Yossi Benayoun sat down for an interview with Arsenal Player this week and you can watch the video clip now by clicking on the link to the right.
Alternatively, scroll down this page for a transcript of this exclusive interview with our Israeli international.
Yossi, you've been here for just over two weeks now, how are you finding life at Arsenal?
I'm enjoying every moment. I've been involved in two games, I have enjoyed every minute and hopefully it will continue to be like this.
You said it was a very easy choice to join Arsenal, why is this such an attractive club for you?
It is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. I have been lucky enough to play for a few big clubs in my career and when I got the chance to play for a big club like Arsenal, it was like a dream come true.
How many of the guys did you know before you came here?
From playing against them, I knew a lot of the players. The only player I knew a little bit was Mikel Arteta because we had mutual friends in Liverpool so we had met a few times. It's never been easy playing against them so it is good to be with them now!
Of the players that you didn't know, who has really impressed you?
I watch a lot of football so I know a lot of them. There is a lot of quality and a lot of young players in the team. Unfortunately Jack Wilshere, who is one of the best players in England for me, is injured. There are a lot of young players, Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott, that I'm sure will step up and prove themselves at Arsenal.
So it's a season-long loan to start with, what are you plans beyond that? Do you want to make this a permanent move?
Of course, I think any player would want to do that. But, for me, the main thing is concentrating on having a good season and trying to take this opportunity with both hands. I'm sure, if I do well, the connection will continue together.
You're 31 now - how many years do you think you have got left at the very top?
I hope a few more. In some countries 31 is a bit old but in England it is the height of your career and you still have lot of years in front of you. Look at Lampard and Gerrard who are about the same age.
I suppose there is a real hunger to win something here as well?
Yeah, that is why you play. Especially when you get to a big club, you want to win trophies. I was very close with Liverpool and was also very close with West Ham. When you reach a club like Arsenal, you dream about winning trophies and I'm sure we have the quality to do it.
How have you found your two games so far?
It was great to be involved in a home game. I had only been with the team for two days and I played 30 minutes so I was very pleased. It was important to win that game, especially after what happened at Old Trafford. No matter how you play, you need to get the three points to get your confidence. Dortmund was a very hard game and a point away from home in the Champions League is always a very good result.
We saw you in the middle against Dortmund and we have seen you on the left as well. This formation seems to suit you.
I get opportunities to play in different positions here. In Germany I was in the middle for most of the game and a little bit on the flanks.
Blackburn are next up on Saturday, what are your expectations for the trip to Ewood Park?
It is a very tough place to go. It is always hard to go there. They have had a bad start to the season and only have one point so they want to win games. I'm sure we have the quality to go there. We have to win after a few bad games at the start of the season.
People are saying that it is Manchester United or Manchester City for the title, what is your reaction to that?
I think it is very early but you can understand why they are saying that. At the moment, they are playing the best football and are winning their games quite easily. I still think there are still other teams, like us, Chelsea and Liverpool, who can push them all the way.

Fetal development takes on new meaning in the second trimester. Highlights might include finding out your baby's sex and feeling your baby move.
As your pregnancy progresses, your baby might begin to seem more real. You might hear the heartbeat at your prenatal appointments, and your enlarging abdomen might force you to put away your favorite jeans.
While you're adjusting to the changes in your body, fetal development takes on new meaning. Two months ago, your baby was simply a cluster of cells. Now he or she has functioning organs, nerves and muscles. Find out what happens during the second trimester by checking out this weekly calendar of events. Keep in mind that measurements are approximate.
Thirteen weeks into your pregnancy, or 11 weeks after conception, your baby's intestines have returned to his or her abdomen from the umbilical cord — where they've been growing for the past couple of weeks. Your baby is also beginning to form urine and discharge it into the amniotic fluid.
Tissue that will become bone is also developing around your baby's head and within his or her arms and legs.
Fourteen weeks into your pregnancy, or 12 weeks after conception, your baby's arms have almost reached the final relative lengths they'll be at birth and your baby's neck has become more defined. Red blood cells are forming in your baby's spleen.
Your baby's sex will become apparent this week or in the coming weeks. For girls, ovarian follicles begin forming. For boys, the prostate appears.
By now your baby might be almost 3 1/2 inches (90 millimeters) long from crown to rump and weigh about 1 1/2 ounces (40 grams).
Fifteen weeks into your pregnancy, or 13 weeks after conception, your baby is growing rapidly. Your baby's skeleton is developing bones, which will become visible on ultrasound images in a few weeks. Your baby's scalp hair pattern also is forming.
Sixteen weeks into your pregnancy, or 14 weeks after conception, your baby's eyes have begun to face forward and slowly move. The ears are close to reaching their final position. Your baby might be able to make sucking motions with his or her mouth.
Your baby's movements are becoming coordinated and can be detected during ultrasound exams.
By now your baby might be more than 4 1/2 inches (120 millimeters) long from crown to rump.
Seventeen weeks into your pregnancy, or 15 weeks after conception, toenails have begun to develop. Soon fat stores begin to develop under your baby's skin. The fat will provide energy and help keep your baby warm after birth.
Eighteen weeks into your pregnancy, or 16 weeks after conception, your baby's ears begin to stand out on the sides of his or her head. Your baby might begin to hear.
By now your baby might be 5 1/2 inches (140 millimeters) long from crown to rump and weigh 7 ounces (200 grams).
Nineteen weeks into your pregnancy, or 17 weeks after conception, a greasy, cheese-like coating called vernix caseosa begins to cover your baby. The vernix caseosa helps protect your baby's delicate skin from abrasions, chapping and hardening that can result from exposure to amniotic fluid.
For girls, the uterus and vagina might begin to form this week.

