For more information, download the Stakeholder Engagement section of our 2012/2013 Annual Corporate Responsibility Report
AMD's stakeholders include employees, customers, stockholders, social investment analysts, our local community, our suppliers, non-government organizations (NGOs) and others. Each group has followed our progress and plans on corporate responsibility over the years, and we use targeted communications to provide them with relevant information in the most efficient and effective way.
Working with Ceres, an award-winning, non-profit group focused on business and sustainability, AMD has an established stakeholder advisory panel. Interactions with this panel provide AMD with valuable insights and perspective on how to improve our corporate responsibility strategies, communications and performance. Our goal is to engage with these experts twice per year over the long term. AMD believes that long-term engagement helps build a deep understanding of our company and our industry. Similarly, AMD gains meaningful knowledge about the expectations of stakeholder groups outside our company. We use this input to continuously improve our corporate responsibility programs.
AMD has been a leader in bringing together NGOs, companies and socially responsible investors on the serious and complex issue known as "conflict minerals." By co-chairing a multi-stakeholder coalition with the Enough Project, a well-known NGO focused on human rights issues in Africa; AMD has helped forge consensus recommendations on the policy for this issue.
On August 22, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a final rule implementing Section 1502 of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on conflict minerals. In several instances, the SEC referred to the comments received from the multi-stakeholder coalition as important background for the final rule. Following the filing of a lawsuit challenging the final rule, the multi-stakeholder group issued a statement focused on how the members would move forward with implementation efforts regardless of the challenge.
AMD has also engaged with multiple stakeholders in the development and launch of the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade (PPA). AMD is a founding member and sponsor of this effort, and has worked with the U.S. State Department and USAID on the framework of the organization and its goals.
The PPA aims to assist with the development of pilot supply chain systems that will allow businesses to source minerals from mines that have been audited and certified to be conflict-free. The alliance will provide a platform for coordination among government, industry and civil society actors seeking to support conflict-free sourcing from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

AMD employees are our most important stakeholder group. We know that employees – especially younger employees and job seekers – are increasingly seeking employers with values matching their own. We periodically survey our employees worldwide to understand their overall satisfaction, specifically asking them about their impressions of our corporate responsibility programs. The last survey was completed in 2011, and it was gratifying to learn our employees had a very high level of satisfaction with our corporate responsibility programs, averaging 86 percent favorable for all employees surveyed. This was 13 percent higher than the global norm for this question and four percent higher than the norm for high-performing companies. The next survey is planned for Fall 2013.
AMD has a number of ways to engage employees in our corporate responsibility programs, ranging from our employee-driven "Green Teams" and "Go Green" commuter program to our volunteer opportunities, matching gifts program and the AMD Women's Forum. Looking forward, we plan even more engagement activities, such as conservation challenges, contests and awards based on corporate responsibility themes.
For a semiconductor design company like AMD, recruiting, retaining and engaging the world's most talented people is essential to our success as a business. Research shows that corporate sustainability practices can attract, retain and foster a quality workforce1. We informally tested this concept with a brief survey of AMD's Green Team leaders and found that 96 percent of them agree that contributing to a cause, while at work, improves their commitment to their core job functions and to AMD.
AMD is committed to forging relationships with our customers and partners through ongoing interactions that create dialogue and stimulate engagement with our company. These interactions occur consistently both on- and off-line, and provide an understanding of our customers' views. Customer events and activities in 2012 included the following:
AMD actively engages with shareholders, the investment community and third-party ranking and ratings organizations. In 2011, AMD held investor engagement sessions on our strategy and how it is being delivered.
In addition to direct outreach to the Socially Responsible Investor (SRI) Community, AMD regularly works with SRI representatives on our stakeholder panel and developing conflict minerals policy. While we have discussed many issues, a strong message from this group is to continue our consistent execution performance and transparency on corporate responsibility. In 2013, we are planning additional outreach to the SRI community.

