Alabama Football Recruiting: Tide's Top Priority on National Signing DayJanuary 30, 2013
With National Signing Day rapidly approaching, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are currently perched atop the 247 Sports recruiting class rankings.
In the Crimson Tide's quest to close with the nation's top class for the third consecutive season, there are several big fish remaining on the board that Saban will try to sign by Feb. 6.
Some of the nation's top uncommitted prospects—like defensive tackles Dee Liner and Montravius Adams, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and safety Vonn Bell—are elite talents that the Tide are still hoping to land.
But with limited spots available and some of the nation's top prospects still interested in the Tide, which player should be the most important target for Saban and his staff over the next week?
The truth of the matter is that Alabama's class will be loaded regardless of what happens in the next week. However, if there is one target that would be the biggest coup on signing day, Tunsil fits the bill by filling a need with the nation's premier talent at his position.
On a roster loaded with freakish talent across the board, Alabama's main needs in the 2013 cycle are at quarterback (two commits), running back (three commits), defensive end (one commit) and offensive line (four commits, including JUCO transfer Leon Brown and fellow early enrollee Brandon Hill being projected as tackles).
Alabama's foundation on offense has relied on employing a deep and talented stable of running backs and combining that unit with the most powerful offensive line in the country to pave the way for them.
Fortifying their offensive front—specifically the left tackle position that could open up following next season if Cyrus Kouandjio turns pro—makes securing the pledge of Tunsil the biggest priority.
Alabama has loaded up on safeties—with 5-stars Landon Collins and Eddie Williams anchoring the Tide's 2012 class—which makes adding Bell a luxury more than a necessity.
Additionally, Saban brought in four players in last year's class (Darren Lake, Dakota Ball, Dalvin Tomlinson, and Korren Kirven) that could contribute at defensive tackle—with all but Lake taking a redshirt last season.
With depth prevalent at defensive tackle, the additions of Liner or Adams (or both) are simply a bonus to an already stacked defensive line group. Of the two, the Tide appear to be in great shape for Liner, per B/R's Barrett Sallee.
Offensive linemen are easily the toughest position to evaluate, and it is harder to find difference makers that are capable of becoming dominant players early in their careers.
That is what makes Tunsil—who is widely regarded as the nation's top left tackle (h/t, 247Sports.com)—such a valued commodity. Luckily for Alabama supporters, the Tide have an ace in the hole—with fellow 5-star Sunshine State product and recent running back enrollee Derrick Henry urging his good friend to join him at the Capstone.
As hard fought as last month's 32-28 victory over Georgia in the SEC Championship Game was, the battle for Tunsil's signature will serve as round two between the two powers--with this battle likely to be every bit as much of a nail-biter as their last meeting on the field.
If Saban and the Tide can get the better of the Bulldogs (and the other presumed finalist in Tunsil's top three, Ole Miss), their offensive line will have everything it needs to remain amongst the nation's elite units in the future.

Brown escaped Taliban assassins by a whiskerSeptember 1st, 2008 - 5:36 pm ICT by ANI
London, Sept.1 (ANI): British Prime Minister Gordon Brown narrowly escaped by killed by the Taliban during a short visit to Afghanistan last week, the News of the World can reveal.
Taliban fanatics were in position . . . and ready to shoot down his helicopter as he flew over Kabul.
But the assassination bid was foiled with just minutes to spare when the two gunmen were spotted on a rooftop directly beneath the choppers flight path.
Brown was about to board the Chinook military helicopter at the British Embassy in Kabul after talks with officials at the end of his one-day trip.
The PM, his closest aides, and a police and army protection team were just about to walk up the rear ramp of the Chinook when the alarm was sounded.
A security source said: The Prime Minister was told two hostiles had been spotted with guns on a nearby roof. He was rushed back to the compound and local forces dealt with the situation.
But as Afghan police rushed to the rooftop scene the two gunmen are understood to have realized they had been spottedand escaped.
The PM spent another 45 minutes sheltering inside the embassy in the Kabul Green Zone until a massive security operation swung into action for the 10-minute flight to the citys international airport. American Black Hawk helicopters were brought in to provide extra protection during the flight from the centre of Kabulfrom where he went on to Beijing for Sundays Olympic Games closing ceremony.
Brown was in Afghanistan for just a few hours and first addressed British troops at their Camp Bastion base in Helmand province. He then flew in a Hercules transport plane to Kabul for talks with Afghan president Hamid Karzai.
A Number 10 source said: We never comment on security matters. But the PM always takes the advice of the security forces. (ANI)

Looking for pen pal for my daughter
She is 11 and 1/2 and is interested in music, singing, reading, and her newest interest is trying to create music with her piano and dj software. She loves writing stories and is actually pretty good at it.
If you think ur child might be interested in becoming pen pals with my daughter please let me know
That sounds like a great idea! My daughter is 9, almost 10, and is homeschooled, she has friends here at Fort Benning, but since we're leaving later this year I think her having a snail mail pen pal would be great for her. It would give her someone new to talk to through letters, I wish more parents would think of things like this for their kids.
At her old school here on post they have a pen pal program where the kids will write letters to soldiers stationed here and those same soldiers actually go and volunteer at the school and hang out with the kids during recess, eat lunch with them, hang out in the classrooms. I thought it was so sweet of them to take time out of their busy day and go visit with all the kids. I know the kids really enjoy it.
Welcome and what a great idea! I have a 5 year old special needs child that is nonverbal so no writing for him yet but I wanted to welcome you.
I had a pen pal, but they never wrote. I've got a 7 year old who hates writing so no help here. Hope you find someone.
I love real letters. That said, I have no one of the correct age to help, but here's a bump.
How about the other children in your famliy? Like any aunts, uncles, cousins, 2nd cousins that are about her age. This can be a great opportunity for her to get closer to family member who live 3 hours or more away.
My kids (the one who can write) write to both sets of grandparents, their cousins, their little 3rd cousin in Itlay (he is 6 & need to practice his English) and my sisters (even the adult ones).

