International Monetary Fund managing director
Calling for urgent action by European political leaders to resolve the region's debt crisis, Ms Lagarde told a conference in Berlin overnight that the world was at "a defining moment", warning that "the longer we wait, the worse it will get".
"It is not about saving any one country or region," the IMF head said.
"It is about saving the world from a downward economic spiral. It is about avoiding a 1930s moment in which inaction, insularity and rigid ideology combine to cause a collapse in global demand."
Ms Lagarde flagged the fund will lower growth forecasts for most parts of the international economy when it issues its World Economic Outlook tomorrow, less than a week after the World Bank sharply downgraded its outlook, warning of the risk of a downturn even deeper than that following the global financial crisis if Europe's debt crisis causes financial markets to freeze.
The World Bank slashed its 2012 global growth forecast from 3.6 per cent to 2.5 per cent, before a modest improvement to 3.1 per cent in 2013.
Ms Lagarde warned growth could be even weaker than the IMF expected unless meaningful action was taken to resolve the debt crisis and strengthen economies and banking systems.
She said prospects for the world economy had deteriorated last year because of "many false starts and half measures", not only in Europe, but also the United States, Japan and other countries.
"Although the outlook remains deeply worrisome, there is a way out," she said. "The world must find the political will to do what it knows must be done."
In a direct challenge to policymakers, particularly in Germany, who are intent on deep government spending cuts in indebted European countries and hostile to the idea of euro bonds, Ms Lagarde warned that budget austerity would only fuel recessionary pressures in the region, and said some form of a joint bond was needed.
The IMF head said that in much of Europe, the pace of government spending cuts should be slowed and urged those countries with capacity to support activity to reconsider austerity policies this year.
"Fiscal sustainability depends, ultimately, on generating long-term growth," Ms Lagarde said.
She said Europe's debt woes reflected a crisis of incomplete integration, arguing that "it is not tenable for 17 completely independent fiscal policies to sit alongside one monetary policy. Monetary union needs to be supported by financial integration".
The IMF head repeated calls for a $US500 billion boost to her organisation's funds to help prop up economies damaged by the sovereign debt crisis, including "innocent bystanders".
The Australian Financial Review reported last week that Australia may be asked to contribute up to an extra $US8 billion to the fund.

The Magic Of The Breeze – 32 I Used To Travel By Train - Poem by Angelina Pandian
I used to travel by train
Previously too – The travel
At night, the distant lights
The stars in sky, hopeful dreams
The sound of thundering wheels
Singing a song to the rhythm
Of the beat of the heart of steel
The rush of the wind
Standing by the door
I used to think what means all this
The fury and sound, the very travel
The people I used to meet or travel with
No one has been able to erase the sadness
Or ease the pain I feel when traveling
I used to feel all alone by the door
And life speeding by towards the end.
I have enjoyed my travel too
In groups with friends now far apart
I remember days gone by never to come
But, however long the distance
I used to stand at least half the time.
With you I now sit and enjoy
It is no longer a pain
Before travel was business
Travel was necessary and unavoidable
It was an escape sometimes
Just the act of traveling – running away
But, I always had to come back
And face life alone, just alone.
Now, you have shown me
The other side of travel by train
The train is still the train
The people, crowd all are the same
But yet not the very same,
You and I, no one else I see
Time, with it all people, the crowd
Are frozen in time and none exists
Other than just the two of us
I myself am in a dream till the end
Drinking the air and feeling
The breeze and you fill each cell
I no longer think, I only wait
To feel the brush of your touch
And the kiss of the breeze!

Well, I don't think they will get rid of hunting entirely, as it is their major funding source. Heck, you can hunt trophy Tule elk there, an hour from downtown L.A., for $20,000. The elk are not fenced in, all are wild, but the ranch is so huge, and other than a little snow in the winter, there is no reason for them to leave, so they stay all year.
My only concern, as I said, is that they will bring back hunting with guides only. I was told the management hunts are a big part of controlling the herd, so they think they'll continue, but nobody knows for sure. We'll have to wait for the outcome of the investigation.

