WASHINGTON {AP} Time is up for millions of people who have four-month extensions from the IRS to file their income tax returns.
About 8 million taxpayers got the automatic extensions that expire today. A further, two-month extension is available from the Internal Revenue Service for people with special hardships, such as an illness, a fire that destroyed records or a business failure.
"Some people just don't want to do it and they're putting it off," said Brenda Schafer, senior tax research coordinator at H&R Block. "You can get away with it the first time, but the second time you have to have a reason."
Still, the IRS projected that about 2.3 million taxpayers would ask for a second extension to Oct. 15.
Returns must be postmarked today to meet the four-month extension deadline, or they can be electronically filed by midnight, IRS officials said. A second extension request also must be postmarked today using IRS Form 2688.
Procrastinators who owe tax are risking a late payment penalty of one-half of 1 percent of the unpaid balance monthly and a late filing penalty of 5 percent monthly, plus interest currently running at 7 percent.
"It can get really nasty," Schafer said.

Raiders' Russell continues to regress in development
It may be a tad premature to write this given that he's only in his third year, but it's getting harder and harder not to tab JaMarcus Russell as one of the worst No. 1 overall picks in NFL history.
Al Davis was blinded by Russell's arm strength three years ago. Russell might be able to throw the ball the length of the field, but his pocket presence his atrocious and his work ethic is abysmal. When he drops back to pass, it's clear he doesn't know where to go with the ball and how to read a defense.
In the Raiders' 44-7 loss to the Giants on Sunday, Russell completed just 8 of his 13 pass attempts for 100 yards, was sacked six times and lost three fumbles. He simply cannot function in an NFL offense and relies too much on his natural ability to get by. If he doesn't start putting in the work and learning how to read defenses, he's never going to succeed and he'll be out of the league in a couple of years.
Russell is a prime example of why it's so important for teams to evaluate the intelligence of players. That will never happen with Davis because he'll always put talent above all else, but draft evaluators are dreaming if they think they can teach work ethic and football smarts. Russell can make all the throws, but he doesn't have the awareness to get the ball out on time or to deliver it to the right spot. One would think that he would compensate for that by working harder, but he doesn't.
If Russell doesn't show vast improvement this season, the Raiders can't wait to start developing another quarterback. He's regressed every year he's been in the league and he's not going to start succeeding overnight. I realize the Giants have a great defense and make a lot of quarterbacks look bad on Sundays, but Russell can't even accomplish basic functions. It doesn't matter if he's playing the Giants or Rams, if he doesn't understand the basics the Raiders will continue to spiral into football purgatory.

Configuration changes made to add new features
Go here to open the Visual Studio 2015 version of this topic .
When you run the Configure Features wizard, it assesses your existing team project, determines which features are missing, and adds them. Before you can use this wizard, you must upgrade your Team Foundation Server to a later version that contains new features.
Features added with the update to TFS 2013.4
The TFS 2013.4 update doesn't include any updates made with the Configure Features wizard. However, teams can now choose to show bugs on backlogs and boards. If the feature is disabled, the process configuration definition must be updated as described in Add bugs or other work item types to backlogs or boards.
To learn about additional features and enhancements made to Agile planning tools and work item tracking, see What's new in planning and tracking.
Features added with the update to TFS 2013.3
To enable the Test Plan and Test Suite feature, the TFS Upgrade Wizard (not the Configure Feature Wizard) performs the following actions:
Adds the Test Plan and Test Suite work item types (WITs)
Adds the Test Plan Category and Test Suite Category
Adds the Test Plan and Test Suite WITs to the Hidden Types Category
Updates the area path security model to include Manage test suites and re-scopes the Manage test plans permissions. For details, see Q: What test functions are controlled by area path permissions?.
Creates work items for existing test plan and test suites
Migrates existing test management data and creates links to test artifacts—such as test points, test runs, test results—to point to the work item based test plans and test suites
Note that there are no parent-child links created between test plans and test suites or between test suites and test cases. Therefore, you can't create a query to see a hierarchy of these objects. However, the Test Manager and Team Web Access clients present these objects in relationship to one another.
You can start working with your test plans and test suites in Test Manager.
If one or more of the steps fail, the Test Management subsystem will log a warning or an error. To view these messages, open the Team Foundation Server Administration Console and view the Logs page. To resolve these messages, see Manual updates to support test management.
If, after an upgrade, the Test Plan and Test Suite feature is not configured, you must manually update your team project. The Configure Features wizard doesn't support the end-to-end activities required to migrate existing test plans and test suites.
Features added with the update from TFS 2013 to TFS 2013.2
To enable the Shared Parameter feature, the Configure Features wizard performs the following actions:
Adds the Shared Parameter WIT
Adds the Shared Parameter Category
Adds the Shared Parameter WIT to the Hidden Types Category
The Shared Parameter WIT supports repeating tests with different data.
Features added with the update from TFS 2012 to TFS 2013
To enable the Portfolio Backlog feature, the Configure Features wizard performs the following actions:
Adds the Feature WIT
Adds the Feature Category
Adds ProcessConfiguration, which supports portfolio backlog definition and assignment of colors to WITs
ProcessConfiguration replaces the AgileConfiguration and CommonConfiguration files introduced in TFS 2012.0
This configuration adds one level of Agile portfolio management support.
A: To see the Configure Features link to access the wizard, you must be a member of one of the following groups: Team Foundation Administrators, Project Collection Administrators, or Project Administrators for the team project. Or, you must have the Edit project-level permissions set to Allow.
To get added as a Project Collection Administrator, go here.
A: After you've upgraded to TFS 2013.3, you can customize the test plan and test suite in the same way you've customized other WITs.
Field customizations: Add a custom field, modify a pick list, or add a field rule.
Work item form customizations : Modify the form layout for the bug, test case, test plan, or test suite.
Workflow customizations : Modify the workflow definitions for the bug, test case, test plan, or test suite.
A: WITs that you want users to create using a tool such as Microsoft Test Manager, Code Review, and Request Feedback are added to the Hidden Types Category. WITs belonging to the Hidden Types Category don't appear in menus used to create new work items.
In the TFS 2013.3 Preview version, the following WITs belong to the Hidden Types Category:
Code Review Request and Code Review Response
Feedback Request and Feedback Response
Shared Steps and Shared Parameter
Test Plan and Test Suite

Philadelphia lawyers are often prominent fund-raisers and apologists for both parties. Duane Morris L.L.P. Chairman John Soroko, a Republican, and firm partner Alan Kessler, a Democrat, met for breakfast at the Four Seasons on Tuesday to argue the prospects of this year's presidential challengers. Here are some excerpts:
Soroko: Alan's best friend, Bill Clinton, called Obama '08 a fairy tale. You're just not seeing that enthusiasm now. You knew this was going to be a tight election; you knew Obama had to go down from that point. When Obama goes down a few percentage points, Romney wins.
So the debates, they're just a pivot point for a recalculation of what people were going to do in the first place.

