hey guys I lowered the car (MK4) last night and when taking it for a test ride discovered some clunking sounds in the rear when going over bumps. Never really heard this sound before thought it was my exhaust but checked that by trying to shake it and hitting it with a rubber hammer and nothing.
did some searching and think it may be the rear axle bushings. car has 325,000km and has been slammed for years so this is the only thing I can think of.
is there anyway to be certain that the bushing are toast, a quick way to check this?
thanks in advance!

Fans' favourite Tom Daley, one of the faces of Team GB, dived his way to a bronze medal last night in a contest from the 10-metre high board that went to the wire.
The 18-year-old said afterwards that his only regret was that his biggest fan, his father Rob, who died from cancer last year, could not be there to see him on the podium. "He would have been proud of me," he said, "This has been the toughest year of my life. It was a shame he wasn't here to see this. The medal means so much to me. I just can't believe it."
Daley scraped through the qualification stages but suddenly banished his nerves in the final to force his way into the lead at the start of the sixth and last round of dives. It was an improbable position after controversy surrounded his first dive. Judges upheld his complaint that he had been unfairly distracted by a rash of camera-flash bulbs from the 17,500 audience inside the Aquatics Centre and ordered a re-dive, permitting him a crucial chance to stay in contention with his rivals. US diver David Boudia and Chinese World Champion Qui Bo overhauled Daley's slender lead to take gold and silver. Despite this, Daley's delight was undimmed. "I gave it my best shot, I gave it absolutely everything," he said. "I was in the first place going into the last round but didn't have the degree of difficulty I needed. The main aim was to get a medal."
Campbell boxes clever in gold-winning final
Luke Campbell struck gold for Britain in the boxing ring last night when he triumphed in the bantamweight final over the Irish fighter John Joe Nevin. Campbell, 24, won a points decision 14-11 after a fiercely fought contest. The Hull boxer finally won a close fight when he forced the Republic of Ireland boxer to take a standing count after knocking him down in the third and final round.
After his victory, Campbell said: "I'm very emotional right now. The plan was to stay calm and stick to the boxing and throw my punches down the middle."
Before his win, Campbell said he was determined to win gold for his infant son. It was Team GB's second boxing gold, after Nicola Adams won a historic first gold in women's boxing last week. Campbell's success confirmed British boxing's best ever Olympic performance since Melbourne in 1956. Two more British boxers, Welsh welterweight Fred Evans and super heavyweight Anthony Joshua fight for gold tonight. Anthony Ogogo also secured a bronze for Britain in the middleweight division.
McKeever moves across water like lightning
The "Usain Bolt of canoeing" is a trainee accountant from Wiltshire. Team GB's Ed McKeever paddled his boat into a stiff headwind at a rate of three strokes per second to win the 200m kayak sprint in a searing time of 36.24 seconds, writes Ian Herbert. He raced at a speed of around 13mph. Bolt clears 200m at around 31mph, but he doesn't have to shift water while doing so. GB's head canoeing coach – Australian Brendan Purcell – estimates that McKeever clears 160 strokes in one minute. "I can't even move my arms that fast, let alone doing it in a boat," he said.
McKeever, asked how he felt about being associated with the Jamaican sprinter, did not demur: "Luckily I have the gold medal to go with it now. I am more worthy of that tagline." He said he had awoken at 5.30am yesterday "like a kid at Christmas … waiting to get my present".
He burst out in front when the eight boats set off, snatching a lead which he never looked like relinquishing. He sported the same type of aerodynamic top that the British cyclists have worn in triumph at the velodrome – evidence of the way the two elite sports have been sharing knowledge to gain marginal advantages in the Games.
McKeever's fiancée, Anya Kuczha, 26, revealed the extent of his dedication yesterday. The morning after proposing to her, he headed off to Australia for six months of training.
Purcell insisted the comparison with Bolt was not far-fetched: "From the point of physio-screening the guy is like a block of granite," he said.
Bronze leaves double kayakers breathless
An hour after McKeever took gold, Liam Heath and Jon Schofield won a bronze medal in the double kayak for Team GB, writes Emily Dugan. The pair took the country's second medal of the day after losing out in the 200m final to Russia, who came in first, and Belarus, who took silver.
Cheered on by a capacity crowd at Eton Dorney, which included the Prime Minister, David Cameron, the British kayakers took an early lead, but after 100m the Russians, Yury Postrigay and Alexander Dyachenko, stormed ahead to take gold.
"That was a really long race", Heath said afterwards, gasping for breath. "With a headwind like that, especially when you're going at that speed, it's really tough, but I'm so pleased."
Schofield said the medal was a relief. "The last few days have been horrible", he said. "We weren't happy with our heat and we were worried. But that start was amazing and we just about held on to get a medal."
Eighth place for GB's debut female mountain biker
Annie Last, the first British female mountain biker to compete in the Olympics for more than a decade, and a medal hope, missed out at the women's cross-country event yesterday, finishing in eighth place, writes Sarah Morrison.
The 21-year-old from Bakewell in the Peak District made a strong start, leading on the first six laps of the 4.7km route carved into an Essex hillside just 10 minutes from where her grandparents live. But the biker, ranked fourth in the world in a sport which only received Olympic status in 1996, finished two minutes and 55 seconds behind the winner, Julie Bresset of France, who secured her country's first cycling gold of the Games.
Last deferred her place to study medicine at Sheffield University to pursue cycling success. She said: "This is what I'm going to stick at for the time being and keep at it."
She added: "I'm really, really happy with my race … To be able to race at a home Olympics in front of a home crowd was incredible. The crowd was unbelievable. You can just feel the atmosphere and feel them pushing you forward."
Men's hockey players miss out on bronze hopes
Australia denied Britain's men's hockey team the chance to match the bronze won by Team GB's women on Friday, beating them 3-1 at the Olympic Park yesterday afternoon, writes Emily Dugan.
Just 48 hours after a humiliating 9-2 semi-final defeat to the Netherlands, GB's men had been hoping the play-off for third place would win them their first medal since 1988. But Australia took an early lead, with the one goal for Team GB coming from Iain Lewers after a penalty corner.
Just as Britain's hockey medals have dried up since 1988, Australia has had the reverse fate, climbing the podium at every Games since, taking silver in 1992 and 2004, and bronze in all the others.Reuse content

