What Obama's Win Means for Stocks, Gold - Analysts React
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As Barack Obama closed in on his re-election Tuesday night, analysts questioned what the president's second term would mean to the stock and gold markets.
Here's what a few of the analysts had to say in their own words to TheStreet as the final state results rolled in Tuesday evening.
Tim Harvey, senior vice president at ETF Securities U.S.:
"If we see President Obama's mandate extended by 4 more years, his fiscal policies could lead to a continued dilution of the dollar and therefore dollar weakness. Gold generally performs better in weaker dollar environments. ..."So more of the same. I guess the right foot remains on the QE gas pedal -- we can look forward to more of the same over the next 4 years. The US is very important to the gold market, however the gold market is dominated by the Indians and Chinese, so actually the US election is a gold story, but not necessary the whole story." Marty Leclerc, chief investment officer at Barrack Yard Advisors: "Looks like the President will be reelected. One industry that will likely experience reduced government largess in the future is defense. Defense stocks with their low p/e ratios and high dividend yields may look like value opportunities to some. To us, given budgetary realities, they sure have many of the attributes of value traps." Jeffrey Sica, chief investment officer of Sica Wealth Management: "I'm sitting in my library watching the coverage and simultaneously watching Asian markets, precious metals markets and futures. The most obvious development as the race gets tighter is the declines in futures. ...This is indicative of a country so divided that it makes a political stalemate more likely which will result in no definitive direction when it comes to solving our complicated economic problems. The government has been in a stalemate since 2008 and this election is proof that the division is so vast that we must begin to anticipate the government being completely ineffective." Jeffrey Wright, managing director at Global Hunter Securities: "I do believe the election today is a factor in gold's strength thru the day; regardless of who the eventual winner is investors are drawn to gold in times of indecision and uncertainty. ...

Yes, I'd try another book from this authors.
This book was entertaining but in no way should it be compared to "The Help". It caught my attention but it wasn't a book I couldn't stop listening to. I gave it three stars because it was just alright. This is the first time I ever wrote a review and I am doing so because I was duped into listening and perhaps I can save someone else the $$$ or a credit.
"The Potato Factory"
Keep your interest from the opening page to the end. A great insight into the lives of the ruthless and the poor. Good read
"Heart of the Matter"
real life view into out perceiption of a perfect marriage, What we learn is that this union is far from perfect and i fact there is not true dialogue going on between our heroimes of the story

Beard Cabin
The Beard Cabin was the first building built in Shawnee after the land run of September 22, 1891. The two-story cabin was built in 1891 by Etta Ray Beard, her father, future brother-in-law John Beard and future sister-in-law Lola Beard, near the southeast corner of Highland Street and Kickapoo Street, the west line of the 1891 land run.
Etta Ray married Henry Beard in November of the same year and they lived in the cabin until they built another house next to the cabin. Museum visitors can tour the fully furnished cabin and experience the challenges of daily life for participants of the Oklahoma land runs.
The cabin was moved to Woodland Park as a historical site where it was a project of the Campfire Girls, who provided most of the furniture in the cabin today. Damaged by a tornado in 1999, the cabin was moved to the Santa Fe Depot grounds and repaired with the help of the Cleo Craig Foundation and Rich and Ge'Nell Austin.

What is diazepam rectal (Diastat)?
Diazepam is a benzodiazepine (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peen). Diazepam affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause seizure.
Diazepam rectal is used to treat occasionally increased seizures (cluster seizures) in people with epilepsy who also routinely take other anti-convulsants. Diazepam rectal is not for long-term daily use to prevent seizures.
Diazepam rectal may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of diazepam rectal (Diastat)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if the person receiving this medication has:
- worsening seizures, or seizures that seem different from the patient's other seizures;
- pale or discolored skin;
- confusion, hallucinations, unusual thoughts or behavior, unusual risk-taking behavior, decreased inhibitions, no fear of danger;
- hyperactivity, agitation, hostility, depressed mood, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
- feeling like you might pass out; or
- pain or burning when you urinate.
Common side effects may include:
- headache, blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- slurred speech, loss of balance or coordination; or
- nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Diastat (diazepam rectal gel) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about diazepam rectal (Diastat)?
You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to diazepam (Valium), or if you have untreated or uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma.
Before using diazepam rectal, tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, liver or kidney disease, asthma, pneumonia, other breathing problems, or a history of depression, suicidal thoughts, or addiction to drugs or alcohol. Also tell your doctor if you are allergic to other benzodiazepines (alprazolam, Ativan, lorazepam, Klonopin, Restoril, Tranxene, Xanax, and others).
This medication is usually given by a caregiver to the person who is having a seizure. Not all types of seizures can be treated with diazepam rectal. If you are the caregiver, do not give this medication unless you know how to recognize the symptoms of a seizure episode that should be treated with diazepam rectal.
Diazepam rectal may cause harm to an unborn baby, but having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both the mother and the baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant while using diazepam rectal for seizures. Do not start or stop using any of your seizure medications during pregnancy without your doctor's advice.
There are many other drugs that can interact with diazepam rectal. Tell your doctor about all medications you use.
Diazepam may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.

