Peter Schiff: What's Suppressing The Price Of Gold
The second installment of Peter Schiff's Gold Videocast for 2015 is out on YouTube. And Euro Pacific Capital's Schiff shared his thoughts about what's been suppressing the price of gold these days. He told viewers:
ObamaCare forces employers to provide insurance for full-time employees. As a result, employers are hiring more part-time workers than they normally would. And that is substantially influencing these numbers. In fact, the real reason that we have such a low unemployment rate and we're creating so many jobs, is because people are in effect sharing their job. We have a job sharing program…
Traders are ignoring all of the bad economic data that they should be focusing on, and instead just remaining fixated on the job numbers. And I think they are in position to be blindsided when the economy turns around…
So for now, it's the false belief that the economy is strong, and that the Fed is going to raise rates- based on a misunderstanding of what the jobs' numbers really mean- that is keeping a lid on the price of gold.
"False belief" plays an additional role in lower gold prices at this time, says Schiff. He added:
One other thing that is happening that should be lifting the prices of gold which is inflationary monetary policies all over the world. You know, more and more central banks are reducing their interest rates, launching their QE programs. Gold prices are rising in terms of those currencies. But the fact that everybody believes the dollar, the U.S. is going to be the lone holdout in the easy money parade- that is what's keeping gold prices from really going ballistic…
I think we're going to be leading that parade. Not only are we not going to raise interest rates or not raise them substantially- maybe we get a trivial rate hike although even there I think it's more likely that we won't. But we are going to be launching a new QE program- the Mother Of All QEs…
And when the markets realize this, then it's going to be like taking the lid off the pressure cooker when it comes to the price of gold. And it's going to be rising sharply. In the meantime, I continue to encourage people to accumulate as much physical gold and silver as they can before the rest of the financial community wakes up to this reality, and they're rushing to buy these metals at much higher prices.

Thoughts On Chicago Home Invader Yelling 'Fire! Fire!'
"According to the FBI, nearly 50,000 robberies within residences (the bureau's classification for home invasions, not all of which involve violent entry) occurred in 2011, or about 135 per day…"
-NBC News website, September 9, 2014
Beware of the following. From Chicago's ABC 7 website back on January 27:
Police are warning residents of a pair of home invasions on Chicago's Far Northwest Side.
Authorities said a man broke into two homes, one in the 3800-block of North Pacific Avenue around 1:20 p.m. on Jan. 19 and one in the 6700-block of North Oxford Avenue around 2:50 p.m. on Jan. 21.
In each incident, police said the suspect forced his way through the front door, yelled, "Fire! Fire!" and ran out.
The suspect then got into a dark-colored vehicle driven by someone else and took off…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
You can read the rest of that article here, which doesn't give an explanation for why the home invader spent the time and effort breaking into these residences- only to shout "Fire!" on both occasions, then leave. Note the following comment on the piece though:
This is just bizarre; I think there's more to this story than the article lets on. If they do find this guy, they definitely need to get him psychiatric help since he's clearly mentally ill…
"Mentally ill." Perhaps. But consider this alternative. The home invader broke into these homes, discovered he wasn't alone, and in an effort to create confusion for a rapid escape, the "Caucasian or Hispanic man in his late 20s" subsequently yelled "Fire! Fire!". Under these circumstances, it would have been easy for the (almost) victims to mistake the intruder as some Good Samaritan at first and set about checking the premises for fire before realizing what really happened.
Mentally ill? How about "fast-thinker" or "smart criminal"?

Chicago School Of Wilderness Skills Offering Survival Basics, Fire Building Classes On February 28
Chicago-area blog readers may have noticed local content has been somewhat heavy on nearby survival-related training opportunities lately.
I hope you've enjoyed finding out about them as much as I have.
Back on January 9, I blogged about Chris Mayor and the Chicago School Of Wilderness Skills, and some instruction they were scheduled to provide earlier this month. Looking at the school's "Calendar Of Events" page last week, I noticed two classes being offered on the last day February. From the calendar:
survival basics
Saturday, February 28, 2015
introduction on the essentials: fire, water, shelter, and food. How to plan a successful trip. We'll also discuss gear and getting properly outfitted for deep woods camping. class cost 25$
we're meeting at 10:00 am at the heartland cafe and traveling to our destination. contact us to reserve a spot
In addition to basic survival training, the school will be offering instruction on a potentially life-saving skill particularly for this time of year in this part of the country. Also from the calendar:
fire building
Saturday, February 28, 2015
In this class students will learn a variety of ways to start a fire in a survival or wilderness setting,
the class will cover making charcloth and punkwood and how to use them in combination with a flint and steel. we'll discuss gathering fatwood , identifying various stones that spark when stuck with steel, proper safety, and what to do in worst case situations. location to be disclosed students should bring an altoids tin as well as a piece of cotton fabric or denim. class cost 25$ contact us to reserve a spot
Looking at Dabble.co (not .com), where information about the school's classes can also be found, it shows only 8 spots left for Survival Basics and 6 places available for Fire Building as I type this.
In early March, I see a Flint Knapping workshop and Field First Aid class on the calendar. Lots of interesting and useful instruction coming out of the Chicago School Of Wilderness Skills these days, which you can learn more about on their website here.

