All physical sports activities require some degree of practice, Discipline, Coordination, Precise movement, And strategy. What distinquishes boxing is the act of hitting your opponent with the intent of overpowering and injuring them. (The football tackle could be considered similar. ) It appeals to an animalistic urge to see someone beat into submission with the added appeal of bloodshed. "Barbaric" is an apt description.
Why? . Lets say there is science in it rendering not to be a simple sport, also there are rules and regulations to avoid death of boxers. But the thing is, there are two people hurting each other to their wits end in front of who knows ,the whole world maybe , and what those audience get out of it ?..Entertainment? , Money? , Glory of the country or of that particular person boxing?, can you people be less humane?.. What difference it has from a Gladiator match? None, except a gladiator match is a fight to death..
Boxing a "sport" where the aim is to do as much damage as possible to your opponent ? Simply barbaric it's the kind of thing the Neanderthals did. And it certainly doesn't teach discipline it teaches arrogance. And hate. I have met many many boxers and the majority think they can fight anyone and are very aggressive to the few who aren't like that I salute you but I honestly prefer karate which teaches you real discipline. It teaches you to only use it in self defense it develops your mind. Boxing is like giving a toddler a gun because in the end someone will get hurt.
Boxing is the only sport where the aim is to hit your opponent hard enough, give them so hard a beating, that their opponent is then rendered unconscious. If a public citizen beats a man to death they will serve a minimum of 25 years, but if a boxer kills his opponent then nothing happens. I think the best thing to do is ban the sport indefinitely
It is violent because two people fight until one of them is beaten up. Boxing is not just dangerous but it is also a crime it represents the worst qualities of humankind.Hey were saying that boxing is sport and it has certain rules and regulations that are followed so that they will be safe during the game but there are still people dead or injured after the fight. Prominent boxers like Muhammad ALI suffered from Parkinson's diseased after retiring from boxing.
Boxing is a truly barbaric sport. It is basically two people punching each other in the head and chest until someone is unable to stand. Many boxers receive long term brain damage as a result of their boxing career. It is truly barbaric that we should root for people to do something that causes brain damage.
The goal of boxing is to incapacitate your opponent. Clearly, this is a barbaric sport. All other sports have symbolic goals, such as getting a ball into a net or across a symbolic line. Players should not physically attack each other. Boxing is inhumane, and it should be banned as a sport.
People hit each other, and the first one damaged enough that he can't fight back loses the "game". How is this entertaining? This is nothing more than watching other human beings suffer for no particular reason. It is comparable to dog fighting. I cannot understand why people find pain entertaining.
Boxing is safer than ever, all who oppose it can suck a chunky one. It is not barbaric, if it were barbaric it would have been abolished decades ago. Boxers have a 1 in 2200 chance of dying in a boxing match. Simply put you won't die in the ring.
Essentially, yes boxing is just a sport where two guys beat each other up with their fists. However, there are more to it than meets the eyes. Boxing requires immense coordination of your entire body, from your toes all the way up to your fists. Punching is not simply the swigning of an arm but it is to deliver your entire body weight onto your fists. Furthermore, throwing a punch and actually landing it are worlds apart. Various strategies are applied in a match in order to test out the opponents. All so that you are able to deliver a precise and powerful attack. If you truly believe that any simple minded heathen are capable of such feat, then i am sorry but your vision is so myopic that i reccommend you getting a pair of glasses.
It not only involves punching someone. Tactics are also important in boxing, how to move around the boxing ring , catch your opponent off guard and strike their weaknesses and there is an opportunity. The sport of boxing keeps you alert and have a quick instinct when required. So therefore boxing is not barbaric.
Nowadays there are rules and regulations that control the sport, but before, years ago there were no rules. In Ireland's case if there was no boxing we wouldn't have any Olympic medals, it also freedom of choice whether or not you want to do boxing. It also keeps a lot of people off the streets and teaches them discipline to be healthy and make a living.

The Brooklyn-based trio These Are Powers deftly combine punk aesthetic with straight-up house beats and experimental digressions, crafting a sound that's as scary as it is massive. The real superstar here is ex-Liars Pat Noecker's oppressive bass, dominating textures like a schoolyard bully. Anna Barie's infectious vocals—cutting and in control, but borderline demented—take a while to comprehend fully, but with time come across with more and more power. The group's recent record, "All Aboard Future" (Dead Oceans), is a nightmarish jaunt through a rotten candyland, and once you get started, there's no looking back. Full of short, meaty noise-dance tracks that throw everything at you—beats, live drums, synths galore—plus Noecker's muscular foundation and Barie's lyrical slicing, this record would do terrible things to an already damaged mind. A wonderfully deranged sound, These Are Powers invent a dance-floor bleakness sure to make a mess of anyone in the audience. The three-piece often improvises with their electronics as well, but I don't even want to think about the madness that spawns from that. (Tom Lynch)

Hey bees!
Ever since getting engaged, almost a year ago, I've been sifting through dresses online… A LOT! Things caught my eye here and there but nothing like Maggie Sottero's Marianne! As soon as Maggie Sottero released her, I was IN LOVE!!! I knew she was my dress! Every single detail about this dress is what I've been dreaming of!
Since I had a week timeframe of when all of my bridal party was home, I decided I wanted to go dress shopping with them (and my mom 🙂 ) while I had the chance!
For my first dress shopping experience we drove over 4 hours, each way, in hope that this bridal salon's sample size of the 'Marianne' dress would fit (plus it was the only bridal salon within a 200 mile radius that had the dress yet!). It didn't fit! (It wouldn't fit over my hips) and they immediately stopped putting me in fit and flare/mermaid gowns regardless of the fact that I kept telling them I wanted a much more fitted dress. In fact, my consultant yelled 'Girl! You got some of those baby making hips right there!' My bridal party was like WTF?!
Needless to say, I tried on ball gowns (not for me), I tried on A- lines (alright, but would want altered to show off my curves more… so whats the point?), I finally asked that they put me in a mermaid (LOVED this fit! Just not the dress I tried on specifically) Here are a few pictures from that day:
Then I went shopping closer to home yesterday and couldn't get Marianne out of my head. Nothing seemed to compare to her! So the consultant tried her best and put me in similar fits (I really liked the shape of the mermaids on me) and then 'pinned' the size 12 Marianne over top of another similar fitting dress so I could try and picture how it will look in my size. Needless to say I fell in love even more and we ordered the dress! I'm praying it looks good on, as it was way too much money to go to waste!
Here's what it looked like pinned to me:
Am I crazy?! Should I have settled for something else that I knew would look alright (that I could actually put on my body)? Or do you think my gamble will pay off in the end?

