NEW YORK (Feb. 24)
PEC Israel Economic Corporation, which announced today that it has completed 40 years of operation, sent its 1965 annual report to 11, 000 stockholders in the United States, highlighting PEC's "profound contribution to the economic philosophy of Israel by establishing the importance of the role of private enterprise as a factor of development."
Dividends of almost $8, 500, 000 in cash and stock have been distributed by PEC during these 40 years, it was announced, with 80 percent of this sum paid out during the last 10 years. The 1965 dividend of 80 cents per common share was paid on February 15. Net earnings after taxes in 1965 were $1, 086, 102, equal to $1. 28 per share on the average number of shares outstanding during the year, compared with $1, 183, 768 or $1. 49 per share the year before. The number of shares outstanding at the end of 1965 was 910, 770, compared with 750, 173 at the end of 1964.
Last year PEC invested $3, 375, 000 in Israeli enterprises. Further investments of approximately $3, 000, 000 have been authorized or are under review for execution in 1966.

Mudassar Kazi�sits in�the students canteen�at�the Maharashtra College in the�Muslim-dominated Nagpada area in south-central Mumbai and tries to explain to his classmates�that the United States of America is not a�demon as portrayed in some sections of the Indian Muslim community.
Counters�Zaheeruddin Khan,�"You are brainwashed after one visit to their country. The US attacks only Muslim countries. They never attack European countries. They are against Islam and our culture."�
Asks�another classmate Mohammad Irfan, "Why are you teaching us the virtues of that country when the fact is that they are only interested in harming the Muslim cause? Be it in Palestine, Afghanistan or Iraq. Why did they invite�you free of cost to their country? If they are calling you�there that means they have done something wrong, isn't it?"�
Says Mudassar, "I feel frustrated after coming from there (the US). I thought I could change so many things in the Muslim community.�One week after my visit I am unable to change how�my�friends think. I have told�them the Bush administration is wrong, but not the�American people who have�got nothing to do with US�foreign policy. But no one is willing to understand. I am not pro-American, but my friends tell me�I have�sold out to the US cause."
Mudassar is not alone.
Like him, Akbar Ansari,�another Muslim student who traveled to the US last month, is unable to convince�his friends.
Twenty-one Muslims from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh traveled to America�on a study trip�to understand�the US government and its people better.�During the month-long�programme, sponsored by the US State Department, 12 girls and nine boys�travelled to New York, Washington, DC and Philadelphia.
The State Department�conceived the programme�after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to improve the understanding of America among young Muslims.
The 21 South Asians met American Muslim preachers, college students,�city mayors and�former president Bill Clinton among others.
India was represented by�seven Muslim students;�three�from Mumbai, two from Delhi, one each from Chennai and Hyderabad.
Says Akbar,�"I have�been anti-American all my life.�After going�there I realised�common Americans are ignorant about Muslims and Islam. They have no idea what Islam stands for. They associate Islam�only with jihad and terrorism. This visit has made me realise the�American perspective and their lifestyle."�
Asked how his perception about America has changed, he says, "I feel� President Bush has�wrong advisers and his policies are against Muslim countries. I realised that many Americans I met have never agreed with the Bush doctrine. It is just like in India. Many Hindus may�agree with the BJP, but there are many more who do�not agree with the BJP's policies."
Adds Mudassar, "We met many maulvis and Muslims and found�they had complete freedom in US. They were not harmed after 9/11 because the police gave them full protection. They had their rights protected under the US Constitution and�were treated equally with other citizens on any issue."
Asked what�it was like to interact with�students from�Bangladesh and Pakistan, Akbar says, "We discussed�the Kashmir issue. We became great friends and�chat�on the Internet after our visit. They are just like us. I don't understand what�the need to fight is when we can resolve all issues through talks. Even when we met�Clinton he told us�we are the future of South Asia and�should resolve the Kashmir problem."
Have�their�Bangladeshi and Pakistani�friends�encountered�an�understanding gap as they did�after�their US visit?�Says Akbar, "My friend Omar from Lahore�faces�the same problem as we�face�here. He said�no one�is willing to believe that the American people can be good to Muslims."

The heart of Christian Science is Love. It's about feeling God's goodness. It's based on the Bible and is explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy. It addresses major points about God, good and evil, life and death, sacrament, salvation, and more. Christian Science encourages people to see things from a spiritual perspective, as Jesus taught. Jesus said, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also…" (John 14:12). Mary Baker Eddy said, "these mighty works are not supernatural, but supremely natural…" (Science and Health, p.xi:14). This can mean resolving difficult challenges with health, relationships, employment, and so on through prayer, although people who practice Christian Science are free to make their own choices about what to think and do in each situation, including health care.

In May I had Juvederm injected into my lips. There was some initial swelling, which subsided in a few days. Since then I've had no swelling or pain. Now, more than a month later my top lip is suddenly swollen, and gotten progressively worse as the day has progressed. I have recently found out that the person who injected me was not a doctor, even though he told me he is and his business card said he's a doctor (cosmetic dermatology). Please tell me what you think this could be.
Sudden Lip Swelling More Than a Month After Juvederm Injection? (photo)
Doctor Answers 9
Sudden swelling a month after lip juvederm
Thank you for your question about your lip swelling after Juvederm.
- The usual cause of late lip swelling like yours is a viral infection of the lips,
- But who knows what was used if a fake doctor lies to you.
- Fake doctors can't buy FDA approved Juvederm.
- See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist for evaluation,
- Get records from the phony doctor, proof that he isn't a doctor and write to the State Medical Board enclosing copies to protect others. Sorry about this. Hope this helps.
See a doctor as soon as possible

Juvederm to lips and side effects
It looks as though you've had a reaction, either bacterial, viral, or allergic. I would highly advise second opinion consult as soon as possible to address the issue. I wish you the best.