Andrew Bynum's Public Welcome to Philly Presser Was a Circus (But the Circus Is Awfully Fun)
Aug 15, 2012, 3:24 PM EST
The whole scene at the National Constitution Center was a bit surreal on Wednesday afternoon.
Andrew Bynum met Sixers Head Coach Doug Collins for the first time earlier in the morning. Just hours later, surrounded by screaming Sixers fans, Bynum was actually asked — by a reporter, no less — if he could envision what a parade down Broad Street would be like.
I don't know, but he should probably meet his new teammates first.
[Press Conference Photo Gallery | VIDEO: Bynum: Making Philly His Home]
His prior knowledge of the Sixers team he's joining? "Not much," he said, admitting he looked over the roster *yesterday* and said, "Wow! we're actually pretty deep."
It was a circus. And Adam Aron was the ring leader.
That said, the circus is pretty fun, isn't it?
The crowd of a couple hundred fans that wrapped around the rotunda was impressive and they greeted Bynum with tremendous applause. They even greeted Adam Aaron like some sort of hero with crazy "Thank! You! Adam!" chants — unheard of; what city am I in?
"I've never experienced something like that," Bynum said of walking through the crowd to the podium. "That's pretty cool, man, the fact that all these fans came out. I'm looking to get it in. This is a golden opportunity for me."
He couldn't get the grin off of his face when he first sat down.
"I just lit up."
The decision to hold the Welcome to Philadelphia press conference for Bynum and Jason Richardson was a unique one, but as far as spectacles go, it most certainly succeeded.
For this one day, Bynum was the pride and joy of Philadelphia sports fans. By all accounts, he doesn't seem too foolish though, realizing that moments like this can be fleeting.
"Hopefully we see all these people back. We want to see them in the arena," Bynum said.
That will be the true test of whether or not Bynum has top-tier star power in Philly. A couple hundred fans showing up and screaming in a museum on your first day at work is pretty remarkable, granted, but whether they truly embrace Bynum as a franchise player worthy of filling an too-often half-empty arena every night remains to be seen. For his part, Bynum is embracing being the man for the first time in his career.
"I haven't been treated like this yet. I've always played with Kobe and Pau and they've kind of been the forefront guys. I've kind of been in the background so now it's a new opportunity and I'm looking forward to it."
He seemed to be excited about getting to have the ball in his hands more frequently and was most confident when talking about adding his size and skill in the middle to the previously lacking Sixers.
"I know this team struggled in the playoffs with rebounding and defense. I can bring that all day to this team. Kind of push us over the top and maybe come out of the East."
Perhaps the only current Sixer with a similar confidence is Evan Turner, but when was the last time a Sixer had that much confidence and could readily deliver on it on a nightly basis? Gotta be No. 3.
As mentioned above, Bynum has yet to meet most of his new teammates, but he is familiar with Spencer Hawes and says he's looking forward to playing alongside him. "I love playing with the twin tower floor. I'm going to fit right in with that with Spencer and myself. Looking forward to it."
Finally, as the circus was ending, all of the basketball questions were asked, and more people started showing up at the National Constitution Center to see the Bruce Springsteen exhibit than a 7-footer. I asked Bynum if he still had that custom-painted purple and gold Dodge Charger (photos).
"I sold it, man. I sold that thing."
As far as cars go though, that one would have fit in nicely at the circus.
The circus is only exciting once in a rare while though. Both Sixers fans and Andrew Bynum hope that excitement translates from the three rings to the hardwood.

The Kawasaki ER-5 has a straightforward parallel-twin middleweight commuter that's as easy to use as a pair of pants. As a cheap workhorse you won't find much wrong with the Kawasaki ER-5 - providing your expectations don't go beyond simply getting from A to B.

The Kawasaki GPZ1100 is more sporty tourer than sports tourer. Launched with zero cutting edge technology but a honking great engine with a hearty midrange that makes rapid riding easy. On the spec sheet the Kawasaki GPZ1100 is an overweight dinosaur but on the road it's actually a great machine. Just don't go chasing the latest GSX-Rs on a twisty road.

Launched the same time as the bigger 750 and 1100 Zephyrs, the Kawasaki Zephyr 550 never really caught on in the UK and once the Zephyr's reputation for corrosion spread, and the rival Suzuki Bandit 600 arrived in 1995, the 550 was doomed.

The Kawasaki Z1 was an awesome bike in its day, but the Zephyr 750/1100 tribute bike - like tribute bands - doesn't quite capture the lairy, dangerous essence of the original. The 750 is too soft, a bit underpowered and the 1100 is simply a lardbucket that makes a Bandit 1200 look like a sportbike.

Women in the Global Struggle Against Apartheid
South African Concul-General Jeanette T. Ndhlovu Sat 12th March 2005 1:00 PM California African American Museum in Los Angeles National Endowment for the Humanities and the California Council for the Humanities
Thursday, May 12, 2005
Los Angeles, CA 90095
South African Consul-General Jeanette T. Ndhlovu, as part of South Africa's National Human Rights Month and Deconstructing Apartheid: The Photography of Peter Magubane, conveys courageous women's efforts to combat apartheid, followed by a Q&A, short film and light repast hosted by the South African Consulate, Los Angeles.
Deconstructing Apartheid: The Photography of Peter Magubane
Peter Magubane, internationally recognized photojournalist, is a social realist, who through his camera documented the plight of minorities in South Africa and the egregious practices of apartheid. His images, bought at great personal cost, spotlighted the government's callous implementation of its punitive racial policies and eventually were instrumental in turning international indifference to concern and opposition. 84 photographs and artifacts document Magubane's examination of the development and implementation of government sanctioned injustice in South Africa. The exhibition's focus is on Magubane's life, dramatic instances of daily life under apartheid and the South African Black Power Movement. The exhibition culminates in its documentation of the indigenous cultures of rural South Africa, preserving and recording their arts and crafts, ceremonies, rites of passage and religious practices as social, economic and political changes transform the nation.
The museum is located at 600 State Drive in Exposition Park. Admission is free. Parking is $6. For more information, please call (213) 744-7432.

Someone wanted this, so I thought I'd work on it.
"I would like anything by Frances Hodgson Burnett, especially A Little Princess, and the Anne of Green Gables series. Thank you to all you wonderful geeks! Oh, and Jane Eyre, please!" I know the name and some of the books, but I haven't read anything by Montgomery. Perhaps the person who asked for this can contribute some info on the author or the series. PLEASE: If there are things to fix, I am more than happy to work on it to make it "perfect."

