One Tent, Five Dilemmas
So far, the movement has conducted itself in an intelligent, mistakes have been minimal, if any, but this is just the beginning, the hard part is still to come.
The young protesters in the tents represent new hope for the state, as well as for the older generation that has despaired of ever seeing a significant struggle to change the public agenda.
But to move the quarter-million-strong demonstration to the next stage, five dilemmas must be dealt with.
First dilemma - leadership. This is a sore point. Movements such as these are allergic to leaders and becoming institutionalized. But without leadership it would be impossible to sum things up and conduct negotiations.
Compromise proposal: a fixed delegation, part of which would be replaced every month - perhaps by raffle, as they did in ancient Athens - to report to the general assembly once every two to three days.
Second dilemma - a lot or a little? In the film "Slumdog Millionaire" about the Indian youth who contends in the television game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," there's a moment in which the boy wins 10 million rupees and faces the choice - take the money and quit, or risk everything to answer another question and win 20 million.
That is, should the protesters make do with what they can get out of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now and stop the protest, or continue to achieve much, much more. I hope they continue.
Third dilemma - the settlers. The struggle has been hindered because the protest cannot point to the source of money to fulfill their justified demands. The statements made so far are not reliable and it is easy for the treasury professionals to contradict the numbers. It is well known the money can come from only three sources - the settlers, the ultra-Orthodox and the bloated defense budget.
The tent people are afraid to say it, for fear of being labeled "leftists." This is true. But at a certain point they will have to speak explicitly.
Fourth dilemma - an overall view. Until now they have made a list of demands, each one separately, and it looks like a menu in a restaurant. At some point they will have to incorporate all the items into one overall view. They will have to portray to themselves and the rest of the public the image of the state they want - and the picture will have to include important answers to the "political" problems, heaven forbid.
Fifth dilemma - a new force. Clearly pressure from below can achieve something, even a lot, but real change can be achieved only in the political arena. Knesset members cannot be forced to legislate laws against their views; they must simply be replaced.
This is doubly true of Netanyahu, who appears to be willing to change his worldview in an instant. Netanyahu is reminiscent of the comedien Groucho Marx, who said: "These are my principles and if you don't like them, well, I have others."
Before the next elections, the tent dwellers will have to decide if they want to take part in them and form a large new force that will change the entire political map. I very much hope they decide they do.
So far, the movement has conducted itself in an intelligent, creative manner. All its major decisions have been correct and the mistakes have been minimal, if any. (In my opinion the demand to conduct the negotiations on camera was correct. )
But this is just the beginning. The hard part is still to come.
When they launched this protest they probably did not imagine it would go as far as it has already gone. But now a historic responsibility, which comes only once every few generations, is placed on their young, inexperienced shoulders. They can change Israel fundamentally - in the words of one of their slogans: "Get our state back!"
A monumental opportunity. Let's cross our fingers.

