Fed Calls Out Congress
One change in the Fed statement caught the attention of market watchers: Ben Bernanke is placing more of the blame on policy makers for the weak economy.
In Wednesday's statement, the Fed said "fiscal policy is restraining economic growth." The previous statement, released in March, said "fiscal policy has become somewhat more restrictive." The change in language struck a chord with at least a few Wall Street strategists.
"The first thing that jumps out in the Fed statement is the change in language related to fiscal policy," says Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at New York brokerage firm BTIG. "The difference may be semantic to some but not to the Fed.
"They increasingly view fiscal policy as an impediment to what they've been trying to accomplish," Greenhaus added. "Today's statement is an outright affirmation of that view…As long as fiscal policy remains constrictive, then the Fed is likely to do more rather than less."
Others have also picked up on this theme.
"The FOMC is down to only one downside risk to the outlook –the federal budget," said Steve Blitz, chief economist at ITG Investment Research. "No longer are the global financial situation, household balance sheets and the extension of credit restraining possibilities worthy of note. Nope, the only thing left holding things back is fiscal austerity."
The market had a bit of a ho-hum reaction to the Fed statement. The Dow remains down about 90 points, or 0.6%, to 14750, after earlier being down as many as 124 points Merck & Co Verizon Communications and Cisco Systems were among the biggest declining blue-chip stocks.
"While the Fed stands prepared to do what's necessary in either direction they have also clearly laid down the gauntlet by calling out Obama and Congress as impediments to growth and the downside risk to the economy," Blitz said.

NATCHITOCHES, La. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team tied a season high in runs, and set a new high in hits for the year with 17 as they defeated the Northwestern State Demons by a 13-5 final on Saturday. The rubber game of the series is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Sunday, with it being moved up due to the threat of rain.
The Islanders improved to 14-20 overall, and 7-10 in Southland games. NSU is now 14-18 this season, 10-7 in league play. Adam Hoelscher did not have his best performance of the season, but he battled for 5.2 innings, giving up five runs on 1- hits with one walk and one strikeout. Tanner Green pitched 2.1 innings, giving up just one hit while striking out two, while Jonathan Gonzales and Franco Pace came on to close out the ninth.
Jordan Lee had a 4-for-5 day at the plate with two RBI, while Gonzales and Santiago Ruiz each had three hits on the day. Eric Weiss had a very efficient day at the plate, going 0-for-0 with a sacrifice fly and five walks in the game while scoring three runs and driving in one. Stafford Brantley and Weston Montgomery also had multi-hit games with two apiece.
In addition to Lee, Brantley, Jeramie Marek, Ruiz and Trevor Belicek each had two RBI in the game. Lee, Drew Vest, Gonzales and Brantley each scored two runs, while Marek and Montgomery scored one run apiece. The 17 hits for the Islanders were the most in a game since the team had 18 against New Mexico on February 20, 2009.
In the first inning, Lee, Vest and Gonzales started things off with singles to load the bases. Brantley followed by getting hit by a pitch to make it a 1-0 game. Weiss followed with a sacrifice fly to right, making it a 2-0 score.
Marek reached on an error by the shortstop that allowed Gonzales to score, and was followed by an error on the third baseman that allowed Ruiz to reach and loaded the bases for the second time in the inning. Belicek came through with a big two-RBI single to right that brought home Marek and Brantley, making it a 5-0 game after the top of the first.
The Demons quickly responded however, plating three runs to make it a 5-3 game after one complete inning.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi added to their lead in the second, scoring four more runs to extend the lead to 9-3. The inning started with Vest reaching and advancing all the way to third on a throwing error. Gonzales followed with a hit by pitch to put runners on the corners. Brantley then came through with an RBI single to right to score Vest.
After the Demons changed pitchers for the second time of the game, Brantley stole second to put runners on second and third, and was followed by a walk to Weiss that loaded the bases. Marek came up with a two-RBI single to left, scoring Gonzales and Brantley.
Ruiz followed with a sacrifice bunt to move Weiss to third and Marek to second. Back-to-back walks to Montgomery and Lee forced in Weiss to finish the scoring and make it a 9-3 game.
Northwestern added a run in the fourth to bring the score to 9-4, but the Islanders would add more in the sixth.
After three straight innings without a run, the Islanders put one on the board in the sixth. Ruiz singled to start the inning, but the momentum looked like it was gone after a double play. Montgomery then singled and Lee followed with an RBI double down the left field line to make it a 10-4 game. Two wild pitches by the new Demons pitcher allowed Lee to move to third and then score to make it 11-4.
The Demons added one run in the bottom of the sixth, but Texas A&M – Corpus Christi responded with one of their own in the seventh to make it a 12-5 lead.
Weiss walked and advanced to second on a groundout before Ruiz followed with an RBI double to score the runner from second.
The Islanders added one more run in the ninth, with Weiss drawing a two-out walk, and Ruiz coming through with his second straight RBI double to score Weiss from first, making it a 13-5 score.
In the ninth, Gonzales came on to pitch and struck out the first batter of the inning before Pace came on to get the final two outs of the inning to finish the game.
The final game of the series will feature Daniel Minor and Andrew Adams on the mound for their respective teams.