The Best Sites for Kids and Teens to Learn about Money and How to Manage It
I had the priviledge of working with a financial education program for kids a couple of years ago, and that made me appreciate how important it is for young people to learn about money. The challenge of course is to develop programs and activities which present the subject as fun, relevant and even "cool". In recent years, we've seen the development of some very creative online sites aimed precisely at doing this (many of them sponsored by major financial institutions as part of their community service programs). This article points to some of the better sites for kids and teens that I have come across.
Learning about Money
Sites for younger kids
h.i.p Pocket Change (US Mint) A fun site created by the US Mint to help kids learn all about coins.
CIBC SmartStart Program This Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce site aimed at introducing kids to the CIBC SmartStart Program has a rather more commercial/marketing focus than I'd like. But it does provide a good introduction to banks and their products.
Learning through play!
- Escape from Knab
A scenario-based game, which places the player on the planet Knab, and challenges him/her to save enough money to get back home to Earth.
- Fedville
Billed as "A friendly town built just for kids where there is something to learn around every corner!"
Sites for kids and teens
Sense and Dollars Fun, colourful site that's geared towards tweens and teens, created by Maryland Public Television.
Financial Education Curriculum A series of interactive lessons for kids and teens, organised by grade level.
The Mint Well-designed site covering topics such as earning, saving, spending, investing, giving, owing, safeguarding, and tracking.
Learning through comics!
- Federal Reserve System Publications Catalog
A series of comic books, available free. Can be ordered online.
Sites for older teens
Money Talks Site created by the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE). Check out their well-written guides.
Young Investors Network Aimed at older teens, to guide them through the basics -- from goal-setting, to planning, budgeting, earning and investing.


text: Decide on a number of guests The more guests at the party, the more cookies to exchange—and the more space required. The general rule of thumb is to ask each guest to bring one dozen cookies per attendee, plus another dozen to share at the swap. So if a party has 10 guests, each person should bring 11 dozen cookies. Send out invites early Holiday schedules fill up quickly. By sending out an invitation early you'll have time to adjust the guest list based on responses. Ask guests to RSVP with the kind of cookie they're bringing to avoid duplicates. Remember the recipes Along with their cookies, ask each guest to bring copies of their recipe to share. Inexpensive 4x6 photo albums work well for organize recipe cards, plus they make great parting gifts. Wrap it up Provide guests with containers for packaging their cookies. Here are a few of our favorite ideas: Take lessons from takeout, think pizza boxes and Chinese cartons. Raid the dollar store for tins and trays on the cheap. Make cake stands by gluing together mismatched candlesticks and saucers. Make it special Turn your gathering into a party with music and food. Think light, festive and fun!

Kaspersky Sells Mac AntiVirus Fear Using Charlie Miller… Mac AntiVirus Foe
March 20th, 2009
Daniel Eran Dilger
Why is Ryan Naraine, a "security evangelist" for Kaspersky Lab, writing news for ZDNet? And why is he only serving up half the juice that flows from Charlie Miller, the famous Mac cracker of CanSecWest? I think it has to do with the fact that Kaspersky has a Mac version of its security software in development, and it needs to generate some panic in order to sell it. Here's the smoking gun showing why.
The Rising Tide of Terror.
You may recall that in January I called out a fear mongering article by Dan Goodin published by the Register. That article associated the idea of "Mac anti-virus" products with the discovery of potentially dangerous tools posing as pirated software, which users would need to manually install with administrative privileges in order to suffer any damages from, an article written apparently just to continue the meme that Mac users were facing a "rising tide" of malicious software.
Apparently, "rising tides" of Mac malware crest after five years of panicked warnings with the arrival of four obscure risks, including two software installers purporting to be stolen versions of iWork and Photoshop, and, get this, two fake antivirus tools. How ironic is it that half of the malware in reported existence for the Mac is fake anti-virus software? And who is that targeting… Windows switchers who don't know why they're switching?
The Mac Malware Myth
Mac security researcher wins Pwn2Own contest with Safari hack
In Russia, Anti-Virus Infects You.
Now assume for a moment that you're in Moscow and your company makes antivirus software. You happen to notice that the majority of Windows PC users steal software rather than paying for it. You also notice that Microsoft is having a difficult time getting its user base to upgrade to Windows Vista, threatening your upgrade cycle.
At the same time, you also notice that Macs have grown from 2% of the entire global population of PCs sold to something closer to 10%. Also, those users are more likely to pay for software.
Might you possibly want to tap that market, even if you only sell software that is pointless for Mac users, not because they can't possibly be infected by malware threats, but because anti-virus software offers little real protection for threats that don't already exist, and no real viral threats exist for the Mac?
Lets stop being hypothetical here.
That company is actually Kaspersky Lab, and it is well aware of the slipping share of Windows. Two years ago, co-founder Eugene Kaspersky was cited by PC Pro saying that Vista's lukewarm reception will drive more customers towards alternative platforms, making them a more attractive target for malware writers.
"Home users are not so loyal to the OS. Not many of them are satisfied with Microsoft Vista," Kaspersky told PC Pro. "Some Windows users will switch to other OSes. Microsoft will not lose its dominance, but it will be reduced a bit.'"
Kaspersky also issued the dire warning that "there will be a significant rise in virus attacks on both the Mac and open-source platforms."
A year later, the company told IDG/InfoWorld/Macworld that while it offers no Mac products now, "one could 'be ready in just days,'" according to company spokesman Timur Tsoriev. The IDG report added:
"Kaspersky's anti-virus technology is flexible enough to work on different operating systems, said CEO Eugene Kaspersky. The company's analysts have also cracked open an iPhone, which runs a slimmed-down version of OS X, to see how it runs."
"As Apple's share of the PC market has grown, security analysts as well as vendors have forecasted that Apple's seeming immunity won't last forever. So far, they've been pretty much wrong, as there have been no attacks on the scale that affects Windows machines, such as the Storm Worm."
"As of now, hackers 'don't pay any attention to the Mac at all,' Kaspersky said. But it may come as no surprise that Kaspersky, whose business is based on selling security products, maintains he is skeptical of the security of most operating systems, including OS X.
"'We see that Mac OS is taking a bigger and bigger share of the market,' Kaspersky said. 'We made the prototype to be ready just in case.'"
The IDG report pointed out that Kaspersky isn't the only company to be hungrily watching the Mac market from the sidelines.
"Finnish vendor F-Secure scuttled its Mac products around 1998, said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer. But he didn't rule out the company taking another look at the platform. 'Most of the hard-core geeks in our lab use Macs,' he said."
Also, "Czech-based vendor AVG is also keeping an eye on how the Mac market shapes up. Miloslav Korenko, marketing director for AVG, said it's hard to say what level of Mac usage would prompt them to develop a product, 'we are considering one as well.'"
PC Pro: News: Mac and Linux viruses to rise 'significantly'
Vendors mull security software for OS X | Security | Macworld
Speaking Hypothetically, Again
Now say a year has passed and Vista's adoption is still terrible and the PC industry is actually shrinking for the first time ever. What would it take to get you, were you Mr, Kaspersky, to leverage the known outcome of the CanSecWest Pwn2Own contest, where one researcher was known to be arriving with an exploit that would take down Safari on the Mac?
Would you send a company employee to post at report of the event with a tech news site that will print anything? Would you also have them submit an interview with Miller that suggests Macs are woefully insecure, just to drum up business?
That's exactly what you would do, even if you had to step around the reality that Microsoft's latest Windows 7 and IE 8 were also compromised that same day, and even if your report also made it clear that there was no existing market for selling Mac vulnerabilities.
Miller actually complained about having to sit on an unreported bug for a year just to get $5,000 for it from the CanSecWest contest because there was no other way to get paid for Mac vulnerabilities. In contrast, a researcher with an exploitable Windows vulnerability, Miller noted, "could easily get $50,000 for that vulnerability. I'd say $50,000 is a low-end price point."
Questions for Pwn2Own hacker Charlie Miller | Zero Day | ZDNet.com
The Sin of Omission
But there's also something you wouldn't do if you worked for Kaspersky: you wouldn't point out that Miller, a Mac security expert, thinks your products are unnecessary for most users to buy and install. This winter, Miller took Apple itself to task for recommending in a support document that Mac users consider installing antivirus software.
Gregg Keizer wrote for Computerworld that Miller "pooh-poohed Apple's recommendation using the same logic as many longtime [Mac] users," quoting Miller as saying, "Windows has 90% of the market, but [attackers] give it 100% of their time."
The article continued, "Criticizing security software for its cost — both in dollars and in the processor cycles it consumes — Miller admitted that he doesn't bother running any on his Macs. 'I don't think it protects me as well as it says,' he argued. 'If I was worried about attacks, I would use it, but I'm not worried.'"
Apple's antivirus advice 'big to-do about nothing,' says researcher
So there you have it: Miller knows where flaws are in Apple's software, but he also knows that antivirus is unnecessary for the majority of users, just as I stated in January. He knows that because nobody will buy his discovered exploits. When Miller stops showing up to CanSecWest with ready exploits in hand, you can start worrying that he found a buyer. Until then, you can root for Miller to win the contest, because it means Mac users have little to worry about in the real world.

