The "wet spot" that Poppie leaves behind on Jerry's new couch, is actually there before Reni Santoni even sits down, hidden by newspapers. As he sits, at the last moment, he slips the newspapers aside, so that when he stands up again, the wet spot is visible.
George goes out of his way to avoid reading Breakfast at Tiffany's (and in Season 8's "The Fatigues", a book on anger management), however in Season 5's "The Conversion", he talks about how easy it is to become a Latvian Orthodox: "All I have to do is read a few books…." What's more, the "few books" he must read are thick, ancient religious texts.
Elaine says that she loves eating duck, but in The Strike, we learned that the only meat she will eat is fish occasionally.
George: If it's not about sports, I find it very hard to concentrate.
Jerry: You're not very bright, are you?
George: No I'm not. I would like to be, but I'm not.
Jerry: (admiring his new sofa) What do you think Lainey?
Elaine: Well, I don't know. I'll have to sit on it.
Jerry: Oh no. I don't want anyone sitting on it.
George: (to Jerry) I got a feeling I'm going to be much smarter than you pretty soon.
Jerry: Poppie peed on my sofa!
George: You know what I love? How there's two nuts named after people: Hazel and Filbert.
Jerry: (on Elaine's boyfriend) What is his stand...on abortion?
Elaine: Well, I'm sure he's pro-choice.
Jerry: How do you know?
Elaine: Because he, well...he's just so good-looking.

Re: Tartan(s), Sabre, Pearson(s), C&C(s), Catalina(s) - "Chesapeake Draft"
Wing keels? Not for me. If you sail, you eventually go aground. Wing keels aren't fun in mud. As for draft, use your depth finder and charts...it's no problem...you just have to stay more aware. But really, consider you draw either 3'6" or 6', in 7' of water either way you'd better pay attention. I've always sailed fins. Love the way they point and turn. I had a Cal 9.2 that drew 5'7", and it turned like it was on a lazy susan.
About NC, better spend some time there to see if you like the a.heat b. mosquitos c.the...culture (do you have diverse culinary tastes? good luck finding...oh...hummas?). And (I lived in Oriental for 2+years) on the Chesapeake there are endless destinations. On the Pamlico? nothing. Ocracoke is great but mot an easy trip, and once there you can be stuck for days by weather. Other than Ocracoke, really not much. Yeah Oriental is cute, but nothing there. New Bern is cute, but WAAAY up the river. Lotta crab docks tho....
And the Tartan is about ready! I've decided to shave the bottom. Varying opinions on the necessity, but I'm OCD and want her to be a jewel....

my wife had the sh!t scared out of her one afternoon, i was at home and the dispatcher calls me. she tells me that there is a burglary in progress at a residence that is about 4 miles away from my house and i am the closest one to it "i live right off the main highway". i hurried and suited up and as i was rushing out the door,my wife tells me that she is gonna lay down and take a nap. i start running hot toward the residence and the dispatcher comes on the radio and tells me that the suspects have just got into their vehicle and fled the scene heading in my direction. as i was almost to the residence the vehicle matching the description flew past me. i did a 180° and started after them and the chase was on. one of my partners come across the radio and said that he was almost to me about to pass my house. i tell him to block the suspects at the intersection in front of my house and we would shut them down. as i topped the hill i could see my buddy off on the north side of the road,patrol car sideways blocking the westbound lane. so the suspects had three avenues, stop, revene off the road to the left and probably take out my partner, or go right into my yard. he decides to try and run over my partner and as my buddy dodges the truck he fires several times at the truck " remember, right in front of my house and my bedroom faces the highway,only about 20ft from it". the truck continues eastbound about 3 more miles and tries to turn north on a dirtroad. i PIT the truck sending it down a ditch, through a barbwire fence,then back onto the roadway. he tries to regain control so i hit him again this time disabling the truck. the driver jumps out and tries to be combative............and the "minimal" amount of force is used to take the suspect into custody. my wife said that she was laying in bed, then heard sirens,tires screeching, then several gunshots. she said that she rolled out of bed,hit the floor and ran to the front door but we had already gone by.

