Melania Trump Denies Breaking Immigration Laws
Melania Trump, the wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, denied on Thursday that she had ever broken immigration laws, in response to a Politico report that calls into question whether she committed visa fraud and worked without authorization during her early visits to the U.S.
Trump is now a U.S. citizen, but her husband's virulent opposition to undocumented immigrants and foreign workers makes her own immigration history particularly of interest. And as Politico noted in a piece that's worth reading in full, there are a lot of questions about when she came to the U.S. and how.
Among them: What type of visas did she use to come to the U.S. in the 1990s? Did her visas authorize her to work as a model? If so, why has she repeatedly described going through a process more typical of short-term visas that wouldn't allow her to work? If she came to the U.S. in 1996, as she has said, why are there photos of her here that were reportedly shot in 1995?
The Trump campaign, and now Melania Trump herself, did not really answer those questions.
Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told Politico that "Melania followed all applicable laws and is now a proud citizen of the United States."
Melania Trump posted a statement of her own on Twitter Thursday, saying "there has been a lot of inaccurate reporting and misinformation concerning my immigration status back in 1996."
"Let me set the record straight: I have at all times been in full compliance with the immigration laws of this country. Period," she continued. "Any allegation to the contrary is simply untrue."
Her reference to 1996 is notable because it implies she first came to the U.S. that year. The New York Post resurfaced nude photos of Melania Trump and published them earlier this week, stating they were shot in 1995 in New York. Politico also cites other evidence she was in the U.S. in 1995.
As Politico notes, Trump previously told Harper's Bazaar and MSNBC that she never stayed in the U.S. "without papers" and would in her early time in the U.S. go back to Europe "every few months" to get her visa stamped.
If she had an H-1B work visa, as has been reported, she would not have been required to return to her native country that frequently. She would have been required to do so under other visas, such as the tourist visa, but a tourist visa does not allow individuals to work in the U.S.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on what types of visas Melania Trump held and whether she was in the U.S. at any point in 1995.
If Melania Trump did misrepresent her past immigration record, it wouldn't be the first inconsistency in her husband's campaign on foreign workers. In spite of Donald Trump's statements in opposition to foreign workers taking American jobs, his businesses have previously and continue to employ guest workers from other countries.
Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims 1.6 billion members of an entire religion from entering the U.S.

Does Australia's Kelpie have a dash of Dingo?
The Australian kelpie is acclaimed as the best all-round stock dog in the world, but the breed's origins have long been shrouded in mystery — now a new book claims to have found some vital answers to its ancestry, including proof of a dash of dingo in its DNA.
Key points: The New book points to dingo DNA from Fraser Island and the mainland in the Australian kelpie Author Bill Robertson said dingo genes came about in late 1870s, when one mated with a collie, the association is more than coincidental.
Renowned for its boundless energy, speed, tenacity and supreme ability to herd and move stock, Australia's most famed working dog owes some of its qualities to Australia's native dog.
The kelpie, proclaimed an official dog breed in 1905, is widely acknowledged to derive from Scottish collies bred at Warrock Station near Casterton in western Victoria in the late 1870s.
Today the breed is found everywhere — from sheep country in the dusty outback to the frozen wastes of the Arctic where it is used to herd reindeer.
Some historians go as far as to say that without the kelpie, sheep flocks could never have inhabited vast tracts of Australia's harsh inland and the nation's ride to prosperity through wool might never have happened.
Former champion shearer Bill Robertson claims to have uncovered the real story behind the origins of the working dog.
It has long been rumoured that the original kelpies were developed by interbreeding Scottish collies with the dingo.

A gorgeous shot, made me smile and I needed that today, thank you!
Of course you can Miriam. What brilliant dogs they are.
You're most welcome. They are indeed!
Terrific and very hard working dogs. Great.


Josiah, here. For those of you unfamiliar with the term 'gut check,' it's a phrase signifying a time for courage or doggedness. It says now is the moment and asks whether you'll step up or not. I've heard it most often in sports - 10 seconds left, the ball is in your hands… gut check. Can you handle it?
It's the first week of February and this is New Year's Resolution gut check time. The buzz of January has faded. That treadmill that looked so shiny and new has a little wear and tear on it. The foods you swore to stay away from are looking pretty tempting (or the ones you swore you'd eat are starting to taste stale…). The things you said you'd do once a month… well you either did them or didn't. If you let up now, your friends might have a few jokes at your expense - but by the end of the year all would be forgotten and you'd be the same as you started the year, probably making the same resolutions. Now's your chance. In or out? Gut check.
Whew. A tough one right out of the gate. This is a phenomenally hard thing resolution for me. In fact it was a resolution for 2014 as well and I've improved a touch. I do it somedays but others… not so much. For whatever reason flossing takes a lot of oomph and I so rarely have it at the end of the day.
Brett McKay, from artofmanliness.com talks about willpower being a finite thing. Something that you use as the day goes on and gets depleted the more you you use it. But like a muscle the more you use it the stronger you get. Since I've been trying to floss at the end of the day, maybe my willpower has been used on the other things I've been doing. And so my solution to this flossing problem is to try it in the morning. Which is what I'm going to do.
Grade: C, but I'm gonna bump it up to a C+ for coming up with a plan.
Grade: B+ with a chance for improvement.
Lionel says you can do better!
This one was kind of a gimme for me since I love to read and it's only been a month. Picking the books has been harder than actually reading them and I've read two books already in one month. But just to say something about picking easy habits, BJ Fogg of TinyHabits says that an easy habit is a great place to start. It's the act of doing that makes a habit - it doesn't have to be difficult. Once it's formed in your day as a habit, you can increase the difficulty.
Grade: A, but one of those easy A's like taking Bowling as an elective your senior year of college. No, you know what, Bowling is just as important as Chemistry or Calculus or… ok, I'll stop.
Well… I'm writing this article, that's nice, yes? That's something. I actually made that resolution hoping for the writing to be creative writing. Which I've found is very difficult. What's been so troubling about this particular resolution is I've had to learn how to block off an hour of time in our increasingly distracting world. It can be difficult to block off an hour a day when the temptations of Netflix or YouTube are just around the corner. I've found that I'm most productive earlier in the day (willpower!), when I'm in a public place, and am writing in a booklet as opposed to my computer. The public place helps me focus and using a pen and paper keeps me from deleting - the biggest temptation on a computer. Deleting is editing. Writing is creating. It's been a bumpy start but I think I'm finding my groove.
Grade: B with hopes for a plus later in the year.
I'll keep examining my resolutions as the year goes by. Let us know how you're doing on yours!


