The Draft Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement (SWEIS) for the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) and Off-Site Locations in Nevada is available for public review and comment through October 27, 2011.
Within the draft SWEIS, the U.S. Department of Energy, National Security Administration Nevada Site Office presents a formal analysis of how current and potential missions at the NNSS (formerly the Nevada Test Site) and related off-site locations may affect the environment over the next ten years.
As required by federal regulations, the document's analysis must consider several reasonable alternatives. The draft SWEIS explores the environmental implications of three alternatives:
- The No Action Alternative reflects activity levels remaining consistent with current levels;
- The Expanded Operations Alternative includes activity levels consistent with the No Action Alternative, while considering additional proposed activities and increased frequency of ongoing activities;
- The Reduced Operations Alternative reflects activity levels being reduced. Activity reductions would vary across programs.
Each alternative discusses potential impacts, including those that may affect nearby communities. Public input, therefore, plays an important role in crafting the final document, which is anticipated in mid-2012.
The draft document can be accessed online at www.nv.energy.gov/sweis, or by calling 877-781-6105. Public comments can be provided via the website, by calling 877-781-6105, faxing 702-295-5300, or by U.S. Mail at P.O. Box 98518, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8518 (attention: NNSS SWEIS Document Manager).
Community members also have the option of submitting comments during public hearings being held September 20-22, 2011, in Las Vegas, Pahrump, and St. George, and September 27-28, 2011, in Tonopah and Carson City, respectively. Each hearing will include an open house (5-8pm), where subject matter experts will provide information and answer questions regarding the draft SWEIS. The public may provide comments during the formal public hearing (6:30-8pm) portion, or privately to a stenographer during the open house.
Please call 877-781-6105 or visit www.nv.energy.gov/sweis for information.

- Abstract
- In this study, the bending responses of metallic sandwich plates with a sheared dimple core were investigated through the 3-point bending tests and dynamic plane bending tests. It was experimentally shown from the uniaxial tensile tests that the yield and tensile strengths of the brazed face sheet were weaker than those of the welded face sheet. A mild steel sheared dimple core was fabricated by the sectional forming process and then bonded with DP590 face sheets by multi-point resistance welding. Analysis for large deformation of a sandwich plate subject to 3-point bending was carried out, where frictional work was considered and a face sheet was treated as a rigid-plastic material based on Hollomon's flow rule. Load--deflection curves and the deformed shapes of the finite element method computations and the experiments were efficiently predicted by the proposed analysis. The effect of frictional work on the peak load and energy absorption increases as the bending angle increases. The dynamic bending responses of the sandwich plates, such as the effect of a deformed shape, failure mode, energy absorption and absorption ratio were compared with those of a high-strength steel sheet. It was demonstrated that a bendable sandwich plate was stronger construction than a high-strength steel sheet under the tested conditions, despite the weight reduction and weaker properties.

World Rally
Oh man I'm watching the WRC right now and the focus is leading the group in points. They have 26 points. I dont know if anyone likes rally racing but I wasnt really aware until now that the focus was a good rally racer.
must be an old one. citroen won the manufactures championship and Loeb won the drivers championship i believe.
Yeah, but ford finished second, and Ford took the last two tarmac rounds which are normally domintated by Citroen. So, yeah the car is a good rally car, especially with it being a "year" old (did not get a major overhaul during the season like the Xsara, WRX.
Maybe now that they aren't spending a fortune on McRae and bleeding red ink all over the place, Ford can come back and win next year!
Hey McRae was and still is a great driver. Maybe too expensive for his recent record, but he can still keep pace with the young guns.
I agree he is and/or was a great driver, but so is Markko Marten and a couple of their other young drivers, and it doesn't cost a bloody fortune to put them in the driver's seat. Money that will not only keep the whole program alive through rough financial times at Ford, but can further develop the WRC Focus.

Thrashing Across the World With Soilwork
Thrashing their way all around the world since the late 90s, Swedish death-metal rockers Soilwork (translation: working from the ground up) know what it's like to break through boundaries and power toward success.
I mean, these guys have been around for awhile, so you know that they've got to be doing something right!
Dirk Verbeuren, the band's drummer, also knows what it's like to break through boundaries—boundaries of "conventional" eating and stereotypes. See, Dirk is a vegetarian who has lots of love for all animals.
He has been compassionate from an early age and tells us:
Every living creature has the right to be treated ethically.
Check out our video to get Dirk's story:
Did you know vegetarians save more than 100 animals per year? If you love animals as much as Dirk does, then you know that the easiest way to help animals is to stop eating them!
A plant-based diet also reduces climate change and world hunger. And you'll be healthier, too! It's basically a win for everyone. Are you up for the challenge?

