The insane don't realise they're insane!

Wow Paula!
Funny that you should bring this up at this time. I've been reading a few books on psychopaths and sociopaths over the past couple of weeks. These are people who are often very charming, normal looking, often have better than average intelligence and simply have no conscience. They can be found in all walks of life. Most are criminal in one way or another and many are never charged with a crime because they just have not been caught at something they can be charged with. They are, however, destructive to others in one way or another because they do not possess any understanding of what people with conscience feel. They know right from wrong but do not understand why what they do would cause another person distress. They see people with emotions and conscience as weak. They have learned to act as though they have the same feelings as other people because it is useful to them and helps them manipulate the other person. These people do not fit the definition of insane in our courts because they do know what is considered right or wrong. All they care about is not getting caught at what they do to satisfy their own needs.
I also deal with my mother and her dementia every day. I am constantly reminded that she thinks I am the one who is crazy.
Maybe? Hahaha!
It's a fascinating subject to me.
With the election around the corner I have to give thought to how many of our politicians fit this description. It's scary.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nahanni47 Great TV for a small area. I purchased this TV for a small bedroom and am very happy that I chose this one. The overall quality is excellent for the price. The look of the TV is clean and streamlined. The picture is crisp and clear and there are some nice features on it. Setup was a breeze. I have always been pleased with any LG products that I have owned. April 24, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by ajs1929 Great TV for the Kitchen Excellent picture quality and sound. Fits underneath our cabinets with room to spare. Love the Television. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thegolfer I agree with all-nothing I would eleminate. I was looking for a sale and I could not believe this tv was so cheep. I compared it to the other TV's in the store that were the same price and it was truly outstanding in color quality so I said for that price I will buy 2 and use it somewhere else in the house or save it till I figured it out-well I landed up placing it in the living room-I like that I can make all the adjustments from the remote as far as color quality etc. I works perfectly with my DVD-R-which I was worried about. I have other LG products in the house and love that's why I seriously considered an LG TV-well 3-my phone, computer monitor and washer/dryer are LG's. March 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JB Only the best!! This has been one of the best investments we have made in entertainment. It is the third L.G. T V we have bought, and this is probably the best. I had it connected and operating within 30 minutes. It has been a real joy to watch. April 12, 2014

A vegetarian diet excludes meat, poultry, fish, and foods containing these products. There are many different variations of the vegetarian diet. This article focuses on the lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet, which is based on plant foods, but also includes eggs and dairy.
There are many health benefits associated with following a vegetarian diet. In general, vegetarian diets tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, and provide higher amounts of many vitamins and minerals than traditional western diets. Moreover, a well-balanced vegetarian diet may help:
People choose to follow a vegetarian diet for many different reasons, including health benefits, concern for the environment, and concern for animal welfare.
A lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet is based on plant foods such as grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, and nuts, in addition to dairy and eggs. To make sure that you meet all your nutrient needs on this diet, be sure to eat a variety of each of these types of foods. Nutrients that deserve extra attention to make sure they are eaten in sufficient amounts include: protein,
vitamin B12,
vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids .

Hotel American - Dinesen |
Venice city guides
Alguns guias que falam de Hotel American Dinesen l
Despite its potentially unromantic name (did you travel transatlantic for this?), the Hotel American is recommended for both its style and its substance. One of the nicest of Venice's moderate hotels, it has the perfect combination of old-fashioned charm and utility. This three-story hotel located near the Peggy Guggenheim Collection offers a dignified lobby and breakfast room dressed with lovely Oriental carpets and marble floors, polished woods, leaded-glass windows and French doors. The best choices are the larger corner rooms and those overlooking a quiet canal; some have small terraces. Every room is outfitted with traditional Venetian-style furnishings that usually include hand-painted furniture and Murano glass chandeliers. If it's late spring, don't miss a drink on the second-floor terrace beneath a wisteria arbor dripping with plump violet blossoms.
Time out
The pleasant American is a well-run and popular hotel with friendly service. Set on the delightful rio di San Vio, its generally spacious rooms are decorated in antique Venetian style; some have verandas with bright geraniums and look over the canal. Try to secure one of the corner rooms where multiple French windows make for wonderful light. There's a tiny terrace where breakfast is served under a pergola.
This quiet, family-run hotel has a yellow stucco facade typical of Venetian houses. A hall decorated with reproduction antiques and Oriental rugs leads to a breakfast room reminiscent of a theater foyer, with red velvet chairs and gilt wall lamps. Guest rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished in sage-green and delicate pink fabrics with lacquered Venetian-style furniture throughout. Some front rooms have terraces with canal views. A water taxi can deposit you directly in front of the hotel on arrival, and although the four-story building has no elevator, you'll have assistance with your luggage if needed. The exceptional service will help you feel at home at the hotel and in Venice. Pros: High degree of personal service; located on a quiet, exceptionally picturesque canal. Con: Lack of elevator will be a problem for some.
Holiday city Europe.com
Hotel American Venice is quietly situated on a picturesque canal of San Vio, an excellent position - away from the bustle of the city but near enough to the centre for easy exploration. The hotel is conveniently located between the Accademia Museum and the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation and within walking distance to Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge. The hotel has a private dock for gondolas and motorboats so guests can directly reach the hotel.
Other guides
Nicely located and well refurbished three star hotel, overlooking the Rio di San Vi, a couple of minutes stroll from the Accademia. Has a wide range of well-priced rooms-especially good value in winter

