Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Vash01, Aug 29, 2012.
How technically strong are most bronze medalists for that to be a reasonable complaint?
It meets all of the fluff piece requirements. The struggles, the home court, the dedication to her mom, the iffy shot at bronze at best, her actually pulling it off, etc... It's the most sappy made for tv movie moment on the list, even perhaps more than lulu's comeback in 98 which is currently in 2nd.
When you're a Kwan or Debi and expected to take gold, perhaps silver and then only manage bronze, there's a certain amount of backlash.
Most of my favorites are from the wayback machine.
Pewter - Hana Maskova 1968 an athletic and original skater who should be better remembered
Bronze - Chen, 1998. Not so much for the skating, which was rough but for the emotions.
Silver - Christine Errath, 1976, former world champion (only big GDR skater not coached by Jutta Muller?) a stylish and athletic competitor who's also underrated
Gold - Janet Lynn, 1972 who virtually reinvented freeskating.
Why? Everyone else on this poll had glaring errors too including Kwan in 2002 and Chen in 1998. The one exception might be Chen in 94 but she still had alot of development left at that point.
As for those who think Nagasu's LP in Vancouver was better, Nagasu's LP was probably better than everyone else on this poll had she won the bronze as well. Remember the Vancouver ladies event was the best ladies event in history. Other than possibly the silver medalist all the other positions would have beaten anyone else in any skating or Olympic competition at the same position in history probably.
I voted for the lovely and talented Joannie Rochette.
It's not like Joannie didn't have any glaring errors either...
Besides, Lulu is still superior artistry-wise to Joannie as artistic as Joannie is.
Lu' 94 artistry is not superior. Lu's 98 artistry is probably superior (although she definitely wasnt up to her 95 and 96 standard of artistry) but her technical by then is WAY way weaker, even with Joannie making a bit more in mistakes (well only when thinking under Chen's own scoring system of the time, under COP nearly every jump she did in 98 would have been <). I am surprised Lu's 98 has so many votes as it is, far more than I am surprised at Joannie leading this poll. I would have expected her 94 performance to have more. In a head to head competition Chen from 94, Kwan from 2002, Rochette from 2010, would have all easily beaten Chen from 98. It is obvious many are just going for the personal victory or emotion of the performance aspect, not the best quality skate. She after all barely edged a mediocre Butyrskaya with major mistakes, limited technical content, and a nervy, stiff, and joyless performance which was overall about 55% of the caliber of her World title winning performance to that same program the very next year.
On another note there are many who didnt agree with Chen's 98 bronze too, in fact more than disagreed with Joannie's in 2010 which were mostly a few overenthusiastic Nagasu ubers, and this despite the overall competition was far below the 2010 level.
Yeah, this is probably the only FSU poll naming the Kween as a choice, that she does not win. A lot of Kweenatics remain in denial about how she fared in both of her Olympics. Sorta like old-style Soviet Union, in which entire events were erased from history. Other than the falls, I thought that Michelle skated a more pleasant (less tight) Olys LP in 2002 than she did in 1998.
As for this poll, the absolute-best Olympics bronze medalist lady ever was Janet Lynn in Sapporo-1972. One of the greatest all-time skaters, period.
I don't find 2010 Ladies event to be that memorable. The winner was a forgone conclusion, more or less, and the 2nd and 3rd place finishers did not skate up to their full potential. 1994, 1998, and 2002 had more thrills and unexpected results.
Maybe, but when you have to go to the 12th ranked LP to find the first fallin ladies free skate competition, you've had something rare. In terms of pure skating, I'd love to see another competition of that leve.
Lets put it this way. Put all the Olympic ladies competitions from 1994 to 2010 and imagine what the results would have been. I suspect something like:
Gold- Yu Na Kim 2010 (duh). All 9 1st place votes under 6.0 atleast a 20 point win margin (short program alone would be atleast 10 points higher) under COP.
Silver- Under 6.0 Tara from 98. Under COP probably Asada from 2010 due to a huge short program lead over either Tara or Kwan from 98.
Bronze- Under 6.0 Kwan from 98. Under COP Kwan from 98 as well probably.
4th- Under 6.0 Asada from 2010. Under COP Tara from 98.
5th- Under 6.0 Nagasu from 2010. Under COP Rochette from 2010.
6th- Reverse of 5th place.
7th- Arakawa from 2006.
8th- Under 6.0 Hughes from 2002 I guess. Under COP Cohen from 2006.
9th- Kerrigan from 1994 I guess.
10th- Chen from 1994.
If we went down to the top 20, 10 to 12 of the top 20 would all come from 2010, as well as 4 of the top 6 as it is.
LOL. 2 votes for Debbi Thomas. I liked her, but...
Maybe they just really love compulsory figures.
Yes, that's what I thought after posting this. I read the title again, and it's about best performance, not LP performance, lol.
Indeed, her SP was really good.
But IMO, if we count only the SP, Nancy Kerrigan's 1992 SP was really special
I know a lot people talk about Lu was past her technical prime by 98, but her jumps in the LP were definitely not as poor as everyone makes it out to be. The second lutz would have been given a <, while the second triple toe (in the 3-3) would have been given a <<. The flip was borderline (it could have gone either way), and the first lutz was okay on rotation. It's not like Joannie didn't underrotate any jumps; if the technical panel wanted, they could have easily given < marks to her second lutz and her triple salchow (in the 3-3 sequence). Both skaters stepped out of the flip and Joannie also had a turn out on a double axel. So thinking in terms of that, I'm not exactly sure Joannie was so technically superior to Chen.
I also disagree that Lulu's artistry in 98 wasn't up to the standard of 95 and 96. That program matched and was probably even better artistically than what she put out in 95 and 96. There was just so much raw emotion that filled up every single second in that program.
And the results from each Olympics are all competition and sktare dependent. There are many posters who believe Lulu should have won silver in Lillehammer. I don't think anyone thinks Joannie should have won silver over Mao.
That's probably my favorite performance of hers.
Never thought I'd see anyone claim that. I thought Kwan was much tighter in SLC than she was in Nagano. The SP 3flip, the LP 3loop, the LP 3toe+2toe (meant to be a 3toe), the LP 3flip with the fall, all were tight and "white knuckled." Michelle's jumps were definitely not easy for her at that Olympics. I had the sense throughout that she was really fighting through everything, much more so than 4 years earlier.
Even Chen's rotated jumps were not very good by 98, her spins which were never that strong a suit sucked royally in 1998, and even her footwork wasnt much to note by then. Rochette of 2010 is easily stronger in every aspect of technical skating than Chen in 1998 was. I cant see anyone seriously arguing Chen of 98 had stronger jumps, jump combinations, spins, footwork, or even spirals than Rochette in 2010.
Yes which is why it is strange Chen's 94 performance doesnt have more votes, and her weaker 98 performance has so many. I already said Chen's 94 performance would have been a good choice, I have no idea why it has so few votes. If you want to talk about Chen of 98 along those terms though obviously NOBODY argues her deserving more than bronze (atleast there might be the odd homer who argues Rochette deserving silver in Vancouver, PS I am definitely not one), and there are even more people who debated Chen's bronze in 98 than try to debate Rochette's in 2010. 94 cant be compared as there was no skater of near the level of Kwan, Lipinski, Kim, or Asada at the time at that event, so obviously much easier to compete for more than a bronze, which is still as it was all Chen managed. I am alot more surprised Chen of 98 has so many votes than Rochette winning the poll.
Artistically... yes, 98 was better than 94 for Lu. Besides that, Lu still managed to say on her feet on everything despite the fact that half her jumping passes were underrotated. If we could smooch both programs together, then Lu would be winning this poll hands down. It's sad that she pretty much competing with herself and that her performances are splitting her votes.
Either way, I don't think things like footwork, spirals, or even spins are even nearly equatable from the old system to the current system. There are more demands now that skaters have to keep up with. Albeit, Lulu never had strong spins, it's not exaclty fair to say that the other technical parts of her skating was weak especially when under 6.0, they almost counted for nothing (especially in the LP).