Specks of dust floating through the air are surrounded by condensation in the upper atmosphere. As more dust merges with water droplets clouds form. Within those clouds hold the potential of fear – and that fear has a name. Nephophobia. The makeup of a cloud is logical while the fears associated with the clouds are personal. From those clouds come rain that causes flooding, hail that wounds and destroys and tornadoes that can potentially wipe out entire communities. For the nephophobe there are plenty of reasons to fear what begins as dust and water.
What Causes Nephophobia?
In most instances the fear of clouds boils down to violent events that include clouds. The white floating images can signal a bit of shade for some and an omen of danger to others.
Many of the fears associated with clouds can be traced to observable reactions among those who have lived through and have come to fear events associated with clouds.
Small fears based on observation can become much larger when the individual that suspects there is danger in the clouds actually lives through a dangerous storm. This moment allows them to be convinced that no good can come from clouds. This is when nephophobia becomes extremely pronounced.
Symptoms of Nephophobia
Your phobia causing you panic attacks? Get rid of panic attacks today.
Many nephophobes will look on clouds with intense suspicion. They may experience a sense of panic and will not go outdoors on days when there are clouds in the sky. Many will move to locations where there is more sunshine than rain.
General symptoms include…
- Air hunger
- Elevated heart rates
- Panic Attacks
- Nausea
- Fainting
- Weeping
- Temporary loss of bladder or bowel control
The symptoms will all relate to a solid belief of impending doom and destruction. This will be evident even when previous encounters with clouds generally do not support what other may consider an over reaction.
How to Overcome Nephophobia?
This phobia is based on a fear that is out of balance with typical outcomes. A nephophobe can find reinforcement for their fear by tuning into news and weather channels that tend to show only the most violent storms from around the world. In this environment they can justify their fear and the reaction demonstrated when the fear is present.
Ironically one of the best ways to overcome the fear is to eliminate negative exposure to violent incidents shown in the news.
Knowledge is always a positive step in overcoming fear. Learning more about the makeup of clouds can help you understand why they are more often than not a harmless buffer between the earth and sunlight. You can also learn what conditions are needed for other types of storm events to take place. If those elements are not in place there may be nothing to fear from gathering clouds.
Support groups and therapy can also be a positive means of addressing your fear with others who understand the effects of the fear and may be in various places of personal recovery. Many times a reversal of fear can take place when an individual can admit the fear and learn from others how to manage fear when it comes up when the sky gets dark.

Skin problems health centre
Having warts frozen off by a doctor
If you have this treatment, your doctor will freeze the wart for about 10 to 30 seconds using liquid nitrogen. You may need to have the treatment several times, depending on the type of wart you have and where it is on your body. [19] Your doctor will use a spray or a cotton wool bud to apply the liquid nitrogen. [13]
Studies on freezing have found different things. One big summary of research (a systematic review) found that freezing warts worked no better than using a cream that didn't contain any medicine. But other studies have found that freezing works for about half the people treated after one month to three months. [15]
Studies have also compared freezing with other treatments. One good-quality study (a randomised controlled trial) found that freezing worked better than salicylic acid for most types of warts. [16] However, several studies found that both treatments worked about the same for warts on the sole of the foot ( verrucas). [16] [17]
Other studies have found that simpler treatments like duct tape and photodynamic treatment work as well as, and may be better than, having warts frozen off by a doctor. [15]
Freezing can be painful. It can cause blistering and scarring. [13] Your doctor might scrape off the top layer of skin with a scalpel before freezing the wart or verruca. This can cause bleeding, and some people find it unpleasant. [20]
You can buy freezing treatments over the counter from a pharmacy. Brands include
randomised controlled trials
Randomised controlled trials are medical studies designed to test whether a treatment works. Patients are split into groups. One group is given the treatment being tested (for example, an antidepressant drug) while another group (called the comparison or control group) is given an alternative treatment. This could be a different type of drug or a dummy treatment (a placebo). Researchers then compare the effects of the different treatments.
systematic reviews
A systematic review is a thorough look through published research on a particular topic. Only studies that have been carried out to a high standard are included. A systematic review may or may not include a meta-analysis, which is when the results from individual studies are put together.

|male. 25yrs old. 215lbs. 14% body fat. lift weights 4 times week. not much cardio. do bike a lot though in summer. went on 6 week extreme diet. got down to 190lbs. looked ok i thought. did not check BF. over the next 6 months i went back to regular weight. am 215 again. i think most of weight loss was water. some fat, some muscle. i think a super fast diet is misleading. not really true fat loss. does my theory sound right?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by colorcrazy (My Page) on Sun, Jul 24, 11 at 19:02
|Yes, you are absolutely correct. Extreme diets only work on a temporary basis and can even jeopardize your health. Eating complex carbs, veggies, fruit, and beans, nuts, fish, etc. for protein is the way to lose weight. No sugar, not even the artificial kind, no white bread, rice, or potatoes,lots of water, limit processed foods, and no fried foods.
You did not say how tall you are. If you are 5'5" 190 pounds is still too heavy.
You need to balance the weights with cardio and a healthy diet. Also, your muscles need to rest - usually 40+ hours after lifting weights. Either do it every other day or do upper body one day and lower body the next.
Good luck!
|i am 6-1. have 53" shoulders. 49" chest. 34" waist. i rarely do leg work. since my upper body is big, i can get away with having a soft middle. i have a hard time staying away from carbs.

