CBS Radio's Osgood advanced false claim that FDR favored private Social Security accounts
CBS News Sunday Morning anchor and CBS Radio Network host Charles Osgood [1] echoed the erroneous suggestion [2] first made by FOX News Washington managing editor Brit Hume [3] -- which prompted Air America Radio host Al Franken to call on Hume to resign [4] -- that former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt supported eventually "supplant[ing]" government funding of Social Security with private accounts. In fact, Roosevelt advocated "voluntary contributory annuities" -- which differ significantly from private accounts -- to supplement guaranteed Social Security benefits and never proposed replacing Social Security benefits with private accounts.
On the February 11 edition [5] of Osgood's news commentary, The Osgood File, which airs daily on the CBS Radio Network and is syndicated [6] by Westwood One, Osgood presented a clip of President Bush advocating private accounts during a town hall-style meeting [7] on February 10, then invoked Roosevelt:
OSGOOD: Investing SOME of their own Social Security money instead of having the GOVERNMENT use it?
BUSH [clip]: "The distinct advantage of this is not only a greater, greater return. It's your own assets."
OSGOOD: By the way, who said this? "It is proposed that the federal government assume one-half of the cost of the old age pension plan, which ought ultimately to be supplanted by self supporting annuity plans." That was Franklin D. Roosevelt. January 17th, 1935.
But Roosevelt was not advocating that the present system of guaranteed Social Security benefits "ought to ultimately be supplanted by self-supporting annuity plans," as Media Matters for America has pointed out [3]. Rather, he was proposing that a system of both mandatory contributions -- today's Social Security -- and voluntary annuities would eventually eliminate the need for a different fund -- to be paid for equally by states and the federal government -- that was established to provide pension benefits to Americans who were already too old in 1935 to contribute payroll taxes to the Social Security system.
Further, Roosevelt's voluntary annuities would differ from private accounts in that their funds would be deposited into and paid out of the Social Security trust fund, providing a government-guaranteed benefit like mandatory contributions, as Media Matters has also documented [2].

Posted by Tim DeGennaro on August 19, 2013
Earlier this year, I published a blog and report outlining five predictions for EA practices in 2013 based on trends I analyzed in Forrester's annual state of EA survey. This year's state of EA survey is now accepting responses for 2014, for those who would like to participate. But I have a feeling this year's data will be less optimistic than last year's.
The data for 2013 showed an EA practice roaring to help their business set their business technology strategy, become more agile, and achieve their transformations successfully. And anecdotally, this is where our EA clients felt they were ready to go. Furthermore, their bosses were giving them full support, and the business was willing to give it a try. It all sounded perfect, and I was optimistic.
But I'm starting to see a disturbing trend in my calls and engagements. Yes -- EA went out there, did the job, engaged the business, got a project, drew some pictures, maybe made a proposal for enterprise investment. But many will not be coming back a second time to welcoming arms. And here's why:

Okay Vode, some of u may know I started my own custom mando... changed my mind so many times and finally decided to stop working on it. Instead I'm going in a new direction. Not only am I working up my AFSOC mando... I will be starting my own special mando based on the brave soldiers of the British Special Air Service. I'll post the concept sketches shortly and will ask you guys to help me out with picking which one I want to make. I must make it known tho that this project is SECONDARY to my primary project of building the AFSOC mando.