Commentary: If Hoffa Wins, Labor Is The LoserAaron Bernstein
Ron Carey has been a leading union reformer ever since he was first elected president of the Teamsters in 1991. But the image he cultivated as labor's Mr. Clean has been sullied. On Aug. 21, a federal court monitor found that Carey aides committed illegal funding practices during the union's elections last December and ordered a rematch against James P. Hoffa, who lost by a slim 2% margin.
Unless more damning revelations come out, however, Carey is likely to win another five-year term as the head of the AFL-CIO's largest union. And despite the new shadows surrounding Carey, that's probably the best outcome the Teamsters and organized labor can hope for from the vote. A longtime Teamsters dissident, Carey has pushed out mob-linked officials and whipped up new activism since he took office. He also has been a key supporter of AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney's efforts to revitalize organized labor. Sweeney calls Carey a "courageous labor leader."
WEAK LINKS. In contrast, Hoffa, son of the infamous Teamsters leader allegedly killed by mobsters, has no independent power base in the union. Instead, he spent most of his career as a lawyer and was propelled to prominence by Carey's old-guard opponents, who recognized the power the Hoffa name still holds. Hoffa would likely repay his allies by trying to halt Carey's cleanup, hurting efforts to improve labor's image. "If Hoffa wins, it would be a big setback for the Sweeney revolution," says Michael H. Belzer, a labor-relations professor at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Scandal in any form is the last thing labor needs right now. During the recent United Parcel Service Inc. strike, the public sided with workers rather than management--for the first time in years. That's an indication not only of America's frustration with an economic expansion that has not benefited many workers but also of how the Teamsters have cleaned up their act. The union has been operating under a 1989 consent decree with the Justice Dept. intended to rid it of decades of gangsterism.
Now, Barbara Zack Quindel, the federal monitor who oversaw the election, has determined that Carey's campaign illegally used money from the union and from employers. Carey has made similar allegations about Hoffa's campaign, which Hoffa denies. Quindel has proposed a rematch between the candidates after a 112-day campaign period. The federal judge overseeing the consent decree is expected to approve her plan at a mid-September hearing.
Quindel's ruling gives Hoffa the second chance he sought. But Carey's victory in the UPS strike leaves Hoffa on the defensive, and he's doing all he can to delay, hoping that the memory of the UPS triumph will fade. On Aug. 26, his lawyers asked the union's Independent Review Board to bar Carey from running again because of his aides' abuses. Hoffa also wants Congress to overrule Quindel and delay the election. On Aug. 26, Representative Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), who heads the House subcommittee on labor affairs, said he plans to hold hearings. "Quindel is tilting the field to help Ron Carey," Hoffa charges. "Her election schedule is obviously loaded against us."
GOOD WILL. Quindel says she decided to void the election right after the UPS strike started but postponed her announcement so as not to interfere with the negotiations. Even Hoffa's supporters concede that the successful strike has shored up Carey's quotient of good will. "What was done was absolutely wrong, but I don't think members care about campaign fund-raising," says Carey.
Carey will also get a boost from the way he stood up to UPS on a key issue: the company's wish to pull out of the union's multi-employer pension plan. Carey argued that such a move would cripple a pension plan that covers many Teamsters. Truck drivers, who switch companies frequently and count on the union's pension, are likely to be grateful. "There's no question that Carey is very popular with members because of the UPS settlement, especially in trucking," says Chuck Mack, head of Local 70 in San Francisco, who ran unsuccessfully on Hoffa's slate last year.
Still, a bitter election campaign may well tarnish Carey's image further, making it even more difficult for reformers to embrace him. But with Hoffa, the Teamsters are likely to get no reform at all.

Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant Turns Pre-Flight Procedures Into Comedy Sketch
Sometimes pre-flight procedures can be long and boring. This woman has stepped up her game when it comes to teaching you flight safety.
If you're like me, sometimes you're cashed out before the pre-flight safety procedures speech. Others tend to pop in their headphones as soon as they sit down.
Silly us… We would have missed this awesome comedic speech about safety procedures.
This woman tells you to fasten your seat belt across your lap, "like where my grandmother wears her support bra," as well as, "If you have a problem, please tell us when we land. If we have a problem, we'll tell you immediately." The best part, she has everyone's attention on that plane.
Now if only the cameraman could have brought their phone to its full, horizontal and locked position, we would have had a better video.

aka - Best Practices for Titanium Dev

Comments about oreilly Appcelerator Titanium Business Application Development Cookbook:
This book is probably better suited to someone who already has some Titanium development under their belt but don't be put off by that, once you have mastered the basics this book should be compulsory reading.Some great recipes for including in Titanium Apps but the real bonus is how well they're all structured.If you're about to start a professional Titanium dev project, read this book first (I wish I had). The section on Cross-platform development alone will save you hours of pain. As in my review title, this could almost be considered a Best Practices guide for Titanium mobile app development.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great book for fast learning
By Zoli
from Targu Mures, Romania
About Me Developer
This book is great for developers who want to learn fast. But some basic understanding of Titanium framework is required.The book gives solutions for common problems you would face during development of various applications. It does this by using the best design patterns for development of Titanium based apps. However I miss that this book doesn't talk about Alloy (MVC) framework. But this is not an issue because these recipes can be easily integrated into an Alloy project.Finally I recommend this book for developers who are looking for solutions for common problems. It is also good for learning by example.

