Abstract: This paper starts from the premise that all forms of socio-economic behaviour are motivated and underpinned by values of one kind or another. The study of culture is thus a study of the values that constitute that culture. In their plural form, values constitute our socio-cultural beliefs and moral principles. However, in its singular form, value relates to economic utility, price and worth. The aim of this working paper is to examine the relation between economic and cultural values which, it is argued, constitute a field of values that are (re)produced, negotiated and transacted in the context of creative products. This field consists of technical, affective, social, situational, appreciative and functional values. Together these create a qualitative symbolic exchange value which is often then exchanged for a quantitative economic value. The paper outlines how each of these values works and interacts with other values in the context of creative industries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7971

Abstract: In the summary of the project as well as in the overall description for the SUCCESS project it is stated, that 'benchmarking of past and ongoing collaborations' serve as a tool to develop new and improved models of governance for large integrated projects. The reference to benchmarking as key tool to develop new models makes it necessary to have a closer look into the pro and cons for using this specific tool. A number of recent studies of science policy in Europe have taken a closer look into the system of benchmarking in this field. These studies, discussed later in this paper, have pointed to the fact that a reliable benchmarking exercise demand a strict data input very often impossible in science and innovation collaborations because of the very nature of these endeavours, the open and risky character of new knowledge as well as the unpredictable time. If we include the fact that collaborations all have their own history and do not represent some kind of representativeness of a science or R&D field but the opposite, are selected by pre-knowledge, a number of serious question to the use of a traditional benchmarking approach has been announced. What we can use from the benchmarking procedures is the idea of a systematic recording of knowledge of best practices analysed and interpreted by expert groups. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6391

Ooi, Can-Seng (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Intercultural management broadly refers to the handling of cultural differences in businesses and organizations. Although culture develops in all social groups, such as in firms, schools and neighbourhoods, intercultural management often refers to cultures framed within national and ethnic settings. Language, religion, family relations, work ethics and daily living are some aspects of culture. These cultural manifestations reflect the community's world views, norms and values, and shape social behaviours and practices of members in the community. The idea of "intercultural management" also suggests that cultural differences are sources of miscommunication and misunderstandings. So in international business, intercultural management is a daily activity that affects different operations, including localization of services in a foreign market, offering local hospitality to foreign tourists, adapting one's negotiation style to overseas business partners, communication in an international work environment and devising appropriate human resource services in overseas subsidiaries.

Towards a Multitheoretical Research FrameworkSjöklint, Mimmi; Constantiou, Ioanna D.; Trier, Matthias (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The new technological enhancements and the accessibility to varieties of online applications, enable users to collect personal data and perform self-evaluation through test, comparison and experimentation. The sparked interest in numbers and numbers as self-representative visualisations is prominent in social networking sites, which are the empirical setting for the present study. This paper sets out to establish a multi-theoretical framework which enables the investigation of emerging phenomena of the role of numbers in social networking sites. The proposed framework rests on three theoretical pillars: self-determination theory, heuristic decision making and behavioural economics. A discussion departs from these convictions to investigate user reactions and behaviour when faced with numerical representations in the SNS. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8820

Resultater fra en spørgeskema-undersøgelseFoss, Nikolai J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Baseret på et sample af de 1000 største danske virksomheder undersøges forekomsten af nye arbejdsorganiseringsformer i dansk erhvervsliv. Endvidere undersøges det, hvilke virksomheder der typisk implementerer de nye måder at organisere arbejdet på. Det vises at det primært er virksomheder i konkurrenceprægede og vidensintensive brancher der gør dette. De nye arbejdsorganiseringsformer implementeres i bundter. Det indikerer at de nye organiseringsformer er komplementære. Deres forekomst er endelig tæt korreleret med forekomsten af resultatløn. Det tyder på at "kontrol"- og "kommitment"- modeller for HRM ikke er modsatrettede, men tværtimod komplementære. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6350

En forskningsberetning om mangestemmige resultater fra laboratorierHviid, Pernille; Plotnikof, Mie (København, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne rapport handler om forandringer i den kommunale styring og organisering af dagtilbudsområdet – og om forskellige aktørers arbejde med lokale forandringsprojekter forskellige steder i dagtilbudsafdelingerne. Projektarbejdet, der her berettes om, handler både om aktuelle udfordringer i aktørernes egne arbejdssituationer og praksisser og om problemstillinger, der går på tværs af de institutionelle og kommunale organiseringer og styringsrelationer indenfor dagtilbud. Disse er fx nationale standardiseringstiltag, faglige kvalitetsmålinger, samt strammere økonomistyring overfor kvalitetsudvikling og -sikring. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8555

Abstract: Nonsense syllable speech materials are often used when investigating speech perception in quiet and under adverse conditions. The main advantage of using nonsense syllables over words and sentences is that the acoustic as well as the linguistic context is minimal. This paper presents three anechoic recordings of 13 male and 13 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with the neutral intonation contour for Danish (in total 15210 syllables). The authors compared and ranked groups of three recordings. These three recording had the same talker and had identical phonetic content. The syllables were ranked according to the general "appropriateness" and consistency, i.e., prototypical production of the consonant-vowel (CV) with respect to applicability in speech perceptual studies. The results were compared to results of an automatic method based on acoustic measures. The two novel ideas are 1) to devise an automated method for evaluating "appropriateness" of CVs and 2) to develop a Danish CV-material annotated with an objective measure of "appropriateness" for each recorded CV. The latter would potentially render more CV's appropriate for perceptual studies. Moreover, objective evaluation would make it possible to examine any perceptual effects of variability in CV production (for example how susceptible different renderings by the same talker of CV's are to background noise). To the knowledge of the authors, no such material has yet been published for any language. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8412

Abstract: One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project (FP6 IST 517590) is to integrate keyboard logging and eye-tracking data to study and anticipate the behaviour of human translators. This so-called User-Activity Data (UAD) would make it possible to empirically ground cognitive models and to validate hypotheses of human processing concepts in the data. In order to thoroughly ground a cognitive model of the user in empirical observation, two conditions must be met as a minimum. All UAD data must be fully synchronised so that data relate to a common construct. Secondly, data must be represented in a queryable form so that large volumes of data can be analysed electronically. Two programs have evolved in the Eye-to-IT project: TRANSLOG is designed to register and replay keyboard logging data, while GWM is a tool to record and replay eye-movement data. This paper reports on an attempt to synchronise and integrate the representations of both software components so that sequences of keyboard and eye-movement data can be retrieved and their interaction studied. The outcome of this effort would be the possibility to correlate eye- and keyboard activities of translators (the user model) with properties of the source and target texts and thus to uncover dependencies in the UAD.

