Feb. 28, 2009
The Bulldogs must have felt like they ran into a nest of angry bees this afternoon when they ventured North to Amherst. Jim Connolly had seven goals and Tim Balise had four goals and one assist as the No. 20 ranked Massachusetts men's lacrosse team defeated Yale 18-6 at Garber Field.
The Minutemen, coming off a loss to Hofstra, scored the first four goals and seven of the game's first eight tallies on the way to a 12-2 halftime lead.
Michael Karwoski, Colin Still, Brian Douglass, Mark Dobrosky and Brendan and Matt Gibson each hit the net once for the Elis, who fall to 1-1 on the season after opening with a win at Holy Cross. Freshman goalie Andrew Brown made his debut for the Blue and made 11 saves.
The Minutemen (2-1) won easily despite Yale's edge in ground balls (40-29) and faceoffs (15 of 25). However, the Bulldogs failed on eight clear attempts and went scoreless with three man-advantages. Meanwhile, UMass cashed in on four of its seven advantages.
Doc Schneider played all but five minutes in the UMass net and stopped 14 shots.

Melges Performance Sailboats Partners with Asia Yacht Services to Debut Melges 20 in Hong Kong
25 November 2008
Article by Sam Rogers - Continuing on the Melges 20 world tour, the latest stop for the new, exciting 20 foot sportboat was the city of Hong Kong where sailing is on the rise and the sailors are always hungry for the lastest in racing innovation. The Melges 20 was welcomed with great anticipation at the local yacht clubs and if the excitement shown for this boat is any indication, it will be a regular fixture in the Hong Kong racing scene in the coming months.
Asia Yacht Services, which specializes in providing excellence in boating and sailing to the Hong Kong community, will add to its already exceptional line up of products with the inclusion of the Melges 20. With a casual, yet diligent and professional approach to boating, Asia Yacht Services will be an excellent ambassador for the Melges 20 and its growth in Hong Kong.
The first stop for the Melges 20 was the Hebe Haven Yacht Club where it was unloaded from a container with plenty of onlookers. The builder of the Melges 20, McConaghy Boats, is located just a few hours away, so the delivery was seemless and efficient. After a quick assembly, the Melges 20 was sailing off the waters of Sai Kung admidst the local fisherman with the mountains of Hong Kong in the background, a truly beautiful site. At the end of the day, the Melges 20 was put to rest at Marina Cove and the Hong Kong International Boat Show where it was cleaned up and put on display for Hong Kong's eager boating community.
Dubbed as the largest boat show in the region, the Hong Kong International Boat Show certainly offered the "best of the best" when is comes to boating in the far east. Despite being parked next to 100ft motor yachts and large cruising catamarans, the Melges 20 stole the show with its sleek lines and overall simple features. It was particularly appealing as it was pointed out that the novice sailors can now compete with the more experienced sailors while at the same time having the feel and excitement of a fast, agile sportboat. It did not take long to figure out by the expressions on the boat show attendees that the Melges 20 will be a major success in Hong Kong.
After spending two days at the Boat Show, the Melges 20 made a 17-mile journey down the coast into bustling Hong Kong Harbor and the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club where it would make preparations for the 2008 Loro Piana Around Hong Kong Island Race. This is easily the biggest yacht race in Hong Kong with over 200 participants taking place in this years running. There were several grand prix yachts over 60 ft, TP 52s and a variety of 50 footers mixed together with Etchells, Dragons, Magic 25s and the Melges 20.
On its quick sail to the starting line, Melges 20 turned a lot of heads as many sailors from Hong Kong had not seen the latest product from Melges Performance Sailboats. Starting with larger sportboats like Magic 25s and Longzte Premiers, the Melges 20 had its work cut out for it. Just off the starting line, it was clear the Melges 20 was not to be taken lightly as it outperformed many of the Magics and a few of the Longztes. Sailing amidst massive skyscrapers and the city of Hong Kong in the background, it held its own as the fleet turned the corner into the South China Sea. With the breeze hovering around 4-6 kts, the Melges 20 snaked through many of the boats in its own fleet while over taking 30, 40 and 50 footers which required a bit more breeze. Each time the Melges 20 made a pass, there were many fingers pointed with audible expressions of "what kind of boat is that?" being heard.
About two-thirds the way around the Island of Hong Kong, the race course was shortened due to lack of wind. Despite being the smallest boat in its division, the Melges 20 finished in the top right alongside the larger boats it had started with. After a brief tow, the Melges 20 headed back into Hong Kong Harbor and the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club where it was prominently put on display for the large group of sailors to grab a view.
Based around one of the largest cities in the world, the sailing community in Hong Kong has grown rapidly over the past few years as they have begun to embrace boating and sailing with great enthusiasm. With the addition of the Melges 20 to the sailing landscape in Hong Kong, the local sailors now have a boat that can include a wide variety of sailors, while at the same time providing them with the experience of competing in a boat that is widely recognized around the world. The Melges 20 stormed into Hong Kong, just the latest stop for this pocket-sized sportboat in its already successful world tour.

Rude Cat Who Refuses to Let Other Cat Eat Proves Cat People Are All Wrong [VIDEO]
This cat should have one very simple New Year's resolution: share.
In this video, one cat takes the stereotype of felines as selfish to a whole new level by refusing to let another cat eat from any of three bowls set up for them.
It's scenes like this that probably explain why dog lovers choose the pets they do.

