WOW! I liked Fadeev!
Nours that is definitely the 1949 Worlds in Paris. British Pathe have a lot of the same footage although they have it mislabelled as the Europeans from that year. Great footage and so cool to see such a lot of Dick Button's skating.

^In all seriousness, did Baiul only have one LP?
(thank you so much for all the vids btw )
She only competed internationally for two seasons (fall 1992 through winter 1994). It's pretty normal for skaters to keep the same program for two seasons.
We don't know what she was doing at lower levels during the Soviet period. She was not sent to junior internationals.

Well, it's not Oksana's fault if the was only given the one LP for Senior competition. Perhaps it was a problem of finances? Although, I vaguely recall her coach saying something along the lines of if a program is working why change it for the Olympics? I suppose she thought they had a winner=and in the end it was.

It looked as though he'd be unbeatable by now... {{{{SIGH}}}}

North Highline voters clearly decline Burien's annexation offer
Eric Mathison contributed to this report
As the nation went to the polls on Nov. 6 to decide, amongst many other things, who would lead the U.S. for the next four years, voters in North Highline's Area Y emphatically declined annexation to Burien, keeping their unincorporated status intact for the foreseeable future.
The culturally diverse swath of land between Seattle and Burien is home to an estimated 17,400 people over 2,045 acres, and includes White Center. As of Nov. 10, there were 3,254 voters saying no to annexation (65 percent), versus 1,766 (35 percent) looking for change.
"The vote was a heartfelt expression from the community," Burien City Manager Mike Martin said once the results were in. "It removes the cloud of uncertainty for the city of Burien."
"It clarifies our vision: It's a good thing to know where our borders are."
Burien's goal was to increase their population to 65,000 and expand their tax base while providing city services to the newly annexed area. It was an election that became increasingly contentious over the months leading up to November, with pro- and anti-annexation camps of mixed North Highline and Burien citizens forming and calling each others statistics and promises inaccurate.
Political action committees came together, money was raised and spent, and as it came time to mail in ballots, vacant patches of grass and willing fences became inundated with signs voicing an opinion one way or the other.
North Highline will continue to be governed by King County as a result of the election, although the county has made it clear they wish to end governance over urban unincorporated lands like Area Y.
"We acknowledge the decision of the residents of … North Highline … to remain in unincorporated King County for the immediate future," King County Executive Dow Constantine said in as statement. "(The county) will continue to do its best to provide services to these areas within the resources available. The mandate of the state Growth Management Act remains unchanged– that urban areas should be in cities, which are in a better position to provide urban-level services.
"It's going to be up to the residents of these urban unincorporated areas and their adjacent cities to decide if and when an annexation vote will come up again," he continued. "It is certainly in the interest of the cities to act before the sales tax relief provided by the state expires in 2015."
Burien said they would be given $5 million a year over ten years in sales tax credit from the state if they annexed North Highline; a critical element in the economic viability of the plan.
Annexation opponents argued that annexing White Center and the remaining North Highline area was not financially feasible for Burien. They cast doubt on whether Burien would receive the full $5 million a year for ten years.
Seattle has also shown interest in annexing North Highline in the past. Burien Councilmember Gerald Robison, the council's strongest annexation advocate, has stated that Seattle still wants to annex North Highline, Martin said he doesn't know the intention of Seattle officials leading up the to 2015 tax credit deadline.
There were many other points of dispute.
The opponents estimated taxes and fees on North Highline residents could increase by $400 per year. Martin said net taxes would go up by $140 a year.
Annexation opponents from North Highline worried the area would lose its independence by being annexed to Burien, and take on stricter regulations with business signs and tree pruning. Martin said the city would not actively pursue those codes.
They contended Burien would not expand police coverage in White Center or improve other services, making the argument that homeowners and businesses would take a tax hit with no benefit in exchange, and voiced concern over the city's ability to support North Highline's immigrant, low-income and elderly population. Martin shot back that those communities are largely supported by non-profits, such as the White Center Community Development Association, and that would not change.
Annexation proponents on the other hand, argued that annexation would give North Highline residents more of a voice in how they were governed instead of being faced with increasingly fewer services from King County.
Barbara Dobkin, president of the North Highline Unincorporated Area Council, was vocal in her support of annexation while Mark Ufkes, president of the White Center Chamber of Commerce, was a staunch critic of the proposal.
Ufkes declined to be interviewed for this story, but said he would discuss North Highline's decision after all votes have been counted. We will update with his reactions at that time.
"It's not a good outlook," Dobkin said of North Highline's future, listing off a number of concerns including the fire department losing funding over time if Tukwila is successful in annexing the Delta Marine industrial zone, not getting additional deputies for the area, deteriorating roads and parks, the King County permit office moving to Snoqualmie, the potential closure or consolidation of White Center and Boulevard Park libraries (anti-annexation proponents argued annexation had nothing to do with the library decision), and expanding homelessness.
"You need a voice, you need a local government to take care of these issues," she declared. "I don't see a lot of hope for this community."
Asked why the vote was so lopsided against annexation, Dobkin said, "there are a lot of people in the community, a lot of old timers who just want to stay unincorporated. I think the anti-annexation (group) had some influence, but I'm not giving them credit for all of it.
"The notion of staying independent is a misnomer," she continued. "We are not independent, we are dictated to by the county and we have no say in what the county does to this community or does not do to this community, so how that is independent I don't know."
"We'll see what happens when people are driving out to Snoqualmie for a building permit …, we'll see where we get when our roads start really deteriorating and we'll see where we get when everything is just collapsing around us. People might change their minds."
So for now the residents of North Highline will continue on as unincorporated, just as they have since people started moving into the area at the turn of the 20th century. With Burien unlikely to attempt annexation again and the state's Growth Management Act looming overhead, two eventual options remain: become a city or join Seattle if they send an invite.

