I am a retired clinical psychologist, and administrator and owner of a rehabilitation clinic we founded 40 years ago. For over 55 years I have managed several portfolios composed of investments accumulated over our professional careers. Since the financial crisis of 2008, I have employed specialized, customized dividend growth strategies aimed at enhancing and growing a dividend income stream.
Since December 24, 2014, I have demonstrated on Seeking Alpha the ongoing construction and portfolio management of the Fill-The-Gap Portfolio aimed at highlighting strategies investors may utilize to close the gap between an average Social Security benefit and the much greater costs faced in retirement.
This portfolio has outperformed all of the broad market indexes by a very wide margin, growing dividend income and total portfolio value consistently while the broader indexes struggle in negative territory all year.
Aside from free articles available to the general public, additional early-access, value-added ideas and deep-dive articles are offered to paid subscribers on my premium SA platform, "Retirement: One Dividend At A Time"
Let me show you how to build and grow your portfolio and dividend income, step by step, towards a comfortable and secure retirement.
Evaluation of the dominant assumptions and an understanding of the dynamics of the economic engine is the basis of an approach to asset allocation that provides for both a rational determination of value and an understanding of sentiment in the form of price as a measure of the irrational nature of the operational environment, an approach that is intended at once to avoid unnecessary risk while at the same time enable gradual rebalance of assets as a means to increase net worth via optimization of appreciation and long term yields. Let's call that buy low and fly high just for fun.

Born in 1958, I am a small investor who has taken his lumps. When I started out, I made a lot of money trading. Then I lost twice as much, when market conditions changed but my methods didn't. Intellectually I believe that dividend investing is probably the best way to go. However, I am still addicted to searching for a good deal--call it value investing, or swing investing, or what you will.

I am not receiving compensation from SA or anyone else for my Instablogs and articles published at SeekingAlpha. I have never received any compensation for the posts published at my blog website. I am simply passing on what I have learned as an investor over 4+ decades free of charge.
In all of my 2000+ posts since early October 2008, the primary purpose was to provide a framework for rational and fact based investment decision making that will hopefully reduce the number of errors made.
My most basic investment strategy is to focus on income generating securities and then to invest the cash flow into more of the same, creating a compounding impact over a long period of time. I will invest in securities throughout the capital structure on a worldwide basis.
I am now and have always been a cautious total return investor (income + capital appreciation).
A focus on income generation simply means that income generation through interest or dividend payments is an important part of my total return objective.
I am no longer in an asset accumulation mode. Capital preservation is more important than capital appreciation.
Income generation is only one aspect of an objective evaluation of potential rewards balanced against potential risks.
After several decades of "turtle" investing, which sometimes requires me to pull my head back into the shell and to cease foraging in stock land (e.g. 1999), I am now admittedly absurdly diversified due largely to one of my risk management techniques that limits my monetary exposure to the securities of a single company.
My monetary exposure is largely dictated by a balancing of potential risks and rewards taking into consideration income generation and potential for capital appreciation.
As a risk control trading technique and in furtherance of my capital preservation emphasis, I will frequently use the natural volatility of a security to gradually build up a position, selling the highest cost shares on price spikes and buying back those shares when the purchase is lower than my average cost per share usually by more than 5%. The general idea is to lower my average cost per share over time with tax efficient share dispositions, thereby increasing my dividend yield for the remaining shares.
I have also been a practitioner of dynamic or tactical asset allocation that will be driven by my big picture views, including my Vix Asset Allocation Model, as well as my opinions about the relative risks and opportunities of various asset classes.
I was born in 1951, and started to invest in stocks when I was 16. I am not a financial advisor, but simply an individual investor who has been managing my own money for my adult life starting when I was a teenager. All of my brokerage accounts are cash accounts. I have never bought stock on margin. I have not added money to any of these accounts since 1984 and have used those accounts to fund my annual IRA contributions.
I started my web site, Stocks & Politics, in October 2008 to do whatever I can to help individuals become better investors, which requires a lot of hard work and effort. After over 2000+ blogs, mostly long ones, I came to a realization that my time consuming and laborious efforts have been mostly futile and have been rewarded at best with faint praise. I will no longer be posting there.
I would still emphasize that it is important for individuals to become as knowledgeable as possible before making any decision, with every individual taking full responsibility for their investment decisions and to prepare accordingly, which is what I try to do.
The Twitter Generation will need IMO far greater investment skills than previous generations given what I now perceived about future U.S. economic conditions.

