In July 2011, our Curator of Entomology, Dr. Brian Brown, brought in some old redwood he had lying around his yard. He wasn't just trying to pawn off some lumber he didn't need anymore, we wanted it to make some bee hotels. Jerome Brown, one of our amazing exhibit technicians, fabricated two hotels and Phil Bouchard personally drilled the over 200 quarter inch holes (about an inch deep). Thanks guys!
Bee hotel in its new home by our hummingbird feeders.
This spring we finally saw the first bees using the hotels! I was so excited, I jumped up and down, Brian did not, he just smiled. We watched as bees checked out the little holes and then I saw two fall to the ground. "Oh look they're fighting," I exclaimed. "No," Brian responded, "they...

Austin Country Club
Austin, Texas
July 5-8, 2004
AUSTIN, Texas â Kimberly Meck of Austin, Texas, came through for the home crowd in Tuesdayâs first round, firing a 4-under-par 68 and taking a two-stroke lead in the Girls Division of the PING Harvey Penick Junior at Austin Country Club. In the Boys Division, Lance Lopez of Missouri City, Texas, also carded a 4-under-par 68 to take a three-stroke lead.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the PING Harvey Penick Junior is being held at Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas. The 54-hole event features 120 players from 11 states and Mexico, including 100 from Texas. The tournament is highlighted by second-team Rolex Junior All-Americans Jeff Gerlich of Austin, Texas, and Lauren Espinosa of Hickory Creek, Texas, third-team Rolex Junior All-American Lance Lopez of Missouri City, Texas, and two honorable mention Rolex Junior All-Americans, Michael Randle of Austin, Texas, and Stefanie Page of The Woodlands, Texas.
Meck opened her round with a bogey at the par-5 first hole and immediately changed her mental approach.
âI was thinking that I needed to relax and just put it in play in the fairway,â Meck said. âI swung more relaxed and started knocking approaches close to the hole.â
Meck rallied to shoot a 2-under-par 34 on the front nine, then went on a tear with birdies at Nos. 10, 11, 13 and 15 to take the outright lead.
âI just tried to stay focused and have fun,â Meck said. âItâs a really good feeling because all my support is in this city â itâs great having friends and family out here to support me.â
Michaela Cavener of Tulsa, Okla., holds second place by four strokes with a 2-under-par 70, and Taylore Karle of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Lauren Espinosa of Hickory Creek, Texas, each carded a 74.
In the Boys Division, Lopez jump-started his round with a birdie at No. 1, then birdied Nos. 6 and 8 to get to 3-under-par on the front nine.
âMy birdie at No. 1 really gave me adrenaline to keep going,â Lopez said.
On the back nine, Lopez bounced back from a bogey at No. 13 with an eagle at No. 15, then coasted in to complete his solid round.
âMostly it was my short game that did the job â I only hit 10 greens,â Lopez said. âMy putting is the strongest part of my game right now.â
Lopez, who finished second at the PING Harvey Penick Junior last year, said he has to continue to manage the course well to win.
âYouâve got to be able to miss in the right spots and make pars,â Lopez said.
Will Griffin of San Antonio, Texas, shot a 1-under-par 71 and was the only other player to finish in red numbers. Four players are tied at 72, including Jason Schulte of Kansas City, Mo.; Kyle Redman of Southlake, Texas; Nick Williams of New Braunfels, Texas; and Michael Randle of Austin, Texas.

No. 3: Conquer something
Fathers love recognition for who they are and what they accomplish. This gets ratcheted up now that there's little eyes looking back at him -- he wants them to be proud eyes. A man's "take-over-the-world" fantasy gets traded in for something actual and real, and an investment is made wherever he is.
The stereotype is the father trying to win the neighborhood house-decorating contest. But the truth takes on a hundred forms: his awesome barbecue, his immaculate lawn, coaching his son's Little League team.
Through these efforts, we got to see the joy and dedication our fathers enjoyed.
Maybe they didn't conquer what they strove for, but that's not what really matters. It's in the effort that the lesson is learned. It's the script given for how we can enjoy life, and hopefully conquer something ourselves.

Being dead doesn't always have to be boring.
No, instead of just lying peacefully in your tomb or coffin, a Swedish company is now giving people the chance to play music for the dead through Spotify.
Pause Ljud & Bild recently introduced the CataCombo Sound System as "life after death entertainment" for "audiophiles on the other side," according to an advertisement on the site.
It consists of the CataCoffin, the CataTomb and the CataPlay.
The CataPlay app is connected to Spotify, which then pipes music into the two-way speakers and 8-inch subwoofer of the CataCoffin, according to the Toronto Star.
The songs playing can be displayed on a screen on your tombstone through the CataTomb, also the music server and amplifier.
Yes, it sounds crazy. But what's even crazier? The price.
The CataCombo Sound System is listed at 199,000 Swedish kroner, or about $30,000.

