Ellen Gray Gregory grew up in the small town of Lancaster, South Carolina, but spent much of her childhood in the Lowcountry and Western North Carolina. She attended Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas and graduated with a degree in Literary Studies. After graduating Ellen Gray applied to join the United States Peace Corps and was invited to serve as an English Teacher and Teacher Trainer in the Kingdom of Cambodia. While serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer on a small Island in the Gulf of Thailand, Ellen Gray was disturbed by the ecological issues affecting this tiny island community, especially those pertaining to food and water security. Upon her return to the US, Ellen Gray felt compelled to pursue a career in conservation and environmental stewardship. Before accepting the position as Outreach and Education Associate with the Polk County Office of Agricultural Economic Development, Ellen Gray worked on trail maintenance projects on Mount Mitchell and spent several weeks working on a homestead in Vermont. She is looking forward to continuing to learn about sustainable food and local food systems in Polk County!
Just Throwing It Out There…
Support Small Farms
Public consciousness regarding the dangers of industrial scale factory farms is on the rise. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the livestock sector, which is largely dominated by industrial scale farms, generates more greenhouse gas carbon emissions than all the world's transport combined. These types of farms also utilize vast amounts of fossil fuels to produce livestock feed and fertilizer and are major sources of land and water degradation. Small scale producers, on the other hand, typically follow more sustainable practices with less fossil fuel consumption and chemical pesticide use through careful management of diversified ecological systems. It is clear that supporting small-scale farmers – the principal demographic in Polk County – goes hand in hand with promoting environmental conservation and responsible land stewardship.
Over the past quarter, I have had the opportunity to interview several of these small-scale area farmers as a part of a "Farmer Needs Survey" that we are conducting in Polk County. The purpose of the survey is for our office to identify areas in which farmers need assistance (like with labor, marketing, etc) and to evaluate ways in which we can help farmers improve their farm businesses. I have learned a lot about the struggles that small-scale farmers face and have gained interesting insights into the history of farming and the future of farming in Polk in conducting these interviews. When asked the question, "What advice do you have for a farmer who is just starting out?" the answer I have received is nearly always the same: "Pace yourself"; "Start small"; "You have to crawl before you can walk"; and, almost overwhelmingly, "It's nearly impossible to get started nowadays". I hope that the insights gained from veteran farmers through this survey will enable our office to better support the agricultural community and new/beginning Polk farmers so that they have best chance of succeeding despite the seemingly "impossible" odds.
Conducting the "Farmer Needs Survey" has been a incredibly rewarding and unique experience. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to sit down with local farmers and learn about their struggles and successes. In addition, the data gathered from these interviews has provided our office with tangible opportunities to strength our local agricultural economy and help secure a resilient local food system. From the feedback that we have received from these surveys, we will be establishing a Livestock Swap at the Columbus Farmers' Market and we will be working to reinstate the local Cattleman's Association. I'm looking forward to conducting more of these interviews over the coming months and seeing what other ideas emerge.
And one of the best ways that you, the consumer, can make a difference is by coming out to the Columbus Farmers' Market, which returns this Saturday, April 8th! We will be hosting our first Livestock Swap and are excited to celebrate the start of the market season with you all. Come kick off the spring season with us and help support your local farmers!
The Magic of Mushrooms
Back in November, the Polk County AED team headed out to Durham for the annual Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA) Sustainable Agriculture Conference, where farmers and advocates gather together to network and learn about new farming techniques. The weekend was packed full of panels and workshops that covered a dizzying array of farm-related issues, including soil health, livestock fencing techniques, community-scale food policy, new marketing opportunities, and everything in between.
The Friday before the conference featured a series of full-day workshops that allowed attendees to take a deep dive into a topic of interest. I was lucky enough to attend a workshop on mushroom cultivation hosted by Tradd Cotter, founder of Mushroom Mountain in upstate South Carolina and author of the popular mushroom growing guide book Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation. We covered the basic biology of fungi, the various methods of growing mushrooms, and a few of the exciting areas of new mushroom research, including medicine and mycoremediation (using fungi to break down and reduce contaminants in an area).
While there are far too many interesting mushroom tidbits to cover in a short blog post, here is just a sample of some of the possibilities for mushroom cultivation on your property:
- A mushroom patch in your garden or woods:
Check out this great video from Steve Gabriel of Cornell University Extension as he explains the basics of creating a simple, productive patch of Stropharia mushrooms in a bed of wood chips.
- Producing mushrooms on logs:
If you need or want to thin some of the hardwood trees on your property, you can use the logs to grow valuable and delicious mushrooms! Alabama Extension has produced an informative primer on how the process works.
- Growing mushrooms indoors in bags or buckets:
You can start off small with a simple pre-made kit from a company like Mushroom Mountain to provide you with some tasty mushrooms for dinner. Once you get the hang of what it takes to keep one bag going strong, you can scale up to create your own enterprise.
Beyond being culinary delicacies and potentially lucrative agricultural enterprises, fungi also play a critical and largely unseen role in maintaining our natural habitat. This fascinating podcast from Radiolab investigates the hidden world of mushrooms in the forest and the way they connect trees to each other.
I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity I had to learn about the wide world of mushroom cultivation at the CFSA conference. While I feel like I've only just scratched the surface, I'm excited to try growing my own mushrooms, to hunt for them in the woods and fields around the county, and to uncover more of the secrets of these weird, wonderful fruits.
A Sustainable Ag Education
Between starting the AmeriCorps gig, learning the ropes of Agricultural Economic Development in Polk County, and exploring the diverse communities and landscapes of WNC, the past few months have been a bit of a whirlwind. An exciting whirlwind! Which has included a valuable professional development experience that I'd like to share now that things have quieted down a bit.
From November 4th to November 6th, 2016, the Polk County Farms team got to attend the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA) Sustainable Agriculture Conference in Durham, NC. As someone with a beginner level of agricultural and horticultural experience, I was excited by the opportunity to deepen my knowledge and to learn best practices from food and farming pioneers.
My CFSA conference experience began on Friday with a half-day pre-conference Intensive on fermentation from the team at Two Chicks Farm. Aside from viewing a SCOBY (short for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) one time and being mildly grossed out by the sight of it, I knew little about fermenting prior to attending this workshop. As you may know, fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar into acids, gases, or alcohol. Many of us consume fermented products everyday: sourdough bread, cheese, pickles, and, of course, beer. The presenters did an excellent job of sharing the cultural significance of fermentation and the science behind the process; they explained that the SCOBY that I was once freaked out by is, in fact, beneficial for gut health and immune system development.
