A list is a collection of information that you share with team members. For example, you can create a sign-up sheet for an event or track team events on a calendar.
In this article
When you create a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site, several types of lists are created for you. These default lists range from a discussion board to a calendar list.
You can customize and add items to these lists, create additional lists from the list templates that are already available, and create custom lists with just the settings and columns that you choose.
You can view a list in several different ways. For example, you can provide a view on one page of all tasks and a view on another page of just the tasks that are due today. You can also use folders to organize your list items. For example, you can view just the current events from a calendar on a home page and create a visual view — similar to a wall calendar — on another page.
Do you have data in a spreadsheet that you want to use in a list on a SharePoint site? You can create a new list, including the columns and data, by importing a spreadsheet.
If you have database programs installed, such as Microsoft Office Access 2007, and your browser supports Microsoft ActiveX Controls, you can integrate your list data with database tools such as queries, joins, and reports.
Lists can also be displayed in Web Parts on pages on your site. Web Parts are the building blocks of a Web site, and you can use them to add items directly from a list to a Web Part Page. You can also open a list directly and work with it. For example, the default Announcements list appears in a Web Part on a new Team site home page, but you can also click the title of the list to open and work with it on its own page.
Ways to work with lists
The following are some ways you can work with lists to help you to manage information for your group.
Track versions and detailed history You can track versions of list items, so that you can see which items have changed from version to version, as well as who changed the list items. If mistakes are made in a newer version, you can restore a previous version of an item. Tracking the history of a list is especially important if your organization needs to monitor a list as it evolves.
Require approval You can specify that approval for a list item is required before it can be viewed by everyone. Items remain in a pending state until they are approved or rejected by someone who has permission to approve them. You can control which groups of users can view a list item before it is approved.
Integrate e-mail with a list If incoming or outgoing e-mail messages have been enabled on your site, lists can take advantage of e-mail features. Some lists, such as calendars, can be set up so that people can add content to them by sending messages. Other lists, such as a task list, can be set up to send messages to people when items are assigned to them. Your organization can customize other types of lists to receive messages.
Customize permissions You can specify whether participants for your list can read and edit only the items they created or all items in the list. People who have permission to manage lists can read and edit all list items. You can also apply specific permission levels to a single list item, for example, if the issue contains confidential information.
Create and manage views Your group can create different views of the same list. The contents of the actual list don't change, but the items are organized or filtered so that people can find the most important or interesting information, depending on their needs.
Use formulas and calculated values You can use formulas and calculated values to dynamically generate information in the columns of a list. The operations can include information from one or more other columns in a list as well as system functions such as [today] to indicate the current date. For example, you can specify a default due date that is seven days from the current date.
Keep informed about changes Lists and views in Office SharePoint Server 2007 now use RSS, so that members of your workgroup can automatically receive updates. RSS is a technology that enables people to receive and view updates or RSS feeds of news and information in a consolidated location. You can also create e-mail alerts to notify you when the lists are changed or when new items are added. Alerts are a convenient way to keep track of the changes that are important to you.
Share list information with a database program If you have a database program installed, such as Microsoft Office Access 2007, you can export and import data to and from your site, as well as link a table from the database to a SharePoint list. When you work with your list data in a database, you can analyze it as you analyze any data, such as by using queries, joins, and reports.
Use lists consistently across sites If your group works with several types of lists, you can add consistency across multiple lists with content types, site columns, and templates. These features enable you to reuse the settings and list structure in an efficient way. For example, you can create a content type for a customer service issue that specifies certain columns (such as customer contact) and business processes for the content type. Another example is creating a site column for department names that has a drop-down list of departments. You can reuse the column in multiple lists to ensure that the names always appear the same way in each list.
Find links to more information about content types, site columns, and list templates in the See Also section.
Work on list items from an e-mail program By using an e-mail program that is compatible with Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can take important list information with you. For example, with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, you can view and update tasks, contacts, and discussion boards on your site from Outlook.
Set content targeting Items in a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 list can be published to appear only to people who are members of a particular group or audience. This is accomplished by using Web Parts, such as the Content Query Web Part, that uses audience-targeting data to filter the list contents based on the user's context. Before the items in a list can be enabled for a particular audience, the list itself must be set up with the Audience Targeting column.
Types of lists
The type of list that you use depends on the kind of information that you are sharing.
Announcements Use an announcements list to share news and status and to provide reminders. Announcements support enhanced formatting with images, hyperlinks, and formatted text.
Contacts Use a contacts list to store information about people or groups that you work with. If you are using an e-mail or contact management program that is compatible with Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can view and update your contacts from your SharePoint site in the other program. For example, you can update a list of all your organization's suppliers from Office Outlook 2007. A contacts list doesn't actually manage the members of your site, but it can be used to store and share contacts for your organization, such as a list of external vendors.
Discussion boards Use a discussion board to provide a central place to record and store team discussions that is similar to the format of newsgroups. If your administrator has enabled lists on your site to receive e-mail messages, discussion boards can store e-mail discussions from most common e-mail programs. For example, you can create a discussion board for your organization's new product release. If you are using an e-mail program that is compatible with Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can view and update your discussion board while working in the other program.
Links Use a links list as a central location for links to the Internet, your company's intranet, and other resources. For example, you might create a list of links to your customers' Web sites.
Calendar Use a calendar for all of your team's events or for specific situations, such as company holidays. A calendar provides visual views, similar to a desk or wall calendar, of your team events, including meetings, social events, and all-day events. You can also track team milestones, such as deadlines or product release dates, that are not related to a specific time interval. If you are using an e-mail or calendar program that is compatible with Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can view and update your calendar from your SharePoint site while working in the other program. For example, you can compare and update your calendar on the SharePoint site with dates from your Office Outlook 2007 calendar, by viewing both calendars side-by-side or overlaid with each other in Office Outlook 2007.
Tasks Use a task list to track information about projects and other to-do events for your group. You can assign tasks to people, as well as track the status and percentage complete as the task moves toward completion. If you are using an e-mail or task management program that is compatible with Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can view and update your tasks from your SharePoint site in your other program. For example, you can create a task list for your organization's budget process and then view and update it in Office Outlook 2007 along with your other tasks.
Project tasks To store task information with a visual or Gantt view with progress bars, use a project task list. You can track the status and percentage complete as the task moves toward completion. If you are using an e-mail or task management program that is compatible with Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can view and update your project tasks from your SharePoint site in your other program. For example, you can create a task list on your SharePoint site to identify and assign the work to create a training manual, and then you can track your organization's progress from Office Outlook 2007.
Issue tracking Use an issue-tracking list to store information about specific issues, such as support issues, and track their progress. You can assign issues, categorize them, and relate issues to each other. For example, you can create an issue-tracking list to manage customer service problems and solutions. You can also comment on issues each time you edit them, creating a history of comments without altering the original description of the issue. For example, a customer service representative can record each step taken to resolve a problem and the results. You can also use an Issue Tracking list with a Three-state workflow to help your organization manage issue or project tracking.
Survey To collect and compile feedback, such as an employee satisfaction survey or a quiz, use a survey. You can design your questions and answers in several different ways and see an overview of your feedback. If you have a spreadsheet or database program installed that is compatible with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (version 3) or Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, you can export your results to further analyze them.
Custom Although you can customize any list, you can start with a custom list and then customize just the settings that you specify. You can also create a list that is based on a spreadsheet, if you have a spreadsheet program that is compatible with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (version 3) or Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, and Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Windows. For example, you can import a list from Microsoft Office Excel 2007 that you created to store and manage contracts with vendors.
Additionally, you can easily integrate and incorporate information from business applications such as SAP, Siebel, and Microsoft SQL Server into an Office SharePoint Server 2007 site by adding the business data column type to an Office SharePoint Server 2007 list. By adding the business data column type to a list, you can have a list of items that uses a combination of columns from Office SharePoint Server 2007 and from an external business application.
Languages and Translators You can create a Languages and Translators list to use with a Translation Management workflow in a Translation Management Library. The workflow uses the list to assign translation tasks to the translator specified in the list for each language. You can create this list manually, or you can choose to have this list automatically when you add a Translation Management Workflow to a Translation Management library.
KPI List Key Performance Indicators allow you to quickly evaluate the progress made against measurable goals. You can set up KPI lists to track performance by using one of four data sources: manually entered data, data in a SharePoint list, data in Microsoft Office Excel workbooks, or data from Analysis Services — a component of Microsoft SQL Server 2005. After the KPI list is created, anyone who has permissions on the list can use it to display the status of the indicator on a dashboard page.

