Are You A Scared Silver Investor? [View article]
Well, we have hit $23, today, I do believe. While I realize the "$23 range" is somewhere between $21 and $24, hopefully Elliott Wave Analysis is also signaling a bottom, in the near future. Many others are fearful of $20 or less Silver, due to the dramatic wash out, this past few days. Since these crashes normally take at least 3 days, I'm waiting to see what tomorrow holds, before I jump back in. Kinda wishing I had shorted it, a week ago, though.

Silver: Last Chance For Immediate Breakout [View article]
Good article, as always, but the question arises: if silver fell to the $26 region, would you expect a quick "snap back" to the $29 and even $30 region? I have April, May and June Calls which - when I took them out - were a ways out. They no longer are. If we're going to fall to the $26 region and just "wallow" there, that's not going to be healthy.

How the Fed Could Fix The Economy -- And Why It Hasn't [View article]
1. You are essentially advocating printing money. Our fear remains that the money printing we are now engaged in will result in rampant inflation. The only thing that has saved us is that the other nations around the world are now following suit.
2. Worse yet, this money printing does nothing to promote sound economic policy or rational spending. What's to stop the U.S. government from spending all this money to its heart's delight to finance every imaginable grab bag and give away?
AND, if we can "just print money," then why are you not advocating an end to the tax system?

Silver: The 'Manipulator-In-Chief' Strikes Again [View article]
"This is an open market. You can buy calls or puts on SLV, GLD or any other ETF or stock you desire. If you truly think there is a higher force at work (other than the Divine), then figure out what would benefit that caartel, group or manipulator, and do exactly that."

More on FOMC minutes: Those expressing concern about the costs/risks from further asset purchases are upgraded to "many" from "several." A "number" said a close look at the data might well lead the FOMC to "taper or end" QE before a substantial improvement in the labor market occurred. "Several" argue the risks of ending too soon are also significant. Status quo for now, but the monetary law of the land can clearly no longer be called QE∞. [View news story]
1. Even the supporters of President Obama admit that, without continued multi-trillion dollar borrowing, a recession will occur. That's a candid admission we are living on borrowed money.
2. I'm horrified to say that the 1 March 2013 sequester will take place. It's not that I believe there should not be reductions in spending: quite the opposite. But this sort of budget cutting with an axe is not really "planning" that would create true "savings," only pile up and delay much-needed repairs, etc.
3. It's not at all clear that Congress can figure out the 27 March 2013 budget battle to avoid a government shut down.

Silver: A 26 Handle Is Not Out Of The Question [View article]
Ultimately, it's a free market and we can buy Calls or Puts in the options market. If critics truly believe the market is rigged, it's very simple: figure out how the "Cartel" is manipulating the market, and do what the "Cartel" is doing and do that, as well.

Is Austerity The Solution To USA's Problems? [View article]
So, here's a test for you, my Leftist friend: "Why did President Obama raise taxes on the rich? After all, wasn't that a BAD thing?" Taxes, after all, are simply another form of austerity. Ostensibly, it was to help pay down the debt or to avoid borrowing as much money to run our government.
Now, if you're truly committed to your argument, then President Obama did something as terrible as the Republican Party closing orphanages, killing the environment by shutting down the EPA, or any other "evil plot" they have in the name of austerity.
And the DoD? I presume you fear cuts in the Department of Defense, too????
Somehow, I'm guessing that you didn't oppose Obama's tax increases, OR his own efforts to cut back the Department of Defense, despite these "austere" measures. . . .
The truth is that those of us who favor a balanced budget and an end to the national debt are convinced that long-term, unending borrowing is far worse for the USA than taking the short-term pain of austerity. We fully acknowledge that an end to unlimited spending will cause a recession. We're willing to take that on, to avoid the Truly Great Depression.
If you believe your rhetoric, then buy dollars and sell precious metals. For my part, I will stick with Precious Metals, over the remainder of this decade. Darwinian economics suggests I have little to be concerned about, in this survival of the fittest.Feb 16, 2013. 01:28 PM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment

Who's Really Ignoring 47% Of Americans Today? [View article]
Even the $1 Trillion coin idea - which has now been shot down by the Fed - was an effort to look for ways for the President to "just do whatever the heck he wanted to do."
President Obama has already said he will not permit the debt ceiling discussions to be a discussion about whether Congress should pay for things it already agreed to. That's ridiculous for two reasons:
1. Congress can ALWAYS amend a budget, cut spending, or change its mind, during a fiscal year. This is what Congress would effectively be doing; and
2. Congress hasn't passed a budget in years: it's relying on "continuing resolutions." In August 2011, when the "fiscal cliff" was set up, there was supposed to be a $900 Billion spending cut over 10 years to serve as a down payment on deficit reduction. NOT ONE DIME was ever cut under the proposal. When Senator Rand Paul has raised the issue in the Senate, he and other Republicans were dismissively told, "Oh, well, we changed our minds."
If the debt ceiling talks are the only way we can finally force a debate on deficit reduction, then that's fine with me. It's a poor way "to run a railroad," but at this point, I and a lot of other people are looking for someone to simply run the railroad, before the wheels come off the tracks and we crash. - Jim Wherry, Fairbanks, AlaskaJan 13, 2013. 01:13 PM | 10 Likes |Link to Comment
Silver Is Set To Explode In 2013 [View article]
I've been worried about what I view as a coming recession. Poor Christmas sales, the fear of the Fiscal Cliff or the next debt ceiling, continued efforts by this government to tax and spend without end and to prevent jobs from returning to the USA by heaping new regulations on job creators - for many reasons, this economy looks like a recession in the making. Some would argue it never went away and it's just a "deepening depression," propped up by the Fed Credit Card of Eternal Borrowing.
In normal times, a recession would mean less inflation and that would be bad for precious metals. Hoarders might flock to Silver and Gold in a true "Great Depression, but overall industrial use of the metals would go down and Silver relies on this use more than Gold.
But in these times, a recession simply means more, endless, useless Qualitative Easing which has seemed to have a diminishing rate of returns, and more Endless Borrowing, which only underscores our failed economy and leads to further demise, as foreign importers obtain dollars and then use them to buy hard assets in the USA (like patents, or copyrights or factories) and then remove them overseas.
So, if we are headed into a recession, "What's a gal to do?" It may be a question of timing. Initial onset (worsening) in a recession will lead to panic selling. Hoarders only show up, when the future looks bleak, long term. If we are headed into a recession, shorting Silver, near term, may be the right answer, then planning to take it long-term.
The greater question for 2013 is WILL we fall into recession, this year? If we "kick the can down the road" and do nothing to stop the spending and borrowing madness, then we have one more good year of growth, left. Spending DOES have a stimulative effect, in the short term, after all.
But if Congress truly fails to solve the Fiscal Cliff and move to reduce budget deficits, this year, you should take it as a sign that Congress is NOT going to act to do so, in the next 2 years, and possibly while the President is still in office. If that's the case, Schiff may be right and collapse in 2015 may be a likely scenario.Dec 30, 2012. 06:59 AM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
Silver Is Set To Explode In 2013 [View article]Dec 30, 2012. 06:58 AM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment
My SINCERE thanks for your thoughtful responses and I appreciate the interest.
1. What I've tried to do in the past is to "Imagine if Silver went down to $26 from today's price. What would be the profit, if I bought a Put on SLV, as opposed to a Call on ZSL, assuming 2X of SLV by ZSL." The numbers just don't seem to add up on ZSL and AGQ's side because of the cost of the option.
2. One interesting thing, of course, is ZSL's outrageous profit, when SLV fell and AGQ's outrageous profit, when SLV soared, a few years ago. Go back to the 3-year or 5-year charts. The return on AGQ far exceeded a 2X profit, of course, and while SLV rose to $46, AGQ was out of sight at $180. Sorry, I don't have my charts in front of me, if I'm off. Because AGQ and ZSL are using options to create the 2X effect, you are - I think - buying an option on an option. At a certain point, a sudden, rapid rise in price, creates an exponential effect. I do bear in mind, though, that such rises and falls are unpredictable and rare.

