I actually used to smell the windows when I was like 3 or 4. They smelled weird. @HaasGotSkill want to try trading again?
I guess we could give it another shot, though I'm not holding out a lot of hope on the success of it. D:
Thinking stereotypes are stupid =/= racism. You're only perpetuating stereotypes which will invite further mockery by acting like this. You should set an example .
Everyone knows chicken has healing properties. That's why everything tastes like it; thousands upon thousands of companies and farmers have gone to great lengths to attempt to bestow their products with the same healing properties as chicken, but to no avail. They got the taste right, though, so at least that's a big first step.
@RKO-Cutter Some time ago, we talked about Mike and Sam vs. Neal and Mozzy in a spy off. I just got caught all the way up on Burn Notice and my question to you is, now that they have a solid team of four; who wins the covert mission off? Michael's team or the team from Leverage?
Why are ppl so obsessed wit bein 1st they post just to say they're 1st? Also, why do ppl chat back and fourth in threads about things that have nothing to do wit tha topic? No cellphone? Just wanna make it impossible for ppl to find a place where they feel they're opinion on said topic will not only be heard but paid attention to? Ppl repeatedly complain that companies dont present a product worthy of tha price, but how can they know what someone wants if they have to spend countless hours searchin through piles of thoughtless garbage (hows tha weather?) to find a shred of useful feedback? NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU JUST DID OR WHO LOST THEIR VIRGINITY... say something important and related to tha site you're linked to or SHUT THA F+U+C+K UP!!!!
Guys, I'm scared. An angry, possibly armed, stranger just burst into this thread, flew into a rage and told us all to shut up. Are we being robbed? Is this a bank heist? ...Are we even a bank? Why does my spell-checker tell me "heist" isn't a word? It's suggesting "hist", "theist", "hoist", "deist" and "chemist" instead...
Forget Kog, I know of a safehaven we can go to... I just need to post it once this one goes up in flames...

This update to the 2000 edition contains 60 revised entries reflecting new empirical data and identifies an additional 135 congenital disorders, explaining their cause, symptoms, treatments, and projected outlook. Alphabetically organized, the entries range several paragraphs to several pages. Wynbrandt (Excruciating History of Dentistry) and Ludman (pediatrics, Dalhouise Univ., Nova Scotia) make the text and its biologically complex issues readily comprehensible to teens. The book not only complements but now also supersedes The Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders (2001). Highly recommended.

If you're of the opinon that it would be impossible for BMW to build a modern-day E30, and foolish to wish for it, please, stop reading now. Yes. This is another one of those posts.
I'll keep it short. Let's revisit the BMW 1999 Art Car, the V12 LMR from carrying Jenny Holzer's message "PROTECT ME FROM WHAT I WANT". But let's look at it in the context of BMW's wants and desires, and how they've changed in the past 15 years.
Here are a few additional truisms that, with the benefit of hindsight, we should have been watching out for:
Protect me from a 4,150-pound M3.
Protect me from overwrought designs that follow trends instead of make them.
Protect me from character lines and creases that say nothing.
Protect me from 'sDrive' model designations.
Protect me from the X5, X6, X3, X1 and X4.
Protect me from completely unnecessary front-wheel drive BMWs.
If only BMW had listened to itself in 1999!
But hey, there's hope. The recent one-off BMW Pininfarinia Gran Lusso is the best-looking car with a BMW roundel in a decade. Sure, there's still a lot of surfacing, but it's crisp and understated in a way that few modern cars are. And even fewer modern BMWs. It looks so 'right' that I can almost ignore that it's 37 feet long.

These previously-unpublished images are scans from the 2009 Monterey Historics which featured Porsche. In addition to the digital and Holga pictures I took at the time, I shot a few rolls with my Olympus Trip 35, which I finally got around to scanning.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. What would I rather have than a well-optioned 335i coupe? It's a simple question, really. But when you're an enthusiast trying to scratch an itch that says "why am I not satisfied?" it can be difficult.
Last weekend, out of the blue, I got an invite to join friends Dave, Brad and Jason at one of my favorite race tracks in Texas, Harris Hill Road. The chance hasn't come up too often, so I've only driven one weekend there in the past. The track has a flow and rhythm unlike any other track I've been on. There's hills, long, parabolic bends and plenty of technical complexity. I love it. There are also some bumps that people complain about, though they don't really faze me as my car rides on stock suspension. Continue reading…
My father owned this 1995 BMW 530i for more than 16 years before selling it in December, 2011.
The 530i had a very unique 3.0L V8, mated to a very slow-witted 4-speed auto. It also had incredible steering, comfortable ride, and seemed to shrink around you. This was the first car I ever drove (I think I was 14), and I remember spending way too long with a tiny brush trying to clean the the deep mesh spokes of the 15″ wheels. Continue reading…

5 One of the best gadgets I've ever ownedBarcode17 | 11/04/2011 | See all Barcode17's reviews (1)I bought this as I was looking for a solution to replace playing media through my Xbox (Having to transcode was becoming a chore) and after a little research settled on this.Quite simply it is amazing. It plays pretty much everything you would want it to (1080p MKV, DTS sound, mp4, Avi, ISO dvd images).Its simple to set up and you'll be watching media from attached storage in minutes.Connecting the device to the internet and your network increases the functionality immediately with the ability to watch YouTube, and to stream files from PC's on your network.Western Digital seem to be providing a lot of support for the device with a number of official firmware updates being released in the time I've owned bringing added functionality (Facebook, mediafly, deezer, DVD menus in ISO images) and bug fixes (Not that I ever experienced any).There is also a large group of individuals who have unlocked the maximum potential out of this little box and released their own custom firmware, which is as easy to install, and with that comes EVEN MORE functionality: YouTube HD, Apple Trailers HD, BBC radio podcasts, weather updates and customisable displays (google Moviesheets).There are many forums providing support and advice in how to improve your box and although many are over my head, everyone is in the main helpful and i've been able to update my device significantly.In short, buy this box, today!
5 Incredibleskapunkmetalskater | 09/10/2011 | See all skapunkmetalskater's reviews (3)Without a doubt an ultimate solution to anyone looking to set up their own home entertainment system to play files from a hard drive. Plays all the formats without a problem including .mkv files.Supports multiple audio channels and sub-titles and plays in 1080p
5 Amazing product !!!!!kennybhoy888 | 03/02/2010 | See all kennybhoy888's reviews (2)I must say this is an amazing product. Handles all HD files with ease, even better than my PC infact. The chip set in this player is the same used in other more expensive players at 3 X the price , so it's a bargain especially from play being under a hundred pounds.

