Spectral Density Estimation and Robust Hypothesis Testing Using Steep Origin Kernels Without Truncation
In this paper, we construct a new class of kernel by exponentiating conventional kernels and use them in the long run variance estimation with and without smoothing. Depending on whether the exponent is allowed to grow with the sample size, we establish different asymptotic approximations to the sampling distribution of the proposed estimator. When the exponent is passed to infinity with the sample size, the new estimator is consistent and shown to be asymptotically normal. When the exponent is fixed, the new estimator is inconsistent and has a nonstandard limiting distribution. It is shown via Monte Carlo experiments that, when the chosen exponent is small in practical applications, the nonstandard limit theory provides better approximations to the finite sampling distributions of the spectral density estimator and the associated test statistic in regression settings.Download Info

Hi, I'm Wikitiki89. I'm a native speaker of both English and Russian. My English is that of New England (New English?) and my Russian (as I've been told) is distinctly Moscovian. Having never lived in (or even ever been to) a Russian-speaking country, I have no formal Russian education. My Russian grammar, however, is as good as any other native speaker even if my vocabulary and spelling are a little lacking.
Even though I didn't really start learning English till I was three years old, it has had plenty of time to surpass my Russian. Having been thoroughly tortured by my high school English teacher, my formal English grammar is better than most people (see if you can spot the two errors in that sentence!). I intentionally try not to let formal grammar invade my colloquial speech, but inevitably it sometimes does.
My French is not very good conversationally, but my reading and writing are good if I have a dictionary at hand.
Well that just about summarizes my three best languages.
- I like to play devil's advocate, so don't take it personally if I debate things very thoroughly.
- I try to see things from everyone's point of view, which is usually the driving force behind my fierce cross-examinations.
- I don't get easily offended (you can try me if you want at my talk page), but as a consequence, I often accidentally offend others.
- I try to be fair with everything I do, but that doesn't mean I'm always successful at this. If you think I'm being unfair, tell me.
I have a bot: WikitikiBot (talk • contribs).

Hurray! Sunny today. Decided to cycle to Le Gois this morning ready for low tide at 9:53 to see what it was like. On the way, we saw two otters ahead of us playing on the cycle path. As we neared the causeway, we could see cars parked at the side and probably about a hundred people raking like mad on the sand. We guessed they were looking for cockles or oysters.

Even though the Caps lost tonight to the L.A. Kings 5-4, it's still worth celebrating the fact Alex Ovechkin got goal #200 for his career late in the 3rd period.
To be honest, the Caps looked flat tonight. Tied @ 1 apiece after the first period--then in the span of 1:45 to start the 2nd, it was L.A. 3, Caps 2. From that point on it was a question of whether the Caps would mount a comeback, not if.
Not much else to say about the game, really. Outside of Alex's getting #200, that is.

