I have a CD-R which has worked fine for a good while. All of a sudden, Windows can no longer read its data. It's not scratched, it's clean and Windows can detect the disk and usage of space on it.
But whenever I attempt to access the data stored:
- Explorer crashes
- Or after 5-10 mins of trying to read it, it opens up and just shows a
desktop.inifile in Explorer.
This happens on multiple machines. Any ideas? Is there a way to recover the data?
For example - some sector by sector recovery software if any exist for CD's?

Hamed, the former featherweight world champion who learnt his trade at the same Wincobank gym under Brendan Ingle, was an animated ringside observer and afterwards urged Brook, 25, to "take his time".
"Kell Brook is world class and he will bring the world title back to Sheffield," said Hamed. "This was just a stepping stone. He made Matthew Hatton look so ordinary, a novice. I didn't have Hatton winning a round.
"I'd wait another year before he goes up to fight at world title level. He could reign at world level for as long as he wants to. He's very comfortable in there."
Promoter Eddie Hearn believes Brook would "destroy" Amir Khan, while Hatton rates him as "better than Saul Alvarez", the Mexican wunderkind whom he fought for a world title, in the wake of the 12 round 'War of The Roses' battle in the City of Steel.
Brook could be matched against Amir Khan in a pay-per-view fight backed by Sky according to Matchroom promoter Hearn. Khan will move up to welterweight after his re-match with Lamont Peterson in Las Vegas on May 19.
Brook, still a work in progress, proved his world title credentials with a classy display against Hatton, earning a huge winning margin on the cards – 118-109, 119-108 and 119-107 – to maintain an unbeaten 27-fight run. He dominated from first to last, to earn the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation Inter-Continental 147lb titles.
Hatton, his face and forehead furrowed with lumps after his 50th fight, said: "He's the best I've faced. I'd include Saul Alvarez in that. Kell broke my nose in the first round. He has a bright future, and he's definitely a future world champion."
Hearn explained: "We could sell out a Kell Brook against Amir Khan in a 40,000-seater stadium tomorrow. If Khan wants the fight, great. If Khan doesn't want the fight, we'll move on and fight someone else."
Hearn may look to match Brook against the likes of Paulie Malignaggi, Marcos Maidana, Shane Mosley or Devon Alexander.
In New York, Matthew Macklin's intelligent and credible challenge to usurp world No 1 middleweight Sergio Martinez at Madison Square Garden in the early hours of Sunday ended at the close of the eleventh round after the British fighter had been floored twice.
In a competitive title fight, the Argentine's heavy punches caught up with Macklin.

The full title of this topic should be
"How to change the menubar of a theme into a menubar I created in photoshop, and then place coordinates in the header file so parts of the graphic can be clicked on"
This may be a complicated, but hopefully someone can help. I dont like the standard font and background colors that can be used HTML style so I designed my own menubar in photoshop for a site I;m working on now (www.thematchmakingco.com). The graphic menu bar is not up there as you will see. I know how to get the graphic menubar up there by changing this in the css file
"#sub_menu ul { width: 944px; margin: 0 0 0 3px; padding: 9px 0; list-style: none; background:
#d1e0fb; text-align: center; }"
"#sub_menu ul { width: 944px; margin: 0 0 0 3px; padding: 9px 0; list-style: none; background:
url(images/menubar2.jpg); text-align: center; }
Now, after this is done, the graphic is show but it collides with the original menu bar that is up on the site now. The "Home", "About Us", Register" ect. still show up. I tried to get rid of it by going to the "Header.PHP" where the menubar is coded and removing
"<div id="sub_menu">
<?php if(function_exists('wp_page_menu')) : ?>
<?php wp_page_menu ('show_home=1&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
<?php else : ?>
- ">Home
<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
But this just made the page not able to be seen.
The question is how can I get my own menubar graphic up without having the original menubar links up there, and once this is done, where I would put the coordinates of the menubar graphic so the user can click on certain parts of the graphic that will take them to a different part of the page. I was assuming I would put all the coordinate coding in the header.php where the original menu bar was coded, but I first need to get rid of the original links to "Home", "About Us", Register" ect.
Thank you

The present study examines the cross-sectional pricing ability of idiosyncratic volatility (IV) in Indian stock market and investigates the relationship amongst expected idiosyncratic volatility (EI), unexpected idiosyncratic volatility (UI), and cross-section of stocks returns. The study uses ARIMA (2, 0, 1) model to IV into EI and UI. The stocks returns are regressed on IV, EI and UI using Newey-West (1987) corrections, in order to investigate their empirical relationship. The study finds that IV is positively related with stock returns. Further the IV significantly explains the cross-section of stock returns in Indian context. After imposing control over UI, as it is highly correlated with unexpected returns, the inter-temporal relationship between EI and expected returns turns out to be positive.

