Competition for the signature of Roma centre-back Mehdi Benatia remains high. Chelsea look to win the race for his services, while talk of an Adrien Rabiot swoop is gaining in momentum.
Benatia is being courted by Manchester United and Bayern Munich, with Football Italia claiming that the Germans sit in pole position to clinch his services.
According to the report, the Moroccan will complete his €30 million move to Bavaria on Monday, giving Pep Guardiola his replacement for Javi Martinez, ruled out for six months through injury.
Earlier this month, Roma boss Rudi Garcia was quoted by Football Italia in being confident that Benatia would remain in the Italian capital:
It's normal, we are in different worlds. Yours is to find hidden things that sometimes are not there. Yesterday I read that he had 99 per cent signed for a club and today he is 99 per cent staying at Roma. Yesterday I was looking for a replacement, today I am not. There will be time for Benatia to talk. As long as you speak of this story it will be difficult. Anyway, thank you, I really enjoy this.
Benatia has steadily built his reputation as one of Serie A's finest defenders, but Jose Mourinho's desire to sign the powerful presence may be one transfer aspiration too far.
Tancredi Palmeri of beIN Sports claims that the Giallorossi's valuation of their defender is yet to be met by United or Bayern:
Benatia situation: stalemate. Nor Manchester United nor Bayern making the raise requested by Roma; Roma not stepping back— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) August 22, 2014
Elsewhere, Chelsea remain locked in a battle to sign Paris Saint-Germain wantaway Adrien Rabiot, who has rejected a new deal at Parc des Princes and is supposedly heading for the exit.
The Express' David Wright says it would cost just £9.5 million to sign the youngster, with PSG manager Laurent Blanc quoted in the report as confessing, "I believe he [Rabiot] will leave, but I can't tell you where. Rabiot has received a good [contract] offer from PSG but apparently it doesn't interest him. It's a shame."
The midfield talent is now in the final year of his contract, hence the affordable fee now being linked with his services.
However, Jonathan Johnson of ESPN FC notes that the player's mother and agent Veronique will drive a hard bargain with any club wishing to sign her son:
@TheCalcioGuy Dealing with Rabiot's mother, Veronique, will probably age Galliani & Berlusconi so much that it puts them in the ground!— Jonathan Johnson (@Jon_LeGossip) August 22, 2014
The Blues' ranks are already bustling with young, up-and-coming talent, but Mourinho may not pass up on the opportunity to add another prospect with a cut-price deal on the table.
Rabiot's rebellion reduces the amount needed to prise his talents away from the French capital, but one has to question a player's attitude in such circumstances and whether or not it represents the kind of ethics one wants in his or her own squad, irrespective of potential.

Craig Strickland's family and friends have not given up hope he's alive.
While the search for Strickland continues after he went missing during a duck hunting trip that claimed the life of his friend Chase Morland, Strickland's family is taking a little bit of comfort in the fact that his beloved black lab Sam, who was also on the trip, was found safe and sound, walking the bank of the Arkansas river.
"Craig's dog being found alive is a very good sign," Strickland's friend and Backroad Anthem bandmate Toby Freeman tells PEOPLE. "That's a piece of hope that we're actually clinging on to.
"Dog being man's best friend is a saying that's so common, but it's actually so true in this case," he says. "Sam's an older lab and for him to make it in such harsh conditions – it's just so amazing and we're clinging on to that."
For everyone wanting to know, Sam is fine. He was a brave boy. He wouldn't leave Chase's body until the Warden found him.— Helen Strickland (@HelenWisner) December 29, 2015
Craig's dog Sam. pic.twitter.com/W09bACtsyy— Helen Strickland (@HelenWisner) December 29, 2015
The family has gathered at the search site northwest of Tulsa and is praying they find Strickland, 29, alive.
"Craig and his dad Randy are so close. They pretty much do everything together when he's home," says Freeman. "They are a very faith-based family. God is their center. I know Randy's clinging to hope, but his heart is just broken. It's such a gut-wrenching accident and it's so tragic. His wife Helen is struggling so much, she's just hoping and praying that they find Craig."
Everyone meet Sam.. Thankful for this best friend I've had for 8 years.. He's an old man now, still brings back ducks pic.twitter.com/98lFSVo9Bq— Craig Strickland (@BackroadCRAIG) December 28, 2014
The search is called for the night-will resume in the morning. We are overwhelmed with the love and prayers we have received. Thank you all.— Helen Strickland (@HelenWisner) December 30, 2015
Though a meteorologist told the family the wind in the area where Strickland's small duck hunting boat was found capsized was gusting up to 45 mph and the wind chill put the temperature under 20 degrees, Freeman says it wouldn't be out of character for Strickland to pull through such harrowing conditions.
"Anything that Craig put his mind to he could accomplish," says Freeman. "He's so passionate about his wife, his family, the band – he had a fire in him for the things he loved."

A Corpus-Based Approach to Gerundial and Infinitival Complementation in Spanish ESL Writing
Date: May 2011
Creator: Martinez-Garcia, Maria Teresa
Description: This paper examines the use of infinitival and gerundial constructions by intermediate Spanish learners. The use of those two patterns creates problems for second language learners at intermediate and advanced levels. However, there are only few studies on their second language acquisition, and fewer focus on Spanish learners. This study tries to resolve this and to this end, I retrieved all hits of the two constructions from the Spanish component of the International Learner Corpus of English (SP-ICLE). I run a distinctive collexeme analysis (DCA) to identify the verbs that are associated with either pattern. The results are discussed at three different levels: (i) the identification of verbs that Spanish learners associate with each construction; (ii) a systematic comparison with previous studies on native speakers to show possible similarities/discrepancies; and (iii) a comparison of the results with findings on German learners to discuss possible effects of language similarity and transfer.

Directions Toward a "Happy Place": Metaphor in Conversational Discourse
Date: December 2011
Creator: Edwards, Jonathan Ryan
Description: This paper aims to show how people use and understand metaphorical language in conversational discourse. Specifically, I examine how metaphorical language has the potential to be either effective or ineffective in its usage, and how they are bound to the contextual environment of the conversation. This particular setting is a conversation between a researcher and a participant involved in a therapeutic program. Metaphorical language is shown to be helpful for understanding difficult subjects; however, I found most metaphorical occurrences ineffective in meaning-making. Often these ineffective metaphors are elaborated or repeated throughout the discourse event, creating problems with cohesion and understanding. Metaphor use in conversation is an effective rhetorical tool for creating meaning, but it is also a problematic device when it comes to aligning participants' conversational goal.

