Race Has Powerful Effects on Children's Perceptions of Job Status, Study Shows
Posted: June 26, 2003
Children's perceptions of job status and their own vocational interests are affected by racial segregation of the workforce according to a new study published in the May issue of Developmental Psychology, a journal published by the American Psychological Association (APA).
Dr. Rebecca S. Bigler, associate professor of psychology and Cara J. Averhart, M.A., at The University of Texas at Austin, and Dr. Linn S. Liben, professor of psychology at The Pennsylvania State University, found that although the jobs themselves were identical, children's perception of status differed depending on the race of the worker.

Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev (Russian: Ники́та Серге́евич Хрущёв? (April 17 [O.S. April 5] 1894 – September 11, 1971)[1] served as First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, following the death of Joseph Stalin, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers from 1958 to 1964. Khrushchev was responsible for the de-Stalinization of the USSR, as well as several liberal reforms ranging from agriculture to foreign policy. Khrushchev's party colleagues removed him from power in 1964, replacing him with Leonid Brezhnev.
Krushchev was born in Kalinovka. His father was the peasant Sergey Nikanorovich Khrushchev (who died in 1938 of tuberculosis); his mother was Aksiniya Ivanovna Khrushcheva. He had a sister two years his junior, Irina. In 1908, his family moved to Yuzovka.
He trained and worked as a joiner in various factories and mines. Khrushchev became involved in trade union activities in World War I and, after the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, he fought in the Red Army. He became a Party member in 1918 and worked at various management and Party positions in Donbass and Kiev.

In 1931, the government transferred Khrushchev to Moscow. He became the 1st Secretary of the Moscow City Committee (Moscow Gorkom) of VKP(b) in 1935. The Moscow city secretaryship was a traditional proving ground for rising stars in the party (cf Boris Yeltsin) and Khrushchev apparently impressed with his leadership of the Moscow Metro works.[citation needed] In 1938, he became the 1st Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine, one of the most senior regional party positions. Khrushchev became a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in Moscow in 1934 and the Politburo in 1939.
Great Patriotic War

During the Great Patriotic War (i.e., the Eastern Front of World War II), Khrushchev served as a political commissar (zampolit) with the equivalent rank of Lieutenant General.
In the months following the German invasion, in 1941, Khrushchev, as a local party leader, coordinated the defense of Ukraine but was dismissed and recalled to Moscow after surrendering Kiev. Later, he was a political commissar at the Battle of Stalingrad and was the senior political officer in the south of the Soviet Union throughout the wartime period — at Kursk, entering Kiev on liberation, and in the suppression of the Bandera nationalists of the Ukrainian Nationalist Organisation, who had earlier allied with the Nazis before fighting them in Western Ukraine.
Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev during the Great Patriotic War
In the years leading up to 1953, Khrushchev carried out Stalin's orders with uncritical obedience, earning the nickname "the Butcher of the Ukraine" in the late 1940s.[3]
Rise to power
After Joseph Stalin's death on March 5, 1953 there was a power struggle between different factions within the party. Initially Lavrenty Beria controlled much of the political realm by merging the Ministry of Internal Affairs and State security. Fearing that Beria would eventually kill them, Georgy Malenkov, Lazar Kaganovich, Vyacheslav Molotov, Nikolai Bulganin and others united under Khrushchev to denounce Beria and remove him from power. With Beria imprisoned awaiting execution (which followed in December), Malenkov was the heir apparent. Khrushchev was not nearly as powerful as he would eventually become even after his promotion. Becoming party leader on September 7 of that year, and eventually rising above his rivals, Khrushchev's leadership marked a crucial transition for the Soviet Union. He pursued a course of reform and shocked delegates to the 20th Party Congress on February 25, 1956 by making his famous Secret Speech denouncing the "cult of personality" that surrounded Stalin, though he himself played no small part in cultivating it, and accusing Stalin of crimes committed during the Great Purges. This effectively alienated Khrushchev from the more conservative elements of the Party, but he managed to defeat what he termed the Anti-Party Group after they failed in a bid to oust him from the party leadership in 1957.

In 1958, Khrushchev replaced Bulganin as prime minister and established himself as the undisputed leader of both state and party. He became Premier of the Soviet Union on March 27, 1958. Khrushchev promoted reform of the Soviet system and began to place an emphasis on the production of consumer goods rather than on heavy industry.
He sought to lower the burden of defense spending on the Soviet economy by placing a new emphasis on rocket based defense. The Soviet lead in this technology was emphasized by the success of Sputnik 1 and subsequently Yuri Gagarin's Vostok flight. However, real Soviet missile forces remained small and the price that Khrushchev paid inside the Soviet system — hostility from the armed forces — was a major contribution to his eventual removal from office.
At the same time the fear of Soviet missile forces was real enough in the West — prompting then US Senator John F. Kennedy to attack then-Vice President Richard Nixon over the missile gap in the 1960 U.S. presidential election and culminating in the stand off of the Cuban missile crisis.
Domestically, Khrushchev did not seek to roll back the collectivization of agriculture. Instead he promoted the Virgin Lands Campaign program, saying the Soviet Union could meet and surpass Western agricultural production through the application of modern techniques and the use of new crops. Initial successes here rapidly turned sour.
In 1959, during Richard Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union, Khrushchev took part in what later became known as the Kitchen Debate. Khrushchev reciprocated the visit that September, spending thirteen days in the United States. On his visit Khrushchev had two requests: to visit Disneyland and to meet John Wayne, Hollywood's top box-office draw. Due to the Cold War tension and security concerns, he was famously denied an excursion to Disneyland.
On his California visit, the Soviet leader got a show of American consumerism and the American way of life. This marked the first time a Soviet leader set foot on U.S. soil. But he was annoyed that the main event of his first day was a lunch with 300 movie stars and other celebrities and a visit to the set of the movie Can-Can at 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles, rather than an inspection of an aerospace plant.
After Khrushchev left the studio, gawkers pasted tomatoes on his limo as the doubly offended leader and his 30-car, heavily guarded caravan made its way through city streets. Local authorities would later report that a bomb was planted in a tree along the route and that a man who said he was deer hunting was arrested on suspicion of carrying concealed weapons just moments before Khrushchev's motorcade passed by a Los Angeles street.
Khrushchev declared himself offended by the chilly reception.
The Kremlin boss' new attitude towards the West as a rival instead of as an evil entity alienated Mao Zedong's People's Republic of China.The Soviet Union and the PRC, too, would later be involved in a similar "cold war" triggered by the Sino-Soviet Split in 1960.
In 1961, Khrushchev approved plans proposed by East German leader Walter Ulbricht to build the Berlin Wall, thereby reinforcing the Cold War division of Germany and Europe as a whole.

