Patricia Highsmith: Antisemitic Stranger on a Train
Texas-born Patricia Highsmith has long attracted readers with her cunning grasp of criminal psychology in such suspenseful novels as "Strangers on a Train" (1950) and a series starring the villainous Tom Ripley, now perhaps best known for the Anthony Minghella film "The Talented Mr Ripley" with Matt Damon as the title Tom. But the full extent of Highsmith's own iniquity is now revealed in "The Talented Miss Highsmith: The Secret Life and Serious Art of Patricia Highsmith," a new biography by Joan Schenkar out December 8 from St. Martin's Press.
"The Talented Miss Highsmith" focuses on unpublished material which reveals the novelist in later years to have been a raving "Jew-hater," as Schenkar puts it, who talked for years about leaving her considerable fortune to the Intifada and concocted a 1988 radio script for broadcast in Germany about Yitzhak Shamir that Schenkar describes as an:
irrational work, poisoned by ethnic prejudices. It reads like a lost chapter from that toxic anthology of antisemitic canards, 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.'
Highsmith wildly claimed that the novelist Amos Oz would "soon be murdered by Shamir's government." German media personalities rejected her text as something "so ghastly that it could be a Nazi text." Previous books on Highsmith, like the highly readable "Beautiful Shadow: A Life of Patricia Highsmith" by Andrew Wilson from Bloomsbury USA (2004) do not hide the writer's eccentricity, including her habit of traveling around Europe by train while concealing a half-dozen pet snails in her bra to deceive customs inspectors. Only Schenkar though, fully delves into Highsmith's mania on the subjects of Jews and Israel. When American publisher Otto Penzler printed her 1983 novel "People Who Knock on the Door" he deleted the book's dedication "To the Intifada" with the permission of her main Swiss publisher, Diogenes, angering Highsmith, who accused him of being a Jew, despite his Protestant roots.
Schenkar's well-researched work cites many such incidents, adding up to a devastating portrait of an ugly, twisted soul from which emerged all those fascinating, entertaining and thankfully fictional murders.
Watch a 1982 British TV interview with Melvyn Bragg of The South Bank Show, in which Patricia Highsmith dismisses any notion of the "sanctity of human life" as a mere "mental attitude."

More than 130 immigrants not only became U.S. citizens last week, many also promptly became participants in democracy.
In a third naturalization ceremony hosted last Friday by Aurora University, 135 immigrants from 29 countries became sworn in citizens in a ceremony at Crimi Auditorium that came complete with flags, songs and speeches.
And right at the event was the chance to register to vote, thanks to a convenient table with a voter registrar. Twenty new citizens signed up on the spot.
But the big event was the official swearing in ceremony, overseen by Yolanda Vera supervisory immigration services officer, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
St. Charles resident Samson "Sam" Landrea, a Phillippines native, celebrated by unfurling a large American flag for photos with friends and relatives. Landrea, 53, was born on July 4. He is a maintenance worker at Ambria College in Hoffman Estates.

The swearing in ceremony was officially designated as a federal court session and was opened by Carol Wing, courtroom deputy, U.S. District Court for northern Illinois district.
A roll call of nationalities represented by prospective citizens was read by Phillip Marcucci, immigration services officer, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Reena Parikh, associate counsel, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, presented the motion to naturalize immigrants.
The Hon. William T. Hart, U.S. District Court for northern Illinois district, approved the motion to naturalize immigrants and led the oath of allegiance. And Catherine Norquist, immigration services legal director, World Relief, led the pledge of allegiance.
Keynote speaker was Hon. Manuel Barbosa of Elgin, retired judge, U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

