LAUSANNE, September 1, 2009 - AIPS and the International Committee for Fair Play Committee (CIFP) will collaborate in identifying nominees for the next edition of the World Fair Play Awards.
CIFP was established in 1963 under the auspices of UNESCO and AIPS who was represented at the time by Jacques Ferran of L'Equipe. The oganisation is chaired by former world fencing champion and Olympic medallist Dr Jeno Kamuti (Hungary) and respenting AIPS on the CIFP Council are president Gianni Merlo (Italy) and Vice-President Nickolai Dolgopolov (Russia).
The first IFPC award was given to Italian Eugenio Monti in 1965 for having given a spare part from his own bobseligh to British competitor Tony Nash at the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Games. The act of generosity enabled Nash to overtake the Italian and win the Two Man Bobsleigh gold medal.
Since 1965 awards have been presented in the following categories:
1. Pierre de Coubertin World Fair Play Trophy
- Awarded to an athlete, or a team, for a gesture of fair play that cost, or could have cost them victory, or could have had a negative effect on their results;2. Jean Borotra World Fair Play Trophy - Awarded to a person for their exemplary attitude showed all along their sport career, for an outstanding and constant spirit of fair play, for observing the unwritten rules of sport, and never to take advantage of an opponent's bad luck;
3. Willi Daume World Fair Play Trophy - Awarded to a person or organisation for an activity aiming at promoting fair play by organizing national or local campaigns, giving lectures, writing articles in the press, or making comments on the radio or television.
To widen the pool of nominees for the Jury and to bring the award "closer to the realities of today's sporting life" the CIPF has sought the assistance of AIPS members who are asked to propose candidate in any of all three of the categories.
How to nominate
If you are an AIPS member who has witnessed an act of fair play or know of someone truly deserving of an award for their life-long fair play attitude on and off the sporting field please download the attached form and return to AIPS Headquarters with your AIPS card number.
Nominations must be received via fax or email (details on form) by October 31, 2009.

Risk Factors
Many diseases have specific causes - for example a virus causes measles. Although it is not currently understood why people develop dementia, there are many factors which have been suggested to be linked to the development of the condition. Some are risk factors, whilst others appear to be protective.
Risk factors are characteristics or factors that appear to have some relationship to the development of a disease. If these risk factors are present, there is an increased chance, but not a certainty, that the disease will develop. For example, not everyone who smokes develops heart disease and not everyone with heart disease has been a smoker. However, smoking is a strong risk factor for heart disease.
Risk factors can include family background or exposures to a substance or product. Going back to the example of smoking: a person who smokes has a greater risk of developing heart disease than someone who does not smoke. Some risk factors can be modified, for example lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of a stroke; other risk factors cannot be modified, for example age or family history.
Age and a strong family history of dementia are risk factors with a strong link to dementia. Excessive alcohol consumption, head injury, and risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and being overweight also seem to increase the risk of getting dementia.
It seems that people who keep their brains active may be at less risk of developing dementia. Reading, engaging in a hobby such as playing bridge or chess, or doing crosswords and word puzzles may help to reduce risk.

Before I even begin gushing about this Calamigos Ranch pretty-fest, I am going to ask one simple favor. That favor? Set aside some time this afternoon to let yourself get lost in all the loveliness captured by The Image is Found sitting in this gallery. Because if you happen to need a pick me up, the prettiness in this post planned by Events of Love and Splendor and the Bride and Groom will be just the ticket. The love from these two is simply contagious, and you can see just what I am talking about right here.
[style guide]
From the Bride...Being that we are both from the east coast but met in California, we wanted to share with our guests the beautiful state in which our relationship grew. We both have a huge love and appreciation for the outdoors and when we came across Calamigos Ranch, tucked away in Malibu Wine Country, we knew this was going to be the location for our big day. It offered the perfect combination of rustic charm and romance that we were looking for.
I was lucky to have a groom that was just as involved in the planning process as myself, along with an amazing wedding planner. To save on costs and add some personal touches, we made wooden signs to display around the reception area and also built our own tiered cupcake stands. We also wanted a way to visually remember each guest that attended our wedding, so my husband created a wooden picture frame and attached horizontal strings of wire, which we could clothespin mini polaroids of our guests onto when they arrived. The rest of the decor was kept really simple and clean… no wedding programs or menu cards… just lots of flowers and candles decorated the space. Our guest favors were also nature inspired and we chose to give Blue Spruce tree seeds, which our guests could take home to plant and hopefully enjoy for years to come.
We were surrounded and overwhelmed by all of the love we received leading up to and on our wedding day and cannot thank our family and friends enough for all of their support and kind words. The day could not have been more perfect for us.

Characteristics | |
Type | monstrous humanoid |
Publication history | |
First appearance | Monster Manual II (1983) |
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the banderlog is a monstrous humanoid.
Publication historyEdit
The banderlog first appeared in the first edition Monster Manual II (1983).[1]
The banderlog appeared in the second edition in Monstrous Compendium Volume Two (1989), and in the Monstrous Manual (1993).[2]
The Banderlog resembles a fat Baboon with green skin, brown fur (this creates an almost violet look) and a large mouth and lips. It is a mischievous, fun-loving creature which lurks in trees and throws fruits such as mangos and coconuts filled with a nauseatting juice down at passersby. If it is throwing these at an enemy, they cause poisoning and strength damage as well. They are clearly inspired by the Bandar-log monkeys from [W:Rudyard Kipling|]]'s book The Jungle Book.
Banderlogs cannot speak, being animals.
They are neutral in alignment.
Other publishersEdit
The banderlog appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[3]

How can I interface this with the Arduino Pro Mini? It doesn't have A4 and A5 so the standard library does not work.
How strong are these? If I hook them to a backpack will they be destroyed very easily?
Why exactly is this running at 8MHz instead of 16MHz? I would like to use this at 3.3V but want the extra speed. Is it because you're worried about turning on too much I/O and dropping voltage too fast and throwing errors? I'm using this as a prototype, and am planning on building my own board, but wondering why you went with a 8MHz resonator. Thanks!
Correct me if I am wrong but only the PS3 controllers have the triggers where it depends on how hard they are pressed.

Pioneer SE-CX8-T Headphone, Bright Copper
" It would be impossible to replicate my first impressions of the Pioneer Superior Club Sound in-ear headphone series. As such, if you'd like my initial reaction, check out myPioneer SE-CX9 review.

