Nickel is a high-luster, silver-white material whose valuable applications have allowed it to carve out a significant niche in the metals market.
The base metal exists in the Earth's crust in two main deposit types: laterite and sulfide. Each deposit type presents unique challenges. For instance, sulfide deposits are found very deep in the crust, making extraction difficult. They also tend to be smaller than laterite deposits and often have variable grades.
In contrast, laterite deposits are near the surface and thus are conducive to open-pit mining. They also offer more consistent grades and are usually larger than sulfide deposits. However, a potential downside to laterite deposits is that ore extraction involves leaching with acids at high temperatures.
Once extracted, nickel is primarily used as a refined metal, with two-thirds of global output being put towards the production of stainless steel. The aerospace industry prizes nickel for its resistance to corrosion, and uses it in spades as a component of superalloys. The metal is also used in coins, catalysts and chemicals, rechargeable batteries, foundry products and plating.
As stainless steel is the largest source of demand for nickel, nickel demand is largely fueled by developing countries in the midst of infrastructure expansions. Indeed, since the early 1990s, the nickel price has seen steep climbs and descents due to changes in economic growth.
For instance, the collapse of the Eastern Bloc at that time led to significant nickel oversupply and a plummet in the metal's price that was not corrected until the early years of the 21st century. Ultimately, the nickel price reached a peak of US$52,179 per tonne in May 2007 after registering a deficit of 44,000 tonnes the previous year.
In 2014, the world's three top nickel producers were the Philippines, Russia and Indonesia. They produced 440,000 tonnes, 260,000 tonnes and 240,000 tonnes of the metal, respectively.
At the moment, Indonesia is a particularly key country for nickel investors to watch. It threw the nickel market into an interesting situation in 2014 when it banned unprocessed ore exports on the first of the year. The immediate result was an uptick in the nickel price, along with share price increases for many nickel-focused companies outside of Indonesia.
However, while the metal's price continued to rise for almost the entire first half of that year, its fortune began to sour by the end of the summer. And unfortunately, it hasn't seen any improvement in 2015. Halfway through the year, concerns were rife about rising stockpiles of the metal, and its price was below 2014 levels.
That said, a poor first half of 2015 doesn't mean the writing is on the wall for nickel. Though the nickel price was below US$15,000 for the bulk of that period, it's important to remember that it was above US$52,000 in the not-too-distant past. Investors interested in the nickel market would thus do well to remember that the resource space is cyclical by nature, meaning, essentially, that what goes down must ultimately come up.

Marketers find new allies
21 September 2011
NEW YORK: Brand owners like PepsiCo, Best Buy and Aetna are seeking to build greater links between their marketing and technology teams, reflecting changing consumer preferences.
PepsiCo, the food and beverage group, has recently run schemes in the US and Europe to identify promising digital start-ups, and worked with Foursquare, the mobile geo-location service.
"Computing is rapidly evolving into a real 'ecology,' where chips will be embedded in everything from your coffee mug to your sweater," Bonin Bough, PepsiCo's global head of digital,
told Forbes
"The challenge for marketers will be finding the delicate balance of embracing this new ecology ... without pushing us toward a world where we become extraneous to the very technology we create."
Bough suggested marketers must forge closer ties with and chief technology officers (CTO) and chief information officers (CIO).
Lisa Macpherson, SVP, marketing, at Hallmark Cards, added: "We've gone through the making marketing credible with the CFO and partnering to do great shopper and trade marketing with the sales officer. Now it really is about the CIO and developing the data networks and connectedness that can let us do great database interactive marketing."
Deepak Advani, IBM's vice president, predictive analysis, similarly suggested the sheer volume of data now available, particularly thanks to social media, was fuelling such processes.
"When you combine computer science and mathematics to disciplines like marketing it really changes the game in a revolutionary way."
Aetna, the health insurance specialist, has a mobile app providing customers with access to their records, alongside equivalent online tools, and a web-based payments estimator.
"Our goal is straightforward - to use our marketing and technology resources to build the best possible health care experience for everyone," said Robert Mead, its CMO. "We need to create consumer technology that is fast, seamless, integrated, relevant and flexible."
Robert Stephens, CTO of Best Buy, the electronics chain, regularly meets with Barry Judge, its CMO. Their output to date has included the Twelpforce, offering customer service on Twitter, demonstrating the transformative effect of the new media era.
"My job is to transform trends into reality for us," Stephens said, adding that engaging consumers can increase loyalty and differentiation. "Advertising is a tax you pay for being unremarkable," he said.

