Thus there is every likelihood that even while tho election campaign is in full swing the United States may be confronted with a decision affecting the whole basis of American foreign Stalin Not Own Master, Truman Says Can Make Pacts But Not Keep Them, He Says By Ernest B. Vaccaro Aboard Truman Train En Route to Berkeley, Calif. President Truman contended today that Rus- sian forces stronger than "Old Joe" Stalin are preventing the Soviet pre- mier from keeping agreements vital1 policy. Tho facts are simple. Despite Marshall aid and despite a striking internal recovery, Britain Is still be- ing forced to live on its fat. And unless this process is halted soon, there will be no fat left to live on. THE BRITISH treasury's gold and dollar reserve Is down to little more than two billion dollars, which is painfully close to the danger point. If the reserve Is reduced much more. Britain, us the banker of the sterling area, will be In the position of a banker who Is unable to meet his obligations. Then, unless the United States steps In. a collapse of the whole In- tricate financial system of the sterl- ing aren will become inevitable. And It is by no means improbable that this American decision will have to be made within a few months. For although the British experts havo been feverishly attempting to plug up the holes In the British fi- nancial dikes, the drain on the Brit- ish reserve continues inexorably. Unofficial government estimates show that about half a bllHon dol- lars Is likely to leak out of the vital dollar reserve in the next 12 months. to world peace. In the chatty tone of a man pass- ing the time of day with neigh- bors at the corner drugstore, the President said he liked "Old Joe" and gave this personal view of the Russian premier: 'He is a decent fellow. But Joe Is a prisoner of the polltburo, can't do what he wants to. dOiar reserve in uu: IK.-AI. t-muol But some experts believe that the figure is actually likely to be close to ft billion dollars, unless heroic measures are taken. Even If the He He makes agreements. And if he could, he would keep them; but the people who run the government are very specific In saying that he can't keep The President said he would elab- orate In a major' foreign policy speech at the University of Califor- nia at Berkeley this afternoon on his hopes for eventual understand- ing between Russia and the United States. Voice Husky He speaks at commencement ex- ercises at p. m. CP.S.TO, p. The setting for the Presidents most Intimate public appraisal of Stalcn was Eugene, Ore. His audi- ence was a group of townspeople clustered about the back platform of his private car along the railroad tracks. In casual tones, he talked to them through the loud speaker. He was bareheaded. Hia voice had a trace of husklness. His aides said he was a bit tired from days of government estimates are not too optimistic, British reserves will be reduced below what many experts consider the daxigcr point, at which financial collapse becomes Imminent. IX THESE circumstances, it is not surprising that even this early the British have already approach- ed ECA Administrator Paul Hoff- man with a request; for a larger al- location to Britain and the sterling area. The request was made at the height of the Palestine crisis, when tvntl-Brltlsh feeling In the United States was most bitter. At flrst it seemed certain that the request would bo rejected, but the matter has instead now been shelved for future consideration. Meanwhile, Sir Stafford Cripps, the ascetic, coldly intelligent chancellor of the exchequer, Is known to have taken a hard decision, Whether or not a greater alloca- tion of American aid is forthcoming, and whether or not world food prices fall. Crlpps intends to regard the British dollar reserve- at a cer- tain In the neigh- borhood of a billion and a half dol- sacrosanct. When this level is reached, no further withdrawals will bo tolerated whatever the con- sequences. This Is a Crlpps decision. It is not cabinet decision. It certain to meet the most determined opposition In the cabinet, and in the Labor party ns a whole. For it means that the hard-pressed British will have to tighten their belts a great deal further than they have al- ready been tightened, simply because food imports will have to be below present levels. MANY OBSERVERS believe that if the Labor government once halts the process ot living oft Britain's fat, Jt will be signing Its own death war- rant. Already little love Is lost be- tween Crlpps and such men as the fatuous Dr. Hugh Diilton, and the leader of the cabinet's left wing, Aneurln Bevan. These and other.' are expected bitterly to oppose the harsh Crlpps expedient for safe- guarding the dollar reserve. Yet Crlpps will probably win in the end if only because the facts argue for him. It Is possible that Crlpps never may have to urgn this grim expedi- ent on the cabinet. Every Informed British official prays nightly for a fall In world food prices, for this would Immediately case the British position. Yet although there Is every indica- tion of an abundant world harvest prices, which usually anticipate the harvest, have remained ominously constant. Perhaps again the British economic recovery will .close the threatening clollnr gap before Jt too late. Recovery Is already well under way. Exports havo been push- ed up more than a quarter since 3946. and both production and ex- ports arc well above tho prewar average, while the output per man hour of the British worker is higher than ever in history. international on the legis- lators have been confined to domes- tic Issues. Well Acquainted With Joe He called the foreign policy B United States policy and said, "We will have peace in the world" If it s carried out. "I want peace In the world Just as badly as anybody in the lie went on. "I went to Potsdam in 1D45 with that in view. I went there with the kindliest in the world toward Russia, and we made certain agreements, specific agreements." "I got very well acquainted with old Joe Stalin, and I like old he confided. Of the future, he said: "Now some time or other that great country, and this great coun- try, are going to understand that the'lr mutual interests mean the welfare and peace of the world as a whole." Russians Claim New Speedy Jet Plane London The Daily Mall said today that Russians have de- veloped an experimental Jet plane with a "top speed approaching 760 miles an hour." That is only three miles under the speed of sound under standard conditions at sea level and 59 degrees Tahrenhelt. It Is above the speed of sound at high altitudes and lower temperatures.

