Thesis/Project GuidelinesThe master's thesis and project are similar in that they both demonstrate that graduate students have the ability to learn new things and to communicate their findings in a coherent well-executed project.
• Both the thesis and project are "capstone: experiences, meaning they should draw on and integrate the knowledge that students gained while working towards an advanced degree.
• Both the thesis and project culminate in a public presentation.
Research Project
The primary way that a project is different from a thesis is in how students demonstrate their knowledge.
• A project demonstrates "applied" knowledge and learning with the final product being the goal.
• Students demonstrate their knowledge by creating something new such as a documentary, photo exhibit, magazine or newspaper prototype for a niche audience, series of articles, or a new methodology or approach to address a valuable question such as how to market a nonprofit organization in a new media climate.
• Students must showcase their project in a presentation that explains the design and implementation of their project and the project's usefulness.
• Students must also complete and turn in a report that summarizes the project (describes the problem, presents solutions, illustrates the project's usage and importance).
• Students must demonstrate that they employed classroom experiences to complete the applied project.
• A thesis demonstrates a student's knowledge in research, investigation, design, deduction, reason, and the completion projects.
• Graduate students are expected to build on the literature and to contribute original knowledge to the field of journalism, PR and mass communication. As such, the final product must be publishable.
• A thesis is presented in two parts. The first is a presentation is a thesis proposal, which includes an abstract, introduction, review of the literature, research questions and/or hypotheses, and research methods.
• Students must demonstrate that they have sufficient background preparation to address their topic.
• The second thesis presentation is the defense, which demonstrates that a student has mastered his or her subject area. Students present each section of the thesis, findings and conclusions.
• Thesis committees must have at least three members: a graduate faculty member from inside the Journalism, PR & New Media Department, a faculty member from outside the department and an advisor who is a JPR&NM graduate faculty member. Committee members offer feedback following the proposal presentation and help guide the student in his or her research.

Missouri Mountain Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Route Climbed: Missouri Gulch Date Climbed: Novemember 20, 1999
|Late in the season this year but not a bad climb. Started out cold and sunny then hit a white out at the summit. Stayed foggy and a bit snowy the rest of the way down.
|Posted Jun 17, 2002 2:27 pm
|Matt Mahoney
|Route Climbed: West ridge Date Climbed: Aug 17 2001
|5th summit of Nolan's 14. I waited for Hans at Closhey Lake but he had a little pulmonary edema during the climb and it was slow going to the summit, about 3PM of day 2. We descended a class 3 scree slope straight from the summit into Missouri Gulch, where Hans dropped out (and recovered). His wife was waiting with a nice meal for both of us. I was on my own to Belford.
|Posted May 17, 2002 5:01 pm
|Route Climbed: One of the Eastern Couloirs of the North Couloirs Date Climbed: 6.18.00
|WOW - Picked a fine group of folks to follow up my first fourteener!
Half of our party took the standard route while the other half decided to try something a little more challenging. Me and my testosterone opted to do something "challenging". In hindsight, I think it was a bad call. After putting on a pair of crampons for the first time ever, and a crash course in self arrest with a mountain axe, we headed up the snowfield. It got quite steep in the upper portions. And there was even some mixed climbing round out my experience. I was scared and unprepaired, BUT I had a killer time & a viscious seed was planted that day!
|Posted Jan 30, 2002 12:29 pm
|Route Climbed: Standard route Date Climbed: Aug. 2001
|Combine w/Belford & Oxford, makes a great back packing/climbing weekend.

|Route Climbed: from the west Date Climbed: august 17 th and 18th
|summated huron around 9:00 at nightfall and descended from their to clousey lake just below treeline on missouri's western slopes, from there climbed up and unto missouri's eastern summit ridge. my flashlight went out but it was a clear night, no moon, but enough light to make out the trail along the summit ridge.
about 100 yards or so from the summit I came to a place where it was to steep to negotiate on either side without a light as I couldn't make out the route in the darkness.
curled up and attempted to sleep for an hour or so but it was very cold and windy, when it began to get light and there was enough light to continue on I went on and summated. Descended to the east towards belford from there.
Praise GOD and JESUS CHIST, LORD Of ALL!!!!!!!
|Posted Jan 3, 2002 4:48 pm
|Route Climbed: West Ridge from Cloyses Lake Trailhead Date Climbed: 9/97
|Quite steep climb from this side...very hard on the knees, this coming down!

