How to Select
How to select Miniature Track Lighting
Miniature track lights can be used for targeting lighting in rooms that already have primary illumination devices. Fixtures like this can help you highlight a certain part of the interior of your home or an object that requires more attention. The guide that Westside Wholesale has prepared for you will help you find the best options for your home.
The first factor that you should pay attention to when looking for miniature track lighting devices is their type and what they are typically used for. Completing this step is really easy—when you know what purpose the fixture will hold and its mounting location, you'll know what type you need. For example, you may want to install miniature lights on the wall near your favorite painting, on the ceiling above the dining room table or on the floor to highlight the stairs.
Now, the power source of miniature track lighting should also be taken into consideration. You may be able to connect the fixtures into the line or install them with low-voltage systems, but this factor also depends on the location of the track lighting.
The track heads, their size and design are factors that require your attention as well. Modern track heads come in various styles and designs, starting with traditional and ending with contemporary options. The best way to select a perfect miniature track head is to look for options that match the existing style/décor of the room. No matter what head you select, it should be compatible with the track section and adapters that you have.
The light combinations of miniature track lights are details that everyone forgets about. For instance, consider the adjustability of the fixtures and whether they offer multiple modes of operation. Since the main purpose of miniature track lighting is to highlight or decorate the space with light, you might want to have the ability to change the illumination depending on your mood and needs.
How to mount miniature track lighting? Usually, such fixtures come equipped with instructions and all necessary mounting accessories. If you know how to handle a screwdriver, you won't have any trouble installing your track lights by yourself. If that's not the case, hire someone to install the lights for you.
Will I be able to adjust the light's direction? If you select miniature track lights with adjustable heads, you will be able to change their location and thus control the direction of light. You need to ensure that the track lights that you select have adjustable heads, otherwise you will break them.

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
Building Strong Families (BSF) Project Data Collection, 2005-2008, United States (ICPSR 29781)
Principal Investigator(s): Hershey, Alan, Mathematica Policy Research; Devaney, Barbara, Mathematica Policy Research; Wood, Robert G., Mathematica Policy Research; McConnell, Sheena, Mathematica Policy Research
The Building Strong Families (BSF) project is comprised of a four part dataset. Part 1, the BSF Eligibility and Baseline Survey Data file; Part 2, the BSF 15-Month Follow-up Survey Data file; Part 3, the program participation data file; Part 4, the BSF 15-month follow-up analysis file. This study examined the effectiveness of programs designed to improve child well-being and strengthen the relationships of low-income couples through relationship skills education. It surveyed couples 15 months after having applied and having been accepted into a Building Stronger Families (BSF) program at one of eight locations offering services to unwed couples expecting, or having recently had a baby. The first major focus of the study was family structure. Question topics included information on recently born children, as well as the parents and their relationship status. If the parents were still together, respondents were asked whether they were currently married or planned to marry in the future. If no longer together, reasons for the relationship ending were explored. The second major focus queried respondents about parental involvement with their child or children. They were then asked to rate their perceived quality as parents, their communication skills, and cooperation between parental responsibilities. Respondents were also questioned regarding the amount of time spent by each parent with their child, including playing games, feeding, and changing diapers. The third major focus asked respondents about their relationships. They were asked to give their opinions of marriage and their level of satisfaction in their current relationship. Respondents were also asked to list the frequency, if applicable, of various occurrences within their relationship. Subjects included communication, enjoyment of each others' company, partner reliability, infidelity, and domestic violence. The fourth major focus queried respondents on their well-being. They were asked whether they attended religious services, how they felt in the past month about being a parent, and their feelings and behavior during the past week. Respondents were further asked if these feelings or problems made it difficult for them to work or communicate with other people. They were also asked about consumption of alcoholic beverages in the past year, and if alcohol use created problems with employment. The fifth major focus questioned respondents about the utilization of various services. They were asked if they participated in any programs such as classes, workshops, or group sessions in order to help their relationship. They were also asked if they had met with someone, such as a social worker or a priest, to help them work on their relationship. Respondents were asked if they participated in programs to improve parenting skills, learn job skills, increase education, or find employment. They were also asked if they participated in any programs to help with anger management or domestic violence. The sixth major focus dealt with paternity and child support. Respondents were asked if they voluntarily signed a birth certificate or document identifying them as the mother or father. They were asked if they were legally required to provide child support, the amount of that support, and if they gave money in addition to child support to help with the cost of raising the child or children. The seventh major focus dealt with family self-sufficiency. Respondents were asked if they or their partner performed any work for pay during the past year, the past month, and their earnings during those times. They were then asked if they received any additional sources of income such as welfare, disability insurance, and unemployment. Respondents were then asked if they and their partner combined some, all, or none of their money. They were asked how the responsibility for bill payment was divided between partners and if, at any point, they had difficulty paying bills. Respondents were also asked if they owned a car, rented or owned a home, and whether they were covered by health insurance. Lastly they were asked about their health and who they could count on in an emergency. The final major focus explored parental well-being. Respondents were asked if they were currently in prison or jail, had ever been arrested, had served a jail or prison sentence in the past and, if so, how long they were incarcerated. Additional information collected included country of origin of the respondent and the respondent's parents, who they spent most of their life with prior to age 18, whether they lived with both of their biological parents at the same time, and if their parents were married. Respondents were also asked about their previous sexual experience. Demographic data includes race, education level, age, income, and marital status.

