The new daylight-filled building is the third and final part of Richard Meier's office master plan for the Radio Plaza superblock. Inspired by Czech cubism, the exterior is a expressed as a series of horizontal and vertical planes and includes cubic balconies and vertical fins on the south and west facades that help shade the interior. Eight stories of green, modern and flexible office space will soon be available under the ownership of Skanska.
The highlight of the project is a large light-filled central atrium with a black olive tree planted in the center surrounded by ivy-covered living walls. Sustainable design is also expressed through the use of natural ventilation of the atrium during the summer, state-of-the-art mechanical systems, reduction of water runoffs and storm water collection, a green roof, indoor air quality control and the use of local and recycled materials. Construction began on the office building in 2010 and is expected to be complete by 2012. + Richard Meier & Partners

Frigidaire Electric Ranges are Dangerous
Posted by
RICHLAND, MICHIGAN -- My daughter was so excited a few years ago when her father and I told her we would purchase new kitchen appliances for her. She went to Lowes and chose Frigidaire with the finish that looks like stainless steel. She started having problems with the electric range as soon as the one year warranty ran out. When the heating element in the oven caught fire and damaged the computer. She called a licensed repairman who replaced circuit board, but the oven caught on fire a few weeks later and he came back and replaced the heating element. He said he had seen problems like this before with some with Frigidair ranges. A couple of months later, the oven stopped working and so did the smooth cooktop. She contacted Frigidaire (Electrolux) and they gave her a runaround that was unbelievable. I contacted them as well and got the same runnaround. Finally it became clear they were going to do nothing because although they seemed to be aware of the problems with these ranges, they were not required to take any action since the warranty was expired and there was no recall on record. Since then, the oven and the cooktop has stopped working several times and then suddenly started working again. She started keeping small appliances nearby including an electric frying pan, roaster, toaster oven, etc. just in case. When the oven caught fire again, her husband ordered a new heating element (they couldn't afford to call a repairman again) and replaced it.
Once again the oven worked for a while, stopped, started and then finally last week it caught fire again. This time I told her not to spend any more money on a stove that was clearly defective from day one and that I was scared to death it was going to burn her house down. I am posting this complaint on as many internet sites as possible to warn others to beware of purchasing a Frigidaire range. I don't know how many models had/have this problem but if you buy a lemon I hope you don't expect Frigidaire/Electrolux to stand behind their products.

Venice09 on 10/22/2011:
Another example of planned obsolescence. I can't imagine anyone defending Frigidaire in this case. You're either scared into buying an extended warranty, or scared that your house will burn down!
If you haven't already done so, you might want to check online to see if there was a recall on this specific model. Don't just believe what the company tells you. Either way, I'd get it out of the house as quickly as possible. Frigidaire should hang its head in shame.
At Your Service on 10/23/2011:
I really like my Frigidaire appliances and recommend them highly, but I can understand how frustrated and alarmed you must be when you're the 1/x that has had the issue. I would agree that if your range is having such alarming issues, it's not worth even trying to use it. Keep it unplugged until you decide to replace it. Before doing so, however, check with the retailer you made the purchase through. Many offer reasonably priced extended service guarantees. The warranty provider, in many cases, have a "No Lemon Clause" that will replace the range for you. I had a family member, with a completely different product and brand, have it happen to them.
Venice09 on 10/23/2011:
Do you actually think the OP should invest in an extended warranty at this point, in hopes of getting the range replaced? That goes beyond wishful thinking.
At Your Service on 10/23/2011:
The O.P., by contacting the retailer, may find out an extended warranty program was purchased when the appliance package was purchased. Warranties for packages are, in many cases, offered at reduced prices. A phone call never hurts and may resolve the issue to the O.P. liking.
Venice09 on 10/23/2011:
You said, "check with the retailer you made the purchase through. Many offer reasonably priced extended service guarantees."
I read that to mean the OP should buy one now. I think a person would remember if they already bought one.
CPolk on 10/25/2011:
Good Afternoon,
I apologize for the inconvenience and concerns this appliance unit has been causing you. I would like to further assist you but in order to do so, will you please email me directly at email@example.com with your unit's model/serial information, personal name, address, phone number and date of purchase of the unit?
Thank you in advance for supplying me the information needed. Please include any other pertinent information concerning this unit. I look forward to further resolving this matter.

Electrolux Major Appliances, North America
Robin on 12/06/2011:
2 weeks after the warranty expires the entire stove quits working. After reading all the recalls and problems they are having, I'm afraid to have this stove in my house!!! How can I trust that after its fixed it will be safe?
mary on 05/31/2012:
We purchased a Frigidaire glass top range 4 years ago exactly. The other night the oven caught on fire. I didn't take out the extended warranty but am going to contact Electrolux anyway. I have never had a major appliance last only 4 years! The more I read of these complaints, it leads me to believe there are some major defects with this product. Dangerous too.