Sea Pong
Great for day to day...
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Spent quite alot of days on the hill (~25) last year, with crap conditions, and these kept my hands warm and dry each time. Thanks to the GoreTEX inserts. Zipper closure is actually better than you would think. Velcro will get covered with snow, but the zipper will hold out through slush and pow. I picked these because they had the under cuff style, super sleek if you have wrist gaiters or a jacket thumb loop. Although, these started to get holes on the fingertips by around day 15. Nothing super glue can't fix, but definitely wore out quicker than I'd like. Lasted though the washer/dryer numerous times. Get em if theyre on-sale, and size up a little, they tend to run a little small. Also, if you have the issue of the lining coming out when you pull your hand out, they eventually fix themselves, at least for me it did? Dakine might've revised their 2012-13 line. But I went for the Dakine Titan Short instead, we'll see how that works out this year.

Diamond Foods Choked on Pringles
Updated to include added information on Procter & Gamble's Pringles sale starting on page two.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Diamond Foods (DMND - Get Report) "transformational" plan to buy Procter & Gamble's (PG - Get Report) Pringles business may turn out to be the deal that transformed the company into a financial mess.
Diamond Foods may have pushed too hard on its finances to cut the $2.35 billion acquisition - paid in stock and the assumption of debt in April of last year -- in a deal that may not even close as a result of accounting issues. While Pringles would more than double Diamond Foods sales, it also doubled the company's liabilities and may have put the company in a tight position with its lenders.
Diamond Foods may have choked on Pringles |
After Wednesday audit committee findings revealed two years of accounting misstatements that prompted the replacement of top executives, Diamond Foods is poised to breach covenants on loans needed to finance the deal, putting the company's fate in the hands of its bank creditors, instead of shareholders.
"The company as you knew it is not in control of its own destiny anymore," says Louis Meyer a special situations analyst with brokerage Oscar Gruss & Sons. Instead, Diamond Foods' lenders led by Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) and a syndicate of six other banks including JPMorgan (JPM), Barclays (BCS), KeyBank (KEY) and Suntrust Bank (STI) now are a key determinant of the company's fate, as a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and a reported Department of Justice inquiry into the company's supplier payments continue. Meanwhile, shareholders reeling from a near 37% Thursday stock drop, may hold little sway. Audit committee findings that the company didn't properly account for Emerald Nuts walnuts supplier payments may force the company to recognize an additional $40 million in 2011 expense, pushing down earnings to a point where leverage covenants on loans are breached. According to those loans, a covenant breach can trigger a default, making Diamond Foods' fate contingent on negotiations with its bankers, as is often the case with stressed debtors. Meanwhile, shareholders may have little say in what the company does as it tries to survive accountancy issues and sudden management change. Currently, Wellington Management, Fidelity Management and TIAA Cref are the company's biggest shareholders with 10%-plus stakes, as of the most recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings compiled by Bloomberg. Del Mar Asset Management and BAMCO, both were the large sellers of the company stock recently, according to the SEC filings. While Meyer says that it's unlikely the lenders would want to put Diamond Foods into bankruptcy, they will "extract higher compensation for the increased risk that is now associated with lending to this company." Those lenders are also going to look at how to maximize the value of Diamond Foods, whether that means selling assets or continuing the business with a revamped management and operating model. In a November note, Meyer valued Diamond Foods at $21 a share if accounting issues that surfaced last fall were confirmed and shareholder suits moved forward. In December, Bank of America chose not to trigger a covenant breach after Diamond Foods delayed its earnings statements, subject to a filing by March 2012. Negotiations between Diamond Foods and its lenders have begun in relation to Wednesdays findings, according to a source familiar with the situation. On top of accounting issues, Diamond Foods announced on Wednesday that Chief Executive Michael Mendes and Chief Financial Officer Steven Neil were placed on administrative leave. Former Del Monte Foods CEO Rick Wolford was named acting president and CEO of Diamond Foods and Alix Partners Managing Director Michael Murphy was named acting financial chief. Turnaround specialist Alix Partners has experience leading companies through management change, improvement of financial controls and bankruptcy. Diamond Foods shares slid nearly 37% to $23.13 after the announcement.Consensus estimates of analysts polled by Bloomberg give Diamond Foods a price target of $38.50 a share. In a Thursday note, D.A. Davidson analyst Timothy Ramey said the sum of the company's parts is worth $44 a share.

