"Drug Testing Just Dopey"
This one is good for some heated discussion:
I just gotta ask... is this true:
I mean the story. The opinion at the end is too subjective for a clear-cut answer.
Edit: Maybe so...
http://www.infoplease.com/spot/summer-o ... -lorz.html
Yes, but it was NOT "injected"; it was taken by mouth.
For what it's worth, I agree completely with the writer's point of view.
I'm not sure I do, especially for steroids in the women's events. Should women really have to turn themselves into men to be competitive?
With respect to the mens events I might be a bit more sympathetic but what levels of drug cocktails would world classes athletes eventually be taking? The author derides the health argument based on a hypothetical drug with no side effects. But does such a drug exist?
With drug testing in place one assumes that even the worst druggies have to be conservative with the amount used for fear of testing. With no testing, could the liver take it?
Local piece on Mary Wineberg and the drug testers.
Yeah, heat up the pablum...
Quick: How many really shitty arguments can you find before LoLo gets to hurdle number 1? I found enough to induce a temper tantrum in a hypothetical infantile genius, maybe age 4 months, who wouldn't yet have acquired empathy for the feebleminded, and the wisdom to decline taking offence at free and hysterical things like the wind, and wind....
From the article in question:
"Don't bother arguing the immorality of performance-enhancing drugs; that doesn't wash any more. There are too many contradictions."
NO - the question is not served by searching for quasi-analogous circumstances which can be fantasized as being approximations to the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport - the issue is, quite simply, whether it is immoral to lie.
"To be human, said Kant, is to have the rational power of free choice; to be ethical, he continued, is to respect that power in oneself and others. Lies are morally wrong, then, for two reasons. First, lying corrupts the most important quality of my being human: my ability to make free, rational choices. Each lie I tell contradicts the part of me that gives me moral worth. Second, my lies rob others of their freedom to choose rationally. When my lie leads people to decide other than they would had they known the truth, I have harmed their human dignity and autonomy. Kant believed that to value ourselves and others as ends instead of means, we have perfect duties (i.e., no exceptions) to avoid damaging, interfering with, or misusing the ability to make free decisions; in other words - no lying."
"People often poorly estimate the consequences of their actions or specifically undervalue or ignore the harmful consequences to society (e.g., mistrust) that their lies cause."
http://www.scu.edu/ethics/publications/ ... lying.html
I'd pay to see that . . .
Yesterday the WaPo's resident drug-lady, Amy Shipley, had an interesting piece. This caught my eye:
Of course, Asafa Powell's high dudgeon in the recent timesOnline (UK) shouldn't be missed. I'm with Powell, even though I suspect Llewellyn is probably right.
Thanks for the link George. Congratulations to the 4 track and field athletes named as participants in USADA's nascent project -
"The new drug-testing program, which is being administered by USADA,........doesn't attempt to identify performance-enhancing drugs per se. Rather, it requires that the athletes submit to frequent blood and urine testing to establish personal norms in more than a dozen hormonal categories. If those numbers stay constant, it's compelling -- but not definitive -- evidence that no doping is taking place. If the numbers fluctuate, it could indicate, or at least raise suspicion, that an athlete is using drugs........
The athletes participating in the program include........sprinters Tyson Gay and Allyson Felix....[and] Bryan Clay and Dee Dee Trotter".
It could be interesting to see which athletes may decline participation in the near future, as the program expands, and for what stated reasons. Or will the test group serve as a "baseline" from which full-scale, mandatory inclusion will follow?
"John Hoberman, an anti-doping expert and University of Texas professor, pointed out that a number of professional cycling teams have adopted similar programs and make the results public. "Anybody in this day and age who thinks they can get away with, 'Trust me,' is just detached from reality," Hoberman said. "Transparency is transparency." "
For what its worth, I consider this a sad era in which we live when to compete in sport a person has to take a piss while having another human being watch you doing it. There are many people in the world that have difficulty in doing so.
What I am in favor of is completely separating the professionals from the amateurs. If you want to be paid in the sport, then fine, go ahead and undergo the testing procedures. However, I am all in favor of separating the youth, open amateurs, and masters from the professionals. Its time to bring sanity back to sports.
Let the USATF handle the professionals. As for the rest of us, let the NCAA or AAU handle the rest.
As for the recent announcement of the USATF of testing 15-16, 17-18 year olds at the JO Nationals starting next year, I hope some parents bring some seriously LARGE lawsuits against the USATF. As a USATF member, I am publicly denouncing this move on this forum.
