Next time you challenge an established law in jest, would you please say so?
Nov16-09, 02:30 PM
I was entirely serious. Do you have a specific, substantive criticism?
Nov17-09, 07:05 AM
Yes I do. There will indeed be an emf/mmf. If the flux in the core is constant/dc, and you unwind the secondary, there will be a flux change and an emf. However considering that v = -N*d(phi)/dt, the emf is very small. Unwinding the secondary has a frequency in the sub-Hertz range. While unwinding, you are moving a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field. But the motion involves one turn at a sub-Hertz frequency. Further, what is phi? When wrapped around the toroid, phi can be substantial. But when unwrapped, no longer encircling the core, phi is nanoweber, or less.
The fact that the emf is quite small, and requires good equipment to measure, does not invalidate FL. If phi is 10 nwb, f = 0.10 Hz, N = 1.0 turn, then v = 2*pi*1e-8*1e-1*1e0 = 2*pi*1e-9 = 6.28 nV! These are just off the cuff estimations. A real world scenario may vary by an order of magnitude in either direction. But we are looking at nanovolt levels of emf. Extremely small emf, but still present, is what is going on.

You are begging the question. You are attempting to use Faraday's Law to validate Faraday's Law. See, this is the crux of the matter. Faraday's Law implies that a flux change due to motion produces an EMF. This is a false principle. The true principles are motional EMF and transformer EMF (given by the one of Maxwell's Laws which is the same as Faraday's Law except in that it uses the partial derivative). One or the other of these true principles covers every case to which Faraday's Law applies. Both of these true principles give an EMF of zero in the case being considered. The partial derivative of the equation for transformer EMF is zero because there is no intrinsic flux change. There is no motional EMF because the wire moves in a direction which results in its not cutting the magnetic flux lines, aside from the fact that the magnetic field is severely reduced external to the primary winding. Faraday's Law specifies an EMF for this case and is thereby proved false. This case is the opposite of the homopolar generator in that in the case of the homopolar generator Faraday's Law gives an EMF of zero where there actually is one, whereas in this case Faraday's Law gives an EMF where there actually is none.

You say 0, & FL says 0. You say you're right, while FL is wrong. You have no case at all.
As far as my using FL to verify FL, what I'm doing is explaining the action, observing the result, and acknowledging the agreement with FL. All science is based on such methods. We observe, postulate, remeasure, and affirm. It happens that FL agrees with observation, so it is valid. Sure, we made initial assumptions. That in itself does not validate FL, nor invalidate FL. But since observation under all known conditions to date verifies FL, it is considered good law.
Nov18-09, 02:17 PM
Where do you get the idea that FL requires the cutting of magnetic flux lines? It only addresses the time rate of change of flux linkage. In the case we are discussing, the flux linkage starts out as the number of turns of the secondary winding times the flux in the core. It ends up as zero when that winding is fully unwound, so there is certainly a flux change, and therefore FL specifies an EMF. By the way, there is no frequency involved here. If the secondary is unwound at a constant rate, the time rate of flux change will be constant.
Nov18-09, 08:14 PM
This is so well known, I'm amazed you even bring it up. An experiment in the basement will affirm this.
When the winding is undone, there is a velocity, and you must consider the magnitude and direction of the flux. I've given the computations above that v is in nanovolts. Depending on dimensions, it could even approach microvolts. You'd need good equipment to measure, but it's there.
When you and I are long gone, FL wil be standing like Gibraltar.
Nov18-09, 08:48 PM
The "u x B" expression is part of the equation for the Lorentz force, gives the motional EMF, and has nothing to do with Faraday's Law, which is EMF = dPhi/dt and involves the change of flux linkage only. The wire of the circuit does not even have to be in the magnetic field as long as it is linked by it.
Nov19-09, 07:28 AM
When the conductor moves through a static field, the time rate of change seen by said conductor is u X B. Along a flux line gives 0, since the cross product goes to 0 for 0 angle. Across the flux line gives maximum induction. For an oblique angle, the component of motion in the direction normal to B is used for computation of emf.
As far as your statement "The wire of the circuit does not even have to be in the magnetic field as long as it is linked by it." goes, I don't even know where to begin. How can the conductor not be in the field, yet be linked by it? Would you please draw an illustrative diagram? Please clarify your counter-examples to FL. A picture would help immensely. So far you're shooting blanks. Nothing you've stated has a remote chance of invalidating FL.
Just curious, how much e/m field theory have you taken? To challenge an established axiom is quite ambitious for just about anyone. Do you have the academic knowledge sufficient for such an ambitious undertaking? Based on what you've stated thus far, I believe that with your current e/m fields skill set, challenging axioms is too ambitious for you.
Nov19-09, 09:25 AM
When one asks what is the physical principle behind a law, one must determine whether mathematical consequences of the law are most fundamental or if the law itself is most fundamental. For example, Maxwell's equations lead to Einstein's postulate of relativity that the speed of light (laws of physics) is (are) the same for all inertial observers. One might then make the claim that Einstein's postulate is in fact more fundamental than Maxwell's Equations.
When one takes this view, assuming only the postulates of relativity and assuming Electric fields exists due to charged sources, one can easily deduce the appearance of the presence of a force in certain reference frames with properties that exactly match that of the so called "magnetic field". That is, the magnetic force in this view can be regarded as pseudo force directly derivable from more fundamental postulates. (ie, relativity and electric field)
In other words, this means that the behavior of charged particles can be exactly predicted merely by assuming Einstein's postulates in relativity and that charged particles produce an electric field thus removing the necessity of the magnetic field (whereas without Einstein's postulates, the behavior of charges couldn't be explained without the presence of magnetic field).
In order to get back Maxwell's equations, you examine how the equations from the above analysis transform if one were to neglect the postulate of relativity. By doing this it is then possible to derive Maxwell's equations including Faraday's Law.
In this sense, one may then say the physical basis for Faraday's Law is the postulates of relativity.
(Note: Faraday's law did come first, but was purely empirical. It was then able to be used to drive Einstein to think of more fundamental postulates. These fundamental postulates are then the physics behind our empirically observed Faraday's Law)
Nov19-09, 10:20 AM
So in a nutshell, the OP claimed that FL is false. What are you saying? Is FL true or false? Please answer. You gave your treatise but never answered the original question explicitly. Thanks in advance.
Nov19-09, 10:22 AM
Maxwell's equations themselves don't define EMF. EMF is defined as the line integral of the force per unit charge, the line integral done along the line you wish to calculate the EMF across.
EMF = [tex] \epsilon [/tex] = [tex]\int_{a}^{b} (E + [v \times B]).dl [/tex]
In certain cases, it so happens that the above equation simplifies to
[tex] \epsilon = - \frac{d \phi}{dt} [/tex].
In such cases, you will have to revert to the above definition.
Faraday's law is
[tex] \nabla [/tex] x E = [tex] - \frac{\partial B}{\partial t} [/tex]
or in integral form can be written as
[tex] \int E.dl = - \frac{d \phi}{dt} [/tex] (This is only for stationary integral paths)
and is not to be confused with
[tex] \epsilon = - \frac{d \phi}{dt} [/tex]
which does not work all the time. For instance, in your example above, the whole equation is ill-suited.

