Chechnya's President Ramzan Kadyrov said Friday that the Boston bombings had nothing to do with his nation because the "boys" suspected of the acts were raised in the United States. Their attitudes and beliefs, however twisted, he said, were formed in America.
Kadyrov may not be entirely sincere, though. It's true that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 26 and 19 years old, respectively, were just kids when their father, Anzor, immigrated to Boston a decade ago. They grew up in this country, went to school here. The elder brother, a boxer who spent some brief time in Salt Lake City four years ago, was described as a loner. The younger one, Dzhokhar, is said to have been hitting marijuana hard. Neither claim, if true, would make them unique.
Nothing in their American lives seems to offer a plausible explanation for what they're accused of doing last week.
But their connection to Chechnya might.
The Tsarnaev brothers spent little, or possibly no time in the land of their ancestors but actually, that fact in itself may help to understand them better. The Tsarnaev family, as tens of thousands of their compatriots, lost their homeland in 1944, when Soviet dictator Josef Stalin punished the entire Chechen population's perceived (and actual) disloyalty to Moscow during World War II by shipping them from the northern Caucasus to Central Asia and the Siberian wastes. As many as half died on the way. The Tsarnaev brothers began their lives in exile, in Kyrgyzstan.
The family lived there for a long time but never assimilated. Chechens rarely do, at least that's a common perception in Russia. Here's the stereotype: dark complexion; speaking Russian with a thick accent; brave and aggressive, always picking fights; proud and loyal to friends and family but also treacherous and sneaky to outsiders; religious; fiercely independent.
After the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991, few Russians were surprised when Chechen leader and the younger Tsarnaev's namesake Dzhokhar Dudayev unilaterally declared his country's secession from Russia. Moscow refused, and the act was followed by two horrific wars with the Russian Army.
Those wars changed a lot of things in the region, and the most important one was that the movement that began as a pro-independence one gradually turned into radically Islamist. It also became international: there were Arab fighters and commanders helping the Chechens fight against the Russians, and there are hundreds of Chechen fighters around the world helping the likes of al-Qaida in hot spots, such as Syria and Libya.
In the end, the Chechen rebels were defeated. Chechnya remains part of Russian Federation and is ruled by a Moscow puppet regime led by Kadyrov, whose father in 1990 fought against the Russians but then switched sides and was assassinated. There still is armed resistance in the entire area, and it is now mostly Islamist. The slogan is "global jihad." The tactics are kidnappings, assassinations and bombings.
Here are some examples:
• The September 1991 apartment bombings in three Russian cities: 293 people died.
• The October 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis: 130 people dead.
• The September 2004 school siege in North Ossetia: 380 people dead, mostly young children.
• The March 2010 Moscow Metro bombing: 40 people dead.
There are plenty more.
It might seem to have nothing to do with America. But in 1996, when the first war with Russia ended in a stalemate, Chechnya's then-prime minister vowed to begin "a third world war" against the United States. (Never mind that his then-president, Aslan Maskhadov, was at the time in Washington trying to make friends.)
More details probably will emerge of what happened, but all that may have had a stronger impact on the Tsarnaev brothers than anything their new homeland had to offer.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's YouTube channel featured videos in support of fundamentalism and violent jihad. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev tweeted in March 2012: "a decade in America already, I want out."
The Tsarnaevs began their American lives in 2002. Their uncle Ruslan told a reporter that "they got their start as refugees, as refugees from war." Being young, full of angst over the tragedies of the past, stuck between different worlds and unable to belong may have turned out a deadly combination for the two young men, and those who happened to be in their way.

Prestigious panel examines impact of white collar crime
DETROIT (April 4, 2011) – The impact of white collar crime on the American economy and on individuals has been enormous, and its effect as an issue of citizenship has not been fully explored.
Now a prestigious panel including Barbara McQuade, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan; Harold Gurewitz, attorney with Gurewitz and Raben, PLC; and Peter J. Henning, Wayne State University Law School professor, will discuss the nature, impact, and challenges of white collar crime in a free public forum. "Corporate Citizenship and White Collar Crime in the Age of Enron and Madoff" that will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, 2011.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has said that white collar crime costs Americans more than $300 billion annually. First defined in 1939, white collar crime is described by the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School as "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation."
As examples, in recent years the depredations of Bernard Madoff made near-paupers of many individual investors who trusted him with their savings, while at a corporate level energy company Enron disrupted state economies, made a mockery of energy trading networks, and stymied attempts to plan vital energy infrastructure. The housing bubble that led to the worst national recession since the Great Depression has been fueled, in part, by white-collar crime at many levels.
The free event, to be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, 2011, at the Law School's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium, is presented by the Center for the Study of Citizenship at Wayne State. Audience members will have an opportunity to interact with the panelists during a question and answer session.
The event is co-sponsored by the Federal Bar Association, the Detroit Metropolitan Bar Association, the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan, and Wayne State University Law School, Irvin D. Reid Honors College, Eugene Applebaum Chair in Community Engagement, and Forum on Contemporary Issues in Society (FOCIS).