Mustek BearPaw 2400TA Plus
WHAT'S HOT: The Mustek BearPaw 2400TA Plus can be used with 35mm film as well as photo prints and paper documents. Using the transparency adapter built into the scanner cover and the included film holder, you can scan up to three 35mm slides, or four images on one 35mm filmstrip. Like other models in Mustek's BearPaw series, the 2400TA Plus features five buttons that start different types of tasks, including scan, copy, fax, e-mail, and a custom job of your choice, such as optical character recognition. The 2400TA Plus is clearly aimed at families and home users: The easy-to-use BearPaw Panel, which controls the scanner buttons, also includes games and sound effects designed to add fun to your scanning activities.
WHAT'S NOT: Tested using its USB 1.1 interface, the BearPaw 2400TA Plus was as slow as molasses. For example, it took the 2400TA Plus 123 seconds to complete the 1200-dpi (2-by-2-inch) color photo test, compared with the average speed of 84 seconds for all the USB 1.1 scanners we've tested recently. (The fastest USB 1.1 model at this task--the Microtek ScanMaker 4900--finished the same test in 39 seconds.)
This BearPaw has a maximum optical resolution of 1200 dpi, but unlike other 1200-dpi scanners, the 2400TA Plus can't always use its maximum resolution. Specifically, photos wider than 6.6 inches can be scanned only at resolutions as high as 600 dpi due to the scanner's transfer buffer limit, according to Mustek. (There is, in fact, no compelling reason to scan a large photo at 1200-dpi, even if the BearPaw was capable of it. The results printed on a typical ink jet wouldn't be noticeably better than those from a 240- or 360-dpi scan.) More problematic, you can only scan black-and-white line art at up to 600 dpi, in contrast to the higher resolutions that other 1200-dpi scanners support. Mustek says it is working to finish a driver update that will let the 2400TA scan line art at 1200 dpi. Very detailed images that you plan to enlarge or line drawings that you want to reproduce at high resolution would call for 1200-dpi scanning. No automatic document feeder is available for this model.
Images from the 2400TA were a mixed bag, as color scans had average quality but monochrome images looked lackluster. Black-and-white photos, for example, needed higher brightness and lower contrast, and resolution higher than 600 dpi for line art would have produced better details in small fonts and geometric patterns. Both on-screen and printed, the BearPaw's color scans showed adequate color accuracy and details, but their mediocre contrast and brightness made some tones appear a bit flat and dull. In our informal look at scans of color slides, we saw results similar to those in the color photos: acceptable color and details, but some tepid tones.
WHAT ELSE: To save desktop space, you can store the 2400TA Plus on its side using the included stand. A helpful demonstration tour and thorough on-screen and print documentation also help make the 2400TA Plus easy to use. The software bundle includes the image editor Ulead Photo Express 3.0 SE, which lets you save and edit 48-bit color images, in case you're interested in preserving the full amount of color data available from the scanning sensor. It also includes a capable optical character recognition tool (Abbyy FineReader 4.0 Sprint), but no document manager is provided. Mustek's Web site offers additional games and skins for BearPaw Panel, plus a Web-page builder as downloads.
The 2400TA Plus's driver lacks separate modes for beginners and advanced users, unlike many competing scanners. However, the scanning controls that are provided are straightforward, easy to use, and geared to home users. If you don't like the results you get from the default settings, you can apply two different enhancement options--called Color Match and Color Balance--and rescan the image. When testing these options, we found that they generally improved scans' overall color, brightness, and contrast. The driver also has a batch scanning function that lets you specify up to ten regions to scan using different settings, which is handy for scanning several photos or multiformat documents (with both text and graphics).
UPSHOT: A bargain-priced, home-user friendly scanner, the Mustek BearPaw 2400TA Plus lets you create passable digital images from film negatives. This model is not quick and it produces only so-so images.

One of assistant coach C.B. McGrath's favorite sayings is, "It starts with one guy."
Usually, he's talking about energy. One guy, McGrath tells the Tar Heels, can be the catalyst to spark a team.
Most often, during Atlantic Coast Conference play, that one guy has been James Michael McAdoo. He did it again Saturday afternoon, making three early trips to the free throw line and snagging three quick rebounds in the first four minutes on the way to helping his Tar Heels to what eventually became an 18-4 lead over NC State.
"We feed off James Michael's energy," Marcus Paige said. "He was attacking early and getting to the free throw line and it pumped everyone up."
It was instructive to see McAdoo on the same floor with NC State's T.J. Warren, who entered the game as the league's leading scorer and one of the top ten scorers in the country. Warren is a terrific player. He's a player who, we can all agree, is an almost certain first-team All-ACC selection.
The pair were even matched up for part of the day, as McAdoo shared the defensive responsibilities on Warren with J.P. Tokoto. Although Warren finished with 21 points, more than half of them came in the final eight minutes, when the Tar Heels had already built a 22-point lead and the outcome was long since decided. For most of the afternoon, Tokoto and McAdoo played him to a standstill--literally, there were some possessions when Warren simply stood in the corner and watched the action.
Contrast that with McAdoo, who seems to have decided he's going to do something on every single Carolina possession to make a difference. He had trouble converting on Saturday, finishing 4-of-15, but his activity level around the rim was ferocious. He finished with more offensive rebounds (6) than anyone who played in the game, more defensive rebounds (7) than anyone who played in the game, and double the free throw attempts (14) of anyone who played in the game.
If Warren is a first-team All-ACC player through the first half of the league schedule--and, again, it seems pretty obvious that he is--then what's McAdoo? You might know that he ranks in the top 10 in the league in four different categories in ACC games only. What you might not be quite as familiar with are his contributions that don't appear on the stat sheet.
After every game, the Tar Heel coaches break down the film and hand out awards in several different categories. Going into Saturday, McAdoo had won or shared the screening award in 14 of Carolina's 20 games. The coaches also give an award for the best ratio of good plays to bad plays; McAdoo has won that award in every ACC game that it's been awarded (there is no recipient if no one reaches the threshold ratio).
He's also becoming almost Zeller-esque in his ability to take charges, and he drew another one Saturday when Tokoto forced Warren baseline and then McAdoo stepped in front of him to draw the foul.
"He's been a completely different player," said Marcus Paige. "He's raised his level of play, not just in his scoring but in his efficiency. He's getting double-digit rebounds, he's taking charges, he's active and talking on defense. He's taking command of this team and when he plays like that, we're a really good team."
Just as impressively, he's the kind of teammate you want to have on your team. After the win over NC State, a reporter began a question to McAdoo about Kennedy Meeks with the sentence, "For a while there, it seemed like Kennedy had hit the wall..." and then went on to be fairly complimentary of Meeks. McAdoo's first response: "I wouldn't say that." He wouldn't even let a throwaway comment about a teammate hang there in the air without swatting it.
"He's been so encouraging to everyone else," said one of his roommates, Luke Davis. "He's stepped forward as a leader. He's texting guys, being encouraging, telling them to get in the gym. If something goes wrong at practice, he's the first one to say, 'Come on, let's get it together.'"
Carolina is eight games into the ACC season. It's time to wonder if this isn't just a hot streak for McAdoo, but a real step in the evolution of a college basketball player. He's learning how to take the skills he has and impose them on the game. He's also learning how to do some things that haven't always been comfortable for him because those things are beneficial for the team.
Those improvements have made him a more consistent and productive player, but they've also made Carolina a much better and more complete team.
"It is," McAdoo said in summation, "a great day to be a Tar Heel."
Adam Lucas is the editor of CAROLINA.