Lascivious' lingerie pieces don't just look good; they're fire that fuels the erotic imagination. Cheeky cutaways expose body parts in reverse, and the clean, modern design means fabrics hug the skin in the most flirtatious of ways.
For fall 2012 the brand builds upon the styles which, since its founding in 2004, have become modern classics. 'Isla' reworks one of Lascivious' classic styles with the addition of patent leather eyelet-studded trim. The 'Lola' collection introduces a geometric mesh fabric that's so on-trend the basque is basically begging to be worn as outerwear.
The 'Cara' range adds something you don't often associate with Lascivious: print. The contoured shapes and 100% silk mesh fabric make this lingerie set look divinely feminine, but look closer and the print reveals itself to be a mass of chains – lightly abstracted but clear enough to evoke a hardness and a spirit of bondage to the otherwise soft-looking pieces.
Collar and cuff bondage accessories made from patent leather and fur are a collaboration between Lascivious and Fraulein Kink, rounding out a stunning autumn collection.
View the full autumn / winter 2012 lingerie look book from Lascivious (lascivious.co.uk), as stunningly photographed by James Lightbown, by clicking on the thumbnails and perusing the gallery.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by max, Nov 25, 2006.
An injury would suggest why he isn't producing. Dude needs to sit out for a minute. he deserves it.
no way my main man darko now gets plenty of boards and gets duble digit points all the time
I look forward to seeing him on All-Star Weekend ....serving hot dogs
I was gonna bring this up also... just as it's hard to blame Sheed for the playoffs... you should not judge a man with a gimp. Nobody plays thru injuries better than the fro... even at his own detriment. Let's not be too coy until we show we can beat the Bulls and big Ben. I do think he is over matched physically by heavier centers... it's inevitable that his legs will give out.
At least he still the lead the league in Offensive Rebounds a game even though he's not in the top 5 in Rebounds a game....
G-man Ya know, you carried a lot more credibility with the Belushi avatar lol Ben might take a shot he could make
Hey Mo..No Belushi for U today... (instead you get the Chongman) Skiles and Ben are like vinegar and oil. But you're right, the next bell that tolls could be the one Skiles hears in his head right after ben thumps him. The 60M is all the average Chicago fan thinks about in regards to signing Ben. In Detroit we built a team around his unique if limited natural talent. In Chicago he's an appendage strapped to a team already built. His limited capabilities are exposed if he doesn't get his 30 minutes and his coach (never a patient teacher) doesn't know how to use him effectively. The cat just needs to play, his snag numbers will grow if they leave him alone. No doubt Skiles has a very itchy trigger finger and it will probably keep Ben from getting his groove back unless Paxson leans heavily on the Coach..
Skiles is the closest comparison to LB that Ben will ever see. IMO...Ben loved LB cuz he let him 'free his Brahma'. Skiles sitting Ben will work it's course. Look for Ben to have some monster games in the next week or two. I think Ben respects Skiles as a coach...something Ben could not see his way to with Flip.
Speaking about the all star break I hope all of the former best starting 5 make it, and do great. Chauncey should make it, Rip has done extremely well, Sheed is averaging a double double, Tay is stepping up. I think it could happen as long as Ben doesn't keep sucking. It's unfortunate because there is no doubt in my mind he would still be doing good if he was in Detroit.
If the headband issue went down as reported by McCoskey, (Ben asked Skiles is there anything he needs to know, then after he signed the contract, told him about the no-headband-rule) that would be something that could trigger a loss of respect.
sounds like excuses.
Which Darko are you watching Watcher? Because it sure isn't the same one that I have on my fantasy team. Surely you aren't talking about that backup on Orlando. That guy only has 5 double digit point games this season out of 14. As for rebounds, he's yet to grab more than 8 in a game this season and is averaging 5.4 so far.
Dude but the stats don't show how impressive those 5.4 rebounds are...he boxed out and everything.
True enough. My bad. I can admit when I'm wrong. I should know by now that the stats don't tell the whole story with Darko. Its all the intangibles he brings to a team. Like his passion, heart, loyalty, dedication, never-say-die attitude, his "pre-season, garbage time or finals, I play hard no matter what" mentality. His ability to grow a mustache. His many hair styles. THOSE are the things that win championships. Not meaningless stats like points, rebounds, etc. Save that stuff for the guys that have something to prove.
Having watched the Chicago game recently, it doesn't take too much perception to observe that Ben was running through the motions (or shall we say the coach directed playbook): run up toward right/left wing, set post and curl appropriately. I've seen more activity and motion offense from a Japanese robotic conference. Skiles will never be able to use Ben and Skiles will never be a winner, because he can't relate and understand player motivation. Skiles (why can't everyone be more like me with my great internal motivation) has at best 1-2 more years in Chicago, no matter have many lottery picks they get. Ben, the 60 millionaire man, will be traded at the end of the year (sucker born every minute) and that will be that. The size of his biceps will have nothing to do with it, or perhaps, maybe it will. The months of December and January will be a feeding frenzy for the Chi beat writers…Christmas notwithstanding.
it's funny. now the the chicago press has no love for ben they have no problem airing how much of a malcontent he is. dude is a headcase. lol. in the news they say it looks like chicago is going to get him more touches on offense to jumpstart his defense. lol. a true headcase.
If they do make it, do you think the coach of the Eastern Conference play them together and kick the Western's Conference All Stars' butts? I certainly hope so.
I was looking at Ben's All-Star statline from last year and it is classic. 8 REBS 2 AST 3 BLK 2 STL And who can forget him blocking Pau Gasol? He definitely had a down year last season, but the All-Star block on Gasol and the ECF block on Shaq are forever etched on my mind.
Yeah, anyone who has a problem with management and team direction is a headcase.... Unless of course, you agree with them, bballjay. Then they are a visionary. Heard it all before Mr. Double standard. For the record, I think Ben should have taken off the stupid head/wrist bands and played. Bad move by him although I have a soft spot for folks who aren't afraid to stand up to management. I think we need to pick our battles. Arguing over head/wrist bands with your coach hurts your position down the line when you discuss something that really matters. No doubt Ben's skills are declining, although I still firmly believe that he will turn it around this season and still be one of the top 5 defensive players in the league. I'm in agreement with the last couple of posts that say that it will be difficult for Ben to find a system that really caters to his strengths the way the old Pistons philosophy did. Ben's performance in this new environment will definitely speak to his Hall of Fame worthiness. We will get a glimpse as to how much of Ben's prominence was based on Detroit's system and how much was Ben's raw ability. Ultimately, I think he will pass the test. I will however admit that this is a perspective groomed from watching several years of dedicated service from the afro'd one. He's earned my loyalty and faith. The Ben we see in Chicago's uniform is not the Ben we grew to know and love. He is underperforming as a leader and as a player. That is my honest take. He'll turn it around though because thats what Ben does best. He is a hard worker. I will never bet against that type of personality when it counts.
Separate names with a comma.

The Latest in Green Tech Innovations for Tires
When it comes to your car, oil isn't the only thing there's a finite supply of. Rubber has its limits too, and it's estimated by 2020, the supply of natural rubber in the world may be outstripped by demand. And of course, tires require a great deal of oil to produce as well. Tire manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to innovate and conserve resources in tire production. Here are some recent advances:
- Dandelions: Yes, those humble yellow flowers you try to eliminate from your yard. Dandelions actually contain a minute amount of latex in their milky oil, and research shows they can actually produce about as much latex, pound-for-pound, as rubber plants. German scientists have cultivated 1-foot-tall dandelions for just this purpose. This isn't a new development, either -- in WWII, Amer ...[more]
Self-Inflating Tires…Soon To Be A Reality?
Driving around on underinflated tires is just a bad idea all the way around. Underinflated tires increase a car's rolling resistance, meaning a drop in fuel efficiency since it takes more energy to move the vehicle down the road.
A single tire that's down by ten pounds of air means a 3.3 percent drop in fuel economy…multiply that by all four tires, and you can figure on giving up ten percent of your gas mileage. The added friction and rolling resistance also means more heat is generated, and heat is the enemy of the internal structure of a tire. That heat will damage a tire to the point of failure. Studies show that underinflated tires are a full 25 percent more likely to fail, and at least half of one-car accidents involve a tire problem as a factor. And still, it's estimated ...[more]

