College admissions is already a high-stakes, daunting process. There are so many moving parts students have to deal with: essays, letters of recommendation, financial aid, interviews, standardized testing — not to mention keeping up with high school classes and activities.
So the recent news that some colleges would convolute the process even more by using the "FAFSA position" as a tool without students' knowledge or consent deeply disappointed and saddened me. The issue is that on the federal financial aid application form, students are asked to list colleges to which they may apply, unaware that some institutions use that information to make admissions or financial aid decisions.
In my previous role as a college counselor for Bottom Line (a college access and success program for first-generation, low-income students), I worked with a cohort of high school students from start to finish in their application process. I was there to answer questions, give responsible advice, help make college accessible, and ease the stress of the process. My students were often worried about making mistakes -- as evidenced by the countless frantic phone calls and emails I would receive -- and now I have to wonder if their biggest mistake was trusting that their applications would be reviewed fairly.
I asked several of the students I worked with what they made of the situation.
For Kimberlee Cruz, a student I counseled in high school and college, having to worry about the FAFSA position would have been a huge concern. "It would have stressed me out, to worry that my fifth choice could have given me terrible aid just because I didn't list them first. What if I didn't get into my first choice? Would that mean I would have no options with good aid?"
Financial aid was the most important part of the application process for Cruz, a junior at Worcester State University, as well as the part that was most confusing. "Regardless of the position, you're interested in the school; otherwise, it wouldn't be on your FAFSA."
Most of the students I have worked with wouldn't think twice about the order they listed colleges on the FAFSA. For some, sure, it was probably in the order of their preference, but for others, maybe the order was alphabetical, geographical, FAFSA code numerical (O.K., probably not that last one, but you get the idea).
And why should they think twice? There's not any indication on FAFSA that the order matters or that it will be shared.
Daniel Figueiredo, another former student, was shocked to find out that some colleges use information in this manner. "I think it's completely unethical. To infer something like preference based on a list, it's sneaky and can really mess up someone's future -- it shouldn't be evaluated."
Figueiredo, a senior at Worcester State, said that he applied to a few reach colleges at the last minute, institutions he wasn't sure he could get into but wanted to try. "I thought, what the heck, I'll do it. Maybe I had a chance, but I put them farther down on my FAFSA list since I added them to my list later than some more attainable schools. I did get waitlisted for two of them, and now I'm wondering if the FAFSA position played a role."
What students should focus on with the FAFSA is having accurate information, having all their colleges added, and meeting all of the priority deadlines. Financial aid can be confusing enough for students and their families, and for many, the weight of their future completely rests on the aid packages that schools offer.
Throwing FAFSA position in the mix is another step for applicants to remember, another potential barrier to access. And I wonder, would an alphabetical or random order even make a difference, or would schools interpret the list as preferential anyway?
Maybe it's just me, but a college taking its FAFSA position into consideration for admissions and aid decisions seems like a popularity contest. I know that colleges want to fill their classes, that admissions recruiters have goals to meet, that everyone wants the best and the brightest to want to attend their institution. But holding a FAFSA position against a student -- especially since many students don't realize that something so arbitrary could greatly affect them -- seems in direct opposition to the ultimate goal of getting students to attend and graduate from college.
If FAFSA continues to share this information, colleges engaging in this practice really need to reconsider their position on student access and success. And students thinking about applying to these institutions might want to reconsider as well.
Ali Lincoln is a project director for TVP Communications, a national public relations agency with expertise in higher education.
Brevard College, in North Carolina, has become the latest institution to stop requiring applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores. A statement from President David C. Joyce said: "Numbers rarely tell a student's whole story, and we believe this new holistic approach will open our doors even wider to talented and deserving students who will thrive in Brevard's exceptional academic atmosphere."
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, with a new executive director and more than $700 million at its disposal, embraces technology to help low-income students.
The National Student Clearinghouse on Tuesday released a broad data set on students' transition from high school to college. The nonprofit group's report, which is the second annual installment, tracked 3.5 million students from public and private high schools over four years. It found that students from low-income high schools were more likely to attend community colleges, with almost half of that group's college enrollment being in the two-year sector.
Professors at two South Texas institutions support the creation of a new, combined university, but see recent actions raising questions about job security and faculty roles.
U.S. News and World Report has announced that it will release its first global ranking of universities on Oct. 28. U.S. News plans to publish a global ranking of the top 500 universities across 49 countries, as well as four regional, 11 country-level, and 21 subject area-specific rankings.
The Best Global Universities ranking will be based on reputational data, bibliometric indicators of academic research performance, and data on faculty and Ph.D. graduates. Robert Morse, U.S. News's chief data strategist, said that there will be no cross-over of data between the publication's longstanding ranking of American colleges and the new global ranking, which will rely on data from Thomson Reuters. Thomson Reuters also provides data for the global university ranking compiled by Times Higher Education (THE).
"What we're doing is completely, 100 percent independent from THE," Morse said. "It's our methodology, our choice of variables, our choice of weights, our choice of how the calculations are done, our choice of how the data's going to be presented."
U.S. News is entering into territory dominated by three major global university rankings: those produced by Times Higher, the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy, and QS. "I think it's natural for U.S. News to get into this space," Morse said. "We're well-known in the field for doing academic rankings so we thought it was a natural extension of the other rankings that we're doing."
Morse pointed out that U.S. News will also be the first American publisher to enter the global rankings space (Times Higher and QS are both British, while the Shanghai rankings originate in China). Noting that to date there hasn't been much interest among the general American public in global university rankings (as opposed to U.S.-specific ones), Morse said, "maybe people will pay more attention to the ones we do."
U.S. News and World Report announced Wednesday that some data that two colleges had submitted for the most recent rankings was incorrect. For one of the institutions, Lindenwood University, the correct data would have resulted in a different rating, so the magazine moved the institution to its "unranked" category. In Lindenwood's case, it added the numeral 1 in front of the correct number of alumni donors used in the magazine's calculation of the alumni giving rate. When the correct figure of 2,411 was used, instead of 12,411, the giving rate dropped from 37.5 percent to 11.9 percent. The correction for the other institution -- Rollins College -- did not change its ranking. Rollins had reported admitting 2,233 students, when it really admitted 2,783. That change increased the acceptance rate from 47.2 percent to 58.8 percent.
In recent years, several colleges have admitted to sending U.S. News incorrect data intentionally. But via email, Robert Morse, who leads the rankings effort at U.S. News, said that these were "honest mistakes" caused by "one-off, one-time sloppy reporting."
For both SAT and Advanced Placement tests, gaps remain significant among racial and socioeconomic groups.
A new British Council report forecasting trends in mobility at the graduate (or post-graduate) level through 2024 projects that China and India will continue to fuel growth in the number of outbound graduate students, and that the average annual rate of growth in the number of outbound students from India will exceed that of China. "For destination markets, this [India] is likely to be the real opportunity for inbound student growth over the next decade," the report states.
Other countries that are forecasted to experience high rates of growth in the number of outbound graduate students include Nigeria, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. The report also predicts that the U.S. will remain the No. 1 destination country for internationally mobile master's and Ph.D. students in 2024, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia.