A dog shelter in New Zealand recently made headlines by training some of its dogs to drive cars prompting delighted applause from YouTube viewers worldwide. Psychologists pointed out that the praise ought to go the trainers, not the dogs. It was, they said, nothing more than an example of "operant conditioning" - the phrase psychologists use to describe the way in which animals can be made to do things utterly contrary to their nature by rewarding certain behaviours and punishing others.
It is important to bear this in mind in trying to understand what happened in Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust during the middle years of the last decade when standards of care fell so low that the treatment meted out to some patients was at times cruel.
A lot of people have asked, 'How could people employed to care for the sick have behaved as they did?" In the case of some, that is the right question.
But for most, the question is rather different: for most the question is: 'How did we create a health service that could induce decent people to do things so thoroughly against their better nature?"
Reading the stories about the infamous Wards 10 and 11 it is clear that unconscionable behaviour had somehow become routine. Patients were humiliated, mistreated and in some cases lost their lives unnecessarily. Doctors, nurses and NHS managers have all accepted that the service provided was unacceptable, yet somehow no-one was able to stop it.
The Francis Inquiry which is due to report on Wednesday will talk about the culture of the NHS and how it needs to change. But in what way does the culture of the NHS allow this to happen? To answer that we need to understand the incentives – the rewards and the punishments - that shape the behaviour of NHS organisations.
What happens when a hospital like Mid-Staffordshire finds it is struggling to deliver a high quality service with the resources available? As an NHS chief executive in that situation, you could simply overspend and breach your targets – and quite likely lose your job. You could try to argue to re-organise services but you are likely to face considerable opposition from both clinicians and the public. Or you can just cut costs, cross your fingers and and hope that no-one notices if the standards of care deteriorate.
The frightening truth about the NHS is that the third of those options is the one that every incentive in the system is pushing you towards. Because the risks that a poor quality service will get identified quickly and the risks of that having consequences for your career remain troublingly remote.
Dr Foster has been publishing data on mortality for all hospital in England since 2001. From the start Mid-Staffordshire had higher than expected mortality rates. In 2007, the data showed the trust had amongst the highest rates in the country. It was mortality analyses from Dr Foster that first triggered the Healthcare Commission, the regulator at the time, to start investigating the hospital. So why did they not prompt a similar reaction from the hospital board or the local NHS?
I was asked to testify to the Mid-Staffordshire inquiry to try to explain this mystery.
It was not that these organisations failed to take any action. They commissioned studies into statistical methodology. They conducted investigations into data quality. They changed the records to make the figures look better. They took plenty of action. The only thing they did not do was uncover the problems with the care being given to patients.
After the problems at Mid Staffordshire first came to light, the Department of Health set up a group of experts to try to fix the problem. The question we were asked was: what is the right way to interpret and respond to mortality figures? After much debate, we concluded that mortality data should act as a prompt to ask further questions.
What? Is that it? But wasn't that exactly what the problem was in the first place? That instead of acting on the data the hospital simply asked more and more questions.
Actually, this is the right answer. Complex data such as outcome measures require careful interpretation. They should act as spur to ask more questions. But this will only work if the people asking them are competent to judge when they are getting the right answers and have a desire to know the truth. .
In December the Dr Foster Hospital Guide named 12 NHS trusts with worryingly high mortality and just last week the NHS named five trusts - many of them the same a- as having consistently high death dates. The response from many commentators was, as always, that care needs to be taken in interpreting the figures. That is true. But who is actually doing that? Who is carefully interpreting the figures and coming to a reliable assessment of quality.
We have regulators, commissioners, health authorities, oversight committees and a host of other interested parties. But if you ask where in this panoply is there someone who can reliable recognise quality and its opposite, or where, in all the myriad information published about NHS services, there is anyone making a credible assessment about whether a service is superb, just about up to scratch, or simply no good; the answer is nowhere.
This is a vacuum that needs to be filled as a result of this inquiry.The NHS needs to move away from its blame culture in which performance is assessed on the basis of report cards and targets. It needs to develop a culture in which quality is assessed with skill and judgment.
Much of the response to Mid-Staffordshire has focused on improving the available data about standards. This is entirely welcome. The NHS Commissioning Board is now starting to replace the old targets with measures of the outcomes of care and the experience of patients. But these changes on their own are not enough. These new data are complex and require interpretation.
The NHS is getting better a producing information about quality. But its ability to interpret it lags far behind. For too much of the time, work by NHS organisations to understand the quality of services is too much like a dog driving a car. It looks impressive but we all know, in truth, it is not the real thing.
If the NHS is to prevent another Mid-Staffs, front line staff must work in organisation that can recognise and reward quality care. The managers and boards of these organisations must, in turn, be held to account by commissioners and regulators who have the skills to spot failing services and acknowledge those that excel.
Doctors, nurses and NHS managers come into their professions wanting to ensure that patients are treated and looked after as well as they can be. Where they fail it is all too often they have been incentivised to act against their better instincts and been managed by organisations that are blind to the differences that matter.

