text:
A minimum of two years academic residence is required. However, in most cases the fulfillment of all requirements for the degree will involve at least one additional year of coursework. The committee members will arrange particular programs for each student.
Introductory Courses
All first-year students in this program should take an introductory course in at least one of the following fields given by members of the committee.
1. History of Inner Asia
2. Archaeology and Art of Inner Asia
3. Inner Asian Philology (comparative and historical Turkic, Mongolian, Manchu, Tibetan, Tungus, Khotanese Saka, Sogdian, Tokharian, Gandhari [Niya] Prakrit, etc.)
Language Requirement
Upon enrolling in graduate school the candidate should offer proof of competence in at least one foreign "tool" language (this will be done by way of examination in the first term of study), and sometime during the first two years of residence, he or she should also demonstrate competence by way of examination in a second "tool" language, selected from among those especially pertinent to the student's topic of specialization. "Tool" languages, such as French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, etc., are to be distinguished from "source" languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian, Persian, Tibetan, Turkic, and Sanskrit; in particular cases, where one of the latter is not a "source" language it may be considered a "tool" language. Students are expected to be competent in the language(s) of their primary focus, and will be required to take written examinations in their "source" language or languages, both with and without the aid of a dictionary.
Incomplete Grades
A grade of Incomplete (INC) must be converted into a letter grade before the beginning of the next registration period or it will become permanent, unless the student has successfully petitioned the GSAS Dean's office for an extension. No grade of Incomplete can be used to satisfy any departmental requirement.
On entering the IAAS program, students are assigned an academic advisor from among the members of the IAAS Committee, with whom they should meet to design an appropriate program of study; students should also consult with the committee chair to discuss their study plan. The faculty advisor, chair, and program administrator should be consulted in making arrangements for the general examination, and an appropriate advisor or advisors will also be assigned for the PhD dissertation. Students may petition the committee for changes in the advisor assignment, where appropriate. Advising is a critically important aspect of the IAAS program, and the committee is committed to finding appropriate advising arrangements for all students.
General Examinations
Normally at the end of the second year of residence or in the third year of residence, the candidate will write a general examination in three fields approved in advance by the committee. One of these fields should cover the history or culture of a major society outside of Inner Asia (e.g., Western Europe, Russia, Islamic Middle East, East Asia, South Asia, or the Americas). The other two will be focused on:
1. Pre-Islamic History of Inner Asia
2. Medieval and Early Modern History of Inner Asia
3. Modern History of Inner Asia
4. Philology and Religion of Pre-Islamic Inner Asia
5. Philology and Religion of Medieval and Early Modern Inner Asia
6. Altaic or Tungusic Linguistics
7. Archaeology and Art of Inner Asia
8. Ethnology and Anthropology of Inner Asia
There will be a 3-hour written examination in each of the three specified fields, plus one 3-hour oral examination in Inner Asian studies, broadly defined. In some cases, students may with the approval of the committee choose to take an additional fourth general examination field.
The doctoral dissertation must demonstrate the candidate's ability to use primary source material and to produce a piece of original research. After the acceptance of the dissertation, the candidate must defend his or her dissertation in a special oral examination. The final manuscript must conform to the requirements described in The Form of the PhD Dissertation.

News: 101-year-old patient celebrated
When Dr. Rex Nzeribe looked at his schedule August 16, the name of Merrill Douglass grabbed his attention. A few weeks prior, Douglass celebrated his birthday as he turned 101. Dr. Nzeribe wanted to make sure he recognized the special day. Along with his office staff, the Centegra Physician Care doctor displayed a sign that read "Happy Birthday" and gave Douglass a donut as a special birthday treat.
The doctor-patient relationship is important in any case, but Dr. Nzeribe considers his relationship with Douglass extra-special. The Woodstock resident is his oldest patient and one of the most active at his age.Douglass has been Dr. Nzeribe's patient since early 2010 and has regular check-ups every three to six months."The routine check-ups are a way to keep him healthy in order to avoid any unnecessary emergencies," said Dr. Nzeribe. Dr. Nzeribe added, "Taking care of the elderly is a team effort. In order to know the patients, it is important to know the family members. Better understanding ultimately leads to better treatment."
Douglass has been a patient of Centegra Health System since 2005 when a pacemaker was planted in his heart. His daughter Janet has been accompanying him for the majority of medical visits to Centegra."We really like how Centegra is close to home," said Janet. "Even if Merrill does like to travel!" Age is just a number for the grandfather of 35 grandchildren. That is evident by a trip to the Grand Canyon with family members in May, regular trips to Chicago and recent visits to the Illinois State Fair in Springfield and the McHenry County Fair in Woodstock."I'm good," Douglass simply stated. "I just take one day at a time."

