In Re Adoption of C.B.M.: Adoption Must Be Set Aside When Termination Order Is Reversed
In a recent opinion handed down by the Supreme Court of Indiana, the adoption of twin children was set aside after a reversal of the termination of the birth mother's parental rights. In re Adoption of C.B.M., ---N.E.2d ----, (Ind. 2013).
C.B.M. and C.R.M., fraternal twins who were determined to be children in need of services were removed from their natural mother's home in 2006. Id. at *1. Approximately eighteen months later, the termination of parental rights (TPR) proceedings began and were granted six months later "over the strong objections of the twins' guardian ad litem." Id. The natural mother promptly appealed the judgment. Id. A few months later, the foster parents petitioned to adopt the children and the petition was granted approximately ten weeks after that. Id. However, after a couple of months had passed, the court of appeals reversed the judgment terminating the birth mother's parental rights. Id.
The dispute in the supreme court centered on two issues: "whether the adoption mooted Natural Mother's TPR appeal because of her failure to seek a stay of the TPR judgment pending appeal," and "whether letting the Twins be adopted without Natural Mother's notice or consent violated her Due Process rights." Id. at *3. The court considered the situation "no-win" but eventually concluded that the "no-consent adoption that followed on [the] heels" of the TPR judgment "became voidable;" thus the trial court abused its discretion in failing to set aside the adoption. Id. at *8.
The Indiana Supreme Court held that the birth mother was not required to file a stay of the TPR action "to preserve a meaningful appellate remedy" and that the birth mother was "entitled to relief from the adoption judgment when the TPR was 'reversed or otherwise vacated' on appeal." Id. at *5-6.

Overseas adoptions rise -- for black American children
From CNN:
Elisa van Meurs grew up with a Polish au pair, speaks fluent Dutch and English and loves horseback riding -- her favorite horse is called Kiki but she also rides Pippi Longstocking, James Bond, and Robin Hood.
She plays tennis and ice hockey, and in the summer likes visiting her grandmother in the Swiss Alps.
"It's really nice to go there because you can walk in the mountains and you can mountain bike ... you can see Edelweiss sometimes," said the 13-year-old, referring to the famous mountain flower that blooms above the tree line.
It's a privileged life unlike that of her birth mother, a woman of African American descent from Indianapolis who had her first child at age 15. Her American family is "really nice but they don't have a lot of money to do stuff," said Elisa, who met her birth mother, and two siblings in 2011. "They were not so rich."
While the number of international adoptions is plummetting-- largely over questions surrounding the origin of children put up for adoption in developing countries -- there is one nation from which parents abroad can adopt a healthy infant in a relatively short time whose family history and medical background is unclouded by doubt: The United States.

More on Russian Adoption Ban
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a controversial measure on Friday, December 28 banning the adoption of Russian children by U. S. families. This is a significant blow to those wishing to adopt a child, as Russia is the third most popular country for U. S. citizens to adopt. The law also "bars any political activities by nongovernmental organizations receiving funding from the United States" if the activities could affect Russian interests and "imposes sanctions against U. S. officials thought to have violated human rights." The law goes into effect on January 1.

Online Adoptions
This story, featured recently on an airing of NPR's Morning Edition, spotlights the growing trend of online adoption. More and more birth mothers are taking to the internet to find prospective parents for their unborn children. As a result, traditional adoption agencies have had to deal with increasingly long client waitlists; some agencies are even advising their clients to create an online presence to help bolster their chances of finding a child faster. Supporters of this avenue say it is less expensive, faster, and a better way for parents to get involved in the adoption process. Skeptics are worried about the lack of screening and the ease of birth parents being scammed and conned.

Stalled Adoptions
From the New York Times:
The Carrs are among the 4,000 Americans who found themselves stuck in limbo when Guatemala shut down its international adoption program in January 2008 amid mounting evidence of corruption and child trafficking. Officials here and in Washington promised at the time to process the remaining cases expeditiously.
But officials and prospective parents say that bureaucratic delays, lengthy investigations and casework hobbled by shortages of staff and resources have left hundreds of children stranded in institutions for years. Today, 150 children — including Geovany — are still waiting in orphanages and foster homes here while the Guatemalan authorities weigh whether to approve their adoptions to families in the United States.

