Fantasy football is probably the worst name possible for fantasy football. Not that I still have dreams of playing in the Super Bowl™ – I'm 37, Jewish, and have a well-documented foot fetish – it's just that this thing they call fantasy football, far from a fantasy.
You see, like many idiots out there, I am the commissioner of my league. It's the shittiest, most thankless, least rewarding job in the history of the world. You know those guys at the Kentucky Derby who push those horses in the butt and sometimes get blasted in the face? This is worse.
Over the last 72 hours, I've had to juggle 12 grown men's schedules in order to plan a draft. I've received four separate emails from bozos who after 14 years in the same league still have no idea how many wide receivers we start. Yesterday my boy Sweddies told me he couldn't remember his login. He couldn't remember his login. Had NO IDEA what it could be. And somehow, he thought I could help him. As if when you sign up on CBS Sportsline you automatically learn how to be an IT guy. For the record I also forgot my login, but that's not the point.
I have dreams of playing fantasy fantasy football. In a league where people actually enjoy each other's company, and get excited to spend one night each year surrounded by wings, beer and friendship. A league where owners make trades – or even offer trades! – and talk trash, and don't start Dennis Pitta on his bye week. These leagues exist right? They must. I've heard about them. Heard tales by the water cooler of dudes who go on SEC football trips every fall. As of now my friend Larbo cannot attend this year's draft because his wife's "got the shits."
So as this fantasy season fast approaches, commissioners all over America are on suicide watch. Blood pressures are boiling as we prepare for another year of being yelled at. So for all you commissioners out there goin' through the shit, keep ya head up, follow these tips, and don't ever, ever return anyone's emails.
Tip #1 – Rule with an Iron Fist
It's 12:57 on a Sunday afternoon and your boy Dorfdog just texted you that he needs to swap out Darren McFadden (who tweaked his hammy during warm-ups) in favor of Steven Jackson (who is terrible). Dorf is a nice guy. A quality dude who pays his dues on time and has never once sexted your girlfriend. Do you let it slide and make the move? Or text Dorfdog back "NOPE."
The answer: Nooooooooo chance you make the move. There are rules in this world Dorfy, and there are rules in this league! You know damn well the rosters lock at 12:55. Yell at Dorf for at least five minutes, tell him he's a horrible GM and has been for as long as you've known him. Make sure he understands that if you bend the rules for him, you have to bend them for everyone, and that's not gonna happen because you bend the rules for NO MAN. Then give him your online password and just let him make the move. It's fantasy football for cryin' out loud. Who cares. It's a made up, stupid, fictional football league that literally means nothing. Besides, you're not really ruling with an iron fist, you're just pretending. So the dude missed the deadline by two minutes… remember that time you pulled up to Wendy's drive-thru two minutes after it closed and that dude still gave you a cheeseburg? That dude was nice. And so are you. And so is Dorf. It's not his fault he looks like a mole man.
Tip #2 – Ban People
You know how to get people's attention? Ban 'em. Just ban 'em right outta your league. If they don't pay their dues, or start a Dallas Cowboy, just ban 'em. I mean, what's more important? Maintaining friendships you've had since grade school? Or feeling the power of banning? You know the answer to that question. I'm insulted you even asked.
If someone misses your draft, that's an automatic ban. Last year I banned my buddy Loaves for just that reason – been friends with him since 3rd grade – banned 'em straight outta the league. After receiving ohhhhhhh, I dunno, 17 reminder emails about our draft date, Loaves told me last minute that he'd have to miss it because he was flying to Seattle. On an airplane. On the one night of the year where he had an actual obligation, he scheduled a transcontinental flight. He sent his wife in his place. Best thing that ever happened to our league. She showed up in short shorts and flip flops and I've been sexting with her ever since. She ended up in 3rd place. Then I banned her. I desperately want her to ban me back.
Tip #3 – Draw Up a Constitution
This is imperative for all fantasy league commissioners. Draft a constitution explaining all league rules so that when people argue about stuff, you can just point to the constitushe and not have to talk to them. The constitution I wrote only has one rule: every GM must ask my permission before having sex with a dog. Not really the best constitushe, but a constitushe nonetheless. And to this day – to the best of my knowledge – not one of them has nailed a dog without my approval.
Tip #4 – Don't Ever Ever Ever Ask People When They Wanna Have the Draft
A few years ago, my man Babs suggested we hold the draft every year on the same date: the Saturday before Labor Day. Seemed like a great idea. Seemed like a genius idea. Probably the worst idea of all time. No one knows when Labor Day is. The day literally changes every year. It's like scheduling the draft on the fifth day of Rosh Hashanah. Babs is an idiot. He should probably be banned. Pick a draft date and stick to it. Ours is October 12th.
Tip #5 – Don't Worry About Being a Good Commissioner
You were not put on this earth to be a fantasy football league commissioner. You were put on this earth to eat Wendy's. This whole commish business is just something you volunteered to do one day like an idiot. You're a perfectly fine commissioner. You think anyone has ever stood up at someone's funeral and said, "Aw man, that Theodore, he was one hell of a commish. A master of the waiver wire!" No one wants your job. Everyone just wants cheeseburgs.
Tip #6 – Masturbate All the Time
Smart thing to do in any scenario, really.
Tip #7 – Drink Poison
Have a great season everyone!
L'shana tova!

