To celebrate the Dec. 2 opening, Hialeah, Fla.-based Sedano's is offering shoppers such exclusive special offers as 10 plantains for 99 cents and BOGO deals on everyday items, including a gallon of milk.
After a blessing by a priest, Sedano's execs took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the 40,000-square-foot store. Additionally, local radio stations WQBA, WACC and WSUA transmitted live from the location; free pizza was distributed for the first three hours of the opening; Presidente (beer) girls handed out premiums to customers thoughout the store; Budweiser held a two-hour promotion outside, giving out Sedano's Bud branded items; and there was an A&W Float giveaway.
Among the store events scheduled on Dec. 6 and Dec. 13 marking the location's debut are a 32-person domino tournament sponsored by Budweiser (along with a traditional Hispanic roasted pig for 300 people), in-store cooking demonstrations by IMUSA, a Miami Heat Xtreme team appearance, live music entertainment and in-store samplings.
Customers also have the opportunity to win such items as Sedano's gift cards, a signed guitar by Mexican pop star and composer Marco Antonio Solis, tickets to an entire suite for a Miami Heat game, domino tables and an outdoor fire pit.
Unique to the new location is a brand-new fresh-made pizza area in the cafeteria, where a pizza maker will always be on staff preparing made-to-order pies in a decorative pizza oven, a Sedano's spokeswoman told Progressive Grocer.

Marcus Trescothick has broken his left thumb and will miss England's first Test against India at Lord's next week.
The Somerset left-hander is to have an operation later today to 'pin' the injury and is certain to be unavailable to the England selectors, due to name their squad tomorrow.
He suffered the injury fielding a fierce cover drive from Graeme Hick in Somerset's Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy quarter-final against Worcestershire at Taunton today.
Early indications were that Trescothick, who immediately left the field, was primarily concerned with a cut rather than a break.
But Somerset chief executive Peter Anderson later confirmed: "Marcus has cracked his left thumb and will have an operation to pin it as soon as possible.
"(England coach) Duncan Fletcher has been informed."
Trescothick's injury represents another complication for England on a day which had already begun badly for them when negative news filtered through from Somerset about Andrew Caddick's recovery from his rib problem.
The pace bowler will almost certainly not be fit for the first Test, with Somerset coach Kevin Shine effectively ruling him out until the second half of the four-Test series.
Caddick injured is ribs during the third Test victory over Sri Lanka at Old Trafford last month and had been hoping for a return to action this week.
But he failed a fitness test and now faces another few weeks on the sidelines.
"He had a bowl on Sunday, and it looks like the reaction took place on Sunday night," said Shine.
"By Monday it was not right. He has not set himself back but he will have rehab to do. We hope it will take a couple of weeks.
"I would be amazed if he was fit for the first Test and I have spoken to Duncan Fletcher and told him the situation.
"The thing with Caddy is that he is a quick healer. He is desperate to get back and play and he was desperately disappointed when this happened.
"Rib injuries are always a dodgy area, and until you play your first game you are not going to know if it is right.
"You cannot afford to come back too early from a rib injury - if you do then you could be in real trouble."