If..." --Luckbad
Pioneer DJE-1500-K Professional DJ In-Ear Headphones
"Over the years I have owned and reviewed a number of IEM's and headphones, being a positive person my reviews generally err on the side of generosity. This IEM forced me to go back through my reviews and adjust my ratings. The overall package and sound of the DJE1500 required it to be separated from everything else or I wouldn't be doing it justice. It is the first 5 star rating I have ever..." --dweaver
Pioneer DJE-2000 In Ear Headphones Black
" Hi all, I just picked-up a pair of DJE-2000's (they are 30 Ohm) for 299€ in a local shop. I've had them for about 8 hours now ... Why did I pick-up these ... because they where the only nice, high quality and high-end in-ear phones they had in the shop. (I thought of purchasing the Shure SE535, but no shop had them ... maybe I'll get them later .... any input on that?) ..." --CasperBxl

"Atomic Floyd are a relatively small British based company that not many people have heard of.

Development of ICT for outdoor destinations
Due to unfavorable economic conditions in the border region of Croatia and Montenegro, there has been limited investment in the past to promote the exceptional natural and cultural values of this area. On both sides of the border, there is a need to develop human resources and provide locally based trainings in the provision of tourism related services. The region also lacks a consistent marketing approach and brand identity, and has underdeveloped distribution and communication channels that could be strengthened by improving usage of new information and communication technologies.
At the same time, tourism and the related services are the main inputs for economic development of the area. These services represent the highest share in regional GDP. Tourism related services employ the highest number of people, therefore it is essential to broaden the spectra of services, prolong tourist season and offer higher quality of services based on authentic local products, tradition and culture.
What is the project about?
The project will stimulate local economy in the cross-border area through bringing together private and public sector in the field of tourism and leveraging new technologies to design user-centric tourism services.
In particular, the project will concentrate on following specific activities, amongst other:
- Joint marketing initiatives, (improve usage of ICT in marketing efforts and inter-cluster cooperation strengthening);
- Quality improvement schemes (qualification of activity instructors, guides and rescue service providers);
- Joint tourism promotion and marketing initiatives, including in particular initiatives to promote cross-border regional identity as a tourist area: promotion activities such as preparation and distribution of information and promotional materials on the cross border area and its products, joint participation at tourism fairs, public awareness activities and information services to the local businesses and communities;
- Improvement of safety standards in both countries in order to assure better international recognition of high quality outdoor tourism products.
Due to the creation of local/regional instructors, the ability to repeat training activities in the future will also be enabled and in fact is a key aspect of the projects sustainability. The project's developments will also act as real and electronic platform to enable cross sector cluster from all involved clusters to align the content of their programmes with the needs of the market on an ongoing basis as a clear best case practice example.
Expected project results are:
- Improved capacity for trail management and rescue services;
- Established ICT information system, (Geoportal and 2 mobile applications) for real time data acquisition and consumer information;
- Improved safety and instructional capacities;
- Joint tourism product promoted internationally.
Since this is a multi-partner project, UNDP formalized cooperation with National Tourism Organization and Mountain Rescue Service of Montenegro, while Croatian partners are Mountain Rescue Service of Croatia and Chamber of Commerce – Dubrovnik County Office.
The project is co-financed by the European Union through the Instrument for Pre-Accession, specifically the Cross Border Cooperation Programme between Montenegro and Croatia.
What have we accomplished so far?
Improvement of human resources:
- 7 certified instructors for sea kayaking from local clubs and associations. The certification is regionally recognized, according to the British Canoe Union "star" certification system.
- 8 members of Mountain Rescue Service in Montenegro obtained International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) instructors' certificates. This is initial creation of first aid in mountains instructors' basis, which will continue to improve safety standards in tourism offer of Montenegro.
- 15 tourism agencies, tour operators and local associations are gathered in first outdoor tourism cluster in Montenegro. The same structure will be established in Croatia.
Improvement of technical capacities:
- ten sets of equipment were delivered to Mountain Rescue Service, mostly related to the personal equipment and specialized devices for heavily accessible places
- hiking trails scanned with GPS and data inserted in e-platforms database (total of 50km(
- fifty-five signs and info tables posted along Adriatic Transversal
Promotion of the integrated outdoor destination:
- Geoportal www.adriaticadventure.eu developed
- 2 mobile applications for destination promotion posted online; download from google play/apple store: "Adriatic Adventure"
- Study tour of 4 French tour operators to the destination conducted