This study aimed at examining the effect of macroeconomic variables on the performance of Jordanian manufacturing companies listed in Amman Stock Exchange expressed by EVA using unbalanced panel data pooled ordinary least square (OLS) regression model of all 77th Jordanian manufacturing companies listed at ASE for the period 2000-2014 resulting in 1085 firm-year observations connecting firm level and time series data set. This study has revealed that interest rate has statistically significant inverse effect on the performance of the Jordanian manufacturing companies (β=-0.064, p-value <0.01).The results of this study have also revealed that Inflation (β=0.0945, p-value <0.05) and Government expenditure ratio(β=0.0734, p-value <0.05) have a statistically significant positive effect on the performance of the Jordanian manufacturing companies at the significance level <0.05.Also, Gross domestic product(β=0.00395, p-value <0.10) affects the performance of the Jordanian manufacturing companies at the significance level< 0.10, and finally, the study has revealed that Money supply and the labor force indicator have no statistically significant effect on the performance of the Jordanian manufacturing companies. Basically, and depending on the results of this study, we can conclude that Economic Value Add (EVA) of the Jordanian manufacturing companies, as a proxy of the performance, is a function of Inflation, Interest rate, Government expenditure ratio and Gross domestic product.

Accounting has been offered as an academic discipline in universities and higher education institutions for more than a century. For the first time in history, the American Institute of Accountants (AIA) puts forth efforts to compile the generally accepted accounting principles back in 1939. Since then, we have witnessed more efforts in setting accounting standards along with an expansion of the accounting theory and academic research studies. All of the mentioned efforts are signs of the fact that accounting is going through a change, from a profession into a field of science. However, one cannot claim accounting as a scientific field without justification, reasoning, and argumentation. Thereby, in this article while studying the deductive and inductive reasoning, we will elaborate their role in developing the accounting theory, setting the accounting standards, and accounting research. What has been expected from the accounting theory is to enable the standard setting authorities to deduce standards. Considering the impact of accounting theory on standard setting, the main aim of this study is to explore the role of deductive and inductive reasoning in the development of accounting theory and setting accounting standards. Furthermore, regarding the fact that accounting research is the joint connection between accounting theory and standards, the role of these reasoning approaches on the integrity of this connection is studied. This non-empirical research is based on reviewing of the existing literature.

This paper focuses mainly on the Shariah screening methodologies for Shariah-Compliant firms. This paper compares the Shariah screening methodologies which are used in selected Asian countries and the United States, a 'powerhouse' nation. In order to include the analysis of the new benchmark introduced in Malaysia as part of this study, the timeline used in this paper is from November 2013 until November 2014. It can be found that there are similarities and differences between the various Shariah screening methodologies in all the 5 countries, in terms of feasibility, duration, economic viability and fund requirements. It also appears that the Shariah screening methodologies implied in the United States is far more stringent than those implied in the selected Asian countries. On the whole, the results point towards the possibility of generalising the implementation of strict and uniform Shariah screening methodologies within all the country-specific Shariah Indices amongst Muslim nations, globally.

The study objects for investigating the ability of traditional and modern performance indicators in interpreting earnings management phenomena of listed manufacturing firms in the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), using adjusted Jones method for measuring earnings management. The study takes into considerations three traditional indicators, including; Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Sales (ROS), and Operating Cash Flow, while the Market Value Added (MVA), Tobin's-Q, and Economic Value Added (EVA) are used as modern indicators for financial performance. A sample consisted of 29 firms had been selected, and data covering the period 2006-2013 had been collected from these firms, where 232 observations were used in the analysis. The study found that the earnings management of listed manufacturing firms at (ASE) still practice the phenomenon of earnings management, at low level based on the measures followed by the study, and that there is a significant linear relationship between performance indicators (traditional and modern) and earnings management. The results indicate that there is a significant as well inverse relationship between (ROA) and earnings management. Also, the study found that modern performance indicators are able to interpret earnings management, where the results indicate that there is a significant as well as inverse relationship between (EVA), and (Tobin's-q) and earnings management. One important finding showed that (EVE) is effective and followed by (Tobin's-q) indicator in interpreting the earnings management phenomena. However, the study did not show a significant relationship between CFO, LEV Ratio, ROS, and MVA with earnings management. Based on these results, the study made many recommendations to the interested parties and the most important one is that companies must disclose the economic value added in the financial statements to enable investors and related parties to be aware of the amount of value-added that lead to increase the wealth of shareholders, and to help managers to consider all costs of capital. In addition, these indicators can be used with other indicators such as (ROA, ROE) to evaluate firm's performance.

