U.S. exports of distillate fuel reached a monthly record of 1.4 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in July, and averaged more than 1.3 million bbl/d during third-quarter 2013 (September is the last month for which export data are available). This level is up 30% from 1.0 million bbl/d during third-quarter 2012 and from 0.3 million bbl/d during that period in 2007 (Figure 1).
Continuing growth in global distillate consumption has encouraged exports, which have supported high levels of U.S. refinery runs and increased backwardation (when future prices are lower than prompt prices) during the past two summers on the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex) heating oil futures curve.
Global distillate demand, which the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects to be 27.0 million bbl/d in 2013 (measured as gasoil/diesel demand, a category similar to EIA's distillate fuel), has been a key component of the growth in global liquid fuels demand following the 2008-09 global recession. After declining briefly in 2009, gasoil/diesel demand will have increased 2.4 million bbl/d (10%) from 2009 through year-end 2013, according to the IEA. Almost all of this growth was driven by economic expansion in the emerging economies of the non-OECD countries. Distillate fuel use tends to be highly correlated with economic growth, especially in manufacturing. Despite strong global growth, U.S. distillate consumption slumped in recent years, with 2012 annual consumption at 3.7 million bbl/d, a 460,000-bbl/d decline from 2007. Distillate consumption declined as a result of fewer heavy-duty truck miles traveled, along with fuel efficiency gains in the rail and marine vessel fleets. U.S. distillate consumption rose modestly during the first three quarters of 2013 and is expected to average 90,000 bbl/d more for full-year 2013 than in 2012.
This global distillate demand growth has helped support U.S. refinery runs. U.S. refiners increased distillate exports in recent years partly because of the smaller domestic distillate market; however, exports have increased by more than demand has declined, and even with modest U.S. demand growth in 2013, exports have continued to increase. Increased distillate exports reflect the competitive advantage of U.S. Gulf Coast refiners, which have supplied almost 80% of U.S. distillate exports during the first nine months of 2013.
Among Gulf Coast refiners' competitive advantages are the region's access to competitively priced natural gas and crude oil inputs; significant coking capacity to produce more high-value products from a barrel of crude; and easy access to Latin American markets, which are short of distillate fuel. On the back of these advantages, U.S. refinery gross inputs averaged 16.3 million bbl/d during third-quarter 2013, with inputs exceeding 16.5 million bbl/d for the week ending July 12, the highest of any week since 2005. Likewise, refinery utilization has averaged almost 88% in 2013, up from an average of 86% for the five previous years.
Increasing global demand for distillate fuel has also changed the term structure of the Nymex heating oil futures curve, which has shifted incentives away from holding inventory and toward exporting. When the global call on U.S. distillate fuel was smaller than it is today, the term structure of the Nymex heating oil futures was heavily influenced by the heating-related winter increase in distillate demand in the U.S. Northeast. During the summer, when refineries ramp up runs to supply increased driving-related demand for gasoline, heating oil demand is lower. Without a strong demand pull from export markets, the additional production of distillate during the summer months had no immediate market and the futures curve would typically move into strong contango (when future prices are higher than prompt prices), encouraging inventory building to meet winter demand.
As global distillate demand has grown and exports of distillate from the United States have increased, and as U.S. consumption of heating oil has decreased, the seasonality of the U.S. distillate market has waned. Demand for distillate outside the United States has little seasonality. This decreased seasonality of the distillate market has flattened the Nymex heating oil futures curve. For 2012 and 2013, on trading days from June through August, the average spread between the first contract and the fourth contract was -2 cents per gallon and -1 cent per gallon, respectively. For the previous five years, that spread averaged -7 cents per gallon. The reduced spread indicates that it is more economical to sell refinery production promptly, either into the export market or for domestic consumption, rather than to hold it in inventory for future consumption. Accordingly, inventories of distillate fuel have been at or near the bottom of the five-year range since mid-2012 (Figure 2).
The extent to which U.S. distillate exports will continue to grow depends on several factors, perhaps the most important of which is the pace of global refinery capacity expansions. About two-thirds of U.S. distillate exports during the first nine months of 2013 were to Central and South America and Mexico. That share is similar to the same period in 2007, as these regions have been short of distillate fuel. If refinery capacity expands as planned over the next several years, either in Latin America or in other regions such as the Middle East, U.S. refiners could face increasing competition in distillate export markets. However, in the short term, the competitive advantages of Gulf Coast refiners should continue to support their current strong position within the global market.
Gasoline prices decrease while diesel fuel increases
The U.S. average retail price of regular gasoline decreased two cents to $3.27 per gallon as of December 2, 2013, 12 cents lower than last year at this time. Prices rose two cents on the West Coast to $3.48 per gallon, and less than a penny on the East Coast to remain at $3.39 per gallon, while falling in all other regions of the nation. The largest decrease came in the Midwest, where the price decreased seven cents to $3.12 per gallon. In the Rocky Mountains the price was $3.11 per gallon, a drop of three cents from last week, and the Gulf Coast price was two cents lower at $3.12 per gallon.
The national average diesel fuel price increased four cents to $3.88 per gallon, 14 cents lower than last year at this time. Prices increased in all regions of the nation, with the largest increase coming in the Midwest, where the price was up five cents to $3.88 per gallon. The East and West Coast prices both were up four cents, to $3.91 per gallon and $4.00 per gallon, respectively. On the Gulf Coast the price was $3.78 per gallon, a gain of three cents, and the Rocky Mountain price rose two cents to $3.86 per gallon.

