By CHRIS HARRIS CJ Columnist
CNHI News Service
Sports are intrinsically amoral.
Not immoral, as in evil. Amoral, as in indifferent to right or wrong.
That is not to say that you can't do something immoral — something that flies in the face of conventionally accepted ideas of good and bad behavior — while playing sports. Look at Ndamukong Suh, the Detroit Lions defensive tackle who's expected to be suspended for a game or two for stomping, apparently on purpose, another player during a Thanksgiving game with the Green Bay Packers.
Most Kentucky basketball fans would recall Duke forward Christian Laettner's infamous stomp on UK's Aminu Timberlake during the 1992 NCAA College Basketball Tournament, and think he probably deserved a fate similar to Suh's.
But in and of themselves, there's nothing morally good or bad about throwing a ball, or kicking a ball, or hitting a puck with a stick, or anything of that nature.
There are only the rules of the game. Break the rules, and the game has a system built in to penalize you for it.
Step out of bounds, and you'll lose possession. Foul another player, and they'll shoot free throws. Leap from the line of scrimmage before the snap, and you'll go back five yards. Commit a recruiting infraction, and you'll be hit with NCAA sanctions (unless you play football in the SEC and your name isn't Kentucky, of course).
All that the game itself demands is that you follow the rules and attempt to execute the purpose of the sport — scoring points while preventing the opponent from doing likewise — as faithfully and genuinely as possible.
To score, or to defend, is neither moral nor immoral. It is simply what is expected of you once the game begins, until it ends.
Which is why the situation facing a Kentucky middle school is so patently absurd that it's frightening.
According to RivalsHigh, a prep-focused extension of the Rivals sports network, in an online article titled "100-2 middle school hoops blowout may have repercussions," the superintendent and school board of the Pikeville Independent School District are considering canceling the remainder of Pikeville Independent Middle School's boys basketball season.
The team did not hurt anyone. They did not cheat. They didn't make throat-slashing motions at the other team to taunt them.
All the Pikeville team did was play according to the rules of the game.
To be more precise, what Pikeville did was utterly destroy Kimper Elementary and Middle School in the Pike County Preseason Tournament in early November to the score of — and no, this is not a typo — 100-2.
Two points. That's all the other team scored.
Apparently, the school system has received criticism for Pikeville Middle running up the score.
It's a baseless criticism when logic is applied. The first purpose of the game to is to score, is it not? And the other purpose is to prevent the other team from scoring.
Nowhere in the rules of basketball does it say, "Score only so much that it doesn't seem gaudy," or "Let your opponent have an easy shot once in a while."
No, the rules are to score and defend. If you do anything else, you disrespect the game. When you hold back from scoring because you're point-shaving, you've bet on a game, that's disrespecting it. You should always play as hard as possible, as truly as possible, all the time.
So why would anybody act like Pikeville Middle did something wrong?
It's not Pikeville's fault that Kimper was so completely inferior that the score was 25 to nothing less than two minutes into the game, or that the score was 70-0 at halftime. That's Kimper's fault for allowing it to get to that point, for not playing as well as Pikeville did.
It's not Pikeville's fault for allowing the beating to get worse. Once the lead hit 25-0 only minutes into the game, Pikeville stopped pressing and the coach removed the starters. In the second half, the coach reportedly told his team to stop playing defense ... and Kimper could still only manage two measly points.
I might have a problem with Pikeville's coach telling his team to essentially drop one fundamental aspect of the game. I don't have a problem with the fact that it didn't help Kimper at all.
It's not the Pikeville team's fault that they should probably have never been playing Kimper in the first place. According to the RivalsHigh piece, Pikeville boasts "one of the nation's most talented squads of eighth-graders. ... (It) consists of the best members of the school's sixth- and seventh-grade teams from the past two seasons."
Kimper, meanwhile, has only 180 students and must cobble together players from what little potential talent exists at the remote Pike County school; the RivalsHigh article noted that there are players as young as 11 years old on the team.
So you can blame whomever it was that scheduled the tournament and created such a mismatch if you'd like.
But you can't blame Pikeville and Kimper for playing the game they were assigned to play, to the best of their abilities. Unfortunately for Kimper, Pikeville's abilities are apparently much greater than their own.
That's nobody's fault. Just a fact of the scoreboard.
Running up the score isn't a bad thing, it's fulfilling the obligations of the game. You can take out players and play a different style — which Pikeville did — but you should never stop competing just because you're objectively better than the other guy. That's unfair to yourselves, your opponent, and to the spirit of the game itself.
