Holy^&*# ! Charlie Brennan Wants to Water-board; Jane Mayer Says She'll Hook Him Up!
|Wikimedia Commons
|Will Charlie Brennan go to Vietnam to use one of these old-school water-boards for his torture session? Or will he find a local sponsor?
Brennan -- not a bad interrogator himself! -- promptly got pumped by the idea of hosting such a session and phoned Jane Mayer for some advice. Mayer is a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author of The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals. She was Brennan's first guest today on the show.
And the first thing she said? She knows a guy who's, uh, dying to show people how water-boarding works!
Mayer says the fellow is an instructor in the U.S. Air Force's SERE School, a military training program that teaches U.S. military how to survive tactics like water-boarding if captured by the enemy.
According to Mayer, this instructor wants people to know just how terrible and terrifying water-boarding can be.
Brennan sounded excited - as if gesturing for his producer to start lining up the potential boardees.
But Mayer said that the SERE instructor will only agree to do the deed overseas.
Stay tuned...

A Germantown man has died after a collision with a car threw him off his motorcycle on Great Seneca Highway Monday afternoon.
The collision took place at the intersection of Great Seneca Highway and Longdraft Road in Gaithersburg shortly before 2 p.m., said Officer Rebecca Innocenti, a Montgomery County police spokeswoman.
Michael George Balcom, of the 13200 block of Wonderland Way in Germantown, was traveling north towards the intersection when the driver of a BMW, traveling in the opposite direction, attempted to make a left turn in front of Balcom's motorcycle. Balcom, 24, was ejected from the motorcycle after colliding with the BMW's passenger door.
The car's driver, 67-year-old Toney William Moses of the 16900 block of Horn Point Drive in Gaithersburg, stayed on the scene, Innocenti said. An off-duty officer was the first to respond.
Balcom was rushed to Shady Grove Hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he later died. Montgomery County police are still investigating the cause of the accident, Innocenti said. No charges have been filed so far.
A portion of Great Seneca Highway was closed for the duration of the on-scene investigation Monday afternoon, the Gazette previously reported.

can't just make separate connections to the target for each recipient.The claim is that making separate connections is usually faster (fewer round-trip delays) because of how SMTP works. It does use more bandwidth but this is unlikely to be significant on most sites, most of the time.
These days however, when people send attachments megabytes in size (or viruses do it for them), I don't know whether that claim is still true.
1. I think it *is* unfair towards the receiving MX to send the same mail multiple times.
2. I think it is *negligible* for locally generated, private + cron mails.
3. not trying to aggregate mail delivery on one MX makes the code *SO MUCH EASIER*. seriously. think about what you need:
a. central coordination instance b. MX/A lookups for all domain parts of all mails c. choose one MX d. now find all mails which could potentially be sent there e. weed out rejects f. start over
point is, you can't say "hey, they have the same MXes", because different domains could share only one MX out of three, for example. you have to check for every MX connect which other mails could be delivered there. definitely not a necessary option for the first round.

The Gold Knight: 84th Academy Awards nominationsWritten by James A. Molnar | The Gold Knight | email@example.com
"And the nominees are…"
Tuesday morning, Jennifer Lawrence, Best Actress nominee last year for "Winter's Bone," joined Academy President Tom Sherak in announcing 10 of the 24 categories at a press conference at Academy headquarters in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Despite "The Artist" having the most considerable "buzz" going into the nominations, Martin Scorsese's 3-D adventure "Hugo" was the most nominated with 11, nominated for Best Picture, Director and Adapted Screenplay. Although, "The Artist" did not fare badly, with 10 nominations — and the silent film will probably win more Oscars than "Hugo." "Moneyball" and "War Horse" received six nominations, including Best Picture nods. The big surprise, to which there was a gasp at the press conferences, was "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," which was announced as the ninth Best Picture nominee.
Most Oscarologists did not think there would be that many nominees for the top prize, predicting anywhere between six and eight nominees. A rule change last summer implemented a voting system that can produce anywhere between five and 10 nominees in the Best Picture category.
Woody Allen received a directing nomination for "Midnight in Paris," his first since 1994′s "Bullets over Broadway." He has been nominated seven times in the category and won the Oscar for 1977′s "Annie Hall."
Demián Bechir ("A Better Life"), Jean Dujardin ("The Artist") and Gary Oldman ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy") are all first-time nominees, nominated in the Best Actor category.
Rooney Mara ("The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo") is the only Best Actress nominee that has not been nominated for an Oscar before. Meryl Streep, on the other hand, received her 14th nomination in the Best Actress category, for playing Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady." Streep, having a total 17 Oscar nominations in her career, has won two Oscars — a Supporting Actress Oscar for 1979′s "Kramer vs. Kramer" and a Actress Oscar 1982′s "Sophie's Choice."
Jonah Hill ("Moneyball") is the only first-time Oscar nominee in the Supporting Actor category. Meanwhile, Janet McTeer ("Albert Nobbs") is the only Supporting Actress nominee with a past Oscar nomination — for 1999′s "Tumbleweeds."

