Whether you are interested in growth stock or steady income the management has unlocked shareholder value by this strategy. Keep them both and watch them grow !!!! The yield has doubled on Friday !!!!! Put that in your pipe and when the investing public finally understands the benefit buying will increase.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Dividend increased 6 %, not doubled.
On what do you predict ABBV as a growth stock? It is essentially a single-product pharma, and the time line for discovery and development of new products is 10-20 years. Blockbuster pharma products are becoming quite rare. The only way for ABBV to be a growth stock is for it to grow its profits. How do you see that happening?

I'm having exaclty the same problem.

(but the same code has runned 30 times in a loop before without failing)
This code runs in JBoss3.2.5 and I'm sure no one else is using the pooled connexion at the same time.
After this error has occured once, all access to the connexion fail, and I'm forced to flush the pool to get rid of the malfunctioning connextion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Code Completion for Lang Attribute in XHTML Files
By Geertjan-Oracle on Dec 30, 2012
Olivier Schmitt from the French Ministry of Agriculture published a brilliant article and sample code in his (French) blog recently:
The source code:
The result is code completion for the "lang" attribute in text/xhtml files:
Source structure, take note of the CSV file, which is a cool way to get the code completion words:
I'm thinking of making the ultimate generic solution on top of Oliver's code: a new @CompletionRegistration annotation, that takes a MIME type, content (i.e., a list of completion words), and a condition (e.g., "lang" attribute). Then, at compile time, the layer entries are generated and mapped to Oliver's code. The @CompletionRegistration annotation would not be set on a class, but within the package-info.java class, i.e., similar to how file templates can now be registered via @TemplateRegistration. In other words, nothing at all would need to be implemented or extended, no API, nothing at all; instead, you'd register some info via the annotation and then everything else would be generated for you and you could immediately begin using your newly mapped completion provider.

U.S. Stocks Gain on Economy Data as Oil Drops on Output
U.S. stocks rose, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index up for a third day, as data showed better-than-forecast growth in jobs and service industries. Oil sank after American production climbed to the highest since 1996. The dollar gained and Treasuries were little changed.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index climbed 0.4 percent to close at 1,450.99 at 4 p.m. in New York, paring a gain of 0.6 percent as declines in energy producers and Hewlett-Packard Co. weighed on the market. Ten-year Treasury yields were little changed at 1.61 percent after falling two basis points earlier. The S&P GSCI gauge of 24 raw materials dropped 2.3 percent, the most since July, as oil and natural gas tumbled at least 3.9 percent. The dollar appreciated against 14 of 16 major peers.
S&P 500 futures turned higher before the open of exchanges in New York after ADP Employer Services said companies added 162,000 jobs last month, topping the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg for a 140,000 increase. Service industries in the U.S. expanded by the most in six months, another report showed. Futures and European stocks slipped earlier as a report showed Chinese services industries expanded at the weakest pace since at least March 2011.
"There has been an ongoing tug of war as to whether or not the liquidity coming into the markets can counteract perhaps weaker earnings," Quincy Krosby, a market strategist for Newark, New Jersey-based Prudential Financial, which oversees $943 billion, said by phone. While today's data "are positive underpinnings for the market," she said, the range-bound trading "will continue until investors feel comfortable enough to go in with longer positions in the equity market. Market participants are still worried about the economy."
Jobs Data
The ADP data comes two days before a government jobs report that economists forecast will show the nation added 115,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate increased to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent. Profits at S&P 500 companies are projected to have dropped 2 percent in the third quarter, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Alcoa Inc. is scheduled to mark the unofficial start of the earnings season when it reports results on Oct. 9.
The S&P 500 is down 1 percent from an almost five-year high set on Sept. 14, trimming a drop of as much as 2.2 percent. Gauges of telephone, consumer-discretionary and financial shares led gains in eight of the 10 main industry groups in the S&P 500 today.
Market Movers
Best Buy Co. jumped 4.7 percent on a Reuters report the retailer's founder and buyout firms are scrutinizing the company's finances. Monsanto Co. fell 2.2 percent as the world's largest seed company forecast 2013 earnings below analyst estimates. Hewlett-Packard Co. tumbled 13 percent as Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman projected a profit decline for fiscal 2013 as a turnaround effort at the struggling computer maker takes longer than expected.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 0.1 percent after slumping 0.5 percent earlier. The volume of shares changing hands in the index's companies was 17 percent less than the 30-day average, before a meeting of European Central Bank policy makers tomorrow, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
FirstGroup Plc plunged 21 percent, the most on record, after the U.K. rail operator was stripped of the right to operate West Coast trains from London to Scotland. EasyJet Plc climbed 3.5 percent as Europe's second-biggest discount airline said full-year earnings beat its forecasts.
Oil declined 4.1 percent to $88.14 a barrel after a government report showed that U.S. crude output climbed to the highest level in more than 15 years and fuel consumption decreased. Natural gas lost 3.9 percent, the most in seven weeks, on forecast of moderating temperatures. Gasoline dropped 2.4 percent as 18 of 24 commodities tracked by the S&P GSCI retreated.
Emerging Markets
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell 0.4 percent, declining for the first time in five days. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index slid as much as 0.4 percent, the most in a week, before paring its loss to less than 0.1 percent. Financial markets in China and South Korea were closed.
China's purchasing managers' index fell to 53.7 in September from 56.3 in August, according to the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.
Australia's dollar declined for a fourth straight day as the nation recorded its widest trade deficit since 2008 in August. It dropped to as low as $1.0196, the weakest level since Sept. 6.
South Africa's rand depreciated 0.8 percent against the dollar on rising expectations the central bank will cut interest rates to stimulate growth. The dollar strengthened against 14 of 16 major currencies, up 0.1 percent at $1.2903 per euro and 0.5 percent higher at 78.52 yen.
European Yields
Yields on 10-year Italian government bonds increased one basis point to 5.04 percent, after earlier slipping below 5 percent. The rate on similar-maturity Spanish securities added six basis points to 5.81 percent.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said yesterday he has no plans to request rescue funds in the near term, defying market speculation that the nation would ask for a bailout which would pave the way for the ECB to buy its debt.
There's "ongoing uncertainty about the timing of Spain's formal request for an official program and concerns about global growth," Barclays Plc's head of European currency strategy, Guillermo Felices, wrote in a report to investors. "We remain constructive on risky assets, but think better news is needed on both fronts for the rally to regain momentum."
The cost of insuring European corporate and sovereign debt using credit-default swaps fell for a third day, to the lowest levels in more than a week. The Markit iTraxx Crossover Index of swaps on 50 mostly junk-rated companies declined eight basis points to 549.
Portuguese debt agency IGCP bought 3.76 billion euros ($4.9 billion) of bonds due next year in exchange for securities due in 2015 as the nation takes steps to return to international credit markets.