Online Extra: A Nano Drug's Giant Promise
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong isn't a big fan of the word "vindicated," but sometimes he just can't resist uttering it. And who can blame him? In January, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved Abraxane, a new cancer-treatment drug made by American Pharmaceutical Partners (APPX ), which Soon-Shiong founded.
During a 10-year battle to get the drug to market, Schaumburg (Ill.)-based APP weathered lawsuits from investors who thought Soon-Shiong was hyping the Abraxane's prospects, attacks by short-sellers who were convinced APP's stock would plummet, and even fraud accusations from Soon-Shiong's own brother, who was once his business partner. "People thought it was blue-sky, crazy, impossible," Soon-Shiong says of the new drug.
Indeed, at times Abraxane seemed like an unobtainable goal. The drug is a reengineered form of Taxol, a popular chemotherapy treatment used for some forms of cancer. Although Taxol is effective, it has such high toxicity that its label warns of "severe hypersensitivity" and "fatal reactions." The reason: Taxol has to be dissolved in an industrial-strength solvent that causes most of the dreadful side effects. Soon-Shiong's idea was to ditch the solvent and attach the drug to tiny nano-particles of protein instead -- an idea that had been tried unsuccessfully by others.
As APP came close to filing for FDA approval last spring, company execs boldly predicted Abraxane would get "priority review," meaning the agency would hand down an answer in 6 months as opposed to the usual 10. When the FDA declined to put the drug on the faster schedule, jittery investors started bailing: APP's shares fell from $42 in May, 2004 to $29 in November.
Plus, APP was hit with class actions, charging that it was promising Abraxane could be given without allergy-preventing medications, even though some patients in the clinical trials had received other drugs, such as steroids, to head off bad reactions.
Then, vindication. The FDA approved Abraxane for use in breast cancer patients who had failed other therapies or relapsed within six months. Also, the agency said, the drug wouldn't have to be given with preventative medications, which in and of themselves can cause dangerous side effects.
While APP had a fairly strong business making generic drugs before, analysts expect Abraxane to push revenues up 50%, to $609 million, this year. Profits could double, to $120 million. In mid-March, the few remaining lawsuits against APP were dropped. Its stock closed at nearly $52 a share on Mar. 30.
Analysts believe APP's business -- and its stock -- have plenty of room for growth. That's because Abraxane could eventually be used in even broader clinical settings. One example: Physicians at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York are preparing to test it for what they refer to as "dose density." Normally, chemo treatments such as Taxol have to be given to patients gradually, in measured doses over several months. Otherwise, side effects such as low blood pressure and allergic reactions can turn deadly.
But some oncologists hope that because Abraxane is less toxic, they might be able to bombard tumors with very high doses given, say, every week instead of every two weeks. "We think we can dramatically increase the effectiveness" of the chemo, says Dr. Larry Norton, deputy physician-in-chief in charge of breast cancer programs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. "We know that giving high doses closer in time can have a profound impact on breast cancer."
Furthermore, APP might be able to apply its technology to other cancer-fighting drugs. Solvents are a problematic ingredient in several chemo treatments. APP is now testing its protein-based delivery method on three drugs to treat breast, lung, and colon cancers. Analysts have an average price target of $60 on the stock, though that could increase if APP's technology proves promising beyond Abraxane.
Soon-Shiong isn't quite out of the woods yet. APP still has to prove it can manufacture Abraxane at a high enough rate to meet demand. As a "nanoparticulate," Abraxane's molecular structure is quite a bit more complex than the other drugs APP makes. Investors are rarely kind to biotechs that fail to live up to the manufacturing challenge -- and APP won't escape punishment if it can't keep up.
Despite the risks, Soon-Shiong feels confident enough now to say that tricky word. "I feel vindicated," he says. "But more importantly, I'm very excited." If the bold plans he has to extend the Abraxane concept pan out, no doubt Wall Street will continue to turn cartwheels, as well.

America has entered World War II but puny patriot Steve Rogers (Evans) is still 4F. However, after military scientist Erskine (Tucci) spies Rogers' inner strength he's inducted into a secret programme and injected with a serum that gives him uncanny speed and strength. When Nazi scientist Schmidt (Weaving) discovers a powerful artifact, Rogers must take the mantle of the nation's first super-soldier, an emblem called Captain America...
Like this year's X-Men: First Class, The First Avenger finds fresh wrinkles in the well-worn superhero origin story by setting the action in the film-period of the character's comic-book birth. Where Matthew Vaughn's take on X-Men was pure '60s spy caper, Joe Johnston's Captain America is a boy's-own '40s war story, full of derring-do, knockout dames and dastardly Nazis.
Marvel's matchmaking of director to material may not appear as astute as hitching Shakespearean Ken to Thor but Cap is a generation older than Spidey and Johnston's Saturday-morning-serial sensibilities have been his signature since The Rocketeer. Johnston also won an Oscar for his SFX work on Raiders Of The Lost Ark and it's Spielberg's benchmark - rather than, say, The Dark Knight - that's clearly the model here.
In reaching for this Indy-ideal, the movie begins confidently. Cutting between Rogers' trials on the home front and the terrible triumphs of Schmidt in Europe, the narrative lines are sharply drawn, the pacing unhurried and a platoon of quality scene-chewers are deployed in classic character parts that require zero nuance.
3D murk aside, it all looks mighty swell. Johnston is in his element recreating the retro-futurism of period sci-fi and the transformation of the excellent Evans from puny punchbag to man-mountain is a fantastic coup de theatre. The self-evident swagger culminates in the movie's best sequence - a winning piece of metafiction that pegs the creation of 'Captain America' to war bonds propaganda and allows Johnston to wink at the original Joe Simon-Jack Kirby comics before moving on.
Once Rogers is pitched into battle, however, the movie loses its footing. The plotting becomes choppy, the spectacle is muddled by far too many characters and the all-important set-pieces are a bit pedestrian – Bond would never zip-line onto a high-speed Alpine train just to stage a shootout in a corridor. Plus, poor patriotic Cap turns out to be a stiff. After Stan Lee defrosted him for the Avengers in 1964, Cap became interesting as an old-school gent marooned in the coarse present – Joss Whedon will get to play with these dynamics next year but Johnston just gets the plastic action figure to play with.
None of this would cause lasting damage were it not for the modern-day bookends that make for a miserable climax and rob Cap of his overdue glory. The Han Solo routine should really have been reserved for the pre-credits of The Avengers; shoving Cap into cold storage at the close of his solo debut is a bush league dramatic error – if nobody your hero saves survives to the final credits, his mission is meaningless.
Charming, handsome and full of pep all 70 year-old Cap lacks is a knockout blow. Still, Johnston should be saluted for old-fashioned heart in a cynical age, while Marvel should be confined to barracks for cynical marketing.

