It's not hard to believe this has going on in South Florida for at least 25 years.
It's a shame the NCAA is so skittish now about the death penalty, SMU got exactly what they deserved being a program built from the bottom up on cheating.
Miami will not be issued the death penalty because the football team funds other non-revenue sports at Miami. To many people will be hurt...girls volleyball, softball, mens golf, etc. I look for the NCAA to go after the existing students that were given the "gifts."
On a side note the former A.D. at Miami when all of this went down was the head of the infractions committee on the NCAA...what a joke! This is the same guy that cleared Derrick Rose to play at Memphis through the clearing house then over a year later said he was ineligible...this jokers name is Paul Dee. The phase he used against Memphis was "strict liability." Coach Cal today sent out a tweet and all it said was....Paul Dee....strict liability! Classic....
Miami is a small private school. Their boosters pale in comparison to FSU and Florida and the rest of the SEC. They have been mediocre the last 5-10 years. UM lost many recruits to LSU and the likes because of a last second 'change of heart.' If they're paying recruits, then they're doing an awful job at it.
I don't really buy this. You can say schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton are small private schools yet they have endowments topped by no one.
South Beach is a cesspool of people who want to flaunt their money and be famous. I haven't been to Gainsville or Tallahassee but I would imagine there is more money and flaunting down in Miami than in either of those two cities combined.
I think it's kinda silly to even talk about Miami deserving the death penalty right now. The SMU scandal was really really bad.
I expect Miami will be hoisted on Dee's own petard, so to speak, since the primary logic behind USC's sanctions was that the only way USC could not have known about the Bush and Mayo situations was for compliance to actively avoid doing their jobs. Hammer, meet another nail.
However, I will quibble with one thing -- the infractions committee does not have anything to do with clearinghouse operations, so it's not factual to say that Dee cleared Rose to play. And I doubt any other leader of the infractions committee would have made a different decision given what the organization's rules are.
And the death penalty is not off the table...
Mark Emmert says he's 'fine with' death penalty
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
NCAA vice president of enforcement Julie Roe Lach said Wednesday the "majority of ... support" she encounters within the organization is for sanctions like bowl bans and scholarship reductions that stop short of the death penalty--even in the event of mammoth scandals like the one unfolding at Miami. But apparently, she didn't talk to the NCAA's own president.
This being said, the death penalty isn't necessary to drive a stake through the heart of the Miami football program. With serious sanctions coming down the pipe, The U is certainly going to lose some recruits they previous thought they had, and future recruits will be less likely to consider Miami. Al Golden is probably out the door as soon as the season ends. So even if the investigation takes 2-3 years, Miami will start to feel the effects much sooner. A five-year bowl ban and a loss of 10 scholarships per incoming class for at least that long will have a similar impact as the death penalty without all the messy details (scheduling, TV contracts, conference realignment, etc.). It would take Miami a decade to recover from a punishment that severe.
There are many reasons to follow and mock the Miami Hurricanes scandal, ranging from the large dollar amounts to the spectacle of a 40 year old man sad that his college friends would forget about him after he stopped giving them money. But in addition to the national part of the story, there are many local angles as well. We have talked a great deal about Clint Hurtt, the Louisville Recruiting Coordinator who is at the center of the scandal, but UK fans should not forget about the former Miami Athletic Directors role as well. Paul Dee was in charge of the Miami program for 15 years, from 1993-2008 and as such, had the job of overseeing the out of control Hurricane ship. He hired Butch Davis, followed him up with Larry Coker and then finished the sundae with Randy Shannon. In addition, he headed many fundraising efforts and became very close with one Nevin Shapiro, the booster who is alleged to have given over $2,000,000 in illegal inducements to Miami athletes.
Shapiros relationship with the players has been well-documented in the thorough Yahoo Sports report But Shapiro was also very close to Dee himself, taking a number of donations from the booster and at one point, having Shapiro lead the Hurricanes on the field before the game. He either knew of Shapiros relationship with the players or was willfully negligent in discovering why this 40 year old man seemed to be boys with all of his football players, while donating huge sums of money to the school.
The Yahoo story shows that Dee is clearly an incompetent, or potentially dirty, Athletics Director. However it is also clear that Dee is a hypocrite in every sense of the word. From 2008-2010, Dee was in charge of the NCAA Committee on Infractions. He oversaw two high profile cases in USC football and Memphis basketball. During those two hearings, Dee decided to use his power to move the NCAA into a different realm of enforcement than it had previously ever enter into. Whereas before, some form of knowledge was usually required to give a school sanctions, Dee began the notion of strict liability in NCAA enforcement. He essentially claimed that anything that happens on a schools campus or in connection with its programs, should be known by the administrators and if it is not well that is tough.
In both the USC and Memphis cases, knowledge of the infringing actions was never shown, and in the Memphis case never alleged. Still Dee took the position that the programs and coaches such as Calipari should be punished on a strict liability basis. He famously said, high profile players demand high profile compliance. While making those comments, Dee set himself out to be a new renegade enforcer of college athletics, sick of excuses and forcing compliance to all rules. And yet now we find out that Dee oversaw what potentially may be the most egregious rule-breaking over the past two decades in college athletics. Whereas USC had one main player (Reggie Bush) who took money from outside boosters/agents and Memphis had one player (Derrick Rose) whose ACT score was in question, Miami has 72 CONFIRMED players who took illegal benefits. And all of those benefits were taken from a booster so connected to the program that he was allowed to run out on the field with the team at a home game.
Hypocrisy is a word thrown around all the time in the world and it is often not appropriate for the situation. But in this case, hypocrisy doesnt even seem a strong enough term. Paul Dee oversaw a committee that took down John Calipari and the Memphis basketball program by creating a new no knowledge needed standard never before enforced. Now Calipari is somewhere likely seething as this same man who took away his programs accomplishments with a self-righteous standard that he was clearly not capable of following, is now proven to have been the head of the greatest rogue program of them all. All Miami games should, and one would presume will, be vacated and the program must receive the maximum punishment. But more importantly, Paul Dee has been shown to be the worst type of leader, a hypocritical weasel of a man who believes his calling is to chastise others while he willfully neglects the own rot under his nose. Matt Jones....Kentucky sports radio 8-18-11:thumbup::thumbup::beerme:
Trust me. Miami isn't getting the death penalty. I'm not going through everything, but the whole story is based on pretty flimsy evidence and the word of a convicted felon/liar. I'll give you an example:
There were 33 texts between Phillips and Shapiro between May and December of 2009 and Phillips was a frequent guest at Shapiro's house and boat. What's the problem with this argument? Phillips was playing in the NFL at this time. How is this a problem?