BERKELEY -- More than 125 people gathered on the sidewalk and spilled into the street at the top of Solano Avenue at a Monday afternoon protest that joined hundreds of similar demonstrations across North America opposing construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Their placards read, "No keystone/no tar sands" and "This land is your land/It's not for tarsands." Musicians from Ocupella sang "Ain't gonna let Chevron Refinery turn me around" and "We'll be taxing corporations when she comes" as a steady stream of drivers creeping past the demonstrators honked and waved approval.
If approved, a $5.5 billion 1,179-mile pipeline will be built to move tar sands oil from western Canada to Texas.
On Friday, according to Reuters, the U.S. State Department released the project's Final Environment Impact Report, which says the pipeline has little impact on global warming and says replacing the Keystone XL pipeline project with freight trains carrying the oil could result in an average of six additional rail-related deaths and 300 oil spills per year.
But protesters oppose extraction of the heavy fuel, which the Sierra Club says creates three more times carbon emissions than conventional oil extraction and destroys Canadian forests.
"Stopping the pipeline is a life or death issue; it's environmental abuse," said Harry Brill, who helped organize the demonstration.
Brill helped found Tax the Rich, a group of about 35 people who demonstrate weekly in front of the shuttered Oaks Theater, targeting wealth inequality, especially cuts to Social Security and food stamps. Brill said people from CREDO and the Sierra Club came to him, asking to expand the regular weekly protest and join the nationwide Keystone demonstrations.
"We're hoping that the collective effort will help get the pipeline rejected," Brill said.
Protester Marilyn Jensen said the answer is in conservation of natural resources.
And Deborah Jordan said stopping the project doesn't take an act of Congress. "Obama can do it by himself," she said.
President Barack Obama is expected to make a final decision by next summer, though he faces no deadline.

Today's guest blogger is PFLAG National Board Member Rev. Gilbert H. Caldwell, a retired United Methodist Minister of the Rocky Mountain (Denver) Conference:
Amy DeLong, an ordained United Methodist Minister, will go on trial on June 21, 2011 for performing a Holy Union of two women in 2009. and because she has been open about her committed relationship to her female partner of 15 years. The United Methodist Church has for many years abided by language and legislation enacted by the legislative body of the denomination, a General Conference of many years ago, that prohibits United Methodist clergy from performing Holy Unions for same sex couples. The denomination also puts on church trial, clergy who have been charged because they acknowledge that they are in a same gender relationship. Many of us are praying and hoping that Amy Delong will be judged not guilty in 2011 as Tituba was in 1692 in the Salem witch trials.
Who was Tituba? I first heard of her in one of the classrooms of a racially segregated school in Texas where I grew up many,many years ago. Our teachers, all of whom were black as was the student body, felt that it was important for their black students to become acquainted with black persons whose names and lives were an important part of history.Too often their stories were made invisible by a culture and practice that rendered them second class. Tituba was a slave who belonged to a Rev. Samuel Parris. She was one of the first three women to be arrested who were accused of engaging in witchcraft during the beginning of the Salem Witch Trials. Tituba, who in some writings is described as the "black witch" was dark of skin because of her ancestry that was thought to be South American Indian. Before arriving in Salem, she spent time as a slave in Barbados. Tituba was not hanged as were many of the women, but the visions that she described and the demons she claimed she saw, made her a "witch" in the minds of many of those who knew her.
The coming trial of Amy DeLong cannot help but cause me to remember what I have heard and what I have read about those long ago trials in Salem.The United Methodist Church in its language and legislation and its trials, has made of clergy who help same sex couples celebrate the love from God that they express toward each other, Witches. And, if those clergy acknowledge that they are in a same-gender loving relationship themselves as Amy has done, their "Witch-ness" is compounded. We now regret the insensitive irrationality of the Salem Trials. I wonder how will The United Methodist Church express its regret, when in that time that is certain to come, performing a same sex union and/or being open about one's same gender relationship, will no longer be considered "incompatible with Christian teaching" as our current United Methodist Book of Discipline states?
How ironic it is that in a year when The Presbyterian Church (USA) through voting at the regional level, affirmed the ordination of same gender loving clergy, we in The United Methodist Church are bringing Amy Delong to trial?
My hope is that the Rev. Amy DeLong will be found not guilty as those who judge her remember how wrong the Methodist denomination was when some in the Church once used the Bible to support slavery, racial segregation and prohibitions against the ordination of women. And, if those memories are insufficient to render her not guilty, may her judges recognize that if the military now believes that the practice of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is morally unjustifiable, why cannot The United Methodist Church do the same?
We used to sing in the marches and the protest lines of the Civil Rights Movement, a Spiritual that ended with these words; "Before I'll be a slave, I'll be buried in my grave, and go home to my Lord and be free." I have known Gay United Methodist clergy who because of the restrictions of their Church against them being open about their Gay sexual orientation, in death have experienced the affirmation and acceptance of a loving God, that was denied them by their Church while they lived.
May the members and friends of PFLAG, those related to other Gay rights organizations, and those in religious bodies that now accept clergy like Amy DeLong, let The United Methodist Church know they are watching and hoping and praying as she is being tried. May her trial be "The Last United Methodist Trial" of a clergyperson whose "Call to Ministry" compels them to be in ministry to and with all persons and to be open about their sexual orientation.**********

