Faced with the challenge of designing the BeoVision 12 New Generation, our designers Torsten Valeur and David Lewis had to rethink the traditional angle-framed TV, which typically stands away from the wall, leaves unsightly gaps, and takes up extra space.
Their innovative solution represents a giant leap forward in flat-screen design and craftsmanship. A stunning TV that literally appears to float on the wall despite its impressive size.
Great design subtly uplifts and enhances the space it inhabits. BeoVision 12 New Generation's super slim silhouette is a tribute to this ethos.
Perfectly balanced, the thin aluminium frame seamlessly blends in with your décor; never dominating, just naturally enhancing the room.
It is the perfect union of form and function.
For your convenience, both a wall bracket and a motorised floor stand are included, allowing you to enjoy your viewing experience from anywhere in the room.
BeoVision 12 is all about expanding the way you interact and enjoy your TV. As soon as you press play on your remote, BeoVision 12's motorised floor stand will automatically adjust it's angle to give you the best possible cinematic experience for your position in the room. p>
No matter what you're listening to, our TrueImagetm technology up or down-mixes your speaker signal with impeccable accuracy so that it remains faithful to the original recording.
The Bass Management feature directs bass frequencies to the appropriate speaker in your setup, giving you a smooth, balanced soundscape at all times.
Combine it with four-colour, design-matched BeoLab 12 speakers for the ultimate in surround sound.
We strongly encourage you to experience this for yourself at your nearest store.

When you sit down to watch your favourite movie, Film Mode will bring your special effects to the fore. If you're busy gaming, Game Mode will reduce system latency on both the video and audio signals to improve your reaction times.
"We have used aluminium for more than 50 years, to create high quality surfaces in a single piece of natural beauty."
Control your home at the touch of a finger.
A TV that compliments virtually any device.
Combine BeoVision 12 New Generation with a Master Link Gateway and you get the power to turn on the lights in the living room or switch to your favourite TV channel in the kitchen. In total, 2 x 65 commands are available per room.
With and Atlona HDMI Switch matrix you can even distribute HD video and synchronized sound to several screens at once while you send audio to Bang & Olufsen speakers in other rooms.
BeoVision 12 New Generation seamlessly integrates third party interfaces and features so you can safely connect your Apple TV, Blu-Ray, NAS drive or PlayStation.
Although specifically engineered for BeoVision 12 New Generation, the incredibly powerful BeoSystem 4 video engine can be used to connect all your favourite devices.

The Green Quadratic argues that the Green Belt policy has prevented the outward growth of city areas which might have ensured a steady supply of building land, even at the expense of losing green environment. The limit that the Green Belt has put upon land availability has pushed prices even higher. Those already there are fully aware of the value of their environment, and do not stand to gain if there is a substantial amount of additional building. They can be expected to oppose development, and do so.
This paper restates the case for privatization, evaluates the three proposals on the table and makes final proposals to form the basis of legislation. The book also updates material from the Right Lines whilst looking at the possible privatization of The London and Glasgow Underground systems, the Dockland Light Railway and the Tyne and Wear Metro system. Some wider aspects of a free market in transport are also addressed.
A call for the Forestry Commission to be privatized as a single Scottish Company, as well as an assessment on what exactly the Commission's work entails.
"...throughout most of the past thirty years, doubts have been expressed about the economic justification for the Commission's continuing programme of afforestation, and, in more recent years, about the justification for its secondary objectives, particularly in the environmental field."
This paper examines alternative methods for managing the National Health Service.
Suggestions for better mangement of the National Health Service.
"These modes of taxation, by stamp–duties and by duties upon registration, are of very modern invention. In the course of little more than a century, however, stamp–duties have, in Europe, become almost universal, and duties upon registration extremely common. There is no art which one government sooner learns of another, than that of draining money from the pockets of the people."
"All taxes upon the transference of property of every kind, so far as they diminish the capital value of that property, tend to diminish the funds destined for the maintenance of productive labour. They are all more or less unthrifty taxes that increase the revenue of the sovereign, which seldom maintains any but unproductive labourers; at the expense of the capital of the people, which maintains none but productive."