Hub designers shine in Fashion Week's final act
Tierney McAfee | 9/24/2008, 5:46 a.m.
"I got to play around with jewelry and makeup this time," Koumoundouros said. "It made presenting my collection more fun."
Koumoundouros recently worked in New York City for Marc Jacobs before returning to Boston to work as a color and fabrics designer at Converse. Like Jean-Baptiste, she says she appreciates the quieter ambience Boston has to offer.
"New York is so full of inspiration, but at the same time you can really get lost in the shuffle," Koumoundouros said. "Boston gives you room to breathe and nourish your talent, not only by working on your own stuff, but by seeing the other stuff that's quietly happening here. It's like a peaceful storm of creativity."
The only problem, as Jean-Baptiste sees it, is that Boston needs to be more supportive of local designers. He says he struggled with finding sponsors for last Friday's show, and had to finance the event largely on his own.
However, the show eventually found several sponsors, including Taj Hotels, Boston Fashion Week and FACE Africa, a Cambridge-based nonprofit organization that aims to help communities in Africa by addressing education, health and poverty issues.
"I planned this show hoping that it would open the eyes of some people in Boston," Jean-Baptiste said. "I want them to say, 'You know what, somebody's trying to do something and there is hope.'"
Despite the obstacles, including a last-minute change of location and a late start, Jean-Baptiste says he is happy with the outcome of the show.
"It wasn't what I designed in terms of the tiniest details, but judging [by] the response we got from the crowd, it went quite well," he said.
And there's always room to improve next year, Jean-Baptiste says.
Next year's Boston Fashion Exposé will span four days and will feature show favorite Yemi Osunkoya of Kosibah Creations, who came all the way from England for this year's show. Jean-Baptiste says the 2009 event will feature more designers, a hair show, urban streetwear, and of course, more couture.
"You best believe next year is going to be bigger and bigger and better and better in every way," Jean-Baptiste said.

Calling all hipsters: Casting on for The Real Hipsters of Vancouver
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Hipster might not be a job, if the B.C. government is to be believed, but it might just be a career.
A casting call posted on Craigslist Sunday for a new reality show called The Real Hipsters of Vancouver has caught the attention of three producers and two production companies — including one in L.A. — in addition to the national media.
Creators and producers Britt Irvin, 28, and Jesse Haddock, 26, came up with the concept a few months ago after concurring that their circle of friends is far more interesting than anything they've seen on Vancouver's most notorious reality show.
"We started thinking this is much grittier and more interesting than watching wealthy people fight on TV: seeing struggling artists and what they go through and the underground parties that they attend, and the vintage clothing they wear that has become, sort of, hip all of a sudden," Irvin told Metro Tuesday.
Irvin, an actor, and Haddock, a model, are looking for six or seven cast members who are "cutting-edge, likeable, interesting, and outrageous", and also possibly "hateable."
"It's going to make the Real Housewives look like a church potluck," Irvin said.
"It's going to be more drama, more crazy, and it's going to be fuelled by a lot more alcohol and a lot less tact." (If that's even possible.)
Aspiring stars of the show are encouraged to make a five-minute tape that shows as much of their personality as possible.
"We'd like to see basically what the person's job is or dream is," Irvin explained, "what pisses them off, where they like to hang out, who they hang out with, what kind of music do they like, what kind of clothes do they like to wear."
The gig is paid but it is unclear how much as production details are still being negotiated. Audition tapes must be submitted by March 18. For details, visit realhipstersofvancouver.com.

