College Hockey:Jardine, Slow-Starting RedHawks Overcome Buckeyes
COLUMBUS, Ohio — After mustering just six shots on goal in the first period, the Miami RedHawks scored two unassisted goals in the second period, and went on to beat the Ohio State Buckeyes 3-1 in Value City Arena.
Nick Jardine had two goals on the night, including the unassisted empty-netter at 19:44 to cement the Miami victory. David Burleigh made 33 saves as the Buckeyes outshot the RedHawks 34-24.
"I don't know what it is about this building," said Miami head coach Enrico Blasi, "but David Burleigh was the difference again tonight." Burleigh was key in Miami's 4-1 win in the Schott on Feb. 9.
"He seems to play well here. I thought Ohio State had some great chances early again," said Blasi, "but once again we got some opportunistic goals…and we were able to hang on for the win."
After a scoreless first period during which the Buckeyes outshot the RedHawks 12-6, Jardine gave Miami the 1-0 lead at 3:39 in the second, stealing the puck in the Miami end and taking the play — at a leisurely pace — coast to coast. Jardine criss-crossed the neutral zone, moving from left to right, and shot from the right circle at a steep angle, taking Buckeye goaltender Mike Betz off guard and beating the rookie five-hole. The goal was Miami's eighth shot on goal.
Jason Deskins made it 2-0 at 10:01 in the second, another unassisted, full-court effort, just after the RedHawks stymied a Buckeye breakaway at the other end.. Deskins picked up the loose puck and skated in on the Miami three-on-two, firing through a screen from the left circle and beating Betz on the short side for the two-goal lead.
Miguel Lafleche spoiled Burleigh's shutout by lifting Pete Broccoli's rebound up and over Burleigh's glove at 16:05 in the third, but Jardine added his second unassisted goal at 19:34, an empty-netter shot the length of the ice from just inside the Buckeye blueline.
In the last minute with Betz pulled in favor of the extra OSU skater, Miami dealt with the added pressure, said Blasi, by maintaining discipline. "They did a really nice job of not giving them many shots in tight. Pat Leahy comes to mind. He did a really nice job of fighting off Dufour there at the end. All of our guys out there…did a nice job and Burleigh was there.
"You can tell when Burleigh's on. He seems to be in a zone."
Ohio State head coach John Markell agreed that Burleigh was one big factor in this tight contest. "I think we created enough opportunities to score some goals. You saw the kind of goal we had to score to get one going. It would have been nice to get it a little bit earlier. I thought we came out with the intensity we needed, and it built as the game went on.
"Their second goal was somewhat suspect on the pick I thought, but Burleigh was the difference. They did the little things right to secure a road win. I thought at points we were standing around in the second period."
With the win, the RedHawks secure the Ohio Cup, which is awarded annually by the Buckeye Sports Bulletin to the Ohio CCHA team with the best record against its other instate opponents. Blasi said that winning the cup is "in all honest…a big deal."
"If you go back and look at the years that teams have won it, I'd almost bet you … one of the teams has gone to the national tournament or has gone to the Joe from winning the Ohio Cup."
Miami is now 19-14-2 (16-10-1 CCHA) and tied with Nebraska-Omaha for third place in the CCHA. The RedHawks own that tie-breaker, winning 16 league contests to UNO's 15.
Ohio State is now 16-15-2 (13-12-2 CCHA) and still tied with Western Michigan for fifth place in the CCHA, but the Broncos have a game in hand on the Buckeyes. Should Western and OSU remain tied at the end of the season, Ohio State would have the tie-breaker on league wins.
The Buckeyes and RedHawks face off again Friday, Mar. 2, at 7:35 p.m. in Goggin Arena, the final regular-season game for each team.