Wangchen Dolma passes away, Self-immolation death toll rises to 102
[Monday, June 17, 2013 23:24]
Tibetan self-immolator Wangchen Dolma in an undated photo
DHARAMSHALA, June 17: Wangchen Dolma, the Tibetan nun who set herself on fire in protest against China's continued occupation of Tibet on June 11 in Tawu region of Kham, eastern Tibet has succumbed to her injuries.
Family members of the deceased's are being kept under house arrest by local Chinese authorities, following an ongoing clampdown on all channels of communication in the region.
According to the Dharamshala based exile Tibetan administration, Wangchen Dolma passed away on June 14 in a hospital in Dartsedo where Chinese security personnel had forcibly taken her from the protest site.
Authorities further cremated Wangchen Dolma's body without informing her family members, as has been the standard practice with other self-immolators.
"The authorities have surreptitiously cremated the body at the hospital. They have also kept the family members of the deceased under house arrest," the Central Tibetan Administration said.
Despite the restrictions placed on the family members, it is being reported that local Tibetans have been gathering at the deceased's home to offer their last respects and condolences.
Wangchen Dolma set herself on fire at around 5 pm (local time) on June 11 outside the Nyatso Monastery in Tawu, where thousands of monks from all over Tibet had congregated to take part in a major religious gathering.
A day before her self-immolation, on the evening of June 10, Wangchen Dolma reportedly advised students of a school in her native Tawu to diligently study Tibetan language.
Wangchen Dolma was born to Tenzin and Youdon of Gyal Bum Tsang family in Dragthok village in Minyag Drapa region of Tawu. She was enrolled at a Buddhist institute located on Barshab Dragkar, a sacred hill near her village.
Earlier reports had indicated that Chinese security personnel also severely beat and arrested an unidentified Tibetan man, who had tried to rescue Wangchen Dolma from falling into the hands of Chinese authorities. His current condition and whereabouts remain unknown.
Since 2009, as many as 119 Tibetans living under China's rule have set themselves on fire demanding freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile. 102 of the self-immolaters have passed away while the condition of more than ten remains unknown.

Pvt. Sullivan John Africano was born on March 8, 1919. His parents were John and Julia [Guilia] Africano, Italian immigrants who lived in Granville, Monongalia County, West Virginia. The 1930 Federal Census lists John as a laborer and indicates he worked in a coal mine, an occupation that young Sullivan would follow after completing grammar school and attending Riverside Junior High School. Sullivans siblings included Andrew (who was born while the family still lived in Italy), Samuel, Mary, Louis John, Rose, Julia, Irene, Frances, and Joan.
Sullivan enlisted in the U.S. Army on December 16, 1942, at Clarksburg, West Virginia. He was assigned to the 83rd Chemical Mortar Battalion, which trained at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, and Fort Gordon, Georgia. Although it was customary for newly enlisted soldiers to come home on furlough between boot camp and active duty, John Africano says rumors indicated his fathers unit would not be furloughed. So my mother went to Georgia to be with him for several weeks before he left camp. Sullivan John Africano would leave the States in September 1943.
Much laterin 1945his brother Sam, although older, would also join the Army and serve at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Louis John had entered the Navy at Norfolk, Virginia, in 1941he was at Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack on Americaand served in the South Pacific before coming home to graduate from West Virginia University. The three Africano men are pictured in Young American Patriots, Vol. 1 (Richmond, VA: National Publishing Co., 1946), p. 955.
Pvt. Africano was one of the many Americans who were killed in the sinking of the LST 422, the story of which Terry Lowry recounts in Bastard Battalion: A History of the 83rd Chemical Mortar Battalion in WWII (Charleston, WV: 35th Star Publishing, 2009). In mid-January 1944, plans for an amphibious invasion of Anzio and Nettuno, Italy, were underway, and by January 22, the beaches adjacent to these two cities had been cleared. The 83rd was heavily involved in this operation.
What happened that night has been called one of the greatest naval tragedies of the war. Although some accounts indicate there was an explosion not long after midnight, and it was originally thought the ship had been hit by a torpedo, the most accurate account is probably that of Broadhurst. He reported that around five-twenty a. m., the ship was blown into a minefield and struck a mine. Survivors remarked that they had noticed a sulfurous smell, which is consistent with a mine strike. By five-twenty-five, Broadhurst had given the order to abandon ship (though this fact is sometimes disputed by those who indicated that the ships communication system had been knocked out).
A variety of naval vesselsmany of them minesweepersbegan rescue efforts, and in the chaos of the rescue, LCI 32searching for survivorsalso hit a mine. While a number of men were rescued, the horrid weather conditionswind, cold, hail, and rainprobably accounted for many of the deaths; those not killed immediately by explosions, fire, or drowning would have become subject to hypothermia. Pvt. Africano would be one of the unlucky ones not rescued that night. Among the many citations he would receive was a Purple Heart.
Lowry says: Although it came at a high cost, and certainly not by intent, the 83rd had once again led the way in innovations, this time impacting future naval rescues (p. 162). He points out that rescuers (and survivors) noted the inadequacy of the life belts and jackets on the LST and of the lifesaving devices. Also stressed was the importance of rapid rescue in rough and icy waters and the need for better training in first aid.

