If two politicians on different continents both give an upthrust middle finger to the camera in the same week, is that enough to call it a global trend?
Perhaps we need one more, but here's what we have so far.
First there was failed New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who, in a rare display of impulsive behavior, expressed his feelings toward a reporter as he left his election night party Tuesday.
Then there's Peer Steinbrueck, a major figure in the Social Democratic Party in Germany, a country preparing for national elections on Sept. 22.
Many Germans are complaining about how boring their national election season has been. But Steinbrueck, the main challenger to Chancellor Angela Merkel, livened things up with a photo published Friday in a major German newspaper, Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
A reporter asked Steinbrueck to answer with gestures rather than words. The newspaper says its done these kind of stories, entitled "Don't Say Anything," many times before.
But what Steinbrueck did was apparently a first. When asked if he worries about the nasty nicknames he's acquired during the campaign, for example "Problem Peer" or "Peerlusconi" (rhyming with the last name of the controversial former Italian prime minister), Steinbrueck answered with a one-finger salute.
The Suedeutsche Zeitung – with Steinbrueck's blessing – posted the photo on its cover, and another national German newspaper, Bild, also featured the photo on its front page.
Steinbrueck also tweeted a defense of his gesture yesterday, saying: "Straight talk doesn't always need words, like when one is asked constant (rubbish) rather than important questions."
Merkel's political party, meanwhile, declined to comment.

This is a very nice toiletry bag. The polka dots look great! It has a compartment for everything! Two on each side of the bag outside, two large inside zippered ones inside, two pouches, and ten elastic holders for things like deodarant and toothpaste. I love this bag! I will be using it every time I travel!

Nonlinear interdependence of the Chinese stock markets
The methodologies and assumptions in financial integration studies are problematic and may lead to spurious empirical results. Using surrogate data analysis and the mutual prediction method of testing for nonlinear interdependence, it is feasible for an analyst, with a scant knowledge of the underlying dynamics of two dynamical systems, to show whether or not the systems are interdependent. This study applies these techniques in testing for nonlinear interdependence of three Chinese stock markets: Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. The empirical results of the present study indicate that the stock market series are nonlinear and that the Chinese stock exchanges are nonlinearly interdependent. Specifically, the evidence indicates that Shanghai and Shenzhen markets are bi-directionally interdependent, while Shanghai and Hong Kong as well as Shenzhen and Hong Kong markets are unidirectionally interdependent, with the direction of interdependence going from the mainland's markets to the Hong Kong market.

They try your patience, they make you worry, they give you gray hairs … and as if all that weren't enough, your kids make you fat, too. It's a multi-step, insidious process — here are the six ways they pull it off.
1. Pregnancy and the aftermath.
It's a no-brainer that you gain weight during pregnancy — most ob-gyns now recommend that you gain between 25 and 35 pounds, assuming that you're at or near a healthy weight pre-pregnancy and carrying just one baby.
So even if you deliver a whopping baby the size of a honeybaked ham, and lose all of that retained fluid (long time, no see, ankles!), you're still looking at a couple dozen extra pounds accompanying you home from the hospital, along with your new bundle of joy and the diapers you swiped from the birthing suite.
The good news: Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories. The bad news: Breastfeeding makes you eat like a ravenous beast. And speaking of eating…