When the Police Can Search Your Home Without a Warrant
The nail-biting manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspect on Apr. 19 led police from door to door in Watertown, Mass., looking for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. How were police able to search people's homes without warrants?
No Warrant, but Still Need a Reason
The Fourth Amendment, of course, requires police to have warrants supported by "probable cause" to conduct searches. But exceptions allow police to make emergency searches without warrants – and sometimes even without probable cause.
The "exigent circumstances" doctrine allows police, on the spot, to search a place where they'd otherwise need a warrant, explains David Rossman, a professor of criminal law at Boston University School of Law.
A recent example is represented by Kentucky v. King, he says, the 2011 U.S. Supreme Court case in which police, chasing a suspect, knocked on a door and heard noises that led them to believe evidence was about to be destroyed. The Court overturned the Kentucky Supreme Court, holding that the exigent circumstances exception applies even when police conduct "causes" the circumstances – basically by chasing the suspects.
"If they have probable cause, they can search without a warrant when taking the time to get one either would result in the destruction of evidence or present a danger to someone," Rossman observes.
Public Safety, No Probable Cause
While some sources have conflated the two ideas, saying the exigent circumstances doctrine allowed Boston and federal police to search homes in the Tsarnaev manhunt because of public safety concerns, Rossman says public safety is a separate exception to the Fourth Amendment.
"That was really the public safety exception, not so much the exigent circumstances exception," says Rossman. "In the latter, they need probable cause. For the former, they don't; they just have to have a reasonable belief that there is a potential danger to the occupants inside a dwelling."
Certainly there was potential danger to the neighborhoods Tsarnaev was ranging through; he was thought to be armed and very dangerous, seeing as how he and his brother had allegedly just blown up the Boston Marathon and then shot and killed a campus police officer at MIT.
As for the probable cause necessary to search each home under exigent circumstances, that would have been more difficult to establish: Was there any reasonable evidence that Tsarnaev was inside any one particular home? Likely not, until the bloody tarp and boat were discovered.
'I'm on, no, in a Boat!'
What if Tsarnaev had holed up in a home – or even the boat – and refused to come out for a longer period of time. Would the police have needed a warrant then?
"If he was an active shooter, or presented an imminent danger, then no," Rossman says. "If he was just inside a dwelling and didn't know the police were there to arrest him, then yes."
While it was probably the furthest thing from their minds, the police could have legally busted others who let them into their homes in their sweep through Watertown – for totally unrelated crimes.
Rossman says the police would have been within their rights to arrest someone for, say, guns or drugs they found in the sweep, without a warrant. But the evidence would likely have had to have been in "plain view" – yet another Fourth Amendment rule.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hidnprncss from Love this Mattress! This is the 3rd Memory foam technology mattress that I've purchased and quite possibly my favorite. It's always scary purchasing a mattress online without being able to actually touch it and lay on it first. Part of my worry was subsided though when I remembered that Kohls has no hassle returns. My first Memory foam mattress I purchased was a combination of Memory Foam and Coil base. I'd always loved that mattress and found it very comfortable but when I upgraded to a King Size bed it was time to look for something else. The second memory foam mattress I purchased I ordered online for a bargain for a guest room. Although it was a good mattress for a guest room it would get hot and had a really strong odor when it arrived. This Coolmax really tops them both. Some of the reasons I love the Coolmax is because it's firm, comfortable, and supportive at the same time. It's also considerably less hot than any other mattress I've ever owned. Considering that we live in Florida and have to deal with hot humid weather this is a real plus. I don't find myself waking up hot all the time like I did was my previous mattress. Another great feature of this bed is that it's made in the USA. I've used it now for almost a year and love the purchase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by tosweet from good quality delivery was prompt ,did not have a strong odor,plus being made in USA was one of my decisions to purchase , , for me it could have been a bit more firmer, so far it has provided a comfortable sleep, however I will need a few more months before I can rate the durabilty , but other than that it is a good buy

Rated 4 out of 5 by debsum from Great replacement I bought this mattress as a replacement for the one our son took to his new condo. It was really easy to set up and there was no smell. We have a couple of memory foam mattresses, and while a little firm right now, I'm sure it will soften up a touch with use. You can't beat the price.

Dream big
By Jessie Bazan, communication junior
Photo by Aaron Ledesma, communication junior
Last week, the Marquette community participated in a series of events celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Office of Student Development's Center for Intercultural Engagement organized the MLK Days of Engagement that included a Mass, lunch with Professor Emeritus and civil rights author Dr. Margaret (Peggy) Rozga, a reception with American poet A. Van Jordan, and a day of unity. Communication junior Jessie Bazan shares with Marquette Magazine how participating in the unity day events was an experience she will never forget.
There is something refreshingly simplistic about breaking bread with others. To honor the life and ministry of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we didn't march or protest. We didn't preach to the masses. Instead, the Center for Intercultural Engagement invited students to a unity dinner, and then to take part in a candlelight vigil outside the Alumni Memorial Union. The act of just being present with one another was a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his life to bringing people together. Huddled close atop a batch of freshly fallen snow, we took turns reciting some of King's most famous lines. It was one of those chilling winter nights where the whipping winds seemed to grab hold of our words his words and carry them far away. Even Mother Nature works to unite the world.
In honoring King, I'm reminded how connected we all are, really. Nights like this, I can't help but chuckle at the artificial categories society tries to box us into. Race, ethnicity, age, gender, social class, sexual orientation so often, these classifications divide us. But why? Fundamentally, we are all equal. As members of the human race, we are inextricably bound with one another by our very natures. Why, then, should the color of my skin, the wrinkles donning my face or the monetary value of my bank account be used to define me? To define you? To define us?
King had a dream that one day we would be judged instead by the content of our characters. He imagined us transformed as a people into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. In the amazing web of human life, we would both be united and feel united. We all have dreams some big, some small, some realistic, others that may take a while to manifest. King had many dreams, and his dreams changed a nation. His dreams offered a platform for future generations of dreamers. Thank you, Dr. King, for inspiring me and countless others to dream big.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
One day, you'll only be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.
ok - so I sort of have spring fever but not enough to go digging yet - just thinking too hard - locked up in the depths of my shop are two Singer 15s with potted motors - the wires are clipped. Do these convert to treadle - anybody done it? What do you do with the hole in the back? Does it get a new balance wheel?
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
Ok I need some input. I am looking at a Bruce Rotary treadle. The machine and cabinet are in really good shape as far as I can see from pictures. I haven't committed yet to actually go see the machine in person, as I know I will buy it! Anyway, I have done a little research about the Bruce Sewing Machine Co. from Springfield. I have not been able to determine if they actually made the Bruce machine or if it is a badged machine. From what I have read, Davis or Free may have made the machines for Bruce. The cabinet looks like it could be either a Davis or Free design. Anyone have a Bruce Rotary or know anything about this machine?
One day, you'll only be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.
I have a 66-16. It is in probably pristine consition for a Singer from Mar 2, 1950. She came from an estate auction. It has little to no wear on any decals but it does have an issue. A rather problematic issue. I cannot get it to engage the bobbin winder. The machine runs when it's not engaged but the tire doesn't make full contact with the wheel and when it does the wheel won't move. When i was cleaning, the backside was dirty with black colored stuff on it which did some off and it wasn't the paint. Am pretty sure I don't have any other 66s or 99s around to fill up a bobbin with to see if the machine runs. Both the winder tire and belt were replaced by me. The old tire just crumbled off when I attempted to remove it in one piece.
Any suggestions from anyone? All will be appreciated. ~ Chris
I meant to behave......but there were too many other options
The 66 was manufactured between 1902 and 1956! The Redeye decal lasted until mid to late 1920's. It is quite possible the machine you are looking at was electrified - people did that all the time to those treadles. They put a motor on them as soon as they had electricity in their homes! Did you see the Serial Number?
Thank you Nancy I didn't think it was from 49 just didn't sound right to me. No I didn't get the Serial Number sure wish I would have. We are going back in a couple of days I'll get it then if it's still there. My DH got a sewing machine out of the shed, that I didn't know was there and it is a Red Eye, I was so surprised to see it. It looks like it was electrified but the wires had been cut. I would love to change it back to a treadle.