I also appreciated the fact that the presenters explained the history of Two Chicks Farm, from how they first got into fermentation to how they've grown their business over time. They provided valuable tips on how to start fermenting and shared helpful resources on the subject. After walking through some of the basic do's and don'ts of fermentation, we pulled out our cutting boards and knives for the hands-on portion of the Intensive, in which myself and roughly 30 other attendees got to prepare classic sauerkraut, cortido, and dill kraut & pickles.
Two hours and a banquet hall floor full of cabbage remnants later, I walked out with jars of goodies to take home and ferment to my desired taste. It was awesome.
The "official" conference took place between Saturday and Sunday and consisted of 65 workshops on varying topics: beginner farmer, farm business, specialty crops, food systems, livestock, and more. My weekend looked like this:
Workshop A: I nerded out at a policy presentation from Organic Seed Alliance on the state of organic seed in the US. Bottom line – there is a major need for more skilled organic seed producers in order to keep pace with regional demands for organic crops.
Workshop B: Got schooled on innovative horticultural strategies from permaculture guru, Chuck Marsh. Living & woven fences = majorly cool.
Workshop C: Learned about NC State's Fork2Farmer initiative, a video project that highlights farmer-chef relationships and trains farmers on agritourism and hospitality best practices.
Workshop D: Attended a thought-provoking presentation on food as an avenue for equality and social change from Garrett Broad of Fordham University. Here is an article written by Mr. Broad for any of my fellow ag-tivists who may be interested in learning about his food justice theories.
Workshop E: Sat in on a truly comprehensive presentation on the production, marketing, and sale of cut flowers from Cathy Jones of Perry-winkle Farm. That lady knows her stuff.
My brain was overloaded with information, both practical and theoretical, by the time Sunday rolled around. Throughout the weekend I got to eat delicious local food and build my agricultural knowledge base. But the value of the CFSA conference extends beyond the educational workshops. The opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are working toward a common goal – to build sustainable food systems within their communities – is so important.
To borrow a phrase from Chuck Marsh, I left the conference feeling inspired to "cultivate abundance in a limited world… to consciously rely on living systems again". I am looking forward to taking the knowledge that I gained at the CFSA conference and applying it to the remainder of my AmeriCorps term and to the upcoming growing season.
Some (holiday) food for thought.
For me, food is one of the highlights of the holiday season.
Actually… let's be serious. Eating is one of my most favorite activities, in general, at any time of year.
However, the act of gathering with family and friends and chowing down on some lovingly prepared holiday food is particularly special to me. And that's what I appreciate so much about agriculture; the food that our farmers cultivate has an ability to bring people together. I've been lucky to get to experience this through the monthly Friends of Agriculture Breakfast that we manage here at the Office of Agricultural Economic Development.
The Friends of Agriculture Breakfast is held on the third Wednesday of each month from 7:00 am to 8:00 am at the 4-H Building in Columbus, NC. That requires a 6:00 am (or earlier) wake-up call for most folks who attend. I am consistently amazed by the number of people who come out each month to show their support for our agricultural community, despite the early nature of the event.
The staple Breakfast menu includes sausage, eggs, bacon, and grits, and we strive to feature food from local farms as best we can. We also make a point of preparing a "special item" dish each month, depending on what's in season. This month, we baked up some apples from a local orchard and we also made pancakes with eggnog syrup. Yes, you read that correctly. Eggnog. Syrup. You can find the recipe here to try the sugary, buttery, eggnog-y deliciousness for yourself.
Whether it's gingerbread cookies, holiday ham, eggnog, or whatever it may be – we hope that you all enjoy your holiday food traditions and the company you share it with. Happy holidays from the Polk County Ag Economic Development team!
Agricultural attractions of Polk County
This past Saturday, I took my nephew Samuel with me for a morning of agriculture related events. Our first stop was to a demonstration of a piece of equipment called a Commercial Brush Mulcher, which was recently added to the line of services offered by a local company. Before we were even out of the car, Samuel said, "That thing is cool!" Now, you have to understand that this statement is coming from an eight-year-old boy who has both of his wrists in casts. The question that is probably coming to your mind is, "How did he manage that?" And my response has been, "He's an eight-year-old boy!" Enough said. Anything that has a destructive application has his attention, so this piece of equipment was right up his alley. Plus, if you grow up in Polk County and your family has access to heavy farm equipment, you get initiated at a young age….
The Commercial Brush Mulcher, attached to the front of a Skid Steer, clears overgrown pastures, trails, and along fence lines in short order. We watched it clear half an acre in less than 30 minutes. Trees up to eight-inches in diameter became an evenly distributed later of mulch on the ground in minutes. Yes, it was super cool! And a great service for our landowners who have acreage they want "reclaimed" and put to use.
Our next stop was to a local Farm and Landscape supplier in Mill Spring where a "Livestock Event" was taking place. On the way there, my nephew said, "I want to see pigs!" I said, "I'm sure we will see chickens and maybe some goats, but not sure about pigs." Arriving at the location, I had to search for a spot to park so as not to block all of the in-and-out traffic and livestock trailers. A lineup of vehicles – cars, trucks, and trailers – were easily spotted with plenty of livestock available. Chickens and turkeys in cages beside vehicles were readily seen. Goats in the back of pickups, bleating for attention, could be seen and heard. As we started down the line, asking appropriate questions regarding breed, age, sex, and cost, I finally asked, "Any pigs??"
Three people simultaneously pointed down the line. The last four trucks and trailers had an assortment of swine – black, white, spotted, eight weeks to four months in age. One was being carried around by a cute little farm girl trying to find it a "good home". The others – not in a cuddle phase, were also looking for short-term good homes… if you know what I mean. Samuel jumped up on a trailer hitch to get a good view of pigs in the back of a pickup. Thankfully, he did not fall in and break his nose. I would not have enjoyed explaining that one at the hospital. We left without any purchases as our farm is currently at management capacity. We did, however, enjoy coffee and doughnuts and conversation with neighbors.
As I was chatting with a local farmer, there was a commotion at the end of the livestock line where a very lively little hen had escaped her enclosure and was being chased down by six helpers. I could tell that she was of the game bird type which are very agile and good at avoiding predators. My first thought was, "She will be seen occasionally down Mill Spring for weeks to come." But I watched as one farmer, cell phone to his ear deep in conversation, walked up to the circle of helpers, quickly scooped up the bird, and handed her back to the owner – never missing a breath in his phone conversation. My respect for farmers increased again. They do AMAZING things everyday with the attitude of it being a part of a normal day.
Thank you citizens of Polk County for making Agriculture a main attraction in our community.