SU Celebrates Hindu Festival of Lights
Nov. 4, 2008
SELINSGROVE, (Pa.) – The seventh annual Diwali celebration will be held at Susquehanna University on Nov. 8. Commemorating the traditional Hindu "Festival of Lights," the event kicks off at 6 p.m. with a lecture and demonstration in Degenstein Center Theater followed by dinner at 7 p.m. in Evert Dining Room. Tickets are $20 for the general public and $12 for students. Tickets may be purchased at the university box office by calling 570-372-ARTS (2787).
The lecture and demonstration will feature Rachita Nambiar, a classical Indian dancer who will demonstrate Bharatnatyam with her daughter. Bharatnatyam is an artistic yoga and the most widely practiced of Indian classical dances in South India. A dance troupe from Bucknell will also perform several modern Indian dances.
The buffet meal is catered by Harrisburg-based Passage to India and will include several traditional Indian appetizers and main dishes with chicken, lamb and vegetables.
Diwali celebrates the upcoming New Year with a focus on the gods of wealth, strength and knowledge, as well as on the good in others. An abbreviated version of the word Deepavali, meaning "rows of lighted lamps," Diwali was traditionally a five-day festival beginning on the 15th day of Kartika in the Hindu calendar. Today, Diwali is often celebrated just one day but it remains one of the most important religious holidays in Hinduism – it means as much to Hindus as Christmas does to Christians.
During this time, homes are cleaned and decorated, windows are opened, candles and lamps are lit and fireworks are displayed to celebrate the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhaya, an ancient region of what is now northern India, after defeating Ravana in Lanka. It's a time of gift-giving and gathering for festive meals.
While there are many manifestations of the Diwali festival across the various regions of India and the Indian subcontinent, the celebration typically includes worship to Kali, the goddess of strength, and Laksmi, the goddess of wealth. It is also considered a time for believers to abolish laziness and evil, and to remove anger, hate and jealousy from their lives.

WASHINGTON, May 24, 2013 The nation's highest-ranking military officer told his audience today at the Crystal City Marriott here that as "The Star-Spangled Banner" plays across the United States this Memorial Day weekend, it will be uniquely their song.
"You're the ones that sacrificed so we can play that national anthem," he said.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his wife, Deanie Dempsey, spent time today with the estimated 2,200 participants gathered here this weekend for the annual Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, or TAPS, National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp. TAPS is an organization for families of service members who died in combat, by suicide, in training or from sudden illness.
"It must be something extraordinary for you to listen to the national anthem, because no one has had the experience of being handed a folded flag," the chairman said. "You have. And those of us who haven't experienced that don't know, really, what that -- I can't even conceive of what it must be like."
Dempsey told the adult audience he addressed today -- he also spoke separately to the children -- that he and his wife build their Memorial Day weekend calendar around the seminar "because I find you to be an incredibly inspirational group."
Hundreds of red-T-shirted men and women gathered in the hotel's ballroom to listen to the general. The red T-shirts are for TAPS members, but some also had "peer mentor" or "volunteer" written on the back. White T-shirts, for staff members, dotted the room. Outside, the TAPS children assembled for their own time with the chairman.
Each child was accompanied by a blue-T-shirted mentor. Mentors, according to TAPS guidelines, must be current service members or recent veterans and must have lost someone close to them.
The chairman said that while the sense of community in TAPS makes the seminar an event he and his wife look forward to, it's also a sad occasion.
"You're here because you've suffered some incredible sadness and loss in your life," the chairman said. He added that unfortunately, the organization is likely to continue growing "for a while."
"Just before I came over here I signed nine letters of condolence to nine families who are recent members of your community," he said. "And I hope that at some point, when they're ready, they'll join you."
People who have lost a loved one need to be able to talk to others who understand some of what they've been through, Dempsey said.
"And that's you," he said. "I appreciate the fact that you're willing to come here, not just to get something, but to give something. That's really what makes this such a powerful gathering of men and women -- and children, actually."
The five-day event began May 22 with training and preparation, and culminates this weekend with activities including camps for younger and older children and workshops on topics from art therapy to "turning hurt into hope," for adults. The seminar also includes a run/walk, balloon release, sunset parade, Pentagon tour, baseball game and other activities. TAPS staffers pair children one-on-one with a mentor -– 500 for this seminar -- who will stay with them throughout the events.
Amy Neiberger-Miller, who handles the organization's publicity, explained the organization often seeks to pair children with a service member or veteran who has completed the organization's mentor training and has a similar occupation to the child's lost parent.
"If a child's father was a helicopter pilot, then we can match them with a mentor who is also [one], who can tell them what it's like to fly," she said. "Many come back here year after year, from very far away, to be here and support these children."
Dempsey left the ballroom full of adults, and soon after he went next door to another ballroom, where children of all ages and their mentors sat on the carpeted floor waiting for him. Among those still entering the room before the general arrived, much piggybacking and tickling could be observed.
Army Sgt. James Cunningham, now in the individual ready reserve and about to leave service, sat next to a 7- or 8-year-old boy he introduced as "Ro-ro." The two whispered and laughed and looked at a smartphone screen together while waiting for the chairman.
When Ro-ro wasn't paying attention, Cunningham quietly confided that while in the active Army, he had lost a friend to suicide, and later another to a suicide bomber.
"It goes on and on, unfortunately," he said.
The chairman sang "The Unicorn Song" at the top of the program for the younger children, and a version of Train's "[Not a] Drive By" for the older ones. Dempsey's version of the chorus to "Drive By" included:
"Oh I swear to you
We'll be there for you
This is not a drive-by
Just between us, nothing comes between us …"
Several of the children took part in a question-and-answer period. Many chose to tell the chairman about the parent they had lost, mostly in Afghanistan.
One boy said, "He was at war once in Afghanistan. He really liked to play games with me and my brother … then he had to go back to Afghanistan, and he died. I don't know how he died."
Dempsey left the children laughing, ready to keep singing. Minutes earlier, before he left the adult session, he had a final message for everyone in a red T-shirt.
The chairman said, "I promise you that despite all the complexities of life in Washington these days, and all the uncertainty about the future of our budget, and all the things that make headlines and make for good 24/7 news, that we will remember what's most important about our nation. And that is the care for soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, our veterans, and those who have lost their life in the service of our country and their families."