i use double 5 frame deeps. i made the nucs in late july with 4 frames and a feeder and put 5 frames of foundation above them. they mostly drew all of the foundation out in september when goldenrod came in. i'm getting ready to make some nucs like his for raising queens. i'm going to make a screened board that i can slide into the middle spot in the fall to combine the two halves into one after i use one of the queens to replace any slackers.
sc-bee, what was your reasons for purchasing queens ? If you can, you should let your bees do what's normal and raise their own queens. That is if they have the means to do so. It would seem that lots of people are having great luck with it. The purchased queens from afar seem to fail alot these days.
10framer - north east gA , wouldn't be speaking of LULA would ya? I've had problems with queens from there myself.
SCbee - I know what you mean. All said, all done, is your current queens doing well or still having other issues?
That is the kind that folks put packages together with. Here is what I am referring to in use by M Palmer, Not he two inches of duct tape around the top. He states the bees will not cross the duct tape and will remain below the tape in the box vs boiling out. He also stated somewhere in the long version video that about 30% of his hives have double queens (I think I got that number right). Of course a rouge queen will wreck your queen cells so he uses the shaker box when he makes up all his cell builders.Beekeeping: Building Cell Builders with Mike Palmer

Is there an app for this?
- [ Ignore ]
As I was visiting B&N to get my free ebook coupon, I was looking around and saw a book that I almost bought. Then I had this hunch that I had already bought it, but just hadn't read it yet. It made me think I would like an app to put on my iMac,, iPhone, and iPad where I could keep a catalog of my books, both paper and ebooks. I know there are a couple of Mac applications, but are there any that would sync with a (preferably) universal iPhone/iPad app so that it would be easy to always know what books you already own?

LAKELAND, FL (April 7, 2014) - The Lakeland City Commission voted to increase the fuel charge for Lakeland Electric customers $2.50 cents per 1,000 kWh effective for meters read on or after May 1, 2014. The new fuel charge will be $43.35 per 1,000 kWh.
After listening to a presentation at the Monday, April 7th Utility Committee meeting, staff recommended an increase to the current fuel charge based on fuel forecasts that indicates growing natural gas prices for the upcoming year.
RESIDENTIAL RATES BASED ON 1,000 kWh
Current New Rates – Effective May 1, 2014
Base Charge $ 59.64 $ 59.64 (includes environmental charges)
Fuel Charge $ 40.85 $ 43.35 (includes fuel increase)
The base rate includes environmental compliance charges that are directly related to federal and state initiatives regarding clean air and water mandates. Most of the expenses are related to energy production and include air emission controls, water quality monitoring and capital spending for equipment necessary to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Act.
Lakeland Electric bills are broken out for customer convenience in detail to show the base charge, fuel charge and appropriate taxes and service charges. The fuel charge on a utility bill is exactly that, the actual costs for fuel used to generate the amount of electricity used within your residence. Most utilities subscribe to the same billing practice and break out the base rate and the fuel charge for their customers. There is no mark-up in fuel. In fact, fuel is a straight pass-through charge to customers.
Based on Florida Municipal Electric Association data, Lakeland Electric's residential rates after the May 1, 2014 fuel charge increase will be the continue to be the lowest in the state. Visit www.lakelandelectric.com for more information and to see a residential rate comparison.