Dr. Mercola, nationally known expert in holistic approach to well being explains the dangers of the root canal procedure…
Category Archives: Root Canal
Laser Pulpotomy – Real-Life Photos of a Baby Root Canal
Often we find that the earlier we tackle a problem, the easier it is resolved.
This is certainly so with cavities in teeth – they hardly ever go away, if we just wait, even though we might at times be tempted to believe that.
Fortunately most parents of small children are eager to handle any cavities they discover in their children's teeth. But these teeth are often so small and cavities can not be easily discovered by the naked eye, especially if they develop between teeth – and flossing the teeth of a four-year old is not an easy task.
An additional factor in baby teeth is that cavities can develop rather quickly and virtually undetectable under the enamel. Only when this fragile outer shell collapses do they become obvious.
This might then look like this baby molar…
If this is a tooth that would fall out very soon it could be removed to save the child from any possible tooth ache, but if this tooth is still needed to keep the space open for the permanent tooth to grow into, it need to be saved. Extracting the tooth and then using a spacer to maintain the opening for the new tooth would probably the more costly and way more inconvenient solution.
If we are in the fortunate situation that the majority of the pulp and nerve are still savable, a pulpotomy can be performed (see the graphical explanation).
The following sequence of images shows how this procedure is performed.
Laser Pulpotomy – Illustrations of a Baby Root Canal
Cavities in baby teeth progress faster and affect the nerve sooner than in permanent teeth. Long before a cavity becomes visible in a baby molar, it grows inside the dentin. Only when the overlying enamel collapses a "hole" in the tooth is revealed. The true extent of the cavity at this stage is usually three times as large as what it appears to be from the outside.
The following graphics by Dr. Sarkissian show this development and the treatment of this condition. A permanent tooth would require a root canal treatment at this stage, but for a primary tooth a laser pulpotomy is indicated which keeps the tooth alive.
You can read the article about a real-world pulpotomy to see this procedure performed on a child's primary molar.
You can find more information on Dr. Sarkissian's web site under
Services ->Laser Pulpotomy.
Laser Direct Cap – Preventing Root Canals
The old school of dentistry considers a tooth saved after a root canal procedure has been performed. It is true that a tooth can survive this procedure for many years, maybe even the rest of the life.
But looking at it a bit closer this perspective does not quite hold true. Although the outer shell seems to be hard as an inanimate object the tooth is a living part of the body. Fact is that the inner parts of the tooth contains living tissue that needs to be nourished to stay healthy. Once the root canal procedure is performed, removing nerve and blood vessels and filling the now empty cavity with an inanimate substance, the tooth indeed becomes an object that is no longer connected to body fluids that make it a functioning part of the body. It has become a dead object that is no longer renewed and protected by the body's defenses. Bacteria entering through the tiniest cracks might cause persistent infections because there are no blood vessels any longer that would bring white blood cells to fight that infection.
Therefore a root canal should be only a very last resort and every effort should be made to save the inner living part of the tooth – the root canal.
The direct cap procedure is such an effort. The following illustrations by Dr. Sarkissian demonstrate this procedure.
1. HEALTHY TOOTH: A healthy tooth is covered by a shell of enamel, the hardest substance in the body. It is a complex organ comprised of all three embryological layers.
2. CAVITY FORMATION – EARLY STAGE: A cavity starts when bacteria in plaque produce acids which eat away at the surface of the enamel.
3. CAVITY FORMATION – DENTINE INVASION: As the cavity penetrates the softer dentine, it spreads like a wave and infects the microscopic tubes of this live tissue.
4. CAVITY FORMATION – DEEP DECAY: Very soon it approaches the nerve chamber, or the pulp, causing an inflammation which at this stage is reversible. This is when one feels mild pain or heightened sensitivity to sweets and cold.
5. DRILLING OUT GROSS DECAY: Treatment is initiated by removing the outer layers of decay with a slow drill.
6. LASER EXCAVATION AND DECONTAMINATION: The deep layers of decay are removed with the Waterlase® at lower settings, to avoid trauma to the nerve. There is no mechanical insult to the nerve, such as vibration, smearing or heat, which is the case when using drills. The infected dentine is thus removed completely, resulting many times in an exposure of the pulp.
7. EXPOSED PULP: If the nerve (pulp) is still healthy, it may bleed slightly. At this stage the exposure is treated like a wound. It is gently irrigated with hydrogen peroxide, followed with an isotonic homeopathic remedy.
8. DIRECT CAP: The exposure is gently covered with MTA, a cement well known for its biocompatibility and ability to preserve vitality of tissues with which it comes into contact.
9. CORE BUILDUP: The remaining cavity is then lined with a self-priming bonding agent without disturbing the MTA. After drying, the whole dentine surface is built up with a core of a flowable composite or compomer.
10. FINAL RESTORATION: The tooth is restored with an esthetic, tooth-colored bonded restoration, preferably an indirect porcelain inlay or onlay. The biomimetic principle is followed, which means that each part of the tooth that was restored, functionally mimics the biological tissue it is replacing.
Root Canal Treatment – The Last Resort – Illustrations
It is obvious that at the first sign of a problem with your teeth we should go to the dentist and have him check the cause for this problem. Usually the hope that 'it will go away' does not come true – and the opposite happens – that things get worse and it might then be too late for a cure.
Tooth ache usually means that the nerves in the center of the tooth – the pulp – are being attacked by an infection. This is mostly caused by a cavity that remained too long untreated so that it penetrated the enamel, the underlying dentin and is now approaching the pulp.
The following illustrations show the progression and treatment of this condition.
Root Canals – Procedure, Risks, Disinfection, Materials
Root canal treatment is carried out on a tooth which has a dead nerve, an abscess of the roots, or a painful and irreversible inflammation of the nerve. It involves making an access hole on top of the tooth, and removing the nerve tissue within the canals with special files. These canals are then widened and irrigated to remove any remaining infected tissue, after which they are dried and ultimately filled with a special paste, which is intended to seal the canal space.
There is a common misconception that because of the controversy surrounding root canals, many people avoid treatment of dead teeth despite the fact that these dead nerves act as a mini gangrene made up of the utmost toxic material. These teeth have to be treated at all costs.
Alternative treatment includes extraction of the tooth, which then necessitates the placement of a bridge or an implant to cover the space of the missing tooth and to restore the bite.
Root canal risks:
- Some roots, which are thin, bent, flat, or decayed may be perforated or fractured by the root canal procedure. This compromises the outcome of the treatment and the tooth might need to be extracted.
- Root canalled teeth are more brittle because they are dead and do not receive nutrition from the pulp. This makes them more vulnerable to fractures.
- Vertical fractures may develop in a root canalled tooth due to the propagation of an existing micro-fracture already present in a tooth that has had a previous root canal, due to a post placed to build the tooth up for a crown, or due to a heavy bite. Because a root canalled tooth is dead, the ligament surrounding it and suspending it in the bone is prone to inflammation, which may cause long-standing tenderness to biting.
Disinfection and canal treatment protocols:
- Laser disinfection by the Waterlase laser
- Ozone injection into the canals
- Irrigation with antiseptic liquids
Materials: We rarely use gutta percha in our office. The permanent filler materials we use are one of four options (three general and one special):
- ENDOREZ: a resin-based material. This material is known to seal the canal systems thoroughly and even bond to the walls with resin tags.
- ENDOSEQUENCE: A bioceramic material that is also very biocompatible and sets to a hard consistency.
- MTA: Mineral Trioxide Aggragate is extremely biocompatible, but we only use it for canals that are of certain size and accessibility.
- ENDOCAL: a calcium-oxide, zinc-oxide based material. Highly biocompatible, and known for diffusing through the canal systems and disinfecting large portions of the root structure. Due to its multiple drawbacks, however, Dr. Sarkissian uses it only in special circumstances, or only for the purpose of medicating the canals for 2-4 weeks prior to being replaced by another material.
Drawbacks of Endocal: it is not as visible as Gutta percha in x-rays, making it harder to distinguish between filled vs. non-filled portions within the root canal complex. This means that future dentists may mistake it as an insufficiently filled root canal, and many insurance companies may deny claims for reimbursement. The American Association of Endodontists disapproves of its use due to claims of a higher incidence of root fractures.

