East Pattern & Model Corp. started a year before the movie The Graduate came out. There are similarities, so bear with us.
A character in the 1967 movie tells Dustin Hoffman's character about a great future in plastics. East Pattern founder Warren Kellogg heeded the advice.
East Pattern started as a foundry, where metal is melted and poured into molds, back in 1966. Kellogg soon switched over to injection molding to complement the existing business. As the company website states, "He sensed that plastic was the direction the industry was moving." ...

Clean the fuel filter.
I have a 99 and about year ago it developed a miss when the rpm gets to 2800 and quits at 3500. It does this most of the time but not all. When I got the bike it already had the full Ti. Achropvic exhaust, the breather was modified and it had the Power Camander on it. It allways ran great exect for a lean stumble at the lower RPM. I lived with the stumble for a year. But then it developed this miss. The miss got alot worse sometimes feeling like it was dropping a couple of cylinders over all Low RPM. I took it into a local shop and he said one of the coils went bad and he replaced it with a used one. At that time I had him tune on the programmer a little bit to help the stumble out which he did make it a little better. A few months after riding it four or five times the miss started coming back. I wanted to take it back to the shop to get the miss fixed and have him put it on the dyno to a full fuel map done on the Power Camander. I wanted to change all the coils so I bought four used coils off of Ebay. I took the bike over to the shop he changed the coils for me and put it on the dyno for tuning he said he was able to get fuel map done and it made real good power 168hp but the freaken miss is still there at the same RPM. The lean stumble is fixed. But the miss. It does it almost every time it goes through that RPM range. The shop guy said he was baffled is not sure what it could be and if he is baffled,I sure am. I am sure hoping someone on here could help me out so I don't have to spend a bunch of money trying to chase the problem down. Sorry for being so long winded, I just want to give all the facts to get the best help.
Clean the fuel filter.
Double post.
Reason for Edit: None given...|1139680143 -->
I would like think it would be that simple and you might convince me that it is. But It only misses Between 2800 and 3500. Every were else it runs great. It never seems to be starving for fuel. Once it gets above 3500 it hauls ass all the way out the back door. It only misses when driving around nice and calm and hit the that same RPM range.
If the original pump is still intact,there were some issues with the pumps on the 99-00,this has been well documented,I think it may have even been a recall.Check the filter and or have the pump replaced,maybe try some fuel injection cleaner/conditioner.
That's sort of what my 99 does intermitently. Hopefully soon it will be 'what it used to do'! My mechanic 9the 3rd to work on this issue) found that it had a bad rectifier and was putting out 14 volts at idle and then would drop at about 3000 rpm to 12 and then get weird after that. The ecu's dont like having their voltage messed with like that and the pc mapping gets screwed up too. I'll know in afew days if the bad recitfier was the problem.
Anybody wana sell a copper/silver leather Suzuki jacket?
Sounds like my problem too:
I just bought a '01 Busa with K&N filter and 2 Carbon Can Co Stainless pipes.
The problem is, I am getting a litle bit of roughness/hesitation at around 3k - 4k revs. Feels like the fuelling is not right, maybe. Anybody else have this problem?
Could it be something else like a dodgy spark plug or injector?
Let us know how it goes.
Rebels Abu
Re; Low rpm miss that we are both experiencing: The new rectifier is in and for the first time the bike is responding to changes in the pc2. I was going to sell the spare pc2 I had but it is fried. I'm a couple of days away from loading the original map back into the pc2 and I should be back in business. I'll let you know as soon as I do. For now, I'd check your voltage for stability.
Anybody wana sell a copper/silver leather Suzuki jacket?
My rough running problem has been solved. It was water in the tank. Must have got down into the fuel pump and filter. Anyway she's pulling away fine now. Thanks for the help.
Rebels Abu
Check the TPS/Throttle Position Sensor.
If it's off it could cause this problem...
There is a proceedure in the shop manual to set it with the digital display...
My slightly modded 2005 Busa...
I love this bike...
Thanks, I'll check it, but I don't understand how that could cause me to get water in the tank
Rebels Abu
Update: it wasn't the rectifier, or the stator. Both are replaced and it's not better. Wiring harness might be it. Oh, this isn't going to be easy. By the way, my stator was shot, rectifier as well.
Anybody wana sell a copper/silver leather Suzuki jacket?
I have the same problems at my busa-99,have check everything,new fuel filter,clean fuelpumpand,all censor i have check nothing wrong wid anything,for me it started after small airbox mod and pairvalve remove
Ya well I have been changing just about everything. Just as I read that yours started missing after you modified your airbox. I am in the process of changing my airbox back to stock with a K&N filter and put most of the vacuum lines back on but I am not going to hook up the air injection yet and see what that all does.
Hello,in the airbox there are 4 tratten 2 long and 2 short,gonne to take away 2 long tratten and mont on 2 short, (4 short tratten ) and se whats happens. I have the small airbox mod.
I have had the same problem with my 99 busa it started about a month ago after reading your post txfastesttoys and thinking about it i came to the conclusion it had to be fuel related, however I did notice it was ok while the choke was on, After playing about a bit with the choke lever I have found that if I leave the chock on about a quafter not enough to rase the revs the problem stops
I'll check all thing but it still dont run good between 1200---3000 rpm
I think it is very odd that all of the problems are happening on 99 - 00 models. I just bought one last week and have the same problem. Sounds like a bad plug until it warms up and gets higher rpms. Just replaced the plugs and put new gas in it but still nothing. I refuse to let this gremlin win! No FI codes or anything just runs crappy at low rpms with a load on it (not that bad sitting still revving bike)
My -99 still missing at the low rpm try everything but still have the same problems.When the bike whas new i can hear that the bike have low rpm miss but not so strong to that whas interrupt,but when after mods its gegin to be stronger rmp miss.