|Auto Washing, Detailing & Paint Protection Discuss wax, polish, chamois, microfiber towels, simple cloth towel, scratch repair and paint protection. Use this Forum to discuss your cleaning tricks and techniques.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
under hood detailing
I use purple power and an electric pressure washer. If you are planning to paint some engine parts. I use dupli color engine paint with ceramic. I use a blast cabinet to get the parts down to bare metal,spray with brake cleaner and then paint. The paint sticks and holds up very well when I've used this method.
I do the same thing as Dave and it turns out very well. well enough that FSWERKS asked to use my engine bay pics on their site(=
|Great message and information, and thanks for the photos!
There are several ways you can detail an engine bay, and many products you can use. I personally would stay away from Simple Green since it can leave stains on bare metal. At our shot we use Optimum APC and Meguiars APC, but of which are safe on metal, especially when diluted. If you want to pick up something locally you can grab Zep Citrus at your local Home Depot. You can dilute it up to 10:1 with water and still have it work very well at breaking up dirt and grime under you hood, and it's much safer than simple green. You still need to be careful and not let it dry on hot components, but it won't stain if you use it properly.
The first thing you want to do is cover whatever you don't want to get wet (ie open air filter element on intake, distributor cap, ecu connections etc). You can use aluminum foil for this since it can be molded over things with different shapes. Some have also used plastic bags and duct tape with great success.
After you have those things covered you can use a light stream of water to get everything a little wet. Then spray on your APC of choice and let it dwell for just a couple minutes. You want to get a good brush (we use Raceglaze brushes) and aggitate the areas with built up dirt and grime. Once everything is good to go, you can use another light stream of water to rinse it all down. Be sure to nit use high pressure water since the last thing you want to do is force water into places it shouldn't be under the hood.
After you have rinsed off all the dirt and cleaners you want to dry as much as you can. At our shop we use a Master Blaster blower to blow off the water, you can also use a normal leaf blower if you already have one. If you don't have one, you can use a couple MF towels to dry as much of the water off as possible. Finally you can apply your favorite dressing to the plastic and rubber parts. We use Sonus Tire and Trim Kote, because it has great durability and you don't need to wipe it down, it cures all on it's own. I would personally stay away from spraying super shiny tire dressings on your engine bay since they seem to attract more dust.
Hope this helps!
|303 Aerospace... all youll ever need.
NO NO NO stay away from Simple Green is not safe for aluminum it will turn your aluminum black over time
Read up on this first
one tip for cleaning underhood is to use mechanic's hand soap.
Not the kind with pumice
Gojo or similar on a rag is great for wiping off muck, and the lanolin leaves it shiny.
Been using this on spark plug wires, hoses, etc for decades.
Simple Green for the first major cleaning if it's really bad. The real trick is maintaining it underhood. Everytime that I wash the outside, I get underhood also. I just use some dish soap with hot water in a pump-up garden sprayer and hit everything underhood. I wrap open element air filters in a plastic shopping bag, and am carefull around obvious electrical components. I let it soak for a couple of minutes, agitate especially grungy areas, then hose off with a garden hose. Lastly, I use the blower attachment for my ShopVac to blast the majority of the water out, then final wipe-down with a synthetic chamois.
This isnt' a great pic, but this is an underhood pic of my 9 year old, daily-driven Ranger.
And this is an award that I got at a car show this past October that I'm pretty proud of--Best Under-hood Detailing. 200+ cars at this show, most were truly show cars, very few daily drivers.
|simple green way to go
Depending on your experience and comfortability; you could use stuff like simple green to mist the engine bay and use warm or hot water in a pressure washer (being uber-careful to avoid electrical connections, modules, and housings) to wash and rinse the buildup of dirt away. You'd also want to keep a good distance with the wand, too close and the force of the water could damage what it touches or easily force water past waterproofing measures at the aforementioned electrical connectors.
There seems to be two camps to having the engine on while doing this: more often than not folks perform the job with the engine on so any water that may end up where it shouldn't be gets heated quickly and turns to steam before it can seep in. Two ideals on water temperature as well... I go with hot/warm water as the temperature differential between an engine at operating temperature and spigot water could affect the metals (a la Mr. Wizard's can demo). Better safe than sorry.
If you don't feel right about going that route, bust out the rags, cotton swabs, old chopsticks/bamboo sticks; 'cause your gonna be getting in there! It's much more time consuming, but 100% better for a shaky ego. Avoid armor all or any kind of oil-based dress up sprays. They break down your underhood rubber parts and they'll wear much faster than they would normally. Tire shine is also a no-no. If you clean properly, rubber should look fine without dressups... if you just gotta use something; wipe it off before you call the job done! Those products when sprayed and left, are kind of thick and will attract dirt/dust and 'undo' in rapid fashion, all your work. If you remove components to clean around them, do so a few items at a time so you don't lose your place and stumble on the locations when reinstalling them, too. Hope that helps!

The group found general agreement on a key point. Over the past three years, federal revenue has been lower as a share of the economy than at any time since 1950. Diane Lim Rogers, a "deficit hawk" from the Concord Coalition, hammered on the idea that putting the government on a sound fiscal footing will require more revenue. The others agreed. That was true even of Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who heads the conservative think tank American Action Forum and advised John McCain's presidential campaign.

In ancient times, explorers would set off into uncharted lands without fear of what might lie ahead. The thrill of adventure is what motivated them to travel to where others were too afraid to go. The title "Hic Sunt Dracones" is Latin for "Here there are Dragons" and was placed on uncharted areas of maps to signify the dangers that may lie there.

The best place for WorldMark resort information on the Internet.
Many WorldMark owners are concerned about Wyndham's continued domination over our Club's Board of Directors for various reasons. If you share our concerns, we ask for your help.
You can help by participating in our Club's annual election and assigning your proxy to WM Owners, Inc. . Details and recommendations for the 2016 election are here.
Among our concerns are:
- The proposed "restated" Bylaws are a more than a mere restatement. This proposal provides additional powers to the Wyndham controlled Board of Directors. The WORST thing we can do is to vote to give up what few powers we still hold over our own Board of Directors. One owner has described the proposed bylaws as "a wolf in sheep's clothing"; and another as "a power-grab by Wyndham". WM Owners, Inc. will vote NO on the proposed Bylaws.
- Maintenance and housekeeping fees are significantly out pacing cost of living indexes.
- Credits required to occupy our newer resorts are skyrocketing, thereby putting pressure on the fairly-valued resorts in the system.
- Wyndham sales tactics are embarrassingly aggressive and uncomfortable.
- Decisions by our current Board of Directors seem more intent on protecting the interests of Wyndham, rather than the interests of WorldMark owners.
Mr. Matt Shiner lost by a narrow margin only because of proxies controlled by WorldMark's Board of Directors.
Wyndham controlled voting power decreased from 52% of the total vote in vote in 2012 to 39% in 2013.
This significant decrease is the result of:
- increased owner understanding of the term "voting power" & the advantage gained by voting as a block
-fewer owners split their votes.
- fewer candidates; thereby reducing dilution of (non-Wyndham) owner votes
- a 20% decrease in proxies assigned to the Wyndham controlled Board of Directors