If one is clean as a whistle I can't imagine why you would have a problem submitting whatever.
Give TG, Allyson and others (Dara Torres) for offering to do it all.
Part of the reasoning behind not being a front-runner for participating is the sheer number of tests (random) to which one must submit. Some athletes feel it is a burden.
If one is clean as a whistle, they:d not have trouble stating that they are clean, either. Not all athletes profess that when provided the choice. Gay:s training mates signed up last year to state they were clean, Gay didn:t. This year he:s one of the lab rats, and none of those from last year are.
The whistle may blow, but it may not always be to signify a foul (or that one is clean).
So what's your take on testing in high school sports that has gone on in several school districts for many years now?
I feel the same way; however, as far as I know (and I may be wrong on this), HS athletes aren't faced with the prospect of actually having someone unknown to them watching them. This methodology opens up the possibility for serious litigation based on an athlete perceiving rightly or wrongly that the testing person exhibited sexual advances or unwanted "stares". A whole can of worms can be opened up for minors.
With regard to the whole deal with recreational drugs, I think the whole HS testing deal is way out-of-bounds. It is NOT the business of secondary schools to be on a witch-hunt for those kids that may or may not be using recreational drugs. I grew-up during the 70s and 80s, and we all knew who the usual drug users were. Most of them that did it regularly DIDN'T compete in sports, and for those who did, it only hindered them. The vast majority of those kids that did drugs during those days have now become fully functioning adults, all grown with children and grandchildren of their own.
If we are to continue to have testing, then it needs to become less personally invasive with regard to modesty issues. Blood testing, hair sampling, or other non-invasive procedures can be implemented. Certainly, minors should not be subject to the gawking of adults at their genitals. This is ridiculous. I certainly would not allow any minor child of mine to be subject to such testing (if I had children). I have three nephews now getting involved in sports, and I will be very frank with their parents regarding the whole drug testing situation. I hope to motivate more parents to push back against the invasiveness that our currently insane world of sports authorities tries to impose on us. It is more than time to reject this insanity.
As a high school teacher who used to coach XC and track, I agree completely that the use of recreational drugs should not be tested for. For those kids who get caught at a party, post pictures of themselves partying it up on myspace, etc. then too bad as far as discipline regarding athletics.
However, PEDs are a different story. Thankfully, the research done so far has shown less use amongst PEDs among high school athletes than there was thought to have been so that's been a real positive.
Having an adult there watching a minor urinate is certainly concerning, yes. Agreed that other methods for testing need to be utilized.
I never believed the figures thrown around in the press regarding the use of PEDs at the high school level. I have coached D3 level athletes for most of the last 6 years, and the high school level before that off-and-on since 1986 (even while I was still an athlete in college - red-shirting). Not a one of the athletes I ever worked with used anything more than caffeine. Use of PEDs almost always brings about a sudden increase in performance, and that is a huge flag to me.
Even while I was competing for Cincy back in the 80s, I knew of only a few athletes in the old Metro Conference that I ever believed were using the "stuff". I could name them, but that's old news and water well under and past the bridge. I never felt personally robbed because of those athletes performances. My thoughts at the time were they were just more willing to take a chance to make the "big time" than I or the vast majority of us at the time were willing to do. This was also the days prior to steroids becoming controlled substance and the penalty for having such without a doctor's prescription becoming a federal rap. These were also the days prior to the internet and the availibility of Mexican and Chinese-made pharmaceuticals.
As for the athletes I coach these days, I tell them that PEDs are simply not worth the risk given the rewards. Only at the professional level do the rewards potentially outweigh the risks, and to me, frankly, no stupid gold medal is worth the risk to my health due to messing with the hormonal system. As for the whole "purity of sport" blab, don't even get me started on that.
Yep, and there's bad side effects associated with taking them for quite a few gals. Of course, someone here is going to suggest just the opposite, but then abstinence can go a long way too!
Astana, run by Lance's former director, uses the blood profile approach and just released Gusev for failing on that profile even though he did not test positive. (Astana had Vino, Kash., and another test + and Mazallino (sp?) get caught up in the Oil-for drugs' investigation in Italy. (I am on the road and cannot easily check stuff).
CSC also uses it.
Geez Kurt, guys grow up doing it all the time, simultaneously inspecting their buddies' endowments, and joking that too many shakes is cheating.
"3 shakes, I saw it." "2.5 and you know it, don't mess with me." "Immoral liar."
How far we've come from our natural roots.