… this year's AmeriCorps Service Members! Amy and Alex will be serving at the Polk County Office of Agricultural Economic Development for the next year and will work to preserve farmland, support beginning and experienced farmers, and strengthen ties between farmers and consumers in the county.
Amy DeCamp – Farm & Consumer Outreach Specialist
Amy grew up in a small beach town on Long Island, NY where she was taught to swim in the frigid waters of the Long Island Sound alongside prehistoric horseshoe crabs and gelatinous jellyfish. She was also lucky to have spent her childhood camping in the Catskill Mountains – floating down the Delaware River and singing songs while bald American eagles soared overhead. She developed a deep respect for the natural world at a young age as a result of these experiences. Amy went on to attend the University at Albany, State University of New York, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. From there, she spent several years working as an executive recruiter in New York. While recruiting provided Amy with valuable skills and experience, she ultimately realized that she wanted to transition her career to focus on environmental conservation and advocacy. Most recently, Amy has worked on small-scale organic farms throughout the South and in Western North Carolina to promote sustainable agricultural practices and to support local food systems. She is excited to be serving as Farm and Consumer Outreach Specialist this year!
Alex Kazer – Conservation Education & Outreach Coordinator
Alex hails from the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. After graduating from the University of Georgia with degrees in International Affairs and Arabic, he spent two years researching and working on refugee issues in Jordan and another year teaching at the American University of Iraq –Sulaimani. Seeking a change of scenery, he left the Middle East to explore the hidden corners of Europe. During his wanderings, he discovered a passion for farming while working on a goat dairy in Sweden. Alex spent the next three years in Washington state learning to farm and gaining a deep appreciation for responsible land stewardship. He is excited to work with the farmers of Polk County to help preserve the agrarian traditions of the area and to bring more young farmers on to the land.