Can We Remote View?
Written By: Paranormal News
Posted: 5/15/2011 12:00:00 AM Reads: 5664 Submitted By:0x6a656666 Category: Remote Viewing
I recently had a chance to sit down and try a few remote viewing experiments utilizing the course material provided on Youtube by a well-known yet controversial remote viewer who worked for the military by the name of Ed Dames. The objective is to practice and understand the concept of 'non-locality' in which you can hone in on a certain 'target' and provide details of the target with absolutely no foreknowledge of what the target even is. In the course material, it is explained that mind is outside of time, and although you may not be able to identify when certain things will occur or what exactly it is that you are seeing, you can, however, draw out details of the target which can serve purposes within the military establishment, or for most people, just to satisfy their own curiosity. In that sense, remote viewing seems directly related to psychic phenomena, and the training provided is meant to assist you in realizing and developing your own abilities. But is it legitimate?
Honing in on a target seems to be the equivalent of tuning your brain to a PCAR wave, which former astronaut Edgar Mitchell spoke about during a recent lecture on Noetic Science. To tune in to a PCAR wave, you basically have to learn to pay attention to 'thoughtless thoughts' that come to you without directly thinking about them. You will get a flash which could be anything from a sound to a song, to a picture, or to a word that just suddenly comes out of nowhere. Remote viewing attempts to direct these impressions by providing a target and then allowing your brain to just naturally receive what comes to you ABOUT it without you interfering and thinking the impressions into some other form. Your thoughts are actually a barrier, so the removal of them through identification training allows you to sort the hits from the misses inside of you before writing anything down.
This process came quite naturally to me as a result of my own experiments with impressions, and during the exercises I noticed that many of the descriptions I recorded when given a target were direct hits. For example, I completed one sketch which described what I felt one target looked like which had a direct match to the number of figures, the shape of the figures, and the color of the figures in the concealed picture. When given a second target directly afterwards, I wrote 'copy' in the junk column, which is basically a column for thoughts that will not leave your head but do not fit underneath any of the sections which you are currently being asked to describe. When the target was revealed, I discovered it was an exact 'copy' of the previous target. My junk column ended up filled time and time again with 'non-junk' and contained the most distinct and directly correlated items. Coincidence? I'm not so sure.
Many times I will be laying in bed either right after falling asleep or right after waking up and I will see faces, people, locations, etc. which 'flash' in my mind, only to disappear and be replaced with certain recollections or concerns I have from the previous or forthcoming day. This happens to me consistently and I have learned over time to just let those mini-movies play which both assists in helping me fall back to sleep as well as inspire the thought pattern of dreaming itself. They are, in all honesty, more interesting than my own thoughts simply because they do not seem to be caused by me. I know, for instance, what I'm going to think, but the flashes themselves can be absolutely anything, and most often serve as muse-like material for articles that I write shortly thereafter.
The high 'hit rate' from these impressions still made me wonder if I was experiencing a mere parlor trick whose only purpose was to spruce up my own ego. The descriptions that I was seeing 'flash' in my mind when presented with a target were often vague and could be matched to anything. I could easily identify the flashes in myself which were inspired by the activity of thought vs. an impression, yet the vagueness of them made me wonder if I was merely 'molding' my recorded session to the target afterwards instead of actually viewing something non-locally. I would draw a curved, c-shaped line with a black dot in the center, and I could see where that matched up to the ear of the figure upon the target later. I would say, 'well that looks like an ear' and identify it as a hit. But was it? I still can't say.
For fun, I went back and found a few of Ed Dames' sessions. One of which struck me as a hit was a statement in 2007 when he claimed that the next great catastrophe on the planet would be a nuclear meltdown in western Russia which was supposed to take place at some point within a few months and would affect the entire world. 'Western Russia' was obviously incorrect as the meltdown was in Japan. His 'few months away' was also wrong as the disaster took place this year in 2011. On top of that, I wondered to myself why he was speaking of dates when his core material specify that you cannot predict when something will occur, yet here he was making predictions which supposedly did just that. Did he hear the sound 'shhh' in his mind and extrapolate 'Russia' instead of Fukushima? Did he get the impression of 'few somethings' and decide it meant a few months instead of years? Or was he just completely wrong? Was I just attempting to 'match a hit' of Ed Dames from 2007 to a 2011 disaster in the same way that I was attempting to match my own hits after a revelation of a target source in the remote viewing material? The mental activity of 'matching a hit' seemed to be a part of the exact the same process in both cases. If I wait long enough, for instance, I'm sure that in tens of years there could be another nuclear meltdown in western Russia to make his prediction even more accurate.
But still, all of the targets had correlations to what I had written down. My first effort had me drawing a triangle with waves above it, only to discover the target was a cloudy photo of Mount Everest. It disturbed me, however, when the revelation of the target did not suddenly make me think, 'yes! That's exactly what I saw!' The bits and pieces I wrote down as impressions only made sense AFTER the target was revealed and ONLY if I looked at from the angle that 'this is what I was describing.' You could not get a detailed sense of what the target was unless you had it sitting in front of you, which you do after every remote viewing session.
Regardless of the legitimacy of remote viewing, it does seem to provide a more useful outlet to the 'impression' activities that my mind partakes in on a daily basis while trying to get myself to fall asleep. It made me appreciate the 'where did that thought come from? It wasn't mine' incidences I experience regularly. I sense foreign intelligences controlling dreams, and I sense the same thing upon the reception of these flashes as well. They are mine, but they are not mine at the same time. Remote viewing seemed to help give a bit of concreteness to a mental function which is usually ignored.
Despite my own suspicions, I feel that we can probably experience an infinity of channels--good, bad and neutral--many of which practically require the absence of thought most commonly experienced during meditation. By opening yourself, you give these channels an open line to express themselves, and as a result, your life begins to take on a certain shape around them. There is something extraordinary in the gaps of our knowledge--it is possible that through activities such as remote viewing, we take one step closer to peering into those gaps without falling head over heels into a massive void. So try it out, enjoy, and get back to me with your own experiences.

- Title
- An exploratory comparative analysis of the use of metaphors in writing on the internet and mobile phones
- Author(s)
- Wilken, Rowan
- Abstract
- Scant attention has been paid to the use of figures of speech in describing mobile telephony and how it is used. While there are isolated cases, as yet there is no study of metaphor use across a larger corpus of mobile phone research. This article addresses this gap by developing a preliminary survey, or mapping, of the use of metaphors and other discursive figures and tropes in the available literature on mobile phones. It does this by using metaphors in Internet literature as a springboard for comparative analysis, as a comparable communications medium. Both for their general role as communications technologies and their specific historicized position as "new media", and with their capacities increasingly overlapping, mobile phones and the Internet form a useful counterpoint. The article summarizes the key findings from earlier work mapping and critiquing the use of metaphor in the critical and popular writing on the Internet. It then compares and contrasts these Internet-based metaphors against those in the mobile literature. The paper concludes with a discussion of the perils and the promise of metaphor use in writing on communications technologies.