Flooring Installation, Sales, and Service
The Flooring Pro Guys
It can be quite grueling finding reliable flooring contractors in St. Clair Shores, MI, but it certainly does not need to be. We've already sorted out the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, so you don't have to. The Flooring Pro Guys are really the top rated and most trusted flooring company in St. Clair Shores. The following passage offers up some suggestions to anyone beginning their search for someone to do their flooring project.
Hundreds of options and samples to choose from!
Value Vs. Price for a Floor Installation
When you're hiring a flooring contractor, it's a difficult thing to find the perfect balance between pricing and value. Quite often, choosing the cheapest option now will cost you more later when you have to replace poor quality materials or pay to have shoddy work redone. Deciding on the cheap when picking who to hire for a project can make the difference in having to hire for the job once and having to hire for the same job twice. Make sure that you're taking the time to go to the web and research the quality of flooring types prior to committing to a particular one.
A flooring contractor who quotes you a price substantially lower than the competition might not be the most qualified person for the job. You really won't like your local contractor to go out of business if you care about your warranty. When dealing with a flooring contractor, ensure he doesn't have any plans of leaving the field, as many of them go out of business pretty often. No matter which contractor you choose, make sure to get a written warranty.
Local References
It can only help you to ask for a couple of references from former customers of your service provider. Something your flooring contractor needs to possess is outstanding references to contact. We'll give you names and contact information for some of the many customers who are happy to tell others about the work we did for them. The Flooring Pro Guys are ready to present you with a lot of delighted customers who are willing to talk with you on the quality of our completed jobs.
Make sure that you contact the references that the flooring contractor gives and ask how the crew treated their gear. Be sure to ask whether the workers cleaned up the mess at the end of each and every work day. Also ask if their home was returned to its original condition when the job was completed. You never need to work with anyone that is not going to take care of your furniture and property.
A Professional Flooring Contractor
Ensure you go through their liability insurance policy before sticking with a licensed contractor. You will understand that a licensed insurance company sees them as an acceptable risk if they have a significant insurance policy for flooring. Working with an uninsured contractor might be dire. You need to ask yourself what other deficiencies a failure to carry liability insurance suggests about the contractor.
Professional signage on a the vehicle driven by a contractor is a good sign the contractor is reliable. Bear in mind that anyone can borrow/rent a pickup from a rental place. Make sure that if they do have a sign, the phone number is a local one. Take a moment to call the number listed on their sign to find out if it's answered as a flooring company by someone who sounds professional.
A Quality Flooring Installation
When living or working on a property during a contracting job, a reliable professional will make sure to give a detailed plan on mess control measures. Whether or not you remain in your home, your service provider should put together a pre-project plan containing information needed by homeowners. You'd need to see every one of the particulars, timetables, and projections for fruition. The Flooring Pro Guys can help you understand the process and what adjustments it may require to your daily routine for the duration of your flooring project.
When thinking about hiring a flooring contractor, you need to understand all that is involved in your project, beginning to end. A number of local contractors like to complete one room at a time, but others prefer to complete the entire house in a single shot. All jobs that require replacing flooring can create a mess, therefore the crew on the job should remove the trash generated. Be sure that you find out the type of procedure that is involved in the process of cleanup after the job has been completed.
It's A Messy Job!
Make sure to find out how your flooring contractor plans to prevent a major mess during the project. Contractors who are the most professional will drape the room in heavy plastic. Strategies might be used by contractors to ensure perfect barriers against dust and debris. Just like in a horror movie, a room might be wrapped in red tape to caution those from entering.
Finding out if the cost of plastic drapes are covered in the quoted price is a smart idea, especially when you have children that could be entering the unfinished flooring area. You don't want any of your kids to be injured by stepping on a nail. A professional contractor will have measures in place that can avoid potential injuries. After all, you don't want a contractor that's going to create an unsafe environment for your children.
A Professional Flooring Installation From A Trusted Flooring Contractor
Experienced flooring contractors know their product lines by heart. He should present a professional presentation of the merchandise lines that are available upon request. They can explain about the features and relative merits of their products and quote prices, entirely from memory. If he keeps checking up details of his product lines and quotes, steer clear.
It's foolish to sign any contract unless you've reviewed it carefully to make sure it includes all of your specifications for the job. You can save yourself a lot of grief by taking the time to make sure that in drawing up the contract the local contractor hasn't misstated or forgotten anything you've already agreed upon. You should never sign anything until all of your questions and concerns have been addressed by the local contractor about the project. Prior to signing any documents presented by your contractor, ensure you involve your lawyer to assist you understand some legal terms used in the contracts offered.
Sometimes, regardless of how much you love the color and texture of the stain you picked out for your hardwood floor, it just doesn't look right after the first coat has been applied. Ignore any additional charges accumulated because of lost materials and time if it means utilizing durable products over low caliber ones. You should never accept less than the absolute best flooring work from your contractors. The Flooring Pro Guys want you to become one of their most satisfied customers.

