  • Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003
    Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr. 26, 2003 DALLAS—Big 12 Conference teams had 10 of the first 62 selections in the 35th annual NFL “common” draft (67th overall) Saturday and added a total of 13 for the opening day. The first-day tallies in the 2003 NFL draft brought the number Big 12 standouts taken from 1995-03 to 277. Over 90 Big 12 alumni signed free agent contracts after the 2000-02 drafts, and three of the first 13 standouts (six total in the first round) in the 2003 draft were Kansas State CB Terence Newman (fifth draftee), Oklahoma State DE Kevin Williams (ninth) Texas A&M DT Ty Warren (13th). Last year three Big 12 standouts were selected in the top eight choices (four of the initial 21), and the 2000 draft included three alumni from this conference in the first 20. Colorado, Nebraska and Florida State paced all schools nationally in the 1995-97 era with 21 NFL draft choices apiece. Eleven Big 12 schools also had at least one youngster chosen in the eight-round draft during 1998. Over the last six (1998-03) NFL postings, there were 73 Big 12 Conference selections among the Top 100. There were 217 Big 12 schools’ grid representatives on 2002 NFL opening day rosters from all 12 members after 297 standouts from league members in ’02 entered NFL training camps—both all-time highs for the league. Nebraska (35 alumni) was third among all Division I-A schools in 2002 opening day roster men in the highest professional football configuration while Texas A&M (30) was among the Top Six in total NFL alumni last autumn.

The dataset comprises a selection of party positions taken from two existing datasets: (1) The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File contains party positions for three rounds of European Parliament elections (2009, 2014, and 2019). Party positions were determined in an iterative process of party self-placement and expert judgement. For more information: https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/65944 (2) The Chapel Hill Expert Survey The Chapel Hill Expert Survey contains party positions for the national elections most closely corresponding the European Parliament elections of 2009, 2014, 2019. Party positions were determined by expert judgement. For more information: https://www.chesdata.eu/ Three additional party positions, related to DI-specific questions, are included in the dataset. These positions were determined by experts involved in the 2019 edition of euandi after the elections took place. The inclusion of party positions in the “InDivEU – party preferences” is limited to the following issues: - General questions about the EU - Questions about EU policy - Questions about differentiated integration - Questions about party ideology 1 This includes all 27 member states of the European Union in 2020, plus the United Kingdom.

  • Bucharest, October 4, 2019 to the Attention of Jacob MOROZA
    Bucharest, October 4, 2019 To the attention of Jacob MOROZA-RASMUSSEN Secretary General of the ALDE Party Dear Jacob, Our continuous and ever-strengthening cooperation has so far produced excellent outcomes at every possible level on an European scale, while also having great incentives on the Romanian political background and evolutions. The increasing coordination between Union Save Romania (USR) and ALDE Europe has not only helped our party, as well as the Alliance USR PLUS, in sharing the objective truth about the political evolutions in Romania, but also created the foundations for USR and PLUS to be the forefronters of the new approach to politics in Romania, in respect to safeguarding EU core values and principles and ultimately leading to the creation of the Renew Europe group in the European Parliament. Besides our contribution to and involvement in the evolution of Renew Europe, USR is now a full member of the ALDE family and one of our main political objectives at the European level is to deepen our integration in the ALDE efforts to promote liberalism and the European core values and principles throughout the entire European continent. In this respect, I personally believe, as does every member of USR, that it is the right moment for our party to move one step forward in this process. We are ready to assume a more comprehensive role at the level of the ALDE Bureau. It is the reason why I am honored to present you our nomination of my colleague Radu Mihail as our candidate for a position of Vice-president of the ALDE Bureau.
