U; S. Must Direct Foreign Aid, Mmnesotan Says Former Gover- nor Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota reiterated his "production for peace" program last night in replying to what he termed attacks poli- cies by Henry A. Wallace. In an address to the Wisconsin Press association, n. weekly news- paper group, Stassen said Wallace and "others of the extreme left" had delivered u "four-pronged" at- tack on his policies; Stassen, only avowed candidate for the 1048 Republican presidential nomination, said the United States could not afford to allocate more than ten per cent of its production for n world-wide rehabilitation and building plan, under his program. Ho also declared he considered it essential that the United States administer the program, with the United Nations' advice and 'sugges- tions. (At Seattle, Wallace said ycstcrdny hb Idea was similar to SLasucn's but that he would make one-fourth of American savings available, through the International bank. Wallace said he was willing to go along with the Stassen plan if it was favored by a majority of Americans.) I-'rcc Economy Discussing the "production for peace" plan he outlined Wednesday In a speech at Jefferson, Iowa, Stas- sen said-the plan also had been at- tacked because It demanded that any area given aid be free of cen- sorship and be operating under a free economy system. "I believe in a free Stassen said. "I believe that social- isation of Industry, nationalization of enterprise and government own- ership of production has a scrnl- paralyxhiB effect on production and results In n lower standard of living for people than they can obtain from capitalism and an essentially free economy, "Consequently, I feel that it is wasteful to put our resources into an area unless they are moving; in the direction of greater individual freedom." Concerning United States admin- istration of his program, the Mlnnc- sotan said it was He said the "confused and conflicting inter- ests of others, the safeguards of our own economy from distorted infla- tionary pressures all require that we should administer tho program Elect WcyauwcRa Man The Wisconsin weekly editors, who met Stassen at their dinner meet- ,ng in the Pfister hotel, electee! Pete Walch of the Weyauwcga Chronicle to their presidency. Acting Governor Oscar Renne- bohm and U. S. Senator Joseph Mc- arthy were among those greeting Stassen. The former Minnesota governor paid particular tribute to the late Governor Walter S. GoodJand. He referred to him as the "highly res- pected dean of the governors" and mentioned his "frank and salty ap- proach to the problems that affected the states of the union." Governor Rennebohm told the publishers it was the duty of public officials to "awaken citizens to the klllca danger of minority groups who dis- like our form of government and are doing everything to destroy it." Jewish Refugee Ship Escorted to Cyprus Haifa. Liberty ship Runnymcde Park sailed for Cyprus today with 1.-157 visaless Jewish refugees who arrived yester- day In Palestine waters aboard a three-masted Italian schooner. The refugee ship, originally nam- ed Bruma and renamed in Hebrew Mordel Hagetaoth, meaning ghetto fighters, was intercepted by British vessels while trying to run ashore on t, south Palestine beach. A na- val party boarded her and escorted her to Haifu.

Hunt Spreads for Negro Believed Lynching Victim By Halph Howlancl Jackson, N. officers today suggested the possi- bility that .there had been no lynch- ing in the' cnse of a young Negro who was whisked away from the Northampton county jail here by a masked, white band early yesterday after he had been arrested on a charge of attempted rape. "We worked all said a weary state bureau of investigation agent who would not be quoted by name, "and we are not so sure there has been ;i lynchlujf." A half doKCii other officers .nod- ded agreement. None would offer a theory as to what had happened to the suspect but there were rumors he had escaped from his captors. Meantime, law enforcement offi- cers continued to comb through the thick pine woods Of Northampton and nearby Hertford and Halifax counties for the missing Negro. The object of the search was 24- ycar-old Godwin (Buddy) Bush. Charged with attcmpLlng to rape n young white woman. He-was seined In tho Northampton county jail here by an armed, masked band of white ir.cn who disappeared in the pre- dawn darkness yesterday. In Raleigh Governor R. Gregg 'hcrry announced that he had or- dered the SBI "to locate those re- sponsible. Such persons will be pro- secuted to the full extent of the law." Could Not Advise, President to Leave, Physician Says President Truman's physician .said today that he would not be warranted in ad- vising the chief executive to return to Washington at this time in view of the critical nature of his mother's illness. Presidential Press Secretary Charles G. Ross, after a talk with Brigadier General Wallace H. Gra- ham, told reporters the young medical officer feels that the pa- tient's condition is such that he would not he warranted in advising her son So return at this stage. Improvement. Not Maintained The disclosure of General Gra- ham's view came after it was gen- erally known here that the Presi- dent has abandoned nil thought of returning to the White House In the absence of any decided change for the better. It 'followed questioning of Boss about a news conference Wednes- day in which General Graham-had told correspondents that if a grad- ual Improvement noted nt that time continued for a couple of days, the President's return might be con- sidered. The improvement was not maintained. The President, looking despondent, loft his hotel at Kansas City at a. m. (C.S.T.) for Grandvlcw for another clay at Mrs. Martha E. Truman's bedside. He told reporters that while his mother "had a fairly good night" there was no change in her condi- tion, which he described last night as "a little weaker." He was accompanied by his wife and daughter, Margaret. Despite his concern with his own and the nation's said he "did a day's work last night and this President stop- ped to buy eight "buddy poppies" from eight little girls who awaited him at the loot' of hls-penthausc elevator. The President, a veteran of the first world war, autographed each of the one dollar bills he gave the girls for the poplcs. The poppies ore being sold by the Veterans of For- eign Wars to raise rehabilitation funds. The President chatted brief- ly, with the little girls.

