Helix FMIC Install Question

Like you, my hose (elbow) seems to be longer too. I noticed it after installation. I think I will have to cut mine because the charge pipe that connects to the elbow is sitting about 1" 1/2 to 2" higher than the rubber gromet it is supposed to be resting on... It is bothering me because the charge pipe is not secured by the gromet and it rocks back and forth under load. I dont want it coming in contact with the pulley which is only few inches away.
My IC sits about 1/4" below the bumper as well. It does not sit flush against the radiator. A plastic fin on the bottom part of the bumper seems to be the culprit causing the IC to slightly tilt forward. This member had to do some minor grinding to get it to fit perfectly with no air gaps <http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97209&highlight=Helix+bumper>
As far as the star bolts are concerned, the one on the passenger side did not line up for me either. I used my jack to lift the IC to line up on the passenger side, put the star bolt and made couple of turns by hand and then alingned the driver side and bolted both of them.
I'm not happy with the way it is sitting right now so I might take the bumper off, grind the plastic fin and cut the extra length from the elbow hose.
Thanks for your info! I'm going to cut the elbow a bit more. I already trimmed about 1/4" I'll probably cut anywhere from another 1/4" to 1/2". The elbow itself was squished pretty badly and there's no way it would perform well enough.
I'll have to take a look at the star bolts tonight too. I'm a bit anal about installs myself. If it's not perfect, something's wrong.
Also just found out I have an oil leak somewhere. Good luck with your install!
Thanks for all the help everyone, much appreciated.

Love this! Such an easy way to thanks my readers. Thank you!
first of all thank you for your great idea to make this plugin useful. It works but I'm not sure if I'm right.
Your plugin does not use my SMTP account in WP, right? So it took some time to get an Email and I thought something goes wrong. Could you change that please?
I made the German translation for you. Are you interested? Where can I send it?

Game expansions are the lifeblood for longevity of the MMOs we love to play. In his latest column, Adam Tingle talks about expansions in general and about EverQuest: Tears of Veeshan in particular. Read on before heading to the forums to chat.
There are just so many expansions, booster packs, and 32X extensions to this current build of Norrath that it's hard to get a grip on everything. The world is a smattering of design and added-on content, from Odus to Faydwer - and you just know the developers are now scratching their heads thinking "what were we on when we designed the Isle of Mara?". I'd hazard a guess and say a mixture of Bruce Lee films and Buddhism.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Marquise Williams accounted for four touchdowns while Jeff Schoettmer returned an interception for a score during North Carolina's game-turning flurry, helping the No. 23 Tar Heels beat Liberty 56-29 on Saturday night.
Schoettmer's 19-yard return came during a run of four touchdowns in fewer than 4 minutes, which jolted the Tar Heels out of a sluggish and mistake-prone performance in the season opener.
Liberty led 22-21 with about 6 minutes left in the third quarter before Williams found Mack Hollins for a 33-yard scoring pass. Williams later scored on a 15-yard keeper and backup Mitch Trubisky followed with his first career TD pass for a 49-22 lead with 2:06 left in the quarter.
That stunning turnaround couldn't have happened without the maligned defense - perhaps UNC's biggest question mark coming into the season - forcing three turnovers in the third and setting up the sputtering offense with short scoring drives against Liberty.

Ed Sullivan Theater Vandal Debuts New Excuse
Unfortunately, "It's the Irish in me," doesn't hold up in court.
When 23-year-old James Whittemore drunkenly kicked in the glass doors of the historic Ed Sullivan Theater and urinated on the floor in 2011, he said he was just having a "rough day." Then he blamed it on the alcohol. On Wednesday he was back in court for allegedly punching a homeless man who he says got "in my face" on a Harlem A-train platform. "I lost it," says Whittemore. "It's the Irish in me." Hey man, if you're just into hitting things, you can tell us.

Yanks want to meet with A-Rod, finalize manager decision
Updated: October 26, 2007, 6:33 PM ETAssociated Press
TAMPA, Fla. -- The New York Yankees are trying to set up a meeting with Alex Rodriguez while they work on picking a manager.
Rodriguez has until the 10th day following the World Series to decide whether to opt out of his record $252 million, 10-year contract and become a free agent. The Yankees plan to offer him an extension and say they would drop out of talks if A-Rod opts out.
Hank Steinbrenner, a son of owner George Steinbrenner, said
Friday the club probably will meet ...

To be honest, I had to look up, "monetized" as I didn't immediately know it. I read what it is and it all becomes clear, why anyone would have YouTube problems, if so reported. It's no longer free stream, but one where money can be made or somehow becomes commercialized to boot, thus some money or revenue.
-----Willy :()
In another discussion about content that does not show on some devices we were scratching our heads.
At first we chalked it up to something about Flash but then someone supplied this link.
-> http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2453875
"n our previous distribution model, the choices for viewing videos were limited to either allowing videos to be viewed only on the desktop version of the YouTube website, or making them available on the desktop, mobile phones and TV. Our new model allows you to select the option to make your videos available on all platforms or monetized platforms only. "
It's like blocking internet use in stores. I'm sure you've been asked to put away your camera in the stores before. With mobile phones and more, what's up with this Youtube restriction?

