Ash Cloud Wreaks Havoc with Airspace, and It Could be Worse
April 15, 2010—
The recent Icelandic volcano eruption that closed down airports across United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Belgium and northern Germany, has affected air traffic all over Europe and transatlantic flights from the US. One Michigan Technological University professor says it's important to track the cloud not only to monitor its impact on aviation, but also because of the gases within.
Simon A. Carn, assistant professor of geological and mining engineering and sciences, who hails from the UK himself, is monitoring the cloud from the eruption via satellite, focusing on the ash and the sulfur dioxide (SO²) it contains.
Other possible impacts of the eruption depend on sulfur dioxide emissions, which can become sulfuric acid, reflecting sunlight and causing cooling. So far the SO² emissions detected in the eruption cloud are relatively minor, but if the ash falls on the ground, it can also be an environmental and health hazard, he says.
"This is a pretty significant event," Carn says. "They can smell the sulfur in Scotland and Norway, and the ash cloud is moving north of the UK over Norway. Closure of airspace in Europe can have global repercussions."
Ash, which is made up of pulverized rock, can be melted in airplanes' jet engines, he says, causing them to fail. Ash also erodes the exterior of aircraft, including the windshield, affecting visibility. "And there have been incidents of this occurring in the past."
Carn uses data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on a NASA satellite called Aura to track volcanic eruption clouds, including an Aerosol Index, which portrays the volcanic ash cloud and measurements that reveal SO² concentrations.
Tracking the cloud via satellite means getting data approximately every 15 minutes from some sensors. Carn seeks to discover how much SO² is in the cloud to look at the effects on climate and health. And events can go on for a long time.
"You never know," he says, "these Icelandic eruptions can go on for months or even years, or they can just shut down."
Also of concern, in addition to the gases that could be toxic and dangerous to breathe, is ash falling into water supplies, such as a reservoir, or affecting livestock and crops. "This is mainly an issue closer to the eruption site in Iceland," Carn says. "Icelandic eruptions have the potential to produce significant quantities of hydrogen fluoride (HF), which is highly toxic, but we can't measure this using satellite data."
In the future, Carn would love to discover just how much ash is dangerous, particularly to jet engines, as there is not enough data to discern that yet.
"We are getting better at quantifying the amounts of SO² and ash in volcanic clouds using satellite data, but we still don't know the critical concentration of ash that is an aviation hazard," he says. "Airlines are very cautious about flying anywhere that volcanic ash might be present, and engine manufacturers are not very forthcoming with any data they might have."
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

I would like be frank and speak about a fear of mine. This fear has held me back from progressing at the pace I would like in my Buddhist path. The fear is wasting my life pursuing something that is not there. What if Nirvana or Enlightenment was just a concept, not real, just an object of motivation to lead men to live a holy life. Even though I'm having faith and believe it to be true, there is that lingering doubt that haunts me in the back of my mind. It's saying "You could live a life pursuing great things, experience great pleasure, and leaving behind a great legacy if you don't waste it away pursuing imaginary goal." So that is my fear that I might waste my life away in pursuing a road less travel as compare to the people around me. I have given up indulging in alcohol with friends for meditation, gambling in casinos for study of suttas, pursuing sexual gratifications for detachments, pursuit of wealth for contentment, and fame for peace. I very much want to live a holy life, this human condition is definitely unsatisfactory, and I want something greater than what this life can offer, but the fear that what I seek does not exist is holding me back like walking in heavy mud.
I thought I share that just to get it off my chest so it will have less hold on me.

Little Oven is best known for macarons, but at their new shop in Long Island City, it was the Cherry Blossom Gateau ($4.25) that stole my heart. It's a picture-perfect creation for one, the trio of soft hues each representing pistachio, cherries, and a white chocolate mousse layered between the thinnest slices of sponge cake. At the top is a layer of cherry blossom liquer gelée with a single Japanese cherry blossom captured in the center. Gorgeous. This Gateau tastes as it looks, the flavors delicate and soft. What a way to bring us out of the gloomy winter months.

Sioux Falls Crime Available by Website, Smartphone
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Listening to police scanners is so 2012. Nowadays, there's an app for that.
South Dakota's largest city is joining the ranks of municipalities nationwide that map out crime incidents for people to track by computer or iPhone. Sioux Falls police say the service will let residents see neighborhoods' crime data in close to real time.
Police Spokesman Sam Clemens says the data is available through CrimeReports.com, which tracks crime incidents in cities throughout the United States and Canada.
Clemens says this program updates an older one in the city that wasn't as user friendly and didn't allow users to filter the incidents by type – such as vandalism or assault. The data also is linked to the state's sex-offender registry.

