Crude Records Year's Biggest Weekly Gain on Iraq Unrest
West Texas Intermediate and Brent crudes charted the biggest weekly gains this year as Islamist fighters extended their advance in Iraq, triggering concern of a return to civil war.
Futures in New York climbed 4.1 percent this week while they added 4.4 percent in London. Government forces in Iraq, OPEC's second-biggest oil producer, are seeking to dislodge Islamist militants from cities north of Baghdad after they overran army positions in Mosul this week. U.S. President Barack Obama said yesterday he won't rule out using airstrikes to help the government.
"Prices have jumped to nine-month highs as the upsurge of violence in Iraq has raised additional risk of supply disruption," said Gene McGillian, an analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut. "The situation in Iraq is going to continue to guide the market for a while."
WTI for July delivery rose 38 cents today, or 0.4 percent, to settle at $106.91 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The volume of all futures traded was 42 percent higher than the 100-day average.
Brent for July settlement, which expires today, increased 39 cents to $113.41 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The August contract climbed 4 cents to $112.46. Volumes were 48 percent above the 100-day average.
Little Changed
The European benchmark oil traded at a $6.50 premium to WTI, compared with $6.49 at yesterday's close.
"The situation in Iraq changed so rapidly this week," said Sarah Emerson, managing principal of ESAI Energy Inc. in Wakefield, Massachusetts. "Mosul fell one day and the next day the militants were marching on Baghdad."
The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, known as ISIL, forced a halt to repairs at the main pipeline from the Kirkuk oil field to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan in Turkey when it overran Mosul. There were conflicting reports that Baiji, the site of Iraq's biggest refinery, had been captured.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Shiite-led government is struggling to retain control of Sunni-majority regions after his army units in northern Iraq collapsed amid the extremist advance. The Interior Ministry started to prepare a new plan to defend Baghdad against an attack by members of ISIL, Al Arabiya reported, citing a ministry spokesman.
Iraq produced 3.3 million barrels a day of crude last month, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The country's crude output capacity will increase by more than 1.2 million barrels a day in the six years through 2019, the International Energy Administration projected in its monthly oil market report today.
Southern Fields
The fighting hasn't spread to the south, which the U.S. Energy Information Administration says is home to three-quarters of Iraq's crude output.
"If the Sunni rebels don't make it to the south, oil production will continue," said Kyle Cooper, director of research with IAF Advisors in Houston. "I bet we'll either rise or fall by $1.50 on Monday, depending on developments over the weekend. If it looks like the south is under threat there will be a rise, and if the situation stabilizes there will be a drop."
WTI may gain next week on concern the conflict will disrupt shipments, according to a Bloomberg News survey. Seventeen of 26 analysts and traders, or 65 percent, forecast crude will increase. Three said prices will decline.
Gasoline Declines
July-delivery gasoline fell 0.8 percent after PBF Energy Inc. (PBF) completed maintenance work at its Delaware City refinery in Delaware. The 182,200-barrel-a-day plant is the third-largest on the U.S. East Coast, home to New York Harbor, the delivery point for gasoline futures.
"The refinery finishing maintenance is affecting East Coast supplies," said Carl Larry, president of Oil Outlooks & Opinions LLC.
Gasoline fell 2.6 cents to settle at $3.0577 a gallon on the Nymex. Front-month futures rose 4 percent on the week, the biggest weekly increase since March 7. Volume was 19 percent above the 100-day average.
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel fell 0.17 cent to $2.9876. Front-month futures increased 4.1 percent this week. Volume was 17 percent above the 100-day average.
Gasoline at the pump, averaged nationwide, rose 0.2 cent a gallon to $3.649 yesterday, according to AAA.com.

Is fighting normal?
I'm fostering two four-month-old male kittens (both neutered). I've never fostered or owned cats before. My apologies if this is a silly question. They get along extremely well, sleep together, play together, etc., but last night, something went down between them and I walked in with both of them facing each other, backs up, tails up and hissing. I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do, but I separated them for a few minutes and then everything seemed to go back to normal. Is this totally normal behavior or is it a sign of things to come? Would they actually have hurt each other if I hadn't walked in? Thanks for any advice.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I would think if they generally get a long and play, and have a little scuffle, I would let them work it out. When I introduced a 5 month old kitten to my 5 year old cat, both males, there was a little growling and hissing from the big one, and cat people and the vet told me to stay out of it, UNLESS it was bad, and there was blood and it was really aggressive. I was disturbed when the big cat would stand on the little cat, scruff his neck with his teeth....I was alarmed, every one said "stay out of it, let them work it out", so I did. You might see some of that too. One of them is trying to prove that they are top cat. I guess if it is getting too aggressive, you could get a water bottle and squirt them and tell them NO, and maybe try distraction and play with them. I think playing with them, long wand type toys, etc, wear them out. I use the laser toy to wear them out before bedtime. I think it's probably all normal kitten stuff.

I would let them play it out, since they are friends. These scuffles usually subside rather quickly, and you should not think that they need intervention unless someone cries bloody murder, and you will know (because it's an awful sound). Distraction works great with kittens though. Say "treat" and give them a couple of SmartBites each, and before you know it they'll be anticipating the yumminess!! ^_^

A certain amount of "posturing" and play-fighting is normal. Baby animals do it in the wild, too. This actually does set the precedent for who will outrank whom as they grow up. In my house, Izzie is a lover and not a fighter, but even he will try to mix it up with the girls. There's usually a hiss and a swat from the ladies and Izzie says "Meh!" and walks away. But I know from my own fostering that when cats play, it sounds (and looks) like they're fighting. However, when you share a home with them, you get to know their sounds and there's usually no doubt when it's fighting for real. But, there's usually a reason. In intact males, it could be a nearby female in season. Or food. Or a stray outside that they can't get to. You were wise for separating them, but I caution you not to get in the middle of claws and teeth. Even a kitten can send you to the ER. As Beep suggested, a spray bottle gets your point across too. But do let them work it out.It's a way of socialization and growing up