A firm level perspecitve on internal learning and organisational behaviourGranerud, Lise (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The auto-components industry has improved its performance significantly in South Africa during the second half of the 1990's. However, it has not yet reached the level of the international competitors. The present paper suggests that a focus on the firms' internal conditions is a way to identify obstacles preventing further improvement of performance and competitiveness. Organisational behaviour has increasingly become important internationally in the understanding of firm development and learning in the recent years. This paper argues that it is crucial to take into account the behaviour of the organisation in the perception of the problems connected to the development of technology and capabilities in South African SMEs. The paper builds on the immediate findings of a qualitative case study on technological learning in two auto-components enterprises in Greater Durban, where the organisational behaviour in different ways hinders internal learning. These findings are contrasted with a third firm within the metal sector, which has a very different learning environment. The paper emphasises the importance of including the informal organisational behaviour in the understanding of how to develop the technological resources. The study investigates the physical resources, and the human and organisational resources, and relates these to the routines in the organisational behaviour, including formal and informal work practices and social relations at the shop floor in the understanding of what influence technological learning in these firms.

Rocha, Robson (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The analysis in this paper concerns how national institutions impact the implementation of occupational healthy and safety management systems (OHSMS) in different types of market economies. The main objective is to show how variation in national institutional frameworks influences the implementation of OHSMS, and thus, relative performance. There are two main conclusions. First, dominating organisational templates and co-operative industrial relations structures allow firms from coordinated market economies (CME) to more effectively implement OHSMS than those from liberal market economies (LME) which are embedded in adversarial industrial relations. Secondly, due to differences in the institutional framework among countries, the mechanisms of enforcement for OHSMS need to be designed in different ways. The article contributes to the literature by showing that the implementation and functioning of OHSMS are mediated by the different institutional logics in which firms are embedded.

A Dynamic, Operation Mode PerspectivePetersen, Bent (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: While the extant literature on offshore outsourcing deals with this operation mode in isolation, and typically with a focus on cost effects, we address the broader question of how companies choose and use outsourcing as part of foreign operation mode development and as a contributor to internationalization. We use a case study of the Danish company SimCorp and the development of its operations in Kiev, Ukraine, to show how learning in various forms, control concerns, and relations with foreign partners may interact and build momentum for mode change. SimCorp's experience demonstrates that outsourcing can be used proactively to promote expanded international operations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8360

Antecedents, processes dynamics and firm-level impactØrberg Jensen, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This PhD thesis addresses one of the most intensely debated phenomena over the past decade within the realm of international business: Firms' relocation of value chain activities to other parts in the network of multinational corporation (MNC) or to external suppliers/services providers in foreign countries (hereinafter referred to as offshoring), often to destination countries with lower cost structures. Whereas the offshoring of manufacturing tasks has existed for several decades, and has been analyzed in the international business literature, the offshoring of advanced services tasks from developed country firms to destination countries such as India, which offer an attractive cocktail of low costs and highly skilled labour, is a more recent phenomenon. The offshoring of this type of services tasks forms the subject of this PhD thesis... URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7741

Et essay i forbindelse med fagbladet Folkeskolens 125 års jubilæum.Pedersen, Ove K. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Lærernes fagblad Folkeskolen fylder 125 år. Tillykke med det! Hermed kan vi fejre et af de mest citerede fagblade, som udgives af en af de mest indflydelsesrige, danske interesseorganisationer, og samtidig en af de vigtigste af alle faggrupper, nemlig folkeskolelærerne. Først af alt kan vi dog fejre den danske folkeskole. Uden den, ingen lærere, og uden lærere ingen forening og intet medlemsblad. Sammen med fagbladet Folkeskolen kan vi derfor også tillade os at fejre skolen; også selvom det er usikkert hvornår folkeskolen opstod, og hvorfra den skal dateres. Opstod den med kirkeordinantens om "børneskoler" i 1539, med anordningen om "almueskoler" i 1814, eller med lov om forskellige forhold vedrørende folkeskolen i 1899? Svaret er ikke ligegyldigt, men irrelevant i denne sammenhæng. I dette bidrag skal jeg hylde Danmarks Lærerforening, dets medlemmer, og deres fagblad, og jeg vil gøre det ved at påstå, at der er ét forhold, som i alle bladets 125 år og i alle DLF's 134 år har optaget medlemmerne mere end noget andet - og det er folkeskolens formål. Folkeskolen fik sin første egentlige formålsparagraf i 1937, men lang tid før var dens opgaver fastsat ved ordinants, ved forordning, anordning eller lov. Det er derfor også ved sådanne bestemmelser, at skolen har fundet sin berettigelse og lærerne deres mission. Ligesom det er ved sådanne bestemmelser, at lærerforeningen har defineret, hvad der udmærker dens medlemmer, hvad der gør dem til en særlig profession, eller giver dem deres kaldelse.