To Claude:
Just as magnetic fields can be derived from Einstein's postulates and the Electric field, one can also use gravitational fields and Einstein's postulates to derive a psuedo gravitational field that is analogous to the magnetic field in electromagnetism. However this pseudo gravitational force is always regarded as fictitious. One may ask, why is the pseudo gravitational force fictitious but magnetism isn't?
The answer is that magnetism was empirically observed first, and those who observed it thus believed it was real as they had no grounds to claim it was fictitious at the time. Had humans been the size of planets, we would have noticed the pseudo gravitational fields first and called these real and magnetic fields fictitious. Basically you can see that neither the pseudo gravitational force or the pseudo electric force should have any fundamental physical priority over the other.
However, in saying that, these ideas of what forces are derived and what are real is purely a matter of "interpretation", analogous to the various interpretations of quantum mechanics. They are different ways of thinking about theories that lead to the same physical conclusions. For example, one could claim only magnetic forces are real and use Einstein's postulates to derive the electric force. This is what Einstein means when he says that neither can take the "seat".
Physically my intuition prefers to accept that electric forces are real because magnetic forces have no monopoles, where as electric forces do. It is thus easier to think of these monopoles as the sources of the charge, and the magnetic force being pseudo. This is the same situation for gravitational fields.
With regards to the openers question:
The opener believed there was no theoretical/intuitive basis for the existence of Faraday's law. I disagree and a valid physical basis is Einstein's postulates and the electric field. From this basis, Faraday's law can be derived.
This means that since Faraday's law is not itself fundamental (ie, based on the fundamental postulates listed), deviations observed from Faraday's law can be attributed to slight errors in the underlying fundamental postulates. For example, if only general relativity applies to a particular problem, then a new version of Faraday's law may be derivable using Einstein's principle of general relativity as opposed to the special theory. The point being however, is that one may know when Faraday's law is applicable, by seeing if its fundamental basis is also applicable to the situation you wish to model.
Nov19-09, 01:51 PM
Regarding monopoles, many prefer to start with E, and then view H as a relativistic manifestation of E. Their reasoning is along your lines, that monopoles exist for E, but not for H. Although you have the correct viewpoint that either can be the relativistic view of the other, some firmly, and wrongly, insist that E is the seat since H has no monopoles, while E does.
But if we examine FL, the OP original question, there is a marked difference between E fields due to discrete charged particles, i.e. monopoles, vs. E fields due to induction/Faraday. With monopoles, the E lines have a source and a sink (start and end), whereas H fields do not since H is di-polar, not monopolar. H lines are closed loops, or "solenoidal" in nature. Solenoidal flux lines indicates di-pole and NOT monopole since monopoles have a start and an end. Also, discrete charge E fields are conservative, whereas induction/solenoidal E fields are non-conservative.
But the E fields induced per FL are solenoidal in nature. They have no start or end. They look like H loops. Although E monopoles do exist, that is not what happens when E fields are induced due to time-varying H fields. These E lines do not have a monopolar like appearance.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but E lines with start and end points, DO NOT relativistically transform into solenoidal closed loops in a moving reference frame. What is happening here does not involve monopoles. Thus I cannot accept the existance of E monopoles and the non-existance of H monopoles as a basis for treating E as more basic than H. Also, conservative E fields do not transform to non-conservative under relativistic transformations.
We agree that neither is the seat, and we also agree with Einstein, so I think we hold a safe position. Thanks for your input.

