text: Retrospective moves on to the 1992 Olympics The key facts in relation to these Olympics are:- Kurt Browning was the favourite going into the Olympics. He was the reigning world champion, and had won the world title on 3 consecutive occasions between 1989-91. However, he had been hampered throughout the 1991/92 season by a back injury. Although he had won Trophée Lalique, also held in Albertville, earlier in the season, his programs contained many mistakes due to the back problem. Moreover, he was off the ice for 6 weeks after Trophée Lalique due to his injury problems, and missed Canadian Nationals as a result. Hence, the Olympic competition was his first competition since Trophée Lalique in 3 months. In his short program at the Olympics, he fell on the 3A part of his 3A+3T combination and two footed the landing on his 3Z. Consequently, this left Browning in just 4th place after the short program. The short program was won by Viktor Petrenko (runner up at the previous 2 world championships to Browning, and who had struggled at Europeans just a few weeks before, finishing 2nd behind Petr Barna after a poor SP) with a superb performance (3A+3T, 3Z, 2A). Hence, Petrenko led going into the long program, with Barna 2nd and Wylie 3rd. A poor SP had left Bowman in 7th place. Petrenko then won the free skate with a good, but conservative, long program, to take the Olympic title (becoming the first Soviet skater to win the Men's title, albeit 2 months after the dissolution of the USSR). Browning had a disastrous free skate which dropped him to 6th place overall. The surprise of the Men's competition, apart from Browning's 6th place, was Paul Wylie who had never previously been placed higher than 9th at a world championships, and that was back in 1988. A good short program had left Wylie in 3rd after that segment, and then he performed the FS of his life to finish 2nd in the LP. That won him the silver medal. He had skated so poorly at U.S. Nationals just a few weeks prior to the Olympics (finishing 2nd behind Bowman), that although Wylie was selected for the Olympic team, Mark Mitchell was selected instead of him for the 1992 World Championships. In fact, after his FS at Nationals, Wylie thought he had blown his chance of Olympic selection as Sports Illustrated point out: "In 11 years of major competitions, Wylie either fell or staggered through his routines. He knew it, his parents knew it, the Scotvolds knew it. He didn't stand up under pressure. It had happened as recently as last month's U.S. nationals, an event Wylie has never won; he skated so poorly that he changed into his street clothes before the medals ceremony, only to discover that his chief competitors had also botched their programs and that he'd finished second, qualifying for Albertville. "I'd already moved on to the rest of my life, mentally," said Wylie last week. [In his free skate at the Olympics, Wylie] skated by far the most compelling program of the night. As Wylie so elegantly showed on this evening, jumping is only one way to get the fans out of their seats. Skating to the theme from the movie Henry V, he mesmerized the audience with his dynamic spins, dramatic lines and flawless timing. Wylie's three Russian splits at the end of his program, his toe picks slapping the palms of his hands, called to mind 1984 gold medalist Scott Hamilton and brought the spectators to their feet for the only time all night." European champion, Petr Barna, won the bronze medal, landing the first ever quad (a 4T) at the Olympics in his FS. He had been in 2nd place heading in to the LP, but mistakes in his FS dropped him down in to the 3rd place overall. Christopher Bowman finished a disappointing 4th overall. Kristi Yamaguchi and Midori Ito were the favourites going into the Olympics. At U.S. Nationals, a few weeks prior to the Olympics, Yamaguchi had performed the best free program of her life, in which she even managed to successfully land her bete noire, the triple salchow. In fact, the performance was practically flawless and Sports Illustrated described it as one of the most "complete performances on ice". There were 7 triples, which included a 3Zx3T combination, 3Z, 3S, 3R, 3T, and 3F. At the Olympics, Yamaguchi won the short program with a faultless performance which included a 3Z+2T combination. Midori Ito fell on the 3Z part of her combination, which left her in 4th place after the SP. She had been intending to do a 3A instead of 3Z in her combination, but she had failed to land the 3A in practice before the SP. Hence, her coach instructed her to change it to a 3Z. Hence, going into the LP, Yamaguchi led, with Kerrigan 2nd, Bonaly 3rd, and Ito 4th. Harding trailed in 6th place after a disastrous SP in which she fell on a 3A attempt. Yamaguchi then won the LP, despite a fall on a 3R and doubling out on a 3S, to take the Olympic title. In winning, she became the first American ladies singles skater to win the Olympic title since Dorothy Hamill in 1976. Midori Ito took the Silver medal by moving up from 4th after the SP to 2nd overall, after finishing 2nd in the LP. She landed the first ever 3A by a ladies skater at the Olympics in her FS, but she fell on her other 3A attempt in her LP and doubled out on the 3Z part of a combination. After falling on a 3A in her SP, Tonya Harding also fell on her 3A attempt in her FS. Nevertheless, she did enough in her LP to move her up from 6th place to 4th overall. Nancy Kerrigan, who was in 2nd after the SP, made several mistakes in her FS, but did enough to win the Bronze medal. Surya Bonaly fell from 3rd to 5th place overall after a poor FS. Natalia Mishkutenok & Artur Dmitriev win the Olympic pairs title. They were the reigning world champions and the favourites going into the competition, and they won the Olympic title easily (winning both the SP and LP). They had struggled with their SBS 2A's in practice prior to the SP, but when it counted most, they landed them in competition in their SP. Mishkutenok did single out on hers in the FS, and had a double footed landing during the SBS 3T in the LP, but they were their only mistakes, and their combination of athleticism and artistry put them well ahead of the competition. Their signature move, the "Natasha's spin" (named after Mishkutenok), in which Mishkutenok would perform a split with her head turned upside down with her arm around Dmitriev's leg (whilst Dmitriev held her upraised skate), to achieve a position in which they were vertically aligned during the spin, was included in both their short program and their Liebestraum long program. They would attempt to retain their Olympic title 2 years later at the 1994 Olympics, but finished 2nd to Gordeeva and Grinkov. Mishkutenok retired after the 1994 Olympics, but Artur Dmitriev teamed up with Oksana Kazakova and went on to win a 2nd Olympic title with Kazakova at the 1998 Olympics. Elena Bechke & Denis Petrov win the Silver medal. Like Mishkutenok & Dmitriev, they were coached by Tamara Moskvina. Moskvina would accomplish the same feat of coaching both the Gold and Silver medalists at an Olympics 6 years later, at the 1998 Olympics in which Dmitriev & Kazakova won the Gold, and Elena Berezhnaya & Anton Sikharulidze won the Silver. As a competitor, Moskvina finished 5th with Alexei Mishin at the 1968 Olympics, and won the Silver medal at the 1969 World Championships. In winning the 1969 Soviet Championships, they beat both the Protopopovs and Rodnina & Ulanov. As a singles skater, Moskvina is believed to be (although it is not certain) the first skater to perform what is now known as the Biellmann spin at the 1960 European Championships. She was inspired to perform it after seeing a gymnastics competition. Marina Klimova & Sergei Ponomarenko win the Ice Dance title. In doing so, they won every segment - both compulsory dances, the original set pattern, and the free dance. The reigning world champions, the Duchesnay's, were expected to put up a tough fight for the Gold medal, but they got off to a bad start by finishing 3rd in both compulsory dances. However, a 2nd place finish in the OSP moved them up to 2nd overall. The FD was a closely fought battle between K&P and the Duchesnay's, but K&P, with a brilliant program performed to music from Bach (Air from Suite No.3, Toccata and Fugue in D minor), won it narrowly, thereby taking the Olympic title. The Duchesnay's won the Silver, with Maya Usova & Alexander Zhulin taking the Bronze. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991 into 15 post Soviet states/republics, 6 of those republics performed as a joint team at the 1992 Winter Olympics just a few months later. This was known as the "Unified Team," and it was made up of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Armenia.