This decorative braided bread made with Sue Bee Honey is the perfect centerpiece for spring gatherings! Serve warm and top with one of our Whipped Honey Butter varieties.
- 1/2 cup Sue Bee Honey
- 5 1/2 cups flour, plus extra for kneading
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 4 eggs
- 1 can evaporated milk, lukewarm
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened to room temp
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour and salt. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix yeast with warm water. Set aside and let the yeast activate and expand.
4. In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs. Add lukewarm milk, softened butter, Sue Bee Honey and activated yeast, then blend.
5. Add flour mixture to the milk-honey mixture 1 cup at a time, blending after each cup to make sure all flour is incorporated.
6. After the flour has been incorporated and the dough has a satiny consistency, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic (don't overwork your dough).
7. Place dough in a large bowl that has been coated with butter; turn the dough over in bowl to coat dough with butter. Cover the bowl with plastic and then put a damp towel over the plastic and bowl to keep the dough moist. Place the bowl in a warm place for dough to rise (dough should double in volume in approximately 1 hour).
8. Punch down or deflate dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into 2 equal parts and shape into rounds. Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
9. To form the braid, roll each round of dough into a long roll about 36" long and 1 1/2''-2" thick. Using the 2 long pieces of dough, form a loosely braided ring on a large baking sheet. Seal the ends of the ring together and tuck the loose ends under the dough.
10. The natural separation of the 2 rolls creates "nesting" spots in the braid for the 10 colored eggs. Evenly distribute the eggs between the folds of the dough braid.
11. Place the braided dough in a warm spot, covering with the damp towel; let rise for about 45 minutes. Gently brush braid with the remaining melted butter and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. The colored eggs will cook as the bread bakes.

Reem Acra
2012 February 14
Fall 2012: Carolina Herrera, Jenny Packham, Rachel Roy, Reem Acra
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Carolina Herrera
Carolina always gets the who's who of the fashion and media monde—and that's attributed to the fact that she delivers season after season. Nicki Minaj wasn't there to quirk up the designer's front row and ham it up in photo opps with Anna, alas, but there was no need or desire for diversions from the perpetually elegant confections. Bonus points for the sleek yet gloriously voluminous coifs, tethered at the crown by simple headbands. Herrera opened her show with takes on the flattering combo of navy and noir, starting off with a deep blue wool jacket with some seriously long-haired black goat fur sleeves. After showing a few separates (those silk Mikado pants were particularly marvelous), she ventured into familiar eveningwear territory, while retaining a sense of cohesiveness. A hand-painted chiffon gown took the cake with double deep V's in front and back; later on, Herrera fanatic Renee Zellweger gasped an "Oh my God" or two over the latest gowns on offer. Tweed suiting turned out in purple and mauve color gradations, and long leather gloves by Carolina Amato were a sophisticated addition. Kaleidoscope-esque printed silk dresses flaunted bright pops of color. The show closed with aplomb, via a silk faille papaya ball gown avec a piece-y off-the-shoulder neckline with origami foldsslim long sleeves, and a gorgeously full skirt. Oh so Herrera. J'adore!
Jenny Packham
Harkening back to Lauren Bacall and other forties movie stars provided fodder for Packham's latest looks, including the coif of choice: a twisted topknot hairstyle. Sequins and beaded embellishments provided an ample sparkle quotient, which carried through on one standout, sharply shouldered blazer, rife with jet black beading. There was a halter-necked nude jumpsuit that would look great on the likes of a Charlize or Reese. Long silk gowns in shades of icy blue and dusty pink beckoned for the red carpet. Look out for some Packham credits to crop up in the near future...
Rachel Roy
It's okay that Roy's models resembled the designer, replete with long sleek hair and a statuesque bod since she's cuts quite the striking figure. Gravitating towards a darker swatch of colors, the clothes (plus those hats!) looked appropriate for the Argentine Pampas. On the docket: thick circle knit scarves, flared leather skirts and tops, and thick horizontal stripes in muted hues. Some of the collection erred on the dressier side. See: cropped trousers sporting wide leather cuffs, or a violet suede coat with burnt orange fur lining that peeked out. As a matter of fact, Roy's strongest looks played in rich shades of purple: silk taffeta dresses, a chic cinched jumpsuit, and a gray silk strapless dress with purple accents popping out from underneath.
Reem Acra
The kind of woman Reem Acra attires, and designs for, is decidedly dress-inclined. One glance at her lookboard, which featured but one pair of pants, affirms the Acra customer's propensity for chic suits for day and polished numbers for evening. With "feminine power" as Acra's reference du season, the first looks trotted out took the shape of green leather "second skins." As for the said, sole pair of pants—anything but average, cut legging-skinny and crafted in a sheer jet black beaded fabrication. Black and gold were the go-to colors, which were particularly effective in a tweedy lamé skirt suit with some pouchy elbows. Hemlines crept north on the first few minidress-ed evening looks, before literally hitting the floor in a sweep of gold beading. And for the girl who is most comfortable in black, there were two full length dresses with some seriously hot wrap around cutouts that had us green with envy.