If you're old enough to drink a couple of alcoholic beverages after work, then you might find yourself wanting to log into your favorite community and chat with some people. I have even been guilty of hoping on to a forum while intoxicated and posting a few things. Was it the smartest thing? Definitely, most probably, not. So, what's wrong with hoping on a forum/your forum after a late night 6 pack?
While bragging about your 20/20 vision while your drunk may seem cool, be ready to wake up to a generous amount of misspelled and incomplete posts. Beer goggle's aren't just an offline feature that the brain came up with. Like magic, this fashionable eye gear works online too. If your brain is racing and your vision is slowly turning into a fuzzy blitz of awesomeness , then consider turning on Skype instead…because 1 person seeing a drunken mess of text is a lot better than a few 100.
You're online and you have just consumed a bunch of liquid courage. You may think you're the badass in town, but you're just the typical online jerk. When intoxicated you may feel the need to voice your opinion more, call members out on their lies (even though the last 5 posts you made contained what could be turned into a fictional novel) or even hit on that one chick just because you think she's hot from the 100×100 pixel avatar she has (Note: Beer Goggles). You may think you're better than all that, but it's amazing what an alcoholic drink can do to ones personality. Don't risk having to wake up in the morning and have to apologize to people.
Over Reactions
Just like in high school the simplest thing can be turned into an online fist fight filled with racial slurs and curse words. Liquid courage is amazing at giving the skinniest dude on the block the thought that he has muscles bigger than the hulk. This isn't call of duty: black ops…this is stuff that can be seen by many people, and it can very much harm your reputation. Just because that one dude with 5 posts called your forum a "piece of crap" doesn't mean you should textually harass him with a sentence filled with more curse words than a movie Samuel L. Jackson stars in. The best thing is to stay offline so that you can appropriately reply to people's responses in the morning.
Mr. Know it All
You don't know everything and you can't just act like you know something because you searched in google a second ago. Stop trying to be the guy with all the answers when you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Alcohol comes with that automatic know-it-all feature, so if someone asks a question you already know you cannot answer then it's best not to reply. Combined with beer goggles…it's gonna be a fail post plus if it's wrong then you'll have to admit defeat and who likes to do that in the morning? Wait, why are you even trying to post in the first place?
Drink responsibly and don't use a forum while intoxicated. You'll appreciate it and the people reading your posts will definitely appreciate not having to read incomplete sentences. Last case scenario, if you need to do something then hop on 9gag…that'll help relieve some of that built up alcohol laughter.

What content is missing with the individual versions? 6 disks total vs 9 in the complete set.
Has everyone heard of "Machete Order" for watching the SW movies? You skip Episode 1
I've been thinking about what order to watch the SW movies when I start watching with my now 4.5 yo son and came across the topic. Quite funny too. Many other posts about it but this is the original. http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012...-star-wars |
IMO, it's only for true diehards. The only "additional content" I want to see are the Disney Star Wars movies when they come out (and before you scoff, they also own Marvel e.g. Avengers, X-Men First Class, Iron Man, etc..). Lucas pretty much ran the franchise into the ground with his cash grabs. It's good he's handing over the reins to a more responsible party. Note to self: NEVER buy anymore Samsung products, no matter how good the price is.
Why slickdeals is awesome: I post a deal, it gets reposted 30 minutes later. I report the repost, and slickdeals warns me for "not doing my own work" when all the new poster did was post incomplete info and add links an hour after they blatantly stole my post. Obviously, this is the right way to encourage me to post more deals. |
Generally, my opinion is that it's best to watch the originals first always. The prequels really are just there as backstory. They started the originals where they did because that's where they needed to start them. That's also why the prequels aren't as good. The problem I see with the machete order (or any order involving seeing the prequels before finishing the original trilogy) is that it makes it all but certain that Vader will turn good (or why are we watching the movie) once you devote 2 films to his back story. One of the joys of ROTJ is that you have no idea what's going to happen. The prequels made him out into a goody two-shoes who turned bad for noble intentions. There was no hint of that in the originals. He was a substantially darker character, which made the tension much higher during the climactic battle. I'd definitely say go originals first and then decide what you want to do about how to show the back-story movies. |
The other big reason for not watching the prequels first is the parentage of Luke and Leia won't be a surprise in Episodes V and VI.
When I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the theater in 1980, before the internet, spoiler alerts, etc. the big reveal was about as good as it gets in movie surprises/shockers. I still remember to this day the entire theater basically saying WTF? |
But yah, can't wait for episode 7. Hopefully it makes up for the prequels. |

Its not like it stalked him nor would it immediately understand human biology like where his mouth is and what it eats. Probably just sees him jump down every day for a while and just tries to help him out considering how large he is probably thinks of him as somewhat of an equal or something idk.

What physicians want
Physicians just don't want to work in private practice anymore. Or so the prevailing wisdom would have us believe. Instead, says this line of thinking, with few exceptions, new doctors just want steady employment, preferably in the hospital environment, where all they have to do is take care of patients instead of dealing with the billing and staffing challenges and all the other headaches that a physician in private practice is expected to take care of.