Lady Antebellum shows new side on 'Golden'
Lady Antebellum, "Golden" ***
After pulling out the stops with the heavily orchestrated grandeur of 2011's platinum-selling album "Own The Night," Lady Antebellum heads in the opposite direction with the stripped-down sound of "Golden."
The country vocal trio hinted at its new direction with the sparse, soul-strutting groove of "Downtown," one of the spring's most engaging country hits. As usual, Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood deal with the complexities of modern relationships -- in this case, a woman asking why her man doesn't take her out for a fun night on the town, like he once did.
The album occasionally recalls past successes: "Long Teenage Goodbye" has the sunny innocence of the 2010 hit "American Honey," once again showing off Scott's shimmering alto. The dramatic crescendos of "All For Love" prove that a big, grand sound, deployed at the right time, fits the group's dynamic duets.
A couple of weak songs dampen the overall impact, but all in all, Lady A continues to experiment and grow while sounding like no one else in contemporary country music.
-- Michael McCall, Associated Press
Fitz & the Tantrums, "More Than Just A Dream" **1/2
From Sharon Jones to J.C. Brooks to Mayer Hawthorne to Charles Bradley to Eli "Paperboy" Reed, indie labels and rock clubs are chock-full of retro-soul and R&B acts these days, offering varying degrees of stylish nostalgia and earnest emotionalism in an age when both can seem lacking. Until now, you would have counted Fitz & the Tantrums, the L.A. sextet fronted by Michael Fitzpatrick with the assistance of singer Noelle Scaggs, among them. But on its second release, the band has chosen to leave the past behind. Or rather, it has chosen to exchange its former obsession, the Motown 1960s, for an '80s template that incorporates synth-pop and Hall & Oates-style blue-eyed soul. The impulse to separate themselves from the pack is a good one, and F&TT's songs are still catchy.
-- Dan DeLuca, the Philadelphia Inquirer
Tom Jones, "Spirit in the Room" ***
Since Rick Rubin started building a fresh audience for Johnny Cash with his American Recordings series 20 years ago, the resuscitation of the careers of senior citizen "legends" by decades-younger producers has become a commonplace pop music narrative. So much so that "Spirit in the Room," which was helmed by Ethan Johns, known for his work with Kings of Leon and Ryan Adams, is the second such recent effort by Tom Jones, 71 and still robust of voice. It follows 2010's gospel CD "Praise & Blame." With "Spirit in the Room," Johns turns the volume down on a series of covers, written mostly by contemporaries of the white-goateed Welshman, such as Leonard Cohen, Richard Thompson and Tom Waits. The best tracks here, like Bob Dylan's "When the Deal Goes Down," and especially Blind Willie Johnson's "Soul of a Man" search for meaning in the face of mortality in a most moving way.
-- Dan DeLuca, the Philadelphia Inquirer
Fall Out Boy, "Save Rock and Roll" ***
When Fall Out Boy reunited and entered Billboard's album chart last week at number one, they weren't really looking to save rock 'n' roll. They were saving themselves. During their hiatus, composer/ guitarist/vocalist Patrick Stump released his electro blue-eyed R&B album "Soul Punk" (it was damn good), and flashy bassist Pete Wentz formed the ska-danz Black Cards outfit (it was not good). Neither solo effort rocked the charts.
Stump's bold vocal range, brash falsetto and emotionalism splayed across spiky, bass-y, glossy power-pop of the highest order is still the focus of F.O.B. Whether it's Stump compositions or the zingy band-penned "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)," the singer's voice is the brightest light in a blindly shining mix. Stump's stabs at intimate soul are noble. What is odd is how Stump & Co. insist on fingerprinting sounds that aren't their usual, like the death-discoid "The Phoenix" or the ghastly Mumford / Lumineers folk of "Young Volcanoes."
-- A.D. Amorosi, the Philadelphia Inquirer

Delicious! These potatoes are wonderfully easy to make and taste rich and flavourful. I just love brie and potatoes so this was a great pick for me. Made for Best of 2011. Thanks Sharon123! :)
We loved these potatoes. We wrapped 4 potatoes individually in tin foil after pouring olive oil on them and adding a little sea salt. Baked @ 375 for an hour and cut a oval hole into the potato, used a tablespoon to pull out all the guts, added to the brie mix and stuffed the skins and baked again for about 20 minutes. Perfect! We added a little bit of triple cheddar mix to the top for color and to give it more of a cheesy taste.
Great potatoes, made as a side dish last night with a chicken recipe. I used chives, and butter with a chicken dish . Made for PRMR tag.,
Wonderful recipe, but woman at 2419 recipes, you need to get out of the kitchen. Made for Cook-A-Thon for Sharon123.
These were awesome. I used Cambazola as it is similar in texture to the brie and I wanted a blue chese flavour. I served it with roasted beef tenderloin. fabulous dinner. Thanks for the great recipe
I love this recipe! It is the only way my husband will eat brie. The last time I made it, I used a combination of brie and fontina, and I sprinkled Parmesan on half of them before I baked them. Both types turned out very good. Thank you for this recipe.
We ate this as a side dish with dinner and enjoyed it. I was uncertain about how to cut the baked potato. The directions sounded like you were to stuff the whole potato with the skin all around it - but I didn't understand why you would brown a whole potato. So, I cut each baked potato in half lengthwise and then restuffed them like a twice baked potato. Everyone was served half a potato. I enjoyed the Brie cheese in them - it was a very mild flavor. Thanks for a good recipe.