Green Bay Looks to Get Back on Track in Homestand
By Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With two games in three days, the Green Bay women's soccer team (3-8-1, 0-2-1 HL) will return to Aldo Santaga Stadium to face Youngstown State and Wisconsin. The two-game homestand comes after a heartbreaking 1-0 double-overtime loss at Cleveland State Oct. 3. The Phoenix will square off against Youngstown State Saturday, Oct. 6 at 1 p.m., and then host nonconference rival Wisconsin Monday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m.
Green Bay returns home looking for its first win since an impressive 3-1 outing against South Dakota Sept. 9. The team has remained competitive, falling in three of its last four losses by only one goal. Head coach Trevor Warren felt the team played one of its best games of the season in the double overtime loss to Cleveland State.
Youngstown State enters Santaga Stadium with a 6-4-0 record, recently snapping a four-game skid with a 3-1 win over Cedarville Sept. 25. The Penguins last outing came in the form of a 2-1 win over Milwaukee Sept. 29. Green Bay holds a commanding 9-2-1 all-time record over Youngstown State, winning eight straight meetings from 2001-07. Last year's meeting saw the teams combine for 36 shots, but resulted in a 0-0 tie.
After a day off Sunday, Green Bay will remain at home to face visiting Wisconsin. The Badgers come to Green Bay for the first time since 2005 with a 7-4-1 overall record, but are just 2-3-1 on the road this season. The Badgers have gone 0-2-1 over their last three games, most recently battling Ohio State to a scoreless tie Sept. 30. A win against Wisconsin would be the first in program history for Green Bay, as the Badgers hold a 15-0-0 all-time record against the Phoenix.
After the two-game homestand, Green Bay will have 10 days off before hosting rival Milwaukee Oct. 19.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Links for live stats, and live video will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com for the Phoenix games against the Penguins and Badgers.
HOMESTAND SUCCESS: Green Bay's last two-game, three-day homestand came earlier this season when the team hosted Michigan Tech Sept. 7 and South Dakota Sept. 9. The Phoenix offense came alive over those two games as the team won both contests by a combined score of 7-3.
SAVING THE DAY: In her first season as starting goalkeeper, sophomore Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) needs just one save to record her 50th of the season. Pilarzyk has one shutout on the year and boasts a 1.36 goals against average.
MARCHING OVER THE PENGUINS: Green Bay holds a 9-2-1 all-time record over Youngstown State, including an eight-game streak from 2001-07 in which the Phoenix outscored the Penguins 28-5. The 2011 meeting between the two teams ended in a 0-0 tie.
BADGERS: A win in Monday's matchup
would be the first time Green Bay has defeated Wisconsin. Since the first
meeting in 1987, Wisconsin holds a 15-0-0 all-time record over Green Bay. The
past three matchups, all played at Wisconsin, ended 1-0 in favor of the

Introduction: Hi guys! It's me iAmNameless. I think a lot of you already knew me since I'm one of the close beta players of WYD Global. But for the sake of the new ones and those who don't know me, I'll give you some revelations to who i Am.
I've play SD my before WYD Global came to be and founded one of the strongest Red Guild in SD my. I left SD my due to some personal reasons and played SD ph and become a famous pkeir character. I will not say my character name or who I was back then for my own personal reasons.
I've handled a lot of Guilds in many MMO's before such as RO(Ragnarok Online), ROSE (Rush On Seven Episode), RF(Rising Force). The Guilds I've Handled and have been has become one of the strongest and famous Guild on each game. Our Guild in ROSE where shown on MTV.
Anyways, in WYD Global, I was known as KillerKiller before and was quite a noob because of the different skills and other things in WYD Global from old SD but some bugs from SD before worked in WYD Global but WYD Global are fixing them well. T T Good Bye to my No Fail Ancienting God Weapon Tactics. It doesn't work anymore T T
My achievements on WYD Global
I was one of the Sub-Chief of one of the pioneer strong Guilds in WYD Global, MAFIA. Then became an Omni member and left it because Jes prefer to love his BR friends than me T T. I founded Onrpg then went to Zeus when I failed to lead it. Left Zeus and reestablished Onrpg and Akatsuki which was a success. After that I formed Armageddon which I have high hopes and expectation to dominate WYD Global and become no 1 Guild but because of Arrogant aka BonnieCan who back stab me, that dreamed ended and continued on Emp1re. I really wanna settle in 1 Guild which will dominate in WYD Global. I hope this will be it guys!