Stochastic Wilson-Cowan equations for networks of excitatory and inhibitory neurons
Jack Cowan (Mathematics, University of Chicago)
(September 9, 2013 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM)
Not long ago we found a way to describe the large-scale statistical dynamics of neocortical neural activity in terms of (a) the equilibria of the mean-field Wilson-Cowan equations, and (b) the fluctuations about such equilibria due to intrinsic noise, as modeled by a stochastic version of such equations. Major results of this formulation include a role for critical branching, and the demonstration that there exists a nonequilibrium phase transition in the statistical dynamics which is in the same universality class as directed percolation (DP). Here we show how the mean-field dynamics of interacting excitatory and inhibitory neural populations is organized around a Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, and how this property is related to the DP phase transition in the statistical dynamics. The resulting theory can be used to explain the origins and properties of random bursts of synchronous activity (avalanches), population oscillations(quasi-cycles), synchronous oscillations (limit-cycles)and fluctuation-driven spatial patterns (quasi-patterns). We will also show how such a system of interacting neural populations can be made to self-organize to a state near the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, if the coupling constants(synaptic weights) are activity-dependent, and follow approximately, a generalization of the Vogels et al. version of spike-time dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP).

|Suspect Had Drugs Hidden in Spray Bottle
Newark- A suspected drug dealer was arraigned today following his arrest yesterday afternoon by
At that time, the BON detectives observed a white Nissan Sentra occupied by a male, later identified as Jorge Jiminez, age 22 of
When the sheriff's BON detectives moved in to further investigate Jiminez attempted to toss a spray bottle onto the floor of his vehicle. The spray bottle was found to have a false bottom which contained 75 plastic bags of 'crack' cocaine.
Jimenez was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of CDS with intent to distribute. The suspect was also issued summonses for being an unlicensed driver and for transporting narcotics in a motor vehicle.
At today's arraignment, Judge Arthur Baptista ordered Jiminez held at county jail in lieu of $85,000 bail.

Council will meet at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers of Borough Hall, 100 S. Second St. The meeting is open to the public.
According to the preliminary agenda, council will discuss the PLRB opinion regarding the suspension of a local firefighter and union president, then authorize officials to proceed with recommendations.
On Jan. 30, the PLRB released its proposed decisions and orders stating that Chambersburg Fire Department Capt. Patrick R. Martin, who also serves a president of the Greater Chambersburg Area Paid Fire Fighters IAFF Local 1813, was found not to have violated labor statutes when he sent a letter to IAFF union members, reminding them of union bylaws.
The board also found that the borough was, in fact, in violation of Pennsylvania's labor statutes when officials suspended Martin for 240 working hours - 10 days - for sending the letter.
Provided the borough does not file any exceptions, the order will become final in 20 days and the borough will have to meet several orders, which include rescinding Martin's suspension.
"The borough solicitor will be evaluating the preliminary opinion to determine what objections, if any, might need be filed with respect to this case," Borough Manager Jeffrey Stonehill said in a previous report.
In other business, council will also hear a presentation from PIRHL Developers and Interfaith House Alliance about a potential redevelopment project and funding requests related to the Southgate Shopping Center and former County Market building.
Chambersburg Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposal on Tuesday and recommended it to council for consideration.
The plan includes tearing down the former County Market building and adding 40 more housing units, which will be similar to the senior housing complex currently at the shopping center.
According to the plans, at least one member of the household must be 64 or older to qualify for the housing, which will include single-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
If everything goes as planned and is approved by the proper authorities, the proposed complex will be at qualified occupancy by August 2015, officials said.

JOHNSON COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - Three people in Johnson County are behind bars on meth charges.
Police say they got a tip that someone was making meth at a home in Hager Hill.
When they got there they say they found Jeffrey Laudermilt, Christina Price, and Michael Wright in possession of meth and meth precursors including a one step bottle and HCL generator.
"We have been getting more calls on it, and we ask the public that if anybody thinks they know of a potential meth lab or somebody cooking meth to call us. This was a call that came into State Police post here in Pikeville," said Trooper Shaun Little.
All three are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine.

