Official confirmation of the scale of the victory is not expected until late afternoon but estimates are pointing to a clear two to one majority in favour of extending the right to marry to same-sex couples.
Key campaign groups fighting the rights reform conceded defeat early on while up to 2,000 people are packing into the upper courtyard of Dublin Castle to watch the results feed in.

Yo Miles!
A DECADE MIGHT appear musically interminable while you're in the middle of it, but give its by-products a dozen years or so and the cream rises. At times even the curdled butterfat is sweetened by nostalgia. Time has a way of reconciling the music of enemies. When "Brandy, You're a Fine Girl" saunters onto my radio, I mentally file it next to similar-sounding contemporaries such as Beefheart's "Big-Eyed Beans from Venus" and the Commodores' "Brick House." Led Zeppelin never received critical respect until half the bands on album-oriented radio stopped sounding like them and half the bands on college radio copped their sound.
A similar perspective can be applied to the music of Miles Davis. Kind of Blue may get name-checked by the settled jazzocracy, but it's his music of the 1970s that has slowly won favor with the current listening (and, most important, recording) public. Oft deemed a rock sellout by know-nothings, this era of Miles was much too weird to sell at all. Miles's coked-out wah-wah trumpet and organ playing were set against undanceable static funk rhythms and mixed with tabla and sitar by producer Teo Macero, who then cut the tape to ribbons and combined several sessions into one.
Yet today even this avant garde aesthetic can get the museum treatment. Yo Miles! features an enormous, all-star cast of avant savants. Genre-bending speed-guitarist Henry Kaiser and space-rasta trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith are joined by jazz luminaries ROVA sax 4tet, Geraldine Fibbers guitarist Nels Cline, and organist John Medeski to fill two CDs that sound like note-for-note re-creations of tracks from albums like 1974's Big Fun and Dark Magus.
Smith's re-creation of Miles's sound is uncanny--you can hear the connection to his own delicate and much sparser work. Kaiser has always struck me as too hairy a hippie, and his good taste (Madagascar pop/U.K. guitarist Derek Bailey) is often outweighed by the bad (the Grateful Dead). Here, he is restrained and his playing is often tasty. This is a mixed blessing. In the context of the company he's keeping, his sensibility practically signifies pop.
But this record is troubling in its mimicry. We should hold aging adventurers to the same standards of originality that we saddle the young lions with. Although there is deviation from the original cuts--the massed horns on "Moja-Nne," the slack-key guitar on "Maiysha," Smith's own excellent "Miles Dewey Davis III-Great Ancestor," and, of course, the individual solos--they don't revise (let alone innovate) from their source.
Any attempt to organically recreate the musique concrete of Macero's production, however, is an audacious conceptual task. And we have to admire it, even if we're a bit put off by its curatorial agenda. Maybe by 2010 more bar bands will be choosing this version of funk over Pearl Jam's.

Multiple GUPs for all the network
I have some GUPs and I want to use them for all the network. I don't want to list all the subnets in explicit gups section (let me say, such 500 subnet), ALL the network,
I want to assign all the GUPs to the entire network and I want every clients to choose the "fastest" GUPs (as reply time).
Is it possible?
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Best Practices with Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Group Update Providers (GUP)
You should be able the mutilple gup configuration:
About configuring rules for multiple Group Update Providers
There is currently no option for the clients to get the fastest GUP - by default the SEP clients will go always for the GUP available in the same subnet.
Explicit Group Update Providers
You can configure an explicit list of Group Update Providers that clients can use to connect to Group Update Providers that are on subnets other than the client's subnet. Clients that change location frequently can then roam to the closest Group Update Provider on the list.
An explicit Group Update Providers list does not turn clients into Group Update Providers. You use an explicit Group Update Provider list to map the client subnet network addresses to the Group Update Providers. You identify the Group Update Providers by any of following means:
IP address
Host name
Explicit Group Update Providers can be static or dynamic, depending on how you configure them. If you use an IP address or a host name to configure an explicit Group Update Provider, then it is a static Group Update Provider. This difference affects how Group Update Providers act in networks that mix legacy version clients and managers with clients and managers from the current release.
If you use a subnet to designate a Group Update Provider, it is dynamic, as clients search for a Group Update Provider on that subnet.
Multiple Group Update Providers
Multiple Group Update Providers use a set of rules, or criteria, to elect themselves to serve groups of clients in their own subnets. To configure multiple Group Update Providers, you specify the criteria that client computers must meet to qualify as a Group Update Provider. You can use a host name or IP address, registry keys, or operating system as criteria. If a client computer meets the criteria, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager adds the client to a global list of Group Update Providers. Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager then makes the global list available to all the clients in the network. Clients check the list and choose the Group Update Providers that are located in their own subnet. Multiple Group Update Providers are dynamic Group Update Providers.
Use multiple Group Update Providers when your network includes any of the following scenarios:
The client computers on your network are not legacy clients.
Multiple Group Update Providers are supported on the computers that run Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.5 (RU5) software or a later version. You cannot use multiple Group Update Providers with the legacy clients that run versions of Symantec Endpoint Protection earlier than 11.0.5 (RU5). Legacy clients cannot get content from multiple Group Update Providers. A legacy client cannot be designated as a Group Update Provider even if it meets the criteria for multiple Group Update Providers.
You can create a separate LiveUpdate Settings policy and configure a single, static Group Update Provider for a group of legacy clients.
You have multiple groups and want to use different Group Update Providers for each group
You can use one policy that specifies rules for the election of multiple Group Update Providers. If clients change locations, you do not have to update the LiveUpdate Settings policy. The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager combines multiple Group Update Providers across sites and domains. It makes the list available to all clients in all groups in your network.
Multiple Group Update Providers can function as a failover mechanism. The use of Multiple Group Update Providers ensures a higher probability that at least one Group Update Provider is available in each subnet.
About the types of Group Update Providers
Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) Group Update Providers (GUPs) Selection Examples
Understanding "Explicit Group Update Providers (GUPs) for Roaming Clients" in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 12.1.2
There is a tool I created to help you build a LiveUpdate policy with multiple explicit GUPS. Check out this page for details on the tool:

I would bet on Cueto pitching left-handed even.
If you ain't first, you're last! - Ricky Bobby
After comferring with my scientist buddies at NASA, I'm going with Cueto.
This has got to be a joke...right?
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

Puffin Web Browser is minimalistic browser for those who just want to surf the web
Lots of users don't need bookmarks sync, user-agent, integration with other apps and all this kind of advanced-user stuff. They just want to navigate, that's it, visit websites, read articles and watch videos on it. That's all. For those users, Puffin Web Browser is a good choice, since it's a light, simple and fast mini browser. Well, we must say one of the fastest we've ever tried.
It supports flash, although it isn't not optimized for playing flash games on it. It's really fast since it renders full version of web pages quickly and reliably thanks to cloud servers. What's more, it integrates an interesting feature: keyboard and mouse button that launches your Android keyboard and a touchpad. Well, that's useful if you didn't get used to the tap-like navigation.
You can choose between web browser-like view or mobile browser mode. From settings, you can also select block pop-up windows, set home page, load flash, zoom buttons or clear cache and history. Tapping on the bookmark icon, next to the browser bar, you'll access your bookmarks and navigation history.
And not really much. Did you want to navigate with no additives, didn't you? Puffin Browser is a choice.
Wicked Fast: Puffin speeds up mobile browsing by shifting the workload from the resource-limited devices to the cloud servers, and resource-demanding webpages can run super-fast on your phones or tablets.
Cloud Protection: All traffic from Puffin app to Puffin server are encrypted, a protection from nearby hackers. It's safe to use public non-secure WiFi through Puffin, but not safe at all for most browsers.

Full refund available for dates property is inaccessible. Property owner not responsible for events associated with guests delayed arrival or departure due to extreme weather. We have been successful in getting all of our guests out of the valley in time for their flights with no delays. However, we do recommend guests arrange additional accommodations on the Island for a day at the end of their stay to ensure a smooth transition to the airport and alleviate the stress in catching flights on a timely basis.

What a pleasant experience. Celebrating engagements, birthdays, friendship, and love to oneness. This garden is a special place in each of our hearts. Give thanks, do good, practice yoga self love and compassion. Mahalo for the beautiful time & stories. Lots of tasty foods were made i that kitchen.
The area is so special and the history fascinating, but the facilities and the overall feel we got from the property was that we we're truly staying in the valley of the king. The staff were attentive to our every need and were extremely friendly and helpful. The grounds on the property are very well maintained and the species markers on the exotic fruit trees and other tropical plants were very informative. We all felt so welcome here and everyone in our group intends to visit Hawaii again and we all feel we just have to stay here again! Thank you so much (Mahalo)
I never thought we would be able to stay in the Valley and it was a great treat. John gave us constant care and tours of waterfalls and fruits. Edible fruits. We all. Loved it.
As mentioned, my family and I stayed at this house for our vacation in December and all of us were taken aback by the serenity this place housed. Most importantly, the owner was very hospitable with all our queries and concerns. We will definitely come back and this time, we won't plan for anything else but to stay in the Valley. It's simply splendid (minus the mosquitoes...but just bring repellant). Lots of hiking, swimming at the beach, eating fruits, and my favorite- just enjoying the majesty of the Valley.
I visited the property while I was on the island because I booked it for my family for our winter vacation this year and wanted to see it before everyone arrived. I thought the pictures on this site would be exaggerated so since I was already on the island for other purposes, I decided to drop by. Well, lo and behold, the pictures are precise! In fact, I think the pictures don't do justice to the property as a whole because the botanical garden also includes a lily pond and many beautiful tropical flowers. The backyard is a true organic orchard...talk about a slice of paradise. No word of lie, there were jackfruits, avocados, mangoes, papayas, and oranges, to name a few. The waterfalls are a few steps away. The property is a trek to get to but with a 4x4 and daylight, you should be fine. It takes about 20 minutes to get there from the Lookout. We are all very excited to enjoy our holidays there soon.
Enjoy a wide variety of exotic fruits and flowers on property. 20 min. walk to the beach through lush rainforest. 5 minute walk to waterfalls and pools for swimming. Stunning cliff faces, crystal clear rivers, running wild horses - the real Hawaii experience

