Round 4 report courtesy of the official website
After four rounds of the Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament, Levon Aronian and Magnus Carlsen are in the lead together. Aronian defeated Vasily Ivanchuk, 1½-½, while Carlsen scored the same result against Anish Giri.
After four rounds Aronian and Grischuk still top the blindfold standings, while Carlsen remains first in the rapid competition.
The € 1,000 Game of the Day Prize was awarded to Sergey Karjakin for his blindfold win over Vladimir Kramnik.
Sergey Karjakin achieved something in his blindfold game against Vladimir Kramnik that many grandmasters will envy him for: he broke through the former world champion's Berlin Wall! As an expert in this line for both sides he introduced a novelty, 12.Nd5 which was followed up by 'a nice idea', 14.Bb2. According to Karjakin Black's best reply was 14…gxf4, as after 14…Rg8, White had the strong pawn push 15.e6. White's advantage became serious after 20.Ne5 and he cemented it with 22.f4, opening the kingside. Black could not avoid the loss of his h-pawn and then Karjakin could begin to push his kingside pawns. 'I played quite well', he smiled contentedly, and nobody argued with that.
The rapid game was quite another story. Again Karjakin was satisfied, but for a totally different reason. 'Did you see my position? I was three pawns down, without any compensation!?', he asked anyone he ran into. His amazement was understandable. Kramnik had outplayed him completely and Karjakin admitted that he had even been a little bit ashamed that he hadn't resigned the game. He could be happy that he didn't, as Kramnik completely 'lost his nerves', as guest-of-honour Viktor Kortchnoi put it, and earned nothing more than a draw for his efforts.
Boris Gelfand got a big advantage in his blindfold game against Veselin Topalov. His main problem was that there were too many attractive options and that Topalov defended stubbornly. According to the Israeli grandmaster he spoiled his last chance when he exchanged queens on g6, when 27.Rc7 would have kept him clearly on top. The only pleasant memory Gelfand will have from the game is the creative and attractive manner in which he forced a perpetual.
Topalov unpacked the present for his 36th birthday, which he celebrated today, in the rapid game. It all started with a novelty on move 15, when he withdrew his knight to b1. His comment on the novelty said a lot about some of today's opening preparation at the highest level: 'It's one of those typical computer novelties for which it is very difficult to find a solution at the board. If you don't know what it is all about it's very hard to play against it.' Gelfand thought for a long time, but failed to come up with the right solution. Topalov indicated Black's 30…Rc3 as his last mistake. He should have tried 30…Kg7, but even there White's winning chances would have been excellent.
The blindfold game between Alexander Grischuk and Vishy Anand was the first one to finish after a mere 20 moves when a move repetition forced a draw. The World Champion went for the Berlin Defence of the Ruy Lopez and once again proved its solidity. The idea he had prepared was 15…Rg6, which apparently didn't catch Grischuk by surprise as he quickly played his answer 16.g3. The point of Black's idea was 17.Nf3, which soon convinced White that he could not claim any advantage and should agree to a draw.
The rapid game ended in a win for the World Champion, but he was the first to admit that in the opening and middlegame his opponent had played better. But once Anand realized that he had to defend and look for counterchances cautiously, he used his chances better than Grischuk. Anand could have decided the game quicker with 38.Re1, but when Grischuk failed to find the saving 40…Qe6, he lost a piece and resigned two moves later.
Magnus Carlsen arrived seven minutes late for his blindfold game against Anish Giri. The Norwegian grandmaster was under the impression that the second session started at a quarter past four (he wasn't too proud of this, as this isn't exactly his first Amber and the starting times have not changed recently) and was chatting with a friend from his room. Fortunately he mentioned at some point that his next game would start at a quarter past four, which gave his friend the opportunity to tell him that he better hurry as the correct starting time was 4 p.m.! In the meantime Chief Arbiter Geurt Gijssen had started his clock as it was not the first time that Carlsen arrived late for his game. In a Grünfeld with g3 Carlsen got the initiative. He was pleased with his position and felt he had a nice advantage, but he misplayed it and had to settle for a draw. It was all about the black-squared bishops: 'I should have exchanged my black-squared bishop, but I thought that his black-squared bishop was bad. But gradually I discovered that my black-squared bishop was even worse.'
In the rapid game Carlsen opted for some sort of Dutch defence in his wish 'to just play something'. He won a pawn, because Giri had missed 22…Qd3, but even after that loss the young Dutchman had serious drawing chances. But so far Giri has fared better with black than with white and it was not to be. Once Carlsen managed to reach a knight ending he was easily winning.
Hikaru Nakamura and Vugar Gashimov fought a tough battle in their blindfold game. Both were ambitious to win as the course of the game showed unmistakable. Black emerged from the opening with comfortable play and felt that after 26…Nf5 he was already better. His only concern was to prevent White from building up an attack against his king. Black was better, but that didn't mean Nakamura was fighting for a draw, as he demonstrated when he spurned a draw after move 40. In the next phase Gashimov wondered if he was winning or not, but the moment he realized that he was in fact entering the danger zone, he quickly used the emergency brake and forced a perpetual.
Nakamura started his evaluation of the rapid game with a general remark: 'So far I have played all my blindfold games quite well, and my rapid games quite badly.' The position he got from the opening against Gashimov certainly looked unattractive and it was only because it wasn't easy for White to find the right plan to break through in a quick game that Black stayed afoot. Things were still unclear when Gashimov did play the breaking move 48.d5, after which Black moved to the driving seat. White could have defended more tenaciously, but it probably would not have changed the ultimate outcome anymore. Nakamura concluded with another general comment: 'In view of the bad luck I have had so far you could expect the luck to even out a bit.'
Levon Aronian was clearly disappointed after the blindfold game against Vasily Ivanchuk had ended in a draw. 'To reach such a position and then not to win it', he lamented as he walked into the press room. 'I had so many good options, that I started to tremble looking at all those attractive moves.' His decision to sacrifice his queen he called dubious, he should have played 27.Qe1. Because of his annoyance about his play he decided to 'give away his queen and make a draw'. But instead he started to play under his level and ended up in a lost position. Only then the 'real Aronian' reappeared, as there were 'some tricks' and he managed to make a draw after all.
Aronian was more efficient in the rapid game, although he was slightly critical of his 15…Nab3 ('too flamboyant'), when he could easily have maintained his advantage with 15…Qd7. But Ivanchuk returned the favour with 17.Rexc1, when Black would have been only slightly better after 17.Nxd4. And Black was much better after 20.cxd5. Aronian remained in charge in the remainder of the game to claim the full point after 51 moves.

