For David King and Stacey Kemp the journey to Sochi was more challenging than for most. The couple, who failed to qualify on Tuesday for the final discipline of the pairs figure skating, which takes place on Wednesday, did well even to reach the Winter Olympics, having been starved of funding and forced to rely on the generosity of their parents to help them achieve their dreams.
Tuesday's elimination – after the British pair finished outside the top 16 qualifiers for Wednesday's free programme – was especially hard to take, given that the road to Sochi has also been potholed with financial difficulties.
King, 29, and Kemp, 25, finished 16th at the Vancouver Games in 2010, where they also became engaged, but since then their funding has run dry. Given that it costs the pair £25,000 a year for coaching and facilities alone, with travel costs on top, it is little wonder that their life post-Sochi remains uncertain.
"We should be in good shape for South Korea [in 2018] but we don't want to let our parents pay for everything any more," says King. "We want to go therebut whether we can afford it I don't know."
UK Sport, the country's elite-funding agency, spent around £14m helping winter athletes on their path towards Sochi, a figure dwarfed by the £315m spent on summer sports before London 2012. Figure skating, despite having been one of Britain's strongest disciplines at previous Winter Games, was awarded less than £175,000 in the four years up to Sochi, with King and Kemp receiving nothing from that allocation.
The pair, who trained for five years in Poland before moving to a base in Ellenton, Florida, where they have been for three years , admit that without the financial support of their parents they would not have been in Russia. "Since Vancouver we've had nothing," says King. "We get a little bit from our federation, who pay [something] towards our flights for major events, but nothing other than that."
"Going into Vancouver we had brilliant funding. We were really determined to do the next Olympics in Sochi. We were getting everything well funded and when we finished Vancouver the money just stopped, every last bit of it.
"It was a shock to us. Everyone kept saying that because London got the summer Olympics, therefore the winter athletes were losing out. That's the only reason we ever heard.
"We asked our parents for advice and they said they could fund us for the next couple of years and treat it like a university fund – like we were learning our trade as ice skaters. Without them we would have had to stop straight after Vancouver."
King and Kemp on Tuesday, have won eight British titles and secured their place at Sochi at a second qualifying event in September last year. However, were it not for the generosity of the rink owners in Ellenton, who have allowed them free time on the ice since they secured Olympic qualification, they would not have been representing Britain in the pairs.
King, who is from Carlisle, insists the funding problems have not dampened his enthusiasm for the sport but says the paucity of money may well be damaging the long-term future of figure skating in the UK.
"I've seen so many talented young skaters retire because of money," he says. "I think the facilities side of it in the UK is fine but then the funding is a bit more difficult. It's expensive – just the living costs, plus things that you wouldn't think about when you're earning a wage. It all adds up."
"Obviously some sports have more medal success and that's why UK Sport gives them funding, but figure skating has been the best medalled sport for Britain in the winter Olympics but we don't seem to get anything.
"That said, we don't complain. We're still living in Florida and with the best coaches in the world. We may not have a wage like most of the athletes we are competing against but we still try our best."

