O man this is so hilarious!!! Zing Saloman, a definite Zing. TFH HAS BEEN BURNED. I really dont think the admissions committee (as incompetant as they are) have anything to do with this idiot. He does however seem to spark some life into some very talented zingers on here. Bravo.
Here is a conspiracy theory for you. I'll bet its the Harvard admissions committee in collusion with Yale. They put up annoying posts about Columbia that they know will start a backlash and hey presto, people hate Columbia ..... Think about that one :)

Zing is a slang word (probably confined to Ireland, home to all things odd). Means you made a clever funny/bitchy comment that should be celebrated by the saying of Zing. This conspiracy stuff is getting deep .... hmmmm ... lets see if we cant add to it. Maybe I really am an agent sent to fix the backlash of a failed admissions policy by trying to throw people off track. MAYBE, I'm part of a wide scale clean up and smear operation run by Fuhrer La Fargue. My mission, LETS BLAME HARVARD for EVERYTHING that went wrong here. People will believe, because they want them to be the enemy after the test e-mails. Thus will Columbia be saved from our incompetence.
MAYBE I was sent on here in the promise of a place on the next space mission. That eight year old just wont quit.
OR maybe Harvard now know, that you know, that they were the ones originally responsible for the whole thing and are trying to confuse people to make them forget ..... thats right .... you will FORGET ALL YOU HAVE READ HERE ..... this is the Voice of Harvard .....
It really all boils down to the neverending battle between the schools for our souls, which they convert to a handy monetary figure and extract with the greatest amount of pain they can inflict. I dont think I should drink coke before I come on here anymore ......

Columbia's team received the most honors of any team competing at the 13th Annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot.

Competing for six days in Vienna among 156 teams and nearly 1000 students from around the world, Columbia advanced to semifinals of the team oral arguments and earned awards in every category:

- 3rd place team in the oral argument tournament
- 1st place for Claimant's Memorandum
- Honorable Mention for Respondent's Memorandum (one of 10 honorable mentions out of 156 entries)
- Individual Honorable Mentions for "Outstanding Oral Advocacy" for: Lorraine de Germiny & Christina Cathey Schutz.

The Vis International Arbitration Moot is the largest and most prestigious International Private Law mooting competition in the world. It is organized by the Institute of International Commercial Law at Pace University and hosted every year by the University of Vienna Faculty of Law. In addition, the Moot is sponsored by many of the world's foremost arbitration and commercial institutions. Furthermore, it is attended every year by many of the world's most renowned arbitration practitioners and scholars, who arbitrate at competition rounds and speak at the variety of arbitration-related conferences and symposia that are organized in Vienna to coincide with the Moot.

Columbia's Jessup International Law Moot Court Team has won both the national and international competition in the final rounds of arguments held this weekend in Washington, D.C.

The Jessup Moot is an international competition sponsored by the International Law Students Association (in conjunction with the American Society of International Law). This year, 556 teams competed worldwide from
89 countries, of which 104 teams from 81 countries (including 13 teams from the United States) advanced to compete in Washington. Columbia's team had previously won the Atlantic regional round, at which Alka Pradhan was the second-ranked oralist and Corey Whiting was the fourth-ranked oralist. In Washington, our team prevailed over the other U.S. competitors and went into the semifinals ranked 4th out of 104. They then won the semifinal round and ultimately the suspenseful final round in a packed large courtroom at the U.S. Courthouse.

Vincent Levy and Tracy Appleton argued the final round against the Venezuela team, before a bench consisting of Judge Bruno Simma (of the International Court of Justice), Sir Michael Wood (former Legal Advisor to the U.K. Foreign Office), and Nicola Bonucci (Director of Legal Affairs at the OECD). At the conclusion of the argument, the judges commended the Columbia team both for their written briefs (known as memorials in accordance with international practice) and for their oral advocacy. Vincent Levy was honored as best oralist in the final round.

The 2006 Columbia team is the first U.S. team to win the international Jessup competition since 1990, and the first from Columbia to become world champions since 1963 and 1965. (Columbia most recently won the national championship in 2003.)

Obviously people on this forum lack some basic sense of humor... I know that you are stressed right now because of all these admission letters that just don't want to land in your mailbox. But guess what: in 1 month you will laugh about all that!