Italy Roundtable: The Blogging Gift
6 Responses to "Italy Roundtable: The Blogging Gift"
Congratulations Rebecca for embedding the twitter search. See, now our readers can look at all the posts we couldn't link!
So, Ashley from No Onions x Pickles is indeed a bright one and they have an #artsmart roundtable – I invited her. And I'd missed Valerie's post, which is really wonderful (did you know she is another vet of House Hunters International this year?)
The swiss woman living in Tuscany took the words out of my mouth. Not the lots of visitors part, but the finding it harder to justify to others the reason for living in this messed up country. The questions people are asking her about Italy right now are the same questions I met while on a recent trip to Canada – people would look at me and say "So, how ARE things in Italy" with the same voice that you'd use to ask about someone with terminal brain cancer.
I'm so glad we opened up the challenge to others this month. What great gifts we got!
Ciao Rebecca! Now I have a lot of links to read, the best gift you could give to me: o lot of links to good blog focused in Italy. I didn't know there were so many blogs written in english. Buona giornata ;)
A very heart-felt congrats on your writing successes this past year. I've been laughing out loud at your posts since the first one on Slow Travel and am so very happy that you're going forward and getting paid to do it!
Thanks for featuring my post – but daaaaammmm you for pointing me to the emotional post at Little Paradiso. That brought tears quicker than a sappy Christmas movie!
Oh well, at this point I may as well come out of hiding. I've known about that gifted blogging neighbor beyond the hills to the east for quite a while. Your great writing, insight and fantastic sense of humor traveled all the way to Southern Tuscany! But why in the world do you insist on writing about Umbria? Of all places!
And Alexandra, you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly how I feel when visiting back in Switzerland. People talk to me as if I had an incurable brain tumor – and it was about time I realized!
Buone feste to you all!
Katja, the Swiss woman in Maremma
Whip-smart and sarcastic as the dickens…why thank you :-D Glad you enjoyed it and that you guys branched out to allow us guest posters this month!
Felice anno nuovo Rebecca! It was a pleasure participating in the Italy blogging roundtable in December. I hope you had a lovely holiday and the new year is off to a great start! We had a fabulous time with our boys and everyone was in great spirits. You may recall my older son Ryan…well, he met a young lady in Puglia shortly after we left Umbria last summer and they continue to be in touch through skype and instant messaging on their cell phones. I think my master plan is working…the best gift I could ever receive…an Italian daughter in law! ;-) You never know…one can dream! Best to you and your family! Un grande abbraccio! Melissa

What does it mean when a guy says; "I want to be with you , but I can't date you right now" . ?
This guy I've kinda been dealing with for a while and I finally had the relationship talk .. and all he said was , ' i want to be with you , i don't want you to see other people - and i'm not going to see other people .. but i can't date you right now . He says he's too busy for a girlfriend but he works 4 hours a day , 4 days a week .. and does nothing else . My girlfriends think he's just scared of commitment , but if he's not going to see anyone else - why doesn't he want the label to go along with the relationship ? & he's had girlfriends in the past , .. I don't understand it .

August 9, 2013–January 19, 2014
Location: Bloch Building, Gallery L11
Admission is free
This exhibition will explore the breadth and global diversity of contemporary photographic portraiture since 2000, highlighting recent acquisitions to the museum's permanent collection.
About Face will include works by twenty-nine artists from the United States, England, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Iran and South Africa. Though each of these photographers approaches portrait-making differently, certain thematic threads resonate throughout the show, including questions of racial, cultural, ethnic, class and gender identity; the relationship between individuals and typologies; the way photographic processes themselves inform meaning; the relevance of historical precedents to contemporary practice; and the impact of media stereotypes on self-presentation. Considered collectively, the works in About Face offer a provocative and engaging forum for considering the question: how do we define portraiture today?
For this exhibition, co-curators Jane L. Aspinwall and April M. Watson at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art are partnering with FlakPhoto.com creator Andy Adams to create a collaborative exhibition project focusing on contemporary portraiture.
The project will present two distinct, simultaneous exhibitions: About Face, our in-gallery exhibition at the Nelson-Atkins, and Making Pictures of People, a digital exhibition presented online for web-based audiences worldwide. Visitors will be able to access the Flak Photo exhibition via touch screens in the gallery and on mobile devices outside the museum.
The goal of our collaboration is twofold: to celebrate the complementary experiences of engaging with photographs as objects and as images, and to connect museum visitors in Kansas City with an international community deeply engaged in thinking about portraiture and contemporary photographic practice.

KENTUCKY (12/11/12) – It may not be cold enough outside for snow, but you can still build a snowman and it will even "melt." Jason Lindsey aka "Mr. Science" with Hooked on Science shows us how to create a "melting snowman" by using a few ingredients from around the house.
• Elmer's Glue
• Borax
• Large Ziploc Bag
• Snowman Eyes, Scarf, Hat, and Arms
STEP 1: Pour 8 ounces of Elmer's glue into the large Ziploc bag.
STEP 2: Mix 2 teaspoon of Borax into 1 cup of warm water.
STEP 3: Mix the Elmer's glue with the water and Borax inside the large Ziploc bag.
STEP 4: Remove the contents from the Ziploc bag. Separate the contents into three pieces. Create a large piece, a medium piece, and a small piece. Form each piece into a sphere. Create a snowman. Allow your snowman to set on a flat surface for a few hours.
After a few hours your snowman will "melt." Scientifically speaking, the snowman is not actually "melting." Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius. This experiment has a lot to do with the long chains of molecules in the Elmer's glue, not freezing and thawing. The Elmer's glue has a lot of long chains of molecules that freely move past each other. When the Borax solution is added to the Elmer's glue, the long chains of molecules are linked together. This causes the long chains of molecules in the Elmer's glue to not move so freely past each other. Therefore, it takes longer for the chains to move past each other and after a few hours your snowman "melts." Go to www.hookedonscience.org for more experiments that might get you and your family "Hooked on Science."

