You woke up, yet again to the knock on the door. 'Time to make breakfast,' you thought to yourself. You got up, hoping you wouldn't fall again, but you did. Just on your knees this time. You made the rest of the way without falling and tripping more than twice. Once you made it to the kitchen, Francis was there, doing the usual preparing. You came up and attempted to scare him, but your plan failed when Francis turned around. He looked somewhat surprised when he said, "You're here!! Help me out here, will you?" You nodded and said, "Sure." It's not like you could say no anyway. Once Francis and you finished cooking, you had to t

Today was your last day of freedom from the Spanish ship. You met with your father to tell him that you weren't coming to see him anymore while the ships were here. It was a time of freedom, with a timer. You said you'd visit him in the future with Penelope and Mother. You said your goodbyes, and you left him.
You reached the dock, but this time, Arthur was there. It looked like he was waiting for you. He saw you and said, "Hello __G/N__." You gladly said hello, with that mysterious feeling inside you once more. You told him that you met your father. You were smiling the whole time, telling him the things you did with your father. You realized it was

Chapter nine, already? Wow, that was fast. I think that, we are near a conclusion in the story! Hmm Now, story time!
Since you met your father at the Northern Village, you met him every day. Well, for how long you were staying there. You were now happier than usual, since you and your father had stories to tell. You told him about how one time, Penelope came home with frizzy hair. Your father told him about how once he was stalked by a drunk lady. You both enjoyed your time together while it lasted. But, one day, another ship came, and it was Arthur's.
So here you were, walking to your usual meeting spot with your father. You had no concerns about today, unlike the others day, where you worried about if Arthur was coming. You had your usual conversations with your father, stories, and home. That made you wonder if everyone at home was doing well, and if your

But you shot out of your trance a couple seconds later. You replied, "Hello." You had nothing to worry about. You sounded like any other boy to go along with your appearance. You asked, "Why are you here? We've done no harm." He answered with, "I'm just looking for someone. A girl, from when I came here years ago." You stood there in shock. 'He couldn't be talking about me Could he..?' you thought. "You won't be able to find her in this big place. Western and Eastern Village put together is huge." He said, "Oh really?

To you, Arthur looked astonished.
"Well, what?" you asked, since he was just there. Staring at you. He snapped out of his trance and said, "I was just surprised that such an innocent looking girl could " he trailed off. "Look, act and sound so much like a boy," you finished for him. "Yes, exactly," he said. You knew anyone would be surprised, especially if they knew how you looked as a child. You sighed. You changed the subject after a suitable amount of silence. "It looks so beautiful out here, at night!" you said.
*Arthur's POV*
'Well, not as beautiful as you, love,' I thought. I didn't say that though. "Yes, it does," is what I said instead. Her (E/C) eyes had a small sparkle in it. I noticed I was staring at her, so I turned away and looked at the ocean.

Epilogue, we're here! I thought I'd make this series a WHOLE LOT longer Oh well, anyway, here's that epilogue~!!! You know what? You are only going to be called by your real name here so, this -> (Name) means your real name.
You married Arthur. You and Arthur loved each other, more than anything. Arthur never stopped being a pirate though, so you joined him in his pirate life. Everyone, east, west, north, south, knew the powerful Kirkland couple. You were invincible with him. You were a couple with no defeat, and none planned in the future. You still were your own self, but you had been less secretive about the fact you were no man. In fact, you weren't secretive at all. You were still in men's clothing, still the short hair. All the same, and you were happy.
"Arthur~!" you called out, happily.
"Yes, love?" he replied.
"What are you doing?" you asked curiously.