Swelling a month post injection
Sounds awful. I'm sorry. It's difficult to fully assess the situation due to the lack of credibility of the Dr and office. Get your records. I recommend a consult with a new, Board Certified, experienced physician in your area. I wish you the best.
Bad result from lip injections
Your lips do look like a mess. If you were injected with Juvederm then an injection with Wydase will almost immediately melt it away. At this point you need to rule out a viral infection or injection with some different type of product.
Fake Dostors......They exist so BEWARE
You have one of several problems. Biofilm which means infection. Viral infection or bacterial infection is possible. Possibly you have received a fake substance that is not Juvederm. There are various compounds used over seas that can produce mucosal hypertrophy and this requires surgical correction. You need to have a biopsy to see what was injected. You need to report this to Allergen and to your local medical society and your State Medical Board. You need to be under the care of an ABPS_FACS surgeon who determines exactly what is going on and offer appropriate treatment. The first order is diagnosis. With good care you will be fine. My Best, Dr C

Fake fillers
You have a major problem. We do not know what you were injected with. I have seen a patient injected with " silicone calking' and " motor oil". If your injector is not a doctor, and you are sure of that, Dr. morgan is right, file an urgent complaint with the state medical board, and the police department, practicing medicine without a license. If they get the person you may have a chance of knowing what is the material you were injected with. Find a plastic surgeon and you may need multiple modalities of treatments including surgery. Remember any body with an M. D. after their name can claim to be an expert injector.
Injections done by a "fake" doctor
You could have a viral infection, so seek advice from a legitimate, licensed physician. That being said, I don't even know if what you had is Juvederm, as Juvederm can only be sold to physicians with proper licenses. You need to report this to the medical board as well.
Delayed swelling after Juvederm
I would recommend you see a medical dermatologist to evaluate the lip swelling immediately, particularly if there are other accompanying symptoms (shortness of breath) etc. Did you start using any new products in the past few days?
Regarding the "doctor" who injected you. This is concerning. People sometimes mislead patients by stating they are a doctor but are not a MD physician who underwent medical school and a residency. There are non-physicians who call themselves doctors including nurse practitioners who have a doctorate degree but are not physicians who have completed medical school and a residency. Make sure you know the credentials of anyone who is doing something as important as dealing with the skin on your face.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

I was wondering if someone might know how safe or unsafe this is. I took our bathroom light off the wall and this is what I found behind it! The wires are pulled through the drywall!
Any help would be appreciated.
For some reason 90% of the builders are doing this and it is being passed. They don't like to spend the extra $1 for a box. I suggest you add one that way it's a lot safer.
It looks as though there is no electrical box in the wall itself. Not the way to do things for sure!
You can do a couple things here Sandra.
One is to buy a "pancake box" which is a 1/2" deep mountable box that would screw to the wall - on a stud is best- but if not use drywall anchors to secure it. Pull the wires thru first and mount your fixture to that.
Second is to cut a hole to fit a standard octagon box and mount it in the wall. Pull your wires thru and mount your fixture. Patch the drywall as required, prime and paint.
If the hole you want to cut is between studs, try and fit a block between them and screw or nail to studs and mount the box to that. This may be a larger drywall repair as the hole may need to be significant to achieve the best in terms of the electrical and the best finished product after the patching.
Post an add in the projects section and I am sure a contractor or handyman can take care of this from your area.

HI Sandra,
Yes this is not the best thing and yes its very common for builders, but it is legal by code because of the type of light that was installed by the builder... most bathroom strip lights and those awful florescent lights that you see in garages and commercial buildings are not required to have a box because the connection is enclosed in the light itself and its usually mounted with drywall plugs or to the stud.
But in answer to your question I would definitely recommend that you install a solid octagon box in the wall so that you can affix whatever type of light you want there in the future and not worry about safety.
Jeremy Doucette
JD Reno
As mentioned previously, there are reasons for wiring like this and yes it is common depending on the light fixture previously installed. Most strip lights only require a connector, not a box as the boxes are sometimes larger than lights.
You can call in a pro or DIY guy if you are uncomfortable taking this task on yourself. Buy an octagon box and run the wires through the clamp and don't over tighten it. Screw it to the nearest stud leaving 1/8 space from the box to the finished surface of the drywall. If you need it more centered, you'll have to add some wood in the wall, but 90% of the time the plumbers hog all the center wall space for their vent stacks going back to not using a box.
What type of fixture do you plan on installing?
In Alberta this is the most common way it is done for bathroom lights. Using a box is always better. The reason it is done this way is so the electrician can adjust the light once the cabinets are installed. Quite often people either change their mind on the light or the cabinet and the electrician does not have a lighting list at the rough in stage. They could use a renovation box when they go to install the light. It is probably the way to go now.
Hi Sandra
I tend to agree with what has been said, except the portion of 'having a box is better'. What determines if you need a box is the style of light fixture you want there. As mentioned by others, many bar type fixtures are not wide enough to cover a standard four inch electrical box. In addition the fixture is rated as a 'box', so you would be putting a 'box' on a 'box', not very practical.
There is nothing unsafe about putting a cable directly into the fixture provided it is properly done with a connector and the fixture is rated for that type of installation. Likewise there is nothing that makes using a box safer unless it is needed for that style of light fixture.
Hope this makes sense to you.

Thanks for the replies, you've all been really helpful.
This is a great site with a lot of great contractors.
Hello Sandra,
My suggestion would be to hire a Licensed electrician. Have the new light fixture with you when he comes over and he will put in a new box and install you're new fixture all at the same time.
Hope this helps.
Rene Rozon
Hi Sandra,
Having the wire as shown in your fixture is safe and acceptable according to code, as long as the proper fixture was previously attached and the installation/connection was done properly. Depending on your new fixture, you may or may not need to install an octagon box.
The project is fairly simple but if you need questions answered, I'm sure a couple of post would give you the answers that you are looking for.