|Short Biography
was born on the 21st of November 1961.
My parents were Emiel Bertels and Marleen Tullen.
My father had a library full of science fiction, and an indestructible light-hearted look on life. My mother was more serious of nature, but had a talent for drawing and painting effortlessly. Both loved and played music.
There was also my sister Mieke and my brother Willem, now schoolteacher and nurse.
Television became common in the sixties. Batman, spaceship Orion and the films of Karel Zeman are among my very first memories. The fact that stories were preferably about travelling through space, time, or the human vascular system, was obvious to us.
By the western window of our living room, next to the bookshelves full of imaginary worlds, there was a small desk. I sat there every day drawing, often for many hours. Besides reading, I didn't do much else.
Our family wasn't extraordinary, but fantasy was welcome.
Since 1986 there is Marijke. Thanks to her I've been able to make paintings practically full time all of my adult life, meanwhile with reasonable success.
As Marifey, she makes pottery now.

|I normally just make and exhibit (and
eventually sell) originals. I'm aware that my work would be suitable
for reproduction, but it's always hard to decide which ones. At the
moment I'm working on "high resolution" paintings, large prestigious
projects that, if successful, will be like a whole exhibition in one
image. I have the intention to also show and sell them as
reproductions. When ready, all information will be found here.
|About my work
|We all know that art should speak for itself.
Besides that, the available means of expression are so rich and divers that it's no use to try to convert everyone to our particular passion. If we can inspire a small part of humanity now and than, we can be content.
I realise however that sometimes people like my work, but have also the impression that there is an underlying story they need to fully understand it. I can reassure you that this is not the case, and that everything you need is clearly visible.
It is the momentary character of the single image, like a painting, that allows you to fantasise with me. With every object, creature, tree, or shape, light and colour I put in, I search for the highest possible fertility for stories and emotions. It's for you to fill in a particular story, if you want. Therefore I often say the content of a picture hangs in front of it, between you and the surface, and not hidden underneath. So don't bother trying to decipher any symbols.
But indeed I am a bit more particular about expressing a certain atmosphere, or theme. In short, I could describe it as: the Transparency of the world. In other words, the mind-blowing and stratified complexity of the universe, of ourselves, and of our capacity to experience it, attempting to find some orientation. The phrase: "there must be more than we can measure" has little meaning to me because the world, when carefully observed, exceeds by far and in any aspect our imagination anyway. There is nothing boring about science, when we don't confuse it with vain ambition of some scientists, or the political choices inherent to certain technology.
To me, the physical reality and our deepest spiritual experiences belong to one and the same Design space. Science explores and describes the structure and history of it. Art explores the endless and unexpected expressions of it, or what I call the fertile realms in it that haven't been found yet by reality, and that could enrich our lives.
So I have always been passionately searching for "open images", that can express my fascination for depth of time and space. This depth is not only visible literally, but also in the shape and behaviour of every living creature.
Sometimes I have the impression that my passion has developed by the growing notion that not everyone had eyes for stars, prehistoric animals or misty mountains, when available.
People ask me often about certain, influences and inspirations, and lately I hesitate to answer because I've had the experience that often my work is pinned down to just these elements. But if you beg, I could be a bit more specific:
- Obvious are the influence of and Jeroen Bosch and even more Pieter Brueghel, and in particular his "Mad Meg", a painting in front of which i spent many hours.
- Music is a great inspiration. The musical worlds of Kate bush, Gustav Mahler, Benjamin Britten and many more generate ideas and images all the time.
-Less obvious are for example the geometric abstract work of Kandinsky, the poetic playfulness of Miro, the chaotic fantasy of Ian Miller. These artists thought me to compose freely, notwithstanding my love for detail.
-The stories of Jules Verne, with the gloomy engravings, and the bizarre film versions by Karel Zeman, installed in me very early that strange fabric of menace and humour.
-The paintings of my friend and colleague Jo Pirard are, however abstract, often considered similar to mine. Indeed we have in common our passion to interweave lyricism and geometry, broad strokes and detail, darkness and play.
-And of course this kind of lists are always incomplete, yet too long, and impossible to conclude. What I'm going to do anyway.