Very Poorly Made Appliances, Bad Warranties, Poor Customer Service
Posted by
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- We completely remodeled our home in 2006-2007 and purchased all matching Frigidaire kitchen and laundry appliances, all but one item came from Lowe's(our range hood was from Famous Tate's). To date, we have had repairs and breakdowns of every single product. Most seriously, our front-loading washer/dryer combo is an unbelievably poor appliance. The dryer, Model number LEQ1442ESO, catches clothing on the lint trap and ruins straps, ties, and tears clothes. It overheats regularly and leaves scorch marks on fabric or cuts off and doesn't dry at all. The case for the control panel at the top broke right after the warranty expired and has now detached completely from the machine and dangles by the wires. Most of the dryer cycles do not work and even before the control panel detached, all the lights blink and the machine beeps insanely and repeatedly whether the machine is drying or not. The only solution is to unplug the machine. We have had to have the machine serviced on multiple occasions for excessive lint build-up. The overheating is so serious, we check and clean the machine regularly and have pulled it away from the wall to prevent a fire hazard.
The matching Frigidaire washer is also a serious problem. Water damage from an interior leak has destroyed the barcode sticker so I am no longer able to read the model and serial numbers. Lowe's was not accommodating in helping us recover the model information. The washer filter gets clogged repeatedly and the drum retains water. The Drain/Rinse cycle does not work. The gasket leaked inside the door leading to a truly impressive display of rust on the washer door. The hinges are completely rusted and the bottom of the door, plus the door does not close by itself any longer and must be forced shut. The bottom panel beneath the door is completely rusted out. The first time I noticed the door sticking due to the rust, was when the plastic door handle snapped off in my hands under normal opening pressure. I now have to pry the door open with a screwdriver. As if this is not enough, the washer does not clean clothes properly and my whites never get white. Although I have yet to notice the mold problems mentioned by other consumers, I see the potential because the gasket does not drain properly and retains water between cycles--I always clean it out.
Frigidaire Stainless Dishwasher, Model FDB1500LFCO. Dishwasher has required multiple repairs. Spray arm becomes loose or dislodged and falls against the element, which then melts it requiring a replacement part. Filter is not effective and dirty water backs up inside the machine and leaks out the front. Dishwasher does not clean the dishes effectively even using premium products and rinse agent--glasses are regularly cloudy. (We do not have hard water). Most importantly, dishwasher chips and breaks plates\bowls and scratches cookware even when sparsely loaded. I have never owned a dishwasher that broke plates even occasionally and I currently have a 12 piece table setting that is more than 80% chipped. I will not purchase new plates while I still own this washer for fear of more expensive damage. Stainless cover shows excessive scratching...all I use is wipes or a soft sponge.
Frigidaire Side by Side Stainless Refrigerator Model Number FRS6LC8FS2. Plastic shelves chip, scratch, and crack under light cleaning. Fan motor is unbelievably loud and ice machine whines and grumbles. Door handles wiggle and will not hold flush to door even when adjusted. In-door water/ice dispensers are clouded and scratched after only 2 years of use. Stainless door panels show excessive wear after minimal use and light cleaning. Poor finish.
Frigidaire Ceramic-top Range Model FEFL796CA. Vented heat from inside stove has permanently discolored stainless control panel at top left. Vents at top of stove door do not prevent spilled fluid from entering sealed area between double glass fronts, resulting in unsightly drip marks we are unable to remove. Drawer slides on bottom oven drawer broken and non-functional. Both stainless and paint finishes are unacceptable--2 years of wear should not be enough to chip the paint and show scratches on the stainless areas.
I will estimate we spent $1800 on our refrigerator, $600 on our range, $300 on our dishwasher, and $700 on our washer/dryer combo. This is a grand total of approximately $3400 on Frigidaire appliances, none of which work properly or look aesthetically pleasing at the three year mark.
We are extremely disappointed and will NEVER purchase Frigidaire/Electrolux appliances ever again!
No satisfaction from the company, no help from Lowe's, only endless repairs and expensive parts. We estimate we've spent about an additional $500.00 on repairs and laundromat expenses so far. We are unable to replace our washer/dryer at this time and that is our most crucial complaint.
We've complained to the BBB and to various watchdog sites including this one. I will continue complaining. Appliances are not supposed to be disposable cheaply-made products. My last washer-dryer set (Maytag)lasted me 12 years and still worked and looked good enough to sell used when I was ready to upgrade. The retailer, Lowe's, should be ashamed of selling such a bad product. Electrolux should be lynched.
Anyone interested in starting a class action against Electrolux? How do we get started?

If your dryer is overheating, you need to check to make sure you have nothing obstructing your outgoing hose. The hot air is released through the accordion hose that goes outside your house from behind your dryer. Or that your heating element is not set to high.
I am curious as to why you never noticed rust forming on your washer? It takes a long time for metal to rust as bad as you claim yours is.
rheacreate on 10/14/2009:
The rust formed inside the paint finish and was not visible to the casual glance until the door started sticking. At that point, my husband examined the door and discovered the rust on the hinges (which are recessed) and when he took the bottom panel off, the entire interior of the panel is rusted. How often do you lay on your belly and look UP at the bottom of your washer door--especially if you have never had one rust out before in your entire life? Of course, this happened post-warranty, also.
As far as the dryer, we've had it serviced.....there is no obstruction and the outgoing hose is short and vents directly to an exterior wall. We don't use an accordion hose; it is a solid metal tube. The lint builds up inside the lint trap and can not be readily removed--even though we have a shopvac attachment to clean it out and do so regularly. Ours also blows lint out the door and underneath the machine into the space between the stacked units. Very unsafe design.
qualityappliance on 10/14/2009:
The problem with the dryer is without a doubt a venting problem and you could also have a bad front drum bearing, that's what is causing the marks.
The dishwasher could be a air gap problem, or one not installed.
rheacreate on 10/15/2009:
According to our repairman, there is no venting problem. He feels it is a problem with the computer brain or the element.
The dishwasher does have an airgap installed. I do not know what marks you are referring to.
steve on 07/02/2012:
Class actions only make a lot of money for the Lawyers and put a small strain on the manufacturers insurance company. There's got to be a better way.
Red on 04/26/2013:
I also have the same leak problem with my Model FDB1500LFCO dish washer. Water leaks out of the bottom left side of the unit and I'm not sure why. Also about a year ago the unit started to take about three days (joke) to go through a complete wash/dry cycle. No, joking aside, it would run and run forever and also make all kinds of squealing noises. This was in a normal wash mode so I tried various things as a possible remedy and found that in the eco wash mode the squealing went away (?) but it still ran an ungodly long time to complete a was/dry. First time I've ever had a unit give these type problems, but then again, this is the first time I've had a Frigidaire brand.