The 2011 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Men's and Women's Basketball Championships have been awarded to Cal State East Bay, conference commissioner Robert J. Hiegert announced on Monday.
The 16-team event will be contested March 1-5 with the semifinals and championship games slated for Pioneer Gymnasium (3,500) on the campus of Cal State East Bay in Hayward. The championship format calls for eight men's and eight women's teams to compete in first-round games at campus sites on March 1 with the winners advancing to the semifinals on March 4 in Hayward. The championship games will be played on Saturday, March 5.
"Through a vote of the CCAA's Executive Council, Cal State East Bay was chosen as the championship site over Cal State San Bernardino and Humboldt State," Hiegert said. "Since the return of the CCAA Basketball Championships in 2008, the event has continued to grow and last year's tournament at Humboldt State set a revenue record.
"By electing Cal State East Bay as the 2011 host, Bay Area fans will have an opportunity to watch outstanding Division II college basketball," Hiegert added. "The CCAA has a storied and rich basketball history as evidenced by Cal Poly Pomona winning to the 2010 NCAA Men's National Championship."
Cal State East Bay will be the third different campus to host the tournament since 2008 and will serve as a true neutral site. The Pioneers, who are in their second year as a member of the CCAA, are re-classifying from Division III to Division II, and have one year remaining before they are eligible to compete for NCAA and conference championships.
"Cal State East Bay is pleased to have the opportunity to host the CCAA basketball championships. We are proud to be a part of a great conference and in the unique situation for 2011 of providing a neutral site for the championship in a good facility with which the conference is already familiar," Cal State East Bay Director of Athletics Debby De Angelis said.

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspen Dental is proud to announce that a new Aspen Dental office is opening in Chesterfield, Michigan on Thursday, October 11. Located at 50555 Gratiot Ave., the practice will provide dental services that range from dentures and preventive care to general dentistry and restoration.
Dr. James Adie, a Michigan native who received his DDS at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, has nearly 20 years of dental practice under his belt.
"We are very excited to open our doors here in Chesterfield and to be a part of the community," said Dr. Adie. "My staff and I are eager to meet the community and help patients get the care they need."
In addition to offering patients the choice of seven styles of Aspen Dental's exclusive ComfiDents® brand full and partial dentures, Aspen Dental will provide comprehensive exams, hygiene services, treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work. The office features digital radiography and offers advanced screening for oral cancer.
At this new Aspen Dental location, dentists and staff provide:
- Personalized treatment. Quick-fix solutions don't solve larger or chronic oral health problems. That's why Aspen Dental takes a comprehensive approach to dental care. Following the initial exam and X-rays, each patient receives a customized treatment plan designed by the dentist with long-term oral and overall health in mind.
- Wide range of flexible payment options. Cost shouldn't prevent patients from getting the dental care they deserve. That's why Aspen Dental offers special promotions, senior discounts, and free new-patient exams and X-rays for patients without dental insurance. The practice works with all insurance providers and handles the paperwork, saving patients time and hassle.
- Convenient hours and location. The office will be open extended hours, including evenings and select Saturdays, so that patients can see the dentist at a time that works best for their schedule. Walk-in and emergency patients are welcome.
The office hours are as follows:
- Monday: 9 am – 6 pm
- Tuesday: 11 am – 8 pm
- Wednesday: 9 am – 6 pm
- Thursday: 9 am – 6 pm
- Friday: 8 am – 5 pm
- Saturdays: By appointment
- Variety of options for denture patients. ComfiDents® full and partial dentures come in seven styles, giving patients more options than are available at traditional dental practices. Regardless of the denture selected, each is custom-crafted, and the dentist works with every patient to ensure proper fit and comfort. As an added convenience, Aspen Dental has its own on-site denture laboratory, which helps facilitate quick turnaround for denture repairs, relines or adjustments. Free denture consultations are available for all denture patients.
To make an appointment, patients can call (586) 684-5020 or 800-ASPEN DENTAL (800-277-3633), or visit www.aspendental.com.

Serious Sandwiches: The Girl & the Fig's Pork Tartine Recipe
The perfect setting requires a serious sandwich, and The Girl & The Fig, in downtown Sonoma, California, serves it up in the form of the Pork Tartine. Pronounced "tarteen," the word is essentially French for anything delicious, layered on a single slice of bread; or, just a fancy way of saying "open-faced sandwich." While many will argue that a proper sandwich requires two pieces of bread, I say why discriminate?
With only one day in wine country, my wife and I wanted to make it count foodwise, so we hit pay dirt when we unearthed Sondra Bernstein's restaurant nestled in the Sonoma Hotel. It's exactly the kind of place you want to eat lunch on a beautiful Northern California daygood food, fresh ingredients, and most important, an outdoor patio.
Great bread is the biggest endorsement for an open-faced sandwich. One giant thick slice of a good bread allows you to fully appreciate the chewiness that would be lost with two thinner slices of grilled breadand two slices of thick bread is just too much.
Chef John Toulze starts with a thick slice of Country Round from the award winning Basque Boulangerie (460 First St. E., Sonoma). It gets grilled and smeared with a caper aioli, and topped with watercress. Then comes the pile of Niman Ranch pork loin, which has been brined and slow roasted, before getting thinly sliced. Then the sandwich is finished off with the ultimate condiment- the house made apple & apricot chutney. I'm a big fan of the sweet and salty combo in my sandwiches, and the chutney was not only delicious, but was the best advertisement for the Girl & the Fig bottled jams, chutneys and compotes.
As I sat munching on my delicious open faced sandwich, in the open air patio of the Girl & The Fig, I wondered if it was the wine, the atmosphere or that damn fine chutney that made the thing taste so perfect. Only one way to find out...

