Are the golden years over for gold? With prominent hedge fund managers such as George Soros selling large quantities of gold and the price down about 16.5 percent from 2011's all-time peak near $1,924, some experts think gold's best days could be tarnished by the world's nascent economic recovery.
Are the golden years over for gold?
With prominent hedge fund managers such as George Soros selling large quantities of gold and the price down about 16.5 percent from 2011's all-time peak near $1,924, some experts think gold's best days could be tarnished by the world's nascent economic recovery.
"We have been concerned about gold and silver prices for some time and the recent loss of momentum has concerned us even more," said Citigroup analyst Jon Bergtheil in a report. He says it's possible that the 12-year bull market in gold and silver has ended.
"If gold is currently peaking, it may have a long way to go down in terms of dollars per ounce as well as in the matter of the extended time frame," he said.
So investors, who bought gold thinking it would always be a winner, could be disappointed by a slump much worse than gold's slide to $1,604 an ounce Tuesday. The last time a bull market in gold ended in 1980, gold was a loser for more than 20 years after peaking at $850 an ounce. Gold declined to $252 and didn't return to its $850 peak until 2008.
Bergtheil is recommending that investors who invest in mining company stocks move from what he calls the "insurance metals" to industrial metals.
The thinking is that gold and silver were purchased for protection from the financial crisis and Great Recession in 2008. And as the Federal Reserve and other central banks throughout the world attempted to resuscitate the global economy by pouring trillions of money into the system, gold has been attractive as a hedge against potential inflation from too much stimulus.
Recently, however, with some signs of recovery in China and the U.S., stocks have become increasingly attractive, and some hedge funds — which move money around as they see opportunity in different types of investments — have added stocks to portfolios while selling some gold. Bergtheil has suggested to client investors in metals to select industrial metals used for construction and industrial purposes rather than gold and silver. Platinum, a precious metal that also is used for industrial purposes, has climbed about 10 percent this year while spot gold has declined 4.25 percent.
Still, getting a clear signal on gold for the long-term isn't easy.
Gold has "proven to be fickle," said commodities analyst Suki Cooper, of Barclays. "For now, gold appears to be without a clear driver given its range trade amid reduced investor conviction."
But he noted in a recent report to clients that as Congress begins to debate what to do about the nation's deficit and debt ceiling this spring, gold could be revived as a safe haven.
In August 2011, when gold was near its peak, investors were worried about European and U.S. political leaders unable to solve debt problems. At the time, the United State's debt rating was downgraded by Standard & Poor's, and European debt issues threatened to set off banking problems that could infect the global financial system. Since then, European leaders have calmed investors by providing aid to troubled banks and countries.
Stocks have climbed sharply in Europe and the U.S. as a result. And since European Central Bank leader Mario Draghi pledged to "do whatever it takes" to keep the eurozone intact, investors have become increasingly optimistic a recovery will take hold.
Yet as the Federal Reserve and other central banks have poured massive amounts of stimulus into the system — or what is often called "printing money" — investors have continued to invest in gold as a potential hedge against inflation and a decline in the dollar's value.
The presumption has been, however, that if the Fed signals an end to stimulus, gold prices will recede. Analysts said Tuesday that gold had dipped while investors await the Fed's minutes from the last meeting of the Fed's interest rate-setting committee.
Meanwhile, analysts such as John LaForge, of Ned Davis Research, warn investors that "decoding gold's drivers at any given moment is risky business."
"In the short-term, 2013, we think the greatest risk to gold is a U.S. dollar rally," he said, but adds: "The big caveat here is that gold has more moving parts than a Swiss timepiece."
That should be a sobering message for individuals swept up by late-night TV and radio ads touting gold as a no-brainer under any conditions.
LaForge thinks there is still upside for gold, but says that "how much upside gold has left will depend largely on the pace of global money printing."
Various gold promoters argue that gold investing is protection amid fear, a hedge against inflation, or a bet on the Federal Reserve's stimulus, LaForge said, but: "The truth is that gold falls somewhere in the middle of all of that."
He warned: "Gold is anything but simple."

If Obama Took 'Executive Action' On Guns, What Might He Do?
So that some of our members don't go crazy and shoot their own nuts off:
After Vice President Biden said Wednesday that the Obama administration might take some executive actions on the issues of guns and gun-related violence, questions naturally arose:
Why start another thread on this? : http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...ight=executive
Oh yeahhhh because one of the moderators is a tool who believes it's totally fine to have 8,000 anti-republicans threads but can't stand the sight of one that clearly presents that the administration has no problem overstepping their powers.
What smells is the bullsh*t being spewed by the White House... Biden wants Obama just to overstep congress if they, elected officials, can't come to a consensus. When did the president earn the ability to just push through any executive order he feels appropriate and at what point did it become ok even if it's stripping citizens of their bill of rights?
I swear there was a reply here somewhere.
We all know the members you are talking about. Nice personal assumption :rolleyes:
I think the final outcome will really only piss off everyone. Not restrictive enough and too restrictive to some.
Realistically there will be banning of large magazines (Clips). Stronger background checks, including gun shows. Tighter regulation on "Assault" type weapons..And beyond that.. not much more.
Whenever posts get deleted by mods I feel like I'm losing my mind because I swear a post was just there a second ago.
No free speech in here, sorry folks.
I'd love to see what Chase would do with 24hrs as a Mod.
None of those measures listed would have prevented any of the latest mass shootings.
If Obama was on record stating that he was banning all personal firearms, he wouldn't last 24 hours.
I would think the most likely executive action (if any is taken) would be to instruct the DOJ and ATF to more strongly pursue "AW" sales and possession of items which the USSC ruled as AW under the Clinton AW ban. I don't seem to recall the USSC specifically overturning that ruling, and if they haven't, he would have a "constitutional leg to stand on".
Who cares, just to see the paranoid gun fetishists get all red-faced and foaming at the mouth at the very thought of Obama mentioning the word "gun" is certainly entertainment enough. I imagine more than a few fleeing to their armed doomsday bunkers like roaches when the light's flicked on just waiting for the black UN/NWO helicopters to steal their precious bodily fluids (Dr. Strangeglove allusion for those not of a certain age).
In reality, it will likely be little more than some mundane and, for better or worse, generally ineffectual Executive Orders that beyond rattling the readily-rattled paranoid gun fetishists will amount to little.
What amazes me is that a person on this forum can make a legitimate thread expressing the concern over our VP stating that our President will simply supersede congress if needed to place an executive order taking away second amendment rights of US citizens.. and that it can turn into nothing but a flame fest.
I suppose the libs are perfectly fine with their chancellor in chief doing whatever he pleases. Just bend over and take it with a grin on your face :facepalm:

A plan to redevelop the southwest corner of Third and Market streets in downtown Lee's Summit is going forward despite opposition from a downtown organization.
The Lee's Summit City Council voted 6-1 at its Oct. 3 meeting to accept the site plan and architecture for a proposed clinic for orthodontist Craig Grider. Council member Kathy Hofmann voted no and Dave Mosby was absent.
The initial vote to draft an ordinance approving the project was closer, 4-3, but Councilman Ed Cockrell switched his vote.
Cockrell said he thought the building should be on the corner of Third and Market, with most of the parking to the west, first voting no along with Hofmann and Council member Allan Gray.
When the council had to consider voting on the ordinance, Cockrell said he'd expressed his opinion and would change his vote as to not delay the project. Gray also changed sides.
Downtown Lee's Summit Main St. Inc. opposed Grider's plan, saying the architecture and placement of a 3,000-square-foot building on the lot didn't conform to the recently adopted downtown design standards.
No one from that organization contacted on Oct. 4 commented on the vote.
Executive Director Trisha Drape said she had missed the meeting because she was busy working preparations for the weekend Lee's Summit Art Festival. She said she needed to review the meeting recording and documents before commenting.
The organization did send a letter to the council but did not have a representative speak during the public hearing on the site plan.
Grider also is seeking tax abatement for the project and that request is scheduled for a hearing Oct. 10.
Downtown Main Street contends that because Grider's project is the first under the new standards the city should enforce strict adherence.
Grider, who has a practice in Lee's Summit, is going to tear down a long-vacant gas station that's at the rear of the lot. He plans to replace it with a new clinic a few feet off the property line of Third Street, with parking behind.
The downtown standards call for the building to be on the front property line.
However, the site is in transition area between 1900-vintage buildings and newer structures on the west of downtown so the slight setback fits, said Linda Tyrrel, deputy director of planning and development.
She said city staff supports Grider's plan because it fulfills the major components of the design standards. It will be brick masonry on all sides.
In another deviation, instead of a brick wall to screen parking from Third and Market streets, Grider intends to build brick columns with wrought-iron fence between.
After negative comments at Planning Commission, he did change the design for the building's windows to make them more symmetrical.
Tyrrel said the city ordinances allow the City Council to make decisions on a case-by-case basis to allow some variations. Developments often have unique circumstances and sorting out the right approach is the purpose of public hearings, she said.
"We made a pretty strong effort to meet the design standards," Grider said. "We made strong effort to revitalize this location."

1st Place in Derby #310: Double-Take Derby 21 , with 176 votes!
Have you guys ever played Wiffle ball? IT'S THE BEST! Seriously, it's AMAZING! It's totally unlike anything else ever. It's way better than baseball, softball, tee-ball, and kickball. In fact, just now, when I compared them, that was stupid, because they're INCOMPARABLE!
Wiffle ball just transcends everything, you know? It's not a game; it's a lifestyle. You gotta rep Wiffle ball EVERYWHERE YOU GO! You gotta have Wiffle ball bumper stickers and Wiffle ball shirts and Wiffle ball posters, all that stuff. And whenever you're around someone who also enjoys playing Wiffle ball, it's required that you talk about Wiffle ball with them. Loudly.
Of course, these days all the Wiffle ball talk is about how they're retiring the last Wiffle ball bat design. What will the new Wiffle ball bat will look like? Will it be another long plastic bat? Nobody will know for sure until they unveil it!

Mathematica looks up the font by its aliased name rather than its full name.
There must be some missing alias in fonts.alias or in fonts.dir.

Moving a country cat to an apartment. Will it be okay to bring her back to run around?
I have a two year old domestic medium hair named Lucy, and she's lived here at my parent's house since she was five weeks old.
She's used to being an indoor/outdoor cat, coming inside to to eat, and cuddle and sleep in the winter, and spending most of her time outside in the spring and summer, catching mice and birds and rabbits and whatnot.
Next month, I'm moving away from my parents, to an apartment about an hour away. Lucy was a strictly indoor cat until she was spayed, so I'm sure she'll be okay after a little adjustment.
But I will be coming back here to the country to house sit while my parents go on their vacations and camping trips, and I'd really like to bring Lucy along and let her run around.
However, I'm not sure if this will be safe, once she adjusts to the new apartment.
Will I be able to bring her back here without her running off?