Nowhere in his lectures does Feynman question the validity of Faraday's Law.
He merely adressed the issue of scale, which puts limits on the applications of every law.
General Relativity breaks down on a small scale, and quantum mechanics takes over, but neither is more or less "valid". Since we haven't discovered the infamous "Theory of Everything", we have to break physics into separate models with particular jurisdictions.
Nov19-09, 08:41 PM
FL is not related to u x B and says nothing about time-changing flux with respect to a conductor. EMF = - d[tex]\Phi[/tex]/dt is the whole of FL with the only restriction being that it only applies to circuits.
A simple case of a flux linkage without the conductor being in the magnetic field is a magnetic flux confined to a tube threading a circuit without touching the wire of the circuit. Transformer EMF does not even require a circuit, just a closed path. An intrinsically time-varying magnetic field produces an electric field. Any closed path within this electric field which has a magnetic flux linkage will have an EMF.
I do not know at this point how to get a drawing into my reply. I will try to find out later. The homopolar generator is clearly a case of steady state operation. There is no flux change. To a first approximation, the magnetic flux lines are parallel to the plane of the circuit, so there is no flux linkage. FL gives an EMF of zero because of the zero flux change, which is completely wrong.
In the case of the modified toroidal transformer, there is a constant flux in the core. The secondary winding is gradually unwound, obviously eventually eliminating its flux linkage to the core flux. The slip ring and brush combination is just to allow the winding to be unwound without breaking the circuit. There is obviously a change in the flux linkage, and so FL predicts an EMF, which could be substantial if the core flux is big and the unwinding is fast. There is no intrinsic change of flux, so Maxwell's Law for transformer EMF does not apply. For a theoretical example I see no reason not to assume no magnetic field leakage from the core. Therefore there is no motional EMF. Since between them transformer EMF and motional EMF cover all cases, there is no EMF
I have a bachelor of science in engineering degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan. It seems that, unlike others, I actually understand Faraday's Law, and was able to spot the inconsistencies and pure nonsense surrounding it in the textbooks. It seems from your comments that your understanding of the subject is between minimal and nonexistent.
The version of FL we have been discussing cannot be derived.
You are confusing the FL we have been discussing with one of Maxwell's Laws. The version of relevance utilizes the ordinary derivative, not the partial derivative.
When you say that nowhere in his lectures does Feynman question the validity of FL, you are wrong. See these previous posts in this thread: Phrak Oct 11-09, 11:53 PM and my post of Oct 15-09, 08:14 PM.
Nov20-09, 12:31 AM
What I stated above was Faraday's law in differential form; below that I also stated it in integral form.
Nov20-09, 08:07 AM
As far as my understanding of FL being "between minimal and nonexistent", here is my reply. That is a pretty bold statement from someone with a mere BS. I have about a year or less left on the Ph.D. (EE). I worked in the magnetic components design group for 4 years in the 1980's for a fortune 50 company famous for transformers. I used FL on a daily basis. Since then, I've designed some custom transformers for switching power converters.
You don't know as much as you think. At the BS level, one can only accept e/m field teachings on faith. It takes post graduate study and/or working in the field to really digest it. If you "saw its inconsistencies" in undergrad, you are super-human, which I don't believe you are.
My understanding agrees with the peer-reviewed texts and publications. Who are you to say otherwise? I'll try to make time this weekend to compute the equivalence between "N*dphi/dt" & "u X B".

SPOKANE, Wash.— A Spokane County judge approved a mandatory eviction for the Daiquiri Factory in Downtown Spokane. A battle was brewing between the controversial Spokane bar owner and the the landlord on Wednesday.
The Downtown Spokane bar created a stir in February, when it first opened its doors. Protestors stood outside of the bar before it even opened, outraged at what would become the Daiquiri Factory's short-lived drink called 'Date Grape Koolaid.'
Owner Jamie Pendleton eventually changed the name of the drink, but that was not the end to the bar's controversies.
READ: Name of controversial drink 'Date Grape Koolaid' changed
In April, Gonzaga University announced it was suing the bar for using its mascot and logo without permission.
READ: Gonzaga University suing Daiquiri Factory over use of logos
A lawsuit filed in June aimed to close the bar. A Spokane County Superior Court judge approved a request for a mandatory eviction. The judge signed a writ of restitution approving mandatory evacuation of Daiquiri Factory from its building on Wall Street.
According to court documents, the Downtown Spokane building is owned by FPA Crescent Associates.
The Delaware-based property owner of the bar filed a suit against Pendleton for missed rent payments, totaling more than $2,000.
The property manager kept records of every neighbor complaint concerning the Daiquiri Factory, according to court documents. The complaints ranged from loud noises to customers who were reportedly drunk in public, according to court documents.
Pendleton reached out to KREM 2 News through Facebook messages and said his property owner gave him six months of free rent and was breaking the law by revoking that agreement.
Some neighboring business employees said they found Pendleton to be friendly. Others said they did not feel safe with him and his bar in the neighborhood.
Pendleton said he would appeal the decision in court or find a new building to serve drinks in.