Rank | Name | Pos | Location | Stars | Ht | Wt | School |
Saul Aguilera | P | Manassas, VAOsbourn Park Coach Rodney Hodgson told us "Saul is an outstanding student athlete. On the bump he works fast and throws strikes. He looked like a senior not a freshman this past season. Great composure!" | 6'1" | 170 | list | ||
Josh Barrick | INF | Lynchburg, VALiberty Christian Academy Mike Morris, LCA coach told us "As a freshman last year I believe that Barrick was as good or better defensively than any other short stop in the state. Without question he is the best shortstop I have ever coached. I know you know his stats but for a freshman to hit in the 3 hole and put up the type of numbers he did last season was amazing." | 6'0" | 170 | list | ||
Blake Bivens | P | Sutherlin, VAGeorge Washington Coach Wayne Shelton said "Blake is an outstanding young man. He is talented and works extremely hard. He excels in the classroom. Only a sophomore, the best player I have coached." | 6'2" | 215 | list | ||
Derek Casey | P | Mechanicville, VAHanover Cardinals coach Rich Graham told us "Derek has done nothing but impress every coach who gets to see him compete. As a freshman he was a very reliable varsity arm and I knew that he was the type of kid we wanted to lock in on for the Cardinals. We are fortunate to have Derek as one of our main staples for our Cardinal pitching staff for the next 2 years and I can't wait to see how high his ceiling is. He has turned the heads of ACC programs already and he still has so much room to grow and improve that I can't even imagine what opportunities he is going to open up for himself over the next 24 months. It's not just his physical talent that impresses us but his make-up and composure are at a very high level already - far beyond his years." | 5'11" | 165 | Virginia | ||
Zach Clinton | INF | Forest, VALiberty Christian Academy Another prospect from LCA, Coach Mike Morris said: "The best word I can use for Zach Clinton is consistent. He went through his entire freshman season and committed only 1 error. A great accomplishment for a 2nd baseman. Although Zach is primarily a 2nd baseman he can play all positions extremely well. I literally have no reservations about putting Zach in any defensive situation. Zach is clutch! If the game is on the line I want Zach at bat. He thrives in those type of situations. He is a great hitter with men in scoring position. Zach hit mostly in the 2 hole for use last season." | 6'1" | 160 | list | ||
Charlie Cody | 3B | Chesapeake, VAGreat Bridge Cane's Coach Jeff Petty said of Cody "Charlie Cody has a lot of natural ability. I have always liked his swing. He gets the barrel thru the zone, and does so with authority. Cody is another kid who can really run. Cody has been clocked as low as 6.7, and has a shot to get faster. Very athletic kid, and can be a tough out. Cody is an outstanding student as well." | 6'1" | 180 | Virginia | ||
Trevor Denton | INF | Mechanicsville, VAHanover Braves coach Rusty Stadler told us "Trevor currently plays on our Richmond Braves National Team (2014). I believe he projects as an elite D-1 player as both a pitcher and position player. Trevor will be recruited as a weekend starter. He currently sits at 86-88 with his fastball and has added a plus curveball to his mix. He is one of the most competitive kids I have coached and I love his bulldog demeanor on the mound. Trevor really matured this past Spring while playing and contributing to his Hanover High School team." | 6'1" | 180 | list | ||
Kyle Farkas | P | Richmond, VADouglas Freeman Tommy Mayers Richmond Braves National Director told us "Kyle Is probably the most competitive player I have seen. Mentally focused. Will win games for you. Kyle is one the best centerfielders in Virginia for his age group- reads the ball off the bat better than anyone. He will win games for you." | 6'1" | 175 | list | ||
Jack Gerstenmaier | INF | Richmond, VADouglas Freeman Jeff Petty, Director of the Canes program, told us the following about Jack Gerstenmaier: "He has one of the most consistent bats in the state, and he can do one thing that you cant teach, and that is RUN. He has ran the 60 as low as 6.7 before. Good defender, but with his athleticism he is going to have lots of options in where he can end up positionally. Outstanding kid, and is another one who just loves to play, and loves to play hard." | 6'2" | 185 | list | ||
Ryan Hall | INF | Mosley, VACosby We asked Cosby coach Tim Lowry to tell us about Hall and he responded "Hard working young man with some pop in his bat. He can hit to all fields. We look forward to working with Ryan in the future. He will be following the footsteps of many great players who have come through Cosby in their short existence." | 5'10" | 165 | list | ||
Evan Hanifee | INF | Bridgewater, VATurner Ashby Evan plays for his father Sean Hanifee at Turner Ashby. The younger Hanifee had an outstanding freshman seasaon, and was named First team all-district and led TA in hitting with a .364 average while batting third in the order. He led the team in runs scored (19), RBI with 15, 3 triples and 5 doubles. He committed only 2 errors on the season splitting time between second base and shortstop. | 5'11" | 175 | list | ||
Marc Jimenez | 3B | Manassas, VAOsbourn Park One coach told us of Jimenez "Very athletic, tall, lean but strong, sub-7.0 runner, big time power. In my opinion one of the top arms in his class in Virginia. Hard to believe he's just a sophomore." | 6'3" | 200 | list | ||
Cullen Large | INF | Midlothian, VAJames River One coach told us "Highly competitive. Gamer. Extremely smart. Cullen sees the ball extraordinarily well and is very athletic, making big plays. He will win games for you. Performs well under pressure. Unselfish, hardworking." | 6'1" | 170 | list | ||
Nate Matheson | P | Hampton, VAKecoughtan | 6'2" | 185 | list | ||
Kyle McPherson | INF | Chesapeake, VAWestern Branch Kyle is a 2014 SS/2B who has the potential to be a highly recruited Division One player. He has above average speed and arm strength as a shortstop. Kyle has the ability to hit the ball with power to all fields. Kyle has the potential to be in the class of elite infielders that have come out of the Tidewater area. | 6'0" | 175 | list | ||
Jason Morgan | P | Fredericksburg, VAChancellor Chancellor coach J.P. Gibbons told us "Jason has done nothing but impress our coaching staff with his attention to detail, competitiveness, and physical conditioning. On the mound, he's a bulldog. He works consistently and analyzes each batter he faces. His mental attitude and concentration are superb. He has tremendous composure and is a relentless competitor. He excels in the classroom and he's only a sophomore! We are really fortunate to have him and we are looking forward to having him as the staple of our rotation for the next three years." | 6'4" | 170 | list | ||
Jack Owens | INF | Burke, VALake Braddock Lake Braddock coach Jody Rutherford on Owens "Jack is a dynamic player because of the multiple tools he brings to the ballfield. He is a very good shortstop with a plus arm. Offensively he was inserted into our lineup the third game of the year as a freshman. He promptly delivered a two hit two RBI performance and remained in the lineup for the remainder of the season. On top of this he is an excellent baserunner with above average speed and a threat to take a base any time." | 5'9" | 150 | list | ||
Ian Pezzella | INF | Virginia Beach, VAKempsville Kempsville coach John Cinnamon said "Ian is a very self motivated young man. He understands that hard work is the only way that he can get to where he wants to go. Ian is one of those types of players that has traits that can not be taught but they have naturally. He proved as a freshman last year that he can play at a high level, batting over .400 and striking out only twice all year. He is mature beyond his years both in school and on the field. In the classroom he makes it easy to sell his skills to college's because of his great academic record and his off the field behavior. Ian has the potential to play at a very high level of college baseball in the future but he still has 3 years of high school baseball left and a lot growth still in front of him. And knowing what he can achieve is what pushes him even harder." | 5'11" | 175 | list | ||
Hunter Taylor | C | Onley, VANandua | 5'11" | 190 | list | ||
Hunter Williams | P | Midlothian, VACosby Canes Coach Jeff Petty told us "Hunter Williams has already put himself in an elite class not only in the state of Virginia, but in the country in his class, but Hunter has a chance to be "real" special. I see a kid that really loves to play baseball, and is hungry to get better, but the key is he really wants to play. If we told him to meet us in the Wal-Mart parking lot for a game of stick ball he would be the first one there, and the last one to leave. With his ability is his eagerness to play the game, and get better I have thrown out comparisons to a former Canes player Jake Cave. He has a ways to go, but when Jake was his age there were a lot of similarities." | 6'3" | 195 | N. Carolina |

Derrick Rose scored 21 points and the Chicago Bulls extended their longest winning streak in six years to eight games with an 84-73 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Thursday night.
Luol Deng added 19 points for the Bulls (49-18), who took a half-game lead over idle Boston in the race for the best record in the Eastern Conference. Rookie Omer Asik added 11 points and a career-high 16 rebounds.
The Nets rallied in the fourth quarter but Kyle Korver had seven of his 12 in the final period, helping the Bulls hold on.
Brook Lopez scored 22 points for New Jersey, which had won five straight for its longest winning streak in the last three years. Kris Humphries added 13 points and 16 rebounds, and Deron Williams had 11 assists, but Rose controlled him on defense, limiting him to five points on 1-of-12 shooting.
The Nets rallied from a 14-point deficit in the third and tied it three times in the final 5:50, the last occasion on two free throws by Lopez with 4:06 to go.
Deng then came off a screen and hit a jumper to put the Bulls ahead for good. After the teams exchanged empty possessions, Rose stole a cross-court pass by Williams and scored on a drive to push the lead to 73-69 with 3:18 remaining.
Anthony Morrow and Sasha Vujacic missed jumpers for New Jersey and Chicago took advantage. Korver hit a free throw after the Nets were called for an illegal defense and Joakim Noah, who was returning to the lineup after missing a game with flulike symptoms, went over Humphries for a rebound and scored for a 76-69 lead.
After Vujacic scored on a goaltending call against Rose, Korver, who turned 30 on Thursday, hit a 3-pointer and Kurt Thomas converted a layup to put the game away.
Limited to 50 points in the first three quarters and only down by 10, the Nets made a run in the opening four minutes of the fourth, closing to 62-59 on a 3-pointer by Vujacic.
The Bulls called timeout and quickly got Rose back in the lineup. The Nets kept it up but couldn't overcome Chicago, which won the rebounding battle 50-46 and held New Jersey to 35 percent shooting.