Sorry, I wasn't one of them, and I know I'm not the only one.
Hysterical right wingers typically have deeply rooted insecurities. Did you write columns for the high school newspaper decrying the "3 shake rule" ?
....and insane left-wingers are typical in their constant, narcissistic railings against those who believe in maintaining some level of decorum....
Have a great day, Mennisco
Agreed, except that I tend to be, on many issues, about as left wing as Attila the Hen. The proctologist and the gynecologist perhaps provide egregious examples of shocking lack of decorum in your world, as outrageous as that displayed in the OJ Simpson trial, or by the slut Madonna, or Monica Lewinski in her better moments.
Nothing stopping them taking the blood test route if they are shy.
As I understand it, urine tests are mandatory. And I agree with Kurt on this one - when the rules require you to piss while under up-close-and-personal direct scrutiny of strangers (or even non-strangers) then things are totally f**ked up.
Would it be acceptable if they were MD's?
No. It is not their qualifications. It is the fact that folks have to pee while under intense close-up scrutiny.
So what are the actual rules, mandatory blood and urine, or just mandatory urine? I would have thought one blood test would be enough and preferable, given HGH is a blood test. Or are the urine tests more sensitive for steroids, so they need both?
Good lord- it isn't that big of deal.
Of course I say this after having a roomful of people watch something the size of a small watermelon come out of me.

75th Tata Steel tournament: players A & B group announced
Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, Fabiano Caruana, Vishy Anand, Sergey Karjakin, Hikaru Nakamura, Wang Hao, Peter Leko, Anish Giri, Pentala Harikrishna, Loek van Wely, Ivan Sokolov, Erwin l'Ami and Hou Yifan are the names of the Tata Steel tournament's A group in January 2013. The 75th edition will be held 11-27 January, 2013 in Wijk aan Zee and today the participants of GM groups A and B have been announced in a press release.
The global crisis isn't over yet and so the organizers had to work with a smaller budget, but nonetheless the 75th Tata Steel Chess Tournament has a strong and interesting field. Besides World Champion and five times winner Vishy Anand, Magnus Carlsen confirmed his participation as well. The young Norwegian, currently the highest rated player in the world and three points shy of an all-time rating record, will play for the 10th time in Wijk aan Zee.
Five players out of the current top seven will be present in Wijk aan Zee in January 2013. Besides Anand and Carlsen there's three times winner Levon Aronian, fast-rising star Fabiano Caruana and former winners Hikaru Nakamura and Sergey Karjakin.
A remarkable name is 18-year-old Hou Yifan, the reiging Women's World Champion. She will be playing her first Grand Slam tournament ever. Another debutant is Pentala Harikrishna of India, who won the B group last year and thus promoted to the A group.
Traditionally a number of local heros have been included in the top group as well. Besides Anish Giri these are Loek van Wely, Ivan Sokolov and Erwin l'Ami.

The B group is strong as well, and sees a mixture of young talents and experienced GMs. The top three players of the last World Junior Championship are present (Alexander Ipatov, Richard Rapport and Nils Grandelius), and also youngsters Daniil Dubov (who performed strongly at the Russian Championship) and Robin van Kampen (currently Holland's biggest talent). Former winners Jan Timman (1981 and 1985) and Predrag Nikolic (1989 and 1994) have accepted their invitation as well.

The field of the C group will be announced later. The 75th Tata Steel Chess Tournament will be held 11-27 January 2013 at sports centre De Moriaan in Wijk aan Zee.
No Radjabov ? No Kramnik ? No Anand ? No Andreikin ? No Grishuk ? No NOTHING
1 year 5 months ago
Anand should not accept invitation if he is not to be addressed as world champion and be listed first in the list on the official tournament site. Otherwise misleading as to who is the top player here.
I'm pretty sure Vishy is both man and sage enough to realize a 70 point rating difference is difficult to ignore.....
Now that was a very disappointing field. Sokolov, l'Ami, van Wely, Leko, Hou but no Radjabov or Kramnik?
Harikrishna qualified for the A group, some local players are OK (even if three plus Giri who also plays other supertournaments is a lot), then only Hou Yifan is a publicity stunt (she would be seeded 10th in the B group).
Regarding "smaller budget", I wonder how many strong players could be added to the A group if they - for once - dared to not invite Carlsen. Would they get Radjabov and Grischuk and Andreikin (maybe even Kramnik) for the prize of Magnus?
