"About Last Night" stars Kevin Hart. The film comes out in theaters nationwide today on Valentine's Day.
With the statistics from your most recent film "Ride Along" showed that you received a tremendous amount of support from women. Talk about the importance of having a large female appeal. And also for the shirtless scenes, did you have to do a lot of preparation for that?
I did six thousand push up's for the first shirtless scene, nah I'm joking! Listen, it's good to have any type of support whether it be male of female. The studios go crazy over that kind of stuff, but that's not my particular way of thinking. For me thus far in my appeal whether it be film or standup show, it's all about the content and putting out great content that the people can enjoy, I want to appeal to everyone and be universal. In this film I switched it up a little bit and you see my levels. Woman will appreciate it and men can relate to it because it's real. For my character this man actually does exist. I took the part and I said I can make this part something special. You've never seen me like this in a movie. You see me get emotional and you see a charming side of me, you've never seen me like this. You'll laugh, but at the same time we didn't cut corners. I thank God that I had Regina Hall to play off of. She's pound for pound one of the funniest women on the planet and I'll stand by that. Regina did not miss a beat, and you don't find that. She's amazing in this movie.
There are four African American Leads, but this is not a black film. Can you talk about the evolution and the whole stigma of the "Black Film"?
I think the whole stigma of black movies is being lost. When you look at this movies that came out even in the past year they're pound for pound just good movies that everybody is going to see and because of box office results you cant deny it, regardless of the color of the skin of the cast. The stigma that has been on certain films is slowly fading away. I think we did a great job of modernizing "About Last Night." We could never recreate the original that was done with an all white cast. We made a film that is fit for the society and for today's relationships. It's a movie. I was blessed to do a movie. The stigma of black films, I just don't use it at all. It's just a movie. I'm getting ready to do a film with Will Ferrell, we're not calling it a white and black guy movie. It's just a movie and this film amongst other films that I've done are just great movies, plain and simple.
How was it working with Director Steve Pink? How was that process?
First if all I love Steve's personality. Directors have one the toughest jobs on set. You have to control all these different personalities. Directors have a certain amount of time in a day to get a certain amount of shots done and that's hard to do and to deal with everything and everybody and still keep a smile on your face while doing it means that you're really good at what you do. Me and Steve's rapport was amazing and you want that kind of dynamic with your director. Steve is amazing.
We see a different side of you and different layers to your character, what was it like preparing to bring that kind of muscle to the comedy and do you plan to doing more of that?
Whatever options are brought to the table that are best for my career, that show growth is what I plan to do. I would love to give you a great thespian story, about how I prepared and studied and read books on love, but I didn't, I'm not that guy, I talked to the directors and gave them my take on it, I knew I could take it somewhere else so I had to see if they agree and they did. I read the materials and there were ways to elevate it. I pulled from past experiences in my life. I just try to make sure that it's believable and make sure that it's grounded and that people can relate, like that's me. With Steve, I wanted him to make sure that I'm not too much. I always want to be on a realistic playing field and he did a great job monitoring it. I think it shows in the final product.
You have such a great twitter, and you're really focused and very dialed in. How did you get to that level? Were there certain things that you experienced or lessons that you learned along the way to make you so dialed in and now you're really ready?
I've watched my peers no need to name names. People who were in my position before. I've been doing this for 17 plus years and my just do is coming. Everything I've seen up to this moment has informed me. It's the time for me to make smart decisions. It's like now that I'm this guy "Kevin Hart" it's like now that you're here and they're saying you're the "it guy," it's like what do you do? Do you relax and stay grounded. Or do you use your position of muscle to create for you and your brand. I'm not just sitting back taking what's given to me, I'm going out and getting stuff. I'm making sure that my team is in the kitchen cooking, so that when I finish one project we can move forward to the next now that the studios are already committed to. If you go all in you'll get great results. When I say I'm focused, I mean as a producer and the CEO of Hartbeat Productions. It's all about understanding the longevity of the entertainment business. You get out what you put in. If you go all you're going to get a great results. It may take a year or ten years, but it will pay off and come full circle, I'm living proof.
You're such a great business man, I read that you want to own your very own building down the line for Hartbeat Productions along the lines of a Warner Brothers for example. As a young entrepreneur watching you I've seen how strategic you've been in putting out steady, solid work and projects as well as placing yourself in a position to finance your own projects as well. What advice do you have for young artist and entrepreneurs that are looking to you as an inspiration? Advice that you can share about your story and some of the things that you've done on your journey to success?
You're a product of your environment and more importantly your surroundings. I love and praise my city every chance I get, but I'm speaking about my surroundings, you have no choice, but to become what you're seeing on a day to day basis. I'm surrounded by people who make decisions, who take meetings and position other people in a way that best suits them to get them what they need. I'm always around motivated and driven by people. I can go to studio heads at Lionsgate and Warner Brothers, people in great positions, people who started off as entertainers. When you surround yourself with motivated people like Puff, Jay-Z, and Tyler Perry. Businessmen, some of which who started off as entertainers like Judd Apatow who's now the face of comedy, if it's a Judd project then it's an automatic go. I applaud people like Jay-Z, that's my boy, my friend, he's one of the people that gave me one of my first starts! It's like what is your excuse to not want to be great? There's no scientific process, I don't understand how people are comfortable with seeing other people be great. You can be happy for them, but what is your excuse to not want to be great, too? They say hey, I want to do this and then they go out and they do it. It starts as just a thought, at first. I'm figuring out how to do it. The worst thing that can happen is that you don't do it right, but then you just learn how to do it better the next time. When I step into a room and the conversation pertains to business I want to be great and I want to be respected, that to me is better than anything else. There's no reason why I can't be a mogul. You can sit down as talent, or as talent with a business acumen and they'll say, what do you want? Then it's a different ball game.
What kind of legacy do you want to leave now that you have so much more influence and you're doing all of these great things. So many artists say that they want to inspire young people or to change the industry in some way. What kind of influence do you hope to have long term?
I'm showing comedians of our generation that it's more than just being funny. There so much more to success. It's about building a brand. Your perception can eventually become your reality. It's all a building block, it's not just about going out there and making people laugh for two seconds. What is your plan? What's your set about? Are you trying to show that you can be a TV show? Are you trying to show your acting chops? What is your plan? And in doing so, as you get closer everything has come back full circle. I treat everyone with respect and I'm always a pleasant guy to meet and then later becomes a partnership conversation. The first thing people say is I remember you. Do what you want, but have a plan. Don't just do it, to do it, or to say you did it.
How do you deal with rejection? In this business you never really know how things will turn out. You've been in the business a long time and you've encountered some upsets along the way yet you've overcome and proved a lot of people wrong. When you encounter adversities or rejection, how do you deal with it and keep from burning yourself out?
How thick is your skin? That's the fucked up thing about acting. You never know. Man I have stories. Casting Directors have taken the paper out of my hand during an audition. It's a serious, serious business. My show "Big House," I'm about to step onstage at up-fronts and someone taps me on the shoulder to tell me Kevin, no your show didn't get picked up. We need to get you back to the hotel and on a plane. You have to have a thick skin. Some people are blessed with it and some people aren't. It can be a serious smack in the face business and either you can take it or you can't. I remember this guy named Lucien at one of the comedy clubs told me, "yeah you're just not that funny, I don't like your approach" I didn't give up, I just went to another comedy club. From thinking you're going to get the movie of a lifetime, to not actually getting it, there are just so many levels to it. You have to ask yourself, are you doing it for other people or are you doing it for yourself? I work for me and I'm my own brand, I do it because I'm happy, I'm having a good time.
What are you working on next?
I'm working on a film with Will Ferrell. It's a chase within a chase film called "Get Hard." I also have a film coming out called "The Wedding Ringer" and "Think Like A Man Too", It's an exciting time! I'm also working on touring again with another stand up show by the end of 2015, beginning of 2016.
Thank you Kevin, Congratulations on your success!