ETS Revises GRE Test Taking Policies
Beginning July 1st, test-takers will be able to retake the GRE without waiting for 30 days, as they currently must do. ETS, the test-maker behind the GRE, recently announced that it is revising its retesting policy to allow students to retest 21 days after their last GRE test date, and up to fiv
e times in a rolling year. What does this mean for students as they prepare for the GRE?
This new option will give students increased flexibility to test closer to their application deadlines, as necessary. Graduate programs often have different guidelines when it comes to the types of scores that they require students to submit with their applications: Some schools will only accept official scores, many accept unofficial scores (as long as the official scores are sent when the student receives them), and some only require an official score report after accepting a student. These differing guidelines often make it difficult for students to appropriately time their test date if their deadlines are approaching, so the option of retesting with a shorter waiting period is beneficial.
However, utilizing this should still be a last resort for test-takers. While there are certainly circumstances in which students will need to take the GRE less than a month before their deadlines, many make the decision to apply to graduate school far enough in advance that they can prepare for the test with ample time. Ideally, students should allot 2-3 months to study for the GRE – summer is an ideal time to prep, as students will have sufficient time to retest if necessary and still allow a wide window within which to complete applications before December and January deadlines.

Please help!
I have been trying to proceed on this as suggested by
Justina (below), but am still stuck in what appear to
me (perhaps wrongly) to be a 'chicken-and-egg'
problem. It seems that, for regressors which one fears
to be endogenous, on the one hand one needs to find
appropriate instruments in order to test whether they
are in fact endogenous, but on the other hand one must
treat them as endogenous and select appropriate
instruments first. Is it the case that, if you suspect
a regressor might be endogenous, you should first go
through the whole process of finding an
appropriate/best instrument, and only then even test
if it is in fact endogenous?
Would the following be a correct step-by-step guide of
how to proceed, with my dependent variable ROA and
regressors a, b, c, and d, of which I theoretically
suspect d in particular of being endogenous:
1) Experiment with various possible instruments for d,
such as l.d, l4.d, and e; by running the regressions

and repeating this using (d=l4.d) and (d=e).
2) Compare the Hansen J stats reported after the
results. A problem I have here is that the statistics
are all zero as the regressions are exactly
identified. But if I had statistics reported, would I
be looking for the largest stat as a pointer to the
most appropriate instrument?
Justina suggests looking at the F-stats of excluded
instruments, to be honest I don't see these, but there
are some F-stats in relation to the instrumentalised
variable d (pasted below). What exactly is it that I
should be comparing between regressions in order to
choose the best instrument of ones that I am
considering? [continued below output...]
Variable Partial R2 Partial R2 F(1,17962) P-value
d 0.5041 0.5041 115.76 0.0000
NB: first-stage F-stat heteroskedasticity and
Underidentification tests:
Chi-sq(1) P-value
Anderson canon. corr. likelihood ratio stat.
12631.56 0.0000
Cragg-Donald N*minEval stat.
18306.78 0.0000
Ho: matrix of reduced form coefficients has rank=K-1
Ha: matrix has rank>=K (identified)
Weak identification statistics:
Cragg-Donald (N-L)*minEval/L2 F-stat 18256.98
NB: identification statistics not robust
Anderson-Rubin test of joint significance of
endogenous regressors B1 in main equation, Ho:B1=0
F(1,17962)= 0.24 P-val=0.6268
Chi-sq(1)= 0.24 P-val=0.6264
NB: Anderson-Rubin stat heteroskedasticity and
3. Once i have chosen the 'best' instrument (say
l4.d), then test whether or not the suspect variable
is endogenous? By specifying
.xtivreg2 ROA l.ROA a b c i.quarter (d=l4.d) fe gmm
bw(3) robust ffirst endog(d)
And if the Ho on the endog test is rejected, this
would mean that d can in fact be treated as exogenous
after all.
Would this be a correct way of proceeding? And where I
am not sure about the endogeneity of all regressors,
how can I even find the best instrument for one in
order to test its endogenity without knowing if the
others are endogenous and their appropriate
I am feeling really confused about this and have been
working on it and reading the relevant literature but
am struggling to operationalise it. Any simple and
practical tips would be very much appreciated.

trading screw length for more screws
I have a conundrum. I want to mount a TV mount above my fireplace to hang my TV. The mount is a "dynamic" mount, in that you can pull the TV down to eye level so you're not looking up at it, so there will be some stress on it beyond just supporting the TV.
So the company recommends 3" lags, problem is that while I have 2x4's on the wall, they are mounted sideways, so I'd be drilling into the 4 inch face, only 2 inches, er, really 1.5 inches deep.
So they say you need 4 of these 3" lags. Could I get away with 8 1.5" lags? Is there a formula that will take depth of the screw and screw diameter to calculate it's various strengths (sheer, pull out, vertical load)
any thoughts much appreciated.
PS- behind the studs are brick, and I've had bad experience screwing into brick so I'm trying to stay away from it. Also, screwing into the brick around a fireplace seems like it could be trouble to me, so if I can avoid it I thought it better to.
isn't there a 2" air space between your wood framing and the fireplace brick?
Lots of articles out there about whey you should never mount a television above a fireplace. If that matters to you.
Substituting more screws for those the correct length is not going to work.
I would think about some sort of expansion bolts, or perhaps some masonry anchors into the brick? If there is space between some sort of molly or butterfly bolt might work.
(for point 1, I don't use the fireplace much, and can't imagine it's going to change greatly)
I'll have to read more about the suggestion on screws
Posted this awhile back. Perhaps it will help explain types of fasteners that might work depending on your wall composition.
No TV above the fireplace anytime :no:
drill the wood, then drill the brick, but not to far. Then put one of those plastic plugs,( leave the shoulder on the plug) on the tip of the screw, screw until it is tight. I have attached many handrails to brick this way and has always held up well to the savages. Oh I mean tenants.
To be honest with you, from reading your post, I still do not know what your are attaching to, because you are not explaining it well. What is the makup of your wall starting from the outside to the inside?
Is it panneling, then horizontal furring, then brick, then studs? or is it Brick, then horizontal 2 x's, then panneling then what vertical 2 x's?
Of another matter, you are going to get tired of holding your head at the angle necessary to look at a TV that is up high, and you will get a sore/ stiff neck from it. Your head is heavy, and needs to be balanced while viewing, not to mention what heat does to electronics.
Think outside the box. (or wall in this case) Why not attach additional 2x4s on their face on the outside of the wall? You can nail them to the existing 2x4s using 10d or 16d nails, depending on the thickness of your paneling/wall finish. This will give you 3" of lumber to lag into. Trim out the sides of the 2x4s on the outside of the wall and make it look nice. Be creative.
So thats the room, there is another built in on the right side as well.
The wood panel goes across that side of the room and it is mounted on 2x4's that at 16" on center. The 2x4's are mounted such that they are 2" deep and 4 inches wide. Therefore if I drilled into I could only get 1.5" of real wood.
The idea of putting another 2x4 on it is an awesome idea. Only downside is that the wall there wouldn't be flush with the across the other side since the built in's would have that wall be 1.5" further back. Any idea's on if that would look horrible? or would it be lost due to the side of the book shelf?
Also, is brick around a fireplace double thick?
Thanks for the help