Right now, I'm playing to butterflies, with half in Puts and half in Calls. Puts are placed in the near term for the Fiscal Cliff to buy them at a cheaper price. The Calls are farther away, and are really just "protection money," in case my guess or my timing is off.
The problem I have found with ZSL is that the options are TOO EXPENSIVE. Even if you imagine a multiplier of 2X, it's actually been cheaper to buy SLV options than to buy ZSL, when I've done price comparsions. Maybe I need to look harder, but check it out.
The big "fear" of those who sell options in ZSL is that, when it "pops," both AGQ and ZSL go BIG, exponentially rising or falling, so those who write options are reluctant to give a comparable price to SLV. I understand their concern, but I am a picky comparison shopper with limited amounts of money.
I would WELCOME an article (or love to write one) on this very issue: what is the better "value" for ETF's as between ZSL, SLV and AGQ, as well as some of the other Silver ETF's like ProShares turbo-charged ones.Dec 29, 2012. 11:54 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Gold And Silver To Join Stocks In Cliff Dive [View article]
1. Recessions are bad for precious metals. While they might seem a "safe haven," the PM's thrive on inflation, and we don't have that. No matter how much you and I decry fiat currencies, the Fed has seen to it that interest rates (and inflation) remain low. The Fiscal Cliff spells "recession" with a capital "R"!
2. Silver and Gold now seem to follow securities - which they should NOT be doing. It does seem the Fed has helped monetize the precious metals, and ETF's have turned them into securities. It is quite strange.
3. A Fiscal Cliff plunge presents an ENORMOUS "buying opportunity" in securities, let us not forget: some Silver owners (enough to tip the market) will sell their Silver to buy stocks at bargain prices on Wednesday morning, next week. That will escalate the sell off. And while the Gold Bugs and Silver Bulls love the metal ("it's mine: MY precious!"), investors large and small put far more money into stocks with which the media is more familiar.
4. A sudden flash correction will stun all those buyers that watch Fox News and see those commercials about how great Silver/Gold is. Think about it: I'm 47 years old. I've seen precious metals go UP and DOWN. In the past 5 years, do many current investors have that experience??? Silver and Gold have been "up, up and away!" for more than 6 years, now.
This will not be pretty.Dec 27, 2012. 03:35 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
I'm new to options, but have done quite well with them, and I am still learning. I prefer to buy in butterflies, purchasing both Calls and Puts. I am not interested in driving the market "up" or "down," because I win, either way.
I have faith in what can be trusted: the unwillingness of politicians to make hard decisions that will save this economy. Since I can't influence them, enough, I might as well profit from the misery they are going to inflict on this nation.Dec 26, 2012. 05:35 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

It is already known that neither Microsoft, nor, Sony will not charge a fee for buying and selling used disk.
E3 2013: Passion for DRM protection for new consoles PS4 and Xbox One
Although this applies only to games released in companies controlled by the studios, which means publishers releasing games for consoles will be free to decide such questions about their projects.
What will happen next is unclear, although the pressure of playing Community Hospital can not be discounted.
The other day, the executive director of the "EA" said that "this issue was not raised until even the domestic debate," even though the situation with the cancellation of "Online Pass" hinted to expect a "substitute" in the form of the coming of the DRM system on the new consoles. "We canceled the Online Pass. I was at the meeting. It does not resonate with consumers and was not user-friendly," says Moore. "It was a mistake. Feedback from customers has sent our solutions in a good direction, so let's forget about it."
However, despite the fact that direct answer is still no – "We will discuss it next week and face it. Necessary to analyze the information from our retail partners to find out what people think and say."
The hope of easing the pressure DRM is still there: "The position of EA with respect to the used game market is focused on the point of view of users and gamers," said at a meeting of investors in the E3 president, Gibo Frank (Frank Gibeau). "We have a positive view on the market for used games

Sign Language
Translation software deciphers billboards and street signs.
In our global economy, the ability to understand languages other than one's native tongue grows more important every day. That is why Jie Yang, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University, and his colleagues have created software that reads Chinese signs and quickly translates them into English using nothing more than a palm-size computer equipped with a small camera."If you're trying to get somewhere, it helps to be able to understand the signs around you," says Yang, who plans to develop translation modules for Japanese, Arabic, and Korean if funding is available. "There's a growing demand for products like this," he explains.
The seemingly simple task of interpreting street signs actually represents a bundle of problematic processes-from machine vision to character recognition-with which researchers in computer science and artificial intelligence have been struggling for years. Yang chose some of the most promising software solutions and squeezed them into a handheld Pocket PC device. His system starts by scanning an image for hard edges-a sign's borders. Next, it searches for cues such as contrasting, similar-size characters. Optical character recognition software "reads" the words, and other algorithms cluster them into plausible groupings.
Then comes the hard part: the actual translation. "Ambiguity is the biggest problem," says Alex Waibel, director of Carnegie Mellon's Interactive Systems Laboratory, where Yang is based. "Words can have so many different meanings in so many different languages in so many different situations." That's why a device that renders a literal translation can't always do the job. If a Chinese sign meaning "Please do not touch" were translated word for word, for example, it would say, "Please do not move hand."

