Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Im sick of seeing young LB's every year stepping up while we have the same B.S....& every draft theres some draft genius that claims theres not LBs that were worth taking & defends these bums that we have.....Remember that P.O.S Goff had a fanbase somehow????? People were waiting on dillard, Somehow Danny Clark got a pass, Wilkison got a pass, Greg Jones was crowned all pro before he ever took a snap......Were VERY lucky that Williams actually seems to be a half way decent LB.....
Rivers is another teams throwaway.....Blackburn could be a OK backup
williams is not the awsner.. all year you hear guys complaining about how we can't stop the run, why we can't have more exotic blitz packages, why are de's are trying to do more than just rush you just watch teams rip apart the middle of the field with short dump pases or running plays... it's because we don't have a single linebacker that can do his job anymore than barley efficient.. end of story.
An upgrade would be great, but my the biggest concerns (rightfully so) are on the d-line and secondary. If we can get a LB who is clearly BPA in the early rounds, then great. If not, hopefully we can pull another Jesse Armstead out of our a**** in the late rounds.

It's time to rebuild trust among authors, editors and peer reviewers
David Resnik
By the mid 1700s, editors at the world's first scientific journal had a problem on their hands. Since its inaugural issue in 1665, the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London had published many outstanding scientific papers, including such classics as Isaac Newton's experiments with prisms. But some authors had begun to submit works of fiction and rambling speculative essays. To maintain standards of quality, the editors of Philosophical Transactions launched a system of peer review to evaluate manuscripts before publication. Two centuries went by, however, before the system really caught on. In the mid 20th century, increased specialization, government support for research, and competition for journal space compelled editors to seek assistance from experts. Today, peer review is an essential part of scientific publication and is also used to evaluate manuscripts, grants and academic careers.
In publication, peer review serves two distinct functions: It ensures that work is published only if it meets appropriate standards of scholarship and methodology, and it helps authors improve their manuscripts. The process, familiar to many American Scientist readers, begins when authors submit a manuscript to a journal, often with a list of suggested reviewers and a list of scientists who should not see the work. The journal editor sends papers of interest to members of the editorial board or outside experts who review the work for free. These referees assess the manuscript for originality, importance, validity, and clarity. They also advise the editor about the manuscript's overall merit and provide written comments—usually anonymously—for the authors. Finally, the editor decides to publish, reject or request revisions to the manuscript.
Although it is hard to imagine how science could progress without independent evaluation of research, peer review is an imperfect system, fraught with questions of bias, efficacy and ethics. At each step of the process, there are opportunities and temptations for reviewers to go astray, and these can take many forms, from simple negligence to intentional abuse for personal gain. If scientific publications are to remain a reliable record of knowledge and progress, editors and reviewers must actively cultivate high ethical standards.

ESPN Around The Horn Eli
Opinions I see in this thread, I heard in this debate.
ESPN Around The Horn Eli
Opinions I see in this thread, I heard in this debate.
One of the things that blows my mind is that if you asked fans of every team, "if you could have same season as any other team in the league over the last 10 years", I would think the answer would be the Giants more often than not.
Every single day I log onto this message board thinking i've seen it all, every single day I am wrong...NYGiants2120
How many starters that could push Eli is irrelevant, they aren't going to go out and sign any of them.
I am not suggesting they should go out and try to find that next guy, just yet, I am questioning your notion that it isn't possible. At some point in every athletes career, they start to decline. Some would suggest that has already started with Eli, I don't agree with that, but when it does happen they need to have a plan in place or face some pretty rough seasons scrambling after the fact.
I understand your appreciation for Eli, but trust me, there will be other QBs that play for the Giants, and it is very likely they will eventually find one just as good or better. When that day comes, you will hear people talking about how this new guy is irreplaceable, and you will remember that you once thought the same thing about Eli, reveling in the knowledge that they too will one day learn that no one is irreplaceable.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I`d go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I`m now resigned to the fact that this won`t happen. -- Michael Strahan, just when you think you're down...
Because of all of the effort and examination being poured into these predictions, the draft is a robust market that, in the aggregate, does a good job of sorting prospects from top to bottom.1 Yet despite so many people trying to beat the market, no single actor can do it consistently. Abnormal returns are likely due to luck, not skill. But that hasnt stopped NFL executives from behaving with the confidence of traders.
I have suggested that the search for TC's replacement has started, and will be done throughout this season. The Giants will have a plan in place when they pull that trigger (or TC does)
Every single day I log onto this message board thinking i've seen it all, every single day I am wrong...NYGiants2120

A 12-year-old reported missing on Monday has been found
CARTERET COUNTY - A 12-year-old reported missing on Monday has been found.
FBI officials said that Abigaile Lefevers and Timothy Newman were located in a parking lot a block from Interstate 95 near Miami. She is alive and safe, and authorities told her father that she was taken to the hospital to be checked out. Newman is currently in custody.
An Amber Alert was issued for Lefevers Monday evening. Officials on Tuesday filed a warrant for Newman's arrest. That warrant, which carries a charge of child abduction, was filed through NCIC and NCAWARE.
Abigaile was last seen by her father at their home on McNeill Road in Newport around 10 p.m. Sunday. When the father awoke Monday morning at approximately 6:25 a.m., he noticed his daughter was missing.
"To think that anybody would take my 12-year-old daughter away from me after her mother passed away last year," Robert Lefevers said.
Abigaile's alleged abductor, Newman, was last seen at approximately 10 p.m. Sunday by his roommate, deputies said.
Carteret County deputies said Tuesday that Abigaile and Newman were in Myrtle Beach, SC, and traveling along the coast of South Carolina.
Newman is also said to be a former truck driver, and authorities said if Newman is still traveling, he could be doing so on back roads to avoid any major highways. Deputies said Newman was driving a red 1998 Chrysler Sebring with North Carolina license number AKT-6534. The car was seen Monday morning on Highway 17, near the South Carolina border. Following reports of the sighting, the search continued south into Florida on Wednesday.
Deputies said Newman has had contact with Abigaile in the past several weeks. Newman is a registered sexual offender.
Abigaile's father is in Carteret County. There's been no word if he'll go to Florida to get his daughter, or if she'll be transported back to him. Newman will face charges in North Carolina; there is no word yet if he'll face charges in other states.