Posted by Gene Leganza on March 24, 2010
This is not really a new blog post. It's a relatively recent post that didn't manage to make it over from my independent blog. I wanted to be sure it made it to my Forrester blog because I will have lots of publications and posts on information architecture coming up and this was a post on my first piece in this series. So here's the original post:
In January, the lead-off piece that introduces my research thread on information architecture hit our web site. It's called Topic Overview: Information Architecture. Information architecture (IA) is a huge topic and a hugely important one, but IA is really the worst-performing domain of enterprise architecture. Sure, even fewer EA teams have a mature — or even active — business architecture practice, but somehow I'm inclined to give that domain a break. Many, if not most, organizations have just started with business architecture, and I have a feeling business architecture efforts will hit practical paydirt fairly quickly. I'm expecting to soon hear more and more stories of architects relating business strategy, goals, capabilities, and processes to application and technology strategies, tightly focusing their planning and implementation on areas of critical business value, and ultimately finding their EA programs being recognized for having new relevance, all as a result of smart initial forays into business architecture in some form.

A Muslim New Zealand shopkeeper noticed two women chatting in his cafe. He went over to them and decided they were Jewish. After inquiring about their background, he discovered one was an Israeli who was visiting her sister in New Zealand. Mustafa Tekinkaya decided he had to strike a blow for Hamas and the Palestinian people in Gaza so he ordered both women to leave his cafe. Natalie Bennie and Tamara Shefa filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission that their rights were violated. Can we assume Mr. Tekinkaya decides he doesn't like gay customers and therefore they must leave his business establishment?
Ironically, Ms. Bennie had her own view of the Israeli invasion of Gaza: 'I'm not a big supporter of Israel at the moment. But, he didn't even bother finding out what my opinion was." The problem with classifying and categorizing people is the inability to grasp that within any group there is divergence of views. The New Zealand Human Rights Commission intends to take action, but Mr. Tekinkaya is unmoved and believes he is absolutely correct. No wonder he supports Hamas.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply. It all make sense to me now.
Let me add more information, if this helps. From the Current Tables, current velocity is 3.48 Ebb, and Ebb direction is 266 degrees TRUE.
Does this help? Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Well...yeah, Information regarding a 3.5 kn current would have been useful.
Any more rabbits in the hat?
So this is a compound problem... Set and Drift... and Leeway.
You need to compute the course to steer using the set and drift.... This is where your, time, distance and speed now become a factor....
Then apply the leeway... after.... you figure out the CST from the set and drift problem
Good luck...
Don't forget to use TVMDC..to go from true to mag..or visa versa..
Normally when I see these course books...they give you a deviation table to work with too...keep looking..I'll bet you it's there somewhere.
here's a you tube video for ya ... he could have done this a little better..but you get the idea.
Hi All,
Thanks so much for your help. This question is actually from a home study workbook from a sailing school in the West Coast (SF Bay Area) for a U.S. Sailing Coastal Navigation certification. The problem is written by the school.
The problem states that "the winds are west at 22 knots when you depart point A at 1530 assuming a leeway of 4 degrees and a boat speed of 6 knots.
The variation on the chart is 14 degrees East. There is no mention of deviation.
The track from A to B is 145 degrees magnetic.
My assumption (correct me if I'm wrong) is the wind is coming from the WEST as opposed to from the EAST.
Let me add more information, if this helps. From the Current Tables, current velocity is 3.48 Ebb, and Ebb direction is 266 degrees TRUE.
Does this help? Thanks.
I thinkthat JRD is probably correct and the OP is trying for a captains license or taking Coastal Nav from ASA which is I think more difficult. It is all fine to suggest that he just look at it or use his GPS, but that does not answer his question.
Leeway and current set can be calculated. I suggest Pyzel's Coastal Navigation book which is used for ASA. I took the course but lent the book to someone and have never gotten it back. I admit that I do just look at it and use my GPS, but also keep paper charts and plot for the practice. I just don't worry about Leeway or set as usually my next mark is not more than 50 miles away.
OP, know that there are some incorrect answers in both Pyzel and the USCG books, as well as many of the ASA books.
|The OP's problem sounds like it's right out of the USCG's questions for a Master's license. Lot's of irrelevant data and lack of real (modern) world information, and an incorrect answer just to drive you nuts!
|I think the point is that once you have calculated leeway a few times you will then have a feeling for your boat's leeway and how it relates to wind conditions.
Puzzling problem...never started a journey knowing what my leeway would be (in degrees!) before I started out. Don't have a leeway instrument. A good substitute is bearing to next waypoint feature of gps as billyruffin described above.
In the real world this problem's solution can be estimated prior to getting underway, and course to steer can be adjusted to approximately offset the effects of set and drift due to wind and current by observation, experience and history, but after you are underway, it is worked out by calculating set and drift, which can occur due to current or wind.
By getting a fix and comparing it to your dead reckoned position, using your observed speed through the water and course for the time since your last fix, you establish a vector between the DR and the new fix. The vector's length is the distance traveled in the time since last fix (distance divided by time is speed, or set) and the direction of the vector is the drift, the direction of motion caused by current and wind. If you draw a vector from your original fix to the new fix, that is the actual course and speed you have made good.
The difference in bearing of your DR position from your last fix, and the bearing of your new fix from your last fix, is the amount you have to adjust your course on the opposite side from your steered course to offset the drift.
If you adjust your course in the direction opposite you are simply forcing your ship to make the same amount of speed to the right (or left) of your desired course that the set is pushing you to the left (or right).
Or if the destination is 2.9nm away, or 5800 yards, and a physical feature, look at it through the binoculars and steer toward it. Just as in the case steering bearing to waypoint using GPS, you will be steering a curved track rather than a rhumb line course, but my guess is after a few minutes you can estimate how much you have to crab to offset the wind and current. Another method when you can physically see the destination is to check the true bearing to it every few minutes. If it draws left, you are steering too much to the right; if it draws right, you are steering too much to the left.
|I like this simplistic answer from acunningham to just counter the four degrees of leeway, but I'm curious. In a real world scenario who gives you the original information that your leeway is 4 degrees unless you calculated it from an earlier point and then a fix on your new position?
|149 degrees!
Originally Posted by billyruffn View Post

Put the coordinates of Point B in the GPS, note the bearing thereto, use that heading to start and after a few minutes note the COG on the GPS. Adjust your heading so that the COG equals the bearing to Point B.
And dont tell me about losing power and GPS failure and all that. If that happens youre just SOL.
PS -- it helps to plot a line from A to B on a real chart so you can be sure there are no hard things lurking along the rhumb line.
But seriously, in small boats its hard enough to steer within 10 degrees of the desired heading. So pre-planning a few degrees of windage is an interesting exercise, but it shouldnt replace knowing where you are and where youre going in real time. Thats what makes GPS so great!