Elevators slow. Key to room locks you out an hour prior to the checkout time. Took 20 min to get someone to open room door. Great hotel otherwise. Showed up and front desk claimed no king beds left. I complained bc that is what I reserved online. Next thing you know there was a king bed room available."
A very nice Hotel, location is good, quite busy. The room is big, bathroom can be bigger. very clean. Room had no extra (Coffee machine). During busy time it takes a while to have an elevator !!!. For the price paid (180$ for a 2 queen beds) great value for the money."
It was exactly what we wanted fair price and great location. Every person that works at the hotel was very nice and polite .the hotel is a little bit old but the rooms are clean and it worth the price"
For 27 dollars a day it's a steal! Very satisfied with my stay in Circus Circus, the room was spacious and comfortable. We stayed in tower A nothing fancy no over view of the strip or anything but it was nice. The only down side is that the casino is pretty far well not to far wished it was in the same building. But over all satisfied you cant beat that deal!!"
We stayed for 4 days-the room was clean and big, and the hotel is in a good location on the strip (including bus stops of the express bus which is very convenient).Very good value for the money we paid. Recommended!"
I stayed for over a week. The room was OK. Staff in nice but location is not really a strip experience. Waitresses are old and tired. Mostly old people come and the Casino is hardly ever full and lively. Nightclub on top is like 20 people. Once you go out of the hotel you are in the middle of nowhere. For my second week a relocated to the Strip (Harrahs) and it was amazing although the hotel is older and not so nice. Let me put it this way, if you want to have a Las Vegas experience, stay on the STRIP. Paying extra for the location is worth it."
I always choose Radisson hotel,Desplaines,due to several reasons,first and foremost is the location,then the qualityt,hospitality and the cooperation of the front desk gentlemen and good looking ladies as well as the other hotel staff."
Affinia Chicago has all the qualities to make the day of the tourist. It has no big lobby but the location and the spacious room together with a big comfortable bed added very much to our stay in Chicago. The concierges were very helpful and knowledgeable. Their rooftop lounge is very cool and Gino's deep dish pizza is practically next door as well as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neeman Marcus. You can walk the magnificient mile up to Millenium Park as well. I would definitely stay there again."
We had an exhausting experience checking in with somone from the front desk. The other worker checked in three people before our person finished with us. Aside from that, the hotel is great. Safe, upper class area. 5 minute walk to Davis and Dempster metro stops. It took about an hour and fifteen minutes to get downtown in off-peak times. During rush hour you can take the express purple line almost straight downtown. It took about 45 minutes then. 5 minute walk from beer/liquor store. Numerous bars/restaurants outside the front door. Amazing pancake maker available for the continental breakfast. My only complaint about the room is that there is no complimentary bar fridge. We were on a road trip and the ability to keep food cold would have been great."
The Parc 55 is a large, busy hotel quite close to Union Square and the Powell St. Bart station. The room we had was large, well appointed and quiet, a perfect place to unwind after a long flight from China."
Two rooms at the hotel do not have in room bathroom but instead a hallway bathroom. So, you can upgrade at hotel for $30 for en suite. Hotel is really nice and perfect area. Will return but will book directly with hotel. They were so sweet and the rooms are amazing, clean and in perfect condition. Again, just book directly so you don't get the discounted room with hall bath"
Great location for union square and Bart. Comfortable rooms. Very nice staff. Free coffee and fruit in lobby. Free glass of wine in evenings. Fitness room is tiny and hot with three machines and no windows but is sufficient and free. Nice place."