Khrushchev's personality
Khrushchev was regarded by his political enemies in the Soviet Union as boorish. He had a reputation for interrupting speakers to insult them. The Politburo accused him once of 'hare-brained scheming' — referring to his erratic policies. He regularly humiliated the Soviet nomenklatura, or ruling elite, with his gaffes. He once branded Mao, who was at odds with Khrushchev ever since the denunciation of Stalin at the 1956 Congress, an "old galosh", which was translated as "old boot". In Mandarin, the word "boot" is used to describe a prostitute or immoral woman. The Soviet leader also famously condemned his Bulgarian counterpart.
Khrushchev's blunders were partially the result of his limited formal education. Although intelligent, as even his political enemies admitted after he had defeated them, and certainly cunning, he lacked knowledge and understanding of the world outside of his direct experience and often proved easy to manipulate by hucksters who knew how to appeal to his vanity and prejudices. For example, he was a supporter of Trofim Lysenko even after the Stalin years and became convinced that the Soviet Union's agricultural crises could be solved through the planting of maize on the same scale as the United States, failing to realize that the differences in climate and soil made this inadvisable.
Khrushchev and Harold Macmillan in Moscow in 1959
Khrushchev repeatedly disrupted the proceedings in the United Nations General Assembly in September-October 1960 by pounding his fists on the desk and shouting in Russian. On September 29, 1960, Khrushchev twice interrupted a speech by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. The unflappable Macmillan famously commented over his shoulder to Frederick Boland, the Assembly President (Ireland), that if Mr Khrushchev wished to continue, he would like a translation.
The notorious shoe-banging incident occurred during a debate, on October 11, over a Russian resolution decrying colonialism. Infuriated by a statement of the Filipino delegate Lorenzo Sumulong which charged the Soviets with employing a double standard, Khrushchev accused Mr. Sumulong of being "a jerk, a stooge and a lackey of imperialism". Later Mr. Khrushchev appeared to have pulled off his right shoe and started banging it on his desk. On another occasion, Khrushchev said in reference to capitalism, "Мы вас похороним!" (My vas pokhoronim!), translated to "We will bury you". This phrase, ambiguous both in the English language and in the Russian language, was interpreted in several ways. Later, he would refer back to the comment and state, "I once got in trouble for saying, 'We will bury you'. Of course, we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you".

Khrushchev's private photo
Khrushchev's policies alienated significant sections of the Communist party leadership. Although Khruschev abandoned the physical repression of Stalin, he made frequent changes in party structures and personnel in his efforts to improve economic efficiency - especially in agriculture. Many leading cadres feared for their jobs. Similarly he alienated many in the army by directing investment to missile forces and seeking to release more manpower for economically productive tasks.
The latter contributed to his humiliation over Cuba, where his faith in missiles led him to site them in Cuba and then risk a global nuclear conflagration. Here Khruschev alienated both hardliners - who saw the Soviet retreat as a victory for the west - and doves - who saw the whole thing as adventurism played for high stakes.
His enemies learned the lessons from Khruschev's defeat of the neo-Stalinist 'Anti-Party Group' - where Khruschev had successfully appealed to the central committee over the politbureau's head. To remove their leader his enemies would have to secure the widest support in the upper echelons of the party, not simply amongst the very inner core.
Khrushchev's downfall came as a result of a conspiracy among the Party bosses, irritated by his erratic policies and cantankerous behavior, which was seen by the Party as an embarrassment on the international stage. The Communist Party accused Khrushchev of making political mistakes, such as mishandling the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, the cold war with China and disorganizing the Soviet economy, especially in the agricultural sector.
The conspirators, led by Leonid Brezhnev, Aleksandr Shelepin and the KGB chief Vladimir Semichastny, struck in October 1964, when Khrushchev was on vacation in Pitsunda, Abkhazia, Georgia. They called a special meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee and Alexi Inauri, chief of the Georgian KGB, escorted Khrushchev to Moscow. When Khrushchev arrived on October 13, the Presidium voted to remove him from his positions in the Party and in the Soviet government. A special meeting of the Central Committee was hastily convened the next day and approved the decisions of the Presidium without debate. On October 15, 1964, the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet accepted Khrushchev's resignation as the Premier of the Soviet Union.
Life in retirement
Unlike Georgy Malenkov, Vyacheslav Molotov or Lazar Kaganovich, who were removed from Party and forced to live as ordinary citizens, Khruschev remained a member of the Central Committee until 1966 and party member until his death. He received a special pension and was allowed to live in a state-owned residence. He also received a security detail. He, however, remained under KGB close watch (who also used this security detail comprising their officers) until his death.
Initially he lived under house arrest, but later resumed a more active social life (particularly with the members of the Moscow intelligentsia), but never publicly commented on the policy of his successors, focusing instead on writing his memoirs, which, despite KGB watch, were smuggled to the West.
He died of a heart attack in a hospital near his home in Moscow on September 11, 1971 and is buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow, having been denied a state funeral and interment in the Kremlin wall.

Back to all specs
In 1950 the Japanese wanted a prototype 4X4 trucks and other vehicles. In response Toyota began designing such vehicles and by January 1951 they had produced a prototype. Toyota based their design on the Bantam vehicle that had seen military action in Malaysia. At the time there were many Jeeps being driven in Japan and the Jeep came to be the symbol of the 4X4. For this reason Toyota called it's prototype the Toyota Jeep. These became the FJ40 that Americans found to be a rugged and reliable off road vehicle, but mostly unknown to the North American people is that there was another strong contender to the legend, the Mitsubishi Jeep.
The vehicle which as ultimately selected for procurement by the National Police Reserve Forces was the Willys Jeep. In 1953 Mitsubishi secured the rights to build the Willys under their own name and the Mitsubishi Jeep was born.
In the USA the Willys was built till 1965 but in Japan Mitsubishi had a good thing going so they kept the line in production till 1998.
Mitsubishi installed the first KE31 2.2L diesel engine in the Jeep in 1955 in the CJ3B, J20DC and the J30D. These little 4 cyl diesel engines put out a whopping 45 hp but the reliability was famous at the time. In 1970 the 4DR5 2.7L 4 cyl Diesel came to be installed in the J24, J24H, J36 wagon and the J44 long bed. these larger engines put out a much more useful 80 hp and moved these Jeeps down the highway at 100 km / hr or 60 mph. In 1986 the 4DR6 came to be installed in the J53 and this was a potent turbo charged 4 cyl diesel engine cranking out 100 hp and moving the Jeep down the highway at 120 km/hr. Mitsubishi found that their customers still wanted more so they added an intercooler from the factory in the J55 for an astounding 135 hp and they used this engine till production ended in 1998.
I have now driven my personal J54 hard for almost a year with no problems
what so ever. The J54 will start down to -25 C WITHOUT being plugged in.
It will cruise all day at 100 km/hr without missing a beat and will return
an amazing 30 mpg. The seats are very basic but at the same time comfortable.
I have put my J54 up against all models of Land Cruiser and held my own
on hills, in the mud, twisting down the cut lines near my home. It has the
window defrost mounted to the windshield frame. It also has the "twin stick" transfer
case. This J54 has a water tight storage box from the factory under the
drivers seat. The beautiful silver Mitsubishi has full time hubs, reverse
turn glow plugs and is the ultra tough 24V system. The passenger seat folds
up completely to give very easy access to the rear of the Jeep.
The 4DR5 will return a astounding 30 mpg in the bush or on the trail so you can wheel all weekend on just one tank of fuel. Crawl down the steepest hill or race up the nearest dune, this gutsy miniature tank can handle it all. The very sharp approach and departure angles will be the envy of all and the superb break over angle will be hard to beat in any stock 4X4. This stock J54 can run 31" tires with absolutely NO LIFT.
This is a true turn-key off road capable unit. Ready for the rugged out doors. Pick a trail and enjoy one of the best off-road vehicles ever made. The beauty of the Willy's body style coupled with the strong and reliable Japanese engineered drivetrain using the D44 out back and the D30 up front, gear to gear t/case with a 2.3 low range, 4.77 differential gearing and you are ready for the great out doors.