ARSENAL wonder-kid Theo Walcott has been put in the same class as Lionel Messi - and is tipped to become even better than Wayne Rooney.
The amazing praise came from Arsenal's other teenage prodigy Cesc Fabregas who says Walcott is the best prospect he has seen in the Premiership.
Walcott, 17, was Arsenal's Champions League supersub against Hamburg as he inspired their remarkable fightback.
And Fabregas compared his team-mate's prodigious talent to England star Rooney and Barcelona starlet Messi who is regarded as Argentina's most exciting talent since Diego Maradona.
Spanish star Fabregas, 19, who played with Messi in the youth ranks at Barcelona, said: "Theo is quite similar to Rooney in respect of his power and quality on the ball, and they always like to have a go at the opponent.
"Rooney has shown what he is capable of doing for United and England. Theo needs a bit more time, but he will do it for sure because he's a great player. Playing in the Premier League he's definitely the best young player I have seen. When he first came it was easy to see he had the quality. If I had to choose two players it would be him and Lionel Messi. I played with Messi at Barcelona and I know what he can do. They are the two best players I have ever seen at 16, or 17 years old.
"When he arrived at Arsenal I was surprised because I'd never heard of him. I don't really know the Championship so it was a nice surprise for all the lads here when we saw what he could do at 16."
Fabregas knows all about being in the spotlight as a teenager after making his debut for Arsenal at 16. But he insists the pressure is far greater for Walcott because he was signed in a deal potentially worth #12million and was also called up for England's World Cup squad before he had even played a game for Arsenal.
However, the midfielder says Walcott has proved he can handle the pressure and has even become stronger mentally by the whole experience.
"Going to the World Cup has definitely helped him," Fabregas added. "Even though he didn't play in Germany, he made his international debut before the World Cup.
"It was difficult after the World Cup because people put so much pressure on him. Sometimes the manager doesn't want to play him every week because of the pressure.
"Maybe in my case it was different. I am Spanish and nobody knew of me when I came here. He's English and cost a lot of money and maybe it's a bigger problem for him."
Fabregas believes the youngster will go from strength to strength with Arsenal as he emerges from being supersub to superstar.
He said: "His confidence must be so high at the moment and he has shown it again against Hamburg, even with 15 minutes to go he can make the difference.
"He's so quick and powerful for his age. he showed that once again for the third goal. When he made the cross I thought it was going away but he put it perfectly on Julio Baptista's head."

So with just under two weeks till my wedding, I am forcing my mom to tailor my vest with straps and Velcro...So far I have been taking progress pictures on my phone so I can brag to friends at work bout my Halloween costume and until tonight I have taken only two photos with the better half's digital camera, pictures aren't the greatest but its better then nothing.
I like the jango theme but changed it up a bit, instead of the sky blue flight suit thingy i got an actual navy/air force flight suit which I'm prolly gonna dye black, still waiting on the cash to hopefully buy a pair of those nice gauntlets from MoW, and will prolly ebay the shins/thighs/foot armor pieces then trim/design the armor going off the SWG mando version of this suit. slightly different on the thighs/shins, I also had left over from the beginning of the year was the chest/shoulder decals for boba, which i just threw in the appropriate spots, tried my hand at the weathering of all the pieces thus far but you gotta be up close and personal to see it =/
I also went off the standard color scheme for the jet pack but don't have any pictures of that yet, aside from the main color scheme I added black to the main body part vs the yellow (the main fuselage is still yellow but thats it)
A side note the big gun I got is a painted nerf gun quite cool.
So anyway here's the pics I gots...

If LeBron James' final season in Cleveland was the most important in Cavaliers history, then this one ranks second. They might not have realistic hopes of winning a championship this year, but the next six months can dictate the legitimacy of a title run as early as next season.
As the Cavaliers emerge from the darkness of a three-year rebuilding period, there are really only two plausible scenarios: They stay relatively healthy, make the playoffs as a lower seed and prove to the rest of the league — and more important a talent-rich, free-agent class next summer — that they're one significant piece from returning to the league's elite; or they suffer more debilitating injuries to some or all of the key players with lengthy injury histories, which would likely cause this season to unravel and send the Cavs tumbling back into the lottery for a fourth consecutive year.
It's a game of equal risk and reward, but it sure beats spending the winter counting Ping-Pong balls and lottery odds. For the first time since James departed, the Cavs begin a season with legitimate playoff aspirations.
"It's good for our guys. We want them to have the high expectations," General Manager Chris Grant said. "This is a pretty amazing place when you play deep into the playoffs. It'd be great to have the guys feel that energy."
Before worrying about a deep postseason run, the Cavs first must get there. Reaching the playoffs and showing significant progress from last season's 24-win team is crucial to maximizing next summer's potential.
They have a razor-thin window next summer to sign a free agent to a max contract while Kyrie Irving is still on his rookie deal. After next summer, the opportunity to acquire a max contract is more complicated, because the salaries of guys like Irving and Tristan Thompson — and eventually Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller — will start escalating.
The Cavs recently picked up the fourth-year options for Irving and Thompson next season, meaning they will be paying one of the league's best point guards $7 million — about half of what he would command on the open market.
If Irving stays healthy and has the type of season expected of him, he can sign a max contract next summer for five years and at least $80 million. For simplicity and sanity's sake, let's assume he accepts the max offer without asking for opt-out clauses (or rejects the offer entirely, something no player coming off a rookie deal has ever done).
The two most recent players to sign max contracts, John Wall and Paul George, did so without the opt-out clause made famous by James' draft class.
Any new deal for Irving, which should start around $13.7 million annually, won't kick in until the 2015-16 season.
Grant has been careful throughout this roster rebuild to protect his cap space. He used all of the team's available space during the summer to sign Andrew Bynum to an incentive-laden deal, but he maintained enough flexibility after this season to slide in a max contract for next year with minimal maneuvering.
The team holds options for next season on both Earl Clark and Alonzo Gee, the two current small forward candidates. They are scheduled to make a combined $7.5 million next season. Only about half of Anderson Varejao's $9.8 million contract for next season is guaranteed, and if the Bynum experiment fails, the Cavs can decline his option for next season and free up another $12.5 million.
Of course, if the Bynum project is a success, he will be the second piece (alongside Irving) in the Cavaliers' attempts to create their own Big Three.
Who would be that third piece? It could be James or another member of this free-agent crop. If James leaves the Miami Heat, Chris Bosh is a candidate to leave South Beach, too. Carmelo Anthony is already on record as wanting to test free agency next summer, then there are guys like Luol Deng, Pau Gasol and Rudy Gay — all of whom are still impact players who can become free agents next summer.
The summer of 2010 provided a seismic shift in the NBA's landscape. The potential of next summer's draft class and free-agent pool creates the formula for another dramatic shakeup.
"The free-agent market all depends on what happens in Miami and whether they opt out or if there is movement there," NBA analyst Steve Kerr said. "It's shaping up to be a big-time market next year."
Even if they can't land a marquee free agent, the Cavs still have enough young players and draft picks to complete a trade similar to last fall's blockbuster that sent James Harden to the Houston Rockets. The Cavs were high on Harden, but weren't a fit because they didn't have the pieces the Oklahoma City Thunder sought, specifically a shooter/scorer like Kevin Martin. Those types of trades are incredibly difficult to execute because of the timing of contracts and team needs. For now, there doesn't appear to be a "Harden trade" available to the Cavs — although landscapes shift quickly in the NBA.
"Just like they were preparing and clearing cap space when Dwyane [Wade] and Chris and LeBron were coming up, I can see general managers doing very much the same thing with this 2014 class," NBA analyst Reggie Miller said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing when you get a franchise, marquee player. It can change your fortunes and your team's fortunes in a hurry."
For three years, the Cavs have made all the right moves off the court while floundering on it. Beginning this season, all of that has to change.
In Kevin Durant's third season, the Thunder transformed from a 23-win team to a 50-win team and made the playoffs for the first time. In James' third year here, he made the playoffs for the first time and the Cavs won 50 games — although the leap wasn't as dramatic (they won 42 the year before).
In Chris Paul's third year, the New Orleans Hornets went from a 39-win team to a 56-win team, and Paul made the playoffs for the first time.
This is Irving's third year in the league, and this is the third year of the rebuild. The Cavs are on the clock. Thankfully, it isn't at the draft.

