Interviews with the Green Room Invitees
by: Jonathan Givony - President
June 24, 2004
Keep in mind that we had half an hour to interview seven guys and then another half an hour to interview the other seven (Kris Humphries was a no show for the entire day) so I may have missed a few.
Also, it would have taken me half an hour to get in even one question for Okafor, Howard or Gordon (I couldn't even see them they were so crowded) so I passed on that. There were at least 100 reporters there if not more so it wasn't really too easy talking to anyone before time expired and they were snatched up.
Devin Harris
I heard you worked out for the Suns 2-3 days ago, the way it looks right now it might come down to you or Jameer Nelson for them at the #7 pick, what have you been hearing, do you have any idea...
I have no idea.
What did the Suns tell you when you walked out of there?
They said we'd be happy to have you in the organization but we're not sure if you'll be around where we will be picking...If you are, you're someone we'll definitely look at.
(rude reporter barges in with yet another cliche question about transition from NCAA to NBA and why he declared)
Thanks Devin.
Rafael Araujo
(THE nicest guy in New York City)
Some reporter:
What have your workouts been like, what kind of things have NBA teams been looking for out of you?
A lot of teams want to see me shoot the ball, they were really impressed when they saw me step back and shoot the ball really well from behind the three point line and from mid-range. For a big guy, they really want to see a big guy shoot the ball you know? So I have a great range and I'm surprising and that's why there is talk of me going higher.
Same reporter:
Do you think that's what sets you apart? Talk about your game.
Yeah, I improved a lot in my game. I play the low post game really good, I shoot, I run the floor well. They've been really impressed, they see that I'm so big and they think I'm slow, but I'm really not and it seems like they've been impressed. I impressed a lot of the players.
Same reporter:
Are there any current NBA centers that you would compare yourself to if you had to make a comparison?
I try to look like a Karl Malone, I'm looking forward to meeting him and having the opportunity to get to talk to him because he's a big guy, no too tall, athletic, strong, has good range, shoots the ball really well...I like his game a lot.
Rafael I have a question...Larry Miller the owner of the Utah Jazz recently said on the radio in Salt Lake that if you are around at #14 the Jazz are going to take you... So is that a done deal, you don't even have to pack your bags, you are staying in Utah?
Oh, it's not a done deal, everything is a question mark. I don't know yet.
So you don't know who's going to draft you?
Nothing is for sure, everything could be possible, maybe not...I could be picked earlier, I could be picked later, who knows what's going to happen?
So would you be disappointed now if the Jazz passed on you twice at 14 and 16?
No, I wouldn't be disappointed, that's the decision they make for the team, if they think they don't need me in there that's fine, some team is going to need a big guy that can play. I don't want to go over there if they don't think I can play.
So why do you think he said that? I'll pick you at 14 if you are there?
I don't know. I wish I knew how to give you an answer. Maybe he like me a lot, if he did say that maybe he is really interested in me. I hope he keeps his mind set.
Did the Jazz call you after that?
No, no, they never called me. They talked to my representative but I can never say nothing.
So you've worked out for them twice already right? How did that go?
Araujo: I was there one time. I did really well.
Thank you so much Rafael.
Sergei Monya
(via translator/agent)
Hey Sergei, I'm just wondering, how are you feeling right now? You've only been in the States for a week or so. Are you excited, nervous, overwhelmed by all this?
It's a major sporting event, a major basketball event, it's great to be here.
So you have a contract for another 4 years I heard in Russia, is that true?
I have a clear escape clause from my contract after the following season. Plus, the club has already indicated that they are willing depending on where he gets picked in the draft to discuss his possible entry into the NBA next season.
So where would you have to be picked for that to happen? What would the buyout be?
The buyout doesn't really depend on me.
Agent: Just to clarify, there is a buyout already agreed upon in his contract and it all depends on where he gets selected in the draft.
Do you feel like you are at a slight disadvantage considering the fact that you haven't worked out for any NBA teams or do you think that your career at CSKA speaks for itself?
I'm not sure that everything I've done is enough in terms of to show everything I've got, but he hopes that it's enough and that time will show.
What was it like playing in the Final Four in Tel Aviv, how did that help you as a player and what kind of memories do you have from there?
It's a huge basketball holiday for all of Europe, 4 of the best teams and the best players in Europe playing against each other in one location. It's an amazing event, full gym, great atmosphere, this is the best basketball in Europe.
What about your teammate Viktor Khryapa? What kind of impact do you think he'll have next year in the NBA?
I'm sure everything is going to work out great for Viktor, he's a good guy, a great player and I wish him the best.
Thanks for your time Sergei.
Andris Biedrins
Hi Andris, how is your foot doing?
Um, my foot is doing well, but I'm using antibiotics right now because there is a little infection in my foot and there was a sore and I couldn't walk and now like last week I don't feel any pain, there is no more sore, I don't feel any pain, I can walk normal but I still need to use drugs now to make sure that the infection is 100% out.
Are you going to be ready for Summer league?
I think so...I think I will be ready for summer league. I need just a few days to get out all my problems.
How did the injury happen?
I think I started to wear once a couple of new shoes and there was a little bit of a blister in my foot. I thought alright, a blister, it's OK, not such a big deal, so I played and played and I came to Chicago and it was much bigger and my foot was sore, there was redness with all the pain. So I worked out for Chicago and Cleveland, and the next day I was working out and it was like so big that we went to the hospital and they put me in the hospital and said it's an infection and you need to use the antibiotics.
So which teams did you not work out for in the lottery?
I didn't work out for Toronto, Philly...umm
Yes, Seattle was the first.
No, no, well I was trying to but that was the injury too.
So how come you didn't even go to Philly to do the interview or the physical, what happened with that?
That's ah because, I, I went to the Golden State because travelling, I don't feel like I have to go travelling because of my feet, and it's a little bit different you know? I told them sorry guys, but there is no way I can do that.
So did you hear what Billy King from Philly said after that?
He said he doesn't care that you didn't come, he knows exactly what kind of player you are and that if he likes you he will take you.
Yeah I think they are OK with that, but there are kind of some rumors we've been hearing for a while that you got a promise from Golden State. Would you like to play in Golden State?
Um, of course but it's both teams that are kind of different. One team, another team, I will play no matter what. I think Golden State is interested and that's fine with me.
OK Andris, thanks so much for your time.
Thank you.
Andre Iguodala
Hi Andre, how have your workouts been going so far and how confident do you feel?
They've been going good, I feel like my agent has really put me in a perfect situation with who I've worked out for and I am really relaxed about tommorow.
It seems like your workouts so far have been kind of a secret, they didn't always go up on the NBA.com team pages after they happened, what is the reason for that?
I'm really not sure, I think they all went really well so there isn't a reason for that.
Have you worked out for Phoenix and Toronto?
Yes, I've worked out for all teams 3-8 including some workouts in Chicago at Hoops.
What happened in the combine? If I had to bet I would have guessed that you would have come out by far as the most athletic player there, was the 35 inch vertical because you are used to jumping off one foot?
No, it's not that. I am used to doing that type of stuff in a game, so it seemed strange to me. It's more like they are measuring your rebounding jumping then anything.
There was a lot of crap going around saying that Lute Olsen wasn't being too supportive of your decision even after you had made it already, maybe telling people that you weren't ready for the NBA or whatever. Is there any truth to that?
No that's not true. I invited Coach Olsen to come to the draft tommorow and he will be here.
Jameer Nelson
Where do you think your best workout was so far?
Definitely in Phoenix, I thought I really did well there. Philly too.
Did you feel like you had something to prove after O'Brien kind of ruled out that they would pick you? You had a chip on your shoulder?
Yeah, maybe you could say that, I just really wanted to go in and show them what I'm all about. I think I definitely left them something to think about.
It seems like you are in a pretty good situation because our weaknesses are really all out there for everyone to see, any team that drafts you knows exactly what you can and can't do and the team that takes you is probably going to be one that really wants you. Do you agree?
Yes, definitely. I've proven myself over and over again, I'm a known commodity, if a team likes that then they should take me. But if they want to say that I'm too short then they should pass. I'll just keep being myself.
Has anybody ever said to your face that you are too short?
No, but I know what they are saying behind closed doors. But no, never to my face. In fact, I haven't had one team not tell me that they didn't love the way I played after I worked out for them.
Thanks a bunch Jameer.
Kirk Snyder
Hey Kirk, you really shocked some people with those results at the combine. Did you have any idea that would be rated THE most athletic player in this draft?
To be honest, no. I had this perception about some of these guys based on what I had heard and saw on TV that these guys were going to make me look bad there. I thought Jameer Nelson was going to run circles around me and that Andre Iguodala was going to jump over my head, but it turned out OK in the end. It was mainly a combination of all those things together that got me that I think.
So honestly, what are your weaknesses Kirk? I've been reading all over the internet that you aren't quick enough, obviously you made those people look stupid.
I think my biggest weakness is a lack of exposure. Take a look around this room, look how crowded every table is, people just have no idea who I am. I know that once the season starts and I have a great game or two people will be like: Wow! Who is that guy? Where did HE come from? But I've been doing this my entire life. I'm not going to beat around the bush, a lot of players in college get hyped up because of what school they go to.
Do you wish that you would have gotten the same hype most of these other guys were getting while they were in high school?
No, I wouldn't change a thing. I believe this happened for a reason. I'm a pretty religious guy and I know things work out a certain way because they are supposed to.
What kind of hype were you getting out of high school?
I don't know, you tell me. Was there any?
A guy that couldn't pass the SAT's.
Yup, exactly. A guy that was too stupid to pass the SAT's.
What are your goals for next season?
I want to be one of the best rookies in the league next year.
6 weeks ago or whatever people were saying that you are crazy for hiring an agent and that you probably won't get drafted in the first round. Now you are sitting in the same room as all the other Green Room guys. I think players next year might be looking at you as an example of what they can do themselves. So what's your secret?
My secret? I don't really have one. I'm just being myself, doing my thing. I always knew that I had the ability, it was all just a matter of getting a fair chance to show it. Just because I didn't go to Duke and wasn't on TV every week doesn't mean I can't play.
Where do you think you'll be drafted?
Anywhere after 5 it looks like. Things are looking good.
Thanks Kirk.