text: Plitvice Lakes are a national park in Croatia, situated in the Plitvice Lakes municipality, near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The lakes are situated on the eponymous Plitvice plateau, between mountains and are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colours change constantly depending on the quantity of mineral ...s or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight. The lakes are divided into the 12 Upper Lakes and four Lower Lakes. The Plitvice Lakes national park is heavily forested, mainly with beech, spruce, and fir trees, and features a mixture of Alpine and Mediterranean vegetation. It has a notably wide variety of plant communities, due to its range of microclimates, differing soils and varying levels of altitude. The area is also home to an extremely wide variety of animal and bird species. Rare fauna such as the European brown bear, wolf, eagle, owl, lynx, wild cat and capercaillie can be found there, along with many more common species. The Plitvice Lakes had become a major tourist attraction in the late 19th century. The first hotel was built there in 1896 and today is one of Croatia's biggest tourist attractions.Show More

Should have read the not-so-fine print: "OWC Note:
Use of a previously formatted drive inside the HDST Touro Desk Pro will require the drive to be reformatted. Also, moving a hard drive from the HDST Touro Desk Pro to another enclosure or machine will require the drive to be reformatted. Please back up your data accordingly before doing so."
I bought four of these and popped a 2TB WD drive in one (already formatted and 3/4 full). Computer asks me to initialize it when I connect it. Yay.

Wilson Manifolds now offers flanged high-performance single-bore throttle bodies for forced induction EFI engines. The flanged mouth is counter-bored to accept a machined aluminum mating ring. The other end of the mating ring will accept a 4-inch O.D. alloy tube, which can be welded to the mating ring. The setup allows for no steps, clips or restrictions throughout the whole system. Wilson's high-flow throttle bodies were developed from scratch using state-of-the-art modeling software to produce designs that yield maximum flow per square inch of cross-sectional area. All Wilson throttle bodies are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum using precision CNC machines for consistent quality and decreased weight. Features include brass throttle blades to control vibration and reduce thermal expansion, and shot-peened throttle shafts specially machined to decrease cross-sectional area for improved airflow.

