Best NBA Centers of 2013-2014Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
1Dwight Howard
Much potential, needs improvement in the paint offensively. Dwight can be as good as Dwight wants to be, once he gets out of his own way.
This guy is awesome
2Joakim Noah
You'd be hard pressed to find another Center, or any NBA player for that matter, who plays with as hard and with as much energy as Noah, he's not the strogest, fastest and obviously not an offensive presence, but boy can this guy play Defense and pass the ball for a big man, with Rose back, I see Noah having a career year.
3Tim Duncan
At 38 he still averages a double double and 2.7 blocks unbelievable
He has a lot of mileage, but with it comes experience. Tim picks his spots decisively and is a selfless teammate.
With good time management on the court, Tim is my 1st choice when picking a starting Center.
With good time management on the court, Tim is my 1st choice when picking a starting Center.
At 38 he is still the best center in the league wow
4Marc Gasol
One of the best passers at center
5Al Jefferson
6Brook Lopez
7Al Horford
8Andrew Bynum
Andrew's injuries and mental stability hurt his true value as a legitamate Center in The NBA.
9Tyson Chandler
With Chandler, you will never have an east shot close to the rim because he tries to block everything within reach. He also is becoming a very formidable offensive threat; he can score when you need him.
10Andre Drummond
Andre may not be the best but the way he dunks with the rim its like butter and bread and smores wow he can duck when I first saw him dunk I almost got knocked out and I was outside the T.V. !

The Contenders
11Larry Sanders
A younger Tyson Chandler. A defense force. If the Bucks do better under new ownership and get better offensive players around this guy... Look out! If he could make a few free throws and develop a mid range game he could be just as respected as Noah or Ibaka. He already has energy (sometimes a little too much), defense skills, rebounding and is a top notch shot blocker.
12Chris Bosh
13DeMarcus Cousins
Seriously!? He averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, the man is a presence, not only is he in the top 5, he is in contention for number 1, he's also only 24 years old, incredibly underrated
How is he not in here and brook lopez is. Lopez hardly even played, this list is best centers of 2013-14...
The fact that he's not here is insulting. especially since Brook Lopez can't grab a reboundMore comments about DeMarcus Cousins
14Greg Monroe
15Jonas Valanciunas

Topic - Goretex Pro Jackets
monkeyboy3000 - on 06 Jan 2013
Been looking at getting a Goretex pro shell. Looking at the arctyrx beta / theta AR, the moUntain equipment Kongur and also a Marmot one I forget the name of ( it's running in third place at the moment )
I have read reviews on all, been to the shops and tried them all on read more reviews, I I just can't decide. The MOuntain Equipment is Ł100 cheaper and the only difference I see is the cut / label. The fabrics feel similar, they have a similar pockets. The arcteryx looks and feels a bit better but Ł120 better ??
Also I have read reviews of both jackets (admittedly only one or two for each out of a lot or reviews) that say the pockets gather water. Especially the kongur.
Looking for opinions / experiences of either jacket or any other suggestions or thoughts

The Scarlet Knights are assured of a top-four finish in the Mid-Atlantic Division thanks to West Virginia's 3-0 victory against visiting Notre Dame. The Mountaineers (4-0-1; 13 points) secured the top seed in the division and Villanova (3-1-1; 10 points) has locked up the second spot with each team still having one match to play. Rutgers (10 points) and Georgetown (3-2; nine points) will round out the top four. Notre Dame (3-3; nine points), Seton Hall (1-3-1; four points) and Pittsburgh (0-6) will not qualify for the tournament.
If Georgetown loses at West Virginia Oct. 9, the Scarlet Knights will be the third seed due to the Hoyas finishing the season with nine points. If Georgetown ties WVU, RU still will be the third seed thanks to the Knights' 4-2 victory against the Hoyas Oct. 5. If Georgetown defeats the Mountaineers, the Hoyas will be the third seed and Rutgers will be fourth.
West Virginia owns the tiebreaker with Villanova due to its 1-0 win Sept. 22, so the Mountaineers have wrapped up the top seed despite the outcome of the final two matches. If Villanova loses its final match at Seton Hall Oct. 23 and has 10 points, it will still own the tiebreaker with Rutgers due to the two teams' results against the other teams in the division. If Georgetown loses its final match and both teams have nine points, the Hoyas will own the tiebreaker with Notre Dame due to their 4-3 victory against the Fighting Irish Sept. 29.
This will mark the third consecutive year that the Scarlet Knights will compete in the BIG EAST Tournament. RU lost in the quarterfinals – 4-3 at Boston College last season and 3-1 to Syracuse in 2000. RU also lost in the semifinals of the 1995 and 1996 tournaments, both of which were four-team events.
Following the quarterfinals at campus sites, the semifinals and final will be conducted Nov. 8 and 10 in Storrs, CT.
Qualification for the BIG EAST Tournament has served as a good indication of NCAA Tournament bids in recent years. Last season, seven of the eight teams in the BIG EAST Tournament competed in the NCAA Tournament. The one exception was St. John's, a team which did not have a record of .500 (6-11) and was not eligible. However, Syracuse (12-7), a team which missed out on the conference tournament due to tiebreakers, did receive an NCAA bid.
Rutgers will take on in-state rival No. 18 Princeton Tuesday, Oct. 8, in a rematch of last year's NCAA Tournament second-round match. The contest will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Princeton's Love-Lourie Field.

