Falcon Crest
We enjoyed your article on Jane Wyman and the stars of Falcon Crest (PEOPLE, Oct. 18). Although my daughter and I follow the weekly intrigues of the California winery family with great interest, we call the show Sour Grapes.

Troy, N.Y.
I applaud PEOPLE for taking such a firm stance on America's war against itself. All the posturing of the National Rifle Association and its allies cannot conceal the fact that the handgun death toll continues to rise while they intimidate a lot of gutless politicians and block every effort to end the senseless tragedies. Your article will go a long way toward alerting the public to the reality of our handgun obsession. Perhaps more communities will follow the lead of Morton Grove, Ill. and ban the damn things altogether.

I was surprised to see yet another article against the constitutionally guaranteed right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. The Founding Fathers insisted that this provision be included in the Bill of Rights in order to protect the individual from capricious or arbitrary government. Thomas Jefferson summed it up quite well when he stated: "...and what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."

I find it ridiculous that James Brady is suing the companies which produced John Hinckley's RG 14 revolver. Should a hit-and-run victim be compensated by the company which made the car? Should a man stabbed with a butcher knife be awarded a settlement from the cutlery manufacturer? I think not. It is no different with guns. The fact is that there are those who will kill regardless of the tools that are available to them. Society does not need gun control, just people control.
Brian Kennedy
Florence, S.C.
Quick, let's string up John Hinckley's handgun. While we're at it, why don't we let all those other innocent criminals go free and just put their guns in jail?
Kevin J. Bernard
Parsippany, N.J.
Kathleen J. Williams, 37, of Morgan-town, W.Va., was one of the 42 people included in your gallery of handgun victims for the 24-hour period beginning 6 a.m. Sept. 18. Jane was also the best friend I ever had. She was a decent, honest and loving person who did not deserve such a horrible death. I always thought of a handgun as something I would see only on TV, and I never imagined anyone I knew would be murdered with one. Now my special memories of Jane are overshadowed by thoughts of the terror she must have experienced before she was found shot in a car parked in a cemetery. I know life will never be the same for me or for those who loved Jane as a daughter, sister and aunt. It is difficult to understand the seriousness of the handgun problem until one has experienced this kind of grief. I don't have all the answers, but I hope there will be more probing articles like yours that give us pause to think, and perhaps give lawmakers cause to act.

I have never heard of anything as sick and evil as Robert Graham's sperm bank in Escondido, Calif., where a woman can conceive a child by participating in the most unnatural science. If there is a hell, all of the people involved in this creation of little Frankenstein's monsters will surely find it.

Your interview with Jehan Sadat filled me with hope. Anwar Sadat's assassination one year ago saddened and terrified me so much, I just sat in front of the TV and cried. Thank God, the feelings of love, hope and compassion the Egyptian President represented did not die with him. Jehan, you are not alone. You have many friends in the world who are anxious to carry on your husband's dream of peace.

Thank you for your article on the reunion of 11 Amerasian children from Vietnam with their American relatives. I am 16 years old and was reminded of how fortunate I am to have parents I can kiss and hug every day. I must applaud these families. I have never read of such abiding love and faith.

I was a rock music junkie until Bill Browder, alias T.G. Sheppard, turned me on to country music. I feel it was a travesty that he was overlooked by the Country Music Association when it gave out its annual awards recently. As you said in your article, "It's just hard to take seriously a fellow whose initials are meaningless." Nevertheless, his fans know T.G. really stands for "The Greatest."

Your review of a counter-censorship exhibit sponsored by the American Library Association's Office of Intellectual Freedom (PEOPLE, April 26) contained an erroneous statement: "In Oil City, Pa., the school board members didn't just ban John Steinbeck's classic Of Mice and Men. They burned it." In fact, Of Mice and Men is in the Oil City High School library. The school board did not ban the book, nor did it ever discuss the issue.
Layton Matchulet

Oil City Area District
We regret the error. Of Mice and Men was actually banned by the nearby Allegheny-Clarion Valley school district.

LINDEN — When an officer tried to stop a car with an unregistered license plate, the driver sped away, sparking a brief middle-of-the-night chase that ended with a crash on a residential driveway, police said.
City resident Tyrone Chambers, 35, was charged with eluding police and resisting arrest after crashing into a curb in a driveway at 412 Kennedy Dr., and attempting to escape on foot, police Capt. James Sarnicki said.
At 12:06 a.m., officer Christian Ramirez saw a 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo pass him on South Wood Avenue, and through a computer check, determined the license plate was unregistered, Sarnicki said.
He said the officer attempted to stop the car when it pulled into a service station, but the driver sped back onto South Wood Avenue, made a U-turn and led the officer down several streets, making at least one illegal turn, before turning on to Kennedy Drive.
After striking the curb, the driver fled into the backyard and climbed over a fence, but was arrested moments later walking on West Stimpson Avenue, the captain said.
He said the driver, identified as Chambers, was issued summons for 15 motor vehicle violations. Police also discovered outstanding arrest warrants issued by Linden and Sayreville police.
Chambers is being held on $36,250 bail, pending a court hearing.

LA VERGNE - While holiday lights sparkle on lawns and in houses, lone blue lights are visible in some windows as a tribute to the police officers who have been killed in the line of duty.
Through Project Blue Light, citizens pay tribute to fallen police officers while showing support for their surviving families, and their law enforcement "families" who continue to work.
So far in 2012, 110 police officers have been killed in the line of duty, and one of those was from Tennessee, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.
"Every single day police officers face different challenges," La Vergne Police Chief Mike Walker said. "And every single day law enforcement officers put themselves in harms way to ensure traffic safety, to investigate reports of crime, and to protect lives and property. The blue light displayed in a window or on a porch during the Christmas season signals that you remember those who lost their lives while serving the public. You also let their families know that you remember them and you hope for another year of safety for officers who are still serving.'
A national organization called Concerns of Police Survivors sponsors the national event and invites citizens and law enforcement agencies nationwide to put one blue light in their window during the holiday season.
COPS provides resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
The idea for Project Blue Light began in 1988 when Dolly Craig wrote to COPS that she would be putting two blue candles in her living room window that holiday season in memory of her son-in-law and daughter whose deaths left six children without parents. Since that time, the program has spread nationwide.
Battery operated candlesticks can be easily found online or at local hardware or other retail stores. Placing a blue bulb in them will serve as a community reminder that police officers protect and serve, putting their lives on the line every day.