Number 185 Atlanta, Georgia November, 1908 The National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education The second annual convention of the Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education convened at Atlanta during the three days, November 19, 20 and 21. The convention opened with a banquet at the Piedmont Hotel, Thursday evening. Three general sessions were held on Friday, with a fourth series of departmental meetings; two sessions were, held on Saturday, a general meeting and the closing business meeting. In addition to the above, a mass meeting . specially arranged for the students of the colored schools of the city in connection with representative colored citizens was held at Spelman Seminary. At this meeting, an audience of a thousand colored students and citizens listened to addresses by distinguished educators in industrial and technological lines from the North, followed by a stirring and instructive address by Dr. Washington, of Tuskegee. The Exhibits The halls and galleries of the state capitol were devoted to an exhibit of trade school work, which attracted many visitors other than the delegates and citizens attending the meetings of the conference. These exhibits were varied in character, representative of both North and South, and indicative of the variety of work attempted by many different schools in different sections of the United States. Officers and Speakers The officers of the association and the speakers during the sessions were likewise widely representative sectionally and professionally. The president, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, is the president of Clark College, and the vice-president, Mr. Magnus W. Alexander, is president of the General Electric Company, Lynn, Mass. The executive committee seems to be exclusively business men. The speakers were about equally divided between men of business and educators of local and even national prominence. One is led to think that the association had its inception with business men, who called in the educators, rather than an association of educators who invited to their help the men of business. Impression on the Public Now that the sessions are closed, the question arises as to the impression made by the convention in this city of . conventions. Perhaps the answers to the question would be as various as were the people in attendance. For the writer, the poetic moment was reached on Saturday morning in a very brief address by Mrs. Lipscomb, president of the Women's Clubs of Georgia, as she told of the work of the federation in establishing and maintaining four industrial schools in as many counties, and of the petition of the clubs to the legislature for industrial schools and compulsory education for all children of the state, both white and colored. The simplicity of the story, the directness of the petition, and the call upon the men of the state to carry it through, made a profound impression. "Industrial Education" Defined Again, the term "industrial education" has been defined, or if not defined has had something of its content made known. Industrial education recognizes the fact that into the industries of the country every year large companies of the youth of the country enter. There are twenty million children of school age, one-fifth of whom each year pass out of the schools into the army of workers. The manufacturers, the trades, all occupations are interested in an intelligent body of youth who thus annually swell the ranks of employees. Two methods are possible ; the one permits the lad or girl to find by chance an entrance into life in some form of occupation for which there may or may not be adaptability, and for which no preparation has been made. The industrial schools propose, upon a basis of manual training in the primary and grammar schools, to offer a secondary education based upon the economic conditions of the section, which shall train the youth in the principles underlying the occupation and giving practice until efficiency is achieved. Sectional Peculiarities In the South the natural industrial school will be, possibly, agricultural; in another section textile schools, perhaps; in all sections trade schools, where the journeyman of the future shall get his preparation. But the pur- , pose of all these schools is not primarily the graduating of farmers, or trades-people, or workers in textiles, so much as developing the entire man, not only as an artisan or a craftsman, but as a man who looks at his art or his craft intelligently; who sees his craft in its economic setting, in its sociologic importance; one who is not satisfied merely to turn out a finished product, but who wishes to give it an artistic character; one who not merely earns more money because of the enhanced value of his work, but who uses his increased income in a better type of living than would be possible if he came into the ranks unskilled or with the skill gotten in the chance opportunities of his career; in a word, a better citizen of the republic, because giving a finer product and living a finer life than had otherwise been possible. Development of the Individual AJ1 of this can be summed up in one sentence, namely: that in the industrial schools of the future the average student life is to be much prolonged; the special aptitudes of the individual youth are to be discovered and developed, that each shall make a finer contribution to society than the present regime offers, in which so large a portion of the boys and girls who should be in school drop out at the fourth, the seventh or the eighth grade, or who sample the high school and will have none of it. This is the impression which it seems to me has been left in Atlanta by this convention; and the city and the state should be very grateful for the presence of a body of thinkers representing such a purpose. E. H. Webster. Rev. Frederick J. Libby of Magnolia, Mass., paid us a brief visit last month and conducted devotions in the Chapel on the morning of October 12.