We're three episodes in on Legacies, and my only complaint is we have to wait weekly for new episodes. I'm falling in love with the characters more and more each week, and I can't wait to see where the storyline is going, and what monsters await us.
We may have been teased that the twins and Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) don't get along but I think Hope will be friends with Josie (Kaylee Bryant). Every time they take a step forward they do take two steps back, but I am optimistic about their relationship. Whenever jealousy of Hope spending too much time with Alaric (Matthew Davis) doesn't get in the way, they actually have a good shot at being friends.
Josie doesn't know Alaric as well as we do, but Alaric would have saved any of the students in the school the way he did Hope, especially seeing as he knew he wouldn't be killed. Ever since the twins were born he hasn't been the type of man to take risks, so you know when he did that, he knew what he was doing.
I like seeing a mixture of the Alaric we know and love from The Vampire Diaries, but also seeing the father he has become, and the headmaster he has become. He was born for these two roles. He's a lot less bitter than when he was training Elena, too. Of course, now it's different because he's teaching supernatural creatures to use their abilities for good, and not teaching a human how to protect themselves.
MG (Quincy Fouse) is still my favorite character. He's such a good guy. I definitely can't wait to see the writers expand more on his character. I can't wait until he's the one fighting the monster of the week.
My other favorite character is Josie. I like how caring she is. I also like that she's trying with Hope. I like that Hope and Josie keep doing spells they aren't supposed to do. While yes this is wrong, it's a great way for them to bond. And seeing them take down the gargoyle together was great. I can totally see them as a powerful team. I also just think they have great chemistry together. I hope Julie Plec writes to that.
If you were a TVD fan or a fan of The Originals, how long were you betting it would take for Rafael (Peyton 'Alex' Smith) and Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) to get noticed? It's lucky Alaric had Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) track them, or they could have ended up dead. Wish we could have seen more of Jeremy, but I will take the little cameo.
I really like the relationship that Rafael and Landon have, but I also like that it's being tested. Landon keeps trying to protect his friend and it's backfiring. There's so much depth to this relationship and we'll just have to wait and see how their relationship is tested, now that they're back at the school.
I don't think Hope was expecting Landon to come back, or at least it was bad timing. She was crushed when she saw him. I guess because she made inroads with Josie and then she was on the outs again, then walks in Landon and those feelings come rushing back. And she still has those trust issues.
There are so many characters and so many dynamics that we have yet to learn. It's exciting that we are in the world we know and love, but it's fresh and a lot of great new people to get to know.


Are you in fear of persecution in your home country because of your race, religion or membership in a social group? Do you fear future persecution in your home country because of your political views or membership in a particular social group?
If you've answered "Yes" to either question above, you may be able to seek political asylum in the United States. Every year, people come to the U.S. to escape present or future persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or their political opinion. In 1981, the U.S. passed the Refugee Act enabling the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to grant political asylum or refugee status to those who fear persecution in their home country. According to a New York Times article (J. Preston, 9/30/10), the U.S. granted asylum in more than 22,000 cases in 2009. However, in 2015, the EOIR granted 8,246 asylums.
If you are still in your home country, and the above applies to you, you may be able to get refugee status, instead of asylee status. In other words, a "refugee" is a person who is living outside the U.S. and intends to enter the U.S. because he or she fears persecution in his or her home country, due to the above-mentioned grounds. Those eligible for political asylum or refugee status can become lawful permanent residents after the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Immigration Judge approves their cases.
Individuals of any nationality must request political asylum at a U.S. port of entry (airport, seaport, or border crossing), or file for it within one (1) year of arriving in the U.S.. You will not be eligible for asylum if you participated in the persecution of others or if you have "firmly resettled" in another country. If you entered the U.S. on a valid visa, the time you spent in the U.S. with that visa does not count as part of the one (1) year period.


some buffs for Hipper,Gneisenau,Bismarck,Mogami,Myoko,Yorck,Nagato,Nurnberg,Konigsberg,Furutaka,Aoaba,Konig,Bayern,Sharnhorst,and finally but not least FDG.
shells should richochet..and bounce off..
Why do those ships need buffs? Also rain wouldnt negate the ability of shells to start fires. I suppose you could make the case it might lower the time to put it out perhaps during cyclones.
Still doesn't change the fact that ships caught fire in squalls.
Why do these ships need buffs? Bismarck and Scharnhorst especially do not need any buffs.
Again...why? Why should shells...ricochet? Off of what? At what angle? From what gun?
Ok...So what is the seventh upgrade slot? What is the price of these new upgrades? What do these new upgrades do? What ships will use what upgrades? The number of upgrades for ship tiers is fine.
So... buff the ships you play?
1. You are aware that there are several substances, that can be found on a warship like, oh, illumination shells if I recall that use magnesium) and oil and more that even water will not extinguish - also - just no, even if fire itself needs some work.
2. I can't really speak to IJN cruisers or Hipper, but the German BB's buffed are you mental? Other than I have some crap luck, namely in the tech tree ships, especially on my A-game I've wrecked Iowa's with my Scharn. If I could get some better/less passive teams and keep my aggression more in check, I'd be set and I'm maybe average at this game.
4. Maybe certain ships but otherwise no.
Only the Nurnberg ( which is just utter trash) and Yorck get close to needing buffs here.
yes...this...on all ships...why do they keep damaging me?
I have just recently (Brit CLs) discovered that the Yorck is particularly vulnerable to citting but didn't have that issue while running it myself(finished before Brit CLs)...& I find the Nurn to be OP myself...insane ROF/tier...but that may just be me...IDK.
Now the Myoko...that glassy POS was the most excruciating grind in the game for me (excluding RU DDs...I'm overwhelmed w/just the idea of confronting the grind of the Minsk to elite status...2-100k grinds w/4km torps in a DD...whimper...Stalenium & Russian bias goes out the window on that 1. BTW...I don't free XP any ships...grind them all...even the mods...but back to the Myoko)...& the rear firing only torps have gotten me sunk numerous times in IJN cruisers in general but the glassiness of the Myoko meant instant back to port every time.
IJN line made up for it w/the Mogami though...fire breathing madness there...& Ibuki so far is better than I thought it would be also.
Edit: Sorry...can't praise the IJN line w/out mentioning the Kuma...even w/all the new fangled options of all the new ship lines the Kuma is just plain fun...unfortunately don't run it much anymore though as it seem a bit clubbish to drop down to T4...only for T4able Challenges/Missions that I need to grind out at last minute because I couldn't get to them earlier...never fails to complete them no matter how far behind I start.