Exposing Deep-rooted Anger: A Metaphor Pattern Analysis of Mixed Anger Metaphors
Date: August 2011
Creator: Barron, Andrew T.
Description: This project seeks to serve two purposes: first, to investigate various semantic and grammatical aspects of mixed conceptual metaphors in reference to anger; and secondly, to explore the potential of a corpus-based, TARGET DOMAIN-oriented method termed metaphor pattern analysis to the study of mixed metaphor. This research shows that mixed metaphors do not pattern in a manner consistent with statements made within conceptual metaphor theory. These metaphors prove highly dynamic in their combinability and resist resonance between SOURCE DOMAINS used. Also shown is the viability of metaphor pattern analysis as a methodology to approach mixed metaphor research.

NNS Use of Adverbs in Academic Writing
Date: August 2011
Creator: Heidler, Linda E.
Description: Recent studies have begun to redefine the idea of accuracy in second language acquisition to include not only grammatical correctness, but also native-like selection. This is an exploratory study aimed at identifying areas of nonnative-like selection of adverbs, such as sentence position, semantic category preferences, frequency of use and breadth of word choice. Using corpus-linguistic methods it compares the writing of nonnative English speakers at an intermediate and advanced level to both American college students' writing and published academic writing. It also conducts in-depth case studies of three of the most commonly used adverbs. It finds that while advanced students are grammatically accurate, there are still several ways in which their use of adverbs differs from that of native speakers.

Processing Instruction and Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling: A Study of Input in the Second Language Classroom
Date: May 2011
Creator: Foster, Sarah Jenne
Description: This paper reports a study of VanPatten's processing instruction (PI) and Ray's TPRS. High school students in a beginning Spanish course were divided into three groups (PI, TPRS, and control) and instructed in forms using the Spanish verb gustar. Treatment included sentence-level and discourse-level input, and tests included interpretation and production measures in a pretest, an immediate posttest, and a delayed posttest given two and a half months following treatment. The PI group made the greatest gains in production measures and in a grammaticality judgment test, and the TPRS group made the greatest gains in written fluency. The PI group's statistical gains in production measures held through the delayed posttest.

Product Overview
This Enterprise poster is a blast! True Steroescopic 3-D without High-quality lenticular printing! Firing Phasers have you in their crosshairs! You've Never Seen Star Trek Like This! Using the latest in digital technology combined with ultra-high-quality lenticular printing, this image of the Enterprise NCC-1701 features true steroescopic 3-D and no special 3D glasses are needed! This lenticular print displays the Enterprise firing its Phasers. The print features breathtaking sharpness and color and measures 10-inches tall x 17-inches wide. The prints is suitable for wall display. Initially one of only twelve Constitution-class heavy cruisers constructed by Starfleet, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 went on to become one of the Federation's most celebrated and iconic starships. Five different captains were given command of the Enterprise during her decades of service: Robert April, Christopher Pike, James T. Kirk, Willard Decker, and Spock. Although each of these men had notable careers in Starfleet, it was under the command of Captain (and later Admiral) Kirk that the U.S.S. Enterprise became legendary. James Tiberius Kirk's five-year mission was marked with significant milestones in the history of the United Federation of Planets. Kirk and his crew were the first Starfleet officers to encounter the Romulans in a century after the Earth/Romulan war that led to the founding of the Federation. When the Organian Peace Treaty with the Klingons was signed, it was Kirk and the Enterprise who were in the middle of it. Kirk and the Enterprise crew also made first contact with such alien races as the Gorn, the Metrons, the Horta, the Kelvins, the Melkotians, the Vians, and the Excalbians. On more than one occasion, Kirk and his crew saved entire planets, star systems, and even the Federation itself from threats ranging from a rogue asteroid to a deadly planet-devouring doomsday weapon, from a giant space amoeba to the opening of a doorway into an antimatter universe that could annihilate our own. Along the way, the Enterprise was used to test the first multitronic computer unit to be installed on a starship, ventured beyond the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, and even discovered a way to utilize a warp slingshot around a star to travel through time itself. Through these and other incredible achievements, James T. Kirk and his crew ensured that history would never forget the name, Enterprise.

AR accuracy

> AR accuracy

Quick AR question. Are AR builds as accurate as factory assembled AR's?
If you enjoyed reading about "AR accuracy" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!
March 24, 2008, 09:44 PM
I own 4 AR's. 2 rifles 2 carbines. 2 factory 2 builds. No difference in accuracy. It is one of the easiest firearms to build and one of the most accurate semi autos around.
March 24, 2008, 09:50 PM
I will keep my words short and allow the pictures to speak a thousand or so words:
3 shots at 100 yards, using bi-pod, sandbags, sling and benchrest. Scope is a Leupold Vari-X III 4.5-14X 40AO. DPMS LR-.308 AP4 w/steel upper, 18' AP4 barrel with match chamber:
March 24, 2008, 09:50 PM
Also, is a 24in barrel any more accurate than a 20in barrel?
March 24, 2008, 10:08 PM
No, but it will yield higher velocity, so it may be better for long range.
March 25, 2008, 12:48 AM
I was only able to muster this target last Saturday with my self-rebarrelled Compass Lake upper receiver (replaced barrel, front sight base assembly, gas tube, and BCG with WOA parts).
10 shots at 200 meters (218.7 yards). Slow fire, standing, unsupported.
The 10-ring is 7" on the NRA SR target, so that group is a lousy 4MOA give or take...
Seriously, custom built ARs (whether professionally built or self-built) are going to be better than the factory off the shelf ARs. Just use quality parts.
March 25, 2008, 12:53 AM
The straight answer to that is....it depends...
It depends on the components used for the build and the person building it...and the ammo they use.
Barrel length only affects sight radius...meaning its easier to aim a longer barrel....most of the time longer barrels are actually less accurate...benchrest shooters have known this for quite some time.
March 25, 2008, 01:12 AM
4 MOA offhand groups at 200m are pretty darn good shooting in my book, but they probably aren't a good indicator of what the rifle is capable of.
April 6, 2008, 05:53 PM
As I get closer to the purchase of my AR, I just thought I would bring this up again and ask another question. It seems that the 24" vs. the 20" as far as accuracy are the same. How about a 20" or 24" vs. a carbine length AR for accuracy?
April 6, 2008, 06:13 PM
Also, which twist will yeild higher accuracy with 55gr loads, 1 in 7 or 1 in 10
April 6, 2008, 06:15 PM
18' AP4 barrel with match chamber
No wonder it's so accurate, you only had 82' left to shoot! :D