The Company provides passenger air service to more than 27 million passengers per year to more than 100 destinations. Alaska Air also provides freight and mail services, mainly to and within the state of Alaska and on the West Coast. Although Alaska and Horizon both operate as airlines, their business plans, competition and economic risks differ. Alaska Airlines, Inc. is an Alaska corporation that was organized in 1932 and incorporated in 1937. It offers north/south service within the western U.S., Canada and Mexico, and passenger and dedicated cargo services to and within the state of Alaska. Alaska also provides long-haul east/west service to Hawaii and thirteen cities in the mid-continental and eastern U.S., mainly from Seattle. Horizon Air Industries is a Washington corporation that first began service, was incorporated in 1981 and was acquired by Air Group in 1986. Alaska and Horizon integrate their flight schedules to provide convenient, competitive connections between most points served by their systems. The airline industry is competitive. The principal competitive factors in the industry that are important to customers are: flight schedules, safety record and reputation, fares, customer service, routes served, frequent flyer programs, on-time arrivals, baggage handling, on-board amenities, type of aircraft, and code-sharing relationships. Alaska and Horizon have marketing alliances with other airlines that provide reciprocal frequent flyer mileage credit and redemption privileges and code sharing on certain flights. Airline tickets are distributed through three main channels: Airline websites such as alaskaair.com; Consumer reliance on traditional travel agencies is shrinking, while usage of online travel agencies is increasing. Both traditional and online travel agencies typically use Global Distribution Systems, such as Sabre, to obtain their fare and inventory data from airlines; Bookings made through these agencies result in a fee, the GDS fee, that is charged to the airline; Telephone reservation call centers. These call centers are located in Phoenix, Ariz.; Kent, Wash.; and Boise, Idaho. The Company is subject to various laws and government regulations concerning environmental matters and employee safety and health in the U.S. and other countries.

Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor Audio CompressorThe EL8 Distressor from Empirical Labs is an automatic gain (or volume) control device (AGC in engineering terms) designed for pro audio applications. Basically, the compressor electronically controls the volume of just about any source in a very pleasing, and "musical" manner - adding fullness, intelligibility, and especially in the Distressor's case - excitement. This type of device is often called a "limiter" or "compressor" by audio industry people. The Distressor Compressor's most probable use will be in recording studios, live sound situations, movie sound production, and radio broadcast production.Unlike most analog compressor/limiters the Distressor is a digitally controlled audio device and actually incorporates several products into one by utilizing digital controls to switch totally different circuits in and out. Years of beta testing and redesign went into the EL8 Distressor as will be the case with all Empirical Labs products.Besides offering a wide range of control and unique features, the Distressor offers a warm, vintage sound by using a custom designed gain control circuit. This "warmth" or vintage sound has become an important issue in the last 15 years, as the super clear and linear digital technology does very little (or nothing) to soften "harsh" sounds nor emphasize the bass frequencies in music sources. Older analog tape, vinyl records and tube equipment on the other hand, could not be prevented from coloring the sound, often to the frustration of recording engineers. However, many people have now realized that this coloring can be extremely pleasant and "musical". The current digital technology is often referred to as "cold" and "brittle" among other terms, although we prefer the term "unforgiving" to describe the negative side of the "linearity". The Distressor compressor offers several modes that color the signal, even without compression (or gain control). These extended modes were designed to allow emulation of some very old and some very expensive vintage gain control units (compressors & limiters) and deliver a classic "knee" sound all its own.About Empirical Labs:Empirical Labs was started in 1988 and functioned mainly as a recording studio and electronics consulting firm. The founder, Dave Derr, was also employed at the time by Eventide as an audio engineer and was one of the core designers of their legendary H3000. EL's first product, the EL8 Distressor (#501578) immediately took the recording industry by storm and hardly a record has been made without it since. With a mission "to make products that work a little easier, a little better, a lot longer, and are fun to use," Empirical Labs continues to create unique and innovate products that quickly find homes among the top professionals of the audio industry (and anyone else who wants in on the Empirical Labs sound).Empirical Labs Users:Aerosmith - Joe Perry (8 Distressors)Al SchmidtAlanis MorrisetteAngela Piva - Mary J Blige, Naughty by Nature, Janet JacksonAshes dIvide Billy HowerdelBilly Sheehan (Mr. Big, Niacin, David Lee Roth)Bob Clearmountain - Journey, Bryan Adams, Stones, Springstein, etc, etc, etc!Bob DylanBob PowersBon JoviBrendan O'Brien -Producer Mixdown EngineerBruce Calder - (Electric Lady Studios, Degeneration)Butch VigCherChimeraChris Lord AlgeChuck AinlayClair BrothersCold PlayCraig Melvin (Gloria Estefan)Creed - Eight Distressors on their 2003 tourD & D Studios NYCDaniel Lanois (U2)Dave Hewitt - Remote Recording ServicesDave Matthews —David KahneDeath Cab for CutieDisturbedDolly PartonDon WasDust Brothers (John King)Ed Cherney -Ed Kowalcyzk - LiveEddie Kramer (JimiHendrix)Effanel Remote recording - Randy Ezratty, 2003 GrammysElton JohnEminemEric Schilling - Gloria Estefan, John SecadaFinn Halle - GermanyFiona AppleFive Towns College (6 Distressors)Fleetwood MacFletcherFull Sail School for the Recording ArtsGeorge MassenburgGoo Goo DollsGreg Calbi - Sterling SoundGungi PattersonHoleJason Slater - Snake River ConspiracyJay Baumgartner - NRG StudiosJay Gordon - Producer, Lead Vocalist of OrgyJerry Harrison - Live, Verve Pipe, (12 Distressors)Jerry Only - The MisfitsJoe BerisiJoe Chicarelli - Hole, Beck, U2, etc!Joe SatrianiJohn Agnello - Producer, Engineer, MixerJohn Kurzweg - CreedJohn McBride at Blackbird Studios - 8 Distressors, 4 Fatsos, 2 Lil FrEQsJohn PaternoJohn Patterson —John SicketJosh Abraham (Orgy, Staind, Korn, Limp Bizkit)Judy SaiyaJulien - KKevin KillenKip WingerKooster McAllister - Record Plant RemoteLinkin ParkMarc Costanzo, LenMark AnthonyMark Plati - David BowieMaroon 5Matt WallaceMegadethMetallicaMichael BienhornMichael Wilton (Queensrych)Micheal Brauer - Sony Studios NYCMick Gazauski — (Mariah Carey, Boyz 2 Men, Toni Braxton, etc.)Mick Hughes - Metallica FOH EngineerMike Keating (Sting, Bush, Springstein live)Mike ShipleyMillbrook SoundMitch GoldfarbMutt LangeN SYNCNatalie MerchantNate KunkelNikki Sixx (Motley Crue)Nine Inch NailsOutsmarting SimonPaul Tennebekk (Norway's Midwest Audio)Peter DenenbergPhil (the Buther) Nicolo (The Stones, Amy Grant, Sting, Aerosmith, Judy Saiya)Phil Ramone/John PattersonRammsteinReal World Studios - (Peter Gabriel's facility in England)Ricky Martin Roey Shamir - Information Society, Al B SureRoss Hogarth - (Jewel, Coal Chamber, Grade 8)Ryan Hewitt - Engineer ExtraordinareScott Anthony - Dessau recording, Beastie BoysSeal - on tourSean Beresford (3rd Eye Blind)Shania TwainSheryl CrowSound KitchenStaindStingStone Temple PilotsSue Shoemaker - Blues TravelerTchad Blake - Sheryl Crow, Richard Thompson, Crowded House, Pearl Jam, Bonnie RaittThe Academy IsThe PoliceThe Voyager Remote Truck in ParisThe WhoTom Lord AlgeTony LevinWheatusWhitney HoustonWoodland Studios - Robert Solomon