Ok, so I was bored out of my mind, so I started this today, (4/30/12) instead of tomorrow (5/1/2012). I'm bored, so I think hopefully, this will be a 'longer-than-usually-the-length-I-write' story. Ok, so mostly you'll be called by your girl name here, I guess since the main characters all know that you're a girl, and I believe we'll get to your birthday~!! (Let's see how that goes.)
Today, you actually woke up BEFORE the knock came onto your door. You were ready to go once the knock came, and you actually made it through your room and hallway without falling. You had a sense of accomplishment when you reached the kitchen. You did the usual things; prepare with Francis, chop stuff, and give spices/things-he-needed-to-make-the-soup-better. After that, you brought Arthur's food to him, in the greatest mood you've ever been. You let your mind wander until you didn't real

Hi! I'm here! With an updated Pirate!EnglandXReader!! Whoo! Awesome, isn't it? Yay! So, story time! Remember, your boy name will be used here. And, there may be some cussing.
You were on the Spanish ship, in an unfamiliar room. As boring and dull as your room before you decorated it, you were on the bed, just lying there. You were thinking of what to do, there wasn't anything really. Here were the possibilities:
1.Try to escape.
-Swim away
-Make a trap
-Make Antonio what's-his-name let you go
2.Try to get along with everyone on the ship.
3.Wait for Arthur.
4.Figure out why Antonio what's-his-name seems so important.
You didn't think you had the skill for number one, so that was off the list. Number two was seemingly impossible, since you were stuck in this dull box. Only three and four remained, and you had to wait

You were now accepting the small meals you received daily, learning they were not poisoned after a rat ate it and it still ran around your cell. It was lonely down in the brig, you were the only prisoner and the cell to your left actually had the bones of a human body. Your time on this dreadful boat was going swell.
You were aware that after your village they ransacked the Tunsington and Ranthsworth villages which made you depressed. Pirates are bloody thieves that are blinded by selfishness. But you only knew this because every night the Captain came down to talk to you for some reason... Ha, look at yourself, addressing him as Captain like you were scared of him. Wait were you?

You smiled at what you just did a perfect drawing of the English man. It was him looking at the hotel, which you couldn't see. He was staring off at the hotel and you were hiding in an alley way. You had a hat on and a grin to go with it. You even drew the people around at the time. You carefully put it in the bottom of the box and then grabbed the smaller box. You taped the CD of the video recording on top of the smaller box. Then you put a card on the box too, along with a small spy ware camera. You wanted to see his face when he opened the box. You smiled then wrapped up the box.
You tossed the box on the bed and threw yourself on the bed too. You needed to sleep then tomorrow; you would go on the heist and take what you wanted. You let your thoughts swirl around your head and finally dosing off to a bliss filled sleep.

You lived in the small village of Brunsham that was located on the shore of England. It was a nice little place, quiet and calming. You knew everyone in the village and you lived with your mother and two little sisters that were both four years old. Your mom was named Josephine and your sisters were Violet and Sunny. Your father had died in a war years earlier. That really took a toll on your family but now the past was behind you.
You rested in your bed, the whole village quiet and calm as always. It seemed like any other night, but you woke up to something, something that was not to your fancy. Bells were being rung and the sound of men and women yelling awoke you.
You hopped out of your bed, throwing your covers off. Your two little sisters were screaming from the other room and you ran to comfort them. "It's okay girls, come on." You helped get Sunny and Violet out of their beds and took their hands into the kitchen. You shifted over a rug that your mother had knit herself

'Oh god, let me make it in time!' the pier grows closer, and yet it still feels far away. The huge shape of a ship sits outlined against the pale orange sky, a symbol of pain deep in your heart. Shouts can be heard from the pier, mingling with the cry of seagulls and the crash of waves against the sandy beach. When you finally reach the pier, you are out of breath, but still you continue to hurry, fearful that you might miss your only chance to see him one last time. You push past burly looking men who barely glance at you before returning to whatever they were doing. Finally you reach the dock where a small boat is waiting, to carry it's passengers to the ship sitting farther out.

The day was dull and dreary. Earlier that morning you had been at the market where your small town by the sea seemed to be celebrating. You heard bits and pieces of the gossip as you strolled through town.
Apparently a ship from the Spanish Armada had attempted an attack on the town but was taken down late last night. Curious, you decided to go down to the beach to maybe take a look at the wreckage.