Acceptability Judgments
James Myers
Acceptability judgments are reports of a speaker's or signer's subjective sense of the well-formedness, nativeness, or naturalness of (novel) linguistic forms. Their value comes in providing data about the nature of the human capacity to generalize beyond linguistic forms previously encountered in language comprehension. For this reason, acceptability judgments are often also called grammaticality judgments (particularly in syntax), although unlike the theory-dependent notion of grammaticality, acceptability is accessible to consciousness. While acceptability judgments have been used to test grammatical claims since ancient times, they became particularly prominent with the birth of generative syntax. Today they are also widely used in other linguistic schools (e.g., cognitive linguistics) and other linguistic domains (pragmatics, semantics, morphology, and phonology), and have been applied in a typologically diverse range of languages. As psychological responses to linguistic stimuli, acceptability judgments are experimental data. Their value thus depends on the validity of the experimental procedures, which, in their traditional version (where theoreticians elicit judgments from themselves or a few colleagues), have been criticized as overly informal and biased. Traditional responses to such criticisms have been supplemented in recent years by laboratory experiments that use formal psycholinguistic methods to collect and quantify judgments from nonlinguists under controlled conditions. Such formal experiments have played an increasingly influential role in theoretical linguistics, being used to justify subtle judgment claims or new grammatical models that incorporate gradience or lexical influences. They have also been used to probe the cognitive processes giving rise to the sense of acceptability itself, the central finding being that acceptability reflects processing ease. Exploring what this finding means will require not only further empirical work on the acceptability judgment process, but also theoretical work on the nature of grammar.
Clinical Linguistics
Louise Cummings
Clinical linguistics is the branch of linguistics that applies linguistic concepts and theories to the study of language disorders. As the name suggests, clinical linguistics is a dual-facing discipline. Although the conceptual roots of this field are in linguistics, its domain of application is the vast array of clinical disorders that may compromise the use and understanding of language. Both dimensions of clinical linguistics can be addressed through an examination of specific linguistic deficits in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, craniofacial anomalies, adult-onset neurological impairments, psychiatric disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders. Clinical linguists are interested in the full range of linguistic deficits in these conditions, including phonetic deficits of children with cleft lip and palate, morphosyntactic errors in children with specific language impairment, and pragmatic language impairments in adults with schizophrenia.
Like many applied disciplines in linguistics, clinical linguistics sits at the intersection of a number of areas. The relationship of clinical linguistics to the study of communication disorders and to speech-language pathology (speech and language therapy in the United Kingdom) are two particularly important points of intersection. Speech-language pathology is the area of clinical practice that assesses and treats children and adults with communication disorders. All language disorders restrict an individual's ability to communicate freely with others in a range of contexts and settings. So language disorders are first and foremost communication disorders. To understand language disorders, it is useful to think of them in terms of points of breakdown on a communication cycle that tracks the progress of a linguistic utterance from its conception in the mind of a speaker to its comprehension by a hearer. This cycle permits the introduction of a number of important distinctions in language pathology, such as the distinction between a receptive and an expressive language disorder, and between a developmental and an acquired language disorder. The cycle is also a useful model with which to conceptualize a range of communication disorders other than language disorders. These other disorders, which include hearing, voice, and fluency disorders, are also relevant to clinical linguistics.
Clinical linguistics draws on the conceptual resources of the full range of linguistic disciplines to describe and explain language disorders. These disciplines include phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse. Each of these linguistic disciplines contributes concepts and theories that can shed light on the nature of language disorder. A wide range of tools and approaches are used by clinical linguists and speech-language pathologists to assess, diagnose, and treat language disorders. They include the use of standardized and norm-referenced tests, communication checklists and profiles (some administered by clinicians, others by parents, teachers, and caregivers), and qualitative methods such as conversation analysis and discourse analysis. Finally, clinical linguists can contribute to debates about the nosology of language disorders. In order to do so, however, they must have an understanding of the place of language disorders in internationally recognized classification systems such as the 2013 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) of the American Psychiatric Association.
Connectionism in Linguistic Theory
Xiaowei Zhao
Connectionism is an important theoretical framework for the study of human cognition and behavior. Also known as Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) or Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), connectionism advocates that learning, representation, and processing of information in mind are parallel, distributed, and interactive in nature. It argues for the emergence of human cognition as the outcome of large networks of interactive processing units operating simultaneously. Inspired by findings from neural science and artificial intelligence, connectionism is a powerful computational tool, and it has had profound impact on many areas of research, including linguistics. Since the beginning of connectionism, many connectionist models have been developed to account for a wide range of important linguistic phenomena observed in monolingual research, such as speech perception, speech production, semantic representation, and early lexical development in children. Recently, the application of connectionism to bilingual research has also gathered momentum. Connectionist models are often precise in the specification of modeling parameters and flexible in the manipulation of relevant variables in the model to address relevant theoretical questions, therefore they can provide significant advantages in testing mechanisms underlying language processes.
Derivational Morphology
Rochelle Lieber
Derivational morphology is a type of word formation that creates new lexemes, either by changing syntactic category or by adding substantial new meaning (or both) to a free or bound base. Derivation may be contrasted with inflection on the one hand or with compounding on the other. The distinctions between derivation and inflection and between derivation and compounding, however, are not always clear-cut. New words may be derived by a variety of formal means including affixation, reduplication, internal modification of various sorts, subtraction, and conversion. Affixation is best attested cross-linguistically, especially prefixation and suffixation. Reduplication is also widely found, with various internal changes like ablaut and root and pattern derivation less common. Derived words may fit into a number of semantic categories. For nouns, event and result, personal and participant, collective and abstract noun are frequent. For verbs, causative and applicative categories are well-attested, as are relational and qualitative derivations for adjectives. Languages frequently also have ways of deriving negatives, relational words, and evaluatives. Most languages have derivation of some sort, although there are languages that rely more heavily on compounding than on derivation to build their lexical stock. A number of topics have dominated the theoretical literature on derivation, including productivity (the extent to which new words can be created with a given affix or morphological process), the principles that determine the ordering of affixes, and the place of derivational morphology with respect to other components of the grammar. The study of derivation has also been important in a number of psycholinguistic debates concerning the perception and production of language.
Early Modern English
Terttu Nevalainen
In the Early Modern English period (1500–1700), steps were taken toward Standard English, and this was also the time when Shakespeare wrote, but these perspectives are only part of the bigger picture. This chapter looks at Early Modern English as a variable and changing language not unlike English today. Standardization is found particularly in spelling, and new vocabulary was created as a result of the spread of English into various professional and occupational specializations. New research using digital corpora, dictionaries, and databases reveals the gradual nature of these processes. Ongoing developments were no less gradual in pronunciation, with processes such as the Great Vowel Shift, or in grammar, where many changes resulted in new means of expression and greater transparency. Word order was also subject to gradual change, becoming more fixed over time.
Walter Bisang
Linguistic change not only affects the lexicon and the phonology of words, it also operates on the grammar of a language. In this context, grammaticalization is concerned with the development of lexical items into markers of grammatical categories or, more generally, with the development of markers used for procedural cueing of abstract relationships out of linguistic items with concrete referential meaning. A well-known example is the English verb go in its function of a future marker, as in She is going to visit her friend. Phenomena like these are very frequent across the world's languages and across many different domains of grammatical categories. In the last 50 years, research on grammaticalization has come up with a plethora of (a) generalizations, (b) models of how grammaticalization works, and (c) methodological refinements.