BLACKLICK TOWNSHIP — Indiana County's newest winery, Country Winery and Vineyard, opened last weekend with abbreviated hours.
"I've made wine many years" and entered amateur winemaking contests like those sponsored by "WineMaker" magazine, said winery owner George Bogdanski.
The new winery and about 2 acres of young grape plants in a new vineyard are located on about 3 acres at 323 McConnell Road near Blairsville.
Because the grape plants in his new vineyard are immature, Bogdanski is buying juice from the Erie area to make Country Winery and Vineyard's initial offerings. He expects that within four years he'll be harvesting his own grapes for winemaking.
For sale now at the new winery are nine varieties, including blackberry, black raspberry and blended wines, priced from $11 to $15 per bottle.
The winery features a tasting bar where customers may sample wines before buying, and they may buy chilled wine to enjoy outdoors at the winery.
Adding a nice touch to the ambience, Bogdanski said, is that customers can see the grape vineyard from the winery.
A major expense in starting up the new venture, he said, was the purchase of stainless steel vats.
Bogdanski anticipates his wine production for the first year of his new enterprise will be about 900 gallons.
He's continuing to work at his other career as a heating and air conditioning technician and hopes the winery will grow into a retirement business.
His daughter, Adrian, helps in the winery and his grandchildren lend a hand in the vineyard, he said.
According to Bogdanski, his is the third winery within a four-mile area in southern Indiana County, and it may contribute to a "wine trail" that wine aficionados will follow and visit.
Country Winery and Vineyard is now open from noon to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. A grand opening will be held this summer, Bogdanski said.

Romney-Ryan Malarkey: The Buckeyes Aren't Buying It
During the Vice Presidential Debate Paul Ryan displayed for America how he has a bad habit of doing one thing and saying another. Otherwise known as malarkey. Ohioans are not in the market for malarkey.
Paul Ryan cut funding for US embassies, and then pretended to forget that fact when our embassy was attacked.
In fiscal year 2011, lawmakers shaved $128 million off of the administration's request for embassy security funding. House Republicans drained off even more funds in fiscal year 2012 — cutting back on the department's request by $331 million. As the Washington Post noted, for fiscal year 2013, "the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department's Worldwide Security Protection program — well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration."
Ryan said we shouldn't project weakness to our enemies, and then he projects weakness to our enemies by claiming our embassy was attacked because the President ignored requests for more security.
We should be blaming the criminals who attacked our embassy for the attack on our embassy. We should stand unified against them. The process of allocating resources for embassy security is a complex one, and not something that should be thrown around as a cheap political talking point.
"The Department of State regularly assesses risk and allocation of resources for security, a process which involves the considered judgments of experienced professionals on the ground and in Washington, using the best information available. The assault that occurred on the evening of Sept. 11, however, was an unprecedented attack by dozens of heavily armed men."
~ Under Secretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy a four-decade veteran of the Foreign Service speaking about the attack on the Benghazi embassy
Ryan claims he will give honesty to the American people and then he lies to our faces.
At the end of the vice presidential debate when Ryan was asked by the moderator what he, as a man, would give the country that no one else could, his immediate answer was "honesty." This after spending the previous hour and a half telling lie after bald-faced lie.
During the debate Ryan told at least 24 lies in 40 minutes. Think Progress did a great job of fact checking him through the debate. Read their summary at this link.
Ryan claims he will save social programs and then he works to destroy them.
During the debate Ryan said, "We're not going to run away. Medicare and Social Security did so much for my own family. We are not going to jeopardize this program, but we have to save it…"
I watched the debate at Dempsey's with Nuns on the Bus Ohio. The nuns point out that Ryan's budget proposal would slash funding for the needy and give tax cuts to the rich. You can read more about the nuns and their resistance to Ryan's heartless policy ideas at this link.
Who do you believe: Social Justice Nuns or #LyinRyan?
Ryan says he's a numbers guy who is really into math and then he gives us NO MATH!
The moderator from the Vice Presidential Debate tried repeatedly to get numbers from him…
RADDATZ: Well, let's talk about this 20 percent. You have refused — and, again — to offer specifics on how you pay for that 20 percent across-the-board tax cut. Do you actually have the specifics? Or are you still working on it, and that's why you won't tell voters?
Retired four-star General and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) Wesley Clark has a bit of advice for Paul Ryan and his crew…
"Say what you mean and mean what you say. "
Friday morning I attended a press conference with Columbus City Councilmember Zach Klein and General Wesley Clark. They spoke about how Mitt Romney's plans will hurt the middle class and make America less secure.
During the event, Gen. Clark pointed out that Ryan and Romney are all bluster and no beef when it comes to foreign policy. Councilman Klein spoke about domestic policy issues and protecting the social safety net from a Romney/Ryan ticket.
Gen. Clark described how President Obama has been a strong and responsible leader who has invested in veterans and the middle class, confronted our enemies without hesitation, and strengthened our alliances while remaining true to the values that make our nation great.
Both Councilmember Klein and General Clark had brilliant things to say. Here's my video of their comments…
So which do you want- Malarkey and incompetence, or honesty and leadership?
You can only have a say in the matter if you get out and vote.
And I suggest you vote early to avoid any shenanigans on Election Day. Those who spew malarkey often resort to shenanigans in the end.