Fire Closes Safari Attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom Sunday
February 11, 2008
PHOTO: BigPigletFan 08/21/07
A small fire broke out on Kilimanjaro Safari at Disney's Animal Kingdom Sunday afternoon leaving one girl slightly injured and three others who requested immediate medical care after leaving the ride vehicle -- closing the ride for the rest of the day.
The fire broke up between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. near the front of a safari truck. Fire and medical vehicles were sent to the scene, but the fire was mostly out when Reedy Creek Fire District arrived according Bo Jones, Reedy Creek Fire District's assistant chief.
An engine hose failed, resulting in a fire in the engine compartment according to Disney spokeswoman Andrea Finger.
Four guests requested medical treatment for minor injuries. One woman complained of a knee injury from jumping from the truck and was sent to Celebration Health.
The attraction remained closed for the remainder of the day, which is standard Disney procedure when accidents or malfunctions occur. All Safari vehicle hoses will be inspected prior to their re-opening Monday.

Sounders goalkeeper Kasey Keller ready for his final season
SEATTLE - One of the most decorated careers in U.S. soccer history is set to come to an end this season.
But please, Kasey Keller asks, please don't make a big deal out of the fact that, when Seattle Sounders FC hosts Los Angeles tonight, the 41-year-old goalkeeper will be playing the first game of the last year of his illustrious career.
"I don't want to be a distraction and take away from what we're trying to accomplish, which is go out and have a great year regardless of it happening to be my last year," said Keller, an Olympia native who is set to begin his third year with Seattle. "We'll have plenty of time for that later. I'll have the rest of my life to reflect."
And whatever you do, don't call this Keller's farewell tour.
"Oh, God no," he said.
In fact, Keller will more readily talk about his brief foray into rapping as a teenager than make a big deal out of this season. But more on that later.
Sure his body doesn't recover as quickly as he did 20 years ago, but Keller still feels good physically and is still one of the league's best keepers. And despite his age and the fact that he is approaching the finish line, Keller insists that nothing feels different about this season.
"I don't think so," he said. "It hasn't really felt any different. I'm still doing the same thing to prepare as I would if this were my 10th season and not my 20th season and not my last. I don't think you can change what you do and who you are and how you do things just because it's your last year."
Keller went through a rough stretch last season which made him question publicly whether he should return for this final season, but bounced back with a strong second half as Seattle won 10 of its final 15 games, posting seven shutouts over that stretch. That second half of 2010 was all the proof Keller and the team needed to continue another year, and Keller is feeling as prepared for this season as any other, even if the years are taking a slight toll.
"I'd love to go back and see how I felt in '98 or something like that and see if there's a change," he said. "But there's a little bit more of a mental calm because you know you've been through it and you know what you're going to see, and you've done it for so long. Maybe that offsets being banged up or not recovering quite as quickly as you used to, but if you had told me five or six year ago that I would feel as good as I do right now at the end of the preseason, I'd be very happy with that."
And even if Keller doesn't want to play up the significance of his impeding retirement, the beginning of the end does merit a look back on what he has meant not just to Sounders FC and Major League Soccer, but to American soccer as a whole. So if Keller won't get into all of that himself as he prepares for his final season, we'll let those who know him make a big deal out of Kasey Keller's farewell season:
The longtime teammate
Separated by a year in age and the roughly 90 miles of Interstate-5 between Everett and Olympia, Chris Henderson and Keller likely wouldn't have known each other as teenagers if not for the fact both possessed exceptional soccer skills.
Henderson, now the technical director for Sounders FC, estimates he and Keller began playing together on a select regional team when Henderson, who is a year younger than Keller, was 13. The two rose through the ranks together playing on youth national teams and eventually both became mainstays on the U.S. senior national team in the 1990s. It's safe to say few people have seen Keller play more soccer than Henderson.
"He's one of the top 10 U.S. players of all time," Henderson said. "He's one of those pioneers who went oversees before other Americans and kind of opened doors for future goalies and field players. He earned his own way and proved himself. He had an amazing national team career."
Keller's played in four World Cups and has been named U.S. Soccer athlete of the year three times, a total surpassed only by Landon Donovan on the men's side. In one of U.S. soccer's biggest victories, Keller made 10 saves to preserve a 1-0 victory over Brazil in the 1998 Gold Cup — it was the first ever-win over Brazil for the Americans. Keller's performance was so impressive that Brazilian star Romario after the game told reporters it was "the greatest performance I've ever seen by a goalkeeper. ... It was an honor to be on the field with him."
Henderson was Keller's teammate for that game, as well as many other memorable ones throughout their careers, and just as he did as a teammate, Henderson can breathe a little easier on Sounders FC game days knowing Keller is in goal.
"You just knew when he's there, you aren't going to give up many goals," Henderson said. "You have a chance to win every game when he's in the net."
Of course decades of playing together means Henderson and Keller know each other well off the field too, and as much as Henderson remembers Keller for big saves, he also remembers things Keller would rather everyone forgot. Things like the fact that, for a while anyway, Keller was big into rap. And not just listening to rap music, the lanky keeper liked to bust a rhyme every now and then.
"He went through his rapper stage," Henderson said. "He had the long hair and a long leather trench coat. I remember him as a teenager just rapping songs all the time."
So was he any good?
"I don't know," Henderson said. "I don't know much about rap, so let's say yes."
As for the long hair Keller used to sport, Henderson said, "You have to remember, mullets were in back then."
Keller downplayed his attempts at rap, saying it was just something he dabbled in for a while after he went from listening to heavy metal and punk to the early rap pioneers like Public Enemy and N.W.A. As Keller explained it, as a kid growing up on an egg farm in Lacey, he was drawn to whatever was the rebellious music of the time. Alas, he concedes, it didn't take long for Keller to recognize that soccer, not gangsta rap, was his calling.
The young admirer across the pond
Since 2009, Steve Zakuani has known Keller as a respected teammate, but there was a time when a young Zakuani openly rooted against the American keeper. Growing up in London, Zakuani played for Arsenal's youth academy, so when it came time for the Gunners to face North London rival Tottenham and its American goalie, Zakuani had no love for Keller.
What Zakuani and plenty of other young European soccer players did have, however, was a healthy dose of respect for Keller, one of the few Americans at the time who had a successful career in Europe's top leagues. Keller not only played for Tottenham, but also English teams Millwall, Leicester City and Fullham, Spain's Rayo Vallecano, and Germany's Borussia Monchenglabach.
That successful career in Europe opened doors for other Americans to play oversees, particularly goalkeepers like Brad Friedel, Tim Howard, Marcus Hahnemann and Brad Guzan, and helped legitimize American soccer in the eyes of many Europeans.
"Kasey was the first (American player) I knew about personally," Zakuani said. "I remember in '96-97, I was a nine or 10-year old kid and he was playing for Leicester City. And even at Millwall earlier than that. Kasey was definitely the first one we knew of."
And years after cheering against him in the North London derby, Zakuani is even more impressed with Keller having called him a teammate over the past two seasons.
"I can't speak highly enough of him as a footballer," he said. "I remember my first training session with the Sounders, and this guy was late 30s, diving, making saves, and I'd never seen anything like that before. When you see someone like him with that kind of work rate, you have no excuse not to work. I woke up this morning and I felt achy, then you come to practice and see Kasey diving around—I'm 23, he's got a good few years on me, so it will make you work."
The coaches
As Zakuani points out, a 41-year-old still willing to outwork players half his age can be quite a motivator, which also doubles as a coach's dream. Keller plays and trains with as much fire as he ever has, and still impresses the likes of Sounders FC goalkeepers coach Tony Dutra, who has worked with Keller since 2002.
"I've said this from Day 1 to everyone — mentally he's the strongest player I've ever been around," said Dutra, noting that Keller has missed one day of training in two-plus seasons in Seattle. "His work rate is unmatched."
Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid credits Keller's leadership with helping the team succeed right away. But leadership and work ethic aside, Keller wouldn't still be playing if not for rare talent as well. Schmid, who also coached former U.S. team goalie Brad Friedel in college, counts Keller as one of the best he's seen along with Friedel.
"Certainly he's up there in the upper echelon," said Schmid. "You can't talk about the great American players without mentioning Kasey Keller. ... He's been a great pro, one of the first guys to go into Europe and really make it over there, so he opened up the door for a lot of other guys, opened up the door for some goalkeepers as well. He's played a very vital role for the development of the sport in this country."