Republicans of Wisconsin Meet To Endorse Slate By Arthur Bystrom Wisconsin's Re- publican party workers, meeting in annual convention today, were given the recommendation of their leaders that they endorse candi- dates for state offices. The controversial question of en- dorsement was expected to provide the only major fight of the weekend gathering which has drawn delegates to the Milwaukee audi- torium. The party's executive committee, which met in closed session last night, was reported to have ex- pressed almost unanimous approval _ of endorsement. While the commit- j tee made no formal request that the convention endorse candidates, the informal recommendations of the party leaders who are members of it will carry a lot of weight. Executive committee members said they were in favor of giving endorsement to Governor Oscar iabor movement. D.F.L Opens Convention At Brainerd Platform Drawn, 'Back Truman' Group Active By Jack B. Mackay Brainerd, Minn. With a "back-Truman" resolution shaped by its endorsement committee, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-La- bor convention was called to order today. The resolution, passed with but one I dissenting vote, presaged a conven- tion floor battle led by some dele- gates, including members of Ameri- cans for Democratic Action who are inclined toward a presidential can- didate other than Truman. Presented by Thomas W. Walsh, St. Paul attorney, the resolution en- dorsed the record ol President Tru- man and recommended to the state convention that delegates go to the national Democratic convection in- structed to vote for him. Franklin Clough, Lake Lillian, voted against the resolution. Speaking in support of Walsh's proposal were Tom Davis, Minne- apolis, onetime Farmer-Labor candi- date for governor; Harold Barker, Elbow Lake, D.F.L. state chairman; Charles Munn, Osseo, former speak- er of the state house of representa- tives and ex-railroad and warehouse commissioner; Frank Thill, St. Paul, vice-president of the state Federa- tion of Labor; Donald Chapman, Hennepin county; K. H. Marsh, St. Paul, and Mrs. Harry Kuhles, St. Paul, Chosen convention keynoter was Byron Allen, Detroit Lakes, former candidate for governor. He was to speak at p. m. today. Last night platform committee members called for a firm but pa- tient attitude toward Russia. Other platform "planks" ask: Immediate strengthening of the United Nations. Adoption of the Baruch plan for atomic energy control. Endorsement of the Marshall plan for European recovery. Immediate steps to check Infla- tion. Full support for cooperatives.

"The Arab governments reserve the right of quick action in reply to criminal Zionist an Arab league note to the United Nations mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, warned. An Arab league representative routed the mediator out of his bed before dawn to give him the message. The Jews also warned that viola- tions would provoke Jewish counter- attack, and they charged the truce, now In its second day, had been broken in several Palestine sectors. Bernadotte and his aides left Cairo by plane early today for the Greek island of of Trans-Jordan and Jerusalem, to be- gin preparations for peace talks. He said the charges were being investigated. A high Jewish officer held out a veiled threat of reprisal bombings against Arab capitals as he accused the Arabs of breaking the truce. Violations Reported The mediator, Swedish Truman Vetoes Controversial Bulwinkle Bill Tru man today vetoed the controversia Bulwinkle bill to exempt railroad rate agreements from antitrust prosecution under certain condi tions. Trains Freed After Sudden Ban by Reds Move Seen Aimed at Harrassing Western Powers Russians blocked rail shipments from western occu- pation zones to Berlin all through, ast night, but reached an agreement with the British today for resump- tion ot freight traffic, a British offi- cial announced. General Lucius D. Clay, U. S. mil- tary governor, said" earlier he would reinstate the Frankfurt-Berlin air ferry if necessary to get supplies to the Germans and Americans in the U. S. sector of the city. The air lift was used in last April'.; Soviet-engi- neered transportation crisis. Trains from the western zones must pass through the Soviet zone of occupation west of Berlin in order to reach this city. The Soviet check point is at the border of the Russian and British zones. Americans and French traffic as well as British traffic bound for Berlin passes that check point. Six Trains Delayed Six British trains which were held up in the Soviet zone after the new order became effective last night will be released and sent to Berlin as soon as locomotives can be provided for them, the British .said. The Rus- sians also agreed to permit normal traffic over the route through the Russian zone by 18 daily trains. There is a heavy backlog because of trains held up by the Soviet order, tiowcver. There are Germans and, Americans, French and Brit- ish in the western sectors of the city who would be seriously affected by a stoppage of freight shipments. Clay said the Soviet suspension or traffic'came without warning. Clay told a news conference a freight train from the American zone was stalled this afternoon at the Anhaltcr railway station In Ber- lin. Later, Colonel H. W. Holmer, U. S. transportation chief, said the Ann- halter train bad been cleared. It was understood that American switch engines, guarded by GJ.'s. broke up the stalled freight and switched it to the proper points when the Soviet-controlled rail offi- cials rcfured to act. The only other American train stopped up to this afternoon was a supply train destined for the Ger- Rennebohm but were noncommital as to their choices for other state offices.

Four candidates seek the endorse- ment for state treasurer. They are Chester Roberts, Milwaukee, Arthur Qulnn, Cumberland, and John R. Mullen and Warren R. Smith, Mil- waukee.

With Bernadotte on his flight was a group of U.X. men. Among them were Ralph Bunche, personal representative of Secretary-General Trygve Lie, and William Stoneman, on Lie's staff. Colonel Thord Bonde of Sweden, chief of military truce observers, was left in charge of the mediator's staff remaining in Cairo. To Return to Cairo The mediator plans to return to Cairo Tuesday to begin talks with representatives of Arab govern- ments now gathering here for a meeting Monday of the Arab league political committee. In these talks he Is expected to explore the possibility of getting Arabs to attend a peace conference with Jewish authorities and him- self on Rhodes. No time for the proposed conference has been men- tioned, but it is not considered like- ly in less than a week. Before Bemadotte's departure, he was handed a note from the Arab representative here. It said their countries cannot "tolerate Jewish violations of the truce" and warned Returning the bill to the Senate the President said he rejected i it would permit an impor- tant segment of the economy to.ob- immunity from the antitrus' laws." He said such Immunity would be granted "without providing adequate safeguards to protect the public in- terest." _ r The measure would have exempted from the antitrust laws agreements between carriers on rates, fares, clas- sifications, and allowances, provided they were approved by the Interstate Commerce commission. The President said antitrust cases are now pending before the courts "challenging some of the very acti- vities which would be .covered by this bill" and added: "Pending judicial clarification ol the issues raised in these proceed- it would be Inappropriate to provide the immunity proposed by this bill." The President said he had repeat- edly urged upon congress the neces- sity for a "vigorous antimonopoly program." "This bill would be inconsistent with such a program."