How to Brew
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Coarse for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
Did You Know?
The rich complexity of Antigua
In the Antigua Valley of Guatemala, one of the world's most esteemed coffee regions, coffee develops slowly. At altitudes of over 1,525 meters, coffee trees produce dense beans with a remarkable complexity. Floral aromas, lemony flourishes and deep dark cocoa notes combine to create a smooth, versatile brew that pairs with the entire meal, from savoury herb dishes to rich chocolate desserts. Ideal for espresso, coffee press or automatic brewer.

Big Data and Data Mining: Garbage In, Garbage Out
From an article touting the value of data mining in the era of BigData:
Whatever data mining tool you use for creating sales leads, remember that the tool is only as good as the data in it.
The old principle of garbage in, garbage out applies to both small and big data. But with the advent of BigData, tools are not yet on par with the needs.

Pig and Cheminformatics
Rajarshi Guha about Pig Latin:
While the implementation of such code [SMARTS matching and pharmacophore searching] is pretty straightforward, it's still pretty heavyweight compared to say, performing SMARTS matching in a database via SQL. On the other hand, being able to perform these tasks in Pig Latin, lets us write much simpler code that can be integrated with other non-cheminformatics code in a flexible manner.
Extensibility over compactness.

Big Money for Companies That Can Analyze Big Data
three skills necessary for data-driven start-ups: data munging, the corralling and wrestling of data; modeling, the statistical analysis of data through algorithms; and visualization, the presentation of all the data. While all three are necessary for success, Driscoll believes that modeling and analysis through algorithms is what will determine winners and losers in Big Data.
Most of us know these under the names data mining and business intelligence.
"The secret sauce is predictive analysis powered by data," said Driscoll. "It's less about what you did and more about what you should do, and not even telling you what you should do … it should just do it for you."
Sure thing. Everyone wants to predict stock market evolution, next football game score, etc.
What you actually need big data and data mining for is:
- tracing, identifying, and understanding/explaining past events
- modeling and validating future strategies

Have you Heard of Kdb+?
Until two days ago, I didn't know anything about Kdb+, a 16 year old solution,:
[…] a fast database for analyzing massive volumes of data.
Kdb+ is a unified database capturing and analyzing streaming and historical data.
I'll have to read the papers to make sure I understand better what Kdb+ is:
But if you know something, don't be shy and share it with us!
Update: I got this link from @lsbardel: A first look at kdb+, the article containing interesting info about kdb+:
kdb+ has embedded a Kx propriety language called q [… which] is a proprietary array processing language developed by Arthur Whitney. The language serves as the query language for kdb+. q evolved from APL as explained by its author in an ☞ interview.
The backbone of the q language is formed by atoms, lists, dictionaries and tables.
As any serious propriety software, kdb+ provides native interfaces in C/C++, Java, C# and Python.

With Expressionist woodcut-like black and white illustrations, here's a riveting memoir of growing up with a severely epileptic brother (and parents who frequently relocate the family, searching for the perfect cure) with a Cabinet of Dr. Caligari-like feel.
posted May 30, 2007 at 11:05AM
KaliO said:
David B. was born Pierre-François. He grew up in France in the 1960s and 70s with his mother, father, older brother Jean-Cristophe and little sister Florence. The siblings played in the alleys and streets with the neighborhood kids; life was normal. Then, one day when Pierre-François is nine years old, eleven-year-old Jean-Cristophe suffers a grand mal epileptic seizure in the street. The family is changed forever, and together they set out on an endless search for something—anything—that will cure Jean-Cristophe. The journey is not pretty. Not only are Jean-Cristophe's seizures debilitating and awful to behold, but the possibilities of a genuine cure are slim. A horrific surgery is rejected for a stint with an extreme macrobiotic cult; spiritualists consult with the dead, who are supposed to deliver a miracle cure; doctors, philosophers, psychiatrists, intellectuals, and religious leaders are consulted as a last resort that can never really be the final attempt. The family is often treated with cruelty; time and time again they are filled with false hopes by quacks and charlatans who take advantage of their desperation. Ultimately nothing works, but the years of hoping and trying take their toll. Young Pierre-François protects himself from the chaos of his brother's condition with homemade suits of armor, books about long-ago heroes of war, imaginary friends and ghosts, and epic drawings that depict scenes of ferocious and violent battles. Pierre-François' artistic outlet becomes David B.'s masterpiece. The book is brilliantly drawn in heavy blacks and whites that go beyond mere representation to show thoughts, dreams, even metaphors. The characters are fully-fleshed out and true (subplots involve both sets of grandparents and their involvements in both World Wars) and the story is sophisticated and intense, making Epileptic a real work of art.