Stitching, scrounging and sanding her way through home design, Rachel Seis shares fresh ideas for second-hand style in Milwaukee.
It's no secret (to our family, our friends and, of course, our neighbors) that my husband and I are a couple of Christmas nuts (Chestnuts, perhaps? Roasting on an open fire, you might say?). From Christmas decorating, to baking cookies to holiday-music dance parties, we love anything that has to do with this festive season. But I think the thing we love most is Christmas light displays.
I love a big, bright, bold, gaudy Christmas-light display. One that's heavy on color and twinkle with a splash of kitsch. My husband also enjoys an over-the-top display and so, every year, he adds more and more to our own outdoor decorations, illuminating the block in the glow of Christmas cheer.
This year, we had an idea to install a special merry message in our yard, inspired our favorite board game. I've seen Scrabble tiles used in place settings, wedding photos and more, so why can't they be incorporated into Christmas decor? After buying the supplies and doing a little handiwork, we were so happy with the outcome of our MERRY X-MAS yard-sized Scrabble tiles!
Here's the (simple, but slightly tedious) way we made them:
We bought 24"x24" sanded plywood at Menards to make each tile, and made sure to pick up some wooden stakes while we were at it.
Then I got to work with my trusty yard stick and pencil and drew out each letter on each piece of plywood, paying special attention to the respective point amount of each letter (let me tell you, the "S" and "R" were not easy!).
After painting all the letters with black exterior paint, we attached the wooden stakes to each piece of plywood with some heavy-duty construction adhesive, and let everything dry overnight.
After the icy-cold and windy weather in late November, we realized these tiles may need a little extra binding effort before we installed them in the yard, so we added screws to the stakes to make sure Scrabble tiles would stay sturdy during a snowstorm. We also made sure to coat each tile with spray-on sealant to protect the wood from the elements.
After the prep work, we grabbed a rubber mallet and drove the tiles into the ground! We added a couple of red and green flood lights for additional flair, and that was it!
I absolutely love the addition of these Scrabble tiles. They're unique, and fill our yard with a happy message of Christmas cheer. As is most often the case with Christmas decorations, the things you make yourself make the biggest impact of all.