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Darth Tater, Sep 24, 2013.
I don't know anything about the NHL. I just joined because I like saying "Evgeni Nabokov."
You got that right.
It's pretty much a log jam except at the top. But I wouldn't say I've woken up. I remember the names of all 4 of my sucky goalies ( probably because I looked earlier and4 other guys, but I have no idea who they are or what teams their on. Hell. Come to think of it Woody, I think we are both lucky to remember who WE are some days!
Hey, it's time again to swim again with the Sharks. He's been eating us alive!
I went 7-0 in goalie categories and 0-7 in offensive categories last week.
Sounds about average to me. My team is frustratingly inconsistent. But, so are most of the rest of the teams except Junior's. I think the computer draft did this to us. Not enough good goalies to get an advantage there. I keep shuffling players in an out, but that doesn't work. And I never seem to learn of an injury until Monday when it's too late to make a change. But then, everybody is having the same problem. And, who invited Junior??? Big mistake. I'll bet he set up his draft preferences in a much more knowledgeable way than I did. Big mistake. But I still enjoy the battle. Just trying to keep ahead of Beer, Darth, and Jammer.
Sergei Bobrovsky is on the block if anyone is looking for an upgrade in net. He has won 8 straight games and has good stats across the board. I just have 2 other goalies that are playing better than him so he has been sitting on my bench.
Never heard of him. Not having played Fantasy Hockey for 3+ years, I don't know anyone. Just the old timers like Brodeur. Big Mistake. And then there's Lubomir. :-) Oh well, time marches on....
He's the Vezina trophy winner from last season. The Vezina trophy is awarded to the top goalie each year. Named after George Vezina, a famous goalie who was born in 1887, the same year you were born. Did you know him?
No, I didn't know him, but I've got one of his relatives playing goal for me this year. Mark-Andre Fleury from Pittsburgh lets in more goals than a sieve. I could use a cardboard cut-out of Jammer in the crease and he would stop just as many as Fleury. Come to think of it, I could use the real Jammer in the crease and do just as well. In fact, I'd be open to a trade to make that possible.
I own the Jammer rights. He is currently also under contract with me to model my new line of Victorias Worst Nightmares bikinis. I'm eager to upgrade in net and this Stevie Wonder dude I just signed looks twice as good as jammer. I guess you're desperate. Do you have an old pair of socks lying around your house you would be willing to part with for the rights to jammer? I'm willing to negotiate if you feel the price is a bit steep...
I've got a dog named "Socks." He's a little long in the tooth, but his tail still wags. Would you take him??
I haven't been paying much attention, but I've been improving a bit lately. We've played 17 games this year of which I'vek won only 4 games. But oddly all 4 were by large margins. But the really of thing is THREE have been against poor Woody. And even weirder, I think I'm in 4th place with those few wins. The league is weird. So many (7) mediocre teams and one good one. Which should make the good one very nervous because quite often ( it has happened to me before) a mediocre team has a good week and then they are the "best team). OK Time to finish Super Bowl preparations as our guests will start arriving soon. My guess is Peyton Manning beats the Seattle defense. Who cares.
You think I have the only good team?
No, Bill, you don't have the only good team, but you know who does! Looks like Beer's Super Bowl prediction is as accurate as his hockey picks. My team has been playing a few bricks short (cheap shots are welcome) all year. Datsuyk has been nonexistent most of the year, and every time I pick up a new player, he immediately goes in the IR on Monday. I'm hoping that after the Olympics the worm will turn and all my bad luck will turn into good. Maybe even the one good team (and why did we let him in?) will suffer like the rest of us.
The Olympic break: per YAhoo "Game Week 19 follows a 21-day schedule, beginning February 10, 2014 at midnight PT and ending March 2, 2014 at 11:59:59 PM PT, or at the conclusion of the final Sunday night game if it hasn't ended by then to account for the 2014 Olympic Games" My interpretation is that Week 19 is extended from now until March 2 and all games are cancelled. I believe the week will resume the next day but you'll play your week 20 opponent. Meaning you will not ever play your week 19 opponent. If there is a different interpretation or you find out information to the contrary please post it because I'm not taking responsibility for any confusion. I did my very best. Now it is up to you to make sure my information/ interpretation are correct.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated. And any kindness you may have shown, also.
@ Mikhail. I stomped you all three (3) games we played in football including the issuance of your "gone fishing" license out of the playoffs. After Sunday, you will have stomped me in all three (3) games we played in hockey, perhaps including the issuance of my " gone fishing" license preventing me from even making the playoffs. Touché turtle strikes again! @ all, Three (3) weeks remain and it may be a photo finish at the playoff line for most of the teams in our league. I'm stuck playing the top three (3) teams. What is with the number three (3)?
Wow! I just noticed that Detteam crushed junior and knocked him off his perch in the process. The rookie Detteam now rules the league!! Well done. Go easy on me next week.

(Cleveland) - Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. announced Thursday that it will open Le Méridien Cleveland in Playhouse Square in January 2016. It will follow the completion of an adaptive re-use project that will join together and transform two adjacent, historic buildings on Euclid Avenue.
Owned by JHB Hotel, LLC, Le Méridien Cleveland will be the brand's third historic adaptive re-use project in North America, following Le Méridien Philadelphia and Le Méridien Tampa.
"Le Méridien Cleveland will build upon the brand's success with historic, adaptive re-use projects and provide travellers with an enticing new option in the heart of Cleveland's thriving theatre district," said Allison Reid, Senior Vice President of North America Development, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.

The new Le Méridien Cleveland will be developed at 1001-1101 Euclid Avenue as part of a visionary project that will connect and transform two adjacent buildings – the John Hartness Brown Building (JHB Building), originally constructed in 1901 as a multi-story office building with retail space, and 1101 Euclid Avenue, built in 1915 as an office building.
The development will also include 10,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a 125-space parking garage.

"Great card. Since it was square and would have required extra postage I got the rectangular envelopes that square card fits in but no extra postage requird. They were very tight to get card in and only fit one way. Would not get these envelopes again!"
"Love the colour palette and simplicity of this card. I like that the layout offered maximum space for good-sized pictures without a cluttered look. I changed the back layout to include 2 pictures which still allowed for personalized messages to be written between them and the footer. I chose the light gray with pearl white shimmer and metallic silver envelopes - happy with those additions. Also impressed with the designers' post-order service to help me better accomodate my pictures since the preset sizes didn't quite work with one of the photos. Pleased with the modern feel of our fun New Year's card!"
"This was the first time I had visited the tinyprints website and I was immediately drawn to the beautiful, unique designs of the cards. There are so many ways to personalize your chosen card beyond the pictures you upload; I love how the back of the card is just as beautiful as the front. When we received the tinyprints package everything was packaged and organized within the box. The quality of the paper and the overall presentation is exactly what I was hoping for with this purchase. Definitely worth every penny and I will be using tinyprints again."