So wrote Adam Smith over 300 years ago. Still the problem persists today, and even though Nicholas Gibb wrote this report into Stamp Duty two decades ago it is still pertinent today. Quite simply it is a call for the abolition of Stamp Duty.
The first ten years of Thatcher's rule saw remarkable change in the UK. Having won three successive general elections, area after area of seemingly intractable problems had been tackled and replaced with successes. This report collects news items from throughout that decade of revolution, charting the achievements of the period.
This report by Nick Elliott shows how people in parts of the UK, the US and many other countries have given up on failing local services and take over the management of their own streets - leading to better services, calmer and safer traffic, and falling crime.
Proposals to allow Sunday opening of shops in England and Wales are again on the political agenda. Despite the failure of the Thatcher government's previous attempt to deregulate Sunday trading, the arguments in favour of change are as strong as ever.
This publication is an evaluation of the arguments for and against Sunday trading, looking at examples of it in action across the world, and applying it to the current UK climate.
Prominent academics, journalists and politicians highlight the historical contribution of Adam Smith and the role of his ideas in the shaping of modern economic thinking. Includes contributions by Leo Rosten, Professors William Letwin and Edwin G West who speak to The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments specifically, Richard Vernier, Russell Lewis, writing about Adam Smith today, Rt Hon Nicholas Ridley, Professor Norman Barry with a piece about the ethics of capitalism, and Dr Jeremy Shearmur.
The Adam Smith Institute is the UK's leading libertarian think tank...

Marion Can't Attend Beijing Games

Marion Can't Attend Beijing Games
Her medals were stripped and her records erased today.
that´s a joke...what about all the others that have been banned in the sport? dennis mitchell, dwain chambers I think Larry Wade actually does coach...what about them? She admitted to cheating...alright...take themedals away and ban her for two years....You hsave done that...but what should that bulls##t banning her from the Olympic in whatever ever way she would be there....to me it´s double standard
u go marion
MSNBC Report
The only explanation for the report (about seven minutes ago on MSNBC) is that the person who wrote the news copy interpreted or wrote "...attend..." while the ruling actually reads "...participate..."
In that case it's a reporting error, as when anchor Amy Robach said Jones is not allowed to attend the "...next year's Winter Olympics..."
I thought it was a bit odd too.
Barred "...in any capacity..."
I forgot to post the Reuters report:
Last edited by bijanc on Wed Dec 12, 2007 10:56 am, edited 1 time in total.
AP version
what does this mean? (from the Associated Press)
'...The executive board also declared Jones ineligible for the Beijing Games "not only as an athlete but also in any other capacity."...'
A convicted felon getting a travel visa a communist country?
As a convicted felon, Marion cannot even travel to Canada.
I'm about 99 deltas that it means she cannot go to China for any reason at all.
Not sure what all the fuss is about. I seem to recall Tommie Smith and John Carlos unceremoniously booted out of Mexico City in 1968 and Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett from Munich in 1972, for far less serious "offences".
"...Not sure what all the fuss is about. I seem to recall Tommie Smith and John Carlos unceremoniously booted out of Mexico City in 1968 and Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett from Munich in 1972, for far less serious "offences"..."
It's not so much an issue of fuss as one of meaning.
UNC to remove several images from displays.
I think that the ruling is for participation in any manner (including broadcasting). It does not necessarily address whether she could go to watch the games; malmo has pointed out that it is unlikely that she could go, although I am not at all certain that a felon can never have a passport (I just do not know, although I think it likely that the Chinese would not go out of their way to help her get there and I doubt it is very high on her list of 'must do' items).
The initial reports in oktober revealed this information, so today:s reports are not new news. She is not permitted to participate in any capacity in Beijing, which includes what gh stated above. Regarding malmo:s point, she may be under house arrest in seven - eight months following her 11-january sentencing. Felons serving time aren:t permitted to leave the country as far as I know.
'...Did anybody think she would be seen at the Games even as a spectator? She violated the spirit of the Olympics in one of the worst ways possible and I could see the IOC saying nay-nay to her attendance in any form..."