WARSAW, POLAND Fresh from a warm embrace from iconic Polish leader Lech Walesa, Mitt Romney will wrap up a three-country trip overseas Tuesday with a major speech that he hopes will send a message that he's tough and more willing to take a harder line with rogue nations than President Barack Obama is.
Romney arrived in Warsaw late Monday after a day in Gdansk, where he enjoyed the most enthusiastic reception of his six-day trip, which was marred by controversies at the first two stops, in London and Jerusalem. He was greeted in Gdansk by crowds that swarmed in the streets, though some were apparently there for an arts festival and one group held a 10-foot-long banner supporting Romney's primary rival for the GOP presidential nomination, Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.
Poland and many other countries will certainly do their best to help the U.S. restore its leadership position," said Walesa, a former president of Poland who last year refused to meet with the visiting Obama.
"After our conversation I am quite confident that you will be quite successful in doing that," Walesa assured Romney. "Individuals who have struggled all our lives really favor the kinds of views and perspectives that you share."
He repeatedly said he wished Romney success.
"I wish you to be successful because this success is needed to the United States, of course, but to Europe and the rest of the world, too. Gov. Romney, get your success - be successful," Walesa said emphatically.
(Excerpt) Read more at bradenton.com ...
Poland has been fighting off Russian aggressiveness again in the last few years which has been supported by Obama (missile defense).
I think it's great that Romney is again encouraging our allies in these dark days and I think it's wonderful that he paid them a visit.
The Polish are good people. They know an honest broker when they see one.
I too think that it's great that Romney has gone to Poland.
However, it'll be "not so great" if he comes back.
Those PaulBots get around!
If Walesa was a freeper, he would be banned for supporting Romney.
Communists for Obama. Anti-Communists for Romney.
The liberal moral relativist that hated Reagan and wanted the balance of power BS are reaching for the Preparation H, is that you Dan????
This is a stand against an "Ism" that Lech knows all too well, and this is also a stand for American Exceptionalism.
It was that Exceptionalism that helped bring down the Wall, not Egyptian, Greek or any other Exceptionalism....
By the way Barack, did you help Build that Wall? I mean seriously, were you and your commie parents their in the early 60's and were you or them slinging mud?
Personally, I would think it not so great if Obama stood against only fairly unknown 3rd party candidates with only 12 weeks to go till election day.
But, then, pragmatism doesn't rule with lots of folks.
I remember when Obama went overseas before 2008. What a contrast.
Yes but Polish-American Newspapers and the Rabbinical news services/websites (yes they exist) will discuss it, maybe even some Jewish Newspapers, they have no "lock" anymore....
Not possible. The rest of the world all adore Hussein.
Obama feels the same way. Maybe you guys ought to get a room and commiserate.
Better, tell us why we should vote for 'Tom Hoefling'.
I have a lot of reasons for not liking Romney. But since locking up the nomination he is handling himself well.
Up against the O, he looks like a giant. Of course, up against that annoying little pipsqueak, almost anyone looks like a giant.
Still, Lech Walesa's endorsement is something to be proud of. Just getting to shake his hand would be an honor in my book.
Better, tell us why we should vote for 'Tom Hoefling'.
Voting "3rd Party" makes perfect sense to the Tantrumites like Tau Food.
Completely off topic, but: Mrs. Romney would do us proud as First Lady.
Tau Food doesn't think Tom will win either. He/she keeps telling us Obama is going to win. Tau Food is delusional.
Amen, Mr. Adams - amen. These turd party clowns think for a second they are more conservative than Lech? That was rhetorical, but surely they do. Because there's not a more self-important group of posers this side of the donkeys. Disgusting.
A few people here on FR have been bashing Romney for going to Poland.
Some people here on FR would bash Romney if he walked on water, across the Atlantic, to Europe.
Lizzie Warren is Polish......when it's to her advantage.
How High magazine has international subscriptions now.
On the other hand, if you already have a favorite candidate and you like him, you vote for him and you be proud of the fact you're voting for him.
In the New Mexico "Art" Community, "Tau Food" is code word for that which is "consumed" during oral sex between two males.
How can you 'proudly vote for him' when so far, he hasn't been able to answer if he has qualified to be on a single ballot.
That is the most basic of hurdles to show you have the competency to run even the smallest campaign, like school board.
Gee, I've never heard that before. I'll bet you and your boyfriend are the only two people in the world who know that. ;-)
I'd have more respect for you if you simply admitted you think Obama would be a better alternative to Romney, as some of the more honest anti-Romney FReepers do.
I've never claimed to have the competency to "run even the smallest campaign." I'm just a voter.
Listen, go to his website and read about Tom's campaign. If, like me, you tend to agree with him more than you agree with his opponents, then don't be afraid to support him. I think that's what we're supposed to do as voters. I admit that four years ago, I got talked into voting for McCain as my "only alternative" to Obama. Romney is the reward I got for loyalty. Thanks, but no thanks, Karl Rove. I'm not voting for any more liberals, period.
You've never watched them vote for communists here in Cook County, then.
Tau Food is a troll who, if not zotted as he should be, will never be heard from again after November.
That would make a great graphic - Obama, mommy and daddy all building the Berlin Wall.
I have read his words and debated with him many times here.
The problem is, they are just words. I and many others have asked him to post his resume to show his history of actually turning words to action and he has refused. When asked for his resume, he points people to his website which is just statements of belief, not an iota of experience listed.
He won't even say what college degrees he has or what private sector experience he has.
If we demand this from Obama and complain when he hides it, we should hold those who claim to be on our side to the same standard.
Without experience, words are just sound waves in the ether, nothing more, nothing less.
..and I'm not talking about your competency, I am talking about the competency of the one who is asking to be Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces.
And I'm saying that a vote for a candidate like Tom who has virtually no chance of being elected POTUS in 2012 is not something for which you should be proud. It's an exercise in futility and a proxy vote for Obama.
The only time that the elitists in the GOP listen to regular people is on election day. If we don't let them know on election day what we will and will not accept, then we deserve anything we get next time around. We need to reject Romney and we need to be seen to reject Romney if we want any kind of respect.
What do you think Obama will accomplish given four more years?
Wonderful picture,I was invited to met him two times.The first time I was not willing to fly to Poland.
You're absolutely right. I can't disagree with that and I'm not unmindful of that.
But, I am sickened, I mean truly sickened, by the "experience" and background of both Obama and Romney (not just one of them, both of them), so what's a guy to do?
Act like a man would be a good start.
Isn't that the truth. Their pride come first than country. 4 more yrs of Obama will distroy the USA
I think that Obama will face gridlock with a Republican Congress, particularly in the House of Representatives. I think that a President Romney would have a much better chance of passing a liberal agenda than Obama. I think that's so obvious as to be uncontroversial.
1. First, we can all acknowledge that on most issues Romney sucks. BUT..
2. Unless some miracle happens (and we can reevaluate if said miracle happens), the reality is there are only two people who will be president, Romney or Obama... so we must...
3. Go to the Constitution and look up the job description for President to see who fits that job the best.. We see that the primary role of the President is Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces. The other duties are to make treaties and appoint judges, etc.
4. Now we look at all the qualms we have with both Candidates. With Obama, it is everything, from domestic to international. With Romney, it is primarily his domestic policies- all of which must require Congress and the Senate victories to have any impact.
5. Which gets us back to 1 critical issue, the role of Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces. I'm sure you would agree, that out of the primary job role the Constitution gives the president, this is the most immediate and important. The president is the second step on recovery on those issues, but as CIC he is the entire staircase.
6. So, knowing that Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces is the primary role of the President, who would you rather see our troops have to salute and take orders from on January 22nd and for four years after that?
It is really that simple. If Tom wants to impact the issues he says are most important, he should run for congress where he can actually write bills on those issues- something the President doesn't do.
Flawed theory on two points.
1. Obama has already shown he will act without Congress through the use of Czars and Executive Orders. Even so far as taking military action without Congressional approval. (and Congress can't be trusted to have the fortitude to take action against O).
2. Romney will have a reelection to run so there will be some pandering he will have to do to whomever is the loudest and most passionate group. This puts the responsibility in our corner (probably why some don't want to face this this choice). Obama will have no re-election to run so there is no one to pander to but his own ideology. Obama will have no reelection check on his power.
Option 2 gives us a fighting chance IF we take the responsibility and become the "e" ourselves. The so called "e" has no power if they don't get money and votes from us. We have already shown we can influence legislation if we stand up to these so called "e" forces. Case in point, the Kennedy/McCain immigration bill that We The People stopped just by speaking out.
We need to stop complaining about the "e" and start taking control of the "e". I found this graphic a long time ago that sums it up nicely.
Tau, I've had that same conversation with myself for months. I've tried every way in the book to figure out a way to vote for Romney and still live with myself. I don't know what to do. If I have to vote for Romney I will have to get on my knees and ask forgiveness from the Lord. On the other hand if obama wins America is finished, and I could not live with my conscience. It is the worst dilemma I've ever faced. How does one choose between two evils? I don't know and I'm still praying about it.
Oh yeah; you know that. You know you do.
Now, there's an idea.
If (;-)) Tom loses this election, maybe he should do that, but I won't be able to vote for him because he won't be running in my state or district.
And, I don't want to just ignore or evade the important points you make about the role of Commander in Chief. Believe me, I have thought about that issue because it is important, as in vital, that we have a competent Commander in Chief.
We've had Commanders in Chief who were better than Obama (Reagan) and we've had Commanders in Chief who were worse than Obama (Carter). Obama's nothing to write home about.
I don't know how to score Romney. I like his loyalty to Israel (an important ally), but I almost hear him saying at times that we should defer to Israel's judgement. I don't want to turn over our foreign policy to the Knesset or the Israeli Prime Minister any more than I want to turn over our foreign policy to the United Nations. We should decide what we want to do and I want our president to make that clear at all times.
I really don't know what kind of Commander in Chief Romney would make. Is his current trip about foreign policy or about domestic politics? Did he go to England at the beginning of the Olympics to discuss important issues with British leaders or to remind voters here at home that he once ran the Olympics? Did he go to Israel to to discuss foreign policy or to gain Jewish votes here at home? Is he perhaps in Poland to gain the favor of American Catholic voters? Maybe I'm just too cynical, but Romney has over and over and over again caused me to become cynical about just about every move he makes.
I guess I just never know what to believe about Romney anymore. I'm not sure that he has any fixed philosophy other than a desire to be elected and a willingness to be very liberal and very flexible.
I really just can't trust Romney anymore and I can't tell you that I believe he'd make a competent Commander in Chief.
Do you think Romney is a marxist bent on income redistribution & moslem sympathizer, too?
Agreed. That, and the Israel trip.