Child Custody Dispute
From ABC News:
A judge has ordered a Utah couple to return their adopted toddler to her biological father after it was revealed that his wife gave up the child without the father's knowledge or permission.
The couple, Jared and Kristi Frei, now has 60 days to return the 21-month-old girl to her father Terry Achane, a U.S. Army drill instructor. But the Freis' lawyer told ABCNews.com that they will not give up the girl, whom they call Leah, and will appeal the judge's ruling.

Adoption Tax Credit
From Bradenton Herald:
November is designated as Adoption Month in Florida.
Special events are happening all over the state to highlight the number of children available for adoption in Florida. In the 12th Circuit, events are centered around a picnic where potential adoptive families have the opportunity to meet and have fun with some of the local children who are available for adoption. On Nov. 16, the circuit will celebrate Adoption Day in the court where 23 children will be adopted into forever families.
Adoption Month presents an opportune time to take action if you are a family thinking of adoption. Private adoption can cost $30,000 or more. Adopting a child from foster care can have minimal or no out-of-pocket cost. On Dec. 31, 2012, the Federal Adoption Tax Credit expires. Families who adopt a child before the 2012 deadline may qualify for a $12,650 tax credit that can be used against a tax liability for up to five years. After Dec. 31, the only tax assistance available will be a $6,000 non-refundable credit for the adoption of a special needs child.

Adoption in the Media
From the Huffington Post:
Diggs moved ahead with the adoption after the 30 days passed and sees Morgan regularly. The show premieres with her story and that of Morgan's two dads on Oct. 30, with other segments featuring other same-sex and heterosexual couples.
The series, produced by Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, coincides with a heart-wrenching account of domestic adoption gone wrong in the October issue of Vogue magazine, headlined "The Long Wait."
New York writer Jennifer Gilmore chronicles her failed attempts to conceive with her husband and their two years of trying to arrange an open adoption, so their baby's biological parents could be part of their lives. The difference: This story's ending wasn't a happy one for the childless couple.

Adoption Subsidies
A new blog post at the Huffington Post, written by Adam Pertman and Georgia Deoudes, highlights the importance of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980. The Act, which requires states to provide subsidies to parents who are forming families through adoption, help a large percentage of low-income households. Nationally, 46% of families adopting from care "are at or below 200% of the poverty level."

Adoptions in MN
From NECN.com:
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota leads the country in the number of international adoptions per capita, but tighter regulations have caused those numbers to drop sharply in recent years.
That's left families adrift and forced one of the state's oldest agencies to scale back on the number of adoptions it arranges.
The number of foreign children adopted by Americans has plummeted from 22,991 in 2004 to 9,319 in 2011, according to U.S. State Department statistics. Minnesota has experienced a similar decline. In 2005, the state reported 923 international adoptions. The number has fallen every year since then, reaching a low of 355 adoptions last year.

