Lifetime Customer!
by Steve , 11/03/2011
I did a bunch of research for a mtn. bike but found the best deal at Noble sports. They were very helpful in getting me on the right bike for my stage in the sport. They knew what they were talking about and I'm very pleased with the bike. It's nice to have a local bike shop with good customer service that does life time tune-ups when you buy a bike. I recommend these guys.
Love my Bike and Noble
by CannondaleLover , 10/13/2011
I bought a Full Suspension Mountain bike from these guys. They gave me a super good deal and they were very knowledgable. Their Mechanic knows his stuff and all the staff was super nice, it's great to finally go to a bike shop that is not a "Snob shop." Love the bike I have and every time I take it in for my free lifetime tune up, they turn it around quicker than expected.
by Disappointed , 07/08/2011
Started going in when they first opened and supported them as a local company. I referred many friends and family to them and everybody kept saying the customer service was not great. I realized what they meant when I took my bike in to get a tune up. I have never been treated so poorly. I was talked down to and treated horribly. I thought they were just having a bad day and returned another day to buy a package deal for my daughter. Again, I was treated like they could care less if I was in the store or not. They changed the price on the package and would not give me the deal that was shown on paper and told to me by another sales person. They basically told me that they could care less if I bought from them and didn't care if left. Horrible service and will never go back.
2 thumbs up from me
by Doon , 10/20/2010
I bought a road bike, and a commuter bike from Noble Sports this year, and they have been awesome with getting my free tune ups done in a good time frame, and they have done it right the first time. Staff is always really nice and I always feel welcome. Happy to have a good bike shop in Springville. Oh and by the way, I did get fitted to my road bike the same day I bought it.
Not so great
by Somewhat Disappointed , 08/04/2010
I just bought my first bike from Noble. I thought I was getting a great deal, but could get the bike cheaper at REI. Also, not knowing about bikes very much I didn't get fitted for the bike so that it's actually comfortable to ride.On a good note, the staff was nice, but I feel they didn't give me the attention that other shops would have.

Faced with a deteriorating commuter rail system and crumbling roads and bridges, local legislators told members of the Corridor Nine Chamber of Commerce upgrading transportation infrastructure will help boost area businesses.
Faced with a deteriorating commuter rail system and crumbling roads and bridges, local legislators told members of the Corridor Nine Chamber of Commerce upgrading transportation infrastructure will help boost area businesses.
Improving statewide transportation infrastructure is a high priority for Gov. Deval Patrick as well. The governor recently proposed a $1 billion a year transportation plan that will revitalize the aging state transportation system by replacing subway cars, making roadway improvements and expanding rail service to Springfield, the Berkshires and Cape Cod.
Funding for the program would come from increased taxes and fees.
Along with a more efficient transportation system, the plan would create much-needed jobs, U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern said at Thursday's Corridor Nine Chamber of Commerce legislative breakfast.
"We need to invest in our infrastructure to create jobs," said McGovern. "Job growth is the way to get fiscal growth in order."
While state Sen. Jamie Eldridge, D-Acton, approves Patrick's vision, he said the plan must have regional equality to ensure upgrades are made across the state and not in just a few areas. Eldridge said the upgrades would bring business to area shops.
"It will help the business community get people to area businesses," said Eldridge. "We do need to invest in our infrastructure."
With the commuter trains often breaking down causing significant delays, state Rep. Matt Beaton, R-Shrewsbury, suggested the money would be better spent replacing the old trains rather than expanding rail service.
"It's not the right time," said Beaton, whose wife takes the train and has been delayed several times. "We have an aging infrastructure. We need to really start investing in those areas."
State Rep. George Peterson, R-Grafton, is also frustrated at the frequent delays on the commuter lines and the lack of heat in the cars in the winter and air conditioning in the summer.
"This has been a service that has been that way for a while," said Peterson. "There is no excuse."
While transportation was a top topic Thursday, legislators also focused on their desire to reform campaign financing during elections.
McGovern called the $45 million Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren each raised in their race for the U.S. Senate "obscene," and said the overwhelming funding donated to candidates provides power to the wealth and undermines other citizens.
"You could've ended poverty in this country," McGovern said of the money raised in the Brown-Warren race. "This issue has troubled me for a long time. We need to change it."
Describing the up to $80,000 needed to run a state representative campaign "ridiculous," state Rep. Harold Naughton Jr., D-Clinton, is in favor of reforming campaign financing.
Instead of fundraising, Naughton would rather work on more pressing issues at the State House.
Page 2 of 2 - "It takes too much time away," he said.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky's state park system has won recognition for its storm readiness.
The parks system has achieved "StormReady" supporter status to keep guests and employees safe when threatening weather occurs. The parks worked with the National Weather Service to gain the status.
State officials say the Kentucky State Parks system is one of the first park systems in the country to achieve the designation.
The Kentucky parks also planned and coordinated their efforts with local emergency management agencies to make sure people are safe before and after severe weather occurs.
The designated parks have the appropriate communications equipment and have identified safe places for people to go when bad weather is one the way. Parks personnel have completed necessary training.

Sughran's Group
Sughran does sewing from her house. She has contracts with different boutiques and stores selling women's ready-made garments. She finishes their orders on time and earns good profit on them. Her husband is a motor mechanic. He earns a reasonable income from his technical work. His workshop is located in the nearby market and it always remains busy because people trust him so much and come to him to repair their vehicles.
Sughran has applied for a loan for the sixth time from Asasah for her husband. With the loan amount he will buy the latest repair tools for his motor workshop and increase his income. She is a very responsible member of Asasah and has always paid installments on time.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