Primer for getting a project deal done in Tucson:
– Only build in years when a majority of the Dem Council members are up for election
– Make liberal use of the word "sustainable" in both written and verbal presentations
– Set aside a "payola" line in your project budget for Neighborhood Associations and select non-profits
– Buy an extra acre in order to install sufficient bike racks to accommodate an entire Chinese province
– If successful, break ground immediately before the "..but I/My group wasn't consulted" season comes
– Bonus points for the art of the "no-build" project, where you still get paid for doing nothing – most commonly seen associated with Rio Nuevo
PHOENIX - Arizona is expected to finally begin adding jobs this year for the first time in four years.
That is, everywhere but Pima County.
Economists from the state Commerce Department predict that the number of people working in Arizona by the end of the year will be 17,300 more than in January. That's an increase of 0.7 percent.
While that does not seem like much, it is a big improvement from last year when the state lost 51,900 jobs. And two years ago 190,300 people found themselves out of work.
But Pima County's employment is predicted to be flat, with no net growth this year, said Aruna Murthy, the agency's director of economic analysis.
And next year, when Murthy figures state employment will rise another 1.4 percent over 2011 levels, Pima County will add only 2,700 jobs for an increase of eight-tenths of 1 percent.
A couple of factors appear to be at work, she said.
One is that while manufacturing employment is expected to increase, there is an exception in aerospace, a dominant industry in Tucson.
"We have seen in recent years there have been cutbacks in aerospace because of cuts in certain federal programs. That's one of the reasons why in Tucson you're not seeing as much gain," Murthy said.
Aerospace makes up 3.5 percent of the total Pima County workforce. For the rest of the state, the industry amounts to less than nine-tenths of 1 percent.
Complicating matters, Murthy said, is that some aerospace projects are being outsourced to Mexico and other countries.
The other weak element in Tucson's economy is the leisure and hospitality sector. While it is expected to grow by 3.1 percent statewide this year, Murthy is predicting a 0.2 percent drop in Pima County. She said some of that is because the Tucson economy remains weak, meaning people are not going out to eat as much.
And agency economists say there could be something else: The Major League Baseball teams that had conducted their spring training here have left, meaning fewer people are making trips to Southern Arizona.
Statewide, Murthy predicted that by the end of 2012 there will be nearly 2.43 million Arizonans with jobs. But that still will leave total state employment 284,000 below what it was at the peak in December 2007.
Arizonans should not expect to hit that top number again for some time.
"Most of the growth in Arizona came from the construction industry," she said. "And it came from people moving to Arizona."
Since then, home values nationwide have plummeted and many homeowners find themselves "underwater" on their mortgages, owing more than the houses are worth.
"They're essentially not able to move," and that brings migration to Arizona from other states to a virtual halt, Murthy said.
That is why she is figuring that construction employment will drop another 3,300 this year, to just 107,800. That compares to 247,500 at its peak.
Other sectors of the economy not expected to add jobs this year include information services and professional and business services. Murthy also predicts that state and local governments will continue to shed workers.
There are signs that things will improve. "Right now we are observing a weaker dollar. This weak dollar is actually promoting international tourism in the state."
She said the result is that over the next two years the leisure and hospitality industry statewide will add 17,400 jobs.
Similarly, she said the weaker dollar helps promote exports. That will increase not only manufacturing employment but also wholesale sales and the need for workers in trucking and shipping.
One of the biggest areas of job gains for Arizona continues to be private education and health care, where Murthy predicts the state will add another 22,300 jobs in the next two years.
This sector includes not only doctors, nurses and other health-care workers but also employees at private colleges and universities. While all other segments of the economy were shrinking during the last three years, these employers continued to add workers.
Murthy said enrollment at private colleges tends to go up when the economy is weak, as people look for new skills. Conversely, when the economy improves, people do not go back to school.
"But our unemployment rate in Arizona is still quite high," she said, with the latest figures statewide still at 9.5 percent.
The economist's general optimism about job growth is tempered by other factors. One is the rising price of oil. Most immediately, the more people must spend on gasoline, the less they have for other things. And Murthy warned of a "double whammy" because those higher energy costs also boost food prices.
Also, the Japanese tsunami have affected the supply chain, potentially affecting manufacturing in Arizona. And there is no particular upside for Arizona from the problems in Japan that could benefit Arizona electronics manufacturers. That's because the Japanese mainly make memory chips; what Arizona produces are processors.

Reagan inherited a economic mess after Carter and lost big in his first mid term elections as President. Reagan put in stability factors into the economy, challenged the size of government (air traffic controllers strike comes to mind) and let the business community know that it's time to invest and hire.
Obama passes a massive health care bill that doesn't change any cost structures and sends a shock wave of uncertainty through the entire health sector which makes up 20% of our economy. He threatens and flirts with cap and trade. He passes sweeping changes to the banking world that the big banks can maneuver but the small regional banks decide to lock down.
The rebound from the depths of 2008 and 2009 can be directly attributed to massive government spending. The credit card has been racked up and we are nearing $14 trillion in debt – equal to our total GDP – Greece anyone? Now that the debt ceiling has been reached what next? Is it time for stability?
How is Obama doing?