Are we killing the environment or is it killing us? When we look at what we eat and how we grow it, we find extensive evidence for damage both to our food (from pollution and soil depletion) and to our environment (from the toxicity of growing foods industrially).
Americans demand cheap food, so American agricultural policy for the past 30 years has focused on providing large amounts of inexpensive calories. Two of the cheapest sources of calories are corn and soy, which the federal government has long subsidized and which make up a large percentage of our caloric intake today (often in the form of high fructose corn syrup or soybean oil). Corn is also a large part of the diet of the animals we eat.
Corn and soy are prized because they can be efficiently grown on vast farms. But growing just one crop consistently (a monoculture) depletes the soil and forces farmers to use greater amounts of pesticides and fertilizers.
The effects of pesticides and fertilizers on natural wildlife and our water supply is well-documented. Currently, the "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico, where no fish or other animals can live, has grown to 8,543 square miles, the size of New Jersey. This is due to chemicals in the Mississippi River, particularly fertilizers, as it flows into the Gulf.
Pesticides and herbicides are environmental toxins, known as xenobiotics.
Xenobiotics include not only pesticides/herbicides, but plastics (bisphenol A), surfactants used in food packaging, household chemicals, industrial chemicals (PCBs and dioxins), and heavy metals (lead, mercury, and cadmium). These products have been shown to have a negative impact on animal health.
One group of xenobiotics is made up of environmental estrogens, referred to as xenoestrogens, which mimic animal hormones and act as endocrine system disrupters. Like other xenobiotics, they come from pesticides/herbicides and other chemicals. They are in our food, our water, and our air. Once in our body, they are not easily broken down.
Xenoestrogens have been associated with developmental issues and reproductive health problems in wild life and laboratory animals. Among the effects documented in a 2006 study of these environmental xenoestrogens are male fish that express female characteristics, turtles that are sex reversed, and male frogs with multiple ovaries. Researchers have also documented seals with an excess of uterine fibroids and salmon with enlarged thyroids.
In humans, xenoestrogens mimic the effect of human estrogens because they have a chemical structure that allows them to fit into estrogen receptor sites. But once there, they cause issues. According to a 2006 study, they can prevent normal hormone binding to hormone receptors, influence cell signaling pathways, and increase cell division.
Xenoestrogens are just one example of how pesticides and other toxins that humans use in food production are impacting our environment and our health.
Increasingly, the food Americans eat comes from far away. Shipping our food long distances and processing it not only contributes to air and water pollution, but depletes the food of nutrients.
Ecologically speaking, we are squandering the nutrients taken from the soil. And we are not replacing them fully. Commercial fertilizers focus on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, but provide little else, so they essentially simplify the biochemistry of the soil.
We have broken the ecological link wherein the nutrients from the soil used in growing food are consumed locally and then returned to that soil as compost and other waste.
The USDA (US Department of Agriculture) has been tracking the nutritional quality of produce since the 1950s and has seen a steady decline. According to Brian Halwell, a researcher for WorldWatch, vitamin C has declined by 20 percent, iron by 15 percent, riboflavin by 38 percent, and calcium by 16 percent. So we are now getting less nutrition per calorie in our foods. In essence, we have to eat more food to get the same vitamin and mineral content.
This is probably due to a combination of factors, including the depletion of nutrients in the soil through monoculture and the use of fertilizers, which simplify the biochemistry of the soil.
This simplification of the soil in turn makes plants more vulnerable to pests, so farmers need to use more pesticides, which introduces those chemicals in our bodies and in our air and water supply. We will look at some of the impacts on these environmental toxins in a minute.
Plants treated with pesticides also don't produce as much of their own phytochemicals to protect themselves from pests. These plant chemicals are greatly beneficial to humans (see What Do Specific Foods Do? [4]).
Note that organic foods are an exception to this discussion-they don't include contaminants and it is likely that they have more phytochemicals. (And they don't contribute to environmental pollution as much.)
Diseases often result from a complex interaction between an individual's genetic make-up and environmental influences. Genetic makeup also determines how a person might respond to environmental xenobiotic exposure.
The functional capacity to metabolize and excrete toxins varies from person to person. This explains why some individuals have a fairly low risk of developing a disease as a result of an environmental exposure, while others are much more vulnerable. The Environmental Protection Agency's Report on Environmental Pollution and Disease indicates that the following common diseases and conditions may be strongly linked to environmental exposure: asthma, autism, breast and other cancers [5], lung disease, Parkinson's disease, and conditions associated with reproductive health.
The Genes and Environment Initiative is a five-year, National Institute of Health effort to identify the genetic and environmental basis of asthma, diabetes [6], cancer [5], and other common illnesses. This initiative will support the development of new procedures for analyzing genetic variation in groups of patients with specific illnesses, and new technologies for measuring exposures to chemical and biological agents, among other things.
Humans are at the top of the food chain. Because of this, we are generally not exposed to a single toxin at a time, but to a complex mixture of toxins. This includes pesticides and other environmental chemicals from multiple sources: animals and what they've consumed, plants and their exposure to chemicals, as well as our direct contact with contaminants in the soil, water, and air. It is largely unknown how these multiple toxins interact with one another and where the threshold for simultaneous exposures or cumulative effects might be.
How an individual's body handles exposure to toxins determines the health of the body. Excess toxins may make it difficult for the body to properly carry out essential functions.
Fortunately our bodies are equipped with a detoxification system designed to manage toxins and help maintain health when exposed to harmful substances. This system converts toxic substances to nontoxic substances and excretes them, primarily in the intestines, the liver, and the kidneys (although many other tissues are involved).
Toxicity occurs when the detoxification system becomes overloaded with more toxins than can be eliminated. There are many signs that the body's natural detoxification system may be overloaded; these signs include headaches [7], fatigue, muscle pain [8], skin rashes, and digestive problems [9].
For centuries, many cultures have promoted detoxification for healing and religious purposes. In today's culture, this concept may also be a matter of necessity. Because of the daily bombardment from an increasing number of toxins in our external environment (including additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients in processed foods), our detoxification system's capacity to handle these toxins may be surpassed.
Minimizing exposure to toxins is important, but equally, if not more important, is the role diet plays in combating toxicity. Nutrients can provide information and materials to the detoxification system so it functions optimally. By making dietary and lifestyle changes, you can not only decrease toxic load, but also increase the ability of the body to clear toxins.
You can increase the ability of your body to convert toxins to non-toxic substances and to eliminate toxins by doing the following:
Foods to avoid or minimize as they add to the toxic load or burden of the detoxification system.