Rated 1 out of 5 by trill Did not work good My husband bought me this as a Christmas gift. I used it for the first time today. It's a nice looking grill but it's performance was horrible. I don't normally write reviews but I just had to on this one. I plugged everything in, i put it on the correct temperature for the bacon and sausage that I cooked. Everything started out fine until I look at the temperature control and the orange light was not on. I increased the temp up to 400. It started back cooking. Looked down a couple of minutes later...the orange light was off again. So..i unplugged it and plugged it back in. The temp control would only come on when I turned it up to 350. It went OFF AGAIN, then I turned it up to 400 it started working again. I must have unplugged and plugged it about 5 or 6 times until I finished cooking. I think the temp control dial is jacked up. Now what I can say good about this grill is that it did cook the pancakes great, but I was still having to plug and unplug it as I cooked, cause that's the only way I could get it to work... Not a happy customer!!!! February 20, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by love2eat never worked right I followed the instructions to a "T" on how to season the skillet but it has continued to stick since day one. Electrical cord extremely difficult to plug into the unit. Do not recommend. March 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMR123456 Really nice griddle I was looking for something non stick to cook pancakes, eggs, bacon, ... This griddle is made really nice, heats up pretty evenly and quick, and was a good size for my needs. I highly recommend it. March 10, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by KTGK Loved it This is a great product for the price. Very useful for my pancake preparation. I can prepare the food easy and fast with this. Cleaning is easy. February 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Margarite heats quickly A Christmas gift which I used for the first time today. It heated quickly and seemed to maintain precise heating. Clean up was a breeze. It is large and storing is difficult in my kitchen. January 20, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mulu Not working like I thought it would I have used this griddle twice and both times my food( french toast and pancakes) have burned. I put it on the temperature given in the booklet that came with it.I will probably try lower settings and see what happens. December 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MerryShopper Above and Beyond Expectations This griddle is state of the art. It is heavy duty, even cooking, and big enough to cook breakfast for a family without taking up all the cabinet space. It cleans easily and looks good sitting still or working hard. Add to that, it came at a great holiday price. It is definitely the best buy I made this season. December 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by lolo My first one So far it is a good purchase, used twice. It was easy to use. January 6, 2016

Answer:Just soap and water and a soft sponge or non-abrasive pad! Because of the Teflon coating, treat it as you would when you cook with Teflon pans, etc. I've even just used a damp dish towel or paper towel for clean-up and to prevent scratching the surface. Just a reminder, coat the surface with cooking spray or vegetable oil before cooking to prevent the food from sticking. You could use butter also, but tends to burn!

With the retirement announcement from Gary Seaborne and the decision of Diane Woods-Ayers to not seek a new contract, do we actually need two superintendents? Both school districts have scheduled to meet with the Kentucky School Board Association for guidance.
Will the KSBA work on behalf of both districts with one fee?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

When the late-night munchies strike, you have two options: Scrounge together something at home, or make a dash for some fat-soaked, quick food.
Looking disheveled, my hair askew, I chose the latter last Wednesday around 10:30 p.m. Then the hard decision: Where to go? For some time, I'd been craving Krispy Kreme, a comfort-food favorite born in my home state, North Carolina.For all you local doughnut aficionados, yes, I've had Top Pot. But there's something so utterly delicious and satisfying about Krispy Kreme's glazed varietal. They are, in a way, the Coca Cola of the doughnut world: an old favorite that's not overly exotic, but refreshingly familiar.
A few days before, an ex unexpectedly cleared out my apartment, leaving me no bed, no kitchen utensils, cups, plates, etc. Even if I wanted to cook, I had limited options.
So I walked the two blocks from my Pioneer Square apartment to my parking garage, past drug deals and at least a dozen homeless people, and hopped in my car, which had only one working headlight. I drove down First Avenue, praying the cops wouldn't pull me over, and planning an excuse in my head if they did. "It's my birthday tomorrow," I would plead (the truth).
Pulling up to the SODO Krispy Kreme, open from 5:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until midnight on Friday and Saturday, I looked for a drive-through. "If I'm forced to," I thought, "I'll go in looking like a scraggly mess." The gods had compassion, however, and as I pulled up, a dozen hot, glazed doughnuts seemed about right, with a small watermelon chiller to wash them down.
Walking back to my apartment a few minutes later, I felt guilty carrying a dozen (by that time, maybe 10) doughnuts past rows of homeless, and vowed that if anybody approached me, I'd turn into the Pioneer Square Santa Claus and dish out Krispy Kreme to the tired and hungry.
That didn't happen, though I brought the remaining seven doughnuts to work the next day and gave them to co=workers.
The moral of the story: If you're hungry, craving sugar, and it's late, you can't beat Krispy Kreme.