This study attempts to inspection the efficient of using cash holdings whether is improved after setting up audit committee sound corporate governance from the perspective of reducing agency costs. We use the difference in difference method to investigate the effect of oversight of audit committee from 2007 to 2010 the company with audit committee for sample. The empirical results show that the using efficiency of cash holdings isn't promoted after setting up audit committee with all listed companies sample. We further divided the sample into the over-the-counter (OTC) market and the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) market according to the stock market feather. The empirical indicated that the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) market listed sample exhibited the effect of oversight of audit committee; however, the over-the-counter (OTC) market listed is not. It indicated that the different market structure did affect the effect of oversight of audit committee.

This paper investigates the effects of debt agency cost and equity agency cost of current and prior periods on the financing choices of long-term debts, seasoned equity offering, and private equity financings. It also examines the effects of the shareholdings of insiders on the association between both debt and equity agency costs and the choice of financing methods.
The findings show that both prior and current debt agency costs are positively related to seasoned equity offerings of current period, and both prior and current debt agency costs are positively related to private equity financing of current period regardless of whether the models consider the factor of insiders' shareholdings. As for equity agency cost, the document indicate that both current and prior equity agency costs are negatively related to current seasoned equity offerings, however, only prior equity agency costs are negatively related to current seasoned equity offerings under considering shareholdings of insiders. Moreover, the shareholdings of insiders would affect the positive association between the corporate debt agency cost and seasoned equity offerings and the positive association between the corporate equity agency cost and debt financing. 2016-04-16T04:22:44-07:00 Copyright (c) 2016 Asian Journal of Finance & Accounting http://macrothink.org/journal/index.php/ajfa/article/view/9129 Modelling and Estimation of Volatility Using ARCH/GARCH Models in Jordan's Stock Market 2016-07-02T18:02:33-07:00 Dana Mohammad AL-Najjar email@example.com
Financials have been concerned constantly with factors that have impact on both taking and assessing various financial decisions in firms. Hence modelling volatility in financial markets is one of the factors that have direct role and effect on pricing, risk and portfolio management. Therefore, this study aims to examine the volatility characteristics on Jordan's capital market that include; clustering volatility, leptokurtosis, and leverage effect. This objective can be accomplished by selecting symmetric and asymmetric models from GARCH family models. This study applies; ARCH, GARCH, and EGARCH to investigate the behavior of stock return volatility for Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) covering the period from Jan. 1 2005 through Dec.31 2014. The main findings suggest that the symmetric ARCH /GARCH models can capture characteristics of ASE, and provide more evidence for both volatility clustering and leptokurtic, whereas EGARCH output reveals no support for the existence of leverage effect in the stock returns at Amman Stock Exchange.

Corporate governance over the years has become an issue of global concern due to the 2008 economic crisis and several financial scandals and corporate failures. This has drawn the attention of policy makers, researchers, investors and regulatory institutions. Moreover, the most significant mechanism of corporate governance is board of directors. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review previous studies that examine the relationship between board attributes and firm performance, and to identify possible literature gaps. For the purpose of this review, related materials were being gathered from Emerald management e-Journals and Research Gate database. The paper synthesizes empirical findings on the relationship between selected dimensions of board attributes and firm performance. The paper identifies shortcoming of past studies and concluded by offering some avenues for future researches in this promising area of empirical research.

Using hand-collected data to obtain the nature of material information, I examine whether and how the likelihood of CEO turnover is associated with material information disclosures. I find the likelihood of CEO turnover increases following different types of material information announcements. Further, I partitioned the sample into the various stages of company life cycle in order to determine whether life cycle stage affects the relationship between the disclosure of material information and CEO turnover. The results show that the disclosure of material information by companies only in maturity and decline is associated with high CEO turnover.

The aim of our research is to investigate whether good governance is associated with higher credit rating in Japanese firms. Mainly, this research seeks for the examination of the effect of governance attributes namely those related to the board and ownership structure also quality of information on credit ratings. Empirical analyses are conducted from a sample of 75 Japanese firms listed on Topix 100, over the period 2006- 2013 using Ordered Probit regression. The study shows that good governance is associated with higher credit rating and suggests that active monitoring by independent directors and better disclosure mitigate agency conflicts and protect the interests of debtholders.

This study aims to empirically investigate the association between degree of leverages, operating and financial, and firm value in the context of India, one of big ten emerging markets (Garten, 1997). This study examines this association for 231 manufacturing firms listed in National Stock Exchange (NSE) in India over a period from 2001-2002 to 2010-2011. The independent variables, degrees of operating and financial leverage, and a market price-based dependent variable, called price-earnings ratio as a proxy of firm value, are taken to examine this relationship by using standard ordinary least square regression models at the levels of individual firm and portfolio of firms. The findings of this study show a statistically significant negative relationship between firm value and degree of operating leverage and a statistically insignificant relationship between firm value and degree of financial leverage both at the levels of individual firm and portfolio of firms. Using the data from a country like India, one of fastest growing emerging markets in the world, this study provides an important insight on the effect of leverages on the firm value, the association between independent accounting variables and stock price-based dependent variable, to the practitioners, the scholars and the finance managers.