Study: Transgender Native Americans Experience Discrimination at Worst Rates
Bias faced by transgender and gender non-conforming people extends into virtually all aspects of their lives, according to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF). But the organization's most recent transgender discrimination survey, produced in collaboration with the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), reveals that transgender Native Americans experience prejudice at the worst levels.
"Injustice at Every Turn: A Look at American Indian and Alaskan Native Respondents in the National Transgender Discrimination Survey" is the fourth and final piece in a series of reports created to shed light on the pervasive discrimination against transgender people of color. Over a six-month period, 6,456 transgender and gender nonconforming people responded to a 70-question survey about their experiences of discrimination and abuse at home, in school, in the public sphere, and in the workplace, as well as with landlords, doctors, and public officials, including judges and police. Among the respondents, 350 identified their race as American Indian or Alaskan Native, including those who identified as mixed race.
Many expressed their gender in culturally-specific ways, such as "Two-Spirit" or the Navajo, "nádleehé," although the study used the overarching term "transgender and gender non-conforming," acknowledging its limitations.
The NGLTF deliberately released its latest report on October 8, Columbus Day, with the intention of underscoring the "circumstances that American Indian and Alaskan Native people experience due to a history of colonialism and genocide"—an injustice that continues with a federal holiday that celebrates the so-called "'discovery' of America."
"This report shows the devastating impact that racism and anti-transgender bias play in the lives of American Indian and Alaskan Native transgender people," Rea Carey, NGLTF's executive director, said in a press release. "The findings are as heartbreaking as they are unconscionable. They serve as a call to action to the LGBT movement and others to prioritize racial and economic justice and the needs of indigenous nations."
The report shows how racism and economic marginalization can compound with anti-transgender bias. Of survey respondents, 23 percent reported a household income of less than $10,000 per year, compared to 15 percent for transgender people of all races. The rate is triple that of the general Native American population (8 percent) and nearly six times the general U.S. population rate (4 percent).
The unemployment rate for Native American transgender respondents was 18 percent—more than twice the rate of the general population (7 percent) in 2008, when the survey was fielded.
Native transgender students reported rates of harassment at 86 percent, physical assault at 51 percent and sexual assault at 21 percent in K-12. Suicide rates for transgender Native Americans reached 56 percent, in comparison to the 41 percent rate of all study respondents.
"These findings underscore the importance of recognizing that Two-Spirit, trans and gender non-conforming American Indians and Alaskan Natives are a significant and too-often-marginalized part of LGBT communities, and communities that face substantial and sometimes unique challenges," said NCTE executive director Mara Keisling. "This research contributes to our long-held belief that policy makers must understand and act on the deep disparities that exist within people of color communities."

Dems also face murky future
Republicans tend to receive more attention than Democrats on the topic of their future. But perhaps it might be instructive to examine what the Democratic Party faces in President Barack Obama's second term. While the GOP is constantly scrutinized, it is important that the Democrats are also held under the political microscope.
Obama can point to some achievements. The Affordable Health Care Act is at the head of the list. But other Democratic priorities – generally those that strive toward economic issues or what some on the left would call social justice – have been unaddressed. Unemployment remains stubbornly high and incomes stagnate. With the 60-vote threshold in the Senate and a Republican House of Representatives the forces of austerity are very much in control.
But Democrats may be getting restless with the second administration that has lip-synced the party philosophy without supplying a genuine voice. Parts of the party have been allowed to stagnate – notably organized labor. Labor membership is a pathetic 7 percent of the work force. For almost 50 years, the Democrats have neglected an important part of their coalition while cozying up to investment bankers and capital exporters.
What the party faithful have gotten is a steady diet of social issues. While gay marriage, civil rights and women's rights are important, they are not the only factors keeping Democrats viable. Immigration helps to keep some voting for the party but it will not sustain it in really bad times. The same goes for all the other constituent groups.
Obama has not made a major economic speech for some time, preferring to emphasize gun safety and assorted social issues. Those workers seeking some relief can easily be tempted by Republicans, who preach supply side. Employment is better even if it comes with wage stagnation as its price.
Since the 1960s, Democrats have been as addicted to consumer spending as the prime vehicle of economic growth as any Republican. The 1964 tax cut spurred tremendous growth, but it did it at the expense of investment in planning and long-term consideration. Certainly Ronald Reagan's tax cut of 1981 did the same thing. Essentially there has not been a dime's worth of difference between either party on the economy. Stimulus either directly or by the Federal Reserve is consumer pump primary and not a good guarantee of long-term growth.
However, there is a crucial difference. Republicans do not necessarily depend on wage earners' votes, Democrats do. As Mitt Romney says, the "47 percent" are not disposed to Republicans. But as Reagan proved in 1980, if they get desperate, workers might try any path that works.
For Obama and the Democrats, keeping them home is their great challenge.

Washington D.C.
Faith and Freedom Conference and Strategy Briefing.
Mitt Romney will be there.
A top strategist for FFC tells The Brody File that Romney will be speaking at the event on Friday June 3rd. This will be the first time during the 2012 presidential cycle that Romney will speak in front of a predominantly conservative Christian audience. This is a BIG event.
The Faith and Freedom Coalition hosted the big 2012 presidential race kickoff event in Iowa back in March. Ralph Reed is CEO of FFC and they define their mission as being "committed to educating, equipping, and mobilizing people of faith and like-minded individuals to be effective citizens." The Faith and Freedom Coalition made a huge impact on Evangelical turnout in the 2010 Midterm Elections. They plan to eclipse that effort in 2012.
Last week, Donald Trump agreed to speak at the event. Other confirmed speakers include Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, Congressman Paul Ryan and many others.
(my emphasis)
About the Faith and Freedom Coalition (whoever wrote the following paragraph is describing the life of Gov Romney…):
We believe that the greatness of America lies not in the federal government but in the character of our people — the simple virtues of faith, hard work, marriage, family, personal responsibility, and helping the least among us. If we lose sight of these values, America will cease to be great.
Never before has it been more critical for us to speak out for these values. That is why the Faith and Freedom Coalition is committed to educating, equipping, and mobilizing people of faith and like-minded individuals to be effective citizens. Together we will influence public policy and enact legislation that strengthens families, promotes time-honored values, protects the dignity of life and marriage, lowers the tax burden on small business and families, and requires government to tighten its belt and live within its means.
Don't forget Romney's National Call Day in Las Vegas on May 16th.
The Gov's campaign engine is revving up…
► Jayde Wyatt