With one last pre-season game on the schedule, time is running out for Calgary Flames hopefuls to make an impact on coach Bob Hartley and the management staff.
As Hartley puts it, tonight's game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Scotiabank Saddledome is the final exam.
"Being a professional, you have to be the best you can be and show your abilities and come in with good working habits and playing a good game," Hartley said. "For Sven (Baertschi), for Corban Knight, for (Sean) Monahan, for all those kids playing, it's the same rule."
As much as the game against the Coyotes is a final showcase for the kids, it's about setting a tone and developing a winning attitude, too.
"We're playing, we're coaching to win," Hartley said. "Obviously we're still working parts of our game which is perfectly normal, but we're just a few days away from the season opener. We're playing this like a real game. We'll coach this like a real game. We want the players to come in with the same mind set we had against the (New York) Rangers the other night."
Knight has heard Hartley's 'final exam' comment.
He feels he's well prepared for the test.
"He's used that phrase a couple times," Knight said. "The fact that this is the last exhibition game, the last chance to show management and the coaching staff that you belong here. It's definitely a little nerve-wracking but it's exciting. You've trained your whole life for this moment and you're going to have 60 minutes to try to prove it.
"It's exciting. It'll be an exciting game out there tonight."
Knight feels he's come a long way since playing just a handful of minutes in his exhibition debut against the Edmonton Oilers and has used each game as a learning experience in preparation of Hartley's final.
"It's been one of those things where it is an eye-opening experience just seeing how high the level is here and how hard guys push each other and how good guys are," he said. "You watch NHL on TV for years and it doesn't really do it justice how good guys are. To be here, being with these guys every day, it's pushed me to try to be better."
Knight's opportunity down the middle with force pivot Mikael Backlund to the left wing on a line with Sean Monahan and David Jones against Phoenix.
"We have an overload of centres so I sat with Backs and I told him I wanted him to play and at the same time, I think it's a great experience for Backs because he probably never played left wing," Hartley said. "Now he's going to be on the wing."
Backlund, who played the left side in Sweden during the work stoppage, is curious to see how he'll fare at the position against NHL competition.
"I played left during the lockout so it's a little familiar but it's different," he said. "I haven't done it on a small rink since I can't remember when. It will be fun."
Hartley made sure Backlund knew it wasn't an audition and that he'll be returning to his more familiar spot down the middle soon.
"We had a good talk about it so I understand why he wants to do it," Backlund said. "I'm excited to try it and it'll be a good challenge tonight."
When it comes to the hybrid icing debate, count Hartley on the side that likes the change. He understands why there could be some opposition to it, though.
"I like it but it's like anything," he said. "Any changes you want to bring into a hockey game or in society, the normal human reaction is right away 'we don't like it'.
"If the hybrid icing saves one injury this year, it's worth it."
The rule was implemented at the AHL level last season with the intention of studying the rule before potentially implementing it at the NHL level. The initial reaction at the minor league level wasn't positive but soon grew on coaches, explained Hartley.
"Last year I was talking to some American Hockey League coaches," he said. "For the first two weeks, they hated it. Then by Christmas, everyone loved it."
TJ Brodie said it doesn't take long to adapt.
"It's not that hard to get used to defensively," he said. "No matter what, you've got to skate back for the puck.
The bigger change for Brodie comes on the other side of the puck.
Always looking to create offense, the defenceman said hybrid icing can sometimes limit his options.
"I think I found offensively, sometimes there's times where you might ice it but your guy is going to get to it first," he said. "Since the D is a little bit further back they'll blow it down where before it might rim around the boards and end up going to your forward (on the other side).
"Offensively, it might prevent a couple of waved off icings but defensively it's pretty much the same, just turn around and skate and try to get to the puck as fast as you can."
Brodie isn't sure where he sits on the decision to switch from touch icing to the hybrid format.
"Really it doesn't make a whole big difference to me," he said.