Congressman Ryan has at this point displayed such hypocrisy and such a mishandling of the truth that I fear him a profoundly negative example for everyone. Democrats and Republicans need to be able to live peacefully and work together – but we can't to that with politicians like him trying to play both sides, work the system, and lie to get as many votes as they can. It's really disheartening. The stimulus funds are a perfect example. As is in the debate when he admitted to the two letters he wrote the Vice President from Wisconsin, only after being called out. There were actually four. The moderator, kindly, offered him the chance to clear up confusion over the Romney "tax plan" – and he refused. Fatal error. Taxes are, essentially, what politicians plan to do with "your hard earned money" and this is, of course, serious business for *any citizen. And he would not even elaborate on any specifics or offer any details on what their plan was? That is not okay.
Now, do we even need to go into the fact that the congressmen voted *against American women being able to be paid at the same rate as American men for doing the same work?
This is not American. It never was and it never will be.
There is no "good" principle there. No integrity. And that does matter. It matters a great deal.
This is an outstanding article, Lauren, and you are so right- Ohioans must not buy into this incompetence and malarkey from Lyin' Ryan nor Myth Romney. Liars never win!
Mr. Apathy
Joe Biden drafted the core of the Patiot Act in 1995 as the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act. That and voting for two wars he's blaming on Bush. Wow what hypocrisy.

Big Man in Tulsa
So it's my first time in Tulsa and I'm driving past the fairgrounds and suddenly I see this giant. Nearly wrecked the rental car. Giants make me nervous, for some reason.
This one, however, has been standing in the same place since about 1966, reminding folks that Oklahoma was once the largest oil field in the country. Apparently, in all that time, the oilman has never made a threatening move, even to protest America's dependance on foreign oil, lament falling oil prices, or to make his views known on the state of the industry. He's been a silent guardian at the fair standing up equally to Oklahoma twisters and the winds of time.

The furious winds of change that swept through Egypt earlier this year and resulted in toppling Hosni Mubarak from power have become transformed into summer calm in which those who controlled Egypt continue to control Egypt and those who killed and brutalized protesters remain in their positions of authority. Yesterday, repressed anger burst out and thousands poured into Tahrir Square to vent frustrations at inaction that allows military leaders to rule the land while the process of democracy is stalled. A media reporter described the scene as a 'street war between riot police and protesters." Police were seen beating rioters and many were hauled off to jail–just as what happened when there was a President Mubarak.
Fear in Egypt is continuance of military control or a new alliance between the military and the Muslim Brotherhood which would stifle a democratic and secular society that is demanded by so many of the protesters.