bone tumor that affects children. It can occur any time during childhood and young adulthood, but usually develops during puberty, when bones are growing rapidly. The tumor may arise anywhere in the body, usually in the long bones of the arms and legs, the pelvis, or the chest. It may also develop in the skull or the flat bones of the trunk. There are few symptoms. The most common is pain and occasionally swelling at the site of the tumor. Fever may also be present. The tumor often spreads (metastasis) to the lungs and other bones.[1] The cause of Ewing sarcoma is unknown. Most cases are thought to occur randomly and many involved a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22. Treatment depends upon a number of factors, but may include chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgical interventions.[2]Ewing sarcoma is a malignant (cancerous)

Risk Assessment Battery (RAB)
Seventeen items from the RAB are used in the computation of three scores - a drug-risk score, a sex-risk score, and a total score. These scores are calculated by adding responses to selected items. For individual questions, the response values range from 0 to a maximum of 4. Higher values for items reflect greater frequency of occurrence of the behavior. The eight item drug-risk score has a range of 0 to 22. The range of the sex-risk score, comprised of 9 items, is 0 to 18. This simple scoring system was designed to capture frequency of engaging in each of the reported risk behaviors. Scores for the various items are not differentially weighted. This scoring strategy serves to guard against underestimates of risk resulting from the tendency to under-report participation in behaviors known to be most likely to transmit the HIV virus.

I hope to see it as soon as I possibly can. Looks awesome!
Hawks tell us we have no future, and we let you know what we think of Hawk fans, which is a lower opinion all the time. CycloneErik 7/25/2011
With the exception of tm3308. He is a good contributor on this site. It is almost to the point that I question if he is actually a hawk fan. -- Cyclonestate78 7/25/2011
He broke the mold. If he wrote the OP, I would have read the whole thing. CycloneErik 7/25/2011
I bet it is terrible
I think it's got a score of 43 on Metacritic at this point, but it probably doesn't portray what the Hollywood press would like to see either, so I'll take that with a grain of salt.
I'd like to see it. My 14 year old son wants to see it too, but that really depends on the content.
Rotten tomatoes has it at 22%. I wouldn't expect the acting to be great due to having real navy seals. I would hope the action makes up for it though.
It looks awful. Would love to see a good documentary on SEALs or a good movie on SEALs. This will be neither. It's a contrived gimmicky POS.

Lol. Saying it sucks without watching is probably a good idea. You apparently know less than zero about the background of the film.
Personally, I'm pumped to see it tonight!
I was in the millitary so I've got much love for our troops....but this seems like it's glorifying war. War is not to be glorified. I've not seen the movie but if they try and make fighting and killing some kind of fantasy fun act than this movie is down right wrong. Also, for anyone who's ever been in the military you know this is the kind of **** recruiters will use to get guys to sign up.
As a marine who has trained with seals on coronado island I am interestes in seeing it
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
Looks interesting. I will probably wait till it hits TNT :P
I'm kind of pumped for it. They used real SEALS and live ammunition. It probably won't be that good, because generally there is a reason that movies use actors, but I'm excited to see a glimpse of what those guys do.

Force recon? Always was fun playing with you guys.
As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs
looks like a gigantic propaganda recruitment tool.....with terrible acting...not my cup of tea.
and before I get savagely attacked about my opinion....I served in the military and have the right to my own thoughts.

