I dunno, maybe they should pull a race from California and give it to a more deserving track, one that sells out!

When NASQUEER gives a free pass to their corporate bed partners(the top 35 in points)week after week it's all about protecting the NASCAR brand. It's not about the racing. It's about the almighty dollar. The fair thing to do is give everyone who shows up at the track an opportunity to make the show by actually qualifying. How refreshing that would be. As for the empty seats, face it folks the fads over. It's all down hill from here. Enjoy the ride....

NASCAR is second only to pro-football in t.v. viewing. Nothing matches it in per event attendance. In sports fans come and go, attendance fluctuates up and down. NASCAR saw a huge boom in popularity in the nineties and early 2000's. With the inclusion of Toyota that popularity is about to boom again. Dale jr's. move to HMS was a major shot in the arm for NASCAR and the first Sprint Cup win by Toyota is going to bring a flood of new fans that are Toyota owners. The COT is bringing revied interest to NASCAR also. 2008 is going to be a monumentous year in NASCAR racing. No, don't be running out and buying a grave plot for NASCAR!

CART through the 60's 70's and early 80's was as popular as Nascar is today. Look what happened to them. With a unified open wheel series, I can see them stealing back alot of the fans and possible drivers.
Tell you what AJ Allemdinger is not going to be satisfied going home every week when he was a winner and championship contender in cart.
#6 Feb 22, 2008
Maybe it's time for AJ to show a little of that talent that got him to the front in CART over in NASCAR. AJ is a sophomore in NASCAR. He doesn't have that yellow stripe on his bumper anymore. Maybe it's time for AJ to poop or get off the pot. Good drivers take a crappy car and finish with it, great drivers take a crappy car and win with it. In order for AJ to make the field every week all he has to do is out run the other 7 or 8 go or go homers. He doesn't even have to race against the top 35. Remember the old saying "Everyone gets promoted to at least their first level of incompetence".

Our research in Student Engagement feeds directly into our practice as educators. We are interested in the following areas:
We conduct internationally recognised research and publish in a range of journals such as: Studies in Higher Education, Psychology Teaching Review, the International Journal of Wellbeing, and Widening Participation and Life Long Learning.

