One juvenile has been arrested and charged after surveillance video captured someone placing an explosive device inside a mailbox on Loudon Heights Road over the weekend.
Sgt. Tony Hazelett said the juvenile was arrested Monday evening and charged with criminal use of a destructive device. Hazelett declined to say whether the juvenile was a male or female and/or how old he or she is.
In the early-morning hours on Saturday, a four-door Jeep Wrangler pulled up to a mailbox at 1810 Loudon Heights Road. It appears, from video taken by a surveillance camera at the home, that two white males were inside the Jeep.
They placed a device inside the box, according to a news release. On the video, the passenger hands the driver a lighter and the driver lights the device. A few minutes later, there is an explosion followed by a second, larger explosion, according to the release. Police do not yet know what type of device was used.
The homeowner uploaded the surveillance video to YouTube in hopes of identifying the suspects.
The home is owned by Richard Rashid and his wife, Jane. The Rashids' children, Sydney, LeRoy and George were at the residence Monday. Sydney Rashid, 14, said she believes the incident was a prank and isn't fearing for her safety.
"We just think it's some crazy kids," Sydney Rashid said.
The explosion destroyed the mailbox and scattered pieces over their yard, she said, and some pieces went onto their porch. She doesn't believe her home was targeted for any particular reason, only that the mailbox is secluded and the home's security cameras are disguised by trees.
"I guess they thought they could get away with it," she said.
Her family is related to Dr. Mitchell Rashid and Kamilla L. Rashid, the owners of Top-O-Rock, Charleston's iconic glass house. Earlier this month, that house was found vandalized with entire windowpanes shattered and graffiti sprayed inside.
Sydney Rashid doesn't believe that vandalism is connected to the device left inside her family's mailbox. "He's my uncle, and we don't have anything to do with that house," she said.
Hazelett said police expect more people will faces charges related to the incident.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Charleston Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division at 304-348-6480.

(Un)appetizing apps
"How did I ever live without the iPhone?"
I'm kind of embarrassed to admit how many times I've asked myself that since getting an iPhone last September.
I never thought I would be one of those techie people who hugged and loved their electronic devices and called them George, if you know what I mean. I don't think I'm quite there yet, but I really love my iPhone.
One of my favorite things to do is look up new apps. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit how much time I've wasted browsing through the App Store.
Now y'all know (or if you don't, you should) that I love cooking. Love it, love it, love it. Sometimes I secretly dream of going to culinary school. I guess that ain't a secret no more, but whatever. Anyway, I'm all into the foodie apps in the App Store. I downloaded one last week that was particularly enjoyable.
But not for the reason you might think.
The app is called Allrecipes.com Dinner Spinner. One of its main features is that it lets your "spin" or shake your iPhone to get a random selection of dishes and ingredients. They target this feature to people who aren't quite sure what they want to eat. I think they should target it to twenty-something female college students who love to cook more than they love to do homework.
Or maybe not. That advertising strategy might only work on me. Just a guess.
Still, I was thoroughly entertained the other night by the variety of combinations I got by shaking my iPhone. Some sounded good. Some were… well, interesting. See for yourself.
I can't make fish dessert recipes in my slow cooker? Sad day! I really wanted that salmon peach cobbler.
There were also normal recipes for main dishes with fish like baked salmon and tilapia. (But still no salmon peach cobbler.)
These were the recipes that turned up for cookies with some sort of fruit ingredient. Here's my question… what in tarnation is a hootycreek? Sounds like something we probably have in Arkansas.
Ask and ye shall receive. A hootycreek is a beautifully festive cookie in a jar recipe that makes a great gift. My life is better for knowing this.
The app has plenty of recipes for main dishes with chicken.
But none for chicken beverages.
Or chicken cookies.
I'm sad. I wanted all of those things. (I kid. I kid. It just makes the app more funny if I pretend to be hurt by its lack of ridiculous recipes. Ha.)
And on that note, I'm off to go concoct a recipe for salmon peach cobbler in the slow cooker!

A United Nations expert has warned the current unrest in the Central African Republic puts the country at a "high risk" of genocide. UN envoys, meanwhile, have urged a stronger military mission there.
More than half of the country's 4.6 million people are in need of assistance and almost 1 million have been forced to flee their homes since the mostly-Muslim rebels ousted President Francois Bozize in a March coup. The unrest has sparked a period of unprecedented religious violence between Muslims and Christians in one of the world's poorest nations.
"The level of hatred between these communities shocked me," Dieng said, adding there were reports of summary executions, mutilation and sexual violence among the "widespread and massive" human rights violations.
'Unprecedented' child brutality
"The impact of the conflict on children has been dramatic with unprecedented levels of brutality," said the UN's envoy for children and armed conflict, Leila Zerrougui. "Children have been directly attacked, maimed, killed and beheaded."
She added that as many of 6,000 children may be part of armed groups.
"They have been manipulated by both sides and divided along religious lines," said Zerrougui.
Restoring peace will be difficult "without addressing the current culture of impunity," said Dieng.
Assistance urged
Dieng said the current size of the African force, known as MISCA, is not large enough to deal with the problem. Only around 4,000 of the promised 6,000 African troops have been deployed, mostly in the capital Bangui.
"There is an urgent need for the full deployment of MISCA peacekeepers as soon as possible."
The UN officials did, however, welcome the recent European Union approval of around 500 troops to assist the approximately 1,600 French soldiers, as well as African troops, currently fighting in the country.
The UN does not currently have a peacekeeping force in the Central African Republic. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is slated to report next month on potentially transforming the international troops currently fighting in the country into a peacekeeping force within six months.

Have you used David's tool? Entry of search terms in the tool
cause your default web browser to launch and send a query to
Wolfram|Alpha. And the tool only allows one search at a time to
be done. The only thing David's tool does is create a convenient
means to start a query while using Mathematica. From the
perspective of the Wolfram|Alpha server's the result is
identical to a human entering a single query in a conventional
web browser.
Consequently, it is far from obvious this is against the terms
of use. And since the query sent to the server is identical in
both cases, there is no way to Wolfram to distinguish between
the two cases.