How nice, its still visible how the clouds look like. I like that the Castle is not in the center of the map, making the eye looking around. How old is your niece?
How nice, its still visible how the clouds look like. I like that the Castle is not in the center of the map, making the eye looking around. How old is your niece?
She's 8. I had to help with some of the technical things with working the program, but the rest is all her.
The next generation of cartographers is comming!
As Schwarzkreuz, I like the way the original cloud is still partially visible in this map... it adds something very artistic and mysterious to the whole. The composition of regions and objects is also very good.
Tell her: good work... she is building her reputation here early!
How sweet, I was in the same age, doing my first bigger map on the package of the new furniture of my parents. The sheet of cardboard was so big in my memory, so big that it could holds the wonder of infinity worlds. Its cool you helping her in this creative output!
Yes, its a phrase I realy try to fit into my passions of map making, its nice to see younger people trying things out. I also think this community is a great palce to devellop.
I like it. It's simple and a lot of stamp-work, but appropriate to a beginner. The composition is good, and I really love that it is very suggestive of possible stories: this would be a fine map to be handed and told to write a story or design an RPG campaign for it. About the only thing I would suggest as an improvement is labels for the bodies of water, if only to give the expanses of sea a little more interest.

Oakland, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Although it was Christmas night, there was
little holiday cheer between the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State
Instead, two flagrant fouls were called and there were two ejections in a game
that saw the Warriors come away with a 105-103 win.
Clippers star forward Blake Griffin was ejected after picking up two technical
fouls in the second half. Golden State forward Draymond Green was shown the
door at the conclusion of the third quarter for throwing an elbow in the
direction of Griffin. Warriors center Andrew Bogut was issued a flagrant foul
for grabbing Griffin.
Harrison Barnes hit two free throws with 1:09 remaining to give Golden State a
105-103 lead.
After Darren Collison missed a 3-point shot for LA, he made amends by stealing
the ball from David Lee. Chris Paul, though, missed a short shot, but Barnes
came up empty at the other end by throwing up an air ball with 20.1 seconds
Paul then drove in for the tying layup, but the ball rolled off the rim.
The Clippers still had life after Andre Iguodala missed two free throws with
9.3 seconds left. Paul then had his layup blocked by Klay Thompson with a
second left, and after an inbounds play Jamal Crawford's 3-point shot came up
Right after the final horn, Paul grabbed the ball out of Bogut's hands and the
two exchanged words. Harrison Barnes then shoved Bogut from behind, and
coaches and players for both teams jawed at each other.
The teams will meet again Jan. 30 in Los Angeles.

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) - A former employee of a nonprofit that served the intellectually disabled has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for stealing more than $166,000 from the organization and its clients.
Thirty-four-year-old Penny Parker Green of Bowie was also ordered to pay restitution to the ARC of Prince George's County at sentencing Monday.
According to her plea agreement, Green used her ARC corporate credit card for personal expenses and directed other employees to withdraw cash from group home residents' bank accounts for her personal use.
Prosecutors say Green spent the money on electronics, a trip to Aruba and to have custom closets installed in her home.

The team at StriVectin believes that even the most revolutionary of skin care products shouldn't have to be complicated to use. As a result, the brand offers formulas that are very straightforward, greatly simplifying shopping. Products are broken into lines intended for specific dermatological concerns, and packaging is color-coded to make complementary formulas easy to spot.
All of the StriVectin formulas begin with NIA-114, an optimized molecular form of the vitamin niacin that is easily absorbed by the skin. For skin that is plagued by signs of aging, NIA-114 helps to improve texture and tone in four ways: by directly assisting with the repair of the cells, by promoting the shedding of damaged cells, by stimulating the release of body chemicals that assist with cellular repair and by helping to reduce melanin production to address age-related hyperpigmentation. In each StriVectin line, NIA-114 combines with additional ingredients to tackle imperfections. Find your ideal solutions in the StriVectin range today.

Hi folks,
we often have to customize the zimbra-core (NE).
Ideally, these changes are done via patches that can be directly
applied to the $ZIMBRA_ROOT. But what about their compressed
versions (.zgz files) ?
Is Zimbra clever enough to prefer the uncompressed files
(due newer timestamp) or do we need to recompress them
on our own ?