EE revealed as UK's most complained-about broadband and mobile service
14:15, June 27 2014
BT and TalkTalk also attract complaints, but Virgin Media and Sky score highly in Ofcom report.
EE has been named and shamed by Ofcom as the service provider that has received the most complaints from British consumers over the first quarter of the year.
In the watchdog's latest quarterly report monitoring consumer complaints against both mobile and fixed-line network providers, EE's broadband service was revealed as having caused the most stress, generating 0.42 complaints per 1,000 customers largely driven by what Ofcom described as "issues related to complaints handling, billing and issues with changing provider".
The report was the first to combine complaints against EE, with those aimed at parent companies Orange and T-Mobile, covering the period of January to March 2014.
In response, EE said it was actively looking at ways to improve its customer service.
"We are committed to improving service levels and have plans to return over 1,000 customer service roles to the UK from overseas call centres, the first phase of which will see two new UK call centres open in the next few weeks," an EE spokesperson told CBR.
"We are of course disappointed but will take on board the findings of this latest Ofcom report as we strive to offer our customers the best possible service."
BT and TalkTalk also recorded a higher-than-average volume of complaints concerning their broadband services, with 0.33 and 0.24 per 1,000 customers, respectively.
Virgin Media received the fewest complaints, with just 0.07 per 1,000 customers, with Sky in second place with 0.09.
Tom Mockridge, Virgin Media's chief executive officer, who recently labelled Sky's broadband service "lousy", hailed the positive news for the company, but said it would not rest on its laurels.
"Whilst it is great to see customers have told Ofcom we are better than BT, Sky and TalkTalk, there is always room for improvement," he said in a statement. "We believe we can do even more and are working hard to deliver the best customer experience every time."
EE's mobile network also fared poorly, taking top spot in the most-complained rankings with 0.12 complaints per 1,000 customers - twice the industry average, with Virgin Media also recording an "above average" number of complaints - 0.07 per 1,000 customers. Three ranked highest for the first time in the report's history, registering 0.04 complaints per 1,000 customers, replacing O2, which had held top position for the past thirteen consecutive quarters.
Claudio Pollack, director of Ofcom's consumer group said: "Publishing complaints data is a key part of our work to provide useful comparative information for consumers, and drive improvements in quality of service across the communications sector.
"The report highlights the performance of providers relative to each other. This is valuable information that consumers may wish to consider alongside other factors such as price and availability, for example, when choosing a provider".

Hopefully someone here can help me.
In the arena that I work I have 76 various crown amps all networked together
with a crown Iq system.
When I open Iq for windows the amps roll call is performed perfectly but after it sits idle for a few minutes I randomly get a messages saying that an amp has gone offline.
After I click ok it will go away but then come back with another amp.
Sometimes there is just one amp but other times there are multiples.
I have not noticed a pattern or one particular amp.
Any Ideas?
Iq software is version 4.16.4
And PIP's are USP2 version 1.002

It sounds like there is a loop problem with either loop capacitance or something is putting noise on the line to jam the loop. Below is a link to the Crown Web site were you can find a posting of the IQ System-Troubleshooting Guide from the old IQ School manual. This guide will help you with troubleshooting an IQ loop system. You will need to build a break out box for the loop consisting with two RJ-45 connector and test two test points for you meters as reading voltages and connecting a scope on RF-45 connectors can be a little hard.

that the true enemy is Islam and its teachings..the fight is against terrorists fed by the ever more prevalent misinterpretations of Islam which encourages more and more terrorist breedingDoes the US have the gutts to declare war on the true enemy and wipe off the face of this world...It was easier with Hitler... one guy who was crazy... now its Islam thats crazy... kill Islam before it kills us
I think the error in your thinking is in your own words....the misinterpretation of the teachings of Islam...I think the religion itself is fine but these radicals that are skewing the message are the problem. We need to attack them...not all of Islam...your talking 800 to 900 million people...how you gonna kill all of them??
I said "kill" the religion not the people... hey, we did it in the past!! it was called crusades in europe and cristianism in americai've seen how fanatic islamists can get...do you have another solution? remember Marx (not all he said was wrong) religion is the opium of the masses
I agree with you that the US is underestimating the size of the problem and even with your solution. BUT the solution may bring the "end times" upon us. Remember we have 20 million Islam followers in the US. Hard for me to see a winning solution to this one. I guess that is where our own faith comes into play. It may take a greater power than our war machine to solve this one.
and they hate us. they have to hate somebody all the time anyways.

Has my black widow laid eggs
My black widow was enormous I thought it had dropsy,this morning I have seen what I would call a white bag at the bottom of the tank,and the fish is back to her normal size,what's happening I'm a novice at this
I am assuming you are referring to a black skirt tetra, so I moved you thread to the correct section of the forum.
The section you posted your thread in is only used for our TOTM competition here.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I think you are getting your black widow tetra confused with a black widow spider, which makes me laugh. Black skirt tetra (black widow tetra) are egg scatterers, black widow spiders use egg sacs. I have no idea what the white bag on the bottom of your tank might be, unless you actually are talking about a spider, in which case, you are on the wrong forum.If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
A moderator on a fish forum should be able to identify an oscar... Don't you think?
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me

PORTLAND, Ore. — Police in Oregon said Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh crashed his car into a tree in downtown Portland but was not injured.
Police said Suh was not impaired and was cooperative with officers after the accident about 1:15 a.m. Saturday. Suh lost control of the 1970 Chevrolet Coupe he was driving, which then hit a curb, light pole, drinking fountain and tree. His vehicle was towed from the scene.
Suh had two passengers in the vehicle. They were not injured.
Suh is a graduate of Portland's Grant High School. He was the NFL's 2010 defensive rookie of the year. On Tuesday, the league suspended him for two games for stomping the arm of Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith.