Illinois Bill Would Legalize Firearm Suppressor Use
"By definition, the primary role of a suppressor is to reduce the overall sound signature of the host firearm to hearing safe levels. They do so by trapping the expanding gasses at the muzzle and allowing them to slowly cool, in a similar fashion to car mufflers. Their muffling capabilities intrinsically make them a hearing protection device for both the shooter and those around them."
-American Suppressor Association website
Illinois firearm owners might be interested in the following. Brian Brueggemann reported on the Belleville News-Democrat website last Friday:
Hunters and other shooting enthusiasts would be allowed to have silencers on their guns under a bill filed in the Illinois legislature.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Brandon Phelps, D-Harrisburg, said gun owners want silencers for a simple reason: to avoid hearing loss.
"There are a lot of veterans, a lot of hunters and shooters, who have suffered hearing loss," Phelps said.
Phelps acknowledged that gun opponents are likely to challenge the bill.
"I'm used to that. They said that about concealed-carry — they said everybody was going to be running around shooting each other, like the wild west," Phelps said. "That's the movies."
Firearm suppressors (or sound suppressors and silencers as they're also known) are highly-regulated in the United States. J. Guthrie reported on the Guns & Ammo website back on May 13, 2012:
If you lived in Scotland, they would be required for hunting. If you lived in Finland you could saunter down to the local gun shop and buy one over the counter—one more reason to like Finland. In the U.S., suppressors are regulated by the National Firearms Act and you have to first make sure they are legal in your state, fill out a federal form and send it, a couple of photos and some fingerprints into the BATFE for approval. Once approved—the process can take six or seven months—the BATFE sends you a little stamp and some paperwork and you can take possession of the suppressor from you dealer. There are legal considerations for interstate transportation and transferring the suppressor too…
The suppressor legislation sponsored by Phelps is Illinois House Bill 433 (you can check on its status here). State Senator Bill Haine (D-Alton) has filed the same bill in the Senate.

Ebola Virus Mutating
A lot of people are writing off the threat posed by the Ebola virus these days. I, for one, still remain skeptical. And with good reason. Tulip Mazumdar reported on the BBC website yesterday:
Scientists tracking the Ebola outbreak in Guinea say the virus has mutated.
Researchers at the Institut Pasteur in France, which first identified the outbreak last March, are investigating whether it could have become more contagious.
More than 22,000 people have been infected with Ebola and 8,795 have died in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Scientists are starting to analyse hundreds of blood samples from Ebola patients in Guinea.
They are tracking how the virus is changing and trying to establish whether it's able to jump more easily from person to person…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Colin Freeman added on the website of The Telegraph (UK) yesterday:
On Thursday they warned that it was still too early in their research to say whether mutations in the virus thus far would lead to more lethal or infectious strains.
But Dr Anavaj Sakuntabhai, an Oxford-educated geneticist involved in the research, said that claims that the virus might move from being fluid-borne to airborne – and potentially much more infectious – were a near-scientific impossibility.
That theory was voiced last October by Anthony Banbury, the head of the United Nations mission on Ebola, who said it was a "nightmare scenario' but that it "could not be ruled out".
However, Mr Sakuntabhai told The Telegraph: "I don't think is likely. For any pathogen (agent of disease) to change its mode of transmission would it means they would have to adapt to a completely different environment." He likened it to a fish developing lungs or a human growing gills.
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
"He likened it to a fish developing lungs.."
Something that happened 375 million years ago, as the Natural History Museum in London points out on their website:
A few species of fish were the first creatures to evolve lungs.
Arapaima, from the Amazon River, is an example of a fish that evolved a lung-like gas bladder to supplement the oxygen from its gills.
About 375 million years ago, land-living animals began to evolve from a species of lobe-finned fish. All animals with lungs share this common ancestor. This species is now extinct, but the living lungfish are close relatives.
Yep. As much as I'd like to, I wouldn't be celebrating the demise of this bout of Ebola just yet.