My question was more about theory than practice. I was seeking a definition of "..in any capacity...", not asking whether Jones would actually be interested in showing up in the T & F stadium. It's not analogous to the philosophical question Jim Gray asked Barry Bonds about the baseball HOF, to which Bonds implied he would not visit if not eligible f/ induction.
IIRC, Jones is (or was) included in at least one display at the T&F Hall of Fame in NYC. I'm guessing she's now invisible there, and if not she will be soon.
You are correct, but the question asked was what the IOC meant, and my answer was spot-on: they have the power to take accreditation from whomever they want, and that's all.
My point has nothing to do with her ability to maintain her passport or parole restrictions. (although both could come into play).
If Canada does not permit convicted felons to enter their country, then I'd be astonished if China would.
I'd guess that Marion is free to go to Holland, Venezuela, Sicily, Panama, Crete, Columbia, and San Francisco as many times as she wants.
Copy. The travel restrictions are out of IOC's purview.
I read your quote as such:
As a convicted felon, Marion cannot even travel to Canada.
Point taken, however.
What am I missing here? Should I have written, "Marion, as a convicted felon, cannot even travel to Canada?"
She Can't Attend
At 2;43 p.m., an MSNBC anchor, in repsonse to Keith Olbermann's observations that Sen. Mitchell recommend's no penalty, said "..she can't even attend the Games as a spectator!" in the context of MLB levying no penalties.
NBC is threatening with a webcast of everything (or at least of preliminaries not televised in prime time). Until further notice of disappointment, I am drooling.
Apparently, the individual photos are now down.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Gianfranco Ferre
2011 September 26
Spring 2012: Roberto Cavalli, Gianfranco Ferré, Giorgio Armani
FirstView View Gallery
(MILAN) Roberto Cavalli
Chez Bobby, more is always more. This season, the king of drame staged a goth-like runway—befitting his moody Spring collection--with glittering chandeliers and red caging suspended from the ceiling. Courtney Love took in the haute affair front row while mods stalked the runway in quintessential Cavalli: glittery ring master tux jackets, skin tight trousers in leopard print or python, and a blitz of sheer bejeweled gowns, replete with lace panels, pastel print-on-print mashups, and pleated skirts. Like his peers, the Italian designer doled out a dose of 20s glam but managed to weave in his own bohemian rock 'n' roll sensibility. Witness the rococo-esque gold flapper dress with a gilded neckline and shimmering pleat skirt or the various swinging no-waist shifts outfitted in black sequins and bold animal patterns. On every editrices wish list: the mirrored croc platforms in biscotti or noir.
Gianfranco Ferré
Later Jazz Age! Newly appointed creative directors Stefano Citron and Frederico Piaggi, who came on board Gianfranco Ferré in July, skipped the jazz era craze taking over catwalks in a collection that spoke to the architectural background of its trend-shy founder. No tropical prints. No sparkly Great Gatsby separates. No tricky trappings and over-the-top accents. Instead, the duo revisited Ferre's sculptural aesthetic in a white, nude and black color way with a surprise pop of purple, metallic, and fuchsia. Opening the packed show was a sharply tailored white column gown boasting a thigh-high slit and sleek assym collar. Minutes later, Ferre's signature white button-down was reimagined in an oversized silhouette with a karate belt, off-kilter hem, and double sleeve atop silky capris. Kudos were divvied among the beige silk pantsuit with a plunging V, roomy high-waisted evening bottoms with one-shouldered toppers, and the minimalistic spin on the 90s working woman power suit. No doubt Ferré's owners, Dubai-based Paris Group, are applauding the creative captains for their retail-friendly offering.
