavy states like California and Texas (the latter thought to be less friendly to Romney) are winner-take-all by congressional district, which all but guarantees their large delegate hauls being split between candidates, rather than award a large haul to a single GOP hopeful. One Romney aide said one would have to "bend the laws of reality," to see Gingrich or Santorum making a significant dent in Romney's lead...
Asked directly when they would begin working behind the scenes to convince the Gingrich and Santorum campaigns to see the math their way, one Romney adviser responded bluntly "now."
(Excerpt) Read more at firstread.msnbc.msn.com ...
You got that right. Arrogance to the extreme. Mitt and his evil staff can't wait to screw conservatives.
The great joy I have is that Mitt will NEVER get my vote.
Never again will I vote for evil people who worship at the alter of State Power.
Hi. Perhaps Bruce Ismay of the White Star Line in 1912 wasn't the one who said it before the filming of the whichever version of the Titanic movie you mean. (http://www.titanic1.org/articles/ismay.asp)
Perhaps the statement was used in a movie only, although I heard about it in the 1950's.
Even if this Titanic line is fiction, Romney's people said today what they said today.
Not sure what you're trying to prove by questioning this.
There was a poll of voters showing that a majority preferred a candidate with 'business' experience.
The problem with Romney is his potential for considering that we are all his employees.
He better get a grip and realize that a POTUS is employed by us, paid by us and works for us.
Newt understands the concept.
Also, please see post 39, this thread.
Dear Lord, we so don't need another arrogant person assuming the position of President of this nation. I have felt like we were under judgement ever since the last election.
I can't help but remember Sarah and her servant's heart.
God Bless her for voting for Newt!
Wow, that is one arrogant statement. It sounds like the kind of thing that Barack Obama would say. I hope he falls short of a majority at the convention not only for being a RINO, but for saying something so haughty. Having him as the party's front-runner was bad enough already.
Challenging God is never a wise move.
...THREE non-Romney candidates. I know there are Paul supporters who would also support a very strong Conservative candidate.
Ron Paul may be using his block of support to assist Romney's bid; it appears that he is. But not all of those in the Paul column are not necessarily transferable directly to the Romney column.
...not all of those in the Paul column are necessarily transferable directly to the Romney column.
IBTZ on Romney.
ROFL (See rich guy in Bible with big barn for reference.)
He and Soetoro are two of a kind. Both arrogant, sniveling narcissistic a$$holes
this is something I wouldn't have said......God has a funny way of making His own decisions.....

Ok all of you ex or current athletes can you answer this?
My thinking is that had he played in the pre-season, granted the fact that he went through a rigorous training camp, he would have came out stronger, more conditioned and his ankles may have been more accustomed to the strain of the game.
Do you think he still would have gotten injured? Would he have gotten injured earlier?
I think that if he played, he wouldn't have came out flat in Arizona... and would have been in better game condition.
I'm not saying he got hurt because he didn't play in the pre-season, just wondering if you guys think it would have made a difference one way or another

Places for People makes £70 million move into private rented sector market
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing
Places for People makes £70 million move into private rented sector market
Places for People has taken a major step into the private rental market with the acquisition of 925 homes from the property development and investment group Terrace Hill.
According to Places for People chief executive David Cowans, the £70 million deal is part of its long-term strategy to develop a private rented sector portfolio.
Terrace Hill says the sale is part of its plans to exit the residential sector in order to concentrate on its core commercial development activity.
The news comes just days after Places for People announced a £18.5 million deal to buy 271 retirement properties from Grainger.
It forms part of a string of announcements from the group signalling moves to diversify from its core social landlord activities.
In December, Places for People confirmed a deal to buy leisure facilities management company DC Leisure, which runs around 100 leisure facilities - including swimming pools, leisure centres and gymnasiums - on behalf of 28 local authorities.

President Finds Benefits In Defeat on Health Care
Published: July 30, 1996
(Page 4 of 4)
In the short run, Mr. Clinton said, he just wants to keep Republicans from making basic changes, like allowing beneficiaries to leave the program, that he believes would threaten the coverage of the elderly poor. In the early days, Mr. Clinton had declared it imperative that everyone have health insurance. Today, he speaks of the plight of the uninsured primarily as a warning of what the elderly stand to lose.
"My idea of changing Medicare is not to leave lower-middle-class seniors in the same position that lower-middle-class non-seniors are in in America," he said. "You know, the people that don't have health insurance in America are the non-senior, nonpoor, not-quite good middle-class people, by and large. These are the people without any health insurance. And what I didn't want to do was to see us make structural changes in the Medicare program which would recreate in the senior population the same problems we've got in the non-senior population."