THIRD ROUND (71st OVERALL PICK)
With the 71st pick in the NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select DE Chris Gocong.
Full Name: Chris Gocong School: Cal-Poly Pos: DE
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 263 40: 4.79 Year: 5Sr
Bio: Three-year starter awarded the Buck Buchanan Trophy last year, given to the nation's top Division I-AA defender. Finished his senior campaign with 98/31/23.5 after totals of 71/21.5/17.5 as a junior.
Pos: Tenacious, instinctive ballplayer consistently making plays behind the line of scrimmage. Displays tremendous speed, quickness and force off the edge. Plays with excellent pad level and fast in any direction of the field. Immediately changes direction and makes tackles in pursuit.
Neg: Lacks size and bulk, and can be handled at the point by a single blocker. Takes a lot of wide angles around linemen.
Analysis: A team player who leads by example, Gocong has potential as a situational pass rusher or linebacker in the 34 defense at the next level. Tenacity and passion for the game should make him a special teams demon.
WARNEST.COM ANALYSIS: Gocong is going to be an interesting player to watch. The Eagles are going to move him to the strong side linebacker position and both the team and Gocong are positive that will work out. "I think I can make a great transition to that. The way we ran our defense at Cal Poly, I am not a straight up DE. I play a lot of stand up and even though I have never pass dropped, I think I am athletic enough to transition into it," said Gocong. The Eagles thought about higher profile, true linebackers like Chad Greenway and Ernie Sims to play on the strong-side, but bypassed them to get Brodrick Bunkley and Winston Justice, neither of whom the Eagles could pass up. The like Gocong a lot and traded up to get him. Depending on how easily he takes to his new position, Dhani Jones should be at least a little worried. And if it doesn't work out, the Eagles know Gocong can help at defensive end, so it's a win-win situation.
SECOND ROUND (45th OVERALL PICK)
With the 45th pick in the NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select OT Winston Justice
Full Name: Winston Justice School: USC Pos: T
Ht: 6-6 Wt: 319 40: 5.15 Year: 4Jr
Bio: Moved into the starting lineup as a true freshman, then awarded All-Conference honors as a sophomore and junior. Suspended in '04 season after a student conduct violation.
Pos: Athletic, versatile blocker who can be used at left or right tackle. Strong at the point, seals defenders from the action and pounds them into the turf when the opportunity arises. Fights with his hands, can adjust and easily anchors at the point. Controls opponents or turns them off the line once engaged in a block.
Neg: Not explosive off the snap into run blocks. Had several off-the-field incidents. Interviewed poorly at the combine.
Analysis: Combining size, strength and athleticism, Justice offers terrific upside potential for the next level. If he keeps his focus on the football field, he should only get better as he physically matures through the years.
WARNEST.COM ANALYSIS: For the Eagles to have gotten both Bunkley and Justice is a definite coup. Either of them could have been chosen with the 14th pick and the Eagles would have been considered lucky. Instead, they come away with both. Andy Reid was justified that Justice's off-the-field problems were simply the cause of youthful indiscretion. Andy Reid did a lot of personal work to find out about Justice and was satisfied with the results. Andy Reid admitted that the Eagles actually tried to move even a little higher than number 39 to get Justice and that had Bunkley been gone, they would have even taken him at number 14.
FIRST ROUND (14th OVERALL PICK)
With the 14th pick in the NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select: DT Brodrick Bunkley
Full Name: Brodrick Bunkley School: Florida State Pos: DT
Ht: 6-2.5 Wt: 306 40: 5.00 Year: 4Sr
Bio: Two-year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a senior after 66/25/9. Junior totals included 12/3/1 when he played with a high ankle sprain.
Pos: Explosive interior lineman who can be used at defensive tackle or on the nose. Displays tremendous first-step quickness, plays with leverage and has a nasty attitude. Tough to handle and was consistently doubled by opponents. Keeps his feet driving up the field, has a burst of speed and is quick closing on the play.
Neg: Must use his hands better and develop more moves. Has a history of knee
Analysis: Ever-improving the past two seasons, Bunkley is a terrific one-gap lineman who can be used in different schemes. Elevated his draft stock significantly at the Senior Bowl and is now a first-round pick.
WARNEST.COM ANALYSIS: This is the guy that the Eagles wanted out of the first round. They thought they may have to trade up to get him, but as he fell through the 8 and 9 picks, the Eagles started to realize that he could fall all the way to them and took their chances. It worked out perfectly, since they got the man they wanted to get without having to give up an extra pick or a player.

Candidates for the Redskins Coaching Vacancy
The coaching carousel continues in Washington and Losenoidoomock. As Joe Gibbs departs the coaching ranks from the Redskins organization again, little has been mentioned about the existing coaching staff. What will happen to Bugel, Breaux, and Ernest Byner? So much has already been discussed about who might succeed Gibbs and who might be cajoled to come out of retirement such as Cowher, but has anyone asked about a general manager? No one has discussed replacing the decisions made by GM Gibbs.
When the Redskins think about a successor to Gibbs it's also important to think about the team and its players. The players have expressed their support in their nod to Greg Williams Jason Campbell has been through countless offensive systems in college and professional levels. Assuming that Saunders would like to continue coaching in Washington it would be critical to not hinder Campbell's growth by making him and the team which has made such great strides learn a new system.
It appeared that Saunders wasn't interested in becoming a head coach and just implements his system to great success. If indeed Saunders doesn't wish to become head coach, then it makes great sense to retain him and continue the continuity developed by the team this year. For more information: wicked tickets new york city.
Candidates for Redskins Coaching Vacancy - ESPN.
The List:
Jason Garrett - Hmm...a budding QB that's pro bowl bound, a running back with a bevy of touchdowns, a future hall of fame wide receiver, a talented secondary wide receiver, a strong offensive line, and a pro bowl tight end. This all sounds very familiar. The last Dallas coach to become the Redskins Head Coach devastated the organization and almost brought it to its knees. Let's pass on this prospective coach.
Rex Ryan - Why replace the current defensive coordinator with someone else's and make Ryan the head coach? Have the Skins learned nothing about taking someone from within when possible.? This move would make no sense.
Brian Billick - Does Stover come with him, because that seemed to be his offense and Billick never medaled much with the defense as a coach.
Russ Grimm - This choice would be the most intriguing. It would become even more interesting if Williams becomes head coach and Grimm joins the offensive staff depending upon other's departures.
Bill Cowher - A great coach, but would breaking everything that Gibbs put back together be worth breaking the chemistry and continuity of the staff, system, and players?