That's true at any age. It's true if you're 11. It's true if you're an NBA player in your 20s or 30s. Heck, it's true if you're in the Senior Citizen League. The value of competition shouldn't change at any level. If it does for you, then you have no business playing the sport, period.
The fallout of all this — the talk that the school system could cancel the season and deprive Pikeville Middle's young men from playing the sport they want to play — suggests that Pikeville did something wrong. That they shouldn't have played hard. Shouldn't have tried to score, or to defend. That somehow, the lit-up numbers on the scoreboard are indicative of good or poor sportsmanship.
The implications of this mindset are scary.
First of all, it assumes to change the nature of the game. If the worry is that the other team might get its feelings hurt — who cares? Sports are not about feelings. As the old movie line goes, "There's no crying in baseball." The same holds true for basketball, and football, and everything else. There's nothing in the rulebook about tailoring your playing style to the other team's emotional vulnerability. There's a reason we show games on ESPN, not Lifetime.
If you sign up to play a sport, whatever your age, you should accept everything that comes along with it. If you're not good enough, you take your lumps and accept it. You can use that as fuel to improve yourself, or accept the reality that someone was simply better than you at something. But it shouldn't matter if your feelings get hurt by the numbers on the scoreboard. Nobody cares. Nobody should care, anyway. Except for the players and coaches who want to get better.
Furthermore, to penalize Pikeville for succeeding — especially for succeeding in spectacular fashion — is to send the message that success isn't welcome. That you shouldn't strive to become awesome at what you do. That, at best, you should only be slightly better than the next guy. If the school board would cancel the season because Pikeville did so well, but would not have done so had they lost, that essentially says that failure is valued more highly than success. It's more moral to be bad at what you do than to be exceptional at it.
Imagine what that teaches our youth. Imagine this country's future if the next generation thinks that way.
We see this idea elsewhere in our culture. Look at the "Occupy" movement, which blames successful Wall Street types for somehow hurting the "little guy." The fact that anyone would agree with, or even sympathize with, the ideas that the "Occupy" people are putting forth shows that doing well for yourself is becoming dangerous. The complaint that 1 percent of the population controls the majority of the wealth in this country is the perfect example. That fact should make the other 99 percent want to become part of the 1 percent. Instead, say the "Occupy" folks, it's wrong that the 1 percent should have so much and everything should be more even.
Had humans not embraced the spoils of success, we'd all be living in trees and grass huts right now. It is only because we strive to achieve more, to be our best, that we've gotten where we are today, with iPads and airplanes and, you know, civilization.
Pikeville's school district leadership should be ashamed for even suggesting that the basketball team could be penalized for being so good. To suggest such a thing undercuts the concept of education itself, to better yourself and never stop trying to get better still.
What are we teaching our children? That success is worth pursuing, or to be afraid of offending someone who might not be as successful? If the answer is the latter, then we've failed our children — and our society itself.
You want to talk about right and wrong, good and bad? The only immoral behavior here is coming from Pikeville's superintendent and school board.

Have you ever been trying to make a decision and are torn between two different options? Do you make a logical choice or "go with your gut?" Researchers have actually discovered that when our "gut" tells us to do something, we should listen to it, because our brain and our gut are connected. Scientists call the gut the second brain, because the brain sends stress hormones to our gut to get our quick attention. We can lose our appetite, get a stomachache, become nauseous, be aware of a threat and more. Your gut is smart; pay attention to it.
There are many expressions that are linked to our guts. Here are just a few, see how many you regularly use. Gut instinct, gut reaction, gut check, have guts, intestinal fortitude, gut feeling, my gut is talking to me, bust a gut, it takes guts, and so on. My gut "talks" to me regularly, how about yours?
Newly Arrived
Gemma is happy in her new business as a private chef to six clients. Each of her clients has certain likes and dislikes and she accommodates them all, and for her, cooking is predictable. When her private life takes an unexpected turn, she realizes she has to face her past and move on, but it isn't necessarily as easy as following a recipe. You want to read "When in Doubt, Add Butter," a novel by Elizabeth Harbison.
Nola Cespedes is assigned her first full-length feature for an Atlanta newspaper in "Hell or High Water" by Joy Castro. During her investigation, she learns about a tourist missing in the French Quarter. She discovers that there is a violent criminal underworld which she knew nothing about. This thriller will have you following Nola's every move as she tries to uncover the puzzle.