Commodity broker 79-81 I discovered the Gospel In July 1979 (and re-discovered it again in April 2004 -after the G.6 release was dis-continued - actually created the RR time series in the late 1980's). Dr. Leland Pritchard "You have a predictive device nobody has hit on yet" - 9/8/81 My prediction for AAA corporate yields for 1981 was 15.48%. AAA Corporate yields rose to 15.49%. I should receive the Nobel Prize. The data should be classified as "top secret" by the U.S. Gov't. I.e., I let Aladdin out of the Lamp. See: 1938 Member Bank Reserve Requirements - Analysis of Committee Proposal (transactions velocity) http://bit.ly/M0JB7X The outstanding volume of the FRB_NY "trading desk's" 'eligible collateral' fell during the Great Depression. Whereas 'eligible collateral' was multiplied thru colossal Federal deficit financing (where the Gov't spends much more than it expects to receive), during the Great Recession (but Bernanke still chose to "push on a string"). As Greenspan pontificated in "The Map & the Territory": "The laws of physics…once identified, rarely have to be revised": Rates-of-change (roc's) in monetary flows (our means-of-payment money times its transactions rate-of-turnover), equal roc's in all transactions in Irving Fisher's "equation of exchange": (MVt = PT). Roc's in nominal-gDp are a proxy for all economic transactions. The lags for monetary flows (MVt), i.e. the proxies for (1) real-growth, & for (2) inflation indices have been mathematical constants for the last 100 years. However, the FED's target (interest rates), is indirect, varies widely over time, & in magnitude. President Wilson signed "The Federal Reserve Act" into law on December 23, 1913. The Act, "Provided for the establishment of Federal Reserve Banks, to furnish an elastic currency, to afford means of rediscounting commercial paper, to establish a more effective supervision of banking in the United States, and for other purposes". "It was anticipated that credit extended by the Federal Reserve Banks to commercial banks would rise and fall with seasonal and longer term variations in business activity" "Seasonality" (principally the holidays), is the result of the FOMC's seasonal mal-adjustments (& has its roots in the fallacious "Real Bills Doctrine"). The FOMC, through its "open market power", has the capability of either adding or subtracting to the volume of money in circulation. But the non-bank public determines its mix (the volume of currency vs. bank deposits). This policy is reflected by changes in the Depository Financial Institution's (DFI), required reserve balances. RRs are based on transaction type accounts 30 days prior. Reserve balances are driven by consumer's & business' payment & settlements. Thus RRs provide the seasonal factor map (economic time series' cyclical trend). This is inviolate & sacrosanct.

The lags for monetary flows (MVt), i.e., the proxies for (1) real-growth, and for (2) inflation indices, are historically, always, fixed in length (mathematical constants). However the lag for nominal gdp (the FED's target??), varies widely." Assuming no quick countervailing stimulus: 2010 jan..... 0.54.... 0.25 top feb..... 0.50.... 0.10 mar.... 0.54.... 0.08 apr..... 0.46.... 0.09 top may.... 0.41.... 0.01 stocks fall Been saying this for the last 6 months.

David Stockman is the ultimate Washington insider turned iconoclast. He began his career in Washington as a young man and quickly rose through the ranks of the Republican Party to become the Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan. After leaving the White House, Stockman had a 20-year career on Wall Street.
At the podium, Stockman's expertise and experience cannot be matched, and he has a reputation for zesty financial straight talk. Defying right- and left-wing boxes, his latest book catalogues both the corrupters and defenders of sound money, fiscal rectitude, and free markets. Stockman discusses the forces that have left the public sector teetering on the edge of political dysfunction and fiscal collapse and have caused America's financial system to morph into an unstable, bubble-prone gambling arena that undermines capitalist prosperity and showers speculators with vast windfall gains.
Stockman's career in Washington began in 1970, when he served as a special assistant to U.S. Representative, John Anderson of Illinois. From 1972 to 1975, he was executive director of the U.S. House of Representatives Republican Conference. Stockman was elected as a Michigan Congressman in 1976 and held the position until his resignation in January 1981.
He then became Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan, serving from 1981 until August 1985. Stockman was the youngest cabinet member in the 20th century. Although only in his early 30s, Stockman became well known to the public during this time concerning the role of the federal government in American society.
After resigning from his position as Director of the OMB, Stockman wrote a best-selling book, The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed (1986). The book was Stockman's frontline report of the miscalculations, manipulations, and political intrigues that led to the failure of the Reagan Revolution. A major publishing event and New York Times bestseller in its day, The Triumph of Politics is still startlingly relevant to the conduct of Washington politics today.
After leaving government, Stockman joined Wall Street investment bank Salomon Bros. He later became one of the original partners at New York-based private equity firm, The Blackstone Group. Stockman left Blackstone in 1999 to start his own private equity fund based in Greenwich, Connecticut.
In his newest New York Times best-seller, The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America (2013), Stockman lays out how the U.S. has devolved from a free market economy into one fatally deformed by Washington's endless fiscal largesse, K-street lobbies and Fed sponsored bailouts and printing press money.
Stockman was born in Ft. Hood, Texas. He received his B.A. from Michigan State University and pursued graduate studies at Harvard Divinity School.
He lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife Jennifer Blei Stockman. They have two daughters, Rachel and Victoria.