Ever wanted to get in your Vette and just let 'er rip, to go as fast as you could in a straight line, no holds barred?
Art Barrera has. He purchased an '07 Z06 new five years ago and "drove it around" for a couple of years, just enjoying it. Then the high-speed fun started. Barrera got involved with the Texas Mile, and that's where we met him earlier this year. The place was Chase Field, outside the small town of Beeville.
Vettes were all over the place. We saw a highly modified midyear run about 150 mph, and spoke with a C6 ZR1 owner who said he'd hit 171 mph. (He further claimed he'd seen other stock ZR1s top out in the low 180s.) As with most motorsports, weather conditions played a big role in determining the cars' ultimate performance.
We struck up a conversation with Arnold Schoech, owner of Arnold's Vettes, who told us his C6 Z06 had run 197.6 mph at the event the previous October. This time around he was helping his friend Barrera run flat-out in his own Z06. The two were expecting to hit the magic 200-mph mark, thanks to a few horsepower modifications.
"We added about 80 hp over my Vette, so right now Art's car is running 750 [hp] at the rear wheels," Schoech informed us, adding that the car had already posted a 191-mph run earlier in the day.
Schoech popped the hood to reveal a near-show-quality engine compartment. Lines from a Nitrous Express system were one indication of the car's potential, but other than that, the LS7 didn't appear that far from stock.
"We added forged pistons, a camshaft, and the nitrous, plus we milled the heads for about 12.1 compression," Schoech said.
The transmission and differential remained unchanged, though the car had been lowered and sports a set of Pfadt shocks.
Schoech has considerable experience with Corvettes at the Mile. He says stock Z06s tend to run about 165 mph, while stock ZR1s are around 10 mph faster. As speed increases each additional mph takes more horsepower than the previous one. He has come to believe that a C6 Corvette needs an extra 250 hp to bump its standing-mile terminal velocity from 190 to 200 mph.
Taping the body helps with aerodynamics. The advantage comes from preventing air from rushing into the openings between the fiberglass panels. Simply put, a smooth body has less drag.
Schoech confirmed this, adding that, "Air under the hood will also cause the front end to raise a little bit."
Tires are another important consideration. We noticed that the ones on Barrera's Vette were of a road-racing design and had no tread pattern. Although fitted to the stock 18-/19-inch (front/rear) wheels, they were sized about 20mm wider than the factory rubber.
Inside, the driver seat had been replaced with a Corbeau bucket fitted with a Simpson shoulder harness. (The passenger seat remained stock.) Barrera wore a helmet and a full racing suit for his pass. He sat behind the wheel, looking straight ahead, unable to turn his head to hold a conversation as he waited his turn to approach the starting line.
With the rear hatch open, we could see the Pfadt four-point rollbar and the nitrous bottle. Other than that--and the aero-enhancing tape--the car didn't look that much different from stock. And yet here was Barrera, poised to bust the 200-mph barrier in a scant 5,280 feet.
The next run proved a disappointment, as the lights flashed 176 mph at the end of the mile. Back in the pits, we learned the reason why: a nitrous solenoid had failed, preventing the car from getting a full dose of the power-enhancing gas. While Schoech fixed the mechanical glitch, Barrera explained why he went with nitrous as a power adder.
"Nitrous provides instant torque. A supercharger or turbo might build a lot of horsepower quickly, but the torque lags behind. You need a lot of torque to get to 200 mph." With the full 100hp shot of juice, the modified LS7's torque measured a massive 740 lb-ft at just over 5,000 rpm, a figure that would take an extreme build to match, blown or not. Using nitrous meant Barrera could keep his Z06 friendly on the street, yet potentially capable of a 200-mph blast in the Texas Mile.
And yet it was not to be. Over the course of the weekend, Barrera made a total of six runs, none of which yielded the desired result.
"There were three runs at 193.8, one run at 191, and the nitrous failed on two others," he told us. Still, Barrera is sure he'll top the magic 200-mph mark one day. For now, he wears a T-shirt that boasts of his membership in the "190+ MPH CLUB"--not bad for an '07 Z06 with a few mods and a shot of nitrous.

BEN LOMOND -- A coroner's examination determined Tuesday that a 26-year-old Soquel woman found dead in the San Lorenzo River was not a victim of homicide.
Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies identified Guadalupe "Lupe" Cortes as the woman who was found partially clothed about 3:30 p.m. near Highlands Park in Ben Lomond. She was identified by her fingerprints.
Authorities declined to say Tuesday how they believe Cortes died -- but it appeared less suspicious as the investigation continued.
"We won't talk about it until we know what we have," deputy April Skalland said.
Cortes' friends and co-workers said they were shocked and saddened by her death. Cortes worked in the deli at New Leaf Community Market on Fair Avenue in Santa Cruz.
"She was really outgoing and really friendly and into cheering people up," said Crystal Tanaka, assistant manager at New Leaf. "She was wonderful. We miss her very much, and it's very hard."

Authorities said Cortes went swimming with two men in the river near Highlands Park on Sunday afternoon. The men last saw her about 12:30 p.m.
About 9 a.m. Monday, one of the men reported her missing. Deputies said the men were acquaintances of Cortes, but declined to elaborate on their relationship or why they left her at the river.
Authorities found Cortes' green Jeep on Monday in a parking lot of the park at 8500 Highway 9. A Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team scoured the river and found Cortes' body about an eighth of a mile downstream from Highlands Park.
She was declared dead at the scene. More clothing was found in the river, deputies said.
Detectives interviewed several people who knew Cortes or saw her in the past few days.
"We have received calls from the public and we're grateful for that," Lt. Craig Wilson said.
Friends of Cortes, including Christina Agnone, described her as a friendly and caring person.
"She truly was a wonderful person," Agnone said. "I can't bring myself to believe (she) has been taken from us."
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information to call the investigations division at 831-454-2311 or the anonymous tipline at 831-454-5995.

We stopped by on the 5th, but the aerobatic show was canceled due to fog. We didn't mind too much as there were plenty of cool things to see on the ground. We also toured the museum, rode in a Model-A, ate some ice cream, and watched some of the performances.

Parkinson's Disease
Tardive Dyskinesia with Dystonic Features
I was diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia; I was weaned off of the medication that started it, I know take Baclofen 20 mg.x 4 for the ability to not have contractures of the hands and feet, and at a movement disorder clinic and a local though I do not think it has an effect on any of the symptoms, is Klonopin, I was on 1 mg. 3 times a day with 2 mg. at night. then i started taking it the Klonopin .05 mg. x 3 with 1 mg. at bedtime, it helps me a lot except that the dyskiensia of my hands are worsening, and a tremor is worsening in the hands too. However the muscle stiffness is more or less gone and minimal contract, have what my neurosurgeon said is a "rippling effect" of muscles in the calves of my legs, and is there any other suggestions for treating me other than what I am already taking? thank-you.
This question is beyond the scope of this forum for Parkinson's disease. Tardive dyskinesia and Parkinson's disease are not the same disorder.
Primary treatment for tardive dyskinesia is stopping the medication that caused it, and commonly there may be some worsening initially after stopping the agent. It can take several months before the symptoms start resolving.
Further, there is not specific medication treatment, but often trials of things such as clonazepam may be offered and allow for partial symptomatic relief. It is suggested you discuss your question and concerns further with your current health care providers.