Site: Iowa City, Iowa (Duane Banks Field)
Score: Michigan 5, Iowa 2
Records: U-M (13-25, 6-6 Big Ten), Iowa (15-22, 4-8 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Friday, April 29 -- at Ohio State (Columbus, Ohio), 7 p.m. (TV: Big Ten Network)
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Junior Brandon Sinnery (Worcester, Mass./Worcester Academy) threw his second consecutive complete game, striking out seven in the process, as the University of Michigan baseball team took its second straight Big Ten series with a 5-2 win over Iowa Sunday afternoon (April 24) at Duane Banks Field. Sinnery allowed eight hits and two runs with two walks in the complete-game effort. He had 1-2-3 innings in the fourth, seventh and eighth frames.
Sinnery received a run of support in the first. Iowa starter Patrick Lala walked sophomore Patrick Biondi (Woodhaven, Mich./Divine Child) and junior/sophomore Kevin Krantz (Traverse City, Mich./Central) to open the game. Biondi came home on a single from freshman Michael O'Neill (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty). Lala retired the next three hitters to keep it at 1-0. Iowa tied the game in the bottom of the first. Trevor Willis singled, stole second, and scored on a single up the middle from Mike McQuillan.
Michigan scored the game-winning runs in the second. Fifth-year senior Anthony Toth (Lorain, Ohio/St. Ignatius) singled and moved to second on a walk to junior John Lorenz (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East). Freshman Cole Martin (Bay City, Mich./John Glenn) moved the runners up 90 feet on a sacrifice bunt. Krantz came through with a big hit, a two-run single to leftfield, as the Maize and Blue led, 3-1.
Iowa made it 3-2 in the fifth as Keith Brand singled, moved to second on a walk to Kasey Carling, went to third on a Willis sacrifice bunt, and scored on a groundout off the bat of Zach McCool.
Michigan added insurance in the ninth. Krantz doubled with one out. Junior Coley Crank (Pinole, Calif./Pinole Valley) brought him in with a two-out single to left. Freshman pinch runner Adam Robinson (Northbrook, Ill./Glenbrook North) stole second and scored on a double by sophomore Derek Dennis (Ada, Mich./Forest Hills Central), making it 5-2 Wolverines.
Krantz was 3-for-4 with two RBI in the win. For Iowa, Brand went 2-for-4 with a run scored.
Lala took the loss, allowing three runs and three hits with six walks in three-plus innings. Zach Kenyon struck out three batters in 5.2 innings of relief.
Michigan is now in a five-way tie for fourth place after this weekend's action as the Big Ten schedule hits the halfway point.
Michigan will take the midweek off for final exams before returning to the diamond Friday night (April 29) at Ohio State. First pitch at Bill Davis Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, is scheduled for 7 p.m., and the game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
With Sunday's win, Michigan vaulted from a tie for sixth into a five-way tie for fourth place in the Big Ten standings with Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Ohio State at 6-6.
The Wolverines collected their second straight conference series win of the season vs. Illinois and Iowa. It marks the first back-to-back series wins since winning two of three games to close out the 2010 season at home vs. Northwestern (May 14-16) and at Penn State (May 20-22).
Junior/sophomore IF/OF Kevin Krantz, who is hitting .243 (28-for-115), was 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI Sunday at Iowa. His two-run single snapped a 1-1 tie in the second inning and proved to be the game-winning hit. Krantz leads the team with his three "gamers" this season.
Krantz, who started at 1B Sunday, is second on the team with eight doubles, and he is third on the team with 18 RBI. He has seven multi-hit games this season and eight career multi-hit games as a Wolverine.
Junior RHP Brandon Sinnery (2-2, 2.56 ERA) pitched his second straight complete-game victory, allowing eight hits and two runs Sunday at Iowa. Sinnery has eight career wins as a Wolverine.
Sinnery, who has U-M's only two complete games this season, recorded seven strikeouts vs. Iowa, giving him 16 in his last two starts. He is third on the team with 28 K's in his 38.2 innings pitched.
Sophomore CF Patrick Biondi, who is hitting .303 (46-for-152) to share the team lead with Michael O'Neill, was 1-for-4 in Sunday's win at Iowa. Biondi had a sixth-inning single to extend his current personal season-best hitting streak to 11 games. Biondi is hitting .386 (17-for-44) with 10 stolen bases and 10 runs scored during his streak.
Biondi led off the first inning of Sunday's game at Iowa with a walk, stole second base, and scored on a single by Michael O'Neill. Biondi has scored in the first inning as U-M's leadoff batter nine times this season, seven times in the 12 Big Ten games, and 30 times in his U-M career.
Biondi, who leads the team with 21 stolen bases, matched his career best with three steals Sunday at Iowa. Biondi ranks sixth on U-M's career stolen base list with 50, leaving him two behind Rodney Goble (52, 1992-95) for fifth place on U-M's career steals list.
Freshman RF Michael O'Neill, who is hitting .303 (46-for-152) to share the team lead with Patrick Biondi, was 1-for-5 Sunday at Iowa with a run-scoring single in the first inning. O'Neill leads the Wolverines with 20 RBI.
O'Neill's run-scoring single in the first inning Sunday extended his current hitting streak to five games. O'Neill has hits in 32 of his 38 games this season.
Senior co-captain 2B/SS Anthony Toth, who is hitting .213 (30-for-141), was 1-for-3 in Sunday's win at Iowa. Toth has hits in three consecutive games.
Sophomore SS Derek Dennis, who is hitting .281 (25-for-89), was 1-for-4 with a run-scoring double Sunday at Iowa.
Junior catcher/OF/DH Coley Crank, who is hitting .259 (35-for-135), was 1-for-4 with a run-scoring single and a walk Sunday at Iowa.
Crank has hits in 16 of his last 19 games, and nearly half of his 35 hits this season have been for extra bases (17), including 12 doubles, one triple and four homers. He is second on the team with 19 RBI and has 94 career RBI as a Wolverine.