Park City Mountain Resort played a feature role Wednesday in a national television promotion of the Sochi Winter Olympics, which begin Feb. 6, 2014, in the southern Russian city.
Staff of the Utah resort built a slopestyle skiing course in New York City's Rockefeller Center, home to the Today Show on NBC, which has the U.S. rights to broadcast the Sochi Games next year.
Slopestyle will make its debut as a sport in Sochi, less than a month after the U.S. Olympic freeskiing slopestyle and halfpipe teams are named at Park City Mountain Resort. The announcement ceremony is part of a partnership between the U.S. Olympic Committee and Park City-based Powdr Corp., parent company of Park City Mountain Resort.
The Rockefeller Center course was built with snow from Vermont's Killington Resort, which also is owned by Powdr Corp. Once it was in place, Park City All Star Tom Wallisch and two other slopestyle team members, Bobby Brown and Keri Herman, showed Today watchers what kind of action to expect from the new sport.

Free boone
he's ok. intelligent enough if rarely funny, sometimes he gets repetitive... seems like he used to talk about his knees a lot although less so lately.
he does have some passion for the game and is capable of some balanced insights.
i'm just glad i didn't have to listen to those insepid sacramento guys for another game. they are useless.
Can the Utah media group drop this stupid gotcha game they constantly play with each other. We get that you saw it done successfully once and now believe it is a recipe for success like instant potatoes. Every Jazz based programming uses it and it makes them not listenable to me. Instant potatoes suck! Stop the fake fighting, we don't care about you we are here for the Jazz.
Put some respeck in my paycheck
I really liked him a few years ago when he would fill in every once in awhile or sit and talk for 5-10 min, but as soon as it became his job he got obnoxious. If only we could get Bill Walton.
ESPN needs to let Bill Walton do some national games, one of the greatest ever.
I think the combination of a drunk (status quo) Hot Rod with Bill Walton would be the best duo in the league. Nothing would make sense, but it would be a lot of fun.
Every time bolerjack or harping says" there's a glimpse of what Favors can be, he can be special" every time favors does a half decent move I want to kick my neighbor's cat!!