Grandparents' Rights
Authored By: Texas Legal Services Center
Grandparents' Rights
In Troxel v. Granville, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Due Process Clause, "protects the fundamental right of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody and control of their children." Thus, as a grandparent your "possession and access" (visitation and custody) rights are limited. In other words, grandparents do not have a constitutional right to see their grandchildren.
What is custody?
Custody can mean different things depending on the circumstances. There are three kinds of legal custody of a child that can be ordered by Texas courts.
- A managing conservatorship means being the person the child lives with and the person that makes most decisions about how to raise the child.
- A possessory conservatorship means getting to visit the child and helping to make some decisions about how to raise the child.
- A joint managing conservatorship, means the child mainly lives with one parent, but both parents together make decisions about how to raise the child.
The court can give some jobs to one parent and other jobs to the other parent.
Example:The court could order a joint managing conservatorship where the child mainly lives with the mother, but spends every Wednesday night and every other weekend with the father. And, the court could order the mother to pay for the child's health insurance but the father to pay for the child's school lunches.
Can I get legal custody of my grandchildren?
Unless the child's parent(s) sign a power of attorney giving you the power to say where the child lives and to make decisions for the child, you must go to court to get custody over a grandchild. This means you have to file a lawsuit in a court asking the court to give you custody of the child.
To file an original lawsuit asking for custody:
- The grandchild has to have lived with you for 6 months. If the child lived with you for 6 months but is now living with someone else, the child must have moved out within 90 days of when you file the lawsuit. or
- A court has to have named you as the child's guardian; or
- You must be able to prove that the child is being hurt because of the child's living conditions or by the people caring for the child; or
- Both of the child's parents, a surviving parent, the child's court appointed managing conservator, or the child's custodian have to agree that the child should live with you.
Sometimes, someone else has already filed a lawsuit asking a court to say who the child should live with. To enter an existing lawsuit is "to intervene." A grandparent who wants to intervene in a lawsuit must:
- Have had a lot of past contact with the child and
- Be able to prove that the child is being hurt because of the child's living conditions or by the people caring for the child.
What does the court use to decide who should get custody of children?
The court has to answer the question, "What is in the best interest of the child?" The court decides each child's case individually. However, a grandparent who wants the child to live with them must beat the "parental presumption." The parental presumption says it is usually best for children to be raised by their parents. Judges know that nobody's parents are perfect. So, It is not enough to show that a child's parents are not so good. A grandparent must prove that living with the parents is very harmful to the child.
What might the court look at to decide what is in the best interest of a child?
The court may look at things like:
- What the child wants,
- What the child needs for physical and emotional health,
- If the child is in danger,
- If the parents or grandparents would be good at raising the child,
- If the child can get public benefits,
- If the home is stable and safe,
- The acts or omissions of the parent(s), for example, if the parents have committed crimes or have not cared for the child,
- Any excuses the parents have.
The judge can look at almost anything else that it thinks is important.
How does the "parental presumption" affect my rights as a grandparent?
The parental presumption says that it is usually best for children to live with their natural parents.
To beat the parental presumption a grandparent has to prove:
- The child will be hurt by living with the parents; or
- The parents have a history of family violence; or
- The parents voluntarily sent the child to live with someone else for a year or more and within 90 days before the suit was filed in court.
A grandparent has to prove that some specific thing the parents are doing is hurting the child emotionally or physically. This proof must be strong because close calls will go to the parent. If the parent is a proper person to have custody right now, the court will not use things the parent did in the past against them. For example, if the parent used illegal drugs in the past but stopped using drugs, then the court can say that the child can live with the parent.
Possession and Access
What is possession and access?
Generally possession and access means getting to call and visit the grandchild.
My child won't allow me to visit my grandchildren, what are my rights?
The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the right of a parent to decide who his or her child has contact with is one of the fundamental rights of parenthood. This is bad news for grandparents who do not get along with their grandchildren's parents. If the parents will not let the grandparents visit the child, the grandparents have to prove that the parents are unfit or that the child is being hurt by not being able to see the grandparents. This is very hard to prove.
Can I ask a court for the right to visit my grandchildren?
To get a court order allowing visits, a grandparent must file a lawsuit under Chapter 156 of the Texas Family Code. How to file a lawsuit is beyond the scope of this publication. It is best to talk to an attorney.
To win, a grandparent must prove that the child's parent:
- Has not had his or her parental rights terminated;
- Has been in jail or in prison at least 3 months before the lawsuit was filed;
- Has been found to be incompetent by the court;
- Is dead; or
- Does not have court ordered possession or access to the child.
When can I not request visitation of my grandchildren?
A grandparent cannot request visitation if:
both of the biological parents of the grandchild:
- had their parental rights terminated;
- died; or
- gave the child up for adoption; and
- the grandchild has been adopted or is the in the process of being adopted by a person other than the child's step parent.
Where do I go from here?
If the child is in immediate danger, you should call 911 or child protective services. Otherwise, it is best to try to work things out with your family members. If you are cannot agree, then you should talk to an attorney.

Bonavita coffee brewers
Bonavita coffee brewers are some of the exceptional pieces of coffee makers.

Morningstar Disclosures:
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for a variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Ratings are for the A Shares as shown only; other share classes bear different fees and expenses, which affect performance.
Load-waived A share star ratings do not include any front-end sales load and are intended for those investors who have access to such purchase terms (e.g., plan participants of a defined contribution plan). Not all A share mutual funds for which Morningstar calculates a load-waived A share star rating may actually waive their front-end sales load. Therefore, Morningstar strongly encourages investors to contact their investment professional to determine whether they are eligible to purchase the A share without paying the front load.

