Illegal immigrants netted by local police could be released
The Obama administration directive comes as the president begins to assert control of the immigration issue.
Ross D. Franklin/AP
Some undocumented immigrants swept up on minor charges such as fishing without a license won't face federal detention. Instead, they'll be released on their own recognizance under an Obama administration directive to a Nashville, Tenn., sheriff who charged 6,000 people with immigration crimes over the past 2-1/2 years.
The "release on recognizance" order by Immigration and Customs Enforcement – a branch of the US Department of Homeland Security – could affect at least some of the 66 US law enforcement jurisdictions that are part of a controversial program which, in essence, deputizes local police to act as de facto immigration agents.
The directive, made earlier this month, is the result of overcrowding in federal prisons, but also ties into a broader, ongoing review of the program, known as 287(g), and its impact on immigrant communities.
"There hasn't been a [policy] change: ICE always puts a priority on criminal aliens who pose a national security threat," says Matt Chandler, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman in Washington. But he acknowledges: "We are taking a deep, hard look at the program."

Slow Cooker Loaded Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Every year my Mom made cream cheese mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving, and I've tailored the recipe to my family and have carried on the tradition. I also make them in a slow cooker, which is convenient because I make the potatoes a day ahead, freeing up oven space. —Ann Nolte, Tampa, Florida
- 3 pounds potatoes (about 9 medium), peeled and cubed
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Mash potatoes with cream cheese, sour cream, butter and milk. Stir in the cheeses, bacon, onions and seasonings. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Transfer to a greased 3- or 4-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 3-1/2 hours. Yield: 10 servings.

Albanian Minerals President & Ceo Mr Sahit Muja, New York said
"Striking contrast between The US President Barack Obama world leaders and US public is growing as US Presidents have not clear plan to restrain government spending".
"The world leaders have pledged to reduce government deficits in richer countries in half by 2013.
Leaders of 20 major industrial and developing countries generally agreed with cutting spending despite warnings from The US President Barack Obama that too much austerity too quickly could choke off the global recovery"
"World's major economies have committed to fiscal plans that will at least halve deficits by 2013 and stabilize or reduce government debt-to-GDP ratios by 2016.German Chancellor Angela Merkel called budget cuts "urgently necessary".
In the most striking contrast, the US President Barack Obama have pledged to spend more.
Leaders need to change the concept of government worldwide to a new real meaning of what the government must do.
Serve the people.
The US and the world need to reduce the deficit and impose fiscal restraint on government spending.
But when you raise taxes and you still expand the deficit that is insanity. That will bankrupt any nation. The American way of life needs to be rebalanced. Households need to stop spending what they don't have. Local and state governments need to slash their budgets to live off whatever tax revenues they generate.
The federal government in the U.S simply has to say no to congressional pet projects. No to the countries who laugh as they spend our money - and most of all to failing social programs and corporations who lobby their way into getting taxpayers to foot the bill for their greed and shortsightedness.
President Obama is losing the public trust. His political belief is no longer accepted by the public. He is losing the trust and the patience of the American people. President Obama is headed to a profound, failed, one-term presidency.

If you have an "extend and pretend" balance sheet the cash you are hoarding is not cash at all. It is an undeclared provision and it may be well short of that required to cover known undeclared provisions.
We're in a new era, and business recognized it first. Cash has once again been crowned king. Firms are afraid that if they're caught overextended again - especially in the case of a double-dip recession - they will be the first on the auction block, bought by none other than a cash-rich firm.
Industrial consolidation has barely even begun. I predict more buyouts leveraged in a way that three years ago would have seemed strange and unnecessary.
Do not fear this part of the cycle. Give the financial crisis time to run its due course (oh, you thought it was over?) Larger, conservative, cash-hoarding companies will get what's coming to them. They will become slothful as they acquire needless size. Start-ups will feast on them.
Too many shocks in too short a time frame. Hoarding is understandable if you are the one in charge of the money and you need to make rational strategic decisions as kriskylon indicated.
The problem is the associated lack of investment in growth activities while hoarding. No One can see the future so we are always looking that the past for the current trend. Until the data from the previous six months looks positive many large companies will play it safe.
Not that big of a deal - just gives entrepreneurs and smaller businesses an avenue to compete. Given the trend in poor customer service for the last decade there are lots of opportunities out there for new companies and the next "big thing".
Why are firms hoarding cash?
Collapse in bank lending is the means by which the financial crisis was propagated into the real economy. Amongst other things, banks slashed lines of credit to even the most credit worthy businesses.
To restore liquidity (and ensure payment of wages), all private businesses must hoard cash - all businesses now need increased working capital to guarantee survival.
Only once the processes of deleveraging, and writing down of bad debt have run their course (and once government deficits are cut to end the crowding of markets with treasury bonds), will banks again begin to expand their books by offering credit lines to solvent business. Only then will it make business sense cease with corporate cash hoarding.
It is an irrefutable fact that the recent austerity economic news perturbs the firms and the entire universal market negatively. Another factor that is responsible for some companies' depression is the malicious and loathsome ''rumours''. Particularly they have bad influence on the purchasers' intuition, who resist on buying products and properties. As a result the stock market exchange seems to conform a good many issues.
Moreover the phenomenon of the stock market reduction is also based on a significant percentage of avaricious and greedy speculators, who struggle to weaken the entire financial system and the stock prices. Admittedly they interfere in the setting of the interest rates. For instance, don't you think that Greece is a victim of some illustrious and shrewd speculators?
Should firms continue hoarding their money without any investments, the entire economy progress will be an ''invincible dream''….
The inception of some new more profitable and reliable investments by the companies will assist any '' inevitable goal and economic refinement'' financially…
A question .... how does this amassing of corporate cash affect corporate officers' bonuses this year??
In my opinion there is fundamental contradiction in this article.
Though author admits that "A long period of high household saving seems assured in rich countries whose consumers lived off credit and have heavy debt burdens to show for it" yet he thinks that the solution to the crisis lies trough the spending (now money of firms).
Let's presume that firms begin huge investments in anything and produce some super-truper products of high value. WHO WILL BY THEM (let me remind, that high household savings are certain because of heavy debt already lying on them)?
In each chain of production of the product, or service, there is an essential link - FINAL CONSUMER. Without it, all the investments, money spending and etc. has no purpose whatsoever.
The main cause of this crisis is not the "Lehmann brothers", Wall Street, house market or financial speculations. It is that the main engine of the whole acceleration of the western scientific and technological progress - CONSUMER LENDING - is DEAD, as there are no more possibilities for refinansing of the debt of the households and bussiness.
I would like to remind you that at the begining of the so called "Reagonomics" the basic rate was 19 percent, NOW IT IS ZERO :)
And until the old system will finally die in agony, we will be forced to read and debate such articles, or believe that simple printing of US dollars and giving them to the financial institutions is sufficient, and that "economic recovery" is on the way...
Simple, private companies knows the risks of investing their hard earned cushion in the current clima, so decide to wait it out, for a decent investment.
To make an investment, one needs to make a reasonable assessment of the likely return. In the political environment of the past few years, with reckless talk and extraordinary quasi legal actions by government, it has become almost impossible to assess likely after tax returns on investment. And this situation continues. In the United States, we all "know" that the health care bill is unsustainable in reality. Something else or more will have to give. Businesses do not make discretionary investments in the face of this level of uncertainty. The fact that they are thus indirectly taxed by helping to fund a government deficit likely to be paid back in depreciated currency is indeed a great irony.
I note that some at least of this effect (for example share buy-backs) is driven by the finance/investment industry, whose malign effects are thus still being felt!
Time for some more definite preference for direct investment in wealth creation? Ultimately technology really is a must-have, especially for the West with its relatively expensive labour.
This sounds like a classic "change of preference to cash" scenario. Why on earth would anyone expect companies who have adopted this investment strategy to change it? The classic answer is for governments to increase the money supply, to provide enough cash for the companies to hold and at the same time have enough available for daily use and investment. The writer sounds a lot like Larry Summers, saying,"Wall Street ought to be more grateful to us for the help we've given them and start loaning more." Ridiculous.
Considering how little time has passed since a near-death experience in the financial markets, why wouldn't most be inclined to avoid risk by piling up cash ? Very few seem to have the fortunate inclination to profit by going against the grain.
There is a surplus of cash in corporate coffers, while there is a dearth of cash available to seed job-creating startups, and a shortage of jobs.
Large corporations are not generally the best ones to choose which early stage enterprises deserve investment.
Perhaps a tax-advantaged structure through which corporate cash could find its way into insightfully managed small pools of startup/seed capital, and thereby quickly into new enterprises, is what is called for now.
This should not be too difficult to design. Far more difficult would be the challenge of getting legislative bodies to focus on the immediate urgency of their doing so.
The U.S. economy in particular would get far more in the way of sustainable job creation through the quick, thoughtful and abundant supplying of seed capital to startups than it would ever get from "shovel-ready projects".
The solution to construct a bridge of overwhelmingly tempting tax incentives to cause movement of capital from those who have the cash hoards -- corporations -- to those who can put them to job-creating uses -- entrepreneurs. And to do it now.
Well let's see.. I've got a stockpile of cash, what can I invest in? I can't lend it to anyone, because any of the normal assets I would want as security are overvalued - property, future corporate and tax cash flows will only get cheaper.
I don't believe that the exchange rate will give me a real competitive advantage, because where it matters - between the west on the one side, and emerging economies and raw materials producers on the other - it is largely fixed, so I'm not going to invest in exports.
And finally, the constant stream of cheap labour from emerging economy countrysides is not going to stop anytime soon (and they know a thing or two about saving), which means western resources will need to get cheaper in order to compete.
It can be summed up in two words, whether I'm a banker, corporate, household or a SWF sitting on piles of western cash: deflation expectations. The West is not in some temporary fit of low confidence, it is getting aligned with the Chinese ex-farmer, and therefore relatively poorer in the process.
well... Maybe corporates are changing their structure in the aftermath of the biiig crisis which presumably transformed the lending/borrowing parameters. Maybe corporates will be cash driven from now on. Not borrowing driven.

