Well last year, her skate at SC was pretty bad, very tentative, 5th in the SP and 5th in the LP for a 151 score, yet only a week later at CoC, she was 2nd in both SP and LP with a 173 score behind only Kostner. Went up 20+ points in a week. Her silver medal at TEB was in the 2010-11 season.
What rule? The French federation can ignore Nagasu if they want a relatively weak field. Any rules issued from the ISU are just guidelines, not mandatory. I'd like to see Nagasu at NHK trophy. So I shall welcome their consideration.
IF the French federation had chosen Phaneuf as a replacement. Do you think anyone (from the ISU or other federations) protests their decision? I don't think so. In the case of GPS, the host federations always have their choices and they are respected.

Since Zijun Li has been removed, maybe it was simply a data entry mistake (kind of like when the ISU recently added Katarina KNEZEVIC to the Skate America roster). Or maybe someone at USFS challenged the choice based on their interpretation of the replacement rules:
The alternate list needs to be worked through in ranking order for the top 24 ranked skaters/couples according to their Season's Best. All skaters/couples of the alternate list will be grouped in top ranked groups of five (5) skaters, out of which the respective Organizing Member may pick one skater/couple for invitation.
I'm not a lawyer and I've never played one on TV, but it does sound like the second sentence is meant to start with #25 on the seasons best list. Otherwise, then the second sentence nullifies the first and the mention of top 24 being worked through in ranked order wouldn't even need to be there. Seems that the host pick for the LOC is much looser than last season, but still some definite rules for replacements.

I think when the dust settles, Nagasu will probably get another assignment, whether it's another GP or senior B. It's probably too early to say Nagasu is robbed of an assignment.
I wish Nagasu were assigned to SA (for my own selfish reasons ), but then USFS has assigned two 5th place nationals finishers to SA (Razzano and Gao), and it is probably good to spread the wealth around.
I know, and it makes me feel bek-ish that bothers me

Im not going to go on, as I agree with most people. I think its ridiculous that we are even having to have this discussion. Mirai should have been given a 2nd Grand Prix at this point. I know that no one likes to follow rules, but they are there for a reason. I hope she is given one soon.
Like others pointed out: According to the ISU rules, Nagasu should have been chosen.
In the past they had more leeway and it lead to weak fields and host countries doing each others favours. Therefore, other rules had been in place.
Even if Mirai still gets another GP I am still pissed that the rules are not followed.
If they had chose Phaneuf, I would have protested even more.
So any guesses for the two open spots in SC and NHK due to Marley/Brubaker split??
Next 5 in line from the SB list (not counting teams doing JGP):
Vise & Baldwin (already at Skate Canada)
James & CIpres (likely will get the TBA at TEB)
Gerboldt & Enbert (already at Skate Canada)
Hausch & Wende
Steele & Schultz (are they still together???)
MY guess is H&W will get Skate Canada and Gerboldt&Enbert willl get NHK Trophy.
You mean if the host feds follow the "suggestions" in the GP Announcement?
"'Is this new BMW-designed sled the ultimate sledding machine for Langdon and Holcomb?' Leigh Diffey asked before the pair cruised to victory. I dont know, but I know that sled is the ultimate Olympic Games product placement.." -- Jen Chaney
What FSU folks "pointed out" doesn't matter. The ISU and host federations decide. As long as there's no penalty for not following "rules", they are just guidelines. Some FSU folks pointed out that the Japanese and French federations didn't follow the GP assignment rules for men, but "rules" themselves have changed instead.
Of course, the ISU GP rules are a hot mess, thats for sure. But they are still chosing from the next 5 in line (Li was the exception thank to 3 russian ladies already booked at TEB, the rules are allowing Nagasu being left out so far so Im not wuzrobbing her yet )
Anyway, I just want Gerboldt & Enbert to get their 2nd event right now so the RUS fed has no choise but to give Martiusheva & Rogonov the TBA at Cup of Russia.
If Plushenko is doing a show in St Petersburg on the 7th, does that take him out of the running for the CoR TBA?
I would think it would, but who knows with anything about this season at this point
Due to the announced MARLEY / BRUBAKER split, there are now two open slots: SC and NHK. Who's on top of the subs list?
What section in the GP announcement allows the French Fed to bypass 1. the top-ranked Ladies skater in the Top 24 and 2. an eligible Ladies skater in the first group of five -- i.e., not already assigned; no three US Ladies already assigned -- to select a skater from the second group of five?
"'Is this new BMW-designed sled the ultimate sledding machine for Langdon and Holcomb?' Leigh Diffey asked before the pair cruised to victory. I dont know, but I know that sled is the ultimate Olympic Games product placement.." -- Jen Chaney
I don't know when the GP Ladies PDF update was published but the latest version dated August 10 does include Gao's name with the "(new)" designation for TEB.
Evan Lysacek's name was added to the GP Men PDF today (August 15) for Skate America - ditto for Castelli/Shnapir in the GP Pairs PDF (Marley/Brubaker's names have been crossed out ), and Cannuscio/McManus in the Dance PDF.