Car stalling out when coming to a stop.
I made this in the general tech chat forum but I figured I might as well post it here as well considering its a duratec.... Ok so my car has had issues firing right up for a while now, I was starting to think my fuel pump was going out, but from what little bit I've read on here, this seems to be a common issue. However, that's not main reason why I'm here. A couple weeks ago it started cutting off whenever I would come to a stop(redlight, stop sign, etc.), electronics would surge at an idle(if the car didn't cut off), I would sometimes have to jump it off and my charge light came on. So I took it to a shop and they told me it was the alternator. I decided to replace it myself. I start undoing everything and one of the first things I came across was a broken ground wire(I'm assuming). It comes off the wiring harness that is connected to the fuel rail and bolts to the power steering reservior bracket. So I go to a junkyard, get the wire and swap it out. The charging light went out but all of the other problems still existed. So I take it to a different shop someone reffered me to to get a second opinion and they told me the same thing, alternator. So I went ahead and replaced it, charged my battery back up and now I'm still dealing with the cut off issue. Oh yea, if it helps, before all of this other stuff started happening, whenever I was low on fuel(say 1/8th of a tank or lower) and I would go around a sharp left hand curve or say an on-ramp with some speed the car would act like it was trying to cut out, like it was being starved of fuel.
I also need to note that in addition to the stalling issue, the rpm's are moving around a lot between about 200 and 1k. I have seen a few other threads with this same issue but I honestly dont know where to start to figure out the problem. Fuel filter and spark plugs have both been replaced within the past year. So what should I check next?

Challenge to hear community
As the daughter of the late Edward Schuch, former Ward 1 city councilman for two terms and Wooster City Fire Chief for 11 years (with the department for 34 years), I am speaking up on his behalf and for the south side of town that he cared deeply for.
He worked very hard to bring equality and fairness to the south end of town. Many may not remember the north/south injustices that occurred, but having lived through that and watching my father change the community's perspective, I can honestly say if he were with us today he would be adamant about recommending that Lincoln Way Elementary stay open.
Having the school close will definitely divide the city like it was years ago. As a former LW graduate I remember the stigma of being from the south end.
My father helped implement Safety Town and helped get the Kiddie Safety Town for Knight's Field. He was also part of the hiring team for Mr. Mann, the principal of LW. My father knew they made the correct choice as he watched Mr. Mann transform LW from having troubled, hard to reach students into a school where every student learns and has a positive educational experience.
Not only did Mr. Mann and his staff do great things with in the school but also in the neighborhood. They created a safe place for students to go when they needed help.
For example, one snowy evening a 5-year-old boy was kicked out of his house by his mother. He packed his clothes in a garbage bag and headed to LW with no coat or shoes. Luckily, a staff member found him huddled by the front doors. He went to the only place he knew that could help him. If LW is closed will, these kids really travel clear across town wearing no shoes on a late, snowy evening?
I challenge the board to listen to the community that has clearly spoken in favor of keeping LW open and ask them to reject Dr. Tefs recommendation. (By the way, if LW is good enough to keep open for the summer program, then it should be open for the entire year when the learning really takes place).

Many memories at Wayne
I was very saddened to read that during the Wooster City schools reconfiguration, Wayne Elementary School would be closed.
I understand completely the reasoning behind this choice, but I'm thinking from a purely personal heart.
Four generation's of my family have attended Wayne elementary. I have spent many, many incredible hours there with incredible teachers like, Mrs. Cook, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. Davis and so many other wonderful people.
My mother is now in heaven, Lauretta May Myers was her name when she attended Wayne. All three of my children, and 11 of my 12 grandchildren went to Wayne Elementary. Myself and my two sisters, and my brother also attended there. What great memories.
I hope Wayne can be used for some other community function, and will not be torn down. It is a great older school building. May God bless all the great teachers that have served us proudly at Wayne.