Slight anticipation. Bit of excitement. Hard ticket to get.
Pitt got through their road game with Maryland. Duke throttled Florida State on the road.
Briefly, I'll get some thoughts from the Maryland game out of the way, first.
I didn't get to watch the Pitt-Maryland game until Sunday morning. I didn't keep myself oblivious to the game the night before, so I knew Pitt got the win. I also knew that the final score got a closer and there was some angst towards the end. It means watching the game with all the unknown removed.
Pitt took the early shot from Maryland in the first five minutes. Let the crowd be into it. Then slowly, methodically took hope from the Terps for the next 30 before the desperation of Maryland closed the gap. Lamar Patterson just went off on them.
Yes, Pitt did not do a good job of making free throws at the end. In the final 2 minutes, Pitt was 5-13 on FTs. The only ones who shot free throws were Talib Zanna, Cam Wright and Josh Newkirk. Quite frankly, with those three shooting free throws, it wasn't too far from what should be expected. As a freshman, Newkirk makes Brandin Knight look like Ashton Gibbs at the free throw line. 1-10 to this point. Zanna and Wright were probably one FT each short of what would be expected.
And still, it took a meaningless 3 with 9 seconds left to get the game to a four-point difference. Pitt made some mistakes, beyond the FTs down the stretch. It seemed they were too willing to go 4-corners, too early. There were a couple bad turnovers. But for the most part, they handled the desperate late effort from Maryland. They broke their press. That's why you want to build up the lead on the road. Maryland wasn't going to give up in front of the home crowd. Especially in this game.
Now for Duke.
Hard to believe Duke lost at Clemson a couple weeks ago. Especially considering the drubbing Pitt put on them and UNC gave them a beating as well last night. A good deal of the change has been because Duke has changed from that point. Particularly, they are playing defense.
"They have used that loss to learn," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said Saturday after his team committed 21 turnovers while losing to Duke.
The Blue Devils have reeled off four wins in a row, allowing 56.8 points per game. Duke's foes have shot 42.7 percent (85-of-199) from the field, including just 29.4 percent (10-of-34) during the Blue Devils' winning streak.
That allowed Duke to beat Florida State despite its worst shooting day of the season on Saturday.
"Defense," Cook said. "It says a lot about defense. Guys weren't on like we usually are. But we stepped up. We stepped up. Great rebounding from the big guys and the guards. If we just keep fighting and start making shots, we're going to be an even better team."
The Blue Devils are rebounding better, too, and will need to keep doing that to have any chance at Pitt tonight and at Syracuse on Saturday (6:30 p.m., ESPN).
Duke gained a 47-24 rebounding edge over Florida State one game after grabbing 14 more rebounds than Miami in Wednesday night's 67-46 win over the Hurricanes at Coral Gables, Fla.
Freshman forward Jabari Parker, already the team's leading scorer with 18.7 points per game, averaged 14 rebounds a game against Miami and Florida State.
One of the ways Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski has changed the mindset has to do with the way he rotates players. He's been doing it in waves. Announcers have been regularly referring to as a line change since they are regularly switching 4 or even all 5 players.
In many ways, this is becoming the Duke team Krzyzewski envisioned before the season: athletic and deep; making up for a lack of size inside with effort; embracing a defensive mentality; even working in more of the full-court pressure defense that Krzyzewski talked about before the season, not that Duke needed it Saturday.
The blips – on defense, in the paint, in Jabari Parker's game, in Rasheed Sulaimon's confidence – appear to have passed.
"Anybody can be beaten," Duke guard Quinn Cook said. "We can't just keep outscoring teams. I think we realized that. Everybody is giving us their best shot. When we play defense and we play hard, the offense will come."
Even without the hockey-style line changes, at halftime Krzyzewski had used more players (11) than Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton (eight), a shocking inversion of their usual practice. Hamilton typically goes deep into his bench, picking and choosing so freely that at times it appears random. Krzyzewski, who historically has been more comfortable with a smaller rotation, trumped him Saturday.
"We got a lot of depth, so we're using all of our guys, everybody getting an opportunity, everybody being ready," Cook said. "Just keep playing unselfishly, that's what we envisioned. That's what we're getting to."
To keep some perspective on the number of players used, only 8 of the 11 players had 11 minutes or more versus FSU. Krzyzewski may do the volume changes of personnel on the floor but it is mostly for only a minute or so at a time — which makes it look more dramatic. The reality was that only six players had the bulk of the minutes — 160 out of 200 available minutes (80%). Getting hung up on that aspect is misleading.
Lot of (local) media stories about how Pitt is looking to make a statement. About this being a game to see where Pitt is in relation to a legend. Which is amusing in so far as the players acknowledge the Duke name and Krzyzewski, but that's about it.
"It's going to be a great game," Pitt fifth-year senior swingman Lamar Patterson said. "Duke obviously has a prestigious program. They've got national championships. They've got one of the best college coaches ever. They're just known for their success.
"So when you have a team like us and coach (Jamie) Dixon — he's building a program, and we're reaching a level where Duke is at — it draws a lot of attention. Our fans are going to be ready, the Oakland Zoo is going to be ready, and we're going to be ready."
"I know them, and I watch them. They've got good players," Patterson said. "That's what makes Duke 'Duke.' They've got great players. But Pitt's known for having guys who don't have the accolades but just get down and gritty and grinding stuff out. If that's what we have to do, that's what we're going to do."
Perhaps that's why Patterson was dismissive of talk of the presence of Coach K standing on the sidelines at the Pete for the first time.
"I'm a Dixon guy, anyway," Patterson said. "Coach K is a legend, but we're trying to get Dixon to be a legend, also.
"It's going to be crazy. The Oakland Zoo is the best student section in the world, so I'm looking forward to getting out there and seeing how they are. First and foremost, I want to get the W."
Coach Dixon knows the difference between Pitt and Duke. Between he and Krzyzewski are stark.
The first thing Dixon mentioned when asked about Krzyzewski was his incomparable success at one school. "I also look at what he's done for USA basketball." Krzyzewski led the United States to gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and at the 2010 world championship. He will again coach the U.S. team at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Then, there are Krzyzewski's national championships at Duke.
Four of 'em.
Krzyzewski also took Duke to seven other Final Fours and has an 82-25 record in NCAA tournament games, the most wins by any coach.
You might have heard Dixon hasn't been nearly so successful in the NCAAs. He has taken Pitt to nine tournaments but hasn't made it to a Final Four. His NCAA tournament record is 11-9.
"I don't remember the wins. I only remember the losses," [Dixon] said. "I can understand the disappointment. No one is more disappointed than we are when we lose.
"We haven't won a national championship, and we've got to get one. It's not about getting to the Final Four. It's about winning a national championship. That's something different. No one remembers who goes to the Final Four. Winning the national championship is the separator."
Now, the reality is that this is a big game because of the opponent this year. Not the reputation they carry.
Overall the Panthers are 9-0 in games against Top-5 teams at Petersen Events Center. So while the Blue Devils have a Hall of Fame coach and name recognition, they aren't among the highest ranked teams to play at Petersen Events Center.
That doesn't mean this isn't a big game, but its importance goes beyond the fact that it is Duke and neither of these teams has a signature win on their resume.
Pitt, No. 12 in one Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), has played only two games against teams in the top 50 of the RPI — Cincinnati and Syracuse — and the Panthers lost both of those games. The Panthers do have six wins against teams ranked No. 51-100, but they also have eight wins against teams outside of the top 150.
So in short, Pitt has done a great job of avoiding bad losses, which is always a key come NCAA tournament bid time.
But given how down the ACC has been this season, this is one of only four opportunities in the regular season for Pitt to notch a top-20 (RPI) win.
This game is probably more important for Pitt in terms of national perception than anything else. It is a hit if Pitt loses, and yes they are favored. But the overall impact on Pitt in the ACC ranks, polls and computers won't be devastating. Perception-wise, any national article seems to make mention of the horrid Cinci game since that was the last big stage weekday game.
H2P and H2Superstitions
Alright then, deck the Devils!
Duke is playing better but they haven't played a defense like us. No not against the Twerps.
The D we played against Clemson and the 1rst MD. game. PITT might have coasted some against MD, the last game to save some energy. Randall got more minuted and Artis and Jones played over 15 minutes each.
Hope JD showed them we aren't getting any respect from the media and they play,,,,,,,ANGRY !!!
Time to play, scramble the letters with Coach Alphabets.
And for the Panthers to piss all over the Dookies.
This is not the biggest game ever at the
Pete. However given the love affair the
media has with Duke the game is important
to the perception of Pitt hoops. A win
moves Pitt to Top Ten.
Howard over Bethune-Cookman (Should be a close game)
Savannah State over Norfolk State (Savannah St. should win at home)
And, of course, Pitt will beat Dook.
Looking forward, Duke(15), UVA(21), FL St.(26), Syracuse(6) and UNC(50) are the only teams in the RPI top 50 that are on the schedule. And the only two (Cincy and Syracuse) that Pitt has faced, have won.
However,the next 11 games are going to be tough. Only 2 games will be against teams outside of the top 100.
The team cannot feed the talking head's theory that Pitt has not played (or beaten) a good team, therefor they deserve no respect or ink.
The season starts tonite. Win. And keep winning.
Play like champions tonight Panthers,,,,,
and,,,,,"Remember Syracuse"!
Hail to Pitt
I disagree that Pitt had a bad defensive game @MD.
Although is was not the best (D), it was more a bad effort on offense. There were 78 possessions in the game. Pitt barely topped 1 point per.
Everyone need to join in the Let's Go Pitt cheer tonight. Let's show Duke what home field advantage is all about.
The road to respect in the ACC is Tobacco Road.
No smoking permitted at the Pitt, except us smokin' their butts.
Time to make Dicky V cry again.
"For me, I was looking for familiarity, guys I've worked with or known for a very, very long time. Guys that I trust and interact with the players, the community …."
to each their own, however the Twerps got way too many easy drives to the hoop for layups and dunks off of missed shots. Didn't pass the 'look test' to me.
Looking at the game stats, MD shot 48% from the field. (layups & dunks)
48% FG defense is not good Pitt defense. imo
Nope the defense was not good.
Point taken.
1. At the end of games, be sure to have good free throw shooters on the court, meaning JR (best), Lamar (4th best), and BOTH Young & Artis at the same time, and don't let anybody else touch the ball if it can be avoided.
2. Cam Wright is the 2nd most improved player this year, and has become a really solid mid range shooter to add to his fast break prowess, but he needs to avoid dribble penetration at all costs, he's simply got a really weak handle, and that's not going to change, so for the good of the team he needs to stick with what he's good at.
"To date, Patterson is averaging 17.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He uses 28 percent of his team's possessions, and he is ruthlessly efficient with them, whether he's scoring (he shoots 56.6 percent from 2 and 42.9 percent from 3) or distributing (where 32.8 percent of his possessions end in assists). "
We need some angry fans at the game tonite. Angry cause we get no respect, angry cause they kept us out of the polls as long as they humanly could. Angry cause they only ranked us cause they wanted to 'protect' Cusey.
Opera fans stay at home, please give your tickets to PITT ppl that are angry and red up with the favoritism paid the Dookies and the Cusey's and the Tarholes and the Ohio Fakes.
Get angry, get mad, and get these preppie pukes.
Kill the Preppies, Kill Duke !!!
Hope people get there early.
Have a nice day
I do not loan out my "blue and gold" boxers—and so far I am showing no signs of a rash. A second round will not kill me. I promise that they will be laundered and ready for the Cavs on Sunday.
Emel, is just getting into his best "Richard Sherman" mood. I hope to see him with the Zoo tonight wearing the DJ headband and a bathrobe. Welcome to the Pete Dukies.
I don't think he's in the Burgh tonight.
we need the zoo to be in full force tonight. i worry that the rest of the crowd will be filled with the corporate suit and tie types, like the fans at consol have turned into since mellon closed. this game will go a long way in terms of national perception. we really need this one at home tonight. i think it will be important for jr artis, and cam to step up tonight, all attention will be on lamar and talib.
Seriously. This is a Duke Team Pitt can BEAT… and SHOULD!
Therefore, focus, play like we know you can, repeat the unselfish team performance that was apparent against the Clemson Tigers and bring home a solid victory on national TV. GO PITT!
Pitt vs. Duke Tonight! It's about to get wild in the Zoo! Let's Go #H2P #BeatDuke
Now that should get Emel really ANGRY when he returns later. I wish that I was close enough to drive to the game tonight. I get it now, Emel. I am ANGRY, too.
"we're Pitt, we expect to win. We don't storm courts"
Not counting my chickens.
If we do win, I was hoping the Zoo knows not to storm the court.
Not your twitter info. Glad to see that.
I am with you 100%. However, if we later see a vid of Jamie dancing in the locker room (a la Paul Chryst after beating Notre Dame(, that is way acceptable.
I also feel, the Zoo, should get a big head of Dick Groat, preferably one with DJ headband on like he was wearing the other night.
ps, the big head of Jamie, in full screaming mode is down right scary.
It helps that they the students are all pretty much sitting on the court to begin with though.
My only complaint about the design of the Pete is the TV cameras should've been set up so they face the students and not at the luxury boxes that normally are half empty seats because people on the couches eating nachos since they might not even be Pitt fans but got the ticket as a company perk.
My seats look towards the students from a good angle and it is fun to watch when they are in high gear like they will be tonight.
we've beat UConn, there…
we've beat the 'Cuse, there….
we've beat the Irish, there….
BEAT THE DUKIES…..another notch in the belt.
I agree though that I like being able to watch the students when I'm at the Pete.
Duke doesn't have a tax-dodging, hedge-fund governed medical center like Pitt does. Oh well.
Really no surprise.
Good luck to the Pitt boys tonight, duke welcome to the @OaklandZoo
@DukeForum we're 9-0 against top 5 teams at the Pete. Expect to win every game no matter the opponent. You'll see no court storm
For seeding purposes, I feel the next two games are must wins. No way around it. Pitt doesn't have good enough teams left on the schedule.
And the o/u opened at 142, It has been steadily dropping. Now at 138.
I don't think it would even be possible to storm the court at the Pete with all of the security and that courtside has seats and not students.
Gibbs hit a 3 pointer from about 25 ft to bet Providence.
Pitt beat Cuse at home when it had Melo.
Pitt beat UConn at home when it had Gordon and Omekafor, and a fewyears ago when it had Thabeet and was #1.
If the Zoo didn't storm the court then, it is likely to never do it.
Carpe' Blue Devils
Newkirk may be the key for us as constant d wears out an opponent. JR is good
Steven Adams @RealStevenAdams
This Pitt vs Duke game is going to be Awesome! The @OaklandZoo is going to make it special. I miss you people. #HailToPitt
You can't make this stuff up.
Re: Bowers, I hope that pic was taken in 9th grade…he looks like my paper boy (if I had a paper boy)!
Vitale needs a good texting to. #20 (same as last week) Feel the wrath of the Panther !
Same with Feinstein, that putz.
And don't even get me started on super schmuck Seth Davis (#22)
I'm getting angry…..really angry !!!
Comment by usd121 01.27.14 @ 11:28 am
We have very similar lists. You are an extremely righteous dude !
I really hate that the Dookies aren't ranked higher. Can't remember the Pukes being this low ranked in a long long time. Strange but true.


