"It was built against the will of the immortal gods, and so it did not last for long." Homer, The Iliad
The youngsters that run Wall Street know a lot more about Homer Simpson than they do the Greek poet. But in the wake of riots in Greece and stock market gyrations at home, we may all soon be in for a full fledged tragedy of epic proportions.
The $1 trillion bailout by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Europe to stave off a Greek debt default is just the latest attempt by Big Government to defeat deflation. But the soaring price of gold shows that this latest rescue is mired with problems.
Consider the fact that even the strongest of the rescuers are bleeding debt. Germany, once the hero of fiscal policy in Europe, has seen government debt rise to a whopping 80 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP). Germany is far stronger than the other weak sisters that make up the euro—Spain, Portugal and Italy.
It looks as if the $1 trillion bailout to Greece may not have stabilized global stock markets and it certainly has not arrested the decline of the euro. Last week The New York Times reported that, "Fear in the financial markets is building again, this time over worries that the Continent's biggest banks face strains that will hobble European economies."
Greece is the latest domino in a continuing debt crisis that began with the implosion of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Greece is just another link in a very weak chain. In fact, the IMF warns that "high levels of public indebtedness could weigh on economic growth for years."
Borrowing Against All Of Our Tomorrows
The world's budget deficit as a percentage of GDP now stands at 6 percent, up from less than 1 percent before the financial crisis. If public debt is not lowered back to pre-crisis levels, says the IMF, economic growth could decline by half a percentage point annually. That is bad for the world and bad for the United States which is just barely clinging to an economic recovery; a recovery built on cheap money. But how long money will stay cheap is anyone's guess.
In the not too distant future the U.S. dollar, once the Zeus of all currencies, may topple from the mountain top. Greece has a budget deficit of 13.6 percent of its GDP. Meanwhile the U.S. has a budget deficit of 9.3 percent, and that's only for this year. In the coming years America's deficit could easily exceed Greece's number.
Furthermore, Greece's national debt now totals 115 percent of its GDP. U.S. national debt totals "only" 85 percent of GDP, but it is expected to reach 140 percent of GDP in the next two decades.
But what the Mexican debt crisis taught us in the 1980s and what Greece is teaching us now is that the bond markets will never allow the U.S. to reach its debt targets.
According to Dr. Edward Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, "There's a tremendous clash between the bond vigilantes on one side and reckless governments on the other. The bond vigilantes are trying to establish some fiscal and monetary law and order."
You might recall Yardeni from the 1980s when he correctly predicted the Latin debt bomb, the explosion which helped trigger the 1987 stock market crash. Three decades ago Yardeni pointed out that, "If the fiscal and monetary authorities won't regulate the economy, the bond investor will." Like Homer's Cassandra, Yardeni has a talent for correctly predicting tragedies but is cursed because no one will believe him.
Just how bad is this crisis which was spawned in Greece, the cradle of learning and democracy? According to Citigroup's top economist, Willem Buiter, with the exception of wartime, "the public finances in the majority of advanced industrial countries are in a worse state today than at any time since the industrial revolution. Restoring fiscal balance will be a drag on growth for years to come."
Still, the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve continue to believe they can engineer yet another bailout. In fact, the Fed has opened up new lines of credit to the European Central Bank as part of the European rescue package.
"We didn't do so out of any special love for Europe," said Narayana Kocherlakota, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. "We're American policy makers, and we make decisions to keep the American economy strong." Yet the Fed president admits that the liquidity problems abroad could soon haunt U.S. financial markets and the recovery itself.
The Federal Reserve and Federal government have already borrowed trillions of dollars to derail the wave of deflation that began in early 2008. To do that and to spark a recovery the Fed pushed short-term interest rates towards zero, the lowest levels America has seen since the 1930s. In other words the U.S. government has shot its bolt. The U.S. simply can't hit the "re-flate" button again without a major outcry from the bond market.