More prescribed burning due on Ochoco Forest
Burn south of Bend about half-over
BEND, Ore. - Deschutes County 911 dispatchers were swamped with calls Tuesday about a tall smoke plume and were reassured it was only a planned, prescribed burn south of Bend.
Forest Service officials had advised Monday of plans for the 400-acre burn as part of the South Bend Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project located along China Hat Road (Forest Service Road 18) between the Deschutes National Forest boundary and Horse Butte, adjacent to the Woodside Ranch subdivision.
Late in the day, fire dispatchers said only about half of the area had been burned, so the project likely will continue later this week -- but not Wednesday, as the winds could blow smoke into town.
The goal of the project is to reduce fuels adjacent to the subdivision and the urban interface with Bend, which will create a defensible space and reintroduce fire back into the ecosystem, officials said.
Meanwhile, over the next two weeks, Ochoco National Forest fuels specialists will use prescribed fire to burn approximately 1,575 acres across the Ochoco National Forest.
The East Maury Jackpot burning project is located approximately 12-15 miles SE of Post. The areas to be burned cover approximately 1,000 acres, and are spread out across the east side of the Maury Mountains.
Ignitions will take place over the next couple weeks as weather allows. Fuels specialists plan to improve wildlife habitat and range conditions while reducing hazardous fuels. Burning will also reduce fuel loadings associated with prior mechanical treatments. Smoke impacts may occur on local forest roads for short durations.
The Zane burning project is located approximately 15 miles south of Mitchell, and east of Big Summit Prairie. Fuels Specialists plan to burn approximately 500 acres to reduce hazardous fuels and to introduce fire back into the Ponderosa pine ecosystem. Ignition is planned 4/25/13, dependent on weather conditions. Forest Road 30 may be impacted with smoke and fire traffic.
The Squirrel Ridge project, located approximately 15 miles NE of Prineville, in the Mill Creek drainage, is nearly completed. This project will improve wildlife habitat, improve range conditions, and reduce hazardous fuels. Ignition on the remaining 75 acres of this project was scheduled for Wednesday.
No road closures are anticipated with these projects. However, if smoke drifts on to local roads, motorists should slow down, turn on headlights, and proceed with care. Once ignited, projects are monitored by firefighters until they are declared out.
Fuels specialists will follow policies outlined in the Oregon Department of Forestry smoke management plan, which governs prescribed burns, and attempts to minimize impacts to visibility and public health.

IRS Warns Tax Filing Deadlines And Refunds Could Be Delayed By Brian Naylor • Nov 12, 2014 The Internal Revenue Service has warned of tax season chaos if Congress fails to pass a series of breaks by the end of November.

KY Taxpayers Get Extra Days This Year to File By Seth Helton • Apr 9, 2012 The Kentucky Department of Revenue is reminding taxpayers this year they'll have two extra days to file their income taxes. The 2012 deadline is April 17th because of Emancipation Day, a holiday observed in the District of Columbia which falls on Monday, April 16th. By law, D.C holidays affect tax deadlines in the same way federal holidays do. All valid six month extensions filed on or before April 17th will extend the due date for filing until October 15th. Also, the IRS is postponing certain tax deadlines for those who reside or have a business in a disaster area until May 31st. Tax Advice for Farmers By Stu Johnson (KPR) • Mar 23, 2012 Floods in 2011 and this year's tornadoes could complicate the tax returns filed by Kentucky farmers. For example, when farmers receive an insurance check for damaged crops, IRS spokesman Luis Garcia says they must claim that money as income. And, if bad weather forces the early sale of livestock, Garcia says that income can sometimes be claimed on next year's tax return.

Just before Xmas we learned that on-again/off-again/on-again love birds Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were on-again as they were spotted smoochin' up a storm at an airport in Utah (they were there to go skiing with Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, who just broke up). In the weeks that followed, Justena decided to break up again. I didn't report the break-up cuz I figured they'd be back together again soon but … I guess the couple are really broken up for good this time. Like, for really reals and stuff. Dunzo … for good.
No wonder Justin Bieber has been acting out: Days before the pop star, 18, was caught smoking pot in shocking TMZ photos, he and girlfriend Selena Gomez have parted ways yet again — this time for good, multiple sources tell the new Us Weekly … Although Bieber and the singer-actress, 20, journeyed to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico for a New Year's trip, their happy holiday was cut short when Gomez abruptly flew home to Los Angeles on Dec. 30. "They had another huge fight, and Selena won't forgive him," an insider tells Us Weekly of the perpetually on-again, off-again pair. It certainly seems final this time — with Gomez spending New Year's Eve at an L.A. house party with pals, while Bieber rang in 2013 with rapper pal Lil Twist at L.A. club Couture, where he flirted with various girls. "He's been really down about the breakup," a source admits. Citing Bieber's "bad influence," another pal insists: "Selena is done with him." For more details on the breakup, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday.
Uh huh. Broken up "for good", they say. Meh. It's about time … I had a feeling this making-up/breaking-up thing couldn't last forever but then again, I don't totally think they're dunzo for really reals just yet. They may stay apart for a while but something tells me this isn't the end of Justena. Any guesses how long it'll take for the pair to get back together … or do you really think their young love is dead for good?