PhD Students
Erasmus The European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students (ERASMUS) supports students to pursue temporary periods of study in other European universities. Although much research exists about the experiences of international students less attention has been given to the specific disciplines of study and the ways this might mediate the experience. It is with this in mind that Jenny Mercer has sought to explore the differences in psychology curriculums between Polish and UK universities, and the way in which Erasmus students from Poland have adjusted to study in a British university.
This study explored accounts of Polish Erasmus students who had taken part in a study abroad year in a British university. The objective was to investigate if prior knowledge of studying psychology in one country mediates the experience in another and to discuss how participants found the process of integration in relation to studying in a different country. Focus group interviews were analysed using a thematic analysis technique. Some challenging contrasting pedagogical and epistemological differences between the two systems emerged and integration between home and ERASMUS students was reported as being low level. Discussions about how these findings can be related to the aims of Erasmus and the wider remit of internationalisation are offered.
The work has been disseminated in both British and Polish journals, and presented at a EUROPLAT symposium about internationalisation.
Adult ReturnersInterest in this topic stemmed from Jenny Mercer's doctoral work looking at access students' transitions into and through higher education. This sought to examine the social psychological processes involved in re-engaging in study. Employing a cross-sectional longitudinal design 31 participants' accounts were gathered at different stages of their educational career: further education (FE), higher education (HE) and six to eight months after graduation. Using both open ended questionnaire booklets and semi-structured interviews, participants were required to reflect on their experiences whilst negotiating these transitions. The data was analysed using grounded theory.
The findings revealed that many changes took place during this period on both an academic and personal level. However, change involved the negotiation of numerous conflicts over time – thus re-engaging with education was viewed as a process of growth and development. Theories of self and identity were drawn upon to illustrate the way in which self both regulates and motivates change. It was suggested that participants assimilated and accommodated the self schema of mature student whilst engaged in study, which became a salient part of their working self concept. The process as a whole was viewed as an example of a non-normative developmental task.
Findings from this research have been published in various journals and presented at conferences with both an educational and psychological focus. Jenny was also invited to discuss her work at a symposium on widening participation run by the Division of Teachers and Researchers at a British Psychological Society's annual conference.
Student Expectations and EngagemenT (SEET) Project The focus of this project has been students undertaking a Foundation Year course prior to entering degree level study. Building a successful foundation? The role of Foundation Year courses in preparing students for their degree. We have undertaken three projects so far.
A study of Level 4 students who completed a Foundation Year was funded by the Higher Education Academy Wales. This study sought reflections from current Level 4 students who had completed one of four Foundation courses across two universities, and collected Examining Board data to assess whether the performance of Foundation graduates is comparable to that of their peers. We also surveyed the number of Foundation courses available according to the UK's University and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS) and found a confusing lack of consistency in the way these courses are described. The results of this study are published in Widening Participation and Life Long Learning under the title
Building a successful foundation? The role of Foundation Year courses in preparing students for their degree.
A study of the expectations, experiences and performance of Foundation Year Students was partially funded by the Welsh Assembly Government New Ideas in Social Research Fund. This study recruited students from four Foundation Year courses across two universities, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data through surveys and focus groups and collected Examining Board outcomes for the four courses. This paper is in preparation.
We recently undertook a study of Foundation Year Programme Tutors to explore their views of this provision, and their experience of teaching on these programmes. This paper is in preparation.
Supporting Students in Transition to Higher Education Working in collaboration with Dr Carolyn Mair of London College, we are looking at ways of developing flexible support for students during the transition to studying at undergraduate level. The focus of the project is to help students develop metacognition, learning how to learn, and improving their confidence in themselves as independent learners.
Mood disorders Mood disorders typically materialise in young adulthood, a life-stage when many begin a higher education course. Starting university can be a challenging time for young people who either enter with, or develop a mood disorder whilst studying. The culture of drinking within universities can contribute to symptoms; whilst issues relating to stigma can deter individuals from accessing support.
Few studies have examined the experiences of students with a mood disorder. This study reported a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with five university students who had personal experience of such a disorder. Participants described how symptoms affected their academic and social experiences of university based around the themes of: Social and family support, Powerful symptoms, Stigma and labelling, and Inter-professional dynamic. It was concluded that stigma and lack of information prevented students from obtaining sufficient support, whilst the addition of key staff such as a university-wide mental health trainer is identified as a potential way forward to help such students negotiate the higher education environment.
The paper was published in the journal Disability and Society
Wellbeing of students in FE The project aims to investigate levels of wellbeing in Further Education students. The project will involve designing a wellbeing measure suitable for this age group. A pastoral intervention programme will be designed in an attempt to increase levels of wellbeing in students. Focus groups will be undertaken throughout the research as a way to ascertain participants' attitudes towards wellbeing.
Well being of Trainee Teachers A study of trainee teachers was funded by ESCalate, the Education Subject Centre of the Higher Education Academy. This study focused on wellbeing of PGCE/PGDE students, the provision of support and the impact of Fitness to Teach guidelines. It involves three cases studies, exploring institutional policy and the perceptions of staff and students to elicit key issues to stimulate debate across the sector.
This three-year longitudinal study explored the approach to study and academic performance of a group of male psychology undergraduates. In induction week, 112 new psychology students completed the survey. Later in the year, some of the males were interviewed in small groups. Performance was measured from marks at the end of Years 1 and 3. In Year 1, compared with their female contemporaries, male respondents had higher self-esteem (p<.01), expected higher marks (p<.001) and anticipated performing better than their peers (p<.05). In interviews, males described themselves as being less motivated and less organised than females, but did not consider this a problem. The only difference in marks showed males doing worse in coursework at Year 1 (p<.05). However, significantly more males failed to complete the course. These findings are set in the context of concerns about under achievement of males and discussed in relation to research into transition to university.
This study which was discussed in the Psychologist was published in Psychology Teaching Review: Rogue males? Approaches to study and academic performance of male psychology students
Exploring the roots of male (dis)engagement in Psychology It is well established that there is a disproportionate number of males to females studying psychology in the UK, both at A level and on degree courses. The purpose of this Higher Education Academy funded project was to discover males' perceptions of psychology and how this might have influenced their subject choices at A2 or of university course. A qualitative design was employed utilising focus groups which were selected in order to offer an environment for individuals to discuss experiences with presumed peers likely to share some common frame of reference. Thirty five males in pre-tertiary education, (18 studying Psychology 'A' level, 17 not) were purposively selected from three centres in South Wales, the Midlands and West of England. An inductive thematic analysis was conducted.
Five overarching themes emerged: 'Why would I want to study psychology? revealed that participants viewed psychology as less important when compared to other discipline areas, and for the majority, not a subject they wished to pursue at university; 'Psychology was not what I expected' described how those who had elected to study the discipline found a mis-match between expectations and realities; 'Psychology as 'a sort' of science' indicated that psychology was viewed as a second rate subject with a 'sort of' scientific basis, but not on a par with the 'hard' sciences; 'Representations of psychologists' seemed to be constrained by stereotypes around analysis, therapy and profiling and media figures, whilst 'Gendered accounts of discipline areas' saw participants largely defining the content of psychology as more appropriate for women.
The idea that psychology was not positioned as a serious academic discipline, the highly gendered nature of participants' conceptions of the content and the lack of clarity about the purpose of a psychology degree were all concerning findings. The ways in which psychology is represented by these males provided some insight into possible reasons why males may not be drawn to psychology. However, it also illustrates that a big challenge exists for those wishing to re-address the gender balance. If more males are to be attracted to psychology, it might be time for some radical changes. Suggestions for such changes have been discussed in the subsequent dissemination of this research.
Findings were presented at the inaugural conference of the Division for Academics, Researchers and Teachers in Psychology at the Annual BPS conference. A paper entitled 'Emotions or Science? Pre-tertiary males' accounts of psychology as a subject choice' is published in Psychology Teaching Review .