text: Van Gogh Missing for 40 Years Found in Safe-Deposit Box Authorities have not yet authenticated the painting By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted May 12, 2014 6:58 PM CDT 12 comments Comments This photo suppiled by The Morgan Library & Museum in New York shows Vincent Van Gogh's 1887 "Self-Portrait: Three Quarters to the Right." (AP Photo/The Morgan Library & Museum) (Newser) – A Van Gogh painting thought to have been missing for 40 years appears to have been found in a Spanish safe-deposit box, the Los Angeles Times reports. Tax collectors ran across Cypress, Sky and Country, an unframed 1-foot by 1-foot work, while going through the box's contents in December as part of a tax evasion investigation. The 1889 painting was likely created while Van Gogh was at the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the asylum in the south of France where he also painted The Starry Night. It's not clear how the painting went missing from Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum, Reuters reports. Authorities are working to authenticate it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BirdmanAK from Good product, avoid at low temperatures My boss bought this stuff for our crew because we go through 40 to 50 (or more) gallons of bar oil per work season and none of us liked the idea of spraying petroleum all over the forest. I also bought some for myself for other cutting jobs and I like it a lot. However, in temps lower than -15 F, it's too viscous and doesn't lubricate well. I switched back to regular cold weather oil after scorching the bar on my 362. It also smokes if your chain is dull and you're running the saw fast (had a coworker do this often)...cold weather oil does that too if run in warm air temps. However, in normal conditions it smells interesting, does a good job lubricating the saw, supposedly breaks down quickly, and landowners like the idea of it...good stuff!