"Safe" Investing and Lagging Indicators
We Have Met the Enemy, And He Is Us
Stock Market Video
In Case You Missed It
A few weeks ago, I saw a documentary film called "Frontrunners,"
about the election of a student union president at Stuyvesant High
School in New York City. My wife and I both love a good
documentary, and this was easily one of the more interesting ones
we'd seen. (I also heartily enjoyed "Freakonomics" awhile back, but
that's a different topic.)
Anyway, I mention "Frontrunners" because one of the campaign
promises of the winner of the student union election was the
establishment of a completely safe investment account for the
student union. This would allow the student union to grow their
income without having to spend money putting on fundraising events.
One of his opponents criticized the idea on camera prior to the
election, commenting there was so such thing as a completely safe
investment account---an idea that's both true and false at exactly
the same time.
Let me explain: It's well known that every investment account or
investing system involves
element of risk. What changes is the amount of risk built into the
system. Value investing systems, for example, can be very low-risk.
Investing in growth and momentum stocks, on the other hand, can
entail higher risk. (Growth and momentum stocks also have the
highest profit potential, which for many investors justifies
increased risk.)
Because of this risk built into every investing system, the
statement that there is no such thing as a safe investment account
is 100% true. There's always a risk when you put money in the
market, and you always have the potential to lose money.
However, you can lower risks with investment vehicles such as
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which have built-in
diversification by having small positions in dozens or hundreds of
Today, I want focus on ETFs, arguably the most sensible of the no-
or low-fee investment vehicles out there today. The reason for this
is right in the name--they're traded on the open market, so you
purchase an ETF the same way you'd buy stock in
Apple (
Caterpillar (
There are ETFs tied to the performance of indexes like the Dow
Jones or the S&P 500, ETFs tied to sectors such as energy,
health care and basic materials ... and even ETFs tied to
individual countries such as the
Market Vectors China ETF (
With so many options, how do you choose? You could spend hours
poring over each and every ETF on the market before you decide
where to place your money ... or you could enlist the aid of
someone like Robin Carpenter, editor of
Cabot ETF Investing System
, who follows ETFs for a living.
Cabot ETF Investing System,
by the way, has earned triple the returns of the S&P 500 over
five years. If you are interested I encourage you
to click here and give the newsletter a try.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the March jobs report on
April 6, revealing the U.S. economy only added 120,000 new jobs in
March while the unemployment rate held more or less steady. This is
a drop from February, which had net growth of 240,000 new jobs (the
initial number was 270,000 but the government cut about 30,000
employees after the report came out).
Stocks closed sharply lower on Monday after the lower-than-expected
jobs numbers (analysts had expected roughly 205,000 new jobs),
because the market was closed for Good Friday when the jobs numbers
came out.
I admit to a certain fascination with the Pavlovian response to
lagging indicators such as the jobs report. If an economic report
is released and it's below expectations, then the broad market
declines. If it's above expectations, then the broad market
increases. It's as if the whole of Wall Street is the dog in
Pavlov's experiment and when the "dinner bell" of a good economic
report rings, they immediately start salivating for their meal.
My problem with lagging indicators, however, is two-fold. My first
issue is that, in my opinion, a broad economic indicator such as a
jobs report doesn't tell a specific-enough picture to warrant
trading on. Better to look at the performance of your individual
holdings before making a decision whether to buy or sell.
For example,
Google (
reported first-quarter results this past Thursday that beat
expectations on earnings per share--$10.08 versus expectations of
$9.65. If I had holdings in Google, which I don't, it's results
like this that would govern my trading decision more than a
broad-market indicator like the jobs numbers.
My second problem with lagging indicators is right in the name.
Trading on lagging indicators is one of the clearest examples of
the old phrase "hindsight is 20/20," wherein you recognize the
decision that should have been made well after the situation has
I prefer to look forward, rather than back, when it comes to the
market. That's when the SNaC (story, numbers and chart) method,
which I've
talked about before
, comes into play. Better to look at the fundamental aspects of
your stock than a broad-market indicator to see how your portfolio
will perform.
That's just my two cents, and you're welcome to disagree with me. I
encourage it, in point of fact, and would love to hear your view on
lagging indicators or any other topic covered in Cabot Wealth
Advisory. Simply write me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your views. Who

We Have Met The Enemy, And He Is Us
Walt Kelly first used the quote "We have met the enemy and he is

we are all of us responsible for our myriad pollutions, public,
private and political." For investors, the button is a clear
reminder that we are our own worst enemies, continually allowing
the mirror emotions of fear and greed to over-rule our intellect.

"Excels at killing other mounted units." - Age of Empires II Description
The Camel is a Cavalry unit that is good against cavalry.
The Camel is the first mounted anti-Cavalry unit available in the game. For reduced effectiveness, higher cost and less adaptability compared to Spearmen, the Camel is a faster and therefore more agile anti-Cavalry unit. Camels will annihilate most hostile Cavalry, their bonus against Cavalry tripling a weak base damage. Unfortunately, this weak base damage make them ineffective against anything else. They are available only to the Berbers, Byzantines, Chinese, Ethiopians, Malians, Mongols, Persians, Indians, Saracens, and Turks. The Heavy Camel upgrade in the Imperial Age gives a total bonus of +18 to deal with Elite Cavalry.
Tactics EditThe Camel has an attack bonus of +10 against horse-cavalry/elephants and +9 against other camels (+5 in Conquerors). Cavalry can more easily escape from Spearmen, Pikemen and Halberdiers than they can from Camels, at the cost of higher food and gold costs. Using Camels against civilizations that revolve around cavalry units, such as Franks, Saracens, Persians, and Mongols often lend great results. Upgrading to Heavy Camel in the Imperial Age helps them keep pace.
Camels are best used only against melee cavalry or to ambush groups of cavalry archers. They are at a disadvantage against Infantry, Archers, and of course, Spearmen, Pikemen, and Halberdiers. They also lose their bonus against the resilient Cataphract, which has a defense against anti-cavalry attack bonuses. The Cataphract's bonus defense is very high, at 16; the Heavy Camel upgrade's bonus against cavalry of 18 is reduced to two, and the Cataphract negates entirely the cavalry bonuses of Camels (10) and Mamelukes (9, or 12 at Elite). It even halves Halberdier's immense 32 bonus damage.
Only Mongols, Chinese, middle east (Berbers, Saracens, Turks, Persians, Indians, Byzantines) and african (Ethiopians, Malians) civilizations have camels.
Further StatisticsEdit
Civilizations bonusesEdit
- Chinese: Technologies that benefits Camels are 10%/15%/20% cheaper in Feudal/Castle/Imperial age.
- Byzantines Camel units are 25% cheaper.
- Indians Camels have +1 armor/+1 pierce armor.
- Berbers Camels are 20% cheaper in Castle and Imperial age
Team BonusesEdit
- A team containing Huns: Camels are produced 20% faster.
- A team containing Teutons: Camels are more resistant to conversion.
- A team containing Indians: Camels have +6 attack vs buildings.
The Conquerors ChangesEdit
- Camels gain 0.05 speed and gain 5 damage against other Camels (but no longer count as cavalry, resulting in a net loss of 4 damage against Camels).
The Forgotten ChangesEdit
- Upgrade to Heavy Camel takes -20 seconds to research.
- Camels have +1 base attack (6), but -1 attack bonus vs. cavalry (9).
African Kingdoms Changes Edit
- Camels are no longer classified as ships

