2 Decimal Places Or Not 2 Decimal Places.
Is it possible to format a column of numbers to 2 decimal places but if the decimal places are 0's then to only show a whole number.
so 2.22 shows as 2.22
but 2.00 shows as 2
I don't necessarily want the solution just a nudge in the right direction.
Decimal Places
I have a sheet of inputs for users. The idea is that they should input to a specific number of decimal places. I was wondering if I can set up something that restricts them to only enter, say for e.g. 2 d.p. I was thinking along the lines of a simple if function - but didnt know how to set it up.
Does anyone have the best solution to this problem?

Decimal Places!
Ok, this is really, really annoying me.
I have an assignment which I have completed (I am not asking you to write it for me! I HAVE done it), which is a currency converter.
It uses two combo boxes, and converts one currency to the next, and posts the results in a text box. However, the results are strange - If I have one Aus dollar, and I convert it to Euros, the conversion rate is something like 0.56, and I have said for it to be multiplied by that much.. However, the number it returns is something along the lines of "0.56000007565" or some such number... I have tried everything to set it to two decimal places - Using the properties menu and such like... Nothing works! It is really frustrating me..
Thank you for your help.

I ran into this problem one other time but can not remember what I did to fix it. Its a simply thing.
I have an app that divides one number by another, for example 13/150. The correct answer should be .08667. For some reason the app returns the value 8.6666666E-2 or something similar. How can I get the correct value returned. I only need 2 decimal places.

Problem With Decimal Places
Hi there,
I am converting time into decimal such as 60 seconds = 1. 30 seconds = 0.5 etc.
My code is as follows:
Dim dec As Single
Dim dec1 As Single
dec = Format(ComboBox1.Value / 60, "###0.00")
dec1 = Format(ComboBox2.Value / 60, "###0.00")
Where comboBox1 and 2 hold the following 0,10,20,30,40,50,60.
However, when these figures go into excel they are formatted to 2.d.p but the actual number is not formatted.
such as if comboBox1 = 10 then the answer is 0.17. However, in the tool bar the answer is actually 0.170000001788139?
How do I round these to 2 decimall places?
Maths And Decimal Places
I am puzzled by this.
My data consists of numbers that increment or decrement by 0.05 precisely. I perform a very basic addition of these numbers. You would think the result would be a number that is a multiple of 0.05 and only 2 decimal places. There is NO problem when the numbers increment by 0.25.
Why do I get a result like 2.649948 for profitbuy??
here is some of my code:
tradebuyprofit(x) = tradeclose(x) - buystop(x)
sellimit(x) = tradeclose(x)
sellimitime(x) = closetime(x)
c = c + 1 'trade counts
profitbuy = profitbuy + tradebuyprofit(x) 'profit
profitsell = profitsell + tradesellprofit(x)
c = c + 1 'trade counts
profitbuy = profitbuy + tradebuyprofit(x) 'profit
profitsell = profitsell + tradesellprofit(x)
Form1.Print "Number of Trades="; c, profitsell, profitbuy
Form1.Print "Trades="; c, "Profit/Loss="; profitsell + profitbuy, "Average="; Round(((profitsell + profitbuy) / c), 2)

Wandering Decimal Places...
Greetings, all. I have an interesting issue. I have a very complex piece of code that I can't post, but here's the problem:
dim UDSdata as integer
UDSdata = form1.rs("UDS").value
select case UDSdata
case UDSdata = 2.222
case UDSdata = 2.322
blah, blah, blah
case UDSdata = 13.256
end select
the problem is that as soon as I set the "UDSdata" variable to the value of the contents in my rs, all the decimals are truncated, and it becomes a whole number. I'm not even USING trim in this program. Any ideas where they are going?
Thx in advance!

It was never more apparent to professor Michael Jackson that he was far, far from Temple than when a lioness decided to cuddle up at the wheel of one of his group's safari Jeeps, or when he found him self playing nursemaid to a couple of rhinos.
The director of graduate programs for sport and recreation administration in Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Jackson's yen for adventure landed him the chance to host a group of 18 people from around the United States in Africa for a 12-day trip in September.
The trip, with stops in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, was aimed at finding ways to increase tourism in the region while conserving area resources.
Jackson led the trip on behalf of both the Philadelphia and the San Diego zoos and World Travel Vignettes. For the experience, he says, "Asante sana": in Swahili, "thank you very much."
Through encounters with thousands of wildebeests, a walk through the Serengeti Desert, and even a trip to Ngorongoro (an ancient Tanzanian crater carved out from a volcano that now serves as a 130-mile-long wildlife preserve), the trip featured enough adventure for a lifetime.
Fortunately, that lioness resting in the group's Jeep only wanted a shady spot for a quick nap. About two hours later, Jackson and the group were on their way again.
"Everything in Africa will eat you," said Jackson. "As long as you're in the vehicle, you're safe. Once you step out of the vehicle, you're in the food chain."
The group also visited Kenya's Maasai tribe, where they stayed in modified tents for several days while learning the culture and studying ways to improve their co-habitation with the environment. Jackson said the Maasais' village sits at the edge of the jungle, and while they welcome tourists to visit, they are vulnerable to the development around them.
"But they know about the outside world," Jackson said. "And it's sad because we're imposing many of our values on them. What people must understand is that as we are imposing, we're taking away their habitat."
Jackson holds a strong interest in "CERTS" — Conservation (both human and animal), Education, Recreation, Tourism and Sports — and how the areas can "work in harmony to create more opportunities and a worthwhile quality of life for Africa," he said.
Jackson now hopes to develop a program where Temple and its students can become active participants in the future CERTS of East Africa," where he hopes to develop educational relationships with some of the region's universities.
Jackson also is exploring the possibility of starting a program that would send elite U.S. runners to Ethiopia and Kenya. There, they could train with both nations' top runners in a safari by foot rather than vehicle. If this idea pans out, it could be an economic boost to a struggling region that is growing in its interest for sports and recreation.
"It's both a training excursion and one for culture," said Jackson of the idea. "And eventually, it could build not only comradeship, but also the quality of our runners."
For those looking for their own close encounter, Jackson suggests visiting East Africa in the late summer, right around the time of the Great Migration.
This, he enthused, is when one could watch and experience the drama of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River in search of grasslands while trying to avoid numerous predators seeking dinner.

