|Blue Devils well-fortified
Monique Currie's return for her senior season means that Duke should have as good a chance as any team to win the NCAA title next year. She brings back her big scoring punch, plus the Blue Devils' post game led by Mistie Williams, Alison Bales and Chante Black comes back intact and should be even better.
Duke's deep backcourt also will feature Lindsey Harding, returning after sitting out this season (suspension for violation of team rules). Wanisha Smith is more experienced. Emily Waner will be eligible after a transfer year, and her sister, Abby, comes in as a blue-chip freshman. Sharpshooter Jessica Foley is also back.
The Blue Devils' only loss, in fact, is 6-2 post player Wynter Whitley. Currie will benefit from more seasoning before entering the WNBA in 2006.
Mechelle Voepel of the Kansas City Star is a regular contributor to ESPN.com's women's basketball coverage. E-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The All-American guard announced Wednesday she will return for her final season, bypassing opportunities in professional basketball for one more year with the Blue Devils.
Because she was a fourth-year junior, Currie was eligible for the WNBA draft, and she put off her decision until after she led undermanned Duke to the final eight. She averaged 17.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.1 assists on a team that played most of the year with only eight players.
The Blue Devils (31-5) lost 59-49 to LSU in the Chattanooga Regional final. Despite a limited roster, they reached No. 1 in January the third straight year that's happened and won at least 30 games for the fifth season in a row.
With Currie coming back, Duke should have little trouble extending both of those streaks. Each of the five starters return along with one of the top recruiting classes in the country. Point guard Lindsey Harding, who was suspended for all 36 games last season for violating team rules, will come back as well.
She was a starter in 2003-04.
Currie sat out what would have been her sophomore year with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her knee, which she sustained in the opening minute of Duke's first exhibition game. She bounced back to help the Blue Devils win their fifth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title, but they failed to extend that streak this season.
North Carolina completed a three-game season sweep of Duke with an easy victory in tournament final after the teams tied for first
during the regular season.

Mediacom fixed problem
Published: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Mediacom responded to my last letter, published Oct. 8.
They were sent and received an e-mail copy of that submission to you on Sept. 29 and responded immediately that evening.
Making cable connections and removing the jumper cable, which crossed our main street, made the temporary fix permanent.
Picky issues, which included two open pedestals, one pedestal replacement and debris abandoned in drainage ditches, have also all been corrected.

Published August 1, 2009
It's the elephant in the health care reform room that no one in Congress wants to acknowledge: One of the reasons America has the highest per capita health care cost in the world is because of the extraordinary medical efforts made to keep people alive even when letting them to die with dignity certainly makes more sense.
Shouldn't someone in the last stages of his life with a complicated medical history simply be given drugs to make him comfortable as he prepares to meet his maker? Or, how about someone with a condition that would not guarantee survival even with the most advanced medical treatment?
Those are questions members of Congress should be answering, but are afraid to because they know that Americans, by and large, want to live forever — even if living means being hooked up to some machine.
Consider this scenario that was played out recently in Britain:
A 22-year-old man is dead after the National Health Service refused to provide him with a liver because he was an alcoholic — he started driinking when he was 11 years ago, and heavily from the age of 13. Near the end of his life, prior to being admitted to University College Hospital London, the 22 year old drank a large bottle of vodka daily, according to news reports.
In the hospital, doctors diagnosed advanced cirrhosis of the liver and predicted that without a new liver, he had only weeks to live. However, under NHS rules he would not get a liver until he proved that he could abstain from alcohol for six months outside the hospital.
Since his condition prevented him from leaving, he was unable to prove that he could abstain while on his own. In addition, he was so sick that a six-month wait was not an option.
Sarah Mathews, of the British Liver Trust, explained that although a 22 year old cirrhotic patient was "a difficult situation," transplant rules are quite strict.
In Britain, reaction to the 22-year-old man's death has focused on alcohol abuse among young people, rather than the decision not to provide the patient with a new liver.
In the United States, lawyers would be lining up to sue whoever they could, while politicians would be condemning the decision not to do whatever possible to give the relatively young man a second chance — a second chance with no guarantees and a huge price tag.
The question, "Who should get a liver?" goes to the heart of the health care reform debate. Unfortunately, no one in Washington wants to tackle it.
Estimates show that about 27% of Medicare's annual $327 billion budget goes to care for patients in their final year of life. (USA Today). Medicare (CMS) is scheduled to go bankrupt in 2019. The current path is indeed unsustainable.
The situation is complex. Tort reform will reduce medical costs and unneccesary procedures and tests. It would also enhance a health care provider's willingness to find alternatives, with the patient's loved ones, that offer a dignified and comfortable end-of-life. When a health care provider knows that they may become a defendent for not exhausting all remedies to prolong life, they often choose the safest path.
In my opinion, health care providers, and their families, are more likely to have advanced directives declaring that they don't wish to be in a persistant vegetative state or perhaps even resusitated if the situation is dire. Yet, many providers feel pressured to provide what often feels like cruel torture to a dying human.
Due to fear of litigation, loved ones are often given free reign of end-of-life decisions, rather than a collaborative arrangement where the provider offers alternatives that are less invasive. Loved ones without the benefit of this guidance feel obligated to "do everything", and that less would seem cold and uncaring.
Tort reform would reduce costs, facilitate more humane end-of-life care, and keep medical decisions in the hands of the patient, providers, and loved ones. HR3200 (Obama"care") would transfer these decisions to a politician.
To clarify MELD/PELD calculations... this score is based on lab results, bilirubin, creatinine and INR. It does not take into account cancer versus alcoholism. Patients with liver cancer are rated by the TNM system which gives the location and invasivness of the tumor. Alcoholics are required by most transplant facilities in the US to abstain from alcohol, be an active participant in rehab and pass a psych eval... Being a nurse for over a decade I can vouch for unnecessary treatments, tests and prcedured being performed to please family members... At some point enough is enough. We need to use medical reources more wisely in the future.

