working with attributes (attmode command)
posts: 27
Registered: 2011-7-12
Message 1 of 6
in autocad i had the command "battman" which gave me the posibility of making any of them invisible (for example make the elevation invisible, that is not displayed). in zwcad i have the command attmode, which can make them all off, all on or make the invisible be invisible and the visible be visible.
this is where my problem starts: after extensive research, i can't tell how one can make an attribute visible or invisible so that the attmode command achieves its purpose. if there is such a command, how do i apply it to 100 blocks in one shot?
i would be really glad to get an answer to this. i intend to order a license of zwcad but have yet no idea about this. the problem is that i use it on a daily bases (this is the gps export format-block).
2. how do i change the color of one attribute and make it for 100 blocks? i tried it for one block and it works. how do i do it for more than 1 block?
thank you very much!!!

The New York Knicks needed this. No, not a matchup with the 14-24 Detroit Pistons (although that certainly doesn't hurt). Rather, the stumbling Knicks needed the kind of relief offered by an overseas venture. New York and Detroit will square off inside London's O2 Arena on Thursday night. The trans-Atlantic voyage afforded the Knicks an unusual midseason stretch of just one game in seven nights.

The new Walgreens in the District of Columbia's glitzy Gallery Place neighborhood is a wonderland.
It's got frozen yogurt, a juice bar, a manicure station, a decent selection of craft beers, a health care clinic, a yoga needs aisle, refrigerated displays of fresh prepared food, plus everything else you'd expect in a drugstore.
Like other convenience chains, Walgreens is becoming a general store for a world in which it's easy to buy routine items with a click of a mouse, providing as many amenities as possible – including groceries – to keep you walking through the doors.
Soon, it'll also be a bank. Wait, what?
Walgreen Co. this month announced that it was rolling out a prepaid debit card at all of its 8,541 locations by the end of the year. And it's not a run-of-the-mill rechargeable piece of plastic: This one will make online bill payments, cash checks and deposit paychecks.
Enrolling in the program costs $2.95. For members, ATM withdrawals will be free at machines inside the store, with a $2.95 fee for those outside.
For people without a bank account – and there were 10 million of them as of 2011 – dropping into a Walgreens could become the easiest way to manage their finances.
That lends a whole new meaning to the term convenience store. It also could shift the ways in which people on the economic margins plan for the future.
Banks have offered prepaid debit cards for years as a way to tap into the unbanked market.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, prepaid cards are the fastest-growing segment of the payment industry. About a third of U.S. households used some sort of prepaid card in 2009; in 2012, prepaid cards accounted for $77 billion in transactions.
The growth is also fueled by a rule that kicked in this year requiring recipients of some federal benefits to accept them in electronic form.
It's easy to understand the appeal: Prepaid cards function in most ways like a regular debit card, except you don't have to go through the hassle of opening a regular bank account and won't be burned by overdraft fees.
For a retailer, the upside is even greater. If you can provide a form of payment that has built-in rewards for shopping in your stores, you've created customers with a strong loyalty toward your products.
Wal-Mart recognized this a while ago and introduced its Bluebird card, to which Consumers Union gave top marks in a review of the industry this year.
Credit conundrum
There's just one problem. Like all debit cards, prepaid cards don't help build a credit history.
While you might be satisfied with using one indefinitely – and some of them have enough features that you might be – you may not be able to make some of the larger investments that can lead to advancement and financial stability, such as taking out a business loan or buying a house.
Banks make it relatively easy to use their prepaid products as a mechanism to sign up for a more robust suite of financial services, which turns marginal customers into more valuable clients.
A retail institution, however, might not be set up for that. Making loans and taking deposits amounts to nothing less than entering an entirely different, highly regulated industry. And unlike more high-margin businesses, convenience stores don't tend to have billions of dollars in liquidity.
Even if a Wal-Mart or a Walgreens allows the unbanked to elevate themselves from an all-cash existence, the trend might also create a permanently underbanked middle tier that can't make the jump to traditional credit products.
Lucrative margins
It is possible, however, that retailers could become full-fledged banks.
It has already happened in Britain, after years of conservative government and financial deregulation.
Big grocery chains such as Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer have partnered with consumer financial institutions for more than a decade, offering things from mortgages to insurance.
It has been lucrative. The chains realize 20 percent to 25 percent profit margins on their financial products, compared with 5 percent for things such as cheese and toothpaste, according to Bryan Roberts, insights director of Kantar Retail.
I think a lot of retailers in the U.S. will be looking enviously at what the British supermarkets have achieved, Roberts said.
It's a cradle-to-grave strategy of trying to provide everything that you possibly can.
Banks might be getting nervous. One supermarket, Tesco, recently took full control of its financial services from the Royal Bank of Scotland, proving that a grocery store can do banking on its own.
Pros and cons
There's one more question that might be troubling people about corporations controlling large swaths of the consumer experience:
If retailers do succeed in becoming full-fledged banks, is it really a good idea to entrust your financial life to as monopolistic an institution as Wal-Mart, which can make it even less of a good deal to shop anywhere else – and has access to all your purchase data as well?
For consumer advocates, though, it's still better than the alternative.
Adam Rust, director of research for the North Carolina-based nonprofit group Reinvestment Partners, has been tracking the prepaid debit card industry for a few years and said the retailer-based products are doing a better job serving the unbanked than most large financial institutions – not to mention risky emergency services such as payday lenders.
I like that it's Wal-Mart or Walgreens, CVS, more than a payday lender or a check-cashing store, Rust said.
Besides, he said, there's no better route to ubiquity for financial services than the local convenience store.