FITZGERALD, Ga., Feb. 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:CBAN), today reported net income available to shareholders of $203,000, or $0.02 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to net income available to shareholders of $31,000, or $0.00 per diluted share for the comparable 2011 period, while net income available to shareholders for twelve months ended December 31, 2012 was $1,206,000, or $0.14 per diluted share compared to $1,134,000, or $0.13 per share for the comparable 2011 period. "Several of our markets are showing signs of general economic improvement. Specifically some segments of agribusiness have experienced a record year in terms of price and yield. This is reflected on our balance sheet as total loans outstanding have increased over the previous quarter end for the third consecutive quarter. The Company focus continues to be problem asset resolution and those efforts resulted in further improvement during the quarter as nonperforming assets decreased to $46.16 million at December 31, 2012 from $51.74 million at September 30, 2012, or a decrease of 10.78 percent, while the substandard assets to tier one equity plus loan loss allowance ratio improved to 55.60% at December 31, 2012 from 63.87% at September 30, 2012. Though improvement was once again realized this quarter, we still have much work ahead to meet our goals of reducing our problem assets to an acceptable level and returning to acceptable earnings. Our board, management and staff committed to making incremental progress toward these goals during 2012 and we were able to again achieve that this quarter," said Ed Loomis, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Momentum carrying over from 2012 along with revenue enhancement initiatives bode well for a successful and rewarding year in 2013."

5 predictions for the ACC season
After peering into his crystal ball, Mark Schlabach conjured up five predictions for the 2006 ACC season.
Updated: August 21, 2006, 3:22 PM ETBy Mark Schlabach | ESPN.com
The ACC folks will tell you the league has caught up with the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC in college football. A record eight ACC teams played in bowl games last season and five of them won.
ACC teams were 13-9 vs. BCS foes in 2005 and five teams were ranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll. And what about the NFL draft? The ACC set an NCAA record with 12 first-round selections this year, including seven of the first 15 choices overall, and 51 players from the league's 12 teams ...

See that lonely, spoiled, dysfunctional, narcissist in the corner? He's probably an only child. And your boss? She's got to be a hard-driving, conservative, uptight firstborn. The easygoing rebel who's clowning around without a care in the world must have been the baby in his brood, and that virtually invisible people-pleaser is a middle kid.
Do gross generalizations like that sound a little bit ridiculous
to you? They do to Dr. Toni Falbo as well.
Falbo, a professor of educational psychology in the College of Education and faculty research associate in the Population Research Center at The University of Texas at Austin, has devoted about 30 years to myth-busting, focusing on only children and one-child families. Her exhaustive research has led her to doubt the credulity of many birth order pop-psych books on the market these days and also to be the most-often quoted expert in the world on a topic that continues to foster lively debate.
"Back in the '70s when I started my work, I was quite interested in stereotypes, and the stereotype of the only child is a very powerful one," says Falbo, an only child herself and the mother of an only child. "For a century, only children have had this reputation for being lonely, unpleasant, selfish and maladjusted. People have tried to make parents who have only one child feel guilty and wrong for choosing to do so—many polls show that lots of families have a second child for no other reason than to prevent the first child from growing up without siblings."
To trace the negative stereotype to its roots, one has to leap
back 100 years and look at the scholarship of a turn-of-the-century
American child psychology expert named G. Stanley Hall, the erstwhile
"Father of Modern Psychology."
"Hall was a product of his time, and his philosophies on
child-rearing and family size reflect that," says Falbo. "His
was a rural, agricultural point of view and, to him, childhood was
about the fraternizing and socializing children enjoyed with a large
number of brothers, sisters and cousins, the adventures and explorations
in the countryside and a house filled with kids. He described the
only child experience as 'damaging,' and that stigma
stuck for a long time."
Hall, in fact, went well beyond simply calling the only child experience
damaging and is credited with stating, "Being an only child
is a disease in itself."
Despite a scientific study in the late 1920s that clearly refuted
Hall's assertions and proved only children were as normal
as other kids and a steady string of similar studies through the
20th century, Hall's proclamation held sway, with the same
appeal as a National Enquirer headline.
After all, Sigmund Freud had written that only children were prone to sexual identity problems and psychiatrists such as Alfred A. Messer were imploring parents to adopt a second child if they were unable to conceive just to give the family some semblance of emotional balance.
"If my research had shown that only children were sick, sick,
sick," says Falbo, "we'd be talking about Nobel
prize-winning type results. My career would have taken off like
a rocket. But conventional wisdom is wrong, and it seems that finding
out kids are normal is not quite as exciting."
When Falbo came on the scene three decades ago, her goal was to
take the mass of existing information, conduct a scrupulous, comprehensive
examination of 20th century research findings and produce reliable,
definitive data. She culled through and analyzed more than 100 studies
involving only children and reached the un-provocative, but highly
newsworthy, conclusion that they were remarkably similar to their
peers in most every way.
Falbo's findings were published in a book called "The
Single Child Family," in which a century's worth of
scholarship revealed that single children are not disadvantaged.
They, in fact, seem to enjoy slight advantages in certain areas.
Among other things, research indicated that only children's
achievement as adults was somewhat higher than that of other children,
especially when it came to educational attainment. Researchers hypothesized
that this was because of the family's increased financial
resources and the uniquely close relationship that only children
shared with their parents.
"Some of the 'perks' to being an only child
are logical and simply have to do with physical resources and the
amount of time parents have to devote to child-rearing," says
Falbo. "When a college education, for example, has to
be provided for one child as opposed to four, it's more likely
that the one child not only will get to go to college but also may
be sent to a more prestigious, more expensive school. Everything
from family trips to parental participation in the child's
school life may be enhanced because more resources and time are
only children being immersed in an adult-oriented home environment
from an early age and experiencing an interaction with parents that
is undiluted by siblings, researchers assert that high achievement
is a probability.
Rather than overindulge only children, parents may tend to push
them to high achievement and have elevated expectations,"
says Falbo. "These children tend to score slightly higher
in verbal ability, go farther in school and have a little bit higher
self-esteem, and a lot of this just has to do with more parent involvement
and uninterrupted time with adults. High hopes can rest on that
one child—you've got your only chance for a musical
math genius who also knows ballet and how to speak six foreign languages."
When it came to traits such as maturity, emotional stability and
popularity only children did not distinguish themselves as different
in studies, and as for the fear that only children lack in social
skills and grow up feeling isolated and lonely, studies allayed
apprehensive parents' worries. According to Falbo, most children
spend at least a portion of their early years in play groups, daycare
and preschool, if nothing else, and that opportunities for interaction
with peers and a healthy degree of socialization usually are present.
"It's important to note that, overall, the differences
between only children and other children were very slight,"
says Falbo. "Factors like education level of the parents,
the financial state of the family, emotional health and values of
the parents, individual parenting styles and the genetic predisposition
of the child have far, far more to do with how a child turns out
than birth order and family size."
Falbo's conclusions were reinforced by research that she conducted in three Chinese provinces and the Beijing area in the early '90s.
"About 25 years ago China decided that having lots of babies
was a luxury it couldn't afford," says Falbo, "And
the government implemented a one-child policy. People were told
that in order for China to become a world-class power, everyone
had to make sacrifices, and families were willing to. So I had an
entire country of only children to examine."
With a National Institutes of Health grant, Falbo set out to study
4,000 Chinese children in both rural and urban settings, looking
at language and math skills as well as personality traits based
on Chinese values, expectations and traditions.
"There was, and still is, a lot of discussion in China about
this new generation of 'little emperors,'" says
Falbo. "People were very worried that these children would
not reflect the collectivist values of China and would be discordantly
independent and 'me-oriented.' People wondered if China
would end up with an entire generation of self-centered, unable
to share, ill-mannered, arrogant, spoiled brats. A lot of Chinese
psychologists had been trained in G. Stanley Hall's point
of view, and their prognosis for society and these children was
pretty dismal."
As was the case in her earlier research, Falbo found that, whether in the east or west, only children did not show marked differences from children with siblings. Using self-descriptions from the children and descriptions from peers, teachers and one parent, Falbo concluded that the children had somewhat higher verbal ability, were good students and were not the arrogant centers of the universe that adults had feared. This is reassuring to a country that saw about 70 million children born between 1979 and 1999 alone, even with a state-sponsored program designed to shrink a swollen population that was running out of space and goods.
birthrates sharply declining in most developed nations and a record
number of women opting to stop at one child, empirical evidence
that "onlies" are not destined to be spoiled misfits
or misanthropes is welcome news around the globe.
And if scientific longitudinal studies, confluence models and large-scale surveys from scholars like Falbo don't allay fears, there's always anecdotal evidence from Hollywood, politics and professional sports to reassure. Among the throngs of perfectly normal only kids are Joe Montana and Tiger Woods, Elizabeth Taylor and Tommy Lee Jones, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Leonardo da Vinci and Robin Williams, Joseph Stalin and Norman Bates…on second thought, you might want to ignore those last two.