I finally get to play as Luigi! This is what most people were saying as they first took to the controls of Luigi's Mansion (actually just Luigi Mansion in Japan) back during the game's debut at E3. Then, they played the game, learned all about Luigi and his frightened exploits in a spook-filled mansion, and all was (apparently) good.
I purposely avoided playing the game (and pretty much all GameCube games) in order to maximize my fun quotient on the system's launch day. So what's the impression of a Luigi new-comer having first played Luigi's Mansion?
If you've read our preview or previous hands-on impressions of the game, you'll know that Luigi's Mansion is all about ghost busting. As the story (and that may be too strong a word) begins, Luigi is wandering around a forest, searching for "your mansion" (that's what it says on the map he's holding). Apparently, this has something to do with his finding his big brother, the Mario who went on to become spokesman of the great Nintendo (while Luigi disappeared from the scene, appearing in only a few games containing the entire cast of the Mario family). Luigi enters a mansion, encounters some ghosts, hooks up with a wacky professor (who speaks Nintendo), equips himself with a ghost busting vacuum pack, and suddenly he's ghost busting Luigi -- the Ghost Buster who would've made it into the cast of the original movie had Dan Akroyd not been looking for a job.
That's where the "fun" begins. You lead Luigi through a series of rooms, sucking up ghosts and solving a few simple puzzles until a chest appears. This chest awards you with a key which opens up a door to a new room containing more ghosts and puzzles that require zapping and solving.
Even if you've played through previous Nintendo games, you won't necessarily recognize all of these ghosts. While some are of the disappear-when-you-look-at-them variety, others actually keep coming at Luigi when he looks at them. It takes a bright flash of light from Luigi's flashlight to make these guys disappear.
Of course, a ghost that disappears is bound to return in due course. Luigi has to build up all his courage and strike against the ghost with his newfound suction ability. The main gameplay system in the game sees Luigi get startled by a ghost's appearance (he freezes on screen momentarily). You then must make Luigi startle the ghosts for a brief moment using Luigi's flashlight, and before the ghosts can disappear, you must suck them up. If Luigi's vacuum is a trap, his flashlight is a proton cannon (although that analogy only works to a point).
Some ghosts are more powerful than others, requiring that Luigi work just a bit longer on them with his ghost busting equipment. And boy do I mean work. Sucking up a ghost makes poor Luigi jump all over the place in an electric frenzy as the ghost attempts to flee the scene. All ghosts have a hit-point meter, and only when this is drained all the way to zero will the ghost disappear ever more.
Nintendo's control scheme for the game should enter the bible of ghost busting. You move Luigi around with the left analogue pad, rotate his flashlight or suction nozzle using the right pad, and switch on your ghost sucker-upper using the right analogue trigger. The idea of using both analogue pads may seem a bit strange, but it becomes second nature after a few plays. And of course, it's plainly obvious that Nintendo has spent considerable time perfecting the feel of the ghost busting and movement in general. You have to pull the analog stick in the opposite direction of the ghost to suck him in more quckly.
Luigi's mannerisms throughout the game compliment the style of play (or is it the other way around). Luigi always seems to be surprised whenever a ghost appears. He's a scaredy-cat who always calls out his big brother's name (using a variety of different voice samples). You will constantly hear "Mario... Mario? Maaa-ri-oooo!" in different tones of voice as you play. Just watching him run around when vacuuming up a ghost is enough to drive any viewer wild with laughter -- a good thing, considering that you'll see a whole lot of this.
And that's where the game's apparent problem pops into the picture. This ghost-busting thing gets boring real quick. Due in part to the fun dynamic Nintendo has implanted into actually busting ghosts, and the hilarious mannerisms of Luigi himself, I was having lots of fun zapping ghosts -- for the first few rooms. And then it became evident that the "kill ghosts, collect a key, go to another room, kill ghosts, collect a key, go to another room" dynamic would continue on and on. Now more than an hour into the game, I've grown weary and don't want to play anymore. If Nintendo was hoping to keep player interest long enough for something different to happen, they've failed and I think I'm usually patient with a game.
The only thing that keeps me going is the look of Luigi's Mansion. This is undeniable next generation stuff, from the lighting to the morphing shapes and accurate shadows. It looks better than Wave Race, Super Monkey Ball and any PS2 or Dreamcast game released to date. With Luigi you've got PS2-quality effects and Dreamcast-quality rendering. The result is that this game is probably the most visually impressive home console game ever -- for now.
But IGNcube is hoping for more than just a clever show of the GameCube's capabilities. Hopefully, there's more to the game than just the limited gameplay that's presented early on, as we'd like Luigi's first solo outing to be one for the ages, not a quickie launch title to be lost in the sunshine of next Summer.

Role of arteries
The heart is a muscle which pumps blood around the body. Coronary arteries supply the muscles and tissues with oxygen and nutrients. these are necessary to create energy through aerobic respiration
2 of 12
Explain the action of the heart pt1 (reoxygenation)
Blood returning from body enters right atrium via vena cava, this blood is deoxygenated. from there, it goes through the right ventricle, to the pulmonary vein to the lungs to be reoxygenated.