That one is using a 1st order crossover so maybe that's the trick?
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong" H. L. Mencken
Follow Ups:
Between the filters and trying to pad it down it just got too veiled sounding. It was a beasty to tame. In the end those drivers are best left wide open with maybe a first order cap on top and a super tweeter and subwoofer.
It would need to be measured for its bass roll-off due to the baffle and the bass driver would need a Low-pass to blend. 1st or 3rd order
The ribbon should be rolled in to match the WR driver's own roll-off.
And the WR driver needn't be filtered at all.
Level matching would be necessary, too. But that's not real hard if you choose drivers to be in the ball park. Matching dispersions, so they don't jar in the pass-bands is a biggie too.
IME the 126en sounds best if left alone, except for some parallel RC to flatten the inductance rise it just will have. IF you are going to filter any WR cone-only driver, L-rise eq is vital IME&O.
I've yet to hear a whizzered WR driver I could stay in the room with.

After all was said and done with that driver, long story short, I just did not care for the sound of it even wide open.
But don't get me wrong about single drivers. I used some of Fostex's 8" drivers for a few years. And yes the whizzer cones are a tad irksome
very important, and - IIRC - easy to calculate from the TS parameters.
I am using the original FE103 in Fostex's rec'd Rb boxes with dual-layer walls and BAF, as front spkrs for the FR/Kitchen's HT system. With parallel R&C of course. There's also a 10 inch / 100 w powered sub, fed from a Sherwood HT 5.1 rcvr!
Have 5 more left over, one will go in a Rb centre speaker, and two pairs as distributed OOPhase L&R rears mounted in the rear walls, behind curtains & using Fostex's own grilles.
ALL of them will have R&C across them.
Use MF plastic caps.

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a variety of optional equipment built into each Jeep, and understand that only the best repair CJ5 parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Jeep vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. Make no mistake, you bought your CJ5 because you wanted to buy youthfulness and great value both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. When your Jeep CJ5 left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants versatility in their automobile.
Reducing harmful hydrocarbons and noxious gases that come from your car or truck depends on the quality and performance of the parts you use. The engine in your Jeep CJ5 gives up some efficiency and emissions, and it uses a PCV valve to control its positive crankcase ventilation. Usually located on your valve cover or cylinder head, your Jeep CJ5 PCV valve captures and re-routes exhaust blow-by from the combustion process and sends it back through the intake. Before the positive crankcase ventilation valve, all blow-by was simply vented through a small filter element in the valve cover. This is a much cleaner method.
When your Jeep needs a new replacement PCV Valve, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Bring your CJ5 back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. All the Jeep CJ5 PCV Valve parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964.

The trip down Memery Land, oviously started at his birth. Kirby Lover7485 gets something on that and the five see how he was born. And that there was a Gengar there that made him very scared. Kirby Lover7485 didn't recall a Gengar scaring him than. Just than, Dr. Mario arrives to him, but he kicks Kirby Lover7485 leg. Kirby Lover7485 wonder how he got his random name and Dr. Mario said that was the best name he had for him. Dr. Mario leaves after that. And than, Mew arrives to show him the time that he and Kirby first met. He was 2 years old when he stumbled upon a pink marshmellow. And that's when he met Kirby, by sitting on him! The Pikachu-o-meter goes up a bit.
Kirby Lover7485's Foe, Nazo than shows up. Kirby Lover7485 remembers the time that they started to hate each other and their first battle against each other. Kirby Lover7485 was 3 to 5 at that time.