3 Risk Statistics: R2 is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund or security's movements that can be explained by movements in a benchmark index. Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given portfolio to the overall market. Alpha is a risk adjusted measure of an investment's excess return relative to a benchmark. A positive Alpha indicates that the investment produced a return greater than expected for the risk (as measured by Beta) taken. Standard Deviation measures variability of returns around the average return for an investment fund. Higher standard deviation suggests greater risk. Risk Statistics are calculated using 36 monthly returns.

Discussion in 'December 2013' started by roscoe36, Oct 21, 2013.
One more loss and Detroits win pct is lower than Khris Middletons 3-point pct.
Pope has to be aggressive and practice is shot from everywhere. Currently he is more of a perimeter shooter who tends to leave the in the paint shots to the bigs. That would be great if he were hitting them... The only other issue is I have seen him blow layups too, so our "shooting guard" has shooting issues. In 29 games over all Pope is 74-204 for 36.3% shooting. He is 48 for 120 from inside the arc for 40% and 26-84 for 31% shooting from beyond the arc. In contrast Singler is shooting 47.2% on 85-180 shooting and 36.1% for his three point shooting. Pope needs to be more aggressive when he gets the ball and at least go the hoop. He has the third best FT shooting on the team, but has only gone to the line 27 times (21-27). In contrast, Bynum has gone to the FT line 35 times in 400 less minutes. Players my start to become reluctant to pass the ball to him if he is not going to shoot and like LA Piston says, if he gets it and holds it for a few seconds and passes again, it could cause the next player to rush the shot. I know he is a rookie, but you almost would rather have the aggressive rookie learn from mistakes than be the passive on offense. That is the probable reason as to why he averages only 23 mins a game and the other 4 starters average 34. When we need offense, Mo will sacrifice the defense of Pope. Every team has a starter that doesn't score, but I don't think any of us saw a lottery pick rookie starting in the back court that was averaging less than 7ppg. It reminds me of Mike Curry 11-12 years ago starting at forward who was there for defense only and gave us about 5 pts a game.
I think Pope struggling is more symptom than cause. He doesn't get a lot of good shots. I think the ball would move a lot more if Monroe shot more from 18-20'.
Pope just doesn't have confidence, and from what I can tell, he knows he's on a team with chuckers. He knows J Smoove and Jennings gotta get their shots, and the Pistons paid those guys this off season. Pope will work his way up the ladder. With that said, Alf took him to task in the first few minutes last night. He wanted that ball in the post, got it, and fundamentally took him for three fairly easy 8-12 footers. Alf looks good man, he's a solid player.
Alf has been a top 5 SG for a couple of years now and with Kobe down he's probably top 3.
I disagree with that one pretty strongly. Dwyayayane Wade James Harden Joe Johnson Goran Dragic All superior. I'd throw in Beal there too.
Joe Johnson is worse on both ends of the floor. Dragic isn't very close either.
You said a couple of years. I'd take JJ, DWade, Harden and Dragic over Alf over the last 3. In fact, chuck Gordon Hayward in the mix as well as well to make it a nice 5. Johnson is a better defender, and also remarkably consistent. The only downside is that massive contract. Dragic looks like the real deal in Phoenix this year.
Top 3 referred to now. Dragic over the last 3 seasons? He looks great now but he wasn't even above average two seasons ago, nor a SG before this season. Hayward is mainly a forward and hasn't really played any SG before this season nor is he elite at that position. Wade, Kobe, Johnson and Harden are the players who can make a legimate claim to being better than Alf over the last three years. Maybe Manu if he hadn't played about 20 minutes per game. JJ a better defender?!? Alf is one of the best perimeter defenders in the L and maybe the second best defensive SG after Tony Allen. JJ is at tops a slightly above average defender the few games he tries to be. The reason he used to be better than Alf was because of his offense, when Joe was an all-star and Alf a defensive role player.
Reading how much we regret trading Afflalo makes me wonder if at some point this season or the next one will we regret trading Khris Middleton?? I think he is doing a better job than Singler...
Middleton was thought to have some upside when he was drafted. He was going to be a late lottery pick before his injury in college. Remember that he actually cracked our starting rotation last season and looked decent.
I liked Middleton
No way I take Dragic, Johnson or Beal over Alf.