There's embarrassment of riches, and then there's the Guyer quarterback situation.
The Wildcats were set to finally start David Haynes as a senior after he waited behind Jerrod Heard for the past two seasons. Haynes is a guy that's grown up in the middle school system and has been raved about since he was a freshman by the Guyer coaching staff.
Of course, last year, he showed to be so athletic he became one of the Wildcats' leading receivers and has interest from several Football Bowl Subdivision schools at both positions.
Then, of course, there's Kevin Dillman, the Swedish move-in from California who committed to Nebraska last weekend. Behind those two, there's a move-in from Prosper named David Moore and Austin Luna, who unfortunately broke his wrist in a weightlifting accident on Monday. Now, they're adding another quarterback to the mix, and it's a biggie.
Saginaw Chisholm Trail is losing the star of its program, and Guyer is the beneficiary as Shawn Robinson, a 6-3 dual-threat superstar who started at Chisholm Trail as a freshman last season and led the young program to a 3-7 season, will enroll at Guyer on Tuesday, according to Guyer head coach John Walsh.
Robinson is the son of new Guyer girls basketball coach Andrea Robinson, who was hired away from Cedar Hill last month. His father, and Andrea Robinson's husband, Othell Robinson was Chisholm Trail's offensive coordinator. He will be hired next week at Guyer as the tight ends coach. According to stats on the Star-Telegram's website, Robinson threw for 1,123 yards and 11 touchdowns while tossing seven interceptions. He also rushed for 624 yards and six scores — again, as a freshman and on a less than stellar team.
Andrea Robinson won two state titles at Fort Worth Dunbar and went to state another time, then took Cedar Hill to the state tournament in Class 5A.
Robinson was just a freshman this past season but made an impact and is now one of the top college prospects in the still-to-be-determined Class of 2017. Spring football is set to begin at Guyer on April 28, and Haynes is going into the spring as the starter.

The Brink Mega Interview, Episode 4: AchievementsWritten Friday, October 02, 2009 By Dan Webb View author's profile |
It's been a long journey. We've made some friends. Made a few enemies, but at the end of the day we've all come out the other side as much better people. Of course you've probably guessed that this signals the end of the Brink mega interview. Well, you probably guessed that by the headline, which renders my opening segue completely and utterly useless. Oh well, it did its job. Today's episode looks at our forte, achievements. Can I get an amen? No? Oh.
We literally talk everything achievements and it's not just confined to Brink. We talk multiplayer achievements, whether enough publishers/developers take them seriously and whether that attitude will change, and much more. The interview ironically ends as we talk about how awesome Infinity Ward are on the same day they've seemingly done it again. Huzzah. It's also fantastic to see developers sharing the same passion as us - apparently, they are gamers as well *shock horror* What's even better is that they use our site to feed their addiction *wink wink* *nudge nudge*
Without further ado ladies and gentlemen, Richard Ham and episode 4 of the Brink mega interview.

IN THE WAKE OF BOSWELL AND JOHNSONJoin Professor Peter Martin, biographerof both Boswell and Johnson as hebrings their legendary tour through theWestern Isles in 1773 to life. Experiencesome of the islands these two epicadventurers visited almost 240 yearsago visiting Skye, Barra, Coll, Ulva, Ionaand Mull. The seven-night trip is fromTuesday 24 April to Tuesday 1 May andcosts from £3,360 per person,inclusiveof alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks,two gala dinners, excursions andgratuities. For more information or to book call 01756 704704 or visitwww.hebridean.co.ukTRAVEL/TOURS'He said he would go to theHebrides with me, when Ireturned from my travels", the23-year-old Boswell wrote of Johnson in1763. Such was the genesis of one ofthe most famous journeys in literaryhistory. When they finally took the highroad to the islands in 1773, it was toembark on a rugged trek of three months,much of it walking and on horseback, ina remote part of the world, which wasthen something of a wilderness. After they had crossed over to Skye ina skiff from Glenelg, they arrived on thedoorstep of Armadale, the home of SirAlexander MacDonald, the chieftain ofClan Donald. It was the largest clan inScotland, but they found miserly andboorish hospitality. Today, the house islong gone, replaced by the presentcastle and the award-winning Museumof the Isles. The six galleries provide anintroduction to the triumph, bloodshedand trauma that make 1,500 years ofHighlands and Islands history throughthe story of the powerful clan Donaldwho were Lord of the Isles until 1493.Boswell and Johnson rowed in anopen boat to spend several days on thenearby island of Raasay as the guests ofthe MacLeod clan. The travellers madetheir way on horses through difficultlandscape and foul weather to thenorthwest part of the island. Theirdestination was Dunvegan Castle onSkye, the seat of MacLeod of MacLeod,the chief of the Clan MacLeod. Therethey found themselves in the conviviallap of tasteful luxury, a relief from therain and howling wind that had lashedthem from Raasay. The castle is poisedpicturesquely on a rock overlookingLoch Dunvegan and has been thestronghold of the clan chiefs for nearly800 years. Rising sheer from the almostperpendicular edges of the rock, itsmassive grey towers and hoarybattlements are embraced below byenticing wooded gardens originallydesigned in the 18th century, with poolsfed by a cascading waterfall. It wasopened to the public in 1933 and makesa fascinating visit: Dunvegan is wellendowed with family portraits, antiquefurniture, books, trophies, weapons,medals, and sundry relics such as a lockof Bonnie Prince Charlie's hair. A portraitof Dr Johnson even hangs over thefireplace in the drawing room. They had to stay longer than theywished, however, because of theworsening weather. After eight days theyfinally moved on to other MacLeodhomes at Ullinish and Talisker. LikeRaasay and Dunvegan, Talisker was amodel of Highland hospitality. "You findthat all the islanders even in theserecesses of life are not barbarians",Johnson wrote. However, the hospitalitydid not include the single malt whiskyfrom the distillery at Talisker founded in1830, the only distillery on Skye. Johnson's grumpiness about theweather was well founded because afterembarking on a 12-ton vessel bound forthe island of Iona, a violent storm forcedthe seamen to make for the island ofColl, about 12 miles by three with apopulation today of about 200, aboutone-tenth of what it was in 1773. For500 years, it was the home of a branchof the Clan MacLean. It is an exhilaratingdestination for anyone wishing to spenda few hours walking in a totally unspoiled,windswept paradise but trapped thereagain for 10 days, Johnson moaned: "I want to be on the mainland and go onwith my existence." Boswell, however,was keen to persevere.So off they sailed for Tobermory, Mull,in a sloop carrying kelp. From there theycontinued on little Mull horses for arugged ride "over rocks naked andvalleys untracked" to a desolate spot onthe west coast. They planned to reachIona by sailing south along the coast,but first were compelled to ferrythemselves, exhausted, to the smallisland of Ulva for the night. Ulva is hometoday to 600 residents who make theirliving largely from kelp, and BeatrixPotter was a regular visitor. Worth a visitis Sheila's Cottage Museum, a restoredthatched two-room croft house thatserves as Ulva's museum and heritagecentre. Formerly the home of dairy maidSheila MacFadyen, it features arecreation of the living area, including abox bed and dresser, and shows Sheilasitting by a hearth which she used tofeed by pushing a whole tree branchslowly into the fire as it was consumed.The other end of the branch served asan airer for drying her washing.After another night of hospitality onthe even smaller island of Inch Kennethcourtesy of the Clan MacLean, theyonce again attempted to reach Iona, inwww.nadfas.org.ukNADFAS REVIEW / AUTUMN 2011 59We are not endorsing any product in this section.

