So I need to find the structural orientation of CO32- The answer is that its trigonal planar, forming a double bond with one of the oxygen atoms. However, why is this so? Why does one of the oxygen atoms form a double bond instead of a single bond as the other atoms do? See attachment for diagram of answer.
1) Resonance effect. 2) Octet Rule. Be sure you understand there are 3 separate resonance structures, each with a pi bond connecting an oxygen to the carbon. Each time you flip the pi bond onto the next oxygen, you are left with -2 charge on the 2 remaining oxygen atoms. Draw the lone electron pairs into the 2nd diagram if you are having trouble.
I don't know what a resonance structure is and I don't know what a pi bond is. I just started this course. I guess the octet rule makes sense because the double bond would allow the extra two electrons (via the single double bond) to fill a valence shell of carbon, thereby stabilizing it.
Pi bonds are double bonds, sigma are single bonds and look up tau bonds if you enjoy chemistry. Resonance structures allow us to have multiple structures of a "single" molecule being expressed simultaneously. Some are better than others and we try to examine the best ones. These are the significant contributors. They are dictated by various electronic effects, charge distribution and over all stability. There is more on this topic and it is incredibly important. Please do some reading into resonance structures! Draw the Lewis Dot structure for diagram 2 with the lone electron pairs. Always draw lone electron pairs and charges. Label your oxygen atoms 1,2, and 3. The oxygen atoms with sigma bonds are going to have a negative charge of -1. Draw this structure 2 more times, rotating the the pi (double) bond around to each one of the oxygen atoms in three separate structures with a sigma on the other 2 oxygens. http://cosm.georgiasouthern.edu/chemistry/general/molecule/resonan.htm
I'm on my phone right now so I can't do additional research at the moment - but I'll have to do so later on. Sigma bonds = single bonds ... Easy enough Pi bonds = double bonds... Ok Tau bonds = ... Banana bonds? (lol. Skimmed over wiki, wil do better research later.) So as far as resonance structures.. They're basically isomers? You'll have to forgive me if I'm being a bit thick, I haven't really touched chemistry in about five years. What charge will the pi bonded oxygen have, if the sigma bonded oxygns are given a charge of -1? Also, how are these charges related to bonding in a specific sense? (dumb question, I know)
Carbonate Resonance Structures Not isomers! The pi bond rotates at a speed great between the carbon and oxygen atoms. These three structures are considered to be in a simultaneous existence and a single molecule. Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] – [electrons in lone pairs + 1/2 the number of bonding electrons]
Wait. Does this have anything to do with schrodinger's idea of superpositions of states? [it probably doesn't, but you said all three states would be considered to exist silmiltaneously for the molecule, so I have to ask. Or are they simply considered to exist in all three states at once because the pi bond switches at such high speeds? If so, is there experimental evidence to corroborate? ]
If the cat was passing between life and death to the point you could not tell what state it is in, the yes. You have the right concept but I think it taking a snap shot of carbonate in only one of those resonance structures would be close to impossible. Experimental Evidence- We have resonance to help us create and utilize reaction mechanisms. The way we justify these structures is by various means of measurement. Inferred spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance, x-ray crystallography, thin layer gas chromatography and others I may not know. I haven't had the privilege to play these machines but have a general idea of the results they produce. Carbonate's analysis would demonstrate all 3 bonds are of equal length. We know pi bonds are stronger than sigma bonds and therefore shorter. The reason we drawn them in their resonance states is to help us create reasonable reaction mechanisms. When a larger molecule starts branching, multiple reactions sites become available. Being able to identify these points is important in writing the mechanism.
Okay, I'm interested in what you said about multiple reaction sites. If this molecule were to undergo a reaction, what would determine which resonance structure is used for said reaction? Is it simple probability? You said something about some states being better than others - does this mean that one is more likely to observe this state? If the pi bond is stronger and shorter than the two sigmas, yet all three bonds are observed to be the same length, how can we verify vespr theory's assertion that this bond even exists? Or is all of this a type of quantum mechanical effect?
Resonance structures are our way of representing a dynamic system using static diagrams. The resonance structures are not isomers of separate structures at all, they all represent the molecule albeit not in the same amount. Analogous to why the atomic weights of elements are not integer multiples of the number of protons/neutrons. It is because they reflect the weighted average of all of the naturally occurring isotopes. The point therefore of using the three resonance structures is to show that in fact carbonate does not have two single bonded oxygens and one double bonded oxygen but instead has approximately three 1.5-bonded oxygens. To address the issue of which sites in a larger molecule are reactive. You won't notice it on something like carbonate because all of the oxygens are the same, but in a large molecule the reactive functional groups all have unique properties dictated by themselves (you may have a halogen in one place and an alcohol in another) and their environment. This makes for situations where certain resonance structures contribute more to the overall structure of the molecule. This behavior of course leads the molecules reacting in certain ways over others. As you learn more Chemistry you will learn a lot of the models and theories which allow you to judge which structures are better then others and hence contribute more to what the molecule really is like.
If this molecule were to undergo a reaction, what would determine which resonance structure is used for said reaction? Good question. We can take any of the three initial resonance structures to react with, as they are all the same. By picking up the molecule and flip flopping or spinning them, we can achieve any of the 3 resonance structures. This is because carbonate is Trigonal planar and rather symmetrical. If we had some models in your hand, this would be easier to explain. Is it simple probability? In an overall sense, yes. Right now, the ability for an atom to stabilize a charge for the reaction is most significant. Electronegativity contributes greatly in this aspect. You said something about some states being better than others - does this mean that one is more likely to observe this state? One would observe the Lewis Structure (man made) using electron pushing arrows to demonstrate the flow of electrons for the reaction mechanism. Important considerations are the solution the reaction is taking place in, concentrations, temperatures and possible side reactions. One may use different chemicals to increase or decrease the probability of reaction with a specific desired resonance structure. If the pi bond is stronger and shorter than the two sigmas, yet all three bonds are observed to be the same length, how can we verify vespr theory's assertion that this bond even exists? Pi bonds are shorter and stronger than sigmas. This is what all 3 structures would look like together. Think of the oxygen atoms having a -2/3 charge and the bonds being equal lengths. I'm not entirely sure of your approach to the vespr question. Experiments are usually confirmed by laboratory analysis through the machines mentioned earlier. Or is all of this a type of quantum mechanical effect? We can choose to view and discuss reactions with various levels of depth and quantum chemistry is certainly one of them.
Thanks for the responses. I've only just started this course but I hope it explores these concepts in depth... They are really interesting and have huge implications on my simplified chemistry knowledge.