BTW the following players who might have been under consideration for the A or B group do (prefer to?) play in Gibraltar: Ivanchuk, Kamsky, Wojtaszek, Adams, Shirov, Bruzon, Short, Vachier-Lagrave, Le Quang Liem.
They have three players who will get coverage in Dutch media -- Carlsen, Giri and Hou. Radjabov, Grischuk, Andreikin, you can add ten more but they'll be completely useless from a publicity viewpoint.
1 year 5 months ago
This is exactly the point. Sad but true. No more russians, ukrainians, azeris.... . That is why since long time i prefer strong opens like aeroflot, gibraltar, chigorin or european individual, where there are many 2700 plus young and improving 2500-2600 GMs. Anyway, it is good to see Rapport and Dubov in the B tournament.
They have three players who will get coverage in Dutch media -- Carlsen, Giri and Hou, as well as Timman in the B group. Radjabov, Grischuk, Andreikin, you can add ten more but they'll be completely useless from a publicity viewpoint.
I see your point but would blame Dutch (mainstream) media, at least a little bit. First, at least Aronian, Anand and Caruana should also get coverage. Second, why couldn't a mainstream journalist (or a chess journalist writing for mainstream media) write a story about Andreikin, after he already wrote ten stories each about Carlsen and Giri?
Give me one reason why an average, non chess-playing Dutch reader, interested in checking the sports pages of a regular newspaper, would be interested in reading about Andreikin. What's the story? There IS no story.
How do you know that there is no story? For the time being it seems that such a story hasn't yet been written and published (at least not in the Netherlands). It might be challenging for a journalist [I don't know if Andreikin speaks fluent English ...], and it won't happen if he isn't invited to Wijk aan Zee. But "there is no published story" doesn't mean that there is no story ... .
1 year 5 months ago
Dutch medias are biased with their players. If they have not been included, the media coverage will be poor in Dutch. Thefore they are focrced to include some low rated players from Dutch. Financial problem will also be another factor for not inviting great players.
It's not just that: it's also a great stimulus for Dutch chess. Dutch tournaments have done a great deal for the world's elite over the last 80 years or so. It's good that dutch players profit from it aswell.
But I feel, much as I like him, Erwin might be a tad light in this field and he has not shown anything special over the last years.
I don't know what the girl is doing here. She'll suffer badly and it will do nothing for her development and confidence. Hopefully her dreams are not permanently destroyed, it would not be the first time talents were messed up by overambitious handlers and tournaments
Andreikin's best achievement is being one of six players to finish +1 in the Russian Championship and then win the rapid tiebreak. Well done by him but nothing you get invitations for unless you reach a top 20 position.
It's more surprising to me that Radjabov was left out, his Wijk results have been excellent. In his latest starts he scored +3 (shared second), +2 (shared second), +2 (shared third), +4 (shared first). Now that he's just a few points away from 2800 and the 7th highest rated player ever it would seem natural to invite him.
Top 20 is arbitrary, Andreikin is already #23 on the live rating list. Maybe he rose too quickly, just a few months ago (with Elo 2700) he might have been a candidate for the B event but this would by now be a bit insulting.
Radjabov is another story. I agree it's surprising that he was left out, but even the very strongest players do not _have to_ be invited all the time. Maybe he declined an invitation, maybe he had unreasonable (for the organizers) financial demands, who knows? It might be more suprising that Kramnik is ignored twice in a row?
"Maybe he declined an invitation, maybe he had unreasonable (for the organizers) financial demands, who knows? It might be more suprising that Kramnik is ignored twice in a row?"
Both are surprising, but Radjabov has more than once said that Wijk is his favourite tournament and his results have been Carlsen level in the event, but he has only been invited once the last four years, and he has been rising steadily. Kramnik has on the other hand Wijk as his least favourite tournament, still I would certainly invite both among my first five picks.
Maybe it's also a question of what players are fan/sponsor/organiser favourites. Leko has always been one of the first players to be invited to every top event the last 15 years, whether it's Dortmund, Linares, Tal Memorial or Wijk.
I used to be surprised that Radjabov never was invited to for example Tal Memorial year after year (or Wijk, Dortmund, etc), but finally he was invited for the first time this year and was 0.5 from winning. Still I don't think he ever will be able to compete with someone like Leko with regards to popularity among the organisers. I wonder if it has to do with money, but I guess we'll never know.