POSTED: Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 10:50am
UPDATED: Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 7:09pm
AUSTIN, TX - The governor of Texas is making an urgent call for prayer to end the state's devastating wildfires.
Rick Perry has proclaimed the three-day period from Friday, April 22, to Sunday, April 24, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas, following extreme drought conditions that have sparked dangerous wildfires.
1.8 million Texas acres have gone up in smoke in the past few weeks.
"Throughout our history, both as a state and as individuals, Texans have been strengthened, assured and lifted up through prayer," Gov. Perry said. "It is fitting that Texans should join together in prayer to humbly seek an end to this ongoing drought and these devastating wildfires, and for the safety of the brave firefighters and emergency management officials who have worked tirelessly to protect lives and property around the state."
Gov. Perry urges Texans of all faiths and religious traditions to offer prayer for the healing of the land, rebuilding of communities and the restoration of our normal and robust way of life in Texas.

As an eyewitness to the events, ROH World champion Kevin Steen punched two fans following his successful ROH Title defense at the "Boiling Point" Internet PPV event in Providence, R.I. on Saturday. One fan dropped to the floor after being punched. The other fan was crying and shaking after being punched. Included was a full-force punch to the face.
There was no initial indication of why Steen went after the fans. ROH has yet to address the incident on Twitter or Facebook or by issuing a statement.
Sean Radican, who tweeted this to PWTorch, said the following:
"Afterward, Steen punched a kid right in the face and he bled from the mouth. Another kid also got knocked out. They were not plants. I was a foot away and one dude got knocked out and the second one got clocked, too. I didn't see what the fans did to cause Steen to do what he did, but I'm pretty sure he could have just walked away. Two people got hurt badly."

Rats actually pretty nice to each other, study finds
A study published in the journal science showed that rats, despite their reputation for being disloyal, are actually quite empathetic, helping to free their trapped cagemates even if there is no obvious reward for having done so.
The act of helping others out of empathy has long been associated strictly with humans and other primates, but new research shows that rats exhibit this prosocial behavior as well.
In the new study, laboratory rats repeatedly freed their cage-mates from containers, even though there was no clear reward for doing so. The rodents didn't bother opening empty containers or those holding stuffed rats.
To the researchers' surprise, when presented with both a rat-holding container and a one containing chocolate — the rats' favorite snack — the rodents not only chose to open both containers, but also to share the treats they liberated.
Peggy Mason, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago and lead author of the new study, says that the research shows that our empathy and impulse to help others are common across other mammals.
"Helping is our evolutionary inheritance," Mason told LiveScience. "Our study suggests that we don't have to cognitively decide to help an individual in distress; rather, we just have to let our animal selves express themselves."
Empathetic rats
In previous studies, researchers found that rodents show the simplest form of empathy, called emotional contagion — a phenomenon where one individual's emotions spread to others nearby. For example, a crying baby will trigger the other babies in a room to cry as well. Likewise, rats will become distressed when they see other rats in distress, or they will display pain behavior if they see other rats in pain.

