A leading bankruptcy attorney representing hedge funds and money managers told ABC News Saturday that Steve Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration's Auto Industry Task Force, threatened one of the firms, an investment bank, that if it continued to oppose the administration's Chrysler bankruptcy plan, the White House would use the White House press corps to destroy its reputation.
The White House and a spokesperson for the investment bank in question challenged the accuracy of the story.
"The charge is completely untrue," said White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton, "and there's obviously no evidence to suggest that this happened in any way."
Thomas Lauria, Global Practice Head of the Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Group at White & Case, told ABC News that Rattner suggested to an official of the boutique investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners that officials of the Obama White House would embarrass the firm for opposing the Obama administration plan, which President Obama announced Thursday, and which requires creditors to accept roughly 29 cents on the dollar for an estimated $6.8 billion owed by Chrysler.
Lauria first told the story, without naming Rattner, to Frank Beckmann on Detroit's WJR-AM radio.
Perella Weinberg Partners, Lauria said, "was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under the threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That's how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence."
A Perella Weinberg Partners spokesperson told ABC News on Sunday that "The firm denies Mr. Lauria's account of events."* The spokesperson would not elaborate.
Perella Weinberg Partners, which owned Chrysler debt through its Xerion Fund, was one of Lauria's clients in this bankruptcy, but no longer is. The firm is led by Joseph Perella. On Thursday afternoon — after the Wedneday deadline — the portfolio manager for the Xerion fund decided to join the larger four creditors who are owed roughly 70% of Chrysler's debt and had already agreed to participate with the administration's plan.
Those four financial institutions – JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs — are recipients of up to $100 billion in federal government bailout funds, though the Obama administration insists the matters were kept completely separate.
Someone familiar with the Perella Weinberg Partners' portfolio manager's thinking told ABC News that the decision to go along with the government plan "was based on an assessment of investment risk and reward and nothing else."
Lauria said his clients "are mainly fiduciaries for pension plans, college endowments, retirement plans and credit unions who invested in low yield supposedly very secure first lien debt" with Chrysler.
President Obama singled out Lauria's clients for criticism when he announced the Chrysler plan on Thursday.
"While many stakeholders made sacrifices and worked constructively, I have to tell you some did not," the president said. "In particular, a group of investment firms and hedge funds decided to hold out for the prospect of an unjustified taxpayer-funded bailout. They were hoping that everybody else would make sacrifices, and they would have to make none."
Lauria said the president's assertion that his clients weren't willing to make any sacrifice is false. The clients were willing to take 50 cents on the dollar from Chrysler for their debt, he said.
President Obama also said of Lauria's clients, "I don't stand with them. I stand with Chrysler's employees and their families and communities. I stand with Chrysler's management, its dealers, and its suppliers. I stand with the millions of Americans who own and want to buy Chrysler cars. I don't stand with those who held out when everybody else is making sacrifices."
"He stands my clients up as basically the reason Chrysler is going into bankruptcy," Lauria said. "He wrongly says they're not willing to make any sacrifice. And then he says he does not stand with us."
Lauria said the president saying he doesn't stand with his clients "kind of sounds like 'You're fair game.' In whatever sense. People are scared. They have gotten death treats. Some have been told people are going to come to their houses. God forbid if some nut did something, I'm just wondering how the president would feel."
The Miami area-based attorney describes himself as an independent, and says after waiting in line for six hours last November he ended up not voting in the presidential election. He donated $10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 2008 and $1,000 to then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, in 2006.

Actually you can get EV suits for FREE if you replay some of the DS9 missions. Just collect as many as you need and put them into the bank until its play time.
I am not the biggest fan of the whole New Romulus mission set up thus far but I thought that was because I am level 50 and hence I am not entitled to standard missions anymore? Are there actual missions for anyone under level 50 like the one's mentioned by starkaos?
I wish there was more missions for lvl 50 players. Happy New Years btw!