The afterglow of a gamma-ray burst in the southern constellation of Carina - more distant than any high-energy flare ever observed - has been detected by a network of spacecraft spread over the solar system, and has been traced back to its original explosion about 11 billion years ago.
The observations, made by a cluster of interplanetary probes called the Interplanetary Network, revealed that the burst probably came from a gigantic dying star more than 30 times as massive as the sun, when the universe was about one-tenth of its present age, said Kevin Hurley, a physicist at the Space Sciences Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley, and principal investigator of the gamma-ray burst experiment on board NASA's Ulysses spacecraft. Ulysses is one of several spacecraft studying the sun, and the only one that passes over the sun's poles.
"Detection of gamma-ray burst GRB 000131 at an extremely high red shift of 4.5 corresponds to a distance of about 11 billion light years away," said Hurley, whose results will be reported today at the Science of Gamma-Ray Bursts conference in Rome, an international colloquium on gamma ray bursts. "The light from this gigantic flash had traveled 11 billion years before reaching the Earth, and suggests that these explosive objects may provide us with the longest yardsticks yet for detecting and studying galaxies in the early universe."
Hurley's colleagues also will report details of the gamma ray observations at a press briefing today in Rome. Results of the observations will appear in a December issue of the European science journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
All objects in the universe are flying away from each other as a result of the Big Bang. More distant galaxies recede faster from Earth than nearby galaxies. This is observed as a Doppler effect, best explained by the pitch of a train whistle, which rises as the train approaches and diminishes as the train speeds away. Similarly, if a galaxy is approaching the Earth, all of the wavelengths in the galaxy's spectrum are shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the galaxy is receding from Earth, all wavelengths in the spectrum are shifted toward the red end in what is termed a "red shift." Observations of GRB 000131 revealed that it is receding and its light is shifted toward the red end of the spectrum by a factor of 4.5, which is a significant shift, Hurley said.
Before these observations were recorded, the most distant gamma-ray burst to be detected was GRB 971214, estimated to be less than 9 billion light years away in the constellation Ursa Major. A violent burst of gamma-ray radiation from this object was recorded on December 14, 1997, by Italian and U.S. satellites, including Ulysses.
"If this were the Olympics, we'd have the gold medal now," said Hurley, who runs the network of spacecraft, which includes the joint European Space Agency/NASA Ulysses spacecraft, NASA's Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR-Shoemaker) and Wind spacecraft, and the Italian Bepposax spacecraft. "Still, the fact that such a faint, distant source can produce a burst of gamma rays which appears to be of more or less average intensity from Earth hasn't been explained yet."
Gamma-ray bursts are mysterious flashes of high-energy light occurring typically about once a day somewhere in the sky. However, their origins remain a mystery to astronomers, most of whom believe they are enormous explosions that occur far across the universe. Only recently has enough evidence been accumulated to link the longest of these bursts to hypernovas: giant, extraordinarily intense, unusual supernovas, which are dying stars that collapse under the weight of their own mass.
At their peak, these bursts are by far the brightest emissions of gamma-ray radiation in the sky, Hurley said. In fact, gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions in the known universe. They generate more energy in a few seconds than the sun will generate in its entire lifetime.
Bursts are detected approximately once a week by these surveillance craft, although the Italian Bepposax spacecraft did not detect this burst. All four spacecraft are equipped with detectors to measure gamma rays, an energetic form of x-radiation, Hurley said. The gamma rays are impossible to detect from Earth because they are absorbed by the atmosphere. By timing the arrival of gamma rays as they reach the spacecraft, their arrival directions can be precisely determined.
"Although this distant burst was observed on January 31, 2000, it has taken scientists eight months to study its source," Hurley said. "The flash of high-energy gamma radiation appeared at first to be relatively normal. It was neither very faint, which might indicate that it had traveled a long way from its source, nor very bright, which would hint at a somewhat closer origin."
However, when a team of Finnish and Danish astronomers observed the object with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, they found a very dim optical afterglow, suggesting that it was indeed situated at an extremely large distance. To confirm this suspicion, they had to observe it repeatedly, adding the results of each observation to previous observations until the picture became clear.
Hurley and his colleagues believe a sharply focused beam of gamma-ray radiation probably made the observations possible. "It seems likely that the gamma rays were emitted in a narrow beam, like a searchlight, and we just happened to be in that line of sight," Hurley said. "The faintness of the optical radiation, which was not beamed, was indicative of its large distance."
Since gamma radiation is energetic enough to travel unimpeded throughout the entire universe, astronomers are excited about the prospects of using gamma-ray bursts and related optical observations to reveal the details of very distant galaxies and matter in the universe.
"Optical light traveling through extragalactic space on its way toward Earth changes in various ways," Hurley said. "Atoms of hydrogen can absorb part of it along the way and galaxies can actually bend the light. The effect that matter and galaxies in the very distant universe have on this distant light is one of the factors that makes the study of gamma-ray bursts so interesting."
Some theories suggest that gamma-ray bursts might be detectable out to red shifts of 10 or more - about two times farther out than the Jan. 31 gamma-ray burst - and, thus, act as a window on the very early universe.
"The observation of this burst can be viewed as another rung in the distance ladder," Hurley said. "Everything about gamma-ray bursts has proven to be a complete surprise to us, and this observation is a good example. Our data may indicate that we can indeed see much farther still."
The international Science of Gamma-Ray Bursts conference is being hosted by Italy's Consiglio Nazionale di Ricerche, the Italian national research organization that sponsors almost all scientific research in Italy.
Sponsors include the Istituto di Astrofisica Spaziale (Space Astrophysics Institute) in Rome; the Istituto di Technolgie e Studie delle Radiazioni Extraterrestri (Institute for Technology and the Study of Extraterrestrial Radiation) in Bologna; and the European Southern Observatory, a consortium of eight European countries that operates the world's most advanced multi-telescope observatory in Chile.

Comment: Effect of Increased Public Funds on Jewish Federations and Agencies
By A. L. Sudran
Jewish Communal Service Association of North America (JCSA), National Conference of Jewish Communal Service, Fall 1957
This piece comments on Max S. Perlman's paper on the effects of increased public funds on Jewish federations and agencies. The author highlights that Perlman comes from a part of the country where standards in use for public funds are relatively high as compared to other parts of the country where Jewish hospitals for example may not receive any public funds. The author explains how it is necessary for Jewish agencies that aren't receiving sufficient support to be more aggressive towards getting more action from the federal level. The piece concludes commending Perlman's work.

McGinley should be Ryder Cup captain, says McIlroy
By Matt Smith
ABU DHABI (Reuters) - World golf number one Rory McIlroy wants Ireland's Paul McGinley to be Europe's 2014 Ryder Cup skipper, rather than Colin Montgomerie, with a decision on the captaincy due on Tuesday.
Victorious 2010 captain Montgomerie has been linked to the position a second time for next year's event in the eight-times European Tour order of merit winner's native Scotland, something McIlroy disagrees with.
"I personally don't feel like Monty has anything to gain over this," the twice major winner said at a presentation unveiling him as the new Nike ambassador on Monday.
"If we go to Gleneagles and lose he's already a winning Ryder Cup captain. I'm fully behind Paul and I think Paul should get the job and hopefully he does."
World number three Luke Donald also voiced his support for McGinley when the Englishman wrote on Twitter on Monday: "I hope Paul McGinley gets his chance, he's been an amazing vice-captain and deserves an opportunity."
McIlroy played under three-times Ryder Cup winner McGinley for Britain and Ireland at the 2009 Seve Trophy against continental Europe and said his captaincy was awe-inspiring.
"He did an unbelievable job. (Of) any captain I've played under, I feel he was the best," said the 23-year-old, who opens his season at the Abu Dhabi Championship on Thursday.
"I think he'd make a really good captain. He doesn't leave any stone unturned. When he's been a vice-captain in the two Ryder Cups that I've played he's always brought a lot to the table and a lot of ideas." Continued...