From OpenWetWare
Project Name
Project Summary The Berkeley iGEM 2010 team is trying to apply synthetic biology to this problem. We are engineering bacteria that can deliver DNA into the choano. Choanos are predatory, which makes our job a bit simpler. Once our bacteria is engulfed by the choano, it will be programmed to burst using a self-lysis device. Then, proteins we have placed inside the bacteria will go into action. First, we have designed a vacuole-buster device that will burst the small food membrane inside the choano that held the bacteria, spewing the contents into the cytoplasm of the cell. In the cytoplasm, a transposon/transposase device tagged with a nuclear localization device will move to the nucleus. In the nuclous, the transposase will splice the transposon into the choanoflagellate DNA. |

I looked at the USOC financial report for the year ending 12/31/11, the latest I found. Fundraising amounted to $41,292,000. This was reduced by $4,804,000 for "Direct Donor Benefits", whatever that may be. So the net contributions were $36,488,000. The Fundraising Expense was listed as $19,191,000. This is 46.4% of the Fundraising number, or 52.5% of the Fundraising number less direct donor benefits. Even if you assume none of the $22,386,000 listed for Sales, Marketing and General Administrative actually went to fundraising in some way, seeing about half of each contributed dollar go to funraising seems excessive. There must be a better way to support the athletes instead of what seems to be fundraising for the fundraisers.

We are so proud to have the US Olympic Committee as a key player in our community in Colorado Springs. The USOC brings a positive presence to our city. It is quite inspiring to tour the Olympic training center here in town and see the nation's beloved athletes working together towards fulfilling their dreams and somehow bringing us all along for the ride. It seems unbelievable that this organization and the athletes are not funded by government and knowing that fact makes the organization that much more honorable.

As a seasoned fundraising professional I have direct knowledge of the United States Olympic Committee and how hard this organization works to raise funds to help athletes and parathletes fulfill their dreams. The USOC receives absolutely NO government funding and yet, year in and year out, this organization continues to help make each and every American proud during the Olympic Games. Go to their website (http://www.teamusa.org) and check out some of the Athlete stories. You will be amazed.

We've been regular and repeated donors to the USOC for many years but have become quite disappointed in this organization and it's decision making. We want our athletes to look good, but spending $1600/$1800 per opening/closing ceremony clothing shows an extravagant lack of a sense of responsibility:also, not even made in the US! Wasteful and not helpful to our country when they are in a position to have a positive effect.

Mr. Shearer, I suggest, rather than lashing out at old information, you take the time to review the organization's latest data as well as the recent news stories about the reduction in salaries improved financial situations.
I think it also important to remember that this organization is responsible for helping to prep, train and organize a multitude of athletes representing their individual sports and America. That type of work can not be done in a vacuum and requires dedicated professionals who certainly can not be asked to provide their services for free.

Rivenbark's sonSubmitted by New to town (not verified) on Fri, 07/22/2011 - 9:08pm.
Just a comment, do reporters here in ILM, not know how to report stories? They don't tell how the accident happened, who hit who? Are the police still investigating? Are there proper signs for bikers? Details of most of these reports are inconclusive and leaves the reader wondering, do the reporters or "journalists" have a college degree??? And if they do, they should ask for their money back, because this is at best elementary news work! Why is this level of work acceptable here, is it because Wilmington is a small town? »

Foreword by Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn
The theme of this book is that the Catechism of the Catholic Church, perhaps the most important work on catechesis since the Apostolic Age, offers not only a new, definitive account for our times of the full teaching of the Catholic faith, but also that it is a superbly crafted work from which to learn and to teach the faith. This book reveals the pedagogy embedded in the Catechism, showing every teacher, parent, catechist or student how to discover the key principles that enable one to learn from, and teach from, the Catechism.
The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church speaks of the "wisdom of the presentation" of the Catechism and of "the depth of its spirituality". These points have rarely been explained in any sustained way and have never before been systematically treated. The unique point about this book is that it focuses on these points, rather than a simple explanation of the content of the Catechism. This book offers a pedagogical approach to the Catechism for handing on the faith of the Catholic Church in any setting, whether home, school and parish. It offers perennially valid teaching points drawn from a perennial text, and an explanation of the 'pedagogy of God' which underpins all authentic teaching methods in the Church. In this way, the book offers a twelve step 'path to recovery' out of unhealthy catechetical addictions and obsessions which have bedeviled the catechetical world.
It is unique in its origin, emerging from a 'catechetical friendship', encouraged by Cardinal Schönborn, between three institutions working in an authentic Catholic catechetical tradition. The three authors display a deep trust and love for the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church – words that hold a rich heritage and can be pondered lovingly and searchingly, since they are for our good, for everyone's good.

NEWPORT A Lake Champlain cruise boat is getting a new home on another Vermont lake.
The boat Northern Star was taken out of the water Monday in Burlington and moved by truck to Newport on Tuesday where it is waiting to move into its new home, Lake Memphremagog.
Owner and Capt. Chris Johansen formerly captained the Newport Princess, a small tour boat on Lake Memphremagog.
The Caledonian Record reported that Johansen worked for other tour lines on Lake Champlain before deciding to bring a large charter cruise boat to Newport.
The vessel was partially disassembled before being moved early Tuesday. Johansen got a special permit from the state to move the 88,000-pound main deck and hull.
The boats top decks were removed during shipping. It will be reassembled once its back in the water.MORE IN Vermont NewsISLAND POND Two large maple syrup producers are setting up operations in the Northeast Kingdom...