SPRING CITY Ś After more than 10 months in Afghanistan, working with men half his age to serve his country, Chief Warrant Officer 3 James Cote was welcomed home Tuesday.
Cote, a 60-year-old former East Vincent police chief, was overcome with emotion when he saw the reception waiting for him at the Spring City Armory.
ôWow,ö he repeated upon stepping out of his escort vehicle, looking at each person in the crowd that swelled around him: a sea of smiling faces, whirling United States flags and hand-crafted welcome home signs.
Spring City and Royersford fire companies raised a flag arch over the armoryĺs driveway and American Legion members stood by with the honor guard.
When the crowdĺs cheering began to quiet, Cote expressed his gratitude.
ôThereĺs not much to say but ĹThank you.ĺö he said. ôIĺm certainly humbled by this.ö
A Heroĺs Welcome and the Warriorĺs Watch Riders each acknowledged Coteĺs service, resulting in a round of applause from the crowd.
Cote served as the chief of police in East Vincent in the 1980s, and served more than 37 years in the National Guard. In late 2011, he got news he would be able to go to Afghanistan, and he wanted the opportunity. But because of his age he had to get a special waiver.
Chief Warrant Officer Michael Murphy, a longtime friend of Coteĺs who is stationed at the Spring City Armory, explained that ôitĺs a big thing for someone whoĺs 60 years old (to be) in actionö in the military.
Murphy called Cote a ôrare, special individual,ö and said ôYou donĺt (easily) find someone like that to have that dedication to their country in service.ö
Cote now lives in Florida with his wife, Katherine, and their 7-year-old son Reagan. However, much of his family lives in the northeast, including his daughter, Beth Wheeler, and Bethĺs daughter, Ryanne, 6, who was ecstatic to see her ôPopPop.ö
Wheeler said her father is an exceptional person and seeing the reception from so many people who love him Tuesday was overwhelming.
ôIt feels so good to know weĺre all so proud of him,ö she said.
Katherine Cote said going off to serve in Afghanistan was something her husband ôneeded to do, and nothing I was going to say was going to change his mind.ö
His being overseas for more than 10 months ôwasnĺt as easy as I thought it was going to be,ö she said, acknowledging all the day to day things that she missed having him there for.ö
That said, she was ôextremely proudö of his accomplishment, and thrilled to have him home.
Chief Cote said he appreciated his wife and the rest of his family for allowing him to go off and serve his country. He noted that his job was easier than thereĺs as ôthere were enough things to keep me focusedö in Afghanistan.
He said he was tasked to be a logistics advisor and worked 15-hour days. The months ôflew by,ö he said.
He acknowledged that heading to Afghanistan isnĺt in the cards for many 60-year-olds, but ôIĺve been blessed with good health.ö
Cote said he was also blessed with the welcome home he received, and explained that when he got off the plane and was making his way up the corridor carrying his duffle bags, a ôbunch of people came up to me and said, as they normally say, ĹThank you for your service.ö
Cote replied with the routine ôProud to serve,ö when one man grabbed him by the shoulder.
ôHe said, ĹYou realize the reception youĺre getting is different than the one I got,ĺö Cote recalled.
That man had served in Vietnam.
ôIt puts everything into perspective,ö Cote said. ôThis is great; hometown people, family, this is great. But keep in mind that people came back from other wars and they werenĺt treated so nice.ö

The SNSF supports the principle of open electronic access to scientific knowledge nationally and internationally. The SNSF requires grantees to provide open access to research results obtained with the help of SNSF grants.
Research funded by the public should be publicly accessible as far as possible, not least in the interests of science itself. The SNSF is looking to achieve this goal by following two paths:
The OA provisions of the SNSF as set out in the Regulations on information, valorisation and rights to research results (clause 4) give researchers freedom of choice with regard to the place of publication and OA road.
The 51 member organisations of the umbrella organisation Science Europe are making a concerted effort to ensure that the results of research and innovation funded by public money in Europe are made available by means of a free-of-charge online system. They have defined a list with ten principles which are to lend coherency and consistency to their OA efforts. Through its active participation in Science Europe, the SNSF has contributed to the position paper and committed itself to the principles mentioned therein.
The SNSF carried out a self-evaluation of his Open Access activities in the period from October 2013 to August 2015. In addition he verified the researchers compliance with the SNSF guidelines.
A study jointly financed by the SNSF and swissuniversities developed Open Access scenarios for scientific publishing in Switzerland. The study is in keeping with the SNSF's commitment to open access and contributes to the debate about a national Open Access strategy for Switzerland.