Doug Crytzer holds the rare distinction of being a professional racer. When a local boy scout troop hired him to organize an adventure race for them, he discovered he loved producing races even more than running them. He founded American Adventure Sports in 1997 to indulge his new passion, while raising awareness of nature's beauty and efforts to preserve it.
Today, AAS, as Doug dubs it, organizes adventure races, triathlons, mountain bike races, and camping trips into American wildernesses across the country. The organization also has a brick and mortar store located in Pennsylvania, where staffers provide athletes with all the gear they need to compete in any of the events or go on an adventure of their own making.
The Dirty Dash isn't the kind of race where runners try to set a new record. There are no ribbons or trophies for the first runner across the finish line either. That's because the real fun of this race isn't in winning, it's in the actual running itself. And watching groups of costumed adults play in the mud, of course.
Part light-hearted race, part military-style obstacle course, The Dirty Dash challenges runners with a course strewn with muddy obstacles with a focus on fun. In order to reach the finish, runners will have to hop over hay bales in mud pits, navigate rows and rows of tires set in wet soil, and even launch themselves down a foamy, 175-foot slip-n-slide. Besides the ultimate reward?the opportunity to spend a day in the mud?each participant also gets a t-shirt, pig tattoo, bandana, and pig decal, as well as a perfect excuse to visit their favorite dry cleaner.
Project Mud might remind adults of the fun they had as a child—running in an open field, sliding into a muddy pond, and crawling through a mud-filled tunnel. The Project Mud 5K challenges individual competitors to drudge their way through 18 mud-covered obstacles in a bid to make their way to the finish line. Those who cross the checkered line celebrate with fellow racers and spectators alike during a lively after party, where live bands and DJs inspire crowds to dance while food vendors serve fresh dishes and cold beer. Proceeds from each event help fund charities in each city, ensuring money collected goes to a good cause instead of serving as fodder for thieving tooth fairies.
Runners lace up for a half-marathon quest through some of Stark County's most splendorous scenery. Launching from the Massillon Recreational Center, the marathon charters along the Cuyahoga river and across 3 miles of undulating hills before the final stretch—the flat and steadfast terrain of the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath—where runners gape at natural and manmade marvels before dashing across the finish line at the Second Sole shoe store.

Maria Aragon Waiting With Bated Breath
Voting has closed for an online MTV award that a young Winnipeg girl is nominated for.
YouTube sensation Maria Aragon is among six nominees for best fan cover at the inaugural MTV O Music Awards to be given out April 28. Aragon, 10, became an overnight sensation two months ago after pop star Lady Gaga praised the youngster's rendition of her hit song Born This Way on Twitter. Her video has since been viewed more than 29.6 million times on YouTube.
Aragon is up against five other nominees who produced cover versions of other artists' songs: Alex Goot, Jorge and Alexa Narvaez, PS22 Chorus, Scampi and Mike Tompkins.
Online fan voting for the award closed Sunday night. For several days last week Aragon was in top spot with the most voting activity over the past 24 hours but as of Monday morning, voting for Goot had "the highest level of activity over the last 24 hours", the awards website states.
The winner will be announced April 28.
Isn't Maria adorable? Watch live at 8:00PM PST on omusicawards.com to find out if she won!