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I., Sept. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Prescription monitoring laboratory and clinical partner Dominion Diagnostics has established a new comprehensive program, its Safe Use Treatment Monitoring Solution. Consistent with Industry Guidelines in Pain Management, Safe Use is compliant with the FDA's Opioid Risk and Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) and individual State Prescribing Regulations for controlled substances. The program aims to support concerned physicians across the United States trying to fight the rising toll of prescription drug abuse.
Dominion will launch its Safe Use program with Meet the Experts Sessions at PAINWeek 2011 this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. The sessions will be open to all participants on Thursday, September 8 at 3:30 pm and Friday, September 9 at 12:30 pm at Booth 1000 in the Exhibit Hall.
Featured guest speakers include Baker Fore, DO, a leading primary care specialist, pain management provider certified by the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) and AAPM Diplomat; Ted Jones, PhD, a clinical psychologist with vast experience treating mental health, addiction and chronic pain; and Darren McCoy, FNP-BC, a chronic pain nurse practitioner and an active editorial board member for Pain Management Nursing. Fore, Jones and McCoy will discuss the clinical application of Dominion's Safe Use program and answer questions from participants.
"Too often in medicine we seem to make simple things difficult," Dr. Fore shared. "SAFE USE makes treating pain patients simple again." Fore will present a scientific poster at the meeting that illustrates increased prescription adherence and minimized diversion and misuse resulting from the implementation of Safe Use guidelines in his practice in Oklahoma.
Partners in the Safe Use program will work with Dominion to promote the safe and effective use of chronic pain medications through educating their local community on the proper use of prescription medications. In addition, they will have access to risk stratification tools, outcomes-based treatment, and patient education assistance.

Dimensionality of the military chaplaincy
Dimensionality: "An aspect or feature of a situation, problem, or thing" (Oxford English Dictionary). The more dimensions the more complex, e.g., one dimensional, two dimensional, three dimensional. Dimensionality may also speak to the complexity of racial, social, religious, cultural, sexual, gender, class, etc., diversity within today's military chaplaincy.

Tennessee's annual Orange-White Game was a success on several levels last weekend. No, it wasn't because we know any more about the potential of this team than we did before they kicked off Saturday afternoon. The success was in the stands where more than 35,000 turned out on a cloudy day with threats of showers to get a glimpse of the core of next year's Big Orange team. The other success actually did occur on the field when the Vols were able to complete the scrimmage with no significant injuries.
The attendance was the fourth largest crowd to attend the spring game. The fans were treated to a fun day with many taking advantage of the pre-game autograph and picture session on the field.
The game itself actually was competitive and was ultimately decided by a fourth quarter field goal made by backup kicker Derrick Brodus, giving the Orange team a 17-14 victory. You might remember Brodus. He is the kicker given a police escort from a fraternity house to Neyland Stadium last year to kick after Palardy hurt himself in the pre-game warm up prior to the MTSU game.
It was hard to come away from this game with a feel for how things will play out in the fall. The running game looked better, but the defense is still a work in progress. One thing that certainly stood out was a kicking game that needs to improve if this team wants to meet expectations this fall.
The Vols will start the season against ACC opponent North Carolina State Aug. 31 in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the Georgia Dome. Between now and then, Coach Dooley and his staff need to figure out a way to beat an ACC opponent; something they have failed to do several times since winning the 1998 national championship against Florida State.
This week, Pat Summitt and her son, Tyler, received the Sargent and Eunice Shriver Profiles in Dignity Award at the Alzheimer's Association's national dinner in Washington, DC. A well deserved honor for Pat and Tyler for the way they handled a very difficult situation this past year.
Pat also received the 2012 Coach Wooden Citizenship Award this week for her character and leadership, both on and off the field of competition, coupled with her contribution to sport and society. Coach Summitt's schedule will continue to stay full as she begins work on a new book scheduled to be released in 2013. Once again, she will team with award winning sports writer Sally Jenkins. The two collaborated on two prior books, "Raise the Roof" and "Reach for the Summitt."
The majority of Tennessee sports fans will spend the upcoming months anxiously awaiting the start of the football season. That wait will once again be accompanied with visions of a respectable record and a bowl appearance by their orange clad warriors. A projected record of 8-4 will certainly migrate upward the closer we get to fall. This year, those expectations could be more realistic than those from the past few years. It all starts on Labor Day weekend in Atlanta. Go Vols!!!!

