text: Retrospective moves on to the 1994 Olympics The key facts in relation to these Olympics are:- Alexei Urmanov wins the Olympic title. In doing so, he produced the performance of his life, as he was not the favourite going into the Olympics, having only recently finished 3rd at the European Championships (won by Viktor Petrenko). The favourites were world champion, Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko (who had just defeated Browning at Nationals), and Viktor Petrenko (the defending Olympic champion who had not only just won Europeans, but also Skate America and the Nations Cup). Browning had a disastrous SP, falling on a 3F and singling out on his 2A. This left him in just 12th place after the SP. However, a 3rd placed finish in the LP, moved him up to the 5th overall. Petrenko also had a very poor SP. In his combination, he stepped out of the 3A and doubled out on his 3T. He also had a double footed landing on an under-rotated 3Z. This left him 9th after the SP, but a 4th placed finish in the FS moved him up to 4th overall. A superb SP by Urmanov (3A+2T, 3Z, 2A) to Rigoletto by Verdi, won him that part of the competition. Hence, he entered the LP in 1st, with Stojko 2nd, and Candeloro 3rd. Although Urmanov stepped out on the landing of a 3F in his FS (and had no quad), he did enough to win the FS segment, and therefore, the Olympic title. Stojko finished 2nd in the LP to take the silver medal, and Candeloro hung on for the Bronze with a 5th placed finish in the FS. Urmanov ultimately became only the second men's skater after Robin Cousins to win the Olympic title without ever becoming world champion (Ilia Kulik would later become the third). He was also the first of 4 consecutive Russian men's Olympic champions. Urmanov produced no quad in either of his programs and it was expected that he would be the last men's skater to win the Olympic title without a quad, when Ilia Kulik (1998), Alexei Yagudin (2002), and Evgeni Plushenko (2006), all produced quads to win their Olympic titles. Nevertheless, in 2010, Evan Lysacek won the Olympic title without a quad. Zhang Min lands the first ever clean quad (a 4T) at the Olympics. He would go on to finish 20th overall. On the 6th January 1994, Nancy Kerrigan was attacked by Shane Stant with an ASP baton which struck Kerrigan on the thigh just above her right knee. It was later discovered that Tonya Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, and her bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt, had hired Stant to carry out the attack with a view to preventing Kerrigan from competing at both the forthcoming National Championships, and the Olympics. The incident became known as, "the whack heard round the world." Whilst Kerrigan's right leg/knee was fortunately not broken, fractured, or damaged, apart from bruising, the severe bruising she sustained prevented her from competing at Nationals, which Harding won. Nevertheless, as Kerrigan was able to quickly recover from the attack physically, she was selected for the Olympic team ahead of Michelle Kwan who had finished 2nd at Nationals. As the attack on Kerrigan and its aftermath was partially caught on camera, and on account of Harding's alleged involvement, the incident generated a media frenzy - Tonya/Nancy saga: parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Whilst Harding competed in the Olympics, finishing 8th, she ultimately pleaded guilty "to hindering the investigation of the...attack." She received 3 years probation, had to do 500 hours community service, and had to pay $160,000 in fines and other monies. It was a part of the plea bargain, that she had to withdraw from the 1994 World Championships and resign from the USFSA. Ultimately, she was also stripped of her 1994 U.S. National title and she received a life ban from participating in USFSA-run events as either a coach or a skater. The USFSA concluded, after conducting its own investigation, that Harding had shown: "a clear disregard for fairness, good sportsmanship and ethical behavior," and William Hybl who had chaired the panel stated: "By a preponderance of the evidence, the panel did conclude that she had prior knowledge and was involved prior to the incident." The Olympic ladies competition itself would end up being one of the closest in Olympic figure skating history. The favourites going into the event were Kerrigan and world champion, Oksana Baiul. Kerrigan led after a confident and poised SP, with Baiul a close 2nd (Bonaly 3rd). However, during a practice session, Baiul and Szewczenko collided with one another whilst they were both preparing to do 3Z's. As a result of the collision, Baiul sustained a cut to her right shin which required 3 stitches, and painful back and shoulder injuries which required 2 Olympic-approved pain-killing injections, without which she would not have been able to compete in the FS. In the LP, whilst Baiul and Kerrigan both performed brilliantly, it was Baiul who had the edge with the greater artistry, charisma, and verve. Whilst her back and shoulder injuries, and the pain-killing injections, hindered her in terms of some of her jumps, she had the x-factor which connected with the audience, and ultimately that enabled her to win both the FS and the Olympic title. Kerrigan won the Silver, and a 3rd placed finish in the LP moved Chen Lu up to 3rd overall. A relaxation in the rules allowed some skaters who had turned professional to compete at the 1994 Olympics. This enabled 1988 Olympic champions, Katarina Witt and Brian Boitano to participate. Boitano would finish 6th, whilst Katarina Witt finished 7th. As the sport had moved on technically, Katarina Witt stated that she went into the competition without any realistic hopes of winning, but simply to sample the Olympic experience one last time. Whilst her FS was, from a technical standpoint, well behind those who finished ahead of her, artistically it was one of the highlights of the competition. She skated to "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", in a moving tribute to the then war-torn city of Sarajevo, the host city of the 1984 Olympics where she had won her first Olympic title. The pairs competition came down to a battle between the returning 2 previous Olympic champions, Gordeeva & Grinkov and Mishkutenok & Dmitriev. Gordeeva & Grinkov were the 1988 Olympic champions and 4 time world champions. They had retired after winning the 1990 world title. Mishkutenok & Dmitriev were the 1992 Olympic champions and 2 time world champions. They had retired after winning the 1992 world title. Both pairs decided to return for the 1993/94 season in order to compete at the 1994 Olympics. Ultimately, Gordeeva & Grinkov won both the SP and the LP to take the Olympic title, with Mishkutenok & Dmitriev finishing 2nd overall. Nevertheless, Mishkutenok & Dmitriev performed their Rachmaninov LP brilliantly, and many believe that they were under-marked. Hence, whilst Gordeeva & Grinkov produced the better performance overall, and deserved their win, the scores should have been closer than they were. Of the previous Olympic champions who had returned to competition after a period out after having turned professional, Gordeeva & Grinkov were the only ones to regain the Olympic title. 1984 Olympic Ice Dance champions, Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean, also returned to compete at these Olympics. However, whilst Witt and Boitano were returning after a 6 year gap, Torvill & Dean were returning after an astonishing 10 year gap, and they were by this time, 36 and 35 years old respectively. Most believed that they stood no chance of winning a medal. However, they were to make an incredible comeback to international competition by winning the 1994 European Championships, beating world champions, Maya Usova & Alexander Zhulin, and world silver medallists, Oksana Grishuk & Evgeni Platov, in the process. Nevertheless, it was Grishuk & Platov who would go on to win the Olympic title, with Usova & Zhulin taking the silver. Torvill & Dean would finish a very creditable 3rd. Grishuk & Platov would go on to dominate ice dancing over the next 4 years, winning 20 consecutive competitions between 1994 and 1998 in the process, including a 2nd Olympic title. In fact, their defeat to Torvill & Dean at the 1994 European Championships, would prove to be the final defeat of their career.