Programs to be lost with closing
To board members: I write to ask you seriously reconsider the recommendation to close Lincoln Way. I'm most concerned about the educational impact each child will endure by this recommendation. There are so many programs in place that cannot be replicated at other schools. I have highlighted two specific programs below.
The "Catch Up Growth Reading Program" is one of those programs. Dedicated staff members have been trained and engaged for three years to help students at and below grade level in K-3 grade catch up as measured by the OAA Reading in the fall and spring of third grade. This program model takes effort, time, consistency and the dedication of staff members to gain statistically valid (and remarkable) results.
In 2009-2010 scores went from 31 percent in the fall to 70.5 percent spring. In 2010-2011 scores started at 55 percent (a 24 percent increase from last year) to 80 percent in the spring. Funding for this type of program only goes to schools who have a significant number of families living at or below the poverty line.
This is exactly the type of program that will be lost and take years to regain if you close Lincoln Way. Why would you want to break the record of academic achievement already in place?
Lincoln Way teacher's aides are trained by Title 1 experts to lead reading programs throughout the day. In first grade alone, seven aides work with children in small groups to help them achieve a higher reading level. Every kindergarten student receives 1/2 hours of intervention daily to help them hone many skills sets in reading and math.
Again the funding comes from Title 1 because of the dire need of the students at Lincoln Way. This program could not exist at other schools because of the funding eligibility. Why would you want to take this early intervention program away?
The leadership and staff at Lincoln Way have truly built a trusted rapport with parents. Daily conversations with parents take place informally at the beginning and end of each day in front of the school. Mike Mann and many staff members go out of their way to stay engaged in the lives of these children well beyond the classroom.
There are some students who would not make it to school regularly without these trusted interactions. Don't close the door on these children.

Lincoln Way is fine example
The proposed closing of Lincoln Way Elementary School is deeply concerning. My perspective is that of a recent College of Wooster graduate, moved away from Wooster, but with a strong desire to remain connected to the community.
Lincoln Way is largely responsible for this connection. I served as a volunteer tutor with Lincoln Way's literacy program from fall 2008 until graduation in 2011.
Lincoln Way provides many double services to the Wooster community; children get the support they need to achieve and college students have the opportunity to engage in voluntarism for the benefit of the community. My service with the literacy program was phenomenally influential in my life.
Working with a student spanning the semester, it was gratifying noticing improvements in reading and confidence over just a few months. I knew, as well as fellow volunteers knew, that we were doing important work helping children develop the reading skills they need. Lincoln Way taught me lessons about patience, responsibility to others, and dedication.
In large part due to my involvement at Lincoln Way, I serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA writing grant proposals to fund educational support systems for children from lower income families.
This year, almost 91 percent of Lincoln Way students receive free or reduced price meals through the National School Lunch Program, with Cornerstone and Parkview at around 70 percent and 50 percent. Disadvantaged school populations are rising.
It seems illogical to dismantle one of Wooster's most effective schools for serving the needs of children from lower income families. Wouldn't it be better if Lincoln Way served as an example for schools trying to adapt teaching styles to changing demographics or interested in implementing similar programs?
There's no formula for creating the success LW has seen. So much depends on the context of the institution; the quality of the teaching staff is a big part of it, but the size of the student population and its central location in the student's own neighborhood are important factors that are impossible to replicate.
The teachers are likely making the highest impact exactly where they are, serving students they are passionate to teach. Parents rely on before school and after school programs for safe supervision, healthy meals and snacks and for homework help for their children.
It seems tragic that a decision like this would hurt many of Wooster's poorest residents, not just those Lincoln Way students to be displaced.
Grace Bowman
Moving kids would be 'tragic'
The closing of Lincoln Way Elementary School in Wooster greatly concerns me. I volunteer every week at the Lincoln Way Reads program so I have firsthand experience with the school, the students and the teachers.
I realize the school does cost a vast amount of money to run, especially with the meal program; however, the school has over 94 percent poverty rate. They depend on having lunch and walking to school.
I have met many of these children and have heard the unfortunate and sad stories they have been willing to share with me. It would be tragic to see these children put into a bigger school, where more money would have to be spent on their transportation.
Furthermore, the teachers I have worked with at Lincoln Way have the biggest hearts. They truly care about each and the well-being of every one of their students.
I truly hope the board of education members will reconsider their decision to close Lincoln Way. If they do not, they will be making a decision with will impact all of the students and families more heavily than they realize.

UAW on Givebacks: 'We Have Given at the Office'
In the next few months, United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger will be at the bargaining table with management at General Motors (GM) and Chrysler, as well as the federal government, to hammer out a deal that will restructure the industry. While Gettelfinger has always managed to get something for his union though tough bargaining, this time might be different.
If the Obama Administration wants the same givebacks that President Bush has asked for, then Gettelfinger may have to cut the union's tightly held paid layoff clause, wages, and benefits. BusinessWeek Detroit bureau chief David Welch sat down with Gettelfinger at the union's Solidarity House headquarters in Detroit on Dec. 18. In the following interview, Gettelfinger defended his union members' pay and says that the cost for retiree benefits can be managed. Here are some excerpts:
How much more are you prepared to give when the government comes calling?We have given at the office. The [health-care concessions were] a considerable reduction in 2005. Last year we gave even more. The men and women of the UAW were hailed for that agreement. We have more than stepped up. Labor is 10% of the cost of a vehicle, and everyone wants to squeeze another drop of blood out of the workers.
The government may ask you to make even more concessions than you have. What is the union's relevance if you keep conceding pay, benefits, and job security?Workers in foreign-nameplate factories recognize the value of the UAW. They know that if the UAW goes down, their compensation goes down. We're not ashamed to say that Toyota (TM) workers make more than us if you figure in their bonuses. We're here for a cause, and it's not just our membership. We're working for everybody we can.
Toyota's cars sell for more, on average, than American cars. One can argue that they create more value and, hence, should be paid more. Should you take a pay cut because of that?So we agreed that $14 an hour is the new entry-level wage for new workers.
But because the carmakers are downsizing, they haven't been able to hire anyone at that new wage.That's why we have to do something to get the economy started now.
If you have to give in on health-care coverage and accept a greater share of the cost for your members, will you do it?I can't negotiate in the media. I'll have to wait and see what the government wants.
You have a VEBA [health-care trust] coming in 2010. But the companies may not have enough cash to fund it. How will you manage to keep from having to renegotiate benefits?We're willing to stretch out the 2010 cash obligations for the companies. The deal includes some equity instead of cash. Look, this retiree obligation gets painted a few different ways. What's wrong with being socially responsible? We're not going to have someone who worked for us all of these years and just throw them out in the street.
The hearings in Washington proved that your union has no shortage of critics. How do you respond to them?The men and women of the UAW get grease on their hands every day. We need to march some of the critics into our facilities. Nine of the 10 most productive plants in the U.S. are UAW plants.
Do you like the idea of Chrysler and GM merging up?No.