The gold price opened in positive territory at 6 p.m. EST in New York on Sunday night---and then, starting at 9 a.m. Hong Kong time on their Monday morning, the price jumped through the $1,330 mark only to run into a wall of selling that prevented it from rallying any further. Volume was well over 20,000 contracts by lunchtime in Hong Kong---and well over 30,000 contracts by the London open. It was obvious that JPMorgan et al were waiting for the Sunday night open of the Globex trading system just as eagerly as I was.
The low after the smack-down in Hong Kong, such as it was, came shortly after trading began in London. The price developed a positive bias after that, but never broke above the $1,330 price mark again---and with New York closed for the day, Globex trading ended at 1:15 p.m. EST.
The high tick at the price spike in Hong Kong trading was recorded at $1,332.40 in the April contract.
Gold 'closed' yesterday at the $1,329.00 spot mark---and up $9.90 from Friday's close. Gross volume was around 57,000 contracts, with well over half of that occurred before the London open.
It was almost the same story in silver during the Hong Kong trading session---and at the high tick, silver was up almost 50 cents from Friday's close, but once London opened, silver got sold back down to within a dime of Friday's close, only to gain 20 cents shortly before 1 p.m. GMT---and then as the price headed back towards the $22 spot market, it got tapped back down at precisely 11:30 a.m. EST in Globex trading.
The CME Group recorded the high tick on Monday morning in Hong Kong at $21.97 in the March contract.
Silver closed at $21.84 on Monday---up 33.5 cents from Friday's close. Net volume was a bit under 25,000 contracts and, like gold, half of it was used to snuff out the 9 a.m. rally in Hong Kong.
Silver, like gold, would have finished materially higher if allowed to do so, which it obviously wasn't.
Platinum and palladium had tiny rallies in the early going on Sunday night in New York. Both managed to finish in positive territory, but only just. It's a good bet that the volume was very light---and the market very illiquid. Here are the charts.
The dollar index closed late on Friday afternoon in New York at 80.14---and began to head lower the moment that trading began in New York on Sunday evening. The low of 79.95 which, just glancing at the 3-day chart below, occurred around 9 a.m. Hong Kong time, appeared to come at the precise moment when gold and silver price took off to the upside.
The subsequent rally in the dollar index had it back to unchanged by shortly after 12 o'clock noon in London---and from there it proceeded to chop sideways in a very tight range for the remainder of the Monday session. The index closed basically flat at 80.13. Here's the 3-day chart.
With the equity markets in New York closed for President's Day on Monday, there were no HUI or Silver Sentiment Index charts. Canada's markets were closed for Family Day.
Also there was no Daily Delivery Report from the CME Group, nothing from GLD and SLV, the U.S. Mint---or the Comex-approved depositories.
The real reason for a column today is to deal with the backlog of stories accumulated over the weekend---and I do have quite a few.
Soros Fund Management has doubled up a bet that the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX is headed for a fall.
Within Friday's 13F filings news was the revelation that the firm, founded by legendary investor George Soros, increased a put position on the S&P 500 ETF, /quotes/zigman/714403/delayed /quotes/nls/spy SPY, by a whopping 154% in the fourth quarter, compared with the third. (A put or short position basically gives the owner the right to sell a security at a set price for a limited time, and in making such a bet, an investor generally believes the security is going to decline.)
The value of that holding, the biggest position in the fund, has risen to $1.3 billion from around $470 million. It now makes up a 11.13% chunk of all reported holdings. It had been cut to 5.14% in the third quarter, from 13.54% in the second quarter, which itself marked another dramatic lift on the bearish call.
This news item appeared on the marketwatch.com Internet site early yesterday morning---and today's first story is courtesy of Joe Kahan.
I've been observing the Wall Street machine in action since my days at Morgan Stanley years ago. The truth is, Wall Street really doesn't need a sophisticated high-tech "Infinity Machine." They're already in a Snowden-style low-tech "Singularity," "accelerating returns" skimming money from 95 million Main Street investors.
Remember, Wall Street has only one goal, make insiders super rich, and shareholders rich. The public interest and the rest of the world are never part of their competitive algorithms. Never.
They achieve their goal with the basic ideas of behavioral-finance geniuses like Richard Thaler, by keeping investors in the dark, dependent, irrational and uninformed. Very simple. Here are 10 of Wall Street's high-tech/low-tech weapons used by their psychological/neuro-scientific/behavioral finance cyber-warriors to control their casinos.