The Barbarian Lord
|Wei Yan has been unlocked.
On the Shu side of the Battle of Wu Zhang Plains, do not allow Wei Yan do be slain. (Target 2) If he says a message about withdrawing to a base to recover, that does not mean he's been forced to retreat and you can still get the achievement. To complete this, I follow him to the lowlands near the river and take bases/kill officers near him, which should also complete targets 2 and 3. Like most of the escort targets, this one can be completed most easily by simply babysitting Wei Yan through the level. This one is even easier than most, as Wei Yan heads for the mission-ending target on his own.

Celeb Surprise, Surprise
posted by March 26 at 10:51 AMon
Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental drug overdose.
Smith had also been receiving injections of drugs in her buttocks. On the Monday before she died, a blood infection from one of those injections caused a 105-degree fever. Smith's friends asked her to go to the hospital to treat the fever, but she refused. "A fever of 105 is life-threatening," Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper said, "but she refused and she's not a child she has the right to refuse and the people around determined that she had the capability to make such a decision. If she had gone to the hospital, I think that yes, she would have had a chance of survival."
Full grim story here.

Nicholls Police receive national award
Published: Friday, January 28, 2011 at 11:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 28, 2011 at 11:32 a.m.
THIBODAUX — Two Nicholls State University Police officers were honored for their work on the case of the Thibodaux Police officer charged with raping a Nicholls student.
Sgt. Mike Richard and Lt. Steve Tullis were recognized by the American Police Hall of Fame and Museum, a Florida nonprofit. Tullis received the Merit Award for Excellent Arrest, and Richard received the General Commendation Award.
The awards stem from the officers' performance in August, when a suspiciously parked Thibodaux Police car on Nicholls campus led to the eventual arrest of a city officer on charges that he raped a student.
"This was an independent board. It's not a bunch of my partners saying we're going to receive a medal," said Craig Jaccuzzo, director of Nicholls Police. "It gives me the opportunity to have an independent council outside my department review the work of my officers."
The two officers will be permanently recognized in the American Police's Hall of Fame, Jaccuzzo said.
He added that this is the fourth time in his seven years as director that the American Police committee has recognized Nicholls Police officers.
"We investigate crimes, we arrest individuals and we use new initiatives to ensure the safety of our students, faculty members and community," Jaccuzzo said. "These two officers are prime examples of where our police department is and the services that we render."

Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's most senior adviser, warned Cherie Blair months ago that her friendship with Carole Caplin, her "lifestyle guru", was dangerous for the Prime Minister and should be ended.
Mr Campbell issued the warning before he became aware that Miss Caplin was in a relationship with Peter Foster, a convicted fraudster, or that Foster had provided Mrs Blair with financial advice and negotiated a property deal on her behalf.
At that point, Mrs Blair had told No 10 officials only that Miss Caplin had a boyfriend "with a colourful past". She had not revealed that he was Foster - a notorious fraudster whose record would have been well known to Mr Campbell, a former tabloid journalist.
Mr Campbell, the Prime Minister's director of communications and strategy, was supported in his warning by his partner, Fiona Millar, who handles Mrs Blair's media affairs.
Ms Millar is understood to resent the fact that she has been steadily supplanted as Mrs Blair's closest adviser by Miss Caplin.
However, Mrs Blair told the couple that her private life was her own business. "Alastair and Fiona were told it had nothing to do with them. It was Cherie's private life," said an aide at No 10.
Friends of Mr Campbell say that the Prime Minister's wife treated the advice to distance herself from Miss Caplin, a former glamour model who has become her closest confidante, as an attack on her friend rather than an attempt to protect the Prime Minister.
"She treats us as though we are in the same category as the Daily Mail," Mr Campbell told a colleague - apparently referring to Mrs Blair's belief that the newspaper has invaded her privacy.
The disclosure that Mrs Blair was warned well before last week's embarrassing revelations that Miss Caplin was a liability demonstrates the extent of the rift at the heart of Downing Street over the Foster affair.
Last week Mrs Blair had a showdown with Mr Campbell and Ms Millar, after she admitted misleading them and the No 10 press office over the extent of her financial dealings with Foster. He has fraud convictions on three continents and is fighting deportation to Australia, where he faces jail.
Mr Campbell's close friends said last night that he was furious that Mrs Blair had allowed a convicted conman, facing deportation, to get close to the Prime Minister. He was further angered that she insisted on maintaining her friendship with Miss Caplin.
Mr Campbell told friends: "You can't have a convicted fraudster anywhere near the Prime Minister's inner circle." Mrs Blair ignored warnings about Foster after assurances by Ms Caplin that he was "a reformed character".
A senior figure at No 10 said: "Alastair has made clear in the past that he has had deep doubts about Caplin. Fiona has made no secret of the fact that she does not like Caplin."
Ms Millar, who was promoted last year to become director of events and visits at No 10, while keeping her role as Mrs Blair's media adviser, is said by friends to be "re-assessing her position".
There was a heated scene at Downing Street on Wednesday night when the Blairs returned from a night at the theatre. Ms Millar and Mr Campbell told them that the next morning's Daily Mail had details of Mrs Blair's private e-mail correspondence with Foster about the purchase of two flats in Bristol.
They showed, despite her protestations, that Foster had acted on her behalf.
Mrs Blair was asked to open her private email account to scrutiny by Mr Campbell and his media team. "We read them all," said an aide. "We had to. You don't know what is being said by this guy. You are dealing with a professional conman."
Last night, those close to Mr Campbell said that he was angry that Ms Caplin and her boyfriend have set back by months his attempts to repair the damage over allegations of Downing Street "spin".
An opinion poll published today shows that 57 per cent of voters believe that Mrs Blair deliberately misled the public over her dealings with Foster. The YouGov poll, of 1,477 people, for the Mail on Sunday, shows that a majority of voters - 58 per cent - now believe that the Labour Party stands for sleaze.
Mr Blair also has the lowest standing among the party leaders, with only 51 per cent saying he was honest. The Prime Minister's wife was viewed as honest by only 47 per cent.

Product Description
From Booklist
Using a plot that owes much to Zane Grey, who himself owed a great deal to Walter Scott, Oke places a young schoolmarm, Ariana Benson, in harm's way and then joins her with the man she loves. Ariana is kidnapped and held for ransom by a band of outlaws--turns out though, that the boss' son, Laramie Lawrence, has a conscience and even an incipient faith. He steals Ariana from the outlaws, and on a long trek to Montana, the two fall in love. Laramie becomes a Christian, but a missing cuff on Ariana's inherited wedding gown shows up in Laramie's long-dead mother's trunk, linking the two as brother and sister, separated years before when Indians massacred their parents. Tough break, but further research reveals that they are not related, and so the marriage can proceed. Oke is the grande dame of Christian fiction, and her latest is likely to join The Bluebird and the Sparrow , her previous work, on the evangelical Christian best-seller list. John Mort --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This book was a wonderful read. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I had to find out what would happen between Ariana and Laramie. I found myself feeling sympathy for not only Ariana for being in the situation she was in but also for Laramie. He was also in a situation he wasn't comfortable or sure about.
Janette Oke writes such wonderful books. Her characters are so real one almost believes they really did live in the past. Though her books are set in the prairie times the messages in them will be current for all of time. This book is so well written. Events happen at such a pace the reader doesn't have time to catch their breath or stop for a break. You simply must read ahead to find out what happens. I loved this book and was so sorry it ended. I must say I was beginning to get a little worried toward the end when things weren't looking good for Ariana and Laramie. This is a must read book.
Not surprised about the romance. In fact the romance is a key aspect of the plot. Most of the suspense revolves around the romantic developments in the relationship between Ariana and Laramie. Ariana is a young Christian girl who is orphaned by an Indian raid, leaving no connection with her birth parents aside from a wedding dress inherited from her mother. But the likelihood of her ever wearing this dress becomes remote when she is kidnapped by a bunch of Wild West outlaws (oh yes, be prepared to read dialogue in the language of the old West!) Laramie is the son of the gang's boss, and is commissioned to guard Ariana. Laramie's father is concerned that his son doesn't have the makings of a true outlaw because he shoots only to wound, and is convinced that Laramie will learn to shoot to kill when he is forced to fight over a woman - Ariana (p.24-27). But the anticipated showdown (p.125) doesn't eventuate, because Laramie decides to spirit Ariana off to freedom instead. The reader is left to beg the burning question: how will the relationship between Laramie and Arian develop, and what will be the consequences? And just when the outcome appears to be clear, a sudden twist in the plot unravels a surprise by launching the story in an entirely different direction, not just once, but twice!
But even though plot hinges on romance, the romantic element never becomes offensive or unbearable.Read more ›