This week, Eric Holder became the first Attorney-General in US history to be cited for contempt by a House Committee. I do not want to discuss whether this is justified—at least not in this post—but I do want to consider what the best thing for Obama to do in the context of this current campaign is.
No doubt there are some that think the House vote could cause a general perception of the Obama administration as scandal-plagued. This would certainly not be good in an election year. So now might be the time to ask for Eric Holder's resignation or fire him.
But I'm convinced that would be the wrong move. The best thing for Obama to do would be to defend Holder enthusiastically and proclaim his full confidence in him. There is an unavoidable racial dynamic here. White Republicans are seen in some quarters of the African-American community as unfairly picking on the first black attorney-general. Obama could win himself some plaudits by standing up for Holder. You might be thinking that Obama already has a lock on the black vote, which he does. But by issuing a strong defense of Holder he might get more turnout and encourage other blacks to donate money or volunteer their time.
In addition, Obama's campaign could paint sticking by Holder as a principled move by a principled politician and draw a not so subtle contrast with Romney who has changed positions on many issues. This could reinforce his likeability factor and his standing among centrist and independent voters.
Now of course, many staunch, ideologically committed Republicans despise holder for a variety of reasons. But these people will already vote for Romney any way because of Obama's stands on other issues. And they already enthusiastically oppose the President.
In short, Obama has nothing to lose, and potentially something to gain politically by defending Holder.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Vash01, Sep 30, 2011.
What are your TWO favorite figure skating programs skated to Chopin's music?
Carron/Jost FD
Belbin/Agosto FD
I'll post link's later.
Miki Ando skated a very respectable SP to Chopin (Pianist music at the end) around 2002, but I could not find the program or more info on it. I just remember watching it on YT long ago.
Kozuka skated his LP in 2006 to Chopin's concerto #2, but he was very young then, so I did not include him. He is a much better skater now.
Gordeeva-Grinkov used some Chopin in their 1988 Oly LP, but it was only a small part of their routine, so I did not include it here.
Were you thinking of her absolutely lovely 2004 sp? Proves that she had a gorgeous layback at one point (Uncle Dick even makes note of it!). Begs the question of what it would be like if she would have stayed with the Sato's.
I love that! Yes, that's the one. I was off by a couple of years. This should have been on the poll. Can the admin add this?
Deleted post
Ooh Definately Mao Asada's Nocturne No. 2. It really was beautiful and a lovely program to showcase her as a ladies skater. I really like the Skate America SP as you could see her blades working. It was rather lovely. Just a pity she didn't perform well at Worlds.
I must admit to being ignorant of those other performances except for Shizukas. It was fantastic as well.
There must be other Chopins you're forgetting. I'm rather useless at remembering who skated to what music.
It was in the 2003/2004 season and here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwmtaR-YhaM. One of my favourite short programs ever.
You could tell their true love for the country from that free programme.
Mao's Nocturne SP and her Ballade Exhibition are my top picks. I also really liked Yagudin's Etude. It's probably my second favorite SP of his next to Winter.
I also voted for Arakawa. I also love Mao's two most recent Chopin Exhibitions
Zagorodniuk, Polonaise Militaire
I will try to post some links tonight. I was very sleepy last night when I started the thread, and was not able to post the links.
Gingercrush, here are a few links for you:
The Protopopovs (1985 world pro) skating to Nocturn
Mao Asada: Exhibition (Ballad 1)
Yagudin worlds 2001 SP (Revolutionary etude):
More links in another post.
My vote goes to the Protopopovs.
I love Shizuka Arakawa's skating, but her Chopin SP was not my favorite. Maybe because I have in mind her Olympic performance, which was conservative, IMO.
definitly mao's nocturne and ballade which really felt like the music was made for her to skate...
I'll wait for your links; then see if I can add any.
Usova and Zhulin "Prelude in E Minor" from 1992-3. To this day one of my all time fave programs ever from them
U&Z also had Chopin's waltz in A minor in the middle section of their Mars program in the 1989 worlds FD.
Kristi Yamaguchi 1992
I'm partial to this program.
That was lovely. She was so good as a junior! Why wasn't she successful as a senior skater?
More YT links:
Belbin-Agosto worlds 2008 FD:
Shizuka Arakawa 2006 Oly SP (Fantaisie Impromptu):
Takahiko Kozuka 2006 Trophee Eric Bompard:
Jeni Meno-Todd Sand skated SP to Fantaisie Impromptu at 1997 US nationals:
Debi Thomas- world pro 1988:
I've been wondering whatever happened to her. I remember watching her around 2002 and then I was out of the loop for years after that so I'm not sure what did happen.
I think it had something to do with burnout and an exceedingly overbearing mother. Look at her mom's reaction to her Junior Worlds winning LP, she looks...displeased...
I remember her competing against Sasha Cohen (both skated to Swan Lake and Sasha was gorgeous at the time- with Tarasova's choreography), and not doing so well. I saw her in some more competitions and she was good, but I think the US ladies field may have been very competitive at that time for her to crack into the top 3. Her skating suffered too, may be because of the pressure.
Later I heard rumors that she was burned out because of parental push, and finally she quit. I don't know the details.
This thread may provide some answers:
Thanks. I remember reading that thread long ago.
I am digressing here, but we have seen so many skaters show great promise as junior skaters, but disappear as senior skaters. That's why I am not so sure about the Russian babies. I don't know how many of them will make it in the senior ranks, and it's not just puberty I am talking about.
Back to the thread- it seems there are just a handful of pieces by Chopin that skaters have skated to. I think someone has skated to Nocturne in C minor (used in the movie The Pianist), but can't remember who it was.
I feel that Chopin's music is so unique that only a handful of skaters can do justice to it, and it seems to suit Mao Asada really well. Actually she seems to perform her best when she skates to Chopin.
Ironically that FD never grew on me. I always think more of their exhibition pieces like Prelude in E Minor, Autumn Leaves and the Tango from '93 World Exhibitions.
I did like their Paganini in '91. Their 4 Season's in '92 was sublime.

Dinesh D'Souza Resigns. After a blistering rebuke in SkepticMoney.com (and the rest of the web), Dinesh D'Souza resigns his job at King's College.
NEW YORK — A conservative scholar behind a high-grossing film that condemns President Barack Obama says he resigned as president of an evangelical college in New York so it can move forward.
He did it for the kids!
The evangelical magazine WORLD reported he was engaged to one woman while still married to another. He says leaving the college will allow him to address "personal matters."
It takes extra time to keep two women happy.
D'Souza directed the political documentary "2016: Obama's America." He says he and his wife have been separated since 2010.
Even his wife could not stand him. Did any rational person actually watch that movie. I heard it was almost as bad as the one about Islam.
D'Souza took his fiancee to a Christian values conference last month in South Carolina. Organizers confronted him after concluding he shared a hotel room there with his fiancee.
If there is one thing christians are good at – getting involved with your sex life. It is so great that he gets busted by the very people that support him with payments as high as $10,000 per event. Events where he explains that by it's very nature christianity makes you more moral.
The board of The King's College announced school president Dinesh D'Souza was stepping down immediately following their discussion with him during a marathon meeting to decide his future.
It sounds like the decided!

Borrowed Light
by Carla Kelly
Product Description
Julia Darling never expected to cook for some cowboys in Wyoming, but when she breaks off her engagement in Salt Lake City, it's the perfect opportunity for her to escape. Determined to stick the job out, Julia faces her biggest challenge yet — letting go of borrowed light to find her own testimony. Set in the early 1900s, this is one romantic adventure you'll never forget!
By Frances, Submitted on 2015-02-25
The book was enjoyable and you get to really like the characters. The ending is a bit forced with the many problems they encounter but I liked the book. One of the better written LDS books.
By Carrie, Submitted on 2015-02-25
This is a great read, especially if you like old western settings. The message of the story is that we all need to find and rely on our own individual testimonies and the author portrays this beautifully with realistic examples and lovable characters that provide authenticity to the setting and time period. Although not heavy in the novel, the romance aspect was very well done, not cheesy. Fun and thoughtful read!
By Amanda, Submitted on 2015-02-25
I have let this book down by not reviewing it before now. This book changed my life, really. I loved everything about it. Julia's struggle with faith after leaving her strong family is real.
I find comfort in the pages reading about struggles that are relatable and true today! Plus the story is AMAZING! I'd give this book 6 out of 5 stars!
By Frances, Submitted on 2015-02-25
It was a good book. I thought the ending pushed the boundaries of believable but I enjoyed the book.
By Danielle, Submitted on 2015-02-25
This story was wonderful. I laughed and cried. I enjoyed reading about how Julia had to find out for herself if she believed the gospel to be true, and how her example helped to encourage Paul to do the same. I will read this again, and again. Excellent!