Iona Abbey was founded in AD 563by the monk St Columba and was thesite of an important Benedictinemonastery during the early Middle Ages- it became the base for the conversionto Christianity of much of Britain. Itsimportance declined owing to Vikingraids and the establishment of othermonasteries, but rose to prominenceagain in the ninth century. TheReformation finally ended its influentialhistory. One Augustine nunnery can beseen today among 13th-century ruins.There are also many intact buildings,including numerous chapels and theInfirmary Museum. The Abbey graveyardcontains the graves of many earlyScottish Kings, as well as kings fromIreland, Norway, and France.

A recent Brain MRI says there is no Chiari malformation. The diffusion sequence is negative for infarct. I am a 72 yr old female Ventricular size is wthin normal limits for age. Supratentorial brain demonstrates a minimal degree of age appropriate periventricular hyperintense signal on the long TR images consistent with mild periventricular leukoareosis. There is a focal white matter lesion in the right frontal periventricular white matter, that demonstrates no evidence of enhancement and is most suggestive of chronic infarct. No evidence of hemorhage, mass, shit, herniation. Impression: Minimal age-appropriate small vessel ischemic change with focal signal abnormality most suggestive of chronic lacunar infarct right frontal periventricular white matter. What does this mean? Am I at risk for a stroke? Have I had a silent one?

Hello all I'm new here and would like to ask for your advice.
I'm writing a Perl application that embeds a Java program. (I'm using Inline::Java for those interested in Perl). The interaction works so that the Perl process communicates with JVM via a socket, I have access to public methods of classes of my choice and can define my own classes. I can also set up parameters for java and javac.
So, I'm running this class' main method and it happens to write to STDOUT. But I want the output to go into STDERR. Setting up redirection in Perl doesn't help as Java runs in a separate process and keeps its own track of filehandles.
So my question is: Can I redirect the output from STDOUT to STDERR for a Java program using either parameters to JVM or running my own Java code? I can't modify the Java class that gives the output.

South Africa have ended Day One of the second Test at 214 for the loss of five wickets against Australia at Port Elizabeth.
Australia came back well in the last session of the day to pick up two crucial wickets, and peg back the hosts' progress after the early jolts in the morning session. Proteas vice captain, AB de Villiers is still batting in the middle, alongside JP Duminy.
Earlier in the day, we got the first piece of drama right at the toss when the South African captain, Graeme Smith goofed up the team sheets right before the toss and was unsure of his playing XI. Ultimately, he announced that South Africa rung in three changes in the form of Dean Elgar, debutant Quinton de Kock and Wayne Parnell.
South Africa's innings was rocked early on by Ryan Harris and Mitchell Johnson as the pace duo got rid off Smith and Hashim Amla in the fifth and sixth overs respectively. But after the double blow early on, Dean Elgar, who was making a comeback into Test cricket teamed up with Faf du Plessis in a revival mission.
Both the batsmen recovered the South African innings as they took the score beyond the 100-run mark, and also their partnership. Both the batsmen looked settled and composed, before du Plessis lost his concentration a bit in the post-lunch session just after reaching his fifty.
He inside-edged a slight turner from Nathan Lyon, and Steven Smith obliged by holding on to the catch at short-leg. Elgar was then joined by his vice captain, de Villiers. de Villiers and Elgar again strung another 50-run partnership as Elgar was inching close towards what could have been a fantastic hundred.
But when on 83, Elgar lost his concentration, and he too lost his wicket to Nathan Lyon, but I don't think Lyon would take much credit for that wicket. The South African opener played an absolutely nothing shot, and a resulting top edge was gladly accepted by Ryan Harris at short third man.
de Villiers then carried on, bringing up his half century, but his partner de Kock (who was on debut) couldn't carry on. He was growing impatient by the minute as square cuts and drives went straight to the fielders. And then finally, he lost his cool and skied a nothing shot to mid-off. That was his end.
de Villiers was then joined by Duminy who is still batting in the middle.
South Africa will have their task cut out for Day Two morning as they cannot afford to keep losing cheap wickets, and have to reach a strong total. Australia, on the other hand, will be happy with more of the same.
Brief scores:
South Africa 214 for 5 (Dean Elgar 83, Faf du Plessis 55, AB de Villiers 51*; Nathan Lyon 2 for 47) vs Australia.

