Not that it matters now, but no. Italy would have advanced, having the higher total goals scored.

The winner plays a guy who won 16-14 in the final set. If ever a match could top this one, it's the 2d round matchup.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Quote:
One day next month every student at Loyola Law School Los Angeles will awake to a higher grade point average.

But it’s not because they are all working harder.

The school is retroactively inflating its grades, tacking on 0.333 to every grade recorded in the last few years. The goal is to make its students look more attractive in a competitive job market.

In the last two years, at least 10 law schools have deliberately changed their grading systems to make them more lenient. These include law schools like New York University and Georgetown, as well as Golden Gate University and Tulane University, which just announced the change this month. Some recruiters at law firms keep track of these changes and consider them when interviewing, and some do not.

Law schools seem to view higher grades as one way to rescue their students from the tough economic climate — and perhaps more to the point, to protect their own reputations and rankings. Once able to practically guarantee gainful employment to thousands of students every year, the schools are now fielding complaints from more and more unemployed graduates, frequently drowning in student debt.

The US is also in a great position in the elimination rounds -- a quadrant that does not include Germany, Brazil, Argentina, England, or any other team rated in the top dozen or so. Ghana's not an easy team, certainly, and they beat the US in 2006 -- but we're better now, and Ghana is worse without Essien.

I am struggling not to get my hopes up.
It's just like WW2. France surrendered early, the USA arrived late, England is left to fight Germany. And Ireland took no part.

the austrians stayed out of the world cup, which frankly would have made WW2 much more contained.


edit- plus Japan made sure South Korea wasn't around by the time the real comp started.

Will the Russians show up for the final and demand inclusion and credit for reaching the finals?

Yes, please. And for a small, entirely reasonable management fee I am willing to serve as resident caretaker as well.

book 7 cloak of invisibility
 
the board the last month resembles the last bit of Harry Potter-

consider-
Exhihit A
voldemort was back and harry told everyone but some people denied it was true.

ppnyc came back and i warned everyone to be strong, but people like thurgreed claimed it was just a sock.

Exhibit B
dumbledore came back to make everyone feel good and to show the true way.

Anne Elk posted recently.

Exhibit C

The people in charge of the ministry of magic were either intentionally, or at least negligently, on the side of evil.

Ty remains the PB mod.

Exhibit D

there were hints that Neville longbottom was actually the one who would save the day, but at the end he basically did nothing, except get in the way.

more than anyone flower encouraged ppnyc to keep posting.

Exhibit E

A c-list bit character that was generally liked, the one weasley twin, died.

Where is penske? rhetorically.

I ran my first 5K in 45 mins. better than expected but massive room for improvement needed.

Shouldn't that be as illegal as doping? It certainly seems just as wrong.

Walking at a moderate pace is about 13-16 minutes per mile. Congrats on your walk.

Just for fun, I Googled "5K Results" and saw a Minnesota race, so looked that up. Northern Minnesota, so not a ton of participants. Out of 267 women in the race, you would have come in 268th. Possibly 267th. The last place woman was 45 minutes. Second to last place was 43 minutes. Top women were about 17 or 18 minutes. The "fast" people you know who finished in 30 minutes would have finished in the lower half of women.

oof. flamin' fridays, indeed.

I never said I was fast. Just said I completed the Chase CC and I did not stop to walk. As in, 4 years ago I could have never even completed it unless I walked.

It's a determined stroll. It is a purposefule stride. It's an appropriate speed in an airport, shopping center, or on a sidewalk.

everyone i knew that did 1/2 hour is in top shape. and in their 20s. if you are saying Minnesota folks are fitter fine. but ripping on 1/2 hour is lame.

Should I deepen my relationship with the Cult of Jobs?
 
It's that time to get a new home computer. I'm trying to decide whether to make a leap to Apple or not. If I do get a Mac desktop, can I use the Acer monitor that I have for my PC with the Mac? Can I use my HP all in one printer/fax/scanner with the Mac? How well does Citrix work with a Mac? I know, I know, I could Google that myself, but I would like to hear first hand experience with those of you using Macs at home.