Dunkirk is one of the most established names in heating. Their reputation has been built over the years by ingenious design and perpetual innovation. The D248-2700S is a modular steam boiler for large applications. The modular design makes it easy to find a D248 that suits your application without worrying about over —or under —sizing. Cast-iron is used for the construction of the heat exchanger sections to create a boiler that is as durable as it is powerful. Installing a large boiler may seem daunting, but Dunkirk has already handled a lot of the heavy lifting. The modular bases of the D248 are assembled before shipment with the gas valves, manifolds, burners, and pilots preinstalled. When it comes to supplying reliable heating for the largest applications, the D248 shines. With a simplified installation process and incredible longevity, this is an exceptional hydronic heating choice.
Product Features
Efficiency-Boosting Insulation
Heat retention is a cornerstone of efficiency. Dunkirk employs an insulated boiler jacket with the D248 to reduce wasted heat and make your energy dollar go further.
Easy Access
The D248 is designed for quick inspection and maintenance. The boiler's front panels are easily removed to allow access to the boiler controls. The draft hood of the D248 features a cleanout panel, providing a simple way to clean the flueways.
Simplified Wiring
Wiring for the D248 is streamlined through a "plug 'n play" harness and junction box. This harness is color-coded so that connecting the boiler base controls is not just quick, but error proof.

Season 5 is it for a great TV series. God this sucks.
It's Over in Five for 'Angel'
(Friday, February 13 04:53 PM)
By Kate O'Hare
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Early Friday (Feb. 13) an announcement was made to the cast and crew at The WB's "Angel" that this season, the show's fifth, will be its last.
"It's official enough to know it's real," David Greenwalt, who co-created the series with Joss Whedon, tells Zap2it.com, "but I haven't talked to anybody at the network or the studio. I can tell you that it's real, that it makes Mr. Whedon and myself very sad, that we wish it had kept going and we thought it was only getting better.
"Joss and [executive producer]Jeff Bell told the cast and crew today. We have no understanding of the inner workings of the corporate world, but we've had a long and fruitful relationship with [producing studio] 20th Century Fox and The WB, for which we are grateful. We just wish it could have gone on forever. Apparently, it's not going to.
"Joss literally called me this morning; so it's very new."
This news comes on the heels of airing the 100th episode of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" spin-off, the taping of which was marked by a party on the show's sets last November.
At that time, the WB's entertainment chief, Jordan Levin, said, "The work that you all do, I cannot thank you enough. This is something that will last. You can see it in the DVD sales. You see it in the fans. They give an incredible amount of attention to almost everything.
"You've created a cult here, and it's pretty wonderful to be a part of it. So thank you and congratulations."
It's the network's regard for the show that prompted it to give the producers an early enough heads up for a proper send-off at the end of the season.
"Like some of the great series that are leaving the air this year, including 'Frasier' and 'Friends,' the cast, crew, writers and producers of 'Angel' deserve to be able to wrap up the series in a way befitting a classic television series, and that is why we went to Joss to let him know that this would be the last year of the series on The WB," the network says in a statement. "We have discussed continuing the Angel legacy with special movie events next year, which is still on the table. "
Next week, on Wednesday, Feb. 18, "Angel" airs one of its most innovative episodes, called "Smile Time." Written and directed by Ben Edlund ("The Tick"), and based on an idea by Whedon, it sees the show's title character, a crusading vampire with a soul, forced to fight evil after being transformed into a walking puppet (with voice by series star David Boreanaz).
"It's so brilliant," Greenwalt says. "I just love it. It's one of the finest pieces of filmmaking I've ever seen. It just cracked me up. It's so ridiculous and silly, and yet there's all this heartfelt stuff in it. It's just quintessential Whedon.
"But wait until you see the episode that follows it in terms of abject heartbreak. It's just searing."
Greenwalt stepped away from "Angel" a few years ago but has remained a consulting producer. Since then, he's worked on two short-lived but critically acclaimed series, ABC's "Miracles" and UPN's "Jake 2.0." But he's contemplating a possible return to his old stomping ground.
"I might just go direct episode 20 [of 'Angel']," he says, "so I can say my farewell to everybody. That's something that might happen."
As to the future of the show's star, The WB says, "David Boreanaz continues to be one of the finest, classiest and friendliest actors we have had the pleasure to work with and we hope that the relationship furthers from here.
"The same can be said for all the actors and producers on the show. "