HOUSTON (Nov. 5, 2004) -- With the help of a tiny roundworm, microbiologist Danielle Garsin searches for weak spots in a tenacious bacterium that thwarts antibiotic attack while threatening hospital patients. Her research, which has uncovered a tantalizing potential connection between longevity and resistance to infection, earned Garsin one of only 12 grants awarded in 2004 under the Ellison Foundation New Scholars Program in Global Infectious Diseases.
The assistant professor in the Medical School Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics will receive $50,000 a year for four years to continue her work on Enterococcus faecalis and the roundworm C. elegans.
"E. faecalis is the second or third most common cause of infections that patients contract in hospitals," Garsin said. "It causes bacteremia (blood infection), urinary tract infections and endocarditis (heart infection) and many strains carry resistance to antibiotics."
The bacterium employs several methods for sharing DNA, which is how it acquires and spreads traits such as antibiotic resistance. Recently, cases of enterococci spreading vancomycin resistance to other bacteria have been documented. As vancomycin is one of the last antibiotics available to treat infections resistant to everything else, this is of great concern.
By feeding E. facaelis to C. elegans, Garsin works to characterize disease-causing factors in the bacterium and understand genetic pathways of the worm's innate immune system, which are also found in higher animals. "What we find out about these pathways in C. elegans could apply to innate immunity in humans," Garsin said.
The bacterium appears to use some of the same virulence factors to cause disease in the millimeter-long worm as it does in mammals. Strains that don't kill the worms in Garsin's experiments will be tested in mice. Identification of genetic differences between the virulent and weaker strains could provide avenues for drug discovery.
In a paper in the journal Science last year, Garsin and colleagues showed that a genetic variation in the worm that had been associated with a longer lifespan also confers resistance to E. faecalis and other disease-causing bacteria.
Worms with the genetic mutation enjoyed a five-fold increase in survival over those lacking the variation when both types were infected with E. faecalis.
The heightened resistance to pathogens contributes to the greater longevity of the mutant worms. A similar genetic variation already has been shown to extend the lifespan of mice.
A connection between longevity and resistance to infection makes sense. "As people get older, they generally are more susceptible to infection," Garsin said. "This is one genetic pathway that you might someday be able to target and achieve pathogen resistance and a longer, healthier life."
The Ellison award is recognition of Garsin's ability to look at longstanding problems in new ways, said Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Department Chairman Sam Kaplan, Ph.D. "Not only is the worm model simple in concept but it is strikingly simple in experimental approach. Dr. Garsin has recognized those features and is but one of a handful or researchers in a field that is likely to take off dramatically within the next few years," Kaplan said.
Garsin, who also is on the faculty of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, joined the Medical School faculty in December after her post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. One tie to the Medical School predates her arrival. Garsin noted she has collaborated with "one of the leaders in the field of antibiotic-resistant bacteria," Barbara Murray, M.D., chief of the school's Division of Infectious Diseases.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: Ocean10000 & incrediBILL & phranque
I'm trying to control the caching of my web content by adding the ExpiresActive directive to the .htaccess file in the /public_html directory of my site.
I put the following lines (straight from the Apache manual) into the .htaccess file but get the dreaded Internal Server Error.
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType text/html M604800
In fact, just placing the line 'ExpireActive On' into .htaccess results in an error.
Here's the the error log entry:
[Sat Jul 26 16:09:57 2003] [alert] [client 188.8.131.52] /home/dondle/public_html/.htaccess: Invalid command 'ExpiresActive', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
My host provider, running Apache 1.3, says that the mod_expires and mod_headers modules are installed into httpd and says he doesn't know what the problem might be since he is not familiar with the mod_expires directives. Are there any other possible causes?
do you have a ExpiresDefault directive defined?
also, is the server owner absolutely sure that mod_expires is loading? the errormessage in the log indicates that the module is not loading since it is obvious that you haven't misspelled it...
Thanks for getting back.
What can I tell the web host to look for to verify that it's loading? He says they recompiled the modules into the http daemon for me and that everything looks good from their end.
How would I be sure taht the 'ExpiresDefault' directive is defined?
Unfortunately, I've only briefly run Apache on an old Debian Linux box I had. I really don't know much about administering it. The web host will give me jail shell access. Maybe I could use that to look at the appropriate .conf files...if I knew what they were. :(
httpd -l (that's an ell not a one)
is the one... just found it on the apache.org site...
otherwise, it should be listed in the httpd.conf file as a lodable module instead of being compiled in... generally the syntax is
LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so
(the above is for a *nix shared object version of the module)
if they do have the module compiled into the server, it still may not be active... that would be done like this...
AddModule mod_expires.c
in the conf file...
the expiresdefault directive can be set in your .htaccess file...
generally the conf file is /etc/httpd.conf on most *nix systems... but it can be anywhere and called anything because another of those command line parameters sets the config file to use 8)
in any case, until you can get it to stop telling you that the word is undefined, your task is to get the module loaded and active...
you may find additional info over at [httpd.apache.org ]... its where i was looking to verify some of the info above...
Although it's possible to control expiration headers with server-side scripting, the overhead and the trouble make it really not worth it.

Recently, Shahrukh Khan promoted Jab Tak Hai Jaan, with his leading ladies Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, in a press meet. Shahrukh Khan said, Daniel feels that I cannot play James Bond. He might be right. Presently, Im just trying to adapt to Bonds walking style, the poise with which he holds the gun and also how James Bond makes women go weak in the knees with his dashing personality. It would be interesting to play James Bond. But I just wonder how it would feel when I say, 'My name is Khan, James Khan. Sorry for the bad joke, but somehow I feel Im not rugged, tall and handsome enough to play James Bond. Lets see what the future holds for me. So, do you think Shahrukh Khan has what it takes to play James Bond on screen?

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I did me a bit of a 10k at the weekend, mixed terrain so a bit muddy, but I was a bit confused after I finished when I noticed a neat line of mud up the inside of each leg up to just below the top of my calf. I didn't fall, it wasn't particularly splashy mud and everyone else looked a lot cleaner, so I struggled to work out where it came from.
Having looked at the pictures afterwards I think it must be the way I'm running, my toes seem to be pointing outwards more than other peoples seem to be and I'm guessing the back of my heel must be occasionally hitting the opposite calf, not enough for me to notice but enough to spread a bit of mud about.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? If this is due to the way I'm running, is it something I ought to correct, if its likely to be making me more prone to injury or slowing me down? Or is it something aesthetic I can just ignore?
Perhaps the others jumped over or navigated around the puddles? I can't see an issue here.
If you're concerned about injury wrt the positioning of your feet, do plenty of calf stretches with your rear foot facing forward, or as forward as you can.
Possibly weak glute muscles;
Thanks for the link, I'll look into that. I'd be surprised if it was glutes, they get plenty of regular exercise at the gym, but maybe I need to try some different exercises. The pictures in that article definitely looked like they'd kicked their other leg too, mine looked more like a vertical scrape.
As for puddles, it wasn't puddle-y mud, more sticky mud. I'm not concerned about injury as such, more just curious. I can find plenty of stuff about foot position with regards to where you strike or pronation, but not much about the actual angle between the direction you're running and the direction your feet point when they hit the ground.
Its probably nothing worth worrying about, just made me a bit curious.

Southern-Style Pan-Fried Catfish
Emeril prepared this catfish recipe from his new book, "Emeril 20-40-60," as part of a live cooking challenge on "The Martha Stewart Show." He also made Simple Turkey Meatloaf and Chicken Cordon Bleu.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, November 2009
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence or Creole Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Louisiana hot sauce or other red hot sauce
- 4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless catfish fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- Emeril's Kicked-Up Tartar Sauce, for serving (optional)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Whisk together buttermilk, mustard, Essence, garlic, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Place fillets in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them in an even layer. Pour buttermilk mixture over fish, making sure each fillet is evenly coated; set aside.
In another shallow baking dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal, and salt.
Working with 1 piece of fish at a time, remove from buttermilk mixture, shaking off any excess, and dredge in flour mixture to coat. Transfer to a plate and repeat process with remaining fillets.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully add two fillets to skillet. Cook, until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until golden brown and crisp on the second side, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Using a fish spatula, transfer fillets to a paper towel-lined plate; repeat process with remaining 2 fillets. Serve immediately with tartar sauce, if desired, and lemon wedges.