Paint is chipping off "Stainless Steel Appliance and Frigidaire Doesn't Care
Posted by
Spent a considerable amount of $ redoing our kitchen and made the mistake of choosing Frigidaire "Gallery" (as in more expensive) appliances. Stainless steel with black trim. After about two months of use, the black paint has started to chip off the front of the built in ceramic top range to reveal the white plastic underneath. Contacted the Canadian customer service no. listed in our manual and got a "customer service" person who could not speak English -- other than to repeat over and over again that there is no warranty on "cosmetic" problems with their appliances. Tried to speak to someone higher up but to no avail.
This was the first and obviously the last time I would EVER purchase anything made by Frigidaire/Electrolux. And I will do everything in my power to ensure that no one else I know makes that mistake either. So please, do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from Frigidaire/Electrolux products.

Unfortunately, if it's beyond warranty, there's little recourse for you with the company. Try a little black fingernail polish to hide the blemishes and try to be more careful with your pots and pans.

My New Frigidaire Range Is Disgusting!
Posted by
Burners and oven!
I need a range that does not take an hour to come to temp in the oven. Or a 1/2 an hour to bring water or food or preserves to a boil! This demented range does! The booklet that came with the range says "start with hot water" to get it to boil! A waste of the most needed substance we have for our existence is water. I do not run a diner for the public but do need the damn thing to let me cook. Recently I had the dinner ready and all needed to complete the meal was to broil some garlic bread! Fat chance to not have to wait a long time.
Again the book (it eliminates common sense) it says heat the broiler for 5 minutes than broil item. I had to fry the bread in a cast iron skillet in order for the bread to be done and served with the meal.
Frigidaire has been a reliable company to get appliances. Now I am sick to have bought this relic that seems to think all house cooks are stupid and have hours to get a simple meal on the table.
I prepare biscuits (from scratch) and have to wait 1 hour to get the correct temp and then instead of the usual time of the baking it takes 10 to 15 more baking time to get them as wanted. 435 Degrees

I am by no means an "appliance expert," but having to start with hot water for to get boiled water seems nuts ! I'll steer clear of this brand name for sure!

Bad Customer Service... They Lie
Posted by
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- OK. I made a mistake and put foil on the bottom of oven (element is hidden) and it melted...I read the manual and found where it said not to do it. So, my fault. Fine. I cleaned the oven as much as I could and by doing so, took the coating off the oven racks so now pizza sticks to them. So, I called customer care and they told me to coat them with oil and put in oven and season them. I did as they told me to and it caught fire. I called them back, and asked the same question, and was told to do the same. I then told them that is what I was told last time and my oven caught on fire. They then denied that they told me to do it and then said they had no record of my call. They will not have a repair center come out to clean my oven because it is not broken. Even though, I bought the 2 year extended warranty. I even gave them a case number for both calls. They deny it exist. I will never, EVER buy from them again. EVER! They won't even sell me new racks. And they should have a LARGE warning about using foil in the oven. I wish we could buy and have America back. And all this happened on the 4th of July, my entire family had to leave the house and go out in the heat until the house was clear from smoke.
I called back to have get a service call, and they would not even give me the phone #'s of the companies that service my area. They said my oven was not under warranty, even though I bought it in February 2010. And why would I have to call to make a service repair. Don't they do that?

Even if this was your fault, that is terrible customer service. But I have to say that I never heard of foil melting. Even if it was directly on the element, I'm having a hard time picturing melted foil. How hot was the temperature?
My grandfather used to throw potatoes wrapped in foil directly into a bonfire and the foil would just char, not melt. And if you put the foil on the bottom on the oven, how did it get on the racks? Maybe I'm just not getting this, but the least they should have done was sold you new racks. It sounds like they don't want to have anything to do with you, regardless of the warranty.
nsrmom on 07/05/2010:
I know. It's weird. It was just reg rewnolds wrap. I placed it on the bottom because I was cooking a pizza and wanted to catch the mess. Normally I would put it on the rack below the pizza but I had taken it out to clean. Never would have thought to not put foil directly on the bottom, but if you look in the manual, it does say it. Not bold and not obvious, but it does. It was just set at 350. Cooking a reg frozen pizza....that really was not the big deal. Yea, it pissed me off, but my fault. What made me mad was when I called and asked what to do about my racks. When I cleaned then with soap and water the pizza stuck to it. So, I cleaned of the coating. I called and she said to season it the way you would a cast iron skillet. So, I did. I greased the heck out of it, but it in oven and turned it on 200 and POOF, FIRE, in my OVEN....Smoke all over house. 4th of July....was not a good day! Very upset with them.
nsrmom on 07/05/2010:
Ohhh, I did send them this review...and I got an answer by email pretty freaking fast. Even on the 4th. Still does not say they were wrong in telling me to light my oven on fire but they said they were sorry....Sorry does not fix my 5 month old oven!!!!! And I will be forwarding this to them as well.
Venice09 on 07/05/2010:
It really is weird. It wouldn't occur to me not to put foil on the bottom either, but I have a gas stove and don't know if that makes a difference. Not everyone has the owners manual. If an appliance is bought second hand or passed down, sometimes there is no manual. That information should be printed somewhere inside the oven because I don't think most people would know not to put foil on the bottom. And 350 is not very hot.
What happened with the racks is also strange. I realize oil can ignite, but not such a small amount and at only 200 degrees. Maybe something else caused the fire, but I can't imagine what.
I'm sorry this happened to you and especially on a holiday, but I have definitely learned something from your experience. I will never again put foil on the bottom of my oven, just in case.
I think Frigidaire should do whatever it takes to fix your stove since it is under warranty. Even if you made a mistake with the foil, they compounded that by giving you bad advice, not once but twice!
nsrmom on 07/06/2010:
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. The first time I did the racks I thought I used to much grease. So the next time I used very little and kept the temp low and watched. It smoked very fast and suddenly, poof. It was all so fast. I don't get it. There is no element so the
Grease did not fall on direct hot element? But, a repair center called me today to make apt. And I have been overwhelmed with emails from them. I am waiting till tomorrow when I can call while all supervisors are in the office. You really don't want to talk to me when I'm upset and I'm in the right. The oven catching fire twice and all the damage to food and racks is bad but what makes me so upset is I bought THIS oven because of the hidden element and self clean and smooth top. Before with kids my oven was always so dirty. And now its not even 6
Months old and it's burnt and scorched. I hope they do fix it or replace it. Thanks again.

