Senator Carl Levin, (D.-Mich.) the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said on the CBS program Face the Nation that the president's focus must be on building up the Afghan army: "The key here is an Afghan surge. Not an American surge," he said.
Levin said that President Obama must unveil a strategy that will eventually enable the Afghans to defend themselves. "If the mission is to give them the capacity to take on the Taliban — and I believe that will be the principle mission statement — that would be one important thing to happen for Democratic support."
Obama's announcement will be greeted more receptively by members of the opposition Republican Party than by congressional Democrats. A standard GOP reaction was voiced by Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a member of the Armed Services committee:
"This is not just any place on the planet. This is the place where the Taliban took control after the Russians left, aligned themselves with al Qaeda and attacked this nation and killed 3000 Americans."
VOA News reported that Graham said on ABC's This Week that the war must be a spending priority, and that cuts should be made in other programs to pay for it:
"Where does our national security rate in terms of spending?" asked Graham. "Are there things that we can do in the stimulus package? Can we trim up the health care bill and other big ticket items to pay for a war that we can't afford to lose?"
During an appearance on the Fox News Sunday program, Senator Evan Bayh (D.-Ind.) said he will be listening to hear what Obama plans to do to put pressure on the Afghans and the Pakistanis to meet their obligations. "It is a fine balance. We have to got to show we have the determination to see this through on the one hand, but keep the pressure on them to do their part. And, by talking about an exit strategy under the right circumstances, I think you do that."
But Republican Senator John Kyl of Arizona took exception to the very concept of announcing an exit strategy, telling Fox News Sunday that any mention of an exit strategy will send the wrong signal to opponents in the region:
"All of this talk about an exit strategy is really dangerous. It tells the Taliban just to lay low until we leave, and it does not encourage the Europeans, for example, or other NATO allies that this is a cause worth sending their troops to support."
VOA noted that President Obama has spent about three months reviewing all his options in Afghanistan, and has spent many hours in intense, closed-door discussions with his national security team. His December 1 announcement is expected to detail a plan to send an extra 30,000 to 35,000 troops to Afghanistan. However, presidential aides have also made it clear that the president will discuss the long term, and his plans will emphasize the need to ensure that the Afghans will ultimately take care of their own security needs so U.S. forces can come home.
As President Obama's position on the war in Afghanistan comes closer to his neocon Republican "opposition" (if one can call it that) one wonders if those who voted for Obama feel betrayed, and if those who voted for McCain feel somewhat relieved.
The only Americans who probably are neither surprised nor disappointed with Obama's actions are those who voted for third-party presidential candidates such as Constitution Party nominee Chuck Baldwin and Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr. Such independent-minded voters were able to see that either an Obama or a McCain administration would bring a continuation of the same CFR-controlled, interventionist foreign policy, with its never-ending succession of pointless, no-win wars, that has persisted since the days of Harry Truman.
The near unanimity of the Obama and McCain positions on the war in Afghanistan brings to mind a statement made back in 1968 by Alabama Governor George Wallace, who, as third party candidate on the American Independent Party ticket, opposed Republican Richard M. Nixon and Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey in the general election, maintaining that there was not a "dime's worth of difference" between the two major parties.

May 8, 10, 11 and 14 will mark the official start to the Sac-Joaquin Section postseason for prep swim, soccer, golf and softball programs. Oakdale High athletes that haven't already locked up a trip to events on those dates have been hungrily working toward that honor. Following is summary of recent Oakdale prep action.
When Valley Oak League track and field coaches not named Dave Bacigalupi have nightmares, they typically dream of Oakdale High uniforms.
Oakdale High's varsity boys baseball team landed two comfortable wins over Manteca on April 25 and 27 to sweep the Buffaloes and move one step closer to a conference title.
Fantastic depth and strong individual performances from Oakdale High's varsity girls track team carried the program to yet another standout collective performance as the Mustang's edged VOL stalwart, Sierra, on April 26. The win carried Oakdale to an eighth straight conference title and incredible 58th straight conference dual meet win.