omg my name is Lucy!!! haha anyway that is a very good question- there's no telling how Lucy will react when she is brought from the country to an apartment-then back to the country again. Maybe she will be very excited to be back in her old home and run off. Or maybe she will be frightentened and weary of the outdoors. How does she respond in the apartment? Is she restless to be outside? Aggressive? Scared? Content? Visits back to the country may cause stress for your kitty, and under stress or fear, there is a possibility she will fun away. after she's adjusted to city life, take Lucy to the country and slowly adapt her back. Allow her to play outside under your watch before just leting her loose. Transitions may be rough at first, but soon they should become easy and Lucy will have the best of both worlds :)

"These invites are darling! The personalization is great, and I really loved that you could personalize the back of this invite as well- gives you lots more room to share the info you need to share about the shower! The print quality for the photo on the back is a little hazy, but not enough to sway the fact that I love these invites (and this may be partially because of the quality of the photo that I used). They arrived within days of ordering (even when the estimated arrival was about two weeks out), which I really appreciated!"
"The card stock is good quality. The photo on the back was a great added touch for free!! I forwarded the picture to my daughter-in-law--the mother to be--and she was so excited that I was able to find her theme!!"
"I ordered these, and 5 days later they showed up at my house! Yes, I paid extra for quick shipping, but even arrived quicker then expected! I will recommend getting the pearl touch to them, makes them somewhat shimmer. No they aren't glittery, but they are VERY beautiful and match my Paris themed girly girl baby shower! I will DEFINATLY order from TinyPrints again! :)"
"I just loved these cards. Being able to customize the print as well as add pictures on the back. Many positive comments from those who received the invites."
"I ordered these for my cousin. She is very much into butterflies and this is the perfect combination for a baby shower and for the mom. Customer service is great an they arrived 5 days before I expected them to arrive!!! Superb company and high quality cards!"

Santa Catalina Mountain - Mount Lemmon - Rincon Mountains
Mt. Lemmon is a rare jewel in the Arizona desert. Jutting up 9,000 feet above sea level, this magnificent mountain peak stands amidst the pale backdrop of the sparse desert sand and cactus. The foothills of the Catalina Mountains north of Tucson begins the hour long journey to the top of the hill known as Mt. Lemmon. As your car climbs, you are transported into a geological time warp.
Mt. Lemmon is probably the most popular getaway for Tucsonans and visitors, especially during the hot summer when temperatures in the valley often remain over 100 degrees F. for several months. It's no wonder that probably everyone who has lived or stayed in the area has been to Mt. Lemmon at one time or another. To some, it is a regular pilgrimage several times a year.
From the base of the mountain range, all the desert plant and wildlife co-exist among the ever creeping metropolitan city limits. Saguaro cactus abounds standing tall against the backdrop of the enormous mountain range. As you drive up the winding road, you gain a sense of awe as you watch the desert slowly turn into brush, then into an array of windblown rock formations and finally into the midst of a deep forest of pine and fir. If you visit in the winter, be sure to bring your ski equipment or snow tires.
In 1540, the Spanish explorer Don Francisco de Coronado and his expedition entered southern Arizona from Mexico in search of Seven Golden Cities of Gold, which were said to exist somewhere to the north. The exhausted expedition never found Cibola, but rather they found an immense region of cactus, grassy hills, lizards, and rugged mountain ranges. Today these mountains, administered by the Coronado National Forest Ranger Districts, rise like islands in a sea of desert. Their towering summits, capture the snow and rain that allow cities, industry, and agriculture to exist below in our arid Sonoran Desert environment.
The twelve mountain ranges of Coronado National Forest total 1.7 million acres of public land, and offer a remarkable range of vegetative types and climates. In only one hour, you can drive from the usually hot, arid desert to the cool pines. Elevations range from 3,000 feet to 10,720 feet. The Coronado National Forest is especially rich in its diversity of fauna and flora.
Visitors to the forest participate in a broad spectrum of activities ranging from backpacking in the remote and rugged Galiuro Wilderness to riding a shuttle bus in scenic Sabino Canyon, adjacent to metropolitan Tucson. Other recreational pursuits enjoyed on the Coronado include camping picnicking, hiking, studying nature, rock climbing, winter sports, fishing, hunting, rock hounding, photography, bird watching, and just plain enjoying the majestic scenery.
Mount Lemmon, offers some of the closest Coronado National Forest recreation opportunities all among the cool mountain pines. The Catalina Highway, a steep, scenic winding mountain road, provides access from northeastern Tucson to this popular area. For the hearty who are aching for a great backpacking trip, the Santa Catalina Passage portion of the Arizona Trail (which starts across the border from Douglas and ends up in Utah) leads you to the top of Mount Lemmon, from a Sonora Desert ecosystem to one resembling southern Canada.
Campgrounds are General Hichcock (5,920 feet), Pepersauce (4,700), Rosecanyon (7,200 feet) and Spencer Canyon (8,000 feet)

Wait A Moment
Wait a moment, the fevers will be singing within me,
Tiny groans will be heard, terribly subtle,
In the heights of the brain, from the holes of the heart...
It is a time of fracture.
Keep away from me!
Do not look at me.
I am awfully beautiful.
You will be blinded...
With bare tears,
Where the light shivers,
It shines and falls
Into the depths of the breast,
My face weeps
With eyes looking in.
Mystery of beauty,
Your victim is siphoning water from your oasis,
And is blooming, succumbing within you.
Now I remember what it is:

I created a new directory (Custom Packages), and put all of my Packages in
Then you need to modify you init.m file.
There are several, but the one in the :

directory works.
Just before:
AppendTo[$Path, "D:\\Program Files\\Wolfram

Note: Change the "Path" to whatever your actual path to the files is...
My init.m file looks like the following:

Chinese Farmers Revolt Against Government Land Grab
The road that runs along the edge of Shangpu village in south China is littered with the hulks of burned-out cars. Farmers have built tents and simple barricades made of rocks and wire. Police have set up their own cordon in a standoff that is approaching two weeks.
The villagers are demanding free elections following yet another government land grab. They say armed thugs sent by their own village chief attacked the community to pave the way for a new factory on their farmland.
This is the second uprising of its kind in Guangdong province in 15 months. The stalemate comes at an awkward time as China's rubber-stamp Parliament opened its annual meeting Tuesday in Beijing. Despite China's tremendous economic progress, the episode underscores the country's continued lack of rule of law and political accountability.
N. Korea vows to scrap ceasefire if South, US continue military drill
North Korea has threatened to scrap the armistice which ended the 1950-53 Korean War if the South and US continue with an ongoing military drill.
The Korean People's Army Supreme Command spokesman issued the statement Tuesday, according to the state KCNA news agency. Pyongyang warned it will cancel the Korean War cease-fire agreement on March 11 if the drills are not halted.
Details of the tentative sanctions remained murky, with UN diplomats telling Reuters on condition of anonymity they hoped to receive the draft resolution at Tuesday's council session.
The announcement from Pyongyang comes as South Korean and US troops launched their annual joint military drills on Friday. Some 10,000 US troops and 200,000 South Korean soldiers are currently taking part in the exercises.
North Korea had previously warned the US commander in South Korea of "miserable destruction" if the US military went ahead with the two-month-long exercise, Yonhap News Agency reported on Friday.
Nth Korea tells China of preparations for fresh nuclear test
BEIJING, Feb 15 (Reuters) – North Korea has told its key ally, China, that it is prepared to stage one or even two more nuclear tests this year in an effort to force the United States into diplomatic talks with Pyongyang, said a source with direct knowledge of the message.
Further tests could also be accompanied this year by another rocket launch, said the source who has direct access to the top levels of government in both Beijing and Pyongyang.
The isolated regime conducted its third nuclear test on Tuesday, drawing global condemnation and a stern warning from the United States that it was a threat and a provocation.
"It's all ready. A fourth and fifth nuclear test and a rocket launch could be conducted soon, possibly this year," the source said, adding that the fourth nuclear test would be much larger than the third at an equivalent of 10 kilotons of TNT.
The tests will be undertaken, the source said, unless Washington holds talks with North Korea and abandons its policy of what Pyongyang sees as attempts at regime change.
China 'adds destroyers to marine surveillance fleet'
AFP – China has transferred two destroyers and nine other ex-navy vessels to its maritime surveillance fleet, reports said Monday, as it moves to beef up its position in bitter territorial rows with Japan and other neighbours.
Beijing renovated the ships and transferred them to surveillance operations to "alleviate the insufficiency of vessels used to protect maritime interests", said a report on Tencent, one of China's major news portals.
China is embroiled in a maritime dispute with Japan that has seen tensions between the two Asian giants, the world's second- and third-largest economies, at times reach fever pitch.
It is also engaged in a simmering row with its southern neighbours over its claim to vast swathes of the South China Sea.
China defense chief says military buildup no threat to the world
(Reuters) – China's military buildup poses no threat to the world, Defense Minister Liang Guanglie said on Tuesday, in an effort to allay fears among Asian neighbors amid long-running maritime disputes.
The United States, Japan and many other Southeast Asian states have frequently expressed worries about China's double-digit defense spending increases and expanding naval reach, saying Beijing's plans lack transparency.
"There is absolutely no need for that," Liang told Reuters, when asked about neighbors' concerns.
"The Chinese military must develop, but there's no 'worry' or 'fear' as the outside world says," he said before a meeting with visiting U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. "That's not what China is about."
China's growing military influence has coincided with a more assertive diplomatic tone, evident in rows with Japan and Southeast Asia over disputed islands. China has also told the United States, with President Barack Obama's "pivot" to Asia, not to get involved.
Liang, speaking at China's Defense Ministry, stressed the need for cooperation between Beijing and Washington, which has called on China to share more about its military ambitions.
"We should develop the ties between us, between our two militaries, touch on some of our differences, resolve conflicting views," Liang said before meeting Mabus.
Blind Chinese activist appeals to Obama to get him to US
May 3, 2012 by Jack Blood
Filed under World
Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng appealed to US President Barack Obama to help get him and his family out of China, saying he feared for his life just hours after leaving the US embassy in Beijing.
"I would like to say to President Obama: please do everything you can to get our family out," Chen told CNN, according to a translation of his quote.
He also accused US embassy officials of pushing him hard to leave the safety of the embassy on Wednesday where he had sought refuge for six days after fleeing his home in the eastern province of Shandong.
"The embassy kept lobbying me to leave and promised to have people stay with me in the hospital, but this afternoon, as soon as I checked into the hospital room, I noticed they were all gone," Chen told CNN by phone.
CNN correspondent Stan Grant said he interviewed Chen, who is in a Beijing hospital, at around 3:00 am Thursday (1900 GMT Wednesday) with his wife sitting by his bedside. The US network aired two short audio clips of the interview.
Chen's comments came hours after US-based rights group China Aid said the dissident had "reluctantly" left the embassy and that it had been told by "reliable sources" that Beijing had made threats against his relatives.
That claim came despite US officials saying after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in China for pre-arranged talks that Beijing had pledged Chen and his family would be treated "humanely" and moved to a safe place.
Victoria Nuland, State Department spokeswoman, denied threats were made, but said Chinese officials had made clear Chen's family would be returned to their home in Shandong — where they suffered repeated abuse — if he remained at the embassy.
China Aid said in a statement: "Chen's decision for departure from the US embassy was done reluctantly because 'serious threat to his immediate family members were made by Chinese government' if Chen refused to accept the Chinese government's offer.
"We are deeply concerned about this sad development if the reports about Chen's involuntary departure (from the US embassy are) true," added the group, run by the exiled Chinese activist Bob Fu, who has been in close touch with Chen and his supporters.
Zeng Jinyan, wife of the dissident activist Hu Jia, who met with Chen after his dramatic flight from house arrest, also claimed that Chen "did not want to leave the embassy", citing the wife of the blind campaigner.
Chen, who riled Chinese authorities by exposing forced abortions and sterilisations under the "one-child" policy, fled house arrest on April 22 and sought refuge in the US embassy, where he demanded assurances on his freedom.
In a video address to Premier Wen Jiabao released after his escape, the activist alleged he and his wife and young child had suffered repeated abuses at the hands of local officials in his hometown.
Clinton said the United States remained "committed" to the 40-year-old legal campaigner, whose treatment she has repeatedly criticised in the past.
But China's foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said: "What the US needs to do is to stop misleading the public and stop making every excuse to shift responsibility and conceal its own wrongdoing."
Chen spoke to Clinton by telephone soon after he left the embassy for a nearby hospital, where he was treated for an injury sustained during his escape and reunited with his family, a senior US official said.
"After saying in Chinese how grateful he was that she had mentioned him in the past and supported his case, he said in broken English, 'I want to kiss you'," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
US officials also said that, while in the embassy, Chen never sought passage to the United States and instead wanted to live and work in China alongside his family.
Any renewed abuse against Chen could prove to be a political nightmare for Obama's administration, which has faced calls to show its commitment to defend human rights in China.
The case threatens to overshadow the annual meeting between leaders of the world's two largest economies on key issues ranging from North Korea's recent rocket launch to Syria.
Despite Wednesday's agreement, Beijing demanded that the United States apologise for what it called "interference" in its affairs.
"China is very unhappy over this. The US action is an interference in China's internal affairs and China cannot accept it," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Liu said.
A US official said there would be no repeat of the incident, but declined to comment on China's call for an apology.
Chen's flight came despite round-the-clock surveillance at his home in Shandong, where he has alleged that he and his family suffered severe beatings after he ended a four-year jail term in 2010.
In the video released after his escape, he appealed to Wen to punish several local officials he said had made his family's life a misery.
China blacks out online information sites to curb alleged Internet rumors of coup
BEIJING — Numerous Web sites remained shut down Sunday as the communist government sought to penalize popular social media sites for circulating rumors of a coup.
State-run Xinhua News Agency said Beijing police questioned and admonished an unspecified number of Internet users and detained six people for "fabricating or spreading" online rumors. The government shut down 16 Websites including two Twitterlike services that have more than 250 million users.
The microblogging services — known as weibo in Chinese — Sina and Tencent were disabled so that their comment functions could "clean up" rumors that included talk of "military vehicles entering Beijing and something wrong going on in Beijing," the state Internet Information Office told Xinhua.
Twitter, like Facebook and YouTube, is banned because the Chinese government wanted more control over the services.
Wave of Tibet immolations among history's biggest
(04-02) 00:04 PDT BEIJING, China (AP) —
Dozens of Tibetans have set themselves on fire over the past year to protest Chinese rule, sometimes drinking kerosene to make the flames explode from within, in one of the biggest waves of political self-immolations in recent history.
But the stunning protests are going largely unnoticed in the wider world — due in part to a smothering Chinese security crackdown in the region that prevents journalists from covering them.
While a single fruit seller in Tunisia who lit himself on fire in December 2010 is credited with igniting the Arab Spring democracy movement, the Tibetan self-immolations have so far failed to prompt the changes the protesters demand: an end to government interference in their religion and a return of the exiled Dalai Lama.
Still, experts describe self-immolations as, historically, a powerful form of protest, and the ones in Tibet might yet lead to some broader uprising or stir greater international pressure on Beijing.
China arrests over coup rumours
April 1, 2012 by Jack Blood
Filed under World
BO? Coincidence (B.O.?)
Chinese police have arrested six people and shut 16 websites after rumours were spread that military vehicles were on the streets of Beijing, officials say.
The web posts were picked up last week by media outlets around the world, amid uncertainty caused by the ouster of top political leader Bo Xilai.
The State Internet Information Office (SIIO) said the rumours had a "very bad influence on the public".
Two popular microblogs have temporarily stopped users from posting comments.
The two sites, Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo, are still letting people post to their own sites. But they said commenting on other people's posts would be disabled between 31 March and 3 April, so they "could act to stop the spread of rumours".
A spokesman for the SIIO told state news agency Xinhua earlier that the two websites had been "criticised and punished accordingly".
In a country where there is very little information from the authorities, rumours take on an added value in a way they perhaps would not in other countries.
I think this just shows you the Chinese authorities will move to close down any kind of public debate if they can.
He added that that a number of other people had been "admonished or educated".
Chongqing case
China's top leaders are grappling with the biggest political crisis they have faced for years, the BBC's Michael Bristow reports from Beijing.
The country will begin a once-in-a-decade leadership change later this year. But one of the main contenders for promotion – Bo Xilai – has just been sacked, suggesting a fierce fight behind the scenes for control of the ruling Communist Party.
Mr Bo was removed from his post amid allegations that his police chief and former ally had tried to seek asylum at a US consulate.
Chinese censors had previously blocked searches on various sites for terms linked to Mr Bo.
There have also been lurid, and unsubstantiated, rumours that Mr Bo's fall was also linked to the death of a British businessman, Neil Heywood, who last year was found dead in a hotel room in Chongqing, the city where Mr Bo was Communist Party chief.
The People's Daily, the party's main newspaper, said in a commentary: "Internet rumours and lies packaged as 'facts' will turn conjecture into 'reality,' stir up trouble online and disturb people's minds.
"If allowed to run amok, they will seriously disrupt social order, affect social stability and harm social integrity."
Our correspondent says that while there is no evidence to substantiate the rumours of a coup, the party is clearly upset.