Editor's Note: This is one in the Sentinel's "Where Are They Now?" series about Ramona graduates — where they are and what they are doing.
By Marta Zarrella
K.L. Osborne is a fifth generation Ramonan who returned home after living in several places in California, New Mexico, Texas and Missouri.
He was born on Christmas Eve in 1965 with club feet, which defined his young life. He wore a brace on his left foot to straighten it. His right foot required surgery. As a child, K.L. was told he would probably never be able to wear boots, making his dream of being a cowboy difficult.
"My mother, Ardella Brisendine, was like Granny Clampett (from the 1960s television show "The Beverly Hillbillies")," said Osborne. "She was tough. I didn't get any slack because I had bad feet. Neither did my brothers."
Osborne gives his mother credit for the dedication and determination that has served him many times. Wearing boots after his surgery was painful, but not working through the pain was never an option.
Ardella is a member of the Swycaffer family, pioneers who came to Ballena Valley in the 1850s.
Osborne grew up around horses. Grandma Osborne gave him his first pony when he was in about the third grade. It was wild and feisty, as ponies can be. In true cowboy fashion, young Osborne jumped on his pony and rode. He came off and got a nasty scab on his face. It hurt a lot, but working with this pony was something that he knew he had to do.
His next horse project began in about fourth grade when a neighbor taught Osborne the art of driving horses. He learned how to drive a single (one horse), tandem (two horses, one in front of another) and team (two horses side by side).
The neighbor bought Osborne a pony and a pony cart. One day the pony spooked, flipped the cart and dragged it for several blocks. Neither Osborne nor the pony were hurt. "I've never broken a bone working with these horses, though I've been scraped up and had body parts rearranged," he said. "Like my nose that was pretty banged up one day. The vet was on the ranch, so he stitched me up."
Osborne's equine education continued throughout his youth. As an eighth-grader, he worked for Casey Tibbs, world champion professional cowboy who was director of Western activities in San Diego Country Estates. Tibbs called Osborne "sleezy foot" and taught him how to "sack out" a horse. (Sacking out a horse is the process of literally using a sack to desensitize the horse to scary sights, sounds and sensations.)
Osborne was a fan of Tibbs, having watched the movie "Born to Buck," which Tibbs both starred in and directed. Osborne and his brothers attended Tibbs' 1980 wedding to Sandra Clark. Roy Rogers was best man, Rex Allen and Steve Ford (son of President Gerald Ford) were groomsmen and Sons of Pioneers, one of the first Western singing groups, provided entertainment.
Roy Rogers would not give the Osborne brothers his autograph, Osborne said, but the Sons of Pioneers did, making the boys extremely happy.
As soon as he graduated from Ramona High School in 1985, Osborne moved to Riverside County and began working for several horse trainers and horse traders. His best education came from working for Bob Franks.
Franks, said Osborne, was a big guy who worked hard during the day and drank hard from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. seven days a week. He taught Osborne how to break horses as well as how to give shots, castrate a stud, and clip a nervous horse.
The ranch had 35 broodmares and three stallions in their breeding program. Each month Franks and Osborne would work 150 horses. Franks would give orders and Osborne would ride the horses.
They used old-fashioned cowboy techniques to teach the young horses. Though the techniques used then involved tying and hobbling the horse, saddling and bridling them as 2-year-olds, and riding them with only two or three days of work, Osborne's kind, quiet nature and his skill as a rider produced many happy "green broke" horses for his employers.
Like so many young cowboys, Osborne enjoyed drinking after work, smoking and on occasion other things to relieve the stress of his work. All of that took a toll on him in his early 20s.
"I went through the motions every day," he said. "I'd look at the mirror to brush my teeth and get ready, but I really didn't ever look at myself."
He was so low that one day he picked up a handgun and contemplated shooting himself. "I looked in the mirror and finally saw myself," he said. "I saw dark circles under my eyes, my face was sunken. I was scared by my thoughts."
He poured through the memories of his life and decided that day that he wanted to keep on making good memories. He decided then and there to stop his destructive behavior and begin loving himself. He realized that to really feel the horse, he had to stop numbing himself.
"I just decided to be happy every day," he said. "I did daily affirmations. I didn't learn that anywhere, I just started doing it and it works."
Osborne has enjoyed working with horses and horse people in many locations, including raising Fox Trotters in Missouri, but he is living his dream now. He works in and around Ramona as a mobile horse trainer.
"I'm living my dream," he said. "I have a blessed life working with great people and their horses. Every morning, I do a 20-mile bike ride, something I never thought I'd be able to do with my feet."
But, said Osborne, where there is a will, there is a way. His reason for sharing his story is to encourage people to follow their dreams.
"There will be trials and tribulations, but if you have a dream and put time into making it happen, I'm proof that dreams can come true."