I read somewhere and I can't remember where, that some folks add there darker grains to the sparge rather than to the mash. In effect, just steeping them. (I used search here, but didn't find anything terribly useful.) Anyone do this? I have extremely soft water, but like darker beers - and getting the water just right using salts can be a PITA.
I too have very soft water and was wondering the same. The few darks I've brewed were too harsh IMO. Anyone care to share their experience/knowledge on this subject?
I have never done that, and to correct any harshness I have found an additional week to month in primary/secondary cures all.
--- In Primary: Belgium Chimay clones. In Secondary: Braggot, pale ale, end of the world white. Conditioning: Mead, Cider, braggot, Belgium Wheat. On Tap: Clones, Chimay Blue, Red, Porter, malted cider. Bottles: Far, far, too many to list.
I don't do, it, but Palmer mentions it in How to Brew:How to Brew - By John Palmer - Things You Can Do Differently Next Time
JZ's mentioned it a couple times in articles as a general technique. IIRC, the last time was in one of his BYO Style articles on a stout sub category. Personally, I've never had soft enough water to need to bother but I'd prb start treating my water first before trying to move grains into different parts of the mash/lauter process.
Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to try the late-mash approach. This seems less likely to be detrimental vs. taking a stab at adding salts. My MO is to keep things simple and brew with the water I have. If this doesn't work, then I'll try gypsum on the next batch.
I've done it, but not for soft water reasons. Rather I did it because you can extract color, but not much flavor. It can be good for getting 'red' SRM colors, while a full mash can push you too dark and into the 'brown' color range.
One thing i've done to combat harshness (aside from substituting grains) is a cold steep the night before. Let the dark grains steep in room temp water overnight, then after the mash add the dark liquid to the boil. Very very smooth every time i've done it.
~~ Malted barley wants to become beer. ~~
cactusgarrett- Were you still able to capture the roasty/chocolatey goodness using the cold steep? I'm planning a porter using something like 1/4lb black patent and 1/2 chocolate or carafa.
Resurrecting this: My water is almost like distilled, so I always have to adjust it for darker beers. However, I've had mixed results. Should I just mash with some 5.2 without the really dark grains, then throw the dark grains into the sparge. Or possibly cold steep them? Just wondering do I need to do any water adjustments for them or just throw them in since I'm basically steeping them.

Lake Tahoe ( /ˈtɑːhoʊ/; Washo: dáʔaw)[3][4] is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada of the United States. At a surface elevation of 6,225 ft (1,897 m), it is located along the border between California and Nevada, west of Carson City. Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America.[5] Its depth is 1,645 ft (501 m), making it the USA's second-deepest (the deepest is Crater Lake in Oregon, being 300 ft (91 m) deeper, at 1,945 ft (593 m)).[2] Additionally, Lake Tahoe is listed as the 26th largest lake by volume in the world at 122,160,280 acre·ft (150.68249 km3).
The lake was formed about 2 million years ago and is a part of the Lake Tahoe Basin with the modern lake being shaped during the ice ages. It is known for the clarity of its water and the panorama of surrounding mountains on all sides.[6] The area surrounding the lake is also referred to as Lake Tahoe, or simply Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe is a major tourist attraction in both Nevada and California. It is home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's economy and reputation.[7][8] Mountain and lake scenery are attractions throughout the year. The Nevada side also includes large casinos. Highways provide year-round access from Reno, Carson City, and Sacramento.

Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S., with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet (501 m),[2][9] trailing only Oregon's Crater Lake at 1,949 ft (594 m).[9] Tahoe is also the 16th[10] deepest lake in the world, and the fifth deepest in average depth. It is about 22 mi (35 km) long and 12 mi (19 km) wide and has 72 mi (116 km) of shoreline and a surface area of 191 square miles (490 km2). Approximately two-thirds of the shoreline is in California.[11] The south shore is dominated by the lake's largest city, South Lake Tahoe, California, which adjoins the town of Stateline, Nevada, while Tahoe City, California, is located on the lake's northwest shore. Although highways run within sight of the lake shore for much of Tahoe's perimeter, many important parts of the shoreline now lie within state parks or are protected by the United States Forest Service. The Lake Tahoe Watershed (USGS Huc 18100200) of 505 sq mi (1,310 km2) includes the land area that drains to the lake and the Lake Tahoe drainage divide traverses the same general area as the Tahoe Rim Trail.
The Lake Tahoe Basin was formed by a geologic block (normal) faulting. A geologic block fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust causing blocks of land to move up or down. Uplifted blocks created the Carson Range on the east and the Sierra Nevada on the west. Down-dropped blocks (a graben) created the Lake Tahoe Basin in between.[2]
More technically, Lake Tahoe is the youngest of several extensional basins of the Walker Lane Deformation Belt that accommodates nearly 12 mm/yr of dextral shear between the Sierra Nevada Microplate and North America.[12][13] The Lake Tahoe basin is formed by a series of large down-to-the-east normal faults, including the West Tahoe–Dollar Point fault, Stateline/North Tahoe fault and the Incline Village fault.[14] These right-stepping en-echelon faults are capable of large magnitude 7 earthquakes, with the most recent M7 paleoquake (~1500 AD) occurring on the Incline Village fault with nearly 9.7 ft (3.0 m) of vertical offset.[15] The West Tahoe-Dollar Point Fault (WTDPF) appears to be the most active and potentially hazardous fault in the basin. A study in Fallen Leaf Lake, just south of Lake Tahoe, used seafloor mapping techniques to image evidence for paleoearthquakes on the WTDPF and revealed the last earthquake occurred between 4,100 and 4,500 years ago.[16]
Some of the highest peaks of the Lake Tahoe Basin that formed during the process of Lake Tahoe creation are Freel Peak at 10,891 feet (3,320 m), Monument Peak at 10,067 feet (3,068 m), Pyramid Peak at 9,983 feet (3,043 m) (in the Desolation Wilderness), and Mount Tallac at 9,735 feet (2,967 m).[2] The north shore boasts three peaks at 10,000+ feet; Mount Rose, Houghton and Relay peaks. Mt. Rose is a very popular hiking and backcountry skiing destination.
Eruptions from the extinct volcano Mount Pluto formed a dam on the north side. Melting snow filled the southern and lowest part of the basin to form the ancestral Lake Tahoe. Rain and runoff added additional water.[17]
Modern Lake Tahoe was shaped and landscaped by scouring glaciers during the Ice Ages, which began a million or more years ago. Lake Tahoe is fed from 63 tributaries with the Truckee River as the only outlet.[5] The Truckee flows northeast through Reno, Nevada and into Pyramid Lake, Nevada which has no outlet.
Soils of the basin come primarily from andesitic volcanic rocks and granodiorite, with minor areas of metamorphic rock. Some of the valley bottoms and lower hill slopes are mantled with glacial moraines, or glacial outwash material derived from the parent rock. Cryopsamments, Cryumbrepts, rockland, rock outcrops and rubble and stony colluvium account for over 70% of the land area in the basin (see USA soil taxonomy). The basin soils (in the < 2 mm fraction) are generally 65-85% sand (0.05–2.0 mm).
Given the great depth of Lake Tahoe, and the locations of the normal faults within the deepest portions of the lake, modeling suggests that earthquakes on these faults can trigger tsunamis. Wave heights of these tsunamis are predicted to be on the order of 10 to 33 ft (3 to 10 m) in height, capable of traversing the lake in just a few minutes.[18] A massive collapse of the western edge of the basin that formed McKinney Bay around 50,000 years ago is thought to have generated a tsunami/seiche wave with a height approaching 330 ft (100 m).[19]
Mean annual precipitation ranges from over 55 inches (1440 mm) for watersheds on the west side of the basin to about 26 inches (660 mm) near the lake on the east side of the basin. Most of the precipitation falls as snow between November and April, although rainstorms combined with rapid snow melt account for the largest floods. There is a pronounced annual runoff of snowmelt in late spring and early summer, the timing of which varies from year to year. In some years, summertime monsoon storms from the Great Basin bring intense rainfall, especially to high elevations on the northeast side of the basin.
August is normally the warmest month at the Lake Tahoe Airport (elevation 6,254 ft (1,906 m)) with an average maximum of 78.7 °F (25.9 °C) and an average minimum of 39.8 °F (4.3 °C). January is the coolest month with an average maximum of 41.0 °F (5.0 °C) and an average minimum of 15.1 °F (−9.4 °C). The all-time maximum of 99 °F (37.2 °C) was recorded on July 22, 1988. The all-time minimum of −29 °F (−33.9 °C) was recorded on December 9, 1972, and February 7, 1989. Temperatures exceed 90 °F (32.2 °C) on an average of 2.0 days annually. Minimum temperatures of 32 °F (0 °C) or lower occur on an average of 231.8 days annually, and minimum temperatures of 0 °F (−17.8 °C) or lower occur on an average of 7.6 days annually. Freezing temperatures have occurred every month of the year.[20][21]
Vegetation in the basin is dominated by a mixed conifer forest of Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), lodgepole pine (P. contorta), white fir (Abies concolor), and red fir (A. magnifica).[22] The basin also contains significant areas of wet meadows and riparian areas, dry meadows, brush fields (with Arctostaphylos and Ceanothus) and rock outcrop areas, especially at higher elevations. Ceanothus is capable of fixing nitrogen, but mountain alder (Alnus tenuifolia), which grows along many of the basin's streams, springs and seeps, fixes far greater quantities, and contributes measurably to nitrate-N concentrations in some small streams. The beaches of Lake Tahoe are the only known habitat for the rare Lake Tahoe yellowcress (Rorippa subumbellata), a plant which grows in the wet sand between low- and high-water marks.[23]
Each autumn, from late September through mid-October, mature kokanee salmon (Oncorhyncus nerka), transform from silver-blue color to a fiery vermilion, and run up Taylor Creek, near South Lake Tahoe. As spawning season approaches the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink (Neovison vison), bears (Ursus americanus), and Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). These salmon were transplanted from the North Pacific to Lake Tahoe in 1944.[24]
North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) were re-introduced to the Tahoe Basin by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the U.S. Forest Service between 1934 and 1949. Descended from no more than nine individuals, 1987 beaver populations on the upper and lower Truckee River had reached a density of 0.72 colonies (3.5 beavers) per kilometer.[25] At the present time beaver have been seen in Tahoe Keys, Meeks Creek at Meeks Bay on the western shore, and King's Beach on the north shore, so the descendants of the original nine beavers have apparently migrated around most of Lake Tahoe.[26][27] That beaver were once native to the area is supported by the fact that the Washo have a word for beaver, c'imhélhel[28][29] and the northern Paiute of Walker Lake, Honey Lake and Pyramid Lake have a word for beaver su-i'-tu-ti-kut'-teh.[30] When Stephen Powers visited the northern Paiute to collect Indian materials for the Smithsonian Institution in preparation for the Centennial Exhibition of 1876, he reported that the northern Paiute wrapped their hair in strips of beaver fur, made medicine from parts of beaver and that their creation legend included beaver.[30]
The area around Lake Tahoe was originally inhabited by the Washoe tribe of Native Americans. Lake Tahoe was the center and heart of Washoe Indian territory, including the upper valleys of the Walker, Carson and Truckee Rivers. The English name for Lake Tahoe derives from the mispronunciation of the Washo word "dá'aw," meaning "Lake".[4]
Lt. John C. Frémont was the first person of European descent to see Lake Tahoe, during Fremont's second exploratory expedition on February 14, 1844.[31] John Calhoun Johnson, Sierra explorer and founder of "Johnson's Cutoff" (now U.S. Route 50), was the first white man to see Meeks Bay and from a peak above the lake he named Fallen Leaf Lake after his Indian guide. His first job in the west was in the government service, carrying the mail on snowshoes from Placerville to Nevada City, during which time he named the lake "Lake Bigler" in honor of California's third governor John Bigler. In 1853 William Eddy, the surveyor general of California, identified Tahoe as Lake Bigler. In 1862 the U.S. Department of the Interior first introduced the name Tahoe. Both names were used until well into the next century. The lake didn't receive its official and final designation as Lake Tahoe until 1945.
California and Nevada reached the compromise to partition Tahoe between the two when Nevada became a state in 1864. With the state line east of the approximate centerline of the lake and then at 39 degrees north latitude, the state border runs southeasterly towards the Colorado River.[32][33]
Upon discovery of gold in the South Fork of the American River in 1848, thousands of gold seekers going west passed near the basin on their way to the gold fields. European civilization first made its mark in the Lake Tahoe basin with the 1858 discovery of the Comstock Lode, a silver deposit just 15 miles (24 km) to the east in Virginia City, Nevada. From 1858 until about 1890, logging in the basin supplied large timbers to shore up the underground workings of the Comstock mines. The logging was so extensive that loggers cut down almost all of the native forest. In 1864, Tahoe City was founded as a resort community for Virginia City, the first recognition of the basin's potential as a destination resort area.[34]
Public appreciation of the Tahoe basin grew, and during the 1912, 1913 and 1918 congressional sessions, congressmen tried unsuccessfully to designate the basin as a national park.[34]
While Lake Tahoe is a natural lake, it is also used for water storage by the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District (TCID). The lake level is controlled by a dam built in 1913 at the lake's only outlet, the Truckee River, at Tahoe City. The 18-foot (5.5 m) high dam can increase the lake's capacity by 744,600 acre·ft (0.9185 km3).[35]
During the first half of the 20th century, development around the lake consisted of a few vacation homes. The post-World War II population and building boom, followed by construction of gambling casinos in the Nevada part of the basin during the mid-1950s, and completion of the interstate highway links for the 1960 Winter Olympics held at Squaw Valley, resulted in a dramatic increase in development within the basin. From 1960 to 1980, the permanent residential population increased from about 10,000 to greater than 50,000, and the summer population grew from about 10,000 to about 90,000.[34] Since the 1980s, development has slowed due to controls on land use.
Lake Tahoe lies within the borders of both California and Nevada, and as such is not governed by any single entity. In California, Lake Tahoe is divided between Placer County and El Dorado County. In Nevada, Lake Tahoe is divided among Washoe County, Douglas County and Carson City (an independent city).
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is a bi-state compact between California and Nevada, that is charged with environmental protection of the Lake Tahoe Basin through land-use regulation and planning.[36] Schisms between TRPA and local residents led to the formation of grass-roots organizations that hold firm to strict environmentalism.[37]
Lake Tahoe is also the location of several 19th and 20th century palatial homes of historical significance. The Thunderbird Lodge built by George Whittel Jr once included nearly 27 miles (43 km) of the Nevada shoreline. Vikingsholm was the original settlement on Emerald Bay and included an island teahouse and a 38 room home. The Ehrman Mansion is a summer home built by a former Wells Fargo president in Sugar Pine Point and is now a state park.