Worship How-To
Robb Redman, the former director of the D. Min. program at Fuller Theological Seminary, argues that American Christianity is in the midst of a "worship awakening." In The Great Worship Awakening: Singing a New Song in the Postmodern Church, Redman argues that the shift is best seen in the popularity of seeker services, the "praise and worship" movement, the growth of the Christian worship industry and the renaissance of liturgical traditions. Redman traces demographic changes to understand why worship has taken on new significance, pointing to increasing ethnic diversity and inter-generational dynamics. This is not the most sophisticated book on changes in American Christian worship practices; recent contributions by Robert Webber and Leonard Sweet have hit the mark more forcefully. However, it is a competent and resourceful overview. (Jossey-Bass, $19.95 236p ISBN 0-7879-5126-9; Oct.)
In 1874, the evangelist Charles G. Finney gave a controversial series of lectures to divinity students on revivals of religion. Finney endured a great deal of criticism for saying that Christian revival could be humanly engineered; it was not necessary to wait for God to fan the flames of revival. Rather, it was required of Christian believers to actively seek opportunities to create revival and convert unbelievers. Pat Robertson's Six Steps to Christian Revival: God's Awesome Power in Your Life certainly follows in Finney's footsteps ideologically, albeit not as ambitiously: It focuses more on personal, inner renewal than mass revivals or crusades. Robertson's six steps—humble yourself, pray, seek God's face, turn from sin, gather in prayer and persevere—are classic, and his short book is very solidly based on the Bible, although the prose is not very energetic. (Multnomah, $9.99 paper 96p ISBN 1-59052-055-6; Oct.)
What's New in Judaism Books
It was inevitable that amid the explosion of Kabbalah-related books in the last five years, some would be done devotional-style, aimed to bring the puzzles of Judaism's most mystical text to readers in digestible, bite-sized daily doses. But in Kabbalah Month by Month: A Year of Spiritual Practice and Personal Transformation, Mindy Ribner gives readers a fairly thoughtful and perceptive interpretation. What sets this book apart from most others that explore Kabbalah for the hoi polloi is that it is firmly and stubbornly rooted in Jewish tradition. Some may not agree with Ribner's explanations of some Jewish traditions, or her investigations of astrology, but they will appreciate the fact that she has not sought to divorce Kabbalah from its religious roots. The book is beautifully designed in a square paperback format. (Jossey-Bass, $22.95 paper 352p ISBN 0-7879-6152-3; Oct.)
In 1989, The Encyclopedia of Judaism set a high standard for Jewish reference works and was selected as an Outstanding Reference Book by the American Library Association. But in The New Encyclopedia of Judaism, a good work has been made even better; the original thousand entries have been updated and 250 new ones added. As with the first edition, the one-volume resource has hundreds of illustrations, contributions from scholars from all major branches of Judaism and a strong annotated bibliography. (NYU Press, $99.95 [$79.95 until January 2003] 856p ISBN 0-8147-9388-6; Oct. 16)
Calligraphy and Poetry
Shambhala, which has been broadening its line to include classics of Western as well as Eastern spirituality, offers a beautiful new series merging spiritual poetry and the art of calligraphy. In Canticle of the Sun: The Spirit of Francis of Assisi, the saint's prayers and excerpts from writings about him are complemented by facing-page calligraphy in bold colors. Alongside Francis's prayers of gratitude for Sister Moon, Brother Wind and Sister Water, for example, are the corresponding Latin praises, beautifully rendered by calligrapher Frank Missant. ($12.95 paper 64p ISBN 1-57062-980-3; Oct.)
Among the other three volumes in Shambhala's series is Perfect Harmony: Sufi Poetry of Ibn 'Arabi, which pairs the poetry of the 13th-century Sufi mystic with contemporary calligraphy by Hassan Massoudy. In a moving afterword, Massoudy explains how he became involved in calligraphy as a child, and how his work is inspired by poetry. ($12.95 paper 64p ISBN 1-57602-981-1; Oct.)

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi Welcome to JustAnswer. My first response will follow shortly. Please feel free to follow up if anything is not clear
Is this money from income in the US but held in New Zealand?
No. It was all money I made from working here in Thailand. But US tax law does not care about that. They want 25% of the account at Forsyth Barr and 35% of any of the bank accounts (highest balance in any year) plus any interset and gains.
So will the US IRS find the money in New Zealand at Forsyth or not? Or should I just close the account and put it inot real estate or precious metals? It is alot of monwy to pay them
I am sorry (typo) they want 25% of everything not reported overseas.
So the remaining monies at Forsyth will have to go to pay them. About 50% of it. Not a small amount. I am ready to file it but just thought I would ask a legal opinion.
They tell me that there is no capital gains (or losses) on my stocks in New Zealand and they always take out any tax on interest and dividends for New Zealand tax people. So I should not have a problem with the NZ tax people? BUT the problem is with the USA tax people.

"the supreme court settling the point for all the circuits and dis'tricts. Without regard to my individual views, I think I ought to adhere to the construction put upon the statute so long ago by the circuit judge for thi$ circuit, and which, so far as I am advised, has prevailed here ever since. Counsel for plaintiff, however, further rely upon an act of congress passed August 3, ;1892 (27 Stat. 347), in respect to the mileage to be allowed jurors and witnesses in certain states, including California,.and in certain territories, which reads:
"That jurors and. witnesael:l in United States courts in the states of Wyoming, ,Montana, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho and Colorado·. and in the territoriesbf New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, shall be. entitled to and receive fifteen cents for each mile necessarily traveled over any stage line or by private conveyance, and five cents for each mile over any railway in going to and ,returning from said courts; provided, that no confees shall be allowed by reason of any person structive ,or double being summoned both'ai! witness and. juror, or as witness in two or more cases pending in the same court and triable at the same term thereof."
This. ,statute doeElnot undertake to declare the circumstances under,which the feesQf witnesses may be taxed as costs. Indeed, it does nO,tprovide for a witness fee at all, but only provides a special rule in respect to the amount of mileage to which witand jurors shall be entitled in the, states and territories therein named. The fees of witnesses, for their services as .such, and the circumstances under which they are legally entitled to any compensation as witnesses, remain provided for by sections 823 and 848 .of ,the Revised Statutes. The mileage allowed by the act of August 3,,1892, to witnesses is manifestly to witnesses who by law are to witness fees. It was never intended to allow it to one toa witness fee. Following, therefore, the constructioJ},.placedin this circuit upon sections 823 and 848 of the Revised Statutes, it is clear that the provisions of .the act of August 3, 1892, are insufficie;nt upon which to base the allowance of the fees of the witnesses in question. That the charge for maps necessarily introduced in evidence in the trial of the case was a proper one was decided by this court in the case ofRewitt v. Story.1 An order will be entered in accordance with these views.