Mixer is a fully asynchronous service that requires significantly fewer threads than thread-per-connection or thread-per-request architectures like Standard Apache Tomcat applications which don't scale well with large number of connections/requests. Because of this, the Yahoo! Mixer can efficiently handle a large number of outstanding requests to slower services like Facebook with just a small [...]

Memcached: Slabs, Pages, Chunks
Memcached, a distributed cache for data / object storage in memory, is very important for scaling and improving response time performance. This is especially important for Social websites, which heavily depend on slow outbound data services (e.g. Facebook, database, Identity services, etc.). To mitigate overhead of heap memory allocation / deallocation, memcached organizes itself into [...]

Man, too bad this deal isn't for any other knives, I have another Sakon possibly
coming and we know how much you love those. how's the finger?
As long as the knife in question is similar in construction having similar steps needed to get it done then the price can be controlled by working in batches. If I have to do it one at a time then it turns into something bigger, that's my concern here. So maybe!! :)
no worries, I'm saving up a batch of knives to send out to you for spa treatment, if I decide to trade for the Sakon I'll toss it in. Thanks, Dave
The response has already been good so I'm thinking of reducing the time that I'm leaving this open. I'll be closing this sale down on Fri 11/16
Thanks everyone! :)
wow, so many amazing things i am seeing here, i have no idea where to start, all so impressive but kinda overwhelming, damn i want a knife lol
Nice, Just got the coupon! The knife will be on it's way Dave-looks great. Thanks!
Two things that have come up...
1. If you have a knife that you're sending in for thinning work and it is already customized (like with a handle upgrade) then you should know that if anything should go wrong with the thinning process and the blade is destroyed I will not be able to replace the custom handle, I will only replace with a new stock knife. I mention this because once in awhile I lose a knife during the thinning work and for this reason I thin knives BEFORE I rehandle them, never the reverse. I hope that you can understand this and see that the liability is too great for me to accept. Please do not purchase one of these coupons if this is not OK with you.
2. If you have a knife that is not a Hiromoto AS and want it thinned then it's possible that we can accept this with the use of one of these coupons but please check with me before purchasing a coupon and we can talk specifics.
I will not thin or modify any knife made by other US custom knifemakers. There is an unwritten code that US knifemakers do not touch each others knives.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Today is the last day for this sale.
Thanks to all of you who have participated! :thumbsup:

"So Skylar, critics and fans alike have been raving about your new album, Things I've Loved, which is available this coming Friday. It's been touted as a break up album, is that true?"
Skylar smiled sadly, "I guess you could say that. It definitely tells a story"
"And what story is that?"
"You'll have to buy and listen to the album," the two laughed, "But honestly if you listen to all the songs in order, it does tell a story"
"Now your first single is called Addiction, where in the story does this one fit?"
Skylar laughed, "Good question, it's towards the end"
"Explosion Theory's last album, September, was mostly love songs are the two albums centered around the same relationship?"
"They are. September was really the beginning and the honeymoon stage of that relationship. There were a few angsty songs on that album but mostly it was rose colored glasses. Things I've Loved is really when you see the relationship for what it was and it's a lot darker and emotional and raw than September. I wrote the majority of Things I've Loved in a drunken haze one weekend. I called the boys when I finally sobered up and said, 'hey I just wrote all this stuff, let's get together and make another album' and they were all on board and we started putting it together that week."
"So if this is a break up album is it safe to assume your single?"
Skylar laughed again, "I am"
"I'm sure the female fans are excited to hear that. I know I am" Kelsi gave him a flirtatious smile "We'll be continuing our interview with Skylar Blake after the commercial but first, I'd like to introduce the debut of Explosion Theory's first single of their new album, Things I've Loved. This is 'Addiction' "

In a wild day in the UFC, it was announced early Friday morning EST that Lyoto Machida turned down the opportunity to challenge Jon Jones for the 205-pound title in late-September at UFC 152, first reported by Ariel Helwani.
Instead, Vitor Belfort has accepted the title shot and will face Jones in the main event of the Toronto show.
Belfort was scheduled fight Alan Belcher at UFC 153 in Rio, Brazil, in a 185-pound fight. This has raised speculation that Chris Weidman would be a good candidate to fight Belcher as 185-pound champ Anderson Silva is expected to be out until 2013.
More on this story from Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez as Friday progresses.