He even brought them some sand that fell on them.Back at the castle, Kirby Lover7485 just vacumes up all the sand from Ciland and himself. Kirby than reminds him abut his first invention, Meloetta?! True, I know. He explains his creation on Meloetta in a Science Fair when he was 8. She was made by spare parts from anouther robot from anouther story. Long story short, she was one of his best inventions. She arrives on the show just than. Oshawott comes out of Ash's Pokeball. He missed her so much. But than, Meloetta exploed which made Oshawott cry. Kirby explain to Ash's Oshawott that wasn't the real Meloetta. And that the real Meloetta left three weeks ago, which made Ash's Oshawott continue crying. And that made the Pikachu-o-meter go up very high.
Then, (after Ash's Oshawott finished weeping (what a baby, lol)) Kirby Lover7485 told him about the time when his food was taken away by King Dedede and his army at his 11th birthday party. Kirby arrives to stop Dedede and Kirby Lover7485 helped. That was the day that Kirby Lover7485 learned Homing Attack. And it also the day that he got his first Pokemon, Darkrai! True, I know.

He grabs him with a metal claw upon his latest creation, the Flash Back Machine.

Kirby than explain that after that, Kirby Lover7485 attended the Kanto Public High School. Leading up to one of his best falls ever. Kirby Lover7485 said that didn't make sence.

And with his lack of friends in Kanto, he still manage to date one of it's region's gym leaders, Misty. It all started when he was 17 and he meets her. She was only wearing a swimsuit.

Kirby than cotinues by saying "It was at that point you realized that the only business for you was..." Then Kirby Lover7485 answered him with Rare Candies at a Rummage Sale. As Kirby was thinking about a super fast Pokemon catching hero hedgehog trainer. But before that, Kirby Lover7485 had a Rummage Sale in Grade 12 with Rare Candies. Which the Squirtle Squad makes fun at him. The Pikachu-o-meter rises up from 74/100 to 3/4 to the top. Kirby Lover7485 thought it was more painful atn the time. Which might take forever to get Pikachu back up to the top. Kirby than reminds him about his other Pokemon Trainer girls May and Dawn. Kirby Lover7485 shows them his relationship with them.
Than, Iris was called up to be a guess on the show. She gave Kirby Lover7485 his missing Chaos Emerald. Kirby Lover7485 than explain his backfired invensions from Kanto to Unova. As the clips were playing, Cilan uses the celing fan to get himself out of the metal claw. Kirby soons explains that only one painfilled memery will send Pikachu over the top. But the rest of Kirby Lover7485's memeries are not painful enough to do so. But than, Cilan attacks Kirby Lover7485. Kirby Lover7485 thanks him for attacking him for the fact that he was given the last painful memery to get the Pikachu over the top. The little Pikachu fell off the chart and lands on Waddle Dee's foot.
As that happened, Kirby Lover7485 pulls the lever on the Flash Back Machine to make himself more powerful. Cilan looked at this and was ashamed of himself for helping him. Kirby Lover7485 transformed into a powerful being and grabs Cilan, ready to finish him once and for all. But than, Cilan pulls out his photos from their great adventures and good times. Which makes him remember the good times they had together over and over again. Kirby Lover7485 soon becomes less powerful as he returned into his normal self. After the game show, Ash, Iris and Cilan left the Dream Land castle with Kirby Lover7485's throne room a mess. Kirby Lover7485 tell to Kirby to start cleaning up, because of painful memeries all over the place.