Over the last months, we have been busy writing a new book: Advanced Swift. We will release chapters one-by-one, and the first chapter on Strings is already available for those that order the early access version now. During the next months, we will keep releasing chapters, and we aim to finish the book when Swift 2 is public. The book is written by Airspeed Velocity and Chris Eidhof.
Swift is a great language for systems programming, but also lends itself for very high-level programming. We'll explore both high-level topics (for example, programming with generics and protocols), as well as low-level topics (for example, wrapping a C library and string internals). Furthermore, we'll talk about error handling, functions, mutability and memory management, collections, and many more topics.
When you get the early access edition, it means you will not only get the book (as the chapters get released), but also get access to a private GitHub repository where you can comment on the Markdown files and open issues. This allows for a unique opportunity to shape the book.


The study group on Bowen Theory and Mindfulness is intended for individuals who already have knowledge of Bowen Theory, meditation and mindfulness and seek to further their independent studies of these topics.
While each member of the study group is on a self-directed learning path; the common theme in this study group is to understand how Bowen theory, science, and meditation and/or mindfulness practices (eastern and/or western) intersect, i.e., how they are similar, different and/or synergistic. The study group is for people interested in working on such ideas, and who would benefit from presenting their ideas and listening to the ideas of others.
At Bowen Theory and Mindfulness, the 2016 Center for Family Consultation (CFC) Summer Conference, six practitioners of Bowen Theory presented on commonalities and differences in these two bodies of knowledge, including the Bowen theory concepts of differentiation of self, and its core principle of chronic anxiety. The Summer Conference grew out of a CFC study group that began in 2014 and stimulated a thoughtful discussion among presenters, CFC faculty and the audience members. Continuing in 2017, and accepting new members, the study group expanded its general purpose "to examine mindfulness and meditation theory and practices through the lenses of Bowen Theory and science, including the applicable neuroscience". Meeting via online video-conference, the study group provides a forum for development, presentation, and discussion of individual study projects for professional use.
In 2018, the members plan to continue working on their projects and open membership in the study group to include others who may be interested in looking at mindfulness and meditation through the lens of Bowen theory and science. In addition, this coming year CFC will invite guest speakers from the Bowen Network who are interested in this work to address the group during some of the meetings.
To develop scholarly work that explores mindfulness and meditation through the lenses of Bowen theory and objective science.
The group will be a forum for those with a keen interest in the theory and practice of Bowen theory, mindfulness and meditation, including their relationship to neuroscience.
Members will explore parallels and distinctions among Bowen theory, mindfulness, and meditation theory and practice.
Each member will work toward defining a scholarly project for professional use or presentation in some format and forum. "Scholarly" work is defined as literature review, presentation and refining of ideas, writing, research, and the like.
Members will develop definitions of key terms from Bowen theory, mindfulness and meditation for themselves.
The meetings will not emphasize working towards consensus between members.
The study group will meet six times in 2018 via video conference on Fridays from 2-4pm Central Time: February 16th, March 16th, April 27th, September 28th, October 26th, and November 30th.
CFC will provide video technology to support the scheduled study group meetings via the internet using the Zoom.us application. Participants must have their own computer or mobile device with a camera to access the video conference.
CFC will host a shared Google drive folder to allow participants to share copies of their presentations, notes, ideas, articles, etc., and to provide a space for sign-up sheets that participants can use to schedule time to present their work at study group meetings.
Each participant is expected to present his work to the group at least once during the year. Presenters have 20 minutes to report on their project, followed by a facilitated discussion among the members. Presenters may offer pre-reading assignments prior to their presentation.
Please contact the CFC program coordinators Lisa Moss or Leslie Fox.

London Retail Price Inflation Falls the Most Over the Past 12 Months
Economics / Inflation Jun 07, 2009 - 08:21 PM GMT
By: HBOS
London experienced the largest decline in retail prices1 over the past year with a 2.8% fall between 2008 quarter one and 2009 quarter one, according to new research by Halifax. This was more than twice the 1.3%* fall for the UK as a whole. However, despite this, the overall price level in the capital remains higher than any other UK region. All 12 UK regions recorded a decline in retail prices over the past 12 months.
Mortgage interest payments have placed the greatest downward pressure on retail prices over the past year, falling by an average of 39%. The capital's average inflation rate dropped by more than elsewhere between 2008 Q1 and 2009 Q1 largely because mortgage interest payments account for a greater proportion of a Londoner's total weekly expenditure (12%) than in any other region (UK average of 9%).
Additionally, if mortgage interest payments had been excluded from the Halifax measure of regional inflation then retail prices in the capital would have increased by 5.4% over the past 12 months.
Suren Thiru, Halifax economist, said: "All UK regions have seen their retail price inflation rate turn negative over the past year, driven by mortgage interest payments that fell, on average, by more than a third. Those living in the capital have benefited most from the significant drop in mortgage interest payments, resulting in a bigger overall fall in retail prices in London than anywhere else in the UK."
However, although prices have fallen most in London, the general price level in the capital is still the highest in the UK."
Regional Inflation
The South West recorded the smallest fall in retail prices over the past year
East of England (-1.8%) and the West Midlands (-1.5%) recorded the next largest declines in retail prices after the capital. At the other end of the scale, the South West (-0.3%) experienced the smallest fall. However, the sizeable differences in retail price movements between UK regions over the year to 2009 Q1 narrow significantly if mortgage interest payments are removed.
London also sees the biggest change in its annual inflation rate
Over the past year, London experienced the largest change in its annual inflation rate. The capital's annual rate of -2.8% in 2009 Q1 was 8.9 percentage points lower than the 6.1% recorded in 2008 Q1. The East of England (-7.5 percentage points) recorded the second biggest change over the period, followed by the West Midlands (-7.2 percentage points). The smallest change was in Northern Ireland; down 5.6 percentage points from 5.2% to -0.4%.
Mortgage payments account for the smallest proportion of spending in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, mortgage interest payments account for just 7% of the average household's weekly spend; less than in elsewhere in the UK. Largely as a result, Northern Ireland experienced the biggest fall in its annual inflation rate and the second smallest drop in retail prices (-0.4%) over the last year.
Little difference between regional inflation rates over the past decade
Although there have been sizeable variations in retail price movements between UK regions over the year to 2009 Q1, the variation over the longer term has been much smaller with differences between the regional inflation rates tending to level out.
The South West recorded the largest rise in retail prices over the past decade
Between 1999 Q1 and 2009 Q1, the South West saw the largest rise in retail prices over the decade (41.4%), followed by the South East (40.6%). Northern Ireland (36.3%) experienced the smallest increase in retail prices, just 5 percentage points lower than in the South West. The UK average over the period was 38.7%.
Inflation and spending by category
Clothing prices also down
Clothing and footwear was the only major spending category besides mortgage payments to record a price decrease over the past year (-6%). The largest proportion of weekly expenditure on clothing and footwear is in Northern Ireland (8.2%) followed by the North East (6.6%). In contrast, those living in the South East (4.7%) use the smallest proportion of their weekly spending on such goods.
Food and drink inflation remains high
Food and non-alcoholic drink recorded the sharpest rise in prices among typical UK household's between 2008 Q1 and 2009 Q1, with a 10% increase. This spending category takes up the biggest proportion of weekly expenditure in Northern Ireland (13.2%), followed by the West and East Midlands (both 12.6%). At the other end of the scale, food and drink accounts for the smallest proportion of weekly spending in London (10.5%).
Education costs3 see the sharpest increase over the past decade
Over the past decade, education saw the sharpest price increase, rising by 107%, followed by council tax (81%). Londoners use the highest proportion of their weekly expenditure on education (3.2%), while education takes up the smallest proportion of weekly expenditure in Scotland and the East Midlands (both 0.9%). At the other end of the scale, clothing and footwear (-26%) and communication (-13%) both saw a decline in prices over the period.