GaryKeithandRon.com day!
If you've been reading this blog for the past couple months, you know I've been doing all I can to help promote Lynn Cohen's awesome t-shirts-for-charity venture, GaryKeithandRon.com. As if we need last names with our guys, right?!
Well, know that Lynn has been taking care of the entire mini-empire herself, from orders to customer service (she even took a customer service call during the game!!), to design ideas, to organizing a great day at Shea open to anyone who'd purchased a tee. AND to three groups of kids from worthy charities, some of whom had never been able to go to a ball game before. (See, Lynn? I told you I'd get a good candid of you! Looking very efficient and put-together there.)
What a wonderful time we all had! I got to the ballpark an hour early, but caught only the end of the meet-and-greet with Gary and Ron (Keith's on vacation of course!🙂 ). Seeing Gary happily pose with any fan who wanted a pic, and watching Ronnie smile as he signed autographs–what a good feeling it gave to see them so enthusiastic about the event. They hadn't even changed into their SNY polo shirts yet, and so for that moment, they felt like just a part of the gang.
And the gang was a ton of fun. Here with the lovely Lynn is Gary's beautiful mother, Joyce–a devout Mets fan since the beginning. Gary's got some good genes there! We were also lucky enough to have Rachel Burkhardt, wife of Kevin and mother of awww-inducing Logan (if you'd seen pics of him lately, you'd see how tall the cutie's gotten!). Oh, what a doll she is. We already knew our Kevin was the sweetest guy in the stands at any ballpark, but his wife might even be a smidge sweeter.
I was thrilled to hear that this blog entry (which includes a pic of little Logan a la Keith Hernandez) made it into Logan's baby scrapbook. Awww!
Kevin came by when not hard at work to spend time with the GKR crew and his college sweetheart/wonderful wife. As did Mr Met himself! If only for a brief moment. Mr. Met, we're fun times–you missed out by taking off so fast. Add in Dana Brand and the Mathematically Alive duo Kathy and Joe to the mix–plus all the happy GKR fans and many, many exuberant kids–and the day was bound to personify exactly what baseball was made for, no matter the outcome of the game. And then the team goes and pulls off the sweep!
Hear that? Sweeeeep! And no, I ain't talkin' about Ambien with a lisp there!
Since the hours in the pounding sun have left me somewhat loopy-headed, I'll let you see for yourself all the super fans who came out to support a great cause, hang with some special folks, and help us all remember that it's not only about what happens on the field. Although when what happens on the field rocks, it's totally okay to scream about it.
Here's the GKR.com crew on the SNY broadcast.
What you don't see me and Lynn?
How could you miss us? Lower left hand corner, of course🙂

2 MUCH AWSUM, Zoe!
Couldn't have gotten more perfect, could it? Now that's baseball The Way It Oughtta Be- perfect summer afternoon, stands full of screaming kids, a Tatis Tater™ and the Metsies win, of course! I was lucky enough to catch the game at home, and was reminded again why baseball is the most fun you can have standing up and yelling.😉
The only problem with being at the game is that you miss Gary Keith & Ron, and they were in great form yesterday (minus Keith, of course, probably running around Sag Harbor with a caulking gun). They had Ralph Kiner for a few innings, which is always a treat. The blimp was out, getting spectacular, crystal-clear scenic shots all over the area, which made me even more obnoxiously proud to be a New Yorker. 😉
The thing that made me laugh was Gary rhapsodizing about how great it must be to be outdoors on such a day, and how he'd like to be going for a run in Central Park. Ron added how he'd like to go to the Boathouse for a nice lunch.😉 Right, Ronnie, undo all Gary's good work.😉
Not to worry! I DVRed it to catch our favorite commentators after the fact, as I always do when I'm at the game!🙂
I'm the proud owner of 2 GKR t-shirts. I was at the games on both Tuesday and Wednesday. So, to make Thursday's game too would've probably gotten me fired! I'll be away for the July 22 outing, but hopefully there will be another one before the season ends.
Re: DVR- of course! And SNY does re-run the games, which saves us low-techies on occasion.
Hasn't the weather been just unreal over the past few days? It's gone right along with the Mets' great play, and everybody's lifted spirits. It all goes together in my mind, for some reason– the clear blue sky, the dark green of summer, my petunias and vincas, all looking good at the same time, for once, and the Mets on a winning streak. A moment to savor.😉

Summer came and she danced to the music
of live bands at county fairs,
and the Delaware River spoke to her of romance
and childhood dreams,
her youth melting like ice cream
on a hot August day.
Autumn came and its leaves spoke to her of all she had lost,
things she had to let go of,
they spoke of her past loves and friendships,
so many lost in the wind,
a few who returned with new beauty and color.
Winter came and recited its poetry to her in its white language,
and spoke to her of the cleansing and purifying of time,
the loneliness of having lived a long life,
the chilling breath of death so near,
always so near,
having only her memories
and the wisdom of her years
to keep her warm.
Then Spring came and spoke to her of faith and hope,
another chance to grow in new ways,
and reminded her that aging is just
living through the seasons,
of itself not a bad thing,
for rain must come, snow must come, change must come,
but the tree that learns to bend in the cold wind,
that learns to endure the loss of autumn's leaves,
that survives merciless summer's scorching sun,
the tree that learns to grow strong roots in the right soil,
listens to all the seasons' teachings
and finds joy in the listening.

oddly soothing
By nancyo
from franklin tn
i have only worn the gloves so far, but with winter coming in strong, my hands really need extra moisturizing and soothing. the only downside is that i'm only supposed to wear them 30 minutes at a time and only twice/week. the soothing just can't last 3 or more days. while i was wearing them, though, they felt great and afterward for a couple of days. i do have a mild excema and was afraid the gel might inflame the excema, but it actually helped. nicely done.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works Great

My daughter suffers from chronically dry hands. She says she can feel these gloves work immediately.

We men need to get such things for the women we love. They need to have this because they are on their feet all the time and cook for us and handle many a thing for us so anything that shows them we love them, they deserve it. This is just one more thing they need to bring them comfort. We, as men are indebted to those women who take care of us and look out for us. This is JUST ONE THING. There are so many other things to show our appreciation of them.

By Syl

I send this product back it just was not what I thought it would be, it was to cold on the inside and took a while to get comfortable with it left it on about all night long but was very uneasy with the gloves and could not sleep with them on.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Relieves the driest skin
By Susan
from Spokane, WA
I am an artist whose hands are often in turpentine and suffer from very dry, itchy hands. One hour of these gloves and my hands are in perfect shape. Relieves all dryness and itching. Love these gloves.
By Lamar
from woodbridge, va
My wife's hands and feet suffer dryness in winter that sometimes results in cracked skin. She uses them a couple times a week at night for an hour or two. Enough to heal cracks. Works as advertised.
Works Great!
By Dee
from Oxford, NC
I couldn't wait to use the items. Easy to put on and felt great! I thought I could keep them on all night, but the directions say only an hour or so and about once a week. The other days I put olive oil on my hands and cover with cotton gloves. Taking the items off is hard because the soft insides stick to your skin. I've found out that if I can grab the finger tip (after my hand is out) and gently pull, I can unravel them correctly.