1. What makes PicMonkey Made of Win? Features Galore!PicMonkey, is MADE of WIN! This beloved site with happy hipster styling beautifully filled in when Picknik went away. [pours some Diet Coke out for my fallen homey] Really, for 94% of what you need to do with images this site can do & WAY easier than Photoshop. I even thought of making a Comic Tutorial for it - but it really is SO easy and intuitive I don't think you need one!
PicMonkey is a creation of several former Picnik engineers and "offers a simple and easy to use tool for editing and altering your images. Even if Picnik was still around, PicMonkey would be a great alternative!
The entirely Web-based editor is fast and effective, and among the cleanest interface (PicMonkey and Ribbet will be fighting Smackdown style for that title) for a photo editor (Web or desktop) that I've come across."
Easy to use PicMonkey has amazing FREE features that if you don't want to spend the $ on Photoshop this should make you very happy. Easy text layering, cut-outs, arrows, speech bubbles, frames, & easy crop & resize means anyone can make their pics for blogs, wikis, & sites beautiful and easy breezy!
Worth the Royale treatment, for a few dollars a month (the price of a latte) those extra perks make this digital image manipulation site a winner. Remember, no awesome Ad-Free site will remain 100% FREE forever.
SUPER COOL UPDATE! Flickr & Tumbler Integration!
One of the things that first impressed me so much w/ PicMonkey was how responsive they are on Twitter. They care, they listen, & they respond! Follow them! PicMonkey
2. Ribbet: Advanced Editing, Your Fonts, & Flickr Integration
Ribbet is "built on the same platform that made Google's Picnik great and is an easy to use yet powerful online photo editor. You can use Ribbet for collages, touch-ups and advanced photographic effects like curves and clone tools, fonts, frames, stickers, vampire effects, beards, and an entire pond full (yes, get ready to deal with some froggy puns) of effects. Like Picnik, there will be a free and a premium version." But try it out NOW when ALL the features are FREE, at least as of (3/13)
How is Ribbet different than PicMonkey?
Create Transparent PNG's!
You can also go into Advanced editing with Pixlr so you can use the magic erase wand & eraser to remove a background - save it as a transparent .PNG (never .JPG) this way you can superimpose one photo over another like I did with the Ribbet frog on a branch over a black background in my example. Ribbet also saves your photos during your latest session in a "tray" where you can go back to them. That's pretty neat. AND yes, Ribbet is also very communicative, responsive, & friendly on Twitter! Follow them
3. Picadilo: Super Touch Ups & Totally FreePicadilo is a totally free online photo editor that's easy to use.
Pros: Slick interface, nice features, text overlays make this a standout. I especially like the Miniaturize photo effect example on right.
Cons: I did notice a few hiccups with the ladybug spinning as I tried to upload a pic to edit.
With Picadilo you can "enhance your photos using effects, versatile editing tools and a wide range of textures. Some of the best features are the photo mosaic and the ability to use multiple windows - commonly available in only much more expensive photo editors."
Cool Features From the site: Multiple windows "Don't be restricted to working on just one photograph at a time. Let your creativity run free by loading more than one photo and work on them side by side. You can also select and copy regions from one photograph to another creating new interesting effects."
4. Photocat: Cute Kitty - Limited Features - Take a Pass!
Photocat was "launched in late 2012 as another entrant in the crowded field on online Photo Editors. Since Google closed down the Picnik service in early 2012 we have seen an array of new services like Ribbet, Picmonkey and now Photocat."
Pros: Photocat offers the standard array of basic photo editing features - with the addition of an excellent collage option. Between the collage, some nice holiday features and some advanced handling of large images.
Cons: Better like the layer you're editing because once you navigate off it - there's no going back. Unlike all the other editors mentioned you can't re-edit or reposition text once you navigate away from the Text editing page.
This is a BIG Kitty Litter Smelly DRAWBACK! Sample of the Dashboard is below.
Another HUGE Con -- You can't place text on different lines -- they all go in one straight line (no return) AND there are only a handful of fonts to choose from. Boo Hiss!
Sites that don't edit - but they are blingtastically, hugely, glittery fun to play with!Big Huge Labs is a wonderful site where you can make motivational posters, movie posters, magazine covers, badges, mosaics, collages, calendars, frames, and a lot more. BigHugeLabs has established itself as one of the biggest destination websites of its kind. Follow BigHugeLabs on Twitter

I started putting swarm boxes out today. I put the same box in the same location I got one last year. The swarm I got last year is in a hive next to it. Is this problematic to a swarm looking for an available home? On one hand,the good smells emulating from the occupied hive might enhance the swarm box location. The other hand, suggests, mother nature might not want two hives too close to each other and pass it up. (I'm thinking the former) I'll have a couple others in good locations 1/4 mile apart. If this location is a bust, I'll move it.
Thoughts appreciated

Soccer Heads To UCF Tournament
Aug. 29, 2012
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia soccer team is back on the road this weekend, heading to Orlando, Fla., to participate in the UCF Tournament on the campus of Central Florida. The Bulldogs will take on South Florida in neutral-site action on Fri., Aug. 31 at 5 p.m. before taking on the host UCF Knights on Sun., Sept. 1 at 2:30 p.m.
Georgia will offer live audio coverage for both contests on Georgiadogs.com with commentary from Kevin Copp beginning just prior to kickoff. The Georgia Soccer Live Blog will also be up and running in addititon to live scoring.
Last Time Out: Georgia Soccer went 1-1 on its weekend in the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence, Kan., falling by a slim 1-0 margin to the host Jayhawks on Friday night before rebounding with their largest scoring output since Sept. 2010, defeating South Dakota State 5-0 Sunday to pick up the split. Redshirt freshman Bella Hartley scored two goals to lead the way vs. SDSU, while redshirt sophomore Caitlin Woody picked up the shutout in her first career start in goal. Georgia improves to 3-1 on the season.
After the weekend it was announced that Hartley as well as defenders Rebekah Perry and Torri Allen were named to the KU Invitational All-Tournament Team.
Looking at the Bulls: South Florida is 2-1 entering this weekend's tournament, losing to UCF and defeating Miami in a weekend of in-state showdowns two weeks ago before defeating Indiana 3-0 last time out.
The team has been led in the early-going by freshman goalkeeper Christiane Endler's 13 saves and two shutouts, while junior forward Sharla Passariello has three goals in three games including two in the Indiana win.
Series History, Georgia vs. South Florida: Georgia and USF have played just once in their histories, with Georgia winning it 3-0 back onb Sept. 9, 2007. The Bulldogs got goals from Lindsay Stein, Caroline Simpson, and Marah Falle that day.
Georgia is 5-4 all-time vs. the Big East, with that win over South Florida serving as UGA's last win over the conference. Georgia last played a Big East time last season, falling 3-2 to Villanova in Athens.
Looking at the Knights: UCF is ranked No. 9 in this week's NSCAA/Continental Tire ranking, entering at 3-1. The Knights most recently downed Miami 1-0 on a goal for senior forward Nicolette Radovcic, while the team already has wins over USF and Florida Gulf Coast this season. The team's lone loss came to No. 1-ranked Florida by a 1-0 score.
Radovcic and Jennifer Martin each have two goals to lead the way so far for UCF. The squad reached the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight last year, their best finish since 1987.
Series History, Georgia vs. Central Florida: Georgia is 2-0 all-time vs. Central Florida, though the teams haven't met since 1998. Georgia won back-to-back games over the Knights in both 1997-98, and the Bulldogs are 5-1 all-time vs. Conference USA opponents. Georgia last faced a CUSA team in 2003, when it beat both Rice and Houston.
About the Bulldogs: The 2012 Bulldogs returned nine starters and 16 letterwinners from last season's NCAA second round campaign, including All-SEC midfielder Alexa Newfield and goalkeeper Ashley Baker. The squad also welcomes in eight freshmen.
In 2011 Georgia made the field of 64 and reached the second round for just the sixth time in school history, putting together a record of 13-7-2 (6-3-2 SEC). It was Georgia's fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament in the last five seasons and eighth overall, as UGA defeated Kansas in the first round before falling to the eventual national runner-up Duke, 3-1.
Georgia's 2012 schedule is again a difficult one, with the squad set to face off against 11 NCAA Tournament teams from last season as well as five teams that were ranked in the preseason NSCAA top-25 poll.
Eyes on Newfield: Junior midfielder/forward Alexa Newfield will be one to watch in 2012, as the returning All-SEC and NSCAA All-South Region first team selection is back from a 2011 season in which she broke the Georgia school record for shots (102) and points (40) in a single season. She entered 2012 ranked second at UGA in career shots with 189, as well as fourth all-time in points (60), and fifth in goals (24).
Newfield led the Bulldogs in both goals (16) and assists (eight) last season as a sophomore, and ranked atop all the major offensive categories in the SEC in 2011, including goals (16), goals per game (0.73), shots (102), shots per game (4.64), points (40), points per game (1.82), and game-winning goals (7).
In opening weekend she lifted Georgia to the double overtime win over UNC Greensboro, converting on a penalty kick.
Bulldogs Ranked No. 27 in NCAA Projection: The Georgia soccer team comes in at No. 27 this week in the Top Drawer Soccer "Tournament 64" rankings, after starting No. 25 in the preseason edition and moving to No. 24 in week two.
The rankings are a season-long attempt to project the postseason college soccer tournament qualifiers, including every automatic conference berth. Florida State, Stanford, Duke, UCLA, and Oklahoma State make up this week's top 5.
Georgia is one of six Southeastern Conference programs included in the latest projected tournament field, joining eighth-ranked Texas A&M, No. 16 Florida, No. 26 LSU, No. 35 Tennessee, and No. 38 South Carolina. The SEC sent eight teams to last season's NCAA Tournament, which ranked second-most among any conference in the nation behind only the ACC's nine.
Updated projections will be released every Monday during the season, and differ from traditional "top 25" rankings.
Milestone Nearing For Holeman: Georgia head coach Steve Holeman needs just eight more wins to secure the 200th of his career. He entered the season at 189-137-37 overall in 18 seasons at Auburn, Ole Miss, and Georgia and now sits with 192 career victories.
That ranks him tied for 46th all-time in career victories among active Division I coaches, and seventh in the SEC.
Next Up: Georgia returns from its four-game road swing to welcome New Mexico to the UGA Soccer Stadium next Friday, Sept. 7 for a 7 p.m. meeting. The Bulldogs are then off for the remainder of the weekend before opening SEC play the following weekend with Vanderbilt and Arkansas coming to Athens Sept. 14-16.