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- As the price of oil plummeted this week it seemed that the commodity bubble had finally burst.
With many investors braced for $150 or more for a barrel of crude, the sight of almost $115 a barrel brings hope that inflationary worries will ease, which also means less pressure for higher interest rates. This should lead to a better economic outlook for the rest of the year, and perhaps it's time to get out of commodities and into stocks.
Yet in a market that's still highly volatile, it's important to choose the right sectors and stocks. Market logic is that when commodities fall, certain sectors, such as financials, typically do well.
But rising food costs and crumbling house prices, combined with still high commodities prices (oil was around $65 a barrel just two years ago, remember), have confused the picture.
There are few clear plays for investors willing to jump into stocks. Here are some promising areas:
As oil and other commodity prices tumbled, the talk across the markets focused on the rebound of financials.
With so much bad news in the past year, any uptick in financial stocks is seized on as a chance to declare "crisis over." And there is some reason for the claim: The S&P 500 Financials Sector index rose 5% in the past month -- ahead of the 0.75% return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index SPX, +1.43%
But while some money managers are ditching commodities in favor of financials, this recovery should be placed in context: the Financials Sector index is still down 26% this year so far.
What's more, there are still fears of further write-downs, and uncertainty about how investment banks will recapture their glory in the absence of easy credit.
"It's too early to invest in financials," said Grant Bowers, portfolio manager of Franklin Templeton's Growth Opportunities Fund FGRAX, +1.43% "There's more pain to be had."
If you're angling to get into financials, one way to approach the sector is to split it between investment banks and their commercial brethren, which typically make money from safer areas of businesses such as net interest margins and deposit gathering. This is how Ron Sloan, senior portfolio manager of the $5 billion AIM Charter Fund CHTRX, +1.41% operates.
Sloan pointed to Wells Fargo & Company WFC, -0.35% and US Bancorp USB, -0.92% as banks he thinks will experience no more than cyclical problems.
Exchange-traded funds are an inexpensive way to track the performance of a sector index. Paul Mazilli, an analyst at Morgan Stanley suggests Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF XLF, +0.13% to gain exposure to the group.
But the financial SPDR and its sector-focused siblings lean toward larger-cap stocks. Investors who want a broader offering, Mazilli said, should consider Vanguard Group's ETFs, which also carry low expenses. Vanguard's Financials ETF VFH, +0.09% covers this area.
For traditional mutual-fund investors, investment researcher Morningstar Inc. has two "analyst picks" in the financial sector: Davis Financial Fund RPFGX, +0.37% and T. Rowe Price Financial Services Fund PRISX, -0.28%
Consumer goods
Another area that usually does better when commodities fall is the consumer sector. The industry can be divided into two groups: consumer staples -- boring stuff such as groceries and household products -- and consumer discretionary -- fun stuff such as restaurants, cars and electronic gadgets.
Because most of these companies sell directly to consumers, they are both more sensitive to economic conditions and less able to pass rising costs on to customers. So when the price of commodities falls, it figures they're looking at a win-win.
Not so fast. While consumer companies aren't facing the same margin squeeze they were as recently as last month, the economic outlook is bleak enough to dampen expectations of a meaningful boost in discretionary spending. One exception, said Sloan, is Comcast Corp. CCS, +0.95%
"Everyone's got cable," said Sloan, adding that in a stay-at-home world created by high gas prices and even job losses, people are reluctant to give up their favorite programs. Comcast, he added, is now reaping the benefits of a 30 years' worth of infrastructure spending.
Alec Young, equity analyst at Standard & Poor's, said consumer staples, such as Procter & Gamble Co. PG, +0.65% and Coca Cola Co. KO, +1.48% are a "dependable" choice.
Negative economic factors combined with market performance of discretionary stocks leaves it lagging behind staples, Young said. S&P, he added, recommends that investors keep a below-average exposure to consumer discretionary stocks in their portfolios.