Welcome to Stock Yards®, The World?s Finest Steaks & Chops! For over 100 years, Stock Yards has been providing the very best USDA Prime and Choice steaks, pork, lamb and veal to America's finest restaurants including: Chicago Chop House, Gibson's, Morton's, Tavern on Rush and Wildfire. While steaks of this quality are usually sold only to restaurants and steakhouses, Stockyards is one of the very few who can deliver them direct.
Now, all can savor the flavor of world-renowned restaurant steaks at home. These Filet Mignon USDA Prime or Choice steaks are slowly and naturally aged, then hand carved and expertly trimmed. The result is melt-in-your-mouth, fork-tender delectable flavor.
Prime or Choice Cut? What?s the difference?
USDA Prime. Only the top few percent of all beef produced in the U.S. qualifies for the USDA Prime grade. This distinctively superior beef contains the greatest degree of marbling, creating a tender and juicy steak with a buttery flavor.
USDA Choice. This is the most popular grade of beef for its well-marbled texture and butter-rich flavor, giving it an exquisite tenderness and taste. Just over half of all beef graded each year earns a grade of Choice, and we only choose the highest quality Choice available.

great T&F names
OK, forgive me, it's late at night. But I was thinking... (if you can call it that) about some great T&F names. High jumper Nathan Leeper has to be high on anyone's list of right-on names. High hurdler Eugene Swift is also right up there. And how about shot putter Dallas Long? Sprinters James Jett and Keisha Jett. Hurdler Rod Jett.
Any others?
Re: great T&F names
Lutz Long in the long jump.
Re: great T&F names
Back in high school in New Jersey in the late '70's there was a thrower from Willingboro named Chuck Spinner, and another from Scotch Plains named Mike Hurling
Re: great T&F names
At one point a group of us had a list of high jumpers who could "jump off themselves."
Dwight Stones, Tom Woods and Juri Tarmak are the ones that come to mind right away.

Benn Fields was another.

Juris Luzins at 800.

Kansas State (Leeper's alma mater) also has/had a female high jumper whose last name was High. T&FN suggested those two get together. Gotta love High-Leeper for a married name.
TCU had a sprinter named Steve Slowly. Obviously, he wasn't.
Re: great T&F names
During my freshman year we had a couple meets at Coe College (DIII, Iowa) who had this long jumper with the last name of Nakka.
I distinctly recall warming up for the 800/880 and hearing the long jump official holler,
"Nakka up, Thompson in the hole!"
Re: great T&F names
I liked these......
Ebanizer Edmonds....SJD sprinter
Ivory Crockett...So.Illinois sprinter
Handsome Wearing....Villanova hurdler
Fair Hooker....Arizona hurdler
MacKinley Dillingham...COS sprinter
Cyril Pinder....Illinois sprinter
Houston McTear...Cerr JC sprinter
Eulace Peacock....Temple sprinter/lger
Mozell Ellerbee....Tuskegee sprinter
Re: great T&F names
You're forgetting Eugene Swift!
Re: great T&F names
>You're forgetting Eugene Swift!<
You're forgetting that Eugene Swift was mentioned in the very first message in this thread.
Re: great T&F names
>TCU had a sprinter named Steve Slowly.
>Obviously, he wasn't.
And Herschel Walker was definitely a runner.
Re: great T&F names
Larry Walker ('76 Oly) was a walker.
Re: great T&F names
You gotta think that . . .
Somewhere, at some time, some Furlong must have run the 200, some Quarters the 400, some Half the 800, and some Miles the mile.
Re: great T&F names
How about Jerry Springer in the high jump?
Paul Walter in the pole vault?
George Spearman in the javelin?
Ted Turner in the discus throw?
Dick Hyman in the pole vault?
Re: great T&F names
Brittney Spears in the javelin.