Giorgio Armani
Iridescent underwater marvels, most notably mother of pearl, were on Giorgio Armani's mind for Spring. Coco Rocha got the water-themed show underway in a silver floral blazer and cami teamed with high-waisted silk trousers, slit at the ankle—one of Mr. Armani's staple pants for the season. Following in Rocha's footsteps were riffs of the same except this time shimmering blazers became more fitted and transformed into like-printed peplum blouses or lengthened into Eastern-influenced jackets, sans collar and tied with an obi-like belt; silk camis shifted into one-shouldered numbers or sheer chiffon blouses printed with budding abstractions. Later on, office-to-opera dressing championed the runway with dress-over-pant pairings, slinky strapless concoctions, and striped two-tone separates, mimicking a school of shiny damsel fish. Punctuating the sea of glitz? A trio of look-a-like models, bidding ciao to Milan in bedazzled strapless evening gowns.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very lively white with wonderful pineapple, honey and lemons on the nose and palate. Great finish with such intensity. Mineral, white pepper, and tropical fruit. Complex aftertaste of spices, pie crust, and lemon meringue. Fab. 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon, and 22% Muscadelle. Production..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fresh melon and green apple notes intermixed with hints of mango and pineapple, zesty acidity and subtle oak all make for a delicious, full-throttle wine.
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Coutet 2009 is a sensational effort from Philippe Baly and his team. It has a fragrant nose of honey, vervain tea, pineapple, frangipane and apple-blossom, well defined if needing a little more vigour at the moment. The palate is vibrant on the entry, informed by touches of apricot and orange..

Fat Albert and the gang get themselves into situations that teach themselves (and the audience) valuable life lessons. Bill Cosby in live action hosted the show and gently brought the lesson out to the viewer.
"Na-na-na, gonna have a good time, Hey, hey hey!"
The show initially ran on CBS from 1972-1984, but moved to NBC in syndication for one year in 1989. The episodes revolved around the daily life lessons learned by Albert and his friends. Topics ranged from social issues to personal introspection and were blended with humor and music. Among the many great characters that inhabited Fat Albert's world were Rudy, Mushmouth, Donald, Bill, Weird Harold and Russell.
Bill Cosby lent his voice to many of the Fat Albert characters, playing Fat Albert, Bill, Mushmouth, Mudfoot and the Brown Hornet.
Live action bumpers featuring Bill Cosby were set around animated episodes of Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids, a series about a group of urban adolescents growing up in a Philadelphia neighborhood. The show was based on Cosby's 60's stand up comedy monologues about his childhood.
In 1979 the show was re-titled The New Fat Albert Show and featured a new segment called The Brown Hornet, a send-up of superhero cartoons starring a larger-than-life African-American crime fighter in outer space.
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids enjoyed one of the longest careers in Saturday morning cartoon history, running for twelve consecutive years; a record bested only by the many incarnations of Scooby-Doo.

|Home Eco Pro Microfiber Dust Mop Floor Nozzle EP14121
Order the Eco Pro EP14121 On Vacdepot!
The Dry Mop Floor Nozzle combined with suction of your vacuum system provides excellent cleaning results on hard floors of all types, particularly those that will also benefit from polish action of the mop fringe. Hardwood and honed/polished stone floors will show a brighter finish when cleaned over standard vacuuming with a brush, as will all smooth hard floors including tile, laminate and polished concrete. The Dry Mop Floor Nozzle also cleans where no regular floor brush can. The fringe of the floor nozzle easily cleans against the baseboards pulling dust and debris down from above floor level and out from the corners.
The Dry Mop Floor Nozzle was recently updated with a new innovative MicroFiber fringe cleaning pad. Adding the power of MicroFiber has increased spot removal effectiveness and overall efficiency. The exclusive fringe design works more effectively with the vacuum system, provides much more surface contact than a flat pad and still provides open space for airflow to remove debris collected by the nozzle. The new MicroFiber fringe also works great with spray cleaning using a small amount of your favourite neutral floor cleaner in a damp-mop method to pick up sticky messes and add a streak-free shine to your floor. When the MicroFiber mop head becomes laden with dirt and soil that is not pulled into the vacuum, cleaning the mop head is easy.