Rocky Top Beat: UT's Orange-White game was a success
- Sports Columns
ROCKY TOP BEAT: Big Orange fans fixated toward spring practice
The Big Orange Nation will be fixated on the start of spring practice today.
Rocky Top Beat: Vols return to familiar territory
The Vols are once again in familiar territory, only this time they have no margin for error. The win Wednesday at Mississippi State was the first over two struggling SEC teams left on the schedule. The victory will do nothing to improve their RPI or chances for an NCAA Tournament bid; however, a loss would most likely have sent them the NIT route again.
Rocky Top Beat: This week at UT resembled past winters
This week saw things at UT start to resemble some of the winters from years past. After the Vols had started to show signs of another late-season run, they came up short against a talented Florida squad. Now, they find themselves in an all too familiar position of having little room for error as they close out the regular season but with a NCAA Tournament bid still in reach.
ROCKY TOP BEAT: Tennessee signs one of the top five recruiting classes in the nation
National Signing Day for 2014 is in the books and Vol fans should feel pretty good about the future with the caliber of this class. Part of that class has already enrolled early and will be on display this spring when the Vols head to the practice field. There is a long road ahead for these freshmen before they ever get grass stains on their game day uniforms.
Rocky Top Beat: UT needs a "State of Athletics" address
This week we had the annual right of passage from the political world with the "State of the Union" address. It would be great if, every year, the head of the University of Tennessee athletics would address UT fans on his vision for the future. Sadly, that will not happen with David Hart. It is just not his style.
ROCKY TOP BEAT: UT basketball teams not living up to expectations
The optimism surrounding UT athletics at the start of 2014 has been tempered a bit with both basketball teams failing to live up to expectations so far this month. With both teams having rosters with high caliber athletes, the results on the court have been inconsistent and disappointing for a fan base that was primed for better.
Rocky Top Beat: Last week was a hard one for UT hoop fans
Last weekend was a hard one for Volunteer basketball fans. The Vols once again showed the inconsistencies that have kept them out of the NCAA Tournament since Coach Cuonzo Martin arrived on Rocky Top. Coming off a road victory at LSU, they failed to close out a game at home and lost in the waning seconds to Texas A&M this past Saturday at home.
ROCKY TOP BEAT: 2014 promises to be a better year for UT sports
Welcome to 2014, a year that holds the promise of a better sports year for the Volunteers. This week, 14 members of the highly touted incoming football recruiting class arrived at UT to enroll for the spring semester. The early enrollment will certainly give this part of the 2014 class a jump start on their fellow members that will arrive in the fall. Look for many of the early enrollees to contribute on the field in the fall after benefiting from spring practice.
Oh Good Greif: Enjoy the pause in local sports
It is that time of the year when sports slows down briefly as Christmas comes and goes, and the new year comes in.
ROCKY TOP BEAT: Tennessee is not going to bowl game once again this year
The conference championships are over and now all that remains is the bowl season which unfortunately will not include a favorite team clad in orange. In what has become a recent theme – the Vols have failed to become bowl eligible once again.

Pip - you could try the "oh my gosh, did we forget to let you know?! So sorry, the baby was born days ago", followed by long silence and then cackling laughter. I bet they wouldn't phone again for an update!
CM - so sorry your boss s being such a pain. Hopefully the 3 months will go by reatively fast and you can then get started on the new job.