That, of course, would be Miles Irish!
Re: great T&F names
I can't believe I forgot about this one: current UT hurdler Raasin McIntosh! (pronounced like racin')
And by the way, she ran a 12.90 (ties LoLo for fastest in the nation) yesterday in Austin. And supposedly, the 100H isn't even her best event -- she was already leading the 400H list.
Re: great T&F names
Back in 1973 there was a guy who wrote letters to TF&N along with long winded explanations:
One was Hitchkick Hitchcock if Alfred Hitchcock had been a long jumper.
When Terry Williams of Lompoc California,then an Oregon recruit, wrote a sarcastic message board like letter to the editor about wanting to start a Eugene branch of the Craig Virgin fan club, He responded "It is too bad there are no Virgins in the freshman class at Oregon."
Re: great T&F names
How about the russian Hurdler Stepanova
Re: great T&F names
That reminds me of Russian high jumper Stepanov.
Re: great T&F names
UC Riverside has a high jumper named Jeff Midgett
Re: great T&F names
in the mid to late '60's there was a pretty good discus thrower at Fresno State named Atomic. If I recall correctly he was Atomic Terozian. I always figured he must have been born on the day the bomb was dropped.
Re: great T&F names
There's a collegian this year named Joshua Sink, who runs for (of all places) Navy.
Re: great T&F names
In the Midwest Regionals, running in the 200m and 400m, there's a guy named Richard Petty.
His success depend on his pit crew, I guess.
Re: great T&F names
From the East Regional, we have Army's Trevor Hopper in the 400m.
An exhausting way to run the race, if you ask me.
Re: great T&F names
Yet another from the East Regional . . .
Cornell's Geoff Van Fleet in the 1,500.
He was ranked 34th, so he'll need to be fleet to make the 12-man final.
Re: great T&F names
Although it wasn't really related too his event, I always liked the name of the French middle distance runner of the early 50s--Robert Chef D'Hotel.
There was a good lacrosse player in my area a few years back whose name was Scott Lacrosse. That might be the best all time sports name. I mean, he was Mr. Lacrosse, every year!
Re: great T&F names
You could have put together a Third Reich relay team from the West Regional: Gehring, Braun, Komandent and Krauter.
Re: great T&F names
University of Memphis basketball player (and 7 foot HJ in HS) Baskerville Holmes
Re: great T&F names
How about a former High Jumper and Basketball player for Ole Miss - Tim Jumper
I also trained with a marathoner - James "Crash" Wall. (guy had endurance like you wouldn't believe - no wall crashes in his marathons)
Re: great T&F names
sid sink ... steepler in early 70s
henry marsh . steepler from 80s
joaquim cruuuzzz
john walker
Thierry Vigneron .. just because I always liked that name

Magnus Carlsen steps out of World Championship cycle
By declining to play in the 2011 Candidates matches, Magnus Carlsen has decided to step out of the current World Championship cycle. In a letter to FIDE Carlsen expresses his dissatisfaction with the current cycle, like "reigning champion privileges, the long (five year) span of the cycle and changes made during the cycle resulting in a new format (Candidates) that no World Champion has had to go through since Kasparov." Poll added.
The following letter, signed by Magnus Carlsen, dated November 4th, was sent to FIDE. We received a copy from Carlsen's manager Espen Agdestein.
To: FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov & FIDE World Championship Committee. Reference is made to the ongoing World Championship cycle. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of my decision not to take part in the planned Candidate Matches between March and May 2011. After careful consideration I've reached the conclusion that the ongoing 2008 – 2012 cycle does not represent a system, sufficiently modern and fair, to provide the motivation I need to go through a lengthy process of preparations and matches and, to perform at my best. Reigning champion privileges, the long (5 yr) span of the cycle, changes made during the cycle resulting in a new format (Candidates) that no World Champion has had to go through since Kasparov, puzzling ranking criteria as well as the shallow ceaseless match-after-match concept are all less than satisfactory in my opinion. By providing you with 4 months notice before the earliest start of the Candidates as well as in time before you have presented player contracts or detailed regulations, I rest assured that you will be able to find an appropriate replacement. Although the purpose of this letter is not to influence you to make further changes to the ongoing cycle, I would like to take the opportunity to present a few ideas about future cycles in line with our input to FIDE during the December 27th 2008 phone-conference between FIDE leaders and a group of top-level players. In my opinion privileges should in general be abolished and a future World Championship model should be based on a fair fight between the best players in the World, on equal terms. This should apply also to the winner of the previous World Championship, and especially so when there are several players at approximately the same level in the world elite. (Why should one player have one out of two tickets to the final to the detriment of all remaining players in the world? Imagine that the winner of the 2010 Football World Cup would be directly qualified to the 2014 World Cup final while all the rest of the teams would have to fight for the other spot.) One possibility for future cycles would be to stage an 8-10 player World Championship tournament similar to the 2005 and 2007 events. The proposal to abolish the privileges of the World Champion in the future is not in any way meant as criticism of, or an attack on, the reigning World Champion Viswanathan Anand, who is a worthy World Champion, a role model chess colleague and a highly esteemed opponent. Rest assured that I am still motivated to play competitive chess. My current plan is to continue to participate in well-organised top-level tournaments and to try to maintain the no 1 spot on the rating list that I have successfully defended for most of 2010. Best regards, IGM Magnus Carlsen
The next step of the current World Championship cycle is formed by the Candidates matches, which are scheduled in Kazan in the Russian republic of Tatarstan in the spring of 2011. The winner of these matches will meet Viswanathan Anand in a World Championship match, which will probably be held in London in 2012. FIDE has confirmed to have received Carlsen's letter. "Currently we have no comments on this matter. We must treat it in the World Championship committee first," said FIDE Executive Director David Jarrett of FIDE to VG Nett.Now with such breaking news and a discussion that's going at top speed, we added something we wanted to do for a while already: threaded comments. You can now reply directly to certain comments instead of using the '@' symbol. Let's see how this works.