In spite of land-use planning and export of treated sewage effluent from the basin, the lake is becoming increasingly eutrophic (having an excessive richness of nutrients), with primary productivity increasing by more than 5% annually, and clarity decreasing at an average rate of 0.25 meters per year.[38] Until the early 1980s, nutrient-limitation studies showed that primary productivity in the lake was nitrogen-limited. Now, after a half-century of accelerated nitrogen input (much of it from direct atmospheric deposition), the lake is phosphorus-limited. Swift[39] concluded that "suspended inorganic sediments and phytoplanktonic algae both contribute significantly to the reduction in clarity, and that suspended particulate matter, rather than dissolved organic matter, are the dominant causes of clarity loss." The largest source of fine sediment particles to Lake Tahoe is urban stormwater runoff, comprising 72 percent of the total fine sediment particle load.[40] The urban uplands also provide the largest opportunity to reduce fine sediment particle and phosphorus contributions to the lake. Historic clarity of approximately 30 meters can be achieved with total reduction of approximately 75% from urban sources.[41]
The clarity of Lake Tahoe continues to decrease, although the rate of decrease is slowing.[42] Fine sediment, much of it resulting from land disturbance in the basin, accounts for about half of the loss in clarity. The year 2010 had a low average Secchi depth, with the depth of 64.4 feet being the second lowest ever recorded (the lowest was 64.1 feet in 1997). It represents a decrease of 3.7 feet from the previous year.[42]
Lake Tahoe is a tributary watershed drainage element within the Truckee River Basin, and its sole outlet is the Truckee River, which continues on to discharge to Pyramid Lake. Because of the sensitivity of Truckee River water quality (involving two protected species, the cui-ui[43] sucker fish and the Lahontan cutthroat trout), this drainage basin has been studied extensively. The primary investigations were stimulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who funded the development of the DSSAM model to analyze water quality below Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe never freezes.[44] Since 1970, it has mixed to a depth of at least 1,300 ft (400 m) a total of 6 or 7 times. Dissolved oxygen is relatively high from top to bottom. Analysis of the temperature records in Lake Tahoe has shown that the lake warmed (between 1969 and 2002) at an average rate of 0.015 °C per year. The warming is caused primarily by increasing air temperatures, and secondarily by increasing downward long-wave radiation. The warming trend is reducing the frequency of deep mixing in the lake, and may have important effects on water clarity and nutrient cycling.
Since the 1960s, the Lake's food web and zooplankton populations have undergone major changes. In 1963–65, opossum shrimp (Mysis diluviana) were introduced to enhance the food supply for the introduced Kokanee salmon (Onchorhynchus nerka). The shrimp began feeding on the lake's cladocerans (Daphnia and Bosmina), and their populations virtually disappeared by 1971.[45] The shrimp provide a food resource for salmon and trout, but also compete with juvenile fish for zooplankton. Since the 1970s, the cladoceran populations have somewhat recovered, but not to former levels.
In June 2007, the Angora Fire burned approximately 3,100 acres (1,300 ha) throughout the South Lake Tahoe area. While the impact of ash on the lake's ecosystem is predicted to be minimal, the impact of potential future erosion is not yet known.[46]
Until recently, construction on the banks of the Lake had been largely under the control of wealthy real estate developers. Construction activities have resulted in a clouding of the lake's blue waters. Currently, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency is regulating construction along the shoreline.[47] (and has won two Federal Supreme Court battles over recent decisions). These regulations are unpopular with many residents, especially those in the Tahoe Lakefront Homeowners Association.[48]
The League to Save Lake Tahoe (Keep Tahoe Blue)[49] has been an environmental watchdog in the Lake Tahoe Basin for 50 years. Founded when a proposal to build a four-lane highway around the lake—with a bridge over the entrance to Emerald Bay—was proposed in 1957, the League has thwarted poorly designed development projects and environmentally unsound planning. The League embraces responsible and diversified use of the Lake's resources while protecting and restoring its natural attributes.[50]
Since 1980, the Lake Tahoe Interagency Monitoring Program (LTIMP) has been measuring stream discharge and concentrations of nutrients and sediment in up to 10 tributary streams in the Lake Tahoe Basin, California-Nevada. The objectives of the LTIMP are to acquire and disseminate the water quality information necessary to support science-based environmental planning and decision making in the basin. The LTIMP is a cooperative program with support from 12 federal and state agencies with interests in the Tahoe Basin. This data set, together with more recently acquired data on urban runoff water quality, is being used by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board to develop a program (mandated by the Clean Water Act) to limit the flux of nutrients and fine sediment to the Lake.
UC Davis remains a primary steward of the lake. The UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center is dedicated to research, education and public outreach, and to providing objective scientific information for restoration and sustainable use of the Lake Tahoe Basin.[51] Each year, it produces a well-publicized "State of the Lake" assessment report.
Much of the area surrounding Lake Tahoe is devoted to the tourism industry and there are many restaurants, ski slopes, golf courses and casinos catering to visitors.
During ski season, thousands of people from all over Nevada and California, including Reno, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento, flock to the slopes for downhill skiing. Lake Tahoe, in addition to its panoramic beauty, is well known for its blizzards.[7]
Some of the major ski areas in Tahoe include:
The majority of the ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe region are on the northern end of the lake, near Truckee, California and Reno, Nevada. Kirkwood, Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly are located on the southern side of the lake, approximately 80 miles (129 km) from Reno. Scattered throughout Tahoe are public and private sled parks. Some, such as Granlibakken are equipped with rope tows to help sledders get up the hill.
Many ski areas around Tahoe also have snow tubing, such as Squaw Valley. Throughout Tahoe, cross-country skiing, snowmobile riding and snowshoeing are also popular.
During late Spring to early Fall, the lake is popular for water sports and beach activities. The two cities most identified with the Lake Tahoe tourist area are South Lake Tahoe, California and the smaller Stateline; smaller centers on the northern shoreline include Tahoe City and Kings Beach.
Other popular activities include parasailing, jet ski rentals and eco-friendly paddle sport rentals. There are rental locations located around Lake Tahoe. Kayaking and stand up paddle boards have also become very popular.
Boating is a primary activity in Tahoe in the summer. The lake is home to one of the most prestigious wooden boat shows in the country, the Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance, held every August. There are lake front restaurants all over the lake, most equipped with docks and buoys (See the restaurants section). There are all sorts of boating events, such as sailboat racing, firework shows over the lake, guided cruises, and more. As an interstate waterway, Lake Tahoe is subject to the United States Coast Guard. Lake Tahoe is home to Coast Guard Station Lake Tahoe.[52]
SCUBA diving is popular at Lake Tahoe, with some dive sites offering dramatic drop-offs or wall dives. Diving at Lake Tahoe is considered advanced due to the increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS) while diving at such a high altitude.[53][54]
There are hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails all around the lake. They range in length, difficulty and popularity. One of the most famous of Tahoe's trails is the Tahoe Rim Trail, a 165-mile (270-km) trail that circumnavigates the lake. Directly to the west of the lake is the Granite Chief Wilderness, which provides great hiking and wilderness camping. Also, to the southwest is the very popular Desolation Wilderness. One of the most popular trailheads is the Eagle Lake Trailhead. The Flume Trail is one of Mountain Biking Magazine's Top 10 Trails in the US. There are also several paved off-road bicycle paths.
Gambling is legal on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Casinos, each with a variety of slot machines and table games, are located on the South Shore in Stateline, and on the North Shore in Crystal Bay and Incline Village.
When Nevada legalized gambling in 1931, the finest casino at the lake had already been open for years. First built on the North Shore in Crystal Bay by Robert Sherman in 1926,[55] the Calneva cabin became the property of Norman Henry Biltz and was sold to Bill Graham and Jim McKay in 1929.
The Calneva was rebuilt after a fire in 1937 and expanded several times, most noticeably in 1969 when the high-rise hotel was built. Along the way, Frank Sinatra owned the property in the early 1960s, shared his cabins with the likes of Sam Giancana and Marilyn Monroe, and sold out at the height of the area's popularity.
Other casinos at the North Shore include the Crystal Bay Club, first built in 1937 as the Ta-Neva-Ho; the Tahoe Biltmore, and the Nugget. The Hyatt Regency is found at Incline Village.
At South Shore, Bill Harrah purchased the Stateline Country Club which had stood since 1931 and built Harrah's Tahoe. Other casinos include Harvey's, Montbleu, and the Lakeside Inn.
Lake Tahoe can be reached directly by car, and indirectly by train or air. The nearest passenger train service is the Amtrak station in Truckee.
Visitors can reach Lake Tahoe under ideal conditions within two hours from the Sacramento area, one hour from Reno or thirty minutes from Carson City. In winter months, chains or snow tires are often necessary to reach Tahoe from any direction. Traffic can be heavy on weekends due to tourists if not also from weather.
The primary routes to Lake Tahoe are on Interstate 80 via Truckee, U.S. Highway 50, and Nevada Highway 431 via Reno. Most of the highways accessing and encircling Lake Tahoe are paved two-lane mountain roads. US 50 is a four-lane highway (from the canyon of the South Fork American River at Riverton, over the Sierra Nevada at Echo Summit, and into the Lake Tahoe Basin, is a mainly two-lane road) passing south of the lake and along part of the eastern shore.
California Highway 89 follows the western shore of the lake through the picturesque wilderness and connects camping, fishing and hiking locations such as those at Emerald Bay State Park, DL Bliss State Park and Camp Richardson. Farther along are communities such as Meeks Bay and Tahoe City. Finally, the highway turns away from the lake and heads northwest toward Truckee.
California Highway 28 completes the circuit from Tahoe City around the northern shore to communities such as Kings Beach, Crystal Bay, and into Incline Village, Nevada where the road becomes Nevada Highway 28. Highway 28 returns along the eastern shore to US Highway 50 near Spooner Lake.
The Ponderosa Ranch of the TV series Bonanza was formerly located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.[56] The opening sequence of the TV series was filmed at the McFaul Creek Meadow, with Mount Tallac in the background. In September 2004 the Ponderosa Ranch closed its doors, after being sold to developer David Duffield for an undisclosed price.[57][58]
The 1973 film The Godfather Part II used the lakeside estate Fleur de Lac as the location of several scenes, including the elaborate confirmation celebration, the Senator's shakedown attempt of Michael, the assassination attempt on Michael, Fredo's death while fishing, and the closing scene of Michael sitting alone outside. Fleur de Lac, on the western California shore of Lake Tahoe, was formerly the Henry Kaiser estate. The surrounding lakeside area has been developed into a private gated condominum community and some of the buildings of the "Corleone compound" still exist, including the boathouse.[59]