Full terms of the British-Russian agreements were not made known immediately. The British said earli- er the Russians were "not unreason- able" in requesting that shipments for Berlin be labeled with their ex- act destinations. They had been ad- dressed simply to'the Berlin kom- maudatura. Crisis in April Stopping the traffic on a perma- nent basis would be much more seri- ous than the Soviet restrictive meas- ures in Berlin which raised a crisis last April. The western powers cir- cumvented that by flying in passen- gers and supplies, but it would bo impossible to fly in enough supplies to meet the needs of Ger- mans dependent on the western powers for food and heat. British officials said the Russians contended they had to embargo freight shipments into Berlin be- cause the city was congested. The British retorted that they were not aware of any congestion and de- manded that the embargo be lifted immediately. Trains were stopped at the Helm- stedt-Marienborn control point on the border of the British and Soviet occupation zones. This was the point where the Russians in April ordered trains stopped for inspec- tions by Soviet officials before pass- ing through the Soviet zone of Ger- many to Berlin.

Thought I let you guys know I just took delivery of this new production driver and it has lots of potential as a full range. Highs seem to propagate out of the center cone nicely -- dispersion must be excellent and bass appears to be impressive (currently burnin in free air). Upper treble of course is not there but treble that is present is somewhat extended for a 5 incher. These appear to be nice drivers.

DBS implants can dramatically short-circuit a debilitating tremor, and let those afflicted eat a steak dinner unscathed, but the average Joe won't be wanting one of them anytime soon. On the other hand, the new Nucleus 6 system from Cochlear now offers some incredible new features with a much more universal appeal.
Along with mouths and hair, eyes are one of the biggest reasons why artificial creations can't climb their way out of the uncanny valley. One reason for this is because artificial eyes — in computer-generated models or on animatronic robots — are simply not expressive enough. Disney Research has taken a step toward correcting this issue by creating 3D-printed eyes that are not only extremely expressive, but dynamic.
New gold-plastic nanomaterial could produce artificial skin 10 times more sensitive than the best available today.
Modern-day robotics has already advanced to the point where we can create robot limbs sophisticated enough to be attached to machines and perform tasks efficiently enough to outpace humans in certain areas. A significant problem with these limbs, though, is that they're just too expensive, and not precise enough to outpace humans across the board. However, DARPA has developed a cheap robotic hand that can almost match human performance in dexterous activities, like changing a tire.
Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Alpha IMS retinal prosthesis; a device that completely redefines the state of the art of implanted, bionic devices. The first round of clinical trials were a huge success, with eight out of nine patients reporting that they can now detect mouth shapes (smiles, frowns), small objects such as telephones and cutlery, signs on doors, and — most importantly — whether a glass of wine is red or white.
This week, a team of Swiss researchers announced that it will begin testing a new "sensing" bionic hand, one which looks to explode our ideas about the relationship between brain and machine. Now, it is the robots' turn to speak.
These days researchers are trying to do a little better than the grainy images provided through currently available vision prosthesis. Signal processing techniques that were developed in the Cold War era to track and target incoming missiles have evolved into techniques that can be used to enhance retinal implants. What can we expect from new devices as they are brought to market?
Stanford University material scientists have devised the first synthetic, plastic skin that is conductive, sensitive to touch, and capable of repeatedly self-healing at room temperature. The most immediate applications are in the realm of smart, self-healing prosthetic limbs that are covered in this synthetic skin.
It has been a couple of years since the successful HAL-5 and XOS-II exoskeletal systems first appeared. While advances continue to be made in their strength, speed, and endurance, many question if these devices represent technologies that might one day bring us the Iron Man suit.
Equipped with a bionic limb from the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Zac Vawter will attempt the 103-floor climb up the stairs of Chicago's Willis Tower. And he's planning to do it in under and hour.

As a general rule of thumb on a rifle you can expect a 10 FPS loss for each inch of barrel removed (Very general rule). The 45-70 is a relativly slow moving round 1100-1450fps. So how that would shoot on a 2 inch barrel I don't know but possibly in the 1000 fps range?
I do know this I wouldn't want to be holding onto that pistol with a 350-500 grain top end load in it
There are alot of guys out there with some really nice shooting 250 grain (I believe) reduced power loads. I have only spent time with a couple deifferent loads though.

NY woman resentenced for decking Wal-Mart workerAP , Associated Press
Jan. 14, 2014 12:03 PM ET
BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP) — A 28-year-old woman has been given a court-ordered one-year sentence for punching a 70-year-old cashier at a western New York Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve 2011.
The Daily News of Batavia reports (http://bit.ly/1d3gaLK ) Jacquetta Simmons was resentenced Monday after a state appeals court earlier this month ruled that her original five-year state prison sentence was too harsh. She'll serve a one-year term in a county jail with credit for time already served.
Simmons was convicted in August 2012 of assault for punching Wal-Mart cashier Grace Suozzi after she asked to see a receipt for merchandise Simmons was carrying out of the Batavia store on the morning of Dec. 24, 2011.
Police say the punch knocked the cashier to the ground and caused facial fractures.