I'm really glad everyone got to meet Wendy, Susan and Sandra at the March meeting. Sometimes, ARDs visit a whole year before they take office but not this time! Wendy will become official first, on 4/4. Normally, I'd be saying "let's bid Linda B a fond farewell" but as Seminar Chairman for Chicago 2021, she's definitely not going anywhere. Same goes for Marietta and Shawn. These ladies give freely of their time and talents and I do want to recognize their dedication to EGA. Without people like you, EGA would be in a world of hurt as they say in my neck of the woods. Thank you all for the hours of work you have given and continue to give to EGA.

Hockey give early indication of squad for Delhi
England Hockey today announced a 17-strong men's squad to contest this year's Hero Honda FIH World Cup, giving an early indication of who could feature for England at the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games.
The World Cup, which gets underway at the end of next month, also takes place in Delhi and is the test event for the Commonwealth Games. The squad, announced today by head coach Jason Lee, includes midfielder Ashley Jackson, who was named International Hockey Federation Young Player of the Year for 2009.
It also features eight members of the England squad that just missed out on the medals, finishing fourth, at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006 – Richard Alexander, Jonty Clarke, Matt Daly, James Fair, Ben Hawes, Glenn Kirkham, Barry Middleton and Rob Moore.
Two further members of the 2006 Commonwealth Games squad – Simon Mantell and James Tindall – are battling it out for one remaining place in the World Cup squad. They are currently undergoing treatment after they both broke a foot. Lee is keen to include one of the players in his squad as long as they can prove their fitness in time for the tournament.
The squad for the World Cup is largely unchanged from that which won the EuroHockey Nations Championships in August 2009, with 20-year-old Nick Catlin the only addition to the group after impressive performances for England at under-21 level and in his senior debut in the ABN AMRO Champions Trophy in Melbourne in December.
Forward Matt Daly has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the Champions Trophy, while experienced defender Ben Hawes returns to the squad after missing the Champions Trophy as Lee offered the development opportunity to his youngest players.
The England World Cup squad is: Richard Alexander (Surbiton), Alastair Brogdon (Bowdon), Nick Brothers (Reading), Nick Catlin (Loughborough Students), Jonty Clarke (Reading), Matt Daly (Surbiton), Adam Dixon (Beeston), James Fair (Cannock), Ben Hawes (Surbiton), Ashley Jackson (HGC), Glenn Kirkham (East Grinstead), Iain Mackay (Reading), Richard Mantell (Reading), Barry Middleton (HGC), Rob Moore (Surbiton), Richard Smith (Loughborough Students), Alastair Wilson (Beeston). And one of the following, depending on fitness: Simon Mantell (Reading), James Tindall (Surbiton).
The 2010 World Cup gets underway on Sunday 28 February and reaches its climax with the gold medal match on Saturday 13 March.
England, ranked sixth in the world, play in Pool B, a group that also includes the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games gold and silver medallists – Australia and Pakistan. They open their account against Australia, ranked number two in the world on Sunday 28 February.
They play South Africa (ranked 13th) two days later before facing Pakistan (seventh) on Thursday 4 March and hosts India (12th) on Saturday 6 March. Spain (third) round off England's Pool fixtures on Monday 8 March.
England Hockey Performance Director David Faulkner will be hockey team manager for the Commonwealth Games and will use the World Cup to test systems at the venue.
Hockey is one of 17 sports to feature on the programme for the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games. Ten men's and 10 women's teams will feature in the Commonwealth Games hockey competition, which runs from 4 to 14 October.
Hockey made its Commonwealth Games debut in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1998 and England teams have won medals at each of the three Games to feature the sport – although they have never struck gold.
England's women won silver and the men won bronze in 1998 and the women won silver again four years later in Manchester. The women won bronze in Melbourne four years ago, when England's men finished fourth, losing the bronze medal match 2-0 to Malaysia.
The 2010 Commonwealth Games take place in Delhi, India, from 3 to 14 October 2010. They will feature 17 sports - archery, aquatics (swimming, synchronised swimming & diving), athletics, badminton, boxing, cycling, gymnastics, hockey, lawn bowls, netball, rugby 7s, shooting, squash, table tennis, tennis, weightlifting and wrestling. With the 2012 Olympic Games in London and the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Commonwealth Games England is entering a breath-taking four years of sport.
Commonwealth Games England (GCE) is the organisation responsible for selecting and organising England's team at the Commonwealth Games. Team England finished second to Australia on the medal table at the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games with 36 golds, 40 silvers and 34 bronzes.
Sport England is a major funder of Team England and its aim is to encourage more people of all ages to start, stay and succeed in sport at every level and to make England the most active and successful sporting nation.

