Citation: Gonzalez, V.H., Griswold, T.L., Praz, C.J., Danforth, B.N. 2012. Phylogeny of the bee family Megachilidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) based on adult morphology. Systematic Entomology. 37:261-286. Interpretive Summary: Bees are among the most important pollinators of flowering plants in most ecosystems. A sound understanding of the historical relationships of bees is important for at least two reasons: 1) it provides a predictive framework for biological traits such as nesting biology and floral specialization, and 2) results in a stable classificatory framework that allows for clear reporting on and communicating about bees. This work is a comprehensive, broadly comparative study on the diversity and evolution of bees of the second largest family of bees, the Megachilidae. Bees in this family are solitary and are both ecologically and economically important. Many species are pollinators of natural, urban, and agricultural vegetation. Based on the study of external morphological characteristics of both living and fossil species preserved in Baltic amber, we formulate hypotheses on their relationships and discuss their evolution and distribution worldwide. We present alternative classifications as well as descriptions, illustrations, and identification guides for the major groups within the family.
Technical Abstract: Megachilidae is the second largest bee family containing more than 4000 described species worldwide in two subfamilies and seven extant tribes; it also includes a few morphologically distinctive extinct lineages from the middle Eocene: one tribe (Protolithurgini) and two subtribes presently in the Osmiini (Glyptapina and Ctenoplectrellina). Megachilidae consists of both parasitic and solitary free-living species, some of them ecologically and economically important pollinators. Phylogenetic relationships within this family are poorly understood. The monophyly of the subfamily Fideliinae is questionable, the relationships among the tribes and subtribes in the subfamily Megachilinae are unknown, and some extant genera cannot be placed with certainty at the tribal level. Using a cladistic analysis of adult external morphological characters, we explore the relationships of the eight tribes and two subtribes currently recognized in Megachilidae. Our dataset included 80% of the extant generic-level diversity, representatives of all fossil taxa, and was analyzed using parsimony. We employed 200 characters and selected seven outgroups and 72 ingroup species of 60 genera, plus seven species of four extinct genera from Baltic amber. Our analysis shows that Fideliinae and the tribes Anthidiini and Osmiini of Megachilinae are paraphyletic; it supports the monophyly of Megachilinae, including the extinct taxa, and the sister group relationship of Lithurgini to the remaining megachilines. The Sub-Saharan genus Aspidosmia, a rare group with a mixture of osmiine and anthidiine features, is herein removed from Anthidiini and placed in its own tribe, Aspidosmiini Gonzalez & Griswold, new tribe. Protolithurgini is the sister of Lithurgini, both placed herein in the subfamily Lithurginae; the other extinct taxa, Glyptapina and Ctenoplectrellina, are more basally related among Megachilinae than Osmiini, near Aspidosmia, and are herein treated at the tribal level. Noteriades, a genus presently in the Osmiini, is herein transferred to the Megachilini. Thus, we recognize four subfamilies (Fideliinae, Pararhophitinae, Lithurginae, and Megachilinae) and nine tribes in Megachilidae. We briefly discuss the evolutionary history and biogeography of the family, present alternative classifications, and provide a revised key to the extant tribes of Megachilinae.