How come nobody has started a thread with DragonCon pics yet? I didn't get to go and I always like seeing pics of what went down there, and get an idea what to expect next year.
How come nobody has started a thread with DragonCon pics yet? I didn't get to go and I always like seeing pics of what went down there, and get an idea what to expect next year.
Tons have been posted on Facebook.
Here is a link to this weeks iReport on CNN. They cover Dragon Con, I believe Novall and his custom are seen in the parade clips
I arrived in town around 3:30 on Friday. After unloading the truck, and checking in to my room, I break out my Commander Gree armor and hit the circuit.
(Thanks to TD-4694 for taking those!)
Saturday morning was the parade⦠this year was awesome because I had two BARC troopers backing me up. While I don't have pictures, one of the highlights of the parade was a full-on Mad Max group, complete with the battle wagon with the two corpses up front and the hockey mask muscle dude. Search Flicker, you'll see 'em. Thousands upon thousands of people lined the streets.
Here's some misc costumes that looked great on Saturday...
Last edited by TD1536; Sep 11, 2009 at 9:11 PM.
Saturday night, I stumbled upon the most obvious, yet most appropriate costuming group I've ever seen. WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS!???
The Team USA Drinking Team
how about the Jew Man Group!
This costume won first place in the masquerade, basically the 'Best of Show'. The Alien Nostromo space suit.
ok, here's some with me in them
I found this guy. Great 40 years of military retrospective. Vietnam 1968 - Afghanistan 2009.
Strength and Honor.
Ok, here's something for the ladies
Let's check out the HUGE G.I.Joe and Cobra group this year.
Check out the B.A.T!
and here I am with the Commander himself.
moving on to a few Star Wars related costumes...
And a Steam Punk inspired Boba Fett
speaking of Steam Punk, how about the X-Men?!
(note: I didn't take this picture, but thought it was a nice photo of the group)
This Bumblebee was one of the best costumes all weekend. Totally articulate, with neat-o lights.
Tony Stark.
This dude was flying solo and passing out cards...
But then the real Tony Stark showed up proper.
Oh, Miss Pepper Pots you dirty birdie.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by floskate, Jan 19, 2013.
Very elegant...which isn't my usual reaction to a cake!
AFAIK they were invited as guests, not invited as reporters to cover the event. There's a big difference.
I dunno, if you don't want to have people talk about your event online or posting anything, you don't invite social media addicts. -shrug-
Even Brian Boitano posted a picture of the cake, so all this is probably okay and was expected by the couple. At least it looks like nobody was snapping pictures of the ceremony on their iPads. I went to a wedding where someone was doing just that.
I think it's one of those things where Kwan doesn't want to invite the media to make a big public spectacle of the event, but doesn't mind if people just shared photos on their own social media accounts.
Also, an article and picture was published covering the event, so Kwan knows that her wedding would invite some media attention.
I think it's a good balance. Give enough tidbits to appease fans, but keep it private enough for Kwan and Pell's comfort.
I agree.
Nothing that has been shared by the attendees has been inappropriate, IMO.
Congratulations! Very happy for her!
Second...Do I see a Vbet in our future?
Yes, and he idolizes her, has since the Lyra days. He had never met her in person until San Jose last yr and he was thrilled to do so.
He wrote a very nice tribute to her on the IN biography page.
If People magazine will be publishing a story and photos of the wedding in their next issue, I'd say Michelle and Clay had no problem with media being there. Maybe they just wanted to control which media? Perfectly fair, I think.
Looks to me like they wanted it kept quiet to the runup in order to keep whackadoo fans from being obnoxious, but after the event, they're perfectly happy to share what happened.
^^ Exactly, ITA, as has already been said numerous times. Anita18 said it best: Michelle and Clay "are not dummies." No way they weren't aware that Phil and Christine would be tweeting photos and tidbits before and after the ceremony and during the reception. No way that Phil and Christine would have been doing so without M&C knowledge and approval. The questioning of it is much ado about nothing, IMHO. There are obviously many people Michelle and Clay care about who couldn't attend, so the tweets and photos were a great way of sharing in real time. It bears repeating: Kween is definitely "no dummy."
That's lovely and very sweet of Grant. Thanks for pointing it out.
And you know this how?
OMG I am in tears. I am three years older than Michelle but I remember being 16 and watching Michelle at 13 at the Olympic Trials and I just feel like I grew up right along side her. There was a point between 1999-2001 where I was not as involved in watching skating but I always would go online to see what Michelle was up to. And then the 2002 Olympics made me the uber I am today. I am so proud to be her fan! She has grown into an amazing woman.
I meant 'gun-toting policeman'. Fixed.
ETA: I want to see that traditional red dress too!
Michelle Kwan has touched my heart, more deeply than I ever knew. I used to follow every competition and performance she gave. Then, after life took us all away in different directions, I didn't follow skating so much. A few champions caught my interest (Davis/White, Virtue/Moir, Kim Yeon-Ah)...I would catch their highlights and still, never with the same depth nor interest as I had felt following the career of Ms. Kwan. Now, with her wedding, I find myself in the old fascination, searching for pictures, revisiting old performances (thanks to all who have posted links), and feeling somehow involved. She is a very special person; I am blessed with her presence in my life. May Mr. Pell cherish and adore her, as we all have.
Given that Clay works for the National Security Council, I would *hope* he would be able to help plan a wedding in secret.
Indeed! Wonderful memories, UGG. Thanks for sharing.
What might it take to quash your niggling worries about "photo-tweeting at MK's wedding," overedge? What, are you practicing to be a prosecutor or are you secretly interested in a career in PI, CSI, or more aptly WSI (wedding scene investigation). Perhaps it will take MK herself wielding Clay's saber to burst your unwieldy bubble.
But since it matters less than nothing and your worries and fault-finding are as usual so much ado about nothing, let me just say for once and for all, Michelle and Clay clearly had to be aware that members of the media whom they invited to their wedding would be sharing some tweets and photos. M&C most likely felt it would be a good way to share with friends, family and fans who were not present. But go ahead and continue making a big deal about it if doing so is important to you. BTW, in regard to Michelle Kwan, maybe I'm clairvoyant or maybe NOT. Who cares?
Ha ha, yes, I read your post twice and I realized you were referring to the security detail at the church. After all, the governor of Rhode Island was there along with other politicos including the Kween bride, and her Coast Guard lieutenant groom who happens to work at the White House. I had to read your post twice, because in that very short clip, my eyes were preoccupied with looking at the Kween and her sister Karen.
im a guy and yet im pretty close to tears
im so melodramatic no? i feel like my big sister just got married..lmao
Oi I need a slap
Michelle is really grown up!!!
Additional reports, but nothing new so far, altho' I hadn't seen the aol video before, even tho' it's not new info:
http://gymtruthteller.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/michelle-kwan-gets-married/ (This blog compiles all articles, tweets, and photos)
Michelle's wedding is now trending #1 on Yahoo!! That's great. People Magazine sort of has the corner on Michelle's wedding. Hopefully, we will see her other two dresses when People hits the newsstands on Friday. Looking forward to it. I also read on Paula Abdul's twitter page that an original song called "My Everything" was written for Michelle and Clay by Donnie Demers and performed by his brother, Jimmy. I have heard a lot about them, but they are not that well known. They are friends of Michelle, and they are very talented musicians. I'd love to hear the song.
What other two dresses? Did she wear a Chinese red one?
Trending #1 doesn't mean it's the top-searched term.
The "trends" are manually picked.
I can see if I can get an advance of the People coverage.
Jimmy & Donnie Demers Live:
I am not certain, but I read that she had a short dress for dancing and a traditional red dress as well. My guess--and it is only a guess--is that the red one might be in the Chinese tradition. ??? If this is true, she probably changed at the reception.
Again thanks for pointing that out, kwanette. On his IN bio page, Grant indicates that he "started skating at age 9 after being inspired by watching Michelle Kwan in the 1998 Olympic Winter Games." He goes on to say:
best set of pics yet! flower girls, even, and shots of her parents
I'm surprised Michelle didn't wear the good luck charm her grandmother gave her.
Mrs. Kwan looked smashing. Never seen her with long hair before.
Need to check the MKForum to see if maybe she sent them some special pics.
Thanks, kwanette!
!! I just saw this! Congratulations to Michelle and Clay, I hope they have many happy years together! And now I can share my birthday with their wedding anniversary as well!
It may have been pinned inside her dress. Many brides do that
I understand that she had a traditional red dress for the reception, as well.
She likely wore it there.