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen and most importantly Hentais! This is the Tom and Linny 2013 Summer Anime Highlights Preview! In today's review we're going to briefly cover the five summer anime Linny and I are currently watching! So without any delays lets dive right in!
Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class 3 (Tokurei Sochi Dantai Stella Jo-Gakuin Koto-ka C3-Bu):
Genre: Comedy, Slice of life.
Original Air Date: July 4th, 2013 - Ongoing
Note: Preview based on episodes 1 through 6 out of 12.
Tom: First lets talk about Stella. Besides the stupidly long name this show definitely has an interesting premise. We've got young high school girls working together in their after school club. Seems normal, yes? Now lets add the fact that they've got guns and you've got yourself something truly special. Stella has a very intriguing premise, and while most episodes are fun there are a couple things that worry me. Namely the show is animated by Gainax and they've already strayed from the original manga at least once, introducing a fantastical element to the premise that was absent in the manga. I'm concerned we might have a Gainax ending incoming and I'd much rather the anime stick to its initial set up. Young high school girls and their airsoft club.
Linny: I fell in love with this show for how it showed some decency and wasn't all fan servicey with jiggly tits every time an air soft gun was fired, and how for once it showed girls having fun with something you wouldn't normally associate girls with. AND THEN GAINAX HAPPENED. For a show I innocently assumed was a slice of life, school life anime, it turned into this freaking weird supernatural show for one episode (which is then never explained or repeated, thank god?) and the next episode GIRLS IN BIKINIS. As a girl, those two episodes left a very sour taste in my mouth but thankfully, the eccentric and adorable characters and the fun of seeing girls excelling in a supposed masculine activity helped me power through them. Thankfully ,the show seems to be returning to its root and if so, I would heartily recommend it to each and everyone of you. (NOT if you're only going to watch it for fan service =P)
Note: Stella Women's Academy has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks. Stella is also available for viewing on Crunchyroll.
WataMote - No Matter How I Look at it, it's You Guys' Fault I'm not Popular! (Watashi ga Motenai no wa do Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!):
Genre: Comedy, Slice of life.
Original Air Date: July 8th, 2013 - Ongoing
Note: Preview based on episodes 1 through 5 out of ???.
Linny: WataMote is a very intimate and (for the most part) realistic look into the mind and life of a socially inept and unpopular high school girl. Its animation is nothing special, even weird at times, but its lead character and her angsty attempts to be a popular girl, and her contempt towards those who seem to exude confidence and popularity make your heart melt. It even makes it painfully relatable for those of us who had or still have the ugly ducking/loser stage. However, the show also helps you laugh with the characters exaggerated reactions and situations. Such as the infamous 'raped by a long sword' incident.If you're looking for an awkward but somewhat endearing lead character driven show, you've found it.
Tom: WataMote is a show Linny initially insisted on watching by herself, wanting some solo girl time. However she quickly become so in love with the show she had to include me and share the magic. I honestly didn't know what to expect and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is now one of my two favorites of the summer season. WataMote has such a wonderful creepy and bizarre style of humor. It doesn't rely on fan-service or exploitation of the main character's body for cheap laughs. It's clear that the creator of the manga has a healthy, if not disturbed, imagination to draw from. WataMote will easily remind you of your own awkward moments as a young teen and then scream "thank god things never took that turn for me!" truly an incredible show! I can't wait to see where it goes next!
Note: WataMote has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks. WataMote is also available for viewing on Crunchyroll.
Silver Spoon (Gin no Saji):
Genre: Educational, Slice of life.
Original Air Date: July 11th, 2013 - Ongoing
Note: Preview based on episodes 1 through 5 out of 12.
Tom: Silver Spoon is probably our most subdued shows this season. It's not crazy like WataMote, it's not a weird slice of life/gun combo, and giants aren't walking around eating people. But SIlver Spoon has its own pull. It's clear the creators know a LOT about japanese farm culture, probably more than any normal individual would even care to know. But it's a fascinating look into the schooling of those wishing to enter the agriculture industry. The show follows Yugo Hachiken as he learns the ins and outs of being a farm hand at his new school, which he enrolled to escape from his family. What the show lacks in absurdity it makes up for with entertaining characters and the draw of seeing a world you probably weren't even aware of.
Linny: I adore Gin No Saji for letting me have a look at the agricultural life in Japan AND having fun doing it. While I am sure it's not uber realistic, I give props to the creator for making such a overlooked, average theme highly entertaining. Though subdued in topic, the antics of its characters are by no means subdued and it is fun to see another 'fish-out-of-water' story line being entertaining and even a wee bit educational. The show does have some weak jokes...such as Hachiken being unaware of where eggs emerge from in a hen's body and the overuse of his resulting disgust. But fortunately, each episode manages to have a new plot and a new gag to have you chuckling and enjoying a situation I am sure most of us will probably never get to experience in our everyday lives.
Note: Silver Spoon has been licensed by Aniplex and is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, Hulu and the Aniplex Channel.
Blood Lad (Buraddo Raddo):
Genre: Action, Supernatural/Comedy
Original Air Date: July 7th, 2013 - Ongoing
Note: Preview based on episodes 1 through 5 out of 12.
Linny: Blood Lad is an anime that sounded funny and action packed to me in synopsis but fizzled out in execution. It claimed to be the adventures of a vampire obsessed with human culture who then stumbles upon a human schoolgirl he can't seem to resist, then having to try and battle the underworld in an attempt to resurrect her after indirectly causing her death. What I then got was cliche after cliche after cliche with poorly written characters and lazy animation. At best, Blood Lad keeps promising me something epic, only to then throw us into a rather lame and disappointing time skip or plebeian explanation, or none at all. Sadly, I seem to not be learning from my mistake and am still sticking to this show hoping it will finally deliver on its promise of grand and hilarious hijinx as it does have some characters I believe can be impressive and fan favourites but the forecast seems gloomy.
Tom: Blood Lad has a promising first episode. Our main character, Staz the Vampire, has an avid obsession with otaku culture and all things anime, video games, you name it. Unfortunately the show very quickly runs away from that characterization of Staz. What follows is a mad dive into a classic fighting anime formula. It's honestly disappointing as while the first episode did have fighting anime elements they were much more downplayed compared to Staz's unhealthy obsession with Japanese Human culture. I mainly keep watching in hopes that the show will either reclaim its initial premise or learn how to do supernatural fighting well. However my hopes aren't terribly high and I have a feeling this'll end up a mediocre show at best.
Note: Blood Lad has been licensed by Viz Media and is available for streaming from their online service Viz Anime.
Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin):
Genre: Action, Horror/Fantasy
Original Air Date: April 6th, 2013 - Ongoing
Note: Preview based on episodes 1 through 18 out of 25.
Tom: Attack on Titan!!!! Why are you reading what I'm typing!? Why aren't you watching it!??! There are ONLY two acceptable excuses! You've either already seen it or you have a weak stomach!! Now all that screaming aside Attack on Titan is tied for my Summer 2013 Top Spot Anime with WataMote. Attack on Titan follows the story of Eren Jaeger (No he doesn't pilot a giant robot and help humanity defeat monsters emerging from a spacial rift in the middle of the pacific) and the destruction of his childhood life. Eren lives, along with every other human, inside the "walls." These huge circular walls surrounding the only remaining lands of humanity. For the rest of the world has been "conquered" by the Titans, terrible human-like giants that have but one purpose, one thought on their minds, "eat people." However Eren's relatively safe life is turned upside down when a Titan, far larger than any other seen before, KICKS right through the wall with unbelievable ease.
The show keeps the twists rolling allowing for the premise to be perhaps one of the most interesting yet in the Manga and Anime world. The animation is terribly good, especially for a show based off of a manga that has trouble with consistency (the art is pretty iffy). All that praise aside I do have reservations. The show, while having twist after twist after twist thrown at the audience, does sometimes feel like the creator may not have an idea of where the show is heading. I fear that ultimately Attack on Titan may end up with a Lost or X-files ending, where all the twists were for show and there was no grand ending that both blows your mind and makes sense. But I hope I'm wrong because if I am then I think we're about to get our minds blown!
Linny: *Joins squealing fan girl-ing boyfriend in his fan girl-like squeals* If you call yourself an anime connoisseur, you BETTER be onto this bomb-ass show already. If not, get on it, bro!! From the amazing action shots to the thrilling, seat gripping thriller story line, Attack on Titans is THE show of the year hands down. What I love about the story is that it focusses on the characters, their personality and their stories just as much as it does on the thrilling combat scenes. The scene that had me hooked is when Erin's mother loses her shit and begs to be rescued right after she orders her son to abandon her so at least he may escape being eaten by the titans. How realistic is that??!!?? I mean, come on, wouldn't you freak out too if you were about to be eaten alive by some giant, hideous monster? Major props to this show for managing to make this show relatable and realistic even in the midst of its far out premise. Lets all follow this show together and pray to the Gods that it doesn't go down the pooper trying to tie up its well woven spell of mystery and horror!
Note: Attack on Titan has been licensed by Funimation and is available for streaming on both the Funimation website and Crunchyroll.
That's it for the summer preview! Once these shows finish we'll be giving each of them a full review! See you next time!