I am an investor.
I've written in years past about the investment implications of economic events, properly understood from the perspective of Austrian School thinking. Recently, I have revised my ideas somewhat. Today, I refer to the ideas I hold to in economics as "Austrian-Classical", thanks to the spectacular work of economist George Reisman. Dr. Reisman's masterpiece
"Capitalism", which consists of 1,100 pages of luminous explanation and reasoning, revised and improved my understanding in profoundly important ways.
In years past, I published articles for investment publications and newspapers, including an article in The International Advisor in August, 1984 predicting and explaining the basis for the long bull market in bonds; an article in The International Advisor in June, 1985 that explained why a big rally in foreign currencies was imminent; an article in The Market Chronicle of October 26, 1985 that explained why real estate prices across the country were about to decline; the front page article in Personal Finance, October 29, 1986 that explained why a major pause and correction in the bond bull market was about to occur; and an August 1986 editorial in the Orange County Register that explained why tax reform would boost the economy. I also published quite a few other articles recommending a few stocks and gold, based primarily on top down analysis.
My education was also helped enormously by Harry Browne, who never knew me. But I knew Mr. Browne, or imagined I did, having poured over every issue of his newsletter for about 25 years.
Now I hope to resume writing and active investment analysis. I have no blog yet, but I plan to create one soon.

Peter started TF Market Advisors in 2011 as a platform to trade and provide market information. The trading strategies are macro, but the direction and value decisions are based on insights into the credit markets. The firm's commentary has been gaining respect and Peter has become a recognized source of information on the developments in Europe in particular, but has also been very involved in recommendations on the banking industry and high yield bonds. He has appeared numerous times on Bloomberg TV and radio, and has been quoted in articles in the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, and Fox Business News. Many top hedge funds, money managers, and asset allocators have asked to be included on the distribution list.
Peter was a Portfolio Manager at KLS in the fall of 2008 and spring of 2009. He achieved positive performance for the period using a combination of single credit positions, well timed macro trading, and an active trading strategy that developed additional trading revenue around the core credit decisions and enhanced relationships to ensure allocations on investment grade new issues that could perform well. The returns were aided by product choice as much as specific credit decisions because the understanding of bonds, loans, and CDS, and investment grade and high yield, and single name and index, helped maximize returns or minimize downside for any level of risk.
Peter has been involved in all aspects of credit trading. He started his career with Bankers Trust in 1994 in the newly formed Credit Derivatives group. While at Bankers Trust and then Deutsche Bank, Peter ran High Yield Credit Derivatives which included cash, CDS, synthetic CDO's, total return swaps on leveraged loans, and hybrid CLO's. During this time he was very involved in the industry groups that developed the CDS product and that deep familiarity with the product helps when trading as the in depth knowledge can spot trading opportunities when markets are volatile or headline driven. He was hired by UBS to build out those businesses there, but over time became involved in the Credit Index Trading. He was a board member of CDS Indexco, which created the CDX suite of indices. He went on to start a successful index trading business at RBS in North America, where during 2007 and early 2008, the business went from nowhere to being profitable and a top 5 liquidity provider.
Peter received his Bachelors of Mathematics degree, Joint Honors Computer Science and Combinatorics and Optimization from the University of Waterloo, where he was a Descartes Fellow and graduated as the all-time leading scorer on the football team. He completed his MBA in Finance and Marketing at Vanderbilt University and was awarded the Matt Wiggington Leadership award for outstanding performance in finance.