5 Tank Car Manufacturers To Benefit From Crude By Rail
As the U.S. gears up to become the number one oil producer in the world by 2020 on the back the shale gas revolution, tank car manufacturers are poised to benefit as more crude oil gets transported by railway to take advantage of cheaper prices in the midcontinent United States. Tank cars are specialized rail cars designed to haul liquefied freight and are manufactured by a small select group of companies.
Given that current crude-by-rail volumes are approximately 500,000 to 600,000 barrels a day, while the U.S. produces 6.6 million barrels a day (and U.S. refineries refine 14.8 million barrels per day), the potential for railway companies to increase its exposure to the crude oil transportation business can be exponential . The current consensus is that the lack of available tank cars is causing a bottleneck in the crude-by-rail supply chain, while other impediments to growth include the lack of offloading terminals to deliver the product, absence of rail access to origination sites, and the need for coastal refiners to re-configure their plants to be able to process heavier crude that is produced in the U.S. midcontinent.
FTR Associates data through the Bloomberg service show that there is currently a backlog order of roughly 47,000 tank cars for the tank car manufacturers. In the third quarter of 2012, 4,500 tank cars were delivered and the time for an order to be processed and the tank cars to be manufactured has now lengthened to around 15 – 18 months.
A strong signal that the crude-by-rail story is developing can be seen by an increasingly number of refiners choosing to own or lease these tank cars directly rather than leaving it to the rail companies. For example, Valero Energy Corp ( VLO), a mid-size U.S. refiner, announced on January 15 this year that they will be buying 2,000 additional railcars in order to increase rail shipments of inland crude not served by pipelines. This brings its current fleet of tank cars to 9,000 and management hopes that the additional capacity will help ship more of the prolific Eagle Ford crude to its refineries.
Furthermore, Phillips 66 ( PSX), another refining company in the U.S. announced plans earlier in 2012 to purchase 2,000 railcars for the same purpose. This increasing demand for tank cars means that delivery of tank cars grew significantly in 2012 to approximately 18,000 deliveries, and current backlog suggest more than 23,000 deliveries of tank cars will be completed in 2013. This is in comparison to the less than 10,000 tank car deliveries in 2010 and 2011 and the approximately 20,000 tank cars currently transporting crude oil on railways.
There are very few companies on the public market that is exposed to tank car manufacturing, with one of the main ones being Greenbrier Companies ( GBX). On January 7, 2013, the company announced that it has received orders for 4,200 rail cars valued at over US$430 million with 1,250 of them being tank cars. The company now expects to deliver 13,000 rail cars in 2013 with a backlog of 9,700 rail cars valued at US$1.1 billion. Greenbrier was also subjected to an acquisition offer by Carl Icahn and American Railcar Industries Inc. ( ARII) with the bid on the table being $22 a share. The Board rejected the offer in December 2012 as not being sufficient and Icahn has since sold off most of his stake from 9.9% to 3.4% of the company. As a result, shares of Greenbrier has plummeted back to around $17 a share – a 22% discount to the price at which a famed investor was willing to pay.

Coming Up Aces…
So THIS is what it feels like to have an ace?
Wow, CC Sabathia and his big time stuff! Very nice…
McIsaac/Getty Images
It has been quite awhile since the Yanks have had a true ace, and it is great. The Yanks were locked in a tight game at the Stadium last night against the Orioles until the Yankees broke the game open in the late innings.
CC gave up a first inning run to stake the O's to an early 1-0 lead, but that was quickly erased in the bottom of the frame by an Alex Rodriguez two-run homer. Isn't going out on a limb to say that the hip is not bothering A-Rod? If he keeps this up for a few more games, he'll be challenging Donnie Baseball's club record for consecutive games with a home run.
And of course, Mark Teixeira is no longer 'The Ice Man Cometh' as he has shown all he needed was A-Rod to cover his back in the lineup. Tex was responsible for helping break the game open in the 7th inning with a two-run homer, which was also included a bases loaded double by Derek Jeter and a few Oriole miscues.
Video by Marc Carig/The Star Ledger
But it wasn't needed as CC brought his A-game, and didn't give up any more runs after the lone run in the first. Brian Bruney (what's up with the bald head?) and Brett Tomko closed out the game in relief of CC to preserve his three-hit masterpiece.

The Yankees' winning streak now stands at 7 games. The Yanks remain in third place, one game behind the Boston Red Sox and 3 ½ behind the Toronto Blue Jays as both of those teams also won. Correction: The Red Sox won, beating the Jays. Thanks for catching the error in my ways, Julia! 😉
Phil Hughes is the starter tonight, and I suspect that this will be his last Yankee performance before another trip back to Scranton (regardless of how well he pitches tonight due to the impending return of Chien-Ming Wang).
The New York Daily News reported yesterday that the Los Angeles Dodgers may be on the schedule for a trip to the Bronx in 2010. I hope it comes true as it would be great to see Joe Torre make a farewell visit before he calls it a career…
Hey Julia, don't worry about Jason Bay. He'll be fine as a New York millionaire! You guys need to worry about replacing Big Papi. If Jason hasn't re-signed with Boston yet, why can't he sign with the Yankees in the off-season? It's possible. The Yankees, more than likely, will let Johnny Damon walk at this point in his career. They need a top outfielder, and Matt Holliday, a potential free agent target, has struggled in the AL this year. So, why not Bay? It could happen…
Jason, while Julia is busy giving fruit baskets to Theo, this is for you…

hahaha – you are such a funny guy Scott! Did you forget – we had players (oh – Youk and Dustin come to mind!) who signed contracts to stay in Boston for less money because they LOVE playing for the Red Sox – so your money won't help – Jason will be with us in Boston where he belongs. Oh – and Scott – the Jays didn't win yesterday – they lost to..who was that team….you know….the team they are losing to tonight….oh yeah…..THE RED SOX!!!🙂 No need to thank me – I am just here to help you poor Yankees' fans! LOL!!
Sorry Scott – your Yankees are still down below looking up at the Red Sox.😀
Scott – I am supposed to tell you "Yankees Rule" from my daughter. There I told you.
Now can you guys stop winning so much?🙂
I saw that Joba Chamberlain was taken out of the game hurt. I don't know what happened. I hope he is okay.
May I suggest some players for your dedication blog? How about Dice-K? And – NO, you can't choose Johnny Damon! lol! 😀