"Bagpipes, Brides, and Homicides" is Kaitlyn Dunnett's latest Liss MacCrimmon Scottish mystery. Liss is planning a very simple wedding for her fiancé and herself, but her mother wants a much-more-elaborate affair. The wedding is planned for a weekend when there is a Highland Game festival planned. But when a college professor is killed by his own reproduction of a broadsword and her father is one of the suspects, Liss knows that she has to help solve the mystery if her father is going to walk her down the aisle.
Children's Books
"Create with Maisy" by Lucy Cousins is an arts-and-crafts book for young children with lots of projects. You can use common objects found around the house to make a variety of crafts. There are necklaces, butterflies, a pencil holder, vegetable characters, magic wax paintings and more. Lots of fun for everyone.
A young child spends a lot of time in the time-out corner and it's pretty boring there. Using some imagination, the child decides the corner needs sprucing up and imagines what it would be like to add a window with a view, a dinosaur or three, and maybe even a monster. Follow this child's imagination in Jean Reidy's "Time Out for Monsters." The ending is just the best.
There's lots to learn about apples and Margaret McNamara's "Apples A to Z" uses an alphabet book format to teach children all about the fruit. From the buds to the harvest and lots between, you'll be surprised at how all this information tidily fits into the ABC's. There are even some apple riddles to make you giggle.
Library Hours: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday; closed Sunday.

We gave this guy some grief a few weeks ago, when we thought he deserved it. [His colleague, Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-Fairport, wrote to defend him.] Today, well, the man's got a point. But we think we can improve on it.
- Carrying baggage - Buffalo News Editorial
Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn. [right], had it exactly right. If the airlines don't get right with the public on the extra costs of travel, the public will demand that Congress force the issue.
The issue begins with the baggage charges that airlines implemented three years ago as costs rose and the economy weakened, but it doesn't end there. Seat selection, early boarding, extra leg room, blankets, pillows, drinks and meals can all add significantly to the cost of air travel. The public should be able to evaluate those potential extra costs at the time of booking.
That's the primary issue, though Oberstar suggested that Congress might act to restrain what the airlines can charge. ...
the nonpartisan Congressional Government Accountability Office issued a report stating that airlines, travel agents, online travel services and other outlets should be required to disclose all such fees in a clear and consistent manner. ...
Airlines are under tremendous financial pressure from competition and a weak economy. It's in the public's interest to maintain healthy competition within the industry. Government should stay out of setting fees and simply require the industry to disclose them in a uniform, easily understandable way. That would do the trick.
And, just by the way, it now looks like the hold-up we were bagging on Oberstar about before is about to be resolved. With his help:
- Air safety bill near passage - Jerry Zremski/The Buffalo News
Key aviation safety improvements stemming from last year's crash of Continental Connection Flight 3407 in Clarence Center could win approval in Congress and be sent to President Obama within days, thanks to a legislative breakthrough Wednesday. ...
Rep. Jerry F. Costello, D-Ill., chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee ... and Rep. James L. Oberstar, D-Minn., chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, revealed their strategy shift in a meeting with about a dozen members of the Families of Continental Flight 3407.
Upon hearing that their long legislative fight appeared on the verge of victory, many family members wept.
-- George Pyle/The Buffalo News

Quarterback Tyler Bray is leaving Tennessee to enter the NFL draft, CBSSports.com reported Thursday night.
Reporter Bruce Feldman, citing an unnamed source, said Bray would forgo his senior year of eligibility under first-year coach Butch Jones. Bray could not be reached for comment, and did not confirm or deny the report on Twitter.
Jones confirmed Wednesday that junior receiver Cordarrelle Patterson would leave early for the NFL. He did not offer an update on Bray's status.
"We've had conversations (with Bray)," Jones said. "In a very short period of time, it's hard for them, because they really don't know me. But you try to be as upfront and honest as possible. ... We'll support them in whatever choice they make."
Bray would leave Tennessee in fourth place all-time in passing touchdowns (69) and passing yards (7,444) and fifth in pass completions (540). He is immediately behind Erik Ainge in all three categories.
Although the Vols finished with a losing record, Bray put up big numbers in his final year. He completed 268 of 451 passes for 3,612 yards, an average of 301 per game. He threw 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Bray replaced Matt Simms and started five games as a true freshman in 2010, a promising debut that earned him the starting role a year later. But he was sidelined for five games early in 2011 after breaking his thumb.