Amazon Indians Ask 'Biopirates' to Pay for Rain-Forest Riches
The dozen tropical plants growing in dappled sunlight under the thick Amazon canopy hardly look like the focus of a controversy with global impact.
But the plants, part of a modest nursery on a Kaxinawa Indian reserve in southwestern Brazil, stand center stage in a brewing battle over what Brazilians call "biopiracy."
Indians and state officials accuse an Austrian-born Brazilian of using a nonprofit charity, Living Jungle, to trick the Indians of Acre State into sharing their knowledge of plants and their traditional uses. The Indians helped catalog more than 300 species and searched for new ones. With the Kaxinawas' help, Living Jungle began developing a nursery of potentially exportable plants for development by international pharmaceutical companies. Officials further claim that while the potential profits from development of newly discovered plants are huge, the Indians received only a few baseball caps and an occasional box of aspirin as compensation.
In growing numbers, pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies are turning to the Amazon to find the plants, barks, and seeds that might provide tomorrow's medical and beauty products. And officials are responding with measures designed to protect Brazil from the kind of biological theft it has experienced in the past.
Brazilians still have bad memories of perhaps one of the first biopiracy cases. Last century, British interests smuggled rubber tree seeds to Malaysia, ending the Amazon's lucrative monopoly on the rubber trade. Not surprisingly, the Kaxinawa case has sparked substantial interest.
"Our gold, our oil, is our biodiversity," says Edvaldo Magalhes, a state legislator who sponsored Acre's recently approved biopiracy legislation. "But while ... big companies are already heavily involved in developing uses for jungle plants, we are only starting to demand a share of the benefit," he says. "We have to protect our wealth."
Brazil has a congressional investigative commission looking into the issue, and a federal biopiracy law is in the works. Brazil passed a biodiversity law in 1993, but the existing law is very general and lacks regulations.