on December 7, 2012 - 12:01 AM
Let's start with Tom Fontana and David Milch, the two members of the mind-boggling cadre of revolutionary Buffalo TV writers still eminently visible in their profession.
The interviews with both in Alan Sepinwall's self-published "The Revolution Was Televised" (Sepinwall, 388 pages, $16.99 paperback) are revelatory and the best you will ever read. Even if you have devoured every jot, tittle and comma by every writer in Buffalo who ever typed their names somewhere, you have never read anything a fraction as informative as what you will find in "The Revolution Was Televised."
How and why was "Deadwood" canceled? And "Luck?" A much fuller story than you have ever known is in Sepinwall's book, including details of the incompatibility of Milch's chaotic, last-minute creative "process" � a high-wire act requiring his casts to wobble on the wire with him � with that of his supposed partner Michael Mann, who, if Sepinwall is to be believed, effectively canceled Milch out, resulting in "Luck" taking far longer to get started than it should have.
Have you, for instance, wondered just why it is that Milch's scripts abound in dialogue that sounds like horribly translated German, with clauses and modifiers clumped in inverse order to where our language prefers them?
"Sentences constructed in a familiar straightforward manner were replaced with jargon mixed with clauses placed seemingly out of order. � Milch acknowledges now that the dialogue could sound like a �snake swallowing its own tail' and says that the odd but memorable sentence construction was the �byproduct of the way I was working. It would have been a distortion of the process and the way I was working for the characters to have spoken any other way.' "
The "way I was working" involved rewrites right up to shooting and "hoping the actors could keep up."
Here is what actor Jim Beaver told Sepinwall: "It's no wonder that some actors might have difficulty with his process. But I thrilled in it. It was like going over Niagara [Falls] in a barrel every morning with all the fear intact, yet with a subdued voice in my head whispering �David won't let you die.' "
That, I submit, is great journalism about television. And that's what "The Revolution Was Televised" is � a book that fulfills in the 21st century that promise made by television criticism in the 1970s, when Michael Arlen was writing extraordinary essays about television in the New Yorker, James Wolcott was at the Village Voice, ex-Buffalonian Gary Deeb (before his professional self-immolation) was standing TV on its head from Chicago and people such as Ron Powers and William Henry were given Pulitzer Prizes as a tentative way for the journalistic establishment to try to represent it all.
As television itself got increasingly better after its most shocking, transformative executive change � the hiring of MTM's Grant Tinker as the �berhoncho of NBC programming � the critics' profession seemed to submerge itself in metric tedium and keyhole histories that could be turned into HBO movies.
"The Revolution Was Televised" is the best book by a journalist on American television that I've read in at least 20 years. It's as eccentric in its way as a piece of Milch dialogue stuffed into a rewrite in the 23rd hour of a 24-hour writer's workday. Paragraphs and footnotes alternate wildly with each other sometimes, as if Sepinwall were haunted by the ghost of David Foster Wallace.
And that may account for why Sepinwall himself is publishing it, rather than Random House or Knopf or Norton or Simon and Schuster or Farrar, Straus and Giroux. If so, it's a major opportunity lost by American publishing � the right writer on the right subject, one that has been lying dramatically in plain sight for years.
This is a very 21st century TV critic � a young and brilliant one with his own blog ("What's Alan Watching?") who got his newspaper start at the Newark Star-Ledger. And this is a very 21st century book about television whose premise is that in his time he has seen "a big bang of sorts" in the TV universe, "one that would greatly expand the boundaries of this universe and the way we viewed it."
TV was transforming itself in front of us.
On Sepinwall's list of nova and galaxies in this universe are: "The Sopranos," "Oz," "The Wire," "Deadwood," "The Shield," "Lost," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "24," "Battlestar Galactica," "Friday Night Lights," "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad."
Sepinwall's subtitle for "The Revolution Was Televised" is "The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever."
It takes nothing away from Sepinwall's book to observe that that's very much an orthodox list of unorthodox television.
I disagree with many of the shows Sepinwall accords chapters to � and wonder where "CSI" is and where in heaven's name are the extraordinary less-watched Showtime counterparts to the HBO shows to which he was clearly given top-to-bottom access: "Huff," and, above all, "Brotherhood" and the current hit "Homeland."
But what Sepinwall is doing here is vastly more important than, say, a New York Times reporter's history of late-night executive follies featuring Jay Leno hiding out in a bathroom as an earwitness to his fate (as readable as Bill Carter's books on Leno/Letterman and Leno/O'Brien have clearly been).
It's entirely understandable that what we've got here is a book by a blogger forced to self-publish. You have no idea how much healthier a statement could have been made by a blogger lavishly published by a major literary publisher that offered the writer the most sensitive and challenging editor it had.
A book full of illustrations. And an index. All the accoutrements of a book that deserves to hang around for years, even decades. That's what Sepinwall's book seems to be to me, even though it looks like something thrown over the transom by a guy on a bicycle riding home to catch the latest episode of "Scandal" on DVR.
It would wake up the world of TV criticism from its long metric, keyhole-peeping nap to start, with suitably full intelligence, dealing with what's in front of us every week.
In the meantime, the book exists in all its ultrasmart hyperbole and eye- and brain-opening glory.