Mission trip to Khandbari, Nepal November 4-17, 2000
The Helping Hands Organization was founded by an international businessman raised in Khandbari, Nepal. The group has been providing medical relief to people of Nepal since 1992. Dr. Robert Hardesty became aware of the medical services being provided and decided to explore the region as a possible mission destination of Operation Good Samaritan. A trip was organized to determine if it would be feasible to make Nepal a routine site of service.
Geographic region:
Nepal is border by China (Tibet) to the north with the balance of the country surrounded by India. Twenty-one percent of Nepal is under cultivation. Its two main groups are Caucasian Indo-European speaking and Mongolian Tibetan-Burmese speaking. The government is structure as a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarch. The state religion is Hindu with the next largest denominations being Buddhists and Muslims. Roughly 28 million people live in Nepal with 40 percent below the age of 15. As one of the world's poorest countries, the gross national product per inhabitant is around US $200.
Twelve faculty, students, and community health professionals from plastic surgery, ob/gyn, anesthesia, nursing, and dentistry.
Our mission was to provide basic ob/gyn, plastic surgery, and dental care with the assistance of our anesthesia and nursing colleagues. Additionally, we wanted to evaluate Nepal as a site for future mission trips.
There were four key components of the medical facility in Khandbari. first was the outpatient section, where several rooms were available for general medicine and ob/gyn clinics. Second, a lab for urine, stool, and blood work was available. The fee per lab test was 8 rupees (70 rupees = $1 US). Third was the operating room which was basically one room with three wooden tables for procedures. Finally, there were three inpatient rooms with a total of 15 beds.
Personal reflections:
"It was particularly gratifying to repair the cleft lips in young girls because in the Nepalese culture such a defect typically makes a woman undesirable as a bride." Todd Mirzai, LLUMC plastic surgery resident
Future plans:
Although there is a great need for medical care in Nepal, we found the facilities, transportation, and terrain limiting factors for a mission trip lasting two weeks or less.

Dec. 15, 2003
Throughout the 2003-04 basketball season, GoLobos.com will be conducting "Ask the Coach/Player" sessions with different Lobo men's basketball coaches and players.
Below are answers to some of the questions you submitted to Lobo sophomore Mikal Monette over the last week. Don't forget the Lobos face Coppin State on Sunday, December 21 at 1:00 p.m. (M.S.T.) in The Pit. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the UNM Ticket Office or by calling (505) 925-LOBO (5626).
Q&A With Mikal Monette
Mikal, do you think you have a better team this year than last year? (Jesse, Abiquiu, N.M.)
MM: Yeah, I think so. I think we have a lot more depth this year. We have more athletic guys and just a lot more guys that know what it takes to win. So I think we're a lot better than we were last year.
What was your most memorable high school basketball moment? (Gabe, Albuquerque, N.M.)
MM: I don't know. I have a lot of them, but I'd probably say scoring 39 points and 18 rebounds against Valley because that was my high scoring game. Either that or the times I got to play against Serge and Giovanni (Rio Grande HS) because there were so many big crowds out there.
Mikal, My Westside friends tell me that Wyoming and Rutgers wanted you to walk on. And that you had numerous DII and JC offers. What made you decide on UNM? (Scott, Rio Rancho, N.M.)
MM: Having the opportunity to play in my hometown, in front of people that have seen me play all of my life, and to play in front of such great fans. Just being able to have the opportunity to earn minutes is the main thing that made me want to go here.
Mikal, What is the strongest and weakest parts of your game? (Phil, Albuquerque, N.M.)
MM: The strongest part would probably be my rebounding at the defensive end, and my weakest, I'd have to say is my ball handling. I need to get better at ball handling.
How do you see your role developing on this team by the time your senior year rolls around? (Rob, Albuquerque, N.M.)
MM: Hopefully I'll be able to be one of those guys that can get in there and just do a little bit of everything and can contribute by doing some little things, getting some points, rebound and getting some stops on defense. I really just want to turn into an all-around player by my senior year. That's the kind of roll I think I'd like to have when I'm a senior.
Do you see yourself moving more towards the 3?
MM: I'd like to. I think that's more my natural position. I think I can do a lot more from that position and still be able to rebound and defend. I think I could go onto do that.
That's where the improvement in ball handling will help you out?
MM: Yeah. I'll need to work on my ball handling to be able to play the 3.
What do you contribute to Lobo men's Basketball? (Skip, Rio Rancho, N.M.)
MM: I come out here and work. I don't just come out and go through the motions. I come out here and try to get better every day and help my teammates get better. Just pushing people in practice and doing what it takes to make other people get better. When I get into the game, I just try to do some of the little things to help our team win.
Mike, what advice would you give to young, 8 to 15 year old, boys and girls, on playing basketball? (Ray, Albuquerque Westside)
MM: The first thing you have to do is set goals. You have to know what you are trying to accomplish before you can achieve it. It doesn't matter what kind of goals you set, just make sure you are making progress. If you're a kid playing on the freshman team and you're not getting much time, maybe your goal should be to just get on the floor. Once you get in the game your goals change to being able to do some other things. You have to keep setting goals and trying to achieve them.
I really like your toughness and hard work. What do you think do you think made you such a tough, hard-nosed player? (Owen, Las Vegas, N.M.)
MM: I'd say just battling all the time. During AAU practices, we always had this thing where it would be 3-on-3 and they wouldn't call any fouls and you just had to play through everything. You could get offensive rebounds and take it up to score. I think that really helped a lot. And just going through tough situations too, and knowing that you can be successful, I think that's what makes you real tough.
Who have been some of your biggest role models in life on and off the court? (Aaron, Albuquerque, N.M.)
MM: On the court I always looked up to guys like Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and all the great players. Off the court, I'd say my brother and my parents. They were really big role models and they've always been real supportive and have really helped me out in a lot of situations.
Do you ever play against any of your old teammates from Cibola? (Sam, Rio Rancho, N.M.)
MM: Yeah, I played against Chris Lange just the other day against Sacrament State. We won the game, so it was kind of fun.
Did you think it was weird when you first came on the team that some of your old enemies were on the same team as you, such as Jeff Hart and Mark Walters. (Sam, Rio Rancho, N.M.)
MM: At first it was kind of weird because they were guys that I went up against in high school and it's a little different, but I don't find it too difficult. We easily got over that. It was a little different at the beginning but I've had no problems with it. They are great guys and it's been fun.
Hey Mikal, what do hope to accomplish this year? Do you have any goals for yourself? (Tammy, Rio Rancho, N.M.)
MM: My big goal right now is to keep getting playing time and getting out there and being able to contribute. I want to help the team win doing whatever I can, whether it's playing good defense, rebounding or maybe coming back on offense and setting screens. I really just want us to win this year. The main thing I want us to accomplish is to have a winning record and do as best as we can do as team.