Explain the action of the heart pt2 (movement of blood)
The blood returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein and passes through the left ventricle to the aorta, where it is pumped around the body
4 of 12
How one-way flood of blood is maintained
When the atria contract,atrioventricular(AV)valves open,Blood flows from the atria into the ventricles.When the ventricles contract,AV valves close and semilunar valves open.This forces blood out of the ventricles and into the arteries.

Control of heart beat pt1
The contraction of the heart tissue is myogenic, meaning it arises from within the muscle itself.In the walls of the atrium, there is the sinoatrial node (SAN), which acts as a pacemaker, as it initiates cardiac muscle contractions

Jerald Allen Potter was born July 25th 1925 in Edmond, Oklahoma to Allen Potter and Violet Hargis Potter. Jerry lived most of his early years in Lindsay, Oklahoma where he lived with his maternal grandparents, his mother and his Aunt Kitty and Uncle Reubin. He spent a short time in Maysville, Oklahoma.
When he was in Junior High School, Jerry moved to Oklahoma City where he was enrolled at Harding Junior High School. He lived in the same neighborhood with Gordon Post who introduced him to the game of golf, one of his lifelong loves.
Jerry attended Classen High School where he lettered in football and baseball.
On May 12, 1943, Jerry joined the Marine Corp. He was a seventeen year old junior therefore; his mother had to sign a permission document allowing him to enlist. He served three years in the South Pacific. As a gunner on TBF Avenger, he survived the Battle of Peleliu known as the bloodiest battle in Marine Corp history.
At the age of twenty-one, Jerry returned to Classen High School to graduate with the Class of 1946. He did not return early enough to play his senior year of football but he did play in the first All-State Baseball Game.
He attended Cameron and Centenary College, then graduated from Oklahoma City University where he played on OCU's last football team.
Jerry Potter started his coaching career at Verden, Oklahoma where he coached basketball and baseball. Even though basketball was not his primary sport, his Verden boys team went to the finals of the regional tournament. From Verden, he served as assistant basketball and football coach at Chickasha High School and later in the same capacity at Central High School in Oklahoma City, where he also coached the golf team.
Jerry married Ezell Glynn Nelson on June 6, 1953, in Chickasha, Oklahoma. They were blessed with two sons, Kent and Kevin.
When Oklahoma City Harding became a high school, Jerry was named head football coach. At Harding his teams went to the State finals twice. In 1965, Jerry was named football coach at Putnam City High School where he won three state championships (1974, 1975 and 1977). Jerry attributed his coaching success to the fine young players that the parents sent him, the outstanding assistant coaches surrounding him and the supportative administrators at Harding and Putnam City.
In 1957, Jerry was named Oklahoma City "Coach of the Year." 1969-1970, he served as president of the Oklahoma Coaches Association. In 1974 he was named District Five "Coach of the Year" by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association. That organization also admitted him to their National Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Coaches Hall of Fame in 1977.
Jerry began his second career, homebuilding after retiring as Athletic Director at Putnam City. He loved his retirement, golf and cards at Oak Tree, and having lunch with his buddies.
Jerry Potter was a lifelong Methodist and a longtime member of Church of the Servant United Methodist Church founded by Norman Neaves, one of Harding's outstanding halfbacks.
Jerry is survived by his wife Ezell, son Kent Potter, son Kevin Potter and his wife Dorea; three grandsons, Dr. Heath Potter and his wife Chapel, Kaleb Potter and wife Taylor, and Brent Potter. He is survived by two great granddaughters; Madelyn Kate Potter and Claire Violet Potter. He is also survived by a host of cousins and friends.
The family wishes to express their appreciation to the many wonderful staff members at Autumn Leaves and thoughtful caregivers from Faith Hospice.

Leaving Sitia Port in Crete we finally confronted the test of the boats that would include a minimum of 20 hours straight in the open sea. But the departure from Crete was picture perfect; conditions to the next port on the island of Megisti were magical, mostly glassy seas and picturesque Greek Islands along the way. Megisti had a port that was nothing short of intoxicating, made famous in the1991 Oscar-winning movie Mediterraneo.
While only in Megisti for less then 24 hours I was able to run our Zodiac after seeing that the island had some impressive sea caves. Myself, Peter and Courtney set out on an impromptu trip around the island. The scenery was quintessential Greece, absolutely spellbinding. Peter was so enthusiastic he jumped into the turquoise blue water and forgot the mobile phone in his pocket. Didn't matter, it was worth it. It was sad to leave this place, I would love to return.

Minimizing Third-Party Tag Risks through Tag Management
Adding third-party vendor tags to your site allows for some very nice benefits, from improving the customer experience to increasing online revenue, but there are also inherent risks. Risk is included anytime you add another third-party tag to your web site. Even though the benefits of these digital marketing tags outweigh the risks, from an operational perspective you need to be aware of these risks.
The top risks of third-party tags come in the form of site stability and page load performance. In the next three sections you can read how the architecture behind tag management systems can dramatically lower these risks. The focus will be on tag management methodology; how the tags are served; and how data is sent to the third-party vendors. You will see comparisons of different tag management solutions and an explanation of the benefits or risks associated with each.
Risk #1: Site Stability
One of the biggest pain points that tag management can improve is site stability. When you add a third-party tag or tracking pixel to your site, you're leasing away a portion of your site's stability. Many vendor tags have been known to slow down your site or even break it. Tags are infamous for blocking your pages from loading or making your pages go blank. Every tag on your site is another potential point of failure. Additional tags increase the potential for site stability issues.
A tag management system can reduce those risks with asynchronous loading or conditional loading of external vendor tags. Another option is to completely outsource your vendor tags to a third party. All of these choices are good for improving site stability, but be cautious about relying on an external vendor's architecture as their shortcomings will be intrinsically linked to your site.
Tag management systems offer two common methodologies: client-side and server-side. The server-side systems collect data from your web pages through a third-party tag. The data is transmitted to the third-party's server, processed, then sent to all of marketing vendors' servers. This method lowers site stability risk, but it doesn't cover all third-party tags.
The client-side systems can reduce site stability risks even more due to total coverage of all third-party tags. There are two different types of client-side systems, one that uses a "dynamic" delivery method and the other that uses a "static" delivery method.
Dynamic delivery sounds cool, but it's a greater risk for site stability than static delivery. Dynamic means there are multiple layers of servers (web, app, database) responding to your requests. Each layer has its own service-level agreement (SLA), so you're only as strong as the weakest link. You're actually only as strong as all of the links put together, meaning the probability of site failures go up by adding the possibility of failure in each layer. For example, if each layer has a 99 percent SLA and there are three layers, the overall SLA can only be 97 percent. Each layer has a 1 percent chance of failure, so add up each layer and the overall system as a 3 percent chance of failure at any given moment.
Static delivery utilizes multiple layers of caching and geographically distributed servers for greater stability, scalability and performance. Static delivery uses content delivery networks (CDNs) with thousands of servers in nodes around the world. Even if multiple servers go down, you still have an extensive array of alternate servers and nodes available elsewhere. With this redundant architecture, you will never have an issue with the tag management system blocking your pages from loading.
Static delivery is also the best way to address scale on the Internet, especially for serving HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (third-party tags). With static delivery you only need to use the CDN, so you don't have the increased risk with multiple layers of servers. This type of delivery is exactly how companies like Netflix can stream videos to millions of subscribers.
Risk #2: Page Load Time Performance
Each third-party tag adds at least 50 milliseconds to your page load time on the first visit to your site. The average tag takes well over 50 milliseconds to load. If you have 10 tags on one page, that can add seconds to your page load time. "Time is money" rings true when frustrated visitors leave slow-loading sites. A single slow-loading tag can add seconds to a page load or even completely stop the page from loading.
Server-side tag management systems can reduce the number of tags on your site, which will improve page load performance, but this type of system cannot manage all third-party tags. You will still need to rely on managing the remaining tags by yourself or through a client-side tag management system using dynamic delivery or static delivery.
Dynamic delivery systems are very similar to server-side systems because they have multiple layers that can cause slowness. The dynamic delivery system relies on a server to balance requests from all clients, another server to execute logic specific to a client, possibly another database server where configuration information is stored, and then it can finally respond to the original request. This layered process is repeated for every page viewed by the visitor. Each layer introduces latency, adding around 50 milliseconds of page load time per layer.
In a system that contains three layers, you can imagine a tag management system that takes at least 150 milliseconds to respond, if everything is perfect, compared with a static file that is delivered in almost no time at all. Static delivery systems simply eliminate the latency and risk created by multiple layers, so the tags are delivered that much faster. Plus, the files are cached in your visitor's browser further reducing page load times on each subsequent page view. It just doesn't get any faster than that.
The Best Tag Management System for Your Business
Each choice for tag management systems improve site stability and page load time performance to varying degrees. Server-side systems are like a car without enough gas. Their benefits only go so far, because they only cover a portion of the tags. Client-side systems with dynamic delivery are the next step in improvement, but they still contain the added risk and slowness of multiple layers. Finally, client-side systems with static delivery outperform the others by removing the risk and slowness associated to the additional layers while taking advantage of browser caching for the fastest delivery system known to man.
Tealium iQ is a client-side system with static delivery, making it the fastest tag management system that reduces the most amount of risk associated with third-party tags.