- Arsenal round up: Alexis Sanchez agrees £150,000-a-week deal to join the Gunners?
- Manchester United round up: Ricardo Rodriguez a target for Reds to fill left-back role?
- Liverpool round up: Roma open negotiations over Xherdan Shaqiri
- Luis Suarez transfer: Barca move to be completed in next 48 hours
Welcome folks, to another wonderful day of transfer news and what not.
Apparently, there was some fixture in Brazil last night where German's ran riot on a field in Belo Horizonte and some bloke called Shirley scored twice? Do we have that right?
We couldn't pay attention to that as we went in search of more transfer gossip, news, rumour and all sorts of other goodness.
Hey, the World Cup ends on Sunday, transfers are here until the end of August....It's a long-term thing!
Anyway, today we're expecting to see some more moving. Probably some more shaking as well.
So sit back. Relax. And let the good times roll.
Here we go!
Alexis Sanchez has reportedly agreed a £150,000-a-week deal to move to the Emirates Stadium.
That would put the Chilean on a par with record signing Mesut Ozil in North London.
Also, Serge Aurier has played down links to the club - but he still wants a Premier League move.
And Mario Manduzkic won't be heading to the Premier League. The Croatian is set for Atletico Madrid.
According to Wolfsburger Allgemeinen in Germany, VFL Wolfsburg have received an offer from United for Swiss left-back Ricardo Rodriguez.
The highly-rated defender starred for the Swiss at the World Cup, and has proven himself one of the Bundesliga's best young talents in recent years
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs has previously promised that the Wolves won't be selling any of their World Cup stars, but the Red Devils are looking to test the German club's resolve.
Liverpool target Xherdan Shaqiri has emerged as a target for Italian club AS Roma.
The Giallorossi have spending money ahead of a Champions League return, and with their American owners looking to make a splash, they have entered the race for the Swiss star.
According to Sky Italia, they have begun negotiations with Bayern Munich over the attacking midfielder.
Additionally, German club Schalke have declared that they've had no contact with the Reds over striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Steven Caulker has held talks with both QPR and Crystal Palace but is still considering his options.
The Cardiff captain was given permission to speak to both Premier League clubs after they met his £8million release clause at relegated City.
He has had meetings with both Rangers chief Harry Redknapp and Eagles boss Tony Pulis.
Redknapp is dangling the possibility of partnering QPR target Rio Ferdinand.
But ambitious former Spurs centre-back Caulker, 22, is waiting to see if Liverpool come in for him as he played for Brendan Rodgers on loan at Swansea.
Southampton are also monitoring Caulker as the Reds wants Saints defender Dejan Lovren.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma have set a July 21 deadline for anyone interested in defender Mehdi Benatia.
The Moroccan international starred for the Giallorossi last season, but wants to join Manchester City this summer.
He is currently training alone, having grown upset with the club's stance after contract negotiations didn't go his way - despite Walter Sabatini declaring him worth €63million.
Why July 21 I hear you cry?
Well that's the day that both City and Ashley Cole's new club head to the United States on their respective pre-season tours.

ICYMI last night, German midfield metronome Toni Kroos - part of *that* World Cup destruction - is joining Real Madrid, according to Bild.
The Bayern Munich man, who scored twice last night in Germany's 7-1 rout of the World Cup hosts, has reportedly agreed a five-year deal with Los Blancos, and an announcement will be forthcoming after the conclusion of the tournament in Brazil.
Kroos has one-year left on his contract at the Allianz Arena, but Bayern have decided to sell now, and Kroos will reportedly earn €12million-a-year (which supposedly equates tpo €6million after tax.)
Spanish daily Marca have joined in with this story, stating that he'll be presented as a new Real Madrid player next week.
Bayern Munich have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid over the sale of Mario Mandzukic.
The Croatian international top-scored at the Allianz Arena last season, but is surplus to requirements following a fall-out with Pep Guardiola and the arrival of Robert Lewandowski.
During a press conference today, Sammer revealed: "There is a verbal agreement between FC Bayern, Atletico Madrid and Mario Mandzukic,
"We wish to thank Mario for his performances at Bayern and wish him all the best for the future."
Colombia World Cup star Juan Cuadrado says his future is uncertain.
The 26-year-old starred for his country at the World Cup, following an excellent season with Fiorentina last term.
The Viola - who shared him on a co-ownership deal with Udinese - obtained full rights to the player last month, however Cuadrado isn't certain that his future will be with Vincenzo Montella's side.
"I don't know yet what will happen," he is quoted as saying in the Manchester Evening News.
"At this moment I haven't received any concrete offers from any club. You read a lot of things in the press, but at the moment there is nothing concrete.
"I'm not in a hurry to decide my future. We'll see what happens.
"Wherever I play I will try to give my best in every match."
Our man David Anderson has been tweeting some interesting thoughts today.
And he says Mario Mandzukic's move to Atletico Madrid means Alvaro Negredo is staying at Manchester City.
Negredo starred during the start of last season's Premier League campaign, but fell flat during the second half of the campaign - costing him his World Cup place.

Luis Suarez is set to complete his move from Liverpool to Barcelona in the next 48 hours.
Reports in Spain claim Liverpool have finally agreed a fee for the bad-boy Uruguay striker, however Anfield sources say nothing will happen before Friday at the earliest.
Suarez has remained in Uruguay since being kicked out of the World Cup for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini and it is understood he is having his Barcelona medical in South America.
Barcelona's medical team have flown to Brazil to assess the back injury to Neymar, which ended his World Cup against Colombia, and will then check out Suarez.
Fulham have completed the signing of Kostas Stafylidis.
The Greek full-back moved to Craven Cottage on a season-long loan deal from German club Bayer Leverkusen.
Stafylidis, 20, has one international cap to his name.

German defender Matthias Ginter will NOT be joining Borussia Dortmund, according to current club Freiburg.
The 20-year-old defender is currently on World Cup duty in Brazil and BVB general manager Michael Zork recently told Kicker that Dortmund were making "a final bid" for the youngster.
However, Freiburg say they remain some way off sealing a deal, as they can't agree over the terms.
"We have been in touch with Borussia Dortmund," Freiburg director Jochen Saier told Bild.
"We were having different points of view on the details of a deal. As far as I am concerned, we still have those different points of view."
Sticking in Germany...