Buenos Aires, Mar 28 (EFE).- The CEO of Argentine state-controlled oil company YPF says a court ruling embargoing the assets of Chevron Corp.'s local subsidiary could hinder investment flows into the South American country.
Miguel Galuccio, who has headed YPF since Argentina seized a 51 percent stake in the company last year from Spain's Repsol, issued the warning in an open letter to a group of Ecuadorian plaintiffs trying to collect on a huge judgment against Chevron for environmental damage in the Amazon.
YPF and Chevron Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding in December that paves the way for an eventual partnership to develop shale oil and gas reserves in the massive Vaca Muerta formation, which is located in the western Argentine province of Neuquen.
In the letter, published Thursday by the Pagina/12 daily, Galuccio told the Ecuadorian plaintiffs that the legal action they have brought against Chevron in the South American country "is absolutely detrimental to Argentina and could have a negative effect on investment" there.
Galuccio said Argentina is pursuing a path of energy independence and that developing Vaca Muerta is essential to meeting that goal.
In November, an Argentine court embargoed up to $19.55 billion in assets of the local subsidiary of Chevron, the South American country's fourth-largest oil producer.
The embargo was sought by attorneys representing a group of Indians and villagers in Ecuador's Amazon who won a nearly $20 billion judgment against Chevron for environmental damage.
The plaintiffs are trying to collect on the judgment in several foreign countries since Chevron has few assets in Ecuador.
The Ecuadorian courts found Texaco, which Chevron acquired in 2001, guilty of dumping billions of gallons of toxic drilling waste in a 480,000-hectare (1,850-sq.-mile) area of the Ecuadorian Amazon between 1964 and 1990.
Chevron succeeded in having the pollution case moved from the United States to Ecuador in 2003 but later said the case was marred by fraud and that it could not receive a fair trial in the Andean nation, currently governed by leftist President Rafael Correa.
The company, which maintains that Texaco had been cleared of any liability for damages by the Ecuadorian government of the time after remediating its share of environmental impacts, has refused to pay the judgment.
Plaintiffs say that mid-1990s agreement with the government did not release it from third-party claims and that Chevron is reneging on its pledge to abide by whatever decision was handed down by Ecuadorian courts.

TAMPA, Fla. — Frans Nielsen scored the only shootout goal and assisted on a second-period score by Thomas Vanek in a 2-1 victory for the Islanders against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.
Nielsen snapped a wrist shot between the pads of Ben Bishop moments after Valtteri Filppula rang a shot off the post to the right of Islanders goalie Kevin Poulin at the other end. The Islanders had a seven-game road winning streak snapped Tuesday at Florida.
Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis beat Poulin from the right circle to open the scoring on a power play 5:45 into the game, capitalizing on a penalty-killing unit ranked last in the league.
The Islanders threatened to tie it while playing short-handed with six minutes left in the second period. Casey Cizikas broke in on Bishop, but Teddy Purcell interfered from behind.
Vanek pulled New York even on a power play at 18:22 of the second, taking a pass in the low slot from Nielsen and lifting it over a fallen Bishop.
Defenseman Victor Hedman, playing in his 300th NHL game, nearly restored Tampa Bay's advantage with a backhander that hit the left post midway through the third period.
Both goalies finished with 29 saves.

Discover CEO Nelms Sees More Growth in Private Student Lending
Discover Financial Services Chief Executive Officer David Nelms, whose company is buying Citigroup Inc.'s education loan unit, said risks in private student lending are overblown and that more growth is ahead.
"Private loan demand is growing and contrary to some perceptions out there, done right it actually has very low loan losses and risks compared to other unsecured loans," Nelms, 49, said today in an interview.
Discover, which runs the fourth-biggest U.S. payments network, may be able to get more credit-card business by introducing its brand to customers of its expanded student-loan business, Nelms said. Discover may rank as the third-largest private educational lender when the deal is completed, he said.
"We do expect over time these students and their parents will appreciate the great value we're providing in student loans and we hope to certainly attract some of them to credit cards," said Nelms, whose company is based in Riverwoods, Illinois. Cross-selling "is not the primary reason for this acquisition," he said. "The business itself can have very attractive risk-return characteristics."