Adele's song "Someone Like You" is a sad ballad sung from the point of view of a woman who's been dumped. But for some reason, folks in the U.K. just love to listen to it while they're trying to conceive.
The website ShareMyPlaylists.com has surveyed its users to create the ultimate "baby-making" playlist of songs couples who want to have a baby use to get them in the mood to get it on. "Someone Like You" topped the list, despite its unromantic nature. The rest of the list includes more obvious tunes, such as "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon , R. Kelly 's "Bump N' Grind," Bruno Mars ' romantic "Just the Way You Are" and, of course, Marvin Gaye 's "Let's Get It On."
Marvin's "Sexual Healing" also made the list, as did James Blunt 's "You're Beautiful," Boyz II Men 's "I'll Make Love to You" and Eric Clapton 's "Wonderful Tonight."
Kieron Donoghue , founder of ShareMyPlaylists.com, told Britain's Daily Mail , " We wanted to find out more about which songs get Brits in the mood the most, specifically when it comes to baby making, which can be a stressful time in the bedroom department for many."
He added, "The songs are tried and tested by parents, so while we can't guarantee the success they'll encourage, we can guarantee that they'll help get you in the mood!"

World Wetlands Day 2002: Nigeria
A non-governmental organization (NGO) Akpabuyo Bakassi Green Movement (ABGREMO) working to promote the protection of the last remaining mangrove forest of Niger-Delta (Nigeria) through education, information sharing and action programmes.
ABGREMO is holding a two-day public/school enlightenment programme beginning from 1st to 2nd February, 2002 to mark this year (2002) World Wetlands Day, the day which has been set aside by Ramsar Convention on Wetlands since 1971 and is marked every 2nd February of a year. This year's Day is very significant in the history of wetlands because of the date (02.02.02) and in view of the immense wealth of the Wetland Natural Resources that have sustained human populations for millennia. The theme for this day's celebration is "Wetlands: Water, Life and Culture", the activities scheduled to mark this day by ABGREMO include a public talkshow, distribution of wetland information package, wetland posters and stickers.
Again in view of the global significant of Cross River State Wetlands and as one of the Ramsar confirmed wetland sites, we call on all stakeholders to serve the unique wetlands of Cross River State, and Ministry of Environment should enforce Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) decree/law in all old and new projects, especially Oil Exploration Activities and Tourism Development that threaten the rich wetlands of Cross River State.
Furthermore, the state government and different law-making bodies should revisit the Cross River State Forestry Commission Bill passed as its functions and present line of programmes tends to neglect the unique wetland of Cross River State.
Finally, foundations, private sectors, Government and individuals should fund NGOs' programmes or research in this areas that will promote the sustainable use of the wetland.
Help us save the Rich World wetlands and Cross River wetlands in particular. Afrer all, our lives anchors on them.

What other readers are saying about this title:
Planxty said:
This movie has a very seventies feel to it and it isn't just the hairstyles. Basically about a Vietnam vet who is on the run from the police and is adopted/coerced by a movie director as a stuntman. The whole thing has a bit of a surrealistic feel to it. The scenes of the movie being shot sometimes go beyond the script and the director seems to be directing not only the movie but the lives of the main actors. They could do a lot more drawing parallels between what the vet's experience in Vietnam days and the war movie in which he is starring, or maybe they are just leaving this up to you. Peter O'Toole definitely is the memorable actor from this one. The protagonist is, unfortunately, a bit bland. If you're willing to accept this as a slightly older movie with a faintly psychedelic flavor to it then it might be worth watching. Not a kid's movie. There's interesting stunt work but nothing special by today's standards, the plot has that, "Huh? What?" component, and there's nudity (rated R).