Honours Business Administration BBA
Admissions: Deb Bergen, ext. 6102
The BBA program is based on the concept that a general education involving an exposure to the liberal arts and sciences is essential for a career in management and for the complete development of an individual. The management portion of the BBA program emphasizes two main objectives for its students: first, on graduation, to prepare for meaningful responsibility immediately and second, to build a foundation for a career in management. The BBA program consists of 20.0 credits (or equivalent). There are 11.0 Business credits of which 8.5 are required and 2.5 are electives. Of the remaining 9.0 credits, 3.0 are required non-business credits, 5.0 are non-business electives and 1.0 is comprised of either business or non-business electives.
Probation: refer to the Academic Regulations section of the Undergraduate University Regulations chapter. Students completing Year 1 are not eligible for probation.
Progression and Graduation Requirements for the BBA Program: refer to the Progression section of the Undergraduate University Regulations chapter.

A student may apply to withdraw from the BBA program for one, two or three academic terms. The application should indicate the length of leave requested, include the reasons for the requested leave of absence, and be submitted to the BBA director or designate. The leave of absence, if granted, will permit the student to re-enter the program at the beginning of the designated academic term without the necessity of review by the SBE Admissions Committee. Leaves of absence, when granted, are conditional upon the student being in good academic standing (all Undergraduate Calendar requirements have been met) at the time the leave is to become effective.
A student who withdraws from the BBA program without having obtained a leave of absence and who later wishes to continue with the BBA program must apply to the SBE Admissions Committee for readmission. A leave of absence made during a current term must adhere to University course withdrawal dates.
A student may take non-business electives only for degree credit during the period of a leave of absence.

academic record in Year 1 of undergraduate study. The level of
achievement must not be less than that required of Year 1 BBA students
for progression into Year 2. Where the number of applicants with
minimum qualifications exceeds the number of places available,
candidates will be rank-ordered on the basis of academic record.
Inquiries about a transfer into the Honours BBA program should be made through the Admissions Office.
Any student desiring to obtain a BBA degree must fulfill the minimum requirement as a full-time student in Year 2 and Year 3 of the program. Normally, all required business and non-business courses must be taken at WLU.

Take a look at the newly launched Kickstarter for Big Robot Games' Sir, You Are Being Hunted. Perhaps you've heard of this one? The open-world survival/stealth FPS drops players into a procedurally generated rendering of the British countryside where roaming steampunk robots shoot any humans that they see.
The Kickstarter funding goal is set at £40,000, a number which seems very achievable given that, with 26 days remaining in the funding period, the amount pledged is already at £32,239 at the time of this writing. Much of the work on Sir has already been done; Big Robot is turning to Kickstarter to ensure that the final product is fully polished.

Superman: No Longer For The American Way
DC, in its never ending battle to get people to pay $3.00 for 20 pages of printed material, has Superman renouncing his citizenship in Action Comics 900. Superman joins non-violent protesters in Iran and is chided for this by the national security adviser to the US President who fears this has created a major diplomatic incident. Superman renounces his US citizenship on the spot because he is tired of his actions being construed as part of US foreign policy. Go here to see the panels of the comic book.
Putting on my lawyer hat, a few observations:
1. Does Superman have a US citizenship to renounce? In 1974 the UN made Superman a citizen of every nation on the globe. Of course such action by the UN would have no impact on whether Superman is a US citizen as the UN has zilch power to grant US citizenship to anyone.
2. Can someone functioning under an assumed identity such as Superman be granted citizenship? I do not think so.
3. Clark Kent is clearly an illegal alien. His adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, never had him go through the naturalization process for obvious reasons.
4. Even if Superman were a citizen, there are formalities to go through to renounce American citizenship. An oral statement in the heat of the moment would be insufficient.
Lawyer hat off. This move is interesting for a number of reasons. Having Superman renounce his American citizenship could normally be taken as just another example of the Leftist mindset prevalent in most comics today. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster. Offspring of immigrant Jewish families, they were intensely patriotic and hence Superman was also. Today patriotism is not at the top of the list, to put it mildly, for most comic book writers and artists. However, the fact that this occurs under Obama and can be seen as a critique of his policy regarding Iran, is an indication that the political message being sent is more complicated. In any event, it will flog more comics for DC which is the main purpose for anyone selling comics.

I thought they killed him off a few years ago….
Is Clark Kent still a U.S. citizen? If not, does he have to get a green card to work at the Daily Planet?
But now that I think about it, did baby Kal-El actually go through the proper channels to immigrate to this country in the first place? Not only is Superman an alien from another planet, he's an illegal alien.
So, how can your renounce a citizenship to which you weren't entitled in the first place?
I should have read the entire post. Looks like you've already raised these questions. I should have expected as much from a lawyer.
Here is a post I did on the same subject for a Catholic radio station, you might enjoy it:
(Guest comment from Don's wife Cathy:) Perhaps, since Krypton is no longer in existence (and thus he can't be deported there by the INS), Kal-El could apply for refugee status, or at least go for one of those amnesty programs our government occasionally offers for regularizing the status of illegal aliens?
Depending on continuity, Clark wasn't born on Krypton- the space-pod was an artificial womb and he was "born" in Kansas. (Which explains how a baby survived without major issues, as well as how they'd be able to pass him off as their own. Claiming home birth with a newborn, easy; claiming home birth and bringing in an older child, you'll have issues….)
Story-wise, this is not in the Superman comic series, and it's by a guest writer among many other guest writers– true, this guest writer wrote a batman movie and I think he's writing the next Superman movie, but it's still downgraded from epic WTF to more "oy, wish they'd bring back the expressly sandbox issues for this stuff" level.
(Like the ones where Clark and Lois get married and one kid gets his powers, the other doesn't?)
Schachner Chanen, Jill, Opening Statements: Comic-Con – The Legal Edition, ABA Journal, Vol. 96, Pgs. 10-11, Nov. 2010 has in it the cover of an Action Comic showing a little girl point at Superman stating "That's him! He's the man who killed my Daddy!" And much more law related comic book connections.
None of us will be satisfied until we see Superman's long-form birth certificate.
Clark, since he was claimed by the Kents, would have a birth certificate. Ditto US citizenship. (No matter where he was born– joys of the "claimed as their own" detail. Isn't paperwork fun?)
On the other hand, Don, maybe they worked out a joint custody agreement with visitation rights and child support.
They sort of had to ret-con it, for the very reasons you point out in your second paragraph– the way that it "works" these days is different than when it was started. (Although I have to wonder if there was an original story beyond "baby put in a ship who was taken in by the Farmer Kent and his wife.") I seem to remember there are a LOT that have Clark "abandoned" on their farm, too, as a work-around. (Well, it's true… they found him on the farm, and his parents aren't showing….)
Re-telling Supes' origins is a very popular pastime! (And changing it to match whatever story you feel like telling this time is, likewise, very popular.)
These days, the idea of someone managing to out of the blue adopt a kid from an orphanage before that "toddler" is nearing junior high is rather unbelievable.
Heh, realized: the point would still stand that folks would assume he's an American citizen, just one who was abandoned, and he'd get his citizenship. No way in heck would a court case claiming all anonymous abandoned babies are barred from being president ever go through!
I can't find any details on what an abandoned child would do for a birth certificate, though.
This is just a set up for another Crisis on Infinite Earths and other weak plot-clean-up tactics used when Leftists are given too much 'poetic license."
In any event I suspect red Kryptonite is involved. Well at least something red anyway.
I always thought that Kal-El was a refugee not an illegal alien. Anyway, if he renounces his citizenship can't Batman just kick his behind again for being a traitor? I'm sure he could leave the Justice League (clearly an imperialist American CIA front) and join U.N. (used to be G.I.) Joe.
And, yes, I used to collect comic books. . .thank God for Penance.