Shapur I Drachm
Hello all, so I was looking at my gallery when I came across the Shapur I drachm I purchased, and looked at it in more detail. Here are my questions, so I can make a more accurate and detailed attribution for it...
OBV: Does it look like Shapur is holding something, maybe a globe? It looks like it in front of his left shoulder on the drachm. Maybe it is just a fibula or something??? REV: What are the fire attendants holding? I just received it as "holding scepters," but there is clearly something else there, and I have a question about one of the scepters. To me, the fire-attendant on the left looks like he is holding a scepter in his right hand, but his left hand is on the hilt of a sword hanging on his left side, probably in a scabbard? The attendant on the right appears to be holding a scepter in his left (which I thought was a spear initially, because of the thing that is in his right), and in his right hand an inverted javelin, or arrow??? Please let me know what you see. Andrew P.S. Doesnt the left fire attendant look like Shapur, with the crown, hair, and face???

On the reverse, maybe the attendants are holding fire pokers of some sort. I say this half-joking, but being "fire attendants" it would make some sense that they would need implements for the job. ???
On the obverse, I don't see any indication of Shapur holding something. Jeff |

As to the obverse thing, here is what I see: The blue is what I thought was a globe, and the orange was what I thought was a hand clasping the globe...
Hey, they could be fire-pokers, you never know! I still think weapons, though. Andrew EDIT: Shapur had quite a schnozz! Was he from Nose City?

I perceived the blue in your diagram to be a part of Shapur's beard, which appears to be bound near the end resulting in a little puff ball thing. There appears to be a tie/binding of some sort right above the puff ball.

Jeff is right about the beard being bound with a ball at the end. This is clearly shown on less worn specimens of Shapur I.
As for the attendant being Shapur, this did not happen until Varhran I, with the figure on the left representing the king. Later, after Sapur II, both attendants may represent the king, priests or guards, depending on their headdress and stance. Gobl states the attendants on Sapur II coins can not be the king because they lack the ball above the crown which is a symbol of kingship. As for what the priest are holding and wearing, Gobl states that they hold staves and carry swords. Howard Cole |

Shooting video of skiing holiday - new K5 II???
birdseed007 wrote:
Many many thanks for your very intelligent and informed replies - although reading them was a disappointment!! To tell the truth I haven't been overly impressed with my Panasonic Lumix TZ3 - the picture quality in terms of grain and colour balance is frankly shocking - worse by far than my wife's old Fuji Finepix 6900 which was only a 3megapixel camera and bought in 2002!! In addition it has developed an irritating sticking lens cover mechanism and the battery lasts no time at all and is of a proprietary design requiring me to cart their dedicated charger around with me because it won't accept anything standard (the Ist DS by contrast will run quite happily on anybody's AA's available from any shop in the land). I think I'd rather eat my own shoes than ever buy another Lumix!! I can only assume that Panasonic must have come a long way with stills photography from what some of you have said but I would still be very dubious whether the Lumix would equal my Ist DS for stills. I suppose I was hoping that with the K5 I would have something way better than the DS for stills and something pretty good for video. (I should add that all the video cameras I have ever owned have been Panasonic so I have agreat faith in their ability to do that well)
The Olympus is a more enticing proposition, I have a very deep respect for their cameras - the old OM4 was an object of desire and the OM1 was of course just an icon... I will certainly have a look at the OM-D. I would of course be then changing my whole system though and that being the case why not just switch to Canon or even Nikon who do apparently make SLR's that are fairly good at video?? Or perhaps more radically why not a Pentax K01 and keep my existing system?
I'm beginning to suspect that sadly now might not be the right time to jump. I'm fairly sure that convergence between stills and video will come eventually the same way that convergence between Mp3 players and phones has happened. Nobody wants to take 2x cameras on holiday anymore, even people like me who care about quality. The sad thing is that Pentax haven't yet stolen a march on the competition by delivering a DSLR that can do both brilliantly. maybe I don't understand enough about the technology challenges but why haven't they been able to do this?? If they did they would be delivering something that the market really wants.
Anyway, I am very grateful to you all so far for your input. Now all I have to do is resist the temptation to buy a K5 mk 1 at the incredible prices they are being offered at as an interim option!!
Hello Birdseed
...Nobody wants to take 2x cameras on holiday anymore, even people like me who care about quality....
Now when you use a DSLR and have more than one lens with you, then it realy doesn't matter... I mean a camcorder like (for example the small one I use) is as big as the Pentax kit-lens. So it doesn't matter if there is an other lens or a camcorder in my bag.
I also don't belive that...'I'm fairly sure that convergence between stills and video will come eventually the same way that convergence between Mp3 players and phones has happene'
Stills and video need often other characteristics:
- for stills you want a fast AF / for video you want often a slower change of the focus point
- for stills you want a SR which to keep the frame and that the SR can quickly react to keep a new frame-situation/ for video you want that the SR give it up to keep the frame without jumping when you pan.
All in all we have a nice situation now: we have the choice using small sensor video cams where it's easy to have a big DOF look, and our DSLR's with the big sensors to get easy the smalll DOF look
... but I think you can't have both on a easy way in one body
best regards kikivrany

I would have to say that the Guardian is far superior to the LCP or the Keltec, but that's just me.
The Seecamp .380 and Rohrbaugh both have incredible reputations, but they are pricey and hard to get. Kahr is supposed to be releasing a .380, but they keep delaying the release and I believe it will also be in the $700 range.

Trying to log on to the PlayStation Network today? You'll be prompted with yet another mandatory firmware update. According to the PlayStation.Blog, the big new feature added to firmware 3.41 is a new "You May Like" section to the PlayStation Store. And ... that's about it, apparently.
Some commenters have already expressed some frustration with the firmware, which comes less than one month after the last mandatory update: "That's it?" "Why do we need a PS3 update for a store update?" "Would much rather have a search feature for your download list."
While firmware 3.41 is available now, PSP owners will also be able to get into the mandatory update action with firmware 6.31, which improves the "system software stability."

I was not surprised to see David Secunda's letter bashing the recent court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania ("How Can One Judge Redefine Marriage in Pa.?" May 25). However, I'd like to debate his sheer factual inaccuracies before any further judgment is made on the merit of this case.
Contrary to his claim of "forum shopping," U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III was randomly assigned the case ("Judge Named to Handle Case Trying to Legalize Gay Marriage in Pennsylvania," July 11, 2013). Far from being a liberal activist judge, Judge Jones was appointed to the federal bench by then-President George W. Bush, on the recommendation of former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum.
Mr. Secunda then retreats to the standard defense against gay marriage, that it changes a "5,000-year-old definition of marriage." If this is indeed true, then polygamy and the notion of women being their husband's property should be reinstated in our society, as these rituals were once part of our definition of marriage. Marriage has never been a static concept; it is a societal construct that has shifted in different cultures, contexts and time periods.
And to his comment about "the ends justify the means": Sometimes the entrenched majority prevents recognition of the rights of the minority through proceedings in the legislative branch. As our Founding Fathers would have hoped, the judicial branch becomes a necessary party to the resolution of grievances.
The expansion of marriage in Pennsylvania only means more freedom and equality for all couples, and I for one look forward to the increased number of cookie tables I can visit.