By Christian Pelusi
Returning from his USO tour to the Bahrain and Kuwait, rap artist Tech N9ne came back a little sore, but with a feeling of fulfillment after seeing how his appearances affected our nation's servicemen and women. With his tone moving from introspective to electric, Tech N9ne spoke from his hometown of Kansas City, Mo., to discuss his USO trip, the reception he enjoyed and the impact our troops had on him.
Q. Being able to take in some of the sites and culture of Southwest Asia had to have been a side benefit of taking the trip to entertain our troops. The Tree of Life in Bahrain. "The Highway of Death." Describe some of the things that struck you the most.
Tech N9ne: Just being on the road and telling me what happened was crazy. And to see how young the folks are that are there. It's super crazy. All the young folks, some were in their teens, that were taking you on the tour. This is where this happened, I was like what. And being at the Tree of Life, and figuring out how that was possible with no moisture or anything. It was just crazy.
Q. In the video (Note: viewable at the bottom of the page), we got to see you prepping for the show at Fort Buehring, Kuwait. Did you have any special emotions before you took the stage, knowing who your audience is?
Tech N9ne: I knew that these kids were from everywhere and me being who I am, I go everywhere. These people knew who I was and it made me feel good. I'd be back stage and test them. We gave them a great show. I went in the crowd with them. It was a wonderful feeling that they may not know about Tech N9ne and maybe some listened to country (music) and yet still loved the show and got me.
What I'm used to is, newcomers coming to our show. You don't have to know our music to enjoy our show. That's the upside to Tech N9ne. Feel the energy. And that's the blessing we have. And that means they'll come back. And they'll bring friends and say 'Watch this.'
The energy they give me, I give back. 100 percent. It's crazy. Even if they're mellow, it makes us work harder to get their attention. But there, with their energy, we gave them rock and rap. Really spitting lyrics. Life experiences on a beat. And they respond. It's a blessing.
Q. Also, for those that don't know your persona, describe the face paint and what it symbolizes for you.
Tech N9ne: My best friend Brion Dennis died five or six Christmases ago and he was the first one that painted my face. He was the one that created The Killer clown. I 'kill' the lyrics. He was the one that came up with that. And when he died, it was a crime of passion. ... I still wear the paint in honor of Brion Dennis. He allowed my persona to come out.
Q.You fractured your rib stepping into an Apache helicopter during a tour of an airfield. With the way you perform on stage, gutting it out (literally) for the troops had to come with its share of pain. How did having the burden of your injury impact your shows, if any?
Tech N9ne: It had me holding my side all show. And when I rap, I go hard. [Raps at warp speed.] It hurt. Even with the shots from the (the medical team). It hurt me bad. But I didn't come out to be a punk. I didn't want to take the meds before the show that might slow me down. For the four shows in Kuwait, I had two cracked ribs. It's better now, but it still hurts. Some people say it takes six months. But I have a tour coming up, 90 shows in 90 days.
But when I was out there in Kuwait, I had to bring it. No matter if I was wounded, it's nothing compared to what they are put through. I was wounded but I WILL NOT stand these people up. They don't stand us up. I'm going around eating at restaurants and they're out there, not doing that but going out and risking their lives.
If I broke my leg I'd do it. But it hurt though. Bad.
Q. Describe the mood when you broke out your new track, "The Noose." The troops really seemed to take to it, the message and how your experience influenced the song.
Tech N9ne: The Camp Pendleton visit really hit me. See young guys there without limbs. Still fighting. Saying how much they liked my music. When Mayday (his band) produced the song, it just hit me and I had to sing about it. When I was out there in Bahrain and Kuwait, I had never performed the song before and haven't done it since. I might do it on my tour coming up since it went over so well. To give it to them and have it received so well, and to go through the crowd with them, to have it touch them. I stumbled a couple of times (on the lyrics), but I don't think they realized it.
There's no feeling like that, when they crowd around you like that. With your eyes closed. On tour, you don't do that. You don't know what can happen. But that's how comfortable I felt. Broken ribs... they kept saying to be careful, watch his ribs.
It was quiet and comfortable. No worries. Couldn't have gone better.
Q. It's now a few months since you were on the USO tour. What do you still recall most vividly from your interactions with the troops?
Tech N9ne: That everybody out there is normal, like me and you. Smiling, happy, despite being out there long, for the duration. No one was hyped up. Normal, nice people. They miss their families. That's what hit me most.
Q. After your Camp Pendleton trip and now this USO tour abroad, can we expect more USO tours in your future?
Tech N9ne: Whenever they call up on me, I'll be there. Whenever. No matter where I'm at, I'll make it a point to be there. For them. Because they're there for me. In the middle of a war zone, I'd go.

Bees are Class AA wrestling champions
Paul, Honsinger claim individual titles for B'ville
Elements of a successful present and a glorious past were mixed together to create a memorable week for the Baldwinsville wrestling team. It was the current Bees that earned the glory during Saturday's Section III Class AA championship meet at Cicero-North Syracuse.
Hockey Wildcats turn back B'ville, 3-1
WG inches closer to Division I West title
Despite its youth, and despite real struggles at different times this winter, the West Genesee ice hockey team is still on the brink of another first-place finish, and again Baldwinsville is chasing them. The Wildcats outplayed the Bees, 3-1, Saturday night at Shove Park, completing a regular-season sweep in a long-simmering rivalry.
West Genesee tops B'ville on senior night
Win gives Wildcats a five point lead for first place in division
After weather postponed the game originally scheduled for Friday, Shove Park Ice Rink in Camillus was packed with fans of both schools Saturday night to see the West Genesee Wildcats top the Baldwinsville Bees for the second time this season. After winning 3-1, the Wildcats now have a five point lead in the division that they will likely keep going into the playoffs.
Skaneateles girls hockey falls in sectional final shootout
Alexandria Bay denies Lakers berth in state final four
Three periods and two overtime periods were not enough to decide the Section III girls hockey championship between Skaneateles and Alexandria Bay Saturday night at Austin Park Pavilion as neither team could get on the scoreboard. It was, instead, a shoot-out that would settle matters - and it was here that the Lakers' state title dreams were denied by the Purple Ghosts, by a 2-1 margin.
Boys hockey Lakers win regular-season league title
Skaneateles clinches with late goal, tie at New Hartford
No, it wasn't a win, but it was still good enough. Skaneateles clinched the Division II boys' hockey regular season league championship thanks to a 3-3 tie with New Hartford on Saturday afternoon.