2010 ASCA International Workshop: "Articulation(s)"full name / name of organization: Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) contact email: email@example.com Call for Papers March 25 – 27, 2010 2010 ASCA International Workshop: "Articulation(s)" The Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) invites proposals for paper submissions and panel sessions for its yearly International Workshop. How do we analyze, understand, and participate in the world? What are the ways in which we can think through concepts such as aesthetics, identity, politics, and space to articulate the object(s) of our inquiry? These are a few of the questions the 2010 ASCA International Workshop, "Articulation(s)," seeks to explore. The workshop offers a space in which we can reflect upon such questions and the methodological nuances, theoretical consequences, and political implications that arise when we interrogate (trans)national theories, disciplines, and contested object(s). With its double meaning, to express and to connect, articulation(s) highlights the contingency of the unities of meaning and of discourse(s) that we ascribe to our object(s) in question. Articulation(s) is a generative concept that has been prominent in shaping theory for decades. Working (inter)disciplinarily in the humanities, articulation(s), as a travelling concept, refers to the engaging of objects, concepts, and theories and the (im)possibilities of interrogation. In this workshop articulation(s) is presented in relation to four distinct themes that we will (re)articulate and/or interrogate to see whether they help us express the relationships between theories, discipline, and object(s) from our various fields. These issues will be discussed in four panels: National Identity This panel will focus on concrete analyses utilizing articulation as a tool or strategy for shaping interventions within a particular social formation, conjuncture, or context. As L. Grossberg puts it, "articulation is the production of identity on top of differences, of unities out of fragments, of structures across practices" (1992). When articulation becomes "a practice of thinking of 'unity and difference,' of 'difference in complex unity,' without becoming a hostage to the privileging of difference as such" (Daryl Slack, 1996), how then, can a social formation like a nation (which is of course inherently infused with difference), be analyzed in terms of articulation (without overdetermining and essentializing)? This panel seeks to address questions of national identity and concrete analyses of articulations of such, but also related issues including articulations of global phenomena in national contexts. Migratory Aesthetics Space Politics of Mourning In keeping with the spirit of tradition, this workshop has been inspired by the 2008-2009 ASCA Theory Seminar entitled "Articulations": Theoretically Speaking. The deadline for proposals is: October 31, 2009. Those selected to participate will be asked to provide a 3000 word paper (excluding bibliography) by January 2, 2010, so that the papers can be distributed in advance of the workshop. In order to allow for a sufficient amount of discussion time, papers will not be read. Instead, participants will be asked to provide a short summary of their argument or to respond to another panelist(s)'s paper for a maximum of 10 minutes. Proposals should be sent to: Dr. Eloe Kingma (Managing Director) cfp categories: cultural_studies_and_historical_approaches ethnicity_and_national_identity film_and_television gender_studies_and_sexuality general_announcements graduate_conferences international_conferences popular_culture postcolonial theory