104 S. Second Street, Denton 410-479-0700
Ridgely Telephone Exchange Museum
In 1905 the Farmers and Merchants Telephone Company, created by entrepreneurs in Caroline County, erected the finest telephone system on the Eastern Shore, connecting all of the towns in the county, plus major towns in the Mid-Shore. The C & P Telephone Company purchased the Farmers and Merchant system in 1911. Telephone subscribers in Ridgely increased from 10 in 1905 to 120 in 1937. C & P erected a new brick structure in the 1950s, setting in motion the odyssey of the Ridgely Telephone Exchange.
Railroad Avenue, Ridgely.
Open daily from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Closed December, January & February.
Tuckahoe Meeting House – Privately owned
The meeting house was built in 1802 by members of the Society of Friends, who had been Nicholites, a sect that originated in Caroline County. The building was used as a house of worship and as a Friends School until 1897. The building was then rented by "Dunkards" for religious meetings for blind persons and as a school.
At Routes 404 & 328, West Denton
Webb-Fluharty Log Cabin
This rare dwelling built about 1852 by James H. Webb, a free black, probably survived because he salvaged ballast stones, left by vessels in the nearby river, and erected the cabin atop the stones. Webb lived in the small cabin with his wife and two children, whom he had purchased from a nearby slaveholder.

Williston Community Church
The Williston Community Church, built for the Congregationalists in about 1868, was most likely adapted from plans by Richard Upjohn, one of the most prominent architects of the mid-nineteenth century in America. The construction is called "board-and-batten" and is very similar to the construction style of the Williston Mill, one half mile south on Harmony Road. The style, popularized by Upjohn as a way of achieving a Gothic style without the expense of stonework, was known as "Carpenter Gothic."

Alessandra Ambrosio Drops By "Chelsea Lately"
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Alessandra Ambrosio showed up at "Chelsea Lately" last night (November 28).
The Brazilian supermodel brought along the $2.5 million Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra, which also came with some added security.
Alessandra began, "I have like two bodyguards here. And they're actually super-professional… all they care about is the [Fantasy] Bra. So when they're looking at me they don't care about me at all. It's all about the bra."
Host Chelsea Handler noted that when she saw the beefy guards, she wondered, "What? Is 50 Cent here?"
"I actually saw him this morning, [when I was working]," shared Alessandra. Chelsea shot back, "What? You woke up with him?!" And Ms. Ambrosio replied, "No, no, no. I was doing interviews and he was there too. I think I told him I was going to see you tonight."

Troy NY (SPX) Oct 04, 2013
A new look at the early solar system introduces an alternative to a long-taught, but largely discredited, theory that seeks to explain how biomolecules were once able to form inside of asteroids.
In place of the outdated theory, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute propose a new theory - based on a richer, more accurate image of magnetic fields and solar winds in the early solar system, and a mechanism known as multi-fluid magneto-hydrodynamics - to explain the ancient heating of the asteroid belt.
Although today the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is cold and dry, scientists have long known that warm, wet conditions, suitable to formation of some biomolecules, the building blocks of life, once prevailed. Traces of bio-molecules found inside meteorites - which originated in the asteroid belt -could only have formed in the presence of warmth and moisture.
One theory of the origin of life proposes that some of the biomolecules that formed on asteroids may have reached the surfaces of planets, and contributed to the origin of life as we know it.
"The early sun was actually dimmer than the sun today, so in terms of sunlight, the asteroid belt would have been even colder than it is now. And yet we know that some asteroids were heated to the temperature of liquid water, the 'goldilocks zone,' which enabled some of these interesting biomolecules to form," said Wayne Roberge, a professor of physics within the School of Science at Rensselaer, and member of the New York Center for Astrobiology, who co-authored a paper on the subject with Ray Menzel, a graduate student in physics.
"Here's the question: How could that have happened? How could that environment have existed inside an asteroid?"
In the paper, titled "Reexamination of Induction Heating of Primitive Bodies in Protoplanetary Disks" and published today in The Astrophysical Journal, Menzel and Roberge revisit and refute one of two theories proposed decades ago to explain how asteroids could have been heated in the early solar system.
Both of the established theories - one involving the same radioactive process that heats the interior of Earth, and the other involving the interaction of plasma (super-heated gases that behave somewhat like fluids) and a magnetic field - are still taught to students of astrobiology.
Although radioactive heating of asteroids was undoubtedly important, current models of radioactive heating make some predictions about temperatures in the asteroid belt that are inconsistent with observations.
Motivated by this, Roberge and Menzel reviewed the second of the two theories, which is based on an early assessment of the young sun and the premise that an object moving through a magnetic field will experience an electric field.
According to this theory, as an asteroid moves through the magnetic field of the solar system, it will experience an electric field, which will in turn push electrical currents through the asteroid, heating the asteroid in the same way that electrical currents heat the wires in a toaster.
"It's a very clever idea, and the mechanism is viable, but the problem is that they made a subtle error in how it should be applied, and that's what we correct in this paper," said Roberge. "In our work, we correct the physics, and also apply it to a more modern understanding of the young solar system."
Menzel said the researchers have now definitively refuted the established theory.
"The mechanism requires some extreme assumptions about the young solar system," Menzel said. "They assumed some things about what the young sun was doing which are just not believed to be true today. For example, the young sun would have had to produce a powerful solar wind which blew past the asteroids, and that's just no longer believed to be true."
The solar wind, and the plasma stream it produced, was not as powerful as early theorists assumed, and the researchers have corrected those calculations based on the current understanding of the young sun.
Roberge said the early theorists also incorrectly calculated the position of the electric field asteroids would have experienced. Roberge said that, in reality, an electric field would have permeated the asteroid and the space around it, a mistake very few researchers would have realized.
"We've calculated the electric field everywhere, including the interior of the asteroid," Roberge said. "How that electric field comes about is a very specialized thing; about 10 people in the world study that kind of physics. Fortunately, two of them are here at RPI working together."
What emerges, Menzel and Roberge said, is a new possibility, based on the corrected understanding of the electric fields the asteroids would have experienced, the solar wind and plasma conditions that would have prevailed, and a mechanism known as multi-fluid magneto-hydrodynamics.
Magneto-hydrodynamics is the study of how charged fluids - including plasmas - interact with magnetic fields. The magnetic fields can influence the motion of the charged fluid, or plasma, and vice versa. Magneto-hydrodynamics had a moment of fame as the propulsion system for an experimental nuclear submarine in the 1990 movie The Hunt for Red October.
Multi-fluid magneto-hydrodynamics are an even more specialized variation of the mechanism that apply in situations where the plasma is very weakly ionized, and the neutral particles behave distinctly from the charged particles.
"The neutral particles interact with the charged particles by friction," Menzel said. "So this creates a complex problem of treating the dynamics of the neutral gas and allowing for the presence of the small number of charged particles interacting with the magnetic field."
Menzel and Roberge said their new theory is promising, but it raises many questions that merit further exploration.
"We're just at the beginning of this. It would be wrong to assert that we've solved this problem," Roberge said. "What we've done is to introduce a new idea. But through observations and theoretical work, we know have a pretty good paradigm."
And much as Menzel and Roberge benefited from recent progress in understanding the physical conditions in an emerging planetary system, they hope their own work will advance the field of astrophysics.
"There are a lot of byproducts of this work because, in the course of doing this, we had to really zero in on how an asteroid interacts with the plasma of the young solar system," said Roberge. "There are a lot of physical processes that we had to consider that have not been considered in this context before."