Beware CM, the first few times the epilator hurts. A lot. But then it gets easier and easier, and I now use my for legs, underarms and bikini line and it's fab. but you do have to get through the early stages...with gin, drugs, whatever it takes! Good news on your resignation, and always nice to know that you're appreciated and will be missed - even if it is too late!
My mum grew up near cheddar, so I remember wooky from TTs days, and we used to love it. I believe it's now much more commercialised, but haven't been there for years. Hubby and I went for a walk along cheddar gorge during part of our honeymoon though - hard to remember how young and carefree we were then!!
We have finally got our car back, and entertainingly (sort of!), it sounds as though they didn't really know what was wrong with it, and gave hubby the runaround on Saturday when he went down there to find out what they'd been doing, but have now re-booted the software which has fixed the problem! But the best news this evening was that they've decided to cover all the costs under warranty which is a huge relief (it's about a month out of warranty). One of those things you don't realise you've really been worrying about until it's sorted - especially when they'd been talking about replacing computer control panels at upwards of 1k!!
Ugh, we're having our hall, stairs and landing decorated. So far we've had all the paper stripped - before we went away - and this week the plasterers are about half way through. How and why does plaster dust get everywhere?!! It's hopeless with all the children as basically the whole house is out of action because you can't get between any rooms! Seems like they're on track though, so will hopefully finish on Friday and then only the painting to do...which will take about 3 weeks and will involve wet paint all over the house. What could possibly go wrong?

Caro - have you thought about going the other way with shoes? I have some merrell barefoot type shoes which I now wear for work and my feet are more comfortable than they've ever been, and I'm pretty much on my feet for 12 hours at work.
Someone asked about cars - Sonya? We love our Alhambra (I think the current problems are a computer glitch rather than an issue with the actual car) and would definitely recommend one. If you want 3 full size seats, which I'd definitely recommend with 3 small children, you're quite limited. My husband did all the looking as I'm not really too bothered about specifics as long as it does want we need, but I know he considered the vw sharan, the Alhambra and the s max. He discounted the ford as too expensive, and went backwards and forwards between the other 2 but eventually decided that the Alhambra was much better value for money and had some better features. Whatever you get I would say that sliding doors are an absolute revelation, and I would never go back to a family car without them - a huge plus when you're loading and unloading multiple small people!

I have been howling (quietly!) reading the last few pages! I'm in the no pants category - never seen the point of wearing cotton pants that will get sweaty and wet under technical fibre shorts which are designed to keep you dry and cool. Maybe also because I used to do a lot of cycling and would never wear pants under cycling shorts/tights as way too much chafing potential. I'm also in the trim and epilate camp, although like Tangy, I do have to think twice before taking the children swimming in the winter, and have had a few "oh well, hopefully we won't see anyone I know" moments when I've forgotten!
Thanks for your thoughts pages back. We went on the train so no weather concerns and got to Switzerland without any further mishap in our friends Alhambra. It was amazingly kind of them and we wouldn't have been able to go otherwise, so I'll need to do some wine shopping today and give the car a good clean before giving it back to them! We had a good holiday but Isabelle was really quite poorly and spent 3 days not able to do anything. I had taken the grand total of 2 calpol sachets with us as got rather distracted by the car dramas and forgot my usual check list of essentials, so I spent 3 days crushing up paracetamol and ibuprofen tablets and trying to get her to take them mixed with various things in order to get her temperature down - I'm sure I will now overpack children's medicines forever now! Anyway, she had 3 days of skiing and one lesson and enjoyed what she did, which is the main thing, and husband and I had a couple of days of sunny mountain time which was fab - we were sorely in need of a bit of relaxation and time together.
But wow, skiing is expensive, ,and if we didn't have somewhere to stay there's no way we'd go. I think we will have to have a serious conversation about whether it's something we want to keep doing, as with kit - either buying or hiring - for 3 of them, plus lessons and lift passes, it's a major major financial committment. Jury's out at the moment, but there were lots of very posh people in verbier when we skied over there for the day - hooray Henry's out in force!
EF - hope your return to work isn't too awful. I think the waiting is in some ways worse than the reality, and you'll slot back into it ok, but I know that going back part time is definitely easier than when I was full time so I empathise hugely. Hope you're not too cold - do you have an immersion heater for water?
Right, must go and sort out the house, which is utterly trashed - bags opened and stuff everywhere! Isabelle is at her swimming lesson and then they're going down to see what's happening with our car which has been at the garage while we've been away, so I had better make it look as thought I've been doing something useful!