Sometimes we need help getting through the difficult times in our lives. We know that we need to change our perspective, gain positive insights, put our lives in order or simply just get motivated. For some of us, we are aware of the difficulties that our parents or families have been through and we want to be sure not to approach life the same way they did. I can assist you in your journey to explore, understand, change and grow.

I am the only person in Western New York that practices the Contemporary approach of Self Psychology. This approach is very popular in larger cities but has not taken over our geographical area yet. It is based on understanding and empathy and not the old approach of confrontation and invalidation: which only makes patients angry, understandably angry, causing them to be given nasty unflattering diagnoses when the therapist does not know how to understand this anger.

Sometimes in life you just feel overwhelmed and don't know how to cope. Maybe you're feeling very anxious or stressed. Maybe you're feeling depressed or just not like your usual self. Perhaps you've experienced a break up or another difficult event and are struggling with how to move on. Psychotherapy can help. I provide a comfortable supportive space in which to help you get reoriented and back on your feet. I assist you in shifting the behavior patterns and negative beliefs that may be preventing you from living a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Together, I'll help you move through the process of self-discovery, growth and change. Please don't wait. I'd really love to hear your story.

While I am not the guy who celebrates new years eve too much, I do like the beginning of a new year, as January has a much slower pace as December, giving me time to think about what I want to achieve in the new year.
My personal goals are to become a better data scientist. I like this picture about Data Science found on the Wikipedia Article. I could improve myself in any of the fields.
|Wikipedia: Data Science
In some of the fields I will naturally improve myself doing projects with customers (e.g. domain expertise), others may require self-study (should not have slept in math and statistics classes...
While I'm practicing data science every day, I think it is good to sometimes take a step backwards and learn more about the theory behind it, especially when there is a lot going on in areas like machine learning and predictive analytics. Applying these algorithms requires to understand the theory behind them.
Machine learning and predictive analytics will be a hot topic for me this year. More and more customers are looking to get more value out of their unstructured data. So far customers have been more in reactive mode, like doing manual queries on historic data. Some of the more advanced customer have started to write their own algorithms. Giving them the tools to automatically detect anomalies and predict the future is the logical next step. This is one area where we are currently investigating and talking to domain experts, to get more insights and come up with a good solution.
Another area where we are expanding into is Application Performance Monitoring. Systems are getting more and more complex, and it is really hard to find root causes. Last week, we signed a partnership agreement that I am very happy with.
Readers of my blog know that beside Splunk there is another Application I'm a huge fan of. Yes, I'm talking about AppDynamics. I'm very happy that we now have a tool in our portfolio, that perfectly complements Splunk. There are almost no overlaps in functionality. AppDynamics provides the insights into an application, while Splunk has the view from the outside.
Together with the new AppDynamics Splunk App, we now have the perfect tag-team... Stay tuned!

Also a nice forest nearby for meditation and the Alps on the horizon (I am going there first for some walking exercise). The funny thing is that Freising is literally the "heart of German catholicism" and the Vihara is about 100 meters from the church in which the current Pope was ordained as a priest! So it is understandable that the local church representatives are getting somewhat disturbed by the Buddhist dhammadutas ("missionaries") moving in so close to them... and walking on Pindapata every day in the old town as well. History is being reversed.

Florida Men and Women Swimming Get Sweep Over FSU
Gainesville, Fla.-The Florida Gator swimming teams returned from a six-week competition hiatus to sweep Florida State in front of an overflow crowd on Saturday at the O'Connell Center. The third-ranked UF men (5-0, 3-0 SEC) defeated No. 16 FSU (3-1) by a score of 180-118 and the fifth-ranked Florida women (3-2, 2-1 SEC) took down No. 23 FSU (6-2) by a total of 153-147.
The Gators showed fight after a tough six weeks of training as every UF swim was slower than the results from the Fall season. Florida men led from start to finish, winning all of the freestyle, breaststroke and relay events. The Gator women needed to battle back after Florida State placed 1-2 in both sprint events. The gator women finished strong with wins in the 200 backstroke, 200 breaststroke and 100 butterfly. A second place finish in the 200 free relay clinched the final score for the Orange and Blue.
Senior Brad deBorde (Longwood, Fla.) led the Gators with a pair of sprint victories and was on both the first place 400 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay. Fresh off of a silver medal at the European Short Course Championships, freshman Mitch D'Arrigo (Rome, Italy) touched first in the 200 free and 500 free. Junior Carlos Omana (Miami, Fla.) also had two wins, reaching the wall first in the 400 individual medley and the 1000 free.
Senior Elizabeth Beisel (North Kingstown, R.I.) swept the backstroke events and completed a grueling back-to-back double with a second place finish in the 200 breaststroke immediately after winning the 200 back. Senior Hilda Luthersdottir (Hafnarfjordur, Iceland) posted wins in both breaststroke events and swam the breaststroke leg of the first place 400 medley relay. The Gator distance group swept the 1000 freestyle with a 1-2-3-4 finish behind senior Alicia Mathieu (Marlborough, Conn.).
Sounds Bites:
"It is nice to have a win, but we were real sloppy. We kind of anticipated that it would be tough for us today. We started a really good training cycle and we were a bit rusty today. There were things that we didn't do too well, but we raced tough. I was proud of the women's side. We have a couple cases of the flu running through our team and we were running back and forth to the locker room. They stayed on top of their game and I am real proud of the efforts. We've got some work to do. This is about how good we can be in February and March. We've got to get to that point."- Head Coach Gregg Troy
"I am glad we came out on top after losing to FSU last year. It was definitely good to come back this year and win, especially because it is my senior year and the last time that I will have a chance to go against FSU. I think we raced pretty tough. We're pretty tired. Christmas training is pretty hard for us. We didn't know what to expect today. We had a mini-meet within our team before the meet, so we were pretty tired today. It is definitely a good indicator of where we are right now and where we will be swimming at the end of the year."- Senior Elizabeth Beisel
"I knew about the UF-FSU rivalry well before I was in college. To come here, and see the stands full of FSU and Gator fans, is really cool and it shows that this is one of the best rivalries in the country."- Beisel
The Streak Goes On: The Gator men have now gone 20 straight dual meets without dropping a dual, a record that dates back to Jan. 21, 2011.
Series History: With the wins, Florida men lead Florida State 53-23-1 all-time and Florida women lead the Seminoles 40-3 all-time.
Event Breakdown: The Gator men touched first in 12 of 14 events. Florida and FSU both split the events at seven individual events and one relay event apiece. FSU swept all four diving events on Thursday.
Relay Madness:
* Florida women opened up the meet with a win in the 400 medley relay (3:42.27) behind the foursome of sophomore Sinead Russell (Burlington, Ontario, Canada), Luthersdottir, senior Ellese Zalewski (Melbourne, Australia) and sophomore Natalie Hinds (Midland, Texas). The group set the school record at the Ohio State Invite in the event in a time of 3:30.27.