st: xtabond2 for multiple dependent variables?
Tue, 14 Feb 2012 07:35:01 -0800 (PST)
I am wondering if xtabond2 can handle multiple dependent variables in a panel, simultaneously? Another possibility is xtivreg. Does xtivreg handle multiple dependent variables in a panel, simultaneously? Or do these models handle just one DV at a time?
I was told that there is no model in Stata that handles multiple dependent variables in panel models, simultaneously. I know how to run this model in Mplus using structural equation modeling--but was wondering if I can do it in Stata.

front end feels...
loose when I'm driving. It feels like the tires skip when I'm going around turns and when I hit a bump, it seems to sway to the side. I just had my starter replaced and I know they go through the front end to do this. Should I take it and have it tightened. Would the SRT sways help this at all?
Thanks for allll the input
Re: front end feels...
I would always take the side of: if it didnt do that before it went into a shop - GO BACK :) BUT, maybe do some general checking: sway bar/links/bushings, control arms. Make sure everything is ON and tight :) Any "weird" sounds?
Re: front end feels...
no sounds that I can remeber, but I'll double check tomorrow when I'm drivin around
Re: front end feels...
I'd start by checking the tire pressures because that's the easiest fix and could be the cause of all of your problems.
Re: front end feels...
ifi t were tire pressure, would his TPMS light be on? id go back to the hsop and have them go back over the front end. then again you could have worn out front end parts, maybe your links were on their way out and them uninstalling them put them on their last leg?

Your company can never reach its full efficiency potential without the basic infrastructure that makes it all possible. There are two fundamental dimensions to this infrastructure - material, which is defined with bills of material, and labor, which is defined with routings. In this presentation we cover routings, which enable you to define the labor and outside service processes that comprise the products you make. Routings are used to document how your products are made, what they cost in terms of labor, subcontract services, and manufacturing overhead, and are the driver of the shop control system that helps you deliver jobs on time.
Work centers provide the framework for defining the in-house processes that are used to make your products.
In this screen you define your work centers, which are the physical production areas or machines that comprise your shop.
On this tab you maintain hourly rates for setup, labor, and manufacturing overhead that get applied to all processes performed in this work center.
Within each work center, you can optionally create a library of standard processes that are used as templates for creating item routings.
Subcontractors provide the framework for outside services applied to your products, such as painting, plating, and heat treating.
In this screen, you set up all your subcontractors.
In this tab you can optionally set up a library of standard subcontract processes that are used as templates for creating item routings.
Item routings are also entered within the Bills of Material screen.
Here on the routing tab, you define the processes that are performed to make the product. You can use the Routing Generator to rapidly generate a routing from work center and subcontractor standard processes.
Within each routing sequence, you specify the work center, machine, setup time, and cycle time for each process. You also can enter unlimited job traveler notes as well as step-by-step tasks.
If during the course of the job you sent parts our for subcontract services such as painting, plating, or heat-treating, the outside process is defined with a routing sequence. Here you see the subcontract supplier, the price, and a conversion multiplier if the service is priced in a different unit of measure than the item's unit of measure.
You cannot reach your full efficiency potential without the ability to fully define the labor and outside service processes that comprise the products you make. DBA gives you all the tools you need to rapidly create the routings that play such a pivotal role in product costing, process documentation, and most importantly, the shop control.system that helps you deliver jobs on time.

It will be very interesting how this one pans out. Ill be watching,
It said five environmental groups joining the effort, so my question, is this about the bees or is this about "anti chemical" going against chemical with the mask of the bees ?
just for the record, it wouldnt hurt my feelings if they quit using this stuff.
but bringing back the crop dusters does not do us any justice either
this is about the bees.
These bee keepers like Steve Ellis and Jeff Anderson have been at this for years. spending countless hours for the sake of saving the bees.
A law suit of this extent may need more than just a few crazy beekeepers.
maybe they will achieve the right angle at the issue going after the government instead of targeting the companies themselves

Female Lawmaker Assassinated in Libya
A Libyan security official says a female lawmaker in the outgoing parliament has been killed in a restive eastern city known as a stronghold of Islamic extremists.
The official says unknown assailants sprayed bullets at Fareha al-Barqawi near a gas station in the eastern city of Darna.
Al-Barqawi was a member of a liberal-leaning political bloc in Libya's outgoing parliament. Her husband was a longtime political prisoner under deposed dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
The official didn't provide further details and spoke on condition of anonymity for fear for his own safety.
Targeted killings have been rampant in Libya over the past two years in the absence of a strong police force, a unified military or an effective judiciary. The slayings are blamed on militias, which successive governments have struggled to control.