Clute, Ferrell, Schulkin and Zagroba have been honored for their academic and athletic achievements (Gil Talbot).
Scholar All-America Individual Honors
Scholar All-America Team Honors
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Deirdre Clute, Stephanie Ferrell, Danielle Schulkin and Catherine Zagroba of the Harvard women's swimming and diving team have been named College Swimming Coaches Association of America Scholar All-America honorable mention selections, recognizing both their academic and athletic achievements. As a team, the Crimson combined for a 3.39 GPA during the 2011-12 academic year, earning the squad Scholar All-America Team honors.
Clute earned the accolade after posting a 3.625 GPA for the academic year and eclipsing the NCAA 'B' standard in the 200 back at the HYP meet. The rising junior took fourth in both the 100 and 200 back at the Ivy League Championships, and recorded a total of five personal bests on the season.
Ferrell maintained a 3.57 GPA through her freshman year and posted NCAA 'B' standard times in both the 100 and 200 breast to earn honorable mention accolades. She set personal records in the two events at the Georgia Invitational in December while posting a pair of top 10 finishes at the Ivy League Championships.
Schulkin, who reached the NCAA 'B' cut in the 200 fly, 200 medley relay and the 400 medley relay, owns a 3.65 cumulative GPA as a history & science concentrator. She finished third in the 200 fly and fourth in the 100 fly at the Ivy League Championships, just three weeks after winning the 200 fly at HYP. Schulkin recorded new personal bests in seven events this season, including her winning performance in the 200 fly at HYP.
Zagroba graduated in May with a cumulative GPA of 3.73 in psychology after eclipsing the NCAA 'B' standard as a member of Harvard's winning 800 free relay team at the Ivy League Championships. This marked the third victory of Zagroba's career in the event and was the fourth time she had earned All-Ivy honors. The senior also placed fifth in the 200 free, fifth in the 500 free and seventh in the 1,650 free at Ivies, and was named to the Academic All-Ivy League Team in April.
The Honorable Mention Scholar All-America award is presented to college and university swimmers and divers who have achieved a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, for the semester or cumulative average, and have achieved a "B" time standard, but have not qualified to compete in their respective national championship. The award is presented in the semester of the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships (Winter/Spring).
The Scholar All-America Team award is presented to college and university swimming and diving teams who have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. The award is presented to teams achieving this standard in the fall semester and in the semester of the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships (winter/spring).

A couple months ago i started helping someone I know who claimed they had a haunted apartment building by reviewing some evp's, and photo's. After a while we lost touch. However, recently we have gotten back in touch with each other and I have started going and actually trying to get some evidence on my own with my friend aeyron.
Before losing touch with them i had an evp on my smart phone that said "Fear Me" this kind of concerned me but, i gave it no thought and kept helping them.This brings us to the first night me and my friend went to investigate.
Upon entering their apartment I asked to see the safe I posted pictures of. Since the activity starting happening when the residents starting messing with the safe I thought this would be a good place to start. Low and behold not even 10 minutes into the investigation we had an evp. The rest of the night we had cold spots appearing and disappearing and some more evps. By far the coolest yet strangest thing we (as in like 5 people) witnessed was a shadow outside the door way.The door then creaked open. I thought it might be someone pulling our legs and motioned to aeyron to open the door, all the time watching the shadow. as he grabbed the door knob the shadow stayed but, when the door opened there was no one and as he shut the door it vacuum sucked shut.During the night i felt as if i was pushed up the stairs and aeyron swears he felt someone poke him in the leg.
The second night we went back I experienced something like I have never experienced before. I suddenly started crying and I was drawn towards the door of the apartment. I asked for the camera and took one picture that came out fine. The next picture was almost completely dark red to the point where it was black. We tried to recreate this by covering the flash, and everything and could not.I don't know what I experienced but it made me feel uncomfortable to say the least. I have also felt dizzy, nauseas, and my head hurt anytime I would try and go by the attic door or up on the landing.
I have since consulted at least 2 sensitives and have heard very similar and very alarming things about this building.Especially concerning one part I wouln't talk about. Am I out of my league here ? Also my friend told me that maybe I am a sensitive to some extent and don't even know it is that even possible ?
Some strange things on my current investigation

This sounds like a pretty active place. What is the story behind safe? Do you know of the building's history or that specific apartment?
It does sound like you are somewhat sensitive, or atleast that would be my take on why you had some of the emotional moments during your investigation.
I am interested in hearing more...