How to Fit a Dog Collar
- One: Measuring your dog's neck to estimate her collar size. Hold the tape in the middle of your dog's neck and measure the circumference from that point. Add 2" to the result so you can purchase a collar that is big enough to adjust.
- Two: Select your collar. Modern dog collars come in all shapes and sizes, from rich leather to brightly colored flat webbing. Choose a collar that is sturdy enough to withstand wear and tear and will not bleed dye onto your dog's coat.
- Three: Place the collar around your dog's neck. The collar should be wide enough to be comfortable, but not so large that the material will press into his neck while he performs everyday tasks like eating or drinking.
- Four: Slide the free end of the collar through the fastening mechanism. Most collars have a buckle system to secure them around a dog's neck, so be sure you place the secure end properly.
- Five: Adjust the collar to the appropriate size and fasten the buckle. The collar should be tight enough that it does not fall off, but loose enough that your dog can move her head up and down and not choke while performing normal daily activities.
- Six: Allow your dog to wear his new collar for a few hours and check to make sure that it is staying secure. Some materials stretch a little during wear, so readjust the collar as necessary to ensure

Historical Traveler Reviews Soniat House New Orleans
Old world charm and elegance
Stayed ther three years ago. Old world charm and elegance. The way the south and the quarter used to be. Reccomend a room on the courtyard first floor only and some past knowledge of the area. This is an experience you will never forget but make sure you are there for tea and use a cab after dark. Our room was decorated in true old world NO style with 15ft ceilings. Would go back in a minute to sleep in a huge four poster bed. If you like a modern sterilized atmosphere this may not be what you are looking for so keep your thinking cap on and realize you are in the Big Easy.
Not Bad, but wouldn't stay again
Excited about going to New Orleans for the first time, we hopped in a cab at the airport and directed the driver to the Sonait House in the French Quarter. After having extensively researched all of the hotels/inns in the area, this one looked like the best combination of quaint yet nice. Upon arriving in the French Quarter, we were first surprised at how dirty/run down the general area was. I mentioned that it was almost like the city cleaned itself up one day a year and that's when all of the tourism pictures were taken. Anyway, the Soniat was average at best from the outside. The room and grounds were also not as nice as pictured on the website, but I guess they could be considered charming for the area. The "antiques" seemed more like junk and really didn't add anything to the atmosphere of the room. There was turndown service and a breakfast, which was unremarkable and overly priced. The location is a little further away from things than I would have preferred, but it was quiet. If I went back to New Orleans, I would not stay here again, but would try out another inn or larger hotel, such as the W.
Very Disappointed
Here are the facts that have left us dissatisfied with the Soniat House. Large roaches were found in our friend's room ("although, this is New Orleans"). A concierge convinced us not to take one of the tours we had researched by offering to book us a private tour that the hotel had recommended in the past. The tour guide shows up 20 minutes late, and within fifteen minutes, is muttering to himself and oddly playing with his keys. His stories begin to disintegrate as he takes us to his apartment and asks us to tell him a story. We call off the tour after the next stop is a bar and he cannot pay for his drink- he was the only one to order anything- and the evening is lost. Through our communication with the hotel, we find out that the hotel's policy for recommending tours was broken, and that the concierge lied to us about recommending the tour in the past. We have yet to receive a formal explanation or apology from the hotel in this regard, just this comment from the concierge: "I'm sorry you did not have a good time." The same night, we returned to the hotel to find a pair of prescription eyeglasses missing from our room, where they were last seen (a fact).
They are not found, and the hotel offers nothing. After continued requests of reimbursement for the glasses over the next week and a half, the hotel offers only apologies and we are left with no choice but to replace them out of our own pocket. My opinion is that we not treated as if we were staying at "One of America's Finest Small Hotels." Actually, we were treated as if these problems were our fault and that our business didn't matter.
Excellent lodging choice
We stayed here 3 years ago, via Andrew Harper's Q-Club. We were upgraded to a suite from a deluxe. The service is top-notch. The honor bar is a nice touch. We took the breakfast one day and thought it was overpriced. The rest of our stay we just wanted coffee, and were surprised to find that was complimentary. I especially liked the location a few blocks away from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street and Jackson Square--quiet and serene. We have a trip booked for September and are staying at Soniat House this time too and will report on our visit.
Etoufee Soniat
If your credit card can stand the whack (this place ain't cheap, my friend) , Soniat House is definitely the best place to stay in the French Quarter, and probably the best hotel in New Orleans. With a terrific location, a charming if faded elegance (oh so typical of New Orleans), a world-class staff, rooms filled with genuine antique furnishings, a great honor bar, those seductive breakfast biscuits, AC that really works, a great courtyard that is candlelit in the evenings, wonderful art on the walls (some of it on loan from the museum), Soniat House is hard to beat. We had a great time and, with the exception of one crabby and unhelpful guy on the nightdesk, we have nothing but praise for Soniat. If you go, be sure to get a table at Stella!, which is a restaurant that's practically across the street. When we ate there in late June 2003, it was far better than Emeril's or Commander's.
I want to haunt this place when I die
This place feels like it has a spell over it, from the second you walk inside the courtyard and the heat and noise from the Quarter are instantly replaced with cool air emanating from the stones and a light trickling sound from the fountains. The service is invisible and ever-present. You WILL NOT be able to figure out how the staff knows you need something-- they appear out of nowhere as soon as you realize you need something. The rooms are individually decorated in antiques and art on loan from the museum of art. I stayed in a semi-suite, across the street from the main hotel-- smaller courtyard, sloping balconies, random stairways and corridors-- tons of character. As for the breakfast, I have eaten breakfast at Soniat House and I have eaten breakfast at Cafe du Monde; both are fantastic, but I wouldn't say not to eat at Soniat House just because it costs much more. The previous reviewer failed to mention that the juice is fresh-squeezed and the jam is homemade. Also, the coffee is a large pot of strong French coffee with scalded milk on the side, and what would you do with more than two large biscuits each, anyway? Regarding baths, I had no problem with hot water, and the tub was huge. Finally, to anyone deciding between here and Windsor Court: I had tea at Windsor Court and it was beautiful, but it could have been anywhere. Their website actually likens it to an English country house. Soniat House is in New Orleans, and there's no mistaking that.
Great service at a steep price
My wife and I are frequent guests in small inns and bed & breakfasts. This was our first trip to New Orleans. Having read such wonderful comments about the Soniat House, we wanted to stay at this inn. The service was excellent -- felt that everyone from the porter to the innkeepers were very available and knowledgable. We stayed in a courtyard room which was very quiet and romantic. One negative was that my wife ran out of hot water and I had a cold shower. For over $200 a night, hot water should not be a luxury item. Additionally, the continental breakfast was overpriced. For two people ($24.76 incl. tax) we received four biscuits, two glasses of juice and a pot of cafe au lait. The biscuits were burned and for that same price, the next morning, I walked the five blocks to Cafe du Monde, and purchased two orders of beignets, two bottles of water, and two t-shirts for less money. So my recommendation is to skip the Soniat breakfast and get the beignets for $1.47 for three. Overall, it was an average experience, next time we are in New Orleans, we will try another inn, but as mentioned before, the service was fantastic.
Picture-perfect elegance
Wonderful and truly elegant, the Soniat house exceeded our expectations. The physical beauty of the courtyard, the garden, and the room we stayed in will appeal to the toughest of critic and most travled of visitor - be forwarned, this is NOT the place to go if you like high activity or expect 24 hour room service or a lively bar/lounge. Rather, go here if you appreciate class, charm, and sincere (but not gushy) attention to detail.
Ahhhhh.......Nothing Better in NOLA
After much deliberation, my friend and I stayed here on our first trip to New Orleans. I could not have been more pleased. It is quiet, inconspicuous, and beautiful all around. The courtyard is more stunning than any garden I have visited, and it's all yours. The rooms are spacious, with antiques and paintings, and the softest bed you have ever slept in. Even the bathroom has the nicest shower you've ever taken. They have turn-down service at night! (classy!) The staff is there at your every whim, and are super nice. If you are looking to get away from the lights and smell of Bourbon Street, I highly recommend the Soniat House. You will not be disappointed.
The most perfect place in New Orleans
The classiest, cleanest, most lovely hotel in the French Quarter. A+++++ I love it. NOthing is better than coffee and biscuits in that courtyard or drinks there in the evening. This is THE only place I'll stay in New Orleans. Here you get the true feel of the heart of the quiet, classy, old world New Orleans.

