Four Of The Biggest Fast And Furious Falsehoods
Today the United States House of Representatives will vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. The push for a contempt citation followed a lengthy investigation by the House Oversight Committee into Holder's supposed role in the failed ATF Fast and Furious operation, in which, according to whistleblowers, the agency allowed guns to be trafficked across the border as part of an investigation intended to take down a Mexican drug cartel.
Throughout the investigation members of the right-wing media have engaged in numerous distortions about Fast and Furious while sycophantically parroting allegations made by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee. Below some of these narratives are examined and debunked.
Fast And Furious Was Not Conceived By The Obama Administration As A Nefarious Plot Against The Second Amendment
The National Rifle Association is one of the primary promoters [1] of the conspiracy theory that Operation Fast and Furious was designed to create violence in Mexico, which in turn would be pointed to by the Obama administration as the justification for more restrictive gun laws, a bizarre claim that has gained a solid foothold in the right-wing media's Fast and Furious narrative. Conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh has frequently told his listeners [2] that the failed ATF operation was a premeditated "attack on the Second Amendment," citing this theory.
But none of the people promoting this theory have ever provided any hard evidence to prove its existence. Townhall News Editor Katie Pavlich breathlessly hashed out the conspiracy theory in her book, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and its Shameless Cover-up, on the shaky premise [3] that the fact that some members of the Obama administration have supported gun violence prevention measures was evidence enough of an anti-Second Amendment plot. But even Fox News host Bill O'Reilly dismissed such claims as a "conspiracy thing." And for good reason; the "evidence" offered by Pavlich and other promoters is circumstantial and the theory's logic entirely speculative. In fact, Obama has expanded [4], rather than restricted, the right to carry a gun during his first term.
President Obama's Assertion Of Executive Privilege Does Not Mean That He Was Involved In The Design Or Management Of Fast And Furious
When Obama asserted executive privilege over a set of internal Department of Justice (DOJ) documents on June 20, Fox News was quick to push the narrative -- straight from the GOP spin room [5] -- that the president's use of privilege implied something sinister was afoot at the White House. As Happening Now guest host Gregg Jarrett put it [6], "If the president was not involved then executive privilege does not apply. If the president was involved, then three things, either Holder was not telling the truth in front of Congress, and or the White House was not telling the truth when it denied the White House and the president were involved, and the president himself may have not been telling the truth when he made statements."
There are two problems with this argument. First, Obama only asserted executive privilege over documents generated after February 4, 2011. Fast and Furious was terminated in January 2011. According to the letter [7] that DOJ sent to Obama asking the president to assert his privilege, the documents in question "were created after the investigative tactic at issue in that operation had terminated and in the course of the Department's deliberative process concerning how to respond to congressional and related media inquiries into that operation."
Secondly, presidents have traditionally asserted executive privilege over matters in which they are not personally involved. When President George W. Bush first used executive privilege in December 2001, he acted to shield internal DOJ documents [8]. In a separate instance in 2008, his Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, advised the president that he could shield Environmental Protection Agency documents [9] because "[t]he doctrine of executive privilege also encompasses Executive Branch deliberative communications that do not implicate presidential decisionmaking."
No Evidence Top DOJ Officials Were Aware Of Controversial Tactics Allegedly Employed During Fast And Furious
While a purported goal in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Fast and Furious is to uncover any high level Department of Justice officials who were aware that agents were allegedly allowing guns to "walk" across the United States border with Mexico, such an official has yet to be identified. Members of right-wing media [10] have pointed to a set of wiretap applications that Republicans say describe the gun walking tactic. Democrats who have seen the documents, which remain under seal, say the tactic is not described [11]. The Republican's word was good enough for conspiracy theorist [12] Andrew C. McCarthy, who recently appeared on Fox News and discussed the wiretap applications as the basis for his speculation that top officials were involved.
As Media Matters has previously noted [13], even if the wiretap applications did detail gunwalking tactics, DOJ has consistently said that top DOJ officials don't actually review the documents, but rather summaries composed by line attorneys that deal solely with the necessity and probable cause of the wiretap.
House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa (R-CA) has even acknowledged [14], in testimony before the House Rules Committee, that he has "no evidence" or even a "strong suspicion" that Holder was aware of the gunwalking tactics allegedly used in Fast and Furious.
DOJ Has Attempted To Satisfy Congress' Subpoena
The most prominent conservative media figure shamelessly cheerleading [15] the Republican investigators is Daily Caller "reporter [16]" Matthew Boyle. One line [17] that frequently appears in Boyle's reports is "Holder has demonstrably failed to comply with all 22 parts of a congressional subpoena that House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa served him last October. With respect to 13 of the subpoena's categories, Holder has provided no documents. He is not fully compliant with the subpoena's other sections, either."
The assertion in the Draft Resolution (p. 14) that the Department [of Justice] has provided documents only for 10 of the 22 subpoena items is incorrect. In fact, the Department has produced or made available for review documents responsive to 16 of the 22 subpoena items. As to 13 of these items, we delivered the documents to the [House Oversight] Committee or made them available for staff review (subpoena items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, and 21). We provided access to documents responsive to three additional items (subpoena items 15, 17, and 18) in the course of briefings on sensitive law enforcement matters on October 5, 2011 and on subsequent occasions, as referenced in Section IV(C) below. We have not located any documents responsive to a 17th item (subpoena item 3). The documents responsive to the five remaining items (subpoena items 8, 9, 16, 19, and 22), as well as additional documents responsive to the other 16 items of the October 11 subpoena, pertain to sensitive law enforcement activities, including ongoing criminal investigations and prosecutions that raise significant concerns for the Department, as discussed in Section III(A) below, or are materials generated by Department officials in the course of responding to congressional investigations or media inquiries about this matter that are generally not appropriate for disclosure, as discussed in Section III(B) below.
Additionally, this past week DOJ "promised to provide hundreds of pages of documents [19]" describing how DOJ initially reached an inaccurate conclusion when describing tactics used in Fast and Furious in a February 2011 letter to Congress if the House Oversight Committee would halt the contempt proceedings. This offer was rejected by Issa.