text: Hello DHC, I thought for my first post I'd ask for the consensus on farmers/property owners west of Portland as far as to the north coast. Not asking for any details, just curious if many are willing to allow you to hunt on their property. Just finished college down south, (won't be specific due to a small on-going rivalry), and majority of land owners didn't take kindly to college kids hunting on their land, no matter how well dressed and clean shaven I was when I knocked on their door. Originally grew up in the Mid-West, spent some time in Washington, but I'm new to Oregon and just wanted to see what I was getting into before I started knocking on doors. Season's almost here!

Hey all, just wondering if anyone could give me some info on duck and goose hunting near Hastings. I am from Colorado, and we have relatives that own property about 15 miles SE of Hastings, near Fairfield. The property is 480 acres of farm fields, no water on them. I am considering heading there next fall for a waterfowl hunting trip, would this be a good area to go and should I expect to see birds? From what I see on the migration maps, the central flyway goes right through here.
My one concern is the lack of lakes or reservoirs near here, aside from one river nearby I don't see many areas that would hold waterfowl overnight. Also, that river is 3-4 miles away from the property, is that too far to expect birds to come in? I know in CO you are better off being closer to rivers.
Please let me know if you think I could get onto birds in this area, I know nothing about NE waterfowl hunting so I don't want to waste my time going there blind.

orionpax Review
The ultimate case for the ultimate super-hero franchise: The Avengers! This is the start of an epic (and no doubt lucrative) silver screen journey by Marvel Studios, sure to span a few decades. I was already a fan of Iron Man and the Avengers as a child in the 1980s. I was extremely excited when Iron Man finally made it to the big screen, and even more so when the 'after-credit teasers' hinted at all these heroes coming together for an unprecedented team-up! I must say that Kevin Feige (one of the masterminds behind Marvel Studios) is a genius. Now on to the box set itself. The actual case is of a decent design. A bit more cartoony and gaudy compared to the original design used in the movie. The original case being designed by that greedy luggage company that should remain nameless. Needless to say, I have never bought anything from that company, and now will actively avoid them. There is a little button on top of the case that makes the SHIELD logo light up when pressed. The interior lights up as depicted in the picture when you open up the case, then automatically shuts off when closed. The LED lights are powerful and give off an eerie glow. Well done in the effects department. The Tesseract is cool but a little cheap-looking. I would have preferred something a little more translucent to mimic the object in the movies. This one is opaque-white. It has two levels of flashing when you tap it against your palm. Note: you need to tap quite hard! I thought it was broken initially because I was tapping too gently and nothing was happening. The fake circuitry and buttons in the case also looked a little cheap, but it's adequate for the money. The reproduced 'classified files' on each of the characters is where I am impressed. They contain near-perfect replicas of newspaper clippings, ID badges, photographs, research documents, drivers licenses, schematics of the various heroes in all 6 movies. They are a perfect compliment to the movies! I especially enjoyed the application forms, rejection letters, sketches and photos of Steve Rogers from the Captain America movie. There is even a 'top secret' special sealed package for the latest SHIELD recruit (that would be you) to open up and decipher. If and when you figure it out, you will have the privilege to uncover additional classified data! Not too difficult to figure out, so I won't give it away. I thought this was a neat touch. And they didn't include instructions to spoon-feed it either. It's a genuine find-the-clue exercise. For those who complain about the quality of the materials used for the actual case: this is where the money was spent. And it was worth it. Many more hours of enjoyment beyond the movies. My only gripe is that the blu-rays are housed in cardboard sleeves. The artwork and designs on the sleeves are actually well-done, but I would rather the discs be protected and secured in proper plastic cases. It feels kind of unfinished that so much effort was put into designing and producing all the various pieces for the set, only to have the discs in cardboard. Overall I would still have to give it a 5 star rating due to the impressive extras, but if the discs had proper cases and the Tesseract were better-designed, it would actually be PERFECT!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Nice overview of the product.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate enough. Could use a bit more detail as to the extras included in the set.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Overall quality is high. The only complaint being the cardboard sleeves used to house the blu-ray discs. They could use actual plastic cases.