While the above is funny, there is a more serious side to this story… this comes from Libertarian Republican posting on it, I add more from the AIM.org article it comes from.
Let me say that I am personally glad Weinergate has entered into the 2.0 phase. It ruins any further political aspirations of power Weiner may have fancied himself advancing towards… which limit somewhat the ability of our nations enemies to infiltrate our institutions in this politically correct meleeafter, that is, this term for the Marxist, and yes, racist Obama.
"If God is 'dead,' somebody is going to have to take his place. It will be megalomania or erotomania, the drive for power or the drive for pleasure, the clenched fist or the phallus, Hitler or Hugh Heffner" ~ Malcolm Muggeridge.
The press is complicit in this with worship of the political left:
Here is the AIM article:
…Sorry to interrupt the Best Enabler of a Sociopath Award ceremony but, to recap, Ms. Abedin worked for many years at a journal that promotes Islamic-supremacist ideology that was founded by a top al-Qaeda financier, Abdullah Omar Naseef. Naseef ran the Rabita Trust, a formally designated foreign terrorist organization under American law. Ms. Abedin and Naseef overlapped at the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs (JMMA) for at least seven years. Throughout that time (1996–2003), Ms. Abdein worked for Hillary Clinton in various capacities.
Ms. Abedin's late father, Dr. Zyed Abedin, was recruited by Naseef to run the JMMA in Saudi Arabia. The journal was operated under the management of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, a virulently anti-Semitic and sharia-supremacist organization. When Dr. Abedin died, editorial control of the journal passed to his wife, Dr. Saleha Mahmood Abedin — Huma's mother.
Huma's Pakistani-born mother, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, PhD, is an associate professor of sociology at Dar Al-Hekma College in Jeddah. Huma Abedin. Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Abedin began working for Hillary Clinton as a White House intern in 1996 and now serves as the Secretary of State's aide and "body woman." In the October 25, 2010 issue of TIME, Huma Abedin was featured as a rising political star in our "40 Under 40" special. At the time, Abedin named AnthonyWeiner.com as her go-to political blog.
Saleha Abedin is closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and to supporters of violent jihad. Among other things, she directs an organization – the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child. The IICWC, through its parent entity (the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief), is a component of the Union for Good (also known as the Union of Good), another formally designated terrorist organization. The Union for Good is led by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the notorious Muslim Brotherhood jurist who has issued fatwas calling for the killing of American military and support personnel in Iraq as well as suicide bombings in Israel. (As detailed here, the Obama White House recently hosted Qaradawi's principal deputy, Sheikh Abdulla bin Bayyah, who also endorsed the fatwa calling for the killing of U.S. troops and personnel in Iraq.)
Like Sheikh Qaradawi, who helped write the charter for the IICWC, Saleha Abedin is an influential sharia activist who has, for example, published a book called Women in Islam that claims man-made laws enslave women. It reportedly provides sharia justifications for such practices as female-genital mutilation, the death penalty for apostates from Islam, the legal subordination of women, and the participation of women in violent jihad. Dr. Abedin has nevertheless been hailed in the progressive press as a "leading voice on women's rights in the Muslim world" (to quote Foreign Policy). What they never quite get around to telling you is that this means "women's rights" in the repressive sharia context.
Back to daughter Huma. In the late mid to late Nineties, while she was an intern at the Clinton White House and an assistant editor at JMMA, Ms. Abedin was a member of the executive board of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at George Washington University, heading its "Social Committee." The MSA, which has a vast network of chapters at universities across North America, is the foundation of the Muslim Brotherhood's infrastructure in the United States. Obviously, not every Muslim student who joins the MSA graduates to the Brotherhood — many join for the same social and networking reasons that cause college students in general to join campus organizations. But the MSA does have an indoctrination program, which Sam Tadros describes as a lengthy process of study and service that leads to Brotherhood membership — a process "designed to ensure with absolute certainty that there is conformity to the movement's ideology and a clear adherence to its leadership's authority." The MSA gave birth to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the largest Islamist organization in the U.S. Indeed the MSA and ISNA consider themselves the same organization. Because of its support for Hamas (a designated terrorist organization that is the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestinian branch), ISNA was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, in which several Hamas operatives were convicted of providing the terrorist organization with lavish financing.
Steve Emerson fills in blanks that just make your jaw drop!
….A little more background: At the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, Ms. Abedin [Huma's Mom] was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The journal was the Institute's main product. It promotes the fundamentalist version of sharia championed by the Muslim Brotherhood, by Abdullah Omar Naseef, and by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. Ms. Abedin was assistant editor from 1996 through 2008 — from the time she began working as an intern in the Clinton White House, until the time shortly before she took her current position as Secretary Clinton's deputy chief of staff.
The Institute was founded by Naseef in the late 1970s. He is a hugely influential Saudi who was then the vice president of the King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia. Naseef recruited an academic colleague, Zyed Abedin — Ms. Abedin's late father — to be the journal's managing editor.
Zyed Abedin thus moved his family to Saudi Arabia from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Ms. Abedin was about two at the time. Her mother, Dr. Saleha Mahmood Abedin, is also an academic and worked for the journal from its inception. She would eventually take the journal over after her husband died in 1993. She remains its editor to this day. Huma Abedin's brother Hassan, another academic, is an associate editor at the journal.
Not long after the journal started, Naseef became the secretary general of the Muslim World League. As the Washington Post has noted, the MWL was launched by Muslim Brotherhood activists with the financial backing of the Saudi royal family. It is often referred to as a charity, but it is really a global propagation enterprise — exporting the Brotherhood's virulently anti-Western brand of Islamist ideology throughout the world, very much including in the United States.
There are few positions in Muslim Brotherhood circles more critical than secretary general of the Muslim World League. In fact, one of the MWL's founders was Sa'id Ramadan, the right-hand and son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood's legendary founder. The MWL is part of the foundation of the grand jihad — what the Brotherhood also calls its "civilization jihad" against the West.
Nevertheless, the MWL has a long history of deep involvement in violent jihad as well. It was under the auspices of the MWL that, in 1988, Naseef created a charity called the Rabita Trust. To direct the Rabita Trust, Naseef selected Wael Hamza Jalaidan. Jalaidan is not just a member of al-Qaeda. He was a close associate of Osama bin Laden's and actually helped establish the al Qaeda terror network.
According to Osama bin Laden himself, the Muslim World League was one of al-Qaeda's three top funding sources. Consequently, after 9/11, Naseef's Rabita Trust was formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under U.S. law. So were branches of the al-Haramain Islamic Foundation and the International Islamic Relief Organization, two other Saudi-backed "charities" spawned by the MWL.
Throughout the time that he ran the MWL and the Rabita Trust, Naseef kept his hand in at the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs, where the Abedin family continued to run his journal. In fact, Naseef continued to be listed on the masthead as a member of the "advisory editorial board" at the IMMA's journal until 2003.
We might hazard a guess as to why his name suddenly disappeared after that: Naseef's involvement in funding al Qaeda was so notorious that, in 2004, he was named as a defendant in the civil case brought by victims of the 9/11 atrocities. (In 2010, a federal court dropped him from the suit — not because he was found uninvolved, but because a judge reasoned the American court lacked personal jurisdiction over him.)
So to summarize, Ms. Abedin had a very lengthy affiliation with an institute founded by a top figure at the nexus between Saudi terror funding, Brotherhood ideology, and al Qaeda's jihad against the United States. Even if the only pertinent information we had was her personal tie to Naseef, that would be extraordinarily disturbing. But as the five House members pointed out, there is much more.
Thank You C-SPAN for airing this, and a friend who had been on top of this info a while ago.
A presentation of new information concerning Muslim Brotherhood influence operations inside and aimed at the Obama administration and their impact on U.S. policy. The briefing will include additional revelations concerning Huma Abedin, Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Ever since five Members of Congress — Representatives Michele Bachmann (MN) Louie Gohmert (TX), Trent Franks (AZ), Lynn Montgomery (GA) and Tom Rooney (FL) — were attacked by their colleague, Rep. Keith Ellison (MN), for asking the Inspectors General of federal departments to investigate evidence of Muslim Brotherhood influence operations within the U.S. government, there has been much heat and relatively little light on the subject. The group that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has dubbed "the National Security Five" has been subjected to character assassination, had its motives and integrity impugned and been ridiculed for acting irresponsibly, without any basis for its request to the IGs. In fact, it has been the five legislators' critics of both parties who have failed to do their homework. Fortunately one of the Nation's most knowledgeable and respected authorities regarding the Muslim Brotherhood's "civilization jihad" – former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy – has done his due diligence. In successive articles at National Review Online and PJMedia, Mr. McCarthy has explored some of the evidence that individuals with ties to the Brotherhood are working inside or advising the Obama administration. He shares — and, with his characteristic rigor, further validates — the concerns expressed by Mrs. Bachmann et al. that American policy may be influenced by such officials, advisors and "liaisons" to the Muslim-American community. (Huma's father pictured)
The Wall Street Journal asks a while back, "So who is Huma Abedin?" And really, she has DIRECT ties to Al Qaeda. And National Review states plainly that:
America's enemies are Islamic supremacists: Muslims adherent to a totalitarian interpretation of Islam who, like Soviet Communists, seek to impose their ideology throughout the world, very much including the United States.
While England Slept is a 1938 non-fiction book written by Winston Churchill. It highlighted the United Kingdom's lack of military preparation to face the threat of Nazi Germany's expansion. Similarly, even leftists have drawn their attention to the problem's of a weak post-911 America (see: While America Sleeps: A Wake-up Call for the Post-9/11 Era). And it is, it is time to WAKE UP!
Walid Shoebat points out the following:
Once again, the facts about Huma Abedin are these:
- She is a devout Muslim.
- She grew up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
- Her parents were placed in charge of an Institute founded by al-Qaeda financier Abdullah Omar Naseef.
- She served on the Board of that Institute for over a decade and with Naseef for a few of those years.
- Her mother is one of 63 leaders in the Muslim Sisterhood.
- No one has produced her Form 86.
- She is seeking to become the first lady of the city that was hit on 9/11 by the group her one-time boss funded (and she's right on track).
Huma's defenders will only acknowledge bullet items 1 and 2. Instead of acknowledging any of the other facts, they smear those who point to them.