- The camel is one of the few units whose availability among civilizations corresponds very well with real-world history. The camel was used by different armies between the Mediterranian sea and India from antiquity to modern day. While it is not known if the Mongols and Chinese used the camel for combat, they certainly used it for transporting ammunition, and for food, respectively.
- The Far Eastern civilizations of the Mongols and the Chinese would have been as likely to domesticate the lesser known of the two species of camel, the Bactrian (two hump) Camel, native to the steppes of Central Asia, as the familiar Middle Eastern Dromedary; both would have been introduced by Silk Road traders.
- Camels are one of two military units that do not make the usual military sound when created, the other being Trebuchets.
- Camels are treated as ships by the game and therefore receive bonus damage from towers and the heated shot upgrade. (As of African Kingdoms camels are no longer classified as ships)
- The Camel make the same sound effects as the Camel Rider.
History Edit
"The Camel was a useful mount for warriors in desert regions of the world because it could move quickly across sand and could go long periods without water. In addition, horses shied away from the presence of camels. The Saracens made good use of camels during the Crusades; camel riders appeared out of the desert to raid Crusader outposts and caravans and then escaped back into terrain that horses could not cross."

SYRACUSE For the first time this winter, the Baldwinsville indoor track and field teams got to line up in a new venue – Onondaga Community College's SRC Arena.
Opened earlier this month, the arena will serve as the new home for Section III indoor meets, which were held at Manley Field House before it was turned into Syracuse University's football practice facility.
First up for the Bees was Wednesday night's Jack Morse Relays. B'ville's boys were 11th with 10.7 points, while the girls had seven points for 15th place. Cicero-North Syracuse won both sides.
Most of B'ville's boys points were attained in the sprint medley relay. Andy Fleming, Jeff Mahar, Nate Wicks and Alec Peinkofer finished in 3:44.71, topped only by Liverpool, who won the race in 3:44 flat.
Jack Martin, Josh Perez, Sean Maar and Matt Pond combined for sixth place in the distance medley relay in 11:35.85. Dan Walker, Ethan Plouffe, Austin McAskill and Joe Stanard matched that finish in the 4x200 relay in 1:44.36. Harrison Warner tied for fifth (5 feet 7 inches) in the high jump. McAlister and Maar were eighth in the triple jump.
On the girls end, Cierra Allen, Gina Carnovale, Stephanie Vasteno and Mackenzie Ross posted a time of 4:33.70 for third place in the 1,600 sprint medley. Emily Soeder cleared 4 feet 8 inches in the high jump, tying for sixth place, while Lauren Schmidt and Ashley Pasano were sixth (53 feet 4 ¾ inches) in the triple jump.
B'ville also was seventh in the 4x800 relay as Emily McComb, Hannah Olds, Dana Mitchell and Emily Thompson won its heat in 11:26.18. The Bees were eighth in the distance medley relay (14:16.62) and ninth in the 4x400 relay in 4:42.29 as it returns to SRC Arena next Wednesday for the John Arcaro Memorial.

Sonicfire Pro 4.5 adds Smart Recall
updated 02:25 am EDT, Tue April 17, 2007
Sonicfire Pro 4.5 debuts
SmartSound at NAB launched Sonicfire Pro 4.5 and its new BackStage service. Sonicfire Pro 4.5, an update to the company's music and scoring technology for film and video professionals, features Smart Recall, which brings new customization options to music tracks exported as standard audio file formats. Sonicfire Pro music scores which have been exported as .WAV or .AIFF files are now embedded with the project information used to create the track. The company said that scores can be opened in Sonicfire Pro 4 directly from a video editing timeline to make changes for length, arrangement and mix as a production evolves.
Sonicfire Pro 4.5 also debuts a Network Edition for editors who worked in a networked environment. The Network Edition includes Express Track, which takes music library search engines to the next level by including the ability to specify exact lengths, arrangement and individual instrument levels of any track found through a search before bringing it into a video editing timeline.
The new BackStage service brings new music content and automated solutions to production companies and other post-production professionals. The new Automatic Cue Sheet service in BackStage converts Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) exported from video editing systems to cue sheets with cue lengths, names, composer and publisher information automatically completed for SmartSound music and more than 160,000 tracks from other music libraries.
BackStage also features premium music content that matches the exclusivity and quality of needledrop music with the advantage of SmartSound's customization technology and royalty-free licensing. Customers can also submit their own private music for encoding or request custom-composed music from SmartSound's team of composers - in both cases, the company said, the music will have the same customization abilities as tracks from SmartSound's music library.
Existing owners of Smartsound Sonicfire Pro 4 can receive Sonicfire Pro 4.5 Standard Edition as a free upgrade or receive a limited-time discount price of $50 per seat to upgrade to the Network Edition. This discounted price is limited to two seats. Sonicfire Pro 4.5 Standard is $200 per seat, while the Network edition is $300 per seat.