Don is dead
Tropical Storm Don, the fourth named storm of the 2011 season, made landfall near Baffin Bay, Texas yesterday evening around 10pm CDT in less-than-grand fashion. The storm was looking very weak for the 24 hours before landfall, but fizzled rapidly after landfall, and by early Saturday morning, there was barely a trace of the storm to show that it even existed in the first place.
NHC Hurricane Specialist Eric Blake probably said it best in this mornings 5am EDT discussion on the storm:
Figure 1. Total precipitation accumulation for the storm, estimated by radar.
The heaviest rainfall was falling south of the storm's center yesterday, so it wasn't surprising that Brownsville saw the most rain, 0.63 inches. KBRO also recorded 18 mph wind gusts. But to the north of the center, where many of the media were located, not a drop of rain fell. Corpus Christi saw zero inches of rain, but did record gale-force wind gusts (39 mph). Harlingen, near Baffin Bay, and close to where the center made landfall, saw 0.20 inches of rain and 18 mph wind gusts. This storm did very, very little to relieve any drought conditions in Southern Texas. And so it continues.
What's next: Invest 91L continues to impress
Invest 91L, which is located near 12°N 48°W in the central Atlantic, continues to impress today, and has shown signs of more organization over the past 24 hours. 91L will probably develop into a tropical cyclone before it reaches the Lesser Antilles, so residents of these islands should remain watchful and prepared. Satellite loops show not only organized thunderstorm activity, but also the makings of a surface circulation. Something this wave has working against it right now is dry air—there's a large mass of Saharan air on the north and east sides of the system, which could at least prevent significant intensification. Also, University of Wisconsin CIMSS analysis shows some strong wind shear (30-40 knots) to the north of the wave. However, I don't expect this to prevent development of the wave. Wind shear out ahead of the system is relatively low (5-15 knots). Moisture is plenty high within the system, and sea surface temperatures are warm and toasty (28°C+) and will only get warmer as 91L moves west into the Caribbean.
Figure 2. Infrared satellite of invest 91L taken at 1:15pm EDT today.
Forecast for 91L
Most of the reliable forecast models (GFS, CMC, FIM, and the ECMWF) have come to agree that 91L will develop, however, they differ on how long-lived that will be. Some of the models are suggesting it will be a short-lived tropical cyclone, not making it out of the Caribbean alive, and some suggest that it will hold together and intensify as it moves north of the Caribbean islands. The forecast track for the system will most likely be to the northwest through the Caribbean, at which point it will take a northeast turn near the Bahamas, never reaching the U.S. coast. HWRF agrees with this track (and also brings the system to category 2 strength by August 3rd). However, there is still some uncertainty that the system could track west, south of the Caribbean islands, and potentially into the Gulf of Mexico. However, none of the models that suggest this solution actually show that the wave will be a tropical cyclone at that point.
The National Hurricane Center is giving this wave an 80% chance of developing into at least Tropical Depression Five over the next 48 hours. Chances are we will see Emily out of this system. A Hurricane Hunter mission is scheduled for tomorrow at 2pm EDT, but I wouldn't be totally surprised to see them call this system this evening, given the threat to the Lesser Antilles.
Watching a northwest Caribbean disturbance
A broad area of disturbed weather is producing some heavy thunderstorms in the northwest Caribbean, southeast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Little to no low-level circulation exists with this feature, and none of the models are picking up on it. The Hurricane Center has "blobbed" this item (as I like to say) with a "near 0%" chance of developing over the next 48 hours. This disturbance could cause major flooding in the region given the amount of thunderstorm activity, and predictability for systems like this (potential Bay of Cempeche tropical cyclones) is very low. Models have a short lead time on development, and they spin up very fast once they enter the Bay of Campeche given the favorable topography of the land surrounding it. The difference between this system, though, and one like Arlene, is that there is very, very little low level circulation already present. Pre-Arlene was a bit more organized before it crossed the Yucatan, and so it's hard to imagine that this disturbance will be able to hold together, should it get that far.
If 91L develops, I'll be back tomorrow with a post.