Carb vs EFI
I was just curious to know what you guys prefer...carb or EFI
The reason I ask is that hopefully this summer i'll be starting to build up a third generation Camaro, and I could go either way. I could go TPI, maybe if i could find a good deal on eBay, a SuperRam or StealthRam intake for it, dont really wanna do an LT-1 swap.....or I could go carb. I assume that EFI will give me better MPG, but if its only 1 or 2 MPG more, if EFI's gonna be slower than a carb then i'd say screw EFI.
I hope to be somewhere in the 400-500HP range, possibly supercharged (in which case it would be carb'd) eventually, what do you all suggest? Thanks
Well, if you have the money and are interested in doing the research, I would suggest an EFI turbo motor. TurboS10 has had really good results with this, I would talk to him about it. Fuel injection is definitely going to be the future of hotrodding, and the superior fuel distribution capabilities of efi are much better suited for super and turbo charging than a carburetor. The simplicity of a carburetion system is what continually makes it the choice for hotrods, but with aftermarket efi systems becoming more readily available and cheaper, you'll be seeing a lot more of them in the future. If I were you though, I would do some research and formulate your own opinions. It's always better to know a little about what your getting into before you make a decision. Just my .02$
If I were you, I would search the knowledge base and previous posts. Lots of info there.

Hello Chris,
I was faced with a similar decision this last summer. I have a 1953 GMC and was ready to drop a crate engine in it. I had my heart set on a Ram Jet 350, until I discovered that it needs a minimum of 90 octane fuel to run well.
My truck is an every day driver and I drive a lot. If it was only a weekend warrior, I would have gone with fuel injection. I ended up going with a HO 350 with a carb.
I believe that for 99% of driving demand, EFI is better. For pure power in the 1/4 mile, I still think that carbs have a little edge if they are properly tuned but the gap is quickly closing.
I was in Alaska last summer and at a Shell station I noticed that they were offering 85, 87, and their premium was 89 octane. I don't know if this is a glance of what is headed our way, but it got me thinking.
EFI offers better cold running and better fuel economy and I think it looks cool. Carbs have been around forever and require some input from your brain to get them properly tuned.
Tough choice. Good luck.
After just finishing my first EFI build up I can honestly say that it is superior to carb in my opinion. While some of the off the shelf systems that make EFI bolt on like a carb may not make as much power, a custom tunable EFI will make just as much if not more power and will always get better mileage than a carb. If you go with a "real" EFI controller that is 100 percent tunable, you will be in for a long hard learning curve. I have just about gotten over the hump and am starting to get really confident in EFI. I will not build another carbed engine for myself I dont think. Being able to tune from a laptop while driving down the road is just as good as it gets. Of course there is alot more tuning to do and you stand alot more chance of engine damage while tuning since the EFI will not cover for driver ignorance like a carb will.
Enough rambling. My vote is EFI
OK so EFI is more fuel efficent than carb, its possible to make more power with EFI (with the right tuning), but carb is less expensive, easier to tune, and easier to hook up, correct?
Now for EFI, would something like a TPI setup be OK or should I go with an aftermarket setup? For a smallblock chevy, what ones are there and how much should i expect to spend on one? Are EFI setups something that you could buy off eBay for a good price, clean it up and then not worry about it? Are they rebuildiable like carbs? Thanks
stay away from OEM TPI and TBI, they are great for OEM engines but a biach to modify. id say to modify your existing intake for injectors and bolting on a holley style throttlebody was about the same money as a good tpi setup and alot less hastle. for the controller id go with a megasquirt or simmilar they are cheap as dirt and are supposed to work great and are easy to tune
a cheap throttlebody could also be an old "electrified quqadrajunk" you know the SMOG ones with a TPS on the side and some pollution limmiting black box wired to it.. if you removed everything but the center housing and the buttreflies youd have a 20$ efi throttlebody so it doesnt have to cost a fortune.. infact i think that you could complete a setup from used parts for about the same price as a good carb shop holley.
and anyine whove ever tried driving a retrofitted efi on a warmed over v8 will swear to the throttlerespons and mid range pull. i think top end power is about the same, but the area under the torque curve is NOT
The OEM TPI setups are not great, but on a budget they will work. I would suggest getting a tunable controller if you decide to go that way. I am using a controller that branched from Megasquirt in quest of more power and options. It works great, but it is alot of work and you will have alot to learn. Depends on whether you want to spend time or money.....
The EFI adaptation to carb type intake is also cheaper and better than the TPI, but is also alot of work. You can pick up an edlebrock pro flo system on ebay for between $1000-1200 dallars. It will have everything you need and you can upgrade the ECU if you want to really be able to tune it. That is what I did.

text: Rattles? Don't think i have noticed any in my '06 and it has 90k miles. Either that, or rattles exist in my subie and i can't notice it because my vette is the definition of interior rattles. By the time it is at 75 mph, every trim piece in that car rattles so loud, it scares my passengers, thinking the car is coming apart (but thats just typical 80's/90's chevy engineering).

MineFactory Reloaded is a mod created by PowerCrystals, which is currently being maintained by skyboy026. This mod adds numerous machines into the game as well as some new items, a new type of Rubber Tree, and the Precision Sledgehammer (a new type of tool for manipulating blocks similar to the Wrench and other miscellaneous things). All machines in this mod can be powered by MJ or EU up to 128 EU/p (MV). RF support has been added in the mod version for MC 1.6.4. The conversion rate appears to be 2.5 EU = 1 MJ.
When looking at the interface for machines in this mod, there are three bars to the right. The first one, with the red lightning bolt, shows excess power contained in the machine. Maxing this out won't damage the machine. The second bar, with the green up arrow, shows the progress towards the machine's work. The third bar, with the blue ZZ symbol, is a sleep timer. If the machine is powered, but has nothing to do, it will sleep for a while to conserve server resources.

The first box I received totaled $20 in value. It consisted of a cheap porcelain plate, a cheap plain glass shot glass, a $10 cocktail mixer, and random junk. They accept returns so I requested one. They state a time limit on returns, but they never email you the return label in the business day that they promise--it's always late. I sent it back as soon as I received the label, and never received a refund.
The next box was the same quality and process for returns. So was the next. The last box was worth just a little more since it included some men's skin/hair care product samples and a 12Society hoodie. Now, the hoodie was the thinnest hoodie I've ever seen, and they made the mistake of cutting through the hoodie in the back where to tag was, apparently to hide who actually manufactured it. So, I have a hoodie with a hole in it.
I emailed to request they cancel my subscription and never received a reply. I emailed about me refunds, and never a reply. I filed a report with the Better Business Bureau and my state's Attorney General, and this company never responded to either after multiple attempts.
They're happy to take your money without giving anything in return. Next, I'm looking into options for small-claims court out of state, and also I'm trying to contact Blake Griffin's agent, team, and every one of his sponsors--his picture and name are all over this company.
Avoid them--it's a scam.

Kim and Kris are about to battle it out in divorce court and Kris is reportedly planning on revealing that Kim used to say horrible things about her fans. Read on to find out what she allegedly said!
Kim Kardashian might have a closet full of dirty little secrets. A shocking new report in Star claims that Kim's soon-to-be ex-husband Kris Humphries is planning on blowing the lid on Kim's secret life. Kris also wants to tell the world that she makes fun of the fans she lovingly calls her "dolls."
"Kris has text and voicemails from Kim," the source says. "Where she calls her audience 'gullible,' 'stupid imbeciles,' 'boring little nobodies' and 'pathetic people with no lives of their own.'"
The insider claims that Kris wants to play these recordings in court and also reveal Kim's obsession with plastic surgery!
"Kim's gotten liposuction, three nose jobs, a boob job and work done on her butt," the source claims. "She can't stop with the plastic surgery and I don't think she ever will."
We told you that Kris' depositions start this week in Minnesota and shortly thereafter Kim will be called to testify.