This was the 1 episode in all of Pokemon that I disliked the most. The only thing I liked was seeing Quagsire for the 1st time. The whole plot of this episode was really bad...
This was the 1 episode in all of Pokemon that I disliked the most. The only thing I liked was seeing Quagsire for the 1st time. The whole plot of this episode was really bad...
Pokemon HeartGold team:
This episode was nice with the GS ball but Quagsire was so annoying wanting it, not giving up until it finally got it but Ash was the lucky one because his item came last in the stream.
Quagsire is cute! It was good to see Ash getting the GS Ball back, but the idea of the Quagsire stealing round items was cool! And Chikorita made this even better. She has a crush on Ashyboy. But she doesn't stand a chance against Misty! 10/10.
My fanfics:
Aquatic Passion (multi-chaptered fic)
Misty, The Mysterious Mermaid (oneshot)
Together Forever (drabble collection)
Love, South Park Style (oneshot)
Working On A Dream (multi-chaptered fic)
Merry Christmas (oneshot)
Seaking Catching Day (oneshot)
Awareness (multi-chaptered fic)
Changes (multi-chaptered fic)
It's Ledyba!
I liked seeing Quagsire, and this was a somewhat interesting episode, but it was still edging towards being boring. Chikorita having a crush on Ash was funny. The way the Quagsire attacked Team Rocket was also funny!
I love how they are hyping the GS ball up so much, only letting it slide away in complete mystery after it got delivered to Kurt. Qaugsire was good and its almost impossible to not notice how much they spend every episode debuting new Pokémons. In a way that is good, but also gets mandatory longer it drags on.
I know I love Water Pokemon in all, but Quagsire scare me for some reason. It's just that face that they have. Anyways, it was an okay episode, I was a little annoyed to how that Quagsire kept coming back for the GS Ball. Officer Jenny says Ash will have good luck. I wonder what that is? Because I surely forgot. xD
Probavly one lf the funnier johto fillers early on.
Funny how The GS ball is the thing that becomes the luckiest item, yet it's the thing that just get's thrown to the wayside later.
My top favorites
Claimed by me!
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" - Sgt. Greg Parker, SRU
Misty's Psyduck's first interaction with the Quagsire that snatched the GS Ball made me cackle, and I liked that Jenny arrested Ash and friends; it was different from the norm at least. I liked the river scenes at night when the Quagsire launched their spherical objects into the night sky most of all.
Aww man I wish Ash had caught the Quagsire who had taken the GS Ball as his Johto water type but too bad it didn't happen. I liked how the Quagsires launched the stolen balls over the waterfall at the end it looked so pretty.
Quagsire normally seem slow and dopey like Psyduck but they seemed clever here even though they were thieves who stole balls. 6.5/10
My favorite scene was when the Quagsire gang began their ritual at the waterfall and how Ash's GS Ball was tossed the highest.
I love this episode! The Quagsire are so cute! The plot was pretty interesting too, and it intrigued me.

YEAR IN REVIEW: For the region, 2012 was a year of mergers, openings and closings
While the national and international business worlds focused on such issues as the "fiscal cliff," the initial public offering of Facebook shares, and the introduction of iPhone5 in 2012, the business communities in Greater Waterbury and Litchfield County were riveted on their own issues and events.
The region's biggest ongoing business story of 2012 was the effort by Waterbury's two hospitals to merge and form a joint venture with a Texas company that would ultimately result in the construction of a new state-of-the-art hospital in downtown Waterbury, to replace both Saint Mary's and Waterbury hospitals.

An FTC study out Monday found that about one in four credit reports contain some kind of error and 5 percent include errors that could keep a consumer from getting a less expensive loan or even a job.
Given the tens of millions of credit reports produced, it's not surprising there are errors. Many people have the same first and last name. It's easy to get a Social Security number wrong. A lender can forward the wrong information.
The FTC said its study underscores the importance of consumers checking their reports regularly. Free credit reports from the nation's three big reporting bureaus - Equifax, Trans-Union and Experian - are available at the government's annualcreditreport.com.
But checking isn't enough, especially given widespread complaints from consumers who say the credit rating agencies consistently fail to make corrections.
In the FTC study, an error spotted by a consumer and brought to the attention of the reporting agency was settled in the consumer's favor about 60 percent of the time. But if the error showed up on reports from all three agencies, a settlement agreeing with the consumer dropped to 31 percent.
The FTC's suggestion if there's a dispute: contact the credit reporting bureau. What's needed is a requirement that those agencies respond in writing spelling out specifically where the disputed information came from, why the agency is denying the requested fix and a specific appeal process the consumer can take.
A fix shouldn't take months or years. And it shouldn't take going to court. If the information is wrong the report should be fixed.
Consumers shouldn't be at the mercy of faceless credit bureaus when ratings can mean the difference between getting a loan or not or getting or even keeping a job.

Google Maps has updated their aerial imagery for Polk and Warren counties.
I believe both counties are now hi-res, which means you can go to the full zoom level of Google Maps and get some nice detail.
The Polk images look fairly new to me, and are much better than the previous ones, in my opinion. I don't like the color of Big Creek's, but the high-res is nice. Nobody home at Walnut. 1 car at Big Creek, and the players' shadows might be approaching basket #12. The Ewing images are awesome, as are Grandview. Who has the bigass bright yellow van at Ewing?
Warren is now in hi-res, but I'm not sure the images are new. Doesn't Pickard have tee pads? None visible on the images. I swear some online service (probably Warren County GIS) had tee pads visible there at one point, but not on Google Maps.
Anyway, enjoy.

National Jewish Health is a leader in the area of immune deficiency — both in the care of patients and in related research. We have developed many diagnostic tests that are designed to help diagnose immunodeficiency disorders. The effort is ongoing as the genetic basis for many immunodeficiency disorders is being discovered at an increasingly rapid pace.
We run a state-of-the-art intravenous immunogloblin (IVIG) infusion room. This has been a pioneer program that provides an environment and atmosphere more like a home than a hospital or clinic. Our rapid infusion protocol has resulted in success with individuals who come in regularly for their infusions. This minimizes loss of time from work or school and helps foster adherence to regular therapy.
In the area of immune deficiency, we emphasize preventive care and a multidisciplinary approach. Our immunologists, infectious disease specialists, interstitial lung disease experts and gastroenterology colleagues work together to care for patients with complex infections, lung involvement or complication of the GI tract. Our approach has resulted in patients who have a dramatic decrease in infections, fewer systemic complications of their underlying conditions and a good response to early antibiotic therapy when necessary.
Our physicians are experts in the treatment of respiratory, immune and related diseases.

In the films we have chosen this Fall we will look at aspects of that passion as it manifests itself in the lives of people just like us and in situations that are part of our lived reality today. In them we encounter the forces of good that work towards life and the forces inimical to our human worth that seek to diminish or destroy us. In that encounter we see ourselves and the ways in which we can or do behave. It raises the question we are called to ask of ourselves: how am I in my spiritual journey when I encounter people or situations or elements in myself that seek destruction rather than life?
Through these films we get glimpses of how people behave in the very human situations in which Christ found himself. It is our hope that as you enter these films, attentively and spiritually, you discover in yourself areas that celebrate life and areas that cry out for life. We hope that you can acknowledge the celebrations with gratitude and offer up the pain in your life to resurrection, which is the compassionate mercy of the Divine Love offered to all.