The fringed MicroFiber mop head can be removed from the vacuum nozzle by simply pulling the Velcro attached mophead from the base and giving it a gentle wash. It couldn't be easier or faster to maintain the MicroFiber Dry Dust Mop which makes cleaning your hard floors faster than before. And the reusable design offers you a money saving green alternative to disposable floor wipes. Each MicroFiber pad is good for hundreds of washings and thousands of uses.
Standard fitting 1.25" swivel connector attaches to friction and button locking wands of all central vacuum systems. An optional 35mm wand adapter is available for use with imported portable vacuums including Miele, Lindhaus, BOSCH and Sebo - see accessories tab to order adapter.
Sold 1 each, black nozzle with MicroFiber fringe.

The course here in Glendale, Arizona looks good, and with it being just a stone's throw from the luxurious Renaissance hotel that all the skaters are staying at, this is everyone's favorite stop on the tour.
Nyjah is hurt! Kind of. He's been limping around all day during practice, but that hasn't stopped him from jumping down the big stuff. Could it be Chaz or P-Rod's turn to finally win a Street League? Both were looking good in practice with Chaz landing a crooked grind nollie flip out off the big out ledge. Have a look through the gallery to get a feel for the course and see who was breaking it in.

What are the 12 main advices in the technical and physical level for a tennis player for to win her Match?
Hello! Masha
Congratulation! Again; I am very happy for this nice victory and I would like give you these 2 links for to see your scores statistics and the one of Azarenka.
You can do your own analysis for prepare yourself consequently. Good Chance and God Bless You. Kiss
1) The yours:
2) The one of Azarenka:
Hello! Masha
I don't know what happened in the second Set, since they cut my electricity intensionally and I don't can support you and pray for you.
Sincerely, I am very sad for this loss, because you can win this title; but, unfortunally Azaranka was been very determined and desperate.
I think that you have done a good tournament and a great beginning sport saison and you have all this year for to reach your goal; But, you need work so hard to impose your supremacy; there are so much new strong players with Lizicki, Clijster, Kvitova, Sara, Macarova, etc.. Good chance and God Bless You! Kiss
P.S: I like say you that those demonics they steal me all my rights and things; but I will continue with my advices for you, if you like that?
In waiting of my next analysis I would like show you this nice video about the Djokovic's secret for to be Number One.
Follow this link: http://bigbrowser.blog.l...vic-de-devenir-numero-1/
Today I will like to speak you about the method as system of play. When one speaks about the method it is not the strategy or the tactics of play which one adopts during a match or through a global view on the manner of playing; but it is a system of behavior of total play and steps to be adopted in the total game, where the strategy of the play and the tactics to be implemented during a match are only one integral part of this system.
Therefore, the method is a system of behavior which determines the philosophical contours of which the fundamental concepts conceive the comprehensive strategy of play and the tactics to be adopted during the matches.
Among these fundamental concepts which constitute the method, there are some which are vital for the system of play of the player and they are the following:
The Stability:
The Regularity
The Perfection
The Performance
The Competitiveness
1) The Stability: A professional tennis player must be stable in his play; i.e. it must play roughly in the same way in all the matches. Thus, it can choose several strategy and tactics before and during the matches, but stability must be on the same level.
2) The Regularity: The professional tennis player must be regular in his play. This regularity must obey at the criteria of stake and motivation; what wants to say that this regularity should not suffer from the risks of certain secondary considerations; but must, imperatively, answer to the criteria and conditionalities of the only interests of the player in the sport, independently of the other material interests of its private life.
The regularity is the fact that the player and his technical staff respect the plans and the action plans annual and partial of the drives and the official competitions
3) The Perfection: The professional tennis player must be perfect in his play; i.e. its play should not regularly undergo the obvious imperfections and technical failures which are current at the stage of amateurism.
Therefore, except in the cases of absolute necessity, the professional tennis player must have very a high level of perfection in his total play which reflects its performance level and of competitiveness.
4) The Performance: The professional tennis player must be very powerful in his play. This performance does not have a specific quality exclusive to him, but it must be integrated within a total framework of the competitions traced by the general level of the competitive players.
Therefore, the performance is the principal criterion which can distinguish a player from his adversaries and decide for its participation in high level competitions, since it reflects the level of its form and its power.