Referential transparency
From HaskellWiki
Referential transparency is an oft-touted property of (pure) functional languages, which makes it easier to reason about the behavior of programs. I don't think there is any formal definition, but it usually means that an expression always evaluates to the same result in any context. Side effects like (uncontrolled) imperative update break this desirable property. C and ML are languages with constructs that are not referentially transparent.
As an example, consider the following program in Standard ML:
print "h"; print "a"; print "h"; print "a"
which prints "haha". In an attempt to factor out the repetition, we write
let val ha = (print "h"; print "a") in ha; ha end
but now the laugh is on us, because "ha" is only printed once. The reason is that print's side effect is realized when ha gets bound, so we should have written
let fun ha () = (print "h"; print "a") in ha (); ha () end
Haskell's monadic I/O system distinguishes between values and actions like the print procedure above. So we do indeed have that
putChar 'h' >> putChar 'a' >> putChar 'h' >> putChar 'a'
is equivalent to
let ha = putChar 'h' >> putChar 'a' in ha >> ha
This example is taken from
- Philip Wadler. How to declare an imperative. ACM Computing Surveys, 29(3):240--263, September 1997. [1]
Some definitions of referential transparency are summarized in a USENET post by Tom DeBoni [2]

Arsenal train in Germany - Picture special
Arsenal trained in Germany on Sunday as they prepare to crank up the intensity of their pre-season programme.
Arsene Wenger's squad were put through a light session in the picturesque surroundings of the Club's training camp in Bonn.
Gervinho, fresh from his two-goal debut against FC Cologne, took part despite picking up a knock on Saturday and young striker Benik Afobe was also involved.
Our Club photographer is in Germany and has sent back his first batch of pictures.


text: It seems like this show is getting the most attention in the general TV thread. Some of it even good! I liked last week's pilot episode enough to stick around for at least another month of episodes. Hopefully this is one of those shows that grows in quality each week, which will mean I'll stick with this one to the end. Last week's episode got good ratings, so that's a good sign. From this article: For those who missed last week's debut, here's info about the premise from the show's wikipedia entry: If you missed the premiere from last Monday, here are links to the networks airing the show in the U.S.A. and Canada: NBC (U.S.A. viewers) Citytv (Canadian viewers)

Ryo says getting his first taste of professional football at Feyenoord last season was vital for his development after coming straight from Japanese High School.
The teenage winger signed a long-term contract with Arsenal in January and immediately joined the Dutch giants on loan in order to help his adjustment to European football while awaiting the work permit he required to play in England.
After scoring on his first appearance at De Kuip, Feyenoord's home ground, Ryo shone in the Eredivise and became an instant fans' favourite with his direct nature and dazzling skill.
"It was my first year as a professional and, even though it was only half of a season, it was a great experience," he told Arsenal.com.
"I was lucky to be there and play, I was surrounded by both nice fans and staff and I am grateful to all of them.
"When I was loaned out to Feyenoord, I felt some kind of connection."
Such was Ryo's impact during his time in Holland, the 18-year-old was dubbed 'Ryodinho' by the Dutch media. But the teenager admits he has some way to go before he can be compared to the two-time World Player of the Year.
"Yes, I believe they compare me to Ronaldinho," he said. "But I can't hold a candle to him.
"There needs to be a lot of hard work in order to catch up with and overtake him!"Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

ANGELIC GIRL is among the recent digital collages Seller is showing at Nestor Gallery.
When Assistant Professor Wendy Seller 75 AE began experimenting with art and design software a couple of years ago, she
didn't realize it would lead her to paint and create her own work in a radically different
way. As a neosurrealist painter, she had
been committed to working in oil – using a brush and canvas. However, her process took an unforeseen turn that she was eager to fully explore and refine during her recent sabbatical from RISD.
Seller began digitally manipulating scanned images of her paintings, playing around in Illustrator to create entirely new hybrid compositions. Before long, she was combining collaged elements of her paintings with art historical
references and scanned images of three-dimensional objects from nature.
began dissecting, recomposing, analyzing and manipulating past and current
works," Seller explains. "I discovered a new way of working that was not only liberating, but pure
play!" Now, she says, she "moves back and
forth fluidly between the computer and direct painting" – a process that allows for "perpetual
Seller's creative explorations resulted in a new series of work that's currently on view in Letting Loose: Digital Collages. The solo show continues through March 6 at Milton Academy's Nesto Gallery in Milton, MA.
Seller's work is based on assembling fragments of historical art paintings and
reconfiguring them," says art faculty member and Nesto Gallery Director Anne
Neely. "In discovering parts of paintings, she takes them out of their setting
and creates new meaning for them in more contemporary ways."