Atheist Census' back online after hacker attack
Posted: 17 Dec 2012 05:40 AM PST
Atheist Alliance International reports that its Atheist Census, an attempt to count the world's atheists, is now back online after hackers took it down more than a week ago.
"It seems that there are people who do not want atheists to be counted, who do not want to accept that as more people question and think critically about religion atheists are a growing demographic. It is a measure of the project's success – even at this early stage – that some people wanted to shut it down," Carlos Diaz, the organization's president, said in a prepared statement.
The group launched the census on Dec. 7 and it fell to a Denial of Service attack about 17 hours later. At the time that the census site was attacked, about 8,800 people had completed the survey, with another 2,300 pending.
Participation in the Atheist Census is free. Since the return of the site, about 20,000 total people have submitted their information to the effort, which is attempting to collect demographic information about atheists throughout the world, including their education levels, age, gender identity and country.
The Atheist Census can be found at http://www.atheistcensus.com/
DOS. yep.. that's about all they have .. instead of tears of failure. ; P
Hi Atheist and proud, I was brought in as a child with Religon but not heavily pushed, I sang in a church choir although mostly for pocket money till I was around 10 yrs old. I had no issues with family saying I was non believer.
I recently was told about the site by a friend who lives in America and was shocked at how judgmental people still were over religion and joined the site to understand some of the issues a American atheist goes through.
I grew up in an open-minded family. My parents dragged us to church every Sunday, but did this out of guilt. When I was 12 years old I rebelled and refused to go again. I denied the existence of god and confounded my parents with the MANY flaws in the bible. Yet, they still respected my views. When my brother was in high school he "found" god and became a "born again Rambo." He is now a methodist minister and oh so miserable.
When my brother converted he drove my parents crazy. When my open-minded father found out he had stomach cancer, he too found god and turned on me. He died trying to "bring me to jesus." For me, that was the most painful part of my father's death. It was both amazing and depressing to watch a man like my father go from open mind--willing to see other points of view--to intolerable fundamentalist bullshit. I would love to blame my brother, but I cannot. He is too steeped in the same bullshit and is miserable.
The sad thing about it all is that I have not changed my position since I was 12. I am now 55. Suddenly, I am evil! I never gave my atheism any thought until just recently. The political environment has made atheists a convenient target. Even some of my more liberal friends have advised me not to advertise my atheism. I never did! If someone asked, I would tell them. Now I skirt the issue. I find it easier to tell those who question that I was "born and raised in the methodist church." It is a true statement and usually satisfies them. Am I in the closet? I have never hid my atheism, but now I retreat to the closet at times because suddenly I am not a "good person" and condemned to a fiery place.
Our current political climate has made people like us think about the closet. I am not a big Obama fan, but I voted for him because the republican alternatives were abhorrent. I am hoping that the re-election of "Bronco Bama" will usher in a renewed enthusiasm for science and reason. It seems as though--hopefully--the fundamentalist idiots are digging their own hole in the ground. They have become a joke of themselves.
Coming out is a lot like quitting smoking, alcohol, or other drug abuse. It's uncomfortable for a short while but becomes quite liberating with time. You will very likely kick yourself for not doing it sooner. You are you...not your religion.
Big thanks to all of you for commenting since I posted this. I have enjoyed reading your stories and and love seeing new responses in my inbox.
We are growing in numbers so fast, especially in the younger generation, that we won't even need these people. I myself do perfectly well socially spending almost all my time with humanists and skeptics.
Why should you have to "come out of the closet"? Religionists should be the ones ashamed of their whacky beliefs like Eve was created from Adam's rib, or God created you knowing you were going to hell but still loves you.
There're Baptist reform schools that have closets called "The get-straight room," where they imprison kids for hours for minor infractions like saying something the elder didn't like. These are the people who should come out of the closet.
I left my church community and religious dogma because the only help they offered was for me to submit and obey, both of which were not only sick but also just plain evil things to say to a family living under violent parenting rule. "Spare the rod..." and "yield to authority" are damaging to spirit and body and mind for growing children. Dobson's imperatives only added rationale for cruel, brutish behaviors.
Running away from such conditions was the only option I could find. My religious community assured me that I would burn in hell and my flesh would be replaced to burn for eternity. I was terrified. I had no idea what I would do to restore sanity to my little family because my parents were violent to each other and to me. I learned from the crib how to be violent to gain compliance. I did not learn care, compassion, or communication skills.
My former employer guided me to a program at Whitworth University that focused on democratic principles in business and empowering all members of a team to work together using skills of problem solving, conflict resolution, thinking in the future tense to create preferable goals. I learned how to identify unmet needs and processes to get basic needs met. They taught me how to look for resources, and to anticipate trouble areas. Great emphasis was learning how to assert oneself and how to active listen; identifying "stinkin' thinkin'" and being aware of self-delusions. We had to develop action plans and then do some project that involved long-standing unresolved problems and develop strategies to overcome differences. Evaluation provided a way to test if we knew whether we were on or off track; if we wanted to change directions or do more or less or continue "off course" because it was a better solution. The project was judged "Passed" if problems and conflicts were resolved for the organization.
My three children and I used these processes from 1979 until they were grown and had families of their own. My daughter and her husband in Spokane and son and his wife in Denver took a similar course and as their children get to about school age, they learn these skills in a children's version.
The net result is that each family unit and our combined families all know and use excellent interpersonal skills. We enjoy life, even as we honor each individual and participate in contributing to the benefit of the entire family. Our family functions as a motivated team.
The program my children and grandchildren are taking and my great-grandchildren will take is through Landmark Education.
Pretty much everyone knows that I am an atheist, including my professors at school. So yeah, I'm pretty "out."
I am out and have been for some time. I am 63 years old, and I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about my atheism. Most of my family is well aware of it. No one tries to "bring me back into the fold", as it were. I have learned vastly more about different religions, Christianity in particular, than I ever knew when I was still Roman Catholic. (subject for it's own thread that). Being out has not cost me any friends or family so far.
I have actually read the entire Bible since de-converting. Something I had never done as a Catholic. The RCC didn't encourage Bible reading when I was a child in Catholic School. They were probably afraid of all the questions they wouldn't be able to answer without resorting to brute authority.
Here in England, Atheism seems to be so prevalent that the 'coming out' thing doesn't seem to be an issue, or even a requirement. If you announce to someone here that you are an atheist, it is not viewed as unusual at all, and often the response is a shrug of the shoulders, or indifference. At secondary school, quite a lot of my friends, like me, just sort of agreed that religion was made up, and the ones I am still in contact with appear to have maintained their stance. Where I work, I would say that at least a third of us are atheists, from what discussions we have had over the years. I do realise that I am incredibly lucky to live where I do, and sympathise greatly with Atheists in the U.S. 'bible belt' and Middle Eastern countries, where a 'coming out' thing is probably a very daunting neccessity.
lucky! home of Dawkins. I'd be stoked.