Beer, the grandson of Birchwood Development founder and homebuilding giant Morris Sosnow, also builds high-end custom homes on the North Shore. He's already opened Red Mango stores in Greenvale, Manhasset and Rego Park. There are now more than a dozen Red Mango stores on Long Island.

During the grand opening event for the New Hyde Park store, customers will be treated to free yogurt with toppings. First guests to arrive will receive a free, limited-edition T-shirt from Dan Kim, the founder and chief concept officer of the frozen yogurt chain, who will be on hand.
Kim opened the first Red Mango store in Los Angeles in 2007. The formula of serving all-natural nonfat yogurt with calcium, protein and a patented strain of probiotics to support the immune system and regulate the digestive system, as well as smoothies, parfaits and probiotic iced tea has caught on, especially with women, who make up about 70 percent of the chain's patrons.

Melon Juleps
Chef Linda Weiss
Photograph Anne K Moore
If you have a melon baller, this is the perfect time to go through the drawer and find it. It's really hot outside and this melon recipe is just the right recipe to keep you cool, and offer you an elegant appetizer or dessert course for these humid and extremely hot days.
The melon recipe is easy to make and you can use any kind of melon or a mixture. I think I'd love the cool colors of honeydew and cantaloupe, or the bright and sweet red of watermelon with fresh mint.
Whatever you choose from your garden will be delicious.
4-6 servings
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons snipped fresh mint
¼ cup rum (optional-but you can use a tiny bit of rum
flavoring if you choose not to use the rum)
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 cups melon balls, your choice, honeydew, cantaloupe (muskmelon) or watermelon
Fresh mint to garnish
Sugar syrup- in a small saucepan combine the water, sugar, and mint. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and strain to remove the mint. Stir in the rum, and the lime juice. Cool the syrup thoroughly. In a large bowl, combine the melon balls, and cooled syrup. Cover and chill for 3 hours. To serve, spoon the melon balls into sherbet glasses, or stemmed glasses. Pour the syrup over the melon balls in the glasses and garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint.

Landscaping is often an exercise in problem solving: we may have an ideal plant in mind, only to find that it won't thrive in our yards because our site or soil isn't suitable. Fortunately, plants are wonderfully diverse and adaptable, so you're guaranteed to find beautiful, landscape-worthy shrubs that withstand most any of Mother Nature's curveballs. Think of the plants listed below as the landscape equivalent of the old saying, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" — they tolerate and even thrive under the difficult conditions commonly found in backyards everywhere. This means less work for you and a better performance from your plants!

SAE International's On-Road Automated Vehicle Standards Committee, on which I serve along with experts from industry and government, will soon release an information report defining key concepts related to the increasing automation of on-road vehicles. Central to this 12-page report are six levels of driving automation: 0 (no automation), 1 (driver assistance), 2 (partial automation), 3 (conditional automation), 4 (high automation), and 5 (full automation).

The use of robots inevitably changes the equation for how police apply "use of force," a term that is broadly defined by the International Association of Chiefs of Police as the "amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject."
The robot used by the Dallas police department to kill Micah Johnson — the sniper who fired into a peaceful protest and killed five police officers, injuring others — was originally designed to defuse explosives. The police attached a pound of the explosive C4 to the robot, creating a makeshift weapon out of a design that was not intended to inflict harm on people. The robot was also remote-controlled, not autonomous.
This is a guest post. The views expressed here are solely those of the author and do not represent positions of IEEE Spectrum or the IEEE.
Last week, the Dallas police killed a suspected gunman with a bomb-delivering robot. It was a desperate measure for desperate times: five law enforcement officers were killed and several more wounded before the shooter was finally cornered.
""The developers have yet to design or at least demonstrate a system that can achieve a socially acceptable level of risk across a wide range of driving conditions," says Bryant Walker Smith, an automated driving expert.
"And, as Bryant Walker Smith of the University of South Carolina School of Law points out, police will still be in charge of stepping in during altercations that occur between people in self-driving cars – an occurrence that may become more common as Uber and Lyft switch to autonomous taxis for rideshare services."
"One of Vosen's first priorities will be to become well-versed with the technology in the autonomous vehicle that Google is creating, says Bryant Walker Smith, an authority on self-driving cars and an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law: "A great deal of time will be spent on that. It's a crucial underpinning to effectively discuss anything from contracting to IP to liability to regulation."
""It raises a lot of concern about the increased weaponization of robots that the police use," said Peter Asaro, a co-founder of the International Committee for Robot Arms Control. The deadly use of the explosive C4 attached to the robot in Dallas is used by the military in combat situations.
"Once, I think, police departments have these kinds of weapons in their arsenal, it provides the opportunity to use them in a lot of different kinds of scenarios," said Asaro."
The Federal Trade Commission held a one-day public workshop on January 19, 2016, 9 am - 5:30 pm, to explore competition and related issues in the context of state regulation of motor vehicle distribution, and to promote more informed analysis of how these regulations affect businesses and consumers.
For more information, visit the workshop website.
This workshop will focus on the ethics of autonomous vehicles, examining near-term practical issues for industry, especially as it relates to programming.
It will extend discussions from our larger meeting earlier this summer.
CIS Affiliate Scholars Peter Asaro, Ryan Calo and Woodrow Hartzog will all be participating in this two-day conference.