Now that it's 2015, the next phase of Obamacare kicks in: Employers of more than 100 people must give them insurance benefits. This provision of the Affordable Care Act had been delayed by executive decree, but now it goes into effect.
Most employers in this range already provide health insurance to their employees, though the law does change things for the companies. For example, those who work as many as 30 hours must now get insurance, even though they are not full time.
This time next year, the mandate will apply to smaller businesses those of 50 or more workers. Businesses that hire fewer than 50 are not covered in the law and will not have to insure their employees. [Read more…]

'Writing this has been a scaffolding to help prop me up, a handrail as I take my first steps down this dark, lonely staircase,' she explains.
British actress Natascha McElhone has published excerpts from a diary she kept after the sudden death of her husband, crediting the notes with helping her cope with the tragic loss. The "Californication" star was filming in Los Angeles when her plastic surgeon partner Martin Kelly suffered a cardiac arrest in May, 2008, collapsing on the doorstep of the couple's London home.
McElhone, who was pregnant with the pair's third child at the time of Kelly's death, poured out her thoughts and feelings on paper in the subsequent months and she insists doing so helped her rebuild her life. Two years after the tragedy, McElhone has decided to share some of the writings in Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.
She explains, "Writing this has been a scaffolding to help prop me up, a handrail as I take my first steps down this dark, lonely staircase. Martin's death is the closest I have come to death myself. Coming back from that brings a new lease of life, a belief (however fleeting) that I must quickly share these experiences before they evaporate."
In one excerpt, McElhone describes giving birth to her son Rex in October 2009, writing to Kelly, "I've come into hospital to be induced... I'm willing this little soul to come out. I'm dying to meet him and hold him in my arms, give him big kisses from you wherever you are. I know you are with me, angel, around me, in me. Even though you're dead, these genes, these cells of yours are multiplying. You are still growing - you have flouted all the rules, oh how I love you for that!"
She later details events such as Halloween with their three kids, and tells Kelly all about their new baby: "He's here and perfect. I am so sorry you're missing this. Our little boy is utterly divine."

NTSB Offers Recommendations After Metro North Derailment
The National Transportation Safety Board is out with a pair of recommendations, following December's deadly Metro North train derailment.
The agency said Metro North should install video cameras in train cabs, facing both inwards and outwards. The NTSB also suggested installing permanent signs where speed is restricted.
"There's nothing novel or hi-tech about cameras facing inward and outward," Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal said. "There's nothing particularly expensive about it. It should be standard operating equipment."
Four people were killed on December 1, when a Metro North train derailed in the Bronx north of the Spuyten Duyvil station. The train was going 82 mph into a turn where speed is restricted to 30 mph.
"It seemed highly likely that the accident was caused by a train conductor who nodded off at the controls," said New York Senator Chuck Schumer.

Former assistant coach McQueary files whistleblower suit against Penn State
Mike McQueary, the former Penn State assistant football coach who reported seeing Jerry Sandusky naked in a shower with a young boy in 2001, filed a whistleblower suit Tuesday against the university claiming he was terminated because he cooperated with prosecutors from the Attorney General's Office.
His suit, which includes claims of defamation and misrepresentation, seeks a minimum of $4 million.
Sandusky, 68, Penn State's former defensive coordinator, is awaiting sentencing on his conviction for abusing 10 boys in and around the Penn State campus over 15 years.
He is scheduled for sentencing Tuesday in Bellefonte and is expected to receive a sentence that will keep him in prison for the rest of his life.
McQueary's testimony before a grand jury was key not only to charges against Sandusky but also to the attorney general's charges against former Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and retired Vice President Gary Schultz.
The two, who maintain their innocence, are awaiting trial for perjury and failure to report McQueary's charges against Sandusky.
In a complaint filed in Centre County Court, McQueary complained that former Penn State President Graham Spanier's comments supporting Schultz and Curley defamed him because they suggested he lied to authorities.
McQueary, who collected a base salary of $140,400 a year as an assistant coach, was placed on administrative leave in November shortly after Sandusky was arrested. He claims he was the only assistant coach not interviewed to keep his job when Bill O'Brien took over as head coach in January.
He said Penn State's order barring him from all football facilities during his leave left him "ostracized and isolated" from colleagues and friends who had been part of his life for 20 years.
McQueary said he learned he was terminated when Penn State President Rodney Erickson announced it at a televised news conference on July 5.
University officials declined to comment on the lawsuit, but in the summer they said McQueary's employment ended on June 30 when his contract expired.
Neither McQueary nor his attorney Elliot Strokoff could be reached for comment.
Testifying at Sandusky's criminal trial, McQueary recounted how he told Curley and Schultz he had seen Sandusky naked in a sexual position with a child in a shower, assuming they would act on his report.
"I don't think I've done anything to not have that job," he testified, when asked about his position at the school.