AT&T Wireless: Ma Bell's Other Gem
By Olga Kharif
Comcast's $40 billion offer to buy AT&T Broadband on July 8 has the Street speculating about an impending bidding war for Mike Armstrong's cable television assets and shareholders salivating for a big payout. But another part of AT&T's kingdom could give investors just as much bang for the buck -- if not more.
Many analysts expect AT&T Wireless (AWE ) stock to soar in the next 12 months. The shares now trade at $17. But Morgan Stanley Dean Witter has a 52-week target of $26 on the stock. The shares are trading at a 41% discount to their fair value, estimates Morgan Stanley. And Lehman Brothers predicts a climb to $44 per share.
Why the big upside? AT&T Wireless has the healthiest balance sheet of any public wireless company, with $10.6 billion in cash to $8.4 billion in debt. "It's a growth company trading at non-growth company valuation," says Patrick Comack, an analyst with investment bank Guzman & Co. "It's a steal." How much of a steal? The company is trading at the same valuation in terms of revenue growth as the slow-growing, old regional wire-line telecoms, says Comack.
Of the nationwide wireless carriers, only Sprint PCS (PCS ) rivals it as a wireless bargain, say analysts. Morgan Stanley believes Sprint PCS will grow from around $20 a share to $36 within 12 months. Sprint's second-quarter revenues, reported July 19, reached $2.26 billion, up 53% from the same period last year.
Sprint, however, is a much smaller company. Of the heavyweights, AT&T Wireless, the nation's third-largest wireless carrier, is the best performer, says William Power, an analyst with Robert W. Baird & Co. The company's subscriber growth is higher than the industry average -- Morgan Stanley expects its user base to reach 23.6 million in 2003, up from 15.7 million today. And AT&T Wireless's customer-acquisition cost of $320 per person is lower than most companies -- including that of Sprint PCS, says Comack.
More importantly, AT&T Wireless' business is expected to grow at a 23% annual rate through 2005, according to Morgan Stanley. That's much higher than the expected 12% to 13% growth for market leader Verizon Wireless. Verizon, which delayed its initial public offering (IPO) in the fall of 2000, is expected to go public before the end of 2001.
Why is AT&T Wireless stock so low? With the telecom industry hit hard by the economic downturn, investors have been avoiding anything phone-related like the plague. Says Comack, wireless companies "are getting crushed in the stampede."
Too bad. Wireless is a high-growth sector, projected to nearly double, from $53 billion this year to $98 billion by 2003, according to Morgan Stanley. The jump in demand for wireless services, such as mobile Internet access, will drive those numbers, as will the growth of voice users. U.S. cell-phone subscribers are projected to increase from 110 million last year to 180 million in 2003.
To be sure, the economic slowdown may be putting a temporary crimp in growth. In the long run, however, AT&T Wireless could profit nicely from that wireless-market expansion. The company is expected to post $3.2 billion in revenues when it reports second-quarter earnings on July 24, according to 20 analysts polled by FirstCall. That's up slightly from last quarter, and more than 30% better than second-quarter 2000 results. While it is expected to announce a 1-cent loss per share for the second quarter, AT&T Wireless should attain profitability in 2001 -- and analysts expect the solid growth to continue.
Recent deals have further strengthened AT&T Wireless' hand. On June 27, the company struck a deal with America Online (AOL ) to put Instant Messenger and AOL Online services on AT&T cell phones. That could unleash a flood of AOL users. And on July 17, AT&T Wireless launched a new high-speed data service in Seattle, one that provides Internet access to cell-phone users at speeds as much as 10 times faster than other wireless providers. According to Luiz Carvalho, an analyst with Morgan Stanley, those data services are priced right and will generate a lot of demand.
What's more, AT&T Wireless's nascent experiment with pre-paid plans could pay off big time. Today, U.S. cell-phone penetration stands at 35% of the population. But only 30% of young people 15- to 17-years-old own them, according to Jupiter Research. AT&T Wireless is trying to reach out to this underserved segment, as well as elderly consumers. Unlike most other wireless companies, which provide clunky old phones, AT&T Wireless is offering state-of-the-art digital phones to pre-paid customers. The company hopes that customers will later "graduate" to more pricey services, explains Bob Johnson, executive vice-president at AT&T Wireless.
With its strong balance sheet, AT&T Wireless has the luxury of being able to make strategic acquisitions with the goal of reducing roaming costs and buying better coverage. Analysts speculate future buys could include Bellevue (Wash.)-based Western Wireless Corp. (WWCA ) and Triton PCS (TPCS ). AT&T Wireless will pay Triton $100 million in roaming fees this year alone, says Baird & Co.'s Power. In fact, the buying process may already be underway. On July 3, the company bought an additional stake in Rogers Wireless Communications (RCN ) for $380 million, increasing its ownership in the Canadian carrier from 19% to 34%. AT&T Wireless would not comment on any merger or acquisition plans.
To be sure, not everything is bright and shiny for AT&T Wireless. The company's margins, though twice the industry average, are lower than that of competitors Cingular and Verizon, says Power. But Guzman & Co.'s Comack insists that means AT&T Wireless has a tremendous room for growth.
Another factor: There's some concern that operating multiple networks could burden the company with higher overheads, says Alex Trofimoff of Bernstein Investment Research. AT&T Wireless will need to spend a hefty $5.4 billion this year and $5.6 billion more in 2002 to build out data networks, estimates Morgan Stanley's Carvalho. Its move into prepaid could also increase customer churn, says Simon Reeves, analyst with Pacific Crest Securities.
Despite those worries, the company looks attractive to many investors -- and maybe even some suitors. Andrew Cole of tech consultancy Adventis expects AT&T Wireless to be bought within 18 months. Possible buyers, according to Cole, are France Telecom (FTE ) and NTT DoCoMo (NTDMY ). Cell-phone savvy NTT already owns a 16% stake in AT&T Wireless, a seat on its board, and a veto vote over any new minority investors into the company. Meanwhile, European heavyweight France Telecom has expressed interest in entering the U.S. market, says Power. Another possibility could be a merger with a U.S. company. VoiceStream Wireless or Cingular Wireless, which have networks based on similar technologies, seem the likely choices.
Analysts warn that the company's near-term stock performance might not prove stellar, due to a dramatic increase in the number of shares traded as AT&T dumps more of its stake in the company. In the long run, though, AT&T Wireless could be a keeper. "If you are willing to sit through some ups and down [near-term], ultimately you are going to do well with the stock," predicts Power. Bottom fishers, take note.