JOE Breet of Lechlade returns to the Wiltshire side for their clash with Wales at Warminster this weekend but there's no place for Goatacre's Ed Kilbee.
Breet missed the county's game against Dorset last weekend but is included in the XI for their final Unicorns Knockout Trophy group stage match, which is scheduled to start at 11am on Sunday.
Devon have finished their programme and, as they have a superior run rate, Wiltshire will need at least one point from the Wales tie to top the group and secure a home quarter final.
Team: Michael Coles (Corsham), Tahir Afridi (Henley), Joe Breet (Lechlade), Neil Clark (Potterne), Tom Foley (Corsham), James Hayward (South Wilts), Adam Miles (Cardiff), Ashur Morrison (Corsham), Tom Morton (South Wilts), Jake Roberts (Potterne), Ed Young (Potterne)

Sign up for our weekly email * Israel has agreed to a ceasefire after several days of shelling the Gaza Strip, the Egyptian foreign minister has announced. At a joint press conference, Mohammed Kamel Amr and the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the cessation of hostilities would start at 7pm GMT (9pm local time). Clinton added: "This is a critical moment for the region, Egypt's new government is assuming the responsibility and leadership that has long made this country a cornerstone of regional stability and peace. The US welcomes the agreement today for a ceasefire in Gaza - for it to hold the rocket attacks must end and a broader calm must return. In the days ahead the US will work with partners across the region to consolidate this progress, improve conditions for the people of Gaza, provide security for the people of Israel." In Jerusalem, Binyamin Netanyahu confirmed that he had agreed to the deal. Since last Friday, more than 140 Palestinians and five Israelis have been killed.

Organic apple and pear growers remain concerned about progress that's being made on treatments to replace the use of oxytetracycline for controlling fire blight in orchards.
"Fire blight is a very serious disease that kills entire orchards," said Addie Pobst, coordinator of imports, sustainability, organic integrity and food safety for Viva Tierra Organic Inc., Sedro-Woolley, Wash.
Need for alternatives
The Organic Center, Washington D.C., published results from a poll conducted by David Granatstein, sustainable agriculture specialist at Washington State University, which concluded up to 90% of all organic apple and pear producers may switch to non-organic orchards if an alternative control is not available by the time oxytetracycline is banned.
Coupled with the increasing demand for organic apple and pear products, the industry could potentially see a large imbalance of supply and demand.
Growers know the research needed to find a sustainable cure needs to happen fast, something that isn't necessarily likely.
"We are working hard on a replacement to antibiotics and some cures are root stocks changes which will not happen fast," said Roger Pepperl, marketing director of Stemilt Growers Inc., Wenatchee, Wash.
Organic Center publication
In July, The Organic Center began a project to provide the organic community the information needed to prevent the disease.
The project, a collaboration with Granatstein and Harold Ostenson, is intended to research integrative antibiotic-free treatment strategies.
Jessica Shade, director of science programs for The Organic Center, said the project is intended to provide growers with information from organic operations who already have been working to treat fire blight without antibiotics.
"It will share the lessons learned by growers who have already been avoiding antibiotics to comply with European standards," Shade said.
In addition to the full report, the project also includes a table with photos of infestation at different stages so growers can look for different treatments others have tried at that stage, according to Shade.
"The chart will have pictures and descriptions of the different action items," she said.
The draft is in the review stage to ensure it covers all the latest research and is clear for technical and non-technical audiences.
"We have members from all over the U.S. looking over the draft so we can make this document more understandable," Shade said.
The project doesn't seek to establish new solutions, but rather to share information growers already have been using.
Shade said the project would provide a good supplement to research efforts currently underway at Oregon State University.
"Those efforts may eventually provide specific treatments as material alternatives to antibiotics," she said.
The center's publication will provide growers with a more holistic approach, including techniques that will fit together with specific treatment substitutions when those become available, almost as a stepping stone.
"The research on those new treatments might not be published for several years, so something needed to be done in the meantime," Shade said.
If these new treatments are not ready by the time the antibiotic is banned, organic apple supplies will be in a real danger.
"It will reduce the amount of industry acreage on some varieties and locations. It is a big deal and a true threat. We will weather the threat with time, but some recession will occur from this," Pepperl said.
Shade is hopeful the Organic Center's efforts will help growers feel more at ease.
"There hasn't been a lot of press about how to control fire blight without antibiotics, so knowing people have done it and sharing the different methods will not only be comforting but will provide solid scaffolding concerned growers can build upon," she said.
The final draft should be ready for growers after the first of the year to be helpful for the 2014 growing season, according to Shade.

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Charles Pierre Péguy Notre Patrie, 1905"If I ought to write the truth, I am of the mind that I ought to flee all meetings of bishops, because I have never seen any happy or satisfactory outcome to any council, nor one that has deterred evils more than it has occasioned their acceptance and growth."
St. Gregory Nazianzus ep. 131 - AD 382"We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women. If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market."