Chanlang's ...CambodiaAgricultureFunding via VisionFund Cambodia
Koliv's GroupCambodiaAgricultureFunding via VisionFund Cambodia
Pheap's Group
Pheap took her first loan with VisionFund in 2010 and the loan has helped her improve her family's living conditions by enabling her to afford sufficient food to eat. She now earns around $4 per day to feed her family. After fully repaying her first loan, she is applying for another loan with two new members who have just joined VisionFund for this loan cycle. As the leader of the group, she will use this entire loan to buy seed and fertilizer for her rice farm. She hopes to increase crop yield, enabling her to earn a good profit for her family.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Good morning and I hope you are all looking forward to another fall weekend!
I titled this post "Great Expectations" because that is exactly what this weekend means to me. Now, let me premise this by saying, I have learned to hold loosely to any plans that we make so I will not be crushed if the unexpected happens and my plans don't go as, well, planned.
Let's just say there is a lot to accomplish around here.
Tonight the first order of business…fun!
A trip to our favorite pumpkin patch with the kids. I have learned by experience that if you can go to the pumpkin patch on a weekday a couple of hours before they close it is the perfect time to go. I've made the mistake in the past of going on a weekend. The huge crowds, lines, and harsh sunlight don't make for the best of times. The first year we went on a weeknight after my husband got off work was the best…and if you're lucky you can get a great photo– fog included!
The second order of business: let the kids have at the basement family room and spookify it. They started the other night. Here is some of their handiwork.
A trip to the dollar store and we picked up some simple cut outs and I had the kids make paper chains with construction paper.
I think they are doing a fabulous job! They have requested cobwebs and streamers next.
Lastly, I am giddy at the idea that our hardwood floors are going to be installed for the kitchen remodel. This is all my husband's baby. He has never installed hardwood floors before, so he has requested that we leave the house all day Saturday. I am wondering if this is because of the possible words he may shout out during the process, but he tells me it is so we can come home and be wowed by the results. How cute is that?
So, if all goes as planned we will get our pumpkin patch on, continue making our family room spooky for our Halloween party night, and {fingers-crossed} my kitchen will be halfway on its way to looking like the vision in my head…or on my Pinterest board:
Oh, happy day, when the floors will look like this!!!
Have a wonderful weekend and do something that involves the words fall and fun!