A French court rejected a request from Serbia to extradite Kosovo's former prime minister Ramush Haradinaj over accusations of war crimes committed in the 1990s, sparking outrage in Belgrade.
Haradinaj, 48, was arrested by French police on January 4 when he flew into the Franco-Swiss airport of Basel-Mulhouse, but was freed to return home following Thursday's decision by the court in Colmar, eastern France.
The ruling was welcomed by authorities in Kosovo but slammed in Belgrade by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, who said Serbia's ambassador to France would be recalled for consultations.
Haradinaj, an ex-commander in the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), has already been tried and acquitted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia over allegations of war crimes committed in 1998 during the Kosovo conflict.
But Belgrade issued an international arrest warrant over separate charges of violence against Serbian civilians in Kosovo in June 1999.
The French court ruled that extradition to Serbia would lead to "consequences of exceptional gravity" for the accused.
- 'Rambo' -
The 1998-1999 conflict pitted the pro-independence KLA rebels against the forces of late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic.
A predominantly ethnic Albanian province, Kosovo unilaterally declared independence a decade after the war, a move since recognised by more than 100 countries but not by Belgrade or its ally Russia.
Haradinaj -- known as "Rambo" for his stocky build and military prowess -- is considered a hero by many at home for his role in the fight for sovereignty.
He received a hero's welcome later Thursday upon his return to Kosovo's capital Pristina, where he was greeted by thousands of people waving Kosovo and Albanian flags as folk music bands played.
Thousands of ethnic Albanians had protested in Pristina and other cities against his arrest, while hundreds of his supporters greeted him with cheers outside the French court earlier on Thursday.
"I have not been alone all this time," Haradinaj told the crowd in downtown Pristina. He said of the ruling that "this decision gives me the opportunity to continue with my political obligations".
A lawmaker who briefly served as premier from 2004 and now leads an opposition party, Haradinaj told AFP in an interview this month that he was the victim of "political persecution".
The court, however, rejected the claim that the Serbian request was political in character.
At a hearing in Colmar in February, prosecutor Patrick Steinmetz described abuses in 1999 in which Haradinaj is accused of participating.
"There were people whose children were beaten before their eyes, so much so that they remained paralysed," he said.
- Tensions stoked -
Haradinaj's detention heightened tensions between Belgrade and Pristina, which began European Union-brokered talks back in 2011 to "normalise" their relations.
Prime Minister Vucic said Thursday's ruling was "a great victory for criminals".
The Serbian government "considers that the decision of the court is shameful, scandalous, contrary to the law and deeply unjust -- and that it is above all political," he told reporters in Belgrade.
Serbia's foreign ministry said it had handed in an official note to French ambassador in Belgrade, protesting the decision.
Meanwhile in Kosovo, President Hashim Thaci welcomed the French court's decision as "good news".
In a Facebook post, he described it as proof that the "slanders" of Serbia's intelligence services against the KLA were "not valid and not taken into consideration by the democratic world".
The public prosecutor in Colmar has five days to lodge an appeal.
Before Thursday's decision, Haradinaj had been released on bail but told he could not leave France while he awaited the ruling.
He said he was missing an opportunity to fulfil his role as an opposition leader, saying "everybody is campaigning in Kosovo except me".
No date has been scheduled for elections but there is wide speculation that a snap vote will be held in Kosovo in coming months.

What Does LOVE Mean To You?
LOVE ... such a short word that has a never-ending meaning. People dedicate so much time to finding their second-half that they sometimes do not see all the love surrounding them. In their quest for finding LOVE they simply forget to love themselves, which is the most important matter. How can someone give you love when you can not experience it yourself.
Although I am pretty lucky to have met my soulmate in the early university days, I still appreciate all the love surrounding me from Family and Friends and I try to dedicate a part of my love to them, too. So, during this Valentine season share the love with the people that matter and simply enjoy your day without stressing out too much about having a date or what dress you are going to wear.