The Federation [of Canadian Artists] was born in the early years of World War II, when people were beginning to realize that war not only meant a struggle for existence but also an urgent search for a new pattern of living, for a new and more satisfactory relationship of the individual to the community, of groups of individuals to larger groups. It had become apparent that if democracy were to survive we had to find a way of living in which the individual could achieve the maximum freedom of action and of self-expression consonant with his responsibilities to, and in the best interests of, the community. The Artist was obviously and particularly concerned; essentially an individualist and jealous of his rights to freedom of personal expression, yet at the same time very conscious of the gap which separates the artist from society.

Weird Idling issue!!
So this has happen only in the summer which is the time I got the car. Whenever it would get hot and I drive my car and turned it off and then back on it wouldnt idle right. It would turn on then die right away. They only way it kept running was if I gave it gas and continued to do so. Eventually it was idle normally. It also happened when I ripped on it hard when it was HOT outside too. It doesnt happen at night really. Maybe once. Then during the winter I would turn it on and it'd die but if I turned it on again it would stay on. I dont know if those are the same thing going on or not, but I really need to fix it. It's so unconvenient.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Stalling is a common failure mode on older Focii; you IAC valve might be dirty/failed, or your PCV hose might be collapsed.
Plug those terms into the forum search box and a thousand posts will pop up.
thanks i will try that! I really like to drive this car without that issue this summer!
This thread contains details regarding the torn PVC hose problem, which is common with the 2.0 Zetec: http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=28249
Best of luck!

st: estimating standard errors for interaction terms in xttobit
Sat, 18 Aug 2007 18:47:25 -0400
Dear Statalisters,
I have a model with several interaction terms such as this:
y = a0 + a1x1 + a2x2 + a3x3 + a4(x1*x2) + a5(x1*x3)
I have panel data and y is censored at zero, so I'm using xttobit and mfx compute to estimate the model and obtain marginal effects. I.e.:
. xttobit y x1 x2 x3 interx1x2 interx1x3
. mfx compute, predict(e(0,.))
Using results from mfx, I can easily calculate the marginal effect of x1 on y (dy/dx1). What I'm wondering is if anyone knows how to calculate the standard error of dy/dx1 in Stata? I have seen early postings on how to do this for cross-sectional tobit, but am unable to use the same set of commands for xttobit. Ideas?

McMaster Athletes Care's mission to provide an enriching camp experience for Hamilton's youth received a major boost this morning with the help of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities and Sport Chek.

Through its partnership with Jumpstart, McMaster Athletes Care accepted a donation of sports equipment totalling about $8,500, including hockey sticks, skateboards and helmets which will be given to campers on scholarship at McMaster camps.

The announcement is part of the ongoing Kids to Camp campaign, through which McMaster Athletes Care has provided a camp experience to 1,000 underprivileged youth in the community.

Campers who receive scholarships are given full tuition for camp, food and transportation to and from campus. Now, through Jumpstart's generous gift, those same children will have the opportunity to participate in physical activity and play long after their camp experience has passed.

McMaster Kids to Camp partners with several community organizations, including the Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers and Sisters, CAS and City Kidz, to select camp participants. Those underprivileged children who are selected have the opportunity to attend two weeks of programming at the McMaster summer camp of their choice.

The goal of the program is to break down the barriers to post-secondary education and summer camp faced by many in the Hamilton community, and allow children in the area an equal opportunity for play, positive mentorship and sport participation.

We were nervous, we have very little money left at all and were terribly worried about what would happen to us. Luckily we spoke to most of the tourists on the bus and formed an allegiance just in case as back up
However, I do have to have a small whinge; when we were getting on the bus from Ha Noi in Vietnam we were all shouted at so much in Vietnamese after being told to be ready at 5pm we didn't actually get to the big sleeper bus till gone 8pm they tried tZo shove all of us farang into the back, into the coffin like sleepers in the aisle and in the bottom at the back. There was absolutely no way I was going to sleep in the aisle or the bottom, I bagged the best 2 seats, the only 2 that are always together at the top and sat there triumphantly waiting to see what would happen next. For 45minutes or so a young lad of no more then 13 years old bossed everyone around, pushed people physically handling them and their bags, shouting at the top of his voice for 'NOOO, TICK-ET' to pretend there were seat numbers and move us all
Phewwwww it was stressful, probably the most stressful thing we have had to encounter yet, it winds me up, the locals who got on afterwards probably paid a fraction of what we paid, all got free water and got saved the front seats (less bumpy)! To add to the trauma when we actually did get into Vientienne we got bundled into tuk tuk style jeeps to take us into town, we got asked for US$2.50 each for a couple of kilometers drive, I asked a local on the tuk tuk how much he was paying and he told me they were all paying less then a dollar each. We are honestly so out of money and $2.50 can get us a meal here so I fought our corner. She got very angry and the other tourists thought we were tight as she tried to make us get back on, threatened with the police which I openly said please call them and argued with me on the street for ages, the other tourists with us paid it and left but we didn't. The injustice of it all was boiling up in me and eventually she left but not before threatening to hit me. It was horrible and Anish did not get involved but stood with me, I am tired of paying so much more then everyone else for everything. We have given our bit every time we pay double, and more.