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Swine Flu and the Elderly
What steps can seniors take to protect themselves against swine flu? continued...
"I'm telling my patients that if someone in the immediate family or close contact has any flu-like symptoms ... they need to stay away from those people; those people also need to isolate themselves and seek care," says Leng. Once you have symptoms of the flu, you should contact your doctor, says Leng.
"Whenever possible, seniors should avoid anyone who might appear to have flu symptoms," advises Yoshikawa. "Washing your hands with disposable paper towels rather than shared cloth towels minimizes spread of the flu onto your hands and face."
Carrying alcohol-based hand gels and cleaning your hands whenever you go to public places may also help remove or kill the flu virus, Yoshikawa tells WebMD.
What type of treatment should a senior with swine flu follow? Can they take antivirals?
"If a senior comes down with symptoms compatible with a flu, they should see their doctor right away," Yoshikawa says. "Taking antivirals early in the course of the flu (preferably before all symptoms start but by 48 hours into the course of the infection) can reduce the severity of the disease." Antivirals can also help prevent flu and its complications.
The antivirals recommended as effective against H1N1 flu are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Tamiflu and Relenza are most effective if given within 48 hours of the first symptoms. But the drugs still benefit patients if given more than 48 hours after onset of symptoms.
What precautions should caregivers of the elderly or those in retirement homes take to protect themselves from swine flu?
There are always universal precautions to help prevent the flu, says Leng.
Additionally, in a retirement community setting, "if someone gets flu-like symptoms, I would suggest they stay in their own apartment, and if diagnosed they really need to be isolated." Yet sometimes a senior may not realize they have flu-like symptoms. In that case the caretaker may want to take the extra step and get that person to seek care if they have symptoms, suggests Leng.
And as a caregiver you need to protect your patients by staying home if you become ill and avoiding especially those at high risk for complications from influenza.

Planned Parenthood of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle will sponsor the second annual teen sexuality training course from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday at 1501 S. Taylor St.
The program, designed for teens ages 13 to 19, will include local teachers and nurse practitioners who will present information about human development and sexuality, according to information from PPATP.
"We chose topics that will educate the teens, provide them with a wealth of information and allow them to enjoy themselves as well," said Sharon Lazar, director of education for PPATP.
PPATP employs several peer educators who range in age from 15 to 19. They are based in each of PPATP's five clinics.
"Bringing these kids together for a day of training we felt would answer any questions the kids may have and help them feel more confident in their jobs as peer educators," PPATP chief executive officer Claudia Stravato said in a news release.
The morning sessions will include a human sexuality discussion moderated by Charles Chase, Ph.D.; a presentation on puberty and anatomy led by nurse practitioner and Amarillo College professor Camille Davis; and a discussion of the importance of abstinence and pregnancy prevention led by nurse practitioner Cyndy Walton.
Hector Mendoza of the Amarillo Health Department will present information about sexually transmitted diseases, HIV and AIDS.
After lunch, King Hill, a Highland Park High School teacher, will speak about peer pressure and teach negotiation skills, and Minnie Venable, an AC professor, will moderate a course in communication skills.
Throughout the day, Planned Parenthood staff will describe their jobs and talk to teens about how they can get involved in their communities.
The day will end with a presentation from the Dose of Reality theater troupe.
"Last year, the teens were very interested in the topics and grateful they participated," Lazar said in the release.
"It has been proven that kids who are educated about sex and all the options that are available to them are the ones that more conscientious of their sexual behavior. Ignoring the issues only leads to bad decisions simply because the kids are uninformed."
The teen educators employed by PPATP will use their training in the Dose of Reality programs. Those programs, available at each of the Panhandle clinics, are monthly sessions geared toward teen-agers.
The sessions offer teens a safe, friendly environment to discuss issues and ask questions.
The Amarillo Dose of Reality group meets the second Thursday of each month at the Amarillo clinic and every third Wednesday at the North YMCA Program Center.
The Pampa group meets every second Monday at the Pampa clinic; the Borger group meets every second Thursday at the Borger clinic; and the Tulia group meets every second Wednesday at the Tulia clinic.
For more information about the peer educator training session or the Dose of Reality program, call Lazar at 374-8731, extension 129.