Another announcement by Google this week – one that didn't get quite as much play as the launch at I/O of Google Play Music All Access and improvements to its search, map and Google + services – was this: Support for JSON-LD markup in Gmail.
The W3C in April published a Last Call Working Draft for JSON-LD 1.0 (JavaScript Object Notation for Linking Data), a lightweight Linked Data format to give data context. It has been shepherded along for some time by the JSON for Linked Data Community Group.
Manu Sporny, who has been instrumental in JSON-LD's development and is one of the authors of the draft, heralds the news here in his blog, noting that it means that Gmail now will be able to recognize people, places, events and a variety of other Linked Data objects, and that actions may be taken on the Linked Data objects embedded in an e-mail. "For example, if someone sends you an invitation to a party, you can do a single-click response on whether or not you'll attend a party right from your inbox. Doing so will also create a reminder for the party in your calendar," he writes.
The news was greeted with enthusiasm on a W3C JSON LD message round, as, as Sporny describes it, "pretty big validation of the technology."
While noting that Google followed the standard closely, Sporny does point out some issues with the implementation – including a major one that Google isn't using the JSON-LD @context parameter correctly in its markup examples:
Because it's using a text string instead of a URL, he notes, its JSON-LD documents are unreadable by all of the conforming JSON-LD processors today. The fix, he says, is to just add "http://" to the beginning of the "schema.org" value, or else JSON-LD processors will have to include a special hack to translate "schema.org" to "http://schema.org/" just for this use case.
Dan Brickley, developer advocate at Google, commented on the email string that Google can parse this if written @context="http://schema.org, and that it will find a way to document that. He also noted that Google would like to start a conversation about allowing the simpler, shorter form by defaulting to http:// if not present. At last look, the conversation was continuing on the public list, so feel free to check in and stay up to date, as well as read Sporny's blog for a further discussion of the other issues he's hoping Google engineers will address.
Writes Sporny, "The JSON-LD community is excited about this development and looks forward to working with Google to improve the recent release of JSON-LD for Gmail."

Most people would agree that Oscar's Best Original Song category hasn't worked right in at least a decade. Oh there have been a couple of great moments. Three 6 Mafia's performance was electric and watching the cast of Once get up there to do their thing was kind of special. But for the most part, the Oscar night performance of the music nominated for Best Original Song is a boring, tedious, time-suck. I still think there's a way to fix it. Drop "original" from the category, for instance, to allow a wider variety of music to be performed. But this year's Oscar producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic are going a different direction. They're dropping the performers.
Deadline says they've informed the artists nominated for Best Original Song that they won't be invited to perform at this year's Academy Awards ceremony. Instead, they'll play some sort of video montage of scenes from each film while the music in question plays. The idea is to provide context for the music. Of course that only makes any sense when the nominees aren't songs which played during the credits, and more often than not they are.
This decision comes in a year where the Academy already limited the number of Original Song nominees to help speed things along. Hopefully, if they're ditching the performers, this also means they'll only play excerpts from each piece of nominated music, rather than forcing us to sit there and stare at an endless clip montage while forced to waste time listening to the whole thing.
Still, it's hard not to think of the missed opportunity here. How great would it have been to see Jeff Bridges up there on stage, with his guitar, belting out "The Weary Kind"? If it saves us from having to sit through the awful music of Nine, I guess it's worth the sacrifice.

text: Greetings, I am pretty much a noob to the forum and a noob to rooting. I have had a hero for about a year upgraded to 2.1 on my own no problem. Been debating rooting and thinking about using superoneclick. Did a little research online and had some questions was hoping someone would clarify for me. Once I run the root is there anything special that needs to be done after? Mainly i want to do this to remove bloat and move apps to sd to free up internal memory. Probably will try some roms but not till later. Is one click as easy it sounds? Any answers are appreciated. Thanks.

As Canada's combat role in Afghanistan winds down, attention is focusing increasingly on the soldiers who come back home with sometimes horrible physical and psychological wounds – and complaints that their treatment is less than ideal. This country no longer has a network of military hospitals to care for those veterans, but a unique new program based in Kingston, Ontario, and announced Thursday, will dedicate itself to their needs.
Led by Queen's University and the Royal Military College, the network of researchers at universities across Canada will look at health issues affecting serving soldiers and veterans,
Said Dr. Alice Aiken, a Queen's rehabilitation-therapy professor and director of the new Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research:
This institute will harness the national research capacity to ensure the men and women who serve our country have access to the most current healthcare knowledge possible.

