A New Site Feature
I know less than nothing about how this would have to be implemented, so feel free to ignore this. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows people to "follow" games that they aren't in?

NFL Pick 'em: Week 6--Can the Giants Get A Win? Should the 'skins Change Their Name?
We start Week 6 with a game that looked a LOT better before the season started, the Giants and the Cowboys. The Cowboys and Redskins play on Sunday Night, an always-fun match-up (what do you think about the Redskin name, by the way, change it or no?) and there are plenty of interesting games with the Pack and Ravens going at it, the Saints and Patriots going head-to-head, and more. So, Week 6, here we go...PICK 'EM!

Shoddy Peer Review in Open Access Journals
As reported in Science (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full):
Open Access Journals may be more likely to accept suspect papers (as they are paid by the authors) as demonstrated by Bohannon, who submitted a clearly false paper to several hundred journals, to be rejected by less than half.

Support holding a unit which is supporting another units move?
If a unit is supporting a move, can another unit behind it support hold it or does that not work because the unit it wants to support hold is not holding?

Say Rumania wanted to support move a unit but I wanted to support hold Rumania from Bulgaria would that protect Rumania or would it not work?

In a sense it's sort of true. The only contact I have with the personifications known as Draug and Nigeebaby are via this forum, and many of those contacts (far, far too many) are Obama related. If Obama never was then a significant percentage of the Draugnar and Nigee projection would be rather different. That they are what they are is Obama's fault.

...methinks I need a holiday...

...That I don't have one is also Obama's fault...

@Santa - who cares - Harry Reid hasn't even tried to pass a real budget in 6 years. fuck off about your Republican shit. Fucking man up, bitch, and admit that all parties are at fault. Admit that Obama is an Absent leader, who refuses to lead, refuses to negotiate; that Harry Reid is an absent leader, who refuses to lead, refuses to do his duty, refuses to bring 26 different Republican funding bills to a vote, refuses to negotiate.

The problem with ass munches like you isn't that you are Liberal, is that you deny reality.

If you were Liberal but had intellectual integrity, you might be worth debating. As you have zero intellectual integrity, you are only worthy of insults and mockery.

obama is a piece of shit, no doubt about it. but lets say somebody lights a paper bag of it on your front door, are you going to say "lets all blame that piece of shit"? no... because the person lighting the bag could have found any piece of shit. and after the next election i can guarantee you a steaming fresh one will be ready to go. and even though it is hard to imagine anything worse than obama or bush, the banks have taken complete control of the economy so they will probably be able to control it even more and put in something even worse. sounds impossible. but lets wait and see.

He has lost the debate and lost the plot, isn't it difficult to take a person serious if he calls Liberals 'ass-munchers', amusing but futile.

"

Spend a $100 and put a mini-fridge under your desk. Then you can make enough tuna for the week and keep it good and chilled along with some cheese and a 2 liter of your favorite non-alcoholic sparkling beverage.

The other thing to do is buy a portable grill (or go in with a coworker on one) and grill out on nice days. Of course grilling season is ending right about now. It's sunny but only 64 degrees outside. A little too cool for grilling and eating at the picnic tables in the park behind the office.
Yes they made it up. Brilliant draug. Outstanding argument

A Nobel in Two Pages
Physical Review is making available for free the papers that won the Physics Nobel Prizes this year (for the prediction of the Higgs boson). One of them is two pages, and the other is three. That's not so uncommon in physics, but it's still remarkable how tersely a great idea can be communicated. Here is the link for the interested:

Yes, we can service our debt and not default on our credit without raising the debt ceiling. Just like YOU, the individual, can prioritize your spending at home (say, cancel cable when money gets tight)...so can the Fed. QUIT LYING OBAMA AND ALL YOU LIBTARDS!