Garcia, Leishman on top after Round 1 at Masters
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 11:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 11:07 p.m.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Sergio Garcia might have written himself off too quickly at the Masters.
The Masters
Second round
3 p.m., ESPN
When last seen walking off the course at Augusta National, the impetuous Spaniard was moping about his bad luck at this tournament and said last year it was increasingly evident he would never be fitted for a green jacket.
Garcia matched his best score at the Masters on Thursday, a 6-under 66 with no bogeys on his card, to share the lead with Marc Leishman of Australia. And he still wasn't entirely happy, although this time with good reason. He hit the ball so well his score could have been so much better.
"To tell you the truth, if I manage to make a couple of the putts that kind of stayed around the lip, I could have been probably 7- or 8-under par through 10," Garcia said. "It was that good. And it wasn't like I was hitting pitching wedge every single time. I was hitting 4-irons and 5-irons and 6-irons, so it wasn't that easy."
It sure felt easy for several players in a gentle opening round — even for an eighth-grader.
Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old from China and youngest to compete in a major in 148 years, played well beyond his age and holed a 15-foot putt from just off the 18th green for a respectable round of 73 and a reasonable chance of making the cut.
Tiger Woods wasn't far off as he began his quest for a fifth green jacket. Wild at the start, including a tee shot that knocked a cup of beer out of a spectator's hand, Woods settled into a groove and opened with a 70 as his girlfriend, Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, watched on a few holes.
In his four Masters wins, Woods has never opened with a score lower than 70. His key is not to shoot himself out of the tournament.
"It's a good start," he said. "Some years, some guys shot 65 starting out here. But right now, I'm only four back and I'm right there."
Garcia and Leishman had a one-shot lead over Dustin Johnson, who has a game that fits perfectly for Augusta and he finally brought it. Johnson hit a 9-iron for his second shot on the par-5 13th and made a 15-foot eagle putt, and he smashed his drive on the par-5 15th and hit pitching wedge just through the green for an easy birdie.
Fred Couples, the 53-year-old wonder at his favorite major, made bogey on the 18th and still was in the large group at 68. There were a dozen rounds in the 60s, and nearly half the field shot par or better. Three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson recovered from a rough start by running off four birdies in a five-hole stretch on the back nine to salvage a 71, while Rory McIlroy had a 72.
Woods said he struggled with the slower pace of the greens, and so did defending champion Bubba Watson, who opened with a 75.
"They're soft and they are slow, and consequently we have 45 people at par or better," Mickelson said. "But that means I've got to change my whole mindset and just get after these pins, because the ball's not running like it used to and I'm giving this course way too much respect because of my past knowledge."
It's not about respect for Garcia. Augusta National is the ultimate love-hate relationship, and Thursday was a rarity. He loved it.
Garcia began his round with an approach that danced by the hole and left him a tap-in birdie. He rolled in a 20-foot birdie on the par-3 sixth, and then shot up the leaderboard with a pair of tough, downhill putts from 8 feet on the ninth and 15 feet on the 10th.
"It's obviously not my most favorite place," he said. "But you know, we try to enjoy it as much as we can each time we come here. Sometimes it comes out better than others, but today it was one of those good days. Let's enjoy it while it lasts."
That was a far different attitude than last year on the weekend, when he went from one shot out of the lead going into the third round to back in the pack with a 75. He told Spanish reporters that day he had been trying his entire career to win a major and "I don't feel capable of winning. ... After 13 years, my chances are over. I'm not good enough for the majors. That's it."
Not so fast.
Garcia struggled off the tee on the back nine, and he three-putted for par at the 13th. He also made tough par saves on the 11th and 17th for his first bogey-free round at the Masters since 2002.
"The last eight holes mean a lot that I kept my composure, even though I didn't hit it as well as I did the first 10 holes," he said.

Officials with James River Coal Company have confirmed to Mountain News they have furloughed 525 coal miners at three mines across our region.
Officials with the Richmond, Virginia based company said Monday night the layoffs occurred at operations at the McCoy Elkhorn complex in Pike and Floyd counties, the Bledsoe complex in Leslie and Harlan counties and the Long Branch Surface mine in London.
You can find the release from the company about the furloughs here:
Original story:
Hundreds of miners throughout the region could be without jobs.
Word is spreading that one coal company laid off or furloughed hundreds of miners.
However, company officials will not confirm any of it.
James River Coal Company runs several mines in Eastern Kentucky with the latest layoffs appearing to be centered around Pike, Harlan and Leslie Counties, potentially more than 500 jobs in Pike County alone.
At a time when the Eastern Kentucky coal industry has seen a steady decline in jobs officials say losing that many jobs at these mines would devastate the area.
"It's important for people to remember for everyone one direct lob lost we lose at least three other jobs that are dependent on that coal miner for their livelihood, so this is a very very serious economic time for Eastern Kentucky. There's really nowhere else in the country that has felt the kind of loss in production and employment like we've seen in Eastern Kentucky," said Bill Bissett, President of the Kentucky Coal Association.
Bissett says there are many reasons for the industry's issues, including competitive prices of natural gas and extensive regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency.
As of right now there is no word on specific numbers or if the layoffs will be permanent.
Mountain News did receive a copy of a letter that was given to a furloughed miner at a Bledsoe mine. The letter states that all the furloughed miners will keep their benefits for up to three months.
Mountain News tried several times today to contact officials at James River Coal. Our calls were not returned.