On Wednesday, Ford and State Farm insurance announced a collaboration to offer auto insurance using Ford SYNC In-Car technology.
According to Ford [2], this technology could save drivers up to 40% per year through the State Farm Drive Safe & Save insurance discount program depending on their annual mileage. The discount is based on the vehicle odometer reading that is reported when the driver uses Vehicle Health Report, a standard feature of SYNC.
The program allows State Farm [3]customers with select SYNC-equipped Ford Motor Company vehicles to reduce their auto insurance premiums by using the Vehicle Health Report feature to report their mileage, says Ford (Dearborn, Mich., USA).
The magnitude of the savings will be determined by the number of miles they drive. Those choosing to enroll in the program will initially save about 5% on their auto insurance coverage. The amount of premium savings will be determined at each renewal date (every six months) based on the number of miles driven during that period. Those driving the national average of 1,000 miles per month will typically save around 10%, but that could change depending on actual mileage driven, with low-mileage drivers saving up to 40%, according to Ford.
Ford SYNC [4]is an in-car connectivity system that provides drivers with the ability to voice command and control their mobile devices, like cell phones and MP3 players, and provides services such as 911 Assist, an emergency calling feature, and Vehicle Health Report.
Vehicle Health Report is a standard, no-subscription feature that allows owners to request a diagnostic report about their vehicle's performance and maintenance needs, says Ford. Since Vehicle Health Report pulls the odometer reading directly from the engine computer, the mileage from the report is considered verified and can be shared with State Farm representatives to qualify the vehicle for Drive Safe & Save.
State Farm's Drive Safe & Save program for Ford SYNC will initially launch in Utah then roll out to other states.

Big Big Thx for this Movie
Ive never watched an old Movie like this but i was surprised how soft the english was to understand. These days its hard to understand American English for me.

Dirrell: I'll be smarter
By Rob Hough
Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KOs) admitted that Carl Froch's tactics affected him in their fight, which Froch won by split-decision, and promised to be more disciplined against Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KOs) on March 27 in their Super Six World Boxing Classic Stage 2 match-up.
"Froch using dirty tactics, that threw me off my game plan," Dirrell said Thursday on a teleconference to discuss the fight, which was moved from March 6, and from Palm Springs, Calif., to Detroit, Mich., because Dirrell tweaked his back. "I clinched too much. I could have fought more inside and not complained to the referee. I'll be more focused and more determined this time. I'm training a lot smarter."
Before the Froch fight, the Flint, Mich., resident talked enough trash to sink a barge, but it's smooth sailing now.
"Froch said some things that bothered me and I felt like I had to stand up to that," Dirrell said. "I respect Arthur Abraham a lot more than I respect Carl Froch."
Abraham, ever calm, said the change in date and location won't affect him. The Armenian-born resident of Germany was training in Palm Springs and flew home after the fight was postponed.
"We're athletes so we don't have problems with this," he said, speaking through an interpreter. "It's all a question of attitude and there's no problem with that. I've never had a problem with jetlag so everything will be fine."

Nokia's Fall Means The Rise Of Startups In Finland
The Finnish economy, which has contracted for three years in a row, is still reeling, but the country's rising startup scene is a careful indication that Finland – the land of a thousand lakes and talented engineers – is on its way up. Read More

Microsoft Will Never Give Up On Mobile
When Microsoft announced its wrenching $7.6 billion write-down last week, it was easy to presume that the company was giving up on mobile. At the very least, the financial avalanche sent a strong signal that Windows phone in its current guise has failed in a major way. Read More

Electrovibration: Bringing Tactile Back
Only the most committed Luddites truly mourned the demise of the feature phone. Compare Nokia's classic 3210 with the latest iPhone and you'd have to be metabolizing a terminal dose of nostalgia to claim the former was the better device. But there's one aspect of those old 90s handsets that is objectively better than modern touchscreen devices: the buttons. Read More

Nokia Acquisition Talks With Alcatel-Lucent Could Be About 5G
Nokia confirmed today it was in talks to buy Alcatel-Lucent and the underlying reason just might be the latter's 5G patent stash.

Looking For 5G Nobody has actually built a 5G network yet, but there is a lot of… Read More
After A 15-Month Hiatus, Nokia's Here Mapping App Finds Its Way Back To iOS

Windows Phone 8.1 Finally Breaks The 50% Market Share Threshold
Windows Phone 8.1 accounted for more than 50 percent of all Windows Phone usage in November. It closed October with 46.7 percent of the market.

The nSoft Consortium
nSoft is a NIST-led consortium of industrial, government, and academic members designed to further the NIST mission to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science and reducing barriers for industrial research programs at peer-review based user facilities. The inherent roadblocks of peer reviewed user facilities to industrial research programs are well documented.[1] Notable roadblocks include a lack of predictable and timely access, disparate research priorities between the broader scientific community and manufacturing, and the high cost of entry for institutions without existing expertise. Based on these identified roadblocks, the need for a new model of industrial engagement for user facilities is clear.
The nSoft Consortium operates in a new model of access for industrial research programs to federally funded research facilities such as the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). This model is being applied to collaboratively develop neutron-based measurement solutions for manufacturers of soft materials. Through engagement of its members in the planning, development, and execution of research programs, nSoft is providing (1) predictable and timely access to neutron facilities, (2) research and development programs focused on high impact issues in soft materials manufacturing, and (3) increased scientific capacity through training programs and collaborative activities. The consortium is led by the NIST Materials Science and Engineering Division, featuring a long history of service to the U.S. economy through advanced characterizations of materials, and the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), a world leading neutron facility.