Report Traces Baccalaureate Origins of Science and Engineering Doctoral Recipients
The National Science Foundation recently released a report detailing the large role played by U.S. research universities in the baccalaureate education of U.S.-trained science and engineering (S&E) doctorate recipients.
In 2011, the year the latest information is available, 35 percent of individuals earning S&E doctorates from U.S. universities held bachelor's degrees from foreign institutions, and 29 percent earned bachelor's degrees from U.S. doctorate-granting institutions with very high research activity.
Of the top 50 U.S. baccalaureate-origin institutions that awarded S&E doctorate degrees from 2002-2011, all but one are research universities with very high research activity.
Public universities also play a prominent role in the baccalaureate training of U.S. S&E doctorate recipients: approximately two-thirds of the institutions on the top 50 list are public institutions.
For more information on this report, please contact Mark Fiegener.
Please visit the NSF's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) for more reports and other products.

'No Genre To Tie Us Down' Route .44
The new release from Route .44, This is My America (Blue Radio Records), provides further insight into lead singer Ian "Lefty" Lacombe's affinity for the dark side, as the enigmatic southpaw guitarist delves even deeper than on the acclaimed 2'07 debut, Worthless Lessons. But Providence native Lacombe and his seven mates know that accolades and first-prize ribbons don't pay the bills.
"We have won a lot of awards over the past couple of years, and it's nice to be recognized for our hard work, but we can't make a living off of awards," Lacombe said. He then addressed the Rhody music scene, tongue firmly planted in cheek: "Bands are now competing with 300 channels of high-def cable, the Internet and video games, and people can now live their entire existence without ever leaving home," he said. "People can text their dealer, have a bag of weed dropped off at their house, order pizza, and play Guitar Hero until the sun comes up. Why leave that glorious life?
"You'll see long lines at the downtown discos while phenomenal musicians are playing in front of nobody. You can blame everyone — from bars to clubs to bands to fans — but the reality is that live music is a dying art, and unless we find out how to get people into the clubs, we will lose live music. Maybe that's not so bad to some, but to me it's another lost resource, another piece of civilization discarded."
But misery loves company, and the octet attracts fans with a unique sound, often drawing comparisons to Morphine (thanks to the horn section of Matt Swanton and Paul Choquette), with Lacombe playing the part of Mark Sandman, especially on tracks like "Barfly" and "Lonely Together," where he quips, "I say that patience can wane on the hardest man, a couple of drinks and the walls are coming down tonight." Vocalist Jess Powers often offers an ethereal counterpoint to Lacombe's bluesy outlook; on "What I Am," she rides shotgun while he slyly addresses his female antagonist: "I'm a serpent in a man, a serpent in human skin." And on "The Blame Game," Lacombe channels Tom Waits with a throaty growl: "Blame is the name of the game you refrain from accepting," followed by an eerie chuckle of "it's all good, man, it's all good." This Is My America (available at cdbaby.com, Route44.org, and iTunes) is bookended by songs addressing the current (and shaky) state of the union, but the core of the text remains unrepentant heartache and revenge. Lacombe has said he's not inspired by happy-go-lucky love.
"Yeah, my wife was really happy to read that quote," he said, cracking wise, "but it's the truth. There was a long time following Worthless Lessons when I couldn't write anything. Simply put, I was a happy man. Not that I'm unhappy now, but I am looking outside of my personal life to find inspiration and, sorry to say, it's everywhere now. That's where the darker tone of this album stems from."

In Ghana, police assault journalist, seize his equipment
Abuja, June 15, 2012--Authorities in Ghana must investigate the assault on a journalist by police while covering a police raid in Ho, the capital of Ghana's Volta region, and bring the perpetrators to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Victor Kwawukume, who reports for the state-owned Daily Graphic and is the regional chairman of the Ghana Journalists Association, was attacked by four unidentified police officers on June 10 as he covered a raid in Ho in which police arrested suspected criminals and drug peddlers, according to news reports. Kwawukume said he verbally identified himself as a journalist, but the officers attacked him, violently hitting him on the head and seizing his camera, the reports said.