"I'm here to pick up your horse."
This is what I heard when I opened the door the other day to a visitor. It was about as strange as it sounds, but not quite as out of the blue.
A few days earlier we arrived home to find a lump of clay, wrapped in gladwrap, along with an invitation to take part in a public art project, called The Stables. To commemorate the critical role that horses and stables have played in Erskineville's history (what that role is beats me… perhaps I'll need to check out the exhibition), the artist invited people to craft their own model of a horse and leave it for collection, firing, and display.
Erko is at times a pretty odd place. Exhibition starts along Erskineville Rd on Oct 11.
If you're wondering: we didn't make a horse.

He was the former Director of the University of TN, Knoxville, Dental Residency Program and was loved by his patients, former dental residents, and his fellow dentists and staff. Wayne never met a stranger and always made people smile.

Wayne lived his life to the fullest and loved his family and friends dearly. He had a saying, Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened, and he left this earth with no regrets. As his family, we will try to follow his example and keep close all the wonderful memories of our husband, father, Papaw, and brother.

Can you predict this year's Oscar winners?
Posted: February 08, 2013|
Win a year's free cinema going by choosing Leicestershire's Oscar winners. Nigel Powlson guides you through the favourites for the Academy Awards.
THE race is on to bag this year's Oscars with Steven Spielberg's Lincoln (12 nominations) and Ang Lee's Life of Pi (11 nominations) leading the way.
But not content with letting Hollywood decide who should win, Culture, city independent cinema Phoenix and www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk have got together to see what you think.
The annual Oscars ceremony takes place on February 24 and, before then, we want you to tell us who you think should take the honours in the big four Oscar categories.
We also have a Phoenix Golden Ticket to give away. To be in with a chance of winning a year's free cinema-going, tell us which film you think will walk away with Best Picture on the night.
Phoenix is screening all the major contenders in the run up to the awards night and film programmer Jake Harvey is enjoying the Oscar buzz.
He says: "It's quite difficult at a two-screen cinema to get all the big films in at this time of year, there are so many awards around – but we will do it."
Predicting the winners might prove even more difficult, especially as Jake thinks this year's vote will be more open than ever, with a spread of victors.
He says: "Lincoln and Life of Pi are certainly going to figure strongly – maybe Ang Lee for Best Director and Lincoln for Best Picture.
"The Best Actress award is the most interesting as we could see the youngest ever winner (Quvenzhane Wallis aged nine) or the oldest (Emmanuelle Riva, aged 85).
"But I think the award will go to Jessica Chastain for Zero Dark Thirty.
"In the Best Actor category my heart says Joaquin Phoenix delivered one of the great performances but I would go for Daniel Day-Lewis, because he's playing one of the most beloved American historical figures.
"Amour is the biggest outsider, for a foreign language film to figure so strongly is a surprise. It's not even a crowd-friendly film, certainly not an easy watch like The Artist last year. Amour destroys people, at Phoenix people were coming out of screenings devastated. But it got a Best Picture nomination, whereas The Impossible and Skyfall didn't. I also thought The Master would make it in as it did well in all the newspaper and magazine best of 2012 lists.
"The other surprise for me was that Hurt Locker director Kathyrn Bigelow wasn't nominated for Zero Dark Thirty – making it an all-male list again."
To vote, go to www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/oscarvote by February 23.
The Oscar nominations are:Picture: Amour, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty.
Director: Michael Haneke (Amour); Benh Zeitlin (Beasts of the Southern Wild), Ang Lee (Life of Pi); Steven Spielberg (Lincoln); David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook).
Actor: Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook); Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln); Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables); Joaquin Phoenix (The Master); Denzel Washington (Flight).
Actress: Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty); Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook); Emmanuelle Riva (Amour); Quvenzhane Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild); Naomi Watts (The Impossible).

Brazilian filmmaker Bruno Barreto directs this comic look at the world of flight attendants starring Gwyneth Paltrow as Donna, a small town Nevada woman who dreams of seeing the world by becoming a first class international stewardess. Lacking the requisite poise and class, Donna finds a mentor in retired trade veteran Sally (Candice Bergen), a wealthy, best-selling author who assists with advice and her considerable influence. Despite Sally's help, Donna finds the process of fulfilling her career ambitions more difficult than she imagined when she's betrayed by a trusted friend (Christina Applegate) during flight training, a daunting course taught by the bitter John Whitney (Mike Myers), a once-aspiring steward whose eye condition kept him forever out of the friendly skies. Donna also faces a romantic crisis when she falls for a handsome law student (Mark Ruffalo) whose education consigns him to Ohio, far away from the major urban hubs Donna dreams of working.

Niagara, NY (Sports Network) - Antoine Mason made only one field goal yet he
finished with a game-high 15 points, as the Niagara Purple Eagles grinded out
a 64-60 win over the Manhattan Jaspers in a Metro Atlantic Athletic
Association bout at the Gallagher Center.
Mason did his damage at the free-throw line, where he shot 13-of-16. Ameen
Tanksley added 13 points, Tahjere McCall scored 12, and T.J. Cline added 11
points off the bench, as the Purple Eagles (11-8, 7-1 MAAC) notched their
seventh straight conference victory to extend their best start in MAAC play
since 1998-99.
Mohamed Koita led the way with a career-high 13 points and five rebounds for
the Jaspers (5-13, 3-5), who have dropped four of their last five contests.
Shane Richards and C.J. Jones scored 10 apiece in the loss.
Niagara shot just 33 percent from the floor in the first half, although the
Purple Eagles went 21-of-27 at the foul line to grab a 37-32 halftime lead.
It was the same story in the second stanza, as Niagara made only five field
goals (.357) but out-scored Manhattan at the charity stripe, 17-8.
While the Purple Eagles found a way to score points despite a tough shooting
day, they also turned up the defensive pressure and forced Manhattan into 20
turnovers. Those 20 turnovers led to 26 points for the hosts.