Leafs name 28-year-old Dubas assistant GM; two execs let go
The Toronto Maple Leafs have hired Kyle Dubas as their assistant general manager, the team announced Tuesday.
Dubas, 28, has served as the GM of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League since 2011, when he became the second-youngest person in league history to hold the position. He previously worked as a scout and hockey operations assistant for the team and as a NHL agent.
"Kyle is a young executive that has made a strong name for himself in hockey with a progressive style, work ethic and maturation beyond his years," Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said. "He has a fresh approach that we feel will benefit our club for years to come."
The team also announced in the release that vice president of hockey operations Dave Poulin and assistant GM Claude Loiselle would not be returning for the 2014-15 season.
Dubas will serve under Toronto GM Dave Nonis.
"The chance to work for the Toronto Maple Leafs is like a dream come true," said Dubas. "I'm truly excited to begin helping this team win and learn from men like Brendan Shanahan and Dave Nonis. I'm very thankful for this opportunity, but equally grateful to the Greyhounds organization and the city of Sault Ste. Marie for helping put me in this position. The Leafs are focused on building a team that will enjoy long-term success and I am excited to play a role in it."

Recognizing the the unique needs of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patients, the Cancer Support Community (CSC) education team utilized CML specific information from CSC's Cancer Experience Registry to create the CML Discussion Tool.
The Cancer Support Community's Research and Training Institute provides a unique and explorative opportunity for people to share their personal experiences with cancer through The Cancer Experience Registry. The Registry collects stories and creates a collection of patient voices to exchange information and resources. It helps connect people touched by cancer, and it uses information from participants to learn more about what quality of life means to patients. By being a part of the Registry, all cancer patients—at any point of their cancer journey—and caregivers can contribute to the cancer community.
The Cancer Support Community was honored to return to ASCO and we did not come empty-handed. Armed with three abstracts and one poster presentation, CSC's Research and Training Institute (RTI) team was ready to share our research with the oncology community. Through the Cancer Experience Registry®, the RTI has collected data from over 11,000 cancer patients and caregivers—with every type of cancer represented.
Caregivers play a critical role in the treatment, support, and recovery of individuals with cancer, yet often times, their emotional and informational needs get overlooked. Caregivers have such a meaningful role in cancer care, and it is important to recognize and address their needs. These needs vary based on the health of the care-recipient, the physical and emotion needs of the recipient, the resources of and the demands on the caregiver, as well as the family or relationship dynamics.
Calling all lung cancer patients/survivors and care partners! The science is finally moving faster, providing more treatment options and hope for the future. Now we also need to help shape what the future looks like in other ways. Here in Lung Cancer Awareness Month, please take a few minutes to register for the Cancer Experience Registry and fill out the questionnaire.
This week's blog post is an excerpt from last month's Cancer Experience Registry newsletter. This excerpt is from an interview with Jimmie Holland, MD, Wayne E. Chapmen Chair of Psychiatric Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Dayle Friedman, Rabbi, Spiritual Consultant and Trainer at Growing Older: Wisdom + Spirit Beyond Midlife. This newsletter focused on the topic of cancer and aging.
"By definition," Lillie Shockney says, "hope is something in the future, something that motivates us to go forward in some manner. When someone is facing cancer, it's important from the outset to learn what that person's life goals and hopes are and to think about whether these hopes can be fulfilled. Are they realistic? Sometimes, you have to step back and take a different path."
The Advisory Board grew silent as one of the caregivers told his story. It was the first meeting of the group the Cancer Support Community brought together to plan the new Stomach Cancer program for the Cancer Experience Registry.
He was young, nice looking, straight forward--but the pain and futility of his beautiful wife's illness and death from stomach cancer was clear as he spoke. The doctors in the group listened and stressed the urgent need for new therapies to improve the prognosis, but we all came away from that meeting with a deeply increased understanding of the importance of connecting to the community of people impacted by stomach cancer (also known as gastric cancer) -- and giving them a voice.
If sharing your cancer journey could enhance the lives of others, would you help?
I keep hearing that people who have been diagnosed with cancer want to give back. They want to "pay it forward" so that the next person who is diagnosed with their disease will have a better experience than they had. I always think to myself – how selfless! We want to give back to you, too.
There seems to be so much survey research these days. An organization asks you to answer a questionnaire and then you never hear about it again. We wanted the Cancer Experience Registry to be so much more than a survey, so we created something we call Explore Responses where you can do just that – explore the responses of other people who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Google's prototype Chrome OS notebook, the Cr-48, arrived on my doorstep yesterday afternoon, and I spent a couple hours last night putting it through its paces.
My initial impressions: Chrome set out to solve some of the most annoying problems of Windows, like taking forever to start up and install applications. It solves those problems very well.
At the same time, I'm not sure that turning a Web browser into an entire operating system makes sense. There's no desktop -- just browser tabs. Applications are all Web apps, and run within their own browser tabs. And so on.
It's jarring, to say the least. But is it any good?

Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple in Pune, is a temple dedicated to the Hindu God Ganesh. The temple is located a short distance from the historical Shaniwar Wada fort, which was administrative headquarters of Peshwas of Maratha Empire.
The temple was founded in 1893 by Dagadusheth Halwai, and has thus been in the service of devotees since 117 years, a sweetmeat seller who became a wealthy businessman. Halwai had lost his son the previous year, and at the request of his guru created murtis (image of a deity) of Ganesha and Dattatreya. He later established the Halwai Ganapati Trust. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, during the British Raj, gave a public form to the Ganesh festival celebrations as a way of getting around an order that barred public meetings.
The beautifull idol of Ganesha is adorned with gold and precious jewellery which have been offered to the Elephant God by the devotees as a token of their love and affection. The idol of Ganpati has a solid gold ear and is decorated with nearly 8 kilos of gold.
The festivities of Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati festival attract people from all over India and now in this age of liberalization and globalization, from all around the world.
The goal of the trust is to make the celebration of Ganeshotsav based on the principles set out by Tilak and the path of devotion shown by saints Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram. To make it a celebration of morality and humanity and nationalism.

Stars unite to raise depression awareness
TWO of Ireland's most popular TV presenters yesterday spoke of the importance of communication with family and friends to fight depression.
At the launch of an Irish language depression support booklet, Rose of Tralee presenter Daithi O Se and Newstalk host Sile Seoige spoke of the effect depression could have and the importance of "being there" for others.
"There is a stigma attached to depression, but it is an obstacle we all face at one time or another. If you're feeling down, speak to somebody. It doesn't cost anything and you will feel better," said O Se.
The support booklet is part of the mental health awareness campaign 'Lean on Me'.
"Depression is something very hard to pinpoint and can manifest itself in many ways. You may not even know you are depressed. But if you do feel you need help or can't cope, tell a friend. Communication is the key," Seoige said.
While young males are usually targeted in campaigns, Irish spea-kers are the focus of this initiative, and O Se added: "This is about breaking down hurdles for Irish speakers who have depression."

Ezreal Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Ezreal is ranged champ with quick cooldown skillshot abilities. He is also solo champion, but he can be useful at team fight especially with his ulty. There are three ways to build Ezreal: AD, AP, and hibrid. AD buld is probably best buld becouse of Ezreals attack speed witch makes this AD build pretty much DPS build and you got qoick abailities to make even more demage. and this is way I build it...
Runes for Ezreal are simple: 9 Mark of Strength (attack demage)
9 Seals of Clairty (mana regen)
9 Glyph of Focus (cooldowna reduction)
3 Quintessence of Desolation (armor pen)
Masteries are also simple 21-0-9 based on AD, armor and magic pen, cooldown reductin and mana regen.
Summoner Spells
Flash and Clairvoyance... flash i use to get into posision for my abilities also good for running away (duble flash flash + arcane shift) clairvoyance is good for his ulty, but if you dont use your ulty often of for makenig raneged kills ther rather use exhaust or ignite.
Skill Sequence
While playing at lvl 1 take Mystic Shot its Ezreal main ability, then take Arcane Shift wich is good for getting into posision for Mystic Shot. Keep taking Mystic Shot and Arcane Shift until you reach lvl 6 then you take Trueshot Barrage Ezreals ulty. Then finish Mystic Shot and Arcane Shift (each lvl 5), after you finish it keep taking Essence Flux, but on lvl 16 take again Trueshot Barrage. Just look at the picture.
I take dorans blade for start, then i go for the mana. I take boots of speed and finish manamune. Then i take sheen awsome item for ez but, before i finish trinity force i take bloodthirster (you get lifesteal form your basic demage and abilities). when you finish trinity take yoummus ghostblad for CDR and finish build with infinity edge. Some player take items for early game mid and late game. That build would look like this... EARLY GAME: dorans blade, tear of godess, boots of speed, sheen, vampiric scapter, brutalizer. MID GAME: just keep building items i go with manamune, iron boots, blood thirster and trinity. LATE GAME: finish yoummus and infinity