'Damn it.' Arthur thought to himself. He was tired, cold, and hungry. He'd been stuck on Antonio's Ship for over three months now after his ship was taken over. Antonio had pulled a sneak attack on him and taken him hostage. Being the 'Greatest Pirate Captain in the 7 seas' wasn't always a good thing. He was being tortured and starved to death by Antonio probably just out of jealousy. But he was wondering why he was still alive for that matter, without him, Antonio would probably take that title. Though there was a huge bounty on his head

You slightly sighed walking down the sandy beach. Living alone at only 16 wasn't all it was made out to be. You felt lonely. All the people in town were kind, but it always felt awkward to be around those people. In order to make a living in the small town, you dressed as a boy and worked at the docks. It was quite easy to pull off because of your *cough, cough* flat chest and the fact you had absolutely no curves at all. If anything, your skinny figure and long hair would give it away. (Pretend you have long hair if you don't.) Seeing that there was no one around, you take your hair out of your hat and let it wave in the wind.
Stopping to stare out at the sunset, something floating far out in the water catches your eye. You squinted to get a better look. At first it looked like a bit of wood from the ship that sunk. No, you were wrong, there was a person floating in the water. Clinging for dear life to a broken plank of wood, past out. You

Guess it wasn't a dream after all. You fluttered your eyes open, squinting a bit from the bright ray of light shining directly at you. "Ah, good morning, Arthur." Placing your palms against the hard wood floor, thoughts ran through your mind. Were you going to go home? What will happen? Who's looking for you? Is anyone even looking? Before you knew it, you dozed off into your own thoughts, only to have Arthur snap you out of them with a morning kiss. This time, the kiss was different, much different than yesterdays, it wasn't forceful, or desperate, it was rather delicate and loving. You couldn't help but to 'try' to return his kiss, but failed. Arthur pulled away, chuckling.

Of course. We're all over YouTube.
What is she talking about? Do they have a popular video/incident on YouTube? Do they put their broadcasts on YouTube and expect people to watch them? Is she being sarcastic and saying, "No, because people only watch YouTube"? I don't get it!

I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR ASKING THIS. Seriously. When I'm on the subway I just glare hatefully at the ads going "What the fuck does that even mean? Why is it in comic sans? What the fuck kind of graphic designer did this?"
I especially hate the one where it says "I had the boys down in graphics do a little photoshop" and the chick says "DIVA." It would be better if there was photoshopepd make up on the dude, because at least it would make a little sense. But no. They look the same as in every other ad.
All the other ones aren't the least bit clever. And also, as Lyrus commented, there's one particular ad where the speech is in title case but NONE OF THE OTHER ONES ARE LIKE THAT. GOD.
I haven't hated an ad like this so much until now.

Can we talk about the one with the cheeseburger on it? First of all, it looks like someone just googled "cheeseburger" and used the first image that popped up. Second, if he's THINKING about food, why is the image in a god damn SPEECH bubble!

I hate Good Day so fucking much.
[–]dj_siek 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago
I read it like they're trying to say G'Day. Good Day sounds so messed up.

[–]ClayburnAstoria[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago
Do they think that's what a YouTube is?
[–]Lyrus 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago
They use title case for these speech bubbles "Have You Seen Good Day Lately?" and standard case for the speech bubbles in the other ads. Also they split You and Tube.
Yes, I spend far too much time analyzing subway ads.

I wonder if someone sent Adobe a photo of this what their reaction would be. They're very protective of their trademarks and insist that nobody use "photoshop" as a verb. Maybe we can get these signs taken down altogether......
[–]harrodeleted 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago
I assumed some graphic designer wanted to get fired, so he/she submitted those ads, and then was blown away when they actually used them.
And then that graphic designer sat down and had a good cry.

Thank you for asking this. I felt dumb not getting it.

At least Uniqlo throws celebrities on it. There are sometimes attractive women to look at. On the 7, that's usually the only source of attractive women.

If you gave these ads even a moments thought you'd go brain dead. What about the one where he's just saying a picture of a hamburger, and she replies something along the lines of 'YOU'RE ALREADY THINKING ABOUT FOOD?' It's in a damned word bubble and it's not even a WORD.
These ads defy everything I've ever learned about graphic design and comics.