Gluten-Free Atkins? It's Possible!
You don't have to go far to see the term "gluten-free" on store shelves or restaurant menus. Gluten is the protein in wheat that gives dough its elasticity, and many people now claim to feel healthier and better (and even lose weight) when they don't eat gluten or cut back on it. For those with celiac disease (about 1% of the population), eating foods containing gluten can cause everything from irritability and depression to abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea.
About 6% of the population has been diagnosed with gluten intolerance, and, most likely due to a higher understanding of and bigger emphasis on food allergies, digestive health and genetic modification of grains, a quarter of Americans are cutting down on gluten or going gluten-free. When you avoid or cut back on gluten, you are naturally eliminating a highly processed grain, which explains why Atkins can be a gluten-free-friendly weight-loss program.

need 1976 Yamaha DT 250C info
I am new to this site so if I make any mistakes please let me know Im trying to get used to it.
I have a 1976 Yamaha DT 250C enduro and I am trying to get any information about this bike that I can find out. I was thinking about bypassing the oil injection and just premix it myself. I just cant rely on the injection system. I live in a very rural area and don't want to get stuck out in the middle of the mountains What do i need to do to get my bike to run right? Can I change the jets in the carb to next size up? or should i leave them stock. what would I have to gain or lose from up sizing my carb jets? I onlyt paid 50 buck for my bike and it runs great now it is pretty quick considering. it was sitting for almost 10 years before i got it. it is hard starting, how can i get it to start easier? :evil |
If you are going to premix you'll have to go to larger jets since the oil going through the jets will effectively make your mixture leaner. How much larger I couldn't say. Make sure you block off where the oil enters the carb/intake so you don't have an air leak. I have an oil injected Yamaha 2-stroke and I like the injection. I can just ride up to a gas station and fill up, no mixing. In my opinion you should just leave it alone.
Pre-mix is a good idea.........as long you remember to add oil to fuel there is nothing to go wrong. If you use 50:1 mix with a proper pre-mix only fully synthetic oil, then I doubt very much you will need to change jets as factory set up is generally always going to be on the rich side as standard anyway.
As to bad starting, carefully clean out the carb, check the reed petals are sealing properly, and fit a new non resistor waterproof plug cap, and an NGK irridium spark plug. If there is any sign of rust/crap in the carb, then you might have a corroded tank, and it would be good idea to clean tank out as best you can, and fit a clear inline fuel filter. |
I have a 1974 DT250A and have removed the oil injection. I premix 32:1 using good quality two stroke oil. The carb jetting is bone stock, same as original Yamaha spec. Spark plug is always a perfect light/ medium brown color and the bike runs great. I made a small plate to seal the hole where the oil pump mounted and removed and sealed the oil line connection. I removed the oil pump control cable from the cable splitter and sealed the opening in the side cover. This worked fine, but I was concerned about the splitter possibly causing the throttle to stick so I had MotionPro make a custom one piece cable.
I've had a 73 AT3, a 76 DT250, and a 81 DT175 and never had a problem with the oil injection. the DT250 was my high school bike and my buddy had one just like it. We ran those bikes all over the place never had a problem. There was s site glass on the oil tank so it was easy to keep an eye on the level. Fill up at any gas station. I live in a rural area and I would much rather have the oil injection. If my injection tank has oil I can barrow some gas from a farmer if I run out in the middle of no where. If you are running pre-mix you either have to bring your own gas or bring oil with you.
As far as getting it running, I'd freshen up the top in with at least new rings and a hone. Over sized pistons are fairly economical for 2 strokes. Check the carb intake mount for cracks, make sure there's no air leaks. |
The oil injection systems in yamahas have worked for years, they are nearly flawless, I will never remove an oil injection system unless I am going to race a bike at a track..........................................
When set properly the oil injection is not an issue. |
Running oil injection on any bike not intended purely for road use isnt that great an idea, as it means to more to do wrong, and 2T motors never seem to run as cleanly on injection, when compared to pre-mix.
Removing the injection was always the first thing to do on the old TY Yams, and as well as making the bikes more reliable and better running, the throttle action becomes much lighter. |
I had probably as many as 30 Yamaha Enduros back in the ld days. I not only never had a problem with an Autolube, I never knew ANYONE who did. I did remove one and had a bitch of a time getting the bike to run right with different mix ratios when I used premix. I also suggest if it is to remain street legal, NEVER remove the Autolube
I agree 100%.. if the OP is not sure he should go ask over at Yamahaenduro.com . just about everybody over there that is not racing their bike will tell you keep the Autolube and make sure it is adjusted properly. I have been on some pretty crazy rides with those guys and know a few that rack up major miles on their vintage yamaha's and they all keep the autolube. good luck convincing Twin-Shocker from what I have seen on ADV Rider he knows everything dont ya know :lol3 |
I was a service manager at a Yamaha shop for ten years covering that model. I can say with some confidence that I've never experienced a failure from a Yamalube system. They are bullet proof! Simply keep quality 2stroke oil in the tank. Bleed the system (simple) and forget it! Mixing will let you down sooner or latter. Mixing does not take into consideration the raising and lowering of the RPM's.
Yamalube does! This is a very simple decision, leave it alone! |
Premix will limit your travel to 1/2 a tank from home, unless you carry extra oil and a ratio-rite cup. I have a bike that's pre-mix and carry the right amount of oil in a container for exactly two gallons of gas. I would leave it alone.
Some of the main reason serious comp 2T's all use pre-mix, is down to the fact bikes run more cleanly, mix ratio's can be adjusted to suit race conditions perfectly, and there are no extra mechanical parts to go wrong and add extra weight. |
Compare that to an MX bike that is being ran at mostly the higher RPM's. It's not that big of a deal to re-do a top in between a race or two. You have your premix already mixed up in the spare gas cans back at your pit, tuck, van what ever. I never rode trials, but I can see why yo may want to get rid of it on the TY's. You're probably never too far from your can of premix. You're typically ridding trails or at a track. I'm not saying you can't make a non-injection into a play bike, I would love to plate my son's KDX. But if I did it would be so much nicer to have oil injection on it. If you need to disable the auto lube you probably started with the wrong bike for your intended purpose. |

