Jan 24, 2013 - 10:54 AM AKST Report projects 2016 startup for Bokan rare earths mine BOB TKACZ, FOR THE JOURNAL With the publication of a highly optimistic financial assessment, the developers of the rare earth elements mine at Bokan Mountain on Prince of Wales Island have outlined a permitting and construction schedule leading to production start-up and 170 year-round jobs by 2016. Support jobs could triple that total, according to Ken Collison, a long-time mine builder and chief operating officer of Ucore Rare Metals Inc. "We're in the birthing stages of a new American industry and we think that Alaska can be the headquarters," said Ucore President and CEO Jim MacDonald. Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Ucore issued the Preliminary Economic Assessment, or PEA, for the Bokan Mountain project, located 37 miles southwest of Ketchikan, on Jan. 15. The PEA indicated an 11-year mine life based on proven resources with a net present value of $586.4 million at a 10 percent discount rate, pre-tax; an internal rate of return of 43 percent; a payback period of 2.3 years and a capital cost of $224.6 million, including a complete on-site rare earth oxide separation plant, and a contingency provision of $25.4 million. MacDonald acknowledged that the internal rate of return is "exceptionally high," but said it was a mark of confidence in the PEA and the project mineral content. "I think it's indicative of the fact that the project is very robust," MacDonald said. Collison said on Dec. 12 that proven reserves are, "less than one-tenth of what we're capable of." Much as China captured the rare earth elements, or REE, industry by offering the raw material and manufacturing, MacDonald suggested Alaska could recover a U.S. share. "There's no reason to think that as the industry developed in Alaska they couldn't, potentially, attract manufacturing that requires rare earth elements in the chain. There's a chance here for the state of Alaska to capture an entire industry," MacDonald said. Ucore is raising project financing through what amounts to futures sales, but is also working with the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority on a request for state support through infrastructure construction and possibly other avenues. The McDowell Group is preparing a project profile and economic impact assessment for Ucore. "I can tell you that we are working directly with AIDEA," MacDonald said Dec. 11. He also cautioned, "none of this is guaranteed and all of this is prospective." Ted Leonard, AIDEA executive director did not respond to a request for comment during the past week. With the entire property located on U.S. Forest Service land, project plans call for the start of federal permitting in 2013 and an optimistically projected permit completion in 2014, followed by 18 months for construction and commencement of mineral production in the first half of 2016. "We think that's a good goal," MacDonald said. Formally known as a National Instrument 43-101, a preliminary economic assessment is a detailed technical analysis of a mineral project's economics required under Canadian law. All 15 rare earth elements are present at Bokan and total annual production is projected to be 2,250 tons, but dysprosium, terbium and yttrium, "are our headline products," MacDonald said. In the oxide form the mine will produce, the three are currently selling, respectively for $700, $1,230 and $38 per kilogram, according to Ucore's online REE posting. Projected annual production includes 95 tons of dysprosium oxide, 14 tons of terbium oxide and 515 tons of yttrium oxide. All are critical to electronics manufacturing in defense, automotive, aerospace and other high-tech applications. Cutting-edge refining technology including magnetic separators and solid phase extraction, or SPE, that is undergoing final testing this year will send 75 percent of the 1,500 tons per day of raw ore production back underground. So-called nuisance materials, including thorium, uranium and iron, will be converted to a concrete paste to backfill empty mine shafts. Ucore plans to use a nitric acid leach in the SPE process because 75 percent of the acid can be recycled, unlike more commonly used sulfuric acid, MacDonald said. As extraction operations open subsurface space, surface tailings will steadily disappear. The mine could be the first in the world to leave no surface tailings facility after closure, MacDonald suggested. To finance the