When the Packers released Jeff Saturday in February, it freed the center to sign a ceremonial contract with the Colts before he officially retires.
That's just what he's going to do. Colts owner Jim Irsay announced via Twitter Friday that Saturday will don his Colts jersey one more time at a press conference officially announcing his retirement from the NFL. There's no date set for the event, which Irsay said will happen "soon."
The return to the team he spent the first 13 seasons of his NFL career with won't just last one day, however. Irsay also announced that Saturday will have a presence with the team after his retirement. What that role might be has been left unsaid, but his long, successful career with the team guarantees he'll be greeted warmly by fans in whatever capacity winds up being his calling.
We wouldn't be surprised if there are more national engagements in Saturday's future as well. During the lockout, he proved to be an affable and thoughtful voice and we could always use more of those talking football on the airwaves.

*The Convention met at the usual hour, and after prayer by the Rev. Mr. Simmons, the journal of yesterday was read and approved.
*See note Vol. II, page 219.
Mr. Stuart of Doddridge, from the Committee on the Boundary, submitted the following report, which was laid on the table:
The Committee on the Boundary to whom were referred certain resolutions relating to the boundaries of the proposed new State, with instructions to report a provision to be inserted in the Constitution, embracing the substance of the said resolutions, and fully defining the said boundaries, respectfully submit the following for the consideration of the Convention.
By order of the Committee, C. J. STUART, chairman.
The following counties, formerly parts of the State of Virginia, as the same have been heretofore laid off and established by authority thereof, namely: the counties of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Taylor, Pleasants, Tyler, Ritchie, Doddridge, Harrison, Wood, Jackson, Wirt, Roane, Calhoun, Gilmer, Barbour, Tucker, Lewis, Braxton, Upshur, Randolph, Mason, Putnam, Kanawha, Clay, Nicholas, Cabell, Wayne, Boone, Logan, Wyoming, Mercer, McDowell, Webster, Pocahontas, Fayette, Raleigh, Greenbrier and Monroe, shall be included in and form part of the State of West Virginia. And if a majority of the voters of the district composed of the counties of Pendleton, Hardy, Hampshire, Morgan, Berkley, Jefferson and Frederick, voting at an election or elections held as provided in the schedule hereof, and a majority of the voters of each of any four of the said seven counties, voting as aforesaid, shall vote for the adoption of this Constitution, then all the said counties shall also be included in and form part of the State of West Virginia; but if the result of said election or elections is otherwise, and a majority of the voters of the district composed of the said counties of Pendleton, Hardy, Hampshire and Morgan voting at the said election or elections, and a majority of the voters of any three of the four counties last named; shall nevertheless vote for the adoption of this Constitution then only the said counties of Pendleton, Hardy, Hampshire and Morgan shall also be included in and form part of the State of West Virginia. The said State shall also include so much of the bed, banks and shores of the Ohio river as heretofore appertained to the State of Virginia; and the territorial right and property in, and the jurisdiction, of whatever nature, over the said bed, banks and shores heretofore reserved by and vested in the State of Virginia, shall vest in and be hereafter exercised by the State of West Virginia."