A sea level Golden Horseshoe nominee*
I was reading a sign high on the wall behind the bar:
'Only genuine pre-war British and American whiskeys served here'
I was trying to count how many lies could be found in those nine words, and had reached four, with promise of more …"
Dashiell Hammett, "The Golden Horseshoe"
Google News occasionally throws up some obscure postings that I would never otherwise come across. A recent example was a letter to an editor of a Scottish newspaper (not my usual reading material) declaring that "Climate change is not man-made". The letter itself is uninteresting – a basic confusion between weather and climate seguing into a NIMBY-ish rant about windmills. Ho hum.
However, in one of the comments from a "Dr John Cameron, St Andrews" (posted 9/Oct/2012), there was this unrelated pseudo-factoid:
As regards the catastrophic sea level rise in the Pacific, it became obvious some 20 years ago that results from island tide gauges did not support computer predictions. Scientists from Flinders University in Adelaide set up new, modern, tide-gauges in 12 Pacific islands to test whether there was in fact any evidence of sinking. Recently the whole project was abandoned as there had been no sign whatsoever of a change in sea level at any of the 12 islands for the past 16 years.
Now this is specific enough to probably actually refer to something real, but doesn't pass the sniff test for something that might actually be true. Scientists don't set up monitoring stations only to get the answer they want and then stop monitoring if it doesn't happen. This only happens in the fevered imaginations of conspiracy theorists. So I was intrigued enough to investigate what this actually referred to…
The easiest way to look for this is to search for the exact string – specifically the second sentence. Google comes up with 1000 or so very close antecedents – particularly with the "new, modern, tide-gauges in 12 Pacific islands" section. The links are to comment threads on partisan websites, the standard climate 'skeptic' blogs, and even a mention on SkepticalScience. The comments stretch back around 5 years. Some of the examples give an actual source for the remarks (unlike Dr. Cameron's version) – one Dr. Vincent Gray – a well known pseudo-skeptic. Some even cite the newspaper article they appeared in – a error-ridden puff piece by Lawrence Solomon at the Canadian Financial Post. Curiously, that online version of the article doesn't have a publishing date – though secondary sources suggest it was published on Oct 26th 2007. The lack of a date means that people quoting it often claim that this is a 'recent' claim.
Going back a little further, Gray made similar claims in a July 2007 article:
A claim that Pacific Islands were sinking led to an investigation by Flinders University, Adelaide, which replaced all the tide gauges in 12 Pacific islands to attempt to find out whether it was true. The attempt has now been abandoned as a failure, as none of the 12 islands showed any significant change since 1991. The team tried to save face by claiming that all showed an upwards "trend" because the 1998 hurricane caused a temporary depression in the ocean. Since 1998 all have remained flat, and the main island of contention, Tuvalu, actually rose last year.
This is referenced to an actual report from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology about the "South Pacific Sea Level and Climate Monitoring Project" (SPSLCMP), dated November 2006. Now we are getting somewhere!
There are some obvious signs of confusion in the Gray/Cameron statements. Firstly, the Australian National Tidal Facility (which installed and monitored the tide gauges starting in 1991) used to be managed by Flinders University in Adelaide – but the facility was transferred to the National Tidal Centre run by the Bureau of Meteorology … in 2003!

Hello Lucy!
I need some help regarding concept questions & their tenses (it's my 2nd week as a trainee and I am finding it all very daunting as i have no prior teaching experience!)
1. I wish I didn't live in London (i thought this was the past simple tense?)
This is what I have so far :
Do I live in London now = yes
I hope to leave London
Do i want to stay in london? = no
2. Would you mind opening the window? Not at all (future tense?)
Can you open the window please? = yes
(i'm not sure how to incorporate the "not at all" part so that is all i have so far)
3. You should've locked the window (not sure which tense this is please advise)
Did you close the window? = No
did I tell you to lock the window? = yes
is the window securely closed? = No

It would be kind of interesting to have a fantasy basketball league based purely on per 48min stats.
Fun, as long as Lee356 doesn't play.
This is priceless.
3x as priceless!
Why is Sheed wearing a kippah?
At least 5 of the people in that photo look like zombies.....
Is that Darko sitting next to Sheed?
Mo Cheeks got courtside season tickets?
Instagram Not a tweet, I know, but still priceless.
That's the guy I'm refering to in roscoes sig. If I recall correctly FOX Detroit had an interview with him when the Pistons played in London.
Yea, CV has some good stuff on Instagram. Here is a nice one from the other day. Instagram
That kid is going to be in a dark place at some point this off season. He's the only one in history to double down on cv.
One of the Instagram comments says "this is the last person Charlie will see" I thought that was pretty funny. Sent from outerspace
Why would you get a second tattoo of Charlie V when you already have one? That's asking for another card when you already have blackjack
Even Charlie must think that kid has made two huge mistakes.
Only thing I can figure is that he met CV at Comic Com....
I'd rather walk around with a toilet seat around my neck than a Charlie G jersey.
For some reason, this made me think of the rip impersonator that showed up at the palace a few years ago.
Separate names with a comma.

I have grown up hunting and fishing the Chesapeake Bay and the surrounding rivers and coast my entire life. Some of my favorite memories are fishing for puppy drum and striper on my small 12' aluminum boat on the lafayette river. I have seen the bay and river continually get worse and worse and it honestly seems to keep coming from all directions. This is one I am particularly pissed about because it can be easily controlled and could lead to a great decline in many species around the bay and the overall quality of the bay itself. As much work that has been done to bring fish stocks back like the striped bass and the red drum, a lack of menhaden can lead to the collapse or great reduction of it all. Check out this site as it explains it all and how nothing is being done to stem the overharvest.
This site shows the disease Mycobacteriosis that has been occuring more frquently on striped bass. Its occurence is in line with severly declining menhadem stocks. 70% of the fish in the bay have this disease and it is attributed too poor nutrition and lack of food, especially menhaden. I love striped bass fishing but it is disgustion pulling up a sick fish that is covered in lesions. It almost ruins the fun of catching that fish.

Embedded domain specific language
From HaskellWiki
Embedded Domain Specific Language means that you embed a Domain specific language in a language like Haskell. E.g. using the Functional MetaPost library you can write Haskell expressions, which are then translated to MetaPost, MetaPost is run on the generated code and the result of MetaPost can be post-processed in Haskell.
1 Degree of embedding
There are two major degrees of embedding:
- Shallow embedding: All Haskell operations immediately translate to the target language. E.g. the Haskell expression is translated to aa+blikeStringcontaining that target language expression."a + b"
- Deep embedding: Haskell operations only build an interim Haskell data structure that reflects the expression tree. E.g. the Haskell expression is translated to the Haskell data structurea+b. This structure allows transformations like optimizations before translating to the target language.Add (Var "a") (Var "b")
2 Discussion of common problems
Sharing and recursion are common problems when implementing DSLs. Often some kind of observable sharing is requested that requires a deep embedding.
- Oleg in Haskell-Cafe about Designing DSL with explicit sharing (was: I love purity, but it's killing me)