Beginning in the early 1900's, dairy farming became the principal industry of the area. Across from the playground resides Dinsmore Elementary School that was built in 1953, and the School Board leased land for the playground to Duval County in 1956, at a time when there were no public parks in Dinsmore. Currently, there is a joint-use agreement for the playground between the City and the School Board. The Dinsmore Neighborhood Civic Association has taken an active interest in the area's recreational facilities through the years, and worked with the City in making improvements to the playground.

Everything in its Place
Jim O'Rourke Explains the Ascent of Copper Mountain
By Kevin Michael Grace
2010 Vancouver Mining Forum Special
In mining, Jim O'Rourke is the embodiment of "been there, done that." He's worked all round the world, with junior miners and companies as big as Placer and Newmont, and he has served with the Mining Associations of BC and Canada. So when O'Rourke, now CEO of Copper Mountain Mining Corporation, speaks at Canaccord's 2010 Vancouver Mining Forum, October 14, he will bring a wealth of experience second to none.
The Copper Mountain Mine, which is scheduled to go into production next year, is located 15 kilometres south of Princeton, BC. The mine, which is 75% owned by CMMC and 25% by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, has a 2009 NI 43-101 measured and indicated resource of 3.2 billion pounds copper, with 1.8 billion pounds inferred. There are currently 360 employees on site, with long-term employment calculated at 260 jobs. O'Rourke notes, however, that these figures "don't include any of the services, such as trucking of concentrate to Vancouver or the handling of it there."
When asked about the steps that led to Copper Mountain's success, O'Rourke has a checklist. No. 1: Low political risk. "The mayor of Princeton is thrilled and has strongly endorsed our project," O'Rourke relates. "The local area has been strongly supportive as well. In May, we had a Family Day, and about 680 people showed up. The Minister of Mines and the Speaker of the House both gave speeches."
No. 2: Low technical risk. O'Rourke explains the mine was first operated in 1927, closed and then reopened by Newmont. He says, "I was president of Princeton Mining when we bought it from them in 1988 and ran it until 1996." A decade later, "We thought it still had potential and raised about $5 million privately and immediately started drilling. We did a 40,000-metre drill program and that confirmed the continuity of mineralization between the existing pits and also the continuity of mineralization at depth. And that gave us what we call our superpit. In 2007, we went public."
O'Rourke continues, "The current mine plan is for 35,000 tonnes a day, which is just over a million pounds a month, and we have a 17-year mine plan. That will produce about 105 million pounds of copper for the first 12 years."
In addition, "We have good growth potential. We have a claim block of about 18,000 acres [7,300 hectares] and we have excellent exploration potential on site, which we are following up. In 2007, we contracted with a company to do the Titan 24 Deep Earth imaging program over our site. They took an area about 3.5 kilometres square, laid electrical cables on the ground and introduced electricity into them. There was high chargeability, and this has given us excellent targets both under pit and also in other areas of the deposit."
I think in the short term the supply of copper is going to be very tight —Jim O'Rourke
No. 3 on his checklist: A product that is readily saleable. O'Rourke elaborates, "I think in the short term the supply of copper is going to be very tight. A lot of the forecasts are in the $3 dollar range for the next 10 to 12 years. Our feasibility study is based on $1.80 per pound. It's a question of supply and demand. Global consumption rises about 3% a year. You have copper going into energy-saving devices, like hybrid and electric cars. Meanwhile, China is growing in leaps and bounds. They are building a substantial number of power plants every week, and that takes copper."
He continues, "With regard to the existing mines there's been deterioration. As they grow older, their grades and production decrease. We see this to a large extent in Chile, and this is putting a squeeze on supply."
No. 4: Existing permits, good management, a skilled workforce and a partially developed infrastructure.
O'Rourke is not ashamed to admit that No. 5 is "good luck. Everything's fallen into place favourably and allowed us to move forward quickly."

About the Book
Book Summary
The Immune System, Third Edition emphasizes the human immune system and synthesizes immunological concepts into a comprehensible, up-to-date, and reader-friendly account of how the immune system works.
Written for undergraduate, medical, veterinary, dental, and pharmacy students in immunology courses, it makes generous use of medical examples to illustrate points.
The Third Edition has been extensively revised and updated and includes two new chapters on innate and adaptive immunity, which explore the physical, cellular, and molecular principles underlying these responses to infection. It also features enhanced coverage of aspects of innate immunity such as the complement system, Toll-like receptors, defensins, and C-reactive protein; the role of dendritic cells in initiating the primary adaptive immune response and the functions of other cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity; immunotherapies using humanized monoclonal antibodies to treat certain diseases; and the nature of the immune response in the mucosal tissues and immunological memory. The book offers over 500 full-color illustrations that complement and clarify the concepts. The end-of-chapter questions have been expanded and include essay, multiple-choice, and case study questions, with answers provided at the end of the book.
- Question Bank: features over 500 essay and multiple choice questions and includes detailed answers to all questions.
- Lecture outlines from the book's concept heads are available in PowerPoint® format.
- Completely updated throughout.
- Chapter 2: Innate Immunity. Presents expanded coverage of innate immunity before discussion of adaptive immunity. Aspects of innate immunity such as Toll-like receptors, defensins, and C-reactive protein are explored.