1993 NCAA Div. III champions
OSKALOOSA—Three players reached double digits and the Dutch dominated the glass, but the Central College women's basketball team struggled to handle William Penn University's defense, falling 83-65 Thursday.
Guard Alyssa Schwartz (senior, Titonka, WCLT HS) had a team-high 15 points and eight rebounds. Forward Nicole Strasko (senior, Roland, Roland-Story HS) and guard Kalli Richardson (sophomore, Blairsburg, Northeast Hamilton HS) each notched 12 points and forward Hilary Beaird (junior, Burlington) collected seven rebounds.
Central (3-2) shot a fiery 54.2 percent from the floor in the first half but trailed 39-34 at intermission. The Dutch took a 43-42 lead at the 16:24 mark before William Penn (5-4) went on a 15-3 run to take command, 57-46. Central narrowed the gap to six points with 5:35 remaining but it was too late as the Statesmen held on with an 8-2 burst.
The Dutch won the rebound battle 45-27 and shot 47.9 percent from the floor for the game. William Penn shot 43.2 percent, including 36.4 percent from long range, and scored 32 points off 34 Central turnovers.
"Turnovers killed us tonight," coach Mike Jacobsma said. "Give William Penn credit. They got after us in the half court and we weren't able to execute what we wanted to do.
"We still shot well and outrebounded them by quite a bit but when you turn over the ball that many times it's tough to win."
The Dutch continue non-Iowa Conference action Saturday, taking on Waldorf College (6-4) in a 1 p.m. contest at P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium.

Ok, so my daughter will be 6 months old on the 30th of June.
When she was born my milk supply was awesome and I could pump like 16oz at any given time. Well, I became engorged and consulted an LC. She instructed me to stop pumping and just breastfeed. This was great until about 2 months; I noticed she would eat constantly from 5-10pm. So, I thought I was not producing enough milk and started supplementing with formula. This supplementing joined with going back to work ruined my once awesome supply. Knowing what I know now, I am SO MAD at myself for sabotaging my supply by giving formula. Now, she eats formula about 85% of the time and expressed BM or breastfeeds the other 15%. I pump about 2x a day, and feed her off the breast 1 or 2x daily. Right now I am getting like 4oz a day.
After all that, my question is...is it possible/realistic for me to make as much as I did in the beginning? Can I stop the formula? Or am I just too late in the game? How, what should I do? I do have a Medela pump in style advanced.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated; I really want to do this.