• Senior Mike Moran leads the Griffs in faceoffs, winning 57.1 percent of restarts (76-of-133).
• The matchup between the New York State foes on Saturday also pits the two dominant schools in the MAAC as of late.
• Canisius and Siena have combined to win four of the last five MAAC titles with the Griffs taking the 2008 and 2012 crowns and the Saints winning in 2009 and 2011. Both schools had zero titles before the 2008 campaign.
• In fact, Canisius and Siena are the only schools active in the MAAC to win a conference title since the 2006 season. In addition, one of the two teams have won or shared each of the regular-season MAAC titles since the 2006 season.
• Sophomore Tim Edwards has taken the lead on the Canisius offense this season.
• Edwards has recorded a team-best 25 points this year, scoring 10 goals to go along with a team-best 15 assists.
• The sophomore currently ranks third in the MAAC with 3.12 points per game. Edwards also places ninth nationally among midfielders in points per game.
• One of the keys for Tim Edwards during his career is his ability to find the open man.
• Edwards leads the Griffs with 15 assists this season, more than double of second.
• The sophomore places second in the MAAC and 21st nationally with 1.88 assists per game. He ranks fifth in the country among midfielders.
• Edwards also led the Griffs with 19 assists last season en route to a MAAC Championship.
• The Griffs and Saints have met 24 prior times. Canisius has played Siena more than any other school in the program's history.
• Canisius holds an 18-6 edge in the all-time series against the Saints.
• Last season, the schools split two games. Siena cruised to a 14-2 win in Loudonville in the regular season before Canisius earned a 10-9 win in the MAAC Championship.
• In the title-game win, Canisius outscored Siena 4-0 in the second half for the 10-9 win.
• The win for Canisius in the conference tournament ended a four-game losing streak in the series.
• Siena enters the game with a 3-7 record and is 1-1 in MAAC play.
• The Saints have won two of their last three games, posting a 13-11 win over Providence on March 23 and earning their first MAAC win of the season last Saturday, 11-8 against Manhattan.
• Conor Prunty leads the Saints with 28 points on 19 goals and nine assists in 10 games.
• Nate Barry ranks second on the team with 26 points, including a team-best 15 assists, while Colin Clive and Kyle Curry are second the team with 16 goals.
• Matt Sharp has started all 10 games in net for Siena, posting a 12.63 goals against average and .514 save percentage.
• Casey Dowd has led the Saints at the faceoff X, winning 54.0 percent of restarts.

Met a forum member at a local pond yesterday morning. he recognized my plate. lol We decided to share a blind and
our dekes. He ended up doubling on a pair of mallards and I missed
Got out again this morning. Not as much moving as yesterday but we were able to call in a large flock of geese as they were on their way out. I ended up with the double this morning and he missed. lol The majority of ducks moved out at first light and we didn't hardly see any movement after that. My other friend patrolled around the pond in his kayak and jumped a scoter just before we left.
All in all a great couple of days just being out on the water. Why would anyone want to sit in a treestand all day?
God I love this sport.

Hi guys. I'm coming to the experts here, you!
I need to make a ripcord housing unit for my kid gauntlets so I can then make a silicone mold of it for for resin pulls. Can someone point me in the right direction to get those middle brass pieces. I can't find them anywhere locally.
I could also "rent" them from someone as I only need them temporarily to make the mold. I'd pay all shipping fees and kick in some extra $$ of course for helping me out.

Accessory Dwelling Units
The Sausalito Planning Commission will hold a public hearing beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 5, 2012 and Wednesday September 19, 2012 in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito on the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance.
Details: The Planning Commission will consider an ordinance amending Title 10 of the Sausalito Municipal Code to permit new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) which meet specific criteria in the R-1, R-2 and R-3 Zoning Districts and legalize existing unpermitted ADUs which meet specific criteria in the R-1, R-2 and R-3 Zoning Districts. ADUs are also known as second units, granny units or in-law units. By way of background, the City adopted regulations in 1984 prohibiting the development of ADUs or second/granny units in all residential zoning districts. As part of the Housing Element Update, the City conducted a survey of residential property owners which indicated 15% of the 700+ survey respondents had an ADU on their property, and another 19% of respondents would be inclined to build an ADU if permitted by the City's regulations.
The community has come to recognize ADUs as a low impact approach to addressing a portion of the community's very low and low income housing needs, and the Housing Element Update thus establishes programs to both allow new ADUs and legalize existing ADUs built without permits. The ADU ordinance would implement the program identified in the draft Housing Element.
The draft ordinance may be reviewed at the Community Development Department, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito, between 7:30 A.M. and 5 P.M., Monday through Thursday and between 7:30 A.M. and noon on Friday or at http://www.ci.sausalito.ca.us/Index.aspx?page=578. Staff reports will be available at the City's website (www.ci.sausalito.ca.us) on the Fridays preceding the Planning Commission meeting. If you have any questions, please contact Lilly Schinsing at 415-289-4134 or email email@example.com. Interested parties are invited to attend the public hearing and/or present written testimony at or before the hearings.