After I first heard that RIM was making another attempt at a full touchscreen device I got excited but then remembered that Blackberry fans felt let down with the launch with the storm, then the storm 2. Those devices definitely left a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to RIM making a full touchscreen device. However, I believe the success of the Torch 9800 played a big part in the making of the Torch 9850/9860. RIM saw that there was a market for touch screen BlackBerrys and decided to go ahead with the full touchscreen Torch. I would say that the most impressive features of this device are Liquid Graphics and the powerful 1.2GHz processor. Read on to get the full scoop on RIM's first successful full touch screen device.

Tag: blackberry torch 9850
More pictures from the event available from PhotoJunkie.ca.
First of all, can you believe these model numbers? RIM couldn't have made them more confusing. I have been writing about BlackBerry for years and I simply cannot remember what device they're talking about when they say 9850, 9860 or 9810. The 98xx doesn't even represent the same device anymore. You used to be able to write 97XX and you knew the 9700 and 9780 both looked the same, but not anymore. From now on, we're going to refer to the devices by name only. The following seem most appropriate:
Bold 9900 = Bold Touch
Torch 9810 = Torch 2
Torch 9850/9860 = Storm 3
Recently, we attended the BlackBerry 7 Fan Night in Toronto and we had an opportunity to get some quality time with RIM's upcoming BlackBerry 7 devices. There are a lot of things to say about these devices with some Pros and Cons for each of them. Generally, these devices are everything we saw last year but turned up around 40%. The user experience is faster, with homescreen switching and app launching all happening much faster (Liquid Graphics), and the web browsing experience is also much faster. The Torch 9850 and 9860, aka the Storm 3, seems to be RIM bringing back the all-touch experience (with trackpad), and it's probably the most risky of the BlackBerry 7 devices.
Continue reading 'First Impressions of the Bold 9900, Torch 9810 and Torch 9850/9860′
RIM announced the latest BlackBerry 7 devices and it looks like they're showing off a new Bold and 2 iterations of the Torch. The latest devices feature the following core benefits:
- Faster browsing
- Proprietary Liquid Graphics technology for seamless touch screen navigation
- Voice activated universal search
- New augmented reality experiences that can be seamlessly integrated with BBM 6
- A comprehensive list of pre-installed apps, including: BBM™ 6, BlackBerry® App World™, BlackBerry® Balance, BlackBerry® Protect, and more
The first thing that struck us when we saw the list was a lack of mention of the Touch Curve, but that may be coming later. It's also a little strange that the full touch device with a trackpad, the Torch 9850, got the same branding as the slider keyboard. You would think that they should be separate so that when someone says "did you get the new Torch?" you actually know what device they mean. Consumers hate model numbers but RIM can't let go of them for some reason.
Here is the lineup of devices:

Aston Villa to hold emergency talks with James Milner before World Cup
Paul Faulkner, the club's chief operating officer, will meet Milner and a representative from the Professional Footballers Association after England have played warm-up matches against Mexico and Japan, to conduct what have been described as preliminary discussions. It is unlikely the meeting would result in the 24-year-old signing a new contract with the Midlands club. It is understood Aston Villa are hoping to secure a verbal agreement from Milner, before he departs for South Africa on June 2, that he will commit his future once he returns from international duty. Related ArticlesManchester City consider upping Milner bidMilner's best position?Aston Villa reject £20m Man City bid for MilnerMartin O'Neill to stay on at Aston VillaO'Neill's player talks are good signSport on televisionConspiracy theorists will perhaps find it intriguing that it is not yet certain whether Martin O'Neill and Randy Lerner will attend the meeting. Lerner, the club's owner, will join Faulkner as long as his commitments in the Unites States do not cause a conflict. One presumes that O'Neill would want to present the vision he has for the club. Certainly, it appears as though their combined persuasive skills will be required if Villa are to retain Milner — if they decide to reject an anticipated bid that will almost certainly surpass £25m, that is — with it becoming increasingly apparent that the former Newcastle winger would not be averse to the move. Villa have already rejected a £20 million offer from City out of hand this week, while sources insist that contrary to reports Chelsea have not - yet - enquired about the player.

WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆö There were plenty of cuts in the fiscal year 2015 budget, but the most controversial was the reduction of 0.8 deanŌĆÖs position at the Chariho Middle School. Echoing last weekŌĆÖs budget hearing, parents and teachers came to the microphone at Tuesday nightŌĆÖs school committee hearing to explain the need for dean and to request that the position be reinstated.
According to the FY15 plan, the middle school would have 1.2 deans (instead of two), four guidance counselors, a principal and and a vice principal.
WYOMING ŌĆō Edmund Jordan kept a livery stable in the early 1880s. But being a liveryman certainly wasnŌĆÖt what he became known far and wide for. Later that decade, JordanŌĆÖs new tavern in Wyoming became the watering hole for every inebriate within miles. Referred to as one of the vilest places in Washington County, it was known to be the scene for violent brawls, brazen theft and the harboring of prostitutes.
CHARLESTOWN - Rhode Island State Police, along with Hopkinton and Charlestown Police, arrested two Charlestown residents Tuesday on drug distribution charges.
Darren Higgs, 48, of 47 Wiitala Drive, Charlestown, was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in excess of five kilograms, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and conspiracy to violate the controlled substance act.
HOPKINTON ŌĆö Sen. Catherine Cool Rumsey and Reps. Larry Valencia and Brian Patrick Kennedy updated the town council on Monday night concerning General Assembly bills to change the Chariho Act.
Representing Richmond, Valencia, D-District 39, said that he had submitted two bills in the House: H-7568, which would change the Chariho ActŌĆÖs elementary school matriculation rules that require students to attend in their town of residence; and, H-7553, which would reduce the school committee membership from 11 to nine. Valencia said he had not requested hearings for the bills yet.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆö From the podium on the middle school stage, Hopkinton Town Moderator Amy Williams facilitated communications between Chariho residents and the school committee during TuesdayŌĆÖs annual regional school district meeting, which gave voters an opportunity to ask questions about the 2014-2015 budget, which is $556,000 less than the previous year.
Of the 100 audience members, about 25 came to the microphone to air their questions, which ranged from concerns about staffing cuts at the middle school, especially the loss of one dean, to the timing of the addition of an elementary-level foreign language program to the budget surplus.
CHARLESTOWN - The Charlestown Police Department now has another tool available to deal with the increased concerns of pharmaceutical drug overdose.
Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is an antidote used by EMTs to treat opioid overdose, which includes heroine, oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl. Through the Charlestown Ambulance-Rescue Service and CVS Pharmacy in Charlestown, local police officers are now trained and ready to administer the antidote.
HOPKINTON ŌĆō Despite the pleasant farms and warm-hearted rural folks, the behavior of South County residents in times past didnŌĆÖt always make for a pretty picture. On numerous occasions, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was called in to investigate the criminal, the heartless, and the often grotesque actions of our townspeople.
CHARLESTOWN ŌĆö The town council expressed their approval and appreciation of their new Town Administrator Mark S. Stankiewicz by voting unanimously for a ŌĆ£Highly CommendedŌĆØ performance review on his one year anniversary in the position.
Following the rules of the Charlestown Charter during the ŌĆ£probationary period,ŌĆØ or the first year of employment, the council reviewed StankiewiczŌĆÖs performance at the three-month and six-month marks, and provided an evaluation in writing at 12 months from the date of his appointment, which was Feb. 12, 2013.
WESTERLY ŌĆö In its third annual contest for the ŌĆ£Happiest Seaside Town in America,ŌĆØ Coastal Living Magazine has nominated the seaside village of Watch Hill.
The 10 finalists were chosen from every location that was considered a ŌĆ£dream townŌĆØ over the past 15 years. The magazine included a range factors including the percentage of clear and sunny days, health of beach eco-systems, commute times, walkability, crime rates, standard of living, and the financial well-being of the townŌĆÖs residents. Also factored in was the Gallup-Healthways Well-being Index, which uses surveys to measure aspects of well-being such as purpose, social, financial, community, and physical. In addition, the magazine editor assessed each townŌĆÖs ŌĆ£coastal vibe,ŌĆØ which was included in the final tally.
CHARIHO - Times they are a ŌĆśchanging. Nowhere is that more evident than seeing the New Age enter a small town.
The New Age Movement, which started in the late 1900s, challenged what we, as Americans, had been taught to believe about ourselves, others and the world around us. Combining such practices as alternative medicine, holistic health, psychology, metaphysical traditions and eastern beliefs, people were suddenly open to the opportunities that arose when it was accepted that nothing in life is singular, but connected to everything else.