This concealer offers great coverage and lasts all day. I like that it is a treatment formula, however, I did not notice that it helped to clear up any blemishes. It may work better for dark circles as the description implies, but it is a little pricey for a concealer that won't clear my skin.4

Newbie question - can't see my work!
mommydOctober 21, 2008
I am a knitter turned needlepointer/cross-stitcher, but I'm having a problem. With knitting, I had no problem working on my lap or seeing what I was doing. But I am doing my first needlepointing project - a very small 14 mesh pattern - and it's very hard to see my work over my lap.
Do most people put something white (towel, pillowcase, etc.) on their lap when they work? Maybe because it's a looser mesh, I can see through it more. I really enjoy it, but I need some ideas!
Thank you so much for your help!

I love the style of them, they don't take up a lot of room on my kitchen counters. The canister set is very well made, arrived in excellent shape. BUT, I wanted a true red to match some other red items I have for accents in my kitchen, they are not. They should be called beet red or blood red. But I love them enough anyway to keep them. Just be aware of the color before ordering.
Brought a touch of class and finished off the look I was going for.
Great quality - it went well with my clients decor
I was going to exchange the canister set until I actually saw them. Loved them.
I bought the white set and I love them! I read in past reviews that some have had trouble with them sealing, mine seal very well. They came packed well, no problems, the sizes were as expected and class up my kitchen. Great product!
When I receive the canister the tip of it was broken. I was too irritated to send it back. I love the look of it but very displeased of the quality.
I really love the look of this set! I have to agree with the other reviewer that in this picture it happens to look like a brighter red than it actually is, but it's not too far off. It's a nice red but not like dark dark or anything. It will match my other red stuff quite well. Very nice product!
The red color is not as true red as it looks. The knob /handle on top of the large one is crooked. I kept them but would not recommend them.

Giving two choices that result in the same positive outcome is a way to help the parent stay calm, be consistent, and allow for the child to still feel in control because they are making the choice for themselves.
When you practice this, state "It is your choice to ____________ or to ______________. Which one are you going to pick?" Make sure both options will result in the desired and positive outcome. Repeat the choices and phrase again, if needed. If there is still a struggle you can say, "I am going to count to 3 and you can choose to _____________ or to ____________." You can also state further reminders like, "You can choose or I will help you." If at 3 the child still hasn't chosen to follow through with what you've stated you can ask them to find some space or let them know what the consequence is, depending on the situation.
It always helps to have both parents onboard using this language because the child will learn what the expectation is. It's important to use simple phrases and help the child problem solve through the task at hand, preventing it from becoming a repetitive behavior.
You may need to use this technique with different behaviors but the idea is basic:
1.) You are giving them the control to choose for themselves, resulting in a positive outcome.
2.) You are setting the expectation, teaching respect, and avoiding behavior escalation between the child and parent.
3.) You are using a consistent positive discipline approach that will help your child's development through stages of social and emotional development.
Believe it or not, this is something you can use through all the adolescent years to come by just modifying it to their level!
Positive Language & Discipline
Here at Kid Logic Learning, we strongly believe in the use of positive language and discipline in our classrooms. We want to teach our children positive problem solving by modeling a positive message. This approach of phrasing things positively helps our children to process conflict and struggles in a way that promotes safe learning and identifying what "good" choices look and sound like.
Of course, all of our interactions are intended to be "positive" but many times we do have to work with children as they navigate their way through a seemingly "negative" conflict or struggle. Having this conflict throughout their day is developmentally appropriate and also a great learning opportunity for themselves and peers. The modeling and use of positive language and discipline in these situations helps the child to openly express their frustrations or concerns while still learning safe ways to resolve their conflict and how to proceed safely in the future.
Let's break it down a little further J We want to give our children positive options to express themselves rather than continuously limiting them. Ultimately, let's help them figure out what they can do versus what they can't do. Our positive language is recognizing a behavior or action and verbally acknowledging it in a way that asks for the positive alternative to the situation. Say the action you want to see! And don't forget, it's OK to be mad sometimes!! Let children feel the way they feel and help them finds ways to process those feelings!
After modeling and using positive language, sometimes there are situations that require us, as adults and educators, to take a firmer action or response. "Time Out's " or "Take a break" are usually the household phrases. Let's steer away from those a bit, as they focus on the negative behavior rather than emphasizing on the positive outcome that's trying to be achieved. Here at school, we use the term "Find some space". This indicates that a child needs to find a space, either of their choosing or one that's chosen for them, so that they can calm their mind and bodies enough the be able to process and resolve the conflict at hand. Suggest tools that they can employ to achieve self-soothing. I.E. Read a book, get a stuffed animal, lay on a pillow, sing a song to yourself, etc. You can suggest that once they're ready to be "friendly" or "kind" (or whatever the action is you're trying to achieve) he/she can join back into the situation/group. A second option is to use a timer (visual timers or sound timers). This can help many children settle themselves down knowing that there's a limit of time for how long they are taking space away from the situation. Then the timer's signal is a great re-fresher and starting point to calmly revisit the situation. It's all about giving them the tools and suggesting ideas that they might not have otherwise thought of.
If a child hits a friend (for any number of reasons), instead of saying "DON'T HIT!" you could acknowledge the result of the hitting ("Ouch! That hurts my friend." OR "Ouch, that makes my friend sad"). This helps to demonstrate the Cause/Affect for both children. The next step is to offer a safe and friendly alternative to the behavior, "Our hands are for gentle touches" or "We can use our hands for giving a hug!" Coordinate those words with the actions, "This is a gentle touch" and model giving a hug.
A huge goal is to also acknowledge the child's frustration which led to the behavior in the first place. It's OK to be mad sometimes! You can share your empathy by saying things like, "I can see that made you mad. Instead of hitting your friend you could say, 'I want a turn!'." If the negative behavior escalates after several attempts to demonstrate a safe and positive way to be, suggest "You can find some space until you're ready to use gentle hands."
1. Acknowledge the AFFECT of the behavior
"That hurts my body"
2. Suggest & model a POSITIVE alternative
"We could roll the car instead of throw it"
3. Say the action you want to see. Create opportunities or dialogue that allows the children to SAFELY express their initial feelings or need.
"The floor is for banging."
4. Give them tool to recognize their own feelings and ways to self-sooth.
"It looks like you're mad. You could find some space (or read a book, or get a stuffed animal) to help you feel better."