About Me
My name is Nathan Lockhart. I am an aspiring model with SOME experience, both paid and TFCD/TFP. I am looking to expand my portfolio, while helping you add to yours as well. I would like to make some sort of a career out of modeling. I smoke cigarettes (in regards to smoking shoots). I have a lip piercing (a stud in my bottom left lip. I am very personable, and can mesh with anyone in almost any situation. I am creative, organized, flexible regarding ideas for creative photography. My strongest features are my eyes and my strong cheekbones.
I have done shoots in:
Camarillo, California
Hagen Haspe, Germany
Rotterdam, Netherlands
I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Gabriel Traversari, who is an amazing man, and stunning photographer.
My most recent work took place in Europe where I mainly stayed in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Traveling was an amazing experience that I learned a lot from. I gained more experience modeling on this trip and I feel that I am more qualified now due to my expanded portfolio. If anyone within the surrounding area would like to do a photo shoot, just ask.
I am devoted and punctual and a very passionate person. I am extremely motivated, and my dedication is unmeasurable. My goals are to either line up enough work to make it worth my while to move to LA or Beverly Hills. If it is possable to stay here and still become a model, then I will consider that as a possability as well. I am optimistic, passionate, and creative. I hope that we can help each other out.
Thank you,
Nathan Lockhart

Date of Stay: May, 2012
Big sites with lots of grass and good for overnight. This is not a destination park unless you're going to the Kentucky Raceway nearby - electric hook-ups only with a water filling station and a dump station. If you need to stop and don't mind limited amenities it is pleasant. Be sure to call ahead. I'm not sure when their busy season is as we were the only ones in the park. The host, who was most friendly, had to meet us there to unlock the gate. Clean restrooms and showers but only one building for 300 sites. I imagine they are very busy during race times. Check photos on their web site to get an idea of layout. Last couple of miles on county road is a little narrow but not curvey or up-and-down. Frequent loud trains across the road. (GPS 38.663046 -84.937017)
Date of Stay: January, 2012
Well kept park with lots of activities. Only five pull-throughs I could see for short term stay. Although there were some narrower sites than others, I didn't see any that I wouldn't want to stay long term. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Could be alternative stop for access to South Texas amenities without the population congestion further south.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
Construction mentioned in previous review is about 80% complete with most new sites available with new modern water and electric posts. No trash or construction debris in sight. Internal road and sites hard packed and level gravel. Some grass as dry weather conditions have allowed. New restrooms and showers complete and operational. Old clubhouse/office/store just moved up to front entrance. We'd stayed here a few years ago and expected to have one of the perfectly acceptable 'original' sites (shown to the right in the satellite view) but were pleasantly surprised with the new sites and facilities. Nightly rate was reduced to $31.50 to reflect Good Sam, even though I don't find them listed as a GS park. Would stay again, and might consider a longer term.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
Inexpensive, good overnight spot with long big rig sites. Easy to get to, easy in and out with full hookups. Only 2 miles south of Cumberland Parkway (exit 62) on US 127. (3142 S. US Hwy 127).
Date of Stay: December, 2010
Adequate stop for a couple of nights if you can live with the basics. Sites are more level than some other parks nearby but I said 'no' to big rig access even though their website claims they can handle up to 40'. My 34' fifth wheel fit, but I had to disconnect truck and park widthwise behind. Cable TV is actually digital antenna and may or may not be stronger than your rig's antenna. WiFi extremely slow when tested, my broadband card worked better. It appears they are still doing some renovating and facilities and grounds are neat. We might stay again.
Date of Stay: November, 2010
This is the fourth COE park around Lake Waco. Small but appears to be recently created or renovated. Most sites have covered metal tables with neat concrete and graveled areas around. While some trees, few provided shade on campsite but sites are large and easily accessed (no trees to navigate around). $10 fee is Golden Age Pass price. We would certainly return. Nine rating is due to restrooms a bit far from some of the sites, especially lake side. BE SURE to follow directions from recreation.gov web site, as some GPS may take you over McLaughlin Rd now under water. Also, at the time of this review, three of the four COE parks around Waco Lake were mis-labeled at the recreation.gov site. The coordinates for Speegleville took you to Airport COE park. Check satellite maps around Waco Lake for clarity. Good TV and broadband card reception.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
This is one of four COE parks around Lake Lavon-I think the smallest. It is the farthest from shopping, etc. but I think the most pleasant for lake view, quiet and chance of shade. Lots of folks were fishing so good for that, too. We stayed at all four of the Lavon Lake parks this spring and we liked this the best. Only drawback, perhaps the time of year, were spiders. Every day I had to take a broom and clear off webs on the rig and truck. We we would stay again.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Not a 'resort' stop but a good choice for getting off the road with lots of room for any size rig. Nightly rate discounted for Passport if stay is minimum of 3 up to 6 nights. No-one on site, payment is by "fee envelope in the slot". Phone number above is corrected from last review. Wi-Fi was not working the week we were there. No bath or shower facilities for tenting-self contained units best. Not far south from Canton for shopping, etc. One mile south is a pleasant Mexican-American restaurant. We and would return.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
The park has new managers, here for about a year and a half..very friendly. Park buildings have been painted in the last couple of months and the whole park looks very clean. There are two restroom, shower and laundry areas, all very clean. The Wi-Fi and cable are working great. Some of the 'limitations' (like a few lots being a little narrow) are sill as mentioned in previous reviews but very few of long term units were un-attractive and nothing here would keep me from returning. GPS note..some units (like mine) may send you to Marino Road via Tioga Road, etc..an out of the way route. Marino Rd is right off Hwy 21 and is the most direct route.
Date of Stay: February, 2010
All of the nice things said in the previous reviews are still valid but we must update at least for all who enjoy this park. Improvements include a swimming pool, laundry, showers, a nice recreation hall and they provided camp hosts for a couple of months this Winter who arranged activities. Several new sites have been added so the site count above may be greater. We stayed for a week for $150 (monthly $250 plus) so I'm not positive on the nightly rate. Last year at this time we stayed a couple of months before these improvements. We'd stay any length of time and they were running some kind of special for long term stays.