Clinical UM Guideline
|Kidney Transplantation
|Guideline #:
|Current Effective Date:
|Last Review Date:
A kidney transplant involves the removal of the kidney from a deceased or living donor with the implantation into a single recipient.
Note: Please see the following related transplant documents for additional information:
|Clinical Indications
Note: Members must meet the clinical indications as well as the general individual selection criteria for the transplantation to be considered medically necessary.
Medically Necessary:
Kidney transplantation from a deceased or a living donor is considered medically necessary for selected individuals with end stage renal disease. The clinical indications leading to end stage renal disease include, but are not limited to, one of the conditions listed below.
Clinical Indications:
Horseshoe Kidney
Lead nephropathy
Analgesic nephropathy
Metabolic Disorders
Alport's syndrome
Polycystic kidney disease
Medullary cystic disease
Cortical necrosis
Hemolytic uremic syndrome
Acute and subacute glomerulonephritis
Anaphylactoid purpura (Henoch-Schonlein)
Chronic pyelonephritis
Diabetic nephropathy
Chronic glomerulonephritis
Hypertensive nephrosclerosis
Goodpasture's disease
Hypocomplementemic nephritis
Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome
Toxic nephropathy (including nephropathy related to cyclosporine/tacrolimus toxicity)
Chronic allograft nephropathy (i.e., chronic rejection)
Renal carcinoma
Wilms' tumor
Tuberous sclerosis
Renal artery occlusion
Renal vein thrombosis
Polyarteritis (periarteritis nodosa)
Multiple Myeloma
Lupus Erythematosus
Wegner's Disease
Etiology unknown (documented chronic renal failure of at least 6-8 weeks duration)
Repeat transplant due to acute or chronic graft failure is considered medically necessary.
Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation
Kidney transplant as part of a simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplantation is considered medically necessary when criteria for liver transplantation are met and when one of the following are met:
Not Medically Necessary:
Kidney transplantation for conditions other than end stage renal disease is considered not medically necessary.
Kidney transplantation as part of a simultaneous liver kidney (SLK) transplant is considered not medically necessary, if one of the above SLK criteria are not met.
Note: For multi-organ transplant requests, criteria must be met for each organ requested. In those situations, an individual may present with a concurrent medical condition which may be considered an exclusion or a comorbidity that would preclude a successful outcome, but would be treated with the additional organ transplant. Such cases will be reviewed on an individual basis for coverage determination to assess the member's candidacy for transplantation.
General Individual Selection Criteria
In addition to having one of the clinical indications above, the member must not have a contraindication as defined by the American Society of Transplantation in Guidelines for the Referral and Management of Patients Eligible for Solid Organ Transplantation (2001) listed below.*
Absolute Contraindications- for Transplant Recipients include, but are not limited to, the following:

|Discussion/General Information
Nearly 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease (CKD), with 570,000 diagnosed with kidney failure known as end stage renal disease (ESRD) (CDC, 2010). In November of 2012, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network reported nearly 94,000 Americans were on the United States wait list for kidney transplantation with approximately 16,000 kidney transplants performed annually (OPTN, 2012).
A kidney transplant involves the surgical removal of a kidney from a deceased or living donor and implanted into a recipient. A donor left kidney is usually transplanted to the right iliac fossa with the renal artery anastomosed end-to-end to the hypogastric artery and the renal vein end-to-side to the common iliac vein. The ureter is implanted into the bladder and (under special conditions) a uretero-ureteral anastomosis or ureteropyelostomy may be performed.
Hepatorenal syndrome is a severe complication of liver cirrhosis or other severe liver disease. Features of hepatorenal syndrome are renal dysfunction caused by abnormalities in the arterial circulation and the vasoactive systems, resulting in renal vasoconstriction and renal insufficiency. There are two types of hepatorenal syndrome. Type I hepatorenal syndrome occurs when renal function is rapidly reduced and has an ominous prognosis which is usually reversed by liver transplantation. Type II hepatorenal syndrome occurs when renal failure does not progress rapidly. It can be quite difficult to distinguish these two conditions in individuals with severe liver disease. Liver transplantation is the recognized treatment for hepatorenal syndrome (Davis, 2005; Marik, 2006).
Concern has been raised since the introduction of the MELD (model for end-stage liver disease) prioritization for liver transplant that some recipients that undergo combined liver and kidney transplantation may have reversible renal failure. To address this issue, the American Society of Transplantation and American Society of Transplant Surgeons met in March 2006 to review post-MELD data on the impact of renal function on liver waitlist and transplant outcomes and the result of simultaneous liver kidney transplantation. This committee issued a consensus statement with regard to simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplantation summarized below (Davis, 2007):
There is a paucity of large prospective randomized controlled trials in the peer reviewed literature to support the use of combined kidney liver transplantation when the duration of renal failure and dialysis is less than six weeks.
Allotransplantation: The transfer of cells, tissues, or whole organs from one individual to another within the same species.
Chronic Renal Disease: The permanent loss of kidney function.
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): Persistent decline in renal function as documented by falling creatinine clearance in an individual diagnosed with a renal disease whose natural history is progression to renal impairment requiring renal replacement (dialysis or transplant).
Nephropathy: Refers to damage or disease of the kidney.

There's a really good post here by Davide Mauri explaining the order in which "things" happen when a package spins up. By "things" I mean logging starting, reading configurations, validation and control-flow execution.
Logging With SSIS: Beware of Parent Package Variable configuration! (http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/dmauri/archive/2006/04/02/9489.aspx)
The important point to take away from this is that parent package configurations are applied at a different point in time from all other configurations. That's an important thing to remember.
Its well worth 30 seconds of your time to read.