an "Idle" mind is ... sometimes, a good thing
By John Morrison on Oct 28, 2007
The oft repeated cliché says that an idle mind is the devil's workshop and to avoid this most folks tend to engage themselves in the business of busy-ness a.k.a. being busy or engaged in a myriad pursuits that consume all or most of the time at their disposal. We live in times that tend to look up to folks that appear the most busy and have hectic schedules and calendars choc-a-block with appointments while frowning upon those who seem to lead ... relatively quieter lives.
Why would an entire ... or at-least a major part of our societies today, be engaged in the pursuit of busyness ? Could it be - the fear of obsolescence what with the constant changes everywhere, the need to keep-in-step with the times, "avoidance syndrome" (the inability to face or confront ... personal problems, fears / inadequacies ...), the need to constantly prove oneself / one's value, keeping up with the Joneses (this could be when almost everyone else at your level has a tightly packed schedule and is running around seemingly busy and you have relatively fewer appointments and a less stressed lifestyle ... you tend to give into popular thinking that there's probably something wrong with you or "am i missing something" by not being as busy as everyone else ?!) ... there could be various such and other reasons ... of course, not everyone's busy due to these reasons, there are folks who surely are busy due to circumstances not fully in their control ! But for the vast majority that's running around ... it probably might make sense to .. at times ...give in to having an "idle" mind every once in a while ... I would call it - a mind that's uncluttered, relaxed and in touch with your inner voice ... a mind that takes time to step off the fast-paced (rat) race-track to value moments of quiet solitude, a mind that spends time in some almost forgotten pursuits of reflection, meditation and quiet introspection. If for nothing else, an "idle" mind can help refocus, gain more clarity, rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit whilst touching base with that small still voice within which is oftentimes ignored and not heard amidst the louder noises on the race track ... the deeper voice within yourself also termed the inner voice ... the experience of trying to see who you are, what your goals are, what you want out of life ... the meanings you seek ... rather than merely resonating with the vibrations of busyness for the sake of not being idle ... whence you end up leading a life that's not lived on purpose but more akin to a log of wood adrift on the currents of the ocean knowing not which direction the winds and currents will connive to lead it ...
Continuing from an earlier post about the importance of passion, a mind that engages in silent contemplation and meaningful introspection finds itself tuned-in to its own inner purpose and finds a deeper understanding of the meaning of one's life and passion – just the right bunch of ingredients for a more fulfilling, meaning-filled and purposeful living ...
Signing off this post with an Innerspace quote ... "Only when we find the quietness in our own minds can we begin to hear our inner teacher, so that we may receive some in-tuition. Only when we are ready to recognise and value the wisdom that we carry at the core of our being will we turn our attention inwards and 'listen in'. But it's been a long time since we truly listened, so a little practice and patience will be needed. Sit down, be quiet and listen in at some point today and you might be surprised at what you hear. Then do it again tomorrow. All you need to do is remember that you are the listener and not the noise."

We've come over all flowery on this issue of Stitch. Not only is our cover positively blooming with colour but the pages are bursting with floral loveliness too. As I look out of my office window at a grey July day, I'm glad Stitch is full of summer sunshine, even if my garden is not!
We are not the only flower fans - our beautiful sampler project on page 14 is inspired by the flowers loved by William Shakespeare, whose 400th birthday is being celebrated this year. One of my favourite Shakespeare plays has to be A Midsummer Night's Dream, where Oberon's speech "I know a bank where the wild thyme glows, where oxlips and the nodding violet grows..." describes flowers so beautifully you can almost smell their scent as you hear it.
For something a little more up-to-date, have a go at stitching the extremely colourful flower cushion on page 46 (our cover star!). We fell in love with Joanne Sharpe's design as soon as we saw her new book The Art of Whimsical Stitching and are itching to get our paintbrushes out to start on this multi-media stitching project. And the treats for your home don't end there - Jo Fagent's elegant flower hoop embroidery on page 21 is a little less "bling" but no less beautiful, and perfect to hang as part of a group on your wall. I've never embellished with yarn before but the textures Jo has created are wonderful so I'll definitely be trying it soon
The floral theme this issue extends right to the back page with the launch of our brand new Stitch Readers Gallery. Each issue we'll be picking a theme and asking you, the readers, to send in your stitching masterpiece to show off. This issue's theme is, of course, "Flower Power!" and we've been inundated with photos of your work. What a talented lot you are! The theme for the next issue is "Autumn Colours" so we're looking forward to seeing lots of reds, browns, oranges and yellows in our inbox! For more details see page 66.
I do hope you enjoy reading this issue of Stitch as much as we have enjoyed putting it together. I'm off to smell the roses. See you in October!