A teen was found unresponsive in his bed at a Glenville rehab facility. Police continue to investigate whether he may have eaten a narcotic patch intended to treat chronic pain. Our Erin Vannella reports.
GLENVILLE, N.Y. -- "We're waiting on toxicology reports to see if it was an overdose, but right now, it's still in the investigation stages," said Glenville Police Lieutenant Stephen Janik.
A 15-year-old Conifer Park patient died last week after Glenville police say he may have eaten a Fentanyl patch, a tightly regulated prescription for serious pain.
"If it was a 100 mg patch, that would be 100 mg per hour, but it's a patch designed to be worn for three days, so it's actually 7,200 mg of total Fentanyl, which is a tremendous dose," said Clifford Erickson, Albany Medical Center MD, FACEP.
Police say they have reason to believe another 15-year-old brought the patches into the rehab facility and provided them to more than just the one victim.
"We interviewed every patient in the adolescent unit at Conifer Park," said Janik. "They were all very cooperative. The staff at Conifer Park were extremely cooperative. The administration at Conifer Park were extremely cooperative."
But without completed toxicology reports, police have only charged the suspect with criminal sale of a controlled substance and say more charges could be pending.
"Unfortunately, we wanted to talk to the individual who provided the patches, but his parents did not want to cooperate with the investigation," said Janik.
No matter how the patches came into the suspect's possession, doctors say it's a good lesson to handle medications safely.
"You have to keep track of your prescriptions, especially if there's young family members around," said Erickson. "Things like, especially the narcotics, need to be very carefully watched because their side effects can be catastrophic."
Conifer Park declined our offer to talk. Toxicology reports will be released next week.

The Glam Awards at XL Nightclub, Cabaret & Lounge (slide show)
Gay nightlife creatures flocked to the Glam Awards to honor themselves.
After being postponed for two weeks by that jerk Sandy, Cherry Jubilee's Glam Awards—which honor the brightest stars in NYC gay nightlife—hit the stage at XL this weekend. Cohosts Sherry Vine, Peppermint and Bianca Del Rio (the latter took home the entertainer of the year award) oversaw the proceedings, which included awards for best DJ (Scotty Rox), best go-go boys (Matthew Camp and Jay Roth split the honor) and best blogger/writer (Michael Musto; read his recap here). TONY's photographer—who was also a nominee!—caught all the action.

I do not remember when I last saw an ISU WBB team shoot this poorly.....from 3 and 2 point range.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
Do these girls shoot every day? They practice for hours, all the time. And, we have 17 points? Something is very wrong with that. Somebody needs to give Christopherson a beer before the game. She needs to relax. Wow.
I am betting theBill halftime talk will be "intersting". Good defense after the start but offense = yikes!
20-17 at halftime. I have to listen to this on Cyclone radio. I can practically see it. I think if we keep up the defensive pressure we can win this. Morgan Johnson only has 4 points. Their team has trouble without her scoring much. Hallie hasn't scored, hasn't shot a 3. I think they should work some plays to get Hallie an open three. She is our best 3 pt. shooter and hasn't shot one yet. Iowa obviously is keying on Hallie. This is where we are hurt without Poppens. My cat is sleeping on my computer case.

Looks like we have dueling game threads but this one was started first...staying here!
You folks are being unreasonable. Of course we are tight. Lots of strange things happened coming up to this game. They pulled Poppens at the last minute, and the defense has been keying on Hallie. That threw us off, plus Moody didn't start which threw the whole team somewhat off. Brynn has been known to miss shots before. She is playing away from home, she needs to keep putting it up. They were hoping Z would hit some shots, that didn't happen. We are a good team, just need to keep steady on.
Nice announcers on the network, going with iTunes for the 2nd half. We haven't shot a free throw.
I've closed the other thread...at least suggested people move over here.
Holy **** two touchy fouls on Brynn