I'm your best friend but I'm your worst enemy.

I'm just like you but I'm better than you.
I'm clumsy but I'm balanced.
I'm dumb but I'm smart.

Nut allergy passed in blood transfusion
Posted By Alison On May 2, 2007 @ In News & Research,Peanuts/Nuts Allergy | No Comments
It was reported in the UK that an 80-year old woman went into anaphylactic shock after receiving blood from a 19-year old woman with a severe peanut allergy. She ate a muffin with peanut butter in it 2 days after the blood transfusion. Doctors are now considering whether donors need to be screened for food allergies.

If the quarter million State Department cables that WikiLeaks heaved onto the Internet in 2010 and 2011 was a "megaleak," the secret-spilling group may need a new word to capture the size of its latest release: 2.4 million emails from Syrian politicians, officials, and associated companies, representing one of the group's largest document dumps yet, a collection of data the group describes as 100 times the raw size of its State Department release.
The gargantuan new release, which WikiLeaks has titled the Syria Files, was announced in an event at the London Press Club Thursday morning by Sarah Harrison, a WikiLeaks staffer and sometimes-assistant to the group's founder Julian Assange, who remains hidden in London's Ecuadorean embassy seeking asylum to avoid extradition to Sweden to face questioning for alleged sex crimes.
WikiLeaks describes the data dump as having come from 680 different domain names and 678,000 individual email addresses, with more than a million recipients. Given that broad sweep, it's difficult to imagine what sort of insider or external hacker might even have access to so many institutions: The most likely explanation may be a leak or outside data breach at one or several of Syria's Internet service providers. As usual, WikiLeaks has kept its source anonymous.
In fact, the Syria Files may be so large and varied that even WikiLeaks has little idea what it has on its hands. For now, only a few dozen of the files, dated from 2006 to the present, have been publicly released and analyzed by WikiLeaks' media partners, the Associated Press and a collection of small newspapers. WikiLeaks' Harrison kept Thursday's press conference short, reading the same statement posted to WikiLeaks' website and demonstrating a search tool the group has developed for the files, then quickly disappearing. And WikiLeaks has issued an unusual caveat with its announcement, admitting that it "in such a large collection of information, it is not possible to verify every single email at once; however, WikiLeaks and its co-publishers have done so for all initial stories to be published. We are statistically confident that the vast majority of the data are what they purport to be."
If their sheer size wasn't enough, language may be another barrier to easily sifting through the files: At least 400,000 are in Arabic and another 68,000 are in Russian.
So far only a single scoop seems to have emerged from WikiLeaks' unusually meager collection of press partners: evidence that the Italian firm Finmeccania offered its Tetra communications system to the Syrian and Iranian governments, as described by the Italian and Spanish newspapers L'Espresso and Publico.
But the opacity of the rest of the files hasn't stopped WikiLeaks and Assange from making their usual bold claims about the importance of the documents in understanding a conflict between the repressive regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad and opposition forces, a civil war that has killed thousands over the last year and a half. "The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another," the group's statement reads. It also includes a quote from Assange: "The material is embarrassing to Syria, but it is also embarrassing to Syria's opponents. It helps us not merely to criticise one group or another, but to understand their interests, actions and thoughts. It is only through understanding this conflict that we can hope to resolve it."
If resolving Syria's problems involves wading into a vat of 2.4 million emails, both WikiLeaks and the media groups it's partnered with have a daunting task ahead of them. But with so much data to work with, expect more revelations to eventually bubble to the surface.
Correction: The original version of this story called the Syria Files WikiLeaks' largest document leak yet. In fact its Stratfor release, which the group has said includes 5 million emails, may have been larger.