How to Buy Gold
Five Methods:Buying Scrap GoldBuying Gold BullionBuying Gold FuturesBuying Gold Exchange Traded FundsAbout Investing in Gold
Stockpiling gold has been a favorite investment of the wealthy throughout history, and gold remains the most popular investment of all the precious metals.
Gold is fungible, portable, and accepted anywhere in the world. This article outlines four ways to invest in gold. The best choice varies from person to person and depends on the amount of money you have to invest, your investment objectives, the amount of risk you can absorb, and the length of time you intend to hold on to your gold.
Method 1 of 5: Buying Scrap Gold
1Manage your risk. Collecting and storing scrap gold has become a popular investment strategy. With gold prices steadily rising, buying scrap gold is a low-risk way to invest in this valuable resource.
- Term (duration) of Investment: Varies
- Nature of Investment: Low risk - Gold is the safest investment option available and the potential reward far outweighs the minor risk.
- Profile of Investor: Ideal for the first-time gold investor, or for someone just looking to set something aside for a rainy day.
2Keep it in the family. Ask family and friends if they have gold they are looking to get rid of. Practically everyone has broken necklaces, damaged rings, mismatched earrings and other forms of scrap gold that they would love to turn into cash. Work out a price they are happy with, while leaving plenty of room for profit.
3Place an ad in the newspaper. Have an ad run in both the classified section and the help wanted section of your local paper. Most people who are looking at the help wanted ads are in financial distress of some sort, so placing an ad offering to help them make money by selling gold to you can work wonders.
4Place an ad on Craigslist. This is similar to a newspaper ad, yet is entirely free and has the potential to reach more people.
5Monitor Internet auctions. Gold items will often sell for less than their scrap value, making them a great investment tool. Be sure to factor in any taxes or shipping costs before bidding.
6Develop relationships with local pawnshops. Leave your contact information with them and have them contact you if anyone comes in to sell gold items that the pawnshop doesn't want. Some smaller shops may not have a refiner or even want to deal with scrap gold.Ad
Method 2 of 5: Buying Gold Bullion
1Buy gold bullion. Countries around the world, including the United States, continue to spend money they don't have, creating unstable economies. Gold bullion is the only true hedge against the instability.
- Term of Investment: Long term - Even if the economy picks up, inflation will follow close behind. Which asset resists inflation? Gold.
- Nature of Investment: Low risk - Experts agree that the investment pyramid is built on gold bullion.
- Profile of Investor: Perfect for a new investor.
2Decide what type of investment-grade gold bullion you want to buy. You have the choice between gold coins, gold bars, and gold jewelry.
Gold coins: Historic (pre-1933) gold coins tend to retain the most value, as these have numismatic value in addition to their gold content.
- Examples of historic gold coins that do not sell at an excessive premium over the gold price because they only contain 90 percent gold are the British sovereign, British guinea, Spanish escudo, French 20 and 40 francs, Swiss 20 francs; and American gold Eagles ($10 face value), Half-Eagles ($5 face value) and Double Eagles ($20 face value).
- The British sovereign and the American Eagle Gold Coin are notable exceptions with 91.66 percent gold content, or 22 Karat. Other gold bullion coins include the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Australian Kangaroo, the South African Krugerrand (which sparked the entire gold coin investment industry)[1] and the 24 Karat Austrian Philharmonic.
- Gold bars: Gold is also sold in bars that are usually 99.5 to 99.99 percent fine. Popular gold refineries include PAMP, Credit Suisse, Johnson Matthey, and Metalor. You'll see the names of these refineries stamped on the bars they process.
- Gold jewelry: The problem with buying gold jewelry as an investment is that you pay a premium for the craftsmanship and the desirability of the design. Any piece of jewelry marked 14 karat or less will be below investment quality and any resale for the sake of investing will be impacted by the need to refine the gold. On the other hand, it is possible to pick up antique or vintage gold for very little at estate sales and similar auctions if the worth is not realized, or if people simply don't bid much for it. Older pieces carry more value due to their unique craftsmanship, so this can be a lucrative and enjoyable way to collect gold.[2]
- Gold coins: Historic (pre-1933) gold coins tend to retain the most value, as these have numismatic value in addition to their gold content.
3Choose a weight to buy. Clearly, the greater the weight, the greater its price will be. Something else to keep in mind is your ability to safely store it.
- The American Eagle Gold Coin and the other coins listed above are made in four weights: 1 oz., 0.5 oz., 0.25 oz. and 0.10 oz.
- Gold bullion bars are generally sold by the ounce and include 1 oz.,- 10 oz.- and 100 oz.-bars.
4Find a source that sells gold bullion. Often, the same dealers, brokerage houses and banks sell both coins and bars. When assessing the dealer, see how long they've been in business, whether they're certified with an industry or government body, and in what investment activities they specialize. In the United States, the U.S. Mint provides a list of authorized sellers that you can check.[3]
- See Buy Gold Online for details on how to invest in gold through online marketplaces.
- Jewelers sell gold jewelry, but if you decide to go this route, be sure to choose a reputable store that has been in business for a long time.
- Auctions can be another source of gold jewelry, but be aware that auction items are sold "as is" and it's up to you to ascertain their value.
5Determine the current market price for gold. After finding the price, verify it with at least one other reputable source, and preferably several other reputable sources.
6Aim to buy gold coins or bars at or below the prevailing market price, plus a premium of approximately 1 percent. Most dealers have purchase minimums, charge for shipping and handling, and offer quantity discounts.
- Get receipts for all purchases and get a confirmation of delivery date before you pay for the gold bullion.
- If purchasing jewelry, retain all receipts in a safe place. If purchasing at an auction, remember to add on buyer premium and any sales taxes.
7Store your gold bullion securely, preferably in a safe deposit box. This is a very important aspect of investing in gold bullion because your investment strategy is only as safe as your storage strategy. Invest in high-quality security mechanisms or pay a company to store it for you.[4]Ad
Method 3 of 5: Buying Gold Futures
1Think ahead. Those willing to absorb a bit more risk decide to invest with gold futures. However, it is important to note that it isn't so much "investing" as it is speculating, which equates to gambling in some respects.
- Term of Investment: Varies - In general, investing in gold future is like making a short-term prediction of what you think the price of gold will be in the near future. However, many savvy investors invest and re-invest in gold futures for many years.
- Nature of investment: High risk - There is high volatility associated with gold futures and many inexperienced investors will lose money on them.
- Profile of Investor: This is primarily for a seasoned and experienced investor; very few novice investors will make money in gold futures.
3Invest capital that you can afford to lose. If the price of gold drops, you could end up owing more than you invested once commissions are added.
4Buy a gold futures contract. Gold futures are legally binding agreements for delivery of gold in the future at an agreed upon price. For example, you can buy 100 oz. of gold for a 2-year contract worth $46,600 for as little as 3 percent of the value, or $1,350.
- The commodity trading firm charges a commission for every trade.
- Each trading unit on the COMEX (Commodity Exchange) is equivalent to 100 troy ounces.
- Electronic trading on the Chicago Board of Trade (e-CBOT) is another way to trade gold.
5Wait for the contract to end. Then you can collect your earnings or pay your losses. An investor can exchange a futures position for physical gold, referred to as EFP (Exchange for Physical). However, most investors offset their positions before their contracts mature instead of accepting or delivering physical gold.
- When you buy a futures contract for a fraction of the cost of the amount of property involved, you are basically betting on a small change in the price of the property. You can make a lot of money buying gold futures if the value of gold goes way up relative to your currency, but if it goes down, you can lose everything you invested and possibly more (if your futures contracts do not simply get sold to someone else when you do not have enough money down). This is a way to hedge a risk or speculate, but not in itself a way to build savings.
Method 4 of 5: Buying Gold Exchange Traded Funds
1Use ETFs. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) aim to track silver and gold prices and are generally bought through a typical stockbroker. They are much like derivative contracts that track prices, but they differ in that you will not own the underlying gold assets if you invest in this vehicle.
- Two types of ETF are Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners.
- Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF: Attempts to replicate (before expenses and fees) the yield performance and price of the New York Stock Exchange Arca Gold Miners Index. The portfolio contains gold mining companies of all sizes around the world.
- Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF: Debuting in 2009, this ETF has become highly popular among investors seeking to have indirect access to gold assets. Although similar to the Gold Miners, the Junior Gold Miners ETF focuses on smaller companies that are involved in an ongoing search for new sources of gold. Because these companies are less established, there is more risk involved.
- Term of Investment: Short term - There is a fee charged each year that deducts from the amount of gold backing your investment, making this an unattractive way to invest in gold.
- Nature of Investment: Medium risk - Because a typical ETF investment is for the short term, risk can be minimized.
- Profile of Investor: Primarily for hedge funds, day traders, and other experienced and seasoned investors.
- Two types of ETF are Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners.
2Use a broker. Use the same broker you would use to buy a stock or mutual fund to buy shares in a gold exchange traded fund, such as GLD and IAU on the New York Stock Exchange. A gold exchange traded fund is designed to track the price of gold, while maintaining the liquidity of a stock.
- Note that gold exchange traded funds do not give you the ability to physically control the gold. Therefore, some gold advocates believe this is an inferior way to own the commodity.[5]
- Another disadvantage is that ETFs trade like stocks and you may have to pay a commission to buy and sell on the exchange. Moreover, any capital gains you realize must be reported and you will have to pay taxes on them.
Method 5 of 5: About Investing in Gold
1Decide why you're interested in investing in gold. If you have funds to invest, it's important to understand why people invest in gold in the first place, so that you can make sure it's the right thing for you. Understand that gold mainly serves as a store of value and as an investment hedge. Common reasons for investing in gold include:
- Gold is always in high demand. It is a tangible product that can always be passed on without concerns for its desirability in the future. Contrast this durability with antiques and collectibles, which are subject to fluctuations in fashion and style trends.
- Owning gold can protect you from a decline in currencies or from inflation. Countries often start investing in gold when economic growth starts to decline; the more debt-laden an economy, the higher the price of gold will climb.
- Gold can be another "string to your bow" when you seek to diversify your investment portfolio. Diversification is considered to be the best reason to own gold, according to financial experts.This ensures sound financial management, and not putting all your investment eggs into one basket.
- Gold is a sound means for protecting wealth over a long period of time (provided you store it securely).
- During a period of civil instability, gold is a way to protect assets, it is portable, easy to hide, and can give you something to hang on to when everything else is lost.