Interactive Data for Financial Reporting
A Small Entity Compliance Guide*
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted amendments that require companies to provide their financial statements in interactive data format using eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) by submitting them to the SEC and posting them on their corporate Web sites. The amendments are located principally in form exhibit requirements (e.g., Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K), Rules 405 and 406T of Regulation S-T and the EDGAR Filer Manual.
The disclosure in interactive data format will be in addition to, rather than instead of, disclosure in the traditional electronic filing formats of ASCII or HTML. Financial statements already are, and will continue to be, required to be submitted to the SEC in traditional format under existing requirements.
Companies will become subject to the interactive data requirements in three groups. Smaller reporting companies will be in the last group. These requirements will not apply to investment companies – they will be subject to a separate set of requirements.
The primary purpose of the amendments is to make financial information easier for investors to analyze and to assist companies in automating regulatory filings and business information processing.
The phase-in schedule will apply to three groups of companies.
Year 1 —
Year 2 —
Year 3 —
A company will be required to tag the face of its financial statements in its first year of interactive data reporting. A company also will be required to tag its financial statement footnotes and financial statement schedules in its first year, but only as blocks of text. After the first year of such tagging, a company also will be required to tag the detailed quantitative disclosures within the footnotes and schedules.
After the phase-in, newly public companies will become subject to the interactive data requirements for the first quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 20-F or 40-F, as applicable, due after they become public companies.
Optional Early Compliance
Companies that are not required to provide interactive data until a later time will have the option to do so earlier. They may provide interactive data at their discretion until required by the amendments. They also may tag footnotes and schedules individually as blocks of text until required to tag the detailed quantitative disclosures within the footnotes and schedules. Otherwise, however, they must follow the same requirements as those mandated and can only use a grace period (discussed below) for their initial submission and their initial detail-tagged-footnote and schedule submission, whether submitted voluntarily or as required by the amendments.
Creating Required Interactive Data
Specifically, the amendments will require that companies submit to the Commission and post on their corporate Web sites (if they have one) a new exhibit with their financial statements (Exhibit 101), including the footnotes and schedules to the financial statements, in interactive data format.
Financial reporting in interactive format requires a standard list of tags. The standard list's tags are similar to definitions in an ordinary dictionary, and they cover a variety of financial concepts that can be read and understood by software applications. A company must use the appropriate list of tags specified by the EDGAR Filer Manual available on the SEC's Web site. This list of tags contains not only financial statement items but also items that provide contextual information needed for software to recognize and process interactive data, including:
Data tags are applied to financial statements by using commercially available software that guides a preparer to tag information in the financial statements with the appropriate tags in the standard list. The software must use the appropriate standard list of tags as specified by the then current version of the EDGAR Filer Manual in order to submit the tagged information to the SEC. Each element in the standard list of tags has a standard label. A company can therefore match the standard labels to each caption in its financial statements.
Occasionally, because companies have considerable flexibility in how financial information is reported, it is possible that a company may wish to use a non-standard financial statement line item that is not included in the standard list of tags. In this situation, a company will create a company-specific element, called an "extension." For example, what a company identifies in its traditional format financial statements as "operating revenues" may be associated with an element that has "net revenues" as the standard label. In this situation, a company will need to change, or extend, the standard label to become "operating revenues" when it tags that disclosure with the element.
A company may choose to tag its own financial statements using commercially available software, or it may choose instead to outsource the tagging process. Software also is able to process interactive data so as to automate and, as a result, facilitate access to and analysis of tagged data.
Because financial statements in interactive data format are intended to be processed by software applications, the unprocessed data are not readable by humans. Thus, viewers are necessary to convert or "render" the interactive data into human readable format. Some viewers are similar to Web browsers used to read HTML files. The SEC's Web site will enable users to view interactive data in human readable format.
Financial Statements to Which Requirements Apply
The requirements apply to a filing company's financial statements in its:
Due Dates/Grace Periods
Interactive data exhibits are required to be submitted to the Commission at the same time, and posted on the company's Web site, if any, on the same calendar day, as the related traditional format filing except that:
Web Posting
A company required to provide financial statements in interactive data format to the Commission also will be required to post those financial statements in interactive data format on its corporate Web site not later than the end of the calendar day it filed or was required to file the related report or registration statement with the Commission, whichever is earlier, unless a grace period is available. The company must keep the interactive data posted for at least 12 months and cannot comply with the posting requirement by including a hyperlink to the SEC's Web site.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Companies that do not submit or post required interactive data on the date required will be deemed not current with their Exchange Act reports and, as a result, will not be eligible to use the short Form S-3, F-3, or S-8, or elect under Form S-4 or F-4 to provide information at a level prescribed by Form S-3 or F-3. Similarly, these companies will not be deemed to have available adequate current public information for purposes of the resale exemption safe harbor provided by Rule 144.
A company that is deemed not current solely as a result of not submitting or posting an interactive data exhibit when required will be deemed current upon submitting or posting the interactive data. As a result, it will not lose its status as having "timely" filed its Exchange Act reports solely as a result of the delay in submitting or posting interactive data.
Hardship Exemptions
Consistent with the treatment of other electronic reporting obligations, companies can obtain temporary or longer term hardship exemptions under appropriate circumstances. Rule 201 of Regulation S-T will provide a temporary hardship exemption from submitting or posting interactive data without staff or Commission action, when a company experiences unanticipated technical difficulties that prevent timely submission or posting of interactive data. The temporary hardship exemption will cause the company to be deemed current for purposes of incorporation by reference, short form registration, and Rule 144 for a period of up to six business days from the date the interactive data were required to be submitted and posted if the company otherwise is current.
Rule 202 of Regulation S-T will permit a company to apply in writing for a continuing hardship exemption if interactive data otherwise required to be submitted and posted cannot be submitted or posted without undue burden or expense. It is expected that these requests would be granted infrequently. If the Commission or the staff, through authority delegated by the Commission, grants the request, the company will be deemed current until the end of the period for which the exemption is granted if the company otherwise is current.
Modified Liability
Interactive data generally will be subject to federal securities law liability in a modified manner if the company submits the interactive data within 24 months of the time the company first is required to submit interactive data, but no later than October 31, 2014. See Rule 406T of Regulation S-T. During the time a company's interactive data are treated in this modified manner, they will be:
Third-Party Involvement
Companies are not required to obtain assurance on their interactive data or involve third parties, such as auditors or consultants, in the creation of their interactive data filings.
Certification Requirements
Interactive data will be excluded from the officer certification requirements under Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act.