Well put.
You can't produce a complete story with all that upheaval. That goes for anything Days has tried to do in the last few years. This is what happens when you have an EP and network who don't keep their hands out of the proverbial "pie," so to speak. It also doesn't help that the show has a "kneejerk reaction" policy when it comes to story. One thing goes wrong or one fanbase or group bitches and they can the story and start all over. You can't do that. You can't be afraid. You have to pick a direction and stick with it for awhile unless what your doing is really insulting or offensive (like the Iraq story).
I know there were issues before this but the main problem I feel was Sheffer tying up Steve's amnesia too early. I get what he was doing. Fans were on him from day one about the promises he made regarding the couples so he wanted to please people early on. However, the story was there. You even had Billie, who Steve had a nice rapport with, there as an obstacle or you could've brought the Ava character on or someone like her at that point. Steve and Kayla needed obstacles and the story was set up perfectly despite the summer of 2006 upheaval. They tied it up and Sheffer kind of didn't want to. You could tell so the show comes up with the brainwashing angle, which was just a continuation of the amnesia story only Steve had his memory. What made that worse was the fact that Hogan could not use the people he wanted to. Bo and Hope presence alone could've helped that story but I digress. Really, both the amnesia and brainwashing stories could've worked as one and served the same purpose. That along with Billie/Ava/or someone else could've thrown alot of story at Steve and Kayla for months, if not years. That was the kind of story Steve and Kayla needed.
If you go back to the 90's, recent fans were taken on a journey. When Hope returned, they didn't know her. Most knew Bo/Billie or Bo/Carly. Days didn't force J&M or Bope together in the 90.s They allowed for them to face new obstacles different then the ones in the 80's and through those obstacles recent fans got to see their own Bope and J&M love stories. Old fans were reminded of what was so great and new/recent fans were shown why the couples were important and grew attached to them themselves. That is what Steve/Kayla needed. They needed to be kept apart for awhile and challenged for a long time so today's audience could see them come together for themselves. They could get a modern version of their love story in a sense, just like the 90's with J&M and Bope. Longtime fans would be reminded of the special element of Steve and Kayla and new fans would be introduced to it. They would become endeared to them through that. You can't just put a couple on the canvas. You need to show the viewer why they are special. The upheaval kept the show from coming up with a steady throughline for them and you really have to rope fans early with this kind of stuff because, if enough time passes, fans just give up and don't care and I think that happened with Steve and Kayla. if things were different, I doubt many would see Steve and Kayla as expendable.
The only real time I think the show captured their magic was during the quarantine story in November 2006 and in December 2006 when Steve remembered. Other then that, I think it's been hit or miss, which is a damn shame.

After a few minutes of observation, it almost seemed futile. They just weren't going to do it.
Nope, nothing but fanning tails that bobbed mostly to the right.
A short while later, no longer being watched, or so they thought, the dogs started squabbling over dinner, and what do you know, there it was.
The tail of the aggressor had switched directions and was absolutely wagging to the left.
Who knew — the wagging tail, long held to be the sign of a happy dog, is only half happy.
And it appears a dog can wag its tail and still be in a biting mood.
An Italian researcher said as much more than seven years ago after conducting a study in which he concluded the tail wag of a dog definitely has directional significance.
Assessing 30 pet dogs, Giorgio Vallortigara and his team documented the direction of the dogs' tails when exposed to different things. When the dogs saw their owners, other humans and a cat, their tails wagged to their right side, but when they were faced with a larger, unknown dog, they wagged to the left.
Additionally, researchers found they also wagged to the left when they were alone.
Humans may not be able to tell one wag from another, but the next natural question for the team was whether or not other dogs could.
In a 2013 follow-up study, they showed dogs videos of other dogs wagging their tails. When the dogs saw other dogs wagging to the right, they remained relaxed and happy, but when they saw left tail wagging, they became immediately distressed with raised heart rates and increased anxious behavior.
The conclusion: Yep, they get it.
Admittedly, it has always been a mystery. Newly introduced dogs can greet each other with wagging tails and seem to be getting along fine one second, only to be locked in a ferocious death match the next, and all without a growl or obvious clue as to who or what started it.
Turns out, they've been silently throwing down the gauntlet all along.
Vallortigara's theory is that the dynamic is tied to left-brain right-brain processes. Typically, the left side of the brain, which controls the right side of the body, is associated with the happier qualities and the right is associated with caution, which he believes, explains why a dog's tail wags to the right when they are happy, and to the left when they are on the defensive or anxious.
A handy tool to have, watching the wag just might be the best key to understanding what is going on in a dog's brain or at the very least, determining if they are happy to see you, or feeling edgy and possibly aggressive.
Of course only dogs really know what the wag means, and some tail wagging may be harder to judge than others, particularly with dogs that get the whole back end going or those who have no tail at all.
Whatever way the wag goes, when all is said and done, it's not the tail that will deliver a slurpy kiss or a snappy bite, so don't forget to keep an eye on the business end of the dog, too.