The Irish people are mainly of Celtic origin, with the country's only significant sized minority having descended from the Anglo-Normans. English is the common language, but Irish (Gaelic) is also an official language and is taught in schools.
Anglo-Irish writers such as Swift, Sheridan, Goldsmith, Burke, Wilde, Joyce, Yeats, Shaw, and Beckett have made a major contribution to world literature over the past 300 years.
The earliest inhabitants--people of a mid-Stone Age culture--arrived about 6000 BC. About 4,000 years later, tribes from southern Europe arrived and established a high Neolithic culture, leaving behind gold ornaments and huge stone monuments. The Bronze Age people, who arrived during the next 1,000 years, produced elaborate gold and bronze ornaments and weapons.
The Iron Age arrived abruptly in the fourth century BC with the invasion of the Celts, a tall, energetic people who had spread across Europe and Great Britain in the preceding centuries. The Celts, or Gaels, and their more numerous predecessors divided into five kingdoms in which, despite constant strife, a rich culture flourished.
The coming of Christianity from across the Irish Sea brought major changes and civilizing influences. Tradition maintains that St. Patrick arrived on the island in AD 432 and, in the years that followed, worked to convert the Irish to Christianity.
The pagan druid tradition collapsed before the spread of the new faith, and Irish scholars excelled in the study of Latin learning and Christian theology in the monasteries that flourished. Missionaries went forth from Ireland to England and the continent, spreading news of the flowering of learning, and scholars from other nations came to Irish monasteries. The excellence and isolation of these monasteries helped preserve Latin and Greek learning during the Dark Ages. The arts of manuscript illumination, metalworking, and sculpture flourished and produced such treasures as the Book of Kells, ornate jewelry, and the many carved stone crosses that dot the island.
Two hundred years of Viking invasion and settlement was later followed by a Norman conquest in the 12th century. The Norman conquest resulted in the assimilation of the Norman settlers into Irish society. The early 17th century saw the arrival of Scottish and English Protestants, sent as colonists to the north of Ireland and the Pale around Dublin.
In 1800 the Irish Parliament passed the Act of Union with Great Britain, and Ireland was an official part of the United Kingdom until 1921. Religious freedom, outlawed in the 18th century, was restored in 1829, but this victory for the Irish Catholic majority was overshadowed by a severe economic depression and the great famine from 1846-48 when the potato crop failed. Millions died, and the millions that emigrated spawned the first mass wave of Irish emigration to the United States. A decade later, in 1858, the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB--also known as the Fenians) was founded as a secret society dedicated to armed rebellion against the British. An aboveground political counterpart, the Home Rule Movement, was created in 1874, advocating constitutional change for independence.
Galvanized by the leadership of Charles Stewart Parnell, the party was able to force British governments after 1885 to introduce several home rule bills. The turn of the century witnessed a surge of interest in Irish nationalism, including the founding of Sinn Fein ("Ourselves Alone") as an open political movement.
Nationalism was and is a potent populist force in Irish politics. A home rule bill passed in 1914, but its implementation was suspended until war in Europe ended. Believing the mantra: "England's problem is Ireland's opportunity," and tapping into a mood of Gaelic revivalism, Padraic Pearse and James Connolly led the unsuccessful Easter Rising of 1916. Pearse and the other 1916 leaders declared an independent Irish republic, but a lack of popular support doomed the rebellion, which lasted a week and destroyed large portions of Dublin. The decision by the British military government to execute the leaders of the rebellion, coupled with the British Government's threat of conscripting the Irish to fight in the Great War, alienated public opinion and produced massive support for Sinn Fein in the 1918 general election. Under the leadership of Eamon de Valera, the elected Sinn Fein deputies constituted themselves as the first Dail. Tensions only increased: British attempts to smash Sinn Fein ignited the Anglo-Irish War of 1919-1921.
The end of the war brought the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921, which established the Irish Free State of 26 counties within the British Commonwealth and recognized the partition of the island into Ireland and Northern Ireland, though supposedly as a temporary measure. The six predominantly Protestant counties of northeast Ulster--Northern Ireland--remained a part of the United Kingdom with limited self-government. A significant Irish minority repudiated the treaty settlement because of the continuance of subordinate ties to the British monarch and the partition of the island. This opposition led to further hostilities--a civil war (1922-23), which was won by the pro-treaty forces.
In 1932, Eamon de Valera, the political leader of the forces initially opposed to the treaty, became Prime Minister, and a new Irish constitution was enacted in 1937. The last British military bases were soon withdrawn, and the ports were returned to Irish control. Ireland was neutral in World War II. The government formally declared Ireland a republic in 1948; however, it does not normally use the term "Republic of Ireland," which tacitly acknowledges the partition, but refers to the country simply as "Ireland."
Ireland is a sovereign, independent, democratic state with a parliamentary system of government. The president, who serves as chief of state in a largely ceremonial role, is elected for a 7-year term and can be re-elected only once. In carrying out certain constitutional powers and functions, the president is aided by the Council of State, an advisory body. On the Taoiseach's (prime minister's) advice, the president also dissolves the Oireachtas (Parliament).
The prime minister is elected by the Dail (lower house of Parliament) as the leader of the political party, or coalition of parties, which wins the most seats in the national elections, held approximately every 5 years (unless called earlier). Executive power is vested in a cabinet whose ministers are nominated by the Taoiseach and approved by the Dail.
The bicameral Oireachtas (Parliament) consists of the Seanad Eireann (Senate) and the Dail Eireann (House of Representatives). The Seanad is composed of 60 members--11 nominated by the prime minister, 6 elected by the national universities, and 43 elected from panels of candidates established on a vocational basis. The Seanad has the power to delay legislative proposals and is allowed 90 days to consider and amend bills sent to it by the Dail, which wields greater power in Parliament. The Dail has 166 members popularly elected to a maximum term of 5 years under a complex system of proportional representation. A member of the Dail is known as a Teachta Dala, or TD.
Judges are appointed by the president on nomination by the government and can be removed from office only for misbehavior or incapacity and then only by resolution of both houses of Parliament. The ultimate court of appeal is the Supreme Court, consisting of the chief justice and five other justices. The Supreme Court also can decide upon the constitutionality of legislative acts if the president asks for an opinion.
Local government is by elected county councils and--in the cities of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Waterford--by county borough corporations. In practice, however, authority remains with the central government.
Irish politics remain dominated by the two political parties that grew out of Ireland's bitter 1922-23 civil war. Fianna Fail was formed by those who opposed the 1921 treaty that partitioned the island. Although treaty opponents lost the civil war, Fianna Fail soon became Ireland's largest political party. Fine Gael, representative of the pro-treaty forces, remains the country's second-largest party. The Progressive Democrats, Labour, Sinn Fein, and the Greens are the other significant parties. In the 2002 general elections, "Independent" TDs began to emerge as a political force, with 14 "Independent" TDs elected to the Dail.
The May 2002 national elections returned Fianna Fail and its coalition partner, the Progressive Democrats, to power. Prime Minister Ahern was re-elected Taoiseach and Mary Harney was reappointed as Tanaiste (Deputy Prime Minister).
Local and European elections were held in June 2004, along with a referendum on citizenship. Ireland currently grants citizenship through birth on Irish soil, making Irish citizenship laws among the most liberal in the European Union (EU). Concerns about security and social welfare abuse prompted the government to seek to bring citizenship laws into line with the more restrictive policies prevalent in the rest of Europe, and the measure passed by a wide majority.
Northern Ireland
Consolidating the peace process in Northern Ireland and encouraging the full implementation of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA) remain U.S. priorities in Ireland.