Interarchy - Advanced File Transfer Made Easy
Want a way to easily upload, download, edit, mirror and manage your remote files? Interarchy 9, with its powerful, intuitive, easy-to-use interface, will make light work of whatever you throw at it. Ideal for transferring files over the Internet using FTP, SFTP, SSH, WebDAV, and more.
Required OS: 10.5
Tags: ftp , web , sftp , ssh , internet , webdav
12 Opinions
Not terribly useful unless you're willing to invest a lot of time and effort changing the way you think about FTP transfers. The paradigm is both extremely granular and quite different from any other client I've used. It's powerful, but at the cost of a steep learning curve. And the documentation is opaque in its deceptive simplicity. I think if you're an Automator geek, it's likely to be right up your alley, but for the rest of us, it's not an ideal solution.
I'm utterly addicted to Interarchy. It makes my life so much easier, and is the best FTP client for the Mac. Well worth every penny I paid for it.
My current FTP of choices due to the fact it has the 'ignore' feature. The only problem is it's not as easy to use as Transmit or Cyberduck.
Awesome. For me FTP = Interarchy.
I use Interarchy almost all day every day and I can't imagine using any other FTP client out there -- this one is simply amazing. Not to mention the nicest people that are behind it.
Nice app, but Cyberduck is free, and for me, does just the same.
Everyone talks up how great a certain other FTP program is (and how finder-like it is) when really, Interarchy blows it out of the water. Fantastic app and well worth the money.
It is so much more than just a ftp program. One of the best applications available for the Mac. A real time saver. Everything just works.

Arenas de San Pedro
Alcántara Monastery
- Region: Castile-Leon
- Provins/øy: Ávila
In addition to its extensive heritage, Arenas de San Pedro is an interesting tourist destination thanks to its famous caves "Cuevas del Águila", discovered in 1963, and located six kilometres away from the town. In the city centre we see the remarkable castle of Triste Condesa (the Sad Countess), with a great keep; the Gothic 16th-century church of Nuestra Señora de Asunción, with a splendid belltower; and the palace of the Infante Don Luis de Borbón. It is also essential to visit the sanctuary of San Pedro de Alcántara, from the 16th century, declared a Historic-Artistic Heritage in 1972. Located three kilometres away from Arenas, this sanctuary was remodelled in the 18th century, following the plans of architect Ventura Rodríguez, who erected a magnificent funerary chapel. In the orchard there is a thornless rosebush that, legend says, is a miracle performed by San Pedro de Alcántara. The museum in the Royal Chapel exhibits an interesting collection of liturgical precious metalwork.

Chilling Decision
EPA's powers need to be curbed
April 25, 2013
A federal appeals court has reversed a lower court ruling against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in a case with wide-ranging ramifications....
I understand that the EPA has a right to monitor clean waters via the Clean Water Act. What I do not agree with is that simply because an administration changes and someone has a clear agenda can revoke a lawfully issued permit. No one should EVER be above the law including our current President.

AaronS: The EPA has helped but they are now overstepping the authority. Think how many years the Coal industry has supported the people of West Virginia.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Sorry Neo but you're wrong on the EPA. They gave the go ahead to the permits in 1999 during the Clinton Administration. In 2002, under the Bush Administration, the EPA had concerns but those issues were addressed and once again, the EPA gave their blessing. Between 2003 and 2007, the permit underwent the MOST EXTENSIVE environmental study in the history of mining, the EPA was involved the entire time, all issues were resolved, a legal permit was issued in January, 2007 and operations began.
It was not until the Obama Administration took over in 2009 that 'new information' caused the EPA to once again question the permit and essentially revoked the permit. The Circuit court ruled the EPA did not have the authority to revoke the lawfully issued permit, the DC Appeals court disagreed. I have a feeling the Supreme Court will make the final decision.

The idea that coal mining generates jobs for average men and women in the state is pure BS. Coal company owners like Jim Justice and Chris Cline are billionaires while the coal-producing counties in West Virginia have the highest poverty rates in the nation. After a century of environmental destruction by coal mining in the state, when can we expect some of the wealth to trickle down to the citizens?
5 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Actually it wasn't retroactive. It was the Army Corps of Engineers that gave the green light, which they can do for themselves but they can't speak for the EPA. The EPA didn't reach its final decision until some time after the Corps, which confused a lot of people. Defenders of the EPA say they were waiting for the coal company to agree to terms they had agreed to on earlier mines, & finally saw the company wouldn't.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This mine underwent the most stringent permitting process in the history of the United States, for 11 long years, under 2 Presidential administrations. They reduced the size and scope of the original request and responded to EVERY request during that time, becoming the first mine to undergo an environmental impact study. They were given the required go ahead by the government after this review and then when they were ready to begin operations, a new administration comes into town and changes the rules. I'm sorry folks, but that's not right and it will have a long lasting impact on business in this country.
As for those claiming mining is destroying WV, I wonder if they've been to areas they only read about? My guess is no given that what they state simply isn't true. I've traveled all over WV and contrary to what they say, southern WV still has mountains, they're still beautiful and majestic and thanks to some of the mining, there is actually business where there was none.

"mtthwhrrs" The EPA didn't declared it had the power to retroactively veto the permit for a strip mine, It does have the power to retroactively veto the permit for a stripe mine . And the federal appeals court agrees

Yeah, screw the coal miners!!! Did you guys miss the real point of this article?
"EPA declared it had the power to retroactively veto coal mining"
"It means NO ONE CAN EVER BE CERTAIN a federal permit or license, once granted, cannot be revoked" Investors don't invest when there isn't at least some certainty that can get a return on their investment. This is a job killer! Not just for coal miners.