Rollo | |
Rollo on the Six Dukes statue in Falaise town square. | |
Reign | 911–927 |
Predecessor | None |
Successor | William I |
House | House of Normandy |
Born | c. 846 |
Died | c. 931 Normandy |
Burial | Rouen Cathedral |
Rollo (c. 846 – c. 931), baptised Robert[1] and so sometimes numbered Robert I to distinguish him from his descendants, was a Norse nobleman of Norwegian or Danish descent who was founder and first ruler of the Viking principality which soon became known as Normandy. His descendants were the Dukes of Normandy, and following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, kings of England.
The name "Rollo" is a Latin translation from the Old Norse name Hrólfr, modern Icelandic name Hrólfur and Scandinavian name Rolf (cf. the latinization of Hrólfr into the similar Roluo in the Gesta Danorum), but Norman people called him by his popular name Rou(f) (see Wace's Roman de Rou).[2] Sometimes his name is turned into the Frankish name Rodolf(us) or Radulf(us) or the French Raoul, that are derived from it.[Note 1]
Historical evidence[edit]
Rollo was a powerful Viking leader of contested origin. Dudo of Saint-Quentin, in his De moribus et actis primorum Normannorum ducum,[3] tells of a powerful Danish nobleman at loggerheads with the king of Denmark, who had two sons, Gurim and Rollo; upon his death, Rollo was expelled and Gurim killed. William of Jumièges also mentions Rollo's prehistory in his Gesta Normannorum Ducum, but states that he was from the Danish town of Fakse. Wace, writing some 300 years after the event in his Roman de Rou, also mentions the two brothers (as Rou and Garin), as does the Orkneyinga Saga.
Norwegian and Icelandic historians identified Rollo instead with Ganger Hrolf (Hrolf, the Walker), a son of Rognvald Eysteinsson, Earl of Møre, in Western Norway, based on medieval Norwegian and Icelandic sagas. The oldest source of this version is the Latin Historia Norvegiae, written in Norway at the end of the 12th century. This Hrolf fell foul of the Norwegian king Harald Fairhair, and became a Jarl in Normandy. The nickname "the Walker", "Ganger" in Norse, came from being so big that no horse could carry him.
Geoffrey of Malaterra, in his The Deeds of Count Roger of Calabria & Sicily & of Duke Robert Guiscard his brother claims Rollo "sailed boldly from Norway".[4]
The question of Rollo's origins was a matter of heated dispute between Norwegian and Danish historians of the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the run-up to Normandy's millennium anniversary in 1911. Today, the debate continues.
Latin Wikisource has original text related to this article: |
Claimed Yngling lineage leading to Rollo[edit]
The Yngling "Fairhair dynasty" lineage introduced in Hversu Noregr byggðist ("How Norway was settled") and the Orkneyinga and Heimskringla sagas suggests a line of Rollo going back to Fornjót, the primeval "king" who "reigned over" Finland and Kvenland.[citation needed] The claimed line leading to Rollo includes Rognvald Eysteinsson, the founder of the Earldom of Orkney.[citation needed]
Raids along the Seine[edit]
In 885, Rollo was one of the lesser leaders of the Viking fleet which besieged Paris under Sigfred. Legend has it that an emissary was sent by the king to find the chieftain and negotiate terms. When he asked for this information, the Vikings replied that they were all chieftains in their own right. In 886, when Sigfred retreated in return for tribute, Rollo stayed behind and was eventually bought off and sent to harry Burgundy.[a]
Later, he returned to the Seine with his followers (known as Danes, or Norsemen). He invaded the area of northern France now known as Normandy. In 911 the Vikings under Rollo again launched an attack on Paris before laying siege to Chartres. The Bishop of Chartres, Joseaume, made an appeal for help which was answered by Robert, Marquis of Neustria, Richard, Duke of Burgundy and Manasses, Count of Dijon. On 20 July 911, at the Battle of Chartres, Frankish forces defeated Rollo despite the absence of many French barons and also the absence of the French King Charles the Simple.[5]
The Principality of Normandy[edit]
In the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (911) with King Charles, Rollo pledged feudal allegiance to the king, changed his name to the Frankish version, and converted to Christianity, probably with the baptismal name Robert.[6] In return, King Charles granted Rollo land between the Epte and the sea as well as parts of Brittany [b] and according to Dudo of St. Quentin, the hand of the King's daughter, Gisela, although this marriage and Gisela herself are unknown to Frankish sources. He was also the titular ruler of Normandy, centered around the city of Rouen. There exists some argument among historians as to whether Rollo was a "duke" (dux) or whether his position was equivalent to that of a "count" under Charles.
According to legend, when required to kiss the foot of King Charles, as a condition of the treaty, he refused to perform so great a humiliation, and when Charles extended his foot to Rollo, Rollo ordered one of his warriors to do so in his place. His warrior then lifted Charles' foot up to his mouth causing the king to fall to the ground.[7]
After 911, Rollo stayed true to his word of defending the shores of the Seine river in accordance to the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte. However, he also continued attacks on Flanders.
After Charles was deposed by Robert I in 922, Rollo considered his oath to the King of France at an end. It started a period of expansion westwards. Negotiations with French barons ended with Rollo being given Le Mans and Bayeux and continued with the seizure of Bessin in 924. The following year saw the Normans attack Picardy.
Rollo began to divide the land between the Epte and Risle rivers among his chieftains and settled there with a de facto capital in Rouen. Over time, Rollo's men intermarried with the local women, and became more settled into French Catholic culture as Normans.[clarification needed]
Two spouses are reported for Rollo:
1. Poppa, said by chronicler Dudo of Saint-Quentin to have been a daughter of Count Berenger, captured during a raid at Bayeux. She was his concubine or wife,[8] perhaps by more danico.[9] They had issue:
- William Longsword, born "overseas".
- Gerloc, wife of William III, Duke of Aquitaine. Dudo fails to identify her mother, but later chronicler William of Jumieges makes this explicit.
- (perhaps) Kadlin, said by Ari the Historian to have been daughter of Ganger Hrolf, traditionally identified with Rollo. She married a Scottish King called Bjolan, and had at least a daughter called Midbjorg, she was taken captive by and married Helgi Ottarson.
2. (traditionally) Gisela of France (d. 919), the daughter of Charles III of France
Sometime around 927, Rollo passed the fief in Normandy to his son, William Longsword. Rollo may have lived for a few years after that, but certainly died before 933. Even though Rollo had converted to Christianity, some of his prior religious roots surfaced at the end.[10]
Rollo is the great-great-great-grandfather of William the Conqueror. Through William, he is an ancestor of the present-day British royal family, as well as an ancestor of all current European monarchs and a great many pretenders to abolished European thrones. A genetic investigation into the remains of Rollo's grandson Richard I and great-grandson Richard II has been announced, with the intention of discerning the origins of the famous Viking warrior.[11]
The "Clameur de Haro" in the Channel Islands is, supposedly, an appeal to Rollo.
Depictions in fiction[edit]
Rollo is the subject of the 17th century play Rollo Duke of Normandy written by John Fletcher, Philip Massinger, Ben Jonson, and George Chapman.
A character based on the historical Rollo, played by Clive Standen, is Ragnar Lodbrok's brother in the 2013 TV series Vikings.[12]
The character "Aragorn" in "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien, is given the nickname "Strider" which echoes of Rollo's name 'Walker' or 'Ganger'.