As throngs of teachers thousands-strong packed Queen's Park beneath the beating sun, union representatives vowed to "turn up the heat" on the government too.
Those were the words of Canadian Union for Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario President Fred Hahn Tuesday afternoon, as educators in the province protested forthcoming legislation that they say would curb their democratic rights.
Teachers say the government should not be imposing a two-year contract that will put them back in classrooms come September without proper negotiations, accusing the government of violating their right to collective bargaining.
But despite the controversial legislation that would freeze their wages, cut benefits and ban strikes or lockouts for at least two years, teachers say the school year will proceed without disrupting students' education.
The legislation was introduced yesterday by Premier Dalton McGuinty's minority Liberal government. Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak has also expressed his support.
Mr. Hahn spoke alongside Peter Tabuns, the NDP MPP for Toronto-Danforth and Sam Hammond, president of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO), amongst others.
The rally was organized by the ETFO, whose members were joined by those from CUPE Ontario and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF), which constituted the majority of the crowd.
"I'm just feel like I'm living in North Korea right now," said Lori Michaud, who teaches full-day kindergarten at Elmcrest Public School in Mississauga, expressed concern that the proposed legislation would have her "rights and freedoms stripped away."
However, members from other unions – including those which have already signed new deals with the Ontario government – came to pledge their support as well.
"Any legislation jammed down someone's throat isn't fair," said Brian Hogan, the local president for the Windsor-Essex chapter of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association, whose union had already accepted an agreement similar to the proposed legislation with the Ontario government last month.
"We did sign a deal, fair enough," he conceded. "But to then legislate goes against the way a government should work with workers."
Gary Howe, vice president of Local 1005, a Hamilton union of "Proud Canadian Steelworkers," said that it wasn't right for the government to legislate the majority of its province's teachers based on a "fabricated" crisis.
"It's important that workers stick together in Ontario, because we're seeing our rights be eroded," he said.
Members from both ETFO and CUPE could be seen hoisting hundreds of red signs above their heads, adorned with calls to "Negotiate Don't Legislate" and stand united against the Ontario government's bullying.
Others brought homemade signs, which boasted slogans such as "Flunk you, McGuinty" and "Thank Dalton for throwing us under the bus."
Jamie Rusynyk, a third grade teacher at Credit Valley Public School in Mississauga, said today's rally was an important step in changing the public's perception of educational employees.
"People either stand by teachers or they're against them," he said. "I don't think there's any middle ground."

Shadows of Sede
Short Story by: Aaron Crowley
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
The storm outside was reaching its arms into the inhabitants of Sede, a small island, but a special island. Though small, it ran deep. Ancient tunnels and gigantic caverns ran through the core of the Island. Even though small it held many secrets. The Island was a perfect site for the D.E.A.D training grounds, no-one really knows what the letters stand for, but what is well known is that if you are a part of the team, you are a force to be reckoned with. D.E.A.D is the world's most famous assassin recruit station, even though it was well known, no one knew where they were, they were invisible to the world, but not to the people's mind. So on this Island filled with killers a storm was raging, and it had been for two weeks. The Island was susceptible to storms, but none had ever lasted this long, but the inhabitants were fine, they just ran around in the tunnels and caverns, that were once inhabited with strange creatures. Of course, they did not know this. No-one knew about the history of the islands, nor the sea that surrounded it, otherwise they might have thought differently about going there.
"Dinners up!" shouted the stocky ginger chef, wearing his dirty apron flailing around an axe as if it was a fork. All at once 100 cloaked figures appeared in the cafeteria, a large cavern on the western side of the island,they sat down on the rows of tables and chairs, there were six overall. Some jut gazed at the surroundings and came to the conclusion that they were in a metal box with a door on one side that lead to a rough rocky passage the intruders were expected. They were after all the assassins. They all wore the same clothing, a dark leather cloak with a hood, with belt buckle fasteners and metal chains on the left arm of the outfit, they were like warriors of the shadows. All sat down and waited as the food was being served, tuna in a can again, they were running out of food supplies so they had to make do until the storm was over. Grumbles rose as the meal was placed before them. "Hey stop complaining, has anyone died this week? No, so the storm has helped in some ways. Think of this like camping, and when camping, there usually isn't good food, now stop complaining and eat up," Exclaimed the chef when he heard a sly remark about his cooking. A silence settled, but not because of the chef's speech, but because Madikus had entered. Madikus was the founder of D.E.A.D, he wasn't a supernatural killer, he was a scientist, and he wore the same style clothing as all the other assassins, but in red, not in black. He sported scraggly black hair, a six foot tall body, and a skinny frame. Madikus did not look like a leader, he looked more like a mascot. He stood at the center of the cafeteria, on the table top of the third table, and spoke," Now I'm sure you have all heard, and felt for that matter, the recent rumbles we've been having. Now some have joked that it's our stomachs from these crap grub we're eating," a small laughter complimented his joke, " Yes well I'm sure Chef is doing the best he can, anyway, there have been silly rumors about the island splitting in half and other nonsense, well no need to worry, it is only the last few hits of this storm we've been having, so these rumbles signify the end, soon we'll all be having steak and fries!" With this came a loud roar of applause, finally they wouldn't be stuck here under in these dreadful caverns, and they will be able to go back onto work.