On (a): Processes of grammaticalization develop gradually, step by step, and the sequence of the individual stages follows certain clines as they have been generalized from cross-linguistic comparison (unidirectionality). Even though there are counterexamples that go against the directionality of various clines, their number seems smaller than assumed in the late 1990s.
On (b): Models or scenarios of grammaticalization integrate various factors. Depending on the theoretical background, grammaticalization and its results are motivated either by the competing motivations of economy vs. iconicity/explicitness in functional typology or by a change from movement to merger in the minimalist program. Pragmatic inference is of central importance for initiating processes of grammaticalization (and maybe also at later stages), and it activates mechanisms like reanalysis and analogy, whose status is controversial in the literature. Finally, grammaticalization does not only work within individual languages/varieties, it also operates across languages. In situations of contact, the existence of a certain grammatical category may induce grammaticalization in another language.
On (c): Even though it is hard to measure degrees of grammaticalization in terms of absolute and exact figures, it is possible to determine relative degrees of grammaticalization in terms of the autonomy of linguistic signs. Moreover, more recent research has come up with criteria for distinguishing grammaticalization and lexicalization (defined as the loss of productivity, transparency, and/or compositionality of former productive, transparent, and compositional structures).
In spite of these findings, there are still quite a number of questions that need further research. Two questions to be discussed address basic issues concerning the overall properties of grammaticalization. (1) What is the relation between constructions and grammaticalization? In the more traditional view, constructions are seen as the syntactic framework within which linguistic items are grammaticalized. In more recent approaches based on construction grammar, constructions are defined as combinations of form and meaning. Thus, grammaticalization can be seen in the light of constructionalization, i.e., the creation of new combinations of form and meaning. Even though constructionalization covers many apects of grammaticalization, it does not exhaustively cover the domain of grammaticalization. (2) Is grammaticalization cross-linguistically homogeneous, or is there a certain range of variation? There is evidence from East and mainland Southeast Asia that there is cross-linguistic variation to some extent.
Hmong-Mien Languages
David R. Mortensen
Hmong-Mien (also known as Miao-Yao) is a bipartite family of minority languages spoken primarily in China and mainland Southeast Asia. The two branches, called Hmongic and Mienic by most Western linguists and Miao and Yao by Chinese linguists, are both compact groups (phylogenetically if not geographically). Although they are uncontroversially distinct from one another, they bear a strong mutual affinity. But while their internal relationships are reasonably well established, there is no unanimity regarding their wider genetic affiliations, with many Chinese scholars insisting on Hmong-Mien membership in the Sino-Tibetan superfamily, some Western scholars suggesting a relationship to Austronesian and/or Tai-Kradai, and still others suggesting a relationship to Mon-Khmer. A plurality view appears to be that Hmong-Mien bears no special relationship to any surviving language family.
Hmong-Mien languages are typical—in many respects—of the non-Sino-Tibetan languages of Southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. However, they possess a number of properties that make them stand out. Many neighboring languages are tonal, but Hmong-Mien languages are, on average, more so (in terms of the number of tones). While some other languages in the area have small-to-medium consonant inventories, Hmong-Mien languages (and especially Hmongic languages) often have very large consonant inventories with rare classes of sounds like uvulars and voiceless sonorants. Furthermore, while many of their neighbors are morphologically isolating, few language groups display as little affixation as Hmong-Mien languages. They are largely head-initial, but they deviate from this generalization in their genitive-noun constructions and their relative clauses (which vary in position and structure, sometimes even within the same language).
Kiowa-Tanoan Languages
Daniel Harbour
The Kiowa-Tanoan family is a small group of Native American languages of the Plains and pueblo Southwest. It comprises Kiowa, of the eponymous Plains tribe, and the pueblo-based Tanoan languages, Jemez (Towa), Tewa, and Northern and Southern Tiwa. These free-word-order languages display a number of typologically unusual characteristics that have rightly attracted attention within a range of subdisciplines and theories.
One word of Taos (my construction based on Kontak and Kunkel's work) illustrates. In tóm-múlu-wia 'I gave him/her a drum,' the verb wia 'gave' obligatorily incorporates its object, múlu 'drum.' The agreement prefix tóm encodes not only object number, but identities of agent and recipient as first and third singular, respectively, and this all in a single syllable. Moreover, the object number here is not singular, but "inverse": singular for some nouns, plural for others (tóm-músi-wia only has the plural object reading 'I gave him/her cats').
This article presents a comparative overview of the three areas just illustrated: from morphosemantics, inverse marking and noun class; from morphosyntax, super-rich fusional agreement; and from syntax, incorporation. The second of these also touches on aspects of morphophonology, the family's three-tone system and its unusually heavy grammatical burden, and on further syntax, obligatory passives. Together, these provide a wide window on the grammatical wealth of this fascinating family.
Korean Phonetics and Phonology
Young-mee Yu Cho
Due to a number of unusual and interesting properties, Korean phonetics and phonology have been generating productive discussion within modern linguistic theories, starting from structuralism, moving to classical generative grammar, and more recently to post-generative frameworks of Autosegmental Theory, Government Phonology, Optimality Theory, and others. In addition, it has been discovered that a description of important issues of phonology cannot be properly made without referring to the interface between phonetics and phonology on the one hand, and phonology and morpho-syntax on the other. Some phonological issues from Standard Korean are still under debate and will likely be of value in helping to elucidate universal phonological properties with regard to phonation contrast, vowel and consonant inventories, consonantal markedness, and the motivation for prosodic organization in the lexicon.
Mayan Languages
Nora C. England
Mayan languages are spoken by over 5 million people in Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. There are around 30 different languages today, ranging in size from fairly large (about a million speakers) to very small (fewer than 30 speakers). All Mayan languages are endangered given that at least some children in some communities are not learning the language, and two languages have disappeared since European contact. Mayas developed the most elaborated and most widely attested writing system in the Americas (starting about 300 BC).
The sounds of Mayan languages consist of a voiceless stop and affricate series with corresponding glottalized stops (either implosive and ejective) and affricates, glottal stop, voiceless fricatives (including h in some of them inherited from Proto-Maya), two to three nasals, three to four approximants, and a five vowel system with contrasting vowel length (or tense/lax distinctions) in most languages. Several languages have developed contrastive tone.
The major word classes in Mayan languages include nouns, verbs, adjectives, positionals, and affect words. The difference between transitive verbs and intransitive verbs is rigidly maintained in most languages. They usually use the same aspect markers (but not always). Intransitive verbs only indicate their subjects while transitive verbs indicate both subjects and objects. Some languages have a set of status suffixes which is different for the two classes. Positionals are a root class whose most characteristic word form is a non-verbal predicate. Affect words indicate impressions of sounds, movements, and activities. Nouns have a number of different subclasses defined on the basis of characteristics when possessed, or the structure of compounds. Adjectives are formed from a small class of roots (under 50) and many derived forms from verbs and positionals.
Predicate types are transitive, intransitive, and non-verbal. Non-verbal predicates are based on nouns, adjectives, positionals, numbers, demonstratives, and existential and locative particles. They are distinct from verbs in that they do not take the usual verbal aspect markers. Mayan languages are head marking and verb initial; most have VOA flexible order but some have VAO rigid order. They are morphologically ergative and also have at least some rules that show syntactic ergativity. The most common of these is a constraint on the extraction of subjects of transitive verbs (ergative) for focus and/or interrogation, negation, or relativization. In addition, some languages make a distinction between agentive and non-agentive intransitive verbs. Some also can be shown to use obviation and inverse as important organizing principles. Voice categories include passive, antipassive and agent focus, and an applicative with several different functions.