Thanks for the write-up and especially the photos. I followed your instructions, and started out with the Dremel. The Dremel took about 20 minutes to cut one side of the square. Next I switched to a grinder with a cutting wheel. Much quicker - about thirty seconds per side. I was VERY careful not to cut too deep. I had a fire extinguisher handy because sparks were flying everywhere. Great deal of good the extinguisher would have done had anything gone wrong - probably I would not have had time to use it. I'm not a safety expert, so I don't know how safe this whole thing was. Sparks flying next to a fuel tank.
I knocked the lock-ring loose with a flat-head screw-driver and a rubber mallet. I don't think it matters much what you hit it with.
The pump assembly in my 2000 Focus SOHC SPI is held down with four flat tabs in the base - rotating the assembly engages the tabs into the bottom of the tank. It's different from any of the pump assemblies that were available at my local parts stores or anywhere online.
To remove the pump assembly, I had to firmly grab it and rotate it counterclockwise. This disengaged the tabs from the bottom of the tank, allowing the pump assembly to be lifted right out.
The assembly itself can be disassembled to access the pump. The assembly is held together by four push-in tabs near the top. Popping them open gives access to the pump inside the assembly.
Neither of the two strainers that came with the new pump would fit inside the assembly. But I was able to pop the old strainer off the old pump with a small flat-head screw-driver. Then I pressed the old strainer onto the new pump.
To put the plate that I cut back in place, I bolted some plumbing strap material across the plate and onto either side with 12x1/2 sheet-metal bolts. I drilled pilot holes with a 1/8 titanium bit.
PS. Another interesting note. Before disconnecting the fuel line from the top of the pump assembly, I disconnected the pump's electrical harness on top then started the engine to de-pressurize the fuel lines. I thought the engine would die after a few seconds. Five minutes later, with no power to the pump, the engine was still running! Go figure.

Shares in small Australian production house and distributor Beyond International have tumbled to a one-year low after tipping its annual profit would dive up to 20 per cent. In early trade, its shares fell 11.35 per cent to $1.25.
The revised guidance suggests Beyond, the company behind programs such as MythBusters and Selling Houses Australia, will post a net profit of $7.4 million in the year ending June 30.
But a recovery of sorts is expected in financial 2015 with profit tipped to rise 5 to 10 in the next fiscal year.
"The Beyond balance sheet remains strong and debt free. Directors expect dividends to remain at current levels," the company said.
Sydney-based Beyond International produces programs for Australian, US and international broadcasters and has production offices in Sydney, Queensland and San Francisco. It calls itself one of the largest independent distributors of home entertainment products – DVD distribution – and has a digital marketing business.
In early trade, its shares fell 11.35 per cent to $1.25. The fall took its year-to-date decline to 32 per cent and market capitalisation to just $76.7 million. But shares remain strong over a five-year period, peaking in October 2013 at $2.07.
The Sydney-based company told the ASX on Monday: "As a result of changes to the production cycle of MythBusters, the deferral of projects expected to commence in June, the non-renewal of projects that occurred in 2013-14 and a number of one-off restructuring costs, Beyond expects net profit after tax for 2014-15 to be approximately 15 to 20 per cent below that achieved in 2013-14."
MythBusters program investigates urban myths using an experimental approach that often involves the spectacular destruction of custom-engineered experimental gear and vehicles built using Hollywood techniques. It is syndicated worldwide through the Discovery Channel and screens on local free-to-air channels SBS One and 7mate.
"Previous seasons of MythBusters have typically had a production cycle of 30 episodes produced across 18 months. The latest season, currently in production, has changed to 13 episodes across 12 months," Beyond said in its statement.
In its first-half report, the company said "the number of programmes in production at any point in time is very much subject to the international commissioning process, and while the demand for programming remains stable, the timing of commissions is outside the company's control."
It also said that: "Product focus continues to be factual series, documentaries, family and children's programs as there is a steady demand for these genres from niche broadcasters throughout th world. With the proliferation of media platforms – both over the air, cable and on the web – channels are becoming increasingly focused on specific audience demographics."
The downgrade comes amid a
The report suggests ABC could save $70 million by outsourcing television production to the private sector.