Based on what one reads in various forums, Leko certainly isn't a fan favorite ... . It doesn't make sense to compare invitations over the last 15 years between Leko (now 33) and Radjabov (now 25), but there are several reasons why Leko got more frequent invitations:
- he was a child prodigy at a time when this was still fairly uncommon
- he was always the strongest player from Hungary, while Radjabov (within Azerbaijan) competed with Mamedyarov and Gashimov
- and yes, he had a capable manager. Furthermore, Leko himself seems to be a pleasant multilingual persons, while there were some issues with radjabov's hate remarks about Armenians.
"there were some issues with radjabov's hate remarks about Armenians"
I don't know about any such remarks except one ridiculous "we all hate Armenians"-quote that was made up by Azerbaijani yellow press once (and quickly denied by Radjabov himself). I don't know of him ever actually saying anything even remotely similar to that, and Aronian has even referred to him as "my Caucasian brother". Leko is certainly considered to be a pleasant person and I think that is more important to the organisers than if Radjabov would be seen as the more drawish player of the two. The last 15+ years I think Leko was invited to more or less every Tal Memorial, Linares, Wijk and Dortmund but declined a couple of times when on a break. Players like Gelfand, Morozevich, Grischuk or Radjabov could be grateful if they were invited to at most one of these events every year but that's how it works.
Well, Leko was top10 (often top5) throughout the first decade of this millennium - and before that he was the most promising teenager. From the players you mention only Morozevich is about comparable in that respect - but may have suffered from the fact that organizers invite a limited number of Russians, and not always the same ones. Radjabov entered the top10 in April 2007 (at the age of 20) and established himself in the top5 only November 2011.
"I wonder how many strong players could be added to the A group if they - for once - dared to not invite Carlsen. Would they get Radjabov and Grischuk and Andreikin (maybe even Kramnik) for the prize of Magnus?"
Or what about daring not to invite the World Champion that people will keep saying of course isn't trying to win his games etc etc as in his last four-five tournaments.
1 year 5 months ago
exactly! I think Kramnik, Radjabov and Topalov were invited, I am not sure. But on the other hand, they could consider Chucky, Shirov, Gelfand, Moro, Domingez might have been consider too. So, let's see, drawing with the top sits and winning as much as against bottom sits might be the first strategy. I am looking forward to see Caruana and Anand's performances by the way.
It has always been the policy in Wijk aan Zee not just to invite the strongest players. They provide top level training for the best Dutch players, they give promising youngsters a chance above their rating level and they promote the taking part of strong women players in mixed competition. Which I think is a laudable and interesting format.
I'm very interested in what Hou Yifan will do. It may be a do-or-die chance for her: she is still one of the most promising young players, but she will have to hurry if she wants to do more than win all the women tournaments.
Generally +1 - however what's missing this (next) year in the A group is to "give promising youngsters a chance above their rating level". In the recent past, such names included Nakamura, Caruana, Nepomniachtchi, Wang Hao and Vachier-Lagrave (some then entered the absolute world top, others didn't). This time, Andreikin would be a logical choice (who else?).
As to women in mixed competitions, I agree but they (Hou Yifan and others) might better fit in the B group. The complete lack of women in the B group is a bit surprising, or maybe not as Gibraltar attracts them with rather generous women prizes - the top35 as of today includes no less than 15 women: http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.com/who_is_playing_masters.htm
Koneru and the Kosintsevas are missing from the list (which isn't final yet).
Hou Yifan has already proven herself in mixed events - certainly Gibraltar 2012, and (confirming her rating in) Hoogeveen wasn't exactly a failure either. The Tata Steel crown group may be 'easy' for her because anything but last place would already be a surprise and an achievement!?
Let's concentrate on Hou as a young player, rather than a woman player. We have gotten pretty used to her name, but she is just 18 years old, four years younger than Andreikin. Why shouldn't she reach top level? She is still one of the strongest of her age group (>1994), but last year (after Gibraltar) she seems to be falling behind. Happens more with young players, one year there is a 150 point rise, next year there is a stand still.
She is also a world champion - I'm not so sure if that is something that furthers her career, she might develop more freely without it.
The Tata organisers are taking a risk with her; if she fails they'll be sorry they haven't chosen an Andreikin, and everyone will tell them, But when she has a good start, publicity is guaranteed.
Hou herself also takes a risk. It can be her big breakthrough,or at least give her the confidence she can compete with the best. But she also takes a risk. The lions can devour her completely.
I once ended a Dutch junior championship with 1/9. Still gives me shivers.
So, an interesting decision by the Tata organisers. Time will tell whether it was wise.