Bright and Beautiful
Mixing watercolours and free motion embroidery creates a vibrant result in this stunning "Flower Pop" cushion. Joanne Sharpe, mixed media textile artist and author of The Art of Whimsical Stitching, shows us how it's done. Joanne says "What I call colouring blocks are all the compartments, shapes and spaces created as you "draw" with your sewing machine using free motion embroidery. You can then colour these shapes in with markers, fabric paints, dyes and other media. I recommend threading your sewing machine with a 50-weight cotton or polyester thread. I like to use a poly-blend thread as it's stronger - it creates little less breakage as you stitch.
Joanne is a mixed media artist, textile designer and teacher from New York. She explores the colour and fun of stitch through her books, workshops and online classes. To find out more about Joanne and her work visit www.joannesharpe.com
The Bard's Blooms
We couldnt let 2016 pass without joining in William Shakespeare's 400th birthday celebrations. And what better way than with this gorgeous sampler featuring blooms found in the gardens, fields and hedgerows of Shakespeare's time, designed by the queen of stumpwork, Jane Nicholas. We start this two-part series with a stumpwork grapevine and delicate sweet briar.
Jane Nicholas is recognised internationally as being at the forefront of modern designers interpreting stumpwork, having researched and stitched in the medium for over 20 years. She teaches in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, has been awarded a Churchill Fellowship to further her studies in stumpwork in the UK and in 2005 was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for her "services to hand embroidery as an artist, teacher and author". To find out more about Jane and her work visit www.janenicholas.com.
The Art of Kogin
Simple but effective, Japanese Kogin stitching is a technique full of history and tradition. Inspired by her travels in the Far East, embroiderer Liz Almond has created this stylish workbag from one of her Kogin designs.
"Country Kogin" is a Japanese-style darning sampler with thirty different pattern variations created to fit into or around a diamond shape. It was an experiment to see how working within a defined shape could be explored. Kogin embroidery is a heavy form of pattern darning which originated in the Aomori Prefecture of Northern Japan.
Liz Almond has been an embroiderer and tutor for many years, specialising in blackwork, whitework and counted thread techniques. She has travelled extensively throughout the Middle and Far East and uses her travels as inspiration for her designs. Liz's website www.blackworkjourney.co.uk is full of projects, designs, advice and charts to buy and download.
A Wildflower Purse
This pretty wildflower motif by talented Dutch designer Ilke Cochrane would add a touch of elegance to any project. Add it to a plain felt purse for a chic and unique addition to your wardrobe.
Ilke is a Dutch ex-pat living in the UK and is the embroidery designer behind the wonderfully named Mabel Figworthy's Fancies. She specialises in Hardanger but is a fan of all stitching techniques, describing her style as "traditional with a twist". For more information on Ilke, her stitching kits and workshops, visit www.mabelfigworthy.co.uk.
The Quiet Revolutionary - Constance Howard (Stitching Icons Series)
Constance Howard MBE showed the world how exhilarating an art form embroidery can be. Her influence continues to reverberate through the work of today's textile artists, while her memory is a vibrant as her bright green hair. Deena Beverley looks back at her life and work.
"Given her predilection for a punk rock aesthetic in coiffure, and her encouragement of free expression in art, it's surprising to discover that Constance's liberated approach did not fully extend to the way she taught embroidery".
Memory Cloths - Part 3
In the final part of our memory cloth series, Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn take a trip to the coast for inspiration. Jan and Jean are internationally renowned textile artists, authors and tutors. Their latest book Memory Cloths delves into the past to highlight particular images and places that could become a starting point for developing a theme and inspiring a body of work. For more information and to order copies of the book visit www.doubletrouble-ent.com.
Jan and Jean's exhibition celebrating 25 years of writing together will be at the Knitting & Stitching Shows - Alexandra Palace, London 5th - 9th October, Dublin 20th - 23rd October and Harrogate 24th - 27th November 2016.
Ripping Yarns
Designer Joanna Fagents uses wools to give her embroidery a modern, textural feel. This chic flower design uses bullion knots and french knots to stunning effect. This flower design looks modern and chic when one colour is used and gives depths of texture. However you can create a very different hoop simply by using differrent colours or by using varied shades of the same tone colour, which works wonderfully well. Use your own design to transfer to the fabric using a light box to trace it or hold it up to the window to use natural light.
Designer Jo Fagents has worked extensively in the fashion industry but her passion for embroidery has always been at the forefront. She recently took the plunge and launched her own embroidery company specialising in stylish and modern hoop works. Sew and Saunders which you will find on Etsy.
From Sketch to Stitch
Carol Arnott has seen her textile impressions of local Scottish fishing villages sell all over the world. She tells us how she created one of her favourites, Arbroath Harbour.

The serious problem of gonorrheal vaginitis in children has been brought nearer to solution by the ingenious application of a safe and efficient method of treatment, demonstrated by Robert M. Lewis. We are of the opinion that this new radical treatment may convert what was formerly a serious social and economic problem into a mild and controlled medical syndrome.
Edgar Allen in 1928 clearly demonstrated that after the injection of 1,005 rat units of ovarian hormone into immature female monkeys, over a period of twenty-one days, there was a definite increase in the number of epithelial layers of the vagina to thirty, as compared to from four to eight layers in the control animal. Associated with these changes, the vaginal smears showed an increased number of partly or completely cornified epithelial cells. Allen further showed that involution of the vaginal structures occurred several weeks subsequent to the cessation of the

Cleaning da Gear pt2
Once the glass is cleaned, ya gotta do the camera body and CCD. Here's my approach. Follow these instructions at your own risk. One other thing that I forgot to mention in the video, after you get done cleaning the exterior of your camera body, be sure to check all your settings. For example, I typically hit the metering lever on the prism and change it out of Matrix so I always check it after cleaning. (this is a 105MB Flv video)

Indium Corporation hosted 45 students and teachers from Herkimer BOCES on Oct. 8 as part of their celebration of National Manufacturing Day.
Students toured Indium Corporation's advanced manufacturing facility in the Utica Business Park.
The tour exposed students to the skills required to take advantage of career opportunities in advanced manufacturing in the Mohawk Valley, according to a news release.
The tour emphasized five key components of a high-performance manufacturing organization — the skills, aptitudes, and abilities of a diverse workforce, the importance of accurately addressing customers' needs, the transformation of raw materials to finished goods, the role of advanced manufacturing in the global market and how processes optimize efficiencies, effectiveness, customer satisfaction and profits, according to the release.
Students observed manufacturing processes and cleanrooms. They also enjoyed a hands-on technology experience involving Indium's patented nanotechnology material, NanoFoil, according to the release.
Indium will continue promoting manufacturing and education and career opportunities through its classroom speakers' bureau. Through Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES and Herkimer BOCES, Indium will provide classroom speakers to area schools. Speakers will talk to students about the importance of a STEM education for careers in advanced manufacturing. Each speaker will focus on the various skill sets needed to support a manufacturing facility, and the importance of each to the success of the company and the student. Career discussions will focus on engineering and technology, human resources, marketing and communications, accounting, information technology and safety and environmental.
National Manufacturing Day is designed to expand a community's knowledge about, and enhance peoples' awareness of, manufacturing careers and their value to the local, regional and national economy, according to the release.