Ernst & Young's Forecast Points to Slowdown in Emerging Markets
July 17, 2012
Economic expansion in the 25 leading rapid-growth markets (RGMs) has started to slow sharply since the beginning of this year but this will only be a temporary blip according to Ernst & Young's quarterly Rapid-Growth Markets Forecast (RGMF).
RGMs, particularly in Asia, have the necessary tools available to ease both fiscal and monetary policy allowing growth to resume towards the end of the year.
Even with a slowdown in growth, RGMs are likely to weather the Eurozone crisis and will remain the engines of global growth. GDP is forecast to expand by 4.9 percent this year in stark contrast to the 0.6 percent contraction, at best, that is expected in the Eurozone. Output in the RGMs is expected to continue to pick up by 6 percent in 2013 and 6.5 percent in 2014.
However, there is a mixed picture emerging across the world. Asia and Africa continue to remain resilient but Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America are hindered by the slow growth in their key export markets of the Eurozone and United States respectively. If the Eurozone were to fall further into recession, RGMF predicts that the Czech Republic and Poland would be pushed into recession, with Hong Kong and Malaysia also hit hard due to their dependence on global trade.
Carl Astorri, Senior Economic Adviser to Ernst & Young's Rapid Growth Markets Forecast.
"The RGMs are well placed to weather the major risks facing the global economy at the present time, given that they have the space to relax fiscal and monetary policy," said Carl Astorri, Senior Economic Adviser to Ernst & Young's Rapid Growth Markets Forecast. "This has already happened in some RGMs including in all of the BRICs. It is likely that there will be further easing of monetary policy in the months ahead, particularly if the global economy deteriorates further."
The report mirrors other forecasts published in SCMR this year.
According to London-based Transport Intelligence (Ti), despite the economic slowdown and political upheaval, output in powerhouse economies such as Brazil, China and India remains high. Furthermore, the so-called "Arab Spring" countries are now viewed as more attractive places to do business.

The Daily Caller Is Sexist, Bachmann Smear Piece Notwithstanding
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
Late Monday night, Tucker Carlson's pseudo-journalism rag, the Daily Caller, published a piece on Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann that strongly alleged she popped pills whenever she came under any kind of stress. From the sensationalist headline, "Stress-related condition 'incapacitates' Bachmann; heavy pill use alleged," to a last paragraph that highlighted her "debilitating headache episodes," the article tried very hard to make readers understand that because of this "incapacitating" condition, she is unfit to be president. It wasn't until the eighth paragraph that the Daily Caller informed readers that these "stress-induced medical episodes" are in fact "severe headaches" or migraines.
The article has been heavily criticized as "ignorant," as well as sexist. Others have defended the piece, with Slate's Jessica Grose arguing the migraines are "relevant, gender-neutral information." However, the piece reads like an expose of a "catastrophic drama queen," as Wired's Steve Silberman put it, whose migraines are sometimes triggered by "anything going badly" requiring her to be rushed to the nearest emergency room. Additionally, according to the piece, Bachmann is a habitual pill-popper whose condition is so "incapacitating" that she couldn't manage it without the help of her husband.
This is certainly not the image of a woman who has balanced career and family life.
But according to one of the article's unnamed sources, an ex-Bachmann adviser:
"She has terrible migraine headaches. And they put her out of commission for a day or more at a time. They come out of nowhere, and they're unpredictable. ... They level her. They put her down. It's actually sad. It's very painful."
A "former aide," also unnamed, later makes the point: "As president, when she's in crisis management mode, is she going to have the physical ability to withstand the most difficult challenges facing America?"
The article, by Jonathan Strong, is peppered with such anecdotes from the ex-adviser and former aide. Both are unnamed, because, according to the Daily Caller, "they were providing information only a select group of people could know, at great professional risk." The article added: "A third source confirmed that Bachmann frequently suffers from debilitating headache episodes."
But the anonymous sourcing is hardly the only problem with this piece. Strong also makes the case that Bachmann ingests pills at every opportunity and couldn't manage without help from her husband:
"When she gets 'em, frankly, she can't function at all. It's not like a little thing with a couple Advils. It's bad," the adviser says. "The migraines are so bad and so intense, she carries and takes all sorts of pills. Prevention pills. Pills during the migraine. Pills after the migraine, to keep them under control. She has to take these pills wherever she goes."
To staff, Bachmann has implausibly blamed the headaches on uncomfortable high-heel shoes, but those who have worked closely with her cite stress, a busy schedule and anything going badly for Bachmann as causes.
Of particular concern to some around her is the significant amount of medication Bachmann takes to address her condition.
The former aide says Bachmann's congressional staff is "constantly" in contact with her doctors to tweak the types and amounts of medicine she is taking. Marcus Bachmann helps her manage the episodes.
In a post on his Twitter feed linking to the article, Strong further characterized her migraines as "unfortunate and potentially disqualifying."
Again, this whole thing, taken literally -- from the "implausibly" to the "anything going badly," and the language about her husband -- is dripping with sexism. Migraines are a serious condition that, according to the World Health Organization, are included in its top 20 incapacitating disorders during an attack. It can be so severe that it's difficult for sufferers to think clearly and be able to move. As Dr. Jan Brandes of Vanderbilt University told ABC News, "Many people want to be in a still, dark place with very little sound. ... People are not really functional during this kind of attack."
I know. I, too, suffer from migraines. And I am a woman. As New York Magazine noted: "Migraines happen to be overwhelmingly a woman's problem, and (though Bachmann's are supposedly stress-triggered), they are often linked to both menstruation and menopause -- unavoidable biological side effects of being a woman." But there are ways to report on a public figure's medical condition, whether it be gender-biased, without resorting to sexist imagery or using sexist language.
For example, the Daily Caller has no input from medical professionals and it doesn't delve into what kind of medication is usually prescribed in these situations. For people who aren't familiar with migraine headaches, there is no explanation of what the condition is or how it affects sufferers. Instead, we're inundated with views from ex-staffers who worry Bachmann is unfit for the presidency. But many presidents suffered from worse chronic conditions and they still were able to govern, which the article doesn't mention.
But this is the Daily Caller. In a little over a year, it has acquired a particular history of biased views against women. Let's remember that it debuted with two strongly anti-women pieces, one talking about "legalized rape" and another likening Rachel Maddow to a man. A month later, it again referred to Maddow as a man. In September 2010, when a female reporter was harassed by an NFL team, the Daily Caller's headline of its write-up read: "Baby got back: Meet Ines Sainz [SLIDESHOW]." One of the captions in the slideshow stated: "The skin tight jeans -- er, we mean, the sensible outfit that sparked the current controversy." It later was revealed that one of the Daily Caller writers had once penned a column arguing, as ABC News put it, "that some women who survive date rape invited it."
There's lots more if you care to look, including a piece about loosening domestic violence laws and another that railed against restraining orders because they "hurt women." The author advocated instead that women should avoid "late-night strolls in public areas." Oh, did I mention the time Tucker's website called Rosie O'Donnell half a man? No? Well, it did. And the time it called women "skanks" and ran a slideshow of lingerie-clad women? It did that, too.
So let's just stop pretending that the Bachmann piece wasn't a veiled sexist attack by the Daily Caller. The website has repeatedly proved how it views women, and this is yet another example.

