Kretschmar joins Destination Dentistry
Carrie Moore
Published: Thursday, August 8th, 2013
While Dr. Rebecca Kretschmar may be new to the Custer community, she's finally home.
"I always knew Utah wasn't my place to be. It just never felt like home," she said. "I love the Black Hills. Since I've been here for a while, I feel like I've finally found my home."
Kretschmar was born in Georgia before her family relocated to Montana, where she was raised until she was 6. She and her mother moved to Utah, where she grew up.
At a young age, Kretschmar knew she wanted to be a doctor, so she studied nutrition at the University of Utah.
"I was raised by a single mother, we were a low-income family and everyone struggled with dental health," she said. "My mom was missing her two front teeth and struggled with confidence. I saw how much of a struggle it was and wanted to do something. I always wanted to be a doctor, so why not do this?"
Before graduation, Kretschmar shadowed area dentists and realized she wouldn't be satisfied going into a nutrition career. Then and there, Kretschmar decided she would be a dentist and started applying for dental schools.
"At the time, there were no dental schools in Utah," she said. "I wanted to see what else was out there, so I applied for dental schools in California."
Kretschmar got into her top choice, University of the Pacific in San Francisco, Calif., where she spent three years earning her degree and graduated as valedictorian from her 143-person class.
"Dentistry has been a super rewarding career," she said. "I changed my mom's smile from toothless and scared to date to a bombshell. She looks so good. Just to be able to do that to help my family and other people in general, that is quite amazing."
But even after graduating from dental school, she still wanted to learn more. While dentists are not required to have a residency, Kretschmar had a passion to further her education.

I am a research assistant for Mike Shara at STScI. The specific studies that we are involved with are the structure of nova shells, the discovery of Dwarf novae in globular clusters, and the discovery of novae in other galaxies. (I will explain what a nova and a dwarf nova are shortly.) Projects that I'm involved with other people include the comparison of stellar populations with theory and trying to understand why different globular clusters that appear to be the same age contain differences. (I will explain this shortly as well.)
A nova is a binary which has a white dwarf star and a companion that is dumping material onto it. When enough material is dumped onto the white dwarf the material explodes and gets ejected from the white dwarf. We study this ejected material to try and determine just how much material it takes for this explosion to take place and to determine how the eruption itself effects the structure of the shell. A dwarf nova is similar but instead of the eruption coming from the surface of the white dwarf it occurs in a disk of material that is being created from the material stripped off the companion. We're trying to find these objects in globular clusters, which or clusters of stars that orbit around our galaxy, because there are suppose to be lots of them there but as yet very few have been found. Globular clusters themselves are interesting because they contain so many stars that formed at the same time. This allows us to test theoretical models of how stars evolve. However, globular clusters still have differences that we can not explain and this is one of the areas which I am currently exploring.
What I do is write proposals for telescope time (basically an application form that is judged by other astronomers), observe at the telescope if we are doing ground based observations, process the data, analyze and model the data and finally to help write up our results for publication. This whole process is fun and exciting but by far my favorite parts are observing and the analysis and modeling. To me this is kind a like exploring and I get excited every time I receive time on a telescope and when I receive new data.
I guess I decided that I wanted to be an astronomer when I was about 12 or 13 years old. In grade 6 we did some reports on the solar system and these got me very interested in astronomy. Science always interested me but something about astronomy, I guess because it's such an unknown, just excited me. I grew up in a small town (8000 people) in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada and we didn't have too many things like science centers or stuff like that (the closest big city is Vancouver which is an 8 hour drive away). I did contact a professor at the local college and he was kind a enough to take me and a couple of friends to use some of the telescopes that the college had. One of the things I did do was to write NASA a letter and they sent me catalogs and some information. I also bought books and posters with the money I earned on my parents orchard. I think watching the shows "Cosmos" and then buying the book when a long way in furthering my interests. As I got older I got interested in computers which has helped me greatly in my work.
The best thing about my job is the not knowing what I will find. Exploring new areas of astronomy and trying to understand what we find is very exciting and interesting to me. I guess one of my least favorite parts is in the initial reduction or image processing of the data. It is completely necessary but it is pretty much the same every time and for every new piece of data. I guess it gets a little tedious.
I'm not sure I did anything special to prepare for my career. I read lots of books on astronomy, such as Cosmos by Carl Sagan, and I watched every show on PBS that had something to do with astronomy. I think today things have become more competitive and I would suggest that someone who wants to pursue a career in astronomy should study and math and physics and just importantly should learn as much as they can about computers.
There are two people that had a very large influence on me and my eventual success in this career. The first was a professor at a small college who took me and my friends to the telescopes that the college owned and showed us the planets and other interesting objects in the sky. He gave us books to read and he helped us make a telescope. My friends and I would regularly get together to look at the stars and watch a meteor shower like the Pleiades. Later once I was at University a professor there hired me to assist him. He encouraged my ideas and supported them as well. He then allowed me to apply or telescope time and to conduct research that I was interested in. These two people I owe a lot to and I will always be grateful to them for the support that they have given me.
Personal Info: I am unmarried and have no children. I will probably be getting a dog this year sometime. I played rugby for the University of Victoria. I guess because I grew up in a place where wilderness is abundant I enjoy hiking, camping and nearly everything associated with the outdoors.