Caz boys to face Skaneateles Feb. 12
Key late-season clash pushed back by snowstorm
Winter weather struck on the first day of February, pushing back the boys basketball clash between Cazenovia and Skaneateles at Buckley Gym. Instead, the two Laker sides will have to wait until Feb. 12 to make up that contest, which will take place just one day before the announcement of the Section III Class B playoff brackets - and could affect tournament seeding.
Caz girls rout Hannibal, await bigger clashes
Skaneateles showdown pushed back to Feb. 11
What was already a regular-season homestretch full of significance for the Cazenovia girls basketball team, featuring next Tuesday night's visit from undefeated Westhill, only got more interesting, thanks to the intervention of weather.

I am not used to colourless lip balms turning pink on application. So when Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick, Color Changing Color Bloom Pink Blossom turned a pretty pink, sure enough a wide and an extremely surprised grin "blossomed" on my face. "Oh my!! I love this!" was the exact feeling that rushed through me.

John - no issues with current shelter. I won't be camping in the 100+ mph wind, just hiking in it. At night, I would come down to the trees. If it's 100mpj above trees, it's only about 20-30 in the trees.Plus, even if we found the shelter that can survive the 100 mile winds I don't think you would be able to sleep inside due to the flapping and the noise.What about the rest of the setup?
I think your gear seems appropriate assuming you won't be staying above the treeline too long and you keep moving and are ready to head down and out if things don't work out well. I've done a fair amount of cold weather hiking in frigid environments and to be honest I've never managed to do it SUL. Are you traveling alone? I'll also have to admit the most frightening experience I've ever had was not being able to stay warm on a solo hike in the Sierras above Fresno in the winter of 2003 or 04, can't remember the year but despite packing a ton of gear gear, having been out on similar trips numerous times, and being in relatively good health I just couldn't keep warm and had to bug out and down as quickly as I could. Still can't explain why I couldn't keep my core temperature up but my take away lesson was never say never on a solo trip; always be ready to head back. That's all obvious advice though. Hope it works out well.
Gary, what is your actual plan? and when? these things kinda make a difference up there. there isn't a lot of "below treeline" The observation building and tourist buildings are closed in the winter, Lake of the Clouds is closed in winter. http://www.newenglandtrailconditions.com/nh/ dunno if you know about the trail condition site.
The gear you list is some of the lightest on this planet. I'm NO expert, but I don't think you can reduce weight safely.
Conditions: Extreme winter, heavy wind around 100ph, temps -5F to 25F, windchill -50 to -75f at timesAltitude: 6000ftLength:1-2 days"Overnights below treeline in non-windy spots"No guarantee that in white-outs, extreme weather, etc. you can safely get down to below treeline.SUL? UL?Sounds like a potential Darwin Award to me.
Remember SUL has no defined weight definition now that Ryan says so. Could be 50 pounds of stuff if that is the minimum required to carry you through in comfort and safety.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/sul-mindset-jordan.html#.U0YKA15d1nE
Edited by kthompson on 04/09/2014 21:04:32 MDT.
Yes, during white-outs it could be extremely difficult to orient. I wouldn't try to focus on SUL in conditions like this if I didn't have a good grasp of local terrain. People have, indeed, died up there in winter and summer, largely because if hypothermia.If a total white out does happen, it doesn't last that long. If it does, there a number of massive boulders in which you could hide from the wind. With 0F sleeping gear/bivy and full clothing with a Nunatak parka and down pants, you can get by overnight even in -15F temps.
If a total white out does happen, it doesn't last that long... except when it does last a long time. If it does, there is a number of massive boulders in which you could hide from the wind... except in the areas where there are no boulders. The Alpine Garden Trail comes to mind.Anecdote: On the first time I climbed Mount Washington, I got an early start, got to the summit, shot a photo, and started down immediately. I reached timberline as the storm was hitting, so I reached the bottom safely and drove home. There was a stranger who had started from the bottom about an hour later than I had, so he got up near the summit and got pinned down out in the open when the storm hit. He was lucky enough to call 911 and reach the emergency dispatcher, so a rescue was called despite the terrible conditions. The rescue snow cat came up the road and found the stranger still pinned down, so they scooped him up and got him to the hospital.Now, I'm guessing here, but if the storm hit before his call, and then the storm was still blowing after rescue got there, it must have been 2-4 hours minimum. Oh, well, what's a little frostbite?--B.G.--
agree Bob.. the entire north face going down to Lake of the clouds is all low rocks and gets hammered with wind. He ignored my question of an actual plan with bailout plan so it seems like a lot of talk with out any action. it won't happen this year as it's turning into slush and probably monorail season soon.I honestly tell people that the Presi's are better as a day hike. any time of year. Unless you're going to spend $$ for huts then it is much easier to do a day hike than overnight. There is just nowhere to stay up there and the extra weight of gear slows you down.
Jake,I'm sorry, but I don't think I ignored your question. My main point was - in a whiteout, you're in a bad situation, wether or not you're SUL. With the stuff I'm taking you can easily spend a night up there if you are out of the wind. If you are not SUL and don't get out of the wind, you're in the same bad situation b/se no simple tent can tolerate such wind speeds. In any situation you need to camp in a protected area or below treeline and know the conditions and the area very well before spending the night.I personally spent a few night up on Washington during winter storms. Wasn't very smart, but it is what it is.
I asked what your plan was. Where are you going to, from, staying? i just skipped carrying much of anything and did Presi in a day and Pemi in a day during the summer ;)
@Jake - Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, President in a day is great in the summer, esp in sunny weather. I've done a winter Presi traverse in one day with some friends. That was probably the hardest and the most taxing thing I've ever done. We did it in 14 hours and my feet were bloody from the plastic boots. Couldn't walk for a day after... That was with about 25lbs. Ever since I wanted to go and do Presies in SUL fashion. Much less taxing on your feet.This time the plan is to go from Pinkham to a camp by Jefferson and then go back. Going for two days.
Here's a very useful list of escape routes for a presidential traverse. Keep in mind that people have been trapped while knowing the exact bearing to follow to get below treeline because the wind was too strong to allow travel in that direction.http://www.chauvinguides.com/presitraverse/presiescapes.pdf
"wind was too strong"You know the wind is too strong when you can't even get up to crawl.Been there, done that.--B.G.--
So any SUL gear tips for winter and shoulder season Presies?
if you say so. i don't like being cold so it all sounds bad to me. i stick with day hike/snowshoes in the winter.looks like Sphinx Col would be your best bet for a campsite. http://www.chauvinguides.com/presitraverse/presicampguide.htm