Quoting 7544: you mean Puerto Rico |
I dont think this will hit US mainland. It will curve out to sea and become a "fish". |
It is 66 degrees here in northern Cali and it was so foggy last night it looked as though it rained this morning. Wth? |
From Joe Bastardi,,,,,, A picture is worth a thousand words ( it will reduce my words, which is good for you) Under number one is the mid level circulation which has nothing bot strong southeast winds under it. A tropical wave is still in front of this with an elongated low pressure from 13 north and 61 west to near 14.5 north and 58 west. Obviously you can not direct inflow into a center with a tropical wave, a mid level center and a low level elongated low all competing with each other. So why am I bullish on this? Because I have seen this many times, in the southwest Pacific. Large "envelopes" of low pressure have competing convergence centers within the low and finally one will take over, and the system will pull in and deepen quickly. The GFS is now WEST OF MY PATH! Amazing since it started so far east, but it may be trying to find a center in between all this. In addition , the Cleo option, which I put on the table this morning, remains something to be considered. Cleo exploded in the central Caribbean, struck Hispaniola, hit Cuba then hit Florida. She was a fist of fury when she hit Hispaniola , got torn up, but redeveloped quickly before Cuba and still had enough punch to deliver wind gusts to 120 to Miami. The point is that its not shear that is causing the delay, but the fact this is a system that has plenty of energy to draw from, but within that system there are competing factors that are working to limit what this can do. For the sake of FLA and the SE US, as well as the islands in the way, the more that happens, the better off everyone is. But this is also the kind of system that if it gets it all together, and it should as it slows the next couple of days, it can quickly feedback |
Quoting KEEPEROFTHEGATE: as long as it does exactly that and the shoots out to sea...Im fine with this track. We could use the rain. |
pretend its1935. deep in the depression. anyways your working on flaglers railroad. everyone is talking about a tropical storm coming but your making $$$. in a blinding rainstorms all of a sudden everyone decides to get out of there i believe the train was late too. so the last hope you jump on the train then the poop hits the fan. eye wall comes crashing through 200mph gusts waves of water running through and just hanging on the train. scary. they might consider evacuating the keys if this gets bad |
Aww Shucks, I was really hoping for this blog entry to get to 7000 comments before a new one was written :/ |
@lucreto yea maybe its just easier for me to remember the ones that get worse and forget the ones that don't. Just think of me as someone that's gone emeritus. The only time I really get into trying to forecast these things is when they may effect my family in FL. |
But Lucreto said LSM was Laplacian Synoptic Model. From what I've been able to glean from google, Laplacian is a theory of probabilities, based on occurrences. ie: something has happened, x number of times, which gives it the probability of happening again. Clearly not very helpful in forecasting the weather, except in the broadest terms. Quoting AussieStorm: |
I wonder what the odds were that 91L wouldn't develop by this point and perhaps not for a few more days at this rate? If that? Hope Rule and steering currents maps, right now anyway, take it on a sightseeing and hiking tour over Hispaniola and Cuba. An interesting season already. |
Quoting P451: Not gonna defend the CIMSS product but at some point you have to consider shear produced by the storm circulation. A system poking along embedded in easterly flow at 10 knots combined with an upper level wind with a healthy component of westerly flow at 20 knots would in fact yield 30 knots of 200mb-850mb shear on the NW quadrant of the mid level circulation. Shearing the northern half. Some part of the system will always be under strong shear as long as upper level winds are 20-30 knots. To put it simply-some part of the low-mid level circulation will always be in opposition to these upper level winds. |
Quoting angiest:Well, let's hope they have a hot spare so there doesn't have to be an all day rebuild. ;-) |
new blog |
Quoting CorneliaMarie: LOL Bowling? otherwise - hot, humid, icky ....... August |
114 Hrs. Uh oh.. |
many models take this system over Hispaniola, through the Bahamas, off the east coast of Florida and then at some point out to sea. The near term question is, if this happens, does it survive Hispaniola? |
Quoting atmoaggie: Sure... blame it on the storage. I guess they already tried blaming the network. (I am a storage admin.) |
Quoting P451:Kinda hard to argue with your analyst, tstorms are collapsing as fast as they are forming too. 91L is not going to have a good day today. |
Wouldn't it be more responsible to go ahead and issue at least some tropical storm watches for the lesser antilles? If this "invest" still has winds at spots at tropical storm force, wouldn't it be better to give watches for a tropical storm regardless of weather it has a closed circulation or not? |
Jim Cantore At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see 91L make it through the islands as an unnamed entity. |
Hispaniola takes it toll on the storm, but conditions looks favorable to get it's act back together in the bahamas. 96Hrs |

"The Joker was a mistaken reference," Sharlto Copley told Empire about his villian role in "District 9" director Neill Blomkamp's upcoming dystopian epic "Elysium." "I was really just saying that that was the last time I saw a villain that inspired me: somebody that set the bar. There's no connection or likeness to The Joker in terms of the character. What I did with him — which I try to do with all my original characters — was draw from real life. I combined references from a very infamous South African military battalion called 32 Battalion, that fought in the Border Wars in South Africa, and a stereotype of character that you get in the south of Johannesburg, where the guys are a little bit more comfortable with violence!"
Starring Matt Damon, "Elysium" is set in the year 2159 where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth. Damon plays a man who takes on a mission that could bring equality to the polarized worlds.
So yes, just like "District 9," and the slums of South Africa that had the aliens in the movies as second-class citizens, Blomkamp has brought another social backdrop to his latest sci-fi film. And frankly, we're all for it. The background of "District 9" gave it a heft and weight that some sci-fi films lack, so we're hoping the director thrills, but also manages to stimulate the brain and make us think a little bit too.
Due August 9, 2013, "Elysium" also stars Jodie Foster, William Fichtner, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, Talisa Soto and Michael Shanks. Empire offers a first look at Copley's character below.

Pegatron also faces the same type of criticism that another supplier, Foxconn, has faced for the past couple of years, with reports of horrible working conditions and environmental dangers, but the withholding of pay is the primary concern this time.
Since the major stories regarding Foxconn came out in 2011 and 2012, Apple has continued releasing Supplier Responsibility Reports to keep a close eye on its supply chain.
Are Reports Trustworthy?
Unlike some of the claims and reports that come solely from organizations within China, China Labor Watch is based in New York, which adds some credibility to its claims.
By no means are these reports coming out for the first time either. China Labor Watch released a report in 2012 stating that workers at Foxconn were working close to six times the maximum amount of overtime hours. While Foxconn might not be the same as Pegatron, its records have been equally spotty.
As the claims piled up against Foxconn, Apple decided that it would try and move away from using Foxconn factories, eventually resulting in Pegatron becoming one of the main iPad, iPhone, and Mac manufacturers. Foxconn has maintained its position as Apple's largest manufacturer, but Pegatron has been growing and now has 70,000 workers.
China Labor Watch has supposedly been working undercover in three Pegatron factories since March to conduct 200 interviews with workers. The interviews have been the basis for its recent report stating that Apple has yet to fix worker conditions along its supply chain.
Apple's Response
Within a few hours of China Labor Watch's most recent report coming to light, Apple released its own statement regarding the issue.
"Their latest report contains claims that are new to us and we will investigate them immediately," Apple said.
Apple has conducted 15 audits since 2007 at Pegatron facilities covering 130,000 workers. Whether or not these audits do anything is up for debate, since it was discovered there are consulting firms specifically helping Chinese factories pass audits by generating both real and fake records.
Apple says that it has worked closely with China Labor Watch in the recent past to make sure there are no issues along its supply chain, and some of the organization's claims have been proven as a result of Apple's cooperation.
Apple said in its statement Monday that it would audit the Pegatron factories in an attempt to fix any wage or working-condition issues.
"All core violations must be stopped and corrected immediately," Apple said. "Our preference is to fix problems so they don't happen again, rather than just fire the supplier."