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner To Push Drastic Spending Cuts, Sales Tax Hike In Near Future?
Some local news outlets have been giving new Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner a hard time lately, claiming he's still in "campaign mode" and not providing much in the way of tackling the state's economic ills.
But yesterday, Illinoisans got a glimpse of one potential measure the Winnetka businessman may turn to for improving the state's finances. Jessie Hellmann and Ray Long reported on the Chicago Tribune website Thursday:
Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner pressed a bit harder Thursday for an expansion of the Illinois sales tax as part of an agenda to right the state's financial ship.
Using charts and graphs, Rauner explained how surrounding states use broader-based sales taxes than Illinois to take advantage of growing service economies. "We're not competitive," Rauner said.
The idea of expanding the state's sales tax base to include services, such as on auto repairs, dog grooming or haircuts, has been debated in Illinois since the late 1980s. Expansion efforts repeatedly have stalled in the face of heavy resistance, but Rauner outlined how he thinks Illinois is "out of balance" with other states.
"We are not thoughtful about this," Rauner said, adding that the Illinois sales tax is too high and too narrowly applied.
Expanding the sales tax is one of the few items Rauner repeatedly has mentioned as a part of an unspecific overhaul of the entire tax code, saying Illinois can't "just nibble around the edges."
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
It's going to take a whole lot more than a sales tax hike to turn around the state's economic fortunes. And Governor Rauner knows that.
So what other measures could be on his agenda for the near-term?
Rich Miller discussed the governor's visit to the University of Chicago on January 22 and wrote on the Crain's Chicago Business website the following day:
What is crystal clear is that he won't ask for any more revenues without first making deep and even drastic cuts.
The new governor pointed to flat population growth and flat job growth as the roots of the problem.
Without "booming" growth, he said, Illinois can never dig itself out of the hole it's in. And Rauner always HAS said that high taxes are a hindrance to growth.
Rauner singled out two items for his chopping block. First up, Medicaid spending.
"When you realize our job growth is flat, how do you pay for it?," Rauner said of Medicaid. "I want to do that, but that is not sustainable." Medicaid, which pays for everything from childbirth to nursing home care, consumes a quarter of the state's operating budget, and despite some real reforms almost two years ago, costs are continuing to rise. And that's a problem when next fiscal year's budget deficit is being pegged at a whopping $9 billion.
Rauner also claimed state employees make too much money, saying they earn more than private sector workers (which AFSCME rejects, pointing to a recent University of Illinois study) and are the third-highest paid in the country. The number of state workers is declining, Rauner noted, but payroll costs are still increasing. Their health insurance is based on "low contributions" from workers, but has a high cost. So, while workers aren't chipping in much, "you're chipping in a lot," he told his audience…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
"Deep and even drastic cuts." "Expansion of the Illinois sales tax."
It will be interesting to watch how Illinois Democrats- who hold veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly- react to such proposals if Governor Rauner goes this route.
This could get ugly real quick…

Girlfriend's Doctor Visit: 'Are Firearms Stored In Your Home?'
The other day, my girlfriend went to see her physician in the Chicago suburbs for a routine check-up. Upon arriving, she was handed some paperwork to fill out- including a sheet of questions that didn't look like it originated from the doctor's office. At the top of the page was my girlfriend's name already printed out along with a QR code (that bar code –like thing that smart phones can read), immediately followed by a series of health questions.
Mixed in with those health-related questions was one about seatbelt use. And smoke detectors in the home. Finally, there was this:
Are firearms stored in your home?
Like I said, according to my girlfriend, that page of questions didn't look like it came from her doctor. Which makes me wonder- who is behind this effort then, and what are they planning to do with the responses to the questions (particularly the one about guns stored in the home)?
For a while now, I've known more gun "control" was going to be attempted via the public health (backdoor) route due to recent, well-publicized setbacks on the national level. I suspect this questionnaire (and others like it) are a part of that effort.