Beijing China Coup rumors?
March 27, 2012 by Jack Blood
Filed under World
U.S. intelligence agencies monitoring China's Internet say that from March 14 to Wednesday bloggers circulated alarming reports of tanks entering Beijing and shots being fired in the city as part of what is said to have been a high-level political battle among party leaders – and even a possible military coup.
The Internet discussions included photos posted online of tanks and other military vehicles moving around Beijing.
The reports followed the ouster last week of senior Politburo member and Chongqing Party Secretary Bo Xilai, who was linked to corruption, but who is said to remain close to China's increasingly nationalistic military.
Chinese microblogging sites Sina Weibo, QQ Weibo, and the bulletin board of the search engine Baidu all reported "abnormalities" in Beijing on the night of March 19.
The comments included rumors of the downfall of the Shanghai leadership faction and a possible "military coup," along with reports of gunfire on Beijing's Changan Street. The reports were quickly removed by Chinese censors shortly after postings and could no longer be accessed by Wednesday.
The unusual postings included reports that military vehicles were sent to control Changan Street, along with plainclothes police officers and metal barriers.
Another posting quoted internal sources as saying senior Communist Party leaders are divided over the ouster of Mr. Bo. The divide was said to pit Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and against party security forces and Minister of Public Security Zhou Yongkang.
Late Wednesday, another alarming indicator came when Beijing authorities ordered all levels of public-security and internal-security forces under Mr. Zhou to conduct nationwide study sessions, although Mr. Zhou's name was not on the order – a sign his future may be in doubt.
Additional references on Chinese social media included vague mention of high-level party political struggles and related police activity in Beijing.
One posting referred to a mysterious atmosphere in Beijing and a reported shooting Tuesday night. The posting was quickly censored by authorities.