- The word "carat" refers to mass, while "karat" refers to gold purity.
- If you store your gold in your house, invest in a decent safe and then practice good "safe hygiene," e.g. bolt it to the floor out of sight of windows, don't leave the combination on a Post-It note on the side of the safe, etc. A reasonably large, fire-resistant safe will cost less than an ounce of gold ($1694 / ounce as of 5 September 2012), and can also be used to store important documents like passports, Social Security cards, etc.
- Don't pay too much for gold. Remember that historically the price for gold has usually been around $400 an ounce, adjusted for inflation (see the 650-year gold price chart here: http://www.sharelynx.com/chartsfixed/600yeargold.gif), but during a bad economy or uncertainties it tends to go up, resulting in a bubble. As the economy improves, the price of gold will revert to pre-bubble price range.
- Since the gold price tend to be dramatically cyclical, subject to many factors involving its demand and supply, it can be quite difficult to value gold in an environment of constantly depreciating paper currencies. One way to value gold is relative to the price of stocks, which tend to be easier to value (e.g. tangible book value, earning power, dividend). Take a look at the Dow/gold ratio from 1885 - 1995: http://www.sharelynx.com/chartsfixed/115yeardowgoldratio.gif. The Dow/gold ratio is the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("the Dow") relative to the gold price per ounce, or how many ounces of gold the Dow can buy. A high Dow/gold ratio means stocks are overpriced and gold is cheap, while a low Dow/gold ratio means gold is overpriced and stocks are cheap. A quick look at the chart and its relentless upward slope yields the immediate conclusion that stocks will buy more and more gold over the long term (e.g. an investor's lifetime), i.e. stocks are a much better long-term investment than gold. However, there have been long periods where gold outperform stocks, such as between 1929-1942 and between 1968-1980. Those who bought at stock market high in 1929, when the Dow/gold ratio was near 20, are still not back to even today relative to gold (2011) where the Dow/gold ratio is about 8. On the other hand, investors who were scared out of stocks and bought gold at the peak of the gold bubble in 1980, when the Dow/gold ratio was close to 1, would have missed the opportunity of a lifetime to multiply their money by at least 8 times relative to gold, as the Dow/gold ratio is around 8 today (2011). To prevent such mishaps, it is helpful to look at the Dow/gold ratio: buying stocks and selling gold when the current Dow/gold ratio is significantly below the historic trend-line (which averages about 20 today, and increasing), and selling stocks and buying gold when the current Dow/gold ratio is significantly above the historic trend-line.
- Collecting gold antiquities can be profitable based on their historical value; however, this could be mired in issues of legality, including the need to seek permits, etc. Black market purchasing of such items is not only illegal but immoral; most countries consider antiquities to be items for all of humanity, not just for a select few.
- Buying bullion is limited to weekdays during trading hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
- The United States Mint website offers a database of coin dealers listed by state.
- The commission rate on gold futures trading is negotiable.
- Keep an eye on U.S. Mint consumer alerts for scams and other shady dealings.[6]
- Make sure you can tell if the gold is real to avoid wasting your money on fake gold.
- Don't tell people you're investing in gold. Doing so potentially gives away that you're storing it in your house, or somewhere equally vulnerable. Only tell people who really need to know, such as a spouse, heirs in a will, etc.
- Gold is expensive, and storing large amounts does bring certain security concerns with it.
- As with any investment, be prepared to possibly lose money. The worth of commodities such as gold will fluctuate over time and seeing the value of your investment decrease is a real possibility. Consult a financial adviser prior to investing in anything if you're unfamiliar with the methods and risks of investing your money.
- You will pay a premium for "collectible" coins. You can think of the worth of collectible coins as having two separate parts: the value of the bullion, and the collectibility value. There is no guarantee these will go in the same direction. If the value of a coin you are considering comes mostly from its collectibility, consider whether you wish to invest in gold, or in collectibles.
- Never pay significantly more than market price for gold bullion. (Typically, more than 12 percent premium above the spot gold price is too much.)
- Gold does not appreciate or generate a return of its own accord (e.g. pay a dividend, or otherwise generate income as a stock or bond can) other than through changes to the price per ounce. Holding on to gold does mean you're practicing saving for the future, but you still need to be sure you're practicing good money management at all times.[7]

I obviously wanted to look nice for our anniversary, but I'm having such a hard time dressing for this weather. It seems too far into Spring to wear tights, but it sure feels early to have bare legs! Oh well, I went for it and rocked a skirt sans tights.
I tried to imitate the hair that Marlee did last week.