Liberals are right to be disappointed, because this nation needs major changes. Look at history.
When life became intolerable under British rule, the colonists followed those Massachusetts liberals to independence.
When the libertarian Articles of Confederation failed miserably after only six years in existence, the nation turned to Northern Virginia progressives for a Constitution, then a Bill of Rights.
When far-right slave states tried to destroy the nation in hopes of keeping slavery for eternity, the nation relied on a Midwestern liberal Republican to preserve the union, end slavery and begin a movement for protection of rights.
When right-wing economic theories put into practice during the 1920s led to the Great Depression, the nation relied on an aristocratic New York liberal to save capitalism, preserve democracy and prevent a Marxist revolution.
After a century of promising equal rights for all Americans, the nation got serious in the 1960s under a rabble-rousing Southern preacher and a semi-corrupt Texas Democrat to enact civil-rights legislation.
Whenever the nation needed improvements or saving, it always went to the left. It needs to do so again.
What has the right given the nation.
When those Mass. liberals were leading the way to independence, the nation had about 500,000 far righties and 10% of them abandoned the colonies to side with great Britain with many, led by Gen. Benedict Arnold, taking up arms to fight against independence.
When it came time for the Constitution, righties who hadn't abandoned the newly independent nation tried to have two or three separate nations tying to preserve slavery.
As for the Bill of Rights, it was the right that opposed one in the new Constitution even though Virginia had a successful one in its Constitution.
Numerous tax cuts for the aristocracy and letting corporations run wild throughout the the '20s ended in the Great Depression. That's the recipe from the political and economic right for an economic paradise and was tried again in the '80s by Ronald Reagan and a third time by Buffoon Bush with similar results to the '20s, except New Deal protections the right is now trashing prevented another Great Depression.
Forty Americans had to be murdered by severe right-winger extremists in the '60s to get the equality the Constitution had promised to all Americans for a full century, but failed to deliver.
Liberals have every right to be disappointed with Barack Obama because he prefers to nibble around the edges of a corrupt system rather than lead the way to an improved America that bygone liberals managed to accomplish.

I mean with all the negative going on here the one plus I noticed as a player at the venue is that a lot of people just walking by were asking what it was and what the game was about etc, felt nice trying to explain what it was and what it was about. I for one would love to see more venues like this for future stuff.

Anyone noticing there's this one guy just downvoting every reply to this thread?
Redbeard, don`t you think the cheating is unfair for the teams that lost to the cheating asians? Not just TSM, also CLG.eu, Najin Sword, iG, everyone who lost to people who cheat, were screwed out of a chance at the 1 million dollar prize pool. Not because they were bested, but because of YOUR failure to prevent cheating. Doesn't that weigh on your conscience? Even a little bit? How do you sleep at night?
Dr Kasper
I love the bull**** you guys have been continually coming up with over major things that only a kid with downs would over look
I like how hard you guys are trying to remedy all of these situations. With so much money on the line i find it a tad odd that no one thought this kind of stuff could occur. Whoever did your stage planning should definitely be looked at, as i would hope it wasn't simply thrown together to where things could shift out of gear so quickly