Morning Es Trading
A funny thing happened on the way to Es 1550: The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes were released and buyers were force-fed the realization that the market's punchbowl might be yanked away well ahead of schedule. Given the widespread belief that our equity markets would be substantially lower without our friendly central bank backstop, it's only natural that participants would feel the sudden need to rejigger their portfolios at the first sign of a stingier Federal Reserve.

Deputies are on the hunt for a masked man who broke into a northeastern county home, pointed a gun at an elderly couple and threatened to kill them.
A couple was inside their residence on the 3500 block of Goodson Road near Pumpkin Center, reading their Bible around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, when a masked man dressed in all black entered the house, using a gun to demand money and prescription medication from the couple, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.
The "slender-built" man, also decked out in a ski suit, gloves and ski boots, grabbed some pills and fled the property into a nearby wooded area, deputies said. Before escaping, he told the couple he would kill them if they called 911, according to Lt. Tim Johnson, head of the Sheriff's Criminal Investigations Division.
"The gunman told the couple not to call the police for 15 minutes," he said in the release, "or he would come back and kill them. That gave the suspect a 30 minute head-start on the officers."
The elderly woman petitioned the gunman to read the Bible instead of commit crimes, the Sheriff's Office said.
Johnson noted that after the man fled, one of the residents first called family then alerted the Communications Center of the incident, quickly drawing deputies to the home.
A North Carolina Department of Corrections tracking dog searched the area for the masked man, leading deputies to a vehicle parked on Ivey Church Road, where they also unsuccessfully scoured a barn, the release said.
Deputies reminded residents to keep their burglar alarms activated at all times of the day.
"It's sad, but in today's society, it's not always safe to be in your own home with doors unlocked or open," Lt. Johnson said.
He said the couple did not have their alarm set or doors locked at the time of the alleged invasion.

Shane Warne will mentor Australia's spinners in an official capacity ahead of this year's World Twenty20.
The 44-year former Hampshire skipper and world record Test wicket-taker will join up with Australia's squad in March during their tour of South Africa.
Warne will be with the side for the three Twenty20 matches, which will act as a final preparation before flying to Bangladesh for the start of the World Twenty20 on March 16.
"I'm excited to be working with Australia's spinners in South Africa," Warne said.
"I'm looking forward to helping them with some intense bowling preparation ahead of the World Twenty 20, where we'll specifically work on tactics and mindset."
Coach Darren Lehmann has regularly sought former Australia players out to work with his squad since taking over in June.
Warne, who captained Hampshire between 2004-2007 inclusive, spoke with Australia's spinners during the summer's Ashes series in Manchester, while former right-armer Graham McKenzie helped lead a training session at the WACA Ground on Thursday ahead of the fourth one-day international against England.
"We believe our national teams can really benefit from more specific skill-based coaching as and when it is needed," he said.
"This will mean that from time to time we will enlist the support of experts in their craft to work with our players and share their experiences.
"In the case of the ICC World Twenty 20, we believe spin bowling will be critical to success. There's no better person than Shane to help guide the spinners we select in that squad.
"He was a gifted cricketer and remains passionate about spin bowling and seeing our players be the best that they can be. We're thrilled to have him on board."
Australia Twenty20 captain George Bailey welcomed Warne's appointment.
"I'm thrilled to have him on board as a spin coach, but I think he brings so much more to the table," said the man who appeared for Hampshire last summer.
"He'd be one of the leading thinkers on T20 in the world, tactically.
"He's highly respected by the group. I think it's a great appointment.
"Boof's (Lehmann) been really keen to get past greats and past players around the group.
"Garth McKenzie at training today was a real thrill for the boys. You can't get enough of it I don't think."
Bailey will captain a weakened Australia team in tomorrow's fourth one-day international against England in Perth after the starting XI was named a day early.
Michael Clarke, David Warner and Brad Haddin have been rested from the team that clinched the five-match series in Sydney on Sunday, while spinner Xavier Doherty has been left out.
Replacing them are Bailey, who has overcome a hip problem, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade and Mitchell Johnson.

Seijas And Nahuelpan-Bustamante Explore The Supernatural Side Of Jamaican Crime In 'Duppy '78' [Preview]
Between like half a dozen Paranormal Activity films and every 13th pretty vampire franchise, sometimes it seems like supernatural storytelling can get stagnant. Fortunately for those who enjoy the expertly researched and recontextualized horror of comic book greats like Shigeru Mizuki and Mike Mignola, the team of writer (and former CA contributor) Casey Seijas and artist Amancay Nahuelpan-Bustamante is willing to go the extra mile in their upcoming graphic novel, Duppy '78. Drawing from Caribbean and Rastafarian lore, the pair have worked to present a Jamaican crime story that may just define your take on the malevolent spirits known as "duppies" when it drops in February through Com.X.