So after reading all the reviews I felt the urge to write about our experience this past summer. We thought how fun a relaxing day on the river with our kids 5 years old at the time, 16yr, & 24yr. We got there and I went in to pay I asked the girls at the desk if it was safe...
My family and I went tubing this past July. I thought that this would be a fun experience for the family as it was advertised as such. They advertised a "family float" as well as a more dangerous float if you were up for the challenge. My husband and I along with our 3 children age 13, 11, and 4...
My wife and I enjoyed River Rat tubing during the summer. It was a great way to cool off on a hot day. I recommend it for families and couples who want to have a great day together.
We visited River Rage for what we believed would be a safe tubing adventure with our friends and family. It was advertised as a safe family activity suitable for young children and no experience necessary. This turned out to be a terrifying experience. This activity is not suitable for children under age 12. There is no way to stay together...
River was very low when we went so had a walk a bit but the views are amazing. Also, no crowds since late in the season. Very friendly staff and a great deal (only $10) for all day tubing.
This was our second time coming here. Never disappointed. You can tube down the river all day. Bus runs frequently so there was no waiting. Tubes are in great condition. The river is a little chilly but you get used to it quickly. Fun for the whole family.
cant beat this for a good time ride down the river from open till close and just $10.00 a person bring sun block
We went to River Rage in Aug 2016. The day we went the temperature was in the 90s. At first my wife and I thought it was going to be a slow boring ride down the river. When in fact, it was a nice mix of rapids and gentle currents. We have three kid 10, 8, and 6. All of...
Their add says "why pay more at the other places when the tubes are the same" but trust me, they're not the same. We first checked out a place up the road that cost more but had way better tubes. We decided we'd go with cheaper & I wish we hadn't. I asked our driver (on the way to the...
The staff was extremely rude when I was paying for the tickets and water shoes. They gave me a pair that wasn't my size and said well that's not their problem.