carlsen and aronian; just luck. they win because opponents make bad moves.
making bad moves is what chess is all about, the point of chess is to try and minimize the number of bad moves. luck is not involved in that sense. the only sort of "luck" is if you are lucky that he forgot how to play an opening line or forgot how to do a tactical move. "they win because opponents make bad moves"... wow, did you figure out that all by yourself or did someone help you? Of course dude! They are GMs, as soon as one can get an advantage, it's basically over. But all I am saying is, that it has nothing to do with luck. I see many people saying luck in some "non-luck" situations like this one. Even if you are saying that blindfold is luck, for example, well not really, maybe a little, but it is really how much your brain works. Anyway...

Great Levon!
What's happening with Giri, by the way?
Kramnik has made so many mistakes in all his rapid games that it's hard to believe that he is concentrated at all. The game against Karjakin was just silly considering that he also had a big time advantage, but also against Anand, Topalov and Grischuk has he made several uncharacteristic blunders. He has yet to play a rapid game here where he doesn't make a couple of mistakes bigger than those in all his blindfold games taken together during a normal Amber.
I half-agree with you - but it must have taken some concentration to reach favorable to winning positions earlier on in all the rapid games you mention. So it's more a matter of _keeping_ his concentration than not being concentrated at all.
At an earlier Amber event, Vlad said that one has to be continuously concentrated in the blindfold games and cannot afford to "fall asleep" even for a brief moment ... . This time, he should apply the same standards to his rapid games!?

Kramnik and all other candidates are in the middle of preparation for the Candidates matches. This tournament doesn't come in the right time for them.
They still take it fairly seriously, Topalov and Gelfand have used strong novelties, while Grischuk and Aronian have scored quite good results. It's only Kramnik that has looked like a shadow of himself. It may not mean much, but he can't be happy with making so many mistakes without being in time trouble.
3 years 1 month ago
Rapid and Blitz are not Kramnik's strengths. Anand on the other hand has been a powerhouse at Blitz/Rapid as long as I can remember. This kind of time control suites his style. Even in the WCh match against Topalov, the latter wanted to avoid the rapid tie-break games against Anand.
Great Vishy!
What's happening with Ivanchuk, by the way? :)
Seriously, Giri is indeed the nominally weakest player AND a newcomer to blindfold. Moreover, he already played two of the greatest, scoring just half a point less than Nakamura - so his final scoring percentage (maybe not his standing in the table) may well improve.
Kramnik and Ivanchuk just seem to be out of form. For Chucky, we are used to the fact that he finishes either at the top or at the bottom of the standings, hardly somewhere in between. Kramnik ... it was quite hard not to win his rapid game against Karjakin, but somehow he managed :(