The House Always Wins: Can Casino Stocks Follow Suit?
Bill is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It is often said that when it comes to gambling, 'the house always wins.' However, it can be true that buying casino stocks in a down market can yield solid long-term profits. The key, as with all investments, is to do one's research and choose wisely.
Not just in Vegas anymore
Regional gaming has been increasing in recent years, driven by states and other governing bodies that view the construction of new casinos as a viable way to stimulate the local economy and add new jobs. As a result, the barriers to gaming or casino construction are gradually being eased. While most of the casinos being built and opened throughout the country are similar to Vegas-style resorts, making a costly trek to Nevada unnecessary, what is becoming even more prominent are Internet casinos and the ability for gamblers to 'scratch the itch' from their own homes.
And just as the close-to-home games have proliferated, overseas gaming has recently received plenty of attention. One such success story is Macau, the "Monte Carlo of the Orient." Macau, just off the coast of China and a quick jaunt from Hong Kong, is the only part of China where casino gambling is permitted and has seen an impressive 12% to 15% annual growth in the last two years. This growth beats that seen in the U.S. market.
Big players
There are plenty of big names in casino stocks. Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) is often considered the 'gold standard' for Las Vegas casinos. In a slowly recovering economy, it has generated over a billion dollars in free cash flow in the trailing 12 months. Currently, the stock is at $136, off its high of $161, and far from the low end of a trading range at $95.
Wynn Resorts is also boasting some impressive financials. Its revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3% and since the same quarter one year prior, revenues have slightly increased by 5%. The stock is up about 30% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period, and should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
Next would be Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS). Like Wynn, the company has seen a free cash flow of $1.6 billion in the trailing 12 months. Currently, the stock is at $58, just under its 52-week high of $62, so one might not want to jump in too soon; rather, keep it on the radar. Once it nears its trading range low of under $40, investors might consider entry. With its smart strategy of paying down its debt before looking to expand, its movement into the Macau expansion was a smart move as previously stated. Shares of LVS rallied last week after the financial results for Macau were released. It also beat revenue forecasts and hiked its dividend by 5 cents.
Another name in this arena is MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM). While MGM Resorts is heavily burdened with $13.2 billion of debt while only generating around $400 million of free cash flow each year, there are new reasons for investors to be excited. MGM Resorts International is planning a $2.5 billion development on Macau's Cotai Strip. Specifically, MGM Resorts is planning the construction of a 1,600-room hotel/casino that is expected to be completed by 2016. The property will complement the already existing MGM Grand Macau resort. While the new development will cost MGM Resorts upwards of $100 million, it is expected to drive increased spending by customers throughout the resort and will likely pay off big in the future. According to Howard Stutz, columnist for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "Analysts expect Macau gaming revenue to jump 18% this year, exceeding a record $38 billion in 2012."
Competition from online casinos continues to be a factor for these big players. However, there is good news for large brick and mortar operators. The problem with many online sites is that, as a whole, they have been tainted by criminal activity and shady operations. Most recently, seven Dutch online casinos were shut down due to allegations of money laundering.
So which game to play?
So should investors place their bets - and if so, on who? Casino stocks do have some degree of predictability. However, net income growth rates are extremely inconsistent, are heavily dependent on the economy, and are also affected by unpredictable gaming revenues (or losses). Weather can be a factor, and so can business travel and leisure travel trends.
The first thing to consider is that almost all casinos are hotels first and foremost. This means that the stocks often behave like hotel stocks do; namely, they will possibly perform poorly when the economy contracts. In those cycles, hotel REITs will be selling property. Shorting these (hotels and casinos) is a good bet. Likewise, it is wise to get in at the bottom, when the economy begins to expand.
Another consideration is that when the economy is expanding, gaming revenue can be unpredictable, but as a rule, it will grow as well. This is largely because people have more dispensable income for 'fun.' Analysts might be able to peg revenue and growth quarter to quarter, but establishing a growth rate, PEG ratio, or other valuation metric is difficult. This does not mean investors should ignore it, merely consider it in a total strategy.
Due to their cyclical nature, casino stocks are trading stocks and are more difficult to buy and hold. Currently, the American economy is on the upswing. Hotel average daily rates, occupancy rates, and revenue per available room are all rising strongly. Thus, casino and leisure stocks will rise as well.
While growth continues in casino and gaming availability, as mentioned in Macau, MGM's expansion on the strip, and Wynn's planned $4 billion resort on the Cotai Strip, revenue will likely increase as well. All of these factors make considering Wynn, Las Vegas Sands, and MGM a good bet.
Macau has grown to five-and-a-half times the size of the Las Vegas Strip, with $33.6 billion of gaming revenue in 2011, and Wynn Resorts is perfectly positioned to capture the opportunity in the region. Is that reason enough for investors like yourself to consider investing in Wynn right now?