Renewable energy in High Cold Deserts
Film 20 min. about a course at SECMOL in 2013 called the Apprenticeship on Sustainable Sanitation, Passive Solar Design, and Earth Building Construction
Video 2 min. SECMOL founder Sonam Wangchuk talking about solar energy.
Video 1 min. in Korean about SECMOL's solar cooker by a volunteer in 2011.
Ladakh is the northernmost region in the Jammu & Kashmir State of India. It can be called a 'Trans-Himalayan high altitude desert' with minimum temperature in winters -20°C to -35° and hardly any rainfall. Leh, the capital, is at 11,500 feet (3500m).
The cold climate of Ladakh demands heating, but lack of rainfall makes trees and firewood scarce. However, average 300 sunny days per year make this region especially suited for solar energy.
Since 1994 SECMOL has developed solar heated buildings and used other forms of solar energy to make its campus at Phey self-reliant.SOLAR POWER AT SECMOL PHEY CAMPUS
Our campus is almost completely solar powered. We use solar electricity for all our electrical and pumping needs. The campus has two solar cookers and solar water heaters for bathing. Most noteworthy are the campus buildings, which depend on passive solar heating to keep warm even in the coldest months of winter.
Solar panels
Four arrays of 16-24 panels each generate electricity for lighting, computers and TV. On sunny days we can even use carpentry and soldering tools. The power is stored in solar batteries for nights and cloudy days.
Solar cookers
Our kitchen uses two concentrating reflector-type solar cookers to cook much of our food directly on the sun's rays. They were assembled in 1997 by a group including SECMOL students at a local workshop under Swiss direction.
The cooker has a large parabolic reflector made of household mirrors, that focuses the rays of the sun to a secondary reflector under the pots inside the kitchen. This design gives energy equal to a large gas burner, and saves a lot of money while preserving the environment.
Solar cooker.
SECMOL solar water heater
For bathing we designed a very low cost solar water heater from basic materials easily available.
A great advantage of this design over expensive commercial models is that it has no pipes inside that can freeze and break, so it can be used all winter without draining. Since it is basically a large shallow tray, if it freezes overnight, nothing breaks, and in the sunny morning it simply melts and starts warming up again.
The bottom is a black tray that can hold two inches (5 cm) of water. It must be black to absorb the sun's light and convert it to heat, and can be made either of sheet metal bent up at the sides to form a tray, or black pond-liner plastic (tough and UV resistant).
We find that 3 feet (1 m) is a good maximum width to allow maintenance without walking on the base, and the tray can be as long as you have space and materials. Our are about 18 feet (5 m) long.
It is covered with a small plastic greenhouse. In the winter the one on the bathroom roof is inside an additional plastic greenhouse.
We fill it with water in the morning, and by 12 noon it makes 100 litres of 45°C water. Shallower will get hotter faster. A common toilet tank valve on the inlet pipe prevents overflow by automatically letting cold water in when warm water is drawn out, and cutting the supply when the water level reaches the desired height.
SECMOL buildings and passive solar design
SECMOL buildings are heated without emitting CO2, burning anything like firewood or gas, or electric heaters. The buildings are designed to absorb heat from the sun and to store it for as long as possible. This 'passive solar design,' is distinct from active designs which use circulating water pipes, air blowers, or moving parts. With passive solar design the SECMOL buildings have stayed warm and not needed any external heating in the last 15 years — even when the minimum outside temperatures falls to -25°C.
Running solely on passive solar heating, the temperature in the main building at SECMOL Campus has been:
Average evening temperature in winter: +14°C
In the main building at Phey Campus the stair wells have geranium and other plants blooming and flourishing even in January when the minimum outside temperature is -25°C.
The important features to keep the buildings warm are:
Windows and greenhouses to the south
In winter, huge plastic sheets come down and make a big greenhouse which works as a solar collector for the building. The plastic stays rolled up away in summer to prevent overheating. This ultraviolet stabilised plastic is commonly used for agricultural greenhouses in Ladakh.
A bonus feature of the plastic covering is that they make excellent spaces to grow vegetables and flowers in the Ladakhi winter.
Thermal mass in walls and floors
We build our buildings three feet (1 m) or more below ground on the north side. The building benefits from the stability of earth's temperature at that depth, which is relatively warm in winter and cool in summer. It also helps us get the building material — earth — right on site. The earth we dig out ultimately becomes the walls of the building.
The walls are build of rammed earth, a most eco-friendly method as the building material comes right from the site and is not transported hundreds of miles, and when construction is finished, there is no debris to be thrown away: no addition, no subtraction. Earth buildings are the warmest in winter and coolest in summer, and also moderate the humidity of the building.
The technique of rammed earth consists of casting huge bricks in place, in a frame made of planks. Sand and clay are mixed in the right amounts to get a very strong constitution. It is then packed in the frames and rammed with pounders.
Rammed earth is an ancient technique used in monasteries,
castles and forts around Ladakh. These structures have survived, unprotected
and exposed to the elements, for hundreds of years.
While we resurrected this method in Ladakh, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that there is a resurgence of this technique in many western countries in Europe, North America, and Australia.
Insulation in ceilings, outer walls and floor
Insulation retainw the heat collected during the day, but it does not have to be expensive modern materials. The wood waste generated during the construction is filled in the ceiling to stop heat loss through the roof.
Insulation below the floor is also important. Layers of various sizes of rocks create insulating air-pockets between the rocks. A top layer of gravel and cement acts as a heat bank.
Sometimes the top layer of the floor is slates from nearby mountains. This reduces the use of cement, and the slates also become a thermal mass or heat bank as they are now cut off thermally from the cold ground.
This kind of floor absorbs the excess heat during the day and releases it during the night. Otherwise floors can be an area of big heat loss.
The outer walls are insulated by a jacket wall outside the main structural wall. The six inch gap between the two walls is filled with low cost insulation: saw dust, wood shavings or sometimes paper and plastic garbage like bottles and bags. Sometimes we have also used cow dung as an insulating plaster. Mixed with the right amount of earth and clay, it makes a strong and thermally effective plaster.
If comparing 'thermal conductivity' (insulation property) of common Ladakhi building materials, you find that mud is the best:
1 ft mud wall = 2 ft concrete = 4 ft stone = 1.5 inch of saw dust. = 1 inch of Thermocol, rockwool etc.
Natural lighting: the sun
Windows and skylights ensure that no place in the building needs electric lights in the day.
Light well in the main building on Phey Campus.

