"Ron Paul's son is a senator from Kentucky, and he's now endorsing Mitt Romney. I know how that feels. My son watches Jay." –David Letterman
Honorable move by Mike Huckabee to demand that a fund raising letter sent on his letterhead referring to Obama's advisers as "morally repugnant political whores" be pulled. Huckabee denies having approved this. I am inclined to believe him. Compare Huckabee's action in stating he did not approve this as soon as the letter went out to Ron Paul claiming he did not know about multiple racist and anti-Semitic items under his name, years after pocketing the money raised.
There has been a lot of talk lately about Ron Paul teaming up with Mitt Romney. This has raised some questions in my mind. First of all, will it matter? Paul is concentrating on the caucus states where the final delegate counts might not be entirely consistent with vote, but at the moment Paul does not have all that many delegates. Even if for the sake of discussion we assume that Paul wins enough delegates to matter should Romney be just short of enough to win the nomination, there is also the question as to whether he will be able to deliver his support to Romney. After all, with the lack of enthusiasm for Romney, it is certainly possible he could fall short of the required amount.
Paul's supporters have created a myth that Ron Paul is a hyper-moral and consistent non-politician. His career has demonstrated just the opposite. This ranges from his support for earmarks to his pandering to racists to raise money. Even his support for freedom is quite inconsistent, opposing the right of a woman to control her own body at the level of federal legislation. His support for freedom in other areas remains limited to the level of the federal government, with his view of the power of state governments making him the ideal candidate for the white supremacists and neo-Nazis who make up much of his support.
A post at The Hill's Pundits Blog provides further insight into the difficulties Paul is having over his romance with Mitt Romney:
The perception of a secret side deal between Ron Paul and Mitt Romney is now creating a major backlash from conservatives and relegating the Paul campaign to third-tier status. While major media have begun withdrawing embeds and reducing coverage of the Paul campaign, conservatives are increasingly angry with Paul (and Gingrich) for helping Romney. I never thought I would say this, but Rick Perry has been acting like a far more honorable and consistent conservative than Paul, who may well be engaging in old-style politics backroom behavior…
Paul has a very limited amount of time left to restore some purpose to his campaign. He is very close to being marginalized into insignificance. His romance with Romney is destroying his candidacy and creating a growing anger and backlash against him from conservatives. His behavior is damaging his own credibility and doing long-term damage to Rand, with the broader conservative movement that does not want Romney and does not appreciate Romney enablers.
While Ron Paul is doing poorly in his campaign, at least the comments to the linked post do show that Paul continues to maintain support on line from the same types of irrational kooks as he had back in 2008.
Jeb Bush, generally regarded as George's younger, smarter brother, has been receiving a lot of credit this week for saying what any sane conservative should realize:
"I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I'm wondering, I don't think I've changed, but it's a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that's kind of where we are."
It is a shame he didn't speak out when his brother was in the White House. While the Republican Party has moved even further to the right, the fact remains that George Bush was probably the most radical right wing president in our history, and few (if any) other presidents have done as much harm to the country as Bush.
I wonder if Jeb is laying the groundwork for a 2016 campaign, already realizing the importance of distancing himself from what could be a disastrous campaign in 2012. This assumes that the Republican Party will be more sane in 2016 than it is now, which is a very questionable prediction. It is easy for Jeb Bush to sound more sane now when he is not running. If he was a candidate for the 2012 nomination he might be forced to act just as insane as Santorum, Gingrich, Paul, and Romney.
There was a time when perhaps Mitt Romney would be the Republican candidate who tried to tone down the extremism and campaign as the sane candidate. Instead Romney has actually tried to campaign with claims of being to the right of Rick Santorum. As Bill Maher has pointed out, that cannot work: "he can't be to the right of Rick Santorum because there's nothing to the right except Kirk Cameron and the Neo-Nazi Party."
In quick follow-up of yesterday's look at the Republican nomination battle, Mitt Romney did the minimum necessary to win yesterday's events, but not in a very convincing manner. Both many commentators and Rick Santorum have attributed Romney's win at CPAC to busing in large numbers of college students on from the east coast, analogous to how Ron Paul won the past two years. Today Santorum is outright accusing Romney of rigging the vote:
Romney beat Santorum by 7 points Saturday in a straw poll of almost 3,500 attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Santorum pointed out that Ron Paul had won the poll in both of the past two years "because he just trucks in a lot of people pays for their ticket, they come in and vote and then leave."
"I don't try to rig straw polls," Santorum said on CNN's State of the Union.
Paul actually came in last on Saturday, having declined to address the conference or to activate his base for the straw poll. But Santorum said that wasn't the case with Romney.