What is the recovery time following eyelid fold surgery?Patients who live in the New York City and New Jersey areas have a number of choices when it comes to plastic and reconstructive surgery. However, patients who are considering an experienced plastic surgeon with expertise in Asian ethnicities should consider visiting Dr. Edmund Kwan. His practice is focused on providing solutions for patients who are seeking subtle or dramatic improvements to their appearance using surgical procedures. A popular treatment offered in his practice includes eyelid fold surgery. This is a common treatment for patients of Asian ethnicity, as many Asians struggle with large folds and bulky eyelids. Eyelid fold surgery is done to help reduce these concerns and enhance one's natural beauty. However, many patients are curious about the recovery time needed after this surgical intervention and what they can expect after it has been completed.
The recovery time after an eyelid fold surgery ranges between one to two weeks. The stitches made on the inside are dissolving type stitches, while those on the outside are removed within three to four days following the surgery. The patient may appear puffy for a couple of weeks, but most patients start looking presentable in about 10 days. The recovery time also depends on the type of skin and the type of swelling that a particular patient has. Dr. Kwan advises most of his patients to schedule around two weeks of downtime and healing for an eyelid fold surgery, but it takes over a month for their real natural look to get restored. Patients should also have realistic expectations regarding the results and can ask Dr. Edmund Kwan for before and after photos of previous surgeries done in his practice.
If you are of Asian descent and are considering eyelid fold surgery to rejuvenate your appearance, contact Dr. Edmund Kwan today to schedule an initial evaluation and consultation visit. This is a wonderful opportunity for patients to learn about the procedure and determine if it is right for their specific needs and desires. Patients are encouraged to ask questions they have regarding the surgery and what can be expected before, during, and after the procedure.

Dr. Kwan is by far the most talented surgeon I have EVER crossed paths with. I came to Dr. Kwan after an under eye fat transplant, performed 'by another' plastic surgeon, which deformed my face. It was only until I was under Dr.Kwan's care that the deformity was corrected. Dr. Kwan literally gave me back my beauty. This was a priceless feeling. That was about 4 years ago, I can assure you ever since- Dr. Kwan is the ONLY plastic surgeon I trust my face and body to. I look forward to my body contouring procedure coming up in a few weeks!! :)

The staff treated me very kindly, with respect and genuine smiles. Dr Kwan is a real professional in my opinion. He took the time to listen to my story, addressed my concerns and took his time to walk me through the process and give me his opinion and explanation on his recommendation. I had my surgery in his practice and we went over everything again before I met up with the anesthesiologist, who was equally as nice and professional as everyone else at his practice. We started counting bikes ... and after bike #6 I fell a sleep. When I woke up, he was there to tell me I did great and before I knew it I was in a taxi cab back home with my best friend who came to pick me up. So I don't know if this is typical, but I had no pain whatsoever after the surgery. . I am very very happy with the results. Dr Kwan did an amazing job and I couldn't be more pleased.

I was involved in an automobile accident last May, 2013. The outcome from the emergency room left me with 5 stitches on the bridge of my nose, and the tip of my nose was missing due to the severe impact of the accident. I called and scheduled an appointment to visit Dr. Kwan so he could assess my nose. Upon arriving to the office, I was immediately impressed with the facility, service, and professionalism of his staff. Dr. Kwan met with me and examined my nose and in detail, he explained the approach he would take in order to get my nose like brand new again.On the day of my surgery, I was met by Dr Kwan, who performed the surgery, himself. His Anesthesiologist was very informative and professional as well. The outcome of Phase 1 was a success. In addition to that, the staff even called my medication into the pharmacy that way it would be ready as soon as I left the office. My nose is 98% back to normal, I now look forward to Phase 2 to be completed. After that procedure is done I am positive my nose will look absolutely perfect and I will be back to my confident self again. Thanks Dr Kwan and Staff.

I have had several surgeries with Dr Kwan, and would recommend him highly. Liposuction of abdomen and love handles came out smooth. Upper eyelids look younger and refreshed, and the Basal Cell Cancer he cut out of my nose is not even visible, despite the fact that it was right along the rim of my left nostril.

T. Cannon
I have been using Dr Kwan for over 10 years now. I have had many different procedures and all of them have turned out great. One of the breast augmentations had a crimp in the left breast and he had no problem going in to revise it to assure my satisfaction. I have always liked the way he answers each of my concerns and we go over everything for each procedure I've done several times to assure we are on the same page :) Take a list of any questions or concerns and I guarantee you will love your results no matter what procedure he is doing for you! .

Was lots of fun and I was able to rope them into sharing a bit of their history and their love story. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Thanks for the post and concerns - certainly well-presented and well-received. A few points (repeating Jason in some cases):
The software will have a conservative rev limit to prevent exactly the problem you mention. The rules have a big nod to enforcable compliance. We could say no software, but that is not something you can police and you just widen the gap from those that follow the rules (I know - all of us) and those that still have the money for custom tuning. We will improve the performance of the car to make people spending the money for it happy that they are getting something, but the reason this made the cut was purely for the compliance aspect.
The V2 rules do allow oil pump modification - agreed on this point.
Agree on the harmonic range and track issues - have experienced it a lot before. The stock piece is great, but the goal was light (you can drop 25# here) and fun (a revvy motor is fun - as is a clutch that doesn't break). I was on the side of keeping the stock flywheel and allowing a performance clutch (that is about $600). We discussed normal lightweight flywheels and I agree that is not appropriate or not what I would use because of the clutch demands and loss of damping (which also cushions the clutch). Then I worked with a company to come up with a true race clutch, aluminum solid basket, 7.25", 0.236" discs (5 year typical service life), steel flywheel but light and low MOI, and all for about $1250 - same price as the aluminum flywheel/stock-style clutch on the table. When you get that end of the engine light things get better that they are when they are a little lighter than stock (minus the DM). This should be a solid, cost-effective solution.
The balancer is on the table, but we think we can avoid the expense in the rules by containing the issue with the above steps. I am working hard on our car and it will be the test dummy. The goal is to have a solid, robust driveline and if we have issues after some hard running, we will take this step. I think everyone hates adding to the build price by adding it now, but I suspect that is still debatable.
At the end, Jason and Evan are making the decisions and I helping to provide answers and options, so this is one for them to expand on or discuss as needed.