Abusive Tax Avoidance Transactions:
IRS Needs Better Data to Inform Decisions about Transactions
GAO-11-493: Published: May 12, 2011. Publicly Released: Jun 13, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Abusive tax avoidance transactions (ATAT) range from frivolous tax schemes to highly technical and abusive tax shelters marketed to taxpayers by promoters selling tax advice. ATATs threaten the U.S. tax system's integrity if honest taxpayers believe that others do not pay their fair share of taxes. GAO was asked to (1) describe what is known about trends in ATAT usage; (2) describe results of IRS's ATAT enforcement efforts; and (3) evaluate IRS's implementation of the ATAT provisions in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Using criteria from the act, GAO analyzed statistics and other documents on trends and results and interviewed IRS and other tax experts.
While trend data on taxpayers' use of ATATs are limited, IRS and other experts GAO contacted agreed that a problem exists and is continually changing. One theme that emerged from GAO's discussions with these experts is that ATATs marketed by promoters to corporations and wealthy individuals have declined in recent years, although the experts had different views on the extent of the decline. They also said that ATATs have become more international in nature. Even though estimating the extent of the ATAT problem is inexact because ATATs are often hidden, the experts believed that the changing nature of ATATs warrants continuous IRS vigilance. IRS has many ATAT-related enforcement efforts--investigations, examinations, and settlement initiatives--across different divisions but has incomplete data on the results on those efforts. For example, IRS's small business division's promoter investigations help stop promotions, but IRS had incomplete information on why investigations often closed without penalties or injunctions, information that could be used to help decide the types of investigations to start. In addition, IRS recommended billions of dollars in additional taxes from examining tax returns with suspected ATATs, but IRS did not identify the part of the additional amount that was collected or that related to the ATAT issue as opposed to other issues. In addition, some ATAT results were reported inconsistently across IRS divisions. Without comprehensive or consistent information, IRS does not have the best information to decide which promoters to investigate and the number of examinations that should be done as well as to evaluate their impacts. Even though the 2004 act increased the requirements for taxpayers and promoters to disclose their use of transactions and enhanced the penalties for improper disclosure, problems existed. IRS received many disclosures of transaction use from taxpayers, but it had no assurance that its Office of Tax Shelter Analysis received all the disclosures it should have. In addition, IRS did not verify that all the disclosures it received were complete, and a new process for reviewing the completeness of disclosures and following up with taxpayers was not yet finalized. Not receiving disclosures or receiving incomplete disclosures of transactions would keep IRS from having information needed to identify the transactions that merit an examination of their appropriateness and to assess related penalties as needed. Finally, certain promoters who are required by law under threat of penalty to give their list of investors within 20 business days after IRS requested it did so. However, other promoters who are not covered by this requirement often took longer than 20 days to provide the lists without the threat of a similar penalty. IRS did not comprehensively track how quickly the lists were received. Not receiving lists on a timely basis prevents IRS from quickly working to stop promoter activity. GAO suggests that Congress consider instituting a penalty aimed at certain promoters not giving investor lists to IRS within a specified time. GAO also recommends IRS act or establish processes to (1) improve data on the results of ATAT-related investigations and examinations, (2) ensure that required disclosures are filed by taxpayers, (3) review disclosures for completeness; (4) track the time for IRS to receive investor lists; and (5) induce more promoters to provide investor lists by a specified time. In commenting on a draft of this report, IRS agreed with most recommendations but cited resource and capability constraints in tracking ATAT data and investor lists, which GAO believes can be addressed.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: We contacted IRS regarding the status of this recommendation. As of the fall of 2013, officials were not aware of any efforts in Congress to consider this matter.
Matter: Congress may wish to consider instituting a penalty on non-material advisor promoters for failing to provide investor lists to IRS within a specified time period when requested, comparable to the 20-business-day requirement for material advisors.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS updated its Internal Revenue Manual in December 2011 to require using disposal codes to indicate why promoter investigations are surveyed or discontinued. It also used the codes to evaluate leads sent to the field. Although it found no specific weaknesses this time, it plans to do this analysis annually.
Recommendation: To focus resources on promoter investigations most likely to stop abuse, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should establish a process to ensure that field office staff consistently apply the recently created reason codes for closing investigations without penalties or injunctions, and document how the results are analyzed and used in decisions on investigations to start.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS provided GAO with May 2, 2012 "official desk procedures" designed to ensure data consistency. Among other things, these procedures require divisions to describe how they will compile information before they actually compile it. If divisions differ in their approaches, the Office of Tax Shelter Analysis will help them reconcile issues and agree on one approach for compiling the information. More consistent information will help IRS provide reliable information to the Congress and determine how many examinations it should do and what their impacts are.
Recommendation: To improve reporting on the results of examinations on ATAT issues, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should require all divisions to supply similar, consistent results from existing data systems.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In a July 10, 2012 letter to GAO, IRS said that although it agreed that tracking tax amounts recommended, assessed, and collected by issue (rather than by tax return as is currently done) might provide valuable information for management, it had resource and capability constraints that it could not overcome to capture information in this way. Specifically, it had no system available that could capture the identity of each issue on each return; identify whether each issue is an ATAT or non-ATAT issue; and determine the share of tax proposed, assessed, and collected associated with each issue on each adjusted tax return. Implementing new system capabilities, it said, would require extensive resources, which are diminishing under current budget constraints.
Recommendation: To improve reporting on the results of examinations on ATAT issues, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should separately track the tax amounts recommended, assessed, and collected between ATAT issues and non-ATAT issues.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS provided GAO with May 2, 2012, "official desk procedures" designed to ensure data reporting accuracy. Among other things, the procedures specify that when possible, IRS will compile report data from its Enforcement Revenue Information Service database as reconciled and corrected by the Office of Servicewide Penalties. The procedures also make each division responsible for internally vetting its data's accuracy. More accurate data will help IRS provide reliable information to the Congress and best determine how many examinations it should do and what their impacts are.
Recommendation: To improve reporting on the results of examinations on ATAT issues, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should establish a process to review the accuracy of examination data prior to its inclusion in future reports to the Joint Committee on Taxation.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In February 2013, IRS implemented a new indicator and a matching process to regularly review whether filers meet their filing obligations with OTSA.
Recommendation: To ensure that Forms 8886 filed with tax returns are also filed with OTSA, after establishing a new indicator for paper and electronic tax returns, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should establish a process to periodically check whether the filers met their filing obligations with Office of Tax Shelter Analysis (OTSA).
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS's next study reported that taxpayers used a computer to prepare 98 percent of the paper forms that taxpayers filed in 2011 and that OTSA scanned or transcribed into a database.
Recommendation: To improve IRS's next study of whether Form 8886 should be filed electronically, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should identify how often filers already use computers to prepare these forms.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS conducted the same test using the same data source as GAO did, but used information from more recent (2010) tax return filings. It found a significant drop in mismatched tax returns. However, because some taxpayers still did not file a form even though they indicated that they did file or should have filed, IRS followed up with a sample of them. It found that the taxpayers incorrectly indicated that they filed or should have filed. Nevertheless, it established a process to look for mismatches in the future and follow up with taxpayers that seemed to be material advisers.
Recommendation: To ensure material advisor disclosure forms are filed, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should investigate why partnerships and S corporations often did not file a form with OTSA even though they reported on their tax returns that they filed the form with IRS or had a requirement to file.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: IRS developed a procedure to evaluate the completeness of disclosure forms and follow up on incomplete forms as necessary, and it updated the Internal Revenue Manual to reflect these changes.
Recommendation: To correct problems with its review of the completeness of disclosure forms, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should ensure that OTSA establishes a new process to review completeness and monitor its success.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: IRS believes that resource and capability constraints to systematically capturing this information may outweigh the benefits of having it.
Recommendation: To monitor the timeliness of investor list receipts, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should comprehensively track the elapsed days it takes for material advisors and non-material advisors to provide the lists to IRS.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: For the first part of the recommendation, IRS took steps such as GAO had recommended by updating the Internal Revenue Manual to suggest that an IRS agent consider preparing a summons to use at an initial meeting with a suspected non-material advisor. For the second part, in line with the GAO recommendation, IRS gathered input from field officials and drafted a memo saying that no one thought lowering the material advisor dollar threshold would be helpful.
Recommendation: To induce non-material advisors to provide investor lists to IRS within a specified time, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should take steps such as requiring IRS staff to bring a summons for an investor list to the first interview with a suspected non-material advisor, and reevaluating the idea of lowering material advisor dollar thresholds.