Scientists have finally isolated the "110%" gene that sets sportsman apart from us mere mortals. Staggeringly though it may seem most sportsman claim to give "110%" very few are actually capable of doing this as they do not possess the "110%" gene. Professor Tom Foolery of the Life Institute of Education (L.I.E) states:
"The gene which is closely related to the "Completus-Bollockus" cell group appears in around ten per cent of sportsmen. Meaning a select few can actually achieve "110%" worth of effort."
The gene was discovered by Hermann Hermann a German who likes to dress as a merman on the weekends. He added:
"We hope to be able to extract the gene and place it inside other athletes who aren't fortunate enough to naturally possess the gene. We hope to bind it to their existing genetic structure and developed a whole new race of super soldiers. Did I say super soldiers? I meant long jumpers. Graceful, deadly, leaping long jumpers..."
Herman's voice trailed off and his right arm jerked around violently as if attempting to shoot up in the air. Like some sort of salute perhaps? No, Back and to the Left news doesn't make wild accusations against members of the scientific community; that's just not our style.

3 Threats Facing Academic Medical Centers
AMCs are facing a few systematic setbacks that could hurt their profitability — up to 10 percent of traditional AMC revenue could be at risk due to external funding threats, according to the report. Since the average AMC operating revenue is 5 percent, these financial threats could completely eliminate profit margins for many AMCs.
The following issues are posing the greatest threats to AMCs today:
Rising budgetary and political pressures. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will change the AMC's payor mix, leaving Medicaid as a larger source of revenue and commercial payors less dominant. Cuts to Medicare's Indirect Medical Education funding could also leave AMCs hurting, as 70 percent of AMC leaders identified this as a threat to their institutions, according to the report. Other pressures include states reducing funding for indigent care and more Americans with health insurance, thus using more health services.
Low quality rankings and imprudent affiliations could harm the AMC brand. When The Joint Commission ranked the top quality performers of 2010, only a few major AMCs were included among the 405 hospitals. While this was only one setback to the brand, AMC leaders may be underestimating the significance of quality standards and rankings.
Only 49 percent of major AMCs felt that not meeting new quality standards posed a threat to their organization, according to the report. With recent legislation strengthening the link between quality and reimbursement, AMCs may put the latter at risk by not aggressively driving quality improvement.
Old AMC structure is not designed to overcome new challenges. "The highly decentralized governance structures at AMCs threaten their ability to respond to the challenges of the current and future healthcare environment," according to the report. Since AMCs are generally comprised of numerous related entities — a medical college, a research center and several hospitals — governance is complicated and change can be slow.
The report found AMC leaders are hesitant to address issues related to AMC governance. When asked how their organizations planned to manage internal and external challenges, 28 percent said by creating one governance structure and 11 percent said by consolidating academic departments or centers. Instead of altering governance structures, more leaders listed streamlining operations (82 percent) or integrating EMRs (74 percent) as strategies to solve challenges..

Man arrested over Quinn murder
A man was arrested today by detectives investigating the brutal murder of south Armagh man Paul Quinn.
Mr Quinn, 21, from Cullyhanna, was beaten to death by a gang in an isolated barn in Co Monaghan in October 2007.
Gardai said the latest suspect was arrested in Co Louth early this morning.
The man, in his mid-30s, is being detained at Carrickmacross garda station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
Seventeen people have been arrested in connection with the cross-border investigation by An Garda Siochana and the PSNI.
Mr Quinn was lured into a cattle shed close to the Irish border and beaten to death.
He died from multiple injuries, due to blunt force trauma.
Paramilitary ceasefire watchdog the International Monitoring Commission (IMC) said those behind the murder were either former Provisional IRA members or associates.