Welegedara to Strauss, OUT, Welegedara has struck, he's removed the England captain, a short of length ball that nipped in, Strauss was coming across the stumps and looking to whip the ball to the leg side, he misses and is struck just above the knee roll, pitching outside off and hit him in front of middle, replays show that was going on to hit the top of middle and leg, Strauss ponders asking for the referral, but then decides against it, and Sri Lanka have made an early breakthrough
AJ Strauss lbw b Welegedara 4 (14m 12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
Lakmal to Trott, OUT, is it an early end for the run-machine? we have a referral, yup, Trott's gone, that was pitching just short of a length around off stump, no great movement, Trott looks to clip it to the leg side, he misses and is struck just below the knee roll in front of middle, replays show it was going on to hit leg, Dilshan will be delighted after all the questioning over the decision to bowl
IJL Trott lbw b Lakmal 2 (13m 9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 22.22
Lakmal to Pietersen, OUT, England are three down, Pietersen is gone to an athletic catch from Dilshan at gully, length ball outside off, moves away a touch and Pietersen was reaching for that one, gets the outside edge which flies towards Dilshan, who flings himself to his right to pouch that
KP Pietersen c Dilshan b Lakmal 2 (10m 8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00
Welegedara to Bell, OUT, edged! Straight to Paranavitana at first slip. Finally the edge carries off Bell's bat. Once again, Welegedara got the ball to leave the batsman off the pitch, and the line was such that he had to play at this one. Good bowling, and Bell's stay is cut short at 52. That'll lift Sri Lanka
IR Bell c Paranavitana b Welegedara 52 (148m 106b 8x4 0x6) SR: 49.05
Fernando to Cook, OUT, and there's the wicket, the inevitable Cook century is not to be, it was a shortish ball, Cook went for an adventurous pull, top-edges it towards mid-on where Maharoof takes the catch, he is a dejected man, at least no one can argue that he was playing for the milestone
AN Cook c Maharoof b Fernando 96 (281m 164b 15x4 0x6) SR: 58.53
Lakmal to Morgan, OUT, appeal first ball! Morgan is struck on the pad, Lakmal is convinced, but the umpire says no ... hang on, they're going to review this. That's taking leg stump out of the ground, and Morgan is out! It pitched in line, moved enough to beat the bat but not enough to take it down the leg side.
EJG Morgan lbw b Lakmal 79 (167m 128b 10x4 2x6) SR: 61.71
Welegedara to Broad, OUT, gone! Finally a breakthrough. Broad plays across a straight ball and that's stone dead. Much like Strauss yesterday he fell across the shot slightly. He asked Prior about using a review but was told how out it was.
SCJ Broad lbw b Welegedara 54 (73m 51b 9x4 0x6) SR: 105.88
Welegedara to Swann, OUT, gone! Sri Lanka take a catch at slip although the keeper almost messed it up. Well bowled by Welegedara from round the wicket, Swann pushed hard outside off and Paranavitana held on despite the keeper diving in front of him.
GP Swann c Paranavitana b Welegedara 4 (3m 5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80.00
Herath to Prior, OUT, finally, Sri Lanka have removed Prior. He swipes across the line at a straight one from Herath, a real slog sweep, but misses it completely and the ball clatters into off stump. Prior exits to standing applause, he's done really well to guide England past 450
MJ Prior b Herath 126 (195m 131b 19x4 0x6) SR: 96.18
Herath to Finn, OUT, and that's that! Finn was having a go before lunch, and though he played some good shots it was only a matter of time before this happened. He swings, head high, right across the line and is clean bowled. Herath has his second, and England are all out for 486
ST Finn b Herath 19 (29m 32b 4x4 0x6) SR: 59.37
- Overs 1-50

Harbhajan Singh vice-president, industrial relations of Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, says that the frequency of labour trouble has increased in last 2-3 years and is posing as a threat to the business environment.
Below is the edited transcript of his interview to CNBC-TV18.
Q: Another massive protest rally was organised today? Will this affect the industrial environment, which has already been vitiated on account of what we have seen happen at Maruti and previously even at companies like Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI)?
A: This was ongoing in the past also but the frequency has increased in last two-three years. A large number of employees stay in Gurgaon where thousand of workers of different factories also stay in close proximity. What is happening is that, whenever there is any issue where some pressure can be applied on management then even the central trade unions take the lead, try to show solidarity and organise rallies.
Q: The incident of these rallies is clearly gone up and as a leading automaker in that region are you not worried at the increasingly volatile situation? How are you gearing up to deal with this?
A: What is happening today is that, a small company which employs 200-300 workers and if the management takes any action against indiscipline worker then it becomes a big issue and spreads like fire in the region.
There are instance where we saw that companies having 200-300 workers are seeing gate meetings of 1000 workers in front of company gate which poses a threat to the management staff and senior team members. This type of support boost the morale of the handful few troublemakers and then things at times moves out of hand.

Diddy Renames His Supreme Team
Early in June, Diddy recruited Busta Rhymes to join his latest crew — the Supreme Team — which already consisted of members Fabolous, Red Cafe, Rick Ross and DJ Khaled. But during an interview with UK journalist Tim Westwood last week, Diddy revealed that he had plans to change the name of the group.
On Friday, Diddy made the official announcement about the group's name change on Twitter, explaining that the "Supreme Team" was already taken. "Due to another group owning the name supreme team, in efforts not to hurt their business we have decided to change out name to the Dream Team," he wrote.
The Dream Team has not revealed any plans for a group album in the near future, but individual members are all slated to release solo projects within the next few months. Busta Rhymes is currently at work on sequel to his 1998 album 'E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front.' 'E.L.E. 2′ is expected to see a July release, along with 'Last Train to Paris' from Diddy and 'Teflon Don' from Rick Ross.