Important Information from the National Park Service re: Fire Danger
" Know Before You Go"
Below are some tips for visitors planning to go to Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate NRA during fire season between June and November, with peak months in September and October when the largest number of hot, dry, windy days usually occur.
Each day during fire season, fire danger is assessed for Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate NRA and is given one of five possible ratings: Low, Moderate, High, Very High or Extreme. This rating is based on both weather and vegetation. When fire danger is elevated, some park activities are restricted to prevent accidental wildfires. To find out the fire danger level and whether any restrictions are in effect, visitors can call a recorded line for each park:
* Point Reyes Fire, Weather, and Tides Information Line - 415-464-5100 x2, x1
* Golden Gate Fire Danger Hotline - 415-561-7400
The information on these phone lines applies only to national park sites, not to state parks, or other public lands and open space. The Golden Gate Fire Danger Hotline provides information for sites north of the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County, as well as sites in San Francisco and San Mateo Counties.
Portable gas stoves are low risk and are allowed under all conditionsat both Point Reyes and Golden Gate. All other kinds of fires may be restricted and are only allowed in a few places even when fire danger is low. A summary of fire danger restrictions that may affect park visitors are as follows:
No beach fires or campfires
No beach fires or campfires
No charcoal barbeques
Mount Vision Road closed to vehicle traffic (Point Reyes NS)
No beach fires or campfires
No charcoal barbeques
Mount Vision Road closed to vehicle traffic (Point Reyes NS)
No smoking on trails or in back country areas
No smoking anywhere in Muir Woods National Monument
Visitors are reminded that permits are always required to make a beach fire at Point Reyes National Seashore. Golden Gate NRA provides fire rings at Muir Beach and Ocean Beach which are available on a first come, first served basis, but a permit is required for groups of 25 or more. The only national park campground in the San Francisco Bay Area where campfires are allowed is at Kirby Cove in the Marin Headlands where permits are also required and designated fire rings are provided.
When the fire danger increases, there are many precautions that can be taken outside of parks as well. Lawn mowers and other power tools could be dangerous since mechanized equipment has also started many wildfires. Remove dead, dry and overgrown vegetation to create defensible space around your home, and be careful not to pull off the road into tall grass which could be ignited by a hot automobile.
In addition to checking the fire danger rating and possible restrictions for Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area, another trip planning resource is the National Weather Service website, which provides detailed fire weather forecasts for different zones within the San Francisco Bay Area.

30/8/2013 - The Current Market SentimentIn a similar reaction of what has happened after the release of June Japanese CPI, USDJPY has got back down after the release of July CPI figure which rose by the fastest pace since 2008 by 0.7% y/y while it was expected to be by 0.6% from 0.4% in June which was the first positive rate since April 2012 showing positive results of BOJ abenomics and no need of further cheap liquidity injection into the Japanese economy for fighting deflation while this figure can open the door for more talking about imposing higher sales taxes after it looked getting cooled recently.
Exploring for Oil in Nicaragua: Friends in High PlacesOn 17 July, Nicaragua announced that US-based Noble Energy would invest $30 million in drilling two offshore wells in the Caribbean—launching Nicaragua's first-ever oil exploration. The wells will be drilled in the Tyra and Isabel blocks, which have undergone nearly 5,000 kilometers of seismic surveying since 2011. But Nicaragua's first exploration will not go off without a hitch—namely, the revival of a nasty territorial dispute with Colombia, and another with Costa Rica.
Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZDUSD climbs on positive revised growth and jobless claims data - EUR dips on soft German unemployment data - Commodity currencies slid as markets caution imminent Western military action into Syria
Precious Metals & Miners Flash Short-Sell SignalIt has been a bumpy ride for precious metal investors over the past couple of years and it unfortunately I do not think its over just yet. The good news is that the bottom has likely been put in for gold, silver and gold miners BUT the recent rally in these metals and miner looks to be coming to an end. While we could see another pop in price over the next week or so the price, volume and momentum see to be stalling out. What does this mean? It means we should expect short term weakness and lower prices over the next month or two.
Another Chance Coming to Buy Mining StocksLast week we wrote: "Technically, the gold stocks continue to follow a typical post-bottom rebound path and look very strong. The daily RSI of GDX is at a 10-month high as GDX consolidates around $30. We'd love to see GDX consolidate for a few weeks but it may break above $31 within days." On Monday and Tuesday GDX traded up to $31 but failed to close above it. Tuesday we saw a nasty bearish reversal which confirms that GDX over the very short-term will correct and consolidate its gains. This is good news as it will alleviate the overbought condition and put the market in position to launch a sustainable breakout around the end of September.
Turbulence in a Changing World as Gold-loving Asia RisesIn 2013 we have seen, so far a massive bear raid on the gold market in the U.S. led by the big banks, JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, who along with their clients engineered the price of gold down, first with massive short positions on COMEX added to by selling over 200 tonnes of the physical stock of gold they held. This added to the persistent selling from the SPDR gold ETF which saw well over 400 tonnes of gold sold from it and a fall of 200 tonnes out of COMEX warehouses. The total was close to 1000 tonnes of gold.
Time for Investors to Hunker DownIt's time to step out from my 'normal' role as the 'energy expert' and make a comment or two on the markets in general, just as a professionatrader who's seen quite a bit in his almost 3 decades of daily experience with capital markets and the way they act. Patterns emerge that aren't foolproof, but they've served well over the years and they are making some very visceral noises to me, even observing the action at longer range on vacation.
Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZDUSD under pressure as investors turn to safe-haven assets - Sterling drops ahead of the BoE's announcement whether to keep interest rates low - Commodities weaker on uncertainty over Fed stimulus and increased tensions in Syria
Lear Capital: When Gold and Silver Owners Got RichAs I watch the parade of anti-gold experts go past my screen during my early day's viewing, one expert drew my ire. It was claimed that the existence of the gold standard, throughout history, has caused recession and depression. So, I decided to give myself a history lesson to find out what he could possibly have been referring to. Here's what I came up with as one possible reference to his claim and an answer to my question: Was it the Gold Standard that brought on recession or was it adherence to the Gold Standard that saved the economy?
Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZDUSD mixed against basket of currencies as durable goods declined - BOE Governor Mark Carney expected to announce rates to remain low - New Zealand trade deficit largest in 10 months (NZ$774 million)
Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZDUSD holds steady with the exception of the EUR - JPY breaks past its range and markets now eye a new level of 100 USD/JPY - Commodity currencies are weaker with NZD reaching its lowest in over 30 days
Oil prices firm in overnight tradingOil prices are in positive territory heading into the last trading session of the week with everything in the complex setting up for a negative week. Supply issues remain in the forefront as the main price catalyst for the complex with mostly positive macroeconomic news hitting the media airwaves. That said the US FOMC meeting minutes raised concern in the marketplace over an early tapering of the massive quantitative easing program currently in play in the US. Many interpreted the minutes as tapering could begin as early as next month. This view has permeated throughout the market sentiment since mid-week and has resulted in light selling in most risk asset markets.
Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZDUSD stronger as Fed minutes reaffirm market expectations of a September taper - EUR flat despite better-than-expected PMI data - Commodity currencies mixed as CAD plunges following weak retail sales data
22/8/2013 - The Current Market SentimentAfter last week release of US jobless claim raised the expectations of having tapering of the Fed's QE next month, yesterday minutes of the last Fed's meeting have brought back the dependency on the economic improvement as it has left the door opened for everything.
Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZDUSD broadly stronger as market awaits FOMC minutes - EUR weaker after hitting a 6-month high vs the dollar in yesterday's session - Commodity currencies broadly weaker as emerging markets struggle
Oil prices drifting lower ahead of EIA reportOil prices are drifting lower ahead of this morning's EIA oil inventory report as well as this afternoon's release of the minutes from the last US Fed FOMC meeting. Last night's API report was mixed with draws in crude oil and gasoline and a build in distillate fuel (see below for more details). The market has been retracing this week in spite of the ongoing supply issues in Libya and now in Iraq. Yesterday the strikes in Libya ratcheted up once again with violence in one of the ports and moves to head off attempts by strikers to sell oil themselves at the largest crude oil terminal according to a report by Reuters. However, the Libyan oil ministry said yesterday that two terminals are ready to resume exports. A mixed picture coming from Libya but one that is still evolving.
NG prices regaining its footing on warm weatherAlthough the spot Nat Gas contract made a pass at the lower range support level in overnight trading the market has since reversed and is now higher on the session after failing to remain below the technical support level of $3.415/mmbtu. With the tropics completely uneventful and the nuclear power sector running at relatively normal levels the only upside price driver for the Nat Gas market will be the weather as the tail end of the summer evolves.
Is India preparing to 'Confiscate' its Citizens' Gold?In 1991, the Indian government pledged the nation's gold reserves against foreign loans that were provided to the nation from international sources. So they have already trodden the path of using gold to support their international presence and in international dealings.
Will the S&P 500 Impact Gold Stocks?With recoveries come questions. Will this last? Is this just setting up a bigger decline? The current recovery in the gold stocks has been both strong and broad based. It has occurred at a time when the stock market seems vulnerable. The stock market is up substantially since 2009. Yet, the most recent gains have resulted almost entirely from margin expansion rather than profit growth. Meanwhile, nominal GDP growth is the lowest ever (ex recessions). Gold stocks are up 16.8% in the last 13 days while the S&P 500 has declined by 3.4%. Should gold stock investors and speculators worry about the effect of a deeper decline or cyclical bear market on the mining sector? History says no.

