India rejects OIC suggestion to allow mission to J&K
Clashes between Indian and Pakistani troops in February were among the worst violations of the ceasefire.
New Delhi: Strongly rejecting Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's suggestion of allowing an OIC fact- finding mission to Jammu and Kashmir to assess rights situation there, India today said the grouping has no "locus standi" on such matters and termed suggestions to this effect by Pakistan Foreign Minister as "propagandist".
"The OIC has no locus standi on matters concerning the internal affairs of India or the recent incidents on the LoC. We have already clarified that UNMOGIP has no relevance in regard to the latter.
"The propagandist suggestions made in the Foreign Minister's statement are neither new nor helpful," official spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs said. He was responding to a question regarding the statement made by the Foreign Minister of Pakistan at the recently concluded OIC Contact Group meeting on Jammu and Kashmir held in Cairo.
Backing Pakistan, the OIC on February 7 asked India to allow an OIC fact-finding mission, international rights groups and humanitarian organisations to visit Jammu and Kashmir to assess the rights situation. A joint communique, adopted at an OIC summit that concluded in Cairo, "called upon India to allow the OIC fact-finding mission, the international human rights groups and humanitarian organisations to visit Jammu and Kashmir", a statement issued by the Pakistan Foreign Office had said on February 7.
The communique had also welcomed Pakistan's proposal for an investigation by the UN Military Observers Group for India and Pakistan into recent ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC). It expressed "deep concern" over the ceasefire violations.
The communique had further called on India to undertake an "independent investigation into the discovery of mass graves and ensure free and fair trial of those responsible" for "heinous crimes".
The Pakistani delegation to the summit was led by Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, who had called for an probe into the ceasefire violations on the LoC by the OIC. The move came in the wake of India's rejection of Pakistan's call for a probe by the UNMOGIP.
Clashes between Indian and Pakistani troops last month were among the worst violations of the ceasefire that was put in place along the 742-km LoC in late 2003.
One Indian soldier was beheaded by Pakistani troops while the mutilated body of another jawan was found in the Poonch sector along the LoC. Pakistan claims three of its soldiers were killed in Indian firing.

- - Training question (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-our-puppy-basic/416282-training-question.html)
Training question
With previous dogs we always taught "stay". We could leave the gate open in the back yard or the front door open and give the "stay" command and never have a problem with the dog crossing the threshold. We could leave the gate open all day, or my wife could leave the front door open while unloading groceries from the car.
Now a decade later we are training a new pup. We are going through formal training for the first time ever. This is a new concept in training from what we have read through the "decades". Let's just call it new style of training. Our trainer has a really good balance of +P and -P in my opinion. However, she says there is no more "stay". You put them in a down, climb or sit and they should stay there until released or "Free". I get it, my wife is having a little more trouble with it. Not that she doesn't agree....
How do you teach them not to walk out the door or gate if you don't necessarily want them in a sit, down or climb but simply don't want them to bolt out if the door or gate is open? Should we teach "stay" anyway? How do you do this?
Our pup is doing so well. He graduated puppy class with flying colors, he is relatively well behaved for his age at 16 weeks this thursday. We are very proud of him and are trying to stay two steps ahead to ward off bad behavior. He does extremely well with a structured training session, he has trouble without his treats or over the top distractions/excitement. We are getting there but this is going to become a problem eventually and I'm just trying to get ahead of it.
Shut the gate on them if they try going out without being told to go ahead or get in or whatever. Do that at every door or gate.
when you didnt teach a release word, how did your dog know when he could move again? did he just decide for himself?
imo a dog should sit at every door, gate, car anyways. i never open any door for my dog unless he sits. he doesnt have to be told. its a given he sits at every door.
With +R you should always provide an alternative - don't go there, but what is instead? Sitting or lying down? Come on, it is hardly stimulating. Keep your gate open, recall your dog every time he sees something interesting through, take him to the gate on loose leash yourself straight away walking slowly, step out yourself first and go for a short walk around. It works as "If you want that - you should do this". At the beginning of training you should achieve your dog calling you to come with him to the gate by jumping and hitting you slightly. You don't have to go out if you don't feel like it, just poke your head out and let your dog do the same. If your dog barks - it's just fine, train him to bark on command while looking through the gate. Train him "Quiet " after, "voice"-"quiet" in repetition. That is rewarding. Your dog learns to stay inside only because you don't go there. "Stay" works only because you call him out after 1-2-3-30 minutes and reward with a walk.
If your pup shows such a success now - most likely he will remain like this all his life. My Lucy is a "walking goodness", it never took longer than one day to learn a new command, she is three years now and learns like a five months old puppy. Her last achievement - to search a buildind site for the object with one of smells she knows while we are waiting at the entrance. And, if you might guessed, the principles of training are similar - "you can get what you want if you do this". The NILIF gets to the core of the dog's brain, it was the greatest treasure I ever found.But you know ...We are humans, we cannot be satisfied, we always want something we don't have. Lucy is not a sports dog.
I am assuming that the OP would give the stay command and it meant the dog could go about its business but not go through the door or gate. Not be completely still.

well then just teach "stay" just like you taught it to your other dog. if stay to you means dont cross an invisible line then teach it to mean that. just dont sit,stay or down,stay. stay is its own command.
Now I'm not sure when to use stay lol.

Use "wait". Not "stay" if the dog is not in a specific command. Personally I don't use "stay". If I tell my dog to "sit" he should stay sitting until I tell him otherwise. But wait can be general command telling a dog to not cross over a threshold, but still allowed to move about behind said threshold.

For my dogs "stay" has always meant "stay there, where I put you, until I return to you and release you or give another command".
"wait" means wait there until I give you another command, which might come from a distance i.e I might call the dog to me, get them to sit / down or stand, or release them altogether.
The dogs learn the difference.. If I want to go out of the gate without the dogs, I'll say "wait", at which point they will stop, one I'm through I'll release them with a "go on then" (my standard command for do what you want). If I want them to come through the gate I'll say "sit", then call them through once I'm through..

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday named a close U.S.-born political adviser with reported links in the past to the Republican party as Israel's new ambassador to Washington.
Ron Dermer, 42, was widely seen in Israel as having steered Netanyahu toward showing almost overt support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney in his failed 2012 electoral bid to unseat President Barack Obama, with whom Netanyahu had had frosty ties.
Israeli media reported that Dermer, though officially welcomed by the Obama administration, had had ties with the U.S. leader's Republican rivals.
During the campaign for the November election, Netanyahu had a high-profile meeting with Romney when he visited Israel, in contrast with past Israeli practice of avoiding publicity that may be seen as expressing support for any U.S. candidate.
The Haaretz newspaper wrote on its website that Dermer was seen as a "clear supporter of the Republican party", whose family has had close ties with the party. State-owned Channel One television said he was seen as someone who supported Romney.
Dermer served as an economics attache in Washington before becoming a top aide to Netanyahu in 2009.
Netanyahu said in a statement announcing Dermer's position that he was confident the new envoy would "loyally represent Israel in the U.S. capital".
Once approved by the Israeli cabinet, Dermer would replace the current ambassador, Michael Oren.