You couldn't make this stuff up. The Tucson governments management of Rio Nuevo will go down in the history books as one of the biggest boondoggles in Arizona history. Who else could spend $230 million and have little to nothing to show for it. In an effort to put a layer of public oversight Councilman Cunningham raised a motion to have the City Council approve change orders on projects over $1 million. I'm not sure most of the people on the council outside of Steve K and Cunningham actually know what a change order is but lets go along for now.
The move to take the change order process away from the bureaucrats is a threat to the power of the bureaucracy. After all the staff knows all and the council is only supposed to set policy. The problem is that the all knowing staff is hampering the councils chances of reelection because of all the insane decisions.
Everyone in the design and construction world knows that you bid Tucson projects low and make your money on the change orders. O'Dell chronicled two big fat juicy mess ups in the article:
Those projects include the Fourth Avenue Underpass, where the cost jumped from $31 million to $46 million; the Cushing Street Bridge, which has been beset by delays, cost overruns and bidding problems; and the Scott Avenue and Downtown Infrastructure Project, which ran at least $3 million over budget.
The Scott Avenue contract was originally awarded as a design contract of less than $600,000. It jumped to more than $9 million through change orders.
The fourth project, the proposed convention center hotel – which cost taxpayers $18 million in design before it was scrapped – also featured numerous change orders. City Attorney Mike Rankin said the council could be notified of the change orders, but change orders could not come back for council votes because the City Charter gives authority over the procurement process to the city procurement director.
The million dollar quote comes from Councilwoman Scott:
Councilwoman Shirley Scott said the move was tantamount to micromanagement. "We have a national-award-winning staff here," she said, adding the council shouldn't be watching every step.
Keep telling yourself that Shirley. Your national award winning staff may just cost you an election. Who's the only council person that has been in office since Rio Nuevo's inception in 1999?
Translation: If you don't approve to tax yourself more to support an inept (and possibly corrupt) municipality, kiss off!
City may cut, end furlough days for some
Rob O'Dell Arizona Daily Star Arizona Daily Star
Posted: Monday, April 25, 2011 12:00 am
To appease unions upset at the city's ongoing budget cuts, the City Council on Tuesday will consider ending furloughs for some employees and halving the furloughs for most employees if the economy improves.
The city has had unpaid furloughs for two years, and will continue them for the fiscal year that begins July 1. For next year, employees again were facing nine furlough days, which constitutes 3.5 percent of their salaries.
Union officials, including those in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, have urged for months to end furloughs for those employees in enterprise departments such as Tucson Water and Environmental Services. Union officials also want to end furloughs for any city employee who is funded with grant money from the state or the federal government.
Top city officials had been hesitant to agree, in part because eliminating furlough for some departments and not others can raise issues of equitable treatment. The issue is particularly problematic with grant funding because employees in the same departments could be paid through different funding sources.
But the council will consider a new plan that guarantees employees paid by the general fund and Tucson Water workers will have only five furlough days. They would need to be taken between July and December. The remaining four furlough days could be waived if the economy improves and the city's budget is in better condition at midyear.
Employees in Environmental Services and those who are funded by grants could see their furloughs end by July and have no furloughs next year, said City Finance Director Kelly Gottschalk. The city will still have to work on the employee-equity issue for grant-funded employees, she added.
For example, more than 50 police officer positions are grant-funded, but the city doesn't want to force officers not funded by the grant to take furloughs, while treating those funded by the grant differently, Gottschalk said.
"We'll look at grant-funded employees grant by grant," Gottschalk said.
The unions originally had sought an increase in the furloughs in early 2010 as a way to stave off massive city layoffs at the height of the city's budget crisis.
Michael Coiro, the executive director of AFSCME Local 449, said he's happy about ending the furloughs in Environmental Services and grant-funded positions, as well as the possibility employees paid out of the city general fund could have their furloughs nearly halved.
But he said he won't accept that the furloughs for Tucson Water remain. He said city leaders have been hesitant to reduce those employees' furloughs because they don't want water users to pay more.
Coiro said city residents turned down a request to raise the city sales tax to pay for services, so he isn't concerned about that.
"The users denied the tax," Coiro said. "My heart is not bleeding for the citizens. My heart is bleeding for the employees."
TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) – Environmental groups and the federal government are blaming each other for the plight of endangered animals.
A Tucson-based environmental group is part of an effort to protect more plants and animals.
The government says their efforts are actually hurting the process.
On this 41st anniversary of the establishment of Earth Day, wildlife that could be on the way to extinction is facing a new threat.
It's a backlog of plants and animals waiting to be declared endangered.
Two key players are blaming each other.
On one hand, the environmentalists want the government to work harder.
On the other hand, the government is accusing the environmentalists of clogging the system.
In Arizona, there are nearly 60 species waiting to be put on the endangered species list.
Each one has to go through a long process.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes the decision on what species make the list.
It says the long process is being paralyzed by the piles and piles of new petitions seeking protection for other species that are possibly endangered.
"What we're required to do is divert our limited employee resources and time to addressing those petitions, rather than moving the process forward," says Jeff Humphrey, spokesman for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in Arizona.
Kieran Suckling, Center for Biological Diversity executive director, sees it differently.
"Well, that's government essentially saying we're so busy doing our job, we can't do our job."
The Tucson-based Center says its many petitions to protect plants and animals are not the problem.
"The problem is they're not asking Congress for enough money to do the work that needs to be done."
Humphrey says the money is not sufficient to keep up with the petitions, and there's something else too.
"I don't know that it's anyone's fault. I think a lot of it is attributable to a number of new threats as well as broad threats, climate change being the predominant one," Humphrey says.
The government's solution is not what environmental groups say they want to see.
Suckling says, "Obama Administration is asking Congress to essentially limit the amount of money it can spend on protecting new species under the Endangered Species Act which, again, is just ridiculous."
Both sides say they are talking with each other.
"To see if there's a mechanism by which we can prioritize what organisms they want to have added to the endangered species list," Humphrey says.
Suckling says, "We're in very protracted negotiations with the government of coming up with a five or seven year plan in which they will commit to actually addressing this backlog of hundreds of species which are not protected."
Suckling says if his organization sees progress, it will step back and give the Fish and Wildlife Service some breathing room.

text: Broken Punishment Networks in Public Goods Games: Experimental Evidence Volume 6 Jena Economic Research Papers 2012-02-06 2012 2007 2012-004 public goods experiment punishment cooperation networks Abundant evidence suggests that high levels of contributions to public goods can be sustained through self-governed monitoring and sanctions. This experimental study investigates the effectiveness of decentralized sanctioning institutions where punishment opportunities are restricted to agents who are linked through alternative punishment networks. We find that the structure of the punishment network significantly impacts contributions to the public good, but not overall efficiencies. Contributions collapse over decision rounds in groups with limited punishment opportunities, even if the absolute punishment capacity corresponds to the complete punishment network where all agents are allowed to punish each other. However, after allowing for the costs of sanctions, efficiencies are similar across the different networks that allow for punishment and the no-punishment network. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2012-02-08T08:53:56.535Z 2012-02-08T08:26:59.986Z