Listen – The Original Sandy Survival Miracle [Interview]
It all started only two days after Superstorm Sandy – I got a text message from a friend with a picture of a heartwrenching note. It was written by a victim of Sandy, only known as "Mike". From reading the note, it looked like Mike hadn't survived. It was literally his goodbye message to his father and the world. And then things got really dramatic.
Here's the original note that I received:
At first, I wasn't quite sure what to do with it – was it a hoax? A joke? Who was it actually written by? At this point, nobody that I had spoken to about it really knew what became of "Mike".
I decided to take a shot in the dark and call the phone number on the note. Astonishingly, not only did I get through to Mike's dad, Tony, but the next words out of his mouth shocked me even more:
"He's right here, would you like to speak to him?"
Of course I said yes. I immediately went into "journalist mode", hit record in the WOBM studio, and captured one of the most amazing interviews that I've ever had in my career:
Of course, most of us now know the story of Mike Iann, a story that truly went viral, from major national news outlets to worldwide media. Mike's story captivated the world.
Last night, however, was probably the most in-depth look that we got into exactly what Mike went through, on The Weather Channel's "Hurricane 360″.
Mike's story was one of a number of harrowing stories featured from Ocean County locals who survived Sandy. For many of us who watched, it was a stark reminder of just how bad it was.
But, I also think that it's a testament to our strength. We've come a long way in almost two years. We still have a lot of work to do, and the shadows of Sandy can still be seen in Ocean County, but we are a resilient community who have shown that we can survive the worst.

Windham band director's love of music pays off
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent | August 27. 2014 8:41PM
Windham High School band director Jared Cassedy is a quarterfinalist for the Grammy Foundation's music educator of the year award. (Courtesy)
That love of music could carry Cassedy, the Windham High School band and district fine arts director, to the stage of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles later this year.
Cassedy began playing piano at the age of 6 and later picked up the clarinet. At Salem High, his passion for music and education was further fueled by band director Martin Claussen.
"I love my job, I love music, and I love teaching music," he said. "Music and fine arts are a great conduit for students to be able to find themselves."
Music and the arts provide a mix of collaboration and introspection and create an outlet for expression that cannot be reached in other ways, Cassedy said.
"It reminds me of how lucky I am to work in a district that supports the arts," he said.
Each semifinalist receives a $1,000 honorarium and a $1,000 donation to his or her district's music program.
The winner is flown to Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards and receives a $10,000 honorarium and the same amount donated to the music program.

The Strongest Man is not available for watch at CineRill yet. Please come back later.
Genre: Comedy
Robert Lorie
Paul Chamberlain
Ashly Burch
Kenny Riches
Duration: 99 min
Quality: Unavailable []
Release: Jan 24, 2015
IMDb: 1.0
I saw The Strongest Man at the Sundance Film Festival and found it to be a well-crafted, multi-faceted critique on the economic divide that festers in American cities like Miami, Fla.
It tells this tale largely through its hero, Beef, an undeniably Strong Man on the outside who wages an inner battle against his insecurities.
The Strongest Man accomplishes its feat by telling these stories without bashing you over the head. The film lacks any hint of pointed rhetoric and dialogue on these important issues that, though no doubt tempting to insert, could condemn the film to the stockpile of preachy, too-cool-for-school films that prove little besides how smart the writer is.
The debut acting performances of Robert Lorie (Beef), and Freddie Wong (Jimmy Woon),seem to be on point with the tone and aesthetic that director Kenny Riches was aiming for. And the score and cinematography are outstanding.
Taken together, the film shows a Miami no less beautiful than the glossy magazine advertisements showing luxury condos on South Beach, but one that is far more real. There is, The Strongest Man shows, a corner of this gilded beach city where real people struggle to live their lives in the shadows of immense wealth and privilege. And in Beef's case, the dude just wants to ride his beloved bronzed BMX bike.
If not a metaphor for Beef's battle against his inner demons, the bike and Beef's high riding IQ might be symbols illustrating the need for simple pleasures-I daresay childlike pleasures-in a world that can be far too focused on material stuff, like amassing collections of fine art and agonizing over the placement of a painting.
The film does contain a few moments of close dialogue that, to me, could have used some touch-up work. This rough edge, though, is hardly a definitive feature of the film.
In the end, The Strongest Man reminds me of some of Wes Anderson's films that, while possibly falling short by Hollywood blockbuster narrative standards, is nonetheless a beautiful, emotional and entertaining ride.

Reality TV Shows
Reality TV arose as a named genre of programming in the 1990s with the introduction of a number of series that featured the unscripted interactions of ordinary people, as opposed to actors or celebrities. Early reality series were a unique form, but the genre has expanded to include shows that infuse other genres-game shows, documentaries, etc.-with unscripted elements.
The earliest reality series were ground-breaking in that they stepped outside the conventions of traditional programming in an attempt to focus on the real lives of their characters. MTV's The Real World, arguably the first modern American reality series, featured a group of non-actor young people living together in a house; the group's daily activities were filmed via cameras scattered throughout the house, and there was no script or plan for how the events in the house would play out.
Very quickly, aspects of reality TV were adopted into other types of shows. Survivor merged reality TV with the game-show genre; participants in the show were engaged in a competition, but their interactions were filmed and presented in manner that emphasized the unscripted drama between them. This hybrid reality-game show became a very popular subgenre, and it eventually encompassed a wide range of competitions, including those involving music, dance, cooking and weight loss.
The reality formula eventually evolved to include unscripted shows that claimed to present the every-day lives of celebrities. Other reality series followed the professional-and, to a certain degree, personal-lives of ordinary people such as police officers, fishermen or others in hazardous occupations. The reality genre also sometimes connects itself with fiction genres, as in paranormal-investigation series, where real-life investigators go about their business and the show attempts to use their activities to generate suspense.

I think I might know what's causing the problem...
I'm using ARP mains studs and the oil pump housing needs grinding to clear the stud adjacent to the pump on the rear main cap. I thought I had clearanced the housing sufficiently, using the pump I removed as a template to work to. Unfortunately, it's virtually impossible to get eyes on the stud/pump relationship with the engine in the car and working under the car on axle stands. I tried as best I could to inspect this area with an articulated inspection mirror and a bright light and I
it looked OK. However, I now have a theory that the pump housing is hung-up ever so slightly on the stud as perhaps I didn't
remove enough material from the housing when I clearanced it. This would cause the oil pump drive stub to be at a v.slight angle relative to the oil pump prime tool. Under load, this slight (probably only 1* or less) angle would show-up as vibration through the prime tool into the drill.
The only problem with this theory is I can't figure-out how that could cause the pump to feel very notchy/jerky when simply turning it slowly by hand with a screwdriver. Perhaps interference between the drive shaft collar and the oil pump drive stub, since the collar is a fairly snug fit? Although I can't think of anything (without the distributor installed) that would constrain the oil pump drive shaft in a dead straight line.
I'll drop the pan again and see what I can see (damn PITA).