But kim your talking about Mills winning this team a championship?
what? thats crazy talk.
you should know better that not just one player wins a championship, but all it takes is one to bring you down.

Many positives is right. But I've come to the conclusion that I could not draw a better picture of what contenders will do to Mills, than what the Heat did at the end of the 4th. If you don't see it, you just don't want to. Even if he is likeable, he will not win the Blazers a championship.

died c. 328, Nicomedia; Western feast day August 18; Eastern feast day [with Constantine] May 21
Roman empress who was the reputed discoverer of Christ's cross.
Helena was married to the Roman emperor Constantius I Chlorus, who renounced her for political reasons. When her son Constantine I the Great became emperor at York (306), he made her empress dowager, and under his influence she later became a Christian. She was devoted to her eldest grandson, Crispus Caesar, whom Constantine made titular ruler of Gaul, but a mysterious embroilment in the imperial family culminated with the execution of Crispus and Fausta, Constantine's second wife and Crispus's stepmother. Thereafter, the story became current that Fausta had accused Crispus of attempting to seduce herhence Crispus's execution (326). Fausta, in turn, was denounced by the grief-stricken Helena and was executed shortly afterward. Immediately after the double tragedy Helena made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. She caused churches to be built on the reputed sites of the Nativity and of the Ascension.
Before 337 it was claimed in Jerusalem that Christ's cross had been found during the building of Constantine's church on Golgotha. Later in the century Helena was credited with the discovery. Many subsequent legends developed, and the story of the invention, or the finding of the cross, enhanced by romances and confusions with other Helens, became a favourite throughout Christendom. The story was told again in Cynewulf's 9th-century poem Elene.

Co-production practitioners network
A network for co-production practitioners
13 members
I'm thinking about the merit of developing a higher/ further education module focused on CP that could be offered to a diverse range of people (practitioners, service users, carers, public, politicians et al) to help embed CP as a basic requirement of professional, democratic and public practice; delivered by a diverse group of people with the insight, expertise and integrity to inspire take up of CP as a mainstream practice accessible to all.
I'm keen not to create barriers…Continue

Hello Dear,
How is everything with you,I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately.I have something very vital to disclose to you,but I found it difficult to express myself here,since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on(email@example.com)for the full details.
Have a nice day.
Pauline Atta.
hello and welcome to the co-production practitioners network Ian, thanks for joining us!
The practitioners network is supported by nef but all content is developed by members, for members. Do have a good look around and get involved.
Some of the following areas are good starting points;
Network groups – based loosely around geographical regions or interest themes, they also host face to face meetings. There are a couple of groups that might be of interest - one for cambridgeshire which i guess is on your doorstep and one for the east midlands.If they don't suit your needs feel free to establish a new group.
Resources and Videos will give you access to the latest documents supporting co-production and bring you face to face with those putting it into practice. Please add your own materials to increase the knowledge base.
The Blog carries the latest news, debate and opportunities for co-production practitioners. See what's going on, add in your own comments or start a new thread. There's a cluster of people who meet fairly regularly in Birmingham so do keep an eye on the blog for the next of these events.
nef is currently working on topics raised by network members: gathering the evidence base for co-production; developing practical approaches to commission co-production; delivering presentations and workshops for people who are interested in co-production. Get in touch if you want to know more or contribute.
It would really help to know how you heard about the network and what motivated you to join. Please let me know at email@example.com that way we can make sure we're reaching as many co-production practitioners as possible. Also, please share the details of the network with colleagues or contacts you think would be interested.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Head of Co-production, nef