An organization that has always had strict standards about who is allowed in their ranks has suddenly decided become more lenient about who it recruits.
The most frequent reason for this change of policy is a need for more members. If the organization is combating some rival group or other force, then extra numbers, even as cannon fodder, become extremely valuable.
This change in policy is also most frequently how our main character becomes a member of said group when before that the best they could have hoped for was to fanboy from afar. This decision is also often a cause of friction between the those who support the new arrangement and the Old Guard who resent the "riffraff" coming into their midst.
This trope is specific to when an organization changes to rules to allow more people to join, as opposed to situations for the elite organization making a special exception for an especially talented individual who otherwise wouldn't have been able to join.
[[folder: Anime & Manga ]]
* In ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'' lack of numbers is the reason that a third class devil like Elsie gets trained and sent to Earth to capture loose spirits; a job previously reserved for the best of the best. To elaborate, there was massive numbers of runaway spirits that escaped hell realm and invading human realm 10 years prior. To counter this, the hell realm government recruits as many as possible.
* In ''Manga/{{Area 88}}'', the Asran foreign legion is desperate for fighting men, so it tends to overlook flaws in potential mercenaries, such as inexperience, criminal backgrounds, or psychopathology. They're not too concerned about lack of consent (in Shin's case) or age (in Kim's case) either.
[[folder: Film ]]
* This trope is the premise behind the original ''PoliceAcademy'' movie. The mayor instituted the policy, and a resentful chief of police cooks up a plan to make the new cadets so miserable they quit.
* In ''Film/TheBourneLegacy'', a character reveals that his IQ score was raised 12 points by a recruiter so the recruiter could make his quota.
[[folder: Literature ]]
* ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment'', by virtue of the fact that there was hardly anybody left ''to'' recruit by the time of the story.
* Happens in ''Literature/UnderTheDome'' by Creator/StephenKing. After the town is cut-off from the outside world via SomeKindOfForceField, the town's leaders make the decision to deputize some young adults in order to beef up the police force. These young adults? The town selectman's [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong sociopathic son and his delinquent friends]].
* The Manticorian Navy in ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' has been quietly lowering its standards with regards to re-enlistees in preparation for the war with Haven, resulting in troublemakers like Randy Steilman being kept in the service.
* In the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series, Harry is accepted in the advanced Potions class because the new teacher has lower standards than Snape's. Unlike most examples on this page, however, it's implied Snape's admittance requirements were too high (demanding the Wizarding equivalent of an A on the exam, while the replacement also allowed those with the B grade equivalent).
* Harry Dresden, title character of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' is recruited into the [[spoiler:[[StateSec Wardens]] and made regional commander for the central United States]] due to their shorthandedness during the vampire war.
* In ''Literature/TheHelmsmanSaga'', before the First Galactic War, only nobles were accepted into the Helmsman Academy. The protagonist is from the first batch of commoners to be allowed in due to the combat losses.
* In ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'', the Aes Sedai (magic-user) policy of only admitting young girls as trainees is relaxed a little to admit the prodigy Nynaeve, and then abandoned altogether (along with restrictions on minimum magical strength) after [[spoiler: Egwene becomes the Amyrlin Seat]].
* In Creator/HarryTurtledove's ''Literature/{{Worldwar}}'' series, Sam Yeager is a player for a Triple-I League Baseball team. During the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI Great War]], he tried to join the Army but was rejected on the basis of having lost all his teeth during the Spanish Flu. After the [[TheReptilians Race]] attacks the US (and many other nations), the Army quickly lowers its standards and starts accepting anyone who's willing to fight. Sam and his manager "Mutt" Daniels (who would normally be too old to fight) join up.
* The StarWarsExpandedUniverse: TheEmpire began supplementing its clone army with recruits, a development which drew criticism from the clones. As this policy eventually gave us the ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy, the clones probably had a point.
* Mentioned in ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront'': towards the end of the war, younger and younger recruits are being sent to the front with even less training than the protagonists' group received. They comment that they seem so much older now than those kids.
* In ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'', the war against the Parshendi has been a sufficient drain on the humans' manpower that ''ten-year old'' boys are being conscripted. Or at least, that's the excuse. The truth is that a lighteyed noble wanted revenge against a darkeyed surgeon, and found a loophole in the conscription laws, so he got his cousin Highmarshal Amaram to recruit the least useful of the surgeon's sons.
-->'''Amaram:''' Lighteyed boys are recruited as early as eight or nine.\\
'''Lirin:''' For officer training! Not frontline soldiers!
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* ''Series/AllInTheFamily'': Archie's lodge is in trouble for not having any black or Jewish members. So he suggests that they invite one black to join - Solomon Jackson. And one Jew - also Solomon Jackson. At the end of the episode Jackson accepts their invitation to join, and promises to invite all his black friends ''and'' all his Jewish friends to join too.
* ''Series/{{MASH}}'' - With the draft on, you get doctors who are against the very war that's being fought. It was a recurring theme that the vast majority of the US Army (being draftees), were unprepared, unfit, and generally had no business being in a warzone.
* ''Series/{{The 100}}'' - By Season 2, the Ark has lost so much of its population, and is facing such an overwhelming threat from the Grounders, that even Murphy, a known murderer, is allowed to help with their defense. Murphy is well aware that, if ''he's'' being trusted with a weapon, then they "really are screwed".
* ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'': In Season 3, the prison hires more guards to deal with the workload. However, it's clear from the start that they aren't qualified to work there. In the finale, it's revealed that one of them [[spoiler: is actually a hit man who works for the drug lord that Alex smuggled for. He even says that the place would hire Forrest Gump]].
[[folder: Professional Wrestling ]]
* From professional wrestling, you have the [=nWo=] (New World Order) of the WCW. This was one of the things that soured the storyline, causing the eventual implosion of the WCW.
[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Twilight 2000}}'' by the time the game starts in 2000 all the armies in Europe have been taking anyone they can get for years: draftees, left-overs from destroyed allied units, deserters from the other side, even locals.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''