UC Santa Barbara Holds Candlelight Vigil For Victims In Isla Vista Shooting 0
Shots were fired one late Friday afternoon that echoed down the streets, that crept into the windows of apartments and homes, that injured many and ended up killing six. Moments later the gunman was exchanging bullets with police officers. A minute after, the gunman fled and crashed his car that was blinking red as screams filled one unforgettable night in Isla Vista, California. One second later it was over for Elliot Rodger as he was found behind the wheel with a gunshot wound to his head.
Among the dead were three UC Santa Barbara students as the shooting took place near the campus, according to ABC News. On Saturday, May 24, students held a candlelight vigil for the victims. The campus opened its Emergency Operations Center for those in need and lowered their flags to half staff to honor those who were caught in the tragic event reported the Washington Post.
A father of one of the victims blamed the death of his son on "irresponsible politicians and the NRA," reported the L.A. Times. This brings up the recent controversy of gun laws and also echoes the fact that violence surrounding college settings are not entirely unheard of as riots were running rampant at this year's VEISHEA celebration at Iowa State University.
Below is an excerpt from "Together We Rise: Isla Vista After the Shootings," written by Emile Nelson, an editor for the Daily Nexus, UC Santa Barbara's long running newspaper.
It's sad that it takes a tragedy like this to remind us how important the people and relationships we have are, but we need to use this as a time to show each other that we're not just contacts in a phone or friends on Facebook; we're not just kids in class or people you see at the gym. We're family. And now more than ever, we need to remind ourselves just how much we really do care about one another.
The entire event is a tragedy, in every since of the word and it's unfortunate to hear of the reasons behind Rodger's actions. It seems that bullying and rejection played a big role in his psyche and motivations. As somebody that has gone through bouts of depression, that has dealt with all form of rejection and similar issues, I can relate. With that being said, I agree with Nelson from the Daily Nexus, as he stated that "we're not just contacts in a phone or friends on Facebook." And I wanted to add another idea to that.
There's a real person behind every name in a chat box and we have to treat each other with courtesy and respect. This idea should extend not only to those you feel is family but to those who you may not even know. It's important to be genuine, to be a good human being because you never know when the smallest joke can slowly build into a huge, scary problem. Now of course, there are many factors that led to what happened, that led Rodger to do what he did, but if we all can treat each other with just a little bit more humanity, it can go a long way and I believe it can truly make a difference.

The supply of electricity is plentiful and demand is stagnant, which was bad news for electric companies yesterday.
Results of an auction to set part of the wholesale price of power in Ohio and other locations were being digested yesterday, after having been released late Friday. Analysts who follow power companies found reason to be concerned from an investment point of view.
Akron-based FirstEnergy is poised to take the biggest hit, analysts said, a view that sent shares down sharply yesterday morning. American Electric Power and other owners of power plants are also likely to see a squeeze on profits, analysts say.
"Obviously, we are disappointed with the results," said Doug Colafella, a FirstEnergy spokesman.
FirstEnergy's share price closed down 6.5 percent, or $2.76, at $39.86. AEP, based in Columbus, saw shares fall 2.4 percent, or $1.15, at $46.56.
The auction was held this month by PJM Interconnection, the company that manages the flow of power in a territory that includes all or parts of 13 states, including Ohio, and the District of Columbia. The results set the "capacity" price that power-plant owners will receive from the local utilities that deliver the electricity.
PJM holds the capacity auction to make sure that its territory has enough power to cover the hottest days of the year, when demand is highest. Owners of power plants compete to offer the lowest price to provide portions of the region's maximum needs.
The auction sets the price for three years in the future, which PJM does to allow companies to prepare to meet their obligations, and to respond to signals about whether there is enough electricity to meet demand.
The price will be $59 per megawatt-day starting in June 2016, down 56 percent from the previous price. For a typical household, the drop in the price would translate to savings of a few dollars per month, if the utility passes along the full decrease in costs.
Power-plant owners will feel a much greater sting. For example, an owner of a 500-megawatt plant will receive about $11 million for the year under the new capacity price, down from about $23 million under the previous price. Capacity payments represent one small part of a plant's income.
" The ugly reality (is) hard to deny," said Dan Eggers, analyst for Credit Suisse, in a note explaining his firm's downgrade of FirstEnergy. He said a variety of factors are leaving "energy and capacity prices weak."
Sanford C. Bernstein and Co., an investment research firm, is estimating that FirstEnergy will see its earnings per share drop by $1.19 when the new capacity price takes effect in 2016. No other company would see a drop of more than 50 cents per share. AEP's hit would be 26 cents per share.
AEP spokeswoman Melissa McHenry said the results of the auction were lower than what the company thinks is appropriate. "It doesn't provide the revenue to support existing power generation or encourage the construction of new (power plants), and we do have concerns about that in the long term," she said.

If anyone ever did a word search of four decades' worth of these columns, it is not likely that cat would ever show up. I am neither pro-cat—I sneeze when one comes near—nor con-cat—I don't want to lose any cat-loving readers. I am just neglectful of felines. But a recent review in the Times Literary Supplement (January 14) of Donald Engels's Classical Cats: The Rise and Fall of the Sacred Cat impels me to overcome my neglect of the creatures.
Reviewer Peter Green, like Engels an aelurophile (cat lover), wonders why the author, an economic historian, would take up the subject. Here's why: Cats have been humanity's bulwark against rodents, the main carriers of typhus and the bubonic plague as well as devourers and spoilers of needed food. A scholar investigating the logistics of Alexander the Great's army came up with these useful statistics:

Should you care to communicate with me, please do so only if you're able to actually spell the words you wish me to read, possess the grammar skills considerably north of the third grade shitheads that were routinely picked last for the squad because of a complete lack of anything remotely resembling athleticism and understand what syntax is without looking it up. I'm not interested in reading about the desires of a dimwitted palisade. Photos? If sending me pictures of your dick is your idea of making an impression upon me, allow me to disabuse you of any such notion,you're too fucking stupid for words and me. And those that wish to relate how they might visit some sort of degrading, pathetic, twisted behavior upon my person, set a time and a place in the South Bay area of SoCal and I'll be there with bells on. I'll consider myself blessed to do you and all the sane women you're too commiserable to date a favor. I'm not a fan of morons. The pusillanimous little worms that the word miserable would effectively be considered a compliment,, incapable polite discourse should remain in their demimonde while leaving me alone to pursue an actual life without being subjected to the anthropoid detritus too fortunate to still be alive. If this narration strikes you as a bit condescending, tough shit. This is real world prose you'll never understand, because anti-social, narcissistic weenies have no clue. If in any way your avidity suggests women should accede when what you consider a reasonable request is made, say it walking. I'm a lady that requires proper respect, as I maintain a deportment that provides respect as a matter of course. If by chance you're just plain fucking normal, we'll get along fine. If you read this and believe you're capable of doing the dog and pony with such aplomb I'll not see the fraud, prepare also for truly bad day.