Reviews of this property
nice and very private accomodation. beautiful see view. garden could be a bit more green and children focussed.
The property is peacefully located in the olive and orange groves of Michalis. It is small but cozy. Downstairs is a lovely garden to sit in, upstairs is a balcony, where you have a wonderful view of the White Mountains and the sea. We had the apartment above, but could also sit in the garden because there were no other guests downstairs. The only drawback from above, that the bank was a sofa bed, so you had to rebuild the still or had no seat. In the morning we were awakened by roosters crowing or bleating sheep: delicious nationwide! Still, we were near the main road, so very handy for all sorts of tours and near the beach.
Michalis and Anna are very friendly and we got on arrival a large bottle of homemade olive oil. We were also a nice eetadres brought close to what we had never found, but where we were received very warmly and ate delicious, with everything from free there and for so little money. We have been there 2 times and always been very warmly received.
De accommodatie is heerlijk rustig gelegen in de olijf- en sinaasappelboomgaard van Michalis. Het is klein, maar knus. Beneden is een heerlijke tuin om in te zitten, boven is een balkon, waar je een prachtig uitzicht hebt op de witte bergen en de zee. Wij hadden het appartement boven, maar konden ook in de tuin zitten, omdat er geen andere gasten beneden waren. Het enige nadeel van boven was, dat de bank een bedbank was, zodat je het steeds moest ombouwen of geen zitbank had. 's Morgens werden we gewekt door het hanengekraai of het schapengeblaat: heerlijk landelijk! Toch zaten we vlakbij de grote weg, dus heel handig voor allerlei tochten én vlakbij het strand.
Michalis en Anna zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en we kregen direct bij aankomst een grote fles eigengemaakte olijfolie. Ook werden we naar een leuk eetadres vlakbij gebracht, wat we zelf nooit hadden gevonden, maar waar we heel hartelijk werden ontvangen en heerlijk hebben gegeten, met van alles gratis erbij en voor zo weinig geld. We zijn er nog 2 keer geweest en werden steeds weer heel hartelijk ontvangen.
We had a very good time in "Ktima Tzamika". A quiet place in the middle of olive trees, close to a nice beach. Michalis and Anna are very kind and we spent interesting time with them. Thank you. Bettina and Sabine
We had a beautiful apartment, fantastic sunset and a lovely cat family. Thank you also for the olive oil and all the attention. Great sight to the olive trees and the sea, what is really near to the flat. We will never forget our vacation in Crete!
It was really very nice vacation. We came very late because our flight was delayed, but Michalis picked us up at 3 am from the main road. It was very appreciated. We felt here very very well - surrounded by sea, mountains and olives trees. We looked for calm and silence and this place was what we needed. I recommend this place for everyone who want to get away from crowd and bustle.
Great experience. The house is small but nice, with what may serve for a beach holiday. E 'surrounded by olive trees and a short distance from the sea. The photos reflect reality. Michail and Hannah are very kind, they did everything to make our holiday special and we were made to feel part of the family.
Ottima esperienza. La casa è piccola ma graziosa, dotata di quanto può servire per un soggiorno al mare. E' immersa negli ulivi e a breve distanza dal mare. Le foto rispecchiano la realtà.
Michail e Hannah sono gentilissimi, hanno fatto di tutto per renderci la vacanza speciale e ci hanno fatto sentire parte della famiglia.
Very pleaseant stay. Beautiful setting with views of mountains and rural landscape of olives and vines. Sandy and rocky shores in easy reach. Very warm welcome from Anna and Michail who were very generous with their time and own produce. Try the sheep's cheese from the farm across the road and, if you need it, get Anna to teach you how to make Greek coffee. The only negative aspect from our point of view was that the cooking facilities were a bit cramped.
Highly recommended.
These rooms are set in a beautiful location surrounded by olive trees, a car is needed to visit all the surrounding areas though the beach is only a ten minute stroll down a quiet road. Clean spacious accomodation with spectacular views. The hosts Michail and Anna are extremely hospitable and welcoming. I would recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful stay with a real feel of Crete.

Mount Vernon and Lee District Tax Relief Workshops
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Nov. 4, 2005
Mount Vernon and Lee Districts to
Host Tax Relief Workshop for Seniors
Mount Vernon District and Lee District seniors are invited to attend a workshop on how to apply for real estate tax relief on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the South County Government Center, 8350 Richmond Highway, Alexandria. Personnel from the county's Department of Tax Administration will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help eligible seniors apply for relief.
On Oct. 17, the Board of Supervisors approved an expansion of the Real Estate Tax Relief Program for the Elderly and Disabled. The change to this ordinance increases the net combined financial asset eligibility requirement from $240,000 to the state maximum of $340,000 for those who meet the age, disability and income requirements. The income limit also has been increased from $52,000 to the fixed state maximum of $72,000.
Fairfax County provides real estate tax relief to residents who are either 65 or older or who have permanent and total disabilities. The change in the ordinance is retroactive to all of tax year 2005. Existing applicants who have already been certified for some level of exemption do not need to reapply. The Department of Tax Administration will automatically review partial exemptions and adjust them as applicable for the second installment due in December.
Any applicable refunds associated with the 2005 first installment tax bill will be processed in December. The Department of Tax Administration also will re-examine any 2005 applications previously denied due to the existing income and asset limits. New applications will still have to be filed for the 2005 tax relief under the new limits, but the Board of Supervisors has extended the deadline to Dec. 31, 2006, for first-time applicants and for hardship circumstances.
For more information or to attend the workshop, please call Brett Kenney at 703-780-7518, TTY 711. Seniors looking for more information about real estate tax relief can call the Department of Tax Administration at 703-222-8234, TTY 703-222-7594, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Tax relief applications can be obtained online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dta/pdf_files/2005taxrelief.pdf, and an affidavit of disability, for those who need one, can be found at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dta/pdf_files/affidavitofdisability.pdf.