America East ShootAround: Can UMBC defend its title?
Mitchell Layton/Getty Images
John Chaney's influence on Hartford
By Andy Glockner
Five Things To Watch in '08-09
By Andy Glockner
More often than not, the first team mentioned by league coaches was Boston University. The Terriers were very young and banged up for a good part of last season but played well down the stretch, winning nine of their final 12 games. This season, they have everyone back and guard Tyler Morris, the league's 2007 rookie of the year, should be back at 100 percent after slogging through the second half of last season upon return from injury. With Morris healthy and back in playing condition, the Terriers will have numerous solid scoring options to complement their typically stingy defense. Don't be fooled by last season's 14-17 overall mark. BU has the talent and now the maturity to make a serious title run. • Is BU a lock to win the league?
Far from it. In fact, you can make fairly convincing arguments for up to six of the league's nine programs, which should make the A-East a lot of fun this season. Vermont adds Michigan State transfer guard Maurice Joseph to a strong core led by league player of the year Marqus Blakely and combo guard Mike Trimboli. Hartford has everyone back from its second-place club except for forward Warren McLendon, who was dismissed from the program. UMBC, the defending league and tournament champ, still has matchup nightmare Darryl Proctor in the post and point guard Jay Greene, who led the country in assist-to-turnover margin last season. Albany is loaded with young talent that should mature in time for league play, while fellow SUNY school Binghamton is rolling the dice with some high-talent (and high-risk) transfers. • What is Binghamton doing?
Supporters of second-year head coach Kevin Broadus' open-door policy will point out that UMBC won the league going away last season with the considerable help of one-year transfers Ray Barbosa and Cavell Johnson. This year, Binghamton's two biggest incoming names are guard Tiki Mayben -- who was kicked off his high school team, didn't qualify academically at Syracuse and then played one season at UMass -- and Theo Davis, a former Gonzaga center who was the other player arrested for drug possession with Josh Heytvelt in February 2007. There's no doubt that the Bearcats have improved their talent level significantly, but on the heels of the negative publicity from the Miladin Kovacevic case (even though he never played for Broadus), what they do off the court may be just as important as what they do on it. • Is there a spoiler in the house?
The Wildcats may not have enough to threaten to win the league, but a number of people around the A-East say to watch out for New Hampshire. The Wildcats return everyone except forward Mike Christensen from a team that was at times very potent offensively and now gets James Madison transfer Colbey Santos as an additional weapon. • Who is the biggest X factor?
It's probably Trimboli, the Catamounts' dynamic yet erratic floor leader. There's no doubt that he can score in bunches, but Joseph's arrival to complement Blakely should mean that there's less of a need for him to put up big scoring numbers. If that's the case, the onus will be on Trimboli to improve his assist-to-turnover numbers, which are very low for a lead guard. Last season, Trimboli had 11 games with at least five giveaways, which helped contribute to Vermont's 16 games where the Catamounts turned it over on at least 20 percent of their possessions. If backup point Nick Vier can become more efficient himself, Trimboli also could find some time at off guard, where his long-range shooting can better be utilized. If Vermont can cut down on its miscues, the Catamounts have a very real chance to win the league.