Everyone appreciates being recognized for doing good work. If a raise or a promotion aren't in the cards, having a couple of paragraphs praising your work appear on the White House's official blog isn't too shabby a substitute. It's even more remarkable if the work garnering attention is done by a 23-year-old working in a town of 5,000 people.
This is the reality for Dustin Haisler, the CIO of Manor, Texas, who is gaining recognition as an innovator in local government. Last year, Haisler earned praise (including some from this magazine) for dispersing inexpensive Quick Response (QR) codes - two-dimensional bar codes - all over Manor. When QR codes are read by mobile phones with the appropriate free software, users are directed to a Web site that has more information about the tagged object.
But it was one of Haisler's newer endeavors, a Web platform called Manor Labs, that President Barack Obama's tech team found appealing. Manor Labs, which launched in late October, is a Web portal where citizens can submit ideas to improve their city. From conception to (possibly) reality, every decision city officials make about a submitted idea is put in plain sight. At the same time, users can participate in and affect an idea's development. For a president who is trying to deliver on promises of government transparency, it's easy to see why the White House is giving Manor Labs a closer look.
Haisler likes to describe Manor Labs as an open innovation portal. "Instead of just taking ideas," he said, "we're taking those ideas and turning them into actual solutions off the platform."
Manor Labs features elements of social media sites like Facebook, GovLoop and Digg, where users promote or bury items submitted by others. Manor Labs depends on user-submitted ideas. When users register with Manor Labs - something anyone, anywhere can do - they're given 25,000 "Innobucks," a virtual currency for use on the site. Various activities, such as commenting, voting or submitting an idea, earn users more Innobucks. If users earn enough, they can shop at the Manor Labs store for prizes like a Police Department T-shirt or even buy the right to have a week named after them.
Watch Video: Tiny Manor, Texas, proves that digital innovation isn't just for big cities.
The cornerstone of Manor Labs is soliciting ideas from city residents, or anyone else, to make the city a better place to live. What makes Manor Labs appealing besides the prizes is that users can actively participate in making an idea come to fruition. When an idea is submitted, it goes into what Haisler calls the "idea funnel," which has four levels: incubation, validation, emergence and closed.
"When an idea is suggested, it immediately falls into the incubation category," Haisler said. "Once it's in that category, people can vote and comment on it, and whoever submitted the idea can recruit team members to be a part of it. They must have [a certain number of] votes, page views, comments, and so much 'buzz' behind their idea before it advances. When they meet all of those criteria, the idea automatically graduates to the idea validation stage. So there's no staff involvement. Once it's at the validation stage, a department head will evaluate the idea and he or she will review it on a series of metrics."
The metrics include determining what problem the idea addresses, whether it's sustainable and how much, if anything, it will cost to implement. If the idea fails in