Things just keep getting worse for Manchester United this season as another huge bombshell fell on them, this time from Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri who had actually promised to disclose a huge news for Arsenal fans last week. He's dropped this story in his latest podcast saying Dutch striker Robin Van Persie wants out of the Old Trafford club and intends to reunite with his old club in summer.
Wenger met Van Persie agent,28 January.Both deliberately want deal to happen. Mufc said they won't stop it. Details https://t.co/kasRSt1WgO
— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) February 14, 2014
Tancredi Palmeri revealed that a meeting took place on January 28th between Arsene Wenger and Robin Van Persie's agent Kees Vos, on a possible return to the Emirates. The Dutch striker is thought to be a frustrated figure at Old Trafford since the retirement of Sir Alex Fergusson and has been annoyed with the new Manchester United boss David Moyes' training methods. Van Persie hence no longer intends to stay at the club and wants to return to the club that made him what he is today, Arsenal.
The striker and his agent have already asked the club on a possible departure and one would believe that, David Moyes who is on the mission of building a squad to fight for silverware wouldn't be for such a move from his best striker in form, however to everyone's surprise David Moyes has informed the striker's agent that, Manchester United nor him would become an obstacle if the striker intends to make such a move, of course only if the price is right. According to Tancredi such a move is very likely to go through in the summer transfer window, with a fee around £29milion seeming to be enough to convince the Old Trafford club on selling their 29 year old prized possession.
The Dutch star helped Manchester United win their 20th Premiere League title from Manchester City and also winning the Golden Boot award with 30 goals, felt cheated as Sir Alex retired after just one season from his signing. Arsene Wenger is obviously keen to bring his former star back to the Emirates, who are experiencing an amazing form this season with a possibility of winning the league. Wenger is believed to be in the market for a world class striker as the club's lacks experience upfront and the arrival of Van Persie could just do the trick for the Londoners in their quest to become a strong top side once again, to challenge for silverware more consistently than their recent past.