This paper examines the effect of managers manipulated earnings management methods on the firm's financing policies and investigates the relationship between internal control, audit quality, and earnings management. We adopt the two-stage model to control self-selection of earnings management and the principal component analysis to extract the first principal component as the corporate governance. The findings show that firms choose the earning management tools in advance in year -1. Corporate governance can restrain real earnings management, but the effect decline when firms engaged in financing activities. Only the larger shareholdings of institutional investors and firms audited by industry specialist can restrain real earnings management when firms undertake financing policies. The firms of issuing bonds choose real earnings management to avoid frequent outsider monitoring. And then, it causes operating performance to decline continuously two years after bond financing. Moreover, investors don't correct the price impact of earlier earnings overstates for SEOs and bonds sample.

Booked this hotel through Hotwire for $80; Unfortunately, the basic rooms do not even have a balcony. When we checked in, we were able to upgrade to a "villa suite" for $100 more per night. This room was great. It was right by the pool, had a bedroom, living room, and huge bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. A very family friendly hotel with two pools, one being adults only. The poolside drinks are very good, very strong, and very inexpensive. An overall great place for families in Palm Springs!

Agencies now have their funding set through March 27.
On Sept. 28, President Barack Obama signed the fiscal 2013 continuing resolution (H.J.Res. 117), which provides money for projects and duties of the federal government for six months.
The CR appropriates $1.047 trillion.
For the most part, the stopgap measure keeps funding at current fiscal 2012 levels, with a few exceptions. It maintains a federal pay freeze through April and includes nearly $90 billion for the war in Afghanistan and other global military operations.
The president's signature comes two days before the end of the fiscal year.
Based on 2012 spending levels, the CR does not include any cuts that could potentially result from sequestration if that goes into effect on Jan. 3.

Help identifying a pattern??
Hello all!
I was blog surfing today, and came across this blog and scarf, which I am totally in love with... but the owner of the blog doesnt know what pattern she used for the scarf... hoping someone here might be able to help.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Looks like a short row scarf of some type..? I didn't find a pattern though. :think: It really is pretty, I'd like to have the pattern, too!
What a great pattern! Could you write directly to the blogger and ask her? I looked through my scarf books and it's not in any of these (at least it will give you a start, knowing where NOT to look:) !:
Scarf Style, Pam Allen
Vogue on the Go, Scarves book 1
Vogue on the Go, Scarves book 2
The Best of Knitters Magazine, Shawls and Scarves
Knit Ponchos, Wraps and Scarves, Davis
Simple 1-2-3, Knitting Scarves
It looks a lot like this one.
I do prefer the pink one though, very pretty.
It might be this one in garter st - http://www.wiseneedle.com/string-or-...7e96ddfa0.aspx
though the one jints posted is closer.
I had also posted this question over on Ravelry... and someone helped me identify what I think the pattern is. The photo of the WIP on Ravelry is done in blocks of color, so its a bit hard to tell. I am going to check out the book and see if in fact this is the pattern.
I think it is Stacked Wedges, from the book Knitting New Scarves, by Lynne Barr.
Thanks for all the help!
Looks like a multiple of 3 stitches (18 stitches in that pic) doing short rows increasing by 3 stitches knit on each right-side row.
IOW, K3, turn, K3
K6, turn, K6
K9, turn, K9
etc until all the stitches have been used up. Knit one row (to get to the opposite side of the scarf to alternate wedges) Then start all over again.
This is my best guess but would swatch to make sure. :p
there's a similar pattern in this book also

CARSON CITY, Nev. (December 7, 2012)--A Nevada woman ate snow and tomatoes for nearly a week and found shelter in a hollowed-out tree after she became stranded in a winter storm, but her boyfriend died trying to find help, a family member said.
The Nevada Appeal reported Friday that Paula Lane, 46, of Gardnerville is hospitalized in Carson City with frostbite after her six-night ordeal.
Her sister, Linda Hathaway, told reporters that God was looking over Lane.
Searchers found the body of Lane's boyfriend, Roderick Paul Clifton, 44, about a mile north of Burnside Lake in California's Alpine County.
The couple was reported missing after they left Citrus Heights, Calif., on Nov. 29.
Their Jeep Cherokee got stuck during a snowstorm the next morning on a dirt road near the lake.