A local grand jury has added and upgraded felony charges against a 26 year old Fairbanks man accused of assaulting the two young children of his girlfriend, one of them a 10 month old boy,
who remains in an Anchorage hospital.
As part of an 11-count indictment, Jessie Barron-Katairoak, Junior is now charged with three counts of First Degree Assault, three counts of Felony Assault in the Second Degree, Violating
Conditions of Release, Unlawful Contact, and other alleged crimes.
According to court records, the grand jury added more serious charges to Katairoak's indictment saying the alleged conduct detailed "extreme indifference."
Katairoak remains housed at the Fairbanks Correctional facility on a no bail status, and is scheduled to enter pleas in the case Tuesday afternoon in Fairbanks Superior Court.
According to court records, police and emergency services personnel responded to a reported domestic dispute at the Ranch Motel on South Cushman Street around 8:45 am
May 31.
Officers noted severe injuries to the unidentified woman when they arrived.
She told officers after she had grabbed her two year old daughter, and ran to call police, she returned to the room and saw Katairoak "punching something on the floor."
Further investigation revealed the 10 month old boy was in the area Katairoak had been punching.
Court records say the baby sustained various injuries to his head, chest and abdomen from being punched repeatedly.
He's being treated at Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage.

C4L's New Cloud Services Give Partners Opportunity to Offer Cloud without Limits
Two New Cloud Services Enable Partners to Maximise on Infrastructure Opportunities in the Cloud
Data centre and connectivity services provider C4L today announced two new cloud services designed to give resellers the opportunity to provide customers with the exact IT infrastructure they need under a price plan that suits them. Using C4L's Infiniserv cloud services C4L's partners can now deliver virtual infrastructures ranging from single private servers to a whole data centre's worth of machines, together with pricing plans ranging from per-minute to annual billing and in-house management of resources. This grants resellers the ability to be flexible, expanding their customer base by providing the precise services customers need: from a single website server to an entire IT infrastructure. C4L's cloud services can be backed up with total transparency, strict security policies, guaranteed CPU capacity and 100% guaranteed dedicated leased line connectivity so that customers can be fully assured the services resellers provide are reliable.
"Early concerns around the cloud look set to become distant memories, with many studies showing 2012 is the year the technology starts to become the great equaliser of the 21st century. The channel should be looking to maximise on this by offering customers of all sizes access to IT resources while helping them lower CAPEX and OPEX costs and generating recurring revenue streams for themselves," said Pete Hill, Virtualisation Business Development Manager at C4L. "Our Infiniserv offering is packaged in a way that is easy to understand and its pricing is transparent for customers, allowing partners to benefit from clear margins. C4L's cloud services also provide the flexibility resellers need to offer businesses to truly take advantage of the cloud, together with the quality of service that our customers know and trust us for."
Alongside an established VMware vCloud offering, C4L's expanded cloud portfolio offers partners two additional solutions based on its Infiniserv product line. These will help IT systems integrators migrate their customers to the cloud with greater control and flexibility:
Virtual Private Server (VPS) - An entry-level physical server replacement service, VPS grants resellers the ability to provide customers with a private server connected to C4L's own high-speed fibre network. This offering is perfect for resellers with customers that only need a single server, for example to host a website, as it provides sufficient capacity, reliability and connection.
Virtual Data Centre (VDC) - VDC is an infrastructure replacement service, capable of replacing an organisation's entire IT estate. The service is instantly expandable and can be accessed from any location. The channel can offer this to customers looking to take advantage of the cost savings cloud computing can provide: for example, by providing an expandable, easy-to-manage infrastructure that can be used by multiple branches of a single organisation.
C4L cloud services can be provided with per-minute, monthly or annual billing with discounts of up to 25% offered for long-term commitments. New customers are also being offered further discounts in the form of free data transfers for the first three months after signing-up as part of C4L's cloud services launch strategy. IT systems integrators can also offer customers comprehensive migration support if needed, to ensure that customers' IT infrastructure is replicated and running as desired.
C4L's cloud services offer partners the tools to provide guaranteed security, transparency and connectivity. Furthermore, the cloud services' infrastructure uses dedicated leased lines connected to C4L's own fibre network, meaning that resellers can deliver a 100% Service Level Agreement as well as the fastest possible connection speeds. By housing infrastructure in C4L's own data centres, resellers will have the ability to provide a consistent level of physical security designed to meet the demands of the strictest IT departments. C4L cloud services are also completely transparent about data location, meaning that resellers can provide complete confidence to customers on exactly where their virtual servers are located.
"The simplicity, flexibility and ease of access to cloud computing means that users will feel more secure than ever with access to the tools they need," continued Pete Hill. "Our offering gives the channel what it needs to help customers reduce costs while profiting themselves with a recurring revenue stream. Our services are an excellent first step for resellers looking to take advantage of this brave new world."
C4L's vCloud and Infiniserv services are available immediately. For more information, visit www.infiniserv.com