The conflict in Northern Ireland stems from a history of British rule, historical animosity between Catholics and Protestants, and the various armed and political attempts to unite Northern Ireland with the rest of the island. "Nationalist" and "republican" groups seek a united Ireland, while "unionists" and "loyalists" want Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom. After decades of violence by both republican and unionist paramilitaries, most notably the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the British and Irish governments negotiated an IRA ceasefire in 1994, which was followed by the landmark U.S.-brokered Good Friday Agreement (GFA) in 1998.
The GFA established a power-sharing legislative assembly to serve as the autonomous local government of Northern Ireland. The 108-member Northern Ireland Assembly is led by a first minister and deputy first minister, one from each of the two communities, and a 10-minister executive. The GFA also provided for changes in both the British and Irish constitutions. Ireland ceded territorial claim to Northern Ireland, and the U.K. agreed that Northern Ireland could become part of Ireland if a majority (north and south) so voted in the future. Finally, the GFA provides the blueprint for "normalization," to include the eventual removal of British forces, devolution of police and justice functions, and guarantees of human rights and equal opportunity for all individuals. The agreement was approved in a referendum by 71% of Northern Ireland voters and 95% of Irish voters.
The major political parties in Northern Ireland are the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), Sinn Fein, the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), and the Social Democratic and Labor Party (SDLP). The UUP and SDLP are centrist unionist and republican parties, respectively, while Sinn Fein is strongly republican and the DUP is strongly unionist. From the time the Assembly was created in 1998 until 2003, the UUP and SDLP were the governing parties.
In October 2002, the British Government suspended (for the fourth time) the Assembly, following a breakdown in trust between unionists and republicans. The British and Irish Governments began discussions with the parties to try to resolve longstanding unresolved differences between the communities, and to secure a commitment from Sinn Fein that republicans would divest themselves of all paramilitary activities and capabilities.
Efforts to restore the political process in time to stage new elections to the Assembly in May 2003 broke down when the two governments concluded they did not have sufficient assurances from the republicans. However, the governments proceeded to publish a joint declaration, mapping out the timetable to full implementation of the GFA. The governments also created an International Monitoring Commission to serve as a forum to hear complaints of alleged breaches of GFA commitments by the political parties and/or by British authorities. The four-member commission includes a representative from the United States. It issued its first report in April 2004, in which it criticized republican and loyalist paramilitary groups for illegal activities.
The British and Irish Governments attempted in October 2003, and again in the fall of 2004, to conclude a deal with the parties to restore government, but failed to reach agreement. However, elections to the suspended Assembly went forward in November 2003; these elections turned the more moderate UUP and SDLP out of power and installed the strongly unionist DUP and strongly republican Sinn Fein. The Assembly remains suspended, as the DUP refuses to enter into dialogue or government with Sinn Fein until the IRA conclusively ends all paramilitary activities and decommissions its weapons. The British and Irish Governments are engaged in ongoing efforts with the parties to restore the political process and restore devolved government. In July 2005, the IRA unilaterally announced that it would end its "armed struggle" and rely upon solely peaceful and democratic means to achieve its goal. The British, Irish, and U.S. Governments lauded this announcement. The Independent International Commission on Decommissioning (IICD) confirmed in September 2005 that the IRA had effectively put its weapons "beyond use," hailed as an historic step by the British, Irish, and U.S. Governments. Unionist political leaders have taken a more skeptical approach. They have questioned the reliability of the IICD's determination and will require a suitable waiting period before they will consider entering government with Sinn Fein.
The United States supports the efforts of the British and Irish Governments to restore the democratic process in Northern Ireland and to fully implement the GFA. The U.S. remains engaged in dialogue with all parties, in coordination with our Embassies in Dublin and London, our Consulate in Belfast, and the office of the President's Special Envoy for Northern Ireland.
The United States also continues to provide funding ($18.5 million in 2005) for projects administered under the International Fund for Ireland, created in 1986 to generate economic opportunity and cross-community engagement in the border areas, both north and south.
Principal Government Officials
President--Mary McAleese
Taoiseach (Prime Minister)--Bertie Ahern
Tanaiste (Deputy Prime Minister) and Minister of Health and Children--Mary Harney
Ambassador to the United States--Noel Fahey
The Irish Embassy in the United States is at 2234 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20008 (tel. 202-462-3939/40/41/42). Irish Consulates are located in New York, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco.
Ireland boasts a vibrant, globalized economy, with GDP per capita second only to Luxembourg's in the EU. The "Celtic Tiger" period of the mid-late 1990s saw several years of double-digit GDP growth, driven by a progressive industrial policy that boosted large-scale foreign direct investment and exports. In recent years, Ireland has experienced more moderate growth, coupled with price levels above the EU average. The 2003 world economic slowdown affected Ireland as real GDP growth slowed to 3.7% and the government budget fell into deficit. The economy strengthened in 2004, however, with a small government surplus and real GDP growth of just above 5%.
In 2004, U.S. exports to Ireland were valued at $8.2 billion, less than a third of the value of Irish exports to the U.S. ($27.4 billion). The range of U.S. products includes electrical components, computers and peripherals, drugs and pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and livestock feed. Irish exports to the United States represent approximately 20% of all Irish exports. The U.S. is Ireland's second-largest export destination--second only to the U.K. Exports to the United States include alcoholic beverages, chemicals and related products, electronic data processing equipment, electrical machinery, textiles and clothing, and glassware. In 2004, Irish exports to the United States rose by 6% compared to 2003, while Irish imports from the United States rose by roughly 1%.
In 2004, the United States contributed $18.5 million to the International Fund for Ireland, a program that supports cross-border initiatives, cross-community reconciliation, and economic development.
U.S. investment has been particularly important to the growth and modernization of Irish industry over the past 25 years, providing new technology, export capabilities, and employment opportunities. Ireland, with 1% of the European Union's (EU's) population, attracted 8% of all U.S. investment in Europe in 2003. In 2004, there was $10.5 billion worth of new U.S. investment in Ireland, more than twice the U.S. investment flow to China. Currently, there are more than 570 U.S. subsidiaries, employing approximately 90,000 people and spanning activities from manufacturing of high-tech electronics, computer products, medical supplies, and pharmaceuticals to retailing, banking and finance, and other services.
Many U.S. businesses find Ireland an attractive location to manufacture for the EU market, since it is inside the EU customs area. Government policies are generally formulated to facilitate trade and inward direct investment. The availability of a young, educated, mobile, English-speaking work force has also been an important factor, though wage increases over the past five years have significantly exceeded the EU average. Ireland offers good long-term growth prospects for U.S. companies under an innovative financial incentive program, including capital grants and low corporation income tax rates.
Ireland is a member of numerous international organizations, including the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the European Union.
U.S. relations with Ireland have long been based on common ancestral ties and on similar values and political views. These relations, however, have now broadened and matured, given the substantial U.S. corporate involvement in the Irish economy. The United States seeks to maintain and strengthen the traditionally cordial relations between the people of the United States and Ireland.
Economic and trade relations are an important element of the bilateral relationship. U.S. investment has been a major factor in the growth of the Irish economy, and Irish membership in the European Union means that discussion of EU trade and economic policies, as well as other aspects of EU policy, are a key element in exchanges between the two countries.
Emigration, long a vital element in the U.S.-Irish relationship, declined significantly with Ireland's economic boom in the 1990s. For the first time in its modern history, immigration to Ireland, especially of non-Europeans, is a growing phenomenon with political, economic, and social consequences. However, Irish citizens do continue the common practice of taking temporary residence overseas for work or study, mainly in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere in Europe, before returning to establish careers in Ireland.