The techie challenge to save the lives of soldiers
Wednesday 20 August 2008
It's not a sight you see every day. A team of hi-tech robots – some trundling along on caterpillar tracks, others hovering in mid-air like flying saucers – hunting down enemy snipers, lookouts, criminal gangs and road-side bombs. And all in the middle of Wiltshire.
The robots, designed by teams of businesses, universities and schools, were taking part in The Grand Challenge, a Ministry of Defence (MoD) competition to find a device that will help soldiers spot potential enemies and hidden hazards during urban warfare. The designs included mini-helicopters, a hovering flying saucer, gliders and even a moon buggy. The oddest-looking invention came from team Tumbleweed. Its craft comprised a central hub mounted on six propellers.
All contained the latest surveillance, thermal imaging and laser technology designed to help locate threats before soldiers are put in harm's way. The army hopes the technology could help troops locate improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which have killed troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The event, which culminated yesterday, has taken place over five days at Copehill Down, on Salisbury Plain, the MoD's purpose-made village used to test soldiers in an urban environment. For the duration of the competition, it has been infested with jeeps, mock-explosives and gunmen.
Though 23 teams submitted entries for the competition, only seven made it through to the finals. They had to complete a "golden hour" in the hazard-laden village, in which they had to spot gangs, bombs and snipers while identifying innocent civilians.
In appalling weather, all the teams had problems with wet equipment. Before the announcement of the winner yesterday, the pits were rife with speculation about who had managed to spot the most threats. Team Thales, with their two mini-helicopters and two hefty, bright yellow ground vehicles, were quietly confident.
Others admitted they had struggled to navigate their vehicles through the wind and rain. The imaginative Team Swarm saw their flying device, powered by four rotors, crash out. The remarkable flying saucer-like craft designed by GFS Projects also fell before the final.
The eventual winner was Team Stellar, made up of six businesses and a group from Cranfield University. Their robot, which looked like Disney's Wall-E character and was called Eugene, won the unanimous judges' decision. Eugene trundles along on caterpillar tracks rather than flying over enemy territory but won because its high degree of automation meant it could operate independently on the battlefield.
"We are a big team, but we have gelled very well – and it's been a lot of fun," said Julia Richardson, the team leader, after picking up the trophy from the television presenter Philippa Forester.
But while the occasion was heaven for the techies, Major Matt Kelly, an urban warfare specialist at Copehill Down, said that the equipment on show would be a real lifesaver on the front line, and that it could be put into practice "in the very near future".
"We will never be able to remove boots on the ground totally, but technology like that on show here will mean that fewer soldiers will be in harm's way," he said. "Urban environments are where wars will be fought in the future and we need to make sure that we stay ahead of our enemies. We've come a long way from the use of binoculars, that's for sure."
Insurgents could soon have a flying saucer hovering at their door.
The MoD will now consider which parts of the technology on show it can put into operation on the front line, but all the winners got was a trophy and the satisfaction of knowing they had done their bit for Queen and country.
The designs
* The winning robot from Team Stellar looks like a grey mini-tank, moves on caterpillar tracks and uses onboard radar, optics and thermal imaging to hunt out targets. It is then able to relay the information in real time to a base camp.
* Team Thales used two mini-helicopters and two ground vehicles in its entry. The helicopters were sent out to send back images for mapping; the ground vehicles, which can move up stairs, have lasers to measure distance.
* Team Tumbleweed's entry, a flat disc shape ringed with six propellers, was one of the more bizarre designs. A pod in the centre of the frame was fitted with cameras and infra-red sensors to track threats.

U.S. says plans to name an ambassador to Somalia
Addis Ababa, 4 June 2014 (WIC) - US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Wendy Sherman, said on Tuesday (June 3) that there were hopeful signs of improvement in the security and economic conditions in Somalia.
As a result, and as "a reflection both of our deepening relationship with the country and of our faith that better times are ahead, the president will propose the first U.S. ambassador to Somalia in more than two decades" said Ms. Sherman.
She did not specify when the appointment would be made, but said it would be soon. At the moment, a US diplomat based in Nairobi represents US interests in Somalia and the US State Department said the new ambassador would not be based in Mogadishu for the time being.
Sherman said a tough struggle to secure the country and rebuild its government, economy and infrastructure still remained, but now was the best time for a quarter of a century to start to realize hopes for peace and prosperity.
Sherman said that "a small contingent of U.S. military personnel, including some special operations forces, have been present in parts of Somalia for several years."
Their aim was to work with Somali and AMISOM forces, providing information and advice on fighting Al-Shabaab.
This would continue as would military strikes, from time to time, "against a limited number of targets who have been determined to be part of al Qaeda," she said.