Illinois Debt Crisis Latest: $9 Billion Annual Deficit, $159 Billion In IOUs
Illinois residents are waking up to disturbing news this morning. From the "Press Room" over on the website of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois:
Illinois faces $9 billion annual deficit and $159 billion in IOUs
New analysis (PDF) by the Fiscal Futures Project finds no easy fix to Illinois' chronic fiscal imbalance. Illinois now faces a $9 billion annual deficit that will grow to $14 billion by FY 2026.
"Years of pay-later budgeting has resulted in a massive imbalance between sustainable revenue and spending," said Richard Dye, co-director of the Fiscal Futures Project. "Like a person in deep credit card debt, the state has been spending more than it can afford, and is covering the gap by issuing IOUs." The report finds that the state's IOUs now total $159 billion—more than twice the inflow of revenue in a single year. It's a monumental problem that will require a long-term fiscal plan that includes tax increases, spending cuts, and economic growth.
The report, Apocalypse Now? The Consequences of Pay-Later Budgeting in Illinois, examines what it would take to balance the budget. The options are limited.
• Bringing back the 2011 tax increase would close only about one-half of the gap projected for the next several years.
• The problem cannot be solved with spending cuts alone. Because Illinois can't cut debt service or pension payments, it would take at least a 20 percent cut of all remaining spending to eliminate the deficit. This includes education, corrections, Medicaid, public safety, transportation, and more.
• Economic growth is also not a cure-all: an increase in the growth rate of personal income by an extra one-half percent every year for 10 years (an optimistic scenario) would only have a modest effect on the deficit.
The report concludes: "Changes in awareness, expectations, and policy are needed to restore fiscal balance in Illinois. Being saddled with paying past years' bills means that today, Illinoisans must reduce their expectations for the services that they can expect from government and be prepared to pay more for government, now and in the future."
(Editor's notes: Bold added for emphasis)
Like I blogged a week ago:
A lot less government services. Much higher fees, fines and taxes.
An outcome I see for Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois residents down the road.
And plenty of Illinoisans wonder why their neighbors are high-tailing it out of the "Land of Lincoln."

Gabe Suarez Pens Follow-Up To 'Today, Every Man Is A Counter Terrorist'
Last Friday, I blogged about a Facebook post by Gabe Suarez, head of The Suarez Group and a decorated veteran of Southern California law enforcement, in which he talked about the recent terrorist events in Paris, France. Suarez called upon readers to take up arms and become counter-terrorists. On January 12, a follow-up was published on The Suarez Group's Facebook page. Suarez made some observations about terrorist events in the past year and wrote:
At every terror event, whether motivated by insane religions, or simply a lack of fastidious medication, there have been plenty of everyday "people". And I suspect there have been a few there whose initial reaction was not to cower and to shrink from the face of evil. I suspect their initial reaction was anger. Yet unarmed by their observance of social norms, they were without the effective means to act on their natural fighter's inclinations. And they were forced by decree, into victimhood.
But dangerous times (such as those we live in today, exemplified most recently by France), call for dangerous measures. Normally those measures should be taken by those who govern, but, well…let's not waste our time with that dead end.
I call for every man and woman that has been outraged by the events at Charlie Hebdo in Paris to take steps to be their own rescuer…their own counter terrorist. The skill of these self-motivated killers is not as high as the uninformed commentators on CNN would have us think. Are they practiced? Certainly, but they are not invulnerable. Witness how many photographs have been taken, not only of the Paris Terrorists, but of all terrorists and active shooters. A photograph is the same as a bullet…and those shots would not have been difficult to make.
I call for every capable man and woman in the west to arm themselves and carry weapons with them every single place they go where a Lone Wolf-Home Grown – Islamic Terrorist may strike. If you simply cannot obtain a firearm…at least get a knife. Sure it may be against regulations, but do you think the dead in Paris might have traded getting into trouble over getting killed for drawing a cartoon?
I challenge every man and woman who rails at the thought of hiding under a desk while a mad man roams freely, killing with an already illegal rifle, to train themselves to a level of skill suitable for killing that terrorist…for killing him with a knife from behind, or for shooting him right in his open mouth as he spews his first announcement of who he is and why he is there.
I challenge every citizen of every western nation who said, "Enough!", or "I Am Charly", to get off the couch and train. To become physically fit in strength and agility. To develop marksmanship skills. To develop the will and the aggression necessary to affect change in the opening moments of a planned mass slaughter. To develop the mind set and attitude to kill the terrorist, unannounced, from behind, from the darkness, from the most unexpected sector, and thereby saving his intended victims.
Only when this becomes the norm, when images of a dead terrorist flash across Facebook and Twitter…with a tight group of pistol bullets in his face, fired by a common man or woman who decided to not die quietly that day – rather than a police officer executed on the sidewalk…will the tide begin to change.
Do not fear the terrorist…the terrorist must learn to fear you.
Rather than "I am Charly", let the unifying cry be this –
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
As the scourge of terrorism grows uglier in the coming years, Suarez's call to arms will undoubtedly be echoed by others.