I know at some point it was a jewelers and the two guys that ran it used to count the money upstairs. The safe was made in Pittsburgh. It's from the 1800's. I know the building has some morbid history and quite a few people were killed or killed themselves there.
Posted 10 January 2009 - 11:10 PM
were the people that were killed there, were they killed in that particular room you were investagating or were they killed just in the building?
Posted 14 January 2009 - 12:53 PM

Wow that's pretty interesting Phil. As of above^ It doesn't necessarily matter at all which room the people were killed in. Sometimes spirits stay in one specific spot and sometimes they roam the whole building they're in. In one episode of TAPS a young boy followed the crew around everywhere they went on the premises to try to keep talking to them. Yes, some spirits stay in the exact room their life was takin but I think they can move around the building if they want. As for the crying thing I think that maybe you were the most "sensitive" person in your group and the spirits fed on that, and your energy...if that makes sense...
Posted 14 January 2009 - 01:00 PM
Hard to tell if you are out of your league, you can't disclose everything- hard for a public forum to make that call under those circumstances.

World Without AIDS: Update on HIV Cure and Vaccine Research
July 22, 2014
Progress So Far
With over 30 HIV antiretrovirals and 11 prevention strategies, we have been able to think aspirationally about getting to a world without HIV/AIDS. Achieving that goal is realistic, but still requires a lot of research. Anthony Fauci, M.D., director of U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), discussed the critical challenges that remain, including our mixed progress toward a cure or vaccine, while speaking at the 20th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2014) in Melbourne, Australia.
According to the 2014 UNAIDS Gap Report, we now have 35 million people living with HIV, with 2.1 million new HIV infections in 2013 (down 38% since 2001) and 1.5 million AIDS deaths in 2013 (down 35% since 2005). While incidence and mortality numbers have lowered significantly, they could be lowered completely with the discovery of an HIV cure.
A cure is defined as the "permanent remission of disease following cessation of treatment," according to Fauci. With infectious diseases, this has traditionally meant the eradication of the microbe; however, with certain diseases, such as cancers, it means the absence of relapse for life or a defined period of time. Regardless, in order to prove an HIV cure, we need to be able to identify biomarkers of the HIV reservoir, which is notoriously difficult to locate or measure.
Moreover, with HIV, we simply do not know how long the virus needs to be in remission after stopping antiretroviral therapy (ART) before we can confidently consider an HIV-positive person to be "cured."
The Role of the HIV Reservoir
To help us better understand the HIV reservoir, Fauci broke it down into two buckets: qualitative and quantitative aspects. Qualitatively, the reservoir can be categorized by "body compartment type," "cell type" and "status of virus."
Quantitatively, the amount of time between initial infection and beginning ART determines the baseline size of the HIV reservoir. In fact, the reservoir can form earlier than HIV viremia can even be detected. All of these factors confound how we look at the HIV reservoir, according to Fauci.
In addition, the reservoir is very persistent, in that even after years of treatment and viral suppression, the reservoir remains. It usually only takes a couple of weeks after discontinuation of ART for the virus to rebound.
Addressing the HIV Reservoir: Eradication
To deal with the reservoir, there are two possible ways that many researchers have been pursuing: eradicating the reservoir or controlling viral rebound with sustained virologic remission.
Eradication strategies include:
Beyond the Mississippi Child
Treating HIV as early as possible still seems to be one of the keys to eradication, as seen with the "Mississippi Child." Even though it was disappointing that the child's virus rebounded, the fact that the child appeared to remain virus-free for so long is still a promising development.
The case has also raised some critical questions, including: What mechanism kept the virus from rebounding for 27 months without treatment? What triggered the rebound? From what cell type and body compartment type did the virus rebound?
To try to answer these questions and others, IMPAACT Study P1115 will attempt to ethically recreate the "Mississippi Child" scenario, by identifying and treating HIV-positive infants within 48 hours after birth. According to Fauci, sustained virologic remission in babies could be translated to the same outcome in adults, as long as they share potential commonalities -- e.g., early initiation of ART, favorable quantitative and qualitative aspects of the HIV reservoir, and relative preservation of immune function.

Kaneka announces increase in CoQ10 prices
Jan 03, 2013, 08:00 ET
PASADENA, Texas, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to evolving market conditions, Kaneka North America has announced that it will increase its price on CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10 as ubiquinone) by 10% effective mid-January 2013. Kaneka cites causes for the price increase as escalating costs of raw material inputs, growing market demand and decreased global manufacturing capacity. This decreased capacity is due to the announced departure of Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Gas Chemical from the market in March 2013.
Richard Weis, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Kaneka states: "We have seen a decisive upward trend in the price of CoQ10 over the past 18 months. Although Kaneka regrets any increase in price to its customers, mounting stressors on margin and supply have necessitated that we follow the market up." Weis continues, "The impending Mitsubishi withdrawal from the CoQ10 market will shift 15 to 20 metric tons of annual volume to Kaneka and other suppliers."
After March of this year Kaneka will stand as the sole manufacturer of CoQ10 in the U.S. and Japan. Weis adds: "Kaneka will be significantly impacted by the departure of Mitsubishi as many customers require their material to be of U.S. or Japanese origin." Kaneka was the first company to commercialize natural CoQ10 as a drug for congestive heart failure nearly 40 years ago. Today, CoQ10 is one of the top-selling dietary supplements on the U.S. market.
Kaneka Nutrients is a division of Kaneka North America LLC and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kaneka Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, Japan.