Last month Andera hosted a webinar with Sean Mulvaney and Steve Bieber from ACTON Marketing explaining the 5 essential "ingredients" for successful customer acquisition for banks and credit unions. ACTON specializes in customer and member acquisition and writes one of the best bank and credit union marketing blogs in the business today, so their recipe is defintitely worth sharing.
On the surface, it's pretty simple, but if done right, it produces a wonderful dish:
1. Use your data
Don't neglect the data you have. As Mulvaney says, your goal should be to "understand who your current customers are and where they are coming from, and then to find prospects that look, act, and feel just like them."
When looking at your data, focus on age, gender, income, and most importantly, where customers live in relation to your branches. Ultimately, convenience is the number one reason why someone would choose to open a checking account with your institution. Take a look at all nearby customers to identify where your institution has the most penetration and make sure you understand why that's happening. With this information, you can then easily target prospects with the highest propensity to respond.
2. Market your products
Different consumers want different products, and it may be tempting to put your most profitable product first. But when marketing to a wide demographic segment, always be sure to always lead with the product that has the broadest appeal. This will allow you to speak to the widest range of prospects possible. After introducing the product, focus on the benefits-especially the free ones.
3. Make an Offer
You may think your great rate is enough, but an extra incentive never hurts. The incentive serves as a "thank you" to customers for the time they spend opening the account, and should have no strings attached. The offer can be a simple gift, a gift card pack, a premium, or even cash.
4. Know your Audience
When thinking about your audience, ask yourself: is there anything we know about our audience that would change the way we market to them? For example, 95% of women are financial decision makers in their household, and data also shows that more women bring in and read the mail, so they are the predominant audience reading mailed materials. Accordingly, identify touch points that resonate with women and apply them to your marketing materials.
Additionally, keep the following 5 elements in mind when creating marketing materials: people, storytelling, benefits, convenience, and community. When combined, these components heighten the impact that your materials have on your audience.
5. Train Your Staff
Training your staff achieves three objectives: it educates, it motivates, and it coordinates. Education is imperative, as employees need to know the products and how to sell them. All employees should also have an understanding of the strategies driving their institution. Understanding creates buy-in, which creates motivation. And lastly, training coordinates the staff and ensures that everyone is hearing the same message and is on the same page.

So, to FEDUP(FEB 25)Dont be bulliedinto what these people wantto drive away Constitutional rights. Always examine motive.
I speak what I meanwhy I put my name on it. In respect to the Mayors positionit was genuine as well. Monetarilyit only pays $7,000 annuallybefore taxation. The petitions did not surviveas Councilwanted it that way. They effaced the Ohio Constitution1. By deliberately not passing an emergency ordinance for said petition, mandated by the wording forthwith; 2. Nor placed the petition on the General Ballot, as directed by the wording if received before 60 days from the General Election (they received all three 72 days from said election; I spoke with those I deemed not in conflict with the Mayoral petition84 days from said electionas any sense of impropriety in the breach of the fiduciary (One was the Mayor (decision would determine future post-holder); One was a Candidate for Mayor (ran unopposed); One was my uncle (in name only; as there are 37 grandchildren on that side of the family, of which I am number 36). Council placed the charter question on the following Special Election ballotthe next spring; 3. From what I can discern from said empty ballotwith respect to candidates names for writing charter, it appears Council did not pass any ordinance ascribing a candidate method for said ballotother than write-in. I cannot fathom that from 150 people, including two former Council membersthere would not be onepersonwho wantedto be a writer of their own charter.
On the end note to this affront to their own citizens rights: Council members who sat during the remission of the petitionwould one day be citizens again. Im sure they probably held disgruntlement over former Council members decisions, as they may have towards the predecessors. Why, then, as a citizen of the townwould they not have wantedto provide a meansof redressing said grievances. A charter can specifically outline steps to redress said grievances. At the current turn, citizens must pre-register to speak at a Council meeting; and then are allowed only five minutes to clearly and firmly establish the grievanceand any remedy. This is somewhat of an improvement. When I spoke, regarding the petitionsit was only three. Council would not speak to me on the record. And I found it appallingregarding the nature of the petition of chartermy knowledge in canvassing citizens concernsthey had little inclinationto discuss the subject at hand.