(CONTENT NOTE: This post mentions racism and xenophobia, media sexualisation of children, sexist and racist harassment and sexual assault.)
This week, the 2016 Weird Awful News Machine has heavily featured Match of the Day presenter and crisp-advert-man Gary Lineker. Front-page tabloid headlines calling for him to be sacked, politicians attacking and defending him, debate still raging all over the internet… What on earth did Lineker say that was so huge and controversial it created this massive media storm?
"The treatment by some towards these young refugees is hideously racist and utterly heartless. What's happening to our country?"
Yep. That's really it. Very non-confrontational, doesn't blame anyone or anything directly, he even includes the phrase "by some" which you'd think would combat the usual not-all-white-people-not-all-Brexiters-not-me-not-me-not-me brigade.
Here, Lineker was criticising people and publications who responded to the arrival in the UK of fourteen – yes, fourteen – teenage refugees from Calais by scrutinising their photos, declaring them to "not look like children", and then being all furious and hateful because they must be lying about their age. (Heavy sarcasm incoming…) It can't be because people grow and age at different rates and adolescence is a particularly awkward time, with some children barely in secondary school being deemed fully grown (usually by those who want to sexualise them – the Daily Mail is particularly familiar with the "all grown up" trope) while some young adults are told they don't look old enough to have left school. It can't be because these refugees have seen horrors and devastation that no child should have to go through. Nope, apparently they have to be liars, because we as a society assume all refugees are lying about their situation (which conveniently means not having to feel guilty about the UK's part in creating and maintaining their situation) and secretly after "our" money, "our" jobs, "our" resources… wait, who is this "our"? There's the racism. I would then say the heartlessness is the fact that *fourteen* refugees arrive and the immediate response is anger over the fairly slim chance that a few of them are adults, because heaven forbid we help an 18-year-old get a roof over their head and the chance of a fresh start rather than a 17-year-old, right?
This leads us nicely into the often overlooked distinction between offence and harm. If Lineker is wrong (which he isn't) then what are the consequences? At worst, an adult refugee gets the assistance they need. You could make the argument that a child refugee would be missing out on that assistance, but frankly the problem there is how limited the numbers are in the first place because immigration even to escape war and persecution is so demonised. As for the people who are angry at Lineker's statement, I'm not sure the arrival of f o u r t e e n refugees, whatever their age, affects them or the "general public" they claim to represent much at all. It's not about the risk of harm. It's about offence.
I'll make that clear: The Sun (which, as awful as it is, does for some reason hold a lot of sway over public opinion and, in turn, political opinion) called for a man who talks about people kicking a ball around to be sacked from that job because they're offended that he had a completely unrelated opinion different from their own. That's the situation. So where the heck are the free speech brigade?
They were out in force when Richard Keys and Andy Gray, who also talked about people kicking a ball around, were dismissed for making sexually derogatory remarks about women and stating a female linesman was not fit for the role due to her gender – remarks that reinforce prevalent sexual harassment of women and existing barriers to women in male-dominated careers, i.e. causing harm rather than just offence, but were still seen by many as just "banter". They were out in force when alt-right pundit Milo Yiannopoulos was banned from Twitter for repeatedly violating its terms of service, culminating in sustained racial abuse and harassment against actress Leslie Jones – such harassment and abuse can and does cause long-lasting psychological harm, but as the tweets in the link show, that was seen as suppression of free speech over offence. And, of course, a couple of weeks ago *actual US presidential candidate* Donald Trump pretty much admitted to sexually assaulting women – I hope I don't need to tell you that sexual assault is harmful, but Trump and his supporters dismissed this as "locker room banter", and he's still running for President even though I could continue this "harmful statements defended as free speech" paragraph forever just on the Trump campaign alone.
As the above incidents and many more show, there are a lot of people around who apparently care about nothing more than freedom of expression, no matter how much these views can cause real harm to the rights and freedoms of others (or "special snowflakes looking for offence" as they'd put it). These people use their (mistaken) conception of free speech to attack everything from combating harassment to using trigger warnings. So in comparison to that, you'd think a football presenter and crisp enthusiast who just said refugees are people and should be treated as such would be an easy case, right? But nope, just silence.
Apparently "some people are being racist and heartless towards these refugees" is just too radical a statement.
It's almost as if those who criticise taking hate speech seriously don't actually care about freedom of speech; only freedom to hate.