Galpin, of counsel), for plaintiff in error. Joseph D. Redding (W. H. L. Barnes, of counsel), for defendants in error. Before GILBERT, Circuit Judge, and ROSS and HANFORD, District Judges. ROSS, District Judge. On July 28, 1891, the defendant in error delivered for transmission to the plaintiff in error, at its San Francisco office, the following telegram: "C. W. Gammon, Walnut Grove: Don't buy any more pears. Selling east one twenty-five." The message was sent by the company's main line to Sacramento, and from there, by a branch wire, to Walnut Grove, which is a station on the Sacramento river, in Sacramento county. The message was promptly transmitted and delivered as written, except that the word "pears" was changed to the word "peaches." For the transmission and delivery of the telegram, tbe defendants in error paid, and the company received, 25 cents; and acting upon the telegram, as delivered to him, Gammon, who was an employe of the defendants in error engaged in buying fruits, continued to buy pears, to the amount of 4,968 boxes, upon which the proof showed defendants in error lost $4,513.60, for wbich they recovered a verdict in the court below, upon which, with costs, a judgment was entered against the company. The case is brought here by writ of error, and the only questions presented for consideration relate to tbe action of the trial court in giving and refusing to give certain instructions to the jury. v.61F.no.6-40
The ievideU(le showM that question WIUl, written by the, in error upon l:j. printed form prepared by the company, which contained the following terms and conditions, among others :
"Tog'llard against mistakes or delays, the sender of a message should order ,it repeated; is, telegraphed back to the originating office for comparison. For this, olle.half the regular rate is charged in addition. It is agreed between the"seuder of the following message and this company that said company be liable for mistakes or delays in the transmission and delivery', or fOr nondelivery, of any unrepeated message, whether happening by negligence of its servants or otherwise, beyond the amount received for same; nor for mistakes or delays in the transmissiOn or delivery, or fOr J)Ondelivery, of any unrepeated message, beyond fifty times ·the sum received}or sending the same, unless specially insured; nor, in any case, for delaysatisIn.g from unavoidable interruption in the working of its lines, or for errol,'s in clPher or obscure messages. · · ...
ThecQul't below instructed the jury:.
of signing sending of said dispatch, knew,. or had ample means of knowing, the terms, printed on said dispatch, and agreed to said terms, and the message 'in question was not directed by the plaintiffs to be repeated, and the defendant used suitable instruments and machines, employed skillful operatol;s, in the of said message, used ordinary care and were not guilty of any actual or wlllful neglige,nce in the premises, then Jhe plaintiffs cannot recover anything beyond: the price paid for the message, and interest thereon. If, on the other hand, you believe from the evidellce that the mistake made in this dispatch was due to the gross negligence of the defendant, either in not providing suitable instruments and lines, and, competent operators, 01' to the gross negligence of the operator who sent the dispatch, or who received it at Walnut Grove, which shows a want of the care required by law, and that that negligence was gross, then the plaintiffs may have a verdict for the amount of damages actually sustained by them,-theiamount which I have already given. If you believe from the evidence that the plaintiffs have shown that they paid for, and sent by the lines of the defendant corporation, a message which was delivered by the agent of the defendant to the agent of the plaintiffs at Walnut Grove, and which telegram, when delivered, was not in the words given to the defendant, and paid for, to be sent, and if you further believe from the evidence that thereby the plaintiffs have .suffered loss, then the burden of proof is on the defendaJ)t to show that it was not guilty of willful misconduct or gross negligence in sending and delivering said telegram as it did. And if the jury . believe from the eVidence that the defendant has not shown that it was not guUty ot such conduct or such negligence, in the transmission and delivery of such mess/l.ge, then the jury must find'a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for the amount of the losswbich the evidence shows the plaintiffs have sustained in the premises."
"If you further believe from the evidence that the plaintiffs, at the time
By the last instruction quoted, the jury was told, in substance, that the delivery of the telegram in its altered form threw the burden upon the company of proving that the mistake was not occasioned by its willful misconduct or gross negligence, in order to prevent a recovery by tQe then plaintiffs of the damages actually sustained by them. Undoubtedly, proof of the delivery of the telegram in a form different from that in which it was sent was prima facie proof of negligence. Rittenhouse v. Telegraph Line, 44 N. Y. 263; Baldwin v. Telegraph Co., 45 N. Y. 744; Bartlett v. Telegraph 00., Telegraph Co.v. Carew, 15 Mica 525; Telegraph 00. v. Tyler, 74 TIL 168; Sweatlandv. Telegraph Co., 27 Iowa, 433;