"You have to talk to the Romney campaign and how many tickets they bought," Santorum said. "We've heard all sorts of things."
Romney won with 38 percent, followed by Santorum at 31 percent, Gingrich at 15 percent and Ron Paul at 12 percent. It is notable that the combined voted received by Santorum and Gingrich significantly exceeds that received by Romney. I believe that if Newt Gingrich were to leave the race, Rick Santorum would be the most likely winner. On the other hand, polls show that Santorum supporters are more mixed in their second place choices, probably due to Newt Gingrich's past, and Romney would remain the front runner if Gingrich dropped out.
Romney also won in Maine, but only by three points over Ron Paul, the only other candidate to actively campaign in the state. Only beating a crackpot such as Ron Paul by three percent is hardly very impressive. This might be partially be because the major Republican candidates have seen no point in devoting any effort to campaigning against Paul, hoping to keep some of his supporters in the party. They know that any concentrated effort to bring up Paul's negatives would easily knock him back into the single digits should he ever become a real threat.
Although the conventional wisdom has been that Mitt Romney is the probable Republican nominee, he is certainly having a hard time establishing himself as a front runner. Before today's poll came out, Nate Silver listed ten previous front-runners in alphabetical order, including some Republicans who led in the polls without being a declared candidate: Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Donald Trump. Today, Public Policy Polling makes Rick Santorum the eleventh. Santorum leads at 38 percent. Romney trails at 23 percent, with Gingrich at 17 percent and Ron Paul at 13 percent.
Rick Santorum does even better if he does not have to divide he conservative vote with Newt Gingrich. If Gingrich were to drop out, the poll shows that 58 percent of his supporters would go to Santorum. In a such a three way race, Santorum get to 50 percent, while Romney would be at 28 percent and Paul at 15 percent.
Leadership in the GOP race has not meant very much to date, but falling behind at this stage does create problems for Romney. He might go negative against Santorum as he did against Gingrich, but his negative ads are starting to backfire. Some suggest that instead of going negative against Santorum, Romney must convert to a positive campaign. I'm not sure how a man who lacks any core beliefs or convictions can do this. His strongest pitch is that he can make up the biggest lies about Barack Obama.
The Maine caucuses conclude tonight with a two-man race between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. There is speculation that Paul might be able to pull an upset victory. If you cannot beat a crackpot like Ron Paul, it is hard to see victory for the nomination as inevitable.
There's another potential embarrassment for Romney. Public Policy Polling is also seeing the start of a surge for Santorum in Michigan. A loss in Michigan would be devastating to Romney, both for losing his home state and because of reinforcing Santorum's dominance over Romney in the Midwest. Perhaps Romney will try to flip-flop on having been born and raised in Michigan. Would Mitt Romney's birth certificate then become an issue?
CPAC is also conducting their straw poll. To paraphrase Jay Leno, Romney is promising to change his views to whatever views CPAC members desire. Romney pandered before them, claiming to be "severely conservative." The word severe might sound out of place here, unless you see it as an honest admission from Romney, such as "I am severely insane" or, at very least, "I am severely out of touch with the voters of this country."
Least surprising news I've heard today: Super PAC supporting conspiracy theorist Ron Paul is operated by a Truther. (I'm even more concerned about the amount of support Paul gets from neo-Nazis and white supremacists who understand the most likely result of implementing Paul's views.)

Mining Publication: Performance of Roof Support Under High Stress in a U.S. Coal Mine
February 2004
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL), RAG Pennsylvania, and Strata Control Technologies of Australia have collaborated to conduct an extensive study of roof bolt strata interaction at the Emerald Mine in southwestern Pennsylvania. The main goal of the project was to obtain detailed data on the interaction between the mine roof and the support elements for use in modeling studies. The study site was a longwall tailgate subjected to high horizontal stress. Three arrays of instruments were installed at the site--one in the tailgate entry and two in an adjacent crosscut. Pumpable concrete cribs were present in the tailgate array, and cable bolts were installed in one of the crosscut arrays. The instruments included mechanical and sonic extensometers for measuring roof movement, instrumented roof bolts, and three-dimensional roof stress cells. The study was ultimately successful in determining the magnitude of the horizontal stress concentration, the height of roof failure and the roof failure sequence, and the loading history of the primary roof supports.

How soon before fuel prices start to climb
How soon before fuel prices start to climb even higher ?
Already started.My local asda has gone up 4p in as many weeks.I paid 1.44.9 for diesel yesterday.For the last couple of years,I've got the feeling that fuel retailers are in cahoots with Osbourne.Just before the last couple of budgets,the fuel has gone up a few pence per litre.Osbourne will now say the fuel will not increase in the budget but of course he is already getting the increase anyway but tries to make out he's doing everyone a favour.