text:
He was a piano prodigy who flourished despite the extreme pressure doled out by his ambitious father, but today Lang Lang warns pushy parents to back off if they want to nurture their offspring's talent.
His rebuke will come as a salutary lesson in childcare for hundreds of parents tempted to step up the hot housing after watching 100 budding musicians – aged as young as six – take the main stage with the superstar maestro at London's Southbank Centre this afternoon.
Lang, a global sensation at 28 years old, learnt the hard way about the perils of parental coercion: aged just nine, he was urged to kill himself by his tyrannical father for missing two hours of practice. Yesterday he told The Independent on Sunday that parents needed to strike a careful "balance between being strict and loosening up".
He added: "I want to tell parents who put their kids under a lot of pressure, 'This is not the way to do it'. I want people to learn this is not the way to be successful. To give your whole passion – yes; to give up a life – no. There's a balance."
Although Lang, who travels the world giving 125 concerts a year, finds it painful to relive "the most horrifying experience" of his life, he said he had chosen to speak out "to make sure that [something similar] never happens again in any country". He would certainly raise any eventual children of his own somewhat differently. "For sure," he laughed nervously: "I'd be very different from my father. I'd let the kids decide what they wanted to do."
The youngsters making up Lang's 51-strong Piano Orchestra today include six-year-old Alastair Howell, from West Norwood, who will get a solo moment playing the Rondo from Mozart's Divertimento in D. Howell is one of 12 hand-picked by the Chinese star out of more than 500 hopefuls who applied to be part of the ensemble. Lang said he hoped to be able to mentor the most promising pianists – either with a repeat collaboration next year or something more permanent.
He added that the enthusiasm – and talent – of those wanting to take part in today's concert suggested the so-called "Lang Lang effect", which has inspired 40 million young Chinese children to learn the piano, also existed in the West. Something pretty massive, clearly, has captured the imagination of those involved in the pianist's week-long residency at the Southbank Centre. Not least the French camera crew who filmed Lang Lang giving me this interview.
Then there are the 50-odd Brazilians who make up the Youth Orchestra of Bahia, which played with Lang last night. Plucked off the street in one of the poorest parts of Brazil, these impressive teenagers have only been playing their instruments for the past three or so years. I catch them practising in St John's Church, Waterloo, on Friday afternoon, where, like last night, they are conducted by the 17-year-old Venezuelan Ilyich Rivas. It's only a rehearsal but the atmosphere is electric as they zip through the Chopin and Gershwin concertos they play with the virtuoso.
From my second-floor vantage point, I watch closely for the histrionics for which Lang is famous. But the showiest thing about the spiky-haired musician is the piped white lining on his smartly cut black jacket. Later, when we chat back at the Southbank Centre, I am on equally high alert for the self-regard that even his most ardent fans feel can taint the young star. Once again, I am disappointed: the Lang I meet is more self-effacing than self-obsessed.
Even my attempt to get a rise out of him by asking how he takes the sort of criticism that has in the past seen some nickname him "Bang Bang" falls flat: "I'm still 28. To get some criticism is totally fine. Of course, I'm not perfect. I'm still learning; there's big room to improve." He does, at least, defend his famous flamboyance. "My style of playing is not going to change. I look at videos from when I was six and I play like this. You never lose your signature."
This, though, is hardly what I had expected from a man whose performance at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was watched by a global television audience of 4.5 billion, and who has trademarked his own name and turned himself into a brand in the vein of David Beckham or Paris Hilton.
As well as a Lang Lang range of Steinway & Sons pianos, there are branded Montblanc watches and a Lang Lang line of black-and-gold Adidas trainers. And that's not forgetting his Lang Lang International Music Foundation, which he set up to cultivate "tomorrow's top pianists".
Lang, who, to get to where he is today, endured years living apart from his mother in a Beijing slum, regards himself as something of a missionary when it comes to inspiring others, regardless of their nationality. "Music is for the world," he tells me earnestly, in his heavily accented English. "As musicians, we are citizens of the world and we need to really share our love and passion with everyone."
While he is keen to stress that success must not come at too heavy a price, he does admit that there are no shortcuts to reaching the top. "Everybody can achieve their dream in different ways, but unfortunately in the music world there is one way to be successful, which is to never stop practising. This is something you can't avoid, no matter how talented you are. I made my career today through really hard practice."
In case anyone takes too dim a view of the father who told the vulnerable nine-year-old first to overdose and then to throw himself off their 11th-floor balcony, Lang emphasises just how desperate he was to be a great pianist.
"When I was five, I was playing a recital and I just felt this was for me. I felt it was the coolest thing and the coolest profession."
Tens of millions of young wannabe Langs around the world clearly agree; all the man himself would add is there is a limit to how far they need to be pushed to make it.

I have 2 LDAP queries in which I need to combine into one. It's driving me nuts.
Here's the problem. We have a group in our Global Address List, that need to be cleaned up. The new group (list) should display the users of the physicalOfficeName=Miss* and the department=Auto*. I also need to displayed the distribution group mailNickname=*Automation. But no matter what I try (& and/or |) , I either get the users, or the group - never both...
Here are the basic queries. Is there anyway to combine them both so I get the users, AND the group that these queries grab?
The obvious solution to this is to run 2 separate queries for the same list in the GAL, but I think the GAL only supports one query per list...
Thanks in advance.