I just came back from a walk in the country with my husband. I happened to see some horses and thought of you and Rosie. How is she doing? Do you get much of a chance to ride her?
My hair wasn't quite flowing in the wind. For one thing, it's too short to flow. And for another thing, I wear a very sturdy and plasticky helmet to protect my head in the event of a mishap. One fractured skull in my lifetime is enough!! ;)
And no handsome knight in shining armour on a black steed to save me either.... he probably would've peed himself from laughing so hard, rusted his armour, and been no help to me anyway ;)
Wow, what a sight!! Was your hair flowing majectically through the wind? Who cares about your yelps as long as your hair was flowing in the right direction. Was there any handsome man in a black stallion in hot puruit trying to save you?
I'm really not that graceful or majestic when I'm riding her!! Especially the time when this massive Clydesdale made a surprise appearance at the side of the road, and Rosa hightailed it out of there at top speed!! I'm sure I amused all the neighbours with my mad screams of "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA!!!!!" as I bounced around on top of her!! I still don't know how I managed to stay on -- but I do know that we won't be riding on that road again!!
You are so lucky to be able to spend your spare time with her. She's so beautiful!!! I can just imagine what an image you present, riding majestically on top of her, on a country road. Very English, moorish, Bronte ish!!!
Elise, Rosa is doing fine, except for one problem -- she just hates having her saddle & bridle put on. On Friday, it took me about 15 minutes to get the bridle on her. I don't know why she fights it -- the only thing I can think of is that she got a scrape on the top of her head a couple of weeks ago, and maybe the bridle rubs on it and bothers her. I'm going to give her a week off from riding and see if she feels better about things after a little break.
I go to see her and ride her 3 days a week. I'm taking two afternoons off from work each week so I can spend more time with her. I need to find some trails to ride on -- right nowm I ride her either in the pasture or on the road. It's not a busy road, but a quiet foreast trail would be better :)
Here's a picture of Rosa from a few weeks ago....

It's strange that after major flooding one of the biggest problems facing Husna's village was finding water.
Major flooding in the Shikapur region of Pakistan forced thousands of families from their homes. But as soon as the waters receded, Oxfam swung into action. To help people get on with their lives ASAP after their return, they installed vital household water systems. As Husna explained: "I must have water for the basic needs in life - for cooking, drinking and washing. For all life activities." Oxfam ensured that all the hand pumps in 92 villages were working and sited 100-plus metres away from the nearest latrine to ensure the water was clean and safe to drink. We also helped local people construct hygienic, flood-proof concrete platforms for village pumps to protect them from future floods.
This gift will fund Oxfam's 'Water for All' projects.
Nectar points cannot be collected on any element of a transaction which is paid for by redeeming points.

Grade Exclusion and Grade Replacement Polices
Grade Exclusion Policy
Students who entered UT Arlington in Fall 2006 are eligible to take advantage of the Grade Exclusion policy. In essence, students may choose to exclude a course grade of a D or F from their cumulative GPA calculation to impact their current Academic Standing at UT Arlington within the restrictions of the catalog policy. The official policy, with this list of limitations, can be found in the Academic Regulations section of the Undergraduate Catalog. Students should read the policy in its entirety and discuss with an Academic Advisor in their major department or the University Advising Center for undeclared students.
It is important to note that courses that have been excluded from the GPA calculation do remain on the academic transcript but cannot be used to satisfy a requirement toward a degree. For instance, if a student chooses to exclude a grade of D from a HIST 1311 course, that student cannot use that excluded course to meet the core requirement for history on their degree plan. Likewise, that course can still be viewed by other academic institutions or graduate programs and could still be considered in their calculations of a GPA.
Grade Exclusions can be filed with the Office of Records.
Grade Replacement Policy
Upon earning a grade of D or F in a course, a student has the opportunity to replace the original grade when repeating the course. Some schools and colleges have restrictions on repeating courses. A grade replacement means that the prior course grade of D or F will not be used in the GPA calculation; however, the first attempt course will remain on the official transcript. If simply repeating a course rather than replacing it, the original D or F grade will continue to be calculated into the GPA. Petitions for grade replacements must be filed in the Office of Records.
For more information, see Academic Regulations in the Undergraduate Catalog.