5) The Competitiveness: Contrary to the performance, competitiveness inevitably does not reflect an elevated level of power; because, a player can be competitive according to the general level of the other competitive players which can be average or low.
But, in terms of professionalism, competitiveness rhyme with performance and high level of play of the player. Consequently, it is necessary well to take into account this fundamental concept in the method of play of the professional player of tennis. Good Chance and God Bless You! Kiss
Hello! Masha;
I re-examined your last match of AO finale against Azarenka; paradoxically the end result does not reflect the reality of your performance, since you played well and you did not do many faults. Unfortunately, the chance was not of in your side in this day and the least errors were decisive for the end result of the match.
But, which I want to say to you, to draw your attention, it is that Azarenka was keener and much more vigorous on the psychological level; especially after being themselves gone up score of 2/0 and after having reversed the result of the 1st Set in its favor.
Therefore, you need to be stronger psychologically and to be very trustful in you even. One should not leave the occasion to the adversary to take much confidence in himself and to carry out the play, psychologically, with its manner.
It is necessary that you controls the psychological events and not to undergo their effects. Also, it is necessary to adapt to the psychological circumstances and to try to reverse them in your favor when they are not positive.
For example, to try to change shirt, wristband or headband, etc. ; These small gestures are very simple but they can get to you a new feeling of psychological change of situation towards the positive one.
Certain players, a little lazy, when they are in an unfavorable psychological situation, they try to distract their adversaries by small futile gestures for to play on their psychological state and affect them in their concentration. And I believe that, in much case, they succeed, when the adversary is weak psychologically.
Our objective is not to succumb in a strange sporting behavior or absurdity which can affect the spirit of the fairplay; But, of course, to prepare seriously and very good the psychological, technical and physical level to be able to do face to all forms of performance and power.
As I said in a preceding post, this year 2012 is the season hinge which can enable you to be started again in your conquest to the big GS trophies and to begin again your true place of Number 1 in World, which is the true vocation of a professional, or to continue in this rhythm of play mitigated, where you will be divided between two different worlds (businesses & fashion and tennis) and to try to reconcile one with the other, but only in one middle level, that it is in one or the other, because you cannot be everywhere at the same time.
I believe that you know this quotation which says that "One should not run behind two hares at the same time"; Therefore, the choice is clear and you must choose the biggest hare, since tennis is your absolute priority and it is him which can get all the other advantages to you.
If it is thus, I believe that it is still time to sacrifice you a little more in this beginning of the season to be able to reach the summits of the performance and to do face to all the challenges; more especially as the stakes are imposing and priceless for this season 2012.
I believe that it still misses to you many matches to be played (because of this ankle injury which obliged you at rest during several months) to be able to regain the natural dash and the psychological reflexes of the past which can make the difference in your confrontation with your adversaries which are too powerful.
In this context, I can suggest you my idea of formerly which consists of the organization of mini friendly tournament between some high level players (04 women and 04 men) within the framework of one world day, example: World day of health on April 7th, 2012 and world day of the women's rights on April 8th, 2012.
The expenditure will be dealt by organization with non lucrative matter and the receipts will be versed at humanitarian associations which concern this organization. As regards the players, I propose to you for the women: Sharapova, Kvitova, Clijsters, Lizicki; and for the men: Nadal, federer, Djokovic and Murray.
Lastly, if they are available and if they want well to accept the invitation, if not you can replace those which cannot take part by others. I hope of all my heart that will succeed and that you will achieve all your legitimate goals in this year 2012. Good Chance and God Bless You. Kiss
I think that Masha need start immediatly a specific program of preparatrion specially for the competitions of Roland Garros and Olympic Games.
She have some time again and she don't have the choice, since these tournaments and this sport saison 2012 are decisives for the rest of her tennis Career.
I hope that Masha will have this big Chance to win ones GS and OlypicMedal that she need really. Good Chance! Masha. God Bless You! Kiss :)
Hello! Masha
This is something very beautiful and delicate at the same time, because you're in an obligation to honnor this beautiful picture of true world champion that everyone you glue on the head like a crown world, especially these young tennis players and your fans who are very important.