The Pope affirmed this today during the general audience in St. Peter's Square, which he dedicated to another reflection on the life and teaching of St. Paul.
"In Paul's encounter with Jesus," the Holy Father said, "he had understood the central significance of the cross: He had understood that Jesus had died and risen for all and also for [Paul], himself. Both elements were important -- the universality: Jesus had truly died for everyone; and the subjectivity: He had died also for me."
The Pontiff said that the cross thus reveals the "gratuitous and merciful love of God."
He added, "For St. Paul, the cross has a fundamental priority in the history of humanity; it represents the principal point of his theology, because to say cross means to say salvation as grace given to every creature. The theme of the cross of Christ becomes an essential and primary element in the preaching of the Apostle."
Benedict XVI said that Paul wanted to remind all of us, not just the Christians of Corinth and Galatia, that "the Risen One is always the One who has been crucified."
"The 'scandal' and the 'foolishness' of the cross are precisely in the fact that there, where there seems to be only failure, sorrow and defeat, precisely there, is all the power of the limitless love of God, because the cross is the expression of love and love is the true power that is revealed precisely in this apparent weakness," he added.
Rejecting foolishness
Nevertheless, both today and in Paul's time, there are those who cannot accept the "foolishness" of the cross, the Pope noted.
"For the Jews, the cross contradicts the very essence of God, who has manifested himself with prodigious signs. Therefore, to accept the cross of Christ means to undergo a profound conversion in the way of relating with God," he said. "[F]or the Greeks, that is, the pagans, the criteria for judgment in opposing the cross is reason. […] For those who, like the Greeks, sought perfection in the spirit, in pure thought, it was already unacceptable that God became man, submerging himself in all the limits of space and time.
"Therefore it was decidedly inconceivable to believe that a God could end up on the cross! And we see how this Greek logic is also the common logic of our time."
Why then, the Holy Father asked, did Paul make of the cross the "fundamental point of his preaching?"
"The answer is not difficult," he said. "The cross reveals 'the power of God' which is different than human power. It reveals in fact his love: 'For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.'
"Centuries after Paul, we see that the cross, and not the wisdom that opposes the cross, has triumphed. The Crucified is wisdom, because he manifests in truth who God is, that is, the power of love that goes to the point of the cross to save man. […] The Crucified reveals, on one hand, the weakness of man, and on the other, the true power of God, that is, the gratuitousness of love: Precisely this gratuitousness of love is true wisdom."
The Pontiff said an "admirable synthesis" of this theology of the cross can be found in the Second Letter to the Corinthians.
There, there are two "fundamental affirmations," he noted. "On one hand, Christ, whom God has treated as sin on our behalf, has died for us; on the other hand, God has reconciled us with himself, not attributing to us our sins. By this 'ministry of reconciliation' all slavery has been purchased."
It is here, the Holy Father said, that we can see "how all of this is relevant for our lives."
He explained: "We also should enter into this 'ministry of reconciliation,' which always implies renouncing one's own superiority and choosing the foolishness of love.
"St. Paul has renounced his own life, giving himself totally for the ministry of reconciliation, of the cross that is salvation for all of us. And this is what we should also know how to do: We can find our strength precisely in the humility of love and our wisdom in the weakness of renunciation to thus enter into the strength of God.
"We should build our lives on this true wisdom: To not live for ourselves, but to live in the faith in this God, about whom all of us can say: 'He loved me and gave himself up for me.'"

Hayfork basketball star looks forward after tragic wreck
Leanna Ferrer's stat sheet reads two points for this season.
That was 371 points fewer than the Hayfork senior scored last basketball season and 145 baskets fewer than her section-title winning junior campaign.
But it was that one basket on Feb. 12 against Champion Christian that brought a packed gym to its feet, left most teary-eyed and reminded them of the power of the human spirit and the determination of a remarkable young woman.
Ferrer, 18, nearly died in a June 19 single-vehicle crash outside Weaverville. The wreck killed her stepfather, John Dunn, injured his 19-year-old pregnant fiancee, Heather McCauley, and sent the then-17-year-old three-sport athlete to the hospital in critical condition with a head injury.
"I don't remember a whole lot - bits and pieces," she said.
The California Highway Patrol said the sedan driven by McCauley was headed east on Highway 299 near Union Hill Road outside Weaverville. A vehicle she was following slowed and stopped to make a left turn. McCauley, the CHP said, at first failed to recognize the stopped vehicle, then braked and swerved to avoid the collision. That sent her car across the westbound lanes and down a 50-foot embankment, where it struck a tree.
Ferrer spent 25 days in a coma at Mercy Medical Center in Redding, emerging in late July.
And 258 days after her world careened into that ditch, Ferrer checked into the game against Champion Christian, took her familiar spot in the low post and made a single, orchestrated basket.
Ferrer's journey back to the hardwood, while somewhat scripted, defied the odds. But that's the crux of who she is, her coaches and teachers say - a good, hardworking kid.
"I lost Leanna; Leanna got lost," she said. "This is the Leanna that was born after the accident. I guess I'll never be the same."
Sports as a vehicle
School and sports had been Ferrer's domain, Hayfork coach Jim Bayley said. Her Hayfork coaches saw her potential and worked toward getting Ferrer to play either basketball or volleyball - her first love - at the College of the Redwoods in Humboldt County.
"We'd talked to the coaches out there," Bayley said. "In my mind, athletics were the way out of Hayfork."
Aaron Williams: Ferrer's shot is a poignant one to all
Bad timing
It wasn't quick enough.
"We'd gotten her a plan and then the accident happened," Bayley said. "It was like being kicked in the groin.
"This wreck devastated her physically. She was so close."
The coach said there were moments he had his doubts that Ferrer would lead a normal life, let alone step back on the basketball court.
"Maybe it's my optimism, but I had hopes she was going to be OK," said Bayley, who had expected Ferrer to make a full recovery.
But she remained in the induced coma for 25 days, even after attempts to allow her to regain consciousness failed.
"When she didn't come out, I realized it was more serious," Bayley said. "It was hard to watch her writhing and contorting (while comatose). I had to leave."
Back in Hayfork
But Bayley kept her on the basketball roster as a carrot for her recovery after she finally returned to Hayfork in mid-July.
She attended practices, dressed for home games, but physically she just wasn't able to play at the varsity level.
"When she came back, she wrote like a second-grader and her motor skills had deteriorated," said Colleen Brown, Hayfork's special day class teacher.
Ferrer shuffles her feet when she walks to keep her balance, her equilibrium unsteady after banging her head as the car plummeted down the ditch. She has bouts of double vision and her speech is slower.
"She's still pretty unfiltered," Bayley said. "It just comes out a little slower."
But her mental faculties are rebounding nicely, Brown said, and the prognosis is that Ferrer will get back to 95 percent of her old abilities.
Still, both coach and player knew early in the season that Ferrer would be more of a fixture on the bench than on the court. And that's when she became like Bayley's player-assistant from the first seat on the bench.
"There's a freshman out there who took my spot," Ferrer said of coaching her old position.
But Bayley said he wanted Ferrer to experience - if just once more - what had been snatched away that June evening.
"I put her on the roster just for that moment," Bayley said. "What it was for me was a chance to say 'thank you' and that 'we haven't forgotten you.' "
Bayley orchestrated Ferrer's Feb. 12 basket, with the blessing of Champion Christian coach Mike Pena, weeks before the Timberjacks and Mustangs tipped off.
But the tricky thing about manufacturing sports moments is the unpredictable nature of the contest.
"It was difficult because it was bit presumptuous to assume we'd be up comfortably," Bayley said. "To me, it transcends the score. It's manufactured, but so what?"
The day of the game, Ferrer said she was nervous and embarrassed.
"You'd have to be me to know how it was to go in as a top player and then go in as not one, with no one guarding you," Ferrer said. "It was kind of embarrassing, but it's not. Everyone was there to cheer me on."
The coach, Ferrer and Hayfork players knew the time would come in the second half, but when, exactly, seemed to be the only suspense remaining in a runaway Hayfork win.
"I knew it was going to be in the fourth quarter," Ferrer said. "The whole quarter was sketchy, like 'When am I going in?' and when the 4-minute mark came, I was like 'Maybe he forgot.' "
Then the call came with a dead ball at the 3:23 mark of a 45-14 game.
"He's like 'OK, get up,'<0x00A0>" she said. "It was, 'Wow, I'm going in for the first time this season.' "
Teammate Alysha Yeske, who had wanted to be part of the celebration, brought the ball up court, handed it off to Ferrer, who pivoted right, squared up to the basket, dribbled it once and laid it nicely off the glass.
"When I saw Leanna's move, it was just like we practice - block-to-block, catch, pivot, dropstep, dribble and shoot," Bayley said. "She was so worried she was going to miss."
Before the ball hit the floor, Ferrer darted back toward the familiar confines of the bench as Champion brought the ball down for its uncontested makeup bucket.
Still, it was hard for Ferrer, once a go-to player, to accept that her one moment this season would be staged, with nine players - and half the town of Hayfork - watching her.
"To be able to do this for them (the Hayfork community) and myself made me feel good," Ferrer said. "Yeah, I was embarrassed having pictures taken of me, I'm not very photogenic, but I was doing it for my community, my people."
Road to recovery
And it's "her people" who are with her each day, helping with schoolwork and a daily therapy to-do list.
If it's not speech therapy, it's physical therapy or occupational therapy. Or Pilates. Or the chiropractor.
"We started school in August and she was there the first day," Brown said. "She started speech therapy at the end of July."
And while it's been a long road back - her motor skills had atrophied so much that she couldn't bounce a ball, let alone play sports - Ferrer has shown gradual improvement.
"I can walk and bounce a ball now, but I can't run and do it," she said.
Don't expect her to ask for sympathy, however.
"I don't feel bad for myself. I can still be me. I can walk, talk, hang out with my friends, discuss things," she said. "I don't have to use a toe to point something out. I can say what I want. It may be a little stuttered, but I can say it."
But, Brown said, in some ways the "new Leanna" has something more to offer than athletic prowess.
"She was a leader before," the teacher said. "She's taken a different position as a leader now; she's a caregiver. We have some severely handicapped kids on campus and she's amazing with them. Very persistent at getting them to behave.
"She's probably got a different gift. She's still a leader, but her gift has changed."
And while life is different for the once active, quick-tongued Hayfork girl, she hasn't once cried.
"I was born again that day. I have a second chance," she said. "God put an angel with me that day and it had to be my stepfather."
Brown and Ferrer say they'll continue to make up academics missed, work hard in therapy and look toward online college classes when the time comes.
"We're hoping with online that we can do something from here," Brown said. "I hope to see her in a school system where she can help other kids. She's really good with kids. She has a drive and she can do whatever she wants. But we'll take it one day at a time."
Which is fine with Ferrer.
"The future holds for me, um, a lot," Ferrer said. "I'm not giving up. ... I've got a whole life ahead of me."