Thats your opinion, to me its the issue of today/tomorrow. Its the
main way hackers are going to hack corporations in the future. It'll
be the basis of many an incident for response teams to handle. You
may not be on my mind set but i've been at this game a while now, and
I try and warn corporations weekly of the threat of wireless hacking.
Employees of Yahoo Inc have been taking pictures of cars outside at
Sunnyvale, this is also a security risk for them. However Yahoo fail
to see what I see, and thats a major breach in security where
employees are helping hackers to identify cars belonging to
employees/partners/day visitors and students who visit Yahoo. .
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ycantpark Yahoo aren't doing an internal
investigation into those behind this Flickr account and my calls for
it to be shutdown have been ignored. New pictures are published
The photos are ment to be showing cars in bad parking positions but
the wireless threat outweighs that of bad parking. The owners of those
cars didn't get a choice to weather thier car and number plates were
published on the internet by Y employees who are ment to be
responsible adults?
Funnily the responsible adults did hide the telephone number of
"mission control" but didn't see the problem in publishing the cars
themselves and the number plates of those cars in full display on an
intended public Flickr account.
This issue has been on-going since an employee working for Yahoo
Search published the link to the Flickr account on his high profile
Within hours of his blog entry being published I attempted to IM him
to ask him to remove the entry, he ignored me. The media then picked
up on the blog entry, but only running the story in the context the
blog entry intended (bad parking), however no one to date, apart from
me has raised security fears on the situation.
After being ignored by the blog author, I later made attempts to
contact Yahoo to have a full internal investigation into those
employees behind the Flickr account. Those employees to this day
remain anonymous, and updates to the Flickr account have been made,
signaling that no actions behind the scenes have been taken to stop
future photos of cars outside of Yahoo being published on the internet
without full consent by the owner of the automobiles featured on the
Flickr account.
The blog entry which sparked this off is still online to this day.
The Flickr account is still being updated and no one is listening to
my calls for it to be shutdown.
Security at Yahoo don't see the security threat posed here. I know different.
Its now August and i've been trying since June/July 2005 to get
something done, before Yahoo gets hacked because of these Yahoo
employees who are putting these pics online.
International hackers will end up using these pictures to compromise
computers within Yahoo's HQ.
Don't wait for the worst to happen before something is done. Take
preemptive measures now.

Immanuel Kant (April 22, 1724 – February 12, 1804) was a German philosopher and scientist (astrophysics, mathematics, geography, anthropology) from East Prussia, generally regarded as one of Western society's and modern Europe's most influential thinkers and the last major philosopher of the Enlightenment.
Kant moved beyond both empiricism and rationalism by expounding a Transcendental philosophy. Unlike epistemology which asks, "How do we know?" and "What do we know?", transcendental philosophy asks, "What are the grounds and conditions for the very possibility of knowledge?"
"For philosophy of religion Kant raises complex questions about 'experience'. Can we separate what we think that we experience from how our minds order and interpret that experience?"^[1]^

FLOWERY BRANCH — Jerious Norwood practiced Friday for the first time this week, but the Atlanta Falcons are unsure if the second-year running back will play at Carolina.
Norwood, who left last week's home victory over the San Francisco 49ers with a right ankle injury, is listed as questionable for Sunday. The former Mississippi State standout, a backup to starter Warrick Dunn, has averaged 5.9 yards per carry.
The Falcons (2-6) believe that tight end Alge Crumpler will be ready to face the Panthers (4-4) after listing him as probable.
Knee and ankle injuries sidelined Crumpler against New Orleans and San Francisco, marking the second time in his seven-year career that the four-time Pro Bowl selection missed two straight games.
Crumpler, who led the team in receiving the last three years and has played in 104 of Atlanta's last 108 games, has practiced each of the three days players and coaches were on the field this week. His participation, however, has been limited.
He's back
Defensive end John Abraham so dominated Travelle Wharton that Carolina's left tackle limped off the field in the second quarter at Charlotte and was finished for the season.
Before kickoff, Abraham told Wharton not to take their battle personally. Both are former South Carolina Gamecocks, but Abraham warned his friend that he might have trouble moving as the game wore on.
"I would never try to hurt another player," Abraham said. "That's not how you play the game. The way you do play the game is to go 110 percent on every snap and try to beat whoever's trying to keep you from getting to the football."
Abraham, who had signed a contract worth $18 million in guarantees after the Falcons traded a first-round draft pick to acquire him, had six tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass breakup against the Panthers.
An injury to Patrick Kerney, however, forced Atlanta to keep Abraham on the field for most of the game, and the Falcons paid dearly for their lack of depth.
With the outcome decided, Abraham injured his problematic groin and was never the same in 2006. He underwent surgery to correct the problem in Canada during the past offseason, and he looks like the player who earned three Pro Bowl invitations in six years with the New York Jets.
"I feel good," said Abraham, who has six sacks, 22 tackles, three passes defended and three forced fumbles this season. "That's always been the thing in my career, just to stay healthy. If there's nothing wrong with me physically, I believe that nobody can beat me."
Oh, no, not you again
The Falcons have lost four of their last five against Carolina. In the four defeats, Panthers running back DeShaun Foster trampled them for an average of 130 yards.
On 92 carries, Foster gained 5.8 yards per attempt.
"Plain and simple, we can't let him or any running back beat us like that," Atlanta linebacker Michael Boley said. "He's a great player, and we respect his ability, but we have to hold our ground and make them throw the ball more than they want to."
Foster hasn't worked alone. His backup, second-year veteran DeAngelo Williams, gained a combined 129 yards on 32 carries in the last two games between the NFC South rivals.

By Brian Rice BRISTOL, Tenn.
By Brian Rice
BRISTOL, Tenn.-- The ninth meeting between Tennessee and Virginia Tech won't be just another game.
Two of the state of Tennessee's biggest traditions came together on Monday morning as an idea decades in the making finally became a reality. Tennessee will face Virginia Tech on September 10, 2016 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The only sporting venue in the state larger than Neyland Stadium will play host to what officials anticipate being the largest crowd in college football history.
In prerecorded comments, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam summed up the event in a perfect statement.
"After years of asking 'what if?,' you said 'why not?'"
The idea of the teams playing isn't new. Dating to the early 90s, the idea of bringing the two schools to the midway point between them, which also happens to have a place to put 150,000 fans, was often discussed, but never accomplished.
"Hats off to both administrations, Tennessee and Dave Hart," Butch Jones said. "That's the vision we talk about with our athletic program and our football program. That vision to constantly move forward and now to make this a reality and be a part of college football history is just another illustration of what's going on at Tennessee."
The excitement for the event is already high from the anticipation from years of talk for UT fans, but outside of Vol Nation, the national attention is on the size of the event. 150,000 fans for a college football game will far exceed previous records, and the opportunity to be a part of something that will capture the attention of the entire sporting world has Jones excited for the opportunities that will bring to Tennessee.
"To be a part of not just college football history, but football history, what a great experience for our fan base, our University, but also for our student-athletes," he said. "This is why you come to Tennessee to be a part of something as big as this."
In the traditional style of Speedway Motorsports Inc., fireworks and confetti rained down as the logos for the event were unveiled.
"It's amazing that right here in the middle of NASCAR country and college football country, that we can come together to celebrate now that becoming a reality," SMI President and COO Marcus Smith said.
ESPN NASCAR and college football broadcaster Dr. Jerry Punch, who served as master of ceremonies for the press event summed up the day with words that are both exciting and familiar to Volunteer fans.
"Wherever you are on September 10, 2016, it's Football Time in Bristol, Tennessee!"