I'm pissed. If you read this blog during the majors then you know I usually do a post called 'HE SAID/SHE SAID'. It's pretty popular with readers. Personally, I find it interesting to read through the post-match transcripts and pull quotes I think you guys might find interesting/funny/insightful/whatevah. And, usually, the quotes aren't the ones the mainstream media pulls for their stories because they 1) are going to be everywhere anyway 2) usually don't give you a real feel for the baller's personality and quirks. They're standard. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't serve the purposes of this blog or give you guys anything new to explore.
After the first day of play I went to the usual place on the RG site to begin reading transcripts. All I came up were the videos which had been edited. I thought they would post later, but when I went back to check they were not there. Next day, the same, and so on. Well, today, it came to light that the International Tennis Writers Association (ITWA) and a number of journalists sent in a request to the Roland Garros tourney organizers to stop posting the transcripts on their website. AND THEY COMPLIED. The blog Any Given Surface has a nice write-up about it and, in the comments sections, posted a email response from Sandra Harwitt, a member of the ITWA, explaining her views on the issue.
Of course, it got really REAL on Twitter with people completely and understandably outraged, including myself, about this action. Even the journos heard it from everyone with one, in particular, have a bit of a meltdown.
To me, this is censorship - a handful of people deciding what the masses get to read/hear about in the pressers. We're all getting screwed.
Listen, I understand there aren't many journos/media being sent to tourneys due to the economic times. So if this is the case, wouldn't it makes sense to find another way to get the interviews/quotes out such as feeding them to smaller websites, bloggers, social media outlets, etc.? Or what about a 24/48 hour embargo on the transcripts? How would either of these options hurt the tourney? But, in the end, it's all about control of information. The mainstream media want to horde the quotes for their own means and decide what we, the fans, get to read. Apparently, if others get to utilize the transcripts then their jobs will be in danger by - gasp! - a blogger or a tweeter. So they make a request to ban it all together and the RG tourney agrees. You know, compromise is usually a better option than censorship.
UPDATE: Here's the what the RG site said - "We are very sorry, we have been asked by the International Tennis Writers Association not to release transcripts of post-match interviews this year, so as not to disadvantage reporters here at the French Open. You can find many of the relevant quotes in the articles posted on our website." There's been talk they may change their decision because of all of the complaints.