Demigod Includes Hammers, Fire
by Nick Breckon, Jan 14, 2008 1:54pm PSTGas Powered Games' latest project is becoming a little more clear with the release of a few more images.
Using the Supreme Commander engine, Demigod will borrow aspects of gameplay from RTS mods such as Warcraft III's Defense of the Ancients, allowing players to control a single hero unit within a massive online battle.
A release time frame and platform has also been revealed since the initial announcement: Fall 2008, on PC.

Several people were injured in a 3-vehicle crash near Garden City Sunday afternoon, but only one person was hospitalized. The crash occurred at around 2:20pm on Highway 169 just north of Garden City. A Ford Expedition driven by 32-year-old Chad Brandts of Garden City was reportedly stopped to make a left turn when it was rear-ended by a Chevy Trailblazer driven by 77-year-old Dean Ikier of Vernon Center. The collision pushed the Expedition into the other lane, where it collided with a Saturn driven by 58-year-old Marvin Peplau of Lake Crystal. Ikier was hospitalized in Mankato with non-life threatening injuries. Brandts and his passengers, his spouse Shawna Brandts and their 2 young children all suffered non-life threatening injuries as well, but were not hospitalized. Peplau and his passenger were not hurt.

Talk:ALGOL 58
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ZMMD paragraph confusing[edit]
I have two questions about this paragraph:
By the end of 1958 the ZMMD-group had built a working ALGOL 58 compiler for the Z22. ZMMD said Zürich (ie. Rutishauser), München (ie. Bauer, Samelson), Mainz (ie. Z22), Darmstadt (ie. Bottenbruch).
- What is the ZMMD-group?
- What does the second sentence mean?
Riordanmr (talk) 19:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Heinz Rutishauser, Friedrich L. Bauer, Hermann Bottenbruch, and Klaus Samelson teamed up to develop the compiler.
- ZMMD is an abbreviation for Zürich, München, Mainz, Darmstadt – for Heinz Rutishauser was professor at the ETH Zurich, Friedrich Bauer and Klaus Samelson both worked in Munich, the Z22 which they built it for stood in Mainz, and Hermann Bottenbruch was a mathematician from Darmstadt.

Washington – The White House will reportedly take questions about the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico via YouTube. As reported by AFP, spokesman Robert Gibbs is expected to answer questions submitted on the popular video sharing website following President Barack Obama's televised speech about the disaster on Tuesday.
White House director of new media Macon Phillips is quoted by AFP as stating of the matter, "Across the country, many have questions about how this disaster happened — and what's being done to make things right… To better understand what people want to know, we are offering a way for anyone to vote on questions about the oil spill or submit their own."
Individuals may submit questions at http://www.YouTube.com/WhiteHouse, and see questions streamlined live at http://www.WhiteHouse.gov/live.

You may have missed the news, but this is the 50th anniversary of a cheap, scrappy British science fiction series called Doctor Who. Like a fair number of folk my age, I first stumbled across Doctor Who one Saturday afternoon on PBS, back when PBS was able to air things like Doctor Who, The Avengers, The Prisoner, and it being cultural and all, Benny Hill. Unlike many, however, I seem to be one of the few people who came into the show not during an airing of the iconic Tom Baker years, but rather during the tenure of the man with the velvet smoking jackets and Venusian aikido. The Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, was my introduction to Doctor Who, and he remains my favorite. Continue reading…

At Cinema Junkie, Beth Accomando says good-bye to Breaking Bad: "In the end for me what Breaking Bad delivered was a portrait of America and a distinctly American sense of identity.

"Walter White, Angry White Man"
"If…other antihero shows played off the thrill that results from being able to do anything or take whatever one wants, then Breaking Bad is increasingly about how unpleasant that actually is in real life.

Did Pope Francis Perform an Exorcism? Vatican Says No
Video footage shown on Italian TV from St. Peter's Square on Pentecost Sunday shows Pope Francis performing some type of ritual on a visitor in a wheelchair which has some believing the pontiff was performing an exorcism. The Vatican denies this, saying that the pope was performing a healing prayer on the young man.
The footage shows Pope Francis shaking the hand of the visitor, then after a priest mentions something in his ear, the pope placed both hands on the young man's head in prayer. The visitor reacted visibly to this, which has caused a number of media outlets to declare the action an exorcism.
In a statement made on Vatican Radio, director of the press office of the Holy See Fr. Federico Lombardi clarified the pope's actions. "Pope Francis' decision to place his hands on the head of a sick child and pray over him on Pentecost Sunday stirred speculation he might have performed an exorcism. The Holy Father did not intend to perform any exorcism. Rather, as he frequently does with the sick and the suffering who come his way, he intended simply pray for a suffering person who had been brought before him."