[DERBY DAY] Sunday's Barcelona-Real Madrid match was the first El Clasico for Real stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, but Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, another player making his El Clasico debut, stole the show, coming off the bench to score on a volley and give Barcelona a 1-0 win that propelled the Catalan club back into first place in La Liga.
Ibrahimovic goal:
Ibrahimovic's eighth league goal -- second behind only Valencia star David Villa's 10 -- came in the 56th minute, only
minutes after he replaced Thierry Henry.
Brazilian Dani Alves served a ball across the face of the Real
goal, and the Swede met the ball and slotted a left-footed volley past Iker Casillas.
"It's a very happy moment because it was my first 'Clasico',"
Ibrahimovic said. "It was a fantastic atmosphere, I'm really happy."
Ibrahimovic was playing his first game in three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury.
"When you come
into a game from the bench it's not easy because the first sprint that you do, you are very tired because your pulse is like 200," the Swede said. "But Dani gave me a good cross, I just tried to hit
the ball and it went in."
The game was billed as the first Clasico between Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who like Ibrahimovic
were coming off injuries.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi started for Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, and had excellent games. It was Ronald's first start for Real since the end of
September. Messi was coming off a thigh injury that kept him out of Barca's midweek Champions League game against Inter Milan.
Messi dictated the pace early, but Ronaldo had the best
chance of the first half, side-footing a shot was saved brilliantly by Barca goalie Victor Valdes.
"We at least deserved a draw because, if I am
not mistaken, we had a lot of shots on their goal in the first half," said Real coach Manuel Pellegrini. "We had two clear chances with Cristiano and Marcelo as well as some good counterattacks. Barca never dominated the game and I don't go along with the idea that Ibrahimovic changed the game. They didn't
dominate with or without him. He scored the goal which was important but I don't think he changed the game."
Both teams finished with 10 men after midfielders Sergi Busquets and Lass Diarra were sent off in separate incidents following Ibrahimovic's goal.
Nov. 29 in Barcelona

|Topic Review (Newest First)
A Few Outstanding Books
Over the last year, I've read several books about Military Working Dogs (MWD's) and I would recommend these to anyone, but especially GSD owners and owners of similar breeds. The titles I list are only the first part of the title. If the title format is xxxxxxx:yyyyy, I only post the xxxx part.
Sargent Rex, by Mike Dowling.
This is about a young Marine dog handler in Iraq 2004 and his GSD, Sgt Rex. What Sgt Rex is able to do and the lives that he saved can't be calculated, but it's fair to say that the total would be a lot. It gets 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
Trident K9 Warriors by Mike Ritland.
Ritland is a former Seal dog handler and he now trains dogs for the military and some civilian applications. Most of the book has to do with how he selects and train dogs, which may seem a little on the boring side, but it's quite interesting. For example, he talks about taking the dogs fro a 500 yard swim off the beach in San Diego and what the dogs do when they can no longer see land. There are some mission stories that are interesting as well. I read this one twice. Note that Ritland has a second book called Navy Seal Dogs, but I believe it's more for young readers.
None Came Home by Mike O'Donnell.
This is about GSD handlers in Vietnam. It is a sad story, since only a handful of dogs were returned as the government considered them to be equipment. However, the story is fantastic. In fact, I'm surprise that Hollywood has not made this into a movie. I will caution you, it was published cheaply and there are a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes. However, the point of the book was to raise funds for the War Dog Memorial in DC, so it's understandable why it was not better proofed. I have this with a friend at the moment, but I plan to read it again.
Always Faithful by William Putney.
This book is about war dogs in the Pacific. At the time most of them were Dobermans. Putney was a line Officer in the Marines and because he was also a Veterinarian, they put him in charge of a War dog platoon (or company - I don't remember the size). It starts out in VA and NC with training and eventually they get over to Guam and see action. Great story.
If you like to read about dogs, none of these will disappoint you.

Title Insurance:
Preliminary Views and Issues for Further Study
GAO-06-568: Published: Apr 24, 2006. Publicly Released: Apr 25, 2006.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-5837

