Sheridan, P. (2008) Seasonal foods, gonadal maturation, and length-weight relationships for nine fishes commonly captured by shrimp trawl on the Northwest Gulf of Mexico Continental Shelf.

Recent emphasis on ecosystem approaches to fisheries management renews interest in, and the need for, trophic information about fish communities. A program was started in 1980 at the National Marine Fisheries Service Galveston Laboratory to develop a trophic database for continental shelf fishes. Collections were made during 1982-1983 that were processed but never published, yet the data remain valid today for historical purposes and for delimiting food web components within ecosystem assessments. I examined spring, summer, and fall foods in offshore populations of nine common species of trawl-susceptible fishes, with particular reference to predation on commercial penaeid shrimps (Farfantepenaeus and Litopenaeus). Diets were evaluated with the Index of Relative Importance (IRI) which combines the occurrence, number, and weight of each food item. Bank sea bass (Centropristis ocyurus) and bighead searobin (Prionotus tribulus) primarily consumed crabs, more so by larger than smaller fish. Inshore lizardfish (Synodus foetens) was almost entirely piscivorous. Ocellated flounder (Ancylopsetta ommata) consumed fishes, crabs, and stomatopods. Dwarf sand perch (Diplectrum bivittatum), blackwing searobin (Prionotus rubio), rock sea bass (Centropristis philadelphica), southern kingfish (Menticirrhus americanus), and red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) fed mainly on shrimps. Most fish diets varied with respect to size (age), time of day, area sampled, depth, or season. Rimapenaeus and Sicyonia were the most frequently identified shrimp genera - only five Farfantepenaeus and no Litopenaeus were identified in almost 4,300 fish stomachs. I also examined gonadal development and documented fish length-weight relationships. Ripe gonads were most frequently found during summer in dwarf sand perch, during fall in ocellated flounder and bighead searobin, and during spring for other species, except no ripe red snapper or bank sea bass were collected. Rock sea bass was found to be a protogynous hermaphrodite, while dwarf sand perch is a synchronous hermaphrodite. Only ocellated flounder and southern kingfish exhibited sex-related differences in length-weight relationships. (PDF contains 40 pages.)

when you say "refeed" what exactly do you mean? Just carb intake of 20g? 50? 100? I'm a little new to a "refeed" requirement and would like to understand it.
No announcement yet.
Study: Low-carb diet linked to increased cortisol & inflammation

Nearly every diabetic seems to think it does Hmm
It's not :
increased substrate => increased gluconeogenesis => increased glucose
What is actually happening is:
increased substrate => increased gluconeogenesis => increased glycogenesis
Whether or not your increased gluconeogenesis manifests as circulating glucose depends on hormonal signalling with respect to glycogenolysis ( i.e. whatever our old friend glucagon gets up to )

Interested in Intermittent Fasting? This might help: part 1, part 2, part 3.
I've largely given up even having a stance on this, but for the record my blood sugar has been checked three times and is always 69. Fasted or non-fasted, and once about four hours after I ate as much meat as I could. So it's anecdotal and avoids all the bad science you all sling, but excess protein doesn't seem to elevate MY blood sugar, anyway.Crohn's, doing SCD
Originally posted by Cryptocode View PostA BIG positive outcome of the study was that calories in = calories out is wrong.
Sometimes it scares me how smart I am. The first time I ever heard of "CICO" I just intuitively I knew it was the stuff dumb people say. Hehehe.
The basics are demonstrated once again:
* HDL goes up
* TRI goes way down
* Metabolic rate goes up
Translated: you get thin and don't have a heart attack. Why? Evolution.
It varies by person so please nobody say something stupid like "well not for everyone". We already know that.
Originally posted by Cryptocode View PostA BIG positive outcome of the study was that calories in = calories out is wrong. Low carb has a definate metabolic advantage.
On a scale of 1-10 for what people think of beauty, red flowers came out as a 3 [but because you didn't ask enough people, if you did a bigger group the number may be 2 - 5].
Yellow flowers came out as a 4 [but it could be between 3 - 6].
You cannot say from this that people think yellow flowers are more beautiful than red flowers. It could be that if you did the study again, red would be a 5 and yellow would be a 3.
By the way, even when confidence intervals don't cross, the standard expectation that you will get at least a 95% confidence interval means that there is a 1 in 20 chance that if you do the study again you will get a different answer (that is what the author would be claiming anyway, in reality in medical studies it never works out to be that highly likely).�In God we trust; all others must bring data.� W. Edwards Deming
Blogging at http://loafingcactus.com
This whole gluconeogenesis thing....
Ok, my understanding of it at this point from my readings is.... Yes it is substrate dependent, but only to a point. The key term in that blog post is "excess" protein. You don't get a perpetual increase in gluconeogensis with every gram of protein that you eat over a certain threshold. What is excess? I don't know, but I'm sure if you dug in you could find a point at which increasing protein no longer increased gluconeogenesis. I believe that to be the point of the blog post. So some questions to be asked might be how much do you have to limit substrate bellow that particular cutoff point to get the effect you are looking for.... or if you don't eat the protein how low can you go before the body starts to find it endogenously? Surely the answers are lifestyle and health history dependent. I definitely don't have any population data or trials on my hard drive that gives any definitive answers but, those are questions I'd be asking if I were doing my own diabetic N=1.
there is also the mTor activation. Avoiding this is the reason Rosedale suggests moderating protein. And protein does induce an insulin response in addition to glucagon. I've been doing low protein and it has been the most successful low carb dieting I've ever done. I think the flaw with most people who do moderate or low carb is excess protein intake and it ruins the effects and causes them to feel cravings.