** For the most part averted where manpower is the Imperium's greatest weapon (one general regularly wins battles by sending wave after wave of infantry without armored support against fortresses or through minefields) and they'll let anyone join/get shanghaied. Just about everyone in 40K is a BadassNormal just for surviving to adulthood, and anyone who doesn't shape up fast enough can generally look forward to meeting the Commissar and being sent to a Penal Legion.
** Thoroughly subverted for the SpaceMarines: their recruitment standards are so stringent they consider four possible candidates from a ''single planet'' to be an exceptionally good run. Of course, they have to be, as many won't even survive the horrific surgeries required to turn them into Astartes.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* In the Sith Warrior storyline of ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', your initial mentor comments that this policy was recently put into practice within the Sith Academy, due to the heavy losses of the war. In an inversion, your character is one of the elite who is there legitimately (sort of--in a sort-of ironic inversion, your mentor gives you special treatment while trying to prove his point about the lowered standards), while TheRival is one whose presence owes itself to the Lowered Standards.
** The Sith Inquisitor PlayerCharacter is also one of the Lowered Standards (as your Overseer and rival constantly point out), but doesn't stay that way for long.
* Happens in some of the ''Franchise/StarCraft'' novels. A lot of terran recruits are convincts, so the methods used involve arresting people for flimsy reasons, as well. In at least one case, people were outright kidnapped from colonies, using the brainwashing meant to keep the more violent convicts under control to instead tell them a fake story.
[[folder: Web Original ]]
* The ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' normally recruits its D-class personnel (human test subjects) from death row criminals, and terminates the survivors at the end of the month. In times of need, they start grabbing from lesser criminals, and sometimes escalates to just grabbing civilians and using amnesics on them. Their plans for world-wide apocalypse have several levels, with only the last one planning for the release of superviolent and/or insane criminals if it comes down to there being ''any'' human beings left at all.
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' does it, when they go ''[[HeroesUnlimited Unlimited]]'', resulting in the recruitment of oddballs who have to be expelled later, like the Huntress.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', NASA decides to let an average person be an astronaut to better its image, which is how Homer ends up on the space shuttle.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy's'' Peter Griffin is named president of a cigarette company for the same reason.
* A segment on ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' (released before the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell) is a Navy recruitment ad targetting gay men and promising "Now we're more don't ask than ever before!"
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Best Friends Forever" Kenny dies and ascends to Heaven in order to command Heaven's army against the forces of Hell. He is told by the angels that they used to only let Mormons into Heaven, but they started to let others in order to increase their army's size.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' episode [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S1E22PulverizerReturns "Pulverizer Returns"]], it is revealed that the Foot Clan has invoked this trope, due to many of the former members quitting after losing to the turtles so often.
[[folder: Real Life ]]
* The "against" camp in the debate on whether or not to allow women into the combat branches of the US Military uses this trope as one of their primary arguments.
** This happened when the US military was eager to swell its ranks during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Waivers became more common for people with non-violent criminal histories, overweight and out of shape recruits became more common, and accordingly reports of injuries to soldiers unaccustomed to the harsh lifestyle and crimes (petty and otherwise) skyrocketed.
* The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS Waffen SS]] during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Initially membership was open to "[[MasterRace Aryans]]" only in accordance with the racial policies of the [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Nazi state]], but the rules were partially relaxed in 1940, and UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler authorized the formation of units composed largely or solely of foreign volunteers and conscripts as the war went on. By the end of the war, non-Germans made up more than 50 percent of the Waffen SS.
** The Germans had to depend on this more and more as the war turned against them. One of the first examples were the ''Luftwaffe'' Field Divisions, which essentially took auxiliary and non-essential air force personnel and pressed them into frontline service. Their battle prowess was about as good as you can expect. By 1944, anyone who was previously declared "medically unfit" was allowed to join the ''Wehrmacht''. At the end of the war, the ''Volkssturm'' was the ultimate result of this. With the ''Wehrmacht'' essentially tapped for any reserves, the Nazis began to conscript anyone who wasn't already in uniform to fight against the Red Army. The majority of ''Volkssturm'' members were old men (many of whom were veterans of the First World War) and children from the Hitler Youth, who were far more fanatical than their older comrades.
* SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn invoked this during the Soviet-German War. Entire categories of people who had been barred from combat-roles (socialist- and liberal-sympathisers, central Asians, petty criminals), or from military service (women) were suddenly conscripted, trained, and pressed into logistics and frontline roles. Upon the war's outbreak the UsefulNotes/RedArmy had been entirely male, mostly Russian, and quite strictly Communist. Upon its end the Army was only 9/10 male, less than half-Russian, and embraced all flavours of the left-wing rainbow. This couldn't last, however, with the women and less orthodox members being quietly removed in post-war years.
* [[UsefulNotes/TheSoundOfMartialMusic The Austro-Hungarian Army]] (officer corps 76.1% German) was particularly badly affected by this in UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, though the situation was still manageable while they were able to use the pre-war Army Reserve to plug the gaps (officer corps 56.8% German). Things only became truly critical when they ran out of these after repeated Italian and Russian offensives in 1916 and had to begin recruiting ''en masse'' from the country's civilian professionals (c.24% German).
* Conscription has this effect on armies. The army is forced to accept many barely fit recruits who don't want to be in it either, and is cited as a contributing factor [[UsefulNotes/SecondSinoJapaneseWar the infamous "Rape of Nanjing" during World War II]], as a number of conscripts were of the "[[TradingBarsForStripes imprisoned or enlisted]]" variety.
** This also happens in volunteer armies in times of war, standards are gradually lowered and the army swells in size, when the war is over, standards rise back up and many of these new recruits are discharged for various reasons that the command suddenly noticed.
* In Australia the university fees are capped by the government, but to help the universities make money they uncapped the number of admissions. As a result the ATAR (Australia's version of an SAT) scores needed for admission have steadily been getting lower to allow more students.
* Jokingly mentioned by Creator/DaveBarry in regards to universities being so desperate for students they now accept people they wouldn't have allowed to work in the boiler room.