Inglourious Basterds [Blu-ray]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
A group of hardened Nazi killers stalk their prey in Nazi-occupied France as a Jewish cinema owner plots to take down top-ranking SS officers during the official premiere of a high-profile German propaganda film. As far as Lt. Aldo Raine -- aka "Aldo the Apache" (Brad Pitt) -- is concerned, the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Raine's mission is to strike fear into the heart of Adolf Hitler by brutally murdering as many goose-steppers as possible, or die trying. In order to accomplish that goal, Lt. Raine recruits a ruthless team of cold-blooded killers known as "The Basterds" which includes baseball-bat-wielding Bostonian Sgt. Donnie Donowitz (aka "The Bear Jew," Eli Roth) and steely psychopath Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger), among others. When the Basterds' secret rendezvous with turncoat German actress Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) goes awry, they learn that the Nazis will be staging the French premiere of "The Nation's Pride," a rousing propaganda film based on the exploits of German hero Fredrick Zoller (Daniel Brhl), at a modest theater owned by Jewish cinephile Shoshanna Dreyfus (Mlanie Laurent), posing as a Gentile after the brutal murder of her family by the ruthless Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). As the Basterds hatch an explosive plan to take out as many Nazis as possible at the premiere, they remain completely oblivious to the fact that Shoshanna, too, longs to bring the Third Reich to its knees, and that she's willing to sacrifice her beloved theater in the process.

Critic Reviews

Box Office
"[A]n increasingly entertaining fantasia in which the history of World War II is wildly reimagined....The picture is completely distinctive piece of American pop art with a strong Euro flavor that's new for the director."

Entertainment Weekly
"Quentin Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS is a big, bold audacious war movie....He's the real thing, a director of quixotic delights."
Chicago Sun-Times