Strange Venting Issue
Posted by
We've had the Frigidaire 4000 Series dishwasher since Aug. '08. We noticed water dripping into the basement below the kitchen. We've checked every pipe and drain and can only find water in one location - below the dishwasher.
We've had two repair people out. The first was stumped. The second explained he had seen the problem with this model before. Instead of venting the steam out the front it vents it directly underneath the counter inside the cabinet. Which then runs down the cabinet sides and collects under the unit.
It smells underneath - and mold is growing on the wall under the sink next to the dishwasher. It's hard to tell how much damage has actually be done.
He says there is nothing he can do about it. Has anyone else run into this and is there a way to solve the problem?
We're had 3 repairmen out. A report was issued by at least one to Frigidaire. I had the CSR (who almost speaks English) read it to me. After discussing the problem, which apparently has no cure other than replace this unit with one unit that vents properly into the room, the tech ended his report with "job complete". I TRIED to explain to the CSR that "job complete" doesn't mean it was fixed, his "job complete" at the end of the report means he had done all he could, diagnosed the problem, documented the problem, and he was done. Send me the check.
I couldn't get through at all. I asked if I could speak with someone who spoke English as a first language and was not transferred to someone in the USA. Currently the issue is still open. They claim to be contacting the repair company but this is the second day they put me though the same runaround.
I'm to the point where instead of just asking them to replace the unit I'm ready to consider a small claims case for the floor damage and the mold problems they've created in addition to the defectively designed dishwasher. This company is frustrating! Why can't they hire people who understand English? Why did they come up with this nutty product design!

Repeated problems with eoc/clock
Posted by
WENONAH, NEW JERSEY -- I have had the eoc/clock replaced three times on my range because of various problems. When this part malfunctions anything can happen.
At first it would beep for no reason or display error codes. At times it would get to hot. The oven would turn off in the middle of baking. The lock mechanism would run for no reason locking the oven. The worst was when it started to turn itself on.
I bought the range in 2001. I had it repaired in 2002, 2003, and 2004. For the repair in 2004 they used a different eoc/clock. I was told I wouldn't have this problem again.
Now its three and a half years later and its happened again. Last week my dinner burned in only ten minutes. Then it started making weird clicking noises. A couple of days later it turned itself off. The day after that I was pre-heating it when the locking mechanism began to run. I unplugged it and plugged it back in after a couple of minutes. It started running again. I tried to open the oven and to my surprise it opened. But now I can't shut the door because the lock is stuck out and it won't reset itself.
My oven is useless and I refuse to ever trust this oven again.
Frigidair/ Electrolux was very kind in the past, replacing the part free of charge but this time I haven't gotten a response. It doesn't matter because I am shopping for a new range and it won't be a Frigidair.
I have read other cases on the internet of ovens with similar problems. Anyone experiencing any unusual with their oven should keep it unplugged when not in use. It is an accident waiting to happen.

Customer Service
Posted by
TAMARAC, FLORIDA -- I purchased this range in May, 2007; used the oven 2 times on the second use the range went berserk; overheated, causing foil that was covering a roast to melt and adhere to the bottom of the range, ruining my dinner and causing me to flip the breaker for fear of fire. What's worse is Frigidaire's customer service is located somewhere in Manila and India. Could not get anyone to understand. Then the repair person; who showed up without one tool; didn't even know how to operate the stove.
I went through Christmas and New Years' without cooking. Buyer beware. If I had it to do all over again, NO MORE FRIGIDAIRE PRODUCTS. Very slow on warranty repairs. Customer service is appalling!

That is unacceptable in my opinion.I feel some compensation is in order.To send out a technician that doesn't know how to operate the unit he is going out to service is mind bottling(a little "Blades of Glory" humor).

I have been dealing with a repair to my window AC unit and have been on the phone now for over an hour and a half! Time spent both on hold and being redirected to THREE different numbers. Ridiculous!
The service facility I brought the unit to has been unresponsive and has had the unit for almost two months. Now that I'm dealing with them I can see why!
I'll NEVER buy another Frigidair product.

how does foil melt to the bottom of the range, did you have foil at the bottom of the range???