September 20, 2004 DURHAM Ted Roof is a no-nonsense guy. In his first full season as the head coach of a Duke team that has been on the bottom for so long that it has forgotten how to win, he said after the first ACC game, a predictable 41-17 loss at Virginia Tech, "We got beat by a better football team."
That wasn't exactly revealing. Obviously, it was something everybody knew going in. Even the betting line jumped from 25 to 27.5 points. But until you see it up close and personal, sometimes it is not apparent to everybody.
Roof has done a lot of things right since replacing the outclassed Carl Franks at midseason in 2003. He even won a couple of ACC games last fall, although that might be difficult to repeat this time around. But he's hired the best Duke staff since at least the gone-forever Steve Spurrier days, and he's in the process of recruiting fairly well.
It's just that there is so far to go, as the Hokies proved conclusively in their first-ever ACC contest, replete with those 50,000 wooden nickels they gave away before the game in Blacksburg.
Thus far in three losses, Duke has played hard if not well. It was talented enough to play even against 3-0 Navy if it had executed better offensively. The Devils squandered a good start and didn't do that. Mishaps in the kicking game were serious, and against Connecticut, another team that couldn't out-talent Roof's guys, a missed field goal in the last six seconds proved fatal.
Against Virginia Tech, there was no chance despite a fast start built around trick plays, a fake punt that produced a first down and then an exciting Deon Adams reverse that gave the Blue Devils a 7-0 lead. Their other touchdown was scored after it was 41-10.
What Duke saw in Blacksburg was what a program built over more than a decade can become. A sell-out audience of 65,000. Constantly refurbished facilities. A big-time quarterback (whose name is not Vick). And a recruiting style that never, ever will be possible in Durham. At least 15 Hokies attended either prep school or junior college. Even when they are young, and almost all of the Tech receivers are freshmen, they are a year older than Duke's rookies ever will be.
That simply suggests just how tough the situation is for Roof. But the coach doesn't believe it is impossible, merely difficult. It also probably will take quite a while.
Tech's Bryan Randall showed Duke what a big-time quarterback can accomplish, much as Philip Rivers did for N.C. State. Roof continually has said that's his No. 1 goal in recruiting this year, to recruit somebody like that. Maybe 6-4 Gene Delle Donne from Delaware or 6-3 Zack Asack from Massachusetts will become that person, say by 2007. Yes, 2007. In all likelihood, that's the sad reality.
The irony is that one of the top prep quarterbacks in the nation, Greg Paulus, is coming to Duke next year but only to play basketball.
Roof's needs are everywhere. Let's start with health. Duke began the game against Tech with six starters out with injury, and quarterback Mike Schneider joined the red-cross unit early in the second quarter with a concussion.
Some were players at the most critical positions. Cedric Dargan ran for more than 100 yards in the first half against Navy, then got dinged up. He didn't play in the next two games. Duke instead used sophomore Aaron Fryer and true freshmen Justin Boyle and Tim Ball, with very little success. The two top receivers among a very inexperienced group, Senterrio Landrum and Deonto McCormick, a converted defensive back, also missed the Tech game.
The program's best (by far) defensive lineman, Phillip Alexander, was lost for the season against UConn with a broken leg, which happened as the Blue Devils were returning an interception for a touchdown. Junior college transfer Brian Sallee moved into a starting spot on the line, then got hurt and didn't play against Tech. The most experienced cornerback, Kenny Stanford, was hurt against Navy and hasn't played since.
When the Blue Devils scored their second touchdown in the fourth quarter, they had five freshmen on the field. They may not be ready to play, but they're trying nonetheless.
Franks was fired, for all intents and purposes, when his team quit on him during an embarrassing 42-0 first half against Wake Forest. Roof's inheritance played hard and well in four of five games after that. They haven't shown any signs of a mental letdown yet.
But the truth is that this is a very young team. There are only 12 seniors. Alexander, who never redshirted, is all but certain to seek (and get) a medical redshirt from the NCAA for 2005. That would be a blessing to a program that needs any jump-start it can get.
Where Duke is now is at home for the first time this season, against Maryland, which is coming off an overtime loss at West Virginia. The stands are not likely to be full. The Terps normally don't travel well to Durham, and Roof and company understandably haven't convinced the local doubters yet.
The Blue Devils will be in a division in the future that will include Miami, Virginia and Virginia Tech, meaning they'll have to play them every season. It won't be easy; maybe it's not possible. Nobody will know that for another few seasons. In 2004, every Duke win will be a blessing. Other than against The Citadel, a Division I-AA foe, the Devils will be underdogs every time out.
Basketball: Love Returns To Mix
As for the sport that makes Duke fans constantly optimistic, the good news involved a walk-on. Not just any walk-on: Reggie Love. After being cut by the NFL's Green Bay Packers, Love returned to Duke to pursue a second undergraduate degree and to join the basketball team.
It's not that he's a great player, but he's certainly more than a typical walk-on. Love actually performed well for the Blue Devils on their 2001 NCAA championship team. He played a key role after starting center Carlos Boozer broke his foot in the penultimate game of the regular season.
Love was an excellent high school player in Charlotte. He's just 6-4, but he's now a buffed 240 pounds, and he can play inside, as he did in 2001. That's a relief for a team that has only two scholarship big men, juniors Shelden Williams and Shavlik Randolph.
The bonus is that Love will be with the team at the start of practice, rather than playing catch-up in December after football. (Obviously, he has exhausted his college eligibility on the gridiron.) Love should be able to provide some productive minutes off the bench for a team that has just eight recruited players. At the very least, he'll make practice far more competitive than it would have been without him.