- ^ This is the traditional account; the presence of Rollo at the siege of Paris is uncertain. Douglas (1942) makes the case that Rollo did not arrive in France until at least 905.
- ^ The precise identity of Breton lands ceded to Rollo is not certain. Charles did not control Brittany, and there was a March, or buffer zone, to protect Neustria (Western Francia) from the Bretons and the Vikings who occupied the Breton territories from 907 to 939. From 907 Brittany was itself subject to a separate series of Viking invasions, and their Ducal heir, Alan II, fled to England for a time. Alan II returned to expel the Vikings and re-established his line's rule over Brittany by 939. In 907 the Breton lands included the Cotentin Peninsula, and by 939 the peninsula appeared to have become part of Normandy.
- ^ Rou is the result of a series of French regular phonetic changes from Hrólfr > Rolf > Rouf to Rou (see Lepelley 15–16) and Norman names in -ouf and -ou(t) : I(n)gouf and Ygout < Old Norse Ingulfr / Ingólfr (Old Danish Ingulf). The variant form Rollo is just a latinization of the root Rol(l)- + Latin suffix -o / -one-, after the Latin names in -o. cf. Cicero / Cicerone and the latinized Germanic short names in -o > -o / -on, instead of -an in Germanic cf. Bero / Beran (see Lepelley 15–16). That is the reason why his name is Rollon in Standard French. Rollo is also known in the documents as Radulf(us) (Old Low Franconian) (or sometimes Rodulf(us)) > French Raoul, that is the French translation of Hróðulfr > Hrólfr, according to the Low Franconian variant form Radulf of Germanic Rodulf / Rudolf.

I think Jalin & Dontre both line up in the slot or in the backfield,, potentially you could see an NFL attack of systematically going at one weak link from the no huddle and making him cover Elliott, Wilson, Marshall and Baugh on successive plays and just picking that poor linebacker apart in space. This will force a shift in coverage and the chance to really take advantage of the defense that shifts to protect its weakness. Clark, Thomas, Spencer, & Brown all day long over the top.
ha ha ha ha this is going to be so much fun!!

Oh yes, the illustrious Nevada. The guy was made fun of on Bucknuts before he even joined. People knew him from TOS and always mocked him. My introduction to this moron was when he asked me to change my avatar because it offended him. My avatar was Obama. Then about 2 weeks after that he told me to delete one of my posts. Apparently I offended his feminine sensibilities. I told him to go f*^k himself. He took it to Steve Helwagen that I was making political posts on the front row which was a blatant lie. He then told me to meet him at the Michigan game to fight. He even gave me his section and row to fight. So yes, Nevada, let me pay 150.00$ to fight random Internet retard and get kicked out of the best Ohio State game of the year. I can only imagine how intelligent he is in everyday life.

Everybody pretty much assumed that,s what I meant. My point had more to do with the fact that I find many of the tweets(like the Op's reference) almost impossible to decipher and I've stopped trying. People just assumed I was making a stance about the appropriateness of following teenagers on twitter. I don't really have an opinion on that.
Go ahead and dv all you want. I obviously don't care.I obviously am gonna laugh out when the OP goes so off the deep end with his assumptions that he calls me a Pedo. you fellas have gotten way too sensitive and this board has gotten about petty squabbles and bickering. But, by all means,Carry on with your little witch hunt even if its not grounded in fact. That doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Wilson might redshirt? Where did you read that? It certainly wasn't in the Boarding House. Meyer doesn't redshirt players unless they get hurt (Warren Ball) or are completely lost (Se'Von Pittman). No way Wilson redshirts if he stays healthy. He's one of the three players competing at the hybrid position, along with Jordan Hall and Jalin Marshall. Urban said this himself.

Your opinion has yet show any value so I don't think I'll worry too much. While your at it, why don't you spin us another yarn. you've become a regular Hans Christian Andersen minus the writing skills.
Lets face it, you're pissed that you are no longer allowed to go around calling posters illiterate red-necks and other racial slurs. If you were about anything real, you atleast would have stuck with your regular M.O. and your little political avi. you are about as spineless as they come.

WILMINGTON — A victim of a drunken driving accident rode his bike to Wilmington to raise money for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Lee Cooper left Salisbury last Wednesday to pedal in honor of his wife Lisa. She died in a drunken driving accident in 1993. Cooper was also in the accident and sustained brain damage, but it didn't stop him from spreading his message.
"Four and a half months in a coma. They said I would never live from it and they said I would never be normal, will never be able to do what I just done. Don't doubt this kid," said Cooper.
Cooper raised just more than $1,000 for MADD, but he is still taking donations. In order to help, visit walklikemadd.org, select Charlotte, NC, and click "donate now".

Gang Members Increasingly Using Facebook And Twitter, Losing Significant Street Cred
That's right folks, gang members are taking to popular social networking sites to brag about crimes, issue threats to rival gangs, and score bitches/drugs/skrilla. Basically everything Facebook and Twitter were invented for.
When a gang member was released from jail soon after his arrest for selling methamphetamine, friends and associates assumed he had cut a deal with authorities and become a police informant.
They sent a warning on Twitter that went like this: We have a snitch in our midst."We are seeing a lot more of it," Johnston said. "They will even go out and brag about doing shootings."
Gang use of Twitter and Facebook still lags behind use of the much-older MySpace, which remains gang members' online venue of choice.
Ah, I was wondering who still used Myspace. It's the gangs, huh? I guess I better delete my old profile before somebody threatens to pop a cap in my ass. Just sayin', I'm trying to keep this ass cap-free (can pull-tabs still okay).

This flexible plan offers an open plan for a relaxed lifestyle. The study can also be used as a 4th bedroom as shown and can even be converted to a formal dining if a single dining area is not adequate. The master suite boasts his and hers WIC's, separate vanities and a separate shower. The family room contains large windows and a corner view making great use of a view lot. These views flow out to the covered outdoor areas making a great place to bbq and enjoy the breeze.