If your website is trying to sell a product or service, chances are your site has a few call to action buttons. Optimizing these buttons can have a dramatic impact on the success of your site.
There's two major mistakes that people make with call to action buttons.
The first mistake is, people often neglect to have a call to action button at all. You'll arrive at their marketing site and there won't be anything to click on to move the user forward. Giving the user something to do next is an essential part of marketing a product or service successfully.
For example, if you're selling a piece of entertainment like a movie or a video game, there should be a logical progression of steps. Chances are there will be a large video on the page of a movie trailer or a video game trailer. If people watch that and are excited about what they've seen, they might want to buy movie tickets or pre-order the game. There should be a prominent button close to the video, that allows them to do just that.
The other mistake people make, is that they have too many call to action buttons. It's OK for a page to have multiple goals, such as getting users to sign up for a newsletter, follow you on Twitter, etc. However, if all these buttons look the same as the primary action, like buying a product, it can be very confusing to the user and it will dilute the success of your primary goal.
In last week's episode, we talked about contrast. This is especially applicable to call to action buttons.
Typically when people say contrast, they're talking about a difference in brightness and darkness. However, there are other types of contrast too. You can contrast two elements using different sizes, shapes, colors, and textures. These are all great ways to make your call to action buttons stand out.
For example, on the homepage of Amazon.com, there's quite a bit of clutter, because they're trying to cater to a lot of different customer needs all at once. However, they also want to sell their e-reader device, the Kindle.
In order to contrast the Kindle with the clutter around it, they've done two things.
First, they've added a lot of whitespace, or negative space, around the device. This creates an oasis of calm amidst a very chaotic page. Secondly, they've made the Kindle enormous in comparison to everything else on the page. This contrast of negative space, and contrast of size, is enough to create a focal point on the page and draw a potential buyer's attention.
Once of the most important things to keep in mind when creating a call to action button, is to engage the user with copy. Call to action buttons should revolve around an action.
Usually a call to action button says something like "Sign Up" or "Add to Cart" or "Learn More." The thing that all of these buttons have in common, is that they're all actions. In other words, the copy on your button should always start with a verb. For example, if a button said something like "More about this Product" it's not really asking the user to do anything.
Using the right words on your call to action button can have a dramatic impact. To figure out what the best words are to use, you should run A/B tests. One way to test one design over another is to use the Google Website Optimizer tool, which allows you to autorotate designs and track which ones perform the best. 37Signals used this to great effect on their sign up page for Highrise, where they tested several different pieces of copy and ended up improving conversions by 30%.
One of HTML5's new features is the Geolocation API, which allows you to request information about the user's location to create more customized and localized experiences.
In last week's episode, we learned how to get a google map onto our webpage. Wouldn't it be nice if we could find our user's location so we can customize the map?
HTML5 introduces the Geolocation API that allows you to get information about the user's location, with their permission, of course.
Let's take a look at how to get our code running on the page. First, we need to account that geolocation is not available in all browsers, right now there is support in Chrome, Firefox, and Mobile Safari, and Android.
To test if geolocation is available, we can do
if( navigator.geolocation ){
// Geolocation is available
If you are using Modernizr to detect features, you can check Modernizr.geolocation
if( Modernizr.geolocation){
// Geolocation is available
Next we call
We pass it a callback function that will be executed when the user allows us to see the location, and the location has been calculated.
Let's write our hasPosition callback
function hasPosition(position){
// Gauranteed information
// Optional information
Now the user may decline to give us their information, or some other may have occured, in which cas we should handle these situations gracefully.
When we call navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition we should pass another funcrtion for handling errors
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(hasPosition, handleError)
function handleError(err){
if (err.code == 1){
// User rejected location request
// err.code == 2: Position is unavailable
// err.code == 3: Timeout
// err.code == 0: Unknown Error
If the error code is 1, that means the user declined to give you their information. Since geolocation information is a very private piece of information, you should respect their decision and provide them with some other means of completing your task.
Now, what you do with the geolocation data will vary from application to application, but quite often, it involves locating the user on a map. Let's look at how to place a pin on the user's location using google maps.
So if we already have our maps set up from our episode on google maps, we can create this geolocation callback:
function hasPosition(position){
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: point,
map: map,
title: "You are here"
And those are the basics of the geoLocation API, with it you can create awesome user experiences showing the user places and people around them, and much more…

5 Year-End Trades From the Tech Sector
2012 has been a pretty mediocre year to own Microsoft (MSFT). Even though the technology giant has climbed 4.24% so far this year, that performance is awful compared to the nearly 14% climb the rest of the S&P 500 saw over that same period. But Microsoft's chart indicates that could change...
For the last few weeks, Microsoft's price has been consolidating sideways in a rounding bottom pattern. A rounding bottom looks exactly like its name suggests: it's a U-shaped curve that connects the swing lows for a stock. A horizontal resistance level that connects the highs is our breakout level to watch -- in MSFT's case, it comes in at $27.75. That means that a break above that $27.75 level is the buy signal for this stock right now.
The fact that a move above $27.75 would coincide with a break of the downtrend that's been holding shares lower since September is important -- it magnifies the upside potential for shares by removing another important upside barrier. Momentum adds some extra confidence to this trade -- 14-day RSI has been trending higher since the bottoming started. Since momentum is a leading indicator of price, that's a good sign that MSFT is likely to test $27.75 this week...

As an engineer I obviously can see the big retirement wave that did hit in February and March. Yes, it was short and things went back to nearly normal in April, but it did not go far below normal to significantly compensate for that big hit - a very BIG hit considering that the total retirement for the year was far above projected. I know some of it was due to the furloughs and lack of pay increases (which equate to pay cuts when you factor inflation). Not much of a reason to come to work at a reduced pay when you can do almost as well on retirement. The future doesn't look much better.