Rated 5 out of 5 by CHAS21 from BBQ smoking wood I cut and use wood for BBQ smoking and always fret about using petroleum based bar oils in regards to health and taste. I've considered using vegetable oil but was not sure which oil to use and how it would perform in a chainsaw. Seeing as how Stihl has their brand on this stuff, I have no doubt that this is what I've been looking for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LensMan from Consistent Viscosity and Environmentally Friendly I appreciate this Bar Oil and know that I'm not getting misted with petroleum products every time I use my saw and that my saw dust can break down into mulch with no poison on my plants! I can see that old saw dust is breaking down into rich soil over time and this bar oil does not inhibit the biological process at all. Compared to other bar oils BioPlus lubricates better, stays consistent in it's viscosity through every temperature I've worked in and has very little smell. It's truly a winner of a product! I have used it for years and will continue to buy it.I do not worry about my land and the plants on it when I spread sawdust around. I know nature will take care of it.As far as My Own biology is concerned, if I avoid poisons today, it prevents health problems tomorrow. I'm willing to keep taking this step towards healthier chainsawing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by malcbuddy from healthier for me, lubes the saw well Unfortunately pricey. Any chainsaw sprays you with bar oil. I like the fact that I smell like french fries at the end of the day rather than petroleum. I would rather breath and bathe in vegetable oil than petrol. The oil washes out of your clothes easily with no residual smell in an ordinary wash.The saw seems to like it just fine. It seems to have a higher viscosity and it seems to use less, but I have not done a scientific side by side test with the regular bar lube.Hard to find product, dealers are not stocking it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CompostMan from Good product, but pricey I like this oil for it's health and environmental benefits. It also has very good cold flow characteristics. The regular oil flows very slowly and is hard to poor in winter conditions. This oil flows well and is easy to pour. I haven't seen any difference in wear on bar or chains through 2 gallons of use.

Global Payments, Inc. (NYSE:GPN) recently reported its first quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call.
Revenue Contribution
Georgios Mihalos – Credit Suisse: Thanks for taking my question and Paul, all the best. It was great working with you.
Paul R. Garcia – Chairman: Thanks George.
Georgios Mihalos – Credit Suisse: Congratulations, Jeff. So, may be just to start off nice to see the margins trending in the right direction. Within the North American business or within the U.S. business can you breakout the revenue contribution that is non-ISO direct in the growth trends that you've seen there?
David Mangum – SEVP and CFO: Yeah, George this is David I'd be happy to do that. They are really quite consistent what we expected when the year started. So, we have an ISO channel, that as you heard in our prepared comments, growth slowing a little bit really due to the law of large numbers and the timing and sequencing of when ISOs choose to feed their customers. So, that channel continues to grow the transactions in double-digits and with revenue growth below that depending again on timing on fees and just again the law of large numbers. So, to view the rest of the channels the APT business is really carrying a lot of the water for us this year just as we expected. Remember last year, we didn't own APT until October. So we're getting the benefit of that in this quarter and that will begin to annualize, but even when it annualizes we'll be looking at very nice mid-teens kind of revenue growth from APT. Everything we expected from that business with the opportunity to actually add growth to it on a global basis over the years. Then if we go through the rest of the channels, the check in gaming, the gaming business you remember historically have been covered up for some time, still chugs along at very nice levels, high-single digit kind of growth levels. Our direct business, very solid business that's the combination of our joint venture with Comercia, as well as our core direct base, sort of the legacy direct base of Global Payments that moves along in a nice mid-single digit pace as well. Our greater giving business, low-double may be high-single and then the indirect which is kind of the final reconciling piece of really legacy portfolios buried in us as well buried in other processors they have a different trajectory, but small enough that it doesn't really affect the overall. The end result of which is what you see today we're reporting really may be more importantly what we continue to expect for the full-year which is mid to high-single digit revenue growth on annual basis.
Georgios Mihalos – Credit Suisse: Then Jeff just going back to your comments on the acquisition pipeline. Can you talk a little bit more maybe geographically in particular with some of the new markets that you mentioned you could be looking to get into?

(AP) -- A 75-year-old woman has been sentenced to at least 22 years in prison for killing her teen grandson at their home in suburban Detroit. Sandra Layne got a minimum sentence of 20 years for second-degree murder Thursday, along with a mandatory two-year prison sentence for using a gun to kill 17-year-old Jonathan Hoffman. Hoffman was shot six times, including twice in the back, last year in West Bloomfield Township. Layne says she shot him out of desperation during a physical altercation, but a jury rejected her self-defense claim. Prosecutors say there's no evidence of Layne being injured by Hoffman. A recording of a 911 call shows Hoffman being shot again while pleading for help. Layne told the court she was "sorry." She'll get credit for 11 months served in jail.