Bipolar man fined for growing medicinal cannabis
Posted: February 21, 2014|
A bipolar man who grew his own cannabis to alleviate his condition has been fined £500.
Richard Tortoishell, aged 42, was found with four half grown plants and told police they were his second crop, Exeter Crown Court was told.
He was originally arrested on suspicion of being involved with drugs and police found the plants and three small bags of home grown cannabis buds at the address in Torquay where he was living at the time.
Tortoishell, of Ogwell, Newton Abbot, admitted production of cannabis and possession of the drug for personal use.
He was fined £500 with £50 costs by Recorder Mr Martin Meeke, QC, who told him:"You are of previous good character but the financial penalty must be substantial to recognise that those who grow cannabis commit a serious offence."
Miss Janice Eagles, prosecuting, said Tortoishell was arrested in Torbay in July and his address in Magdalen Road, Torquay was searched.
The police were initially investigating the production of amphetamines but found no evidence. However, they did find the four cannabis plants.
Officers also recovered just under 50 grams of the buds from the female flowering heads of home grown cannabis in small bags in his bedroom and kitchen.
Miss Eagles said the growing operation was not sophisticated and Tortoishell told police this was his second crop and only two of his first three plants had survived.
She said:"He told police he suffers from bipolar disorder and used the cannabis help him cope with issues arising from that."
Miss Anne Bellchambers, defending, said her client used to run his own computer business but it failed and he now works as a labourer. He is a single man with one daughter.
She said the recent bad weather had affected his earnings but he would be able to pay a fine.

|Trepopnea Associated with Paroxysmal Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation Triggered at Left Lateral Decubitus Position.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20545997 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|A 78-year-old male patient was referred cardiovascular risk evaluation before elective resection of a bronchial carcinoma. A myocardial infarction with a subsequent coronary artery bypass revascularization and a mitral prosthetic valve surgery were known. Left lateral decubitus (LLD) was permanently avoided because of significant trepopnea since several years. No signs of heart failure were found in the physical examination. A mitral valve prosthesis presented normal characteristics at examination. Left ventricular dimensions and function were normal. A severe tricuspid regurgitation could be documented during examination in the LLD, with changing characteristics in dorsal decubitus, when it could be graded as moderate. Trepopnea associated with severe paroxysmal tricuspid regurgitation was never described before in the literature. Sympathetic/parasympathetic modulation of papillary muscles of the tricuspid valve can be proposed as a probable cause of this dynamic valvular dysfunction. (Echocardiography ****;**:E1-E3).

While not commonly seen, Production Foremans who transition into a Plant Manager of Manufacturing position may see a rise in pay. The median salary for Plant Managers of Manufacturing is $81K per year. Production Foremans most frequently become Manufacturing Production Supervisors and General Manufacturing Foremen even though median compensation is $3K lower and $4K lower, respectively.
Survey results show that Production Foremans use a fair number of skills. Most notably, skills in Operations Management, Production Support, People Management, and Troubleshooting are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Welding, Quality Assurance / Quality Control, and Troubleshooting. Most people familiar with Production Support also know Troubleshooting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Production Foremans, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $46K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $52K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $57K in this role. Production Foremans who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $62K.

I think you will want the developer closer to the enlarger (unless you are such a speed demon that you are on to another print before the first is out of the developer).
Get a smaller set of trays for normal prints. flowing water is good for a stop bath, but a print washer is overkill. If you are using a normal fixer, use a normal acidic stop bath. If you are using an alkalai stop bath like tf[3,4,5] then water is the choice.
I've built a stand for stacking the big trays in my darkroom too. Not many people have room for 4 monster trays (dev, stop, fix, wash)

"I could almost hear it before it came in to the house. It rolled underneath from left to right, and then it was gone."
Placerville resident Penelope Mayes was awake when the 4.7 magnitude quake hit near Graeagle, California around 11:30 PM Wednesday.
Shock waves from the quake could be felt in Reno and Carson City.
Even residents in Roseville, California reported activity from the earthquake.
"You know, I've repaired so much glass it didn't even faze me," says glass shop owner Frank Rossbach.
Glassforms Custom Glass Blowing is sandwiched between heavy road construction and rail road tracks.
Rossbach says he's use to vibrations.
In fact, he says he slept right through it and didn't know about it until he watched the news Thursday morning.
Across the street the owners of JoAnne's Stained Glass & Gallery weren't so sure.
"At first it was a little sway," says Randy Pohler.
"Then it gave another little rumble like it was going to pitch up, and all I could think about was the shop and all the glass here."
Fortunately he arrived to find the shop completely in order.
So far there have been no reports of damage or injury connected to the quake, but it has sparked a lot of conversation.

Baby chicks identified as source of Salmonella outbreak
Five Oregon cases of Salmonella have been identified by public health officials, with the source of the outbreak being traced to baby chicks from a Washington hatchery.
Residents in the states of Washington and Idaho have also been affected.
Some people who were infected reported that they did not handle chicks directly, but had worked or passed through rooms where chicks were kept. Environments can be easily contaminated from bacteria in animal wastes, according to Emilio DeBess, DHS public health veterinarian.
The first cases of Salmonella Ohio—a rare serotype—were identified on April 11, with the most recent case reported on April 26, DeBess said. Public health officials warn that more cases could surface.
Baby chicks, usually sold by mail order or in feed stores, have been repeatedly identified as the source of salmonellosis outbreaks.
Thorough hand washing with soap and warm water is the most important way to prevent Salmonella or other infections, DeBess said. He also recommends that children be supervised so they do not Many healthy animals may harbor bacteria that are harmful to humans. nuzzle or kiss chicks or other fowl.
Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection that can cause severe diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps and chills. People are most often infected by eating food or drinking water contaminated with Salmonella or by contact with infected people or animals. Animals often infected with Salmonella include turtles, iguanas, other reptiles, cattle, chicks, ducklings and other birds.
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho public health officials have worked collaboratively to share information on this outbreak.

Mechanical Weathering
There are many types of mechanical weathering. There is release of pressure, freezing and thawing, animal actions, plant growth, and abrasion. While all the types differ greatly, they are all mechanical weathering. Mechanical weathering is the physical breaking down and weathering of rocks by forces of nature.
Freezing and Thawing
Freezing and thawing is one of the three types of mechanical weathering we will be presenting. This particular type occurs when water finds its way into preexisting cracks in rock. Then the water freezes, expanding as it does so. This causes the crack in the rock to widen, and also may even eventually split the rock. This process earned itself the name of "ice wedging" thanks to this. This type of weathering is known to cause and widen cracks in sidewalks and potholes in streets.
This rock was split by ice wedging.
Abrasion is another type of mechanical weathering, and our second example. Abrasion is the process of when sand and other rock particles, such as sediment, are carried by wind, water, or ice over an exposed rock surface. This causes friction, and wears away the rock that it is acting upon like sandpaper on wood.
This rock has undergone abrasion from the pond water's sediments for a while.
Animal Actions
Animals can also cause weathering. Animal actions are yet another type of weathering, as a matter of fact; and our final example of mechanical weathering as well. When animals, and some insects as well, burrow in the ground, they loosen and break apart rocks in the soil. Moles, gophers, prairie dogs, ants, and even earthworms cause this to happen.
This animal's burrow has loosened the soil around it, and broken up rocks inside.