Newport target upset
6 December 2012 11:52am
By Graeme Gillespie
Aberavon face Plymouth Albion in the third round of the British and Irish Cup on Saturday.
Following successive weekends of Friday night action, the Principality Premiership takes a rest for the next fortnight with the British & Irish Cup returning for Rounds 3 and 4.
In what has been an expanded competition for the 2012/13 season, only the winners of each pool progress to the quarter-finals, but despite taking part in what is a hugely competitive competition, a number of Welsh sides are still in with a good chance of progressing to the latter stages, especially Newport, Llandovery, Pontypridd and Llanelli.
Newport face a tough ask at home to pool leaders Newcastle though a win would see them move top. The Black and Ambers have surprised many in the competition so far with wins over Connacht and Gwent rivals Cross Keys.
They now face English Championship leaders Newcastle as they look to cause another upset.
"We're fully aware of how tough it is going to be. They're obviously a fully professional team and it's going to be a tough ask," said Newport head coach Sven Cronk.
"The British & Irish Cup is a competition we have got a good record in. I'm not quite sure why but things seem to go for us and we enjoy playing in it. We've had some good results in the past."
Ahead of the game, Newport have a number of injury problems, particularly up front. Gethin Robinson is out with a torn bicep while 17-year-old prop Alex Jeffries is too young to play under the competition's rules.
This leaves Cronk with few options at tight head with Alan Awcock also out injured though the Newport head coach is remaining positive.
"We're excited about taking on Newcastle, we'll have a decent side out and we'll be as competitive as we can," he added.
Pontypridd are one of three teams who can still qualify from Pool 5. Dale McIntosh's side may be third in the table but are level on points with the two teams above them, Jersey and Leinster.
Ponty travel to bottom side Leeds Carnegie on Sunday and McIntosh knows a win is vital against a team who will provide a stern test.
"They are not a bad side despite being bottom of the pool. They lost to Jersey but that doesn't count for anything," said the Pontypridd head coach.
"We've got to make sure we go up there, travel well and come back with the points. Hopefully we'll be in the mix at the end of the pool if we perform well though we've still got a difficult trip to Leinster to come."
The Sardis Road club head north on the back of a hard fought win over Llandovery last Friday night. Pontypridd ground out a 12-19 victory and McIntosh believes the game will be perfect preparation for their trip to Leeds.
"The calibre of game played on Friday night was superb. It was a hell of a game of rugby, a great spectacle and a good advert for the Premiership," he added.
"We are making changes but they are justified in that a few of our players have played a lot of rugby. It will be a different team to the one which played Llandovery but it won't weaken us in any way. It's a team that will be going to Leeds to get the win."
Elsewhere, Llandovery currently top Pool 8 with two wins in the competition so far. They face a crunch clash with second placed Doncaster at Church Bank on Saturday with the winner of that game likely to progress. The two sides are clear of Melrose and Nottingham in the pool and a win for Llandovery would make the side clear favourites to reach the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile in Pool 6, Llanelli still have hopes of reaching the knock out stages. They visit London Scottish on Sunday looking to keep pace with pool leaders Moseley. With a five point gap to make up on the English club, Llanelli know a win is vital over the pool's bottom side.
In the remaining games, Bridgend face a tough ask to progress from Pool 1 while Cardiff are out after losing their first two games. The Ravens welcome pool leaders Bristol to the Brewery Field knowing a win is vital while Cardiff face a difficult away trip to Ulster who still have hopes of qualifying themselves.
Despite topping the Premiership, Bedwas have had a tough time in the cup so far and sit bottom of Pool 2. Steve Law's side face a long trip north to take on Stirling County on Saturday.
The Scottish side are third in the pool, level on points with Neath who have been on a good recent run. They take on pool leaders Bedford needing a win if they are to get out of the pool.
In Pool 3, Carmarthen Quins will be hoping Swansea can spring a shock on leaders Cornish Pirates. Quins take on bottom side Dundee High on Saturday and with a four point deficit to make up on the Pirates, they need Mefin Davies' side to do them a favour. Swansea have been struggling of late though and a trip to the Pirates looks like a tough ask.
Finally, Cross Keys welcome Connacht Eagles to Pandy Park in the same pool as Newport though neither side can qualify with the same applying to Aberavon who host Plymouth Albion in Pool 7.