Children attending a summer camp at the Dallas Zoo have been helping researchers at TSRHC develop a mobility test to measure the functional ability of young amputees.
The test has been available for adults for a while: the Comprehensive High-level Activity Mobility Predictor (CHAMP) was designed by the military to monitor the progress of veterans with amputations. Researchers at TSRHC have decided to take CHAMP and adjust its parameters to fit younger amputees. To achieve this, they turned to the Dallas Zoo and their summer camp attendees for help.
Children at the camp were put through a four-part course, similar to an obstacle course, which timed them as they performed various physical activities. One portion of the test included balancing on one foot with the other foot held over a small cone.
The results of the summer camp kids will be used as a base line for the new CHAMP test for young amputees. That way, a patient's progress can be compared with others in her own age group, instead of relying on the original test designed for adults.
Since last summer, researchers have gathered the results of 275 campers ages 5 to 14, and they plan on testing hundreds more campers this summer. Ultimately, they hope to have data from 100 kids in each age group from 5 to 18, so the test can be comprehensive.
With the help of these able-bodied camp goers, soon patients at TSRHC will have an effective CHAMP test to measure their progress.

Wendy and Lucy
There is such a thin, thin line between managing in the world and not managing.
Michele Williams plays Wendy, a young woman travelling from Indiana to Alaska in an old car to look for work in the canneries. Her only companion is her dog Lucy, a golden haired sharp eyed mutt to whom she is deeply attached.
Money is tight, so Wendy is sleeping in her car and making do. Then, one morning, the car won't start. A security guard moves her on and then her dog goes missing. If you have ever lost a dog or had a child wander off, even briefly, you will know the terrible fear and panic which follows. Michelle Williams' Wendy tries gamely to keep it all in. But the next few hours bring her close to despair.
This is a quiet performance, but an exceptional one. Williams holds the screen for the entire 80 minutes of this film, as Wendy has to deal with the kind of setbacks which would give any of us a horrendous day, but which most of us survive because we have resources: a car, a phone, a phone number, a job, a home, friends and family to fall back on for emotional and financial support. Wendy has none of these, though not all the strangers she meets are unkind.
But this is really a study of what Emile Durkheim called anomie, or Marx called alienation: what we are watching in this film is the withdrawal of the few props Wendy has.
Williams' Wendy is physically strong, and careful. But she is withdrawn; you can see her stiffening herself against the blows. How does one brace oneself against a slow dwindling of hope? It's an intelligent, utterly convincing performance, all the more powerful for being underplayed.
Wendy and Lucy was adapted by John Raymond and Kelly Reichardt from Raymond's short story Train Choir We are never far from the sound of the train in this film. Rail was the transport of the poor during the Great Depression and, as Don Watson's book American Journeys make clear, it still is—though some may not have a ticket to ride.
Kelly Reichardt is a New Yorker whose last film, Old Joy, also written with Raymond, was a road movie exploring equally complex emotions as two friends—men in mid-life—set out on a camping trip to revisit old haunts and recapture an old friendship. It too was beautifully shot and powerfully minimalist in dialogue, but it was baggy in parts. Wendy and Lucy is perfectly calibrated: nothing is spare. Cinematographer Sam Levy and sound designer Leslie Schatz do a brilliant job placing us not just in the town where Wendy is stranded, but in her psyche.
Reichardt has rare gifts: she has a great eye and she gives her actors the space to work subtly in performance and us the space to reflect on what we see.
If you prefer films with explosions and car chases, Wendy and Lucy may not be for you (indeed the car barely moves 30 yards in this film). But for thoughtful filmgoers, this is a very timely and affecting study of what happens as one by one social props are stripped away and ties are broken.
And for those inclined to worry about the lost dog, I can only say it will be all right. In this film, it's the lost people who will haunt us.

Thomas Buchholz Affiliate
PhD, Bioenergy Sustainability Assessments, SUNY-ESF
MS, Sustainable Forestry, Freiburg University
Email: email@example.com
Website | CV
Thomas Buchholz works as Senior Scientist at Spatial Informatics Group LLC and is a forest scientist by training. His expertise covers American and European forest-related bioenergy research, policy and economics, ecosystem service and sustainability assessments, and carbon accounting. In the course of his doctoral and post-doctoral research, Thomas has developed sustainability frameworks for bioenergy systems with substantive stakeholder inputs, and tested them on case studies in the US and abroad. His work is intended to contribute to a more elaborate approach to assess social, environmental, or economic costs and benefits associated with bioenergy systems - since such frameworks are needed to design future bioenergy systems and to assess existing bioenergy systems. With sustainability being a dynamic, indefinite and contested concept, stakeholder participation plays an important role in this work.
As a Gund Institute Affiliate, Thomas is working on expanding and improving the practicability of sustainability concepts by focusing on the science-policy interface, interweaving information from multiple scientific disciplines with stakeholder inputs. He draws on the tools of general systems theory and Multi-Criteria Analysis to inform transparent decisions that contribute to lasting and sustainable solutions in natural resource management. Thomas' US-based work focuses on bioenergy-related carbon accounting policies and economics, as well as economic analyses of forest management options that combine traditional timber revenues with novel revenue streams such as carbon and other ecosystem services. His international projects include bioenergy-based rural electrification initiatives in non-industrialized countries, particularly in East Africa. Other past projects have included analysis of short-rotation coppicing for bioenergy production and forest-based bioenergy potential in New England.