JERUSALEM (Nov. 11)
The next President of Israel will not be chosen until the end of the 30-day period following Dr. Weizmann's death during which a new President must be named under Israeli law, it was indicated in informed political circles today.
It was pointed out that the Presidency will be decided upon at the same time as the current Cabinet "crisis" is solved by the expansion or other form of stabilization of the government coalition. This problem is not expected to be solved in less than the next month.
A number of names have been put forward unofficially for the Presidency, but none of the parties has made any official decision nor, as far as can be learned, made an approach to any other party on the matter. Prominent among those being discussed are Joseph Sprinzak, Acting President and Speaker of the Knesset, a leader of the Mapai Party. A second possible choice is said to be Dr. Pinchas Rosen, leader of the centrist Progressive Party.
Also mentioned by some newspapers as possible choices for the Presidency are Dr. Moshe Smoira, Chief Justice of the Israel Supreme Court; Dr. Nahum Goldmann, co-chairman of the Jewish Agency executive; and Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett. It is suggested that if Mr. Sharett is elected President. Abba Eban, Israel delegate to the United Nations, might be named Foreign Minister.

Penrith is a great place for a short break if you're interested in the outdoors and some of the scenery that's accompanied by it. The hotels will leave you in high hopes after witnessing the views for yourself.
The Macdonald Leeming House is located within 22 acres of beautiful grand gardens in Cumbria. It's one of the area's finest 4 star hotels which has been in business for over 200 years. This hotel gives you direct access to the shores of Ullswater which is one of the reasons it's so popular for family holidays and weddings.
Set in its own beautiful landscaped grounds with some amazing views including that of the Eden Valley, and the Lakeland Fells, overlooking the busy market town of Penrith. The location is great as it's in a very secluded area but only a few minutes from the A66 and M6.
Winner of the Cumbria tourism awards in 2010 the North Lakes Hotel and Spa will leave you stunned with the sights of the scenery. Having been open for nearly 30 years the North Lakes Hotel is a perfect destination for a short break. The hill walks are fantastic and is great for the lovers of the great outdoors.Buy tickets

...and Holly's right//...........every time I feel like dropping out,
I read someone's Effort to overcome an Injury and I keep on Pluggin'..
'...of course I was never That Bright to begin with.......
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
Some great runs today.
It's Family Day here to and although I work for a private company the salaried workers are off. so ran late today, felt great...short run. Other than cleaning up and helping Pam find work here as she has to live out of town where she works until we find something here..ugh...anyway Girls and I had a great weekend. We ate everything all the ice cream cake and now feel fat so went out and bought a ton of healthy food, veggies, and fruits and so on...so will be careful now.
Surprising how hard it is to not drink anymore due to the AFIB...not easy, as I sometimes hear a glass of red wine call my name.
Have a great day everyone...back to work tomorrow.
Recent Best times: None recently
I managed 2 miles on the treadmill before I gave in. I tell ya, work has just worn me down and I seem to have a low tolerance to stress. I got word on a big monthly fine for our company if the project I am working on isn't done by the end of March. I don't know if it is possible because I don't know the full extent of the work. Apparently the account exec made the deal with the client in order to keep the business. What used to be a challenge now sucks the life out of me.
I swear on the head of my John Calvin bobble head doll that I will find a new job when this is over.
(In a week from now, I'll figure out some way to get it done and I'll go back on my promise because in the end, it is easier to just keep doing the same old thing.)
And so it goes
I'm one who doesn't post here when I DO run.... I dunno, so hard to keep up with everyone's goings and comings.... but know that I think about all of you often, during all my miles...
Byll, I liked that list. Nothing there that I didn't already know, but it's good to be reminded of the mistakes we all tend to make. Thanks.
9.47 miles today, my first hard workout of the hill phase in my training. After a mile and a half warmup, I did this high knees springing run up a shortish hill in my town, jogged a bit of recovery at the top, then sprinted (the best I could) down the other side. Jogged a bit more to finish out the block, turned around and did the same thing up and down the other side. Then lather-rinse-repeat a third time. Since this was only my first time with the hill workout, I only had three of these to do today, so I finished out the rest of my miles running (normally) up and down some other neighborhood hills. Looking at my splits now, I see my quarter mile hill was a bit shorter than I realized, and my recoveries were quite longer than I had planned. Oops, oh well... I get to do this workout all over again on Friday, including some flat strides in between each hill set, so hopefully I'll get the distances right then. Heh, guess I created a new mistake for the list, botching the workout!
Have a great day, everyone.