So what do you do after being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by your biggest rival? Party of course (via Page Six)…
"…after being eliminated by the New Jersey Devils, Henrik Lundqvist, Brandon Dubinsky, Stu Bickel and Mats Zuccarello were spotted partying at 1Oak until late. The following night, Lundqvist and his group joined the rest of their teammates for dinner at Meatpacking District eatery Catch. The crew, which also included Brian Boyle, Brad Richards, Brandon Prust, Michael Del Zotto, Steve Eminger, Ryan McDonagh and Jeff Woywitka, "toasted with beers in hand" and gave each other shout-outs."
One witness said "It looked as if they'd won the championship," while another spy noted, "They worked hard and deserve a beer to celebrate their achievement."
…i know some people may have a problem with this, but I for one do not. The NHL season is a grind and players need to blow off some steam when it's over. Plus this team has a lot to celebrate. Cheers!
It's too bad they couldn't have been wearing this shirt while partying (H/T reader @the_nange)…
For more Rangers Eastern Conference Champion phantom shirts, click here.
…hurts to know this shirt was even produced.
The most suprising part about the late night partying is that Zuccarello was involved. Especially after this quote in a Swedish newspaper (H/T to reader Edvin L. for link & translation)…
"I dont think Rangers have treated me right. When I played here [Rangers] I had the most assist on the power play. This year they have sucked on the power play, and I still haven't gotten to play."
…and this guy was out partying with the team? I'm sorry, while he had glimpses, I think the Rangers were justified in sending him down to the CT Whale both years. Never the standout player he was supposed to be.
…i feel like the Zucc argument is very similar to the Prucha one. Was he not playing because he wasn't performing or was he not performing because he wasn't playing?
For more on the Rangers front office hard at work and how to fix the power play, click the "Read More" tab below.
While the players were celebrating, the front office continued to work as they signed Europen prospect Jesper Fast, formerly Jesper Fasth, to an entry level contract.
Fast told Hockey Expressen (H/T Kevin Baumer) that he plans on staying with his current Swedish team next season before making the jump to North America.
Here's a scouting report on Fast from Elite Prospects…
"Fasth is a very good skater with nice acceleration and top speed. He works very hard, forechecks with impressive intensity and also create a lot of offense thanks to his agility and speed. Has decent hockey sense, technical skills and scoring ability, but it perhaps still more likely to develop into a role player. Is not an overly physical player, but likes to play through rough traffic and does it pretty well."
…i tell you what, that's pretty ballsy to change your name to Fast. He better be or he'll look real stupid. Especially playing for an organization that has speedsters such as Hagelin and Kreider.
…the best part about the scouting report is that he likes to play through rough traffic. Not something you normally read about a European player.
Meanwhile, Larry Brooks at the New York Post feels that Brian Leetch would be the perfect guy to turn around the Rangers dreadful power play…
"It is impossible to think of anyone who would be better in teaching gifted, young defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Michael Del Zotto the art of playing the point than Leetch, truly one of the most accomplished power-play quarterbacks of his time."
Brooks adds that Leetch's strained relationship with Glen Sather will likely keep that from happening.
…while I'd love to see Leetch on the coaching staff it doesn't guarantee that Del Zotto magically transforms into a modern day version of the Hall of Famer. Remember when the Rangers had Messier working with the team on faceoffs two years ago? How'd that work out?
…it's not like Torts hasn't been able to run successful power plays because he has in Buffalo and Tampa. If the player doesn't have the vision to be a power play quarterback, not sure it matters who teaches them.
Finally, Brooks says that with Michael Sauer's status up in the air next season, that the Rangers will go all in on the University of Wisconsin's presumptive free agent Justin Schultz as the first step toward filling that void.
…would love to hear your thoughts on all of this in the comments section.

According to age-old wisdom, there are a couple of things you do not discuss with a friend if you want that person to remain a friend - religion and politics.
Friends, are there any other topics in the Panhandle these days?
The race for Texas Senate District 31 includes several issues that should be of interest to voters - like having water when you turn on the faucet and how much of your hard-earned money will be taken from your wallet to pay for the education of the nearly 30,000 students in the Amarillo Independent School District, not to mention the rest of Texas.
The logical assumption is Joe Voter might be interested in hearing how the candidates feel on these issues.
That's all right.
Ol' Joe is more interested in hearing how the candidates feel about abortion, prayer in public schools and public displays of The Ten Commandments.
Oh yeah, and tell us how many hours you spend each night doing homework and participating in sports activities with your kids. And, before we forget, how is your wife?
Forget Joe DiMaggio. Where have you gone, Teel Bivins? The Panhandle turns its lonely eyes to you.
This Senate race has blurred the line between faith and politics to such a distorted degree that voters must think they're swilling too much wine when they see a campaign ad or hear a campaign commercial.
We have all the cliches.
"Strong family values."
"Conservative values."
"Traditional values."
Personally, these are attributes any candidate for public office has to have to get me to shade a box next to his or her name.
However, that doesn't mean the candidates need to shout their morality and ethical convictions from the rooftops, touting themselves as the saviors of all that is good and pure.
For example, abortion.
There was an interesting discussion on the abortion angle in this race during a Bible study/accountability group Sunday night. (We're slowly working on the accountability thing, but that's another column.)
Of the five to seven men in the group regularly, not one understood why abortion has been made an issue in this race.
If you need proof that these are Christian men, each spends an hour of his Sunday dissecting the personalities of the 12 disciples when they could be watching a football game. What more proof is required?
It has come to a consensus that unless the candidates are using a state Senate seat in Texas as a stepping stone for a U.S. Supreme Court nomination, the abortion rant is about as relevant as Janet Jackson is to the bra industry.
While it is true the Texas Legislature has taken steps, some justified, to address the abortion issue (including a 24-hour waiting period before having an abortion and parental notification for minors), there is little chance of a state senator from Texas getting a 31-year-old constitutional ruling revoked.
As for prayer in public school, retirement would be just around the corner if there was only a dollar for every time this editorial page has had to clarify that as long as prayer is led by students, there's no reason for divine intervention.
As for which candidate is doing the better Ward Cleaver impersonation, both candidates should be hesitant to advertise their willingness to perform fatherly duties that should come naturally to all fathers, literally.
It can be dangerous to take credit for something you should be doing regardless of whether you seek public office.
This campaign critique is not to say that voters do not or should not care about a candidate's personal or spiritual beliefs, or the lack thereof.
To a significant degree, these things determine how a candidate will perform in office.
Voters should hope - if not demand - that candidates are guided by such principles without proclaiming themselves purveyors of righteousness who will ride in on a white horse and save the values that shape the Panhandle and West Texas from the heathens in the Metroplex and Austin.
Tom Ehrich, a writer/computer consultant and Episcopal priest in North Carolina, took the words out of my mouth in a recent column, describing "the inevitable cheapening of election 2004 into a culture war, rather than a referendum on competence, results and policy.
"Hence the dour parade of religious leaders who swoop into this nameless dread, like drug dealers invading a schoolyard, bearing easy answers and low-cost 'rock.' They fix blame, name enemies and encourage scapegoating. They offer simple solutions to complex issues. They divide crowds into Us and Them. They offer leaders who stoke rage and fear. They paint ugly pictures - a culture needing to be cleansed of the not-Us, a faith grounded in rules and revenge while claiming to be advocates of the holy."
Guys, if you want my vote, how about protecting our water and making sure our children receive a properly funded education?
The debate over who is more "holy" is enough to make a guy want to move to Sweden.