Even if you are saying that blindfold is luck, for example, well not really, maybe a little, but it is really how much your brain works. Anyway…
In a recent interview Carlsen said something along the lines of chess being all about psychological warfare with little tricks. I wonder if arriving late is a permanent addition to his arsenal (along with ignoring the touch-move rule, wiggling in his chair, refusing to shake hands, playing with his juice e.g.), maybe it helps in making luck :)

One blitz game against (I believe) Lahno; but he was very young, he was disgusted with his own played and he (upset) go away after the end of the match. One attitude that some people (in a very absurd way) just can't forget.
It's defenitely not common except for known offenders like Korchnoi. But of course, you have a good point in that it can't upset your opponent in the game you just played. Maybe the next one..
Thanks, particularly to ebutaljib! It turns out that I was very slightly wrong: once (in 2008) Ivanchuk scored 50% to finish shared sixth. In 2005 he had 12/22 (+2), at all other occasions it was either +3 or better, or -3 or worse - and he played ALL Amber events. BTW, 2005 was also an unusual year for Anand - the only time he scored just 50%.
This is Kramnik's 17th Amber and his average has been better than +5. Morozevich had five good years in a row 2002-06 with second place and +4 at worst. Together with Anand and Kramnik he never had a minus score (and even if Kramnik is -3 at the moment he will probably avoid it in the end). With Ivanchuk it's different, this could be his 6th minus result, and all of them have been quite big (-3 or worse). Tournament tables collected by ebutaljib:
Some more stats from those tables: Anand's Amber total after yesterday's round: +99. Kramnik's is +84, Gelfand (with 12 starts in the last 13 editions) is on -9, while van Wely's total is -64. Judit Polgar played the first five years 1992-96 but never after that, and had a minus only in her first start (when she was 15).
My favourite this far is Grischuk-Kramnik, that was a very well played blindfold game by Grischuk considering that he was playing on increments much of the time.

Happy birthday, Vesko! Success in family, success in life, healthy and happyness!
Good luck in candidate matches tournament and of course - new world title!

I wish Vesko (Vespa or whatever parc) the exact opposite of what you have wished for playing second fiddle that primate Dalinov's crass behavior starting from toilet gate onwards, until this Vesko or Topo develops an independent mind and more class, his birthday or not.
Kramnik has been really suffering in the hands of Karjakin lately.

Maybe Carlsen should add more "tricks" before playing, he's behaving like a regular Fischer....
I resent those thumbs down or thumbs up. That is more for little children.
Thanks for the link gg. One wonders why Kasparov and Timman never were invited to Amber. Is it there presumptuous behavior or just because van Oostrom dislikes them for another reason, Can't be about money i presume. Once i read: Kaparov dislikes blindchess en van Oostrom dislikes Kasparov...seems a bit shallow to me.
Anybody knows the real reason?
Bobby Fiske

It was Kasaprov himself who turned down the invitations. He has several times stated his dislike of blindfold chess.
About Timman I dont know.

Great Charlie Sheen!
What is happening with Obama, by the way?
the reason kramnik and chucky are losing rapid games cause they are getting old and reaction time for brain gets slow .