Evaluation of Three Serological Tests Manufactured in Belarus for the Diagnosis of Syphilis
doi: 10.2340/00015555-1056
The performance of three serological tests manufactured in Belarus for the diagnosis of syphilis, i.e. a microprecipitation reaction (MPR) and two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were compared with internationally recognized assays, namely the rapid plasma reagin test and the Treponema pallidum passive particle agglutination assay (TPPA). Sera from 392 consecutive patients attending Brest (Belarus) regional dermatovenereological dispensaries were tested. The sensitivity of the MPR test was low (77.3%) compared with the rapid plasma reagin test, while the specificity was high (100%). In contrast, both Belarusian ELISAs performed well when compared with the TPPA (sensitivities of 99.2% and 100%, specificities of 98.7% and 99.0%, respectively). There is a clear need to improve the sensitivity of the existing Belarusian MPR test or to use a more sensitive screening test in order to improve diagnosis of the disease in Belarus.

I thought I read that ash can be used in compost. I'm not sure what type of ash though. I kind of think adding BBQ/charcoal ash wouldn't be too healthy. Any thoughts or experiences?

Ashes in compost????Tags: None
I have some thoughts and experiences, but I don't know if they are mainstream...
I would say don't use ash from charcoal briquettes, but that real charcoal from real wood (made by burning small chunks of wood slowly at very low oxygen levels) would make a suitable ash. I use ash from hardwood fires (from my woodstove) occasionally and in small amounts in the compost, for its mineral content. I would think that the pH level is a bit high to use it routinely in the compost, for the sake of the microbes that are at work there.
I would also have thought that the pH is too high for the comfort of Earthworms, but I find them thriving under the layer of ash in the firepit when I clean it out.
I use ash from my wood-burning fireplace (we burn real wood) in both compost pile and in garden beds (beets and cababges love higher pH, and thrive in the soil with ash added). I make sure I do not pile it up, but sprinkle it eavenly and work it into the soil.
I also add a little bit of it into my home-made soil mixes, with great success.
Do not ask me how much I add, as I never measure. . But I use up all my fireplace produces over the winter...
i remember reading somewhere, don't remember where, that residue from the bb
Back when we used a wood burning boiler I would empty ashes directly onto the garden or in the compost bins, depending on the time of year. Now I just put ashes from leaves we've burned into the compost bins, covering with other material so that they don't blow away.
Every manual I've read also suggests that wood ash should be reserved for situations when you want to raise the pH of a site: when soil's too acid, or the compost pile is, wood ashes will make them more alkaline.
But if something's already too alkaline, then wood ashes would seem to be coals to Newcastle, if you get my meaning.
This book advice, however, seems to contradict the practical experiences given above, as well as the millenia-old record of "slash and burn agriculture", where peoples from Siberia to Brazil have burned down forests in controlled burns and then planted in the ashes.
Can anyone square that circle for me?
I guess, two things: 1) in Siberia, at least, and Northern Russia soils start out a bit acid and lacking in nutrients. Ashes, which have lots of potassium, also deal with the acidity part.
2) I guess the basic point of slash and burn isn't so much that it makes the soil fertile (though most historians, as opposed to garden book writers, say it does) but that fire saves a tremendous amount of labor in creating clearings for agriculture. No tree cutting, no brush clearing, no weeding.
So that even if the soil isn't that good, these practitioners of extensive rather than intensive agriculture can plant for a couple years and move on to find a new plot, without worrying about where the labor will come from to clear it. It's a strategy for endless land, in other words (though as we're learning in the rain forests, endless is not as endless as it might seem to any one individual).
One addition: upon reflection it occured to me that while the technique of burning the forest to clear land is similar, the current destruction of the rain forest in Brazil isn't quite the same as traditional "slash and burn" agriculture, in that the land used in Brazil (I believe) is then cultivated intensively, that is, once it's taken away from the rain forest eco system, it never goes back. Whereas traditional slash and burn really was based on a limited cycle of agricultural use, before the people went on to another site.
Sorry for going on, thinking out loud.
Misinformation seems to abound on this topic. Ashes should be used in your compost only if you have soil which is compatible to them. That is, if your soil is acidic to the point where adding them will not create an alkaline situation, then go for it. But also be mindful of what you plan to plant. One size does not fit all when soil pH and plants are concerned.
Incidentally, beets and cabbages prefer acidic soil in the 5.6 to 6.6 range. A handy reference chart is at:
Cabbages prefer acidic soil????If I plant cabbages in my loamy acidic soil, I get no cabbages at all, and I don't even mention club root. If I plant onions without adding something alcalic, chances are high they will develop some sort of white rot, so I have a bit of doubt concerning this reference chart ,

Other than the reason stated above on why it is not a good idea to use coal ash in compost or directly on the garden, coal ash, no matter the type, contains harmful heavy metals and other chemicals. The by-products of burning coal include arsenic, lead, boron, cadmium, thallium and mercury. Other chemicals include aluminas, silicas and traces of other stuff.
I worked for a company that had huge coal burning boilers and they did lots of studies on the properties of coal ash (fly ash and bottom ash) and where it could and could not be used and where it should and should not be disposed of. The one place it should not be used is anywhere where food products would be grown because plants will soak up those chemicals like a sponge. All the junk left over after the carbon is burned tends to be carcinogenic if ingested. We wore masks when we handled ash.
Another place it could not be disposed of was where it may get into the water supply for the same reasons.
I don't know about charcoal. Wood ash on the other hand is safe to use on compost piles and gardens if your soil is compatible.

This is just a question.
I have heard fishes can have toxic chemicals, but I have not heard vegetables containing mercury, lead, etc. Did I miss something?
I think after re-reading my statement, I was not very clear. I think the danger from the toxic material would not come from the ingestion of the fruit or vegetables, but from incidental ingestion of the heavy metals and toxics that may be on the plant especially edible roots not washed thoroughly, or from handling the toxic compost. How much would it take? I have no idea. How long would it take to get sick? I have no idea. Arsenic and lead and some of the others just are not something I would want to take a chance on.
Can those cancer causing chemicals be absorbed into the body through the skin, or the dust breathed into the lungs be as dangerous as ingestion? I'm not sure I remember that part. I hope not because I handled both fly ash and bottom ash on a daily basis for seven years.