project, Ucore's "aspiration, and we think it's a realistic one," MacDonald said, is to avoid the need for equity financing by completing agreements with "off-take partners." "The potential formula is whatever percentage of critical REEs the partner signs for, they will be asked to participate at a commensurate level in terms of financing the mine," MacDonald explained. Last fall, Ucore signed an information sharing agreement with the U.S. Defense Logistical Agency in the Department of Defense, which is expected to become an off-take partner. The information agreement means DOD "will be getting access to information before it becomes public," MacDonald said. Dysprosium is a critical material for production of unmanned drones and other remote-control weapons systems. Hybrid and electrically powered cars have 40 points under the hood requiring REEs, and MacDonald said major U.S. automakers are likely to become off-take partners. "We're talking to the big three automakers. We can't be specific on where we are with any of them," he said. Ucore is also talking to businesses in the aerospace industry, but has not met with representatives of the Alaska Aerospace Corp.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The federal government isn't going to tap the Missouri River to slake the thirst of a drought-parched Southwest, the government's top water official said Wednesday.
But rising demand and falling supply have water managers in the arid West considering a host of other options to deal with dire projections that the Colorado River — the main water supply for a region larger than the country of France — won't be able over the next 50 years to meet demands of a regional population now about 40 million and growing.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar issued what he termed "a call to action" with a three-year study of the river, its flows and its ability to meet the future needs of city-dwellers, Native Americans, businesses, ranchers and farmers in seven Western states.
"We are in a troubling trajectory in the Colorado River basin, as well as the Rio Grande basin," Salazar told reporters on a conference call outlining the math in the findings of the Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study.
Salazar, who oversees water managers and dam operators at the federal Bureau of Reclamation, dismissed as politically and technically impractical some ideas in the study, including piping water from the nation's heartland or towing Arctic icebergs south to help such thirsty U.S. cities as Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
He said he wanted to focus instead on "solutions that are out there that will help us."
"There is no one solution that is going to meet the needs of this challenge," Salazar said. "We need to reduce our demand through conservation. We also need to augment supply with practical measures."
Salazar and Bureau of Reclamation officials warned that the Colorado River's historical 15 million acre-feet per year flow has been reduced by 12 years of drought to about 12 million acre-feet. Officials say an acre-foot can meet the water needs of up two families per year.
Water interests and the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming together lay claim to all the water in the river and then some.
Mexico also has a stake in the river, and officials last month set new rules to share Colorado River water south of the border and let Mexico store water in Lake Mead near Las Vegas.
The study projects that by 2060 the river flow could fall 3.2 million to 8 million acre-feet short of regional needs.
A "very believable estimate" using climate change scenarios projects the river flow increasing to just 13.7 million acre-feet per year by 2060, said Kay Brothers, a former Southern Nevada Water Authority executive in Las Vegas who co-managed the study.
"We're going to have problems in the future meeting the demands of the Colorado River basin," Brothers said. "We have to begin now starting to put measures in place to meet the imbalance and prepare for a drier future."
Even before the report was released, some advocates criticized it as a "fundamentally flawed," and based on inflated projections of the amount of water in the river and the number of people in the region.
"States cooked the books to show higher demand for water consumption to set up a federal bailout on expensive water projects," said Molly Mugglestone, director of the advocacy group Protect the Flows.