Genealogy Questions? Ask a Genealogist for Answers ASAP
Hello, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there are very few genealogies done which contain citations for all of their sources of information. I have a copy of a book of my families genealogy but it contains no source citations. In the genealogy profession if you cannot prove it; provide the sources for your information so that any other person doing the same research could not only find the same information at the same place you did, but come to the same conclussions you did.
then you basically have a bunch of leads. Most of the "Family Trees" posted on Ancestry, and many other sites are worthless. Just because so-and-so says that this person is this persons mom, does not make it true. You are already ahead of everyone else in that, you recognize this. There are three ways to obtain a legitimate family genealogy; find a published one that contains source citations (and then verify all of it), hire a professional genealogist (which can get expensive), or do it yourself (with a little help every now and then). However you decide to do it, I wish you the best. Thank you, Shirley
Basically you answered my question with my question.
Where would I find a published one,(with or without citations?) AndIdont trust professionals because I was ripped off by one.
I KNOW the LDS Church has its "official version," and since they are so big on genealgy that they own practically all the sites, which dish up all the same crap that everyone has contributed all their wishful thinking where everyone is descended from all of every countries royalties and nobalities, and non existent charachters, mythical beings, gods, etc.
I want to find a REAL verified version. I don't see how the church can sponsor wikepedia versons of peoples genealogies and charge for that, and then charge $38 for an unsatisfactory answer to my questions.
Unless you, (or someone else,) can give me a valid viable answer, I want my offered refund.
After seeing the rating you gave me and reading your reply, I re-read your original correspondence.
I am terribly sorry for the miscommunication. You are correct. I did not answer your question.
The LDS Church does have a "ginormous" amount of genealogy data and compiled genealogies that are not online. In order to access all of their records you will have to either go to their huge library in Salt Lake City, Utah or visit one of their satellite research centers. To find the closest research center to you, go to this web site and put in your city, state, postal code, and country. https://familysearch.org/locations
If I have answered your question satisfactorily, I would ask that you reconsider the rating you gave me. Just Answer takes negative ratings very seriously and I could actually lose my job. If I have not answered your question to your satisfaction, please contact me directly.
Thank you,