After trading around $1,800 an ounce in October, gold prices have slumped dramatically in the past three months. It's currently off 13% at around $1,570 and hit a low of just $1,554.
Major gold-based ETFs like the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD) and the iShares Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:IAU) have declined in kind.
Many miners have been hit even harder with the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:GDX) down over 20%. Major gold mining stocks Goldcorp (NYSE:GG) and Rangold Resources (NASDAQ:GOLD) both down by more than 20%, with Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM) and Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX) are "only" down about 13% to track gold's decline.
What's worse: Gold prices could go even lower. Here's why:
Charts: Gold flashed a dreaded "death cross" as its 50-day moving average finally broke below its 200-day moving average, as shown in this chart from CNBC. Historically, this pattern is a harbinger of ugly things to come.
Fading Macro Risks: There is less concern over sovereign debt shenanigans in Europe, a hard landing in China and the threat of political disasters in the U.S. via the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling. That is not to say that everything is grand with the U.S. budget, the eurozone or China, of course. But it's less bad — and at least predictable — for investors.
Rates: When real interest rates are low or falling, gold rallies. That's partially because inflation hawks think it's a good hedge, but also because alternatives like Treasuries and corporate debt naturally spin off meager returns. So why not move to a different asset class? Unfortunately, this rotation works both ways — the specter of rising rates means investors move their money into interest-bearing assets again and out of gold. We are reaching the end of the line on ZIRP, and although we might not see the Fed act until 2014, nobody wants to be late to the train.
Seasonality: As Steven Russolillo of MarketBeat points out, "gold has averaged about a 2% decline in the month of March since 2000, the worst performing month of the year." He even shares this great chart from technical analyst Michael Sacchitello:
Retail Investors Haven't Even Begun to Sell: Perhaps the most disturbing sign comes from a separate Russolillo post on MarketBeat last week. He quotes a Wall Street insider as saying, "Gold's poor relative performance has not gone unnoticed by a number of prominent hedge fund managers" — and quickly follows up with the fact that "mom-and-pop investors aren't shedding their gold holdings in the same fashion that the 'smart money' has." Imagine the selling pressure if those Goldline ads start disappearing and retail investors head for the hills …
A broader and more philosophical reason is that we have seen an amazing run for gold in the 21st century … and that was bound to stop eventually. In February 2001, the precious metal traded for under $260. In 2011, it topped $1,900 an ounce for a 630% gain.
Of course, later in 2011 it rolled back … and hit lows right around current levels.
Although goldbugs would love to believe that this commodity is the only true store of value, the fact is gold remains an investment and a marketable commodity like so many other assets. Speculation is common — and thus bubbles are possible, too. A decade-long bull market in gold was sure to come to an end, just as it did in the early 1980s when gold plummeted from a peak of $500 to under $300 in about four years.

Clubs: Juventus, US Avellino (loan), Genoa CFC (loan), US Catanzaro (loan), FC Crotone (loan), FC Messina (loan), US Città di Palermo, AC Milan
• A son of Naples, he headed north to join the Juventus academy at 13 but it was on loan at US Avellino, in Serie B, that he launched his professional career during the 2003/04 season.
• Relegated with Avellino, he left Juventus for Genoa CFC, but loan spells with US Catanzaro, FC Crotone and FC Messina followed; made his Serie A debut on 12 February 2006 in Messina's 4-2 defeat by UC Sampdoria and scored his first top-flight goal against Empoli FC in a match subsequently declared void.
• Back in Serie B, with Piacenza Calcio, in 2006/07, he was bought back by Juventus the following season and helped the Bianconeri to finish third on their return to Serie A, also claiming a first cap for Italy − against South Africa in Siena on 17 October 2007.
• Left Juventus and finally settled in Sicily, with US Città di Palermo, where he spent the next three seasons, accumulating over 100 Serie A appearances and returning to the national team set-up under Cesare Prandelli; joined Milan on the final day of the summer 2011 transfer window on a five-year contract.
• A stellar season brought 10 goals in 37 league appearances and a memorable strike in Milan's defeat by FC Barcelona in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League quarter-final; named in Italy's UEFA EURO 2012 squad, but made just two substitute appearances as Italy finished runners-up to Spain.
• Scored twice in 26 Serie A appearances in 2012/13 as Milan ended third.

"Chicago Fire" will return at the end of February and fans are ready to see Gabriela Dawson's journey to try to become a firefighter. This decision came with mixed reviews from the guys, but this girl is going to give it her all. On Feb. 13, Latino Post shared what actress Monica Raymund had to say about her character's journey.
Dawson is actually the main focus of a few webisodes that you can watch about the show. They are on the NBC.com and are all about her being left alone at the firehouse and she has to go off to an emergency. This will actually be four episodes.
She had to do a lot of training with the masks and cardio before her actual test on the show. Monica said that she came back after two weeks off for Christmas and eating non-stop. Then she had to film these hard parts of the season and get herself into shape fast. She won't reveal if she makes firefighter or not, but did tease that it might not come out until season three of the show.
"Chicago Fire" will return for the rest of season two on February 25. Don't miss new episodes.

Product Description
Hammer is one of Kirby's special Copy abilities, first appearing in Kirby's Adventure. It has very limited range, but is the heaviest hitter among his normal abilities - most normal enemies are instantly K.O.-ed in a single hit. When used on a mid-boss or regular boss, the moves simply do very heavy damage. Its high damage makes it very desirable in Boss Endurance events. The hammer Kirby wields looks similar to King Dedede's mallet, with a shorter handle. Hammer is one of the few abilities that can not be found by inhaling a common enemy. It is most commonly obtained from Bonkers the mid-boss. Otherwise it can be obtained via Mix, the Copy Pedestal behind the golden door in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, or by finding the Copy Essence Deluxe in Kirby Super Star and Ultra. Orange Dygclops from Heavy Mole also give Hammer.

Colleen Johnson is entering her third season at Arizona. Johnson joined Wildcat program after spending five years as assistant coach at North Carolina State University where she was named Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2003. At Arizona, Johnson is responsible for choreographing the floor exercise routines, assisting with music selection and editing, coaching primarily the balance beam while assisting with all practice activities. Her duties extend beyond the gym and into assisting with scouting and recruiting, and marketing and public relations for the program.
"Colleen has brought the next level of coaching ability to our program with regards to beam and floor choreography," head coach Bill Ryden says. "Her ability to raise each athlete's performance to a higher level is evident by the quality that is seen on the competition floor."
A Canadian National Team Member from 1988-1991, Johnson was on the 1991 Canadian Bronze Medal Team at the Pan-American games. Johnson then attended the University of Florida where she was a four-year starting competitor earning both athletic and academic All-American honors. In addition to her All-American accolades, Johnson was named to All-SEC honors while leading the Gators to four consecutive NCAA Championships and one Super Six finish as a team captain. In her fifth year at Florida, Johnson assisted with coaching the team, and earned her bachelor's degree in public relations in 1996.
After graduating from Florida, Johnson explored a career in public relations. She worked full-time at a public relations firm in Vancouver, Canada, while doing freelance choreography and coaching on the side. Dance has always been a major aspect of Johnson's life. In 1998 she auditioned and was accepted to Cirque du Soleil but declined the role. Instead, Johnson took a position at NC State to begin her career coaching collegiate gymnastics.
"I love being with the girls in the gym and relating to them based on what they are going through, remembering my experiences as a student-athlete," said Johnson. "When I am coaching I try to read what strategy of coaching works best for each of the girls. Some need a softer approach, while others need a little more of a push. I always try to do what is best to get the best result from each one of them. Aside from the gym, I aim to be someone the girls can talk to and confide in when they need support."