The European Chafer, Rhizotrogus majalis, is a serious pest of turf, horticulture, and field crops in Eastern North America. In 2001 it was found in New Westminster, British Columbia, in lawns and boulevards. It is slowly spreading and is now present throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, and Coquitlam. It has been confirmed in east Richmond (2010) and North Delta (2007).
The adult beetle (Figure 1) is tan coloured and resembles a small June beetle (12 mm long). The larvae, or grubs (Figures 2, 3), have a C -shaped body and brown head. Mature chafer grubs are up to 25 mm long, significantly smaller than mature June beetle grubs. A microscope is required to confidently identify the grubs.
The European Chafer completes a life cycle in one year. Eggs hatch around mid-July, and the grubs moult twice over 8 weeks. The mature grubs are well adapted to cool moist conditions and feed all fall. During the winter they dig down during periods of freezing conditions, but otherwise remain within 5 cm of the surface. They feed in the spring until April when they become pupae. Adults emerge in late May, fly to nearby deciduous trees to mate and feed, and subsequently females deposit up to 50 eggs each.
The grubs are the damaging stage. They feed on all types of grass and, if numerous and food is scarce, may move into vegetable plantings to feed on corn, potatoes, blueberries, strawberries, conifers, and other crops. European chafer grubs prefer to feed on fibrous roots, and can damage ornamental and nursery plants by reducing their fibrous root system. Most of the damage is done by the third (final) instar grubs in the fall and early spring, but damage can be masked by the abundant moisture at these times. Drier weather can quickly result in the appearance of brown, dying patches in turf or other crops. Considerable damage to turf can occur in the fall and winter from animals, including skunks and birds digging up the grass to feed on the larger grubs (Figure 4). The adult beetles are active at dusk and can be seen in groups in deciduous trees, but they do not cause damage.
Healthy, vigorous, well-irrigated turf can withstand low levels of grub feeding. Mow at 6-9 cm height, as taller turf is less preferred by egg-laying female beetles, and is more drought tolerant. Although birds and mammals feeding on larvae damages turf, it also helps decrease the pest population. Do not reseed until feeding is completed and grubs have pupated.
There are some naturally occurring soil organisms that infect European chafer larvae and make them sick, reducing their impact. However, these cannot be relied on to completely manage a chafer infestation.
Conventional insecticides and predatory nematodes are available for grub control. Both types of products work best if applied when grubs are small; from late July until September. Local studies show that Heterorhabditis bacteriophora is the best nematode choice (one trade name is Nemasys G). This nematode is a "cruiser" species that actively seeks out white grubs such as the European chafer, and quickly destroys them from the inside-out. Carbaryl is available in domestic formulations, which homeowners can purchase and apply. Imidacloprid and chlorantraniliprole, in addition to carbaryl, are available in commercial formulations, which can only be applied by commercial applicators.
Insecticides can also be applied successfully to non-frozen turf in the fall and early spring. Before applying treatments, remove excessive thatch and irrigate if the soil is dry to bring the grubs to the surface. After applying either a conventional insecticide or nematodes, water the treated area to move the product into the root zone. See labels for more details.
If you have an ongoing problem with European chafer, consider employing a commercial lawn care company to help manage the problem year round. Alternatively, remove turf from chafer-prone areas and replace with an alternative landscape feature. Do not remove soil from infested areas, as chafer can be spread to new areas by movement of infested soil. Do not import plants from infested areas. Composting will not kill larvae.

MATURE LIVING: Recognizing peripheral artery disease
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) affects approximately 9 million Americans, yet only 25 percent of adults have heard of the disease.
Many patients don't recognize the symptoms and therefore do not seek treatment. Too often, patients experience pain and numbness in their legs and ignore symptoms by simply attributing them to old age or other health issues. This oversight and avoidance can lead to serious health complications. When diagnosed, PAD can be treated effectively.
PAD is a vascular disease that restricts or blocks blood flow in the legs. Arterial blockages, or hardening of the arteries, occur when plaque, thrombus or calcium builds up along artery walls. If left untreated, blockages can lead to sores that do not heal or heal slowly, leading to gangrene and even amputation. Furthermore, those suffering from PAD are at increased risk for heart disease, aortic aneurysms and stroke — it is important to recognize early symptoms and seek treatment immediately.
Symptoms of PAD include:
Dull or cramping pain in the hips, thighs or calf muscles
Buttocks pain
Numbness or tingling in the leg, foot or toes
Cold feet or legs
Pale, blue or red toned legs and feet
Thick toenails and fungal infections
Painful wounds that do not heal
Pain in the legs while sitting down
Ulcers in the legs and feet
Individuals at the highest risk include:
People over the age of 50
Overweight or obese people
People who do not exercise
People who have high blood pressure or high cholesterol
PAD is a physically draining disease that is also emotionally frustrating for those suffering. Everyday activities suddenly become a challenge. Walking and exercising is difficult and often limited, due to pain in the hips, thighs or calves.
This lack of mobility can strand patients near their homes because they are fearful of venturing out and encountering fatigue or pain. Ultimately, PAD can negatively affect quality of life. Many people are suffering unnecessarily and should seek treatment immediately.
Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medications, bypass surgery, or minimally invasive procedures, including angioplasty or stenting to stretch the artery, or removing the blockage from the artery wall with a laser catheter or other devices. This latter treatment, known as excimer laser ablation, is a particularly interesting tool as it is the only FDA approved laser procedure on the market for the treatment of PAD. Vascular specialists are experts in all treatments including surgery and minimally invasive procedures. Most of these procedures take only an hour or two to complete and many patients are sent home the same day.
No one should suffer from PAD in silence. Spreading greater awareness of the disease is crucial in helping individuals who may be suffering needlessly recognize their symptoms and seek professional treatment. You've been informed about PAD — now tell someone else!
Dr. James Taylor is a pioneer in minimally invasive techniques in cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery, including limb salvage therapies. Dr. Taylor's office is located at the Heart and Vascular center at San Angelo Community Medical Center.