From Beryl Evans at the Federation of Family History Societies (www.ffhs.org.uk):
The National Archives is making the digitised records the Middlesex Appeal Tribunal, which heard the cases of men seeking exemption from conscription into the army during the First World War, available online.
The records of the Middlesex Appeal Tribunal, in series MH 47 include case papers of over 8,000 individuals, as well as administrative papers reflecting the changing policy towards conscription as the war progressed. The records reveal men seeking exemption on medical, family or economic grounds, as well as the relatively small proportion wishing not to fight on moral grounds as conscientious objectors.
The Middlesex Appeal Tribunal was one of the county-level appeal tribunals, part of a national system of military service tribunals that were established across the UK to hear applications from men seeking exemption from military service. The collection is one of two sets of appeal tribunal records officially retained as a benchmark following the end of hostilities, and provides a unique insight into the impact of the First World War on families, businesses and communities far from the battlefields.
Local and county appeal tribunal records also survive in many local archives, within personal and local government collections, and with the Federation of Family History Societies, The National Archives has begun a survey of surviving material in local collections to supplement A2A and NRA data. Today's online launch has attracted a great deal of media interest, and although the focus is likely to be on the scarcity of surviving material, we anticipate that it may lead to an increased interest in locally held tribunal records.
The digitisation of this collection has been generously supported by The Friends of The National Archives and Federation of Family History Societies and forms part of The National Archives' programme of events to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.
Search the case papers through our First World War 100 web portal at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/first-world-war/ or search the series in Discovery, our catalogue: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/
Contact The National Archives with any enquiries relating to the project or the records at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/contact/
(With thanks to Beryl)
NB: In Scotland, military service tribunal papers also survive for Edinburgh, Lothians and Borders, and also Ross, Cromarty and Sutherland (see www.nas.gov.uk/about/081103.asp). Most other tribunal papers have unfortunately been destroyed.

: Traffic was partially restored on Monday on the border route in Kumily, the main town connecting Kerala and Tamil Nadu. While the bus services from Tamil Nadu till the border resumed in the morning, bus services from Kerala will be resumed by 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday, Kumily police said.
A large number of vehicles carrying Sabarimala pilgrims also passed through the check post on Monday. Private vehicles and taxis operated till the border and people freely moved across the border check post, police said. There was complete peace in the border areas.
Authorities hope for resumption of normal traffic from Tuesday.
The Kumily police said that compared to the past two days, more vehicles reached the border and tourists also passed through the border check post.
However, only few vehicles crossed the border check post in Cumbom Mettu and in Bodimettu -- the other main check post in the High Ranges. Private taxis carrying workers also reached till the border, though there numbers has not increased on Monday, Cumbom Mettu police said.
Being it a route less preferred by Sabarimala pilgrims, their number crossing the Cumbom Mettu check post is normally less, they said.
The district administration, in a joint step with the Theni administration plans to restore to and fro traffic from Tuesday. Police have been deployed in sensitive areas to a senior police official said.
However, it may take some more time to restore the traffic of private vehicles carrying workers to the plantations in the district. The taxis abstained from work and when normalcy is returned, even these vehicles will also start services, Cumbom Mettu police said.

Last week in my neurobiology class we were to read papers by David Eagleman, neurobiologist and author of Incognito: The secret lives of the brain. He also came to our class for a short Q&A. I was intrigued on his paper about visual illusions. His main interest was in flash lag illusion and the wagon wheel effect.
Flash lag illusion: a visual illusion when a flash and moving object appear to be in the same place but are perceived to be displaced. One theory is that your visual cue predicts the trajectory of the moving object(Nijhawan, 1994). Another theory is that your visual system can process moving objects more quickly than flashed objects. This basically means that by the time your brain has processed the flash the moving object has already changed positions(Nijhawan, 1994). Eagleman however proposed that "visual awareness is neither predictive nor on-line, but is instead postdictive, such that the percept attributed to the time of the flash is a function of events that happen in the ~80 msec following the flash."
Wagon Wheel effect: Optical illusion in which a spiked wheel seems to rotate differently from its true direction. A 2004 study(Eagleman) revealed that the incidences of reversed rotation were independent in different parts of the visual field.
Obviously with all research there are more questions to be addressed, but the study of illusions allows for understanding of biological proccess and provides insight in the field of neurobiology.
If you are interested in visual illusions or just find them interesting to look at i suggest you to look at the link below or simply google it. First you don't see it, now you do.

So we have started eating breakfast at home (where before he was eating breakfast at school). We do eggs, cereal, eggo waffles, and bagels. This can get quite boring so I was wondering if anyone had any quick breakfast ideas. Usually we only have 20-25 minutes for eating breakfast and getting out the door (we already wake up at 6am so there's no way I am waking up any earlier) so it needs to be fast. Thanks!

text: A wise photographer told me "when you can't seem to find the photo. . . turn around or come in from a different angle" Where is the light in reference to the subject. Here is an example. During a cruse to the Caribbean last month I thought that great photographs would be easy picking. This was not the case for me. 90% of what I came up with was what I call postcards. It was not that these postcard photos were bad. But they were not ka-pow either. One afternoon I got out of the depressing downtown of cruise ship ports and out in the countryside. I came across a lady selling shells and tie die dresses. The color of the dresses grabbed my eye and I began taking photos of the dresses hanging on the line. The vendor lady began screaming at me "no photos" I figured that she wanted some money for me to take photos of the dresses. If she asked nicely I would have been happy to pay her. But the screaming didn't help my mood. I walked behind the dresses where she could not see me. I managed to get off a few shots before she saw me and started up again.

