Welcome to the Rahman Lab
My laboratory is interested in understanding the redox signaling, mechanism of proinflammatory gene expression by studying the chromatin remodeling-epigenetic changes (histone acetylation/deacetylation and DNA methylation), involvement of anti-inflammatory and anti-aging proteins sirtuins, HDACs, DNA damage/repair, and cellular senescence in chronic lung inflammatory diseases including COPD. Recent research includes in understanding the role of sirtuins/HDACs in aging and accelerated decline in lung function, cellular senescence, and regulation of circadian genes. Our long-term goal is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory lung diseases caused by environmental toxicants (tobacco smoke, e-cigarettes, oxidants/aldehydes), identifying molecular targets, and the potential benefit of therapeutic interventions in airways disease.

text: 000 FXUS63 KAPX 181502 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 1102 AM EDT Tue Oct 18 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1057 AM EDT Tue Oct 18 2016 Cold front bisecting northern lower Michigan this morning, ushering in cooler (but still above normal) air. Unbelievably warm temperatures this morning, with readings up to 35 degrees above normal in some areas (Wow!). Combination of shortwave energy sliding across upper Michigan and low level convergence along the front, helping to produce a band of mainly light showers across the area. Even a few rumbles of thunder over eastern upper Michigan earlier this morning. For the afternoon hours, showers will gradually be ending from west-east. Clouds will slowly thin out as well, although upper Michigan and the higher terrain of northern lower may be slow to clear. Temperatures steady or slowly falling in most areas - although remaining above normal for this time of the year. The pressure gradient will begin to relax as well, resulting in gradually dissipating winds. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 342 AM EDT Tue Oct 18 2016 ...Cooler air arrives today... High impact weather potential: A few thunderstorms remain possible this morning. Overview: Broad troughiness is in place from the west coast through the Great Lakes with a pronounced temperature gradient and attending strong upper jet streak cutting across the CONUS. Strong short wave impulse/deep surface low and batch of showers/thunderstorms now exiting the Great Lakes quickly through southeast Ontario, and trailing cold front cutting through eastern upper Michigan and down through Wisconsin. Secondary short wave is punching up into NW Wisconsin along with several clusters of post- frontal showers. Here at home, a windy and very warm night with temperatures running nearly 30 degrees above normal for mid October (a warm night even by mid July standards). Winds have been diminishing over the last few hours with the core of strongest winds getting shunted off to the east. Today: Cold front and trailing batch of showers will cross the region this morning. Per SPC analysis, still a corridor of modest instability stretching through lower Michigan ahead of the front, with lightning strikes back across northern Wisconsin moving into western upper Michigan. So, will have to keep at least a mention of thunder in the forecast this morning until the front gets through the area. After that, cooler and drier air will overspread the region through the afternoon, although upstream satellite/obs data and model RH forecasts suggest lower cloud cover will hang around through a good chunk of the day, particularly in eastern upper Michigan. Temperatures should dip downward yet this morning then remain rather flat line through the remainder of the day. Tonight: A clear to partly cloudy night anticipated as surface high pressure overspreads the western lakes region. Much cooler with lows solidly in the 40s, although still a good 5 to 10 degrees above normal for mid October. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 342 AM EDT Tue Oct 18 2016 (10/19)Wednesday...For the day, it looks like high pressure over the warm sector begins to move out of the region, and the cold front moves through. With the sfc low developing in the S Plains, along the main baroclinic zone, in the Ohio Valley, and the 500 mb trough is in the C Plains, will expect that the rain will remain in the Mid- Mississippi Valley during the day. This allows the colder air to begin into push in the Upper Great Lakes, ofter 00z. The models show the 0C air beginning to get into E Upper between 06z and 12z. With the water temperatures still in the mid teens C will expect that the instability will be marginal until closer to 12z. (10/20)Thursday...The cold air advection continues into the day as the 500 mb trough drops into Upper Great Lakes. By 00z, the 850 mb temperatures have fallen to about -3c over N Lake Michigan. This produces more than enough instability for LE Rain. Moisture in the 850-700 mb layer is over 80% in the RH and the 1000-850 mb winds are out of the North. This is expected to remain over the region through the night enhancing the chances for rain in NW Lower mainly west of US-131. Extended (Friday through Monday)...Once the 500 mb trough is east of the Great Lakes, the region gets into a weak NW flow pattern as the 500 mb ridge maintains its dominance over the central part of the continent. This keeps us in around to above normal temperatures and precipitation as we head into the weekend and early next week. This looks to put us into a similar pattern for days 8-14 as well. At this point, it looks like we won`t be getting any snow anytime soon. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 731 AM EDT Tue Oct 18 2016 Cold front will swing through northern lower Michigan this morning, with MVFR cigs overspreading the region. Cigs will gradually improve this afternoon as drier air works into the region, and a return to VFR conditions by evening. Gusty winds this morning will diminish through the afternoon. && .MARINE... Issued at 342 AM EDT Tue Oct 18 2016 Winds have been diminishing over the last few hours and will continue to diminish as we go through the day. Will likely be able to let ongoing Lake Michigan gale warning expire at 5 am. But small craft advisories will remain through much of the day. Lighter winds and waves anticipated through the balance of the forecast. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LH...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY until 4 PM EDT this afternoon for LHZ345>349.