Mikan Gym

ナツカンジム Natsukan Gym
|Mikan Island
|Gym Leader
|Coral-Eye Badge
|Accuracy test, Surfing race
|Orange Archipelago
The Mikan Gym (Japanese: ナツカンジム Natsukan Gym) is the official Gym of Mikan Island. The Gym Leader is Cissy. Trainers who defeat her receive the Coral-Eye Badge.
The Mikan Gym made its only anime appearance in Fit to be Tide.
The Mikan Gym is a barn that has been converted into a beach house. It is shaped like an orange soda can on its side. Inside is a pool that converts to a standard battlefield and back. The beach near the Gym is also buoyed off for Pokémon Surfing races.
While the interior of the Gym is built for a Pokémon battle in the water much like the ones in Cerulean City, Sootopolis City, and Pastoria City, it's actually used so that all Water Pokémon have an equal standing while they compete in the accuracy challenge. This was revealed through a section in the wall by the pool where numerous targets had been placed, with the winning Pokémon being decided by who shot the most targets with their attacks.
The Mikan Gym's final challenge takes place outside with a surf race. The race involves both Trainers to surf on top of a Pokémon out into the ocean where they must go around a designated buoy and come back. A natural hazard shown in the anime is the potential for both the Pokémon and their rider to be knocked around by the waves, although a skilled surfer may be able to use the waves to their advantage.
Pokémon used in Gym
| Cissy used Seadra against Ash's Squirtle for the Water Gun skeet portion of their Gym battle. It seems to be sensitive, as it fired a Water Gun at Ash after he called it ugly. It tied with Squirtle in the amount of targets it hit, resulting in Cissy deciding to settle the match with Wave Ride.
It reappeared in a flashback in A Way Off Day Off.
Seadra's only known move is Water Gun.

| Cissy chose Blastoise to use in the Pokémon Wave Ride portion of Ash's Gym match with her. It was temporarily captured by Team Rocket but it escaped from them easily by using its overwhelming strength, and sent the trio blasting off with its powerful Hydro Pump. Blastoise was set against Ash's Lapras for the Wave Ride. What Lapras had over it in speed, Blastoise matched with strength. Cissy's strategy was to have Blastoise ram Lapras from the side in order to knock Ash off and give her a clear lead. As Cissy and Blastoise were nearing the finish line, a tidal wave came upon them. While Ash was saved by Lapras's Ice Beam, Cissy was knocked off Blastoise when the wave hit. Blastoise moved quickly and saved Cissy from falling in the water. Even though they caught up with Ash and Lapras, Ash still managed to cross the finish line first by having Lapras use Ice Beam and riding on the ice.
It reappeared in flashbacks in A Way Off Day Off, Hello, Pummelo!, and Viva Las Lapras.
Blastoise's only known move is Hydro Pump.

How To Dress A Pear Shaped Body
September 9th, 2010
Pear Characteristics
A defined waist
Larger hips and thighs
Narrower shoulders than hips
Wear larger size on bottom than top
How To Create Visual Balance
~ You need to balance your top half with your lower half by wearing clothes that make your shoulders look broader
~ Your jackets and tops need to finish either above or below the widest point of your hips and bottom
~ Layering on your top half creates visual interest and draws the eye upwards
~ Wear volume, clutter, pattern, colour on your top half, so hips and thighs will seem narrower
~ Wear fitted styles around your waist and always accentuate your waistline e.g. empire line, wraps, fitted lines
~ Make your shoulders look broader with e.g. shoulder pads, puffed sleeves, cap sleeve t-shirts, boleros
~ Narrowing leg, pleats or creases in your leg line, pinstripe suits, turn-ups in your trousers, wide or flared leg lines. Also avoid combat or cropped trousers or culottes
~ Details, patterns, pockets on your thigh and hip area and belts on your hips
~ Flared or ruffled sleeve lines, straight skirts or pencil skirts
~ Bags that sit on your hips
~ Ankle straps, kitten heels, delicate footwear, round toe shoes, ankle boots with straps around your calf area, Uggs
~ Mini skirts or any other hemline (including single or double vents in jackets) that finishes on your hips, thighs or any other full point of your leg
~ Dropped waistlines or dropped panels
~ Sloping or narrow shoulder lines
Ideas For Pear Shapes- Work, Dressy And Casual
Dresses And Skirts
Boat neck and big sleeves balance narrow shoulders and small bust.
Full skirt balances hips and wide collar opens neck, making it appear broader.
Straight, tailored skirts pull in and balance hips.
Tops For Pear Shapes
Big sleeves draw the focus to upper body, away from larger areas.
Wide neck and draping balances broader hips
Long tunic styles conceal hips and wide straps broaden shoulders.
~ Trousers & Jeans ~
Boot cuts, fitted at hips and bottom, are the most flattering trouser shapes for pear shape bodies.
Jackets For Pear Shapes
Puff sleeve shoulder detail, fitted waist and open collar all create shape and focus away from hips and thighs.
Boxy, structured shoulders and gently, fitted tailoring, flatter pear shapes.
Back to how to dress the different body shapes.
And lest we forget- please follow us, however you choose to!