And, but for the stipulation in respect to the repetition' of the message, proof of its delivery in the altered form would have thrown upon the com· pany the burden of showing that the mistake was not occasioned by any fault or negligence on its part, or on the part of any of its agents, in order to escape responsibility for the actual damages caused by the mistake. But it is just as clear" we think, that if the stipulation limiting the responsibility of the company, unless the message be repeated, to the amount paid for sending it, be valid to any extent, and the presumption of negligence raised by proof of the delivery of the telegram in its changed form be overcome by proof on the part of the company that it exercised the requisite degree of care and diligence in the transmission and de· livery of the telegram, the burden would then be cast on the party seeking to recover the actual damages sustained to prove the facts upon which the company's additional liability arises. It is im· portant, therefore, to inquire as to the validity of the stipulation purporting to limit the liability of the company to the amount paid for sending the telegram, unless the sender directs, and pays for, its repetition. In Oalifornia, it is declared by statute that a telegraph company is not a common carrier, and the degree of care and diligence exacted of such a company is "great care and diligence." Section 2162 of the Oivil Oode of Oalifornia provides:
"A carrier of messages for reward must use great care and diligence in the transmission and delivery of messages."
And section 2168 of the same Oode is as follows:
"Every person who offers to the public to carry persons, property, or messages, excepting only telegraph messages, is a common carrier of whatever he thus offers to carry."
After referring to these provisions of the state statute, the supreme court of Oalifornia, in the case of Hart v. Telegraph Co., 66 Cal 579, 6 Pac. 637, said:
"If great care and diligence-which terms, of course, include the employment of proper instruments and competent operators-be exercised by the company in the transmission and delivery of a message, the degree of care prescribed by the statute is complied with."
The court further held in that case that a similar stipulation to that involved in the present case is a reasonable precaution to be taken by the company, and binding upon all who assent to it, so as to exempt the company from liability beyond the amount stipulated, for any cause except willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the company, and, further, that, in an action to recover damages beyond the amount stipulated, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to show such willful misconduct or gross negligence.
'FllJ1>'ERAL REPORTER (vol.
on'thepart of the plaintifr iIi tn the' present case this courti$b6und to follow the ruling of the highest courtofOalifornia in these respects. It is declared by section 721 of the Revised Statutes that:
"The laws of the several states, except where the constitution, treaties, or statutes of the United States otherwise require or provide, shall be regarded as rules·of decision in trials at common law in the courts of the United States in cases wpere they apply."
Tbisstatute has been many times under consideration by the supreme· court. One of the latest cases in which it was discussed is Railroad 00. v. Baugh, 149 U. S. 368, 13 Sup. Ct. 914, in which manyot the earlier cases are referred to. The rule is th&t if the matter in question be one of general law, unaffected by statute, the federaIcourts, while leaning towards an agreement with the state eourts, must exercise an independent judgment. If of local law, the decisions of the highest court of the state.in which the question arises will be followed, without regard to the views of thE' federal court. No one questions that this· is so to the extent that the rights of tlte ,parties to this suit depend upon the provisions of the state statute cited, and the effect to be attributed to them. It is said,ltowever, for the defendants in errol', that the statute of OalifornJa in no respect fixes the measure of. liability, or where the burden of proof rests. It is true it is silent in respect to the burden of proof, but it does declare that telegraph companies are notcon;lInon carriers, and further fixes the degree of care that they shall exercise as "great care and diligence." This is obviously the measure of their liability under that statute. Every telegraph c()mpany that operates within the limits of the .state of Oalifornia does so without the liabilities imposed by law upon common carriers, for the statute of the state says, in effect, that such ,companies shall not be here so regarded, but is liable for "great care and diligence" in the transmission and delivery of messages, for the same reason, namely, because the state statute so declares. The words "great care and diligence" the supreme court of the state said in Hart v. Telegraph 00./ supra, "of course, include the employment of proper instruments and competent operators;" and the court there further decided that, if great care and diligence ''be exercised by the company in the transmission and delivery of a messll;ge, the degree of care prescribed by the statute is complied with." The meaning and effect of that statute, as declared by the highest court of the state, is, by force of section 721 of the Revised Statutes, and upon well-settled principles, binding upon this court; but not so upon points depending upon general prindplesof law, within which category comes the question as to the validity Of the contract exempting the company from liability beyond the amount paid for the telegram unless the sender orders, and pays for, its repetition. In the decisions of the courts of the various states there is much conflict upon that question, some holding that such a stipulation is without consideration, and also void because against public policy; others, that, while not altogether invalid, it ought not to be held to exonerate the company from
damages caused by defective instruments, or a want of skill or ordinary care on the partof its operators; and others, still, that it is a reasonable precaution, and binding upon all who assent to it, so as to exempt the company from liability beyond the amount stipulated ror any cause except willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the company. :Many of the cases will be found referred to in Hart v. Telegraph Co., supra, and in notes to the cases of White v. Telegraph Co., 14 Fed. 718, and Telegraph 00. v. Blanchard, 45 Am. Rep. 486. As respects the question of consideration, we agree with the supreme court of California, in the Hart Case, that "it is enough to say that, if the stipulation is one that can be made, it is a part of thg contract, and is supported by the same consideration that supports the contract for the transmission of the message." But, in regard to the extent that such a stipulation contravenes reason and public policy, there is, as has been said, much conflict in the deci· sions of the courts of the country. No decision that has come under our observation holds that the right of a telegraph company to contract for the limitation of its liability is without limit; and we are of opinion, after mature that it would be against reason and public policy to hold that it is permissible for such a eompany to stipulate for immunity from liability for a failure to xercise the care and diligence that the statute under which it operates declares it shall exercise. That being, in the present case, <igreat care and diligence," the failure on the part of the plaintiff in error to exercise that degree of care and diligence would render it liable for the damages sustained by the sender, nowithstanding the stipulation in question. There is certainly no hardship, but much sound reason, in requiring a telegraph company to exercise great care and diligence in the transmission and delivery of messages which it contracts to transmit and deliver, and for which it is paid. At the same time the nature of the employment is so peculiar, the risks attending it so extraordinary, that it is not unreasonable to uphold such stipulations, to the extent of limiting the liability of the company for losses not occasioned by its want of the care and diligence exacted by the law under which it operates. If these views be correct,-and we are of opinion that they embody the true logic and sense of the question,-it is quite manifest that the instructions given to the jury by the trial court were more favorable to the plaintiff in error than they should have been, and hence it has no good ground of complaint; for the court first instructed the jury, in substance, that if the company used suitable instruments, and employed skillful operators, who, in the transmission of the message, used ordinary care and diligence, and were not guilty of any actual or willful negligence, the plaintiffs could not recover anything beyond the price paid for the message, and interest thereon. Next, and on the other hand, if the mistake was due to the gross negligence of the company, "either in not providing suitable instruoperators, or to the gross negliments and lines, and
vol. 61-
of ,the operator ,,)losent, <1ispatch, or who received it at Grove, wb,ichlilhows a want of the care required by law, and .thl,lt the negligence was gross,'; the plaintiffs may recover the actUlil.. damages sustained by them. And then, that the delivery of the in itlil.' altered form, threw the burden of proof on the compl;Uly to shQW that it was not guilty of willful misconduct or gross\negligence in sending and delivering itl in order to exonerate',it'from, the damages actually sustained by the plaintiffs. Proof of the deliverx of the telegram in its altered form threw upon the company the burden of showing that it had exercised the degree of care, and diligence required of it by the law under which it was ,operating; that is to say, great care and diligence. The regarding the' burden of proof was therefore more favorable t(l'the company than it should have been. And, by the first an(}'second instructions referred to, the jury was told that a less de/Feeof care and diligence than is required of the company which.it operated would relieve it of the liability by for the4amages actuall! sustained by the plaintiffs. Of this, also, the company has no just cause of complaint. It also results from What has been said that the court below did not err in refusing to instruct the jury to return a 'Verdict for the plaintiff for the sumQf 25 cents, with interest thereon from the date of its payment to the company by the plaintiffs. The complaint alleged that the damages suffered by the plaintiffs occurred "through the error and gross negligence" of the defendant company. The latter deJ:!.ied, by its answer, any negligence on its part, and averred that it llsed great care lind diligence in the transmission of the message, and that the mistake was not caused by the incapacity or negligence of any of its operators or agents, but in some way or mannel.' unknown to the company. The evidence strongly tended to show, not only that the company did not use great care in the transmission of the message, but was grossly negligent, in that it had not a. competent operator at Walnut Grove,--the place to which the telegram in question was sent. Its agentthere was a Mr. Brown, who was a merchant and rancher, but who knew nothing about telegraphy, and who could neither send nor receive a message. Into his store the wires of the company were carried, and there was its office. In Brown's em'ploy, as clerk and general utility man,' was a Mr. Barrett, who, aOyears before, had been employed by a telegraph company operati:rig lines between Boston and Halifax. To this man the duties of telegraph operator at Walnut Grove were deputed. by Brown, with the consent of the" 'defendant company. Between the time of Barrett's employment in Masljlachusetts, and his undertaking the duties of operator at Walnut Grove, he had no experience in, or connection with, the business of telegraphy. Barrett was a witness on the trial, and when asked by counsel for the company the question, "How long have you been engaged in the telegraph business?" answered, "It covers a space of 36 years." On crossexamination this witness admitted that he had had no connec-
tion with the business of telegraphy for more than 30 years, at the time he was employed as operator at Walnut Grove, and that his former connection with that business covered a period of about three years, during which time he was employed in some capacity, not stated, on a line between Boston and Halifax. The evidence of the employment of such a man to transmit messages intrusted to a telegraph company not only fails to show the exercise of great care, but is strong evidence of gross negligence, on its part. We discover no error in the record prejudicial to the plaintiff in error, and the judgment is accordingly affirmed.
WARN v. DAVIS OIL CO.s (District .Court, S. D. New York.
May 14, 1894.)
An explosion in a building, unaccompanied by any explanation by the owner, or by evidence of care on his part, furnishes a presumption of negligence, and places on the owner the burden of showing reasonable care taken to avoid the accident.
SAlliE - UNEXPLAINED EXPLOSION NEGLIGENCE.
'Where an unexplained explosion took place in defendant's factory, and defendant offered evidence showing a business not especially dangerous, when prosecuted with reasonable care, and that there were suitable regulations, arrangements, and equipment, and reasonable care exercised, and no neglect by defendant to enforce such regulations, held, that the evidence sufficiently rebutted the presumption of negligence arising from the explosion.
This was a libel by David J. Warn against the Davis Oil Company for damages to libelant's canal boat, S. F. Phelps, from an explosion in defendant's factory, near the dock at which the canal boat was lying. Stewart & Macklin, for libelant. Goodrich,. Deady & Goodrich, for defendant. BROWN, District Judge. On the 30th of January, 1894, as the libelant's canal boat, S. F. Phelps, lay at the dock in Gowanus canal, foot of Seventh street, Brooklyn, an explosion occurred in the defendants' building a few feet distant, causing injury to the libelant's boat, for which the above libel was filed. In the court of appeals of this state, it was held in the case of Cosulich v. Oil Co., 122 N. Y. 118, 25 N. E. 259, that an explosion in a building, unaccompanied by any explanation by the owner, or by any evidence of care on his part, furnishes no presumption of negligence; and this was reaffirmed in Reiss v. Steam Co., 128 N. Y. 103, 28 N. E. 24. The opposite conclusion, as held by Judge Wallace, in the case of Rose v. Transportation Co., 11 Fed. 438, seems to me the more sensible and just, and more in accordance with legal principles and analogies. The same ruling was made on appeal in the circuit