Past: High school student
Belle Black was born at the Horton Cabin, delivered by her father, John Black and Kristen Blake. Belle is the result of an affair that Marlena had with John, while married to Roman Brady. This was not known right away, because Belle's half sister, Sami switched the paternity test results in order to keep Marlena and Roman together. When this didn't work, Sami tried to sell Belle on the black market!
Eventually, the truth came out, as it always does, and Roman and Marlena divorced. Marlena ended up marrying John.
Belle almost died when she was younger. In an attempt to kill Marlena, Kristen Blake poisoned chocolate with penicillin. Belle ate it and became gravely ill. Belle was saved by Roman Brady.
Belle grew up to be a lovely girl. She was friendly with Jason Welles, Jan Spears, Mimi Lockhart, Philip Kiriakis, Shawn -Douglas Brady and Chloe Lane. Belle and her step-brother, Brady Black got themselves into hot water a few times, with Belle ending up in a coma and then with amnesia.
Her memory recovered and she started a youthful love affair with Shawn Brady. The two were both virgins but when on a school trip to Puerto Rico, Jan Spears was raped and impregnated by the rapist (Nichole Walker's father) and so Shawn decided to lie and pretend that he was the father of Jan's child. He wanted to protect Jan, but ended up pushing Belle away. When Jan showed her true colors to Belle and the two argued, Jan fell down the stairs and lost the baby. It was found out that Shawn was not the father of the child and he and Belle got back together. They were fine until Cassie DiMera became obsessed with Shawn. Trouble began, and while the two tried to make it work, they had difficulties.
Shawn and Belle vowed to wait for each other, sexually, until marriage. Belle lied for her mother during the Salem Stalker storyline. Shawn and Belle were at odds because of her lie and they grew apart. Shawn took off on his motorbike one summer night and never came back. Belle was devastated and while Shawn was being held captive by crazed Jan Spears, Belle was being consoled by Philip Kiriakis.
Shawn tried to escape Jan several times and was in pain when she showed him photos of Belle in Philip's arms. Shawn finally escaped but when he got home, Belle and Philip were already moving on together. Belle had made love with Philip. When Shawn and Belle were trapped in a barn together, the cold winter air forced them to remove their clothes and lie together for heat. The two were so out of it with hypothermia that they made love without remembering it later. Philip and Mimi found the two and later Belle married Philip while Shawn and Mimi Lockhart got together.
Belle never truly got over Shawn and her love kept her tortured while she overheard Mimi and Shawn make love in their loft. She prepared to leave Philip but found out she was pregnant. With the help of her parents, she decided to stand by Philip.
Belle gave birth to Claire, and suffered post-partum depression. Claire had serious health concerns, and needed a transplant, which she got from Shawn's little brother Zack, who was hit by a car and had died at the same time that Claire was ill.
Claire turned out to be a healthy girl, and eventually the truth came out that Shawn was the father of Claire. Mimi knew all along and never told anyone, as did Kate and Victor, and their relationships were strained for a long time after. When Philip found out that he was not Claire's father, he tried to run with her. The police caught up to him, and Belle left him right away. Belle moved in with her parents, while Philip left town to go back into the merchant marines. Belle and Shawn continued a difficult relationship, with Shawn dating Willow Stark - an ex-hooker. Shawn got himself into a lot of trouble, while Belle tried to figure out where she fit in. Shawn eventually came to his senses and made his way back to being a man that Belle could trust. Philip came back to Salem when his jeep was bombed. He needed plastic surgery to repair his face, and now looks like a whole new man: The old Philip Kiriakis from their childhood! Philip came back as a bitter man, and had his father Victor pay off a few people to make Shawn and Belle look like bad parents. They paid a woman to take Claire and then bring her back to her parents to make it look as though Claire wandered off. Victor and Philip have just gained temporary custody of Claire. The couple has 60 days in order to show that they can be better parents, or Philip gets sole custody of Claire, while Shawn and Belle get visitation.
Belle and Shawn kidnapped Claire and took her out of the country, where a chase ensued. They returned to Salem, Philip promised to lay off from wanting to take Claire away from them and Shawn asked Belle to be his bride. During their engagement, Belle struggled with some residual feelings for Philip and they slept together once, after John Black "died". She regretted it but they carried on with kissing until she put a stop to that and decided she only wanted Shawn. Shawn's mother, Hope, suspected Belle of cheating with Philip and urged her to tell Shawn the truth. Despite her guilty conscience, Belle and Shawn got married on Thanksgiving 2007. After the truth about her affair with Philip finally came out, Shawn and Belle separated.
When Claire was kidnapped January 2008, Belle almost died after falling into the water down at the pier. Philip saved her life. She, Chloe, Philip and Shawn went after Crystal Miller, who took Claire to safety in New Ross, Ireland.
Belle and Shawn were reunited with Claire in Ireland. They also met Colleen Brady, who turned out to be John's mother, making her Belle's grandmother. Colleen confessed that she sent Crystal Miller to take Claire for her safety. Unfortunately, Colleen revealed that she was terminally ill and died shortly after. On the way home from Ireland, Belle and Shawn, along with everyone else that were flying back, faced a traumatic plane crash due to plane sabotage. Shawn's grandfather, Shawn Brady Senior, died as a hero on the plane.
Belle tried to comfort Shawn as they returned to Salem to bury his grandfather. Meanwhile, Bo was admitted to the hospital for pancreatic failure. Belle stayed by Shawn's side as his father went through a life-saving pancreatic transplant. Shawn finally forgave Belle for her affair with Philip, and they decided to reunite with a fresh start. After Bo's successful surgery, Belle and Shawn decided to take Claire and sail around the world on the Fancy Face 4, a boat John bought for them. They promised that Salem will always be their home and that they would be back.

Marlena is shocked to find out that Shawn and Belle bought a boat and they're leaving Salem. She assumes wrongly that they're taking a short trip but Belle tells her they'll be a long time away. They've told most everyone. Sami arrives and she too is surprised that they're leaving town. Marlena does not want them to leave and Sami jokes that she's forbidding it. She'll be so lonely with them gone. Marlena is angry when she finds that John has bought them a boat. Sami takes Shawn and Claire into the kitchen and Marlena blasts Belle for accepting the boat but Belle thinks this is his way of showing he cares. "This is not your father," Marlena says and thinks she should seriously consider taking the gift. She doesn't want her to read much into it. Belle doesn't find it fun to be psychoanalyzed by her mom but she knows she's right. Still, she thinks John is trying, even though he doesn't know it. She loves him and will take what she can get! Marlena calls her daughter wise. Marlena gives Belle her blessing and admits she's not happy with her taking the boat from her father but she'll be okay. She'll never give up on John, she says. Belle promises they'll keep in touch. Belle calls it strange that Claire bonded with John when nobody else could. Marlena hopes this has softened his heart enough for him to fall in love. Marlena promises to pray for her daily and Belle says she'll keep her in her heart and asks if she could come visit them at some port. Marlena likes that idea and says possibly John will come with her. Belle starts to cry as she says goodbye. Sami arrives at their side and Belle jokes that she can focus her energy on Sami. Sami cries as they realize that girls night will never be the same. A group hug ensues.
At the bar, Sami finds out Shawn's not thrilled with John giving them a boat but he'll go along with it because it makes Belle happy. Claire's finished with her juice and they joke they'll need a bigger boat just for Claire's juice boxes! Sami tells Shawn that their grandparents would be happy for them. They discuss Grandpa Shawn and how much they miss him and Sami says when they're out there sailing, he'll be able to look up at the stars and know he's out there looking down on them. Shawn hugs Sami in thanks. Shawn tells everyone it's time to go and Belle tells them it's a fresh start. She wishes they could come but Sami comments they haven't a boat big enough for all the Bradys! Shawn says Salem's their home and they can't stay away forever.
Belle, Shawn and Claire arrive at the mansion. Rolf lets them in and Belle tells John they're leaving town. John coldly says they didn't have to come all the way down here. They could have called! Belle rolls her eyes and says they're leaving for good. John offers to buy them a boat and when he goes off for juice and champagne with Claire, Belle talks Shawn into allowing John to buy the boat. She thinks he's doing it out of love. Shawn agrees, maybe she is right. Belle wants to get out of there. John returns and Belle is surprised to see Claire with a juice box. John says he knew how much she liked juice so he had the cook buy some. They refuse the champagne and say they'll accept the boat and name it Fancy Face 4! "Glad to do it, dink…" he says. "It's Tink," she corrects and he asks them to treat him like family and use him for as much as they like. Belle starts to cry and hugs John goodbye. "Have fun," he says, uncomfortably. John says goodbye to Claire and tells her he'll miss her. She's the only one in the whole town who really got him. He starts to cry and whispers, "I think there's something in my eye." He tells them not to forget to send a postcard and they leave.
Shawn, Belle and Claire arrive at the hospital to say goodbye to Bo and Hope. Hope has a hard time with it but Bo encourages them to go. They explain about the boat and how they've called the marina and the boat will be ready to leave in the morning! They say goodbye and Hope has a hard time with it. They promise they'll be back and Bo is sure they'll email, use satellite phones and keep in touch. Hugs ensue and Belle thanks Hope for her patience and understanding. Bo tells Shawn to go through the garage and take any equipment they need before they leave. "Sailor man, smooth sailing," Bo says and they salute each other.