So trwtf is...
The guys who transferred over were left with no support from the previous consultants working on the project?
Definitely a fictional story. A system with meaningful/helpful documentation? When was the last time that happened?
Is there any chance of posting the unedited story to see whether the way it sets up the scenario makes any sense? The first 9 paragraphs of this article seem to be deliberately written to make it hard to figure out what's going on.
For English readers - 'acclimated' = 'Acclimatise' ...

It's clever, isn't it - rather than just telling you, it makes you FEEL how Peter felt.
Consultants with proper documentation?
Is TDWTF allowing science fiction now?
The Daily Dogbert. Another tale of overpaid consultants who are not held to the same standard as underpaid employees, due to the bad business sense of pointy-haired bosses.
Captcha tation: "tation, n. A portion of potatoes. (From a portmanteau of 'tater' and 'ration'.)"
If you never actually tried to read the docs, why would you know if there was something useful written in them?
Of course Peter was then fired for interfering in a process at a location he shouldn't be, and causing extra consultant-costs and -fines due to not following proper described procedures that he himself then only executed after those unneeded consultants where brought in, according to said consultants?
The real WTF, as usual, is freaking SharePoint. BAAARRF.
ShareBarf, Windoze, Micro$wat.
That about sums it up dunnit?

When I had to use it, I called it Sh!tPoint. As in, have you ever tried to sharpen a turd?
I was looking for feature the Sh!tPoint wiki didn't have (categorisation, trasnclusion, soft links to uploads, etc) and found an article like this:
This is from a Sh!tPoint developer, and basically opens "No-one chooses Sh!tPoint because it's the best (because it isn't); they use it because it's already in their company because their IT department trusts Microsoft. Suck it up." Not encouraging.
Both those words mean exactly the same thing in both British and American English.
Name calling is an interesting cognitive bias, don't you think?
Interesting, in that it is generally used by people who want to weigh in on a topic when they know very little about it. They deploy name-calling as an attempt to fool a weaker minded audience into agreeing with an argument that lacks any form of substance.

Hmm, no. As a British English speaker, I can tell you that 'acclimated' is an Americanism. It isn't in common use over here.

He didn't say it was common use just that they have the same meaning in both languages.
Hmm, no. As a British English speaker, I can tell you that it might well be an Americanism, but that is totally irrelevant. It IS in use in Britain, by British English speakers.
Also, the word antejentacular isn't in common use anywhere. It's still British English.
Of course. It's perfectly cromulent.

Both are copacetic, man.
The British National Corpus contains 103 instances of the verb acclimatise/acclimatize and 0 (zero) instances of acclimate.
COCA, on the other hand, has 70 acclimatize to 358 acclimate.

I like it when the only documentation is a diagram of what systems are talking to what other things behind the wall of their black box.
You make a request, it gets sent to our load balancer, that picks a database and that information gets sent to a response system, and that sends the response back to you! Also there's a cloud somewhere.
Um, ok. And how do I actually make a request....