Mazda Protege5 Questions
Get answers to questions about your Mazda Protege5 at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
I spun my tires on gravel a few days ago and right after the check engine light came on giving the knock sensor error code. The engine also appears to be leaking oil but I can't tell where its coming from. It is also leaking very inconsistently and the check engine light doesn't stay on all the time. Help?
Brakes have been a problem and Mazda technician found the left rear caliper to be badly worn and leaking. Right side is in better shape. They do not rebuild. Should I replace both rear calipers at once?
been sitting 1 yr. added fuel additive, using prem fuel, changed spark plugs, wires, coil packs, HELP
just changed the radiator and thermostat and when flushing I noticed oil in the coolant
When I come to a halt at a red light my car stutters. If I don't keep the RPM's at 1000 the car will stall. I've replaced spark plugs and wires, but the problem has yet to disappear. Any ideas to what may be causing this problem?
Also would anyone know where I could get cheap parts like bumpers, fenders etc?
With the engine running if I open the oil fill i see positive pressure. Is this normal? Also there is an oil leak at the valve cover gasket (I guess as a consequence )
My car won't shift any higher than second gear
I recently went to get my oil changed and found out there was splitting on the inner side of the two back snow tires. I looked at it and since the tires were about 3 years old, I decided to replace them. The head mechanic told me he was going to order me all weather tires and put them on the next day. He did so and the car drives great. However, I am concerned that once winter hits, the car is going to start spinning out easily since the two back tires aren't snow tires (my dad has had issues with this when he still had this car). The mechanic told me it shouldn't be an issue however I would like a second opinion from anyone who can help! Especially since I could bring the tires back and then upgrade to two more snow tires.
I have a mazda protégé 5 I change all the coil sparkplug and wires fuel pump and filter but the car still misfires when y push the gas start misfire but whe goes to 200 rpm runs good
It used to stick in park and neutral. Now whenever I stop driving it won't engage park or reverse. It doesn't stick anymore and it shifts into gear, just won't engage.
Car runs fine and idles fine but vibrates in park and in drive, like when you stop and vibrates worse in reverse but also not moving.
Retapp & re thread kit available?
broke alternator belt and timing sensor on crank replaced everything found 12 inches of black wire broken free from somewhere . now the car will not start i have have no spark
on the coil wires is there another sensor to tell the engine where the number one cylinder is
The check engine light comes on at the same time. .I had it checked, it was the speed sensor so I changed it. . Nothing else came up. . Then the next day Both the AT light flashed and the check engine. . Then they went off again
The check engine light came in and at the same time the TA light flashed. .I had it check and it said the speed sensor had to be changed, nothing else. . We change the speed sensor.. The light is off and then the next day the check engine light came on and the TA light flashed
Didn't pass a safety due to my brake failure indicators...what are all/any possibilities and what would i need to fix it?
I heard there was a pulley issue for this model year. Not sure which pulley, and what type of alignment problem it is to know if I can make any modifications. It's not a "simple task" to change the belts on this model. let alone when it breaks or comes off, your stranded ( as it also turns the water pump ) unless you get somewhere quick before it oveheats.
my macnice change these parts thats i wrotre on top but problam still in car when stop intersciton no exilator car do vibration and feel like engion going to shut off
when it is blinking car engine does not die but stepping on the gas makes no differance in car speed. once light goes back to solid on or off it runs fine. Toyota dealer did the 90,000 mile service made no differance they could not find the cause of the light coming on.
Auto zone coded read the engine and came up with code P0300 both before the service and after ( Random cylinder misfire detected )
engine sputtered...stopped car then started again, the engine revved and accelerated..was able to get car to slow...drove about 200 yards process repeated...but did not accelerate. I was able to drive home. Mechanic says it has a PO300 code but the car is driving fine. I had driven the car up a steep grade to and from and errand. I had a similar incciden occure several years back when I parked the car on a sleep incline...it misfired but resolved. Any ideas.??
when slowing down and depressing the clutch my car stalls and i have to restart it again. i sometimes will have to do this a few times. sometimes the lights will go dim and the car won't start again until i let it sit for about 10 minutes
Check engine will start blinking every time I go faster pass 60 mph or when trying to accelarate faster; the check engine starts blinking and will lose power, just wouldn't go even if you step on the gas. My mechanic does not have the interpretation for the code, saying need to bring to the dealer,(which will cost me arm and leg).
I need to clean the contacts
Think someone tried to break into car marks on front passenger rubber and torn slim Jim makes weird sound when use key or remote. Today my window was being rolled up and heard a crunch like glass breaking and window will not stay up how much is this going to cost and can I fix?
my check engine light came on and the code was for the coil pack. i replaced them both. before the light came on my car was losing power in first and second gear and hopping a bit. after i changed the packs it got way worse. i have to keep the rpms atleast 2300 just to keep the car from hopping. the check engine light turned off when i changed the packs so i have no way of checking codes. it is my only car and it is driving me insane.
When I start my car after its been sitting for a while (after a few hours have passed) a giant cloud of white smoke comes out of the tailpipe and it doesnt stop until the car warms up. I have to replenish the oil every four to five days. It seems to drive fine for the most part. But sometimes it feels like its pulling a bit. Ive had it checked out several times and no one can find the problem. I was told that they would have to open up the engine to find it... I got a quote of $3000 just to do that. Has anyone had this problem? Or can someone tell me what it could be? Do I need a whole new engine? Thanks for helping.
Can I run over size tires on my 2003 Protege5 195/55/16 or will they rub.

Definitely don't worry!
My acupuncture-induced relief was short lived indeed. I was already feeling pretty sick again by the time I went to bed. This morning I do feel possibly a little better than I did yesterday morning, but I still feel pretty terrinle, and can't imagine eating anything. Preparing food for my kids is equally tough, as are dishes. . . yuck.
I'm about to try and force down some toast. (Sorry for mentioning an actual food!).

Get Amped to Camp
Sure, camping is fun in its own right. Nothing beats the smell of campfire and sleeping under the stars. But what makes camping truly great is how it really makes you appreciate the rest of your life. A shower never feels better than when it's your first one in four days.