Yesterday, a heated discussion of technical analysis broke out on the Realmoney.com chat board with some participants declaring they don't "believe" in technical analysis. It's the same discussion that breaks out about once a month on Realmoney.com and it's often repeated on other fundamentally oriented sites like Fool.com.
But saying you don't "believe" in technical analysis in investing is like saying you don't "believe" in hammers in carpentry. It's a completely nonsensical statement that is borne out of hubris and complacency. Technical analysis is simply an investing tool and using it competently can only increase your investing success.
Just like learning to use any tool, the quality of the end result will depend on the skill and aptitude of the user (the first time I used a hammer, I broke my dad's finger as he was pointing out where not to hit.) Does using any tool preclude making mistakes? Of course not. Does it preclude two competent technicians from reaching completely different conclusions? Certainly not. Just like two fundamental analysts can come to different conclusions about the value of a stock based on the exact same financial data, two technicians can come to different conclusions about the direction of the market. Of course, no one ever questions whether "fundamental analysis" as a practice is valid or not…they just question the competency of the analyst.
Numerous practitioners of technical analysis make it seem needlessly complex and arcane (myself included). However, understanding simple concepts such as the Trader Vic 1-2-3 reversal and how to draw a trend channel is not complicated. Simple technical tools can save you hours of time searching for new investment ideas and thousands of investing dollars in timing entries and exits. Despite what academics and fundamental analysts will have you believe, prices move in trends and understanding those trends with technical analysis will help your investing results.
I use technical analysis in several ways. First, I use it to find stocks to buy. I screen for oversold stocks based on their weekly charts. I like buying oversold stocks because I want to buy high quality companies whose stocks have already gone down. Arne Aslin from Realmoney.com had a great quote that I have taped to my monitor -- "There are only two types of companies - ones that have problems and ones that are going to have problems." I'm looking for companies that have problems where the bad news is already known and discounted in the market. If a stock is nearing oversold levels, valuation is at the low end of its historical range and the company is already starting to make improvements, I have a good idea that the bad news has been discounted. Then all I need to find is a good catalyst such as new management or a new product that can re-ignite the stock.
The other technical screen I use is to find stocks coming out of long-term bases. I want stocks that have been going sideways for several quarters or even years through good and bad earnings. This ensures that the stock is in "strong hands" - investors that understand the story and won't flip the stock as soon as it moves up or down a $1. Once a stock is in "strong hands" it can start moving up rapidly once the positive fundamentals start appealing to the greater investing public. The best example of stocks coming out of long term bases happened in 1994. Numerous large cap stocks just launched higher out of two and three year sideways ranges as the chart of KO shows.
Second, I use technical analysis to time the purchase and sale of stocks. Once I find a stock to buy, I want to buy it down, ideally as it hits trendline support and/or potential reversal points such as a weekly DeMark Sequential (TM) buy signal. When selling, I want to sell as the stock is rising into resistance or hitting the top of a trend channel. Selling into strength and buying into weakness is the only way I know beating the market and generating incremental positive alpha.
Finally, I use technical analysis to provide an "early signal" of a problem stock. If a stock is supposed to be going up because it has beaten earnings and is in a strong group but is instead lingering or going down, there's usually something wrong with the fundamental story. Technical analysis is a great way to "double check" your investment thesis and make sure that somebody, somewhere doesn't know something you don't. This doesn't mean I sell a stock every time it squiggles under a trendline, but I do sit up and take notice and make sure the reasons I bought the stock are still valid.
I think these are simple technical concepts that can be added to any investors tool box. They don't require you to become a chart reading master and they don't require huge leaps of faith that moon cycles and ocean tides affect investor behavior. All the techniques require is an open mind and the "belief" that some tools are worth learning how to use.

Two unusual animal sightings this week on Ramrod Key spurred U.S. Fish and Wildlife refuge managers to place game cameras on the island.
There has been a report of a monitor lizard and another of a cat/dog-like animal, according Nancy Finley, Florida Keys refuge manager. A woman walking her dogs took a photo of the cat-dog-like creature and sent it to the refuge, but it was too far from the camera and was blurred.
The monitor lizard was spotted on a resident's fence. The lizard is generally found in Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, China, Southeast Asia to Indonesia, the Philippines, New Guinea, Australia and islands of the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea. The lizards could be very destructive to the Keys environment, Finley said.
Refuge managers hope to document the animals via the game cameras, Finley said.

Answers lost in the vortex of Howard's parallel universe
Page Tools
Questions remain about when the Government knew of abuses in Iraq. Comment by Louise Dodson.
John Howard obviously wants the issue of when the Federal Government knew about allegations of Iraqi prisoner abuse off the agenda - and fast.
But his response to reports in the Herald that the Government was told about the treatment of Iraqi prisoners as early as last October raises more questions than it answers.
Usually when he finds himself in this situation the Prime Minister exercises cool judgement and buys some breathing space by promising to look into the particular matters raised.
That is what he did initially at a press conference yesterday when he was asked when the Australian military knew about what was happening to Iraqi prisoners.
Then something happened to that cool judgement.
He began to look like a man operating in a parallel universe when he tried to divert attention from the issue later in the press conference and in Parliament.
He went on the attack in Parliament declaring "there is absolutely no suggestion whatsoever that Australian soldiers or other military personnel serving in or around Iraq have been involved in any way in the abuse of Iraqi prisoners which we have seen portrayed in the media".
"Defence has publicly stated that no Australian Defence Force member witnessed any mistreatment of detainees," he thundered.
Hello? No one said they were involved or that they witnessed it - just that they were told about it.
If he hoped this would draw attention away from the questions of whether the Government did know before it said it did, who exactly was told, and when - he was wrong.
It is totally legitimate to ask when the Government first knew of the abuse of Iraqi prisoners and who was informed in regular reports by the Australian Major George O'Kane, who worked at US military headquarters and knew of, but did not see, the now infamous photographs of the abuse of prisoners.
Asking what the Australian military knew, and when, is not undermining the role of the military or in any way implying that it was involved in the abuse scandal.
In fact quite the opposite. To leave questions hanging over what the military knew is damaging.
In the national interest, the Prime Minister has an obligation to get to the bottom of who knew what, and when.
Although Iraq is a difficult issue for the Government, with increasing numbers of people concerned about it, the Prime Minister should encourage openness and debate on the subject.
John Howard often talks of the importance of public trust.
He should bring the public into his confidence to ensure they can trust the Government to keep them properly informed about Iraq.
The people's trust is too precious to throw away.