In his speech at CPAC, Texas Governor Rick Perry brought the crowd to its feet by saying this:
Nowhere does the Constitution say we should federalize classrooms. Nowhere does it give federal officials primary responsibility over the air we breathe, the land we farm, the water we drink. And nowhere does it say Congress has the right to federalize health care… It is time for Washington to focus on the few things the Constitution establishes as the federal government's role: defend our country, provide a cogent foreign policy, and – what the heck – deliver the mail, preferably on time and on Saturdays. Get out of the health care business! Get out of the education business!
This points to a concern of mine and which Michael Gerson and I wrote about recently in an essay for National Affairs. For starters, Governor Perry's interpretation of enumerated powers is more restrictive than what many of the Federalist Founders believed. (See the essay and here for more.) As for Governor Perry's line of argument: He says the Constitution doesn't give "primary" responsibility over the air we breathe, the land we farm and the water we drink. But in fact, the Constitution doesn't affirm even a secondary role for the areas mentioned by Perry. Is it really his position, then, that the federal government should have no role in education, health care, and clean air and water? What about child immunization? Support for the National Institutes of Health? Pell grants? The GI Bill? All of the New Deal? Bans on child labor? The Second National Bank (signed into law by the "father" of the Constitution, James Madison)? After all, the Constitution says nothing about establishing a national bank.
It's worth quoting here, as I have before, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who made this observation:
Perhaps the most important act of the Continental Congress was the Northwest Ordinance which provided a direct federal subsidy for education. Almost the first act of the Congress established by the present Constitution was to reaffirm this grant. A plaque on the Sub-Treasury on Wall Street commemorates both actions. This does not invalidate the view that the federal government ought not to exercise any responsibility, but it does make nonsense of the view that the Constitution – presumably because it does not mention the subject – somehow bars such an exercise.
It is one thing – and I think very much the right thing – to argue for a more limited role for the federal government and conservative reforms of everything from entitlement programs to education, from our tax code to our immigration system to much else. It's quite another when we have the kind of loose talk from the governor of the second most populous state in America.
I realize that some people will argue that what Perry is offering up is simply "red meat" for a conservative audience. It's a (lazy) default language those on the right sometimes resort to in order to express their unhappiness with the size of the federal government. But words matter, Governor Perry is actually putting forth (albeit in a simplified version) a governing philosophy, and most Americans who hear it will be alarmed by it.
As a political matter, running under the banner of "Get out of the health care business! Get out of the education business!" hardly strikes me as the best way to rally people who are not now voting for the GOP in presidential elections. I'm reminded of the words of the distinguished political scientist James Q. Wilson: "Telling people who want clean air, a safe environment, fewer drug dealers, a decent retirement, and protection against catastrophic medical bills that the government ought not to do these things is wishful or suicidal politics."
According to a CBS News/New York Times poll, only 33 percent of respondents had a favorable view of the Republican Party while 61 percent had an unfavorable view. Having a prominent GOP figure give a speech in which he insists that virtually the entire modern state is unconstitutional and therefore illegitimate probably won't help matters. Then again, neither does having the 2008 vice presidential nominee give a speech in which she takes great delight in re-writing Dr. Seuss.
This is not what the Republican Party or the conservative cause needs just now.

The latest T3 poll results are in...
After recent data showed that one-in-three UK households own a Nintendo Wii, we asked you in last week's T3 poll when you last used your Ninty console.
Much to our suprise, 35% of you claimed to have waved a Wiimote in the last seven days. However, only 11% of you said that you had played with your Wii on that day or the day before. 19% of you said you had not switched on your Wii for a long, long time, no doubt collecting dust in a cupboard somewhere.
With Sony having already unleashed its answer to the Nintendo Wii in the shape of the PlayStation Move controller, and Kinect, Microsoft's motion-sensing peripheral set to launch in the UK in November, motion gaming is set to be big business in the run up to Christmas.
Nintendo has recently announced that the Wii Remote Plus will land in Europe in November. Will this be enough to save Ninty from being turfed out by Sony and Microsoft?
Let us know your thoughts on the future of the Nintendo Wii on Twitter and Facebook.
This week's T3 poll: Gadget of the Year 2011: Who could be up?

Whew!!! So true life confession: I LOVE CELEBRITIES! All of them!!! I love then soo much in fact, that when I'm not busy writing my own blog @shehashadit you can almost certainly find me at my home away from home, the elevator halls of VH1!!! Celebrities are constantly in and out of there day in and day out, and it is my life goal to meet every single one!!! Duuuuhh!!!…okay so I may get a few restraining orders??? Totally worth it!!!


text: I bought 506 (seashell pink) last month after having foundation matched. At the time, I hadn't tried Giorgio Armani products before so didn't know whether the products justified the price. Wow doesn't even sum it up. I loved it so much that I bought 402 (Raspberry) this month. This shade!!! Stunning! The quality is unbelievable. Having now tried the lipsticks, foundation and sheer liquid, I am a convert.

A most excellent retelling of the classic fairy tale
This is definitely not Disney's Snow White. True, there is no sex or bad language, and violence is only discussed, not really depicted, but that's really where the similarities end. In Patricia C. Wrede's version of the classic fairy tale, Snow White and Rose Red are the daughters of a...

What does Suggs need to lead?
Suggs is the new leader of the Ravens defense
There's no textbook or formula on what's needed to take over as the leader of a sports team.
It can be done quietly or with fanfare or mixing both styles. Terrell Suggs is taking over as the leader of the Ravens' defense, filling in for long-time top guy Ray Lewis. And so far, Suggs has gotten off to a very good start.
Suggs has some advantages over others who might have tried to do the job. First of all, he's already well-known and well-respected in the locker room. He was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2011 and has been an outstanding pass rusher since joining the Ravens.
Plus, he's got the kind of personality that makes people look and listen. He's not a "look-at-me" person. Suggs will make you look and laugh at the same time. That's what good leaders in any job of business do. They get your attention.
Suggs also knows how to go over to teammates on the field and tell them what to do. He does it quietly or he can do it more forcefully. Good leaders on a football team must get certain messages across, something Lewis proved to be great at.
But more than anything, leaders have to be able to deal with the heat that comes with being in the spotlight. Lewis thrived under it; he loved it. A lot of players are quiet leaders who stay away from the lights, and that works also. But when you have a player who handle the pressure and help guide a group, that's something special.
Terrell Suggs is stepping in for a legend this year. He can't be Ray Lewis, and here's betting he won't try. However, if he keeps doing what he's been doing so far, the veteran linebacker will fill the shoes of Lewis without any problems at all.

Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Classic 2012
In this month's issue
Argentina, $26
It might be a bit hard to track down, but this malbec is worth the effort. Argentinians are mad about their steak and mad about their malbec, and both passions combine in this wine. With a herbal aroma and licorice hints over mulberries, it's bursting with aromatics and not too much wood.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars 'Top class'
Value: Worth it
Food: Rib eye with salsa verde

The X2 Kui Buri Resort is like a dream home coming true and a place of relaxation in one. The modern resort was designed and completed by the modern architects at DBALP. The modern architecture is located specifically at Muang District of Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand.
It looks extremely relaxing – won't you agree? But setting the looks aside, the structure also evokes a welcoming feeling like you wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I love how the designers rendered the great kitchen. It is modern yet it offers significant warmth ideal for vacationers.
The architecture is located on a pristine beach specifically in the Gulf of Thailand. The contemporary resort features 23 semi-villas that are equipped with their own pools, gardens and of course terraces. I'd definitely love to be in one of these semi-villas. Wood is the primary element in the fixtures within the resort.
Exteriorly, I love how the resort looked modern yet on the insides the warmth feels like one of the classics. The resort is very accommodating – a perfect place for people who want to break away and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The design also had a touch of traditional Thailand style especially in the interiors of the villas. The 23 semi-villas all had an air of privacy and intimacy and it just keeps getting better.

The salespeople of the gold investment industry publish a lot of bold claims about central bank activities in the gold market (for example, here) along the lines of "All central banks want to suppress the gold price.", "The central banks have secretly leased and sold most of their gold." The present article is an attempt to summarize the facts that we know and to offer a rather different interpretation.

The black curve (left scale) of the following chart shows the London pm gold fixing in U.S. dollars from 1 January 2006 to 30 April 2012. During the light-blue intervals which span about 35% of the entire period, the gold price increased at an annualized rate of 41.1%. During the remaining intervals, the price increased only at an annualized rate of 7.9%. The light-blue intervals are the result of a trading algorithm whose buy signals are indicated by the green dots and whose sell signals by the red dots.
In this article, we explain how the signals can be computed from the variations of the inventory of the SPDR Gold Shares exchange traded trust (NYSEArca:GLD). We explain why the inventory adjustments can hardly be caused by price arbitrage between the GLD share price and the loco London spot price alone. We rather claim that bullion banks finance their inventory by lending it or selling it to GLD investors and that bullion banks manage their physical reserves by accessing the physical gold inside GLD.
The fact that a certain type of inventory adjustments has predictive power, supports the idea that large inventory changes are the result of active reserve management. This provides us with a unique window into the flow of physical gold that is usually obscured by the dominance of paper gold trading. A similar, but somewhat less robust result is shown for the iShares Silver Trust (NYSEArca:SLV).
WARNING (April 2013): This article uses the term buy signal in a technical sense. It does not mean that you ought to buy anything without understanding what you are doing. Notably, the rapid price increases after the buy signals have been absent since the fourth quarter 2012. Now you might dismiss the trading algorithm as a statistical fluctuation. Alternatively, you can wonder whether something might have changed.

The following chart shows the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil spot price in US$ (source: US Energy Information Administration).
Obviously, there was a speculative bubble from early 2007 to mid 2008 which then collapsed during the second half of 2008. In a series of articles, Chris Cook claims that the crude oil price has been in another bubble since the end of 2009 and that this bubble is just beginning to pop. The present article is an attempt at understanding the mechanics underlying Chris Cook's ideas.

Alternative title: How Credit Creates Inflation
Alternative title: How Gresham's Law Destroys the Gold Standard
Our small closed economy has five main protagonists, Alice the Automobile Saleswoman, Bob the Banker, Charlie the Capitalist, Dave the Debtor, and Steve the Saver. This small economy is on a gold coin standard, i.e. gold coins circulate as cash. In order to see how the real price of gold (measured in Ferrari sports cars) depends on the creation of credit, we consider the following scenarios.

The book Currency Wars by James G. Rickards (Penguin, 2011) quickly became a bestseller not only in goldbug circles. One of the main theses presented by Rickards is that the United States ought to return to a Gold Standard.
Have you ever wondered whether this would be possible? The answer is No. But why not? The reason we give might strike you as rather unexpected, but it leads you right into the question of what will be the future international monetary system. The answer is that it is the existence of the Euro that prevents the United States from returning to a gold standard.
The Euro zone is set up in such a way that it values gold at its free market price. Since the Euro zone is a major global trade hub, they are in fact in a strong position to block any attempt by the United States at returning to a gold standard. They can rather force the US to value gold at its free market price, too. Any attempt at linking the US dollar to a fixed weight of gold is futile in the long run because this would eventually lead to an under-valuation of gold in US$ and thereby irreversibly drain gold reserves from the United States. In the present article, we explain these ideas in greater detail.

We know the price of an ounce of gold. Last week, on 3 February 2012, the price of gold was US$ 1734.00 per ounce (London pm fixing). So much about the price. But what is its value?