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro announced on Sunday that he had ordered the expulsion of three US consular officials who he accused of conspiring against his government.
Maduro did not identify the officials, but said the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry would give more details later.
"Go and do your (coup) plotting in Washington!" the president roared in a televised address, charging that the US diplomats had met with students involved in anti-government protests.
This very short story was posted on the france24.com Internet site yesterday sometime---and it's worth reading. My thanks go out to Roy Stephens for his first offering of the day.
Britain's fraud agency has started criminal proceedings against three former bankers of Britain's Barclays Plc for the alleged manipulation of Libor interest rates, it said on Monday.
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) said criminal proceedings had started against Peter Charles Johnson, Jonathan James Mathew and Stylianos Contogoulas, alleging they conspired to defraud between June 2005 and August 2007.
Barclays paid $450 million in July 2012 to settle charges it had manipulated Libor interest rates, and several more banks have followed and regulators continue to investigate the scandal.
The above three paragraphs is all there is to this Reuters story that was filed from London early yesterday morning EST---and it's courtesy of reader M.A.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is proposing building up a European communications network to help improve data protection.
It would avoid e-mails and other data automatically passing through the United States.
In her weekly podcast, she said she would raise the issue on Wednesday with French President Francois Hollande.
Revelations of mass surveillance by the US National Security Agency (NSA) have prompted huge concern in Europe.
This article appeared on the bbc.co.uk Internet site on Saturday sometime---and I thank South African reader B.V. for sharing it with us. A similar story showed up on The New York Times website on Sunday. It's headlined Merkel Backs Plan to Keep European Data in Europe---and it's courtesy of Roy Stephens.
While the propaganda surrounding Europe's "recovery" has reached deafening levels, what is going on behind the scenes is quite the opposite, and in the latest example that Europe is increasingly formalizing a regime of implicit capital controls, we learn that Italy has just ordered banks to withhold a 20% tax on all inbound wire transfers: a decree which on to of everything will apply retroactively to February 1. As Il Sole reports, "the deductions will be automatic (unless prior request for exclusion), and then it will be up to the taxpayer to prove that the money is not in the nature of compensation "income." In other words, as of this moment, but really starting two weeks ago, all Italians are money launderers unless proven innocent.
Some more details on Italy's latest decision to limit capital flows into the country, Google translated---
---the collection is the result of the decision to consider any transfer from abroad and directed to an individual Italian, as a component of taxable income, subject to proof to the contrary, which must be date the taxpayer receives the sum on your account. However, the first payments to the Treasury by intermediaries (mainly banks) will be performed July 16, so that the deemed payment accrued from February 1 until June 30 (and therefore set aside and with interest). Next, you will pay the withholding every 16th of the month following the effective perception of the sum. In fact, all taxpayers who receive a transfer from abroad on their personal account - and not professional or business - will be applied to the deduction, as an advance which will then be computed in the annual tax return.
This news item showed up on the Zero Hedge website late Sunday morning EST---and I thank reader M.A. for his second offering in today's column.
Turkey's finance minister knows his country is in the cross-hairs as the US and China tighten the liquidity spigot, viewed by many as the most vulnerable of the big emerging market states, and potentially the detonator of a broader global crisis.
Mehmet Şimşek is a poacher turned game-keeper. He used to work for Merrill Lynch and is a well-known face in London. Indeed, he is a British citizen.
"We are aware it's going to be tough," he said, admitting that the government woke up to a "changed world" last year as US Federal Reserve turned hawkish.
"We are not going to fight the markets because we know we can't win. We'll let the adjustment take place, as it already has with the currency," he said.
This Ambrose Evans-Pritchard commentary was posted on the telegraph.co.uk Internet site very early yesterday morning GMT---and it's another contribution from Roy Stephens.
As we showed over the weekend, it is abundantly clear that for all the talk of reform, Chinese authorities have found the gap between words and deeds uncrossable. First, Chinese authorities bailed out the relatively small CEG#1 Trust (for fear of contagion); second, the PBOC injects CNY 375 bn into short-term repo to save banks from a liquidity crisis at year-end; third, total social financing rose by the largest amount on record in January (despite all the talk of deleveraging following the Plenum); and now, fourth, thanks to a CNY 2bn loan (to an entirely insolvent coal company), Chinese authorities have bailed out a 2nd wealth-management product - this time even smaller.
We noted the "technical default" of Jilin Trust last week, and despite its de minimus size, China Development Bank loaned CNY 2bn to the verge-of-bankruptcy Liansheng coal company, and thus bailed out investors in the trust - piling on the moral hazard.
The Jilin Trust default, as we noted last week, was the second notable 'technical' default among Chinese wealth management products recently and caused consternation among investors.
This longish Zero Hedge piece from yesterday was posted on their Internet site yesterday afternoon EST---and it's the first contribution of the day from Manitoba reader Ulrike Marx. It's worth skimming.