Bray's goal was to be healthy in 2012, and he succeeded, benefiting from a much-improved offensive line that helped him to lead one of the most prolific Tennessee offenses ever.
Bray declined to answer most questions about his future during the final week of the season, although he did say at one point that the choices made by Patterson and Justin Hunter would influence his decision.
Hunter, the Vols' leading receiver in 2012, declared his intention to enter the NFL draft on Monday. Patterson's decision, confirmed by Jones but not formally announced, would leave few if any experienced receivers on Tennessee's roster.
Draft projections vary for Bray, who has a strong arm and a 6-foot-6 frame but likely needs seasoning before being asked to start in the NFL. Most recently, NFL analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said he could see Bray going in the second or third round.
Even as he was putting up big numbers in 2012, Bray could still be inconsistent, and coach Derek Dooley even threatened to bench him at one point this year.
Bray answered the challenge with one of the best stretches of his career, amassing 1,302 yards, 13 touchdowns and just one interception in a three-game stretch against South Carolina, Troy and Missouri. But a week later against Vanderbilt, he was benched after a listless performance in the Vols' 41-18 loss.
Bray ended his career with a victory over Kentucky with his coordinator, Jim Chaney, serving as interim head coach. Bray's family had come from California to watch the game.
"I thought we would be going to a bowl, but things didn't go that way this year," Bray said. "We got a win at the end, so that's all that matters."
Without Bray, the Vols would enter spring practice with only two scholarship quarterbacks — rising junior Justin Worley and Nathan Peterman, who redshirted as a freshman in 2012. Riley Ferguson of Matthews, N.C., is verbally committed to the Vols and is expected to sign in February and join the team in the summer.
Worley played only sparingly this year after being pressed into action as a true freshman in 2011. He completed 8 of 11 passes for 51 yards and one interception in relief of Bray at Vanderbilt.

New to the forum...have always admired Polk Audio, though.
I have a couple of the original db12 subwoofers gathering dust in my garage that I was considering running again. I used them for a short while until I bought a new truck, in which they wouldn't comfortably fit.
Frankly, I'm dizzied by all the new and considerable choices in the sub market today, and truly question how much better any of the new subs truly sound over my Polk db12's of yesteryear. I frankly don't want to spend massive amounts of money again, when my db12's are in good condition and I was always please with their low frequency extension.
Anyhow, does anybody know what the TS parameters are on these drivers? I have the original boxes but I've since lost track of what size enclosures these are intended for. All I remember is that they were for small boxes, ~.8 cu/ft. Would like to look into boxing them up again. I've surfed the website and cannot locate a manual on these subs. Anybody that has access to the original specs that can send it my way, I'd be much obliged.

The website can be accessed here: www.respondiendo.ning.com
The website invites Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to exchange information through PDF materials, blogs, forums, photographs, video or audio with the aim of providing an information bank addressing some of the challenges around different implementation methods in Mexico.
Colectivo Sol explains how the network should work: "An organisation might publish an example of how it has used the peer to peer education strategy; another organisation might be interested in making contact, and the two organisations might then share more detailed information enabling the adaptation of the strategy to new contexts or localities."
This initiative was part of the project 'Responding to the Weaknesses and Failures in Program Delivery of Mexican Civil Society Organizations in their HIV/AIDS Preventive Work with Gay Men, MSM and the Trans Population in Mexico', which was implemented in 2011 with the support of AIDSTAR-Two Project (funded by USAID), the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, and Censida.
Through this project, Colectivo Sol worked with 70 CSOs to better understand and document the challenges faced by these organizations in the HIV prevention work they carry out.
A case study conducted by Colectivo Sol brought together and described the nine prevention strategies that were most popular among Mexican CSOs: Outreach, Voluntary Counseling and HIV Testing, Peer to Peer Education, Capacity and Skills Building, Information, Education and Communication (IEC), Social Marketing of Condoms and Lubricants, Community Mobilization and Harm Reduction, Advocacy and Reduction of Stigma and Discrimination.
Addressing the need to develop more formal approaches to the effective implementation of prevention strategies, Colectivo Sol prepared a "Compendium of the Most Utilized Prevention Strategies employed by Mexican CSOs working on HIV/AIDS and Sexual Diversity", to offer easily usable and practical guidelines to help Mexican CSOs working on HIV prevention to describe, organise, implement, monitor, evaluate and document the implementation of the prevention strategies that they use most frequently.