Filth file
A disgraceful but entertaining adornment to the architectural summer has been the anonymous publication of a samizdat title called Erection. The tone is set by the front cover, featuring an image lifted (probably) from a gay porn magazine, in which the cover-boy's most impressive feature is replaced by a suitably sized image of Norman Foster's 'erotic gherkin'. Inside are satirical attacks, bar surveys (the authors must be Clerkenwell-based) and generally naughty stuff, but architecturally informed. The funniest bit is a column called 'Dear Rem', which answers pretend letters from the famous, this one from Farshid Moussavi:
'Dear Rem, I want to be the most famous female architect in the world, but what do I do about Zaha? Do I kill her?' The Koolhaas 'answer': 'One man's hatred cannot alter another man's destiny.' The authors are threatening a 'celebrity issue' this autumn, and are seeking material at erectionmag@hotmail. com. Not for the faint-hearted?

Switch out engine
I have a 2 wheel drive 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 3.7L V6, how much am I looking to upgrade to a larger V8 and convert to 4 wheel drive? Is it even worth it? Does my current engine, with 25,000 miles, hold any trade-in value? Thanks for any help.

When the line forms Friday evening at First Presbyterian Church in Greenville, at least two members of the Rice family will be in familiar roles.
"Claire and I will be there in the chow line, dishing out meat sauce," Towers Rice Sr. says with a smile.
The role is fitting because Rice has a long history of serving others. He joined the Kiwanis Club of Greenville 50 years ago, and he's been doing his part to make fundraisers successful ever since.
The club's biggest annual fundraiser takes center stage Friday, when its Spaghetti Dinner & Silent Auction begins at 6 p.m. at the big church on West Washington Street. The event has been a fixture on the March calendar for more years than Rice can remember.
For Rice, a former club president who followed in his father's footsteps when he joined Kiwanis in June 1961, this one is notable because that family tradition will once again be on display: Son Towers Jr., who joined the club after years of prodding from his father, is Kiwanis president-elect and chairman of the fundraiser.
The elder Rice, a hearty U.S. Marine Corps veteran who turns 80 in July, got a clear message as he watched his own father attend the twice-monthly Kiwanis meetings in the 1950s, even after Parkinson's disease had confined him to a wheelchair. Helping civic organizations like Kiwanis was an important part of life.
"It was one of the last things he gave up," Rice says of his father, the late Ibzan Rex Rice. "He kept going to meetings a lot longer than he should have."
Towers Sr., a former Georgia Tech wrestler, has discovered similar joys in Kiwanis.
"I've never been to a bad Kiwanis meeting. There have been times when the food wasn't so great, and some times that the program wasn't so great," says Rice, "but the fun and the fellowship are always there."
The elder Rice says the ongoing Kiwanis projects are "things we owe to the community. This community has been good to us."
Kiwanis projects often are long-term, he says, helping the community and individuals in ways that might not be apparent for decades.
"We sponsor a police softball league, which gives the local police a chance to get to know the kids better. An officer once told me that a kid who started playing in that league eventually changed his entire circle of friends," Rice recalls. "That's the type of thing that motivates you."
Rice, who remains very active in property management and as part-owner of the Overhead Door Co., also calls his Kiwanis membership "a two-pronged thing. Being in Kiwanis does a lot for me, and I think we do our part for the community."
Dinners like the one Friday, which will be accompanied by a silent auction, support a Kiwanis budget that funds projects such as Terrific Kids (in about 40 local schools), the Red Cross Learn to Swim program, and key clubs in local high schools.
Towers Rice Jr., who joined the club after several years of prodding from his father, hopes to have at least 250 diners Friday and hopes to raise about $15,000 through the event. Most of the funds will be generated by the auction.
Father and son have been busy for several weeks collecting auction items, many of them from fellow Kiwanis members.
"That's another great thing about Kiwanis you get to know great people who are involved in so many different things. You find out about J.D. Martin drilling those freshwater wells all around the world, and lots of others doing things, interesting things, right in this area.
"It's just a good way to get to meet people," says Rice.