When the Pittsburgh Steelers visit the White House next week, they'll do it without one of the men primarily responsible for their sixth Super Bowl title: Linebacker James Harrison.
"This is how I feel — if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl," Harrison said. "As far as I'm concerned, [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won."
James, are you OK? Have you suffered any recent blunt trauma to the brain box?
It's a ritual in this country that the major-league teams winning championships are invited to the White House for a visit.
So, yeah, the invitation applies only to the Super Bowl champs. It's one of the things that make the accomplishment special.
And, no, the President doesn't have the time or the desire to invite the 31 teams that didn't win the Super Bowl to conduct seven-on-sevens in the Rose Garden. (After all, that might cut into the time he has allotted to work on his NCAA brackets.)
But, hey, at least we now have a better understanding of how the Steelers got Harrison to sign a long-term deal worth only $51 million.
James Harrison Won't Go To The White House

Wtf is wrong with this guy? This is the President of the United States offering him an opportunity he may never get again.
brianforster says: May 16, 2009 2:09 PM
I think he is just saying that he doesn't consider it an honor or even care because its such a routine thing for the winners of the big game to visit the white house.
Shags says: May 16, 2009 2:11 PM
What a dope… can I go in his place???
Ralph GreNader says: May 16, 2009 2:12 PM
Actually…It kind of makes sense. It is kind of an overblown stupid tradition. A tradition that needs to stop. Hes right in the sense that if Obama actually wanted to meet the Steelers then he could make it happen.
Put simply. Who gives a damn? Nobody. That includes the presidents both past and present. Obama isnt going to feel insulted, snubbed or lose sleep over it. He cares about this crap as much as the rest of us.
As for that smart ass comment about inviting the other 31 teams….Grow up thats not what he was saying. He just doesnt give a crap about wasting his vacation time. I hate the Steelers and I still understood exactly what he was saying.
Johnny Boy says: May 16, 2009 2:12 PM
What a dunce this Harrison guy is. Obama was supporting the Steelers during the SB week, it's not like he switched sides.

saints51 says: May 16, 2009 2:14 PM
hey, atleast he had the balls to stand up for what he believes…even if it is crazy

WOW! I think the league may have to suspend this guy. Just because a guy this stupid is going to do something worthy of suspension sooner than later. So maybe the league should make a preemptive strike simply on the basis of stupidity.

Seeing as the Bidwells probably supported the hometown candidate – McCain – during the election, the Cardinals might have been the first Super Bowl Champion to be snubbed from the White House.
Also, Arizona Ice Tea is great and Obama has banned all tea-bagging at the White House.

DavidInTexas says: May 16, 2009 2:39 PM
Now, Harrison sounds more like one of his fans!
Obama won't have to worry as much about getting cheap-shotted by some thug in black and yella.
Or will he…?

Wow. James Harrison shuns Obama.
Meanwhile, LT showed respect to the first black president by attending his inauguration.
SaintsBucsPanthersSUKK says: May 16, 2009 2:41 PM
There's nothing wrong with James Harrison's point of view. It shows he has humility. If you couple that with a strong work ethic, you have a man who over the years developed into a great player as an undrafted free agent many years ago, one who had to scratch & claw his way into a profession that chews up and spits out even the most highly regarded collegians. Give the guy some credit, slappy.

I agree with him. Who cares about a photo op? Going to the White House is one of the most overrated experiences ever. It's just a building full of douchebags.
And since he signed a reasonable contract, maybe he won't get cut in two years. It's not like NFL contracts mean anything. Look at Shaun Alexander.
Jmoney7 says: May 16, 2009 3:09 PM
I can see James Harrison has graduated from the steeler linebacking course "how to act like an idiot 101" and is well on his way to becoming the next Joey Porter.. You would never see a New England LB act this stupid, Jerod Mayo wouldn't be saying this and he's a rookie.. It is just so pathetic how the steelers are not taught to act a certain way and are allowed to say whatever they want, regardless of how stupid it sounds.. MEMO to James Harrison: Enjoy your ride on top, because the Patriots are going to knock you off your mountain this year! your team stinks and barely beat a team NE blew out.. have fun… and if not for a KR fumble in our game NE would have beat you also..

This may be the most refreshing point of view from a professional athlete that I have ever heard. Harrison is the first black public figure outside of the political arena that I know of not falling all over himself for our president. He's correct about the invitation and he's keeping it real.
blitzburgh1 says: May 16, 2009 3:36 PM
What lamebrain failed to post was the fact that James Harrison turned down the invitation after Superbowl XL by George Bush, also, and no big stink was made about it then.
Maybe James just feels that lying, scumbag politicians of any party aren't worth his time.