Alberta sources energy from crude oil, natural gas, coal, hydro, wind and biomass.
Oil, natural gas and petroleum products accounted for 73% of Alberta's exports in 2011.
Oil, natural gas and petroleum products accounted for 27.6% of Alberta's provincial GDP in 2011.
In 2011, petroleum industry payments to the province, which amounted to $1.6 billion, accounted for 29.6% of provincial government revenues.
Approximately 167,400 Albertans work in the oil, gas, coal, and utilities industries.
Discover the key energy facts about Alberta.
By the numbers (1MB PDF)
The oil sector has been a driver of the Alberta economy for almost 100 years. While the sector took off in 1947 with the Leduc discovery, the province's first major oil field was discovered in Turner Valley in 1914.
In 2010, Alberta's conventional crude oil reserves totalled 1.49 billion barrels or about 36% of Canada's total. Alberta also has 169.3 billion barrels of oil sands reserves. Including conventional oil, condensate, oil sands and natural gas liquids, Alberta has 172.4 billion barrels of oil reserves, or 98% of Canada's total.
In 2011, Alberta's conventional liquids production averaged 636,000 barrels per day, or about or about 44.5% of Canada's total crude oil and equivalent production. Alberta's oil sands production averaged 1.51 million barrels per day for total of 2.15 million barrels per day, or about 73% of Canada's total crude oil production.
Alberta is home to a large natural gas resource base which accounted for 70.9% of the marketed natural gas produced in Canada in 2011. Although natural gas is found throughout the province, concentrations are heavier in the mid- and southeast portions of Alberta.
Natural gas was discovered in Alberta in 1883, and by 1890, residents of Medicine Hat were using natural gas found beneath the town for cooking, heating and lighting.
Alberta produced an average of 10.2 billion cubic feet per day of marketed natural gas in 2011.
As of December 2011, there were 99 active oil sands projects in Alberta. Of these, five are mining projects; the remaining projects use various in situ (in place) recovery methods. In 2011 oil sands were the source of about 70% of Alberta's total crude oil and equivalent production and about 50% of all crude oil and equivalent produced in Canada.
The oil sands region has a total area of 142,000 square kilometres, larger than Florida, twice the size of New Brunswick, four and a half times the size of Vancouver Island, and 26 times larger than Prince Edward Island. However, only about 4,800 square kilometres, or three per cent of that area could potentially be mined. The rest will be developed using in situ means. So far, 715 square kilometres have been disturbed, all of which will be reclaimed.
TransCanada owns and operates the 23,095-kilometre Alberta System which gathers natural gas for use within the province and delivers it to provincial boundary points for connection with its Canadian Mainline, BC System, the Foothills System and other pipelines. The 23,186-kilometre Mainline system is one of the largest carriers of natural gas in North America.
TransCanada also owns and operates the 1,241-kilometre Foothills system which transports natural gas to export terminals at the U.S. border for use in the western United States.
The 3,719-kilometre Alliance pipeline and carries an average 1.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day from northwest Alberta to Chicago.
Enbridge owns and operates its Canadian Mainline system, a 2,306-kilometre pipeline running from Edmonton to Gretna, Manitoba, where it connects with the Lakehead System, and from Sarnia to Montreal. Capacity is 2.5 million barrels per day.
Enbridge also owns and operates the Athabasca Pipeline, a 540-kilometre, 345,000 barrel per day line running from Fort McMurray to Hardisty, and the Waupisoo Pipeline, a 385-kilometre, 350,000 barrel per day line running from Fort McMurray to Edmonton.
Kinder Morgan's 280,000 barrel per day Express Pipeline runs from Hardisty 1,263 kilometres to Casper, Wyoming where it connects with the Platte Pipeline which continues to Wood River, Illinois.
Kinder Morgan's 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain pipeline transports 300,000 barrels per day of crude oil and refined products from Edmonton, Alberta to marketing terminals and refineries on the west coast. Kinder Morgan has proposed expanding the pipeline to double its current capacity.
Plains Midstream's Rainbow Pipeline runs 1,000 kilometres from Rainbow Lake to Edmonton, and its Rangeland Pipeline runs from Edmonton to the United States border. Both carry crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids.
The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is a twinned pipeline carrying petroleum from Edmonton, Alberta to Kitimat, British Columbia and condensate from Kitimat to Edmonton. The pipeline is undergoing public consultation.
The Imperial oil refinery is located in Strathcona County. In May 2006, the Strathcona refinery began producing ultra-low sulphur diesel, reducing its sulphur content by more than 97%. The refinery has approximately 450 employees and 250 contractors, and has a daily rated capacity of 187,000 barrels of crude oil.
Shell Canada's Scotford Refinery is the first refinery to exclusively process synthetic crude from Alberta's oil sands. The refinery has more than 750 full-time staff and long term contractors, and a capacity of 100,000 barrels of synthetic crude oil daily. Shell also owns and operates a 255,000-barrel per day upgrader at Scotford that transforms bitumen into light, sweet synthetic crude oil.
Suncor's Edmonton refinery has a capacity of 135,000 barrels per day and produces a high yield of light oils exclusively from oil sands-based feedstocks.
As well as the Shell upgrader, there are four others in Alberta: Suncor (361,000 barrels per day), Syncrude (350,000 barrels per day), Nexen (72,000 barrels per day) and Canadian Natural Resources (110,000 barrels per day).
Alberta currently has 900 megawatts of installed hydroelectricity generating capacity.
Alberta currently has 22 hydro facilities in operation. Ontario leads the country with 200.
The Brazeau facility, operated by TransAlta is the largest in the province providing 39% (355 megawatts) of all Alberta's hydroelectricity.
TransAlta, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Canadian Hydro Developers and Glacier Power, proposed the 100-megawatt Dunvegan Hydro Project near Fairview, Alberta. The project is a low-head, run-of-the-river hydroelectric generating facility which, when completed, will provide enough electricity for more than 80,000 homes. In May 2009, TransAlta received approval from the Natural Resources Conservation Board and the Alberta Utilities Commission to construct and operate the facility. The project site is currently undergoing additional geotechnical, engineering and environmental assessment work prior to construction.
Alberta has approximately 33.3 billion tonnes of coal reserves of which 32% are accessible by surface mining and 68% by underground mining. Alberta's coal resources contain more than twice the energy of all of the province's other non-renewable energy resources, including conventional oil and pentanes, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and bitumen and synthetic crude.
In 2011, there were 11 operating mines in Alberta. Total combined production amounted to 30.1 million tonnes, 68% of which was thermal coal and 32% of which was metallurgical coal.
Technologies, such as coal gasification, coal liquefaction, carbon dioxide storage and sequestration, have the potential to allow Alberta to utilize its coal with near-zero, possibly even zero, emissions into the atmosphere.
The Government of Alberta is investing $2 billion to encourage construction of the province's first large-scale carbon capture and storage projects to reduce emissions at facilities such as coal-fired electricity plants and oil sands extraction sites and upgraders.
As at June 2012, there are 29 wind farms in Alberta. With 967.5 megawatts of installed capacity, enough to supply more than 640,000 homes with electricity for a year, Alberta has Canada's second largest wind power capacity behind Ontario.
The largest wind farm is located near Drumheller, about 120 kilometres north east of Calgary, and has an installed capacity of 88 megawatts.
According to the Canadian Wind Energy Association, another 32 wind projects with combined installed capacity of 4,246 megawatts have been proposed for connection between 2013 and 2015.
Since 2001 Calgary Transit in partnership with ENMAX and Vision Quest Windelectric Inc. has used wind-generated electricity to power the CTrain light rail system. Twelve wind turbines generate the wind power reducing CO2 emissions by 46,000 tonnes annually.
Alberta currently has 6,216 megawatts of coal plant electricity generating capacity. Alberta has the most cost coal fired thermal generation facilities in the country with nine, the largest of which is the Sundance (Wabamun) facility with 1,566 megawatts capacity.
The province also has 5,472 megawatts of natural gas fired electricity capacity. Of the 69 plants, the largest, with 480 megawatts installed capacity, is the Joffre plant at Red Deer.
Almost all of Alberta's 409 megawatts of biomass-fired electricity capacity is fuelled by wood waste from the province's forestry industry.
Thermal electricity facilities can generate power several different ways, including natural gas (represented by circles on the map), oil/diesel generation (squares), coal (triangles) and biomass (diamonds).
Alberta has one ethanol facility in Red Deer with a production capacity of 42 million litres per year. The province also has two biodiesel facilities with a combined production capacity of 20 million litres per year.