Odds that this is a 10% correction (and not just 5%) rise as tech stocks sink
About a week ago, on January 22, I wrote a post called "So far this looks like just a correction" http://jubakpicks.com/2010/01/22/so-far-this-looks-like-just-a-correction/
I noted that the rally that began in March had been dotted with 5% corrections, but that we hadn't had a good, hard 10% correction while it ran. This time, I wrote, the odds were that this correction was going to be of the 10% variety.
I think that's even more certain today.
We started the week with two relatively weak up days—24 points up on the Dow Jones Industrial Average on January 25 and 42 points to the good on January 27—separated by a day, January 26, with a tiny 3 point decline, the U.S. market looks like it's setting itself up for a continued decline.
What we're seeing today, January 28, is a rotation away from risk and into safer sectors. Money is moving out of technology stocks—not surprising after disappointing results from Qualcomm (QCOM) and Motorola (MOT), basic materials and commodities (not surprising given the worry about China), and financials and into defensive sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples.
That's a typical rotation when investors are expecting a further decline in the stock market. Such a rotation tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy: the sectors now being sold are precisely those that investors use as a barometer of market direction.
Technology stocks down, they say, for example, means that the market is going down and so we should sell technology shares. Which, of course, leads technology stocks to fall some more. Which motivates further selling.
I think a turnaround will need to begin with China and the emerging markets. A recovery there would shift investors' appetite for risk back toward the sectors that are falling now. (More on China, as promised, later today.)
I certainly wish that I'd held up on buying technology shares such as Intel (INTC) and Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) just before the correction (And boy, oh, boy, do I wish I'd sold Qualcomm before yesterdays stinko guidance), but I haven't seen anything to convince me that the fundamental story that says this is the beginning of a multi-year buying cycle for technology companies is wrong.
When I posted "When to buy" http://jubakpicks.com/2010/01/22/when-to-buy/von January 22 I said it was okay to nibble on anything down 5% but that the correction had longer to run.
I'd modify that to say that I'd be willing to nibble on anything down 8% or so, but I still believe this is just a correction and that it does indeed have longer to run.

Talk about a sweet victory. Mountain View boys volleyball coach M. Anthony Chen passed out candy to the Spartans' rowdy cheering section before Game 3 of the Northern California Division I semifinal Thursday night against Del Oro-Loomis.
The top-seeded Spartans completed the tasty sweep of the Golden Eagles 25-19, 27-25, 25-23 to advance to the final Saturday.
Mountain View (33-3) will meet St. Francis (29-6) at Dublin High at 7:30 p.m. in an all-Mountain View regional championship. It will be a rematch of the Central Coast Section final, which went five long sets before the Spartans prevailed.
"We feel fortunate to be in this position," Chen said. "This was a goal since last year. It's humbling, but we're excited to be going."
The Spartans had a gutsy rally in Game 2, coming back from a 23-18 deficit to win the set. Del Oro (19-14) had a 22-18 advantage in Game 3, but Mountain View turned it on to avoid a Game 4. Del Oro had a 6-foot-8 middle blocker in Connor Drake, who had 11 kills. Drake will play at UC Santa Barbara.
"It's the Final Four and everything is earned," Chen said. "They won their section. That says a lot."
Del Oro coach Levi Oates said his team did not play well.
"We didn't pass the ball," he said. "Mountain View has tough servers. Second and third games, we had leads after 20. We got conservative, and Mountain View stayed aggressive."
The Spartans had a tremendous match from outside hitter Jake Stuebner, who had a match-high 14 kills. With the Spartans trailing 22-20 in Game 3, Stuebner contorted his body for a tough save, keeping a rally alive. Stuebner's hit deep was ruled in, giving the important point to the Spartans.
Stuebner's searing kill gave Mountain View a 24-23 edge before a long hit by Del Oro ended the match.
"That felt pretty good," Stuebner said. "The match was exciting. It was fun. Some of us had an off night, but everyone picked each other up."
St. Francis wins
St. Francis will get one more shot at neighborhood rival Mountain View after sweeping Deer Valley in the semifinal round of the Northern California Division I boys volleyball playoffs.
"We're about a mile apart, and we've played them in Santa Barbara, and we've played them in San Jose. Now we're going to play them in Dublin," Lancers coach Michael Rubin said after the 25-22, 25-17, 25-18 victory.
It will be the Lancers' fourth shot at Mountain View after falling in five sets in the Central Coast Section final last week.
Matthew Larson's scoring block ended the first set, which marked the first time Deer Valley (40-3) had lost a set since a 2-1 loss to Clovis on April 26. It was the third scoring block of the set for Larson, who also had four kills. Steven Dineen had six of his match-high 15 kills in the first set for St. Francis (33-3).
"We played a team that clearly was the best team that we've played, and they made us look less skilled than we are," Deer Valley coach Lou Panzella said. "They made us look bad."
The Wolverines got 14 kills from Jordan Ewert, who Rubin said was Deer Valley's one known commodity. Bezhan Wahidi added 11 kills but the Wolverines could not get the same level of support that Dineen and Larson had.
Alexander Jimenez came off the bench and dropped down seven kills, and Cooper Diamond added six kills and four scoring blocks.
Deer Valley got within 20-19 in the second set when Jacob Brannon served up a couple of points, but the St. Francis front wall of Dineen, Larson and Cooper Diamond did not allow another offensive point in the set. An ace by Ewert, a kill from Wahidi and Brannon's block got the Wolverines to within 15-14 in the third set but the Lancers again shut the offense down the rest of the way.