There is a FAIRFUEL mass lobby to MP's at Westminster on 7th March to try and force a duty cut.
I also think that fuel outlets are keeping prices up as demand has reduced so they are trying to maintain profit levels. What i cannot fathom is the why the laws of chemistry are different in UK compared to the rest of Europe. One motoring supplement stated that diesel was mor expensive than petrol as you don't get as much diesel from each barrel of oil as you do petrol. To increase the amount of deisel needs a more expensive refining process. Fine, but that being the case it still does not answer the question as to why UK diesel is so much more expensive than UK petrol when that is not the case in Europe. I actually think it is the retail trade keeping profits up as more diesel and fuel efficient cars come on the roads.
I've just seen diesel at £1.46.9 in the Wye Valley. I'll stick with LPG.

GM to invest $1.5B in US factories this year
DETROIT - General Motors says it will invest $1.5 billion in its North American factories this year.
North American President Mark Reuss announced the figure in a speech Wednesday night but gave no details. The company says specific plants and job numbers will come later.
The president of GM Canada, which exports much of its production to the United States, was similarly vague about the company's plans earlier this week.
GM is revamping 70 per cent of its U.S. models as it switches from the oldest lineup in the industry to the newest.
Reuss says the investment is in addition to the $10.2 billion GM already has spent on its factories since July of 2009. The company has added about 2,000 U.S. jobs since then.
The Canadian Auto Workers union has protested that some of the work currently done by its members is to be moved to the United States, where GM workers are represented by the United Auto Workers.
The CAW has suggested 1,000 jobs could be lost when all production of the Camaro sports car moves to a Michigan plant. However, GM Canada president Kevin Williams said Tuesday that it's too soon to say how many Canadian jobs — if any — will be lost when GM moves Camaro production out of Oshawa, Ont.
GM recently unveiled new full-size pickup trucks, a completely redone Chevrolet Corvette and a Cadillac luxury version of the Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric car. It says more announcements are coming.

Furniture dating from the 1700s and other antiques outfit this 1852 brick inn. Most rooms have a gas or electric fireplace, and several have a whirlpool tub.

The inn is a block from Skaneateles Lake and the restaurant and shopping district.

It has been a long-standing policy at the Tribune-Star not to publish the names of crime victims. As with any policy, there are exceptions, such as when a victim has been killed or severely injured, or is a public figure. For the most part, however, the policy is straightforward.
The principle behind the policy is simple. Crime victims are in their unfortunate situation through no fault of their own. By not naming them in our news coverage, they have a chance to maintain at least some degree of privacy.
With news, however, nothing is ever simple. At least not always. The public's right to know is a guiding principle for any news organization, and there are times when it trumps all others.
We found ourselves in an awkward situation last week that certainly tested our policy concerning the use of crime victims' names. It happened in the case of the 12-year-old girl who went missing. Understandably alarmed at her disappearance, the girl's parents contacted police, who issued an area-wide alert. Local media, including the Tribune-Star, were soon enlisted to help get the word out to the public in hopes the girl could be located. Her name and photograph were used and displayed in print, in online news reports and on television.
More than a day went by with the girl's name and photos saturating the local news. The Thursday newspaper displayed her picture at the top of page 1, and her full name appeared four times on the page.
By early afternoon Thursday, the case changed rapidly. The girl was located, and investigators soon announced that they believed she was a victim of sexual abuse by two of the men with whom she was found. By day's end, the two men, one 18 and the other 24, were in police custody under allegations of child molesting.
When the news story shifted from that of a missing person to an alleged sex crime involving a pre-teen girl, our approach to the story changed as well. But we had to ask ourselves, did it make sense to no longer use the girl's name when it had been used so prominently the previous two days? After all, people following the story already knew the girl's name and had seen her face repeatedly in photos. Were we really accomplishing anything by suddenly not using her name or showing her face?
The questions were provocative. And reasonable people can reach different conclusions (as was the case inside our newsroom). Ultimately, our decision was to immediately treat the case, and those involved, for what it was — an alleged crime.
We cannot take back previous pictures or references to the girl's name. Nor can we control how other news organizations decide to handle the matter going forward. But we can at least cease using her name and photo in the future. I don't know if it will help the girl and her family regain any sense of privacy. It just seems like the right thing to do.
As always, I am interested in your feedback and opinions.