I was diagnosed with an inguinal hernia a few months back. The doctor told me that as long as it didn't cause unbearable pain, I was fine to wait (indefinitely) to have it surgically repaired. So, for the foreseeable future, I'm living with it because it doesn't really bother me.
The last few days I've noticed that when I'm sexually aroused I get pain in the area slightly below where my hernia bulge is. Is this normal? A sign of a complication? Something to be aware of? It's not unbearable pain, but it's noticeable and the type that is very, very uncomfortable mainly because it feels different (not worse) than normal pain.

Q. I dropped something on the bonnet of my car and scratched the paint. Will I need to get it fixed to stop the bonnet rusting?
A. It will depend on the depth of the scratch. If it has broken through the paintwork down to the metal then, yes, it will start to rust if the bonnet is made of steel. (Cars with aluminum won't rust; if you're unsure, put a magnet on the bonnet and if it sticks, it's steel.)
Either way, it's best to get it fixed quickly. Options depend on how much you want to spend on the problem. You could fix the area yourself with touch-up paint, or you could use a business that will visit your home or workplace to do this.
The best and most effective way would be to have the bonnet resprayed at a panel shop. It's the most expensive option but your car will look as it should, which is especially important when it comes time to sell.

Deputy will not be charged
October 15, 2004
The District Attorney's Office reported Friday that it will not file charges against a former sheriff's deputy who was fired six months ago and accused of allegedly having sex with a high school student.
In a letter sent Thursday to the Routt County Sheriff's Office, Assistant District Attorney Kerry St. James said the girl, who was 17 at the time of the incident, was unwilling to cooperate with the investigation.
Routt County Sheriff John Warner reacted to the decision Friday.
"I stand by the termination of (the deputy) for moral and ethical violations of our policies and procedures," he said.
"It is extremely unfortunate that criminal charges can't be filed because of the victim not being able to cooperate," he said.
The former deputy's attorney, Charles Feldmann, was not immediately available for comment.

The DA's Office thought there was enough evidence to present to a jury that the girl fit the definition of a child, that the deputy was in a position of trust and that the girl acknowledged they engaged in sexual intercourse on five or six occasions in the fall and winter of 2003.
"Unfortunately, the information and detail needed to pursue a prosecution to trial in this matter is significantly incomplete. This is a result of an unwillingness on the part of (the girl) to cooperate in the investigation of this matter. She has and continues to refuse to answer the questions that must be answered to pursue a prosecution of this case," St. James wrote.
The letter goes on to state the girl was aware that her refusal to cooperate means the state can't pursue prosecution. "In fact, it is her desire that a prosecution not go forward, and she seeks to actively obstruct any efforts to prosecute this matter," the letter states.
St. James also noted that the deputy had exercised his right not to answer any questions asked by a state investigator. Shortly after the deputy's termination from the sheriff's office, he retained Feldmann, who required that all communications between the DA's Office and the deputy had to go through him.
All efforts to interview the deputy were fruitless, the letter noted.
According to the letter from the DA's Office, the girl and the deputy were involved in a school-sanctioned program during the 2003-04 school year.
The deputy was placed on administrative leave in April, when allegations surfaced about a sexual relationship between him and the student. He was fired less than two days later, after a brief internal investigation, and the sheriff's office handed the case to the DA's Office for further investigation and possible prosecution.
According to the letter, Investigator Ray Birch learned that the girl gave an initial interview to Routt County Sheriff's Office investigators Rachelle Redmond and Ken Klinger. In that interview, she denied having sexual contact with the deputy.
On the same day, the girl gave a statement to Undersheriff Dan Taylor in which she said that for about two months, she had a consensual, intimate relationship with the deputy. She said their relationship included sexual intercourse on a number of occasions.
Another deputy reportedly told an investigator the man in question had told him he had sexual contact with the girl numerous times.
More than a month later, Birch interviewed the girl, who then refused to answer any questions about any sexual activity with the deputy, except to say they had intercourse fewer times than she had told Taylor.
The girl also reportedly forbade her parents to speak to Birch. The parents respected those wishes.
In deciding whether to press charges, St. James wrote that he had to consider the probability of conviction on those charges and that the prosecution should file only charges that it thinks can be substantiated by admissible evidence at trial.
"The lack of cooperation on the part of (the girl) makes the likelihood of a conviction not only uncertain, but an impossibility," the letter states.
Although the DA's Office has decided not to press charges at this time, the statue of limitations keeps the case opened for 10 years from the date the girl reached the age of 18. The state reserved the right to reconsider the charges if the girl agrees to cooperate in the investigation or if additional information from other witnesses becomes available.