I admittedly grew up in Hawaii where we speak Pidgin instead of (American) English, but I thought the American spelling was acclimatize.
Peter, beware of Muphry's Law; Acclimated is an adjective, while acclimatise is a verb.
Re: To Con and Insult
2013-07-10 11:19 • by Etherow (unregistered)
If 'acclimated' is in use anywhere in Britain by British English speakers, I've yet to hear it in my over half a century lifetime; certainly not used by anyone in the software business. I supposed it might by used by someone explaining how eccentric the 'English' spoken in that far away country about which we know little, the USA, can be.
"empty bottles of Evian" ? perhaps a left-over of the original story, indicating it happened in France...
or perhaps Evian is commonly found in whatever country it happened in.
Peter peered over Bob's shoulder, at the error message on his laptop. "It could be that the security log's full. Have you checked the application's internal registry?"
Definitely the wrong thing to say. The proper observation to make would have been, "Hire me as an ad-hoc consultant and I'll fix this in five minutes. It'll cost you two grand but it'll be worth it: you guys can take the credit and look like geniuses."
Peter is evidently doomed to a life of abject honesty.
So, you've come out with some statistics about two sets of arbitrary text data.
Consider the number of words spoken, per hour, in both of these countries. That number will be higher than the total number of words in the respective corpora.
So, if it only takes an hour to out-do a corpus, how can it possibly be representative of anything, and how relevant can it possibly be to this discussion?
I'm British. I use the word 'acclimate'. I use it in the course of speaking British English. The people to whom I speak understand what I am talking about, therefore my use of British English has been successful. Now, you might want to erroneously deploy a "no true Englishman" argument, but the fact is, I only need one counter-example, me, to be correct on this issue.
How is this going to work in real life? Peter could get arrested for holding information critical to company.
I damned well hope Peter put that in his PMP. And told his boss. He needs to brag that up big time. There are times to help people, and there are times to let people do the job they're being paid for.
Re: To Con and Insult
2013-07-10 12:11 • by Calli Arcale (unregistered)
About the only grammatical nitpick remaining is that if you're going to do a translation, at least use the same part of speech. Those don't mean the same thing, since the first one is an adjective. "Acclimated = acclimitised."
Of course, then we can get into single versus double quotes if anyone wants another totally pointless row....
This might beg the question, but WHY didn't Peter solve the problem BEFORE the highly paid consultants arrived back at the scene of the crime?
They're not "arbitrary text data": they're both carefully curated to be representative, i.e. typical.
"British English" doesn't mean "the superset of all idiolects of people who claim to speak British English". If the word "ket" is used only in Yorkshire then that makes it Yorkshire English, not British English. You form a sample of one, so you're probably not a statistically representative sample of all British English speakers.

All the Ad Hominem in the world won't make the Sh!tPoint wiki feature complete. It lacks templates/transclusion, managed links to uploads, redirects, categorisation, the list goes on.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines British English to be English "as spoken or written in the British Isles; esp. the forms of English usual in Great Britain".
So, while your definition of British English gets a special inclusion, mine is clearly included within that definition.
What is more, the OED includes acclimate, and cites it in British English usage circa 1792.
If you'd like to disagree with the OED about this, you're more than welcome. Just fuck off while you're doing it.
So. Peter gets to play high and mighty for 5 minutes, and he's still paid nothing compared to Bob. Poor Bob will need to drive his Porsche home that's twice as big as Peter's and think about what he's done.

Documentation either is readable, is helpful, or exists. Pick 2^H1.
Letting the consultants take the credit for fixing it is why OP is not a highly paid consultant.
Hmm, the whole build-up of this story, about the consulting company and the contractual arrangement and all that, really had just about nothing to do with the punch-line. "You don't remember what you yourself wrote?" could be just as applicable to an in-house developer as a consultant. Well, I guess without the big build-up the story would have been too short.
And frankly, the idea that someone might forget one tiny detail amidst all the thousands of details that go into a large system isn't particularly startling. I'm sure I've forgotten lots of things that I've written down at one point or another. That's why we write them down: so we have something to look back at when we forget. But finding the key fact among all the irrelevant facts is the challenge.

Yeah, that's just the sort of thing we expect one of you communist racist Nazis to say.
Also... As you have mentioned, those corpora have curators deciding what goes in and what doesn't, curators who are acting as the arbiters of the many inclusional/exclusional decisions. I think you'll find that is pretty much the definition of arbitrary data.