According to the Guardian, Swansea forward Michu is heading to Napoli on a season-long loan.
The Spaniard scored 22 goals in his debut season with the Swans in 2012-13, after arriving from Rayo Vallecano for £2.2million.
However, injuries disrupted his second season, and he made just 15 starts.
Now he looks set to join Rafa Benitez's Italian side - having been left behind as Swansea head to the United States on their pre-season tour.
Galatasaray have told Manchester United they can have Wesley Sneijder for £16million.
Sneijder, 30, was a long-standing target for United towards the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's reign before he joined Galatasaray from Inter Milan.
The midfielder has fuelled speculation he could be moving to Old Trafford by claiming he would find it hard to resist an offer from his Holland boss Louis van Gaal to play under him at United.
Gala president Unal Aysal claims he would not stand in Sneijder's way if United pay his release fee of £16million.
"Sneijder is a good player," he said. "We want to keep him at Galatasaray.
"If Galatasaray receive an offer of 20 million euros, we do not have the luxury of saying no. That is stipulated in the contract.
"All I can say is that if any club pays us 20 million euros and he wants to go, we can't force him to stay because it is written in the contract."
One for supporters of Championship clubs...
The agent of Rotherham's Kieran Agard has confirmed that his client has turned down a contract extension with the Millers.
Agard, 24, starred for the League One play-off winners last term, netting 21 goals and he has been linked with a number of clubs.
But agent Lee Payne told Sky Sports: "We can confirm that Kieran has rejected Rotherham's offer of a contract extension."
The Daily Star are reporting that Man United will undergo a fire-sale in the coming 6 weeks.
And while it's not quite 'Everything must go' it isn't all that far off for LvG.
£27million flop idol Marouane Fellaini will be heading through the exit door and both Nani and Ashley Young could join him.
Additionally, Japanese international Shinji Kagawa could also be sold, with The Star reckoning Mats Hummels and Angel Di Maria are being eyed by the Dutchman.
Aston Villa have confirmed that Nicklas Helenius has returned to former club Aalborg on a season-long loan.
The Danish striker made just six appearances last season after his arrival, and managed just one goal.
Paul Lambert is eyeing new striking talent this summer as he bids to improve on a side that slipped dangerously close to relegation last term.
Lazio have declared that World Cup record scorer Miroslav Klose will NOT be sold this summer.
"Now we have a champion who has scored the most goals in World Cups," Lazio president Claudio Lotito said, speaking to Italian radio station Rai Due.
"The figure he had to reach, he has already done so, regardless of whether or not he scores in the final.
"In order to receive offers for a player, he must be placed on the market and Klose is not for sale."

The history of one of Ibiza's finest tapas bars, El Rincon de Pepe in San Antonio, straddles five decades. At the time when young Pepe Rosello opened the bar in 1962 San Antonio was still a small fishing village with quiet streets and was just being noticed on the tourist map.
Since then, much has been changed in San Antonio and the rest of the island by the arrival of mass tourism. Thankfully, El Rincon de Pepe has remained constant through the years.
The quality of its tapas, wines, beers and service is still as high as it was nearly 40 years ago, the only changes have been in the hair and waist-lines of the staff! As a customer for the last 21 years I reckon they've helped my waistline grow and prosper too!
Tapas, small portions of meat, fish or vegetables, are the perfect introduction to Spanish cuisine. Costing only a few Euros, you can taste and try and if you don't like anything it's no great financial loss And you can quickly order something else to replace it.
They're also ideal if you're travelling solo - just pull up a stool at the bar and you'll soon get into conversation with your neighbours – or even better for a group meal, sharing a bottle or two of wine and a table laden with dishes is great fun.
Perhaps the best thing about such a typically Ibicenco place is its cosmopolitan atmosphere.
You can be sharing the bar with old Ibicencos who've been going in for years, and as their website says, "island residents, passing tourists, artists, politicians, businessmen, fashion-designers, and an endless number of people, all seeking the simplicity of its ambiance and its good food. Perhaps 'social oasis' is the name which best describes it."
It really is an 'Ibiza must do' for anyone visiting the island and is easily found in San Antonio's Calle San Mateo which is just off the 'Fountains Square' near the taxis.

Concord Hospitality Sells 13-Hotel Portfolio for $240M
Monday April 21st, 2014 - 9:19AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
RALEIGH, NC—Concord Hospitality Enterprises has sold a portfolio of 13 premium-branded, select-service hotels to companies owned by a global investment fund for approximately $240 million in an all-cash transaction.
Concord will continue to operate the hotels under a long-term management agreement. The portfolio is comprised of a total of 1,650 rooms representing 11 Marriott and two Hilton-branded hotels.
"This sale is a continuation of our on-going plan to strategically sell stabilized assets while retaining management," stated Mark Laport, president and CEO of Concord Hospitality. "This gives our investors an attractive return on their development investment while providing long-term, sustainable growth opportunities for the companies that buy these assets."
Laport added, "With the exception of one hotel, the average age of the hotels is under five years old, and all were developed, rebranded or substantially updated by Concord, so they bring with them our reputation for quality construction and adding value through best in class sales and operations management. Each hotel is in excellent physical condition, and we are working closely with the brands to implement any necessary Product Improvement Plans (PIP) to ensure the hotels sustain strong RevPAR premiums well into the future."
Mark Elliott of Hodges Ward Elliott was the lead broker in the transaction. According to Laport, Concord will continue to focus its acquisition and development efforts in locations with high or growing concentrations of medical, educational, banking and technology industries, while growing its third party management sector through retained management of sold assets and strategic alliances with other ownership groups.