Pat Burrell is set to announce his retirement today according to Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors. Burrell, also known as Pat the Bat and the Machine, was a beacon of hope for a floundering franchise scorned by JD Drew's famous refusal to sign. Burrell was the number one pick out of the University of Miami in 1998 and provided solid production over nine years in Philadelphia. Drafted as a third baseman, Burrell was selected with high expectations and for his ability to reach the Majors quickly. Burrell joined the club in 2000.
Burrell's last game as a Phil was Game 5 of the 2008 World Series saw him reach base three times, including a lead-off double that helped the Phils clinch the title. Burrell's double cemented him forever in Phillies' lure and reflected his often-clutch performances. Burrell finished his career with a year-and-a-half each with both Tampa and San Francisco. Burrell finished 2010 with 18 second-half home runs and led the charging Giants past Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Texas to capture the 2010 World Series.
For many, Burrell never reached the unrealistic expectations set forth by many as the number 1 pick, but to me, Burrell's double was the perfect exclamation mark to a terrific career. Playing mostly left field for the Phils, Pat the Bat appeared in 1306 games for the Phillies hitting 251 HRs with a triple-slash of .257/.367/.485. Burrell finishes his career just shy of 300 (292) HRs, with a career triple slash of .253/.361/.472. With so many moments to choose from, including many Shea Stadium bombs and his Game 5 double, what is your favorite Pat Burrell moment?
0 Comments
My family went to the Philles vs Tampa Bay exhibition game in April 2009 – a few days before they announced it was going to be Pat Burrell Recgonition Night. The Phillies gave out photos of Pat Burrell from signing day through the 2008 World Series parade. They played a montage of him before the game. He teared up after and came out for a curtain call. It was a great tribute form the Phillies and showed what a class act both Burell and the Phillies organization were. He will e missed and always a Phillie in my mind. People may say he was never a great player but he was ALWAYS proud to be a Phillie and thankful to be here.
I was at that game too. I have that photo framed and up in my office. That was a great moment.
It was a great game and ery classy of the Phillies to honor him.
Ok I was batboy down in Spring Training and Burrell was at the plate when he broke his bat. I went to go get him another one but before I could, Chase Utley grabbed one of Burrell's bats and chucked it out on the field at him. Burrell just stared at Utley, and everyone in the dugout started laughing.
in 2008 we had a double header vs the brewers on a sunday day/night. Pat the Bat hit a bomb up near the scoreboard pourch which was right by us in LF. the other top one is the nlcs were he went deep off Lowe.
Early May 2008, the Giants had just gone up one in the 10th inning on an Aaron Rowand home run. In the bottom of the inning, Burrell hits a two-out full-count two-run bomb that wins it for the Phils. Harry the K's call is priceless. He just keeps saying, "Pat Burrell! Pat Burrell!"
Also, not to nitpick, but Burrell's double in game 5 of the WS wasn't actually a go-ahead double. It was a lead-off double that set up the winning run that pinch runner Eric Bruntlett scored on Pedro Feliz's single.
That May 2008 game vs the Giants really sticks out in my mind. I was there.. and it was awesome. Rowand appeared to win the game in extras… and people started leaving… I managed to move down CBP from the nose-bleeds to some nifty field seats behind the dugout.. and freaking Pat the Bat, with two-outs, full count, hit a 2-run BOMB that wins it all! Amazing! I was jumping up and down, hi-5ing everybody (those poor seats)…
Btw, he was scorching hot in early 2008. A very-early MVP candidate even.
I think that game is for sale on itunes.
One of my favorite gifs of all time. Lol.
ahahah this is def. a memorable moment for Pat the Bat!
I wish he would come back to Phillie to retire. Wish they would sign him to a one day contract so he could. I always loved Pat. He's the reason I started following the Phillies.
Can he retire a Phillie? How does it work in MLB?
Answer to my own question, he may sign a one day contract. RAJ said "we are considering it"
I figured he would retire, although i thought there would be a possibility he could land somewhere as a pinchhitter, 5th OF'er. Well 2 rings and 71 Million richer, he has nothing really to gain.
My favorite "Pat the Bat" moment…..he left.
Guess you didn't really appreciate 2008, especially the 5th Game of the WS, then…
I'm with you. He had to lead the league every year in called third strike/strikeouts! Very frustrating! And I'll never forget how much of a negative clubhouse influence he was just prior to Bowa getting axed. He was one of the mutineers for sure. Very overrated player initially that actually overachieved during his career considering his lack of skills.
jesus are you kidding me?!?! ya he was hard to watch at times, we don't win the WS with out him!
lol, sorry about Pat "batting" your girlfriend, Nick.
The coolest thing about Burrell, to me, was that when he hit .209, and had a terrible season with fans booing like crazy… He never really got mad at the fans, he knew we wanted results from such a high draft pick. Not taking things personally is a great thing for Philly athletes to think about
Every home run he hit against the METS are my favorite memories of him, some of those balls still have landed yet. Obviously his last AB in red pin-stripes will forever be with me, and watching him roll down Broad St. with Elvis and being pulled by the Budweiser Horses. the Machine will live forever!!
In 2004 the Phillies were playing a home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the bottom of the ninth, Pat Burrell hit a home run that tied the game. The Phils went on win in extra innings. I remember another game in 2004 when the Phils played the Red Sox. I was in attendance at the ball park and the Sox were embarrassing the Phils. During the late innings of the game, when the score was (I think) 8 to 0, Red Sox, one of the Sox players hit the ball into the left field corner. Pat flew to the corner and slid into the dirt to try to catch the ball. He didn't make the play, but I admired his attempt. Under the circumstances, I didn't think too many people would have blamed him if he had just fielded the ball and threw to the cut off man. I also fondly remember the "Vote for Pat" campaign to try to get Pat onto the 2008 NL All Star team. That was 2008, wasn't it?
I remember Pat's first hit.All that anticipation,then he finally comes through.He came to the plate in what was the time Enron Field in Houston.Pat stood at the plate and drove a blast that landed 3/4 of the way up that hill in deep center field.By the time he finally finished running he was standing on third and I've rooted for him ever since.I'll be sad to see him go.
Game 5 double vs. The Rays. Definately my top moment and his most important hit. He definately should sign a one day contract and retire as a Phillie. I hope he gets involved with the team in some other way too.
My first time at Shea Stadium, 6/7/07 The Bat takes Billy Wagner deep to tie it up in the ninth and the Phils win in extras for the sweep. Against a loudmouth like that, in NY, made it all the sweeter! Oh, & after a great unjustified tirade for which he was tossed, Charlie didn't leave the field for what felt like 15 minutes. Those two plays turned the momentum in that game and the Mutts never recovered.
Some of my favorite moments with Pat The Bat are already covered by some posters here. So I'll just wish him all the best in his next endeavor or project in the coming years of his relatively young life.
It would be a grand gesture for GM Amaro to offer a one-day contract to Burrell so that he may retire as a Phillie. Perhaps to go one step further and offer Burrell a chance to join the Phillies organization in some capacity; be it administrative or on field scouting or coaching in the minors.
A couple of things
A) the double he hit in game 5 was actually insignificant to the outcome but, because we bled Pat the bat, because he got the pass for his looong slumps, it meant everything in the world to the sold out CBP at the time, me too.
B) Pat was not the clutch hitter that Ian is making him out to be. He had 1 hit in the WS in 2008 and 1 hit for the Giants in 2010, he does have 2 rings.
He was slow, lumbering but he did put forth effort and he never did seem to mind the long slumps. Who can forget that HUGE swing? It was a classic that has been etched in our minds and hearts. Sure, I will miss him, his attitude, his competitiveness but in reality, he was at best, mediocre in talent.
Brooks, how was Pat the Bat's double insignificant? He got a double then Charlie replaced him with Bruntlett (to pinch-run). Bruntlett then scored the winning run (Feliz RBI).
I need to mention one thing – that is extremely important to this discussion.
At the end of the season, no matter the highs or low, slumps or streaks – you could always count on one thing – Pat wound up with just about the same stats, year after year:
27-30 hrs; 84-95 rbi and his average was almost always hoovering around .250.
Sometimes he kept the Phils alive and sometimes he was completely (and annoyingly) silent but, at the end of the year you could count on Pat's stats.
9 years with the Phils
6 out of 9 he hit 27 or more hrs
7 out of 9 hit had 84 or more rbi (topped 100 twice)
6 out of 9 seasons he hit between .250 and .260
Yes, he finished his career with a .253 batting average, but also a .361 OBP, which would be behind only Utley (.377) and Howard (.368) on the current team. Werth is at .360.
I think my favorite moment might have been at the WS celebration at CBP. After all the heat he took from the fans over the years, the fans were completely on his side that day. I can hear the chants even now "Bring back Pat". It was really cool to see him get some respect for his time here.
My favorite moments with Pat were every time my husband started trashing him – he hit a home run.
One game we were at, my husband started trashing him, and I said, he is going to hit it out. He did. Next at bat, I said, he's going to do it again. He did. Third up to bat, I said he's going for three. He hit a long fly ball, not a home run – but just shy…it was a great game.
Second favorite memory – 2008 NLDS. We had seats right behind Pat in the outfield. My husband was messing with me and yelled out, Pat! You've got a little bat! I turned to him and said, the man is trying to work here. Stop distracting him from doing his job. Everyone laughed.
Best memory of all – seeing him in the 08 WS Parade.