The debates are done, the swing states remain swingy, and the money is flowing. Must be the last two weeks of the campaign. And true to the divided nature of the country, there are two narratives for the final push.
The second says that President Obama took it on the chin in the first debate, but came roaring back in the last two and, though he's lost the big lead he had at the end of September, still leads in the states he needs to be reelected. Is this the controlling story? Or is there another, less-widely reported subplot?
The media seems consumed with momentum and polling figures, and you can get your fill at fivethirtyeight, Pollster, RCP, Red State, or TalkingPointsMemo and they will tell you the same story: Obama has the lead, by varying degrees, but it's going to be a very close election. In fact, we could be looking at a 2000 scenario, where Obama wins the electoral vote but loses the popular vote. That's the system we have. Go figure.
At the two-week mark, Obama has the inside track on the election. Whatever movement towards Romney was evident after the first debate has slowed, the president's ground game is resulting in leads in Ohio (though shrinking) and Iowa where early voting has been taking place. If Obama can win those two states and Nevada, where he has never been behind, then he'll win the election. Romney has all-but taken up residence in Ohio for a late personal and advertising push, so it's not conclusive that Obama will shut the door until election day.
All of this is giving partisans on both sides the jitters and short finger nails. I don't see an October surprise, but I guess that's why they call it, well, a surprise. The real surprise would be one of the candidates pulling away at the last minute. With the country so divided though, I would suggest that you buy sustenance for what will surely be a long night on November 6-7.