Title insurance is a required element of almost all real estate purchases and is not an insignificant cost for consumers. However, consumers generally do not have the knowledge needed to "shop around" for title insurance and usually rely on professionals involved in real estate--such as lenders, real estate agents, and attorneys--for advice in selecting a title insurer. Recent state and federal investigations into title insurance sales have identified practices that may have benefited these professionals and title insurance providers at the expense of consumers. At your request, GAO currently has work under way studying the title insurance industry, including pricing, competition, the size of the market, the roles of the various participants in the market, and how they are regulated. You asked GAO to identify and report on preliminary issues for further study. In so doing, this report focuses on: (1) the reasonableness of cost structures and agent practices common to the title insurance market that are not typical of other insurance markets; (2) the implications of activities identified in recent state and federal investigations that may have benefited real estate professionals rather than consumers; and (3) the potential need for regulatory changes that would affect the way that title insurance is sold.
Some cost structures and agent practices that are common to the title insurance market are not typical of other lines of insurance and merit further study. First, the extent to which premium rates reflect underlying costs is not always clear. For example, most states do not consider title search and examination costs--insurers' largest expense--to be part of the premium, and do not review them. Second, while title agents play a key role in the underwriting process, the extent to which state insurance regulators review them is not clear. Few states regularly collect information on agents, and three states do not license them. Third, the extent to which a competitive environment exists within the title insurance market that benefits consumers is also not clear. Consumers generally lack the knowledge necessary to "shop around" for a title insurer and therefore often rely on the advice of real estate and mortgage professionals. As a result, title agents normally market their business to these professionals, creating a form of competition from which the benefit to consumers is not always clear. Fourth, real estate brokers and lenders are increasingly becoming full or part owners of title agencies, which may benefit consumers by allowing one-stop shopping, but may also create conflicts of interest. Finally, multiple regulators oversee the different entities involved in the title insurance industry, but the extent of involvement and coordination among these entities is not clear. Recent state and federal investigations have identified potentially illegal activities--mainly involving alleged kickbacks--that also merit further study. The investigations alleged instances of real estate agents, mortgage brokers, and lenders receiving referral fees or other inducements in return for steering business to title insurers or agents, activities that may have violated federal or state anti-kickback laws. Participants allegedly used several methods to convey the inducements, including captive reinsurance agreements, fraudulent business arrangements, and discounted business services. For example, investigators identified several "shell" title agencies created by a title agent and a real estate or mortgage broker that had no physical location or employees and did not perform any title business, allegedly serving only to obscure referral payments. Insurers and industry associations with whom we spoke said that they had begun to address such alleged activities but also said that current regulations needed clarification. In the past several years, regulators, industry groups, and others have suggested changes to the way title insurance is sold, and further study of these suggestions could be beneficial. For example, the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced in June 2005 that it was considering revisions to the regulations implementing the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. In addition, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners is considering changes to model laws for title insurers and title agents. Finally, at least one consumer advocate has suggested that requiring lenders to pay for the title policies from which they benefit might increase competition and ultimately lower consumers' costs.

MapQuest Ecosystem Expands Through Launch of Travel Blogs
Feb 28, 2013
MapQuest has always been great at getting people from point A to B. But what we embraced through the launch of MapQuest Discover last fall is the idea that it's not only about the destination, but that the journey counts just as much.
With that in mind, we're excited to announce today the launch of MapQuest Travel Blogs, and a new iPhone app that allows travelers to easily capture the memories and routes taken on all of their trips. With just a few easy clicks, users can now collect all of their photos, reviews and stories to create a digital memory of their journey.
Features of the app include:
- On and off-line usage for travelers without cell service or those journeying out of the country beyond their mobile coverage; the mobile blog can be sync'd with the web once a user is back online
- Privacy settings to allow users to share their blogs on their own terms via social channels or through an individually curated distribution list
- Those that opt to have their content stay public will be featured in the MapQuest Discover content feed and may be featured across AOL's digital network
- Coming soon: the option to have your blog printed into a beautiful photo book
Travel Blogs is not just a tool to help users document their recent day trip up the coast or two week cross-country excursion. As part of our library of over 24,000 blogs from Everlater, now part of the MapQuest family, our goal is to help give people valuable and authentic stories that inspire them to set out on their own adventure.
Thinking of planning a trip? Check out some of our favorite blogs so far, Maui in One Week, Culinary Adventures Around the World, East Africa with Amsterdam En Route and Runways and Rails, for ideas and tips on where to set your next course. Happy Travels!

Zonker nails it
May 6, 2010 Comments off
One of the great things about someone else writing something you wish you had written — other than the fact that you don't have to write it yourself — is that now, thanks to the Internet, you can just link to an on-line written work and say, "Yeah, what he said."
On the issue of getting started with a distro as a contributor — and I hope you are all contributors at some level (and if you're not, here's your chance to make up lost ground) — Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier nails it in his latest blog item on the topic.
Go there now — it's worth the read. Thanks, Zonk!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well, I haven't posted because of work, but we brought our newest family member home this past week. "Zues" is 12 weeks old and is great. I hope WE live up to HIS expectations!!!! Ty for the replies and helpful information. Ty to "my boy diesel" also!
My suggestion, would be to keep your mind open and check out a number of breeders with dogs from varying lines. Don't get too hung up on one or the other.
Working lines are more energetic and have more intensity as a rule, but I think in general they also have better nerves. My WL dog is really energetic, but she has a fabulous off switch in the house and is not even 2 years old.
All puppies are cute, so I'd go and check out the breeder and parents before looking at any puppies. Take your time, don't be in a rush. It took me a really long time before I decided on a breeder. This is such a huge investment, it really doesn't pay to rush, just go look at some dogs and some breeders, watch them working and sleep on it for a while.
Maybe if people know your location, they can give you some names to start you off in your search.

It's not so much about the lines, more about the individual dogs.
I have always had working lines, tho one was more american lines. My working line dogs, do require more exercise, but had/have good off switches when they mature.
My american line was more of a couch potatoe. Again, all dogs are different.
As for protection,, well some can be naturally protective, some are not.
I'm going to move this thread to appropriate forum
We had an American that was off the walls hyper. We currently have a working line that is the most chilled and confident pup I have ever owned.
In my opinion the breeder is the key. They know what they are breeding and have the experience to place the right pup with the right people.
We met with our breeder, told her what we were looking for. Explained that we are getting older and while we are active we aren't hiking, jogging, and sky diving every weekend. Nor did we have any desire to go into protection sports. We wanted a solid temperament first and foremost. We told her that we have always owned females and prefered solid black but temperament was important above all other traits. We ended up with a black and tan male and couldn't be happier.
They are all different, there are so many dogs that break the molds out there. Ours included. The breeder is the key in my opinion. We have a working line dog that is a monster in size and has a very calm temperament and our breeder nailed it by placing him with us. Look for breeders, not dogs. Obviously you will like a certain color, sex etc. but temperament is worth it's weight in gold.
I really doubt there is ANY reason to worry a 'show dog' won't be good enough in the 'protection' area. Take just about any Shepherd, they will keep watch & let you know something is amiss. You don't need a dog that's itching to take a bite out of the UPS delivery guy. How many people want to advance on a barking German Shepherd?
This is a non issue with us. Our last Lab did enough to alert us. Here is a recent picture of 'Mya'. She is more from an 'American line', but she is doing just great.
|Have you had the chance to meet any others who have dogs from this breeder? I have both show/American and Czech WL, both make great pets in an active home. All 3 have good off switches.