Bread. July 2007
Entertainment news: Ian McKellen
I don't think Yawning Bread has
ever carried entertainment news. I wouldn't know Posh Spice from tumeric.
But in the last few days, I have received 3 emails asking whether actor
Ian McKellen ever made it to a gay bar and what else he said on the
The readers were following up on the mention I made of him in the article This month, the Christian rightwing finds 3 more villains.
Well, the short answers are Yes and Yes. Below you will find eyewitness accounts. However, as I set about organising my thoughts before typing words out on my keyboard, I realised that this is more than just entertainment news. These accounts hint at a larger story, and my thoughts on this score will bring up the rear of this essay.
But first, the blow by blow account of Ian McKellen's discovery of Singapore, in the best tradition of entertainment news -- the minutiae of celebrities' lives. As you may recall, McKellen was asked in a TV interview on Tuesday, 17 July 2007, what he hoped to see in his free time in Singapore.
He replied, "I'll be rather controversial. I'm a gay man, and I gather that that's not quite the proper thing to be although maybe the laws are going to change and I do hope they do change. I've been looking for a gay bar, if there's such a thing. So that's what I've been looking for.... If you've got any ideas...."
On Thursday [corrected: Friday] evening, he found his gay bar. Here's a report posted on Signel, the gay email forum:
McKellen was not just the celebrity receiving acclaim. He was an agitator in his own right. Earlier in the week, he told Class 95 radio, "Just treat us with respect like we treat everybody else and the world will be a better place, I think."
"Coming to Singapore where unfortunately you've still got those dreadful laws that we British left behind ... it's about time Singapore grew up, I think, and realised that gay people are here to stay."
Then he did an interview with Reuters [1]. To the question whether he was aware that Singapore senior statesman Lee Kuan Yew has said it would be difficult to repeal the law on sexual acts between men because of popular opposition from the country's conservative majority, he responded, "Yes. Then he must expect gay people not to come here, he must expect gay people to emigrate, he must expect no company to have their gay employees work here."
That Reuters report was distributed around the world.
Sunday, McKellen went to watch the
latest play by Alfian Sa'at – the guy the Ministry of Education felt was
unfit to be a teacher. The eyewitness account continues:
* * * * *
As McKellen said to Reuters, "As a gay man invited here with the full cognisance of the government, how can they not notice that my right to have sex [is] inhibited by the country?"
"This happens to be a law that I find personally offensive," he added, "and I don't think it should be on the statute books."
Few heterosexuals understand this. Why must gays be so gay? they tend to ask. Why must their gayness and the the law matter so much to them? Why can't they be like us?
Doesn't it sound like Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady --
So McKellen lands here, he reads the highly prejudiced letters in the press, he mixes with gay Singaporeans and hears their stories. He watches a gay play in which Section 377A of the Penal Code is discussed.
What do you think he's going to say about Singapore after he's left our shores? He, the celebrity with huge access to the media all over the world?

2003 WRX Sedan
Currently I have a Clarion CX400 stereo and Infinity speakers (rear). I really need new speakers for the front and checking into amplifiers. I'm not looking for heavy bass, just clarity of my music (Metal, Alternative Rock and Jazz).
So with that in mind, would you all be able to recommend some good front speakers and a good amp?
I'm thinking of purchasing this amp:
Amazon.com: MRP-F300 - Alpine 4-Channel 300 Watt V-Power Series Amplifier: Automotive
note: I've noticed even with my current setup, my front doors tend to vibrate and distort my music. Any helpful recommendations?