Akron Polymer rides growth, plans new $3-million building
Thursday, July 01, 2010
Frank Harris, a professor emeritus of polymer science at the University of Akron, knows what it's like to be the bona fide poster child for the growing high-tech industry in Ohio. And he's OK with that.
He co-founded Akron Polymer Systems in 2005 (with Dr. Stephen Cheng, dean of the UA College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering) and the company has enjoyed steady growth since.
The company now says it's within a year of taking its polymer product — with uses in fuel cells, liquid-crystal displays and solar cells — to the market.
APS has attracted the attention of several companies, including Lockheed Martin, Kent Displays and solar powerhouse Xunlight.
And to think the company was this close to leaving Ohio.
"We were approached by the state of South Carolina, but we stayed, primarily because of the Third Frontier," says Harris. "South Carolina could offer us some incentives, but they couldn't come anywhere close to the help that the Third Frontier could offer us." APS has received about $350,000 in direct funding from the state program for fuel cell technology, but through subcontracts it has also been awarded more than $2 million for several other projects.
Harris says another benefit is that the company has been able to match Third Frontier funding with industry funding, something he calls the "doubling effect."
There are currently a dozen people employed with APS, but Harris says once a product is on the market within a year, there could be more than 25 positions added. In more good news for the company, APS has been approved for a $1.25 million loan to build a new $3 million facility in downtown Akron. Source: Frank Harris, Akron Polymer Systems

By PAMELA SAMPSON
The Associated Press
BANGKOK — The price of oil rose Monday after disappointing U.S. housing figures led to speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve might take a very gradual approach toward winding down its economic stimulus.
Benchmark oil for October delivery was up 9 cents to $106.51 a barrel at late afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The contract gained $1.39, or 1.4 percent, to close at $106.42 on Friday. Oil rose after the U.S. government said that Americans cut back sharply in July on purchases of new homes, a sign that higher mortgage rates may weigh on the housing recovery.
Traders apparently saw the weak data as an indication that the Fed may need to wait before slowing down its bond-buying program. A slower phase-out of the Federal Reserve's monetary stimulus could also keep the dollar weaker, making commodities that are traded in dollars more appealing to investors with other currencies.
However, analysts at Mizuho Bank Ltd. in Singapore said in a commentary said that while the data on new home sales was worrisome, it was "not a game-changer in its own right" and that data on existing home sales and evidence of a trend would probably carry more weight.
Brent crude, which sets prices for imported oil used by many U.S. refineries, fell 19 cents to $110.85 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Heating oil fell 1 cent to $3.09 per gallon.
— Natural gas added 6 cents to $3.541 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Wholesale gasoline was little changed at $2.865 per gallon.

Blackmore Club campsite enjoys a peaceful setting in the Worcestershire countryside with stunning views across to the Malvern Hills. It combines plenty of green open space with more sheltered pitches around the site perimeter. As well as clean, modern toilet blocks, the excellent on site facilities include a recreation room with pool table, dog walk and children's play area. One of the appeals of this award-wining site is its proximity to the Malvern Hills – an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ¬- which offers fantastic walking and cycling opportunities on over 100 miles of paths and bridleways. In fact, so popular is the area for walking, it hosts a nine-day walking festival. If you prefer walks of the not so challenging type, the pretty village of Hanley Swan, with a choice of two pubs, is just a mile's stroll from the site. If you want to travel a bit further afield but leave your vehicle behind, there's a bus stop just outside the site with an hourly service to Malvern, Upton and Worcester.Ready Camp is available at this campsite. (Please note that, although we welcome dogs on this site, in the interest of all guests we do not permit pets to stay within the Ready Camp tents). Worth Noting TV reception is poor in some areas of the Site. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local Great Malvern and Worcester regularly host farmers' markets. The Malvern area is also well-served by pubs and tea rooms serving local produce. Facilities Blackmore has the following facilities on or around the site.

Makes 1/2 ounce
Here's an old folk remedy for dry, chapped lips. You can find red clover blossoms at your natural food store, or possibly in your own garden. Its flowers yield a sweet, honey-like substance that has anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties.
• ½ tablespoon dried red clover flowers OR 1 tablespoon fresh flowers
• ¼ cup water
• ¼ teaspoon clover honey
• ⅛ teaspoon vitamin E oil
• ⅛ teaspoon cornstarch
In a small pan, bring clover, water and honey to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then strain liquid. Return liquid to pan and stir in oil and cornstarch, mixing well. Heat mixture until it forms a clear gel (about 1 to 2 minutes). Cool gel completely, stirring occasionally. Spoon into a clean container.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons have signed cornerback Robert Alford, a second-round pick from Southeastern Louisiana.Alford was the second of two cornerbacks selected by the Falcons in the draft. First-round pick Desmond Trufant remains unsigned.Alford had 10 interceptions and started 31 games at Southeastern Louisiana. He also returned punts and kickoffs in 2012, taking advantage of his 4.39 speed in the 40-yard dash. He impressed the Falcons with his performance against major college players in the Senior Bowl.