They do this crap quite often. The Daily Show busted them trying to inflate the crowd size for a Tea Party rally in Washington, by using footage from a previous rally. You could tell the footage came from different times of the year because of the color of the leaves on the tree and the weather were different in the crowd footage compared to the actual footage.
"Dumb mistake? Fair and balanced? You be the judge."
Where is the "they do this all the time, to the point where it is probably on
purpose" option?
To be fair, I watch Fox News quite often but with all honesty, I don't
know what to think of this.
I sincerely think FNC is simply using old/similar footage as a way to
convey their coverage (or if they don't have footage of particular story).
Seriously, this occurs all the time in various medias where the
communicator uses footage/photos in an effort to visualize an event.
If the intention is in malice, then shame on them.
Faux News lies. Period. It is a mouthpiece for Rupert Murdoch and his
Republican cronies. Anybody that does not understand this (there is no
"believe" involved, it is simply understanding as neither Faux nor Murdoch
actually dispute this) should not be commenting here. They should go off
and read Marshall McLuhan "The Media is the Message" and not be posting
This is being completely overblown because the protestors have nothing legitimate to latch onto.
Here's what I think. This clip is being taken out of context. The reporter said that there are people from outside of Wisconsin who are there. Then he said that he ran into a union man who he had a confrontation with last year in California.
Then he showed the altercation with the man while he was still talking. Fox should have clarified that the footage was from California, not Wisconsin.
However given that it was palm trees and sunny in the video, and the correspondant was talking about an encounter in California, I think it falls on us smart people to decipher what is happening.
Take a chill pill, libs. You're embarrassing yourselves.
Your absolutely right. Follow the conversation and you get the point of protests happening in other towns. In the second clip you can see a sign pertaining to Indiana. The whole budget topic is hard to discuss when these stupid accusations and nitpicking issues are thrown out there.
"...I think it falls on us smart people to decipher what is happening."
MKEcath - What percentage of FOX News viewers who were watching the
telecast do you think did realize they weren't seeing footage from the
Wisconsin protests? If they weren't, to use your word "smart" enough to
decipher what was happening, what does that say about those FOX News
viewers? What does that say FOX News thinks of the smartness of their
So do only "smart people" watch Fox News? Just askin'.
"I think it falls on us smart people to decipher what is happening."
Then you should leave it to those of us who don't watch Fox 'News'.
"However given that it was palm trees and sunny in the video, and the
correspondant was talking about an encounter in California, I think it falls
on us smart people to decipher what is happening."
Yeah -- what's happening is that for all the supposed unpleasantness in
Madison for the last two weeks, Fox couldn't come up with a single clip of
anyone giving somebody a big fat shove. They had to dig deep for that
one, and it's pretty easy to decipher why they inserted that into a story
told from a reporter live in Madison.
Also on Fox in the last week, I saw a quick set of four frames as a teaser
for content after upcoming commercials. Each video image purportedly
showed protests around the country. Dominating one frame was a large
handmade sign that said, "FREE ABORTION ON DEMAND." Let's be real
here. Not only do these protests have nothing to do with that issue, it's
pretty obvious that only a plant would contrive such a ridiculous and
inflammatory message. (See some none-too-bright plans for this kind of
behavior by a one-time leading Tea Party activist:

We waited for over 45 minutes to get the shuttle from the airport to our hotel. We made three phone calls to ask where the shuttle was and were told it was on its way. When we finally arrived, we tried to upgrade our room because they were not full and were denied. We had to change rooms twice, the first time because the bed was uncomfortable the sink would not drain and the second time because the air conditioner didn't work. Hotel staff was rude and unknowledgable about the area. We asked for directions to Washington DC and they couldn't provide any maps or clear directions.