Chip's version of camping is a bit different than most. Chip and I both stink at camping. I won't do it and any woman who will is pretty stinkin' awesome. Chip camped out at the farm a few weeks ago in sleeping bags (inside our very unfinished house) and he said it was the worst night sleep of his life. Maybe a bit dramatic, but I would have thought the same thing. On black Friday he woke up early and purchased this memory-foam-blow-up matress. Camping Snob. He stayed out there last weekend with all four kids. Super Dad. He said he slept like a baby.
When I walked up there the next day to see where all the troops had slept, I just laughed out loud. He is such a fun dad and these kids will have the best memories because of him.

Here's the real question.. will the show make them anymore reliable?
great slideshow!
Who wants a beautiful car you can't even kill yourself in?
what slideshow? Nothing there!
Ever try starting any gasoline engine with a rag stuffed in its exhaust pipe? It won't unless it can blow out the blockage. So, in this case, don't blame Lucas, "The Prince of Darkness" for the failure of the E-type to start in that attempted suicide sequence.
Just for the record, I owned a 1967 Series 1 E-type OTS for about 14 years and it never failed to start. Light and accessory switches did have their occasional tricky moments, however. I still loved owning it and regret having sold her to purchase a later model saloon.

"Episode 88 – Everybody's Infidelity Pants" from Horrorshow Hot Dog by Josh & Charlie & Matt. Released: 2014. Track 88. Genre: Podcast.
Episode 88 – Everybody's Infidelity Pants
3 Responses to Episode 88 – Everybody's Infidelity Pants
So for reals, guys, we want to hear your opinions on the Woman. Listening to the show, I realize I didn't do the best job of articulating why it pissed me off, so I'll try again:
I feel like it's a movie that thinks it's making a heavy statement about gender relations. The main guy starts off mistreating women in familiar ways, and it continues into a heavy-handed allegory of the way men keep power over women, and seems to suggest the solution is to get rid of men entirely.
Which, y'know, is a conversation you could have. But I got a distinct whiff of "THIS IS IMPORTANT YOU GUYS" throughout. I thought it was the worst kind of pretentious — ignorant but thinking it's brilliant. It didn't have any believable human behavior to hang its premise on, and so it just got more and more dull and pretentious. And then the last fifteen minutes let go of any attempt at recognizable or even explainable behavior on the part of any of its characters, so it could have the weird Hills Have Eyes bloodbath.
Now, I like a crazy cannibal movie, and I like an intelligent descontruction of stuff movie. But if you're going to give me a crazy cannibal movie, don't undercut it with a bunch of Womyn's Studies bullshit. If you're going to give me a feminist manifesto, don't make it a crazy cannibal movie in the final third. What you end up with is a mix of extreme feminist ideology–which is pretty suspect coming from an all-male production team–and extremely misogynistic treatment of women, all without a single believable character to hang it on.
So yeah. I didn't hate it because it was too gross, or too exploitative of women, or too gory…I hated it because it was really dumb, thought it was really smart, and tried to hammer home a questionable moral with the subtlety of a jackhammer covered in hamfists slamming into an anvil.
And what the fuck was the deal with the baby and the wolf?
Was it really just more ham-handed symbolism?

Jack Aaronson | September 30, 2004 | Comments
A year ago, UPS acquired and rebranded Mailboxes, Etc. stores. FedEx followed suit with Kinko's. Which company rebranded successfully -- and which didn't?
Over a year ago, UPS began to rebrand its newly acquired Mailboxes, Etc. (MBE) as The UPS Store. At the time, I commented on how I felt this rebranding effort had failed. After interviewing many store owners and reporting on their customer service and branding issues, I promised to follow up in a year. Since then, Kinko's went through a rebranding of its own.
Let's compare the two and see how they fared.
For this update, I emailed many MBE and UPS store owners who had contacted me over the last year. Not a single UPS Store owner responded. These were the people who told me my predictions would be wrong, and UPS Stores would prevail over MBEs. Surprisingly, I didn't hear back from any of them this year so they could say, "I told you so." My hunch is they're keeping quiet because they were wrong.
Several MBE owners emailed. All report their stores are doing well, and (after over a year) they're still all extremely happy they didn't change their name to "The UPS Store." Many MBE owners told me they've actually gained customers who used to frequent stores now dubbed "The UPS Store."
What's behind the shift in loyalty is evidence of the branding failure. Those customers didn't know they could still rent mailboxes and conduct other nonshipping-related business at the new stores. So, they switched to the MBEs that retained the old brand.
Most MBE owners have two complaints: UPS stopped giving them any national advertising; and UPS tries to strong-arm them into regretting keeping the MBE name. Yet all the MBE owners I contacted report customer loyalty has never been higher, and their customers are actually galvanized against the UPS brand. This can't be a good thing for UPS.
In the last year, FedEx rebranded Kinko's as "FedEx Kinko's." This rebranding was a lot more successful in terms of user perception. Users know both brands and the core competencies of each. Putting the two together provides a wealth of capabilities. No questions remain in consumers' minds as to what these newly rebranded stores do. It's obvious -- much more obvious than what The UPS Store can do.
The marketing (on- and offline) of these new brands is very telling. FedEx Kinko's commercials and online ads tell you everything you can expect from the new stores. They reaffirm the consumer really does get the best of both worlds. UPS, on the other hand, chose a less effective slogan to market its new brand: "What can Brown do for you?"
I don't know what Brown can do for me. That's the problem. If I knew what it did, there'd be no need for a huge branding campaign to remind me! Not only did UPS botch MBE's rebranding, it basically reaffirmed its company-centric world view: Everyone should know what UPS can do.
Guess what? We don't. FedEx Kinko's, on the other hand, applied a customer-centric view to its rebranding and attempted to ensure customers know exactly what it can do for them. For example, does The UPS Store offer digital printing? Some MBEs did. They've seen profits plummet since they rebranded.
Kinko's Web site now directs to the new FedEx Kinko's site. MBE's Web site is still separate from the new theupsstore.com. In fact, a location search at theupsstore.com only displays UPS-branded stores. Even though the closest store to me is an MBE, I'll never find it on the UPS-branded site.
UPS is sending a clear message to its family: Conform or face the consequences. Yet MBE stores have a much more diverse set of revenue streams, while UPS Stores count on shipping for their major source of revenue. Most economists would agree diversifying these streams is a better strategy than strangling your family members out of brand egoism.
One year has proven the MBE-to-UPS transition remains a failing proposition. The new stores seem much less useful in the customer's perception. They rely mainly on UPS shipping to make ends meet. MBE stores meanwhile flourish due to increased customer loyalty, their mom-and-pop feel, and a diverse revenue stream that includes shipping, mailboxes, printing, and much more.
Kinko's didn't suffer much from its brand migration. Instead of egocentricity concerning its brand values, FedEx embraced Kinko's brand and chose a name that honors the needs of each company's customers. Customers know they should still go to their local Kinko's. It's obvious from the brand and marketing campaigns they can.
The winner of the UPS/MBE vs. FedEx/Kinko's challenge is unquestionably FedEx/Kinko's. Customers win by getting the best of both worlds. Each brand rides the other's coattails. In the UPS/MBE world, the customer is lost in brand confusion; UPS is on the receiving end of community ill-will because of how it treats MBE owners; MBE owners are cut out of national advertising; and the UPS Stores lose because no one knows what they do.
What can Brown do for me?
I still don't know, Brown.