Storage Foundation 5.1SP1 for AIX has formally introduced support for creation of Logcal Volume Manager (LVM) volume groups (VGs) on top of Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) pseudo devices. This extends the proven benefits of DMP, previously only available when using Veritas Volume Manager disk groups, to LVM logical volume groups. In addition, it is also possible to migrate an existing systems rootvg (root volume group) and all logical volumes it contains away from traditional hdisk devices onto DMP metanodes. The machine will then boot from DMP devices, with these devices able to take advantage of the features offered by the DMP product. Such support is termed 'DMP rootability'.
DMP Memory Pool:
When building LVM volume groups on top of DMP devices, it is required that the DMP driver is able to allocate memory to service I/O requests coming from LVM devices. If DMP cannot allocate memory for a given I/O request, it follows that it will not be able to service that I/O request.
To try and ensure that the DMP driver is always able to allocate memory for incoming I/O requests, an initial pool of DMP memory is assigned to the driver at system boot time. The DMP driver can then make allocations as required from this pool. Likewise should the initially allocated pool not be of sufficient size to handle all concurrent I/O requests, the pool can be dynamically grown to a pre-determined maximum size. Note that when using DMP 5.1SP1 or later, this pool is created using native AIX ldata pools. Prior to this release the pool is created as a slab via the slab allocator. Regardless of the method of creation used, the pool and tunables discussed by this document operate in a similar manner on all releases.
There are two tunables to manage the pool created for use by the DMP driver:
dmpslab_minsz - specifies the size of pool in 4Kb pages which should be created for the DMP driver at boot time
dmpslab_maxsz - specifies the maximum size in 4Kb pages to which the pool can dynamically grow
Note that dmpslab_maxsz must be greater than or equal to dmpslab_minsz. dmpslab_maxsz defaults to 5% of physical memory or 146Mb/37500 pages (whichever is smaller), and dmpslab_minsz defaults to 192Kb/48 pages from 5.1SP1RP1 onwards.
On a system with 12Gb of physical memory, the tunables will have the following default values as shown via the lsattr command:
# lsattr -El vxdmp | grep dmpslab
dmpslab_maxsz 37500 N/A True
dmpslab_minsz 48 N/A True
On a machine using the above settings we can say that an initial pool of (4Kb * 48) 192Kb will be allocated to the DMP driver at boot time, and that this pool can dynamically grow to a maximum of (4Kb * 37500) 150000Kb whilst the system is running. Note that the pool only needs to be large enough for the DMP driver to make allocations to handle all concurrent I/O requests (IOPS) taking place on the system. As such, on a system with relatively small I/O load it is expected that the pool may not grow significantly larger than initially allocated.
Tuning dmpslab_maxsz and dmpslab_minsz:
dmpslab_minsz is set to 48 pages or 192Kb which is sufficient to serve 512 IOPS.
dmpslab_maxsz is set to 146Mb or 5% of system memory (whichever is smaller). Considering a machine with 12Gb of physical memory 5% of physical memory is 614Mb hence dmpslab_maxsz will be set to 146Mb. 146Mb (37500 pages) is sufficient to serve 400,000 IOPS.
Once the initial dmppool is allocated, depending on the number of outstanding I/O requests on the system, the dmppool is grown dynamically until it reaches dmpslab_maxsz.
To determine the values of dmpslab_minsz, dmpslab_maxsz, and current dmppool size, the vxmemstat command can be used as shown below. Note that this command is only available from the 5.1SP1 release onwards and shows values in Kb:
# vxmemstat
Pool DG Min Max In Allocated Max Waiting
Size Size Use Used
---------- ------- -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- -------
dmppool - 196608 153600000 - 196608 - -
dmpslab_minsz and dmpslab_maxsz can be modified via smitty in the following locations:
smitty vxvm => Change / Show DMP Tunables => Total Maximum Pages for dmp slab (dmpslab_maxsz)
smitty vxvm => Change / Show DMP Tunables => Total Minimum Pages for dmp slab (dmpslab_minsz)
Alternatively the tunables can also be modified using the chdev command:
# chdev -P -l vxdmp -a dmpslab_maxsz=newsize
# chdev -P -l vxdmp -a dmpslab_minsz=newsize
According to design, the new tunable value should be (current value of tunable value + 8 * (positive integer)). Note that regardless of whether using smitty or chdev to modify tunables all values are given in number of 4Kb pages to allocate. Changes made to the tunables are persistent and stored in the AIX ODM.
Once modified, the machine must be rebooted to use the new values assigned to the tunables.

Aruba Networks (UNKNOWN: ARUN.DL ) is following closely on the heels of a recent share repurchase initiative with a new one. The company announced that its board of directors has authorized a fresh buyback plan for up to $100 million of its common stock, which replaces a recently expired initiative of the same amount. The spent program was approved in June 2012 and essentially completed -- following a $100 million expansion -- this past July.
The company said it will fund the new program from available working capital. At the end of its most recently reported quarter, it had almost $145 million in cash and equivalents.
At the moment, Aruba Networks has a little more than 115 million shares outstanding, and its stock most recently closed at $19.38 per share.

Skip to comments.'Marksman' Or 'Expert' Rating No Big Deal In Army, Soldiers Point Out
Posted on 10/28/2002 12:38:49 PM PST by Stand Watch Listen
Qualifying as an "expert marksman" is no extraordinary achievement for soldiers in the Army.
In basic training and usually once a year, soldiers have to qualify with their service weapon. To earn their "expert" badge, they've got to hit 36 out of 40 targets from distances of 50 to 300 meters, officials said.
Soldiers and former soldiers said it's not a particularly tough test. And they said it shouldn't be read as any indication that D.C. sniper suspect John Muhammad achieved any unusual level of proficiency during his time in the Army.
"This expert badge this guy got is completely meaningless," said Gene Econ, a retired infantry major who trains soldiers in marksmanship. "The public needs to know that in the Army, that's pretty much meaningless."
Shooting a rifle, using camouflage and concealment are among the fundamental skills that all soldiers learn in their nine weeks of basic training, soldiers, veterans and Army officials said.
"You shoot from different positions at different targets," Spc. Vicente Hidalgo said Thursday after a haircut at Bell's Barber Shop II in Tillicum. "You learn aiming, breathing and holding the weapon steady."
He said 95 percent of soldiers pass the basic rifle marksmanship course. Others said about one in five qualify as expert.
"They train you on that a lot," said Hidalgo, who works in the pharmacy at Madigan Army Medical Center. "There are a few people who are too nervous to do it."
After the course, he said, anybody would be able to shoot a target 100 yards away - the range from which the D.C. sniper is reported to have shot his victims.
Don Kell, 63, an Army and Vietnam veteran from Tillicum, agreed, saying he can hit "a nickel or even a dime from 100 yards away."
While in the Army, Kell said, he qualified with several firearms including M-1 and M-16 rifles.
The Pentagon said Muhammad, a combat engineer, qualified expert on the M-16 and with hand grenades. He was last stationed at Fort Lewis in 1994.
Qualifying as an expert marksman and becoming a sniper are "apples and oranges," said Lt. Col. Stephen Barger, the Fort Lewis spokesman.
Sniper training involves a lot more than shooting, officials said. Candidates are put through a five-week course, screened for psychiatric and emotional problems, and must have advanced infantry skills.
Soldiers with disciplinary problems are kicked out of the program, officials said.
Muhammad did not receive sniper training in the Army, the Pentagon said in a news release.
"This guy's ability to point a rifle barrel, hit a 20-inch-by-30-inch target from 100 yards, firing with the barrel stabilized with a tripod ... there's no marksmanship ability involved in that at all," said Econ, who helps train snipers at Fort Lewis. "There is a sick, demented, murdering brain that will never be cured."
That's about right. The news that qualifying "expert" is somehow a gimme would come as a surprise to a great many soldiers seeking additional promotion points, or the Expert Infantry Badge. 36 of 40 is tough, and usually requires many trips to the range and several hundred rounds.
The DC shooter wasn't a "sniper" - but he was a competent marskman. Every "expert" that climbs on the "my grandma can shoot better" bandwagon is doing a disservice to the training profession.
If it's that easy, we certainly don't need "experts" to train our soldiers or police, they can get all the training they need from reading Soldier Of Fortune.
This article is cr*p.
I spent 9 years in the army. I always fired expert. In fact in Basic Training I fired a perfect 40. And I'm mighty proud of it, too. In order to do that I had to hit about 4 (if I remember right) targets that were 300 meters distant.
The part that is true about the article is that the expert badge is meaningless. I know for a fact that there was quite a bit of cheating at the range. Since range scores translate directly to promotion points, a good score is important. And since scoring is done by your buddy, a good score is easily achievable.
But to make a blanket statement that the expert badge is meaningless, bothers me to a certain extent. Many of the expert badges out there are meaningless because they're not genuine. My badge is genuine and therefor I take exception to the comment.
How many are phony? I don't know, but I bet it's a high percentage.
I have a nephew in the army now, he says that some of the ranges have electronic scoring.
I was wondering what you mean by your buddy scores for you. The only time I saw manual scoring was when zeroing ranges were used to qualify.
Active installation qualification ranges should all be automated ERETS (Enhanced Remote Electronic Target System) ranges that count hits/misses automatically, via computerized sensors.
Your score cannot be "doctored" without WILDLY obvious tampering.
While, I'll agree that shooting expert (which I've not done all that often) is, by no means, "Not a big deal", it does not indicate mastery of the weapon, techniques, concealment, and mindset to the degree that would equate an "Expert" shooter to a sniper.
Here's for mandatory firearms training in ALL schools.
It's more important than knowing how to roll a condom on a bannana.
You obviously don't go to the range with the kind of people I do. That bunch will go through a few thousand on a good *day* at the range (single trip).
A thousand rounds of milsurp .223 is only a couple hundred bucks. That's very little for the gov't to spend, and a few range trips are an awfully small price to pay in time, for someone who makes their living as a soldier.
For professional soldiers in combat arms MOS's, the level of shooting ability to obtain an expert badge should be damn near a requirement. Or at least for anyone close to infantry.
I only saw the pop-up ranges that were scored electroically (except when 25m zeroing ranges were used. Anyway, people could still cheat by saving some of their practice rounds and adding them to your 30 round magazine that should have had 20 rounds in it. (They usually gave you a pratice session in prone and foxhole positions.)