The city enjoyed a record-setting December for sales-tax revenue records with a 6 percent increase over last year and more than $1.8 million collected.
The jump in sales-tax revenue in December was enough to push the year-to-date total to $13.95 million, a 0.79 percent increase from last year. The year-end numbers are good news for the city, which just six months ago was facing a 3 percent decrease in sales-tax revenue from the year before.
Five of the first seven months of 2003 were down and the other two had minimal increases, but from August on, sales-tax revenues climbed continuously, with the largest jump coming in December.
Last year was the first time the city hit the $1.8 million sales-tax mark in December. March, which typically brings in the most revenue, brought in more than $1.8 million for three years straight from 2000 to 2002. The sales tax collected in December 2003 was the highest one-month total since March 2002.
December is traditionally the second-highest revenue-producing month. A 6 percent increase in sales tax for December meant the city's coffers increased by $116,600.
Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association's Executive President Sandy Evans Hall said she was hoping for a 5 percent increase in sales-tax revenue.
"I was pleased to see a little bit more," Evans Hall said.
December lodging numbers also were strong. The accommodation tax increased 14.31 percent from the same month in 2002, bringing in $96,360. December was one of just five months in 2003 that topped the previous year's numbers.
For that reason, despite December's strong showing the accommodation tax year-end total was still below last year's total. Just $614,830 was collected in 2003, a 2.28 percent decrease from the year before.
At Tuesday's City Council meeting, Councilwoman Kathy Connell noted that it was the third dismal winter the lodging community has seen. She said visitors tend toward last-minute bookings and are staying for shorter times. The ramifications are being felt, she said.
"The numbers are looking below last year, and last year was the worst year in 10 years," Connell said.
Evans Hall also said she was slightly disappointed by the low numbers the retail sector produced in December, which was up just 2.49 percent from 2002, and the 4.62 percent drop in sales tax coming from the downtown area.
"It was surprising the downtown retail experience did not fare better," Evans Hall said.
For the rest of the ski season, Evans Hall predicts January to be a little soft compared with last year, but February and March to be strong.
The building-use tax also ended on a high note for the year with a 73.75 percent increase from 2002's year-end number. The year-end total was just more than $1 million, a significant increase from the less than $600,000 the city collected last year.
The building-use tax saw a 96 percent increase in December with $32,600 being collected.

Tom Coughlin said it just didn't work out for drafting corners. Said there was a guy they liked better at each pick.
When Reese said he doesn't care about sexy picks, he really meant that
Playable CBs under contract for 2014:
Teams run 3 wide or more 60% of the time. Why not defend that with scrubs, retreads or rookies ?
With webster and ross at the corner, we might be giving up some big plays. We need help at both LB and CB. We could have waited for a qb either next year or thereafter.
When Corey Toaster starts getting burned Jerry Reech may regret neglecting a glaring need and wasting a pick on a mediocre QB.

Instruction Program
Designed to be a collaborative effort between faculty and librarian liaisons, the library's instruction program provides individual and class instruction.
Why Participate?
- 70% has been the average score on The Information Literacy Assessment, one of the College's annual Placement Exams administered to first-years; it measures basic and intermediate knowledge of library research skills.
- "for over three-fourths (84%) of the students surveyed, the most difficult step of the course-related research process was getting started ." - 2010 Project Information Literacy Student Survey
- 75% of 71 independent- and honors-project Bowdoin seniors surveyed indicated that they learned their library research skills from a class taught by a reference librarian
- "… incorporate into the course an introduction to information sources and to critical evaluation of source materials." -Faculty Guidelines for FY Seminars
What We Offer
We have developed a multi-faceted, collaborative approach by incorporating traditional, innovative and interactive instruction services to assist students in developing skills to find, evaluate, analyze, and ethically use research resources.
Course-related instruction session
Librarians work with faculty to develop sessions that focus on a specific assignment or project to enrich the learning experience. In your classroom or in our electronic classrooms, students are introduced to strategies for efficiently and effectively using the most relevant library resources and to a helpful and knowledgeable librarian.
Guides to research
Designed for general subject areas or customized for specific classes, the guides present 24/7 access to the most relevant research resources, research strategies, and information about the library's services and resources.
First-year seminar instruction
First-year library instruction at the seminar level provides an essential foundation for students' understanding of how academic literature is organized and used. This solid grounding will serve students throughout their entire Bowdoin careers and form the basis for developing more advanced library research skills in their major fields of study.
First-year librarian program
Initiated in the summer of 2011, the First Year Librarian Program assigns a librarian to each first-year student in order to assist with the transition from a high school to a college library and to introduce them to library services and resources early in their college careers. Faculty are urged to contact the FY librarian if they have a student advisee or in their courses who would benefit from additional support.
Individual research consultations
Beginning research help, assisting with research throughout a large project, or just some extra support as needed, librarians conducted over 350 research consultations 2010-2011. We encourage students and faculty to meet with librarians individually to get targeted assistance with projects, assignments, locating materials, questions, or suggestions for re-invigorating the research process.
Contact your liaison to schedule a class, appointment, or simply to find out more about our instruction program.

To Lancaster House, and a sombre commemoration for the victims of the Srebrenica massacre. It was hosted last night by former BBC correspondent Martin Bell and included moving testimony from four massacre survivors. Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary (who called General Mladic "Mladen") spoke, as did Baroness Warsi, who described the commemoration as a "healing" event for her and the Foreign Secretary, William Hague.
Paddy Ashdown, former High Representative in Bosnia, declared the situation now was worse than when he left six years before. Among the guests at the reception afterwards was former Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd, who attracted criticism during the conflict for his support of the arms embargo on the Bosnian government as well as Serb forces.
Would he do things differently?
"Yes … everyone made mistakes" was as near as he came last night to admitting he got it wrong on Bosnia.Reuse content