April 17, 2009
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The sixth-ranked University of Tennessee women, competing against Alabama, Ohio State and Carson-Newman, won three of six events Friday on the first day of the 46th annual Volunteer Track Classic at UT's Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium.
Senior pole vaulter Alicia Essex won for the second straight weekend and carded her fourth career outdoor victory with a clearance of 12 feet, 11 1/2 inches. For the second time in seven days she also went for the school record, but she missed on her three tries at 13-8. The UT record of 13-7 3/4 still belongs to Jessica Reust. Essex's Sea Rays mark of 13-7 1/4 remains No. 2 in school history.
Sophomore Annie Alexander picked up Tennessee's first triumph of the day, winning the shot put by nearly four feet with a heave of 52-10 3/4. It was her fourth career outdoor shot victory and her second in as many weeks, as well, following her Sea Ray Relays win. Freshmen Laquoya Kelly and Akeela Bravo placed third and sixth, respectively, with top measurements of 43-8 and 38-2.
Utilizing three-fourths of their world-record distance medley relay lineup the Lady Vols also won the 4x800m relay. The quartet of freshman Chanelle Price, senior Rolanda Bell, senior Sarah Bowman and junior Phoebe Wright covered the distance in 8:52.79.
In the first event of the meet, the hammer throw, Kelly charted the Big Orange's longest mark. Her career-best effort of 157-1 was good for third place. Sophomore Holly Kane, a product of Karns High School, was sixth at 142-2, while freshmen Bravo and Christine Coppola placed seventh and ninth, respectively, at 141-3 and 135-8.
"We are looking good and sharpening up for next weekend's meets in Philadelphia (Penn Relays) and California (UCSD Triton Inv. for throwers)," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "It's just a nice home meet to get some good work in, and I think we are doing just that.
"We're going to run hard tomorrow and focus on execution in some of the throws and jumps. We look forward to getting some more work in, and hopefully the weather will cooperate with us this weekend. So far, so good."
In the other three events on Friday, Alabama's Angelica Howard won the hammer throw at 197-5, Ohio State's Alison Roquet took the triple jump with a leap of 34-9 and Ohio State's Jordan Jennewine claimed the 3000-meter run title in 9:44.32. Lady Vol junior Michele Levy and freshman Elizabeth Tiller finished sixth and eighth, respectively, in the 3K with times of 10:46.86 and 11:29.72, respectively. The 3000m steeplechase, which was supposed to be the first college race of the day, was cancelled due to a lack of entries.
Saturday's collegiate action gets underway at 10:30 a.m. with the 400m hurdles and concludes around 4:35 p.m. with the 4x400m relay. Those are just two of the 13 events that the Lady Vols will be entered in on the final day.

If it's an every day CCW, weekly. If it's a weekly CCW, then monthly. If it sees a lot of time, relatively, in a range bag or safe without being used, then depending on your local weather (relative humidity mostly), once every 3 months is what I do.
I tend to keep the little desicant packets that come in shoe boxes and electronic equipment and so on, and just toss them into the bottom of my safe. They seem to , IMO, help out the regular safe desicant things. They certainly don't seem to hurt anything at all. So for storage weapons, I would say the 3-6 month interval will be fine, again, depending on your local weather conditions. If you are in a coastal area, I would shorten the cleaning intervals accordingly. Damp salty air is the worst thing for ferrous metals to have to contend with now that corrosive primers are all but uncommon.