Yeah, me too.
Tthanks for the Amos (Amy) update. Tet. In addition to her other credits, I'm pretty sure she has a BQ in all 50 states, but kinda of like Larry Macon, she is so modest she will never talk about her achievements. You can't really even drag them out of her. She seems to only want to talk about you.
King of PhotoShop
OM, that springing workout you did is pure Lydiard. Good for you, good for your coach. Spareribs
What divechief said about Amy. Never a self-possessed thought. Thanks.
And Tet, thanks for you contribution too. Great recollections.
One more Aamos story and I will leave this alone. I had a bunch of people at the house that weekend, so I braised a bone-in pork loin, and of course I had browned it first, then simmered it covered, herbs, onions, the right way.
So just before dinner, I take the roast out of the cast iron pot to do other stuff with it, and she's right on my shoulder and says, "Are you sure this is done?"
Straight face. I laughed my ass off. I love that woman. Spareribs
i miss Amy also.
My memory of her is she ran right by my side for my first marathon. I ran Seattle R&R, she and her husband flew out for the wknd. She wanted to run this one just for fun and even though I'm sure my 4:46 time and all the walking I had to do during the last 7 or so miles was painful for her (because she is capable of running SO much faster), she stuck by my side and walked when i walked, ran at my snail pace, chatted when I wanted to chat and just ran side by side when I needed it. I really enjoyed getting to know her that weekend and am ever so thankful for spending way more time out in that hot sun with me that day then she needed to.
short run for me today - just a couple miles on the trails with the dogs. spent most of the day scouring all of So. Oregon for a couple types of used vehicles we are in the market for, researching, reading reviews, crunching numbers, etc. I'll be so glad when this stupid process is over and we have a new-to-us vehicle.
Oddly enough, I was just thinking about Amy the other day and wondering where she'd wandered off to. Hope she sticks her head back in here sometime. She's a real gem of a human being.
JLynne - Pool running ain't for sissies. Keep up the good work.
Dave59- Good luck with the project. Hope it doesn't drive you too crazy. I tend to get real cranky when I'm stressed . . . .
Tet - No, I won't run the Mt. Hood 100 this year over Headlands 50. First, I've already paid for Headlands. Second, I'm not ready for a 100. My goal is to get through these two upcoming 50-milers with no pacer since you have to run the first 50 of a 100 miler without one. If I can run both Mt. Hood 50 and Headlands 50 and survive, then I think I'll be ready for a 100 next year. We'll see. Every time I think about it, I get a bit lightheaded.
4 very EZ miles for me this a.m., followed by some transcription work, then sitting on my butt the rest of the day. The Hub got up at 2:00 a.m. to begin working on two 6.25-lb pork butts that he smoked all day. Went on at 5:00 a.m., and we got to chow down on pulled pork sandwiches at 6:00 p.m. Oh my, he did a good job!! (Now go get some sleep, honey.)
Okay - gotta go find three 4-legged, hairy creatures and get them inside so I can go to bed.
Later, Dudes and Dudettes ~
Leslie Living and Running Behind the Redwood Curtain -------------
Trail Runner Nation
Is anyone running the cowtown marathon next weekend? I think ribs might have said he is? anyway, that will be Larry Macon's 1000th lifetime marathon. he's in the guiness book, for the last 3 or 4 years, he has been running over 100 official marathons a year. He is a back of the packer, if an early start is offered he will take it. You will hear his booming voice long before you see him, but if you cross paths with him, give him a hearty congrats,
MM#209 / JapanJoyful#803
Sounds like a good idea. Good luck Leslie.
This was a special day wasn't it
Henry the Great: "I'm going to keep running as long as I can."
T. Igarashi (summiting Mt. Fuji at age 100): "Enjoy yourself. Your younger days never come again."

Twocat - that's why I generally don't race in the winter. The cold just sucks the speed (what little there is) right out of me.
(((Dave59))) I seem to walk that fine line as well, Erika too.
Here's Amy at my first Boston. What a special lady...
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Holly - what memories this picture brings back. Henry is in the white hat at the Olympic trials in Boston. Thanks for posting
Trails are hard!
This was the US Women's Olympic trails, right? And I'm right behind Henry. My first RA meetup, (although was it CR at that point?). I'd also like to chime in on the AAmos lovefest--spent a nice while chatting with her and DH Daniel (who is yet another outstanding person) at one of Robin's get-togethers. And she is also a Red Sox fan. How can you go wrong?
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

The best example: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, one of the six major Hollywood studios, recently acquired the Cloud Ten Pictures library of faith-based films. Among Cloud Ten titles on DVD are the two Left Behind films, starring Kirk Cameron, the action film Revelation and the Burt Reynolds starrer Waterproof.
The target audience, says Cloud Ten CEO Peter Lalonde, is the country's "80 million evangelicals who not only want their values reflected in public policy, they want them reflected in mainstream entertainment as well."
Sony's Suzanne White agrees. "The Christian market is one of many important niche groups eager to have programming that reflects their social values," she says. "Besides serving an important cultural need, it's also good business."
But the DVD industry as a whole remains very diverse. Showtime Home Entertainment, for instance, is reporting strong sales for The L Word, the controversial lesbian drama series starring Jennifer Beals.
The series is "the biggest hit to date for Showtime Home Entertainment," spokesman David Bowers says. "The election has not affected us at all."

Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat (1941) – Cartune Theatrical Series
From Walter Lantz' Cartune series, "Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat" is one of the cartoons that is a victim of it's times, and is not shown anymore for fear of offending viewers ~
Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat (1941) – Cartune Theatrical Series
Lazytown (population 123½) is a sleepy Southern burg along the banks of the Mississippi that's home to some outrageously stereotyped blacks. Everyone is lazy here- even the fish! The all-black townspeople nap and attract flies. They fall asleep in the middle of fistfights, and the dogs don't have the energy to chase the cats. A riverboat pulls up at the dock, and a jazzy young lady from Harlem steps off. She starts looking around Lazytown. Needless to say, the men come to life. The sexy young lady teaches the locals about hot rhythm, singing the swinging title tune. The black mamas are scrubbing their kids, and they get into the swing of it. A washerwoman becomes confused when she hears the singer, and her scrubbing becomes frantic.
A boy bites into a huge slice of watermelon. A number of musicians take up the melody, and an old man with a cane becomes activated by the music. Soon, everyone's moving to a Harlem boogie beat, dancing, scrubbing clothes and eating watermelon. The town has come to life, and swings so much that even the underwear climbs out of the washtub to dance. The ship's captain sounds the whistle and yells "All aboard!" to indicate that the ship is about to depart. The pretty lady gets back on the boat, leaving Lazytown a jumping place.