Click Here For 2007-08 GLIAC Media Day Team Information PDF
The poll was chosen for the first time in league history by selected members of the media and the GLIAC's Sports Information Directors. The 30-member group tabbed Grand Valley State and Gannon to win the conference's North and South Division titles, respectively.
The Bulldogs totaled 163 points in the balloting and trailed only GVSU's first-place 195 points in the North Division. The Lakers earned 20 of a possible 30 first-place votes with FSU receiving four top votes and third-place Michigan Tech earning six such votes to go along with 158 points.
Gannon received 27 first-place votes in the South Division en route to a 177-point effort with Hillsdale taking the final three divisional top votes and 128 points overall in placing second.
On each of the 30 ballots, the first-place team in the North Division ballot received six points while the second-place team received five points, etc. In the South Division, the first-place team was granted five points while the second-place team took four points, etc.
In addition to the preseason media poll, the league also released a Preseason All-GLIAC Team, which was chosen by the conference's head coaches. FSU senior forward/center Rachel Folcik (Powers/Carney-Nadeau) was not only among five individuals named to the North Division team, but additionally was chosen as the GLIAC's Preseason Player of the Year.
"I'm extremely excited to have Rachel back and proud she's been voted the preseason player of the year," said FSU head coach Tracey Dorow, who will embark on her 10th season at the helm. "Everyone in the league lost a lot of key players, but we're excited that the conference seems to get stronger and stronger every year."
As a junior last season, Folcik led the Bulldogs to a school-record 23 wins (23-9) and the program's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen. The 2006-07 NCAA Division II Kodak/Women's Basketball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-American was named to both the All-GLIAC North Division and All-Great
Lakes Region First Teams last year in addition to the GLIAC North Division All-Defensive Team. Folcik's 241 made field goals and 602 total points last season were both school single-season marks while her 261 rebounds was the second-highest seasonal figure in FSU history. The 2006-07 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV
Women's Basketball College Division Second Team pick, who averaged a team-best 18.8 points per game, scored in double-figures 27 times last year and notched 13 double-double (points & rebounds) performances.
A team captain, Folcik also averaged a squad-best 8.2 rebounds per game last campaign. She finished the year listed second overall in scoring and fifth in rebounds among the GLIAC's overall leaders while ranking second in both field goal (.555) and free throw (.860) percentage.
The FSU women's squad returns three starters and eight letterwinners from one of the most successful seasons in school history. Ferris State, which advanced to the NCAA-II Great Lakes Regional Championship Game for the first time ever last season, was ranked 25th nationally in the final 2006-07 USA Today/ESPN NCAA Division II Top 25 Poll. The Bulldogs, who prior to last year had never won a NCAA Tournament game, recorded back-to-back wins in their first two national tournament contests en route to the regional runner-up finish. Ferris also compiled a second-place tying 13-5 GLIAC regular-season finish and earned the program's eighth consecutive GLIAC Tournament bid.
The Bulldog women's basketball squad first hits the hardwood with an exhibition contest Thursday, Nov. 1, at NCAA Division I Central Michigan starting at 7 p.m. (EDT) inside CMU's Rose Arena at Mount Pleasant, Mich. Their first official contest will be Friday, Nov. 16, when FSU squares off against the host school in the Quincy (Ill.) Subway Tip-Off Tourney with tipoff set for 8 p.m. (EST) in Quincy, Ill.
The following is the complete 2007-08 GLIAC Women's Basketball Preseason Media Poll with first-place votes in parenthesis.