Something else to look forward to with the new carts......Awesome!
STEVE! Have a wonderful birthday!!
Bump up for those who've missed it!!
i noticed that i wasn't able to use 2 coupon codes at once (the smilin, and the NY15), and i swear that before new years i was able to use two at once, for a huge order i made. it's no big deal, i was just wondering if that was only allowed during the holidays? i'd tried to use NY15 for an order over 100, and it did work, but then it wouldn't take the SMILIN one.
Smilin is for orders under $100, NY15 is for orders greater than $100. If you were able to use 2 coupons on 1 order before, consider yourself lucky, lol.

[This Op-Ed by Joe Nocera appeared in the NYTIMES this morning. Nocera writes about a man many of us remember fondly, Charlie Peters. A lawyer, WWII Veteran, Kennedy campaigner, Master's in English and former West Virginia Legislator, Charlie was chosen by Shriver to run the first evaluation unit in a federal agency at the Peace Corps. Peters did so with relish, hiring professional journalists and fanning them out overseas to independently evaluate the new Peace Corps programs, many times these reporters wrote evaluations that upset the people back in HQ who had created those programs.
The RPCVs who were around in those early days remember him fondly. Well, Charlie is still at it, spinning out words of wisdom after all these years. And what Charlie has to say about government agencies, and the personnel in them, still rings true.
The Peace Corps attempted to avoid stagnation with the unique policy of  "In, Up and Out." The question today is has that program been enough to keep the Peace Corps and its employees from, as Charlies puts it, maturing and then "become more concerned with self protection, and maneuvering for the next promotion?"
Here's what Nocera and Charlie have to say about the new 'baby' in D.C., the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. A lot of the employees Nocera writes about, back in the day, could have been early Peace Corps Staffers and PCVs.]
Government's Not Dead Yet
March 26, 2012
By Joe Nocera
I met up recently with my old mentor, Charlie Peters, the founder, editor and driving force behind The Washington Monthly, where I worked in the late-1970s. Charlie is a supreme idealist who believes deeply in the good that government can do. He saw it growing up with Roosevelt's New Deal and then again as a member of Sargent Shriver's Peace Corps, where he served as the agency's first director of evaluation.
Now 85, Charlie still believes that that government can make a difference in people's lives. Knowing that many Americans have turned against this idea, he is writing a book "to give evidence that it has happened - and to show it can happen again," he told me. The New Deal and the Great Society were eras when "money was not the driving force in choosing a career," he said. "Passion was. People wanted to be able to do something about the country's most pressing problems - and government was the place to do that."
As Charlie spoke, it occurred to me that there is one agency in today's government where you can still see that passion: the Consumer Financila Protection Bureau. Last week, I went to Washington to spend some time with some of the bureau's new employees.
The brainchild of Elizabeth Warren, the consumer bureau was part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, and it has been charged with looking out for the interests of financial consumers. Warren initially brought it to life, and her charisma and rock-star status was a powerful early draw. "I saw her on TV, and then read her book The Two-Income Trap, " said Sean O'Mealia, 25, who joined the bureau from a consulting company. "I really believed in what she was saying about helping consumers. That was my motivating force."
Warren, alas, left after Senate Republicans made clear that they would never confirm her as director, and President Obama named Richard Cordray, the former attorney general of Ohio, to be the agency's first director. He has been trying to instill a culture that can best take advantage of the young talent flocking to its door. "To corral their sense of idealism and put it in the service of improving life for the average consumer, that is a tremendous thing," he said. In thinking about how to instill that culture, Cordray kept reflecting on Charlie's old boss, Sargent Shriver. "He built on the awareness that there is tremendous talent and energy in young people." That is what Cordray was trying to do.
To judge by the people I spent the day talking to, he's done it well. Angela Peoples, 25, had been the legislative director at the United States Student Association, which had pushed hard to ensure that the new bureau would have authority over student loans. In her still-young career, she had met many students who felt trapped by their loans, and it is the issue she most cared about. Her boss, Rohit Chopra, 30, a former consultant, said, "A whole generation of people are overleveraged with student loans. They won't be able to get a mortgage or save for retirement. They won't be able to do the things that are profitable for the banks."
I met a designer, Audrey Chen, 33, who had worked at Comedy Central and was thrilled to be designing documents that would allow consumers to understand and compare financial offerings. O'Mealia told me how much he admired Cordray's commitment to consumers and how he and other young staff members had become concerned that Cordray was working so hard that he wasn't eating enough. (They took to getting him fruit every night to make sure that he had something to eat.) I met Garry Reeder, 26, who had gone from "a trailer park in North Carolina" to an M.B.A. student at Columbia University. "You can't do that without credit," he said. "But credit also makes a lot of people's lives more difficult." He wanted to make sure that people fully understood what they were getting into when they made a financial transaction. "You can't have a system where the only way an institution does well is if the other party doesn't fully understand the transaction."
When I reported back to Charlie about my inspiring day at the new consumer bureau, he wasn't surprised. "The beautiful thing about a new agency is that everyone is very driven to accomplish the mission. As they mature," he added, "that's when people become more concerned with self protection, and maneuvering for the next promotion." True enough, but a problem for another day.
The last person I spoke to at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was Holly Petraeus, the wife of David Petraeus who leads the agency's office for the military and their families. "I think there are still idealists in Washington," she said. "And they work in this building."