2. NEXT, This grouppicks up on yeta second, supposedly, out-of-towner: POOP (from Pittsburgh), who incites:This is an exercise in crazy. A barrage of personal attackswith no relation to the subject(expressed in said letter to the editor), and thenattempts to persuade the public at large (beyond the village of Carrollton)that the writer is mentally ill.:
HoweverPOOPdoesnt statewhatis crazy. Is it the way the posters are responding to said letter? Oris it the writer? The posterschooseto make an attempt to displaywith actual malicethe writer of the letter-to-the-editoris crazy; not happy with the way the outer worldbeyond their clique, club, family, church, whatever it is that bans them together. Every postingattempts to push one step further; or with one-upmanship:
1.CARROLLTON NATIVE(Feb 26): This woman is CRAZY, she needs help
2.JEFF KISHMAN(Feb 26): madwomans letters crackpot
3.CARROLL COUNTY SUBSCRIBER (Feb 27):This woman should be banned This woman is not all there
4.FELLOW CITIZEN(Feb 28):I have known of situations involving this woman believe me Insane doesnt touch what she is
5.ONE OF MANY(Feb 28):This woman lacks all ability to function with any kind of order this womans mindset is completely warped .makes a crazy person look normal empty head GET SOME HELP see that she is put on something
6.HARLEM_MALVERN(Mar 1): this woman is an absolute lunatic She keeps her parents captive I know all her siblings mental nutcase like she is!!!(Explanation points original to post.) I think she should be banned .loony letters

3. Not satisfied with merely calling the writer insanethey prod, incitein group concertthatwithout rational showing or justificationshe be harassed, stalked, or watchedby OFFICIALS.:
1.NUTS(Mar 1): How can someone have this much of a mental disorderand still be on the street.
2.AIC(Mar 2): please investigate this woman and I want to see something done.
4. In conjunction, amid the latter commentsthey decidethat merely the name of the writer of the letter-to-the-editor isnt enough to satisfy their motive.[Given the amount of publicityby selecting and singling outrepetitivelya single writer of letters-to-the-editor. All said writers letters were submitted for printto the newspaper edition of the Free Press Standardnot for the publication on the world wide web. Thisraises another point: There are two other letters-to-the-editor, concerning the same subject, that are not placed on this forum.(A common manwould find that relevantifthe desire of this forumwas truly: to comment on subject, in this case: a metal detector, whether to continue to pay for its leasegiven the extreme amount of budget reduction in the County taxation coffers.) The two missing letters-to-the-editor (one from Maryland, and one from a retired police officer) would be importantas the writers letter-to-the-editor, in the subject of this threadis a direct rebuttal to another letter-to-the-editor published in the same newspaper.
Point three: I, as the poster, herein, can effectively lessen the word countin making the same point (whether in this post, or in the newspaper)without having to redundantly express a verb-noun-subject connectionfor readerswho attempt to persuadethat the writer makes no sense.
Word count is important to submission for a letter-to-the-editor. Said editor of said paperhas relaxed the rulesfor a lengthy duration of timeallowing peoplemore than oneto exceed the word count originally established.
The point of this group(acting in concert)in expressing disgruntlement (by the repetitious posting of the phrase:makes no sense)is to eliminate spacespecifically allotted to THISwriter (as underlined above, the same phrase, pointing out the same group mindset this woman is posted within the, supposed, sphere of different people.(I have no way of knowing, yet, it is not the same writer; or ifthey truly are a group connectedby any other meansthan disgruntlementantagonismcybe rbullyingof the same writer.)
I readno other threadconnected with said newspaperasking for censorship, banning any writer, attempting to influence the public with the amount of deliberate hatred, and genuine contempt for this individual writerand with contempt for certain United States Constitutional rights: freedomof speech; freedomof press; Equal treatment, etc

As a person who is currently learning the law, you clearly have no concrete understanding as to its meaning or to its relevant application. If I wanted to read incoherent babbling and poorly phrased thoughts I would read a third grader's essay written entirely in crayon. However, now saying that I feel a third grader would make more sense than anything that you have posted or plan to post in response to this comment. A word of advice, if you plan on addressing the masses from the podium in which you preach make sure that the masses can actually understand what it is you're trying to say.

Some of your insults are about as biting as a gnat with dentures. Amazing what you choose to post on Topix.com , or pick up from the Free Press Standard. It appears, my letter was accurate.