DIY - 1.8t Lower PCV Hose install
You are all familiar with it. It's the second crappiest hose setup on the 1.8's, coming in just behind the upper Y hose. Eurojet just came out with an *excellent* replacement that is well worth the time and effort to replace. I hate doing things twice (except my 2nd timing chain is coming on strong) so do this once and don't worry about it again. Here's how you do it. Click on the pics for a supersize version.
Parts Required
- new Lower PCV hose (EuroJet recommended!)
- new PCV valve (optional)
Tools Required
- Flashlight
- Blade screwdriver or 8mm socket (for clamps)
Note: As always, I can't be held responsible if you break more hoses while doing this. Please be careful!
A treatiese on one time use clamps. They suck and they truly are one time use only. To get them off, insert a blade screwdriver in the opening and twist back and forth until you spread the clamp out a bit. Pull the lip down and out, and you can get the clamp off.
1. Examine the new lower PCV hose. Attach the aluminum coupler and tighten the hose clamp down. Put the other hose clamps on semi-tight, so they don't fall off.
2. Disconnect the lower PCV hose from the crankcase ventilation hose (affectionately called the "Upper Y Hose")
3. Disconnect the PCV valve from the lower PCV hose. The valve is under the intake manifold and hard to see. It should be connected to the top of the lower PCV hose.
4. Disconnect the lower engine block connector from the block. To do this, you will need to pull out the locking clip, and pull up on the connector. Remember there is an O-ring inside the chamber, so don't loose it or break it
4.b. You may find it helpful to unplug the white connector to give you some work room. No, I don't know what it does.
4.c. Stick your hands under the mass of wires and hoses like this to help you get access.
4.d. Finally removed!
5. Now realize that you broke the plastic lower engine block connector trying to remove it from the old lower PCV hose. Curse in disgust and liberally apply plastic epoxy to fix. Look at pretty burlesque girls while you wait for the epoxy to dry.
6. Insert the plastic lower engine connector into the new eurojet hose and tighten the hose clamp. You will need to angle the connector as shown to make the PCV valve line and the upper Y hose line up properly.
7. Work the lower hose into place and re-install the lower engine connector into the block. Don't forget about the O-ring and the locking clip.
8. Install the PCV valve into the upper T on the new lower PCV hose and tighten the hose clamp.
9. Snake the long end of the lower PCV hose however you like through the jungle of wires, but make sure you can connect it up to the upper Y hose as shown.
10. Tighten down on the hose clamps for the upper Y hose.
That's it! I'm not a 1.8t guy but I hope this helps out.

Additional SkillsWhen he speaks, it's an event™
Doug de Nance is a most unique talent with an award winning history in two distinct voice work disciplines. Doug regularly records voice over projects for clients around the world while also performing consistently as a live event announcer - most notably (or notoriously) as the voice of monster truck shows. As a result, Doug provides his clients a skill set not typically found in voice over alone - a thoroughly experienced, well trained voice over professional combined with a live announcer's abilities to quickly adapt and dramatize.
Industry AwardsLive Nation Monster Jam Announcer Award 2007
Referees"I have to say that Doug de Nance is one of the most flexible forms of talent that I have the pleasure of working with. I lead the production team at TELUS and Doug not only brings the right voice, he brings the right mix of charm and professionalism to work. By always coming prepared and ready to voice, Doug helps my people win with our productions."
Nicholas Cartmel, TELUS
"When we had our first real national advertising talent change in five years it was important to find the right feel. Doug can do the spectacle of sound with the best in the biz, but we were looking for a normal guy... professional normal mind you… Doug nailed it with his range.
Brian Carnwath, Taco Time
"Doug is a special breed of voice talent though....I admire incredibly his ability to perform as the voice for Monster Truck Shows for the last 30 years. Doug has the ability to hit the darkest of places like no other....however he can also take us on a friendly journey. He knows how to turn on the ladies with his baritone pipes yet use his acting skills when realism is called for and sound like 'everyday guy'...but believe me, his baritone pipes are worth listening to. He's an incredibly hard worker, crafty and knows exactly what he's doing. It is without hesitation that I recommend Doug deNance.
Debbie Munro, Mic 'n' Me
"Doug developed an audio marketing piece to promote my financial planning practice. From concept to completion, Doug was meticulous in getting it done right. I was very pleased with the end result and the overall experience."
Richard Sheppard, Investors Syndicate
"Doug is an incredibly skilled voice over artist with impeccable skills. With his amazing voice along with his top of the line studio - you know you will always get the very best when you work with him. I highly recommend him for all of your voice over needs."
Michelle Summers, VP, VoiceCasting - Partner, VOplanet
"Doug is that voice that when heard, one immediately thinks "Now that is a special talent!". He definitely takes the job of announcer/commentator that many think of as a pretty easy job- and makes everyone realize that it takes great skill and talent, and that he has that talent. Doug treats every event he is hired for seriously and never 'phones in' his work. Great amounts of effort are dedicated to research, production and proper execution. I certainly hope I never have to go head to head for a job with Doug- I would surely come in second!"
Cory Stem, Loud and Clear Marketing
"I started working with Doug when I was launching my company. Doug is an artist and a true professional. We were looking for a unique branding of our company and Doug surpassed all of our expectations. If you want the best in the industry Doug is your man. His voice is pure magic.