What is in this article?:
- More rain causes more stalk destruction delays
- Area affected
Chair of the Cotton Producer Advisory Committee (CPAC) for Texas BWEP Pest Management Zone 3 has asked for and has been granted a cotton stalk destruction extension deadline for all of Zone 3 until November 26, 2013.
More About:
Area affected
Pest Management Zone 3 (Zone 3) consists of three areas:
- Area 1 includes Jackson and Matagorda counties and that portion of Wharton County west of the Colorado River. The standard deadline for cotton stalk destruction in Zone 3, Area 1, is October 1.
- Area 2 includes Austin, Brazoria, and Fort Bend counties and that portion of Wharton County east of the Colorado River. The standard deadline for cotton stalk destruction in Zone 3, Area 2, is October 15.
- Area 3 includes Chambers, Colorado, Fayette, Galveston, Gonzales, Harris, Jefferson, Lavaca, Liberty, Orange, Waller, and Washington counties. The standard deadline for cotton stalk destruction in Zone 3, Area 3, is October 20.
Heavy rains since June have contributed to downgrading the State Drought Monitor for the region. The Texas Drought Monitor rated much of the Upper Coastal Bend and Southeast Texas drought conditions as severe to extreme throughout much of the summer growing season. But as a result of substantial rains since early July, the latest drought monitor released Nov. 12, 2013, indicates drought conditions have now improved to abnormally dry in the Upper Coastal Bend and virtually no drought conditions for most of Southeast Texas.
While rains delayed cotton harvest and stalk destruction this year, officials say they have also restored soil moisture conditions, a positive development for the 2014 cotton crop.

SUMMERVILLE — A new ambulance station might built alongside the town fire station on Trolley Road in the siren busy Oakbrook commuter suburb.
Dorchester County is negotiating with Summerville to subdivide and sell a parcel of the lot where the Waring fire station sits near Dorchester Road. The idea is to provide an ambulance bay, dorm and day room facilities for emergency services crews now staffed at the fire station.
"It's one of our busiest medic areas," said County Administrator Jason Ward. The county already has budgeted money to buy and build the ambulance station.

RFID-based technology for identification and tracking has potential to cut costs and provide strategic information for real-time decision support. To be useful, the generated data must be linked and distributed through the enterprise and the supply chain. We cannot achieve this kind of integration without effectively modeling the semantics of the data. Deficiencies in existing modeling constructs lead us to introduce a supertype/subtype relationship. We also discuss relational implications.