Juanes: Reflecting On The Peaks and Valleys of Stardom
Colombian musician, singer and songwriter Juanes skyrocketed to international fame in the early 2000s as he embarked upon his solo career. But, as he describes in his new memoir, called Juanes: Chasing the Sun, his road to stardom hasn't been without its unexpected --and sometimes unpleasant -- twists and turns.
Juanes joins us for a look back at the first four decades of his life, sharing details about a recent "detox" from the music biz, his early days as the lead singer of a metal band, and what he believes to have been a UFO sighting in Geneva, Switzerland.
Plus, Juanes shares details about his next project -- an album produced by Grammy-winning producer Steve Lillywhite, that he expects to be released at the end of 2013 or early 2014.

Designer Cat Pagoda
"Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I received the Pogoda very promptly, I think by Tues or Wed of the following week. I have 3 cats that are all under 2 yrs. old. When I brought it in, my steadfastly curious and smart cat promptly found a hole in the box big enough to climb through. When I tore the box open, she was sitting on the middle shelf, cleaning herself. It's been hers ever since. All 3 of my cats love the pagoda, and I do too! It's very sturdy and well constructed, and the design is perfect for multiple cats."
Pat - Hagerstown, MD
Versatile Spider Cat Bed
"The spider cat bed arrived today and it is absolutely wonderful! You should sell it at all the cat shows! Thanks so much!
Cindy Frisco, TX
Tropical Thanks
"My daughter is so happy with the Tropical Flower for her two new cats she got from me. I love the way it is put together, so easy ... we will be getting more from you soon. Thank you again."
Vivian M.
What is the customer saying:
Monica - Michigan
The "Tropical" is a real crowd pleaser
"My kitten, Mei Mei, loves her Tropical Flower and her bed from Great Lakes Cat Furniture! I would become dizzy if I tried to sum up how many times she is in and out, up and down her Tropical every single day! And, the naps! Oh, the naps! It's so beautiful and fun as well! I love it! It's been even hard for me to keep my small dog, Monty, off of it at times. We all are just crazy about it and the bed. She uses that all the time as well! You sell top notch furniture, without a doubt." Connie - Somerville, MA
Cats Enjoying Wall Mount Furniture
"I got the shelf and bed at the International. The carpeted wall is the only carpet in my house. The cats love climbing the wall to get on the shelf or in the bed."
An Impressive Assemblage of Cat Tree Furniture
"Our HUGE order of Great Lakes fantasy cat furniture arrived safe and sound! We were able to turn a boring Maine Coon cattery into Kitty dreamland!
Great Lakes did not only patiently work with us to accommodate our little extravagancies, they also were extremely co-operative and helpful with color selection, shipping arrangements, assembly and after care. This stuff is addictive!! We are now saving our pennies because we plan to add a piece of their artwork to each and every room of our entire house.
I have been purchasing Cattery furniture for two decades and have never come across such creativity, sturdiness and craftsmanship. Who needs pet store bought, poorly made cat trees that land in the garbage after a year of usage? A large Maine Coon definitely needs a Little Oak or a Sunflower! What an awesome company to deal with. Thank you!"
Judy Schulz
Another Comfortable Sunflower
"I just wanted to thank you again for the Sunflower. Our kittens just LOVE it. It didn't take them long before they made themselves comfortable. Attached you will find a picture of them. Unfortunately, the little one doesn't stay still long enough. She is at the base planning her next attack. Thanks again and I'm raving to everyone about your wonderful product!"
Regina and Patrick
A Tropical for "Penny"
"Thank you very Much for the Beautiful, Amazing, Colorful, FUN Cat Tree!!!! Not only does our Precious Penny Love it, but when Salvatore and I saw it, we decided immediately that it must not go into the bedroom as originally planned, but right into the living room so all can see it!! It is that BEAUTIFUL!!!!! So sturdy and soft and a Disneyland for our one and only Kitty!! We would like to get rid of all the people furniture and have nothing but your beautiful trees!!! As I said twice before, It is that BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thanks again, Sincerely Ilsebet, Salvatore, and Penny!!!!!"
Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey
Custom Black-Eyed Susan
As for your workmanship: I am truly happy and I am totally blown away by the amazing piece of art in my living room! When I first found your website and saw your cat perches, I thought I was being a bit frivolous even considering purchasing such a costly item for my three cats. However, after perusing several different cat tree sites and pet stores as well, I realized that the cost of your pieces wasn't really that much higher than others I have seen, but yours were so much more unique.
When I received the piece and saw not only how great it looked but how well made it was, I was so excited about getting the ugly old perch out of the way and replacing it with a work of art. The construction is incredible. Rarely do you find something constructed with a great deal of thought, care, and concern for the welfare of our kitties!
Each piece is padded and flexible enough for our oldest and our most recent addition, with everything not just fitting perfectly together, but also knowing that it each piece can be replaced with a turn of a screw is better yet!
And a work of art it truly is! My custom version of your black-eyed Susan looks great in my house- with no desire to bury it when company comes! Your customer service is the best- I was treated as well as a neighbor or friend, certainly different than our New Jersey pet stores! I can't help expressing what a great produce I just purchased, how much my cats took to it immediately, and how happy I am to have done business with you. Please feel free to use the attached pictures as needed.