2008-09 Team Capsules
The Great Danes you see in November probably won't resemble the club you'll see come America East play. Albany could have freshman Anthony Raffa and juco transfer Michael Johnson starting in its backcourt sooner rather than later. Given time to jell with returnees like guard Tim Ambrose (7.2 ppg) and forward Brian Connelly (10.1 ppg, 5.3 rpg), expect the Danes to be a much more freewheeling bunch than last season's half-court grinders. The bigger questions are whether they can defend in a 94-foot game and, without departed senior forwards Brian Lillis and Brent Wilson, if they will be able to rebound like last season. Albany was the second-best team in the nation in defensive rebounding percentage, allowing opponents to claim only 25.6 percent of their misses. Binghamton
Rolling the dice on Theo Davis, a Gonzaga transfer, could be smart business for a team that really struggled to defend inside the arc and rebound its defensive glass last season. While fellow transfer Tiki Mayben, formerly of UMass, might help stabilize the Cats on the offensive end, Davis is the kind of athlete you rarely see in the A-East. If he takes his second chance seriously, the rest of the conference could be in for some long nights in the paint. Boston University
What was a very young team the past two seasons is now maturing, and it's time for the Terriers to become more efficient on offense. According to kenpom.com, no individual BU player was even above average offensively last season. That and the injuries help explain how BU ended up in the nation's bottom 100 in both 2-point and 3-point shooting percentage. Throw in turnovers on 21.3 percent of the Terriers' possessions (197th in Division I), and that makes for a very mediocre offense. One good thing going for BU is that Corey Lowe, the Terriers' leading scorer and highest volume shooter, made a team-best 37.1 percent from the arc. He'll need some help, though, if the Terriers are going to fulfill their preseason promise. Hartford
Addition by subtraction? We'll see how the Hawks can replace the production of forward Warren McLendon (12.1 ppg, 5.3 rpg), who was dismissed from his second Division I program after also flaming out at The Citadel. The Hawks like to score and rebound en masse, so in theory they should be able to replace the inconsistent McLendon's production, but they were a terrible rebounding team last season even with him around. Improved chemistry can go only so far if you can't rebound. What Hartford can do, though, is shoot the ball. The Hawks are led by junior Joe Zaglinski (16.2 ppg), who knocked down 41 percent of his 251 3-point attempts last season. Maine
UMBC won the league at 13-3. Maine finished tied for last at 3-13. So, of course, the Black Bears went on the road on Jan. 12 and upended the Retrievers 77-74 in the second league game of the season. Unfortunately, not much went right after that for Maine, which lost 13 of its last 15 games. The good news is that the Black Bears bring back virtually everyone for another run. UMBC
It's not easy being green? Kermit the Frog received a strong rebuttal last season from Retrievers point guard Jay Greene (7.2 assists, 2.1 turnovers per game). He was a huge reason why UMBC was the second-most careful team in the nation, only coughing up the ball on 14.7 percent of its possessions. How Greene balances his shooting and dishing with less firepower around him this season will be a key to UMBC's title defense. New Hampshire
It's a good thing the Wildcats can shoot the 3, because last season they couldn't defend it or make shots from inside the arc. UNH was lit up for 39.3 percent shooting from the arc (320th) in Division I, so its own proficiency from that range was muted. The Wildcats were smart to take so many of their shots from the arc, though, given they were worse than all but two teams in the nation in 2-point field goal percentage. Despite its shooting imbalances, UNH still returns eight of its top nine scorers. Stony Brook
Head coach Steve Pikiell has to replace the top two scorers from last season's 7-23 squad. In Demetrius Young and Dayton transfer Desmond Adedeji, the Seawolves have some bulk inside, but on paper, they lack quality scoring options, which is troublesome given their struggles on that end last season. Vermont
You hate to play the "what if?" game, but you have to believe that Catamounts head coach Mike Lonergan will occasionally look wistfully at Boston College box scores this season and daydream about how well former Catamounts forward Joe Trapani would fit into this guard-heavy team's lineup. Back to reality It will be interesting to see how former Michigan State guard Maurice Joseph changes the Cats on both ends. Last season's club played some of the most "3-free" ball in the land, finishing in the bottom 40 both in percentage of shots taken and allowed from 3-point range. In his sophomore season at Michigan State in 2006-07, Joseph took 116 3s in just 520 minutes.