In reality, no matter what you call them, there are only two major committees in each house: Finance and Judiciary, with arguably Finance being the only real major committee, since it controls the purse strings.
However, the change isn't entirely cosmetic: "Major" committee status makes it possible for H&HR to schedule multiple meetings each week, which will be a plus, given the heavy workload likely with health care-related bills in the 2013 session.
(In the past, the committee has been relegated to the less-than-ideal scheduled meeting time of 4 p.m. Mondays. In the House, minor committees meet only once a week.)
It also gives Thompson a little better opportunity to solidify support in the speaker's race, since Delegate Bobbie Hatfield's defeat opens up the vice chairmanship on the committee, and the committee's higher profile will make that appointment somewhat more prestigious for whatever Democrat gets the nod.
Finally, one of the first calls I got post-election was not about upsets, leadership changes, or new policy directions. It was about ursine deportation.
In other words, what happens to the black bears that have resided outside of Attorney General Darrell McGraw's offices at the Capitol?
For those not familiar with the Capitol's VIPs, for many years, then-Secretary of State Ken Hechler displayed two stuffed bears outside his office. Frequently, one bore a sign stating, "We support the right to arm bears."
After an ill-fated run for Congress in 2000, Hechler had to find a new home for the bears before his term expired, since incoming Secretary of State Joe Manchin had no interest in retaining them, and Hechler ultimately found a willing taker in McGraw.
Coming from New Jersey, it's doubtful that the new Attorney General knows that the black bear is our state animal, let alone would want to keep the bears on display. (At some point, the two evidently had a baby, since the current display is of a trio of bears.)
They can't go back to the previous location, since that space is currently taken up by a video display featuring programming promoting Secretary of State Natalie Tennant.
Perhaps the incoming agriculture commissioner Helmick could display them, as a show of his bona fides as an agrarian and outdoorsman ...