Gabe Suarez: 'Today, Every Man Is A Counter Terrorist'
Because I'm busy compiling new "Resources Of The Week" for 2015, there's won't be a post from that series tonight.
But I also wanted to share with Survival And Prosperity readers before the week was out something I read earlier this evening on the Facebook page of The Suarez Group ("a multi-national corporation involved the study and application of high end weapons, and leading edge tactics, for students of the art of personal combat").
I first mentioned Gabe Suarez, head of The Suarez Group and a decorated veteran of Southern California law enforcement, on this blog back in my April 28, 2011, post entitled, "The Next Mumbai-Style Terrorist Attack." I wrote back then:
If an American Mumbai occurs, I'm guessing it will go down in a high-profile, internationally-known city whose residents/workers are likely to be unarmed and incapable of defending themselves against rampaging terrorists with automatic weapons- like my hometown of Chicago.
Still, it doesn't hurt for Americans outside of the "Windy City" to prepare for such an event. Consider what Gabe Suarez, a decorated veteran of Southern California law enforcement and president of the personal safety training outfit Suarez International, wrote in his blog Warrior Talk News on May 6, 2010:
Put yourself in the enemy's shoes….err, sandals…..which option would YOU pick? Which offers the easiest implementation, least chance for detection, greatest chance for success – bombs or bullets?
The mass shooting and not the improvised and unsuccessful bomb is the "easy button", and that fact cannot be ignored by us as it will not be overlooked by the enemy.
So what do we do?
1). We must identify who the enemy is. Please go back and peruse the list of events above, both failed and successful. What is the common thread connecting the attackers?
2). Carry your gun everywhere…..a REAL fighting gun….not some sissy "suitable for CCW" 5 shot "self defense gun".
The times are not such that concern over a mugger is the issue anymore. Carry extra ammo with you. It is not difficult at all to carry a full sized pistol with a couple of extra magazines. I have done so since 1983.
These are not the times to be seeking political correctness over public safety. It is not the time to fear false labels created and assigned by the mass media. The Israelis learned that lesson long ago. After all is said and done, it is better to be a live "intolerant racist" (as the MSM would call us) than a dead "co-existing", tolerant "paragon of political correctness". I suspect that had Shahzad's bomb been successful, lots of tolerant, "co-exist" types would have died right alongside us "intolerant racists". The times call for careful profiling and suspicious curiosity as well as daily preparation.
Dress everyday as if you had a business meeting in Mumbai on 26 November 2008 with a bunch of Jews, Christians, and atheist Americans at a cafe right across the street from the Jihad School Of Terrorism.
Be ready or be a victim.
"Be ready or be a victim." Great words to live by.
No holds barred, right? Anyway, Suarez wrote the following yesterday concerning tactical matters related to the terrorism in France:
So consider the following – if you can, be armed always. Yes…I know. But consider the implications. Of the ten dead civilians in France, how many would have willingly disobeyed unconscionable laws in order to stay alive? If it is difficult, learn to conceal the weapon better. At the very least have a knife with which to stab a terrorist to death.
And stabbing a man to death is an exercise in extreme violence. It is not some strip mall karate school exercise done with high school kids to get in shape. It is violent and sudden and what the body does in its final moments will shock you…maybe, if you haven't gotten your mind right about such matters.
If you look like the King Of Comedy rather than the King Of the Cage, put down the f*cking remote and get your ass in fighting shape. The terrorist coming to kill you has taken his fitness seriously…do you think he is kidding?
If you are armed your life is easier. Resist the temptation to leave the real sized fighting gun at home and go forth with some "civilian friendly metro sexual" pistol. Anyone can carry a full sized fighting pistol with a little fore thought and care in dressing for the weapon.
Consider that a terrorist event like what we saw in France is not the same as a CCW self defense encounter with concerns over legality, disparity of force, or liability. The moment that it is a terrorist event, all other concerns are non-issues. And a man or men with masks and rifles classifies as that.
Learn to shoot accurately at distance. There were guys photographing and videotaping the assassination of the French police officer. A good practiced hand with a proper pistol might have killed one or both of those terrorists at the distance.
There will be no warnings, no posting and challenging, only recognition of threat and escalation of violence…or as I term it, "getting ahead" of the fight by shooting. Learn to shoot faces and necks at room distances. Yes, there is a chance you will be killed by the terrorist…but you will be killed anyway.
And how do you want to look for the Crime Scene photos?
Under a desk hiding with a terrified look on your face and a back full of 7.62×39 rounds, or a smiling corpse on a mountain of brass and dead terrorists? I pray if I am given that choice I will be the guy in the second image. But….but, you might not be either one. You might survive and win if you are decisive enough, accurate enough, and violent enough.
Let us all be those things.
"A smiling corpse on a mountain of brass and dead terrorists"
Classic Suarez. And several points I, for one, will be left thinking about this weekend.