approx age of old mantel?
wondering how old this might be? It was given - yes given!!! - to us and the unbelievably generous couple that it came from are just curious about the age of it. We have the perfect place for it and are tickled to death. We could never afford to purchase a mantel this fine and still can hardly believe it!!
oh, are you lucky! That's a beauty! I like jemdandy's idea, tax records are easy to search at the County recorder's/auditor's office. Mantels like those often turn up in a particular antique shop in my area (I think he seeks them out, purchasing from older homes in Chicago being demo'd), they cost multiple $thousands$ !
Thanks everyone! The mantel didn't come from the original house at this point. Our niece and her husband saved it from a very run down 1950's era farmhouse in Alberta that they tore down. The old lady that lived there previously said she thought it came from an old hotel that was demolished in Calgary many years ago so it's had at least 2 lives. We are SO pleased to have it here, thank goodness they saved it
I think LindaC is real close on her age approximation.
No matter what it's age is --- you have one beautiful mantel there.
Here's my little bit of advice -- treat it with the utmost care as there is alot ov veneered parts on this item. For example -- those round posts are caated in Quarter-sawn oak veneer. It is physically impossible to have a solid post with that grain pattern continuing up and around a post without being a veneer-- OAK DOES NOT GROW THAT WAY!!
With that thought in mind -- if you do not ever choose to restore/refinish it (given what I see -- DON'T) keep the wood well "lubed" up -- in other words -- don't let it dry out -- as the glue that holds the veneer on will dry as well --then the veneer will start to loosen. Speak to someone in your area that really knows wood care and get their advice on keeping it from drying out. Better yet get several opinions. Do not take the advice of some young whippersnappers in the big box stores.
My next-door neighbor has "virtually the same" mantel. Hers is grained, from the factory. I dare'nt tell her of that fact. So, be really careful if you refinish it that you don't turn your quartersawn oak mantel into a poplar mantel. Of course, you may have the real thing; it's a super find either way.
To clear up what the previous poster means--- "imitation grain -- painted on with dark inks ang graining rollers. Many times -- years ago in the old catalogs one could buy "oak furniture one of three or four ways. Solid quarter -sawn, quarter -sawn real veneer, quarter sawn "imitation" grain and lastly solid oak (not quarter sawn. Like the previous poster said -- stripper will erase any grain -- and like they said they usually have a mixture of poplar and gum as their base woods.
I have never seen a imitation grain mantel-- but anything is and was possible!
great info Mark & Casey, thanks very much. I have an old maple dresser of my great grandmas that has that graining, it looks pretty neat. How do I tell on this mantel? It really looks like oak to me but it has red paint on most of the back and is hard to tell what is below the finish. I don't plan to refinish it but there is some water damage(?) to the on the curved piece above the opening. The PO's also did some cutting at the bottom to make something fit I guess. Any suggestions what to do with either?
From what I am GUESSING from the picts -- It looks like it is a mixture of veneer and solid woods. I think I see wood (veneer)of the same grain under the finish that is missing. Please understand -- my "guess" is from the picts only. These are only guesses only!!!! the "cut-outs" you picture could be hidden easily. With all the missing varnish (or whatever the finish was) this piece is veeery susceptable to the drying out I spoke of in a previous post.
Still a nice mantel -- good luck with it!!