MacMurray Ranch Sonoma Coast Pinot Gris possesses an expressive fruit-forward character, exhibiting rich aromas of fig, white peach, and pear. The bright aromas and complex varietal characters of citrus and elements of spice add both weight and interest to the wine. The flavors of peach, spicy pear and citrus meld together in a rich core, resulting in a round mouth feel which complement its crisp, clean finish.
The Sonoma Coast covers 750 square miles, from the Mendocino County line in the north to the Sonoma-Marin border in the south. Adjacent to the Russian River Valley, portions of the Sonoma Coast offer a unique climate zone - the coolest area in Sonoma County. Cool, moist air from the Pacific Ocean and cooling winds and fog pour in through the Petaluma Wind Gap, creating ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir. As a result of these unique characteristics, the Sonoma Coast is recognized as a premier source for exceptional Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris varietal wines.
"The 2008 Pinot Gris continues their string of winners, offering notes of honeyed orange blossom, baked apple pie, and white currants. This fresh, unoaked, medium-bodied white reveals good acidity, and fills the mouth with joy. Consume it over the next year." 90 Points The Wine Advocate
MacMurray Ranch was purchased from the Porter family by famed actor Fred MacMurray in 1941. Fred raised his family on the ranch and they enjoyed the natural wonders of Sonoma County.

Pinot Gris/Grigio(PEE-noh gree/GREE-jee-oh) While Pinot Grigio is in fact the same grape as Pinot Gris (just the Italian take on it), the differences of wine they create can be immense. Pinot Gris' most popular and successful region is Alsace, France, an area of the country that actually puts the name of the grape on the label. Pinot Grigio is the Italian version of the grape,...Read More About Pinot Gris/Grigio