Breathalyzer Device Tells When You're Burning Fat
Hiyama could not say what the device might cost or how soon it could be on the market.
"I think it's an interesting device," said Larry Birnbaum, a professor and chair of exercise physiology at the College of St. Scholastica, in Duluth, Minn., who reviewed the findings and has researched fat burning. He pointed out some limitations, including the small study size of 17 people.
One strength of the study, he said, is that the device results were compared with those of a "gold standard" test. "They did compare their device with gas chromatography and reported a strong correlation," he noted.
"That is good," Birnbaum explained. But he added that validity would be enhanced if independent researchers repeated that comparison. The device also needs to be tested on a larger number of people with varying levels of acetone in their blood and breath, he said.
In the future, Birnbaum said, if the device research bears out, it could provide people an additional piece of information. "It might help people stick with a diet; it might help them modify their diet."

Topic - Skinny ropes and belay plates
Robert Durran - on 25 Nov 2012
Are belay plates (or at least their use) keeping up with the use of ever skinnier ropes?
I suspect not. One or two things recently have made me question whether people are using belay plates with which it is too difficult to hold a fall (and specifically in winter in gloves or mitts and shiny everdry ropes). If it takes any real effort hold an abseil locked off, then I would say the belay plate is not suited to belaying with the same ropes. I suspect a lot of people use the same plate whether with a single or double ropes - if I can fit a single rope through a belay plate then I would not use it with half ropes (whatever the manufacturer says). I evn sometimes respectfully ask a belayer to use my skinny belay plate if I'm unhappy with theirs.

VALPARAISO | Valparaiso University graduate student Wissam Shahin, a Fulbright Scholar from Syria, is working as a summer intern with the Regional Bureau for Arab States, part of the United Nations Development Programme.
Shahin assists the UNDP's resources management adviser and will work with the Bureau Directorate in New York City through August.
A student in Valparaiso University's international economics and finance graduate program, Shahin will put his classroom learning to work analyzing balance sheets and macroeconomic indicators, presenting forecasts for development and management projects, and researching and providing information for best practices in the area of shared services and audit.
"What really motivates me to pursue a career in this field is that I am from a region that has plenty of economic advantages, but there is still a high percentage of poverty, unemployment and other social and economic problems," Shahin said in a written statement. "I am planning to occupy a position where I can help to decrease the economic and social suffering of people in this region and in the world."
Previously, Shahin worked with the United Nations in Syria before his time at VU pursuing graduate studies.
"It has been a great experience dealing with such a professional, multinational staff at the UNDP," Shahin said. "Also, it has been interesting to see how UNDP Headquarters works very closely with the economic and political leaderships of developing countries."