Last Saturday, we had egg tart making session in church. While we were all moulding that flour in the egg tart holder, B said his eff tart mould was uneven, after all the finger pressing of flour onto the mould.
I said, that's the essence of hand made. Imperfection, unevenness show the trade mark of hand made. We are not machine. so every egg tart can't be the same. Just like hand made cookies, all uneven shape, yet everyone buys them.
After my conversation with him, my words echoed in my head these few days.
We are all human, errors and flaw are allowed, although we should strive to avoide those that is avoidable. The important reminder here is how all of us react to others' imperfection and our own. Do we shout on top of our voice, blaming others' for their flaw, as if we are perfet ourselves? It's just so obvious to do the obvious, to see the obvious flaw in others and be quick to point at it !
Let us always bear the word of God in bible.

text: Washington (ANI): Tina Fey has revealed that she hopes Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be out of her life very soon. Fey has received much attention for her impression of the Alaska governor on Saturday Night Live. But now, the 30 Rock star wants to be done portraying the vice presidential hopeful. I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5, so if anyone could help me be done playing her on Nov. 5, that would be good for me, FoxNews quoted Fey, as saying. Fey added that she was totally resistant in acknowledging her uncanny physical resemblance to Palin until her young daughter turned on the TV and teased thats mummy.

Some big fat cans are showing up at beer stores and bars in Ohio. Mission Brewery of San Diego has released its 32-ounce cannons — yes, that's what it calls them — in the state following their popularity in California.
"We're the little brewery with the huge package," Martin Saylor, Mission's national sales director, said in a prepared statement. "The idea of our luscious beers in a gigantic quart can cracked us up, and no microbrewery has ever done them before."
Shipwrecked Double IPA and El Conquistador Extra Pale Ale are available in the big cans.
"The cans also make 32-ounce curls possible, sound extra loud when tied to newlywed bumpers, and you can water the lawn with the empties," brewery spokesman Marty Jones said in an email. "Jokes aside, they also allow us to ship about 50 percent more beer/case, at less weight, than a case of 22-ounce bombers. These cans have been a big hit in our home state, we think folks in Ohio will also dig them."

The Arctic is a treasure of life and beauty, home to millions of people and amazing wildlife.
Approximately 30 different peoples with unique cultures and traditions call the Arctic and subarctic regions "home". The Indigenous Peoples in the Arctic, many of them Inuit, inhabit the most northern regions of North America, Eurasia and Greenland. Modern times have brought great change to life in the Arctic, but many people still live in very close connection with the land and depend on their natural environment and the Arctic wildlife.
Walruses, narwhals, Arctic foxes, beluga whales and polar bears are among the most iconic animals to be found in the Arctic, and they provide examples of the beauty, uniqueness and diversity of Arctic wildlife. Life in the Arctic forms a complex and delicate ecosystem.
Canada's Arctic sector covers 1,425,000 square kilometers and is home to many Inuit, First Nations, Dene, Métis and non-Indigenous communities. After Greenland, the Canadian Arctic Archipelago is the world's largest high-Arctic land area.
What happens in the Arctic also affects the lives of people far away. Arctic ice and snow help regulate our climate by reflecting incoming sunlight back into space, acting like a refrigerator for the planet. Arctic permafrost stores massive amounts of carbon, and as it thaws this carbon gets released and threatens to push global warming completely out of control. Melting Arctic ice on land raises global sea levels and could drown coastal communities and small island nations. The Arctic also influences weather patterns for the northern hemisphere.
Rising temperatures caused by climate change are rapidly altering the face of the Arctic, bringing new risks and big challenges for the environment and wildlife, as well as for people in the Arctic and all around the world.
Greenpeace has mobilized over seven million people to take a stand and help ensure the protection desperately needed at the top of the world. To add your voice sign the petition at SavetheArctic.org