New credit cards make travel harder
Thanks to a smart-card technology widely in use abroad, American tourists may encounter difficulties paying with their magnetic-strip cards. Here's how to avoid problems.
U.S. travelers abroad are between a chip and a hard place.
Other countries have so thoroughly embraced a more secure credit card technology called "chip and PIN" that tourists have found their American-style plastic doesn't work at some places overseas. The problem is particularly acute at automated kiosks, but travelers also can run into merchants who won't accept their cards.
Retired teacher John Morris of Denver encountered the problem in September after arriving at Charles de Gaulle Airport outside Paris. A train ticket into the city cost less than 10 euros, but the automated kiosk required exact change or a credit card with chip-and-PIN technology -- neither of which Morris had. There was a ticket booth with a human teller where Morris could have used his American Express card, but it was swarmed with other travelers.
"I asked some people near the front of the line how long they'd been waiting, and they said two hours," recalled Morris, 70. "I couldn't find anywhere that would make change. Even Air France, my airline, refused to change a 20-euro note."
Morris -- frustrated, angry and hot, because the station was sweltering -- wound up taking a taxi into Paris, a trip that cost 60 euros, or about $80.
It's not that your credit cards are useless overseas. Most merchants and travel providers in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Canada -- the areas that have adopted the smart-card technology -- still accept U.S. credit cards, says Odysseas Papadimitriou, who travels to Europe a few times a year and is the chief executive of credit card comparison site Card Hub.
Liz Weston
But U.S. cards, which rely on older magnetic-strip technology, simply won't work in machines that require users to punch in a personal identification number, or PIN, that's matched against a computer chip embedded in the card. U.S. debit cards won't work in these machines either, because they lack the all-important chip.
You could find yourself:
- Trapped in a parking lot that relies on automated kiosks to exit.
- Unable to buy gas at a pay-at-the-pump station.
- Prevented from buying bus, subway or rail tickets.
- Stopped at toll booths that require chip-and-PIN cards.
Some travelers report they've also encountered problems with clerks who don't know how to process a swipe-card transaction or merchants who refuse to accept U.S. cards, believing they're less secure. Such problems seem to be more common as time passes and fewer people are familiar with the older technology, especially in Europe, said Dan Ray, the editor-in-chief of CreditCards.com.
"The odds are greater now that you'll have some trouble," Ray said. "Europeans are less likely to have the machinery or the people who are eager to process your card."
Your debit card will work in overseas ATMs, but you may want to shorten your PIN if it's longer than four digits. Many foreign ATMs don't accept longer PINs. Also, foreign ATM keypads often don't have letters. If the only way you remember your PIN is by typing in a word into the keypad (say your password is 9-6-7-3, but you remember it by typing in the corresponding letters W-O-R-D), you should memorize the digits before you go.
True chip-and-PIN cards are hard to find in the U.S., credit card experts note. Diners Club is replacing its customers' cards with chip-and-PIN versions, Papadimitriou said, and Wells Fargo is testing a version. (Don't count on getting one, even if you're a Wells Fargo customer. When I called the bank recently to request one, the phone rep had no idea what I was talking about. After talking to a supervisor, he said I wasn't eligible.)
A company called Travelex offers the Cash Passport card, a prepaid debit card with chip-and-PIN technology -- but the card offers a much less favorable exchange rate than what travelers can typically get with their credit cards.
Some other issuers, notably Chase and U.S. Bank, offer cards with so-called chip-and-signature technology. These cards work with the terminals that most merchants use to process chip-and-PIN transactions, but they won't work with automated kiosks, which require PINs.
"With chip-and-signature cards, fraud protection is done primarily online, meaning purchase authorization entails cross-checking fraudulent card numbers via the phone lines," Papadimitriou said. "However, unmanned kiosks at train stations, airports (and elsewhere) rely primarily on offline verification, which necessitates having a PIN that corresponds to an embedded card chip. Therefore, a chip-and-PIN card will be needed unless you can find an attendant to help you with the transaction."
Chip-and-signature cards from Chase include the British Airways Visa, the Hyatt Credit Card, JP Morgan Select Credit Card and the JP Morgan Palladium Card. U.S. Bank offers the chip-and-signature FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature, which also has "contactless" technology that allows it to be waved in front of special terminals instead of swiped.
"By all accounts, certain banks have opted to go with them instead of chip-and-PIN cards because the barriers to entry aren't as significant," Papadimitriou said, noting that the issuers don't have the expense of establishing a PIN management system. "And they still get a fancy new feature to market."
Michael Dolen, the founder of website CreditCardForum, said issuers shouldn't ignore U.S. consumers' calls for true chip-and-PIN cards. Although they may be a small minority, those who travel abroad tend to spend a lot, making them more valuable customers, he said.
Until chip-and-PIN cards are more widely available in the U.S., credit card experts recommend that travelers take the following precautions:
- Have at least some local currency with you at all times.
- Keep your passport with you for at least the first few days to see whether local merchants demand it as an extra precaution. Papadimitriou said he was asked for his passport several times by merchants in London.
- Consider buying train tickets in advance from the U.S. or making your transportation purchases during weekday business hours, when human beings are more likely to be available to help with your transactions.
Morris, the traveler who took the expensive cab ride, said American Express refunded the cost of the taxi after he complained about his inability to use the card. That was nice, he said, but even better was getting his replacement Diners Club card in January with chip-and-PIN technology.
"When I travel (abroad) now," he said, "at least I won't run into the same problem."