I'm so disappointed. When my new pawrents picked me up they took me to my furever home...or so I thought. 18 acres with pools and spas and water slides and ocean walks and many restaurants and hundreds of peeps to love on me and a huge foyer with the nicest peeps. Our part of the "house" was a quarter-mile walk from the foyer with many peeps along the way to fawn all over me.
I was thinking this was pretty terrific and ever so much better than running loose on the streets of Anneheim, CA.
Wait! Packing? Getting in the car? This isn't my furever home?
Confusion sets in, at least for about five minutes until the morning of fun took my last ounce of puppy zeal and I fell asleep at Mom's feet.
Bye Bye ocean breezes.
Bye Bye humidity and dog beach.
Bye Bye hundreds of peeps.
Eight hours later and mostly being a good girl on the trip, ears popping as we climbed mountains until we were a mile high...
No ocean. Big trees.
Here comes Cuki...are you my furbro? YES!
Here comes Neksi...are you my fursis? YES!
Bree had a booboo so I only saw her from a distance but she wagged her tail at me.
New floors to pee on. New toys to steal. New furniture to jump on.
Okay...it may not be the Hyatt Regency...
Mom and Dad are coming to Southern California to pick me up this weekend. I'll meet my furmily Sunday. I'm furry excited. My foster mom and Barb Riggs helped Mom and Dad give Breanna a furever home, too. Can't wait to meet everyfur. Zuri

Shopping Checklist - Washing Machines
- Top or Front Load
Determine what sort of washing machine you wish to purchase and then weigh up the advantages and disadvantages based against your needs.
- Drum size The size of the drum tells you how many clothes can be washed in it. For a single person, something around a 4.5kg unit is more than enough, while a family with two or more children may want a 6kg or bigger unit.
- Water use This is an important consideration as the less water the machine uses, the more money you will save in running costs. Make sure to check the WELS rating before making your purchase to determine your annual running costs.
- Electricity use The less electricity the machine uses during operation, the more money you will save. Make sure to check the WELS rating before making your purchase to determine your annual running costs.
- Cycle length Washing machines can offer a variety of cycle times, or a few as two options and many of these can save washing time and water use too. Depending on your laundry needs - for example a family versus a couple -- the cycle length options need to be considered.
- Steam Some of the latest washing machines offer a steam cleaning functionality, which is designed to use a lot less water.
- Gentle cycle Gentle cycles are an important cycle option to make sure fragile fabrics, such as silk, are not damaged during the washing process.
- Spin speed Faster spin cycles can help dry your clothes, reducing the time your clothes need to be in a dryer or on the drying line.
- Machine size Depending on your living space available, you will want a machine that fits in your designated laundry area.
- Noise Some washers are louder than others, and depending on where it is located in your house, this may be disruptive to those in adjacent rooms.
- Extra features Some machines will offer several washing cycles, which may be important if you wash laundry comprised of a variety of fabrics, and weights.
- Special detergent Some front load machines require special detergent to operate, which may be an added expense, so check to see if the machine needs it.