The London Metal Exchange (LME) will expand direct access to data feeds from its electronic trading system, aiming to boost computer-driven trading, the exchange said on Monday.
High-frequency trading on financial markets has spurred controversy and has been blamed for volatile market moves, such as the plunge in shares on Wall Street in 2010, known as the "flash crash". Supporters of such trading say it adds liquidity to markets.
The European Union agreed last month on new curbs on high-speed trading to be implemented by the end of 2016.
Starting on March 24, clients of LME members will be able to plug into a data feed from the LMEselect electronic trading system instead of having to go through third parties, a statement said.
This Reuters story, filed from London, was posted on their Internet site early yesterday morning EST---and it's another offering from Ulrike Marx.
Gold researcher and GATA consultant Koos Jansen muses about U.S. State Department minutes from 1971 showing Secretary of State Henry Kissinger negotiating the devaluation of the dollar with French President Georges Pompidou, with much of the conversation involving the revaluation of gold. Some market analysts believe that Western governments no longer have confidential discussions about rigging the currency markets, dismissing suspicions of that kind of thing as "conspiracy theory." But many State Department records, including those cited tonight by Jansen, show that it is all conspiracy fact.
Jansen's commentary is headlined "The End of Bretton Woods and the Race to the Bottom, 1971" and it's posted at Jansen's Internet site, ingoldwetrust.ch. I thank Chris Powell for wordsmithing all of the above.
China's "unfolding credit crunch" is having an unforeseen and dramatic impact on gold prices as investors urgently stock up on the precious metal as a form of financial protection against a sharp correction in the world's second largest economy.
This is the main reason why gold prices have unexpectedly shot up more than 10pc to breach $1,300 (£776) an ounce for the first time since November against the prevailing forecasts for weaker demand made by many industry experts at the beginning of the year, according to Adrian Ash, head of research at gold trading platform BullionVault.com.
Rebounding is part of the reason for the rise, said Ash, adding: "Gold lost 30pc and silver nearly 40pc last year. The world economy will struggle to deliver all the good news priced in by that crash. But China's unfolding credit-crunch looks central right now."
Well, dear reader, I know you're sick of hearing this, but JPMorgan et al decide when---and to what level---prices rise. Because if they weren't riding shotgun over the precious metal market, they would be sky high by now---and the rest of the world's economic, financial and monetary systems would be a smoulder ruin. This piece showed up on The Telegraph's website on Sunday evening GMT---and I thank Ulrike Marx for sending it along.
Hedge funds raised bullish gold wagers to a three-month high as signs of slowing U.S. economic growth spurred demand for haven assets. Billionaire John Paulson maintained his bullion holdings last quarter.
The net-long position climbed 17 percent to 69,291 futures and options in the week ended Feb. 11, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Long wagers rose 8.8 percent, the most since March. Net-bullish holdings across 18 U.S.-traded commodities rose 18 percent to 1.07 million contracts, the highest since October 2012, led by silver and coffee.
Investors' return to gold after the bear market in 2013 is driving prices to the longest rally since 2011. U.S. factory output unexpectedly fell in January, and emerging-market equities and currencies weakened. Paulson, the biggest owner of the largest exchange-traded product backed by the metal, left his holdings unchanged in the fourth quarter, a government filing showed. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc say the rebound will falter.
This Bloomberg story, filed from New York, was posted on their Internet site sometime yesterday---and I thank reader Ken Hurt for finding it for us.
MineWeb's Lawrence Williams notes the attack by CPM Group's Jeffrey Christian on Sprott Asset Management's John Embry, made Friday on Business News Network in Canada in response to Embry's expression of suspicion on BNN that impairment of the German Bundesbank's gold at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is behind the slow pace of the Bundesbank's gold repatriation.
In his interview on BNN which runs about 10 minutes, Christian expresses confidence that nothing is amiss with Germany's gold and that questions have been raised about it only by people who are trying to scare investors into buying gold.
Certainly, as always, people in the gold sector are "talking their book" here. Embry and the Sprott people are advocates of and investors in the monetary metals, while Christian has described his company as having most central banks as clients, and of course most central banks, even central banks in gold-producing countries, are enemies of gold, gold being an independent and neutral form of money that competes with central bank money and restricts central bank power.
This GATA release from yesterday is a must read---and has lot of embedded links---including the link to Lawrie Williams' commentary. But the first person through the door with the Williams essay at mineweb.com was Ulrike Marx, for which I thank her.
My jaw dropped lower and lower last Thursday as I perused quarterly reports from some of the world's largest gold producers. Many of the results were shockingly bad.
Impairment charges, reserve write-downs, earnings losses, and dividend cuts—no company escaped the fallout from lower gold prices. Some reported bad news on every aspect of their businesses.
But here's the most striking thing: The market didn't care.
It's almost paradoxical—gold stocks rose heartily that day, even those reporting the worst results. GDX (Gold Miners ETF), which consists solely of producers, was up 4.4%. That's not a lack of concern we're seeing; it's outright, almost reckless bullishness.
This commentary by Jeff Clark was posted on the Casey Research website yesterday---and is part of the contents of yesterday's edition of the Casey Daily Dispatch.
This 40-page "Things that make you go hmmm..." commentary by Grant was posted in pdf format on the mauldineconomics.com Internet site yesterday. The precious metals info starts on page 6---and continues through page 18. This is the second offering of the day from Ken Hurt, for which I thank him. It's a large file, so be patient on the download.
Interview with Jim Rickards on bail-ins, market closures, and a detailed look at Yellen, the Fed playbook, and what to look for ahead in terms of QE. He also covers equities and gold views for 2014.
I had to decide whether or not to put this 35-minute interview [from February 11] in the regular stories section, or in the precious metal section---and this it's the latter that won out. I hope you have the time to listen to everything he has to say, but the gold-related stuff starts at, or just after, the 26-minute mark---and that part is definitely worth listening to. I thank Harold Jacobsen for digging this interview up for us.
Gold jewellery exports continued to dive in January, the tenth consecutive monthly fall, with outbound shipments dropping 23 per cent to Rs 2,993 crore.
Besides, gold jewellery exports from April to January fell 44.42 per cent to Rs 33,178 crore from Rs 59,693 crore from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.
This very short story was posted on the Economic Times of India website mid-Monday morning India Standard Time---and once again I thank Ulrike Marx for digging it up for us. It's also the first of five in a row from her.
India will look into relaxing gold imports curbs, but won't let its current account deficit (CAD) balloon, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said on Monday.
"There are pros and cons (on easing gold import curbs), we will weigh them carefully, the goal is to contain the CAD at a level where it can be fully and safely financed," Chidambaram told reporters after presenting the interim budget in parliament earlier.
"The operative word is, we will look into it," he said.
This Reuters story, filed from New Delhi, was posted on their website late yesterday afternoon IST---and I thank Ulrike Marx sending it our way.
India's gold demand remained buoyant in 2013 and rose by 13 per cent to 975 tonnes compared to 2012 despite the Government putting in several restrictions to curb imports, according to a World Gold Council report.
Gold demand in the country was 864 tonnes during 2012, according to data given in the WGC 'Gold Demand Trends 2013' report.
"India's gold demand was up 13 per cent in 2013, compared to 2012. Demand in the second half was lower due to the effect of the supply curbs introduced in that period, but, equally, it was due to households having met a large part of their annual gold requirements in the first half, using the price drop in April as a buying opportunity," WGC Managing Director India Somasundaram PR told PTI here.
This very interesting news item appeared on thehindubusinessline.com website on their Tuesday...and once again my thanks go out to Ulrike Marx for bringing it to our attention.
The world's fresh gold supply fell in 2013 as continued shrinkage in recycling activity modestly outweighed growth in mine production, the World Gold Council reported Tuesday.
The Gold Council report listed total supply last year at 4,339.9 metric tons, down from 4,415.2 tons the year before.
The amount of recycled gold fell to 1,371.4 tons from 1,590.8 in 2012. Mine production climbed to 3,018.6 tons in 2013 from 2,864.10 the year before.
The annual supply of recycled gold declined for the sixth consecutive year to the lowest level since 2008, the WGC said.
I don't find this story, posted on the kitco.com website in the wee hours of this morning EST, particularly surprising---and it's worth reading if you have the time. Once again I thank Ulrike Marx for sending it our way.
While 880.8 tonnes of gold flowed out of exchange traded funds in 2013, according to the World Gold Council's Gold Demand Trends report for the fourth quarter and full year 2013, three quarters of these outflows were absorbed by consumer demand.
This, the WGC says, marks the largest year-on-year increase in consumer demand for the yellow metal since its records began and justifies it calling 2013, the year of the consumer. But, it says, it also reflects a distinct polarisation in sentiment between those institutional funds selling out of ETFs and consumers buying jewellery, bars and coins.
Indeed, it says, "no review of 2013 would be complete without a mention of the unprecedented flow of gold from western vaults to eastern markets, via refiners in North America, Switzerland, and Dubai."
This must read gold-related news item showed up on the mineweb.com Internet site very early this morning. This story is the fifth of five in a row from Ulrike Marx---and her final offering in today's column.
I believe that sudden and massive losses and margin calls of more than $2.5 billion on tens of thousands of short COMEX gold and silver contracts were the specific triggers that killed Bear Stearns. Let's face it – Bear was so leveraged that a sudden demand of more than $2.5 billion in immediate payment for any reason could have put them under. Bear Stearns' excessive gold and silver shorts on the COMEX are the most plausible reason for the sudden demise. Bear Stearns did fail and due to a sudden cash crunch was acquired by JPMorgan for a fraction of what it was worth two months earlier. Bear Stearns was the largest short in COMEX gold and silver at the time. The day of Bear Stearns' demise coincides precisely with the day of the historic high price points in gold and silver. That is also the same day the biggest COMEX gold and silver short would experience maximum loss and a cumulative demand for upwards of $2.5 billion in cash deposits for margin. It was no coincidence the music stopped for Bear Stearns that same day.
Gold prices rose from under $800 in mid-December 2007 to $1,000 in mid-March 2008, a gain of more than $200. Silver prices rose from under $14 in mid-December to $21 when Bear Stearns failed on March 17, 2008. That was a gain of $7. This was the highest price for silver and close to the highest price of gold since 1980. Obviously, a $200 rise in the price of gold and a $7 rise in the price of silver is not good if you are the biggest gold and silver short.
I've been posting quotes out of Ted's bi-weekly commentaries on this incredible story since he broached the issue with his paying subscribers last Wednesday. Ted has decided, and rightly so, that this issue should be in the public domain. This falls into the absolute must read category...and the two embedded charts tell all.