but Carlsen still did not beat everyone in chess matches.
Fischer beat everyone in matches??? I thought he only beat 4 players.
3 years 5 months ago
what is Carlsen's head to head record against Anand, Topalov and Kramnik? That would be important to know before we make claims such "..if we already beat everyone out there.."
3 years 5 months ago
Whether the system of short matches was good or not, the actual experience of facing Kramnik and other top players in any sort of match would have been priceless!
what a waste Magnus
I think he will regret this.
3 years 5 months ago
when Carlsen do not have a good chess trainer, for preparing for the candidates then he can try to practice with the chess engines rybka 4 and houdini 1.0.3a:)
Who needs a world champion title...if you already beat everyone out there...?? The title shoes has to go spontanously to Carlsen.....awarded based on his tournament victories ....
It's like Fischer...he didnt need to defend his title.....he knew he was the best out there...no need to prove it anymore....
What u guess think of this reasoning?
I think in a year's time, Carlsen will beat Wang Yue in ping pong!
Bert de Bruut

Carlsen is both wrong and right. He is right in much of his criticism -although he is wrong to compare chess to soccer-, but he is mistaken to quit the current cycle, as for now there is no alternative to it.
3 years 5 months ago
Carlsen throws himself out... what a dumb decision he made, a seriously retarded one. Its a checkmate to himself. What a disapointment. :(
FIDE should keep world championship cycle as it is now i hope, as matches.
Chess kings are made in matches, not in tournaments and little boy Carlsen should accept that.
3 years 5 months ago
Short and clear.
2 years 3 weeks ago
Agree, that's a dumb decision. Now it is result, Carlsen will not be a World Champion for at least 4 years more. Sad but true
3 years 5 months ago
Instead of Football, compare with boxing: should we take all of boxers and make a huge tournament with the Champion starting at the same level as the others?
Chess is not standard sport event (such as running, football, swimming) but a fight between one mang, the strongest in the World, and his challengers.
3 years 5 months ago
Perfect Diwali gift for Anand.... whats more, like the previous championship cycles, he can still assist Vishy for his title defense !!
you could add to the poll:
bad idea, because he could have a good practice for the feature:)
No, you're right, for Carlsen it is not so long, even though he did play some Grand Prix tournaments at first since FIDE then said you could only challenge the WC by winning those Grand Prixs. Now afterwards with these rules Carlsen didn't have to do anything but win the Challengers tournament.
But in general, for non-Carlsen players, the cycle is just too long. To challenge the WC you first had to either win a Grand Prix series of 6 tournaments or win the World Cup, and after that win a strong Challengers tournament with the whole world elite.
Maybe FIDE could make the ratings mean something by saying that in the Challengers Tournament, only the top 10 of the World Rankings could play. Of course that has disadvantages too (people would stop playing once then reached the top 10) but it (a) encourages players outside the top 10 to try to win rating, and (b) gives players like Carlsen and Kramnik a break, making it easier for them to challenge Anand.
I liked this reply idea from the beginning but instead of going down the page all the time it seems as If the wheel of my mouse got the rhythm of love now....
Gunner Topalov
3 years 5 months ago
Now it is up to all the other candidates to step out of the cycle as well...now that would get the FIDEs attention..
...and Anand should refuse to play unless Carlsen is involved...
Topalov wont play Russians in Russia....or at least not Kramnik..so venue gotta move to Kiev???? or do as Carlsen???
I guess Aronian is happy with the changes made?...Aronian got his will with the venues move to Russia...understandable that he did not want to lay in a country at war with his belowed Armenia
Aronian and Gelfand have no reason to withdraw, because they are the only two who are qualified by original regulations for this cycle.
Also, why would Anand have to do anything? World Champion should have absolutely nothing to do with chosing of his challenger! Unless you want the old times, when World Champion could duck real challengers, to return.
3 years 5 months ago
He is perfectly right, chess needs to evolve in a more fai and modern system.
I hope, considering MC status and wide popularity, this decision will have a great resounding outside the chess world, to let transpire what incompetence and lack of capacity from FIDE.
I think he made the right decision, but he will lose a great opportunity to shot at the World Title, I hope he doesn't regret this decision.
3 years 5 months ago
He just doesnt want to spoil his reputation as he knows that he has very little chance of beating kramnik and aronian in the candidates......Ridiculous comparison with football world cup..... This was his opportunity to show that he is not just about beating the tier-2 players....
Skúli Bernhard