Welcome everybody to Collectors Authority Website. We hope you find something you'll enjoy.
We received these emails from some of our customers and this what they had to say about us;
From: Naomie Montemayor
Hi there Mario & Pete,
I just wanted to thank you two for the outstanding service and JOY you bring to so many....especially my Hubby. Your store's warm & cheerful ambience is a very rare find. We are grateful to you both.
Many blessings,
From: Sostenes Hernandez
From: Doug Rockstead
Just thought I'd chime in. I live in Austin Texas, but when I visit San Antonio, this is my favorite comic shop in town. The focus is on comics and he actually carries back issues. The store is clean and organized and they aren't too proud of their comics when it comes to pricing. Best selection of back issues in town, including Silver Age.
From: Bill Smith
Well it looks like the secret is out. Everyone knows what costumers of Collectors Authority always have. Mario, Pete and the crew are the best in San Antone hands down. You guys keep the main thing the main thing. Comics. No one deserves it more. Congratulations!
From: Benny Velez
I have read the great comments about Collectors Authority and I have to agree. This place ROCKS. Service is excellent and the staff is awesome.
From: Alfonso Rangel
Hey guys, just wanted to say that Collectors Authority is the best place to buy comics.
From: Alejandro Luevano
First heard of the shop when I was home on leave looking for figures while stationed in Germany with the army back in 1998 I think. Kept returning there every time I was home on leave and continue up to this day checking the shop for cool items and comics.... You guys are AWESOME....
From: Frank Barrientes
Hey guys!!
I would like to formally address & thank the super team at Collector's Authority. I am new to the world of comics & have been on an awesome roller-coaster ride since first being introduced via the Planet Hulk run. I have since visited many shops in search of the perfect store that would be able to combine excellent service, quality selection, and seasoned experience. I have found that store: Collector's Authority!! Every couple of weeks I take the 30+ minute drive from my part of town down Military to collect my goodies. Let me tell you, it's worth it!! My experience has been nothing short of superior!! I've even managed to convince a few friends to cancel their existing subs & join me at CA. We now excitedly look forward to making our bi-monthly visits to the store. Mario & Pete, and everyone else at Collector's Authority… thank you for your continued commitment to servicing your customers. There is none better in San Antonio...
From: Mark A Cain
Hi, Pete & Mario
I just wanted to take the time and say thank you. I wish the best for you and your families. Still the best comic book store on the plant.
From: Trent Reyes
Hello, you may remember me as the guy who gets 2 Dark Tower comics and 1 variant. I really appreciate that you will hold a variant for me every month. I'm just use to the collectors chain stores, where I run in then out and no one really has an interest in what I'm looking for, much less what I'm talking about. You surprised me by remembering who I was and what I was looking for. That was cool. Because none of the other places would hold a variant for me. That is why I have decided to make your new shop my new place to go for comics. Since I work a night shift I usually make our conversations short every time I visit your shop (sorry about that). My wife has also become a collector, but what she likes is usually hard to find and not cheap. I get her anything from The Nightmare Before Christmas. (Got the movie cards too) One question that she asked for me to mention was "What are the names of and how many comics were made by Glenn Danzig?"
That's pretty much all I have to say for now. Thanks for your time, and can't wait for next months Dark Tower!
From: John Trevino
Wow what can I say CA is the best. I've been collecting comics with CA since about the beginning of this year and I have a bout 2 boxes worth of comics already. I've been to other places and no one treats me better than guys like Mario and Pete they're friendly and are willing to answer any of your questions. they have reignited my love for Spider-man. plus they are huge COWBOYS and SPURS fans. props guys.
From: Abram Gallegos
Collector's Authority, I first started going in July and the variety of comics was incredible plus the staff itself was great. They're the best around!!! I probably go and get some new comics about twice a week so I'm a frequent buyer (I'm the kid who always comes in with matching clothes and probably a crooked cap I just left the store bout 2 hours ago ha-ha).

Now Is The Time For CIOs To Tune Into 3D Printing
Posted by Sophia Vargas on February 20, 2014
- 36 Recommendations
- 0 comments
While the basic technology behind 3D printing has been around for decades, recent hype and coverage has recast a spotlight on the industry. Over the last few years, incumbent and emerging vendors have been rapidly developing 3D printers, each more productive than the last, with an ever expanding variety of printable materials and possible use cases.
Outside of consumer hobbyists, 3D printing will have the greatest impact on businesses that design and manufacture discrete products, introducing rapid prototyping to speed up development cycles and an alternative production method for customized finished objects.
What does this mean for CIOs and technology management departments?
As the resident technology expert, you may be called upon to evaluate the hardware and feasibility of 3D printing for your business. Beyond assessment, businesses may demand:
- Technology support and management. If your business decides to incorporate 3D printers, as a new networked device, support could entail adapting and integrating the 3D printing ecosystem into current product lifecycle management platforms and processes, not to mention troubleshooting hardware and software issues.
- Heightened digital asset security. As techniques and materials become more precise and durable, 3D printing will continue to extend beyond prototypes into finished products following the example of the BAE Systems Tornado fighter jet containing 3D printed parts.With this success in mind, 3D printing has the potential to transform how businesses buy and sell products, replacing physical merchandise with digital blueprints. This shift is unrealistic for products that are manufactured in high volume, but potentially more economical for outdated, unique, or customized items. As customers acquire high-quality printers, they will be able to print their new purchases or replacement parts in any location. Not only will this disrupt your business model, but it will also mandate heightened security measures, as revenue will be directly tied to these newly minted digital assets.
Over the last six months, my colleague Michael Yamnitsky and I have been researching the 3D printing ecosystem, working to understand the impact on business and technology systems. We anticipate that 3D printing will expand the reach of digital disruption, paving the way for new products, processes, and delivery models.
For more information and insight into this discussion, see our recent report "3D Printing Drives Digitization Further Into Products, Processes, And Delivery Models".

Painting with stitches: 'Quilted Oregon'
Bend's High Desert Muesum offers new quilt exibit
BEND, Ore. - Quilts made by artists from all over Oregon are on display at the High Desert Museum.
From a distance, some of the quilts look like paintings on canvas.
But if you look closer you can see the neat stitches.
The display is called "Quilted Oregon." Many of the artists are from Central Oregon.
The quilts are inspired by nature, with scenes of Broken Top, the Painted Hills and the Three Sisters.
There's also a section where kids can try their hand at making a masterpiece --placing felt shapes on a board to make different designs and pictures.
"Either the artists or the subjects are meant to explore the artistic beauty of Oregon itself," said museum spokesman Jason Hogstad. "Give us a chance to, maybe see panoramic views, such as this, through maybe a different lens."
Moms got in free Sunday for Mother's Day.
The quilts are on loan from the Studio Art Quilt Associates.
Learn more about this exhibit at the museum's Website.

Kristen Stewart Celebrates Her 23rd Birthday With Robert Pattinson: Pictures
Another birthday together! Kristen Stewart turned 23 on Tuesday, April 9 and boyfriend Robert Pattinson was by her side to help her celebrate.
The Twilight costars and real-life couple of over three years were spotted at the Mexican restaurant Malo in L.A.'s Los Feliz neighborhood with a group of nearly 40 friends, including Spring Breakers actress Ashley Benson, X17 reports.
PHOTOS: Kristen turns 23 -- her most stunning red carpet looks
Stewart kept the dress code casual in jeans, a black zip-up hoodie and sneakers. Pattinson, 26, followed her lead by wearing a black jacket, gray hoodie, jeans and sneakers.
The twosome appeared to be in good spirits as they were seen exiting a car together. The birthday girl was also snapped with a big smile on her face while walking arm-in-arm with a female friend.
PHOTOS: Rob and Kristen's crazy year
After dinner, the group headed to No Vacancy bar at Hotel Juniper. According to E! News, Stewart's party happened to be there the same night that Hanson was celebrating their release party.
Twilight costar Nikki Reed tweeted that she was at No Vacancy , and shared a photo of herself posing with the band. "Good time. Good crew at No Vacancy/Juniper Hotel," she wrote. It's unclear, however, if Reed, 24, was also there to celebrate with Stewart.