More to Rafa than meets the eye
Just like many other sporting memoirs, Rafael Nadal's newly released autobiography contains a mix of the new and the familiar. Although not exactly exhaustive, the book offers his thoughts on some of his biggest matches, reinforces his focus on family and friends, and recounts some memorable anecdotes. Here are 20 things we learned:
What we knew: He has a younger sister, Maribel.
What we learned: The two are very close. Nadal calls or texts 10 times a day.
What we knew: He likes chocolate cookies.
What we learned: He doesn't like cheese, tomatoes or ham. "Cheese? It's a bit peculiar," says his mother, Ana Maria.
What we knew: He'll always give you an autograph.
What we learned: Even if you don't say please. But it means you won't get a smile.
What we knew: He can strike fear into his opponents.
What we learned: He is afraid of thunderstorms, deep water and dogs, is nervous about riding a bike, and prefers to sleep with the light on. "A bit of a scaredy cat," according to his sister.
What we knew: After winning Wimbledon in 2008, he bought himself an Aston Martin.
What we learned: Nadal wanted to get the car after seeing it during the French Open, but his father, Sebastian, was against it. "You win Wimbledon, then you can buy it," he said. "He never thought he'd lose that bet," Nadal writes.
What we knew: Nadal's game plan against Roger Federer is to hit the ball to his backhand.
What we learned: Nadal's game plan against Federer is to hit every ball to his backhand. "That's the plan. It's not a complicated plan," he writes.
What we knew: There are exceptions to every rule, like 8-7 in the fifth set of the 2008 Wimbledon final, when Nadal served a winner to Federer's forehand to set up match point.
What we learned: It was inspiration. Writes Nadal: "Here I had the brilliant idea -- it was, in retrospect, quite brilliant -- of hitting my first serve wide to his forehand, when he had to be expecting that at a clutch moment like this I'd stick to the backhand route I'd followed practically the entire match."
What we knew: At the moment, Nadal doesn't seem to have a game plan against Novak Djokovic.
What we learned: He doesn't have one. "With Federer, the rule is always to keep patiently plugging away, knowing you'll force him sooner or later to mistakes. With Djokovic, there is no clear tactical plan. It is simply a question of playing at your very best, with maximum intensity and aggression," Nadal writes. "But there is one thing. If you make him receive the ball at shoulder height, you make him uncomfortable, you make him guess, put him off his stride."
What we knew: After defeating Djokovic in the U.S. Open final last year, Nadal implied his box had told him where to serve on match point, telling El Pais, "They told me to serve wide and that's where I served."
What we learned: Nadal repeats this suggestion, writing that he looked at his box for support and "served wide to the forehand as instructed," but doesn't elaborate.
What we knew: His prematch routines and jumping around come across as stalling and gamesmanship.
What we learned: Even his friends wonder what it is all about. "I don't think he would ever admit it, and I've never asked him about it, but I do believe he does deliberately intimidate rivals," says fellow Mallorcan and mentor Carlos Moya.
What we knew: Nadal surprised everyone by recovering from a five-hour marathon semifinal at the 2009 Australian Open to beat Federer in five sets in the final.
What we learned: He surprised himself, having been ready to lose 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. Despite feeling tired and dizzy while practicing on the day of the final, he gained energy from the adrenaline of the occasion and a pep talk from his coach before the match.
What we knew: His parents split up in early 2009. (They are now reportedly back together.)
What we learned: Nadal found out on the journey back after winning the Australian Open and lost all enthusiasm. On pulling out of Wimbledon that year, he writes, "My knees were the immediate reason, but I knew the root cause was my state of mind."
What we knew: His coach and uncle, Toni, stresses the importance of humility and always tells Nadal he can do better.
What we learned: Nadal believes his uncle's strictness "has its value, in that he pushes me always to improve and do better, it can also be bad because he creates insecurity."

What we knew: Nadal is one of the strongest players mentally.
What we learned: He attributes a lot of this to Toni. "All that tension in every single coaching session, right from the start, has allowed me today to face up to the difficult moments in a match with more self-control than might otherwise have been the case. Toni did a lot to build that fighting character people say they see in me on court," Nadal writes.
What we knew: Nadal was very worried when he felt his left foot hurting during Wimbledon, thinking it was the return of the first serious injury he had as a pro.
What we learned: The problem is a congenital condition -- the tarsal scaphoid bone in his foot never hardened, becoming larger and susceptible to cracking under intense physical activity. It "turned out to be my own unique version of the Achilles' heel," Nadal writes. He received the diagnosis as a 19-year-old. Told that his career might be over, he sobbed. His father tried to comfort him, saying that a solution might be found and, if all else failed, Nadal could perhaps turn to professional golf.
What we knew: When he was young, his family turned down an offer to train at an elite Barcelona academy.
What we learned: They sent him to a sports boarding school an hour from home so he could finish his studies. He hated it.
What we knew: Nadal's father owns a glass-making business.
What we learned: Nadal's grandfather, a musician, helped produce the first performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Mallorca at 19 years old.
What we knew: His girlfriend, Maria Francisca Perello, is a fellow Mallorcan and works full time, only occasionally showing up at tournaments.
What we learned: "He needs his space when he is competing, and just the idea of me hanging around waiting on his needs all day wears me out," she says. "If I followed him everywhere, I think there's a risk we might stop getting along."
What we knew: He likes watching soccer.
What we learned: If it's a match involving Real Madrid, he'll get up at 5 in the morning to do it, even if he has a match that day.
What we knew: He plays golf.
What we learned: Even more determinedly than tennis. "I am decidedly unfriendly during a golf game, from the first hole to the last," he says.