Economic Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001
Virgo, John M., Atlantic Economic Journal
The International Atlantic Economic Conference was held in Philadelphia just one month after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and on the Pentagon in Washington, D. C. A plenary panel was held at the conference to discuss the economic impact of the attacks. John M. Virgo, the International Economic Society Executive Vice President, chaired the session made up of panelists William J. Baumol of Princeton and New York Universities, William W. Lang, Deputy Director for Policy Analysis at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Chris P. Varvares, President of Macroeconomic Advisors, and M. Peter van der Hoek from Erasmus University in the Netherlands.
The first panelist, William J. Baumol, provided an overview of the terrorist attacks and their long-term economic impact. The long-run benefits for the economy of the catastrophe are a Keynesian stimulus and a replacement of obsolete facilities thereby improving efficiency and effectiveness.
The second panelist, William W. Lang, analyzed the economic impact of the terrorist attacks on the financial and banking sectors. He addressed concerns over the health and vitality of the banking industry, the immediate and short-term reaction of banking customers, and how the payments clearing and settlements system functioned under such stress.
The third panelist, Chris P. Varvares, evaluated the macroeconomic impacts of the terrorist attacks and the implications for business. A model developed by Macroeconomic Advisors shows the direct effects, immediate knock-on effects, and the medium-term effects on the economy. He evaluated the impact on such measures as capital stock, risk premiums, consumer confidence, fiscal policy response, and tax policy.
The last panelist, M. Peter van der Hoek, provided the European view of the impact of the attacks on public finance and polcy. Since September 11, political coalitions in Europe have changed and the U. S. has brought political and economic pressure to bear in order to build a coalition with other countries to fight terrorism. New allies in the war on terrorism expect to be rewarded for siding with the U. S. The world economy is now more integrated then ever before. With central banks on both sides of the Atlantic moving to stimulate their economies, it is hoped that the economic downturn will be short.
Much has happened to the economy since the October conference. The original introductory remarks have been expanded to bring the reader more recent economic information to help place the panel discussion into a clearer perspective.
Consumer Confidence
Before September 11 the economy was already slowing down, leaving it vulnerable to the direct and indirect effects caused by the September 11 attacks. The index of leading economic indicators showed a deteriorating economy in the month before the attacks, falling 0.1 percent for August. Second quarter GDP figures reinforced concerns that the country was in a downward spiral, showing a mere 0.3 percent growth rate for the April-June period. Consumer confidence plunged in September to the lowest in five years, sinking to 97.6, compared to 114.0 the previous month. This was the largest one-month point drop since the 1990 Persian Gulf War.
At the same time, there were large swings in stock prices and options, an increasing gap between short- and long-term interest rates, falling airfares, and rising insurance premiums. The estimates of risks were quickly being repriced, further adding to a depressed economy. The insurance, airline, banking, travel, and services industries were repriced because of the higher costs of doing business due to the threat of terrorism. It was not just these industries that were affected. A trickle-down effect occurred for companies upgrading security systems and backing up their computer systems at offices and businesses throughout the nation. …

To the Editor.—
The clinical value of a laboratory test depends on more than just a statistically significant difference between two test groups. Grimm et al1 may have overemphasized the prognostic importance of the white blood cell count for coronary heart disease. The unwary may be misled into believing that a blood cell count can actually identify persons at risk.When the test groups are large, even minor differences may be statistically significant. For example, in one study of about 1,300 healthy subjects,2 there was a small but highly significant sex difference in the platelet count (P<.0001). Even so, there are better ways than a platelet count to separate the girls from the boys!

If you're someone who is always looking for a new and creative way to impress your friends – or if you just want to get your kids to eat healthier – this easy-as-pie 'apple swan' is a trick you need in your back pocket.
Grant Thompson, AKA "The King Of Random" posted this awesome tutorial to his YouTube page and it's been watched over 2 million times, so you know it's good. In just a few simple and easy steps, Thompson shows us how to create a beautiful swan using only an apple and a knife.
When I first came across this video, I thought it looked so complex to make. I was shocked to see how easy it was to make something so unique. In my opinion, this creation is WAY sweeter than a normal origami swan. I don't even know if I could eat this beauty… it's too spectacular!