Overall Review:
3 out of 5.
ACTIV-otc is a brand of strips that aims to help with a man's sexual health. The strips melt in the mouth, delivering a series of ingredients that are known to help with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, sexual stamina, and all-around sexual vitality.
Upon dissolving, the strips release key ingredients like Horny Goat Weed and L-Arginine. These are two components that are often seen together, known to work well with each other. Horny Goat Weed is an aphrodisiac that may dilate blood vessels in the area of the penis, allowing more room for the proper amount of blood to flow into developing erections. To get this process started, it is said that nitric oxide also needs to be present, something that L-Arginine is known to stimulate. L-Arginine may also improve the quality of semen produced by the body. Ginseng is also present here, attempting to help the blood circulate properly – as well as providing more energy for more sexual stamina.
Maca, Catuaba, and Muira Puama are all known to – essentially – help men remain "manly", with them all having an effect on the testosterone that the body produces. Men do not want to lose testosterone if they are going to continue having a healthy sex drive and develop healthy, strong erections. Not only sexual benefits are experienced when boosting testosterone, as it is an important part of the male biology in many other ways.
If Pygeum Africanum is taken daily, many experts say that it can have a very positive effect on the health of the prostate. Not only is it said that it can help with enlarged-prostate symptoms, but some say that it can help the prostate shrink back to normal size.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Fork Report: Jordan Bachynski sets Pac-12 block record in ASU's overtime win over Oregon State
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona State Sun Devils (17-6, 6-4) shook off a lackluster first half and managed to defeat Oregon State 86-82, needing overtime to seal the deal.
Jordan Bachynski's seven blocks set the all-time Pac-12 record, and he also contributed with 17 points and 15 rebounds. The senior from Calgary, Alb. now has 279 for his career -- a stat that is sure to grow throughout the rest of his final season.
"It was huge," Bachynski said. "I am honored to hold the title. It's because of guys like Bill Walton who laid the foundation before me that I can have the record."
Despite a career-defining game for Bachynski, he fouled out with 2:30 remaining in overtime and had to nervously watch his teammates pull away from the pesky Beavers.
"I hate not being able to control anything," said Bachynski. "I try and give my teammates my energy and do whatever I can. It sucked. I got to be smarter with fouls."
Jonathan Gilling and Jermaine Marshall carried the team in the final frame -- accounting for 15 of the Devils' last 20 points. The duo made consecutive three-point shots to erase an early 67-66 deficit in the overtime period, and ASU never looked back from that point forward.
"It was a game of many swings and runs. Shooting only 31 percent in the first half...in some respects we were fortunate to only be down three," Coach Herb Sendek said about the team's resilience despite it's poor start.
Sun Devils point guard Jahii Carson helped his team get out of its early funk, sparking a 19-6 run that spanned across both halves. The run turned a 28-21 Beavers' advantage to an ASU 40-34 lead. During that stretch, the sophomore accounted for nine points, a steal and an assist. After that spark ignited a relatively quiet home crowd, Carson cooled off and couldn't pull his team far enough ahead from Oregon State.
Carson missed a pair of free throws with his team up 55-49 as well as a step-back jumper near the top of the arc as time expired -- sending the game to overtime. As a team, the Sun Devils collectively shot 62.5 percent from the charity stripe.
"Well it keeps the game interesting," Sendek said about another poor night shooting free throws. "It keeps the other team's hopes alive. As a team we left 15 points on the floor, compared to Oregon State (13-9, 5-5) who missed only six."
ASU for the year is shooting 69.5 percent from the line which ranks them 185th out of 351 Division 1 schools.
Oregon State guard Roberto Nelson helped the Beavers claw back from a late seven point deficit. The senior had 26 points including 4-of-5 shooting from three-point range and 6-of-7 from the charity stripe. His layup with 20 seconds remaining tied the contest at 64.
Center Angus Brandt gave the Devils their biggest scare when he opened overtime with a three pointer that temporarily gave OSU a 67-64 lead. He finished with 13 points and six rebounds, while forward Eric Moreland had a game high 17 boards.
The win certainly helps ASU's resume as March Madness draws nearer. They sit tied for third in the Pac-12 and are currently projected as an 11-seed according to ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi. Seven of the team's final eight regular season games feature opponents ranked in the top 100 RPI rankings.
The Good:
The Sun Devils certainly needed a big performance from someone other than Jahii Carson Thursday. They got it from Jordan Bachynski. He surpassed Arizona's Anthony Cook for the most career blocks by a member of the Pac-12, a record that lasted 15 years.
Jermaine Marshall made multiple key baskets down the stretch -- weaving his way through the paint for countless clutch layups -- carrying ASU in overtime.
While Jonathan Gilling was non-existent for the first 40 minutes of the game, he made a pair of monumental clutch threes in overtime. The first one gave ASU back the lead at 69-67, and the second was the dagger -- pushing the Devils ahead 83-74 with 30 seconds remaining.
The Bad:
Free Throws. As competition gets tougher, ASU needs to complete its share of attempts. Otherwise, this team is destined to either miss the postseason or get sent home earlier than it hopes. Close games are often determined by what each team does from the line. ASU can't allow this to hold them back.
Courtesy of the Sun Devils Athletics' press release...
Jordan Bachynski was an abysmal 55 percent from the free throw line in his first three seasons at ASU. This year, the senior is hitting at an astounding 81 percent which puts him near the top of the conference. Huge improvement and you can tell he put the work in during the offseason.
He Said It:
"We've been fortunate with our big guys as we flashback to Jeff Pendergraph, Eric Boateng, and Jordan. All had humble beginnings and all improved to a point where they became a real difference maker." -- Herb Sendek on how his centers have vastly improved over their careers in Tempe.
Up Next:
The Sun Devils got a victory over a team that they had to beat, especially at home. Now they face a more talented squad, at least on paper, in Oregon on Saturday. Both teams are fighting to get into the tournament, and it is unsure if both will get in. ASU can take matters into its own hands and put themselves ahead of the Ducks--another bubble team. They square off Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. MST on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.

Conclusion of Karang Soce Latrine Project – Senegal
The project was to construct two latrines on the grounds of the Ecole Karang Soce primary school.
Byron reports:
The materials were purchased on June 12, with the "opening ceremony" on July 12. The official opening was marked with the presence of the mayor, the village chief, and several students and other community members. Their thanks, and mine, are overwhelming and abundant.
There was also enough money left over in the budget to paint these latrines. This financial maneuver meant that more transport and all painter labor was donated, further adding value to this community project.
Byron reflected on the project:
Overall, I am very happy with the outcome of the project. With our speed and budget, these latrines are the first official toilets of this primary school. Thank you very much for your support and help.
We are grateful to The Soneva SLOW LIFE Trust for providing the funding for this successful project.