2 dead in murder-suicide in Cochise County
WILLCOX -- Authorities say a man fatally shot his father and then turned the gun on himself in a murder-suicide in southern Arizona.
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office says the 36-year-old man came to his father's home about 15 miles south of Willcox around midday Saturday to pick up belongings and shot his 62-year-old father several times as he sat at a desk.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Carol Capas says Investigators haven't yet established a definitive motive for the shooting.
The 36-year-old man's stepmother fled from the home, called authorities and wasn't injured in the shooting.
Authorities say they the son was later located inside the home with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The names of the men who died in the shooting haven't yet been released.

The purpose of this study was to analyze -- both theoretically and empirically -- the effects of various models of inflation expectations formation on aggregate supply relationships, and the small scale macroeconomic models of which they form an integral component, from the point of view of information availability, modelling, and estimation. One model of inflation expectations formation in particular, rational expectations, has important implications for macroeconomic modelling and, more specifically, the tradeoff between inflation and real output.
The basic theory of rational expectations is reviewed and various problems with its empirical implementation are discussed. The properties of alternative models of expectations formation are compared. Furthermore, some direct evidence on the nature of expectations formation in active auction markets for financial instruments is presented.
Expectations by their very nature are unobservable and thus one confronts a joint hypothesis problem in the interpretation of any results using a proxy specification. To circumvent this difficulty, Monte Carlo simulation experiments with a representative small macroeconomic model are undertaken. This allows a comparison between rational and other models of expectations formation under varying -- but known -- model conditions.
Inherent in most models of expectations, and particularly for rational expectations, is the assumption that market participants possess a considerable degree of foresight with respect to information market structure, and parameter values. As an alternative, a time dependent approach to modelling with a minimum of information priors is developed and applications to real income, expected inflation and the demand for money are discussed.

Blog Post: Competitive Link Analysis: Link Intersect in Excel
Awesome job Mihai! This is uncanny timing. I have been working on a similar solution in Excel for the past few days as I love Moz's Competitive Link Finder but as you mentioned the tool isn't working right now. I'm glad that Moz are going to keep this, I really feel it's undervalued.
I tackled the problem a little differently and started out with Ahrefs data, but then of course you have to pull OSE metrics so I am now working with OSE data. I copied each domain's worksheet into one workbook and then used a pivot chart to consolidate the multiple data ranges. A sprinkle of COUNTIF and a little filtering and voila! I was thinking of writing a blog post about it but your solution is much more robust :)
Your Excel-Fu is strong!

Facebook Launches Graph Search For Delving Even Deeper Into Friends' Interests
Furthering its mission to help people connect online, Facebook today unleashed a new tool that it's calling Graph Search, designed to help you launch increasingly specific searchs via the social network — IE, "Bands my friends like," "Friends who like running," or, most interestingly, "Bands my friends who like [insert political figure here] like." Yup, you now have the ability to judge your pals more harshly than ever before — just kidding!
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the still-in-beta feature (you can sign up here) at an event today in Menlo Park, California, stressing that the function can be used to search for anything on Facebook: photos from certain eras of particular people, venues, friends who live in certain cities, etc. It works for friends as well as friends of friends, and any results that can't be found on Facebook will be routed to Bing (privacy rules still apply — you can only search for info that's public or shared with you). The function will start rolling out slowly today to U.S. users.
While we can see this being a great utility for the average user, it could be an interesting tool for those in the music scene as well. Imagine being able to search "Friends who like The National in New York City" and instantly getting a list of folks who might be interested in joining you at their next show. Or, if you're a band who has friended tons of fans on Facebook, you could use that utility to plan your next tour.
How would you use Facebook's new Graph Search?