Gold On Record Run
The knee-jerk reaction from the euro crisis has been for money to go into U.S. Treasuries. But the chart below shows the monumental increase in 10-year Treasury bond yields since the beginning of 2009. Investors have demanded a higher return from Uncle Sam as the Obama administration and the Federal Reserve have been hell-bent on bailing out the U.S. economy with trillions of new dollars.
U.S. loans to buoy European central banks will only accelerate the bond markets woes, and with rising interest rates on the horizon, we can anticipate a bear market. The computer-glitch stock market meltdown that happened earlier this month portends to an American tragedy.
With the euro at four-year lows one might be expecting the greenback to soar. Instead there has been only modest strength in the dollar and record highs for gold. At this writing London gold is trading just under $1,200 per ounce. In November 2008, London gold was $713.50, so the Midas metal has had quite a run since then. In fact gold was $810 when I first recommended it to you last August. Still I believe gold is headed much higher.
Action To Take
Expect short-term strength in the U.S. Treasury market as we go into summer. If you own bonds, use this rally to liquidate them. Higher interest rates are looming and so is a bond market meltdown. Meanwhile, continue to accumulate physical gold. I think $1,500 gold is a realistic target by the end of this year.
Yours for real wealth and good health,
John Myers
Myers' Energy and Gold Report
P.S.—I thought the quote at the top by Homer is applicable to the U.S. dollar. I am interested to see if you agree.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.-Niagara Falls senior #10 Jermaine Crumpton hit a three pointer to start overtime and the Wolverines never looked back as they held on to defeat Bishop Kearney 52-47 at home on Friday. The game was part of the 13th annual Cataract Classic.
The Wolverines found themselves trailing late in the fourth quarter but junior #3 Vinzell Watkins hit two clutch free throws with 1.3 seconds left in overtime to tie the game at 40 and force overtime. Niagara Falls then went on a 7-1 run to start overtime. Bishop Kearney pulled within three late to make it 50-47 but two free throws by senior #13 Ramir Burton sealed it for the Wolverines.
Crumpton led all scorers with 18 points. Burton had 16 points and junior #3 Vinzell Watkins had 13 points.
The Knights, out of the Rochester area, were led by Syracuse bound 6'9" #35 Chinonso Obokoh with 11 points. Senior #5 Antwoine Anderson had nine points.
Niagara Falls got off to a hot start, going on a 10-3 run to start the game in front of a packed house but the Knights rallied back for 10 straight points to take a 13-10 lead with 4:57 left in the second quarter. Bishop Kearney led 17-15 at halftime.
The teams would continue to trade baskets all the way through the second half until Niagara Falls was able to take control in overtime.
"Defensively the kids had so much energy," says Niagara Falls Head Coach Sal Constantino. "One of the nights they saw a challenge and took it head on." Crumpton, who is going to Canisius next year, really impressed Coach Constantino.
"He walked out and saw a challenge. We saw him with cramps towards the end and he wouldn't come out. I have a new respect for him after tonight."
Niagara Falls will close out the Cataract City Classic Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. against Brunswick out of Ohio. That game will be the last of six games held at Niagara Falls High School on Saturday.

Clinicopathologic Overlap Between Rare Eosinophilic Disorders: Implications for Clinical Trial Design, Wednesday, July 17, 2013
Location: Oxford, England
Description: The short-term goals of the workshop are: 1) to bring together a multidisciplinary group of clinician-scientists with expertise in rare eosinophilic disorders to discuss issues related to improved clinical trial design, including the utility of current diagnostic criteria and the validation of biomarkers of disease activity, 2) to continue fostering collaborative relationships between multidisciplinary clinical and basic science researchers interested in eosinophilic disorders, and 3) to provide a venue for establishing a formal multidisciplinary clinical subgroup of the IES. It is anticipated that the findings from this workshop will lead to improved design of multicenter clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of novel agents for the treatment of these disorders. Furthermore, establishing a formal clinical subgroup of IES will facilitate advocacy for new clinical trials for rare eosinophilic disorders.