Magmatic Sulfide Volatile Interaction As A Mechanism For Producing Chalcophile Element Enriched, Archean Au-Quartz, Epithermal Au-Ag And Au Skarn Hydrothermal Ore Fluids
From Open Energy Information
OpenEI Reference LibraryAdd to library
Journal Article: Magmatic Sulfide Volatile Interaction As A Mechanism For Producing Chalcophile Element Enriched, Archean Au-Quartz, Epithermal Au-Ag And Au Skarn Hydrothermal Ore Fluids
AbstractA combination of available geological, geophysical and geochemical evidence indicates that significant parts, or components, of Archean Au-quartz vein, epithermal Au-Ag and Au skarn ore fluids were magnetically derived, and that Au. Ag and associated, enriched elements were also magnetically derived (e.g., Giggenbach, 1986; Henley and Hoffmann, 1987; Sillitoe, 1989; Sillitoe and Bonham, 1990; Spooner, 1991 a,b). There is a significant core of commonality in element occurrence in Archean Au-quartz vein, Archean Hemlo-type, epithermal Au-Ag and Au skarn systems which suggests a shared genetic process. For instance, 44% (n = 12) of 27 elements occur in more than seven of ten ore deposit subdivisions: Au, Ag, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg, Mo, Sb, As, Te and S (nine metals; two metalloids; one non-metal). Addition of B and W gives 52% (n = 14) in more than five subdivisions. The frequency of occurrence of enriched chalcophile/siderophile elements is high at 85%; 23 out of 27. The converse is also high at 74% (23 of 31); all significant chalcophile/siderophile elements occur enriched in Archean Au-quartz vein, Archean Hemlo-type, epithermal Au-Ag and Au skarn deposits. However, if magma volatile saturation occurred after gravitational toss of magmatic sulphide melt/suspended solids, then Au, Ag and associated chalcophile elements would have been effectively removed from the magma because of known high sulphide-melt/silicate-magma partition coefficients of approximately 10(2)-10(4) (e.g., Au at approximately 3 X 10(4); Se at approximately 10(3)). Hence, it is proposed that Archean Au-quartz vein, Archean Hemlo-type, epithermal Au-Ag and Au skarn ore fluids derive their characteristic element enrichments by high-temperature fluid/vapour dissolution of magmatic sulphide-liquid droplets/solids (T < approximately 1010-1050-degrees-C) enriched in Au and associated elements (e.g.. 1-13 ppm Au in MORB sulphide globules; Mathez and Peach, 1989) in mafic/intermediate igneous compositions before sulphide loss. The key components of the mineralization enrichment process are sulphide melt/silicate magma partition, during which ore-grade Au concentrations can be produced from non-anomalous background Au abundances of approximately 1 ppb (enrichment factor = approximately 10(4)), high aqueous-phase sulphide solubilities at high temperatures (e.g.. Hemley et al., 1986; to 600-degrees-C), and selective Au precipitation. Support for this hypothesis is provided by: (a) the element association in Au skarns which shows 81% and 75% overlaps with associations in epithermal Au-Ag and Archean Au-quartz vein systems, respectively: (b) being able to explain enrichments of a variety of low-abundance elements simply because they are chalcophile (e.g.. Se, Tl; Sb, Hg, Bi, As, Te; Ni, Co, Cd, Pd, Pt; Mo, W as scheelite); and (c) being able to explain a tendency for certain large Au-Ag systems to occur associated with volatile-rich (e.g.. subduction zone magmas. 3-7 wt% H2O; sodic alkaline magmas, approximately 0.5-1 wt% H2O; C.f., approximately 0.1 wt% H2O in MORB). more mafic/intermediate magma compositions (e.g.. Au skarns, Meinert, 1989; Hollinger-McIntyre, approximately 995 tonnes Au; Ashanti, approximately 710 tonnes Au; Cripple Creek, approximately 590 tonnes. Au; Ladolam, approximately 570 tonnes Au; Porgera, approximately 4 10 tonnes Au; Kerr Addison-Chesterville, - 335 tonnes Au; Emperor, Fiji. approximately 120 tonnes Au). On the basis of well-defined igneous intrusive associations, the typical presence of H2O-CO2 low-salinity ore fluids. and particularly the presence of carbonate (delta C-13 = approximately 4.5 +/- 0.6 parts per thousand) and a chalcophile element association (Au-Ag-S-Fe-Cu-Pb-Zn-Mo-W-As-Sb-Bi-Te) which is very similar to those of Archean. Au-quartz vein. epithermal Au-Ag and Au skarn ore systems, a magmatic origin for Cordilleran Au-quartz vein ore systems may be assessed (e.g., Sierra Nevada Au province, California; approximately 3,150 tonnes Au; Clarke, 1970). This proposal can explain why Archean Au-quartz and, particularly. epithermal Au-Ag systems occur associated with several different magma series such as calc-alkaline, shoshonitic, sodic alkaline with and without Ti-Nb-Ta subduction depletions. and components of the Archean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) association. These series share a common property of being relatively volatile-rich, thus causing magnetic volatile saturation in more mafic compositions before loss of magmatic sulphide. This process is essentially unavoidable, and should have repeated in space and time. Implications for mineral exploration include a justification for-large-tonnage, low-grade. Au targets in, or related to, mafic/intermediate intrusions in Archean terrains (e.g., Moss Lake, N.W. Ontario; diorite hosted, > 65 mtonnes at approximately 1 g/tonne Au: > 65 tonnes Au) and a justification for evaluating mafic, sodic and potassic alkaline complexes.