User talk:Griberg
Proposed deletion of International Resources for the Improvement of Sight[edit]
The article International Resources for the Improvement of Sight has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Apparently non-notable charity. None of the independent references in the article actually mention the charity. Nothing in google except for a few charities databases, which suggest that it's Cambodian focused, rather than the international focus of the article.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the
{{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing
{{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- I have deleted the
{{proposed deletion/dated}}notice. IRIS is an organization which operates in south and south/east Asia, not only Cambodia. It's an incredibly important organization providing a vital support to some of the less fortunate living in the region. As the organization appears to suffer from a limited web presence, it is crucial that the organization continues to be listed in Wikipedia. Instead of deleting the article, I suggest that the one who added the
{{proposed deletion/dated}}notice in the first place, instead spends some time to develop the article. Many thanks for your understanding. Griberg 12:25, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Nomination of International Resources for the Improvement of Sight for deletion[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article International Resources for the Improvement of Sight is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Resources for the Improvement of Sight until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Japan protested to China on Thursday after a Chinese government plane entered what Japan considers its airspace over disputed islets in the East China Sea, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said. The incident prompted Japan's military to scramble eight F-15 fighter jets, the Defence Ministry said. Japanese officials later said the Chinese aircraft had left the area.

Released: May 01st, 2006
Running Time: 62
Director: Rod Fontana
Company: Sticky Video
Cast: Desire Moore, Rachel Rains Lisa Harper, Kayla Quinn, Brandi Lyons, Veronica Jett
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
There's no "slam" – super or otherwise – in this slow-moving all-girl series extender. A limited assortment of toys are used, and used sparingly as the exclusively 2-girl vignettes focus more on lip service versus strap-on slamming. The cast is attractive but unenthusiastic in their lead-ins, and their moans seem more forced than enjoyed. Technically there are some strange edits (girls flip-flopping on the couch; last scene's dark lighting is just bad, not moody), but they can't hurt an already sub-par effort.
Retailing: Continues the series.

Show that BE is the perpendicular bisector to AC.
I tried to prove this through Pythagoras, but the answer I got did not prove it was at a right angle, and therefore said it was not the perpendicular bisector. I'm probably making a silly mistake, so any advice would be helpful!

A hybridization of British slang of "git" which means idiot or fool, with the ending suffix of "tacular" to describe a situation was being beyond ridiculous to the point of annoying idiocy, though at the same time mildly amusing.
That is absolutely git-tacular. The situation grew out of hand to the point of surreal stupidity, it was git-tacular.

It's a bit strange, because it seems Docker points to Wikipedia about this sentence, but Wikipedia article says: "that is composed entirely of free and open-source software, most of which is under the GNU General Public License..." (emphasis is mine).
I'm not sure why Docker changes "entirely" for "primarily"...
But going to the point, about statistics on license usage in the Debian archive, I've found this blogpost from @Stefano Zacchiroli which references a talk @johns gave at FOSDEM 2012. Both the talk and the blog post give interesting data, and discuss about methodologies for counting the license usage. HTH!Packages in the "main" pool are all free software, but you can opt to use "non-free" debian's repositories as well.There's also http://faif.us/cast/2012/feb/28/0x23/ from 2012 which has some numbers. ;)

Horse Racecourse In Ancient Olympia Discovered After 1600 YearsBreaking News
The site of the ancient hippodrome course in Olympia, where the emperor Nero competed for Olympian laurels, has been discovered. The hippodrome was discovered in Olympia by a research team that included Professor Norbert Müller (a sports historian from Mainz), Dr Christian Wacker (a sports archaeologist from Cologne) and PD Dr Reinhard Senff (chief excavator of the German Archaeological Institute - DAI.
"This discovery is an archaeological sensation," commented Norbert Müller of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. The research project extended over several weeks before being completed in the middle of May 2008.
Prior to this, the hippodrome had only been known from written sources. Archaeologists had failed to locate its actual site. This is surprising, as German archaeologists have been continuously excavating the site of where the ancient olympiad was held since 1875; this research has become a tradition and innumerable archaeologists, historians, and sports historians from all over the world have been involved in trying to solve this secret for over a hundred years.