[1]After climbing from his winning car Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Tony Stewart made the understatement of the year.
"We've got a shot at this thing," said Stewart, who by taking the checkered flag in the Sylvania 300 became the second driver to win the first two races in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup in the same year.
In a dramatic reversal of fortune, Stewart won the race—and grabbed a seven-point lead in the Cup standings over 12th-place finisher Kevin Harvick—when Clint Bowyer ran out of fuel with fewer than three laps to go.
"If that's not a flip-flop from last year, I don't know what is," Stewart radioed to crew chief Darian Grubb after crossing the finish line.
Stewart led last year's Chase race at the Magic Mile but handed the victory to Bowyer when he ran out of fuel on the final lap.
With his second straight victory, his second of the season and the 41st of his career, Stewart has more than a shot at the title. The 2002 and 2005 Cup champion, who downplayed his own chances entering NASCAR's 10-race playoff, now has to be considered the favorite.
Brad Keselowski parlayed pit strategy into a second-place run, and Greg Biffle, who won the first two Chase races in 2008, came home third, followed by Jeff Gordon and Brian Vickers. Matt Kenseth, David Ragan, Carl Edwards, Juan Pablo Montoya and Regan Smith completed the top 10.
"I know exactly how (Bowyer) feels right now," Stewart said. "I saw him slow down down the back, and I thought, 'Oh, no, you're kidding me.' That's not the way you want to win, but we're in the Chase now, and we've got to get everything we can get."
Bowyer failed to complete the final two laps and finished 26th.
A caution for Landon Cassill's spin on Lap 156 played right into Gordon's hands just past the halfway point in the 300-lap race. By putting off their pit stops as long as possible, Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Mark Martin and Ragan were the only drivers on the lead lap when the yellow flag flew.
Gordon, who led a race-high 78 laps, Martin and Ragan came to pit road on Lap 158, giving them the latitude to finish the race on one more stop. The caution also benefited Keselowski, who had pitted before the caution on Lap 154 but within a one-stop window.
A long cycle of green-flag stops that began with Kahne's visit to pit road on Lap 217 shuffled the running order. Kahne was the leader on Lap 247 but soon surrendered the top spot to Bowyer, who had stopped on Lap 226.
With 40 laps left, Bowyer—in fuel conservation mode—led Stewart, Gordon, Kahne and Biffle, with Martin, Keselowski, Ragan, Denny Hamlin and Montoya chasing. Hamlin, who also ran out of fuel, finished 29th.
Keselowski felt his team got maximum performance out of a car that probably would not have run second if fuel consumption hadn't been a factor. Keselowski, now third in the standings and 11 points behind Stewart, also marveled at how far he has come in a short time.
"It's funny, because 10 races ago, we left Loudon here 23rd in points," Keselowski said. "Who'd have ever thought we'd be third in 10 weeks? It's been a good road to travel down the last few weeks, and today was no exception.
"We weren't the fastest car—I'd be lying if I tried to tell you we were—but we made good adjustments to our car, got it to where it was a good, solid top-10 car and drove up to fourth or fifth there with 100 to go, 80 to go, whatever that was. … All in all, I felt like we earned the majority of our good fortune."
With eight race left in the Chase, only three drivers—Harvick, Keselowski and Edwards (14 points back)—are within 20 points of Stewart.

Sylacauga's mayor and city council members have found themselves squeezed between a rock and a hard place during the past year, faced with a Gordian knot that has been tangled and tightened for at least 16 years.
That's when a previous council transferred title for acreage at the airport to the city's Industrial Development Board. The IDB, in cooperation with other entities, built a $1.4 million speculative building on part of that land in hopes of attracting an industrial tenant. That was about seven years ago and there have been no takers.
Plans drawn up for expansions and improvements at the airport, which would have been made largely through federal grants from the Federal Aviation Administration, were put on hold after it was belatedly discovered that the IDB's acreage was included in those plans. The FAA offered to buy some of the IDB's acreage at fair market value in order to proceed with expansion at the airport, but IDB members refused to sell. They argue that the building will be more attractive to a potential occupant with the additional acreage available for expansion.
Grants from the FAA for improvements and expansions are critical to the operations and maintenance of small airports. Without them, more of the expense for maintenance falls on the owner of the airport—in this case, that is the city of Sylacauga.
In a split decision last week the city council voted to remove the IDB acreage from the plan for expansion at the airport, which the FAA had agreed to fund. By removing that acreage, the city is risking not only this particular FAA grant, but also future grants. A representative from the FAA previously told the council that without the land in question development on that side of the airfield is blocked, and the agency would not want to rebuild something "you destroyed by taking away the utility of the airport."
The current mayor and council didn't create the situation, and it's not entirely clear how or why the land so close to the runway was given to the IDB in the first place. That might have been part of the discussions the mayor and council members secretly had last month. They met in small groups in serial meetings with the engineering firm that drew up the airport expansion plan in 2007. Technically the serial meetings were legal. A 2012 Alabama Supreme Court ruling said the state's current Open Meetings Act does not specifically prohibit serial meetings; bills moving through the Legislature now have more specific language to ban the practice, and help the public better understand how their government works and why decisions are made.
Meanwhile, we have the IDB holding on to land to make a $1.4 million spec building more desirable for a tenant who wants to locate near an airport, but by holding on to that land future FAA grants are being jeopardized. If future FAA grants are cut off, the city will be responsible for the full costs of maintenance and improvements at the airport. Whether future councils would be willing or able to fund those costs puts the airport's long-term future at risk.
Both the airport and the IDB are important to the city's future, and also to each other's success. It would be in everyone's interest to find a solution that keeps both entities on solid ground.

When holiday shoppers make a bad choice, the worst result may be an ugly sweater. But Congress recently made a bad choice that is ruining the holidays for over a million families — and will spoil the coming new year for millions more.
That was the decision — imposed by conservatives — not to extend unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless, while maintaining huge tax loopholes for wealthy Wall Streeters and multinational corporations. Congress can reverse its choice in early January, but the clock is ticking.
We are emerging from the worst employment crisis in three-quarters of a century. Job losses in the Great Recession were very deep. The unemployment rate hit 10 percent for only the second time since the 1930s, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Moreover, the ranks of the long-term unemployed — those out of work for more than six months — hit a post-World War II record. Even now, over a third of those out of work have been so long term.
And little wonder: in November, there were almost three unemployed people for every job opening. The problem isn't that people don't want to work; it's that there aren't enough jobs.
Faced with this cruel reality, in the recent budget deal members of Congress had the chance to extend unemployment benefits for 1.3 million Americans — including 20,000 recent veterans — whose benefits run out three days after Christmas. Instead, they turned their backs on those in need and headed home for the holidays. What's more, without Congressional action, another 3.6 million long-term unemployed will lose their benefits in 2014.
Extending unemployment benefits is not only a lifeline for the jobless; it also boosts our economy, as hard-pressed families immediately use the money to buy essentials.
While playing Scrooge to constituents Congress played Santa Claus to campaign contributors by refusing in the budget deal to close any tax loopholes that benefit corporations and the wealthy.
Closing just three tax loopholes would raise four times more revenue than the $25 billion it costs to extend expiring unemployment benefits for millions of Americans next year.
A recent poll by Hart Research Associates shows that the American public strongly supports such measures.
Congress could raise $60 billion if it closed one loophole that subsidizes the offshoring of American jobs. Corporations are allowed to deduct from their federal income taxes all the costs of sending a U.S. plant or office offshore (shipping bills, building the new facility, interest costs on the loans to finance the move). Yet, companies don't have to pay U.S. taxes on the foreign operations' profits until those earnings are brought home, which many companies never do. The American public supports closing this corporate tax loophole by a whopping 62 to 36 percent margin.
If Wall Street billionaires were required to simply treat their salaries as salaries 'Äî rather than more lightly taxed capital gains 'Äî we could bring in $17.4 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Right now hedge fund chiefs and other money managers can cut their tax bill almost in half by claiming their huge earnings are eligible for a 23.8 percent rate, when they should be paying 39.6 percent. The American people strongly disapprove of this "carried interest" loophole, 68 percent to 28 percent.
Corporations play lots of financial games with their stock options (the right to purchase shares, often at a big discount). When they award them to top executives, corporations write off on their taxes more than their own books say the options are worth. They also use them to get around a $1 million limit on the deductibility of salaries — fueling excessive executive compensation. Facebook used stock options manipulation to create a $16 billion tax deduction, according to Senate investigators. Stopping this option abuse would raise $25 billion, the exact cost of the unemployment extension.
So Congress has to reverse course. It's already spoiled the Christmas holiday for more than a million out-of-work Americans. Now it needs to make a New Year's resolution that the first order of business when it returns in January will be to renew benefits for the long-term unemployed. And if it wants to pay for it, close a tax loophole or two to make sure big corporations and wealthy money managers pay a fairer share of taxes.
Frank Clemente is executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness.