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Fact and Theory)
A fact (derived from the Latin factum) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is whether it can be proven to correspond to experience.
18th century[edit]
- But facts are chiels that winna ding, and downa be disputed.
- Robert Burns, A Dream (1786)
- Matters of fact, which as Mr Budgell somewhere observes, are very stubborn things.
- Matthew Tindal (1733) The Will of Matthew Tindal
19th century[edit]
- "I should have more faith," he said; "I ought to know by this time that when a fact appears opposed to a long train of deductions it invariably proves to be capable of bearing some other interpretation."
- Arthur Conan Doyle (1887) A Study in Scarlet
- It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.
- Arthur Conan Doyle( 1887), A Study in Scarlet , Part 1, chap. 3
- It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
- Arthur Conan Doyle (1891) A Scandal in Bohemia
- The fatal futility of Fact.
- Henry James (1897) Prefaces
- Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
- William James, in "Is Life Worth Living?" The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy (1897)
- Talk to him of Jacob's ladder, and he would ask him the number of steps.
- Douglas William Jerrold (1895) Wit and Opinion of Douglas Jerrold
20th century[edit]
- Fiction is fact distilled into truth.
- Edward Albee, The New York Times (18 September 1966).
- Facts were never pleasing to him. He acquired them with reluctance and got rid of them with relief. He was never on terms with them until he had stood them on their heads.
- J.M. Barrie, The Greenwood Hat (1937)
- The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think.
- Albert Einstein (1921) cited in: Philipp Frank (1947) Einstein: His Life and Times, p. 185
- I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.
- Albert Einstein in letter to Michele Besso (8 October 1952)
- I despaired of the possibility of discovering the true laws by means of constructive efforts based on known facts. The longer and the more despairingly I tried, the more I came to the conviction that only the discovery of a universal formal principle could lead us to assured results.
- Albert Einstein (1949) Autobiographical Notes.
- Facts are constituted by older ideologies, and a clash between facts and theories may be proof of progress.
- Paul Karl Feyerabend (1975) Against Method. p.33
- Not only are facts and theories in constant disharmony, they are never as neatly separated as everyone makes them out to be.
- Paul Karl Feyerabend (1975) Against Method. p.66
- Scientific "facts" are taught at a very early age and in the very same manner in which religious "facts" were taught only a century ago. There is no attempt to waken the critical abilities of the pupil so that he may be able to see things in perspective. At the universities the situation is even worse, for indoctrination is here carried out in a much more systematic manner. Criticism is not entirely absent. Society, for example, and its institutions, are criticised most severely and often most unfairly... But science is excepted from the criticism. In society at large the judgment of the scientist is received with the same reverence as the judgement of bishops and cardinals was accepted not too long ago. The move towards "demythologization," for example, is largely motivated by the wish to avoid any clash between Christianity and scientific ideas. If such a clash occurs, then science is certainly right and Christianity wrong. Pursue this investigation further and you will see that science has now become as oppressive as the ideologies it had once to fight. Do not be misled by the fact that today hardly anyone gets killed for joining a scientific heresy. This has nothing to do with science. It has something to do with the general quality of our civilization. Heretics in science are still made to suffer from the most severe sanctions this relatively tolerant civilization has to offer.
- Paul Karl Feyerabend (1975) How To Defend Society Against Science
- Results from a given approach are "facts" as long as the approach fits the group or the tradition that is being addressed
- Paul Karl Feyerabend (2001) Conquest of Abundance. pg 86
- Facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts do not go away while scientists debate rival theories for explaining them.
- Stephen Jay Gould "Evolution as Fact and Theory", pp. 254–55, originally appeared in Discover Magazine, May 1981.
- The facts of nature are what they are, but we can only view them through the spectacles of our mind.
- Stephen Jay Gould (1986) "Glow, Big Glowworm", in: Natural History 95 (12): 10-16.
- The power of administrative bodies to make finding of fact which may be treated as conclusive, if there is evidence both ways, is a power of enormous consequence. An unscrupulous administrator might be tempted to say "Let me find the facts for the people of my country, and I care little who lays down the general principles."
- Charles Evans Hughes, "Important Work of Uncle Sam's Lawyers", American Bar Association Journal (April 1931), p. 238, reprinting an address to the Federal Bar Association, Washington, D.C. (February 11, 1931), where the chief justice spoke of the "extraordinary development of administrative agencies of the government and of the lawyer's part in making them work satisfactorily and also in protecting the public against bureaucratic excesses", according to the article's subtitle.
- Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
- Aldous Huxley (1927) Proper Studies
- The subversive character of truth inflicts upon thought an imperative quality. Logic centers on judgments which are, as demonstrative propositions, imperatives, — the predicative "is" implies an "ought." ... Verification of the proposition involves a process in fact as well as in thought: (S) must become that which it is. The categorical statement thus turns into a categorical imperative; it does not state a fact but the necessity to bring about a fact. For example, it could be read as follows: man is not (in fact) free, endowed with inalienable rights, etc., but he ought to be.
- Herbert Marcuse (1964) One-Dimensional Man, pp. 132-133
- Historical facts, many of them, have an intrinsic value, a profound interest on their own account, which makes them worthy of study, quite apart from any possibility of linking them together by means of causal laws.
- Bertrand Russell (1904) On History
- We are driven back to correspondence with fact as constituting the nature of truth. It remains to define precisely what we mean by 'fact', and what is the nature of the correspondence which must subsist between belief and fact, in order that belief may be true.
- A hallucination is a fact, not an error; what is erroneous is a judgment based upon it.
- Bertrand Russell (1914) On the Nature of Acquaintance: Neutral Monism
- Facts have to be discovered by observation, not by reasoning
- Bertrand Russell (1945) A History of Western Philosophy Book Three, Part I, Chapter X, Spinoza, p. 577
- When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only: What are the facts, and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted, either by what you wish to believe, or what you think could have beneficent social effects if it were believed; but look only and solely at what are the facts.
- Bertrand Russell (1959) in a BBC interview on "Face to Face"
- A myth is, of course, not a fairy story. It is the presentation of facts belonging to one category in the idioms appropriate to another. To explode a myth is accordingly not to deny the facts but to re-allocate them.
- Gilbert Ryle (1949) The Concept of Mind
- Facts do not "speak for themselves." They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theory or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
- Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles (1987)
21st century[edit]
- Irving, I'll do what I want
- Matt Irving