Sue Bee® Honey - America's Honey
Statement of Quality
In light of recent reports in the media of tainted or adulterated foods, Sue Bee® Honey would like to reiterate to the American consumer its longstanding commitment to quality. "All Sue Bee®Honey sold to consumers in the United States is 100 percent American and 100 percent pure," according to Sue Bee®Honey President and Chief Executive Officer David Allibone. Private label or store brand honey packaged by Sue Bee®Honey also is 100 percent American and 100 percent pure.
Sue Bee®Honey is able to produce and sell only pure American honey because of its unique position as the world's largest honey marketing cooperative. Its individual cooperative members, located throughout the United States, are all beekeepers with family-owned honey production operations. Together these members produce 35 million to 40 million pounds of honey annually. This homegrown honey is then rigorously tested in the foremost laboratory maintained by any honey packer, processed for purity and packaged in state-of-the-art facilities owned by Sue Bee®Honey. It is then shipped fresh and pure to your local grocery store shelves.
The only exceptions to "American grown" honey are two: five-pound containers of Sue Bee®Honey sold by a certain club store and "organic" honey — which by definition cannot be produced in the United States and originates in Brazil. When Sue Bee®states "American grown," it is referring to honey bees owned by American beekeepers producing honey in the U.S. and pollinating U.S. crops.
Sue Bee®Honey does market imported honey to food manufacturers. This honey originates in Canada, Brazil and other select countries. Like all Sue Bee® Honey, this foreign honey undergoes rigorous testing at the Sue Bee® Honey Quality Laboratory to ensure its purity. If it does not meet specific standards for purity, it is not accepted. This process ensures that Sue Bee® Honey is packaging and marketing only pure, premium honey. Sue Bee® Honey does not, and will not, purchase honey from China.
As noted by Allibone, "Sue Bee® Honey is proud of its ability to provide the highest quality American grown honey to our loyal customers. We renew our commitment to the public that we will produce and market only the purest high-quality honey at all times."
About Sue Bee Honey
Sue Bee® Honey is the branded product name for the Sioux Honey Association, headquartered in Sioux City, Iowa, with production facilities in Sioux City, Iowa; Elizabethtown, N.C.; and Anaheim, Calif. Sioux Honey Association is the world's largest honey marketing organization.

Product Code:
We've taken a fabric that is normally used on the catwalk and made it available for your imagination's Grand Endeavors. Slubs (or the twisting in the fabric) was once considered a mistake in textile production, but to the designer, these mistakes have been turned into head-turning beauties. Hence, the Slub Fabric came into being for intentionally adding the nub patterns to create both texture and visual appeal in the fabric; and the fabric extra soft and soothing to touch. So, if you're tired of plain and dull, then this fabric is sure to delight and feel good. Just say, YES, and what you can do will be truly endless.
Additional Information:
Material: Slub Polyester
Quality: HIGH / Premium Size: Each bolt is Approx. 12" wide by 10 Yards long

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The wedding programs turned out great & the quality of the paper was really good! I was amazed at how fast that we recieved the programs in the mail! The only part of the program that I did not like is that the back is blank and that you cannot add any photos. Otherwise, this is a great program, thanks for doing such a great job paper divas!"
"I decided at the last minute to order programs for the 10 guests attending our destination wedding. I was worried about getting them delivered so far away from home. I changed my delivery address online to the home we rented for our stay during our wedding, but decided to call Wedding Paper Divas to make sure they were headed to the right destination. The representative couldn't have been more kind and helpful. She went through the entire order and reassured me they would be delivered to the right place. She even encouraged me to go through my emails to retrieve a coupon that saved me lots, all while waiting on the phone until I found one! Our programs arrived two days later and they were absolutely gorgeous!! We had already used another well known company for our wedding invitations that cost more and were not as high of quality. I LOVE Wedding Paper Divas products and customer service! I recommend them to all my friends now."
"The quality of the card is beautiful. Everyone who has seen the program has remarked on the quality and design. We had wanted a specail note added to the back of the program which they were able to do without any problem. We were very happy!"
"The ordering process was easy and I got the programs almost a week before they were scheduled to be delivered! Also, they look amazing! Quality product."
"These really turned out great! I was expecting them to be nice, but WOAH--they swooshed right past that. The print quality is phenomenal. Wedding Paper Diva's even allowed me to put an "In memory of" on the back of my program with no extra hassle. The programs came 2 working days after they shipped, and they shipped one working day after I approved my proof. I strongly recommend the pearly white paper...it is very nice. I will be using this vendor for all of my stationary needs from now on!"