Might be the best reason to reform campaign financing, and have Johnny McCain take a long look at who is funding those who fun his campaign. I wish the Senator would co sponsor a bill that would reform campaign financing....I wish upon a star. How did McCain NOT know these peeps were funded by foreign powers? How did he NOT know this might come up? Is he really that dumb, or just doesn't know? enjoy your future explanantion and debate on this subject, John. I'd suggest wearing a GIGANTIC flag pin. One that covers your *****. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/18/AR2008051802212.html?hpid=topnews Tom Loeffler, the national finance co-chairman for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, resigned yesterday because of his lobbying ties, a campaign adviser said. He is the fifth person to sever ties with the campaign amid a growing concern over whether lobbyists have too great an influence over the Republican nominee. Last week, campaign manager Rick Davis issued a new policy that requires all campaign personnel to either resign or sever ties with lobbying firms or outside political groups. McCain has built his reputation in Congress on fighting special interests and the lobbying culture, but he has been criticized for months about the number of lobbyists serving in key positions in his campaign. Until recently, his top political adviser, Charles R. Black Jr., was the head of a Washington lobbying firm. Black retired in March from BKSH & Associates, the firm he helped found, to stay with the campaign. Davis ran a lobbying firm for several years but has said he is on leave from it. Black, in particular, remains in the cross hairs of McCain's critics. Campaign Money Watch, a nonpartisan watchdog group in Washington, yesterday praised Loeffler's departure but renewed its call for Black's departure. The group has launched a Web site, http://www.firethelobbyists.com, to urge McCain to rid his campaign of their influence. Loeffler's lobbying for Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments was revealed over the weekend. McCain has steadfastly defended Black and Davis. "Charlie Black and Rick Davis are not in the lobbying business; they've been out of that business," he told reporters. "Charlie Black has been involved in every presidential campaign going back to President Reagan's first campaign. He has severed his connections with the lobbying group that he was with. Rick Davis has not been involved in any lobbying for years." McCain? You have some 'splaining to do.
Uh huh. And you wonder why conservatives don't like McC, or why we don't like McCain-Feingold...or why we don't like him because of it.
Nobody can win without those two groups, the only question is will they come out, Obama's only hope is that they stay home.
I hope no one takes this wrong, but I think the christcons will vote for him unless something better comes along, because they didn't vote in 06 and now they're more unhappy about the dem. congress. There are also Hillcrats and other democrats that will cross over to McC just to keep BHO out, whether it's because they don't like him, don't think he's 'sperienced enough or just plain don't like his name/complexion. This is the weirdest dynamic I remember seeing, honestly. I can't figure if all the kids and formerly apathetic voters who's legs are now tingling every time the Prince coughs will be enough to cancel out the Hillcrats and hillbillies.
I disagree with this. "Conservatives" will come out, the stakes are too high. The christcons might not, but given Hillcrat support, I think McC could win without them.
How are the stakes so high? In what way? I gotta laugh at you people who actually think there's a measureable difference between McCain and Obama. They are both high-spending, big Government, gonna-stay-in-Iraq, bullshyte artists! You can't see that? Only difference is Mack is a one term.
For a "conservative", at least the way it's being used here, there's a big difference. There's also House and Senate races to think of. I do think there are differences between McC and BHO, but I can't see where they're really enough to impact me much--as you say. The only saving hope is that McC's idol is Teddy Roosevelt...we could do worse than a modern incarnation of TR. But you're not wrong, overall.
There are so many variables this election. VP selections will be critical for both candidates, and could actually affect the opposition voting. At any rate, I don't care about someone who used to lobby being part of a campaign. I care more about the specifics of their lobbying. A lobbyist is a middle man, or a sales man type. They're a real estate broker persay. The word itself has taken on a totally negative meaning, which is stupid. Equal rights groups lobby. MADD lobbies. Environmental groups lobby. It's the specifics that are important. Of course, with a dumbified populace & voting block, that point is missed.

Osteophilic modular nanostructured multilayers containing hydroxyapatite nanoparticles complexed with a natural polymer chitosan create an osteoconductive surface for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Coupled with the sustained release of physiological amounts of osteoinductive bone morphogenetic protein over several days from degradable poly(β-amino ester) based multilayers, this single coating results in a synergistic accelerated and upregulated differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts laying down new bone tissue on orthopedic implants.