Calls are flying off the shelves in Juniper Networks, Inc.'s (NYSE:JNPR) options pits today, with the contracts trading at nearly eight times the average intraday call volume. By the numbers, 8,133 calls have changed hands, compared to fewer than 250 puts. The November 20 call is the most active strike, where 6,911 contracts -- including one large block of 4,443 calls -- have been exchanged, mostly at the ask price. Implied volatility is up 1.6 percentage points, and only 615 calls make up open interest here, pointing to the initiation of a fresh batch of bullish bets.
With JNPR perched at $20.39, the calls are currently in the money. However, in order for the options to be profitable at expiration, the stock must rise above breakeven at $21.27, which is the strike plus the volume-weighted average price of $1.27, ahead of the close on Nov. 15. Delta for the call is sitting at 0.58, indicating a 58% chance the option will remain in the money over the next six weeks.
The lifetime of this call encompasses a time frame which tentatively includes JNPR's third-quarter earnings release. Against this backdrop, implied volatility at the November 20 call is inflated relative to the stock's 40-day historical (realized) volatility (42.4% vs. 31.0%). In other words, premium is rather expensive at the moment, relatively speaking.
Technically, JNPR doesn't have much to brag about, with the shares up a slight 3.7% year-to-date. However, Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE:JNPR) has matched or exceeded analysts' bottom-line earnings expectations in each of the past eight quarters, which has translated into an average gain of 2.7% in the week following the report. It could be that today's batch of option bulls may simply be betting on a repeat of history.

'Anxiety for thousands' as care home group closes
Related Articles
Published: 11 July 2011
Britain's largest care home chain told the City that its 752 homes - which care for 31,000 residents - would be taken over by landlords after talks on a rescue deal failed.
Some 200 homes will be transferred to existing operators but landlords of the other 502 are still finalising their plans, raising concerns they could yet be sold or closed.
Southern Cross chairman Christopher Fisher said that he was "absolutely" confident that care would continue for elderly and vulnerable residents.
"Throughout this period continuity of care in the homes has been our first priority and we will achieve that outcome," he told BBC radio. But campaigners were less confident. Health policy analyst Roy Lilley said underlying problems had not been fixed. "It still leaves lots of anxiety for the people and their families who are involved," he said.
"I think they have just gift wrapped a very horrible present and passed it down the line."
Ros Altmann, director general of the Saga group, said: "We know the short term is secure but we still do not know what the long term position is for the residents and their families and the staff."
Southern Cross has been fighting for survival since March, when it warned that it was not earning enough money to pay its rent or landlords.
That prompted a restructuring period which led to today's announcement. It had been expected that some landlords would quit the group, leaving Southern Cross with a few hundred homes, but this will now not happen and it will close entirely.
Trading in the company's shares had been suspended. Mr Fisher said the "huge care resource" within Southern Cross would be made available to landlords to help provide services going forward.
A Department of Health spokesman said the Care Quality Commission has been asked to ensure that all homes continue to comply with safety and quality requirements.
"The Government's primary concern in this matter remains the welfare of the residents living in Southern Cross homes," the spokesman said.
"Whatever the outcome, no one will find themselves homeless or without care. We will not stand by and let that happen."

The State of Florida's recent "wisdom" in underfunding new baseball spring training facilities is a great shame. Arizona has stolen away the Royals, White Sox, Indians, Reds, and Dodgers in this decade b/c of the misguided belief that Florida's strong residential growth and tourism market didn't need spring training baseball. And beyond seasonal visitors, think of how many retirees moved to this area to be near the Twins and Red Sox (and Royals back in the day).
Now many of these coming Midwestern retirees will go to Arizona instead to follow their team. Just more proof that this state has no vision or economic strategy other than adding to the excess of new housing. Gotta love when we live up the moniker Flori-DUH.