Read the report: 'Creating Consensus and Implementing a Unified Prevention Strategy for Men Who Have Sex with Men in Mexico'.

Analyzing Stuxnet with Siemens
Two security experts at the 2011 Siemens Automation Summit talked about lessons learned during the Stuxnet affair.
They walked into the Lion's Den and came out unscathed. Two security experts went into the 2011 Siemens Automation Summit and talked about lessons learned during the Stuxnet affair.
Joel Langill, chief security officer at SCADAHacker, and Eric Byres, chief technology officer at Byres Security, gave a talk Tuesday at the 2011 Siemens Automation Summit entitled "How Stuxnet spreads: A study of infection paths in best practice systems."
"Stuxnet was a well engineered worm," Byres said. "This attack could have happened to any one of the vendors. It just happened the Iranian nuclear site was running Siemens products. Siemens was the bystander shot in the middle of the gunfire."
As a result of his highly complex and impressive piece of software, security professionals will be studying Stuxnet for years to come.
"Stuxnet is dead and gone," Byres said. "Why study Stuxnet? Because the bad guys learned a lot from Stuxnet and we have to do the same. How do I protect a client from the son of Stuxnet?"
When you really look at it, the worm was very clean software. "It was amazingly well written software, Byres said. "It was a better grade of software than what is installed in most commercial systems."
The big news when the world first became aware of Stuxnet was people believed the worm entered control systems via a USB key. While that may have happened, it doesn't seem right that users would ban the use of USB drives. They do serve a quality purpose.
"Don't think of this as a USB problem," Langill said. "It was a removable media problem." One of the things you have to remember, Langill said, is this was not an Internet-based attack. Instead, this all happened on the local area network.
The worm did infect some 100,000 computers and infected at least 22 manufacturing sites, which Byres actually believes was more around the 50 number.
One of the shocking thoughts about Stuxnet was the worm was able to penetrate and damage a nuclear site, which has some of the toughest security in any industry. What happens, Byres asked, when another worm comes around and takes over a less secure environment?
The odd part of the entire attack was Siemens does have a solid layered security architecture in the systems targeted for attack.
As mentioned the attack could have happened on a USB stick, however it could also have come as a result of infected project files, transmitted in an email, an infected laptop among other possibilities.
"If someone wants to put a virus on your site, they will be able to," Byres said. "It depends on what you do with that afterward is what is important. There was so many ways it could spread."
Some of the things the industry learned from Stuxnet was modern industrial control systems or SCADA systems are highly complex and interconnected; there are multiple pathways; you have to assume an air gap is unrealistic; focusing security on specific obvious pathways is not a good idea, and users have to complete a simple overall holistic view of the system, Byres said.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

KERNERSVILLE — The name may have changed but the course is the same.
Ivey Redmon Sports Complex, nee Beeson Park, remains much the same personal playground for cross country runners as it's always been, a place where Chapel Hill, East Chapel Hill and Carrboro high schools have each won state championships in the past.
Last Saturday, Maysa Araba of Carrboro became the latest runner to put her name in the book of champions with an individual victory in the 2A championship meet of the N.C. High School Athletics Association.
Araba's time (18:03.66) on the 5-kilometer course was one of the fastest ever recorded by a female in Kernersville. She pulled away from runner-up Brittany Stanley of Mount Pleasant during the last 800 meters and was 17 seconds ahead at the finish line.
Carrboro junior Helen Morken (18:45.89) took sixth place and joined Araba in earning elite "silver" status among the national leaders.
Carrboro's string of team state championships was snapped by a strong performance by East Lincoln, which won the tight team race with 70 points. Carrboro, with all five scorers finishing in the top 25, ended with 73 points and tied for second with Croatan.
Carrboro's Amanda Hickey (20:25.08) was 22nd; Amelia Covington (20:56.14) 33rd; Natalie Richardson (20:59.87) 34th; Kara Stonecypher (21:30.71) 46th; and Claire Scanga (21:38.05) was 53rd.
Other area teams also did well, with Carrboro's former conference rival N.C. Science & Math winning the 2A boys' championship with 59 points. Franklin (76) was second. Carrboro (93) was third, with Tomiwa Olufolabi taking 10th individually and James Jushchuk 11th.
In the 3A races, Chapel Hill, led by Collin Vilen's 15:43.55 for fourth place, finished in fourth as a team. Jared Buddington (16:03.04) finished eighth to lead Cedar Ridge into fifth place.