General Details
This new boat has a stunning profile in either version with several motor yacht cues including dual mezzanine decks; one in the cockpit and the second on the main level after deck. The latter mezzanine offers both rear facing lounge seating, along with a second seating area and a table for al fresco dining. An outside galley and grilling area are included for added convenience and ambiance.
- Viking 92 Convertible Not so long ago, many experienced tournament skippers and anglers felt a boat over 70 feet was on the cusp of being too large to effectively compete on the tournament trail. But the Viking 74 Convertible launched in May 2004 proved differently. Fast forward to the fall 2008 when the launch of our 82 Convertible continued the upward trend demonstrating beyond any doubt that Viking hit another grand slam with its then new flagship. Now we approach the threshold of another amazing achievement, the Viking 92 Convertible, as we continue to lead the industry with new product and unrivaled innovation. Scheduled for a spring launch in 2014, the Viking 92 Convertible will be available in Open Bridge and Enclosed Bridge configurations. This new boat has a stunning profile in either version with several motor yacht cues including dual mezzanine decks; one in the cockpit and the second on the main level after deck. The latter mezzanine offers both rear facing lounge seating, along with a second seating area and a table for al fresco dining. An outside galley and grilling area are included for added convenience and ambiance. The yacht's interior is a showpiece of elegance and luxury. The 23-foot beam not only opens the salon but transforms it into a majestic living room with built-in furniture and plush appointments like a 60-inch flat screen television that rises on a lift out of the teak cabinetry. An L-shape island in the galley complements the work area and all countertops feature custom selected granite. A pair of walk-in pantries and a full day head are forward and characterize an excellent use of space. Nearby, a formal dining area accommodates eight guests. The 92 Convertible has six staterooms, each with its own private head and shower. The full beam master suite features a king size walk around bed, a walk-in closet, a dressing table, and his and her private facilities. Crew quarters are aft with access from the cockpit. The full beam area includes a head with a shower, a small galley area, and upper and lower berths in a private cabin. Propulsion choices include offerings by Caterpillar and MTU. The communication, navigation and entertainment electronic package will be designed and installed by Viking sister company, Atlantic Marine Electronics. The first Open Bridge boat will have a tuna tower designed and fabricated by Palm Beach Towers, another Viking subsidiary. Selecting our subsidiaries for standard and optional accessories allows us to deliver the 92 Convertible turnkey ready.