Laryngeal Stroboscopy
Laryngeal stroboscopy is one of the most useful and state-of-the-art techniques currently available for the examination of the larynx. At the Milton J. Dance, Jr. Head and Neck Center, the laryngeal stroboscopy examination is performed jointly by a physician and a speech pathologist.
Frequently Asked Questions about Laryngeal Stroboscopy
What happens during the evaluation?
Step 1: You will first be asked to complete a questionnaire regarding the onset of your voice problem, your medical history and current medications, current voice demands, and any specific symptoms related to your voice problem.
Step 2: A speech pathologist will guide you in performing simple vocal tasks using a microphone. Computer analysis of your vocal quality will then be performed.
Step 3: The physician may spray a topical anesthetic in your throat for your comfort during the procedure. (Note: Please inform the physician if you have had any reactions to anesthesia in the past.)
Step 4: The physician will insert a small endoscope through your mouth towards the back of your tongue. The endoscope provides a telescopic video recording of your larynx. The speech pathologist will then ask you to perform various voice tasks in order to observe the movement of your vocal cords and the condition of your larynx.
How long will it take?
The entire evaluation may take approximately thirty minutes to one hour; however, the total time that the endoscope is in your mouth is only approximately two minutes.
When will I receive the results?
Immediately following the evaluation, the physician and speech pathologist will review your results and provide recommendations which may include one or all of the following: referrals, medication, voice therapy, and/ or surgery.
How do I need to prepare?
There is no preparation required for the procedure. You may eat and drink as you wish. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the appointment to complete the necessary paperwork.
For information or to schedule an appointment, please call (443) 849-2087.

Agree, however Zen is not like it. Infact, the practice of hua'tou, so called "Great Question" can not be done with renunciation of sense objects - they're actually fuelling this style of pracitce.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.

Sarcoidosis - Pulmonary Function Test
I have had Stage IV Sarcoidosis since 1994. But all my Pulmonary Function Tests are within normal range. The report reads "Normal spirometry, a decrease in residual volume." In 1994 it was determined I had Sarcoidosis by biospy, ACE Levels, etc. I have per CT Thorax W/O Contrast "Extensive fibrotic scarring with traction brochiectasis in the right upper lobe with associated volume loss. Findings are felt to represent sequelae of sarcoidosis. Scattered reticular-nodular interstitial densities in both lungs likely representing sequelae of sarcoidosis." Also XR Chest 2 Views PA + Lateral - "Asymmetric upper lobe predominant brochiolar wall thickening and cylindrical bronchiectasis, right greater than left, with posterior conglomerae masses on lateral radiograph. Tenting of the left diaphragm-volume loss. Rightward deviation of trachea due to RUL firbrosis."
Also, my heart has moved toward the center of my chest because of my lungs. I have 3 tiny leaky heart valves (I don`t know if this means anything). And of have acid refux
I quite my job in 2009 because of chest pains, I stay very tired, short of breath, and my ankles hurt. I have dyspnea on exertion.
I have taken a Six-Minute Walk Test and my oxygen dropped to 80. I may have to go on an oxygen tank.
If my CT Thorax, and Chest XR looks so bad why do I have normal breathing test?
My pulmonary doctor retired and my new pulmonary doctor does not really answer my questions. I`m a 56 years old female. This year I have applied for disability but I`m wondering am I really disabled. I`m not on any steriods.
Thanks in advance for answering my questions.
Dear Madam- Keep in mind that the range of "normal" for pulmonary function tests is based upon rather large population studies. If you happened to have larger than average lung capacity prior to the onset of your lung disease, say 120% of predicted "normal" values, and now have 80% of predicted "normal" values, you still fall in the "normal range" despite a very large drop in absolute lung capacity.
Clearly, you have lost some lung capacity based upon the radiographic (chest x-ray and CT scan) results. The drop in oxygen levels during exertion indicates that you have limited pulmonary reserve. That is, when your body's oxygen demands increase (during exercise) the lungs are unable to exchange oxygen quickly enough to keep up.
Thus, you do have significant loss of lung function in terms of the lungs' ability to exchange gases, such as oxygen. The criteria for establishing "disability" due to lung disease are more complicated than can be summarized here. You would have to discuss this evaluation with your new lung doctor.