The Energy Sectors You Should Invest in This Year
Top energy analyst Marin Katusa, frequently featured in the financial media such as Forbes, Business News, Financial Sense News Hour, and the Al Korelin Show, says two undervalued energy sectors will provide windfalls for smart investors this year. Read his assessment, including which energy investments you should be bullish on for 2014… and which you'd only lose money on. Click here for Marin's free report, The 2014 Energy Forecast.
A $200 adverse price move on 75,000 COMEX gold contracts would result in a mark-to-market loss and margin call of $1.5 billion. A $7 adverse price move on 35,000 COMEX silver contracts would result in a mark to market loss and margin call of $1.2 billion. Bear Stearns had to come up with $2.7 billion because gold and silver prices rose sharply in the first quarter of 2008 and the company bet the wrong way. That it couldn't come up with all the margin money for the losses in gold and silver, is the most visible reason it went under. - Silver analyst Ted Butler: 17 February 2014
With the the U.S markets closed on Monday for their holiday, the trading volume was very quiet. But it was more than obvious from what happened before lunch Hong Kong time on their Monday, that "da boyz" were not asleep at the switch. They, or their proxies, were ever vigilant, as they did whatever it took to kill the silver and gold rallies in the Far East.
I posted the 6-month gold and silver charts in The Wrap section of Saturday's column, so I shan't post them again. But what they show is that both metals have now broken clear of their respective 200-day moving averages---and it's a pretty good bet that "da boyz" are trying to prevent prices from doing what they want to, which is blast significantly higher---so they showed up on Monday morning in Hong Kong with all guns blazing as that event began to unfold.
And as I put the finishing touches on today's column, I see that the not-for-profit sellers have been at it again in Far East trading on their Tuesday morning. Both gold and silver ticked higher right out of the gate at 6 p.m. on Monday evening EST---and less that 15 minutes later, the HFT boyz showed up. The lows [for the moment] in all four precious metals came shortly after 2 p.m. Hong Kong time---and have rallied a bit from there. That has continued for about the first hour of trading in London---and it will be interesting to see how the precious metals perform, or are allowed to perform, as the Tuesday trading session unfolds in both London and New York---especially New York.
Volumes [net of Monday's volume] as of 3:55 a.m. EST are huge already, which is not surprising considering the price action---and the dollar index isn't doing much, not that it matters, as the precious metal price action has nothing to do with the dollar index, at least not at the moment.
Now that we know that JPMorgan has received carte blanche approval to do what they wish within the precious metal market, you should be looking at these markets with new eyes---as all should be clear to you now. I know that it was a revelation to me---and it puts everything in perfect perspective, as all the puzzle pieces from March 2008 onwards, now fit together perfectly. It's obvious that Bart Chilton knew exactly what you know now, but was forbidden [probably under the pain of death] from saying anything about it. Well, the secret is out.
The one question remaining would be whether or not this immunity from prosecution for JPMorgan will mean the continuation of the price management scheme forever. From what I've seen in the COT Reports over the last couple of weeks---and JPMorgan's actions in the last twelve month or so---I'd say they're heading for exits, but at their own pace. This coming Friday's COT Report should tell us a lot.
As I hit the send button on today's efforts, I note that not much has happened in the hour or so since I commented on the price action last. Gold is down 12 bucks---and silver is down 30 cents. Both metals have 'given back' all their gains from Monday, plus a bit more. Volumes have cooled off quite a bit in the last hour or so---and the dollar index is flat.
But minutes after I wrote the above paragraph, the HFT boyz appeared---and this is what the Kitco gold and silver charts look like as of 5:20 a.m. EST.
As I said further up in The Wrap, the rest of Tuesday trading could prove interesting---and that has already turned out to be the case.
I hope your day goes well---and I'll see you here tomorrow.