Introduction Summary
This is the story of God's sovereignty, goodness, and faithfulness to Mary Rowlandson. She wrote the narrative of her "captivity and restoration." Until now, it has been private. This is the second, amended and corrected draft of her story. She wants to make her story public so that others, particularly her family and friends, will read and be amazed at the works of the Lord. [This narrative takes place during King Philip's War.]
At sunrise on February 10, 1675, many Indians with guns attack Rowlandson's town of Lancaster, Massachusetts. Rowlandson looks outside and sees houses burning and the Indians beginning to take prisoners. She espies one neighbor begging for his life and others being shot down or cruelly murdered. Unmoved by their cries or pleas, the "murderous wretches" continue to burn and destroy everything around them. This is the "dolefulest day" of Rowlandson's life.
Finally the attackers reach the Rowlandsons' house, which is located on a hill. Many family members are home and they fight together against the invaders. The house and barn are surrounded by Indians; they begin shooting at the house and those trying to protect it. The attack continues for two hours and several are wounded before the Indians set fire to the main house. Inside, some are fighting for their lives while others are "wallowing in their [own] blood." The six dogs, which would normally have attacked any Indian who came to the door, are now afraid, and the mothers and children are crying out for help.
Finally Rowlandson and the others have to leave the burning house and are met by tribesmen wielding guns, spears, and hatchets, ready to "devour" them. Immediately Rowlandson's wounded brother-in-law falls in death and the Indians strip him of his clothes as they continue shooting. One bullet goes through Rowlandson's side, also hitting the child she is carrying in her arms. Her nephew William's leg is broken before he is killed. Indians begin to wrench children away from their mothers; seeing this, William's mother (Rowlandson's sister) cries out to God, asking Him to let her die, too. As soon as she says it, a bullet strikes her dead.
The Indians promise Rowlandson not to kill her if she will go with them. She had always thought she would rather die than be an Indian captive; however, their fierce weapons change her mind and she agrees to go with them.
Of the thirty-seven people in the house, twenty-four are taken captive, twelve are killed, and one escapes to tell the story. Rowlandson is going to write about each "remove" [journey] she takes with her captors and how God was with them.
The First Remove Summary
Mary Rowlandson and the other captives are bleeding and wounded on the outside while their hearts are broken on the inside. They walk with their captors, "barbarous creatures," for about a mile before they stop for the night. They spend the night on the top of a hill, overlooking their bloodied and burning town of Lancaster. When she sees an abandoned house, Rowlandson asks if she can spend the night inside it but is scorned for still loving the life of the English.
It is the "dolefulest night" for Rowlandson, as she watches her dark captors roar, sing, dance, and yell. The entire display resembles hell to her. Just as awful are the wasted animals, confiscated during the attack: horses, sheep, cattle, swine, lambs, pigs, and chickens. The Indians feast on some of them and are joyful in their bounty; the captives, on the other hand, are miserable.
That night, Rowlandson is not only miserable from the events of the day but also disconsolate about what she has lost. She is separated from her husband (who was away, though the Indians promised to kill him when he arrived back in Lancaster) and has lost her friends and family as well as her house and worldly possessions. Though she has her life, she understands that might be taken at any moment, too. That leaves her nothing but a wounded child, and she sees nothing in her current circumstances to give her hope. The "savageness and brutishness of this barbarous enemy" weighs heavily upon her.
The Indians tell her the eight people savagely murdered in Lancaster last year were killed by one-eyed John and "Marlborough's Praying Indians" that Captain Mosely brought to Boston.
The Second Remove Summary
The morning after the Indian attack, Rowlandson and the others turn their backs on their town (Lancaster) and start their journey as captives, walking into the "vast and desolate wilderness" unknown to her. Neither her spoken nor her written words can adequately express her sorrowful heart or the bitterness of her spirit as this journey begins. Despite that, God helps her bear the burden and lightens her spirit enough to allow her to keep moving.
One of the Indians carries Rowlandson's wounded daughter on his horse; the child continually moans that she is going to die. Rowlandson walks behind the horse and finally takes her child, carrying her until her strength runs out and she stumbles. She and her child are placed on a horse with no saddle; they travel uneventfully until they ride down a hill and, because there is nothing to keep them on the creature, fall off the horse over its head. The Indians rejoice at the spectacle, laughing and ridiculing Rowlandson and her child until she thinks this must surely be the trial which finally ends her life. But God once again shows His great power by giving her the strength—more than she could ever have imagined—to continue.
It begins to snow, and that night Rowlandson sits in the snow in front of a small fire with her feverish child on her lap and a few branches behind her for a bed. Her own wound has made her so stiff that she can hardly sit down or stand up, and she has no one near her to offer comfort or help. The fact that her spirit does not "utterly sink" under her affliction is due entirely to God's "gracious and merciful spirit." Both she and her child live through the night.
The Third Remove Summary
In the morning, Rowlandson and her wounded daughter ride on a horse behind an Indian; both are in a "lamentable condition" because they have eaten nothing for more than three days. In the afternoon, they arrive at their destination, a village called Wenimesset, and are immediately surrounded by natives, her "merciless enemies."
The next day is Sunday, and Rowlandson considers how many Sabbath days she wasted, how careless she has been with "God's holy time." She knows God has every right to cause her to be punished, yet He continues to show her grace and mercy despite her failings.
Another captive comes to see Rowlandson. He tells her that an Indian once healed him by putting oak leaves in his wound. Rowlandson puts oak leaves on her own wound and is eventually healed. During this time, Rowlandson's daughter Sarah cries incessantly, and the Indians threaten to harm the child if she is not quiet.
Rowlandson sits on her knees with her wounded, sick child on her lap for nine days, still without any sustenance. Sarah dies that night, on February 18, 1675, at the age of six years and five months. Before, Rowlandson could not bear to be in the presence of a dead body; now she lies next to her daughter's cold body and thanks God for preserving her sanity and preventing her from trying to take her own life during that long night.
In the morning, the Indians realize the child is dead and take Rowlandson to her master, Quinnapin (a Sagamore married to King Phillip's sister) who bought her from her original captor, a Narragansett. She wants to take her daughter's body with her but has to obey them. When she is able to leave her master, the Indians show her they buried Sarah on the hill.
Rowlandson goes to see her ten-year-old daughter, Mary, who is in the same town. Mary was taken by a Praying Indian and sold for a gun. When Mary sees her mother approaching, she begins to cry...