I like Sin Cara. I really do, or at least I used to like his former self, Mistico.
I know the WWE likes to over exaggerate things every once in a while, but the truth is that when it comes to Sin Cara, the WWE is actually understating how popular this guy was in Mexico (and around the world).
There was a time in Mexico when Sin Cara (Mistico) would not only headline every card he was a part of but also sellout arenas. In fact, Sin Cara was so popular that the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awarded him the Best Box Office Draw of the Decade (2000-2009) and placed the Mexican superstar above the WWE's own John Cena.
So what's changed? How did the Wrestling Observer's 2006 Best Wrestler of the Year go from being the hottest superstar in the world to a struggling mid-card wrestler in the WWE?
What small changes can be made to make him a top star again?

'The Hunger Games' proved adept at keeping audiences excited by offering brief glimpses at the movie, and letting everyone know about every casting decision, so it's no surprise that the follow-up 'Catching Fire' is using a similar strategy. We're still more than seven months out from 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' but it's just released two new images.

Agriculture and steam
This museum, dedicated to steam engines and agriculture is unique in its style and displays some interesting specimen of steam powered machines, tractors, steamrollers, threshing machines, etc. . . It is located in an old industrial area near the train station, in an old factory building (a sawmill). The last time I was there with my camera it was closed and can show only pictures from outside, but inside, there is a lot, and you can have an idea visiting their website.
I like the concept of keeping these machines which are history in some way and are also art pieces in another way, and it may be fun to photograph them, which I will do next time I will be there!

Old method of paper making
I visited this paper mill and museum 3-4 times, but without camera. . . Personal picture when I will update. . . . . This is the last working paper mill of Auvergne. They have also a museum displaying artefacts of local life in the past centuries: bedrooms, furniture, kitchen, etc; and of course there is a guided visit in the paper mill which is still working with the water power of a small river. You will discover all the stages of paper fabrication, from the mashing of linen and hemp cloth with impressive wooden hemp-breaking machines to the final product, through the elaboration of paper sheets (looking like parchment) and the drying.
It is located a few km East of Ambert, direction Montbrison, then turn left; there are signs.

A walk along the Dore
The Dore river runs from the Craponne plateau down to the Allier and waters the western part of Ambert. This relatively small river is in places a roaring stream and in other places, a very quiet river. During hot sunny summer days it is quite refreshing and relaxing to walk along the shores of this river under thick foliage; walking tracks are laid out on the shores and you can even make some day hikes to the neighbouring villages (Marsac, 11 km upstream, Vertolaye, 13 km downstream).
A friend of mine told me he made canoeing competitions ages ago, but I did not find information about water sports.
The Dore is also a historical river: its name may come from "or" (gold) having given "doré" (golden), but I panned and did not find any micro nugget; historical because in the 17-19th centuries lots of mills were located on its shores specially paper mills like Richard de bas; Ambert and its area were very well known for the paper industry.
Directions: West side of Ambert, go across the Dore, turn left, park your car and go down to the river. . .

Everything you wanted to know about cheese.
If there is one thing not to be missed in Ambert, it is the Musée de la Fourme, which is much more than the Fourme museum, it is a cheese museum, where you can learn how cheese is done, what sorts of cheese are elaborated world wide, how to serve cheese, well, everything you wanted to know about cheese and did not dare to ask! In this museum a lot of antique instruments or tools are on display, from the wooden bucked used to milk the cows to the centrifugation machine to extract the cream, via lots of dishes used to serve butter or cheese.
In the basement is even a cellar where real cheese is maturated, and you not only look at cheese but can smell it! The visits are usually with a guide, and it is (for me) a little bit a constraint, but the guides know very well what they are telling about, they speak French, German, English, and when your visit is finished, there is even cheese tasting for those who want : 5 different cheeses can be tasted and compared. . .

Saint Jean church
This church is not exactly an architectural beauty, a rather massive construction, of gothic style, from the 15-16th century, with a bell tower from the Renaissance. It is a custom to call it a cathedral, but it is not anymore; sometimes it is called the cathedral of Livradois and indeed, you can see it from almost everywhere in the surroundings from very far. Like for many churches in France, the statues of saints decorating the entrance have been destroyed during the religion wars or during the French Revolution, but the "gargouilles" (gargoyles) featuring devils or freaks have been left. . . The painted windows are not the originals and, if looking nice, the colours are not the ones you may find in some small churches of the surroundings.

Walking around in the old streets.
When you walk in the quiet streets of Ambert, open your eyes; not only you will see half timbering houses, but also old stone built houses, small arches with porches linking streets, the long circular street following the former defensive wall, see old carved doors, and of course lots of shops. Just have a walk. Look also at the street names; for example here, rue de l'enfer: hell street! And there is of course a butcher street; people here love to eat meat and they are right to do so, because in the countryside here, the cattle lives outside and is kept in a very traditional way; picture3 displays the best known (and the best !) butcher of Ambert; he makes also lots of delicatessen and a wonderful "feuilleté à la fourme".

The old houses deserve a stop
The old half timbering houses of Ambert are a bit special: I do not know one which has a right angle between the walls and which has really vertical walls: this is part of the charm of these houses, lots of which are painted in bright colours.
Since a few years they are renovated and I think it is good to keep these houses as they were, and not to make too "drastic" renovations, putting everything square. These houses are all located in the centre of the city in a district just east of the St Jean church; some of these even host offices , like the local office of "La Montagne", the Auvergne daily news paper, but most are living houses or shops. The house on picture 1 is from the 15th century, but most of them are from the 17-18th centuries. Some are still not renovated and may be they are abandoned; you can see the sticks in the wall which act like a core grid for the cob used to build the walls (picture 5).
Directions: In the old city, walk around. . .