Growing blaze nears Ketchum, Sun Valley
Sat., Aug. 17, 2013, midnight
More than 1,000 homes evacuated
BOISE – A wildfire threatening the resort cities of Sun Valley and Ketchum has become the nation's top-priority wildfire, U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell announced in Boise on Friday.
As of late afternoon, more than 1,000 homes had been evacuated in the Sun Valley-Ketchum area, and more than 3,500 residents had received pre-evacuation notices in an area that included all of both cities.
Tidwell and Idaho Gov. Butch Otter visited the fire lines Friday morning and spoke with reporters at the National Interagency Fire Center in the afternoon.
Asked if the fire could come into the storied resort towns of Sun Valley and Ketchum, Tidwell said, "At this time, there's a chance, and that's why they've done the pre-evacuation notices."
Sun Valley ski resort officials turned on their snowmaking cannons to help wet down dry hillsides as the flames approached.
Otter said among those receiving pre-evacuation orders was state Sen. Michelle Stennett, D-Ketchum, who accompanied him on the tour of the fires.
"Please carry the message back," Otter told reporters. "If you're asked to leave, please get out."
Added Tidwell, "We're not going to ask anybody to leave unless there is a real threat."
In addition to the pre-evacuation notices, the Blaine County Sheriff's Office advised residents in mandatory evacuation areas shortly before noon Friday to "GO NOW." Heavy traffic was reported on Highway 75 through the Wood River Valley. Mandatory evacuations had spread into the city of Hailey by late afternoon.
The Beaver Creek fire is among several burning in central Idaho right now that have exhibited wildfire behavior that Tidwell said is the "new normal."
Last year's massive Trinity Ridge fire in the same region took six weeks to burn between 125,000 and 130,000 acres; Tidwell said the nearby Elk Complex fire burned close to 115,000 acres in six days.
"It's just what we're seeing everywhere," he said. "Any more, this is becoming the normal type of fire behavior for this time of year." He noted extremely dry conditions as a major contributor.
The Beaver Creek fire, ignited by lightning Aug. 7, was 9 percent contained as of Friday morning and had burned 55,000 acres. More than 600 firefighters are battling the blaze.
"The first take-home for me is what a great job these agencies are doing," Tidwell said, speaking from the Boise center at which all agencies' wildfire responses are coordinated.
Wind gusts of up to 30 mph were reported in the Sun Valley-Ketchum area Friday afternoon, worsening the conditions.


text: KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Improved economic conditions and favorable manufacturing environments in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines have drawn significant investments to the engineering plastics market in Southeast Asia. The market for engineering plastics is expected to develop in tandem with the electrical, electronics as well as automobile sectors, which are expected to grow by more than 10-15 percent from 2012 to 2018. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.chemicals.frost.com), Strategic Analysis of Engineering Plastics Market in Southeast Asia , finds that the market earned revenues of over US$2.07 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach US$4.28 billion by 2018. The higher affluence of consumers in Southeast Asia will have a positive bearing on the domestic adoption of electrical appliances and automobiles in the region, especially of two wheelers in Indonesia. "Several Japanese electronics and office equipment manufacturing companies are setting up bases in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Sushmita Mahajan. "The application of engineering plastics in these growing end-user segments boosts the market's revenue." The popularity of engineering plastics in construction and infrastructure further drives revenue growth. Plastics are replacing metals in many applications, as they often eliminate expensive secondary manufacturing steps, offer a large degree of design freedom, and are relatively easy to process. In addition, research and development will result in advanced plastic grades that can be used in numerous new applications. Improved features such as the ability to sustain high temperatures and humidity for long periods will increase their utility.

We all agree that the problems on our beleaguered planet are escalating – our very climate is changing, society is breaking down, and people's health and well being is suffering. Just what is happening? What has gone so very wrong?
Ayurvedic thinkers generally agree that the planet is becoming increasingly pitta-dominant, as the element becomes stronger in western culture, and western culture, especially capitalism spreads also to the developing world.
"In today's world, pitta is usually the dosha most commonly out of balance because the world has an overabundance of agni at this time. Electromagnetic radiation, acidic food and water, toxins in our environment, and a high-pressure lifestyle, that includes a lack of adequate sleep, all contribute to the increase of pitta in the physiology."
Similarly, the Hopi Native Americans believe that the west was originally given the principle of fire to explore and develop, but this has fast became problematic. This modern day pitta overload equates to their idea of Koyannisqatsi or 'life out of balance'.
Pitta loves the principles of achievement and competition. These are fast becoming the primary guiding principles for everyone these days, to the detriment of human relationships, our health and well being, and our environment. Our ideal person is held up as the ultimate pitta – fiercely intelligent, competitive, powerful and efficient. There is competition for jobs, competition between companies, competition for people to be busier, more important and more wealthy than their neighbours. There is competition for money, land, for oil, for markets, causing widespread wars and civil strife.
Efficiency, another pitta goal, is becoming the be-all-end-all of everything. Even in things where efficiency should not belong – such as in human interactions. The care of our very young children (the kapha life stage) and very old people (the vata stage) is becoming increasingly more commercialised. Underpaid strangers are providing 'care' for large groups of these vulnerable people, so that their families can continue to participate 'efficiently' in the economy. Children and the elderly are missing out on real care and love from their own families. This crass heartless commercialisation is creeping into every facet of our lives.
We are all forced to use pitta substances to survive the pace of this life. Meat, alcohol and coffee play a dominant part in our diets. We drink coffee throughout the week to maintain productivity at work, smoke cigarettes to combat the stress, then down alcohol all weekend to forget our hellishly busy weeks. We kill animals en masse in factory farms for meat to eat every night, making a fetish of animal flesh as a symbol of our power over nature.
It is the dominant principle of pitta that has led us to create atomic energy, computers, the internet, tv, cars, mobile phones. The entire western economy runs off the combustible energy of petrol and oil. We stare at screens, we burn petrol for our cars, oil for our plastic, nuclear energy for our power.
If we even think about the term 'global warming', it is clear there is too much heat in our world, too much pitta. Temperatures are starting to soar when they shouldn't. Ice caps are melting. Typhoons are becoming super-typhoons over warm seas. There is rain and flooding in deserts. Everything is becoming acidified, including our oceans and our own bodies.
So what is the answer?
It is clear that everything is unbalanced by too much pitta. The only remedy for this is to introduce and nurture the principles of vata and kapha in our lives. We need the wisdom and creative thinking of vata back, as well as the loving calmness and reflectivity of kapha. Vata and kapha need a voice again. Vata and kapha people are being fast becoming marginalised from society, or forced to act like pittas. I see it all the time. Their particular strengths need to be acknowledged again. The balance needs to be restored. Things need to cool down and slow down. We all need to relax more, think more, and think of new, better ways to live our lives. Before it is too late.