McCain's at 43%. McCain's ALWAYS at 43%. 43% ain't gonna win the election.
Where can we see the polling for the individual states, and how does it look for Obama in the Electoral college? (Which, unfortunately, is the only thing that matters).
I've got my passport ready should things end poorly.
On that note, any gay Canadians want to get married...?
O's got the college when you include leaners. Remember, all of the polling goes to homes that still have land lines. What do you think the polling data looks like for people without a home phone? I bet if you strawed polled yahoo and google, you probably get about 65% or 70% Obama. I don't think their margin of error is based on strong statistical assumptions.
Wasn't the idea about the cell phones skewing the polls floated during the 2004 election when Kerry was shown in a dead heat race with Bush? Unfortunately, that theory didn't pan out. Maybe it will be different 4 years on-probably more people use cells as their primary line than did in 2004. Let's hope so!
The land line issue had never occurred to me. Verrry iinterestink.
you can see extensive polling for individual states at realclearpolitics.com
click on their electoral map
click on the no toss up view, showing this race is about even.
below it they have the list of all the states, starting with the most swingy swing states and then ending up with the states that are most "safe" for either Obama or McCain
People might be polling for McCain, but come election night, I think many Republicans are going to stay home. Evangelical Christians don't like McCain, the NRA has put him on their Most Hated list, he's foiled many a Republican plan in congress, and so on...
He's not "Maverick McCain" because he stomped all over hippies back in the 60's; he's "Maverick McCain" because he's never played ball with the GOP. He's said to have even flirted with the idea of changing sides and become a Democrat. That might make him an admirable, independent-minded politician in some eyes, but it makes him a terrible Republican in the eyes of the GOP.
I think Republican apathy is going to play a big part in this election.
14% of households are considered no landline households...they've already found statistically significant linkage:
Thanks #7
@8: Don't count on that. You think an evangelical or NRA nut is going to vote for Obama? No way; they'll do what we did with Kerry in 2004...hold their noses and hope for the best. This is going to be yet another close one, and that's a real problem for Obama. It's his election to lose. There's no fathomable reason why he shouldn't have a lock on this thing already.
"August 19, 2008 5:21 PM
ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf and Jennifer Parker report: As Delaware Sen. Joe Biden was leaving his house in Wilmington this afternoon, he slowed down and said to the gathered news reporters outside his home: "Hey guys, I'm not the guy. See ya." "
@2, also see http://www.electoral-vote.com for state-by-state polls.
From the LAT story:
"The survey found that 63% of voters have confidence in Obama's ability to deal wisely with an international crisis, while 77% feel that way about McCain."
This is what the worldwide whirlwind goodwill tour produced? Ouch.
Hmm. This is also interesting and a bit scary: electoral votes this day in 2004:
@11: Obviously, I don't think conservatives are going to vote for Obama. I just think that enough of them will be apathetic enough to not vote for John McCain, driving his percentages down. There's some considerable animosity to him from within the GOP. I'm sure than many Republicans will hold their noses and vote their party, but there's many a Republican that can't stomach the idea of voting for McCain.
Anyway, just an opinion of mine. I have no fancy numbers of charts to point to.
I'd feel pretty confident if I could take a week or two off and still be tied with my opponent when I got back.
What is the "subject" that Obama will try to change with the VP announcement?
As for the polls, they have been inaccurate for Obama all along during the primaries - presumably because people don't want to tell pollsters they're too racist to vote for the black guy, or just don't realize it themselves.
FURTHER...the polls now aren't super-accurate for at least two reasons:
1) At this time in 2000 and 2004, Gore and Kerry were ahead, but still lost.
2) About 10% of voters haven't made up their mind. Whoever these clueless and indecisive people are, which team they break is what will matter way more than the 2 or 3 percent of voters who are going back and forth between McCain and Obama
National polls don't mean shit in a presidential election...calm down and take a deep breath...
and who the fuck do those polls talk to anyway? I've NEVER been polled and I'm fucking ancient...has ANYONE on here been polled, (pun fully intended) or known anyone who has? And who the hell answers questions posed from a stranger anyway? (or The Stranger, for that matter...) Aren't these PHONE polls? Only an idiot gives out info on the phone. And, do they ever call people who only use CELL PHONES?
I seriously think, that the modern pollster is getting most of their statistical data from 14 year olds and senior citizens...
The reason we are in such a dead-heat mess is because the Dems don't get the GOP strategy. The GOP trends toward the right, they don't shy away from being 100% republican. AND THEY WIN.
The Dems, on the other hand, always try and play the middle (and have in-fighting because of it) and end up looking like no nothing, flip-flopping, not hard on any issues, untrustworthy, etc. People can't trust them. AND THEY LOSE.
Dem's need to grow a pair and be a STARK difference to the GOP. They need to embrace all the scary positions and go for it. No middle man, no pandering. Straight up "I am a liberal and I am going to do this". They'd get respect they don't currently have.
But they won't. And I really worry that they'll lose again.
With Nader, Barr and others included (as they will be on most state ballots), Obama leads 42-41.
I am shocked that, during a period when people take vacations and aren't even at their landline phones not screening calls, Obama might slip in the polls.
Never mind.
Wake me in October when it matters.
And think about what 43 percent means.
It means McCain really is McSame - he's got the same percent as Bush has for Presidential number.
Now, if he had 41 percent, he might have a chance.
"Statistical dead heat" is one of those phrases used without much regard for what it actually means.
Now on realclearpolitics.com electoral map no toss up view McCain is ahead 274-264; Indiana has flipped from being +0.5 for Obama to being +1.3 for McCain.
Oh well let's all go surfing in Hawaii, nothing to worry about here, oh I know what:
let's pick the VP candidate who DIDN'T get 18 million votes!
Because, you know, Obama would be so weak in the White House, he just couldn't handle those big, strong Clintons.
Fucking brilliant.
Comparisons to 2004 don't really work.
Kerry picked his running mate just after July 4th and had his convention.in late July. Those two things tend to help poll numbers.
McCain just had his best month of the campaign and has dick to show for it. Why isn't that the story? He's gone all-out negative and outspent Obama on the ad at an unsustainable pace as he burns through his primary cash. And he's had an opponent off the campaign trail for half the past month.
Post-convention, his hands will be tied by public-financing and people will actually be paying attention. Start worrying then.
On telephone surveys: In 1936 a telephone poll predicted a huge win for Republican Alf Landon running against FDR's second term. Landon, of course, lost by a landslide. In 1936 only the wealthy, who then voted Republican (this was before the GOP turned into the party of Jerry Springer trailer trash), had telephones so this has gone down in history as an example of flawed polling methods.
Unfortunately I don't think the landline vs cell phone theory applies today. They said the same thing in 2004 about Bush and Kerry and look what happened.