You couldn't be extradited because you are already in a foreign country. First you would need an exit visa. Since you would be a criminal then you couldn't get one.
Now since you can't leave, you'd need to file a request for assistance from your home land.
Since most embassies are usually bound by the host country's laws, by nobles oblige, you may be allowed to leave though.
Once you leave, as an alleged criminal in another land, you could then be formally charged and tried in absentia. Once found guilty, they always do that, then you would have to face extradition.

your are subjected to the The Law of the Country being represented by the embassy.... because Embassies are technically considered as different territories...

If you were an American and you were at the American Embassy in whatever country and you did something illegal within that embassy, then you would be subject to the laws of the USA concerning trial and punishment. This scenario holds true for any country. If it was the Chinese Embassy and you were Chinese, then you would be subject to the laws of China, and so forth.
The grounds the embassy stands on are considered to be land of the country's embassy, not the country in which it resides. The grounds of the American Embassy in whatever country is considered to be American soil. If the American Embassy is in Germany, for example, and a German citizen was on its grounds and committed a crime, then they would be subject to trial and punishment in accordance to American law.

You'd be subject to the embassy's laws.
BUT if you did something that was only a crime in your own country, you might be able to be convicted in your home country for the crime committed "abroad". It depends on the geographical extent of the law.
Example - under English law it's illegal to conspire to commit crimes in other countries, even though by definition a conspiracy needs a crime to be intended.

No. The Embassy is considered the ground (and country) of the owning country not the one in which it resides. You are subject to the laws of the Embassy's country.

It depends what crime was committed. Treason or (usually) tax evasion are prosecutable only in the country that was harmed. Theft or murder might -- depending on the respective laws -- be prosecuted in either or both countries. (Murder of a diplomat, and sometimes of any citizen, is typically a crime in the country of the diplomat/citizen's nationality; and it's also a crime where committed.)
Rape or battery or murder of a local national (for example) is probably prosecutable only in the country/state where the crime was committed.
Typical crimes committed in embassies are embezzlement and political protest involving property damage. The case of Mohammed Sacirbey http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Sacirbey , former Bosnian Ambassador to the UN (the mission was not an Embassy, but does have diplomatic status) is an example. His extradition from the USA is pending. He is a dual national of Bosnia and the USA. (A diplomat posted to Washington cannot be a US citizen but this rule seems not to apply to UN missions. The spouse of any diplomat may be a US citizen but does not get diplomatic immunity or tax exemption in that case.)
The immunity of a diplomat may be waived by his/her government to entitle the local country to prosecute: the case of Gueorgui Makharadze, is typical http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gueorgui_Makharadze (vehicular homicide by Georgian Deputy Chief of Mission to the USA, while drunk)
A better example for you might be that of Alfred Erdos, a US diplomat who murdered a colleague at the embasy in Malabo about 1970: http://www.uniset.ca/other/cs5/474F2d157.html . He was prosecuted in the US.

Technically, embassy ground is considered the soil of the nation of embassage: Canadian embassy equals Canadian soil, etc.
Why do I say technically? Embassies are to promote good relations with the host nation. If I visit the Kamanawanalean embassy and I violate Kamanawanalean law by saying something disrespectful about Harry Belafonte's "Day-O" song, they COULD adhere to the letter of the law and try enforcing it.
Doubtful, though. Remember what they're there for. They'd probably just kick you out of the embassy. Hopefully as daylight come, when you wanna go home.

Well, this time even Andy is wrong. An embassy is not, not, not part of the sovereign territory of the country it represents. Diplomatic space is defined and protected under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, especially Article 22, which states:
"The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission.
The receiving State is under a special duty to take all appropriate steps to protect the premises of the mission against any intrusion or damage and to prevent any disturbance of the peace of the mission or impairment of its dignity.
The premises of the mission, their furnishings and other property thereon and the means of transport of the mission shall be immune from search, requisition, attachment or execution. "
The Convention also protects the immunity of official representatives of the country whose embassy it is. However, the Convention says nothing about the host country being unable to prosecute its own citizens who happen to commit a crime on the premises. If the act is considered a crime only in the host country, it is still a crime and the person who committed it can be arrested and prosecuted. As you saw above, host country police may enter an embassy in order to arrest a local criminal, at the chief of mission's request: to keep thing tidy, however, they usually wait outside and nab the miscreant as he leaves, with the help and cooperation of the embassy's security officers.