The Role of End-users and Policy Makers in Sustainable InnovationRoed Nielsen, Kristian; Reisch, Lucia; Thøgersen, John (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: What is good sustainable innovation policy? And what is good governance for user-led innovation for more sustainable products and services in specific? The basic aim of innovation policy is to promote invention and innovation that transforms knowledge and competence into long-term social welfare. Innovation policy for sustainable development asks what can be done by government to support products, processes and social innovations that spur and enable more sustainable lifestyles in specific. From a policy maker's perspective, there are two basic approaches to innovation policy: Either, governments engage into "horizontal industrial policy", i.e. they design a supportive legal and economic framework, insure dynamic markets and promote a technology friendly "climate" in society. Or, governments engage in "vertical industrial policy" and opt for more active - and more intruding - efforts to develop an industry or a technology with economic incentives and industry-specific market regulation. This latter option has been criticized by market proponents since "picking the winners" by the state instead of the market is often not very efficient ("market knows best"). On the other hand, it has its merits in speeding up necessary changes in markets. Both approaches are, however, focused on entrepreneurs and industries, hence on the supply side of the market. In times of digitalization, prosumerism and blurring boundaries between supply and demand, another focus is slowly gaining importance, namely user-led innovation for sustainable products and processes. The present report hence focuses on the question how innovation policy can spur this kind of innovation with userentrepreneurs on the demand side of markets in the driver seat. The report identifies the key impact mechanisms as reported and analysed in the relevant literature. While admittedly this type of research is still scarce and in its infancy, we know from traditional innovation policy literature that good innovation governance • is consistent and reliable; • supports interaction between and offers platforms for all relevant actors: market actors (both: supply and demand), political actors, societal actors and science, also between venture capitalists and innovators/entrepreneurs; • designs a supportive innovation infrastructure (education, physical infrastructure, etc.); • supports a social "climate" that is open for innovation and has a culture for innovation and failure (willingness to change, open for new opportunity, trust in whom, culture of risk); • finds the right balance of regulation and free market; and • designs effective incentives and support programmes. This is also the starting point for the present report that focuses on the specific requirements of user-led sustainability innovation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9163

Abstract: The Finnish Higher Education Evaluation Council has conducted an audit of the Hanken School of Economics. Based on the international audit team's recommendation and the audit report, the Evaluation Council has decided to require the institution to undergo a re-audit. In its current state the quality system of Hanken School of Economics does not fulfil the national criteria set for the quality management of higher education institutions, and thus the system cannot be said to correspond to the European quality assurance principles and recommendations for higher education institutions. The object of the audit was the quality system that the Hanken School of Economics has developed based on its own needs and goals. The optional audit target chosen by the institution was the Assurance of Learning process. The following were regarded as key strengths of the quality system: n There is a strong organisational culture characterized by a strong sense of purpose, result orientation and a commitment to advancement of the university. n Student feedback is taken seriously and leads to changes at course level. n There are established and natural ways of involving alumni and corporate connections in the operations. n There is a very systematic process for implementing the strategy throughout the organisation using performance agreements and development discussions. Among other things, the following recommendations were made for the Hanken School of Economics: n The accreditations that Hanken has pursued have led to the development of many established quality management procedures which contribute to the development of the operations. However, Hanken would benefit from integrating these into one overall quality system and defining the objectives, structure and operating principles of this system. This would provide opportunities to enhance efficiency, to reduce risk and to help Hanken respond to change. n It would be desirable if Hanken were to develop more systematic methods to manage its quality processes in order to give more emphasis to the evaluation and improvement stages of the Hanken Quality Loop 2013. n It is recommended that Hanken structure the documentation of the procedures, processes and systems that it uses to maintain and develop the quality of its activities, paying particular attention to access to information. This would lead to better traceability and would help identify inefficiencies and areas in need of development in its operations. The re-audit will concentrate on the quality policy of the higher education institution (audit target 1), on samples of degree education at bachelor's and master's level (audit target 5) and on the quality system as a whole (audit target 6).

The first study on Danish consumers' tendency to compulsive buyingReisch, Lucia A.; Gwozdz, Wencke; Raab, Gerhard (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The present study is the first study of Danish consumers on compulsive buying. It draws on a representative sample of 1,015 Danish consumers (aged between 15 and 84 years) and extends prior research undertaken in other countries (such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Canada, the US). It is the first study to shed light on the situation in a Scandinavian context and is designed to allow for a comparison with the situation in other countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8867

Abstract: Natural resource-driven development in Africa has emerged as a hot topic in recent years. Extractive industries,1 by which is meant energy (i.e. gas, oil, and coal), minerals and metals, are an important part of this agenda. The renewed interest among governments, firms and donors in these industries hinges on the assumption that they will generate foreign revenues, create jobs and boost economic growth. Indeed, Africa's abundant endowments of natural resources may speed up economic transformation, economic diversification and poverty alleviation. Industrial policies are thought to be particularly important to achieve this by helping to develop the linkages of the extractive industries sectors and the local economy, and by using resource rents and revenues to generate growth and employment in agriculture, industry and services more broadly.