As a young player she is still more than 100 points behind the younger Giri. To me the fact that she hasn't really moved rating wise the last four years is a sign that she won't make it to top 50 level, but she's good anyway, just very far from Polgar (and at the moment also rated behind Koneru).
Giri is a special case, but Hou Yifan is also slightly lower-rated than Swiercz, Robson, Rapport and Nyzhnyk, and clearly lower-rated than Yu Yangyi. Would any of these players be considered for the A group? For better or for worse, it matters that Hou Yifan is a woman.
Well, she wasn't lower-rated a year ago - the ups and downs of young players.
But the main thing is: Chessvibes Forum isn't the organiser, it's Tata. If anybody here wants a different line-up, organize your own tournament. Tata has good reasons to do as they do, and they pay for it. Maybe those other young players weren't available, maybe they hoped to attract more attention this way. That is a very valid argument! (And it already seems to be working...)
Of course the organizers decide, Chessvibes forum does not and cannot because we wouldn't reach a consensus anyway! But we can still discuss and wonder about their decisions - if you and I were invited to the A group (or even the C group) others would certainly be puzzled :)
In any case, it does matter that Hou Yifan is a woman - if any of the male players I mentioned won a tournament where the other players are rated below 2600 we would hardly notice.
1 year 5 months ago
if someone would like to organize the best possible tournament with 14 players, this would be the A group: Anand, Carlsen, Aronian, Krámnik, Topálov, Radjabov, Caruana, Nakamura, Karjakin, Ivanchuk, Gelfand, Grischuk, Morozevich and Leko. I guess we'll have to wait a long time for something like that. In the mean time, Smeets, Van Welys, L'Amis and other people take their place for nothing.
1 year 5 months ago
Looks like a prime field for Carlsen to smash the 2850 record. Apart from Aronian and Caruana, the rest of the field is pretty weak (relative to how they have played him).
With Nakamura out of form and Anand hiding his preparation, there are no serious challengers. Maybe Karjakin will pose some questions.
Good to see Yifan participating in the main group. Maybe Koneru could have played in the B group?
1 year 5 months ago
Yes this looks like a great opportunity to score at least 10/13 for Carlsen!
great event, i will be visiting
Last Wijk was different level compared to the coming year. It had one player outside top 30 (all were top 55), this year five players are rated 59th and lower, some of them considerably lower.

Hou Yifan in the A group does seem uncomfortably like affirmative action. And i"Ami and Sokolov in the A group looks completely like hometown action.
If that's the A group, Naiditsch clearly deserves a spot. Kind of a slap in the face to put a top-40 2700 player in the B group, in fact.
As for not inviting Magnus, come on, get serious. Gibraltar would pay whatever it takes to lure him if Wijk turned up their noses at him.
"Kind of a slap in the face to put a top-40 2700 player in the B group, in fact. "
It's not a slap in the face and has happened many times before at this tournament Casey.
"As for not inviting Magnus, come on, get serious. Gibraltar would pay whatever it takes to lure him if Wijk turned up their noses at him."
So what, if it means that this tournament is improved with more interesting players ? Carlsen has participated 6 times and won this tourney once, it's not like it couldn't do without him.

Free Proxy List - List of Open Proxy Servers
Proxy Server List - this page provides and maintains the largest and the most up-to-date list of working proxy servers that are available for public use. Our powerful software works all day checking over a million proxies daily with most proxy servers tested at least once every 20 minutes, thus creating one of the most reliable proxy lists on the Internet - all for free.
Any proxy server listed on this page can be used with a software application that supports the use of proxies such as your web browser. The uses of proxy include hiding your real IP address, disguising your location, and accessing blocked websites.
This proxy list is updated once every 60 seconds from the data stored in our gigabyte-sized proxy database. The list can be filtered by a number of attributes such as the port number of a proxy, country of origin of a proxy, and the level of anonymity of a proxy.
Proxy Anonymity Levels
- Transparent - Web server knows your IP address and it knows that you're using a proxy
- Anonymous - Web servers does not know your IP address, but it knows that you're using a proxy;
- Elite - Web server does not know your IP address, nor is it aware that you're using proxy.
How to use Proxy Servers?
Almost any software can be configured to use a proxy, and for most people that would be your web-browser. Changing proxy settings in your browser isn't that difficult, but it's a boring task that simply takes too many steps. That's why we created a software that allows you to switch between proxies fast with one single click - ProxyNova Proxy Switcher
or you may choose to configure your browser's proxy settings manually:

Yes, that is pretty much the reason why I could never do much in it.