Sarah-Jane Perry seeking proactive approach to new Birmingham 2022 and squash leadership roles
Gowling WLG announces sponsorship of Team England


In a prior website posting dated December 15, 2008, Summit Accommodators, Inc. ("SAI") reported it was experiencing significant financial issues, had ceased funding open exchanges, and had curtailed its daily operations until those issues could be addressed. This letter will provide you with updated information and report the actions SAI has taken to address and resolve its financial issues.
SAI currently has approximately $ 27,831,363.00 in open exchanges for customers of Summit 1031 Exchange ("Summit Customers"). However, the total cash in SAI's exchange funds related accounts is $ 13,600,212.88, which is a cash shortfall of approximately $14,231,151.00. Although SAI has other assets that it hopes will be sufficient to pay all Summit Customers, those assets are unfortunately illiquid at this time and not immediately available to fund open exchanges.
1) SAI filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon, Case No. 08-37031-rld11. All of SAI's assets, including the exchange funds, will be preserved intact pending decisions to be made by the Court. SAI's Chapter 11 bankruptcy attorneys are Susan S. Ford and Thomas W. Stilley at Sussman Shank LLP, located in Portland, Oregon. Summit Customers are listed as creditors in the case and are entitled to appear, be heard and file claims with the Court. You will receive further notices regarding SAI's Bankruptcy Case in the mail. Should you desire or require bankruptcy advice to protect your rights, you should contact a qualified attorney to assist you with this process.
2) SAI has replaced its existing management to provide transparency, independent decision-making and control. Tyrell B. Vance LLC, ("Vance") has been retained as SAI's Chief Restructuring Officer ("CRO") for all purposes in the Chapter 11 case. Vance is a recognized business crisis manager and court receiver in multiple jurisdictions with over 30 years of such experience. Effective immediately, Vance has been given independent authority to investigate all transactions and to manage SAI and all of its assets for the exclusive benefit of SAI and its creditors, specifically including all Summit Customers, until all debts are paid in full or all assets have been appropriately liquidated and paid to creditors, subject to the direction of the United States Bankruptcy Court. Vance will take possession of and preserve all exchange fund accounts maintained by SAI for Summit Customers. Vance will further assume control of SAI and all of its assets, books and records, and will have the power as CRO to propose a plan for SAI to pay creditors, to bring claims against third parties, and to do all other acts as may be necessary in the interests of SAI and its creditors or as ordered by the Court.
3) Vance as CRO of the Company has retained Obsidian Finance Group, LLC ("Obsidian") as financial consultants to provide advice with respect to all tax issues affecting Summit Customers and a plan to mitigate damages to the maximum extent possible of currently unfunded exchanges. In addition, Obsidian has been retained to review substantial real estate investments and recommend the best method to realize the value of such investments to satisfy claims. Obsidian is a national financial consulting firm, which specializes in distressed enterprises and assets.
This situation resulted from loans of exchange funds made by SAI over a period of time ending in approximately the year 2006 to Inland Capital Corporation ("Inland"), which in turn loaned funds to various entities and individuals that were involved in real estate investments located primarily in central Oregon. Inland is owned by the same persons who own SAI. The members of the entities and the individuals to whom Inland made loans are in most cases one or more of the owners of SAI.
Although liquidity was not an issue for many years and much of the outstanding loan balance from Inland to SAI was repaid, the recent crisis and downturn in the formerly profitable real estate market caused the entities and individuals who owe Inland to be unable to repay loans in a timely manner, which in turn caused Inland to be unable to repay SAI. The current amount owing from Inland to SAI is approximately $13,706,557.21. The existing real estate investments will be made available to repay the loan balance and satisfy claims, in addition to any and all other available assets and resources of SAI. However, it will unfortunately take time to determine, realize and reduce the value of such assets to cash to pay Summit Customers and creditors. SAI is hopeful that its assets will be sufficient to satisfy all customers' and creditors' claims, and is committed to doing so under the independent direction and control of Vance, as CRO, and the United States Bankruptcy Court.
SAI deeply regrets the distress and detriment that Summit Customers are currently experiencing. The foregoing actions have been voluntarily taken by the existing management to assure Summit Customers that SAI is committed to complete transparency regarding these issues, to ensure that all of its actions will be exclusively for the benefit of Summit Customers and creditors, and to eliminate any uncertainty that SAI's assets will be preserved.