I've been trying to get jit.qt.movie to read from a network camera. To get some image on a browser I can use:
method 1: http://192.168.0.90/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=320×240 for on-demand jpgs
method 2: http://192.168.0.90/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=320×240 for a live stream of jpgs, pushed by the camera
both are using a motion-jpeg codec.
It works well in Safari, but in jit.qt.movie I get no results. The CPU spikes immediately and no image at all.
I already used a strategy were I would download using jit.uldl but writing to the disk is obviously too slow.
Note that I tried both http methods in quicktime using "open url" and I can get the static image (method 1) with no problems, but when I use server pushing (method 2) Quicktime says it's an invalid url.
Any ideas are well appreciated.
Cheers Ivan
hi there. i bet you were totally thinking that this was a dead thread.
i just made this work with an axis p3384-VE ptz net cam, with 30fps at 640×480. you need to put a configuration message in the RTSP url.
read rtsp://10.0.1.2/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg&resolution=640×480
should do it with no problems. cheers!
And for a non-Axis camera what would the lingo be like?
I found another solution for Axis cameras, but it does not work with mine. And I bet it is all related to what I should type after rtsp://.
Any suggestions? What should I write for a generic camera instead of rtsp://10.0.1.2/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=jpeg&resolution=640×480

For the second weekend in a row, romantic comedy Think Like a Man nabbed the top spot in the weekend box office. The film, adapted from the non-fiction book by Steve Harvey, pulled in $18 million this weekend — down from last weekend's $33 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
Starring Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Hart, Taraji P. Henson, Gabrielle Union and Steve Harvey, Think Like a Man managed to trump the opening weekend of Aardman Animations' Pirates! Band of Misfits, which earned $11.4 million. Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek and Jeremy Piven lend their voices to the animated film about Pirate Captain, an amateur trying to win the Pirate of the Year Award.
Think Like a Man knocks Hunger Games from the top spot at the Box Office
In third place with $11.3 million was The Lucky One starring Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling. The film was adapted from the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name.
After six weeks in theaters, The Hunger Games was still able to bring in $11.3 million, making its total gross a startling $372.5 million.
Despite high expectations, Judd Apatow's The Five Year Engagement landed in the No. 5 spot with $11.2 million. Safe, the action-packed drama starring Jason Statham, followed with $7.7 million in its opening weekend.
Rounding out the top 10: The Raven (No. 7, $7.3 million), Chimpanzee (No. 8, $5.5 million), The Three Stooges (No. 9, $5.4 million) and The Cabin in the Woods (No. 10, $4.5 million).

Listen up, IROs and financial communications practitioners. It's time to stop leaving that "social media fluff" to PR pros and digital marketing folks and learn how to harness the power of social media for communicating corporate information to investors. What do social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook have to do with disclosing serious financial information you ask? Well, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently announced that information released on social media channels now constitutes as fair disclosure, opening up enormous opportunities for IR professionals. It's time to buckle down, get social, and strategize some concrete steps for incorporating your company or client's social media channels into your IR practices.
According to Edelman Digital and Financial, the SEC isn't the only regulator taking notice of social media. FINRA and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council have proposed regulations that require companies to have concrete social media processes and documents for IR practices. All of a sudden, social media for investor relations is moving to the mainstream – IRO's can no longer ignore these channels and need to find a way to incorporate them into their communications strategy. How do you determine which channel to prioritize? A recent study by the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the University of Michigan reports that Twitter is IR professionals' new technology of choice for breaking firm news. Particularly for smaller companies, Twitter can play the role of an equalizer by allowing them to make up for lack of media exposure by communicating via social media. And the study results prove that social media isn't just fluff – Twitter has helped companies achieve more market liquidity for their stocks.
All of this can be overwhelming – there's a ton of information out there about the merging of investor relations and social media. To help make sense of the information overload, here are three concrete recommendations to help you get started on your "social IR" strategy:
• Get the Word Out: The SEC allows social media disclosure only in cases where investors are aware of the company's policy; so let your investors know that you will be disclosing material information via social media. The more transparent you are with investors, the less potential for regulatory backlash. Issue a press release, update your website, and/or organize a conference call to share your new policy.
• Optimize Your Channels: As is the case with all corporate communications, you need to develop a unique IR strategy for each of your social media channels. If Twitter is your primary source for disclosing material information, make that clear to your investors so they're not visiting your Facebook page for news. If you're planning on using all your social media channels for material news, make sure you have a plan for disclosing information simultaneously across all channels. It's not enough to have one uniform strategy for all your social media channels – monitor your investors' online behaviors and strategize accordingly.
• Be Bold. Explore Multimedia: Most companies are still struggling to learn "social IR" so this is an opportunity to stand out and be a leader in communicating to investors in innovative ways. Why restrict yourself to Facebook and Twitter when investors are also using YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn? Exploring multimedia social channels beyond Facebook and Twitter will make media and investors take notice. Multimedia messages are a more effective way of reaching your investors across multiple touch points and telling a compelling story.
While SEC's new rule on social media disclosure is still new and confusing, there are many concrete steps that companies can take to communicate more transparently with investors and get ahead with their "social IR" strategy.

UPD Says There's No McParking For Parents Of Conkling Students
Utica, NY (WIBX) – The Utica Police Department says there's no McParking for parents of students at Conkling School on Mohawk Street who are using the McDonald's parking lot across from the school.
There are two safe crossing zones and well-posted school safety zone times. Parents who drop off children in the McDonald's parking lot are not only doing so unsafely but they are also violating vehicle and traffic laws.
Police will increase their presence in the area to insure that students…and their parents….pay attention to the law.