Is Dragic the next Yugo Laker?
Favoring numbers as a starter from this past season (5 games): 13.4 PPG, 7.8 REBS, and 7.8 assists.
Last 5 games: 11 PPG, 6 REBS, and 6 assists.
Here's what past Yugoslavian Lakers had to say about the idea of Goran Dragic possibly being the next Yugo Laker...

2011 Red Bull Soapbox Winner - Lakers Fanwagon
|Photo credit: ManFromNor
Kudos to the Lakers Fanwagon team who brought home the title. Only fitting since the locals who reside just blocks away couldn't.
The Lakers Fanwagon was driven by Christopher Moreno and constructed by mechanics Hector Catalan, Vienna To, and Jose Moreno. Their nifty Lakers championship parade themed Red Bull soapbox not only looked the best but maneuvered the fastest. Go figure.
Click here for more information about the Lakers Fanwagon team
Soapbox specs: Human powered; Less than 6-feet wide and 7-feet tall; Less than 20-feet in length; Not more than 7 inches off the ground; Cannot weight more than 176 lbs (excluding driver); and drivers must be at least 18 years of age.
Racers steered their homemade design on wheels along a hay bale-lined route down Grand Avenue, then turned left on 5th Street and down to the finish line near Pershing Square.
Many racers (37 to be exact) took the downward slope with grace, many failed, but only one team was destined to take the [Larry O'Brien] trophy.
Congrats to the Lakers Fanwagon team for once again making the Purple and Gold the best in Los Angeles.

Why not get stuck on Stuckey?
It's clear the Lakers have many PG options in the coming months, why not look over in Detroit for Rodney Stuckey as one? We all know he's not afraid to shoot the ball as he averaged 12 FG attempts last season (70 games). Even though his stats rollercoastered, Stuckey ended the season with promising numbers scoring over 20 points in the last five games.
Like Aaron Brooks, Stuckey is a 4 year guard who has plenty in the tank. He can easily have 15 point nights using his left hand. Last season he averaged 16pts at the starting position (54 games as a starter). L.A. gravely (no exaggeration) needs a player like Stuckey who is not afraid to put up 10+ shot attempts a night. With a new coach coming on board, the offense is going to consequently change which will allow for new players to step up.
We can give Stuckey a tempting offer now that Trey, Joe and Theo are off the roster. Their salaries alone free up roughly $3 million. Stuckey made just less than that last season in Detroit. I'm sure Buss can reach deeper into the organization's pockets to lock in a player with the caliber like Stuckey's.
Plus, just imagine the popularity L.A. will gain from a 50 cent look-a-like. Yo, it's time to pop some bottles of bub! Yo, word to ya mutha! Yo, word in bond? Yo, it's your birfday. All of this yo yo talk is making me feel like one. My head hurts.

Why not Aaron Brooks?
Aaron Brooks will be available this off season as a restricted free agent. He would fit perfectly with the Lakers organization as they try to fill the voids left behind from a disappointing season. I may be the only Laker fan who considers making the semifinals not as disappointing.
Aaron is a 4th year point guard who plays with no fear. His speed and offense is critically needed for this aging dynasty. L.A. needs a PG who can score and slash for the quick two or open pass. Who better to do this than the NBA's 2009-10 most improved player who averaged 20pts that season.
We all know Aaron Brooks because he plays his best ball against the Lakers. He opened up this season reminding Laker fans of this by scoring 24pts w/ 9 assists. Midway through he was traded to Phoenix where his minutes varied. Granted Nash took most of them but Aaron still scored an average 13pts (55 game season) when he had 20+ minute nights (34 games). This stat alone almost doubles Derek Fisher's entire regular season average (6.8pts) where he had just 3 games with less than 20 minutes.
This is not to compare Derek to Aaron as Fisher has already proven his HOF status but if this franchise wants to compete next season they need to improve at the 1 position. Exclude the love we all have for the Finisher, Derek just needs to accept the second unit role like LO so graciously has. Having a quick offensive contributor that has the capability of averaging 10-15pts a game is what will put the champs at the top again.
Need I remind you what Aaron Brooks did to the Lakers in Game 4 of the NBA 2009-10 semifinals? Take a second look. He could be doing this type of damage as a Laker next season! Just imagine that.

Changing of the 1 guard
I just don't get it, Fisher is one of the best shooters in the league. He just needs to shoot more rather that orchestrate the triangle. He only averaged 6 shot attempts in the regular season. I don't care if you have Bird's range, Allen's form, and Miller's stroke, 6 shot attempts is not enough to get you in any kind of rhythm. I understand there's a pecking order but there's plenty to peck at in 48 minutes.
Derek's back up wasn't any better either. Brian Kamenetzky from the Land O' Lakers recently wrote a great article about Steve Blake's disappointing season. Click here to read the article.
So this dawns the question, who would be a great pickup this off season? I don't know about you but I'm liking Stuckey.