He's served as WTAW's sports director for 19 years, and Monday morning, Tom Turbiville announced his retirement on air.
Besides hosting morning and afternoon sports shows on Bryan Broadcasting, Turbiville also hosts Bravo Brazos Valley.
Turbiville interviews area veterans for Voices of Veterans' on KBTX and anchors a similar program on KAMU called "Veterans of the Valley."
In addition, Turbiville's passion for sports has placed him on the sidelines of Texas A&M football as a reporter.
Though his on-air career has been rewarding, Turbiville's ready to enter the next phase of his life.
"I'm about to turn 64 years old, and it's time to sort of move on to the next chapter," Turbiville said, "and that next chapter involves family. It involves five grandkids that, for the last eight or nine years, we had to hear about there sporting events dance recitals over the telephone."
Turbiville's last day on air before moving to Nebraska is August 17.

Lee Pringle, president and founder of the CSO Spiritual Ensemble, announced the appointment of Maestro Marlon Daniel as the 2013 Colour of Music Festival guest music director for the upcoming Colour of Music Festival. The festival will be the first-ever all-black professional classical musicians festival featuring black musicians, vocalists and orchestra leaders performing piano, organ, and voice recitals, chamber ensembles and orchestra on Oct. 23-27. There will also be a newly formed Colour of Music Chorale that will take place through downtown Charleston. This five-day festival will present 20 performances showcasing the breadth and influence of black artists and musicians on the classical music world.
Maestro Marlon Daniel has been described as "…the future of classical music on stage," (Time Out), "…one of the youngest and most prominent pianists/conductors in New York today," (Le Figaro-France Amérique) and his artistry has been hailed as "fabulous and exceptional" (Pravda–Moscow).
"I am absolutely delighted to have been selected to be the inaugural music director and guest conductor for this groundbreaking festival and am thrilled and honored to help carry forward the legacy of Saint-Georges, William Grant Still and others whose compositions and talents are not household names in the U.S.," Daniel says.
"This festival's mission is to highlight the contributions black composers and classically trained black musicians have contributed to the cultural fiber of the United States and the world. Maestro Daniel and the talented musicians converging on Charleston no doubt will inspire young black students to further their musical pursuits," says, Lee Pringle, producer of the week-long event.
One of the most dynamic conductors of his generation, Marlon Daniel is winner of the 2009 John and Mary Virginia Foncannon Conducting Award and has performed in some of the most prestigious venues in Europe and the United States including New York's Carnegie Hall and Prague's Rudolfinum.
He has received numerous prizes and awards including the Mabel Henderson Memorial Grant for Foreign Experience, a Rose Hanus Fellowship, an Honorary Key to the City of Chicago for Outstanding Musical Achievement and the 2008 Voice of the Artist Award from the United Nations in recognition of his charitable work to bring awareness to the crisis in Darfur. Most recently he received the 2010 Dove Award from the Global Association of Women for the Arts for Outstanding Musical Achievement.
Currently Maestro Daniel is music director of the Ensemble du Monde, principal guest conductor of the Sofia Sinfonietta. Last February 2013, he was resident conductor of the Nassau Music Society's Festival of Afro-Caribbean Composers sponsored by Atlantis Resort, French Alliance, Société Générale and the Embassy of the United States.
Educated in both the United States and Europe, he has earned degrees from the Manhattan School of Music (U.S), Le Conservatoire Américain (France), Centro de Estudios Musicales Isaac Albéniz (Spain) and both the Prague Academy and Conservatory, where he received formative training in conducting while serving as Associate Conductor of the Praga Sinfonietta.

Logan from Storefront Customer Service takes a look at the Zhik ZKG Shoe.
The ZKG is a truly "amphibious" shoe by Zhik. Purpose built for sailing, the aerated-neoprene wears comfortably both wet and dry. Neoprene construction also means the shoe hugs to your foot without being laced up.
Any sailor from Optis to keelboats will enjoy a pair of ZKGs. They combine the classic look of "Chuck Taylors" with new-age materials to keep you blister free on a wet ride. So kids at camp that go between swimming and sailing or big boat hikers who hate how crashing waves leave their sneakers soggy, look no further.
The shoe offers superior traction due to the gummy rubber sole and aggressive tread pattern. The non-rigid bottom also helps contour to the deck or un-level surfaces. "Gum doesn't stick to this shoe, this shoe sticks to gum!"
From personally sailing in a pair, I think that it wears and flexes just like a dinghy boot, minus the extra material and height. My normal street shoe is a size 10.5, so without socks, a size 10 fits comfortably and gives a little for wide feet. The ZKG is reasonable priced and comes in a variety of colors.