Vulcania: Will This French Idea Crater?
The bottom level of the cone that marks the entrance to Vulcania, a new underground volcanic theme park located in Central France, is bathed in golden light, despite the sleet falling more than 80 feet overhead. The pair of overlapping, semicircular rings that evoke a volcanic mountain are coated with yellow titanium and designed to refract sunlight, a soothing spectacle that appeals to the park's creator, ex-President Valery Giscard D'Estaing.
Public sentiment about the project is far from mellow, however. Citizens of the Auvergne, one of France's poorest areas, are steaming that Vulcania has sucked up large sums of local money. The region was so thrilled to have a celebrity at the helm of its Regional Council that the 76-year-old politician was given free rein with his pet project. But is Giscard out of touch with the public?
The ex-President would like the park to be his legacy, much as François Mitterrand is remembered for the Louvre's glass pyramid. Except that the structure wasn't as risky a project as Vulcania. The latter has been in the works for 12 years, a period in which the budget ballooned from $39 million to $96 million.
Now comes the big test. The park, which opened to the public on Feb. 21, needs to bring in 500,000 visitors annually for the first four years, rising to 800,000 per year after that, to be profitable.
Trouble is, Volcania lacks the fun to be an amusement park for kids -- and it isn't sufficiently educational to be a museum. Attendance at competitor Futuroscope, which showcases innovation and technology, is evaporating as the public judges the theme outdated. Can Vulcania beat the odds and make the lava flow?
Giscard's critics think he has had his head in the crater too long to think clearly. Operating on the same "if you build it, they will come" theory that inspired Kevin Costner's character to create a baseball diamond in a cornfield in Field of Dreams, Giscard came up with the idea after taking a summer vacation in the area. He and his family were always impressed with the local terrain of the Puy-de-Dôme, the French volcanic range that has been dormant for 7,000 years.
"We asked ourselves: 'What can we do to make Auvergne known in the world?" says Giscard, who concluded: "We have to bring the story of the volcanoes up to date."
He persuaded governments with tight budgets to buy into the idea. Auvergne's regional council chipped in more than $28 million, while France and the European Union have forked over $13 million more.
However, the mix of contributors has prevented any one identity from prevailing. The guides call the park European, because they're targeting visitors from all across the Continent. Yet the highlight of the visit -- two spectacular films, one on an IMAX-size screen and the other in 3D -- are in French and lack subtitles. So any European visitor who doesn't speak the language will miss out on the best bits.
Auvergne is the heartland of France. Clermont-Ferrand, the biggest city in the region, with 136,000 residents, is best known as the home of tire maker Michelin. Tourism is lopsided: The summer months draw the biggest crowds, who come for outdoor activities. Giscard wants to change all that. "We'll increase the amount of tourism revenues by extending the season [year-round]," he promises.
But what if there's not enough fun to keep kids amused? The sensation of a volcanic explosion is present only in the Rumbling Hall, a lava corridor where the visit begins. The ground shakes with the heavy bass of the soundtrack, and molten rock splatters on video screens around the cave. Other rooms display geological models and volcanic rock -- nothing that couldn't be found at a good natural history museum.
Nearby, Futuroscope looms as a reminder that boosting tourism in Central France is no easy job. The park opened in 1987 near Poitiers, another less-than-well-traveled area of France, with similar ambition. But owner Groupe Amaury, which also manages the Tour de France bicycle race, has hesitated to build new attractions since it took control of the park in 2000. The result: Attendance has plummeted because most visitors don't come back a second time.
Vulcania wants to avoid that fate. The park won't have its official ribbon-cutting until June 22 because construction has yet to be completed, but Vulcania is already scrambling for visitors by going after school groups and tour operators from France and its neighbors.
Still, it faces a tough challenge from Mickey Mouse, whose Disneyland Paris leads the French pack with 12 million fans a year, a number that seems sure to rise when the adjoining Walt Disney Studios opens in March, 2002. Space Mountain may prove a stronger lure than Vulcania's titanium cone.

Identifying child sexual abuse within school contexts : policy problems and solutions, and a landmark case
Mathews, Benjamin P. & (2010) Identifying child sexual abuse within school contexts : policy problems and solutions, and a landmark case. In International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Conference, 26-29 September 2010, Honolulu. (Unpublished)
As a strategy to identify child sexual abuse, most Australian States and Territories have enacted legislation requiring teachers to report suspected cases. Some Australian State and non-State educational authorities have also created policy-based obligations to report suspected child sexual abuse. Significantly, these can be wider than non-existent or limited legislative duties, and therefore are a crucial element of the effort to identify sexual abuse. Yet, no research has explored the existence and nature of these policy-based duties. The first purpose of this paper is to report the results of a three-State study into policy-based reporting duties in State and non-State schools in Australia. In an extraordinary coincidence, while conducting the study, a case of failure to comply with reporting policy occurred with tragic consequences. This led to a rare example in Australia (and one of only a few worldwide) of a professional being prosecuted for failure to comply with a legislative duty. It also led to disciplinary proceedings against school staff. The second purpose of this paper is to describe this case and connect it with findings from our policy analysis.

What happens behind the scenes when Fashion Director Jeffrey Kalinsky and crew are photographing the best of the season's runway for our Designer Collections lookbook? Well, a little and a lot. There are times when half an hour goes by in a sort of hurry-up-and-wait fugue, and periods of such scurry and excitement that you look up to find two hours have passed in what felt like five minutes. It's the nature of the game.
A blur of a man: Jeffrey Kalinsky in his studio and office.
As a companion piece to the rich, gorgeous images and exclusive interviews in our fresh-off-the-presses, in-mail-boxes now book, we decided to single out a few of the more placid moments as well as let you inside the cheerful assortment of fashion flotsam and jetsam in Kalinsky's Chelsea office. (Call it our 9-to-5 complement to his home's recent cameo on The Coveteur.)
We also brought some of our favorite favorites into close range, so you get a sort of stylist's view of the season's best.

1892-1894 a
The Vics were formed in 1874 and took their unusual name to honour Queen Victoria. For 125 years the club played at the Drill Field.
They became founder members of the Combination in 1890 and when the Football League was extended to form a Second Division in 1892, Victoria were invited to join.
The club finished seventh in their first season and the following year they finished bottom of the League. Rather than seek re-election, they resigned and returned to the Combination.
The club continues to thrive and is currently playing in the Conference: since 1898 they have worn green and white.

Osteoporosis Q & A
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis
I have had RA for about 6 years on mtx 15, pred 3 mg, plaq 400 mg and various other nsaids, along with vitamins including 1200 mg of calcium a day. Last December 2002 I had a dexa scan which showed a T-score of -0.61 (94% of young normal values) and Z-score of +0.14 (102% of age match normal values in the lumbar spine and pelvis. I have been having very severe lower back pain and pain in my hips for the past three months…thought maybe it was a new mattress problem, as my right hip would be totally numb and very painful when I would wake up. I moved to the sofa. I went and saw my internist who order Lumbar spine x-rays and pelvis x-rays. I have severe osteoarthritis at L5 with facet hypertrophy throughout the lower spine. Pelvis ok. But, the worse part is my spine has moderate osteoporosis. L3 thorugh 5 have no trabecula left and are very transparent. My question is how can someone with such a great Dexa just 13 months ago, go to plain films like this? I am 51 and have been trying to get through menopause this past year, with very irregular periods. I take no hormones. There is no family history of osteoporosis. My estrogen level in October was normal. Thank you for your time.