About Citation Styles
There are number of different citation styles and they vary by research discipline.
This tutorial includes information on several of the most commonly used citation styles (MLA, APA, and CSE), as well as a few discipline-specific ones that are required by faculty in some UMF courses.
If you are not sure which citation style to use for a course, ask your professor.
Citing Your Sources and RefWorks
The best way to avoid plagiarism is to remember to cite all the sources of the information you used.
If you did not write or create something you are using in a paper or project, you must cite the source. That includes images, maps, graphics, sound clips, multimedia, and other materials you might have found in books, articles or on the Web.
For more information about ethical use of information and how to cite your sources, refer to the library's Citation Styles tutorial.
The library also has RefWorks, a citation management tool, that students can use to organize their sources by research topics and create bibliographies in any of the major citation style formats. FMI: check out the RefWorks Tutorials.
Some Basics
For every paper or project you prepare for a class, you will need to include a bibliography or list of the information sources used. Every source you use MUST be cited...books, articles, websites, graphics, images, charts, audio files, video clips, etc.
If you have used someone else's ideas, words, images, etc., you need to give credit to them as the authors or creators.
You also want your professor and anyone else who reads your work to be able to identify and locate the sources you used. Plus, citations lend credibility and authority to your research paper or project!
Golden Rule: If you are not the original author or creator of a resource you incorporate into your paper or project, you need to cite it!
The Bedford Handbook
UMF students are required to have the Bedford Handbook as a writing and research resource. The library has a copy of the 8th edition (2010) in the Reference stacks located on the first floor of the library.
Other Related Resources
For more information about incorporating sources into your research papers and projects and using information ethically, check out these additional resources:

|Hi Folks,
I've got a huge rock wall/garden (8'x100') to work on this summer. There is little to fair amounts of soil in its pockets. Would love any advice on what type of rock plants can thrive w/ a minimum of soil, and/or are long blooming. Live in SE Alaska and weather is just a bit colder & wetter than Seattle. This rock wall has full sun exposure. Dinathus and Snow In The Summer has thrived well in a similarly located rock garden. Please, I'd love as many suggestions as possible.
Thanks in advance,RM
Follow-Up Postings:
|Hi RM - My opinion from here is that your rock wall would be grand place to grow a sedum collection - the hardy succulent stonecrops were born to fill those little crevices and with enough varieties (red, purple, bronze, pink, blue and every shade of green and every color of flowers in the summer) it will not be the least trite!