An increasingly competitive global marketplace calls for high-efficiency manufacturing operations. The market evolution has forced manufacturers to organize production in focused
units—streamlined, adaptive, with a high degree of integration—moving from mass to lean production. Manufacturers require a flexible and easy-to-use information technology to support
their integration needs.
Furthermore, intense customer and government requirements demand total traceability of manufacturing operations—a difficult task given the multiplicity of devices, data sources, and
applications needing to be integrated.
Plant-wide application integration presents a formidable technical challenge, complicated by the ever-changing requirements that fast market response places on the production environment. However, HP
has a proven, effective solution: the BASEstar Product Suite.
Proven technology
BASEstar has a large world-wide installed base of hundreds of customers running on thousands of systems. It is deployed by both discrete and process manufacturers. Over 25 years of customer
experience has been built into the product set.
The BASEstar Product Suite is the foundation for a complete manufacturing integration solution including
BASEstar software integrates manufacturing applications and plant equipment in a distributed, plant-wide, networked environment. Its architecture and versatile application programming tools promote
consistent application development..
High availability
BASEstar is designed for 24 x 7 availability, with no single point of failure. Its Application Management Services allow plant-wide applications to be started, synchronized, stopped, and restarted on
the same or a different node when an application or system fails.
Multi-platform support
BASEstar is available on HP Integrity servers for both the OpenVMS I64 and HP-UX operating systems. It is also available on AlphaServer systems for the OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems, and
on Microsoft Windows platforms. The BASEstar application programming Interface (API) and interfaces such as OLE for process control (OPC) are identical on all platforms, so different hardware and
operating systems running BASEstar can easily be combined into a single logical system. Critical applications can be placed on OpenVMS or HP UNIX systems, while remaining applications are distributed
across less expensive Windows systems. All data collected by BASEstar, regardless of its source, is available to all BASEstar systems.
Worldwide, multi-industry deployment
BASEstar is used by multinational companies in discrete and process manufacturing industries such as automotive, steel and metals, chemical, electronics, and consumer packaged goods. BASEstar is
deployed throughout Europe, North and South America, Asia, India, and South Africa.
BASEstar provides a set of core services that enable applications to be developed quickly and without complexity. All data is memory resident for fast access.
BASEstar services include
The diagram below shows BASEstar integrating manufacturing applications and plant equipment in a distributed, plant-wide, networked environment.
Data Management Services
BASEstar Data Management Services provide a standard mechanism for defining, organizing, and accessing data in a distributed manufacturing environment. A variety of data sources are supported,
including plant devices as well as area, plant, and work cell applications.
BASEstar defines discrete elements, called Data Points, to contain manufacturing information. Data Point definitions can be of various types, ranging from scalar data elements to user-defined data
structures, supporting the many different types of data typically present in industrial plants.
Data Points are referenced by name, so applications are independent of their data sources. Consequently, they do not require alteration when data sources change. In addition, simple Data Points can
have initial values specified at startup time. The value of a Data Point can also be derived from the value of another Data Point, either directly, or modified by an arithmetic or logical expression.
Applications can define and manage Data Points using Data Management Services.
Each Data Point can be associated with one or more Triggers. A Trigger defines a relationship between a Data Point, a Filter, and an Event. Each time the value of a triggered Data Point changes,
associated Filter expressions are evaluated. Whenever the Boolean result of an evaluated Filter expression is TRUE, BASEstar declares the associated Event.
Likewise, the Timer object allows you to apply a time-based conditions to the execution of an action. You can define the time condition as an absolute date, a time interval, or a combination of the
two. When the Timer expires, BASEstar sends a message to associated objects. Timers can be associated with Trigger objects.
A Data Point value can have one or more versions. In addition to the value, each Data Point version includes the time when the Data Point value changed, and its status at that time. BASEstar
generates a new version of each Data Point every time its value changes. Applications can acces the current version or the value associated with any cached version at any time.
Event Management Services
BASEstar Event Management Services allows applications to subscribe to one or more Events. Events are occurrences that are of interest to an application program, such as exceeding a threshold,
triggering an alarm, or completing a job.
When an Event is declared, Event Management Services create and deliver notifications to subscribers. Event definitions contain specifications of the context information to be passed, including data
values and data types.
Packet Management Services
BASEstar Packet Management Services allow the exchange of Packets of information directly between users. Users establish direct communication through Ports; one user connects to a Port to send a
Packet, and the other user connects to the same Port to receive it. Packets include descriptions of the information they contain. Each Packet input and output parameter is described by a data
BASEstar delivers Packets to Ports in a protocol-independent manner, and also independent of the locations of the users and Ports.
Application Management Services
BASEstar Application Management Services provide functions for managing and coordinating manufacturing applications, which may be standalone or distributed across the Nodes of a network.
Application Management Services allow users to organize application Activities into hierarchical structures that support startup and shutdown of synchronized application Activities, based on
user-defined policies. Application Activities can be executed, suspended, resumed, and terminated.
BASEstar monitors the status of all Activities and network Nodes. If an Activity or a Node fails, any of several recovery policies can be invoked. For instance, in case of a Node failure,
applications running on that Node can be restarted automatically on alternate Nodes.
Device Management Services
BASEstar software enables applications to interact with plant devices without knowledge of physical device characteristics such as location, protocol, or device-specific data formats. Physical
devices are modeled in compliance with the MMS standard (Manufacturing Message Specification ISO 9506). Devices are accessed through specific device access software (DAS), which provides operations
such as reading and writing simple and structured data via specific device protocols.

I've had a google for how to do this, but not had any luck.
Is my best be going to be a shell script which replaces symlinks with copies, or is there another way of telling git to follow symlinks?
PS: I know it's not very secure, but I only want to do it in a few specific cases.

A garden can provide far more than just decorative appeal. Gardening can be an activity for a lot people. It is not limited to simply green-thumbed enthusiasts. It plays a significant part in a gardener's life by bringing calmness, accomplishment and a connection to nature. The effects are huge, especially if you're skilled at it.
If you are going to be doing some gardening, watch out for stink bugs, especially in the fall! They thrive on fruits, citrus, peppers and various beans. If they go unnoticed, they can cause large amounts of harm to your garden, so remember to take protective measures to reduce the population of stink bugs there.
Put down sod correctly. Get your soil ready before you lay the sod. Weeds should be removed, and you should break up the soil into a tilth. Lightly, but firmly compress the soil, making certain it is flat. Be sure the soil is thoroughly moist. Lay the sod down in alternated rows, keeping the joints set off from one another. You want the sod to end up as a flat and even surface. If there are any gaps in between the sod pieces, then you can fill these in with some soil. Once it is in place, the sod requires frequent watering for at least two weeks. This is usually the amount of time it takes for the sod to grow roots, making it ready to grow seamlessly into place.
Be sure to do some weeding on a regular basis. Weeds can take a promising garden and turn it into a shell of its potential. For this task, try using white vinegar. White vinegar will definitely kill the weeds! If you are too busy to pull weeds by hand, make a white vinegar solution and keep it handy for a quick spray when needed.
Think about planting your seeds in indoor pots and then transplanting them to your garden once they become seedlings. By allowing them to sprout first, you are increasing the odds of a seedling reaching maturity. It also lets you have tighter control over the planting periods in your garden. Your seedlings will be ready to be planted when you remove your old mature plants.
Autumn not only means colder weather but new vegetables to plant. Try planting your fall veggies, especially leafy greens, inside of a pumpkin! Scoop the insides out of the pumpkin, and don't forget to spray the inside with Wilt-Pruf. This will prevent your pumpkin from rotting. Now this is completed, it is time to get planting!
Gather the information that you have learned here and create a wonderful garden that springs back to life. You will be glad you did when you see your plants alive and blooming. Gardening can have profound effects within many areas of your life if you take the steps to embrace it. So grab your gardening gear, and get to work.
Try planting berry-bearing evergreens in your yard. They will provide a splash of color in the drab and dreary winter months when a lot of other plants have lost their colors. A few of the most vivid plants in winter are American Holly, Winterberry, Snowberry and Cranberrybush.