OutKast Reunite To Headline Coachella Festival
Hip-hop duo OutKast will reunite for the first time since their last album eight years ago to headline the Coachella Festival.
The event plays over two weekends in April in the Southern California desert town of Indio, with Arcade Fire and Muse headlining the other dates.
Organisers announced the line-up on Twitter, referring to the hit OutKast song Hey Ya! with the post: "Share it like a Polaroid picture!"
The annual music event has become one of the largest US music festivals, attracting more than 80,000 people, including many Hollywood celebrities.
Grammy-winning OutKast, which consists of Atlanta rappers Andre 3000 (Andre Benjamin) and Big Boi (Antwan Patton), released their last album Idlewild in 2006.
The line-up for the Coachella Festival also includes Pharrell Williams, Beck, Ellie Goulding, Haim, Lorde and Motorhead.
The event takes place on the weekends of April 11-13 and 18-20.

Baylor Bears (13-3)
@Texas A&M Aggies (15-2)
Wednesday, January 14
Reed Arena
Attendance: None
Texas A&M
College Station, TX (Sports Network) - Chinemelu Elonu finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds, leading Texas A&M to an 84-73 win over 21st-ranked Baylor.
Bryan Davis also scored 17 points for the Aggies (15-2, 1-1 Big 12), who have won 11 of their last 12 games. Josh Carter and Donald Sloan chipped in 15 points apiece, while Derrick Roland scored 10.
Tweety Carter had 16 points to pace the Bears (13-3, 1-1), who have dropped two of three. LaceDarius Dunn totaled 14 points and six rebounds, while Kevin Rogers, Curtis Jerrells and Henry Dugat all contributed 12 points in defeat.
Texas A&M held an early lead, and a pair of Elonu dunks sandwiched around a layup by Dunn put the Aggies up six at 13-7 near the eight-minute mark. Dash Harris' lone field goal of the contest pushed Texas A&M's advantage to 28-19 with about 4 1/2 minutes to play, and the home team carried a 39-28 lead to halftime.
Rogers' fastbreak layup whittled Baylor's deficit to single digits at 59-50 midway through the second half, but Sloan and Josh Carter hit back-to-back shots to make 69-56 with just under seven minutes remaining and Texas A&M fended off the Bears down the stretch.

The Players Have Been Fantastic - Pressley
City Boss On His Players
Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has described his players as fantastic.
Those that Pressley wants in the squad are in Holland ahead of City's pre-season game with German side TSV Wachtendonk-Wankum tonight, and speaking about his players, the City boss told Nick Connoll: "We're still probably, as pre-season indicates, three weeks away in terms of where I want us to be by the start of the season but the players have been fantastic and we'll ensure that we are at our peak by the time we play that first game of the season."

MTV Looks For Another Hit: What About An Uplifting Reality Show?
by Wayne Friedman on Dec 24, 2:45 PM
MTV is looking for a kinder side of the TV world. Those biting reality shows? Maybe all that's history -- MTV wants to start another trend, taking off from "Real World," which ushered in the current genre of reality TV in the early 1990s.

Resetting The TV Ad Market: Is This What A Troubled Economy Will Bring?
by Wayne Friedman on Dec 23, 11:15 AM
Reset prices for the upfront? That's supposedly what Procter & Gamble and other marketers want to do. But the odds are not in their favor -- any more than my IRA mutual funds will be reset to the levels back to what they were in March.

Tough Economic Times Yield Strange TV Advertising Decisions -- And Lawsuits
by Wayne Friedman on Dec 22, 10:00 AM
Growing TV stations and networks will do the unusual to lift advertising sales. WADL, in the Detroit DMA, allegedly wrote a check for $1.5 million last April to Petry Media's Blair Television sales rep division, with a promise that WADL would get more than that from big national spot sales revenues. Since October 2007, when the agreement was signed, WADL says only $253,000 has been booked by Blair -- well below its supposed guarantee. WADL admits it is atypical for a TV station to write a check to a rep firm -- let alone to pay an upfront fee of ...