This WP eMember review is a detailed video review for the very popular WP eMember WordPress membership plugin. With this plugin you can easily create a WordPress membership site, offering free or paid content for your web visitors. In this review I created a website to show exactly what you can do with this powerful membership plugin for WordPress so you can use the same ideas for your own membership site.
Creating Membership Sites in WordPress
Creating a membership site in WordPress can be a bit of a hassle. Some plugins are just too difficult to use, and the ones that are simple to use, do not have enough powerful features and do not integrate with other third-party products such as autoresponders or affiliate platforms.
I have tried a few other membership solutions, but now I exclusively use WP eMember since it has all the advanced features I need so I can create a membership site without technical limitations.
This membership plugin does it all and more. It has loads of configuration options, but unless you really need to tweak, you can leave most of the settings as default and you can quickly have a paid membership site operational in no time.
Video Review
I created a video to show you some of the great features from WP eMember and how I use it. When I setup my membership sites, I always like to use multiple membership levels and even offer some free content to build my list (using a free membership level).
I also like have content that dynamically changes depending on the membership level of the person logged in. Not many other membership plugins have such a rich feature set… and definitely not for this price.
The one-off price allows you to use the plugins on unlimited domains and also includes lifetime upgrades and support. This level of value is the reason why Tips and Tricks HQ is an industry leader in WordPress plugins.
Like the quality of the screencast? I use the Screenflow app for it!
Video Review Details
For the screencast, I created a demo site with four different membership levels:
- Not logged in: Anyone can view this content.
- Free Membership Level: People can signup for free to access this protected content. Great for building your list.
- Silver Membership Level: Paid members only.
- Gold Membership Level: Paid members only.

To call the backrest of the Sophia Office chair simply �decorative� does it a disservice - it is an inspired cut-out design reminiscent of branches or stained glass. Available in walnut, wenge (a near-black wood from Africa) or white lacquer, the backrest design alone is enough to inspire you to buy. Add the smooth leatherette plus swivel and gas lift features, and the Sophia Office Chair is simply a must-have for your office.

Rick Bellaire, one of the chief organizers of the new Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame, had an early feel for the state's gifts to the national culture.
His grandfather talked of playing with Bobby Hackett before the guitar, trumpet, and cornet player took his place in the jazz pantheon. His father, a musician and record collector, never failed to point out that, say, jazz pianist Dave McKenna hailed from Woonsocket.
And Bellaire still remembers reading a story, in the Providence Journal, about Elvis Presley recording a song by Rhode Island musicians Peter Andreoli and Vincent Ponci, Jr. (known as Anders & Ponci).
"It gave me hope," says Bellaire, a guitarist and piano player who had dreams of breaking into the national music scene.
He never quite made it out of the state. But he's played in local rock and folk bands for decades, now, and collected some 10,000 albums along the way — more than a few of them from Rhode Island acts.
And he has never lost his appreciation for the music of the Biggest Little. The Hall of Fame is about Bellaire and his co-conspirators spreading that appreciation.
"We've produced a lot of big stars," he says, of the state. "But not many people make that connection."
The Hall of Fame's first class of inductees includes McKenna, John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, Roomful of Blues, Eileen Farrell, Oliver Shaw, and three acts inducted into an earlier iteration of the hall: Anders & Poncia, Ken Lyon, and Gerry Granahan.
The collection speaks to the sweep of the state's influence: from Cafferty and his up-tempo classic rock, which reached its zenith with the Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack hit "On the Dark Side," to Roomful and its Grammy-nominated R&B, to Farrell, called "one of the finest American sopranos of the 20th century" by London's Daily Telegraph.
Farrell, who was born in Willimantic, Connecticut and moved to Woonsocket as a teenager, died in 2002, after a decades-long career that included performances with the Metropolitan Opera and record sales that made her one of the most prominent classical artists of all time.
But Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band and Roomful are still playing, and they will headline a show at the induction ceremony February 26 at the Met in Pawtucket. There will also be a tribute to McKenna, the jazz pianist, featuring his sister Jean O'Donnell.
The crowd will get a look at mock-ups of what will become permanent displays for each of the eight inductees in the hallways of Hope Artiste Village, a restored mill that houses the Met and a string of artists and entrepreneurs.
There is space for 70 permanent displays at Hope Artiste. But the Hall's organizers envision more than straight-up tributes to inductees. They'd also like to create exhibits on Rhode Island's music history.
Bellaire talks of photographing memorabilia. And eventually, he says, the Hall hopes to find storage space — at Hope Artiste or elsewhere — for the trove of records, posters, and the like now scattered in the private collections of Rhode Island music fans.
Bellaire says the Hall would also like to digitize large swaths of the state's musical oeuvre, much of it only available on vinyl and tape at the moment. And there are plans, in time, for an online Hall featuring the music and stories of inductees and a wider range of Rhode Island musicians.
The organization also hopes to get younger, contemporary artists involved in its project — part of an ambitious plan to become the central repository for a colorful and often-underappreciated musical heritage.