Travels From: New York
Fees vary based on event location, Contact WSB
Personal Financial Expert, Today and The Oprah Winfrey Show
Jean Chatzky's common-sense advice offers people control over their lives and their futures by showing them how to get control of their finances.
Can you really start from nothing and become truly secure financially? In this fascinating and interactive keynote, Jean Chatzky asks the questions: What's the difference between you and Warren Buffett? Between you and your boss? Or between you and your successful neighbor? What do the financially comfortable have that you don't? And how do you get it? Based on her most recent book that includes groundbreaking research on the self-made wealthy, Jean reveals the traits and habits of those who have moved from the lowest economic strata to the highest. Then she helps audiences take a look at where they are now and offers simple strategies for helping them get to where they want to go. In this optimistic and empowering presentation, she helps people see that they themselves have the power to determine their own financial future and find freedom in even the most difficult of economic times.
After 20 years covering the world of real people and their real money, Jean Chatzky knows there are some universal (and nagging) questions audiences have about their money. Do I pay for college or retirement? What do I do about my older parents? How do I rebuild a sagging portfolio? Is it possible to raise kids who will be financially independent? And what in heaven's name can I do about that credit score? In this presentation that can be tailored specifically for the needs of your group—and the questions of the day—Jean will answer the questions she knows you have then conduct a Q&A that can include a money makeover or two for a member of your audience.
As a mother of two teens, Jean Chatzky knows what parents want—kids who grow up to earn their own money and live independently (i.e., not on the family couch)! After conducting a dozen focus groups with middle-schoolers around the country for her upcoming Not Your Parents' Money book (September 2010), she also knows what skills kids need in order to get there.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a very common skin bacteria and seems to particularly like living just inside the nose. About 20% of people carry S. aureus in their nose all the time, another 30% carry it from time to time and another 50% of people never carry it.
Currently we can't explain why, but variation in human genes, lifestyle, and the presence of other bacteria in the nose may all have a role to play.
For most people, carriage of S. aureus is harmless. However, a small number of people are susceptible to S. aureus infections due to a weakened immune system and, in some cases, these infections may be serious and resistant to antibiotic treatment. Understanding why only some people are carriers while others aren't will help design new ways to prevent and treat such infections.
We propose to conduct a very large study to understand what determines the carriage of S. aureus in humans. One way to see if a person carries S. aureus is to analyse swabs taken from the nose. We are uncertain of the acceptability of collecting nasal swabs in large groups of volunteers. Therefore before we conduct a study in large numbers of people, we are doing a small preliminary study in about 2,250 blood donors to see if nasal self-swabbing is acceptable.

'Profound shock' at Professor Steven Rawlings' death
The unexplained death of an Oxford University professor has "profoundly saddened" the institution, its vice-chancellor has said.
Prof Andrew Hamilton said the entire university community was shocked at the untimely death of Steven Rawlings.
Prof Rawlings, 50, was found at a bungalow in Southmoor, Oxfordshire, belonging to fellow Oxford academic Devinder Sivia, on Wednesday night.
Dr Sivia was held on suspicion of murder but has since been bailed.
Police said the death may be "a matter for a coroner's inquest rather than a criminal court".
Officers said Dr Sivia had been bailed until April.
The emergency services were called to Laurel Drive, Southmoor, at 23:20 GMT on Wednesday by a member of the public reporting that a man had been injured at the property.
Married Prof Rawlings was declared dead at the scene.
'Open mind'
Thames Valley Police said a post-mortem examination carried out on Prof Rawlings had been unable to establish a cause of death and that further tests would be conducted.
They have said they are keeping an "open mind" about the circumstances of the academic's death.
Det Supt Rob Mason said: "A substantial amount of information is already in the public domain and we can confirm that the two individuals involved have been friends for over 30 years."
He said all potential circumstances that could have led to Prof Rawlings death were being investigated.
"We are mindful that ultimately the death may be a matter for a coroner's inquest rather than a criminal court and I would ask for patience from both the media and the public while we continue our investigation. "
Prof Rawlings was official fellow and tutor in physics at St Peter's College.
The academic, who was elected to his fellowship in 1994, was head of the sub-department of astrophysics at the university from 2006 to 2010.
Former BBC Radio 4 controller Mark Damazer, now master at St Peter's College, said Prof Rawlings was a "much-liked and admired tutor" who was survived by his wife, Linda.
Mr Damazer said: "He was one of the lead scientists in the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project and also played a prominent role in the redevelopment of the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station in Cornwall as a radio astronomy facility."
The SKA project involves constructing the largest and most sensitive radio telescope ever built.
Dr Sivia, based at St John's College, has taught "maths for natural sciences" to chemistry and physics undergraduates for a number of years.
His research interests revolve around the Bayesian probability theory - mathematics for inferring, or reasoning using probability.
Dr Sivia and Prof Rawlings co-authored and published a book together in 1999, which was called Foundations Of Science Mathematics.