Anyone know in the GM if it actually does Encrypted wifi time machine to time capsule? That is a big one I wanted without having to do the parse bundle trick.
I've had the GM release for a while now and all the programs seem to work just fine.
I'm getting it! That simple.
I have a job. $20 is nothing.
Don't know why but this will be the only time that I'm not excited about getting the latest OS
Oddly enough, I feel the same way this time around.
I understand the charge for $20 from leopard to lion but lion to a lion? like someone said its nothing but a service pack upgrade. Whats next, is apple going to charge to upgrade for ios6? or iOS7?
I think Lion fell short to impress so let's hope this one doesn't...
I'm so excited!! I haven't been able to be patient! But I can't help it.
Apple actually brought the price down a little. But think about it. A phone to a computer is a big difference. A computer can do a lot more things. It makes sense to have a free mobile os, then have a paid computer os. Plus to upgrade on windows is a lot more..
im sure there will be a work around for the airplay mirror.
3rd party software always comes through
The person who said that was a troll. Last time I checked a service pack never came with a couple hundred new features.
😳 This comment blows my mind
I think he wants a UI makeover similar to Windows.
the macbook pro composing this comment is less than two years old. long story short, my next computer will be windows based.
Would definitely save some money!
the 27in iMac composing this comment is less than two years old. My next computer will be OSX based.
Well no 3AM release. I really wonder what time it will be released.
LOL..Oh wait..Windows 8 how much again over $150!!!!..laughable. When has Microsoft EVER made a OS that WASN'T affordable? how bout NEVER!!!!. That's one hat i give to Apple sure their computers cost alot..but software is fairly inexpensive on most common stuff.BUT..you can bet your Apple bottoms i'm upgrading in t-minus 20mins counting from my post.
so not only are you willing to overpay for a laptop, you are saying you are willing to overpay for software also! 20 bucks is not a deal breaker but saying you'd pay 50 is saying you'd pay 10 bucks for a double cheeseburger

Awesome game by Walker, and this is just start. Can't wait to see Bismack in action.
Well I'm ready to purchase a Walker jersey.
I'm sure I'm not the only one either.
Awesome game by Walker, and this is just start. Can't wait to see Bismack in action.
Any win, even in the preseason, is good to have.
Didn't get to see the game, watched my UNCW Seahawks beat Campbell at the buzzer instead.
Anyways, saw the highlights and checked the boxscore. Love that Kemba played well, particularly at the free throw line.
Derrick Brown posted a double double, for those who watched it was it cause for excitement or simply UPS playing well against the Hawks bench?
Hopefully TT is okay as well.
"Sam Vincent? To be honest with you, I don't know what his concept was." - Gerald Wallace
Re-watching the game, and Diop is just god awful. He obviously didn't do shit during the lockout except get fat and out of shape. DJ White played great, really like to see him crashing the offensive glass.