Gold, silver drop on firm dollar, rate hike in India
Silver prices continue to dive after Monday's sell-off, losing another 7%. Gold sheds more than 1%.
By Alix Steel, TheStreet
Updated at 4:34 p.m. ET
Gold and silver got pummeled Tuesday on a stronger U.S. dollar and a surprise rate hike in India.
Gold (-GC) for June delivery settled down $16.70 to $1,540.40 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold traded as high as $1,551.40 and as low as $1,516.20, but was tanking almost $30 in after-hours trading. The spot gold price was down $7.80, according to Kitco' gold index.
On the heels of Monday's sell-off, silver (-SI) prices tumbled another $3.50, or more than 7%, to close at $42.59 an ounce. The CME has raised margin requirements again for silver by 11.6%, the third time in a week. It will now cost a trader $16,200 to buy a 5,000-ounce futures contract. The move will go into effect Tuesday after market close, and leveraged traders could dump positions to avoid having to pay more for silver. In stark contrast, it costs only $6,751 to buy a 100-ounce gold contract.
In the latest commitment of traders report ending April 26, speculative long positions in silver sank 10.8%, while short positions -- those betting the metal's price will fall -- jumped 24%. For gold, speculative longs sank 5% and short positions were flat.
Both metals struggled Tuesday as the price ratio between gold and silver continues to adjust. It is now at 35:1, compared with 31:1 when the metals were at recent highs.
"This weekend's outlier aside, silver tends to match-and-extend whatever gold's doing. So a rising gold/silver ratio typically comes together with falling prices for both," says Adrian Ash, head of research at BullionVault.com. "Anyone expecting a shift back to the historical or pre-modern levels (of 16 and 12 respectively) should note the ratio's huge swings through 1979 and 1980."
Mark Johnson, a co-manager of USAA Precious Metals and Minerals Fund, thinks the gold-to-silver ratio should be closer to 60 rather than 30 and has only a 0.5% position in silver. "Five months ago (we had) 8% silver, and now (we have) less than 0.5% in silver." If the ratio reached 60:1, Johnson would get interested in the metal again.
"Gold will do better," says Johnson, who thinks that recent silver mines will ramp up supply so fast that it will overtake demand. "We view volatility (in gold) as an opportunity. . . . (During) significant downward moves we are in there buying"
Leading the charge against gold and silver is a stronger U.S. dollar, with the U.S. dollar index adding 0.1% to $73.15, and a surprise interest-rate hike in India.
India raised rates by 50 basis points to fight inflation, currently at 8.89%, with the overnight lending rate at 7.25%, but negative real interest rates still persist.
Australia's central bank also warned of rising inflation but took no rate-hike steps, and the heat mounts for the Bank of England and the European Central Bank when they meet on Thursday. With growth and manufacturing activity in England anemic, at best, no rate hike is expected, and the ECB, which raised rates 25 basis points at its last meeting, is not expected to raise rates in consecutive sessions. Nevertheless, hawkish commentary should emerge with inflation in the UK at 4% and the EU at 2.7%.
"Gold and silver are . . . in much need of a bout of consolidation," says James Moore, a research analyst at FastMarkets.com, "with silver particularly vulnerable to long liquidation . . . But with real interest rates still largely negative, the rise in terror concerns and ongoing issues, gold is more likely to be cushioned." Many experts are still waffling in trying to find a range for silver but think $1,500 is a good support level for gold.
One puzzle in the gold community is the lack of leverage that gold stocks currently exhibit. Monday, when gold rallied nearly $20 intraday, Barrick Gold (ABX) ended the day down 2.7%. So either the gold stocks are a leading indicator of a further sell-off in the gold price, or the days of gold stocks providing 2:1 leverage have disappeared.
Johnson thinks the leverage will come back as input costs, particularly oil, stabilize and the gold price moves higher. "They do de-link. . . . Oil stabilization (is) a catalyst for the gold price." Johnson lists Iamgold (IAG) as his favorite gold stock.
Other analysts think that once companies report first-quarter earnings and deliver good production, manageable cash costs and free cash flow, markets will respond accordingly.
Leo Larkin, an equity analyst with Standard & Poor's who follows Barrick, Newmont Mining (NEM) and Randgold Resources (GOLD), says investors would just rather buy the physical metal or the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) rather than be exposed to the risks of miners.
"The ease to which you can gain exposure from the GLD (is) detracting from investing in the stocks." Larkin says that good cash flow hasn't made a difference for the stocks in the past and that, in general, earnings are looking good for most companies with good production and cash flow.
Some companies might ramp up their dividends to attract investors, but in the end, "if the gold price really starts to accelerate and input costs don't go up as much as the price of gold, . . . then you might finally see the stocks react," says Larkin.
The immediate worry is that gold stocks are foreshadowing lower gold prices, but Larkin says it's a different environment, with more physical buying of gold and more companies offering gold storage. Larkin has no affiliation with or ownership in any of the stocks he follows.
Stocks were sluggish Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) finishing the day flat at 12,807.5. The S&P 500 ($INX) ended down 5 points at 1,357 while the Nasdaq ($COMPX) lost 22 points to close at 2,842.
Gold mining stocks fell along with the metal Tuesday. Barrick Gold ended down 2.1% to $48.62, while Newmont slipped 2.3% to $56.22. Randgold fell 2.1% to $81.98, and AngloGold Ashanti (AU) tumbled 4.4% to finish at $48.18.

This was the first time for my two boys (21 & 15) to go on a plane trip. We were all really happy that it went very smoothly. We travel from where we were staying with family from West Linn, Oregon to down town Portland by Tram. We were glad we had family to show us around since we are from a very small town Vermont. Travel by car or tram can was very confusing. Traffic flows very fast, but people were pretty courteous when you let them know what you were trying to do. We traveled up the coast to Newport Beach and saw whales and sea lion. Then on the final day. Husband and sons went to explore caves near Mount Saint Helen's. It was a wonderful family vacation. Hope to do it again.

Ha! Ha! I guess I'm like your 7th graders. I get so excited to see an envelope with handwriting on it. I think that maybe someone who I haven't heard from in ages is writing me or maybe it's an invitation to something. It's always a thank you note from our auto mechanic. He fools me every time! I guess he has to thank us for all the vacations we enable him to take.

Aiden's right hand man, or dog, Bixxel_44. A dangerous man to mess with, and yet a very loyal companion.
[ Independent Watch_Dogs RP account. Tracking the bixxel44 tag. ]
'Don't fuck this up now,' he thought to himself, getting up from his bed and wandering down the stairs of his flat. Bixxel_44 had a secret mission today, one that only his superior Unknown Hacker knew about, and had to leave Aiden in the dark about it. He was give a box from his boss, containing a grey hoodie with the Abstergo mark on the front left side, much like a work hoodie, and given a level 6 access code key. Carefully he slipped it on over his plain white shirt, grabbing his black leather jacket to put over as well, kind of like an extra layer of protection. Once his jeans were buckled, his boots on, and his mask scarf around his neck, he was ready.
Bixxel_44 slipped up his mask, covering the lower portions of his face as he left his home, heading over quickly to airport.
His job: infiltrate Abstergo, and retrieve all files.
— Time Skip due to Travel —
Unfortunately the closest and biggest facility closest to him was in Philadelphia, just his luck. Never the less, the marksman made his way over to the Abstergo building from the airport, keeping his mask on at all times, and having the hoodie cover his head and eyes, wanting his identity on the down low.
Bixxel_44 walked into the tall white building, keeping his eyes straight forward and not looking at any of the other employees. It seemed like he was fitting in well since they didn't stop him or badge him.
Focus. Focus. Focus.
The hacker stopped for a moment, as if checking his phone, when actually the special contacts he wore light up in his own vision, invisible to everyone else. A HUD (heads-up-display) appeared before him, showing who everyone was, what they were doing, and most important, where he needed to go to find the main Abstergo computer.
Now then, on his way he went.
When Bixxel_44 came to the first sets of doors with guards positioned on either side, he pulled out the given keycard...
Abstergo tapped away at his computer, one of the few people in the offices. He hated transfer agreements and...