Housing Resources and Solutions for a New Era
Pat Thorton, Special to The Washington Informer | 6/12/2013, 3 p.m.
As the United States closes the gap in our recovery from one of the most severe economic downturns since the Great Depression, Americans need to take a serious look at our alternatives, and advocate for strategies that will make consumers whole again. One of my concerns regarding the state of our economy is that not enough support has been given to the victims of the housing crisis that began this catastrophic era.
As an economist, I have frequently looked back on the questions and decisions that were made in the post-Depression period, and wondered why we are asking the same questions and having some of the same battles we had then. As I consider these questions, I realize that if we are to survive this horrific period, there must be a shift in the strategies to bring us back to a solvent economy.
As we seek a solution to this crisis, I believe we have to focus on the primary causes of the problem – the over-inflated housing cost, coupled with a shift toward a technology driven workplace. These factors have created "under- water" mortgages, and the high rates of unemployment which have just begun to steadily decline. Although the primary way to address unemployment driven by technological advancements is to increase training opportunities, both traditional and non-traditional, the solutions for the housing crisis are multilayered, and will require a total shift in focus.
The State of Maryland has figured out a way to bundle services in a manner that appears to be working. "Maryland's strengthening economy and improving housing market are creating great opportunities for many Maryland families," says Raymond Skinner, secretary of the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, (DHCD). "Interest rates remain at historic lows and the state offers several homeownership incentives through our Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) for first-time homebuyers, veterans and military families and for families looking for homes in targeted areas throughout the state."
Skinner was appointed to his position in 2007 by Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley. He previously held this position from 1999-2003, during the administration of Gov. Parris Glendening. Skinner has more than 35 years of experience in a variety of positions including executive management at the highest levels of state and local government. His areas of expertise include urban planning, affordable housing finance and development, strategic planning, public policy development and analysis, community/economic development, and small business finance.
With Interest rates lower than they have been since the 1950s, DHCD has begun to leverage its dollars by backing mortgage loans for first-time homebuyers and military veterans; and offering assistance with closing costs. Current interest rates are between 2.75 percent - 4.00 percent, and closing cost support ranges between, $5,000-$10,000. For more information about MMP visit: www.mmprogram.org or call, 1-800-638-7781.
Further, Maryland has model programs and resources not only directed toward struggling homeowners, but also geared toward helping residents take advantage of this small window of opportunity to become homeowners. From the revamped HOPE (Home Owners Preserving Equity), to the utilization of the federal HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program), Maryland has outperformed Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and D.C. in helping households refinance their homes. For more information about the HARP visit: www.harp.harpmortgagelender.com/check-eligibility.

4 Big Volume Gainers Under $10
>>5 Dividend Stocks Set to Give Shareholders a Raise
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside today.
BioMimetic Therapeutics (BMTI)
This company develops and commercializes innovative products to help stimulate the body's natural tissue regenerative process. This stock closed up 5.1% to $4.05 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $3.86-$4.18
52-Week Range: $1.87-$4.83
Volume: 51,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 73,624
From a technical perspective, BMTI trended up today right off some near-term support at $3.80 with light volume. This move is quickly pushing BMTI within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once BMTI manages to clear its 50-day at $4.13 and then some more overhead resistance at $4.19 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in BMTI as long as it's trending above today's low of $3.86, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 73,624 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then look for BMTI to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $4.53 to $4.83. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $5 to $6 into focus for BMTI.
TearLab (TEAR)
This is an in-vitro diagnostic company, engaged in commercializing a proprietary tear testing platform that enables eye care practitioners to test for highly sensitive and specific biomarkers using nanoliters of tear film. This stock closed up 8.5% to $4.45 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $4.06-$4.55
52-Week Range: $0.98-$4.88
Volume: 663,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 134,276
Shares of TEAR ripped to the upside today after the company reported third quarter net revenues of $1.2 million, an increase of 264% from $333,000 for the same period in 2011 and up 69% sequentially from $716,000 in the previous quarter.

First Time Yeast Infection Sufferer
So what is a yeast infection?
A vaginal yeast infection is a common condition inside the vagina caused by an overgrowth of yeast (Candida) that normally live in the vagina. Your doctor may call this infection "monilia" or "candidiasis." Some women may have burning, itching, or irritation on the skin outside the vagina (vulva) at the same time that they have a vaginal yeast infection.
What are the symptoms of a yeast infection?
When you have a vaginal yeast infection, you may have one or more of the following symptoms: vaginal itching, vaginal discharge that may be thick, white and lumpy like cottage cheese, vaginal soreness, irritation or burning, rash or redness on the skin outside the vagina (vulva), burning upon urination, and painful vaginal intercourse (sex).
Note: Vaginal yeast infections do NOT cause fever, chills, lower abdominal, back or shoulder pain, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, or a missed period. These may be signs of a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or a tubal pregnancy. If you have these symptoms, call your doctor right away.
If this is your first yeast infection, it's important to talk with your doctor first to confirm the diagnosis. Not sure what to ask? There are some questions about your first yeast infection to discuss with your doctor below. Once your doctor has confirmed it's a yeast infection, take a deep breath and reach for MONISTAT®. MONISTAT® is the #1 brand recommended by doctors to cure a yeast infection among OTC (over-the-counter) treatments.
Some things that you can do to prevent vaginal yeast infections are:
- Avoid scented hygiene products like bubble bath, sprays, pads, and tampons
- Change tampons and pads often during your period
- Avoid tight underwear or clothes made of synthetic fibers
- Wear cotton underwear and pantyhose with a cotton crotch
- Change out of wet swimsuits and exercise clothes as soon as you can
- If you keep getting yeast infections, be sure and talk with your doctor
Learn what else can cause a vaginal yeast infection.
First Time Yeast Infection Questions
Take this list of questions about yeast infections with you when you visit your doctor.
- Besides the symptoms that I have, are there other symptoms that are common signs of a vaginal yeast infection?
- What could be causing my vaginal yeast infection?
- What kind of treatment do you recommend for the fastest relief?
- If I do have a yeast infection, would a MONISTAT® 1-, 3- or 7-day treatment be more appropriate for me?
- Would I get faster relief from discomfort and irritation with an over-the-counter (OTC) topical cream like MONISTAT® or an oral prescription?
- Will my treatment interact with any OTC or prescription medications I'm taking?
- Do I have any health conditions that may increase my risk of contracting or complicating a yeast infection?
- If I get another yeast infection, is it all right to treat myself with an OTC product such as MONISTAT®, or do I need to call you first?
- What should I tell my partner about my yeast infection? Are yeast infections transferable?

LG Flatron L1960TR
Like the previous model, the Flatron L1960TR employs a TN matrix with response time compensation and dynamic contrast mode. The specified response time has been reduced twofold, but we'll see below how great the difference really is. The viewing angles have become those of a typical TN matrix, 160 degrees. And I don't think any user will catch the difference between the viewing angles of the L1960TR and the L1900R visually.
As opposed to the previous monitor, this one is designed in a classic style, with a stern-looking glossy black case, a round stand, a minimum of decorative elements, and an external power adapter. And a TN matrix with response time compensation inside, as you remember. I wouldn't say this is an eye-catching and extraordinary design, but it is certainly memorable. I have no doubt there'll be people who'll like it.
This side view shows you that the stand is actually large and is quite capable of keeping the monitor steady. As concerns functionality, the stand only permits to change the tilt of the screen.
A decorative panel hides the monitor's connectors at its back. Unfortunately, it makes the L1960TR incompatible with standard VESA mounts.
There is a normal selection of connectors here: a D-Sub, DVI, and a power connector.
The Power button is touch-sensitive and is organically built into the metallized shiny band that goes along the monitor's bottom. The rest of the controls are placed on the side panel with all their labels. This is not handy and is going to be irritating until you learn the positions of the buttons by heart. However, this solution helped clear the monitor's front panel from any buttons or labels. There's a downside to everything in life.