There are many individuals who shaped the past and present Prince William Forest Park. Click on the links below to learn more about these fascinating lives.
Spies in the Park (Office of Strategic Services)
From 1942-1945, the Office of Strategic Services occupied Prince William Forest Park. Beneath the cover of a vast forest, America's fledgling spy agency trained thousands of men how to win the hidden front of World War II - the clandestine war.
Summer Camps
Civilian Conservation Corps
The Civilian Conservation Corps built Prince William Forest Park from scratch. From 1936 to 1942, the CCC used locally harvested materials to turn farmland into an outdoor playground for D.C. area residents.
Park Families
Generations of families lived, farmed, and died on lands that today make up Prince William Forest Park. Remnants of their lives are scattered beneath this forest preserve. They are our park families, and their stories should not be forgotten.
African American History
The African American story in Prince William Forest Park is as diverse as the wildflowers in springtime. Learn more about the African American experiences of workers at the Cabin Branch Pyrite Mine, farmers in Hickory Ridge and Batestown, and summer camp kids who left D.C. during the great depression to enjoy the great outdoors.
Washington & Rochambeau
The great Revolutionary War Generals George Washington and the French Comte de Rochambeau marched together toward Yorktown and toward victory. They used a historic road trace that now passes through Prince William Forest Park.
American Indians
Chopawamsic means 'by the small isolated lodge' in the language of the Algonquian people who once inhabited this land. Learn more about their lives and livelihoods on this land before European contact.

Can Darwian Tubercle on Helix of Ear Be Removed Without Scarring?
Doctor Answers 8
Ear Plastic Surgery without scarring
Web reference: http://www.earlobe-repair.com/
Darwinian Tubercle Removal
This tubercle can be removed under local anesthesia with a scar hidden on the back of the ear, but you will have a scar. Kenneth Hughes, MD ear pinning Los Angeles, CA
Removal of a Darwin tubercle without a scar
A small quarter inch incision is usually all that is necessary from behind the ear to go in and remove the Darwin tubercle. This is a simple procedure done under local anesthesia. A small inconspicuous scar on the back of the ear is all that will be required.
You might also like...
Scarring after ear surgery
Whenever a cut is made anywhere in the body, a scar is inevitable.
In plastic surgery, the surgeon tries to hide/mask the scar. For the ear, this usually means placing the scar in the back of the ear where it is not visible, or sometimes along the normal curvature of the ear (the helical fold) so that the scar is not very apparent.
Darwinian tubercle removal: may need cartilage and skin alteration
In addition to the comments below, a Darwinian tubercle can be made up of skin and cartilage. Removal of the underlying cartilage excess alone may not correct the problem. The overlying skin, which has been "stretched" by the underlying cartilage, may not completely shrink to conform to the new cartilage shape. Thus skin excision may in fact be desired, which may require an incsion along the udersurface of the helix.
Removal of Darwinian's Tubercle of Ear Without Visible Scar
No surgery can be performed without a scar, the question is how discreet will the scar be. In removal of the excess cartilage that is the source of the thickening on the inner edge of the helical rim (Darwinian's Tubercle), the incision is placed on the underside of the rim. So even during the healing process it can not be seen. So in this example of ear surgery, the procedure is done with no resultant visible ear scarring.
Web reference: http://www.eppleyotoplasty.com
Can Darwian Tubercle on Helix of Ear Be Removed Without Scarring?
No and ... yes. There will need to be a scar but it can be hidden in the fold of the ear and closed very carefully. This creates a scar that should not be noticeable to anyone other than yourself. I hope this information is helpful.

EXCLUSIVE: A mental institution will live up to its funny farm nickname as the setting of a half-hour NBC comedy project written and executive produced by playwright-screenwriter Neil LaBute (The Shape Of Things) and executive produced by Aaron Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment. Harmony House centers on a young psychiatric resident who finds the woman of his dreams in the most unlikely of places: as a patient in the psychiatric facility where he recently has taken a job. The single-camera project is a romantic comedy that reminds us that love can drive you a little crazy. 20th Century Fox TV is producing. The Harmony House sale comes on the heels of ICM Partners-repped LaBute signing a deal with DirecTV to produce a series of 10 short films about human relationships. DirecTV's limited series Full Circle, based on LaBute scripts, premieres next month.
NBC Nabs Neil LaBute Romantic Comedy Set In A Mental Institution
11 Comments
Neil Labute and a romantic comedy. This I gotta see.
Look at the bright side: At least we won't be subjected to his crappy plays now.
that's pretty much why NBC made the deal, to protect people like you. thank god you won't be 'subjected' to my crappy plays for a while– you could also just not read them or attend them but i wouldn't want to force you into making such monumental life decisions when you have important comments to make on web pages like this one. good luck in your future as a creator of snarky asides.
I just got back from LATW at UCLA which showed this gifted writer's play, Reasons to be Pretty. If whoever wrote this thinks his plays are boring then that person has a huge problem. This was one of the most fantastic plays I have ever seen. Please, please Neil LaBute…. continue to write. Both my friend and I walked out of there groupies for life.
I hope this show doesnt exploit the mentally ill & continues to promote stigma & prejudices. Laughs shouldn't come at the expense of people who need treatment.
Romantic comedy? LaBute is getting soft! Waiting for "In The Company of Men: The Series," where two guys torment a deaf chick and a minority hire every week. "It's not AXE, it's ASK."
I've always been a fan of Neil's voice and his writing – going all the way back to grad school. The show will be a breath of fresh air.
I don't see LaBute and comedy going together, especially on network primetime. Could it be the announcement itself is the comedy?
Why do network executives jerk themselves off with ideas like this from, talented, but dark, dark, dark "comedy writers" like LaBute. I have seen his movies that critics called "darkly funny" and not laughed once. I'm sure it's me. I guess it makes a good announcement but how many times does it make a good show. Send this one off to Netflix where they can say 5 million people watched it over its first weekend even though we all know better!
Remember Wicker Man? That was so bad it was funny. Maybe this will be the same
I saw Neil made a comment here. If you're still reading this thread, Neil, please hear what I have to say.
I've been a theatre major, I've enjoyed your plays and movies to different degrees, and I've also been in and out of psychiatric facilities. I'm terrified of this project and how simply the premise will add to the stigma of the mentally ill. Creating a sitcom, or comedy, focusing on patients suffering in a hospital is a cruel idea. To play my own devil's advocate, yes, Scrubs was set in a hospital, but it parodied hospital dramas. There is very little understanding in the general population of what a psychiatric hospital is like. I wasn't prepared for what I experienced, the good and bad, the helpful and frightening. Making a comedy out of the experience of a psychiatric ward will warp the viewer into thinking it's a piece of cake to spend weeks (or longer?) in a hospital, or it's a literal "funny farm." There is obviously no man yelling racial threats, or drug addicts flying into rages about their lunch lacking salt. (I have more stories, I'll keep this shorter though.)
The description of this show involves at least one patient, so it's already a set up to create humor out of those who have mental illnesses, suffering that can never be truly cured and only treated. If someone is in a facility, as worded in the description of this comedy, they are in severe pain. A resident falling in love with a patient in a comedy series is saying crossing patient/doctor lines is funny, instead of a situation where a man is taking advantage of a woman in a full time care ward while she is possibly having difficulty making decisions under the influence of heavy medications or her situation. I'm also not getting into the problems and male falling in love with a female can create in terms of consent and could blow up in the media to a greater degree than the psychiatric factor.
Finally, the last last line of the sitcom's description says "love can drive you a little crazy." Those with mental illness (1 in 4 people), are not crazy. Who is crazy? The stigma attached to simply that statement is so hurtful. Let's laugh at the suffering of patients in full time care, and how instead of assisting someone in pain we should consider the resident's actions funny. The "others" we call insane are comedic in and of themselves.
I know I must come across as just some mean internet commenter in parts of this. I'm not, I never even comment on youtube because I get annoyed by "trolls" and the like. I'm just very upset merely hearing about this sitcom and how it will affect people like me. I know this won't change anything, even if Neil LaBute does read this.
But call me crazy, I had to write something to get this anger and fear off my mind.