The research of Alexei Grom, MD, has mainly involved two translational projects focused on two autoimmune diseases – systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile dermatomyositis. In both projects, recent advances of cellular immunology are applied to these diseases to promote better understanding of their pathogenesis and treatment.
Systemic onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and an associated condition known as macrophage activation syndrome are severe and often devastating illnesses. The pathological mechanisms are not known but Dr. Alexei Grom has focused his research on NK and cytotoxic cell function in this disease. The rationale for this approach has been based on the strong clinical similarities between MAS and the better understood autosomal recessive disorder familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, in which the uncontrolled proliferation of T cells and macrophages has been recently associated with decreased NK cell and cytotoxic cell functions secondary to mutations in the gene encoding perforin. Recent observations suggest as in FHLH, MAS patients also have profoundly depressed NK function. Moreover, a large subgroup of systemic JRA patients has very similar immunologic abnormalities. Combined with the evidence of the immunoregulatory role of NK cells in many immune responses, this suggests that NK dysfunction is relevant to the pathogenesis of MAS. New directions have thus been established for research in this poorly understood disease.
Juvenile dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition involving primarily muscles and skin. The most characteristic feature of JDM is vascular damage associated with the capillary necrosis that eventually leads to capillary loss and tissue ischemia. The project is based on the hypothesis that capillary loss in this condition may be caused by angiostatic chemokines that are prominent in the inflammatory response in the affected muscles.

Anyone do this? I let my LO go naked in the house or with just a shirt on and she will use the potty when ever she needs to go. However, she does not tell me she needs to go she just goes.
If you have naked done the naked potty training thing how did you teach them how to go when they are wearing training pants? I think my LO assumes if I put a diaper or clothes on her she should just be in her diaper. She also needs to learn to tell me because obviously she is not going to be able to find the potty in a store and go by herself.
For now we are letting her be naked at home and pee in the toilet and she is in a diaper at night and if we leave the house. Anyone have experience being at this stage? How long did it take for them to figure out the rest?
FYI I didn't push her to potty train. I just let her have diaper free time and she just started to go pee in her potty whenever she had no diaper.

Bobby Ventura has been as assistant coach for 13 years, with stops at Lubbock Roosevelt, Bovina and Lockney for the previous six seasons.
The 39-year-old from Carrizozo, N.M., who went to Lubbock Christian College, began a crash course in the art of head coach this fall at Vega, a program that has struggled in recent years.
Ventura was hired at Vega in late May, replacing Matt Denman. He begins the 1999 season with a new staff and hopes that they can turn the Longhorns' fortunes around.
The past three seasons at Vega have been dismal, to say the least. The Longhorns endured back-to-back 0-9 seasons before beating Crowell and Ropes last year en route to a 2-8 mark. So that's just two victories in the past 28 games over a span of three seasons.
"I know we're not going to turn it around overnight," Ventura said. "Hopefully, we can start this season. Optimistically, we'd like to win every game, but more realistically, we're hoping that we might at least double last season's total. It would be a big step forward to win five games."
A veteran team is something Ventura and his staff did not inherit. The Longhorns will have only seven seniors this season, led by quarterback/strong safety Todd Hubbart and running back Mark Ruiz, who gained nearly 1,000 yards on the ground last year.
The Longhorns' other seniors include Rex Green, Dusty Fowler, Brandon Childers, Teal Bennett and Jonathon Ferick.
"We're going to need some good senior leadership from players like Hubbart and Ruiz," Ventura noted.
Junior Jarrod Cook, a starter last season, returns to anchor the offensive line at center.
Other returning regulars include Michael Crawford, Justin Nogler and Cody Spiva in the secondary. That figures to be one of the Longhorns' strengths this season.
"With a new coaching staff, to go along with a new system, we had to get acquainted quickly this fall," Ventura added.
The Longhorns will switch from the wishbone to a power-I formation on offense and from a split six to a 4-3 alignment on defense.
"We want to throw the ball more this season," Ventura said. "And we want to put more motion in the offense.
"On defense, we want to be more aggressive than before. Hopefully, switching to a 4-3 alignment will accomplish that."
The Longhorns followed their victory against Crowell with three straight losses before defeating Ropes in week five. Then they lost all five of their district games. RUIZ

Presiding over a formidable triple bill of grunge-guitar godheads, Built to Spill get in on the play-an-entire-album craze that's lately claimed everyone from Belle and Sebastian to Raekwon. The disc in question: Perfect from Now On, the Boise rockers' 1997 major-label debut and perhaps the purest distillation of frontman Doug Martsch's prog-pop ideal. Built to Spill have been more tuneful (see There's Nothing Wrong with Love, from 1994), and they've been more solo-tastic (see You in Reverse, from 2006). But they've never balanced both sides of their sound as elegantly as they do on Perfect. As last year's reunion album by Dinosaur Jr., Beyond, made clear, time away doesn't really affect those who choose to live outside time in the first place.