Raanta makes 26 saves for 1st shutout, Saad scores as Blackhawks beat Kings 1-0
CHICAGO - The Chicago Blackhawks lost No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford to a lower-body injury three weeks ago, forcing the Stanley Cup champions to hand the net over to an untested rookie from Finland.
The Blackhawks had no idea what they had in Antti Raanta. They hoped for the best, and they got it.
Raanta made 26 saves in his first NHL shutout, Brandon Saad scored in the first period, and Chicago beat Los Angeles 1-0 on Monday night, sending the Kings to their first three-game losing streak in nearly a year.
"There was only one goal for us, so I knew if we wanted to win the game, I had to stop all the pucks," Raanta said. "I thought about it maybe the last two or three minutes."
With Crawford nearing a return, Raanta improved to 10-1-3 while bouncing back from one of his worst performances. He allowed two late goals in Chicago's 6-5 shootout loss at St. Louis on Saturday.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville was non-committal when asked about the team's goalies after Crawford returns. But it is hard to imagine Raanta returning to the minors after the impressive start to this NHL career.
"It's a nice situation," Quenneville said. "He really, really helped solidify something that looked a little bit concerning at that time."
Saad scored his sixth goal in his last 11 games. Chicago, which leads the NHL with 158 goals, played its lowest-scoring game since a 2-1 shootout win at Dallas on Nov. 29.
Los Angeles' Martin Jones made 29 saves in his second straight loss after beginning his career with eight consecutive wins, tying the NHL record.
The Kings, who have yielded a league-low 80 goals, played a tough, physical game after losses to Dallas and Nashville. But they are on their first three-game slide since dropping the opening three games of last season in January.
"We had our chances. They had some chances," Kings centre Mike Richards said. "We just didn't capitalize on our looks at the net."
Chicago forward Patrick Kane had a career-best point streak snapped at 14 games. He had eight goals and 17 assists in the surge.
Last season's Western Conference finalists faced off for the second time this season. The Blackhawks scored three first-period goals, and Raanta made 21 saves in a 3-1 victory over the Kings on Dec. 15.
Raanta lost his shutout chance in that one when Kings defenceman Alec Martinez scored with 3:54 remaining.
This time, he finished the job.
Raanta faced his biggest test in the second period when Dustin Brown made a strong charge to the net. The 24-year-old Finn turned away the rush by the Kings captain, and then stopped him again when he was awarded a penalty shot.
"It's nice to have a great 60 minutes," Raanta said. "Last game in St. Louis, it wasn't so great the last three minutes, so it's nice to bounce back like this."
Anze Kopitar also had a chance in front of Chicago's net with 2 minutes to go, but Raanta was there when the centre tried to stuff the puck into the net.
The Kings had a couple of chances to stop the Blackhawks' scoring chance that produced the only goal.
Bryan Bickell's pass to Saad went off the stick of Los Angeles defenceman Matt Greene, and Richards had an opportunity to knock away the puck before Saad flipped it in at 7:05 for his 14th goal.
"It was just a broken play, and their guy was able to pick up the loose puck," Jones said. "I mean that's the difference in the hockey game right there, a broken play like that. The little things make a big difference."
The Blackhawks appeared to have a second goal in the third, but Andrew Shaw's tip-in was waved off because his stick was above his shoulders.
NOTES: Brown's penalty shot was Los Angeles' first this season and the sixth against the Blackhawks. ... Crawford participated in the morning skate, but didn't play. He has missed 10 games. ... Kane is the only NHL player with multiple point streaks of at least 10 games. ... The Kings scratched Martinez and forwards Daniel Carcillo and Matt Frattin. ... The Blackhawks also scratched defencemen Michael Kostka and Sheldon Brookbank. ... The teams will meet once more on Feb. 3 in Los Angeles.

The maximal payment index is x5000, which comes in force in case of the winning combination with Achilles. The gambling feature is not provided by the rules of Achilles slot machine.

As soon as the game in Achilles video slot is started, the gambler gets into surrounding of the heroes of the mythology of Ancient Greece. The following symbols are used in this slot machine: Achilles, Elena, a shield, a Trojan horse, ace, king, queen, jack, ten and nine.
There the main hero – Achilles invested into armor suit, is. By the way, it plays the part of Wild symbol, combinations with which bring the most wanted winning in amount of 10000 coins.

The interface of the exciting Achilles slot machine is designed n style of Ancient Greek mythology. Except of the reels with symbols, which were already described above, there are different buttons and windows at the control panel.

It is quite convenient and user-friendly, so even non-English speaking players can easily study it out.

The most attractive feature of Achilles slot machine is, first of all, the winning table, which helps you to become an owner of the large amounts, which are in large excess over the staked amounts. A possibility to participate in two prize games is another advantage. So, this slot machine is definitely worth of your attention.

We are looking forward for your responses about Achilles video slot. Your opinion is very important for us.