BP Comment Quick Links
October 9, 2012 Baseball ProGUESTusThe Sanctity of the 162-Game SeasonBelieve it or not, most of our writers didn't enter the world sporting an @baseballprospectus.com address; with a few exceptions, they started out somewhere else. In an effort to up your reading pleasure while tipping our caps to some of the most illuminating work being done elsewhere on the internet, we'll be yielding the stage once a week to the best and brightest baseball writers, researchers and thinkers from outside of the BP umbrella. If you'd like to nominate a guest contributor (including yourself), please drop us a line. Brent S. Gambill is Vice President & Director, Digital & Social Media, at Martin-Wilbourn Partners (MWPartners.com). He is the former Executive Producer for MLB Network Radio and SiriusXM Sports Social Media founder. Follow him on Twitter at @BrentSGambill. There's an unwritten rule in professional sports, "You never subtract. You only add." Add teams. Add divisions. Add playoff teams. Add playoff games. Add television contracts. Add revenue. You get the idea. With that in mind, Major League Baseball broke in another playoff format last Friday, adding a new round consisting of one-game playoffs between four wild card teams. Since its announcement in March, I have commonly called the new round the "contrived one-game playoff." After 162 games, one-game playoffs make no sense. Teams don't play one-game series in-season (make-up games don't count). One-game playoff games should be reserved for their original purpose: deciding a race that remains tied after 162 games. In the inaugural year of the new system, the American League wild card playoff was anything but contrived. The Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers had identical records at 93 wins. With or without the addition of the playoff game, those two teams would have played for the right to make the postseason. The only technicality is that the one-game playoff is now considered part of the postseason. Like the 1995 California Angels, 1998 San Francisco Giants, 1999 Cincinnati Reds, 2007 San Diego Padres, 2008 Minnesota Twins, and 2009 Detroit Tigers, no losing team will remember it as a playoff game. In the National League, where there was a six-game difference between the two wild card teams, "contrived" fits perfectly. In any other year since the creation of the wild card, the St. Louis Cardinals' season would have already been over. Under the new playoff system, they were like a reality show contestant being given a second chance to win the competition. Thanks to the new postseason system, the 88-win Cardinals got to take on—and defeat, in the only game that mattered—a team with a far superior record over a 162-game season. My concern is the sanctity of the 162-game season. The regular season has less impact on the postseason than it ever has before. Commissioner Bud Selig should be commended for his progressive approach to increasing the game's revenue and popularity, but those successes have come at a cost to the game's competitive integrity. No professional sport plays more regular-season games than Major League Baseball. The National Basketball Association and National Hockey League play 82-game seasons. No one will confuse those leagues with ones that have meaningful, pennant race-like regular seasons. More than half of the teams—16 of 30—in the NBA and NHL make the playoffs. Both leagues have a regular season essentially to set seedings for their playoff brackets. I'm marginalizing those leagues' regular seasons to some extent, but I can't recall the last time anyone I know checked games back or games to clinch in those leagues. The National Football League is a completely different animal. The NFL plays a 16-game season with only 12 of 32 teams making the playoffs. The marketing behind the league makes every game feel like it's important, with television and fantasy football providing the greatest leverage. From 1969 through 1993, only four teams made MLB's playoffs; prior to that, only two did. (Of course, there were also fewer teams in the league.) With realignment and the addition of wild cards, the number doubled to eight in 1995. Most playoff arguments since have centered on the wild card team not being disadvantaged enough. Nine of the last 17 World Series have included at least one wild card team (the 2002 World Series had two). My least favorite fact is that the Miami Marlins have two World Series championships and zero division titles. How different would the last 17 World Series have been without the wild card? How different will they be in the future? As a baseball traditionalist, I have a hard time comprehending the rationale for adding two more wild card teams to disadvantage a team in one round of a five-game Division Series. I'll avoid discussing the decision to have a five-game division series, but if the NBA could change its first round at midseason to a seven-game series in 2003, there is hope that MLB will one day make the same change. To provide greater balance to the playoffs with a larger disadvantage to the wild card team, the one-game playoff was created, and a flawed system was made even more flawed. How has the 162-game season been devalued? I've covered the wild card and one-game playoff, so let me discuss three other ways. Realignment By 1995, baseball expanded to six divisions with an unbalanced number of teams in each league. Before baseball realigned to six divisions, teams with fewer than 90 wins in the playoffs were rare. That is not the case today. This year alone, two 88-win teams qualified. The Detroit Tigers won the AL Central, and the Cardinals won the second NL Wild Card. Two teams with more wins than the Tigers were left out of the playoffs: the 90-win Rays and 89-win Angels. Divisions create artificial drama. It works well for selling tickets, but not for deciding the best teams in baseball. Unbalanced Schedule The best argument for and against the unbalanced schedule has long been the AL East. The big-market Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees play 18 times each regular season. Those teams also play the smaller-market Tampa Bay Rays 18 times. The argument for the unbalanced schedule is the race for the division. The argument against is the loss of television money for those 18 games. A balanced schedule will come only at the approval of MLB's television partners, and that will never happen. Interleague Play With all the changes in baseball, why has the 162-game schedule remained? Two key factors: record and revenue. Records Revenue No amount of disdain from this traditionalist will eliminate the wild cards. As is the case with the designated hitter, there's a better chance for expansion of the wild card than elimination. Remember, professional sports don't subtract. They only add. The best addition baseball could make in 2013 would be an award similar to the NHL's President's Trophy. Baseball is a commitment for fans and players: six weeks of spring training, followed by a 162-game season with one off-day every two weeks over six months. There should be a substantive award for the best regular season record in baseball; an award that can be celebrated and placed in an organization's trophy case. Like most, I live the ups and downs of the 162-game season. I'm resigned to the fact that the best team will not always make or win the World Series, but let's reward the team that proves over nearly 4,374 outs and 1,458 innings that it's the best in baseball. I'll always applaud baseball's regular-season champion over the World Series champion. There are two different seasons, and the time has come to recognize the winners of each. 21 comments have been left for this article.

Illinois Tools: Basic Bulk Silicon Transport Data at 300K
Calculations of doped bulk silicon transport data
Published on
This module calculates the transport data of impurity-doped silicon at 300K in order to enhance the learning experiences for those studying introductory Solid State Devices.
Select which type of impurities is doped into silicon by clicking the 'Type of Doping' drop-down menu, then enter the appropriate numbers for the doping concentration (N) and Electric Field.
Note that the data for majority and minority carrier mobilities, resistivity, and minority carrier lifetime are computed based only on the doping concentration, and the data for carrier drift velocity is based only on electric field.
Exact values for the data will be displayed on 'Output Data' menu once 'Simulate' button is clicked. Other relevant parameters and drift current density calculated using both doping concentration and electric field will be also shown on the ouput log without a plot.

Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide Release 2 (9.2) Part Number A96584-01 |
OCI Relational Functions, 37 of 38
Describes existing schema and sub-schema objects.
sword OCIDescribeAny ( OCISvcCtx *svchp, OCIError *errhp, dvoid *objptr, ub4 objptr_len, ub1 objptr_typ, ub1 info_level, ub1 objtyp, OCIDescribe *dschp );
A service context handle.
An error handle you can pass to OCIErrorGet()
for diagnostic information in the event of an error.
This parameter can be:
to the TDO (for a type).These cases are distinguished by passing the appropriate value for objptr_typ
. This parameter must be non-null.
In case 1, the string containing the object name should be in the format name1[.name2 ...][@linkname]
, such as scott.emp.empno@mydb
. Database links are only allowed to Oracle8i or later databases. The object name is interpreted by the following SQL rules:
is entered and objtyp
is equal to OCI_PTYPE_SCHEMA, then the name refers to the named schema. The Oracle database must be release 8.1 or later.name1
is entered and objtyp
is equal to OCI_PTYPE_DATABASE, then the name refers to the named database. When describing a remote database with database_name@db_link_name
, the remote Oracle database must be release 8.1 or later.name1
is entered and objtyp
is not equal to OCI_PTYPE_SCHEMA or OCI_PTYPE_DATABASE, then the name refers to the named object (of type table / view / procedure / function / package / type / synonym / sequence) in the current schema of the current user. When connected to an Oracle7 Server, the only valid types are procedure and function.name1.name2.name3 ...
is entered, the object name refers to a schema/sub-schema object in the schema named name1
. For example, in the string scott.emp.deptno
, scott
is the name of the schema, emp
is the name of a table in the schema, and deptno
is the name of a column in the table.The length of the name string pointed to by objptr
. Must be nonzero if a name is passed. Can be zero if objptr
is a pointer to a TDO or its REF
The type of object passed in objptr
. Valid values are:
points to the name of a schema objectobjptr
is a pointer to a REF
to a TDOobjptr
is a pointer to a TDOReserved for future extensions. Pass OCI_DEFAULT.
The type of schema object being described. Valid values are:
A describe handle that is populated with describe information about the object after the call. Must be non-null.
This is a generic describe call that describes existing schema objects: tables, views, synonyms, procedures, functions, packages, sequences, types, schemas, and databases. This call also describes sub-schema objects, such as a column in a table. This call populates the describe handle with the object-specific attributes which can be obtained through an OCIAttrGet()
An OCIParamGet()
on the describe handle returns a parameter descriptor for a specified position. Parameter positions begin with 1. Calling OCIAttrGet()
on the parameter descriptor returns the specific attributes of a stored procedure or function parameter, or a table column descriptor. These subsequent calls do not need an extra round-trip to the server because the entire schema object description is cached on the client side by OCIDescribeAny()
. Calling OCIAttrGet()
on the describe handle also returns the total number of positions.
If the OCI_ATTR_DESC_PUBLIC attribute is set on the describe handle, then the object named is looked up as a public synonym when the object does not exist in the current schema and only name1
is specified.