Police plan to hold checkpoint Friday
Police are planning to hold a checkpoint late Friday, officials said.
The checkpoint will be held from 7 p.m. Friday to 3 a.m. Saturday on South Fair Oaks Avenue, near the city's southern limit, police said in a written statement.
"Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public," according to the statement.
"Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, court probation and other expenses that can exceed $10,000," the police statement said.
Suspect arrested in armed robberies
Deputies served a warrant early Thursday and arrested a man suspected of three armed robberies along Whittier Boulevard earlier this month, authorities said.
David Jimenez, 38, of West Whittier, was booked on suspicion of robbery following the 7:15 a.m. raid on his home in the 6000 block of McNees Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Robert Smith said.
Jimenez was wanted in connection with three robberies that took place between Feb. 4 and Feb. 12 along Whittier Boulevard, just west of the 605 Freeway, in unincorporated West Whittier, the lieutenant said.
The robberies targeted the same doughnut shop twice, as well as a nearby gas station, Smith said.
Cash and merchandise were taken in the heists, he said.
"Detectives developed information that led them to believe the suspect was a resident of an adjacent neighborhood," Smith said.
Jimenez was arrested without a struggle when deputies arrived at his home early Thursday, he added.
According to county booking records, Jimenez was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail pending arraignment Monday in Whittier Superior Court.
Former ICE agent, wife convicted of fraud
A former assistant special agent in charge for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and his wife were convicted Thursday of defrauding the government of about $580,000 in salary and benefits.
A jury found Frank Johnston, 55, of Whittier, guilty of 22 counts of wire fraud and one count of theft of government property over $500,000, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Akrotirianakis.
He said the jurors also convicted Taryn Johnston, 54, of two counts of making false statements to federal investigators.
Authorities said Taryn Johnston was paid from 2002 to 2008 when she did virtually no work for ICE and its predecessor agency, the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
She previously worked as an immigration enforcement agent and then as an intelligence research specialist for the law enforcement agencies.
Her husband became her supervisor and assigned her to an INS office six blocks from the INS' office in Los Angeles. He then approved her time sheets.
Akrotirianakis said Taryn Johnston stayed at home and volunteered at the library.
Frank Johnston retired from ICE in August 2009.
The couple are out on bond pending their sentencing May 4 in a Los Angeles federal court.

text: Just finished reading your March 2014 issue. As usual, it had interesting content and beautiful photography. However, I'd like to offer my view of the retractable work light/flashlight combo reviewed in the Workshop column. I bought one from Eastwood a few months ago and have encountered a few problems. The wiring to the charger is a very small gauge and easily damaged. I broke the wiring after using it about 4 times. Also, the connector for the wire from the charger is easily damaged, making recharging very difficult.I have bought and used a lot of items from Eastwood over the last few years and have been very satisfied with the quality of their products. I'll continue to buy from them, but I hope they will upgrade the wiring on the light.Fordfeller

Josh Trank Already Made a 'Star Wars' Movie (in 2007)
in Comic News, Movie News Comment
Wednesday's big news was, of course, that The Fantastic Four director Josh Trank will helm one of the Star Wars standalone movies. However, it turns out the filmmaker already took a stab at a galaxy far, far away … a long time ago. Well, Santa Barbara, in 2007.
Following the announcement from Disney and Lucasfilm, a COPS-style Star Wars parody video that Trank directed seven years ago has resurfaced. Titled "Stabbing at Leia's 22nd Birthday," the NSFW video (language) from Studio 8 Comedy documents what happens when testosterone-fueled teen Jedis get their hands on alcohol. And lightsabers.
Trank, of course, went on to use a similar found-footage approach for his 2012 feature directorial debut Chronicle.