13 week old puppy frightened of strangers and other dogs
Im not sure if I should be worried or not. Our puppy is happy and playful when indoors. I took her over our local park after she had her second vaccinations and she enjoyed it up until a labradoodle off leash bounded over to her and sniffed her from head to toe. She cowered when this happened and refused to go out for walks for a few days after that. She will now happily go for a walk, although she stops every few steps to look behind us and will hide behind my legs if there are strangers following us until they have gone past. I have taken her to collect my son from school daily and gradually got nearer to the school and extra noise and people. However she hides behind my legs if people come too close. If I move away she will growl and bark until the person backs off. She cowers if other dogs come to say hello. However, if my son's friend or sister approach her with kibble, she will eventually eat it out of their hand and seems less stressed. Is this normal?

Marywood College opened on September 8, 1915, with a class of 34 women, one of whom was Sister St. Mary Orr, IHM who later became its eighth president. In 1924, the Liberal Arts building opened. In 1928, O'Reilly Hall (now Regina Hall), an on-campus residence for students, was dedicated. In 1937, a major enhancement of the Liberal Arts Rotunda was completed.
IHM Leadership
The superiors of the Congregation of Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, served as the presidents of the College for almost three decades. Mother M. Germaine O'Neill, IHM, was the first president. The actual administration of the College, however, was the responsibility of Sister M. Immaculata Gillespie, IHM, Ph.D., who served as dean from 1915 to 1943. Her influence on the College's growth and development was remarkable. The vast changes she witnessed during her lifetime, 1863-1947, were astounding. She responded with an openness to the challenges of life that gave Marywood its dynamism and confidence throughout many difficult years. Under her leadership, Marywood acquired degree granting powers in 1917, and these were expanded in 1922 to the awarding of the Master of Arts degree. In 1921, the College became one of the charter members of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Mother Germaine also initiated the global dimension at Marywood, welcoming the College's first international students in 1917. For 28 years, her presence was a stabilizing and energizing force.
Expansion & Growth
Sister M. Sylvia Morgan, IHM, Ph.D., was the first president of Marywood College whose position was not the result of her being the superior of the IHM Congregation. Her administration and that of her successor, Sister M. Eugenia Kealy, IHM, were times of great expansion and growth. During this period, four new buildings were constructed, enrollment was almost tripled, accreditations in various professional organizations were achieved, and new academic programs were developed including an expanded graduate division. This growth and diversification occasioned a marked increase in the number of lay faculty members, who joined with the sister-faculty in advancing the mission of the College.
Sister St. Mary Orr, IHM, Ph.D., led the College through the troubled sixties. This was, however, another decade of rapid growth and diversification. The Graduate School of Social Work was established in 1967, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences became a separate entity in 1968. Five new buildings were dedicated between 1964 and 1968, including the Learning Resources Center, an addition that greatly enhanced the educational capacities of the College.
Overcoming Obstacles
Sister M. Coleman Nee, IHM, succeeded Sister St. Mary as president in 1970. The first year of her administration was marked with a dramatic crisis, the destruction by fire of the IHM Motherhouse, the building that housed the College in its first years. The subsequent years of her administration were more tranquil but no less challenging. Efforts to serve new student populations led to the opening of the Gillet School, a school for undergraduate male students and for adult and continuing education students. During her administration, Marywood responded to the direction set by the Second Vatican Council, intensifying traditional commitment to action on behalf of justice. While fostering students' personal development of values of justice and peace, the students would become competent and compassionate professionals, well equipped to address the challenges of the global society. Assuring excellent professional preparation led to the building of the Visual Arts Center and the expansion of the Human Services Center (now William G. McGowan Center for Graduate and Professional Studies) and the Health and Physical Education Center.
A Legacy of Progress
When Sister Mary Reap, IHM, Ph.D., became the tenth president in 1988, she assumed the leadership of a vibrant institution. As Marywood's longest-serving president, she fostered a legacy of progress, characterized by significant growth and an ongoing commitment to excellence that earned Marywood national accolades as one of the premier Catholic universities in the region. She provided leadership rich in the traditions of service, academic excellence, and responsiveness to the signs of the times. During her remarkable 19-year tenure, Marywood achieved: full co-educational status; dramatic campus expansion through the construction or renovation of 24 facilities, including several world-class facilities -- the Insalaco Center for Studio Arts, the O'Neill Center for Healthy Families, the Center for Athletics and Wellness, and the Swartz Center for Spiritual Life, to name a few; a substantial increase in financial commitments from all donor constituencies; an emergence as the leading provider of graduate education in Northeast Pennsylvania and the first regional institution offering doctoral degree programs; the transformation from college to university status in 1997, and, in 2003, an academic restructuring of the University into four colleges.
Since 2003, three of the four colleges have been named and endowed. The colleges include:
- Reap College of Education and Human Development
- Insalaco College of Creative and Performing Arts
- College of Health and Human Services
- Munley College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Empowering Students through Education
Sister Anne Munley, IHM, Ph.D. served as Marywood's eleventh president from 2007-2016. With her international expertise as an administrator, educator, and sociologist, Sister Anne further developed a culturally diverse and global educational experience for all students. During her tenure, Marywood University established a new School of Architecture—the first to open in northeast Pennsylvania (2009); the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (2013); and the School of Business and Global Innovation (2014). She guided Marywood through its Centennial year (2015), overseeing the construction of a new Learning Commons and the Motherhouse and Seminary Morgan Memorial Garden, both of which were dedicated on Marywood's Centennial Anniversary, September 8, 2015. An Outdoor Amphitheatre, still in progress, will complete the Centennial Complex.
A Second Century of Education and Service
Sister Mary Persico, IHM, Ed.D., was elected to serve as Marywood's twelfth president in 2016. Known for her extensive leadership, business, and fundraising experience, Sister Mary's values align powerfully with those of Marywood and the future of the University. She is committed to making Marywood the university of choice for talented, diverse, and intelligent men and women who want to make a positive impact on society at regional and global levels. Sister Mary is taking Marywood University forward into its second century and continuing leadership in the strong and vibrant IHM tradition, which has guided and enlightened leadership throughout Marywood's history.

Hi Bonne,
I love how even though you can't really talk well, you already have multiple homes and you're driving!! Driving is already hard enough for most of the world, so I'm really glad that you can show everyone that it's easy for you.