Facebook buys oculus for $2 Billion
Any interest I had in it is dead now.
Not the best news, that's for sure….
1. It's to expensive for the average buyer.
2. They have to get the consumer market to adapt.
3. It will need more support from Publishers/Developers.
Anyway Facebook probably has more than just games in mind. So time will tell as I have seen allot of hardware touted as the next big thing only to fail in the end. :disappointed:
And that's the end of any chance that ever had of being worthwhile.
Oculus + face-recognition technique already built in into FB = "face recognition to go" or "drive-by face recognition".
I'm certainly not happy about it but I'm also not certain its a death knell for it. It was a 100% buy for me but its now in the wait and see category. At least we have competition now with Sonys.
Isn't Valve working on their own solution as well?
When it comes to face recognition you have to be more concerned about Xbox One and especially Google Glass.
I don't like it either that Facebook now has direct access to this technology. But in fact that's not a big deal. Sooner or later all big (software) companies will have access to all key technologies. That's just a matter of a few years.
I think what Facebook is going to do are social meetings in VR. So you can have a chat with multiple "friends" just like being physically with them.
I wasn't really interested into o.rift at all. It's being developed as a toy, players should finance it more buy buying the unpolished product and eventually it's gonna be used as an army combat simulator.
Thus I don't really see the interest facebook has there, wouldn't they be better with developing something like googleglass of their own? Dunno.
In any case, I'm not buying.
While I'm not thrilled about Facebook grabbing up Oculus, they really did need a company with hugely deep pockets to push them through the interations it requires to take something from cool toy to good+cheap enough for mainstream adoption. The good news is that even if you hate facebook, there's 2-3 other sizable companies working on entrants into this space. That kind of competition at least bodes well.
The only thing I see out of this is avatar "chat room" like in Ghost in the Shell.
Oh and in-game adds right in your face too…
Well, Im not sure how I feel about this one…
But one thing I can say Azarhal is that people from the media who tried it and played things like space combat games were mostly awed. Stating how natural simply looking around and seeing the space ship fly by you and simply angling your head to track it down.
I am still looking forward to see what they make out of this… It was supposed to be fairly inexpensive, heck the dev kit with a pair of VR glasses is 350$…And they hinted that the final product would be a little cheaper.
Not good…
I wish Facebook would just implode.
N.B. I do no understand why people always cap the first letter of my forum nickname. :/
Just saw this on reddit. Simpsons once again predicts the future!
Well it didn't take long for the kickstarter backers to demand their money back.
Link- http://kotaku.com/oculus-kickstarter…nds-1552041702
I wonder what excuse they will use as I don't see it happening though.
It certainly goes against the spirit of crowdfunding no matter what, and it will make people more cautious about backing stuff in the future.
That alone is reason enough to lament this. I had high hopes for the Rift - but I have no idea what this will mean for its future.
All I know is that the concept of the power going to the people and the passion being the driving force has now taken a huge hit - no matter how they spin this with bullshit PR.
I have no doubt this is a blow for future kickstarters especially ones that deal with new hardware. I wonder if new laws need to be made to regulate this from happening.
I'm glad at least Notch saw through the PR you should see all the developers, and journalist writing this is good for everyone. I don't agree with them.:disappointed:
As for this one, I agree on the 'lost any interest' sentiment. Basically, from a revenue perspective it is best to think of companies like Facebook (and Google) as advertising companies - they only make money using YOU as the product, so when they buy a company, it isn't about what they can sell you (selling products isn't their business model), but about how they can entice you to give them more of yourself.

He even quit his party, the NCP, which he had founded along with Sharad Pawar and Tariq Anwar after breaking away from the Congress opposing Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin, in 1999. This he did after the party, which is an ally in the United Progressive Alliance, refused to back him. Sangma also gave up his membership in the Meghalaya assembly.
Sangma's opponent Pranab Mukherjee was the UPA's candidate and the former was backed by the BJP and some other parties. Even in Karnataka, which is led by a BJP government, cross-voting during the presidential poll saw Sangma garnering much less vote than expected.
Sources said Sangma's new party will mostly feature members from the NCP who had backed his presidential candidature. Thirteen NCP MLAs from Meghalaya voted for Sangma in the presidential election, violating the party's stand to back Pranab.
The NIPPI would depend on the support of millions of indigenous people across the region ahead of the assembly elections in three northeastern states of Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura early next year, sources said.
Sangma's son and Opposition leader of Meghalaya Conrad K Sangma, however, said that the state NCP unit did not discuss the formation of a new party.

This is a discussion on How long to order?! within the Dodge Dart Purchasing forums, part of the Dodge Dart Forum - Dodge Dart Discussion category; $500 deposit for me. It's a small dealership, so I can understand the need for it in case someone backs out of the deal....
$500 deposit for me. It's a small dealership, so I can understand the need for it in case someone backs out of the deal.
Ordered 1/10/13
Took Delivery 03/30/13
2013 Dodge Dart Limited Special Edition. 1 OF ONLY 48
Modifications: Click here for my build thread.
I have had my Dart since 12/28 and the VOTS status is still in shipment ... I have already sent my survey in, telling them what I think of their VOTS.
To me giving them a deposit seems like just another tactic for them to bully you into something you don't want. They don't need the deposit because it costs them nothing to order the car and if you don't want the car after it arrives then they just sell it as usual.
Thanks guys
GT, R/T, Either way my garage is still MT.
my car guy said shipment is on jan 20th and that was the 4th of Jan. Have not heard anything from VOTS. I want my car so bad!
well got some news. My salesman said on jan 4th if would be shipped Jan 20th. Didnt get an email from VOTS till yesterday saying it just got finished painted. Guess it wont be here till beg of Feb! UGHHHH

It's possible. I know a large number of people were aware that the second word didn't matter and they just put crap in. Thus, only part of the total CAPTCHA's were really transcribed for them. The others will be thrown out.
Thank you for the chance at $100. Please choose a different system for next year. I know no system is perfect, but this was a terrible choice.
Yeah I tried that last year. Didn't work out so well for me. I spent about an hour and a half trying to get onto their site from my cell and got nowhere.
Question - are you going to restrict to one gift per IP? I've got a few coworkers that I've told about this and we'll all likely be trying to get through.
Would there be any issue in using this in conjunction with http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10161? I would be taking the output 3.7v on the charger and into this.
Man… I am jealous of all you guys that are close enough to actually check this place out.