Never Ever Buy FRIGIDAIRE !!!
Posted by
LEWISBURG, TENNESSEE -- We purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher and convection range on 08/23/2006. After only 6 mos. the dishwasher quit. The electronics system had to be replaced. That took 2 weeks to get resolved. Now for the BIGGIE
At approximately 8:30 PM on Aug 29th 2007, we heard what sounded like a small explosion in the kitchen. It sounded like the entire kitchen had caved in. We went in to see that the outer glass door on our range had blown out, sending glass frying into the entire kitchen area. There was no reason for this to occur. It had not been used at all that day. If anyone had been standing in the area, they could have been seriously injured. The glass on the floor was actually popping like popcorn. Glass continued to fly out until 11:00 PM. Still flying out the next morning also. I have contacted the company. After being on hold approx. 12 minutes, I explained the situation and was told they would have to call me back concerning this matter.
We have managed to clean up most of it but there is still glass hanging in the door which continues to fall out if we walk next to it. I am very concerned that this could happen to someone else having small children, and I felt it necessary to report this incident.
UPDATE: 8/30/07 -I had to call them back. Basically, I had no luck. But I did call the local repairman to get his opinion as to what could have caused this to happen. Still waiting in Tn. and glass is still shooting out of the door across the kitchen. Have cleaned entire floor 4 times so far today. I refuse to do ANYTHING until the repairman see it.

Glass was flying out?
was the covection fan on while the glass was shooting out?
I've heard of glass doors shattering,but not flying out,that's crazy.
Is this still covered under a warranty?
moneybags on 08/30/2007:
This really needs to be reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission! NOW!
twinjj on 08/31/2007:
Warranty expired on aug 23. Yes I have reported it to product safety commission. It had not even been on at all the entire day. It is still spitting glass, in fact up to 8 feet away.

Horrible Products!
Posted by
We've had both a Frigidaire dishwasher and range. Problems with each started within the first month and continued from there. Some problems were clearly from poor design such as the dishwasher hose developing a hole due to the door mechanism hitting it, or shoddy products such as an oven element blowing apart which fried the electronic boards after only a few uses. Customer service is horrible with the representatives' only goal being to find any way possible to deny claims. Stay away from Frigidaire products!

McLaren releases astonishing P1 performance figures
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Feb 26th, 2013 at 4:00AM
McLaren took the wraps off its upcoming P1 supercar nearly five months ago at the Paris Motor Show, but the automaker refused to release details about its interior, powerplant or performance – those juicy details would all have to wait. Yet after a private showing in New York, followed by another exclusive event in Beverly Hills, McLaren began to slowly trickle out information about the P1's instrument cluster and passenger cabin, before finally disclosing its 903 horsepower hybrid powerplant earlier this month. Finally, after much speculation, McLaren has revealed the last piece of... Read More

- Asymptotische Statistik (1) (remove)
- Numerical Contributions to the Asymptotic Theory of Robustness (2005)
- In the framework of this dissertation a software package – the R bundle RobASt – by means of the statistics software R has been developed. It includes all robust procedures introduced throughout the thesis. The dissertation itself consists of five parts and starts with a brief motivation, which makes precise why robust statistics is necessary. After that a detailed summary in German and English is given. Part I provides a description of the asymptotic theory of robustness (Chapter 1) which forms the basis of this thesis. It is based on Chapters 4 and 5 of Rieder (1994). Chapter 2 provides supplements to the asymptotic theory of robustness which have proved necessary for this thesis. More precisely, it contains results about: properties of the optimally robust influence curves (ICs), how one should proceed in an optimal way if the neighborhood radius is unknown – as mostly in practice, and the construction of estimates by means of the one-step method. At the end of Chapter 2 convergence of robust models is introduced which is related to the concept of convergence of experiments of Le Cam. Part II deals with optimally robust estimators for some non-standard models in robust statistics. These models are covered by the R package ROptEst which makes use of S4 classes and methods and is part of the R bundle RobASt. More precisely, the binomial (Chapter 3) and Poisson (Chapter 4) model, the exponential scale and Gumbel location model (Chapter 5) as well as the Gamma model (Chapter 6) are investigated. In particular, the binomial and Poisson model are used to study convergence of robust models. Using exponential scale and Gumbel location one can show that there is a connection between certain scale and location models via a log-transformation which also holds for the corresponding optimally robust ICs. Finally, the Gamma model is used to demonstrate how differentiable parameter transformations can be estimated in an optimally robust way. In Part III robust regression with random regressor and unknown error scale (Chapter 7) is treated where it is distinguished between simultaneous and separate estimation. In both cases the optimally robust estimators as well as robust estimators for several narrower classes of M estimators are considered. All these estimators are implemented in the R packages ROptRegTS and RobRex which are part of the R bundle RobASt. Numerical comparisons for several regressor distributions show that the various suboptimal M estimators may have very small but also huge efficiency losses. A further comparison of these and several other well-known robust estimators in case of normal location and scale is made in Chapter 8. These location and scale estimators are implemented in the R package RobLox which is part of the R bundle RobASt. In Part IV (Chapter 9) robust adaptivity in terms of two asymptotic MSE problems is defined. Hence, adaptivity is no longer only a dichotomous criterion but can be evaluated quantitatively in terms of efficiency loss. The various regression and time series models considered include models which are classically as well as robust-adaptive, models which are classically but not robust-adaptive, and finally models which are neither classically nor robust-adaptive. The numerical evaluations show that non-adaptivity depends in a crucial way on the considered model and may be very small in some models (e.g. AR(1) and MA(1)) but may be really huge in other models (e.g. ARCH(1)). Finally, in Part V (Chapter 10 – 12) asymptotic results are compared with their exact finite-sample counterparts. In case of a particular pseudo-loss function in terms of under-/overshoot probabilities an exact finite-sample as well as an asymptotic theory are available. As the analytic evaluation of the finite-sample risk turns out very difficult or even impossible for sample sizes larger than 2, algorithms based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) have been developed to determine the exact finite-sample distribution of these differently robust estimators. Two interesting findings are: The (first order) asymptotics is too optimistic and the convergence towards the asymptotic values is better in case of total variation than in case of contamination neighborhoods. The appendix of this thesis contains supplementary results on the asymptotic theory of robustness for regression-type models (Appendix A), on the Kronecker product and the vec and vech operators (Appendix B) as well as on the convolution via FFT (Appendix C). Moreover, Appendix D provides a brief description of the R packages distrEx, RandVar, ROptEst and ROptRegTS which are part of the R bundle RobASt.