1925 - Russia's Caucasus Pamir Range, the Vanch Mountains
The setting is in the little known grandeur of the Russian Caucasus Pamir
range. The year is 1925. While pursuing soldiers of the ousted White Russian
Army, a relentless Red Army troops searched the rugged terrain hearing tales
of a beast-man who lived in the higher reaches of the soaring Vanch
Mountains. They came upon a cave that looked to be a likely stronghold for
their formidable enemies the White army.
The commanding officer ordered his men to open fire into the cave's opening.
To their shock, a wild hairy creature ran from the cave's mouth crying
inarticulately into a hail of bullets. It fell to the ground, mortally
wounded. Several minutes passed before the officer and his troops
approached the stilled beast, sprawled out in the dirt before them, quiescent, lifeless.
Staring down at the fallen creature, General Mikhail Stepanovich Topilski
thought at first it was an ape. "It was covered with fur," he said. "But I
knew there were no apes in the Pamirs and moreover, the body looked far more
human than ape-like, indeed fully human." The physician attached to the
unit would later write: "he didn't look totally like a man, but it was not
an ape either. It was a male, about two meters tall, (6 ft 7 inches) covered
with dark brown hair and the face was dark, distinctly ape-like." What was
it? Could the wild thing they had shot have been the Russian Kaptar we hear about today?
The entire troop stated in their briefings, that when the beast ran from the
mouth of the cave it did so on two feet, fully upright, dazed, terrified and
fatally injured. Others said the creature appeared to be in an obvious
confused state of pain as it fell. Not able to carry the body of the
creature with them, they buried it under a stone covered cairn near the
mouth of the cave.
As with many tales passed down through time, variations in the recounting
will occur. In this example Odette Tchernine wrote a somewhat different
description of the creature in her book The Yeti. She recorded the
account this way:
Dr. Myra Shackley wrote the same story this way:
In 1925, Mikhail Stephanovitch Topilski, a major general in the Soviet army,
led his unit in an assault on an anti-Soviet guerilla force hiding in a cave
in the Pamirs. One of the surviving guerillas said that while in the cave he
and his comrades were attacked by several apelike creatures. Topilski
ordered the rubble of the cave searched, and the body of one such creature
was found. Topilski reported (Shackley 1983, pp. 118-119): "At first glance
I thought the body was that of an ape. It was covered with hair all over.
But I knew there were no apes in the Pamirs. Also, the body itself looked
very much like that of a man. We tried pulling the hair, to see if it was
just a hide used for disguise, but found that it was the creature's own
natural hair. We turned the body over several times on its back and its
front, and measured it."
"The body," continued Topilski, "belonged to a male creature 165-170 cm
[about 5 1/2 feet] tall, elderly or even old, judging by the grayish color
of the hair in several places. The chest was covered with brownish hair and
the belly with grayish hair. The hair was longer but sparser on the chest
and close-cropped and thick on the belly. In general the hair was very
thick, without any under fur. There was least hair on the buttocks, from
which fact our doctor deduced that the creature sat like a human being.
There was most hair on the hips. The knees were completely bare of hair and
had callous growths on them. The whole foot including the sole was quite
hairless and was covered by hard brown skin. The hair got thinner near the
hand, and the palms had none at all but only callous skin."
Topilski added: "The color of the face was dark, and the creature had
neither beard nor moustache. The temples were bald and the back of the head
was covered by thick, matted hair. The dead creature lay with its eyes open
and its teeth bared. The eyes were dark and the teeth were large and even
and shaped like human teeth. The forehead was slanting and the eyebrows were
very powerful. The protruding jawbones made the face resemble the Mongol
type of face. The nose was flat, with a deeply sunk bridge. The ears were
hairless and looked a little more pointed than a human being's with a longer
lobe. The lower jaw was very massive. The creature had a very powerful chest
and well developed muscles ... The arms were of normal length, the hands
were slightly wider and the feet much wider and shorter than man's."