SAN JOSE -- After years of debate, San Jose is finally getting fluoride in its drinking water.
A unanimous vote Tuesday by the Santa Clara Valley Water District endorsed a funding plan for the long-anticipated project for the largest city in the country without fluoridated drinking water. But it will take about two more years to finalize the details and retrofit local water plants to bring the additive aimed at saving children's teeth from decay to the city's taps.
"It's a big deal,'' said Dr. Marty Fenstersheib, Santa Clara County's health officer. "I used to ask people, 'What do you think of the fact we don't have fluoride in our water in San Jose?' A lot of people will tell you 'I didn't know we didn't have it.'''
Even with this project, though, San Jose residents won't be getting the optimal amount of fluoride in their drinking water.
While the water district came up with a public-private partnership to fund the $6.6 million to retrofit its three main plants for fluoride over the next two years, its largest customer -- San Jose Water Co. -- still needs to come up with another $18 million to retrofit dozens of its wells. Until then, San Jose Water customers will only get a diluted amount of fluoride.
Still, health advocates are thrilled that at least some fluoride will start flowing through household taps.
"This is a great day for the children of Santa Clara County," said Frederick J. Ferrer, CEO of The Health Trust, the county's largest provider of children's dental services, which is contributing $1 million to the fluoridation project.
Fluoridating water has been shown to decrease cavities in children as much as 40 percent, according to The Health Trust, and in most cities, every $1 invested in water fluoridation saves $38 in dental treatment costs.
Poor dental health among children in the county "is probably the number one health problem," Fenstersheib said. One in three children have at least one cavity by the time they start school, he said, with some needing root canals on baby teeth. Parents still need to avoid giving their children sugary drinks or putting them in bed with bottles of juice, he said. But even so, fluoride in drinking water will help families who can't afford dental care.
"When we talk to school nurses, they say kids come to school all the time with terrible dental issues and aren't ready to learn,'' Fenstersheib said. "They can't concentrate."
Critics who have packed public meetings on the issue over the past several years have long argued that fluoride in water isn't safe, saying too much of the chemical can pit the teeth, aggravate thyroid problems and causes other ailments. Health officials cite studies that have long disputed those concerns.
Although Tuesday's vote established a framework for paying for the project, the district still will have to negotiate details with the three nonprofits and will have to approve its own share as part of its 2014 budget.
Some $2.4 million of the $6.6 million Water District retrofit project will be paid for from donations from three nonprofits, including The Health Trust, First 5 Santa Clara County and the California Dental Association Foundation. Once the project is running, average households of five can expect their monthly water bill to increase about 50 cents a month.
It's been a long time coming. San Francisco began fluoridating water in the 1950s.
"We're the last large metropolitan district to do it," said Tony Estremera, a water district board member who voted in favor of the project Tuesday. "Probably the biggest reason is because our system is so complex. We have this diversity of sources and a complex system. How you integrate it all together has always been a big problem."
Palo Alto, for instance, gets its water from Hetch Hetchy, which is already fluoridated. Mountain View and Milpitas also have fluoridated water from other sources, as does the Evergreen neighborhood of east San Jose served by its own small water company. Cupertino, Saratoga and Campbell and some areas near the corridors of highways 85 and 87 have small amounts of fluoride that are mixed with their water. But most of San Jose, including downtown, and parts of the city of Santa Clara are still waiting.

A Bold Corporate Proposal: More Talk, Less Action
For those who don't spend their working hours in the board rooms of public companies, it's easy to assume that talking to your biggest shareholders is a major part of a board member's work.
In reality, the communication channels between institutional investors and boards are informal and unstructured. Sometimes they're hardly even open to begin with—a factor keenly exploited by activist investors, who pounce on companies that are deaf or unresponsive to investor concerns.
"In many cases the activists are crystallizing a level of discontent they perceive in the market," says Michelle Edkins, the head of corporate governance at BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager. "If mainstream investors feel they can communicate their concerns and be heard, then the board may be forewarned and do something before activists get involved."
Once they're involved, activists look for a fast, high-visibility outcome—one likely to give a quick boost to the share price and pave the way for a profitable exit. Institutional investors, on the other hand, can be more open to less dramatic, more gradual fixes.
"Sometimes the interests of activists, boards and institutional investors are aligned, but ultimately activists are buying something they think is undervalued, because they think they can create instant short-term value and cash out," says Les Brun, a board member at pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. "They want to get in at a price and get out at a price and calibrate their return. The long-term investor has a different outlook."
That outlook should be getting better communicated to boards, but "there has not been a methodology to have those kind of exchanges," Mr. Brun said. Last week, the Shareholder-Director Exchange was launched to try and build that methodology, announcing a proposed protocol that would guide how boards and investors talk to each other.
The SDX protocol is focused on creating a structure for those meetings. Under the protocol, boards should announce a clear policy on meeting with investors, including how the meetings can be set up, how they are run, and what is open for discussion.
It sounds like simple stuff, and is a first step toward adjusting boards to what Mr. Brun describes as a "brave new world" of shareholder activism. ""It recognizes that things are evolving and that the status quo is not the best place to be," he said.
The status quo has proved to be a productive place for activists. In 2013, FactSet counts 10 instances of U.S. companies making big changes—breaking themselves up, selling or exiting a business—after activists entered the picture. That was the most in the five years that FactSet has been tracking them. Globally, such moves against companies increased by 88% between 2010 and 2013, according to research commissioned by law firm Linklaters.
But the rise of the activists can be a headache for investors and boards, both of whom can be blindsided by a move on a company. For boards, an activist fight can be a time-consuming distraction. For long-term investors, while successful activism can drive up a company's share price in the short term, it can just as easily leave behind a business that is less valuable in the long run.
While the SDX hopes to limit the cost of messy activist fights, it will need to walk a delicate line with the people running companies on a day-to-day level. Managers and executives, not board members, are generally responsible for looking after investor relations, and boards are sensitive to not appear to be undermining that role.
That division of work is imperfect, however, when investors have questions about executive performance, compensation or other topics management isn't best suited to debate. "There are times when only a board member can represent a company credibly," says BlackRock's Ms. Edkins.