text: 24 October 2012 The real meaning of the "47 per cent" Why we shouldn't forget Romney's comment. Print HTML We have seen the last presidential debate for 2012 and while the second debate between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama may have already receded, as will this week's third debate, Americans ought to keep in mind something as they head to the polls in November: the real meaning of that infamous comment about 47 percent of us. Republican challenger Romney stuck his chin out in the closing moments of that second presidential debate just long enough for Obama, seeing the opening, to wind back a haymaker and clock him. The candidates had been asked what should have been an easy question -- something about how they would respond to distortions and misrepresentations of their character. Romney, perhaps eager to reclaim some of the ground taken from him by a president who (finally) came to play, said he's not as cold-blooded as he appears. "I care about 100 per cent of the American people. I want 100 per cent of the American people to have a bright and prosperous future. I care about our kids. I understand what it takes to make a bright and prosperous future for America again. I spent my life in the private sector, not in government. I'm a guy who wants to help with the experience I have." This was a direct reference to a secret video in which Romney said, during a dinner hosting millionaires, that 47 per cent of Americans are not worth appealing to because they consider themselves victims who won't take responsibility for their lives and who are dependent on the government for things like Social Security, food stamps, unemployment insurance, veteran's benefits and federal student loans, all of which citizens pay for in one way or another but that's not the point; the point is half of Americans want to seize the wealth of this country from those of us who earned it (well, they didn't earn it, though they earned interest on it). He said: "There are 47 per cent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 per cent who are with [Obama], who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect." Notice there's nothing in that video about caring. He doesn't talk about his emotions at all. Indeed, there are no emotions in his assessment people for whom he can't do much, because they don't pay many taxes and so don't see much value in his low tax agenda. But this is only one step in the evolution of the 47 per cent comment since September. Liberal pundits have also played a role by zeroing in on the fact that Romney disrespected and disparaged huge swathes of the electorate. To understand this, one has to understand the ideal of upward mobility in this country: anyone can succeed in America as long as you work hard, play by the rules and sacrifice a little. To suggest, as Romney does, that those who have worked hard, who have played by the rules and who have sacrificed more than a little are still bums -- well, that's the kind of shit-stain insult that may never wash out. The president knew this, and threw his hardest punch. "[W]hen [Romney] said behind closed doors that 47 per cent of the country considered themselves victims who refuse personal responsibility, think about who he was talking about. Folks on Social Security who've worked all their lives. Veterans who've sacrificed for this country. Students who are out there trying to hopefully advance their own dreams, but also this country's dreams. Soldiers who are overseas fighting for us right now. People who are working hard every day, paying payroll tax, gas taxes, but don't make enough." While I pumped my fist like every other liberal wishing that Obama would, for the love of God, just unload on this guy already, I also worry that we are forgetting something about Romney's original comment. Yes, that video was a liability that he may never overcome, but what's more important is what Romney's 47 per cent suggests for public policy. Remember that Romney made the following connection: those who don't pay income taxes feel they are entitled to welfare. There has been a lot said about this, especially that he is factually wrong. But that may be missing the point. I suspect that the point, for Romney and for his audience, was giving voice to a political rationale for "entitlement reform" and by that I mean, destroying social insurance programs like Social Security. Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, is the brains beyond the most recent Republican push to turn Medicare into a voucher program and turn Social Security into a Wall Street portfolio. "Voucher" means you'd get a check from the federal government for a set amount of money. Sounds great except that it won't cover the soaring cost of health insurance. You'd be on the hook for the rest. Social Security is a little more straightforward. Tell the young and restless that they can invest the money. Sounds good until another bubble bursts. Republicans have long sought these goals but always run into a problem: social insurance programs are very popular, and most attempts to tinker with them result in getting zapped, sometimes forever. One could say that George W. Bush never recovered from his bid to privatize Social Security. He had political capital to spend after 2004. He spent it, and then charged the rest of his term to the GOP's credit card. To get around this third rail, as it's called here, Republicans have capitalized on the federal deficit hysteria to make the argument that "entitlements" need reform. Recently the conservative narrative revamped the "welfare queen" trope that was so effective in the 1980s by suggesting that half of this country is made of makers and half is made of takers. If something isn't done, we're heading toward totalitarianism. I wish I were kidding. Romney's comment about 47 per cent of Americans has nothing to do with whether he cares. It was indeed insulting to those who do take responsibility for their own lives even if they don't owe income taxes. But more importantly, and more frightening, is that it suggests an attitude toward social insurance programs that millions depend on. › Justice for Mark Duggan demands that we change the law on intercept evidence Mitt Romney.

There's no specific test today that confirms you have Alzheimer's disease. Your doctor will make a judgment about whether Alzheimer's is the most likely cause of your symptoms based on the information you provide and results of various tests that can help clarify the diagnosis.
Doctors can nearly always determine whether you have dementia, and they can often identify whether your dementia is due to Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease can be diagnosed with complete accuracy only after death, when microscopic examination of the brain reveals the characteristic plaques and tangles.
To help distinguish Alzheimer's disease from other causes of memory loss, doctors now typically rely on the following types of tests.
Your doctor will perform a physical exam, and is likely to check your overall neurological health by testing your:
Blood tests may help your doctor rule out other potential causes of memory loss and confusion, such as thyroid disorders or vitamin deficiencies.
Your doctor may conduct a brief mental status test to assess your memory and other thinking skills. In addition, your doctor may suggest a more extensive assessment of your thinking and memory. Longer forms of neuropsychological testing may provide additional details about your mental function compared with others' of a similar age and education level.
Images of the brain are now used chiefly to pinpoint visible abnormalities related to conditions other than Alzheimer's disease — such as strokes, trauma or tumors — that may cause cognitive change. New imaging applications — currently used primarily in major medical centers or in clinical trials — may enable doctors to detect specific brain changes caused by Alzheimer's.
Brain-imaging technologies include:
Positron emission tomography (PET). During a PET scan, you'll be injected in a vein with a low-level radioactive tracer. The tracer may be a special form of glucose (sugar) that shows overall activity in various brain regions.
This can show which parts of your brain aren't functioning well. New PET techniques are able to detect your brain level of plaques (amyloid) and tangles (tau), the two hallmark abnormalities linked to Alzheimer's. However, these new PET techniques are generally found in research settings or in clinical trials.
Researchers are working with doctors to develop new diagnostic tools to help definitively diagnose Alzheimer's. Another important goal is to detect the disease before it causes the symptoms.
New tools under investigation include:
Genetic testing generally isn't recommended for a routine Alzheimer's disease evaluation. The exception is people who have a history of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. However, anyone with a family history of early Alzheimer's needs to meet with a genetic counselor to discuss the risks and benefits of genetic testing.

Founded in Germany in 1949, adidas has been a leader in footwear excellence for its entire existence. Established by Adolf Dassler, the company got its big break when Dassler became the first to sponsor an African American—Jesse Owens—in the 1936 Olympics, where Owens won four gold medals wearing Dassler's shoes. From then on, adidas were a favorite among some of the world's most famous sportsmen. While adidas wear has a sports connotation, it has been a fashion ideal since its beginning and has morphed into a street style statement.