CBS Does Well -- In A Marketplace That Isn't
by Wayne Friedman on Dec 19, 11:00 AM
In the face of an almost certain bad TV economy continuing well into 2009, the CBS network has had one strong season -- relatively speaking, considering the writers' strike of a year ago and the network' series of misfires from a year ago like "Viva Laughlin" -- and considering where traditional live TV viewing has been headed overall.

Big TV News: 'Idol' Goes On Hiatus -- But Not In This Country.
by Wayne Friedman on Dec 18, 3:45 PM
The TV economy must really be in a bad way. I hear they just put "Idol" on hiatus. Make that "Canadian Idol." The north-of-the-border version of the big U.S. hit is taking a break -- "resting," according to its Canadian TV network and rights holder, CTV -- because of a poor TV advertising econom.

TV Marketing Looks To Hot-Foot Program Success
by Wayne Friedman on Dec 16, 10:15 AM
It's not about slow-moving show business -- it's about the actual footwear. A quickly produced MSNBC cable network promo yielded this: "What will Bush's legacy be in Iraq? Has the other shoe dropped?" Is this making light of that very serious war on the other side of the world -- or just an honest TV marketing attempt to bring in viewers? The answer has yet to be determined.

Is The Poor Economy Tackling Football Before It Gets To The Goal Line?
by Wayne Friedman on Dec 11, 12:46 PM
What's going on with football this season? NFL says it is cutting back staff, media executives report inventory is available for many big national NFL games, and, yes, the Arena Football League -- the developmental league of the NFL -- has reportedly cancelled its 2009 season.

The New Year has ushered in a new crop of ETF leaders. Here's an overview of five nonleveraged ETFs making the most headway in the past month and what may be driving prices.
These all sport stellar IBD Accumulation-Distribution Ratings, which is on an A to E scale with A being highest and E being lowest. That means institutional investors are heavily buying shares and very few are selling, boosting the odds of further price appreciation.
All of them are trading above their 50- and 200-day moving averages, indicating strong uptrends.
Thinkstock View Enlarged Image
1. Guggenheim Solar (ARCA:TAN)
One-month change: +37.4% vs. 2.8% for the SPDR S&P 500 (ARCA:SPY).
2012 change: -30.74% vs. +15.99% for SPY.
Relative Strength Rating: 48.
Accumulation-Distribution Rating: A+.
Solar ETFs may evolve into the biggest turnaround story of 2013 after they slumped an average of 42% the past three years owing to a perfect storm of government subsidy cuts globally and Chinese oversupply.
Standard & Poor's analysts believe low prices will spark demand for solar systems over the next few years. In an equity report S&P wrote: "We continue to maintain a positive outlook on the solar industry for the longer term, as lower solar system prices should increase demand and make the industry more competitive with traditional sources of energy.
"In addition, the catastrophic events in Japan in March 2011 — the earthquake and tsunami, followed by the accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant — will likely have a notable long-term positive impact on the solar industry. This can already be seen in recent actions taken in countries such as Germany and China that previously had been big supporters of nuclear power.
"Germany announced in May 2011 that it plans to close all of its nuclear power plants by 2022, while China raised its long-term solar system installation targets. Although global incentives are declining, this can be seen as a positive, as the removal of subsidies illustrates the health of the industry.
"We anticipate that other nations will eventually follow this trend and ramp up investments in safer energy sources such as solar and wind."
IBD covered solar ETFs in its Monday edition.
2. Market Vectors Solar Energy ETF (ARCA:KWT)
One-month change: +30.1%.

3. Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (ARCA:VNM).
One-month change: +21.8% vs. +4.7% for iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (ARCA:EEM).

Only investors with strong stomachs should venture to this very volatile Southeast Asian nation. This 32-stock portfolio is 70% weighted in Vietnamese companies and 30% in ones that do substantial business in the country. Even after such a strong run-up, VNM trades at lower valuations than Asian and emerging markets.
It carries a price-earnings ratio of 10.6 vs. 12.3 for emerging markets, according to Morningstar. It has a 1.19% price-to-book, 1.63% price-to-cash flow and 0.75 price-to-sales ratios. By contrast emerging markets are trading with P/B of 1.58 and P/CF of 5.82 and P/S of 0.99.

4. Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (ARCA:GREK)
One-month change: +17.3% vs. +3.2% for iShares MSCI EAFE (ARCA:EFA), tracking foreign developed markets.
2012 change: +29.07% vs. +17.3% for EFA.
Relative Strength Rating: 90.
Accumulation-Distribution Rating: B.
The Greek tragedy could turn into a fairy tale for investors. GREK is also a value play. It trades at a P-E ratio of about 9 vs. 11.7 for European stocks. It sports a 0.77 P/B; 0.34 P/S and 2.81 P/CF. European stocks have a 1.35 P/B, 0.81 P/S and 4 P/CF.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lifted its sovereign credit ratings on the country to "B" with a stable outlook from "selective default" in December. The B rating means the issuer is vulnerable if something goes bad but has the means to pay its debts.
S&P said its improved outlook was based on the eurozone's determination to keep Greece in the European Union and the government's commitment to carrying out austerity programs.
"We could raise our long-term rating on Greece if the government follows through fully on its steps to comply with the EU/IMF program, thereby restoring predictability to its policymaking as well as contributing to a sustained economic recovery and improved prospects of sustainable debt-servicing," S&P wrote. "We could lower the ratings if we believe that there is a likelihood of a distressed exchange on Greece's remaining stock of commercial debt."
5. Market Vectors China ETF (ARCA:PEK)
One-month change: +17.3%.
2012 change: +15.36%.
Relative Strength Rating: 77.
Between March and November of last year, PEK corrected 25% peak to trough. China's stock market was one of the worst-performing last year until it staged a turnaround at year's end. PEK jumped 19% in December. Its shorter-term 50-day moving average crossed above the longer-term 200-day moving average last week, also known as a golden cross, indicating a strong uptrend.
The rally was sparked by incoming President Xi Jinping calling for a continuation of pro-growth policies and indicated he favored government support for more urbanization. China's leaders said in a statement they aim to increase imports and speed up urbanization to boost domestic consumption.
China's oil demand rose to a record 9.7 million barrels a day in November, according to Yardeni Research. Its PMI, purchasing manufacturers index, registered above 50 for a third-straight month in December, indicating manufacturing growth.
Investing in China is the No. 1 investing idea of 2013 for Dr. Thanh Bui, a portfolio manager at Camarda Wealth Advisory Group in Fleming Island, Fla., with $250 million in assets under management.
"Over the past two years, the Chinese equity market was negatively influenced by weak external demand for exports, slowing infrastructure spending and concerns about the negative potential impact of its emerging real estate bubble," Bui wrote in an email. "As a result, equities' valuations are currently near all-time lows, with a collective 2012 P/E (price-to-earnings ratio) of 10.4, making the market an attractive bargain.
"However, China's recent economic data suggest that a 'hard landing' scenario is relatively unlikely. Its 2012 GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate is expected to be near its bottom at 7.5% and increase to 8% in 2013 as the government prepares to launch policies to boost economic recovery, spurring growth in domestic consumption, (driven by) gradual appreciation of the Renminbi and rising wages."
The major risk is that slowing global growth will negatively affect China's exports, which accounted for 26% of 2011 GDP, Bui added.
China stock mutual funds took in more than $8 billion since the beginning of October, according to EPFR Global.

Skye smiled, at least the situation seemed to bring about a growth in her maturity level. "Well, good for you Sanya. Seriously." She stood and touched her gently on the shoulder, and spoke sincerely "You're like the sister I always had but never wanted." It was a joke obviously by the shining in her eyes and bright smile. "You're pretty much the reason we're staying for a little while longer. Bear and I could have left a long time ago, lived out our last days the way we knew, when we were happy. But kiddo, you kept us here."
She spoke as she went to the window and stuck her head out. Bear was normally on the porch when he wasn't with her, but she didn't see him at all. He didn't look too happy when he left Sanya's room, but she highly doubted it was because Sanya didn't want him to see her trying to figure out how to eat.
Bear was gone, wandering the forest in a daze. He had taken off his shirt, letting the cold air bite his discolored skin. Even the weather was beginning to bother him. Clear river stains ran from his eyes to his chin, though the tears had dried by now. Instead just his eyes were watery, and he could barely see passed them. His steps were clumsy, no longer sure footed the way he used to be.
In the back of his mind, the nightmare was screaming. It had never wanted this to happen, but it was too late. It's too late. He thought bitterly, and another wave of overwhelming emotion took over. He fell to his knees, his head feeling like it was splitting in two from all the pressure. He gripped it, groaning.

Bullish Bates vows to fight
08 Jul 2007 - 15:50:39
Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has vowed to take legal action should the cash-strapped League One club be sold to a rival bidder.
The Elland Road club were put up for sale on Friday after Bates' original bid to buy the club back was challenged by the Inland Revenue.
Administrators KMPG have set a Monday deadline for potential new bidders to come forward with rumours suggesting some of Bates' rival consortia are planning to join together to launch a fresh takeover approach.
But Bates still believes his offer is the only viable one and has warned he will not give up without a fight.
"Our bid is the original deal that was done in the meeting of creditors when we placed the Company Voluntary Agreement on June 1," he told Yorkshire Radio.
"We have amended it twice to try and meet the Inland Revenue's objections and now we've withdrawn the conditionality of it, so it's now unconditional.
"We believe in fact our offer is valid. Therefore it should be the only one to be accepted.
"So there's a problem and a possibility that if the administrator goes down another route then there could be further legal battles.
"After all, we haven't come all this way over the last two-and-half years, borrowed and spent all that money, got the club turned round, got rid of all the bad organisation that the previous regimes left in place to go out without a fight."