MAX JONES: Newspapers can be fun, too; check out Readers' Choice
Smart and savvy newspaper readers (that's all of you, of course) know full well that their daily consumption of news and information isn't an exclusively high-brow pursuit.
MAX JONES: Dawn of new day in local elections
After a year off from the electoral process, counties across Indiana are gearing up for their next exercise in democratic politics, the 2014 primary election.
MAX JONES: Readers and writers — we've got lots of them
When people grab their daily newspaper, you can pretty much predict the reading path most will take. Readers have habits, as academic and professional surveys have shown.
MAX JONES: Digging for wisdom in Larrison's lament
Ferocious winter storms have been a rarity in west-central Indiana in recent decades, even though heavy snow or sub-zero stretches of days drop in occasionally to remind us how miserable they can make us.
MAX JONES: Picture story captures Bill Wolfe's adventure
It was about one year ago when Tribune-Star chief photographer Joe Garza decided to stop by Bill Wolfe's downtown studio to see what new projects were being born. On the day of Joe's impromptu visit, Bill was busy planning the very early stages of a project that would dominate coming months — the creation of the Larry Bird statue.
MAX JONES: Fight for public access among Dave Cox's legacies
A group of Indiana newspaper editors who advise the Hoosier State Press Association on issues related to access to public records and meetings had the opportunity to meet new Public Access Counselor Luke Britt last week.
MAX JONES: Ernie Pyle's IU legacy should be preserved
As an alum of Indiana University-Bloomington, where I received a bachelor's degree in journalism many moons ago, I've been watching with keen interest the ongoing discussion about merging the School of Journalism with other areas of communications, such as PR and filmmaking, inside the College of Arts & Sciences.
MAX JONES: 2013 'progress edition' will be unveiled Saturday
Late summer is one of the busiest times of year in our always-busy newsroom.
MAX JONES: Telling a river's story, in words and pictures
Among a newspaper's most valuable assets are its storytellers, the men and women who employ their journalistic skills and talents to report, write and capture pictures of topics relevant to readers.
MAX JONES: For loyal readers, a bit of news from the T-S newsroom
As journalists toiling to create a content-rich, relevant and compelling community newspaper each day, we feel a special bond with our legions of readers across the Wabash Valley and beyond.
MAX JONES: The American Newspaper: Changing? Yes. Dying? No way!
It happened again this past January when all those "looking at the year ahead" stories started popping up on Internet "news" websites and broadcast "news" programs. Under a provocative headline reading something like "Five industries/businesses doomed to tank in the coming year," there it was, a prediction based on an unsubstantiated "expert" analysis that the newspaper industry will continue in 2013 to suffer its slide into oblivion.
MAX JONES: Call it religion if you want, it's still bigotry
The tiny grocery store my grandfather operated in the 1950s and '60s was often a gathering spot for the colorful cast of neighborhood characters that populated my hometown. I liked hanging out there with my brothers or cousins because it was good entertainment and we all enjoyed the way our granddad interacted with the locals.
MAX JONES: Social media can actually serve a useful purpose
If you've spent any time at all on Facebook and Twitter, you know that so much of what we now call social media is mindless banter. Not that this is a bad thing.
MAX JONES: There are simple ways to get your letter published
As an old year turns into a new year, I am inclined to look back and assess the newspaper's performance on behalf of readers the past 12 months. When I do, the volume and quality of reader letters we publish always amazes me.
MAX JONES: Newspapers have story to tell about bright future
Rarely does a week go by when someone doesn't call, write or stop me on the street to express how much they value their local newspaper and appreciate what it means to the community. Usually they like to tell me that it's the print edition they find most satisfying, but many acknowledge they also use the online edition to keep an eye on things as well.
Max Jones: Dances for CHANCES — great fun for worthy cause
Many years ago — too many to ponder at the moment — I joined a community theater troupe in Sullivan and had the opportunity to perform in several Broadway musicals. In one instance, I was fortunate to have the lead role portraying George M. Cohan in the musical "George M!"
MAX JONES: News dynamics sometimes test an editor's principles
It has been a long-standing policy at the Tribune-Star not to publish the names of crime victims
MAX JONES: Got a question for Lugar-Mourdock debate? Submit it
Hoosier voters, especially those who choose a Republican ballot for the May 8 primary election, face a difficult decision this spring. Longtime U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar faces a spirited re-election challenge from state Treasurer Richard Mourdock for the GOP Senate nomination. The winner advances to a general election showdown in the fall with the presumed Democrat nominee, Rep. Joe Donnelly, and any third-party or independent candidates who qualify to run.