The State Role in an Electoral College Tie

The 2000 presidential election hinged on state and local election administration (in Florida). The outcome of the 2008 presidential election may be determined by state election law.
More and more states are allowing early voting, mail-in voting and no-excuse absentee voting -- forcing the campaigns to adjust their turnout tactics. Nebraska and Maine award their electoral votes by congressional district, which could give McCain or Obama an electoral vote they wouldn't otherwise get. And, perhaps most intriguingly (though probably least importantly), state election law could play a key role if the Electoral College ends in a tie.
Greg Giroux of CQ had a great article this week on what happens in the event of a tie. The first thing is that the electors, those 538 obscure people who make up the Electoral College, have to vote.
That takes place Dec. 15. But Giroux notes that we don't actually find out the results of that vote until Jan. 6, when Congress counts the votes.
Those dates are relevant because of the possibility of faithless electors. A tie might not really be a tie. If one elector decided to vote for the opposing party's canidate, instead of the one to whom he or she was pledged, a 269-269 election would turn into a 270-268 election.
In others words, if the Electoral College is tied on election night, we'll be stuck waiting around for six weeks for the votes to be cast. Then, we'll wait another three weeks to find out what happened. Then, assuming it is a tie, the House of Representatives votes on who should be president. Maybe this made sense 200 years ago?
So, obviously, the possibility of faithless electors will become a huge issue if the Electoral College is tied. Here's where state election law comes in. As Giroux points out, about half of the states require electors to be faithful.
With a tie, these laws would instantly enter the spotlight. I wonder if, under this scenario, some legislatures would rush into special session to pass faithful-elector laws.
Before you spend too much time fretting about mischievous electors, it's worth noting that Congress has some power to decide whether to accept electoral votes. Here's what Giroux says:
If it's revealed that one or more faithless electors has switched sides, the losing party would challenge those electoral votes as not "regularly given."
The more reassuring point, however, is that electors are party activists who are picked for their loyalty. They're supposed to be more faithful than the Pope.
We invite you to discuss and comment on this article using social media.

only good thing about this game so far is that the roy williams haters havn't started griping
5 tackles by RW already.
Good read by Ware.
we might see Feely attempt a FG, lol
uhhh wasnt that uncatchable?
Okay wait. That ball was thrown 25 yards past the WR and they still get a penalty.
Yeah, but he'll make it against us.
horrible call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on D hold them to a FG
If I'm the Giants I play 3-wide all-day and go after Reeves without mercy. He does not belong in the NFL as a CB.
first it was the Giants hurting themselves, now its the Cowboys hurting themselves
OK...both teams are giving each other 1st downs....neither team wants this game.
i hate refs
they might be the dumbest people
and dictate games way too much..
they always favor a team
No contact at all....who was it that is paying the refs?
I question the first contact call because fujita hits barber after a 2 yd route
dont forget the refs making horrible calls, therewas no contact whatsoever
Let's hold them to three here.
We need a play on D right NOW!!!
No pass rush. Tiki running wild.
another Jacobs fumble anyone???

The newspapers are brimming with stories of young men behaving badly but Arsène Wenger insists the latest generation of footballers are no worse than their predecessors.
England captain Rio Ferdinand claimed on Friday that young players are "exposed to so much more of the thrills and spills around football" and are too distracted by "girls and nightclubs".
Recent allegations over Wayne Rooney's private life would suggest that Ferdinand has a point but Wenger tried to put the matter in perspective at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
According to the Arsenal manager, 'twas ever thus: he believes the youth of today is no worse than the youth of yesteryear. What matters is that they learn fast and change their ways.
"I believe we have all been 20 years old," said Wenger. "None of us were angels at 20.
"We have all made mistakes but I believe as well that what makes careers like Rio Ferdinand's is that at some stage they know when to stop and when to focus on their job and that is most important.
"I believe the youth today is not worse than they were ten years ago. Overall every generation criticises the generation that replaces them but since the Romans if you read the books it has always been the case.
"People that make careers are people that have the dedication and motivation and in every generation you have that."

Hi Jay,
>Has anyone ever bought a nuc and transferred it into a TBH? I am sure you would have to build your TBh with specific dimensions to accomodate the nuc frames. Anyone have any comments or plans for such a thing?
My latest design has enough space beneath the top bar for deep frames. See: http://bwrangler.litarium.com/kenyan-top-bar-hive/
Barry Birkey has a tbh that will accomodate deep frames as well. When he transfered a split into his tbh, he just screwed the deep frame to the bottom of the top bar. See: http://www.beesource.com/eob/althive/birkey/index.htm
Last edited by BWrangler; 04-07-2017 at 10:42 AM. Reason: updated link
These are very well thought out and drawn out plans. I am going to be in my garage this weekend working away on a TBH based on your deeper design. I like the way regular frames fit due to the less sloped sides. And it looks so easy to build- I think I can do it! Thanks for the inspiration. This beesource is such a great way to exchange ideas.