The Fourth Remove Summary
The Indians disperse and Rowlandson is forced to leave her fellow captives and what little comfort she had. She has to leave her daughter Mary (whom she will not see again until she sees her "in Dorchester, returned from captivity"). She is also separated from "four little cousins and neighbors" (whom she will never see again, and only God knows what happened to them). Rowlandson learns that the miserable woman with whom Rowlandson read the Bible for comfort did deliver her child but so vexed her captors about going home that they finally beat her and then stripped her and her child naked before burning them alive. The woman prayed but shed no tears during her ordeal, and the Indians warned the captive children that this...
(The entire section is 275 words.)
The Fifth Remove Summary
Rowlandson believes she and her captors have to move again because the English army is following them. They send men back to hold off the soldiers while the others (the old, the young, the women, and the infirm) travel as quickly as possible to the Banquag River. The entire party arrives on Friday, just after noon, and there are too many of them for Rowlandson to count.
Because of her wound, Rowlandson does not have to carry anything but her knitting and two quarts of parched meal. Though she is weak from hunger, when she asks her mistress for a spoonful of the meal, her request is denied.
The Indians quickly cut dry trees and make rafts to carry the tribe across the river. Though others get their feet and...
(The entire section is 408 words.)
The Sixth Remove Summary
It is now Monday, and the Indians have burned their wigwams behind them before crossing the river to escape the English army. It is a cold morning and the river has a thin coat of ice on it. During the crossing, some wade into the water "up to the knees and higher," but others search for a drier crossing. Rowlandson and some of the others walk until they find a beaver dam to assist them in their crossing. God's providence keeps her feet dry during the ordeal.
Rowlandson spends the day in mourning because she is now even farther from her "own country." As she travels into this "vast and howling wilderness," Rowlandson believes she understands how Lot's wife must have felt when she was tempted to look...
(The entire section is 249 words.)
The Seventh Remove Summary
After a "restless and hungry" night spent near the swamp, Rowlandson and the others survive a "grievous day of travel." She feels as if her heart and legs will both break and fail her, but she is encouraged and somewhat comforted to see signs of English cattle and people near the trail. Soon Rowlandson sees an English path, and the sight alone is enough to make her want to lie down and die.
Shortly after noon, the tribe stops at Squakeag so the Indians can glean whatever they can find in the English fields, including ears of wheat, Indian corn, ground nuts, and frozen sheaves of wheat which could be thawed and threshed. Rowlandson is able to gather two ears of Indian corn; however, as soon as she turns her back,...
(The entire section is 275 words.)
The Eighth Remove Summary
Tomorrow the tribe crosses the Connecticut River to meet with King Philip. Just as Rowlandson is about to step into a canoe, an outcry and scurrying occurs because the Indians discover some nearby English scouts. As the tribe regroups to make the crossing further downriver, Rowlandson's son Joseph unexpectedly finds her. They remember their past life and bemoan their circumstances but are comforted by the words of Job and Psalms in the Bible. Rowlandson is thankful that God has been good enough to remind her of comforting verses throughout her harrowing ordeal.
The tribes travel until night and in the morning Rowlandson is part of the group which crosses the river for the meeting with King Philip. She is amazed to see...
(The entire section is 494 words.)
The Ninth Remove Summary
Instead of going either to Albany or toward her home (Massachusetts), the tribe goes five miles upriver and crosses it. They live here for a while. One "sorry Indian" asks Rowlandson to make him a shirt, which she does, but he refuses to pay her. He lives near the river, so each day when she fetches water she calls to him to pay her. Finally he tells her he will give her a knife if she makes him another shirt for a yet-to-be-born papoose. She makes the shirt and he gives her a knife. Her master demands that she give it to him and she does, pleased that she finally has something which he might find acceptable.
Rowlandson's mistress has been gone for three weeks in the Narragansett country to find corn and returns...
(The entire section is 420 words.)
The Tenth Remove Summary
Today, a small group of the tribe journeys three quarters of a mile away, and they intend to journey even farther away tomorrow. Mary Rowlandson is among this group. The group arrives at the site where they intended to set up their encampment for the night; after they pitch their wigwams, Rowlandson is hungry and must think of how she will feed herself. She goes back to the place they "were before at" and hopes to find some kind of sustenance. She goes to the wigwam, encouraged by the squaw's former kindness; the woman had asked her to come back, so that is what Rowlandson does.
While she is there, an Indian who was sent to "look after" her manages to find her and kicks her out of the kind squaw's wigwam....
(The entire section is 202 words.)
The Eleventh Remove Summary
The next morning, the group starts traveling once again, intending to journey up the river. Mary Rowlandson puts her loaded pack on her back and soon they all have to wade across the river. After that, they trudge over "tiresome and wearisome hills." One of those hills is so treacherously steep that she nearly has to crawl on her hands and knees to reach the top; all the while, she has to hold onto twigs and branches in order to keep herself from falling back down the hill.
Rowlandson grows so lightheaded that she often finds herself reeling unsteadily as she walks. Her only hope in the midst of her torment and captivity rests in the thought that these "wearisome steps" which she now takes are just a precursor...
(The entire section is 168 words.)
The Twelfth Remove Summary
The tribe leaves again on a Sunday morning; this is the day Rowlandson asks her master if he would sell her to her husband. He says "Nux," and Rowlandson rejoices in her spirit. Her mistress leaves to attend the burial of a papoose and comes back to find Rowlandson reading her Bible. Immediately the mistress snatches the book and throws it outside. Rowlandson retrieves it and puts it in her pocket, careful never to let her mistress see it again.
Rowlandson complains that the load she must bear for the journey is too heavy, but all her mistress gives her is a slap across the face and a command to go. Rowlandson expresses her sorrows to God and hopes her redemption is near because her captors' "insolency [grows]...
(The entire section is 448 words.)
The Thirteenth Remove Summary
The group travels away from the Bay (near Rowlandson's home) and heads five or six miles downriver where they stay for almost two weeks. An Indian asks Rowlandson to make him a shirt in exchange for food; when she asks him about her son, the Indian taunts her, saying he ate the boy (and he was "tasty"). She consoles herself with the knowledge that the Indians are rarely truthful with her. That night a squaw throws ashes in Rowlandson's eyes, but she is not blinded. She is discouraged and beginning to think that all her "hopes of restoration" will amount to nothing.
Rowlandson dreams of being rescued by the English army or being sold to her husband as her master has discussed. Unfortunately, her master is not...
(The entire section is 506 words.)
The Fourteenth Remove Summary
It is time for the group to pack up and move from this encampment and begin journeying toward Baystown. Rowlandson has only a few crumbs of cake to eat; it is has been in her pocket since the day she was captured and it is so moldy she can hardly tell what it is. The cake is dry, crumbly, and hard, "like little flints," but it is enough to sustain her when she grows faint with hunger. Even as she eats the crude and meager food, Rowlandson thinks about how she will tell others, if she ever returns, that God blessed her with sustenance.
Along the way, the Indians kill a deer which is pregnant with a fawn. The Indians give Rowlandson a piece of the fawn, and it is tender enough that she can eat both the meat and the...
(The entire section is 270 words.)
The Fifteenth Remove Summary
The Indians' journey soon continues. Rowlandson gets a handful of nuts as her food for the day and puts on her loaded pack, finding herself in good spirits because she has food and is heading homeward. Her back is more burdened than her spirit this morning. At the Banquang River, the group stops again for several days.
Rowlandson is randomly given a pipe, a little tobacco, and some salt by members of the group; she trades these items for a little food. She is often so greedily hungry that, when she is given a morsel of hot food, she burns her mouth in her haste to devour it—and would do it again if she were given the opportunity. Now that she has been "thoroughly hungry," Rowlandson is "never again...
(The entire section is 207 words.)
The Sixteenth Remove Summary
The group must wade across the Banquang River. The water is cold and up past Rowlandson's knees; she is so weak and the water is so swift that she is afraid, after surviving so many other trials and tribulations, this will be the last thing she does before she dies. The Indians laugh at her, but God gives her strength when she remembers His promise to bring her through the river without drowning (Isaiah 43:2).
When Rowlandson finally crosses the river, she sits down to put on her shoes and stockings as tears run down her face. Nevertheless, she rises and rejoins the group. Soon an Indian arrives to announce that Rowlandson must go immediately to Wachusett (where her master is) because a letter has arrived at the...
(The entire section is 259 words.)
The Seventeenth Remove Summary
This is one of the most comfortable journeys Rowlandson has made because she is so hopeful. At the beginning of the day, she is loaded with a pack, as usual, and feels quite strong; however, she soon realizes that her spirit is stronger than her strength. It is not long before both are depleted.
That night the Indians sit down by one of the wigwams and talk, but Rowlandson is too exhausted even to speak. She goes inside the wigwam and finds an Indian boiling horses' feet (the last part of the horse the Indians ever eat). Rowlandson asks him for some of the broth, which he gives her along with some samp [a kind of Indian porridge], telling her to drink as much as she is able. She eats and her spirits are revived. The...
(The entire section is 201 words.)
The Eighteenth Remove Summary
Today is a wearying day of travel. Along the way, Rowlandson sees an unknown dead Englishman, stripped naked and lying on the ground. Soon the travelers arrive at another Indian village where they spend the night. Rowlandson discovers four English children living in this village, one of whom is her niece, her sister's daughter. Rowlandson checks on her, and the girl is doing well, "considering her captive condition." She wants to spend the night with the girl, but her captors do not allow it.
In another wigwam, Indians are boiling corn and beans; it would be a delightful meal for Rowlandson, but she is not allowed to eat any of it. Two of the other English children are living in another wigwam where Rowlandson...
(The entire section is 283 words.)
The Nineteenth Remove Summary
Today's journey to Wachusett is especially exhausting, but Rowlandson takes encouragement from the Psalms. King Philip is traveling with them and says she will be reunited with her master (who had been absent for three weeks) today and with her husband within two weeks.
When her master sees her condition, he insists that Rowlandson wash herself (something she has not done for a month) and be given food. She is quite revived by his kindness.
Her master has three squaws with whom he alternates living; here he lives with his old squaw. Another of his squaws is Weetamoo, "a severe and proud dame" who dresses like an English noblewoman. Rowlandson has been living with and serving Weetamoo for the past...
(The entire section is 269 words.)
The Twentieth Remove Summary
The group travels three or four miles and sets up a wigwam that will hold a hundred in preparation for a celebration. They fear the governor will be upset by the Sudbury massacre and will no longer be interested in redeeming the captives. Indians begin to gather and Rowlandson longs to see her family, who are still in captivity, but she is not allowed to do so. The Indians are tyrannical, but soon Rowlandson will be free.
John Hoar arrives with a third letter, and Rowlandson is finally able to talk to him and learn that her husband and friends are well. The next day, Hoar invites the Sagamores to dinner but discovers the Indians have stolen nearly all the provisions he brought with him. By God's mercy, the Indians do...