Multichannel sound card (5.1)
I am planning to build a new computer after Christmas and I'm going to be building a computer with one of the components: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103688]AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8 GHz[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157160]ASRock mATX Motherboard with built-in graphics chip[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148236]2GB of DDR2 RAM[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152100]SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ 750GB HD[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147103]Rosewill R214P-P-SL Computer Case[/url] (Note that this selection will change from here on until after Christmas) [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817822006]Diablotek PSDA250 PSU[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185057]Scythe SY1225SL12L 120mm Fan[/url] This is all for $256.94 but sometime in the future, I might buy a new ALSA/JACK-compatible sound card but without mic pre-amps, which I don't really need, so now comes the question. Couldn't I use two sound cards for 5.1 multi-channel music production? For example: I use two outputs from my motherboard and 4 outputs from a sound card. One last question is does the Realtek ALC662 have support for multiple outputs through ALSA? Note that I've omitted the DVD burner for this music creation machine, since I wanted to distribute music digitally through the Internet, so I'll be doing a network install from my server to a new PC. However, this paragraph, along with the listed components, are not the point of this thread, but you could comment if you'd like. This thread is about multi-channel sound card.

The Tampa Buccaneers, perhaps the most disfunctional team in the NFL, took a commanding lead over the Seattle Seahawks, one of the most dominant teams in the NFL, on the road in Seattle.
How did they do it? A little bit of luck, a little bit of skill, and a jump pass touchdown from a running back to a tight end.
Yes, that really happened.

Stop worker injustice!
Every year, crooked employers cheat employees out of billions of dollars in wages and benefits and take advantage of hardworking families.
Join us for an unparalleled opportunity to make sure the U.S. Department of Labor listens to everyday people.
CCI is one of five groups across the country to host a "People's Hearing" with the U.S. Department of Labor. Top officials are coming to Des Moines to hear from everyday folks about worker justice, wage theft and enforcement issues.
Wage theft affects all people in Iowa. Greedy employers cheating wages means less money going to our local businesses and communities. The time has come for government to listen to everyday people instead of big corporations and abusive employers. We believe that everyone has a right to be paid for the work they do and to be treated fairly.
Testimonies from our own community will show how these injustices affect all Iowans and why we demand change now. Join us to put people before profits!
Speak out about worker justice and wage theft in Iowa!

The K2 Luv Sick 80Ti's provide the stability, edge grip, and all-conditions versatility that confident on-trail skiers demand. At 80 millimeters in the waist, these planks deliver fluid edge-to-edge transfer on 8am corduroy and 2pm moguls alike. Hybritech Sidewall Construction with a Metal Laminate balances your need for a stable, durable ski, with your preference for one that is lightweight. All-Terrain rocker in the tip results in high-end maneuverability on any surface, and camber under binding enables the Luv Sick's to grip icy steeps . Aided by a thinner overall profile, Taper Tip coolly punches through piled up afternoon snow, your former nemesis.
Hybritech Sidewall Construction - A practical pairing of durable sidewall construction under foot with cap in the tip and tail, Hybritech provides edge grip and durability while maintaining a knife's edge silhouette for efficient navigation of all varieties of terrain.
Metal Laminate - Speed and variable terrain cause skis to twist out of the turn. Torsional stiffness provided by the Luv Sick's metal laminate keeps the ski locked in through the apex of the arc.
Bioflex - Three different types of wood equip the Luv Sick 80Ti's for whatever the mountain throws at you. At core center, ultralight Paulownia keeps the ski maneuverable in heavy snow and bumps. Along the edge, the BeLuved's are prepared to take on ice and extreme hard pack, by rigid, high density Aspen. A bamboo stringer from tip to tail reduces chatter in order to yield highly consistent edge hold.
Channel Light Core - By cutting grooves into the wood core of the ski, K2 creates a flex pattern that is impressively smooth. Link turns in rapid succession without being bucked into the backseat by an excessively rigid tail.
All-Terrain Rocker - Early rise in the tip of the ski supports turn initiation and keeps you up on top of crud, spring mash, and of course pow.
Tapered Tip - Without conceding effective edge length, early taper in the tip reduces drag in fresh stuff and maximizes your punch-through power in variable snow, ice, and crud.
Thinner Profile - Reducing the thickness of the ski permits it to more easily slice though heavy granular snow or bumps.
Camber - Moderate Camber under foot earns the Luv Sick 80Ti's the East coast hard pack stamp of approval.
Marker ERC 11 TC - This system binding is integrated directly into the K2 Luv Sick 80Ti's. These bindings are designed to minimize fatigue by providing a leverage advantage. They have a din range of 3-10. The K2 Luv Sick 80 skis do not come mounted, if you have any questions on mounting please contact an expert at TheSkiMonster.com.

How to make a "silent" trumpet practice mute
If you play trumpet, it's very likely that you've wished for a way to practice your music just like you'll play it in your orchestra/band/ensemble/etc. without getting complaints from your family…or worse, your neighbors. Many commercial options exist to fill this need – the Brass Spa Practice Mute and Yamaha's Silent Brass, among others. These are great products, but they carry prices ranging from $25-$160. How would you like to make something nearly as good for less than two bucks?
I'll defer to Jim Donaldson (of Schilke Loyalist and Trumpet Gearhead fame) for the core instructions, but here is the quick take:
1. Buy a Renuzit air freshener. Be sure to pick a scent you like.
2. Enjoy it in your home for a few weeks. If you're impatient or need your mute now, you can skip this step.
3. Open the air freshener and wash out the remaining scented material. This may require soaking if you did step 2.
4. Remove the "plug" at the top and press/drill a small hole in it.
5. Put the top and bottom together.
6. Wrap cork or weatherstripping around the top. I used weatherstripping, and it seems to hold up best if you cut the ends at an angle where they meet…like ____/ and /____.
7. Put sound-deadening material inside, if desired. I find this unnecessary, but YMMV.
8. Optionally put the "plug" in the top of the assembled mute. I have tried it both ways and leave mine out.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a couple to show the finished – and well-used – final product.
Between the air freshener and the weatherstripping, your total cost to make this "silent" practice mute comes to under $2.00. If you use the air freshener for its original purpose first, the mute is effectively free! Now, wouldn't you rather put that money against a new mouthpiece? 🙂
For any other "gearheads" out there, here is a performance comparison that shows how your new Renuzit mute stacks up against several commercially-made practice mutes. What do you think? Good enough? Leave a comment and let us know!
Keep playing,