GTA City Of Paradise: Real Or A Hoax?
By William Usher 1 year ago comments
[Update: GTA City of Paradise is fake] Right off the bat, I'll just tell it like it is: A user on 4Chan came across a meeting that Rockstar had with a Bulgarian-based company called Socialevo Network. They're a marketing firm centered around online and mobile based content engagement and social advertising. The real kicker is that tucked away on Socialevo's site are some files... some very GTA-esque files. A reader tipped us off to the folder of images and mentioned that the only context was that they were snapped during a meeting between Socialevo and Rockstar. He tried bringing the information to an IGN forum and asked the users to help him figure out if the images are attached to something real or if it's an elaborate hoax. Based on heuristics, this could go either way: Logically, someone working at Socialevo.net could have easily Photoshopped the images and posted them to the company's backend. The sub-folder containing the images, as of the writing of this article, is available on Socialevo's website. There's no reason why we should get any legal notices from someone given that the folder is public and we didn't break any laws clicking on a public link. So really Rockstar, no copyright fines... please? Working in favor of this potentially being legit is the fact that the meeting supposedly took place on Monday, November 18th , in the middle of the afternoon around 2:35pm. That sort of makes sense. The next three photos are uploaded within minutes of each other, at 2:54, 2:56 and 2:58. The only thing is, the numbering of the photos seem to indicate that the one taken first is actually the last in the file numbering sequence. So technically, based on the file sequence, the one uploaded last is actually first. Given the upload times and file sequencing seeming rather odd not to mention that the main logo of GTA City of Paradise looks Photoshopped to oblivion it's hard to tell exactly what's going on with the information. The images of Las Vegas also look pretty cheap. However, if this was a concept pitch, realistically a lot of this stuff probably would look cheaply made and tossed together. It wouldn't be until the project management and design phase would we see something a bit more concrete. If we are to follow the presumption that this is real, one would have to question what is a GTA City of Paradise? And why would someone like Socialevo.net have photos of from this alleged meeting? Technically it could be a marketing strategy being setup for a mobile app of some sort? Could it be a DLC expansion for GTA Online? There's definitely no way that Rockstar is already working on a sixth game when GTA V has yet to launch on PC. Ultimately, I must say that this information has me stumped. As easy as it is to claim that it's all fake, the fact that it's on a legitimate marketing site lends itself credence that it may not be entirely fake. But again, if it's an employee who frequents 4Chan and wanted to get a rise out of people, this wouldn't be a bad way to do it. Sadly, I'll chalk this up as a rumor until someone can provide additional information on this stuff. Back to top

WHAT kind of matter would you expect to find inside a giant planet? A strange transparent metal created by firing an X-ray laser at aluminium might hold some clues.
To create this exotic state of matter, researchers at the FLASH facility in Hamburg, Germany, took a thin piece of aluminium foil and blasted it with an X-ray laser that generated about 10 million gigawatts of power per square centimetre. At standard temperature and pressure, solid aluminium is a lattice of ions surrounded by a sea of free electrons. Each photon in the FLASH beam had enough energy to knock an electron away from an ion, while the photon got absorbed in the process.
Normally in a solid metal, another electron will instantly take the place of the missing one. But FLASH is so powerful that it can rip out one electron from every ion in the foil ...