The President said he hoped to sign some version of Senate legislation, sponsored by Senators Nancy Landon Kassebaum of Kansas and Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, which would enable workers to take their health insurance with them when they change jobs. In a second term, he said, his next step would be to find some way to insure people who remain jobless for long stretches.
Whatever the President could do to give more people access to health care, the future of the system seems certain to be charted not by a National Health Board or a global health-care budget, but by the market.
Who will benefit and what the costs for individuals and the nation will be are still being sorted out.
With the rise of for-profit medicine, "many exciting innovations are occurring in medical practice, including more emphasis on preventive care," said Robert H. Miller, a health economist at the University of California in San Francisco. "But the current competition is substantially different from what was envisioned by the architects of managed competition."
Mr. Rother, of the American Association of Retired Persons, has a sarcastic name for what has emerged: "unmanaged competition."
"In a way," Mr. Rother said, "both parties sort of stubbed their toes on this. H.M.O.'s are taking over at a very rapid rate. It's slowed the growth of health-care costs for people under 65, but it's also caused a lot of dislocation and confusion."
On the one hand, health-care spending grew more slowly in 1994 than in any other year since 1960, and many employers say insurance premiums have leveled off or even declined. On the other hand, the President's campaign pledge to make health care "a right, not a privilege" has gone unmet, while the ranks of the uninsured have grown.
Small businesses and the self-employed have few protections that Mr. Clinton proposed in 1993, leaving them to wrestle unassisted with the cost of medical coverage.
Mr. Miller, who has studied changes in 15 communities across the country, said that "while the creation of health-care networks helps develop the potential for improving the health-care system, it does not necessarily lead to improvements" in the quality of care. So far, he said, health plans and health-care providers are competing on price more often than on quality.
Dr. Samuel O. Thier, chief executive of the Partners Health Care System in Boston, said the absence of a Federal policy had created a vacuum that had been filled by managed-care companies driven by profit.
That system, Dr. Thier said, "is not driven by any commitment to broadening access to care. There is little incentive for managed-care companies to serve the uninsured."
The public also appears apprehensive. In a New York Times poll conducted from June 20 to 23, nearly one-third of the 1,121 people surveyed -- 32 percent -- said the health-care system had gotten worse since Mr. Clinton became President. Only 12 percent said it had gotten better.
That may sound ominous for an incumbent seeking re-election. But two-thirds of respondents blamed the Republican Congress more than the President for the failure to enact universal health insurance.
In fact, Mr. Clinton may have emerged with a political windfall of sorts. Public criticism of the unsettling changes in health care -- changes very much akin to what his plan might have engendered -- is being borne by big insurance companies and big H.M.O.'s, not big Government.
"All the criticism being leveled against the market would have been leveled even more ferociously against the Government," Stuart H. Altman, a professor of national health policy at Brandeis University, said in a recent interview. "As it turned out, the best thing that ever happened to the Government, for this purpose, was not to have passed the Clinton bill."

A1); THE OPENING ROUND -- In his 1994 State of the Union Message, President Clinton held up a pen and told Congress, "If you send me legislation that does not guarantee every American health insurance that can never be taken away, you will force me to take this pen, veto the legislation, and we'll come right back here and start over again.

Skip to comments.War not conservative (Rep. John J. Duncan, R-Tenn.)
Posted on 03/13/2010 6:46:36 PM PST by rabscuttle385
There is nothing conservative about the war in Afghanistan. The Center for Defense Information said a few months ago that we had spent over $400 billion on the war and war-related costs there. Now, the Pentagon says it will cost about $1 billion for each 1,000 additional troops we send to Afghanistan. One Republican Member from California told me recently that we could buy off every warlord in Afghanistan for $1 billion.
Fiscal conservatives should be the ones most horrified by all this spending. Conservatives who oppose big government and huge deficit spending at home should not support it in foreign countries just because it is being done by our biggest bureaucracy, the Defense Department.
We have now spent $1.5 trillion that we did not have--that we had to borrow--in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eight years is long enough. In fact, it is too long. Let's bring our troops home and start putting Americans first once again.
That's been my thought from the get-go.
Yeah, and like any whore that can be bought for money, they will turn round and screw with others, right after taking our money. What is America going to do when the Taliban take our money, then turn round and start another jihad with Al Quaeda, the moment US troops leave Afghanistan?
And what will this congressman do, if Al Quaeda come and bomb New York again, after we've left Afghanistan because we "paid off the warlords"?
Que up the 9-11 pics.