Getting a good night's sleep may help prevent and treat depression in teens.
A study published in the journal Sleep shows the more sleep adolescents get, the better it is for their mental health.
Teens who slept for five or less hours a night were 71 percent more likely to be depressed.
And 48 percent are more likely to have suicidal thoughts compared to teens who got a full night's rest.
The study recommends teenagers go to bed by ten or earlier, and get a full nine hours of sleep daily to stop them from developing depression.
"It's kind of a common idea that older adolescents don't need as much sleep as younger adolescents, but that's really not true--they still need about 9 hours of sleep at night," Dr. James E. Gangwisch of Columbia University Medical Center in New York City told Reuters Health.
There was no connection between a teen's set bedtime and how much they felt their parents cared for them. But there was a strong link between bedtime and whether of not that teen felt he or she was getting enough sleep.

Today's Russia may be a wealthier, more open nation than the Soviet Union in the early 1980s, but President Vladimir Putin's propaganda machine is working hard on restoring the stifling moral climate of 30 years ago.
The Sochi Olympics, Putin's pet project meant to boost patriotic sentiment, has presented the propagandists with a chance to take a giant leap in that direction.
The late years of Leonid Brezhnev's 18-year rule, and the brief interlude between his death in 1982 and Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika, were marked by a peak in Cold War rhetoric against the U.S. and a dogged if not particularly cruel persecution of dissidents, who were universally condemned by patriotic Soviet citizens freely expressing their strong opinions in state-controlled media. It was clear who the enemies were: The hostile West and the fifth column within the Soviet Union, supposedly doing the bidding of its Western masters.
The Brezhnev-era government tended to overreact to the slightest suggestions that there could be something wrong with the Soviet Union or that the West could be getting something right. To people who remember those days, as I do, living in Russia in 2014 is a lot like time travel, and the time machine bears the Sochi 2014 logo.
On Feb. 10, satirist Viktor Shenderovich published a column on the anti-Putin site, ej.ru, wondering whether a Putin opponent could root for Team Russia, or, indeed, for 15-year-old figure skating champion Yulia Lipnitskaya, without feeling pangs of guilt. "I really like this girl on ice skates," Shenderovich wrote. "I really do! But if you only knew how Berliners, in the summer of 1936, liked shot putter Hans Woellke, the first German track-and-field champion, a smiling, handsome guy symbolizing new Germany's youth!"
Woellke went on to serve in the Waffen SS and was killed by Soviet guerrillas near a Belarussian village wiped out completely by a punitive SS operation. Shenderovich's parallel was deliberately provocative, but the backlash was disproportionate by any standards.
Vladimir Vasilyev, head of the United Russian faction in parliament, called Shenderovich's article "fascist." Svetlana Zhurova, a lawmaker and former speed skating champion, said this: "He offended a great number of people, and he should apologize."
The Russia 1 TV station took aim at the columnist, airing bits of an old video showing him in bed with a woman not his wife.
"I have no doubt that orders to flatten Shenderovich came from the very top," TV journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza wrote on sobesednik.ru. And indeed, the campaign's excessive firepower suggests the explanation.
The same is true of Olympic attacks on the other enemy, the supposedly Russia-hating West. On Feb. 15, Russia played the U.S. in a first-round hockey game at the Sochi Olympics. The referee, Brad Meier, an American, disallowed a Russian goal less than five minutes from the end of regulation time. The game went to a shootout, and Russia lost by one goal. The controversy quickly turned political. "How can a U.S. referee ref a Team USA game? The puck was in the goal!! How disgusting! Cheating as the whole world watched!" senior pro-Putin legislator Alexei Pushkov tweeted.
Vesti Nedeli's Kiselyov, whom Putin recently appointed head of a large news agency called Russia Today, had much to say about Meier's decision, which Russian Hockey Federation head Vladislav Tretyak, once a famed goalie, described as correct. "When Americans make the rules, they will always favor themselves," Kiselyov preached.
In the early 1980s, several dozen people a year were arrested for "anti-Soviet propaganda." That is not happening under Putin, but it's easy to believe it might, yet. The thinly veiled threat is there, in the words of Putin's favorite mouthpiece, Kiselyov: "Shenderovich's every line strengthens Putin's image as a tolerant and truly liberal man. Under Putin, Shenderovich can ... keep spouting whatever he wants, not only using the freedom of speech that exists under the president he hates, but abusing it."
Shenderovich feels the threat as the propaganda machine keeps beating up on him. "This is Putin's 15th year in power," he wrote in yet another ej.ru column. "Enough has been done in his name to understand what's going to happen next. Those who want to hide their heads in the sand - welcome."
In his previous terms in power, Putin was more subtle and, perhaps, somewhat less confident. Now, he is unabashedly restoring the order to which he was used at the top of his KGB career. To him, it is clearly a matter of not letting the fifth column give up Russia to a predatory U.S., and the war will be waged by any means he deems necessary.