Repair help w/ a cordless trimmer
I have a cordless Craftsman hedge trimmer, # 240.74802 in which I can't get to charge. The unit is about 3.5 yrs old with limited use.
I plug the unit in to charge and as I have done numerous times and the red light on the charger comes on showing that it is charging. Numerous hrs later(1 plus days) it is still "charging." Never turns green on the charger or actually charges up. If I attempt to run the trimmer while still in the charger unit, the trimmer runs but if I take the trimmer out of the trimmer charger, it does nothing.
Any ideas what the problem could be? Is it possibly the trimmer, the charger, both?? I don't want to have to take it somewhere to look at it because they will probably charge me about as much to look at it as a new one may cost....I took it back to Sears and they were of no help. Any assistance would be appreciated.
By battery you mean that the entire charger/plug unit has to be replaced?
The Charger is for the battery in the hedge trimmer. The battery is kaput. Sears can sell you a new battery.
Kenny, Don't give up. There is a chance that the Battery in your Trimmer
can be rebuilt. The battery voltage is most likely between 14.4V & 24V
If #2 when the battery pack is not a sealed unit and where the pack can be opened without destroying the outer shell, then the pack can either be rebuilt locally (as in #1) or it can be mailed to a rebuilder. This also works with any cordless tool battery as long as the outer plastic shell is held together with screws so that it can be taken apart.
I have a local rebuilder (Culver City) that is part of a National franchise:
A number of other National and Local Rebuilders can be found with a Google search.
Rebuild your own battery pack. You can order batteries online with solder tabs already spot welded on them. It is not that hard. My guess that you have sub C batteries in it. How many volts is it? Ncad and Nmh are 1.2 volts per battery. Make sure you use the same chemistry that you already have in the trimmer. The charger is specific to the type of battery and are not interchangeable.
Once you crack open the case you will see how the batteries are put together. It is a good idea not to take them apart until you have the other pack soldered up.
I have rebuilt several battery packs with good success Give it a try, this is a DIY site after all. :yes:
edit: you can even rebuild a sealed battery, it just takes a little patience to crack open the case. You will usually see were the two pieces were glued together, just take a sharp knife and slowly keep going around the glue joint applying pressure. Do not rush this as you will crack the case. You may have to go around several times before you are able to get it open.
Good luck.
I have the same trimmer - it is the battery
I have the same trimmer. Even though you can find a 12V Power-Core battery by searching the web, the only place you'll find an exact match is at www.searspartdirect.com. Unfortunately, it is priced at $44.52 per battery. The unit has 2 (it is a 24 volt battery operated trimmer). The other ones I found were not the same part number (p/n 100575) nor were they the same amperage or size. As an example, search for "Power-Core Battery" and you'll find a site http://www.advantagehobby.com/produc...cat=528&page=1. The size and amps are close, but not exact (12V/1.2 AH vs 12V/1.3AH for the trimmer). It's only $14.99 but I have no idea if it will really fit or work (it would probably work electrically, but I'm not sure if it fit right physically). I dumped my trimmer and bought a new Black and Decker gas trimmer. I liked my battery operated one while it worked, but it seems a bit expensive to me to have to spend $85 every 2 or 3 years just to keep it charged...

What is blindingly obvious about the Diaspora High School proposal is that its plans for tackling gang culture are just what the education system needs in the area of south London it would serve.
Teachers Kay Johnston and Anne Broni have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to suggesting remedies to stop the knifings and murders.
In one sense, it is not rocket science to come up with the idea of giving every teenager work experience to avoid their going straight out on to the streets on leaving school.
I am not expert enough to decide whether Ms Johnston and Ms Broni are capable of delivering everything they promise.
The trouble is, I suspect, neither are the members of the free school group at the Department for Education who sat in judgement on them and decided they had less chance of success than another proposal that had failed to convince a single parent to put it down as their first-choice school. By contrast, the proposed Diaspora school was flooded with applications.
Surely, instead of just rejecting Diaspora, it was at least incumbent on the Government to see if it could offer any help in putting these ideas into practice.
It is not good enough simply to say no and leave the area with the status quo in terms of education provision – a status quo rejected by many parents who want to send their children to Diaspora High School.Reuse content

What the f*#^ are you talking about? Word games??? What exactly do you think I'm doing when I ask for specifics and you give me ambiguous stupidity? That is not a game, on my part. I don't know what you're trying to make it, but it's not intelligent communication on your part.
It is exceedingly irritating to have to request, over and over, such a simple thing. I even cited specifics of the sort of detailed answer that would clarify your position. The best that you can come up with is definitions that include the word "human" or telling me to look in a mirror.
So, if the look in a mirror test is really all there is to it, then there are thousands upon thousands born every year that fail and would be declared not human. A chimp would look more like any us, as a whole, than a fetus with many "survivable" birth defects would. I have a feeling this would not fly with you. SO... do better. Put some actual thought into it if you haven't bothered to do so.
And what is "living" for a "human"?