I have a music problem. I can't decide whether to copy all my music to the xbox using the M$ dashboard or using another program that i have. (can't remeber name)
The reason this is a problem is my xbox can't run CD-R, but it can run CD-RW, so for me to rip it using the M$ way it would be such a pain in the arse.
The other problem with this way is i don't know where it stores all the music. I can find it using search but i don't know where its stored. i wouldn't want to go and fill up C: when F: has all the space.
Another pro of this is it i think it rips it in better quality (could be wrong).
The pro's of the other way is that i know where they are stored.
So if anyone has an idea on how to set it up good, it would be much appreicated.

The music is stored with your game saves in the TDATA or UDATA folders. Can't remember which one. MS Dash also changes the format to something funky, so you can't just drag and drop mp3s or WMAs into the folder and expect it to work. You have to use Virtual Xbox CD Ripper to encode and transfer music from your computer. This is the fastest way to make custom soundtracks and they will be labeled properly as well. Link is in my sig for the dowload. There are other programs that can do the same thing but this is the only one I have tried.
Posted 27 July 2004 - 04:19 PM
if your worried about quality use window media player to rip to high quality wma (196kb) and transfer those with virtual xbox cd ripper

This was one of the more surprising trades leading up to the NFL draft. While Tony Gonzalez had been asking for a trade since last October, nothing happened prior to the trading deadline. He had 96 catches for 1,058 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Chiefs last season.
Then Gonzalez requested another trade despite the acquisition of Matt Cassell. However, it looked like the Chiefs had every intention of going forward with Gonzalez on their roster.
At the NFL winter meetings, Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said the following: "We will certainly not seek a trade for Tony. I think he's excited about the changes we've made here. I think he recognizes that with Todd (Haley) as the head coach, we're going to have an exciting offense and one that will feature the passing game. No matter our starting quarterback, it will be someone who will look his way quite a bit."
Evidently, a lot changed between March 25 and April 23. Today Gonzalez was sent to Atlanta in return for Atlanta's 2010 second-round pick.

Pubelly Sushi
Indulge in cool, adventurous sushi on South Beach
Sushi fans who scoff at cream cheese in their rolls should stop reading now. Pubbelly Sushi, the second outpost of the funky Pubbelly empire in South Beach's Sunset Harbor neighborhood, is not for purists. I'm up for anything, from horse meatballs in Puglia to fried scorpions in Beijing, but if anyone had told me I'd be ordering — and enjoying — burrata cheese with raw fish, I'd surely have rolled my eyes. At Pubbelly Sushi, with its fusion of Mediterranean, Caribbean and Japanese elements, anything is possible. And surprise, surprise: Lots of its combinations jump onto the palate like fireworks, though some do land with a thud.
Diners can mull over the menu while nibbling plump Kalamata olives subtly Asianized with spices, fresh ginger and sesame oil.

Chef Jose Mendin earned his chops at such notable spots as Nobu in Miami and London, El Chaflan in Spain and Mosaico Miami and as Sushi Samba's executive chef, and sushi chef Yuki Ieto knows his way around the raw stuff. They bring in pristine seafare from Hawaii, China, Japan, Scotland, Spain and Malta, among other spots, and serve it simply sliced into sashimi or gently layered over rice, but their untraditional dishes are worth sampling, too. There are two kinds of rolls here, buttery potato buns that sandwich the likes of fried clams and cole slaw (quite delicious) and Japanese-style rolls with American twists.
Ambience: Much like the original Pubbelly a few doors east, the space is low-key and cool, with brick walls, concrete floors, oversized blackboard menus, flattering overhead lighting, butcher-block tables and hip soundtracks that make you want to hang out for hours. And a good-looking young crowd does.
What Worked
- Burrata draped with a lozenge of beet-red tuna; a bracing bath of vinegar; tiny, crisp ringlets of shaved pearl onion; and tangy triangles of heirloom tomato
- BLT -a uniquely delicious, crispy, salty and creamy blend of fried soft-shell crab and fresh blue-crab tartar sauce
- Richly smoky pork belly with a crunchy fried-clam coating and funky, fiery kimchi
- Hearty and pristine hamachi from the robatta grill - fist-size hunks of tender white fish on the bone and tender branches of bracingly bitter broccoli rabe
- A lengthy list of international beers including La Fin du Monde, a high-alcohol Belgian-style golden ale served icy cold in a chilled pilsner glass
- Sake cocktails like spicy pineapple with jalapeño and a super-fresh berry and basil
- Crunchy, creamy banana rolls fried in a thin, phyllo-like dough with a weirdly wonderful topping of raspberry-basil gelatin, a smear of dulce de leche and a strangely watery chocolate sauce
What Didn't Work
- Murky French onion miso soup
- Grisly short ribs
- Rock shrimp tempura drowning in blue cheese dressing
- A no-reservation policy and a jam of waiting customers on the sidewalk and in the crowded entry