Hours after gunman Micah Johnson ambushed police officers in downtown Dallas, he was killed by a bomb strapped on a police robot. Robots in the past have stopped a lot of dangerous situations, but using a robot to kill - that was a first for a domestic police force. Kris Van Cleave reports on the ethical questions about the use of robots to kill suspects.

The University of Washington School of Law is delighted to announce a public workshop on the law and policy of artificial intelligence, co-hosted by the White House and UW's Tech Policy Lab.

This week, General Motors announced that it would pour $500 million into the ride-sharing service Lyft, with an aim of eventually producing a fleet of self-driving cars. And the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was filled with autonomous vehicle tech tidbits from companies such as Toyota and Nvidia. But what might a future in which all cars can drive themselves do to our cities, towns, and society? Industry observers say that while it's clear that there will be robotic cars, it's much less clear how people will choose to use them.

Happy New Year! And there's already so much going on. We're keeping it close to home today, to start 2016. As close as the sky above us. The Federal Aviation Administration and NASA see it getting really busy with drones. Maybe a million-plus new drones out there just in recent weeks. Amazon and Google keep pushing for drone delivery. Now NASA's talking drone highways in the sky. This hour On Point, how we will live with drones.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
From the moment you pick it up, you'll be impressed. The first thing you'll notice is its size: like the book's title, this is a big, weighty tome. But that's okay, because as anyone who has used it will know, Operations Manager 2007 is a big, complicated product.
Unlike many other IT books, Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed does a lot more than step you through how to perform particular tasks, although it does this as well. Take, for instance, the architectural overview, which covers a range of implementation scenarios large and small, lists all the ports that each component uses, and unravels mysteries such as objects, entities, monitors and rules.
When it comes to stepping through tasks that you will need to perform, Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed provides lots of detail. If like me, you've struggled with how to create rules and monitors, this book will quickly become your bible. Examples are detailed, well explained, and packed with useful hints and tips.
The level of detail is staggering and, most appealingly of all, there is plenty of real world help and advice. Want recommendations on what components can be virtualised? You'll find it in here. Wondering what sort of load a certain number of clients will put on your network? Covered. Wondering how best to target your rules or monitors at a particular group of computers? Check.
Having spent several months wading through oceans of Microsoft documents and having been desperately disappointed by other titles on Operations Manager 2007, this book is everything I hoped for. If you're looking for a lightweight guide to quickly get you up to speed with Operations Manager, this isn't for you. But for anyone who is working seriously with Operations Manager, this book is an absolute must.
Almost too big for a beginners guide although you would get a good overview of functionality if used in a test lab. But if you use OpsMgr regularly then experience, the Microsoft newsgroups and google are a far better solution than this book.
The referencing and indexing in the book make it difficult to find the sections you are are after. Examples are often ill-fitted to the text and the writers seem more fond of long words and convoluted sentences than actually explaining things.
If you are already an expert in OpsMger 2007, this may be a book for you. If you aren't, or you just want a reference, leave this one alone.