Protocol compliant web socket server with some awesome extras.
Wesley is a protocol compliant web socket server with some awesome extras.
$ npm install wesley
var server = require'wesley'listen3000; serveron'connection' // Relay data to all clients on the server clienton'data' serverwritedata; ; ;
Sometimes it's necessary to maintain logical pools of clients (AKA namespaces, rooms, topics, etc).
var server = require'wesley'listen3000; serveron'connection' // Relay data to the current pool of clients clienton'data' poolwritedata; ; ;
The default pooling strategy separates clients based on the path they connect to.
ws://localhost:3000/ # Server and / eventsws://localhost:3000/pool # Server and /pool eventsws://localhost:3000/pool/child # Server and /pool/child events
This behavoiur can be overridden by passing in your own handler. The callback expects to be called with the name of the pool to join.
var callback'pool-name';;var server = require'wesley'listen3000poolpooling; serveron'connection' // Handle the client clientwrite'You\'ve just joined the ' + poolname + ' pool.'; ;
By default, a Wesley client will emit
data for every message sent from the client.
You can entirely replace this behaviour at your leisure.
var emit'message' data;;var server = require'wesley'listen3000ininbound; serveron'connection' clienton'message' // Handle the message ; ;
This also means you could handle more complicated messages than simple strings.
var var data = JSONparsejson; emit'data' data;;var server = require'wesley'listen3000ininbound; serveron'connection' clienton'data' // Handle the data ; ;
Wesley clients inherit from EventEmitter2, so even more complex events can be listened to.
var var data = JSONparsejson; emit'client' datatype data;;var server = require'wesley'listen3000ininbound; serveron'connection' clienton'client' 'message' // Handle data with `data.type === message` ; clienton'client' '*' // Handle all client data ; ;
In much the same way as handling inbound messages, you can also handle outbound messages.
var var packed = JSONstringifytype:type body:message; emitpacked;;var server = require'wesley'listen3000outoutbound; serveron'connection' // Send data to the client clientwrite'message' 'Derp.'; ;
As Wesley is a web socket server, it uses a socket transport by default.
You can create custom transports by extending
It is the job of the transport to proxy events listened to by the client
or server. Please see the documentation for more detail (Coming soon).
Once you have a client, using it is simple.
var wesley = require'wesley';var server = // An array of transports ; serveron'connection' // Client wraps the the transport the connection came through clientwrite'Derp.'; ;
I can tell you're super excited to start working on your web socket server. One thing you may find useful is a client to start interacting with. This command line client will hopefully give you what you need to get started.
$ wesley --help Usage: wesley [options] Options: -h, --help output usage information -V, --version output the version number -u, --uri <string> host address -p, --protocol <integer> web socket protocol Default: wesley --uri ws://localhost:3000 --protocol 13

Mumbai, July 17 (IANS) (IANS) Manjari Phadnis, who played the second lead opposite debutant Imran in the hit flick 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Naa', said she was not producer Aamir Khan's choice as he had his reservations in casting her for the role.
'Aamir did not want to cast me. I was the only one among the entire cast who was not approved by Aamir. But director Abbas Tyrewala was adamant to cast me,' Manjari told IANS.
'Almost 400 girls were auditioned for the role of Meghna and Abbas thought I fitted it the best. Finally Aamir agreed,' said the 24-year-old-actress who debuted with 'Rok Sako To Rok Lo' in 2004.
While 'Jaane Tu...' launched Aamir's nephew Imran as an actor, it is also Abbas' first outing as a director. And Manjari says that Aamir didn't interfere much as he was busy with his directorial debut.
'Aamir left everything to Abbas as he was busy shooting for 'Taare Zameen Par' during that time. He used to come to the sets for a while and I did not have any long interaction with him during the entire shooting schedule.'
But when Aamir saw the final product, he was impressed by Manjari's work.
'I was overwhelmed when he appreciated my work after seeing the film. It was a great achievement to get a compliment from a person like Aamir, who is one of the biggest superstars of the country.'
Manjari said it was a life time opportunity for a newcomer like her to work with Aamir Khan productions.
'People like me, who do not come from a film background, have to struggle a lot for a good banner and a right film. I really thank Aamir for giving me the opportunity.'
Manjari's career slumped after her debut film 'Rok Sako To Rok Lo' bombed at the box office. In last four years, she did a few films in the south and one Hindi movie titled 'Mumbai Salsa'.
'Though my films did not do well, the roles excited me. I was patient and did not accept just anything that came my way.'
Asked why she wasn't seen in any of the pre-release pormotions, she said: 'I was told from the first day that I will be not be there in the promotion and I accepted it. I am happy people saw me as a surprise package.'
But isn't that the normal practiced for big stars? 'Yes, I know but I had to accept it.'
She admits promotion would have worked better for her career, saying: 'Yes, definitely. I would have surely liked if they would have promoted me a bit. But, people have started recognising me after 'Jaane Tu..'.'
Manjari is getting a lot of offers after 'Jaane Tu...'
'I have not finalised any of them. I am doing a couple of films in the south and going through the scripts that came my way. I will only sign a film when the story excites me and I have a good role to play.'
Manjari's next release will be a comedy film 'I am 24' which has Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey and Neha Dhupia among others.