This article covers: What is a troll, History of Trollling and How Social Media can Fix Trolling (how can society fix trolling, actually). For individual responses to a troll/bullying situation, try 8 Ways to Deal with Negative Criticism Online.
It takes a Village to raise a Monster. What is it about our society that creates trolls? Is it our adversarial political system? Our attention seeking shock jocks? Our women's magazines that think it's fine to photoshop young celebrities in damaging positions? Our evening News as Entertainment TV shows that track a camera chasing somone down the street? The Village has to Fix the Monster – trolls – and use social media and social tools to do that.
What is Trolling?
For me, trolling is the act of breaking the social contract (political correctness or even just nicety) for the sake of a reaction. It's that simple. Someone criticising you is not trolling. Someone criticising you publicly, using terminology that is aimed at creating drama, rather get you to change your mind, and focuses on responses from the crowd is trolling. Systemic ongoing repeated trolling is bullying but sometimes a troll can make one-off comments just to see if they get a rise. Bullying can be a contributing factor in suicide and damages whole communities not just the bullied. Trolling takes us out of our comfort zone and forces us to think: why do I hate that so much?
Social Media Spotlights Trolls
Trolling and bullying has always existed but it's been hidden in each social network, away from prying eyes. The toxic boss that makes snippy comments when you come to work, the (hopefully soon ex-) boyfriend that trashes your fashion sense and opinions on current affairs with "jokes", the kids at school that call you lardarse or dumbarse. Social Media doesn't cause trolling it puts a spotlight on it. And some trolls (most!) revel in exposure and attention and drama. Step up to the microphone please, Mr/Ms Troll!
History of Trolling
Social media didn't create trolling, we've always had it. Trolls are the court jesters of today. In ancient times, court jesters would do or say something and the court would ooh and aah in shock, wait with baited breath to see what the King would do – laugh or "off with his head". Why were jesters put up with? Because they reflect back the community values with a twist. They made the Court think, and reflect. Comedians are trolls. So are shock jocks. So is the guy who calls you an idiot or worse and tells you exactly why.
In Renaissance times, the King was considered to be a 'God on Earth' and it was only his Court Jester (or Fool) appointed both to amuse him and remind him of his humanity, who was allowed to speak plainly. In King Lear, it is up to the Fool to remind the King of the consequences of his actions.
Queen Victoria used to tell her Jester off for not speaking harshly enough!
The Fool does not follow any ideology. He rejects all appearances, of law, justice, moral order. He sees brute force, cruelty and lust. He has no illusions and does not seek consolation in the existence of natural or supernatural order, which provides for the punishment of evil and the reward of good. Lear, insisting on his fictitious majesty, seems ridiculous to him. All the more ridiculous because he does not see how ridiculous he is. But the Fool does not desert his ridiculous, degraded king, and accompanies him on his way to madness. The Fool knows that the only true madness is to recognize this world as rational. (Shakespearian Fool)
I'm pretty sure it's in King Lear that the trolls (Jester and Kent) start to attack and call others "Whoresons". I'm also pretty sure that whoreson means the same thing today it did then, and can clearly be filed under "nasty troll"!.
Trolls are important to society. They remind us we can be wrong and in no uncertain terms. By not pulling punches they can break through social rituals that block us from other points of view. By causing conflict we are forced to look to our values, to our ethics, to the eternal struggle between "nice" and "truth".
But we don't want to live in a world over run by trolls. One Jester per court, per society, per social network please!
Social Media can Help Trolling
Society can pull together to fix the troll problem. How? Well in a variety of ways, but you might not like some of them:
Voice of Choice vs Trolls
Been abused at an abortion clinic lately? No? Probably you are in Australia then:
For too long, the abortion discussion has been dominated by angry, nasty protests fueled by individuals and organizations that thrive on sensationalism and extremism.
Now it is our turn."Voice of Choice" was established as a calm, measured response to anti-abortion activists who engage in misguided, raging protest tactics that are often ill-informed and only serve to victimize women, pro-choice professionals, law-abiding businesses and unaligned bystanders.
We use email, telephone and social media in peaceful, person-to-person counter-protests against groups that target abortion facilities, providers and patients, as well as their families and communities. We don't question anyone's right to express opinions and ideals; we challenge their bullying tactics and their contempt. (Voice of Choice)
Basically if you stand outside primary schools with signposts with photos of dead foetuses on them, expect a polite phone call thanking you for your support and prayers. From 5,000+ people.
Internet Vigilantism vs Trolls.
Wow there are SOOO many examples of the community taking issue with a troll. Consider the Cook's Source editor that disrespected a writer and the ensuing backlash. How about the troll on Wife Swap?
When he did talk to her, he managed to insult, among dozens of groups, fat people-the fat people who pay his wife money to make them not fat.
"Agenda, that's a big word for you," Fowler said as Gayla stumbled through a set of rules she sought to impose on his family. "The most boorish and abusive of husbands ever," concluded a blogger on Reality Roll Call.
The fallout: Internet message-board commenters went even crazier than usual, posting Fowler's home address, which in turn prompted him to threaten to sue the website where it had appeared. Someone launched stephenfowlersucks.com. On Friday, Fowler finally apologized publicly (on his wife's weight-loss blog) and resigned from the boards of two environmental nonprofits on which he served. And his wife apologized, too, stating that he needed "professional help." We want to know who's apologizing to the kids. (Gawker with videos)
If you want the "foam" of moral outrage you had better be sure you can handle it: Go onto YouTube and create a 4 minute video trolling victims of an earthquake. Ok, maybe don't.
Zhang Ya & Sichuan Earthquake
In 2008, a girl called Zhang Ya (张雅) from Liaoning province, Northeast China, posted a 4 minute video of herself complaining about the amount of attention the Sichuan earthquake victims were receiving on television. An intense response from Internet vigilantes resulted in the girl's personal details (even including her blood type) being made available online, as well as dozens of abusive video responses on Chinese websites and blogs. The girl was taken into police custody for three days as protection from vigilante death threats.
Director of Prosecution Community Consultation
If peaceful Voice of Choice or the more agressive Internet Vigilantism aren't your cup of tea, how about education and consultation?
As a result, the director of public prosecutions Keir Starmer confirmed today that he planned to hold consultation with Brit citizens on social media cases involving trolls who take to sites populated by celebrities and openly attack them with abusive messages. (The Register)
If New Zealand put their Police Act up on a wiki, why can't we have one for a Social Media Troll act?
Individual voices in a community count
Ok I admit this is real world trolling not online. But can we maybe crowdsource a support site for helping those that are victimised for being gay or whatever?
After having his car vandalized four times, Jordan Addison said it would cost $2,500 to fix the damage. And Addison says he believes he was targeted for being gay.
But the manager of a local auto shop stepped in and not only repaired Addison's car for free but also enlisted the help of several other auto specialists to give the car a substantial upgrade. Yahoo