In the grand scheme of things, a young witch in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is pretty low on the magic ladder, but Emily Edwards likes her quiet unassuming life. Times are tough though, and one little mistake to make life easier for her Pap has Emily's world crashing down around her.
Being shuffled off to a backwoods little town like Lost Pine is exactly what Dreadnought Stanton knows he deserves, but discovering the town's little witch is both a blessing and a curse.
An accident at a mining camp outside of town sends Emily and Mr. Stanton on a run for their lives. Neither of them have ever seen anything like the stone that imbedded itself in Emily's hand, but the power it holds is undeniable. Their only hope is to reach Professor Mirabilis in New York, but making it there alive is proving to be quite a challenge. Everyone wants possession of the stone, and the only thing standing between Emily and certain death is a warlock she is not sure if she wants to kiss or clobber.
Prepare for a hair-raising cross-country adventure full of malevolent beasts, wicked warlocks, and a mostly antagonistic but tender budding relationship. Emily's character is rather brash and oftentimes immature, but her good heart always shines through in the end. I find it harder to get a lock on Mr. Stanton's true personality, but his quiet fortitude and perseverance to keep Emily safe makes him a very intriguing and intense character. With so many twists, turns, and "squinks" it is hard to know who to trust and what to believe, but one thing is certain, this story is not over yet.

The assimilated forms are used only when the second vowel (in the unchanged form) stood in a syllable long by nature or position. Hence ὁροωμεν, ὁραατε, ὁραατο, do not occur for ὁράομεν, etc. (μνωόμενος for μνα_όμενος is an exception.) The first vowel is lengthened only when the metre requires it, as in ἡβώοντες for ἡβάοντες ¯ ˘ ¯ ˘. Thus two long vowels do not occur in succession except to fit the form to the verse, as μενοινώω for μενοινάω; but ἡβώοιμι, not ἡβώῳμι. When the first vowel is metrically lengthened, the second vowel is not lengthened, though it may be long either in a final syllable (as in μενοινά_ᾳ) or when it represents the spurious diphthong ου from -οντ- (as in ἡβώωσα, δρώωσι for ἡβάουσα, δρά_ουσι from -οντyα, -οντι).

How to Conduct the Cheapest International Calls
Posted on Feb 10 2012 at 01:06:08 AM in Technology
Many people ask themselves which are the cheapest methods to make calls abroad for reasons of saving money. One of them is the international calling cards. The latter have several of features to opt from. For example, there is the so called premier calling cards dedicated to loyal users and business owners.
Searches in internet show that the cheapest international calling cards are those with totally uncovered frames including availability of minimum perks. The companies started to offer lower minute by minute prices. The offers for PIN free dialing and speed dial were ten avoided to give a way to new more attractive ones. One should also know that the higher the call time interval is, the lower is the call rate.
Companies offering their clients calling cards tend to add many irrelevant perks. It is some kind of a product advertisement. They are doing it to make you buy the product.
For example, speed dial, PIN-free dialing and other similar, are the main reason for the prices to go up. It is highly possible that purchasing tremendously low cost international cards, the latter may be paid back by monthly service and connection fees. So, if you need to find out how to make the cheapest international calls with the help of calling cards, read further.
First of all, you should know that there are specialty cards. They are used, for example, to international calls cards are usually specified to certain number of countries.

Rita Dove (Author, University of Virginia)
Detailing the volatile relationship between the black violinist George Bridgetower and Beethoven, this is a "masterful collection" (Los Angeles Times).
The son of a white woman and an "African Prince," George Polgreen Bridgetower (1780–1860) travels to Vienna to meet "bad-boy" genius Ludwig van Beethoven. The great composer's subsequent sonata is originally dedicated to the young mulatto, but George, exuberant with acclaim, offends Beethoven over a woman. From this crucial encounter evolves a grandiose yet melancholy poetic tale. A New Yorker's A Year's Reading; Booklist Editors Choice Award.
"A virtuosic treatment of a virtuoso's life . . . stuffed with historical and musical arcana." — The New Yorker
"Dove's richly imagined book has the sweep and vivid characters of a novel, but it's written with a poet's economy, an eye for the exact detail." — Mark Doty, O, The Oprah Magazine