Cuddyer takes swings, still a few weeks away
DETROIT -- Michael Cuddyer continues to nurse the left shoulder injury that has sidelined him since June 5. The veteran outfielder progressed to swinging off a tee on Friday.
Rockies manager Walt Weiss said that, if it was up to Cuddyer, he'd be in the lineup Friday night. But "he's still a few weeks away."
"I got a really good report about his work in the cage," Weiss said. "Everything's a go. We're going to start giving him more and more.
"He's on the road to recovery. He's on his way back."
Cuddyer was hitting .317 with an .866 OPS in 31 games before being injured.

As illustrated by the four cycles in the table below, there are identifiable patterns in each season -- perhaps not on the exact same day, but within a given window of time. And with these commodities, Mother Nature is clearly involved. For example, it would be very challenging for farmers in the Northern Hemisphere to start planting crops in the dead of winter and expect them to survive or for driving to be unaffected by bad road conditions in the winter. In addition, children's school schedules will continue to make it more difficult to go away on vacations.
But recognizing that commodities' cycles exist can offer you an advantage in selecting a market to trade. By using seasonal patterns, traders can anticipate future price movement based on historical data instead of being overwhelmed by fundamentals that is often very contradictory.
Once you identify a potential seasonal pattern, you must then decide how to formulate a trade. Following these three basic steps should put you on the right track:
Recognizing opportunities: By analyzing commodity charts and monitoring seasonal patterns traders can identify when a market may be poised for a move. We do not always know the catalyst for a market to move but we will have identified a potential trade and will have prepared our strategy to take advantage of this opportunity. You can always use charts to identify setups; however, the one thing we strive for in trading is to have confidence in our trades...an edge. By incorporating seasonal patterns with high % recurrence rates, it could assist in identifying viable trading ideas.
Choosing the appropriate strategy: Once identifying the opportunity traders must have a suitable strategy to implement. One cannot have a one size fits all mentality. Being that commodities have so much leverage and can be extremely volatile it is a good idea to be conscious of alternative trading techniques other than just an outright long or short futures trade. By incorporating spreads, by using a combination of options and futures there are endless options with a combination of the two instruments...no pun intended. Find a strategy that fits your risk tolerance and be just as concerned about the capital at risk as the potential profit potential.
Managing the trade: After selecting your trade and strategy, you must then have a plan on how you will manage this trade. Your plan should answer some of the following questions before you enter the trade. What is the expected duration of the trade? When does this seasonal pattern start and when does it end? What is my exit strategy if the trade goes in my favor or moves against me? Will this be an all-in/all-out trade or enter and exit by scaling your position? What is the maximum drawdown I can take before I throw in the towel?

Escaping sports seems impossible in my house. There's always some guy hitting, swinging at, throwing or dunking some sort of ball when it comes to weekend TV viewing. I figure if I can't beat 'em, then I can at least eat something yummy and pretend to feign interest. I couldn't think of anything that goes better than chips and dip, and boy have I got a surprise for you. We're not opening any packets in my house. Instead, we're slicing and sautéing some onions for a tasty treat. The prep is incredibly easy but the pay-off is priceless: homemade onion dip without the artificial aftertaste. The secret is caramelizing the onions. The rest is child's play—literally, the kids will have a blast pulsing the ingredients into a creamy dip worthy of any chip…or carrot stick.
Caramelized Onion Dip
Makes about 1 cup
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup 2% Greek yogurt
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute until they begin to soften and become golden, about 10 minutes. Cover skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, until onions are very tender, about 10 more minutes. Transfer onions, Stir, scraping up any browned bits at bottom of the pot, to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Add onions, sour cream and yogurt to the bowl of the food processor attachment on your Cuisinart Stand Mixer and pulse until well mixed and the onions are mostly, but not completely chopped. May be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.