The head of the United Nations climate change body is fighting to remain in his post after an inquiry criticised his organisation's response to errors in its most recent report.
The credibility of Rajendra Pachauri and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been undermined since erroneous predictions were found in its 2007 report, including the claim that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035, 300 years earlier than predicted by most glaciologists.
It was also tainted by the publication of e-mails from climate scientists at the University of East Anglia, who had contributed heavily to the body's conclusions.

3rd October 2011
The recent Hungarian Wheelchair Fencing World Cup competition was held at the Eger City hotel, Eger, Hungary, 8 - 12 September.
Seven fencers represented Team GB, including Simon Wilson, Craig McCann, Tom Hall-Butcher and David Heaton, Vivien Mills, Justine Moore and Gabby Down.
Team Manager Baldip Sahota said: "The GB Squad showed some spectacular moments of fencing both in their individual matches and in the Team Event. These now need to be repeated more often to overturn the narrow defeats to victories."
A rundown of the results are as follows:
Men's Foil, Cat A
There were 43 fencers in Cat A Men's Foil, with fencers from Hong Kong, China, France, Italy, Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Belarus, USA, Kuwait, Serbia and India.
Simon Wilson went through to the Direct Eliminations having beaten the Polish fencer Pender (eventual quarter finalist) in the Poule round. This was a great victory for Simon to go through to the L32 where he met Nalewajek also of Poland and narrowly missed out on a L16 position by one hit at 15/14.
Tom Hall-Butcher and Craig McCann finished 36 and 37 respectively.
Men's Foil Cat B
This was David Heaton's first international competition since taking up Foil and unfortunately did not progress to the DE's.
Women's Epee Cat A
13 year old Gabby Down went through to the Direct Eliminations finishing at a final placing of 16, with Vivien Mills at 21.
Men's Epee Cat A
After the poule rounds Simon Wilson was ranked 28 and Craig McCann 38. Simon went on to fence Yusupov in the L32 missing out at 15/6.
Women's Foil Cat A
With a field of 24 International fencers Gabby Down came 23 and did not progress to the DE's.
Women's Foil Cat B
Justine Moore was ranked 11 after the poules and came up against the number 6 seed Vasileva of Russia in the DE to go out 15/2.
Men's Sabre Cat A
Tom Hall-Butcher was placed 16 after the poule round and went on to face Febvre of France who denied Tom a L16 position by 15/13.
Men's Sabre Cat B
David Heaton faced Pluta of Poland to go out 15/9 and finish overall at 13 from a field of 17.
Women's Sabre Cat B
With a return of Women's Sabre to international fencing, Cat B was a small field of 6 fencers. Vivien Mills was up against Fidrych of Poland going out 15/6.
Men's Foil Team Event
Men's Foil was the only team fielded by GB.
After an exciting start against Belarus the Men's Foil Team lost 45/30.
This led to a playoff against the USA which started with a very one sided lead to GB, however USA fought back very well, but GB held their own and eventually won 45/44.

neither guy fits what we need at the moment, doesnt make any sense. IGGY wouldve made sense up until we got melo. we have our guy now, now we need size/defending bigs and a scorer off the bench in the barea mold maybe.
Trade for IGGY or Ellis Thread, IGGY is a stud on both the defensive and offensive side of the floor, guy can flat out jam. Eliis is just an all around scorer and averages about 2 steals a game. I would love to have one of theese guys on this team. What happens if paul doesnt get traded to us?
neither guy fits what we need at the moment, doesnt make any sense. IGGY wouldve made sense up until we got melo. we have our guy now, now we need size/defending bigs and a scorer off the bench in the barea mold maybe.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Ellis fits like a glove. He's much more than an undersized 2-guard. He ran that offense at times, even with Curry on the court. But more importantly, he shined when Curry was out of the lineup and Reggie Williams played the 2.
Monta brings efficient scoring (yea he's a volume shooter, but he was hovering around 47% for a good portion of the year.....that's just stupid), he can facilitate, and he's freakishly athletic.
The way I look at it is this....CP3 brings intangibles that very few other players do, but Ellis brings tangibles that a lot of other players wish they had as well...including CP3, that's without delving deeper into the details. On the surface, both guys bring things the other doesn't, but I believe both would fit if added to our current core.
if we could trade for Monta...I would not be mad at all.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I say we trade for ellis or IGGy now b4 its too late.....
The thing is, CP3 can hold out and not sign an extension for any other team except for the one he wants to get traded to. So if he wants to come here, fine, we'll get him.
But I think Ellis will be slightly cheaper, and I'm not so sure that he won't have just as big an impact as CP3. I have a good friend who's born and raised in Chi-town and talks about Rose like he's the second coming of Jesus...but when the convo somehow got to Ellis and I was like "dude...Monta is pretty much a less hyped up, less national media attention, on a worse team, Derrick" he had no argument. They have very very very similar skill sets, except Monta has a better shot.
The athleticism is there, the explosiveness is there, the finishing is there, both get to the rim, Ellis has a better jumpshot, he has better footwork, Ellis averaged 5 assists per 36 mins along with 21 points @ 45% from the field on 18 shots...dude....
I think....I think I would take those numbers....the # of shots can come down a shot or two to get STAT & Melo more opportunities, and his assists would go up, but still....dude....
If I have to choose between Monta now, or CP3 possibly in the future, snap decision, I take Monta now and let it ride.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
cp3 is gona cost some $$$ crippling our cap, **** that I like iggy or ellis and a top 12 big man on my team than just 1 star.
naw dalembert wont be more than the mid-level exemption. as for chandler if i had my pick between him and paul. im choosing chandler were not in a position where we NEED a superstar, we need a C and im all for spending our cap space and not having enough to go after Paul next year i just dont think wasting--may not be the best word--it on ellis or iggy would be the best move for us. ellis needs the ball as do melo and stat, iggy would be better suiting but hes a 3 and so is melo so the fit isnt there for us. we shouldnt focus on these guys cause they're available. focus on a C then from there we look to get scorers or whatever.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
If we can swing this deal....I think we have to. Only if it's feasible tho, if they ask for too much, then just send those same assets to NO for CP3. But there's a serious log jam in the back court in GS...Monta is likely to really be traded this time.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Is it only me who is wondering who the hell we have on our roster other than Melo/Stat that could land us either of these guys in a trade??