Kevin Johnson is the KING of Sacramento regardless of what happens.
-worked with the Maloofs
-worked with Stern
-worked with AEG
-all the research involved
-assembling 19 local investors
-getting multiple major equity partners to work together
-plus, a potential lawsuit against Hansen
Hell, he missed the Inauguration so that he could continue to fight for Sacramento. If KJ pulls this off, I'll name my first son after him (just kidding)... If he pulls this off, the arena needs to be called KJ's Palace , because none of it would be possible without him.
Hypothetical Question:
Seattle deal gets declined.
Maloofs decide to keep the team
back to square one?
I mean David Stern cant force them to sell...
So is it cool if SONICS fans take over this forum yet?

Sacramento kings purple....lol...
^ I'm sure Seattle & their "true" fans wouldn't want to take our team if they had the option (Expansion or Relocating a Franchise). Unfortunately our owners are a band of goons & put us in a horrible situation, blaming Seattle fans for being excited about potentially getting their loved team back is silly.
As for the Schmucks who make baseless comments on a situation they know nothing about, can kiss my ghostly white ***.
According to Bobcats fans this is the clause that allowed Jordan to purchase the Bobcats.
If they did fall for this though its not them getting Maloofed they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Wow, where does the time go? It is Forest Festival time again! Elkins businesses and residents have been working hard to spruce up the town to make a good impression on all the visitors that will be coming to town this week.
As a photographer I've personally been cleaning and organizing my photo gear to make sure I'm ready for all the action that is coming up. If you are a photo buff, you won't have to look far for something to quench your photographic thirst. The Forest Festival folks have a massive list of activities for you to attend and photograph. Parades, contests, exhibits and shows, the festival has it all.
If you want to learn more about your hobby, be sure to stop by the photography exhibit and see what other people are photographing to get some new ideas. Also stop by the Randolph County Community Arts Center and check out the paintings. You can learn a lot about photography by studying the work of these very talented artists.

If you want to photograph famous people, Maid Silvia has a schedule that you wouldn't believe. She, along with her court and entourage, will be everywhere this week. The coronation is always beautiful and a great place to take some photos.
If you are going to get company this year, this will be the week. The friends and relatives will be coming out of the woodwork. Be sure to take lots of photographs of your family and friends and share copies with them. It will be a great way to remember a fun week.
When you get tired of socializing and can't eat another corndog, everyone will understand if you take some personal time to relax and head out of town for a little while to get a little nature therapy. The trees are coming alive with color, and my favorite way to relax is to head out into the woods and enjoy the fresh air and peace and quiet. It is very difficult to take photographs of fresh air, but go ahead and see what you can do.
The photo accompanying this article is of 2009 Queen Silvia Alisha Taylor in her beautiful gown. You can get the first look at the 2010 gown in Friday's edition of The Inter-Mountain and live that afternoon at the coronation of Maid Silvia Meredith Rae Orndorff.

Sorry, we don't have any puppies right now.
Our puppies go to their new homes with their first vaccinations and worming.
They are started on litter box and potty training from 3 weeks old. It will be up to you to let them out regularly and later teach them to ask to be let out.
Poodles don't shed their fur out, so it needs to be clipped regularly, they require regular grooming by a professional unless you're going to learn how to do it yourself. They should be brushed throuxghouly every week, then gone over with a comb to find every knot before it gets too big. 1 to 3 times a year they'll need to have their body clipped, depending on how well you keep up with brushing. The upside of all this grooming is they won't leave hair on your clothes and your house.
You can come here to pick up your puppy or we can deliver your puppy to the Sacramento, California area.
It is very important to us to only have quality healthy dogs in our lines, and we don't want our Poodles creating any poor quality dogs. So we won't be letting any puppies go to new homes for breeding unless you have exceptional dogs to contribute to the program.

Diving Micronesia, especially Palau and Truk, is at or near the top of most divers lists. Most divers head to Palau, where big fish abound. The Blue Corner is among the world's best high voltage dive sites. Visibility can exceed 200 feet,
while currents range from nil to dangerously strong so use a reef hook and bring your safety sausage. Long day-boat rides to the best diving weave through calm waters and past magnificent rock islands, but there's the potential for rough seas on the outer edges. Most divers diving Palau prefer liveaboards. Marine biodiversity is among the greatest in the world, but coral bleaching and commercial fishing is taking its toll.
Wreck diving mavens head to Truk (Chuuk) and the world's most diverse wreck diving on a Japanese fleet sunk by Americans during WWII.
Most wreck dives, other than on the superstructures, exceed 80 feet, but they're great even without penetration. The wrecks are starting to suffer and many artifacts that should have been left alone have been purloined, but the ships are festooned with coral, and most all the unique reef fish of the Pacific have made them home.
When diving Truk expect calm water, occasional poor visibility, and hot weather. Both destinations are such a long haul that divers usually stop at a second island to amortize their trip costs. Yap has been the traditional stopover, but the diving in Kosrae and Pohnpei may be better choices.
Air temperatures uniformly remain in the 80s year-round. For land
travel, there's little difference between the wet and dry season, although January
through March is considered the most comfortable season because of lower humidity
and slightly cooler temperatures. Although visibility is slightly reduced by run-off
during the July through October monsoons, the wind is also milder during this
season, producing flatter seas. Water temperatures remain in the mid 80s year-round.
Typhoons are most frequent between August and December but are rare in Palau.