Do tell me friend, how many cups of tea have you had this week? I can promise you, whatever the number, I've had more. Seriously, Rainy Weather + Shorter Days + NaNoWriMo = Drinking Tea All Day Long. I am banging my head against the wall computer, trying to get my word count done each day. For some reason, the writing has been really hard for me this time around. The good news is that I met for the first time ever with a writing coach and I actually feel a little more hopeful about my writing than I have … Continue reading

10 years of Serving our Troops
A remarkable, unique-to-St. Paul effort -- Serving Our Troops -- on Friday marks the 10th anniversary of its first event, St. Paul to Kosovo.
Since 2004, St. Paul restaurateurs and community leaders have been saying thanks to deployed soldiers and their families. In so doing, they have pulled off the logistical challenges involved in serving steak dinners to troops thousands of miles from home, while family members enjoy the same meal right here in Minnesota at events linked via live video feed.
The volunteers have undertaken 10 such projects over the years, providing "dinner with the family" to Minnesota National Guard members as far away as Kuwait and Iraq and in Mississippi, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
It's been noted that no other group in the country has been able to match the scale or impact of Serving our Troops. After serving 80,000 steaks, those sustaining the effort deserve our thanks.
Setting the table
It'll take a big table to accommodate the guests at a Sept. 14 community meal in Frogtown.
Make that a half-mile-long table, to be set on Victoria Street for 2,000 guests at Create: The Community Meal, a project of Public Art St. Paul and artist Seitu Jones.
In a video, Jones describes the event as an "artistic intervention in the urban food system." It was inspired by seeing neighbors pass by his studio with packaged, processed convenience-store foods.
The gathering from 1 to 5 p.m.
Reservations -- by Aug. 15 -- are required for the event, also a celebration of art, dance and the spoken word. Go to: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/create-the-community-meal-tickets-11808546681.
Organizers also are looking for volunteers to assist in event production and serving the meal. Learn more at: publicartstpaul.com/create/volunteer.
"Create," described as a multi-year initiative, began with an award from the Joyce Foundation. It also has received support from the Central Corridor Funders Collaborative, the Knight Foundation and other groups.
Diverse workers
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development held its second annual Diversity Career Fair Thursday in Brooklyn Park.
The rationale, in part: Communities of color were hit harder by the Great Recession. While the overall state unemployment rate for 2013 was 4.9 percent, African American Minnesotans faced an unemployment rate of 15 percent, an increase from 13.8 percent in 2012, according to DEED. Hispanic and American Indian Minnesotans also face unemployment rates that are significantly higher than average.
Participants included about 125 companies -- in such industries as manufacturing, health care and transportation -- looking for workers.
Meanwhile, Gov. Mark Dayton on Monday issued an executive order directing state agencies to hire more employees with disabilities. The order notes that to be competitive in the global economy, the state must use the talents and contributions of all workers, including people with disabilities.
The order also said that the percentage of state employees who self-identified as having a disability declined from about 10 percent in 1999 to less than 4 percent in 2013.
'A Minnesota must'
We know the drawing power of Como Zoo and Conservatory. It's Minnesota's most-visited attraction, with about 2 million visitors a year.
This week, TripAdvisor is spreading the word, naming Como among the best zoos in the nation (No. 20 of 25) and touting our St. Paul jewel as "a Minnesota must," offering free fun for all ages.
Como, one of the last zoos in the nation with a free-admission policy, suggests a voluntary donation of $3 for adults and $2 for children.
The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha ranked first in the nation, and also No. 1 on a separate list of the world's top zoos.
A mile-long book
Volunteers who report at noon Saturday to Capitol View Park on St. Paul's West Side will have an unusual mission. They will help unfurl a "mile-long book" across the High Bridge during the second Art on the Avenue Festival.
The park is at Smith and Cherokee avenues.
The book, a project of visual artist Sarah Stengle, is composed of folded paper squares that have been worked on by several hundred children and adults. Stengle expects the book to reach at least halfway across the bridge this year and all the way by 2015, the Pioneer Press' Mary Ann Grossmann reported this week.
Materials used in the project include pages from old books, accounting paper, drawings by kids and other paper, all recycled or donated to the effort.
Dinosaur Day
It won't be long, says the Science Museum of Minnesota, before "Ultimate Dinosaurs" goes the way of its star performers.
The exhibit, which closes Aug. 24, features 20 fully articulated specimens from unusual locations in the Southern Hemisphere. St. Paul is its third North American stop and only the second in the United States.
It's a chance to see both the tiny Eoraptor and the massive Giganotosaurus (T. rex's bigger, badder cousin), the museum says.
Saturday is Dinosaur Day, with special dinosaur- and fossil-related activities around the museum from noon 4 p.m.
Further, where dinosaurs roam, the skies are not cloudy all day, Opinuendo sayeth not.

A Vibrant Campus at the Heights
One step on campus and it's clear BC is a special place. From Stokes Hall to the new McMullen Museum of Art, today's campaign-funded building projects honor the past while redefining the future.
The Boston College campus is one of the world's most picturesque—and it provides the physical foundation for the University's distinctive mission to educate the whole person.
Beyond mere bricks and mortar, each project invigorates the University community with a renewed sense of purpose. Campaign gifts to buildings like Stokes Hall help BC attract and retain the best faculty, create physical spaces that promote collaboration between undergraduates and professors, and enable students to reach their potential inside and outside the classroom.
The University's new residence hall at 2150 Commonwealth Avenue and the McMullen Museum of Art's move to Brighton Campus are among the latest projects underway thanks to the Light the World campaign.
Similarly, the restoration of Gasson and St. Mary's Halls, the upgrades to the Merkert Chemistry Center labs, and the renovation of O'Neill Plaza and Gasson Quad were all made possible through campaign funding.
Your support ensures the BC campus continues to grow—and heightens the student experience.