MAX JONES: The sun never sets on Indiana's time-zone debate
When Mitch Daniels aggressively pushed for Indiana to adopt daylight-saving time in his first term as governor, I admit I was not enthusiastic. The state, I figured, had found a way to handle its awkward time-zone geography by merely maintaining the time status quo while states around it changed their clocks twice a year. We peacefully coexisted with that strategy for a couple of decades.
MAX JONES: It is amazing what an energized downtown can do
For those of us who've watched the inspired growth and development of downtown Indianapolis through the years, it's hard to understand sometimes the amazement some express at what's been created.
MAX JONES: More changes and challenges, but we're getting there
As a newspaper lands on your porch each day, or you grab it from a local vendor, the complex manufacturing process that goes into producing it is probably the furthest thing from your mind.
MAX JONES: Arranging the pieces so it all makes sense
Putting together a newspaper, with its diverse mix of content, is sort of like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. You just have to keep mixing, matching and playing with the pieces until things begin to look right.
MAX JONES: Community newspapers too valuable to go away
These days, rarely a week goes by without someone — a co-worker, a friend, a professional associate, an acquaintance, etc. — asking for my thoughts about the future of the newspaper industry.
MAX JONES: Angry emotion yet to rear its head in mayoral race
October has arrived. Five weeks remain before Election Day, and a staple ingredient seems to be missing from Terre Haute's mayoral campaign season.
MAX JONES: Join us as we walk in the shadows of 9/11
The 10th anniversary of 9/11 has sparked renewed interest toward a haunting time in modern history. With all that's happened the past 10 years related to the terrorist attacks of 2001, it still seems like only yesterday that we all were watching those terrible images of commercial airliners flying into buildings, towers collapsing and grief-stricken people all across America — and the world — mourning the victims.
MAX JONES: 9/11 'moments' still vivid 10 years later
With the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaching, Americans are recalling in vivid detail where they were when they first learned of the terrorist attacks.
MAX JONES: Something special — courtesy of your newspaper
Publishing a daily newspaper is our bread and butter here at the Tribune-Star.
MAX JONES: Ernie Pyle never ceases bringing pride to Indiana
Once again, Ernie Pyle has made me proud to be a journalist.
MAX JONES: What do you know about that founding Declaration?
Of all the national holidays Americans celebrate, July 4th — Independence Day — sports the most essential link to the country's shared history and ideals.
MAX JONES: Ready, action! Video lets us tell even better stories
Those of you who make the Tribune-Star's online edition part of your reading routine — and there are approximately 40,000 of you each week who do so — have been treated recently to an enhanced feature on our website.

The German National Team—Polska Edition
By Daniel Kaiser ,
Could Germany field a national team which is exclusively made up of Polish-born players?
Yes, argues Daniel Kaiser and gives an outlook for a possible 2010 team where even the coaching staff and bus driver are of Polish origin.
He left out German players who have a Polish background but who were not born in Poland.
Discuss: Do you think this team has enough quality to qualify for a European or World Championship?
born as Rafal Szafarczyk
place of birth: Kędzierzyn-Koźle, Poland
birth date: 30 January 1979
current club: FC Nuremberg
Won the German cup in 2007
In 2006/07 Raphael Schäfer had the season of his life winning the German cup and lifting Nuremberg to a 6th place in the Bundesliga table. His coach publicly stated that Raphael Schäfer should get a chance to play in the national team.
The next season he replaced Hildebrand at VFB Stuttgart and had a terrible start which saw him degraded to a bench warmer. Now he is back at Nuremberg and seems to be back on track with good performances for the Franconians.
born as Łukasz Sienkiewicz
place of birth: Tychy, Poland
birth date: 9 October 1985
current club: Bayer 04 Leverkusen
caps for Germany: Three
"Lukas II" as he was called by the Cologne tabloids has a lot in common with his friend Lukas "I" Podolski. Both came to Germany at the age of five. Their parents settled in Bergheim where they started to play at the local club before both of them were discovered by former Cologne coach Marcel Koller and had their first Bundesliga matches in 2003/04.
His father was a former Polish football player who died at the age of 38.
When he was 19 years-old his mobile rang and depicted an American phone number. Jürgen Klinsmann inivted him to play for the German national team.
Due to some serious knee injuries, Sinkiewicz couldn`t defend his spot in the German national team. However, the German national team is in desperate need of good center backs and if he manages to get back to his old form, he might sooner or later get another chance to play for the Eagles.
born as Tomasz Cichon
place of birth: Ruda Śląska, Poland
birth date: 9 January 1976
current club: VFL Osnabrück
20 caps for the German U-21
Thomas Cichon played 212 matches for FC Cologne before moving to VFL Osnabrück. There he has established himself as the corner stone in the Bundesliga Two team`s defense.
place of birth: Gliwice, Poland
birth date: 1 February 1987
current club: SV Werder Bremen
10 caps for the German U-21
Sebastian Boenisch started his professional career at Schalke 04 before being moving to Werder Bremen in 2007.