|my boy diesel
just a note
bybs come in all shapes and sizes and all lines
not just american lines
as sables become more popular we are seeing more and more byb and poor quality breeders of that particular color
op, go with what you like
the rest will follow
gds are naturally protective and unless u r going to professionally train your dog in personal protection
merely having a large dog such as a gsd wandering about your yard is enough to deter most criminals
let alone that big gsd bark
|Ty for the replies. We are really considering a breeder of American shepherds and have visited his kennel. AWESOME dogs! The one thing that concerns me is that he shows his dogs and I get the feeling that's what he breeds for...great show dogs. I'm not saying that is bad but I'm thinking I'm paying $2k for a show dog and hoping he is a great family dog and protector. This gentleman is in no way a byb from what I can tell. Is it wrong to want a protector that is a member of the family? I hate to "give up" something in order to get something else(hope that makes sense)
Hi and welcome! I've own/owned both american and czech lines and do agree they are both very different. My czech line is very active but she is always eager to learn, confident, loves to play, has a really high prey drive, and great with the kids. At 6months she's already surpasses my expectations in training. My american line was more reactive, harder to train,she's a barker but if you come close she will most likely back off and pretty much always pushes her limits with me. She is a great dog but her temperament did not allow me to do protection training with her. She does make an awesome family pet that is very sweet to my kids. I know most of her personality came from her mom and I didn't think twice when I got her because she was too cute (bad idea buying just on looks). As for protection, I wouldn't trust my life with her. Nerves and temperament do play a very big role in this breed. Of course depending how you raise and train your dog will effect the outcome as well. You can find a great family pet from both sides. I personally would go for czech/ddr line and never touch the american line. I would recommend after researching and finding the right breeder for you is to meet both parents and have the breeder help you choose the right puppy that will fit you and your family. They know their puppies best and a good breeder wouldn't place a high drive pup in a family that will not be able to handle it . Good luck with your search!

Working lines do tend to have higher energy and drive.
They sometimes have a smaller frame as well.
American show lines may have less energy and drive, most likely because they have not been bred for their work ability (other than maybe herding) in so long. Of course this doesn't go for all.
It's usually the American pet lines that often get 100+ lbs.

A few weeks ago I was over in Reno and went the Sheels. For quite some time I'd been looking for a lightweight, grey, waterproof jacket to wear while sculling. Last year I got kind of tired of my back getting wet from the seepage around the boot. I found this coat there and it's exactly what the doctor ordered. I've used it a couple times now, and after I spend the day laying in the boat, I get out and am dry, dry, dry. Nice.
They retail for $189, but I got mine on sale for $119. I would highly recommend this jacket for sculling or hunting out of a layout boat.

Earwigs have a terrifying, albeit untrue, reputation of laying eggs in human ears, and therefore many homeowners feel that it is necessary to discover how to get rid of earwigs. While earwigs do not present a danger to human ears, they are known to damage certain flowers and crops.
Earwigs will move into certain clefts and crevices in homes (although not those of the ear canal), and homeowners may need to discover how to get rid of earwigs. Earwig populations should not be ignored, as a female earwig will lay between 20 and 80 eggs at one time. Contact a pest control company today to learn how to get rid of earwigs.

As a member of the Lesley community, you have a responsibility to uphold the law and report all suspicious activities. Several campus safety policies are described below, including: the use of alcohol and other drugs, visitors, hazing, and sexual assault.
As a member of the Lesley community and our extended security team you have a responsibility to report all suspicious activities to Public Safety immediately. All suspicious activities reported will be investigated by Public Safety.
Likewise, if you have been a witness to, or victim of a wrong doing, it is your responsibility to inform an official member of the Lesley community (i.e. Dean of Students, Director of Residence Life, Public Safety, etc.) immediately. Once notified of a crime, the community member must immediately inform Public Safety. It is Public Safety's responsibility to investigate the incident, obtain assistance from the appropriate outside agency(s), develop effective countermeasures and keep the Lesley community informed of any potential threats or dangers.
Below are several security related University policies. For more detailed standards, including associated repercussions, please consult the Lesley Student Handbook.
Lesley supports the observance of all Massachusetts state laws and regulations governing the sale, purchase and distribution of alcoholic beverages. The legal drinking age in Massachusetts is 21 and all members of the Lesley community must abide by this law.
Lesley does not condone the possession, use or sale of illegal drugs on its campus. Lesley will abide by Federal and State laws governing such activities.
Lesley prohibits hazing in any form by any individual or group operating on or in conjunction with this institution.
Lesley requires students, faculty, and staff to maintain a current identification card. Any lost or stolen ID cards must be reported to Public Safety immediately.
Visitors to Lesley are always welcome provided they conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. A Lesley community member who has a visitor is responsible for that individual's actions. Visitors should never be let into a dormitory building without the consent of the Lesley student being visited. If the student being visited is not presently on campus, the visitor must be turned away. If the visitor refuses to leave, you should immediately call Public Safety for assistance.
It is Lesley's intent to ensure the rights of all victims of a sexual offense (i.e. rape, assault...) and to encourage the reporting of all such acts to an official of the Lesley community or to a member of the local Police (911). Official members of the Lesley community include, Dean of Students, Director of Residence Life, Faculty, Human Resources, a Lesley counselor, Student Health Services at 617.349.8222 or the Public Safety Department at 617.349.8888.
The Lesley official, with the victim's consent, will notify local police and the Public Safety Department immediately. This action is important, as the preservation of any physical evidence is crucial. Once notified the local Police will assume control.
On October 28, 2000 the U.S. Congress
enacted a law (Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act), which requires each
State Sex Offender Registry Program to notify Institutions of Higher
Education when a Registered Sex Offender is employed, performs a trade,
or is a student of that Institution of Higher Education. This
notification can be direct or through the local Police Department. The
law took effect on October 28, 2002.
law further states that a list of Registered Offenders who carry a
trade at, is a student of or is employed by the University, may be
disclosed to any Lesley community member requesting such information.
The list of registered sex offenders living or working in
Cambridge/Boston may be viewed by contacting the Mass. Sex Offender Registry Board at 978.740.6400.