Anne Arundel County executive Leopold resigns
Saturday - 2/2/2013, 10:21am  ET
Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - John Leopold, chief executive of Maryland's fourth-largest county, resigned Friday, days after being found guilty of misconduct in office for, among other things, having a secretary empty his urine catheter bag for months in 2010.
Leopold was automatically suspended from office after a judge convicted him Tuesday on two counts of misconduct in office for also using members of his security detail to perform political activities while they were on the job. The 69-year-old Leopold announced his resignation in a letter to the acting chief executive of Anne Arundel County named earlier this week, John Hammond.
"It was a compelling and humbling experience for me to sit through two weeks of the trial and listen intently to the words expressed by the court," Leopold wrote. "I acknowledge the serious errors in judgment that I made and do not want these errors in judgment to further distract the county from its ability to move forward in a positive way."
The Anne Arundel County Council had been scheduled to vote on Leopold's removal from office Monday night.
"This decision is the most difficult decision I have ever made, but I know that it is the right one in the best interest of the citizens of Anne Arundel County," Leopold wrote in the letter made public Friday.
In court Tuesday, Judge Dennis Sweeney described Leopold as "predatory and cruel" for requiring his secretary to empty the urine catheter bag on her hands and knees up to three times a day for nine or 10 months. Speaking in a packed courtroom at the end of the high-profile trial, Sweeney said Leopold's actions were "simply outrageous" and an example of "overbearing arrogance."
Leopold also was found guilty of requiring members of his security detail to put up campaign signs as he ran for re-election in 2010 when they were on duty as police officers. Leopold also required them to pick up campaign checks and compile dossiers on political opponents.
The judge acquitted Leopold of spending $10,000 in overtime pay to use members of the security detail for his benefit, including shuttling him to sexual encounters in a bowling alley parking lot. Leopold also was acquitted of using some of that overtime money to conceal a personal relationship with a woman from a girlfriend while he was in a hospital recovering from back surgery.
Before becoming county executive, Leopold served 20 years in the Maryland House of Delegates. He also served in the Hawaii State House of Representatives from 1970 to 1974 and the Hawaii State Senate from 1974 to 1978.

Healthy Weight for All Children—In 2007, RWJF announced that it would dedicate $500 million to reversing the childhood obesity epidemic in America. The relentless rise in childhood obesity rates has abated, and in some areas has even decreased. Moving forward, RWJF will stress the importance of achieving a healthy weight for all of our nation's children, especially in poor communities and those of color.
Health Care Coverage For All—For decades, RWJF has worked to improve access to affordable, high-quality coverage for all Americans. The Affordable Care Act has created new opportunities for more than 30 million uninsured Americans to acquire coverage. Our objective is to ensure that all who are eligible for coverage know what is available to them and how to make the most of it.
Bridging Health and Health Care—For too long being healthy has been defined as not being sick. But good health extends beyond the walls of medical offices to the places where people live, learn, work and play. RWJF will continue to invest in programs that bridge health and health care, balancing treatment with prevention, community action and individual responsibility.
Cost, Quality, and Value—RWJF is committed to seeking the highest value for each dollar spent in the public health, population health, and health care systems. This includes reducing wasteful spending and creating a better understanding of how health is influenced by education, housing, transportation, clean air and water, the built environment, public and business policies and other social determinants of health.
Healthy Places and Practices—To help build public demand for a culture of health, RWJF will identify, support, and spread the word about individual and community actions that promote lifelong health for all Americans. We are committed to finding strong examples of places and practices reflecting a culture of health, and sharing the lessons they have to offer with others so Americans can link forces and build small victories into a national movement.
Equal Opportunity—Too many Americans still do not have access to equal choices and opportunities to pursue good health. In the past, RWJF has acknowledged the issue of equal opportunity in all of the programs we support. However, we have come to believe that we must make a more defined commitment to address the causes of unacceptable gaps in opportunity and identify areas that call for immediate attention.
Vulnerable Populations—RWJF supports finding innovative and effective ways of addressing the many factors that influence the health of our nation's most vulnerable people. Our work in this area will focus on mental wellness and violence prevention, particularly in early childhood. We cannot call ourselves a healthy nation if we continue to be a violent one. RWJF has chosen to address how health is diminished by all forms of violence—child abuse, bullying, post-traumatic stress, domestic abuse, street violence—and how the cycle can be broken.
Discover, Explore, Learn—RWJF recognizes that in order to achieve a culture of health we must continually discover and explore the cutting-edge ideas and emerging trends that have the potential to accelerate our progress. We remain open to new ways of addressing issues of health and seek to actively anticipate the future, evolving our strategies to ensure that we take advantage of the most pioneering thinking.
21st Century Leadership—RWJF takes great pride in its legacy of identifying leaders with the potential to transform our nation's health and providing them with the support they need to realize their promise. We remain deeply committed to investing in the development of health innovators and are in the process of restructuring and refocusing many of our human capital programs to better meet tomorrow's demands for widespread leadership. Read more about our new approaches.
The Future of Nursing—RWJF has supported the advancement of the nursing profession for more than 30 years. We continue to address issues such as the nursing shortage, professional development, and expanding the scope of nursing practice with the aim of ensuring that nurses play a key role in helping our nation achieve a culture of health.
Health in Our Home State—RWJF honors the legacy of its founder by supporting work to improve the health and lives of our neighbors in New Jersey. As the largest private foundation in our home state, RWJF provides support to core institutions, collaborates with community organizations, and works with leaders to address health needs and to support economic development across the Garden State. Learn more about some of our initiatives.