There are a number of different uses for Aloe Vera gelly including hair care, skin care and internally taking the aloe gelly.
Beyond thinning hair or hair loss, aloe gelly can help with things like seborrhea, dandruff, and psoriasis as well. For dandruff and psoriasis, aloe gelly helps to moisturize the scalp and hold the moisture in. Moisturizing the scalp helps keep the scalp from becoming too dry, and as a result you get less flaking and a healthy scalp. The gelly found in aloe vera has naturally occurring anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities that will help to keep other skin related problems from arising on the scalp.
In addition to being used as a topical anesthetic for burns, it can also be applied to minor cuts, insect bites, rash, blisters, sun burn, and even cold sores. One of the reasons it is so widely used on burns has to do with the moisturizing effect. By keeping the skin hydrated, it allows for a more rapid healing process as well as keeping the skin elastic instead of dry.
When combined with other ingredients, the gelly has even been known to help heal bruises faster than normal. The gelly is taken from the aloe Vera plant stalks. When a stalk is broken off from the main plant, the interior of it contains the gelly. The cellular structure of the gelly helps it to retain water to be used by the plant later. This aspect of the plant helps it to survive in hot arid climates. While it can be grown in tropical climates, it is more often than not, cultivated by private individuals to be used as a topical medicine for cuts and burns. Aloe Vera's reputation for its ability to help with hair, cuts and burns, and skin miniaturization reach far back into history. The plants medicinal qualities in other aspects when ingested are still be researched today.

I found Ann Romney calling the Hilary Rosen controversy "a birthday present" a little odd. The outrage machine ginned up the culture war to defend Ann's "choice" to stay at home, but she's telling us she enjoyed it? She wasn't really hurt and offended? If the president had declared a "war on moms," as Republicans claimed, could she really experience that as "a birthday present"? Is it really all about Ann?
On "The Ed Show" last night I said it revealed Ann Romney's sense of entitlement, that she would call such apoplexy "a birthday present." But I hadn't even heard the most entitled part of her interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, in which she exclaims, "It's Mitt's time. It's our turn now." In the same interview, her husband told Obama to "start packing," rather presumptuously (who orders around the president?), but Ann Romney declaring "It's our turn now" is even worse. Ann, the voters will decide that. Don't order the car elevator for the White House quite yet.
On CNBC Tuesday night, the candidate himself sat down with former Reagan staffer Larry Kudlow for a mostly admiring interview. Although it was interesting that after Romney got through slamming the Obama administration for "scaring" American businesses and generally wrecking the economy, Kudlow asked him to explain why the stock market is soaring. "Right now what you're seeing in stock prices is the fact that businesses are profitable," Romney acknowledged. Despite Obama, of course.
But Romney had one of his great Romney moments when Kudlow asked him if he thought the gains would continue. He tried to quote Yogi Berra, you know, like a regular Joe. Here's how it came out:
I'm not going to predict the direction of the stock market. I–you know, I always like to quote the Yogi Berra line or as close to it as I can, which is that Yogi Berra said, in effect, that he doesn't like making predictions, particularly if the future's involved.
"Yogi Berra said, in effect" is a perfect example of how not to quote Yogi Berra. That's old Mitt winging it.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The Bhagavadgītā, the most popular religious text of Hinduism, has become the social and political gospel of India in the Twentieth Century. What is attempted in this study is an examination of the Hindu religious consciousness as reflected in the various recent interpretations of this religious text. In this, we have examined the writings of Twentieth Century national and religious leaders of India and their reinterpretations of the age-old Hindu concepts of dharma, karma and mukti. The main line pursued is to discern the attempt by the moderns to integrate dharma and mukti and to render the message of the Gītā relevant to the problems of contemporary India. We examine this attempt by these national leaders against the background of recent ideologies such as nationalism, socialism and secularism that have made deep inroads into the sub-continent. The "counter-ideologies" (à la Harry M. Johnson) that sprang up from the new interpretations of the Gītā by national leaders such as B.G. Tilak, M.K. Gandhi, Sri Aurobindo and others are examined in depth. The modern commentators also attempt to relate the teachings of the Gītā to the needs of a modern secular society, and in particular to the problems of religious pluralism which confront modern India. These commentators however, did not limit the relevance of this text to India, but have been eager to point out its relevance for a wider humanity.
This study aims to be both descriptive and critical. I have sought to describe what modern Indian thinkers selected as essential to the tradition and have also sought to understand their determination to come to terms with not only spiritual but also national and social issues. It is clear that they understood that reconsttuction work in India could not be envisaged without giving it a basis in religious tradition which in their mind was most succinctly represented by the Bhagavadgītā. The writer after critical study, has come to the conclusion that these commmentaries taken together have successfully pointed out the significance of the Bhagavadgītā as a text that can accommodate varieties, and as a text which, without losing the clarity and rigour of its central spiritual perception, can provide legitimation, for the social and political forces that underlie a secular state.