United States Patent 3,492,301 2,4,6-TRISUBSTITUTED SULFONYLHYDRAZIDO- s-TRIAZINES John E. Herweh and Algirdas C. Poshkus, Lancaster, Pa., assignors to Armstrong Cork Company, Lancaster, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania No Drawing. Original application Nov. 1, 1965, Ser. No. 505,952, now Patent No. 3,374,189, dated Mar. 19, 1968. Divided and this application Oct. 17, 1967, Ser- Int. Cl. C07d 55/24 U.S. Cl. 260249.6 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A new class of sulfonylhydrazido-s-triazines of the formula NHNHSOzR C-NHNHS 02R useful as blowing agents for resinous blends. In the formula R is alkyl or where R represents a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl containing from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and wherein n is an integer from 1 to about 3.
Alkyl and arylalkylene sulfonylhydrazides may be conveniently converted to the subject compounds, 2,4,6-trisubstituted sulfonylhydrazido-s-triazines by the following reaction:
(CNCl); BRSOgNHNHg IIIHNHSOt R The reaction may be carried out in an inert nonpolar solvent such as benzene and toluene or in polar solvents which are nonreactive to both the cyanuric chloride and the sulfonylhydrazide, such as tetrahydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide or the dimethyl ether tetraethylene glycol. Reactions carried out in benzene usually involve two phases due to the insoluble nature of the starting sulfonylhydrazide, those performed in the polar solvents mentioned are homogeneous initially. In all cases heat is necessary to facilitate the reaction, care being exercised however to insure that the reaction temperatures do not exceed the decomposition temperature of the starting sulfonylhydrazide. An excess of starting sulfonylhydrazide is used to compensate for hydrazide lost due to decomposition. The reaction product is insoluble in benzene and can be isolated by filtration and, where reactions are carried out in the polar solvents, the reaction mixture must be diluted with a nonsolvent in order to bring about product separation. The completeness of the reaction may be determined by the amount of hydrogen chloride evolved.
The 2,4,6-trisubstituted sulfonylhydrazido-s-triazines of this invention are amorphous white powders soluble in dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl ether of ethylene glycol, dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol, and dilute aqueous alkali and the alkyl derivatives are soluble in alcohol. In contrast, the subject compound are insoluble in dilute mineral acids, water and common organic solvents such as benzene, and the arylalkylene derivatives are also insoluble in ancohol. Yields of the triazine derivatives are quite high.
The following examples are illustrative of specific embodiments of the present invention.
EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of 2,4,6-tributanesulfonylhydrazido-s-triazine To a stirred solution of cyanuric chloride (5,5 g., 0.03 mole) in ml. of dry benzene at 60 and under a nitrogen atmosphere was added in /2 hour a solution of butanesulfonylhydrazide (15.2 g., 0.1 mole) in 50 ml. of benzene. After approximately one hour, hydrogen chloride was detected at the condenser head, the reaction mixture became increasingly turbid as a gummy semi-solid formed. Heating of the reaction mixture was continued at 75-80 for a total heating time of about 18 hours.
The cooled reaction mixture was filtered to remove a white solid, the gelatinous filter-cake washed with ether was dried in vacuo. The dried solid (16.3 g.) melted at -175 with decomposition. Distillation of the combined benzene filtrate and ether washings at reduced pressure left 2 g. of a pale yellow viscous oil that was discarded.
The crude reaction product 16.3 g. was washed with cold water until washings were neutral. The dried water insoluble white solid (12 g.) melted at 180-184 with decomposition. Repeated recrystallization from aqueous ethanol gave material M.P. 194-197 with decomposinon.
Analysis.Calcd. for C15H33N9O5S3: C, H, N, 23.8; S, 18.1; mol. wt. 532.4. Found: C, 33.7; H, 6.2; N, 23.9; S, 18.1, mol. wt. 530 Yield: 75%
EXAMPLE 2 Preparation of 2,4,6-tribenzylsulfonylhydrazido-s-triazine Determined by Vapor Pressure Osmometry.
3 solid, M.P. l05107 C. after one recrystallization from 95% ethanol. The solid was identified as benzyl benzylthiosulfonate by melting point and infrared absorption spectra.
The major reaction product (17.04 g.) was washed repeatedly with water until neutral to litmus. The dried aqueous insolubles (16 g.) melted at 230232 with decomposition. An analytical sample was prepared by repeatedly dissolving the reaction product in dirnethylformamide (approximately 20 ml.) and adding the filtered solution to excess (200 ml.) cold water. Material treated in this manner melted at 2325-2335" C. with decomposition.
Analysis.-Calcd. for C24H21'N9O6S3I C, H, N, 20.0; S, 15.2; mol. wt. 634.5. Found: C, 45.5; H, 4.3; N, 20.0; S, 15.1; mol. wt. 640.8 Yield: 100%.
The following table illustrates the yield of gaseous decomposition products for both the n-butyl and benzyl derivatives prepared in accordance with the examples. The s-triazine derivatives were decomposed in Nujol, a heavy refined paraffin oil (hydrocarbon), by slurrying the compound in 10 ml. of oil.
TABLE Vol. of gas (ml. per Dec. temp, Millimols of millimole) at Half-life R= C. blowing agent a: time (min.) to .5 (min.)
n-Butyl 194 0. 38 61 97 206. 5 0. 37 72 34 Bonzyl 236 0. 32 75 3. 2 252 0. 32 78 0. 8
EXAMPLE 3 Plastisol formulation Ingredient: Weight (grams) Polyvinyl chloride homopolymer resin having a specific gravity of 1.28 and a weight based on gel permeation chromatography of 55,400
(number average) and 91,400 (weight average) 100 Dioctylphthalate 55 Epoxidized soy bean oil 5 Liquid calcium, zinc octoate stabilizer 6 2,4,6-tri-n-butanesulfonylhydrazido-s-triazine 6 Determined by Vapor Pressure Osmometry.
A layer of the thoroughly mixed plastisol formulation was formed on a release paper and fused and expanded for 5 minutes at 385 F. in a convection oven. This resulted in a fine celled flexible polyvinyl chloride foam having an average density of 36 pounds per cubic foot. The density of the plastisol formulation prior to fusion was 73.8 pounds per cubic foot.
The preferred percentage range for blowing agent is between about 3% to 15% by weight, based on the organic resin component.
We claim:
1. A compound having the formula:
NHNHSOzR where R represents a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl containing from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and wherein n is an integer from 1 to 3.
2. 2,4,6-tri-n-butanesulfonylhydrazido-s-triazine. 3. 2,4,6-tribenzylsulfonylhydrazido-s-triazine.