MR. HAYMOND. I am opposed to taking in any more territory. I was opposed to going beyond the Allegheny mountains; and I never can and never will vote to add another inch of territory to our State. If they take in those counties, West Virginia will be gone. I am satisfied no friend of West Virginia will give one vote for the resolution. Take in those counties, and West Virginia is gone and our labors here are at an end, and I, for one, would be ready to go home.
MR. DERING. I am exceedingly sorry, sir, that this boundary question has been opened up and made subject to the amendments which gentlemen have sought to make in it. But I must oppose with all my might and main the amendment of the gentleman from Kanawha. I concur most heartily, sir, in the view taken by my friend from Marion, that it is one of the most fatal measures to the creation of a new state in western Virginia that could be introduced into this Convention. What, sir, take in a tier of counties in old Virginia that would at once control us again; take in a tier of counties that would legislate in behalf of their own interests and whose interests would be in entire contradistinction to ours? Sir, for one, I will never consent to it. I am sorry, sir, that I did not let this report stand as it came from the hands of the committee. I do not want to reiterate the argument that we have used before in this Convention. I do not want to see that contest all gone over again. But I desire to say now that I believe firmly that if you pass this resolution to include the counties indicated by the motion of the gentleman from Kanawha, you sound the death knell of the new State of West Virginia; and I as firmly believe as that we are standing here that if you include those counties we may all as well go home and let this whole thing go. I do verily believe it is the most fatal measure to the creation of a new State that could be introduced into this Convention. I do trust, sir, that it will be the pleasure of this Convention to adhere to the report; that they do not move the boundaries one single inch farther than they have been moved, and that we will remain with the report just as it is. With our prospects somewhat beclouded and dimmed already in reference to a new State, this would be capping the climax and fixing it unalterably against us. By that we could get no new State at all in my opinion. I trust, sir, we will leave it as it is without any annexation of additional territory.
MR. BATTELLE. I was going to suggest to the gentleman from Kanawha that he was entirely too modest in his request. You just ought to take in the whole State.
MR. BROWN of Kanawha. I am a modest man. I do not know whether I can accord it though to the gentleman as indicated by his remark. I do not propose to take even the half of Virginia, but I hold, sir, it is our duty to do it. The true division line of the State of Virginia is the Blue Ridge; and this amendment does not contemplate only half the valley. You, sir, I presume, have voted - I do not know - for the tier of counties from Winchester to Bath. I only keep on down to the Tennessee line. And, sir, if it was any lack of modesty to take this lower half, what was it to take the upper which is twice as big? I would say to the gentleman from Monongalia who seems to be so very zealous on the subject - who tells us it is his opinion if we permit those counties to come in the new State will be lost - 1 do not take them. I hope the Convention will understand that we do not propose to take them. We only say to them, like we have said to other counties, if they are willing to come in, likely they may have the privilege of doing it. There is no harm done to anybody, and I am satisfied they will never harm us. If they don't wish to come in they will not do it. I wish to say to the gentleman, whose honest opinion as he tells us, is that if they do vote in, or if we extend to them the privilege to vote in, they will destroy the prospects of the new State, that I hope the opinion of one gentleman may be worth as much as that of any other, and it is my opinion that it will not only not destroy the new State but would add to its prospects of success. I feel, sir, as deep an interest in this State as you or any other man. I have done as much, said as much, besought for it as long and faithfully, and expect to do it to the end. I yield to none. Gentlemen may make their professions to the world but I care not a fig for their professions - not intending any disrespect; but I wish to be understood that there are other men who have something at stake in this new State as well as they; that we in the south have some interest in it, and some friendly feeling for our natural relatives and brethren; and that when we are standing up for the privilege that they may stand by us and be with us, we do not think it comes in good taste for gentlemen to keep telling us we are the enemies of the new State and indicating it and that they are par excellence its friends. Why, sir, if we expect to get a state, we must expect to do it by doing it fairly and justly and honestly before the world; and if we assemble here in one little corner to form a new State, it ought to be done by even-handed justice that will commend itself not only to the approval of those to whom we extend the opportunity but also to the approval of the world. We ought not to act on any narrow-minded and contracted and selfish motive. We should look to the interests of those other people who are similarly situated; who are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh; West Virginians as much as we, as true as we are; who have stood by us and battled for the right and that we have battled for; and when we choose to adopt and appropriate that name to ourselves, it don't become us to say at the same time that we will exclude one-half of those who have always worn it with us in common. Now, sir, where are the interests of those people? Is it not in forming a new state that you wish to be a respectable state, equal at least in quality with the residue of the State; that we shall have one in wealth, numbers and population - in everything that constitutes a noble and energetic new state, equal to that which remains of the old ? The Blue Ridge, sir, has been the boundary line between us; and here it is proposed that we shall cut off one-half of those and refuse to give them the privilege of joining with us. I do not ask a single man to enter this State that does not want to do it; but I do say if there is a loyal man within the boundaries of West Virginia, I want to take him by the right hand and say, "Sir, you are my brother, I am willing to stand or fall by you against the world." I have no better friends than these people who will desire to come with us. If they do not, I hope we shall ever continue friends still and neighbors, too.
MR. HERVEY. I apprehend the representatives from Northampton and Accomac will hardly thank the gentleman from Kanawha for his zeal. I do not think they want to remain with us or with Virginia at all. I was in the senate today and there was a proposition introduced there by the senator of that district asking the Legislature of Virginia to authorize a vote to be taken in those two counties, Accomac and Northhampton, with a view to annexing themselves to Maryland. Now, that is their wish; their representatives have spoken on that subject, and I have no objections. I know the gentleman from Kanawha has none in allowing them to choose their own destiny. If they want to go to Maryland, I would say: "Go, gentlemen, and peace go with you." But under these circumstances I have no disposition at all apart from the question of extending to them such an invitation as is here proposed. They are disconnected from us. This Convention has adopted a proposition saying that the counties of Frederick, Jefferson, etc., shall not become a part of this State, unless the intervening counties are included. Now, here is a proposition to take in territory laying away out east on the other side of the whole state - even beyond the Chesapeake Bay, bordering the Atlantic Ocean on one side and extending south farther than the city of Richmond; farther even than the ancient capital of Williamsburg; farther east than any other part of the territory of Virginia, and disconnected by some two hundred miles of the territory and waters of Maryland and Virginia from Fairfax county, the county farthest east named in the proposition lying this side the Chesapeake Bay. That disconnection, of course, would make it impossible, if it were not made so by every other reasonable consideration. If motives of philanthropy alone are to control, let the bird of philanthropy take its full flight and extend an invitation to the whole State of Virginia to come in if they choose. An invitation of this kind was extended in 1861 when we were about to reorganize the Virginia government. You know how it was responded to. But let the gentleman propose to extend an invitation to every county in the state, and then he will be consistent.
MR. BATTELLE. I regret that the gentleman from Kanawaha took my pleasantry so seriously.
MR. BROWN of Kanawha. Not at all, sir.
MR. BATTELLE. I can scarcely regret it, either, since it brought out such a fine burst of eloquence. But the suggestion was based on the incongruity of the thing, attaching us to Lee, Scott, Wise, Russell, Buchanan, Tazewell, Bland, Giles, Craig, Allegheny, Bath, Highland, London, Alexandria, Fairfax, Northampton and Accomac, and seeing what a figure the new State would make on the map suggested a rather comical idea to my mind and led me to make the remark I did. I had supposed it was an indispensable and very desirable characteristic of the boundaries of a state that there should be compactness of territory.
MR. BROWN. I contemplated that Accomac and Northampton will seek a connection with the State of Maryland. Unless we take them in, they will have no opportunity of accomplishing their objects; and I contemplate that the western counties of Maryland - Washington, Allegheny, etc., will seek connection with us, and by the interchange a mutual benefit may be obtained.
MR. BATTELLE. That was the idea - that it would present a very singular figure on the map. I certainly did not question the devotion of the gentleman to the new State that we are creating here. But I will suggest to the) gentleman that if - to use his own language - "equal and exact justice" is to characterize our measures here, it does seem to me a little doubtful about the justice, while the Old Dominion is in duress, of stretching our arms across her territory and across her great bay to take a part of her territory in no way connected with us or necessary to us, over which at present she has no control.
MR. DERING. I desire to reiterate my opinion again, and that, sir, every gentleman has a right to do on this floor - to give us his opinion and the effect of any amendment or proposition that is made by any gentleman here, and I claim that in that respect I am the peer of any gentleman here so far as my rights are concerned on this floor.
MR. BROWN. I hope my friend will not suppose I either questioned or doubted the fact.
MR. DERING. I do verily believe that it will be the effect of this amendment if adopted that it will cast forever in gloom, and defeat forever, the creation of a State in West Virginia. Take in Wayne and Russell and Wise and Buchanan, Northampton and Accomac, and you take in an element with them that would produce destruction and distraction for all time to come, if that territory were embraced in the same organization with the territory we now propose to incorporate in this State. Why, sir, I would sooner go back to old Virginia again and be together as we were before. What was the vote of those counties on the ordinance of secession. Why, sir, it was overwhelmingly in favor of the ordinance. Do you wish to embrace an element of discord, that will forever keep us in hot water? An element that cannot if it would always but be bitter against us in legislation. Do you wish to embrace an element that looks upon us in the west as a set of , who know very little, like wild men of the forest, out here in West Virginia? There is no similarity of taste, feelings or ideas existing between us; no homogeneity whatever. We are distinct in everything - in commerce, in ideas, in feelings, in territory and everything else; and we ought to be, and we must be, I hope, too, a separate and distinct people. Sir, I trust we never shall be allied again with old Virginia, and this is a large part of it that the gentleman's amendment endeavors to bring in, as I think, not arbitrarily but by the vote of that people.
The vote by yeas and nays was demanded by Mr. Brown, and being taken the amendment was rejected by the following vote:
YEAS - Messrs. John Hall (President), Brown of Kanawha, Chapman, Garskadon, Dolly, Hubbs, Montague, McCutchen, Simmons, Stephenson of Clay, Sheets, Smith, Taylor - 13.
NAYS - Messrs. Brown of Preston, Brumfield, Battelle, Caldwell, Dering, Dille, Hansley, Hall of Marion, Haymond, Harrison, Hervey, Irvine, Lamb, O'Brien, Parsons, Powell, Paxton, Pomeroy, Robinson, Ryan, Sinsel, Stevenson of Wood, Stewart of Wirt, Soper, Trainer, Van Winkle, Warder, Wilson - 28.
*On motion of Mr. Powell, the Convention adjourned.