African Queen Mines Ltd. (TSX.V - AQ) is an exploratory resource company with diversified mineral properties in Southern, East and West Africa. It is exploring its properties in Botswana and Namibia for diamonds, and it is exploring its properties in Mozambique, Kenya and Ghana for gold and other metals.
African Queen drops Mozambique operations as it sharpens focus on Kenya, Ghana
African Queen Mines (CVE:AQ) Monday said it would end development at its King Solomon Project in Mozambique to focus on projects in Kenya and Ghana.
The company said it made the decision after "a thorough review of its portfolio of exploration properties" in Southern, West and East Africa, in order to reduce costs of operations and to prioritize projects for development in 2013.
"We must be responsive to the overall economic climate and relatively limited availability of exploration funding at this time," African Queen Mines' CEO Irwin Olian said.
"This requires that we use a very sharp pencil in limiting all costs and evaluating ongoing expenditures on our exploration projects.
"Dropping King Solomon and our Mozambique operations is a necessary part of this process and will allow us to now focus on our higher priority projects in Kenya and Ghana."
Mozambique's King Solomon Project, which covers approximately 230 square kilometres within the central parts of the Mesoproterozoic Fingoe Belt in the nation's western Tete Province.
"Results of the second drill program...failed to reflect meaningful widths or continuity of gold-bearing mineralization. Subsequent study during the past year did not generate any further highly prospective drill targets," African Queen Mines said in a statement.
African Queen Mines also said it implemented cost-cutting measures both at its home office in Vancouver and in the overseas operations and exploration programs.
"The bottom line is that we intend to operate in 2013 as one of the lowest cost and most efficient African explorers, constantly mindful of reducing overheads and expenses, with a sharp reduction in our already modest burn rate," the company said.
"At the same time we intend to work diligently to continue to advance our key projects in order to add shareholder value."
In 2013, the company said it will focus exploration expenditures on its priority gold projects in Kenya at the Odundu target in the Rongo Gold Fields and at Ugunja, and in Ghana at the Noyem-Nyanfoman Gold Project on the Ashanti Belt.
"We can best build shareholder value by focusing our efforts and financial resources on those projects holding out the most promise and periodically dropping projects which do not demonstrate sufficiently positive results to warrant our continued development efforts," the company added.
Speaking to StockTube at the recent Mines & Money event in London - which can be seen on the Proactive Investors website - African Queen's Olian talked about the company's assets and prospects in Kenya and Ghana.
"The company has never been more advanced as it is today and the company's geologists have never been more excited."
While the company was excited about both its assets in Kenya and Ghana "...the project in Ghana is actually the more advanced project because Newmont (TSE:NMC)(NYSE:NEM) and its predecessors previously had the project and established a historic resource of 1.1 million ounces at a very high grade of 6 grams per tonne...the bottom line is we think we're onto an important system of relatively high-grade gold."
Indeed, the Noyem-Nyanfoman Gold Project in Ghana is located only 12 miles from Newmont's big new Akyem Project - an 8-million ounce gold project due to go into production.
Monday, shares were up 5 per cent to 10 cents.

Bodele Depression Dust Storm
May 6, 2013
Dust-storm activity picked up in Chad's Bodele Depression in mid-December 2007. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this image on December 20, during the area's second day of intense dust activity.
In this image, dual off-white plumes of dust blow toward the southwest. The Bodele Depression sits between two mountain ranges in Chad, downwind from a natural wind tunnel. Although this desert area appears largely devoid of life, it plays in important role in life halfway around the world. Minerals in Bodele dust plumes help fertilize soils in the Amazon Rainforest.
Much of the dust from the Bodele Depression often blows toward Lake Chad. In this image, the lake is dotted with red hotspots that indicate the location of fires.