Diamonds Are Neither a Girl's Nor An Investor's Best Friend, Warns Edward Jay Epstein
Should people be concerned about the value of their diamond jewelry?
Absolutely. But people want to believe in something they can carry, an amulet. They don't understand municipal bonds or treasury bills. They do understand, "Here's a magic stone, it glistens, you can look at it, wear it and it'll be worth as much money as you need, on demand." Trouble is, it's not magic, and when you try to sell, often it's worth next to nothing.
Aren't you drastically underestimating the worth of diamonds?
In May there was an article in the Washington Post by a free-lance writer who had just taken around a diamond ring once appraised at $3,950 to 15 local stores. The offering prices ranged from no bid to $750. Of course, spectacular diamonds like the 69.42-carat Taylor-Burton—the kind that sell at auction—usually do go up in price.
But didn't the average investment diamond appreciate at better than 25 percent a year during the 1970s?
Yes. So long as everybody believed paper money was collapsing and diamonds were going up, they did go up. But when they saw diamonds could go down as well, they panicked. A friend of mine bought $3 million in diamonds and finally unloaded them last year for less than $500,000. Diamonds may be beautiful objects of sentiment or status, but they should never be considered as investments.
Why hasn't the price of diamonds sold in jewelry stores come down?
A diamond used for a ring is a commercial grade—with a slight imperfection invisible to the naked eye—and it's now worth about $2,000 a carat. De Beers hasn't yet lost control of the flow of diamonds, but they will soon. And when they do, there will be so many diamonds around you will be able to name your price. Diamond prices have come down a little, but it's still a fixed market, an artificial scarcity.
Why is it an "artificial scarcity"?
Diamonds are simply a form of carbon, compressed under volcanic heat and pressure. From biblical times until the 1870s they were indeed rare. They were usually found at random, often in streams. The number of diamonds in the whole world could be measured in seven or eight ounces. Then diamonds were discovered in South Africa in volcanic pipes, miles-deep pits full of a blue ore called kimberlite. For every ton of it you get so many diamonds. By 1880 four or five South African mines were each yielding one to two million carats a year.
Are diamonds difficult to mine?
Not compared with coal or copper. In kimberlite mines you take them out in an open-pit operation. A steam shovel comes in, picks up the ore and puts it in a truck, which dumps it on a conveyor belt. The separation of ore from diamonds is relatively easy because of the different weights of the minerals. Diamonds don't require a lot of labor or smelting, and you can ship them in an attaché case.
How did De Beers become king of diamonds?
As a young man in 1870, Cecil Rhodes came out from England to South Africa, joined his brother, Herbert, and started working a diamond claim on a farm owned by brothers named De Beers. Rhodes eventually realized that, with so many diamonds coming onto the market, the only way to keep prices high was to consolidate the mines and control supply. By the turn of the century most of the mines were part of De Beers, which gradually bought up much of the diamond distribution network also. Diamonds weren't rare, but nobody knew it because only enough were produced to create the illusion of rarity.
Hasn't anybody ever challenged the De Beers monopoly?
When mines opened around the world that De Beers couldn't control outright, they would just draw on their own profits to buy up as much of the new production as possible, thereby swallowing the competition. Until now the biggest threat to De Beers was the Depression, when people just about stopped buying diamonds. World War II made diamonds valuable again, as abrasive dust used in industry. And after the war, of course, everybody wanted a diamond engagement ring.
What is the extent of world diamond production today?
About 50 million carats a year, and it will be 100 million by 1985. An enormous new mining region in Australia is expected to produce 10 to 20 million carats. New sites have also been discovered in Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana and Guinea.
How can De Beers afford to buy out so much competition?
That's the problem. The Soviet Union and Zaire, already major diamond producers, are both upping their output. I reckon it would cost De Beers $2 billion a year to buy diamonds for the next five years, and I don't think they can find the money.
Haven't the Soviet Union and Zaire sworn not to trade with South African companies?
Hypocritical as they are, the arrangements testify to how lucrative diamonds are. The Soviets aren't going to turn down an enormous cash windfall, and the black African nations have to support themselves. They don't sell diamonds direct to De Beers. The company has set up intermediaries all over the world.
How much of the world diamond market does De Beers still control?
They like to give the figure as 80 percent, though I'd say it's now well under 50 percent. The people I spoke to at De Beers take pride in being able to manipulate the market. Part of the illusion they like to nurture is that they are indeed a cartel, and powerful enough to protect the value of diamonds. If there's a free market, diamonds will seek their own value. So far De Beers has succeeded brilliantly. But I'm convinced the whole illusion is about to shatter.
Would a collapse in diamond prices rock the world economy?
It may be beneficial. In the future an American buying a diamond engagement ring may have to spend only one-tenth as much as he would today—and the savings would go into the U.S. economy, not South Africa's.
What do you think of synthetic gem diamonds?
Experts looking at good fakes and real diamonds with the naked eye often have a hard time telling them apart. If you like sparkle, you can have the most beautiful three-carat fake for $300. People should be allowed to pay whatever they want for beauty. In the diamond market the swindle occurs when consumers—particularly young engaged couples—are led to a quarter-carat stone and asked to spend their savings on this tiny imperfect diamond that can never be resold.
Are diamonds fated to lose their luster completely?
In Holland during the 1630s there was a tulip craze. People thought they were rare, with only so many bulbs around, and incapable of being bred. They paid the equivalent of thousands of dollars for a single bulb. Suddenly the bubble burst and the value of tulips went to seed, so to speak. Within this decade, the same will happen with diamonds.

Howard Brosius is trying to be heard above the buzz of a dozen small children recently liberated from day care. "Who wants some black-seeded Simpson?" he shouts, holding up the ruffled, light green leaves of this 150-year-old lettuce variety.
In a room full of veteran vegetable gardeners, this would provoke a stampede. Here, in a small classroom at Awbury Arboretum in Germantown, the kids have no idea what black-seeded means or who Simpson was. But they know whatever "Mr. Howard" is offering, they want.
At the mention of free lettuce, the pint-size scrum homes in. Each child gets a leaf or two just plucked from growing tubs in the greenhouse-like room next door. The tubs are filled with seedlings the children planted on earlier visits - beets, parsley, basil, mesclun, chives, chard, radishes, carrots, onions and scallions, not the sort of thing you'd think 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds would clamor for.

on April 4, 2013 - 12:01 AM
, updated April 4, 2013 at 7:27 AM
By Larry Beahan
All my life I have lived within a few miles of the world famous Niagara River. It is a magnificent river. I have swum in it, paddled a canoe across it, raced sailboats in it, ridden bikes along it, marveled at its powerful current, photographed its falls, counted its gulls, hiked its gorge, been amazed at its 3-foot-long salmon and proudly taken out-of-towners to it to be mesmerized.
I have also coughed in the polluted haze that hangs over parts of it, tried to ignore its smokestacks and oil silos, avoided eating its fish and wondered at the disappearance of its islands.
One-fifth of the world's fresh water courses through the Niagara River and en route the energy is converted into a vast quantity of electricity. There is a cost to exploiting the river in this way. Much less water goes over the falls, the water level shifts, disrupting marine life and shoreline plants, the natural beauty of the gorge is left with a huge concrete scar and much of the river shore is lined with polluting industry and the brownfields of former industry.
So in 2004, I was pleased to represent Sierra Club in a group of environmental organizations called the NREC, Niagara Relicensing Environmental Coalition. We had a seat at the table during the three-year negotiation to renew the 50-year license for the operation of the Niagara River Power Plant. We came away in 2007 pleased with the $9 million-a-year the New York Power Authority agreed to pay to rehabilitate the river and we were pleased with the accompanying New York State Greenway legislation. That legislation promises a greenway defined as "a linear system of state and local parks and conservation areas linked by a network of multi-use trails" along the Niagara River. We expected finally to have the U.S. side of the river compare favorably to the Canadian side.
In 2013, we have nothing that resembles that promised greenway. More than 100 projects have been funded at a cost of $46 million. The money has been spent in a haphazard way to fund admirable projects, mostly unrelated to the legal definition of the greenway. Three examples of this largess are: a marquee for the Palace Theater in Lockport; a streetscape for the village of Sanborn; and $4.6 million for Lewiston Porter's Athletic Complex.
Our environmental coalition has repeatedly pointed out this misdirection of funds. But until now no one has articulated and publicized the problem and its solutions as effectively as Sam Magavern and his "think tank," the Partnership for the Public Good. Please look at its report, The Niagara River Greenway, Fulfilling the Promise (www.ppgbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/greenway-report.pdf).
The State Legislature must give the Niagara Greenway Commission the funding and the authority to fulfill the greenway promise.
Larry Beahan is conservation chairman of the Sierra Club Niagara Group.