Update for 3/9: Recovery of weekday service for Commuter Rail continues with schedule changes effective 3/9. For schedules visit www.mbta.com/winter/severe_weather/ more > |
Schedules and Trip Planning Data (GTFS)
GTFS, or the General Transit Feed Specification, is the standard format used by many transit agencies to release schedule and trip planning information. In addition to Google Maps, GTFS is at the heart for many MBTA trip planning applications. GTFS is a well-documented standard. Learn more at Google's documentation.
This feed contains information for all MBTA services, including bus, rapid transit, commuter rail, and ferries, as well as MassPort airport shuttles.
Getting the File
The MBTA GTFS file is delivered in a ZIP file. The file is located here .
It will remain available at the same URL. It is updated at least four times a year, but may change at any time. To ensure that you have the latest data without constantly downloading the whole thing you can download the current feed_info.txt file here and compare it to the feed_info.txt file from your last GTFS download. If the feed_version field is different then you need to update.
Announcing upcoming changes
We're announcing some upcoming changes to our GTFS feed, and publishing a preview or "prototype" version of that feed. These changes are designed to bring our data in line with best practices, make it easier for you to work with, add information, and improve the presentation you're able to make to users.
The MBTA plans for these changes to go into production in March. The changes shown in the prototype may be altered based on your feedback before we go into production. The prototype is available now at the following link:
This is the second version of the prototype. The Green Line route_id's are changed to Green-B, Green-C, etc.
GTFS Prototype Transition Demo
Changes include:
New route structure for subway
We're doing away with the practice of having multiple route_id's for different stop patterns of the same subway line. The Green Line branches each get their own route_id, and all other subway lines get one route_id each -- "Green-B", "Green-C", "Green-D", "Green-E", "Blue", "Mattapan", "Orange", "Red". Green Line branches are also now identified as part of route_short_name and route_long_name.
New route_sort_order field
route_sort_order in routes.txt identifies the proposed order in which routes should be listed. It's an easy way to group the Silver Line in with the rest of rapid transit and avoid the "1, 10, 100, 2" problem when sorting strings containing numbers. route_sort_order is not an official part of the GTFS specification, it is a proposed extension, and will be a non-negative integer.
Routes classified in route_desc field
Instead of being blank, route_desc in routes.txt will contain a phrase categorizing the kind of service provided. Subject to change, the strings initially in use are:
· "Rapid Transit" - all MBTA rapid transit service, including the Silver Line.
· "Local Bus" - A bus route.
· "Key Bus Route (Frequent Service)" - The MBTA's "key bus routes" have the same operating hours as rapid transit, and run more frequently than local bus routes. Example: route 1.
· "Express Bus" - a bus route that travels on the highway and charges an express bus fare. Example: route 501.
· "Limited Service" - a bus route that may have only a few trips a day, or only run on weekends. Examples: route 4 (rush-hour only), route 62/76 (Saturdays only), route 171 (one trip a day.)
· "Commuter Rail" - all commuter rail service.
· "Ferry" - all boat service.
· "Airport Shuttle" - Massport's Logan airport circulators.
New wheelchair_boarding and wheelchair_accessible fields
Accessibility information is added in the new stops.txt wheelchair_boarding field (and for consistency a wheelchair_accessible field in trips.txt, which is always equal to 1). Note that if a stop has a wheelchair_boarding value of 0 (no information) and a parent stop, then as per the GTFS specification it should inherit the parent stop's wheelchair_boarding value.
Consistent use of pickup_type, drop_off_type
In stop_times.txt all trips now follow the rule that the first stop_time has a drop_off_type of 1 (no one exits a vehicle at the first stop) and the last stop_time has a pickup_type of 1 (no one boards a vehicle at the last stop.) Additionally the feed will now reflect bus routes have some pick-up only or drop-off only service; in this prototype version of the feed this has only been applied to route 34E.
Shorter headsigns
We've shortened the headsign_text field in trips.txt in some cases, most often by removing the word "Station."
As stated above this is a prototype, and we're looking to get feedback before the changes are finalized. Please ask any questions and provide any feedback on the MassDOT Developers Google Group.