Both Vilen and Buddington earned all-state honors for their top-10 finishes, as did Carrboro's Araba and Morken and East Chapel Hill's Ryan Brady.
Chapel Hill's Jeffrey Williams (16:31.90), Drew Roeber (16:40.62) and Max Blackburn (16:41.40) finished in a pack, 10 seconds apart and all within the race's top 50 finishers.

Mayor Buckhorn Announces Economic Competitiveness Committee -- Group tapped to help streamline permitting and regulatory processes
Tampa, FL
June 20, 2011
- Mayor Bob Buckhorn has announced the formation of the Economic Competitiveness Committee.
The 18 member group
will be tasked with reviewing the City of Tampa's permitting and regulatory processes to look for ways to improve the system. Buckhorn chose members that are actual customers, including developers, engineers, attorneys, and a neighborhood representative, that have utilized the City's services. This allows members to draw on their personal experiences in trying to find ways to make procedures more efficient.
The goal in forming the committee is to create an even greater competitive edge for Tampa when vying for new business. Members will meet with the mayor and staff to provide feedback and input that can be implemented to help make processes more efficient. Additionally, easier processes with expedited plans, permits, and regulations will help attract economic activity and accelerate growth in Tampa. "Now more than ever we need to make sure that Tampa is known as a place that is open for business," said Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "This is the beginning, not the end of an ongoing process."
"We are going to look at the things that challenge growth and economic development and recommend changes that will directly result in job growth, but still maintain our quality of life in Tampa," said Mark House, Managing Partner of Beck, who was tapped as one of the members of committee.

According to exit polls in South Carolina, more than half of the people who voted in the Republican primary describe themselves as born-again or evangelical Christians. Most of those voters said that it is very important to them that a candidate share their beliefs. Most of them voted for Newt Gingrich.
These polling data are strange. To begin with, the only Protestant still running for the Republican nomination is Ron Paul, who is a Southern Baptist. Gingrich is a recent convert to Roman Catholicism. Santorum is also a Catholic. Romney is a Mormon. So, if South Carolina voters who describe themselves as born-again or evangelical want a candidate who shares their beliefs, Ron Paul would have been the better choice. A few of them, apparently, made that choice, but most did not.
Of course, the more glaring problem is Gingrich's personal life. I won't rehash it, as it is well known by now. I do not understand how evangelicals in the Republican Party can overlook Gingrich's indiscretions. The reason that I do not understand it is that evangelicals, as a general group, were out for blood when Clinton's affair with an intern came to light. They wanted him impeached and found guilty and ousted.
Here's the thing. Everyone who was willing to overlook Clinton's bad behavior has no business maligning Gingrich. Likewise, everyone who wanted Clinton's head on a platter has no business excusing Gringrich's behavior and supporting him in the nomination process. It is called hypocrisy and a lack of integrity.
I am speaking in generalities, which has its drawbacks. Obviously each individual is responsible for his own actions. I myself was against Clinton for his disgraceful conduct; therefore, I am against Gingrich. My moral sensibilities do not change just because a candidate has a different party's initial after his name. In fact, a case could be made that Clinton is an overall morally superior person to Gingrich, since he has stayed married to his first wife and apparently–one can hope–has learned to be faithful to her.
It is probably unfair for nonchristians to judge Christians as a group; it is always unfair to judge individuals for the behavior of a group. However, unbelievers will judge Christians, and the judgment will not be favorable. As a group, the so-called Christian right acts hypocritically, excusing the sins of Republicans and hammering on the sins of Democrats. (Of course, the same thing happens in the converse, but let's not go there.)
Here's the bigger problem. Nominee Gingrich will carry a lot of baggage. Faithful family man, Barack Obama, will be his opponent. Not only will Gingrich's moral failings come into play, but so will the ethics charges that were brought against him in the House of Representatives. He might be well qualified to be President, and I believe he is, but his dirty laundry will be a huge liability.
It makes no difference to me who the Republicans nominate. However, if they are smart and–more so–if they want to live up to their stated principles, Republicans who are evangelical will not help to nominate Gingrich, and they will not vote for him if he does get the nomination.

There are many answers to this question, depending on the circumstances. One scenario could be that perhaps you weren't minimally qualified for the positions, in which case the return application email would have said that your application was not among those that would be considered further. Another scenario could be that you were not selected for an interview because others had more related experience ý in which case you can view that information by checking the status of the position.