Copper scrap prices continue to hold steady on the back of weak physical demand, even as the primary market flirted with 14-month highs in New York.
Copper for March delivery closed at $3.177 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange on Monday, up 1.6 percent from $3.1255 Friday. But increasing primary copper prices are not being reflected in the secondary market, with demand for the red metal continuing to lag, brass and bronze ingot makers told AMM.

Premier Post - SWMC Club Hut in North Wales refurbished
mattrm - on 15 Mar 2013
Over the past few years the South Wales Mountaineering Club have been have been planning to refurbish our hut in Deiniolen (nr Llanberis), North Wales. This has recently come to fruition with the hut now sporting new showers, a new changing room. The whole bathroom area has been replaced. Also new gas stoves have been installed, the coin operated gas meter has been removed (so no need to take loads of cash up for heating) and new mattresses have been installed.
Many thanks to everyone involved, Jayne Hoskins the previous Hut Warden has done an incredible amount of work in sorting out all the various contractors and arranging for everything to be done. Thanks to previous and current committee members, Rhys, Alys, Ian, Sara and Steve for laying all the ground work.
More information (and photos!) of the refurb are here - http://www.southwalesmountaineering.org.uk/en/node/111

Great for the haul
I purchased 3 trunk organizers for my family and I to haul items in the back of our SUV so they would stay in one area without items rolling around. It worked GREAT! It folds down into a flat surface and is easy to store. When you want to put items in it you just fold it up very quickly and place the organizer where you want it. It has net pouches...Read the full review >
Not a great purchase
The product fine if you don't keep things in it all the time. I kept it undfolded & the edges bent. It would be nice for temperary use, but nothing for long term.Read the full review >

Kill Screen has a fascinating interview with indie developer Nicky Case, who is working on a video game about media bias. His inspiration? The network coverage of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
On August 9, African American teen Michael Brown was shot multiple times by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson. The death of the teen, who was unarmed at the time he was shot at least five times, sparked riots and protests in Ferguson, and tons of national attention from media outlets.

The nursery helped a record 4,300 children last year, but issues forced volunteers to turn away more kids than every before.
A new marketing campaign encourages people to ask friends and family to make a donation to the crisis nursery in your name, instead of giving you a gift you do not need or want.

As the World Cup kicks off in Sao Paolo this week, the home team is the runaway favorite, with a 45 percent chance of winning the tournament, according to Nate Silver on FiveThirtyEight and 48.5 percent probability according to the statistical boffins at Goldman Sachs. But apart from the bookmakers — who stand to lose a fortune if Brazil wins, since they are offering odds of around 3 to 1, instead of the 1 to 1 suggested by Silver's and Goldman's calculations — another, more surprising, group is secretly rooting against the favorite: Brazil's own financial and business community, along with much of the country's middle class.
That, at least, was my strong impression after two weeks visiting companies and financial institutions in Brazil. This unusual reversal of national spirit does not represent a breakdown of patriotism. Rather the opposite.
Brazil's next presidential election is in October, and virtually everyone in business and finance believes that President Dilma Rousseff, the incumbent, must be defeated to save the economy. Whenever a new opinion poll shows a narrowing lead for Dilma (as Brazilians invariably call her), share prices jump. Yet still she remains well ahead of both her opponents.
The best hope of defeating her may be an embarrassing World Cup setback. This would shatter national complacency — and with it, the president's support.
The problem for Rousseff's detractors is that, despite Brazil's deteriorating economic performance since 2011, she represents the same party and ideology as her predecessor, Lula da Silva, who was president from 2003 to 2010. Rousseff is credited with the achievements of da Silva's eight-year tenure, when Brazil was probably the world's best performing "middle income" emerging economy.

The Maharashtra government is going to recommend Sachin Tendulkar for the country's highest recognition — Bharat Ratna.
Not only politicians of various hues but former cricketers have also rooted for Tendulkar.
Calls for the award have become louder after Tendulkar achieved the rare feat of a double century in the one-day format.
In the event Tendulkar does get this honour, he will be the first sportsman and the youngest person to be so felicitated.
Should he be awarded the highest national honour?
The case for it seems quite strong.
Tendulkar's greatness in various formats of the game is acknowledged by his peers, seniors, spectators and statisticians alike.

People's Law Guide
Arbitration - What's It All About?
Do you need to know what arbitration is all about? Here are the basics.
What is arbitration?
Arbitration is a private method of resolving legal disputes, and its results are usually kept confidential. It is said to be strictly a matter of contract or may be submitted to voluntarily by all parties. However, one cannot usually force another into the arbitration of a claim made against her if she has not agreed to arbitrate that claim. Arbitration uses paid case managers and arbitrators in place of the civil court clerks and judges. Some arbitration agreements may require the use of three or more arbitration panel members.
Who pays the expense of arbitration?
Except in the instance of some specific types of consumer law cases, the person bringing the claim is often required to advance the full amount of all arbitration filing and case management fees. The parties are also usually expected to equally share and advance the costs of compensating the arbitrators. The prevailing party may be awarded its arbitration costs and reasonable attorneys fees if that remedy is provided for by the underlying contract or statute sued upon. Like in civil court, this may or may not result in full reimbursement.
Who runs the arbitration?
There are several nationally and internationally recognized private arbitration services which can be chosen to act as a case manager, provide a roster of "neutrals" from which the arbitrator is chosen, accept the filing of papers for transmission to the arbitrator, collect all applicable fee and arbitrator compensation payments, and maintain rules governing the arbitration process. In addition, some civil court systems have implemented various forms of arbitration procedures annexed to existing civil court cases.
What are the arbitration proceedings really like?
There will usually be a preliminary conference with the arbitrator and all parties to identify any procedural issues which need to be resolved and discuss how to deal with them, schedule the various procedural deadlines in the case, and to set a trial date. In arbitration, the trial is called the "final hearing". This is often done telephonically. Although arbitration proceedings are conducted with less formal rules and proceedings than in civil court, it would be a mistake for any party to take the process lightly. It is common to see experienced lawyers representing the parties in arbitration cases just as they would in civil court. Arbitration is typically less permissive about the extent of information which may be requested from the opposing party but more permissive about the evidence which will be considered at the final hearing than a civil court would normally permit. There is no jury. The arbitrator serves the functions of both the judge and the jury. So, always remember to be respectful to your arbitrator.
What if I don't like the arbitration results?
Arbitration results (called an "award") are intended to be final and therefore are difficult to overturn. The award may be reviewed through an appeal to a civil court, but only upon very limited statutory grounds. Therefore, many perceived errors made by an arbitrator may be expected to be upheld on appeal - even where it appears the law was incorrectly applied to the facts. This is a good reason to respect the entire arbitration process and take it seriously!