Imitation of Christ
2012 February 13
Fall 2012: Zac Posen, DKNY, Imitation, Simon Spurr
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Zac Posen
"Lately, I've been obsessed with finding images of the Duchess of Windsor when she was in Asia, before she went to England," Zac Posen told The Daily following his ultra-opulent showing at Lincoln Center's David Koch Theatre. Dita Von Teese, Kate Mara, and Leigh Lezark took their rightful seats at the front of the line despite a frenzy of flashbulbs and watched as Posen sent down a troupe of mods in Japanese floral jacquard peplum dresses accented with origami detailing, jewel-toned skirt suits, and his perennial favorite, the corseted, body-hugging fishtail gown, cinched at the waist with printed obi-like belts.
In the fifties and sixties, the Beat Generation's poetic rebellion came in the form of cult classics like Jack Kerouac's On the Road and Gregory Corso's Bomb. For DKNY circa Fall 2012, "poetic rebellion" emerged in Donna Karan's recent runway collection of the same name, inspired by said counterculture phenoms. But don't expect an offering raging against the Man. After all, Karan built a global empire appealing to the masses so New York black workwear for the young professional—leather and wool overcoats, belted puffers, creased front wool trousers, and office suiting with boxy jackets and ruffle hem skirts—was a major must. All-over floral blue pantsuits, sassy black and white animal print dresses, and shearling aviator mock collars added a dose of indie spice to the mix that would have Ginsberg howling with joy.
Buddakan's Chelsea resto transformed into a buzzy fashion den yesterday afternoon as Imitation hosted a whimsical presentation downstairs with 25 red-lipped models, two creative design partners, and one magic-wielding entertainer. Tara Subkoff's seasonal vintage-inspired élan was reimagined with the help of collaborators Amber Doyle and Jake Mueser of downtown bespoke boutique Doyle + Mueser, who initially teamed up last season to throw a mock wedding, outfitting the entire ceremonial party in the custom-made collab. This time, menswear tailoring showed face in elongated pinstripe blazer-dresses, cold weather capes, and one-shouldered work shirts alongside Subkoff's slinky retro frocks summoned from the seventies influences of Yves Saint Laurent and Thierry Mugler.
Simon Spurr
Last year, Spurr was nominated in the best men's wear category for a CFDA, and he proved this was no fluke. His collection shown at Milk on Sunday was intended to push the boundaries of sartorial tailoring. The English designer was inspired by the men in Robert Frank's photographs of London, but as he told The Daily, "We wanted to created that mood and ambience, but move it forward to a modern world, a distinguished gentleman." Success? Indeed! His aesthetic makes no apologizes for culling inspiration from his own English upbringing, but this Hedi Slimane, Calvin and Ralph vet, is turning into his own man. He's the Spurr of the moment.

The Independent Study: Making Your Own Course

Ignore the graffiti above!
HackLibSchool is all about how to make the most of your library program and how to engage the library profession at large. A running series of posts, Hack Your Program, offers overviews of the curricula and cultures of various library school programs. The Starter Kit series provides tips on what to do as you start your program, from suggestions for navigating courses to discussions of internships and gaining practical library experience. What I'd like to bring up today is the independent study, a valuable option at many programs which allows you to customize your learning.
In an independent study, you essentially create your own course on a topic of your devising, working in concert with a faculty mentor. In format, the independent study is like the tutorial system used by some British universities for undergraduate education; you meet individually with the faculty member on a regular basis and discuss a set of readings as well as writing assignments.
You must bring a lot to the table with each meeting, but the benefits include one-on-one attention, more focused exploration of a topic that interests you, and more flexible scheduling. Some programs even allow two or three students to do an independent study together if you prefer.
Professors will differ in the way they conduct the meetings, but most faculty expect students to take the lead in discussions. They will ask questions in order to help students clarify what they are thinking and what kinds of issues they want to discuss. Don't think of the situation as an exam where the professor has the knowledge and you are there to be tested on how much of it you have absorbed. Think of it, instead, as a chance to talk to a library researcher about a shared interest in librarianship. An independent study is also a great chance to learn differently than might be the established culture of teaching methods in your library school.
Ideally, an independent study supplements and complements what your program's curriculum already offers. However, some schools also let you use an independent study to cover a topic that doesn't fit your schedule timing-wise (some courses may only be offered every other year or even less frequently).
Start thinking early about what you might want to study. The scope of an independent study can be broad or deep, but the extent of your engagement with the topic should be of sufficient amount to equal a standard course. Consult with faculty and academic advisors about potential topics to make sure that what you want to study isn't already covered by a course on the books.
You will want to start thinking at least a semester in advance so that you can find a suitable faculty mentor whose expertise matches your topic. You will generally have to write up a proposal, which can include the proposed study topic, a rationale for the focus, a preliminary reading list, and a description of the learning documents that you will produce. These documents have traditionally been informal and formal papers, but be creative! You might do a poster presentation to submit to an ALA conference. You might compile an annotated bibliography. You might create a service learning project with a local organization. You might create a website. You might make video tutorials for a library's online resources.
As the name implies, an independent study puts much of the responsibility for learning on your shoulders. Don't wait around for your faculty mentor to tell you what to do. Do seek her or his advice, though. If you find yourself lost in the material or at a loss for how to proceed, don't be afraid to say so.
Make sure you have good rapport with your chosen faculty mentor. You don't want to suffer through a semester of awkward or difficult meetings!
Ask around to see what independent studies your classmates might have done (on what topics and with which professors). The department office might also allow you to look at proposals others have submitted in the past.
Also be aware that your professors generally take on independent studies above and beyond their usual teaching, research, and service obligations, and they may or may not be compensated for the extra work.
You will get a chance to learn what you want to learn.
You can demonstrate your ability to work independently and proactively, something your future employers will surely love.
You can tackle in depth that really interesting topic you started thinking about for a previous class's final research paper.
You can get a head start on exploring the literature for a topic you would like to write about for your master's essay.
You can study something that is too new or too cutting-edge to have made it into your program's curriculum. It takes time for courses to make their way through the bureaucracy of schools, and given the rapid pace of change in the field of librarianship, it is inevitable that there will be topics relevant in today's libraries (and the libraries of tomorrow) that have yet to find expression in the offered courses.
Please share with us if you've done independent studies before. What was the topic of the study? Or, do you have ideas for topics you would like to study?
In the spirit of HackLibSchool, I'll end with another suggestion: think about how you might use an independent study to sync your learning with a library student at another program. Perhaps you could develop an independent study together and incorporate conference calls with each other and faculty mentors as part of the semester's meetings, or you could use a shared email listserv to carry on a discussion virtually across programs. (The Declassified series offers a look at how useful it is to think across programs in terms of particular classes.)
I'm beginning to think about an independent study for next year on librarianship as teaching. Anyone wanna join me?