48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
I've only seen a few feral colonies where I live, but they are very viable and very strong.
I wanted to thank bwrangler for his work, everyone should read his website, he has a plethora of information.
I've discovered ferals, in a tree, building 5.1mm - 5.4mm cells. Cell building is based on bee genetics. When we put small cell foundation into a hive we are artificially forcing the bees to adopt a size.
What are we, men or Beekeepers?
-When we put small cell foundation into a hive we are artificially forcing the bees to adopt a size.
small cell-4.9mm-isnt an unnatural size for bees. what is unnatural is "forcing" the bees to
draw one size of cell exclusive of others.
all that is gold does not glitter
I agree that ANY foundation is forcing the bees to adopt a particular size. 4.9mm is more natural than 5.4mm but it's still not natural. Naturally they will draw a wide variety of sizes. Some of those will be 4.9mm. In my observation, not much if any will be 5.4mm.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
But if we were to refer to the scientific reason, it WOULD be genetic. No one would say that the apis cerana(41mm-44mm) should be placed on 49mm, they build according to their genetic predisposition, or the apis florea, apis dorsata, apis laboriosa, apis mellifera, et cetera. The apis mellifera scutellata builds 47mm-49mm, apis mellifera(European) 52mm-56mm. And we could argue there are no pure races in North America. However, thanks to cell measurements taken in native habitats by researchers from Brother Adam until present day, we've got a good idea of the size cell built by each race.
See the following article.
What are we, men or Beekeepers?
-apis mellifera(European) 52mm-56mm
by nature (genetics) this is considered by some beeks "unnatural". instead this size would be by nurture (human manipulation). the idea is that the bees have to "regress" back to their natural size. this takes multiple cycles of brood building multiple cycles of smaller and smaller comb until a natural range is obtained.
all that is gold does not glitter
>apis mellifera(European) 52mm-56mm
There have been plenty of measurments taken over the centuries. If you look in the POV section for Dee Lusby's writings she has references to many articles and discussions on the size of bees and comb and the concept of enlarging it. We have plenty of easy to find evidence that bees used to be smaller.
Find ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture books and look under ÂCell SizeÂ.
HereÂs some quotes from them:
ABC & AXY of Bee Culture 38th Edition Copyright 1980 page 134
ÂIf the average beekeeper were asked how many cells, worker and drone comb, there were to the inch, he would undoubtedly answer five and four, respectively. Indeed some text books on bees carry that ratio. Approximately it is correct, enough for the bees, particularly the queen. The dimensions must be exact or there is a protest. In 1876 when A.I. Root, the original author of this book, built his first roll comb foundation mill, he had the die faces cut for five worker cells to the inch. While the bees built beautiful combs from this foundation, and the queen laid in the cells, yet, if given a chance they appeared to prefer their own natural comb not built from comb foundation. Suspecting the reason, Mr. Root then began measuring up many pieces of natural comb when he discovered that the initial cells, five to the inch, from his first machine were slightly too small. The result of his measurements of natural comb showed slightly over 19 worker cells to four inches linear measurement, or 4.83 cells to one inch.Â
Roughly this same information is in the 1974 version of ABC and XYZ of Bee Culture on page 136; the 1945 version on page 125; the 1877 version, on page 147 says: ÂThe best specimens of true worker-comb, generally contain 5 cells within the space of an inch, and therefore this measure has been adopted for the comb foundation.
This is followed in all but the 1877 version, by the way, with a section on Âwill larger cells develop a larger bee and info on Baudoux.Âs research.
So letÂs do the math:
Five cells to an inch, the standard size for foundation in the 1800s and the commonly accepted measurement from that era, is five cells to 25.4mm which is ten cells to 50.8mm. This is 4mm smaller than standard foundation is now.
A.I. Root's measurement of 4.83 cells to an inch is 5.25mm which is 1.5mm smaller than standard foundation. Of course if you measure comb much youÂll find a lot of variance in cell size, which makes it very difficult to say exactly what size natural comb is. But I have measured (and photographed) 4.7mm comb from commercial Carniolans and I have photographs of comb from bees Pennsylvania that are 4.4mm. Typically there is a lot of variance with the core of the brood nest the smallest and the edges the largest. You can find a lot of comb from 4.8mm to 5.2mm with most of the 4.8mm in the center and the 4.9mm, 5.0mm and 5.1mm moving out from there and the 5.2mm at the very edges of the brood nest. There is also variation by how you space the frames, or variation on how THEY space the combs. 1 ½ (38mm) will result in larger cells than 1 3/8 (35mm) which will be larger than 1 ¼ (32mm). In naturally spaced comb the bees will sometimes crowd the combs down to 30mm in places with 32mm more common in just brood comb and 35mm more common where there is drone on the comb. So what is natural comb spacing? It is the same problem as saying what natural cell size is. It depends.
But in my observation, if you let them do what they want, for a couple of comb turnovers, you can find out what the range of these is and what the norm is. The norm was (and is) NOT the standard foundation size of 5.4mm cells and it is NOT the standard comb spacing of 35mm comb.
BTW Baudoux was doing experiments with sizes of foundation from 4.7mm up to 5.555mm. Even he, and he was obsessed with trying to make the bees larger, hadn't got up to 5.6mm yet at the time of those charts. So European Honey Bees were apparently building 4.7mm foundation into 4.7mm cells for him in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

>>They all tolerated mites when on small cell comb. But not all of them had the other qualitites I desire in my bees.
What qualities do you find desirable?
Do you think a standard set of qualities are needed for beekeepers or if each area should try to develop a bee that works best in their area?
Any hints on what to look for in selecting ideal bees for your local environment?
Hi Oldgreyone,
Everyone wants productive, gentle, disease resistant bees that overwinter great. And some even want them to be a specific color :>
But I'm going to toss out something a little different. First, when selecting bees, a beekeeper must get to know the colonies specifically. And that can take some time. A season at least, and maybe more is required. With lots of hives, think thousands, mark them and watch them. If you have just a few, you will know each one as well as a man with several dogs knows his pets.
Through time, several colonies will begin to stand out. I find it easier and more realistic to keep some simple records and not get too involved with the 'numbers'. When focused on the numbers, it's just too easy to become myopic. Some other very unquantifiable but important characteristics can easily be lost when chasing the numbers. After all, it's going to be a relative and somewhat subjective comparison between your hives. After a time, you will know the best colonies that suit your needs. Breed from those. When you've repeated this process a few times, the knowing becomes very intuitive.
So, how would your bees stack up against all those other productive, gentle, disease resistant bees that overwinter great as advertised in the b mags? There's only one way to know and that's the same way as before. You've got to get to know them for yourself.
One fact that's easily forgotten is that all honeybees are more alike than different. It you ordered a hundred queens reared off the same breeder and mated in the same yard, and looked at a single characteristic, about 10% of them would be on one end of the spectrum. Another 10% would be at the opposite end of the spectrum. And the other 80% would be just about an average of the two. The bell shaped curve is very flat rather than narrowly peaked. And this is another good reason why it takes quite a few queens to properly assess a breeders stock.
Testing done by Farrar and others indicated that colony performance was more dependant on 'how'
replacement queens were raised, rather than on what kind of stock they were raised from. I suspect this is true of many other qualities as well.

I just installed some Russians...one package in a Standard Lang, the other in a TBH...for comparison/fun.
I had earlier installed two full sheets of wired, small cell (4.9) foundation trimed to the sides, and four 1/2 sheets, also trimed to the sides.
(The TBH was actually easier, I think.
However, it had not occured to me until I started to install them that one cannot install between the bars as in a LANG...duhhhh...it leaves the top open...
I made an extra top bar, sawed out a square slot just large enough to drop the queen cage into...
So, quick-fix, I dropped the queen cage in the slot after removing the plug, dumped the bees in the empty space one frame away from her, then shut it up. I reduced the entrance significantly at first, at least until a day or two after the queen is released.)
Second day, checked both for the queen's release, neither were released yet...many bees clustered around her, hanging in chains from her...no problem with them finding her.
Much comb already present, REGULAR, ON THE FOUNDATION, NORMAL PACKAGE BEES, APPARENTLY UNREGRESSED, APPEAR TO BE BUILDING PERFECT COMB ON THE SMALL CELL WITH NO PROBLEM...YET. If they keep this up, I will start having smaller bees in a month? Could it really be that easy? Did I miss something? Experienced TBH people: What do I need to watch out for?
Incidently, they seemed very much at home, and surprisingly calm. I poked a hole in the candy with a stick, too big of a hole and the queen bailed out immediately, into the TBH, thankfully.
Replaced the TB with the hole for the queen cage with a regular TB, no foundation. I think I will add foundation to all, it just works sooooo well.
Last night, marked queen was not found...very disappointing. Looked at all frames once again and found her, but without the white marking...maybe just a flake...did the workers remove the marking?
Do watch for attachments to the wall though, I suspect I got one too close to a side and I broke the edge before I realized it, being fresh new comb...I'm going to drop an old hacksaw blade in the empty side of the hive to have handy for a comb-release tool.
Oh well, so far so good with my first TBH...
'Sorry for the long post, but someone out there may find it helpful or interesting.
I don't have enough practical experience to answer your questions, but I do know that anything placed in the hive gets propolised quickly. How quickly depends on the strength of the hive. Your old hacksaw blade will not be "handy" in two weeks, in a full-sized hive.
James Burns
Science is...the acquisition of reliable knowledge about the world (Jared Diamond).
The empty blocked off rear section is where I'll keep the hacksaw blade...I HOPE that soon there is no place to keep it...means the hive is full!
James and RBar,
You can place your tools above the topbars under the cover.
Your hives should have plenty of room in the Attic to hide just about anything except maybe a smoker.