I'm old enough, alas, to remember the days of black-and-white television. What a thrill it was when we finally got our first color TV (its immediate successor, I believe, was still in the basement of my frugal parents' house until recently). Suddenly, the world on our small screen sprang to life, and Captain Kangaroo, the Lone Ranger and Lassie seemed to pop right out into our living room.
For travelers, I've come to think, history is a lot like getting color television. Sure, you can visit a place and see the sights, dine at the restaurants and buy your souvenirs. But without the history, it's like visiting a place in black and white. One destination is hard to tell from the next (much as on our old TV, the Lone Ranger, whom I later discovered was clad in powdery blue, looked an awful lot like the dun-costumed Rifleman with a mask). The place has no character because you don't know how it came to be that way. It's just a collection of buildings, as flat and dull as the Hollywood sets so many of my favorite shows were shot on.

Death at an Early Age
by Jonathan Kozol
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I think the subtitle says it all; a nonfiction account of a first-time fourth grade teacher in a less than stellar school system in Roxbury, Massachusetts. "They had desks and a teacher, but they really did not have a class" (p 29). While Kozol is talking about a physical space (he had to share a large auditorium with three, sometimes four other activities (including drama and band practices), I really think he was also referring to the lack of togetherness as a group. There wasn't a sense of community. There wasn't a unified eagerness to learn. Nothing bound them to the reason they were there. This is to say nothing of the lack of support Kozol received as an educator from his peers and administration. He was constantly criticized for the amount of time, resources and energy he gave to "the Negro student." Death at an Early Age is a continuous report of the different instances of abuse and neglect the students endured, culminating with Kozol's unjustified dismissal after the inclusion of a Langston Hughes poem, "The Landlord."
A hero of education. Too bad we can't listen to him and his kind to get something going with regard to education in this country. When will we ever learn that improving the lives of the least fortunate through authentic education is the answer to most ofl
This book is as much about people's ability to deceive themselves as it is about conditions in the Boston Public Schools for black children during the 1960s. I enjoyed the psychological profiles of the Reading Teacher and the school superintendent and members of the school committee.
The experiences of a young idealistic teacher in the Boston Public school system. This was one of the books that influenced my decision to become a teacher; it is powerfully written, sure in its assumptions, and often hits the nail on the head. It is a heartbreaking book to read in some ways, especially to see how the black students in the system were so subject to a policy of benign neglect designed to make them acceptive of their lot in life, or at least desirous of bettering themselves without rocking the boat.

To The Editor:
Yesterday, Oct. 8, the Yes on Prop B Bus Tour rolled through Washington spreading its message of the importance of saving lives and investing in our state's education by increasing Missouri's tobacco tax, which is currently the lowest in the country.
The school bus tour is a part of Show-Me A Brighter Future's campaign in support of a 73-cent tobacco tax increase in Missouri.
Washington is one of 20 to see the bus during its trip through the state to emphasize Proposition B's enormous benefits for Missouri public schools and universities.
Prop B would generate $283 million annually in new revenue for Missouri. Eighty-percent of that money would be dedicated to elementary, secondary and university education, and the other 20 percent would fund much-needed smoking cessation and prevention programs to keep our kids from ever starting the deadly habit.
Some argue that this only affects low-income families; however, statistics show that tax increases result in more low-income smokers to quit smoking than higher income. Statistics also show tax increases do prevent our youth from ever starting which is the most important. We have the power to reduce smoking in Missouri and to provide new funding for our public schools, colleges and universities.
When you see the Yes on Prop B Bus in your town, come on out to show your support. And on Nov. 6, vote yes on Prop B and help save lives and invest in education for our families.

text: World 9 September 2009 Ayran with my meatballs Caught between east and west, Izmir is a city of contradictions Sign up for our weekly email * The imam shoos me away from the steps of the mosque in Izmir's teeming bazaar. I'm baffled. I've taken my shoes off, I am dressed appropriately and I am in Izmir - the most secular city in Turkey. Yet I am being turned away for being a "Christian"? "No, no," says an English speaker, who steps out of the crowd around the steps. "It is not because you are Christian. A German film crew is coming and he doesn't want anyone in there during the interview. He says come back in an hour." How Turkish, and how typical of a country that is balanced awkwardly between west and east, Mammon and Islam, Europe and Asia -- a country that has an Islamist government in Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP administration, yet is a key US regional ally. The mosque is just one of seven in the old Turkish quarter of a once predominantly Greek city that was known since antiquity as Smyrna, until it was burnt down by Mustafa Kemal's (later Ataturk) Turkish nationalists in 1922. The state Ataturk built following victory was fiercely nationalist; 1.5m Greeks left after the war (400,000 Turks made the journey the other way). It was also fiercely secular and its military supporters remain so. The overwhelming psychical power of those supporters was on display at this August's Victory Day (over the Greeks). Izmir's famous Kordon -- the wide seafront boulevard where 500,000 desperate refugees were caught between the flames and nationalist troops in 1922 -- filled with tanks and F16s thundered in from the Aegean as if they were invading their own country. An open threat to the government, or simply a display of national pride? Whichever, this is a country that, 86 years after independence, still battles against and for contending versions of both its history and its future. Turkey's contradictions are well illustrated at the kofte restaurant next door to the mosque. Half a mile away on Izmir's main shopping streets I can drink ice-cold beer alongside girls in low-cut tops and high heels, who have just spent thousands of Turkish lira in one of the city centre boutiques. But here, in the shadow of the mosques, I must have ayran, cola or tea with my meatballs. The owner, Hassan, sits to talk. The ethnic separation of Greek and Turk continued into the 1950s, when his mother and father left Thessaloniki (Ataturk's birthplace) for Izmir. Until last year, his mother had not been allowed to return to visit her family, but permission finally came through. A small thaw in the ice between Greek and Turk. Hassan snorts, amused. Why? "She's seventy-five. She no longer has the energy to go." The next day, I read the following remarks from the chief of the general staff, General Ilker Basbug: "The basic principles of the Turkish Republic will live forever together with its nation, country and the nation's love for Ataturk."