Check out our op-ed, co-written with Frank Place from the World Agroforestry Centre, in yesterday's Charleston Gazette. In West Virginia, just a few miles outside of Charleston, fields are cleared for livestock and agriculture, mountaintops are blasted for mining and the Kanawha forest is protected as national park. But in sub-Saharan Africa, the World Agroforestry Centre is helping farmers integrate all of these elements of nature together through agroforestry—the inclusion of trees alongside crops— to increase yields, provide livestock fodder, improve soil quality, regulate water flows and generate more income.
To read more about agroforestry and how farmers in the United States can benefit from learning about techniques being used by farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, see: Re-Greening the Sahel, An Evergreen Revolution?

The Matterhorn over the Village
While taking the train up a nearby mountain in the town of Zermatt, there is one quick moment when you get this perfect view of the village and the Matterhorn together.
I think I really liked this place because I remember riding the Matterhorn with my dad when I was a kid, and my child-mind could not conceive of an actual Matterhorn!

Here's the first song from Rohit Shetty's much talked about action movie starring Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. In all honesty, we are not thrilled by it, though the trailer really grabbed our attention. Watch the number and tell us what you think….
Loud and over-the-top, the trailer of Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express looked really entertaining and we were eagerly waiting for the first song to be released. But what we got in the bargain for our long wait is not exactly worth all the anticipation. Given the flavour of the film, we expected a nicely colourful song featuring the lead pair of Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, or even a mast item scene with that pretty gal from the South, Priyamani.
But alas, we were in for a disappointment. One two three four might be your regular average dhinchak tapori number, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype the movie has created. Priyamani and our fave star Shahrukh are trying really hard to make this one explosive, but their energetic moves offer not much that will light up your eyes. Their efforts are not helped by the quirky lyrics or the rather thanda composition by Vishal Shekhar. We are still trying to figure out what exactly SRK is doing in this song.
We liked the title song, Chennai Express. And we kinda approved of the sountrack that we caught a listen of in the trailer. This one….not so much. What do you think, BollywoodLifers?

Paid advertisements Weekly Business ProfileBosque Brewing Co. Type of business: Brewery Owners: Hometown: Business Address: 8900 San Mateo Blvd., Suite I Albuquerque NM 87113 (505) 750-7596 Business Email: Business Website: Number of Employees: What was your first job? Between the five owners, we've been everything from motorcycle mechanics and bar tenders to computer programmers and commercial real estate appraisers. How did you get started in this business? With tiny home brewed batches in our back yards. Why did you choose this business? We knew that we all wanted to be in business together, so we decided to take our mutual passions for craft beer and turn it into a business venture. What is your or your company's greatest asset? Without the diligence and hard work of every single person involved in this company, from the owner/brewers to the server/bartenders, none of this would be possible. The Bosque family is our greatest asset. Why did you choose to do business in Albuquerque? We each love New Mexico, and as we began to put this company together there was never a question of where we wanted our base of operations to be ... it just had to be here at home, in the Duke City. What motivates you to succeed besides the desire to make money? The craft beer industry is made up of a wide range of characters, and we love being a part of such a diverse and eclectic community. Also, this business allows us to indulge in our creative selves, and we feel that being creative and loving what you do is one of the more critical aspects of being successful. How would you define your position within the marketplace or within your market segment? We are just one of many fantastic breweries here in New Mexico, which makes it an exciting time to be in this business. The market for craft beer is quickly expanding and there is still so much room for growth that we feel like there's plenty of space for all of these awesome New Mexico breweries. And it's very nice to be in an industry where we all support each other's efforts. What are your growth goals? We're looking forward to opening locations throughout New Mexico, as well as expanding into packaging and distributing many of our most popular brews. What contributions to the community (charitable or otherwise) are you most proud of? Bosque is proud to feature a monthly Adoption Brew. With this program we've committed to donating $1 from every sale of that month's Adoption Brew to the ABBA Fund, an organization that extends 0% interest loans to families aspiring to adopt domestically and internationally. | Today's EventsSeventh Annual Spay-ghetti and No Balls Lunch at Luigi's Restaurant & PizzeriaDuke City Roller Derby Season Opener at Heights Community CenterMore Recommended Events ›› | |

How much HP?
How much HP would it take to break 200 mph in a V?

Re: How much HP?
I know at least 4-5 V's that are in the 700+ HP range that are very close to 200 in a standing mile. Are you talking about top speed in general or? If you have an automatic, you have to have the tranny tuned to eliminate the factory safety that prohibits shifting from 5-6th under full throttle until 217 mph

That's a good question. My friend Karl Schello runs the Texas mile and Mojave mile in a late model Challenger. He has over 1000Hp and he goes a bit over 200mph in the standing mile. I'd assume you would need a lot more in the V to top 200 in a standing mile of course. Most likely you could get to 200mph with some basic tuning if your driving a manual and if you are running on the flats where there are no measured distance constraints

text: Certainly Daryl Stuermer is probably best known for his work in the touring version of Genesis. The truth is, though, he's a great musician in his own right and Go is his latest disc. The disc is composed of a batch of fusion instrumentals that really work quite well. I have to say that a fully instrumental disc can tend to bog down with sameyness, and this one is no exception. Stuermer manages to hold that wolf at bay fairly well with enough style changes, but still by the end it starts to sound a little too similar from one track to another. The thing is, as good as the music is, that's only a minor complaint.