Georgia's Cory Holman Sets UGA Heptathlon Record, Bulldogs Win Six Events
Jan. 28, 2012
Razorback Invite - Full Result
Mark Colligan Memorial - Full Results
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. --- Georgia senior Cory Holman shattered the school heptathlon record en route to earning a trip to the NCAA Indoor Championships at the Razorback Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., on Saturday.
Holman, a native of Huber Heights, Ohio, piled up 5,809 points to top the former school record mark of 5,700 points set by Tommy Barrineau at the 2010 SEC Indoor Championships. Holman finished third following the seventh event as Arkansas freshman Gunnar Nixon recorded a new World Junior record (6,022) points to win.
Also on Saturday, a majority of the Bulldogs competed at the one-day Mark Colligan Memorial in Lincoln, Neb. Georgia tallied six wins and registered scores of season-best and personal-best marks.
"A lot of our people had the best performances of the year and a few had personal-best efforts," said head coach Wayne Norton. "So I think we are making progress."
Starting with 3,316 points after the first four events on Friday, Holman had three career-best efforts during the heptathlon, including a 14 foot, 1 ¼ inch clearance in the pole vault. He wrapped up his competition by taking seventh in the 1000-meter run with a time of 2:45.39, which is the second-best time of his career.
Holman shot out of the starting blocks in the second day of action and won the 60 hurdles with the second-fastest time of his career. He clocked an 8.02, which was .18 hundredths faster than any of the other competitors and the fastest for him since he won the same event at the 2010 Razorback Invitational (7.93).
Holman reached the 5,750 NCAA automatic qualifying mark for his event, making him the first Bulldog in 2012 to accomplish the feat in any event.
"(Cory) is getting better and improving each meet," said Norton. "With our history of training, he's going to get even better as the season progresses. I think he will put himself in position to close the gap with the people who are ahead of him in the standings."
Freshman Garrett Scantling also finished ninth in the heptathlon (5,380) and moved to No. 4 on Georgia's all-time top-10 list. In the first full heptathlon of his life, Scantling had six collegiate personal-best efforts, including taking fourth overall in the high jump with a 6-9 clearance.
"Garrett is just a freshman getting introduced to the event so we know he will improve," Norton said. "He pole vaulted and did a little high jump in high school and our coaches looked at him and knew he could be a successful guy in the multi-events."
The Bulldogs had additional success at the Mark Colligan Memorial. Senior Torrin Lawrence clocked the second-fastest 400 time in the nation this year to win the event by more than a second with a 46.89. This was the fastest time for Lawrence since the 2010 NCAA champion recorded a 45.96 to take second at last year's nationals.
"Torrin said `this isn't where I want to be but it's a lot better than where I was' so his progress is not going unnoticed by us or him," said Norton, who also saw freshman Chris Foster take third in the 400 with a 48.60. "If he keeps progressing like this, he could be at the top of this event again when the postseason gets here."
Lawrence and Foster also joined freshman Drew Branch and Eric Mills on the winning 4x400 relay team as they completed their laps in 3:11.72.
Junior Saniel Atkinson picked up her first win of the year in the high jump after clearing 5-9.75. Atkinson also had a third-place finish in the triple jump (39-9.35).
"One of our goals was for Saniel to win the high jump this weekend so we are pleased she got there," said Norton. "She had some six-foot jumps today and although she skipped a height and probably through off her rhythm a little, I think she is making progress in getting to the level she wants to be."
Another victor for the Bulldogs was sophomore Justin Welch in the weight throw. Welch launched a season-best effort of 67-2.75, the second-longest throw of his career, on his final throw to move to No. 8 on this year's national performance list.
"Welch did not throw what he wanted to throw, but this puts him up there on the national performance list," said Norton.
Sophomore Hilenn James also had a season-best performance to tally a win in a shot put. James opened with a mark of 50-6.25 to edge her nearest competition by four inches.
On the track, sophomore Waymon Storey notched his first collegiate victory after having a time of 21.29 in the 200. His junior teammate Eric Harris was second in the race after finishing one hundredth of a second slower at 21.30 and moving to the sixth spot in the Bulldog record books.
The Lady Bulldogs had four competitors in the 800 and all had success. Sophomore Megan Malasarte finished second with a 2:09.68 after having the same finish in her season opener with a 2:09.09. Freshman Carly Hamilton took over the 10th spot on Georgia's all-time top-10 list with a fourth-place finish (2:11.12) for fifth place.
In addition, sophomore Stella Christoforou (2:11.53) finished seventh and freshman Brooke Koblitz (2:16.36) was 13th in the 800.
"This is Megan's second time under 2:10 which is making her consistent at the sub-2:10 level and that is encouraging this early in the year and in her career," Norton said. "All of the 800 runners are starting off at a high level this year, including the two freshmen."
Freshman sprinter Justin Scott-Wesley, who redshirted for the Bulldogs on the football field in 2011, also made his way onto Georgia's all-time top-10 list. Scott-Wesley sped to a 6.80 mark to finish second in the 60 prelims and tie for ninth in school history. Scott-Wesley was fourth (6.85) in the finals while Harris finished third (6.84).
Also of note, sophomore Graylin Ward had his first fair mark in the high jump, taking third with an effort of 6-8.25.
In addition to the heptathletes' performances in Fayetteville, Georgia had a pair of triple jumpers also finish in the top five. Senior Aaron LaGarde worked up to a mark of 51-7.75 on his sixth and final attempt to take third.
On the women's side, senior Colleen Felix, who is the defending SEC indoor champion, took fourth as her sixth try measured 41-3.25.

One of the most expensive parts of animating characters in today's gaming climate comes from renting a studio and/or paying a third-party contract group to carry out motion-captured animations for a project. It can be a timely and costly venture depending on the game and the sequences that use full motion-capture.

December 31, 2016
The close of another year is upon us. For some, it was record-breakingly good.
One thing that is true across the board, this was a year fraught with ups and downs -from higher prices, from employees feeling more confident about leaving for something better, political crisises around the globe and yes, from Amazon.
Did you miss some opportunities? I know I did.