(UPDATED) Roland Garros officials ban posting of transcripts - isn't that called 'censorship'?
I'm pissed. If you read this blog during the majors then you know I usually do a post called 'HE SAID/SHE SAID'. It's pretty popular with readers. Personally, I find it interesting to read through the post-match transcripts and pull quotes I think you guys might find interesting/funny/insightful/whatevah. And, usually, the quotes aren't the ones the mainstream media pulls for their stories because they 1) are going to be everywhere anyway 2) usually don't give you a real feel for the baller's personality and quirks. They're standard. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't serve the purposes of this blog or give you guys anything new to explore.

Yeah man...ReplyDelete
that sucks big time!
I reported that on the survey I was asked to fill in.
What if you cannot see videos ...
I actually prefer reading the interviews.
And the videos have been edited - so we don't get the entire thing. But I think it's besides the point. The ITWA and those other journos specifically requested a ban on the transcripts. They're trying to control e.g. censor that stream of information. Wrong.ReplyDelete

I think they're more afraid of losing their trips to Paris to cover it in person than losing their jobs. The truth is, they could report from their living rooms if transcripts were online, if they had to, and news organizations would probably love to save some money on sending reporters around the world. Great post, thank you for summarizing the action and getting the word out there. Love your blog.ReplyDelete
Thanks. Very good point - yes, if need be they could do their job from their couch. And, if many of these news outlets aren't sending their reporters around the world then they're relying on the transcripts like me. So maybe I am taking that job since it's what I do most of the time, too: Sitting in my parent's basement reading transcripts all day.ReplyDelete
I posted this on Twitter earlier this morning: "My non-blogger, just-a-fan-opinion that nobody asked for: Agreement for all tournaments in this digital age has always been a 24-48 hour delay for said transcripts so that accredited journalists can hit their deadlines and readers first. To control ALL information being released to anybody in the public sector (fans and bloggers alike) smacks of both censorship and elitism." As you can see, I agree with you 100%. It will be interesting to see how this plays out at other tournaments...ReplyDelete

Good post on the controversy. Not sure if you've seen the film "The Boys are Back" with Clive Owen but in the film he plays a tennis journo, who, because he's trying to take care of his kids, actually pretends to cover the AO live, but is actually stuck at his house.
As far as the ban goes, this has been expected for awhile but I agree that maybe after three days, it shouldn't be a problem to post the transcripts on the RG site. We'll see what happens.
this is bull especially with many reporters' knack of editing and misinterpreting players' statements to weave their own story. for instance, last year at wimbledon federer was made to appear a sore loser to berdych in many articles but when i read the transcripts there was really nothing wrong with what fed said. and again jus the other day some articles featured fed to be "complaining" unreasonably about the balls, when in fact not only he has said something the balls, the untimely changing of which is really strange.ReplyDelete

Moving away from England, often arrogantly referred to as the 'home of football' despite it also being the hovel of international underachievement, I was concerned that I would be alienated from my favourite sport. I was worried it would be drowned out by the swishing and clicking noises of ice hockey and repeated shouts of 'FOOTBALL!' during NFL broadcasts.
That didn't happen though. I found Opera Bob's Public House, a bar which doubles up as the base for Toronto's Manchester City supporters' club. Toronto FC's underachievement was interesting for a while too, until I got fed up with the wind that whips around the stadium from Lake Ontario, which is raw with cold and full of insects.
Then came Euro 2012. That's when I realised that when it comes to international competition, Toronto is the best place to watch football.
It's where I learned to wish misfortune on the Portuguese national team. I live in Little Portugal, and the way many of the locals celebrate wins by getting in their cars and beeping horns was initially charming, but now immensely irritating. When your latest short story is being punctuated by the continuous pipping outside it's time to stop work.
Up the street is Little Italy, where I saw gli azzurri get stuffed by a relentless Spain in a packed supermarket car park. Some Spanish fans work in packs and will land in a different, unsuspecting bar each game. There are Brazilian areas, Korean, Croatian – name a country represented in this year's World Cup and there is at least a bar, more likely a neighbourhood, dedicated to it. Something I like to take advantage of.
Therefore, after Manchester City were dumped out of the Champions' League by Barcelona I needed some respite, some change of scenery; a place to overcome my grief. Greek Town.
Olympiakos were pitted against City's arch rivals Manchester United, and in a bid to show our support for the Piraeus team three friends and I went to their official supporters' club at the intersection of Pape and Danforth, the heart of Greek Town.
The bar was intimidatingly packed with Greek expatriates, most of whom sported that unimpressed frown that many men develop with age, and there was a huge 'MEMBERS ONLY' sign nailed above where you enter the bar. Instead, the four of us – Ecuadorian Esme, Jason from a German background, Vancouverite Kael from a Scottish background, and my English self – were applauded when we took off our jackets to unveil Manchester City shirts, and then made to feel like lost family members.
After donating a Manchester City scarf to their supporters' club, four Olympiakos t-shirts and four bottles of beer were dumped on our table. Then the club president bought us a round. Then the owner. Then another owner. It turned out there were a few owners. The shots of Ouzo came out. Money had to be thrust into their hands at the end as they refused to take it.
There are so many bars and neighbourhoods in Toronto dominated by different nationalities, but in each one you can count on a warm greeting. So unless you're going to Brazil this summer, where is there a better place to watch the World Cup?