Interest rates and the banks' cost of funds are low enough, so another bond-buying/stimulus program will not encourage banks to lend. Jaw-boning by strong Presidents has worked in the past to "encourage" US businesses to do what's best for the US economy. When the Chinese economy slowed drastically as a result of the worldwide slow-down, those authorities demanded that Chinese banks lend out the stimulus funds…or else. Suddenly the 20,000,000 recently unemployed Chinese workers got jobs…quite simple. Of course, that's the power of a strong central government. Our President does not understand how business-people think…that's the problem.

Third volume of Jesus of Nazareth to be published simultaneously in the world's major languages
The third volume of Pope Benedict XVI's book Jesus of Nazareth should be published before Christmas, the Vatican has said.
The volume, focusing on the Gospel accounts of Jesus's infancy and childhood, will be the third and final volume in the series of books the Pope has written "to make known the figure and message of Jesus", the Vatican said in a statement today.
The statement announced a Vatican publishing house agreement with the Italian publisher Rizzoli to handle sales of the rights to the book in languages other than Italian and the German original.
Herder, the Pope's longtime German publisher, will handle the original German-language text.
The Vatican's plan is to release the book simultaneously in the world's major languages, including English, in time for Christmas.
The first volume of Jesus of Nazareth, covering the period from Jesus's baptism to his Transfiguration, was published in 2007. The second volume, looking at his passion and death, came out in 2011.

When redditor -blacktaxi- fell asleep at a friend's party, he unwittingly became a fun game for everyone to participate in. While some people might have woken up to the feeling of someone putting socks on over their jeans, though, he did not, so mischievous partygoers decided to go ahead and pile everything on top of him. Luckily he got out safely and was able to post pictures of the incident online. Now it's almost like we were all there, too, drunk and piling tables, chairs, cups, and ladders on top of him.

Drudge is reporting Condi as a top pick for Romney. Other media are expressing strong doubts.
How would that play for Romeny?
I like her and she obviously has the track record...
But politically throughout the election, it would hurt the campaign which shouldn't take precedence but does, obviously...
She is bright, that's why she will not become a politician.
Please, I beg you sweet baby Jesus, let Romney pick her as VP candidate
An interesting political move; its good for his base and has cross over appeal being that she is African-American and a woman. She is qualified from the point of view of having big time experience.
But the draw back is simple and clear; the Bush Administration's wars will be front and center all over again. It will be a big issue with independent and moderate voters who overwhelmingly disapprove of the wars and the Bush Foreign policy.
For example? Iraq, I'd assume is #1, but others?
I assume you feel Ms. Clinton and Obama have been very good on Foreign Policy? Would I be correct in making that assumption?
Outside your strong support for our Bombing Campaign in Libya and killing of (and proper Islamic at-sea burial for) Bin laden, I cannot specificly recall your views on the rest of the Obama/Clinton Foreign Policy record thus far.
Can you enlighten me/inform me as to what your view is of this current team, and some of teh specifics they've done you feel were good/great?
fish, as much as I am not a fan of Obama's foreign policy (in my view its a continuation of Bush in many ways), he has received high marks for it by moderates and independents. In the eyes of those people, Obama has been successful in this area whereas Bush was not.
Then it should be very easy to list some specific agreed upon successes in that field, I would assume.
I'm not laying criticism. I'm admitting I am unaware of what meaningful gains we've had in the realm of foreign policy since he/she took over. Concrete stuff, treaties, agreements, that help promote, protect and defend the United States and it's citizens, etc.
Hence my request to be educated by those who support him.
I think she makes sense. Very qualified. And lets not pretend that being a black woman doesn't factor in. The negatives are obvious. I think she is also Pro Choice-ish. Not sure how that is going to play.
I think Rubio has told them he does not want to be VP. I think he is going to wait for his chance to make his own run at the WH and doesn't want to be associated with another regime.
You would think Romney would want a Florida or Ohio VP, trying to lock down one of those states. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.
Politically Condi's pros outweigh her cons. Her association with some unpopular Bush Administration decisions would be a slight negative. They are outweighed by spome of her Pro's such as competence, likability and experience. The demographics factor is a major plus politically with her being an African American Woman.
Nominating for VP someone who is smarter, more educated, fluent and not as wooden as yourself would be a really quick way to lose the presidency.
Romney would make a good VP for her.
I dunno - she doesn't seem like the right type to be a running mate. Among other things, a VP has to be an attack dog, and I don't see her as someone who will be constantly ripping into Obama. Doesn't seem like her style.
I wont be excited by a Rob Portman/Tim Pawlenty type boring older white man choice. If he chose Sara Palin I would be against that completely. I like Christie, Paul, Rubio, Martinez, Condi, and Nikki Haley.
There aren't any VP's that would cause me to change my vote however.
Can understand the choice but there has to be less tainted "non-white" VP candidates out there acceptable to the Republican voting core.
"Not Excited" =/= Not Supportive
One is forced to ponder how long it would take, in milliseconds, before you became excited should they be the choice.
So, you're against someone who has a less than 0% chance of being named.Quote:

Thats attacking the question with integrity!
Well, of course not. I would never have presumed there was.Quote:

Genographic Project, a nonprofit collaborative genetic anthropological study begun in 2005 that was intended to shed light on the history of human migration through the analysis of DNA samples contributed by people worldwide. The project, which aimed to analyze more than 100,000 DNA samples collected from indigenous peoples, as well as tens of thousands of samples contributed by the general public, was the largest of its kind. Originally expected to last five years, fieldwork and analysis continued beyond 2010.