Project Prepper, Part 31: How Much, How Long For Survival Needs?
The other week in the "Project Prepper" series of posts I talked about where the project stood after two years in the works. I blogged:
I decided my preparedness education and activities will focus on a prioritized list of six "innate survival needs" (hat tip Jack Spirko @ The Survival Podcast). This includes:
1. Security
2. Water
3. Food
4. Shelter
5. Sanitation and Health
6. Energy
I went on to discuss the status of each "need."
While working the past two years on meeting these "needs," questions arose about "how much?" and "how long?" For example, concerning water- do I settle for just having 72 hours of an emergency supply on hand (like what Uncle Sam recommends)? Or do I aim higher, taking into consideration potential emergencies I might realistically encounter living here in the northwest suburbs of Chicago?
I knew settling for "just enough" wouldn't cut it. As I wrote the other week concerning water:
At present, my girlfriend and I have close to a week-and-a-half supply of emergency water each (based on federal government guidelines of one gallon per person per day). Even though this is significantly more than Uncle Sam's 72-hour recommendation, I'm not comfortable with this amount.
And regarding emergency food:
Taking advantage of price drops and gift cards, my girlfriend and I scored a relatively-inexpensive 1-week supply of high-quality freeze-dried meals each. Like with the water though, I'd like to increase that amount commensurate with the potential emergencies I've identified.
Mountain House Classic Buckets- breakfast/lunch/dinner for 3.5 days per bucket
Thankfully, after listening to the November 19, 2014, episode of The Survival Podcast, I now have a better idea of "how much?" and "how long?" might be required to tackle those needs. Incorporating Spirko's suggestions from episode 1468, "The World Won't End but Your World Could," with his six "innate survival needs," we have:
1. Security
2. Water- 30 days for all needs (drinking, cooking, bathing, etcetera)
3. Food- 30 to 60 days without complete boredom (variety of food that we already eat and actually think is tasty)
4. Shelter- Ability to keep home "sound" after suffering non-catastrophic damage
5. Sanitation and Health- Ability to deal with wastes for 30 days. Ability to treat basic injuries and illnesses.
6. Energy- Ability to deal with initial power loss in 5 to 10 minutes. Then, power for 14 days to cover basic needs and comfort.
I'm a lot more comfortable with these targets. I just have to remember that any preps will have to be for two adults (girlfriend and me).
Still, I want to review potential emergencies/disasters we realistically face here in the Chicagoland area/Midwest/United States, and "tweak" the above accordingly.
More next time…

Report: Warriors aren't giving up on the Dwight dream
Feb 18, 2012, 11:00 AM EDT
The Warriors are not storming the gates of playoff heaven. They're barely within sight of the pearly wrought iron structures that guard May and June at 11-16, on a two-game losing streak after some progress this month.

There are people saying that Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lin can't coexist. But in the final minutes of the first loss in the Linsanity era Friday night, the Knicks really needed Carmelo Anthony.

Mark Cuban says if Jeremy Lin played in Charlotte nobody would notice

Cash-strapped Zimbabwe is appealing for donations from the international community to support the requirements for the country's electoral spending as its finance minister revealed this week the South African nation only has $US217 left in its coffers.
Tendai Biti, Zimbabwe's Finance Minister, announced this week the country's public account only has $US217 left as cash on hand in the bank, after paying off its obligations to its civil servants last week.
"Last week when we paid civil servants there was $US217 (left) in government coffers," Mr Biti told journalists in the capital Harare.
However, in an interview with the BBC, he said the government received some $30 million of revenue the following day, of which he did not disclose the sources.
Still, Mr Biti said the financial influx would not be enough to support the needed funding for an electoral proceeding to push through this year.
At least $104 million is needed to organise the polls this year, according to Zimbabwe's elections agency.
"We will be approaching the international community to assist us in this regard...The government has no money for elections...It's important that government should also do something," Mr Biti said.
"The government finances are in a paralysis state at the present moment," he said.
Although the Zimbabwe economy is forecast to grow 5.0 per cent, its public finances remain a mess. Moreover, local businesses continue to struggle against unstable electricity supplies, lack of liquidity and high labour costs.
"The minister's statement is indicative of the very difficult situation in the country. It shows the economy really is in the intensive care unit. We have a very small formal economy so the space where minister Biti can raise resources is limited. And we should ask where certain revenues are going," McDonald Lewanika, director of the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, was quoted by The Guardian.
Mr Biti, along with Patrick Chinamasa, Zimbabwe's Justice Minister, have been tasked to source money from international donors, according to the government-run Herald newspaper.