The city of Anoka plans to buy a foreclosed triplex near the Northstar Commuter Rail station.
The rental property at 443 North Street has been vacant for more than a year, according to City Planner Erik Thorvig. It has also fallen into disrepair.
While the council unanimously agreed to purchase 442 North Street for $88,900, Councilmember Steve Schmidt abstained from the discussion and vote. Schmidt owns property in the area.
The city already owns some property nearby, and is buying the triplex as part of an effort to assemble land to resell to a private developer. It has a long-term plan for redevelopment in the area surrounding the rail station that includes a mix of retail, commercial and residential buildings.
Councilmember Mark Freeburg said the purchase fits with Anoka's long-time goal of reducing the amount of rental property in the city, in particular sub-standard rental units.
"This is just another case when we have a chance to reduce that ratio," said Freeburg. "It's part of the ongoing evolution of improving the housing in town."
Bank of America currently owns 443 North Street.
According to Thorvig, Anoka will pay more than $100,000 less for the property than its appraised value.
He said there had been a private purchase offer on the property, but that fell through.
"What we're doing is what private industry won't," Freeburg said. "The value isn't there."
The purchase is being funded through the city's Enterprise Park Tax Increment Financing District.
Once the city takes ownership, plans are to demolish the building and use it to assemble a larger development block, said Thorvig.
Councilmember Carl Anderson said his personal position on rental property in the city is evolving.
"But I don't want to see this kind of rental property," he said, referring to the building that is in poor condition.
Mayor Phil Rice said the benefit of purchasing this particular property is that by assembling pieces to make a package, the city can more easily motivate construction.
He also views the area around the rail station as a place where rental housing would be a good fit.

Raleigh, N.C. • Former "American Idol" and "Celebrity Apprentice" runner-up Clay Aiken joined another high-profile contest Wednesday this one to get elected to Congress in his native North Carolina.
Aiken announced he would seek the Democratic nomination for the 2nd Congressional District seat currently held by Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers. The entertainer is talking about his non-singing career as a special education teacher, UNICEF representative and presidential commission member on education while explaining his reason for getting in the race.
In each situation, "I saw a group of people, a population that was not being served," Aiken told The Associated Press in an interview.

You aren't being censored. The times when freedom of speech is restricted are remarkably rare and they exist for the greater good, rather than to stop you insulting whoever you like. It's probably correct that the police get involved when someone tries to post bacon through the door of a mosque, even if they claim to be exercising their right to freedom of expression.
Those who devote their energies to stopping same-sex marriage may very well be motivated by a genuine, albeit misplaced, fear over child welfare. If child welfare really is such a concern, perhaps they should review the evidence and direct just a fraction of their energy towards creating a more equal society...
So many people warn about the dangers associated with the use of social media (including me!) and rightly so. One wrong move (or Tweet) and you could find yourself only one click away from disaster. The recent example of Emma Way's tweet which led to her being labelled a "twit and run driver" was like watching a car crash unfolding in slow motion.
Recently, a sensationalistic news story about a Saudi Prince threatening to sue Forbes for an allegedly defamatory article within its annual Billionaires' List got tongues wagging. It's just the sort of international tale of caricature-esque hubris that newspapers and magazines swoon over. And, from a legal standpoint, the monarch's decision to sue in the UK -- monolithically referred to as 'the libel capital of the world' -- was contentious as well, especially in light of the new Defamation Act.
Social media users beware: you cannot tweet with impunity. Social media has made publishing vastly easier, but it has not made publishing responsibility free. And while the law was caught sleeping, it is now clear: the criminal and civil can come after you and hold you to account. Ignorance is no defense. So take note.
In November 2012, BBC's "Newsnight" broadcast a report making serious allegations against 'a leading Conservative politician from the Thatcher years'. A frenzy of speculation followed on social media sites, with Mrs Bercow tweeting to her 56,400 followers: Why is Lord McAlpine trending? *Innocent face*. Lord McAlpine commenced libel action claiming damages over the Tweet.

Thanks to default1206 and fdiaz2day in BPN for the heads up.
The next major upgrade to Adobe's industry-leading graphics editing software, Photoshop, is set to ship in the fourth quarter of 2003. This year will see the release of Photoshop 8.0, code-named "Dark Matter," and ImageReady 8.0, code-named "Taconite." ImageReady will remain a standalone application.
With this forthcoming release, Adobe is targeting the video and digital photography markets. However, its feature set is still subject to change. The Mac OS X version of the new Photoshop will require v10.2, Jaguar.
Specific updates will include: NTSC/PAL/HD preview choices to compliment the existing CMYK Preview, a Histogram palette, nested layer sets, and text on a path. Photoshop 8 will also include "filter layers," allowing for non-destructive image editing and manipulations, similar to Adobe After Effects' adjustment layers.

Would you rather have an interim coach?