Land Rights
Mozambique's Movement to End Land Grabs
By Anabela Lemos, interview conducted, edited and compiled by Simone Adler
March 7th, 2016
To corporations, the forest is only business. To communities, the forest is everything: trees, medicine, culture, spirituality. Land-grabbing and the removal of communities from forests and land breaks the community, displaces access to food and water, and uproots the connection to nature and local knowledge. If the community structure is broken, if the land – the means of food production – is lost, we lose everything.
Land That Can Only Grow Stones
In Mozambique, where 80% of the population is campesinos – traditional, family farmers – companies are taking the best, most fertile land and moving people to land that can't grow anything.
Human Rights Leader Murdered in Honduras: Berta Cáceres, Presente!
By Chung-Wha Hong
March 3rd, 2016
Last night indigenous rights leader and social justice warrior Berta Cáceres was murdered in her home in Honduras. This follows weeks of mounting threats and years of violence and aggression targeting indigenous peoples, women, small farmers and environmental activists in Honduras and throughout Central America.
Celebrating Women Farmers of West Africa
Women farmers of West Africa hold a piece of Black history and ancestral knowledge to be celebrated and honored this and every month. In Africa women produce the majority of food consumed locally, and for centuries they have been the guardians of seeds, passing on local strains from generation to generation.
Grassroots International is supporting rural women farmers associations in five countries in West Africa - Ghana, Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso and Guinea - to build connections between local associations and to strengthen the voice of rural women farmers regionally.
La Via Campesina, Building an International Movement for Food and Seed Sovereignty
Who we are fighting for is every single peasant farmer – more than 200 million – on the planet. People are eager to join hands in building a global voice.
Transnational corporations are pushing policies in African countries for industrial farming and the use of GMO [genetically modified] seeds, while grabbing our land and [stealing] our natural resources. No one should come and tell us how to produce food.
In Via Campesina, we believe in controlling our land and seeds and producing the healthy food that we want, the way we want.
Palestinian Farmers Push for Control of Water
Water is life. Unfortunately, it is increasingly used as a weapon. And it can be a deadly one when political conflict meets drought.
For decades the Israeli government has had varying degrees of legal and coercive control over the Palestinian water supply. Eighty-five percent of Palestinian water resources are controlled by Israelis and all-too-often, wells and other agricultural projects are demolished or confiscated.
The result is a gaping inequity: Israelis have swimming pools, and Palestinians can barely survive.
The average Israeli uses 300 liters of water per day, but Palestinians are limited by bureaucracy and lack of access to 30-70 liters – and the World Health Organization recommends a minimum 100 liters per day.
African Women Organize to Reclaim Agriculture Against Corporate Takeover
Everybody originated with indigenous ways of living and the way of Mother Earth.
The real role of women is in the seed. It is the women who harvest, select, store, and plant seeds. Our seeds come from our mothers and our grandmothers. To us, the seed is the symbol of the continuity of life. Seed is not just about the crops. Seed is about the soil, about the water, and about the forest.
When we plant our seeds, we don't just plant them anytime or anywhere. We listen to our elders, who teach us about the ecological calendar. The seed follows this natural ecological flow. When it bears another seed, that one is planted and the cycle continues.
If you cut the cycle of the seed, you cut the cycle of life.
Palm Oil Plantations Displace Communities in Central America, Video Tells the Story
Palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet, with some 50 million metric tons produced annually. High demand for the product is leading to the growth of African Palm plantations in Central America, which, in turn, is fueling environmental destruction, the exploitation of agricultural labor, and the displacement of local peasant farmers by companies often financed by development banks.
International Court Rules in Favor of Indigenous Land Rights in Honduras
After two years of deliberation, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights recently issued two judgements declaring the State of Honduras responsible for the violation of collective ownership rights and the lack of judicial protection in a case brought before them by a Grassroots International partner. The ruling extends protection to Garifuna (Afro-descendant) and indigenous people across the country.
In keeping with the tenet of Free, Prior and Informed Consent, the Court stated that "Regarding the right to consultation and cultural identity, the Court considered that the consultation must be applied prior to any exploration project that may affect the traditional lands of the indigenous and tribal communities."
What happened in Paris? A Sham, and a Shame
Despite all the fanfare, the bottom line from the Paris Agreement is that emissions from fossil fuels will continue at levels that endanger life on the planet, and the trading schemes the agreement promotes will lead to an increase in natural resource grabs.
While government dignitaries engaged in UN climate negotiations (the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, otherwise known as the COP21) we had a chance to participate in 10 days of powerful strategy sessions and actions for climate justice in Paris alongside many of Grassroots International's Global South partners. We will tell you more about movement proposals and accomplishments soon, but let's start by reviewing the official agreement.
Decolonizing Our Minds and Our Lands: Reviving Seeds, Culture, and African Strength
Recolonization is happening. There is a second scramble, not just in Africa, but across the global South. Corporations started it. We need to name and shame these corporations – Monsanto, Syngenta, Cargill, and the program promoting them, AGRA [A Green Revolution for Africa] – to take this battle to the next level.
The wars [of conquest of Africa] have not actually ended – the artillery has just transformed into a different type against us farmers today. All of us are fighting.