"Imagining myself enjoying new cheese even before I find it, leads me to it." –Spencer Johnson
Things are certainly changing fast in our industry these days, and bankers may not fully recognize a certain unseen hand at their Cheese Station. While most bankers are well-versed in the impact of the Durbin amendment on large banks, there are market forces at play right now that will dramatically affect the unregulated issuers as well. Unless bankers take action now, it won't be long before they are all saying, "Who Moved My Interchange!?"
Through our mother ship Cornerstone Advisors, I work within the depths of the debit card industry on a daily basis. April 1 has come and gone and the deadline of the Durbin Network Exclusivity rule has gone into effect. If you're not completely familiar with the Network Exclusivity rule, let's do a quick exercise to see if your debit card is compliant. It's all about the brand (logo on the front) and bugs ("Service Mark" logos on the back). Go ahead, grab it out of your wallet and take a look. If:
- You have a VISA logo on the front and ONLY an Interlink bug – you are not compliant. You can have Interlink plus others, or a single bug so long as it's not Interlink.
- You have a MasterCard logo on the front and ONLY a Maestro bug – you are not compliant. You can have Maestro plus others, or a single bug so long as it's not Maestro.
That's the bottom line in Durbin's market competition experiment, and, as one might imagine, the last couple of months have been very exciting in the card world. The intent of this Durbin rule is idealistic indeed in trying to break up the duopoly that exists in the United States today. However, unintentional consequences of government intervention are striking yet again. I have seen more activity in the last three months with interchange schedules than in the history of plastic cards. Of course, these schedules can slip right by trusting bankers if they are not careful. Visa and MasterCard are not taking this lying down. Big surprise right? If bankers take a step back and think about the market forces at play behind the scenes it is a bit scary. The end game result is that unregulated interchange is about to bottom out. Here's a summary of the key players in the game that explains why:
- Visa and MasterCard – These guys are all about merchant fees and transaction volume. Both of these vendors are coming out with new merchant fees to replace some of their lost revenues. Visa has a trio of fees that went into effect on April 1, 2012: the Transaction Integrity Fee, a revision of the Network Acquirer Processing Fee, and the Fixed Acquirer Network Fee. MasterCard will be coming out with a new Annual License and Registration Fee, and look for those to take effect in July 2012. A topic of special interest is that Visa has found a loophole to protect its PIN transaction volume and is coming out with a new PIN Authenticated Debit (PAVD) interchange schedule. PAVD has been around for quite a while but has typically not been a conversation piece due to low usage and high decline rates. Word on the street is that the new PAVD interchange is lower than current PIN POS interchange rates, enough that PAVD will take significant volume away from the PIN POS networks and thus have a major negative impact on our interchange revenue. Yikes!
- PIN POS Networks – This group (NYCE, PULSE, ACCEL, STAR, Shazam, Jeanie, etc.) are wise to the big boy games. They have been very busy keeping their finger on the pulse of the market releasing unscheduled updates to their interchange schedules at an atypically fast pace. This group's primary motivator depends on maintaining their transaction volumes. Right now they are launching counteroffensive strikes through interchange updates and are doing their best to keep both merchants and issuers happy. These networks are reducing their interchange in order to compete against and protect their revenue streams from PAVD. One might say that they are trying to soften the blow of the upcoming battle with Visa by ramping up their efforts over several months. They now support four interchange schedules that are unregulated, regulated, exclusive and non-exclusive. None of them will call their schedules exclusive for fear of the Durbinator. The most significant changes are occurring on the unregulated exclusive and non-exclusive schedules.
- Merchants – The happiest group of all in the interchange ecosystem. This group has been lobbying for years to get this outcome and they are clearly going to see more cheese flow back into their stations. I am a pretty positive person, but have serious doubts my groceries will get cheaper soon. The merchants are doing as they have done over the last 20-some years. When offered a choice of networks, they are going to send a transaction on the network with the smallest interchange rates, thus minimizing their cost of doing business. Obviously not happy about the new fees the brands are introducing, very few merchants can stop accepting Visa or MasterCard in fear of customer retaliation. Some of the largest merchants are even negotiating unpublished special interchange rates.
- Issuers – It's fair to say bank and credit union issuers have remained ticked since Durbin moved their cheese. Banks have been scrambling to work on compliance, and now the unregulated schedules are going to get beat up. It is up to each of us to be as diligent as Sniff and Scurry and to not repeat the mistakes of Hem and Haw.
So with Visa making changes to take volume from the PIN networks and the PIN networks reducing interchange to compete with the big boys, we are going to see an Interchange race to the bottom. It's impossible to grasp where the bottom is at this point. To put it into perspective, though, let us say that we do 250,000 PIN transactions per month and our average gross interchange reduces by 4 cents across 50% of our transactions. That's $5,000 a month in revenue that just evaporated. The one thing I can be sure of is that there will continue to be a lot of moves in the near future and these moves are out of our control. It's an exciting time indeed to be in the cards sector. We as issuers simply have no power over these guys to stop it. However, in the nature of Sniff and Scurry there are things we should all be doing now to protect our interests in this race:
- Establish a Payments P&L – simply keeping a close eye on your interchange and arming yourself with information will tell you when to zig or zag. Formulating and having a strategy in place for this event will be precious. As my good mentor GI Joe always tells me, "Knowing is half the battle."
- Analyze and Optimize your Interchange – interchange today represents a large portion of our business. If you haven't taken a hard look at what your interchange is today versus what it could be, now is the time.
- Put the Brakes on Your Race to the Bottom – banks and credit unions can lock in things such as network membership, switch fees and processing costs through the negotiation process with vendors. While we cannot gain complete control over all of the levers at play here, there are some that we can exert influence over that will make a difference to the bottom line.
It's hardly exaggeration to say your bank's payment revenue is under attack and being rattled by a bizarre molting period right now. Banks can't be caught flat footed with all these variables in play. Taking the time and effort to position yourself today could very well put you in an advantageous position tomorrow. So go – "Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old." (Spencer Johnson)

Little girls who dream of having breakfast with their favorite Disney princess can have the opportunity while helping some high school students fulfill their dreams as well.
Lebanon High School students in Marketing Business Academy and Distributive Education Clubs of America will have the third annual Character Breakfast on Nov. 3 from 9-11 a.m. at the school for girls ages 2-9.
According to MBA advisor Jennifer Allen, girls attending are encouraged to dress as their favorite Disney character and have breakfast with Disney princesses. The princesses will also describe their character traits and why each is important.
"My girls loved the character breakfast," said Jennifer Cothran, Lebanon High School assistant principal. "It was a wonderful experience, and we will be returning this year. The students were incredible with the little girls. My daughters thought they had met the real Cinderella."
The event will feature a parade of princesses, pictures with the princesses and the younger girls learning character traits from the older girls. Allen said some of the characters and traits involved would be Belle, who is intelligent, loyal, kind and patient; Cinderella, who is patient, kind, resilient and obedient; Snow White, who is gentle, faithful, loving and kind; and Ariel, who is honest, loyal, friendly and adventurous.
She said girls should expect a fun-filled morning that also includes games, a cake walk and more.
Advance tickets are $5 and can be bought Saturday morning from 8-10 a.m. at Lebanon High School cafeteria. Checks to the attention of Allen or Sherry Buchanan can also be mailed to the high school with tickets available at will call. Admission at the door on the day of the event will be $10 each. Everyone attending will be required to pay for a ticket, but those under 1 year old will be admitted free.
The MBA-DECA students will use the Character Breakfast as their single sales-service activity for the DECA Written Event-Learn and Earn Project to be presented at the state conference in March.