Update: Investigators work to identify Jefferson County crash victims
DANDRIDGE, Tenn. - UPDATE: 8:46 a.m. Thursday from news conference in Dandridge with Tennessee Highway Patrol and Jefferson County EMA.
Investigators say they're working to identify victims of a crash in Jefferson County, Tennessee on Thursday.
According to Sergeant Bill Miller with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the crash was so horrific they will need dental records to positively identified some.
In a Thursday morning news conference Miller said 14 patients remain at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. He says two of those patients are critical, five are serious and seven are stable.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol also found out the bus was owned by a church in Statesville, North Carolina. They say the 18 on board were on a senior trip. Investigators have not found out who the bus driver is at this time. They tell us the bus had seat belts.
Miller says the bus had a malfunction causing it to hit a Tahoe and then a tractor trailer which ignited the fire. He tells us some people were pinned in the bus.
Now, investigators say they will determine the speed, interview witnesses and find the service records from the bus.
They tell us twenty agencies worked this scene and some bystanders also came to help out. Crews were there within five minutes.
Interstate 40 has reopened.
UPDATE: 5:50 a.m. Thursday from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
As of 5:15 a.m. Thursday, all lanes of Interstate 40 eastbound and westbound at mile marker 424 are now open and traffic is moving.
UPDATE: 10:26 p.m.: From the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
The American Red Cross has provided a contact number for individuals who may have had loved ones involved in this afternoon's bus crash in Jefferson County (TN). Those individuals can contact 865-305-5716 for more information.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol will participate in a press conference held by the Jefferson County EMA and EMS on tomorrow at 8 a.m. on this afternoon's crash on Interstate-40 westbound at mile marker 423 in Jefferson County.
Troopers said the roadway could remain closed until Thursday morning.
We heard from witnesses at the scene.
"Yeah it was a loud boom," said Harold Ross. "It sounded like an explosion and I was several miles away"
A charter bus on Interstate 40, with 18 people on board, hit the back of a Sports Utility Vehicle and then collided with a tractor trailer, Tennessee Highway Patrol told us.
"I was leaving the golf course,it was 2:00, 2:30 range,and I saw 2 shoots of smoke, black smoke go up in the air," Ross said. "Then they came together. They started out separate and they came together almost instantly."
The tractor trailer erupted in flames on impact.
Tennessee Highway Patrol told us the driver, the only person on board, was killed during the crash.
Six people from the bus also died, and one person riding in the SUV.
There were three people in the SUV when it was hit.
"At the scene, it had been confirmed there are at least eight individuals who are now deceased in the crash," said Bill Miller, of the Tennessee Highway Patrol. "We hope and pray there will be no more."
14 people were rushed to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville for injuries, Miller said.
Eight of those people are in critical condition, he said. Two people are seriously injured and four people are stable.
UPDATE 6:14 p.m.: TDOT tweeted a new detour for route I-40 westbound in Jefferson County -- you can take Exit 424 to SR 113, to SR 341, to I-81S at Exit 4.
UPDATE 4:34 p.m.: The AP is reporting that eight people have died in the accident.
Tennessee Department of Safety public information officer Dayla Qualls released the following information:
"• Three vehicle incident involving tractor trailer, chartered bus and SUV, on I-40 westbound at mile marker 423 in Jefferson County at approximately 2 p.m. (EDT).
• Preliminary crash description: bus was traveling eastbound on Interstate 40, the left front tire blew out, bus then traveled across the median, clipped the westbound Tahoe, continued traveling and struck the tractor trailer on the left side. The tractor trailer immediately caught fire and the bus overturned.
• It appears there were 18 occupants on the bus, three occupants in the SUV and one occupant in the tractor trailer. Bus occupants are from Statesville, NC.
• Preliminary number of fatalities is eight (6 – bus; 1 – tractor trailer; 1 – SUV).

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We help good people who have found a dog and are keeping it safe until it is spayed/neutered, vetted, and ready to be adopted.
The endpoint is for the dog to get all the love and vet care needed while living in a safe indoor home. With time & discipline, rescues become wonderful companions prepared for the rest of their lives as an indoor dog with outdoor privileges.
The rescues are ALWAYS in need of good foster homes in this area who will care for the pup while it is posted for adoption.
Please send email for more information on fostering and helping the pups in our great community as well as all over the Southeast USA!
All good things,
We are a grass-roots resource helping good people who assist abandoned dogs in the street, at the park, etc. Typically the dogs find us, but it all works the same way. We loan to good Samaritans in the community kennels, give collars, leashes, food, vaccinations, & can pay for heartworm testing as well as getting the dog spayed/neutered.
We only have one chance to make a difference in the life of a stranger and sometimes that stranger will have 4 legs. Please be someone who helps companion animals! Please adopt a rescue! There are thousands of animals literally dying to be adopted. Please don't chain your dog! Please help your community's companion animals live a safe & healthy life!
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Camber Kit?
To those who have lowered their GC's- are you running a camber Kit? I just dropped mine with eibach and the front camber looks off to my naked eye. I can't tell if it's just an optical illusion or not.
Also, what kit is recommended and a part # and/orl ink would be great!
Re: Camber Kit?
The eibach kit should not need a camber kit. They were able to get me back into factor specs with no issues. Remember there is some camber even with the factory setup.
Re: Camber Kit?
I thought the same thing but the shop that did my alignment said it was "way off" and said they weren't able to adjust the camber settings? I know it's limited but should be able to be adjusted. The drop was only 1.5".
Keep us posted. I actually have two print outs of my vehicle being within factory specs.
Black ops has the arms available for the mid and aggressive road magnet springs.check them out.