This year I wrote the player rankings and evaluations for the USA Today 2012 NFL Draft magazine. It's on newsstands now and available online here. Leading up to the draft, I'll be reprinting some of my quick reports here.
Lavonte David, Nebraska
Height: 6'0 1/2, Weight: 233 pounds
Strengths: David is an instinctive linebacker who can make plays all over the field. Has the tools to be the best coverage linebacker in this year's draft. David is a smooth athlete whose change of direction is great. Has added power to his frame since the season ended.
Weaknesses: In his two years at Nebraska, David had some issues taking down stronger running backs and tight ends in the open field. Often had to hold up the ball carrier and wait for help tackles. Struggles to get off blocks at times.
Combine quotable: (On getting stronger) I'm really working on getting stronger, more physical. That's a big part of my game that I'm going to try to work on, and I'm going to try to take it to the next level.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico - A new book by noted Old West writer Paxton P. Portmeister has revealed an interesting fact regarding one of the Wild West's most notorious outlaws William S. Bonney, alias Billy The Kid.
It seems that Billy The Kid hated his nickname with a vengeance and actually preferred to be known as Billy The Dude.
Portmeister points out that the newspaper writers of the time did not like the name Billy The Dude because it conjured up thoughts of English dandies who were also referred to as dudes.
There is only one known newspaper that did refer to Bonney as Billy The Dude and that was The Topeka Territory Tribune and the reason why the newspaper referred to Billy as Billy The Dude was because its publisher and editor Reginald F. Farnsworth, III, was originally from Liverpool, England.
Billy The Kid was shot by his friend Sheriff Pat Garrett on July 14, 1881, at The Okey Dokey Hokey Pokey Saloon in Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
According to Portmeister Billy's last words were "I swear Pat, I had no idea she was your cousin."

A recent survey conducted by Pew Global Attitudes (a project of a research center in Washington) in Pakistan has proven that the 64% of the people of Pakistan despise the USA and see it as one of the greatest threats to Pakistan. On the other hand only about 9% believe that the US can ever be Pakistan's allies. However 70% of the Pakistanis who were questioned are absolutely against the Taliban and seek their utter elimination. Another survey conducted for the international broadcaster Al Jazeera by Gallup Pakistan found that 59 percent of Pakistanis felt the greatest threat to the country was the United States rather than the Taliban.
As the report suggests Pakistanis despise the USA but do not side with the Taliban or Al Qaeda. Generally Pakistanis view them unfavourably but they see both of them as two sides of the same coin.
Unfortunately the Americans cannot come to understand why Pakistanis see them as their foremost enemy rather than the terrorists. On the other hand Pakistanis feel they have been constantly betrayed despite seeing the Americans as allies. They believe they have been used to accomplish USA's strategic goals and interests in the region and then abandoned.
A look at history
The Taliban were formed, supported and funded by the USA in the 1980's in order to drive away the Soviets from Afghanistan and offset the defeat they suffered to the Communists in the Vietnam War. According to newly opened CIA files USA wanted the Soviets to intervene in Afghanistan and aid was being transferred to Anti communist elements since July 1979 which was before the Soviets had officially invaded.
Pakistan was not always keen to join the war and did so upon USA's insistence. Sources even claim that Zia Ul Haq did not want to get involved in the war but many promises of opening up military and economic assistance were offered to President Zia by American diplomats for joining the war. This and the promise of a long lasting relationship with the USA convinced Pakistanis.
However by directly interfering in neighbouring Afghanistan on the behest of American urging Pakistan suffered over 120 incidents of terrorism which killed many citizens. One such bombing was the Islamabad depot bombings were blamed on Najibullah's government. USA suffered no losses as they had no troops on the ground and were too far away from the region.
Not surprisingly when the war was over Pakistan was not needed and the country was abandoned. In 1990 military and economic ties were cut off with Pakistan under the Presler Amendment which required proof that Pakistan did not possess a nuclear weapon.
Unfortunately the fact that America itself has one of the largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons in the World and is the only Nation to have used them is ignored when talking about the nuclear aspirations of other Nations.
Pakistan's Nuclear Tests
India conducted its first surprise nuclear test in 1974 known as the "Smiling Buddha." USA turned a blind eye to the first test but India's second test in 1998 which followed a similar test by Pakistan almost immediately received international condemnation. Initially sanctions were imposed on both India and Pakistan.
However after a few months the sanctions on India were removed while those on Pakistan remained. Certain military sanctions specially relating to nuclear technology continue till today however no such sanctions are being imposed on India. The differential treatment annoys Pakistanis as India has 10 times Pakistan's population and is much larger than Pakistan. The military as well is larger than Pakistan's own.
Furthermore Pakistanis can also not understand why USA signed a nuclear deal with India but is not willing to sign the exact same deal with Islamabad which has sent clear signals that it wants a peaceful nuclear deal with the USA for power generation purposes. Pakistan is facing crippling power shortages that are affecting the daily life of its citizens. In major cities people have to make do without 4-8 hours of electricity in a day.
The relationship today
Americans believe that the aid they are giving Pakistan in the War on Terror is more than enough and is a message to Pakistan to forget the past and move on. However what they don't seem to understand is that the losses of Pakistan in the WOT have crossed $35.5 Billion in damages to Pakistan (These figures are from January 2009 and the figure may now be more than 48 Billion). The aid does not compensate Pakistan for the losses given that $11 Billion is not even a quarter of this figure.
To aggravate things further much of the aid given to Pakistan has still not been delivered and much of it will be eaten up by the administrative costs of the USA.