Government to review industry's petition
September 2, 2004,
WASHINGTON – The Bush administration will consider the petition for a China safeguard that is being filed by textiles and apparel trade groups later this month. The petition is based on the threat of market disruption, rather than actual market disruption once quotas are lifted on Jan. 1, the U.S. Department of Commerce confirmed yesterday evening.
According to Commerce Department Spokeswoman Mary Brown Brewer, the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements reviews every petition received very carefully and makes its decisions on a case-by-case basis. She stated, "In reviewing petitions, we consider whether (it) includes the information required in our published procedures and whether it includes sufficient specific factual data necessary to make a determination as to whether imports are disrupting or threatening to disrupt the U.S. market."
Another trade attorney, who requested to remain anonymous added, "The industry has a very uphill battle right now, and I'm sure they are going to fight as hard as they can to win. I believe China will take steps when it is politically expedient for them to do so."
Weinberg continued, "The procedure is based on market disruption, that is what China and the United States have agreed to and is the way the process works. Petitions that prove actual market disruption have a better chance of resulting in safeguards." She explained that if CITA decides to accept the petition, it will then solicit comments from the public, namely firms and individuals from the industries involved.
If the petition is filed before Oct. 1, as trade groups are planning, it forces the U.S. government to make its decision regarding the petition rather quickly and implement a potential safeguard by mid January for a virtually seamless transition. Otherwise, minimum trade growth will be held at its current level of 7.5 percent, based on the previous year.
The American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, National Council of Textile Organizations and National Textile Association stated in their press conference yesterday that they will file threat-based safeguard petitions with CITA, an interagency group comprised of representatives from the Departments of Commerce, State, Treasury and Labor, as well as the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

Huey And The Hobgoblins
Drogheda, County Louth
Louth based Huey And The Hobgoblins have spent the last 4 years transforming from a fledgling 3-piece to a venue-packing 8-piece funk/blues/folk/retro-pop band. The band have a big love for great music and good times, and this has become a visible part of the band's live performances.
Taking inspiration from their many and varied influences such as The Meters, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Rory Gallagher, Muddy Waters, Lalo Schifrin, The Band, Gomez, Miles Davis and Bob Dylan, The Hobgoblins have sculpted their sound into something someone once described as "Funky Mexican Soul", which is as good a description as any!
The 'Goblins have already taken their unique live sound to the top venues around Ireland, as well as Electric Picnic and Oxegen, making a name for themselves as a crowd pleasing good-time band playing catchy, upbeat and original tunes.
They've already taken bookings for the summer festivals of 2012, and are preparing for their upcoming tour of Europe. They hope to release their eagerly awaited first album later in the year, after both of the bands independently funded and released singles went straight into the Irish Top 50 in their first week
Onwards and upwards 'Goblin style, gathering more momentum, believers and friends every step of the way!

Latest changes to planning for Gypsies & Travellers
In August 2015 the Government announced big changes to Gypsy and Traveller planning guidance, called Planning Policy for Traveller Sites (PPTS).
This was following a consultation they issued in September 2014, and this is the government's consultation response.
Our leaflet "Changes to planning for Gypsies and Travellers" explains what the changes are, how it might affect people and what you can do about it. Print friendly version here.
Challenges to these changes have to be made by 30th November 2015, so if you think you may be affected by these changes, please contact the Travellers Advice Team on 0121 6858677
In May and June 2016 FFT undertook a piece of research to ascertain if local authorities in South East England were meeting their requirements under the Department for Communities and Local Government's (DCLG) Planning Policy for Traveller Sites (PPTS) to identify a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide 5 years' worth of sites against their locally set targets.
The research found that:
Only 10 out of 66 local authorities had identified a 5 year supply of specific deliverable sites.
5 local authorities had no identified need for new sites.
The research found that up to 2033 a total of 1745 additional pitches are needed in the South East of England.
Guide to applying for planning permission
Once you have bought a piece of land you will need to submit a planning application to the Local Planning Authority (LPA).
If you need the help of a planner to do this, a list of planners who have worked on Gypsy sites can be downloaded here.
The most likely outcome will be that your application will fail. You must expect this and expect to have to appeal against the decision. This is very important as this is where things can get expensive that is, not counting the cost of the land, any landscaping you do and any services you might put in. You need to think about all of this before you even begin.
If you are on any benefits, like Income Support or Jobseekers Allowance, you may be entitled to free legal representation, however, it is very difficult to find solicitors willing and able to take this on. If you are on a low income and need assistance with your planning it may be possible to get help from Planning Aid, an independent organisation which assists people with planning issues.
Chapter 7 also offer free planning advice by telephone for smallholders, caravan dwellers and other low impact and low income people with planning problems. Their tel. no. is 01297 561 359
If you are not able to get free legal representation or help from Planning Aid you will need to employ the services of a private planner and if your case goes to appeal, it is likely to cost you several thousand pounds.
Once a planning application is submitted the LPA will assess your application. A planning officer will either recommend that it should be accepted or refused. Most Gypsy and Traveller planning cases will go to committee where local councillors will make a decision on whether you should be given planning permission or not. They can ignore the recommendations of the planning officer and make their own decision, which unfortunately more often than not is a refusal. You then have the right to appeal against their decision to the Planning Inspectorate.
At a planning hearing or inquiry, the Planning Inspectorate will look at the merits of your case. Your chances of success at this stage are better, although nothing is guaranteed. Your best chance of success at the appeal stage is if you have strong personal circumstances. This usually includes things like the fact that you have nowhere else to go (no other sites available to you) or you need to stay in the area for health and/or education reasons (your children attend the local school, you are registered with the doctor or you work locally).
For the purposes of the current planning policy (as of August 2015) 'Gypsies and Travellers' means:
Persons of nomadic habit of life whatever their race or origin, including such persons who on grounds only of their own or their family's or dependants' educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily, but excluding members of an organised group of travelling showpeople or circus people travelling together as such.
And 'Travelling Showpeople' means:
Members of a group organised for the purposes of holding fairs, circuses or shows (whether or not travelling together as such). This includes such persons who on the grounds of their own or their family's or dependants' more localised pattern of trading, educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily, but excludes Gypsies and Travellers as defined above.
Planning Policies
'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' is the current planning policy on the provision of caravan sites for Gypsies and Travellers, including Travelling Showpeople. It should be read in conjunction with the government's 'National Planning Policy Framework' which was published on 27 March 2012. You can download 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' here

Pooja takes up Minugu
Subscribe to Filmibeat
Antony Jayanth, who produces and directs the film, says Minugu is different from the two earlier films which depicted the unseen lives of actresses. Earlier, Kannada film Ranganayaki and Telugu film Shivarajini had effectively portrayed the life of actresses behind the screen.
Sunil Rao plays the role of an aspiring cycling champion, hailing from a middle class family. He is also the college friend of Pooja Gandhi who rises to the top as the number one heroine. Ajith Hande, who is a successful ad film maker, makes his entry into big screen by playing the anti hero in Minugu; lovely Akshatha Raghunath dons the role of second heroine. Pooja Gandhi has worked real hard and lost 4 kg to portray the role of the glamorous actress.