Argentina and Brazil first to qualify for 2014 Men's World Championship
Argentina beat Colombia 3-0 (25-17, 25-9, 25-17) on Friday to secure their third consecutive victory and a place in the tournament final while Brazil beat Chile 3-0 (25-19, 25-19, 25-17) to also advance to the playoff for the title on Saturday. By advancing to the final, Argentina and Brazil are the first teams to qualify for the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship 2014, joining hosts Poland.
Despite the difference in technical level and large number of errors, Chile were determined to approach the net and not let Bernardinho's team dominate the game. Thanks to the good work of Gevert, Bonacic and Vicente Parraguirre, Chile managed tie the score three times during the third set and took the lead by three points at 9-6. "It's always important to play against Brazil who are semi-professional," Parraguirre, who scored 13 points, said. "Today we showed that we are working and in the right way. I'm happy because we played as equals."
For Brazil, Sidao, who was returning to the team after three months and a half out following back surgery, was the top scorer with 12 points: "We did not play all that we could play and they came for all or nothing, taking on our strong, attacking line up," he said. "That's a bit difficult but the decisive points at the end of the sets were key."
In the first match of the day, Argentina had no major problems to make their experience count against Colombia with central Sebastian Sole and opposite Bruno Romanutti leading the way. The Colombians, who beat Chile in five sets, led by Argentine coach Marcelo Gigante, who joined the team less than a month ago, also made some crucial errors.
"I'm happy because we played well and we won our main goal, qualifying for the World Championships," Argentina coach Javier Weber said. "We kept a good pace in the game with strength and determination. I want to see this same performance against Brazil (in the final), the best team in the world in the last decade. It is always very special to face them and I would like my team to show the same determination."
The top scorer for Argentina was Federico Pereyra who made 14, while for Colombia Alexander Moreno collected seven. "We entered the court with extra motivation, the vacancy for the World Championship," Pereyra said. "To have any chance with Brazil, we have to respect them, but we need to play as well as we did today."
The South American Championship XXX provides two tickets to the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship Poland 2014. The third vacancy will be played for in a qualifying tournament in Colombia.
All confederations are completing their qualification process ahead of the FIVB's premier volleyball tournament, which takes place every four years.