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 2.1.1Release
Fix Version/s: 2.5.2.Release
Component/s: Compiler Integration
Number of attachments :
Inner classes compiled in groovy cause compile errors in java in eclipse. The errors go away when doing a full project clean but come right back as soon as the java file that is referencing the inner class is changed (rebuilt). This basically makes it impossible to use inner classes in joint java/groovy projects
See the following example:
//groovy code class Outer { static class Inner {} }
//java code public class Client { { new Outer.Inner(); } }
As I said if I do a project clean everything compiles. As soon as I edit and save Client.java eclipse gives me the following error:
Outer.Inner cannot be resolved to a type Client.java /GroovyTest/src/main/java line 3 Java Problem
IntelliJ IDEA has the same problem. See http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/IDEA-50708
Still a problem, or at least the original comment is still a problem.
Travis, have you been able to narrow down the problem described in your comment? I have not been able to reproduce.
I have not had a chance to give this a test. Most of our team has switched to using Intellij so I haven't heard any complaints of this lately... We do plan on using the eclipse compiler via maven at that point so this could affect us then.
The original issue had to do with the core groovy compiler not compiling static inner classes correctly. Now it seems that is fixed but maybe there is a problem with multiple static inner classes. Could this be a problem in the core groovy compiler too? I'm not sure how greclipse uses the groovy compiler....
The "The constructor Outer.Inner() is undefined" is also a groovy 'bug'. I just raised http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-5080 - groovy incorrectly tags the generated constructor as synthetic.
You won't see it on the command line if you compile the java and groovy together in one step, you need to do a two part compile, the groovy and then java. That more closely mirrors the eclipse incremental build that shows the problem. An eclipse full build won't show the problem.
As for this:
class Outer { static class Inner1 { } static class Inner2 { } }
Can't get it to fail for me, maybe we've picked up some fix in 1.8.3 that addressed something in this area. please open a new bug if you see something in this area.
Oh, and I've committed the fix for the groovy bug 5080 into our copy of groovyc, so that under greclipse we won't tag the constructors incorrectly.
This fails for me with the following code (all code in .groovy files):
package com.company.somepackage public interface SomeInterface { SomeGroovyObject doSomething(SomeOtherGroovyObject param) } package com.company.somepackage class SomeTestClass { void setup() { testObject.someProperty = new SomeInterface() { return new SomeGroovyObject() } } }
The compiler gives an error like:
SomeTestClass.groovy (at line 1)
package com.company.somepackage
The type com.company.somepackage.SomeInterface$1 cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
I've tried this from Maven on both 2.5.2-01 and 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT of groovy-eclipse-compiler. I've also checked out groovy-eclipse-compiler from svn and built but it fails with the same error.
Hi Peter,
Can you maybe give me a complete failing project that shows this problem? The code above is missing SomeOtherGroovyObject and SomeGroovyObject - but even when I supply stub implementations of them, the setup() method shows a problem:
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: SomeTestClass.groovy: 13: unexpected token: return @ line 13, column 5. return new SomeGroovyObject()
I dont get as far as a resolution error.

February 15, 2013 Superpowers
Everyone has at least one superpower. Something they can do exceptionally well. Some people are good listeners, others great orators. There are people that can make friends in an empty room, and those who remain loyal to their friends for life. Some people remember faces, others facts, others numbers. There are talented story tellers who work with words. Celebrated musicians who can tell stories with sounds. You don't have to be a vet to have a strong connection with animals, or a farmer to have a strong connection with the land. Degrees and titles rarely mark the presence of a true superpower. There are chefs among us that know there way around any kitchen, and sailors who have always felt at home on the sea. Within any sized group you will find determined athletes with great physical strength, creative artists with powerful imaginations, and curious scholars who explore the unknown. Most people have a mix of natural abilities, but the gifts we call superpowers often are tempered through training and experience. That is the case for me. My superpowers come as the result of a disease. I am legally blind.
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) or Leber optic atrophy is a mitochondrially inherited (mother to all offspring) degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons that leads to an acute or subacute loss of central vision; this affects predominantly young adult males.
I was diagnosed with LHON when I was in the fourth grade. I had a problem reading the blackboard that could not be corrected with eye glasses. There is no cure. Over the years my condition has worsened with two sharp declines, but has now stabilized. It was frightening as a kid, not knowing if I would wake up blind the next day. I can not drive. I have a hard time identifying people across a room, reading printed signs, or deciphering common facial gestures. I do not have an issue walking into people, furniture, buildings, or walls. HD video, and Retina displays do nothing for me. If I can get close enough, I can read surprisingly small print in a pinch, but in the real world getting uncomfortably close to books, menus, and name badges is not very practical. The vision in my good eye can be measured at a visual acuity of less than 20/300, but often wanders from day to day. On some days I can see a little better, on other days a little worse. I used to start each morning looking at a consistent shape to predict how that days vision would be. I learned to cope with an inconsistent primary sense, by relying more on my secondary senses to get by. This increased perception has given me a better awareness of my surroundings, and helped temper some of my natural abilities into superpowers.
When it comes to superpowers I am gifted. I have three. LHON might have taken some of my vision, but in return it left me with heightened abilities I wouldn't easily trade for the chance to drive a car, or read a classroom blackboard.
I was one of those students that didn't have to study for class. I can remember things about my childhood that were never captured as pictures, or told to me in stories. Over the years I feel my memory has only gotten stronger. I am especially good at recalling things that I have read aloud or that were spoken to me by someone else. I use my heightened sense of memory to navigate a world I cannot always see. Creating 3D maps in my head, because I am unable to read road signs. Of remembering the next step in a computer operation without seeing the screen. My heightened memory, combined with refined problem solving skills has made me good at my job in IT.
I would not consider myself a good listener, but when I want to, I can often hear things other people miss. I depend on my hearing so much that loud environments make me feel uncomfortable. I was never been a fan of crowded bars, or live concerts. Because my eyes are easily strained reading long passages I choose to absorb most books by listening at high speed. I can listen to most podcasts at 3x speed1:, and most audiobooks at 4x speed or greater. People ask me if speed takes away from reading, but if you have been listening to audio books as long as I have, you start to think everyone else is speaking in slow motion.
Public Speaking
As a child I was shy of social situations. I had a hard time reading people's facial expressions because I can not see their faces clearly. I later learned to overcome this fear. By relying on my heightened memory I can recite long passages with ease, and by not being able to see my audience's faces I can proceed without the fear of judgement. A clouded vision has its advantages. I can stare someone straight in the eyes for prolonged periods of time without flinching. A powerful parlor trick that puts people on edge during tough negotiations.
My visual disability affects how I live. It forces me to live in the city, because I must ride public transportation. It gives me social anxiety, because I have a hard time reading people's faces. It changes how I navigate the world, because I cannot read posted signs or menus. But being legally blind also has its own superpowers. And I am blessed with the extra ordinary abilities I have developed in response to my disability. I would be interested to hear what superpowers you feel you have. How they have helped you live your life, and how you have encouraged their growth from natural talents, to extraordinary abilities.
Unless I am listening to Merlin Mann. ↩