Renault Plant In Good Progress, Says Montebourg
News: The plan for French automaker Renault's plant in Algeria is making good progress, French minister Arnaud Montebourg said during his visit to the country. The joint venture, which was scheduled to be established by mid- September for the plant's installation, is yet to be created, however. Under the agreement, the plant will initially produce 75,000 vehicles a year and will reach 150,000 vehicles a year later.
BMI View: As the leading carmaker in the country with a market share of 19.9% in 2011 (25% including Dacia), Renault is one of the few carmakers with the domestic sales volume to support this level of output, which increases the importance of the project to the industry's development as a production base. The plan to increase capacity at a later date also suggests export plans, especially if the plant is based near a port.

Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso has reportedly told Juventus that he has no interest in a summer move to Turin.
The playmaker could potentially be available on a Bosman free transfer and he's been paired with the Old Lady.
According to Marca, Juventus officials have been told by the 31-year-old's agent that he doesn't want a move to Italy.
The Bianconeri believe that the former Liverpool man, today linked with a possible January move to Chelsea, wants a switch back to England.
The international is on the verge of returning to first team action after spending the last five months out with injury.
Although Alonso is set to discuss a new contract at Real, Marca believe he won't extend and will quit the club when his present agreement expires in June.
Andrea Pirlo's contract with Juventus is also set to come to an end next summer.
Keep up to date with the latest news and action from Spain's Primera Division with Football Espana - from the team behind Football Italia. [12]

Location and cost. There is a sink in the room. Wifi worked ok.
1. this isn't a hotel, it's a hostel 2. rooms are very insecure, so don't leave anything valuable. No one is on site from 9pm to 9am 3. the shared shower was filthy 4. no shared eating room, so guests use the "kitchen" in the hallway early and late.