It is Time To Re-think Procurement!
It is our mission to get more sellers exercised (maybe even excited) about trends in procurement. But that requires a fundamental re-think of procurement and its role. The message is; 'if you think procurement doesn't matter think again!'
Think Again!
We get excited even worked-up about the trends in procurement and the broader supply chain. And from our vantage point in researching the industry there is much to be excited about. However, not everybody gets it.
The term 'procurement' is problematic. For most salespeople it is simply a word that is hard to get excited about. It creates the wrong – all to limited – associations, including:
- 'The administrative function associated with buying…'
- 'Paperwork, form-filling and bureaucracy…'
- 'A more rigid / procedure led approach to buying…'
- 'The buying of lower value items / supplies…'
- 'Governmental/public sector buying…'
- 'Big organisations and how they seek to control spending…'
- 'The people who are brought in at the end to hard-ball suppliers over price'.
As a result the implications for sellers of important trends in procurement are easily obscured.
Do you have an out-of-date view of procurement?
Out-of-date views of procurement can lead to mistaken beliefs about the role of procurement. That can result in sellers being unprepared for imminent changes in buying behaviour and strategy of their customers and prospects.
Think Great Companies!
Sellers need to ditch out-of-date misconceptions of the role and scope of procurement. It is time to re-think procurement!
To re-think procurement, think of the companies that you love. What is it that makes companies, such as those shown below, great?
Every day when we buy from these customers we pay tribute to the new role of procurement and the broader supply chain function. It is just we don't normally think of it that way!
OK, we buy from these companies on the basis of price, speed of delivery and product range, but what we are really buying is great procurement!
It is best practice procurement and supply chain management that enables Walmart, Apple, Dell and others to meet our increasing demands as customers and to stay at the top of their industries. The companies you love, love procurement!
Think Consumerism!
As consumers we take for granted the range and variety of goods that are now available to us. We also take for granted the ease with which we can order online a product that is made half way around the world, can be tailored to our specific requirements and swiftly delivered to our home.
We also take for granted the speed at which new product models are released and the pace of technological advance. However, all these are made possible by the interplay of procurement and the broader supply chain management function.
Think Shareholder Value
But if we love these companies, so do investors and the stock market. It is no accident that these companies are among the most successful in their industries. Best-in class procurement doesn't just deliver increased profits from operations, but also a higher return on shareholder's funds. Procurement matters because it delivers superior business performance.
Best in class procurement and supply chain management has put these companies at the zeneth of the consumer driven society. They have changed the world and their approach to the new procurement function that is at the hearth of that change.
Have you been underestimating the importance of the procurement function?
Think New Economic Order!
Procurement is the talisman for a new era of global commerce. From the rise of India and China as super powers, to the emergence of online super retailers, such as; eBay to Amazon.
Procurement is the poster child for a fundamental shift in terms of not just how, but where; the world does business. One of the most unmistakable trends are globalization and in particular the rise of outsourcing to low cost economies.
Think Globalization!
Procurement reflects the new shape and structure of the corporation. From vertical to horizontal integration and international to global expansion. Take the Ford Corporation – it once owned the steel mills and rubber plants needed to supply its car manufacturing plans. But such a vertical mammoth is now inconceivable. Today's large corporations build and manage supply chains, rather than factories.
Modern procurement is challenged with the task of orchestrating thousand's of tier one suppliers and perhaps tens of thousands of tier 2, tier 3 and raw material suppliers located around globe.
Think Supply Chain!
Procurement is morphing into Supply Chain Management – perhaps it will becomen the ultimate source of competitive advantage for modern business. The most exciting companies of the past decade – Apple, Dell and Amazon to name just a few – have all had supply chain management at their core. Indeed, they could not have succeeded without it.
So, when you think 'procurement', think again – it's Procurement + Supply Chain Management (PSCM).
Think Implications For Sellers
The word 'Procurement' is just a convenient label for a wide range of trends at a micro level in the enterprise, as well as at broader macro level in the marketplace generally. These trends (many of which you will see listed here) will impact on many companies including yours.
Now that you have re-thought procurement and its role, isn't it time to pay more attention to trends in procurement and to start preparing now.

He's not a typical villain in that his ideology isn't fixed – he readily turns against the SS to assist the Basterds in their assassination plot when it benefits him – and it's impossible to predict his next move, but the real joy of Landa comes simply from listening to him speak. 17 of 20 Previous Next

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- A fixture at Sunset Boulevards Comedy Store in Hollywood, comedian Thomas Ward is already bursting into the national spotlight with his portrayal of Cliff Huxtable in the soon to be released porn movie ''Not the Cosbys XXX''.
Directed by Will Ryder, the interracial sex comedy is a hot topic on entertainment and news blog sites and is poised to eclipse the sales of porns biggest parody movie not the Bradys XXX when the DVD hits stores next week. All of this is a little bit shocking to a guy who seemed content to quietly write movie scripts and hone his skills as a comedian.
''I didnt ask for all of this,'' Ward said during an interview at a popular eatery on Melrose Avenue. ''When I first found out that they were making a porn spoof of the Cosby Show I was like thats totally crazy,'' he said. ''But a friend of mine convinced me I should audition and when I got the role I had an entirely new appreciation of porn.''
Ryder said of his star, ''Everybodys asking how we found this guy. I mean his impersonation is so incredible that this just might be the greatest porn parody ever.'' X-Play and their DVD distribution partner LFP Video is preparing for record-breaking opening sales numbers and if you look at YouTube as a prognosticator of future sales, 200,000 views in just a few weeks bodes well for how this adult movie will perform. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2nZUn4t7nE
Ward was a comedian in his hometown Detroit when he decided to make his fame and fortune in Hollywood. His improve group the Otha Level made a really big initial splash on a number of TV shows which resulted in a production deal with Will Smiths Overbrook Entertainment but soon that fell flat.
''We were killin it and things looked great but as many Hollywood stories go, reality often bites you in the ass,'' Ward lamented. Sidetracked but not defeated, Ward continued to perform with his cast-mates and seriously worked at perfecting his comedic craft by hitting the road and appearing on TV shows like the Def Comedy Jam.
Currently writing and working his standup routine Ward has found time to become a filmmaker albeit not of the porn variety. ''Ironically, the first script that I wrote in early 2000 is about a guy trying to get into porn,'' he said with his contagious laugh. Its about this dude who is a classically trained actor just fucking around making some big mistakes and gets hooked up with a girl who really makes things happen. Now I find myself in a big porno just like dude so be careful what you ask for because you might just get it,'' he joked.
Joking is a way of life for Ward and enjoying the LA lifestyle and all the beautiful women in the city is something this thirty-something appreciates. ''I love the girls with the big butts like Flower Tucci and the MILFs. Im a MILF- lover. If shes got a big fat juicy ass, Ive probably dug her before. I dig Alexis Texas and some of those hot girls.''
Ward started watching porn in the old days and the first chick he remembers jerking off to was from Flesh Dance with John Leslie, Ron Jeremy and Rachel Ashley in 1983. ''That was some good stuff back then,'' he reminisced.
Little did he predict that he would be presenting an award at one of the industrys biggest porn movie award shows when he took the stage with Sunny Lane at the recent XRCO Awards in Hollywood. ''That was so cool being in front of all of those porn people and watching them do their thing. I really had a great time,'' he said.
With Not The Cosbys XXX hitting stores in a week, Ward has never met Bill Cosby but has serious respect for the legend. ''Hes done his thing for decades and he stays up on stage for hours and that really takes stamina. He is an icon but I never really watched the Cosby Show growing up but I think shows like 227 were more like the type of family I knew. Everybody was just working hard to survive but I respect what the Cosby TV show stood for,'' he concluded.
Thomas Ward is amused by the wide range of comments that Not The Cosbys XXX are generating coast-to-coast. ''This is not the end-all be-all, its just a very funny porno with hot girls and we dont mean to hurt anybodys feelings. I really think you will enjoy this movie.''
Check out Thomas Ward as Cliff and the entire family in this G-rated YouTube trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2nZUn4t7nE
In what many are predicting will become the biggest interracial adult movie ever, the comedy stars a fantastic cast including Misty Stone, Monica Foster, Melody Nakai, Nina Devon, Cassidy Clay, Jenny Hendrix, Sarah Vandella, Tori Black, Lana Violet, Jaelyn Fox, Tyler Knight, Tee Reel, Danny Mountain, Scott Lyons, Dick James, Jay Ashley and Thomas Ward as Cliff.
''This was just like making a TV show,'' he sighed. Ward is available for interviews for print, radio or video outlets. Members of the press can contact All Media Play to set something up with one of the funniest guy around. ''This guy is the best interview in town,'' Ryder remarked. ''I really enjoy doing interviews and I can clean it up when Im on the radio,'' Ward jested.
Not the Cosbys XXX will come in a special 2-disc collectors edition and contain 10 hours of footage including 10 behind-the-scenes sections, cast commentary and 3 bonus sex scenes from other X-Play hit comedies. Youve heard of must-see TV? Well this is must-see porn and Thomas Ward is funny as hell and somebody to check out.
Ask your favorite store to stock up on Not The Cosbys XXX. In stores June 2nd.