McCann Investigations Offering Assistance with Embezzlement Cases
Tweet Send to a FriendAustin, TX (PRWEB) October 27, 2013
McCann Investigations, a company operating in the Austin, TX area that provides services for private investigations and digital security, recently announced the availability of its embezzlement investigation services.
Embezzlement is defined as the process of withholding assets with a demonstrable intent to convert those assets. The perpetrator could be a single person or a group of people, and they typically have been entrusted to guard the assets in question. The crime typically takes place over a long period of time and could result in the victim losing large amounts of money. Investigators must use a variety of complex methods to uncover evidence.
"Embezzlement is an extremely complicated crime, which means that investigators must be skilled and experienced," said Daniel Weiss, Managing Partner at McCann Investigations. "Our Austin forensic analysts have experience in a variety of tactics to help uncover evidence of the perpetrator."
The methods used in embezzlement investigations typically involve use of traditional surveillance, as well as analysis of computers, email, mobile devices, computer networks and much more.
These cases often result in court appearances, and when they do, McCann's investigators ensure that any and all evidence collected follows the appropriate guidelines to be admissible for use as court evidence.
"We are dedicated to protecting all of our Austin clients from fraud," said Weiss. "In working with us, our clients have access to investigators who do all they can to keep the finances and their personal information secure at all times."
For more information about the services provided by McCann Investigations in the Austin area, visit the company's website at http://www.mccanninvestigations.com and follow the company on Twitter at @mccangi.
About McCann Investigations

McCann examiners have provided expert testimony and reporting in hundreds of cases across the state.

One in three Americans get news through Facebook, according to a study from the Pew Research Center released on Thursday.
Almost 80 per cent of those surveyed happen upon news when they are checking up on friends or sharing photos. Heavy news consumers did not describe Facebook as an important source of news, the study found.
"People go to Facebook to share personal moments — and they discover the news almost incidentally," Amy Mitchell, director of journalism research at Pew, said in a statement.
The survey is the first part of a series of studies that the Pew Research Center in collaboration with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation are conducting to examine social media and news consumption.
The study said that about two-thirds of all U.S. adults use Facebook. The world's largest social media site displays a stream where people and publishers can share news. Only four per cent of Facebook news consumers said the platform is the most important way they obtain their news.
Social media is playing an increasingly important role in how people find news. The trend is especially pronounced among young people who prefer to get news through platforms like Twitter or Facebook rather than traditional forms of print or broadcast television.
In an earlier study, Pew found that 34 per cent of people aged 18 to 24 consume news through social media compared with 10 per cent of adults between the ages of 50 to 64.
The current Pew study found that adults aged 18 to 29 account for a third of Facebook news consumers.
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are all experimenting with ways to aggregate and share news as a way to keep people coming back to their platforms. On Monday, Facebook said that referral traffic to publishers' sites increased 170 per cent through the past year.
Facebook users are not discriminating when it comes to the source of news — 70 per cent click on news stories because of interest in the topic. Only 20 per cent said they read a story based on the news organization.
The survey was conducted Aug. 21 through Sept. 2 among 5,173 U.S. adults including Facebook users.