Address:B5 Mariental, Namibia
In the small town of Marienthal in the Hardap region of southern Namibia you will find self-catering (self-contained) accommodation in the form of the Marienthal River Chalets.
The town of Marienthal owes its name to Hendrik Brandt, a pioneer farmer, who bought the farm from the Nama leader Hendrik Witbooi. Brandt named it after his wife, Marie. To this day Marienthal is home to many Nama-speaking people. The original Nama residents called Marienthal "Tsaraxa Aibes" - a reference to the dust storms in spring and autumn.
The region is one of extreme temperatures: very hot in summer and freezing cold in winter. Despite the aridity of the region, water is relatively plentiful. The Hardap Dam reservoir in the nearby Fish River enables the cultivation of animal fodder, as well as fruit and vegetables. The ostrich abattoir bears testimony to the importance of this industry in the region. Apart from being the largest water reservoir in Namibia, the Hardap Dam is renowned among water sports enthusiasts. The dam frequently plays host to international triathlons as well as angling competitions.
Mariental River Chalets is centrally situated on the B1 Road and the Trans-Namib railway that stretches from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop, making it ideal as a stop-over destination. The Mariental River Chalets are popular with travelling families, hunting and fishing groups, as well as business people and offer value for money self-catering (self-contained) accommodation.
The friendly staff at Mariental River Chalets go out of their way to make their guests feel at home. Children can frolic in the safe playground, while the adults relax around the braai fires. Braai packs and wood can be purchased at the reception desk, and the staff can help you to plan the rest of your journey.
Mariental is a very central town from where you can explore the rest of Namibia. within a days drive from Mariental River Chalets to the south is the Fish River Canyon with its famous Canon Lodge and to the North in Damarland is Twyfelfontein Country Lodgenear the petrified forest at the famous Twyfelfontein rock paintings. Your next stop will most likely be the famous Etosha National Park. In the far north east of Namibia is a small land strip known as the Caprivi and here Ngepi Camp is one of Namibia's famous lodges on the banks of the Kavango or Okavango River.
From Mariental Rive chalets is is easy to reach the Kambro self-catering ( self contained ) accommodation on a farm north of Britstown and the Hanover Inn a self-catering ( self contained ) lodge in Hanover halfway between Mariental and Port Elizabeth.
Botswana is our Eastern neigbours and Mariental River chalets is often used as a stopover between Cape Town and Botswana. In Botswana Temba Botswanaspecialises in tailor-made safaris. They use hotels and lodges in all parts of the country such as Francistown Hotels or Nata Lodge which was rebuilt in 2008 and is now a luxury lodge.
Mariental River Chalets are proudly associated with the following lodges in Zimbabwe. The Hwange Safari Lodge at the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe offers hotel style accommodation. Rainbow Towers Hotel in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe is one of Zimbabwe's most luxurious hotels. This hotel was previously known as the Sheraton Hotel Harare.
Victoria Falls Rest Camp is in the town with the same name in Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls Rest Camp offers comfortable self-catering ( self contained ) accommodation and pre-erected tents within in walking distance from falls itself and near the shops.

Y'all know what this is. Jermaine Dupri rounds up his So So Def family for a remake of Game's celebratory single. JD is also prepping a So So Def all-star anniversary concert on February 23. global14
Tag: da brat
Kimmy brought her Return of the Queen tour to the Key Club last night. During her set, Big Momma brought out a few familiar faces including Da Brat, Lady Of Rage & City High. TWCJ has more clips below.
As of late, Da Brat's music is turning into that shit we don't like. Coincidentally, she decides to hop on Chief Keef's record for her new recording. What'chu like?
Damn, 12 months sure flies by. To commemorate the one year anniversary of her prison release, Da Brat gives her fans a new, but short, track from the studio. Let freedom ring!
Rather than performing her most recent tracks, the OG Funk Bandit took us back to '94 on The Mo'Nique Show with Jermaine Dupri on the turntables. hhnm
Fresh off the release of her latest mixtape, Da Brat appeared on DJ Green Lantern's Invasion Radio and at the 3:05 mark, she spits an acapella freestyle and her "Look At Me Now" verse.
Since Da Brat's been back on the scene, she's been on a streak with music and compiles them all on her first project since her release from prison earlier this year. Tracklist and download link below.