From left are Shannon Hager, Karen Harris, Kevin Ferrell, Michelle Egnor, Linda White and Annie Toney. Chris Dorst Melisa Ferrell has reason to celebrate Friday. As of Friday morning, she has lost 123 pounds over the past year. Chris Dorst The Pound Punchers get ready to release balloons that represent how much weight they've lost. Chris Dorst Just after 5 p.m. on Friday, the balloons go up in the air beside the Mud River Fire Department. Chris Dorst (From left) Wes Hager, R.J. Ferrell, Shannon Hager, and Kevin and Melisa Ferrell share a hug after releasing 555 balloons to celebrate the loss of 555 pounds. "It was like watching all those pounds float away and disappear," Melisa Ferrell said. Kate Long In March, the Lincoln County Commission gave the Mud River Volunteer Fire Department funds to buy sturdy exercise machines to replace their flimsy ab-loungers for workouts. "One commissioner said he was afraid for us to be using what we had before," says Kevin Ferrell, seen here working out with Shannon Hager. Kate Long Marshall University is teaching a 5-week class at the Mud River fire hall on healthy eating and control of chronic disease. A national TV crew recorded Thursday as Sally Hurst, Marshall instructor (right) led the discussion. ALKOL, W.Va. -- Late Friday afternoon, deep in rural Lincoln County, inside the Mud River Volunteer Fire Department, 26 adults and children were furiously blowing up and tying off 555 helium balloons, praying the rain would stop.For months, they had looked forward to sending balloons up in the air to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Mud River Pound Punchers, one balloon for every pound they have lost.Faced with diabetes and heart problems, six determined Lincoln countians -- all associated with the Mud River VFD -- have walked the back roads together each morning for a year, exercising and dancing in the fire hall in the evenings."We wanted to celebrate with our kids in a way they would remember," said Melisa Ferrell, who has lost 123 pounds. "We got our hearts set on balloons. Then it rained."In midafternoon, they floated a test balloon in the rain, to see what would happen. It sank right back down to earth. "We went on faith that it would quit raining long enough for us to get these balloons in the air," she said.They have a lot to celebrate. In the first eight months, the original six lost an average of 71 pounds apiece. By June 1, they had 11 regular walkers, 40 "sometimes" members and 555 pounds lost.In March, they were featured in a Gazette-Mail article. A few weeks later, the Lincoln County Commission gave them $1,200 to buy sturdy exercise equipment for their fire hall to replace the flimsy ab-loungers they had at the VFD. "We went to the commission meeting, showed the [Gazette-Mail] article, and asked if they could help us get some real equipment," Ferrell said.At about the same time, Marshall University contacted them, offering to come to the fire hall and teach a class on healthy eating and other ways to prevent and control diseases like diabetes. "That's been great," she said.Then in April, they heard from a New York television production company interested in filming them for a national show about people who are successfully attacking obesity.On Friday, that production company was filming at the fire hall. They filmed the Pound Punchers blowing up multicolored balloons while rain drummed on the roof. They filmed the kids running back and forth with balloons on strings, tying them down. At about 4, it stopped raining. By 4:30, the sun came out. Soon after 5, two generations of Pound Punchers burst out of the fire hall, holding hundreds of multi-colored helium-filled balloons on strings.In an adjacent field, they stood in a tight circle, holding the balloons aloft. After a prayer, they opened their hands, and 555 balloons went floating up. Everyone cheered, and Melisa Ferrell and several others burst out crying. They piled into a group hug, laughing and crying, while the film crew circled them.The balloons floated up past the treeline, above the firehouse, then beyond the steep mountains."I can't explain how good it feels to see them float away," Annie Toney said, wiping away tears. She has lost 101 pounds now and is completely off her blood pressure medication. "It's been a lot of walking. I never in this world thought I could do that," she said. "We have a lot to be thankful for," Kevin Ferrell said. A year ago, he was taking seven to nine shots of insulin a day. Now he takes two.Sen. Ron Stollings, a doctor and chairman of the Senate Health and Human Resources Committee, made a short speech. "If we could get communities all over West Virginia to do what you're doing, this state would be in much better shape," he told them. "We need to find a way to spread this statewide." Thinking about healthy food The Pound Punchers signed an agreement not to tell the name of the national show that came to film them. The Gazette-Mail agreed to honor their agreement. The March Gazette-Mail story led them to the Pound Punchers.The production company filmed the Pound Puncher kids playing ball and walking with their mothers in the rain. They also filmed the doughnuts and cakes in the fire hall and honey buns and candy bars in the fire hall vending machine. "We're kind of in transition, where food's concerned," Toney said, grinning and shrugging. "We've come a long way with exercise, but several of us have hit a plateau, so we know it's time to think about what we eat, too, if we want to keep losing." They are taking steps in that direction. Thursday, the production company filmed the Pound Punchers and other fire department members taking the nutrition class at the fire hall, taught by Marshall University's Sally Hurst."We want to teach these classes in fire halls, churches and senior centers, and they're a perfect group," Hurst said. "Good on physical activity and just starting to think seriously about nutrition."During the class, they listed obstacles to healthy diet: the cost, a junk food habit and the fact that no store within a half-hour's drive sells healthy food such as dried beans, brown rice, fresh vegetables or fish.They brainstormed things they could do: raise gardens, can food, carpool to the grocery to save money. "We could set up a little farmers market," Toney said.The film crew recorded the class. They filmed them cutting up tomatoes for lunch. They filmed Kevin Ferrell injecting his insulin. They interviewed them for hours."It's sort of scary to have people following you with cameras for two days," Melisa Ferrell said Friday. "If this show helps people, I'll be happy, but I'll be glad too when things get back to normal." Step by step, they're improving The film crew left Friday evening. "We'll have to wait to see what they make of us," Ferrell said. Meanwhile, "we'll just keep doing what we do."They are better equipped to do what they do, now that the Mud River VFD has a small, first-class gym. "It's there for anybody in the community who wants to use it," Toney said.In early May, Commissioners Thomas Ramey and Dr. Charles Vance came to the gym opening."So many West Virginia areas have lost their schools, so sometimes fire departments become the center of the communities," Ramey said. "These exercise machines will be another way for this community to come together in a healthy way."Parks and Recreation gave the fire department money to buy two basketball nets for the kids."It's such a positive thing for kids to see their parents enjoy exercising and keeping at it," Vance said. "They're learning healthy habits."We've got to address childhood obesity, and there's no better way to do it than in families." He likes the nutrition class. "Step by step, they're gradually improving their diet and, with the exercise, achieving things they wouldn't have achieved otherwise."We have a big problem with diabetes and hypertension in the county, and these people are addressing it right here, without having to spend a lot of money. That's impressive."Friday, Melisa and Kevin didn't get home until late. They live in a tornado-damaged house. When it rains, they move pots from place to place to catch the leaks. "We're back to reality," she said. "But today, we're forgetting our problems. Today we're celebrating."Reach Kate Long at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1798."The Shape We're In" was written with the help of the Dennis A.

Best Places to Kiss!January 28th, 2013 by archcapeinn
Do you have a birthday coming up? Maybe an anniversary? Whatever your cause for celebration, our Inn on the Oregon Coast is an incredibly romantic location.
If you've been planning to propose to your loved one, we would like to give you some location suggestions where she (or he!) just won't be able to say no.
Hug Point: Just south of Cannon Beach, this little wayside gives you easy access to the beach. North of the parking area you can still walk along the original trail carved into the point by stagecoaches. The wayside was named after the stargecoach route because it hugs the point. Looking further north, Haystack Rock, one of the most identifiable landmarks along the coastline, is easily visible.
Ecola State Park: As you leave the parking area, you're traveling under the shade of the towering spruce trees until you suddenly emerge upon a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. Be sure to have your ring ready! The stunning view will make the moment all the more magical.
The Top of the Astoria Column: The Astoria Column, which is over 80 years old, is a beloved landmark of the Pacific Northwest Coast. It is located in a wooded area, 600 feet above sea level on Coxcomb Hill in the town of Astoria (about 30 miles north of our inn). This also happens to be Oregon's highest point, which makes the view astonishing. Majestic views of the countryside around Astoria, the great Pacific Ocean to the west and the Columbia River to the north are visible. Snow-capped volcanoes of the Cascade Range rise to the east and Saddle Mountain pierces the sky on the southern horizon.
While high above the ground, sweep your lover off her feet for Valentine's day! Then, reward yourself for making it to the top of the Column with a delicious Northwest dinner.