Candidates for Big Sky Player of the Year
The race for the Big Sky Player of the Year is open. Will Cherry was the presumed winner heading into the year... but after missing most of the non-conference slate as well as the end of the conference season, he should not win the award. He is the best player when healthy, but it's hard to overlook the injuries. So that begs the question... who could or should it be?
I have never bought the notion for any sport that a guy has to play on the best team or one of the top teams in order to be a candidate or win an MVP or POY award. If he is the best player, he deserves the award. Let's break down who I see as the six best candidates (in no order):
Kareem Jamar (Montana)
Why he deserves it: When he is on his game, there is nobody like him in the Big Sky. This year he has shot 52.5% on twos and 38% on threes. He gets to the FT line better than almost anyone in the conference (50.0 FT rate). He is also Montana's best rebounder (16.9 DR%), best passer (25.7 ARate), and arguably the best offensive post player in the conference. He also has helped lead them to a 17-1 record even as Montana has dealt with injury issues.
Why he doesn't deserve it: He does a lot of things... but his 13.3 PPG are 14th in the Big Sky during conference play. He also doesn't crack the top ten in rebounds, and is eighth in assists. Sometimes the counting stats get a lot of weight. If they do here, Jamar may come up short.
Derrick Barden (Northern Colorado)
Why he deserves it: He is the best rebounder in the Big Sky, and has gotten better and better as the season has gone on. In conference play he is averaging 14.8 PPG (8th) and 9.9 RPG (1st), while also shooting 57%. He does a lot of his offensive work on offensive rebounds, an area he is very strong. He might be the biggest matchup problem in the Big Sky. Really, he is only 6'3'', but he is the best rebounder in the conference right now. He is also an underrated defender.
Why he doesn't deserve it: He is a good offensive player, but not a great one, and sometimes is more complementary than the main weapon for UNC on that side of the ball. He shoots 66% from the FT line, and is not a great passer.
Davion Berry (Weber State)
Why he deserves it: In conference play he is fifth in scoring at 16.1 PPG, sixth in assists at 3.9 per (fourth in A:TO ratio), and leads the conference shooting 49.3% on threes. He does everything well, and always seems to find a way to contribute. He takes great care of the ball. He is also a really good defender at the three spot, with athleticism and smarts at that position.
Why he doesn't deserve it: He is not as good of a rebounder as some of the other candidates. If you compare him to someone like Jamar, you would say they are both good scorers, but Jamar is a better rebounder and probably a better passer.
Scott Bamforth (Weber State)
Why he deserves it: His ORtg of 126.9 is 17th in the country and first in the Big Sky. He does so much for Weber State he might be one of the more underrated players in the Big Sky. He shoots 44% from threes and 89% on FTs. He is a good passer and takes very good care of the ball. He is also a crafty defender on the outside, an area of his game he doesn't really get a lot of recognition in.
Why he doesn't deserve it: He doesn't score a ton (just over 13 PPG during conference play) which might lose him some votes, since some may see him as a product of a really good Weber State team. While he is a good passer ballhandler, he doesn't get many assists. He might get the perception of being an undersized two guard who is an elite shooter but not great in any other area. Not fair, but that could be how he is labeled.
Troy Huff (North Dakota)
Why he deserves it: During Big Sky play, he is second in the conference in scoring (20.0 PPG) and fifth in rebounds (6.9 per game). On the other side of the ball, he is tied for the lead in steals with 2.4 per game. In some ways he carries the offense (his % of shots is fifth most in the country), and he is battling with Barden for the title of the most athletic guy in the Big Sky. He has a really low TO rate for someone that has the ball as much as he does it. He has also gotten better shooting from the outside.
Why he doesn't deserve it: His counting stats are impressive, but you could argue they are inflated a bit due to the high number of shots he takes. He is only a 68% FT shooter, and doesn't get many assists compared to guys like Jamar and Berry. Also, he missed all of the non-conference slate and the start of the conference season due to injury.
Jackson Stevenett (Southern Utah)
Why he deserves it: He is efficient offensively, shooting 50% on twos and 89% on FTs. He is third in the conference in scoring during Big Sky play at 19.7 per game, and second overall at 17.8. Like others, he takes care of the ball even though he has it a lot. He is one of the best offensive players in the conference.
Why he doesn't deserve it: He is a good, but not great rebounder. He is not a great three-point shooter, and shot just 31% there on 67 attempts. He is only an average defender. After a strong start, SUU has struggled in the second half of conference play.
Also got consideration: Cherry (Montana), Mathias Ward (Montana), Aaron Anderson (North Dakota), Gabe Rogers (Northern Arizona), Venky Jois (Eastern Washington)
If I had to choose right now, I think this would be my top 3:
1. Kareem Jamar
2. Derrick Barden
3. Troy Huff
EDIT: After hearing some arguments, I am willing to concede that I might be criminally underrating Davion Berry, and he should be in the top 3. That is why this is subject to change!
I would really love to hear thoughts on this, since it is such a wide open race! Let me hear them!!
Labels: Eastern Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Southern Utah, Weber State
When do they announce the awards and all-conference honors? Next years Big Sky POY should be a great race too because of Jamar, Barden, Huff, Berry, Jois.
For me it's a two man race between Jamar and Berry. When you consider that no one separates themselves statistically you can only award Berry or Jamar. You mention Berry's rebounding rate but fail to mention that Weber shots the highest percentage in ALL of College basketball. You cant fault him for having the least opportunities. Also confused on the assist comment you said Berry leads Weber in scoring and assist and has the 4th best turnover ratio but you gave Jamar the nod as the better passer?
Jamar has had an amazing year and literally does it all. What he brings to the table is far more valuable than what a player like Huff does.
Huff is one of my favorites to watch but he's a volume scorer on a mediocre
team. He would need to improve his efficiency for my vote. 20pts a game is impressive but he's taking nearly 20 shots to get there.
On the fence about Barden. Impressive stats but like Huff he's on a mediocre team.
Two man race between Berry and Jamar. Its not even close after that.Both are great competitors who does everything for team.I just love that kid Berry's game and would give him the nod 50%fg 45%3ptfg 16ppg 4apg 4rpg.Berryis on his way to possibly being the 2nd NBA R.O.Y in 3yrs to come from Weber St! Go Big Sky Hoops
Jon March 7, 2013 at 10:56 PM
I'm not sure Berry has quite the NBA potential that Lillard does... but after evaluating things since this article was posted, I do agree with you guys that it is a two man race between Berry and Jamar. Both are really suburb.

Today's cosmological models must account for a wealth of high precision observations covering an unprecedentedly wide wavelength range. This Rencontre de Moriond is proposing to focus on the relations between the properties of observed structures (galaxies and clusters) and the underlying dark halo distribution.
How did stars, gas and dark matter assemble and what are the general properties of these components?
How is the interplay between the history of specific star formation rate and the mass halo assembly?
How well can we constrain the mass of structures and how can this mass be used in a cosmological context?
Scientists with interests covering theory, numerical simulations, and observations will be invited to confront their views on the subject. La Thuile is a pleasant winter sports resort located in the Italian Alps, 1450 m alt., about 120 km away from Geneva.
The deadline for abstract submission is 15 January 2006.
The deadline for registration is 15 February 2006.


well I'm starting to get that burnout feeling with the Hanzi again. Well, either that or it's that I did them right after a wheat based meal and that is the real problem. and/or sleep.
I'm gonna try something though because I think the problem is reviews and new mnemonics are both too much of a strain.
Btw, I'll note I'm not using RTH. WHy? Well mainly as a challenge.
So, during reviews I'm gonna skip any Hanzi I can't get really fast, and for reviews If I don't know it in 10seconds I'll suspend. it. Also I could even try to add a new one for each Hanzi I suspend in this way.
As for learning new ones, my pIan is to go through the deck learning all the easy ones first. Skip any of them that I can't easily make a story for. I might even focus on etymology, or what seems like it would be the etymology or could make sense in that way. Those seem to be the best for me in terms of memorizing. The ones that are enjoyable to do.
Then I go back through the deck and the ones that WERE hard will be less hard the second time through because I'll be able to use my knowledge of the already known characters as a stronger base. I'll just keep doing that, making it so I am only ever learning easy Hanzi.
Also I'll add, that peole usually can do rtk/rth and learn them in 2-3 months at 20-25 a day. For me it's been 10/day and taking 30+ minutes. I know it's because I'm not using rth so I'm left having to come up with stories including 4+ elements which rth would avoid.
So I think this new idea will adress that problem because I will skip over any characters that have more that 2 elements, unless I can make sense of them right away.
Also it's actually very interesting that the characters where I make mnemonics using stories about super heros ect, actually make me mad and frusterated (which leads to burn out). Where as the characters where I just make sense of the radicals in some way, lead to satisfaction. I'm going to take this seriously. I feel it has to do with my personality, where I enjoy learning things conceptual logical things, and dislike learning things that have no connection to anything else (and a very strong example of having no connection is stories that I make up just to form a memory but that I have no interest in otherwise).
On the macro level the example would be going to school for electronics and computers which is not something I had much interest in, and it being hard. Then now I'm studying psychology and philosophy ect which is very connected to who I am and what I want, and it being easy.