Dive Sites of the Great Barrier Reef
by Neville Coleman.
2900 reefs in 220,000 square miles, the enormous Great Barrier Reef has incredible
dives -- and some very ordinary ones. If you're contemplating a trip, Neville
Coleman's Dive Sites of the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea will help you
ensure you pick the best. This 176 page book, with good maps and scores of colorful
photos, describes the significant sites, the topography and the critters, then

without consulting this. $24.95
Indo-Pacific Coral Reef Field Guide
by Gerald R. Allen, Roger Steene.
I was trying to pack
light for a change. Surely the Solomon Sea would have good identification books
aboard. Not so; the only book on the boat belonged to a fellow passenger. It was
one that I had not seen before, the Indo-Pacific Coral Reef Field Guide,
by two of the best fish guys around, Gerry Allen and Roger Steene. The problem
was this fellow passenger kept it in a plastic baggie most of the trip and I had
to beg to see it. Great book, good traveling size, and it covers everything from
fish, shells, marine plants, mammals, corals, and invertebrates to sea birds and
more. Now I've got my own, and it won't do you any good to beg me to borrow it.
This is one of two books that I will not travel to the Pacific without. Good for
travel to the Red Sea, East Africa, Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, Andaman Sea,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Australia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and Hawaii,
it has 1,800 color illustrations in a 6x8 1/2 paperback format with 378 pages.

Copper price still remains in sight of multi-month highs
The price of Brent oil is set to decline in eleventh out of thirteen last sessions as the front-month contract (ICE) price dips below 110 USD/bbl level today in early trading. More or less the same factors which weighed on the oil price over the past few days are in play today as well, that is, a relatively stable situation in Iraq along with good news from Libya. As for the latter, Libya's Oil Ministry said it has 7.5 million barrels of oil ready to be exported from reacquired ports of Ras Lanuf and Es Sider (which have a capacity of more than 500 thousand barrels per day).
In the meantime, however, the country's oil production rose slightly to "only" 326 thousand barrels per day, according to a spokesman of the National Oil Corp, as oil from the western El Sharara oilfield remains blocked by separate protests. Although the oil production, which is still well below its historical standards, clearly limits room for increased exports from the country in the weeks to come, even a modest increase in volume of oil shipments from Libya could weigh further on North Sea oil prices. Situation in the physical market seems already to be very comfortable at the moment as prices of CFD contracts (short-term Dated Brent swaps) are seen at the lowest level in two years.
Base Metals
Base metals were trading mixed and on average posted only small gains on Monday. Copper price still remains in sight of multi-month highs, despite news about possible agreement between Freeport McMoRan and Indonesia's government that could resolve a dispute about tax on exports of copper concentrates from the country. The tax levied on mineral ore exports early this year certainly contributed to an upward pressure on copper prices in recent months as it halted exports of copper concentrates from the country. Let us recall that Indonesia's Grasberg mine is - with last year's production of about 420 thousand tonnes of the metal, or nearly 3 % of global mine production - one of the world's largest copper mines.

Contributors sought for The Encyclopedia of Modern Political Ideologies to be published by M.E. Sharpe in 2004
Project Description:
The Encyclopedia will be a two-volume academic reference work furnishing a comprehensive overview of modern European and American political culture from the early modern period to the present. The Encyclopedia will consist of 28 chronologically-arranged chapters with a maximum length of 15,000 words per chapter. Each chapter will furnish a historical review and critical examination of a major political ideology of the modern era, from absolutism to the anti-neoliberal global justice movement. The Encyclopedia is designed to serve as a standard, comprehensive reference work for universities, public libraries, media outlets, and individual academics.
Authors will be encouraged to offer accessible (i.e., jargon-free) accounts providing nonspecialists with an appropriate introduction to their subject area, as well as information and interpretations that will be of interest to scholars specializing in the study of political ideologies. Each chapter will conclude with a 'Focus' item - a short (1-2,000) word evaluation of the contribution of an important historian, philosopher or political scientist to our understanding of the political ideology under discussion - and a bibliographical essay.
Final drafts are to be submitted to the general editor by April 30, 2003 (1-2 month extensions can be negotiated in particular circumstances). Upon publication, contributors will be paid $250 plus a copy of the Encyclopedia.
For a complete list of ideologies that have been allocated chapters or for further information about this project, please contact the general editor:

Erie County churches to celebrate Christian unity
Some Christians kneel to pray. Others sit.
Some sing. Others chant.
Whatever their differences in worship style, many will come together this week to celebrate what they have in common -- Christ. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity began Friday and continues through Friday.
"It's really an opportunity to start off the new year celebrating our unity, our unity as Christians, our oneness in Christ," said Diane Edwards, executive director of Inter-Church Ministries of Erie County.
ICM is sponsoring a 2013 Christian Unity Service on Jan. 27 at 2:30 p.m. at Abiding Hope Lutheran Church, 5312 Peach St., Millcreek Township. A pair of Greene Township churches will hold a Christian Unity Service this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. That event is organized by St. Boniface Catholic Church and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and will take place at Prince of Peace, 9263 Lake Pleasant Road.
The Rev. John Schultz, pastor of St. Boniface, said the annual event enables the Christian churches to highlight "the commonality we share." He said his parish and Prince of Peace come together for six to eight other events each year where the unity is unstated. This is the one specific gathering where the emphasis is on that.
The Greene Township churches also hold their service so people in that part of the county don't have to travel too far, organizers said. Schultz said the 2013 version will include singing, Scriptures and a message.
The Inter-Church Ministries event is held at a different church each year and usually attracts 150 to 200 people, Edwards said. She said the goal is "to celebrate unity amid vast diversity."
This year's service will have a bit of an international flavor, she said, and include drumming, a prayer chant, music, testimonies, statements by Mercyhurst University students and John Rai from the Erie Bhutanese Church, a Christian congregation.
Edwards said ICM is using Week of Prayer materials prepared by the Student Christian Movement of India. A different group contributes to the texts each year.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which is traditionally observed Jan. 18-25, is promoted by the World Council of Churches' Commission on Faith and Order and the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, which finalize the materials.
This year's theme is "What does God require of us?" from Micah 6:6-8.
Organizers of the local services said anyone is welcome to attend.