easyJet had a landmark celebration today when it flew its 30 millionth passenger through Belfast International Airport.
The lucky traveller, Tanya Kilfeather, was presented with a bottle of champagne and two flights to an easyJet destination of her choice.
easyJet commercial manager Ali Gayward made the presentation before the milestone achiever boarded her flight to Stansted.
Tanya is a key account manager with Brammer, a pan-European technical distribution company with a branch in Belfast.
She said: "I am a regular passenger with easyJet as I spend most of my working week with clients in England and Scotland.
"I have always found easyJet to be the best of the low-cost airlines, from convenient flight times to excellent customer service.
"It's great to win the free flights and I'll almost certainly use them in September for some Spanish sun via Alicante."
easyJet's first flight from Belfast International was to London Luton in September 1998.
New routes have been regularly added and the airline now flies to 21 domestic and European destinations from Belfast.
Ali Gayward said: "easyJet was the first airline to bring low-fares travel to Northern Ireland and our aim has always been to provide significant choice, flexibility and affordable travel to people across the region.
"We have undoubtedly been successful in achieving this and I would like to say a big thank-you to the travelling public who have made us Northern Ireland's favourite airline.
"Our commitment will continue to Northern Ireland people, from business travellers to people going on short city breaks or longer holidays."

Tools & Resources
Purchasing any type of used vehicle carries some risk. And whether this is your first purchase of a used motorcycle or your fifth, there are some simple questions you may want to consider to help minimize that risk. By following these simple used motorcycle buyer guidelines, it can help you to better ensure that the motorcycle you are purchasing is what you are looking for—and working in the way you expect.
Before you go into negotiations with a seller, find out typical used motorcycle prices. Know what the expected fair market value of the bike you're interested in would be. You can find market values of motorcycles at www.nadaguides.com, and you can see what other people are listing similar bikes for on sites like www.craigslist.org, www.cycletrader.com, or www.ebaymotors.com. Have an idea what you are willing to offer and adjust it along the way as you inspect and test ride the bike.
Find out as much as you can about the bike during your initial phone or email conversation with the seller. There are several questions you can ask that might give you an idea of how the motorcycle was maintained:
A thorough visual inspection of the bike can reveal potential problems and give you a sense of how the motorcycle was cared for and maintained. Nothing can replace a complete bike inspection from an accredited motorcycle repair shop, especially if you aren't comfortable inspecting the bike yourself.
However, if you have to inspect the bike on your own, view the Inspect the Bike page of our "Things to Know When Shopping for a Used Motorcycle" brochure. They can help you uncover potential issues.
Also, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation has developed a comprehensive checklist for pre-ride inspection that can come in handy for checking out your used bike. By the way, it's a good idea to bring a small flashlight with you when you inspect a motorcycle.
If the seller is willing, take the motorcycle for a test ride. You can bring a friend to the inspection and leave him/her behind so the seller knows you will return.

GORDON ON 'D' UPGRADE: "NO COMPARISON"Plus: Point Blank Kickoff Party on Oct. 21 at SOCIAL
9:35 am: In what could be a sign of things to come, Scott Gordon and Dean Chynoweth cut their defensive alignment by one-third on Saturday while the Islanders successfully protected a 2-1 lead over the Devils. The coaches played Mark Eaton, Mike Mottau, Radek Martinek and James Wisniewski exclusively, holding Andrew MacDonald and Calvin de Haan to under ten minutes for the contest.
Gordon clarified that he limited the youngsters' minutes because they had played the night before in New Jersey. Fair enough, but – especially if Martinek can stay healthy – the Islanders could do a lot worse than having him, Mottau, Eaton and Wisniewski eating minutes while trying to hold a lead. In fact, as anyone who has followed this team closely since the summer Kenny Jonsson, Adrian Aucoin and Roman Hamrlik left town knows, the franchise has done a lot worse.