As a student of recreational therapy, I traveled to Costa Rica to participate in a study-abroad program. While I never used the r-word directed at a person, I was still using it as a poor adjective choice.

The fact people throw the word around like it's nothing irritates me. People don't realize that there are actually people out there who have disabilities and try so hard to be normal and by calling them the R-word you put them down and make them feel like nothing.

My father was disabled and had mental handicaps, therefore he felt that he wasn't as "smart" or "good enough" because of how poorly he had been treated for being "slow". Even though I wasn't the one being called it, hearing my dad use that word to describe himself made me so unbelievably sad.

With a sister with Down syndrome, every time I hear the R word it crushes me inside. It makes it hard to function. My sister means the world to me and I can't stand to hear that word.

Thread: Cam Speaks
Re: Cam Speaks
I'm pleased he has not hard feelings and I wish him well. At the same time I'm glad he's no longer here.
Re: Cam Speaks
Nice article
Maybe Cam will get a top college job like Greg Mattison did
Cam was passionate about Michigan anyway, in the video conferences if he saw a reporter with a Michigan cap he'd be asking straight away "you a Michigan guy?"
Re: Cam Speaks
Lets not forget Cam is a ego maniac who likely cost the Ravens a SB appearance somewhere down the line. If he was still OC I highly doubt Ravens are in this years SB. I can care less about the guy, who put himself above the team.

Re: Cam Speaks
You have to give the guy a ring- it might not have worked out, but he made a big contribution to where we are now, and was the perfect OC when Flacco came into the league.
Any time a young QB pans out, whoever was his first stable OC deserves credit for initial development.I told everyone that if I went to Pittsburgh I would have to throw up on my jersey every time I played, - Double J will always be a Raven
Re: Cam Speaks
Eh call me cynical, but the only reason Cam is rooting for the Ravens is because he wants that ring too lol and he knows Biscuit is class through and through so he'll get one. The irony is that if Cam was still the OC we wouldn't even BE in the Super Bowl, so meh to him. Hope he finds another job though. Preferably with the Steelers.

Re: Cam Speaks
Its nice to hear theres no hard feelings. Besides Rex (on some occasions) and a player or two here and there, typically people have nothing but good things to say about the Ravens. Thats the definition of a class act organization in my book.-JAB
Re: Cam Speaks
I'm no Cam fan, but his legacy (and career) would have been much different had Evans/Cundiff not screwed us.
I have no doubt his inability to adapt/be flexible held Flacco back, and quite often his scheme put our guys in a position to fail (not succeed).
Easy to look back and see how he might have cost us in recent playoff games...3 points against the Colts in the playoffs? The collapse in Pitts? But we also have to look at player execution and turnovers.
He should get a ring, but I am glad our OFF is no longer stuck in the mud of Cam's dated, inflexible schemes.

Re: Cam Speaks
Honestly though, if you were him, would you want it, getting it like that? It's one thing for the equipment guy to get one cause he's still doing his job, no matter how insignificant. Not being involved at the end, not being involved somehow at the the end, would taint it for me.

Re: Cam Speaks
I've campaigned for Cam's dismissal for at least the last two years so I'm very happy that he's gone.
But it was a football thing, not personal. I don't think anyone can question that Cam was trying his best. He never came up short on effort. And he actually did a good job, IMO, in his first couple of years as a Raven. He just lacks the skills we need now.
So if we win the SB, Cam should get a ring if he wants one.

Re: Cam Speaks
Cam's record here stands on its own.
We were focused on the negatives, meaning the inflexability, the lack of timely adjustments
He did develop Flacco, keep him (as a totally green starting rookie) from getting killed.... (there was the one severe thigh bruise time frame)....
We couldn't fully develop with Cam and he deserves a ring recognition.... just that it will have irony in that he helped get it but wouldn't have gotten it if he stayed. We still have to get it though before this discussion becomes liveat one point of my life I was exactly Pi years old

The Roughriders, made up mostly of alumni of the Maryland-based club team, was victorious in a 6-4 decision over Team UR Sports in Sunday afternoon's Men's Elite final in the Ocean City Lacrosse Classic.
Helped by excellent longpole play by Salisbury's Austin Kemp (1G) and Drexel's Matt Dusek (2G), The Roughriders were able to carry the momentum into the championship from their comeback win in the 12 p.m. semifinal over the Baltimore Crabs. Greg Edmonds (Hopkins), Will Corrigan (Notre Dame) and Brian Schultz (Loyola) were the other scorers. Mike Faby (Hopkins) was impressive on faceoffs, while Salisbury All-American Alex Taylor did a strong job minding the nets and leading the clearing game.
Comprised of several Long Island products, Team UR Sports went up 4-2 at the half with excellent goalie play from the Charlotte Hounds' Adam Ghitelman, but wouldn't score again. Corey Winkoff, a 2011 Penn grad, was UR's main contributor with two goals, and Vermont's Drew Philie had one goal.
On the road to the Men's Elite title, Roughriders topped the Crabs 10-9 in a hotly contested semifinal that pitted a Baltimore-area public school club versus a predominantly private school club. Marlatt was key in the win, scoring at least three goals.
UR Sports guaranteed the Baltimore-Long Island showdown in the final topping Big Fellas 8-4.
In the early morning quarterfinals, Roughriders beat illadelph 8-7, Crabs beat Magerks 10-8, UR Sports beat Greene Turtle Fell's Point 8-7 and Big Fellas beat Mesa Fresh 8-4.
After rolling through Crab Bag 12-0 in the semifinal, Smartlink managed to come back after trailing by as many as three goals to top Koopers Tavern for the Masters championship. Koopers advanced after surviving a 10-7 shootout with defending champions Greene Turtle Fell's Point.
Grand Masters
Harley Davidson came back to beat Interlocking Grayhounds 5-4 in overtime, holding the Grayhounds scoreless in the final frame to overcome a 4-2 deficit.