How would you honor Martin Luther...
without actually using Martin or Luther? My dad is big into the whole family tree thing, and he recently shared that it's a possibility that one of our ancestors was an aide to Martin Luther (which I find, quite frankly, amazing. I've grown up looking up to the reformers and martyrs of Christendom, and a tie to Martin Luther is just too cool, imo!). I like the idea of incorporating that into my list somehow, but I'm not terribly fond of Martin (which feels a bit drab and mid-1900s to me) or Luther (which is okay, and interesting, but I can't help but only think of Lex Luthor and Luther Vandross, which aren't really what I'm going for). Any ideas? I figure Caleb 95 Theses "Roberts" wouldn't be the best combo...Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Lux/Luz (though I prefer these ones for girl)
EDIT: Maybe Calvin, after John Calvin and Calvinism? He was another reformer whom I believe based his work off of Martin Luther.

I like Martin Luther, too.
Here's what I've got. Some of them are a bit of a stretch, I'll admit.
I like the suggestions of Augustine or Paul as those were Luther's main influences.
Wittenburg- as that was where Luther first posted the 95 thesis.
Roland or Bainton as he is the foremost Lutheran scholar.
Saxon or Saxony - the area of Germany where Luther did most of his ministry
Beaufort- The Beautiful Fort- a nod to "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" Luther's most famous hymn. Other names that mean fort/fortress or something similar- Caerwyn, Carlyle, Cary, Lancaster, Shea, Thurl
Luther was traveling with a man named Justus Jonas when he died. I like Jonas better than Justus but I think both are usable.
Luther's last words were- "We are beggars. It is true." Names that mean true- Emmett, Verity, or Alethia (for a girl). The name Deacon comes from a greek word which means servant. So, not quite the same as beggar but it is a nice name IMO.
Amadeus/Amedeo/Amadeo mean Lover of God, which could be a general association with your lineage.
Do you know what your ancestor was named?

Karen Rowe is a Research Associate at MV where she studies evolutionary ecology and behaviour in birds and mammals.
Record levels of rainfall in the Northern Territory have brought forth one of Australia's rare and unique native mammals, the Long-haired, or Plague Rat (Rattus villosissimus). These herbivorous rats feed largely on stems and leaves and, with consistently high rainfall, large areas of the desert landscape have become lush with food. Coupled with an unusually high reproductive rate, where a single female can produce more than 200 young in one year, these rats are capable of large-scale population explosions leading to rapid dispersal over huge distances. They have even been documented moving as much as 3 km in a single night.
In the past, these rodents have spread across the arid regions of Australia, including eastern Western Australia, the Northern Territory, eastern Queensland and parts of South Australia. Historic plagues have been documented as far back as 1847, with others occurring in 1916-18, 1930-32, 1940-42, 1948, 1950-52, 1956, and 1966-69.
Once the plague recedes, they vanish almost as quickly as they arrived and during non-plague years, they become rare and hard to find, persisting in only a few locations.
Taking advantage of this unique opportunity to document the latest plague, I joined MV mammal curator, Kevin Rowe, and collections manager, Wayne Longmore, to try to find these rats in the Northern Territory, along the Finke River.

We found them in abundance – nearly all of our live traps contained a long-haired rat, and one had two!

We even found part of the skeleton of one in a bird pellet – the undigested material regurgitated by a bird, particularly in birds of prey.

Long-haired rats build burrows in the sand, consisting of meters of tunnels with multiple entrances and exits. They use these burrows extensively, spending nearly 80% of their time underground.

At the Finke River site, the sandy soil made it easy to see footprints into and out of these burrows.

Kevin and Wayne are still on the hunt for the plague rat, hoping to find more populations in the Barkly Tablelands and central NT. By studying these rats from throughout the state and recording natural history data such as behaviour and habitat, as well as traits of the rats themselves, including age and reproductive state, we can better understand the ecology and biology of this unique, native, and (most of the time!) rare mammal.