The Origin of the First Completely Independent, Stable, Self-Reproducing UnitThe First Living Cell
The simplest form of life known to science contains hundreds of different kinds of enzymes, thousands of different kinds of RNA and DNA molecules, and thousands of other kinds of complex molecules. As mentioned above, it is enclosed within a very complex membrane and contains a large number of structures many of which are enclosed within their own membrane. The thousands of chemical reactions which occur in this cell are strictly coordinated with one another in time and space in a harmonious system, all working together towards the self-maintenance and eventual reproduction of this living cell. Every detail of its structure and function reveals purposefulness; its incredible complexity and marvelous capabilities reveal a master plan.
It seems futile enough to attempt to imagine how this amazingly complex system could have come into existence in the first place in view of the vast amount of contradictory evidence. Its continued existence from the very start, however, would have required mechanisms especially designed for self-maintenance and self-reproduction. There are numerous injurious processes which would prove fatal for the cell if repair mechanisms did not exist. These injurious processes include dimerization of the thymine units in DNA, deamination of cytosine, adenine, and guanine in DNA and RNA, deamidation of glutamine and asparagine in proteins, and the production of toxic peroxides, just to cite a few. The cell is endowed with complex, defense mechanisms, in each case involving an enzyme or a series of enzymes. Since these defense mechanisms are absolutely necessary for the survival of the cell, they would have had to exist from the very beginning. Life could not have waited until such mechanisms evolved, for life would be impossible in their absence.
The ultimate fate of a cell or any living thing is death and destruction. No dynamically functioning unit therefore can survive as a species without self-reproduction. The ability to reproduce, however, would have had to exist from the very beginning in any system, no matter how simple or complex, that could have given rise eventually to a living thing. Yet the ability to reproduce requires such a complex mechanism that the machinery required for this process would have been the last thing that could possibly have evolved. This dilemma has no solution and thus poses the final insuperable barrier to the origin of life by a naturalistic process.
We conclude that a materialistic, mechanistic, evolutionary origin of life is directly contradicted by known natural laws and processes. The origin of life could only have occurred through the acts of an omniscient Creator independent of and external to the natural universe. "In the beginning God created" is still the most up-to-date statement we can make concerning the origin of life.

Net time you speak to the Doc ask him One Question.... Doc, What Specifically Defines Life?..
He would be able to win the Noble Prize if he can answer that question....
The Point being that Science has no idea what the Specific Definition of Life is... Is a Virus that can only replicate with the inclusion of a host DNA alive? Is the sub set of the simplest life form we know that cannot replicate without it's symbiotic components alive? Since you as a Human Being would die instantly if the 2 pounds of bugs in your body were eliminated, being that there are 10 bugs for each Human Cell in your body, Are You Alive or are you just a Vessel for the Bugs..... Is a Crystal that absorbs surrounding material and uses those compounds to grow and produce offspring Alive?.... Id the Life as we know it here on Earth the Only Possible form of life that could exist?

two basic "ingredients" in living systems are DNA (or an equivalent nucleic acid) and protein. DNA is the molecule of heredity, and proteins are the fundamental molecules of structure and function.
this and the post above pretty much defines life.