OverPower is a collectible card game designed by Michael and Theodore Stern and produced by Fleer. It features characters from Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Image Comics.
OverPower is played between 2 players and the decks they have put together. A deck consists of 4 Character cards, 7 Mission cards and at least 51 other cards that will make up their draw pile. Players may elect to include Location cards in their decks as well.
Before the start of the game, both players will decide which 3 characters they want to put on the frontline and which remaining character to be the reserve. Both players draw 8 cards per battle, ventures a number of Mission cards and take turns attacking until their hand is exhausted or one player decides to concede the battle. The winner of the battle completes their Missions and the loser's missions are defeated.
The game continues until one player either completes all of their Missions or if all of their Missions are defeated. The game also ends if one player loses all 4 of their characters.
It's interesting to see new players to a game that faded away in the early 2000's. Unfortunately a lot of our attention is focused on the former players and we just don't have enough resources to allocate to new players just yet.
However, our community is very active on our forums and will gladly answer any questions you may have.
K2 Challenge 2017 will be announced in January!

2010's Leading Law Firm Rainmakers
For a real estate and finance partner like Kathleen Wu, maintaining rainmaker status throughout a challenging economy has been no mean feat. "It's helped that my practice is very varied," she explains. "Prior to the [housing] slump I was doing more origination of loan and real estate development work. Now I've transitioned more into special servicing work and other areas unique to this part of the economic cycle we now find ourselves in. It's important to be flexible not only substantively but in terms of understanding and anticipating clients' needs. Whatever the economic environment, genuine interest in clients and deeply caring about the work product contribute to a winning formula."
A graduate of Columbia University and George Washington University, Wu fell into the legal profession by default. Her early years as an associate were exceedingly stressful. She worked for several very demanding partners and each transaction that crossed her desk was more complex than the last. Then, in her sixth year, something changed.
"After thousands of hours of work, I all-of-a-sudden became very confident. I recall thinking, 'OK, this is something I can do. I have a real future here.'"
Wu stresses that "rainmaker" is not a title she can hang her hat on. "You must prove yourself everyday," she says. "Whether the client or deal at hand is big or small, you must provide an excellent level of service. All the networking in the world cannot replace a reputation for consistent, high-quality work. It's not easy, but if you approach this in a proactive, thoughtful way, it definitely pays off." DB

'Wild Woman' May Be Headed Home
Longtime State Senator Ada Smith, often called "The Wild Woman of Albany" by her detractors may have lost her reelection bid to a first-time candidate who is Preident of the District 28 Community Education Council.
With all of the election precincts in the 10th Senatorial District reporting an unofficial count, Shirley Huntley of Queens leads Smith by 50.9 percent to 49.1 percent.
And, while a spokesperson for the Board of Elections said on Wednesday that there are more than 2,500 paper ballots in the borough of Queens that must be counted before the tally is official, she declined to speculate about whether any of those paper ballots could have an impact on the Smith reelection bid.
By state law, the paper ballots will be opened and counted eight days after the election - on September 20.
Staff for Smith declined to say whether or not she would concede and would not speculate on whether or not the paper ballots could make a difference in the outcome of the election.
Smith told Jonathan Hicks of the New York Times, however, "Until all the votes are counted, there is no winner."
Over the years, Smith has been accused of menacing an aide with a meat cleaver, attacking a wedding party guest, refusing the right to take photographs at municipal weddings and macing a Brooklyn police officer after a traffic accident.
She has also been accused of using anti-gay slurs against staffers.
She has been convicted of running over the foot of a State Trooper who tried to stop her at a security checkpoint at a garage in Albany and was most recently convicted in an Albany court of harassment for throwing scalding hot coffee at another aide. It is unusual for incumbents to lose a reelection bid, and Huntley gave some credit to published reports about her opponent's problems with the law.
Huntley told reporters, "I'd like to give a medal to all the newspapers because press had a lot to do with [my winning the primary."]
Smith has long represented Broad Channel in the State Senate, although the island community makes up only a very small portion of the senatorial district.
Her race was the only primary challenge faced by a local politician.
Most of the local incumbents face no challenges in the upcoming November general election.
An expected primary challenge by Far Rockaway resident Mike Duvalle against Assemblywoman Michelle Titus was derailed when Duvalle was removed from the ballot by the Queens Supreme Court in August.
The only local facing a November challenge will be Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer, a Democrat, who will face Republican candidate Stuart Mursky on November 7.

The recent terrorist attacks suggest that it might be time to re-examine our foreign policy. What should that foreign policy be? Part of the answer might lie in the foreign policy principles enunciated at our founding.
President George Washington's Farewell Address in 1797 warned: "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible." Thomas Jefferson, our third president, sounded a similar warning in his first Inaugural Address in 1801: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations

Hopefully, they can combine the best of the West Coast Offense with GMen Smash Mouth run game as follows ( which I mentioned in a prior post....and yes I can dream.....)
1st Play - Running Back Counter with Jennings
2nd Play -RB Draw with Hillis.
3rd Play - RB Sweep with Jennings
4th Play - RB Counter with Hillis
5th Play - WR Post to Cruz ( with TE Option Fake - because we have no TE )

Besides its not like I defined it like this:
Btw, you used 1 example ..green bay. I mentioned multiple offenses. Are you going to say that the Broncos of the 90's weren't Smash mouth? Or the current 49ers? Or the Jets?
You said by definition that a west coast team cannot be smash mouth. YOUR words. So how do you explain those examples? I have asked this multiple times, you keep avoiding it or trying to change the subject. it is a straight forward question. If even 1 team is both smash mouth and west coast then your statement is incorrect. I have listed multiple examples of west coast offenses that are both.
Last edited by BlueSanta; 04-30-2014 at 06:54 PM.
well a running game opens the passing game which, keeps defenses honest
But I digress.
West coast offense emphasizes the short pass, opening up the run and long ball.
Smash mouth football emphasizes the run, opening up the play action pass.
It doesn't matter what your ranking is at the end of the year, or if your back is powerful or not, or whether he smashes people in the mouth when he runs. What matters is your approach at getting the defense to react that defines you.
Ill repeat myself AGAIN, since you refuse to answer a very simple question
How do you explain the 49ers? They are smash mouth and west coast.
How do you explain the Jets? They are both
Or the Chiefs?
Or the Broncos of the 90's?
How do you explain Green Bay last year?
Again, you said a team cannot be BOTH west coast and smash mouth.....Those were YOUR WORDS. So if any 1 of these examples fit the criteria of being both then your statement was incorrect.
So please, stop correcting grammar. Stop trying to redefine words, stop trying to give incorrect and overly simple definitions of the west coast system.
Just answer the question? How come there are so many examples of teams that are BOTH smash mouth and west coast if the 2 cannot exist together by definition(again, YOUR words)