The Embryo
- S. Natesh
- , M. A. Rau
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
The discovery of syngamy by Strasburger in 1884 is an important landmark in the history of angiosperm embryology. Investigations on the embryo, however, had been initiated much before this event, soon after the observation of the pollen tube by Amici in 1824. Amici contended that the embryo developed from the germinal vesicle present in the embryo sac, and the pollen tube merely provided some kind of stimulus for its development. This view was strongly challenged by Schleiden (1836), who argued that the tip of the pollen tube itself, once inside the embryo sac, got transformed into an embryo. The subject soon developed into a major controversy and several botanists joined the fray, arraying themselves into two groups, some endorsing Amici's contention, and others defending Schleiden's opinion. The controversy raged for nearly two decades and it was not until Hofmeister conclusively demonstrated, in a series of publications from 1847 to 1861, that the embryo originated from a cell present in the embryo sac prior to the arrival of the pollen tube, thus vindicating Amici's view, that the controversy came to an end [see Maheshwari (1950, 1963) for references].

While many smartphones appear to squish virtually identical features into a variety of different form factors, E-TEN's X500+ (an upgrade to last year's X500) has a number of genuinely stand out features.
Key most amongst them is the device's integration of a VGA (640 x 480) resolution display. This is double the on-screen real estate of QVGA handsets – which still dominate the market.
Of course a high resolution display is nothing if there isn't software to take advantage of it and to this end the X500+ is also one of the first handsets on the market with Windows Mobile 6. Microsoft's latest pocket OS features more advanced versions of Office applications so if you suddenly receive an Excel spreadsheet to study on the go the experience should be considerably more user friendly.
Other noticeable highlights include a 2MP camera with built in auto-Macro mode a Namecard Manager which enables users to transfer business card details by simply photographing them and a proportionately design at just 113.5 x 60.5 x 15.5mm. On the downside there's no 3G – which would have been superb given the VGA display's greater capacity for web browsing.
That said as a little brother to the HSDPA and Qwerty thumb board equipped {linkout:http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-devices/news/2007/03/19/CeBIT-2007-E-TEN-Launches-HSDPA-GPS-VGA-Smartphone/p1 X800 the X500+ looks to do a fine job. When and for how much this 'fine job' can be done however I'm still waiting to find out...

UNA DE GATO BARK Uncaria tomentosa "Cats Claw Vine" - SOLD OUT
Uña de Gato (Cat's Claw) is a branching shrub with thorned, liana-like stalks. The older, lower branches yield a bark rich in medicinal compounds, including rhynchopylline, the ibogoid alkaloid corynantheine and the kratom alkaloids mitraphylline and speciophylline as well as potent antioxidant proanthocyanidins. Exported in ton quantities from Amazonia to Europe's herbal medicine industry. A common admixture to ayahuasca brews, native Amazonian healers have an intimate relationship with this "teacher plant" and know it to unify and balance the body and spirit. Traditional use for a wide variety of illnesses includes rheumatism, cirrhosis, dysentery, fungal infections and reproductive tract tumors. An immunofortifying tonic; clinics exist today in the Amazon where AIDS patients are being treated with extracts of the plant.
This herb has attracted enormous favorable attention among herbalists and clinical phytotherapists worldwide. Clinical studies are showing Uña de Gato to be a strong antiinflammatory, lower blood pressure, increase circulation and have strong antitumor effects. Western herbalists are utilizing the bark to support the immune system, help with Lyme's, parasites, gastrointestinal problems, viral infections, allergies and much more. A strong decoction can be made with 1–2 tablespoons of the bitter bark and drunk throughout the day, or the bark powder can be taken in capsules. We offer Uña de Gato leaf as well, which has much of the same value as the bark but is considered a more effective anti-inflammatory. It is the very finest available.

Hey everyone,
Have been browsing the forum for a while and thought I'd introduce myself seen as the 328 is looking nice and shiny after a good Autoglym session!
I have been on the E46zone forum for a while but thought I'd join here as it seemed more relevant to my new car.
Originally had an E46 328Ci which I loved but now its getting warmer I decided to fulfill one of my dreams and buy a convertible.
Didn't know what I wanted, thought of an A4, Saab 9-3... but after looking at them I decided against the idea as they didn't have the spec I was looking for.
So I did some research on the E36 convertible and came across one on pistonheads - travelled down to see it and ended up buying it.
Has some nice extras such as dual climate, 18 button OBC, cruise, white sports leather, chrome interior pack and full electric hood.
As I was going down a model I didn't want to be disappointed as my E46 had most of the options selected when new so I was happy when I came across this one as the specs were similar.
Anyway here she is:
Plans are :
New alloys - M3 Contours or Motorsports
New audio - headunit, speakers sub and amp
M3 lip spoiler
New rear window as it is very cloudy and hard to see!
Restore the hood and interior
Get some new mats
New exhaust
M50 conversion and remap
Freshen the bonnet, front wings and bumper up with a respray
With regards to the audio, I have attached 2 pictures of the speakers - could somebody kindly advise what size speakers I would need to buy to replace the OEM's?
And lastly does anyone know what should of been here?
Thanks in advance and hope to speak to you in the future !

Marc needs to understand hes pushing his luck in a bad way, he could have easily cracked his collarbone. Reply Report abuse 9 agree 6 disagree