Canadian goldbug stakes his name on McEwen Mining
By Pav Jordan
TORONTO (Reuters) - Rob McEwen, the Canadian investor who founded the world's second-largest gold producer, is putting his name on the line with his latest precious-metal venture, aiming to build his McEwen Mining into an S&P 500 company within a few years.
McEwen's new investment vehicle is a midtier gold and silver miner formed through the combination of two other companies he leads, U.S. Gold Corp UXG.TO and Minera Andes MAI.TO.
U.S. Gold acquired Minera Andes in an all-stock deal announced in June. The enlarged company, now called McEwen Mining, is due to list in Toronto and New York on Friday with a market capitalization of some $1.3 billion.
McEwen, who helped turn Goldcorp into an industry powerhouse in the 1990s before cutting ties, has set a goal of nearly quadrupling the value of his new company to $5 billion by 2015.
"Going out with this (company) is to see if lightning can strike twice, and I guess I've upped the ante because I do have a large personal stake in the company, and, my name is on it," the Toronto-based investor said in a interview. "So I can't just go to sleep and forget about it."
In an industry where swagger and substance come in equal portions, such lofty ambitions might not carry as much weight coming from someone with a lesser reputation than McEwen's.
McEwen, a 62-year-old Canadian who came to mining from the investment industry, has a knack for making maverick bets pay off.
In 2002, when he was running GoldCorp, instead of selling all of the company's gold into the market at prices near 20-year lows, he decided to hold on to a portion. Continued...

Section 106: Effect of certain Northern Irish orders and provisions
260.Section 106 provides in subsection (1) for an adoption order or an interim adoption order made in Northern Ireland to have effect in England and Wales. Subsection (2) provides that a freeing order made in Northern Ireland, or the variation or revocation of such a freeing order be given the same effect in England or Wales as it has in Northern Ireland. Subsection (3) makes the same provision as section 105(3) in respect of the parallel provision in the Adoption (Northern Ireland) Order 1987 on restrictions on removal of a child where an adoption order is agreed or an applicant for adoption has provided a home (Articles 28 and 29 of the Adoption (Northern Ireland) Order 1987). Similarly subsection (4) allows for orders made under Article 30 of the Adoption (Northern Ireland) Order 1987 to return or not to remove a child to have effect in England and Wales as if they were orders of the High Court.

Install Limestone Flooring Tips
The timeless look that the limestone tiles promise, may not be achieved by using any other type of flooring. Their visual appeal justifies the cost of the limestone flooring. Almost all the dealers of limestone tiles, offer tiles in a variety of natural shades, so you will surely find a shade that complements your room. The limestone flooring is easy to clean, and is durable (if you install them right!).
Before you start with the installation, there is something that you should know, limestone tiles are heavy, and it will not be easy to install them (especially if you have no experience). So, first decide whether you really want to do it yourself, or hire a professional. When you are sure that you do not want any professional help, you can begin, but see that you complete the installation.
Installing the Limestone Flooring
It is not going to be easy, but if you are focused, you will surely get the desired result. After you are done clearing out all the furniture in your room, and removing the existing tiles (if any), here are the steps that you should follow:
You Need Measure the Room
Several Ways to Eco-friendly Flooring for Your Home
When choosing tiles for bathrooms, go for matte tiles rather than glossy ones. This is because the fear of slipping is more in such places. If you want a shiny tile, apply a coat of no-slip solution on it.
Having a beautiful and stylish home without harming the environment is amazing, right?, With the abundance of green products available in the market, using eco-friendly products is the ideal way. These products are made from sustainable, recycled, and non-toxic materials. Eco-friendly options don't cost more than normal options either. In fact, they give you more benefits in the same price. You can be proud that you are not damaging the environment. Flooring is the best place to start your green remodel. We have come up with some eco-friendly flooring options so that you can flaunt these with style.