Gov. Snyder Proposes 599- mile trail to show off Michigan
A 599-mile trail stretching from Detroit's Belle Isle to Wisconsin — connecting existing trails and meandering through the middle part of the Michigan mitten and across its Upper Peninsula — would showcase some of the state's most breathtaking vistas to hikers, snowmobilers and countless other off-road enthusiasts, according to a proposal unveiled Wednesday by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The trail would wind through the state's forested areas and prairies, and through open lands and by waterways, offering year-round recreation to residents and tourists, said Ron Olson, chief of Michigan's parks and recreation division. Read more . . .

My new Bam! violin case in gorgeous metallic blue.
The first violin case that came with the purchase of Sombre Jack in 2001 was pretty compact and light, but had cheap plastic parts and really horrible, uncomfortable thin backstraps. That lasted for until this year when one of the violin instructors accidentally stepped on the case during the school concert and broke the clasp. Not a bad lifespan for a bundled casing lah (but it costs over $200 if you buy it separately!)
I then spent over $270 to get a more durable case that was made in Korea. It's tough alright, but being a big rectangular block with many zips and straps, I got pretty fed up carrying it around town. It was just too bulky, despite providing top notch protection and having plenty of storage space.
So I put in a reservation for a Bam! Hightech Contoured (2002XL) case, which met all my criteria:
Super compact in a triangular form factor and easy to carry around.
Lightweight, at about 1.6kg, made of ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) material which is something like fibreglass.
Looks uber-cool, I mean, I'm really sick of carrying ugly, boxy looking violin cases, or seeing other people carry them. Most young students have no choice but to carry them, since their parents just want to save money and get the cheapest functional stuff. But hey, I'm an adult, I earn my own keep and if my violin doesn't look good, I don't look good. (Still working on the sound quality though!)
The Synwin guys told me that it's hard to get enough stock from Bam, as their factory stock allocation can be both small and unpredictable. Or maybe because it's a French sales tactic, since Bam hails from the land of romance and angry writers.
So when Synwin called me yesterday to say that a partial shipment had arrived, I ran down today to their Marina Square outlet.
Upon seeing the case, released in a gorgeous automobile blue hue I had never seen before (I thought it only came in black and silver), I had no qualms forking over S$770, or frigging double the cost of a usual case. Every component is of pretty high quality – even the strap clasps are hardcore carabiners with screw locks (it's mountain climbing gear quality). I love the two locking clasps, because they are soft-touch yet very secure.
I quickly took pictures of the Bam case because it's gonna get dented and scratched pretty soon, and I foresee many superhero or Doraemon stickers adorning it in the future. If you're buying a violin/cello case, I think you'll like a Bam!

Watch The Amazing Moment Two Gorillas Are Reunited With Their Human Friends!
A moving story of animal sentience and intelligence
Back in 2003, conservationist?Damian Aspinall released two?gorillas into the wild as part of a wider program to re-introduce the animals to their natural habitats. Djalta and Bimms had lived in captivity at the Howletts wild animal park in England until they were set free in?the jungle of Gabon, West Africa.
In the video, Damian, along with his daughter Tansy, decided to pay the pair a visit three years after their release. They searched the riverbanks for hours to find the gorillas, who eventually appeared from behind thick bush. Damian felt nervous and wasn't sure of the reaction he'd get from the gorillas, but he needn't have worried. Djalta and Bimms immediately recognized their old friend, and spent time playing with him.
"It was fantastic to see the greeting I got," said Damian. "I felt such love from them. When they hold you, and ask you to hold them like gorillas do, there's no greater privilege. Bonding with a gorilla is one of life's greatest experiences."
While her Dad was re-aquainting himself with the gorillas he'd said goodbye to three?years earlier, Tansy was waiting in the boat. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Djalta began peering through the trees, looking at Tansy as though he recognized her. But she hadn't seen the gorillas for twelve long years…could it be true?
What happens next is a moving example of animal intelligence and love between two species!

In the last chapter of his new book, The Age of Turbulence, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan says new technology innovations sometimes slow down so much that new machinery and equipment is not worth the investment for corporations.
For example, the fall off in investments after 2000.
"The slow down in innovation is particularly evident in the dramatic swing in corporations' use of their internal cash flow from fixed investment to buybacks of company common stock and cash disbursed to shareholders in the process of implementing mergers and acquisitions."
After citing some investment data, he concludes, "A corporation returns equity capital to shareholders when it cannot find opportunities for prospective risk-adjusted rates of return superior to the rate of return that the corporation returns from existing assets. Large cash disbursements to shareholders are usually a signal of lowered prospective rates of return on fixed investments available to the corporation, the likely result of a slowed pace of profitable new application of innovation."
Wow! Chairman Greenspan tells us corporations sometimes have profits but few capital investment opportunities, so they turn to speculative buying and selling of stocks for implementing mergers and acquisitions. Buying and selling in mergers and acquisitions creates work for lawyers and securities dealers along with speculative opportunities, but it creates nothing new for Americans.
The federal government could sell bonds to finance public projects like the construction of levees for New Orleans and the Mississippi river. Some of the loanable funds that keep going into assorted mergers, acquisitions and other speculations could be redirected to an important public project.
However, public projects mean new taxes to pay interest and principal. Taxes are already high for millions of Americans who oppose new taxes.
If Mr. Greenspan is correct and corporations have profits for speculation while public projects like New Orleans' levees go unfunded, then higher taxes on corporations and lower income and payroll taxes for individuals would decrease America's savings available for speculation and increase America's savings available for public projects.
Notice I did not say it is fair or unfair to change taxes, only that the distribution of income and taxes will change how America saves and invests. Remember savers, the value of your savings depends on the quality of America's investments.
What should we do about taxes? You decide.