Quickstep Amber Cherry Sculptique or Umber Cherry Veresque
Has anyone installed Sculptique Amber Cherry or Veresque Umber Cherry? The Amber Cherry supposedly has high shade variation so I'm curious to see how it might look like installed. I have a fairly small home and am worried that it might look too busy. My second alternative is Umber Cherry which is fairly uniform. If you have pictures that you can share, I'd greatly appreciate it.

TeX Live 2009 Brings Font Updates and Windows TeXworks
TeX Live, a comprehensive collection of software surrounding the TeX/LaTex font systems, is available in the 2009 edition.
The distro includes a new release of the AMS Type 1 fonts that improves hinting and brings with it a few changes made by TeX inventor Donald Knuth over the years. The Euler fonts by typographer Hermann Zapf were also thoroughly reshaped.
The LuaTeX implementation in TeX Live now delivers its wares in PDF by default so as to benefit from its support of OpenType fonts.
The TeXworks GUI program (inspired by the Mac OS X TeXShop editor) is also available as a Windows program in TeX Live 2009. Another addition to the collection is the graphics program Asymptote that runs on multiple platforms.
Further details are in the TeX Live documentation. The TeX distro is available for download as tarball and DVD image. A script for installing over the Internet is also available and recommended by the project. TeX Live that provides TeX, LaTex and associated programs for Linux distros such as Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora can be found in their respective repositories.

Updated DIY LED Lights with Node.js and Backbone.js!
When I originally open sourced Colorpicker, it was a beautiful MVP based on some really nasty legacy code.
I haven't had the time to focus on this project extensively, but over the last year I've made a lot of important improvements and wanted to discuss them briefly in this forum.
I still have several longer term goals for this project, such as eliminating the need for the Arduino entirely so that anyone can run the client on any computer (with an emphasis on low-memory and disk space cases for usage with a Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, or other cheap computer).
I'm going to cover six new features added, but there are many more improvements I've made that you can see more about on Github.

Sensible Development Dotfiles
My Dotfiles repo contains a sensible set of vim, fish, zsh, git, and tmux configuration files that work well for my development workflow (thanks mdp!).
These are a wonderful way to keep track of the plethora of configuration files that you'll undoubtedly set up while working as a developer, and quickly install them on another machine. Nothing like having your environments on your home and work boxes be the same!
If you want a nice baseline of configuration for your .zshrc, .vimrc, .gitconfig, .aliasrc, .tmux.conf, and many others, my dotfiles repo is a very quick setup that allows you to granularly pick exactly the files you want.
I recommend forking my repo to your Github account, cloning to your home directory, and then running the install script.
git clone email@example.com:Lordnibbler/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
# follow the prompts
From here, you can adjust the dotfiles to your liking, keep them up to date, and safely backed up on Github!
Where I've Been Since November 2014 (aka Breaking Your Femur 101)
The Accident
On November 17, 2014 at around 9:30AM, I was involved in a bicycle accident at the intersection of 3rd Street and Market Street in San Francisco. I was traveling northbound on Market Street at around 10 miles per hour as I entered the intersection on a solid green light.
There was a man standing in the middle of market street, and at the very last moment, he stepped directly in front me. I collided with him handlebars-to-chest, and immediately fell to my right side. Despite over 20 years of bicycling, I went against my instinct and stiffened up and put my hand down to my side. My hand and wrist broke much of my fall, and I put a hairline fracture in the scaphoid bone in my right wrist.Continue Reading →