The Schwerpunkt Website
Fast Company Magazine has published an article titled: The Strategy of the Fighter Pilot. The article covers the background of Colonel John Boyd and his strategy as a fighter pilot, and provides some nice examples of the OODA (observe-orient-decide-act) loop in action. The article is well worth reading as it outlines Boyd's OODA strategy widely adapted in the business world to win and outmaneuver the competition.
According to Boyd, competitive decision-making occurs in a recurring cycle of observing and reacting to unfolding events more rapidly than an opponent, thus allowing for the competitor to gain the major advantage of getting "inside" the opponent's decision making cycle.
Boyd emphasized that "the loop" is actually a set of interacting loops that are to be kept in continuous operation during combat. The loop does not have to take place in any strict order, but instead act as an interactive web with orientation at its core. In this context, "Orientation" can be defined as how a person interprets a situation, based on individual experience, culture, and heritage. Orientation not only directly guides decision making, but also shapes observation and action. In the business world, orientation is parallel to organizational focus, the definition of which can be defined as Schwerpunkt. Shwerpunkt is a German word that, loosely translated, means organizational focus.
Here at iBCS, we especially like the notion of schwerpunkt.
Boyd believes that at Toyota, their systems work because of schwerpunkt. Boyd wrote, "(Schwerpunkt) represents a unifying medium that provides a directed way to tie the initiative of many subordinate actions with superior intent as a basis to diminish friction and compress time." That is, employees make decisions and act locally, but they are guided by a keen understanding of the bigger picture.
At iBCS, we strive to create and maintain strength in the cohesion of our members. This is done by discovering and understanding the bonds linking us to our customers, and our consumers to their consumers, giving us a state of "High Agreement". This process reinforces the strength of the group as a whole. We combine Boyd's "schwerpunkt" to our concept of "High Agreement" allowing us together, to implement the process as well as actualize the greatest objective.
If we are to apply the same organizational principles to web content and development as would a fighter pilot or a successful auto manufacturer, schwerpunkt becomes the axis from whence the organization shapes and develops the ability and commitment to effectuate the ultimate intent at all levels. Achieving a polished product from the first page.
Used in web development:
- Schwerpunkt can be thought of as a focusing agent that produces a distribution of clear, concise content on a basis to support the original mission and message of the site (company).
- Schwerpunkt takes the superior mission content without impeding the initiative of the subordinate page messages and through which the subordinate initiative is implicitly connected to the home page mission.
- The schwerpunkt home page provides a unifying medium that allows a directed way to tie initiative of many subordinate and supporting messages as a basis to diminish confusion and compress time in order to generate a favorable shape of the information exchange and transfer to the viewer. In other words, I see it, I read it, and I get it.
- Ideally, a schwerpunkt website will separate yourself from the competition and allow for future SEO tactics to further that separation
How to get Schwerpunkt
As we work with clients to build and develop their business on the Internet we find more and more that it is a good time to discuss and work on organizational focus. Most companies agree that they need a website. Unfortunately without considerable effort the website will not communicate its message clearly and succinctly. We are too easily tempted by cool ideas or technology, quickly adding social networking features for example without ever clearly defining the focus of the site in the first place. Unfortunately this could be a reflection of a company's failings to focus on it's purpose or core competencies in the first place.
We believe that running a site or page through the following exercise will help make the site or an individual page schwerpunkt:
- What is the purpose of the website or web page?
Example: "Lets write a Schwerpunkt article for our website"
"Because we tend to spend a lot of time trying to explain the concept to our clients and it would save us time and help them perhaps have better websites and companies"
Purpose: To educate or to give us a document to refer to when explaining this concept. So our customers can have better companies and be more focused.
- Who is the intended audience?
"Who is going to read this page if we create it?"
"Clients that we have this dialog with we can send them a link and they can refer to the page"
Audience: Existing or new clients
- What is the main message that the site or page is trying to convey?
Often these can be expressed using keywords:
Focus, Focused Web Pages, Focused Web Site, if the website doesn't appear clear or focused maybe the company needs to do some work on organizational focus.
Message: Some work is required to have a Schwerpunkt company, Site, Page
- What is the call to action or the desired behavior (to buy something, to give an e-mail address to subscribe, etc..)
Action: "For us and our clients to focus more on the sites and pages they create to make them more effective"
- Do the loop - How can we know if it is working?
Measure results, reorient, get feedback, revisit the plan of action periodically
- What is the purpose of the website or web page?
IBCScorps commitment to helping our clients get Schwerpunkt:
Though we would like to feel that writing this article would cause us and our clients to be Schwerpunkt, the reality is that a process needs to be put in place to make this happen. The OODA (observe-orient-decide-act) loop is a process for becoming Schwerpunkt, but how do we apply it in our businesses? Here are few things all of us have tried:
Those all work more or less with some degree of efficiency, however, working in the technology industry we believe a better mouse trap is in order. We have sophisticated accounting and ERP systems to help us manage money and business transactions, we have CMS systems to help us manage content. However most CMS Systems on the market today do not enforce or engage us in the OODA (observe-orient-decide-act) loop. As a provider of these services, we feel like our industry is failing to provide an adequate solution.
Pretty far reaching ...? Well lets see.
Does your CMS help you focus your content by causing you or allowing you to think through the purpose, audience, message and intended actions?
Does your CMS provide a review process so other people in your organization can review and approve content?
Would you want to use a CRM(Customer Relationship Management) tool that omits the process of scheduling a callback or action with a client so you can close deals? That is similar to using a CMS(Content Management System) that does not cause us or help us to do the OODA (observe-orient-decide-act) loop in regards to our content.
How about a system that paves the way for Schwerpunkt to be at the core of the development of information and online communication with clients and potential clients ensuring that we provide clear, concise and evolving pages and websites!
Retired Colonel Ted Hailes, a professor at the Air War College recently observed, "in the drive to make OODA (observe-orient-decide-act) loops smaller and faster, man's role in the loop is being reduced or preformulated." Orientation, however still remains highly significant: The data is worthless, after all, without our interpretation. iBCS's Prime Agile CMS helps you gain that competitive edge by allowing to interpret data quickly and action on those observations faster than ever before, all these based on Schwerpunkt!
Our Commitment is not just to help our clients by providing standalone systems, but to provide integrated tools which help them evolve constantly and ultimately win with clear strategies. Prime Agile CMS is the tool to drive that strategy. Call for details: 435-215-4674