We should have listened to the other negative reviews and not go here at all. We actually left after a few hours at around 3 am in the morning, since the place was filthy, noisy and the worst experience we have ever made in a hostel, so we rather wanted to wait at the docks than here. We couldn't sleep at all, since it was noisy until 2 am. "

Hey, it's fine if people want to vote for McCain. If it wasn't for Palin, I would probably have considered (CONSIDERED) voting for him, but now there is no way.
I am not voting for Obama because he's black. He is not the Dems choice because he is black. That's a ridiculous thing to say. Should all presidents be white men forever on out? If Hilary won, would people say that the only reason she won is because she's a woman?
I understand how disappointed you feel, I do, and I am not being snarky, but I was never, ever in favor of the war in Iraq, and I felt just as disappointed when Bush won again in 2004, as I am sure a lot of people did.
So the Republicans had 8 years of their guy, their choice. The Dems might get their pick this time. It goes back and forth.
But no matter who wins, I don't think that either candidate will be in for 2 terms.
I don't think that the US is going down a dark path if McCain is pres (oh man but Palin???? aakkkkkk!!!!!) nor do I think that people who are voting for McCain are making a bad choice. It's their choice. People are different and have different politics. I think you have a skewed view of people who don't share your view of the world. We're really not that bad. We're not unpatriotic, lazy, or looking for a handout.

With each receiver connected to a separate HDMI input on our test TV, we flicked between them while tuned to a variety of HD and SD channels. Both are solid performers with BBC HD, ITV1 HD and Channel 4 HD, delivering beautifully sharp and clean high-definition pictures. Fine textures are conveyed with focus and stability, edges are boldly defined and there are no problems with motion tracking. We also couldn't spot any i/p conversion or upscaling artefacts either. There really is very little to choose between the two.
There are, however, some small differences with standard-definition material. Aside from the inevitable drop in sharpness when you switch to SD, there's a lot more noise crawling around in the picture, particularly around the edges of moving objects. The Metronic is fractionally softer, particularly with captions, but it certainly won't hinder your enjoyment.
In both cases, we're immensely impressed by the sensitivity of the tuner and the stability of the picture, plus both boxes are quick to load digital text and interactive services. That said, the Goodmans box did lock up a couple of times while browsing the setup menu.
Both receivers deliver TV soundtracks with dynamism and clarity from the HDMI and optical digital outputs, which is particularly advantageous when listening to speech-based programmes – but more dramatic material like movies or sports events sound great too.
So which of these receivers should you choose? Well, if picture quality is your main concern then rest assured that both units do a fine job, particularly with HD. But in most other areas – ease of use, remote, onscreen design, sockets, channel browsing, looks – Goodmans puts the Metronic to shame, although it's worth remembering that the latter's build quality is better.

vinyl lettering vs. name paint
I have been told the vinyl lettering should last 5-7 years. How about name painted?
Are there any other pros and cons?
vinyl lettering vs. name paint
The black computer-cut vinyl lettering on Southbound was still perfect after 17 years - 8 years in Northern climes and 9 years in the South.
Gord May
vinyl lettering vs. name paint
It doesn''t matter whether you use paint or vinyl lettering, the key is preparing the surface. My opinion, if you refinish your transom properly using two part linear polyurethane paint and then apply vinyl lettering or paint it on, it will still be on there when you sell your boat (or when they bury you in it at sea Viking style). This is a good opportunity to try doing two part paints yourself if you''re reluctant.
Allen Flanigan
vinyl lettering vs. name paint
Boatyard had the new name painted on Sept 2001. However, when we put PolyGlow on the hull at the end of March 2005, there was some loss of paint at the edges. Paint was Pettit EasyPoxy one-part.
In hindsight, this was the only part of the yard work that was less than ideal. We''ll probably strip and do matching vinyl name and hailing port in two years.

text: I am researching myself, it seems that the Nitro Piston models are quietest, and I'd think keeping the velocity under ~1150 fps (speed of sound) would help. That said, I am looking at the X-20 and X-50 for kicks. Have you considered a .22 with CB shorts? Because they are pretty quiet.