Lockhart River is a coastal Aboriginal community situated on the eastern coast of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. The population consists mostly of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, whose ancestors were forcibly moved to the area beginning in 1924.[3] At the 2006 census, Lockhart River had a population of 542, which increased to 642 at the 2011 Census.[1]
It is 800 kilometres (500 mi) north by road from Cairns and approximately 2,550 kilometres (1,580 mi) by road north of Brisbane. Lockhart River is the northern most town on the east coast of Australia. The community is also located approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) inland from Quintell Beach and is within the Iron Range National Park. During WW2, Lockhart River Airport was constructed as a bomber base, from where many sorties were flown against Japanese forces during the critical Battle of the Coral Sea, 4–8 May 1942.
Lockhart River is also the name of a river located 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) south of the community. The river was named by explorer Robert Logan Jack in January 1880 after a close friend, Hugh Lockhart.[4]
Beginning in 1924, Aboriginal people gathered and were collected from eastern regions of Cape York and placed at the Anglican Church Mission at Orchid Point near the Lockhart River, which had been a centre for the sandalwood trade. Six months later, the Mission was relocated to Bare Hill, south of Cape direction. After the Second World War broke out, the European superintendent went on furlough in 1942 and the Aboriginal people were told to go to several bush camps and fend for themselves. After 4 to 6 months, the mission was re-established but with poor resources and lack of funding. A better period followed in the 1950s under superintendent John Warby. A Cooperative Society operated during this time while in the trochus shell industry until prices failed. New housing was built and separate group villages were brought together into one on the coastal side.
Iron Range Post Office opened on 5 November 1936, closed in 1942, reopened in 1950 and was renamed Lockhart River in 1978.[5]
In 1967, the Anglican Church handed over the mission to the Queensland Government who tried to relocate the people to Bamaga. Most of the people refused to go. In 1968-9, the people were relocated from the traditional area of the Uutaalnganu people on the coast to a new site in Kuuku Ya'u country further north and inland from Quintel Beach. This move and the assimilation policy of the new government administration resulted in much discontent and friction.[6]
The community has DOGIT status and is governed by its own Community Council.
A mix of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders live in the community. The population is between 650 - 700, with most being Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders. Approximately 30 are contract workers, including: teachers, nurses, police, shop employees, council administration, council workshop, carpenter, and plumber.
The Lockhart River 'local' population consists of five different clan groups: the Wuthathi from the north of the Olive River; the Kuuku Ya'u from Lloyd Bay and Weymouth Bay; the Uutaalnganu from the Lockhart River south to Friendly Point; the Umpila from Friendly Point to the Massey River; and the Kaanju from the inland mountain areas behind the coast. (Targeting 2000, 1995) Local language is slowing fading out.
Most of the population lives in the community town area itself. There are two 'Outstations'. The first is at 'Old Site' and is only normally used during the dry season when vehicles can drive to that location on a rough inland road. It is sometimes used as a "weekender" by some local families during the calm weather over the Christmas to January period.
The second 'Outstation' is at Chili Beach and is normally occupied all year round by the Hobson family group. It remains accessible by road and water most of the time.
A number of smaller communities also exist: these are Wattle Hills Station, Pascoe River 'Farm', Chili Beach, Packer's Bay and Portland Roads.
Wattle Hills Station is located just inside the mouth of the Pascoe River, north of Lockhart River. It is a share arrangement for persons opting out of mainstream society. Approximately 30 persons live in open-plan style houses. This station has its own airstrip and mail service once a week. Some of the houses have telephones connected and all are linked by their own private UHF radio network under the Rural Fires scheme.
Pascoe River 'farm' is located on the banks of the Pascoe River quite some distance inland. Access to the 'Farm' is from the main Lockhart River to Archer River road, 52 kilometres (32 mi) from the Lockhart River community. A track leads a further 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) to the 'Farm'. It is occupied by the Fyfe extended family group. Approximately 10 to 15 people live on the farm.
Chili Beach has a number of dwellings squatting along the secluded beaches and headlands. Approximately 10 - 20 persons live there.
Packer's Bay also has a number of open plan and full residential style houses occupied by persons opting out of mainstream society. Approximately 10 persons live there.
Portland Roads community is a reasonably standard housing area with some open plan style houses and no power, water or sewerage facilities. It was predominantly a fishing community until the recent changes to Fisheries Regulations. Many prawn trawlers, cray boats and yachts use this sheltered anchorage. Approximately 10 persons live here.
Lockhart River has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) closely bordering on tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw).

