In the penalty shootout, Ronaldo was slated as the fifth kicker, but of course, it never got that far.
It's a decision that will be severely criticized in Portugal.
Stephanie- Ronaldo didn't kick: they were saving him for the final kick, a decision that will be very hotly debated in Portugal.
My pet peeve, FWIW: diving is absolutely ruining international soccer. There is virtually no tackle or challenge that occurs without one of the players sprawling to the grass as if he just took a bullet to the head. Every...single...tackle.
Yes, there are some legitimate fouls, but this is getting ridiculous.
The only way to stop this is for the refs to issue a yellow card to the diver. Even more radical, red card the diver: the entire unsportsmanlike and annoying nonsense would stop tomorrow.
That said, I see no point in arguing this with you since neither of us will gain any insight.
Disparate people do disparate things..
So even if MNTA had won, it would of [sic] been a tentative approval with all the appeals right?
OT- Grammar/usage:
My current pet peeve is the constant misuse of myself in place of me. A national broadcaster last week: "Please contact John or myself."
I think that it stems from the common "I/me" confusion with the resultant notion that me is an always-incorrect lowbrow word and myself is cultured.
Well said, sadly true.
My greatest concern is that it's not only us who must suffer them, it's our children and our grandchildren.
It's like the coming of some great Dark Ages again. Frightening.
I've posted this here before, but indulge me, just one more time. (Bolding mine.)
THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
-William Butler Yeats(1865-1939)
Stephanie- Wait a minute, let me get this straight: are you actually suggesting that our enlightened electorate would ignore all facts, statistics, past performance, logic and common sense and merely vote on the basis that one guy is white and the other guy is black!
I'm shocked.
I apologize for just dropping in occasionally, and I'm sure that this has been mentioned here before, but we Democrats are certainly in a bind regarding Romney's religion.
One word of criticism and you can just imagine the uproar.
Since I'm not an elected official and I'm old enough not to particularly give a crap what anyone else thinks, IMHO the Dems should take the gloves off on this one: Mormonism is fundamentally nutty, and anyone who subscribes to it is a nut.
OT: You rightfully expect correct usage and precise terms on a board dedicated to science, and perhaps Jesse was wrong in using order of magnitude to imply a specific sum, but the term can be used to merely suggest a degree in a continuum.
I know the stock that you're talking about, CRBC, and yes, it did quite well after the RS.
While statistically reverse splits fail more often than not, the fundamental health of the company is usually the deciding factor. With many small biotechs, it's just a way of postponing the inevitable: a reverse split does not make the drug any better.
However, with banks--and I'm hoping with FBC in particular--it will serve not only the primary purpose of meeting the NYSE listing regulation but also stimulate institutional buying.
Best of luck.
FWIW:
1. Still holding a substantial position.
2. Waiting for the the annual meeting.
3. At the meeting, the company basically has no practical alternative but to announce a reverse split: could be anything from 1-for-2 to 1-for-10 (I'm guessing 1-for-7, which would bring the stock above $5.)
4. I'm then hoping for a positive market reaction and a steady climb towards a more realistic valuation.
Best of luck to all.
why is it that paulthugs feel that even though they didn't WIN the state they should get the delegates ?
Yesterday,in discussing the exceptional amount of blatant Republican lying this year, an experienced and well-respected adviser for a Democratic officeholder said this to me (I'm going to paraphrase:)
"For many years I've been puzzled by the sheer malicious obviousness of some of the Republican print and TV lies.
I knew that they were either insane or evil. [Note: How else can you explain the whole Birther thing?] I tried to be charitable and assumed mere insanity.
But this year, for the first time, I'm starting to go with evil."
I am by no means a short-term trader (you know I think TA is bunk), but there should be plenty of opportunities along the way to play the inevitable ebbs and flows in the biotech sector.
One problem with making the more pedestrian argument of product liability is that Botox is widely used with great success in spasticity and movement disorders.
Legal machinations—AGN wins new trial based on argument it couldn’t warn patients for an off-label use for Botox:
LOL, thank you Stephanie, things are going well for me and my family.
Very involved in the Ohio campaign between the incumbent U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown and his Republican challenger, Josh Mandel.
The amount of super PAC money for Mandel is hard to believe, as is the ferocity and sheer audacity of their lying. IMHO it's a strong vision of what is to come in the national election: it ain't going to be pretty!
Take care, keep fighting the good fight.
"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." -Mark Twain
Over & out with your nonsense; can't understand for the life of me why the folks here encourage you with rational replies.
you keep with that hopey changey! Good for you
Good article, Stein is 100% on point: because of the candidate discount, contrary to popular belief, super PACs may decide not to use their money for TV ads. It's all about bang for the buck.
However, what would really be interesting would be an impossible-to-calculate statistic showing the bang-for-the-buck relationship between money spent on Big Lies and money spent on facts. Which one gets more voters?