|Extensive information about large format offset in Eclipse Prague
|Monday, 23 February 2004 00:00
A Harris 77 large format offset printing machine has been installed In the Prague printing house of Eclipse. It is a modernised version of a machine made by an American manufacturer of the same name, working in a printing format of 2 x B0, or 137 x 197 cm to be precise.
The super-large offset machine is primarily designed to print billboards, citylight posters, furthermore, for the printing of large-format posters in general, and, last but not least, for POS products.
Following the installation, Eclipse now has at its disposal all three printing technologies used in large-format printing - offset, screen, and digital printing.
Since year 2002, Eclipse has been part of the holding company Impression, a pan-European network of large format printing houses specialised in advertising products. With more than one thousand employees and 150 million EUR of annual turnover, the group is without doubt the largest player on the ever more integrated European market. Apart from the Eclipse and Hecht brands, better known in our region, the Affiche Europeenne and Kingsway groups are parts of the holding as well.
Integration into the holding company brought some expected benefits to Eclipse: larger manufacturing capacity, exchange of technological know-how, a Europe-wide client base, financial background - all of this should impact positively on the quality of service provided to customers. Eclipse also gained access to the capacity of the offset printing house in Warsaw (Impression Poland), and in Cerknica, Slovenia (Hecht Slovenia). The Czech and Hungarian printing houses underwent an upgrade to offset technology as well. Offset represents a novel element in the manufacturing options available to Eclipse.
Together with screen and digital printing, offset rounds up the group of three key technologies used in large format printing (mainly for the purposes of the advertising industry). The competition among these technologies is often mentioned. Contrary to these views, experience in Eclipse shows that these technologies are complementary, they all have their specific features and all are suitable for a specific type of jobs. Only a small part of jobs can be printed equally well by two different technologies. The debate about the competition of technologies is often started by those printing houses or sales intermediaries, who do not have access to all technologies. Key criteria for choosing the right technology include print run, the substrate, the usable life required, the motif, the viewing distance, delivery time, available manufacturing capacity, price calculations, etc. The choice of technologies depends on many parameters, which must be optimised by the technology chosen.
Impression group now has six large format offset machines at its disposal in Central and Eastern Europe. Two in Warsaw, two in the Slovenian town of Cerknica, and one each in Prague and Edelény, Hungary (currently under installation, launch of production is planned for June). All the machines are identical, operating in 137x197 cm format, made by the American company Harris. They represent a modernised version of these machines, originally designated for the efficient printing of books. Having been replaced by printing from roll in this function, the machines found a new application in the field of printing large format posters and billboards. They differ from classical offset printing machines in all features related to the large printing format, such as preparation of large printing plates, or the passing of the paper through the machine. Remote control of the colour box, or alcohol-based dampening is an essential, and standard feature of these machines. The machine can reach a printing speed of 4000 sheets per hour. Apart from printing speed, the time needed to prepare the printing process on each machine is a key parameter, as in the case of smaller runs, this time is comparable to the time of printing. The quite similar Michle machines represent an alternative to the Harris printers, also used by Impression in other printing houses in Brussels, Paris and London. The uniqueness of large format offset printing is also proven by the fact that the six machines mentioned above are the only ones in the Central and Eastern Europe including Austria, which can print the very frequent 175x118,5 cm city-light format.
The offset machines of Eclipse are used mainly to print billboards (the 504x238 Euro-format made of six sheets), and city-lights. Further products include all kinds of large format posters, and prints to be pasted on corrugated pasteboard and carton, as part of POS production.
Direct projection cameras are used in Eclipse to expose offset plates. The direct projection principle links two technological steps - the so-called "giant magnification", and the exposure of the plates. In other words, a 5 m billboard requires films as small as 50 cm, which are used for magnification and exposition directly on the printing plates. A euro-format billboard consisting of six sheets requires the exposition of 24 plates. Prior to exposition, the plates are activated by heat, reducing exposition time and increasing productivity. During printing, special UV-resistant poster inks are applied, which are also highly mechanically durable, as required by the process of mounting.
Due to the internal preparation of films in Eclipse, modern colour management and calibration techniques become available. Correction curves for various types of output from the imagesetter and chemical and digital proof are a matter of course. To set the colour box of the printing machine, information is transferred from the graphical workstation right to the computer that controls the colour boxes via the CIP3 standard, with no need to use a classical scanner for printing plates. The entire pre-press process in Eclipse is ready for the next step of modernisation - the CtP system. This step, together with installing another printing machine, is in the investment planning phase of the Prague printing house of Eclipse.

Pandora: TruthMature
"Um, Well" I mumble. How do I start?
"I'll make some Hot Chocolate" Ayasha says.
"What's happening in here?" Dylan asks standing in Ayasha's bedroom doorway as she's about to go out.
"We're having a girlly chat. Now get lost" Symph says.
Ayasha closes the door. "Sorry no Hot Chocolate since I can't get past one big obsitical..." She turns to look at me sitting on the rocking chair knees pulled tightly to my chest.
"Well, I'll start from when I was with my family" I mutter.
"We were just heading past here to see the view when we slide down the bank. Our Jeep tumbled into the water..... I think I died"
"But how can you be dead when you're talking to us right now?" Symph asks.
I hold out my wrist.
"Try find a pulse then. They do for about five minutes looking at each other is shock and consently thinking my skins cold. I pull my wrist back.
"No heart beat" Ayasha whispers.
"Non, I don't know much more except my looks have changed drastically. I know my family's dead. That's why your Mum and Dad were out when we got back they heard about the news" I tell them directing the last part at Ayasha.
"My Parents are always getting themselves stuck into the comunity weather its good or bad" Ayasha says.
"How is this even possible?" Symph gasps.
"I don't know all I know is that my whole Family died and I lived even if its only half life...... Oh also I can hear your thoughts"
They both look embarassed at that moment.
"Its okay, everyone's gonna have different opinions" Then I remember my Dad use to say that. So I slowly begin to cry. "Why did they die?"