If you can really shoot .10 MOA my question is why? Are you trying to make eyeball shots on prairie dogs at 1000 yards?
In fact, the very range down in Tacoma, Bullseye, which the feds are all over right now about the same of the AR15, is where my wife and I go to shoot our pistols right now. They have a very good indoor range.
My shooting buddy's 16-year-old daughter is a much-better shot at that range - with iron sights - than Muhammad and Malvo were with a scope.
Scandals of antigun politicians - with how-to guide to "outing!
That's me, too. If you'll pardon the pun, I tend to be a little hit or miss in my shooting :o)
What I mean by that is that on my up days, I can put 10 for 10 into the X ring at 500 meters. On my down days, I count myself fortunate to hit somewhere in the same time zone.
A new, just-out-of-the-box M16A2 will turn in 1 MOA (5-inch groups at 500 yards).
I don't think the USMC accepts 5 MOA, because that translates into a 25 inch CEP at 500 yards, and the (expletive deleted) black on the Modified Baker target is only about 18 inches wide.
When did the 40 come along? In 1971 we had to shoot at a hundred and I hit 99.
I qualified as an expert, as would be expected from my earlier scoring. I think any young man who had been a competent hunter before basic could be expected to qualify as an expert.
There are still ways to cheat- alibi firing. If a range NCOIC allows shooters to shoot "alibi targets" (targets they might have missed due to weapons malfunction) a soldier can basically not shoot at any of the 250 or 300 meter targets and use those rounds on the alibi target which is not more than 150 meters away. It's frowned upon of course- but Joe will figure out a way to cheat if it's possible.
The surest method I saw to "pad" your chances without actually cheating was to not shoot the 300 meter target. There are four in the cycle. You save four rounds that way that you can shoot at targets of lesser range and as long as you hit them all you'll still score expert with 36 targets hit. You're not going to shoot perfect that way but if you're not a great shot, it can help out with the other targets- the worst you'll wind up is sharpshooter using that method.
I think the Army marksmanship is and isn't a good test. On the one hand, they're not judging you for accuracy- you barely nick the target and it'll go down as surely as if you hit center mass- on the other hand it is a pop up range where you have to scan your sector and expect targets at a variety of ranges, aquire the target quickly and take a timely shot before it dissappears. In that sense, I think it is a good test overlaying basic marksmanship skills onto a "realistic" environment.
Another point in the article-- they keep mentioning him being an expert at "grenades". That's even more of a joke. You don't even use live grenades when receiving that qualification. If you can low crawl up to a bunker and toss one in, hit an area target from 25 meters away and manage to lob one into a mortar pit or foxhole from 15 meters- you're goochy. Mostly luck is involved- you get a bad bounce you lose.
Most people here could do what the "sniper" did with a couple hours training unless you shake so much you look like a human earthquake.
--Ear Assault!
I have to say I was quite pleased to earn my first expert badge. It was scored by someone I didn't know on a day when I couldn't even see the upright targets at 250-300 meters - only the glint as they came up. But my biggest problem was actualy at 25m - the target was so full of holes that I didn't get knockdowns with two rounds. Went right "through". That lead to a few words out of the side of my mouth.
The only people that didn't qualify as expert were losers. It was simple. Shooting an M-16 (which we did for familiarization ) was easy too. We had a good old boy sargeant that could hit a plate at 400 yards while in a standing position.
We don't know nothin' about no sunglasses...
We don't have any sunglasses...
I qualified on a Navy Range north of the NCBC in Gulfport with the M-16 and .45 1911 pistol. I made the expert marksman grade. It was almost too easy. I was accused of being from some other branch of the service other than the USAF.
No problem - I swear by it!
Takes a bit of working with it to get it tuned well. I highly recommend having a gunsmith install it in the forestock.
Once installed be prepared to go through 500+ rounds firing from bench. Use your hunting ammo, not your practice ammo. Different ammo will make a difference. The down side for me is that my hunting ammo is match grade and costs nearly a buck per shot.
After tuning twice I would make the following recommendation. First screw the block in as far as it will travel (don't force) in one direction. Then screw it as far as it will go the other direction, counting the number of turns. Start a chart with the left hand side recording the block position by turn(s) and the right hand side recording the MOA (a good caliper helps). Each chart entry should be measured in whole turns.
Once you have the lowest MOA per whole turn, then try adjusting by 1/4 turns off from the full turn using another chart. This will help find the sweet spot as rapidly as possible - especial the second time you go to do this. This is something I did not do and wish I had.
If you hand load, get a consistant load worked up, work with it till you get the smallest group possible, and then make MINOR adjustments in your loads. You might even be able to get that .08 MOA.
Good luck!