Civil ceremonies are marriages, church weddings are already called Holy Matrimony.putting aside the issue of the vote, a vote should be upheld both sides rallied and the losers of the vote should not have voted if they were unwilling to accept the outcome of the vote.
regarding this issue, america should relabel marriages as domestic partnership. this would render all couples equal and "marriage" would remain a religious ceremony for those whom choose to do it.. like baptism

Photo: Hulton Archive By the time I was 7 years old, Monty Roberts already suspected there was a better way to train horses. Roberts spent his childhood watching cowboys break animals in the traditional way, using restriction, force, and punishment. But he also watched the horses themselves, noticing that they communicated with one another in a language of postures and movements. Roberts suspected that if trainers learned to understand and use this language, the horses would cooperate much more willingly. He was right. Roberts's now famous method, termed horse whispering, can accomplish in 30 gentle minutes what might take traditional trainers three brutal weeks.
I don't have a horse, but I've found Monty Roberts's philosophy very effective in training an animal I do own: me. My body, to be exact. For the first half of my life, I set about "breaking" my body by controlling it with various forms of discipline, and it worked: My body broke. I was chronically ill by the time it occurred to me that anyone caught treating a beast of burden the way I treated myself would be arrested for cruelty to animals. I began to speculate that my body would cooperate better if I learned to "whisper" to it, to interpret its signals and treat it with respect. If you haven't yet learned this lesson, age will teach it to you. Pain, illness, and exhaustion are wonderfully persuasive instructors, and they increase with time unless we learn to heed them. Great! Aging prompts us to learn our body's language, and this can be downright redemptive. In fact, the more we learn to communicate with our bodies, the more we may feel as though we're aging backward, like Merlin the Magician, becoming healthier and more comfortable in our skin with the passage of time. Why Body Whisper?"As we get older," my doctors used to say, "symptoms like yours just start to happen." This is not a comforting thing to hear at the age of 18. Maniacal dieting, intense exercise, persistent sleep deprivation, and self-imposed stress had turned me into a teenage cornucopia of illnesses that usually plague much older people. My muscles and joints hurt constantly. My organs were deteriorating. I contracted every infectious illness the breeze could carry. After more than a decade of this, physicians guessed that I had some unnamed autoimmune syndrome. They had no idea what to do about it. My own approach was to resist, ignore, or rage at my body, but after a couple of near-lethal health crises, I realized this wasn't good enough. I had to force myself to treat my physical being more considerately. It helped me to stop thinking of my body as me and to begin thinking of it as a useful, valuable workhorse. From this perspective, my lifestyle appeared not as righteous self-discipline but as sheer brutality. When I stopped praising myself for self-torture and began listening to my body, I found that there was wisdom in my cells to exceed anything my bewildered doctors could offer. Like a horse that knows the way home, my body naturally gravitated toward the things that were good for it—for all of me. Listening to its "language" improved every aspect of my life: social, emotional, spiritual, and professional, as well as physical. The same thing can happen to you, if you're willing to take up body whispering. From the October 2003 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

I can post a link here to a preview of the thesis from UMI ProQuest so that you can evaluate the extent of the plagiarism. What is typically done in these situations? Is a rewrite a valid option even if the majority of the text is not original (essentially the whole thesis would need to be rewritten in order to comply with common academic standards)? Please note that the adviser of the second thesis was the committee member of the first thesis. Also the adviser of the first thesis was the committee member of the second. Do you think the thesis advisers did not know the contents before signing off on a plagiarized thesis?