Hi all, First, let me state that I am in no way an authority where this is concerned, so maybe it's the height of stupidity that I should even try. Here's the problem: my HD picture needs a slight adjustment in vertical position (Mitsubishi WS-65511). I have made a few slight adjustments to the color decoding in the service menu before based on an owner's thread that provided the procedure for fixing the red push, but that was about as high level as you can get ("push this button, then advance the number to this using this other button, then push yet another button to save"). I also recorded the original settings just in case. Back to my question. I obtained a service manual for this RPTV, with the hopes of finding a setting to adjust the vertical position. I believe it is the V-POS setting under the JNGL function menu, which is currently set to 31 (range 0-63). But when I change the number (with an overscan pattern from DVE displayed), the picture jumps slightly, but does not change position. What am I missing? On a side note, the service manual provides the initial settings (factory default?) for everything. I noticed that many settings that have never been touched are currently set differently on my RPTV than in the manual, and there are even additional settings not detailed in the manual at all. Is it possible that changing any one setting affects others? What about changing settings in the user menu (brightness, contrast, etc)... can that effect the settings in the service menu? Maybe an updated version of the manual that reflects a revised firmware? Thanx!

The standard says that given a declaration of
inline void foo();
foo is an inline function with external linkage (because by default all function declarations have external linkage). This strikes me as odd. because the one definition rule section 3.2 (in both C++03 and C++11) say:
3 ... An inline function shall be defined in every translation unit in which it is used.
5 There can be more than one definition of a[n] ... inline function with external linkage (7.1.2) ... Given such an entity named D defined in more than one translation unit ... each definition of D shall consist of the same sequence of tokens
This means that an inline function might as well have internal linkage, because use of the function in any way through external linkage (that is, across translation units) would be to invoke undefined behavior (by paragraph 3), and that the content of the inline function in all translation units needs to be the same.
Is there a backwards compatability or specific toolchain reason for this rule?

St. Bernard DA begins diversion program for first-time drug, alcohol defendants
- Plan to help some first-time offenders
Three months into his term, St. Bernard Parish's new district attorney has implemented a court diversion program designed to let some first-time offenders keep drug and alcohol charges off their record if they pursue counseling and treatment. St. Bernard may be the last parish in Louisiana to implement such a program, after a wave of similar initiatives began taking effect around the state starting about 25 years ago.
The program, which has the support of the Sheriff's Office, requires participants to undergo a screening and treatment as well as submit to drug tests. If someone participating in it slips up — say, by failing a drug test — the criminal case against him would instead move to trial. It's an approach that's different from drug court, where a defendant pleads guilty to a crime and undergoes treatment if it's found that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crime. Instead, the diversion program will allow some first-time offenders to undergo treatment in exchange for avoiding a criminal charge altogether.
The program is one that "should've been done years ago," said District Attorney Perry Nicosia, a former state judge. Nicosia won a three-way race to succeed Jack Rowley, who died last year after 35 years as St. Bernard DA. If prosecutors find that an arrest for a misdemeanor, such as a theft, was driven by a drug or alcohol dependency, Nicosia hopes the program will help the defendant tackle that problem so that he or she can potentially avoid committing another crime.
In another change since taking office, Nicosia has implemented a "no-drop policy," meaning that if victims in domestic violence cases later try to have the charges dropped, prosecutors will still press ahead even without their cooperation.
"What that allows is to make sure that they're found guilty even if the victim says, 'I don't want to testify,' " he said.
Rowley at times drew criticism for bringing so few criminal cases to trial in St. Bernard. Some observers charged that he was too quick to plea-bargain with defendants, in part because he often accepted cases without taking a hard look at their merits and then ended up with some weak ones.
The new diversion program is different from just dismissing charges, Nicosia said. "It's more work," he said. "It's more involved."
Getting through the program's requirements won't be easy, and the stakes are high, he said. "If they fail a drug test or go back to drinking alcohol, we take them to trial; we go after them and we make sure we get a guilty verdict," Nicosia said. "You've got to have a little teeth in the programs."
Cases will be handled on an individual basis, depending on the offense. A first-time offender arrested for possession of a small amount of marijuana, for example, may be ordered to undergo random drug tests, attend substance-abuse courses and stay on probation for six months to a year. The defendant will be assessed the costs involved in paying for the program, including drug tests and other fees. For marijuana and theft charges, that may be near $400. "That's going to get them the treatment, evaluation, drug testing that they need," Nicosia said. "That's compared to, if you're found guilty of marijuana, the court will generally issue a fine and court costs," perhaps $600. A drunk-driving charge may cost about $1,500.
So far, his office has been seeing about 80 marijuana charges each month, half typically from first-time offenders.
Nicosia said his office has about 21 employees, but he expects that number to rise once the diversion program is in full swing. "It's not only cheaper, but it gets to the problem," he said. "It gets to what's going on with this person, why they have this dependency or why they're stealing or why they're committing domestic violence."
St. Bernard Sheriff James Pohlmann supports the initiative. "Particularly when you're talking about people in their late teens, early 20s, sometimes a good person makes a bad decision, and this (program) creates an opportunity for them to try to get things cleared up or fix their problems," he said.
For a young person, a criminal record may pose a problem when trying to enroll in college, enlist in the military or find a job, he said.
"Nobody wants to be a drug addict," he said. "And if you have a mechanism in place to get those people help, that's an incentive for them to get help to try to get their life back on track."
Pete Adams, the head of the Louisiana District Attorney Association, says it's possible St. Bernard was the last place in Louisiana that didn't already have a diversion program in place. While the aim is to help keep people from making the same mistakes twice, Adams said, the programs are not without political risk.
"Obviously, you're taking a chance on a person you divert, and you're giving the opportunity to be rehabilitated without going through the system," he said. "That becomes a liability that the DA has to handle politically, but most of the programs are very successful with low recidivism. The services that are offered in lieu of court intervention and a (criminal) record by and large are effective."