What are other ways that society using social technologies could fix trolling? Is vigilantism constructive or could we put other solutions in place, that do more than shut a troll up? Do we really want Twitter handing over our details to the Australian Federal Police without a court order so they can show up on your doorstep and drag your 17 year old son away in handcuffs for saying shitty things on Twitter? Or can we as a community address issues around education, collaboration, support and peaceful resistance to effect change. Do we have the social will (or mature social technologies) to even start to work on this challenge?
Trolls are ousted from the community – in this case violently. And along the way they leave many discussions on our community values such as :
- what is free speech?
- what is a joke?
- what is appropriate political or shock jock discourse?
- what constitutes fair play?
Worthwhile discussions created in an atmosphere of high drama and dissent. Welcome to a troll's world.
13 Responses to "How Social Media can Fix the Troll and Bullying problem"
I wouldn't equate trolls with comedians and court jesters. Trolls belong in the same box as the poison pen letter writers of old.
Trolls are not entertaining or thought provoking. Their only motive is to offend and abuse.-
I disagree. My ex-boyfriend was a serial troll, yet constantly denied the brand whenever it was applied to him. He never meant to offend and abuse, they were just the side effects. His intention was always along the lines of pointing out the ridiculous position or arguments (in his opinion) people used, to play devil's advocate, or because he'd thought up some particularly loathsome but very defensible argument. He loved to be thought of as clever, and saw trolling (or 'arguing' as he preferred) as a way to show his intelligence and wit. The motive was not to hurt others, but to build himself up. Don't think that because someone is trolling you, it's because of anything you have said or done. It's all about the troll themselves.
My own conclusion: It's OK to troll. But if you're going to troll, be *real* good at it. And be prepared to stand behind your view and take any blowback.
Weirdly, although Laurel's prescription for a cure sounds spot-on, I reckon her diagnosis is crook! Equating trolls with 'court jesters' and 'comedians' is almost a trollworthy level of false equivalence. Well played ma'am. I wish I ever met a troll who was even 1% worthy of the title of a 'court jester' or 'comedian'. The only trolls I ever encounter are on the same level as your average flasher in Central Park. Or a urine-filled condom thrower. Or those bits of dog-poop that get stuck in the grooves of your shoe-grip. Obviously I don't spend enough time in the rareified circles of social media commentary. All that said, take two of Laurel's suggestions for getting rid of the buggers and you'll see no trolls by morning!
Trolling if done constructively can really help you to realize when to introspect yourself and see if you have started to develop some bad habit. But it should not get off limits.
I'd only call a person a troll who was in the nuisance category, or intended gratuitous harm, or was trying to be clever or funny repeatedly and failing miserably at it.
it is up to the Fool to remind the King of the consequences of his actions.
it is up to the Fool to remind the King of the consequences of his actions.
I don't understand large corporates who don't moderate their social media pages and who allow trolls to belittle and badger their clients. A recent example was Qantas where a small group of guys respond on behalf of the company, pick up grammar and spelling, tell people why should they expect a response when they were stupid enough not to read the fine print, and on it goes. It seems to be done with Qantas blessing. It generates discussion because the trolls want you to bite and argue but it's not a positive thing.
Trolls if done strategically in the service of marketing an idea, especially a big idea can definitely serve as a great social and viral marketing tool that could skyrocket or explode somebody's business in the context of helping transform people's lives.
While I do
believe in the social purpose of jesters, (internet) trolls and jesters are two
very different things (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)). Court
jesters ran the risk of being beheaded, online trolls simply hide behind
anonymity, so that they can offend and threaten others without punishment. It's
a pity that this interesting post suffers from such a confusion of terms,
because the question being posed is important: how can we create an open
framework for free speech (including humourous criticism) that still protects
participants from offense and data corruption? Freedom without responsibility
usually leads to anarchy, so I believe we ultimately need a bill of rights for
the internet. In moderated online groups or inside organisations, social media
policies already give a taste on how this might work. Don't you think?-
Thanks for your reaction to my comment on Twitter, Laurel. 140 characters are not long
enough to address it, so I'll do it here.Your tweet:
@GeorgKolb I use 20 yr old USEnet vocab not Wikipedia – & how does examples
not deliver? *puzzled*Of course, you are free to define the term "troll" as you like, and I sincerely appreciate your intellectual exercise here. But you will understand that reading a title such as yours on this post does raise high expectations, in particular with those who have had first-hand experience with online trolls and bullying. The definition on Wikipedia I referred to in my earlier comment is not at all uncommon or new, just google internet trolls to find a sad selection of cases. And it isn't any different from the Usenet vocabulary,in fact, it goes back to Usenet times when users realized that there is nothing constructive in trolls.They don't want to open new horizons or make us all smarter through a carnival of thoughts as you suggest. They just want to offend and inflame. And it is exactly for that reason that Usenet users tried to help each other out with the maxime "Don't feed the trolls!", they even had many different icons for that http://jni.sdf-eu.org/trolls.html. When you feed the trolls, when you get engaged with them, the mud fight gets overtime, nothing good will come from it.
A very important constituent of internet trolls is their use of anonymity. You don't mention it once in your post. I find that peculiar, because it's their source of power and what makes them different from offline trolls, and so hard to fight.
And with that, on to your proposed fixes based on examples (even if most of them actually
aren't internet troll cases in the sense outlined above):– "Voice of choice vs. trolls": How does that work with an anonymous online troll? He will only appreciate the attention. Even if it worked, how many trolled people have a cause that will create a lobby group to support them?
– "Internet vigilantism vs. trolls": Excuse me, but it seems you are putting the fox in charge of the henhouse here! Do you really think "abusive video responses" are the solution to an insensitive girl exposing herself in an online video? Internet vigilantes can be a powerful source of itelligence and enlightenment, but they can also turn into an abusive crowd, and they will only start the chase, if there is a cause supported by many.
– "Director of Prosecution Community Consultation": Education and consultation are good and
necessary, but always a long shot, too long for most troll victims. In a way this example is indicative for the whole situation: the prosecutor trying to educate and consult where it's hard to prosecute,dealing with technical barriers, privacy issues, and the incredible speed. On top of that the task of balancing the right of free speech and the need to prosecute wrongdoing case by case.– "Individual voices in a community count": As you say, this is an offline example, your idea
to crowdsource support sites for troll victims is not more than just that, an idea.Laurel, I do really thank you for the effort trying to "fix the troll and bullying problem", but, I'm afraid, you didn't manage to do it. You end your post with a lot of questions. So, if not my thoughts, your own question marks prove that the post doesn't deliver on its title.