Explore Thanksgiving and harvest traditions then create painted paper mosaic cornucopias.
Students work in small groups to find out what types of food are grown and harvested locally. How are they raised? Picked? Transported to market? Find out about the origins of Thanksgiving or other fall harvest festivals celebrated in the community. What myths surround the holiday? Students prepare reports to share information orally with classmates.
On construction paper, use Crayola® Markers to make a simple line drawing of a cornucopia (horn of plenty, usually a woven basket). Inside and around the cornucopia, draw foods that are grown locally.
Cover a table top with recycled newspaper. To prepare to make the paper mosaic, students use Crayola Tempera Paints to paint several sheets of paper in the colors of the fruits and vegetables they drew. Be creative and mix colors! Think about the dappled yellows and reds of apples, the variations in green leafy vegetables, the mottled colors of weaving materials such as straw. Dry.
Cut the painted papers into small, uniformly-sized squares with Crayola Scissors.
Arrange the squares to make a paper mosaic of the cornucopia, fruits, and vegetables. Attach the pieces with a Crayola Glue Stick.

Outside DC, largest federal employment share in Alaska
March 01, 1999
In 1997, the federal government employed 2.8 million people, accounting for about 2.3 percent of jobs in the United States. Twenty States had federal employment shares above the national average. Outside of the District of Columbia, where nearly one of every three employees works for the federal government, the State with the largest share of federal employment was Alaska at 6.6 percent.
[Chart data—TXT]
Following Alaska, Hawaii (5.7 percent), Maryland (5.6), Virginia (4.9), New Mexico (4.4), and Montana (3.6) reported the highest federal employment shares. The State with the lowest Federal employment share was Wisconsin at 1.1 percent, followed by Michigan (1.3), and Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, and Minnesota (each 1.4).
These employment data are produced by the BLS Covered Employment and Wages (ES-202) program, a virtual census of establishments, employment, and wages of employees on nonfarm payrolls. Additional information may be obtained from the bulletin, "Employment and Wages Annual Averages, 1997."

The six policemen pointed their guns at Zehnder, a little unsure of what to do, as they were in the presence of this intimidating being.
"Hands where I can see 'em!" One of them shouted out.
Zehnder snarled at them.
"Esther, stay behind me." He said quietly to Esther, and stood in front of her.
"We can take them on, right?" Esther said back to him quietly, and took her hammer out of her bag, "They're not so tough!"
"No. Stay behind me." Zehnder took her hammer from her and tossed it to the side.
"Fine." Esther grumbled, but obeyed.
"I said hands up! . . . You!" The cop yelled.
Zehnder growled. He reached up and pulled his bandanna down, revealing his blank face. The skin around where his mouth should be ripped open, baring his crimson teeth. Black blood poured from the ripped skin and down his face.
"W-what the fuck is that thing!?" One of the cops shouted, frightened.
Zehnder roared at them, little droplets of blood spraying from his bleeding mouth. He took a step forward, and several large barbed tendrils emerged from his back and swayed in the air.
"Just shoot it! Kill it! Kill it!" Another one of them shouted. All of the policemen began shooting at Zehnder, who roared again and took another step forward. Many bullets hit him, causing little to no effect of stopping him, and others flew past him.
The skin, around where Zehnder's eyes should have been, ripped; not revealing his eyes, but causing more blood to cover his face.
"It's not going down! What do we do!?" One of them shouted.
"Just keep shooting!" Another responded. They continued to shoot.
Esther crouched behind Zehnder, against the wall. Luckily, no bullets had hit her, but many of them had come close. She didn't know what to do, only to try and wait it out. The police had not yet noticed her, as being distracted by Zehnder.
One of the bullets hit Zehnder in the abdomen, but went through him and hit the wall behind where Esther was. Zehnder had forgotten she was there in the excitement, but remembered and began walking backwards towards her.
He reached her, blocking the bullets with his body and large tendrils.
"Esther! Scream!" He shouted, barely audible under the sound of the guns firing.
"What?" Esther was confused and frightened.
"I said; scream!"
Zehnder's skin on his face ripped more, revealing his bright yellow eyes.
"I said SCREAM DAMMIT!!!"
Two of the bullets flew past Zehnder and hit Esther in the side. She shrieked and fell over, blood pouring from her.
"Hey! Someone else is there!!" One of the cops shouted.
"Hold your fire; you don't want to hit her!" Another commanded, thinking that she had screamed because of Zehnder.
Esther writhed in pain on the ground, a pool of blood forming around her. She gasped for air and looked up at Zehnder in agony.
"Z-Zehndy-! I-I-I got sho-!" She coughed, blood came from her mouth.
Zehnder turned towards the policemen, his piercing eyes made them freeze in terror. He roared savagely, more tendrils emerged from his back and swayed in the air maliciously. He stepped towards them, teeth bared ferociously. One of his tendrils shot forwards, its barbs large and sharp. It stuck one of them on the face, and lifted him into the air just by the fact that its barbs had impaled the side of his face.
He screamed as blood poured down his face and he dropped his gun.
The others stared, horrified, but then realized their colleague's plea for help and began shooting again.
Zehnder reached out with another tendril and wrapped it around the man's waist. The barbs dug into him further, causing him to scream in pain. Zehnder roared again, furious; his bright yellow eyes glowing with anger. He pulled both of the tendrils away from each other, ripping the man in half. Blood and gore rained down on the others.
They kept shooting at him, several of them screaming as if they were the ones who got ripped apart. Zehnder reached forward and grabbed two of them, causing them to drop their guns. Instead of ripping them apart, he threw them behind him into the alley, where they fell; frozen by the shock of being thrown.
Picking up another one by the arm, he slammed them onto the hood of one of the police cars; breaking several of their bones and setting off the car's alarm. The person was, surprisingly, still alive. But Zehnder left them to die slowly.
Zehnder turned towards the remaining two and hissed viciously.
"We can't kill it! RUN!" One of them shouted, the other quickly agreed and they both began to run for their lives. Zehnder quickly grabbed one of the cars by the side before they could get too far, and flipped it. The car fell on top of one of them, killing him. The other one swore loudly, but continued running. Zehnder walked into the shadows, and then appeared in front of the fleeing man.
Esther was on the ground, trying to remain conscious. She heard that man that had tried to escape scream, and then the odd but gruesome sound of flesh and bone being ripped from a body. She tried to get up, but fell again.
The two policemen that Zehnder had thrown into the alley got up slowly.
"Shit!" One of them cried, when they saw Esther. They both ran over to her to try and help her.
Esther didn't even notice them; she was looking at the entrance of the alley. She was waiting for Zehnder to come back.
"Zehn-" She broke into a fit of coughs and gasps, as more blood came from her mouth.
One of the policemen took out his phone and quickly began calling for an ambulance. Esther tried to get up, to go back to Zehnder. But one of the cops told her to not move, so she wouldn't lose more blood.
Esther kept her eyes on the street, waiting for Zehnder to appear, calling out his name weakly as she slipped away from consciousness.
"Zehnder . . ."