3 stars. because its a 5 star product with a 1 star color accuracy. Let me explain it to you. So this was a great product per se, but I ordered white and the carpet is not white. I'm a man, so for me white is white. If I say I want white, give me white. The design in my room is black, red, and white. I put this carpet on my floor and it looked dirty. Not to say that it is dirty, but to make a point that it is NOT WHITE. The females in the house were talking about it being bone white or even ivory. I don't know what the hell those colors are but it is not white. Compared to the decor in my room, this was clearly not white. Other than that, its a great carpet. Feels great.
Do not order if you are looking for a WHITE rug...cream, sure - it's a great, soft rug.
While a lot of the reviews are about the color of the rug being cream not white that is the least of the negatives that stand out to me about the rug. First of all its a high maintenance shag rug, and the weave is loose. If you shake it out and don't EVER walk on it, it looks great and will continue to look great with a periodic shaking out. But if you walk on the rug at all, the loose strands will get marled and kind of knotty.Besides that you cannot vacuumed it with a rotary brush vacuume and you have to hand pick any lint or specs of whatever falls into it because as I said, the weave is loose at the base of the weave. We live in a no shoes policy house and this rug was placed at the foot of my bed under a settee.It did not see much traffic and the first 3 months I really liked it. But it ended up looking terrible and full of stuff you can't vacuumed out of it. I don't have time to be constantly hand picking it clean and unless you plan on personally hand shampooing it and drying it outside in the sun, don't bother. Because for the price of having it professionally cleaned I can buy another rug. Actually for the price this is a throwaway rug when youre done with it. And I was glad to be done with it within 6 months.
I purchased it for in front of the fireplace and it is a definite asset to the family room. It is a very good rug for price, that said, the weave is not as close as I would have preferred if I would have been able to physical inspect it--none the less, for my purpose, it is more than adequate. The color is "white" but not a true white, if that makes sense. I have off white and ivory throughout this space and this rug fit well, if placed side by side it is whiter than my other accessories but I was looking for something slightly different--so it is perfect. The only negative I have is that like many items on Overstock, the photo does not accurately portray the item, in this case, the looser weave--but again, no one should inspect much more for the price. Overall this is an excellent purchase for the price, I would not recommend for high use areas.
I was looking for a cream white color round shag rug to match our crown molding. I was not quite sure when looking at the web description, but one review helped. I BET it would be a cream white instead of true white and gave it a try. I WAS RIGHT! It is a very soft cream white. Perfect for us! It had all the folding tracks when arrived, but not a problem after using it for two weeks! Wish it could be denser, but still work well at current condition.
i bought this rug for my living room . 10 by 13 .. I really like the way it looks. It is a a white/winter white tone not paper white. pile is nice. if i had to say were this rug would look best in a home it would be a bedroom because it is plush and cozy. also because a living room is higher traffic . i just hope i can keep it looking as good as new because a white rug is in and classy.
Great rug, works well under our king-size bed. Only complaint is that it had a stain on it when we unrolled it. Clearly happened before it was packaged (or while being packaged).
This is the second one of these rugs I have ordered for my kids rooms. They are incredibly soft and easy to take care of. When we received this particular one in the mail, it had a horrible smell to it. I called customer service, and they immediately sent me a new one. AMAZING customer service! Will most definitely keep ordering from them!
great rug for my daughter's bedroom. Its soft and a beautiful soft white. Appears to be holding up well to daily use.
I was looking for a rug for a while and I couldn't decide on what to get for my fresh living room decor. Finally I decided on this rug and I am so glad I did. This is just perfect. I love the feel and literally i felt like sleep on this rug and didn't want to move. I kept on sitting there for awhile for no reason. That is how much I love. Some people say different stuff about the color. Well it didn't matter to me because my sofa set is pure white and this rug goes perfectly in the space along with other white decor in the living. Now this room looks like a white paradise. Thank you overstock. This is my second purchase from here and so far I am really happy with Overstock.

Top Local Tips for Los Cabos
San Jose Del Cabo Don't take a stroller to town, the sidewalk are not 'stroller friendly'. The town is worth a visit though, there is a small French Patisserie in the centre of town that makes great breakfast and pastries
Public Bus We took the public bus into Cabo and San Jose several times durring our trip. It costs $1.50pp each way and was always easy to use. Don't waist your $ on cab - enjoy Mexico and meet some nice people on the bus!
Car Rental worked out nicely It's fairly simple to drive around. Being in the middle of San Jose Del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas made it convenient to both.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.Colin Powell
Magic becomes art when it has nothing to hide.Ben Okri
Books are a uniquely portable magicStephen King
The power of Thought,--the magic of the Mind!Lord Byron
There is a real magic in enthuiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.Norman Vincent Peale
Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is at best that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word order.Frank Lloyd Wright
Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secretRuth Morgan
Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.W. Clement Stone
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable.Margot Fonteyn
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.Norman Vincent Peale
Whether we name divine presence synchronicity, serendipity, or graced moment matters little. What matters is the reality that our hearts have been understood. Nothing is as real as a healthy dose of magic which restores our spirits.Nancy Long
If you are a dreamer,come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!Shel Silverstein
Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future.Gail Lumet Buckley
An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.William Bernbach
I�m sure now that grieving and healing are the same thing sometimes, and magic and death are the same thing sometimes, and trusting and failing are the same thing sometimes.Jorja Fox
The magic of sex is it�s acquisition without the burden of possessions. No matter how many women you take home, there�s no storage problem.Chuck Palahniuk
The eye speaks with an eloquence and truthfulness surpassing speech. It is the window out of which the winged thoughts often fly unwittingly. It is the tiny magic mirror on whose crystal surface the moods of feeling fitfully play, like the sunlight and shadow on a still stream.Henry Theodore Tuckerman
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans. Aim high in hope and work. Remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.Daniel H. Burnham
Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.Tom Robbins
The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others' burdens, easing other's loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of Christmas.W. C. Jones
In some families, please is described as the magic word. In our house, however, it was sorry.Margaret Laurence