"And, no, the President doesn't have the time or the desire to invite the 31 teams that didn't win the Super Bowl to conduct seven-on-sevens in the Rose Garden."
But he does have time to invite the Bulls & White Sox, even though they havent won anything, so the Bears might not be too far behind. Im sure when the Hawks win the Stanley Cup it will make an appearance as well. Go Chicago, all hail President Swerkski!!!
tonyinmd says: May 16, 2009 4:03 PM
"This is how I feel — if you want to award me with the Defensive Player of the year award, give it to me when I was teaching knuckleheads in school and getting cut from NFL teams every other year," Harrison said. "As far as I'm concerned, The NFL would have given the award to Ed Reed or Demarcus Ware if I was still a Gym Teacher last year."
-James Harrison

mwooley2323 says: May 16, 2009 4:24 PM
I'm a Steeler fan I I don't get this. It's a tradition. All champions get invited to the WH to honor their accomplishment. He's not inviting them over to get to know them better. No non-champion team has ever been invited to the WH b/c the President doesn't have time to invite everyone over.
Did James go last time despite Bush only inviting the Steelers b/c they won SB XL???
I guess Harrison is only football smart.
Matt Hoover says: May 16, 2009 4:26 PM
Probably just hates Obama. Where can I order my James Harrison jersey?
mitchrapp says: May 16, 2009 4:34 PM
So he doesn't want to spend time with a liberal President. Who gives a damn ..
If anyone has pay'd attention Obama doesn't just stick with the "Title teams". He invited the Chicago Bulls and what did the Bulls win? Nada. So Obama is already wasting my money. Good for you Harrison.
JoeSixPack says: May 16, 2009 4:37 PM
Hey Harrison – don't feel bad. My local Pop Warner team was snubbed by Obama too. Couldn't even spare 5 minutes to meet with the Class DD 4th place pee wee team. And he calls himself a leader.
Matt Hoover says: May 16, 2009 4:39 PM
I love how all of you Obama ass kissers have nothing to say but, "moron", "d-bag", and whatever other character assassination stuff you can come up with.
Nevermind the fact that Harrison worked hard to get to where he's at. Nevermind the fact that Obama rewards people who don't work and penalizes people, like Harrison, who have worked for their wealth only to have half of it taken by the government. Nevermind the fact that Obama should be spending his time fixing society's problems, not taking photos with athletes, who are nothing more than that: athletes.
We hold these people up to be gods when they're nothing more than human beings. I think this is a credit to Harrison's humility. All of you other dummies might as well go back to making out with your Obama campaign stickers now – James Harrison will probably be in the gym or on the track.
And no, I live in Pittsburgh, but I'm a Chiefs fan. No Steeler is my boy, but I respect James Harrison today for having the proper perspective on life.
blitzburgh1 says: May 16, 2009 4:47 PM
mwooley2323 says:

every president has done this…it's a tradition…just cuz you dont like obama doesnt mean that this is your opportunity to bring it up in some backwards way…harrison could've just said i dont like obama, i dont want to go, and left it at that…mark chmura didnt like bill clinton, said he didnt like clinton, and didnt go either…harrison's explanation makes no sense and is just dumb…that's why he is being called a dou*chebag…this was just your opportunity to make a political rant for no reason…good job, smart guy…
EskinSux says: May 16, 2009 4:54 PM
@Hoover….What Obama ass kissers?…Did he just start this?…Hell, this is just a harmless tradition that has been going on for decades, it probably lasts a half hour, and is just a photo op for all parties involved. This isn't anything about humility, or anyones work ethic…..I didn't think i would read a statement as stupid as Harrison's until i read yours…..And do you actually think James Harrison gives a rats ass about your perspective on life?………And No i didn't vote for him…..What an ass…..
ROMO4PRES says: May 16, 2009 5:01 PM