Doohan is totally overated and isn't fit to clean Rossis boots. Huge advantage, no competition whatsoever and couldn't win on any else. The secret to Caseys success was a faster bike than anyone else and special tyres developed specially for his ducati. Once everyone else got his tyres even with the power advantage he was getting battered.Can't wait for next years excuse.. you ozzies you don't half like a good whinger.. 1 agree 1 disagree
waz November 03, 2009 11:41 AM @Dream on dreamer, "Don't fret guys Casey might win a championship, when Rossi retires" - yep, just like Rossi never had to race Doohan in MotoGP. Except wait a second - Casey HAS raced Rossi in MotoGP AND beaten him to the championship. Until Rossi started running on Stoner-developed Bridgestones, that is, and then made sure EVERYONE had to use Bridgestones so no one could potentially get a better tyre than him.@Couldawouldashoulda, I don't recall hearing Casey criticising crap kit in recent times - throughout the season it's been notable how often he has praised the bike as pretty great and his own state of fitness as being the problem.Whoops, there I go with balanced views again ...

Active within 1 week
Please be confident and have a great sense of humor! Be romantic and outgoing, I still think that romance isn't dead. Or is it? I like men who are outgoing and successful in what they do; confidence doesn't mean arrogance but it's always nice to sit next to someone and be able to talk about different countries, diverse cuisines and great restaurants... And that is pretty much me. I grew up in London, UK and since I was 13 I've traveled a lot, lived in 4 counties (2 continents), I speak 4 languages ..I am very "worldly" as they say. I can hold a conversation, I am very fun yet intelligent and emotionally stable. I love dining out, love great and unique restaurants, love movies and museums, cheese and wine tastings and traveling..even if it's a weekend getaway to the middle of nowhere I will always find a great place with good wine and steak. I am looking for something serious. Someone emotionally intelligent and who isn't going to see me once every 3 weeks. If you're a foodie, that's would be a great bonus. I am now living near DC but don't mind if you are within reasonable distance.
Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

"The new Sedona has everything a minivan must: a solid drivetrain, enough optional electronic gadgetry to narcotize the kiddies on trips, side windows that roll down, lots of cup holders, an optional power liftgate, and standard airbags in front and all along the sides. The drivetrain is refined and powerful, the chassis is well-sorted, and there's plenty of room for plenty of stuff.

Inventory Management:
Adopting Best Practices Could Enhance Navy Efforts to Achieve Efficiencies and Savings
NSIAD-96-156: Published: Jul 12, 1996. Publicly Released: Jul 12, 1996.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8412
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the Navy's aircraft logistics system, focusing on the Navy's efforts to improve and reduce the cost of the system.
GAO found that: (1) the best practices identified in the airline industry could improve the responsiveness of the Navy's logistics system and save millions of dollars; (2) the Navy's logistics system is complex and often does not respond quickly to customer needs; (3) the factors contributing to this situation include the lack of spare parts, slow distribution, and inefficient repair practices; (4) some customers wait as long as four months for available parts; (5) the Navy is centralizing its supply management and repair activities, outsourcing certain management functions, and analyzing the effectiveness of its repair pipeline; (6) the best practices employed by the private sector show promise for the Navy because these firms hold minimum levels of inventory, have readily accessible spare parts, and quick repair times; (7) it takes an average of 11 days to repair a broken part in the private sector, as opposed to 37 days in the Navy's repair process; (8) the private-sector average is a result of repairing items immediately after they break, using local distribution centers and integrated supplier programs, and third-party logistic providers; and (9) many of the airline industry's best practices are compatible with the Navy's logistics system.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On August 5, 1996, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) formally requested the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition), in coordination with the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency, to initiate a demonstration project to determine the extent to which the Navy can apply best practices to its logistics operations. OSD directed the Navy to initiate the demonstration project by the first quarter of fiscal year 1997.
Recommendation: As part of the Navy's current efforts to improve the logistics system's responsiveness and reduce its complexity, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Navy, working with the Defense Logistics Agency, to develop a demonstration project to determine the extent to which the Navy can apply best practices to its logistics operations.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GAO reported in February 1998 (GAO/NSIAD-98-97) that the Navy has initiated a program to test supplier partnerships such as the integrated supplier concept. The Navy plans to test this concept at two depots in 1998. GAO also reported that the Navy's efforts could be expanded to include other best practices GAO recommended, specifically, prompt repair of items, cellular repair and third-party logistics. To date, the Navy has not established programs to test these practices. According to Navy officials, there are no plans to test or expand these additional practices into Navy operations.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Navy should identify several naval facilities to participate in the project and test specific practices highlighted in this report. The practices should be tested in an integrated manner, where feasible, to maximize the interrelationship many of these practices have with one another. The specific practices that should be tested are: (1) inducting parts at repair depots soon after they break, consistent with repair requirements, to prevent parts from sitting idle; (2) reorganizing repair workshops using the cellular concept to reduce the time it takes to repair parts; (3) using integrated supplier programs to shift the management responsibilities for consumable inventories to suppliers; (4) using local supplier distribution centers near repair facilities for quick shipments of parts to mechanics; and (5) expanding the use of third-party logistics services to store and distribute spare parts between the depots and end-users to improve delivery times.