"Rendez vous opposite the city hall"
City hall
In one of the novels of Jules Romains, one of the character writes to his friend wanting to visit him: "I will wait for you opposite the city hall, that day, that time". Well, when you see this building, where is opposite. . . ?
This building also called la mairie ronde is a former corn exchange building, erected in the 19th century and fitted out as city hall at the beginning of the 20th century. The basement is used for market on Mondays and Thursdays, the upper part hosts the offices. It is said it is the only circular city hall of the world. . . . I did not see another one!
Well, when the guys eventually met after lots of misunderstanding, they decided to have a drink in each café around the city hall (and at that time, there were a lot as is well known in Auvergne), to test which one would be the best where they will meet next time.
Directions: Upper part od the city, main road to St Etienne

The Parc Naturel Régional du Livradois-Forez.
Ambert by itself is worth a visit but in my opinion, the surroundings are so beautiful that you may spend years before you see every thing, but well, a few days will do it for beginning and if you fall in love with the area, nothing prevents to come back.
A visit to the Tourist office in Ambert would be the best to begin with;
AMBERT OFFICE DE TOURISME ** Pays d'Ambert
Puy-de-Dôme (63) - Auvergne
4, Place de Hôtel de Ville, 63600 AMBERT

All information of what to visit, what to do, where to stay, etc can be found there; careful: do not make home stay reservations too late, it can be fully booked quite early in season, check out on the website.

Deputies hope to arrest suspect in club shooting
CHESTER-Hancock County sheriff's deputies are hoping to make an arrest for a weekend shooting at a crowded Chester nightclub that left one patron injured.
The shooting at the Velocity Club, 2097 Lincoln Highway (U.S. Route 30), happened just before closing on Saturday morning and sent an estimated 200 customers running for cover, said general manager Dawn Bruckman.
"When they heard the shots, everybody just scattered," Bruckman said.
A 32-year-old Pennsylvania woman suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder and left the scene prior to the arrival of deputies, the sheriff's department said. Authorities have not yet released her name.
Bruckman said she believes the injury was a "flesh wound" and that the woman later was treated at Allegheny General Hospital. "Even with all the commotion, there was not one drop of blood in this place," she said.
Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher said the suspect also left before deputies' arrival and that no arrests have been made. "We do have a person of interest, and our detectives are pursuing all possible leads," he said.
Deputies recovered a bullet from a wall inside the club, along with two bullet casings, Fletcher said.
The shooting happened at 2:50 a.m. Saturday, just minutes after bar personnel had called 911 about a fight, Bruckman said. Bouncers broke up that fight, which involved "eight people on top of one guy," only to have to deal with another fight on the dance floor, she said.
Between the fights, a male patron was seen running out the door, Bruckman said.
"What we think happened is: The guy who ran out the door went out to his car and got a gun and brought it back in and fired it," she said. "How was any of us or our bouncers to know that he was going to do that?"
Bruckman said the club employs five bouncers on Friday and Saturday nights and that all patrons are patted down and checked with a hand-held scanner upon entry. She surmised that the gunman took advantage of the fact that the bouncers were distracted by the second fight.
Bruckman said she heard two shots and ran to the office to call the sheriff's department, which already had deputies en route because of the first 911 call.
"When the gunshots went off, we didn't see the shooter. We didn't see anybody get shot," she said. "He done what he done and got the heck out of here."
Bruckman said deputies cordoned off the premises and did not let anyone leave until they were searched. She said no arrests were made.
"It was a good crowd," she said. "We had one bad apple. One mad, bad apple."
In her 12 years as manger, Bruckman said the club has never had a shooting incident like this. "We take every precaution," she said.
Formerly a strip club, Velocity Club still advertises "exotic girls daily" and bartenders who serve in the nude. "That's our niche," Bruckman said.
Bruckman said the club will boost its security in response to the shooting. In addition to five bouncers, she said she wants two stationed in the parking lot and one always at the door.
"I hope (patrons) realize we did everything we could to protect them, and I hope they feel safe coming back," she said. "I'm so glad that it wasn't worse."

Zeus Luther, 14, of Bakersfield, was riding his off-road motorcycle through a Shafter orchard when he hit a tree at high speed.
The 911 recording captures father Allen Luther's frantic call to Shafter police.
Dispatcher: "Listen to me, listen to me, I can barely understand you. I need you to take a deep breath and calm down so I can understand where you're at, OK?"
Sgt. Gustavo Olvera was one of the first responders on the scene.
"We couldn't make sense of what he was telling us because it was a very traumatic situation," Olvera said.
Allen Luther was frantic, so frantic it took officers several moments to determine the family's location.
With every minute that passed, the situation was looking more hopeless.
Dispatcher: "Allen, is there anyone else you can send to the roadway?
Allen: "No, there's nobody I can send to the roadway the rest of them are just kids ... lay down son! Oh my God, what do I do?"
Allen: "Hold still son. Don't worry, we're going to get you out of this. You're going to be fine, I swear. I can already see, you're going to be all right. No! You need to stay still, you might have a broken neck."
After the dispatcher was able to determine their location, help finally arrived.
Allen: "Here they come! They're coming right at me, lady, tell them to keep coming! Wave them down! Alright, they're coming son, help's here."
Olvera and other first responders didn't expect much when they arrived.
"We could tell from past experiences that usually accidents like that don't turn out too well sometimes," said Olvera. "In this case, thank God that it didn't turn out to be that way."
Zeus was taken to Fresno Children's Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
Deputy Chief Brian Smith called that a miracle.
"The final word is always up to God," said Smith. "God's going to make that final determination."
Shafter police also give credit to the dispatcher, Shelia McCaleb.
"In our career, what the dispatchers have to listen to, you hear some pretty horrific calls that come in," said Smith. "This is one of the more serious ones. You can actually see the pain in the father's face without seeing him, just by hearing him."
Zeus' parents have since gotten rid of his motorcycle, but Shafter police are using the accident as a warning to others.
"Learn about motorcycle safety," said Smith. "If you're going to ride, you just have to make sure you're safe and cautious."
Zeus is set for release from the hospital Wednesday.