My question as well. It is a fact that there are folks out there, mostly Islamists and communists, who will just not let us rest as long as we have any wealth and we do not serve their god.
Jimmy Duncan is a Hard-Core Conservative.
Click here for explanation of political philosophy.
Click here for VoteMatch quiz.
IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation,
To call upon a neighbour and to say:
"We invaded you last night - we are quite prepared to fight,
"Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That youve only to pay em the Dane-geld
And then youll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
"We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But weve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray,
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:
"We never pay any one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"
—Rudyard Kipling
Who apparently doesn't even begin to understand the capacity, lethality, or perseverance of the enemy we face.
The war is dishonest because our borders are wide open and our "leaders" fight to keep them open. We face an insurrection here at home while our best and bravest fight a hopeless war with insane Rules of Engagement, and fighting men courts-martialed for doing what they are sworn to do!!
Fiscal conservatives also like to stay alive. This guy sounds like Ron Paul.
In the NINTH year of this war now; WWII--the World War--was over in six years, US part against Japan and Germany less than FOUR years. Unconditional surrender.
The purpoas of the war has changed from retaliation to democracy building, and that is a conservative value.
Followed by decades of occupation, rebuilding, and incorporation into our defense alliances to keep them from sliding back and being attacked or seduced by other forces even worse than they.
We continue to maintain bases in both countries and to let their enemies know that to get to them you have to go through us.
True, I think the whole point is to surround Iran, we should just nuke the whole area and be done with it.
Our _resident, our SecDef & JCS and Pentagon are all compromised. Rumsfeld may have been OK, but he is long gone, and besides, he too had to follow orders.
There has been, and continues to be, a great swarm of contractors who are very rich from these wars. And our boys come home in coffins with the flag to grieving families.
Paul of course who is another hard core fiscal conservative & they are both right because it is true that there is nothing conservative about war.
Is that the voice of reason I hear?
You've got to be kidding. NEO-conservative maybe, but when did conservatism change to the point where it thinks it's necessary to spread democracy around the world?
When did the conservative opinion say that it is not necessary anymore to go to war w/o a formal declaration of war by Congress as the Constitution requires?
When did the conservative view act as if the President has the authority to put our troops in harm's way on his own?
I always thought that the conservative view was to mind our own business re: the internal affairs of other nations while @ the same time being fully armed & 110% prepared in case we are attacked.
Silly me.
Correction: that is NOT a conservative value. You should be more careful when you proofread your posts. "Democracy building" is a PROGRESSIVE/LIBERAL value. Look at who started it, with the League of Nations: Woodrow Wilson, the Socialist progressive Dumbocrat.

We spend far more on welfare and other entitlements.
Whacking terrorists is in the best interests of our national security.
How 'bout we go after spending on garbage like in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants, TARP and other such nonsense instead?
Good point Allegra.
Some people think by letting the enemy take over other countries while flying planes into New York City bldgs
and shooting up and killing people on an American Army Base
and trying to set off a bomb in a plane over Detroit
along with bombing areas of London, Madrid, and the list goes on.
What ever amount of money we save, if and when the enemy take over here, it won't do us any good when we are dead.
We Win, They Lose!
Of course...but that's no excuse for wasting taxpayer's $ or spending it in areas that are not proscribed by the Constitution simply 'cuz you think it's "needed", Allegra.
How 'bout we go after spending on garbage like in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants, TARP and other such nonsense instead?
BOTH of you are right. Quit whining about where to begin & START SOMEWHERE, OK? We need an America First/protect our borders defense policy rather than the current (& decades long) progressive one which promotes spreading democracy around the globe. Bring our troops home & place them along our borders, sea ports, & airports. We need to make Eisenhower's "Operation Wetback" look like child's play!
I live 20 miles north of the largest and busiest border crossing in the world. San Diego - Tijuana.
When the Mexicans start flying planes into bldgs in NYC and shooting up U.S. Army base killing several people, when they have bombed areas of London and other parts of Europe and other parts of the world.
When their leaders have declared war on America and
the infidels. When they draw in blond hair American women into their terror plots.
I will then put my focus 100% on them and not the IslamOfascists who declared war on and Attacked our country.
Don't tell me all the usual stuff.
I was in a counter rally vs. 50,000 Mexicans a few years
ago here. I know the drill and the rhetoric.
Don't care for illegals but if someone thinks they can cover all of America and spend the next years rounding up 13 million + illegals and shipping back while the liberal media, ACLU and everyother left wing outfit fight
this you have sucked in too much on the bong.
When Ike did the Wetback there was a small fraction.
I know, I remember when Ike was Pres.