I think a lot of the reason for the selling (that started 2 years ago!) was that expectations went from $1.50+ per unit to .50 per unit. But I don't agree that the business model doesn't work at $.50.
There is something like 150 million 3DTVs expected to be sold in 2014, if I recall correctly. If SIO were able to sign LG and Samsung @ .50 they, along with TCL, Hisense and Vizio would have well over 50% of the global market (possibly as must as 70-75%).
150 million x .50 = $75 million. How does the business model not work? It all comes down to signing format deals. And imo that relies on 3DGO.

Reader's Almanac…Posted by: Kevin in Books, Historic Dates
..for today, July 1.
1863: The Battle of Gettysburg begins, three bloody days that ended Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North, which Lee had hoped would force the North to sue for peace. Union General George Meade's army of 90,000 took on Lee's invading force of 75,000 resulting in three days of grueling fighting that resulted in roughly 51,00o casualties and forced Lee to return to Virginia. The battle has inspired a number of award-winning books, including the eminently readable Gettysburg: The Last Invasion and Twilight at Little Round Top. For a fictional treatment of Gettysburg, try Michael Shaara's critically acclaimed novel The Killer Angels.

|Neutral hydrogen (21 centimeter) absorption in Seyfert galaxies: Evidence for free-free absorption and sub-kiloparsec gaseous disks
|Gallimore, Jack; Baum, Stefi; O'Dea, Christopher; Pedlar, Alan; Brinks, Elias
|Active galaxies are thought to be both fueled and obscured by neutral gas removed from the host galaxy and funneled into a central accretion disk. We performed a VLA imaging survey of 21 cm absorption in Seyfert and starburst nuclei to study the neutral gas in the near-nuclear environment. With the exception of NGC 4151, the absorbing gas traces 100 pc scale, rotating disks aligned with the outer galaxy disk. These disks appear to be rich in atomic gas relative to nuclear disks in non-active spirals. We find no strong evidence for rapid in-fall or out-flow of neutral hydrogen, but our limits on the mass infall rates are compatible with that required to feed a Seyfert nucleus. Among the galaxies surveyed here, neutral hydrogen absorption traces parsec-scale gas only in NGC 4151. Based on the kinematics of the absorption line, the disk symmetry axis appears to align with the radio jet axis rather than the outer galaxy axis (cf. Mundell et al. 1995). The most surprising result is that we detect no 21 cm absorption towards the central radio sources of the hidden Seyfert 1 nuclei Mrk 3, Mrk 348, and NGC 1068. Moreover, 21 cm absorption is commonly observed towards extended radio jet structure but appears to avoid central, compact radio sources in Seyfert nuclei. To explain these results, we propose that 21 cm absorption towards the nucleus is suppressed by either free-free absorption, excitation effects (i.e., enhanced spin temperature), or rapid motion in the obscuring gas. Ironically, the implications of these effects is that the obscuring disks must be small, typically not larger than a few tens of parsecs.

NHL rumors: Caps' Martin Erat wants trade: 'Time for me to move on'
More NHL: Scores | Standings | League Leaders | Odds | Injuries | Power Rankings
Less than half a season after demanding a trade out of Nashville, forward Martin Erat has asked for another trade, this time from the Washington Capitals.
A report surfaced out of the Czech Republic about Erat venting his frustration with washington and asking for a trade. He didn't shy away from it on Monday, telling the Washington media the same thing. He wants out and fast.
Martin Erat confirmed that he asked for a trade. #Caps— Adam Vingan (@AdamVingan) November 25, 2013
Martin Erat: "Since day one, I didn't get the chance here. … It's time for me to move on." #Caps— Adam Vingan (@AdamVingan) November 25, 2013
With that, surely the general managers across the league are lining up (*sarcasm font off).
That's now twice in the span of seven months that Erat has requested a trade and in that time his value hasn't exactly gone up. If the requests weren't concern enough, his production has been down (although he notes that his playing time has been a major culprit) while his salary remains pretty high at $4.5 million.
In other words, good luck to Caps GM George McPhee in getting a good return value for Erat, especially now that teams know he wants out, further reducing McPhee's leverage in theory. The Caps might have to eat salary to give Erat what he wants, though McPhee says that won't happen. Either way, McPhee is willing to make a trade happen for Erat.
"Marty doesn't feel like he fits in here," McPhee said Monday. "If you don't feel like you fit in, we'll try to accommodate you."
This seems like a good time to remind you that the Capitals surrendered top young prospect Filip Forsberg to the Preds for Erat and Michael Latta, who has split time between the AHL and NHL this season. It was hard to like that trade from the start for the Caps. Now? Well, let's just say you can't win 'em all.
Erat, 32, has no goals and six assists in 23 games this season, averaging 13:00 of ice time per game. Dating back to last season he has just one goal and nine total points in 32 games for Washington. Safe to say it hasn't worked out well for the guy who regularly put up around 50 points for years.