Is Banning The Internet From Computer Criminals A Viable Punishment?
from the seems-increasingly-difficult dept
This isn't the first time this question has been raised, but with another case where someone has been banned from using the internet after being found guilty of a computer crime, is it reasonable (or even viable) to ban someone from using the internet? There's no denying that this guy did something wrong in hacking into his school's computers and taking the personal info (including social security numbers) of thousands of people. He should be punished for that. But, part of the punishment is a ban on using the internet except under approval and supervision -- and only for work and school. The reasoning makes sense. He used the internet to commit the crime, so stop him from being able to do that again. However, with the internet becoming a part of so much of our lives is it really reasonable? Will he not be allowed to buy a phone with a data connection? That's increasingly difficult these days. What about using a VoIP phone? Or signing up for an IPTV account as those become available? Lots of new consumer electronics and appliances are going to come with internet access as well. Will he not be able to use those? It just seems like the type of vague ban that sounds good in a courtroom but will be tough to enforce out in the real world.

Mr. Speaker, let me go directly to the substance of the matter and not comment the political allegations made about my predecessors or myself.
On the substance, I believe the issue is clear. A proposal to recognize a 12 candidate party would have been rejected by the Supreme Court. The problem would not have been solved.
My problem and our problem, as a democratic society, is not the fact that Mr. Figueroa made a complaint and that the matter was brought before the Supreme Court. The question that was raised is the substantial question as to how to define a political party in Canada.
The Supreme Court said very clearly that the number of candidates cannot be an objective or a factor in defining a political party. Whether one, two or 50 candidates are proposed, it is not the number of candidates that must be the determining factor in the existence of a political party.
As for the allegation made by my colleague about an agreement with Figueroa, I am sorry, but it seems to me that an agreement between an MP and a complainant in a court case has less weight than a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada.
Concerning the second allegation, I think a very clear distinction must be made between a political party and an independent candidate.
A political party under Bill C-3 would need to have 250 members that support registration of the party. It must have three officers in addition to the leader, in other words it cannot be a person alone. The party which is registering implies that the party accepts the burdens of reporting quarterly and annually which independent candidates do not have to face. The bill therefore makes a difference between independent candidates and a registered party. Once this is established, then in this case every individual concerned by the application of the bill will have to assume responsibility for the job they have to do.

Shyster wrote:Sarcastic wrote:5 million Palestinian refugees were created by the creation of Israel. People who were physically displaced from their homes. That figure is from our State Department.
Yes and no. A lot of the non-Jews who were living in the new Israel at the time of the declaration of independence in 1948 left their homes voluntarily and fled into the West Bank in order to "get out of the way" of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. A lot of them expected that the Jews would be swiftly annihilated by the combined Arab forces, at which point they could not only return to their homes, they could also take over the now-dead Jews' property. But to their surprise, the Jews won the war.
Also don't forget that after the 1948 war Jordan annexed the West Bank (which was supposed to be part of the "Palestinian" state) and ruled it until 1967. Many of those people who now claim to be "refugees" were in fact Jordanians for almost 20 years. Jordan actually stripped those people of Jordanian citizenship when it eventually relinquished its claims to the area years later.
In addition, often overlooked is the fact that almost a million Jews were essentially driven from their homes in Arab countries in the decades following the 1948 war. Arabs ticked off about losing to Israel swiftly turned on their local Jewish populations (many of which had been there for centuries), and a lot of Jews were forced to flee with little more than the clothes on their backs. There were refugees going both directions.

It's apartheid.....
Perhaps it is, but what options do the Jews have? Their first and foremost interest is not being killed. Saying they need to move to a democracy provides no assurances, as a democracy is perfectly capable of monstrous atrocities. A favorite quote of mine from British author Theodore Dalrymple comes to mind: "The first thing to remember is that freedom and democracy are not necessarily the same thing at all. A people may easily vote into power a government that wishes to massacre part of the population." Or as author Terry Goodkind said, "Gang rape, after all, is democracy in action." A democracy in greater Israel that incorporates everyone with equal voting rights would leave the Jewish residents in the minority. Does anyone think the Arab majority would not, at that point, pull up its sleeves, sharpen its knives, and cheerfully announce "It's payback time!"?
A good reference for what might happen is Into the Cannibal's Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa by Ilana Mercer, which I've reviewed over in the "current book" thread. Basically, when the whites in SA agreed to end apartheid and give blacks full voting rights, it became "payback time." And because all of the post-apartheid political parties aligned themselves on racial lines—certain parties being "black" parties and certain parties being "while" parties—the control of the government is not based on whose parties or leaders have the best ideas or propose the best policies. Instead, control is based on strict demographics: there are more blacks than whites, so the blacks rule. And because the dominant political parties are racially biased, their primary interest is benefiting their race at the expense of everyone else. Blacks not only rule, but they rule at the expense of the white minority.
One of the main lessons, I think, from Ms. Mercer's book is that a democracy (or even republic) can only work if government is based on ideas. There must be movement between political parties and political ideas. If government is based strictly on race, religion, tribe, or some other factor, it inevitably turns into a strict us-versus-them game. There's no way to convince someone in another party of the rightness of your own ideas or the wrongness of theirs if the only thing that matters is the color of your skin or the religion you practice.
Given the animosities between the people in the Middle East, I certainly can't see a open democracy in Israel working better than what happened in SA. In fact, I think it would be worse. Many of the Palestinian leaders have been crystal clear that their goal is not merely to share power with the Jews, but rather to exterminate them. Would you trust those same people to hold the reins of government over you? The Jews would find themselves both a political and a population minority, with no possible way of changing that state short of throwing away all of their birth control and trying to out-breed the Arabs.