Comprised of close-knit neighborhoods of emerald trees and quiet streets, a downtown of lively entertainment, and a food scene that caters to predictable and daring tastes, Portland, Oregon, is a city that thrives on contradictions.

Spend a lively First Thursday in the Pearl District, where the warehouses have transformed into galleries, lofts, and boutique shops. The Portland Farmers Market offers a treasure trove of organic delights, which pair swimmingly with any one of countless spirits from the city's thirty breweries or several nearby vineyards.

Manipulation H1-B visa abuse betrays American Tech workers, helped by Zuckerberg's PAC
Original post made by H-1B FACTS, Evergreen Park, on Apr 13, 2013
In almost all the reporting done on H1-B immigration, almost no FACTS are reported that relay the sheer betrayal of qualified American tech works that Zuckerberg (a Palo Alto resident), Eric Schmidt, John Chambers, Bill Gates, and others of their ilk are pushing for.
Those men made billions off the backs of American high tech workers, and they are using blatant deception and outright lies to support their cause to bring in more H-1B workers.
Some of the information presented in the following links would shock most Americans, because American corporate leaders don't want us to know the truth, and they are paying off policy makers with contributions to keep the truth from us. The H-1B fiasco has cost Americans $10TRILLION dollars, since 1975. For anyone who wants to know the truth, read on.

To me this H1B Visa thing would mostly be OK if the corporations and the people who made all this money of them PAID THE TAXES THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.
Reagan set this up, CUT, CUT, CUT until the end goal is to get rid of taxes and instill the idea that paying taxes at all is unacceptable. If Zuckerberg, Gates, Chambers. Schmidt, et al paid their damn taxes and quit trying to screw the government and the rest of the country those taxes would be funding American students to learn computer science and the high-tech skills that are necessary.
The vision and the trajectory for the country this has brought about has been the main thing that provokes most of the problems we have now, not to mention the total lack of respect for the truth or honest argument and discussion and the buying of the media to prevent or distort news and information.
These people are killing the goose that laid the golden egg so they can play at being big shots ... like the big shots in other countries that by our culture should not even exist.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 14, 2013 at 12:47 pm
And not to mention that these technologies of today can spread and create weapons of mass destruction in ways that trying to develop the world by buying cars and TVs from other countries never did.
We cannot have a society that survives when we let people who do not care about its survival and integrity open the gates and let too many people in and too many secrets out.

Why does anyone even listen to Mark Zuckerberg? He is childish, immature, naive, easily swayed by a smooth talker, undereducated by a mile, self-centered, and in desperate need of supervision, and appears to have no mind of his own. And that is only what family members who work for him say!
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 14, 2013 at 11:40 pm
Scmuckerberg nailed it ... but they listen to him because he controls over a billion dollars ...
My question is ... WHY DO WE KEEP SEEING THIS PATTERN OF VERY RICH PEOPLE TAKING THE MANTLE OF SUPERIORITY AND POWER AND WRECKING THE COUNTRY FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH EGO GRATIFICATION - WHY THE HELL DO NOT ALL AMERICANS WHO PROBABLY GET THAT THIS IS NOT WORKING - DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !
I have a great respect for anyone that comes up with any great idea, even one as a simple-minded as Facebook, but because someone creates some system of generating money it does not make them a fit executive, legislator, or judge, or leader or moral authority ... or anything but a guy who hit on an idea before someone else ... and there is always someone else who would have the idea.

H1B Visa's are doing to the tech industry what Illegal Immigration has already done to the trades.
Basically, it's a form of outsourcing. It's lowered the standards in the trades. Unfortunately, the current generation doesn't have a frame of reference for the quality, honesty and dependability of blue collar workers before they were all replaced by illegal immigrants.
It's only a matter of time before the same is true for the tech industry.

Look for fall-themed hair pins:
For up 'dos, half up 'dos and even an all-down look, several bobby pins are used to secure or complete the hairstyle. Consider using bobby pins that have a decoration like a leaf at the end of the pin. It will add a finished look to your style while also holding hair in place. You can also find them in several colors so you can match your wedding colors or add an accent.