As a 25-year vet of the oil markets, I see things that most oil analysts don't, even though some of them are not so hard to spot. So when I make recommendations in the energy space, it is through a different prism than that of most of the Wall Street crew, with the underlying commodity foremost in mind.
I can't put you in my head or give you the benefit of my 25 years in the game through columns, but I can show you a few of the many extra factors that I look at that others don't and make you more capable of making your own decisions on what to buy in the energy sector. What I'm always trying hard to do here at Real Money is to get you away from the "crowd think" on stock-picking and get you a unique perspective that will hopefully make you money.
Here's a perspective on the crude market that no one is talking about (save for me): the financial disconnect in the oil market that is driving prices.
Oil is priced physically at many points on the globe, and each price point is different, the way the same house would be priced differently depending on where you were. But oil is also tied financially to the benchmark prices funneled through the exchanges that handle forwards and futures, and those prices are what really set the physical prices around the globe.
This can be a blessing or a curse, but for the oil producers it is a blessing this year: Global oil production is up about 800 million barrels a day in 2012, and demand is up perhaps 200 million to 250 million barrels less than that. That would imply an increasing surplus and why you've seen many oil analysts predict lower prices this year -- the Bank of America analyst even suggested $50 a barrel as possible for 2013.
It won't happen.
Two things are feeding into the financial price point for Brent oil traded at the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) that just won't allow it to happen. First, while the global supply/demand picture might look bearish, the fundamental picture in the North Sea, where Brent prices come from, is anything but. A continual depleting North Sea production profile continues to create constant supply squeezes every several months, helping to keep prices continually firm. In addition, the correlations between asset classes caused by "financialization" of oil (as I describe in detail in my book) puts upward pressure on prices as the melt-up in the equity markets continues.
And the fact is, no matter what's happening throughout the rest of the oil markets worldwide, the shape of global pricing relies almost exclusively on how crude is being priced in the Brent marketplace.
This is one of the primary reasons I believed that energy (and particularly crude oil production) would be a far better place to be invested in 2013 compared with 2012 and, considering the underperformance of the exploration-and-production sector within energy in 2012, why I felt that solid production and volume growth would translate into incredible outperformance this year.
This has already played itself out positively in the case of Noble Energy (NBL) for example, which I recommended in December at $97. Noble crushed its quarterly report this morning with a $0.63 beat and record sales and cash flow.
It was the outsized crude margins that helped it the most, created by the commodity disconnect I've just described. Sometimes that commodity perspective can be useful ... and profitable.