Fellowship with God
Come nearer to God and he will come near to you. - James 4:8
When you have an appetite that asks to be fed, you have a choice as to how you're going to feed it. At almost every point of decision, you'll be tempted to satisfy your appetites in a way that does little more than nourishes your sinful desires and strengthens your resistance to God. However, you have another choice: you can choose to feed your soul and strengthen yourself from the inside out.
There are many skills and strategies that can help you fight temptation and control your appetites—and you would be wise to learn them all well. But none are more important, more effective, or more rewarding than fellowship with God!
As we spend time with our heavenly Father, we gain wisdom and understanding. We grow stronger spiritually. As a result, we become more able to utilize the resources He makes available to us. Through this growth, we become better equipped and better prepared to fight the good fight of faith by standing firm against the temptations that assail us.
It's through fellowship with God that we open ourselves to the fulfillment we were designed for—a fulfillment that satisfies our cravings and our desires better and longer than any other alternative.
As you fellowship with God—through time spent in His Word, through relationships with other believers, and through loving service to others; you gain the accountability, the structure, and the support you need to control and redirect your appetites for redemptive ends.
"Man's love of God is identical with his knowledge of Him." -Moses Maimonides (1135-1204)

Sunoco Continues Rally on Share Buyback Plan: Wilmington Mover
Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Sunoco Inc., the Philadelphia-based company that is exiting refining, rose for a second straight day after announcing plans to boost its dividend and buy back as much as 19.9 percent of its shares.
Sunoco increased 2 percent to $40.60 at 4:01 p.m. in New York and has risen 6 percent since announcing Feb. 2 the share-buying plan and an increase in its quarterly dividend to 20 cents a share from 15 cents. The shares have risen 19 percent this year.
Chief Executive Officer Lynn Elsenhans' push to close or sell the company's last two Pennsylvania-based refineries and focus on its logistics business has improved the company's strategic position, Thomas Coleman and Steven Wood, two analysts at Moody's Investors Service, said in a Feb. 3 report.
"With these steps, we view Sunoco as better-positioned from a leverage and operating perspective to focus on and support its core business," Coleman and Wood said.
Elsenhans announced her departure Feb. 2. Chief Financial Officer Brian P. MacDonald, 46, will take over as chief executive and chairman.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to welcome you as you continue your education en route to what I am certain will be a successful and productive life. This is an exciting time filled with both opportunities and challenges. The faculty and the professional staff are eager to support and to assist you in this journey. You are becoming a member of a community that is committed to learning about the world and the society in which we live as well as encouraging you to understand the world within yourself.
As you begin this process, think of it as the beginning of a lifelong learning experience, not just for you but also for your family. I look forward to seeing you on August 19 as a member of the Aquinas College Class of 2014.
In decades past, administrators liked to deliver a little tough love to incoming students from the first day of college orientation. The act would go something like: "Look to your right and your left. One of two students beside you will not be here next year." We have come a long way in recent decades in creating a kinder and gentler learning environment, and it is not our goal to intentionally weed out students. If your son or daughter gained admission to Aquinas College, we feel they have the requisite skills to succeed here. Nevertheless, the transition to college remains a challenge, and some do not succeed.
It is not so much because such students could not handle it academically; many have difficulty finding the motivation, attitudes, habits or connections needed to facilitate their success. Unfortunately, their pre-collegiate education has not always served them well, as many have been "spoon fed" to such an extent that they have difficulty owning their own education. The issue is for your student to become engaged - to become connected with his or her classes, fellow students, campus life, and instructors. How can we help them make that happen without doing it for them? Here are three tips:
This is an exciting day. It's one your student has been planning and anticipating for a long time. Show your confidence in them by resisting giving them too much advice and too many reminders. They can and will find their way around the residence halls and our campus. In advance of this day, talk to them about how often they want to be called and when they'll come home next. Encourage them to participate in Orientation and other start of school programs.
In the meantime check out our website where we have a myriad of resources to answer your questions and assist your son or daughter as they navigate their Aquinas experience.
The Department of Campus Safety is looking forward to welcoming your student this fall. Our department is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and employs over 25 staff and student employees. We are centrally located on campus on the west side of the Wege Student Center parking lot by the Academic Building. The Department can be accessed at any time on a walk in basis or by telephone.
Department officers work closely in cooperation with the Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids Police Departments to maintain campus security. All officers receive crisis intervention and first aid training and are radio-equipped for quick responses. While touring campus, you may see our officers patrolling on foot or in department vehicles. Officers also provide many college and student support services including campus escorts, parking enforcement and automobile assistance.
My name is Kati Rogers and I am returning to Aquinas for my sophomore year. Looking back on my first year here, I can honestly say it was an amazing experience. I had several opportunities placed my way, and I always had an extremely good time. My experience on campus has been great and I've really gotten to know people through clubs and organizations.
Coming into Aquinas, I had a good set of friends already existing because I am on the Women's Lacrosse team. Right away, we were getting to know each other at team meetings and practices. I had an amazing experience with my time on the lacrosse field and I can't wait to get started on this coming season.

2012 Winner
Georgian Bay Turtle Hospital
Created October  4, 2012 by Jeff Hathaway
LocationOrillia, ON
Funding Level$50k - $100k (< 2014)
Community SizeMore than 1,000
OverviewSeven of Ontario's eight turtles are listed as species at risk. The greatest threat to their survival is that female turtles are hit by cars when they leave the water to lay their eggs. It is possible to save many of these turtles, repair their shells, and get them back into the wild to lay eggs for the future. Since turtles can lay eggs each year for a century or more, every adult female is important to the population.
The Georgian Bay Turtle Hospital will serve the Georgian Bay/Lake Huron watershed, the only watershed in which all eight turtle species may still be found. The Georgian Bay region supports some of the best remaining turtle populations in Ontario.
Injured turtles may be brought to the hospital for treatment and recovery. Treatment will be provided through a network of veterinarians, rehab centres, and volunteers. The recovery process may take months, with care and feeding provided by volunteers. After recovery, turtles will be returned to their original location.
Eggs from turtles that cannot be saved can often be recovered and hatched. These devastatingly cute babies face challenging odds, but at least they have a chance. While saving the adult turtles makes a bigger impact, every little bit helps!
The success of the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre, since 2002, has been an inspiration for us to undertake this effort. Their operations have saved thousands of turtles, but they are already operated near capacity and could use some help! Ultimately, we would like to see a network of similar facilities across the province.
Scales Nature Park is donating the use of a building and land, plus some materials and labour to get started. Additional funds are needed to proceed with building and site modifications, and to purchase required equipment. Donations of materials, cash, and time are welcome! Please help us to help the turtles!