What would have to happen for them to beat the Giants? On the surface it looks like mission impossible for them
They are simply outgunned at every position on the field
What would have to happen for them to beat the Giants? On the surface it looks like mission impossible for them
They are simply outgunned at every position on the field
they have a shot.
Their D has to get turnovers and make stops. And obviously their O needs to not turn the ball over and make every possession count.
If they do that, they can win.
I hope these things don't happen and we crushed them, but hey anything can happen
"...two minute drill at the end of each quarter, Ya'know with the wind like this blowing mooch and marshall into the ocean...If that's behind me I think were getting 3 from 70 so holla at your boy. IF YOU DON"T PICK ME THAT'S A JOKE RIGHT?" - Justin Tucker, Ravens kicker
Complain?, ain't Nobody got time for dat!
yes but do they have any unit, player, etc that has superior ability to our people? like they have a better xxxxx than us
they def have a chance. They did beat us twice last season. TWICE. Of course i think we'll get them back this time.
If we don't contain RG3, it'll be a long game for the Giants
So if we do not fully contain Bob Griffin, and Eli and Ahmad run wild we will definitely have a long day
Their D is a pretty sad unit
If they swept us last year with Rex Grossman then anything is possible.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
1) The Redskins lost their two best defensive players and they aren't presuring the QB.
2) Their passing offense is ranked worse than 25th in the league. Eli has both Cruz, Nicks (shook off the cobwebs last week), Bennett, & Hixon. Who the hell is going to stop all of these guys.
3) Our offensive line has already gelled and our running game is really kicking arse.
4) Our defensive line is coming together, getting more pressure on the QB while our secondary (Prince in particular) is coming into his own. We will have at least one interception and probably two.
5) Our kickoff return is one of the best in the league (Wilson is a beast) and he will set up great field position.
Now that I laid it out, I'm putting my money where my mouth is. Giants are only favored by 6 LMAO! This game is a bettors wet dream.
well that's true but the 2011 Skins beat the 2011 Giants
I dont know if the skins upgraded........but we have added SIGNIFIGANT new talent at a lot of positions
I guess we'll see Sunday and I almost guarantee you no Skins fans will come back here like a lot of SFO fans did to eat their crow......it will hurt just too much for a so so team's fans.......they will feel crushed
ummm well the NFL would have to happen for them to win
you do watch games other than ours right?
Green Bay 3-3, NE 3-3 ... SF loses to the Viks
this league is all about parity
and turnovers, we turn the ball over and they dont ... look out
plus would it be impossible for RG3 to rip off a 50 yard TD run, throw another 50 yard TD pass ... drive one down for a TD, another for a FG ... ST TD ... that's a lot of points with nothing outrageous occuring
if the favs always won, we could all make a killing in Vegas
Apologize to Melo 5


text: I've highlighted some of the amazing punt returners we can find in this year's draft by not using a first round pick on Ted Ginn Jr. Thank you, Rick Gosselin for the numbers.Quality late rounders: Steve Breaston, Ryne Robinson,Yamon Figurs, Jacoby Jones, Selvin Young NFL door open for kick returners Hester's impact as rookie benefits players in 2007 draft 02:36 PM CDT on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 By RICK GOSSELIN / The Dallas Morning News rgosselin@************** The Chicago Bears won their NFC championship in the second round of the 2006 NFL draft. That's where Chicago, with the 57th overall pick, selected a player without a true position. The Bears weren't sure if Devin Hester would be a cornerback or a wide receiver in the NFL, but they were certain he could return kicks. His ability on special teams, generally a forgotten phase of football on draft day, powered the Bears to an NFC-best 13-3 record. Hester scored an NFL-record six touchdowns on a variety of kick returns. Hester returned three punts for touchdowns, including an 83-yarder in the closing minutes of a 24-23 victory at Arizona. He also returned two kickoffs for touchdowns and ran back an errant New York Giants field goal try an NFL-record-tying 108 yards for a sixth score. "He showed special teams to be very important to football," said Michigan wide receiver Steve Breaston. "You can make big plays there. You can't take special teams lightly. They can help you win ball games." Breaston figures to be one of the players who benefits from Hester's showing in 2006. The NFL is a copycat league, so teams will spend more time studying the elite kick returners in the 2007 draft in an attempt to find difference-makers of their own. Breaston will be among the most scrutinized. So will Ted Ginn Jr. of Ohio State, Aaron Ross of Texas, Yamon Figurs of Kansas State and Jacoby Jones of Lane. All could go higher on draft day because of the Hester factor. "I'm a big fan of Hester," Ginn said. "I watched him through college. He helps me out a lot. If he can do it, I believe I can. I'm not trying to be cocky, but we do have the same ability and the same type speed. If he can go out and do it, I can do it, too." Hester added a seventh touchdown in the Super Bowl when he ran back the opening kickoff 92 yards against the Indianapolis Colts. Ginn had a similar moment in college football's national championship game when he ran back the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown against Florida. Like Hester, Ginn can return punts and kickoffs. He led the NCAA in punt returns (25.6 yards) as a freshman and kickoff returns (29.6 yards) as a sophomore. Ginn set a Big Ten record with six career punt returns for touchdowns and also scored twice on kickoffs. Breaston set Big Ten records for career punt returns (127) and yardage (1,599). He scored four times on punts and a fifth time on a kickoff. Miami of Ohio's Ryne Robinson returned seven career punts for touchdowns, one short of the NCAA record. He averaged 13.8 yards on 121 career returns. Figurs got everyone's attention at the NFL scouting combine with his 4.26-second speed in the 40. He jumped out at NFL talent evaluators on his game tape, as well, with his career averages of 23.7 yards on kickoffs and 11.5 yards on punts. He was the All-Big 12 kick return specialist in 2006. Jacoby Jones returned four career kickoffs for touchdowns at the NCAA Division II level and scored a fifth touchdown on a punt. Texas' Ross and Selvin Young also should benefit this month from the Hester factor."Hester brought back the importance of the kick," Young said. "A lot of teams settle for what they can get on a return. Now guys are looking to take it to the house. I have a few of those on my record – a couple of punts and kicks in the same game, in fact. I'd like to do some of that at the next level." Young returned a kickoff 97 yards and a punt 39 yards for touchdowns against New Mexico in 2003. He also ran a punt back for a touchdown against Tulane in 2002. Ross scored three times on punts and averaged 11.3 yards on 76 career returns. "Those [returns] are something that can get the crowd, the fans and everyone on their feet," Ross said. They can also help win championships.

For example, "get unique item X from top 10 player Y". It would be interesting if the top players had to deal with hordes of lower players after their loot.
This could be turned into an interesting mechanic. Instead of making it the top 10 players, you could assign a number of GM's to act as semi-pc's. Their characters would react as an NPC when a player clicks on them, and they can modify or rotate the quests they give. At the same time, they move around and level with the players. You could have some of them at the max level, and others assigned to restart, level up new characters so there are always these semi-pc's at many of the levels.
Furthermore, you can tie storyline/faction warfare/whatever into this. Make helping the semi-pc's level up, or just helping in general get buffs/bonuses for whatever team helped them.