Crimson Cosmos grabs a hold of you for start to finish. It is one crazy, psychedelic metal trip. If I were to describe this band to someone who has never heard of them I would say they are reminiscent of a metal hybrid of Pink Floyd. You can see the comparison on the title track itself. But to call them a direct copy of Floyd would be doing them a disservice, because they are so much more.
The album's high point has got to be "Devil's Diner". It is a very upbeat, melodic tune that is nothing short of catchy. Most of the songs are easily accessible which is why it is enjoyable. Though the variety is what will keep you coming back for more. One need only stare at the cover of the album to know what kind of experience it will be. This is a very unique and interesting offering from a musically diverse band.

Thanks for posting this Yooper. I'm gonna try this as well... just picked up some gallon jugs and other stuff in Colorado Springs and will be starting some ancient meads when I get home in a couple days! Maybe ready for the summer soltice?
FWIW..I've made two batches of this now..one using the JAOM recipe and the other using MAOM (only uses orange zest, not any of the white pulp) I prefer MAOM...they both are good, but the MAOM doesn't have any of that white bittery pith taste that the white part of the orange can leave behind. Dan
Not my first mead, actually this is my third mead that I will have made. This recipe looks tasty easy and fun. I hope mine comes out as good as the recipe looks, thanks for posting.
I'm in as well... too simple and cheap and fun not to try...
I started a 2 gallon batch on Thursday. Outside of using only the zest and 'meat' (no white peel) I followed the recipe as stated. However, I am curious about the fermenting temp. Originally I put the mead fermentor in my normal brewing nook where I ferment my beers. Then after a day I realized that might be too cold (around 66-68). So I moved the fermentor upstairs to a closet where it is definitely warmer. Am I correct in assuming warmer temps (~75) is better for this mead?
Yoop, how long does this take to actually ferment out. Is the 2 months to condition it? Made a gallon batch in Mr Beer the other day and of course I had to taste some 3 days later. Tasted rather good but sweet, don't know if that's the honey still fermenting. Also thinking about using the same ingredients in a batch of apfelwein, what do you think?
Joe "Life is too short to drink cheap beer."
Could you use S0 4 with this or would it completely change the taste? I've neve rmade a mead before but this one is intriguing.
"Your HYDROMETER is the only BEST indicator of fermentation activity. Nothing else is accurate or consistent"...Revvy
So even a 5 gallon batch is left in the primary fermenter for the full two months?