Say hello to your 2013 1st round draft pick
Posted 12 November 2012 - 08:47 PM
Posted 12 November 2012 - 09:02 PM
The vast majority of drafts do not have one of every type of these players immediately apparent. You have to weigh your options as well. If it's not a dire need, you have to think if the player is so talented that it makes up for it. Here's what you shouldn't be drafting in the top 5:
Runningback: I don't care how good the prospect is. They are huge injury risks, and one blown out knee away from losing their effectiveness
OG/C: you don't need generational talent playing there
TE: the last guy you could've made a case for was Vernon Davis but for the most part none of the TEs available are top 5 talents
Linebackers that are not outstanding pass rushers: Von Miller was worth that 2nd overall pick. Kuechly isn't worth a 2nd overall pick. A linebacker is more lethal and useful if he is a threat to get to the QB on every single drop back.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 09:14 PM
Like I just said, all of that information is in my original post. I'm at work and I don't have time to play entertain Chuck right now.
If you think Gross is still capable of playing in this league after sunday, and that a stud like Joeckel wouldn't be an upgrade, then I'm sorry you just aren't smart enough to have a conversation with me and I will not waste my time.
So Gross' worst game like since when? When? And people like you are calling for his head. I gurantees you he will rebound against a pretty good TB D Sunday. Then what? It was only the Bucs and he has to go? Gross been the most solid player on the OLINE this year.

Chuck you are no fun to talk football with. It's your way or nothing else. You don't really understand the draft and the concept of picking in the top 5 like we'll be doing. Read Mister Loves post above, it explains it perfectly.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 06:13 AM
Byrd feels the safety spot:
Melton & Dorsey DT spots along with getting one in the 1st or 2nd RDS
Norman I think will turn into a stud,resign Captain,bring in Jammer,Shields,Florence whoever is cheapest.Use one of are picks via trade to get another CB for the future.Go after the Honey Badger around RD 4 or 5.
We literally could hit on all of are needs this year through what I think is a deep draft defensively & though FA.

Make standard B1 coverage available for all Singaporeans
Adding B1 layer to MediShield Life insurance will cater to rising expectations
Published on Jun 29, 2014 12:05 PM
Last December, I spent a Saturday afternoon closeted in a room with about 30 other Singaporeans talking about a subject very close to our hearts and wallets: health-care cost.
In particular, the review of MediShield Life, the improved national health insurance plan that offers coverage to all, including those with pre-existing medical conditions, and for life.
I cover such discussions on public issues all the time as a journalist. But this time, I signed up as a citizen because I wanted to give views on a specific area: allowing people with pre-existing medical conditions to be covered under higher ward class plans.
The proposed new MediShield Life offers universal coverage - but for B2 and C class wards only.

Background story
Need for bolder move
I wish the committee had been bolder and taken a firm position. Top choice would be if it had said MediShield Life should offer a B1 plan run by the Government. If that's too difficult to administer, it could have stated categorically that every Singaporean should be assured of coverage under its standard B1 plan. This would put the onus on insurers and the Government to work together to come up with premium tables that make sense actuarially and also ethically.

Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White caught 8-of-12 targets for 104 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers.
White was about the only Falcons' player show up Sunday, as Carolina dominated from the onset to win the NFC South title. The veteran wideout finished under 1,000 yards receiving for the second straight season, although he was more productive and saw more volume this year, grabbing 80-of-125 targets for 921 yards and seven touchdowns. Even with Julio Jones around, White remains a reliable, albeit unspectacular option, especially in PPR formats.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
White got a full practice under his belt Friday and should be close to full strength for Sunday's winner-take-all NFC South battle. Carolina's secondary has been playing very well, but White was able to rack up 75 yards and a score in their Week 11 meeting.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Albert Breer of NFL Network reports.
White's health has steadily improved throughout the week, and it appears he is good to go for Sunday's de facto NFC South title game against the Panthers. White tallied eight receptions, 75 yards, and a touchdown on 12 targets last time the Falcons square off against the Panthers in Week 11.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, the Falcons' official site reports.
After sitting out Wednesday, White's return included a cap in practice reps but ultimately lays the groundwork for active status Sunday against the Panthers, who have given up 12.3 YPC and two receiving touchdowns to wideouts in the past four contests.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
It remains to be seen in what capacity White practiced, but his presence in drills forecasts active status for Sunday's game versus the Panthers. Expect his activity level to receive clarification in short order.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (ankle) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
White joined No. 1 wide receiver Julio Jones (hip/oblique) on the sideline, but their absences were likely precautionary in nature. No matter, keep an eye on White as the week draws to a close to make sure he's available Sunday against a Panthers defense that has allowed 12.3 YPC and two touchdown grabs to wideouts in the past four contests.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (knee) had six catches on a team-high nine targets for 55 yards during Sunday's win over New Orleans.
White has now failed to reach even 60 receiving yards in three consecutive games, though he did have touchdowns in the two games prior to Sunday's. The return of Julio Jones from a hip injury didn't diminish White's targets, as it was Harry Douglas who saw a bigger reduction in opportunities. Up next is a Week 17 matchup against the Panthers, with the winner taking home the NFC South title. White had eight catches on 12 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown at Carolina back in Week 11.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
White was listed as probable for the game after practicing fully Friday, and he could take on big load against the Saints, as Julio Jones is active but still dealing with a hip injury that has kept him from practicing for the last two weeks.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
White missed Wednesday's practice, but that was evidently just for rest purposes. He practiced Thursday and Friday, logging a full practice Friday. He's a strong fantasy wideout this week with Julio Jones (hip) highly questionable after sitting out all of this week's practices.
Roddy White WR ATL 5 months ago
White (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
After a no-show Wednesday, White appears to be easing into the week of prep. However, he hasn't been listed with a knee injury since early in the current campaign, allowing clouds to enter the scene. If his status is confirmed entering the weekend, he'll likely act as the top wide receiver for Matt Ryan due to Julio Jones' lingering hip issue.