Does the Punishment Fit the Crime?
We asked Robin Sax, a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, if Brown was treated differently because of his celebrity status. "Of course he was," said Sax. "Anyone who says that they're going to treat a celeb like any other client is kidding themselves." What really makes Brown's punishment seem inconsistent with the seriousness of his crime, explains Sax, are the shocking pictures of Rihanna, her face bruised and beaten, which gave even the casual observer "a sense of what the actual crime was."
Ultimately, Sax believes Brown has been forthright in taking responsibility for his crime. "He pleaded to a felony; he's had public humiliation. Yes, he got little better than what he would've gotten if the case had gone to trial -- but that's the nature of a plea deal."
That deal, some believe, is sending the wrong message about domestic violence -- that it's something to take lightly. Sax disagrees. She says, "The most important message will come from Rihanna herself if she takes Brown back."
|Robin Sax is a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney who specialized in prosecuting sex crimes against children. She is the author of six books including "Predators and Child Molesters: What Every Parent Needs to Know To Keep Kids Safe." Robin is a regular legal commentator on Larry King Live, Nancy Grace, Fox News and has a weekly radio show, "Justice Interrupted." Robin lives with her husband and three children in Los Angeles, California.
This case was an absolutely despicable travesty of justice. And, of COURSE, it shows domestic violence is taken lightly. How could you POSSIBLY believe otherwise? You weren't on the jury, were you? This ape should be in prison, so one of his 'room-mates' can do to his face what he did to Rihanna's. That is the only language that guys like this understand. Bullies bully until they're bullied back. Sounds over-simplified, but it's true. They have a total and complete void when it comes to another's feelings. They believe the world revolves around them, and whatever they do, will be excused. This case did everything to validate that belief. I guess OJ convinced people of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Belgian confident new signing will become a fans' favourite.
Kevin Mirallas believes Arouna Kone's goalscoring capabilities will ensure the Ivory Coast striker becomes a Goodison Park favourite this season.
The Belgian international, along with the former Wigan Athletic man, attended a signing session at Everton Two last Wednesday as the Club officially launched the new home kit for 2013/14.
Hundreds of Blues fans visited the city centre store to meet the duo who posed for photographs and sent the autograph-hunting supporters home happy.
Having proved popular off the field, Mirallas is convinced his new teammate can be just as successful on the pitch too.
"I think first and foremost, he [Kone] is a great guy," Mirallas told evertontv. "He seems a nice guy and he's settled in well with the squad.
"He's going to bring an awful lot to the team. We have a lot of attackers already, so when you add his presence to the attacking force we had last season, I think it's going to be very positive."
Mirallas and his teammates jetted out to San Francisco on Sunday to begin their pre-season tour of the United States.
The Blues are aiming to return from America with the International Champions Cup trophy in their grasp – but Mirallas insists the primary purpose for the trip is preparation for the new Premier League season.
"The three games we have coming up in the States are going to be quite special occasions, they are big games," explained the former Olympiacos winger.
"It's a funny one - do you go for three victories and then start off in the league with a defeat?
"Obviously you'd prefer it the other way round where you start with a victory in the league.
"The main thing is that everyone stays fit for the start of the season and are raring to go."
All three matches in the USA can be watched LIVE on evertontv. Click here for more information on how not to miss a kick of the Blues' Stateside adventure.

Moderat are Modeselektor and Apparat. Moderat's formation began back in 2002 in Berlin, Germany when Sascha Ring (aka Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (aka Modeselektor) recorded an EP for the record label Bpitch Control ("Auf Kosten der Gesundheit"). When it came time to begin working on an album, Moderat suddenly broke up. Meanwhile Modeselektor set a milestone in German music history with their sophomore album, Happy Birthday!, including musicians such as Puppetmastaz, Maximo Park and Thom Yorke.