So I put the question to Coach Gordon: even with Mark Streit out, is this the best corps of defensemen you've had since you got here?
Gordon looked me straight in the eye and said, "There's no comparison."
Then he elaborated.
"We went into the year with two defensemen who hadn't played pretty much the whole previous year (Andy Sutton and Martinek) and a defenseman that is probably retired now (Brendan Witt). We had some defensemen that had to catch up when Marty got hurt (Freddy Meyer among them).
"Now we're in a situation where the guys that are here, everybody's played top-four minutes at some point. We haven't had that in the entire time that I've been here."
A year ago at this time, the Islanders started the season with a blueline of Streit, Sutton, Martinek, Meyer, Witt and Bruno Gervais. Jack Hillen was the prospect ready to go.
Despite Streit's absence, Gordon and Chynoweth will have the option of playing any six of the following nine defensemen when the season opens on Saturday: Wisniewski, Mottau, Eaton, Martinek, MacDonald, Gervais, de Haan, Hillen and Milan Jurcina.
In mid-July, I disagreed that the Islanders improved their defense when the additions were only Eaton and Jurcina. Then came the brilliant stroke of acquiring Wisniewski for a conditional third round pick. Last week saw the low-cost signing of the high-calibre Mottau.
Yes, "best D corps" in these last three seasons is all relative. But bood health willing, Gordon has every reason to believe there's no comparison.
Notes: For those of you without the MSG Networks or Centre Ice package, NHL Network is broadcasting the Islanders' game at Anaheim on Nov. 10 at 10:00 pm ET. This is the only Islanders' broadcast of the network's schedule of 78 NHL games live and in HD.
More than a week after the Islanders sent Kirill Kabanov back to Moncton, the wing has yet to play in a Quebec League game. The latest holdup: the Wildcats are waiting for the International Ice Hockey Federation complete paperwork to clear Kabanov to play. He has yet to be added to the team's roster, while Moncton (6-2-2) has already played ten games.
The authors of "Hockey Prospectus 2010-11" were kind enough to ask me to write the foreword of their book. The first of its kind and in the vein of the long-running Baseball Prospectus series, the book features projections for every team and more than 850 players. I found it very useful while preparing my season previews for FanHouse and when I made my return to fantasy hockey in Justin Bourne's league after an absence of two decades. Pick up a copy of "Hockey Prospectus 2010-11" here.
Finally, save the date of Thursday, October 21. Looking at having a Point Blank season kickoff party at SOCIAL, across the street from the Coliseum. Free buffet by Top Chef's Danny Gagnon, Islanders tickets giveaway, raffle and the Islanders vs the Tampa Bay Lightning at 7:30 pm on a few dozen TVs. Stay tuned for confirmation and details.

|Study focuses on premature babies in the south
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 17 May 2007 04:35
A new center at Duke University will study why more babies are born premature or underweight in the south than elsewhere in the nation.The center is the first of its kind. A 7.7 million dollar grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will fund the five-year project. The study will focus on what role genes, environment and socioeconomic status play in premature or underweight births. The grant represents the largest EPA grant ever awarded for a children's research center. The project is a subsidiary of Duke's Children's Environmental Health Initiative and will include a review of 15 years' worth of data on live births in North Carolina. The data will be analyzed, keeping in mind social and environmental variables.

Rockford, IL
The 20-acre Acme Solvent Reclaiming (Morristown Plant) site was used as a drum storage and disposal area for wastes. From 1960 to 1970, the site consisted of seven waste disposal lagoons and open storage of 10,000 to 15,000 drums. Testing of groundwater found it to contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Soil sampling identified VOCs, phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and metals including lead and chromium. The Site is located near 8500 Lindenwood Road, south of New Milford and approximately five miles south of Rockford in unincorporated Winnebago County. This site is being addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible party (PRP) actions. Groundwater was found to contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Soil was found to contain VOCs, phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and metals, including lead and chromium. The soil has been remediated or covered with a soil cover. An alternate water supply was provided to affected neighbors so that they were no longer using the contaminated groundwater. Institutional controls are to be implemented to prohibit contact with the groundwater that is contaminated.