Tropical Contentment
Hi Tom, as you can see Ollie (3 yr old) and Wiley, kitten LOVE their new tree! We are loving it too, so fun to watch them play! I have more pictures, so hard to decide what to send! Good job with your product! Ayn
"The Winterfrost Oriental Shorthairs LOVE the new cat tree! They helped me put it together and were immediately all over the tree. Several are camped out on the leaves and some like the cubby holes inside. Vert attractive tree and I can't believe how well built it is. Truly a quality piece of art that is also functional! The cats give it Five Thumbs Up!"
Regards, Valerie Winterfrost Oriental Shorthairs
"Just wanted to let you know we've had the Jack-n-Beanstalk put together for about a week and my cats LOVE it! I have three of them and there is almost always at least one of them on it. The only problem we had was when we were putting it together - it was difficult to keep them off of it so we could finish. :) Thanks for designing such a perfect cat tree!"
Amanda - Youngstown, OH
"We have two cats adn they just love their Great Lakes cat furniture. They are only a year old and are very playful so having the "Big Oak" is a great way for them to play together. They are full of energy, chase each other up and down and all through the tree. I am extremely impressed with how sturdy your designs are! They also spend much of their down time napping on the tree. The cats also like their "Sunflower" a lot, they will actually play hide and seek with each other and paw at each other through the openings. They have a great time playing on their furniture and our family has a great time watching them. The quality far surpassed my expectations and I would recommend Great Lakes Cat Furniture to everyone."
Kim ~ Cedar Springs, MI
"This was our first of now three cat posts that we purchased from Great Lakes Cat Furniture. We were so impressed with the quality and design that we had two more made up for our other rooms. I have always had cats and their cat posts are superior to any I have ever had. My mother runs a boarding house for cats and she is now also the proud owner of one. We have since had another of our cat owner friends purchase one and his son saw it and he also purchased one. Maybe we should be on commission. They are great fun and we can't thank the guys enough for all the thought and creativitiy they put into their designs."
Nan & John D - Grand Rapids
"Thanks, guys. Our three cats are big guys, they knock over many different cat trees because of their weight and energy. Your cat tree is sturdy enough for the three of them to play on and not knock over. Thanks again. I also am e-mailing a photo of the three using the cat tree."
Jen - Grand Rapids
"I just wanted to let you know how much my cats, Bob and Millie, love the cat tree you made for them. Five minutes after it was delivered Millie was playing on it. Bob is a little more timid so it took him a day and a half to use it. But there is no stopping him now. He is up there every day playing or napping. For two or three years I have wanted to get a tree for them but thought it would take up too much space in my small house. The one you made fits perfectly and looks great also".
Madeline - Grand Rapids, MI
"We bought a cat tree last year at the Crown Plaza cat show and are very happy with your product. Our cats immediately took a liking to it and now spend the majority of the day climbing, playing and resting on the tree. Also really please with the quality of the material used and workmanship because it's not showing any wear. Thanks for a great product"