Lou Dobbs' Sneering, Fact-Challenged Interview With Jose Antonio Vargas
Lou Dobbs has long [1] been notorious for his attacks [2] on and misinformation [3] about immigrants; he has associated with an organization designated as a "hate group [4]" for its anti-immigrant rhetoric. Dobbs continued this pattern in a June 22 interview on his Fox Business show with activist Jose Antonio Vargas -- a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who is also an undocumented immigrant [5].
Dobbs' bluster during the segment was matched only by both his obliviousness to the facts of the immigration debate. (Earlier this week, Dobbs couldn't be bothered to learn even a basic fact [6] about the Obama administration's recent announcement that it will stop deporting some younger undocumented immigrants.)
Vargas discussed the DREAM Act and the challenges facing immigrants who, like him, were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Dobbs repeatedly suggested that undocumented immigrants should just come out of the shadows and apply for citizenship. He failed to understand that the point of the current debate is that they can't.
Early in the interview, Dobbs suggested it's an "oversight" on Vargas' part that he hasn't "applied for citizenship":
VARGAS: So, we have, in this country, about 12 million undocumented people who want to be able to come forward --
DOBBS: I think that's great. Then come forward.
VARGAS: OK. Great.
DOBBS: Because we've got 13 guest-worker programs by which you can enter. We have how many federal programs that you've applied to for citizenship.
VARGAS: Well, actually, I haven't applied for any --
DOBBS: You haven't applied.
VARGAS: No, because I --
DOBBS: Well, isn't that sort of an oversight on your part?
VARGAS: No, actually, sir, it is not.
DOBBS: Why?
Dobbs later said: "I don't understand the problem here. You have an opportunity to become citizens. Do it."
Dobbs is wrong: undocumented immigrants like Vargas do not "have an opportunity to become citizens." As Vargas told Dobbs, there "isn't a system for somebody like" him. That is the whole purpose of the DREAM Act: to create a legal pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.
Next, Dobbs tried to erase the Republican obstructionism that prevented [7] the DREAM Act from passing in 2010. Even as Vargas tried to point out that Senate Republicans blocked the bill, Dobbs thundered that Obama "didn't do a damn thing":
VARGAS: The Republicans in Congress, who have been in some ways obstructionists in this issue --
DOBBS: Who? Who?
VARGAS: Now, remember, it was 36 Republican senators who voted against the DREAM Act in 2010.
DOBBS: A partisan illegal immigrant. This is wild. Keep going.
VARGAS: Oh, no, no. I'm not trying to be partisan. I'm just trying to remember my history. But, by the way, Mr. Dobbs, if I may call you that --
DOBBS: How about the Democratic president who hasn't delivered on his campaign promise?
VARGAS: Because the Congress wouldn't let him do it.
DOBBS: He -- excuse me? He had a Democratic Congress for two years.
VARGAS: The same Congress that the Senate -- the 36 Republican senators in Congress voted against the DREAM Act.
DOBBS: Oh, I'm sorry. Wait a minute. I'm confused.
VARGAS: Yeah.
DOBBS: Because I may not understand the math. He had a majority in the House --
VARGAS: In the House. And the House passed --
DOBBS: Excuse me. Forgive me. You really don't want to waste your time --
VARGAS: Oh, no --
DOBBS: -- arguing reality. The fact is that he had a majority in the Senate, a majority in the House and didn't do a damn thing. Why do you have -- is there some partisan thing welling up in you that doesn't let you accept those facts?
Vargas is correct. Because Democrats did not hold a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, the DREAM Act was stopped by Republican obstructionism several times in 2010. In September 2010, Republicans blocked the DREAM Act [8] as part of a defense bill. And in December 2010, Senate Republicans "doomed" a weeks-long effort to pass the DREAM Act, as the Associated Press reported at the time [9]:
Senate Republicans yesterday doomed an effort that would have given hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants a path to legal status if they enrolled in college or joined the military.
Sponsors of the Dream Act fell five votes short of the 60 they needed to break through largely GOP opposition and win its enactment before Republicans take over the House and narrow Democrats' majority in the Senate next month.
In addition to having little respect for the facts, Dobbs seemed to have even less respect for his guest, at times talking down to Vargas. When Vargas interjected the word "undocumented" in response to Dobbs' use of the word "illegal," Dobbs was taken aback: "I'm sorry? You want to challenge my language? You use the language you wish; I will mine. Because you know what? The country you want to be a citizen of is a free country. That gives me the right to express myself as I wish and you, without interruption." Later, Dobbs went further, calling the debate over those terms "nonsense" and saying: "You want to have radical discussions about -- you know, Saul Alinsky tactics about controlling language. Accept the language, because it's going to be the language of this country no matter what you think. English. It's going to be straightforward, plainspoken."
It's unclear why Dobbs felt the need to tell a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist to "accept" that the language of the U.S. is "English." But it's long been clear that the terms "illegals" and "illegal immigrants" are offensive to the immigrant community: even Fox [10] reported (on its Fox News Latino site) that "almost half of Latino voters" find the term "illegal immigrant" offensive. So it isn't "nonsense" for Vargas to challenge Dobbs' terminology.
Dobbs also attacked Vargas for noting that illegal immigrants have paid billions in taxes -- "Why do you brag about [paying taxes]?" "Why did you bring it up?" -- and then ended the interview by all but stomping on Vargas' olive branch:
VARGAS: I would love to figure out how -- how you and I, in a conversation, right, and this is what we're doing at Define American [11] -- to have a conversation where we can find a solution. Where we can meet halfway. Where we find, as you said --
DOBBS: We're not going to meet halfway.
VARGAS: Yes. Yes, we will. We will meet halfway.
DOBBS: No, no, no. We're not going to meet halfway. That isn't going to happen. This is not a negotiation. We're a nation of laws. We are a nation of sovereign borders. We are a compassionate and welcoming nation. And where we're going to meet will be at that frontier of American values -- that you want to embrace. You want to be an American, right?
VARGAS: That I do embrace. I do embrace them.
DOBBS: So there's no compromise. Be an American. Embrace America and everything we stand for. And leave the bull wherever that shadow was that you were once in.
You're going to enjoy out in the bright light. It's a great country, don't you think?
VARGAS: It's a beautiful country.

I agree Colt sometimes lets not so good slip out the door. On one of 1911 forums Colt has a Rep posting and helping fix these troubles. He has been havinf people return pistol on Colts nickle and seeing the are properlt fixed. But I agree shouldn't have left factory THat said the single shot Para Ord I had should have escaped from their factory either and it cost more than Colt.
I like Springers but a Colt has a lot less MIM parts and forged not cast also. Springers are not totaly with out faults either. I ve been looking at one but really want a new Colt. As I have 2 already my 1941USGI and the 1972 Combat Commander I bought as my welcome home present in 72 after I finished my 2nd tour in Nam. It's around 98% and I just don't want to carry. I do carry the 41 GI at times .
So little time and money and so many choices.

Spaeth Named Diver of the Week After Career Performance
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After sweeping the diving events in Saturday's Senior Day dual meet against Milwaukee, Green Bay senior Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) was selected as the Horizon League Men's Diver of the Week for Jan. 28-Feb. 3, the conference office announced Tuesday. It marks the first weekly award in Spaeth's career.
Spaeth won both boards in convincing fashion in his final home meet, taking the 3-meter event with a career-best score of 342.07 and winning the 1-meter event with a season-best total of 313.13.
"Mitchell's steady performances this season are a culmination of his personal commitment to becoming a better athlete in each of his four seasons at Green Bay," diving coach Tom Stover said. "He maximizes his time and energy to focus on doing things the right way in each and every practice. He has learned to analyze each dive and put that insight to work, making himself better each time he gets on the boards."

On-loan Arsenal striker Anthony Stokes hit his second successive hat-trick for Falkirk on Saturday and took his phenomenal scoring tally to nine goals in four Scottish Premier League matches.
The prolific 18-year-old has been a sensation since joining the Bairns on a five-month loan deal in September and was named the SPL's Young Player of the Month for October.
Julian Peck, Sports Editor of the Falkirk Herald, has been tracking Stokes' progress since his move north of the border and he's convinced a big future lies ahead for the Dublin-born youngster.
"His all-round play has been superb," Peck told Arsenal.com. "His movement off the ball is fantastic and he's got great skill levels. He's good in the air and his finishing is so clinical and second to none. Every time he gets in front of goal he looks like he's going to score.
"I'd say there was a fair level of expectation when he signed because of the other players we've had from Arsenal like Mark Howard, Patrick Cregg and Stephen O'Donnell. They've all been impressive and you can tell they've been well versed in how to play football. I've been surprised how quickly Stokes has adapted to the SPL, given his age, but from his first showing you knew he was a classy player. He just looked really sharp, settled immediately and didn't look out of sorts. It was like he'd been in the team for a while.
Two weeks after joining the club a Stokes strike at Inverness Caledonian Thistle saw Falkirk progress to the CIS Cup Quarter-Finals for the first time since 1994. In the SPL his goals have seen the club climb to seventh in the table after a poor start which saw them pick up just one point from their first five outings. Unsurprisingly, his exploits have brought hero status.
"The fans love him," said Peck. "Anyone that's going to score goals and move the club up the table like he's done is going to be hero-worshipped. Dunfermline are our big rivals and he was told by the Club captain [Steven Thomson] that if he scored a goal there he'd be a hero. Of course, he scored three. Now, the press are all over him like a rash and everything on Sunday was about him.
"He's a massive part of the team now. Falkirk are a very good young team but Stokes has put the icing on the cake. He adds that final touch."