A Killer's Wild Run After the Ambush Of a Police Officer
By ROBERT D. McFADDEN
Published: November 22, 1997
It began with the cold-blooded assassination of a police officer targeted at random in a quiet New Jersey shore town, officials said. And after three stolen cars and a high-speed chase punctuated by wild gunfire, it ended in chaos at the George Washington Bridge with a crash and more shots that left the killer dead and an officer critically wounded.
As the slain officer's family and hometown mourned and the Governors of New York and New Jersey made appearances yesterday in the high-profile case, investigators sought to untangle and reconstruct the trail of carnage and terror of a one-man crime wave through northern New Jersey Thursday evening. They said that two central questions of the case -- the identity of the assailant and his motive for killing an officer -- remained a mystery.
They told of a night when mere chance seemed to separate the living and the dead -- of 911 calls to lure a Long Branch officer into ambush and the slaying of one who happened by; of the assassin's desperate 60-mile flight on back roads and highways, broadcasting threats from a stolen police car; of motorists who stopped for gas and had a gun thrust in their faces and their cars taken, of pursuing officers being shot and cut by shattering windshields.
And they told of a dramatic finale at the bridge, where the fugitive's car slammed into another vehicle at the toll booths, and of more gunfire sounding. The assailant was found dead in the wreckage, a bullet in his head that may have come from his own gun. And a Port Authority officer was hit in the leg by a shotgun blast fired in a tragic mistake by a New Jersey state trooper.
Out of the night's confusion came a flood of clarifying details yesterday. While the police and prosecutors still had major questions, they were in no doubt about one thing.
''It was definitely an assassination,'' the Monmouth County Prosecutor, John Kaye, said at a late-afternoon news conference in Freehold. ''And it appears to be for an unknown reason. The operating theory is that this man was trying to lure a police officer.''
The slain officer, Detective Sgt. Patrick A. King, 45, a much-decorated, 21-year veteran of the Long Branch force who was married and the father of two sons, was mourned by his family, friends and a community of 30,000 yesterday as Gov. Christine Todd Whitman visited his family in Oceanport.
Later, Governor Whitman visited the wounded Port Authority police officer, Corvet Curley, at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, where Gov. George E. Pataki had gone earlier yesterday to pay his respects. Both expressed support for Officer Curley, who was in stable condition after surgery to repair an injured thigh, and condolences for the slain officer's family.
While the killer's name was unknown, Col. Carl A. Williams, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, described him as a black man, 20 to 40 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 191 pounds. He had a short-cropped goatee and mustache, no scars or tattoos and carried no identification papers. He wore no jewelry but was clad in blue jeans; a black T-shirt; a blue, white and red Tommy Hilfiger sport jacket, and green, black and white size 8 1/2 sneakers.
Investigators said the crimes that seemed to topple after one another like dominoes began in Long Branch at 8:14 P.M. with an anonymous call to 911 from a 7-Eleven convenience store. It was, Mr. Kaye said, an apparent attempt to draw an officer to that location. An officer who responded found no trouble there.
Five minutes after the first call, at 8:19, another bogus 911 call came in, this one from a Domino's Pizza in Long Branch. Before an officer could respond, Sergeant King, who normally works in plainclothes but was in uniform filling in for an officer off for training, drove up to the Ming Ying, a Chinese restaurant next door to the Domino's, and went in to pick up his usual order of chicken chow mein.
It was 8:20 P.M. Some screenwriter might have given the scene a grim sense of melodrama, but witnesses said there was nothing in it to arouse suspicion. Sergeant King stood at the counter and placed his hand-held radio on it, with his key ring hanging from the antenna.
The assailant entered behind him, drew a .38-caliber revolver and, without a word, fired twice. One bullet struck the Sergeant in the left temple, the other in the left side of the neck. He fell dead instantly. ''The officer had his back turned; he never saw what was happening,'' Mr. Kaye said. ''It was certainly the act of a coward.''
The gunman then took Sergeant King's 9-millimeter Beretta semiautomatic pistol, and his radio and keys, and fled in the Sergeant's cruiser, which did not have a rack of lights on its roof but lights that flashed from behind the grille.
With the cruiser's lights flashing and siren wailing, the gunman drove to the Garden State Parkway nearby and turned north. He was not yet being pursued, and his route in the first minutes of flight was unknown. But soon he was using the cruiser's radio to broadcast taunts and threats. Three of the transmissions were recorded, Mr. Kaye said.
''I am the (expletive) F.B.I.,'' the assailant declared.
And later: ''Now I know what it feels like to be a (expletive) cop.''

Drugs at Olympics Don´t Surprise Monsignor
Spiritual Guide of Italian Team Comments
| 645 hits
ROME, FEB. 26, 2002 (Zenit.org).- There was fear that the winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City would be marred by terrorist attacks. Instead, they may be remembered for the drug scandals among athletes.
Monsignor Carlo Mazza, spiritual guide of the Italian Olympic team in Salt Lake City, spoke about the problem over Vatican Radio.
"Sports at the highest level of competition is going through an era of commercialization and industrialization," the monsignor said. "Therefore, we run the risk of passing moral judgments without thoroughly understanding where it is headed."
Monsignor Mazza believes that the real question is: How is it possible to introduce authentic values in these conditions?
"I think this is the great challenge: to introduce real values in the sports world," he said. "Personally, I am not especially scandalized by doping, because it is a condition that is proper to a certain kind of sport that lives on performance, money and the laws of the market."
"The great problem is to try to understand well if this sport is conceived for man or against man," Monsignor Mazza emphasized.
"I think that those who are responsible at the world and international level, and also at the national, are working along this line; however, results will be achieved with great patience over time," he added.

GTA V Announced
Rockstar confirms GTA V (like we didn't know) and that the first trailer will be released next week though I wonder if this means hoilday release 2012 because I always expected an Easter release 2013.
What do you want to see in GTA 5? Personally I want better car controls and multiplayer to be expanded with more co-op modes though I did like the more realistic feel to GTA 4. I also would like less pyschic cops who seem to know I commited crimes despite no witness and my exact position all the time. I also would like a non Liberty city setting with San Andreas my choice. All in all a day 1 buy for me most likely and I am not even a hardcore GTA fan, since GTA 4 was the first GTA I brought since GTA 2 though I did play Vice City.

At Coaltrans conference in India this March - Anutosh Maitra - Managing director of state owned SAIL's Bokaro plant said he was looking to increase met coal purchases from sources other than Australian. He is planning to double imports from the US starting in 2013 India is looking to increase steel making capacity to 150 million mt / yr by 20217 - making India the second largest steel producer in the world. I hope SAIL is included as part of their connections.
I think the Portpool guys are going to make a killing on this transaction, hope s/p can recover and trade north of a buck after dilution and allow cthe longs to make a modest profit

Hi, Judith here!
I have been a bicycle woman for several years now. I saw Chicago Critical Mass once and was so charmed and excited that I had to get one so I could play with the cool kids. Now I ride everywhere, all year nearly (don't bother with snowy slush 'cause I am too delicate for that).
I am pretty much going to read and learn for awhile, but thought to introduce myself proper was neighborly. Hola companera/os!
OH, have one question. I have an old Miyata 910 that is perfect better than perfect but it's just too perfect for me. Wanted to see how much it might be worth, so that someone who would appreciate it more than me could do so. I am a milk crate and bungee cord kinda woman, and such bike is too wonderful for me. I have the original handlebars but put a straight on on for utility. I have also buggared it up with a rack and baskets on the back, but all that sacrilege can be remedied easily. It's in perfect condition, original hardware, oh, there is a white scratchy place on it but the paint (anarchist red and black and very groovy) is all sweet and shiny and intact.
Is there a place that properly such questions should be asked? If so just let me know and I will wander over there.