Smalley asks voters to support her reelection
It has been my privilege to serve as your Fairfield County Clerk of Courts for the past three years.
As Clerk, I am responsible for the operation of three offices,two in Lancaster and one in Pickerington. When I took office,the delay in filing cases in the Legal division was over six weeks. Today, that period is less than twenty-four hours. This improvement has taken place even as the Legal division case load has more than doubled.
The Title offices have continued to increase the number of titles processed and increase revenue to a level where FairfieldCounty is now ranked number two in the state in cross-county titling. As your Clerk of Courts, I manage annually over $40 million dollars in public funds which is audited internally, by the County Auditor, and by the State Auditor.
The only way these accomplishments have occurred is a direct result of the dedicated and professional employees who serve with me in these offices.
I would encourage anyone to visit my officesand experience for yourself the professional care and service you will receive.
I ask for your vote of support on Tuesday, March 4. Deborah Smalley Fairfield County Clerk of Courts

HTC One max: part of HTC's winning strategy
Today all the news seems to be about the HTC One max. Some love it, others hate it. Taken as a whole, the newest device from HTC seems like nothing more than a big version of their old flagship.
And that's okay
HTC has found a form-factor that looks good, functions well, and is very obviously scalable between small and large — at least when we're talking about smartphones. Many will tell you that it's simply not enough. They'll say that HTC needed to pour the latest and greatest of everything into their newest device. Some will even call this "another nail in the coffin" and will predict that HTC is one step closer to the grave.
They're wrong
One of the hardest things for a consumer electronics company to do is to come up with a really good design. That design must be functional, durable, and it must survive the test of time as consumer tastes change. Let's look at another company that is all about design and user experience: Apple.
Apple, in case you didn't know, makes an insanely popular line of phones that goes under the "iPhone" moniker. Perhaps you've heard of them, you may have even seen some of their products "in the wild". Stop for a moment and ask yourself, how do you know it's an iPhone and not some other phone? It just "looks" like and iPhone, right? Is it an iPhone 5S or just an iPhone 5? Maybe it's an iPhone 4S or even just an iPhone 4. Other than color, they all look pretty much the same until you get back to the iPhone 3, right? Yes, you and I both know the differences between each of these devices, but the average person does not. They just know that it's an iPhone, and that's good enough for them.
That's what HTC is doing, except instead of changing the insides like Apple is, HTC has managed to take the same exterior design and develop three different sizes around it. That's not an easy task, but HTC has managed to do it. After having been introduced to any of the devices in the One family, anyone who sees another will immediately recognize it as an HTC. That's what HTC is after: device recognition, and along with it, brand recognition. It's done a good job at it, too!
But now we have the uncomfortable topic of "innards" to discuss. Yes, the One max isn't running the latest and greatest processor. No, it doesn't have a removable battery. Those are okay, too. We spend far too much time talking about lines on the spec sheet, and although I'd love having a removable battery, I'll make do with an sdcard slot and a third-party portable battery solution instead.
At the end of the day, people may say the One max is a 7-month old phone in a bigger, phablet body. They're right. But HTC has done its due diligence to make sure that it doesn't matter. Give it a chance, and give it a try. No phone is perfect, and despite its shortcomings, I think HTC may have finally hit upon a winning strategy.

This is my first try at a Hermione/Bill pairing. A very special thank you to onecelestialbeing for posing the idea in a review to my other story.
Chapter 1
"Christ… you're not gonna puke are you?" Ginny stared at her best friend, and unofficial sister, in horror. Hermione groaned, looking pale and maybe a little green. "Bloody hell… breath!" She commanded, fanning the 21 year old with a magazine.
"I don't think I can do this Gin," Hermione said faintly.
"Sure you can! Come on 'Mione, you've got this. Gringotts is lucky to get you. Hell, I'm pretty sure Kingsley's still bitter he didn't get you to come to the ministry and work directly with him."
"How can you be so sure? I heard there's a new supervisor, and I'll be working right under him! What if he doesn't like me? Or worse… what If he does? What if he turns out to be old, wrinkly, gross and smelly and he tries to demand sexual favors like in some porno?" Hermione's voice grew more and more shrill and louder as she spoke, her imagination obviously getting out of hand. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth to start up again when a hand clamped over it. At the same time an arm snaked around her waist and pulled her against a warm chest, and a nose nuzzled just below her ear, slightly hindered by a pair of glasses. Hermione quickly relaxed against the chest, and soon the hand was removed from her mouth.
"Harry," Hermione greeted lightly.
"Better?" He asked. She nodded and let him step away from her.
"Morning," Ginny smiled and kissed her boyfriend hello. "Thank god you're here." She added, grinning in amusement at just how quickly Ron or Harry could calm her with a hug and a well-placed nuzzle.
"Freaked by the first day on the job?" Harry asked rhetorically. Ginny nodded as they watched Hermione stare at her reflection, fixing her impeccable image. She wore a simple white button down and black slacks that covered all but the toes of her high heel boots she wore. Her blouse was unbuttoned to reveal her collar bone and the heart locket she wore containing pictures of her parents and Harry and Ron. A simple, tasteful watch was trapped to her left wrist. Her hair was left loose except for a clip holding the top half of her hair back out of her face. Her shoulder blade length hair ran free in gentle, soft ringlets. She wore simple make up, so light and minimal it looked as though she wore none at all.
"You should hurry… you've got 20 minutes before you're supposed to meet with your new boss." Harry warned. Hermione gasped and ran out of the room. The couples stared at the door for a moment, and were surprised to see Hermione quickly run back in to the room.
"Purse!" She half sang, snatching the handbag and running back out. Harry and Ginny turned to one another and shared a soft laugh.
Hermione sprinted best as she could down the gorgeous marble floored hallway. A glitch with the floo network, an overly friendly dwarf and several crotchety goblins left her funning at least a good five minutes late. In a borderline hysterical panic she ran into her new boss's office, gasping to catch her breath.
"I am so, so sorry… sir!" Hermione called out, barely even in the front door. "I swear this is not a habit or anything. It'll never happen again, I swear!" Hermione babbled.
"Of course… there's really no need to be so concerned. Five minutes here or there is hardly worth the panic. I barely got in myself." A deep voice resounded from the closet.
"Oh…right. Thank you sir." Hermione called, stepping further in to the office, curious about the owner of the nice voice.
"No need for the formality," the voice grew louder and clearer, indicating the owner had turned and was approaching. "You can just call me…"
"Bill," Hermione gasped, interrupting him. They stood still as statues, staring at one another in shock.