If the engine on your automobile dies, a broken starter for your Mazda B4000 could make you helpless to get the engine all set again.

A starter made of top-notch components that suits with your Mazda B4000 is what you will need.

ST. GEORGE - Paul David Navar, M.D. was a young 52 when he passed away in St. George, Utah on Saturday, February 21st. Paul passed away enjoying an activity he loved, bicycling. He was found at the top of Chuck-walla Trail, surrounded by beautiful red rocks, with the view of Pine Valley Mountain in the background. Paul did not die in an accident; he rode to the top of the mountain, dismounted his bicycle, grabbed his water bottle, and laid back to take in the view. This was where Paul went peacefully, and if he could have chosen how he would go, this would have been it. Paul was born September 27, 1956 in El Paso, Texas to Macedonio and Julianne Navar. The oldest of seven, his favorite phrase was "Mom and Dad have loved me the longest." As his five younger sisters grew into beautiful women, Paul became the protective, older brother. He was a star athlete at his high school, and it is there where he met his future wife, Marsha Sales. Paul went on to Stanford University where he played football his freshman and sophomore year. He graduated in three years on January 5, 1978, with a Bachelor of Science. Paul was then accepted to Southwestern Medical School. While in medical school, he married his wonderful wife, Marsha, on June 20, 1980. He graduated in the top 10%, and was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. In 1982, he and his wife moved to Salt Lake City to complete his residency at the University of Utah, where he received the outstanding intern award. It was there that his first son, Jon Paul, was born. When Paul completed his residency, he moved back to El Paso where he became the director of two major emergency rooms. While in El Paso he welcomed his second son, Kirk, and his little angel, Allison. In 1999, Paul moved his family to St. George, Utah where he opened his own practice in Age Management Medicine. Paul had many hobbies. He would strive to become the best at one and then would move on to the next. He was an expert golfer, tennis player, hiker, pilot, heli-skier, rappeller, dirt biker, geocacher, and mountain biker. He was the best husband, father, son and brother. Paul was also a bit of a nerd. He enjoyed coin and rock collecting, chess and reading. Paul was a brilliant, athletic, healthy, handsome, happy man. Just like Clark Kent, my daddy was "Superman!"
Paul is survived by his wife Marsha, and his three children Jon Paul, Kirk, and Alli, as well as his parents, Macedonio and Julianne Navar, his five sisters, Julie Navar, Becky Rash (Steve), Laurie Gill (Doug), Emily Navar (Alfred Rordame), and Amanda Farias (Paco). His surviving in-laws include Kim Sales, John Sales, Jack and Carol Sales, Merry and Pat Cherry, Kirk and Lorraine Sales, Debbie and Tom Galvin as well as many other loving aunts and uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces. Paul is preceded in death by his younger brother Louis
Patrick Navar.
A service will be held Thursday, February 26th at 1:00 pm at Metcalf Mortuary, 288 West St. George Blvd. Arrangements under the direction of Metcalf Mortuary, 435-673-4221. See Metcalf's website at www.metcalfmortuary.com for condolences and full obituary and funeral listings.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Paul Navar Fund at Zions Bank . A fund set up to help with the Medical School Tuition of Jon Paul Navar. Dr. Navar was very proud that his eldest son will be attending Medical School at Ohio State this fall.

Preventing Fracking Abuse on Allegheny Forest
One of the natural gems of our whole region is Allegheny National Forest, a hundred miles north of Pittsburgh. Now the Allegheny Defense Project and the Sierra Club are in court trying to ensure that the U.S. Forest Service has sufficient oversight of oil and gas drilling in this national forest, and that the public is not excluded from decisions regarding any oil and gas drilling. In September 2012, a U.S. District Judge ruled that the Forest Service has limited authority to regulate oil and gas drilling in the Allegheny NF. As part of a long legal battle, the environmental groups appealed that decision to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
The groups argue that the lower court's decision is flawed because it ignored the history of why Congress created national forests in the eastern United States in the first place – namely, because the states had failed to protect the headwaters of streams and rivers from private industry. The groups claim that Congress clearly intended to empower the Forest Service to impose reasonable regulations on oil and gas companies that build roads, pipelines, and well sites on national forest land. This is particularly important today, as the Marcellus Shale gas boom spreads across Pennsylvania and now threatens the Allegheny National Forest. If the lower court decision is upheld, it will mean that the Forest Service will be virtually powerless to protect the Allegheny from companies drilling and fracking for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale.
Thanks to Ryan Talbot of the Allegheny Defense Project for the basis of this article.
NOTE: This article was edited June 5 to remove any impression that the purpose of the lawsuit is to actually prevent oil and gas drilling on the Allegheny NF where the sub-surface rights are privately owned.

NORTH KINGSTOWN— On Monday, Superior Court Judge Brian Stern upheld a December decision in favor of the North Kingstown Firefighters Association (NKFFA) Local 1651, who have been at odds with the town council regarding a new collective bargaining agreement, ordering the town to end its imposition of 24-hour shifts for the firefighters.
The order marks a two-week negotiation between the firefighters and the town, culminating in the council's unanimous vote on Saturday, Feb. 2, to veto a tentative collective bargaining agreement. On Wednesday, Stern certified his order and denied the town council's appeal for a stay.
NKFFA President Ray Furtado was pleased with Stern's decision to issue the order and deny the stay, although the town will now seek relief through the Supreme Court. Stern's order states that the town is required to 'reinstate wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.'
"We would like [the council] to honor the tentative agreement that their representatives said was a reasonable solution at the time," said Furtado. "If they do not, it leaves us no recourse except to follow through on the litigation. We had a solution to this last Wednesday, both parties signed off. The town manager and I both signed a tentative agreement, and they all were supportive."
Town Manager Michael Embury released as statement on Wednesday, reaffirming its position to do what is best for North Kingstown taxpayers in regards to the firefighters' contract.