In his recent book, The Age of Turbulence, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan discusses savings.
"The shift of shares of world Gross Domestic Product since 2001 from low saving developed countries to higher saving developing countries has increased world saving so much that aggregate growth of savings world wide has greatly exceeded planned investments," he writes. "Or to put it another way, the supply of funds looking for a return on investment has grown faster than investment demand."
His tenure as Federal Reserve Chair began in 1987, so there is also some saving and lending history that he writes about. Speaking of banks in 1987, he says "[they] were in serious trouble."
And what was their problem? "… [Too] much speculative lending; in the early eighties, the major banks had gambled on Latin American debt, and then, as those loans went bad, like amateur gamblers trying to get square they'd bet even more by leading the whole industry into a binge of commercial real estate lending."
Amateur gamblers? Too much real estate lending? Isn't that what we have just been having?
When we save and earn an interest return, we entrust banks and financial intermediaries to use our savings wisely. The best loans for an economy create long lived physical assets.
On the news, I often hear that America's infra-structure needs improving. The levees in New Orleans and now on the Mississippi river need expensive capital improvements.
If banks use loanable funds as amateur gamblers when America needs levees, then it's not just banks that are in serious trouble as Mr. Greenspan mentions.
Remember savers, the more our savings are used to produce new products and new technologies, the more valuable your savings in the future.

Just over a month since dropping their rates to 3.16% APY, WTDirect is increasing their savings account to 3.26% APY.
From the email I got:
As of June 19th (today), WTDirect's Savings Account rate is officially INCREASING to 3.26% APY - This marks the first rate increase in 9 months!! The rate continues to be in the top 5% of all banks.
As far as we can tell, this is not a temporary adjustment like HSBC's 3.50% APY until August 15, so it's great to see more upward motion.
Minimum balance to get into WTDirect is $10,000, so it's not for savers starting out. But once you open it, there's no minimum to avoid fees.
There was a time when it was common for corporations to create long lived assets with borrowing. It may take several years to build a steel mill or a power plant before there is something to sell, but loan or bond payments will come from revenues and the economy will have more steel, more electricity and more assets.
Banks, or financial intermediaries as they are called now, are still happy to make loans for plant and equipment. Trouble is there are more loanable funds to loan than borrowers willing and able to borrow for long lived assets.
As a result, banks make more consumer loans that support consumption spending like credit card debt. Loans that support consumption helps support jobs and the economy and provide an outlet for savers looking to earn interest income. However, credit card purchases like vacations, housewares and clothing have little value as security for credit card balances.
The home mortgage should be a secure loan because a home is a long lived asset. It used to be that Savings and Loans would make mortgage loans at 6 or 7 or 8 percent interest and the home would be the asset in case of default.
Lenders with home mortgages on their books could sell their mortgages if they needed to raise cash but they would tend to hold them to maturity, earning a steady income. In case of selling a mortgage it would usually be sold to another financial institution such as the Federal National Mortgage Association.
That changed when adventurous money managers started to buy thousands of mortgages and bundle them for resale into something like to a bond that pays interest on invested principal. They call them collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO) or collateralized debt obligations (CDO). In that way, mortgages could be resold to smaller investors who would not normally be willing or able to buy individual mortgages.
What is important to notice though is that repackaging and reselling mortgages does not create new assets. Reselling mortgage credit means more transactions that allow money managers to charge management fees and potentially make money with price fluctuations in CDO prices.
Bear Stearns held collateralized debt obligations in their hedge fund, but apparently so many of the underlying mortgages were to people who were sub prime borrowers that defaults set off a chain reaction. Since Bear Stearns borrowed money to buy collateralized debt obligations for their investors, they defaulted on their loans and threatened the solvency of major banks.
With so many new ways for money managers to attract savers, it is more important than ever to notice the underlying assets and ability to pay.
Did Bear Stearns investors know so many of the underlying assets were sub prime loans? Savers beware!

Reminders from Omaha - Goal of Financial Freedom
Everyone wants to invest like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. I was able to find this article talking about the 6 timeless advice offered by Warren Buffett that we should all think about.
I just heard a story on the TV about a guy who wants to sell his gas guzzler and get a high mileage car to cut his gas bill. Trouble is he owes $8,500 on his car loan and all he can get for his guzzler is $3,000.
He loses $5,500.
As all good savers know, he should only sell if he can save a minimum of $5,500 plus interest. According to the United States Department of Transportation, the average passenger car travels 12,400 miles a year and gets 22.4 miles per gallon for gas. That works out to 46 gallons of gas a month with a monthly fuel bill of $184 if we use $4.00 a gallon for the gas.
I regret to say that is probably low, but we will go with it.
Double his gas mileage and he saves $92 a month. Figure a savings of $92 a month for 5 years at 4 percent interest, and the savings is $6,119.84. Sad to say, but the $5,500 he loses would also accumulate interest. If we use the same 4 percent interest over the same 5 years, the total he loses is $6,715.48.
He loses $6,715.48 to save $6,119.84; a net loss.
This particular comparison does not account for the price of the new car, only the loss on the trade. If we assume he is going to own a car, either an old one or a new one, the premature trade represents the loss from not using the remaining life of the old car, which I hypothetically set at 5 years.
Different interest rates or time remaining for the life of the car will affect the result.
However, the most important comparison is the price of gas. Using $5.00 a gallon with the same mileage and interest rate, savings will hit $115 a month with a total of $7,649.80. At $5 a gallon, he can save doubling his mileage. He should trade the car. For those with mileage over the average of 12,400, saving gas money also will be more likely to pay.
I did the calculations on MS Excel using the FV, future value, function. It has a help file. Try it yourself for your exact situation.