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause 2 out of 3 ain't bad
Now don't be sad
Cause 2 out of 3 ain't bad
Meat Loaf, from his 1977 album Bat Out Of Hell (song written by Jim Steinman)
Before I get into why I'm using what is arguably Meatloaf's best song as an introduction, there are two things I want to get off the plate. First, you can now track me daily on twitter @marinkatusa. Second, on a flight from Florida to Georgia, Doug Casey and I flew with Porter Stansberry, and the bet is on. One hundred ounces of silver will go to the winner, and in addition we are having a radio debate next week – more information to come.
Now on to this week's article. I spent the last few days of April at the Casey Research Recovery Reality Check Summit in Florida. The event was packed with interesting, thought-provoking speakers and panel discussions debating the health of the world's economic recovery, the meaning behind the recent correction in commodity prices, and the best path forward from here. It was a fantastic event, and for those who were unable to attend an audio collection is being produced, in CD as well as instantly available MP3 format, that will have every presentation and every chart, graphic, and slide each speaker used. I recommend ordering your own copy, as it will be well worth it.
I came away with lots of food for thought. I also came away with renewed enthusiasm for one of my guiding investment principles: follow the right people.
The renewed enthusiasm came from a cool survey that ran alongside the show. Attendees were invited to vote for the three companies at the Summit that had the best upside potential. Now, companies gain upside potential from a number of factors; but without one fundamental component – the right people – even a company with all kinds of interesting projects and plans is a lost cause. Company management is the ingredient that turns upside potential into reality. That's why I would have cast my votes based on the people involved in each company.
I know hundreds of good people in this industry, but you can't follow and invest in the movements of hundreds of people. You can only track the movements of a few, which is why I created the Casey NexTen. The NexTen is a list of the top ten up-and-coming titans of the resource industry. These are the movers and shakers who I think will make resource-industry history time and again over the coming years.
Two of the guys on my NexTen list were at the Recovery Reality Check Summit, presenting their companies. We must have done a good job selecting the members of the NexTen, because of the three companies at the show voted to have the best upside potential, two were NexTen companies.
Two out of three ain't bad.
Since we can't go back, we have to look forward
Imagine investing in Silver Wheaton seven years ago. The brainchild of resource legend Ian Telfer, Silver Wheaton is a metals streaming company, which means it provides upfront payments to mine developers to secure the right to buy all or part of the future mine's production at a low fixed cost.
Telfer founded Silver Wheaton (T.SLW) in 2004. In its first 18 months the company's share price ranged between $2 and $5. Today, Silver Wheaton shares are worth $28 to $35, depending on current precious metals prices. That means a $1,000 investment in 2005 at $3.50 per share would today be worth no less than $8,500. When the price of silver peaked in late February, pushing SLW's share price to almost $40, the savvy investor who bought SLW in 2005 could have sold his shares for $11,285. That would be what we call a ten-bagger.
Here's another multi-ten-bagger. In 1993 geologists from a company called Diamond Fields Resources were prospecting in northern Canada – northern Labrador to be specific. Instead of diamonds, they found nickel. A lot of nickel. The Voisey's Bay deposit remains one of the world's richest nickel-copper-cobalt discoveries in the world; and by 1996 it earned Diamond Fields a $4.6-billion takeover offer from Inco.
The man who led Diamond Fields through this discovery and deal is the now world-renowned Robert Friedland, who is also a Casey Explorers' League honoree. As Diamond Fields' stock shot from a few dollars to almost $27, Friedland's personal net worth grew by $500 million. And he hasn't slowed down since: He most recently led Ivanhoe Mines through the discovery and development of a massive copper-gold-silver deposit in Mongolia called Oyu Tolgoi, adding another item to a long list of laudable accomplishments.
Telfer and Friedland are part of a small group of resource titans who proved their successes were more than just luck by repeating their resource feats several times over. As mentioned, Friedland's list of successes is too long to list. Ross Beaty earned the nickname "the broken slot machine" for the repeated payouts he generated for shareholders who followed him from one landmark deal to the next. Lukas and his late father Adolf Lundin are legends in the resource sector, each with a long list of hugely profitable companies.
How fantastic it would be to have an investment time machine, to travel back in time and invest in Diamond Fields in 1994, or in Silver Wheaton in 2004, or in any of Beaty's or Lundin's companies before they made it big. Ten-baggers all around! Unfortunately, time travel isn't an option, so since we can't go back, we have to look forward: We have to figure out who will comprise the next group of resource titans and follow their moves in anticipation of the next big win.
The NexTen
The NexTen is that next generation of titans. The NexTen are all young, driven, and successful beyond their years. By hitching your cart to their horses now, you can follow them through several more decades of discoveries and deals.
The characters on the NexTen list are very impressive. Take Amir Adnani. Many people spend their entire careers trying to find a deposit and build a mine. Amir Adnani built an operating, revenue-generating uranium mine by the time he was 33.
Amir is the president and CEO of Uranium Energy (NYSE.UEC). Founded in 2005 and taken public a year later, UEC is focused on the 300-mile long South Texas uranium belt. It's an area long known to host uranium, and in particular it hosts uranium that can be leached out of the ground using a technique called in-situ recovery (ISR). Compared to conventional mining, ISR is a much less damaging and more cost-effective way to extract uranium.
Amir honed in on South Texas because it offered the perfect opportunity: to develop a set of low-impact uranium mines arranged around a central processing facility and start producing uranium just before the United States loses its biggest uranium supplier – the Megatons deal. Through this agreement, Russia has provided the US with half of its nuclear fuel for the last 17 years by decommissioning Soviet warheads – but the deal is set to end next year. To transform that dream into a reality, Amir has led UEC team through an impressive list of accomplishments since 2007. They acquired uranium-exploration databases covering the entire region. They bought the old Hobson ISR processing facility and completely refurbished it. They drilled off resources at three sites near Hobson. The company permitted one for development and started producing uranium in late 2010. They also permitted and are currently building a second mine. They have raised money and spent it wisely.
Building a mine is never easy. Building a uranium mine in the middle of Texas is very challenging. Amir handled every hurdle with aplomb and has never taken his eye off the prize: to transform UEC into a significant American uranium producer just as global uranium supplies start to tighten and prices start to climb. And remember – Amir managed to do all this before his 34th birthday. The guy has decades of mine building, project buying, and deposit discovering ahead of him. That's a trajectory I want to track.
Another NexTen honoree who continuously achieves feats beyond his years is Nolan Watson. Ian Telfer may have founded Silver Wheaton, but Nolan was the company's first employee and was instrumental in its success. As CFO, Nolan worked alongside Telfer for four years; together they grew SLW from a startup to a company with a market capitalization of $3 billion.
To date, those four years developing SLW remain the best way anyone could have ever learned the streaming and royalties business – there is now no one who knows the business better than Nolan. At the age of 30 Nolan decided to apply that knowledge to a new venture: he founded Sandstorm Resources, a streaming company modeled on Silver Wheaton but not limited to silver. A year later he led the charge as Sandstorm raised $47 million from eager investors, and in its first four years Sandstorm's share price nearly quadrupled.
Nolan is exceptionally smart and extraordinarily driven. His list of successes by the age of 33 is phenomenal. Just imagine what the guy will have accomplished 20 years from now… and how much we could all profit by following his moves. I've done my portfolio a favor and have invested in both Nolan and Amir.
Trusting Pareto
There's a mathematical principle behind the concept of basing investment decisions on the actions of just a few exceptional individuals, known as the Pareto principle. In 1906 Vilfredo Pareto observed that 80% of Italy's land was owned by 20% of the population; 35 years later Joseph Juran noted that 20% of the pea pods in his garden contained 80% of the peas. Thus was born the Pareto principle, which states that 80% of the effects in a situation come from 20% of the causes.
It really does seem to hold up. For example, at present the richest 20% of the world's population earns just over 80% of its income. Many quality control regimes focus on fixing the top 20% of reported bugs to fix 80% of a system's errors. In the US, 20% of healthcare patients use 80% of the system's resources. And so on.
In investing, we take Pareto one step further. Trying to watch the movements of the top 20% of market movers would be very difficult and leave much room for error – too many people to ferret out and follow. So we apply the principle a second time: if 80% of market moves are sparked by 20% of investors, then 80% of those effects come from 20% of those 20%. Eighty percent of 80% is 64%; 20% of 20% is 4%. So Pareto derived, as it were, suggests that 64% of market movements come from 4% of the players.
Four percent we can work with. My Casey's NexTen list is an attempt to identify some of that 4%, specifically the most impressive industry actors under 40 years of age.
I must be on to something. At the Summit there were only two representatives from my NexTen list presenting at the event, and both made it into the top three voters' choice list. Like Meat Loaf said, two out of three ain't bad.