The investigation at this site was initiated by the State of Illinois, using federal funds, resulting in a decision document in September 1985. Some of the PRPs for the site implemented an unauthorized soil removal in 1986 during which an estimated 90 percent of the contaminated soil at the site was taken to a land disposal facility.
The final cleanup decision was signed in September 1990 and this was subsequently modified by two Explanations of Significant Differences, one in June 1994 and the other in February 1998. The remedy included installation of on-site fencing, low temperature thermal stripping of excavated soil, operation of a soil vapor extraction system, tank content disposal and tank removal, installation and operation of a groundwater pump-and-treat system, and provision of an alternate water supply to affected homes. Construction has been completed but site monitoring and operation of the groundwater pump-and-treat system have continued.The third five-year review report was issued in September 2007. The review found that the remedy is protective of human health and the environment in the short term because exposure pathways that could result in unacceptable risks are being controlled and an alternate water supply is available to users within the plume area. Interim groundwater use restrictions are required in the plume area until these cleanup standards are achieved. Long-term protectiveness for the entire remedy requires compliance with effective institutional controls (ICs); additional ICs are to be implemented.

Site Updates
November 2013 Update
On September 20, 1012, the fourth five-year review report for the Acme Solvent Reclaiming (Morristown Plant) Superfund site was signed. The review concluded that the overall remedy at the site is protective in the short-term. The groundwater remedy will achieve long-term protectiveness when the groundwater cleanup standards are achieved throughout the plume area.

As you may already know, we'll be expanding distribution into the incredibly lucky state of Connecticut near the end of September. The fair people of the Constitution State will soon be enjoying our sweet, hoppy nectar and dancing in the streets, rejoicing in their shared good fortune while poor, unfortunate beer geeks in Stone-deprived states will continue to languish in their cosmic misfortune, shaking their fists at the sky and wondering why the beer gods have forsaken them thusly. If you find yourself in the latter, ill-fated camp, let us explain how we choose new areas to distribute in so that you're no longer doomed to a life of pleading for our beer over email, facebook and Twitter (yes, we hear you MO!), forever uninformed and feeling perpetually slighted. Believe it or not, it's slightly more complicated than a coin toss or "eenie meenie miny moe" (slightly).
It all depends on three main factors. The first and foremost consideration is a no-brainer: Can we make enough beer? Usually the answer is no, because we're busy trying to brew enough beer for our current areas of distribution. Sure, we've experienced ridiculously explosive growth since we opened our doors in 1996, but even with two new fermenters coming in and another building in the plans, we're still hard-pressed to meet demand for our beer in our present territories. What can we say? We have thirsty fans…
The second consideration is that of demand. We have to ask ourselves if a new territory harbors sufficient demand for our beer, not only among fanatical beer geeks and hop-heads, but also retailers. Without considerable longing from both camps, expansion into a new territory is simply not wise. You see, we need steady turnover for our year-round fresh beers. Without that, our beers might sit waiting for the knowledgeable beer buyer just a little too long on the shelves.
The third and final variable is an acceptable distribution option. We need a wholesaler who 1) understands great beer, 2) is knowledgeable about how to sell great beer, 3) knows how to take care of great beer, 4) has the proper infrastructure to get it to all the great retailers in their region that would like to stock Stone.