Three reasons why e-mail marketers need Web analyticsJan 08, 2008
If you invited 100 friends to a party at your house, would you judge the success of the party based solely on the number of people who RSVPed? Of course not. You'd also take into consideration how the party itself went — how many people stayed longer than a few minutes, whether they seemed to have a good time and even how much food and wine was left over. So why would you judge the success of your e-mail campaign based solely on the campaign metrics?

You can increase spring tension
Posted by: randy_morgart on Nov-03-12 10:58 PM (EST)
pull the safety pin out of the rudder pivot. I'd say go ahead and pull the pivot pin out remove the rudder and make sure everything is clean. When you replace the rudder make sure the spring goes into the slot in the center of the pivot pin. As you insert the pivot pin stop just before the 1/8" pins engage the holes in the rudder housing. Turn the pivot pin clockwise (I think) to increase tension on the spring then push the 1/8" pins into the holes. Try the rudder if it doesn't work increase spring tension more by backing out the pivot pin and turning further. Replace the safety pin when done.
Good Luck

Opinions on Marvin Integrity (wood-ultrex) and Marvin Infinity
I'm looking at replacing the existing windows in my Tudor style home in NJ. I'm looking at a combination of casement and double hung windows (w/bronze exterior).
We've had quotes for wood windows from both Marvin Ultimate and Andersen A series and we recently got a quote for Okna - as to cover both ends of the price vs quality spectrum (wood vs. premium vinyl).
Are the Marvin Integrity (wood-ultrex) and Marvin Infinity worthy contenders in terms of quality, cost and efficiency?
You are looking at three product materials with different pros and cons. I can say that each product that you've seen is highly regarded, but for very different reasons. You will want to assess your priorities for the project to determine which is the best fit. All are well made quality products.
-Value (very different than cost)?
-Option content?
-Perception by others (including guests and/or future buyers of your home)
If I could make a chart, the Okna would skew toward performance, value, cost, and warranty, the Ultimate toward appearance, perception, option content, and the Integrity/Infinity as somewhat of a bridge between the two. Not as good in the "good" areas of each choice, but not as bad in their weaker areas either. Whether that makes it a "glass half-empty" or "half-full" proposition depends on your perspective.
... let me add that those Pros and Cons are regarding the comparison of these specific products and their respective materials. For instance, the Marvin product line is actually a very good performer as WOOD products go, and the Okna is very attractive as VINYL products go.
My recommendation would be to pick the material that best suits your needs/goals FIRST, and then pick the product line. :)
Thank you both for your reply. I really appreciate the feedback.
@ windowsonwashington - can you please provide me with some advise as it relates to comparing installation detail? Do you mean new construction vs. replacement? or the way in which they actually install the windows (materials used etc)?

I have been working at Ciber full-time (more than 8 years)Pros
I've worked for Ciber for nine years and started as a developer and climbed the ladder into management. Ciber was there every step of the way to coach and mentor me, and provided me the opportunity to get the support I needed to be successful.
The new leadership team at the executive level is setting an example for executing against commitments and holding everyone including themselves accountable and that behavior is trickling down through to every level of management within the organization to where the consultants on the ground are feeling the commitment they are making to their success.Cons
Ciber is located in a competitive market in Seattle and the local leadership team needs to find ways to find career mobility easier to achieve internally than externally.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Hi there, " eye's" is not a contraction (that is, you are not shortening a word) : it currently reads " eye is" . On the other hand, it's " Moon's warm blanket" (the moon owns the warm blanket, therefore it's a possessive) , " Morning's break" , and " gravity's law" .
I like " cyan eyes, poised, fixed..." , but " adroitly mischievous" ?How can a cat be " adroitly mischievous" ?If you are not going to qualify this, drop it. The same goes for " madly distemper" . Here I thought you were playing with the idea that the cat is diseased, hence it's confusing (besides, you don't need another descriptive word (" madly" ;) so soon. Overuse of adverbs gives the impression that you lack confidence as a writer: trust your adjectives and nouns (and your own poem) .
Accordingly, " ostensibly" is both awkward (it's too far away from the verb that it modifies) and unnecessary. (Or do you feel it is important?If so, why?I don't mean you should answer me...just yourself) .
Love the " catty brush of Dali" .