It also involves putting in place the foundations of your future Tennis School through your statement and your dominance as World Number One, That's all you have left, since this School is already based around your method, your Style of play and your theoretical doctrine that is already designed with input from the content of this Topic which can be expanded and edited as a book to protect copyright.
While hoping that the 2012 sports season can bring you all happiness and success through other GS trophies and a medal at the Olympics, I wish you good luck and courage. God Bless You!
Hello! Dear
You're right Maria, since the persistence is a great asset to win, whatever the game. So, you should never give up and try to adapt to all situations
I have seen in your last match that you take so much risks in your serve, specially when you are in good advantage toward your opponent; I think that is a monumental fault that you can avoid. I wish you a Great Tournament and a Big Succes. Good Chance! kiss
I am sorry for this late since I have had problem of connection. I saw your final match and I am very sorry for this hard luck; But, I think that the differnce it's in the number of matchs that Azaranka has played in these 2 last years, since nearly she don't make faults.
I belive that you can beat it easly if you will play so much matchs. I wish you so much chance for the next big tournaments who are very importants. You should take this defeat like a lesson for your next matchs with Azaranka and co and for your next tournaments. Good Courage and God Bless You! Kiss
First all I like present to you all my wishes of Happiness, Health, Love and Success in this nice opportunity of your kind Birthday. Also I would like say to you that I am very happy for this best performance in the high level and against the actually N° 1.
I like too say you that you are in the good way for your conquest of your true place of Number One In the World and when you will reach it it's for long time, since your tennis of this final match today show us that you are really the best tennis player in the world, in spite of that you have not played so much matches.
Now you need a very especially and good preparation for GS Roland Garros and Olympic Games. I wish you good chance and good Courage. God Bless You! Kiss
Today you have to take care about your especially warm-up before enter in the court; also your concentration should be very good and quiet, you don't needs overestimate your opponent, since you are the best. Good Chance and God Bless You! Kiss
Go Ahead Masha; Na Li is not strong as before, she makes imprudences and faults; not forget your especially warm-up before enter in the court; don't favor the beautiful game to the detriment of the result.
Also the quick play should be accompanied of the accuracy; take care about the precipitation. Not overestimate for the opponent, you are the best. Good Chance and God Bless You! Kiss
Hello! Masha
Congratulation! Masha; I am very happy because now we can say that we have found our Sharapova of 2008; Good work and Great Match against Na Li. I wish you the same for the semis against Wozniacki.
I think that you know already how to beat Caroline!? since her game is very simple, it is based exclusively on the defensive strategy where she let her opponent makes faults and loss points.
Don't let you lead through her game and avoid the long rallies, give strongh shoots from the beginning and let her run in the two directions. Good Chance! God Bless You ! Kiss

Putting a Price Tag on the Common Core: How Much Will Smart Implementation Cost?
May 24, 2012
Patrick J. Murphy
Elliot Regenstein
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English language arts and mathematics represent a sea change in standards-based reform and their implementation is the movement's next—and greatest—challenge. Yet, while most states have now set forth implementation plans, these tomes seldom address the crucial matter of cost. This report estimates the implementation cost for each of the forty-five states (and the District of Columbia) that have adopted the Common Core State Standards and shows that costs naturally depend on how states approach implementation.

Charting a New Course to Retirement: How Charter Schools Handle Teacher Pensions
June 22, 2011
Amanda Olberg
Michael Podgursky
In this "Ed Short" from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, Amanda Olberg and Michael Podgursky examine how public charter schools handle pensions for their teachers. Some states give these schools the freedom to opt out of the traditional teacher-pension system; when given that option, how many charter schools take it? Olberg and Podgursky examine data from six charter-heavy states and find that charter participation rates in traditional pension systems vary greatly from state to state. When charter schools do not participate in state systems, they most often provide their teachers with defined-contribution plans (401(k) or 403(b)). But some opt-out charters offer no alternative retirement plans at all for their teachers. Read on to learn more.