On 7 July 1994 the Irish soccer team returned home to Ireland from the USA. The team exited the competition following a 2-0 defeat against the Netherlands.
The team, along with manager Jack Charlton, were greeted by An Taoiseach Albert Reynolds, Tánaiste Dick Spring and Michael Woods. Over 1,000 people also showed up at the airport to pay tribute the boys in green.
Albert Reynolds describes Jack and the team as "the best ambassadors" for the Ireland. At the press conference Jack Charlton is quizzed about his future plans as manager of the Irish team. Later that day the team attended the official celebration party at the Phoenix Park.

Koh Tao 2: Tattoos and White-Knuckle Trips
Trip Start Mar 01, 2005
16Trip End May 20, 2005
The islands in the Gulf of Thailand (Samui, Phangang and Tao) are notorious for leaving tourists with mementos tattooed on their bodies. Sometimes they're of the ink variety, but more often than not they're singed into the skin with heat or scraped into the body with gravel as the result of scooter or motorcycle accidents. They are commonly, and lovingly, referred to as "Island Tattoos" and I have one because it wouldn't be a trip without it, right? In truth, Erin and I are sorta the lucky ones, as she came out unscathed in the wipe outs and we managed to towel down the bike and have it pass the renter's inspection without having to pay any ridiculous fees for scratching it up a little
It's necessary to describe the driving conditions on the islands and in Thailand in general before anyone makes any rash judgements that I'm a bad driver -- which couldn't be further from the truth. Thailand has an extremely high traffic accident/death ratio that ranks it among the tops in the world, or number one. I can't remember exactly right now, but trust me on this. Leading the way within the country is Koh Samui, one of the islands in the gulf that we skipped, but which managed to bang up a couple of our friends in vehicle accidents. Koh Tao and Koh Phangang can't be far behind. The traffic rules are generally stay to the left (which is the opposite for us), honk whenever possible (unnerving and annoying), and try to avoid being hit or going into a ditch or off a cliff (sometimes the only three options available to you). It's really quite basic and they're open to interpretation at any point in time by whoever's behind the wheel of the bigger vehicle. There are no centre lines, so passing and cutting corners are frequent practices. Traffic signs are few and far between and lights are non-existent, so you kinda have to guess what's right and go as fast as you dare -- or as fast as a rumbling taxi pick-up on your butt is making you go. Despite all this, drivers are extremely aggressive and fast since taxis are usually trying to show you they can get you there fast or return for another fare, and the locals know the roads inside out
The rockiness of the islands combined with little to no apparent blasting makes for steep, treacherous roads in many spots. These "roads" fade in and out from one lane to two lanes for whatever reason and never have sidewalks, though Koh Tao actually has the nicer roadways of the islands we saw and has an inner concrete pathway along the two major beaches that provide some chances to travel by foot. Even on this nice little boardwalk though (which is lined by great shops, stores, restaurants and views), all manner of scooters, motorcycles, pick-ups and mobile pancake vendors try to zoom along it, forcing pedestrians onto the grass and creating close calls and an air of unsettling discomfort as you look for the next motorized weapon to come screaming by. The worst stretch of road is, by far, from the pier in Thongsala to the main beach of Hat Rin on Koh Phangnag, which is oddly the most important stretch of road. To avoid the noise of Hat Rin (legendary for the full moon parties they host which were just days away), we decided to stay closer to the pier on a secluded beach. Very nice, but nothing to do. We took the taxi to Hat Rin and back every day, screaming up inclines, taking sharp corners and white-knuckling the roll bars in the back of the taxi. We would hug cliffs and almost scrape hillsides as we did this drive about 10-12 times
(That description is for those who may complain about the safety of the Malahat, Coquihalla, the 401 or HWY 17. Those roads are like driving on pillows and marshmallows compared to here.)
That brings us back to our little scooter escapade. On the last morning we had our scooter (which cost roughly $6 a day), we decided to throw caution to the wind and explore the eastern side of Koh Tao, which is connected by rarely used and poorly maintained roads. The trip to Aow Leuk, a gorgeous bay with rougher waters and great character, went smoothly enough. The last descent to the bay was down a 45 degree slope of rocks and loose gravel, so we parked the bike near the top and walked the 20 minutes or so to the beach. Only when we tried to leave did the problems begin. I turned the bike around before letting Erin on, but the wheels still spun in the gravel and the bike almost lunged into the ditch. Regrouping, we got back to concrete before heading more cautiously on our way. However, the road splits into a maze of jagged rocks at one point and despite trying to navigate it slowly, one sucked us in and spit us out towards yet another ditch. Again, no problems. But this scooter rookie tried to pull the bike back to the road by tugging on its "handlebars" (ahem... throttle), the bike lunged forward and the exhaust pipe kissed my shin
The doctors' offices, nurses' stations and mechanics likely make a killing off of tourists like us, but they weren't able to score any of our baht this time around. That's a good thing, because the way Erin spends the Thai money (note her slogan of "I couldn't go broke in Thailand if I tried!") we can't afford any unexpected expenses.... hahaha.
Cheers from Thailand,
Scott and Erin

President Bush's proposed budget for next year leaves California's capital region vulnerable to catastrophic flooding of Hurricane-Katrina proportions, Sen. Barbara Boxer said Tuesday.
Speaking at a hearing of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Boxer, the committee's chairwoman, said she believes the proposed fiscal year 2009 budget "falls short" when it comes to "protecting lives, enhancing the environment and growing the economy."
Boxer, a Democratic senator for California since 1993, said she was "pleased" that that the new budget includes funding for flood-control in the Sacramento area, which is "four times as likely to see catastrophic flooding as New Orleans was in 2005."
The budget would allot nearly $100 million to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for California-based projects, including $9 million for flood-prevention modifications to Folsom Dam and nearly $24 million for the Sacramento River Bank Protection Project, which works to repair water-side erosion on levee banks.
However, Boxer noted, nationwide, the proposed budget slashes funding for Congress-approved flood control projects by more than one-third from the current budget.
"How can one possibly propose such a cut for our nation's flood control infrastructure?" she asked during her opening remarks at Tuesday's hearing in Washington, DC. "Unfortunately, the President has shown that he fails to learn the lesson of Hurricane Katrina: We must shore up our nation's water and flood control infrastructure before catastrophe strikes - not afterwards."
The purpose of the hearing was to discuss not only the FY 2009 budget, but also the implementation of the Water Resources Development Act of 2007. The measure, championed by Boxer, passed through Congress in November despite being vetoed by Bush. Among other California-focused provisions, the WRDA authorizes $600 million to be used by the Army Corps of Engineers for boosting flood protection on the American and Sacramento rivers.