The hotel, which was renovated in 2008, is situated in a 15th century convent, among gardens and fountains which recall a past in which Arabian and Christian influences merged. The convent was built on the orders of the Catholic Monarchs on top of a Nazrid Palace, of which important remains are still conserved, such as the Nazrid Hall. Numerous works of art and exceptional pieces of furniture decorate the cloister and the interior rooms. The dining rooms and the cool summer terrace offer exceptional views of the life of Grenada. The hotel has 40 rooms and is air conditioned. The lobby offers 24-hour reception and check-out service, a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities, a cloakroom and lift access. Dining and drinks are provided by the hotel's café, bar and restaurant. WLAN Internet access, room service, laundry service and a car park are all available to hotel guests.
The Alhambra, full of art and history, shadows the urban setting of the hotel. It is just 1 minute away and other attractions of Granada are within 1 km of the hotel. The ski fields of the Sierra Nevada are around 30 km from the hotel. Granada International Airport is approximately 15 km away.Once on the main road to Granada, access is via the ring road, avoiding the city centre and following the signs for Motril, Sierra Nevada and the Alhambra.

I've been climbing since 1997 and I do (and love) it all--sport, trad, bouldering, ice, alpine. I'm drawn as much to the mental challenges of climbing as to the physical ones. My husband and I moved to SLC in 2002 mostly for the great access to so much varied climbing; in addition to day and weekend trips all over the mountain west, we've traveled to the Bugaboos, Sierras, and Alaska Range to get our fix. As an all-arounder, I love the variety of shoes 5.10 offers--great shoes for techy granite, steep limestone, desert cracks of all sizes, humping loads up talus-filled approaches, and moving fast on alpine rock.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class: New, Efficient Four-Cylinder E 200 Ready to RollBy Cuong Huynh • Jul 26th, 2009 • Category: Clean Car Talk Daily Snapshots, Mercedes-benz
Mercedes-Benz is adding to the engine line-up for the new E-Class by introducing two economical four-cylinder models. The E 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY developing 100 kW/136 hp achieves 45 miles per gallon (mpg) or 5.2 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers, while the new E 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY has an output of 135 kW/184 hp and gets 33 mpg or 7.2 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.
Sophisticated, efficient four-cylinder engines make for lower fuel consumption and less environmental pollution without having to compromise on classic Mercedes attributes such as ride comfort and driving enjoyment. As shown by two new E-Class models, which Mercedes-Benz is introducing to complete its engine line-up in the executive category.
The diesel powerplant in the E 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY has a displacement of 2143 cc, an output of 100 kW/136 hp, and consumes 5.2 to 5.5 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers (CO2 emissions: 137 – 145 g/km), enabling the sedan to accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 10.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h.)
The gasoline engine in the new E 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY boasts a displacement of 1.8 liters and an output of 135 kW/184 hp. It takes 8.5 seconds to accelerate from zero to62 mph (100 km/h)and has a top speed of 144 mph (232 km/h.) This model consumes 7.2 liters of premium unleaded petrol (RON 95) per 100 kilometers (CO2 emissions: 169 g/km), not least thanks to the ECO start/stop function, which is fitted as standard in conjunction with the six-speed manual transmission.
These are all-new four-cylinder powerplants with direct injection. One of the main features of the new diesel engine is latest-generation common-rail direct injection. The likewise new four-cylinder gasoline engine with direct injection is fitted with a turbocharger as well as adjustable intake and exhaust camshafts.
Like all the other engine variants for the new E-Class, which have already been awarded the Environment Certificate by TÜV Süd (Technical Inspection Authority in southern Germany), the two new powerplants comply with the EU5 limits.
Other key attributes of the world's best-selling luxury sedan, alongside its exceptionally ecofriendly design, include a unique combination of driver assistance systems, such as drowsiness detection, Adaptive Highbeam Assist and automatic emergency braking, which can help to prevent accidents. Further classic E-Class hallmarks include a high level of long-distance comfort, high-quality interior materials, build quality displaying unerring attention to detail and perfect ergonomics.
Prices for the E 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY start at US$ 55,026 (€ 38,734.50,) while those for the
E 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY start at US$ 56,125 (€ 39,508.), based on May 2009 exchange rate The market launch is expected in September 2009. Availability of both E 200 versions in U.S. market are unclear at this time.