Many individuals and organizations contributed to the development of this technology plan. The Office of Educational Technology played a key role throughout the planning process and in the preparation of the final report. Special thanks are due to the assistant secretaries, senior staff, and members of the Department of Education's technology team.
Seven regional forums brought together more than a thousand parents, teachers, business leaders, technology experts and researchers. These citizens submitted documents, made public statements, engaged in broad-ranging discussions, and provided us with a diverse tapestry of ideas, experiences, and concerns from regions all across America. The forums in Denver, Colorado; San Francisco, California; San Antonio, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri; Seattle, Washington; White Plains, New York; and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania would not have been possible without the assistance of the secretary's regional representatives.
The Department also wants to make special note of the suggestions of more than 400 educators and Technology industry leaders across the country who participated in a three-month on-line discussion of issues central to the plan. One unique aspect of this on-line conversation was a discussion by students organized and overseen by Montgomery Blair High School in Maryland; another was an on-line discussion for parents, directed by a parent and supported by the Consortium for School Networking. We are grateful to the suggestions from all these participants and believe this document reflects their concerns.
In addition, teams of educators and leaders from 50 states participated in the Secretary's Conference on Educational Technology, "Making It Happen," and they provided a rich source of ideas and experiences that shaped our vision and helped us articulate specific goals and action steps for the federal government, states, local communities, higher education, and the private sector.
The National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIIAC) -- charged with promoting the development of the Information Superhighway -- produced its final report in January 1996, entitled KickStart Initiative: Connecting America's Communities to the Information Superhighway. KickStart and the council's deliberations provided important ideas and analysis for this plan.
Several outside organizations and contractors provided particular assistance in the development of this plan. The RAND Corporation's Critical Technologies Institute organized four workshops with leading experts and practitioners that focused on the dynamics of the software market; the barriers to professional development; the elements of planning and financing school technology and connectivity; and the impact of technology-supported student learning. More than 70 experts participated and their contributions were extremely valuable. RAND also compiled written summaries of the workshops, commissioned several additional papers, and prepared a final report on the elements of a national strategy. These reports, listed below, are publicly available. The Widmeyer Group conducted several citizen focus groups, and the American Institutes for Research assisted in the preparation of the written document. Carter/Cosgrove and Company was responsible for producing this document.
Finally, the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Education and Training and its National Plan Working Group also made significant contributions.
The following reports of the RAND Corporation's Critical Technologies Institute are available by contacting RAND distribution services at (310) 451-7002 (voice), (310) 451-6915 (fax), or email@example.com (electronic mail). They are also available online at http://www.ed.gov/ Technology/Plan/.

IOffer Poor Sellers Poor Service
Posted by
RIVER ROUGE, MICHIGAN -- I would not recommend iOffer to anyone. I ordered a rear movie, "Bird of Paradise", put in the credit card information clicked all the way to the end. I get an email that say, "Thank you for your order it will be shipped in 5 to 8 days." Then I get emails to confirm payment. I email the seller and asked what's up with that, I already put all my credit card information in. This back and forth went on for three emails and then I got a rather rude email from the seller, Lisa/filmclassics4u2, telling me they don't know what I am talking about after I explained it three times and in caps, "DO NOT REPORT THIS AS A PROBLEM just send the message here at IOffer. When you report a problem sellers items are dumped in searches. I won't have any sales for that day. So I click on the link to respond to her and it does nothing, it goes nowhere. As far as I am concerned, she was rude and no help what so ever. I believe you have to use PayPal but when I went to buy the item, it said nothing about PayPal and took all my credit card information. Yet, the seller, sending me numerous emails just didn't have a clue what was going on, didn't understand what I was saying and was obviously to uninformed to guide me in the right direction.
So if you want your credit card information out there and one big run around, go ahead and use this site. I order a different movie the same day from Amazon.com and received it 5 days later no muss no fuss. iOffer is a fly by night site with sellers that don't have a brain in their heads.

IOffer allow delinquents to post as legitimate sellers. iOffer is a scam
Posted by
CALIFORNIA -- IOffer is a scam run by street gangs delinquents that take no responsibility for the quality or honesty of their sellers. I purchase a pair of boots from their site at the cost of $218. after a few days of not getting any information from the seller I contacted Pay pay for a refund. I was told that as long as I have a tracking number they wouldn't give a refund. After 3 weeks I receive a box with a pair of USED old boots "not before I have to sign for the delivery"
I contacted iOffer but they never had giving me an answer as to why they let this delinquents post on their site!. iOffer is as guilty as the delinquent that run freely under their control on their site, posting as legitimate business when in fact are a bunch of the thief protected by iOffer.
In retaliation of my complains iOffer had deleted all my notes/complains from their site, and had put my account under review because of the complain.
On the last note from iOffer they informed me the seller has been suspended from iOffer for "violating iOffer's policies" but that I should contact the seller for a refund (pathetic) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't recommend this site anybody, you are much better protected at E-bay. There If you purchase an item and you pay with Pay pal they an the item is not as describe Pay pal will refund your money, but they do not cover you if you purchase an item in any other site.
My recommendation is never to use iOffer.. they are a bunch delinquents that protect other delinquents.