The narrative begins with three friends struggling and surviving jointly in the bottom of the pile at NIT Kozhikode and going on to becoming friends for life. Venkata Subramaniam Adisankara Tanikaburla aka VSAT, son of a small town educator is like a classic neighbourhood chap with syrupy blots, having interest for some fatale female chattels. He is friends with a covert of his own Adi or Aditya, with an astoundingly short name and Raj Malhotra, a archetypal affluent Punjabi boy, whose father dealt in used cars.
Food, drinks, sleep and computers keep Adi engaged, while Raj is simply too contented to take his families obscure specialties forward. Eventually all of them graduate and by a glad happenstance all four of them, along with Anjali's best chum, Srila, are placed with the same software company, TCS, which is supposed to look after and mind for them and present them lifetime service as per VSAT's US fixated conventional parents. They get to see their son's actual progress when he gets posted in the US, where VSAT also ends up calling 911 while trying to call his home
After the training period Srila moves to Chennai, while the others stay behind in Bangalore and the argot is profound with an attractive exposé of the contretemps among the HR section and their supervisors, where they end up putting themselves in a mess after naming their boss, Mani as Hitler and rechristening their HR head, Amit as Pappu. Their boss of course is of the boss is always right nature and does not go easy on them.
It is from here that the writer truly whirls the anecdote and the montage is very glowingly arranged by providing a glance into the lives of software engineers and their expectations and dreams in an uncertain world providing minute delights of the work pressure, US clientele, workplace politics, staff antics, foibles, heartburn over pay rises, overseas trips, visa japes along with other frivolities in the IT sector.
The cultural conflict among the east and the west is depicted in a witty style and illustrates, what IT concerns are prepared to do to acquire talent, by altering their actions towards employees overnight to be in no doubt that they join and once they do the companies will do everything to retain them, not least bringing out their trump card, an onsite prospect in the US, not wanting to lose staff to competition.
A superbly written engaging, pleasing and a warm hearted amusing read picturising small town and city life, charming locales, amity, anecdotes, heartbreak and jesting laced with drollness and wittiness.

text: All Henderson did in Year 1 was average 20.3 points per game, earning 2013 SEC Newcomer of the Year recognition and leading the Rebels to a 27-9 record, an SEC Tournament title and their first NCAA Tournament bid since 2002. Now coaching and recruiting for Tennessee, Pinkins recently dipped into the JUCO ranks for another first-team All-America shooting guard – Kevin Punter from State Fair Community College in Missouri. The obvious question: Could Kevin Punter have the kind of immediate impact at Tennessee that Marshall Henderson had at Ole Miss? "We hope so," Pinkins said. "I like Punter. We signed him to come in and help us immediately. I think he's a really good player." Chris Lofton, Henderson seems to shoot better from 25 feet with a hand in his face than he does from 20 feet unguarded. Bottom line: Both may have been first-team JUCO A-As but Henderson's game and Punter's game are light-years apart. So are their personalities. Anyone who has seen the hot-dogging Henderson play needs no further explanation. "Punter's different than Marshall; there's only one Marshall," Pinkins said, grinning broadly. Whereas Henderson scores mostly from long range, Punter will get most of his points on drives and mid-range jumpers. Ultimately, how the new Vol scores is less important than how much he scores. Minus four of the top five scorers from last season, the Big Orange desperately needs Punter to light up the scoreboard in 2014-15, much as Henderson did as an Ole Miss rookie in 2012-13. "I don't know if he's Marshall," Pinkins said, "but Punter's a good player." Tennessee's new head coach thinks so, too. He believes Punter can make considerable impact on defense, as well as offense. "Kevin Punter is a very athletic wing player," Donnie Tyndall said. "He can play multiple positions. He's 6-3, maybe 6-4, but he has a 6-9 wingspan. That may not sound like a big deal but that length is really important in our style of play – our press and how we go about doing things in our zone." Long arms are invaluable in a zone defense, tipping passes by careless opponents. "We have a line we always use: 'Deflections lead to steals, steals lead to transition opportunities,' so he's going to be really good (defensively)," Tyndall said. "He can score the basketball in a lot of ways, too. He can put it on the floor and drive it, he can make 3s and he's an unselfish guy. He's a willing passer." Punter is such a willing passer, in fact, that he may be called upon to play some point guard. Combo guard Ian Chiles, a graduate transfer from IUPUI, is the closest thing the Vols have to a point guard, and his only backup at the position is walk-on Brandon Lopez. Can Punter handle a part-time assignment as the Vols' lead guard? "He's athletic enough and his ball skills are good enough for him to play some point for you if you needed him to," Pinkins said. The season is still months away but it appears that Punter will play much the same role for the 2014-15 Vols that Jordan McRae filled for the 2013-14 Vols … the go-to guy at crunch time. "The main thing I like about him," Pinkins said, "is he's a guy you can give the ball and say, 'Go get me a basket.' If you watch teams like (national champ) UConn that made the Final Four, at the end of the day when coaching breaks down and it's about the shot clock, you've got to have guys that don't look over at the bench; they just get the ball and make baskets. "That's what college basketball is turning into: If you can't get a basket off of your early set, once there's 10 seconds on the shot clock, somebody's got to get the ball and make a basket. I think Punter is really good at that." Here's more from Pinkins from InsideTennessee since his hiring:

A strong dollar and even a partial recovery in the United States could be bad news for gold producers like Freeport-McMoRan (FCX). Gold prices for June delivery were down by at least $44.30 an ounce on New York's Comex on Tuesday.
The reason gold prices sunk to an 11-week low was the latest report from the Federal Open Market Committee, or FMOC, part of the Federal Reserve. This committee reported that the U.S. dollar is indexing higher against other currencies and oil prices are lower. This could indicate economic recovery, or at least a recovery in the stock and other investment markets.
Part of the reason for the lower prices is that the committee recommended that the Fed not increase interest rates. That means that the geniuses at the Fed don't think a new round of inflation is around the corner. It has been fears of inflation and a coming collapse of the U.S. dollar that have been driving the demand for gold in recent years.
It seems that the markets aren't paying attention to all of the scare advertising for gold firms on cable TV lately. Instead, they seem to think that the U.S. dollar will remain strong and there will be no inflation. If that's the case, then the price of gold could fall further, and with it, demand.
This change in attitude on markets like the Comex seems to have sent money flowing out of precious metals and back into stocks and bonds. Whether or not this is the beginning of the end, the great gold bull market we've seen in recent years is anybody's guess.
A fall in gold prices could definitely affect gold mining companies like Freeport-McMoRan. The nine month low in bullion prices caused the South African gold mining index to fall by 4.5%. Companies that were affected include Africa's biggest gold producer AngloGold Ashanti Limited (AU) and Gold Fields Limited (GFI), which is the world's fourth largest gold producer. AngloGold Ashanti fell by 4.2%, while Gold Fields Limited fell by 5%.
A loss of market confidence in gold could be bad news for Freeport-McMoRan, which is facing a potential fall in copper demand in its biggest market, China. A fall in both gold and copper prices could hit the company hard.
Particularly worrisome is that there seems to be more to gold's slide than comments from the Fed. The increased production and the glut of gold on the market in recent years may finally be catching to up to the exchanges. The gold market appears to be really vulnerable right now, especially to any fall in demand.
Businessweek blamed part of the reason for the gold price's fall on a strike by jewelers in India. India is the world's largest market for jewelry gold. Indian jewelers walked out in mid March to protest a new tax on non-branded jewelry.
It's obvious that the gold market is on very shaky ground, so expect further price decreases. The effect of lower bullion prices on the major gold producers such as Freeport-McMoRan could be less than we think. Gold, after all, is only a small part of the company's business.
Gold mining could still be very profitable, even with significant falls in the commodity prices. Even with a $44 price drop, the yellow metal was still fetching $1,623.4 per troy ounce on the Comex on Wednesday. That means there's still a lot of money to be made from it.
Freeport-McMoRan seems to think so. It declared a cash dividend of 31 cents per share on March 28. The dividend is payable on May 1. We have to wonder if the company will be able to do the same thing next year. Demand for copper in the biggest customer, China, seems to be falling off.
Freeport-McMoRan is not the only gold company doing well these days. Bloomberg reports that profits at AngloGold Ashanti, the world's third largest producer of the shiny metal, increased by one third. Business at AngloGold Ashanti was so good that the company gave its CEO, Mark Cutifani, a 24% pay increase. AngloGold Ashanti's net income rose to $1.55 billion in 2011, but it didn't meet its production target of 4.69 million ounces of gold per year.
AngloGold Ashanti is spending a lot of its profits on increased exploration. In 2011, the company spent $98 million on Greenfield exploration in 17 countries. It was actually prospecting in such exotic locations as Egypt, Ethiopia, and the Solomon Islands. It is even looking for gold underwater in a partnership with diamond giants DeBeers. In 2012, AngloGold Ashanti plans up to up its Greenfield exploration budget to $108.
AngloGold Ashanti intends to spend $150 million on pre-feasibility studies at its two projects in Colombia, La Colosa and Gramalote. It also intends to conduct feasibility studies at the Central Mongbwalu deposit in the Congo. Since there's lots of copper in that region, it could mean that AngloGold Ashanti intends to enter the copper business and compete with Freeport-McMoRan, which is also developing a project in the Congo.
Another company that seems to think gold has a bright future is Gold Fields Ltd. The company is looking beyond its traditional South African sources with an aggressive program of expansion and development. It has active mines in Australia, the African country of Ghana, and Peru, and it's actively looking for more in Canada, Kyrgyzstan in the former Soviet Union, Peru, and even Finland.
The Gold Fields website indicates that it could give the go-ahead for four additional mining projects within the next 18-24 months. The company has also budgeted $150 million for active exploration. Its's ultimate plan is to increase its reserves to five million ounces of gold.
So, what effect will all of this additional production have on the world's gold market? It will probably drive down the prices. Only a growing marketing could absorb all of this demand, and the market doesn't seem to be growing.
One big question mark looming over the entire gold business is China, where demand has been high. If the Chinese economy slows or contracts, a lot of the additional demand could disappear. This already seems to be happening with copper. The current copper stockpiles in Shanghai currently exceed the Chinese demand.
It should be pointed out here that, unlike copper, the demand for gold is largely driven by emotional or behavioral factors. People buy gold because they don't trust the economy or money. They're afraid of inflation, political turmoil, or a currency collapse, so they put their money into something tangible. If things get bad, people buy gold.
If you adjust it for inflation, the gold price hit its all time high during the uncertain year of 1980. Gold prices were actually higher in 1980 than they were in 2010. It hit another high on June 8, 2010, right after the end of the great economic meltdown of 2007-2008. The reason the metal fetched so much in those times was the fear of inflation and political uncertainty.
Gold demand is largely based on fear, and as uncertainties about the economy decrease, the demand should fall. An interesting point here is that the demand for precious metals often slackens if an economic downturn lasts for a while. People get used to the situation and lose some of their fears. They also begin seeing opportunities in other areas, such as the stock market.
Even the demand for gold jewelry in India, which is driving a lot of the demand for the metal, is based partially on fear. India has a long history of failed government intervention in the economy and confiscation of wealth. People there buy gold jewelry figuring that it is one thing that socialist politicians cannot steal from them.
An interesting point here is that demand for gold could increase if the Chinese economy starts to slow. If the Chinese get nervous about their economic future, they may start buying a lot of gold, particularly if it looks like the Communist Party rule there is about to collapse. Any economic downturn in China could lead to political unrest, which could bring down the regime in Beijing.
Another factor that could again get the gold bull running is the U.S. economy. There's still a lot of uncertainty in the U.S., fueled by the presidential election, high oil prices, and questions about ObamaCare. This could lead to higher demands for gold.
Unrest in China would be good for Freeport-McMoRan's gold business, but bad for its copper and Molybdenum sales, because it would probably mean lower demand. The question is whether the higher gold profits can make up for what the company loses on its other production.