Happy Thanksgiving
Note – This blog entry comes from Royals vice president of community affairs & publicity, Toby Cook, who's enjoying the Thanksgiving break with family.
Hey, it's cold in Kansas City finally. The Plaza lights are either being warmed up or already on, depending on when you're reading this post. I like turkey leftovers, but I like meaningful Big 12 football games and pie more. And I like what this week means more than all of that: spending time with family and friends and being thankful for things you often take for granted.
Joe Posnanski, the fine and honest columnist for the Kansas City Star, lists the things he's thankful for each year. I can't remember if it's Thanksgiving or New Year's. But here's a few items that come to mind for us in the Royals front office:
We're thankful our fans pay attention to 40-man roster moves in the middle of football and basketball seasons. We're thankful to be getting the largest high-definition video board in the world next season as a part of major renovations to Kauffman Stadium. We're thankful we have guys like general manager Dayton Moore and new field skipper Trey Hillman on our team. They list family and friends as priorities ahead of baseball, and yet they still compete as though finishing anything but number one is unacceptable.
I, for one, am thankful for Lora, Ben, Betty, Joy, Josh, Megan, Precious, and Byron in my department and all our Royals associates, full-time and seasonal. Megan, by the way, writes most of our blog posts.
From all of us hidden away in an undisclosed location, our temporary offices away from torn-apart Kauffman, may your Thanksgiving break remind you of the many more things to be thankful for that don't always come readily to mind.

Zipp 202 Carbon Road Wheelset - Tubular $0.00
When weight means the difference between winning and losing, Zipp has you covered with its new Zipp 202 Tubular Wheelset. For years, the 202 Tubular has been the wheel of choice on nearly every crucial Grand Tour climbing stage. From Huez, and even to Roubaix, the 202 has delivered podium results for those with true grit and determination. And for the latest iteration of the 202, Zipp's refined 188/V9 rear hub and more efficient spoke lacing pattern have been employed. Basically, this means the best just got even better.
To make the 202 the most decorated climbing wheel in the world, Zipp gave it one of the most efficient strength-to-weight ratios on the planet. With an intelligent unidirectional, carbon fiber layup, the 202 is rigid enough to respond directly to power. But, at a svelte 1140g set weight, they're light enough to translate that power to pure climbing prowess. Overall, the design provides responsiveness and stiffness rarely accredited to a 32mm deep wheelset. However, this isn't solely attributable to carbon fiber alone. It all comes down to the 202's toroidal rim shape.
Don't worry if you don't know what a "toroidal rim shape" is — it's been a while since our last geometry class, too. Here's an easy explanation. Whereas a traditional aluminum rim follows a "V" shape from the spokes to the rim bed, a toroidal shape follows more of a "U" shape. It sounds elementary, and perhaps a bit fussy, but the benefits are staggering. With the 202's design, Zipp is able to tune the brake track width independently of the rim's maximum width — that's why the 101 is touch narrower at the rim (22.56 to 22.61mm). Having the freedom to choose where the widest point on the rim needs to reside on the section allows the modifications necessary for Zipp to increase braking power, improve aerodynamics, and decrease crosswind sensitivity. Even today, this shape is the basis for the venerable Firecrest crest technology that's applied to Zipp's carbon lineup. Basically, all of these improvements simply make a faster, stiffer, and lighter wheel.
For the build, Zipp used its proprietary 88 hub on the front and the new 188/V9 on the rear. This new hub design has larger precision Swiss steel bearings for increased durability, and it provides an increase in lateral stiffness over its predecessor by more evenly spreading load over the axle. According to Zipp, this new bearing/cartridge system also delivers a 25% increase in torsional stiffness compared to the leading competitive hubs currently available. The wheels still receive an 18/24 Sapim X-Ray spoke configuration, but on the rear wheel, Zipp moved from a radial non-drive side and two-cross lacing drive side pattern to its new "virtual three cross" lacing configuration on both sides. Zipp uses the word "virtual" here to describe the manner in which one spoke doesn't actually contact the other two spokes it crosses. The result is a stiffer overall construction that more effectively transfers power directly to the rear wheel, which is crucial for those out-of-the-saddle sprints and climbs.
The Zipp 202 Tubular Wheelset is available in the color Black. It's a 700c size, and it ships with your choice of a Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo 11-speed compatible freehub body. Zipp has also provided its new Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads. Please consult with the official Zipp website for a list of approved brake pads.
Please that Zipp does not recommend the 202s for riders exceeding 225lb.

DeKalb, IL (Sports Network) - The Northern Illinois Huskies bounced back from
their 25-point performance against Eastern Michigan last Saturday to earn a
67-65 win over the Kent State Golden Flashes in a Mid-American Conference
clash at the Convocation Center.
Abdel Nader was the only player for the Huskies (5-14, 3-4 MAC) to score in
double-figures, scoring 26 points while adding 11 rebounds. Daveon Balls
dished out a game-high seven assists for NIU, which had lost four of its
previous five games.
Darren Goodson recorded a double-double for the Golden Flashes (11-10, 2-5),
with 18 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 7-of-11 from the field. Kris
Brewer was a perfect 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, adding 14 points in
the fourth consecutive loss for Kent State.
NIU led 34-27 at the break after shooting 12-of-25 (.480) from the field in
the opening 20 minutes. The Golden Flashes were 0-of-10 from 3-point range in
the first half
Kent State was able to make 6-of-14 3-point attempts in the second half and
outscored NIU 38-33 in the frame, but Nader hit a jumper with five seconds
left on the clock to put the Huskies up by two. Randal Holt's shot at the
buzzer did not fall for the Golden Flashes.
Kent State was just 4-of-24 from beyond the arc, while the Huskies made good
on 7-of-13 attempts from long range.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Another big name in University of Missouri athletics heads across campus with real-world lessons for business students.
Men's basketball coach Frank Haith is this year's Trulaske College of Business executive-in-residence. He was scheduled to speak Thursday afternoon in Cornell Hall on "Uncaged Leadership."
He follows Missouri athletic director Mike Alden, who gave a similar leadership lecture at the business school in December.
Haith coached Missouri to a 30-5 season and a Big 12 Conference tournament title in his first season in Columbia. The Tigers recently spent 10 days in western Europe for a five-game exhibition tour.