There is scant doubt that Barack Obama does not enjoy the dirty world of politics. He intends to stand above, away and beyond any connection with "politics" and trades and giving politicians something for their vote. After all, he is the PRESIDENT. Unfortunately for Barack Obama he never studied the history of successful American presidents. Abraham Lincoln traded laws for votes, how else the 14th Amendment getting through Çongress. Need a new Post Office in your district, OK, but you must vote for my law. Franklin Roosevelt spent time each day talking with members of Congress, identifying which bills they needed to be passed in order to continue in office. In exchange for his largess the Congressman votes for the bill desired by the President. Lyndon Johnson needed Republican votes to pass the Civil Rights bill which granted equal rights to minorities and women, he go them by working to meet their political needs. The essential task of American presidents is to think about members of Congress and what they need in order to continue in office.
Failure on the part of Obama to adopt this attitude is part of his problems with Congress. Few Democrats in Congress have ever enjoyed the opportunity to meet and discuss political needs with their president. After all, a President is leader of his political office. Barack Obama has never understood that concept. He remains aloof from the dirty world of politics, and this is a piece of the puzzle for his terrible relations with Republicans–and Congressional Democrats! He is among the most inept political Presidents in our history.
Sorry, Barack, a great President is a great political leader!

When I got an email from Etsy featuring Halloween costume ideas for kids, my first instinct was to screech, "But it's 100 degrees outside! It's still summer!" Then I looked at the Tiny Prints Holiday page and realized that we recommend ordering your Halloween party invitations by September 16.
I guess fall really is right around the corner!
In any case, I thought I would remind you to plan ahead to make sure you don't get caught off guard this year. Here are a few of my favorite finds for your upcoming Halloween party:

text: Old-school is one of those safety razors found at flea markets. Hardcore old-school is a straight razor sharpened by a leather strop. Two blades is just behind the times. I myself was way behind, using a two-blade Sensor until one day a sample Mach3Turbo appeared in my mailbox. I always resisted the three-blade thing, perhaps because of the TV ads. I guess the metaphor of razor as F-16 fighter just didn't speak to me. But what a revelation the shave was. I don't know if it was the three blades as much as the engineering. But the shave was closer and smoother than I thought possible.

EMR Capital, a new private equity fund founded by
The fund has also bolstered its investment team with the appointment of David Jones, a former managing partner at CHAMP Private Equity, as a non-executive board director and
Mining personality Hegarty (chairman at Tigers Realm Coal, vice-chairman at G-Resources Group) is EMR's chairman. Chang was previously a partner at KPMG responsible for building the company's China business.
EMR's first investment is a 40 per cent stake in an early-stage Chilean gold project for $2.5 million plus follow-on investment. Chang said future investments would be north of $15 million and the fund planned to close once it raised $300 million.
It is one of only a few private equity funds to operate in the resources industry. Chang said the team is differentiated by its deep industry experience and links into Asia and a private equity approach to investing in resources would help to mitigate the downside risk.

Miejsce Lene jest idealnym miejscem na pobyt w Kopenhadze. Mieszkanie jest czyste, schludne, dobrze wyposażone, w bardzo dobrej lokalizacji, zaledwie 20 minut jazdy autobusem od lotniska i 15 minut od centrum. Wiele sklepów i restauracji w odległości spaceru też.
Lene był doskonałym gospodarzem i wszystko było dokładnie tak, jak reklamowane. Zdecydowanie polecam go!
Lene's place is perfect for staying in Copenhagen. The apartment is clean, tidy, well equipped, and in a very good location; only 20 minutes bus ride from the airport and 15 minutes from the centre. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance too.
Lene has been a great host and all was exactly as advertised. I definitely reccommend it!
Thank you, Lene! We enjoyed a wonderful week in CPH and your lovely appartment. I hope we'll be back some time. Cheers, Jan
Wonderful place. Good comunication and neighbourhood. The flat was very clean and tidy. There are restaurants, supermarkets and pharmacy arround. The bus 5a leaves you at the center in 10 min. You can also use Lene's bikes if you're tall enough (I couldnt :(
Thank you Lene, we felt like home

Lene was such a nice host and the Apartment was perfect. We had a wonderful time in Copenhagen, thank you very much Lene!
I can only add to the positive feedback you can alredy find for Lene and her home: she is friendly and helpful and the flat is cozy and clean. You can easily reach the location from the air port by bus and central Copenhagen is about half an hour by bus or bike ( the bike was in good condition, too). I was to busy visiting attractions in Copenhagen so I went only once to Amager beach, but it is probably a great place to close the day in summer time when you are back from Copenhagen in time.
Nice and clean apartment well located, 30 min to the airport (metro and walk) and only 20 minutes to go to the center by bike.
Lou and Lene welcomed us nicely.
We have enjoyed bikes lending.
We recommend.
Stéphanie et Nicolas.
My sister and I had a fantastic time in Copenhagen thanks to Lene ' s homely and clean flat. We loved the fact that we could borrow bicycles. We made our own way from the airport to the flat which was easy to find. Public transport connections are great into the city centre and to the airport. The flat was very spacious for the 2 of us and we could have had 2 separate bedrooms if we needed it. I would definitely stay at Lene ' s again.
My family and I had a great time in Copenhagen!
The apartment of Lene was in a great area (just 1,5km to the beach and 2km to the city center)! Perfect place to stay!
It is a clean and lovely flat, enough space for 4 person and we felt really at home!
Thanks a lot!!!

running wire to a detached shed subpanel
INTRO: to install a 40 or 50 AMP subpanel in a shed, which will be used for lighting inside, a 15, a 20, and a 30 amp (240V) outlet, as well as a garage door, i plan to run a weatherproof cable from my basement to the subpanel.
Q1: which gauge wire should i use and how many wires in the cable ? i was thinking 6/2 ?
Q2: which size plastic conduit should i use ? i thought that 3/4 should do.
Q3: will the new subpanel require a grounding rod ?
Q4: the wire shall run from the front of the basement its entire length (approx. 50 ft) to the back, then go through the wall outside. is it appropriate to use regular indoor cable inside and then a JB to connect it to the wet cable going outside to save $, assuming that the latter is more expensive ?
much obliged,
- a -
Q1 - 6/3UF or three #6THWN, one #10THWN in conduit.
Q2 - use 1"
Q3 - yes
Q4 - 6/3NM to UF, 6/3NM to THWN, or UF all the way.
also, do you recommend a 40 or a 50 AMP subpanel ?
- a -
Easiest way is UF all the way if you can do it. Less splices and j boxes means less chance for failure.
UF is rated for direct burial @ 24" .
It is difficult to pull thru smaller (less than 1 1/2") unless it's a straight shot.
I am not a big UF fan and I have all the tools and materials available so I would use romex (NM) inside to a j box, underground with 1" PVC and pull in THWN @ 18" deep to the panel (or to another j box, back to romex(NM) and to the panel)
40 or 50? Bigger is generally better.
If you go 40 you can use 3#8's and a 10 ground and 3/4" conduit.
does your preferred way involve using multiple THWNs or do they come bundled in a cable ?
what is the difference b/ween UF and THWN ?
- a -
in other words, to make it simple, go UF rather than THWN.
No...the same words :thumbsup:
is it deeper or shallower than 24" that i should be worrying about ? i will be going deeper.