Egypt's ruling party is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women protesting in Cairo's Tahrir Square against President Mohamed Morsi, activists said.
They also said the Muslim Brotherhood is paying gangs to beat up men who are taking part in the latest round of protests, which followed a decree by President Morsi to give himself sweeping new powers.
One protestor, Yasmine, told the newspaper how she had been in the square filming the demonstrations for a few hours when the crowd suddenly turned.
Before she knew what was happening, about 50 men had surrounded her and began grabbing her breasts. She said they ripped off her clothes, starting with her headscarf and for nearly an hour, indecently assaulted her with their hands.
A few men tried to help her but they were beaten away. Eventually some residents who had seen the attack from their windows came to her aid and an elderly couple pulled her into their home. She suffered internal injuries and was unable to walk for a week.

I wouldn't say the two groups are mutually exclusive. Many of the people agitating for a revolution were upset that the Egyptian government was too secular in nature a few years ago.
And let's not forget. The Brotherhood was democratically elected. There were some apologists that tried to describe them as moderate, democratic folk, but it was plainly obvious they weren't.

Wall hoods perform the double duty of keeping the air in your kitchen clean, while also helping protect the undersides of your kitchen cabinets from grease buildup and harmful steam. When mounted on the wall, an exhaust hood can be vented through the wall, expelling dirty air outside, though many users choose to simply set their oven hood to filter and recirculate the air. Whatever size wall hood you need, traditional or chimney hood, Abt carries hundreds of models to choose from, including top brands like Broan, Zephyr, & more.
Wall hoods come in a variety of sizes, to match ranges of all widths, and to fit into cabinet openings of heights & depths. For those without cabinets above their range, a chimney hood provides proper venting and a unique style element which is perfect for an exhaust hood. One can also decide to go more stylish with a downdraft vent. While you're here, read through some of our customer's range hood reviews and establish a better in-depth view of the many different models we offer - and visit us today for all of your Wall Hood needs.

Alex Rios: While teammates Adam Dunn and Jake Peavy were given the most attention as Comeback Player of the Year candidates, Rios had more to do with the White Sox leading the AL Central for most of the 2012 season. He hiked his batting average from .227 to a career-high .304 while delivering 25 homers and 23 stolen bases but was only 15th in MVP balloting.

This shirt has been sent to me from several people, including readers Melissa, Ariana and Ryan.
I was in disbelief when I first saw it. I still am, to a degree. How could this American Eagle shirt ever have been sold? How did it even get through quality assurance?
Take a look:
Love the one your with.
Allow me to repeat:
This one actually made me upset. Is this the direction in which we're trending? Should we expect to see more and more shirts like these in the future?
I hope not, but I wouldn't be surpised.
American Eagle, you really should have known better. I can't imagine how many mistakes were made at so many levels within the company for this shirt to have been put on shelves and sold.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Bolstered by its sixth-place finish at the Stu Nelson Trophy, the MIT women's sailing team inched up to No. 11 in this week's Sperry – Top Sider College Rankings. The coed squad, meanwhile, now stands at No. 19.
A member of the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association, the women's team is one of eight squads from the league to earn a national ranking. Fellow conference foes include: Yale (No. 1), Boston College (No. 2), Dartmouth (No. 3), Brown (No. 6), Roger Williams University (No. 10), Bowdoin College (No. 12), and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (No. 13). The Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association was represented by four squads, followed by two from the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association and one from the Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference.
MIT returns to the water this weekend, as it will host the Schell Trophy and compete in the Victorian Coffee Urn at Harvard.

Hi Everyone,
I usually run a virus scan every two weeks. But my subscription ran out for Norton Antivirus 2001. So for a few weeks I didn't have any virus checking software. Recently i installed fix-it utillities which has a virus scanner on it. I went ahead an ran the scan, and found BKDR_LATINUS.15. I told the program to delete, but it couldn't. So, I went online and looked up some info on google. This is the description Found:
This server program backdoor malware enables a remote user running its client program access to its infected computer. It drops a MSHTML.EXE file in the %WINDOWS% directory (%Windows% is usually the C:\Windows directory).
Then I found out how to remove it:
Click Start>Run, type Regedit then hit the Enter key.
In the left panel, double click the following:
In the right panel, look for and then delete this registry value:
Close the Registry.
Restart your system.
Scan your system with Trend Micro antivirus and delete all files detected as BKDR_LATINUS.15.
Problem being is that when i get to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows
there is no MS-HTML
the virus was found in Result:
Virus found: BKDR_LATINUS.15
In File: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\svrload.exe

Result: Failed. Virus removal failed for unspecified reasons.
The reason it failed is because as you can see a windows system program. and is running upon boot up. So if anyone has anyother info other than reformat and forget it, I would appreciate it. For those of you would dont respond, thank you for taking the time to read this.
For those of you who do respond. You are the best this world has to offer and should be treated as gods. heheheh
I would also like to thank you for any Grammer and Speling errors. lol
P.S. I also checked to see when the file was last modified. and it said 1/11/1990. I am using Win Me. It just dosn't sound right.