Prof. White to serve as Associate Dean at JAG
Wayne State University Law School would like to congratulate Professor Katherine E. White on her selection as the reserve Associate Dean of the Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School in Charlottesville, VA.
Since joining the Law School's faculty in 1996, Professor White has taught courses in Patent Law, Patent Enforcement, and Contracts. She is a registered patent attorney.
After receiving her J.D. degree from the University of Washington, Katherine White served on active duty in the Honor's Program of the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps as the Corps of Engineers' Intellectual Property Counsel. She had received her B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University. When she completed her active military service, White clerked for the Honorable Randall R. Rader, Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. She is also a Major (P) in the U.S. Army Reserves.
Professor White's previous appointment with the JAG School had her attached to the Contract and Fiscal Law Department, where she taught courses in government contracting and alternative dispute resolution. Her new appointment at the School elevates her rank to Lieutenant Colonel.
In addition to her military appointments, Professor White was a Fulbright Scholar for 1999-2000 at the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law in Munich, Germany. She is currently the Vice President of the Fulbright Association. From 2001-2002 she served as the White House Fellow assigned to the Secretary of Agriculture; her work was in intellectual property and international trade issues surrounding agriculture and biotechnology, as well as homeland security matters. In 2004 Professor White was appointed to serve on the USDA's Plant Variety Protection Office Advisory Board. She was re-appointed to the Board this year for a second two-year term.
Since 1998 Professor White has served on the Board of Regents for the University of Michigan. She was re-elected to the Board last month for a term that will expire in 2014.
The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School is authorized by Congress to award a Master of Law's degree and has full ABA accreditation. The School began during World War II, was briefly disbanded, and was reestablished at the University of Virginia in 1951. General George Washington established the JAG Corps in 1775; it is considered the oldest law firm in the United States.