FORT BELVOIR, Va. -- More than 175 Soldiers, civilians and friends honored the loss of Spc.Thithavy T. Phommasy Friday at Belvoir Chapel. Phommasy, of San Diego, was assigned to Echo Company, 169th Engineer Battalion. He was training with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency on Fort Belvoir, died Jan. 5 of natural causes.
It is never easy to say goodbye to a brother-in-arms, however it is very easy to speak highly about someone like Spc. Phommasy," Cpt. Laura Schroeder, company commander said.
"By all accounts and anecdotes, Tony was an energetic, optimistic and enthusiastic father, husband, son and Soldier. He showed dedication, passion and commitment to everything he did, whether it was work or play, family or friends or anything in-between," Schroeder said.
"In a society where such a small percentage of the population serves their nation, as a California National Guardsman he was truly two times a citizen," Schroeder said, acknowledging his 18 years of service before becoming a student at Belvoir in October.
Staff Sgt. Jamel Jones spoke of his honesty, integrity and ability to enjoy life while putting a smile on everyone's face.
Spc. Montoriez Gray acknowledged Phommasy's wisdom and stories, for any situations. "I will try to keep those good memories with me, in the words of Spc. Phommasy, 'Buddha bless, may he be with you,' Gray said.
"My heart is saddened from losing such a great friend, said Spc. Jonathan Riggs, who appreciated Phommasy's genuineness and his ability to drop everything to brighten your day.
"He painted the picture of friendship and how to be a Soldier. He showed us that being a Soldier isn't always about who can score the highest or who can ruck the farthest. Being a Soldier is about building the bond between those of us to our left and to our right. It's about watching your friends back and picking him up in a time of need," Riggs said.
1st Sgt. Moise Danjoint then called Phomassy's name three times during the last roll call. After the ceremonial firing of volleys, "Taps" was played, and each Soldier moved silently forward for a final salute at the memorial display of an inverted rifle, helmet, boots, dog tags and Phommasy's photo.
"It is very difficult to lose someone like Spc. Phommasy, someone who always gave so much of himself to others, his family, his community, and his friends. All of whom continue to love him dearly," Schroeder said.
Phommasy was born May 18, 1971 in Laos, Cambodia and leaves behind a son, Ethan, 4, and wife, Monique.

celtics beat bulls!
By RayAllen1994DerekJeter11
over an edge-of-your-seat series versus the chicago bulls, i am growing less and less confident on the celtics having a repeat. with garnett out, the celtics are hanging in the playoffs by a thin thread. i'm glad they made it past the first round but barely. They're going to play the magic next… lets start here celtics.
Talk about this series with RayAllen1994DerekJeter11.
Bulls-Celtics Series
By dirtydave998
If you had told me last year around the time the Celtics won the NBA finals that the Bulls would take them into seven games I would have called you crazy. I know all of the Celtics fans are probably saying that it was all because Garnett was injured. I agree it probably would have been a different series with KG healthy, but that is no reason for a team with Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, and an improved Big Baby to have that kind of trouble with the Chicago Bulls. Even if Derrick Rose had 36 points in the first game and he and Ben Gordon were playing better than they had all season. The Celtics still should have done better. Read all of dirtydave998's post on the series!
It's All Over
By Baseballanderson
The defending champion Boston Celtics are moving in after beating the Bulls 109-99 at the Garden. This victory marks the end to arguably one of the greatest series of all-time with 7 overtimes and plenty of physical play. I'll start with one thing I believed was the biggest factor in the series: the clutch shooting. Ben Gordon and Ray Allen are co-Mr. April's nailing combined about 8 buzzer-beating shots. Ben Gordon is a free-agent after this series and the question is will he re-sign with the Bulls? If not he will make the big bucks after his amazing performance this series ... keep reading and weigh in!
Going down in history
Boston+Bulls= Best Series Ever?
By spartanfan4evr23
If any person has been following one series of the NBA playoffs, it has been the roller-coaster ride series of the Boston Celtics against the Chicago Bulls. Absolutely nobody expected this to reach a game 5, much less a game 7. It is arguably the most fun and competitive series ever played. There have been 7 overtime periods in 6 games, nearly doubling the NBA record, with another game to go. Every single game has brought some kind of drama, from Rajon Rondo's questionable foul against Brad Miller in Game 5, to Paul Pierce hitting every kind of clutch shot possible in the last seconds of every game.

Celtics-Bulls: Best Series Ever?
By chibears1223
I don't know why, but I'm not as shocked about the 3OT thriller last night. It's hard to be when there has been 7 total overtimes in this series. I can't even remember which games had overtimes and which didn't. The games are so close together that I never get time to just let it all settle in. I fell asleep and when I woke up, it was in the 2nd overtime. When it came to being 3 overtimes, I was like "Okay whatever." It stinks that I was so tired and exhausted because I wasn't really able to enjoy the game. I wanted to see who won so I was yelling at the t.v. for the Bulls to finish it out or trying to tell the Celtics to just give up. Let me tell ya, it was quite a moment. Never mess with a tired teenage girl, that's all I have to say! I'm glad that the game's on Saturday so it won't be a school day and I can sleep in and be able to have fun watching the game. Do you think it was the best series ever? Where does this series rank for you?
The 2 Best Games
By shadeking13
I believe the two best games this year are the NCAA record overtime game involving the Oranges and the Bos-Ch-playoff game. The Bulls-Celtics game feels like a nba final What did you think of the games? Best of the year?