Phil Jackson's Exit Interview
|Courtesy of L.A. Times-Lakers Blog
One media reporter asked Phil if he was going to formerly resign. Phil responded, "I don't know if I have to write a letter". Classic Phil Jackson.
He also stated when asked again about his retiring, "I am happy with the job I've done".
He hasn't said in exact words that he is leaving but he doesn't have to. We all know this is his final good bye.
Thanks for everything Phil.

Bynum opens up with an apology in his exit interview
|Courtesy of NBA.com
There is one Dallas Maverick who has voiced his opinion on the matter however...
Dallas guard and former 6th man of the year The Jet Jason Terry was on the Dan Patrick Show Monday morning and expressed his feelings about Andrew Bynum's "dirty, dirty" play.
On how he would've reacted if Andrew Bynum had done to him what he did to J.J. Barea:
"I can't tell you. I cannot tell you what I would've done, but I know it would've been hard for me to control my reaction, being the player that I am and the emotion that I play with. It was just a dirty, dirty play."
On how difficult it was to not react to Bynum's flagrant foul:
"It was tough for me. I was toeing the line. I think we might even have to review the tape, but I made sure I stayed back. You know what happens if you cross that line and you're not in the game, you won't be playing in the next one."
Listen I know this has become overplayed and I know the media has gone crazy over this subject but Bynum needs to realize what he did was absolutely wrong. Our responsibility as fans is to expose the bad as much as we flaunt the good. We can't cover our eyes and say it never happened. It will go away eventually but not now. It's still leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.

Laker Legends react to Bynum's classless act
Three ejections in just 2 games. First it was Ron Artest in the closing seconds of game 2 clothes-lining JJ Barea and yesterday in game 4, Lamar shoving Dirk and Andrew Bynum with absolutely no regard for human life forearming a midair JJ Barea as he went up for a layup. Barea lands awkwardly but thankfully is okay.
Bynum not only planted a defenseless Barea to the floor but also had no problem taking off his jersey before leaving the arena. To me this was metaphorically an act of defiance like wrestlers do when ripping their shirts off. This was a huge sign of disrespect to the Lakers organization and what they stand for.
A locker room reporter asked Bynum about the incident (pretty much giving him the opportunity to apologize) and Bynum simply replied showing no remorse...
"They were breaking us down," "So I just fouled somebody. I was just kind of salty about being embarrassed. It was embarrassing to have the smallest guy on the court keep running down the lane and making shots."
Laker legends Magic, James and Kareem expressed their discomfort.
Magic Johnson during the ESPN post game show called Bynum's and Odom's actions "Classless" and "Embarrassing". He also apologized to the Dallas fans, Dallas team and owner Mark Cuban.
James Worthy on 710 ESPN this morning said he was disgusted by Andrew Bynum's flagrant foul on J.J. Barea and unapologetic post game interview. He also continued to say that for the first time he felt ashamed to be a Laker to watch how that game unfolded...disgraceful.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tweeted, "Bynum's flagrant foul on Barea was a prime example of the frustration that the whole Laker team experienced. There is no joy in Laker land".
Take a second look. The main consensus around the nation is that Bynum will be fined a massive amount and suspended for the first 5 games of the 2011-12 season. What do you think should be the punishment?

Los Angeles Lakers (2) vs Dallas Mavericks (3)
Final Score @ Halftime: Mavericks 63, Lakers 39
Series: Mavs win 4-0
Halftime Post Game
The champs are down by 24pts at halftime so I'm posting my post game article now. Who am I kidding this game is over. Congratulations goes to the Dallas Mavericks for advancing to the Western Conference Championship.
Discouraging halftime statistics
Behind the arc stats. Dallas shot .733% behind the arc making 11 of their 15 shot attempts. Lakers shot .125% making 1 of their 8 attempts.
Bench stats. Dallas has scored 40pts vs L.A.'s 7. The Dallas bench has outscored the entire Lakers team (39pts).
Assists. Dallas 20, Lakers 5.
This is embarrassing. Magic said during the halftime show, "This is the worst the Lakers have ever played when they needed to win".
It's time for the champs to move out of the limelight and pass the torch that they've carried for so long now.
Thanks Lakers for everything. We are the luckiest fans.

Los Angeles Lakers (2) vs Dallas Mavericks (3)
Final Score: Mavericks 98, Lakers 92
Series: Mavs lead 3-0
Post game
The fire Laker fans have been waiting all season long for PJ to exude finally happens...but in May. Why did it take coach until being down 2-0 in the NBA semifinals to finally show his not so Zen counterpart? I liked the energy Phil displayed out there tonight. It was refreshing to see him do something besides whistle from the seated position. Okay, that's enough Phil Jackson bashing for me as he's already validated his HOF career many times. He doesn't deserve to have the finger pointed to his direction. It's time to execute and not fault. Screw that! It's all Gasol's fault! J/K.
As we've all heard, no NBA team has ever come back from being down 0-3. Do you believe in miracles? It's going to take 1 to win 4 straight. I'm Mr. Brightside here and I've found several reasons why not to frown Laker fans.
If a baby can fall 6 stories and survive, then we can surely survive from falling a mere 3 games back. If a dog can be thrown off a 6 story building and survive, being thrown into an opportunity to be the 1st NBA team to ever come back from an 0-3 deficit should be welcomed with open arms. If a pilot can land a plane with both engines out on the Hudson River, then beating Dallas should be a walk in Central Park. If 33 miners can be rescued after being trapped for 69 days, then we can certainly be rescued from the best player in NBA in the next 4 games.
I mean these stories of great survival should at least give Laker fans some kind of hope. Don't walk with your head down fans, we've had a great run. A fantastic run! We have 16 titles! Look at me trying to convince myself it could be better when it isn't. Ha!
Yes it sucks and it sucks even more knowing we won't 3-peat for Phil's last hurrah. The part that will sting the most is not winning our 17th to tie Boston's collection. To think Celtic fans will always have that over us is almost nauseating.
I'm not going to analyze the box score because we all know who didn't show up tonight. Let's just pull together and pull out all of our good luck charms and rub the hell out of them for Sunday's win or go home game.