Iraq has virtually disappeared from the news cycle - displaced by the Arab Spring/Winter seesaw and the ongoing tragedy in Syria.
But when Ashti Hawrami, oil minister of semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan, delivered a particular explosive bit of news over a week ago at the regional capital Irbil, one could feel the tectonic plates of Pipelineistan rippling all across the Middle East - and beyond.
Hawrami, alongside Turkey's energy minister Taner Yildiz, announced that essentially Iraqi Kurds would build a one-million-barrel-a-day oil pipeline to Ceyhan, in Turkey, to reach the border by August 2013. Then a second phase would connect it to the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, and a second pipeline would open in 2014.
Pipelineistan followers will remember that Ceyhan is the gigantic terminal for the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline - a pet geopolitical project of the Clinton administration in the US. BTC also carries 1 million barrels of oil a day.
Iraqi Kurdistan is an energy paradise. In December 2011, Hawrami estimated it held between 3 and 6 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and 45 billion barrels of oil.
Iraqi Kurds dream of profiting from this bonanza without consulting Baghdad. Now imagine, as a comparison, if Turkish Anatolia decided to build a pipeline with Iran, for its own needs, without bothering to tell Ankara.
And this happened after Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki had characterised Turkey - previous practitioner of a "zero problems with our neighbours" diplomacy - as on the way to becoming a "hostile state", and Turkish flags had been burned in Basra.
Baghdad, of course, may veto the whole adventure. It has already branded the pipeline as "illegal", even though Hawrami said, "Export[ed] crude from the Kurdish region's fields will still be Iraqi oil." The KRG [Kurdish regional government] would take 17 per cent of the cut and the rest would go to Baghdad and the Iraq Central Bank.
It doesn't help that relations between the Maliki government and Iraqi Kurds are close to poisonous. Because of - what else - money, the KRG threatened to "cease exports" to Baghdad. Last year, the KRG and ExxonMobil made a direct deal, bypassing Baghdad.
And then, there's all the geopolitical drama. The Erdogan administration in Ankara also has tremendous problems with Maliki.
Turkey - in its complex neo-Ottomanism lite offensive courting Sunnis all across the Middle East - accuses Shiite Maliki not only of sectarianism inside Iraq, but also of blindly following Iran to prop up Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
Ankara has been a vocal advocate of regime change in Syria. As much as the AKP in power in Ankara has sealed an alliance with Sunnis all across the Middle East, they see Iraqi Kurds as much better allies than a pro-Tehran Maliki.
For his part, Maliki mercilessly blasts Ankara for giving protection to fugitive Iraqi vice-president Tasheq al-Hashemi, accused by Baghdad of running Sunni death squads, according to evidence Turkey insists was obtained by torture.
No problem, as long as we profit from it
This website (subscription only) has been closely following the oil angle of the Kurdistan-Turkey partnership. But it's an incredibly messy story, mired in myriad contradictions.
Turkey's second-biggest trading partner is now Iraq. Most of the trade comes from the KRG - to the delight of Turkish companies. Yet for Ankara the key of the equation is to use the KRG to subdue the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which is essentially based in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Ankara's position towards a possible balkanisation of Iraq is like smoke coming out of a shisha. Officially, Ankara always stresses Iraq's "territorial integrity". Thus, in thesis, it would prefer a pipeline approved by Baghdad.
Ankara very well knows that any possible moves towards an independent Iraqi Kurdistan would give a wealth of ideas to Turkish Kurds. That's its number one priority; "sanitise" cross border Kurdish nationalism. Thus it's not exactly a good policy to antagonise Baghdad as much as Turkish business interests may need - and crave - Iraqi oil.
Now for the facts on the ground. Irbil does not decide Iraq's oil exports; Baghdad does. The Maliki government is actually juggling between the north (Kurdistan) and the south. Production in Basra is going up. This means Kurdistan ceases to be crucial.
In strictly Pipelineistan terms, the fog of incertitude mirrors the Europeans trying to deal with unpredictable gas republic Turkmenistan. Investors in this potential pipeline will note there's absolutely no guarantee that the KRG, by itself, can actually supply 1 million barrels of oil a day.
Iraq still does not have a national hydrocarbons law - foreseen in the constitution, with specific provisions related to concessions. It's on the way - albeit slowly. The KRG will have to be accounted for. Meanwhile, it's our (Baghdad) way or the highway.
And it's all bound to remain extremely murky while there's no referendum - postponed for five years now - on the status of Iraqi Kurdistan. Crucial Kirkuk is still being disputed. And Basra also wants near to full authority over its own energy deals.
Turkey, though, is in a tremendous hurry. It has been painstakingly positioning itself to Europe, in terms of a transit country for energy, as the indispensable crossroads between East and West.
A KRG-Turkey pipeline would do wonders as a PR move expanding Turkey's role in providing oil and gas to Europe - now that the interminable Nabucco pipeline opera seems to be condemned to the dustbin.
And geopolitically, the EU and NATO would be delighted to finally have an alternative to reduce Russia's Gazprom stranglehold on the European energy market.
This is all inbuilt in the Turkish Foreign Ministry's new "Eurasian" policy. It looks like the "zero problems with our neighbours" doctrine is being replaced by "a few problems we can profit from".