Question for the group ...
posted by Chuck84
I don't think ND would land a good replacement in January. I'd generally rather have an interim coach than make a long-term mistake on some dildo like Fitzgerald. But next year's team really could be decent, and that would be wasted with an interim coach.
Dan Mullen is the name that seems to come up most often. I'm not sure about Dan Mullen. He's outpacing Mississippi State's norm, in a great conference, but 2014 is the first and only year with the success we'd want. In his fourth and fifth seasons, he went a combined 15-11.
Still, while he wouldn't be my first choice (Malzahn would be), I'd probably hire Mullen if possible. If not, I think I'd use an interim coach and see what the pool looks like in 2015.
Only if it was necessary to get the right guy, long-term *

|I saw a cool looking variation to Hank's Lunge the other day. It doesn't use the large obvious right hand hold (Jay's using it in the picture below for the standard version of the Lunge). Instead utilize small crimps on the face, somewhat left of the normal line. Some of the holds are shared with the Lunge version. The line should be fairly obvious as long as you don't use that large right hand hold I've mentioned. It looked hard but might be easier for those that are better at crimping down than dynoing.

If you're laughing out loud at the top of a boulder problem and no one is around to hear it, is it still awesome? The answer is definitely yes. The most fun problem I've done in a while. Technical with just a bit of power.

A sign of quality?
Filet Mignon
2010/12/07 06:40:08
Barts is a small ice cream company based in western Massachusetts. They franchise a few scoop shops, so I have posted this new thread here rather than "ice cream" to meet the "no chains" rule.
I have been to only the Amherst location, which is, IMO an equil to the justly famous Herrill's in nearby Northampton. (both are mentioned in various places on this site)
Bart's uses the biggest, best tasting, marachino cherry that I have ever had on a sundae. I generally don't even eat the dinky, red, stemless, lump served at most places, but Barts is different.
I wonder how input costs at a Barts compare to those at the typical chain. I'd be willing to bet that a shop pays more for everything from the ice cream to the sauce, to the cherry. They may save a little on the cream, as they make it themselves, but I expect that the savings are eaten up by extra labor..
At around $6 for a "large" (medium) sundae, Barts is not cheap, but they are not out of line with the competition considering the quality.

A broker of software attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in widely used software is placing a $1 million bounty on critical iOS bugs that allow hackers to remotely commandeer iPhones and iPads.
"Apple iOS, like all operating system(s), is often affected by critical security vulnerabilities," officials with the Zerodium bug broker said in blog post published Monday that announced the hefty reward. "However, due to the increasing number of security improvements and the effectiveness of exploit mitigations in place, Apple's iOS is currently the most secure mobile OS. But don't be fooled, secure does not mean unbreakable. It just means that iOS has currently the highest cost and complexity of vulnerability exploitation and here's where the Million Dollar iOS 9 Bug Bounty comes into play."
Under the program, Zerodium is prepared to pay a total of $3 million for remote iOS exploits that give attackers complete control over a vulnerable device. Zerodium will pay $1 million to each person or team who creates and submits an exclusive browser-based attack that works on the latest-available version of the operating system. The program is scheduled to run through October 31, but it will be terminated earlier if three winning exploits are submitted sooner.

text: Hi all, I just released lxml 2.0alpha2 to PyPI. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.0alpha2 http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/ ** What is lxml? """ In short: lxml is the most feature-rich and easy-to-use library for working with XML and HTML in the Python language. lxml is a Pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries. It is unique in that it combines the speed and feature completeness of these libraries with the simplicity of a native Python API. """ This release features a number of major API additions that follow the ElementTree library and the future API changes in ElementTree 1.3. The main new features are HTML serialisation support, a feed interface to the parsers, a SAX-like target parser interface, and iterfind() as an iterator version of findall(). All of these are currently more or less experimental, so feedback is warmly welcome. The lxml mailing list is always open for discussion, not only on the new features. The complete changelog is below. Have fun Stefan 2.0alpha2 (2007-09-15) Features added * ET.write(), tostring() and tounicode() now accept a keyword argument "method" that can be one of 'xml' (or None), 'html' or 'text' to serialise as XML, HTML or plain text content. * iterfind() method on Elements returns an iterator equivalent to findall() * itertext() method on Elements * Setting a QName object as value of the .text property or as an attribute will resolve its prefix in the respective context * ElementTree-like parser target interface as described in http://effbot.org/elementtree/elementtree-xmlparser.htm * ElementTree-like feed parser interface on XMLParser and HTMLParser (feed() and close() methods) Bugs fixed * lxml failed to serialise namespace declarations of elements other than the root node of a tree * Race condition in XSLT where the resolver context leaked between concurrent XSLT calls Other changes * element.getiterator() returns a list, use element.iter() to retrieve an iterator (ElementTree 1.3 compatible behaviour) 2.0alpha1 (2007-09-02) Features added * Reimplemented objectify.E for better performance and improved integration with objectify. Provides extended type support based on registered PyTypes. * XSLT objects now support deep copying * New makeSubElement() C-API function that allows creating a new subelement straight with text, tail and attributes. * XPath extension functions can now access the current context node (context.context_node) and use a context dictionary (context.eval_context) from the context provided in their first parameter * HTML tag soup parser based on BeautifulSoup in lxml.html.ElementSoup * New module lxml.doctestcompare by Ian Bicking for writing simplified doctests based on XML/HTML output. Use by importing lxml.usedoctest or lxml.html.usedoctest from within a doctest. * New module lxml.cssselect by Ian Bicking for selecting Elements with CSS selectors. * New package lxml.html written by Ian Bicking for advanced HTML treatment. * Namespace class setup is now local to the ElementNamespaceClassLookup instance and no longer global. * Schematron validation (incomplete in libxml2) * Additional stringify argument to objectify.PyType() takes a conversion function to strings to support setting text values from arbitrary types. * Entity support through an Entity factory and element classes. XML parsers now have a resolve_entities keyword argument that can be set to False to keep entities in the document. * column field on error log entries to accompany the line field * Error specific messages in XPath parsing and evaluation NOTE: for evaluation errors, you will now get an XPathEvalError instead of an XPathSyntaxError. To catch both, you can except on XPathError. * The regular expression functions in XPath now support passing a node-set instead of a string * Extended type annotation in objectify: new xsiannotate() function * EXSLT RegExp support in standard XPath (not only XSLT) Bugs fixed * lxml.etree did not check tag/attribute names * The XML parser did not report undefined entities as error * The text in exceptions raised by XML parsers, validators and XPath evaluators now reports the first error that occurred instead of the last * Passing '' as XPath namespace prefix did not raise an error * Thread safety in XPath evaluators Other changes * objectify.PyType for None is now called "NoneType" * el.getiterator() renamed to el.iter(), following ElementTree 1.3 - original name is still available as alias * In the public C-API, findOrBuildNodeNs() was replaced by the more generic findOrBuildNodeNsPrefix * Major refactoring in XPath/XSLT extension function code * Network access in parsers disabled by default