A dual representative of Queens, New York, and Tampa, Florida, rapper 10 Minute is blessed with the whimsical flow and swagger of a Dirty South rapper and the save-the-game determination of an East Coast MC. His debut single, Get The F Up, is a model single for any underground artist; an energetic beat (courtesy of Mariano Herrera) and a hook sure to get the crowd moving. 10's lyrical ability and rhyme pattern will be sure to impress, and his Southern swagger should remind listeners of Big Boi. Even though 10 Minute is currently unsigned, expect that to change once label execs Get The F Up in 2008.

John Legend was in Toronto, Canada recently where he was co hosting the Joe Carter Classic and John took advantage of being in Toronto, by going for a bike ride in Queens Park. Legend looked quite the part too with his black vest, safety helmet and shades on.
John tweeted later in the day, "Had a great 2 days in Toronto. One of the most hospitable cities in the world. Co-hosted the Joe Carter Classic w/ Mr. Carter tonight," however, he failed to mention his enjoyable bike ride. Legend's girlfriend also took to Twitter last week.
Chrissy Teigen threatened to reveal John's fried chicken recipe, "I wonder if @johnlegend would be ok with me posting his insanely delicious fried chicken recipe on my blog so u guys can make it for 4th." However Legend saved her the trouble by tweeting back, "Of course you can. but it's not really a recipe. it's just 3 words. Lawry's, Lawry's & Lawry's." What 4th of July recipes will you be making this year?

text: Cloud Google unifies cloud storage so you get 15GB shared across Gmail, Drive, & Google+ May 13, 2013 10:21 AM Sean Ludwig 0 Gaming execs: Join 180 select leaders from King, Glu, Rovio, Unity, Facebook, and more to plan your path to global domination in 2015. GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Google has modified its cloud storage allocation for regular users of its services so they now share 15GB of free storage across Gmail, Drive, and Google+ Photos. "With this new combined storage space, you won't have to worry about how much you're storing and where," Clay Bavor, the product management director for Google Apps, wrote in a blog post. "For example, maybe you're a heavy Gmail user but light on photos, or perhaps you were bumping up against your Drive storage limit but were only using 2GB in Gmail. Now it doesn't matter, because you can use your storage the way you want." Google's goal with the reallocation seems to be to simplify the purchase of cloud storage and make it more clear how much free storage you have. So if you were planning to buy more space for Gmail or more space for your Drive account, you'll do that all in one place. Google will also update its Google Drive storage page to help people better understand how their storage is allocated. On top of making unified storage available to consumers that use Gmail, Drive, and Google+, unified storage will come to Google Apps users as well. Google Apps users will end up with 30GB of unified storage that's shared between Drive and Gmail. The changes to Google's cloud storage will roll out to all users "over the next couple of weeks." Photo via Google VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying email marketing tools. Chime in here, and we'll share the results.