Now for the question we always get: Do we ship directly to homes? No, we don't—but dry up those tears and spare us the hate mail, because you have a few options. Below is a list of people who CAN ship you some Arrogance right to your doorstep:
- Hi Time Wine Cellar (800-331-3005)
- Liquid Solutions (503-496-1942)
- Bottle Trek (1-866-503-9049)
- Beer on the Wall (1-888-840-BEER)
- Arctic Liquor (877-817-9463)
- Holiday Wine Cellar (760-745-1200)
- South Bay Drug & Liquor (619-424-5164)
These places will usually send a decent selection of our beers to MOST states. Keep in mind that many states prohibit the shipping of beer from out of state, and as such, are typically not on the "eligibility list" for many of these shippers. State laws are complex and change frequently, so some may ship where others will not and vice versa.
The bottom line is, we'll get to your state eventually. Maybe. As long as we're able to meet the above parameters. Although we may not have immediate plans to invade your state, we have heard your cries for help. In the meantime, do your best to advocate craft beer. Supporting your local craft breweries, requesting better beer from retailers, and helping to convert others is the fastest way to get the choices you want. Until then…CHEERS!

In June 1997, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract to repair and maintain its parking lots and access roads at four Washington, DC, area facilities. Unlike similar previous contracts, this 5-year, $1 million-per-year project required the contractor to use products with enhanced environmental attributes that also met DOD's traditional price and performance specifications. During the first 15 months of the contract, the contractor used products with environmental attributes to pave 227,934 square feet of parking lots and roadways. Compared to traditional products, the contractor's products have increased recycled-content percentages, reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) levels, and lowered overall toxicity. DOD did not sacrifice cost or performance to achieve its environmentally preferable purchasing goals. In fact, the cost was less than similar, traditional paving products with equivalent performance.
In developing the contract, DOD worked extensively with EPA to consider alternative approaches for promoting the use of environmental products. Initially, the team considered developing a list of "approved products" the contractor should use. This method, however, placed the burden of researching, testing, and updating the environmental products on the two agencies, neither of which had the available resources. Instead, DOD and EPA used publicly available information from sources such as the Harris Directory , Thomas Directory , and the National Park Service's Sustainable Design and Construction Database to identify initial baseline environmental features such as low levels of VOCs and high percentages of recycled content for the products required by the contract.
Based on the information collected through this research, the team created category-specific surveys to gather additional environmental information from potential suppliers. The information was used to develop worksheets listing the baseline environmental attributes and performance requirements for each of 20 product categories, representing 90 percent of the materials used for repair and maintenance of the parking lots. As an incentive to find products with the highest number of environmental attributes from the worksheets that also meet DOD's performance requirements, the contract includes a 2 percent price differential for each environmental attribute present in the products used by the contractor. For example, if the contractor found an asphalt product that satisfied the mandatory requirements and also contained more than 25 percent recycled asphalt, the contractor can receive a 2 percent bonus. DOD evaluated the contractors' abilities to find such environmental products, along with price and performance standards, when awarding the contract.
To find these environmental products, the contractor conducted an extensive Internet search and queried numerous contacts and suppliers in the road construction industry. The search, which was easier than the contractor expected, revealed several products that exceeded DOD's requirements. The environmental products worked just as well, if not better, than many traditional products. In fact, the contractor is using some of these products on other jobs, even in cases where environmental products are not required.
Current Status
As of April 1999, the DOD contractor had used:
- 9,815 tons of recycled asphalt.
- 2,971 tons of recycled concrete.
- 410 cubic yards of concrete containing recovered materials.
- 3,558 linear feet of recovered glass for reflective surfaces.
- 8,420 linear feet of an asphalt sealer containing recovered crumb rubber.
- 79,141 linear feet of paint containing less than 50 grams per liter of VOCs.
- 24,324 square feet of low VOC concrete curing compound.
- 5,200 linear feet of recovered-content asphalt joint sealant.
Additionally, the contractor recycled 7,055 tons of milled asphalt.
Lessons Learned
The DOD parking lot repair and maintenance contract was one of the first attempts by a federal agency to incorporate environmentally preferable purchasing principles into contract specifications. The most important lessons learned as a result of this effort include:
- Contractors can locate environmental products as part of routine project performance.