Hi guys!!!Its me, Erika, and I'm here to be myself and do some awesome photos and more! I love to be able to be myself and do what makes me feel happy. I love being able to show all of the emotions I have inside by the photos i take on the outside. Photography is an expressive form of art that is absolutely beautiful and can show so much! It takes a lot to get me angry and people always think i am a very calm person, but i always have a fire inside! Sometimes it takes such a beautiful art form like photography for me to be able to show all of the passion i hold....
I'm open to trying things new as long as they are not violent, nude, or too dark...i prefer beautiful work like glamour, fashion, and things soft.
I do not do nudity or adult work...sorry

Fox Run Park arson: Sheriff's Office needs your help
Fox Run Park arson: Sheriff's Office needs your help
El Paso County, Colo. - There doesn't appear to be any similarity between the fires in Fox Run Regional Park and the one in Black Forest, but the El Paso County Sheriff's Office says that could always change.
Investigators are blaming an arsonist for starting two fires in the park on Tuesday. Thanks to a teen's 911 call, firefighters were able to find the fires in minutes and stop them from spreading. KRDO News Channel 13 went back to the park on Thursday.
Fox Run Park is a popular place to be on any warm, sunny day. So when people hear an arsonist set two fires, surprised is the word of the day.
"I've lived in this park for about seven or eight years and I've never seen anybody attempt anything like that and this is such a good, good area to live in," said Fox Run Park visitor Troy Brennan.
An alert teen-Jared Rising- spotted the fire and didn't hesitate to call 911.
"Because of the proximity, because of the timing we feel that these were acts of arson," said Lt. Jeff Kramer of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
The thought of intentionally starting two fires has people outraged.
"We moved away for a few years and then we just moved back. And so it's just very frustrating knowing of the Waldo Canyon Fire and then Black Forest happens. And now you hear about two more little ones that luckily got put out," said park visitor Bruce Barrell.
"We definitely want to catch this person and set an example and make sure nobody does this again," Brennan.
People who use the park tell KRDO they find it very difficult for sheriffs to be able to find the person who's responsible for those fires because there's just so many people that use it.
The most important lesson though: keep your eyes peeled and your ears open.
"If somebody is doing something like that, an example absolutely needs to be set so that no one even thinks about doing something like this," said Brennan.
There are no suspects yet, but if you have any information, it could help investigators catch the arsonist. So be sure to call the sheriff's office at 719 - 390 - 5555.

st: Standardized coefficients using nestreg: svy
Sun, 06 Nov 2011 18:17:19 -0500
Hello All,
We are hoping to get standardized betas when using nested regressions and the svy commands. The usual command (,beta) doesn't work with the svy commands. Adding listcoef after the nestreg command, unfortunately, only provides the betas for the last step. One can repeat each step of the nested regression separately, adding listcoef after each step, however the sample n in earlier steps does not always match the n included in the nested regression, as cases with missing values on later steps are excluded from all steps in nestreg.
Is there another way to get the betas? I suppose one could limit the sample to those with full data on all variables, OR could standardize all the variables before running the regression. Would love to hear if there's another option.

A research team led by Professor John Wikswo of Vanderbilt University has developed low-cost, small-volume, metering peristaltic micro pumps and micro valves. They can be utilized either as a stand-alone device, or incorporated into microfluidic subsystems for research instruments or miniaturized point-of-care instruments, Lab on a Chip devices, and disposable fluid delivery cartridges. The key advantage of this pump is that it can deliver flow rates as low as a few hundred nL/min to tens of μL/min against pressure heads as high as 20 psi, at approximately 1/10th the cost of stand-alone commercial syringe and peristaltic pumps. The RPV can implement complicated fluid control protocols and fluidic mixing without bulky pneumatic controllers. Both the RPPM and RPV can be readily customized for specific applications.
Addressed Need
A major challenge in translating microfluidic and Lab-on-a Chip technologies into marketable devices is the controlled movement of small volumes of fluids. The present RPPM and RPV technologies provide a low cost solution to this problem. The specific attractive attributes of this technology are the need for minimal hardware, almost no dead space, the absence of microfluidic interfaces, low time lag and most importantly very low cost.
Technology Description
While most peristaltic pumps squeeze a tube by driving rollers around a bent piece of flexible tubing, the Vanderbilt RPPM rolls caged balls over a microfluidic channel the same way one would roll an apple in a circle between one's hands.
Traveling peristaltic compression of a fluid-filled channel is created by the rotational translation of steel balls (4) guided by a floating, circular plastic cage (3) to form a simple thrust bearing. The motor-driven disk (1) has an elastomer washer (2) matched to the elastomer layer (5) that seals the microfluidic channel (6) in the microfluidic device (7). The low-cost pump motor and drive head (1-4) can be fabricated distinct from the disposable, sterilizable microfluidic cartridge (5-7). Configuration of the channels radially rather than circumferentially converts the device into a Rotary Planar Valve (RPV) that can be used to select between different on-chip flow paths at much lower cost than competing technologies.
Unique Properties and Applications
· RPPMs provide microfluidic control capability at ~1/10th the cost of standard commercial peristaltic microfluidic systems
· The microfluidic design, pump dimensions and rates, and valve configurations can be readily customized for specific applications
· RPPMs and RPVs can be readily incorporated directly into a disposable microfluidic chip
· No pneumatic connection is required to control either the RPPM or RPV. The motors in the devices can be powered by a small rechargeable battery
Technology Development Status
· Several versions of RPPMs have been implemented with NEMA 17, 11, and 8 stepper motors and a miniature DC-gearhead motor for $150 or less
· RPPMs have been tested without failure for over 2.5 million revolutions

An illustration of how microfluidic channels in the Rotary Planar Valve (RPV) have radial sections that miss one of four stationary balls to create a valve that allows flow in only one of four channels. Channels are selected by rotating the caged balls when desired. Other valves can be created with different channel layouts.