1. Introduction
to make recommendations to the governments of the
member States when it
considers such action advisable, for the adoption of progressive
measures in
favor of human rights within the framework of their domestic law
constitutional provisions as well as appropriate measures to
further the
observance of those rights.
a. De facto irregularities
b. Internal remedies
3.a. Admissibility
3.b. Alleged Incompetence of the Commission
The Commission is competent to consider individual
petitions concerning
human rights of immediate enforceability which the States are
obligated to observe
..., but it is not competent to consider petitions concerning
collective rights that the
State is obligated to develop progressively for its inhabitants.
The need for honest
elections imposes upon the State an obligation to act: to
progressively develop, in
accordance with circumstances and conditions in each country, the
guarantee that
voters may freely express their will.
... Any conclusion issued by the Commission on the
"legitimacy" of an electoral
process would be an attempted threat against the personality of
the officials elected
in that process and would constitute an act of intervention,
according to the definition
set forth in Article 18 of the Charter, by which the Organization
of American States,
of which the Commission is an organ, is forbidden to carry out by
the second
paragraph of Article I of its Charter.
4.a. Admissibility
4.b. The political rights in the American Convention
1. All citizens must enjoy the rights and opportunities
listed below:
a. To participate in public affairs, directly or
through freely elected
b. To vote and be elected in authentic periodic
elections, carried out
through universal and equal suffrage and by a secret vote that
guarantees the
free expression of the will of the electorate, and
c. To have access, in general conditions of equality,
to the public
functions of their country.
2. The law can regulate the exercise of rights and
opportunities referred to in the
aforementioned article, based solely on age, nationality,
residency, language,
education, civil or mental capacity, or sentence, by a competent
judge, in a criminal
4.c. Authenticity of the elections
i. General conditions of the electoral process
... The Commission has been able to verify that during
the current electoral
process the Sandinista National Liberation Front has profusely
used all of the
resources which the power of the State, which it holds, puts at
its disposal, placing
it in an advantageous position over other contenders. In this
matter, the denounced
harassment of political and labor leaders constitutes an
unacceptable method. In this
sense, the IACHR thinks that it would be very positive if the
Government of
Nicaragua were to use all its available resources to achieve, in
the next elections, the
participation of all of those who represent different political
options, with absolute
equality (page 119).
The Commission is not in a position to refer to the
specific irregularities in the
plebiscite that were reported. However, that does not preclude
it from forming a
judgment on the circumstances prior to it, and considering that
the lack of electoral
rolls, the existence of the state of emergency, the inactivity of
political parties, the
practical disadvantages of opposition sectors in access to the
information media, and
the absence of viable options to the rejection of the proposal of
the Government, are
all elements that seriously affect the credibility of that
procedure. (page 272).
... restrictions arising from the existence of states
of constitutional emergency,
which have had a negative impact on the exercise of other human
rights associated
with the exercise of political rights such as the right to
freedom of expression and
opinion, the right of association, the right of assembly, and the
right to personal
freedom. The Commission has also been able to observe that, when
those polls were
held, political parties were proscribed or dissolved and that a
significant group of
Chileans was impeded from returning to the country. The
Commission has also been
able to observe that when those polls were held, the Government
used all the resources
at its disposal and put the opposition in a clearly
disadvantageous position. In the
opinion of the Commission, these serious restrictions violate the
principle of pluralism,
which is characteristic of a regime of representative democracy;
they also affect the
freedom and the authenticity that are fundamental characteristics
of any poll in which
the right to vote is exercised. All these elements cast
well-founded doubts on the
credibility of the two procedures (pages 282-283).
Also in light of previous experiences and in accordance
with human rights
norms, the Commission must point out that the exercise of the
right to vote must be
included in a context favoring the authenticity of elections in
which the free
expression of the will of the voters is ensured, as Article 23 of
the American
Convention on Human Rights states.
The Commission therefore hopes that this important
period that is beginning
will help to establish an atmosphere that will encourage citizens
to make these
important decisions. In this regard, it would be very useful for
those taking part in the
political process to avoid at all costs the use of violence and