The 75-year-old Dustin Hoffman went behind the camera for 'Quartet.'
- Filed Under
Dustin Hoffman is the first to admit he can be tough on directors. While he's enjoyed great collaborations with helmers including Mike Nichols ("The Graduate") and John Schlesinger ("Midnight Cowboy," "The Marathon Man"), he's rubbed others the wrong way with a desire to continually pick scenes apart.
But when Hoffman finally made the move to the other side of the camera on "Quartet," his perfectionist streak came in handy.
Actress Pauline Collins, who co-stars in "Quartet," says Hoffman was both a "dynamo and a darling" on the set. ...

Welcome to Hybrid Theory, where we discuss all things hybrid in the World of Warcraft. Hybrid Theory is brought to you each week by columnist/blogger Alex Ziebart.
We've chit-chatted about the new Spell Power mechanic off and on, but we've never gone into serious detail about it yet. Why? Well, we didn't really know how it worked. We knew what it does but very few of us had a real hands-on experience with it. That has since changed.
Spell Power has done very very good things for the Hybrid classes, pretty much across the board. Obviously it will not drastically change Feral, Enhancement or Retribution, but it actually does add to those last two as well to some extent. Primarily it changes the Healing and Caster specs of the Hybrid classes, obviously. It brings back a lot hybridiness* to classes that... really haven't felt that way in quite awhile.
The way Spell Power works is that all +Damage and all +Healing are collapsed into one stat: Spell Power. Healing spells were rumored to just use 2x your Spell Power as its base, but that isn't really the case. Healing spells just generally use a higher coefficient than damaging spells. Say, Flash of Light will get a greater benefit than Scorch, both being spells with a 1.5 second cast time. There was a lot of worry that this change would gut some classes' healing numbers due to the transition over to the new system, but the consensus has actually been that most classes are putting out bigger healing numbers for one reason or another. Probably the coefficients are balanced in a way that they will have very little change (if any) and the higher numbers we're seeing are a result of things like Blessing of Light being folded into the base healing of Paladin heals.
In the short term, when we're looking at soloing and leveling, this has done some nice things. I won't post spreadsheets and charts displaying the DPS changes and things like that, but I can say that soloing in your healing gear has gotten much, much easier. It isn't ideal DPS gear, but it has become passable, much moreso than it was. At the same time, your DPS gear has become passable Healing gear, though again not ideal.
Now, my situation is not going to be identical to everyone's since my DPS gear is largely from Sunwell Plateau, but I disenchanted my mostly T6 Healing gear shortly after logging my Priest onto the beta realms, because my DPS gear was basically just as good for healing 5-man dungeons. There was no reason to have two sets. It functions just fine both as Healing gear and DPS gear. It wasn't ideal for both roles, but it was more than enough. In my damage gear and specced Holy, I still managed to crit a Greater Heal for nearly 13,000, because all of the Spell Damage I used to have is now working at a coefficient equal to if it were +Healing. Of course, +Healing isn't the only stat you need as a Healer, but the point is my damage gear doubled as Healing gear just fine.
Another thing this has done is provide options. For example, a quest that takes place in the Nexus offers Mantle of Keristrasza or Cloak of Azure Lights. Both cloaks can be used by certain classes for certain specs, not just healing and not just DPS. There isn't just one DPS cloak and one Healing cloak. One of them is probably better suited to your spec, but the other may be better suited to your personal playstyle. That's fine. You have more choices available to you now.
Does this choice mean more casters and healers will make poor gear choices and roll on things they probably shouldn't in dungeons? Well... yeah, unfortunately. Anytime you give people choices many of them will make the wrong ones. However, overall, I think it's turning out to be a pretty good thing, especially for healers. My Shaman in Karazhan gear managed to solo through the newbie zones of Northrend specced Ele in Resto gear without any hitches. When I upgraded pieces of gear, I didn't need to worry whether or not I needed to save what I replaced for X spec of Y situation. I vendored it and moved on with life.
In the long term this choice will, as always, disintegrate a little bit come raiding. Only if you raid hardcore, though. Hardcore is another nebulous term, but let's pretend we're on the same page, eh? In a 'hardcore' progression guild, there's always going to be a gearset that is ideal for your spec. That's just the nature of gaming. Perfection. The freedom that Spell Power gives you in choosing your gear will largely fade away. But you know, that's fine. It's no big deal, really. It's still a huge boon to Healers and Casters alike, especially the ones of the Hybrid variety.
Oh, you Melee DPS guys? You guys with AP to Spell Power talents? It's not just your Shocks and Judgements that are getting a fun little boost, no sir. My Ret Paladin is having quite a lot of fun owning face and then healing herself up with Sheath of Light goodness. Delicious.
*It's in my dictionary, why isn't it in yours?