Cyanogen's Steve Kondik chimes in on OnePlus, Micromax row
Although India seems to be quickly becoming the new darling of the mobile industry after China, it isn't without its own share of controversy. So far the latest and biggest involves Indian OEM Micromax and Chinese startup OnePlus and it all revolves around the software provided by Cyanogen, Inc. While our limited outsider perspective would have us assign roles of villain and victim in this drama, things are, as always, not as clear cut. CyanogenMod founder Steve Kondik gives a few insights into some of the things that have happened behind the scenes.

These are busy times for job hunters. No matter how you cut it, unemployment numbers are going in the wrong direction.
Brunswick County 10.8 - Up six-tenths from April
Pender County 11.2 - Up three-tenths
New Hanover County 9.4 - Up six-tenths.
The metro average for the three counties - ten percent; that is up half a point. That's below the state average, but not Columbus County which was unchanged at 13 percent. Bladen County was up half a point to 12.3.
State employment security offices have been busy. Extended unemployment benefits have taken some of the worst pressure off job hunters in a tight market and there are signs of a recovery on the horizon.
That said, the numbers may get worse as several announced closings, like the Coty facility in Rocky Point unfold.
Walker Biggs said his agency is working with community colleges to focus on re-training. Some of the jobs that have gone away simply won't be coming back. Those workers need to be ready to step into new fields like health care and high tech.

Dear Irene and Pascal
Thank you very much for arranging the holiday in both the riad with Zakia and the transport arrangements with Mohammed, both worked very well.
This time we visited with friends rather than family and they all loved the holiday, particularly staying in the Riad Irene. They loved its location 5 minutes and you are on a main route with transport connections and a 20 minute walk through the medina to the main square passing through areas not visited by tourists. They all vowed that they would return.

BP Replacement Profit Slips in First Quarter
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- BP (BP - Get Report) reported profit of $7.1 billion in the first quarter, a rise of more than $1 billion from the year-ago period, but its replacement cost profit slipped from $5.6 billion to $5.5 billion year over year. High oil prices and the spread between WTI crude and Brent crude also helped refining profit to more than double quarter over quarter to more than $2 billion, and was almost three times the level of year-ago refining profit of $729 million.
BP has been aggressively selling off assets to meet its target of $30 billion in asset sales to cover Gulf of Mexico oil spill liabilities. BP has also benefited, like all oil companies, from rising oil prices. Both of these factors are evident in the $7.1 billion profit. However, the decline in replacement cost profit year over year indicates that the lower production after selling off assets and oil spill charges continue to weigh on BP. The effective tax rate for replacement cost profit increased to 37% in the first quarter, from 34% a year ago.
BP shares were rising by 1.5% in early trading on Wednesday.
As BP sheds assets, replacing lost production has been highlighted as a key issue for the company. All major oil companies have as a No. 1 priority replacing production over the long term. In the case of BP, the key issue has been linked lately to the headlines from Russia and BP's inability to seal a deal with Rosneft for Arctic exploration.
BP took an additional $400 million charge in the first quarter related to the BP oil spill, on top of the $41 billion BP has already written off related to spill liabilities, a minor increase in the oil spill write-off level compared to the previous two quarters. BP's revenue of $88.3 billion was ahead of the Wall Street consensus of $71 billion, buoyed by the asset sales. BP's earnings of $1.75 per ADS in the first quarter were short of the Wall Street consensus of $1.89. BP kept its dividend rate at the same 42 cent per ADS level at which it reinstated the dividend last quarter. BP production was at 3.58 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, an 11% decline, which after accounting for the divestitures, was reduced to 7%. In exploration and production specifically, BP replacement cost profit before interest and tax for the first quarter was $8.4 billion, compared with $8.3 billion for the same period in 2010. Lower production volumes (including from the impact of divestments), higher costs (including rig standby costs in the Gulf of Mexico), higher exploration write-offs and a lower contribution from gas marketing and trading were factors cited by BP in the first quarter results. BP said the production fall of 11% versus the first quarter 2010 was weighted toward its highest margin areas and primarily reflects the impacts to the Gulf of Mexico production as a result of the drilling moratorium, as well as higher turnaround and maintenance activity in the North Sea and in Angola, and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System interruption, partly offset by first production from Iraq. BP said in its earnings, "Looking ahead, we expect second-quarter production to reflect the continued impact on operations in the Gulf of Mexico following the drilling moratorium, the impact of acquisitions and divestments, and the seasonal ramp-up in turnaround activity, which is expected to be higher than in 2010." In refining, BP sounded a note of caution after the huge first quarter profit surge, saying in its earnings release, "looking ahead, we expect the supply and trading contribution in the second quarter to be lower than the very strong firstquarter performance. In the fuels value chains, WTI differentials may narrow somewhat compared with recent levels, reducing the benefit to our US Midwest refineries. We expect the usual seasonal improvement in refining margins in the second quarter but anticipate some softening in petrochemicals margins." -- Written by Eric Rosenbaum from New York.>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Eric Rosenbaum. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to Eric Rosenbaum.

Hello all I'm sure this has been asked on here before but haven't come across much. I am wanting to upgrade my door speakers and tweeters. Ideally I wouldn't mind upgrading for better oem speakers for a direct fitment.
Also does anyone know what the rms is for the standard speakers. I'm asking because if I can buy some speakers with the same power I shouldn't need to run a crossover and use amps. I had a sound system in my old fiesta but I knew the wiring on that but because now days these cars are getting more complex I want to try and keep everything safe and easy without having to cut and chop anything or strain the car.
Would be cool if anyone could poi t me to some information about oem upgrade/ aftermarket speakers but only similar to oem ratings.
Many thanks Ryan