Take an Online Tour of the Buffalo, America's First National River
Congress designated the Buffalo as America's first national river back in 1972; today, it remains one of the last undammed rivers in the country. In recent months, NPCA has helped protect its sensitive waters by taking legal action against an unprecedented factory farm that sits on a major tributary of the river. These photos showcase the stunning landscape that supporters like you are helping to preserve. (If you haven't already, you can visit NPCA's website to tell Cargill Chairman Gregory Page to relocate this farm to a more appropriate part of the state, away from the Buffalo's pristine waters.)
Each month, NPCA puts together a slideshow exploring one of the 401 amazing sites in our National Park System. To get the featured park delivered to your inbox each month, sign up for Park Lines, NPCA's newsletter.

text: Six days after tying the knot, Fox and her new husband packed on the PDA in Kona, Hawaii. The actors have since considered renewing their vows. "I didn't think that I was into it until my relationship with Brian," Fox once explained to E! News. "He's very sensitive and very emotional. He's a Cancer so he's very all about feelings and relationships and he cries about everything. He'll want to do it, so I'll do it for him."

Fresh from its new name change in 2014 (before which it was known as the EX), Infiniti's QX50 luxury-crossover SUV sails into 2015 with no major changes.
Infiniti is re-naming its product line and the 2014 QX50 is the same vehicle, with a different title, as the 2013 EX37. Other than the new name, there has been no change of any consequence to last year's EX37.
Infiniti's smallest luxury SUV, the 2015 QX50, may be getting on in years, but it certainly doesn't look it. The shapely skin is still alluring and the QX50's interior remains one of our favorites, ornate and detailed with rich colors and loads of technological toys. The QX50 is also remarkably agile, although its ride can be a bit rough over uneven surfaces (blame the big wheel/tire combo). Infiniti provides a powerful 325-horsepower V6 as the QX50's sole powerplant. This engine delivers good performance, but only average fuel economy, a sharp contrast to the more fuel-efficient – yet less powerful – turbocharged 4-cylinder engines found in the Audi Q5, BMW X1 and Acura RDX. Traction-enhancing all-wheel drive (AWD) is available.View InfinitiQX50 vehicles for sale near you.

People have a variety of needs. Irrespective of one's status, age, and achievements, one would still have some unfulfilled needs. In order to satisfy their unfulfilled needs more effectively, people have learned to organize themselves into groups. The process of organizing facilitates an organization in its specialization efforts. It helps the employees to develop specialized skills and enhances the productivity and efficient functioning of the organization. The organizational system consists of social, technical and economic elements which coordinate human and material resources to achieve various organizational objectives. Some of the objectives of an organization may be: • To maximize profits
• To produce goods and services of good quality
• To compete with other players in the industry
• To ensure welfare of its employees
• To make efficient use of resources and achieve growth
Human behavior in organizations is as complex as the social system itself. People differ from each other in their needs and values, which can be understood better with the help of behavioral science. Behavioral science considers the influence of various elements (social, economic and technical systems) of the complex external environment on people's behavior. It improves people's understanding of interpersonal skills and so also their ability to work together as a team to achieve organizational goals effectively.
Organizational Behavior Defined
Organizational behavior is the system of culture, leadership, communication and group dynamics that determines an organization's actions. According to Keith Davis, "it is the study and application of knowledge about how people act within an organization." Key Forces Affecting Organizational Behavior
Elements of Organizational Behavior
How people behave in an organization under a given situation is the concern of organizational behavior. People join an organization to achieve...

Freehold Regional Superintendent H. James Wasser, 58, received a doctorate degree from Breyer State University in Alabama. Breyer State's operating license was not renewed last month as part of a crackdown on diploma mills, according to the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education.