I'll be heading over to Raiders headquarters for the draft tonight, but a few thoughts about the 49ers' first-round situation as it stands...
Hey, this could be a little like 2009, when the Raiders took WR Darrius Heyward-Bey with the 7th pick and the 49ers then took WR Michael Crabtree with the 10th pick and we got to compare and debate the two for a long time -- or at least as long as DHB stuck around clanging easy passes for the Raiders.
Of course, 49ers fans had a little more to yell about with Crabtree, and still can yell about it now that Heyward-Bey is on to his third team.
The Raiders are at 5 (but may move down) and the 49ers are at 30 (and I think are likely to move up), so pending those parentheticals, who knows how this might go because I do believe each team is heading towards taking a WR with their first selections.
I wrote about the Raiders earlier and suggested that events could push GM Reggie McKenzie to select Texas A&M WR Mike Evans at 5... that is, if WR Sammy Watkins, DE Jadeveon Clowney and Khalil Mack are all taken before the Raiders' pick.
The Raiders could move down in this scenario, and that will be a huge part of what happens tonight.
Meanwhile, it definitely looks like the 49ers will try to move up to get a second-tier WR (somebody behind Watkins and Evans), and LSU's Odell Beckham Jr. is probably the best of that class.
I think Beckham fits exactly what the 49ers want in a young WR -- great hands, speed to run past people on the outside, productive enough to throw into the slot in a 3-WR set with Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin and could project to taking either one of the starters' places down the line.
Ideally, I think Beckham is the 49ers' realistic target. But how high would they have to go? At this point, I'm guessing they might have to get into the 10-12 range, and that might be too much—might cost an extra 2nd-rounder, and the 49ers don't like to burn that kind of pick.
In the same way, I think the 49ers would love to get a shot at Watkins or Evans, but that would take a jump into the top-10, and that's almost certainly too pricey for the 49ers—that would probably take them tossing in next year's No. 1 pick, and the 49ers just don't do things like that.
Or at least they haven't ever done things like that. It's just not who Trent Baalke is and what he believes in.
Believe me, the 49ers have looked at Atlanta's roster imbalance since the Falcons did a similar deal to move up to take WR Julio Jones in 2011 and the 49ers DO NOT see this as a sign that they should start burning future #1s.
It isn't just the pick itself that the 49ers cherish (because it could end up being in the 30s again), it's that when you keep your #1, you can always use it to package with another pick or two to move higher in the round... as the 49ers can do this year, holding #30.
Or like they did last year to move up to grab Eric Reid.
So I don't see a jump into the top 10, though we shall see with the always unpredictable Baalke. I just think he wants to keep his premium picks because the 49ers are going to have to start replacing some of their most expensive players soon...
Once that expected Colin Kaepernick mega-deal kicks in next year, the cap economics for this team change dramatically.
That leaves Beckham on the table, if the 49ers can move into the low teens. I see this as a strong possibility, but maybe Baalke and Jim Harbaugh think the price is getting too high even for a guy they really like.
Which could push them to consider alternatives in the 20s, which might cost them only a #3 or #4 instead of a #2 to move up... and that is an important distinction for the 49ers, especially in this draft.
If they go into the 20s, I'd think the target would either be Oregon State's Brandin Cooks or USC's Marqise Lee.
Lee is a size/speed guy and the 49ers love those guys. Lee could project to be a long-term starter for the 49ers, no doubt.
Cooks doesn't have the 49ers' preferred size for a WR, but he's an incredible play maker and definitely would give them something they don't have—an explosive, productive slot guy.
They could throw WR screens, they could put Cooks in the backfield and force mismatches, they could do all sorts of things they just haven't done much of in recent years.
But Cooks might not ever project to full-time status—he doesn't look like he'll be much of a run-blocker, so would WR coach John Morton play him more than 10-15 snaps a game?
The 49ers have had issues when Baalke has taken WRs who don't fit what Morton likes (and Harbaugh has sided with Morton), and that's how they ended up with the A.J. Jenkins debacle.
I think Baalke and Harbaugh will decide they want something different, if they can't get Watkins, Evans or Beckham. And they will count on the coaching staff to figure out how to get Cooks in there for 15 to 30 plays right away and to be seasoned and ready for a playoff game vs. Seattle.
That's where this is aiming and where it has to aim.
You don't beat Seattle's D by doing the same thing all the time and Harbaugh spoke to this earlier this off-season. The 49ers' offense needs to be different, and taking Cooks is one way to start that process... and he'd be a nice extra weapon for Kaepernick.
I'll guess they make a small jump and get Cooks... if they can't/don't move up to the teens to get Beckham.