We always knew we liked Al Roker. That charming smile, that warm laugh, that total lack of filter. We also knew we were leery of gastric bypass surgery. Turns out, we were right on all accounts, as evidenced by the fact that…um…Al Roker accidentally pooped his pants at the White House. While that's certainly better than intentionally pooping your pants at the White House, it's both amazing and shocking to hear the Today Show weatherman admit to going Code Brown with the President of the United States in the next room. Apparently it all started after Al allegedly ate something outside of the dietary restrictions set following his surgery. "And as I'm walking to the press room, I think I gotta pass a little gas here. So, I'm walking by myself, who's gonna know, only, a little something extra came out," Al admits to Dateline's Dr. Nancy Snyderman. "I pooped in my pants. Not horribly, but enough that I knew." Not. Horribly. Not horribly, but enough that everyone in the free world would one day know.
We don't know who we love more in this moment: Al for his frankness, or interview Snyderman for her sympathetic deadpan. "I got to the restroom, threw out the underwear, and just went commando," Al recalls. "It told me that I got to be very vigilant as to what I eat." Good luck, every other celebrity. We challenge you to top that. If your humiliating moment doesn't at least involve your poop and the Obama White House, then you don't stand a chance.

Excellent Advice
Thank you for your excellent advice! It is so important for patients and doctors to work together. I once heard Rav Soloveitchik z"l say to someoe who said they had "faith" in their doctor. He said,to paraphrase, no have faith in Hashem, but be sure you have confidence in your Doctor. Thank you again. Best wishes for a K'sivah V'chasimah Tova.

A patient certainly should always follow a doctor's instructions, but those instructions are not always made clear. Not every patient is accompanied be a family member or friend. Patients are generally too overwhelmed to be able to remember oral instructions, and even a family member or friend may not remember everything. I think it is the responsibility of every doctor to present instructions to the patient in written form, too. Also, I think doctors need to inform the patient what can be expected as a result of treatment/following instructions so that the patient will have a better sense of whether there is a problem that needs to be brought to the doctor's attention, or if the new, disturbing symptom is normal and expected. (This is especially true after surgery.)

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sen. Vincent Sheheen is proposing South Carolina agencies help veterans who aren't getting health care and financial assistance from the federal government.
Sheheen said Tuesday state agencies could step forward to help veterans whose care is delayed at Veterans Administration hospitals.
Reports of lengthy patient wait-lists and cover-ups at VA hospitals led to the resignation last week of former Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.
The Camden Democrat says state public health clinics could open extra hours to ease the VA backlog, and the State Department of Mental Health could reach out to suffering veterans, among other things.
Sheheen says he is working with Rep. James Smith, D-Columbia, to get $1 million from House budget conferees for the effort, to be repaid later.

Get Your Hands on Your Future
UW-Stout offers innovative, career-focused degrees based on active learning, applied theory and research.
The list has been narrowed and voting is under way to determine the name of the University of Wisconsin-Stout mascot.
The finalists are Blaze, Harvey, Scorch and Beau. The names were chosen by the university from more than 100 names that were submitted during the past two weeks.
The winner will be the name that gets the most votes during an online poll at the Blue Devil mascot Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/uwstoutbluedevilmascot. Voting continues through Thursday, Feb. 9.
Voters will be restricted to one vote each. They do not need to be a fan of the mascot Facebook page in order to vote.
The winner will be announced Saturday, Feb. 11, between the basketball games against UW-Eau Claire at Johnson Fieldhouse. The women's game begins at 4 p.m., and the men's game is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
The university hopes to publicly recognize, during the announcement, the person or people who submitted the winning name.
A 10-person committee, including five students, has overseen the naming process.
UW-Stout unveiled the school's first official mascot Sept. 22 during a football game at Don and Nona Williams Stadium. It was created as a result of collaboration between students and administration. The SSA surveyed students about the idea and design. An art and design student, Megan Jurecki of Burlington, designed the prototype.
The mascot has appeared at numerous university and community events since its unveiling.

This is the official Trailer to Far Cry the Movie by Uwe Boll. I really enjoyed the game and I still do, but this trailer makes me'Cry'. I still din't understand why Crytek/Ubisoft sold the Rights to Uwe Boll. PS: es, the song when the Trailer starts was/is from Nolan's 'Batman Begins'.

Penny Arcade is an insanely fun game that reminds me of some of my favorite old-school 1980s arcade hits. The goal in this single-player game is to collect yellow coins (worth 10 points) by capturing them as they fall down in a nicely done gravitational simulation. If a yellow coin is not caught, five points is deducted from the player's score. It is important to note that red coins are to be avoided as capturing them eliminates the player lives.
By racking up points, the player is able to unlock additional levels. Penny Arcade also offers a way to improve one's ability to catch yellow coins by trading the collected coins for various power-ups in the game's shop. For example, a bouncy ball can be purchased for 200 coins, which doubles the number of points in a single game.
The overall gameplay in Penny Arcade is intuitive and above all fun. Players' individual scores can be tracked globally via the iPhone's Game Center. The graphical and audio elements are done well, and they mesh nicely with the gaming experience.
As a free game, Penny Arcade rivals and even exceeds some of the apps that cost money. In conclusion, Penny Arcade is a game definitely worth downloading.