Ivy League Basketball: Huge Weekend With Top Two Teams Facing Off
Just two weeks ago in Ithaca, NY, Cornell and Harvard were preparing for what was coined as the biggest Ivy League game in history. The game was determined "the place to be" by ESPN.com's Andy Katz, and was being hyped up by all college basketball junkies.
Final score: Cornell 86 Harvard 50.
This left many people scratching their heads, and was a huge reason Cornell jumped into the top 25 rankings just two days later.
However, as Cornell has floated along through the Ivy league schedule winning by no less than 14 on its way to a 6-0 start, one other team has silently crept in their rear view mirror. Princeton, which has won 11 out of their last 12 games will be hosting Cornell in New Jersey Saturday night in what should be a very hyped up match-up.
Although Princeton hasn't beaten any of the top teams like Cornell has (Alabama, St. Johns), the do have quality road wins at both Harvard and St. Joseph's.
Cornell may have the advantage in experience. They have eight seniors on the roster this year. A few of which, such as Ryan Wittman and Jeff Foote have NBA potential. Princeton is led by Doug Davis and Dan Mavraides who both average in double figures.
One worry that they have at Princeton might be fatigue. This is their first home series since January 24 in a rout against Goucher. It will also be the second game of the weekend, as they will be taking on a quality opponent in Columbia, a team that has struggled in Ivy play due to injuries. Cornell will also be on the second half of their weekend slate, but will be taking on Penn, a team with just three wins to boast.
Princeton however, has seven of their last 10 Ivy games at home, and Cornell six of their last eight on the road. With no conference tournament in the Ivy League, this could have a key role on who goes to the tournament.
This should be a very interesting game, will Cornell solidify their dominance in the Ivy League, or will Princeton take over first place? Take a break from the power conferences and enjoy some quality basketball from a different league, the Ivies.

Why does The Economist not write an article "Merkel has done such a good policy in the last 4 years and we, The Economist, want to do everything to talk Steinbrück down no matter what his policy is"?
The Economist welcomes your views. Please stay on topic and be respectful of other readers. Review our comments policy.
Why does The Economist not write an article "Merkel has done such a good policy in the last 4 years and we, The Economist, want to do everything to talk Steinbrück down no matter what his policy is"?
"The loss of shame is the first sign of idiocy"
- Sigmund Freud
I am convinced that *all* leading politicians of *all* established political parties give *all* voters the finger, *all the time*.
They just try to mask it, with The Art Of Being Right.
The full "interview without words" is here:
It's good. I particularly like the photo response to question 4. "Vice Chancellor Rösler (FDP) doesn't think your competent to be chancellor. Do you have a message for him?"
The front page picture choice is always the magazine's decision. Obviously the picture is taken out of context; actually he was on his way to physiotherapy to remove the stiffness. How could it be confused for an American gesture?
It seems Peer's middle finger is often stiff . . . (in a transferred sense). Maybe he needs psychotherapy ... not physiotherapy.
His gesture provided more content in one second than Merkel could in two terms.
Obviously he's flippin' the bird at his audience . . . ?? The electorate! Ooooo!
Understandably so, how dare they still voting wobbly Angie all over :)
It's a last desperate act, It's not going to make him win but i guess he will feel better.
The German would rather keep the safe and working Merkell, even if they are seriously fed up of her, than that unreliable egomaniac.
What happen to the good old real politicians, where did they go, why do we have so much clowns globally!
Steinbrück will do everything to attract attention. Arrogant, ignorant, incompetent, mediocre and very rich - nothing else comes to my mind when I hear his name.
You have obviously reduced the value of your post by saying Steinbruck being incompetent and very rich.
You're being a bit po-faced here and bit stuck in your establishment bubble. While most commentators and politician tweets - at least initially - condemned the photo, plenty of online comments I've seen and plenty of people I've spoken seem to take the gesture as it was intended. Context is everything. In this case the context was a series of provocative questions to which the interviewee was obliged to reply in silence, either using facial expression or gesture. People seem to be more than able to contextualise.
Steinbrück, contrary to your suggestion, is not a moron, either. In fact, there seems to be some relief that at least one of the Chancellor candidates is showing signs of life and the ability to make some sort of judgment in the first place; this compares favorably with an incumbent who prefers to wait and see what others say and then panders to the majority opinion in the polls.
Indeed, I think it adds to Steinbrück's character. This will disgust many who don't like him anyway, may endear him to some of the younger, more rebellious voters who have either deserted the SPD or politics in general and be the usual storm in a tea-cup for the rest. Were he to become chancellor there will be little fallout as with Steinmeier as diplomat in chief and handle foreign relations, Steinbrück would be free to say things many Germans are thinking, though he might have to stop short of calling Berlusconi a clown, but sending in the cavalry to Switzerland would be fine.
The election has so far been depressingly lacking in issues and real political discussion.
"Steinbrück would be free to say things many Germans are thinking", like: "I know, my fellow Germans want nothing more than Eurobonds; I'll make their dreams come true!"
Chancellors of *Germany* also have to deal with Editors of The Economist... Let's get our priorities straight
For the head of a major north european chancellery to give Obama or Putin the 'finger' might be inappropriate, but I can't think of anything better for Edward Lucas
He would just have it deleted anyways
Yes, this was taken totally out of context. Of course Sueddeutsche Zeitung had to pick this picture (out of the many) for their front cover. There wouldn't have been given any attention to this otherwise. What would you gesture if someone calls you a problem? (Of course Angela Merkel would reply with the "Raute" gesture to all questions.) This wasn't a general statment. Journalists are really trying hard to make him look bad.
no, he had the right to block this picture, it was publish with his agreement.
I bet you that he loves it
It doesn't seem to have done him any harm. I think he's got some reason to be furious with the media coverage. The stuff about his public speaking fees was pure theatre. He had behaved perfectly correctly.
Yes, he's undiplomatic. The remark about "the cavalry riding out" in the context of switzerland and tax evasion was simply grotesque.
And how many politicians manage to insult five countries (including Upper Volta, not even a tax haven) in one sentence?
Europe seems to be full of Berlusconi's.
One leaves the stage and another one pops up.
Peer Steinbrueck is eloquent, quick-witted, often hilarious . . . and sometimes awkward; Silvio Berlusconi is only embarrassing.
Some context: This picture is part of an ongoing series in the magazine in which celebrities are asked to spontaneously answer questions mimically and with gestures. The question in this case was: "Mishap-Peer, Problem-Peer, Peerlusconi - no need for you to worry about nice nicknames, is there?".
"Everybody else" spoofing him would so far mostly be the increasingly-marginalized Free Democratic Party.