A Must-Buy Gold Stock
Waqar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Canadian-based gold producer Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY) engages in the production, exploration, extraction and processing of gold and other precious metals. The company has operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Colombia.
Quarterly Earnings
On Feb. 20, Yamana Gold released its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012. The company reported earnings of $169.2 million, or 22 cents a share, versus $89.6 million, or 12 cents a share, in the same quarter last year.
The chief reasons behind this profit boost were high sales and strong production, which compensated for higher operating costs.
Revenues grew 11% to $629.5 million amid a 17% rise in gold output. Average realized price increased to $1,692 an ounce, from $1,670 an ounce a year earlier. As far as production was concerned, Yamana produced 1.2 million gold equivalent ounces—9% higher than the previous year.
Going Forward
According to the company, new development projects at its latest mines will make sure Yamana increases production by at least 20% this year. The company should be increasing production at its Brazilian mines, especially at the Ernesto/Pau location. C1 Santa Luz and Pilar are under construction, first output at both mines is expected by the end of this year. In Argentina, development work has already started on the Cerro Moro project.
In 2013, Yamana's focus will be on internal growth rather than on new acquisitions. As Chief Executive Peter Marrone said, "We're not at the stage of considering acquisitions at this point, we have two mines that start operations this year, three that reach commercial production this year and we have Cerro Moro."
Yamana has plans of investing $470 million in capital projects, which includes $40 million on Cerro Moro and $445 million on sustaining capital.
Earnings Forecast for 2013
In 1Q 2013, analysts expect Yamana to earn $0.21 per share on revenues of $625.34 million. For the full year, analysts' estimates stand at $1.50 a share on $3.45 billion in revenue. Yamana expects an output of 1.44 million to 1.60 million ounces this year, an increase of 20% from the previous year.
Yamana Gold is trading at a forward P/E (1yr) of 9.52x, making it a rather cheap buy in its industry. Incorporating a dividend yield of 1.80% into its PEG gives us a healthy PEGY of 1.23. Yamana's high operating margin of 38% shows that the company has been able to mint substantial profits despite the recent drop in gold prices. According to the sell side, it has a mean recommendation of 2, showing that Yamana is amongst the top buys in the gold industry.
The Gold Industry's Major Players
The Canadian-based gold producer Goldcorp (NYSE: GG) engages in gold mining and related activities. It is trading at a forward P/E (1yr) of 10.87x and has a PEG of 1.08. Adding PEG into its dividend yield gives us a PEGY of 0.97. This low PEGY makes Goldcorp one of the most undervalued stocks in the gold industry. Just like Yamana, it's generating healthy earnings on its sales—an operating margin of 41% is a testimony to this. A mean recommendation of 2.2 on the sell side suggests that Goldcorp is also a great buy in its industry.
On the other hand, Iamgold Corporation (NYSE: IAG) is trading at a low forward P/E (1yr) of 6.62x, which shows that investors aren't expecting that much from the company in the coming years—a negative PEG of 1.84 clearly reflects this fact. Though the company is yielding a healthy operating margin of 33% on its sales, it's slightly less than its top peers like Goldcorp and Yamana Gold. A mean recommendation of 2.7 on the sell side shows that it's an average buy in the gold industry.
As a result of low gold prices and high capital costs, most of the mining companies are now focusing more on increasing their margins, rather than growth. In order to enhance its output, Yamana's strategy going forward is to build its production base. Yamana's main catalyst for production would be its mines in Brazil, which are expected to generate substantial cash flows for the company. Furthermore, the company has plans of investing more on internal projects rather than acquiring new projects. The company already has two mines lined-up that will start operating this year, and another three will reach commercial production.
Gold prices have almost bottomed out, making this a perfect scenario to go long on gold stocks. Given the fact that the QE3 program is likely to continue, the long term future of gold prices looks bright. In my previous article, I mentioned why I still remain bullish about gold prices in the long run. Yamana Gold is still one of the best buys in the gold industry, thanks to its great production outlook for the future. The bottom line is that Yamana Gold is still one of the most attractive buys in its industry, making a must buy at this stage.

TheToyota Mark X G Sports Carbon Roof Concept is a car that we probably won't ever get to see on these shores. Having said that, it's a pretty popular ride in Japan and Toyota is doing its part to drum up even more interest on the sedan in its homeland.
At the Tokyo Auto Salon, the Mark X G Sports Carbon Roof Concept was displayed. For this model, though, the Japanese automaker decided to introduce a carbon-fiber roof that not only looks pretty cool, but also shaves off 6 kg (13.2 pounds) of fat from the sedan. With the new roof, Toyota was also able to lower the car's center of gravity by 3.5 mm (0.137 inches), which is always a good thing when trying to improve handling. The carbon-fiber weave pattern on the roof is an unmistakable reminder of the material's high-quality characteristics.
Add that to a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 318 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and mates to a six-speed automatic transmission, and you have a car that's poised to be a hot ticket in Japan. Wish we had this baby stateside because it would get considerable interest here too.