A new exhibition and Rochester Museum and Science Center explores the history, lived experience and science of race.
"RACE: Are We So Different?" looks at the scientific foundation of race and the evidence that there are more similarities than differences.
Included are hands-on activities for all ages with a focus on 5th grade and older.
The goal is to promote understanding and equality through discussions about racial issues and diversity within the community.
"We are not so different and when you look at the science behind it, you understand that we're much more alike than we are different," said museum president Kate Bennett. "And so there is a science component to the exhibition. There's a history component to the exhibition of how it is we got to this point where we think we're so different. And there's a cultural explanation."
The exhibit is possible thanks to a $200,000 grant from the Rochester Area Community Foundation. The RMSC has a school scholarship fund that will support more than 2,500 students to see the exhibit.
The exhibition is open now through April 28th.
Time Warner, the parent company of YNN, is a sponsor of the event.

Great Product Great Performance
Par Margaret

I used this product only once so far. It made my twelve year old carpets extra clean and bright. It is well worth the money when I comsidered how much I was spending renting a carpet cleaner. The free shipping made my decision easier.

I have been waiting for this to come back on the Shopping Channel and I got it. My carpets are a very light color and my old cleaner was not that great but this machine is worth every cent. I also love the warranty of 5 years that comes with it. Thank you Shopping Channel for getting the Rug Doctor.

I wasn`t sure at first if we should buy this, but I am so glad that we did. Used this on our rugs. They look brand new.I also used the attatchments for upholstery cleaning. Our sofa and chair look just like we bought them yesterday.Actually I believe they look even better.Another GREAT purchase from The Shopping Channel.Thank you.
Great and sooooo easy to use
Par NATALIE
de MISSISSAUGA
I was hesitant due to the price but with free s/h I took a chance. It is so easy to use on carpets and stairs with the hose attachment. Takes a bit of care to fill the compartment with the hot water solution bucket but with a bit of practice it's easy. The spots came out - some took 2 passes - but these were old dog accidents. The water came out dirtier than I thought it would be. Glad I bought this so that I can clean the carpets 3x a year or whenever the carpet gets soiled.

I just used my Rug Doctor for the first time and WOW! what a fantastic product. I use a Dyson vacuum (also purchased from TSC), but even with a great vacuum it is unbelievable what the Rug Doctor got out of my carpets. Just one pass over each area made my carpets look brand new, they smell fresh and clean -- and best of all, they were completely dry in just two hours. This product is worth every penny - if I could give it ten stars, I would. I'm thrilled.

So, what do you think about the first two episodes of Season 3?
It wasn't my absolute favorite of all time, but it still was entertaining.

So, what do you think about the first two episodes of Season 3?
It wasn't my absolute favorite of all time, but it still was entertaining.
Just watched the 2-part season premiere:
That episode was pretty good. Not great though. Also too bad the villain was so underdeveloped; MLP villains are generally cool. I did really like the songs, but I already knew those so they didn't really wow me like the first time I heard them (well except for the reprise).
Also appearently we're getting a Trixie episode soon. Which is so awesome.
My thoughts on the new episode(s).