Brandon firefighter charged with arson; fraudSeptember 05,2013BRANDON A town firefighter is facing criminal charges after Brandon Police say he set his own car on fire in an effort to defraud his insurance company.
Jeremiah M. Shaw, 31, of Brandon, has been issued a criminal citation to appear in Rutland criminal court in October to answer to charges of arson, burning to defraud and insurance fraud.
Brandon Police were called at 11 p.m. on Aug. 12 to a car fire on Route 7 near the intersection of Wood Lane in town for a reported car fire.
At the scene, Shaw told police he was driving when he noticed flames in the back of the vehicle and pulled over. Before fire crews arrived, the car was fully engulfed in flames.
Further investigation by police in town and the Vermont State Police Arson Unit indicated that the fire didnt start in the manner that Shaw described.
Police say he later confessed to burning the vehicle to obtain insurance money.
Brandon Fire Chief Roman Wdowiak said Wednesday that his department was cooperating with police and had taken appropriate steps in accordance with the law regarding Shaws status at the fire department. He did not say explicitly whether Shaw remained an active member of the department.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

SOURCE: McColley, Diane Kelsey. "Shapes of Things Divine: Eve, Myth, and Dream." In Milton's Eve, pp. 63-109. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1983.
In this excerpt, Colley examines the scene in which Eve observes herself in the pool after her creation. Colley disputes interpretations that view Eve's actions as a narcissistic impulse, instead maintaining that the scene asserts Eve's free will.
"answering Looks"
The allusion to pagan fable that most haunts views of Milton's Eve is her Narcissus-like behavior when, fresh from her Creator's hand, she pauses at the verge of the mirror lake attracted by her own reflection and has to be called twice: first by God, who leads her to Adam, and then, as she starts back toward the softer beauty of the face in the lake, by Adam himself. Scholars have often noted echoes from Ovid's tale of...

Large-scale scientific projects have become a major impetus of scientific advances. But few studies have specifically analyzed how those projects bolster scientific research. We address this question from a scientometrics perspective. By analyzing the bibliographic records of papers relevant to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we found that the SDSS helped scientists from many countries further develop their own research; investigators initially formed large research groups to tackle key problems, while later papers involved fewer authors; and the number of research topics increased but the diversity of topics remains stable. Furthermore, the entropy analysis method has proven valuable in terms of analyzing patterns of research topics at a macroscopic level.

This paper is focused on low-complexity joint-detection (JD) algorithms, where the computational complexity is reduced using banks of discrete Fourier transformations. Mainly, we have developed a fast hybrid zero-forcing block decision-feedback equalizer (H-ZF-BDFE) combining the Fourier-based JD scheme (IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun., vol. 19, p. 1461, 2001) with the fast decision-feedback structure (F-ZF-BDFE) IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun., vol. 19, p. 245, 2001. In a Rayleigh frequency-selective fading channel, the new structure yields an improvement in Eb/N0 of almost 2 dB against the fast block linear equalizer (BLE) (IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun., vol. 19, p. 1461, 2001) at a bit error rate (BER)=10-3. Moreover, it has the same performance as the F-ZF-BDFE, but the computational complexity for the signal processing is reduced by almost 50%.

City kids learn to do while growing FarmWise

The day starts with songs.
And those songs are sometimes in foreign languages.
But the 23 kids, ages ranging from 4 to 14, don't mind. Sitting on chairs, a well-worn sofa or on rocking chair's in Bente Goldstein's living room, the children rock, sway, tap their toes or even stomp their feet to the rhythms of songs in Swahili, Norwegian and the pidgin English of the Caribbean.
Songs lift the spirit, said Goldstein.
Gray-haired and grandmotherly, she speaks and sings with a Scandinavian accent (she is Norwegian by birth), is attentive to the children and they seem very comfortable with her.
These aren't just farm songs. There's a paean to the Great Lakes, a song about a Norwegian farmer in Telemark, a Bahamanian rhumba and a song about a mother's savage daughter who runs barefoot, laughs too loud and howls at the moon.
A grand piano fills a corner of the room and it's covered with sheet music.