::mutters:: she cant be SERIOUS!?!?!
#60 Jul 26, 2012
In defense of my reputation:
Increduously--this malicious & false personal attack--has been tolerated by the Free Press Standard & Topix.com ; Hence, I find myself in need of posting such--to any & all persons who would attempt to so believe the false light, libel, slander & defamation.
The only person who has identified himself on this post--is Jeff Kishman.
Who is Jeff Kishman?
Mr. Kishman is a Democratic Political Party supporter: 3/30/10:$300 to Fisher for Ohio; 10/07/08 $472 to Ohio Democratic Party; 5/03/07:$1,000 to Ohio Democratic Party.
Mr. Kishman describes himself as "Self/Free Lance, Independent Educator."
Mr. Kishman has simularly attacked Mr. Johnson of Summitvill Tiles, who served as a Delegate to the Republican National Convention, with the same attack: "...self-indulgent, boring article the News Leader has published in a long time. WHO CARES?"
Hence, it is politically motivated by some,if not all.(See definition of "sock-puppet"; questioning whether this is one person, or the same group to achieve the same term's goal.)
#61 Jul 26, 2012
In defense of my reputation:
On August, 20th (2007? 2008?) The Free Press Standard published a letter, written by me, on the topic of Representation.
The idea centered on an absent Representative--who was called into service.
The letter indicated--our area Representative--was the sole Representative for Carroll County--while all surrounding Counties in said District--were only partially drawn in.
In the second paragraph I wrote, "It's so nice of the Editor (referencing the Canton Repository Editorial) to assume--the full mental deductive competence--on behalf of John Boccieri."
Mr. Boccieri--had missed several important votes--and kept himself apprised of Legislative Issues--while mentally engaged in the graphic surroundings of the Iraq/Afghanistan theater.
In what context--could he have fully given such comprehension--to any vote--dediced--amid blood, horror, bombings, dust, tension that gives rise to Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
Mr. Boccieri--is a Democrat.
My first letter to the editor of the Free Press Standard--appeared in 1994. It argued against the moral wrongs of Bill Clinton in his affair with Monica Lewinsky.\
Over the years--I have debated several political issues. I have always debated--and argued--against the idea--not the person bringing it.
Observing the political attacks on others--since I was made aware of this forum--such as Sarah Palin--etc--I am forced to make you aware--that some in the political party system--in order to win the vote for their party--will say anything--against their fellow American.
The level of this political attack--merely makes the World perceive--that we hold our very system--in contempt--with exceptional hate.
Consider HOW you decide to make your point.
This attack--is personal--& devastated my business-as the attack--began in my telecommunications--intercepti ng all business calls from 2004 onward & invaded my emails--by remitting fraudulent emails in my name--around the world.
#62 Jul 26, 2012
Correction to the above post:(omittance)
I cite said letter regarding Mr. Boccieri & "full mental deductive competenence"--as these vicious attacks--have seized on such word--twisting its inference upon me: "I'm a madwoman, etc."
"Stop publishing me."
Mr. Kishman made the same comment in response to "Becky & Chuck" in another Topix.com forum--stating "This Palin person is safely away from the press."
Is this attack on me--any different: Stop publishing?
Are my arguments too truthful to argue against? What is it that we as society are to peform in debate--but truth.
Truth is above a mere viewpoint.
A viewpoint--is merely where one person stands (or several in the same class.) It is proper to argue for said class--but in our Government--we must comprehend the impact of an object--upon all.

Skype founder browses globe for next tech earner
By Lorraine Turner and Paul Sandle
LONDON (Reuters) - Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of internet phone service Skype, believes the next hot tech business will just as likely spring from Istanbul or Sao Paolo as from Silicon Valley or the coolest districts of London.
And he is prepared to fly around the world to find it.
"Talent can pop up anywhere in the world, it's not just one city block," the Swedish entrepreneur and venture capitalist said at the headquarters of his Atomico fund, based on upmarket New Bond Street in central London.
Zennstrom, who retains faint traces of a Swedish accent despite his years of globetrotting, is looking for start-ups ready to shift up a gear into new markets and has the experience, gained from growing Skype into a service used by millions around the world, to help them.
Skype was sold to eBay Inc in 2005 for roughly $3 billion, before being bought back by a consortium including Zennstrom in 2009 and then two years later sold on to Microsoft Corp for $8.5 billion, leaving him a multi-millionaire.
"If you have a product that works it's important to scale (up) the business as quickly as possible," said Zennstrom, named by Time Magazine in 2006 as one of its 100 most influential people. "As entrepreneurs, usually you may not have that experience; how does Asia work? Europe? Latin America?"
Atomico, founded by Zennstrom in 2006, has invested in companies in northern Europe including Finland-based Rovio, developer of Angry Birds, and Hailo, a London-based startup that has developed an app that connects passengers with taxi drivers and has raised $20 million so far.
It also led a $105 million funding round for U.S. online retailer Fab in July. Continued...