Rhus toxicodendron
This remedy is useful when stiffness and pain are worse on initial motion and improve as movement continues. Overuse may lead to soreness, pain, and further stiffening. Discomfort is relieved by warmth and worse in cold, damp weather.
Ruta graveolens
This remedy is indicated when overuse of joints and irritation of nerves lead to tremendous stiffness. A feeling of bruising and lameness may be present, even when the wrist is allowed to rest. Weakness in the arms and wrists, especially after repetitive tasks causing wear and tear on the joints and nerves, often indicates Ruta.
Viola odorata
This remedy is useful for many conditions that involve the wrist and hand, especially the right. Pain and numbness may extend from the wrist through the hand and into the fingers, and the hands and arms may tremble. Symptoms are worse from getting cold.
This remedy can be used for flare-ups of inflammation or new injuries caused by repetitive use of the fingers and wrists. The area feels bruised and sore, and cramping may occur. External application of herbal Arnica lotion or ointment may help to ease the swelling and soreness, while other remedies are used internally.
Calcarea phosphorica
When this remedy is indicated, pain is felt in the bones and nerves of the wrists and arms, and stiffness and discomfort may also involve the neck. Cold and drafts often aggravate discomfort. The person may feel irritable and sensitive, or weak from overwork and pain.
This remedy is useful when carpal tunnel syndrome is long-lasting or recurring. The area feels bruised, with drawing, burning pains. Stiffness and a feeling of weakness and contraction may be felt in the muscles of the hand and forearm. The condition is worse from getting cold and improved by warm applications. People who need this remedy often feel best in rainy weather.
This remedy is indicated in carpal tunnel syndrome when the wrists (especially the left) are stiff with burning pain, and significantly relieved by applying ice or ice-cold water. Because of so much tightness, the person may feel a need to stretch the wrist, despite the pain.
This remedy may be useful if sharp or shooting pains are felt extending from the wrist. Hypericum is known for its soothing effect when body parts containing many nerves are injured, as well as in other traumatic nerve conditions.

Coles Myer yesterday moved to quash damaging speculation about its retail trading performance by claiming that it still expects to hit its previously forecast full-year profit targets of $425-435 million.
"Just go back to what we said at the annual meeting in November, and it's not changed one bit," Coles Myer chief executive John Fletcher said yesterday.
The profit confirmation helped fuel a rebound in Coles Myer's shares which, after falling 6 per cent in the past two weeks, slumped as low as $5.90 yesterday. The shares ended 10 cents above their previous close at $6.16.
The retailer has already flagged that later this year it may need to make hefty adjustments to the way it values stocks if, as is planned, the company adopts accounting guidelines proposed in the United States.
At the same time, Mr Fletcher and Alan Williams, his most senior executive in charge of the supermarkets and liquor businesses, jointly denied that Mr Williams, 55, was leaving the company for anything other than personal retirement reasons.
Mr Williams, who did not complete high school but spent four decades at Coles Myer, will retire late this year. He plans to enrol at University of Melbourne in 2004 to pursue his interest in Australian political history.
"I believe I will be leaving them (the supermarkets businesses) in very good shape. The profitability of them has been good, sustainable profit for the last 10 years and there is no reason to believe that won't continue. There's still a lot of challenges . . . but it will be left in good condition."
Mr Fletcher's profit guidance came five days ahead of the release of second-quarter sales figures, which are likely to show that sales revenue from the supermarkets and liquor businesses fell below budget as rival Woolworths offered its customers bigger discounts on petrol bought from its bowsers.
Coles Myer's petrol retailing strategy has been delayed in the past year, but Mr Fletcher plans to reveal more details on Friday of how the company will sell fuel from Coles Myer-operated service stations and convenience stores.
"There's no question that petrol is the main difference (between Coles and Woolworths' Safeway stores)," he said. "The board has been kept up to date along the way, but whatever we can say about fuel we will say on Friday."
"It's important that we attack that point of differentiation."
Mr Fletcher said the food and liquor businesses, including Coles, Bi-Lo, Liquorland, Vintage Cellars and Quaffers, were "on track to achieve double-digit earnings growth in the first half", but he noted that sales growth had been hit by Woolworths' petrol strategy.
Sales at Myer Grace Bros are expected to have risen strongly in late November as shoppers stocked up early with Christmas gifts. But the department store is believed to have weathered much tougher trading in the first three weeks of December.

The recent protests in Iran, as well as Hezbollah's political defeat in Lebanon days earlier, are the result of Barack Obama's speech in Cairo on June 4.
Such nonsense was actually reported by the Washington Post Tuesday.
At this time, it appears the real Obama Derangement Syndrome is creating a nexis between anything good that happens anywhere on the planet to some presidential deed (h/t Hot Air):
Obama's approach to Iran, including his assertion that the unrest there represents a debate among Iranians unrelated to the United States, is an acknowledgment that a U.S. president's words have a limited ability to alter foreign events in real time and could do more harm than good. But privately Obama advisers are crediting his Cairo speech for inspiring the protesters, especially the young ones, who are now posing the most direct challenge to the republic's Islamic authority in its 30-year history.
One senior administration official with experience in the Middle East said, "There clearly is in the region a sense of new possibilities," adding that "I was struck in the aftermath of the president's speech that there was a connection. It was very sweeping in terms of its reach." [...]
His Cairo speech sought to clear the air -- in Iran's case, by acknowledging the U.S. role in the 1953 coup that toppled the democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. Translated into Farsi, the speech was delivered to Iranians in real time through a State Department-sponsored text-messaging service.
Obama's advisers say the outreach may have contributed to the defeat in Lebanese elections a few days later of a coalition led by Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed party, that had been predicted to win. In recent days, administration officials have pointed to the Iranian demonstrations as further evidence of Obama's possible influence in the region.
Asked Friday whether the administration believes Obama's outreach to Iran and the Muslim world is affecting events on the ground, press secretary Robert Gibbs said, "You're witnessing something that many people might not have presumed or imagined . . . just a few -- even a few weeks or a few days ago."
To be sure, it is not at all surprising to witness this kind of arrogance from the current White House. It just would have been nice to see the Post cite some Middle East experts with a different view than that being offered by the Administration.
For example, isn't it equally likely if not more so that Iranians and Lebanese see a free and democratic Iraq as something to emulate?
Unfortunately, the Post didn't offer this alternative explanation.
I wonder why.