Yahoo News fired its chief political correspondent on Wednesday for an off-the-cuff remark about Republicans partying "with black people drowning."
David Chalian, the Yahoo News Washington Bureau Chief, made the comment privately during a webcast of the Republican National convention on Monday in partnership with ABC News, but it was picked up by a live microphone.
With Hurricane Isaac approaching New Orleans as the convention got underway, Chalian was heard saying to an unidentified guest, "Feel free to say, 'They're not concerned at all. They are happy to have a party with black people drowning.'"
The remark was made over video of Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney and his wife Ann, and laughter was heard in the background.
Yahoo said in statement that Chalian's remark "was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo."
"He has been terminated effective immediately. We have already reached out to the Romney campaign, and we apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended." Chalian later apologized on his Facebook page for "making an inappropriate and thoughtless joke."
"I was commenting on the challenge of staging a convention during a hurricane and about campaign optics," he said.
Chalian said he had apologized to Romney and that he regretted "causing any distraction from the exceptional coverage of the Republican convention by Yahoo News and ABC News."
The Republican Party's national convention in Tampa, Florida, was delayed by strong winds and heavy rains as Isaac grew from a tropical storm to a hurricane on its path up the Gulf Coast.

Newborn intensive care unit - staff; Neonatal intensive care unit - staff
This article discusses the primary team of caregivers who are involved in the care of your infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The staff often includes the following:
This health care provider is a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. He or she works under the supervision of a neonatologist. An allied health professional may have much more experience in patient care than a resident, but will not have had the same amount of education and training.
The attending doctor is the main doctor responsible for your baby's care. The attending doctor has completed fellowship training in neonatology and residency training in pediatrics. This doctor, called a neonatologist, is a pediatrician with special training in caring for babies who are sick and require intensive care after birth.
Although there are many different people involved in your baby's care while in the NICU, it is the neonatologist who determines and coordinates the daily plan of care. At times, the neonatologist might consult with other specialists to help with your baby's care.
A neonatology fellow is a doctor who has completed a residency in general pediatrics and is now training in neonatology.
A medical student is someone who has not yet completed medical school. The medical student might examine and manage a patient in the hospital, but needs to have all of his or her orders reviewed and approved by a doctor.
This type of nurse has received special training in caring for babies in the NICU. Nurses play a very important role in monitoring the baby and supporting and educating the family. Of all the caregivers in the NICU, nurses usually spend the most time at a baby's bedside caring for the baby, as well as the family. A nurse might also be a member of the NICU transport team or become an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) specialist after special training.
A pharmacist is a professional with education and training in the preparation of medications used in the NICU. Pharmacists help prepare medications such as antibiotics, immunizations, or intravenous (IV) solutions, such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
A dietitian or nutritionist is a professional who is educated and trained in nutrition. This includes human milk, vitamin and mineral supplements, and preterm infant formulas used in the NICU. Dietitians help monitor what babies are fed, how their bodies respond to the food, and how they grow.
Residents are doctors who have completed medical school and are training in a medical specialty. In pediatrics, the residency training takes 3 years.
A surgeon is a doctor with special training in the diagnosis and care of conditions that require surgery. A pediatric surgeon has more advanced training in surgery for children. Surgeons are asked to see babies in the NICU who may need surgery for birth defects or conditions that occur after birth, such as necrotizing enterocolitis. Surgeons might also be asked to place central catheters in babies who need long-term intravenous fluids.
Residents are part of the surgical team. A general surgery residency takes 4 years and includes some training in pediatric surgery.
Caregivers from other specialties, such as pediatric cardiology or pediatric surgery, may be part of consultant teams involved in caring for babies in the NICU. For more information see: NICU consultants and support staff

"When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers."
— East African proverb
As the White House and Congress, Republicans and Democrats, trade blows over who is at fault for the looming across-the-board budget cuts known as the sequester, it is federal workers who will get hit.
With Congress appearing incapable of avoiding $85 billion in automatic cuts by the March 1 deadline, agencies are preparing to force unpaid furlough days on workers that could cost them up to a fifth of their pay.
Those workers must be asking themselves what would happen if they missed such an important deadline, for the second time in as many months. They know what would happen, but the staff can't punish Congress, no matter how much that might be warranted.
In a notice to employees Wednesday, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said he is "deeply concerned about the potential direct impact of sequestration on you and your families," before warning them that should "sequestration occur and continue for a substantial period, DoD will be forced to place the vast majority of its civilian workforce on administrative furlough."
About 800,000 Defense Department civilians could face 22 unpaid leave days, spread out over as many weeks, amounting to a 20 percent pay cut over that period.
Because work requirements will not fall, Panetta said in a letter to the Senate, "the workload on each employee . . . will be increased beyond what can reasonably be achieved."
Although Panetta had previously announced the number of furloughs, the department's latest notice made J. David Cox Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, hot.
"These employees aren't some fat cat bureaucrats in a plush Washington office," he said. "They are the firefighters who safeguard our bases, the health-care professionals who treat injured soldiers in military hospitals, the mechanics who repair our tanks and planes, the logistics personnel who ensure supplies make it to our troops, the acquisition experts who prevent big defense contractors from ripping off taxpayers."
He urged "Congress to find a solution to this manufactured crisis that does not punish our hard-working federal employees, cripple our economic recovery or gut federal programs and services."
In letters to Capitol Hill and labor organizations and in congressional testimony, other agencies also have informed lawmakers of the impact sequestration would have on employees, as well as services:
Agriculture: Plans to furlough about one-third of its workforce, which would lead to "a nationwide shutdown of meat and poultry plants during a furlough of inspection personnel."
Commerce: "Up to 2,600 NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) employees would have to be furloughed, approximately 2,700 positions would not be filled, and the number of contractors would have to be reduced by about 1,400." Census vacancies would remain vacant.
Justice: "The Department estimates that it would lose the equivalent of more than 1,000 federal agents . . . as well as 1,300 correctional officers."
"The FBI is faced with furloughing all personnel, including agents and intelligence analysts, for up to 14 days, as well as implementing a hiring freeze. This would have the equivalent effect of cutting approximately 2,285 onboard employees, including 775 Special Agents."
Among Justice agencies, nearly 36,700 Bureau of Prisons workers face furlough for an average of 12 days, 5,100 U.S. marshals for up to 13 days and all civil division employees for up to seven days.
Education: The sequester "would likely require the Department to furlough many of its own employees for multiple days."
Energy: "Sequestration would affect thousands of jobs among Federal, contractor and grant awardee personnel."
Homeland Security: "Sequestration would necessitate furloughs of up to 14 days for a significant portion of our frontline law enforcement personnel, and could potentially result in reductions in force at the Department."
The Transportation Security Administration "would need to initiate a hiring freeze for all TSO [transportation security officer] positions in March, eliminate overtime, and furlough its 50,000 officers for up to seven days."
Secret Service agents and uniform personnel would face furloughs of up to seven days.
"Beginning April 1, CBP [Customs and Border Protection] would have to reduce its work hours by the equivalent of over 5,000 Border Patrol agents and the equivalent of over 2,750 CBP Officers."
CBP would "implement an agency-wide furlough of up to fourteen (14) non-consecutive work days for each employee."
Housing and Urban Development: "Furloughs or other personnel actions may well be required to comply with cuts mandated by sequestration."
Interior: Sequesters would limit the department's "ability to sustain a full complement of seasonal employees needed for firefighting, law enforcement and visitor services."
NASA: Some inspector general vacancies would go unfilled.
National Science Foundation: The agency would have to cut nearly 1,000 research grants.
Social Security Administration: Sequestration would lead to more than 5,000 positions lost through attrition and termination of more than 1,500 temporary and other employees and a general elimination of overtime.
Transportation: The "vast majority" of the Federal Aviation Administration's nearly 47,000 employees would be furloughed for about one day per pay period through September.
Treasury: "Most Treasury employees would face furloughs, which would have a cascading effect on employees' families as well as on the economy at large. The effects would be particularly painful at the IRS. . . . Other bureaus would impose hiring freezes and cut costs such as travel and training, but "these actions would not be sufficient to avoid furloughs entirely as we already would be five months into the fiscal year."
The cuts would be severe and unsparing.
The reaction of Colleen M. Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, spoke for many: "With the grave consequences so clear to so many people, organizations and vital government programs, it is hard to believe Congress will choose to pursue this wrong-headed course."