You can put up a 30 foot high wall from San Diego to TX,
they will still come here.
there are coming up the coast from Tijuana and landing on the San Diego beaches at 2 - 3AM boats 20+ at a time.
And thank God we don't have any soldiers in Germany or Japan anymore.
Tell that to his earmarks.
also South Korea. It is so safe there now with North Korea and their nucks. But remember Ron Paul said Iran and North Korea are not a threat.
For over 8 years now our soldiers have fought a war while crippled by insane Rules of Engagement, againsst an enemy whose compatriots emigrate to America and are cultured and protected by CAIR. Their numbers have swollen to a dangerous level along with illegal aliens breaking into our country over the Mexican border. On the weekend 3 of our US Consul employees were shot dead at the border by Cartel killers. Pres. Zero was "shocked" and has done nothing.
The illegal invasion was allowed to flourish thanks to Bill Klinton and George Bush, now 0bama.
Approx. 30% of felons in US prisons are illegal aliens.
And when our soldiers do some whacking & get rid of a beast, they have to worry about court-martial! This is obscene.
O no. Do not tell me that you are confused about the purpose of earmarks. Earmarks are not pork barrel spending but rather an accounting practice used to KEEP TRACK OF THE MONEY which is being spent. Are you then saying that we should not keep track of the spending the Congress engages in? The purpose of earmarks is to track how government spends money & just exactly where it goes. Dispensing with this practice is tantamount to saying that we should not know how much government spends & should be kept in the dark.
What good is freeing the mideast only to enslave ourselves to the Chicoms?
You keep believin' that. I'm glad it lets you sleep at night.
First of all, climb down off of that high horse. You've no business whatsoever being up there. You can take the condescending attitude and pound sand with it.
BOTH of you are right. Quit whining about where to begin & START SOMEWHERE, OK?
Nice projection. I believe it is you along with Code Pink, ANSWER, et al that does an awful lot of whining.
There is no point in our discussing this any further because:
a) of your attitude
b)I am a Christian who will never worship any politician and can clearly delineate common sense due to the clarity of vision provided. I don't even understand worshipful cult members and what motivates that sort of thing.
Have a lovely day.
How much knowledge do you have of what the reality is in any of these countries and what our troops and the mission are really doing?
And what is your source?
Just curious.
If we had fought this way in WWII, we would be speaking Deutsch today. As for sources, many sites on the 'net and in reports on FOXnews thru the years, books by researchers of Islam, Col Hunt & others.<><>Col Chessani after about 3 yrs or more of trial was cleared of charges, yet STILL they will not let him go entirely, and he owes lawyers a fortune. They have destroyed the lives of some men who we hardly hear about in the news. And a Muslim is our president. God help us all.
Our soldiers are just that, they are not supposed to be used as social workers in a politically correct war. That is insanity.
I have information about things that take place in these countries and I certainly don't need some anti-war poster to provide it to me.
You're arguing points I haven't even made.
I ask you where you get your information because I don't understand why any anti-war people would even want to be on this site. We support the War on Terror here.
There's this little faction here that stands with Code Pink and A.N.S.W.E.R., demanding that we bring all troops home.
I can't help but wonder where people are getting this desire to see our own country attached (again) and possibly destroyed. These people have got to be following some bizarre leader who promotes this sort of thing and perhaps encourages spamming sites with it.
Hmmmmm....is it David Letterman? Michael Moore? Ron Paul?
Removing a huge wasp's nest from the house has costs - but so does ignoring the wasps until they start stinging in earnest.
Defense is one of the few legitimate functions of the federal government. The cost of defense should be taken straight out of extra-constitutional functions, IMO.
Code Pink & the other loonies do not care about American soldiers killed, they are attention whores who never grew up and are the spawn of the '60s rabble.
And as posters have noted, it is NOT a conservative virtue or value to "spread democracy all over the world".
And there have been attacks here at home, getting worse each time, and officials hastily downplaying any involvement of the "religion of peace".
Then why do you use Code Pink phrases like "pro-war?" I don't know anybody who is "pro-war." People with common sense know that, while a last resort, it is a necessary evil sometimes.
Of course Islam is our enemy and I despise CAIR and all of that PC cr@p.
That doesn't mean that I think we should just bring all of our troops home and wait to be attacked (again) on our own soil.
We have severely weakened al Qaeda and we did that in a place of our choosing. Now that we have a Communist in the White House, it's hard to say what will happen, but bringing all of our troops home is just insane.
And pretty much all of the troops I know agree.
And as posters have noted...
That doesn't fly as any kind of support with me. Not on a thread that is infested with Libertarians.