Who is this git?
I fear stagnation because of your thoughts on the episodes, but to be fair, the Discord two-parter felt a bit rushed because of its limitation of being a two-parter rather than a three-parter. Perhaps this two-parter was in need of a creepy yet entertaining servant to the evil King Solmer delaying Twilight and co.'s attempt to stop him.
The episodes was good.
Though, let me say this: GAK IS BEST PONY.
There is no picture here, there will never be pictures here.
Also, my favorite game on the PC is Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword!
Thought on the new episode:
Also: Gak was best pony.GAKGAKGAK.
The episodes were decent in my opinion, but I thought Return of Harmony and A Canterlot Wedding were better, but again, that's just my opinion.
The only real problem I had was the villain, King Sombre, he just didn't have the same effect on me as Discord and Queen Chrysalis had, that and I didn't think he was given a big enough role as his predecessors, I think they could have done so much more with him. I cannot say the episodes are bad, not at all, they were great, but they could have done more with them, that's all, I still love the show regardless.
King Sombre was just so... vague, I mean there was very little about him that was described other than "he was evil" and that's it. Sure he looked pretty cool, but really now, Discord was essentially the embodiment and manifestation of chaos, and Queen Chrysalis was an insectoid hive queen who infiltrated Canterlot in order to feed her hive. King Sombre was neither, very little information was really given about him.
I have come up a personal theory that unlike the other villains, Sombre never really have a personality or backstory from the start, but is essentially a physical embodiment of evil that solely exists to cause destruction, misery, and sorrow, something along the lines of a Lovecraftian horror like Cthulhu and Yog-Sothoth are, but essentially G-Rated.

NORMAN — Practice lasted a little longer for Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell on Tuesday. After the whistle blew most of the team headed for the locker room, Bell and a couple of receivers stayed for some extra work.
"I was staying out there with Jalen (Saunders) tonight and getting some extra deep routes," Bell said. "It was something we needed to work on and something that will help us. I'm still learning some stuff and I know other guys are still learning. Once we put it all together, we'll be all right."
In that sense, it's been chemistry week with Bell and his receivers as the 18th-ranked Sooners (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) prepare to face Kansas (2-3, 0-2) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kan.
Something has clearly been awry in the last two games. The Sooners have scored just three offensive touchdowns against TCU and Texas. Bell has thrown for 285 yards — combined — in those two games.
Jalen Saunders and Sterling Shepard, OU's top receivers, have made just 13 catches for 85 yards and Shepard didn't have a catch against the Longhorns.
Co-offensive coordinator Jay Norvell said it's the same process former receiver Ryan Broyles and former quarterback Landry Jones went through in 2009.
"That kind of chemistry comes from playing in games and making big plays so when guys make a big play in a game and they get confidence in one another, then that's when it grows," Norvell said. "The combination of Broyles and Landry Jones — those kids played so much football together in so many big games, there was so much confidence between the two of them. That just doesn't happen. It happens from playing and throwing balls and making big plays on third down and having a guy you can trust. We're building that. We've got new quarterbacks and we've got some new kids playing so that's something that we need to establish in games and as we play through the rest of this Big 12, I think we'll find that kind of chemistry."
But it gets tougher when trying to find it in conference games. It's a copy-cat league in that whatever works in slowing an offense is not going away. TCU had a lot of success flustering the Sooners with tight, man-to-man coverage. Texas threw a lot more at the Sooners last Saturday. Surely, Kansas will do the same Saturday.
Bell and his receivers must figure out a way to beat it.
"If a team's doing something that's working then the next team — they might not do all of it, but they'll sprinkle in stuff like that," Bell said. "You have to be ready for stuff like that."
The chemistry Bell is able to build with his receivers will ultimately decide how effective OU's passing game will be this season.
OU has faith it will turn around. Bell threw for 645 yards and six touchdowns in his first two starts against Tulsa and Notre Dame.
OU isn't ready to hit the panic button over the last two games.
"We've had six games and there's a good part of it against some good teams that was really good. Some of it has been challenging, but some of it has still been good," OU coach Bob Stoops said.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A federal judge has scheduled a second trial Dec. 2 for a new fraud trial for the former leader of New York's Senate although defense attorneys are pursuing a further appeal.
U.S. District Judge Gary Sharpe has ordered prosecutors and defense attorneys to file trial briefs and witness lists in advance.
The 84-year-old Bruno's two fraud convictions from 2009 were overturned on appeal.
Prosecutors say he accepted more than $400,000 from a businessman for helping with state grants.
He denies any wrongdoing and was acquitted of 5 charges.
Sharpe says the Second Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld his earlier ruling, refusing to dismiss the charges on double jeopardy grounds.
Defense attorneys have asked the Second Circuit to reconsider their appeal.