Washington wine grape growers saw production climb by 32 percent in 2012 from the previous year.
Wade Wolfe, owner/winemaker of Prosser's Thurston Wolfe, told several hundred people Wednesday that most vines were back to normal yields last year after suffering frost damage during the 2011 harvest.
Wolfe was speaking at the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers annual meeting at Kennewick's Three Rivers Convention Center, which continues today and Friday.
Chris Stone, the Washington Wine Commission's vice president of marketing and communications, told the Herald that 2012 was just about "perfect" for grape growing. Farmers had ideal growing weather from bud break in spring all the way through harvest, and many added acreage.
Washington growers harvested about 188,000 tons of wine grapes in 2012, with red varieties leading white by 1,000 tons, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This is the first time Washington has seen red grape production exceed white varieties, Stone said. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah continued to be the state's top reds, while chardonnay and white riesling continue to be strong whites.
Washington saw record crops for the big four -- chardonnay, riesling, cabernet sauvignon and merlot, Wolfe said.
Merlot saw the highest growth, up 58 percent from 2011 to 34,600 tons. Chardonnay and white riesling comprised almost 20 percent each of the total grape production in 2012. Cabernet sauvignon was 19 percent, while merlot contributed 18 percent and syrah represented 6 percent.
Washington's average price for wine grapes was similar to 2010, at $1,040 per ton, according to the USDA. In general, Stone said the wine market is seeing recovery for bottle prices above $20.
Wine sales continued to grow during the recession, although the pace was slower than average, he said.
"Washington is making such great wine that people just can't resist it," Stone said.
The privatization of liquor sales in Washington means there is more competition between wine and spirits for grocery store space and advertising, said Dan Ewer, senior vice president of wine for the Northwest for Young's Market Co. of Portland.
More central warehousing means that big chains are able to get more attractive prices, while smaller businesses pay higher prices, he said.
The average bottle of Washington wine was up by 35 cents in the past six months, Ewer said.
Washington only has been a part of the wine industry for 50 years, making it a baby compared with competitors in the rest of the world, Stone said.
"We are infants, but what is incredibly exciting about that is the quality that we are already producing in our infancy as a region," Stone said.

Understand Uncertainty in Program Effects
Education Week:
In education research, there's a drive to cut to the chase: What's the effect on the classroom? How much better will students perform on the state math test using this curriculum? How many months of classroom time can students progress by using that tutoring system? Usually education watchers make that interpretation based on a study's effect size, often called the p-value. Yet at the annual conference of the Association for Psychological Science here this weekend, statistics professor Geoff Cumming of Latrobe University in Melbourne, Australia made a thoughtful—and pretty persuasive—argument that the effect size is not the certainty it is often taken for, and considering more complexity can give us a more accurate view of how interventions really work.
A p-value in statistics represents the likelihood that the researcher would be able to get the same result by chance, and generally the smaller it is, the better: a p-value of .05 or less is usually needed for the intervention to be considered to have at least a small effect. As Cumming explains in this demonstration, the effects of a given experiment can vary significantly with every repetition, and the "official" effect size doesn't usually show that uncertainty.

Embraer is extending the $2.75 million introductory price to May 31 for the Phenom 100, its offering in the growing very light jet segment. The price of the eight-seat, 1,160-nm (four occupants) Phenom 100 increases to $2.85 million on June 1. First flight is scheduled for the first quarter of next year, with entry into service expected in mid-2008. Embraer's $6.65 million, nine-passenger Phenom 300 light jet is planned to enter service in mid-2009. Both new jets will be powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada engines. The company said market response to the Phenom 100 and 300 has "surpassed our expectations," but declined to provide order numbers. However, a spokeswoman said the next available delivery slot for the VLJ is May 2010 and late 2009 for the light jet. Meanwhile, mockups of both aircraft will begin a European tour at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Geneva May 3 to 5.

Marlin 795 Failure to Extract?
So I was putting a few rounds through the 795 today, but I wasnt having all that much fun... On my last range trip, I ran about 275 rounds of Federal Bulk "value pack" through the rifle. I didnt have 1 malfunction, period. I havent cleaned the rifle since then, but I didnt think it would matter too much. I tried changing ammo twice, first was the federal of course, then I tried to change to Super X High Velocity. Finally, I went with some CCI Mini-mag. Same problem, so clearly not the ammo. Anyway, I go back home and figured I would clean it. I thought maybe that would help, at least a little. I didnt fully disassemble the rifle, with the e-clips and all... I just did a basic strip to get the guts cleaned.
So, now I'm pretty much done with the cleaning. Barrel, most internals, etc done. Now it's time to clean the (bolt face?), extractor, etc. So I scrub the bolt face clean with a brass brush from the Hoppes cleaning kit. There is now little to no residue on it. So I reassemble the gun, whatever. I mean it's night time at this point, not gonna bother actually firing any more rounds. I go get some shell casings from way back. Obviously at this point I'm also testing for function. The brass extracted fine. I took another casing and did the same. Again, extraction and ejection were fine. After I tried another casing, wouldnt you know it, failure to extract. The gun was now clean, I dont see why the extractor wouldnt be picking up the casing.
I then figured out how to simulate the problem. I put the casing into the chamber somewhat loosely. Then hit the bolt release and pulled the bolt back. Extracted 100% every time I did this. Then, I pushed the casing in a little deeper into the chamber. Now, the casing would not extract and as before, I used my pocket knife to carefully pull out the casing. Tried it again with the same results. I was pretty surprised at this. I only tried it 3 times, so me simulating the malfunction could have been co-incidence.
I wonder if actually firing the round and working the action manually would yield different results. I remember one range trip where I fired about 100 federal bulk flawlessly, then fired about 25 Aguila super colibris and had this same problem of FTE. Then, I went on to shoot another 100 fed bulk flawlessly.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I feel like theres a possibility of me working the action by hand is messing with the results. As I said in the previous paragraph, it's happened when I had to manually work the action, but not when I was firing full power rounds.
What should I do? Is there a reason manually working the action could cause FTE? If so, why? Is there a problem with my extractor? I'm kind of a noob, but for anyone who has the patience to deal with this, it would help a lot... Thanks!

Hi Sheryl;
I've read and replied (I think) to some of your other posts. I am happy that the TM did not cause permanent or disabling damage. I am happy to hear that you will continue to participate in physical activity (especially the Lupus Marathon!) and that you are educating yourself and actively participating in your health care.
Keep us posted about the marathon....I am rooting for both of you :lol:
Peace and Blessings