Dr. Huumaryra Abedin left her position in Great Britain as a doctor in order to rush back for a visit to her mother who reportedly was ill. It was the normal consideration any daughter would feel for her mother, but little did the doctor grasped her parents had other thoughts in their mind than a visit from their daughter. They were upset at reports she was dating a Hindu in England, and once in Bangladesh, they forced her to marry a man of their choosing, a nice Muslim boy, that is. Dr. Abedin was able to get off a text message seeking help and the British government intervened and persuaded a Bangladesh court to obtain Dr. Abedin's release from captivity and return to the United Kingdom.
Back in London, Dr. Abedin, announced: "On 14 November 2008, I was forced to marry a person of my parens' choice. I was removed to another province of Bangladesh. I entered into the marriage under duress. I did not consent to the marriage." She is having the marriage voided.
After news of what happened to Dr. Abedin became known, the number of phone calls to the forced marriage hotline in England witnessed heavy traffic. This is the year, 2008, not 1498.

Independent Irish TDs (MP's) arrested and released after highlighting Irish Government's complicity in wars and torture
by R. Teichmann, first published on www.news-beacon-ireland.info
The history of the Irish government's complicity in war and torture by inaction is long. For years the US military has used Shannon Airport for transporting war materials and troops as well as for 'rendition' flights, i.e. transporting human beings to places where they are tortured.
This is not surprising as the red carpet is rolled out for any US-multinational corporation that comtemplates manufacturing or basing services here. In addition, in violation of the Irish constitution, which enshrines 'neutrality', succesive Irish governments have entered into military alliances through their participation in the so called 'Partnership for Peace' with NATO and through various treaties with the EU into the military structure of that construct.

According to the Minister for Transport 101,108 troops passed through Shannon in 2012 and 69,840 in 2013. Since October 2001 successive Irish governments allowed over two and half million armed U.S./NATO troops and large quantities of war materials through Shannon airport on their way to and from the Afghan and Iraq wars, in clear contravention of the customary international laws on neutrality. In addition, according to the Rendition Project website, a collaborative research project between Dr Ruth Blakeley at the University of Kent and Dr Sam Raphael at Kingston University, over 350 rendition flights came through Shannon Airport. We can only imagine the human suffering behind this figures.

The Irish people value their 'neutrality'. In a poll commisioned by the Peace and Neutrality Alliance over three quarters of Irish people believe Ireland should have a policy of neutrality. Thus it is no wonder that the actions of successive governments have not gone down well with the public. The protests of the peace activists against the military use of Shannon airport have been going on for years. Just this year the 80-year old Irish actress, writer, playwright, and peace-activist Margaretta D'Arcy was imprisoned twice for her protests. During one of her trials she tried to make a citizen's arrest of the judge declaring:
I am making a citizens arrest on you Patrick Durcan, district court Ennis; for making Irish people active allies and participants in illegal wars. Ireland is breaching the legal definition of neutrality as described by the Hague convention and subsequent international law on neutrality. The Nuremberg principal states; complicity in the commission of a crime against peace, a war crime or a crime against humanity is a crime against international law….
It is in this spirit that two independent Members of Parliament (TDs), Clare Daly and Mick Wallace tried to inspect two military US aircraft. They were arrested today on the tarmac close to a Hercules C130 transport aircraft, in a protest designed to highlight the lax inspection of US military movements through the airport. They were released later but a file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecution.
In these times all peaceful actions against war deserve the highest support of the public.

Hamilton charged over Australian car stunt
ESPNF1 StaffMay 23, 2010
Lewis Hamilton has been officially notified of the charge he faces over an incident on the eve of the Australian Grand Prix when he was stopped by police and charged with intentionally losing control of a vehicle.
Hamilton apologised for "over-exuberant" driving outside Albert Park track after the first day of practice for the race. "What I did was silly, and I want to apologise for it," he said in a statement at the time.
Police allege that Hamilton's car had "accelerated heavily and lost traction to the rear wheels" in making the turn.
The case will be heard in Melbourne Magistrates Court on August 24.

At a time when the case study method of teaching is being criticised, Robert F Bruner, dean, Darden Business School, University of Virginia, believes it is the right way to prepare an MBA for the world of business. A finance professor for 24 years before assuming charge as dean at Darden Business School in 2006, Bruner tells Praveen Bose that management education is all about making businesses work better. Excerpts:
You are promoting executive MBA in India. What is your strategy?
About half of the applicants apply directly and the other half come from companies. We approach them through corporate outreach and direct marketing. In the global programme, we have 15 students in the inaugural class. Our aim is to have 40-50 per class. I should have a small class and should be selective. The inaugural class always determines the reputation of the programme. In the US, for the full-time MBA programmes, a huge volume of applications comes from Indians. China and India are the most represented, outside the US. They have formed an extensive network. Darden is very receptive to Indian students. Our curriculum is high-impact and highly selective. They will carry the same degree as the others.
What teaching methods does Darden follow?
Our methods point to three things: a) We give more attention to the interests of society in training business leaders, in the interface between the government and society; b) We focus on psychology because much of the structure of MBA training is economics which makes assumptions on markets. It does not explain why panic happens. So psychology can help; c) We focus on business ethics. All decisions should take the wider interest of society into consideration. Some securities were written and mortgages lent and sold under fraudulent conditions. We don't know why rating agencies gave AAA ratings to what were risky securities. There's much more we need to understand. The curriculum is responding to these attributes, adding content that deals with social awareness and social perspectives in business and behavioural research. We are one among the few business schools where the student takes a graded course in business ethics.
Has the recent financial crisis taught any lessons to students?
All financial crisis is highly instructive to the young people, especially students. I wrote a book on financial crisis. I have emphasised the inter-linkage of systems. How decisions in one part of society have a huge impact on the rest of society and teach students to fight crises. The insights revert to the humanistic perspective of business — paying attention to human obligations, to motives and the state of mind, and intentions. It should make students pay attention to welfare and, above all, it should create in the minds of MBAs humility of decision-making and work. In contrast, in the 1990s we had all the answers. But, economy and society are vastly more complicated now. To make a wise decision you need to recognise the dangers. We need to think critically what caused the crisis and what we must do to exit this crisis.
Was there a change in the outlook of the class of 2010 given that we had just emerged from the crisis?
The class of 2010 had a sharp change in outlook because of the crisis. Students were disappointed. They missed the point that true vocation is toward a set of values and not just getting a specific job. Some students applied in the fall of 2007 and enrolled in August 2008 when financial institutions were teetering on the brink. The same students discovered a different market when they looked for a job in 2008-09. They were disappointed. The financial community was laying off rather than hiring. The inability was due to the macro-economic conditions. Many went on to become entrepreneurs. Most wanted to start or run a firm. Many others discovered that they had healthcare other than financial services and that was a healthy discovery. The class of 2010 considered the big alternatives.