Hey Douchebag, the excitement isn't that the president gets to meet the Pittsburgh Steelers, it is that the Steelers get to meet the President and get an inside look at the White House. Oh my god can this guy more like a 15 yr old.
Vox Veritas says: May 16, 2009 5:21 PM
"Nevermind the fact that Obama should be spending his time fixing society's problems, not taking photos with athletes"
If it's all the same to you, I'd rather he meet with more athletes than try to "fix" anything else.
mwooley2323 says: May 16, 2009 5:28 PM
Blitzburgh1: He didn't go last time? How do you know?
As for Hoover and mitchrapp: Please spare us your Obama hatred. You sould like sore losers. Harrison DID NOT say he didn't want to meet with Obama. He said he didn't want to go just b/c they won the SB. He's fine with it if he gets invited over any other time. That's what makes no sense. Obama's wasting your money? Bush more than doubled the national debt from $5T to $11T in 8 years (that's a record). And just so you know, Obama's income tax rates are well below Reagans. Clinton and and Obama feel the top earners should pay 40% in taxes. Reagan charged the top earners 50%. Talk about redistribution of wealth…..
Please go back to making fun of Obama's hamburger indgredients, your party is irrevelant.

Just James being James.
Memo to idiots: James doesn't really care much about all the hoopla that surrounds his job. He seems to care mostly about beating the living crap out of our opponents every chance he gets, especially QBs. That's why I love him. That's why most of you jokers would love him too if he played for your sorry team. But he won't. He's a Steeler for for life as he should be. You can't stop James. You can only hope your QB doesn't come up lame after encountering him.
And to the brain-dead patsies fan (a few pages back here) who didn't quite remember the beating we put on you girls this year, the final score was Steelers 33, Patsies 10. In your house. Not sure how you think that game would have been different if not for a KR TD of whatever the heck you were selling.

If any of you idiots were a high profile athlete with the media constantly asking you questions and you answering them, they can take that and construe it into whatever they think the mass morons will believe. So he doesn't want to go to the White House, who cares? This guy was busting his ass 2 days after winning the Super Bowl getting ready to try to do it again.
Also, the Steelers must pay off the refs, give me a break, I love this crap it's unbelievably sad that people actually think this even though the Steelers have gotten calls on them or interceptions taken from them because the refs don't know the rules. Only problem is the Steelers have overcome those calls to win the game because that is what GREAT teams do. Go Steelers, win a 7th one.

I'd love to be neutral…but it's impossible. I am blown away at what an epic moron he is!

I wonder if he turned down the Super Bowl winners game check bonus because Arizona would've gotten those as well.

The main problem is that the Stealers pay the referees. This has been fairly blatant for about 5 years. Santonio Holmes was given credit for a TD on the 3 yrd line for God's sake.
Bitterness. A ride to Pittsburgh will show you something you can't find in Philly. Six somethings.

Ted Baxter, Michael Scott, James Harrison.
"As far as I'm concerned, [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won."… This is Yogi Berra worthy. One of the greatest straight lines in sports history. And given this nugget, think of all the stuff we don't get to hear. God I can't wait to hear him defend this statement.

That is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. We could very well be listening to the stupidest person on the face of the earth! Wow! I mean, just wow!
frox says: May 16, 2009 10:07 PM
I love the retards trying to defend this ridiculous statement. Uh, he can do whatever he wants. Uh, he is right. It's not a big deal to go to the White House so why go. You can love the guy on the field and admit he is an idiot off the field. Don't try and defend such a ridiculous position.

The people who sincerely believe that James Harrison has an actual political agenda and isn't just extremely uneducated and steroid riddled are dumber than he is. My absolute favorite are the "I just became a James Harrison fan" posts like his wife beating and drug use should just be overlooked.
SteelerLuv says: May 17, 2009 12:13 AM
I'm not sure I completely understand James' sentiment. Perhaps, he feels that President Obama is a politician and is therefore insincere in his praise and support of the Steelers? Not a true fan as such. Well the guy is from Chicago.
Obama has to be a Bears fan. So the President will have divided loyalties when the Steelers and Bears get together this year? I don't think so. Mr. Harrison should give the President the benefit of the doubt and at least shake his hand.
Now if this ceremony was with the previous President, I would understand completely. I wouldn't want to be in the same state as George Bush let alone the same room.
I wonder if the pay offs to the officials will be part of the new CBA?