Intravenous Chemotherapy
What is intravenous chemotherapy?
Intravenous (IV) chemotherapy (chemo) is one way to receive cancer-fighting medicine. An IV catheter may be placed in a large vein in your arm or upper chest. It is used to give the medicine into your blood. Some IV catheters can stay in place for many months to years.
What does an IV catheter look like?
Several kinds IV catheters are used to give chemo. One type, called a central venous line, has a small piece that you will be able to see and touch on the outside of your body. The other part of the IV catheter will be inside a vein in your body and you will not be able to see it. Other IV catheters, called implanted ports, are completely inside your body.
How is an IV catheter placed?
Healthcare providers may use anesthesia medicine to numb the area where the catheter is placed. You may have some discomfort after the procedure when feeling returns to the area. You may also bleed or bruise where the catheter was put in. Ask your healthcare provider for more information about this procedure.
How long will I need to have IV chemo?
The kind of cancer you have will affect how long you need to have chemo. You may have more than one medicine given at a time. You may need chemo for a few hours every day, every week, or once or twice a month. Chemo is often given in cycles. This means that you will get the medicine for a period of time, and then you will have a break from it. This allows your body to grow new, healthy cells.
Where will I go to get chemo?
You may get chemo in a hospital, a clinic, or at home. The type of chemo you need will determine where you are treated. The first time you get chemo, you will most likely be in a hospital. This way your healthcare providers can watch you closely to see how you feel during and after treatment. Your healthcare providers can then decide if any changes in the chemo need to be made. If you get your chemo at home, a healthcare provider specially trained in chemo will give it to you.
What tests or treatments may I need during chemo?
Tests will help your healthcare provider see how the chemo is working. It will also help him to see how your body is handling the chemo. Your healthcare provider may order more than one of the following:
- Blood tests: Your healthcare provider will use these tests to check your blood cell count. You may need regular blood tests to make sure organs, such as your liver and kidneys, are working correctly. Blood tests may also show if you have an infection in your blood.
- Chest x-ray: This is a picture of your lungs and heart. Healthcare providers may use these to take pictures of your cancer.
- CT scan: This test is also called a CAT scan. An x-ray machine uses a computer to take pictures of your cancer. You may be given a dye before the pictures are taken to help healthcare providers see the pictures better. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye.
- Blood transfusion: Chemotherapy may cause your bone marrow to stop producing blood cells. You may need a blood transfusion to help replace blood cells your body cannot make.
What are the risks of IV chemo?
- The medicine may leak from your IV. This could permanently harm your skin, vein, or the inside of your body. You could also develop an infection of your catheter or the vein where the catheter is placed. You may have an allergic reaction to the catheter and it will need to be removed. The catheter could move out of the right position, or come out completely. You may also develop blood clots from the catheter.
- You may get a new cancer. With or without treatment, the cancer may spread and be life-threatening.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
- You have a fever.
- You have nausea, vomiting, or no appetite for several days.
- You are very tired and have no energy for several days.
- You notice sores or white spots in your mouth.
- You have constipation or diarrhea for longer than 1 day.
- You bleed, bruise easily, or have small, red spots under your skin.
- You feel depressed for several days.
- Your heart is beating very fast.
- You have frequent, painful urination.
- You have a cough that is new, or that lasts longer than 1 day.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
When should I seek immediate care or call 911?
- You are confused or have a severe headache.
- You have neck pain or a stiff neck that lasts longer than 1 day.
- You see swelling in your chest during or after you get your chemo.
- You notice redness, drainage, or tenderness around your IV catheter site.
- Your arm or leg feels warm, tender, and painful. It may look swollen and red.
- You see blood in your urine or bowel movement.
- You feel dizzy or feel faint.
- You are bleeding and cannot get the bleeding to stop.
- You are weak in your arm or leg, or have trouble walking or seeing.
- You have chest pain, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing.

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP — A judge has dismissed a vehicular homicide indictment against an Atlantic County man accused of killing a teen who vandalized his car.
The judge says prosecutors failed to give a complete picture of what happened in Egg Harbor Township on Sept. 6.
William Simkins' lawyer says the 31-year-old was chasing three teens on bicycles when 16-year-old Jason Broschard swerved into the car's path. Broschard was thrown from the bike and died at the scene.
The judge ruled that information was crucial in determining whether Simkins acted recklessly, which is an element of vehicular homicide.
Simkins fled the scene and turned himself in two hours later.
Assistant Prosecutor Diane Ruberton told The Press of Atlantic City the case would likely be presented to another grand jury.