What happened and Miki came first??
And what went wrong with russian ladies, I was hoping Makarova to improve from last year, Leonova is a matter of time anyway to dropped off, once the wonderbabies become eligible in seniors.
I obviously lost the competition.
It will depend on all three factors (GPF placements, Nationals, and ISU ranking).
I stop listening to Johnny when he mentioned his favorite skater. I just knew it was based on other things beside skating. I never got the hype on Ksenia. She's a nice enough skater.I guess I should have known when Johnny called Ksenia the "next big thing" it was just another one of his flaky comments.
Can't wait til the Russian babies become eligible to see how well they perform. A couple of them have to hit it big.
Last edited by lavender; 11-20-2010 at 01:38 PM.
If Mao shows a decent performance between TEB and Nationals, I'm assuming it'll be Miki, Mao, and whomever performs better at Nationals between Akiko and Kanako. If Mao doesn't get her jumps back before then, it'll be Miki, Akiko, and Kanako (still a formidable team, IMO).
Sidenote: they always have funky rules for Olympic years. Last season, they had the "top finisher in GPF" rule, and for Torino, they had a points-based system based on cumulative performance in the past Olympic cycle (which is how Miki got in despite not doing too well at Nationals).
I bet Miki changes her SP between now and the GPF. The judges just seem to hate it and are unwilling to give her a good score for it regardless of the jumps she lands. The LP is a snooze but the judges are at least giving her big scores for it.
But you are right - and actually it will be fun to see how Russian Natls turn out. Their Men are a trainwreck but maybe the Russian-Jersey girl Ksenia can defend her title.
I doubt it though - some of those babies really are good.
I mean, seriously, there is an adjustment period they will all have to go through. The physics change as you grow and fill out. It's something you deal with- and some handle it better than others- but it's hardly a "home wrecker" or "worst nightmare"...IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS
It's those who don't prepare for it, or don't think it will happen, that get hit the hardest.
This is why I was hoping at least 2 of the many russian babies will break through because I know some will fall to puberty.
Congrats to Miki for persevering despite injury & pain (ala Rachael Flatt at SA), and to the other medalists as well.
But truth be told I'm glad I didn't watch this one either, not a keeper, hopefully a better skated field at TEB.

CPJ responds to readers' comments on Italy letter
In the past week, CPJ has received a number of emails in reaction to our April 19 letter, signed by Executive Director Joel Simon, to Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, which details cases of harassment by Perugia authorities against journalists, writers, and bloggers who have critically covered high-profile local murder cases. Some of the emails we have received question the accuracy of our letter as well as our motives for writing it. Most of those stem from this post in reaction to our letter by a blogger, who goes by the penname Kermit.

I would be surprised if he goes in the first round. Some people have him projected to the Bills at pick number eight. It just seems that teams haven't placed as big of a priority on the linebacker position recently. I remember guys like Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, every USC linebacker to come out recently, being discussed on here during years past as potential Giants linebackers. Most of those guys went in the second to third round.
It's not that I don't see Manti being a good pro, I can't predict the future. But from looking at recent drafts, I wouldn't be shocked to see one of the most talked about linebacking prospects to go in the second round.

My friends,
I know that i haven't been on in a while--I even left my beekeeping channel up in the air. But after over a year of tests and medications and all that rot the doctors have determined that that I have a form or Psoriatic Arthritis that for some odd reason reacts negatively to sunlight. Normally Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients do well with sunlight and UV light but for me it flares everything up if I am out in it for more than 20 minutes. It's sad really but while I love beekeeping I won't be able to continue. I will finish up my channel with some how to's but other than that I am going to leave it up for any beginner to watch.
I truly appreciate all the advice I got from here and I hope everyone the best. I will be selling some of my stuff on Ebay so if you want the bee suit then just PM and I will direct you. Believe me and ultrabreeze suit is an awesome beekeeping suit.
Take care all.

My value systems are?
Original post made by Ted Rudow III, MA, Palo Alto High School, on Aug 14, 2012
American's elder statesman of finance, Alan Greenspan, has shaken the White House by declaring that the prime motive for the war in Iraq was oil. Alan Greenspan was Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB). He had served on the FRB since 1987 when he was appointed by President Reagan. Dr. Greenspan served on advisory boards for Presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan.
Greenspan was born and educated in New York City, where he earned a BA, MA and, 27 years later in 1977, a PhD in economics. After earning his MA in 1950, Greenspan became a 20-year associate of famed philosopher Ayn Rand, author of books "The Virtue of Selfishness","Atlas Shrugged" and more. Greenspan wrote for Rand's newsletters and authored a chapter for a Rand book. As legend has it, Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan was once a member of Ayn Rand's 1960's salon. He was invited guest at Rand's apartment and apparently was close enough to have read her epic Atlas Shrugged as it came off her typewriter. Philip Rothschilds ordered one of his mistresses (Ayn Rand) to write an 1100-page book that would describe to all witches how they would take control of the World through the Illuminati: It's called Atlas Shrugged.

Ted: I find it as amazing as all the other democrats that Romney picked Ryan. He is NOT a fiscal conservative (he voted for everything Bush wanted.) He wants to privatize Social Security in a way that even Bush/Cheney though was reckless (Bush called it "irresponsible"). Ryan co-sponsored a trans-vaginal ultrasound bill like the one in Virginia (how's that for 'small' government, Ayn!) The list goes on.
Already behind in most of the swing states, this Ryan pick pretty much lock's the race for the White House and gives the Dems a leg up on the (formerly improbable task of keeping the) Senate. While the Dems were favored to gain a few House seats, this GOP ticket may be the gamechanger Nancy Pelosi was looking for to return as Speaker.
Locally, on this forum, I see less of the usual conservations and fringe libertarians posting (anecdotally, of course.) Are they in shock? Ted's Ayn Rand post, in the old days, would have been bombarded by the few, vocal libertarians that post here.
Maybe they all read this from Politico and are going through the 7 early stages of Romney Ryan loss grief (now in denial):
"Away from the cameras, and with all the usual assurances that people aren't being quoted by name, there is an unmistakable consensus among Republican operatives in Washington:Romney has taken a risk with Ryan that has only a modest chance of going right - and a huge chance of going horribly wrong ," Alex Burns, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin report. "In more than three dozen interviews with Republican strategists and campaign operatives - old hands and rising next-generation conservatives alike - the most common reactions to Ryan ranged from gnawing apprehension to hair-on-fire anger that Romney has practically ceded the election. It is not that the public professions of excitement about the Ryan selection are totally insincere. It is that many of the most optimistic Republican operatives will privately acknowledge that their views are being shaped more by fingers-crossed hope than by a hard-headed appraisal of what's most likely to happen. And the more pessimistic strategists don't even feign good cheer: They think the Ryan pick is a disaster for the GOP.
Many of these people don't care that much about Romney - they always felt he faced an improbable path to victory - but are worried that Ryan's vocal views about overhauling Medicare will be a millstone for other GOP candidates in critical House and Senate races."
Along with the first four days of the Romney Ryan team being a disaster (they can't even figure out who''s budget to use, which plan to kill Medicare with, or whose tax cut plan for the 1% to stand behind!) it seems that conservatives are in for a very long 85 days.
Enjoy the Republican convention and try to pretend you don't know you're crowning a ticket that will lose by over 100 electoral votes, dragging the down ticket ballots for the House and Senate with them. With Ryan losing in November and out for 2016, and Christie likely to lose next year, who will the GOP re-group around in 2016?
Another Bush?