Future wagers will be available for the first time on this year's eight Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championship races.Each race will offer 23 runners plus one entry for the rest of the field. Two pools will be offered each for the Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I), the Breeders' Cup Distaff (gr. I), and the Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I). One pool will be offered on the remaining races. The win-only wagers will be offered over four weekends with up to three races available at a time. The minimum wager is $2."We think the Breeders' Cup Future Bet will be a very attractive wagering option for fans throughout the second half of the year and heighten the significance of divisional races that are part of the Road to the World Thoroughbred Championships," said D.G. Van Clief, Jr., president of Breeders' Cup and vice chairman of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. "If we can get people thinking about the Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships earlier in the year, it will help make a big day that much bigger come Oct. 26 and enhance the event's stature in the broader sports marketplace."The future bet schedule is as follows:* July 4-7: Classic, Distaff, and Sprint,
* Aug. 9-11: John Deere Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. I), Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. I), and Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. I),
* Aug. 30-Sept. 2: Classic, Distaff, and Sprint,
* Sept. 20-22: Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I)"We've tried to schedule the pool dates late enough to include European horses in the pools and to allow handicappers to develop informed opinions on the eight races, but early enough so that potentially lucrative prices can still be secured on the horses of their choice," said Ken Kirchner, senior vice president of product development for the NTRA/Breeders' Cup. "And with two separate pools offered on the Classic, Distaff and Sprint, fans will have double the opportunity to scope out their favorites in three of our most popular betting races."Daily Racing Form will provide full past performance lines in all editions for all days the Future Bet is offered. The Form also will conduct special seminars with DRF handicappers at selected NTRA member racetracks. Equibase will be offering racing fans a chance to track future bet horses through its free Virtual Stable e-mail notification service found at ntra.com and equibase.com. A similar Virtual Stable enhancement established for this year's Triple Crown has attracted almost 10,000 new subscribers since being introduced in mid-March.The Breeders' Cup will be run at Arlington Park near Chicago. The championship's location in Illinois made the future wager possible this year because the state has a more flexible regulatory structure.

Set in New York City, LAST NIGHT is the story of a married couple, who, while, apart for one night, are confronted by temptation that may decide the fate of their marriage. Joanna (Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley) and Michael Reed (Sam Worthington) are seven years into a successful and happy relationship. They are moving along in their lives together until Joanna meets Laura (Eva Mendes), the stunningly beautiful work colleague whom Michael never mentioned. While Michael is away with Laura on a business trip, Joanna runs into an old but never quite forgotten love, Alex (Guillaume Canet), and agrees to have drinks with him. As the night progresses and temptation increases for the couple, each must confront who they are inside and outside of their relationship. Last Night is ultimately a film about choices – the choice you make to be with someone, to give yourself to them physically, and emotionally, and how to survive after you've made your choice.

Collar tie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Double collar tie)
|Collar tie
The wrestler on the left has a collar tie
|Clinch hold
Collar tie is a grappling clinch hold that is used to control the opponent. It is performed from the front of the opponent by grabbing the opponent by the collar, behind the neck, or behind the trapezius muscle. A collar tie using one hand is called a single collar tie, and a collar tie with both hands is called a double collar tie.

Re: Question about a gennaker no pole
Expand Messages
- There really is no problem gybing acruising spin with no pole once you get the hang of it.
You can rig the sheets for outside gybe which I prefer but it increases the chances of losing a sheet under hull. Inside gybe is less "smoothly reliable" but sheets can't fall in water.
To gybe, turn down and ease at same time. When nearly DDW you want the clew to be flying just fwd of the forestay. Grab the 'new' sheet and pull quickly while completing your turn quickly. Boom done.
Spin flies well off the forestay even when flown off the bow, not an issue.
I DO NOT use shackles on spinnakers. Knots are simple, lightweight, and don't snag on things, including your noggin... I don't use shackles on jib clews either...

I'll hard copy your reply/suggestions/experience/advice and put it into the log for future reference. Immediate job for Jun/July is to get the jib furling system up and running. So, spinnaker project comes after that. By the way, what have you decided to do with your genoa. My guess is that you leave it in the sail bag now. I sail out of Racine WI on Lk. Mich....BUT, I would be willing to drive several? 100 miles if necessary to see your spinnaker deal first hand. Where are you?

This gives me the ability to pull the tack right to the bow of the boat or let it fly about 12 ft off the bow. This allows me to run the spinnaker without a bowsprit ... not the best, but easier than adding a bowsprit. I have seen some people use a spinnaker pole lashed to the deck extended forward of the bow as a bowsprit, but there was a lot of lashing to keep the pole down.

These are run outside of everything (stay's, forestay, etc), then back to turning blocks at the back of the boat and onto winches. Basically the spinnaker is rigged as a large jib with the lines running outside.

> > To raise the spinnaker: Turn the boat onto a broad reach. Pull the spinnaker up in the sock using the spinnaker halyard. Set the tack of the spinnaker to about 6ft off the bow (I have it marked on my tack line) so it is loose. Leave both the sheets loose. Pull the spinnaker sock all the way to the top. Then set the spinnaker appropriately for the wind conditions with the tack and the active sheet.

You might need to let the spinnaker fly a little higher by releasing the tack if it is too close to the bow. Let the active sheet go as you gybe through the wind. The spinnaker "should" go forward of the forestay and allow it to be pulled over with the other sheet. Let the main out as soon as possible after gybing through the wind. As long as you have a "bit" of wind the spinnaker will go outside of everything over to the new side. Set the tack and new active sheet.

The spinnaker collapses on a run and the boat heels too much as I go onto a close haul. If I have crew this year I'm going to try flying the jib at the same time as the spinnaker on a beam reach to get some "more" speed.

Alternate forms of prose passages for the assessment of auditory-verbal memory
Sullivan, Karen A. (2005) Alternate forms of prose passages for the assessment of auditory-verbal memory. Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 20(6), pp. 745-753.
|PDF (152kB)
Logical Memory (LM) is the most frequently administered subtest from the Wechsler Memory Scale; however the lack of alternate equivalent forms for this subtest may limit its clinical utility. Six new paragraphs modelled on LM stories were developed. Stories were matched on attributes such as number of words and readability. Passage attributes for the six stories were compared with those of standard LM stories (WMS-R and WMS-III versions) to examine story equivalence. The psychometric properties of new passages were also calculated to assess task difficulty and interrater reliability. Results from these analyses suggest a high degree of overlap between the attributes of the new stories and some interesting discrepancies between passage attributes of WMS-R and WMS-III LM stories. In addition, interrater reliability of new passages was found to be excellent (at least .97), and when combined into three sets of passage-pairs, these pairs were found have equivalent difficulty. To reduce the potential for practice effects by use of alternate forms, these new logical memory-style passages may be particularly useful for repeat assessment of auditory-verbal memory.

Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