He was invited to join the Polish U-19 in February 2006 but opted to play for Germany instead. Shortly before his 21st birthday he was undecided and thought about playing for the Polish national team. But in the end he opted for Germany again.
He has shown some weaknesses in defending so far, but if he improves and impresses at Werder Bremen, he has a good chance to get a spot in the German national team in the near future.
Video (in German) in which he explains why he opted for Germany over Poland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBxZf_oGLSw
place of birth: Zabrze, Poland
birth date: 25 January 1985
current club: VFL Osnabrück
11 caps for the German U-20
Paul Thomik won the U-19 German championship playing for Bayern Munich`s youth team. He then moved to VFL Osnabrück via a spell at Unterhaching and has established himself as one of the strongest right wingers in the second Bundesliga.
place of birth: Sosnowiec, Poland
birth date: 17 March 1986
current club: CF Getafe
19 caps for the German U-21
A few years ago, Polanski was hailed as one of Germany`s most promising young players. But his performances at Gladbach lacked consistency and he found himself on the bench last year. So he decided to move to CF Getafe in the Primera Division, where he showed some strong performances against giants like Barca and Real Madrid.
If his form continues he will soon find himself in the German national team as a potential replacement of Thorsten Frings.
He came to Germany as a three year-old and obtained German citizenship a few months later. Unlike Lukas Podolski he has little connection to Poland and states on his website that he has still some relatives in Sosnowiec, the Polish town where he was born, but hasn`t been there for a decade.
35 year old Bernd Schneider is commonly regarded as the most technically gifted German player of his generation. He was born on 17 december 1973 in the East German town of Jena.
However, a Polish journalist of "Twoja Gazeta" has recently claimed that Bernd Schneider wasn`t born in Jena but in the Polish province of Silesia as Arkadiusz Skrzypiciel.
Asked whether this rumour was true, Schneider said: "I have also heard about that allegation. But I was definately born in Jena."
Actually, I don`t hold this rumour to be true either. But the story needed to be told and that`s why I included legendary Arkadiusz Skrzypiciel in my team.
born as Sławomir Paweł Freier
place of birth: Bytom, Poland
birth date: 26 July 1979
current club: VFL Bochum
19 caps for the German national team
Paul`s father Eugen Freier was a football player at Polonia Bytom. But an injury in a match against German side VFL Bochum ended his career in 1976. Ironically, it was at VFL Bochum where his son managed to gain national attention after a great debut season in 1999. In 2002 he got selected for the German national team. His last match for German was in February 2005 against Argentina.
place of birth: Tczew, Poland
birth date: 22 March 1984
current club: Hamburger SV
18 caps for Germany (one goal)
Piotr Trochowski is different from the other Polish-born players in my selection, since he was not born in the Polish province of Silesia but in a small town near Gdansk. His family moved to Hamburg when he was five years old.
When he was 14 the highly talented midfielder got an invitation for the German U-15.
His parents, however, wanted to see him represent Poland and tried to persuade Polish football authorities of their son`s qualities. His mother didn`t know the adress of the Polish FA and hence published—without the knowledge of her son—an advert in a Polish sports magazine praising her son`s technical skills and asked the Polish FA to invite him to its youth programme.
She didn`t get a response and a few years later Trochowski was one of three Polish-born players who helped Germany defeat the country they were born in at the European Championship.
This season Piotr Trochowski has established himself as one of Hamburg`s best players and has become a regular in the German national team.
born as Mirosław Marian Kloze
place of birth: Opole, Poland
birth date: 9 June 1978
current club: FC Bayern Munich
87 caps for Germany (44 goals)
Not much needs to be said of Miroslav Klose—one of Germany`s all-time leading goalscorers. Miroslav Klose is married to Polish-born Sylwia (she came to Germany as a two year-old) and their children are raised bilingually.
When a member of the Polish Parliament said that the German national team would only be half as good without their "two Poles," Miroslav`s father Josef gave a furious response in the Polish tabloid "Fakt" stating that he doesn`t want to be considered Polish but Silesian or European.
"Everything my son has achieved so far can be credited to the German clubs and my own efforts."
born as Łukasz Podolski
place of birth: Gliwice, Poland
birth date: 4 June 1985
current club: FC Bayern Munich
60 caps for Germany (31 goals)
Podolski is one of Germany`s most dangerous attackers. He scored 30 goals for the German national team at the tender age of 23. Only Pelé, Sven Rydell, Ronaldo, Sándor Kocsis, Stern John, and Ferenc Puskás had scored more goals on the international stage at that age.