I never heard of this site. I would not buy clothing or boots from people I do not know. You never know what you are going to get as you found out.
Skye on 10/03/2010:
I don't know why you think the site is run by a bunch of street gang delinquents, but from what I've read, anyone can use the site to buy, sell or trade.
What did the description of the boots say? Did they ad say they were brand new? If they did, but you received used boots, you have options, according to the page of terms and conditions. Read through it. Hopefully you can resolve this issue.
jktshff1 on 10/03/2010:
Never heard of them either, but they seem to be on top of things suspending the seller, and explaining your options. Their responsibilities are clearly spelled out in their "User Agreement" and seem pretty clear.

Just Be Careful!
Posted by
CALIFORNIA -- Ioffer has had a lot of customer complaints. However, I have bought two things from there, no problems. A lot of sellers are from China (which I was uninformed on this when purchasing a "Gucci" purse from there.) and other countries outside the U.S.
Of course, a lot of their things listed are FAKES, and being resold on eBay, because people are unaware of the fact that they are buying fakes. But one way to tell you have a fake, ask for the serial number. If you type that serial number in google, and it lists a bunch of DIFFERENT purses, then you know it's a replica. No two purses (or whatever has a serial number) should be the same. Another red flag of a replica is when you google the serial number, and REPLICA WEBSITES showing the same serial number with different purses show up. (: hehe just remember the saying: if it's too good to be true, it probably is. remember, that if someone bought a $1,000 Chanel purse, why would they sell it for only $100?
You just have to watch your back on Ioffer. ALWAYS check the feedback. To make sure I'm safe, I even read negative feedback. If there is any feedback from someone who hasn't received their item, I wouldn't buy.
There are a lot of scammers, but there are also a lot of honest sellers. You just have to be careful. Always ask questions before you buy. Do your research on the buyer. and always know the product you're buying (to ensure you don't get a FAKE.)

Very helpful review. Cool tip about googling the serial numbers too!
Anonymous on 09/29/2009:
Good info, but I got to correct you here: "No two purses (or whatever has a serial number) should be the same." The truth is seriel numbers are recycled all the time. So it is possible for a purse and a chain saw to have the same number.
As for purses. Most people don't know real from fake. That's why Coach and LV are flooded with counterfeits right now.
PepperElf on 09/29/2009:
you're buying something dirt cheap from China and you're surprised that it was fake?
China is a mecca of fake goods
believe me, I've been there
fionaflyby21 on 09/29/2009:
Don't rule out all luxury handbags made in China. You may be surprised to learn that many top designers have elected to have their bags crafted and/or assembled in China. One example is Coach, which btw also manufactures their bags in India, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Mauritius, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan & Turkey (and U.S.) The country of origin is not a good indicator of whether a bag is fake. Also, many designers do not use serial numbers - that went out a couple decades ago for many mainstream designers and have adapted some form of a registration system that allows a bag to be "tagged" with a registration number which is a series of numbers that denotes its date of production (or more commonly the month & year), the plant where it was assembled and includes a style number and possibly a color code. Thousands of handbags can share identical registration numbers because thousands of bags pass through production in any given month or season. As for IOffer.com - they may prefer not to police the activity unless that are required to do so, by law, just due to the cost of managing a team that will oversee products in categories that far exceed luxury handbags. Counterfeits have hit every market from Duracell batteries to video games.
When it comes to cracking down on fake purses, so far only eBay and a few other larger retailers have tried to comply with LV, Coach, Prada, and other designers to pull listings that appear to be fake. The designers have teams of people in the fraud dept that can notify the website that a listing is fake and it is usually pulled. Although eBay seems to be flooded with fakes, it does have a plan in place and a system that allows members to report suspected fraudulent listings... but with the hundreds of thousands of designer handbags listed at their site on any given day - the task is daunting and there is no way it can be truly policed. Know what you are buying before spending your hard earned cash - and the old saying that "if it is too good to be true..." certainly seems to fit in this case.

Terrible site, illegal
Posted by
I just read a review from Mommyhaven, and I absolutely agree.
I am a member of eBay and I was surfing around for other sites to buy and sell on, when I ran across Ioffer. what a mistake that was.
I bought some items from a certain individual only to find after posting them on eBay that they were illegal.
well eBay pulled them and I waslivid.
I value my good name on eBay.
well I wrote several letters to customer service in Ioffer to no avail. UNBELIEVABLE, customer service didn't respond and neither did the person that I bought from.
I still have 20.00 on account there just incase I was going to sell something but after that, I asked for the money back to no avail. I can't even terminate my account!!!
well 1 month later I wejnt into Ioffer and wrote all kinds of bad feedback on the person that sold me 470.00 worth of illegal items and said " you have your items back, I want my money back to no avail.
Finally they left me bad feedback and called me LOCO for saying that items were illegal.
I inturn got to leave the whole story for all to see and they refunded total amount.
I got very Lucky
Now all I have to do is find away to get out of the illegal hell whole.
thanks for reading this long letter but I felt that good people need to know to stay away.

What as it? The person who is responsible for researching the law on the legality of what they sell is the seller. If you buy something illegal you are the one at fault. Keep in mind, that Ebay and Ioffer, and the rest of them, have a blanket policy on prohibited items.
Just because something is illegal in Alabama doesn't make it illegal in California. However, if it IS illegal anywhere in the US, you can't sell it on the US site. If it is legal overseas, you have to list on one of the international sites.
Some of Ebay's prohibited items are downright ignorant. Ebay has become stupid to the point of mentally deficient.
PepperElf on 09/29/2009:
what? you expected eBay to keep your illegal sale up because you didn't know the law?
stole my money on 11/26/2012:
the seller had good feedback so I thought it would be OK to use. I never received my goods and they took my $150. if anyone knows who the seller greatsalemall is on Ioffer, please get my $150 and turn them into the authorities!!