- Contractors do not need a price differential to use environmentally preferable products. Keeping the customer happy and gaining firsthand knowledge and experience with environmental products, which will distinguish a contractor from its competitors, is sufficient.
- Including environmentally preferable language in the contract does not necessarily mean the contract will cost more.

To make your next BLT a signature Michael Recchiuti experience, follow these recipes for his buttery brioche and bitter, chocolatey mayonnaise. We served these BLTs at our Cheese & Chocolate Taste Project with applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, fresh butter lettuce and a thick slice of heirloom tomato. Be sure to save your extra brioche for mopping up that leftover mayo!
Proof the yeast in the milk with the sugar (this is the sponge) then stir in 1/2 cup flour until blended. Scatter remaining 1 1/2 cup flour over sponge. Cover with towel, and allow rising for one hour in a 90F area.
After the sponge has tripled in size, beat in the sugar, salt and eggs. Next beat in the butter, 3-4 tablespoons at a time, until all the butter is well incorporated. Cover with a towel and allow to rise for 3 hours or cover and place in fridge to ferment overnight.
After dough has risen or relaxed overnight, form it into small rounds and allow to rise until doubled in size. Carefully brush top with egg wash and bake in 350F oven for 20-30 minutes.
Place yolks in a stainless steel mixing bowl.
Combine unsweetened chocolate and olive oil in double boiler and heat mixture to 115F.
Begin beating egg yolks on medium speed for 1 minute, then increase speed to high and whip until doubled in volume.
Reduce speed to medium and add the chocolate mixture to the yolks carefully, in a fine stream. The yolks will start to emulsify and thicken. If mixture becomes too thick you may add a small amount of oil to loosen the mixture. Season to taste.
Note: This mayonnaise is meant for immediate use and will not keep well in the refrigerator.
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
1/4 cup whole milk (at 90°F)
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 extra-large eggs
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 extra-large egg yolks
1/4 pound unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
pinch of salt and pepper

I have one suggestion for the howto. I find the DNS-section quite good and thorough. How about adding a section on BIND and DHCP integration, I mean dynamic updates? This is an area I find not much covered in howtos on the web, but it is very practical in a home network to let clients register their own hostname.
I will think about it. I have had many more requests to have a HOWTO on PXE booting. I have looked on the web and the information it is usually incomplete. I'll work on PXE first given my usual time constraints.

BUFFALO, NY. - There are questions surrounding how the Erie County Sheriff's Department is spending some of its funding.
Erie County Comptroller David Shenk said the department purchased various items from accounts not intended for those purposes.
Auditors looked at 2012 expenditures and found that roughly 26% or $800,000 worth of purchases were questionable or unacceptable.
The items include computer software, office furniture, K-9s and patrol vehicles.
Shenk said the purchases should have been made using money from the general fund, but instead were bought with money from the jail commissary and telephone funds.
The state regulates commissary funds should only be used for inmate welfare and rehabilitation.
Auditors also found the department could save more than $700,000 if they stop oursourcing nurses and LPNs and hire union workers at competitive wages.
Sheriff Timothy Howard doesn't believe expenditures from the commissary account are inappropriate. He added that those funds were used because there wasn't enough money in the general fund.
The comptroller said dividing the commissary and telephone funds into two different accounts is exploiting a loophole, and he wants to see guidelines for spending the same for both.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The explosion in Winter Quarters that killed 199 men was a harbinger of things to come in Carbon County. There would not only be more disasters awaiting miners in the area, but the effect of the disaster in what was considered to be one of the safest coal mines in the west created a chilling feeling that owners, operators and miners could not shake for a long time.
And in the middle of this economic and social disaster that left 107 widows and 268 orphans, was the battle between the Eastern Utah Advocate and the Carbon County news for claims on the readership of the county. While the Advocate remained optimistic in its tone, the reality was that issue after issue was filled with unemployment news and a bleak outlook for coal.