Ever combine a couple of lists in MS Word?
You know… where you copy and paste one list onto the bottom of another?
Were they formatted the same way to begin with?
Probably not so, I must ask, when you finished did you sit there and wonder who decided what formatting to apply to the combined list?
I mean, let's face it, you may have preferred one formatting over the other and somehow you ended up with the one you didn't want to keep.
So, once again we ask… Who decided that?
Obviously it wasn't you, and since it isn't a random thing, someone made the decision (someone in a far off land otherwise known as the world of Microsoft).
The trick to combining lists (bulleted or numbered) is to simply know the rules.
When you paste one list into another you'll find that the formatting of the second list is changed to match the formatting of the first list where it's pasted.
With just that little bit of knowledge you can prevent a lot of extra frustration and formatting time. Just be sure to paste into the list that contains the formatting you're looking to keep to be pleased with the results the first time.

2.3L Turbo "Bonneville" car...need ideas.
We are looking to put together a "Bonneville" car using a 2.3L turbocoupe, any suggestions or "secrets" on building the engine will be appreciated. Your input may just help us to bring the "record" back to an American made car - as it should be !!!Come on wrench-heads, do it for the "U.S.A." thanks.
I know the SVO mustang of that area had some pretty good power . They were hand made engines . The 87 turbo coupe when i worked at the dealer changed the engine on a few to the SVO motor before the car had any miles on it cause they were having a problem and did not want to sell them to the public before they fixed it. So maybe ask around.Try asking Ford for some help they might just surprize you. I have a 90 supercoupe and was thinking the same thing ,why not a v-6 lux car with a blower cause thats all it is.Have had it to 160+ with a few tricks(16lbs of boost from the belt drive stock blower) . So its got to be able to go 200 with a lot of help and overdriven the blower with some big intercoolers,weight reduction. Hell the poor car has been stored for 2 years i never drive it but love it.You got my mind going(whats left of it) were do we get rules on classes and record number to shoot for. Its hard to test that stuff here on the east coast.Early sunday mornings and pray you dont get caught.(thats were the 160+ came from.police radar from a friend thankfully)

Most people wouldn't choke up at the sight of a deteriorated poncho, a rust-eaten key or a decades-old pocket knife. But tears rose to the eyes of several members of Private First Class William T. Carneal's family on Tuesday as they perused the items found with the World War II veteran's remains.
The belongings, which included Carneal's dog tags, belt buckle and a 1939 class ring from Heath High School, were recovered on the Japanese island of Saipan, where Carneal was killed in July 1944. After nearly seven decades without news of their relative, Carneal's descendants had little reason to believe they'd ever recover his possessions or remains.
But Carneal's possessions finally crossed the ocean and arrived in his family's hands. During a brief presentation at Reidland Clothing Company, U.S. Army Sgt. Tyler Holt unpacked a brown cardboard box and returned the objects, one by one.
"We kind of feel like now he's home with us," nephew J.T. Carneal said after the presentation.
J.T. Carneal added that the family has also found closure because of a recent investigation that revealed the cause of his uncle's death. The military believes that William Carneal, whose body was found with four others under more than 3 feet of clay, was killed by a grenade blast during a suicide attack by enemy forces, his nephew said.
"It's a blessing to us that the whole family now can know what happened and put it to rest," Carneal said. "He gave his life for his country."
Except for a dog tag that will be given to the Veterans Museum in Wickliffe, the belongings will remain in the hands of Carneal's descendants. Carneal is also survived by nephew Carlton M. Carneal, niece Mary Carneal Christian, great-nephew Jimmy Fields, and great-nieces Carol Ann Fields Lindley and Beverly Fields Swift.
The process of finding and returning Carneal's possessions and remains was hardly straightforward. Japanese nonprofit Keuntai, which searches for the bodies of Japanese soldiers killed in World War II, discovered Carneal's remains a year ago and turned them over to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command. The class ring gave the family hope that their ancestor had at last been found, but DNA testing was required to confirm Carneal's identity. The results arrived in December.
After Tuesday's presentation, the family gathered to make plans for Carneal's interment, scheduled for April 25, his birthday. Although Carneal could have been buried at Arlington National Cemetery, the family agreed that he should be laid to rest next to sister Ruth Anderson at Palestine United Methodist Church in West Paducah. Following a brief ceremony at 1 p.m. at Milner & Orr, Carneal will receive full military honors at the cemetery, including a 21-gun salute and flag ceremony. The military personnel of Fort Campbell will preside over the funeral. Local World War II veteran Edward "Earl" Gidcumb has offered to play taps.
"So many families exist that don't have any idea where their loved ones are," said Gidcumb, who also served in the Pacific theater, "and it's an honor to be involved in this whole thing."