Langeveldt pulls out of tour
Charl Langeveldt has withdrawn from South Africa's tour of India and is considering his international future.
Last Updated: 18/03/08 5:05pm
Charl Langeveldt has withdrawn from South Africa's tour of India and is considering his international future.
Langeveldt was controversially picked ahead of fellow fast bowler Andre Nel as part of Cricket South Africa's 'transformation policy', which calls for six of the 14-man squad to be non-white.
The selection went against the wishes of coach Mickey Arthur who wanted to retain the same squad that recently enjoyed a successful tour of Bangladesh, even though that included only four non-white players.
"Charl Langeveldt called me today in an emotional state saying he wanted to withdraw from the tour to India so that he can consider his international future in the right frame of mind," said CSA chief executive Gerald Majola in a statement.
"He said that the public controversy over the selection of the Proteas team to tour India had upset him to the extent that he would not be in the right frame of mind to tour India and do his best for the Proteas.
Cool and calm
"Charl said he wanted to use this time instead to consider his future in international cricket in a cool and calm manner.
"I have assured Charl that he is very much in the Proteas' plans, and is regarded as one of our best fast bowlers in both ODI and Test cricket.
"We will have in-depth discussions with him and hopefully he will continue to be available for international selection."
Nel's international future also remains unclear after he reacted angrily to being dropped when the squad for India was announced on the eve of the final one-day international in Bangladesh.
The South African selectors have yet to name Langeveldt's replacement.

The Wharton grad is an executive vice president at her dad's firm -- and fast becoming the family's next brand.
She helped launch the Trump Hotel Collection that has three open properties and more than a dozen in the pipeline. Most recently, she's been involved in a deal to buy back Trump Entertainment Resorts in Atlantic City in an effort to revive the casino group.
But Trump isn't a clone of her father; prior to joining the family business she gained entry-level experience while working for developer Bruce Ratner and recently launched her own

text: I've just been looking at the various thread discussions in this list.... I'm curious as to the model proposed for user threads and their interaction with the kernel. I'm particularly interested wrt to native thread support for a Java VM (just got back from Javaus99 :-) While Solaris threads may be complex, the ability to map many user space "threads" to a smaller number of kernel threads sounds like a good thing - assuming you want a JVM that can support 1000's of threads efficiently. You probably don't need many more "kernel" threads than you have cpu's available, otherwise unless the kernel context switches are way slick, you can't scale to 1000's of threads. For the JVM, green_threads will do until the kernel supports SMP, but it would be nice to hear where (if anywhere) NetBSD is heading. --sjg

Chroma.Club is getting into their stride! In June, they made some great changes by making the book bigger, themed and introducing custom artwork. In July, they introduced voting for your favorite artwork. Now this month, they've included a game of hide-and-go-seek the Oscar! If you find the Oscar, post it on social media (#ChromaOscar). If you are chosen by Chroma.Club as the winner, you receive a Chroma Club coloring starter kit. I think Chroma.Club staff is having a great time thinking of new things to do each month and as a subscriber, I'm enjoying it too!
Chroma.Club's goal is to "blend the calming benefits of art therapy with the fun of creativity and innovation, by publishing design that won't bore you, and will create a real connection between the original artworks and the colors you use to add more fun, life, or character to them."
Chroma.Club tries to source about half of their pages from independent artists each month. Not only do I love the art in these booklets but I think it is great that Chroma.Club gives new artists exposure and payment for their contributions.
The artwork is great again! How amazing it the zodiac sign this month?
Verdict: I like Chroma.Club better and better each month. They have a great variety and really cool, interesting artwork in these booklets which I enjoy much better than the full size coloring books. We found this size was a bit difficult for two people to color at the same time but the size is great for one person and the booklet is easy to take with you.
As for the value of this subscription, we think $8.00 for such a cool book with interesting artwork, is a good value. I love having the new designs each month as well as the variation in art. Everyone is different though so you have to ask yourself if the $8.00 cost is worth it to you. An adult coloring book on Amazon typically costs between $5.00 and $10.00. We own three adult coloring books and if you compare the number of pages you receive, the large book format from Amazon is a better deal. What I don't like about the large books is that they aren't as easy to take with you and they typically stick to one theme. We end up getting bored with the larger books. Chroma.Club has different designs and themes with an easy to carry booklet and because of this I find Chroma.Club coloring booklets are what I choose most often.
Does Chroma.Club look like something you might enjoy each month?