With the age of the blockbuster drug passing, the business model for the biopharmaceutical industry is changing. The personalization of medicine, the emergence of biosimilars and biobetters, and the need to provide vaccines globally are just some of the factors forcing biomanufacturers to rethink how future manufacturing capability is implemented. One thing is clear—the traditional manufacturing strategy of building large-scale, purpose built, capital-intensive facilities is not going to meet the industry's emerging production and economic requirements.
Single-use technologies have the potential for helping companies execute their developing strategies for flexible manufacturing. The adoption of disposables continues to increase year over year and is already established in many process steps within the industry. The benefits of single-use technologies, such as reduced cleaning and validation, reduced downtime, and reduced equipment footprint, are well recognized and continue to drive the development of new and innovative products. Over the past decade, manufacturers have witnessed the progression from disposable encapsulated filters and tubing sets for small-scale production to today's 2000-L bioreactors and 2500-L single-use mixing systems in licensed biomanufacturing processes.
A fundamental change in the way biopharmaceutical facilities are designed and constructed is required. The pressure to reduce facility-investment costs and the cost of goods manufactured is a primary driver in the paradigm shift occurring in industry's approach to facility design (1). Innovation is required to design facilities that are more flexible, more rapid to construct, less capital-intensive, and can be repurposed as product requirements change. The new facilities must be of high quality and rapidly reach compliance after construction. New facility concepts and products from suppliers are beginning to emerge that anticipate the unmet needs of the biopharmaceutical industry, as are the expertise and innovative thinking to meet the challenge.This article discusses how a single-use manufacturing process for a monoclonal antibody (mAb) can be integrated into self-contained modular cleanroom systems, such that a total "out-of-the-box" solution for manufacturing capability can be realized. Overviews of both the process and facility elements considered as well as the related advancements and enabling technologies now available are provided.
A conceptual integrated design is presented that can be used as a blueprint for the next generation of biomanufacturing facilities. The benefits of this approach with respect to flexibility, cost, and schedule are discussed. The concept presented here can be applied to other biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes and facilities, including, but not limited to, vaccine manufacturing, multiproduct/multiprocess capability, and clinical manufacturing.
The development of technology platforms is an approach that is becoming more prevalent within industry today. The ability to use platforms to standardize upstream and downstream biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes as well as analytical methods has the potential to significantly reduce the time and costs associated with bringing a product from development to commercialization. Platform cell lines and expression systems have been successfully implemented in upstream processes by a number of biomanufacturers. Companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb are developing antibodies and other molecules by applying platform-based approaches (2).
The standardization of processes logically drives the standardization of process equipment and technologies. An equipment technology platform can, therefore, be engineered for a process and used as a basis of design for similar molecule types, such as mAbs. This template provides a starting point that can save significant time and effort during the engineering and operational design phases in the product lifecycle. Implementation of single-use technologies within a platform can further reduce the project timeline for establishing manufacturing capability.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: CUMMINGS, STEVEN R.
Project Title: Folic Acid and B Vitamins to Prevent Fracture in Women
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Osteoporotic fractures are a leading cause of disability in older adults, and a major contributor to medical care costs around the world. Prospective studies have found that women with elevated plasma homocysteine have a substantially increased risk of osteoporotic fractures, including hip fractures. The next step is to test whether lowering homocysteine levels will reduce the risk of fractures. We propose to use an ongoing randomized trial to test the hypothesis that reducing plasma homocysteine levels by dietary supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 will reduce the risk of non- spine fractures in women. The Antioxidant Therapy in Women (Women's Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study [WACS]) Trial, funded by NHLBI, is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene) and B vitamins (folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12) for the prevention of cardiovascular events among female health professionals aged more than or equal to 40 years at enrollment, who had either pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) or greater than or equal to 3 coronary risk factors. Our proposed study, Folic Acid & B Vitamins to Prevent Fractures in Women, will validate and classify fractures that were reported by women in the folic acid/vitamin B6/vitamin B12 arm of WACS. We conservatively project that about 700 non-spine fractures will be validated among 5,442 women during 7.4 years of treatment, providing sufficient power to detect a 19% overall reduction in fracture risk. Utilizing existing archived specimens, we will perform a nested case-cohort study to test whether the effects of treatment with folic acid and B vitamins on risk of non-spine fracture depends on baseline plasma levels of homocysteine, or alternatively by levels of folate or vitamin B12. Studies have found that homocysteine increases the risk of fracture by means besides influencing bone density. Thus, we will use archived plasma to test the hypothesis that treatment with folic acid and B- vitamins influences fracture risk by changing the rate of bone turnover. We will measure change in plasma levels of markers of bone formation (P1NP) and bone resorption (CTX) and explore whether changes in turnover may account for effects of the dietary supplementation on risk of fracture. The proposed study is a cost-effective approach to determining whether a safe and inexpensive nutritional intervention substantially reduces the risk of fracture and to understanding the mechanism of this effect.

Apple's rolled out a new subscriptions platform with their usual penchant for surprise, and apparently it caught a lot of people off-guard. Some are even, shall we say, riled.
- Apple will provide a subscription and purchase infrastructure, for which it'll charge 30% per transaction. (This is the least objectionable part of the new platform.)
- You can't offer a lower price anywhere else on the web (Alarm bells should be going off about now)
- You can't link outside the app (e.g. to your website) in your app to allow "off-app purchases" (Yow!)
- And the kicker: you have to transition to the new payments process by Summer, or get booted off the App Store. (Apple's way … or the highway)
The obvious answer to this bit of control-freakery is to create an iOS-specific subscription plan. This way publishers can keep their iOS user base while a) not raising costs for non-iOS users and b) making very clear to iOS users that their choice of gadgetry will cost them not just at purchase time, but almost every time they pay for almost anything. And the reason for that is, well, Apple's greed1.
Let's consider Spotify. Note that Spotify already offers a PC-only subscription for £5/month.
- A Spotify Everywhere will cost £10/month and will not be sold on the iTunes App Store. You will be able to buy it on their website and on other proprietary platforms if allowed. You will not be able to listen to songs on iOS devices using this plan, but you will be able to listen on the PC, Mac, Android, Blackberry, WP7, etc. This is very similar to Spotify's current £10/month plan, which of course includes iOS devices.
- A hypothetical "Spotify Everywhere with Apple Devices" plan will cost £13/month (£10 + Apple's 30% cut) and will be sold on the iTunes App Store and on the Web. With this you can listen to songs on PC, Mac, Android, Blackberry, WP7, etc and iOS devices.
I believe this neatly gets around the requirement that you cannot offer a lower price elsewhere on the web. The implicit assumption here is that the lower price cannot be for a "like" product. A subscription plan that excludes iOS devices is clearly not "like" one that includes iOS devices and therefore could be cheaper.
Of course, if an app developer believes there's enough sales from the App Store channel to justify it, they can keep their iOS-only subscription plans at the same price level (or even cheaper) than the other plans. The important thing is that content providers will have some say in the matter. Whether they actually do so and increase the number of products they offer (potentially increasing user confusion) is another story.
I'd love to hear comments and reactions to this idea. I'm very aware that increasing the number of available subscription types is a suboptimal solution, and I'd love to find out what, if any, the alternatives are.
Footnote. 1 There is no technical or user-experience reason that a link (a link!) to the content provider's website is now verboten. As for all the Apple fans blithely commenting that they'd rather trust Apple than content providers; well, that's sweet of you but others might not agree. For myself, I'd trust the Economist, the Guardian, the Independent et al more than Apple any day of the week.