Okay, tacit programming is the best part of the language.
Yes, I've seen them. They are fantastic.
Yes, and there are essays in that site with very useful programs!
I agree. Fortunately, the tutorials I found on that site are great!
Indeed, they are hard to remember and understand.
You're welcome.
Okay, thanks, did not see that before!

Isn't o. used for trig functions as well?

You do not. But like a difference table how far you go horizontally depends on how tall the first column is. Each column is more and more accurate, so pick a number n and go from there.
But, how do I know how many values to get for the first column?
You only need one column and the the formula generates all the rest.

A community health needs assessment is a process that helps us understand and document the health status of the people who live in our community with the goal of improving health and facilitating access to resources that will help people take care of their selves.
Conducting a CHNA is like taking the temperature of a community's well-being, health, and fitness by examining leading causes of physical and mental illness, death, and disability that affect us, our families, our neighbors, and our community at large.
A community's health status can be measured by:
Learning about and understanding the health of our community will enable the Georgia Regents Health System to be responsive to our community's health needs and to lead the way in promoting healthy behaviors and choices.
Health Indicators Resource
Area residents, students, healthcare and social service providers can access community health indicators for Richmond, Columbia, and Aiken Counties to learn more about leading health issues and socio-economic factors in our community.

This is an exchange between Fox and Friends Co-Hosts Alisyn Camerota and Steve Doocy on Shirley Sherrod, the day before Andrew Breitbart's truncated video clip was revealed to have shown the opposite of what actually occurred:
Camerota: She admits there that because the farmer was white, she doesn't extend her full helping hand to him, and she's touting this in this anecdote "touting this in this anecdote as though this is, you know, a feather in her cap, somehow, for her to be congratulated. I mean it's really a shocking admission. ... Perhaps everyone needs a refresher course on what racism looks like, I mean that is...
Monica Potts sat down and read the study Ross Douthat cited in his New York Times op-ed that led him to the conclusion that "the gatekeepers of elite education seem to incline against candidates who seem too stereotypically rural or right-wing or "Red America." Potts spoke to one of the authors and ultimately found a somewhat different conclusion:
A few months ago, I wrote that Andy McCarthy had crafted a "perfect mission statement for the torture wing of the GOP," in response to his argument against building the Islamic Center near Ground Zero that "in Mecca and Medina, there are not only no Christian churches, no synagogues, there are no non-Muslims, they're closed cities." I wrote:
There are a couple of things to think about in regards to Steny Hoyer's Gitmo cynicism. The first is that closing Gitmo, like passing health-care reform, is not something the president can do through sheer force of will. The second is that the complete lack of urgency in attempting to close Gitmo, from the administration and Democrats in Congress, cements the notion on the right that the Bush administration was unfairly smeared for lawless and counterproductive national-security policies and that hyperbolic criticisms of said policies from Democrats were nothing more than unprincipled, bare-knuckle politics.
The New York Times editorial page is a real bright spot when it comes to criminal-justice issues, and today's editorial on recently passed laws in several states that make it easier to hire the formerly incarcerated is no different:
The place once known as "Bad" Baker County, Georgia, Historian Taylor Branch explains in the first book of his three-volume history of the civil-rights movement, is where a rather infamous chapter in civil-rights history took place. It involves the establishment of a legal precedent adopted through the kind of pretzel logic typical of attempts at legal reasoning involving black people prior to the 1950s. An all-white federal jury convicted white Sheriff Claude Screws of conspiring to violate Robert Hall's civil rights when he murdered him.
I'll be traveling to Netroots Nation today, so there won't be as much blogging. In the meantime, you should check out my story on what happened to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
Ed O'Keefe provides some insight into the administration's decision making in the firing of Shirley Sherrod:
When this department was established in 1862 by Abraham Lincoln, he referred to it as the people's department," Vilsack told colleague Krissah Thompson in Feburary. "In order to be consistent with that legacy, it's necessary that our programs and our approach reflect an appreciation for everyone's rights. We took a look at [these] prior issues and are in the process of trying to address each of them."
For all the left's mocking of Andrew Breitbart, in the post-ACORN era the Obama administration seems to have taken a reflexive supine position on any selectively edited "bombshell" stories he happens to produce. In this case, Breitbart responded to the NAACP's request that the Tea Party purge the racist elements of its movement by releasing a selectively edited video (Breitbart claims he didn't edit it himself) of Shirley Sherrod, the USDA's development director of Georgia, telling an audience at an NAACP gathering she discriminated against a white farmer because he was white.