About the WDC logo
The graphic is based on the idea that design is an ordering strength and the global claim of the World Design Capital project. It uses an abstract from an image of nerve cells, the basis for structured thinking, and the geographical coordinate system of the planet, from whose round form the graphic takes its shape.
In its basic form, the logo is made up of three elements. The base is a black circle, in which is centered a white crosshairs taken from an abstract of a grid pattern. Four distinct segments are created into which text can be written, the top right segment having always "World Design Capital" in it.
In the medium-sized variation, "World Design Capital" appears on the right side of the image in black letters and the width of the border area is a quarter of the circle's diameter.
In the x-small variation, only in this case does "World Design Capital" appear on one line.
WDC Font
The World Design Capital has its own font called, "WDC Font." It is a derivation of the stadium typography.

You can use the builtin POINT datatype without postgis.
You could also either use separate columns for
For non GIS application I just use columns, as suggested by Jack, though I don't bother with with the check value. It is a good idea to also specify the datum (IE NAD27) in an additional column, as the datum is important for proper interpretation of the values.

Given the frenetic level of activity among the press at this year's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, it is hard to see how the house of Zang Toi was missed. Indeed, there was no shortage of the annual de rigueur accolades for the established luminaries of fashion. One could almost check them off the list by rote memory. Yet, this house presented a collection so exquisite that it's hard to see how it was missed. A cursory search on Google revealed no mention other than from the MBFW web site itself. Digging further only reveals the usual and ubiquitous kiddie-grams recorded, emailed, tweeted, and facebooked. Virtually no serious professional mention was made of Zang Toi's fall collection, if even sotto voce. Indeed, this was a sin of omission. What makes this omission even more regrettable is the personal significance behind this show. Zang, whose father recently passed away, dedicated this particular show to him indicating "It was my dad who first championed my creative talent by encouraging me to draw and sketch. He was my biggest supporter and he cheered me on my entire 23-year career."
Toi's collection transported the attendees on a trek back in time to '30s Shanghai; then known as the "Paris of the Orient". The topic of fashion is generally not a significant part of the historiographical narrative of China, especially in the '30s. Beset with deprivation, internecine warfare, and foreign invasion, these issues far overshadowed anything the sartorial cognoscenti had to say. Yet, out of this darkness, Zang is able to not only extract and highlight a number of interesting factors from this period, but use them as inspiration for this fall's collection.
Recreating an Art Deco Shanghai in its most affluent period, Toi creates a collection of modernized silhouettes of qi pao, socialite jackets, and jewel accessories that reflected the city's polyglot glamor. One could almost envision these grand designs in the Paramount Hall. Colors chosen for the celebration of '30s Shanghai were brilliant jade, opium, charcoal, grey and black. The color jade is one that may impart healing, gentleness and nourishment, since it is said that this is because jade is a stone that protects and supports loving heart energy.
The collection imparted an air of mystery with the Loro Piana Cashmere Glen Plaid women's western influenced suit with pleated lapels, black gloves and sheer blouse in matching glen plaid, gray fur stole; sheer matching ascot and a black fedora dropped over one eye. Impeccable tailoring and sporting men's wear silhouette made picture perfect for this woman of Shanghai. The was followed by the man's suit in matching Loro Piana Cashmere Glen Plaid, black gloves and black fedora, white shirt with white ascot. As they crossed paths on the runway, one could almost imagine them at a rendezvous point in the city exchanging secrets. More tailoring in a short elbow length Glen Plaid double breasted belted trench dress, with sheer matching glen plaid long sleeved blouse, black gloves. Garter-like hosiery that was sheer from upper thigh and below was opaque with an open seam up the back of the hosiery and ascot, fedora now over the left eye, appearing like a signal for a dead drop.
The short wool Birdseye tweed cape with tweed dress and black gloves, and black fedora were a clear favorite. The shaped shoulder and funnel neck held the cape graciously as the model walked without button or closure. The final piece in the gray wool set was the classic trench dress, double breasted, ¾ length sleeves, belted with collar slightly raised in the back. The black opaque with negative skin seam on the garter-like hosiery added to the allure.
Another was the gray knit long sleeved suit with a fur shawl collar, worn with a black high-necked blouse and a sculpted knee length skirt, which was elegant but not pretentious. This was followed by a black Pantsuit with peaked lapels hand pick stitched in brilliant jade with elbow length sleeves in black with bright jade green sheer long sleeve blouse. The combinations of black leather and bright jade sweater knits were a smart look. A beautifully executed long napped mohair long coat with double peaked lapels made to stand along the neckline was, worn over a green and black front zippered sweater, resulting in a stunning look.
The use of brocades in ensembles, dress and coats with fur reflected a '30s simple sublime sensuality; qualities that certainly would have had any petit bourgeois sent packing to the next struggle session in their dunce cap.
Another exquisite look was the black overcoat with dark grey silk gown, and embroidery on front and back shoulder and a chapel train.
Other captivating looks included:
A brilliant jade cap sleeve with rounded oval neckline gown with 5 inches wide jet and jade crystals. The back of the gown was similar to an 18th century robe à la Française, with the detailing beginning just below the shoulder blades.
A brilliant jade silk rectangle cape with long square tails. The front of the cape touches the front waistline and is fitted on the shoulders with black neckline closure with jet starburst and jeweled neckline over a simple black silk gown.
A solid black high necked, long sleeve, long fitting hourglass gown with lower edge of hem trimmed in fur, with statement jewels in emerald and crystal, and black long wrap edged in fur.
A long black silk satin straight gown with a tall Mandarin collar, collar edge of bodice bright crystal starburst pattern and a single solid row of stones as a necklace at the base of the collar, worn with bright jade ostrich caplet with front closure.
A look Elizabeth Taylor would have adored was a strapless black silk gown, with brilliant jade fur wrap and an imperial bejeweled collar, with tall stand collar round bid encrusted in clear crystal and Art Deco patterned in the center front of gown with large stones.
An empress coat completely lined in brilliant jade green, beaded with an Art Deco skyline.
This show was a fabulous manifestation of Toi's creative virtuosity. Overcoming his own humble beginnings and personal challenges, he has not only received the imprimatur of Anna Wintour, but has established himself as a force to be recognized. I'm looking forward to seeing his collection for S/S 2015.