Some of our favorite causes are likely because of our educator roots: Schools Plus, in-class financial literacy education, and 0% AG Loans to 4-H and FFA students. In the past three years, Community First has helped to raise or contribute thousands of dollars for local schools. Moreover, we have conducted more than 150 in-class financial literacy presentations, reaching over 3,000 students from grades six through 12.
Every year, during the Holidays, we hold a stroller drive for The Living Room, a shelter for local women and their children. The most recent drive resulted in nearly 70 strollers to the deserving women at The Living Room!
Oh, we kind of like parades. We participate in: Apple Blossom in Sebastopol, Future Farmers Twilight in Healdsburg, Pride and Stumptown Daze parades in Guerneville, among others.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Frequently Asked Questions about TMS Treatment
Who will be involved in my treatments?
During the course of TMS treatment with us, you will have a psychiatrist who will determine your treatment routine, and a member of the TMS clinical team will guide you through the treatment. A nurse will see you at the end of each session. You will have an appointment with your TMS psychiatrist once each week while you are receiving TMS treatments. You are also encouraged to attend recommended appointments with the psychiatrists, therapists, or other providers of your ongoing mental health care.
Should I continue to take my medication while receiving TMS treatments?
During TMS therapy, you should continue to work with the physicians who manage your medications. Patients may continue to take antidepressant medication while receiving TMS therapy if recommended by their physicians.
Do the treatments hurt or feel uncomfortable?
In the first treatment sessions, patients may experience pain at the site of stimulation during or following treatment. It is not uncommon to feel scalp discomfort or a headache during stimulation or afterward. Some patients experience muscle twitching in the face and head. These side effects are generally mild to moderate, and usually subside after the first week of treatment. Pain is considered severe in only a very small number of cases. After the first week of treatment, patients typically do not experience any discomfort. Adjusting device placement and settings can help manage pain at the site of stimulation.
Are there any risks or serious side effects of TMS therapy?
TMS therapy is extremely safe and well tolerated. No side effects such as weight gain, sexual problems, stomach problems, sleepiness, or dry mouth were seen in recent clinical trials, nor were negative effects on memory or ability to concentrate noted. The most common side effects are scalp discomfort or headache, and these usually improve with continued treatments. Although seizures are described as a potential side effect, these are extremely rare. No seizures were reported during the most recent clinical trial.
Will insurance cover these treatments?
Contact your insurance company to see if TMS is a covered benefit. In most cases, insurance companies do not list TMS as a regular benefit; however, it is possible to appeal these decisions about coverage. Many patients have been able to obtain some coverage of the treatment. While the Department of Psychiatry will assist you with letters on your behalf to argue for coverage, we cannot guarantee how insurance providers will decide your case.

Travel Postcard: 48 hours in Climate-conscious Copenhagen
By Anna Ringstrom
COPENHAGEN (Reuters Life!) - Got 48 hours to spare in the Danish capital of Copenhagen amid the world leaders, scientists, demonstrators and skeptics in town this December to discuss measures for confronting global climate change?
Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help visitors get the most out of a short stay in the laid-back yet stylish old Nordic city.
2 p.m. -- Head for bustling and picturesque 17th century trading harbor Nyhavn with its tall ships and crooked colorful houses. Have a seasonal mulled wine at the Christmas market or in one of many bars and restaurants. The harbor was excavated by King Christian V to give his newly built central square, Kongens Nytorv, a connection to the sea. Fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen once lived at No. 67.
3 p.m. -- From Nyhavn, take a boat tour of Copenhagen's idyllic canals and harbors (www.canaltours.dk). The boat will also stop at the Little Mermaid, the statue of Andersen's fairytale character and a top tourist attraction.
4 p.m. -- Back ashore and time to stretch your legs. Around the corner from Nyhavn, on the waterfront, pass by -- or through! -- modern architectural pearl Skuespilhuset, the Royal Theatre's new stage that was inaugurated last year. Gaze across the water to the futuristic Opera House on Holmen Island before continuing down Toldbodgade to venerable Amalienborg, the Queen's winter residence. If the flag is hoisted, she's in! If it's the weekend, you can climb into the magnificent dome of Frederik's Church for a view of the city skyline.
Pass by the headquarters of shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk, Denmark's biggest company, and Kastellet, one of the best preserved fortifications in Europe before heading back toward the center along Bredgade -- one of Copenhagen's main arteries with its art galleries and exclusive antique and clothes' boutiques. From there, zig-zag the streets around Kronprinsensgade, another artery lined with designer shops and cafes.
7 p.m. -- The meatpacking district promises a change of scenery for the evening. Listed for conservation and a stone's throw from the central station, the 1930s modernistic "Kodbyen" has recently become the in-crowd's preferred playground as galleries, restaurants and nightclubs found their way there. Have dinner at red-hot newcomer Pate Pate (Slagterboderne 1), a boisterous and friendly place for good wines, tapas and southern European inspired food -- or at the big and lively Fiskebaren (Flaesketorvet 100), the meat district's fish restaurant. Continued...

Kos to AP: Don't let the door hit you on the way out
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas Zúniga looked at the news sources Daily Kos front-page posts over the past week have relied upon for information:
Out of curiosity, I decided to see where the news we discuss on this site came from the past week, from Monday, April 6, to Sunday, April 12. If we linked to a source that got its information from another site, we followed the links until we got to the original source of the reporting ("secondary" source). In other words, I wanted to categorize the original source of information for every (front page) post on the site. Here's the results of that link inventory:
AP and other Wire: 5 secondary
That compares to 102 primary and 21 secondary for newspapers, leading Kos to conclude:
While newspapers were the most common source of information, they accounted for just 123 out of 628 total original information sources, or just shy of 20 percent.
Again, this doesn't mean I'm gleefull or happy or even neutral on the sorry state of the newspaper industry and the demise of so many great newspapers. It's always sad to lose a good source of journalism. But we live in a rich media environment, easily the richest in world history, and the demise of the newspaper industry will simply shift much of the journalistic work they did to other media.
On the other hand, I will be gleeful when the AP goes out of business. I'm actually shocked at how little we depend on those jerks.
Personally, I don't find the AP to be completely useless. But much of what they do is stenography of the sort Washington Post reporter Paul Kane recently advocated. Nobody needs the AP (or the Washington Post, or any other Establishment media outlet) to simply type up and print things politicians say; politicians have websites and issue press releases.
Another huge chunk of the AP's output consists of nonsense like this (unsuccessful) attempted "gotcha." Again: nobody needs that. As I wrote the other day: "Maybe the AP should spend a little less time worrying about who is quoting their work, and a little more time ensuring their work is worth quoting."

Communist Manifesto
Section 1 & 2
Section 3 & 4
Agenda 21
Copyright 2011 Diane Vann: Communist Threat. All Rights Reserved
The photograph of the Vietnam War Memorial in the background was taken May 27, 2004, following the dedication of the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC.
When the federal government's War on Poverty started in the l960's, fathers left, with sadness, so their families could get "better" financial support from the government. Now many children grow up in federally subsidized homes without the presence or support of their fathers. Their mothers feed them with federally subsidized food stamps that do not last the month. When school is out on the weekends and in the summer, they frequently go hungry. Their self esteem suffers and they frequently miss or drop out of school. Their life choices are limited, and most center on having children out of wedlock, drug abuse, drug selling, and incarceration. Life before birth and after birth is disrespected, and violence keeps breaking out.
As a nursing educator, I had to teach to high stress/stakes tests, but at least my students were adults. With the introduction of the high stress/stakes testing of No Child Left Behind and Common Core, childhood education is more like child and teacher abuse. And now Georgia's Governor Nathan Deal, a supporter of Common Core, is proposing to replace the locally elected school board control of some schools (several in District 2) by a constitutional amendment in November's election called Opportunity School District, which offers no new resources to help struggling public school students succeed.
When my husband and I moved to Macon in Bibb County, Georgia in the mid 1980's, the city had more industry and jobs were available. Since then the Cagle factory, Brown & Williamson, and other businesses disappeared.
On this website I include the core of my book,
Undermining the U.S. Constitution: How the Communist Manifesto of 1848 Blueprints the Actions of the Democratic Party and President Obama Today
, which includes Karl Marx's
Communist Manifesto
. (If I liked him, I would have acknowledged Marx on the cover as a contributing author). The United Nations' Agenda 21, or "Communist Manifesto of 1992," is briefly outlined. (The North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA was signed the same year).
My purpose is twofold: to explain why I believe the Democrat Party, or "Party of Slavery: Past and Future," is largely behind these changes; and to spur patriots, or believers in the U.S. Constitution as written, to resist (which may make me a thorn in the side of some Republicans).