Roadkill joke
A man is driving his car down a long gravel road. Suddenly, a wide-eyed hare jumps out from behind a bush and our driver is unable to stop before flattening the poor little guy. Distressed, the man begins to cry. A car pulls up behind him and a beautiful woman steps out, pulls a spray can form her purse without a word and sprays the hare from head to toe.The man watches in awe as the hare jumps to it's feet, hops a short distance from the car and turns back to wave goodbye. It continues hopping, stopping, turning and waving until it disappears into the distance. The man asks, "What on Earth did you spray him with?" and the blonde, reading from the can's label replies, "Salon Hair Spray; brings life back to dead hairs.

Nadal is also looking to leave his mark.
Against Almagro, he faced his toughest test so far of this tournament, though that isn't saying much.
He needed 62 minutes to finish the first set, as Almagro pounded groundstrokes right back at Nadal, matching him game for game.
Almagro was up 5-4 and 30-15, but Nadal took the next three points, including a pair of 118 mph service winners.
They went to a tiebreaker, where Nadal pulled ahead 5-1, before dropping three points in a row. But Nadal answered with a cross-court backhand that forced an error and a service winner on set point that brought a yell of "Come On!"
This is what counts for drama in a Nadal match so far. Ferrer's goal on Friday is to create a little more uncertainty.
"It will be tough against him," Ferrer said, "because he's the best player on clay in history."

They could be chimeras, not gargolyes. If they are chimeras, then the meaning could be: Be careful(protect) the genes or genetic material. Jesse Shawyer, the founder of Samsonite, was a biblicist. As such, he may have believed if there was one sin above another which called for the destruction of the race by the flood, it was the base crime of amalgamation of man and beast which defaced the image of God, and caused confusion everywhere. Therefore, the flood, the destruction was a direct result of "amalgamation" or genetic engineering. Whether it is a warning, or an art form created to represent a particular view, celebrate that view, or promote that view, or perhaps to mock that view, I couldn't say. So, it may be a key to survivial. And I could be way off base entirely.

Does anyone know if the city manager previously appointed former Police Chief Crombach? If so, did he get city council input/approval PRIOR to making that appointment?
I don't know who was chief before Owen but he came from outside the department. Then Hurtt from Phoenix, Lopez from LAPD, Crombach promoted from within the department. And Crombach was Holden's choice.
But who in fact made the apointment?
It might be a surprise but the table of organization shows the city manager is the chief's boss.