On the threshold of the new millennium when plasma emission and mass spectrometry are so important and popular, the editor considered it timely to produce a book which covers all present atomic detectors and techniques where FA has been or can be advantageously employed. The book has been conceived in three separate parts:
Part I gives the fundamental, instrumentation and potential of FIA as a most versatile sample presentation/introduction system for atomic spectrometry.
Part II provides a modern account of fundamentals, possibilities and applications offered by flow analysis to atomic spectrometry for on-line sample pretreatments, separations and preconcentrations.
Part III deals with applications of FA-ASD combinations to analytical problem-solving in most varied fields and situations.
This monograph integrates the most popular aspects of FIA, its new developments for sample on-line treatments and on-line non-chromatographic and chromatographic separations (all typical 'flow analysis') in connection with all branches of analytical atomic spectrometry. Thus, academics, researchers and routine users of analytical atomic spectrometry will find this book invaluable.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boots (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boots/)
- - Size 13.5 feet in 12 boot fitter thinks it can be done, what's your take? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boots/118777-size-13-5-feet-12-boot.html)
Size 13.5 feet in 12 boot fitter thinks it can be done, what's your take?
So i have been doing this whole new boot thing properly and tried on a fair few pairs. I actually bought the Ride Lasso in US13 but after wearing them for a few hours at home i felt the width was just not up to it.
I have tried Burton, Vans, Ride and 32 and that is all i can find in 13 in Whistler at the moment. I will try the rest of the places latter today perhaps but one place has given me a bit of a dilemma.
Basically i went in to the shop and was measured up. Finding i was a wide 13.5 the fitter put me into 32 TM Two size 12s with some superfeet and molding. They were pretty much as tight as can be without my toes curling up but they were just too tight for comfort.
My question is though, this shop has a boot fit guarantee that says that if i don;t like them even after riding them they will do all they can to get them to fit, even ordering another size. The boot fitter assures me that not only do 32s get a size bigger but that all boots can be stretched but can never be shrunk.
My question is, should i just walk away and accept i will never get into boots 1.5 sizes too small or should i believe this guy who is so confident he can get them to fit? Is it dangerous to have boots that are too tight not just for the feet but ankles too?
Anyone know or have a similar experience i really don't know what to do.
At the moment the best bet are some very tight but prone to stretch Vans Auras but i have them in 14 (thought i was that size and bought them online - mistake) and i am not overly impressed.
So long story short can i trust this boot fitter or is he spinning me a line?
If they are 'too tight for comfort' your answer is there already. Sure boots pack out a bit but you want them comfortable from the outset.
IMO and boot fitting everyday, a boot will pack out. Some more than others. I measure a 13 and wear size 12 they packed out to about the linear of the size 13. If the boot fitter put you in a footbed, in my eyes it helps your arch support and actually shrinks in size so that would "idealy" make you a size 13 with a footbed. Depending if it packs out you should be good. I would not go 14 thou.
Thanks for your feedback.
Ten i don;t think you're right, a boot needs to be very snug to begin with as they definitely pack out and you don't want to end up with two cushions on your feet, which is what i have now with my size 14 that have packed out.
ICary, thanks for the info. I would never go for a size 14 that is for sure but in your opinion can i trust this guy to put me into a 12? I feel he might have been trying to put me in their biggest size in stock but then they do have a guarantee that you are happy with the fit so he does have to back it up at least partially. They just felt so damn tight! Also are you saying the footbed makes you a size smaller or a size bigger i didn't understand?
I hope I helped, this is just the info I know. Please to the veterans out there correct my mistakes.
I think it can be done. I had Burton Grails 1 size to small, it was all they had.
They were way too tight @ first, I thought I might have gone too small.
Had them heat molded twice & they were a little uncomfy for the first couple days.
In the end they were wicked, they couldn't pack out anymore, so they never got sloppy.
Now I try to fit boots like that. too tight @ first, uncomfortably tight.
I had a boot fitter put Superfeet in a pair of boots that I was trying to return because they were too small.
It worked, to my surprise:yahoo:
Not a major tear just cosmetics.

Larry Ellison broadly proclaims that Oracle's latest offerings mean Amazon's cloud lead is over, but a closer examination shows where his company really stands.
Palo Alto Networks' (PANW) stock price target was increased to $180 at JMP Securities on Thursday.
Oracle paid a hefty premium for NetSuite, whose shares rose more than 40% in the month before that $9.3 billion deal was announced in August.
These stocks have both short-term gain catalysts and longer-term growth potential.

For enquiries relating to this seminar please contact Drayton Richard: firstname.lastname@example.com
Venue: wolfson room 1 IHR North Block Senate House unless otherwise stated
Time: Monday, 5.15pm, unless otherwise indicated
The 'Imperial and World History Seminar' is older than the Institute of Historical Research. Its roots lie in the research seminar organised by A. P. Newton at King's, which by the interwar period was the most important British centre for training graduate students in British Imperial history.1 Under Vincent Harlow, Gerald Graham, P. J. Marshall, and Andrew Porter the 'Imperial History' seminar became an international historical institution. In 2009, reflecting the evolution of its subject, the seminar name was changed to encompass the emerging fields of global and transnational history.
Intercalated with the Imperial & World History seminar is the Colonial/Postcolonial New Researchers' Workshop
Colonial / Postcolonial New Researchers' Workshop
Venue: Pollard Room N301, 3rd floor, IHR, North block, Senate House
Time: Please note the new starting time: Monday, 5.30pm, unless otherwise indicated
Convenors: Lara Atkin (Queen Mary), Hannah Young (UCL) and Jacob Smith (Queen Mary)

North Philly residents cheered at a School Reform Commission meeting nearly two years ago, when Bright Hope Baptist Church's nonprofit development arm won the right to buy the old Wanamaker School.
Bright Hope formed a partnership with the Goldenberg Group, of Blue Bell, to build a $250 million complex on the five-acre site at Cecil B. Moore Avenue and 11th Street.
The school was closed by the Philadelphia School District in 2005.
The new project will include apartments for Temple students, as well as a school for neighborhood children and a job-training and entrepreneurial center for adults.
In May, the City Planning Commission approved initial plans for two high-rise towers, one 20 stories tall and the other 12 .

Give Kizer an Oscar
It's amusing how HBO tried to make Kizer look like he was deep in thought ruminating about the possible judges for the upcoming pacquiao/marquez fight even going so far as printing out scoring sheets for the judges....even though we know he gets paid off countless times for hidden positive test results and other nefarious acts.....lolol

after the pacquiao-bradley fight, WBO president said they did not doubt the ability of the scoring judges who were largely put in place by kizer himself, still the review committee announced pacquiao should have won. however, the WBO can't overturn the result of the fight, only the Nevada State Athletic Commission would be able to do so.
so why didn't kizer even lift a finger? it's coz he got paid to do nothing by gambling organizations who made tons and probably gave kizer a piece of that action.
kizer should be under criminal investigation for alleged connections with gambling circles. his integrity in under intense scrutiny and the fool should just retire.
not sure though who has the power to fire him

Fights decisions do not get overturned in boxing because people disagree with the decision, that's now how it works. The Pacquiao-Bradley decision had nothing to do with gambling or corruption, this isn't the 1940s, and if actually believe any of that then you are clueless.