It's an issue that's kept us all awake at night: just what should we call the new mega high-definition TV standards? Well now we have an answer...
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has agreed that the new standard for high-definition transmissions will be called UHDTV, or Ultra High Definition Television.
"This is the dawn of a new age for television that will bring unprecedented levels of realism and viewer enjoyment. It's a historic moment," said David Wood, Chairman of ITU-R Working Party 6C.
"Some years will pass before we see these systems in our homes, but come they will. The die is now cast, thanks to the untiring efforts of the international experts participating in WP6C."
Hurrah! No longer will there be confusion, you may be thinking, but not so fast. While the standard has a name, the numbers behind the standard seem surprising, as both 4K and 8K TV will be covered by the same umbrella UHDTV name. When the resolution of 8K (7,680 x 4,320 - 32megapixels) is four times that of 4K (3,840 x 2,160 - 8megapixels), it seems odd not to differentiate them, even if there's an argument for saying they're both 'high enough'.
Then again, this is currently only a recommendation so we could well see these names become more granular.
The first consumer grade TV to offer 4K resolution is the Toshiba 55ZL2 glasses-free 3D TV (pictured), while the first projector is the Sony VPL-VW1000ES. Costing £6,999 and £16,799 respectively, they're a strong indicator that it may be some time before the majority of us have to care too much about exactly what 4K is called, let alone give two hoots about 8K.
Invested in the 4K revolution yet or is HD still enough for you? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

The daughter and grand daughter of legendary Arsenal forward Cliff Bastin were invited by the Club to Emirates Stadium for this season's home match with Birmingham City.
After enjoying the game from the Director's Box, Barbara Lambert and her daughter Paula had the chance to admire Bastin's presence on the first of Emirates Stadium's eight cores - giant panels of artwork that now surround the ground, paying homage to past Club Legends.
They were photographed in front of the image, which shows Bastin in illustrious company, arm in arm with past Club Captain and defender Tony Adams and next to current Barcelona star striker Thierry Henry and 70s midfield maestro Liam Brady.
Barbara Lambert said: "the new picture of dad looks wonderful. As a family we are very proud. The Club treated us so well, I will never forget the day seeing all the images of the Club including dad within the stadium and being able to walk down the tunnel and see the pitch. Mum would have loved to have come, but at 94 it would have been a bit too much. But she has been thrilled to see the pictures of dad on the stadium."
The cores are the keystone of the Club's Arsenalisation project, which is responsible for turning Emirates Stadium into a very visible stronghold of all things Arsenal.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

By Rob Kelly
Olivier Giroud admits that scoring goals is "an obsession" for him and is confident they will soon flow on a regular basis.
The France international has scored three times for Arsenal since signing from Montpellier in the summer, including a vital header against Reading last week.
The 26-year-old was encouraged by his performance at the Madejski Stadium and believes Gunners supporters will soon see the very best of him.
"Scoring goals is an obsession for me, and probably for all strikers," Giroud told Arsenal Player.
"I must admit, I've had a little bit of a difficult start but the boss and the coaches trust in me and just say, 'Don't worry, the goals will come soon. Continue to work hard in training - you have the right qualities'.
"I'm keeping confident and continuing to work hard. I scored many goals early on in my career, and when you score it obviously makes you feel better.
"But I'm happy at the moment, and I feel I did well when I came on against Reading in the League Cup. So everything is OK, I just need to keep working hard."
Giroud is enjoying the challenge of adapting to life in the Premier League and says it has lived up to expectations so far.
"You have to be more physical and athletic in every single match," he said. "There are no easy matches in England.
"You have to be ready to make contact with very hard defenders each time you go on to the pitch. I was ready for this challenge and I must say that I'm not surprised at what I am now experiencing."

NIJ researchers examined the impact of the rate of crime prior to prison and how prison affected crime post release. The method
was applied to the same datasets used by the Bureau of Justice Statistics for its special report, Recidivism of Prisoners Released in 1994. NIJ's researchers found that—
These findings suggest that an analysis of criminal history prior to incarceration may help corrections practitioners identify
who is and is not likely to be deterred from post-release reoffending. [1]
Learn about federal prison programs designed to reduce recidivism, from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Effects of security level assignment in prison. Researchers have established a relationship between the security level inmates are assigned during incarceration and the
recidivism rate after they are released from prison.
The theory is that differential placement may affect post-release crime rates (recidivism) but not necessarily as intended.
Higher security prisons are more punitive and, therefore, should decrease recidivism among inmates who have equivalent propensities
to commit crime. Research shows, however, that being exposed to inmates who have higher propensities to crime may increase
criminal behavior or reinforce antisocial attitudes. [2]

At one point in his speech, President Barack Obama noted that Congress has voted to provide medical insurance for children, a bill most Republicans opposed. Republican congressmen sat quietly until finally they realized they were not applauding providing health care to children and slowly they rose to applaud. The incident was symbolic of what will destroy the Republican party. Governor Bobby Jindal followed the Obama speech with another recital that all problems could be solved by cutting taxes because it would allow people to make their own decisions about the future. Obama tried desperately to explain that if you don't have a job, you don't have an income and therefore you will not get a tax cut. Obama pointed a direction that at times of crisis the government must act boldly, but to Republicans the only bold thing it could do is to cut taxes. Ironically, Jindal cited working our way through the Great Depression. I assume Mr. Jindal does not understand that America got out of the Depression by bold government action.
President Obama made clear there are no quick and easy solutions. He emphasized that health care, education and a collapsed credit system must be dealt with boldly. Republican congressional reaction was silence and anger. Tax cuts will not compel banks to extend credit, tax cuts will not get people working, tax cuts will not solve the credit crisis. Bobby Jindal in his response claimed the people of New Orleans had solved their problems without the need of federal help. The Federal government spent $175 billion to help rebuild New Orleans, one can only assume Governor Jindal is either ignorant of that sum or doesn't consider $175 billion to be of much help. But, he reflects the problem of the Republican party, they have yet to offer a single concrete solution except for the enduring "tax cut" solution.
It was encouraging to hear the president offer creation of a modern version of the GI Bill of Rights which apparently even Republicans endorse. We need to deal with high tuition rates that make college difficult for the middle class as well as poor people. The reality is there is no simple solution, but the Obama speech is an excellent beginning.