A small black bear traded its life in the wild for a short upscale vacation yesterday- when it took up residence at Wapato Point Resort in Manson for most of the day.
KOZI began following scanner reports shortly after 8am when Chelan County Sheriff Deputies received an informational call from Rivercom Dispatch of a bear cub walking along Madeline and Hyacinth roads near SingletonPark in Manson.
North Chelan County Sheriff Sergeant, Rob Huddleston, says that Fish and Wildlife was also called.
Department of Fish & Wildlife Officials set a bear trap nearby in an attempt to catch and relocate the young bear.
KOZI has not yet confirmed the outcome of that attempt, and will bring that information to you as we learn more.
Huddleston reminds everyone that, although in this case, the bear didn't cause any trouble; however, he did see signs of potential issues.

Case Studies
View our collection of case studies below
Sold out once again in record time – attracting some 50,000 revellers. The event comprised 22 outdoor bars, including the Bollywood Bar & Black Dahlia cocktail bars, Brother's Cider Bar, the Bestival Inn, Knees Up, Come Dancing, two VIP/Green Room bars, three mass-serve outdoor bars (using 44,000 pint tankers) as well as further themed bars and fast can stations.
Sharing the same venue as the Lovebox Weekender – Field Day returned to Victoria Park in East London at the beginning of August. The organiser employed us to run all 8 outdoor bars including a prestigious backstage VIP cocktail bar. Cold draught lager and 'pokey' Mojito's were the order of the day for the 25,000 guests.
In 2010, Peppermint Bars was awarded the contract to run all the official outdoor bar sites at Nottinghill Carnival. The event which attracts over a million people on the August Bank holiday weekend was a resounding success and returns in 2011 complete with a soundstage and cocktails. In addition to this Red Bull appointed us to run their bar next to the Rap Attack stage. The event was a huge success – "Just want to say what a great job Steve and the team did with this outdoor bars setup. It was a pleasure to work with such a professional and hard working team. The overall event was a great success for Red Bull and created excellent awareness of Red Bull Cola throughout the carnival. Having fun loving bar staff, serving premium drinks helped make this happen. I look forward to working with you all in the near future." (Ben Kendall – Red Bull Marketing)
After escalating costs, the event was cancelled in 2010 – but returns in 2011 at a brand new site with new partners and impetus.
"We are thrilled to be able to say that the Glade will be back in 2011. The festival is being revolutionised yet stripped back to its shiny grass roots…half the capacity that it was in the last few years and getting back to its original spirit but with a big step forward creatively, musically and artistically. We've been dying to let everyone know that it is definitely here again and with everything that's happened we've had to ensure that we've got something to excite, that we can make happen and that will be a true celebration of life, music and art. We now can. Half the battle was finding the right home for the festival and we really have. We've found a belter…proper English parkland where we can do our thing…trees everywhere! The Glade is back…!"

Camp Bestival (Bestival's Sister event) returned to Lulworth Castle in Dorset. Set in an idyllic setting in the Dorset countryside the event continues to be huge success and cemented its future for years to come with Best Family Festival for the 2nd year in a row at the coveted UK Festival Awards. We provided a colourful mix of cocktail bars, outdoor bars and mass-service outdoor bars throughout the weekend.
The Secret Garden Party has grown a loyal, eclectic and fun following in its history to date and this year the event sold out well before they opened the gates. Cocktails are always a popular with this crowd and we didn't disappoint – especially our head mixologist's "secret" Bloody Mary recipe – it was the talking point of the weekend and certainly helped with the hangovers! As well as the main outdoor bars we also built the Aspalls Cyder Barn and provided a rum bar on a pirate ship in the middle of the lake (which was only accessible via canoe-water-taxi) and was consequently exploded into a flurry of fireworks on Saturday night (after we vacated it we may add) and watched as 200 flamed-lanterns ascended into the night sky – it was quite a show. Next year's antics are already being planned but we're sworn to secrecy!
RADIO 1′S BIG WEEKEND – The After-Show Party
'The biggest line up in ClubClass history' greeted Peppermint, who provided the bar services at the highly anticipated after party for Radio 1′s Big Weekend in Maidstone, Kent. The event was broadcast live from the largest TV studio in the UK and welcomed a celebrity spotted crowd who partied into the small hours. Peppermint designed and ran a fully stocked main bar with the intensity and professionalism it is famous for, ensuring a perfect service to a crowd buzzing with anticipation for each amazing act. This was complimented by the outdoor bar VIP area, with it's chilled out vibes and funky seating areas providing a break from the madness.
A spin-off of the hugely popular London based SW4 event, in Cooper's field in Cardiff city centre. Acts have included Snow Patrol, Stone Roses, Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox. Our outdoor bars operation comprised of two bars and a VIP backstage bar.
Feast Restaurant and Bar (as part of the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink, Brighton)
Peppermint Events produced a 200 capacity gourmet restaurant and bar in the unique location of the Royal Pavilion, next to the Ice Rink. Where Regency meets Victoriana style and décor – Inside we served food fit for The Prince Regent with restaurant in opulent surroundings and comfortable seating.
Our delicious food menu featured everything from fondues to fresh oysters, cream teas to suckling pigs and a mouth-watering drinks menu including Regency cocktails, local ales and mulled wine – sure to warm you even on the coldest night.
The Moose Bar
The inaugural Moose Bar took shape at the foot of Canary Wharf's One Canada Square and served the adjacent ice rink and some of the 200,000 professionals working around Canary Wharf and the City of London. The Moose created a unique log-cabin, warm and inviting atmosphere in the heart of Canary Wharf, with acoustic music and entertainment throughout the week. It was a huge success, growing from year to year.