The Richard Curtis film-date colleague emails, suggesting a gallery opening, then a drink. I accept, with a tiny shiver of excitement, a lightness I haven't felt much recently. "Is it a date?" my friends ask.
"I don't know," I reply, truthfully. I can't decide. He seems to quite like my company, but he's exquisitely polite so I might be misreading him. We've definitely crossed some line from just being colleagues, but I don't know what's on the other side.
The issue of whether it's a date or not is resolved fairly easily, when I turn up at the gallery opening, self-conscious and overdressed in a short dress, heels and what I hope, optimistically, is age-defying make up (the age difference, though it's only five years, makes me nervous). I locate him easily enough: he's right next to the wine, in the middle of a group of friends. Ah. Not a date then. I don't actually mind, we have a nice evening – paint-stripper wine, a Thai meal and a seedy bar – and his friends are fun. I need more friends anyway. At the end of the night he drives me home again and we make tentative plans to go to a concert. We share an awkward, hovering cheek kiss and, emboldened and slightly drunk, I squeeze his arm in a possibly matey, possibly not, way as I get out of the car.
The concert follows a similar pattern: I can't work out whether it's a date; other people turn up dispelling any lingering confusion; we all have a pleasant enough time, then he drives me home. We do this a couple of times over a fortnight or so. Nothing happens between us at all in that time. We get on well, but there's no kind of progression. I start to wonder if he just feels sorry for me and is including me in his plans out of kindness, because I'm on my own. Even so, I enjoy it. It's a pleasant distraction from real life, which is filled with unsettled children, domestic chaos, sad X, money worries. It's all too hard, so I think about what to wear on our inconclusive dates and what music I should pretend to like.
Our next night out kicks off in the now-familiar mode: dinner with some of his friends in a restaurant. From there, we move on to a bar, but as I am buying a round of drinks, I feel the familiar dark circles appearing in the periphery of my vision, and my head starts to swim. The next thing I know, I am lying on the floor of the bar, bleary and confused.
"Are you OK?" people are saying above me, their concerned faces oddly magnified in my field of vision.
"I'm fine. I just faint sometimes, I'll be fine." I don't feel fine. Everything seems very loud and strange.
Richard Curtis colleague helps me to my feet and sits quietly with me at an outside table as a rowdy, town centre Saturday night unfolds in the street alongside us. I realise he is holding my hand. He asks again if I'm OK, if I need a glass of water.
It's nice to have someone being solicitous; I'm pathetically grateful to be looked after. I'm still feeling a little woozy, so I rest my head on his shoulder. He gives me a hug. We stay like that for 10 minutes or so, then we go back inside. He hasn't let go of my hand. It feels very good to touch someone; to touch him.
We have another couple of drinks, then we go on to a tiny, boiling-hot gay club. It's busy and through some accidental, but welcome, choreography, we lose most of the group along the way and end up rammed in a back corner, just Richard Curtis colleague and me. There, in the sweaty darkness, after the transvestite cabaret, to the accompaniment of Rihanna, we kiss. "We kiss". That sounds so organic but of course it isn't. I kiss him, in fact, impatient for something to happen. To my great relief, he responds enthusiastically. It's quite bad form, straight kissing in this club, so we make a furtive exit and hail a taxi. As I give the driver my address, I'm half euphoric, half apprehensive about what comes next.

Actually it helps tremendously. The problem is CCC doesn't have a clue how to set things up. There are games where I have frame jumps and also severe light flickering to the point that its irritating to look at the screen. After a few tweaks here and there related to crossfire and everything is smooth and the frame rate seems to increase.Originally Posted by rollo
You said it yourself youve been using the beta which is has indeed been out since 13.9
14.1 beta was the launch of the product.
Does not actually help alot sadly with frames still jumping widely all over the place. ( New benches for 4k with the required hardware ( 2 to 3 r290x are out there ) that show the problem is still not really done 15-20% is getting better ( it was in the high 50s) but still too high ( Nvidia is sub 10%)

Fingers crossed that the full release will sort out crossfire.

Just like I said in my previous post about frame pacing not working, all it takes is over-riding catalyst's settings and you'll probably get good results. Its mostly just trial and error but thankfully there isn't much to change.

Anyway back to my BF4 testing: with my resolution @ 5840x1080 (bezel corrected), directX ingame setting and the video settings at Ultra I was getting an average of around 50fps. It was much smoother than with frame pacing on.
I then changed the video setting from directx to Mantle, re-started the game and tried again. It wouldn't last more than a minute before blue screening.
I tried this a few times and even reduced the overclock on my CPU (4930K @ a standard overclock of 4.6ghz) but each time it would bluescreen. As it was late last night, I didn't think to turn off all overclocking, but I might give this a go at the weekend - just to see if it will work.
When I turned frame pacing back on the game would play but it was far more laggy.
I'm even considering installing Windows 8.1 to see if the results would be any better in directx 11.2
**edit** having just read the 14.1 release notes, they do say that crossfire setups in BF4 with mantle are a known issue and recommend playing in directx mode. I await the new drivers with bated breath.

Former Iowa Democratic Party Executive Director Jean Hessburg will serve as Campaign Director
National Communications Team includes Presidential campaign veterans Jamal Simmons, Roger Salazar and Bill Buck
(Las Vegas, NV) Today, Tom Collins, Chairman of the Nevada Democratic Party announced the hiring of several experienced Iowa Caucus and presidential campaign veterans to advise the Nevada state party for the 2008 Presidential Caucuses.
Jean Hessburg, who served as Executive Director of the Iowa Democratic Party during the 2002 and 2004 election cycles will be the Campaign Director providing overall direction for the Nevada Caucuses. Jayson Sime who served as the Iowa Democratic Partys Field and Canvass Director in 2004 will join the state party full time to assist her. [more below]
Jamal Simmons and Bill Buck of New Future Communications and Roger Salazar of Acosta Salazar, a full service campaign consulting firm based in Sacramento, California, have been hired to provide national communications counsel. Simmons and Buck have been involved in every presidential campaign cycle since 1992, including serving as the traveling and national press secretaries for retired General Wesley Clark in 2004. Salazar has experience at every level of Democratic politics including serving as national spokesman for U.S. Senator John Edwards 2004 primary campaign. [more below]
We are thrilled that this team is joining our effort, Chairman Collins said today. These four national political veterans bring tremendous experience in the presidential campaign arena and from a state with a long history of running caucuses at this level. In the weeks to come, candidates can look forward to a calendar of upcoming events, debate and public forum schedules and a detailed plan for how the caucuses will work.
The Nevada Democratic Party will hold the second caucus of the 2008 presidential nominating calendar following Iowa. As the first state in the west to hold an early caucus, presidential candidates will have the opportunity to express their views on important issues affecting all westerners such as education, protecting the environment and natural resources, immigration and sprawl.
Jean Hessburg served as Executive Director of the Iowa Democratic Party during the 2002 and 2004 election cycles. During her tenure, she managed Iowa's 2004 precinct caucuses, which were the most successful in the state's history because of record turnout and a rapid, accurate reporting system. The Iowa Precinct Caucuses, which are held every two years in more than 2,000 locations across the state, attract thousands of reporters from across the nation and the world during presidential elections. During the 2002 election, Hessburg managed the Iowa Democratic Party's successful efforts to re-elect U.S. Senator Tom Harkin, Governor Tom Vilsack and Lt. Governor Sally Pederson, and Congressman Leonard Boswell. This effort included overseeing more than 300 field and administrative staff and a $3.4 million budget.
During the 2004 election, she oversaw the state party's efforts, which included the John Kerry for President Campaign, as well as Congressman Boswell's successful re-election campaign and gains by Democrats in state House and Senate campaigns. She supervised 27 support and 147 field staff during the 2004 campaign. Hessburg has a bachelor's degree from the University of Northern Iowa.
Jayson Sime has worked the past three elections cycles in Iowa Democratic campaigns. During the 2006 campaign, he was manager for U.S. Congressman Leonard Boswells successful re-election campaign. His efforts included writing and implementing a comprehensive campaign plan; managing a staff of seven people; and managing a $2 million budget.
In 2004, he served as the Iowa Democratic Partys Field and Canvass Director. His duties included hiring, training and managing a staff of five Regional Field Directors, 50 Field Organizers, 20 Team Leaders, and 100 Canvassers. He also managed GOTV (Get-Out-the-Vote) efforts in 17 counties in Eastern Iowa, which included assisting GOTV directors in planning Election Day efforts in their assigned counties.
During the Iowa precinct caucuses in 2004, he served as the state partys
Caucus Director. His duties focused on coordinating and organizing
99 county parties across the state to prepare for the caucus. This
included conducting caucus trainings for local county parties, elected
officials and presidential campaign staff; overseeing confirmation of caucus