text: Herd hoops, Huntington hotels and Classic musings By Doug Smock January 27, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- THE PREVIOUS TIME Marshall lost a men's basketball game by 56 points, it went out and won the next game.OK, so the opponent was Roanoke College. It was February 1976 and the Thundering Herd was an independent, scrambling to put together a schedule.The 118-62 loss at DePaul followed a 104-78 loss at Eastern Kentucky. Under Bob Daniels, the program was a full year away from completing the fall from 20 wins to 19 losses, but the grumbling was well underway. Fifty-something and older Herd fans can tell it better than I can.Fast-forward 37 years to last week, which nearly became the most up-and-down week in MU hoops history. Wednesday night, the Herd fell behind 47-7 and lost 102-46, scoring 13 fewer points against Southern Mississippi than the football team did a few months earlier.In this era of rapid-fire social media, the Herd became a national punch line. But three days later, it scared 16,000-plus Memphis fans in a 73-72 loss, MU's best effort in seven road losses to the near-perennial Conference USA champs.If you're looking for some deep reason why, forget it. I have no way to explain this, and I have no fuel for the "fire everybody" faction of Herd fans. (My next Twitter avatar may "honor" that group. Stay tuned.)All I can do is (a) thank the good Lord I wasn't in Hattiesburg to witness the Southern Miss game in person and (b) recall some of the other great flame-outs in MU history.Among those that come to mind includes the 106-57 collapse against Davidson at the Henderson Center on Jan. 27, 1996. That was the second and final Billy Donovan team, complete with Jason Williams at point guard.That came off an 86-69 win over Tennessee-Chattanooga, hated conference rival of the time. The Herd beat the Mocs three times that season, and also owned a 91-87 win over West Virginia.To further add to the mystery, the Herd followed the Davidson disaster with a 95-71 win over Furman and a 98-54 hazing of The Citadel. But as entertaining as that MU team was, it fell to Davidson three times, including in the Southern Conference semifinals.How about February 2002, when the team of Tamar Slay and J.R. VanHoose lost 116-76 at Kent State and 87-52 at Buffalo? That was memorable because those were the two games immediately preceding my start as the Gazette's MU beat writer.Eleven years later, I still find myself asking, "What have I gotten myself into?"The season-opening 94-73 loss to the University of Charleston in November 1985 at the Civic Center was epic. That Herd's season ended about as shockingly, with a loss to sixth-seeded East Tennessee State in the league tournament.But for a purely bad result, 102-46 shall be burned into the minds of many Marshall followers. nn In case you missed it, Northern Illinois scored four points in the first half Saturday against Eastern Michigan in a 42-25 loss. The four points broke a shot-clock era record for lowest in the first half, as did the 3.2 percent (1 for 31) field-goal percentage. The futility from the floor stretched to 1 of 37 before the Huskies broke a 24-minute, 33-second field-goal drought. They rallied to finish the game at 13.1 percent (8 of 61).Yes, things can always get worse. nn With Central Florida coming to town, I am reminded of a memorable Friday night Twitter skirmish last year.Like many other visiting teams, the Knights landed at either Huntington's Tri-State Airport or Charleston's Yeager Airport, then bused to the Pullman Plaza Hotel in downtown Huntington. Putting their smartphones to good use, they immediately photographed the hotel's rough edges and posted them on Twitter.Those pictures, with accompanying wisecracks, triggered return fire from Marshall fans who don't care for UCF in the first place. It added a little more flavor to the game the next day, won 65-64 by the Herd.But that all brings up a question: Is downtown Huntington's flagship hotel in a downturn?More and more, I keep hearing the answer is yes. The last time I stepped foot in the building was for the visit of Hal Greer a year ago, at a reception in Greer's suite. My thought was that it was nice enough, but could stand an update. But don't ask me, for I would just as soon stay at the Holiday Inn and Suites down the street.I sat with an out-of-town MU fan on a Charlotte-to-Charleston plane ride and brought up the subject. He said he stays there on visits to Huntington, but wouldn't recommend it to friends.A sample of one, yes, but a telling testimony. MU needs a top-line hotel near its campus, and the only candidate may not be delivering. nn Today, we shall have golf.Last week, Gazette colleague Tommy Atkinson tracked down Greenbrier East basketball coach Jim Justice and asked a few questions about the work of Greenbrier resort owner Jim Justice. One and the same man, of course.Justice talked about his pursuits of top talent for the Greenbrier Classic, both on the course and on the concert stage. As you may know, Kenny Chesney is your Fourth of July country act. You know somebody else big is going to play here - Springsteen? Justin Bieber?The latter would be a frightening prospect, coupled with a possible debut by Rickie Fowler. For starters, "The Bieb" and Fowler combined would supply one large quantity of hair. A truckload, maybe two.In a couple of trips to Columbus, I've seen the mob Fowler attracts and it's impressive. I'd call it Tiger-esque, only with dozens of pink-cased smartphones. You will see a spike in the girls 12-19 demographic, for sure.Classic officials might consider posting "No Squealing During Backswing" signs around Old White. nn I put almost nothing past Justice when it comes to this golf tournament (Big Break Greenbrier was pretty cool, by the way). I'd bet on his landing Phil, Bubba and Rickie, and perhaps Tiger again. As for Rory McIlroy, I'll let others ask that question with wide eyes.I know good and well it's not happening.And not because he is the No. 1 player in the world, and has been for 24 consecutive weeks. Knowing his home country (Northern Ireland) and checking the European PGA Tour schedule, it's not a difficult conclusion.Schedule-wise, the Greenbrier Classic sits in a good position to attract Americans and Australians, who are really Floridians with funny accents. The Classic is three weeks after the U.S. Open and two weeks before the Open Championship. The AT&T National, the week before in suburban Washington, seems to work in the Classic's favor. (More tradition with Tiger Woods sponsoring, yet an easy drive to White Sulphur Springs.)The Classic suffered two tradeoffs in moving to the Fourth of July. One was a loss of volunteers, though I figure that base will be rebuilt. The other was a great difficulty in attracting Europeans - the ones that did come in 2012 were more Americanized players such as Carl Pettersson. (Owner of my favorite golf nickname, the "Redneck Swede.")On the European Tour, the Irish Open comes a week before the Greenbrier. It carries a smaller purse than the corresponding stateside event, but there is zero chance McIlroy misses it.So would McIlroy, or any European for that matter, jet to America, play one tournament and jet back to prepare for the British? Bloody unlikely, even if Justice offered an Ulster-to-Lewisburg charter.I think. nn By the If you missed it, the Classic's purse has bumped from $6.1 million to $6.3 million. The winner's share shall be $1.134 million. That's more than 20 other PGA Tour stops this season, including the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.Just don't tell Jack Nicklaus.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

"One goal was all that stood between the Buffalo Sabres and a berth in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Finishing seventh in the Eastern Conference in 2010-11 earned the Sabres a first-round date with the second-seeded Philadelphia Flyers. In Game 6, with Buffalo holding a 3-2 series lead, the Sabres found themselves in overtime, on the verge of advancing to the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the first time since 2007. Instead, Ville Leino scored for the Flyers to force a Game 7, where they handed Buffalo an early exit from the postseason.
This year's Sabres will be a far different unit than the one that bowed out of the playoffs so cruelly this past spring."