Well, here it is, the progress page for my work on Zannah's (my girlfriend) armory. Separate from the armor itself, this will track the work I've done on the design of her replica and original weapons.
The first project is the lightsaber of her design. So far, I'll be working off of this sketch (click for larger version):
I'm honestly not sure of what base material I want to use. I have a little experience doing these things with PVC pipe, but I'm not sure that such would be the best choice due to the concave nature of the hilt. Because I'm looking to get into Sintra molding and vacuum forming anyway, I'm wondering if that might be a better way to go about the shell of this design.
I am perfectly fine with doing all of my own research, and will be doing just that, but I would definitely appreciate any advice and recommendations that you may offer.
That being said, has anyone had much luck with vacuum forming or Sintra molding the shell of a lightsaber hilt, or is some other technique superior?
Thanks! Enjoy!

Good day, I am a member of several other Star Wars based web-sites, and was referred to this site by a friend on one of them. My screen name is the same on all forums, and is important to me. It was my radio call sign in Iraq during my deployment there. My fellow Airmen gave me the name at the begging of the Deployment and it was surprisingly apt (so I feel at least).
As for why I'm here, I'm interested in the TDH as a resource for all my Current and future SW Mando costumes.
So greetings once again, and Hello!

Greek-Seasoned Grilled Pork Chops with Lemon and Oregano
(Makes 4 pork chops, recipe adapted slightly from marinade for Kalyn's Souvlaki.)
4 boneless pork sirloin chops (my pork weighed 1 1/2 pounds before trimming)
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. fresh lemon zest (or use 1/2 tsp. dried lemon peel)
2 tsp. dried Greek oregano (You can also use 2 T minced fresh Greek oregano, but I often use dried herbs in a marinade like this.)
2 tsp. minced fresh garlic (or use 1 tsp. dried granulated garlic)
fresh ground black pepper to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp.)
To cook, remove pork chops from refrigerator and let come to room temperature while you pre-heat gas or charcoal grill or George Foreman grill, or stove-top grill pan. (Preheat outdoor grills about 10 minutes. George Foreman grill or stove-top grill pan only needs to be preheated 4-5 minutes.)
For criss-cross grill marks, place pork chops on a diagonal to the grill grids, rotating 45 degrees when the first set of grill marks start to show. (I usually rotate after about 3 minutes on an outdoor grill, and maybe a little sooner on the George Foreman grill or stove-top grill pan. Whatever cooking method you're using, the best way to tell when to rotate things on the grill is to lift a corner of the food and check the grill marks.)
Pork chops will take about 10-12 minutes to get done on an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan, and about 5-6 minutes on a George Foreman grill which cooks both sides at once. Pork chops are done when they feel firm (but not hard) to the touch and look slightly browned. Serve hot.

Obama is liberal?
If the Republicans offer up somebody who is a flip flopper with a liberal past (like Romney) I think they have a real chance of winning because they will pull in the independents.
Unfortunately No. He has not done what he campaigned to do. This will be Obama's Achilles heel in the next election.
Sterling, tell me you're kidding. Would you care to offer any proof on this? And nothing from Fox News or anybody rabidly biased.

One HELL of a lucky guy!
'It's The Best Day Of My Life, Having Him Home'
Story Updated: Aug 31, 2006 at 1:02 AM PST
By Theron Zahn
SEA-TAC AIRPORT - 20-year-old Marine Lance Corporal Ryan Harnish came as close to death as you can get. That is why the reunion with his family and friends at Sea-Tac Airport Friday night was so emotional.
Harnish was one of the first Marines into Baghdad. While under enemy fire, he was hit in the head by a rocket propelled grenade.
"It hit me square on," said Harnish.
The grenade didn't explode, but left a hole in his kevlar helmet.
Harnish was knocked out for several minutes, but amazingly as soon as he came to, he grabbed his rifle and continued firing.
"It made me mad, I got mad." said Harnish.
He then fought for several more hours before he could get the medical attention he needed.
"He actually, he called me while he was on the stretcher," said girlfriend Jessica Drake. "I don't know how he ended up calling me, but I couldn't hear him. All I could hear was a bunch of yelling in the background,"
"I have a headache mostly, I've lost some hearing in my left ear," said Harnish.
The good news is he should recover.
To Harnish's family from Federal Way, he is a hero, and they are so thankful for another touch and hug, knowing they came very close to never enjoying these simple things again.
"There is a lot things he talked about that a lot of moms don't want to hear until their sons get back," said his mother Debbie Adams.
"It's the best day of my life, having him home," said stepfather Rob Adams. "Very proud of him, extremely proud."
Another American hero comes home. HOOO!!! RAAAH!!!
He sure was lucky!
I hope the guy that shot it will show his freinds. "Hey guys, it wont hurt you, watch this!"
That's a true Marine. Get's hit and keeps on fighting.

Our protagonist survives the ordeal by beast and with the help of his blind servant girl is freed with the real murderer having been identified. As Mount Vesuvius erupts and ash is flung into the air, the blind servant girl has a distinct advantage in terms of mobility and leads the protagonist through the streets of Pompeii to find the girl of his dreams. The episode ends with the three of them pledging to stay together and survive, or die together.