Discussion in 'January 2012' started by roscoe36, Jan 16, 2012.
8:00 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Rodney Stuckey 31% shooting........4.7 assists pg........10.9 points pg - 29% 3 point shooting. Ricky Rubio 47% shooting............8.3 assists pg.........11.0 points pg - 46% 3 point shooting. Yea........I can see Stuckey signing for over 8 mil per season....................Joe could too.
There was a good article about Stuckey's contract.... its only 8 8 and 4 in for sure money..... so not nearly as bad as it could be, 4 million in the last year makes this a very tradeable contract next year.
Minnesota by 15, Rubio will have more than 17 assists.
Knight will totally out-rebound Rubio in this one.
Totally agree! Knight out-rebounds Rubio, and Love out-rebounds the Pistons.
Oh baby, we've got a barn burner tonight! The Pistons play another team so we've got a chance to see a competent NBA team perform. Is it just me or does every team the Pistons play, save for Charlotte, seem to have 4-5 guys that would start at PF for them?
Do the Pistons have 1 guy that could crack the top 10 most athletic guys for MN?
I forgot about Bynum. He might even sniff the top 7. Joe is a freakin' genius! Our candidates are Bynum, Max (I'd rather have the guy that posts here.), Knight and Damien (might be 43 yrs old) Wilkins. Geez!
How did the T-Wolves get such a solid young roster? Isn't their GM (Kahn I think) a complete jackass? Why didn't they re-sign guys like Marco Jaric and Sebastian Telfair a couple of years back to above market contracts that would inhibit their ability to trade for younger/better talent and prevent the team from establishing some sort of forward thinking blueprint for success?
Rubio and Love are going to run wild on the Pistons. I expect another double digit loss.
Come home, eat dinner, watch the Pistons lose, repeat....
Sounds like a good laxative to me..............
As bad as the Wolves have been shooting, we should be up by 20 pts by half. But, alas it's just a 6 pt lead which I'm sure will evaporate quite fast in the 3rd.
Do the Pistons even know how to box out? It is insane that every game they give up so many offensive rebounds.
Another winnable game that equated to a loss due to turnovers, silly fouls and just being out hustled again down the stretch. Pistons blew a 16 pt second qtr lead allowing the Twolves to close on a 12-2 run to end the half with holding on to a 42-36 lead. The Pistons open the third on 9-4 run to open up a 13 point lead thanks to some hot shooting by Tay, only to see the Twolves trim that lead to 4 with a 9-0 run themselves . Even then you knew that the Twolves were probably going to win this game, because you could see the Pistons making mistakes that losing teams tend to make. Max missed key FT's and rebounds, Stuckey was missing point blank layups, JJ still getting into foul trouble. There was a crucial point in the 4th, where a rebound fell in front of three Pistons and Tolliver stepped in grabbed while the Pistons thought about it...he passed to Barea who buried a three to put the Wolves up by 1 for the first time in the game. From there it was all Twolves as they outscored the Pistons 19-12 from that point on with the Pistons only scoring 6 points the last 6 minutes of the game.....just enough to come close to our last in the league scoring average of 85.4 pts per game.
This was a good game...until it all went downhill in the fourth. As usual. Also as usual, it was the turnovers that did us in, but it was Brandon Knight and Greg Monroe in foul trouble (Greg fouled out) that started it all. All those and one calls, the careless ball handling (I'm looking at you, Stuck) and the overuse of isotayshauns that turned what was a good, potential blowout win into a frustrating loss. Ricky Rubio flops like a pro. Greg was very, very good early, he was aggressive, rebounding well, until he got 2 quick fouls and had to sit. I thought Frank kept him on the bench a bit too long, but the Pistons didn't need him at first, as they ran out to a 16 point lead in the second quarter...which sadly dwindled to 6 at the half. Greg was doing his best Rasheed impersonation too. "Blow the (f word) whistle man!" He needs to not let things like that get to him. Brandon was ice cold the whole way, going 0 for 4 early with his first points coming off a goal tend in the first half. He did a fine job on Minny's guards, but 2 quick fouls (his 3rd and 4th) forced him to sit with 4 minutes left in the 3rd. This was when Minny started to really chip away at the lead, as the Pistons' offense stagnated under the weight of, as I mentioned, the overuse of isotayshauns (for Stuck and Tay). Rubio also got loose at this point. Frank kept him on the bench far too long, as BG and Stuck got their fill on bad shots and, inevitably, loose ball handling (fix that, Stuck). He and Greg have to get better at not letting their frustrations get to them. Rubio was getting the calls (seemingly, I'd say it was pretty even), he was not, and that clearly got to him (same for Love and Moose). You simply can't rely on the officials to bail you out. Of his 4 turnovers, 2 were for offensive fouls. This team is different when he (or Greg) are on the floor or on the bench. Tayshaun was brilliant on offense for the first 3 quarters, our only reliable scorer. I thought he started to force it a bit at the end, those isotayshauns! Greg was making entry passes to him so he could post up. That's not something I want to see too often, as Minny's defense was by then geared to stop precisely that. Granted, he was hot tonight, but you have to get yours in the flow of the offense, and he was doing very well that way for the most part, but they went iso almost every time down the floor in the fourth. Isotayshauns only work for so long before coaches make adjustments, and it stagnates the offense. If you have a guy like Kobe, sure, as he's either going to get a basket or a foul call most of the time, but we don't have someone like that. Stuckey is touted for his defense. We all know this, and his defense is definitely better than BG's, just off of his size and strength. But he's very often a lazy defender, not fighting through screens hard enough, and unlike Brandon who will go and get the ball himself, Stuck is sometimes slow to go to it. There was once in the late third if I remember correctly, where four Pistons were standing around with the ball bouncing in the middle between them, and no one went to get it. Some guy in a white jersey just ran between them and laid it in. That kind of lazy basketball needs to be eliminated immediately. As the game wore on, I ended up practically begging Stuck to look to run something other than a post up for him/Tay. He and BG together is almost like him and WB out there. BG will inevitably go for that bad pull up jumper, and Stuck/WB will inevitably get tunnel vision, drive the lane and take a wild shot. Also, in BG's case, it'll be a dumb pass, for Stuck's it'll be him getting blocked or getting stripped at the top of the key (happened again, courtesy of the massively Tebow-hyped Rubio this time). Wilkins is usually a pretty solid guy, but he sucked tonight. That stupid foul at the end of the third was costly. Nothing left to say really. Max actually came to play tonight. His defense wasn't stellar, but he was at least showing more effort than he did last night. JJ was ok. He was actually his usual energetic self early, but he really needs to be more careful with the fouls. BG...he's like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. He forced a bunch of shots and allowed JJ Barea to get open far too often (those 3s were killer). This was why I wanted Frank to get Brandon back in earlier. BG was just getting burned to a crisp on D. Oh, and Darko sighting! Good riddance buddy! The Pistons need to get a trademark on the Fourth Quarter Collapse.
Didn't get to see it, but looks like a really bad collapse considering we were playing against a sub .500 team. Rubio is really pumping out the assists this year and Kevin Love just has a lot of energy for a big.
We can't beat a sub .500 team.. I mean.. that's common known. We should be really happy if we beat a sub .200 team !

Hi Lucy
Last week I did prepositions of time and place (on, at, in) with my two students in my private lesson. For this weeks' lesson they want to practise this structure in mainly conversation/speaking activities.
Have you any ideas for any such activities? I've trawed the net to no avail.
In addition, to teach these prepositions last week I took all my information from Raymond Murphy's book (blue) but felt that it was not enough as this is mainly a student's book and I felt that as a teacher I should have had some supplementary material. However after searching the net for hours I found very little on these prepositions, for example rules etc. Are there set rules for prepositions, because it seems to be all over the place to me, with more exceptions than rules.
Thanks in advance for all your help