Today marks 18th day of the 30-day legislative session. Rumors of a special session(s) soon-after swirl the Capitol halls like echoes in the marble naves of the century-old temple of democracy.
The robust beginning of the session and the new spirit of bipartisanship proclaimed by legislative leaders signaled promise of a productive gathering of the 2013 Kentucky General Assembly.
But, alas, the hourglass is emptying, and so far only one bill has made it to the Governor's desk: House Bill 7 that gives bonding authority to the state's public universities to self-finance their own construction projects for student housing and academic and athletic complexes.
With issues ranging from industrial hemp to public pension reform, lawmakers might leave the legislative table in 12 days with their bellies full but their plates un-cleared.
Last week, the House gave approval to a bill aimed at improving the bachelor degree attainment in the east and west coal-producing counties of the state. It's a goal of Pike County Democrat Leslie Combs who pursued (along with House Speaker Greg Stumbo) an attempt last year to make the privately-owned University of Pikeville a state-supported institution for that same reason.
The measure's metamorphosis this session is embodied in House Bill 210 that creates the Kentucky Coal County College Completion Program to award scholarships to students in coal- producing counties to get their bachelor's degree from schools in those areas. Thirty-four Kentucky coal counties are impacted by the bill, 26 in the east and 8 in the west. Bell County Democrat Rick Nelson made an unsuccessful attempt at broadening the bill to let kids in coal-producing counties attend any public institution they choose in the state, but that proposed floor amendment was ruled out of order.
House Minority Floor leader Jeff Hoover referenced some recent studies critical of private universities' matriculation rates and student loan defaults. He said the report ranked the University of Pikeville number one in students who failed to earn a degree after a six-year stint on the campus. He questioned whether Comb's measure would upend that ranking.
Hoover's Republican colleague Ben Waide, co-sponsor of HB 210, redefined the bill as an economic development and answer to the brain drain because it will make it more likely for college graduates in coal-producing counties to remain there and start businesses that will boost those lagging economies. Representative Combs doubled-down on her message for better education and quality of life for those in the margins.
Pike County Democrat Keith Hall opined that the money made available for the scholarships was paid for on the backs of coal miners through coal severance taxes into state coffers. Fifty percent of coal severance tax dollars, he added, is designated to the state general fund. He said the measure is not one of charity, but an opportunity rightly owed to coal producing counties.
The maximum scholarship of $6,000 dollars a year would be awarded for a student attending a participating institution that is a nonprofit, independent college or university. Lesser scholarship awards would be available for college satellite or extension campuses or to those pursuing a degree in-state but outside the designated coal counties. The measure cleared the House 97 to zero, and now waits for assignment to a Senate committee.
In other news…
A measure to allow overseas military to cast absentee ballots electronically was snagged in committee last week. Senate Bill 1 would allow armed forces members, their spouses and others overseas to register to vote and get an absentee ballot electronically. Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes shared a witness table with Senate President Robert Stivers in pitching SB 1, but they disagree over a key provision which would enable military personnel to actually vote online. Stivers omitted the provision via committee amendment but Grimes hopes to restore it.
As it stand now ,SB 1 would let overseas voters get their ballots via fax, e-mail or another secure electronic transmission system, but they would have to mail in their ballots. Secretary of State Grimes said about 300 overseas absentee ballots were not counted in last year's general election in Kentucky for a host of reasons. She asserted that failing to modernize has costs you can literally count.
President Stivers wants to study the issue and ensure the integrity of Internet voting before taking further action.
SB 1, as amended in committee last Thursday by the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee now waits for action by the full Senate membership.
On Friday last week, House Licensing and Occupations chairman Dennis Keene introduced — for discussion only — HB 52 to expand gambling in the Commonwealth. It does not include a constitutional amendment to let voters decide on gaming expansion as some previous efforts contained. Representative Keene says while the exact dollar determination of casino gambling in the state is unknown, economists on staff with the Legislative Research Commission estimate that seven casinos would generate more than $900 million a year, yielding a yearly tax revenue of $295 million. He laid out how the revenue pie would be sliced in today's hearing. Some of the money would be injected into the state's anemic public pension systems.
HB 52 was for discussion only and no vote was taken.

- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomatoes and beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 9-12 minutes or until thickened.
- Unmold polenta; cut into six wedges. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Sprinkle with remaining pepper. Top each wedge with sausage mixture, about 1 cup on each; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by ggazoo69, Jul 13, 2006.
Sure enough, Flip's offense is of the don't penetrate and then try to pitch to the corner variety.
Mo Was Traded Because He Asked To Be Traded For More Playing Time. Joe Wanted To Give Delfino More Time Last Year And Kept Saying He Had Earned It. I Think Carlos Will Get More Time This Year. Also He Can Back Up The Point As He Played Pg In The Past. As Far As The Sl You Have To Take Into Consideration International Players Want To Go Home For The Summer To See Their Families. Basketball Without Borders Is Important Too And Carlos Should Get Credit For Participating..
bball jay: Translation: Delfino's 30% is better than Mo's 60% 16 Mile: Double translation: Delfino's 30% is better than Mo's 60% I wonder what would happen if Joe went out and signed say....Ronald Dupree? Would you consider that a vote of confidence in Delfino or Joe lyin through his teeth again?
Rumor that Dupree was signed as Delfino is being discussed as part of a trade for Harrington. If true I hope we don't lose anyone key like Dyass. Story on M-live.
Is Joe still showing interest in Delfino?
Re: Delfino Signed By Moscow Team Delfino is off the table as it's being reported in spanish papers and on yahoo he's signing a three year 30M deal. He says he only got two serious offers, one from Joe D and the other from the Moscow team..
Re: Delfino Signed By Moscow Team That's gotta be in Rubles or pesos. He's making almost twice as much per year as guys like Posey and Pietrus. Josh Smith may or may not be making that much next year. There's gotta be a catch.
Watson at BadBoys is reporting 8.5M in Euros, translates to more than 10M in dollars. Carlos Delfino spurns NBA for Moscow … | Detroit Bad Boys
Reading that link it appears the total contract is 8.5 mil. Euros as opposed to 8.5 mil per year. That would make much more sense.
I think the catch is that he has to go live in Russia.
From what I've read, that may be an upgrade these days. Russia is flush with oil revenues and is on pace to become a more liberal society than Canada. Russia will be a good place for Delfino. He can start, and expectations will be relatively low. The level of competition is way below him, which should make him a top 10 player if he is healthy.
I'm really sad to see Delfino go but at least Detroit was the only serious offer he had so I had high hopes. The thing is Carlos wants to play and as long as Tayshaun (he who plays every game and high minutes) is ahead of Delfino in the rotation he wouldn't get the minutes he wants. Delfino's contract is for only three years so he could definitely come back to the NBA and he would only be 29 years old and that's still in your prime. Now I need a new favorite player to follow so it looks like Aaron Affalo is shooting to the top of that very small list. Last year I didn't post very much over here because I started following the Raptors because of Fino so I posted at their forum. So it will be good to be back in the fold and be more of a regular poster here.
Khimki Moscow > Detroit Pistons
You are always welcome. You're a great poster! Moscow is offering to pay Delfino to be a #1 or #2 player. In Detroit, there is at best, room for him as a 7th man right now. That's the gap in the salaries. So yes, from Delf's perspective Moscow may be the better opportunity.
He was a favorite of mine early on and just never seemed to recover from the knee issues be it mental or physical... wish him the best.
Have you ever been there?
I actually thought about you when I posted that. No offense. It's just that if you aren't from Russia, it is a pretty drastic move to head over there. It's the kind of move that you want to be compensated for... which he is in a big way. It's not like he would have rejected a $9.5M contract from the Knicks and headed to Russia for $10M. Вы понимаете?
Hey, none taken. He's actually started in Europe, and I guess wanted to go back. The money is good. According to Russian sports sources it is a 3 year deal with a 3rd year being an option (not sure if it's teams or player's) that could be worth 8.5 mil Euros (about $13.5 mil or $4.5 mil/yr).
I'd move there for a fraction of $10M, but then again I average 5.8 points less per game than Carlos does.
It is an interesting dilemma. Carlos always said that he's going to gage whether he's got enough to be an NBA player. Maybe this is an answer.

Skuff 3: Downright Wrong, Scene #03
- : 01/01/2007 |
- : 24:57 min |
- : 3274
Scene Info
Christoph Scharff wanders into the club and joins big-dicked Jason Kingsley and Thom Barron in the middle of some major cock-sucking. These pricks are huge and aren't for the minor league players. Jason bends over to get all of Thom's 10-inch club into his mouth and reveals his huge, white, bubbly ass literally exploding out of a pair of latex chaps. He bends over to let Christoph fuck him with his cock while he continues to gorge his mouth on Thom's dick. The sweat starts to pour as they drive harder and faster. Next, Christoph rolls onto his back to take a return pounding from Jason's 10-incher who promptly fucks the first load out of Christoph. Thom then forces Christoph up and over so he can screw his beautiful white ass. With Jason's cock buried deep in his throat, Christoph can't do anything but moan deep with pleasure. Finally it's time for Thom to get taken and Jason pulls up behind him to fuck him good, opening his hole up for a giant red, ribbed dildo. Thom squats on it, taking a good 10 inches of it in his giant hole. The three continue to jack until they each spew their payload in their hands, bring it to their hungry mouths, and lick their fingers clean.

I am about to start sculpting a set of knee armor ready to mold and make FG copies for sale. The question I have is "If you were to buy a set, would you want the battle damage cast into the pieces?"
The reason I ask is that I have seen various different versions of damage, ESB, ROTJ, MOM etc....
I know I won't be able to please everybody, but I need to know what is generally the most acceptable? As always, our input is appreciated.