IT started off in a shed at the bottom of a garden and is now one of the nation's most well-respected film making firms.
Film-maker Mark Herbert is now celebrating a decade of success of producing modern-day British film classics, and is showing no signs of slowing up.
Mark, from Conisbrough, was a production and location manager, most notably on his comedy Phoenix Nights, before he decided to take the plunge and help set up Warp Films.
After the firm's debut, Dead Man's Shoes - which was shot in a budget in just 22 days - Warp has gone from strength to strength, going to produce cult classics including This Is England and Four Lions, becoming the most sought-after film-makers in the business.
"We had the idea of artist-driven films and after two bottles of Jack Daniels, we decided to give it a go, " he said.
"I've got a film degree. But I don't know who else in the company has. It's about who they are, their character and their work ethic and that's been something that will hopefully keep going."
Dead Man's Shoes earned a BAFTA nomination, was nominated for a record eight British Independent Film Awards, won the Hitchcock D'or at the Dinard Festival, and won the Southbank award for Best Film. It received strong critical acclaim and was ranked number 27 in Empire magazines list of the best British films ever.
But it was the Bafta winning This is England, an insight into 1980s skinhead culture, that began to draw international acclaim to the company and cemented the ongoing partnership between Mark and director Shane Meadows.
Shane and Mark are currently working together once again on a documentary on The Stone Roses Reunion, which is due to be released in the spring. They are also gearing up for the film Tommy Simpson, based on the Harworth-based cyclist who died during the 1967 Tour De France.
From the humble beginnings of Mark's garden, Warp now has its head office in Sheffield as well as bases in London and Melbourne, Australia.
Its tenth anniversary has been marked by a series of special screenings, exhibitions, talks and even a bumper film screening next weekend at Rotherham's Magna centre.
n An exhibition showing ten Warp Film posters as reinterpreted by Pete McKee is now on display at Sheffield's The Showroom Cinema, Paternoster Row.
An exclusive showing of Warp Films' Dead Man's Shoes among other anniversary celebrations will take place at the Magna centre in Rotherham in on November 17 from 6pm to 4am. Tickets £27.50. For full details, visit www.vistmagna.co.uk


text: Has anyone else noticed that you have to increase the torque number to get the same stretch? I had to go up at least 8lb-ft to get the minimum amount of stretch on my rod bolts. Now I am wondering about my main studs and head studs since this is the first time I have used this lube. I does seem to be really consistent which is what they say is the best attribute of it, but I haven't seen where they say to increase torque numbers when using it. Just wondering.

In Vivo Marking of Single Cells in Chick Embryos Using Photoactivation of GFP
Selective marking of a single cell within a living embryo is often difficult due to the inaccuracy and invasiveness of standard techniques. This unit describes a minimally invasive optical protocol that uses 405‐nm laser light to photoactivate a variant of green fluorescent protein (PAGFP). This method takes advantage of the accessibility of the chick embryo to inject PAGFP into a region of interest and uses electroporation to deliver the construct into cells. This unit describes in detail how single and small groups of cells (n<10) that express PAGFP can be made visually distinguishable from the host population using the photoactivation process. Included is a means to maximize the fluorescence increase due to photoactivated GFP signal and to reduce photobleaching. Briefly outlined are previously developed chick culture and time‐lapse imaging techniques to allow for the subsequent monitoring of photoactivated cell migratory behaviors. The technique has the potential to be a less‐invasive, accurate tool for in vivo studies that involve following cell lineage and cell migration.

Sold/Listed at: Private Treaty - Canadian Warmblood - SUPER easy 4yo... worth her weight in GOLD!!!
Hadrian has been a proven producer of top Warmblood Sport Horses for many years. His offspring are proven in sport and conformation line classes. His pedigree includes the elite. The Trakehner Hefte says of Hadrian... "Appearing very strong and compact. In his foundation he fulfills the highest expectations for a breeding stallion and exhibits much cadence in his way of going"
Rio Grande was the winner of the stallion performance test at Novemberhill Farm in 1991 scoring an excellent 135 points with consistently high scores for jumping (134 pts) and rideability (130pts.). He started his show career in the dressage ring. He was Basic Dressage Champion at the prestigious Tournament of Champions as a four year old. From 1994 to 1997 he was shown very successfully in the Grand Prix jumper ring by CET member Eric Lamaze. They were part of Team Canada that won the Nations Cup in New York and Toronto in 1995 and they won an International Class at the 1995 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.
Hadria's pedigree also includes the great Westfalen jumper sire Polydor who, among his accolades, was twice honored with the title "sire of the world", the world`s best transmitter of showjumpers. The life winnings of his progeny comprised almost four million Euro in 2003. Polydor produced such international jumping stars as Porter, Panima, Gutsy Monroe, Argellith Bellenuit, Two Steps, La Silla, and Burg's Pretty Woman. Positano one team silver at the Sydney Olympics. In 2006, Pilgrim (born 1995, out of a Weinberg mare) jumped successfully with Bjorn Nagel, while Sören Pedersen enjoyed success with Polly (out of a Parcours mare) while the licensed stallion, Pontifex (Polydor x Dialekt) jumped well with Lutz Gripshöver. At the World Cup final in 2006, the Libero H mare, Libertina, out of a Polydor mare, was a superstar with Jessica Kurten.
Dam, Riscay has a HUGE jump!
New Video February 6th 2011:
**Hauled down to the local equestrian centre today and she was a star....acted like a seasoned show horse! Hacked out on the x-country course and even went through the creek without batting an eye! SUPER EASY mare! Worth her weight in GOLD!*** Buy now, so you can develop your partnership over the winter and take the show season by storm next spring!!! Price WILL be going up in the spring!!