EARLY BIRD: Waking up with the Ravens on Wednesday, as they get back to practice.
Two-minute topic: Can the Ravens offensive line protect Joe Flacco from Bills defensive end Mario Williams?
OWINGS MILLS – Williams is tied for second in the NFL with 4½ sacks. Flacco has been sacked eight times in three games.
Does that mean trouble for the Ravens on Sunday? Coach John Harbaugh has confidence Flacco will have time to throw, based on what he has seen from the offensive line so far.
"I would say the offensive line has been excellent with the pass blocking," Harbaugh said. "When you've got a young center (Gino Gradkowski) in there and you've got a really young left guard (Kelechi Osemele) in there, and you're working those guys in, you want to make sure you can protect your quarterback. It's gotten better week after week. We've gone against some really good pass-rush fronts, and I think Joe (Flacco) feels like he's had some pretty good opportunities to look downfield and go through his progression."
The Broncos sacked Flacco four times in the opener, but he was sacked just twice against the Browns and Texans respectively. The Ravens are still looking for a consistent offensive performance from start to finish. Making sure Flacco has time to throw Sunday would be a good place to start.
Morning thought: "You've got to get off the field on third down and we did that. Hopefully that's something we'll continue to be successful at."
Haloti Ngata, Ravens defensive tackle, after Sunday's win against the Texans.

VIDEO | Silva Wants GSP Next Says Manager | UFC NEWS
"At the end of the day, GSP is the greatest welterweight of all time. People argue back and forth who the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in the world is. Some people say it's Anderson, some people say it's Georges St-Pierre. So I think the way to settle it is to do a catch weight at 177 1/2, right down the middle, and see what happens. I think it'll be a fight that the fans want to see and it'll be a great fight."
21 Responses to "VIDEO | Silva Wants GSP Next Says Manager | UFC NEWS"
test comment
totally agree, GSP Silva was the fight everybody wanted to see before the rise of JBJ, Jones is a different generation then silva and GSP,lets see the two legends duke it out and after SIlva wins, JBJ can be his greatest and final test if he feels like taking it on, if not then god bless him still
Yup +1
that weight is key… 177.5 is a WAY different fight than them both at 185, please let this happen baby jesus
If Carlos Condit beats Georges St Pierre no1 will want this fight.
I actually ran out of things to say about this topic cause they always put up forums about this fight.As a fight fan I would love to see it,but it's not FU*KING happening.Give it up already.
Fight of the century. I believe it would go down to who can win standing because lets be honest Anderson is the best fighter ever and part of thar is because he knows how to get out of sticky situations and GSP is great on his back too. So it will be a brawl.
I don't see gsp taking this fight. How about Silva and JBJ at 195??
The one thing that i find interesting is the timing of all this talk from silva's camp in regards to fighting GSP. They have never been this vocal about this super fight before,, and now GSP is returning from almost 2 years on the bench injured. They want this this fight now because they obviously think its their best chance to beat him, despite the fact that GSP is brilliant and that he is always in great shape i firmly believe there is going to be ring rust,,,, there is no substitute for being an active fighter.
Funny how he brushes off and avoids answering "maybe jon jones" ahahaha
Gsp vs silvs will happen, condit doesn't have a prayer. Speaking of prayer, gsp will lay n pray his way to victory against both. Jbj is great, he is not of liddell or coutour status quite yet. Even with that reach chuck would decapitate him, randy would g n p his ass to death.
LOL.. Silva has the height, power, and speed advantage. GSP is not gonna have a chance to do any lay n pray.. Silva by however he wants to win..
if anderson wants that fight that bad… cut ..gsp dont want the silva fight ..it shows that anderson thinks gsp is that good!!! its not fare anderson knows how finsh with one hit might as well do some bruce lee shit and put 4 lw guys against him at the same time bet anderson wins
Really? What people are arguing whether silva or gsp is the best pound for pound? Maybe 2-3 years ago. He wants gsp because he knows he will win with minimal damage and take home a big paycheck. Weak!!!
First of all Anderson is fucking scared for jones and the whole world knows it that is why they keep calling out the smaller GSP cause they think Anderson will kill GSP cause he is smaller !!!
Anderson is a scared of Jon jones end of fucking story!!!
How about a Jones/Silva at 195? You think your boy Jones can make 195? Silva/GSP would be at a 177.5 catchweight. Can Jones make 195? I think not, he is one of the biggest at LHW and now he's fighting 185ers that Silva already stomped on(Vitor Chael). You all looove Jon Jones, but recognize he has some pillow punches just like Chael, his most effective strike is that kick to the knee. smh…Its like everyone on this site became a UFC fan last year.
Sorry, but you are wrong. Jones has fought and finished the whos who in LHW. He didn't want ot fight Sonnen, didn't think he deserved a title shot and everyone bashed him for not taking the fight. I like GSP, one of my favorite fighters, but Silva will destroy him, thats why Silva wants this fight! Great pay day and easy fight. Silva has fought at LHW plenty of times and has done great! Only makes sense to for Bones! Or if that can't happen Rashad has offered to drop to 185 to fight Silva, make that happen!! Both of those fights is better for the fans as far as it could go either way then GSP. Unfair fight for GSP!!
Not sure Anderson is scared, but he must know that is a fight he could lose so he's going for the easier fight. Personally, I'd like to see GSP vs Diaz and I hope GSP asks for that fight and doesn't get sucked into a fight with Anderson… Whats Anderson gonna do when and if Rashad drops down to 185? Not that Rashad is on the same level as Jones, but he would be the toughest most deserving of a shot at the title! Is Silva gonna try and turn down that too? And if they do fight and he destroys Rashad, how can he not go for the LHW title other than he doesnt want to lose?
GSP will be at a hugh size disadvantage but a crazy style advantage. Also GSP is the most game plan savvy fighter ever. Still with silva it's 1 punch and he is stupid accurate I think the size is too big an obstacle in the end. Not that I think the spider is better quite contrary I think GSP is the best but no one is good enough to avoid that kind of disadvantage for 5 rounds.
silva pwns both gsp and JBJ