The initial sets of conditions that have evolved from developing a method are improved or maximized in terms of predefined criteria, such as detection limits, limits of quantitation, accuracy, and precision. A method that provides all or most of the original method requirements is deemed optimized and becomes ready for validation. It requires an iterative procedure, constant replication, and the acquisition of a large amount of quantitative statistical data.
The measure of degree of repeatability of an analytical method under normal operation. The closeness of agreement between independent test results obtained under stipulated conditions. A measure of how close discrete measurements are to each other.
reference material
A generic term that refers to a material or substance whose property values are sufficiently homogeneous and stable with respect to one or more specified properties, and whose fitness is well established for its intended use in a measurement process (e.g., calibration of an apparatus, the assessment of a measurement method, or for assigning values to materials). Reference materials may be materials characterized by a reference material producer, but whose values are not accompanied by an uncertainty statement or are otherwise qualified. Traceability of these materials may be questionable.
The degree of reproducibility of the results obtained under a variety of conditions. The resistance to change in the results produced by an analytical method when minor deviations are made from the experimental conditions described in the procedure. Ruggedness of a method is tested by deliberately introducing small changes to the procedure and examining the effect on the results.
single-laboratory validation
A method validation performed within only one laboratory. The results of this validation cannot necessarily be compared with results obtained using a different method or the same method in a different laboratory.

A process of distinct steps providing documented evidence that an analytic method does what it is intended to do. Validation applies to a defined protocol, for the determination of a specified analyte (the substance being analyzed) and range of concentrations in a specified type of test material (matrix) with a high degree of accuracy and precision, used for a specified purpose.
voluntary consensus standards body
The Office of Management and Budget within the US Executive Office of the President defines voluntary consensus standards bodies as domestic or international organizations that plan, develop, establish, or coordinate voluntary standards using agreed-upon procedures. These bodies may include nonprofit organizations, industry associations, accredited standards developers, professional and technical societies, institutes, committees, task forces, or working groups. Participation of government representatives in these bodies is encouraged to increase the likelihood that the standards they develop will meet both public and private sector needs. A voluntary consensus standards body observes principles such as openness, balance of interest, and due process. Voluntary consensus standards bodies operate by consensus (general agreement), but not necessarily unanimity, characterized by the absence of sustained opposition to substantial issues by any important part of the concerned interests. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered and that an effort be made toward their resolution.

Is that why your post began with: "When will you idiots take responsibility for the failure of the Republican leadership?"
How does that statement translate to addressing the content of the article rather than the "idiots" who are not taking responsibility?
I recognize how intellectually superior you are to many of the posters here, so I know you will adequately answer my question.
There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election. The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800's. The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature. Obama's race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president. The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep...

At Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital, Certified Therapeutic Recreational Specialists use various recreation and leisure activities as a form of treatment to restore or improve physical, cognitive, social, and emotional functioning. These activities will address the goals that the therapist has in place through leisure participation, education, and community re-integration. Therapeutic interventions may address one particular goal or attend to numerous goals simultaneously.
Therapeutic Recreation provides treatment services and recreation services to persons with illnesses or disabling conditions. The primary purposes of treatment services, often referred to as recreational therapy, are to restore, remediate or rehabilitate in order to improve functioning and independence as well as to reduce or eliminate the effects of illness or disability. The primary purposes of recreational services are to provide recreation resources and opportunities to improve health and well-being.
Therapeutic Recreation uses treatment, education and recreation to help people with illnesses and disabilities to develop and use their leisure in way that enhances their functional abilities, independence and quality of life. (NTRS, 2000)
To address various functional abilities, Recreational Therapists utilize intervention techniques to help patients regain dexterity, strength, range of motion, endurance, and mobility. Cognitive skills are also addressed to increase sequencing, memory, attention to task, visual-spatial skills and problem-solving skills. Recreational therapy provides opportunities to learn new skills, adapt old ones and enjoy new leisure experiences.
The purpose of leisure education is to assist participants in eliminating or reducing barriers to enjoyable leisure participation. It aims to prepare or enable individuals to enhance the quality of their lives through individually selected patterns of recreation and leisure involvement. Healthy leisure values and attitudes, adequate social interaction skills, knowledge of leisure resources and their utilization, and a sufficient base of leisure activity skills are all important prerequisites to a balanced and healthy leisure lifestyle.
Available Education Sessions:
Community re-integration is part of the comprehensive rehabilitation treatment. Patients will be placed in situations that will test the skills learned during the rehab stay and apply them in a practical community setting while under the guidance of a therapist.