Location was great. Very close to Gastown, Canada Place and the Vancouver Christmas Market. Good price for location and just having a place to sleep at night. Room was relatively clean.
Poor to non-existent kitchen facilities. Clean your own dishes, but nowhere to do them, no soap, no dish towels. TV room was uncomfortable. Wooden benches around outside walls of room and TV mounted so high that it was uncomfortable to watch.

By Ken Dilanian, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The State Department is failing to properly oversee nearly $2 billion in contracts to battle the drug trade, build infrastructure and train police in Afghanistan, according to a bluntly worded internal assessment.
The report by the department's inspector general questions whether the U.S. will be able to stabilize the country in time to meet President Obama's goal of withdrawing some troops by June 2011.
"Embassy oversight of contracts and grants is seriously inhibited by the dangerous security conditions … as well as by the shortage of qualified contract officer representatives in Kabul," says the report, released last week. The embassy "faces serious challenges in meeting the administration's deadline for 'success' in Afghanistan," it adds.
The embassy, which reports to special representative Richard Holbrooke, says the report is generally "accurate in its assessments," spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in an e-mail from Kabul. "We are already implementing a great majority of the report's recommendations."
That includes better contract oversight, said Deputy Secretary of State Jacob Lew. "We're very much aware of the problems that developed in Iraq and are working to avoid outcomes that would be problematic," he said.
In a January cable reported by The New York Times, U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, who runs the embassy, questioned whether the military could meet its timeline for turning over the country to Afghan forces.
The ambassador and his team "have made impressive progress," the report acknowledges. It attributes some problems to the rapid expansion of the embassy's staff, which is growing from 320 to 900 with 100% turnover from the Bush administration. Other key criticisms:
• Frequent visits by senior officials and members of Congress divert diplomats from crucial counterinsurgency tasks.
• The embassy doesn't have enough people to carry out anti-corruption and outreach initiatives.
• No one on the public affairs and website staff speaks Pashto, the language of the areas being contested in the counterinsurgency.
The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction recently blasted the State Department's oversight of a $2.5 billion contract with DynCorp to train Iraq's police force, saying invoices were paid with no assurance the work was done correctly. The problem is being repeated in Afghanistan, this new report says.
Because of security concerns, diplomats often can't visit training sites or other U.S. taxpayer-funded projects, the report says. Just five contract officers in Kabul "cannot provide effective oversight" of $1.8 billion in contracts, the report says. Two officers have since been added, Hayden said.
The report also undercuts a key example cited by Holbrooke as part of his pledge to reduce the government's reliance on contractors for reconstruction and aid projects. In discussing that change, Holbrooke has repeatedly cited his canceling of a $30 million contract for women's programs. He said he gave the money to the Kabul embassy.
However, the embassy doesn't have people to oversee the grants, the audit says. While the embassy hired more staff, Hayden said, it also had to hire a Washington-based contractor to administer the program because Afghan organizations lacked the "internal controls" required to receive direct U.S. funding.

Eh buddy they took down a couple of my posts again, its something how they'll leave up the craziest things and take down serious posts for no apparent reason.
Wolf could have cracked into the website I spoke of in a heartbeat, but I doubt if he could have told me how to do it on here. That's some complicated stuff. And old Wolf doesn't even think he's the best thing to come along since Vaseline.
@Nope; if you see this will you tell me why they do that, if you know, please? All I did was ask Wolf a question and poot it was gone.

Some interesting history in that area. Confederate Edmund Kirby Smith invaded Kentucky via the Cumberland Gap and at the Battle of Richmond Ky, they beat Union General William "Bull" Nelson and held over 2000 Union troops captive on the Madison County Court House lawn.
The tide was turned at Richmond by Conf. General Patrick Cleburn who used two companies of "Sharp's Shooters" (later converted to be called Sharp shooters). Prior to the Sharp's rifle the effective range of the smooth bore was about 150 yards, but the Sharp's had a rifled bore and a telescope with a range of up to 1,700 yards.
#92605 Sep 13, 2013
The Sharp's shooters were disliked by both sides and considered "demons" because while just going about their normal camp routines, they could be easily picked off by these snipers from great distances.
One story in my book tells about how these demons casually set up their equipment among regular troops and were asked to go ply their trade some place else. They did not think it appropriate to pick off some enemy just having his morning coffee. I suppose it was much like the old west where it was not appropriate to shoot some guy in the back.