Atlas Genius Join Silversun Pickups on North American Tour, 9/4; Launch U.S. Tour 8/11
Atlas Genius will join Silversun Pickups on tour this fall. The run kicks off on September 4th at Malkin Bowl in Vancouver, BC and will include shows at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, CA (9/13) and Chicago's Aragon Ballroom (9/21).
Prior to the dates with Silversun Pickups, the Adelaide, Australia-based band will embark on its first-ever U.S. tour, performing at the CD101 Summerfest at LC Pavilion in Columbus, OH on August 11 and then making its way west. Atlas Genius will play a series of dates with Animal Kingdom and wrap up the tour with radio shows in Seattle and Portland. See below for itinerary.
Today, Paste Magazine premieres a live acoustic video of "Symptoms," a track from Atlas' Genius debut EP, Through The Glass. Produced, engineered and mixed by the band in its home studio, Through The Glass also includes "Trojans."
"Trojans" is already a Top 25 hit at Modern Rock radio, where it has been added by 30+ stations, including KNDD/Seattle, KNRK/Portland, KROX/Austin, KTBZ/Houston, WWCD/ Columbus, XTRA/San Diego and KITS/San Francisco. Atlas Genius initially released the track on SoundCloud last summer. Championed by Neon Gold and topping the Alt-18 countdown of SiriusXM's Alt-Nation for four consecutive weeks, "Trojans" sold 45,000 copies before the band signed with Warner Bros. Records. The track has now sold over 60,000 downloads.
"Trojans" also peaked at No. 1 on Hype Machine and the We Are Hunted "Emerging Artist" chart. Xaphoon Jones of Chiddy Bang has just put his own unique spin on "Trojans," with a remix that was recently premiered on Neon Gold. Neon Gold has also invited fans to put their own spin on "Trojans" themselves in the site's first ever remix contest. Atlas Genius is currently hard at work in its home studio on its full-length debut album.

Private forests-public resources : policy and landscape on the Oregon Coast Range
Langridge, Ruth
File Name:
The forests of the Oregon Coast Range have been both the principal natural resource, and for many years, the primary economic base of the region. In the past thirty years, changing social and economic factors have created new visions for these forests, leading to conflict over the appropriate management of both public and private forest lands. Initially the conflict played out in escalating disputes over the management of public lands. Most recently, the recognition that the boundaries of ecosystem interactions, water quality, wildlife habitat, and even public safety do not fit into a public/private classification, has led to increased conflict over the management of private forest lands. This study examines the political patterns and dynamics of the Oregon Coast Range region as a forum for exploring how the institutional realities of political influence have shaped forest policy formation for private lands. Key political actors were influential in formulating and promoting the 1971 Oregon Forest Practices Act and Rules, the primary regulatory policy for private forest lands, and they were active participants in the evolution of three subsequent policy areas: the composition of the Oregon Board of Forestry, the rules for riparian areas, and the regulation of logging on steep slopes and unstable soils. Through an analysis of patterns of influence and procedure; resources, representation, and access; and regulatory outcomes with respect to the protection of public goods such as water and wildlife, the study focuses both on institutional capacity to respond to change and issues of process in regional policymaking. Results indicate that historically, the forest products industry significantly influenced early policy formation for private forest lands, and industry continues to maintain a proactive role today. Environmental groups emerged as a force in the 1980s, but focused primarily on public land policy. However, their successful use of the media to raise public awareness served to gradually connect public land issues to private policy. Other agencies played a role in policy formation but only when representatives of these groups chose to become involved (or were put under pressure through litigation by environmental groups). The scientific community contributed important information, but their work was affected by the political climate and by the maneuvering of interest groups. Since the 1980s, the policymaking process has included a larger and more diverse group of political interests, but despite a shift to a more open and inclusive process of public consultation, the Oregon Department of Forestry (the key regulatory agency for private forest lands) continues to interact more often with industry representatives in crafting policy, and when other stakeholders are not present, industry goals dominate agency decisions. Forty percent of the Oregon Department of Forestry's Forest Practices Division budget, as mandated by 1973 state legislation, comes from the timber harvest tax. Theory proposes that this budget dependency could influence the choice of policy and management options that prioritize continued and increased timber harvest over the protection of public goods such as water and wildlife. Regulations and rules protecting public resources have increased since the inception of the 1971 Act, but have been criticized as still minimal in addressing the protection of the forest ecosystem as a whole and the cumulative effects of harvest practices.

Occupational Therapy
**Please note: You cannot graduate from the University of Mississippi Oxford Campus with an Occupational Therapy degree.
An occupational therapist (OT) is a health professional concerned with restoration and maintenance of function following disease or injury. Specifically, occupational therapists are concerned mainly with finer motor control and its functioning in daily at-home activities. An OT may work with a variety of patients, such as stroke victims, amputees, spinal cord or head injury patients and developmentally disabled children.
Occupational Therapists should see a continual increase in employment due to the longer life span than in previous years. OTs work in many settings such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes, private practice, home health, and psychiatric hospitals.
Program Advising Sheet
Click here for the most recent curriculum sheet for Occupational Therapy at University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
*Other occupational therapy programs may have different requirements!*
***OT schools are COMPETITIVE! It is the students responsibility to find the requirements of the school they are interested in applying to, contacting the school of their choice, and talking about the requirements with their advisor. OT schools vary- some require a bachelor's degree and some do not! Make sure you do your research!***
Occupational Therapy at University of Mississippi Medical Center
The Master of Occupational Therapy program at UMMC is a 2+3 program where students spend two years on the Oxford campus completing their pre-requisite courses and then apply to the OT program in Jackson where they will spend three years before obtaining a master's degree. Some student may take three years to finish the required pre-requisite courses.

I would just chalk that up as marketing speak. As technology advances, they are always going to be moving forward creating new tools to better match the vision they have for the film.
They would probably end up redoing most of the characters anyways if they were to bring them back again at a later time because the pipelines change over time.If they created a film using Maya 2011 and are going to be doing a sequel 4 years later, they aren't going to just pull up 2011 again.