Meanwhile, we will be attacked by smaller incidents, Ft Hood for example, and the ongoing defiance and hostility of CAIR--resulting in death by 1000 cuts. And there will have to be a withdrawal at some point, and long years of trials for the terrorists captured/imprisoned, costing millions more; will Congress be arguing over allocating less money for trials--or less money spent on veterans needs stemming from this WOT? That would be obscene.
I'm not a Libertarian. But I agree with the "infestors" on this thread.
Of course you do. Jack Duncan, the subject of this thread who says "war is not conservative" is no conservative himself.
He's one of Ron Paul's acolytes. The Paul faction is not conservative. They are more aligned with the Democrats. Their cult members march with Code Pink and ANSWER. You will rarely, if ever, hear a Paul acolyte say anything negative about a Democrat, but they'll trash any and all Republicans all day long.
They run on the Republican ticket because they want to divide and conquer. They try to infiltrate the party with their bizarre agenda.
Thank goodness we were able to thwart Debra Medina's attempt to infiltrate. That woman wouldn't even concede; she wanted to force a runoff and cost the state of Texas more money. With these people, it is all about THEM, not about the country.
Those people, including Rep. Duncan, are not on our side. (By "our," I mean the majority of FReepers.) They'll support Obama over any Republican, unless it is one of their own.
If you want to reduce the influence of groups like CAIR and have a government that deals with these terrorists properly, then vote for true conservative candidates, not these DeceptiCons.
Trying to make other peoples and countries over in our image (spreading democracy)is not conservative. The Leftists screamed "No blood for oil!" at the Gulf War, Bush One sent troops to rescue Kuwait (OIL-rich country) whose "royal" leaders fled to Eygpt or Paris --but if we were not tied to OPEC we would not have interfered & driven off Saddam. (Don't call lme Kerry now LOL I was for that war before I wass against it!) OPEC is something we should have stayed away from many years ago. A conservative government uses its own resources; we had, and have, oil here but let the greenies run things and shut down drilling our own. If Bush II had persisted in ANWR, we could be using that fuel today.

1991 Cadillac DeVille Touring 4dr Sedan
I grew up watching my grand dad drive it around, and loved it then. Eventually, he was no longer able to drive, and I've had it since. It's been amazing, the luxury of this vehicle even after 15 years is amazing. If you have one, take care of it, because not a day goes by it doesn't take care of me.
This is a great vehicle overall. The Touring Sedan model was an attempt by GM to compete against the German sedans. In my opinion they did a great job with this car that excels in comfort and amenities, and displays some features not readily available in american cars until many years later, such as folding exterior mirrors, 16 inch wheels and speed-adjustable suspension. The ride is delicious without the suspension being as soft as other large sedans.
Exterior folding mirrors, honey walnut color interior, factory tinted windows, power recliners, less chrome and more body color trim, self diagnostics computer. Also, despite being 15 years old, this car has the best front lights of all cars I've had.
Better holding front seats, better ergonomics (buttons for AC are difficult to access, "cruise control on" light almost out of sight). A few of my other suggested improvements were made in years 1992 and 1993, like traction control, abs and rear disc brakes.
I have always had new cars. This is
the first used car that I have ever
owned. I love the comfort and power it
still has. The leather seats and all
of the power options still work like
Passing power on the highway and the
soft feel of the road.
runs great, looks great
clean, highway milage
Although I have only had this
particular vehicle for only a few
months, I have owned numerous new and
used vehicles over the years and this
particulare automobile has become an
instant hit for me. I am a Caddy man
for the long haul. The supreme ride
and comfort can't be touched by
anything in it's era. A Caddy is a
true automobile in a class of it' own.
This vehicle has a tremendous amount of
torque that reaches passing speeds
without question.
The only improvement the Deville needs
is a stronger rear end.

I have had excellent service here for four years, thanks to entire team.
Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth. The entire implant process is performed over the course of a few months. The first part of the process is to install the implant itself, where a screw is placed into the jaw bone. An incision is made in the gum so that the implant can be inserted. Multiple implants can be placed at once if necessary. After the implants are placed the gums are sutured. The implant must be allowed about 3-6 months to heal, and during this time the jaw bone will form around the implant in a process called osseointegration. During this healing time you can have temporary crowns installed so that you can eat and speak normally and maintain a proper aesthetic appearance for your smile. After the implant has healed it is time to place an abutment on the implant. The abutment serves as the base for your new tooth. One this is placed an impression of the abutment is taken and is used to create your permanent restoration. Your smile can look just like it used to, and after a short period of getting used to the implant it will feel just like one of your own teeth.