Biographical Note
These oral history interviews and related papers are the product of the A Few Good Women: Advancing the cause for Women in Government, 1969-1974 oral history project initiated by the Honorable Barbara Hackman Franklin in 1995. Barbara Franklin's role in the Nixon White House from 1971 to 1973 is the keystone for advancing women into leadership positions in government. After graduation from Penn State in 1962, she became one of the first women to receive an MBA degree from the Harvard Business School in 1964. With path-breaking experiences in business, she accepted a position as Staff Assistant to President Richard M. Nixon in 1971 with the mission to recruit talented women into leadership positions in the federal government. After great success she was nominated and confirmed as Commissioner and Vice Chairman of the newly established Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1973. After six years of service, she returned to business, founding a consulting firm and becoming a director on a number of corporate boards, a senior fellow of the Wharton School of Business, and director of the Wharton Government and Business Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and at various times as a member of the President's Advisory Committee for Trade Policy Negotiations, as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations General Assembly. In 1992-1993, she served as the 29th Secretary of Commerce in the administration of President George H.W. Bush. Returning to the private sector, she served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Barbara Franklin Enterprises, a consulting and investment firm. She is the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees, and the Distinguished Alumni award from Penn State. In 1994, Franklin donated her papers to the Penn State University Archives and agreed to the suggestion of University Archivist Lee Stout that an oral project be developed to record the reminiscences of the women who were recruited and trained for upper-level government positions during the administration of President Richard M. Nixon. This project marked the first systematic effort to open such positions to women. The initiative began with President Nixon's response to a reporter's question in a news conference about two weeks after his inauguration in February, 1969. Vera Glaser asked why there had been only three women among the first 200 appointments. Mr. Nixon was unaware of this but promised to correct the imbalance. The Task Force on Women's Rights and Responsibilities, chaired by Virginia Allan, former president of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs had been created in 1968. All of its various recommendations were ultimately adopted by the Nixon Administration, including the creation of a White House office to recruit women into executive positions in the federal government. Barbara Hackman Franklin took that position in 1971, coming from Citibank, where she was an assistant vice president and head of the governmental relations department. A critical step in this process was the requirement that cabinet secretaries and agency heads submit Action Plans to the President, describing how they intended to place, recruit, advance and train women in their departments. One year later, the number of women in posts paying $28,000 and up (GS-16 and above) increased from 36 to 105, many in positions women had never held before. Four years later, in March 1973, there had been more than 1,000 women hired or promoted to middle management positions. Women also became forest rangers, FBI agents and sky marshals. The logjam of promotions for women in the military service was also broken. The former limit of one female colonel per service branch was put aside and women were promoted for the first time to general and admiral. Barriers against women in the foreign service were lifted. Women headed the Federal Maritime Commission, the Tariff Commission, and the Atomic Energy Commission for the first time. Numbers of women appointed to the federal judiciary increased. In 1997, an Interim Advisory Board for the project was formed, chaired by Barbara Hackman Franklin, with the objective of launching a project to collect oral history interviews and related papers from women and men involved with the advancement of women in government. Individuals were identified by the Board to be interviewed and a cooperative relationship with the Penn State University Libraries was established to house the histories for use by future scholars and historians. Jean Rainey, a retired public relations executive who was active in women's issues during the era of the project, was named project administrator and served as interviewer. Funding for the project was raised from private corporations and individuals interested in supporting the project as well as specific outcomes. Tapes and transcripts of the interviews, along with copies of related papers donated by several interviewees have been donated to the Penn State University Archives, Special Collections Library, Pennsylvania State University Libraries.

THE first time I saw Alan Jacobs we were new boys on the first day at secondary school — nervous and uncomfortable in prickly new uniforms, ties and top buttons done up tight.
Alan was never a "rugged" kid, never one to hang around with the spitters and smokers and swearers. He wasn't a "brain" who clicked fingers and waved urgently to be first to answer a teacher's question. He wasn't a footy hero or a bully. He was just a nice kid.

More coverage Australia's worst bushfire disaster
Some kids called him "Moses" — a schoolboy riff on what seemed a vaguely biblical surname. I called him "Jake". His parents had leased my uncle's farm near Stratford, a bus ride from school in Sale. His father, Ray, was a successful suburban builder taking his big family on a "tree change" 30 years before the term was coined. His mother, Margaret, had the same auburn hair and gentle nature as her son.
Jake's natural intelligence was devoted to anything mechanical. At 12, he rode his own motorbike a few kilometres on back roads to catch the the school bus.
By the next year he had fixed up and spray-painted an old Zephyr ute and drove that to meet the bus.
The last time I saw Jake was when we left school in the mid-1970s: me to be a reporter on the local paper, him to take on the world with a tool kit.
I hadn't heard anything of Alan Jacobs for years until yesterday morning, when I saw his name in this newspaper: one in the growing roll call of dead and missing. He and his wife and one son died defending their property near Traralgon. Their only surviving son has flown back from Sweden to bury the family.

I am a white linen blanket. My job is like a vacation. Whether I'm lounging at the beach or having picnics at the park, every day is a field day!
Popular in Japan, these blankets are also referred to as towelkets. They resemble large beach towels or bed linens and are usually used in warmer weather. These particular towelkets are great if you want a bit of coverage yet want to stay cool as the linen weaves allow circulation of air. They are multifunctional and great for travelers with limited space. When used as a towel, the thickness of the chambray linen makes it very absorbent. They can also be used at the park as a picnic blanket, at the beach and as a lightweight blanket or throw. We love its versatility and how soft they get after washing.

Talking with Your Doctor
Frequently Asked Questions
22. How might an appointment with a specialist be different from a visit with my regular doctor?
A visit with a specialist may be shorter than an appointment with your doctor. Often specialists already know your symptoms and medical test results. A visit with a specialist may be more specific to a single health problem versus your general health issues.
If you do not understand something that the specialist tells you, ask questions. For example, you might say, "I do not know very much about the condition you said I have. Could you explain what it is and how it might affect me?" Also, have the specialist explain your treatment options.
It may be helpful to ask for written materials to read. You can call your primary doctor for an explanation of anything you did not understand or that does not make sense to you after your visit with the specialist.
Ask the specialist to send information about your diagnosis or treatment to your primary doctor. This will help your primary doctor keep track of your medical care. Also, during your next doctor visit, you should tell your doctor how well the treatment or medications prescribed by the specialist are working.