My pick would be the liars, and I think that Romney's camp in particular agrees. Better to spend it all on a really good lie that's broadcast on prime time TV than piddle it away on small lies told by mail or over the phone.
For the people who understand the complexities behind his statements and vote based on real facts and real thought (not just on Faux News snippets) nothing at all was undermined.
Vin- Good to know that you keep abreast of developments in that area.
The gentleman is merely repeating the views of an actual organization—believe it or not—called The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics. http://www.thincs.org/
Their mission statement asserts that cholesterol research is simply a "campaign," that producers and manufacturers of animal food have needlessly suffered economic harm, that "millions of healthy people have been frightened and badgered into eating a tedious and flavorless diet or into taking potentially dangerous drugs for the rest of their lives," and scientific evidence in support of "the cholesterol campaign" is non-existent.
As Genisi suggests, one would expect their membership numbers to drop precipitously as time goes by.
Completely OT: I want to thank Dew and the other professionals on the BV board.
I've learned a lot about biotechnology, science in general, and a hundred other things while at the same time being entertained and—as a bonus—occasionally making some money.
The best of luck to everyone here.
I’m just about the only one in my family who’s not an attorney, but it’s a body of knowledge that has always fascinated me and I’ve managed to learn quite a bit about it.
One of my best friends in town is a well-known law professor, and to make sure that Peg and I were not talking at cross-purposes, I just spoke to him on the phone.
He laughed and said that to a large extent it’s a matter of semantics and common usage: any time a police officer stops you, you are technically arrested (stopped), but for all practical purposes the real meaning is reserved for when that officer takes you into custody.
He did agree that many people misunderstand the difference between being arrested and being charged.
I have no idea about the particulars of the Florida law.
More importantly, what I do know is that I abhor the disgusting racial slurs and stereotypes that have been so freely flying around, most of them from you.
So when I am "stopped" for a light out on my vehicle, that means I am "arrested"?
so what's your opinion on why he wasn't charged?
Charging is the filing of court papers by the prosecutor who reviews the police info and decides if it's sufficient. If it's not sufficient, the person arrested is let go.
It can't happen simultaneously and it doesn't have to happen consecutively, which is what I think is occurring in this situation.
The police are investigating what happened, Zimmerman may still be charged.
I know nothing about the picture.
Arrested includes stopped, detained, even taken into custody.
It does not mean charged.
Peg- Just as a point of info, arrested basically means the same as the literal definition of the word: stopped. The police officer has what he/she believes to be probable cause--a reasonable suspicion that a crime was committed and you did it.
But that's a big difference from charged.
You can be arrested, detained, even cuffed; questioned at the scene, in a cruiser, at the station; then released with no charges.
What is the best book to read on trading OTC stocks,
ISTA—The B&L buyout was evidently waiting on ISTA’s patent settlement announced two hours ago:
OT: C-SPAN is currently covering the Supreme Court oral arguments on the multi-state healthcare lawsuit.
As you say, an endlessly discussed issue.
I'm afraid that you either misread or misunderstand some of it.
Every man in the states was required to arm himself so he could be in the well-organized militia. That did not mean then nor should it mean now one person or one unorganized group of people whose sole purpose in being armed is simply to be armed.
The amendment is certainly not clear that it is about the right of the people; it is about the obligation of the people to be prepared to fight for the country, within an organized framework under experienced officers. A Militia, not a gun nut or a vigilante,
It is very clear that it is for the protection of the state that the right to bear arms is emphasized, not because the framers felt that this right—in and of itself, with no specific purpose— was of paramount importance to an individual.
So are the guns on buses for the kids who get out of line or the drivers who pass the buses when the Red lights are flashing?
now you're talking -- send them that list -- you'll probably get an offer to become a very well-paid 'big thinker'-type Second Amendment pundit
NRA Lobbies For:
1. Obstetricians should be armed in case baby comes out shooting.
2. Guns attached to all grocery carts to prevent Produce Rage.
3. Mandatory “Gun Under Every Pillow” law: we’ll all sleep safer.
4. Re-legalization of dueling: will reduce court crowding.
5. Neighborhood Tank Patrols: eliminates whole groups of those pesky hoodie-wearers.
6. A gun in every casket: even zombies have Second Amendment rights!
7. Arming of NBA & NFL refs: eliminates complaining.
8. Arming of NBA & NFL players: shortens games.
9. All librarians armed: no more overdue fines.
10. Addition of Charlton Heston to Mt. Rushmore.
It doesn't matter what the president says, they just HATE him! If he discovered a cure for cancer, they'd attack him for putting oncologists out of work.
President Obama, speaking from his heart, says that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon.
Newt Gingrich calls this remark "disgraceful": ""It's not a question of who that young man looked like. Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe, period. We should all be horrified no matter what the ethnic background. Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot that would be ok because it didn't look like him?"
Has this guy just totally lost his mind and along with it any shred of common sense and common decency?
At what point does a garden-variety personality disorder like Negative Interpretation Bias morph into sheer paranoia?