After months of trying to write an evaluation test I've decided that it's silly, it's reinventing the wheel and there are surely evaluation tests on sale out there that are far better than anything I (with neither training or experience as an examiner) could come up with.
I need to seperate learners of the first 4 Cambridge (or ALTE) levels.
I'd like to use the same test as an end-of-course evaluation so it would be good if it were a multimedia CD with some possibility of selecting equivalent questions at random. An interactive CD would also allow testing of listening comprehension and questions depending on answers to the questions before
- What do you use? What do you use as evaluation when they arrive and how do you measure their progress before they leave?
All test recomendations if multimedia or not gratefully received

Only about 43% of eligible voters turned out for the European Union parliament elections which witnessed a strong showing by center-right parties as well as Green candidates. It appears that socialist parties such as the UK Labor Party went down to a resounding defeat because voters did not believe they were offering policies that dealt with their concerns about unemployment as well as the tricky issue of immigrants. A member of the British Fascist party even won a seat most probably because of a campaign against immigrants in his country. Jose Manuel Barros, president of the EU executive European Commission, argued, "Overall, the results are an undeniable victory for those parties and candidates that support the European project and want to see the European Union delivery policy responses to their everyday concerns."
The European Union elections still lack the presence of major candidates offering policies that would deal with these everyday concerns. There is scant doubt many candidates ran for office on a platform of fear, fear of the stranger, fear of immigrants. Perhaps, it is time for a presidency which can offer leadership for the entire European Union.

Hello All!
I am still working on the Santa display. It is going to take some more time but it will turn out "well" (and for me, "well" is very good.... I settle for no less.)
Thanks Pumpkin for offering to help with the "best of" thing. I will take you up on it!
I hate (HATE HATE HATE) chicken wire, but... I am going to have to make my life size snowman out of it.... (Lowe's out here only sells GIANT spools of chicken wire so I had to go to The HD to get what I wanted.) I also dislike HD! But I do have a company credit card for HD, so at least I didn't have to pay for it this time out of my own pocket...
And Paper Machie, machei, machettie? Same thing!
Thank God for my willing employees!
I know, you guys want to see the pics of "Santa"!

I haven't seen Fred (Santa) lately, he must be very busy this time of year! Actually he is Santa at the outlet mall, so he is very busy...
I pretty much finished up my Snowman display (Santa will sit with him) and I took some pictures.
I have a few details to work on yet, but it was 2:45am when I finally decided to leave. (there is a bare spot on the tree and I couldn't find any cute pine cones at wallyworld for the garland) etc. etc.
Hope you enjoy!
Oh, that is nice. Love the snowman.
The snowman looks great Edwin!

Ship that was for older 1st gen guns some 2 need help but very few. I took mine out of box ran break free on slide rails and went to shooting 50 rounds S&B ball did same with #2 gun next day.
Only thing you need to learn is to let trigger go all way foward so fully resets other wise you will have a lite primer strike.
This takes a couple mags of fast fireing .at least for me.
Now on gen 2 the sights are black so you can make any color you want. Since this is close up pistol I painted front orange and left rear alone. I shoot a little low and about a 4" group at 10 yds.
Use a small screw driver to remove pin and keep fingers on each side or pin as popping out. Just like manual says.
If you get the 380 you might get the 11 and 13 lb recoil springs from wolff Their for 32 but work in 380. Might tame recoil some.
I shoot S&B in mine for play and of course Corbon for SD(see loki corbon results) in 380 the DPX is proving to be the best .After all Mike Shovel at Corbon said that was the test gun for the 380DPX.
Both of mine have been flawless Uncle Mike #1 pocket holster is correct one.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Intra-household bargaining power in the context of HIV prevention: An application to married couples in rural Malawi
Berit Gerritzen, WAPPP Fellow, University of St. Gallen
Gender inequality has been identified by UNAIDS as a key driver of the HIV epidemic. In Sub-Saharan Africa, where two-thirds of all HIV-infected people live, young women are up to eight times more likely than men to be infected. Using panel data from the Malawi Diffusion and Ideational Change Project MDICP, this research analyzes the importance of intra-household bargaining power in the context of HIV prevention (i.e., condom use within marriage and HIV-related spousal communication) and risky sexual behavior (i.e., self-reported male extramarital behavior). Data on spouses as well as junior wives (in the case of polygamous marriages) has been matched, which enables for a simultaneous assessment of changes in intra-household bargaining power of both partners. The panel dimension of the data allows me to capture unobserved heterogeneity and time trends by using individual-specific fixed effects and time dummies.
Lunch will be provided.
An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