Lukas Podolski has very strong connections to Poland. He speaks Polish at home, his girlfriend is Polish, he listens to Polish hip hop and is a fan of Polish ski jumper Adam Malysz. He often visits his grandmother in Gliwice and refused to celebrate the goals he scored against Poland.
And yet he also stated that as far as football is concerned Germany is his home country and that his mentality is German: "For me it was always clear that I would play for Germany."
place of birth: Piekary Śląskie, Poland
birth date: 8 June 1969
current occupation: youth coach at VFL Bochum
Caps for East Germany: Seven / caps for Germany: 17
Dariusz Wosz is a Bundesliga legend. He played 324 matches in the German top flight scoring 38 goals and leading Bochum to a fifth place in 1995/96.
place of birth: Tarnowskie Góry, Poland
birth date: 7 August 1968
current occupation: head coach of amateur club TSV Grafing
Martin Max was a late bloomer. He was an average striker for most of his career but after his 30th birthday he became the most dangerous attacker in the Bundesliga (396 matches, 126 goals, Bundesliga top scorer in 2000 and 2003). He only played one match for Germany: eight minutes in a friendly against Argentina in 2002.
Former light heavyweight boxer Dariusz Michalczewski became a German citizen in 1991three years after he defected from the Polish boxing national team in order to stay in Germany.
Nicknamed "Tiger" for his agressive boxing style, Dariusz Michalczewski will take care of the players` fitness and wants to focus on what the Germans call "Zweikampf."
real name: Vivian Schmitt
place of birth: Bydgoszcz, Poland
birth date: 31 March 1978
current occupation: adult movie star
Podolski was voted "Best Newcomer" at the World Cup 2006 in Germany. Vivian Schmitt got the same award two years earlier at the annual Venus fair for adult entertainment in Berlin.
The 30-year-old's strengths lie in therapeutic treatment. Her duties at the German national team will include not only rehab work but also preventing injuries to players. Schmitt has already worked with numerous top athletes.
real name: Magdalena Kowalczyk
birth date: 7 November 1979
current occupation: comedian, actress
Best press secretary ever: Magda speaks German, Polish, Russian, Berlin dialect and German with a fake Polish accent. And she is better looking than the current Press Secretary Harald Stenger...
birth place: Nysa, Poland
birth date: 23 December 1971
current profession: paraglider
Ewa represents the German paragliding team but still has a Polish passport. She regards herself as European and doesn`t believe in God. Nevertheless she survived being sucked into a storm that pulled her higher than Mount Everest which doesn`t come short of a miracle.
Read the breathtaking story of her survival: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/dead-luck-ewas-flight-of-fury/2007/02/16/1171405421626.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap3
Honestly, if you have survived something like this, you surely are in a good position to convince football players that there is no reason of being afraid of penalty kicks.
real name:Natalia Siwek
place of birth: Wroclaw, Poland
birth date: 29 March 1980
current profession: actress
Natalia Avelon starred in the German movie "Das wilde Leben" (english title: 8 Miles High). In one part of this flick she travels the world in a VW bus.
American trailer of "Miles High": http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=WNSMHBjYP_8
She also duetted with HIM singer Ville Valo for a cover of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's song "Summer Wine" as a part of the Das Wilde Leben soundtrack: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=EOs2TSXTOkQ&feature=related

Surprise BFP November 2013 | Barrett "Bear" Born July 15th, 2013
I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

Trade Facilitation, Information Technology and SMEs : Emerging Evidences from India
This paper look into the key issues concerning trade facilitation and SMEs, particularly how information technology related measures have influenced SMEs. India undertook focused and dedicated trade facilitation (TF) initiatives for improving infrastructure and the regulatory regime dealing with its external sector. Information technology (IT) and information technology enabled services (ITES) are prominently placed centre-stage of the trade process reforms. Despite full automation of the cargo clearance process, constant personal follow-up at various stages is still needed, which small and medium enterprises with a low volume of trade find it difficult to pursue. This leaves SMEs with very little option but to rely on CHAs, which has its own implications for transaction costs. Moreover, in India some of the key legislations are also not SME friendly. For instance, the customs automation programme does not distinguish between small and large players, despite SMEs contribution in Indias trade being consistently above the 30 per cent mark.Download Info

Humans Not Solely to Blame for Sea Turtle Declines
28 April 2011 1:00 pm
Humans are pushing sea turtles to the brink of extinction by entangling them in fishing gear, tossing plastic garbage into their habitats, and building resorts on prime nesting beaches, among other affronts. That's the going hypothesis, anyway. But a new study suggests that our transgressions are peanuts compared to natural oceanic cycles, at least for loggerheads. The findings don't let people off the hook, the authors say, but they do provide new insight into the ways climate can shape turtle populations.