ING Direct is rolling out a new advertising campaign and Web site focused on determining how much money you need to retire.
ING Your Number (http://www.ingyournumber.com) is a financial calculator for figuring out "your number" — meaning, the amount of money you need to live at a level you'd like in retirement.
On the Web site, you're given a Flash presentation where you insert six fundamentals for determining your number:
- Current Age
- Marriage Status
- Household Income
- Expected Retirement Age
- Desired Income at Retirement
- Age until you'll need the income
After your number is determined, ING points you to financial professionals whether you have one or you don't.
At first use, it seems helpful — you've got to know where you're going before you can get there. But at the same time, how are you supposed to know how much you'll need to live on in retirement? (It may not be the 80% often quoted.)
And, more importantly, how can I figure out when I'm going to die? (Death clocks not withstanding)
Now that ING owns ShareBuilder, it makes sense for them to be making a bigger deal out of investing for the future. We'll see how long the "your number" campaign plays out.
Americans $1.7 trillion poorer — CNNMoney.com
Americans saw their net worth decline by $1.7 trillion in the first quarter - the biggest drop since 2002 - as declines in home values and the stock market ravaged their holdings.
Meanwhile, the amount of equity people have in their homes fell to 46.2%, the lowest level ever.
The net worth of U.S. households fell 3% to $56 trillion at the end of March, according to the Federal Reserve's flow of funds report, which was released Thursday.
Wowzas, right?
Some of this is obviously inflated, since falling housing prices (which were off the scale during the bubble) made up $305 billion of the decline. But the news isn't that encouraging.
At the same time, there are now more than 1 million homes in foreclosure.
Are you a part of the net worth decline? Even if your home value has dropped, is your net worth (outside of real estate) doing the same?
Leave a comment and tell us.
Saving is easy, especially when you pay yourself first. With automatic transfers and recurring investments, you barely have to think about pocketing money for the future.
But where should your money go? Should it be for the short term or saved for retirement?
This is the question you need to answer.
Like Dave Ramsey's debt snowball, there are some layers to your savings; hence, the savings onion.
Our savings onion started with an emergency fund. It's the place to fund first since you never know when you will need it. We live with 3 months of expenses in our emergency fund, since we are also saving for a house in a liquid savings account.
If you're getting started, reach for a goal of $1,000 in your emergency fund. It won't help you for too long if you lose your job, but will cover any emergencies that pop up (and they do).
After we got 3 months of expenses in our emergency fund, we stopped contributing money. We've used it when our windshield cracked thanks to a rock in the road, but thankfully, that's it.
The next step of our savings onion is retirement accounts. At work, I began contributing 6% of my salary to a 401(k) — enough to get my employer match. When I got a raise, I automatically bumped it up to 10%. If I never see the money, I can't spend it!
To increase our retirement savings, we each opened up Roth IRAs. We started out only contributing $100 per month each, but have been able to increase our monthly savings and were able to fill up the accounts.
The Roth IRA contributions were automatic — no need to manually make the transfer. With that layer of savings going, we moved on to the next step: saving for a specific goal.
In our case, we're saving for a house. Since we wanted to be aggressive hitting this goal, we set up automatic transfers from our checking account to a new online savings account — for a year. Our first year of autopilot savings was a huge success — in addition to the money being put away automatically, we transferred every extra penny at the end of the month into the account.
Thanks to the "extra" savings at the end of each month, we were able to triple what our automatic deposits would have contributed during the normal year.
Starting with the outside, here's what our saving onion looks like:
Specific Goal (a House)
Roth IRAs
Emergency Fund
What does your saving onion look like?
Savers usually think saving means saving and investing money. Some people save all sorts of things, which is why I happen to have the complete federal income tax forms and tax schedule for 1975, even though I am not the one who saved it.
I think 1975 taxes have relevance today because I saw an article in The Washington Post on May 15th entitled "Democrats War-Funding Bill Adds Surtax on Wealthy." Someone in Congress called it the "Patriots Premium."
The Patriots Premium would tax couples earning $1 million dollars or more at a new tax rate which is one half percent higher than the current rate. For single people, the half percent applied to income over $500,000.
Current tax rates call for couples earning over $349,000 to pay a top tax rate of 35 percent so the new tax rate must be 35.5 percent on wage and salary income. If we take a couple earning $1 million and we apply a new 35.5 percent rate to gross income of $1 million, they will pay $31,980 dollars more than they are liable for now.
The calculation uses two exemptions, the standard deduction and also assumes the couple earns all their income as wages and salaries and therefore without dividends taxed at lower rates.
In 1975, couples paid a 70 percent tax rate on every dollar of taxable earnings over $200,000. Today's top tax rate is just half of what it was in 1975.
Now we all know there has been lots of inflation since 1975 so that $1 million today is not the same as $1 million in 1975. Actually, the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index (CPI-U_RS) shows a 342 percent increase since 1975.
If we adjust the $1 million today to compare with 1975, the result is $292,397.66. We could also say $292,397.66 of income in 1975 is the equivalent to $1 million of income in 2007.
Compare the 2007 income tax for a couple who earns $1 million with the income tax for a couple earning $292,397.66 in 1975. Today's couple above would pay $318,461.00 of taxes. That is 31.85 percent of $1 million gross income.
Apply the 1975 taxes to the 1975 equivalent of $292,397.66. The 1975 tax comes to $173,838.36. The amount is 59.3 percent of gross income. Apparently Congress and the country had much different ideas about the duties and tax responsibilities of the well-to-do in 1975.
The proposal to raise the rate from 35 to 35.5 percent is to fund educational benefits for returning Iraq veterans, but it has outspoken opposition and it is not expected to pass. The times they are a changing.
What about that, savers?

text: "Clair de Lune" is one of the most recognisable pieces of the piano repertoire (thanks to many television adverts) and was written by French composer Claude Debussy. Clair de Lune (or Moonlight) is the 3rd movement from his Suite Bergamasque for solo piano and is an atmospheric piece of music, in what is called the composer's "impressionist" style. You should play it rubato (with a gently impulsive rather than a strict tempo), and let the musical ideas flow and grow. The complete "Suite Bergamasque" for piano, consisting of four movements in total, is available in a number of editions including these from Sheet Music Plus and The Music Room.