When AMD launched the QuadFX system it got Intel pondering the thought of a high-end desktop PC platform based on workstation-class chips. Intel responded just two months later and showed off the V8 test system with eight cores of processing power! Six months later Intel had two Xeon X5365 processors and the Intel S5000XVN workstation motherboard that made up the V8 system in our hands and the benchmarks showed Intel had nothing to worry about from QuadFX. Sadly, AMD ended the QuadFX program not even a year after it was launched, but that didn't stop Intel from releasing another V8 system with the code name – Skulltrail. Legit Reviews first spotted Skulltrail at the Intel Developer Forum last fall and found out that this board would support both ATI Crossfire and NVIDIA SLI video card technology, which is neat to say the least. It was originally said to support Triple-SLI and maybe even Quad-SLI since the motherboard supports four x16 PCI Express lanes, but that seems to have changed in recent months. In the days leading up to the launch of Skulltrail this statement was sent out by NVIDIA:
There are rumors that 3-way SLI on Skulltrail could be enabled with a driver from NVIDIA. Just wanted to inform you that Skulltrail motherboards use two NVIDIA nForce 100 SLI MCPs. The nForce 100 SLI chip allows a maximum of two GeForce graphics cards to work together, enabling SLI between two GeForce GPUs such as the GeForce 8800 GTX, and enables Quad SLI on dual-GPU graphics boards such as the GeForce 7950 GX2. The nForce 100 SLI MCP will NOT support 3-way SLI. This cannot change even with a driver/bios update.
Seems just two card SLI is available on Skulltrail, but that is great compared to not being able to run SLI at all. Without further ado, lets take a look at Skulltrail and get to it!
The Intel Skulltrail platform consists of the Intel D5400XS motherboard that supports two LGA771 based processors at 1066/1333/1600 bus speeds, for up to 8-core processing. The Skulltrail configuration that we are looking at today consists of a pair of Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors. The Intel D5400XS supports both Core 2 and Xeon LGA771 processors, so if you are worried about the budget alternate CPU's are available at various price points. The Intel D5400XS is basically a workstation board and as such uses the EATX format, so a larger chassis will be needed. The D5400XS uses up to four slots of FB-DIMM dual-channel memory at either DDR2 667MHz or 800MHz speeds. This might be the last time we see FB-DIMM's on the high-end enthusiast platforms as rumor has it that Intel might be going to DDR3 memory. Notice that the MCH is passive cooled, but the pair of NVIDIA nForce 100 chipsets and south bridge are actively cooled.
Other board features are what one would expect on a high-end enthusiast motherboard and include 4 PCI Express x16 (1.1) slots, 2 PCI slots, Intel High Definition Audio, Intel Matrix Storage Technology (RAID 0,1,5,10), Intel PRO 10/100/1000 LAN, 10 USB 2.0 ports, 8 SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports (including 2 eSATA), and a Parallel ATA (2 devices) connector. As mentioned previously the PCI Express lanes support both SLI and CrossFire technology. Since the NVIDIA nForce 100 chips are being used PCI Express 2.0 support is out the door, so PCI Express 1.1 will have to do.
Intel recommends a kilowatt or better PSU for a system with 4GB of memory, two GPUs, and two CPUs. If you want to run four GPUs and 8GB of memory, they recommend a PSU rated for over 1400W! Legit Reviews has a few PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1kW-SR power supplies laying around and was able to make do with one and had no problems with 4GB of memory and a pair of GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB video cards running SLI. Remember Intel D5400XS motherboard has dual eight-pin aux power connectors in addition to the 24-pin ATX connectors, so you'll need a power supply that has the right connections.
Before we move on we have to show the LGA771 socket and the unlocked Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors we will be using for testing. Clocked at 3.2GHz, these 45nm processors with dual 1600MHz front-side buses are sure to perform great. They are based on the LGA771 Xeon (Harpertown) architecture even though they have a feature list that is nearly identical to the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770. Intel informed us that this setup will offer a total of 25.6GB/s of bandwidth, so this is hands down the most powerfull system that we have ever looked at. The processors are also part of the reason for the high power supply requirements as these 3.2 GHz quad-core processors with dual 6MB chuncks of L2 cache have a TDP rating of 150W. This TDP is just a little bit higher than the 136W TDP of the QX9770, but otherwise, they are virtually equivalent processors. It will be interesting to see what cooling solutions enthusiasts come up with for this platform!