Geforce FX 5800 is actually quite a good card
I recently picked up an Asus FX 5800 (non-ultra). I have 2 systems at home- both with Athlon 2500+, 512 2700 ddr and Nforce2 (Asus and Biostar) motherboards. One system has a Radeon 9800 and the other obviously a 5800. At default settings for both the 9800 and 5800 the 5800 is only a few fps slower than the 9800 in Quake3 and UT2003 benchmarks. I was quite suprised. The 9800 seems to have a edge over the 5800 when paying with AA/AF. I have 17inch monitors and pay all my games at 1024 x 768. The 3dmark2003 scores were 4500 for the 5800 and 5500 for the 9800.
I don't have exact benchmarks with me at the moment, but my point of all of this is that the 5800 really is not a bad card at all. It is smooth in all the games I play. It is too bad the Ultra NV30 gave the standard 5800 a bad rep. I happen to get the 5800 for $299.00- even with the 5900 coming out for $399- I think you can't go wrong if you buy the 5800 now. It will probably get even cheaper soon. Also, the card is quiet too. It is no louder than the case fans I had already.
Actually thats is pretty much exactly the difference between the 5800 and 9800.
The 5800 has a slightly higher core clock, but slightly different single and Multi-texture processing. The 9800pro has more bandwidth and better AA. the difference in performance will get more severe the higher you crank the AA and AF.
But at 1280x1024 with 2xAA and 8x (ballanced) AF the 5800 should do just fine and humm right along.
All this stuff really comes down to personal preference and what settings you like to play games at.
Remember that the only way the newest cards show noticeable speed increases is at high-quality settings (AA/AF) at high resolutions. Even a Ti4600 can hang with the latest cards at 1024 with no AA/AF, unless the CPU is very, very fast.
Dont tell me you got rid of a perfectly good 9800pro for a stock 5800. Did you???
Thanks guys- I figured I'd get pounded for some reason here about my comments but wanted to post for those who wanted to know how the plain 5800 actually was. Anyone that doesn't want to go with ATI and doesn't want to spend $400.00 on the upcoming 5900 should consider the plain FX 5800. I haven't even tried to overclock the 5800 to the Ultra clock settings yet. Sorry- I have 2 systems- one with a 9800 and one with a 5800.
Well, at $299, I think the 5800 is way overpriced compared to other cards on the market. :)
i agree. this card has 3 advantages over ultra :
1)much cheaper
2)not noisy
3)easily overclocked to ultra standards and beyond
i think that from the whole fx line this one is the winner for nvidia
5600 is too weak and 5200 shouldn't exist at all as it's performance is ridiculous plus it's dx9 support is useless with this poor performance
If the 500mhz chip required a dustbuster. To the extreme that a bug or overlooked area in the driver caused whole cards to MELT during a 3d screen saver.
How in the *beep* do you suppose that the same chip clocked at 400mhz with normal cooling is "easily overclockable to Ultra and beyond"??? Sorry, not without adding some extreme cooling.
Me i only really ever use 1024x768 but would like to use AF, never use AA unless playing very old games with limited rez which i heard the R300/R350 has problems doing as they don't support AA in 16bit mode.
anyway, who cares if you believe it or not :p
The lage cooler is mostly to guarantee flawless work because their might be pc cases which are not that good cooled like others. Most enthusiast although have pretty good cooled pc cases so that might be one reason why so many people manage to get ultra clock speeds on their FX5800.
Without a doubt the FX5200 is faster than the low cost offerings from the competition(Rv280 and 250) offers nice office features and in addition to that DX9 for free.
This card is nothing but great for its target market and it helpes that developers jump on the DX9 bandwagon.

'Duck Dynasty' star did nothing wrong in venting biblical views
There seems to be a big misun- derstanding that is hitting the media, gay groups, the A&E network and African- Americans.
Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" made some statements. OK, some groups didn't like them. Some TV hosts and commentators are all fired up in opposition, OK.
What did Phil Robertson say? He quoted the Bible. But Phil's a bigot. He quoted the Bible. That's right. Well then, so am I and other folks, including some TV hosts and commentators.
How come of all the commentators I heard, about 95 percent opposed Phil quoting what the Bible says? Why weren't there more people interviewed that agreed with Phil? Were they invited or were the inviters bigots?
There was a pastor who had a degree in Hebrew study of the Old Testament (originally written in Hebrew) that told an opponent that misquoted Leviticus 18:21-24. The opponent said God was not against homosexuality. The pastor said, "Study it." Another opponent said Jesus never addressed homosexuality. "Study Matthew 19:3-9."
We, who hold to Scripture, are not bigots. Phil quoted what God wrote. Phil quoted 1st Corinthians 6:8-11 along with Leviticus 18:23.
As far as Phil talking down about African-Americans, what did he say? "I saw." He saw singing and the happiness. The African-Americans happened to be in the same environment that Phil was in as "white trash" before welfare came "for anyone on it" (there are whites on it). This is what Phil saw. You opposing groups were not there at that place, at that time with those who were present — white and black.
What God says will never be changed (Matthew 24:35.) Is God a bigot? Or is he trying to teach us something like right from wrong? I know this gay lifestyle has been called a medical-mental condition, and science says it's just another way to live. Sorry. The Bible says it's sin. The Bible outranks anything man says if in opposition.
If more people who oppose what Phil quoted would study the Bible, they will understand.
Phil did nothing wrong.
James E. Brammer, Salem
Contrary to study findings, shale plays big role in NE Ohio growth
A recent study authored by opponents of shale energy made the unbelievable claim that Ohio's oil and natural gas boom isn't that great. The truth is that we have a new industry in our state that is creating jobs and making a major impact in the lives of Ohioans, especially here in Northeast Ohio.
Across our shale region we are seeing many opportunities that we did not before. Of course this is not only limited to direct industry jobs — those working for oil and natural gas companies — it also includes jobs being created to support those workers. From construction and manufacturing jobs to new hotels to restaurants, the article clearly ignores the thousands of jobs being supported and created as a result of oil and natural gas activity in the state.
This industry is still very young as well. What we will see over the next few decades will be even greater development.
We need to recognize the opportunities that have come and will come to our region thanks to this new industry. The jobs being created go much further than just the companies doing the drilling. We will continue to see a positive impact across the region for years to come.
Amy Rutledge, Carrollton

Why does Gov. Kasich distance himself from Austintown racino?
Why does the Ohio Rac- ing Commission persist in gumming up the works for Penn National Gaming and its $125 million racino under construction in Austintown?
Last April, the commission took issue with the number of indoor seats with views of the track.
More recently, they were whining about the number of horse stalls, insisting that 760 stalls aren't nearly enough. The "benchmark" it claims is 1,000 stalls.
A Vindicator column written several months ago told of a friendship between Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Quicken Loans, and a major player in several northeastern Ohio gaming venues. I believe that writer referred to the friendship as a "mutual admiration society."
Regardless of the status of their "bro-mance," it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots. Kasich, through his appointees on the racing commission, continues to stymie Penn National. Gilbert, a potentially major campaign donor, gains a preferred spot on the governor's already crowded dance card.
Speculation? Perhaps. However, we do know one thing for sure, and that is the deep affection Kasich has for the sound of his own voice. Indeed, always eager to speak to any audience, captive or otherwise, yet the governor was conspicuous by his absence from the May 31 racino groundbreaking, a significant event attended by Penn National officials, business and community leaders, local and county officials, most area state legislators, as well as U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan.
It should be noted that the governor appeared at a similar launch at Exterran on Salt Springs Road, just a stone's throw from the racino. He also spoke at NiSource in nearby New Middletown.
An accidental snub to Penn National? I don't think so.