Georgia Aquarium
The world's largest aquarium is Atlanta's showstopper. It's crowded, like Venice, but it's awesomeness is hard to deny: whale sharks, beluga whales and the new $110 million AT&T Dolphin Tales gallery, theater and show ($13.

Atlanta's modern High Museum was the first museum in the world to ever exhibit art lent from Paris' Louvre and is a destination as much for its architecture as its world-class exhibits.
Located on a hilltop overlooking downtown, it features exhibits highlighting Jimmy Carter's 1977–81 presidency, including a replica of the Oval Office. Carter's Nobel Prize is also on display. Don't miss the tranquil Japanese garden out back.
A large oasis of green situated on the edge of the city center, the park is home to Zoo Atlanta , which features flamingos, elephants, kangaroos and the odd tiger. But the zoo's pride and joy are the giant pandas. They tend to have cubs that slaughter you with cuteness.
The preaching ground for King Jr, his father and grandfather, who were all pastors here, is also where King Jr's mother was murdered in 1974.
Completed in 1819 by British architect William Jay, this gorgeous villa exemplifies English Regency-style architecture, which is known for its symmetry.
Next door to the Georgia Aquarium, this self-congratulatory museum might prove entertaining to fans of the fizzy beverage and rash commercialization.
Across from the visitor center, it has more information on King's life and work and a few of his personal effects, including his Nobel Peace Prize. His gravesite , between the church and center, is surrounded by a long reflecting pool and can be viewed any time. From here, sign up for 30-minute first-come, first-served guided tours for the Martin Luther King Jr Birthplace .
The headquarters of the cable-TV news service. You might be tempted to take the CNN tour, a behind-the-scenes glance at the 24-hour news organization, but don't be heartbroken if you miss it. Visitors don't get close enough to the action to feel connected. They do, however, get to ride on an enormous escalator that climbs above a food court and into the CNN facility.
Now over five years old but still looking pretty darn space-age by Savannah's standards, the JCA focuses on 20th- and 21st-century art. Its contents are modest in size but intriguing. There's also a neat interactive area for kids. The $20 multivenue ticket allows discounted admission to two affiliated museums, the Telfair and the Owens-Thomas House.
Although Jim Williams, the Savannah art dealer portrayed by Kevin Spacey in the film version of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, died back in 1990, his infamous mansion didn't become a museum until 2004. You're not allowed to see the upstairs, where Williams' family still lives, but the downstairs is an interior decorator's fantasy.
Established in 1937, the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is a national gem, encompassing 396,000 acres of bog in a giant saucer-shaped depression that was once part of the ocean floor. The swamp is home to an estimated 9000 to 15,000 alligators, 234 bird species, 49 types of mammal and 60 amphibian species.

A former governor, a pioneer in mental health and former West Virginia University football coach were among the state's noted personalities who passed away in 2012.
Hulett C. Smith was the governor of West Virginia from 1965-69. A native of Beckley, the 93-year-old Smith was residing in Arizona when he died on Jan. 14.
While the Democrat was governor, the death penalty was abolished, human rights legislation and a $350 million road bond passed, teacher pay was increased and the first phase of a $32.5 million, three-year school improvement program was approved. He lost his re-election bid to Republican Arch A. Moore in the 1968 election.
Mental health pioneer Dr. Mildred Mitchell-Bateman died on Jan. 25 in Charleston at the age of 89. In 1962, she became the first black woman to head a state agency when she was selected director of the Department of Mental Health, holding the position for 15 years. Mildred Mitchell-Bateman Hospital in Huntington is named in her honor.
Bill Stewart had a lengthy career in coaching, including a stint as head football coach at West Virginia University. The New Martinsville native died May 21 at the age of 59 while on a golf outing in Lewis County.
He had a two-year record of 28-12 as head coach with the Mountaineers after taking over the program from Rich Rodriguez in 2007. His first game as head coach was a 48-28 victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. He was replaced by current coach Dana Holgersen.
The state also bid a final farewell to several other noted West Virginians, including the following:

Submitted press release
HCEDP introduces new Director and Economic Development Specialist to the Henry-Rural Rock Island-Mercer County Region.
Collaborating with area businesses and municipalities, Henry County Economic Development Partnership (HCEDP) and Bi-State Regional Commission applied for and was one of thirteen national awardees of the Rural Jobs Acceleration Innovation Challenge Grant. With the award, the Partnership has hired two staff to spearhead economic development projects for the Henry, Rural Rock Island and Mercer County region. The staff was officially welcomed at the monthly HCEDP Meeting Thursday, January 17, 2013 in Cambridge, Illinois.
Kathleen Repass of Geneseo, Illinois will serve as the Economic Development Director, and Katie Hobbs of Bettendorf, Iowa as the Economic Development Specialist. Both began their duties the first week of January. Their office is located in the Henry County Courthouse, Cambridge, Illinois.
As part of the targeted initiatives, HCEDP will sponsor the 2013 "I Pitched" Entrepreneur Contest. This innovative competition launches entrepreneurs and spurs economic activity. Last year's contest resulted in six new business start-ups, three business loans and ten jobs created or retained. Changes this year are the addition of a category for existing business retention and expansion and a second competition venue in Geneseo, Illinois. Scheduled for March and April of this year, more information about the competition is available at www.henrystarkfastpitch.org .
This January, HCEDP was instrumental in accelerating emergency maintenance on the Mississippi River by the Army Corps of Engineers by providing relevant information through a letter writing campaign to President Obama, Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack, and Federal and local legislators. The reduction in barge traffic on the Mississippi River due to low water levels would have a negative economic effect on the businesses of Henry County and the surrounding region.
The Partnership, working with Henry County Firearm Manufacturers is providing relevant information to Legislators regarding the pending Gun Control Legislation. According to the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, 25 businesses in Henry County are affected by this legislation. Bi-State Regional Commission reports there are 157 small arms manufacturing jobs in the Bi-State Region, with approximately 400 jobs in the industry and over $15 Million in annual earnings.
HCEDP Chairman Charlie Lotridge met with Rock Island Clean Line Energy personnel to discuss their proposal to establish a direct current line through Henry County. HCEDP will post information about the status of the Clean Line project on the HCEDP website www.hcedp.com. HCEDP representatives and business leaders will travel to Springfield in March to meet with our area Legislators to discuss the needs and opportunities of our County and region's businesses and citizens.
Formed in 1991, Henry County Economic Development Partnership (HCEDP) is a not-for-profit corporation with membership from the public and private sectors interested in sustaining and encouraging growth of existing businesses and attracting new businesses.

Friedrich and Heinrich Kapp, German immigrants to Ireland from Nürnberg, Germany, founded the famed Kapp Brothers store on Grafton Street, Dublin in 1865. Shortly thereafter, a Latvian immigrant, Charles Peterson, strolled into the Kapp workshop and declared that he could make better pipes than they. Armed with an imaginative flair for pipes and a craftsman's background, Peterson not only proved himself correct, but became the third partner in the fledgling firm. During the last hundred years, Kapp and Peterson has grown tremendously without losing sight of their original dedication to quality, handcrafted products at a reasonable price.

Baltimore's port marks record year for vehicles in 2011
City beats every other U.S. port in auto category in first 10 months of 2011

After the cars are driven off the ship they are brought to a lot where they will be inspected. (Baltimore Sun photo by Lloyd Fox / January 11, 2012)
Mercedes-Benz and BMW models go one way. Land Rovers and other models go another.
Some days, the routine at the port of Baltimore runs in reverse, with thousands of U.S.-made cars being loaded for overseas destinations.
All that traffic means 2011 will turn out to have been a record year for the port of Baltimore's public auto terminals. Through November, longshoremen loaded and unloaded 403,679 vehicles, surpassing the total for all of 2010 by more than 6,500 autos.
To put it another way: During the first 10 months of 2011, the port's public and two private auto terminals handled 951,251 tons of cars, beating every other U.S. port — a first for Baltimore. The value of those vehicles was $10.1 billion.
In some ways, the attraction to Baltimore is a matter of simple math. The eight to 10 hours it takes ships to steam up the Chesapeake Bay is offset by the fact that Baltimore is 200 miles farther inland than other East Coast ports, said Ted Boudalis, operations manager of the local vehicle-processing center for Mercedes-Benz.
"The further we get inland from the ocean, the less it costs us in trucking. You shave time and distance," he said.
But there's more to it than that, said Rex Sherman, research director for the American Association of Port Authorities. Baltimore's 2011 numbers are a testament to the vision of Maryland officials over the years, he said.
"Those terminals weren't built overnight," Sherman said. "Port officials have been pretty aggressive in attracting and keeping business, and making investments in infrastructure that's allowing these autos to come in now that the market is back."
In 2005, Mercedes-Benz signed a 20-year lease with the Maryland Port Administration for its waterfront vehicle-processing center. Five years later, BMW jumped aboard with a five-year agreement to ship tens of thousands of cars to the port annually.
James White, executive director of the port administration, says the 2011 figures prove the port has made a "tremendous recovery" from the economic downturn, with the auto industry providing more than 1,000 jobs.
"Our success in autos is due to our inland location, excellent labor and renowned quality program," White said.
With the globalization of the auto industry, car company origins mean little. The port handles Ford vans made in Turkey and General Motors compact cars from Mexico. High-end American cars and SUVs are shipped to the Middle East, and $500,000 Maybach sedans and $250,000 McLaren sports cars arrive in Baltimore on their way to U.S. car enthusiasts.
"Everybody is everywhere," said Paul Hill, operations manager for shipping company Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics.
From the docks, it's a short distance to one of the port's three auto-processing plants. Mercedes-Benz handles its own cars plus BMW. Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Subaru go through a facility owned by WWL Vehicle Services Americas Inc. Volvo, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Jaguar, Land Rover and Chrysler are processed by Amports.
Once a month, port officials, car manufacturers, processors and longshoremen convene a meeting of the Quality Cargo Handling Action Team to talk over problems and devise solutions.
Baltimore is Mercedes-Benz's busiest U.S. port, with 125,000 vehicles imported annually. In October, the processing center prepared 12,400 vehicles — a record month until November's 13,000 vehicles.
Getting Mercedes vehicles ready for delivery to 350 dealerships from Virginia to Maine and to as far west as Colorado requires brute strength, a nimble workforce and a game plan worthy of an NFL team. The Mercedes team can clean and inspect a car, fix problems, add accessories and send it on its way in as little as 24 hours.
Cars arriving in Baltimore carry one of three designations: already sold, dealer request (usually a hot model) and general dealership stock.