Youth Football Prospects Get Inspirational Life Lessons
Youth Football Prospects Get Inspirational Life Lessons
Prep football prospects get inspiration, life lessons
WEST PALM BEACH -- It was billed as a summer event like no other. It promised to provide exposure to college coaches — while getting out life messages in a day-long event.
When 6 p.m. rolled around last Sunday on the campus of Oxbridge Academy, nearly 200 athletes from throughout South Florida made the right choice in attending the inaugural Clear Vision – Clear Dreams Camp.
The brainchild of Coral Springs resident Julie Corona, who combined her knowledge of fundraising with the experience of working and placing athletes into colleges across the country, this was a day of football, life lessons and the chance to be mentored by college coaches.
"What other camp will offer up people such as Wisconsin head coach Gary Anderson, [Ohio State] defensive coordinator Everett Withers and assistants from schools such as Tennessee, Louisiana Lafayette, Florida Atlantic University, Florida State and Bethune Cookman?" Corona challenged. "This was one of those things where we put it all together in three weeks to raise awareness to many things in life."
On a personal note, Corona's driving force in putting this midsummer event together was to bring to light organ donation and those in need of an organ transplant — like myself.
In addition to eating two meals together, the campers were also treated to some inspiration messages from Charlie Coiner and DJ McCarthy as well as former Boca Raton High/NFL standout Derrick Crudup Sr. and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel who also took of his time to take in the event and talk about staying clear from trouble.
"This event is such a great thing for these young men," Israel explained. "The football they learned from all these accomplished players and coaches could mean the difference between attaining that scholarship."
The event also brought out local high school coaches such as Roger Harriott (University School), Harold Barnwell (Miami Carol City Athletic Director), Rodney Gray (Boyd Anderson), Dennis Marroquin (Hialeah) and others who were on hand to see head coach Doug Socha's new Palm Beach facility.
"I can tell you right now," Harriott said. "Next year, with college coaches like this, eating together and having a chance to learn so many new things, they will get 500 kids."
This was indeed a day that major prospects caught wind of the college coaches on hand and came out to — in some cases — improve their stock.
Deerfield Beach running back Brandon Powell was there doing what attracted the University of Tennessee to already make plans for his future.
Miramar was stacked with tremendous talent that came up for the event. It was easy to see why the Patriots are going to be in the mix this year — with prospects such as Jeffrey Hill, Eric Pittman and Class of 2015 standout running back Alex Anderson among others gaining that edge.
Some of the athletes who took the time to get better from outside the area include Class of 2014 Brooksville Nature Coast defensive end Rohan Blackwood and 2015 offensive lineman Christian Pellage, Jensen Beach quarterback Alex Ogle, who impressed in the off season. There was also 2015 cornerback Max Howell (Palm Beach Lakes), who is the nephew of former University of Miami lineman David Howell.
Former South Broward quarterback Eugene Sainterling has made the most of his summer and transfer to Boyd Anderson. Class of 2015 receiver/safety Shawn Burgess-Becker (Monarch) has turned heads all summer and Blanche Ely receiver Kenneth Rawls, who found it important to come to this inaugural camp.
"Look at how many college coaches they had out here," Rawls said. "Even though I have a few schools that are special, I will never close the door on an opportunity."
Others south Florida prospects who attended included Class of 2014 cornerbacks Albert Smalls and Malik Kearse (Monsignor Pace), Hialeah American safety Andrew Soroh, Monarch 2015 athlete Ronnie Hoggins, and Douglas offensive lineman Chris Gaynor and defensive end Bradley Mullings.

About the Horn Studio
Congratulations to WMU horn GA Katy Hosey, who won the solo competition at the Mid-North Horn Workshop at Ball State University in October 2016!
The horn studio at WMU is full of vibrant, talented horn students. The number of students in the studio usually ranges from 12-16 undergraduate music majors and two graduate assistants. Horn students major in a variety of music fields such as music performance, music education, and music therapy. ALL music majors take applied lessons with the horn professor, not a graduate student.
Horn studio class is offered throughout the year and in it students perform for each other and discuss various horn topics. The Western Horn Choir, which consists mostly of horn majors, performs a full concert on campus during the fall semester and tours the southwest Michigan area in the spring. The ensemble was invited to perform at the International Horn Symposium in Memphis, Tennessee in 2013 (memorialized on the Graceland wall—see image below) and at the International Horn Symposium in Denver, Colorado in 2008. Horn students have the opportunity to study historical and auxiliary instruments--two hand horns, an alphorn, a Wagner Tuba, a descant horn, and a triple horn may be checked out for study. Guest artists frequently present classes and perform at Western.
The large ensembles, such as the Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band are first-rate and many undergraduates have the opportunity to perform alongside graduate students in the top ensembles. Other ensembles combine select students with faculty members, including Western Winds and the Annual Brass Christmas Concert. Chamber music is prevalent and several wind quintet and brass quintet ensembles form among the students each year, frequently receiving faculty guidance. The Western Brass Quintet and Western Wind Quintet are the two faculty ensembles, performing often on campus and serving as models for student chamber ensembles.
The music facilities are terrific, with excellent performance, practice, library, and computer facilities. Its distinctive spaces include two recital halls, a multi-track digital recording studio, an electronic music laboratory, a 10,000 square foot music library, a state-of-the-art multi-media room, a music therapy clinic, a computer laboratory featuring a special MIDI station and Macintosh PowerPC computers (each equipped with a Yamaha synthesizer and a Roland sound module), and one of the world's largest installations of pre-fabricated, sound-isolated practice rooms and teaching studios.
Kalamazoo is located in the center of the midwestern musical scene, making it an inspirational and ideal place to study music. Prominent professional groups and events in the region include the Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestras, Gilmore International Keyboard Festival, and Fontana Chamber Arts Series. Kalamazoo is midway between Chicago and Detroit (2 1/2 hour drive to either city).
The horn studio is located in room 1406 in the Dalton Center. Here are directions to Dalton Center. Please note that Kalamazoo, Michigan is in the Eastern Time Zone.