Lysacek unable to defend Olympic title
(Reuters) - Olympic men's champion Evan Lysacek has abandoned hopes of defending his title in February's Sochi Olympics after failing to recover from a hip injury.
The 28-year-old tore the labrum in his left hip in August and despite aggressive treatment and physical therapy, he has been unable to regain full fitness.
With his doctor warning that the American risks suffering permanent damage unless he stops skating, Lysacek has opted to stop training until he has healed completely.
"Words cannot describe how disappointed I am to not be able to compete in Sochi," Lysacek, who has not competed since his 2010 triumph in Vancouver, said in a statement released by U.S. Figure Skating.
"The proudest moments of my life have been representing the United States in the last two Winter Olympics.
"I have suffered numerous injuries over the course of my skating career and they are some of the hardest things an athlete has to overcome. While none of my past injuries have sidelined me quite like this one, I remain determined to regain my health and skate again."
Speaking to NBC's Today show, Lysacek added: "The last several weeks have been so painful for me that I don't want those to be my last moments on the ice after such a great career. I'm determined to ... skate again and really be the one that decides when it's over."
Lysacek became the first American man in 24 years to win the Olympic gold medal and he is also likely to go down as the last male to win the coveted title without performing a quadruple jump.
His decision to concentrate on graceful execution rather than attempting high-flying quadruple jumps was heavily criticized by rival and 2006 Turin Games gold medalist Yevgeny Plushenko. Continued...

Ice Cold Rejection
Must I prove myself to you?
Are you sure it is necessary?
Oh, well, forgive me, I am sorry.
For a moment I forgot it was the truth you wanted.
You left me unprotected,
Feeling unbearable pain and rejection.
Do me a favor, now close your eye's
And think back to when I was five.
Can you see my long blonde curls.
Tracing footsteps on a different world.
You shut your eye's and blocked your ears,
So you could pretend that you didn't hear.
I tried to explain to the person
I most trusted.
Now, I sit in a corner,
My heart black and rusted.
You really could have warned me.
Stopped all pain and hurt you caused me.
Because my soul it burns as dim as ice candles.
The impact I know I cannot handle.
So you may sit by the fire
And smile with glee.
But the warmth will never forgive
The ice cold rejection you handed me.

Poems of my story?
Okay, so its a few poems added together to make a story... so.
The tale of two kinds of love
Two kinds of love?
What are they?
Do they know?
Is it the ying and the yang?
To love and to hold?
I do not think so,
Is it to think and to do?
Is it to hate?
What ever it is tell me so!
It is like to children in the night,
Who gave there mother a fright,
Like the world in the sky,
Two friends laughing,
It is cry when a baby is born,
and to by happy when a person dies,
for they are with there father,
in heaven.
When the person is born you should cry,
The child's trouble has just begin,
the hurts and the pains.
Note: The last part about the (the child being born, and somebody dying) is and old Irish saying. I wanted to make the poem about God's love. I added the last part to help you understand. I'm Irish if you haven't thought about it yet, and my Papa told me the saying.

Washington, Mar 25 (ANI): A non-invasive brain scanning technique may trace a biomarker for Parkinson's disease that would let physicians screen for or track the progression of the neurodegenerative disorder, according to a University of Illinois at Chicago neuroscientist.
The tool may also help advance the development of new drugs or neuroprotective agents to treat or ward off Parkinson's.
David Vaillancourt, assistant professor of kinesiology at UIC, and colleagues from UIC and Rush University, used a type of MRI scan called diffusion tensor imaging on 28 subjects, half with early symptoms of Parkinson's and the other half without.
They scanned an area of the brain called the substantia nigra, a cluster of neurons that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Scientists have found about half the number of dopaminergic neurons in certain areas of the substantia nigra in Parkinson's patients as those without the disease.
Usually, finding out the loss of dopaminergic neurons using conventional methods such as metabolic PET scans is expensive, invasive, and requires injection of radioactive tracer chemicals.
But, the new method is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive, and does not use radioactive tracers.
"We're suggesting it's possible to eventually diagnose Parkinson's disease non-invasively and objectively by examining the part of the brain thought to underlie the causes of the disease," said Vaillancourt.
He also said that currently, no other tool is capable of doing the same.
The researchers said that the technique might also help develop neuroprotective agents to treat Parkinson's.
Vaillancourt said it's difficult to identify a neuroprotective agent using current measures because the results are skewed by any therapy used to treat symptoms.
"When you have a symptomatic effect of the neuroprotective agent, you need a lot of patients from multiple centers to determine if the neuroprotective agent works. But if you have a disease marker not affected by a dopaminergic therapy, then you would be able to test neuroprotective agents among smaller groups," he said.
In Vaillancourt's opinion, the new technique would enable faster development of drugs to treat Parkinson's.
The findings, now online, will appear in a forthcoming issue of Neurology. (ANI)