Free skin cancer screenings are being conducted by appointment only Thursday afternoon at the Scott County Health Center in Sikeston. Another skin cancer screening is scheduled for June 1 at the Center, and appointments are being made for both sessions.
"Early detection is the key," said Brenda Freed, public education officer for Scott County Health Center.
Cancer of the skin is the most common of all cancers.
Melanoma -- the rarest but most dangerous form of skin cancer -- accounts for about 4 percent of skin cancer cases, and it causes most skin cancer deaths, according to American Cancer Society. The number of new cases of melanoma in the United States is on the rise. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2006 there will be 62,190 new cases of melanoma in this country, and about 7,910 people will die of this disease.
When diagnosed early, melanoma can be cured.
Therefore, it's important for people to recognize any changes in their skin, and report them to their doctors.
Dr. Cully Bryant, who examines patients for Scott County's skin cancer screenings, recommended anyone who has a family history of skin cancer, has a job that requires them to be outdoors for lengthy periods, tans or has new or changing spots on the skin make an appointment to have their skin screened.
Once someone shows up for their appointment, Bryant said he will question them about any concerns they may have.
"And then I try to determine whether the concern is valid," Bryant said.
Bryant will get a general history of health/family history and brief exam of sun exposed areas and/or lesions on the skin although unexposed skin, such as finger nails and the space in between toes, can also contain cancerous spots.
Ethnicity also comes into play. According to the American Cancer Society, the risk of melanoma is about 10 times higher for whites than African Americans because of the protective effect of skin pigment. Whites with fair skin that freckles or burns easily are at especially high risk.
People with excessive exposure to light from tanning lamps, booths or sunlight are at greater risk of skin cancer as well as those who've had severe, blistering sunburns particularly in his or her childhood or teen years.
People who have the highest risk of melanoma have many moles, irregular moles or large moles. Those with blood relatives who have had melanoma or who have previously had melanoma themselves are also at a high risk.
"Then I look at their skin," Bryant said, adding the extent of the exam is based on the patient's comfort level.
Freed pointed out the examinations at the health center are only screenings. "If the doctor is suspicious or something is questionable, then he will refer them to a physician," Freed said.
Those who attend the screenings are primarily the elderly, Bryant said.
"There's almost no young people (who attend), and it's disappointing because many of them are tanning and doing the inappropriate things that put them at a higher risk for sun cancer," Bryant said.
This is the third year Scott County is offering the screenings provided through a Southeast Missouri Cancer Coalition grant. Health centers in Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Stoddard, Butler and Dunklin counties are also conducting screenings.
But for the first time, the health department will track its referrals to have a better idea of the number of skin cancer cases.
"So if we have 15 people screened and five referred, then we will pick up the five referred and follow them to find out if they're malignant," Freed said. Brochures containing information about skin cancer from the American Cancer Society will also be available, Freed said.
"The detection of skin cancer is critical in the early stages and that's what these screenings are for," Freed said.
To make an appointment for Thursday or June 1, contact the Scott County Health Center at (573) 471-4044.

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]========
I too know the company of "shop cats," although my studio is in the
basement of our home rather than in a separate location. One of our
two cats, a portly female, has her own chair from which she
supervises all my activities. She doesn't seem to show the least
interest in chewing on things (except crunchy plastic wrappers) and
doesn't mind loud noises, but I do follow some common-sense
cat-proofing guidelines to keep her out of trouble, such as always
keeping chemicals sealed and stored away in drawers or cabinets, and
keeping workpieces and bits of stock (especially wire, which invites
play and could be extremely harmful) where she can't get to them.
I suppose your cat's suitability to your workshop depends largely on
her personality. My female is an easygoing, fairly lazy, and
imperturbable creature, which makes her a great shop cat. Our other
cat, however, is much more high-strung and easily startled by shop
noise; life in the studio would make him a nervous wreck. He's also
a mushy lap cat and hard to keep out of the way. Also, I'd be
concerned about spending enough time with your cat if your studio is
not in your home; a lonely cat will not be a happy one and will
manifest this by getting into trouble.
HTH, and good luck,
Jessee Smith

'Fast and Furious' star dies in car crash
By AP
Published: 01st December 2013 10:06 AM
Last Updated: 01st December 2013 08:29 PM
Paul Walker, the star of the "Fast & Furious" movie series, died Saturday in a car crash that killed two people north of Los Angeles, his publicist said. He was 40.
Walker died Saturday afternoon, Ame Van Iden told the Associated Press.
A statement on the actor's Facebook page said he was a passenger in a friend's car, and that Walker was in the area to attend a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide.
"We ... are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news," the statement said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department said that deputies found a car engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision in the community of Valencia. Two people who were found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.
The Santa Clarita Signal reports a red Porsche crashed into a light pole and tree and burst into flames.
Walker was working on "Fast & Furious 7" at the time of his death. He also starred in the suspense drama, "Hours," which is set for release this month.

|Ground Truth and Benchmarks for Performance Evaluation
|April 25, 2003
|Progress in algorithm development and transfer of results to practical applications such as military robotics requires the setup of standard tasks, of standard qualitative and quantitative measurements for performance evaluation and validation. Although the evaluation and validation of algorithms have been discussed for over a decade, the research community still faces a lack of well-defined and standardized methodology. The range of fundamental problems include a lack of quantifiable measures of performance, a lack of data from state-of-the-art sensors in calibrated real-world environments, and a lack of facilities for conducting realistic experiments. In this research, we propose three methods for creating ground truth databases and benchmarks using multiple sensors. The databases and benchmarks will provide researchers with high quality data from suites of sensors operating in complex environments representing real problems of great relevance to the development of autonomous driving systems. At National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), we have prototyped a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) system with a suite of sensors including a Riegl ladar, General Dynamics Robotics Systems (GDRS) ladar, stereo Charge Coupled Device (CCD), several color cameras, Global Position System (GPS), Inertial Navigation System (INS), pan/tilt encoders, and odometry*. All sensors are calibrated with respect to each other in space and time. This allows a database of features and terrain elevation to be built. Ground truth for each sensor can then be extracted from the database. The main goal of this research is to provide ground truth databases for researchers and engineers to evaluate algorithms for effectiveness, efficiency, reliability, and robustness, thus advancing the development of algorithms.