What happened to "All's fair in love and war" ?
#92608 Sep 14, 2013
I suppose when the enemy is hovering around a camp fire trying to make coffee and stay warm from the overnight cold that there is no war at that moment from lower level individuals but more love for humanity and it is more fair to give him-her a fighting chance?
And during the Civil War, the "enemy" was not always men, nor did all the women volunteer for nurse duty. Hundreds of women enlisted (as men) for both Union and Rebel sides from poor, rural areas and were not particularly well educated but enlisted primarily for the rare opportunity to obtain a paying "job" even though they had no real interest one way or the other in the war issues promulgated by the politicians and people of money.(Sound familiar?)
Sarah Rosetta Wakeman (alias Pvt. Lyons Wakeman) of the 153rd New York Volunteers (who was a little better than most at writing) wrote home that she obtained $152 for enlisting and $13 a month and would send more money home when she got it.
Her letter: "Mother, if you are a mind to send me a box of apples and a bottle of cider, you may. The rest of the "boys" are getting boxes of stuff from home... don't mourn for me, for if I never return I hope I shall meet you all in Heaven... The weather is cold and the ground is froze hard, but I sleep as warm in the tents as I would in a good bed. I don't know the difference when I get asleep. We have boards laid down for a floor and our dishes is tin. We all have a tin plate, and a tin cup, and a knife and fork, one spoon. We have to use the floor for a table. I like to be a soldier very well".

This is very interesting. One of my favorite eras is the impact WWII had on the traditional role of women
To fight a war for a country that had not yet given women the right to vote (19th amendment ) is intriguing
#92610 Sep 14, 2013
When I went into the military, there was no particular Patriotic fervor. We only knew there would always be food, clothing, and a roof of some kind over our heads and we would be able to go somewhere and have passage into adulthood and not be left behind to be forever considered to be a "wimp". And that would be better than trying to subsist on no job or a low paying job (if we could even get one).
We had no idea why there was even a war or where it was being fought geographically? I don't think anything much has changed and wars would be different or end entirely if the recruits were more experienced with "life".
#92611 Sep 14, 2013
I suppose it was and is all about survival and having a job and has certain similarities to young people fighting today for a country where in most places they can't even legally buy a beer.

The Open Championship has been hit by the economic downturn like all other major sporting events, but it will go ahead in July at Turnberry as planned and the cost will not mean less money being spent by the Royal and Ancient Club on promoting the game worldwide.
The R&A chief executive, Peter Dawson, yesterday dismissed as "media hype" a report that nearby Royal Troon had been put on standby because of concerns over whether renovation work at Turnberry's five-star hotel would be completed on time. "That has absolutely never been discussed," said Dawson after the R&A was given assurances by the hotel's owners Leisurecorp that 181 rooms in the resort, primarily for players, would be ready. Corporate hospitality, however, is down 15 to 20 per cent and future sponsorship is uncertain, with long-term backer Royal Bank of Scotland reported to be dramatically scaling down its involvement.
But Dawson stated: "I know they are going to continue in sports sponsorship and we very much hope the Open remains part of that portfolio."
No prize-money figures have been announced for July's championship, but Dawson added: "We have a duty to maintain the event at the forefront of world golf and prize-money is part of that equation. The Open has been the most lucrative of all the four majors in dollar terms for some years, but with the dollar exchange rate having swung back that's a position that is probably going to be difficult for us to maintain.
"Our business model is to have, within the ethos of the Open, as commercially successful an event as we can to finance amateur events, governance of the game and also to have money to support worthy golf projects around the world."
Help is being offered to attract more fans to the event, with £250 being paid to clubs who organise coaches bringing 30 or more people.
The director of championships, David Hill, observed that, while watching rugby at Murrayfield would cost £70 for an 80-minute game, anybody paying the £55 daily entrance fee at Turnberry could see the world's top players in action from dawn to dusk.

The Government announced yesterday that it was tightening up arrangements for national curriculum tests in English, maths and science for 11- and 14-year-olds. The move follows allegations that schools opened papers in advance and coached pupils for this year's tests - one headteacher resigned after confessing that he had done so.
From next summer, schools will not be allowed to open papers until one hour before they are used and local authorities will carry out new spot checks to make sure that the papers have not been opened before the test date.
Papers will be sent out only a few days in advance of the tests instead of a fortnight early, and headteachers will have to sign declarations that tests in the three subjects for 11- and 14-year-olds have been administered properly and fairly.
At present, heads may open papers early if they have permission from the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority, which oversees the tests. They are allowed to do so if they need to make special provision for pupils, for instance translation in maths and science for children who do not speak English.
Ministers need to ensure that the tests are rigorous because the Government has staked its reputation on achieving challenging targets based on national test results. Estelle Morris, the education minister, said that she was sure that the overwhelming majority of teachers did not cheat but the Government needed to have absolute confidence in the results.
Government exam advisers who investigated cheating allegations after this year's tests in May looked into 35 cases in which examiners were suspicious because pupils in the same school were giving very similar answers. In five cases, including that of the head who confessed, there was clear evidence of cheating. In a further 13 there was some evidence but not enough for local authorities to discipline a teacher.
One reason why reports of cheating are much more widespread than this may be that schools are so nervous about their position on the league table that they accuse others of breaking the rules. Officials who this summer investigated an anonymous letter accusing a Shropshire school of cheating found that it had no foundation.
Doug McAvoy, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said that schools must not break the rules but added: "The fact that the Government has seen fit to act indicates the impossibly high stakes attached to the tests."
Ms Morris said: "Rigorous tests together with teachers' assessments of pupils are essential in monitoring progress towards our demanding literacy and numeracy targets.
"We regard the integrity of tests as paramount and it is essential that they are fair - and seen to be fair - to all pupils."
But David Hart, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: "No one in their right mind would object to any reasonable steps by the Government to tighten the administration of next year's tests but there is a danger that the Government is taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut."Reuse content