Goodbye 2012, Hello Hot Auto Deals
Tue., Dec. 4, 2012
Smart shoppers can take advantage of deep discounts on select new cars and trucks as the end of the calendar year approaches.
Shopping is regarded as something of a recreational sport this time of the year, from the initial rush of Black Friday, to last-minute holiday madness and clearance sales the final week in December. While many of us are caught up finding the best deals on everything from tablet computers and diamond earrings to laughing Elmo dolls and Chia Pets, experts advise that this is also the best time of the year to garner the deepest discounts on a new car or truck.
"Automakers are offering some of their highest incentives, particularly on last year's models and excess inventory, and dealers are motivated to reach specific year-end sales objectives set by the manufacturers." says Jesse Toprak, vice-president of industry trends for the new-car-buying website TrueCar.com. Plus, automakers advertise extensively to help bring shoppers into dealerships, and everyone involved wants to ensure those promotional dollars turn into sales.
While Toprak says the week between Christmas and New Year's Day is usually the period in which car shoppers can strike some of the sweetest deals on closeout models, he cautions that those waiting until the last minute might find what's remaining in a dealer's inventory to be lacking. "There's usually a reason why some cars have been sitting on the lot for months," he says. "They're kind of like the fruit at the bottom of the basket at the supermarket - what remains in stock could be in odd colors or undesirably equipped."
And at that, Toprak cautions, don't expect new-car dealers to revoke the laws of supply and demand just because the calendar reads December 31. Shoppers can expect unpopular and overstocked models to be offered with the deepest discounts, while the hottest-selling rides may still command at or close to sticker price.
Based on this year's sales trends, we can expect large sedans and full-size SUVs and pickups will continue to boast both the deepest dealer discounts and the largest manufacturers' incentives. For example, in November, Ford was selling the full-size Taurus sedan with a $3,000 cash rebate, while Nissan was offering $2,000 cash back on the 2013 version of its full-size Armada SUV and $4,000 on the nearly-identical 2012 models. Chevrolet meanwhile was tempting truck buyers with $4,500 rebates on the full-size Avalanche pickup.
Compact and subcompact cars, along with small crossover SUVs, which continue to be top-sellers for their low sticker prices and top fuel economy ratings, should be receiving the slimmest discounts, with little or no manufacturers' incentives. Still, we were able to find a few closeout 2012-model small cars being sold with generous rebates, including up to $1,500 on the Kia Forte and $2,000 on the Ford Focus.
We expect automakers to maintain these and other incentives through at least through the end of the year to help dealers clear their inventories and end 2012 sales on a high note.
Based on figures from 2011 provided by TrueCar.com, expect New Year's Eve to afford the best deals of the month, with an estimated average discount of around 9.3 percent below sticker price (running higher or lower given the dealer's supply and the demand for a particular model). The next-best day to go car shopping is said to be December 30, with an anticipated 8.9 percent average discount, followed by the 27th, 28th and 29th, at 8.8, 8.8 and 8.7 percent, and Christmas Eve (December 24, when few patrons tend to come walking through a dealership's door) at 8.7 percent.
Astute shoppers may even get the dealership to throw in one of those oversized bows often seen atop new cars in automakers' holiday sale commercials, just for good measure.

text: So, here I am, just bought my first Cadillac, a 1995 DeVille Concours, 156,500 miles on the clock but running perfect. Picked it up and drove 55 miles at 70 miles an hour back home with no problems, stop at the apartment, pick up the fiancee and drive out to Wal Mart for cat litter. The car was off for maybe an hour by the time we came back out. Started it up and there was a rather overpowering smell of gas. I figured that a carbon filter must need changing so i put it in gear to drive home, the car starts off ok, but ends up bogging down and there isn't any power. Well, make a rather short drive back home, the fiancee is now questioning my reasons for buying the car because as she mildly put it "oh, great, we just dropped $4,000 on a lemon, I hope you're happy!", yay, we've had the car for maybe two hours and not only is the car acting up but I am going to be sleeping on the couch...Fast forward to this morning, wake up on couch, go out to car, and pop the hood, mmmm, nothing like the smell of gas in the morning, and there is a small wet spot under the throttle body. Pull off the air box and the plenum and wipe off the spot, then turn the key and prime the ignition. I get a loud clicking noise and there is more gas coming from somewhere under the throttle body, so turn off the key, clicking continues, more wonderful gas smell. So, what is going on? I am going to clean the deposits out of the TB, but could it get clogged enough to leak? Or am I going to look forward to buying a new TB/Fuel line? I'm going to keep this car for a while, but if it's going to take a lot of time and money, under the hood I don't think the significant other is going to let me into bed for a while and it gets kinda cold on the couch!