Safe Haven for Criminals
Posted by
iOffer is a safe haven for criminals. They allow individuals to sign up for multiple accounts, then buy from themselves to seem credible. People that can't make a profit from fraud on eBay jump to iOffer because it protects them. iOffer administration is hands-off. They feel that their TOS puts the transactions in the hands of the users--which it does, but really, can't they do some sort of IP tracking? Make sure an IP address doesn't purchase from itself or sign up for several accounts?

I totally agree with your comments. Stay far away from the Ioffer site. They either don't have their act together or they really don't care what goes on at the site.... Thanks
Anonymous on 09/29/2009:
OK. Let me put this in terms that everyone can understand. If you go to a yard sale and buy something crappy. Who is at fault? What do you think the mortgage holder would do for you? Or a flea market. Who is going to be to blame cause the dude in the booth in front of you sold you fake glasses?
Ioffer, Ebay, Epier etc...they are ALL venues. The people who are the crooks, are the individual buyers and sellers. Your beef is with them.
Now, let me just say that BUYERS are the blame for the rampart fraud on these sites. Ya'll complained about feedback, policy, shipping, delivery, price, etc until ran off all the honest sellers and all you have left is the crooks. Sucks doesn't it? Deal with it.
TheTimvh1 on 07/06/2013:
I'll bet you (Anonymous) are a person from Ioffer who just wants to legitimize your illegal dealings by comparing yourselves to legal venues. Ioffer and Ebay are not the same thing. For example, I found a so-called "Darkwing Duck" complete series on Ioffer (which I did not buy). There is no such release by disney. Only a volume 1 and 2. So by trying to legitimize yourself by comparing yourself to legal venues, that is just a bunch of hogwash. Thank you.

On February 17, 2007 I saw an add on iOffer I saw Cartier glasses being offered at a good price. I have contacted the seller via internet and he told me to send him $100.00 via Western Union and he will send me the glasses. Money was wired to him the next day and as of today I still do not have the product I have paid for. I have contacted iOffer several times but have not heard back from them yet.
I am sure I am not the only one who has been scammed out of their money, this advertisement is nationwide. Do not have anything to do with firstname.lastname@example.com.

First clue you were about to be scammed: Western Union.
shawnp80 on 04/17/2007:
Yep. Kiss the hundred bucks bye-bye and when they ask for more money don't give it to them.
Ponie on 04/17/2007:
Our local police department occasionally publishes articles in area newspapers and/or holds meetings on Internet scams. One of the first things they mention: If payment is requested via Western Union--just say 'No!'
MRM on 04/17/2007:
Excuse me for being unknowledgeable since I've never used the service, but how does Western Union work and how is it vulnerable to scam artists?
mmm_d0nuts on 11/07/2008:
Yup, your problem was Western Union. It is NOT safe and secure at all for online purchases, especially dealing with strangers.
It works by wiring money from bank account, or in-person to pay the money. Then the fund is transferred. That's not a lot you can due to track it or anything.
So it has nothing to do with iOffer. I've been using it for a while and it works well for me. Just be careful who you deal with. There's people like that all over the web.
Anonymous on 09/29/2009:
MRM, WU is unrecoverable. Once you wire the money it is gone. So many people just don't use common sense when it comes to online auction shopping. I am too tired for a tutorial so google online auction scams and get up to speed before you shop. You can have great shopping experiences, IF you protect yourself BEFORE.

Bootleg DVD copies (USUALLY POOR COPY)
Posted by
PALOMINAS -- I have tried, without success, to determine whether or not "Ioffer" is attempting to seel bootleg, i.e., illegal DVD copies of fims.
DO NOT DEAL WITH ANY COMPANY WHICH SAME REFUSES TO RESPOND TO A LEGITIMATE INQUIRY. Any purchaser of such copy could be prosecuted by the Feds!

Reposting this in here because in theory this should be the thread to best acquire suggestions for videos that would make good material for a Tosh.0 bit:
A friend of mine is up for a writing job on the Tosh.0 show but she's requested my help writing the stuff she needs to submit because apparently she's not as good at being incredibly mean as me. Personally I don't like the show, most of the jokes aren't really jokes, but I wanna help her out. One of the things we have to submit is to find a video they haven't already had on the show and a series of jokes to go along with it. I'm gonna post this in the Next Time You Try To Look Hot thread too, but if any of you have any suggestions for videos that you think would be good material please post or PM a link. Thanks.

Triangular-shaped structures are not uncommon in Japan since space on the island is very limited. Although they look tiny and restricted on the outside, these homes are often incredibly spacious, and the double story Horinouchi house is no exception.
The open plan lower level is reserved for private rooms and the kitchen, while the upper level is used communally. With windows flanking each end of the home and skylights cut out of the angled roof, every inch of the minimalist abode is penetrated with daylight. Space is becoming one of the world's most coveted commodities, but if we all lived with a little more Japanese efficiency, there would be more to go around!

Dude where is the bathroom? And description is wrong, its obvious from photos bedroom is on ground level and kitchen living room on 1st floor, and the lil kids prison room on 2nd thats too funny.

This is a perfect example of "thinking outside the box"! Where most architects would have said:"Impossible" one saw an opportunity to challenge himself in using the few square meters he had with on top of it, a weird lot shape.