Coconut Joes Beach Club
Debuting in Liverpool city centre, Joe had them flocking to his cocktail bar on the beach, right in the heart of Liverpool city centre next to Liverpool One shopping centre. New beach bars for this summer are about to be revealed…
The Lodge
Based in the heart on Nottingham City Centre over the festive period, the Lodge was an immediate hit, offering a warm, tranquil place to take the weight-off in one of our luxurious Chesterfields. After some serious Christmas shopping guests enjoyed a mulled wine or cider whilst watching the ice-skaters in Market Square.
The Chester Inn
Tudorian in style and decor, this bar was part of the hugely successful Chester Winter Wonderland which has estimated to have brought in over 250,000 additional visitors to the city.
Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week
We own and operate one of Cowes Week's official event enclosures and Marina: Peppermint Shepards Wharf. Since we took it over in 2004 it has been transformed from a sleepy boatyard into a bustling events space during Cowes week and the "crew's choice" for post-racing entertainment. The site boasts several bars, a trade village, restaurant and nightclub open for 8 days during the world's largest Yachting Regatta, a must in the UK's summer events calendar.
Pin Up Bowling Lanes, Manchester
Pin Up is a pop up 1950′s boutique tenpin bowling lane venue, complete with American diner, cocktail bar and dance floor. Pin Up visited the heart of Manchester in 2011 and welcomed the likes of Norman Jay and Alexis Taylor behind the decks.
Artemis Transat Race Village
Based around Plymouth's historic Barbican area in Sutton Harbour and neighbouring Queen Anne's Battery, the Race Village was home to the entire race fleet in the week building up to the start of the Artemis Transat Race. We built and managed the double decked race village structure on behalf of OC Events – home to the crew, press and hospitality throughout the event, which attracted more than 100,000 people.

Ketchum Party, London
The client wanted to source a lively show piece to incorporate into an annual corporate event at their offices. They event was to thank their staff and also to invite clients to celebrate the success of the four sectors in their PR portfolio. In order to achieve this goal we supplied a bar with cocktails, staff and four specific colourful and tasty cocktails chosen by the client. Each cocktail name was altered slightly to associate it with the name of each one of the departments. We also supplied non alcoholic cocktails which were mixed on the spot, depending on the drinkers taste.
Magnum Photos, London
Internationally renowned agency Magnum Photos approached us to provide a corporate events bar at their Christmas party. In keeping with their line of work this was staged at the Photographers Gallery just off Leicester square. The venue was slightly challenging as it was in fact two entirely separate buildings which weren't next to each other. Due to the fact that one venue was a shop space and the other a gallery we set up two self contained operations with bar structures and staff to serve drinks and run the front of house operation.
Gents, Just a quick note to say thank you to Patrick and the team for an awesome night! The site looked fantastic and the party and crowd were amazing! No one in Cowes could touch you on the night! Great to work with you as always and thank you again I cannot describe how great the site looked and the team looked after us without a hitch.

Havana Club (ITCH PR), Bestival, Isle of Wight.
The Bestival was the last stop on a summer-long live brand experience campaign for ITCH and Havana Club. We worked alongside ITCH to make sure that they brand was properly represented, serving ice cold Mojito's to the thirsty Bestival crowd. Michael White, MD of ITCH said: "The standard of service was exceptional, even at 1am they were still a high level of quality control. Thanks to this live brand experience we developed a reputation for drinks and people were heard talking about us as you walked around site."

E3 gives gamers what they are to be expecting in the next year and half. A lot of titles are expected holiday this year while others are not being released till next year and that is not counting delays *cough* "Elder Scrolls" as we all know always happens.
The Halo Collection is nice to have for any die-hard fan of this future world. The extras that come with it will be nice and to be able to see Halo 2 remastered and retouched along with its multiplayer as it was has caught my attention. It is something to look into and decide for yourself.
Witcher 3 looks great and action packed, developers stating that anywhere can be explored that can be seen in game. This provides hours of gameplay with so many possibilities. The demo they showed had the main character tracking down and killing a Griffin. Along the way he fights some bandits to save a woman. What I noticed is that when choosing what to say, the main character will actually have a voice. This is nice change from the games on the Xbox 360 where it would seem as one sided dialogue. This will give games a more of a movie-esque type feel.
Rainbow Six Siege looks good. From the gameplay that was presented, it could use some polishing up but it looks like a Rainbow Six game and most likely feel like it too. Taking cover and attacking from it will be key as most of the time it is. The video shows a team trying to save a hostage. From this demo we can learn a lot about the game and how it will play out and function. It has caught my attention as the Rainbow Six games have been in their own class of First Person Tactical Shooters.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare looks action packed enough for me to actually play the campaign and possible the multiplayer. I still bask in the days of Modern Warfare 2, awh what a great campaign and multiplayer, I spent countless hours on that game. Enough reminiscing. Advanced Warfare, looks to be different with its weapons and abilities changing how you react to situations. But rocket boots and flying onto objects will remind you of Titanfall. This is another Call of Duty game but I hope the developers surprise and shock us with something.
I have reported on Mortal Kombat X already in a seperate article but I will go over some points here. New characters are always fun for the most part. Sometimes though we can find ourselves saying, "They should have just brought back (insert MK character not in the game here) instead". Again since the reboot in 2011 many gamers fell back in love with MK while others were being introduced to the series. My hope is that this isn't just a rev'd up version of the MK 9 with different characters and backgrounds. It will be hard to top MK 9; my hopes are high but I am still holding breath for this one.
Rise of the Tomb Raider shows an embattled Lara Croft trying to piece herself together. While I have never played a Lara Croft game from start to finish this has definitely caught my attention and could possibly make me break into the series. I have heard many good things about most of the Lara Croft games and this one has been no different. I look forward to wielding her bow and doing what I must.
There are many other games that were revealed and shown. The games mentioned above just give you a taste of what was revealed at E3. The next two years in gaming look to be adventurous and filled with great games. We can all hope that all of them live up to their hype as in some case they do not.
Happy gaming!