Is Barack Obama too smart to be President of the United States? Are Americans afraid to elect a leader who might actually know what he (or she) is doing?
George W. Bush certainly doesn't qualify for membership in Mensa. His predecessor, a native-born Southern governor from a red neck state, had a beer belly, a fondness for beer and Big Macs and put chasing White House interns ahead of others affairs of state.
Maybe Obama can better win the hearts and minds of America's mindless if he deep sixes the coat and tie, dumps the stump speech about real issues, and starts tossing back boilermakers and chasing women.
In other words, give Americans what they want: Fewer real ideas and more shuck and jive.
Yes, maybe it has come to this.
Notes Roger Simon in The Politico:
Having had the national media at his feet for more than a year, Barack Obama now finds them at his throat.
The fault is his. He has disappointed us. He is not winning every voting bloc in every state. He cannot close the deal.
Running against an older, white candidate, Obama has been losing the older, white vote.
Zounds. What did we ever see in this guy?
The Bubba voters, the NASCAR voters and the Joe Six-Pack voters don't seem to like him. (This is according to exit polls, whose accuracy is an open question but whose results are the crack of media analysis.)
Pennsylvania proved to be the turning point. Even though it had been clear since the earliest polls that Obama would lose Pennsylvania, the press was shocked by Obama's loss of Pennsylvania.
The significance of this loss becomes clear when you see it as part of a larger picture: The superdelegates, the party insiders who will decide the nomination, are watching events very, very closely. And what do they see?
Obama has now lost the popular vote in Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania. He has been hurt by the irresponsible statements of his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and Obama insulted small-town Americans when he accused them of "clinging" to guns and religion.
But Simon goes on to say:
Hillary Clinton has accused Obama of being "elitist and out of touch." (And Clinton should know: She lived in a governor's mansion for 12 years and in the White House for eight, and you can't get more in touch with real America than that.)
So far, however, there has been no great stampede of superdelegates to Clinton. (Since Super Tuesday, Obama has picked up 87 and she has picked up seven, according to his campaign.) Which just goes to show how out of touch and elitist the superdelegates must be. Or else, how politically savvy they are: They don't find it shocking that Obama can't win every demographic group in every state.
Not that he has to. No Democratic president since Lyndon Johnson has won the white vote. Both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton found that if you win enough of the white vote and an overwhelming percentage of the black vote, you can get to the White House.
Obama has modified his stump speech to try and broaden his populist appeal. He wants to show ordinary Americans that he is "one of us."
To which Simon notes:
But what about Obama's bigger problem? Comparisons are already being made between Obama and Adlai Stevenson, who was an intellectual (read: loser). Obama used to teach law at the University of Chicago, one of the brainiest universities in the country.
And Americans don't want presidents who are too brainy. (Obviously.) We would rather plunge into foreign wars or fall off economic cliffs than have presidents who know too much. That is because braininess is elitist, and being an elitist is the worst thing you can be if you want to be president.
What Simon is saying is that Obama may be too smart to be President because too many Americans are too dumb to know what they need in their leaders.
He adds:
Wouldn't it be more refreshing if Obama was saying what he used to say: that it is wrong to "slice and dice" voters into isolated groups and that it would be good for America to emphasize what unites people and not what divides us?
Yes, it would but don't count on that happening and this week's resurfacing of Jeremiah Wright may be starting to work against Obama.
Writes Nedra Pickler of The Associated Press:
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is going after his critics on an incendiary tour that is doing his one-time congregant, Barack Obama, little good.
After weeks of staying out of the public eye while critics lambasted his sermons, Wright made three public appearances in four days to defend himself. The former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago has been combative, providing colorful commentary and feeding the story Obama had hoped was dying down.
"This is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright," Wright told the Washington press corps Monday. "It has nothing to do with Senator Obama. It is an attack on the black church launched by people who know nothing about the African-American religious tradition."
Wright's tour couldn't come at a much worse time for Obama, who is campaigning for white working class voters in Indiana and North Carolina. Many of Wright's most controversial comments are angry condemnations of the United States for its treatments of blacks – thoughts that were applauded by the black church leaders in his audience Monday but risk offending white voters.
An Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Monday suggests the Wright controversy may be hurting Obama among whites. His Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton is doing better than Obama among whites in head-to-head matchups with John McCain. Among white respondents, Clinton gets 43 percent to McCain's 48 percent. Obama gets 38 percent to McCain's 51 percent.
Obama moved Monday to try and stem the fallout from Wright's latest pronouncements but some wonder if the damage is already done:
Writes Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times:
If it was not clear before Monday, Senator Barack Obama said, it should be clear now: His presidential campaign has no control over what the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his former pastor, says or what he does.
"He does not speak for me," Mr. Obama said. "He does not speak for the campaign. He may make statements in the future that don't reflect my values or concerns."
"I think certainly what the last three days indicate is that we're not coordinating with him, right?" Mr. Obama said.
But some wonder is Obama waited too late to stem the tide that is rising against him. Democratic insiders tell Capitol Hill Blue that doubts are growing among superdelegates and Clinton's unrelenting attacks, combined with the Wright issue and other questions, raise increasing doubts about Obama's electability.
"All that matters is beating McCain," says one Democratic strategists. "We'd put the devil on the ticket if he was leading in the polls."
21 Responses to "Is Barack Obama too smart to be President?"
I am convinced that in 1950, Americans were the smartest people in the worlds' history. The combination of a strong and diverse gene pool and good nutrition turned us into the warrior-scholars that could make the world right.
Then someone invented television
I can just see it now–the superdelegates giving their vote to Hillary. So what kind of a convention will it be when Obama's delegates attack Hillary's? Who knows? it could get violent.
But if any Democratic leader believes that Obama's deglegates are going to be nice, they must be on the bong. Everyone knows racism is beind this: that a African America can't be elected President.
Now put the shoe on the other foot. Let's imagine John Edwards behind in the delegate count and the superdelegates decide to give him their votes because they believe a woman, like Hillary, doesn't have a good chance against a white male jock war-hero like McCain. What do you think Hillary's supporter might do?
If people can't see the racism behind the questioning of Obama's electability–they ARE racists.
I agree Hoosier. We did not have television in the mountains and we didn't miss it. In 1964 I chose not to have it as long as we had kids in the home. I bought my first television in 1982. My kids were all out of the house and I got hooked on CSPAN. None of the kids watch much television and all are great producers of their skills.
I filled in to the classes where the kids went to school and it was easy to see which kids did not watch television. Making eye contact was easy. The ones raised on the boob tube required that I walk over to them and touch their arms.
What have we done to the last generations?
MSM : bulletin just in,
Careful, theres a bitter one legged voter behind you with nary an ounce of logic because we say so.
No credit will be given to this assertion other than the air we create.
Ardie I find supporters on both sides appealing to the lowest common denominator.
I took great pleasure telling the DNC what they could do with my donation. I told them as a Hillary supporter I was just real tired of being called a racist.
I question Obama's electability. I don't care if you call me a racist. He sat in a church for 20 years listening to a ranting minister who claimed "the government gave African Americans AIDS" among other evils. This guy also said if Obama was elected, he would come after him too.
Then there is the Farrakhan factor. Obama refers to him as Reverend Farrakhan. Is there anyone who doesn't believe Farrakhan is racist?
Obama never heard Jeremiah Wright make his racist statements. Somehow that just doesn't ring true.
Now who is the racist? It cuts both ways kids.
I hate to be too picky but I must insist the next President have an IQ above room temperature and speak English as a first language.
American Couch Potatoes
American voters have gotten really complacent over the last 20 years; they wouldn't know a good presidential candidate if one bit them on the face! Obama seems to be a stand-up guy, however, he is up against the equivalent of the Wicked Witch of The Midwest, all Billary is missing is the pointed hat and bubbling cauldron. IMHO, given the choice, my money is on Obama.
SAME OLD:We are going to end up with the same old. Yes the old, and by old I do not always mean age, but one cannot help looking at McCain and say, what the heck? With that said the media wants McCain vs Clinton for so many reasons. They are going after Obama by way of Wright. And Wright is going along. He has his own agenda? What's with this guy? The Clinton's were going to find something on Obama. They are old timers. I have no idea if the SD will overturn the will of the people and APPOINT Clinton as they can, but will they? Never been done before. I am from the 60's hold two degrees in American History and for the life of me trying to make sense of this. I can only speak for myself. I am willing to give Obama the job as president. I do not want more of the same and Clinton and McCain are the same, repeat, more of the same! Leave those two in the 20th century and move on. But I fear we will get what we deserve more of the same. People feel safe with the old, but this kind of person comes but once in a lifetime. We allow people to destroy him and the same things will continue. No one is perfect and cannot please everyone at the same time, but if we do not move beyond the old timers we will never know and life will continue with the same old. Let's really think this time. Thank you
This is a very good description of how the American voters look at the candidates. This is what happens when our parties lose their agendas and leave the candidates to sell themselves. It is another reason to keep a firm Separation of Church and State.
We all have seen the African Americans who have run for office trying to act and sound like black Americans. They did poorly for trying to keep their image before the voters. Now we have an American who refuses to run on a Black agenda and is now being touted as an elite.
No matter what Obama does or says, the GOP will label him in a negative way. We know that they have used their dirty tricks this way before. But isn't it time the voters take another look at this brilliant young man for his accomplishments including his teaching Constitutional Law in the University of Chicago?
We are surrounded with nerdy experts piloting our planes, driving our trains and buses. We even somehow require examinations for our real state agents, and stock brokers. Even get rich quick con artists have to show a list of impressive credentials before they con us.
But we can change all that by voting for an only slightly senile senior citizen, with a temper who promises to be Ronald Reagan where the world will fear and respect the US again despite our worthless dollars. And after we do vote for him we can give a quarter to the next bum on the street and ask him how to make a mint. While we all smugly admit that we are smarter than that guy in the White House who admits he doesn't read much, but did a good job reading the "Little Goat" to little kids as the Twin Towers were collapsing.
Longer version see,
Overall it kind of makes one proud to be living in such a racist nation. The rest of the world must surely envy us and our way of life.