proscription, such as has
been repeatedly requested by important sectors of Chilean
society. In the
Commission's view, it is essential to break the vicious circle
generated by the
proscription and violence that threatens to distort the Chilean
political scene.
In the Commission's view also, it is of basic
importance that in the period
before the scheduled election, the various political groups be
given every guarantee
and means to have their views expressed and accurately
transmitted to the voters.
Accordingly, the Commission regards as positive the steps taken
by the Government
to allow important opposition leaders to take part again in the
country's political life
after their long exile (p. 220).
It must also be remembered that elections have been
held under the current
state of siege, which is lifted for 24 hours only, on the day of
the elections. The many
restrictions on the action of political opponents resulting from
this situation have also
been adduced to justify abstention from voting. Such
restrictions include the arrest
and harassment of political opponents and the ban on public
meetings and party
meetings, which are prohibited during the state of siege. Those
provisions have not
been applied, however, in the case of acts of the official party.
In addition to those restrictions, mass communications
media are controlled
directly or indirectly by party members or persons close to the
President of the
Republic, as discussed in Chapter V of this report. Even simple
political information
about the activities of opposition parties sufficed for numerous
repressive measures
to be taken against the ABC Color newspaper and Radio
The presentation makes it possible to draw the
conclusion that access to
communications media, during the period covered by the present
Annual Report and
with reference to the plebiscite's campaign, has been
characterized by a disproportionate presence of the government,
which has used all the resources at its disposal
to promote messages and images that favor its position in the
next plebiscite. To that,
numerous restrictions, legal and the facto, must be added,
those affecting independent
organs of expression and journalists and political leaders.
Also, it must be pointed out
that the authorization to broadcast political programs
constitutes progress that,
nevertheless, does not compensate the unequal access to
communications media
derived from the aforementioned circumstances (pages 307-308).
The general conditions in which the process was taking
place ... were slanted
in favor of the ruling party coalition and against the opposition
because of the lack of
freedom of expression, the serious restrictions on the
opposition's right to personal
liberty, the grave violations of the right of assembly and the
intimidation of members
of the opposition and pressures exerted against voters to support
the ruling party
candidates, both by high-ranking government officials and by
officers of the Defense
Forces. (Page 52)
ii. Organization of the voting process
There is a generalized skepticism on the part of
citizens with regard to the
right to vote and participation in government. In particular,
opposition political
parties go as far as doubting the possibility of having pure and
free elections, not only
in the light of experiences during recent elections, but also
with respect to the
structure of the electoral system and the obstacles which parties
face to organize in
the interior of the country. Because of all this, the Commission
is of the opinion that
electoral rights are not effective in the present circumstances.
The system instituted through the Electoral Statute...
seriously demeans the
electoral process because it gives a party not only the absolute
majority of the
legislative bodies, but also of the bodies entrusted with
organizing the electoral
process. This system lacks, therefore, the necessary
institutional controls which
guarantee the purity of elections (page 106).
4.d. The Competence of the Commission
Article 1(1) is essential in determining whether a
violation of the human rights
recognized by the Convention can be imputed to a State Party. In
effect, that article
charges the States Parties with the fundamental duty to respect
and guarantee the
rights recognized in the Convention. Any impairment of those
rights which can be
attributed under the rules of international law to the action or
omission of any public
authority constitutes an act imputable to the State, which
assumes responsibility in the
terms provided by the Convention.
All States shall respect the right of self-determination and
independence of peoples
and nations, to be freely exercised without any foreign pressure
and with absolute
respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
Each State has the right to develop its cultural, political,
and economic life freely and
naturally. In this free development, the State shall respect the
rights of individuals and
the principles of universal morality.

Where'd you hear that? He didn't seem like he had much room for more muscle.
Scroll down to the section on pass rushers.
That's crazy because he was already hella buff and strong. He just need to get better with his hands and develop some more moves. Has great athleticism, strength, and arm length and was a beast in college in sacking the QB and forcing fumbles.