Comments: GAO reported in February 1998 that the Navy has initiated a program to adopt best practices such as the integrated supplier concept.

GAO also reported that the Navy's efforts could be expanded to include other best practices GAO recommended, specifically, prompt repair of items, cellular repair and third-party logistics. To date, the Navy has not established programs to test the additional practices. As part of the test of the integrated supplier concept, the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency expect to quantify the costs and benefits associated with the practice. Additionally, the Navy expects to identify impediments, if any, to expanding the implementation to other sites.
Recommendation: This demonstration project should be used to quantify the costs and benefits of these practices and to serve as a means to identify and alleviate barriers or obstacles (such as overcoming a strong internal resistance to change and any unique operational requirements) that may inhibit the expansion of these practices. After these practices have been tested, the Navy should consider expanding and tailoring the use of these practices, where feasible, so they can be applied to other locations.

Milan: Pato not joining Blues
11 Jun 2009 - 08:19:04
AC Milan have ruled out the possibility of selling striker Alexandre Pato to Chelsea.
The 19-year-old Brazilian wonderkid has been linked with a move to the Blues following confirmation of former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti's appointment to the Stamford Bridge hot-seat last week.
Speaking earlier in the week, Pato claimed he would talk to Ancelotti before deciding whether to follow him to England.
But Milan's general manager Adriano Galliani has denied reports that Pato could be the second major player - after Real Madrid-bound Kaka - to leave the San Siro this summer.
"Pato will remain, 100 per cent," he warned.
"He's untouchable."

Former Connecticut Governor John Rowland Resigns from WTIC, Hartford Show as New Corruption Probe Intensifies. The former Connecticut governor resigned from office in 2004 amidst corruption charges to which he eventually pleaded guilty and served 10 months in federal prison. He began a talk show host career on CBS RADIO's WTIC, Hartford in 2010 – for the first two years with co-host Pastor Will Marotti of the New Life Church in Meriden before going solo – but now that gig is over as Rowland stepped down yesterday without addressing the new allegations. The Hartford Courant reports that testimony from local businessman Brian Foley and his wife, Lisa Wilson-Foley (a former congressional candidate) stated in federal court that they used a phony consulting contract with Rowland to pay him for political assistance to Wilson-Foley's failed 2012 campaign. Rowland faces possible indictment by a grand jury. WTIC program director Jenneen Lee tells the paper Pastor Will Marotti will step into the afternoon drive slot beginning Monday. Read the entire Courant piece here.
Big Changes at KARN-FM, Little Rock; PM Driver Dave Elswick Out along with AM Drive's Bob Steel and ND. Longtime afternoon drive personality and program director Dave Elswick announces via Facebook that he's out at Cumulus Media's KARN-FM, Little Rock. Here's his post: "I ask for your prayers tonight. After nearly 14 years on KARN I was fired by Cumulus Media. Bob Steel and news director Jack Heintz were also fired. I have no idea what will be on the station tomorrow. Know that I love every one of you who have supported me over these years. God Bless." There were rumors of change at the news/talk outlet swirling but nothing concrete had been put out. As of now, the KARN-FM website lists the AM and PM drive dayparts generically. It's possible Cumulus is clearing the afternoon deck to move Michael Savage into a live slot from the current late night delayed broadcast.
Criticism of Mets Infielder's Paternity Leave Reversed as WFAN's Boomer Esiason Apologizes. The decision by New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy to miss two games to be with his wife in Florida after she delivered their son on Opening Day was a hot topic of conversation on New York sports talk radio and both WFAN afternoon host Mike Francesa and morning drive co-host Boomer Esiason opined that two games was too many to miss. But during the initial chatter, Esiason said that he'd have asked his wife to schedule a C-section in order to be with his teammates for the games. The MLB CBA allows for up to three days of paternity leave. Esiason apologized on WFAN's morning show today (4/4), calling his comments "insensitive" and expressing contrition for having put the Murphy family's personal lives "under a spotlight." He also said his C-section comment was not intended to mean he was telling women what to do with their bodies.
Nielsen Audio Quantifies the Obvious: Opening Day Is Big for Radio. What's well known to radio practitioners is put into numbers by Nielsen Audio from this season's Opening Day. While baseball – from a ratings standpoint – will be good to most MLB flagships this year, some of the Opening Day numbers are truly spectacular. In Cincinnati, flagship WLW pulled a 46.6 share with Men 25-54 on a 12+ cume of 270,700. Also, it's interesting to note the difference in cume and share from the Cubs at Pirates broadcasts where the woebegone Cubs fans in Chicago didn't appear to have the same passion (via radio, anyway) as the recharged Bucs backers in Pittsburgh. Check out the data here.