What are the issues?
Illegal immigration
Jobs transferred to China and India.
The Occupation of Iraq.
Supposedly there is a plan to merge Canada and Mexico with the United States with a common currecny, the "Amero" So any Mexican will be able to come up North and take any job he wants. This plan is the work of the Council of Foreign Relation. So they aren't going to do anything about illegal immigration because they are just going to make it legal to come up here.
And their not going to bring the factories back until they can get us to work for 50 cents an hour as they do in China.
As for Iraq, they say they are going to get us out but I doubt that. We have built 4 huge bases as well as the "embassy" in the Green Zone and that is the best measure of our intentions, which is to stay in Iraq indefinitely or until we have sucked their oilfields dry. And by the time the election rolls around, we may have attacked Iran and that will change everything. They will institute a draft sooner or later. They are calling up 12,000 troops in the IRR, including those who have been injured. At some point they will run out of troops they can call up. I hear they are recruiting in Africa these days and they are letting gang members as well.
You could add a great many more things, but the three issues I've commented on are the biggies as I see them. And they cannot really do much about them, can they?
So who wants to tell America "Yeah, thats right. We are going to let all the Mexicans up here that want to come. Those jobs in China and India aren't coming back, and you get to compete with the Mexicans for what is left, but don't worry about that because we are going to draft you anyway and you will have three hots (MREs) and a cot in Iraq and you'll keep going back until you have no more stumps left to attache prosthetics to."
Maybe McCain will…….
I give you a 10 on Cynicism Notorious!
Good points and an excellent post!
Maybe McCain will what?
Maybe McCain will base his campaign on the points I outlined. Straight talk, right?
But I think that a campaign strategist might disapprove of "THE MESSAGE" as being:
Dear Joe Sixpack,
You are screwed. Get over it. Embrace it. Get used to it. Suck it up and don't forget to vote Republican otherwise those liberals will let the Muslim hordes take away your right to work two minimum wage jobs right alongside the illegal immigrants. If you don't like civilian servitude, well we need you in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan or whatever "stan" needs democracy this week. And remember that $600 buck tax break. Whose your Daddy?
The Republicans
Got it? But don't get the impression that I think the Democrats are going to be any better. But they are smart enought to know that "Bend over and spread them wide" is not a viable campaign slogan.
Hopefully, he fades away like old soldiers are supposed to.
Bill Clinton may have appealed to the Bubba voters, but he was also a Rhodes Scholar who studied at Oxford and is a brilliant man. To equate him with George Dumbya Bush, a C student with no curiosity, and who got into Harvard and Yale only because of his father, is just insane. Clinton has written books. Bush doesn't even read them (except for My Pet Goat on 9/11). Don't expect a memoir after Bush leaves office.
If you watch (as I often do live on cnn.com) Obama on the stump doing his town hall meetings and rallies, he is extremely appealing to the working class, jokes a lot and is very casual and down-to-earth. He also gets very serious and specific about what he will do.
Sometimes I wonder if the people calling him elitist really mean "Uppity negro". Despicable.
You want elitist? Why doesn't someone just tell the (mostly) White-American public what they REALLY are: a bunch of ignorant, arrogant, stupid, spoiled, racist, fundamentalist zeros who are nothing but a consumption-crazed burden on the world. There ya' go. THAT's elitist. It's also the truth.
That pretty much nails the issue down. Nice summation.