Press Release
State of Maryland

DPSCS, Federal Partners Continue to Weed out Corruption at BCDC
TOWSON, MD (November 21, 2013) – Today's indictments of 15 additional current and former DPSCS employees are the next step of a coordinated anti-corruption process which began in 2010, after Secretary Gary Maynard made sweeping leadership changes within the pretrial system, installing a new commissioner and other top executive staff. This includes the formation of critical federal, state, and local law enforcement partnerships. These efforts led to the formation of the Maryland Prison Task Force, and sweeping operational and security changes at the Baltimore City Detention Center (BCDC), which today continue to make corruption and illegal activity increasingly more difficult.
Of the 15 indicted, 14 are, or have been correctional officers and one is a contractual canteen worker. Eight of the officers are former employees, no longer with the Department. Six are current employees. The six have been placed on administrative leave without pay.
Upon completion of an initial assessment of pretrial and BCDC operations in 2010, the Department reached out to our federal partners and began sharing information about activities inside the jail. That year-long discussion led to the January 2011 formation the MD Prison Task Force, comprised of the U.S. Attorney's Office, U.S. Marshal's Service, FBI, DPSCS, and Baltimore City Police. The Task Force investigation ultimately led to the indictments of 13 correctional officers for their alleged role in contraband smuggling. Nine of them have since pleaded guilty.
Today, BCDC is run by a new management team. DPSCS has increased security and investigative measures to stop the influx of contraband, and maximized intelligence gathering capabilities to go after corruption within the jail. The result is that contraband is at an all-time low since tracking began in 2010. The introduction of contraband was driven down by 51% YTD through October 2013, as compared to the same time period last year.
DPSCS has continued to build alliances to go after illegal activity. The City Correctional Investigative Unit---a partnership between DPSCS, the State's Attorney's Office, and MD State Police---was formed specifically to fight corruption at the jail and other city-based institutions. They are assisted by a completely revamped Internal Investigative Unit (IIU), which today has strengthened DPSCS intelligence and investigation efforts, streamlining them into a single unit. IIU's ranks are now expanding by 91%, including new intelligence, investigation, and support staff.
Other security improvements at BCDC include technology investments into an upgraded video surveillance system with 234 high-definition cameras with 45-day digital recording capability, and a $4 million investment into a state-of-the-art Managed Access cell phone signal interception system which prohibits the use of contraband cell phones – a major driver of smuggling at BCDC. In addition, today, all visitors are scanned through a real-time digital fingerprint reading system to check for criminal history.
Jail leadership is now making at least 30 daily computerized random intensive searches of both staff and detainees on each shift, as well as targeted facility searches three times daily, once per shift. The entire facility is searched once a week. BCDC now uses rotational entry screening teams from other facilities at entrance points, rotating every 30 days, and K-9 and Special Operations Group utilization has increased.
Together, these efforts are making it increasingly difficult for both gangs and corrupt staff to operate inside the State's Baltimore City correctional complex.
Additional information on the security efforts at BCDC can be found here.

Southern Pacific Resource Corp. (TSX: STP, Stock Forum) fell 29% to 8.5 cents Thursday after the company said it has wrapped up a strategic review process that began in December 2013 ollowing a realization that the original 12 well pairs drilled at the STP-McKay Thermal Project were unlikely to fill the process facility to design capacity of 12,000 bbl/d and that more workovers on the existing pairs as well as the addition of new pairs would be required.
According to the news release, the company brought in RBC Capital Markets to act as a strategic advisor and in March 2014, the company completed the first lien debt facility which improved its cash liquidity.

Visiting the farm of the son of a California migrant farm worker near Los Banos Calif., on Friday, President Barack Obama promised drought aid to all parts of the state, but also called on Californians to unite to fight climate change.
Also on Friday, a spokeswoman for Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack confirmed that local Farm Service Agency offices will begin accepting disaster applications from livestock producers on April 15. Vilsack noted Thursday that Obama had directed USDA to expedite the disaster programs by implementing them in 60 days rather the usual six to eight months it usually takes to write regulations.
DTN's update earlier this week on livestock disaster programs in the farm bill can be viewed here: http://dld.bz/…
The White House released a transcript of Obama's remarks, and the White House traveling press corps reported pool accounts of the day.
After walking and surveying the fields of farmer Joe Del Bosque and his wife, Maria, Obama noted that Del Bosque had started in farming by telling landowners that he would offer to grow cantaloupes on their land, as long as they paid him for what he produced, and that this led to his farm that now grows,cantaloupes, almonds and cherries.
But on Friday, Obama and Del Bosque surveyed fields that did not have the asparagus shoots, almonds or melons they should have because they have not gotten water.
Obama said Del Bosque told him that there are three things that make farming work in California: "soil, water, and people."
In addition to the family's precarious situation, people who are dependent on sales from his farm, including seasonal workers, will be without work or incomes this summer if there is no water.
"As anybody in this state could tell you, California's living through some of its driest years in a century," Obama said.
"Right now, almost 99% of California is drier than normal. While drought in regions outside the West is expected to be less severe than in other years, California is our biggest economy, California is our biggest agricultural producer, so what happens here matters to every working American, right down to the cost of food that you put on your table."
Obama then announced the livestock disaster and conservation aid. The president also waded into congressional drought aid politics, calling the bill that California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and Rep. Jim Costa, all Democrats, had developed "outstanding," and declaring that he hopes
"Congress considers the legislation that they have crafted soon."
Obama did not mention a bill that passed the Republican-dominated House that would allow California an exemption from certain environmental regulations and that his advisers said they would recommend he veto.
Obama then switched to the topic of climate change.
"Let's make sure that we're getting some short-term relief to folks, but also long-term certainty for people who are going to be harmed by this drought," he said.
"These actions will help, but they're just the first step," Obama said.
"We have to be clear: A changing climate means that weather-related disasters like droughts, wildfires, storms, floods are potentially going to be costlier and they're going to be harsher. Droughts have obviously been a part of life out here in the West since before any of us were around and water politics in California have always been complicated, but scientific evidence shows that a changing climate is going to make them more intense."
"What does all this mean?" Obama asked, and then answered his own question.
"Unless and until we do more to combat carbon pollution that causes climate change, this trend is going to get worse. And the hard truth is even if we do take action on climate change, carbon pollution has built up in our atmosphere for decades. The planet is slowly going to keep warming for a long time to come. So we're going to have to stop looking at these disasters as something to wait for; we've got to start looking at these disasters as something to prepare for, to anticipate, to start building new infrastructure, to start having new plans, to recalibrate the baseline that we're working off of."
"Everybody, from farmers to industry to residential areas, to the north of California and the south of California and everyplace in between, as well as the entire Western region are going to have to start rethinking how we approach water for decades to come," Obama added.
When he went with a group of Californians to discuss the drought, the president said "We can't think of this simply as a zero-sum game."
"It can't just be a matter of there's going to be less and less water so I'm going to grab more and more of a shrinking share of water. Instead what we have to do is all come together and figure out how we all are going to make sure that agricultural needs, urban needs, industrial needs, environmental and conservation concerns are all addressed. And that's going to be a big project, but it's one that I'm confident we can do."
Obama said that his own climate action plan had been designed to protect critical sectors of the economy, noting that the Agriculture Department has announced seven new climate hubs to help farmers and ranchers adapt their operations to a changing climate.
One hub is located at the University of California at Davis, he pointed out.
Obama said the fiscal year 2015 budget he will send to Congress will include funding for new technologies to help communities "prepare for a changing climate."
In the town hall meeting, he said, "not everybody agreed on anything except people did agree that we can't keep on doing business as usual. That's what people did understand — that there has to be a sense of urgency about this."
California has the advantage, Obama said, of being on the cutting-edge with technologies such as drip irrigation.
"Already you use water far more efficiently than you did decades ago," Obama said. "You do it smarter. "
In conclusion, Obama said "I want to make sure that every Californian knows —whether you're NorCals, SoCal, here in the Central Valley — your country is going to be there for you when you need it this year."
"But we're going to have to all work together in the years to come to make sure that we address the challenge and leave this incredible land embodied to our children and our grandchildren in at least as good shape as we found it."
Obama flew from Washington to Fresno and then took a helicopter to the San Luis District Water Facility for a roundtable with community leaders.
As the helicopter landed, the dryness was dramatized by a huge wind from the rotors that covered waiting reporters with dirt, according to the White House pool report. After the meeting he went on the farm tour.