Arsenal Ladies progressed to the Quarter-Finals of the Champions League on Wednesday afternoon with an impressive 6-2 aggregate victory over Rayo Vallecano.
Manager Laura Harvey spoke to Arsenal.com after the game and reflected on another fine day for her side.
Laura, could you have asked for a better end to 2011?
It's fantastic. For the year it's been we wanted to end it on a high. I think they deserve that with the trophies they've won and getting to the Quarter-Finals of another Champions League is magnificent.
The team seemed came out strongly in the second half - would you agree?
Even in the first half we created so much but the scoreline could have been a lot higher than what it was again. It was pretty much the same situation last week. Thankfully in the second half we pushed on and we could have even scored more than we actually did. In the end we got the five goals we needed.
And of course, five goals with five different scorers...
That's been a trait of ours over the whole season really, we've not had just the one person scoring 30-odd goals. We've had people chipping in all the way along at crucial times.
This is the Club's ninth consecutive year to the Quarter-Finals - what does that tell you?
It's a magnificent achievement. Men's or women's football, wherever you go, to have that as a stat is frightening. I'm not sure any of the women's teams will ever get to that and thankfully we can be a part of it. The girls who have played here all those years - the likes of Jayne Ludlow, Ciara Grant, Emma Byrne - they can be proud to stand up and say that they've been a part of these teams. I think the youngsters know how much that means to them. You look back at Arsenal Ladies over the years and it is such a phenomenal thing - to get such recognition is what they deserve.
You'll obviously be keen to go further this time around...
You always want to go further. Were we good enough to reach the Final last year? No, but I think we've improved a lot in the last 12 months and I hope we can push on now. I don't think we're far away from that.
Are there any particular opponents you're looking to avoid?
Not really. The Germans are always strong and Lyon's quality speaks for itself but if you want to win the competition you have to beat them at some point. I don't think there any weak teams in the Quarter-FInals - there never are. We've just got to make sure that whoever we get, we are as prepared as possible to beat them.
It's been a fine years for the Ladies - you must be delighted?
I'm over the moon. We've had about two months to reflect on the treble and it's an absolutely magnificent achievement. I look at some of the players in the dressing room and some of them aren't even 20 years of age yet. They've won a treble, reached two Champions League Quarter-Finals and there's so much to come from them still. Everybody writes the older heads off every year and once again they've stood up and been counted when needed. The league was tight but we managed to win it by three points. We then beat our biggest rivals 4-1 in the League Cup Final and won the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over Bristol Rovers. It's brilliant.
Did you ever imagine it would turn out like this?
No! If you'd have stood here and asked me 12 months ago if I thought we'd win the treble I'd say no. That's credit to the players. They wholeheartedly believe that they can win every single game they come into. We don't want to be arrogant or big-headed but we don't even feel as though we've played that well throughout the whole of the year. Some games we did really well, like the Continental Cup Final where I thought we were excellent. But some of the other games where we scraped through we don't even think we performed that great. You can't say that when you've won a treble because people just think you're crazy - but that's just the reality we're at.
So now you must be looking forward to a well-earned rest…
I cannot wait! Just mentally really. Physically we've had those little breaks but now we can refocus, have a bit of a breather and come Christmas time we can start looking at the next stage.
Finally, there's the tour of Japan coming up - the squad must be excited about that.
We're really looking forward to it and with today's victory it turns into a bit of a celebratory tour for the 12 months that we've had. That's what we hoped and what we wanted - thankfully that's what we've got.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Rescue, Foster & Adoption Information (General) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/rescue-foster-adoption-information-general/)
- - 2 year old German Shepherd. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/rescue-foster-adoption-information-general/448673-2-year-old-german-shepherd.html)
2 year old German Shepherd.
I adopted Roxie a few days ago but she's not active at all.
Since adoption, she's been more happy, But she's not quite active for a German.
the only way she'll leave a spot in the house is if you put a leash on her.
otherwise, She'll sleep all day in that same spot.
I spend time trying to train it without a leash but right when i detach the leash from her, she will go running into that same spot she's been at all day long.
I take it on 1 mile walks everyday since i've adopted Roxie.
Any tips how I can get her to open up more?
It's going to take time. In the first few days, honestly, I wouldn't start training. We jumped right into training with Eva and totally overwhelmed her. Once we realized how stressed she was, we backed off for a while.
I mean, if you think about it... I don't know Roxie's story but I'll use Eva's. In Eva's case, she was ditched at a high-kill shelter in late January, picked up by a 'rescue group' on Feb 1st, transported across the state, got shots, and was boarded... then, a foster home was found on Feb 4th, she didn't do well there and was returned to boarding on Feb 6th, then adopted by us on Feb 15th. That's a lot for any dog to go through, which is why it takes at least a few weeks to actually see the dog's personality.
Just remember she is adjusting, and she is probably just really glad to have her very own spot, ya know? She's gotta be exhausted. GSDs do not do well in a shelter environment.
She will open up, just give her time and space. Some folks do a 2-week shutdown; others, like myself, kinda let the dog be and just settle into a routine until they start to seem more comfortable. She will show you her personality and she will come to love you; she's just going through a lot of transition right now.
Of course, as with any rescue, you should bring her to the vet within the first 3 days for a general check-up and to establish her as a patient of the veterinarian. Her lethargy *could* be caused by an injury or infection, and the vet would be able to tell you.
Congrats on the rescue! Any pics?
I found a dog I would love to adopt. She looks just like Max, who crossed over in 03. She is in a pound in Kingman AZ. She is over 1000 miles away. I haven't called on her yet because I need so advice on how to get her to Pomeroy, WA. Please help. Thanks
msstone, you need to post your request as a "new thread" not in someone else's.
Roxie, give this pup several weeks to adjust at a minimum. Right now, if she feels safe in her spot I would just do bonding experiences right there. Teach her to touch your hand with her nose and praise and treat. Just really little things that she can learn to trust you. She has no idea who you are right now or what your intentions are. Slow down and just treat her positively right where she is. You won't know what you have for several weeks or even several months.
Good luck
Thanks DutchKarin. Sorry I am not thinking very clear today.
I totally agree with the others about giving time & space. And enjoy the quiet time LOL. Soon enough she'll be in full swing. Thank you for adopting...

New scoring on dementia screening recommended for more highly educated people
A recent study by researchers from the Texas Tech University Health Science Center and the Mayo Clinic Department of Medicine shows that raising the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE, a standard screening tool for dementia) "cut score" for more highly educated people increases the early accuracy of results for this group. Earlier identification of cognitive decline could aid in their treatment.
Scores on the MMSE decrease with advanced age and less education. The standard MMSE cut score is 24, meaning that a score of 23 or below indicates possible dementia. However, a review of data for 4,248 people, including 1,141 with 16 or more years of education, suggests that a more appropriate cut score for college-educated individuals is 27. Raising the MMSE cut score for this group to 27 increased the accuracy of the classification rate from 89 to 90 percent and provided an "optimal balance" of sensitivity and specificity, the study results reveal. A cut score of 27 identified 70 of the 104 college-educated patients with dementia who were missed when a cut score of 24 was used.
The researchers conclude that older, more highly educated patients who complain of cognitive decline and score below 27 on the MMSE should be referred for a comprehensive dementia evaluation.