To close partisan divide in US, parties must respect opposition
Bipartisanship among Ameri- ca's political leaders is virtually nonexistent because of a major difference in opinion. Liberals and conservatives, even with their most moderate policies, have ideologies that are miles apart from each other. If that's the case with moderate politicians, then the extremists are in different galaxies. When highly revered public officials like Mike Morell, former deputy director of the CIA, makes a statement on "60 Minutes" saying, "what really keeps me up at night is the inability of our government to make decisions that push our economy and our society forward," every American should set aside time for some unbiased research.
If that statement isn't discouraging enough Morell follows up with another message for Americans. "For some reason that I don't understand, there's been a change from a willingness of the two parties to work together to get things done to today the two parties at each other's throats simply trying to score political points, and I don't know why that's occurred and I don't have a good understanding of how to fix that."
Remember, Mike Morell isn't a politician; his sole purpose was to protect the American people from external threats. He was a true public servant whose words can be trusted and should be listened to.
The responsibility for the mismanagement of both parties is in the hands of our commander and chief; putting at risk not only our national security but our way of life. Set aside your loyalties and biases and focus on the fact that the president's inability to successfully manage and communicate to both sides of government is destroying the two-party system.
Instead of working through differences, which is the basis for our political system, the two parties have retreated to defensive positions; worrying more about scoring political points than working for the people they represent. Wholeheartedly agreeing with the liberal or conservative policies isn't tearing this country apart; it's the lack of respect for the opposition. We are better than this and should demand more from our public officials.
I say fire them all.
Nathaniel Whaley, Youngstown
I don't think that people who disagree with what Robertson said actually 'hate' the Bible. So again, that statement is pretty asinine. I do think it's more of a case of reasonable people lashing out at those who incorrectly and selectively interpret the Bible to support their own, and others, desire to instill fear, hate, and division as a way to advance their own personal beliefs. I mean, honestly, if Jesus returned tomorrow, the tea party would run Him out of town on a rail b/c he was too liberal. Robertson didn't quote the Bible at all. He was "paraphrasing" select parts of the Old Testament. And his statements that most African-Americans were 'happier' prior to the Civil Rights movement isn't based on anything in the Bible and quite honestly, is just moronic. And remember before you rage against those who went after him and claim that they 'hate' the Bible or hate free speech, they have just as much right to state their disagreements with his speech as he has to say what he wants. And he put himself out there in the first place, so for a guy like that to say the things he did in an interview, well, I don't blame him for being so ignorant, I blame him for being so stupid as to think there wouldn't be any blow back. So yeah, our speech is free, but we still have to pay the tax. You don't like it, then speak your mind, and be prepared for those who disagree with you to speak there's. The 1st Amendment cuts both ways. It's called America
@doubles "the 1st amendment cuts both ways. I agree, but its when a minority feels that they can make a man lose his job because they didn't like what was spoken is BS. Secondly I always thought that this country was run by the Majority not the minority !!! If you don't like it, too bad . But this PC world we have been forced to live in SUCKS!!!!!!
Famous eivo quotes: "I am never the first one to start name calling. "
See post #2..... He just couldn't wait to start name calling!
Doubled with the Post Of The Year. I heard a question asked the other day...if Jesus was in America today would he vote Republican? He would be seen as a raging liberal.
Also Mr. Brammer, it's been almost 50 years since homosexuality has been called a "medical-mental condition". I suggest you catch up with the times.
Revision of conventional wisdom about ducks.....
"If it walks like a Duck and sounds like a Duck, it just might be a resident of Louisiana."
"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person," Robertson is quoted in GQ. "Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field.... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people'—not a word!... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."
Robertson made his statement based on his life experience. From his own words: "We were so poor as kids. I didn't even see a bathtub, running water, hot water, commode–we didn't have any of that. We started with a humble log house, milk cow, garden-raised our own food, killed a hog every year in the fall, and had the meat hanging up in the smokehouse—that was our childhood, me and ol' Si. If you had pulled in there in the 1950s, you would've said it was the 1850s. It looked like we were living 100 years before."
Miley Cyrus can "twerk" in front of all America and masturbate throughout her entire music video and she's applauded for her artistic expression, but Phil Robertson was banned and criticized for expressing his moral beliefs based on thousands of years of biblical teachings.
I hope that you are not implying that Cyrus' antics are universally applauded. At least the media that watch and the people that I know considered her performance to be repulsive, and disgusting. Like it or not, in our "free" society there are going to be some segment to will defend and even applaud lewd and filthy behavior.
As a matter of fact, however Phil Robertson was not "banned" from A&E, he was officially on hiatus. It is my perception that A&E cooked this up to draw more attention to the Duck show. Robertson did not miss a single filming. His hiatus was a non-event. False indignation on the part of A&E that will result in more advertising revenue.
Even the Robertson family statement acknowledged that his language was unnecessarily coarse and apologized for it.
He describes himself as a redneck bible thumper, not a theologian, not a biblical scholar, and has every right to interpret the Bible any way he wishes.
But he is no Billy Graham.
The Robertson clan took a great gamble in alienating all the gay duck hunters who buy their best selling "yoohoo,over here, fella" duck call. They were rich before the show and will remain rich.The shale proponents are usually land owners who made a lot of money off the leases and are now trying to rationalize it for the rest of us.The racino is neither here nor there.I see over 30 lottery games for sale every time I go inside to pay for my gas.There is no difference to me.None.If people want to gamble their money away,its their money to do what they please with.

Jim Crow segregation in the American South, like the human bondage that preceded it, is now a disgraceful memory.
But that race-based scourge was still deeply entrenched in this region when Julius Waties Waring became a federal judge more than seven decades ago. And digging that poisonous fruit out by the roots demanded extraordinary deeds by extraordinary people.
Judge Waring was one of those special individuals - and will be deservedly honored today for his bold rulings in favor of racial fairness.
Assorted dignitaries, including U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, will pay tribute to the transformational jurist in a ceremony unveiling a statue of him at Charleston's Federal Courthouse.
Many 21st century Americans can't fully grasp the great courage required for a judge living in the South of that time to take on the reigning institutional, legalized and cultural bigotry.
And Judge Waring suffered widespread scorn for repeatedly ruling against segregation laws that violated basic human rights.
In his 1951 opinion on Briggs v. Elliott, that son of a Confederate veteran wrote as a member of the federal appellate court in Charleston:
"I am of the opinion that all of the legal guideposts, expert testimony, common sense and reason point unerringly to the conclusion that the system of segregation in education adopted and practiced in the state of South Carolina must go and go now. Segregation is per se inequality."
South Carolinians today recognize the "common sense and reason" of that obvious judicial conclusion.
Yet Judge Waring issued that opinion in dissent as the two other judges on the panel upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine that perpetuated school segregation.
Judge Waring became a pariah here in his hometown for challenging that blatant, long-term lie of alleged equality in a public education system that consigned black South Carolinians to inferior facilities and resources.
Widely ostracized throughout South Carolina, he resigned from the bench in 1952 and moved to New York City, where he died in 1968. He then came home in death to be buried at Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery.
And Briggs v. Elliott, including his persuasive dissent, became one of the cases grouped under Brown v. Board of Education, in which the U.S. Supreme Court finally - and unanimously - outlawed racial segregation in public schools in 1954.
Judge Waring also rendered brave decisions to give black teachers equal pay and advance voting rights for minorities.
Our state still suffers from its history of segregation.
But Judge J. Waties Waring's distinguished legacy as a driving force for equality will endure.
And the judge's statue at the courthouse will serve as a reminder of the uplifting power of the law - and his indispensable contribution to justice.