Bad rbz update
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I've visited these forums a number of times since I bought my Grand Cherokee. You guys rock.
So I heard there was a new software update available for the RBZ radio in my 2011 MyGig RBZ unit. I gathered that from this thread: New Software Update MyGIG RBZ-RB2-RHB / 33.01.23
So I excitedly downloaded the software and tried to perform the install. It didn't go well. Last night, I followed the directions and the radio looked like it was going to install. But one hour later, the screen was locked up at "Updating software. This may take a few minutes" (or something to that effect).
So I left the thing running all night. Got up this morning and it was still locked up. So I removed the fuse the re-inserted it. The radio came back on and actually had progress bars indicating the software was finally installing. Yaay! That step evidently completed and the unit re-booted.
Well, now it is stuck in a boot-loop. It displays the JEEP logo for 5 minutes or so then reboots and does the same thing again. I just got back from a 2 hour road trip and it did this the whole time.
The biggest question I'd love to have answered is this: Did I do a "firmware" update or a hard drive update? I own a computer company. I can re-image the hard drive. But if I did a firmware update, I'm pretty sure I'm screwed.

If Dr. Seuss wrote GHOSTBUSTERS - There Goes a Gozerian, Ghostbuster
Here's an awesome piece of art that gives us an entertaining look at what The Ghostbusters would look like if the story was developed by Dr. Seuss. The image is called There Goes a Gozerian, Ghostbuster, and it was created by DeviantArt artist DrFaustusAU. This is the same artist that created the Dr. Seuss H.P. Lovecraft inspired art The Call of the Cthulhu.

Travel Blogs from San Rafael
Smooth Start
It's now about 5:30 p.m. local time in San Rafael (9:30 p.m. at home). We just had dinner at a local Mexican eatery and are now watching the NFL season opener between the NE Patriots and the Steelers. Our nonstop flight from Boston to SFO was smooth and uneventful, as was Freddie's from NC via Dallas. We landed within 20 minutes of each other, just as planned. (Boyd's seatmate on our flight was a former major league pitcher who is now a scout ...
Day 11 - Chicken Fried Steak
... of the cells - exactly the same as Frank Morris and pals in 1962, using papier mâché heads to conceal their escape. The island itself started life as a military outpost, protecting the bay from invaders. It was turned into a prison almost immediately, being an army detention centre from 1859. It was taken over and turned into a penitentiary in 1934 and ran until 1963, closing due to it being non cost-effective (apparently, as it had no sewage system, it was too ...
Day Twenty Two San Francisco
We got up early this morning, got ready and hit the road! By 8am we were on highway 1 and enjoying the coastal views! It was very pretty, and a reasonably nice drive! We stopped a couple of times to get views and saw a beach full of seals - which is when I found out that my camera had killed itself - I think maybe that the batteries I bought are duds...either that or...bugger. Anyway we drove on to Monterey were we found an Apple ...
Day 1 and what a day!
... to it's clever name. We came upon the Irish store and found out about a great Irish Pub called the Irish Bank. It was fun to climb up the musical stairs. Each step you take plays a note, really cool.
After visiting the tourist bureau we walked to Pier 33 (more on this in two days) which is the Pier that the Alcatraz tours leave ...
Things begin to change......
... to travel and see places I only dreamed of as a child.
We arrive in San Rafael and get a room at one of the extended stay hotels. Our incredibly friendly and helpful desk clerk, Luis, asked us in a very spanish accent: "What brings you to beautiful San Rafael?" I tell him we chose this place mainly due to it having a laundry in the hotel and we needed that. He replied "Hey.....we take 'em how we get 'em." They are ...