text: The Houston Dutch Lions FC is an American soccer club based in The Woodlands, Texas and is made up of its Youth Academy, USL PDL team, HFA and Super 20 teams. The Youth Academy of the club began training in 2011 with only one location in Conroe, Texas. In 2012, the Youth Academy expanded to its second training location to service players in The Woodlands. The Dutch Lions FC is supported by the Dutch Eredivisie side FC Twente and has clubs in Dayton, Ohio and in the Houston area. It was originally founded by Mike Mossel of Business and Sports Performance and Erik Tammer of Tammer Sports Management. Erik Tammer is a former professional soccer player in the Netherlands who played for clubs such as Heerenveen and Sparta Rotterdam. Mike Mossel played in Europe for RBC Roosendaal and Turnhout. He also played in the United States for the Cincinnati Riverhawks of the USL following his graduation from Xavier University. USL PDL 2012 season In the summer of 2012 the club's PDL and Super 20 teams had their inaugural season in the MidSouth Division of the USL Premier Development League. The USL PDL makes up the fourth tier of the American soccer pyramid. All home games for the PDL side were played at Woodforest Bank Stadium in Shenandoah, Texas. For the 2012 PDL season the club appointed Robert Maaskant to manage the team. Maaskant was former professional soccer player and coach in Europe. In 2011 Maaskant's club, Wisla Krakow, won the Polish Championship and in doing so qualified for the famous UEFA Champions League. After this successful run at Wisla Krakow, he signed on with the Houston Dutch Lions as a manager and advisor. In its premier season, Maaskant led the Houston Dutch Lions to a fourth place finish (5-9-2). Following the conclusion of the season he was offered, and agreed to, a one year contract with Eredivisie side FC Groningen. The 2012 USL PDL squad had several players with experience playing in some of the highest levels of European soccer. Forward Joonas Kolkka and left back Sjaak Polak were two of these players and they made an immediate impact on their new team. A former Finnish International player, Kolkka (98 caps/11 goals) started his career with Reipas Lahti and MyPa in Finland's Veikkausliiga. He won the Finnish Cup with MyPa in 1995 before joining Netherlands' Willem II that same year. In 1998 Kolkka joined Dutch club PSV Eindhoven where he won two league championships and was able to play in the UEFA Champions League. Kolkka then moved to Greek side Panathinaikos in 2001 where he spent two seasons. After leaving Greece, Kolkka played a season each for Borussia Mönchengladbach of the German Bundesliga and Crystal Palace of the English Premiership. While with Crystal Palace he scored goal at both Anfield and Old Trafford during his stay at the club. He was later released by Palace, and returned to the Netherlands in 2005 when he signed a one-year deal with ADO Den Haag. After an impressive season with ADO, he was signed by Dutch side Feyenoord and spent one season with the club. From 2007-2011 Kollka played for NAC Breda and scored 8 goals in 113 appearances. In 2011 he was signed by his former club, Willem II and was employed as a player and sales manager for the club. In May of 2012 Kollka agreed to a contract to play for the Houston Dutch Lions during their 2012 season. While in Texas he had one goal in fifteen games. Sjaak Polak, who has appeared in over 400 games in Dutch soccer, was an outspoken wingback and freekick specialist. Polak previously played for several Eredivisie clubs including Excelsior, Sparta Rotterdam, FC Twente, and ADO Den Haag. Following his time in the Netherlands, Sjaak had several trials including time in Austria with Austria Vienna and with Swiss club St. Gallen. He ended up in Israel, signing with Maccabi Tel Aviv. USL PDL 2013 season For the 2013 season the club appointed former professional soccer player and coach Hans van Arum. As a player van Arum played 333 games and scored 90 goals for Dutch Eredivisie teams Vitesse Arnhem, RKC Waalwijk, Go Ahead Eagles and Willem II. As a Head Coach, van Arum won Coach of the Year at 3rd level team Sparta Nijkerk. He is also a former coach of Eredivisie club Vitesse Arnhem and 2nd level side of AGOVV Apeldoorn. For a second season all home games were played at Woodforest Bank Stadium. The team finished 5th in the Mid South division and showed an amazing amount of growth both on and off the field in its second year. Perhaps the biggest accomplishments for the club took place in the second half of 2013. In September the club proudly unveiled the first phase of its new soccer complex. Located in Conroe, TX the facility opened with two of the finest fields in the Houston areas. Both regulation size fields are fully lit and feature the highest quality soccer specific turf produced by Dutch company Edel Grass. In the coming months the team club house and offices will be constructed as well. Also in 2013 the club joined the inaugural season of the Texas Premier Soccer League. The Lions finished the first half of the season undefeated and also were the champions of the first Admiral Texas Cup, defeating Houston Hurricanes FC in penalty kicks in one of the most exciting games fans had seen.