Is Volkswagen's Super Bowl ad racist?
The big game's first advertising controversy has arrived, and it involves former ad darling VW.
This year's Super Bowl has revealed its first advertising controversy: a commercial from Volkswagen (VLKAY) that's coming under fire as racist.
The commercial features a white Minnesotan who suddenly starts speaking in a Jamaican accent, urging his dour co-workers to "Turn the frown the other way around." (To see the ad, click here.) The punch line? His happiness stems from his ride: a VW Beetle.Some are finding the ad offensive, with New York Times columnist Charles Blow telling CNN, "It's like blackface with voices." Another CNN commentator said the spot reminded him of Jar Jar Binks, the maligned "Star Wars" character who was criticized as reflecting some racial stereotypes.
The stakes are high, with this year's commercial time selling for a record $3.8 million. That means some marketers are willing to take risks in order to grab viewers' attention. After all, the game's advertisers represent a who's who of America's top brands, including M&Ms, Coca-Cola (KO) and Ford (F).
That the controversy involves VW underscores how even top marketers can slip up when it comes to Super Bowl advertising. The automaker created one of 2011's most beloved Super Bowl ads,"The Force," in which a boy dressed up as Darth Vader tries to use his "force" to move sandwiches, toys and laundry. (To see that ad, click here.)
VW is standing by its Jamaican accent, with chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney noting, "there is no thought to pulling it," according to USA Today.
The automaker talked with 100 Jamaicans and used a speech coach to make sure the white actor in this year's spot accurately reflected the accent, Mahoney told CNN.
Super Bowl ads that go awry often have a common theme: they backfire when the marketer tries to shock or takes on polarizing issues. And, as VW has found, humor can miss the mark with some viewers.
More on moneyNOW
Really? Who wrote this?
Let me tell you why this isn't racisct. Here's why:
A black person of Jamaican Parents born & raised in, lets say the country America.
Would that make him Racist against whites if here were heard acting out in an American Accent while clearing being seen in Rasta attire?
Picture the commerial the other way around people... Black guy acting like a Hippie or something.
I'm white and I wouldn't consider the opposte scenario Racist at All.
What do you guys think?
You know what is racist? A media and government that pushes an agenda to ban guns because 20 white kids are murdered in a school but make no mention of the over 500 (mostly minorities) murdered in Chicago! I guess they figure they will make themselves feel like they are doing something by putting more laws on people that actually obey laws!
WTF…YOU have GOT to be joking! Keep it up…shout racism at the least little thing that could even REMOTELY be defined as racism. Remember the "boy [ref. young male of any ethnicity NOT RACIST] who cried wolf"? The Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop's Fables and is derived the English idiom "to cry wolf", meaning to give a false alarm.
The more folks "cry wolf" or shout racism about the least little minor thing…the more you dilute the meaning and destined to draw less and less attention.
NOW children, let's review the definition of the word [n.] racist [adj.] racism:
the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and thatthis endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others
abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief
Name me one black nation that can feed it's self.
90% of Blacks are killed by the hands of Blacks
In America since the civil rights amendment was passed the intelligence of america has fallen to the point america has the intelligence of a third world nation , Global ranking 17th, Global ranking in math 37th. Integration is what has destroyed every advanced nation that has ever existed.
America will never come back because of white trash race mixing with blacks which produces children which can never have advanced intelligence.
America will fail and it was planned out.
Black's are the most racist people and will not stop until the total destruction on the white race.
The white race will die out with in 100 years.
I support assured mutual destruction when the white race dies out all humanity must end , We must Plan for an earth with no humans. It is the most compassionate thing we can do.
Blacks are the lowest form of humanity and our afford to save them has destroyed the the greatest nation that ever existed humanity would have been better off if evolution was allowed to happen and they died off.

" I'm not great at writing reviews, but I'm bored right now and I thought I'd take the time to "honor" the RE0's. I've bought/sold/heard many IEM's in the past, stuff like: IE8, W3, PFE, SE530, TF10, X10 etc. Before the RE0's went on that $99 sale, I came to the conclusion that the W3's were the IEM's for me, X10 and SE530 came in a close second, but anyway, my point is, I was quite satisfied..." --koven

PDE-News (2/28/11): Ireland's Second Miracle
Ireland's Second Miracle
In 2009, the Irish economy underwent one of the deepest recessions in the EU, with its economy shrinking by as much as 10%. Late in 2010, Ireland received 85bn euros financial rescue package. Clearly, the winner of Ireland´s general elections held on Sunday (according to polls so far Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny) will have a lot on his shoulders. However, if the past is any indication, Ireland has the potential to resurge economically.