A report from a Ship's Master?
It is with regret and haste that I write to you, regret that such a small misunderstanding could lead to the following circumstances, and haste in order that you get this report before you form your own pre-conceived opinions from reports in the world press, for I am sure they will tend to over-dramatise the affair.
We had just picked up the pilot, and the apprentice had returned from changing the "G" flag for an "H" and, it being his first trip was having difficulty in rolling up the "G" flag. I therefore proceeded to show him how. Coming to the last part, I told him to "let go", the lad although willing, is not too bright, necessitating my having to repeat the order in a sharper tone. At this moment the Chief Officer appeared from the chart room, having been plotting the vessel's progress, and, thinking that it was the anchors that were being referred to repeated the "let go" to the Third Officer on the forecastle. The port anchor, having being cleared away but not walked out was promptly let go. The effect of letting the anchor drop from the "pipe" whilst the vessel was proceeding at full harbour speed proved too much for the windlass brake, and the entire length of the port cable was pulled out by the roots. I fear that the damage to the chain locker may be extensive. The braking effect of the port anchor naturally caused the vessel to sheer in that direction, right towards the swing bridge that spans the tributary to the river up which we were proceeding.
The swing bridge operator showed great presence of mind by opening the bridge for my vessel. Unfortunately, he did not think to stop the vehicular traffic, the result being that the bridge partly opened and deposited a Volkswagen, two cyclists and a cattle truck on my foredeck. My ship's company are at present rounding up the contents of the latter which from the noise I would say were pigs. In his efforts to stop the progress of the vessel the Third Officer dropped the starboard anchor, too late to be of practical use for it fell on the swing bridge operators cabin.
After the port anchor was let go and the vessel began to sheer, I gave a double full astern on the engine room telegraph and personally rang the engine room to order maximum astern revolutions. I was informed that the sea temperature was 53 and asked if there was a film tonight, my reply would not be constructive to this report.
Up to now I have confined my report to the activities at the forward end of the vessel. Down aft they were having their own problems. At the moment the port anchor was let go, the Second Officer was supervising the making fast of the after tug and was lowering the ship's towing line down onto the tug. The sudden braking effect of the port anchor caused the tug to run in under the stern of my vessel, just at the moment when the propeller was answering my double ring "Full Astern". The prompt action of the Second Officer in securing the inboard end of the towing line delayed the sinking of the tug by some minutes thereby allowing the safe abandonment of that vessel.
It is strange but at the very same moment of letting go the port anchor there was a power cut ashore. The fact that we were passing over a "Cable Area" at the time might suggest that we may have touched something on the river bed. It is perhaps lucky that the high power cables brought down by the foremast were not live, possibly being replaced by the underwater cable, but owing to the shore black out it is impossible to say where the pylon fell.
It never fails to amaze me, the actions and behaviour of foreigners during moments of minor crisis. The pilot, for instance is at this moment huddled in the corner of my day cabin, alternately crooning to himself and crying after having consumed a bottle of gin in a time that is worthy of inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records. The tug captain on the other hand reacted violently and had to be forcibly restrained by the Steward who has him handcuffed in the ship's hospital, where he is telling me to do impossible things with my ship and crew.
I enclose the names and addresses of the drivers of the vehicles on my fore deck, which the third officer collected after his somewhat hurried evacuation of the forecastle. These particulars will enable you to claim for the damage they did to the railings of No. 1 hold. I am enclosing this as a preliminary report as I am finding it difficult to concentrate with the sound of police sirens and their flashing lights.
It is sad to think that had the apprentice realised that there is no need to fly pilot flags after dark, none of this would have happened.
Yours truly.
Captain Anonymous.
Several comedy films or radio comedy come to mind when reading this such as the Navy Lark from the radio(shows my age)or an Inspector Jacques Closeau character giving a report with a dead pan face as all hell is breaking loose around him!!. Very funny John. David
Nice to read this report again. It always amuses. Thanks
I think that I have sailed with that Master!!!!!!!!!!
gave me a good chuckle. nice one mate
"Imagination is more important than knowledge". A. Einstein.
LOL, cheered me up on a very dull morning. Thank you.
Were you the Sydney Harbour Master that sat me for my local Knowledge certificate in 1986? and if so i would be hoisting the #1 pennant and heading for sea with out a ship after that story if i was the apprentice.
Cheers Captain
My wife nearly choked on her Cornflakes when she read this. Many thanks................pete
As I was Harbour Master from 85 to 91 I must be the culprit. Must have been O.K. though as I haven't heard of too many ferries going crunch on the rocks over the years.
Best wishes
My mailwasher has just deleted an email which started off "Hello John Briggs". I didn't read any more as I thought it would be on this site and now I cant get at it. Would the sender be kind enough to resend & I promise not to delete it this time.
I'd like to see the reply from the insurance company.
The bit about the livestock waggon could explain the expression "Pigs might fly."

Green Bay Survives in OT to Win League-Opener at Cleveland State
CLEVELAND, Ohio. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Trevor Anderson knocked down a key free throw with 5.8 seconds left in overtime to give Green Bay the 76-75 victory on the road at Cleveland State on Thursday night, giving his team a 1-0 start in Horizon League play to start the season.
Anderson lost control of the ball while looking to attack, regained control and was fouled by Rob Edwards with 5.8 seconds left in the overtime period. Anderson converted the first free throw before missing the second. Cleveland State (4-9, 0-1 HL) then pushed the ball up court, but after Edwards kicked it to the corner the time ran out and Green Bay made it a perfect three-for-three in overtime games this season.
In his first ever game coming off the bench for the Phoenix, Charles Cooper scored a team-high 19 points, including three big free throws in overtime. Kerem Kanter recorded his second-straight double double, notching 11 points and 14 rebounds after once again receiving the start from head coach Linc Darner.
The Phoenix defense held Cleveland State to 3-for-11 shooting in the overtime period and forced 20 turnovers in the game. Turner Botz knocked down four 3s in the game, going 4-for-8 from deep in the game.
Green Bay trailed by as many as 13 points in the game, but hung around before taking its first lead in the second half.

Fraccional laser done in the proper way is very safe and the effect will be only at the superficial skin level, your implant should be located deeper in the subcutaneous tissue. However any laser has the potential to create problems. My recommendation to you: check the doctor credentials and expertise. At least the Doctor needs to examine you and be prepared in case of problems.
Good luck.