Serious need of help
Ok so im starting to loose patients with my 7 month old gsd im at end of giving him up he has done nothing but ruin things chairs cupboards kitchen the shed out the back and guest coats I exercise twice a day play with him I have toys kongs play mental games with him just nothing is ssettling him my heart is breaking anyone have advice please I know I sound awful but just constant ive had enough help

Crate him when you can't supervise, first and foremost. Up the exercise. Work heavily on obedience games and NILIF.
Is therw crates out there for his size hes a small but down from a marmaduke dog im just ao lost I sound like bad person but hes just not listening at all

Find a crate he'll fit in, and find a good obedience class and take him.
Obedience classes are not just for the dog, they are for the owner as well.
Be more active in your exercise of him. If mine got walked twice a day, she'd be bouncing off the walls from boredom. Boredom = trouble = chewing stuff up.
This is a high maintenance breed. I would find the help of a trainer if you are overwhelmed now...
But I mean he is soooo disobedient im not even making this up my brother trains him shows me how to because he does it and jake listens for 2 minutes then doesnt bother he mouths alot as well but eating things and peoples things is pushing me to the edge also hrs pulling on lead which id killing my arm

Cesar millan on the behavior in the house. Check his book 'Cesar's Way' .
Crates as well as using baby gates to block off parts of your house are great. Also, when your GSD does ruin/destroy something let them know how much it upset you. Show them the item and really let your hurtful (meaning how sad you are with your verbal and facial expressions) emotions be shown. I have an almost 5 month old GDS who has eaten shoes, stairs (exposing the wood under the carpet), area carpets, pictures, clothing, our wood trim, various items I display, our wedding candle, plants in the yard, my cell phone, the back seat upholstery of our jeep and cat flea medication! She has even attacked our 3 cats! Now, for the most part she knows who is in charge and knows that if she does eat/scratch/etc. something she will be blocked off from my husband and I or be put in the crate.....before taking the plunge to give your baby up get a crate and some baby gates.....

|1 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This cozy and gently renovated 1950 cottage has the charm of a quaint but elegant country retreat. Gardens bloom from early spring through late autumn, an airy screened-in porch is wonderful for birdwatching, reading, eating a relaxed meal, or, on summer nights, sleeping. A stone fireplace warms you in style in the winter, while the thick walls keep the house cool through the summer. Half of the 5-acre property is fenced in, with plenty of room for dogs to run and play; the other half is unimproved, with a babbling brook. A beautiful pool in a clearing, large old oak and maple trees, and a tiny koi pond finish the picture. A simple but functional kitchen with new appliances makes for easy and fun entertaining. A wonderful place to get away from it all, and just 2 hours from NYC!
Activities: Nearby Stone Ridge, Boiceville, Accord and New Paltz provide opportunities for groceries, antique shopping, dining, and even a (wee little bit) of night life. Hikes, biking trails, and canoeing and kayaking opportunities abound throughout the area, as well as cross country skiing in winter, with Belleayre Ski Center 45 minutes away for downhill buffs. Closer to home, the property's pool provides all day entertainment for the kids, grilling - perhaps some meat bought at the famous Fleisher's butcher shop in nearby Kingston - is always fun, and at night you can make s'mores or just chill by the outdoor firepit. There's tons of stuff to keep you busy, but we admit it - we like most of all to while the beautiful days and evenings away with a book and maybe a glass of wine.
Pet friendly: Much of the property is fenced in, and we provide furniture covers, doggie-beds, bowls - even a kitty litter box if you want to bring along the family cat - all to make your furry friends at home. Felines love sitting out on the screened in porch!
It's our third trip to this property and we enjoy every second. We come for the fireplace, fenced-in yard for our dog and my husband made some great smoked pork and chicken on the charcoal grill. The beds are comfy and we adore the peace and quiet.
Overall house is pretty and cozy. Mine dog and my friends dog had so much fun and exploring time in fenced in properity.House needs better cleaning especially space between screen and Windows. There is so much dead bugs.spider website. Swimming pool area,the cement tiles around the pool area are in bed condition need to be fix. We had to be very careful walking around and need to watch dogs not to get hurt. But definitely recommend this property for vacation and We hope we gonna be able come next year.
Great home, very clean and all that you could want taken care of, like kitchen basics, and a clear welcome book with instructions and advice. Excellent place to bring your pets, the screened in deck is comfortable and dog hair-proofed, our dogs loved watching "doggie tv" out there. We will definitely check to see if this home is available the next time we visit the Woodstock area.
We stayed for five days in April over our kids' spring break, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Julie was quick to respond to questions about the house, and because there was nobody there before or after we left, she accommodated our early arrival and late departure. The house was even better than the pictures, and we loved sitting around the dining room table playing games, and in front of the fire reading. There is an outstanding library of books, and tons of dvds, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked, and the porch would be heavenly in warmer weather. We brought our cat with us, which we had never considered doing before, but Julie made it easy since there was already a litter box available, and it made our trip that much better. The kids LOVED exploring in the woods, and it was just such a peaceful space. We had great meals at the Country Inn (five minutes away), at Lekkers in Stone Ridge (we went there twice!) and at the Bywater Bistro in Rosendale, which we stopped at after a hike in the Black Creek Preserve (around 45 minutes away the hike is a little under 2 hours, and clearly marked with maps available in the parking lot, and the right level for a 5 and 9 year old.) We would go back, and absolutely recommend this house if you're looking for quiet relaxation away from it all. Thank you for a great vacation!
I like this house a lot, and it would be especially nice to stay there in the summer when the pool is open and the big screened in porch could be used. Lots and lots of books and DVD's, a well equipped kitchen with lots of spices, and the beds are very comfortable. It would be great if the living room were more comfortable, and with seating for more of us, but that is my only critique. There was a heating problem this time (worn out fan belt) but the owner was very good about getting a repair man to us and about giving us a partial refund for one evening when we weren't able to be there. I'm sure that is a rare occurence. There is no generator and power outages can be a problem in this area, but on the whole, a very nice place and a considerate owner.
House is very nice, bigger than the pictures suggest. We were a family and of 5 with a lab/golden retriever dog. Overall we were all very comfortable, didn't feel constrained. Rooms are all nice size. Our only negative comment was the lack of comfortable seating in the living room area. There's just one small sofa, with a couple of chairs. Just wasn't enough relaxed seats for our family. Probably not an issue in the summer with screen porch accessible. Not huge issue, but thought I'd mention.
Yard and grounds are great, everything is fenced in so we felt safe letting our dog, tucker run free during our stay. The house is very well cared for and has everything you would need. During our stay, we hiked the kanape Brook trail, just a short drive away, skied hunter mtn and spent time in Woodstock. Overall we really enjoyed our week in the Catskills and the house and property were a big part of it.