Awesome Git Configuration, Shortcuts, and Aliases
When working with Git, and software in general, the most important thing for me is that the act of using the application blends seamlessly into my workflow. It should feel natural, simple, and shouldn't slow you down.
I've worked with Git for a few years now, and like all things, I've kept track of my favorite tweaks and configurations. I'd like to share a few of the most awesome Git shortcuts I use on a daily basis.Continue Reading →

Nestled in the trees, this shady car park is the perfect spot to enjoy a picnic whilst listening to the sounds of woodland wildlife all around.
If you are interested in booking the barbecue site at Anderwood or using your own, please visit click on the link above for further information.
What do other visitors say?
Ivan Foreman, 5/Jun/2015
Hi I would like to book your bbq site for tomorrow evening Saturday 7th of June
Forestry Commission Response
Thank you for your comment. We appologise for not getting back to you, due to delays in comments arriving at this office. For this reason we recommend that all enquiries for barbecues are made at least a week in advance by phoning 0300 067 4640 or e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com as the sites are very popular.
GH, 5/Jun/2015
I would reiterate the previous correspondent's request for a postcode. Since there isn't one for Anderwood, suppose you gave the postcode for a property along that road, or nearest one on the A35, and then say "from that postcode drive half a mile (or whatever) south...". Unfortunately the map reference you give is no good - Googling for it put me in the middle of Salisbury (are you sure it's correct?)
Forestry Commission Response
Thank you for your comment on postcodes. The problem with using postcodes at all in connection with our sites is that they are so vague in rural areas, where even giving the postcode of the nearest property for use by someone using solely a satnav system, can send them wildly off course in any direction. Our experience has shown this causes more confusion. Some satnavs can be set to use the National Grid Ref system and this is far more accurate. Incidentally, we checked the grid ref given for Anderwood and it is correct. I always find it useful when navigating in rural areas to check the Ordnance Survey maps and not rely solely on road atlases or postcode based systems. I prefer to use Bing Maps. If you look at their map options, they offer the Ordnance Survey, which provides a far more detailed layer of information and, when used with the aerial photo views, is a powerful way to locate most things on the ground. I think we all look forward to the time when satnavs use a land based system rather than a postcode based system for rural areas. North Walk Ranger

Forestry Commission Response
Thank you for your comment. The New Forest is a unique and special place, partly due to the fact there is free access. There is definitely a balancing act to be achieved between recreation, conservation and the working forest. The Forestry Commission work alongside numerous other organisations and stakeholders to ensure this balance is maintained.
Please tell us about your visit

Work....I may not be in the right place?!
Monday, January 07, 2013
I am a medical sales rep for an independent company, with no benefits at all. I have had ups and downs with work, especially over the last two years. We lost a major line (due to a buyout) about a year and a half ago, but we were able to still keep a guarantee (minimum amount of pay, due to no benefits) and our gas card. Well, we got our gas card taken away in September last year and in November, they pulled our guarantee. Now I am on commission only. We were supposed to get paid on the 5th, which was this past Saturday. But, no check. I hope we are getting our checks today.
What I am finding is...I really dislike my job. My heart is not in it. It's getting harder and harder to wake up each morning to a job you dislike, and as time passes, that dislike grows and grows. What do I think I want to do? I have started writing, which I do enjoy! But, writing right now is not going to pay my bills.
I am worried if I made enough last month to cover my bills this month and am considering a second job at Starbucks or waitressing. The latter, I really don't want to do. At the same time, I am kinda thinking, maybe I should just find a 9-5p job without stress that will cover my bills and I can write at night and on the weekends?
And...I have looked at other jobs but I have a Masters in Business, which in this job market seems to be the kiss of death. I am "overqualified" for a lot of things, and "underqualified" for others because I don't have a particular, specific experience. I just don't get it....and I used to recruit. We always hired for competency and did well, even if the background of an individual was a bit varied. That apparently is not happening today.
The other glitch...I work for family and have already raided most of my 401k because I was not getting my paychecks on time. Feeling the stress...Am I going to be able to pay bills? Am I going to have to use the last of my 401k? Should I just bail and start looking for a non-stressful job in the mean time? Can I can do a traditional job again since it's been almost 6 years since I reported to an office each day? Not sure what to do, but know it needs to be something.
The one plus here...I haven't eaten my stress this morning! I wanted to, but realized it wasn't food I wanted, it was stress relief. Thanks for listening...