Back in 2011 we considered using Pop's 440 he built many years ago, for his truck, in the 2011 Mopar Muscle Magazine Engine Challenge. You can search the forums for the 2011 Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge and see pages 14 & 15 for some information on the original motor Pop built. Well, we need a dyno mule for some cylinder head testing. So we yanked his 440 from the truck where it has set for over 10 years now, and are pressing it into service. We wondered how it would work in the Dyno Challenge and now we have our own dyno, so we can actually do some testing with it.We pulled the Comp 260H cam and replaced it with a Comp XE285HL, flycut the L2355 forged 6-pack replacement pistons a little deeper so we could run a larger solid roller cam when we wanted to. We'll do some testing with some ported factory 346 cast iron cylinder heads using stock 2.08/1.74 valves. We'll be trying some additional porting and larger valves in those heads and then switch to our ported Indy EZ heads flowing right at 350 cfm at the maximum lift of the XE285HL cam with the 1.6 rockers we are using. The engine will be running 8.9:1 compression with the large 346 combustion chambers and the additional flycutting on the pistons.Follow along through the various stages and we'll see how much horsepower we can coax out of this .030 over 440 on 91 octane.
Sometimes it's hard to find time to work on our own engines, but we're getting closer to firing this thing. Pre-oiled the engine tonight at it's got 80 psi cold with the 30wt breakin oil.The 346 heads with the stock size 2.08/1.74 valves are flowing:Lift........INT/EXH.100.........88/59.200........164/114.300........210/158.400........236/194.500........259/211.600........270/224.700........280/234Time to modify the stock distributor so I doesn't have some 40 degrees mechanical advance.
It's unfortunate and one of those things you hate to see happen, but I've got a sore muscle and a cramp in my left buttock from kneeling behind the dyno console to repair the cooling fan on the dyno power supply.After fixing the computer mouse and the fan, we did manage to get the camshaft broken in and the inner springs installed and are now ready to make some dyno runs today........I hope.
Alright, we've got a lot of work to do yet but here are some early results.498 lb-ft @ 3,700 rpm and 490 HP @ 5,300 rpm.030" over 440, 850 Mighty Demon, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Crane Gold Race 1.6 rockers, Comp XE285HL cam, 8.9:1 compression, ported 346 factory iron heads with stock 2.08/1.74 valves.RPM.........TQ/HP3000.......440/2513100.......441/2603200.......452/2753300.......471/2963400.......493/3193500.......489/3263600.......496/3403700.......498/3513800.......494/3583900.......486/3614000.......474/3614100.......476/3714200.......487/3824300.......479/3934400.......486/4074500.......484/4134600.......477/4184800.......469/4284900.......484/4515000.......478/4555100.......484/4705200.......487/4825300.......486/4905400.......471/4845500.......455/4775600.......456/4845700.......447/485Pretty decent torque curve.
2,700 rpm spread, less than 50 LBS deviation.... not to shabby!! makes me wonder what might happen if you put 2.14" intake valves in it, and advanced the cam another 8 degrees? and maybe tried a predator carb too. interesting!!
Nice numbers Jim.
Okay, she's cooling off for tear down to work on the 346 cylinder heads. The last of two pulls this morning gave us 496 LB-FT @ 3800 RPM and 495 HP @ 5400 RPM.
I'm wishing we had a bigger cam in this thing right now. This afternoon Cody pushed the 346 heads to 280+ cfm @ .600" lift and 290+ cfm @ .700", and still with the stock 2.08/1.74 valves. Well, we'll bolt these back on and see what happens. There are boxes with bigger valves around here some place!
dond1965:2,700 rpm spread, less than 50 LBS deviation.... not to shabby!! makes me wonder what might happen if you put 2.14" intake valves in it, and advanced the cam another 8 degrees? and maybe tried a predator carb too. interesting!!A Predator huh? Well there are Dominators, roller cams and bigger valves on the shelf. We'll see, we'll see.
Made a change in the heads. Installed 1.81 exhaust valves and increased the exhaust flows.Lift......1.74 valve....1.81 valve.100........59............60.200.......114...........125.300.......158...........176.400.......194...........211.500.......211...........232.600.......224...........248.700.......234...........257We've been curious how changing the exhaust flow only would effect the horsepower and we'll know later this morning.
(1) Took the heads off and re-did the intake some, while retaining the stock intake and exhaust valves.(2) Took off the RPM intake and replaced it with a M1 single plane and a 2" carb spacer.(3) Put the RPM intake back on and replaced the 1.74 exhaust with with 1.81RPM......(1) TQ/HP.........(2) TQ/HP..........(3) TQ/HP3100.......444/262...........439/259.............436/2573300.......478/300...........467/294.............468/2943500.......496/330...........488/325.............493/3283700.......500/352...........502/353.............499/3513900.......486/361...........490/364.............510/3794100.......482/376...........487/380.............507/3964300.......485/397...........494/404.............498/4084500.......484/415...........514/441.............491/4204700.......476/426...........509/456.............483/4324900.......485/452...........512/478.............485/4525100.......478/464...........502/488.............493/4785300.......486/490...........510/515.............486/4915400.......485/498...........505/519.............494/5075500.......474/496...........495/519.............493/5175600.......437/466...........480/511.............484/516
So latest results with the 346 heads having 2.19/1.81 valves. 522 lb-ft of torque and 540 hp.
Still running the 346 heads but installed and old 72R Racer Brown Straddle Roller ground in 1967. 528 TQ & 590 HP so far.
its informative to the general pubic to show how increasing the exh flow too much will hurt power output.Thats why there is so much importance in a balanced int/exh system, starting with the heads.thanks for sharing this valuable info with everyone.
Is there a mislabeling?

Mississippi duck hunting days remained warm for the third week of the season. The number of groups hunting was down, but the quality of the Delta duck hunts was good for most of the groups who ventured out. The Middle Georgia Quack Smackers had several solid hunts in the Bear Creek Bottom area bagging mallards, gadwall and woodies. The Waterfowl Widowmakers experienced a fast and furious hunt on Saturday with their species limit of woodies (at 12) in 10 minutes and then finished off the daily bag with a mallard and 3 gadwall. Garrett said that they couldn't keep shells in their guns. Outlying brakes are the preference of the Ole Miss Football Group, and they got a Burrell Bayou hole christened for the season on Saturday and Sunday bagging a variety of species (gadwall, mallards, northern shovelers, teal and wood ducks). The cold weather this week is a welcome addition to go along with the rainfall from last week. Still hoping for an early duck migration in 2012. To date the duck hunting in Mississippi for our groups has resulted in a species breakdown in the bag of 12% gadwall, 7% mallards, 42% northern shovelers, 1% redheads, 4% scaup, 3% specks, 25% teal, 3% wood ducks and 3% other. The ducks taken at this point in the season exceeds the 10-11 to-date total of 939 and 11-12 to-date total of 1,188.
The third week's duck harvest was 314, bringing the total number of ducks harvested this season to 1,201.

I hope she's okay and all, but he claims that he called the police to report her missing and she had ALREADY called the police to say she was okay. IANAL, but does that clear them legally if/when it's found out to be a hoax, since no police report was filed falsely? I mean, who calls the police to tell them they are okay and not to worry? I thought their WH party crashing was ballsy and I even smiled at that stunt, but since then they are just garbage.