The administration's handling of the Shirley Sherrod matter is truly embarrassing.
The NAACP's response wasn't any better. Didn't we learn anything from the ACORN controversy?
Y'all have killed the funniness of the Old Spice guy.
Yesterday I wrote about Ross Douthat's column implicitly endorsing a calculus that reinforces the sort of racial resentment that benefits Republicans politically and often undermines liberal attempts to expand the social safety net (characterizing attempts to extend health insurance to an uninsured population that is almost half white is "reparations"). Dan Foster purports to respond, only to prove my point:
After my post on New York Gov. David Paterson signing a law getting rid of the NYPD's stop-and-frisk database, a reader e-mailed me to say that my statement that 80 percent of those stopped are black and Latino might actually be low. According to The New York Times' graph, the number is actually 87 percent.
John McWhorter, in a recent BloggingHeads episode, talks to Richard Thompson Ford about the "acting white" phenomenon.
Conservatives have sought to portray the plan to build an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero as a kind of end-zone dance on the part of Muslims worldwide, a celebration of the deaths caused by the 9/11 attacks. This doesn't really make much sense -- the organization building the center, the Cordoba House, is a moderate organization, and its leader, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, is known for his attempts to reconcile being a Muslim and being American. The necessary conclusion that one draws from the conservative argument is that there's no distinction between average Muslims and terrorists.
Almost nowhere else is there such a tight link between class and opinions about cutting government.
For the GOP, there's no real benefit in admitting Obamacare is working.
Liberals are exasperated with conservatives' unwillingness to acknowledge fact about health care, and other things. But they'd better get used to it.

Tips for making internships work for everybody!
05/11/2012 § 9 Comments
Even though it's still just midway through the fall semester, I'm already looking ahead to the transition from student-hood to professional life next summer. I know that my internship experience is one of the most fantastic things I've done so far to open the door into the working world, and I hope that most students will also take advantage of an internship during or shortly after a masters program.
That said, it's important for us to make a compelling case to the libraries where we hope to intern–hosting interns takes a sizable chunk of resources away from the day-to-day operations of many libraries, and library students should keep that in mind. Here are some tips for making your internship a win-win experience for everybody:
Be Intentional! When you are setting up your internship, know what you want to learn! Plan ahead, even before you look at host sites, to figure out what you hope to gain, and then try to design an experience that will get you those skills. Some internships don't work out simply because they aren't the right "fit" for a student, but if you can figure that out before the internship is started, you'll have a much better time.
Keep an Eye Out! Along with knowing what you hope to gain, try and find out why your host institution might need an intern–do they have specific projects that they want help with, or do they just want another pair of hands? Can you do things on a meta-level that will help them in the future, establishing practices that will pave the way for others?
Represent! You're in library school, which means you're the connection point between the academy and the practice of librarianship. Be respectful, of course, but if you're asked to give input, don't be shy! I had a few opportunities in my internship to do some trend-spotting, and help the library where I worked get a sense of what was coming down the pike in terms of necessary library skills and services. Take advantage of opportunities like that to find your voice.
Remember the rest of us! When you do have your internship nailed down, don't forget that there might be other students in the future who want to be exactly where you are. "Leave things better than you found them" is rather cliched, but it's good to keep in mind a secondary goal: When you leave, you want your host institution to be excited to hire another library student for a similar position. While "Professionalism" may mean different things to different people, and changes depending on the environment, try to get a bead on what your host organization expects, and live up to those standards.
As for actually getting the internship of your dreams, there are plenty of resources out there, both here and elsewhere, to get you started. Talking to your professors, your classmates, and your network (not to mention the trusty Google Search) can point you in the right direction, and from there you can start to narrow down your focus.
If you've already done an internship, what tips would you add? Even better, if you've hosted an intern, or are considering it, what do you like to see? Let us know in the comments.
§ 9 Responses to Tips for making internships work for everybody!
If your program keeps records of internship sites, review them for future interns so they may have a better idea of fit. For example, my site would be a much better fit for someone who is extroverted, fluent in Spanish, and more comfortable using cultural profiling in customer service than I am.
Similar to Amiee, I agree that if you do have a good internship experience, I would recommend mentioning it to an advisor at your school. My advisor kept a running list of sits where past students had interned and observed, which made it much easier to contact sites when I was looking for schools where I could fulfill my school media studies observation hours.