Smoking ban a no go in Fair HavenJuly 23,2013By Lucia Suarez
FAIR HAVEN — A 2-2 vote by the Select Board stymied an effort to ban smoking within the fenced area of the park.
With Selectwoman Claire Stanley absent, the remaining four members of the board could not muster the three votes needed to approve an amendment to the town's park ordinance to ban smoking.
Selectmen Jeff Sheldon and Robert Richards voted in favor of the ban, while board Chairman Christopher Cole and Selectman David Ward voted against it.
The amendment to the park ordinance — seemingly a compromise by the Select Board — would have banned smoking from within the marble-fenced area of the park, designating all other areas including the bus stop, the parking lot and where the cannon sits as smoking areas.
Before voting Richards, who was the most adamant in his support for the ban, called other members "spineless" for questioning the need for the ban and letting a handful of complaints against it sway their vote so easily.
He said smoking is a danger to people's health and for that reason it should be passed, adding it was not a smoker's right to endanger his health. He said he did not want to have to chose where to sit while at the park because of people smoking.
"I have not had to ask them to move and I don't want to have to," Richards said.
He went on to say that he fully expects people to be courteous about smoking, but the amendment will say on paper that they can't.
"I don't think you will have to enforce it most of the time, but if you do (have to), you will some teeth," Richards said.
Cole said he does not believe the town needs it. Ward said he spoke with several people — 22 in total — who were both in favor or against the ban.
"You can't enforce it," he said. "I would have been in favor of it if it was for special events."
Sheldon questioned how it would be enforced — "I don't see a police officer going in there and citing someone for smoking," he said — though ultimately he cast his vote in favor of the ban.

For the past six years, the award-winning [Moanalua High School orchestra] and volunteers from the New Hope Church have raised more than $200,000 for a charity that treats poor people in Africa.
But that all came to a halt on Monday when the Department of Education decided to cancel the concert just four days before the event.
In a letter to the Department of Education, Mitch Kahle, founder of the Hawaii Citizens for the Separation of State and Church, took issue with the involvement of New Hope Church, which handles ticket sales and sells those tickets at its services.
"The issue here is an entanglement between a public school and a Christian church," said Kahle.
"And one of the things about the constitution is that it prohibits the involvement of public schools and churches."

12 U.S. Code § 27 - Certificate of authority to commence banking
(a) If, upon a careful examination of the facts so reported, and of any other facts which may come to the knowledge of the Comptroller, whether by means of a special commission appointed by him for the purpose of inquiring into the condition of such association, or otherwise, it appears that such association is lawfully entitled to commence the business of banking, the Comptroller shall give to such association a certificate, under his hand and official seal, that such association has complied with all the provisions required to be complied with before commencing the business of banking, and that such association is authorized to commence such business. But the Comptroller may withhold from an association his certificate authorizing the commencement of business, whenever he has reason to suppose that the shareholders have formed the same for any other than the legitimate objects contemplated by title 62 of the Revised Statutes. A National Bank Association, to which the Comptroller of the Currency has heretofore issued or hereafter issues such certificate, is not illegally constituted solely because its operations are or have been required by the Comptroller of the Currency to be limited to those of a trust company and activities related thereto.
(1) The Comptroller of the Currency may also issue a certificate of authority to commence the business of banking pursuant to this section to a national banking association which is owned exclusively (except to the extent directors' qualifying shares are required by law) by other depository institutions or depository institution holding companies and is organized to engage exclusively in providing services to or for other depository institutions, their holding companies, and the officers, directors, and employees of such institutions and companies, and in providing correspondent banking services at the request of other depository institutions or their holding companies (also referred to as a "banker's bank").
(2) Any national banking association chartered pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be subject to such rules, regulations, and orders as the Comptroller deems appropriate, and, except as otherwise specifically provided in such rules, regulations, or orders, shall be vested with or subject to the same rights, privileges, duties, restrictions, penalties, liabilities, conditions, and limitations that would apply under the national banking laws to a national bank.