Smart strategy or overconfidence? Rubio plays hard-to-get with voters
Does the son of a preacherman hold the Trump card?.
He is attracting supporters — loyal, angry, often new to politics — willing to wait in the cold or the sun or the parking lot of a strip mall to see him. "Why am I so optimistic?" Senator Ted Cruz shouted during his speech here, marveling at the venue his following now required. "Because we're in an airplane hangar instead of a Denny's!" As he vaults toward the top of the Republican presidential field, leading some Iowa polls and climbing nationally, Mr.
Surging presidential candidate Ted Cruz continues to maintain a strong lead over Donald Trump in the critical early-voting state of Iowa, a new poll released Sunday showed. For months, Trump had remained the front-runner in the Hawkeye State, which hosts the nation's first contest on Feb. 1, but the Texas senator has consistently gained on him in polls, and surpassed him altogether earlier this month. The Republican establishment has been praying for the emergence of a candidate who is popular but still accepts its core values – including those that win the presidency.
Republican activists — including many who appreciate Rubio's formidable political gifts and view him as the party's best hope for beating Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton — say they are alarmed at his seeming disdain for the day-to-day grind of retail politics. Even some staunch supporters are anxious. "Rubio has not put in the face time that he really needs to have, I don't think," said Al Phillips, an influential South Carolina pastor who backs Rubio. "I think that's been somewhat to his detriment." That may be, as some of his allies fret privately, a sign of overconfidence in his own abilities. Marco Rubio came in third in the poll with 12% support, while retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who has fallen rapidly in all polls, came in fourth with just 6% support. He hopes that by doing so he will steal away the legions of mostly white, disaffected "angry voters" that Mr Trump's surge has brought to the forefront of the political debate.. Or it may be a smart strategic decision that the personal touch is overrated in an era in which celebrity billionaire Donald Trump is leading the field with a campaign that consists largely of mega-rallies, barrages of tweets and television interviews that are literally phoned in.
Nationally too he has been crept up in the polls, taking up the mantle as primary challenger to the real-estate billionaire when Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, dropped away. Mr Cruz has established a successful populist campaign despite his background as a lawyer and graduate of both Harvard and Princeton, two Ivy League universities. Nevertheless, Cruz suggested over the weekend that, if elected, he would be receptive to naming the Florida senator to a cabinet-level position in his administration. "Marco is a very, very talented leader. Cruz has sharpened his already uncompromising language, eager to retain his own hold on popular anger against the political class, and to demonstrate conservative purity amid attacks from Senator Marco Rubio over immigration and national security policies.
He's a friend of mine, he's charming, he's an incredible communicator," Cruz said at a campaign event in Georgia on Saturday. "There are multiple issues on which he's tried to do these sorts of things. He has coined a new phrase, "undocumented Democrats," to describe those in the country illegally, and beefed up sections of his stump speech focused on immigration.
But connecting in the early states has traditionally been a different kind of endeavor, one in which voters expect to get to know the candidates on a one-on-one level. Rubio had at last described his views on immigration "not only on Spanish-language television but on English-language television," echoing some far-right commentators who have suggested that Mr. In fact changed his vote on the floor of the Senate," Rubio added. "If you're going to attack someone on a policy issue, you need to be clear about where you stand on the issue and where you stood in the past." He has refused to compromise with Democrats or even his own Republican party on legislation that requires bipartisanship to pass – even when its failure would have dangerous consequences.
Cruz pledged to oppose legal status for undocumented immigrants "today, tomorrow, forever." If the Cruz campaign fears that his words will narrow his path in a possible general election, the candidate has betrayed little unease. And Rubio has limited interaction with the news media who cover him. "Is his campaign a little more superficial than that of other people in his bracket in New Hampshire? Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" as a bedtime story to his two young daughters watching in Houston, who were supposedly watching their father on a live television feed. Trump's, as the campaign delivers a taste of the primary season to parts of the country often ignored in the weeks before states like Iowa and New Hampshire go to the polls. "Here they're not going to have a lot of opportunities to engage with a presidential campaign," Jeff Roe, Mr.
A top party official from a critical swing state who spoke on the condition of anonymity on a topic of increasing sensitivity in GOP circles said that other contenders are becoming familiar faces to voters there. "The big question is, where is Marco Rubio? People have tried to get him to attend stuff, and he just hasn't," the state party leader said. "Well, I just spent two hours meeting people and working here, and we're going to continue to do that," Rubio told reporters after a recent town hall in Muscatine.
And those, along with the evangelicals, are commanding a majority of the vote." "Since Ted was a kid, he has spent hours reading and studying the Bible," he said. "We spent many hours talking about the Bible and the role of personal faith". He added: "We love to be campaigning in Iowa." Rubio's aides also argue that he is engaging with voters at a moment when they are beginning to pay close attention to the race. Mr Cruz announced his candidacy for president from Liberty University, America's biggest evangelical institution, which denies evolution and teaches that the earth is only 6,000 years old.
They got on a bus, were taken to the airplane hangar and waited in an unseasonable chill to cheer the senator when he arrived with his family by chartered plane. Rubio's campaign announced Friday, for instance, that he will be spending three days in New Hampshire between now and Christmas, during which he will hold four town halls and a pancake breakfast. When dealing with matters he is passionate about, such as his opposition to the Supreme Court's decision to legalise gay marriage, he invites his audience to "pray". Always impatient to make the next move up the ladder, he comes from a huge and diverse state where financial resources and a media presence are the most important ingredients of political success. In a recent interview with a local US media outlet, he acted out – with voice impersonations – his favorite part of the movie 'The Princess Bride'.
Mr Panton, his college roommate, told The Sunday Telegraph he had learned this skill during their university days where the two of them would "host Princess Bride parties" where friends would come and watch the movie and recite parts of it. In another video, intended to show Mr Cruz's support for guns, the candidate is seen cooking bacon by wrapping a slice around the barrel of a gun, and firing the weapon until the heat of the weapon cooks the it. Cruz in Kennesaw. "Trump's a Northern guy." Mike Homan, 35, of Dallas, Ga., attended the event with a Trump supporter, Howard Adkins, whom he hoped to flip. Rubio has one of the largest followings on Twitter among presidential candidates — more than a million people — and he uses Snapchat regularly. "This is how I would reinvigorate American manufacturing," Rubio tweeted recently, linking to a page on his website featuring pictures and remarks from an Iowa speech.
The other Floridian in the race, former governor Jeb Bush, campaigns in a very different style, making himself more accessible to voters and the media than just about any other candidate. Trump and most other candidates, has installed formidable ground-game operations across several states that vote on March 1, viewing the South as central to building a delegate lead. Cruz will continue his Super Tuesday tour this week in Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma, three more states that the campaign expects to be favorable turf for a conservative. Campaigns are about seeking the support of the voters." At a candidate forum in Des Moines late last month sponsored by the Family Leader, a Christian conservative organization, Rubio spoke but did not stick around afterward, even though his campaign had rented a reception room.
Cruz, on the other hand, was there until nearly midnight. "We heard about it — and heard about it frequently — from Rubio supporters, that they were disappointed" at his abrupt exit, said Family Leader head Bob Vander Plaats, who endorsed Cruz less than three weeks after the forum. Cruz from the stage — and a Santa Claus-based strategy to collect contact information. (The campaign has recruited actors to play Santa at every stop, allowing voters to pose for pictures that they can only access by entering their names, emails and ZIP codes on Mr.
Rubio's campaign events are crisp and well-staged, with presidential-level accouterments, such as Secret Service-style earpieces sported by some aides. The campaign ran a campy parody ad in Iowa during Saturday Night Live, with the Cruz family reading Christmas tales like "How Obamacare Stole Christmas" and "Rudolph the Underemployed Reindeer." The ad placement stemmed from an equal-time request made after Mr. I think his team had a skewed view of Iowa based on their involvement with [now-senator] Joni Ernst last year, and how they helped her win her primary.
Roe, the campaign manager, said before the Daphne rally on Saturday, interrupting his explanation of the strategy every few moments to spit chewing tobacco into a water bottle. But this is a caucus, not a primary, which requires months of relationship-building that he never did." Rubio's relative indifference toward wooing key activists contrasts with his eagerness to land top donors. George Seay, a Dallas-based investment manager and top Rubio donor, first got to know him at an intimate 2009 dinner while he was running for the Senate.
Not long after Rubio arrived in Washington, the pair took a 45-minute stroll from his Senate office building to a local Catholic church, where Rubio was going to attend midday Mass. They talked about family and their lives outside work. "It was the most relaxed, down-to-earth, low-key, get-to-know-you kind of visit I've probably ever had with a senator I didn't know very well," Seay said.