After the tragedy: How we connect in the face of the unthinkable
With the community still reeling from the news of the brutal murder of an 11 year old by his father, mourners flock to social media to pay their respects in the only way they know how.
The news that greeted most of us when we woke up this morning was as horrible as it gets.
A father violently murdered his 11-year-old son, Luke Batty, on a cricket ground on the Mornington Peninsula. He did this in front of the boy's mother, as well as a large group of kids and parents who were just finishing up training.
The police who attended the scene were forced to shoot the father, who had allegedly threatened them with a knife. He was taken to hospital but died a short time later.
And just like that, we are left reeling.
A mother is left with the unspeakable horror and pain of losing a child, the witnesses and attending police and paramedics are left with memories that can never be forgotten, and the wider community is left only with questions.
A community in mourning comes together
Immediately following the attack, a Facebook memorial page, 'RIP Luke Batty', was set up. In 12 hours, the page has received over 10,000 likes, a number that grows by the minute. In the face of such helplessness, the act of coming together to mourn is the only thing we feel we can do. While people who knew Luke have begun leaving their tributes, there are countless comments from people from all over the country; people Luke had never met, but who have come to pay their respects to a young life taken in the most brutal way.
"God bless this little boy's soul, and give his mother and family the strength and courage they need at this time. I will never understand how someone can do this sort of thing, especially to their own child. Absolutely heartwrenching," writes Mandi Burke-Owen.
"Condolences to family and friends. An entire state mourns with you. May Luke be remembered for bringing happiness and laughter into people's lives," Warwick Evans comments.
From one mother to another
Condolences too have rushed in for Luke's mother, Rosie, with other mothers compelled to reach out to her in what must surely be the worst moment of her life.
"Rest in peace sweetheart…. I cannot imagine nor take away the pain, numbness, sorrow and disbelief that your beautiful mum must be feeling…. I hope that somehow through her grief and the hard days and years that are going to follow her, she feels you and your arms around her… Praying for you both," wrote Sonja Falconer.
Tracy Ross commented, "What does one say to someone. My heart goes out to you, Luke's mum. No words will ever take away the pain and heartache your feeling. Just know your darling boy is an angel now and he will always be with you. Fly high Luke let your soul be free of any pain. Xoxoxoxo."
Trial by social media
While pages such as this are meant for people to come together to pay their respects, they can quickly turn nasty as well, with theories already flying about possible motives for the murder. Several commenters have raised the issue of custody, with one comment saying that it, "could have been avoided had the father been aloud [sic] to have a voice and his rights not taken from him."
This is the dark side of memorial pages such as these – and in fact was a significant issue for police during the case of Melbourne woman Jill Meagher's murder, with police warning the public that speculation and 'trial by social media' is unhelpful and potentially damaging to proper legal proceedings.
Why we need to grieve together
Ten years ago, the idea of a community using social media to support one another and grieve the loss of a child would have seemed bizarre – trivialising the tragedy, even. Yet people have been coming together to grieve the loss of life since the dawn of time, and this is simply an evolution of that. With social media making it possible to connect with a far wider community, pages such as the RIP Luke Batty memorial play a vital part in connecting us. They remind us that while there are unthinkable things happening in the world, there are also many more people who want to reach out and fight against them. They remind us that we're not alone in wanting to crawl under the covers and not come out on days like today. Most of all, they might give some small comfort to a mother who has lost her son in the most terrible of circumstances.
Do you ever engage with memorial sites for people you don't know?