Gaston Lachaise: Man/Woman
Features:Price: $12–15
Early 20th century sculptor Gaston Lachaise abandoned his Parisian home in order to pursue a married American woman, Isabel Dutaud Nagle, who was the object of his obsession, his muse, and eventually his wife. More than 50 bronze and marble figurative works (many inspired by Nagle) will be on display.
"Lachaise was that singular being of today and yesterday," American painter Marsden Hartley wrote in 1939, "the worshipper of beauty . . . beauty was his meat and bread, it was his breath and music, it was the image that traversed his dreams, and troubled his sleep, it was his vital, immortal energy."
Read our review of Man/Woman, as seen in contrast to the nude viewers posing next to the sculptures before the World Naked Bike Ride kicked off at the museum.

According to the National Weather Service a dangerous tornado touched down in Spalding County Monday night.
Spalding Residents were convinced that a tornado came through the county Monday night, but the National Weather Service had to come and look for the evidence.
Trees were torn everywhere in lots of different directions, some split in half. These are telltale signs of a tornado.
The national weather service is currently classifying the Spalding tornado as an EF1 tornado. We're told that winds came through Spalding at 90 to 100 miles an hour.

Blazers news: LaMarcus Aldridge denies trade request
- Updated: June 29, 2013
Portland Trail Blazers big man LaMarcus Aldridge is denied on Saturday reports from earlier in the week that he is seeking a trade this offseason if the team didn't do enoughin the 2013 NBA draft to bolster their young roster.
CSNNW.com updated a previous report that said as much, and now also report that Aldridge has refuted those rumors. On Saturday, the star out of Texas gave his side of the story.
"I haven't demanded a trade or cleared a way for my departure," Aldridge said when asked about the alleged demands. "It's not true. That's all I am saying right now."
The Blazers came away with two solid players in the first round in Allen Crabbe out of California and C.J. McCollum from Lehigh as well as Southern California native and Kansas standout Jeff Withey. With rookie Damian Lillard set to build on his stellar Rookie of the Year campaign, the Blazers should improve a great deal after narrowly missing the playoffs in 2013.
Aldridge has two years remaining on a $30 million contract, so it stands to reason that the team doesn't have to rush to make any moves that may potentially cost them valuable continuity.