"The big issue is the government addressing piracy, because if the product is given away, it won't exist," he said.
He added that the home entertainment sector – DVD sales, broadcasts on free-to-air of Foxtel, and digital downloads – underpins production. "In this country with 23 million people, it's hard enough to get films up," he said.

Learning to manage diabetes was the theme of the third annual Qatar Diabetes Association (QDA) Al Tahadi Camp, which was held from 6 to 11 October 2012.
Organized by the Qatar Foundation (QF) member, the residential camp, for 30 boys aged 12 to 16 with Type 1 diabetes, emphasized the importance of regular blood-sugar monitoring and managing the condition by leading a healthy lifestyle.
For the first time in the camp's history, teenagers from the UAE and Kuwait joined local QDA patients. Participants took part in workshops on diabetes and nutrition. There were also three daily sport sessions, including activities such as football, swimming, martial arts, and bowling.
Mohammed Khalid Al Saadi, Challenge Youth Camp Manager and Ambassador About Diabetic People in Qatar, said: "The boys are in their teenage years and so are of an age when they are able to take responsibility for their diabetes. They are probably going out, socializing and spending time with friends, and so they need to know what to carry with them to monitor their diabetes, for example.
"It's important for Type 1 diabetes patients to check their blood sugar levels regularly. By monitoring, they can prevent complications. For example, if their blood sugar is low, they can take carbohydrates to stabilize levels before they suffer the full effects of hypoglycemia. "We ensure that the teenagers are using the correct technique while testing. Often they need to learn how regularly they need to check, as everyone is different. The boys test every two hours, up to midnight, on the camp to try to establish an understanding of their diabetes and perhaps when they are likely to have high or low blood sugar so that they can alter their behavior accordingly.
"We also advise them on the type of insulin they are using, and may suggest alternative methods of administration." Eating the right food at the correct time is essential in the management of diabetes.
QDA nutritionist Ayah Hassan said: "We educate the boys about eating healthily. They are taught about what they can enjoy and when, and the consequences of eating the wrong types of food, so that they make the best choices.
"For example, they often don't know that drinking fruit juice is the fastest way to increase blood-sugar levels. Being a liquid, it is quickly absorbed into the body. Managing diabetes is all about avoiding the highs and lows in blood-sugar levels, and so we run a challenge within the camp, awarding the participant who manages to keep their sugar levels the most stable throughout."
Daily swimming sessions were hosted at Awsaj Recreation Center for the Al Tahadi participants, while the boys also enjoyed bowling at the Hamad bin Khalifa University Student Center. "Sport is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle and can be used in diabetes management," trainer Ahmad Ali Mustafa said. "The boys need to learn what they can do. After checking their blood sugar, to ensure that it is stable, they can take part in both aerobic and strength training. How much training is determined by their own individual condition, but this can be between 30 minutes and one hour. We also remind them to monitor their sugar level afterwards, too."
Other activities helped develop a sense of camaraderie among the participants. Al Saadi said: "They definitely learn a lot from each other. Whether this is the regularity of blood-sugar monitoring or the different types of insulin each boy is using. The camp has a serious educational message but it's also a chance for them to get to know fellow diabetes patients and share their experiences."
Camp participant Hassan Khalil said: "We've learned how to monitor our blood sugar before and after sports like football and swimming. It's been good fun, as I enjoy swimming. I'd like to do more of it when I can."
All QDA staff were involved with the camp, whether attending or as office support. Al Saadi added: "We are also grateful to our five volunteers who have helped on the camp. They are invaluable in supporting QDA's medical and nutritional staff."