Phil Boyce Takes on Operations Role at Salem Communications' New York Cluster. Talk radio programming pro Phil Boyce already serves as VP/director of spoken word format for Salem Communications but he's adding the operational vice president for the New York cluster title to his business card.

Salem Communications president David Santrella says, "Phil's innate understanding of the New York market, particularly as it relates to news/talk, as well as his day-to-day proximity to the operation, has led us to the decision to ask Phil to take on the additional role of operational VP for the New York cluster.

Glenn Beck's TheBlaze Partners with Production Companies for Competition Reality Show. The name of the series is "Pursuit of the Truth" and the goal of the show is to bring together 20 selected filmmakers from across the country to prove to a panel of expert judges that their project is worthy of the grand prize – financing and worldwide distribution for their feature documentary film idea. Go Go Luckey Entertainment and Wild West Productions are working with TheBlaze on the project. The 20 contestants will be asked to perform a series of tasks during the 10-week production period for the panel of expert judges. Contestants will be asked to not only prove the validity of their idea for a documentary but also their filmmaking abilities. They will either survive or be eliminated based on that criteria. For example, contestants might be asked to produce a sizzle reel, procure and execute a key interview, or pitch scenes to the panel of judges. TheBlaze president and chief content officer Joel Cheatwood says, "We are excited to continue to expand our programming with producers like Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley and Gary Auerbach. The documentary film, particularly those that seek the truth with no agenda, is an important art form that is struggling to survive in this media environment. We will be looking for stories that simply need to be told." The nine-episode series debuts on TheBlaze in late spring 2013.

The Expert Radio Network, "a multi-media radio platform for experts to deliver their content, expand their audience and explode their product sales" is opening for business.

"The timing could not be better, as 'real,' terrestrial talk radio is experiencing explosive growth, and attracting millions of listeners who seek critical investment, business, and personal development advice from experts across the country. The power of ERN will massively expand an individual or corporate brand's audience and deliver valuable advice and information to consumers."

Blake Taylor Rumors
Mets, Pirates Complete Ike Davis Trade
The Mets and Pirates have completed the Ike Davis trade with the Bucs sending Blake Taylor to the Mets as the player to be named later, according to Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (on Twitter). Taylor was the Pirates second-round pick (No. 51) overall in last year's draft. The CBA prevents teams from trading drafted players within their first year in the organization, so the two sides had to wait until after the one-year mark.
At the time of the trade, it was reported that the PTBNL would be more significant than the other piece the Mets received in minor league righty Zack Thornton. The soon-to-be 19-year-old probably comes with more upside than the 26-year-old Thornton, but this may not be the impact prospect that some Mets fans had in mind. In seven starts and one relief appearance in rookie ball last season, Taylor pitched to a 2.57 ERA with 5.6 K/9 against 3.9 BB/9.
Taylor was ranked as the 40th-best prospect of the 2013 draft class by ESPN's Keith Law (Insider subscription needed) and was also ranked 55th by Baseball America and ranked 61st by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo.
The Mets announced (via Twitter) that Taylor will report to the rookie-level Gulf Coast Mets.