Alerts this week
Welcome to Security Alerts, an overview of recent Unix and open-source security advisories. In this column, we look at buffer overflows in
innfeed, and Cyberscheduler; symbolic-link race conditions in Samba, VMware,
exuberant-ctags, and nedit; and problems in Red Hat FTP
mgetty, DCForum, Cyberscheduler, and
sudo allows the root user to delegate the ability for a user to run commands with the permission of root or another user. Versions of
sudo prior to version 1.6.3p6 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code and obtain root privileges.
It is recommended that users upgrade to version 1.6.3p6 as soon as possible. If
sudo is not being used, the set user ID bit should be removed.
The Samba daemon provides file and print services using the SMB protocol used by Microsoft Windows products. Versions of Samba prior to 2.0.8 are vulnerable to a symbolic-link file race condition attack that can be used by an attacker to overwrite system files, destroy file systems, or obtain root privileges.
All users of Samba should upgrade as soon as possible to version 2.0.8 or newer, and should restart the Samba server once it has been upgraded.
Under some conditions, Red Hat Linux systems can have their firewall rules bypassed by a carefully constructed FTP PORT command. This vulnerability affects Red Hat Linux 7.1 systems using a 2.4 Linux kernel that has been configured to use a firewall based on
iptables instead of
ipchains, and has also turned on the feature that allows FTP RELATED connections to be passed through the firewall. The default configuration of Red Hat 7.1 uses
ipchains for its firewall configuration and is not vulnerable to this attack.
Red Hat recommends that users of
iptables disable the FTP RELATED feature, and watch Red Hat for an updated 2.4 Linux kernel.
The VMware suite of products allow the execution of multiple operating systems on the same machine at the same time. The
vmware-mount.pl script provided with VMware creates a temporary file insecurely, and can be used by a malicious user to create and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
A workaround for this temporary-file race condition vulnerability is to set the
$TMPDIR environment variable to a temporary directory that only you can write to, such as
$HOME/tmp. Doing this will cause VMware to use the specified location that is pointed to by the
$TMPDIR variable for the temporary file and will provide protection against this attack.
Users of VMware should upgrade to a repaired version as soon as one becomes available.
innfeed is part of the INN news package and uses the NNTP protocol to send news from one system to another. In versions of INN other than the current CVS version, it is possible for newsgroup users to execute the set user ID wrapper
startinnfeed, pass it very long arguments, and exploit a buffer overflow in the
innfeed program.
Exploiting this buffer overflow may allow the attacker to execute commands with the permission of the news user ID. If any of the applications owned by news are executed by the root user, the attacker can leverage access to the news user ID to obtain root privileges.
It is recommended that users, who do not have access to the news user ID, not be placed in the newsgroup, and that the root user never execute any part of the news system.
exuberant-ctags package insecurely creates symbolic-link files. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to overwrite files with the permissions of the user running
Users should upgrade to version 3.5 of
exuberant-ctags as soon as possible.
DCForum, a web-based message board system produced by DCScripts, has several bugs that a remote user can exploit to upload files and execute Perl code with the permissions of the user running the web server.
DCScripts has released a patch for this problem and recommends that users apply it as soon as possible.
The Nirvana Editor, nedit, is a text editor similar to editors used with Microsoft Windows. While printing, nedit creates a temporary file insecurely causing a race condition that can be used by an attacker to overwrite system files with the permissions of the user running nedit. No workaround is known, as nedit ignores the
$TMPDIR environmental variable.
Users of nedit should upgrade to version 5.1.1.
Cyberscheduler is a calendaring and scheduling package produced by Crosswind that is available for Linux, Solaris, and Windows. Cyberscheduler has a buffer overflow in the time zone variable that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code as the user running the web server.
Users of Cyberscheduler should upgrade to the most recent version as soon as possible.
sendfiled, a server daemon that implements the Simple Asynchronous File Transfer (SAFT) protocol, does not drop its privileges correctly. This can be easily exploited by a local user to execute code with the permissions of the root user.
Users should upgrade to version 2.1-20 as soon as possible.
mgetty program distributed with Red Hat Linux 5.2, 6.2, 7.0, and 7.1 does not log error messages correctly.
Users should obtain the appropriate update from Red Hat.
Bubblemon is a Gnome panel applet that displays the system load as bubbles rising through a liquid. Bubblemon does not properly drop its permissions and this allows a user to click the Bubblemon applet and execute a script or application that will run with its
egid as
Users should upgrade to a version newer than 1.32.

- Title
- Critical temperature of a Rashba spin-orbit-coupled Bose gas in a harmonic trap
- Author(s)
- Hu, Hui; Liu, Xia-Ji
- Abstract
- We investigate theoretically Bose-Einstein condensation of an ideal, trapped Bose gas in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Analytic results for the critical temperature and condensate fraction are derived based on a semiclassical approximation to the single-particle-energy spectrum and density of states and are compared with exact results obtained by explicitly summing discrete energy levels for a small number of particles. We find a significant decrease of the critical temperature and of the condensate fraction due to finite spin-orbit coupling. For a large coupling strength and a finite number of particles N, the critical temperature scales as N 2/5 and N 2/3 in three and two dimensions, respectively, contrasted to the predictions of N 1/3 and N 1/2 in the absence of spin-orbit coupling. Finite-size corrections in three dimensions are also discussed.

BALTIMORE — The Cincinnati Bengals stayed at the same hotel being used by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which is holding meetings in Baltimore.
That turned out to be of great benefit for coach Marvin Lewis' team, which needed every ounce of divine intervention to force yesterday's game into overtime.
However, their petitions and prayers for victory went unanswered as the Ravens went on to win in overtime 20-17.

The HHT (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia) clinic draws on the skills and knowledge of UC San Diego physicians in a wide range of disciplines.
HHT is an inherited condition resulting in abnormal blood vessels in several organs. These abnormalities are called arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and they occur when an artery and a vein connect directly to each other without intervening capillaries. Small AVMs are called telangiectasias and can be recognized on the skin as red spots that blanch (lose their color) with pressure.
The most common signs of HHT are:
The telangiectases are usually located on the lips, face, tongue or hands, but they can appear in other places and are usually not troublesome. HHT can cause more serious, and even life-threatening problems in some people. Large AVMs often cause symptoms when they occur in the brain, lungs or the gastrointestinal tract. AVMs in the gastrointestinal system can cause internal bleeding, which commonly begins after age 50. These problems may be sudden and catastrophic.
Most of the serious complications of HHT can be prevented if potentially dangerous AVMs are detected and treated before they cause problems. Therefore, a comprehensive screening evaluation is recommended for anyone, at any age, who has been diagnosed with HHT, has signs and symptoms of HHT or has a close relative with HHT (a parent, child, brother or sister).
Screening may include any of the following procedures, depending on the patient's family and medical history:
We welcome patients from outside the local area and offer assistance with travel arrangements. Every effort will be made to coordinate visits to ensure that patients receive all the appropriate evaluations and treatments in the most efficient manner possible.