Silver inventory at the New York Commodity Exchange (COMEX) is declining. Since the beginning of 2011, in addition to the overall decline, a lot of inventory has been shifted from the registered to the eligible category.
For much of 2011, the COMEX silver futures market has been in backwardation. Similarly, the London OTC silver forward market is in backwardation as reported by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Figure 1 shows the Silver Forward Offered Rate (SIFO) from November 22, 2010, to May 19, 2011.
We see from Figure 1 that the contango of the LBMA silver forward market collapsed on January 19, 2011, and silver has been in backwardation ever since – with the exception of about 4-5 weeks in March and April. For more background, please take a look at Backwardation in The Case of a Monetary Metal.
In this article, I briefly explain why it is perfectly natural if
as long as silver is in backwardation. None of these indicates that there is a shortage of physical silver or that there is a short speculator about to default.

In the comment section at FOFOA's blog (see the messages by DP and Jeff), we had a discussion about whether you can create synthetic supply, i.e. a form of paper gold, using the futures markets such as the New York Commodities Exchange (COMEX).
In the following, I explain why I think the answer is no.

1 (15 ounce) can
pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon
pumpkin pie spice
2 cups
white sugar
2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
baking powder
1 tablespoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
1 cup
vegetable oil
4 1/2 ounces
cream cheese, softened
9 tablespoons
butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
3 cups
confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
this recipe is similar to one I got out of a better homes and garden cook book except the seasoning. there should only be 2 tsp of baking soda and powder. Not tbsp. I also cheated and used a can of cream cheese frosting and It was great. The spices really added something to this receipe.
The taste of Baking Powder & Soda was over the top. Terrible. There is a much better recipe with only a teaspoon of it--where this recipe calls for a tabelspoon.
48 Ratings
I love these bars. I decided to use 1 c. white sugar and 1 c. brown sugar instead of the 2 c. white sugar in the recipe. It turned out great. I like the depth of flavor the brown sugar added to it. Thank you Amy.
This recipe is tasty, and my 5 year old liked to help with the mixing. But it has a slightly chemical-like taste. I think it is from the large amounts of baking powder and baking soda the recipe calls for. I am going to try to use less next time and see how they turn out. Also, the bars are really very much more like cake. They were hard to pick up and eat with your hands when cut in squares. The frosting is really yummy too, but needed more milk. Overall, I would make them again with a few adjustments. Everyone in my family liked them.
I found this exact same recipe but it used teaspoons of baking powder and soda instead of tablespoons - wondering if the tablesppons are a typo?
The bars tasted great. I read the previous reviews and changed the baking powder and baking soda amounts to teaspoons instead of tablespoons. I baked the bars in a sheet cake pan and they came out very moist. Since I was out of vanilla, I added some orange extract to the icing recipe. The orange flavoring was the perfect touch!
Fantastic! Few changes: Used 1 c brown sugar and 1 c white. Used 1/2 c veg oil and 1/2 c evaporated milk. 1 1/2 tspn cinnamon, 1 tspn nutmeg, and 1 tspn ginger. Also, teaspoons on the baking soda and powder as well. I also made a gram cracker crust for the bottom just to add a little something special. They were so fluffy and moist! Rave reviews from friends and family! Definitely a keeper.
EVERYONE loves these bars, they've made me famous. People always ask me to make these or ask for the recipe on a regular basis. Even people that don't usually like pumpkin desserts, love these bars.
I do make quite a few changes though:
1) teaspoons of baking powder/soda, not Tablespoons as others have mentioned
2) I almost halve the sugar and no one notices. Plus I usually go 50/50 on white and brown
3) I substitute a cup of applesauce (no sugar added) for the oil
4) I like more cream cheese in my frosting so I usually do about 6oz cream cheese, 6Tbsp butter, and powdered sugar to taste which is probably 1.5 to 2 cups
My changes make it a little more dense of a cake but no one seems to notice and they are always a hit!

Gloucester Community College (N.J.) holds a slim half-point lead after two days of the 2012 NJCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championship at the Billie Jean King USTA National Tennis Center in New York. The Sewell, N.J. school collected 26 total points, while Fashion Institute of Technology (N.Y.) garnered 25.5. Broome Community College (N.Y.) fell back to third place after netting 25 total points. Ocean County College (N.J.) is still in the hunt with 24 team points.
Ironically, none of the team leaders will have a participant in the top flight of singles competition. In that flight, Brookdale CC's Farrah Smoke will face Rock Valley's Nicole Beck. Both competed in last year's tournament. All other flight championships involve the four teams vying for the team title.
Action concludes Friday with singles beginning at 9am EDT. Doubles competition will begin shortly thereafter.

Creative Craft Rooms
My love for DIY goes way back to my days as an eight year old, sitting for hours at a rescued kitchen table in our creepy basement, singing along to the Backstreet Boys and making piles of junk from more piles of junk. My mother believed in using one's imagination and wasn't the type to stock our playroom with all Michaels had to offer — maybe because we didn't have a playroom — and that was just fine by me. I was happy as pie rummaging through old boxes, scouting the backyard for interesting pieces of nature and tearing up our outgrown dresses — anything that could keep me at that craft table longer.
Naturally, now that crafting has become part of my grown-up world, I have my heart set on a well-stocked, well-organized craft room. I'm keeping a few things in mind as the next few months of house hunting unfold.
Here are a few layouts I'm pinning as inspiration:
Here are some tips for creating your own well-organized craft room:
If space permits, set up a table in the centre of your craft room so that you have access to all sides. This makes it easy to work around your project.
This birch kitchen table from Ikea would be perfect, but lacks extra storage space. Easy fix — line the bottom with baskets or totes.
These galvanized shelves, also from Ikea, are affordable and durable — perfect if you're working with messy goods.
Floor-to-ceiling cubbies are great for storing supplies we don't use as often.
Use cabinets for a tidier look.
Add a vintage touch with salvaged storage found at your local thrift shop. There really is an endless supply out there just waiting to be put back to good use.
You'll want to keep pretty packaging materials away from paint, glue and glitter, so if you can afford the space, opt for an independent gift wrapping station.
Small pails are great for various loose bits.
Pegboards are also a fantastic way to display your supplies. If you're like me, you'll want to keep your craft room looking pretty, so feel free to coat your pegboard in a favourite hue.