Blue light recklessness to continueComment on this story
Drivers of vehicles equipped with blue lights can drive as recklessly as they please and little is being done to change this.
Amendments to the National Road Traffic Act, which outlines the use of blue lights by emergency personnel, were gazetted in July, but have not yet been presented to Parliament.
Section 58 of the act states that no one may exceed the speed limit or disregard road signs, unless they are employed by the SAPS, traffic police or emergency services.
While the amendments now do restrict such services "provided that he or she shall drive the vehicle concerned with due regard to the safety of other traffic", this does little to stop these drivers from behaving recklessly on the road.
Several high-profile blue-light cases have been reported, including that of Thomas Ferreira, who was left brain-damaged after such a vehicle knocked him off of his motorbike in November 2011.
Howard Dembovsky, chairman of the Justice Project SA (JPSA), said: "They seem to be under the impression that they can switch on their lights and drive like a bat out of hell. That's not what the law says.
The JPSA has been calling for speed restrictions for blue-light cars.
Dembovsky said blue-light cars should not exceed the speed limit by more than 30km/h on urban roads, 40km/h on freeways, and 15km/h when going through red lights or stop streets.
He also said a clause should be included that fully details that the use of these cars can only be used in an emergency, although the word "emergency" was likely be abused.
The ministry of police said it was not in its power to change the law regarding blue-light vehicles.
"If a (traffic) light shows green, we can't change it to orange," said spokesman Zweli Mnisi. -The Star

Game commissioners come out in opposition to merger
TribLIVE Sports Videos
HARRISBURG — It's official: The state legislature is once again going to explore the idea of merging the Pennsylvania Game and Fish and Boat commissions.
But game commissioners don't like it, as they made clear at their work group meeting in Harrisburg on Monday.
The state House of Representatives, by a 197-0 vote, last week voted to adopt House Resolution 129. Sponsored by Potter County Republican Martin Causer, the chairman of the House Game and Fisheries Committee, it directs the legislative budget and finance committee to "investigate the financial feasibility, impact, costs and savings potential of eliminating duplicated duties and services by combining the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to create a new independent agency responsible for managing the fish and wildlife resources of this Commonwealth."
Pennsylvania is the only state with separate fish and wildlife agencies.
Game commissioners Monday, though, said they want to remain independent and adopted a resolution of their own, "reaffirming" their commitment to the idea.
It wasn't easy. Board members wrangled for the better part of an hour over the exact wording of the resolution and over to whom to send it.
Executive director Carl Roe suggested sending it to the General Assembly at large and to Gov. Tom Corbett's administration since all would be involved in "the final process of any merger."
The board ultimately decided to send its resolution first to the chairman of the House and Senate game and fisheries committees. Things will take of themselves form there, some said.
"I think the word will get out. The point is, we're opposed to it," said commissioner Ron Weaner of Adams County.
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat commissioners adopted a similar anti-merger resolution of their own in April.

"Elementary, my dear Watson!"(Phrase Origins)
does not occur as such in any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, although Holmes does exclaim "Elementary" in "The Crooked Man", and says "It was very superficial, my dear Watson, I assure you" in "The Cardboard Box". The first recorded juxtaposition is in the 1929 film _The Return of Sherlock Holmes_ (the first Holmes film with sound). The original stories never mention an Inverness cape, a deerstalker hat, or a meerschaum pipe, either. Those props are due to illustrators and to actors.

He Tweeted What?
May 5, 2011 - Kim Collette
All that has been on any football fans mind lately has been the NFL lockout. That was until a few days ago when a certain tweet became very, very public. Pittsburgh Steeler Rashard Mendenhall is definitely in some hot water. Apparently after seeing U.S. citizens celebrate Osama bin Laden's death, he tweeted, "What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never heard speak. We've only heard one side..." He followed that text up with, "We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style...."
Yes, we live in America and have all the freedoms and liberties that go along with being citizens. I fully understand that we all have the right to our own opinions and the right to express them. I facebook. I twitter. I blog. However, I know what is appropriate to put out on the internet and what is not. (And I am not a public figure whose every move is watched). While I believe that Rashard Mendenhall has every right to feel the way he does. I do think that he is in the wrong expressing it on twitter. He must remember that he is not only representing himself, but the Steelers organization and the NFL.
9-11 and the period that followed was a very dark and scary time for Americans. It brought the country together. Bin Laden's death has accomplished that very same thing. Only now we are rejoicing the justice that has been served. Mendenhall has basically made a mockery of the unity of the United States.
Apparently Mendenhall has also tweeted about the fans booing him when he fumbles only to turn around and cheer him for a good run. Guess what.......it's only going to get worse now. In fact.....wait until you go to Cleveland!
Until next time friends!