And if the Steelers didnt win the Super Bowl, why would the President be interested in meeting the team? He isnt a fan. Its a tradition that the winning team gets to visit the White House. I normally like Harrison but his logic on this is pretty ridiculous
screamingidiot says: May 17, 2009 2:48 AM
I think its pretty clear that what James Harrison is saying is that he won't be a shiny toy for any president to hold up and say "see I love the Pitt everyone vote for me who lives there".
This isn't a repub/demo thing, its a he doesn't feel the need to be a show piece thing. I actually think that is kinda cool. Maybe he would rather chill with the fam or relax that day.
Anyone who would just auto call him an idiot is a think small sort of person…Also I have a feeling the same people who would get angry at him not seeing Obam would think he was a hero for not seeing G.W.
Don't be a right or left, just be you.
screamingidiot says: May 17, 2009 2:54 AM
Also are we really giving a 5 rate on people who just respond saying "wow" to stories. Is that what we have become as a profootballtalk people. Debate, information, serious thought. Lets not dumb this down folks.
I mean come on…wow.
Bmore Styles says: May 17, 2009 3:43 AM
now i see why Pittsburgh fans can relate to him so well.
Scientific says: May 17, 2009 7:56 AM
This may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard an athlete say. He sounds like Yogi Berra with a chip on his shoulder.
3efin says: May 17, 2009 8:17 AM
It seems to me that Harrison thinks that it's more of an honor for the president to meet the Steelers, than it is for the Steelers to meet the president.
While I'm not really an Obama supporter, he still holds the most powerful position in the world. You really need to get over yourself James. Obama is giving you an opportunity, not the other way around.
Mediziner says: May 17, 2009 8:57 AM
I may be repeating what is already said on here, but 7 pages comments is a lot to read. He is not being racist or has (to my knowledge) anything against Obama. He did the same thing to Bush the last time they won the Super Bowl (which Florio conviently left out).
mrmagoo says: May 17, 2009 9:15 AM
Screw quantum mechanics, who killed Kennedy, and where we go when we die. The real mystery in life is why one comment gets posted on PFT and another gets moderated.
blitzburgh1 says: May 17, 2009 9:33 AM
Why is everyone making a big deal over the fact that he's not going to go see Obama?
He didn't go to the White House in '05 to meet Bush……and he's staying consistent in his stance about going this year. It wasn't a story before, but that was only George Bush. Now, he's turning down the chance to meet the great and all powerful Barack Obama. I guess Rose Garden photo ops are not exactly his style. It's a non issue and a contrived story by the media in an off season where the reigning Super bowl champs are not exactly known for off season drama.
Maybe he'll change his mind when the Steelers get their invitation next year. 🙂
ncoolong says: May 17, 2009 10:22 AM
I don't see what's not to understand here. He doesn't want to go visit the president because, to him, it's not genuine.
Let's keep in mind, this was the same guy who was pissed at the other members of his team because he was the only guy in the weight room the day after the Super Bowl. He's single-minded and as intense as it comes.
He didn't visit Bush after SBXL either. He's just not into that stuff. You're making the situation out to be more than it is; he's kind of anti-social. He didn't get to where he is now by doing things that he feels are a waste of his time.
bishop23 says: May 17, 2009 10:45 AM
what a complete moron…obama was a supporter of the steelers..james harrison is an idiot
Pea Tear Griffin says: May 17, 2009 12:55 PM
Non-issue. He didn't go after Super Bowl XL either.
It's not like you get to have a one-on-one with the President. 53 guys will be there. Shake hands. Maybe small talk. He's probably just enjoying his time off.
Although, if I were in his place I would definitely go.