And while public expressions of hate can lead to hateful behavior by the community exposed to these messages, in the case of Israel, it is the discriminatory policies that exist on religious matters that fuel these public expressions and create a reality that does not foster religious pluralism. To begin to change attitudes, therefore, means focusing on a change in policy. There are many policies regarding religion and state that one can focus on, but the most egregious are the rules about marriage.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with the work of the nongovernmental organizations mentioned — and ADL strongly disagrees with groups like Breaking the Silence, which refuse to contextualize Israeli military actions and to consider the hostile climate to which they contribute — accusing them of supporting Palestinian terror is potentially libelous, and certainly undemocratic and dangerous.This kind of incitement against President Rivlin or against left-wing organizations and activists should be rejected and condemned. Israel has tragically experienced what such incitement can lead to. Luckily, many have spoken up.
ADL's office in Jerusalem serves as a liaison to the Government of Israel. It coordinates ADL missions to Israel, and introduces participants to Israel, its politics and people.

Rocket Raccoon and Groot speak in new 'Guardians of the Galaxy' trailer
I've been a little desperate for some new "Guardians of the Galaxy" footage. It seems like the same material from the first teaser has been re-purposed ad nauseam for a number of months now and, this being a pretty bold and risky project from Marvel Studios, I've been very, very curious. Today we got a new trailer for the film and finally get a load of what James Gunn has been whipping up.
I say bold and risky because this isn't "Iron Man." It's not "Captain America." It's not a brand with tons of built-in crossover appeal. So it's still a question as to how it will do at the box office, I think. I can't imagine this would be a "Winter Soldier"-level runaway train, but it's going to be a sweet extension of the universe the company has been building out on film. The geeks will line up. What about the rest?
Anyway, the most significant thing about the new footage, to me, is how gorgeous it looks. Gunn's color palette sets itself apart from the other Marvel films (which tend to have a same-y, not all that inspired look, to be honest). We also get more of Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon and hear Vin Diesel speak as Groot for the very first time, I believe (the latter speaking in a "language" in which countless different intonations of "I am Groot" have countless different meanings).
And they're still getting a ton of mileage out of the Blue Swede, eh?
Anyway, check out the full trailer above and tell us what you think. Are you stoked for the film? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" opens Aug. 1.

(NBA) Canada Hunts New Victims Of Hurricane TORONTO 1-PyDisaster workers renewed their hunt today through crushed homes and water-filled cellars for victims of the last le- thal blow of Hurricane Hazel, known to have killed 57 persons in Canada. Thirty-six others were missing. The death toll for the hurricane in Canada and the United States, with 98 fatalities, rose to 155. As confusion cleared in the flood- stricken Humber River Valley, 28 persons listed as missing were found safe. Most of the 28 had been included in a list of 21 an- nounced at midnight by officials in the" Toronto suburb of Etobicoke, where the Humber flood took its heaviest toll. Estimates of the damage from the flood in the Toronto area run as high as 100 million dollars. Hurricane Hazel, the worst storm, in Ontario's history, struck this area Friday night. Stirred in the Caribbean, it earlier lashed Haiti and then cut a wide swath: across the Carolina's and the eastern United States. Most of the deaths in Canada oc- curred along the Humber River, which flows along Toronto's west- ern outskirts 'into Lake Ontario. More than 7 inches of rain Friday night turned the river into a raging torrent that trapped victims in homes and automobiles. At one point the river swept across a bend in its course and roared through Etobicoke Town- ship. Nineteen homes were swept away on a single street there. Authorities said last night ghouls were reported searching bodies for jewelry and money in the outlying areas of Woodbridge. Thistle Town and northwest York. Squadrons of police and military guards were rushed to the arsa. Fifty-three of the dead had been identified last night. All but a few of the known casualties were in the suburbs of Etobicoke. Wood- bridge and Weston, ail along the Humber. The city of Toronto proper suf- fered no casualties.