I know I have PCOS so I know what a cyst feels like but I have been having pains in lower right side. I know cysts are common with the iud but this doesn't feel like a cyst. It's like a pinchy painful poke in my right side every time I move or breath. Has anyone else had this? Did it end up being nothing or was it really bad? I called my doctor and I go in later today but I'm just curios if anyone else has had the same problem?

you have PCOS and you were allowed to get mirena? I thought that was a no go

Taylor: Is it time to give up on Roy, Garrett or Marty B?
Dallas Morning News columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor answered your Cowboys and Mavericks questions this week.
Was Jerry right to not call out Roy Williams to the media: "Here's the deal on that: Everyone in the world is kicking Roy's butt. Why does Jerry need to come out and kick it too? What purpose would that serve? Jerry needs him to contribute this year. The best way to do that is by building him up — not tearing him down. We haven't had the draft or free agency or any minicamps. Let's see how this thing plays out in the summer when they put the pads on."
What is it going to take for Jerry Jones to dump Jason Garrett: "Garrett was terrific in 2007 and awful in 2008. He was good last year. You can't look at the Cowboys' offense and say it wasn't improved, but there's still work to be done. Garrett is a smart guy. There's no reason to think he wouldn't improve and continue to improve as an OC. To me, he needs to work on protections and the running game more than anything else. I concede the toss to Marion Barber was a stupid call, but I don't normally get caught up in plays. When they work, they're good. When they don't, they're bad. I look more at the overall production, which was good. Still, you can't have four games with one touchdown or less. I'd give him a B-minus last year. No one gets fired for a B-minus."
Is Martellus Bennett a lost cause or is there hope: "Still too early to tell. Bennett has immense potential and talent. He's just not ready to maximize yet. Maybe one day, he'll wake up and decide to be great. It happens in everyday life all of the time. My sister, much smarter than I, bounced around doing nothing for about a decade. Then she decided at about 30 what she wanted to do. So she went back to school, finished her undergrad degree and got full rides to pursue her Master's and PhD. Some folks just mature at different rates."

text: The unwelcome spread of ultraviolence Wired Blog 24 July 09 by James Berrill Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment / Deadline Games Watchmen "punishes the audience", Zack Snyder told The Guardian this week, publicising its DVD release. Having seen it in the cinema earlier this year, I'd have to agree, though not from the "intellectual standpoint" intended by the director. It's two and a half hours of bludgeoning, the deafening thud of fists, feet and weapons far louder than any of the dialogue. For me, this is where Watchmen went wrong, and it highlights a growing trend in cinema: ultraviolence.The triumph of Alan Moore's graphic novel was its subtlety. The violence is less explicit, and as Christopher Nolan showed with The Dark Knight, implied violence is far more effective and disturbing. What sets Watchmen apart from films like Sin City and Snyder's 300, both of which revelled in upping the on-screen violence, is that such violence was not present in its source material. One of the impressively few things Snyder changed from the original was how Rorschach deals with a child kidnapper. Unfortunately it is this scene that emphasises the differing approach of the text and the film. In the former, Rorschach handcuffs his victim to a boiler and places a saw in front of him before dousing the area in kerosene. He leaves with the chilling words, "Shouldn't bother trying to saw through handcuffs. Never make it in time." From the street, he impassively watches the building burn. In the film, Rorschach handcuffs the kidnapper and embeds a cleaver in his skull. Sure, it leaves an impression on the viewer, but it adds a passion to Rorschach when it was his calmness that made the original so memorable.It was only when chatting about the film with a friend as we left the cinema that the true failing of the reliance on ultraviolence became apparent. She had never read Moore's novel and came with no prior knowledge of it. The result of bone-crunching sound effects and the sight of missed punches smashing through walls and other surfaces was that she thought that Nite Owl II, Silk Spectre II and co had superpowers. The fact that they were ordinary people operating as costumed vigilantes was key to the graphic novel. As with so many films, the ultraviolence ends up undermining Watchmen rather than adding anything meaningful or enjoyable. In the place of subtlety and creativity, there is only a reliance on supposed shock value. But ultraviolence is no longer shocking, just repetitive.I have always been a great fan of Quentin Tarantino's work, but the long-awaited Inglorious Basterds looks as though it, too, has succumbed to the draw of ultraviolence. Hopefully it will retain the lightness and humour seen in Kill Bill, but I fear it will degenerate into the kind of grim torture-fest normally associated with one of its stars, Eli Roth. It would be a great shame if Watchmen marks the point where ultraviolence is intentionally added into films in the hope of imitating previous successes. Edited by Holden Frith Comments Your point that "Watchmen" is a pretty boneheaded and graceless interepretation of the source material is a valid one but this is something I'd attribute to Zack Snyder being a terrible, lowest common denominator director rather than some kind of crumbling of society's moral fabric.The last paragraph of your post reads like something out of the Daily Mail circa 1983 ("Ban the sadist videos!", etc). I could happily write this off as outdated prudish hysteria if I thought you were some kind of Mary Whitehouse type but you then go on to say Quentin Tarantino - easily the most violent director working in mainstream film - is one of your favourites; a baffling double standard.Unfortunately the line of thinking you're promoting with a post like this only has one logical end and that's that the adult public are not intelligent enough to handle violent films and that therefore such films should be banned (or worse yet never made). Let us not forget that Tarantino's debut feature ("Reservoir Dogs") was banned in the UK on initial release because our Classification Board deemed its violence (and - need I remind you? - this included a prolonged torture scene) to be too extreme and amoral, therefore unsuitable for our consumption.Luckily, the BBFC have eased up a lot since then but a longing to return to such dark times is certainly not something I'd want to see promoted on the blog of a supposedly futurist magazine?