Yea, I was saying I'm pretty sure Andy and Tommy won't get a shot at Allstars.
Rebecca L.: How did it feel to win six legs and then come so close to the final leg and find out you were eliminated? Any regrets?Andy: Definitely no regrets. We felt blessed to win six legs. That was way more than we could have dreamed of. It felt great to make it 11 legs. We were so grateful.Tommy: Winning six legs was absolutely amazing. We got awesome prizes, trips and cash. Seeing places that we would not normally travel to was great. It was an awesome experience.Laura A.: What was your favorite challenge? And where was your favorite place you went to?Tommy: My favorite challenge was getting to drive the mustang. My favorite place was probably Thailand. Getting to navigate those islands and doing the coral challenge was cool.Andy: Thailand was definitely sensory overload. Africa was awesome as well. The dancing, the music
it was rich in culture. It made the race really special for me. The coral was probably my favorite challenge because it wasnt easy and we had to concur it.Robert H.: Did you guys think you were going to win it all after dominating so many previous legs if the race??Tommy: Our main goal was to make it to the finals and do our best. Our goal was to learn from our mistakes and make every leg better
Which we were just shy of.Andy: You never know in the Race. Weve seen strong teams get eliminated so many times. Anything can happen.Aaron Q: Out of the remaining teams who was your Favorite?Andy: we really enjoyed all the teams. We didnt have anyone that we disliked, but we really hit it off with Marcus and Amani. They are amazing and such a great example of what a marriage should be like.Tommy: They are great role models. They are so solid and such an inspiration.Irene M.: How has this race made a difference with your faith and friendship?Tommy: It has definitely grown our friendship. It is going to be a lifelong friendship. As far as our faith goes
this is reality. They put you in challenges and you have to get through em. That is the same way with life and you just have to realize that Jesus is there for you, you just have to let him in.Andy: Running this Race
God strengthened my Race. We would surrender each day to him and he would carry us through. In our weakest points we found strength in our faith. It was like someone tapped me on the shoulder when we were at the orphanage and told me to turn around.
Are they a definite pick for the next All-Stars? Since they got a confessional at the end and weren't part of the final three (Like Gary & Mallory from TAR17)?

Do you have the context for the phrase "come undone"? They have quite a lot of meaning.
Student or Learner
I'd like to know the meaning of this verb. I heard it in a song by Robbie Williams, where he says: I come undone....
Do you have the context for the phrase "come undone"? They have quite a lot of meaning.
When things go wrong, or the person falls apart, they come undone.
Could you give some examples of the different figurative meanings? Dictionaries are not very prolific on this one.
BTW, I don't think prolific works well in the preceding sentence. What would you replace it with?
Two questions in one
Come undone is to lose self-control, get disorganized, fall into piecesOriginally Posted by Francois
When she looks at me, I come undone. (= I am speechless, don't know what to say or how to say it....she makes me fall into pieces)
When my brother and sister start fighting I come undone and feel like strangling both of them! (= I lose self control, it drives me nuts).
I don't know of other meanings for "come undone".

Nico is better suited as an adviser than a leader.
The reason for that is Nico doesn't have charisma to bring people together like Honoka does. Remember she was way too demanding on her old idol team and they all left her.
Most of all, Honoka doesn't have an ego so she won't try to scheme her way to leadership.
Plus, she has amazing people skills which you need to have when things get rough. Honoka has the ability to convince the most jaded or reserved people to join her cause or hype them up when they're down.

I agree that Honaka is better as the leader in terms of being the "face" of the group, I was referring more towards the so-called operations side, which I think Nico would be good at.
It's hard for me to describe this, but I'm thinking of something similar to Luffy being the captain of the Straw Hats, but Nami is the one who's actually running the whole ship when they're travelling at sea.

We're not sure how Eri (Class President) would turn out until she's part of the crew, but as of right now; Umi would be the one to take control of the team when it comes to training and other things like that.
All you have to do is not bring it up otherwise she'll get all embarrassed about it. lol
To be honest, I have a feeling that Eri is gonna be the 2nd in command aka the navigator.

What we know so far is:
Honoka is the Leader /Umi the Lyricist
Maki-sama is the Composer /Kotori is the Choreographer/Tailor
Nico is the Idol Adviser /Rin is the Hype (man) Girl
Hanayo is the the Ultimate Idol Fan Girl
Eri - Class President and is "Haruka" amazing (Just look at that chart!)
Nozomi is a perverted shrine maiden, stalker, and groper of unripe fruits (I approve this message. )

One thing I've been mulling over, given the similarity of this show and Idolm@ster, is whether personalities other than the Haruka-archetype would make good leaders. What would it be like if we had the quiet, brooding type as the centre of the group?
In the case of Idolm@ster, I think Chihaya, Iori, and even Mami (notwithstanding her young age) could have made good leaders. The show would obviously have a different feel given their different personalities, but they would have their own styles of leadership that could still be effective.
In Love Live!, I can envision Niko having a similar leadership style to what Iori's would have been. We don't have much to work with at this point when it comes to Eri.

As show progresses i see less and less similarities with Idolm@ster. Yeah it is about upcomming idols but no Broducer and LL girls feel less over the top.
Besides I personally don't see anyone but Honoka being capable to be a leader. Sometimes group needs an instigater a kin to Chitanda. Naiv, fearless, riding on motivation and energy rather than what are results and what are the chances to make it.
I guess the only Honoka and Haruka overlap with their little ambition shout orders and force their visions on others while haing fun and getting along with everyone. FOr me Honoka came off as more solid character than Haruka.

Of course, the setting of Love Live! as a show about idols makes it somewhat strange to have that sort of leader. Even Takamina of AKB48 fame also exhibits many of these characteristics.
Idolm@ster would of course be very different if we replaced Haruka's energy with say Nagase Iori's will to win. And Love Live! would also have a very different tone if the focus was changed to Niko's know-how. There would probably be more exploration into the cut-throat and dog-eat-dog nature of the industry, as well as the need for manoeuvring into the spotlight by capturing media attention.
Then again, maybe Eri already fulfils some of these roles seeing how she has been pulling strings behind the scenes by uploading videos of their dances.

I get the Skins game on fox, I live in DC, no problem. But why are they showing the 4pm game instead of the 1pm game. I don't get NFL games exclusivity.