2000 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible
ProsThe design says it all.. it's a classic ConsNon to speak of, except maybe that I need to part ways!
Clutch! — I loved everything about it... all about the ride. It really gives you a unique experience to ride one the most coveted brands of all time. It's in the handle, it's the emotional connection you get when your cruising around! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera
ProsGreat car! I would highly recommend that everyone at some point in the life own a Porsche. ConsYou are always worried that someone will scratch or bump into your car. You are treated differently, when you own a car like this.
Great Car! — I would highly recommend this car to anyone who has always wanted to own a sports car. It is fast, stylish, sleek and powerful. I have very few complaints. Having a convertible is like driving two different cars, one nicer than the other. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 AWD Convertible
ProsGreat second car. ConsNone
Fun Summer Car — This is a great second car. Kids fit in the back seats with a carseat and a booster seat. They'll probably fit comfortaly until they are 12 years old or so. For being a performance car, the maintenance is very reasonable. In fact, it is not different from most other cars. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera
ProsA nicely tuned package - power, looks, handling. ConsParking lots!
Porsche Review — 3 Questions asked by total strangers and friends alike: How much did it cost? How fast does it go? And Can I drive it? Drag raced a Ferrari once. Got beat but it was a blast. Loved drving it - but hated parking lots and rocks. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible
Prosif you want to touch the sky, go for it ConsIf you hate cars, don't
Quicker Than The Wind — Everything's just fine. Can't wait to drive it on week-ends. Very reliable (even if small electrical problems). Don't park it in the streets (at least not in Paris...), and look carefully at the speedmeter when on the highway ! Quite fuel-consuming in traffic-jams, but not so much at maximum legal speed. 100% happy. |
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera
Prosenough fast, reliable, good look, good handling,low fuel cost Consrelative lack of power, frontal the same as the Boxster one
996 C2 3.4 — A good balanced Sport Car. You can use it everyday,it has an unbreakable Stroke. It can be used in circuits too, with an accurate perfomance. Its not the faster I have proved, but its a good option if you are looking for a Sport Car with a good look, fun to drive, well build, and a reasonable cost. |
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 AWD
ProsLooks, Looks Looks ConsGetting in and out
This One Is A Beauty! — This car is flawless. It's handling and looks are second to none. If I had a complaint it would be that the computer fixes misztakes when you drive and so I rpefer to drive my 1989 e30 M3, but this car outperforms the M3 any day |
2000 Porsche 911 Carrera
ProsHanding & Performance ConsNon
Loads Of Fun To Drive, What A Sports Car Should Be Like... — Awesome car, fun to drive, excellent handling and performance. This is the sports car all others aspire to be. A perfect balance between, performance, handling and comfort. In my humble opinion one of my all time favorite cars. Who can honestly say they dislike driving a 911? Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Cancellation / Nonrenewal : Docket No. INS-07-2072 Decision
Archives: 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011| 2012 | 2013 | 2014 John Stone v. Electric Insurance Company The insured requested a hearing following receipt of a notice of homeowners insurance nonrenewal citing the insured's loss history as the reason for nonrenewal. At hearing, the company testified that the home no longer meets the company's underwriting guidelines. The insured argued that he has rectified the problem causing the losses. Held: For the insured. Title 24-A M.R.S.A. § 3051 states that "the reason for nonrenewal must be a good faith reason and related to the insurability of the property or a ground for cancellation pursuant to section 3049. Section 3051 requires the stated reason to be explicit and provides that "loss record" by itself is not a sufficient reason for nonrenewal. In the present case, the stated reason for nonrenewal simply informed the insured that the company declined to renew his policy because he had losses, not that he had similar losses due to a condition of the property. Therefore, the reason given to the insured was insufficient. To support its action, a company must demonstrate a nexus or pattern to illustrate that the cause or nature of the past claims is such that similar or continued future claims are likely. Although the company articulated a condition indicative of continuing losses, the insured demonstrated that he has addressed the condition. In addition, the company's argument was that, as a result of the losses, the home no longer meets the company's underwriting guidelines. Section 3054 states that the insurer's statement that the risk does not meet the insurer's underwriting guidelines is not sufficient proof or evidence to sustain a nonrenewal action. Finally, section 3051 requires an insurer to provide a minimum of 30 days notice of the nonrenewal action to the insured before the expiration of the policy. A post office certificate of mailing is conclusive proof of receipt of the notice. § 3051. The company did not produce the post office certificate of mailing at the hearing nor within the additional time period allowed by the hearing officer. Without the post office certificate of mailing, compliance with the notice requirements of § 3051 cannot be determined. The Superintendent hereby concludes that the company has not established that it may decline to renew this policy. Last Updated: January 16, 2014 |

By Barbara Pease and Allan Pease
1. Sex cures mild depression by releasing endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and a feeling of well-being.
2. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever. No one ever gets a stuffy nose during lovemaking.
3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.
4. Sex tones up just about every muscle in the body, and it's more fun than swimming twenty laps.
5. When women make love, they produce large amounts of estrogen, which makes hair shiny and skin smooth.
6. The more often you have sex, the more sex you will be offered. A sexually active body secretes large quantities of pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy.
7. Sex is around ten times more effective as a tranquilizer than Valium.
8. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay and plaque buildup.
9. Sex relieves headaches by releasing the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.
10. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chance of suffering dermatitis, rashes, and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes the skin glow.

Fruited Chicken Salad over Couscous
Either pack the couscous separately, or line the bottom of a large portable container with the couscous and top with the chicken mixture. Prepare this salad just a few hours in advance; if made too far ahead, the fruit becomes watery. Purchase precut fruit for easier preparation.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups salad and 3/4 cup couscous)

1I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.
5I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
6If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.
7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