Oh, I'm sorry. I wish I had answers for you. But it does sound like it's time to find something more stable and less stressful. That alone will make you happier!

I think you are wise to be exploring other career options. All signs point to your current employer being in financial difficulties (change in compensation structure, late on payroll...) and you are not feeling appreciated and valued, or able to use your skills. Of course no job is perfect. But -- In lots of jobs, your writing skills will be a real asset. (My brother is currently re-writing manuals and policies for a state agency). Good luck with your job search!
And congratulations on not letting the stress drive you to unhealthy eating.

He's a gentleman and a credit to the sport. For a man his size he shows better than average skill and speed plus he can punch. With that being said he would be going up against arguably the greatest HW champion of all time and let's be honest, Vlad hasn't met anyone remotely close to a prime Ali yet. None of his opponenets to date compare to Ali in speed, ability, stamina and will to win tho that's not Vlads fault. Ali on the other hand has met some of the hardest punchers in the divisions history and beaten them all. Why? Because he has one of the best chins...if not the best chin in the divisions history. Sure he was dropped but never stopped at his best and this is why I feel he would beat Vlad. Combine this with his handspeed and I see a win for Ali. Vlad has a potent right hand but it's the left hook that Ali was most susceptible to being hit with, especially in close ala Joe Frazier...who was NOT feather fisted by the way. What i see happening is Ali's sneaky right lead finding a home as the fight wears on. When it does Vlad increasingly becomes gun shy and Ali smells blood and if I'm right the fight's over from that point on. Boxing is all about styles and Ali I feel would be have an advantage here. Ali by decision or late round stoppage.
But Jim, there is not any decision in this fight under the rules i have stated.
Ali was proven great against big hitters, but let us not remember, he couldnt stop Frazier or Norton, among others. Wlad did seem really lethal when he realised he coudl handle the power of fighters he was facing, see for example against Byrd. I am not saying this would happen with Ali, but it might. And Wlad did carry power into the last rounds. If Ali wasnt careful, he could be caught at any time.
I think the stipulation as another poster suggested has a big bearing on this fight.
By the way, did i post this in General instead of Classic? I cant seem to find the thread in the classic section.

Last week we told you that projections show under the new school report cards most charter schools in the state would get F's. It turns out the Urban 8 districts would perform just as poorly - if not worse - in many areas.
Last week we told you that projections show under the new school report cards most charter schools in the state would get F's.
It turns out the Urban 8 districts would perform just as poorly - if not worse - in many areas.
The new grading system, passed at the end of last year as House Bill 555, replaces the current ranking system, which runs on a scale from "Excellent with Distinction" to "Academic Emergency," into an A-F scale.
Under the new system, districts will be assessed on a variety of criteria including how students perform on standardized tests, how many students graduate on time, and a measure called value added which looks at how students progress academically from one year to the next.
[audio href="http://audio2.ideastream.org/statenews/2010/report_cards_voicer.wav" title="Urban Districts, Charter Schools Would Largely Get F's Under New Report Cards"]The new A-F report cards are supposed to be tougher, officials say.[/audio]
The state report cards coming out in August 2013 will award schools and districts grades in nine areas. But schools and districts will not get a single overall grade until 2015.
Recent projections from the Ohio Department of Education show that under the new report card rules, none of the major Ohio urban public school districts would meet the criteria to get even a D in the report card measure that focuses on state test passing rates. Almost 80 percent of charters would get an F in that category as well.
The projections also show the Urban 8 districts are not expected to meet minimum state standards for graduation rates. That is to say, none of them are expected to graduate more than 79 percent of students within four years.
The major urban districts aren't projected to do well on the new Annual Measurable Objectives (or AMOs) section either. AMOs are will basically take the place of the Adequate Yearly Progress component required under the No Child Left Behind Act. None of the state's Big 8 districts are expected to meet AMO goals, and 74 percent of charter schools are expected to get F's in this field too.
It's no surprise that many schools are expected to drop under the new rankings. The Ohio Department of Education estimates that about three-fourths of districts would see a lower state report card grade if their current level of performance continues.
Ohio Department of Education officials and state legislators have said part of the goal of the new report cards is to make the grading system more rigorous.
You can check out the rest of the projections below.