Video description: A pair of pretty stunning Falcon Exclusives take a thrilling tumble when Paddy O'Brian gives his dominating cock to dazzling newcomer Jimmy Fanz. Jimmy's a happy-go-lucky hottie, who takes a fiery ass-grilling and busts a nut all over Paddy. Jimmy goes googly-eyed when Paddy walks in, and when Jimmy cunningly strips off his clothes and wades into the pool, the sparkling super stud, Paddy, is quick to follow. Paddy locks lips with Jimmy and clutches their bodies together, pressing their cocks into one over heated package. Jimmy gets seriously down on Paddy's supersize tool, and drags him to the bedroom where the two hairy chested men get into high energy fucking. Paddy's a heaving, sweaty fuck machine. His bodacious cock jackhammers nuts deep into Jimmy's hole, stretching it wider than Jimmy thought possible. The pummeling speed strokes make Jimmy wail. It's a total meltdown for Jimmy, and his spunk explodes. Paddy blows an earthquake orgasm, leaving a prize of thick white cum pearls nestled in the curly black hair on Jimmy's belly.

Diem refuses to negotiate with Communists
Declaring that South Vietnam is "the only legal state," Ngo Dinh Diem, Premier of the State of Vietnam, announces that he will not enter into negotiations with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) on elections as long as the Communist government remains in power in Hanoi.
The elections had been scheduled for 1956 under the provisions of the Geneva Peace Accords of 1954 that brought an end to the First Indochina War. Diem reaffirmed the position laid down in his broadcast of July 6 in which he stated that South Vietnam was not bound by the Geneva Accords.

Concord (cities, United States)
Concord (kŏng´kərd, kŏn´kôrd´). 1 city (1990 pop. 111,348), Contra Costa co., W central Calif.; settled c.1852, inc. 1906. An eastern suburb in the San Francisco Bay area, it has electronics and petroleum-refining industries. A nearby U.S. naval ammunition depot was the site of the devastating Port Chicago explosion of July, 1944.
2 Town (1990 pop. 17,076), Middlesex co., E Mass., a high-income suburb of Boston, on the Concord River; inc. 1635. Electronic, metal, and wood products are made there. The site of the Revolutionary battle of Concord on Apr. 19, 1775 (see Lexington and Concord, battles of), is marked by Daniel Chester French's bronze Minuteman. Concord has many old houses, some opened as memorials to noted occupants—Emerson, the Alcotts, Hawthorne, and Thoreau—who made the town an important intellectual and literary center (see transcendentalism) in the quarter century preceding the Civil War. An antiquarian museum and the Old Manse, built in 1769 by Emerson's grandfather and made famous by Hawthorne, and the place where Ephraim Bull developed the Concord grape are there. Walden Pond, the site of Thoreau's two-year sojourn in the woods, which is described in his Walden (1854), is in Walden Pond State Park.
See W. B. Maynard, Walden Pond: A History (2004).
3 City (1990 pop. 36,006), state capital and seat of Merrimack co., S central N.H., on the Merrimack River; settled 1725–27, inc. as Rumford, Mass., in 1733 (Count Rumford later took his title from this name) and as Concord, N.H., in 1765. Famous for its granite, the city also has printing, millworking, and insurance industries and plants making electronic, metal, dairy, and clay products. It became the state capital in 1808, and its growth was further aided by the building of the Middlesex Canal in 1815. St. Paul's school (preparatory) and the house of Franklin Pierce (a museum) are in Concord. Mary Baker Eddy was born a few miles away, at Bow.
4 City (1990 pop. 27,347), seat of Cabarrus co., central N.C., near the edge of the Piedmont; settled 1796, inc. 1837. In a livestock and grain producing area, it is also a cotton textile center. Other manufactures include plastics, building materials, paper and food products, and optical fibers. Gold discovered nearby in 1799 started the North Carolina gold rush. Concord is the seat of Barber-Scotia College. Lowe's (formerly Charlotte) Motor Speedway, a stock-car track, is there.