Policing Protest by Donatella Della Porta
Book DescriptionThe way in which police handle political demonstrations is always potentially controversial. In contemporary democracies, police departments have two different, often conflicting aims: keeping the peace and defending citizens' right to protest. This collection analyzes a wide array of policing styles. The contributors look at cultures and political power to examine the methods, the trends and cycles, and the consequences of policing protest. Focusing on Italy, France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, Spain, the United States, and South Africa, the contributors explore the various police strategies of coercion, negotiation, and information surveillance. They discuss protest policing in relation to specific countries' governments and consider public opinion, media, and the police's perception of reality to illustrate the reciprocal ways in which police and protest are defined. Moreover, this volume considers the profound changes from the forceful 1960s to a "softer" 1990s, including the consequences of this move.

This review is from: Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)
Pros: It looks decent, it's stable, and I got used to it pretty fast.
Cons: Nothing is improved as far as I can tell.
This was my fault, but I didn't realize you can't upgrade your motherboard with Windows 8. I switched the mobo and CPU, and Windows booted right up. "Awesome." And then it wouldn't activate because my code had already been used on my previous motherboard. The number I was given for activation support didn't work either, so I guess I will have to upgrade to 7.
Other Thoughts: It's not like Microsoft didn't make money off 7 or XP, I don't see why this new "feature" helps them much, and it didn't help me.READ FULL REVIEW