Vidosic fights for Cup spot as cut looms
JOHANNESBURG: A week after scoring his first goal for the national team, Dario Vidosic is fighting to save his World Cup dream.
Vidosic and another youngster, defender Shane Lowry, are looming as the most likely casualties as coach Pim Verbeek prepares to swing the axe for the last time and cull his squad to the final list of 23.
But all may not be lost for Vidosic, whose intensity at training has been impressive. Verbeek can change his squad for medical reasons right up until the day before the tournament opener against Germany on June 13, and with both Harry Kewell and Mark Bresciano still not fully fit, he might yet get a last-minute reprieve.
Kewell and Brett Emerton were yesterday ruled out of the friendly against Denmark on Tuesday, but Verbeek remains confident they are well on track for World Cup action. Verbeek admitted neither of the injured duo would be ready for the match in Roodepoort. Both were unable to train fully with their teammates on Saturday - Emerton a virtual spectator during another tough session as he nurses a calf niggle.
Kewell's groin was being worked on by medical staff, though he joined in training during the two sessions on Friday. Verbeek says both will be in the frame to play in the final pre-World Cup friendly against the United States on June 5.
Eagle-eyed observers would have noticed Verbeek's whiteboard in the background of last week's media conference in Melbourne to announce Nicky Carle, Jade North and Scott McDonald wouldn't be going to South Africa.
On it, he had bracketed one shadow player for each position in the team.
That is, except in the case of Vidosic and Lowry, who were both put in a group of three players for one spot.
Vidosic was third in line behind Tim Cahill and Brett Holman, while Lowry was bracketed with Lucas Neill and Michael Beauchamp.
Vidosic can also play wide on the right, where he faces competition from Richard Garcia for the role as understudy to Emerton.
While Lowry wasn't given a chance to advance his claims in the farewell match against New Zealand, Vidosic was handed an opportunity. In his first start for his country, the 23-year-old Nuremberg player also scored his first goal.
But despite that contribution, he seems certain to lose out to the more experienced Garcia and/or Holman. Even if that's the case, he intends to fight for his cause right until the end.
''As a footballer, to go to the World Cup is a dream come true and everyone's fighting for it,'' he said.
''But we're a very strong team, and everyone's helping everyone. No one is just looking after themselves. It's a team effort, and that's what's going to help us achieve our goals. At the end of the day, it's all about what you've done. If I can look back and know I did everything I could, then I suppose I've got to be happy. Pim knows who to take, and who the best 23 are.
''He's been around football a long time, he knows what's best for Australia and what's best for the team.''

Redbook average feels impact of WTC disaster
September 24, 2001,
New York — With anxious consumers sitting out much of the week, glued to the tube and watching news reports, same-store retail sales nose-dived during the second week of September, aborting a rebound begun weeks before with the first wave of rebate checks.
Same-store sales fell off by 3.5 percent, according to the widely watched Redbook Average, hitting the wall after a sturdy 1.7 percent increase recorded during the first week of September.
Sales in the big discount channel held relatively steady, though, advancing by 3.7 percent, as many consumers flocked to the malls to buy groceries, flags and television sets, said Redbook analyst Catlin Levis.
Through the first two weeks of the month, same-store sales slipped by 0.9 percent, Redbook reported, falling well short of a targeted gain of 2.3 percent. It was the first time in almost two months that sales failed to meet their target, suspending a brief turnaround in retail sales spurred by rebate checks and the Back-to-School season.
"The pace of sales growth continued to run below expectations," said Levis. "Most retailers were impacted by Tuesday's tragic events and closed on that day. Even after stores reopened, some merchants experienced increasing customer traffic while buying was down."
Making matters worse, said Levis, "tropical storm Gabrielle slashed and swamped northern and central Florida, leaving 570,000 homes and businesses in the dark. To a lesser extent, some stores last week may have been negatively affected by mismatched comparisons with last year's Labor Day." The declining trajectory in retail sales raised concerns, Levis noted, about the outlook for the rest of September.
When consumers were buying, she said, "People were stocking up on emergency items such as candles, flashlights, fuel, bottled water and personal care products. Leading merchandise categories for the week were groceries, flags, home furnishings and televisions."
Discounters, Levis noted, "continued to suffer less than stores dependent on discretionary spending. As a result of the month's performance to date, retailers may have difficulty meting their targets. Regionally, business continued to be strongest in the Northeast and Midwest, while the West Coast was the weakest performer. Many retailers hope that consumer spending will bounce back as the holiday shopping season draws nearer."
Taking it on the chin with the rest of American retailing, Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, said on a weekly conference call that sales for the week ran modestly below company projections. "Sales started the week at levels similar to August but were impacted by Tuesday's tragic events." Customer traffic peaked early on Tuesday shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as antsy consumers loaded up on essentials like bottled water, food and gasoline cans. But later in the day, traffic fell off sharply as fixated Americans remained glued to the TV and news reports of the disaster.
American flags were flying off the shelves, and Wal-Mart said it sold about 116,000 on Tuesday, up 18-fold from the same day the year before. And the next day, Wednesday, more than 200,000 flags were sold.
Sales over the weekend, Wal-Mart reported, returned to more normal levels.
Federated Department Stores said sales for the week ended Sept. 15 fell about $65 million beneath company forecasts due to the terrorist attacks and their impact.
And Sears, Roebuck and Co. said same-store sales in its department stores dropped about 50 percent the day of the attacks. Especially hard hit were stores in New York and New Jersey.