Mav's 2, Lakers 0
|Need we say more?
Los Angeles Lakers (2) vs Dallas Mavericks (3)
Final Score: Mavericks 93, Lakers 81
Series: Mavs lead 2-0
Post game
First of all I want to vent out my frustrations not about what I saw tonight but more about what I heard. What the hell is wrong with these spoiled fans who can't accept anything less than perfect? To watch L.A. lose at home for the second time in a row is agonizing but to have to hear the boo birds in our own arena is just disrespectful. Please excuse the following raging rhetorical's.
What more do fans want from the reigning back-to-back champs? Do they expect the path to another L.A. 3-peat to come easy? Do they think the team will execute every play and make every shot? Have they not realized that there is no such thing as a "switch"? It's the NBA where fans hope their team plays like they appear on paper. Anything can happen.
It just so happen that the Lakers lost in consecutive order in the second round of the playoffs. Bad timing? Yes, but how many times has L.A. bounced back? You so-called fans who were there tonight because Daddy got you tickets need to just zip it. Don't boo the home team in their own arena. It's how the home crowd reacts when their team is struggling that is so important. Take a look at every other Arena's home crowd. Observe and take notes on how to properly cheer your team on. Man I wish I was there. My voice would be as noticeable as a camera flash midway Tiger's tee off swing.
I digress. [Deep breath]
I guess I got my wish when I said I'd rather see the Lakers lose convincingly than having to see a Kobe buzzer beating miss. Lakers are indeed in an uncomfortable spot. It's time to seriously regroup and dissect what is hurting the team. I can tell you what hurt the Lakers tonight. 2-20 behind the arc, 11-20 at the charity stripe, and the Lakers second unit contributing a whopping 12pts are all losing factors. Mav's bench scored a combined 30pts.
Tonight's bonehead play of the game was when Artest hit Barea in the face in the closing seconds. This cost him a (not so) early exit to the showers. Now there are talks about him possibly being suspended for game 3. D'oh!
To those true Laker fans who purchase nose-bleed tickets whose chants cannot be heard and to those brave Laker fans in Dallas who will be in attendance in Games 3 and 4, show your colors and cheer the Lakers on as if it were their last game, really.

7-Foot German Conquers Game 1
|Getty Images
Los Angeles Lakers (2) vs Dallas Mavericks (3)
Final Score: Lakers 94, Mavericks 96
Series: Mavs lead 1-0
Post game
Not since the 80's have the Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA playoffs. Maybe L.A. thought Dallas still had Sam Perkins and Mark Aguirre playing rather than the 4th quarter giants Dirk and J. Terry because this silly loss left fans in shock. Lakers had the W in the palm of their hands but just fell apart late in the 4th. Honestly I'd rather see L.A. lose convincingly than to see a stumbling Kobe in the closing seconds and consequently see Gasol turnover the ball to gift wrap the victory for Dallas. We couldn't stop the 7-foot German from scoring at will.
BTW how many times do the cameras need to point to that annoying owner of theirs? His face got more camera time than Kobe and Kobe was playing. Mark needs to smoke a Cuban in the owners box. We don't need him to hackle. Dude let your coach Jim Carrey do his job.
Again I'm left bitter after a game 1 loss so I'm desperately looking for anything to make me feel better and thank you Chicago for being my savior. The Bulls lose at home tonight against the 5th ranked Atlanta Hawks. Okay now I feel much better.
Let this be a lesson learned for the champs. Never have your big men defend the inbound pass late in games.

text: Hey folks: My bolt fell off one of my canti bosses this AMs commute. I noticed it at my train so couldn't analyze the situation. I have my canti arms/spring but no bolt. I don't think the bolt broke off, probably unscrewed and fell off. Does anyone know which size bolt I need. It is a Miyata 1000(mid 80's). I would like to buy it before I take the train home. If not, going to be an interesting ride Thanks, Charlie

The corn and water slurry leaves the germ separator for a second, more thorough, grinding in an impact or attrition-impact mill to release the starch and gluten from the fiber in the kernel.
The suspension of starch, gluten, and fiber flows over fixed concave screens, which catch fiber but allow starch and gluten to pass through. The fiber is collected, slurried, and screened again to reclaim any residual starch or protein, then piped to the feed house as a major ingredient of animal feeds. The starch-gluten suspension, called mill starch, is piped to the starch separators.