I am proud to introduce The Courtyard House that was designed and completed by Hiren Patel Architects. This dazzling dream home can be found in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. I love the design approach that the modern architects used in this project – grid of 7'x7'. The concept used in this project was to create a home with all living spaces as well as passages face an open space and garden. In fact, this is the focal point of design since the very beginning – creating a courtyard at the center, which holds the reflection pool.
The modern architecture evokes a design that's introverted with a garden at the rear side but is still visible and accessible from all living spaces within the house. In my opinion, this is an ingenious and unique design that really stands out. The formal living room is the first thing you'll set eyes upon along with two bedrooms and a passage that runs parallel to the central courtyard and pool. It is this layout that brings inspiration to me.
The passage that I have mentioned leads to the dining room and living room, which receives the most traffic within the home, and also has the huge veranda on all three sides. This opens the area further to the north side of the garden.
Throughout the interiors, huge openings and skylight allow enough natural light to seep into the home during the day and this feature is one of the essential things for interior design considering the Ahmedabad climate. Light is important in the design approach but it should not allow scorching heat hence the screen and deep veranda feature. The verandas provide entertainment space exteriorly especially on relatively cool mornings and evenings.
I find the Courtyard House really inspirational especially with the use of RCC roof structure, which is covered with wood including those that are covering the veranda and upper rooms. The floor is clad with natural marble stone and wooden planks. The doors and windows are custom-made created from wood and laminated glass. I must say that this home has a "timeless" quality. (via)

WTF Files: A Woman Hasn't Moderated a Presidential Debate in 20 Years
Election season is well underway in the US, and so far, the coverage isn't exactly overflowing with women. As the 4th Estate reported last week,
Men are much more likely to be quoted [in election coverage] on their subjective insight in newspapers and on television. This pattern holds true across all major news outlets, as well as on issues specifically concerning women. For example, in front page articles about the 2012 election that mention abortion or birth control, men are 4 to 7 times more likely to be cited than women.
Turns out, this pattern holds true for presidential debates as well. We already know that the stage will be a total sausage fest during the 2012 debates (again), but did you know that all of the debate moderators in the past 20 years have been men? The last time a woman moderated a presidential debate was when Carole Simpson took the stage with Bill Clinton, Ross Perot, and George Bush in 1992. WTF?
That lady in the back is pissed off in advance that it will be at least 20 years before another woman moderates one of these.
There's a petition up at Change.org encouraging the Commission on Presidential Debates to name at least one woman to moderate one of the three upcoming presidential debates between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Doesn't seem like too much to ask, right? Sign it then!
Who would you like to see moderate a debate between Obama and Romney? I vote Rachel Maddow all the way (unless we're allowed to nominate fictional characters, in which case I'm going with Donna Meagle).
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

I thought Gwen Ifill had but
I thought Gwen Ifill had but it turns out she just did vice-presidential debates in 2004 and 2008. Sad.
I second the Rachel Maddow
I second the Rachel Maddow nomination!
Because Maddow is the poster child of unbiased, right? I guess that means Michelle Malkin should be thrown in there for consideration then, or since you opened the door to pundits instead of journalists, Ann Coulter is eligible. The Maddow pick is just as ludicrous as Having Coulter do it.
I thought Gwen Ifill has.....
I thought Gwen Ifill has..... but now after looking it up, she moderated the 2008 VICE presidential debate.
Female moderator.
It is very strange that I did not notice this on my own so good catch to those girls who originally posted the petition....!
Rachel all the way.

All of the latest news about our university. (by
The company beat seven competitors in the inaugural Buffalo
Student Sandbox contest.
The arrival last week of the 250-foot tower crane at Main and
High streets in downtown Buffalo marks a new milestone in
constructing the future home of the University at Buffalo's
School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Scientists from the University at Buffalo School of Dental
Medicine will borrow a famous strategy from Greek warfare –
the Trojan horse – to fight a fungus that exists in the
mouths and skin of nearly half of the world's population.
A little recognition for a job well done means a lot to children
with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – more
so than it would for typically developing kids.
Knowing for sure that this is the flight debris will be vital in
helping families gain closure, says UB's Nancy Smyth.
Scientists have been finding that genetic risk for many diseases
lies primarily in noncoding parts of the genome, which used to be
called "junk DNA," and not in the genes themselves. But
that finding naturally begs more questions about what these
noncoding regions do to cause a disease and how.
The courses range from half-day seminars to a 9-month
certification program.
When students begin to study calculus, equations and their
graphs are mostly drawn on a "flat" plane. It's
when students proceed to advanced calculus that they find paper and
pencil inadequate.
UB will celebrate summer tonight (Wednesday, July 29, 2015) with
UB on the Green, the university's free outdoor event series
featuring live music, dancing and hands-on activities for the
entire family.
UB sports law expert Nellie Drew says she respects NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell's affirmation of New England
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension.