Tuesday's general election delivered yet another swift seismic shift in Minnesota politics.
The Minnesota DFL Party now controls both bodies of the Minnesota Legislature. Democrats hold a 73-61 majority in the Minnesota House and a 39-28 majority in the Minnesota Senate. In addition to holding both bodies of the Minnesota Legislature, the DFL also controls all statewide constitutional offices, including governor. This is the first time in 22 years that one party has controlled both bodies of the legislature and the governor's office.
What fueled the huge DFL victory? Although there are many opinions, two factors probably had the most to do with the quick about-face:
Minnesota voters defeated both constitutional amendments placed on the ballot. The first proposed amendment, known as the "Marriage Amendment," would have exclusively recognized marriage as the union between one man and one woman. The second amendment, commonly referred to as the "Voter ID" amendment, would have required voters to produce a valid government-issued photo identification card at the ballot box. Pre-election polling indicated that Voter ID would pass and that the marriage amendment's fate would be determined by a narrow margin. However, both measures were defeated by unexpectedly comfortable margins.
Reflecting on the DFL sweep of the Minnesota Legislature, current Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers said, "There is no such thing as a safe seat in Minnesota." Outside of the urban core, that appears to be true. Just two years ago the same maxim gave Republicans a reason to celebrate, as Minnesotans voted them into control of the House and Senate while narrowly electing a Democratic governor.
Traditionally a blue state, Minnesota has become more purple, though it still remains geographically blotchy. In 2012, the DFL remained safe in their traditional areas of strength, urban areas and the Iron Range. Likewise, Republicans retained control in their comfort zone between I-94 and Hwy 10 to the north and west of the Twin Cities. The last two elections have seen battles in the areas bordering those regions, many of them in southern Minnesota and suburban areas.
In 2010, Republicans gained ground in the 8th and 2nd Congressional Districts, in addition to many suburban areas. This led to a seven seat majority in the Senate (37-30) and a ten seat cushion in the House (72-62). After Tuesday night, the DFL now controls the Senate (39-28) and the House (73-61) by similar margins. Not only did the DFL take back much of the ground gained by Republicans in 2010, but moved further into Republican turf in the 7th Congressional District. In the metro area, previously Republican areas surrounding Edina, Minnetonka, Eagan and Woodbury all flipped to support DFL candidates. Interestingly, there is no Republican representation for any portion of the Twin Cities inside the I-494/694 beltway other than a few precincts along the western border.
Many of the aforementioned areas saw victory margins for Republicans of less than 1,000 votes in 2010, and the same is true for the DFL this year. In those battleground seats the margins were particularly tight in the House. Highlighting that fact was the contest in House district 8B between incumbent Mary Franson (R) and Bob Cunniff (DFL), who were separated by only 1 vote (triggering an automatic recount). However, some districts thought to be polling in favor of Republicans supported DFL candidates by substantial margins. In Woodbury, incumbent Ted Lillie (R) lost to challenger Susan Kent (DFL) by just under 2,000 votes, or 4.4%. In Eagan, Ted Daley (R) lost to former Senator and 2012 challenger Jim Carlson (DFL) by nearly 3,000 votes, or 7.4%.
As noted earlier, the two constitutional amendments may have not only driven more voters to the polls, but it could have influenced their vote for state Senate and House candidates as well. A side-by-side comparison of the legislative outcomes and the Voter ID amendment reveal an interesting result: areas of the state opposing the amendment also voted in large part for DFL candidates in legislative contests. Similarly, those in favor of the amendment voted for Republicans.
All eight Minnesota members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar faced re-election Tuesday. Klobuchar handily won her race against Republican Kurt Bills, winning over 65% of the vote. Incumbent Representatives Tim Walz (DFL-1); John Kline (GOP-2); Erik Paulsen (GOP-3); Betty McCollum (DFL-4); Keith Ellison (DFL-5); and Collin Peterson (DFL-7) also had strong showings in their respective victories.
The same cannot be said of Chip Cravaack (GOP-8) and Michele Bachmann (GOP-6).
In 2010, Cravaack stunned the political world in an upset victory over long-serving Congressman Jim Oberstar. This election, the tables were turned as Cravaack lost to DFLer Rick Nolan by nine points. Despite garnering 27,019 more votes than he did in 2010, Cravaack could not overcome the turnout and support Nolan received from the northern part of the district. In the DFL stronghold of St. Louis County, 30,000 more citizens voted than in 2010, giving Nolan an almost equivalent advantage of over 29,000 votes. By comparison, only 31,183 total voters turned out in Chisago County, Cravaack's home turf.
Ten million dollars was poured into the district by outside groups, and it was pretty evenly spent between the two candidates on attack ads. The negative tone of the campaign has motivated Nolan, who has congressional experience after serving from 1975-1981, to take on campaign finance reform as his first initiative when he arrives in D.C. next year.
In the 6th Congressional District, Bachmann eked out a victory over businessman Jim Graves, with the race called in the late hours of the morning after Election Day. Despite a significant fund-raising advantage, Bachmann beat Graves by just 1.2%, or approximately 4,300 votes in the state's "reddest" district.
Hostility toward Bachmann's frequent gaffes and national aspirations versus Graves' story of the hometown kid who became a millionaire made this race one to watch and Bachmann's closest re-election contest to date.
The new DFL majorities moved quickly naming their respective leadership teams. In the Senate, former Minority Leader Tom Bakk (Cook) has been elected to be the new Majority Leader. The caucus also selected Rod Skoe (Clearbrook) as the new chair of the powerful Tax Committee, Dick Cohen (Saint Paul) to chair the Finance committee, Katie Sieben (Newport) as Assistant Majority Leader, and Sandy Pappas (Saint Paul) as President of the Senate.
On the House side, former Minority Leader Paul Thissen (Minneapolis) will be the Speaker of the House and Erin Murphy (Saint Paul) was selected as Majority Leader. Murphy becomes just the third woman to hold this post in the House of Representatives.
The two bodies are hoping to announce additional committee structure and membership information before Thanksgiving