Feminist News
On Monday, Lieutenant General Craig Franklin overturned the rape conviction of an air force service member who was found guilty by a jury. Franklin claims there was not sufficient evidence that the woman had been raped.
The Air Force fighter pilot was convicted in November for aggravated sexual assault by a jury of four colonels and a lieutenant colonel. He was dismissed from the Air Force and sentenced to one year in prison. Lieutenant General Franklin overturned the jury conviction using "convening authority" - an absolute power of a singe military supervisor to dismiss a jury decision.
The Lieutenant General's decision has warranted outrage from members of Congress. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said "The military needs to understand that this could be a tipping point. I question whether, after this incident, there's any chance a woman assaulted in that unit would ever say a word. ... There's a culture issue that's going to have to be addressed here. And what this decision did - all it did was underline and put an exclamation point behind the notion that if you are sexually assaulted in the military - good luck." In a letter to the Air Force Secretary and chief of staff she said "His decision shows ignorance, at best, and malfeasance, at worst. I strongly urge you to undertake an immediate review of his conduct and consider removing him from his leadership position."
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel saying "This is a travesty of justice... At a time when the military has unequivocally stated that there is zero tolerance for sexual assault, this is not the message it should be sending to our service men and women, and to our nation."

Here is a view of Chicago from the lakeside path. The picture has been stitched from 4 overlapping images.

|Keywords: Photography Usa Blog Chicago
I'm in Chicago for a week, attending a conference. We got here on tuesday but our luggage didn't arrive until last night thanks to our 1st plane being late and the airline not having enough time to transfer the luggage over to the 2nd plane. Unfortunately my laptop charger was in the luggage so I had to restrict computer use because I didn't want the battery to run down and leave me unable to do any work.
I'll upload some photos eventually but I'll just waffle on slightly at random for a few minutes first.
There seem to be a lot of 'news' style programmes on in the mornings and I found myself watching a lot of 'Good Morning America' on ABC but I had to give up because they were spending so much time talking about the upcoming Royal Wedding. I'm sure I've seen more about it here than back home.
I really can't watch Fox News. It seems to be aimed at 10 year olds, or at least aimed at people who like inane comments and slightly stupid sounding presenters.
Why did CNN give Pierce Morgan the Larry King job? Surely they could have found someone better, or at least less annoying.
About half the adverts seem to be for pharmaceuticals of various types. A lot of these have a spoken warning at the end which seem to imply that one of the side effects might be death. I know they have to be careful and try to cover all eventualities but that would put me off wanting to take some. Also I mocked an advert for a product aimed at people who couldn't produce enough tears and so needed something to lubricate their eyes. I really wouldn't have thought there was a huge need for such a product and couldn't understand why it was being advertised so much. That was until I spent 2 days in an over-air-conditioned conference centre which seems to be sucking all moisture from my body. Now I understand. If most offices are as bad as that then there is definitely a need for the product, but surely a simpler solution would be just to turn the air conditioning down a little. Where I am right now, there is a bridge between the conference centre and the hotel and there is often a howling gale blowing though, probably caused by an imbalance in the air conditioning in the two buildings.
OK, I spent longer prattling about medicines and air conditioning than I really intended. One thing which has impressed me about Chicago is the public transport. The buses and trains are cheap at $2.25 for a journey or $23 for a pass which is valid for an entire week. This even includes a trip from the airport to the city centre. The buses also have a loudspeaker which gives the name of the next stop or road junction, which makes it really easy to find out where you are and when you need to get off. This is so much better than the buses in Coventry, which are expensive and not part of a properly 'integrated transport' system and half of the drivers don't seem to know their route very well so if you try to ask them if they go past a particular place they can't or won't answer you. The 'Travel West Midlands' company which runs most of the Coventry bus service can't even be arsed putting prices on its website so as an infrequent bus user it's a pain finding out the prices because all the buses are 'exact change only'. The Chicago buses are also exact change, but since all journeys are the same price and that price is well publicised, it's a much friendlier system.
Beer is quite expensive here with pints being between $5-8 depending on bar and type of beer, but a lot of bars seem to stock a good range of 'proper' beers and not just industrial factory-made tasteless lagers. I've been impressed with the beer selection in most of the places I've been to so far.
Food in bars is reasonably priced and of course the portions are enormous. We've not been disappointed by either size of quality. Food in shops is quite expensive, with fruit often costing $1 a piece and snack bars are at least that much too. I was terribly disappointed with the american Tropicana juice. Back home, Tropicana is a premium brand and is nearly all 'freshly squeezed' or at least not from concentrate. All the juices I've seen so far here have been made from concentrate and have other flavours added, usually listed as something like 'Naturally occurring flavours not from Orange' or something similar. The flavour is nowhere near as good as the UK Tropicana.

Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins' Don Jones humbled, changed since anti-gay tweets
For a few weeks this spring, Don Jones was the NFL's face of intolerance.
And all it took was a couple of disapproving words on Twitter about Michael Sam.
What hasn't been said, until now: Jones has a gay brother. And their relationship, in his words, is "a great one."
"I don't have [a] problem with gay [people]," Jones told the Miami Herald on Thursday. "Shoot, I do have a bunch of family members that are gay. My brother, my cousins. I never really had a problem."
Those shades of gray were lost draft weekend back in May, when Jones tweeted "omg" and "horrible" after watching Sam kiss his partner during the NFL Draft after becoming the first openly gay picked by an NFL team.
The Dolphins, still hurting from their ugly bullying scandal, acted quickly. They condemned Jones' remarks; coach Joe Philbin called them "inappropriate and unacceptable" in a team release.
And they fined Jones, a second-year defensive back, and suspended him from team activities until he completed sensitivity training.
Nearly three months later, a chastened Jones is back in good standing with the team, and adamant that he has changed – for the better.
"I didn't intend [any] harm," Jones said. "I just made a bad mistake. I had to learn from it."
The reaction, internally and externally, caught Jones by surprise. But once the team explained to him why his words were divisive and inappropriate, he agreed to the time away.
That education included seven sessions with a sensitivity counselor, running four hours each. In all, Jones was away from the team for 10 days.
"I learned I can't be judgmental," Jones said. "I have to respect what everybody's doing."
Said Philbin: "All the feedback we got from the educational piece was very positive. He's been a good teammate throughout, since he returned to the team. I think he's a thoughtful individual. I think he understands the impact that actions and words can have on others. He's really done well."
Jones' suspension served two purposes: It punished the player for behavior deemed unacceptable by the franchise; and it sent a message to the rest of the team that actions have consequences.
Owner Stephen Ross has made improving the level of discourse, in his locker room and in society at large, a priority. His players have apparently gotten the message.
Much was made this week of the players-designed training camp T-shirt that had the Dolphins' 2014 credo.
Included in the text: "I am the change that I want to see in my team," and "I live respect and truth-telling."
Jones, for his part, said he has has changed in several ways. Most notably, he has learned the power of words, even short ones on social media.
He acknowledges that the fact that a sizable chunk of the outside world sees him as homophobic concerns him. And yet ...
"I definitely think all of it's behind me," he said. "I just try to move forward and go on as a team. I've learned. I feel pretty good."