Negro Pupils Return to Own School MILFOKD. Del. Negro pupils, ousted from Milford's all- white high school, today obeyed an order from the Delaware State Board of Education and reported for classes at the all-Negro high school at Georgetown. 16 miles south of here. The state board had ordered them to the William C. Jason School yesterday and arranged for transportation. James Webb, prin- cipal of the William C. Jason School, said their enrollment was only on a temporary basis. He said they will go there only until the controversy over attend- ing the all-white school here is settled in the courts.

(NBA) Ohio River Flood Threatens Towns MARIETTA, Ohio U) Flood crest of the rain-swollen Ohio River passed this city today, causing lit- damage. But it swept on down- stream threatening other commu- nities after chasing thousands from their homes in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. The State Highway Patrol report- ed at 9 a. m. that the river was stationary here at 37.55 feet, about a foot and a half above flood stage. Water Rising In the Belpre, Ohio, and Parkers- burg, W. Va., area, 15 miles down- stream from here and 184 miles downstream from Pittsburgh, the water was rising at dams 17-18-19. But the worst of the flood appeared over. The river crested at Wheeling, W. Va., at 44.7 feet yesterday, that city's biggest flood since March 8, 1945, when the Ohio reached 47.3 feet. The patrol said it did not have to evacuate any families in the Marietta area, although some 25 families had moved out of the low- lands' to higher ground. Merchants in this southeastern Ohio city of hoisted stocks from base- ments to upper floors, and several roads were dosed. Some schools along the river were dosed be- cause of flooded roads. At Parkersburg, W. Va., the river stood at feet this mom- ing, was rising at the rate of a ing, was rising at the rate of a tenth of a foot per hour against a flood stage of 36 feet. At Pomeroy, Ohio, the river was at 38.8 feet, rising a tenth of a foot an hour. At Dam 28 below Huntington, W. Va., the river stood at 36 feet, rising at the rate of 529-enths of a foot an hour against a flood stage of 50 feet. The final flood threat is expect- ed at Dam 22. about midway be- tween here and Huntington, W.Va., where the River is scheduled to crest at 45 feet tomorrow. Flood stage is 44 ft.. Flood damage at Wheeling was estimated in the millions by Col. J. L. Person, Ohio River division engineer. More than 400 families left homes in Jefferson, Belniont and Monroe counties in Ohio over the weekend as rain water sent over Pennsylvania mountains by Hurri- cane Hazel filled the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. Those rivers form the Ohio at Pitts- burgh. The Ohio crest at that point Saturday night was 32.5 than 5 feet above flood damage reportedly was light. Col. Person credited flood con- trol systems installed above Pitts- burgh with saving that city some 80 million dollars. Without these controls the flood would have been one of the great- est in the history of the Ohio, he said. At least four persons were killed by turbulent waters in the Pitts burgh area. There have been no other reports of Ohio River flood casualties. Some 400 persons evacuated homes in Wheeling. Farther downstream, the Wheel- ing News-Register reported, families evacuated. About one fifth of Bellaire. Ohio, was under water, and 60 families left homes there. Clarington, Ohio, an agricultural community of 500 about midway between Wheeling and Marietta, was covereed by 6 feet of water. Some 100 families left their homes.