This is a baseless attack from you. Your statements about his motivations clearly shows your own motivation.
You are obviously trying to defend the current system with out any arguments.
No, his comparison makes sense. The people making the rules are out of touch with reality, and chess-players too apparently, considering the poll shows most people agree...
carlsen has poor overall record against kramnik and aronian , two top seeds in candidates , its a very cunning decision.
3 years 5 months ago
Carlsen's decision is not correct. Vishy Anand is the current world Chess Champion. Even he had to play many world championship candidates matches. Even he was treated unfair against Karpov in 1998 when he had to play against a most rested opponent. In 2000when Anand won a knock out tournament, everyone said it was not that difficult. In 2007, he was criticised of his title saying Kramnik was not there in the tournament. And since Kramnik had beaten Kasparov, the world will accept if Anand beats Kramnik. When Kramnik was beaten by Anand in 2008 and Topalov in 2010...still people have doubts about his credentials as a World Chess champion. During the post Kasparov era, there was problem two chess governing bodies..and a unification was the solution. Now when a legitimate World Chess Champion is existing, a Challenger is a must to dethrone him and here, again going back to knock out or tournament format is insane.
Let me guess, you are from India as well? Please look at the poll, and you will see that most people agree the current system is wrong. While I understand that you like the concept of a Master that defends his position, it does not make any sense for most people that a player who in the time-period may have passed his peak is given automatic entrance to the main match. He could certainly be given some kind of seeding advantage though. Today, there are too many players that compete on the same level, to reserve one of two spots to a person that happened to win earlier.
3 years 5 months ago
Let me guess, you are not from India and believe that Anand is not a worthy world champion !! I can understand from the 1000 odd people polls here that people want Magnus to win, and therefore the system is unfair (god know when the system will be fair), and being a die hard Anand fan from india I would want Magnus to prove his might by going through the same rigour as Anand has gone through to win the title! You say there are too many players that compete on the same level and so Anand by retaining the title twice playing with such players is a really big deal then! I agree whe you say that the defending champion is given an unfair advantage since many pass their prime (peak) , guess what Anand is currently no1 in FIDE rankings (now are the live ratings really live??? ). Last 2 decades has been this hue and cry about unfair systems then why not suggest an immpeccable solution to FIDE who everybody thinks comprise of a bunch of aliens and do not solve the practical problems which at times arise due to the Elite players tantrums!! I think chess is an individual sport and a player is entitled to his/her opinion so always an individual player can question a format however perfect it may be by his or her rationale (ofcourse suiting his pathway to the title).
3 years 5 months ago
@Suresh, It's quite funny to see how you get worked up and think this means the whole world is against anand, and they want magnus to win. It shouldnt matter what country you are from, the best players should play for the title and i really don't get why you would be against that. All world championship matches i have followed i have rooted for anand(though not from india), while he played and beat the world elite. Now there is a player rising, highest rated in the world, and if he does not want to fight for the opportunity to challenge the world champ because of bad procedures, do you really want to stop progress of chess and make sure the world champion and the world's highest rated player will not fight for the championship? I say this does not add up.

I honestly do not beleive Magnus is afraid of any chessplayer in the world :-)
3 years 5 months ago
Agreed , Magnus is not afraid. There are lot of players on the same level. The world champion is having an advantage. But all this can be discussed and protested by Magnus Carlsen in a mature fashion.
a) Participating in the world championship
b) Sending a letter to FIDE seeking for review of the system.
The start of the revolution....All chessplayers of any influence should join!
3 years 5 months ago
I think the boy made a stupid decision. Garry's record of being the yougest ever World Champion is safe, and Anand has a great chance to remain World Champion till 2014-15.
Even here one can see the big influence Kasparov has had on Carlsen...
He's right though, and the requirements to be able to challenge the World Champion are just ridiculous and take too long. And I bet the conditions for those Candidates matches are also not what you'd expect from a tournament with Carlsen, Aronian, Kramnik, ... (after all, since players will want to play in this tournament anyway to have a shot at the title, FIDE won't have to offer as much money to get a strong field).
And the only way to actually make a change would be if other elite players did the same and withdrew, but I doubt they will.