If you ever had a RWD RC car, you probably remember how much fun it was to slide around the kitchen until it's little driveline got clogged with cat hair.
Ever wonder what you could do with it now if you never gave it up for silly distractions like school or dating?
You just might be on the level of YouTube user y29rai, who works drift-king magic in the littlest Nissan you ever did see.
Just listen to that motor squee'ing away!

Subscribe To Eric Johnson Accused Of Cheating On Jessica Simpson With Ex-Wife Updates
I've already subscribed
Eric Johnson left his wife in October of 2009, started dating Jessica Simpson in May of 2010 and got engaged to the combination singer, actress and reality star about six months later. At least that's how the official story goes, but if new reports are to be believed, there may have been quite a bit of overlap between the two women.
Several friends of Eric's ex-wife Keri told Star Magazine that while the former San Francisco 49er was first beginning his relationship with Simpson, he was telling his wife he wanted to work on their marriage and get back together. Consequently, he was allegedly sleeping with both women for an extended period of time and lying through his teeth about it. Here's what one of the pals told the outlet…
"She needs to think twice before marrying him. He's already cheated on her once — he'll most likely do it again."
Once upon a time, everyone thought Simpson was going to stroll off into a fairy tale sunset with her husband Nick Lachey. Unfortunately, that perfect scenario didn't happen. After their divorce, Simpson met Johnson, reportedly while he was at a dinner party with his wife and wound up getting pregnant and having a baby before they were wed. It was all a bit quick and bizarre, but considering how happy they both seemed, most fans were on board with the relationship.
If this whole sleeping with both women at the same time scandal happened, it really paints their relationship a different color. At this point, however, that's still a very big if. We'll keep you updated if anyone decides to speak on the record or any actual facts emerge. Until then, treat this story with a raised eyebrow.

I don't think time suggestions constitute rules - they are suggestions, and indications of the relative weight of the portions of the exam. These are the kinds of things you should notice at the beginning of the exam, at which time you can probably ask that the professor be contacted for clarification. I just have a really hard time seeing how this is particularly unfair, or problematic to the point that it should be challenged. Everyone had the same instructions and the same suggestions. If it is really such an issue, then I don't think it's unreasonable to presume that many other students were impacted similarly, so (assuming a forced curve)...it shouldn't actually significantly impact grades.I get that exams are high-stakes, particularly IN THIS ECONOMY, so I guess I can understand wanting to challenge it on the chance it helps, presuming anonymity is maintained. I just personally think it's whiny bull.
While you shouldn't panic, you should be realistic. This is not a problem regarding your perception of how you did or whether you had a quality answer for the last question, it is a problem of not completing the exam. Have you talked to other students did they finish it or make substantial headway? If the majority did, you're probably in a bad spot. Fact is you gave away close to 1/3 of the possible points on the exam and meaning your max total is around 66-70% (if your first two answers where perfect, if you got say only 90% of the possible points on the 1st 2 you are looking at a max of about 59%) where even students who only got half the points on the last Q will be shooting for a max of 84%.

brisbane reviewed – sarina russo english language school brisbane
by noss on May.05, 2012, under brisbane reviewed
people like to know things. so i've decided i'm going to help people out getting to know things. because i live in brisbane, i decided i should share my wealth of knowledge that is crammed into my brain on all that is brisbane. this is serious business. i'm going to keep the reviews short and sharp. cause no one really cares to read many words. especially people from brisbane. they have severely short attention spans. so here we go.
sarina russo english language school – ann street brisbane
i strongly advise against learning english at the sarina russo english language school. usually the footpath is littered in asian and indian folk that block the footpath. they're about as good as using a footpath as they are at driving their toyota camry. the wall of students is made worse by the coffee cart out the front. the reason why not to study there? you ask these people to move and they turn around and say "solly no engrish"

I noticed that recently there have been a number of articles regarding the ending of Mass Effect 3, but most of them don't take both points of view into account. Some community members feel like their concerns aren't being addressed, and their arguments are being shoehorned into "it's not happy so it sucks". Because a number of gamers have been invested in the series for around five years now, there's no doubt going to be an emotionally charged discussion on this, which makes it that much more interesting.
Personally, I've beaten the game twice, obtained a 100% Galactic Readiness level, and completed the Infiltrator iOS app, so I'm fairly invested in the game, and would love to hear your thoughts. One friend of mine actually restarted the game halfway through because one minor non-playable character, who you only see a few times over the course of the game, died. That's dedication!
Similar to my Vita community Feature, we want you to speak up and give your reasons for or against Mass Effect 3's ending. After a few days, I'll compile the results. You never know -- Casey Hudson could take your idea and make it DLC!
Of course, spoilers are going to be abound in the comments -- continue reading or click at your own risk.