It's a Friday, the fifth day of one of Goldstein's FarmWise summer camp programs. The kids have been singing these songs for four days, and they pretty much got their choral chops down.
On this afternoon they'll sing these same songs for their parents.
But this isn't a music camp.
About an hour later the youngsters move from chorus to chores.
Goldstein's husband, Walter, is head of the Mandaamin Institute in the town of Lyons. Walter, through Mandaamin, is researching varieties of naturally-bred corn, some with enhanced nutrition, some with the ability to grow during drought or in poor soils.
'Hobby farm'
The Goldsteins own a 35-acre "hobby farm" in rural Elkhorn, about 10 miles north of Lake Geneva on Kniep Road.
Walter, who stopped by in the afternoon, said he was impressed with the impression FarmWise was having on the children who attend the camp.
"It's the look on the kids' faces," he said. "It's like they got hit by a bolt from the blue. They've had their eyes opened to life."
Bente Goldstein is trained in the Waldorf method of teaching and has taught at Waldorf schools. She and some of her colleagues developed a farm-based education system, she said. She's been doing farm-based education for at least the past 14 years, she said.
The Waldorf method of teaching involves hands-on learning, Goldstein tells a visitor. She said first graders in Waldorf schools are taught knitting, which combines learning, planning and hands-on application.
And hands on is what the youngsters learn at the FarmWise summer camp.
The program introduces children, most who come from urban households, into the lifestyle and work ethic of the traditional Midwestern American farm.
The children learn by doing everything themselves.
Goldstein calls it "an I can experience."
And the youngsters are carefully coached and watched by a staff of three, Goldstein, Maggy Rhein, Missouri and Emily June Breffle, Colorado. Also there to help out was Ben Goldstein, the Goldsteins' oldest son, who had brought his son Louis to the FarmWise camp.
Campers 12 and older with three years of summer camp under their belts can be helpers, Goldstein said. Mira, 14, and Hazel, 13, both of Milwaukee, were official helpers.
Nora, 10, of Chicago, who is in her fourth year as a camper is an unofficial helper.
"I don't live near any farms and I really like farms," Nora said. "I like doing farm work."
Livestock and farm pets are tended daily.
A chance to do
It's important that children get a chance to do, and to sometimes fail, Goldstein said. And the failing part is important, she said. Children need to learn that there are consequences, she said.
A knot slips open and suddenly a sheep darts for freedom and has to be chased down.
Or, a chicken winds up a meal for coyotes because it was accidentally locked out of the hen house.
And not every chore is pleasant. Everywhere there is the richly aromatic offal of farm animals.
Poop is a part of life, Goldstein said. And it's important for the health of the animals and the humans that the droppings are cleaned up and properly deposited.
As Ben Goldstein put it, mucking out a barn or stable is a way of thinking of the animals' comfort.
"If you were a cow, you wouldn't want all those flies buzzing about, would you?" he asked, as he and Evan, 10, of Waukesha, scraped shovels along the floor of the milking barn and then depositing their shovel loads into a pile, which will later become fertilizer.
Farm-born musicians
Ben is a professional musician, a violist, living in Norway with dual American and Norwegian citizenship.
His two brothers, Hans of Los Angeles and Elias, who lives in Indiana, are professional musicians. All three were raised on the Goldstein farm. Asked how their farm-loving parents produced three professional musicians, Ben said the decision was a practical one. Practicing their music allowed the brothers to skip some chores.
Teacher Emily June Breffle, from Colorado, showed youngsters how to handle a folding pruning saw, with plenty of warnings and directions to keep fingers and limbs from the cutting edge of the blade. Each child opens and closes the saw once. And then each makes a few cuts into a green branch for practice under Breffle's watchful eye.
"The point is to get the kids to feel they could run the farm themselves," Goldstein said. "How do they know they can do it, unless they do it?"
The rules are simple. Everyone tries everything at least once. Even the food. One mouthful is considered a try.
Pizza day
Friday is pizza day, and FarmWise cook and chef, Julie Drigot of Little Prairie, also a Waldorf-trained teacher, makes the pizzas in a modern, electric stove. Having worked as a docent at Old World Wisconsin in Eagle, Drigot said she knew what it was like to build her own cooking fire.
"It's quite an experience," she said.
Goldstein also mentions that modern technology is wonderful, as long as we don't let technology obscure who we are as people.
At 2:30 p.m., after the chores, the snack, lunch and another music practice, parents begin to arrive for their youngsters' farewell-to-the-farm performance.
Before they officially leave, each child is given a diploma, and Goldstein had a kind word and compliment for each one.
Outside, as they prepared to leave, parents said their children loved the camp.
Rich Hill said that his job as a consultant has nothing to do with farming or rural life. He said he and his wife, Lynn, believed their children, Nora and Ezra, 12, weren't experiencing everything there was to life.
"It gets kids to know the land and what farming is all about," Hill said. "And Bente is a pied piper with the kids. It's well worth it."
The Hills and another Illinois family, the Abends, stayed at Timber Ridge Lodge, Lake Geneva, while their children attended camp.
"We're all from an agricultural background," said Robin Abend of Wheaton, mother of Kyle, 11. She said she heard stories of farm life from her grandparents. She wanted her kids to "dip their toes" into the farm lifestyle, even if it is for just a short while.

- pretty good fit... tight ankles Review by DaveC
These fit pretty well. Low rise at the crotch but good for a base layer. The XLs are the right length for me.
the only slight negative is that the ankle holes are small. Not terribly so but they were at max stretch going over my instep/heel.
That is not a killer defect (unlike the top where the top wouldn't go over my hands) but just beware of the problem if you have extra big feet.