The minister has ordered five websites blocked since he assumed the position eight months ago.
He admitted he was not information-technology savvy and made minimum use of the Internet. The reason Sitthichai, 59, is not excited by the Internet is simple: "I'm old."
"I have an e-mail account but rarely check it; normally I use the telephone." He visits two websites only on a regular basis.
Sitthichai, an associate professor in electronics, often visits the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers site. At ieee.org he updates his professional knowledge.
And at pgatour.com he can monitor golf tournaments and other sports.
He said he had "not even glanced" at most of the five sites he was responsible for closing.
"I once visited pantip.com and was confused by its many rooms. I quit and never went back," he said.
Pantip.com is a leading portal website in Thailand, and it hosts the popular Rajdamnoen Room, a virtual public space for people to share political opinions. The chat room was one of the five sites Sitthichai barred.
He insisted he had been approached by the webmaster at pantip.com, who had said the site was unable to control comments being made about Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda.
Other sites he has blocked are Camfrog for allegedly showing live, lewd acts by webcam users and YouTube for presenting a video clip considered insulting to the monarchy. He cannot remember the others. They were pornography sites.
Camfrog was reopened after being blocked for about 10 days. YouTube remains off limits to surfers in Thailand.
Both are overseas based and popular in Thailand. Sitthichai admitted he did not know the purpose of the two sites or what users did at them.
His decision to block sites or issue warnings to webmasters are based on opinions and suggestions from about 20 ministry staff and state-owned CAT Telecom, who monitor the online world around the clock.
He was presented with "hard-copy" evidence of the sites along with proposals to block them.
During his time with the portfolio he has received as many as 100 recommendations to shut sites. Just five deserved it, he said. It does not take him long to decide which sites will be blocked.
"The most important issue is lese majeste. That makes the decision easy. Then comes threats to national security and the morality of society," he said.
He sets his own criteria. To criticise the Privy Council president is a threat to national security, he said.
He instantly ordered YouTube off limits because the offending material "touched on the untouchable of Thailand".
Sitthichai realises his job is not easy. Information often comes with challenges to national taboos.
The dilemma is balancing the basic rights of people to information and those national taboos. The international community has slammed him for his actions, but he could have been pilloried at home by allowing material offensive to the nation to be distributed, he said.
Of the international incident the YouTube action has become he said: "I didn't mean to prevent Thai people having access to all of the website, but I wanted to show the world how important the monarchy was to this country and its people."
Sitthichai said the monarchy was vital to Thailand and its people and the institution was above politics.
He described Western criticism as "hypocritical".
"If it [YouTube owner Google] truly respects human rights and the flow of information, why does it self-censor information the Chinese government considers improper simply to gain access to that market?" he asked.
Every community has its own taboos and respected institutions that should not be criticised, he added.
"Remember when church and religion were taboo? Those challenging their religion were punished," he said.

First tweet
June 11, 2010 - Neil Rudel
Congratulate me on being dragging into the new age of technology. Here (drum roll, please) is my first tweet.
"Nebraska could be joining the Big Ten. Will Texas hook its horns to Pac-10, where star player USC has been wrecklessly out of control?"
Of course, we'll see how this (Twitter, not Texas/USC) goes, but I'll try to use it for some one-liners or tease Mirror coverage, etc, and then expand on it here or in the paper.
That's how I presume it's supposed to work and, if not, Ray Eckenrode will advise me.
I like the Big Ten's pull of Nebraska and think the Cornhuskers will strengthen the conference considerably. They're steeped in tradition and represent a institution with integrity. Anyone who has ever had the privilege of attending a game in Lincoln -- and it is a privilege -- knows the fans are as classy as they come. (And that includes Beaver Stadium).
If it can't get Notre Dame now, maybe the Big Ten ought to just pull back, rather than water itself down with the likes of Missouri, Rutgers and perhaps other additions that may blow up the Big East.
The Big Ten took Penn State in 1990 and Nebraska 20 years later. Maybe less is more for now.
In the meantime, if half the Big 12 goes to the Pac-10, it will make one super conference. But be careful what you wish for, Texas: Conference heavyweight USC has not operated with insitutional control in either football or basketball.
It's tough to be a bedfellow with someone you don't respect.
In the meantime: here are my new coordinates:
I'm figuring to at least capture my immediate family :)

It is probably fortunate that systems of education are constantly under the fire of general criticism, for if education were left solely in the hands of teachers the chances are good that it would soon deteriorate. Medical education, however, is less likely to suffer from such stagnation, for whenever the lay public stops criticizing the type of modern doctor, the medical profession itself may be counted on to stir up the stagnant pool and cleanse it of its sedimentary deposit. The most common criticism made at present by older practitioners is that young graduates have been taught a great deal about the mechanism of disease, but very little about the practice of medicine—or, to put it more bluntly, they are too "scientific" and do not know how to take care of patients.
One is, of course, somewhat tempted to question how completely fitted for his life work the practitioner of