For me, I think it's between 9 pm and 1 am.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
For me, I think it's between 9 pm and 1 am.
early in the morning. I am usually up by 6:00 am and get some sewing in before anything else. Also like to sew in early afternoon, after every thing else gets done. , but if an idea hits me, I might be up all night working, can't sleep until I work what ever it is out.
Late at night as well for me, everything quiets down and everyone else is usually sleeping and I just let it rip. I am not so much a morning person like Ninnie, It is hard to find people to play with at that time though. I am not sure why?
I have found as the seasons change so does my schedule...not much for sewing in the hottest part of the day so mornings/evenings in the spring/summer and afternoons and evenings in the fall/winter.
I like to sew when DH is watching sports or cowboy movies. That is usually late afternoon or evening.
I get the most sewing done in the
early afternoon to about dinner
time. If I am really on a roll, I will
sew some, after dinner!!
I'm an early riser, so I may sew some at that time then stop for chores, errands, etc. I'm usually sewing again after noon until 4PM or so when I will fix a meal.
I usually sew at night.
It's calm in the house. Nothing needs to be done and I can hide away. Sometimes I forget the time and greet the sun coming up. oops! lol
Afternoon for me.....I have to get other things done first :roll: :roll: :roll:
For me it varies according to the time of year. In the summer, it is in the afternoon when it is usually too warm to do much outside. I guess that is why I have not done much sewing this summer...it has been way cooler here in IN than normal. During the school year, I sew in the early evening. I have to be careful because I tend to say to myself that I'll just sew a little longer and the next thing I know, I'm up way too late. As a kdg teacher, I have to be on top of things all day long, so I really try to get to bed at a decent time.

Stock Picks: Convergys, Rosetta Stone, Take-Two, Texas Instruments
Convergys: Kaufman Bros. equity analyst Karl Keirstead reaffirmed a sell rating on shares of Convergys (CVG) on June 8. He lowered a price target on shares of the Cincinnati-based operator of customer-service call centers to $9 from $11.
In a note, Keirstead said that Wall Street sentiment toward the call center outsourcing industry weakened after "most vendors cited continued volume and pricing pressure on their [first-quarter earnings conference] calls, given fears of softness in Europe (a minor issue for Convergys, given its relatively small European exposure)." Based on his industry checks, Keirstead said he believes call center volumes weakened further in the second quarter of 2010.
"The bull case on Convergys shares has been rooted in a widely held view that the new [chief executive] is likely to break up the company" by selling its billing software unit following the disposal of the company's human resources outsourcing unit, or by seeking "even more fundamental strategic alternatives," the analyst said. Wall Street is valuing the core call center business at approximately $850 million, according to Keirstead.
"[W]e remain cautious about the overall industry fundamentals and the ability of Convergys to meet its 2010 financial targets," he wrote.
Rosetta Stone: R.W. Baird equity analyst Amy Junker on June 9 lowered a rating on shares of language-learning software maker Rosetta Stone (RST) to neutral from outperform. She has a price target on the shares of $26.
On June 8, Arlington, Va.-based Rosetta Stone said in a statement that Brian Helman intends to leave his position as chief financial officer of the company on Aug. 31, in order to relocate back to Florida.
In a note, Junker said she was changing the rating on the shares due to the timing of the CFO's departure. The analyst said she continues to view the company's long-term growth prospects favorably but is "hard-pressed to recommend putting new money to work" in the stock, as she believes the timing of Helman's departure "adds risk to the [Rosetta Stone] story," given its pending next-generation product launch in the 2010 third quarter and the "significant" investments the company is making internationally.
Junker maintained earnings per share (EPS) estimates of 96¢ for 2010 and $1.46 for 2011.
Take-Two Interactive Software: Standard & Poor's equity analyst Jim Yin raised a rating on shares of Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO) to sell from strong sell on June 9. He raised a price target on the shares to $10 from $8.
On June 8, Take-Two, the publisher of Grand Theft Auto video games, boosted its earnings outlook after the new release Red Dead Redemption sold more than 5 million copies.
Take-Two said it will post a full-year loss, excluding certain items, of 10¢ to 30¢ a share, narrower than the 39¢ loss projected by 17 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. The company said it will report a third-quarter loss of 10¢ to 20¢ a share, compared with the 40¢ loss estimated by analysts.
The company also reported second-quarter results, with net income of $16.8 million, or 20¢ a share, compared with a loss of $10.1 million, or 13¢, a year earlier. Sales in the period ended April 30 rose 54 percent, to $268 million.
In a posting on the S&P MarketScope service, Yin said the company's second-quarter EPS of 20¢ topped his estimate of 7¢ EPS; Take-Two's revenue from continuing operations of $268 million were $12 million below his forecast.
The analyst narrowed a loss per share estimate for 2010 to 26¢ from a loss of 65¢.
"We think the company is executing well by focusing on top-rated games," Yin wrote. "However, we see a difficult sales environment in which success of one game is coming at the expense of other titles."
Texas Instruments: Credit Suisse equity analyst John Pitzer maintained an outperform rating and $32 price target on shares of Texas Instruments (TXN) on June 9.
On June 8, Texas Instruments, the second-biggest U.S. chipmaker, said sales and profit will be at the upper end of earlier targets, buoyed by demand for industrial machinery.
Second-quarter profit will be 60¢ to 64¢ on sales of at least $3.45 billion, the Dallas company said today in a statement. That compares with April predictions of 56¢ to 64¢ a share on revenue of at least $3.31 billion.
In a note, Pitzer said demand for the company's products continues to be driven by strength in sales to industrial customers and growth across its business segments, particularly analog and embedded chips.
He maintained estimates for calendar 2010 of $13.58 billion in revenue and EPS of $2.35, and for calendar 2011 of $13.96 billion and $2.50, respectively.

Choosing the perfect bridal lingerie has never been easier, with a very feminine selection of underwear designs suited to all figures and every style of gown.
Undergarments are the essential foundation of your outfit and can substantially alter the way your gown looks and fits. The last thing you want to spoil your day is bulges and lines spoiling your silhouette.
Buy the dress and then the lingerie but preferably try both on together to make sure you make your final choice.
Professional fitting is generally recommended for your wedding lingerie as you'll want to look pretty but comfort should be considered too. Your bra needs to be supportive but comfortable without wires poking into you. There's much variety, depending on your dress and figure, with seamless, strapless and long-line bras.
A strapless dress might require a bustier or torselette to uplift the breasts. A dress with a plunging neckline might call for an adhesive bra which has no straps or back, stays on for hours and is supportive and comfortable.
Slimming undergarments and one piece body shapers work wonders in smoothing silhouettes and can be worn for hours without discomfort. Panties should be comfortable but you need to avoid unsightly bulges or you could wear panty hose with built in underwear or a G-string.
For the evening there are some gorgeous sexy pieces to slip into to impress your new husband.