NEW YORK ( TheStreet)-- Annaly Capital Management (NLY) shares are approaching 52-week lows set last month following a pair of downgrades last week, though downside appears limited for the stock.
Indeed, an analyst behind one of the recent downgrades says he would probably raise his recommendation once again if the stock fell much lower than Monday's $14.20 close.
"Annaly's book value is over $16. The stock's selling notably under book value and these are mark to market book values, so they could start liquidating and basically collect that $16-plus for investors, so it's hard for me to see that they'd fall much more," says Gary Gordon, analyst with Portales Partners. "If they do fall much more they'd honestly get cheap and I'd be back recommending them."
Gordon, who lowered his recommendation on Annaly to "sector perform" on Dec. 10 expects even if Annaly is forced to lower its dividend, he doubts the yield will drop below 8%."In today's world, I don't know what you're getting in your bank, but I bet it's not 8% Gordon says. The other downgrade for Annaly last week came from Deutsche Bank's Stephen Laws, who cited lower "portfolio return estimates relative to peers," for Annaly as well as MFA Financial (MFA)and Hatteras Financial Corp. (HTS). Nonetheless, Laws argues the mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) sector as a whole is attractive due to low price to book value multiples versus his 2013 return-on-equity estimates. Laws favors mortgage REITs such as Redwood Trust (RWT), NorthStar Realty (NRF)and Starwood Property Trust (STWD). These companies' shares are up 61%, 40% and 25% respectively year to date through Monday's close on the anticipation of a recovery in the securitization markets. However, those high returns reflect considerably more downside risk. Laws' bull thesis for these companies relies upon "a strong investment pipeline over the next few years" for both non-conforming loans and commercial real estate debt. Should those things fail to materialize, shares of these high-fliers would likely take a hit. Meanwhile, a mere maintenance of the status quo is all Annaly needs to keep paying out a dividend that yields in the high single digits if not higher. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

If the makers of Argo are deposed under oath, they may be forced to reveal that their film -- like the fictitious film-within-the-film -- is a covert operation disguised as a movie. One of America's leading experts on covert operations believes that Argo is the propaganda project of an intelligence agency or agencies, and that its purpose is to convince the American people to go along with Israel's plan to drag America into a war on Iran."
In a radio interview Tuesday on the Kevin Barrett Show, Honegger stated that filmmaker Ben Affleck might one day be hanged for war crimes and treason - not only for Argo, which she said is designed to pave the road to war on Iran, but also for his role in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor, an earlier intelligence operation designed to pave the road to the 9/11 "New Pearl Harbor." According to Honegger, Affleck - like his character in Argo - appears to be a covert operator posing as a filmmaker.
Barbara Honegger, who has been studying intelligence agencies and their covert operations for three decades, said that both films "appear to have made by the CIA - or worse." I asked what she meant by "or worse." Honegger suggested that the criminal, drug-smuggling, 9/11-complicit "Bush crime family" wing of the CIA may have been working with the Israeli Mossad in all three co-productions: The movies Pearl Harbor and Argo, and the 9/11 covert operation itself.
Honegger stated that the Bush-linked criminal wing of the CIA, in some cases together with the Israeli Mossad, perpetrated several of the worst crimes in recent history, including the JFK assassination and the 9/11 false-flag event. She said that the same forces, led by extremist Likud elements in Israel, are planning to launch a war on Iran, via a false-flag attack against a US ship in the Persian Gulf, by this summer. According to Honegger, the exposure of the 1980 October Surprise can help prevent such a war.

In March 2011, an enormous tsunami struck the east coast of Japan following a 9.0-magnitude earthquake. Seeing the event unfold in videos and photos had many British Columbians asking "Could that happen here?"
A tsunami along B.C.'s coast is a rare but real threat. Learn the tsunami risk level of your coastal community and what you can do to prepare.
You can read about one Emergency Management BC professional's personal experience in Japan, six months after the tsunami.
- Tsunamis are large ocean waves most frequently
generated by major earthquakes beneath the ocean floor. Watch this animated tsunami or go to Tsunami School with Emergency Management BC's Seismic Specialist Teron Moore.
- British Columbians should be prepared to manage on their own for a minimum of 72 hours following an emergency.
- Know your community's suggested evacuation routes. Follow all instructions from local emergency officials.
What do I do if there is a tsunami threat?
- Move to higher ground or, in some communities, a pre-identified safe area and stay there until you are told it is safe to return. Tsunami waves can last for several hours.
- Tune your portable or vehicle's radio to a local station and listen for instructions.
- Follow all instructions from local emergency officials.
- Never go to the coast to watch a tsunami. A tsunami moves faster than a person can run.
How will I know if a tsunami is coming?
Emergency Management BC will receive notification of a potential tsunami from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre. All information is then assessed by B.C. emergency officials and technical staff from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and Department of Fisheries and Oceans to determine what, if any, B.C. coastal areas are threatened.
Emergency Management BC will then activate the Provincial Emergency Notification System, which notifies local communities and agencies to implement their emergency response plans as required.