SEVERAL seasons back, a kid named Lindsay ap peared in an Off Broadway production of "John Brown's Body" and, as far as many of us were concerned, ran away with the show. He didn't have many lines, but he did have that certain something known as "star quality," and you couldn't help predicting big things for him in the entertainment industry.

UPDATE 1-"American Sniper" is top U.S. box office hit for third week
(Adds details, quotes, background)
By Chris Michaud
Feb 1 (Reuters) - Box office juggernaut "American Sniper" held the top spot at U.S. and Canadian box offices over the weekend with $31.9 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates.
The Oscar-nominated war film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring best actor nominee Bradley Cooper as a Navy Seal sharpshooter easily triumphed over several new releases as it closed in on a domestic total of $250 million since opening on Jan. 16.
Family film "Paddington", based on the series of classic children's books about a loveable bear in search of a home, finished in second with $8.5 million for Friday through Sunday.
In a virtual tie, estimates showed "Paddington" sold just $5,000 more in tickets than sci-fi time travel tale "Project Almanac," which debuted this weekend with $8.5 million. The low-budget, teen-focused film starring Jonny Weston and Sofia Black-D'Elia cost just $12 million to make.
"Sniper"'s continued strong performance helped drive overall box office performance on Super Bowl weekend, when many Americans are focused on the final game of the pro football season.
The hit film was on course to set an all-time record for an individual film on Super Bowl weekend, while total overall box office was up about 23 percent to $103 million from the same weekend a year ago, according to tracking firm Rentrak.
"It is now the highest grossing war film ever, unadjusted for inflation," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Rentrak, noting "Sniper" had surpassed the $216.2 million of 1998's "Saving Private Ryan". Continued...

Shumenov edges Campillo
In a highly charged rematch, Beibut Shumenov (9-1, 6 KOs) won a controversial twelve round split decision to dethrone WBA light heavyweight champion Gabriel Campillo (19-3, 5 KOs) on Friday night at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Campillo was cool and accurate as he landed cleaner punches against the wild-swinging challenger. Campillo was cut over the left eye by a punch in round five, while Shumenov was busted up by a accumulation of punches. Campillo seemed on the verge of stopping Shumenov in the ninth round, but his lack of punching power betrayed him as the aggressive Shumenov out-muscled him down the stretch. Scores were 117-111, 115-113 for Shumanov, 117-111 for Campillo. Fightnews.com scored it 116-112 for Campillo, whose camp plans to protest the decision. Last August in Shumenov's native Kazakhstan, Campillo took a razor-thin majority decision in a bout that saw both men hit the deck.
Unbeaten former Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara (10-0, 5 KOs) scored a tenth round TKO over 39-year-old veteran junior middleweight Grady Brewer (26-11, 15 KOs), winner of The Contender II reality television show. Referee Tony Weeks waved it off in the tenth after Lara dropped Brewer and battered him with a follow-up barrage. Time was 2:44.

On the undercard, a full lineup of unbeaten prospects kept their "0s" intact.
In the most notable bout, unbeaten WBO #3 super featherweight Eloy Perez (16-0-2, 4 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over David Rodela (14-2-3, 6 KOs). Scores were 97-93, 97-93, 98-92. The bout was for Perez' WBC USNBC super featherweight title.
Unbeaten featherweight Ronny Rios (9-0, 4 KOs) outpointed Willshaun Boxley (5-4, 3 KOs) over six by scores of 60-54, 59-55, 59-55.
Unbeaten junior middleweight Ravshan Hudaynazarov (10-0, 8 KOs) scored a third round stoppage of Shadrack Kipruto (10-13, 7 KOs)
Unbeaten cruiserweight Gayrat Ahmedov (13-0-1, 9 KOs) needed just 65 seconds to finish Harley Kilfian (8-4, 7 KOs)
Unbeaten junior welterweight Carlos Molina (10-0, 6 KOs) destroyed Tyler Ziolowski (12-11, 6 KOs) in the first round.
And unbeaten welterweight Jessie Vargas (8-0, 3 KOs) swept past Rickey Kinney (3-2, 2 KOs) in a four-rounder.

A new document has been posted on this website summarizing the major architectural designs of the space elevator which have been proposed over the years. From the introduction:
Space Elevator Architectures have matured since their introduction in the last decade of the 19th century, shown in the 20th century with science fiction expanding many concepts, and finally with modern day designs during the first two decades of the 21st century...
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a Russian rocket scientist, pioneered astronautics' theory in general and specifically conceptualized a building growing to GEO orbit, in 1895 [Tsiolkovski, 1959]. This particular concept focused on aspects of the Geosynchronous orbit. This led to a series of five space elevator architectures over the last 75 years. The first two were significant leaps in understanding, while the last three have lead to the current breadth of concepts:
- In 1960, Yuri Artsutanov presented a real approach visualizing how it could be achieved – a big leap from Tsiolkovsky's concept.
- Then, in 1974, Jerome Pearson resolved many issues with engineering calculations of the required tether strengths and various approaches for deployment. This was, once again, a leap beyond Tsiolkovsky's work and set the stage for the "modern design" for space elevators.
- Dr. Edwards established the current baseline for designing space elevator infrastructures at the turn of the century with his book: "Space Elevators" [Edwards, 2002]. He established that the engineering could be accomplished in a reasonable time with reasonable resources. His baseline is solid; and, it was leveraged for the next two refinements of this transportation infrastructure concept.
- The International Academy of Astronautics used Dr. Edwards' design and the intervening ten years of excellent development work from around the globe. Forty-‐one authors combined to improve the concept and establish new approaches, expanding the Edwards' baseline.
- The most recent version of space elevator architectures is the recently released view by the Obayashi Corporation. Their set of assumptions of the study established stricter requirements and resulted in a longer developmental period with increased payload capacity.