DT: Appears to be a banner crop and DT is a huge need. WR: Only if there is some sort of Larry Fitzgerald/Andre Johnson/Calvin Johnson type freak. Is Dez Bryant that guy? Probably not. LT: Right now there only looks like one worth a top 10 pick and if Russell Okung is available I'd pull the trigger. DE: Should be a good group. CB: More and more you're just not seeing corners go in the top 10. We already have our #1 corner, so I don't think we need a top 10 pick to guard other teams' #2 receivers.
LOL, is this a bad joke? You've never seen Dez Bryant, ever. Not a freak? There aren't many guys with his fantastic hands, spectacular leaping ability, and route running. Rejus Benn is good too and probably even better.
Okung isn't even the best LT in the nation.; Bryan Bulaga is. Okung got embarrassed by Brian Orakpo in their only head to head match-up. Had it went the other way, I'm 100% sure he enters the draft. Bulaga is the most dominating LT in CF and probably right next to Hudson as overall linemen.
We need DL bad. Either DT or DE. Ndamkung Suh/Dunlap/McCoy/Hardy/Selvie
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
I know its a bit early but if some people are predicting we play as bad as some expect us to be, what do you think we should do with our pick (possible top 5 pick overall). Here are some of the positions I think we could use a "Franchise" player at...1. DT: We came across a one of a kind player in Warren Sapp and I don't think we could ever find another like him. But the fact still remains we need someone whose just like him to play in the trenches on the D and bring back the nasty line mentality we once had. Pairing up Dre Moore and Roy Miller with another stud DT could leave us with some serious tackle depth for years. 2. WR: Bryant will walk from Tampa after this season. He is already pissed about not getting a long term deal and I think hes going to walk for more money elsewhere. Plus hes getting up in age so we need some type of answer at the No.1 position. Moving Michael Clayton to the No.1 spot is a sign of a weak and pathetic group of WRs. We need to find a stud for Freeman to throw to. Winslow basically playing WR is a sign that we need to fix the problem.3. LT: I am not a Donald Penn believer. I think the dude should just shut up and play and earn that pay raise. The guy was an average LT who looked good against some of the best DEs in the game. He still gave up more sacks then anyone else on the line and he needs to do better then what he did the years before to prove it. Thats why I think we could have had Michael Oher who would have been a very nice addition to our Young but Good Offensive Line.4. DE: Gaines Adams better do his job this year or he will be a major bust. I really wanted Paul Kruger to be a Buc but theres no way he was slipping for us to get. The Bucs got a good prospect in Kyle Moore but thats a developing talent. We need a premier pass rusher to take on the LTs and get the QB. Why the Bucs are so adamant on playing Adams on the Right Side annoys the #%^!* out of me because he sucks on that side and is much better at taking on the RTs. We need another Simeon, without the attitude.5. CB: Talib and Mack are going to be stars for this team but we still could use another day 1 talent back here. The Safeties are stack with talent and I think another CB could really make our backfield a major force. Ronde is getting old and needs to retire. We need another big hitting shut down corner that can help the Bucs. Basically we need a Brian Kelly (who stays healthy).Those are my top 5 positions in the right order we need for next year. Yes its early now but I think at the end of the season these are the positions that will affect us the most in the games. Just thought I would share and see what you guys think.
So you're positive Bryant and Benn are Fitz/AJ/CJ level freaks and not Braylon Edwards, Mike Williams, Reggie Williams, Rashaun Woods, Charles Rogers, Donte Stallworth, Ashley Lelie level freaks? I want to be sure.
We'll see, but I know Vernon Gholston embarrassed Jake Long in 2007 and Long turned out ok so you can't read too much into one game. Bulaga may be good for a power team, but Okung is more suited for playing space.
Williams had inconsistent hands, only put up good numbers put up good measurables. Rogers was good before he broke his collarbone. Woods was drafted in the late first round, he doesn't even sniff nowhere near Dez. Dez smokes him in just about every category. I'd say Dez is closer to Edwards than anybody and coming out with much better hands. Edwards also had inconsistent hands coming out from Michigan. Benn and Bryant are very good. I don't see any thing in their games that I sense bust. I don't see any weaknesses in either of those guys.
I know that. But, Gholston embarrassed Long for two plays. Orakpo embarrassed Okung the whole game, there's the difference. Orakpo dominated Okung the whole game. VG had two good plays and didn't do nothing the whole game. And you don't have a clue about Bulaga. Iowa operates the Zone Blocking Scheme that we run under Jags. He's an underrated run blocker as well. So the notion of him not being suited for playing space is pretty illogical considering he's in the same system we run....
Again I'm not really commenting on any specific part of Bryant's game, just saying wide receivers, perhaps more than any other position, have a way of looking dominant in college and then completely disappearing once it is time for the NFL. Maybe Bryant will be good, but in my mind only 3 receivers under the age of 30 right now would be worth top 10 picks so I don't like those odds.
Well as of right now we don't even know exactly what kind of system Coach Jags is going to implement, as there is a pretty big difference between the largely passing offense with Robinson and Bryant at OSU and the largely running offense with Greene at Iowa, so maybe Bulaga would be fine, but if I had to put money down on who I would feel better about using a top 10 pick it on and who would be most comfortable in space it would be Okung.
I have no idea who the pick will be but I know where the pick will be. Top 10. Maybe even Top 5.
Needless to say, we aren't an elite LT away from winning a SB. If that position is causing the team to fail then yes take it. But, if Penn is playing solid every season the need becomes non-existant.