WANDERERS appear set to extend Alan Hutton's loan from Aston Villa after giving up on Leeds United defender Lee Peltier yesterday.
Dougie Freedman is confident he can extend a deal for the Scotland international, who has steadily improved since his arrival from Villa Park, by the close of business at 5pm today.
"There is a bit of movement," he told The Bolton News. "We have spoken to Aston Villa and asked them what their thoughts are.
"If they come up with the right structure for the deal then hopefully all parties will agree to him staying."
But it appears Peltier faces a difficult return to Elland Road despite coming agonisingly close to signing for Wanderers for the rest of the season.
It is not yet apparent whether the Whites' tight financial situation or FA red tape was to blame for the 27-year-old's U-turn, but sources at the Reebok yesterday were saying there was little chance of resurrecting the deal.
Peltier is stuck in an awkward situation after half-completing a loan move to Nottingham Forest on Monday.
Neil Warnock had teed-up the defender for a move as he prepared to step into the vacant manager's job at the City Ground, but a late change of heart left Peltier in limbo.
Freedman was then offered his services for the rest of the season and on Tuesday night was waiting for word from the Football Association about exactly where the player's registration lay.
"He was going to sign for Nottingham Forest and signed some of the parts of the contracts that were available," Freedman explained. "There was some confusion because someone (Warnock) ended up not going to Nottingham Forest and that held some more things back from Forest's end. He was then offered around to a few different clubs.
"I am a fan of Lee Peltier, blatantly, and I have enquired about the situation. But as we speak the situation is with the Football Association, with all the paperwork."
Had both loan deals been finalised it would have presented Wanderers with a selection quandary for the remainder of the season.
Wanderers currently have five loan players on their books, with Hutton joining Liam Trotter, Neil Danns, Lukas Jutkiewicz and Joe Mason.
League rules state only five can be named in a matchday squad and though both Trotter and Danns are believed to have signed pre-contracts that will kick in automatically in the summer, they are currently officially viewed as loans by the Football League.
Freedman will have Alex Baptiste available for this weekend's home clash with Wigan Athletic but it remains to be seen what damage the defender did to his first-team chances with his poor performance at Yeovil last weekend.
The former Blackpool man was forced to sit out Tuesday's game against his former club Blackpool after picking up a soft red card in the 2-2 draw at Huish Park, incurring his manager's wrath after the final whistle.
Freedman revealed Matt Mills hads suffered a minor problem in his comeback from a knee injury and as such he would be looking for extra defensive cover for the rest of the campaign.
"I think we need one more defender. As you've seen, if one gets sent off like Alex Baptiste, then we're really up against it," he said.
"Matt Mills had a little setback, wasn't feeling 100 per cent comfortable in training yesterday, so we can't risk it."

Sometimes we celebrate home especially when it is no more. Arline Kinsel's spidery handwriting leaves a poignant elegy for "Refuge Ranch," her mother's homestead property in Beulah, Colorado. Arline and her sister Mercy spent many happy summers at their mother's ranch relaxing with friends, posing for photographs, and putting on theatrical productions. When Arline and her husband Roy were separated in 1912, Arline retreated to Beulah with their small daughter Lucille to find comfort with her mother and sister. Mercy taught at the Mace School and built a small log house on the property as her own "little house."
In December of 1913, Mercy was living at the ranch when she received this photo/postcard from either her mother or from Arline,
"Oh, you can drop the insurance if you wish for I don't suppose we will have a fier."
Arline's note on the front of the card made when she was in her 60s are an ironic commentary to the sad end of "Our little Brown home in the West. . . it burned up finally" and was never rebuilt.

"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Sorry, I was only pointing you out in that post ( as an example ) cuz I think that if the Team is capable of winning the race while driving 75 mph throughout the entire race as opposed to 50 mpg in the 1st half of the race and then gunning it at 100 mph in the 2nd half of the race.
I ( like you ) don't like that they sucked it up in the 1st half...but realize that they have a 2nd gear to fall back on when it comes to a clearly less talented and experienced Team ( hence why I didn't complain ).
In the end....IMHO, the Pacers won only because they were more talented and had more experience.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
All along this time i thought earl watson is our back-up point guard.
I'm not sure why the Pacers play so much better after the 2nd half than the 1st half.
Side Note - Remember in the JO'B days when the Pacers used to play really well in the 1st half and then come out as flat in the 3rd QTR? Oyy...I remember those days
I don't know if it's intentional or not ( probably not ), but the Pacers don't have the luxury to "toy with the mouse" against every Team. Every win counts and a few losses here and there because we weren't able to "seal the deal" against a Team because the Team wasn't playing up to their regular intensity level in the 1st half?
I agree that the Pacers are now the "cat" that can toy with less talented "mice"...which is refreshing....but my concern is that this mentality of playing lights out defense won't work all the time against better coached and more talented Teams that are way better than the Celtics and Pelicans.
Maybe another analogy is at hand....rather than being the "cat that bites down on the mouse"...how about the python that slowly strangles the life out of it's pray for 3.5 QTRs and then letting the pray die a slow asphyxiated death for the rest of the 4th QTR?
Maybe I'm taking this analogy too far or off course?