DETROIT- General Motors Co. has already exceeded its goal of announcing more than $1.5 billion in new investments this year for production facilities in North America.
Following two Wednesday announcements totaling $344 million, the Detroit-based automaker's announced investments total about $1.82 billion with six months to go in 2013.
Bill Grotz, a GM spokesman, confirmed the amount of announced investments with MLive, but would not comment on any future investment plans or announcements.
GM North America President Mark Reuss initially announced the $1.5 billion plan during the Automotive News World Congress in January.
"GM, Chrysler and Ford employ two out of every three autoworkers in the U.S., and base more employees in the U.S. than the competition – by a factor of eight," Reuss said according to prepared remarks for the congress Jan. 16 in Detroit. "For our part, GM has announced North American facility investment of over $10.2 billion since July 2009, creating or retaining more than 26,500 jobs."
This year's announced investments now bring that number to $12 billion since four years ago, when the automaker emerged from a government-backed bankruptcy as part of the 2008-2009 automotive bailout.
Of the already double-digit major production investments announced by GM this year, Michigan has benefited from about half of them to a tune of $537.2 million.
The announced 2013 investments come as GM is set to replace 70 percent of its U.S. lineup this year with new or significantly redesigned models.
The investments impact three countries, a hand full of states and more than a dozen GM facilities. Here's a calendar of the investments with links to more details:

Under the expansion plan, engineering development work currently being done at leased facilities in Wixom, Mich.; Castleton, Ind. and Torrance, Calif., will move to Pontiac. Also, GM R&D's Propulsion Systems Research lab in Warren will relocate to the Pontiac campus.
- $3.5 million to move Performance Build Center, currently located at the Wixom facility, to GM's Chevrolet Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Ky., by the first quarter of 2014.
March 8
- $250 million investment in the CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario to install flexible body shop equipment and tooling, converting the manufacturing facility to support future vehicle production.

Q. Why has the state's collection of vehicle property taxes changed?In 2005, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 1779 to create a combined motor vehicle registration renewal and property tax collection system. The legislation places the responsibility for motor vehicle property tax collection for the state's 100 counties with the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The new combined registration fee and tax collection has become North Carolina's new "Tag & Tax System."
Q. When did the new Tag & Tax System take effect?All North Carolina vehicles were enrolled in the system in mid-2014.
Q. How has the registration renewal form changed? The new form combines information about your vehicle registration renewal fee and your vehicle property tax due. The Tag & Tax System allows you to make one payment for both registration renewal and vehicle property tax.
Q. Did my vehicle registration renewal fee remain the same? Yes. Vehicle registration renewal fees remained at the same annual cost. The only increase in your bill reflects the vehicle property tax amount
Q. When is my vehicle tax due? Your vehicle tax will be due at the same time you renew your vehicle registration. North Carolina law requires that your vehicle property tax be paid in order to renew the vehicle registration. The due date will be printed on the new combined notice that you receive in the mail.
Q. Can I renew my vehicle registration without paying my property tax?No. You cannot renew your vehicle's registration, whether it is leased or owned, unless the total taxes and registration fees on the vehicle are paid at the same time.
Q. What if I lease my vehicle? Do I need to pay my property taxes to the leasing company? No. Vehicle property taxes on leased motor vehicles must be paid in full at the time of renewal. A copy of the combined tag and tax notice is not sent to the leasing company.
Q. Who do I call if I have questions about the value of my vehicle?Please let us answer any questions you may have regarding your vehicle's value:
311 - inside Mecklenburg County, or704-336-7600 - from outside the County.
Q. Can I pay my vehicle property tax at my county tax office? No. Your vehicle tax can only be paid in person at a DMV office. Click to view a map of area DMV Tag Offices.
Q. Am I paying vehicle property taxes for the coming year, or for the preceding year? Taxes due on this notice are for the coming year, covering the same period as the vehicle registration.
Q. What will happen if I don't pay the registration and vehicle tax by the due date? Is interest charged on late payments? State law requires that interest be charged on late vehicle property tax payments and on late registration renewals. Your vehicle will also be subject to citation if it is driven after the tags expire.
Q. How will I know what vehicle property tax I owe?Your property tax will be included on the new combined notice with your county and municipality tax rates and other applicable fees are due.
Q. Who should I contact if I have questions about my vehicle registration?If you have DMV-related questions about your vehicle registration under the Tag & Tax Together program, please call 919-814-1779.
Q. Will I receive a tax refund if I transfer my license plate to another vehicle during the year? No. If you have paid your vehicle property tax for the year and then transfer the license plate to another vehicle, you will not be eligible for a refund of the taxes paid. The registered motor vehicle to which the plates are transferred will not be taxed until its current registration is renewed.
Q. When can I apply for a refund/proration of vehicle property taxes paid? An owner can apply for a refund of taxes paid when a motor vehicle is sold or registered out of state. The refund will be calculated on any full calendar months remaining in the registration period after the license plate is surrendered to the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles. Within one year of surrendering the license plates, the owner must present the following to the county tax office: (1) Proof of plate surrender to N.C. DMV (DMV Form FS20); and (2) Copy of the Bill of Sale or the new state's registration.
Q. Will I have to pay vehicle property tax if I am active duty military? Active duty military personnel residing in North Carolina may be exempt from North Carolina motor vehicle property tax, if their home of record is in another state. To qualify for an exemption, you must present a copy of your Leave & Earnings Statement (LES) to the County Assessor's Office 30-60 days prior to your registration month, and must include your Estimated Time of Separation (ETS) date and home of record. Military spouses: You may also qualify for exemption if your Home of Record is the same as the service member's Home of Record. In addition to providing a copy of the LES as described above, spouses must also provide a copy of their Military I.D. Card and a copy of their out of state Driver's License, Voter Registration card or most current state Tax Return.
Q. Will I receive a notice if I have moved since my previous vehicle registration renewal? Yes. If you reported your new address to NCDMV, you should receive your tag and tax notice at your new address. If you did not notify NCDMV of your new address, you may not receive the renewal notice. If you have moved since your last renewal, your vehicle property tax may need to be recalculated. DO NOT SEND YOUR RENEWAL AND PAYMENT BY MAIL. YOU WILL NEED TO VISIT YOUR LOCAL LICENSE PLATE AGENCY TO RECEIVE A CORRECTED TAG AND TAX FEE. You can change your address by visiting your local license plate agency or by requesting a duplicate registration card online.
Q. Will I owe vehicle property taxes on a newly purchased vehicle? Yes. You may pay vehicle property taxes at the time you register your vehicle. However, if you choose not to pay these taxes at the time you register your newly purchased vehicle, you will receive a Limited Registration and Property Tax Notice stating the amount of the vehicle property taxes due. You will receive a limited registration sticker that will expire after 60 days if the vehicle's property taxes are not paid in full.
Q. Do I qualify for elderly exception to receive a $15.00 partial refund of the $30.00 Charlotte Auto Tax based on my age and income? You may be eligible for the elderly exception if ALL of the following applies to you and/or secondary owner(s) of the vehicle:
To apply for the exception of $15.00, you must complete and submit the form, along with a copy of your prior year State income tax return, within 30 days of the tag and tax notice due date. The Elderly Exception Application is available online. Mail the completed applications to: Mecklenburg County Tax Collector, PO Box 31457, Charlotte, NC 28231-1457.
Questions? For more information about this change, please contact the Mecklenburg County Assessor's Office via 311, or via email at email@example.com