How can I watch with the contextual awareness of an historian the seemingly unstoppable advance of the progressives in their quest to re-build America in their own image without falling victim to the lure of apathy and the thrill of the games?
Did you ever have someone tell you that something was too political, or that they hate to discuss politics? If you mention the word politics, you will probably offend at least one person in any group. To shut off a conversation, just say "sorry, but I don't talk about politics".
Maybe people just don't know appreciate the importance of argument. The British Parliament is a wonderful example of how to argue. Sometimes fistfights even break out! You might call that "argument with style". Let's start with Webster's definition of the word itself. "Argument: a statement, reason, or fact for or against a point. An address or composition intended to convince or persuade". When you go back to the United States Founding Fathers, they were skilled users of argument.
Bill Whittle's Firewall today talks about "the struggle for stupidity" in which our culture has been engaged for decades. He discusses a 1914 sixth-grade reader recently repblished by scifi author Jerry Pournelle. The richness of one paragraph from that 1914 sixth-grade book highlights the vast gulf between the comprehension of a 1914 sixth-grader, and a 2014 college student.
Does the Declaration of Independence have any authority in 2014? Is the Declaration of Independence relevant at all to our laws and government today, and what does it mean in the shadow of the U.S. Constitution? Is it, as liberals tell us, meaningless?
"Anyone who desires to be ignorant and free, desires what never was and never will be." When Jefferson, the principle author of the American Declaration of Independence, wrote these words, he was expressing a truth that relatively few Americans appreciate today.
We have seen that there is truly no outrageous lie Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) won't tell, and he lied yet again in a White House statement from July 27th in "honor" of the end of Islam's Ramadan holiday.
Major Curtis Nupen (USAF ret) of Piedmont will offer a PowerPoint presentation about his experiences as an Electronic Warfare Officer in B-52s during the Vietnam War's Operation Linebacker II on Saturday, August 9, at Western Dakota Technical Institute in Rapid City, 9-11 am, sponsored by the Black Hills Veterans Writing Group.
Are you an American? If you are, can I ask you a question? In your way of thinking, what makes you an American? Is it where you were born? Is it because of where you presently live? Does a SSN make you an American? Or a passport or driver's License?
The crisis on the border has just begun its planned devastation on our republic. It turns out there is an obscure Obama administration policy that's deliberately driving this flood of illegal unaccompanied minors. "This policy [and executive order] issued in August of 2013… is called the 'Family Interest Directive,' and it essentially forbids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from deporting, arresting or even detaining any illegal immigrant who is the caretaker of a child.Next Page »
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964

Technological Catch-up and Scale Effect in OECD Countries: A Bipolarized Growth Convergence
AbstractOne of the main objectives of the growth-accounting is to study the countries' convergence. In this paper, we proposed a new approach, based on Stochastic Production Frontiers (SPF), to appraise the catch-up of OECD countries. The main advantage of our method is to decompose efficiency scores of each country into two components: scale efficiency and pure technical efficiency. By taking country heterogeneity into account, we find in our panel data estimation a technological catch-up in efficiency scores. This latter effect weakly offset the decreasing returns of the factors. Finally, policy implications are derived from our results.

Teachers can use the collection, which is categorized into design, how to (DIY), arts and crafts, robotics, and engineering subtopics, in conjunction with hands-on activities to further this initiative. Like the Maker Party, this collection is designed to encourage hands-on engagement in science, technology, engineering, math, and the arts.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
The mayor of York says state law enforcement officials are investigating the city's police chief.
York Mayor J. Edward Lee told WBTV the investigation involves York Police Chief Andy Robinson.
WBTV reached out to South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Coordinator Thom Berry about the investigation.
Berry says he can only confirm that SLED is "investigating allegations involving the York Police Department."
Berry couldn't confirm that the investigation specifically involved Chief Robinson. He was also unable to say when the investigation began.
Mayor Lee told WBTV that he was informed about the investigation by York City Manager Charles Helms. It's not clearly specifically what the allegations are.
Helms told WBTV he had "no comment at this time" when WBTV asked about the investigation.
WBTV has also reached out to Chief Robinson about the allegations, but have been unable to reach him for comment.
Chief Robinson was selected as the US Attorney's Office Strom Thurmond Excellence in Law Enforcement Award Recipient for SC Municipal Officer of the Year in 2013.
The award is the highest recognition for law enforcement officers in South Carolina.