Skip to comments.Maher Calls Bike Ride with Wounded Warriors Nauseating, Compares Bush to Cleveland Kidnaper
Posted on 06/02/2013 12:18:32 PM PDT by Kaslin
click here to read article
Though he had no idea what it was... Maher then equated the former President with Ariel Castro, the kidnaper who held captive multiple women for a decade and murdered their un-born babies...So, why'd the Wounded Warriors show up then, you miserable POS demagogue?
Thanks Kaslin. I wonder why? LMAO
It's good to know they think of him that way.
I try not to think of the other guy in situations like this. It's downright depressing.
Maher isn't worthy to tie their shoelaces.
It was on the field of battle.... I guess we need to re-define our battlefield.
It isn't surprising to hear this from the rat-faced genetic disaster. Instead of the outrage he craves and feeds on, he deserves a big yawn.
Didn't Ann Coulter used to go out with him (or is it another leftist POS I'm thinking of)?
There's an entry in Mayer's biography that is somehow forgotten even though it was fairly recent.
A comedy was filmed and released during Bill Clinton's administration entitled 'Bill Clinton's Talking Penis.'
Bill Mayer furnished the voice-over for the title role.
"He had a reputation of not being able to perform with his paid prostitutes."
That explains Maher's comraderie with his audience of clueless adolescents who can find humor in the plight of amputees who returned from a war. His show is a support group for people who haven't been able to get a life.
At least there may be hope for some of the kids in his audience.
**** "That, and it's always polite to make way for crazy people that make a living jumping out of airplanes and killing people." *****
True and Bump... but it is more a way of life than making a living... if Eternal Youth is ever achieved, these folks should get "Head of the Line Privileges"
I'd like to see Maher's pasty ass push the pedals for 61 miles sometime.
If his hero FDR hadn't sent soldiers to 'get their limbs blown off', Herr Maher would be speaking German or Japanese.
This was last year at Paro Duro Canyon near Amarillo, TX
0bama's version of riding in tough terrain
Hope all the Ann Coulter fans remember that she dated this slug for a long time.
Maher should STFU....what he is doing is making a special time for these people who gave much for us.......
Someone who has never put his life on the line, or lost a limb really should keep his mouth shut.
Another person on my list of people that I will go out of my way to spit on if I ever see them in public.
well Bill, how many of these warriors were wounded in the past 5 years? If any, then they were "sent to war" by barack obama yes?
Hopefully someday he will meet the bumper of a NY City taxi in the crosswalk and become undercoating for the winter for the underside of the Taxi.
>> What I find nauseating is these morons laughing with this left wing lunatic
They laugh on command; unintelligent losers.
The technology that allows them to do these things is also used for people that suffer automotive and industrial accidents, and surprise birth defects.
People shouldnt be over there losing limbs in the first place.
Yeah it is a much better idea to allow them to come to our shores in cities like say Boston.
Bill you're an F'n moron!
Remember this POS Maher when the SHTF, he deserves a short rope!
Maher is a typical liberal... a disgusting excuse for a human being.
Me too.
You have FReepmail.
I have done Sprint Triathlons 20K bike rides, on a racing road bike and that is no picnic.
I can't imagine 100k in the Texas heat.
maher, and all the other idiots on the left, should take a shotgun and stick it up there asses, and pull the trigger. Shitards.
oh please, that's an insult to adolescents!
I detest these leftists that say to OK Obama's war(s) but criticize the Bush's actions. That said I do believe that the whole/complete story of the gulf wars is yet to be told. I think there was/is a hidden agenda as to oil supplies. Such would/could of course involve relationships with the Saudis who had/have in fact no love for the USA except to sell their oil. The Saudis are set on having Sharia law in the US and many of our politicians don't give a hoot and people like Obama even work for it.
I figured that Maher's recent lucid interval wouldn't last very long.
Coulter called Maher an idiot in her book Demonic, I believe. So she probably has some regrets.
Of course not! He wants to see them in the Rose Garden holding umbrellas for Obama.
I think Bill Maher is looking back at his miserable life and finding out that being a liberal has brought him no happiness. In fact it has turned him into a miserable POS with no love for his fellow man. None.
Wonder if she regrets her rabid demonic support for NJ gov. Chris Christie?

A Corporate Right to Privacy
Elizabeth Pollman
Loyola Law School Los Angeles
April 1, 2014
Minnesota Law Review, Vol. 99, No. 1, 2014
Loyola-LA Legal Studies Paper No. 2014-27
The debate over the scope of constitutional protections for corporations has exploded with commentary on recent or pending Supreme Court cases, but scholars have left unexplored some of the hardest questions for the future, and the ones that offer the greatest potential for better understanding the nature of corporate rights. This Article analyzes one of those questions — whether corporations have, or should have, a constitutional right to privacy. First, the Article examines the contours of the question in Supreme Court jurisprudence and provides the first scholarly treatment of the growing body of conflicting law in the lower courts on this unresolved issue. Second, the Article examines approaches to determining the scope of corporate constitutional rights and argues that corporate privacy rights should be evaluated not by reference to the corporate form itself or a notion of corporate personhood, but rather by reference to the privacy interests of the various people involved in the corporation and their relationship to the corporation. Further, because corporations exist along an associational spectrum — from large, publicly traded corporations constituted purely for business purposes to smaller organizations with social, political, or religious purposes — the existence of a corporate privacy right will and should vary.