- Mazda's Rotary-Powered Sports Car in MAZDASPEED Form -
LAS VEGAS - A rotary-powered RX-8 sneaks into the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in new skin- MAZDASPEED skin. The silver, Japan-specification car crossed the ocean just in time for the aftermarket auto show this week in Las Vegas.
"RX-8 is the ultimate performance car, and with the launch of a new line of MAZDASPEED -branded components, customers can build their own ultimate RX-8," said Robert Davis, senior vice president of marketing and product development of Mazda North American Operations. "We created this MAZDASPEED RX-8 by exploring what is possible using a host of MAZDASPEED dealer-available parts and accessories."
At first glimpse, there is no doubt this is an RX-8 sports car, but a host of exterior modifications create an even more aggressive-somewhat feline-appearance. In front, an extended air intake and a low-projecting lip spoiler yield improved cooling and optimum lift balance, respectively. Low-slung silhouette side skirts, aerodynamic side view mirrors and carbon-finished B-pillar garnishes cut air resistance and carry the sleek look rearward. An adjustable rear wing and rear under-spoiler create downforce in the tail.
Gun Metallic, 18-inch aluminum wheels cover MAZDASPEED -badged brake calipers fitted with brake pads engineered for high fade resistance. Enhanced shock absorbers ensure ride comfort, and sporty springs drop the ride height 20mm for a lower center of gravity and increased spring rate, together generating cat-like reflexes and handling. Larger-diameter front and rear stabilizer bars reduce body roll, while front and rear strut tower braces increase body rigidity.
Inside the cockpit, a Sport Meterlink System houses oil pressure, oil temperature and water temperature gauges. Carbon-finished inner door handles, door switch panels and rearview mirror cover keep continuity with the aggressive exterior. Highly ergonomic MAZDASPEED sport seats, available in black, red or blue, act in conjunction with special kneepads affixed to the door panels, keeping driver and passenger firmly in place during performance driving.
Mazda North American Operations is responsible for the sales and marketing, customer parts and service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States. Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., MNAO has more than 700 dealerships nationwide.

Periyar is a protected area, and a nature reserve in the South Indian State of Kerala, set high in the mountains of the Western Ghats at the border to Tamil Nadu. It lies in the districts of Idukki and Pathanamthitta. The protected area covers an area of 777 km², out of which a 350 km² part of the core zone was made into the Periyar National Park and Tiger Reserve, sometimes dubbed the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Before the core area was made into a National Park it was wildlife sanctury. Periyar is home to one of Indias largest Tiger populations. There are also gaur (Indian Bison) and wild boar. Please note you will be need to be very lucky to see a Tiger. Periyar tiger Reserve, Thekkady, is an example of nature's bounty, with great scenic charm, rich bio diversity and providing veritable visitor satisfaction.
Sprawled over an area of 777 Sq .km., Periyar is one of the 27 tiger reserves in India.Zealously guarded and efficiently managed reserve is a repository of rare, endemic and endangered flora and fauna and forms the major watershed of two important rivers of Kerala, the Periyar and Pamba.People oriented and park centered community based ecotourism is the hallmark of Periyar Tiger Reserve. These programmes are conducted by local people responsible for the surveillance of the vulnerable parts of the reserve. By taking tourists along, they are involved in the conservation of the forests of Periyar and some valuable revenue is generated for community welfare. People who once made a living by illegal operations in the forests have since become forest protectors and earn their livelihood through these programmes. Hence, as a visitor, when you join them in any of these programmes, you are directly contributing towards forest conservation and community welfare.Eravikulam National Park is 97 sq. km. in extent, situated along the crest of the Western Ghats in the High Ranges of Idukki district of Kerala state, India.Eravikulam National Park harbours the largets surviving population of Nilgiri tahr (Hemitragus hylocrius). This endangerd animal is endemic to the southern Western Ghats. Its nearest relative is the Himalayan tahr. The fully grown male is known as "saddle back" is much bigger and darker than the female and has a silvery saddle like patch on its back. Mating takes place during monsoons and the birth season is January-February. The estimated population of tahr inside the park is about 700. Wild dog, leoperd and tiger are the main predators. Apart from tahr, other little known animals such as Nilgiri marten, small clawed otter, ruddy mongoose, and dusky striped squirrel are also found. Elephants make seasonal visits.About 120 species of birds have been recorded which include endemics like black and ornage flycatcher, Nilgiri pipit, Nilgiri wood pegeon, white bellied shortwing, Nilgiri verditer flycatcher and Kerala laughing thrush. Endemics confined to the shola-grass land ecosystem like the red disk bushbrown and Palni fourwing are among the 100 odd butterflies listed inside the park.The shola-grassland ecosystem is a strange admixture of temprature and tropical qualities due to the combined effects of altitude as well as latitude. It is exceptionally rich in orchids and balsams. The spectacular mass flowering of the shrub neelakurunji (Phlebophyllum kunthianum) takes place in the grasslands in cycles of the 12yrs. The next neelakurunji "outburst" is due in the year 2006.