Oil Slumps to Three-Month Low After European Elections (Bloomberg)
Speculation that the new governments of France and Greece will derail austerity measures in the Eurozone pushed the price of oil down to a three-month low. Downward pressure on oil stemmed mostly from the falling value of the euro against the dollar, a shift that generally reduces oil's appeal as an investment. In France, new president François Hollande inherits an economy that is barely growing, with jobless claims at their highest level in 12 years. Hollande's platform calls for higher taxes, increased spending, and delayed deficit reduction – policies German Chancellor Angela Merkel opposes. In Greece voters also flocked to anti-austerity, anti-bailout parties. West Texas Intermediate crude for June delivery slid to US$97.94 a barrel, its lowest settlement since February 6, while Brent oil for June settled at US$113.16 a barrel.
China's Steel Mills Too Big to Fail – Or Succeed (Reuters)
Trying to serve the "twin masters of the state and the market" has pushed China's steel sector to the brink. Chairman Mao Zedong turned China's steel sector into a key symbol of the country's economic and political prowess, but now margins are plummeting and debts are piling up at lumbering state-owned mills that have never needed to compete for survival. Ferocious expansion since 1978 has produced a massive steel sector in China, one that sates 45% of global demand, but an obsession with size and technological advances means costs have risen out of control just as demand slows.
Coal Fights Obama with NASCAR, YouTube Campaigns (Bloomberg)
Coal supporters are embracing an all-of-the-above strategy to defend their industry against what they consider regulatory overreach in Washington. Coal backers are slighted that President Obama regularly fails to mention coal in his comments about the US's energy future; worse still for industry proponents are a series of regulations related to air pollution and mountaintop mining. More generally, coal is losing its position as the fuel of choice for US electricity generation – coal is now responsible for just 40% of electricity generation in the US, down from more than 50% only a decade ago. To fight back, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity is sponsoring Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s JR Motorsports team and have produced and promoted a YouTube video on the economic impact of the new coal regulations, while coal political action committees and industry executives have spent more than $5 million on political donations.
Higher Bills Likely as LNG Heads to Asia (Financial Times)
Gas prices and energy bills are set to climb in the United Kingdom as cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are diverted to Asia. UK imports of LNG have plummeted 30% this year as prices climbed, largely in response to increased demand from post-Fukushima Japan, where there are now no operational nuclear reactors. The drop in imports shows how the UK is losing out in the competition for energy supplies to fast-growing economies in Asia and South America, a problem that could get more acute as Britain's own indigenous gas production declines. Britain bears the brunt of any disruption in the LNG market because it has fewer long-term LNG supply deals than others in the EU.
Japan Counts Down to End of Nuclear Power (Financial Times)
For weeks only one of Japan's 54 commercial nuclear reactors had been operational, and now there are none: on May 5 the No. 3 reactor in the northern coastal village of Tomari went offline, leaving Japan without nuclear power for the first time since 1970. Japan's nuclear future is very unclear. The national government has yet to set a clear direction for the power sector but did green-light several reactors for restart. Those reactors remain offline, however, because local authorities still oppose any restarts. Many wonder whether Japan can get by without nuclear energy, which until last year accounted for about a third of the country's electricity supply.