text: I called Brushy Mountain Bee Farm and talked to the main man there. He told me that in some places the beetles in your hive are no different from a bird landing on your hive. That some places the beetles do not take over and destroy your hive. I beleive him because the bees I have, I vaccummed out of a tree and there were beetles present in the tree. I must have sucked some up when i vacuumed, but the bees lived in that tree with them beetles for over 5 years and made it through. I have ordered the trap that goes on the bottom of the hive that oil is used with. I am trying to avoid the highly toxic checkmite strips that are used inside the beetle swatters that brushy mtn also offers. I hope for the best because down here in the swamp there are plenty of beetles to deal with. I have to find a way to conquer or at least control them some.

2000 GC 4.7 2wd
After about 10 minutes going 65-70 mph on the freeway, my temp gauge rises to the line after 210 degrees. It stays there for about 5 minutes then drops back down to 210.
What could be causing this?
Re: Temperature
My 4.7 runs 210 all day idk if its suppose to..shortly afterthat now I'm looking into why cylinder #8 is taking on coolant.I found my radiator LEAKING Thermostat really flimsy.air in cooling system
Re: Temperature
Its most probably the thermostat which is sticking somewhat. You could try a new one and see if that changes anything.

The capsules are easy to swallow but have a strong and rather unpleasant scent. Of course maca has a distinct scent but I feel it's less overpowering in powder form than in these capsules, for example. If you can get over the strong scent, the product itself is pretty good and seems to have a positive effect on my mood. Personally, I will try a different brand next time as my nose seems to be too sensitive for this product.

BP's Whiting refinery overhaul hits delays, lawsuit
(Reuters) - A $4 billion project to upgrade BP Plc's BP.L 337,000 barrel per day (bpd) Whiting, Indiana, refinery hit unexpected snags this month, including a more than one-month delay in restarting its biggest crude oil unit and a lawsuit against contractors.
BP has pushed back the start-up date of its revamped 260,000 bpd sour crude unit by 30 to 45 days until mid-April, industry intelligence group IIR Energy reported.
Specialty newswire Energy News Today also reported the delay, saying the unit would now be restarted in May instead of March.
Both reports also said that the postponed restart of the unit, which was shut in early November for an overhaul initially expected to take just three or four months, would also push back the commissioning of a new 120,000 bpd coker unit that is key to BP's plan to process more cheap, Canadian sour crude.
The delays will depress demand for Canadian crude in the mid-continent area, prolonging a supply glut and weighing heavily on benchmark U.S. crude as production from North Dakota and Canada expands more quickly than the new pipelines that are set to deliver it to Gulf Coast refiners.
Canada's benchmark heavy crude oil differentials tumbled this week to their lowest in five years, putting local prices at under $50 a barrel -- a point that could begin to force oil companies to consider paring investment or cutting back output.
"This is bearish for WTI," says Amrita Sen, chief oil analyst at Energy Aspects in London.
"It looks like the glut around Cushing is now going to last at least another quarter, which is no help at all for Canadian or inland producers in the United States, some of whom are already suffering from cash flow issues."
BP declined to comment on the timeline for individual units, but said the overall project at the Whiting refinery remained on track. Continued...

It's probably not surprising that a columnist who's boldly liberal enough to declare "I don't support the troops" and mock Christianity as a "death cult" would talk family members into supporting Barack Obama for president. In this week's Time magazine, columnist and "humorist" Joel Stein writes about how he worked to convert his liberal Hillary-favoring grandmother in Fort Lauderdale into an Obama voter and puzzled over how Obama can win over Florida Jews. He was "elated" he won his grandma over for Obama:
As I sensed Mama Ann was changing her mind for no good reason, I started to wonder what my good reasons for supporting Obama were. Did I really think that he'd get us out of Iraq all that much faster, that he could actually deliver health care to everyone or that he'd erase the anger between the parties and races? This is a guy, after all, who is no better than I am at stopping his grandmother from saying racist things. Sure, I like that Obama makes people feel optimistic and willing to give, but if I really liked that, I'd have a better attitude toward Scientologists. The truth is, I like Obama because he's young and eats arugula and knows who Ludacris is. Because he's the closest thing to the person I'd really like to vote for: me.
Feeling pretty good about that self-realization, I asked Mama Ann if I had persuaded her to vote for Obama. "Yeah," she said. I was elated, until she added, "I'm fine. I have to go for blood work again. They keep me waiting for an hour. I'm all sunburned like a berry. I get in the water, and I forget to get out. I get in conversations."
I rephrased my question, this time much more loudly. "Yeah," she said. I cautiously asked why. "You gave me his good qualities. You ought to run for something as a politician." That's when I realized Obama's Florida strategy should be based on the fact that a Jewish grandchild is never wrong. He needs to set up phone banks where kids call their grandparents, say they're for Obama and just talk nonsense, as I did. Even if it doesn't work, would it have killed them to pick up the phone?
Joel Stein was also the columnist who mocked Christians by proclaiming "Jesus was just a cool guy everyone liked because he died young. And even 16-year-old girls eventually take down their James Dean posters." Stein doesn't think you're ever too old to put up an Obama poster.

Firable offense: Romney commits one
This general election will pit Populist Obama - Mr. 99 Percent, self-proclaimed - against a Republican nominee. Will the people of New Hampshire vote to give Obama the nominee he can most easily caricature as an out-of-touch 1 percenter indifferent to the concerns of the middle class?
Both Romney and Gingrich have weaknesses, but Gingrich has strengths that are more formidable than Romney's. He is the candidate most able to articulate clear distinctions between himself and President Obama - distinctions unfavorable to Obama. He is far more aggressive on the attack and more appealing to blue-collar voters. And unlike Rick Santorum, Gingrich can explain his positions on social issues in ways that don't make his positions liabilities.
We know today's vote is a tough decision. But voters looking for an electable conservative should know that they don't have to settle for Romney, who is not conservative and who looks less electable every day.
Newt Gingrich is not perfect, but he is more conservative and more electable than the multimillionaire who thinks it's a great idea with 8.6 percent unemployment to speak in a way that makes him appear to be waxing nostalgic about firing people.