Very disappointing article. The tone is incredibly patronising and there is no attempt at balance. How any article entitled "Welsh devolution" can fail to report the level of support for law making powers in the last referendum, 63.4%, is shocking.
The article says that there is little call for tax raising powers. Yet polls show a very different situation.
ICM 64% want some form of tax raising powers
And YouGov show that 57% want most decisions to be made by the Assembly as opposed to 22% by UK government
On top of this there is the statement that "Many people commute from one country to another" why not add the figure that 94% of Welsh workers work in Wales?
There seems to be an attitude in this article not to use any figures, facts or statistics that do not back up the central argument of the author. It is poorly written and biased.
This article, and others like it, are making me seriously question whether I should continue my subscription to this publication.
Please avoid the condescending tone. Welsh independence is an opportunity for the Welsh to innovate and redo its economy.
Indeed, turnout was very poor at the referendum, but very few people opposed and this turnout was despite a struggle to explain how the system advanced from the LCO system. In terms of the Assembly election turnout was low, 42%, but still 4% higher than the London mayoral election and I have never seen the Economist argue that there is a lack of support for having a London mayor.
I'm willing to have the debate and there are valid points that can be made about the differences between Scotland and Wales. However this article lacked any objectivity. It is seriously disappointing that the Economist has decided to ignore facts in favour of a polemic.
What a disappointing article - light on facts and oh dear, out come the same tired stereotypes about Merthyr Tydfil. Yes Merthyr has its problems - but so too does Cardiff and parts of London. In fact Merthyr has lower unemployment and economic inactivity than the London Borough of Newham. Today, there were plenty teenagers at the brand new shopping centre with its Debenhams, New Look, TK Maxx and Outfit and for every pensioner drinking in its "battered pubs" there were plenty more excercising in its new leisure centre, enjoying a film in the cinema or a meal at Nandos. Shame on the Economist for such shabby writing.
Quite. But the tone of the article appears paternalistic. Surely the Welsh nation should attempt to make the best of maximizing their priorities, as opposed to Westminster. Welsh priorities have been ill served prior to self government.
Agreeing or disagreeing with an article is easy....but do you ever question how we are in the situation we are in today
Wales was forcibly wedded to the London state...not through democracy
Wales was made to be dependent.....all the routes go to London....like many a good colony does in any empire
Trillions of pounds of Resources and Skilled people have been extracted and shipped out of Wales for hundreds of years
But where is the inherited wealth? I dont see it?
If only people knew how much hidden history there is to learn
The UK state - set up by a bunch of scots and english elites in the 18th century.....flies a flag that doesnt even represent Wales
How naive are the welsh....it breathtaking at times
You can talk about idealistic internationalism as a means to stop self ruling communities......but internationalism onlymeans something if you have something to bring to the World's table
You dont need to be a nationalist to want self rule and independence (obviously within a connected world)
Re "These days Scotland is evidently a different country" etc.
Despite the Economist's current obsession with independence movements, the great majority of Scots do not agree that we should be a separate country. Every poll has shown this. Speaking to real Scots instead of politicos and media types would tell you this too.
Please stop putting words into our mouths,
Who exactly has written this -it seems a very narrow and uninformed view and doesn't reflect at all the wider views in Wales.
may be a wider piece of robust research should precede an article that casts its net across the whole of a country
My goodness !
The attitude to secessionism in the UK is so damn civilised and logical. For a supposedly broke and declining country, the British can still teach civility to many.
Compare this to the question of secession in Spain.
Or worse, compare it to the outright government mandated terror and violence of Serbia, Russia, Turkey, India and China!
A majority of votes voted for the Assembly and an extension of its powers to include primary lawmaking ones. The opposition to the Assembly is overstated. Plaid Cymru may only get ~10% in parliamentary elections (an artifact of FPP system of voting) but in Assembly elections, they have been in government and were an official opposition (and oppositions often end up as governments). Votes for the Assembly came from all parties (even some Tories). And, the Welsh economy is dependent only because historically it has been an extraction economy. That needs to change, but not at the pace London sets for it.
No they dont.....why lie about statistics?
1. You are forgetting Hywel Dda and Owain Glyndwr.
2. The act of union was one sided. And cultural assimilation in the aggressive sense (welsh not and job descrimination) came in the industrial revolution. Perhaps you should look up Y Brad Yr Llyfrau Gleision for example.
3. The Marches were set up to contain the Welsh community.
4. The extraction economy that was predominant in Wales during the industrial revolution benefited one class, English and Irish immigrants, and not the indigenous people.
5. Opposition to the Assembly is a minority one (~20%). Therefore the balance are pro, or pro independence, or at worst indifferent.
6. A Wales that develops its own priorities (and in my view one favoring free market ideas) will do more for a better economy than the one of dependence bequeathed by London governments.
Your comments belie a lack of understanding of what the words "country" and "nation" mean, and a lack of knowledge of Welsh history. The term "nation" means a large group of people that share a national identity, who often speak the same language, share cultural traditions, and who are often associated with a particular territory. No right-thinking person would deny that a Welsh nation exists, and that it has existed historically. "Country" is a much more ill-defined term whose meaning changes depending on where you are, but in the context of the modern UK, Wales is certainly a country, despite not being a sovereign state. "Kingdom" has a much more specific meaning; a sovereign state that is lead by a King or Queen. It certainly isn't a synonym of "country" - no one would claim that the USA or France aren't countries.
You say that the geographical area of Wales has never been united under a single native ruler. That is demonstably false. The entire area of modern Wales (and more besides) was united by Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (not to be confused with the later Llywelyn ap Gruffydd) in the 11th century, originally King of Gwynedd and Powys. His story is a fascinating one, closely linked with the rise of Harold Godwineson in England, and his legacy is probably more far-reaching than any other Welsh ruler. If you ever feel like enlightening yourself on the subject, I heartily recommend "The Last King of Wales" by Michael and Sean Davies.
Ok. I wish this article had this level of precision in its analysis. A majority supports the Assembly. Nationalists are in the minority, but the level of opposition to the Assembly is overstated in this article. My point about PC being the Opposition after the first election is that Oppositions end up in Government. They shared power with Labor and were in government. If PC adapt and adopt more free market and innovative positions, they'll be in power eventually. My fundamental gripe here is that the article has a presumption that the Welsh cant get their own economic act together. In the past the Welsh suffered from an economy based on resource extraction. London substituted that for a dependence on government jobs. This does not serve Wales well, and Wales should sort it out. Other countries have become successful with less.
How many plc's have been created in Cardign or Wales for that matter
Part of the problem with Wales is that the most talented youngsters are directed towards the non wealth creating public sector; teachers, lawyers, civil servants etc because there is no meaningful private sector and there is an anti business culture based on a historic misplaced sense of injustice. If Wales wants independence this will need to be tackled and will take a generational shift in attitudes.
I'm Welsh and I think this article is spot on.
The Welsh-English union didn't happen a couple of hundred years ago... your statement flies in the face of recorded history. Wales as a country/nation has never existed within the borders it now claims, nor with the powers that you feel it is entitled too. In a true sense of the term, Wales has never existed as a country/Kingdom in the past hence why, at the forming of the Union of the Kingdoms it was already a part of a Kingdom, the English Kingdom and did not have representation on the Union flag. As for Welsh resources, if you look the 'pilliging' of Wales more often than not happened at the hands of the Welsh themselves, easy to blame others rather than look at history and accept truths. Devolution is notwidely supported, adn few care about the Assembly in Wales.
According to Vaughan Roderick: Welsh affairs editor
A fifth (22%) thought the assembly should be abolished.
Seven per cent thought Wales should be an independent country, rising to 12% if Scotland votes for independence.