Loggerheads lay their eggs on subtropical beaches around the world. After hatching, baby sea turtles head out to sea where they spend years maturing. When females reach breeding age—25 to 35 years old for loggerheads—they clamber ashore to lay eggs on the beach. Nest counts are the main source of demographic data for sea turtles, but it's hard to estimate population size from these counts. Between the mid-1990s and 2006, loggerhead nests in Florida—one of the species' nesting epicenters—declined from roughly 55,000 per year to around 30,000. That drop and declines elsewhere prompted U.S. federal agencies to propose upgrading most loggerheads from threatened to endangered under the Endangered Species Act.
Numerous studies have shown that fishing bycatch kills an alarming number of sea turtles each year, and the threats posed by many other human activities are well documented. But ecologists Kyle Van Houtan of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center in Honolulu and John Halley of the University of Ioannina in Greece wondered if other factors were also at work. In the new study, published online this week in PLoS ONE, the duo measured the effect of certain ocean conditions on loggerhead nesting, using nest count data from Japan and Florida stretching back as far as the 1950s. Specifically, they looked at two long-term warming and cooling cycles whose effect on sea turtles hadn't been investigated, one in the Pacific where Japanese turtles spend their formative years, and another in the Atlantic, where young Floridian turtles live. They also looked at recent ocean conditions, in particular the temperature of the sea surface near Japan and Florida the winter before a given breeding season. Such conditions have been shown to influence whether females are robust enough to make the long migration to shore and produce hundreds of eggs.
Using mathematical models, Van Houtan and Halley found a strong correlation between the nest counts in a given year and the state of the long-term oceanic cycles some 3 decades earlier. That's when most nesting females would have been in their first year of life, the researchers say. Van Houtan and Halley think the two oceanic cycles—the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)—can make or break a young turtle's survival; favorable cycles bring food and good weather, for example. The number of survivors seems to strongly affect the number of nests.
For Van Houtan, this correlation conjures an astronomical analogy. "When you're counting nesting turtles, in some ways it's kind of like watching the stars," he says. "When you look out across a starry night, you're observing something that was set into motion a long time ago, that happened … far away."
The ecologists also found a modest role for ocean-surface temperature just prior to the breeding season. Together, the past and recent oceanic conditions explained about two-thirds—and as much as 88%—of loggerhead nesting activity.
Based on the data, Van Houtan and Halley predict continued declines in the Japanese loggerhead population over the next 25 years, but a rebound in the Florida population. While most loggerhead nesting variation appears to be natural, Van Houtan insists that humans bear a good share of the blame. He suspects that our actions may account for much of the remaining nesting variation. And he says that global warming could alter the PDO and AMO to the turtles' disadvantage.
Rebecca Lewison, an ecologist at San Diego State University who studies sea turtles, says the findings are important and likely apply to other sea turtle species. One key take-away is that biologists can't look to annual changes in nesting activity as a way to gauge the success of any particular management strategy, she says.
Tony Tucker, a sea turtle biologist with Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, is more critical. While praising the models' sophistication and the paper's illumination of the link between climate and nesting, Tucker says he is not convinced that baby-turtle survival is more important in determining nest counts than the number of adult females in good breeding condition. By extension, he says, he doubts that ocean conditions long ago and far away have a bigger effect on turtle nesting than recent ones do.
Elizabeth Griffin Wilson, a marine scientist with the international conservation group Oceana, points out that the new paper does not specifically investigate the effects of factors like fishing bycatch or habitat destruction, so she urges caution in comparing the human and natural toll on sea turtles. Regardless of the final balance, people still have a responsibility to minimize the damage we inflict, she says.

Unrealistic Expectations
Often we fall into the trap of trying to motivate ourselves or others by focusing on what must or should be done in any given situation. Consequently, we end up feeling guilty when we don't live up to our unrealistic expectations. And when we do it to others, we end up angry. So we must stop and ask, "Are we blaming ourselves and others for things that aren't under our or their control? Are our expectations reasonable?" For example, the person in front of you in line at the grocery store has a huge load of groceries and is taking forever. You get angry and frustrated, thinking, "This is unfair—if she knew she was going to buy this much she shouldn't have come during the busiest time of the day!" Discounting the positive Advertisement