I'm more negative about the end of Potter. At this point in my depression it just feels like that would be reminiscing on the Potter world than actually living it as we all did that first magical time. And reminiscing on something that once was makes me feel even sadder than before. Of course, I'm not saying I'll never read the books again, they're something I'll re-read and re-read until I die, but right now I just can't bring myself to do it.
1. I think a lot of people want Ravenclaw because as they grow up, they see themselves as sophisticated and smart which is sort of the default view of that house. :P As kids we all probably clung to a different favourite house or thought others were cool. But everyone wants to think they're an academic and wise in the end, haha!
2. Don't feel bad! Yes, the main story of Harry Potter is over now that all the movies have been adapted but... reread the books and you learn something new every time. You can read a chapter and sit for an hour marvelling at all the detail JK Rowling put into the books. You can trawl the HP wiki for information that was in the compilation of the series (books, movies, TCG, video games, interviews, etc.) that you never noticed and there's just... so, so much that I think it'll be years and years before I feel satisfied that I learnt everything I can from that world. /sap
I'm currently filling the void by starting an RP with two of my close RL friends. It's sort of a crack AU about if James Potter didn't die on the night Harry got his scar
because he was in the washroom when Voldemort showed up
so he, Sirius and Lupin end up raising Harry who will probably terrorize the hell out of Snape. It's so much fun thus far. XD;

I put a shortcut to my application in SendTo. Now I can select some files in Explorer and send them to my application. But how can I get the path where the files are? My program is supposed to create a new file in the parent directory that's common to all the received file names.
For example, if I have these files:
C:\one.txt C:\1\
I select the file one.txt and the directory 1 in Explorer. How can I find out that the starting directory for these files is C:\?
I know I can use
ParamStr() to get files' paths, but what then?
I could try to get common directory for all the files passed to my application, but if I select in C:\ directories 1 and 2 and these directories look like this:
C:\1\4\5\one.txt C:\1\4\two.txt
Then the starting directory is C:\1\4.

I received this invite via email and thought I would shar it:
"Join Bicycling magazine for a VIP event starring Chris Carmichael, hosted on Thursday, June 15 at the Tourneau TimeMachine (57th Street at Madison Avenue)
'Tour de France Confidential' will star American cycling's biggest names sharing an insider perspective to what really happens at the world's most grueling and festive sporting event.
Cycling's preeminent champions, coaches and commentators will tell stories of the Tour's intense rivalries, feuds and alliances; hidden tricks from inside the peloton; the physical and mental rigors of racing 2,000 miles in three weeks; and the Tour's circus of off-the-bike diversions. It's behind-the-scenes access typically reserved for racers and their closest confidants.
CHRIS CARMICHAEL is the personal coach to 7-time TdF champion Lance Armstrong and a TdF veteran from the 7-Eleven Cycling Team
BOB ROLL is a 4-time TdF veteran from the original 7-Eleven/Motorola Cycling Team and current cycling commentator for OLN
JONATHAN VAUGHTERS was Lance's teammate on the TdF-winning 1999 USPS team and is Director Sportif for Team TIAA-CREF
The discussion will be led by ESPN cycling analyst JOHN EUSTICE
Tourneau TimeMachine
57th Street at Madison Avenue, NYC
Thursday, June 15 6:00PM
Please RSVP (including your name and number of guests in your party) by June 14 to email@example.com"