text: Longshoremen 2 Sides In West Coast Ports Dispute Reach Tentative Contract By The Associated Press • Feb 20, 2015 Elaine Thompson / AP Photo Negotiators have agreed to a tentative contract covering West Coast dockworkers, likely ending a protracted labor dispute that has snarled international trade at seaports handling about $1 trillion worth of cargo annually. U.S. West Coast Port Dispute Forces Shippers To Find Alternatives By Jackie Northam • Feb 20, 2015 The global shipping industry is a ferociously competitive business, and the trans-Pacific route — from Asia to the West Coast seaports of the U.S. — is considered one of the most lucrative routes. Normally, cargo ships carrying everything from fruits and vegetables to cars and electronics can count on getting into a berth at one of the 29 West Coast seaports in a reasonable time. Canadian Ports Offer Little Relief For Frustrated Northwest Shippers By Tom Banse • Feb 12, 2015 Walter Siegmund / Wikimedia Commons Listen Listening... / 1:06 The worsening labor dispute at West Coast container ports is causing shippers to search for alternate pathways to and from Asia. An obvious place to look is the thriving port in Vancouver, B.C., but officials there say they can't absorb much diverted traffic. West Coast Port Employers: Lockout Could Be Just 5 Days Away By The Associated Press • Feb 4, 2015 Birdy206 / Flickr Employers could lock out West Coast dockworkers in as few as five days if the two sides do not reach a new contract.

Labor Dispute Halts Some Work on Seattle's Tunnel Project By Ashley Gross • Aug 20, 2013 Ashley Gross / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:07 Seattle's waterfront tunnel project is huge. At its height, it's supposed to create almost 3,900 jobs. In a move that shows how important each one of those jobs is, longshoremen headed out to a picket line to protect four of them. And that labor dispute over those four jobs has caused some work on the project to grind to a halt. Longshoremen to appeal judge's ruling tossing out their arena lawsuit By Ashley Gross • Mar 4, 2013 Listen Listening... / 1:00 Longshoremen in Seattle plan to appeal a recent judge's ruling that threw out their challenge to a new Sonics basketball arena. The longshoremen's union argued that the city of Seattle, King County and investor Chris Hansen violated state environmental laws when they signed an agreement for the arena. They said that memorandum of understanding focuses too much on the site Hansen prefers – in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood. And that's before an environmental review is finished. One Grain Exporter Reaches Labor Deal; Picket Lines At Another By Tom Banse • Feb 27, 2013 There are several new developments Wednesday in a long-running labor dispute between unionized longshoremen and Northwest grain terminal operators. One grain exporter announced it reached a contract agreement, while another locked out its union workers after discovering what it called sabotage. Picket lines sprung up almost immediately in front of the United Grain terminal at the Port of Vancouver, Washington. This, after the terminal operator notified the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 4 of a lock out. Judge throws out lawsuit against Sonics arena By Ashley Gross • Feb 22, 2013 Marie Young-Cain Listen Listening... / 1:05 A King County judge has thrown out a lawsuit aimed at blocking a deal to build a new basketball arena in Seattle.

The University of Hawaii Professional Assembly, the union that represents teachers at UH-Manoa, has filed a grievance trying to block the school's attempt to ban smoking there.
According to a story in KaLeo, the student newspaper, UHPA charged the administration with a "prohibited practice," saying it failed to "consult or negotiate on a subject within the scope of bargaining."
The administration responded that Chancellor Thomas Apple sent a letter to all three university unions (United Public Works, Hawaii Government Employees Association and UHPA) last fall inviting them to a meeting to discuss the ban.
KaLeo quotes Kristen Scholly, health promotion chairman for University Health Services as saying:
"We had an open meeting with all the union reps so we could explain what the policies (were) - we invited them in to look at the draft, ask for their feedback. Two of the three unions came to the table, but UHPA didn't. (The tobacco ban) may not have been on UHPA's radar at that point.
"But then when it was, and they already had the grievance around consultation, to them it was like, 'here's another example when (UHM) didn't consult with us adequately.' ''
Scholley said Apple's letter showed the school's willingness to consult.
"Well, if HGEA and UPW could come to campus and were working with us, how come you weren't there?" Scholley asked.
The Associated Students of the University of Hawaii passed Senate Resolution 05-12: Tobacco Free Campus last February. The Faculty Senate endorsed it last March. So it seems a little disingenuous for the union to claim now they didn't see this coming, or that they weren't consulted.
The KaLeo story said that if UH implements the tobacco ban, it will join 764 other colleges in the country that ban smoking. How strange that a union representing the educators there would oppose it.
A hearing on the complaint is scheduled for today by the Hawaii Labor Union Board.

Art in the city might not have much sex appeal at first blush, but the city and its cultural organizations are way past the dating game.
Much of Philadelphia's economic future is dependent on the vibrancy of the world of its artists and cultural institutions. We're talking a long-term relationship here, not some half-hearted fling.
Several years ago, recognizing the importance of the commitment, Mayor Nutter convened a task force - the Mayor's Cultural Advisory Council - to draw up a plan for the city's future with its hydra-headed cultural partners.
Chaired by Joseph Kluger, former president of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association and now a principal in WolfBrown, a nonprofit consultancy, the task force has issued a "vision plan" seeking to consolidate and focus the city's many arts-related activities, and shore up physical and organizational development to ensure a healthy long term.