Re: st: Do 2sls, ivreg etc. test the rank condition of identification?

Re: st: Do 2sls, ivreg etc. test the rank condition of identification?
Tue, 9 Oct 2007 17:50:57 -0500 (CDT)
Thomas Cornelissen <firstname.lastname@example.com> gave an example of
-reg3- estimating the parameters of a model that fails the rank condition.
Kit Baum <email@example.com> and "Schaffer, Mark E" <email@example.com>
commented on this topic as well. Kit privately sent me an example using the
auto dataset in which -reg3- produced estimates of the parameters of model
that fails the rank condition.
. webuse auto
. reg3 (price mpg weight displacement turn) (mpg price displacement)
(weight displacement trunk turn length)
It is unusual for the order conditions to hold and the rank conditions to
fail. In fact, both Thomas' and Kit's examples rely on introducing an
equation that is not simultaneous with the other equations to achieve this
result. See, for example, Kit's last equation.
Another situation that gives to this problem is when one equation is a
linear combination of other equations in the system.
Regardless, once we have confirmed that the rank condition can be properly
tested, even when linear constraints are applied to the model using the
option -constraint()-, we will add a rank-condition test to -reg3-.
In the interim, if you are concerned that your model fails the
rank-condition test, you can specify the -ireg3- option. This option will
trap the condition because when the rank condition is not met, the model is
not identified, and the iterated feasible generalized least squares used by
-ireg3- will be unable to converge.

Your favorite Cocoa book?
We sort of touched on this over in OSX Hardcore, but I'd love to hear reactions to any of the Cocoa books/Online Tutorials out there. I'm lusting after the legendary ease of UI design, but, well, I just haven't had the time or a project to work toward.
So, what books do you like?
All statements are to be taken with a grain of salt
- [ Ignore ]
I've been working my way through 'Cocoa Programming with Mac OS X'. The author claims that with a background in C and some understanding of how OOP works, you can get Objective-C.
So far, he's right. I like his teaching style—you go through sample projects in each chapter, diving right in and he gives you the play-by-play of what you're doing (and why) as you go along. I even learned how to use the debugger in Project Builder when I fat-fingered a declaration.
Prior to this, I was mainly using the CLI stuff- gcc, perl, python, shell. I don't have a lot of experience with a GUI IDE (I'm an old UNIX fart) but this book is really capturing my interest and making for a nice intro to that world.
Very high recommendations on this one.
Tom Sinclair
Yes, I also strongly recommend "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X". Thanks to it, I already know enough about Cocoa and Objective C to be able to write a program that shows a penguin-shaped window who says a random quote from "The Family Circus" every time you click on him!

As I posted somewhere else in TMO Forums, I've been skimming my way through O'Reilly's Learning Cocoa. Since it was the only one available in my local bookshop I didn't have much choice.
Nevertheless it's pretty good - I've managed by typing the code in by hand (I also have the down-loaded examples, but I wanted to be sure) to get virtually everything to work up until the last two examples. Any mistakes are almost certainly my own…
Cost was a bit steep though, at $NZ119…

Hi all, sorry for being lame and for such a bad blog week! This week has been INSANE. Adam's bff is in town and we thought we were only going to see him briefly, well as it turns out he wanted more Winn time so he's been driving back and forth to/from Dallas each day to spend more time with us so, we've been soaking up every minute with him! That coupled with work, gymnastics, cooking, etc. I have had zero time to blog, please accept my sincerest apologies. :)
This weekend will be a zoo too, we have 3 birthday parties, 1 shower and a dinner invite! All fun things, just a bit of a circus! I'm hoping to squeeze in some time to blog but just bare with me until I can get it together! :)
I have cooked a bit in the midst of the crazy, and one of the new things I tried was this cornbread. OH.MY.WORD. If you like green chili and and cornbread this recipe is for you, I don't know that I'll ever make another kind again!!
Okay all, I gotta jet, just walked in the door and need to head out again! More to come!

OHMYGOSH! I read the recipe and can't wait to make it!
So happy Jeremy could be with you for longer than a day - have a wonderful, crazy weekend!

Looks very yummy! I've made something similar, but where all the ingredients are mixed together vs layered. This definitely looks cooler :)

text: I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier today, sorry! My '98 Chev 1500 Silverdo failed safety inspection the other day - the emergency brake does not work - at all. Puzzled, I came home, got underneath the driver's side between the driver's door and back left wheel, and adjusted the cable as far as it will go. Then, tested the e-brake and it is as if it doesn't even exist: I can push the pedal to the floor (no resistance), put it in Drive, and it takes off like there is no brake at all. Then I jacked up the rear end, took off the back wheels, and looked at the brakes. Everything seems to look normal... there was a little brake dust, brake shoes look like they haven't even been used, drums are nice and smoothe. I had my wife engage the e-brake pedal and I looked at movement of brake parts on both sides each time. Movement looks "normal" to me - but it could be that the brake shows could expand farther. I'm not real sure about this. I'm wondering if something is going on back there which is causing the e-brake to not be functional. It just doesn't seem possible that, all of a sudden, the e-brake would not work (or the OTHER place I've been getting inspections at all these years has been overlooking this item). At this point, I'm wondering, if there is more adjustment needed somewhere else, like on each rear brake. I would like to confirm that the rear brakes are working properly before I keep looking for an adjustment. As far as I understand, e-brake operation and function is completely seperate from the regular braking system because it is all about cable linkage and a maybe a few springs. My gut feeling tells me that I should be getting some improvement from just tightening up the e-brake cable, but since I did not, there is something else going on inside the rear drums. By the way, I have done a lot of basic brake jobs on all my vehicles over the years and consider myself to be a pretty good weekend mechanic - I don't think I have ever not put something back together the right way. Anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to proceed or figure out if the shows are actually moving far enough? I hope it's a simple adjustment that I can make because I didn't replace something right the last time I did a brake job. Thanks GM Truck Club members, I appreciate your help!