What a positive difference just a few months of competent leadership and management can make. Prior to Dec. 1, 2011, the Spencer County Clerk's Office was suffering from years of mismanagement.
I recently reviewed the Kentucky state auditor's report of the Spencer County Clerk's Office that was released in September 2011. It is a scathing indictment of how poorly the office was managed. I would like to cite just a few of the most glaring notations from the audit which begin on page 17 of the report:

With the Alabama game in the rearview mirror, sophomore receiver Jarvis Landry has had a chance to reflect on his performance in the Tigers' loss to the Crimson Tide and on the first nine games of the season.
The 6-1 195-pound former Lutcher (LA) High School standout understands that the issues with the team's lack of offense leading up to the Alabama matchup were fixable. Landry, who is second on the team with 292 yards receiving and two touchdowns, feels as thought the Tigers have corrected those issues and are ready to move on.
"We had some dropped balls earlier in the season, myself included," said Landry. "There were just some little things that we had to correct, so it was really nothing overwhelming and we took care of it. When we got an opportunity last week we took advantage of it."
Landry had high praise for the game plan that was installed for the Alabama game. He said the Tigers knew exactly what the Crimson Tide would be looking to do, and how they should attack it.
"I think we just knew what they were going to do by trying to stack the box," explained Landry. "We knew we had to spread them out and quick-game them and just be as efficient as possible. That gives Zach [Mettenberer] a rhythm and allows him to spread the ball around so guys can make big plays."
Perhaps the most memorable play of last weekend for Landry was the 14-yard touchdown pass he caught from Mettenberger early in the fourth quarter. While it was a great play, Landry, who led the team with eight receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown, felt as though the defender had no chance of stopping the touchdown from being scored.
"I'll say that the way Zach threw the ball was nice," said Landry. "I feel like I had the defender beat over the top but it was a perfectly placed ball on the back shoulder. There was nothing the defender would have been able to do even if we threw it over the top there. He didn't have a chance to knock my arms down or anything. That play was something that we worked on all week in practice and we hadn't been able to execute it until this weekend. I place the blame for that solely on myself."
The manner in which the Tigers lost on Saturday night usually brings about a lot of second-guessing, but not for Landry. While he explained that it was the toughest loss he has had to handle in his playing career, he also realizes that if he doesn't move on that it could negatively affect the rest of the season.
"I guess you could say that it was the toughest loss of my career," said Landry. "But it makes no sense to dwell on it now. The 24-hour rule is in effect and we have to get over a loss or it will affect us the next week. It's all about staying optimistic because we have a lot at stake still. We can't let a loss affect how we take care of business in the following weeks."
After pouring so much emotion not only into the game on Saturday, but also into all of the preparation that led up to the clash between the Tigers and Crimson Tide, one would expect potential for an emotional letdown this week against Mississippi State.
Landry doesn't feel that this will be a problem because the Tigers understand that they still have a lot to play for.
"Emotionally, I don't think we will have a problem regaining that fire that we had last week," explained Landry. "We try to be optimistic about it and look at the bright side of things. We still have a chance to get a BCS bid, and maybe we won't but we just have to continue to control the things that we can control and that starts with winning out. We just have to show the voters what we are made of. We also have to believe in the system that we are in, regardless of if we win or lose."
Landry believes that if the Tigers execute on offense against Mississippi State like they did against Alabama, then the rest will take care of itself.

It's no secret that I have a weakness for a man in uniform. Military weddings make my heart pitter with the best of the patters every time. And when said military wedding takes place at the most amazing Hawaiian venue, Haiku Mill, and is filled with a floral design to make Flora herself green with envy, thanks to Bella Grace Flowers Wedding & Event Design, well let's just say it's over on this side of the computer screen. Tamiz Photography captured the beauty of the day in such a way that I will be here, admiring away all day in the gallery.

From Stephanie at Haiku Mill … Denise and I designed their wedding over the phone and approximately 4000 miles since she and Stuart were living in Japan throughout the entire planning process. We often spoke on two different days due to our locations on the globe. What could have turned out to be an obstacle was anything but- it was a joy to work with such a calm and collected bride. Denise had some basic ideas about the overall look she wanted, and with a little professional guidance from me, we pulled together a beautiful and ever-so-romantic event.

Ever wonder what happened to those college stars that couldn't catch on in the NBA? The guys that put up the great numbers or the guys that left early, and were never heard from again?

We're guessing the results will surprise you. To request a player, leave a comment in the comments section.
Khalid El-Amin, UConn
Khalid El-Amin arrived at UConn in 1997 after having one of the most lauded high school careers in Minnesota history - he won four state titles, three player of the year awards, and was named a McDonald's all-american. Despite being built more like a fullback then a point guard (5'9", 200 lb), El-Amin exploded on the scene as a freshman, averaging 16 ppg on his way to setting the UConn freshman scoring record and being named Big East rookie of the year.
Through his high school and college career, El-Amin gathered a reputation as a leader and a winner. At UConn, he was always the guy that defenses (and fans, most road games resulted in "doughboy" chants) keyed on. He still remains the face of the 1999 championship team that also had NBA players Jake Voskhul and Rip Hamilton.
El-Amin's crowning moment as a Husky came after he led UConn to an upset victory over the heavily favored Duke Blue Devils in the 1999, when he went to the announcers and yelled "We shocked the world!!". El-Amin scored the final four points of that game to give the Huskies the title. UConn lost a lot of talent from that championship team, and although El-Amin probably had his best statistical year as a junior (16.0 ppg, 5.2 apg, 1.7 spg), UConn was knocked out in the 2nd round (partially due to his severely sprained ankle).
After his junior season, El-Amin turned pro and was taken with the 34th pick by the Chicago Bulls. He started 14 games, averaged 6.3 ppg and 2.9 apg, and was named to the all-rookie team, but he was not resigned by Chicago at the end of the 2000-01 season. After bouncing around between the Miami Heat and two D-League teams, El-Amin started to pursue his career overseas, signing with French team Strasbourg in January of 2002, where he averaged 12.8 ppg and 4.9 apg. El-Amin spent the next season in Israel playing for Maccabi Ironi where he averaged 19.7 ppg and 4.9 apg.
The next two years he spent playing for Besiktas Istanbul in Turkey, where he won back-to-back player of the year awards averaging more than 20 ppg and 5 apg each season. He then moved on to Azovmash Mariupol in the Ukraine, where he averaged 19 ppg, 4 rpg, and 4 apg over the course of two seasons, including in 2006 when Azovmash won the Ukrainian championship and El-Amin was named player of the year and finals MVP. In 2007 he signed with Turk Telekom, another Turkish team, where he won the Turkish basketball league title and played in the ULEB tourament. For the season, he averaged 17.5 ppg, but increased that to 19.7 ppg and 3.6 apg in the ULEB. His most memorable game of the past season came when his Turk Telekom team beat spanish phenom Ricky Rubio's Joventut team 96-94. El-Amin and Rubio went toe-to-toe, with El-Amin putting up 33 points and 5 assists while Rubio scored a career high 29 points with 10 assists.
El-Amin will be heading back to Azovmash for the 2008-09 season, where he will play along side Dijon Thompson from UCLA, Marc Salyers of Samford, and Rodney Buford from Creighton.