Itinerary Details
Day 1 - Kochi to Periyar National Park
Our tour begins in Kochi from where we leave for Periyar National Park. The drive from Kochi to Periyar takes about 5 hours and passes through many villages and hamlets and is a great way to explore the countryside.
We stay Spice Village at the Hotel, in Periyar. After a delicious lunch, we visit the spice gardens for which the area is so well known for. Since ancient times, spices were traded like gold in India and you see why…the cardamom and the pepper grown here has some superb aroma! We return to the hotel at dusk and end the day with dinner.
Periyar is one of the Project Tiger Reserves of India. It is one of the most picturesque and beautiful wildlife reserves in the world. In addition to the Tiger, Periyar is also home to the Indian Elephant, Gaur, Sambar (Horse Deer), Barking Deer, Mouse Deer, Dhole (Indian Wild Dog), Fox, Leopard and elusive Nilgiri Tahr.
Day 2 - Periyar National Park
We begin our day with a ride into the forest on elephant backs. It is the best way to see the forest and the animals! We return to the lodge for breakfast. You get to relax for a while and in the afternoon we head out for a nature walk. As the sun sets and the dusk sets in, its time for us to return to the hotel, have dinner and call it a day.
- Meals : Breakfast Lunch & Dinner - Accommodation: Spice Village, Thekkady - Optional Activities: Bamboo Rafting, Border Hiking
Day 3 - Periyar National Park to Munnar
Start the day with a boat ride on the Periyar Lake. It is the best time to spot birds and do keep an eye out for the flamingos! After the boat ride, we return to the lodge for breakfast. Walking is the best way to explore the Park and you get to see some of the smaller animals, insects and monkeys when you are on foot.We do precisely this and walk in the forest till lunch time. After lunch, we leave for Munnar which is a 3 hour drive from Periyar.
Munnar is a beautiful town up in the hills, best known for the tea grown here. The tea has a delicate flavour of cardamom is can be used to brew the famous Indian "Chai"! Munnar also offers a splendid view of pristine valleys and mountains, exotic species of flora and fauna, and the aroma of cool, spice-scented air!
After checking into our hotel, you have the day to yourself…enjoy a stroll in the tea estates and a walk in the clouds!
Day 4 - Munnar to Eravikulam National Park
After breakfast, we leave for Eravikulam National Park. We carry picnic lunch with us. As vehicles are not allowed inside the park, we explore the area on foot. After a whole day at Eravikulam, we return to our hotel in the evening for dinner.
Eravikulam was established to protect the Nilgiri Tahr, an endangered species of mountain goat. It is the only mountain goat species found south of the Himalayas. Sure-footed herds of Tahr are quite elusive, but you may be able to get a good view of them as they browse the hillside vegetation.
Eravikulam is also home to a variety of mammals that include the Nilgiri Langur, Lion-tailed Macaque and several endemic bird species such as the streaky brown Nilgiri Pipit and Blackbird. The Blackbird in particular looks very different from the familiar songster of Europe and is regarded by some taxonomists as a possible separate species.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Environmental Quality's WoodBurn control program is designed to control wood smoke emission between November 1 and March 1.
On "Unrestricted Action" days, wood and coal burning stoves or fireplaces may be used.
On "Voluntary Action" days, residents are asked not to burn wood or coal, but the choice is voluntary.
On "Mandatory Action" days, wood and coal burning stoves must not be used.
Those who ignore the "Mandatory Action" forecast could be fined up to $300.
FOX 13's Todd Tanner went on a ridealong with the DEQ's Rik Ombach, who patrols neighborhoods in search of smoking chimneys. Watch the video above to see what happens.

Over in the thread named "Gst-Launch NavSeek Problem", reference was made� to gst-daemon.� See here:� https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/gstreamer_ti/forum/?_forum_action=ForumMessageBrowse&thread_id=4033&action=ForumBrowse&forum_id=187
A bit of reading tells me this is a RidgeRun project using the DDOMPRE branch.
I looked at the gstd webpage and find instructions for making a Ubuntu host build.� Are there cross compilation instructions for various boards (e.g. EVMs) and for non-RR Linux and GST builds?� Is it dependent on RR specific software?
Alternate question, can GST elements compiled using RR interact with GST compiled using TI's build?� In other words, If my build contains the TIVidenc, etc. elements, would a pipe find and run one of the dmai.... elements (assuming there are no major library compatability issues.� Any to note?)

Hi Wes,
GStreamer Daemon is completely independent of an TI or RidgeRun specific technology.� You should be able to use GStreamer Daemon anywhere you use gst-launch (and a whole lot more places too).� gst-lauch is designed mostly as a test tool, where GStreamer Daemon is intended to go into production devices.
Since GStreamer Daemon was developed initially for an OMAP-L138 based project, the documented examples are TI / RidgeRun specific.
You can find instructions for building and running GStreamer Daemon on a Ubuntu host at
You will see updates to GStreamer Daemon in the next month.� If GStreamer Daemon solves a real need, we hope to get gstd included with the other GStreamer tools, like gst-inspect and gst-launch.

Thanks for your reply.� I still have one problem, the instructions at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gstd/index.php?title=Building_GStreamer_Daemon#Ubuntu_host_PC are for building gstd FOR an ubuntu host, not to cross-compile on the host FOR the target board (TI EVM dm365 in my case).� At least that's how it reads.�
What I need is the download location/instructions for the various libs and dev packages compiled for the dm365 and the various variable setting for ./configure.
Many Thanks,