I don't know about you but when I'm using MS Excel I'm always merging cells to make everything look "just right".
The problem is that once cells are formatted that way there are a lot of things you may try to do with your worksheet that will not work with cells merged.
So, now what?
Well, I usually find myself separating any merges so that I can proceed with my work. (Of course, it has dawned on me that if I wait to merge them until the end then this isn't necessary but the truth is that I never seem to be truly done… so it's separating them that I must do.)
If you have just a couple of merge locations then it's not a big problem to quickly find them.
But what if they're spread out all over the place or you don't remember where they are?
Do you sit and scroll through the worksheet hoping to find them all?
I hope not – at least I wouldn't, not when I can make Excel do the work for me.
Good, then let's take a look.
The feature we're using today is the Find and Replace dialog box. Believe it or not, Find and Replace can be used to locate any cell with a certain formatting so that's exactly what we intend to do.
To begin you need to start the Find and Replace feature. You'll find that Ctrl + F does the trick fastest but just for the record, it's located in the Edit menu, or for Word 2007 users it's on the Home tab of the Ribbon.
Once looking at the Find and Replace dialog box you need to do two things. 1) Make sure that the Find What field is empty except for the cursor and, 2) click the Options button so that it's expanded to look like this:
Next we need to click the Format button.
In the Find Format dialog box go to the Alignment tab, check the Merge Cells box and click OK.
Back in the Find and Replace dialog box you're ready to either Find Next or Find All.
If you Find Next then Excel will move the selection to the next set of merged cells.
If you click Find All Excel will give you a list at the bottom of the dialog box where locations of merged cells are located.
You'll find that the locations are linked to their locations. Click on any of them and Excel takes you to that location.
And… in case you aren't aware… you can edit a worksheet with the Find and Replace dialog box open. Just slide it out of the way and get to work – but don't bother closing it – this will allow you to jump from place to place on the list without starting over.
No more slow manual searches for you… find one or all but be sure to make Excel do the looking.
~ April

I am looking to buy a DSLR. and my budget is £350 ( body ) and usual £80 worth 50mm.
I like both Canon and Nikon. Used my friends cameras. and I love both. I am a intermediate level Photoshop and Lightroom user. So I am not a fan of fancy camera features. and I am not going to print them, so Megapixcels are not important to me.
I cant go for a big budget because its for my hobby.
First I would like to buy a brand new 600D (£300 body ) and a 50mm brand new lens. Which is cost around £380 in total.
But I am here for experts advice. Can I buy a 40D used body for around £280 + 50mm brand new lens ?
( Movie is not important for me. but if I have it on my camera, Ill try )
Or I have another thing on my mind.
How about Used Nikon D90 for £280 and brand new 50mm D lens for £90
The reason I am talking about Nikon, I can use their old F mount lens without any adepter. ( I cant afford for D7000 for its manual autofocus confirmation function ) Is it worth ?
or any other opinions?
Thank You in advance.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates made known his opposition to changes in the location of Marine Corps bases in Japan. The people of Okinawa want current plans on the coast of Nago to be halted and Marines be sent somewhere outside of the island. Gates apparently fears such action might be the prelude to a complete overhaul of America's bilateral agreements with Japan. It appears the Japanese government is sympathetic to the desires of Okinawans for American troops to leave their island.
It is now the yea 2008. Why are there American troops stationed in Japan? Initially, they were occupation troops, and when the Korean War occurred, they were assumed to offer protection against possible Chinese military actions. That era died a few decades ago. There is no longer any threat from either China nor Russia. The North Koreans apparently are on the road to resolving most of their issues with the West. Why are American troops in Japan when real issues of security are happening in other parts of the world? Those forces would be of greater value stationed for ready alert to respond to possible terrorist threats.

A Fool's Introduction to Indexes
Index Center
How many times have you heard someone ask, "How'd the market do today?" But what is "The Market?" And how do we know how it did? Usually, the answer reflects the performance of an index, rather than the market as a whole.
Back in 1896, Charles Dow created a benchmark of 12 large U.S. companies to serve as an indicator of how well stocks in general performed each day. That was the first broad-market index and it is still the one that is most often used to answer the question, "How'd the market do today?" In the years since 1896, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has been expanded to include 30 top U.S. companies, and many other indexes have been devised. Still, the Dow remains the most influential stock index in the world.
But the Dow cannot be all things to all people. A broader stock market index, the S&P 500, is also quoted often. As you might guess, the S&P 500 is a listing of 500 of the largest market cap companies traded on U.S. exchanges. It was created and is maintained by Standard and Poor's Index Services along with the S&P 400 (400 top mid-sized companies), the S&P 600 (top 600 small companies) and a couple dozen international and global indexes.
What all indexes have in common is that the value of the index changes proportionally to the value of the stocks in the index. So when the index goes up, the aggregate value of the stocks on the index has grown by a proportional amount, and vice versa.
Other organizations have created their own list of companies that measure "the market" or a particular subset of the market. There are indexes that track every publicly traded stock (the Wilshire 5000), the top 100 stocks traded on the Nasdaq exchange (the Nadsaq 100), biotech stocks, utility stocks, pet superstore stocks, and stocks that start with J. (Kidding about those last two, but check back next year. Indexes are a booming business.)
The best thing about indexes is that you can invest in them. Instead of investing in a mutual fund that pays some Harvard MBA stock picker a salary slightly larger than the GDP of some third-world countries, index investments simply buy the stocks that make up a particular index. Voila! Instant fund sans the human element. And that's a good thing.
Investment returns for index funds will closely match the performance of the index as long as expenses are low. This is good news for investors who may be tired of paying that Harvard grad to underperform the market, as about 80% of managed mutual funds do. Index investing is perfect for novice investors who just want the benefits of stock ownership without either the hassle or the risks that are inherent in picking your own stocks.
In our Mutual Funds area we discuss why investors should consider investing in index products. Before you start putting money in an index, however, take the time to look at a few of the major broad-market indicators to get a better feel for just what an index measures. We've gathered some basic facts and figures to help you get a feel for each:
- Top-weighted companies
- Industry composition
- Performance over 1- and 3-year periods
- Strengths and weaknesses