2012-13 Big 12 Overall Men's Basketball Statistics - Big 12 Conference - Official Athletic Site So this was my first time looking up Big 12 only stats from their website and after seeing all the categories, I'm very impressed with our team. It seems like 70% of the team categories, we rank in the top 3 in the conference. I'm most impressed with scoring offense and rebounding...if we can keep that up things look good for the remainder of the year... In the individual player categories, I'm surprised at the number of guys we have representing us! We have 4 of the top 20 in overall scoring leaders in Niang, Ejim, Clyburn and McGee. We have the leading rebounder in the conference (Ejim), along with 3 of the top 15 leaders in assists and 3 pointers made... I can't wait to see how the next 2 weeks goes...we most definitely have the opportunity to win this conference if we keep up the good work... One game at a time!

You're right, it's difficult to track on his site throughout the year... The other stat I noted from the big 12 site that jumped out to me is our attendance...fantastic!

No debate, some pioneering tones going on. HOWEVER, as an actual album, Electric Ladyland has no cohesive value whatsoever. There are multiple extended blues jams that have no place on any sort of studio album; I can't see how Jimi just "jamming out" for 12 minutes constitutes a song, especially when it was very likely all improvisational and recorded in one take. Even many of the tracks with shorter run times suffer from being little more than jamming for jamming's sake. Innovative sounds: check; ahead-of-its-time guitar work: check; an utter lack of direction as an album: double-check.Van Morrison Astral Weeks2.01967 The Beatles Sgt.

The Model United Nations of Lübeck (MUNOL) is an annual student conference simulating the work of the United Nations (UN). Like the real United Nations, MUNOL deals with issues concerning world politics and tries to resemble the UN as authentically as possible. Therefore important UN bodies such as the General Assembly, including 1st to 6th Committee, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Human Rights Council and further commissions are simulated.
MUNOL particularly addresses high school students from the age of sixteen from all over Europe. Several schools from different European countries like the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, Turkey and Poland attend the conference every year. Welcoming a lot of delegates that have never participated in MUNs before, MUNOL has become a conference with a clear focus on these so-called "first timers". Thus, it is not necessary for any participating student to already have any prior MUN experience before attending the conference in Lübeck.
Nonetheless, as English is the official MUNOL language every student is required to be able to speak freely in this language and preferably also to use basic rhetoric. Furthermore every student is expected to dress formally according to the official dress code.
The Global Challenge of Refugees
The skyrocketing numbers of fugitives already crossed the 50-million mark and is still rising every day. Providing a safe new home, dissolving the reasons that forced them to flee and protecting the refugee's human rights is one of the toughest challenges the United Nations faced in its long existence. Therefore, the Secretaries-General of MUNOL 2015 choose this year's official Conference Theme to be:
'The Global Challenge of Refugees'.
Green Conference
Creating awareness for highly topical issues and problems around the world is one of MUNOL's main goals. During the last years the organisers have increased their efforts to raise special awareness on the environment as well as the threats our planet and its resources is facing today. Therefore MUNOL is trying to take steps to ensure that the conference is as eco-friendly and eco-efficient as possible in order to minimise the negative environmental effects it might have.
Among others the following steps have been taken towards a greener conference:
1) usage of recycled paper
2) two-sided printing
3) waste separation
4) fair trade products like coffee
5) promotion of carpools
6) encouraging the usage of public means of transport by providing discounted bus tickets
7) the conference is mainly held in a building which has been completely energetically redeveloped
8) support of environmental organisations
A constant striving towards decreasing MUNOL's strain on the environment is a high priority to everyone involved. For this reason any ideas related to eco-friendly improvements would be much appreciated. Just send an e mail to email@example.com !