A War We Didn't Want
Israel takes no joy in another round of hostilities with Hamas in Gaza, but it is a fight born of necessity.
- By Michael Herzog<p> Michael Herzog is a retired Israel Defense Forces brigadier general and a Milton Fine international fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He served as chief of staff and senior military advisor to four Israeli ministers of defense and has participated in nearly all of Israel's negotiations with the Palestinians since 1993. </p>
Ever since Israel unilaterally evacuated Gaza in 2005, Israelis often say that while Israel left Gaza, Gaza never left Israel. I was reminded of this as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) undertakes yet another ground operation to stop the firing of rockets into Israel. For 10 days prior to the incursion, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups in Gaza fired some 1,400 rockets all over the country, driving millions of Israelis into bomb shelters. Israel tried to stop the rockets through airstrikes, but when Hamas continued to fire and rejected an Egyptian cease-fire proposal, Israel was left with little choice other than a ground operation.
Israel's decision-makers were evidently reluctant to send ground troops. They would have much preferred to achieve their stated goal — a long, durable cease-fire — using airstrikes alone. With the Iron Dome rocket-interception system scoring an amazing success rate of about 90 percent, they could afford to give prolonged targeted airstrikes a chance to give way to a mediated cease-fire. The government sustained accusations by some in Israel of hesitancy, yet it remained clear-eyed about the challenge.
Gaza is a densely populated area, with 1.7 million people living in an area of 139 square miles. It is highly militarized, with thousands of rockets and production and storage facilities — some courtesy of Iran. To make things worse, Hamas purposely nests its military capabilities inside civilian facilities — the U.N. Relief and Works Agency just announced the discovery of 20 rockets in one of its schools — and in an intricate web of underground tunnels and bunkers beneath urban areas. Israel did not seek this confrontation, nor does it desire to be drawn into Gaza while facing other strategic challenges in an unstable, hostile environment and with a delicate standing regionally and internationally.
So why did Israel go in after all? Because airstrikes were proving insufficient to pressure Hamas to agree and abide by a lasting cease-fire. Motivating Hamas to do so requires a significant degradation of its military capabilities — more than can be achieved from the air.
Israel estimates that Palestinian armed factions have so far lost about half of their rockets, yet still possess several thousand more. No less deadly is the threat of Hamas's tunnel network, dug from Gaza into Israeli territory with the aim of detonating explosives under Israeli towns or infiltrating to kidnap or kill citizens. In June 2006, Hamas used such a tunnel to kidnap Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, for whom Israel later traded over 1,000 Palestinian security prisoners. Hamas has also tried using tunnels in the current round of fighting — large groups of heavily armed Hamas operatives have repeatedly emerged from tunnels near Israeli villages, intending to attack them. The operatives were killed or driven back, but occasionally managed to kill a number of Israeli soldiers.
Only boots on the ground can deal effectively with these remaining capabilities. But despite the IDF's effectiveness, Israel's current ground operation does not aim to destroy Hamas. This would require the conquest of Gaza for a long period — and once Gaza's military infrastructure was dismantled, would demand an impossibly problematic exit strategy. Even if Hamas were "destroyed," Israel could face Somalia-like anarchy in Gaza, with numerous armed factions and no clear address to enforce a cease-fire.
Israel's ground operation is therefore limited, focused on targeting rocket-launching capabilities and especially the tunnels, which have become a major threat to Israel.
Lacking a technological solution that would allow it to identify an underground tunnel from afar, Israel has to rely on intelligence, good defenses, and searches on the ground to counter this threat. A number of tunnels were discovered and destroyed over the last few years — as well as nearly 20 of them during Israel's current ground operation — and their sophistication sheds some light on Hamas's financial priorities in running the economically dilapidated Gaza Strip. The biggest tunnel, for example, was over 65 feet deep and stretched for over a mile, making use of hundreds of tons of concrete and cement.
Israel's ground operation may require some time to achieve both its operational and strategic objectives. Hamas initiated this round of fighting in a bid to extricate itself from unprecedented political and financial bankruptcy. Its demands for a cease-fire therefore focus on economic and political rewards — opening border crossings, covering the salaries of its public employees (many of whom belong to its security forces), and the release of prisoners — designed to consolidate its grip on Gaza. In contrast, Israel seeks to re-establish deterrence by denying Hamas rewards for violence. Egypt's traditional mediating role has met with opposition from Hamas, which is all too aware that Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's government regards Hamas — the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood — as an enemy.
This unwanted crisis demands Israel make hard choices between unappealing options. Yet it also offers some potential opportunities. Weakening Hamas may ultimately produce a cease-fire arrangement that prevents the remilitarization of Gaza — with Egypt effectively sealing its border with the territory — and deters Hamas from using violence. Such an outcome may allow for the opening of Gaza's crossings to extensive humanitarian assistance and economic development channeled through the Palestinian Authority, to the benefit of the people of Gaza rather than Hamas.
Gaza, however, has proved itself resistant to best-case scenarios in the past. But even if the current operation does not deal a decisive blow to Hamas, in this quagmire even a long lull between rounds of fighting is a blessed respite.

Strong defense lifts Cards past St. John's
By Jim O'Connell
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK — Louisville coach Rick Pitino reeled off name after name and kept saying his players didn't play well. All those poor individual efforts from the 11th-ranked Cardinals resulted in a 73-58 victory over St. John's on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
"We did this tonight off our defense," Pitino said of the win that ended a two-game losing streak. "We played really, really hard but not really well. ... It's a product of we have missed so much practice time with injuries. We weren't sharp but the effort was awesome, like the Kentucky game, off the charts. We just haven't been executing. It will come. It's just a matter of time."
Russ Smith scored 17 points, Kyle Kuric had 15 and Gorgui Dieng added 12 for the Cardinals (13-2, 1-1 Big East), who lost to Georgetown and Kentucky last week to drop from fourth to No. 11 in the Top 25.
Louisville came into the game second in the Big East in field goal percentage defense at 36.6 percent. The Red Storm never came near that figure.
The Red Storm missed 25 of 26 shots at one point in the first half and were 5 of 35 (14.3 percent) in falling behind 29-18. They finished 18 of 64 for the game (28.1 percent).
"I think it was a combination of our defense and their shooting," Pitino said. "We did a good job on their shooters and Gorgui did a tremendous job of guarding the rim."
Dieng had nine rebounds and seven of Louisville's 10 blocks.
It wasn't as of the Cardinals were lighting up the place shooting 43.3 percent (26 of 60) for the game.
D'Angelo Harrison had 24 points for St. John's (7-7, 1-2) and fellow freshman Moe Harkless scored 12.