Skip to comments.Terrorism = Illegal Gambling? (Who Else but Kerry)
Posted on 10/10/2004 1:44:44 PM PDT by PhiKapMom
click here to read article
A mosquito is a nuisance, so a more "sensitive" approach will be required.
This is the second Times article in a week to accurately portray Kerry as a dangerous *ssh*le. What's going on over there?
This guy is so nuts I can't believe they let him wander around without keepers. The mere thought of him winning this election gives me hives.
I think whats going on is NYT is subtley clicking into Clintonista mode. I think they are looking at Kerry and knowing that this guy will set DNC back for years and years and they are doing what they can to cut and run and Jus Wait for Zero Eight"
**Terrorism, a nuisance?**
When Kerry first told me that Sept. 11 had not changed him, I was surprised. I assumed everyone in America -- and certainly in Washington -- had been changed by that day. I assumed he was being overly cautious, afraid of providing his opponents with yet another cheap opportunity to call him a flip-flopper. What I came to understand was that, in fact, the attacks really had not changed the way Kerry viewed or talked about terrorism -- which is exactly why he has come across, to some voters, as less of a leader than he could be. He may well have understood the threat from Al Qaeda long before the rest of us. And he may well be right, despite the ridicule from Cheney and others, when he says that a multinational, law-enforcement-like approach can be more effective in fighting terrorists. But his less lofty vision might have seemed more satisfying -- and would have been easier to talk about in a political campaign -- in a world where the twin towers still stood.
I think he's sitting on it!!
It fits in with his whole political career.
His solution to the cold war was unilateral disarmament (can anyone say "France before WWII")
His solution to terrorism is not taking the threat as a declaration of war
His solution to nuclear proliferation is:
1. giving Iran nuclear fuel, and
2.not developing our defenses against ICBM's, or our bunker buster technology.
This guy doesn't deserve to be an american. I hope the FBI still has a file active on him. WHo knows who he is in a conspiracy with this time.
He truely is UNFIT to head this nation. We really do know who he is.
I wonder how the family members of those who lost their lives on 9/11 feel about this.
''We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance,'' Kerry said.
Kerry has frequently said "I have a plan" with very little elaboration. Now it becomes clear waht he had in mind :
A pre 9/11 time machine.
How brilliant.
And he accuses Dubya of living in a fantasy world?
John Kerry's agenda is right out of the liberal playbook of the Democratic Party. It is a dangerous policy that would give the terrorists new found hope on expanding their international operations.
Terrorism should never be handled as a law enforcement operation first and foremost. Diplomacy with these Islamic terrorists is out of the question. If Kerry was elected, that's exactly what would happen.
The WoT is a military operation, first and foremost. President Bush made the right decision to invade Iraq. Iraq is the frontline in the WoT and we must win.
Last I heard, being/visiting a prostitute and going to a gambling establishment were voluntary.
As far as I know, the 3,000+ killed on 9/11 and the people killed before and since in terrorist attacks didn't volunteer to be killed.
Correction. The 1998 embassy bombings were in Kenya, Tanzania and Nairobi.
He really is as dumb as he is dangerous.
He'll just say he was inarticulate in his statement on terrorism, just like he told Diane Sawyers about his "$87 billion dollar statement".
The Jersey Girls probably sent another check in to his campaign headquarters.
After reading it carefully I understand why JFK is so reluctant to clarify his position on terror. At best it's naive and laughable. It's the French position without the benefit of bribe money from the Oil for Castles Program.
The fact that Kerry's polling over 25% is troubling. That he's a viable Presidential contender is extremly dangerous for America.
It's so obvious that all we have to do is decriminalize terror. That will push the evil-doers out of the terror business, just like legalizing liquor broke the back of organized crime.
I am with you on this article -- if this ever made it to all the voters, he would be total history. I don't see how anyone that thinks could vote for Kerry. I was astounded as I read the article as his total arrogance.
THank you sir! I double checked it after I got the email because I couldn't believe he said those words. I am still in shock he said them.
Kerry's vision of making terrorists into Nusiances is a nightmare for any sane American with a memory of 9/11.
"He truely is UNFIT to head this nation. We really do know who he is."
This comment by moi Kerri shows the contempt that he has for Americans and America.
If one on his and Terayyyza's mansions gets razed w/a terrorist bomb, there will be "hell to pay".
The 2 of them couldn't even put up w/a fire hydrant in front of ONE of their mansions, so they had it removed soas to make themselves another parking space. The hell w/fire protection for the neighbors. 'Guess that hydrant was a nuisance too. They are not to be annoyed, you understand. HA
He's going to be VERY annoyed to see his life-long ambition to be President go down the drain.
WE also have a PLAN!
There's also a "Newsweek" article, posted about half way through last week (I'm posting on 10/11), about a major Kerry donor being on the take with Saddam's oil for food scam to the tune of about 22 million $$. In addition, just before Bill Clinton went under the knife he gave Kerry a 45 minute "confidential" lecture on proper campaigning, which Clinton's shills promptly leaked to the press.
None of this derogatory material about Kerry would have been printed in the liberal DemonRat press without the Clintons' approval. The NYT article would have simply ignored the "nuisance" quote the way the NYT ignored the Swiftvets unless NYT management had received the word to release it. The Clintons have switched their phasers from stun to kill and are firing them at the heart of the Kerry campaign. If this doesn't work, they'll probably leak his complete military files abot a week before the election
In a warm, dark place.
As a former law-enforcement person, will send in Miami Vice and try to control those terrorist which are a nuisance.
Kerry is full blown jerk!