I switched to the 32 bit depth buffer that did not work. After further investigation I discovered that there's z-fighting or depth fighting going on. Some of the color from the other side of the cube is winning the depth test some how. I've tried some of the more basic methods for resolving the problem like adjusting the far and near planes. That did not work. So far only adjusting the perspective's field of view from D3DX_PI/4.f to D3DX_PI/3.f works but that alters the shape of the model abit too much. Any solutions? I'm going to try enabling backface culling next and adjusting the models winding order.
Okay so yeah applying back face culling was the solution. Thanks for the help Phil T.
Can anyone answer the second problem, about the model not rendering when the camera sits directly above it, along the y-axis?

"It's paid for by the Federal Aviation Administration and so it's within their prerogative to open or close it at their discretion," said Lewiston-Nez Perce Co. Regional Airport Manager Robin Turner.
The air traffic control tower at the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport is among the several hundred towers throughout the country that will close if the federal government cannot reach an agreement on how to avoid mandated spending cuts. Which means that, without their eyes on the sky, pilots will have to rely on the automated system.
"If any portion of that automated system goes down, there's no human backup in the air traffic control tower," said Turner.
National closures would quickly affect regions across the nation.
"It impacts the ability of the community to recruit additional business into town, business relies on professional corporate aviation," said Turner.
Corporate aviation is one aspect of the traffic in and out of the airport, but what about commercial aviation? Alaska, Delta, what about those carriers?
"The air traffic control center in Seattle bases it's decision whether or not to allow an aircraft to arrive based upon known traffic," said Turner.
And if the air traffic control tower isn't here then they have to take other safety precautions and the risk for that airliner heightens.
"Generally speaking airlines don't like to operate in an uncontrolled environment," said Turner.
While Turner said there's no immediate threat to lose those jet liners at this time, he reminds people that there are airports currently running without air traffic control.
If a budget agreement by the President and Congress isn't reached by Friday, airport towers could see closures as early as the end of this month.

maintenance costs make bouys not economically feasible. Wind mills are much more practical and already proven technology.
Wave Energy is much higher density than wind.
That higher density makes waves far more destructive than wind, and that makes wave machines more costly to build. Then you get to the higther maintenance costs.
Leaking what?... Barnacles? Lol!!
what do u think of maintenance of wind energyyes wind energy is proven to be expensive
A track record of maintenance is already being established for wind generation equipment and the blades can be 'feathered' in severe winds. There's no way to 'feather' wave generation bouys, they have to ride out storms that can last for days or be destroyed. The U.S. Coast Guard can report on how maintenance intensive navigation bouys are. And navigation bouys are frequently out of service in the winter off the Oregon and Washington coasts.As for wind power being expensive, wave power will cost more and as the price of oil keeps going up, wind power will become more and more prevalent and vanadium battery technology may allow wind power to be stored until needed on the grid. I am sorry, but wave power, while tempting, is just not practical except for demonstration projects for governmental agencies. There are thousands of wind generators in the U.S. now.
You don't need a $20,000,000....220 foot ocean going bouy tender ship or two to service a windmill.
LOL yeah a nuke plant, coal plant, nat gas, are all maintenance free. LOL moron. Just like the oil rig sitting in the bottom of the gulf. That doesn't need any maintenance either. STFU

not the same thing me old mucker. Floyd was a huge favourite against DLH who, as you have pointed out, has lost all his biggest fights. Tsyzu had only lost the once. Hatton was a huge underdog against Tszyu absolutely NO ONE gave him a chance. Also, Hatton made Tszyu quit on his stool whereas Floyd henpecked his way to a decision. His punching was effective but he didnt do as good a job as Hopkins or Mosley the first time, and Mosley was fighting a prime Oscar not a 34 year old that had one fight in three (ish) years.
Also, you've dedicated your sig to rubbing it in the faces of those that thought Floyd would lose and your avator to a photo of Floyd post Oscar. Not trying to hype it up? Please....

Oscar already bested Shane clearly in their rematch in most people's eyes. And Oscar was more active and aggressive in his youth, whereas with age he has become more selective. This is generally what lost him the fight vs Floyd.