I can't say this is a must own for anyone using SCOM, but if you've been floundering a bit, as I have, or you're just getting started, this is a fantastic resource to get you on your feet and get your SCOM system up and running.
Unleashed is infrastructure focused, and delivers great process-related info for not only design, planning and implementation, but more common administrative scenarios than one can count - moving databases, changing accounts, tuning your environment - it's all in there. And while I wouldn't expect many to read this book cover to cover, I think you could reference it regularly in your daily life as an Opsgmr admin for a long time and never look at the same page twice.
From a planning perspective, I think the team did a good job overall providing providing some insight into the decision process when mapping out your Opsmgr infrastructure plan. The ACS chapter in particular had excellent guidance for getting ACS running, and then tweaking the ACS reports to your liking.
As a testament to the size of Operations Manager as a product, the authors make copius references to community sources for scripts and information (kudos to the team for recognizing the community effort). But you'll also find quite a bit of that community data on the very handy CD accompanying the book.
And already in the book, I can see many SP1 changes that didn't make this 1st version due to lead time in editing cycles at the publisher, which is totally necessary. To that end, a 2nd edition is probably in the works, which will likely include many new tricks from recent months and some yet to be discovered.
I think there is something for everybody in Operations Manager Unleashed, and I encourage all Operations Manager administrators to keep one on the shelf for a rainy day.

For example, of the 15 pages on using XML with SCOM, 10 are spent on explaining XML tags, and how to open an xml file in notepad or ie. Most of the remainder are filled with an xml file dump with a brief section providing a paragraph explaining each of the major sections.
That's it. No review of how to import the xml; nothing on how to alter an existing xml file; no discussion of the schema.
Other sections of the text are at a similarly low level of technical detail.
It is a good book, well written and contains very good references on the basic and advanced capabilities of the solution.
The only downside is (as it can be expected) that it has no information on the latest updates on SCOM, including R2 that has many new capabililities including cross platform monitoring capabilities and others.
Still a good book...

A new court ruling has been issued in the ongoing conflict between the US Navy and marine wildlife advocates. This time, the ruling has come down in favor of whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals that are adversely affected by naval use of sonar.
Sonar, which involves navigation or detection of underwater objects using sound waves, is a natural phenomenon used by whales and dolphins to locate prey or members of their pod. Yet the human-developed version of sonar can be harmful to marine mammals and their feeding and mating patterns.

Obama toughens Arctic drilling rules
The Obama administration rolled out a suite of new regulatory standards Thursday to strengthen offshore oil and natural gas safety in the unique, unforgiving Arctic Ocean.
It's the first time that the federal government has put forth specific safety rules for the Arctic, which is vastly different in numerous ways from more developed offshore drilling areas like the Gulf of Mexico.
Climate change: the missing issue of the 2016 campaign
The race for the White House is failing to grapple with the key issues of the day, especially the urgent need to combat climate change before atmospheric changes become irreversible, a slice of the American electorate believes.
As the primary election season turns toward a head-to-head between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, there is increasing anger and frustration over the nature of the contest. A Guardian call-out to online readers in the US asking them to reflect on the race so far was met by a barrage of criticism on the tone and substance of the world's most important election – with the two main parties, individual candidates and the media all coming under heavy fire.
High Levels of Toxins Found in Bodies of People Living Near Fracking Sites
Many of the toxic chemicals escaping from fracking and natural gas processing sites and storage facilities may be present in much higher concentrations in the bodies of people living or working near such sites, new research has shown.
In a first-of-its-kind study combining air-monitoring methods with new biomonitoring techniques, researchers detected volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from natural gas operations in Pavillion, Wyoming in the bodies of nearby residents at levels that were as much as 10 times that of the national averages.
Flood hits mosque in Pakistan, dozens feared dead
Dozens are feared dead after floods struck northern Pakistan, washing away a mosque during Ramadan prayers, authorities told CNN Sunday.
Authorities fear more monsoon rains will bring further disaster this week.
The death toll hit 41 in the Chitral district in far northeast Pakistan by the Afghanistan border, where 23 people are reported missing, said Kyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) provincial disaster management authority spokesman Latif Ur Rehman. The region is susceptible to flash floods.
2 Florida Counties Added to Algae Bloom Emergency
Scott issued Executive Order 16-155 declaring an emergency in Martin and St. Lucie counties Wednesday, according to a statement, but added Lee and Plam Beach counties a day later. The executive order allows state and local governments to take action against the spread of the algal blooms by redirecting the water flow in and out of Lake Okeechobee, which many believe are to blame for the foul-smelling algae that one resident described to the Associated Press as "guacamole-thick."
Wildfires engulfing the west coast are fueled by climate change, experts warn
Scorching wildfires that are raging throughout the American south-west are being fueled by climate change and require new strategies from states to prevent ever-greater destruction of people's lives and property, a group of experts have warned.
High temperatures, drought and wind have combined to create a number of fires that have caused at least two deaths in California. The first large wildfire of the summer has this week broken out in northern California, burning through more than 1,200 acres and threatening thousands of homes in an area around 50 miles north-east of Sacramento.