Select a cabbage which is firm, has ivory or green outer leaves, and has leaves that are tightly wrapped. The cabbage should seem heavy for its size. This indicates a high percentage of the weight is nutrient rich water which will become the fermentation brine. Green leaves indicate a high volume of vitamin C and other healthy nutrients for both fermentation and you. As with all foods, freshness is critical.
Prepare the cabbage as described above.
Weigh the prepared cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl; the above amounts are per pound of cabbage. Be sure to multiply amounts based on cabbage weight. The ratio of salt to cabbage is critical. Too little salt will cause spoilage and too much will prevent fermentation.
Sprinkle about 1/3 of the dry ingredients onto the cabbage and mix well using your hands. Repeat this two more times. As the salt is added you will notice that brine will begin to collect as moisture is extracted from the cabbage. This brine is the medium in which the cabbage will ferment. The freshness of the cabbage will determine the amount of brine created.
Allow the cabbage to rest for 10 minutes then mix again. Check the volume of brine and add a little bottled spring water if necessary to ensure that there is enough brine to cover the cabbage once it is packed down.
Make sure that your pickle crock or glass jar is completely clean. Place a layer of cabbage in the crock and use a potato masher to pack it down tight. Repeat this process until all of the cabbage is packed into the crock.
Rinse off the cabbage leaves you saved prior to shredding and press them down on the packed cabbage to form a cover. It is important that the crock or jar not be more than ¾ full and that there is about ¼ inch of brine covering the cabbage. Add a little bottled spring water if necessary.
Wash and rinse the heavy plastic bag. Place the bag on top of the cabbage and fill it with about one inch of water. Make sure the bag creates a water balloon which covers the cabbage completely. Make sure that there is no air trapped between the bag and cabbage. The perfect layering will be cabbage on the bottom, a layer of brine and then the water bag seal. This is critical since any exposure to air during fermentation will cause the sauerkraut to spoil. Add more water to the bag to create a complete seal against the sides of the crock. Close the bag with a twist tie and place a cover on the crock but do not seal the container. Gases given off during fermentation will escape out from under the plastic bag.
Place the crock or jar in a dark, warm (70-78°F) place for three days.
After three days move the crock to a cooler place (68-70°F) for three weeks. It is critical that you do not open the crock or expose the sauerkraut to the air during this time. No peeking!
The sauerkraut fermentation is now complete. I recommend that the finished sauerkraut be used fresh or packed in plastic bags and frozen.

Score Sense Misleading advertisement with intent to siphon funds from customer's account Internet Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
After reading a Score Sense online advertisement that led me to believe that I would be charged a very small fee, less than $4 for one credit report, I provided Score Sense with my credit card number. There was no explicit indication in the advertisement that I would be getting anything more than one credit report for the one-time fee I was paying. Neither was it explicitly mentioned that I would be charged $29.95 per month from the second month onwards, after my payment to Score Sense. All this happened in December 2011.
It was only this month, July 2013, in which I found out that Score Sense has been charging me $29.95 each month for the service, which they are claiming I signed up for, based on my failure to cancel my membership with them, after receiving my first report.
Score Sense has deceived me, with unclear advertising, and with malicious intent of siphoning funds out of my credit card, without first appropriately making their intentions explicitly clear to me. I am looking for help to recover the funds I taken from accounts, which amounts to about $600 since December 2011. I would also appreciate any legel advice you can provide in this matter.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Initial impressions of the new Dallara car and engine package from IZOD IndyCar Series drivers?
It certainly was quick.
Scott Dixon (1 minute, 03.0406 seconds) was 1.1 seconds faster in the initial practice session for the season-opening Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on the 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street circuit comparable to last year. In the second session on a humid afternoon, Will Power (1:02.0077) topped his best lap from Practice 2 last March by 1.3 seconds.
"It's amazing. You come up with a new car and new engines and you look at the field and it's so tight because two-tenths of a second hold four or five people," Lotus Dreyer & Reinbold Racing's Oriol Servia said. "It really shows how competitive the championship is and it will make us work that much harder to succeed."

One second separated the top 21 cars; with Chevrolet-powered vehicles occupying six of the top 10 places (the Bowtie supplies the 2.2-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6 engine to 11 of the 26 entrants).
"It's actually very tight and very close. It's pretty exciting for the fans," said Power, who was the pole winner in 2011 with a lap of 1:01.9625 in the Firestone Fast Six. His 1:01.6025 pole-winning lap in 2010 is likely to be supplanted March 24 (1:55 p.m. ET) in the three rounds of qualifications.

"In practice, you don't have the intensity that you have in qualifying, but you certainly take it seriously as far as getting a good setup. You have to get the car right because that's what you'll be using in qualifying and the race."
Team Penske teammate Ryan Briscoe (1:02.0931) was second in the No. 2 IZOD Team Penske car and reigning IZOD IndyCar Series champion and defending race winner Dario Franchitti (1:02.2232) was third in the No. 10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing entry.
Rubens Barrichello, making his IZOD IndyCar Series debut after 19 years in Formula One, had a mechanical issue in the morning session and totaled 25 laps for the day.
"With the problem we had this morning, it was pretty much a setback," he said. "I spent the afternoon session learning the track, while everyone else was now improving their cars. Hopefully tomorrow I can improve a little more from today."
Mechanical issues aside, drivers were adapting to the new primary Firehawk tires supplied by Firestone for the race that feature updated tread compounds applied to the same street course tire construction used in 2011.
"The car has a decent amount of power and grip to hold onto the (green) track the way it does," said James Hinchcliffe, driver of the No. 27 GoDaddy.com car for Andretti Autosport. "We have a brand new tire compound this year for street circuits and the tires are really, really good when they're new and it feels like we have a ton of grip and the balance is really good. But it seems like compared to last year they are degrading at a quicker rate. Maybe that's intentional; I think Firestone was maybe asked to do something to spice up the show a bit.
"When the tires fall away sooner it will definitely make the racing better. With the limited time we've had on the tire so far it's just up to us to figure it out, get a better feel and learn how to keep (the tires) under the car a bit better and longer."
Note: An unapproved engine change on the No. 77 Schmidt/Hamilton Motorsports car will result in the loss of 10 spots on the starting grid, according to IZOD IndyCar Series rules.