Colin and Gayle both had one child each when they married, and are now parents to another six children. The family lives in Adelaide, South Australia.
Colin'Gayle and I married 15 years ago now. I have a son, Jason, from a previous marriage, and my wife had a daughter, Fiona, from her previous marriage. When we got together, she became a stepmother and I became a stepfather. Then we had six children of our own, including a set of twins.
'My son was about five and my stepdaughter was about four when we got together. That was a good age for children to adjust quickly to the situation – I think it can be a lot more difficult for step-parents when the children are teenagers and the parents get together. My son lived with us full-time for about 12 months when he was about eight or so, but other than that, he's mostly lived with his mum. He was here pretty much every weekend and most of the holidays until he moved interstate, then he just came on school holidays.
'There are a lot of different issues to do with being a step-parent. For me, these are to do with my ex-wife causing a few problems within the new marriage, and a few to do with discipline.
'The question is, who is responsible for discipline? Should the step-parents play a role or should it be left up to the biological parent? Because my son stayed with his mum for the majority of the time, I made sure that I varied the discipline there. With my stepdaughter, my mistake was to come in too quickly and too hard as the step-parent. It's usually good for the step-parent to sit back and build a relationship with the child before starting with discipline.
'I think any step-parent these days can expect it to take anywhere up to seven years for the family to be functioning. Parents need to give it that time, to communicate, and don't try to be the super step-parent.
'In some ways I'm very fortunate because I'm the only dad my stepdaughter has really ever known. I very rarely use the term stepdaughter. She's my daughter and she has been since she was four years old. I think we've got a pretty good relationship and she's called me Dad from day one. My wife and my son might have had a few little problems, but overall, they have a good relationship as well.'
Myths about stepfamiliesOf all parent and family types, none have more stereotypes or myths associated with them than step-parents and stepfamilies – just think of the sugar-coated bliss of The Brady Bunch or the wicked stepmother in Cinderella! Here are some other stepfamily myths:
The myths above are taken from Gerrard, I., & Howden, M. (1998). Making stepfamilies work: A course for couples: Leaders manual. Melbourne: Stepfamilies Australia, p. 36.
Getting along
When they join a new family, children can find it difficult forming relationships with new parents and stepsiblings.
Much of this difficulty is related to understanding what other people are like and learning about differences in personality. As children don't always have the same understanding as adults – that people have good and bad points – they can often form judgments without getting to know the person properly, and might resist communication efforts until the other person has 'proven' themselves.
Children can feel jealous and angry when their biological parent shares time with stepsiblings or the new partner. This can be worse if the child is having trouble forming relationships within the new family. All family members are likely to have some difficulties adjusting and might feel insecure, disillusioned, jealous, helpless and lonely.
Living day to day
Children respond to routine and habits. If changes are made in the household, including simple everyday things such as the type of food eaten, expectations about housework or the amount of time spent with a parent or siblings, it can take some getting used to.
Extra stress
Emotional stress in a stepfamily can come from several sources. Both children and adults might be sad about the loss of their old family or closeness with a particular family member. As with other types of grief, this process can bring up many emotions such as anger, sadness and denial. Problems with money, particularly those related to a custody dispute, can also increase a parent's stress level, which can get in the way of forming new relationships with the children.
DisciplineSometimes step-parents, particularly stepfathers, can be confused about whether to take a role in disciplining stepchildren. This situation can be made more difficult when stepchildren resist or resent their new parent trying to be an active parent. Step-parents might respond to resistance from their stepchildren with increased negativity and might shut off from them. This can then put added stress on the relationship with the new partner.
Focus on building relationships
Perhaps the most important task in creating a happy stepfamily is building individual relationships.
Stepmothers and fathers can build trust and respect by developing a warm and involved relationship with children before becoming involved in discipline. Spending one-on-one time without the demands of other people helps with direct communication. Doing fun activities together – such as taking a walk or a bike ride, going on a special outing, going shopping or teaching a new skill – can show children the step-parent's good qualities. This sort of time together shows children their step-parent cares about them, not just their parent.
Ease into disciplineResearch suggests that easing into discipline is particularly effective for stepfathers.
While the relationship with the child develops, the father can support the mother's discipline, such as offering children an explanation for why they might be in trouble. Once trust and respect develops, stepfathers can take a more active parenting role. Stepfathers might need to spend some time adjusting to this role, particularly if they were in the 'provider' role in their previous relationship, rather than the care-giving role.
On the other hand, stepmothers fare best when they nurture their relationship with their partner and support the biological parents in their parenting role. When the stepmother takes on a more active role, she might find herself resented or rejected by the children.
Take time and don't expect too much too soonIn the case of all challenges faced by step-parents, the key is not to expect things to happen too quickly – getting to know other people can take years and you can't hurry the process. Both partners are doing something new and it can help if you can work out a strategy for the role each partner will play. Introducing gradual changes in day-to-day living can help ease the new family into place and make the transition for children much easier.

Starting at the Kloofnek parking area at 19h00 racers proceed to the top of Devils Peak. From there its back to the road and then up to the top of Table Mountain (Maclears Beacon). Exhausted competitors are not done yet though because runners still have to proceed down Table Mountain before heading up and down Lions Head. The total race distance is about 26km - with more than 1700m of climbing!
The event is extremely well organised with plenty of facilitators, snacks provided, and a strong emphasis on safety. There are some serious competitors who manage the whole event in around 4 hours, but there is a general fun atmosphere with many runners taking 7+ hours.

Our family loves Mexico and its colorful culture. I generally joke that I was Mexican in a former life. My home is decorated w/bright colors. :") Thank you so much for sharing the historical qualities of your experience. I loved reading about Mr. Wong, interesting stories there, I'm sure. I've read about the large Asian population in Mexico City. While we usually travel to Playa on the Yucatan, the country of Mexico and all its regions possess unique and beautiful historical charms. Thanks again.
You're welcome, AmyRuth. This was my first time to Mexico and I was instantly smitten. I can't wait to go back again. There is so much beauty there.