I spotted chef Josh Black a few nights ago while he was sipping a tall cocktail at his old stomping grounds, The People's Last Stand. There has been a few pop-up dinners recently that Josh produced, but he hasn't been in a steady kitchen since he left FT33. You know Josh from such restaurants as Stephan Pyles, CampO, and he even helped open Cedars Social with John Tesar. Yea, you probably forgot that Tesar opened Cedars just before he did the whole Commissary gig.

Horse head-shaped fragment
Museum no. LOAN:INDIA.66 (Yo.0030.k)
© Victoria and Albert Museum, London
On loan from the Government of India and the Archaeological Survey of India
The terracotta fragment of the head of a horse might have belonged to a figurine of a horse with rider. The facial features, reins and mane are incised. It was acquired at Yotkan, the site of the former capital of the Kingdom of Khotan, about 10 km west of today's town of Khotan in Xinjiang, China, and a major Buddhist centre. At this site large quantities of antiquities were brought to light, unfortunately generally not from scientific excavations. The most characteristic finds are small terracottas, moulded appliques in classical style and tiny animal figurines.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama is heading to Philadelphia for a campaign event at the National Constitution Center.
The first lady will be speaking to supporters and volunteers at the center downtown on Wednesday afternoon. The campaign says she will be reminding them what's at stake in the November election and encouraging voter registration. Tickets were given out at campaign field offices starting on Monday.
Obama last visited Pennsylvania in April, when she spoke at the 911th Air Wing base outside Pittsburgh to recognize veterans and military families.
President Barack Obama handily won Pennsylvania in 2008 in the contest against Republican John McCain, and the state has supported Democrats in the most recent five presidential elections.
This year, Republican candidate Mitt Romney is pushing to take the state away from Obama.

Green River brings minor flooding to Auburn
The Green River continues to run high in the aftermath of heavy rain.
River flows at the Auburn gage were 9,700 cubic feet per second (cfs) as of 1:15 p.m. today.
A Phase 3 minor flooding alert remains in effect. The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for the Green River near Auburn through Saturday evening.
Planned water releases from a flood-control dam in the upper Green River watershed at midweek brought the river up to a Phase 3 flood alert level, according to the King County Flood Warning Center, which has been monitoring flood conditions since midday Tuesday.
At Phase 3, flooding of varied depths can occur in the Green River Valley upstream of Auburn, and in the lower Mill Creek Basin. Southeast Green Valley Road and the West Valley Road could overtop with floodwaters.
Flood flow is considered at 9,000 cfs.
"A flood in the city of Auburn takes place as we go over 12,000 cfs," said Mayor Pete Lewis. "So we are well below that stage."Minor flooding is forecast.
The Green River rose above flood flow around 3 p.m. Wednesday and is expected to crest near 10,764 cfs around 4 a.m. Thursday. The river is expected to fall below flood flow Saturday morning, according to the King County Flood Warning Center.
Center staff have been working around the clock since 1:30 p.m. Tuesday to monitor the flood event, which is the result of extensive rainfall in the Cascade Range and foothills.
Flood Warning Center staff will remain on duty throughout the duration of this flood event.Updated information on flooding will also be posted on the King County website at www.kingcounty.gov, or via RPIN, the area's regional website at www.rpin.org.
A recorded flood-information hotline is also updated each hour for citizens wanting information in flood areas. The number is 206-296-8200 or 1-800-945-9263.
Citizens who need help interpreting flood information should call 206-296-4535 or 1-800-768-7932. Problems on County maintained roads can be reported by calling 206-296-8100 or 1-800-KC-ROADS.
An automated flood alert system is now available and provides real-time warning of potential high water on more than a half-dozen rivers. King County residents and business owners can sign up to receive King County Flood Alerts by visiting www.kingcounty.gov/flood, or by calling 206-263-3400 during regular business hours to register by phone. Messages of potential high flows on any of King County's major river systems can be sent by phone, text or email.
After receiving an automated call from the City of Auburn informing them of the Stage 3 flood alert issued for the Green River, Billy and Vicky Crocker grabbed their dog, Sadie, and went for a walk at Isaac Evans Park to survey the river on Wednesday.
"We got the call and had to come down and see it," Vicky Crocker said. "We walk down her all the time,"
Billy said. "When we don't walk on this side, we walk on the other side. Sadie is looking for the beach, she can't figure out where it went."

Friday Finds — Free PDF Download on Networked Teens March 21, 2014Posted by Susi Grissom in Check this out!.
Tags: Friday Finds, social media, teens
School librarian Patricia Sarles recently shared information on the AASL Forum about an intriguing new resource for anyone working or living with teens – It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens by danah boyd. Patricia writes, "danah boyd(she doesn't capitalize her name) is a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and a Fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center, where she looks at how young people use social media as part of their everyday lives.â€Â Of particular note is the fact that boyd shares her 281-page work as a free PDF, downloadable at the following link:
In her preface, boyd writes that her book is "my attempt to describe and explain the netÂworked lives of teens to the people who worry about them—parents, teachers, policy makers, journalists, sometimes even other teens. It is the product of an eight-year effort to explore various aspects of teens' engagement with social media and other networked technologies.â€
Based on extensive interviews and observations of 166 teens living in the United States, boyd explores the topics of identify, privacy, addiction, danger, bullying, inequality, literacy, and searching for a personal public, each theme reflected through the lens of an intricately networked adolescent world. Â Download danah boyd's compelling and timely research (the price is right!), then share your comments with the readers of this blog.