I agree with Rose. I have done independent studies in the past, but I have so many required courses to fit in that it just hadn't occurred to me. They can be such an amazing experience, though, and such a great way to get the knowledge that you want even if your school doesn't offer it. I'll definitely be passing this post on to my fellow WSU SLIS students!
I'm in the process of getting an independent study approved in music librarianship for the fall. My top job choice is working in an academic music library, so doing some focused study is a must and my program doesn't offer a Music Lib course. Working in the music library, which I do now, is helpful, but I'm really looking forward to working closely with the head music librarian and digging deeper into the topic. I'm lucky because I'll also be taking part of the semester to work with the music cataloger and get some first-hand experience with cataloging music materials. It's really exciting to have so much input on a course and get to tailor it exactly to what I want to learn about!

T&FN, sad stumble w/ link on surprize person of interest
Last edited by paulthefan on Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:30 am, edited 1 time in total.
whoever decided to include that link on T&FN home page is a buffoon and a disgrace.
A guardian at the door of T&FN's reputation has spoken.
Hmm-m-m-m. If I post on this thread, will I lose my sense of humor too?
I can't prove this, but I'd be willing to bet that whoever is in charge of putting links on the home page here saw this as an Onion-type spoof, and thought it would be a good idea to inject some levity into an otherwise depressing list of links to somber articles about a miserable subject.
if it were the governor of a large state that was used as the target it would be marginal, though you could argue that a particular governor of a particular large state would be fair game, but the target chosen is downright weird and shameful.. T&FN gains nothing by following them in this disgrace.
She was the Provost (Dean of Deans) there. I know of no Stanford link to BALCO except they were in the same part of California.
Apparently they subscribe to that same code the Coe supporters do, what she did later in life has no bearing on what she acccomplished there.
who (RJ?) are we talking about and what in the world did Coe do?... please pm me if necessary, the suspense is cruel.

( this'll get pulled quick, so read quick )
that 1'41.73 stamina extends beyond firenze !
Maybe not.
http://mb.trackandfieldnews.com/discuss ... torder=asc
RJ is Regina Jacobs who took THG. This bugs some folks. Coe had consensual relations with an adult woman not his wife. This apparently equally bugs some folks.
I rather doubt that Coe's wife consented. And I would be one of those people who does have a problem with that. Want to fool around? Sure, go ahead. But please don't take any vows about 'honoring' your spouse. Do the 'right' thing and divorce your wife first. You obviously don't respect her anywhere, so why live the lie?