History timeline[edit]
1848 The explorer Edmund Kennedy set up a base camp near the mouth of the Pascoe River. Edmund Kennedy left eight men there. By the time they were located by the supply ship, only two remained alive, the other six having died from disease and starvation.
By the 1870s Fisherman with luggers looking for trepang, pearl shell and trochus were in the coastal areas. Miners in search of tin and gold along with timber cutters were in the hills around Gordon Creek and the country inland around the Wenlock River.
1924 - 1967 The Church of England set up a mission at Ochid Point in Lloyd Bay. This mission was then moved to Bare Hill, south of Cape Direction, which is now known as 'Old Site' {Putchiwuchi in Uutaalnganu}.
1942 The 'Old Site' mission was abandoned by the non-Indigenous staff for four months after first confiscating all firearms from the local people who then returned to large campsites on their country principally along the coast for about six months. After missionary Harry Johnson returned from leave, they returned to the old mission site.
During World War II, a large American bomber base was set up at Gordon's Airstrip with three airstrips operating. The US bombers would fly to the Papua New Guinea and be met by their fighter escorts based at Bamaga and Horn Island further north. Many thousands of troops, both US and Australian, passed through as part of their jungle training, before being shipped to southeast Asia. Portland Roads community, 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Lockhart River, was the supply port for the war effort with a large jetty. This jetty has since been removed. Many old bunkers and rusting 44 gallon drums can still be found in bush areas.
1967 - 1987 The Queensland Government took control of the mission in May 1967 and tried to move the population to Umagico, near Bamaga. Some people moved to Umagico; however, many resisted the move. The current site of the Lockhart River Community was established near Lloyd Bay in 1968-9.
1987 The Lockhart River Community was given 'Deed of Grant in Trust' (DOGIT) title of the lands. Locally elected councillors now provide administration for the Lockhart River DOGIT.
Shopping and services[edit]
School: State preschool and primary school (up to year 7), limited Secondary schooling (up to year 10). Older children mostly attend boarding schools.
Post Office is a sub branch which offers basic postal services and on weekday afternoons basic banking services for the Commonwealth Bank. There is an EFTPOS machine next to the bank.
Council workshop also does private vehicle repairs, services and puncture repairs (no panel repairs available). A welding section is also available for very basic welding repairs and fabrications.
Health and Community: A local 'Health Clinic' is available for Primary Health Care only. It is staffed by four registered nurses with 'Remote Nursing' qualifications. The community does not have a doctor. The Royal Flying Doctor Service visits each week on Tuesday and remains overnight, flying out Wednesday afternoon. About every two months, a dentist and other medical specialists attend as needed. A basic ambulance service is available. A well set up woman's shelter exists at Lockhart River community directly opposite the police station. The shelter uses UHF CB radio channel 10. There is also a men's centre and the Health and Community Care centre providing meals on wheels and aged care.
The retail store is a modern purposely built facilities, operated by the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multi-Cultural Affairs.

Alcohol Restrictions Lockhart River is in an alcohol restricted area. This means no alcohol or home brewing equipment is permitted in the Lockhart River shire, including roads. Heavy fines will be enforced under the Queensland Government's alcohol management plans if you are found with alcohol in Lockhart River and many other indigenous communities in Cape York Peninsula alcohol restricted area.
Road conditions: The streets around community itself and the road to the Airport are bitumen. All other access roads are dirt. The roads are rough and hard mechanically on vehicles, as they are in the most remote community in Queensland. The access road is generally closed completely from December to March, being closed through to July in very wet years. Rivers are crocodile infested and it would be unwise to attempt to use the road during the wet season. Anybody who wants to travel off main roads and outside National Park boundaries onto traditional country must gain permission from Traditional Owners. During the dry months the road is suitable for experienced four wheel drivers only. Some road reports give incorrect information. A current road condition can be sourced from the Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire Council.
Barge delivers to the Quintell Beach wharf weekly, freight only no passenger service.
Airport is run by the Lockhart River Airport Corporation. It is an all weather strip, with flights to Cairns Monday to Friday. There is self-contained accommodation available at the airport. Hire cars are available at the airport from Lockhart River Car hire.
2005 aircrash[edit]
On 7 May 2005, a Fairchild Aircraft Inc. SA227-DC Metro 23 aircraft, registered VH-TFU, with two pilots and 13 passengers, was being operated by Transair on an instrument flight rules regular public transport service from Bamaga to Cairns, with an intermediate stop at Lockhart River, Queensland. At 1143:39 Eastern Standard Time, the aircraft impacted terrain in the Iron Range National Park on the north-western slope of South Pap, a heavily timbered ridge, approximately 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) north-west of the Lockhart River aerodrome. At the time of the accident, the crew was conducting an area navigation global navigation satellite system (RNAV (GNSS)) nonprecision approach to runway 12. The aircraft was destroyed by the impact forces and an intense, fuel-fed, post-impact fire. There were no survivors.[8]

Pattern regulation in defect embryos of Xenopus laevis. | |

PMID: 6692985 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Defect embryos of 24 series were prepared by removing increasing numbers of blastomeres from an 8-cell embryo of Xenopus laevis. They were cultured and their development was examined macroscopically when controls reached a tailbud stage or later. Results show that most of defect embryos of 12 series develop normally, and some of them become normal frogs. Each of these defect embryos contain at least two animal blastomeres, one dorsal, and one ventral blastomere of the vegetal hemisphere. This suggests that a set of these four blastomeres of the three types is essential for complete pattern regulation. |