June 17, 2014 12:53pm
Our book the Metropolitan Revolution, published a year ago today, describes a new normal for governance and economic growth in the United States. The United States Congress, mired in partisan discord, has ceased to perform even basic functions of governance let alone address major national challenges around immigration, competitiveness, climate change and growing inequality. The aging of our population is structurally changing what the federal government even does, with a growing share of spending dedicated to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security squeezing out everything else.
In this vacuum, cities and metros are left to leverage opportunities and tackle challenges themselves—ready or not.
Detroit—yes, Detroit—is one of the places that's most quickly adapting to this new reality. In the past year, the city has gone far in following the new rules for urban and regional success.
Nearly 10 percent of the Detroit metropolitan area's workforce is employed in R&D intensive, STEM-oriented "advanced industries"—one of the highest concentrations in the nation. Auto manufacturing is one of these industries, but there is also a strong education and health care sector, and a burgeoning digital and creative sector, both concentrated in the Midtown and Downtown neighborhoods that comprise Detroit's proposed innovation district, announced last week. Startups have outgrown an early downtown tech hub, the 50,000 square foot M@dison building, so they moved into nearby spaces and have christened the area the M@dison block. The New Economy Initiative and the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation are fostering a strong ecosystem of big businesses and local suppliers in the proposed innovation district: Benchmark organizations spent $200 million more (a 31 percent jump) on goods and services from local suppliers this year than last.
Like many city governments, successive administrations in Detroit kicked the fiscal can down the road, decade after decade. Bankruptcy was an excruciating way to fix the city's fiscal problems, but it has given the city government: the ability to restore municipal services to minimal standards, and the discipline, enforced by continued state oversight, to stay out of trouble. New Mayor Mike Duggan champions accountability and performance metrics that will help people understand where their tax dollars go.
Non-government actors have been, and continue to be, critical in rebuilding. For example, the linchpin of the proposed bankruptcy settlement is the so-called "grand bargain": Philanthropies and private businesses contribute $366 million, and the state another $195 million, to limit cuts to city retiree pensions, and thereby preserve the collection of the Detroit Institute of Art, which would have been auctioned to cover city debts. But philanthropies and private sector companies have been shoring up the city for a long time. The Kresge Foundation and other philanthropies like the Ford and Hudson-Webber Foundations along with local businesses are making significant contributions to fund the M1 rail line, which will knit together the innovation district. The New Economy Initiative is supporting local entrepreneurship. Dan Gilbert's Rock Ventures, the Henry Ford Health System, Wayne State University, the Detroit Medical Campus and the College for Creative Studies have invested billions in Downtown and Midtown as well. There is more money available in cities than people think to strengthen the economy–but it's not necessarily public money.
Within Detroit, and even within the wider southeast Michigan region, people have shown a new willingness to work together. The grand bargain, if it holds together, would be the best example. But it's not the only one. In 2012, voters in Wayne, Macomb, and Oakland Counties agreed to a small property tax bump to support the Detroit Institute of Art. That may not sound like a big deal, but long term collaboration often starts with small steps. The role of the state and federal governments in supporting the city—not just through infusions of cash but also convening and allowing the city flexibility in how it spends existing dollars—are a new model of federalist collaboration between the different levels of government. As part of the proposed innovation district, the mayor charged the leaders of key anchor institutions, philanthropies and corporations to work together to make it happen.
The region still has a way to go, but it has come farther, faster, than anyone would have expected. One local columnist marveled: "All these groups are working together, displaying solidarity and leadership, the way civic fathers do in old-fashioned history books … A region grown infamous for modeling what not to do is showing off courage and commitment, social intelligence and communal generosity.
Detroit is neither perfect nor healed. But its progress in the last year has been remarkable. For the Metropolitan Revolution's birthday, we're celebrating Detroit.
The authors thank former New York City Deputy Mayor Robert K. Steel for first articulating the new rules for urban and regional success.