Orenthal James says: May 17, 2009 2:57 PM
I reckon he's afraid of being offered a position on the president's cabinet… new contract, lots of taxes to pay… hmmm
gtskyrider says: May 17, 2009 3:02 PM
That was stupid…. opportunity of a life time to be with your team meeting the president of the united states. I think it's an honor and no it's not overblown…when you think about it…you're playing a freak'in childs game…and you're lucky WE the people fans love the game or you wouldn't have a freak'in job. I'm in the military and I put my life on the line everyday for this country and I can't even meet the president who's my boss/Commander-in-Chief!
Harrison can go fly a freak'in Kite for all I care…
SteelerLuv says: May 17, 2009 3:15 PM
I just realized that this could be purely political. Is James Harrison a Republican mole? The Rooneys were big supporters of President Obama. And now one of them (Dan?) is the U.S. ambassador to Ireland.
Is this a political slap in the face?! I hope Rush Limbaugh doesn't find out about it.
mlewis1 says: May 17, 2009 6:43 PM
Love him as a player, but he's obviously not very bright. If he doesn't want to go that's fine, I wouldn't have went when Bush was in office, but my reasons would have been a little more intelligent.
Majik Man says: May 17, 2009 10:40 PM
So did he not accept his Super Bowl ring either, seeing as how the NFL wouldn't have just given him one if Pitt didn't win the Super Bowl?
"The NFL should just want to give the Steelers Super Bowl rings, not just because we won the Super Bowl, but because they just want to give them to us."
BlitzDorsey says: May 18, 2009 12:02 AM
Wow all those 'roids are really affecting Harrison's brain.
Chicagobears69 says: May 18, 2009 1:57 AM
I think James Harrison hates black people……oh wait…
Alabama leprechaun says: May 18, 2009 7:35 AM
"Did you know that the all of the top ten states in college graduates went for Obama and all of the top ten states in adult illiteracy voted for McCain. This is a FACT. Opinions? "
So did every state that is against Jessica's law which does mandatory sentences for child rapists.
Hell I voted for this guy and already have buyers remorse.

Brown, McClellan bail out UT
Updated 12:29 am, Thursday, March 1, 2012
AUSTIN — Rightly or wrongly, J'Covan Brown had put it all on himself. Every time this season's Texas Longhorns lost a game they could have won — and this happened often — Brown's eyes would fall as he recounted his personal failures, and the details of how he'd let his team down.
But as he stood clutching the ball on the baseline of the Erwin Center floor Wednesday night, his eyes still gazed upward. He saw the rim, and an Oklahoma defender primed for a juke, and a chance to change everything.
"I just knew I had to come through," Brown said.
In the closing minutes of UT's season-saving 72-64 victory over OU, Brown came through over and over again. Beginning with his step-back, ankle-buckling 3-pointer, he scored 12 of his 22 points in the final seven minutes, enabling the Longhorns to remain in the hunt for an NCAA tournament bid.
By beating OU (14-15, 4-13 Big 12), UT clinched a .500 conference record before Saturday's regular-season finale at Kansas.
Sports Channel
After downplaying the pressure of playing on "the bubble" for weeks, the Longhorns (19-11, 9-8) couldn't deny the urgency they felt after falling behind by 12 points early and trailing by eight in the second half.
"We said, 'This might define your whole year, right now,'" UT coach Rick Barnes said.
It certainly changed the definition for a night, at least. Eight times this season, the Longhorns lost a game by six points or less, and a lack of late-game focus and execution was a big reason. But against the Sooners, UT dominated the most important moments.
And just as it was never entirely Brown's fault when the Longhorns lost, he had plenty of help in Wednesday's victory. Sheldon McClellan, who scored a career-high 24 points starting in place of injured guard Julien Lewis, swished a 3-pointer from the corner to pull UT within 55-53 and set the stage for the big finish.
With 6:16 left, McClellan hit another corner 3-pointer — one of four from him and Brown combined in a three-minute stretch — to give the Longhorns their first lead.
"Coach just told me to keep shooting," said McClellan, who overcame a shaky start in which he missed several jumpers and committed three turnovers. "The momentum kind of changed."
Of course, it did the same for the Sooners. Romero Osby began the game by making all five shots he took in the first 8:06. The rest of the way, he went 0 for 7 from the field to finish with a team-high 14 points.
During UT's dizzying 8-0 run that sealed the outcome, Osby missed a pair of layups, and teammate Sam Grooms gave the ball away twice on steals by Myck Kabongo and Jonathan Holmes.
Holmes' put-back with 3:17 left gave UT the lead for good, and Brown closed it out with two nifty driving baskets, an assist to McClellan, and a pair of free throws.
"Sometimes you can't script it," Barnes said. "Our guys found a way to finish it."

Strategies of Merges and Acquisitions on the Telecommunications Market
The acquisitions are generally associated to merges. In reality, the two operations are distinct from an economic point of view. When Vodafone adventured for the first time overseas, its expansion methods were the acquisitions. Through these, Vodafone was a minority investor, the rest being divided between the other companies such as: the financial investors or other telecommunications companies. Such approach towards the international expansion was dominated by a desire to minimize the risk, investing in many countries. Throughout its fusion with AirTouch, Vodafone extended in new countries (not only the USA, because AirTouch owned several subsidiary companies abroad) and consolidated its position as shareholder in some international acquisitions.