DFL Governor Mark Dayton and DFL legislative leadership held press briefings this past Wednesday and attempted to set a moderate tone for the upcoming 2013 legislative session. They promised that they would move deliberately and develop positions that would help Minnesota's economy. On the subject of taxes, Gov. Dayton said fairness is "not a slogan, but a conviction." Most interpreted that to mean he will be proposing a number of tax reform proposals, including raising income taxes on high wage earners by creating a fourth income tax rate tier. DFL leadership was more measured in their comments on changes in the tax code and increasing tax rates.
One thing is for sure, for the first time in well over a decade taxes have risen to the top of everyone's agenda and will be the centerpiece of the budget debate during the 2013 legislative session.
Tuesday night's general election results deliver with it a political landscape we have not seen for some time. A divided state government over the last 22 years has meant neither party enjoyed overwhelming success advocating for their respective initiatives and reforms. Previous DFL legislative majorities were unable to pass major reform legislation in a number of areas, such as the 1993 Minnesota Care health care reform legislation, the 2001 tax bill that decreased overall tax burdens in a number of categories and the 2008 health care reform measures.
The newly elected DFL majorities shift the playing field in a number of areas. Gov. Dayton will want the next two years to be about building a legacy of change. The following is a quick rundown of areas where we see the legislature taking up issues that have been dormant for years:
Although we talk a lot at the Capitol about taxes, specifically tax increases and tax reform, there has always been a backstop. In recent memory, DFL majorities routinely passed numerous big tax bills and sent them to then-Governor Pawlenty, knowing full well he would veto each measure. The other non-starter has been the unwillingness of legislators in suburban or swing districts (suburban, rural or otherwise) to support bold tax initiatives when it really mattered.
With a DFL governor sitting in the west wing of the State Capitol, the reality is that now DFL legislators no longer have the luxury of passing a piece of legislation symbolically. Passing a tax reform or tax increase bill and sending it to Gov. Dayton now matters and has consequences. DFL leadership in the House and Senate will have a tough job selling a tax increase bill to those newly elected suburban DFLers who helped take back both bodies.
Bottom line: It is not going to be easy for the DFL majorities to pass either a tax increase or tax reform measures.
Everyone loves supporting public education. But every education special interest—and there are many—expresses their love in a different way. The public teachers unions made a significant investment in the 2012 election. They will have a say in what the agenda will be for the next two years. They will also be pressed by a growing chorus of education reform groups who have the ear of legislators from the right and left.
Teacher evaluations, teacher tenure and parent preference will all be on the agenda competing with two issues that matter most to the education industry: increased public education funding and smaller class sizes.
Gov. Dayton has been slow to show his hand on education reform ideas and initiatives. With a plethora of Democrats around the country leading the education reform debate, watch to see if Dayton breaks out of the pack or helps protect the status quo.
Commerce, Financial Services and Health Care
Consumer protection issues will certainly move to the forefront with the new DFL majorities. Banking, insurance, finance and health care reform measures will all have a sympathetic ear with this newly elected crowd. Further, all doubt has now been removed as to whether Minnesota will build and implement a health care insurance exchange. DFLers will put together a comprehensive legislative package addressing implementation of the health care insurance exchange during the 2013 legislative session.
These issues often highlight the tension that can exist between the DFL goals of economic development and environmental protection. The DFL will dust off lots of old ideas, but they will also bring new ones forward. These will include clean water standards for developing industries like strategic metal mining and sand fracking. Where progress was recently being made to streamline environmental permit processing, attempts could be made to slow that process down. Energy development will go back to the discussion of alternative energy—remember Minnesota wind?—that will be tied to job creation in our outstate areas.
The left will also place a renewed focus on environmental contamination and cleanup issues, areas they feel have been ignored for far too long.
The backdrop to the environmental debate will be the explosion of mining, energy, oil and gas jobs in the Midwest, a powerful message that will give Gov. Dayton and DFL leadership pause as they navigate these difficult waters.
Gov. Dayton, U.S. Senator Al Franken and all 134 seats of the Minnesota House of Representatives will be up for election in 2014. Senator Franken undoubtedly has a heavy lift. Gov. Dayton has never been re-elected to anything, and has publicly stated that he will no longer fund his campaign with personal funds. That puts tremendous pressure on the DFL establishment over the next two years.
Republican leadership in the Minnesota Senate and House will be evaluating ways to quickly regroup and challenge the DFL at every turn. Given the size of this electoral shakeup, it is difficult at this time to pinpoint with any certainty a "short list" of potential Republican nominees who might challenge Dayton and Franken. It is also worth mentioning that the state Republican Party continues to experience substantial financial difficulty.
Last Tuesday's election results surprised most of the pundits. Polling data made a good case for the House staying under Republican control, with the DFL in a dead heat with Republicans for the Senate. Only Wednesday morning did analysts and candidates learn what Minnesota was really feeling. For political operatives, Wednesday was also the first day of the 2014 campaign.

When Jason Harvey was coming out of high school in 2005, he was the 24th best receiver in the nation. Harvey considered Penn State, West Virginia, Iowa, Georgia and Pittsburgh before settling on a junior college, probably to get his grades up. A Penn State message board says that Harvey will transfer to Akron. A ZipsNation.org poster alerted me to this. It doesn't look all that credible, but who knows.
Harvey's 4.4 speed could be lethal. If true, he'll fight for playing time with Jabari Arthur and J. Sharps.
In addition, the Akron Beacon Journal reports that Darryl Henderson, a 6-foot-5 receiver from Florida has verballed with Akron over Nebraska and Central Florida. He will add another weapon for 2006, unless he's redshirted.
A week ago, someone asked me what the Zips need to recruit most. I said wide receiver. If we get these two guys, I'll be satisfied.