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I can understand why the Heat coast for awhile and then go into KILL mode when needed but the Pacers don't have LeBron James and Dwyane Wade so they can ill afford to play like this.
When the Pacers brought the hammer down, they brought it HARD. Boston was totally unable to run their offense. I agree with those who say that it would be cool if we did it sooner, but part of our style of play seems to be to grind, grind, grind, and then find the "opportune moment" and then go crazy.
If Lance can keep rebounding, then he'll get triple doubles all season long. Every pass to Scola at 18' out is an automatic assist, and he's doing that 5 times a game.
This space for rent.
Honestly, I feel like they can. For one thing, Paul George is now on the same or similar level to one or both of those two, and for another our defense and size superiority also gives us room for it. But I do agree that it's always dangerous.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I agree with this cuz I don't like that we end up doing this:
to win games in the end.
My preference is to be out of the proverbial "hole" by halfway through the 4th QTR of the game...instead of being shoulder-deep in a hole before the 2nd half while being forced to climb out of it by the end of the game just to get a win.
Man...I'm full of analogies today.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Yeah, damn this is fun.
At one point, we'd held the Celtics to 20 points in about 21 minutes in the second half after giving up 50 in the first. I think they have the ability to play cat against a lot of teams, especially the Celtics. And they should be able to do it tomorrow night against the 76ers.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
No we just have Paul George, Roy Hibbert, David West, Lance Stephenson, George Hill, and Luis Scola
I think the coaching staff has some to do with this as we really seem to refocus our team and make great adjustments. The intensity definitely picks up defensively in the 2nd half as well and for those saying well just bring that intensity the entire game you have to realize that just may not be realistic to play that intense of D 48 minutes a night 82 games a year. So as long as they play with max intensity every 2nd half I am ok with a little bit of coasting in the first half.
And lastly I compare our style of play to a great power running back where in the first half they may not being getting great results only 2 or 3 yards per carry but they wear on the opponent and come the 2nd half they start gashing the defense. Or you can use the boxing analogy that our team just throws a ton of body blows and come 2nd half the opponent just doesn't have as much fight left in them.
But ultimately I think the first half woes will get ironed out once the 2nd quarter lineup gets solid chemistry and learn to play well as a unit.
All good players but not LeBron unfortunately.
Dude you watch way too much ESPN...they lost to boston bro.
And he's on my fantasy team! LOL.
No, I just defer to the 4X MVP and 2X defending NBA champion until he is knocked off his throne.
Well you are not Lebron so in reality does your opinion matter at all? I defer to him...stop your hero worship crap, we play defense rebound and have 5 guys on the floor who can score. As the SEALs say, "A TWIG WILLBREAK BUT A BUNDLE OF TWIGS IS STRONG"
Is it just me, or does Luis Scola make EVERY midrange jumper he takes? I swear I don't remember seeing the last time he missed!
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
It seems like he never misses at all. He's shooting about 55%. I think he might be one of the best backup big men in the NBA. His offense is incredible.
Not EVERY MidRange jumpshot he takes. He ( like DW ) hits that shot at that same spot ( to the right of the FT line ) but doesn't always hit it if he is the same distance from the basket but not in the same spot ( let's say to the left of the key ).
At that very spot though ( which is where he usually stands and waits for the ball and takes the majority of his shots from).....he's money. Every time I see him take a shot there....I think to myself....that a "moneyball" shot right there.

Have you taken a look around the East? We are one of four teams above .500. Unless there is a surprise mid-season conference re-allignment, we should probably get used to playing bad teams more nights than not.

So every team has to jump out to a lead from the get go except Miami?

Children Toil in Poverty to Produce India's Bidi Cigarettes
Loophole keeps kids working in tobacco industry and out of school
Mar 20, 2012
Sagira Ansari suffers from coughs, colds, fever and persistent headaches. But her ailments do not shorten her workday or slow her as she drops flakes of tobacco into square-cut leaves, rolls them deftly and ties the ends of a bidi cigarette with twists of red thread.
"I can't play around," she laments in a story by the Associated Press.
At age 11, Sagira, is surrounded by dust as she works eight-hour shifts producing bidis, a popular form of tobacco smoked mostly by men in India — but made by women and children.