Pacific Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 20, 1997, Tokyo, Japanp PACIFIC STMSMSTRIPB TUESDAY.H^20,1997 2f The Associated Press CONCORD, N.C."— Jeff Gor- don's qualifying gamble paid off quite handsomely Saturday night Making up for an overly ag- gressive move that cost him in the time trials, Gordon charged through the field at Charlotte Motor Speedway and won: The Winston, the 13th annual alk star event for stock car racing's top series. "Everything just kind of went our way. Tonight could not have worked out any better," said Gordon, who won $207,500 from the $1.1 million purse, Gordon overshot his pit stall during jpriday night's time tri- als, relegating him to the 19th spot on the race's 20-caf start- ing grid. But he quickly worked his way into contention, took the lead nine laps frohvthe end of the 70-lap race and pulled NASOARYTheWimton away to his second victory in three years. "Our car was just awesome for me to get through traffic like I clid," said Gordon, who became just the third driver to win me event more than once. Dale Earnhardt won the race three times and the late Davey Allison* was a two-time winner. Bobby Labonte wound Up about 15 car-lengths back "in second and his older brother, 1996 Winston Cup champion /^Perry Labonte, was third. Earn-,/ hardt and Jimmy Spencer rounded out the top five. The event featured exactly what the fans have come to ex- pect when series sponsor R.J. Reynold&TOffers so much money for a race^that typically takes less than^O^iinutes.Taking chances becomes the nornv as do bumping, bangingand frequent three-wide racing, long regarded as a sure pre- scription for disaster tin. Char- lotte's 24-degree banking. A record crowd of about 140,000 stayed on their feet throughout the event, which is divided into sesgrnents of 30, '.3CP and 10 laps, with the field being inverted after the first leg. Gordon needed less thai} 20 laps to work his way into the top five, and he was third at the end of the first segment behind Dale Jarrett and Earnhardt. While Bobby Labonte domi- nated the second leg, Gordon stayed in contention and fin-ished fourth. «* The Labonte brothers battled each other early in the final leg, allowing Gordon to slip past both of them on lap 61 and pull away for the victory. Pole-sitter Bill Elliott faded over the second/half of the race and wound up 10th. Mark Martin, winner of the last two Winston Cup races, started eighth, never led and finished sixth. .«:"-; Martin caused the event's only caution when he bumped into the rear of 'Bobby La- bonte's Pqntiac entering the front stretch, sending Labonte into a long slide that ended with him sitting helpless m the mid- dle of the track at the start-fin- ish line.

He took most of the snaps in practice last jweek — and the Greyhawks played in the first half as if in need of practice, commiting five tiirnovers and leading just 6-0 at halftime.

Property lawyers in post-Budget frenzy
The tenth UK Budget delivered by Chancellor Gordon Brown on Wednesday 22 March gave in-house lawyers across numerous sectors plenty to think about, not least the typically small teams operating within the property sector.
Land Securities head of legal Clive Ashcroft and British Land company secretary Anthony Braine will be among those pouring over Brown's budget speech and anxiously awaiting the full detail of the legislation for the implementation of real estate investment trusts (Reits). Other companies, such as Hammerson, which do not have a dedicated in-house legal function, will be relying on their external advisers before making a decision on whether to switch to a Reit.
The tax-effective property trusts will come into effect from 1 January 2007; and following the jump in share prices (Land Securities shares shot up 12 per cent) conversions have an air of inevitability about them. The race is on for property companies and their lawyers to be the first.
The announcement of the green light for Reits has had private practice lawyers – from commercial and tax practices to commercial property lawyers – scrambling to get their bulletins and updates out to clients.
For residential property developers and home-building companies, the Chancellor's amendments to the planning gain supplement and stamp duty land tax have given in-house lawyers there plenty to think about.
Locog looks for in-house winner
THE LONDON Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog) is on the hunt for a new head of legal, offering one of the most high-profile in-house jobs going. In March, Locog commercial and legal director Charlie Wijeratna relinquished his legal role to focus on a new role as Locog's commercial director.
The move was part of a wider change to the management team during the final phase of the organisation's conversion from bid company to staging company.
Locog is on the hunt for a new legal director to lead its seven-lawyer team. Wijeratna will be involved in the commercial department, trying to raise £2bn in revenue through corporate sponsorship, tickets and local sponsorship.
FSA lures talent with legal training
has launched its first dedicated legal training programme in a bid to attract young lawyers who will remain at the regulator for the long term.
The first intake of trainees will be in September, with two training contracts on offer per year. The trainees will spend one year in the general counsel's division, six months in the enforcement division and the final six months seconded in private practice. The programme has attracted huge demand, with more than 200 applications received for the two positions.
Firms prepare to woo Tyco
Revelations in The Lawyer last week (27 March) that Tyco B> is to overhaul its legal department as the company splits will have caused shockwaves throughout the industry. Splitting a $40bn (£23.03bn) monster into three is never going to pass without a ripple.
Europe, Middle East and Africa (Emea) general counsel Trevor Faure plans to whittle down the 250-odd firms he uses and aims to kick off a major recruitment drive for the three new entities.
Tyco Emea currently has 53 lawyers in 35 countries looking after a business model with 66,000 employees across 900 legal entities. In perhaps the understatement of the year, Faure said: "Scale and complexity is an issue."
With the panel format yet to be determined, but following a commitment from Faure to reduce the seven-figure legal spend, law firms will be keen to butter up Faure and secure their places on the panel.
MoD rejection costs Simmons £15m
The full extent of Simmons & Simmons ' embarrassing exit from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) panel was revealed by the defence department's director of commercial law Robert Miller after a Freedom of Information Act request was lodged by The Lawyer (13 March).
The MoD had spent more than £73m on external lawyers between 1 May 2002 and 30 September 2005. Of that figure, Simmons had been the main beneficiary, collecting £15.5m (or 21 per cent of the total).
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer was the next biggest biller, having received £10.3m. But Simmons' panel departure will not reap the immediate big dividends the magic circle firm might have been hoping for: Simmons retains historic instructions on the MoD's three largest projects going forward.
Constellation finds European legal stars
US-based energy giant Constellation Energy signalled its long-term intentions in the European market by appointing its first in-house lawyers this month, with a very strong Enron flavour to the team.
Former Enron Europe general counsel Mark Evans brings his expertise in energy trading to Constellation subsidiary Constellation Energy Commodities Group (CCG). Evans joined from Hammonds, which he fled to as Enron collapsed late in 2001.
Joining Evans as a permanent employee from today (3 April) is Australian Barry Saraullo. Saraullo was formerly seconded to Enron Europe from the London office of Vinson & Elkins , which acted as Enron's worldwide chief corporate counsel.
Saraullo was technically CCG's first in-house lawyer, having been appointed on a temporary contract to help oversee the group's entry into the UK market.
Baltimore-based Const-ellation was recently part of a consortium that made an unsuccessful £2.2bn bid for Drax, Europe's largest coal-fired power station, although the UK in-house team had no involvement on that deal. Constellation's external firms include Allen & Overy, Freshfields, Hunton & Williams, Norton Rose and Vinson & Elkins.
And the surveys say…
A glut of surveys by recruitment agencies has been released in the past month.
Michael Page Legal's Trendwatch survey suggested in-house departments may struggle going forward, with increased competition for quality candidates keeping lawyers in private practice.
A separate survey of legal heads by Badenoch & Clark provided an interesting insight into the internal and external issues in-house lawyers have to deal with.
Visibility ("we are well outnumbered by accountants and the procurement department"), staff retention and "proving the value" of the legal department to the company were key internal issues highlighted.
Externally, the issues were a lot more clear-cut – managing cost was the main issue highlighted, while keeping pace with changing regulations and legislation was a close second.
In a third survey by recruiter BCL Legal of 130 companies in the North West, it found top in-house lawyers can now command salaries of up to £150,000 in the region. The average salary for senior counsels was £86,000 in 2005 – around £4,000 up on the previous year.

Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor told reporters today that his ultimate goal once he made it to the NFL was to buy his mother a house.
After getting a contract extension this past offseason, Chancellor was able to get his mother a new home.
"I told my mom that I was going to get her a house a long time ago," Chancellor said. "I told her I wanted to get her a house, the first thing I was going to do. Right after mini camp I went home and looked at like 20 houses in two days and there was just this one house that just stuck out and I knew that it was the one she wanted and everything she wanted. She also wanted a car, so the next time I went home I told her we're going to go get a car from this guy's house. We go drive to the neighborhood and she's like, 'Oh, these houses are nice' and I'm like 'Yeah, I know.' We get to the house and the car is in the driveway and it has a bow on it. It's a white Lexus and she pulled up to it. She loved it. She was smiling and happy and tried to open it but the door was locked. I said, 'You have to go in the house to get the keys from the guy,' so I'm knocking on the door and no one is answering. I have all my nephews, nieces, sisters, brothers and coaches all in the house just waiting for her and once she opened the door, everyone jumps out and says surprise. She was so happy and it just felt good. She deserves it."
Chancellor made it clear that things weren't easily while he was growing up in Norfolk, VA.
"My mom, she always had about two or three jobs all the time," Chancellor said. "I have five siblings and we all lived together. It was kind of rough for us, but we always stuck together. We always had each other. My older sister always looked out for the little brothers, for us, just making sure we had stuff to eat, that we were taken care of and helped with homework. It was pretty rough, but my mom and my siblings kept a good job of keeping us off the streets and just keeping us out of harm's way."

Author has written 5 stories for Chronicles of Narnia, Merlin, and Sherlock.
Hello everyone, and welcome to my profile. My new pen-name is pronounced LYEE-von, which is ancient Celtic for beauty of women.
I'm in high school and I love to write. My favourite books are the Lord of the Rings, the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the Hobbit, the Narnia books, Wicked, The Hunger Games, Watership Down, Acheron, Game of Thrones, the Inheritance Cycle, A Great and Terrible Beauty and loads of others that I can't seem to remember at the moment :) My favourite bands are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Death Cab for Cutie, Loreena McKennitt, Mumford and Sons, The Trews, Marianas Trench, Muse, U2 and Green Day. My favourite shows are the Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, Merlin, the Vampire Diaries, and Sherlock. I have absolutely no use for fake people, insecure people, or people that need to put others down in order for them to feel good about themselves. I also extremely detest today's pop music; I think it's distasteful, disrespectful to women, and just all around sad. That is why I surround myself with music that actually means something relevant and not about the common garbage. Have a nice day :) Just remember... you don't need a licence to drive a sandwich.