Alright I received Clint's helmet yesterday afternoon and I do have to say that Chris is a craftsman, another great premium bucket blank and ready for paint. I do have to say I love the fact that Chris includes a copy of the photo cell that is seen in the Polaroid lens on the ESB RF.
I got a chance to roughly cut out the t-visor and and drilled all the holes for the ear caps. Tonight I will sand down and smooth out the section of the T-visor that I cut out and if it comes in the mail today I will lay down a primer coat as well. On Thursday I plan to get the cold cast ear caps drilled and mounted and then onto laying some color on this bad boy!!!

- - E-collar vibrate (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-theory-methods/462657-e-collar-vibrate.html)
E-collar vibrate
I recently bought and educator 300ts for my 3.5 yo GSD. I have read and read and read and read about e-collar training and have watched tons of videos. Tonight we put the collar on him and attempted to find his working level. I could feel it on myself at 15, and it was 'uncomfortable' at 20. (it feels like a TENS unit, for anyone that has ever seen a PT or chiro that uses those). When we got to 25 and Jackson wasn't feeling anything, we decided to try the vibrate instead. The vibrate makes him respond perfectly.
So, long story short, is it ok to just use the vibrate option? Everything I've read talks about using the vibrate after the dog learns with the conventional electric stimulus. Will I be doing any damage/need to back track training later by starting with the vibrate?
Thanks! :)
my girl has the same issue. Its her thick fur that makes the shock inconsistent,so I just use the vibe function and she knows. They have a new stretch collar that may help?
This is probably your issue.
"After putting the Ecollar on the dog there's one last thing to be done. Grasp the box and gently press it into the dog's neck, wiggling it back and forth a little bit, as you do. Think of using the contact points to part the dog's hair and get it to sit directly against his skin. This is especially important with long haired dogs, especially those with an undercoat. It's not as important as dogs with short hair or those that don't have an undercoat. The idea is to get the contact points to make good contact with the skin of the dog's neck."
This could also be part of the problem.
"If your dog has a very long coat or a double coat as some breeds do, you may find that you need to get longer lengths of contact points from the manufacturer of your Ecollar. They need to be long enough so that they can penetrate through the dog's coat. If they don't, you'll never get good contact no matter how much you tighten the strap."
Fit An Ecollar
I found with my dog when I follow the normal instructions about how snugly to fit the collar, it often ends up too tight and sits at a slight angle on his neck bones and makes unreliable contact. It's also incredibly hard to find his lowest working level if there's no clearly obvious muscle twitching. He will only respond to a test stim with the usual ear flick, air lick, etc. exactly once. I have to wait a few minutes to try again and confirm he's actually feeling it.
Thank you both.
We do have the extra long attachments on him because although he is short haired GSD it's obviously quite thick. It feels as if it's against his skin, but of course it's impossible to tell.
We will keep working with him tomorrow! The vibe gets him to jump up immediately, which makes me think it may even be TOO much for him.

Hello everyone. I need some advice on painting a Rubies Boba bucket for my wife. I've never worked with vinyl before, and I'd like to find out a few things before I have to start on it.
1) If I properly sand and primer, will enamel paint from a rattle can hold on the vinyl? I found one thread that said silver enamel could be a problem.
2) What is the best material, durability wise, for filling in the dent? And can filler be applied to smooth out the irregularities on the dome?
Any information is appreciated. I didn't have a lot of luck searching for these specific matters. Although a lot of the threads showing the work of TDH members have been very informative. This site and its members' work are great.

Study: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Have Caused Irreversible Effects on Sea-Level Rise
Tiffany Kaiser

(Source: climatepedia.org)
Emissions up until this point have ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000
A new study has found that it's too late to reverse the
effects that greenhouse gas emissions will have
on sea levels over the next thousand years -- but we could lessen the impact of these effects if proper changes are made.
According to research by scientists at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Universit
é catholique de Louvain, greenhouse gas emissions produced up to this point has ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000. This number could increase, they warn, if no action is taken to reduce these levels -- and the effects could extend into thousands of years into the future.
The research team came to this conclusion by modeling sea-level changes over thousands of years while including all of our planet's ice sheets and warming of the oceans into its projections. This includes glaciers, ice caps and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The team said this has never been done before.
Using a climate modeling system called LOVECLIM, the team analyzed several scenarios over the next thousand years. It found that there will be a sea-level rise of at least 1.1 meters by the year 3000, but if other certain emissions scenarios were followed, it could increase to 2.1, 4.1 or even 6.8 meters.
The study also found that the Greenland ice sheet was the cause of over half of the sea-level rises while thermal expansion of the ocean came in second place and glaciers/ice came in third.
"Ice sheets are very slow components in the climate system; they respond on time scales of thousands of years," said Professor Philippe Huybrechts, co-author of the study. "Together with the
long lifetime of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
, this inertia is the real poison on the climate system; anything we do now that changes the forcing in the climate system will necessarily have long consequences for the ice sheets and sea level.
"Ultimately, the current polar ice sheets store about 65 metres of equivalent sea level and if climatic warming will be severe and long-lasting, all ice will eventually melt. Mankind should limit the concentration of greenhouse gases at the lowest possible level as soon as possible. The only realistic option is a drastic reduction of the emissions. The lower the ultimate warming will be, the less severe the ultimate consequences will be."