The ERDEM Autumn Winter 2018 collection is almost here. Be the first to shop new arrivals only available at Erdem.com and in our store, 70 South Audley Street, Mayfair. A collection inspired by dancer Adele Astaire, who left the bright lights of New York's Broadway to begin a new life at Lismore Castle, Ireland.
The shock of leaving behind a starred life for one of rural isolation conjures a sense of romantic bravery. Her clothes are a meeting of these two unlikely worlds: the glamorous, modern fashions of a stage celebrity combined with the heavy country styles of the noble aristocracy.


When you're trying to start something new, your inner dialogue can amplify your self-doubt and you end up quitting before you start. This sort of negative introspection can hamper your productivity. Luckily you can take a second to get out of your head and get stuff done. This post originally appeared on the Crew blog.
This is what happens at least thirty times a day. I'll begin to focus on work and then immediately my internal dialogue will get in the way. The more I have to do, the more unhelpful it seems to be.
For many, our inner dialogue goes beyond just being disruptive. It can totally hamper our creativity and destroy productivity. Thankfully the universe has also provided us with a bunch of ways to combat the internal speech holding us back.
What Exactly is "Internal Speech"?
If you ever made your toys talk as a child or spoke to yourself aloud as you completed a task, that was you developing internal speech. We begin to develop the way we speak to yourselves between the ages of three and five years old. It is only as we grow into adults that we learn to internalise this self talk.
Internal speech gives us psychological autonomy — our ability to self-regulate. Without it we would lack consciousness or self awareness. We would have difficulty tasks that require memorisation. Internal dialogue is with us all day every day, so it matters how we utilise it.
Internal speech is dictated by two areas of the brain. The Broca and Wernicke area, named after the two scientists who discovered them. The Broca's area is responsible for the production of language whereas the Wernicke area controls our understanding of that language.
The problem is not that we have internal speech but rather it's the kind of internal speech our mind chooses to engage in.
When our inner dialogue turns disruptive and unhelpful, this is called a cognitive distortion. A cognitive distortion is when your mind tries to get you to believe in something that isn't necessarily true about yourself or the world around you, like when you fall into a negative feedback loop of "I'm not good at something, therefore I will never be good at it."
Below are some common cognitive distortions with some tips on how best to spot and stop them from happening.
This kind of thinking happens when we see something as black and white. It's when we don't allow for any shades of grey with people or experiences.
What it sounds like: "I didn't do X right, this entire project was a disaster."
This is when we believe that because something bad has happened in the past, it will continue to happen in the future.
What it sounds like: "I didn't do well when I had to speak in public last time, so I shouldn't try that again."
Try this instead: Call yourself out when you are overgeneralising. Ask if it is fair for you to predict how you will perform today's task on one or two past experiences?
Brushing off positive experiences and focusing only on the negative aspects instead.
What it sounds like: "They said they liked my work, but they were probably just trying to be nice because they feel bad for me."
Try this instead: Ask what would make you happy? What would need to happen in order for you to accept something positive? Try not to disagree with people who are giving you a compliment.
This is when you use how you feel as rationalisation for doing or not doing something. Because our emotions are incredibly subjective they can hinder our ability to see things from a realistic perspective.
What it sounds like: "I feel so worthless, so I must be worthless."
Try this instead: As soon as you begin to have these thoughts stop yourself and question your reasoning. Why do you believe you are stupid? Is this grounded in reality? Recruiting the help of a close friend can help you ground your feelings and gain perspective.
This happens when you blame yourself for something that could not possibly be your fault.
What it sounds like: "If only I would have done X, than the whole project would have succeeded."
Try this instead: Identify the feelings that accompany your personalisation. Is it really that you feel responsible for your friend being unhappy, or are you anxious about something else? It can sometimes help to tell yourself, "This is not about you." Refocus your attention on what you can control.
Identify: Bringing awareness to what your internal dialogue is can help you regain control of it. When you say, "Everyone hates me," what thoughts did you have that lead you to this conclusion? Recognising your automatic thoughts is the first step to changing them.
Watch: Be mindful of the words you choose to use. Avoid absolutist and emotionally charged words. Instead of using the word 'hate' try saying 'dislike'. This will help you put things into perspective.
Replace: When your self talk is being harmful or disruptive, challenge it. Turn negative or self-defeatist statements into questions. Instead of saying, "I will never finish this task," ask, "How can I finish this task?" This takes you out of the passive and puts you back into a position of power over your thoughts and actions.
We don't have to put up with this hurtful, unproductive self-talk. By identifying and challenging our own thinking errors we can minimise their impact over time. This will free up the space we need to be more creative.
"I can't even write one concluding sentence. I'm obviously the worst human being who has ever lived."
That thought has no basis in reality. Though it's one I've had many, many times. It's not that I can't actually write a concluding sentence. It's that I fear what I have done is not good enough.
I know I'm not the most reliable person when it comes to what I think about myself and my work. That's why I recruit those close to me to help me challenge my self-talk. I verbalise the thoughts I'm having and work through each step out loud. This usually helps me hear how silly my self-talk sounds, from there I can usually dismiss it or put it aside.
I'm a work in progress but I find that it is getting easier and easier to push back against my self-talk and press on with my work.

Q: Filtering the_content, but still need to display the unfiltered content inside filter I'm working on a plugin that creates and displays Custom Post Types. I'm using ACF for additional fields.
Problem comes when I need to add the actual content into the filter. There's a slideshow in the normal wysiwyg editor that needs to be displayed there. See screengrab.
Is there a way to have the_content be displayed inside a filter that is using the_content?
Or is there a different way of coding this?
Here is my code:
add_filter('the_content', 'fds_the_content');
function fds_the_content( $content ) {

    if (is_singular( 'services' ) && in_the_loop()) {
        ob_start(); ?>

                            <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

                                    <?php the_content(); ?>

                            <?php endwhile; ?>

                            <?php else : ?>

A: First, your filter should return, not echo anything. The content will appear in the wrong place if you echo directly within the function.
The original contents of the_content are passed to the filter function as an argument-
function fds_the_content( $content ) { // <--- original value of the_content
    // append original $content
    $new_content = 'new content' . $content;
    return $new_content;
}

EDIT- echo $content in an output buffer-
function fds_the_content( $content ) {
    ob_start();
    ?>

Some Markup

        <?php echo $content; ?>

    <?php
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_filter('the_content', 'fds_the_content');