Cuisine: Modern European
Location: Perth CBD, Central Park Tower
It's been a long time since we had a team lunch so headed to Grand Central Park. I was wondering where this place is and after passing Shiro and walking a little further past a cafe, I noticed this restaurant which must be new as I'm sure I would have noticed this place.
Stepping in, the place is quite flash. Certainly tantalises the senses without being over the top. The cafe / bar area is on the ground level while the restaurant is upstairs. The bar area is brightly lit up by the actual bar while the overhead lighting is considerably muted with a touch of light illuminating the curved roof beams. Very stylish.
We had a booking and took a seat at our table. The benches were rather high so it was a little awkward getting into them and then pulling yourself towards the table which was at a comfortable height, unlike that at The Generous Squire which is at the perfect height for drinking! There's quite an extensive wine list but being a non-drinker, I just skipped to the food menu which had a nice selection of items. The menu is a slight cross between the typical bar menu and a European restaurant. Slightly more cheffed up meals. One meal which certainly caught my interest was Patagonian Toothfish. I've heard of it but never eaten it. It's the fish that is sought after by Asians and illegally fished in our waters. I thought I'd give that a go. Gotta try something different.
Despite going to the bar to place our orders, the food wasn't delivered at the same time and most of our table was waiting for our meals. The waiter who brought the last meals out on a prompt of "where are our meals?" realised what had happened and apologised Apparently, the bar staff didin't place all our orders together for the one table so when they got to the kitchen, they were prepared separately. Not a big thing, but it was nice to receive an apology and an explanation which provided a better dining experience despite the stuff up. No biggie but it was nice to see an acknowledgment of the error on the restaurant's part and smoothes over the small grieveance. Other restaurants just gloss over this which is worse.
My poached patagonian toothfish fillet was served atop a "salad of orange segments, red onion slices, pistachio nuts, cubed watermelon and a medley of tomato finished with a citris vinaigrette". The fish is very buttery, soft and smooth in texture, just breaking away at the touch of the fork. It is very rich and the choice of the salad is an excellent contrast. The citrus elements of the orange, acidity of the various tomato varieties and the refreshing nature of the watermelon, aid to cut through the richness. However, after eating a bit of the warm fish and then going towards the cold salad presents a bit of a shock. I was almost expecting the salad to be warmed. That aside, I really enjoyed the meal but felt it was overtaken by the quantity of salad. I think the richness of the fish makes the initially smallish looking fillet actually just the right size, but would have preferred a little less salad and instead, a smallish bowl of chips or another element of some sort, just to provide a little more substance. Fortunately, someone ordered a meal which came with chips and there were some left over so I asked if I could have them and enjoyed them. There wasn't many but it was just enough to leave me comfortably full. Oh, and the chips were delicious.
Grand Central Park Food Review Summary
Verdict: Stepping in the venue has a very modern feel that engages the senses without being pretentious. Without trying to be too elitist, it seems like the bar is for a more polished patronage. Very smart venue, the menu has a nice selection of affordable items. I really enjoyed trying something completely different – patagonian toothfish. It's very soft and flaky, not fishy, very well poached and buttery. However, given it's richness it was superbly complemented by an interesting cold salad of orange segments (citrus), various tomato varieties (acidity), watermelon (freshness), pistachios (crunch & texture), Spanish onions and a vinagrette. The elements of the salad combined to cut through the richness and provide a real freshness in the hot summer weather. A very well thought out and balanced dish. I would have liked a little less salad and more of another element providing substance, like chips or something potato.
Price: Reasonable
Taste: Delicious
Value: Excellent
Recommendation: Recommend

Carr Automotive offers complete vehicle repair service
Dennis Carr corrects a rough-running engine problem. Carr Automotive, located at 316 East McGaffey Street, offers complete vehicle repair service, including tune ups; heating system and air conditioning service; engine repairs; complete engine overhauls; brake jobs; electrical systems; you need it, they probably can do it. Phone 622-0909 for more information. Dennis and Joe do all the repairs at Carr Automotive, so you know who is working on your vehicle, from repairs to tune-ups. Carr Automotive is the place to get your vehicle repaired right the first time. Estimates are given before any work is performed on your vehicle.
Carr Automotive Inc., 316 East McGaffey Street, is the place to get your vehicle repaired right the first time. The shop is family owned and operated. Brothers Joe and Dennis Carr handle all the repairs.
Carr Automotive has been taking care of Roswell area resident's automobiles and vehicles for the past twenty-nine years, operating until the first of 1994 as Carr Alternator Service, when their late [auth] dad (Dale) decided to change the name of the business to better reflect the range of services they provide.
"We provide complete automotive repair services," Dennis and Joe say.
Among the many services that Carr Automotive can provide are:
• Heating system and air conditioning service;
• Engine diagnosis;
• Engine repairs;
• Engine tune-ups;
• Fuel injection and carburetion;
• Brake jobs;
• Clutches;
• Electrical systems;
• they also build custom length battery cables; and
• they carry and install Interstate batteries.
The premium-quality Interstate Battery is priced right and has a nationwide warranty.
Dennis and Joe also rebuild starters, alternators and generators, not only for automobiles, but also for tractors and heavy-duty trucks.
Customers have come to expect having their vehicles repaired as soon as possible at Carr Automotive. They know you need your vehicle and will try to get it back on the road in a timely manner for you.
Carr Automotive has the reputation of doing the job right the first time, so they rarely see customers coming back with the same problem. "We try to make them happy and to keep them happy," Dennis says.
Rates charged at Carr Automotive are based on the Chilton Guide, the professional standard for the auto repair business. Estimates are given before any work is performed on your vehicle.
Be prepared
Whether it is hot or cold, your engine and cooling system need to work perfectly in order to keep your vehicle running properly.
Carr Automotive can check your hoses, flush your radiator and put in the proper amount of antifreeze to protect it from overheating this summer and from freezing next winter, damaging the cooling system. (Modern engines also use antifreeze as a coolant when the weather is hot.)
Batteries are more likely to fail when the weather gets really cold or real hot. Avoid potential trouble by having your vehicle's battery tested, belts and hoses checked and the engine tuned.
In the family…..
Dennis and Joe Carr apparently inherited both their dad's and their grandfather's knack for fixing vehicles.
Their grandfather (George L. Carr) worked for Caterpillar Tractor Co., and their mom's father (Herman DuBoise) worked in the service department of a Ford dealership in Peoria, Illinois.
At most shops, mechanics come and go, so you are never sure who will be working on your vehicle – or how much experience they have. But at Carr Auto-motive, Dennis and Joe Carr take care of all the repairs. You know exactly who you are dealing with.
Carr Automotive, Inc., is open from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Stop by 316 East Mc-Gaffey Street and let Joe or Dennis Carr solve your automotive problems.
Carr Automotive's phone number is 622-0909.
Emergency numbers are 623-9751 and 625-9007.
You depend on your transportation, and you can depend on Carr Automotive to keep you rolling.
You can depend on Carr Automotive – because they value their reputation.