Making of Breaking Benjamin's 'I Will Not Bow' Music Video
The music video for Breaking Benjamin's new single "I Will Not Bow" had been made public in August, and now the band streamed a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video. Nearly four minutes long, the on-set video is posted on the band's MySpace and exposes the shooting of the band rocking out in 7 World Trade Center.
The video also features the band sitting down and addressing issues from "I Will Not Bow" being chosen as a theme song for "Surrogates" to working on their fourth studio album, "Dear Agony", with producer David Bendeth. When talking about "Surrogates", frontman Benjamin Burnley admits that he could make good use of a surrogate.
"I Will Not Bow" is not only picked up as a soundtrack for "Surrogates", but also chosen as the lead single off the band's upcoming fourth studio effort. The album is set to arrive in the U.S on September 29, four days after the Jonathan Mostow's action thriller starring Bruce Willis opens wide in the country on September 25. The tracklisting of the album has just been unraveled.

SINGAPORE – To say there was a little pressure on Royston Wee this week would probably be an understatement.
After just two pro fights, Wee signed with the UFC as the promotion's first fighter from Singapore and made his promotional debut in the UFC's first event there. Not only was he fighting for personal pride, but he had an entire country he was trying to do right by, as well.
But even as an underdog, Wee (3-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) left little doubt with a dominant win over David Galera (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC). He had to eat an illegal upkick to get there, but it probably was worth the price.
"It feels great," Wee said after the win. "Coming into this fight, there was a lot of pressure from the public and the media. I just did what I needed to do – train hard and get my win."
The 27-year-old bantamweight had to leave the first round for the first time against Galera. His first two pro fights both ended with first-round submissions – and those wins were more than two years ago.
So he had the pressure of a long layoff to go along with the pressure of performing in front of his home fans at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore.
But it's pressure that he tried his best to eschew ahead of the fight.
"Whether or not there are people who doubt me, my intention in the UFC is to win and to perform," he said. "I'm glad I got my first win in my debut and I hope I brought a good fight to you guys. I've been training very hard for the past six months. I haven't really had a break at all. I'm just glad I'm able to perform and bring a win tonight. I was just relieved that I can now take a vacation."
Mark Fischer, the UFC's Executive Vice President and Managing Director of UFC Asia, said he was encouraged by what Wee brought to the table in his debut.
"I think he's got a very bright future based on what we saw tonight," Fischer said. "A lot of people questioned Royston – is he the right guy? Is he really the best fighter in Singapore to be the first (in the UFC)? And I think he proved tonight that Sean Shelby and the guys who make those decisions in the UFC were correct. We're looking forward to seeing Royston in the octagon again.

Popular cub is mauled, euthanized
By J. Harry Jones
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER April 18, 2006
Park spokeswoman Christina Simmons said a keeper had mistakenly removed a wire barrier separating the lion and the cub just before 9 a.m., and the lioness attacked.
Although workers separated the lioness and Koza quickly, the cub received three bites, at least one of which severely damaged his spinal cord, Simmons said.
After being examined and treated for several hours, the decision was made to put down the 5-month-old cub.
Koza and his companion, Cairo, an Italian mastiff puppy, have been housed together in the park's nursery since January and have been a featured attraction that has enjoyed widespread media coverage.
Many visitors have come to the park expressly to watch the cub and dog frolic in the nursery.
Simmons said that efforts had been under way recently "to slowly introduce Koza to the adult lions."
The first step was to let the adult lions smell but not see Koza. The next step was to allow the lions to see Koza through a heavy wire barrier.
Yesterday morning, a worker made a mistake and removed the barrier.
"It was human error made by the animal-care staff person," Simmons said.
The dog was not present when Koza was attacked, she said.
Koza was born by Caesarean section from a mother pregnant with twins; the other cub died. Because of her condition after the difficult birth, the mother lion was unable to care for Koza. The mother is at the park.
The lioness that attacked Koza was not the cub's mother, Simmons said.
Cairo and Koza were housed together because lions are social animals but there were no other cubs at the park for Koza in interact with.