Your Achilles tendon is a fibrous band of tissue that links the muscles in your calf to your heel. Its strength and flexibility are important for jumping, running, and walking. Your Achilles tendon withstands a lot of stress and pressure during everyday activities, as well as during athletic and recreational play.
Occasionally, your health care provider will misdiagnose your tendon injury as a sprained ankle. It is important to get the right diagnosis so you can get the right treatment. Several common injuries can make your Achilles tendon painful or prevent it from working well.
Your Achilles tendon can become inflamed — swollen and irritated. This may happen because of overuse or damage to the area. Tendinitis can cause pain down the back of your leg and around your heel. You might notice that parts of your tendon are getting thicker, and hardening, because of tendinitis. This is a degenerative condition, which means it will get worse if you don't treat it.
Noninsertional Achilles tendinitis. Small tears in the middle fibers of your tendon start to break it down. This causes pain and swelling. This type of tendinitis usually affects active, younger adults
Insertional Achilles tendinitis. This occurs in the spot where your tendon meets your heel bone, if the fibers in your tendon tear. Bone spurs also can grow out of the heel bone tissue, causing pain
It is possible for the tears in your tendon fibers to break your tendon completely or partially. You might hear a "pop" that seems to come from the back of your heel or calf. A rupture needs immediate medical attention.
Symptoms of tendon injuries include:
Thickening of your tendon
Pain down the back of your leg or near your heel
Pain that gets worse when you're active
A stiff, sore Achilles tendon when you first get up
Pain in the tendon the day after a workout
Swelling with pain that gets worse as you're active during the day
Bone spurs on the heel bone
Difficulty flexing the affected foot
A "pop" sound accompanied by sudden sharp pain, which suggests a ruptured tendon
Anyone can develop tendinitis. The most common risk factors are:
Increased activity or a new sport
Tight calves, which can place more stress on your tendon
Bone spurs on your heel, which can aggravate your tendon
The wrong shoes or on uneven surface when you exercise
Treatment with fluoroquinolone, an antibiotic medication
To diagnose your condition, your physician will consider:
Your overall health and medical history
A description of your symptoms
A physical examination of your Achilles tendon. This checks for bone spurs, pain, and swelling
A test of your ankle's range of motion
Imaging tests, such as X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Your doctor will use MRI most often to determine the extent of your tendon damage.
Treatment depends on how badly injured your tendon is. It may include:
Low-impact exercise alternatives, such as swimming
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief
Specific exercises to strengthen your calf muscles
Physical therapy
Eccentric strength training. This is a system of exercises that help strengthen your calf muscles to take pressure off your tendon
Cortisone injections
Heel lifts in shoes
A walking boot
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy. This is a controversial treatment your doctor may recommend to see whether you can improve without surgery
Surgery to lengthen your calf muscles
Debridement surgery to remove damaged tendon tissue or bone spurs
Surgery to remove your damaged tendon tissue. The type of surgery depends on the amount of damage to your tissue and other factors, such as the severity of the tendinitis.
Complications of an Achilles tendon injury may include:
Pain, which can be severe
Difficulty walking or being active
Deformation of your tendon area or heel bone
Need for surgery
Tendon rupture from the injury. Occasionally, cortisone injections also can cause your tendon to tear.
You can prevent injury to your Achilles tendon by:
Increasing activity gradually, rather than all at once
Wearing the correct shoes for your activities
Not exercising on uneven surfaces
Being aware of the risks of fluoroquinolone and exercising with caution if you're taking this drug
Call your doctor immediately if you experience a "pop" sound and acute pain from the back of your leg or heel. Otherwise, schedule an appointment if pain or difficulty moving interferes with your regular daily activities.
Follow your doctor's recommendations to get rest and manage pain and swelling. Choose alternative ways to be active. Try low-impact activities that do not place a lot of stress on your tendon, such as swimming or bicycling, rather than a high-impact exercise like running. Always let your doctor know if these strategies don't help reduce pain, swelling, and loss of function.

Natural travertine stone is cut into tiles before being tumbled to soften the surfaces and edges, producing a more rustic appearance. This brickwork mosaic adds an element of contemporary design to any room.
"Chose these tiles for our small downstairs loo. They are quite expensive, but give a nice effect. Very substantial, easy to cut & fit. Grouting is the most difficult job because it is important not to fill the graining on each tile. The job took much longer than I had anticipated due to the number of steps needed to finish the job. They need to be sealed more than once before grouting & afterwards."

|Qualitative stability patterns for Lotka-Volterra systems on rectangles
|Laurent Tournier1Jean-Luc Gouzé1
|We present a qualitative analysis of the Lotka-Volterra differential equation within rectangles that are transverse with respect to the flow. In similar way to existing works on affine systems (and positively invariant rectangles), we consider here nonlinear Lotka-Volterra n-dimensional equation, in rectangles with any kind of tranverse patterns. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of symmetrically transverse rectangles (containing the positive equilibrium), giving notably the method to build such rectangles. We also analyse the stability of the equilibrium thanks to this transverse pattern. We finally propose an analysis of the dynamical behavior inside a rectangle containing the positive equilibrium, based on Lyapunov stability theory. More particularly, we make use of Lyapunov-like functions, built upon vector norms. This work is a first step towards a qualitative abstraction and simulation of Lotka-Volterra systems.