Sondlin Picks 31 Advisors For Grass-Roots Control Jury Hearing testimony on Man's Sanity A sanity hearing for George Thomas Firth, charged with irmed robbery, opened in 42nd >istrict Court Monday morning be- ore Judge O. L. Parish of Bal- linger: Firth is Ender indictment for the robbery of R. H. Baber, em- loye of Sunbeam Super Market, 682 Pine last Feb. 10. Barber was robbed of in cash while King held'at gunpoint. Barber picked Firth out of a wlice line-up in Fort Worth as he man who robbed him. Bert Ashby, Dallas attorney rep- resenting Firth, .placed three wit- nesses on the stand in an effort o show that the man has been of unsound mind virtually all of his life. Dr. Thomas W. Grice of Fort Worth, who said he is both a med- cal doctor and a specialist in psychiatry, testified that he ex- amined Firth last Saturday after- noon and found that his "general reflexes indicate mental derange- ment." Dr. Grice termed Firth a schizophrenic and a victim of dementia praecox. The doctor stated that Firth's mother had told him that seven months before Firth was born she contracted a disease and had a difficult time during, his birth. Dr. Grice said he has found that a mother's mental condition before and at the time of a baby's birth has an effect on the child's mental state. Minister. Wife Testify The Rev. and Mrs. E, L. Dorris of Big Sping testified they have aiown Firth since babyhood and that they believe him to be of un- sound mind. Mrs. Dorris is Firth's maternal aunt. Mr. and Mrs. Dorris gave sim- lar accounts of Firth's "unusual and anti-social" conduct through- out his life. Both said he was moody and melanchly in child- hood and that he has never wanted o associate with other people. They told of his having been in court at about 14 or 15 for taking a pair of rubber boots. In brief questioning of the three witnesses District Attorney Wiley Caffey attempted to show that knows the difference be- ween right and wrong. In answer o his questions Mr. and Mrs. Dor- ris said Firth had refused to tell them'where he got the boots ami that later they learned from of- 'icers that he had taken them from a warehouse. After a hypothetical question in which Caffey outlined the circum- stances of the robbery of Baber ast February, Dr. Grice answered hat he thought the man "would lave had some definite plan in mind" commit the robbery. If the jury hearing Firth's san- ity trial finds him insane he will not be tried on the robbery charge. If the panel returns a verdict that w is sane he will stand tria! be- fore another jury. In an unprecedented action, Chairman George W. Sandlin of Austin named 31 advisors who will work with the committee in the grass-roots efforts by Gov. Allan Shivers to maintain firm control of party affairs. The advisors included such top political figures as Claude Gilmer of Rocksprings, former speaker of the Texas House of Representa- tives and leader for the Democrats for Eisenhower organization in 1952. Sandlin also announced another brand new gimmick in Texas poli- tics: the committee itself will meet every 90 days between now and May, 195S, when the state, presi- dential convention will pick dele- gates to the national convention. Shivers has made it plain that he wants Texas to send a conserva- tive delegation to the national con- vention to fight for states' not only for Texas but for all 48 states. He is making a bid for support in his new states' rights crusade from every section of the nation. "The advisors will help us keep in touch with what is going on in the districts. We have selected peo- ple who have been helpful to us in county and precinct conventions." Sandlin said that future meetings of the committee would be held in widely separated parts of the state in order that the committee could beep in ctose touch with political affairs everywhere in Texas. .Today's meeting of the executive committee was the first since the 100 per cent pro-Shivers group was. named at the September 14 Miner- al Wells state convention at which Shivers nailed down his victory in the governor's race by taking over full control of the state party ma- chinery. Sandlin named Earl Rudder of Brady, chairman of the organiza- tion committee. Its advisors in- clude Gilmer, Jack Finney of Greenville, and W. R. Beaumier of Luffcin. H. H. Coffield of Bock- dale was named chairman of the inance committee, Mrs. F. E. Hoi- man of Taylor, chairman of the unctions committee, and-Elmer Ware Stahl of San Antonio, chair- man of the legal committee. Also among the advisors named Soday were Howard Hartoog of Port Lavaca, former member of the Legislature; Horace Blalock of Marshall, longtime conservative Democratic leader in East Texas; Howard Carney of Atlanta, former state senator and secretary of state; Charles W. Duke of San An- tonio; Curtis Douglas of Pampa; Tom Sealy of Midland, chairman of the Board of Regents of the University of Texas. Also among the advisors were Johnnie Herrington, Palestine; Mi- chael Elliott, Sherman; E. H. Thornton Jr., Galveston; J. Stan- ley Monroe, Denton; R. H. Coffee, Vernon; L. A. Douglas, San Anto- nio.

Worth FORT WORTH W-A Fort Worth man today said was with David Hagler in the late afternoon of the day Hagler said he left here for Oklahoma. John Smith, 47. told a Star- Telegram reporter that Hagler jried to hire him as a driver on a trip out of town in a station wagon. This was late Saturday afternoon, Oct. 9, the day Hagler says he left for Oklahoma.

One of the men he says he picked up was Smith. Hagler says he met Smith and another man in a down- town bar. Smith, he says, needed a ride to his home in Arlington. Hagler offered to drive him there in his station wagon. Together with the other maa he met in the bar, Hagler says he drove Smith to Arlington and left him at his home. Then, he says, he and his other drinking partner met a third man in a bar near Grand Prairie. It was this man, paired with the drinking companion from the Fort Worth bar, who robbed and stole the station wagon, Hagler contends. The station wagon was found burn- ing Oct. 10, with a charred corpse of a man inside. Smith Monday disputed Hagler't story on several points. He gave this account: He did not meet Hajter in a bar.

Reservoir On Hubbard Creek Asked Construction of 500 Wherry houses on Abilene Air Force won't be sponsored by Abilene Chamber of Commerce, directors voted unanimously Monday morn- ing. The board also decided unani- mously to recommend to the City Commission that the city push con- struction of a huge water reser- voir on Hubbard Creek. In the other action of the morn- ing, directors voted that the ap- proximate profit the C-C realized from this year's oil men's party be placed in a special re- serve fund. It will be earmarked for use toward expenses of next year's party. Decision on the Wherry housing was an endorsement of a recom- mendation made .during the meet-. ing by French Robertson, chair- man of the C-C committee on Wherry housing. Assistance Pledged Directors authorized Robertson's committee to inform the Air Force of the C-C's decision to keep hands off the construction of the base bousing The motion stated, how- ver, that the C-C "stands ready to lend our full assistance to ex- pedite the letting .of a contract" for the construction of the houses.

At Lincoln, Nebr., the C-C created a fund .which can be used to purchase the homes from mili- tary personnel who are unable to dispose of them anywhere else.' At Plattsburgh, N.

Alexander Blade, whose name you may recognise from the likes of Sanny Builder and CLEO, has started work on a new scripting project for GTA IV entitled Alice. In similar fashion to CLEO, Alice allows you to create scripts for GTA IV in a programming language called LUA, the download itself contains three examples including a Superman (God Mode) script, save anywhere, and the ability to view/read co-ordinates. Since Alice has just been released we don't have any mods available for it yet, though we're sure it's popularity is only going to increase over time. Download Alice.