After starting an hour late, last night's National Board of Review 2011 Awards Gala, which celebrates a slate of winners who were announced more than a month ago, blandly plugged along.
And then, around its midway point, surprise presenter O'Donnell took to the stage wearing what looked like a shiny drape to award the documentary "Crime After Crime" with the NBR Freedom of Expression Award.
The comedienne then launched into an assault on the National Society of Film Critics for naming "Melancholia" best picture of the year over the weekend ("If I had the choice between giving birth to a flaming child on the floor of an igloo, or watching that film again, I would choose the birth of my child"); trashed Denmark and Woody Allen in one swift coup ("I'm happy to hear that Lars von Trier is not here today. He's from Denmark. Fuck it, I don't know where that country is, I'll never look for him, or Woody Allen. Pedophile? Who's to say?"); and pissed off some, if not all, of the Board. ("I'm so happy that they were talking about the shit on the tables. Because I've learned there are no gift bags, it's gonna be a fucking free-for-all… this is one crazy-ass black-tie dinner.")
Nothing upstaged O'Donnell's one-woman show; not even Best Actor winner (and frequent jokester) George Clooney, who was on his best behavior in accepting the award from his "The Descendants" director Alexander Payne.
Keira Knightley came close when she payed tribute to Michael Fassbender — the night's Spotlight winner and her co-star in "A Dangerous Method" — by saying: "If I had to be spanked by anybody, I'm glad it was by you." So did Best Actress presenter Frances McDormand who matter-of-factly stated that she didn't know who the National Board of Review was. She also didn't seem to care.
Elsewhere, Breakthrough Directorial Debut winner J.C. Chandor ("Margin Call") became visibly emotional after delivering a four-minute (!) speech, Breakthough Performance winner Rooney Mara sang praises of her "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" director David Fincher, despite him urging her not to do so via email a few hours earlier, and presenter Naomi Watts thanked her director on "The Ring," Gore Verbinski (there to accept the Best Animated Feature award for "Rango"), for teaching her how to scream.

Knock, Knock,
Can I come in? I turned Fifty today and this mark the second year on the bike and off the cigarettes. I'm from Pittsburgh and do most of my 60 miles a week on the road on Sun morn.......Hi y'all, oops I mean Hi yinz!
Thanks much!
Sure you can come in. I've been crashing this party for a year now and I don't turn 47 till next month.
;) |
Get off the lawn--Turn that music down- and find my glasses.
Then you will fit in. |
And I thought we were going to read a good joke!!
Anyway, I'm here, and you are very welcome. Do you eat pie? |
Welcome, You must go out and ride a 50 mile birthday ride (being a few days late is OK) and then report back in with pictures.
Happy Birthday.
Two ride reports due within the next week..... Birthday "Rode my age" ride, & "Pie Ride' on next Saturday. Pictures are good too. And you thought this forum would be easy?!?! |
Pittsburgh?!? :eek: I don't know...
:p Welcome! |
celebrate your birthday with great italian pastries from Moio's !
Thanks everyone. I think I need the background on the pie ride. Me and the riding buddy have picked up the large chocolate chip cookie habit. Is that close?
We did the 50 mile ride last Sunday, through the streets of Pittsburgh. What's wrong with that? You' ll hear and see a lot of us next weekend if all the idiots don't destroy it! So where do I sign up for the 50+ jersey? Kevin |
Welcome. No, chocolate chip cookies will not substitute for pie. You may have chocolate creme pie if you wish though.
there is a string going on this forum that explains the rules and enforcement of said rules,or lack thereof of both the rules and enforcement. :D
Welcome from a former W PA'er. I always ride with Steeler logo stickers on my helmets. If you ride in the city then you should consider Danny Chew's Pittsburgh Dirty Dozen ride at the end of November. (just kidding) http://www.dannychew.com/dd.html
Hey nivekdodge...what part of the 'burgh are you from? I recently relocated from Pgh to South Carolina.
In case you want to know South Carolina = Butler, PA |
This is a ride in which you have to eat PIE- Blueberry preferably but substitutions can be made. Realising that some of us have a weight problem- and also like PIE- if more than one slice is taken at the prescribed 15 miles (Or 7.5 if you have it on the ride) Or if more than one stop is made to eat More PIE- then you can work it off by increasing milage. As you have already stated that your milage per ride is around 50 miles- This will mean a Century ride at least for you. But if you contact Retro Grouch- He may allow you to just do his milage while he has the PIE. Doesn't sound like a good trade to me but Retro does have a problem (Or Two) |
Welcome, and in just enuf time to get you primed for the 60+ Forum....
Mini fact about Canton ave. It was paved in 77 but summer heat sent the asphalt down the hill and they came out and cleared off all the cobblestones. |
All times are GMT -6. The time now is 05:02 PM. |