Avoid the #1 relationship mistakeShape up for your wedding: 15-minute at-home workouts >
Do I invite my ex parents-in-law to my wedding? We became very close after my divorce, and they are loving grandparents to my 6-year-old. But their son, my ex, is a total jerk (they freely admit this and don't speak to him now), and I am afraid they may feel uncomfortable around my new family and old relatives that hate their son. What to do?
Especially if it will comfort your child to have his or her grandparents at the wedding, it's totally acceptable to invite your ex in-laws. The matter of whether they will be comfortable is up to them. You might want to talk to them about it before you send out the invites. Tell them you would really love to have them there for you and your child at the wedding and that your continued relationship with them means a lot to you, but you understand that they might feel awkward about it. Let them think about it and make their own decision. As far as your relatives who hate their son, it's hard to imagine they also hate your child's grandparents. They're not going to be outwardly nasty to these people at your wedding.

I haven't logged on in quite a while. Truth be told, I'm a busy lady who's way too busy taking care of everyone and everything around me to take the time to focus on myself. I think that's a problem most people have, but diabetics need to be a little selfish sometimes. Being a nurturing person by nature, I let myself get lost in the shuffle and I need to stop.
I think the problem is that I need someone to help hold me accountable to myself, someone who understands the struggles I deal…

white works as the primer
let it dry than apply the mascara
this literally acts as false lashes and comes off clean in tubes if using a makeup wipe!
if you use a cleanser from the start it will probably result in burning your eyes and leave lots of black under your eyes as usual mascara
Great for a night out! just like reuseable false lashes!
I LOVE THIS MASCARA! With every mascara for me it seemed it would smudge under my eyes. This mascara does not smudge at all. I've cried with this on it didn't smudge but it did start to come off but it wasn't anything crazy. This mascara comes of with just water. This mascara is great for contact wearers.
This is my HG mascara. I love that it's clump-free and really extends and separates my lashes. It does not really plump them up, so may not be best for a dramatic look. But it's my go-to everyday mascara. I put on the primer and then immediately follow with the mascara (one eye at a time). I don't experience any smudging throughout the day and the 'tubes' fall off so easily. Add to that the drug store price - and this is a great value.
As soon as I begin to notice any stickiness or clumpiness, it's time to replace. Really great product - I recommend often.

My HG Mascara. I have searched high and low for the perfect mascara, and I find myself coming back to this one. Realistically, there are other mascaras that do more, as far as volume, length, curl for your lashes. But this one is so practical. It's long lasting, There's no flaking, it's very easy to remove, and leaves no residue. This is such a perfect everyday mascara. I usually only use the black side, but when i want some extra length and volume, i use the white side too.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've just recently decided this is my HG mascara. I actually had a friend comment on how long my lashes were looking the second day I had this stuff on. I have never had the length of my lashes be a topic of conversation. I have tried tons of different drugstore mascaras and some foreign ones as well. The plastic wands which seem so popular nowadays in drugstore mascaras don't work for me at all. I hate them. So I'm very glad this has what I'd call a "normal" bristled wand at both ends. If anyone has tried Gokubuto mascara by the Japanese brand Canmake this product is quite similar to that, I think, but L'oreal's mascara is much more lengthening.
The application is pretty simple, first the white then the black, and mascara doesn't get all over the place when I poke myself in the eye during application or create raccoon eyes when I inevitably rub my eyes halfway through the day. At the end of the day the mascara tubes slide off quite easily while in the shower, but don't come off well at all in cold water. I would recommend gently rubbing the lashes off while your eyes are closed in a warm shower instead of trying to pull them off. Pulling these can pull out your own lashes and no one wants sparse lashes.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This *did* solve my raccoon eye problem, and for that I'm grateful. New problem: the only evidence I was wearing any mascara at all was the tube junk in my sink. On me, looked like nude lashes. (Used both sides, waited an appropriate time, etc; same again with repurchase.)
I was pretty skeptical that this mascara would actually extend my lashes but to my surprise it actually did. I agree with people who said that it doesn't work that well if you want to plump up your lashes. I sort of use this mascara as a special occasion product so for that reason I will add a layer of my Covergirl Lash Blast Volumn over the top and this gives me amazing lashes! To solve the problem of the primer drying too fast; I just apply the mascara immediately after applying the primer on one eye then I do the other and this works perfectly for me. The tubes remove very easily by just holding a warm washcloth to your eyes for 30 seconds and until you want to move them, they stay on great. I wish I could have given this product a 5 but because they could improve on the plumping of the mascara I could only give it a 4. If ever they can get a good plumper in there this mascara would likely replace my beloved CG Lash Blast Volumn as my HG!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I would say that so far in my quest for perfect mascara this is my fave. It makes my lashes look great, and is so easy to remove!
This mascara was pretty good. It definitely will not budge throughout the day, and when you go to take it off, you can just use water, and it won't give you raccoon eyes lol
I have really hard to curl lashes and they're kind of short so it didn't really do a whole lot for me. And it takes me a while to get my mascara on so you can actually see it (with the rolling technique). I'd buy it just as a backup mascara, or for when I want really really natural looking eyes.
More reviews by MidnightPurple
I have a lot of eyelashes naturally so I like length more then thickness. Thickening mascaras make me look way too overdone. This can get my eyelashes so long and pretty and it never gives a clumpy look. I like how it never smudges or flakes and it washes off so easily. Wearing this actually helps my lashes be fuller on their own I think cause it removes so gently, it washes off with just plain warm water, the tubes just slip right off your lashes in little clumps. Its actually quite fun to remove it. I just love it. ;)