Open access continues its rapid growth, and is gaining support from funders and national policy advisers. Arthur Carty, the Canadian National Science Advisor, recently published an article in University Affairs showing strong support for open access. In the article, Carty writes:
"We have to find ways to motivate researchers in all countries to preserve and exchange their research data, to publish their findings in open access journals and to deposit their published articles in institutional repositories. [...] Institutions, too, need to know that their investments in expanding and improving the quality of their data archives and open-access repositories are recognized as measurable scientific outputs."
BioMed Central has 25 member institutions in Canada. Canadian researchers and institutions have always been supporters of BioMed Central and BioMed Central welcomes this further support.
In other developments, the Wellcome Trust policy on open access to the research it funds came into effect on the 1st October 2005. Wellcome is the first scientific research funder to insist that articles that result from research it funds are placed in an open access repository.
The Wellcome Trust has stated that as part of its policy it will also "provide grantees with additional funding to cover the costs of page processing charges levied by open access publishers, such as the Public Library of Science and BioMed Central." For more information on the Wellcome Trust's policy, please visit their website.
Research Councils UK (RCUK) is expected to issue a final version of its position statement on access to research soon. The draft position statement is available on their website.
The draft statement proposes that RCUK will require that all research articles arising from Council-funded work should be deposited in open access repositories. It also confirms that the cost of publishing in open access journals such as those published by BioMed Central can be included in grant applications to the research councils.
back to top
BioMed Central is pleased to announce that NHS England have renewed their BioMed Central membership agreement until March 2008. Under the renewed membership agreement all 1.4 million NHS England staff can continue to publish their work in BioMed Central's growing number of open access journals without incurring a direct article processing charge.
We are also delighted to report that the CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians) consortium has renewed memberships and subscription products for 20 universities in Australia.
Faculty of 1000 Medicine (www.f1000medicine.com), the sister-service to the award-winning Faculty of 1000 Biology, will be launching in January 2006.
This online literature awareness service will draw upon the authority and experience of over 2000 of the world's leading researchers and clinicians to highlight and evaluate the most important papers published in the medical sciences, making this an invaluable tool for doctors and medical researchers.
Organized into 18 Faculties covering the whole of medicine, Faculty of 1000 Medicine helps users find the most important papers amongst the mass of literature. The prestigious, international Advisory Board oversees the service and includes Steven Hyman of Harvard University, Judith Swain of Stanford University and Hans Wigzell of the Karolinska Institute.
Faculty of 1000 Medicine is a user-friendly service, offering features to navigate and highlight the content of most relevance and importance to each individual user, such as easy browsing, regular email alerts, Top 10 lists of the best papers, most popular and all-time classic papers, and our selection of Hidden Jewels - the most popular papers from less-obvious journals.
For more information on how Faculty of 1000 Medicine can help your library's users, or to find out how you can set up a FREE 30-day trial at your institution, please contact your Sales Representative.
As you may have already heard, Springer Science + Business Media has recently acquired Current Medicine Group, publisher of the Current Reports journals, Current Treatment Options journals and images.MD. BioMed Central's customer service and sales team will continue to service all sales and customer support needs for these products up until January 1st 2006, at which point the team at Current Medicine LLC will take over (please find their contact information below).
We are confident that customers will be in good hands from January 2006, and will be working with Current Medicine to ensure a smooth handover. If, in the meantime, you have any queries regarding this change or any Current Medicine products, please don't hesitate to contact us through the Customer Services team here at BioMed Central, or via your sales representative.

Deciding how to build and host an institutional repository and who to partner with can be a major challenge for institutions. Choosing to have a free pilot repository for 3 months, set up by Open Repository, allows institutions to see what this unique service can offer.
Increasing numbers of institutions are taking advantage of this opportunity including University of Liverpool, King's College London, Ospedale Niguarda, University of Connecticut and many more. If you would like to trial a pilot repository at your institution, please contact Marie Martens.

BioMed Central's current institutional membership programme is ending this month and will be replaced by two new membership models to better suit library needs- Prepay and Supporters Membership:
Prepay Membership is an advanced payment system whereby customers pay upfront for a number of articles to be processed and published. Upon publication, the full Article Processing Charge for the BioMed Central journal in question, minus the discount that applies, will be deducted from the account. The higher the amount paid in advance, the greater the discount given.
Supporters Membership allows libraries to support their researchers and open access. Members pay a flat rate annual membership fee based on the number of biological and medical researchers and graduate students at their institution. Members of the institution are then given a 15% discount on the Article Processing Charge when publishing in BioMed Central's journals.
If you would like further information about these models, please contact your sales representative or visit our membership page.
Six more journals published by BioMed Central have been accepted for tracking by The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). BMC Developmental Biology, BMC Immunology, BMC Neurology, BMC Plant Biology, BMC Structural Biology and Journal of Translational Medicine are now included in the Science Citation Index Expanded, available through the Web of Science, and will receive an impact factor in 2008.
ISI now tracks 30 journals published by BioMed Central. A full list is available on our website.
We are also pleased to announce that five more journals published by BioMed Central have recently been accepted into MEDLINE, the selective indexing service run by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Cardiovascular Diabetology, Cardiovascular Ultrasound, Lipids in Health and Disease, Nutrition Journal and Retrovirology. MEDLINE now indexes 61 journals published by BioMed Central. A full list is available on the indexing page of our website.
Help your researchers to make the most of open access by cataloguing all of our journals, including the high-quality Journal of Biology, which as of 2006 will become an online-only journal.
In the last 3 months, we have launched 2 new journals as part of our innovative 'Independent Journals Program':