The Advocate, now owned by Robert and John Crockett, despite being the oldest newspaper in the area, suddenly found themselves with strong competition from the Carbon County news which was started in April of 1907. For over a half decade the Crocketts had had the market to themselves, but the new paper claimed it would be the true voice of the county and that the old newspaper was stale and not up to date.
The News was begun by J.H. Nelson, but would have a succession of owners over the years. By 1908 the paper had new owners in the likes of B.R. McDonald and J.B. Middleton. Then the next year the ownership would change again and again as J. David Larson and Sid J. Whitehead took over in April and then E.J. Dunn and H.C. Smith would take over in August of that year. With a succession of owners and publishers ,some of the message of the paper was lost, but in August of 1911, W.C. Benfer would take the News over and that would be a solidifying force for some time to come.
About the time that the News appeared on the scene, however, the Advocate made some big changes to the look of the publication. Whether this was driven by the new competition or was something the longest owners of the paper so far had planned is unknown. Tiny headlines which once held the top of the page had been replaced by much larger heads. The paper went from a seven column layout to a tabloid look. Most importantly, columns of local news had been added weekly instead of a hit and miss with local while filled with national and boilerplate news.
With both newspapers publishing weekly (the Advocate came out on Wednesdays, and the News on Fridays) many people took both papers because the news in one was up to date for that day. For instance the Advocate issue of March 4. 1909 reported a terrible accident on Feb. 26 in Winter Quarters where a woman and her two children were run down on the tracks by a loose rail car, killing all of them. It was in the main column on the front and top of the paper. But because of the date of the accident, which took place a day before the last issue of the News was printed, the News had carried the story (but farther down the page) in its Feb. 27 issue, five days before. This became a major problem for both papers because of the recentness of the news. However readers were obviously served better because of the competition.
The newspapers also took different tacks on the news as well. The news, and it's editor Heber C. Smith, once complained of the fact that all the Republican nominees for county offices were employees of the Utah Fuel Company. While Crockett generally remained neutral (but personally leaned Republican as he told many people) he took issue with the statement, pointing out that four of the nine running for office were employees of the company and that they had the right to be represented since they paid seven ninths of the taxes in the county.
Since both companies were also in the printing business, Smith (who was a Democrat running for county clerk and recorder again) also complained that the Advocate got most of the county's printing business. However, Crockett pointed out that when Smith had had the job he was running for before, he had given most of the business to the paper "in which he had financial interests."
The battles for constant from 1909 until 1915, when an unusual event occurred. The Eastern Utah Advocate went out of existence basically in name only, and Crockett began publishing The Price Sun.
This is one in a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate that will run periodically through 2011 when the paper celebrates its 120 anniversary. Information for the stories comes from the Utah Digital Newspapers archives, UPA... A Century Later by Jim Cornwell and from A history of the Sun Advocate (masters thesis) by Edith May Allred.

Mstislav Rostropovich
Mstislav Rostropovich, a cellist and conductor who was renowned not only as one of the great instrumentalists of the 20th century, but also as an outspoken champion of artistic freedom in Russia during the final decades of the Cold War, died in Moscow on April 27, 2007. He was 80 and lived in Paris, with homes in Moscow, St. Petersburg, London and Lausanne, Switzerland. As a cellist, Mr. Rostropovich played a vast repertory that included works written for him by some of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Among them were Shostakovich Cello Concertos, Prokofiev's Cello Concerto, Cello Sonata and Symphony-Concerto, Britten's Sonata, Cello Symphony and three Suites. He also played the premieres of solo works by Walton, Auric, Kabalevsky and Misaskovsky, and concertos by Lutoslawski, Panufnik, Messiaen, Schnittke, Henri Dutilleux, Arvo Pärt, Krzysztof Penderecki, Lukas Foss and Giya Kancheli.