Report: Lincoln Chafee To Change Parties
Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee is reportedly looking to switch party affiliations and become a Democrat in advance of his 2014 reelection bid. Elected as an independent in 2010 in a three-way race, Chafee, a former Republican senator, has suffered from low approval ratings in the Ocean State. He will likely face a tough race against a handful of Democrats, including Angel Taveras, the mayor of Providence, and Gina Raimondo, the state treasurer.

EUR/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General Overview
The euro growth, which went versus the dollar in the first half of Thursday, was stopped in the U.S. session after a presentation of the ECB President Draghi M. in Vienna, where it was stated that the European Central Bank is preparing an additional non-standard measures of monetary policy to protect against the deflation risks. This news increased the likelihood of additional softening measures in the euro area policy and rebuilt the market in favor of shelter currencies.
The support is 1.3860, and the resistance is 1.3925.
There is a strong northern movement. The price is above the Cloud and below the Chinkou Span. The upward movement will be until the Kijun-Sen is above the price. The Tenkan-Sen is crossing the Kijun-Sen upward. Both lines are horizontal.
Bollinger Bands indicator is broadening showing high market volatility.
MACD histogram is in the positive area. The indicator is decreasing, giving a sell signal.
Trading recommendations
The rise up in the euro versus the dollar was stopped by the 1.3925 resistance line. Apparently, today's trading session will take place in the light of strengthening consolidation. We expect 1.3800 testing and a possible test of 1.3765 as well.

the Court decided to suspend the broadcasting of Russian channels during the dispute about the legitimacy of their work, submitted by the National Council on television and radio broadcasting on March 24. As reported in the SBU, the lawsuit was submitted to the company which is the main relay these channels. The company, which was discussed in the Ministry did not name.
How UNIAN reports, the ban covers four Russian TV channels: RTR, "First channel", "Russia-24" and NTV, whose programs national Council on the eve demanded to be recognized as not corresponding to the Ukrainian and international legislation. According to the data for March 25 for the transmission of television channels stopped 334 of 703 Ukrainian providers, informs "Interfax" referring to the statement of the Ministry.
national the Council on television and radio broadcasting has demanded to stop broadcasting on the territory of Ukraine channel "Vesti", "Russia 24", "First channel. World network", "RTR Planeta" and "NTV - Mir" on March 11. Such measures at the office explained by the need to ensure information security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. A number of providers refused to turn off the Russian TV channels.
Limitations on the broadcasting of Russian channels were introduced after the Crimea, the government refused to recognize the new authorities in Kiev to cut off the broadcasting of all the Ukrainian TV channels, accusing them of "one-eyed" coverage of the situation on the Peninsula, distorting facts and anti-Russian propaganda.

What you need
- A large lump of playdough
Using half the playdough, make a flat round face shape with the playdough.
Encourage your child to fill in the face by modelling smaller bits of playdough for eyes, mouth, ears etc. Ask your child questions as she works: 'Is this a sad face or a happy face?' 'Why is the face happy/sad?' Not only will you learn a lot about your child's inner world but you will build her self-esteem by showing great interest in what she is feeling and thinking.
- Using different coloured lumps of playdough will make this activity more colourful and interesting.
- For very young children, this is a great way to teach them the names of different parts of the face: point to your eyes and say, 'eyes' then help her model some dough eyes for her playdough face.
- For really creative children you can suggest making more imaginative 'monster' faces with no rules. Two noses? No problem. Four eyes? The more the better! You might ask your child to explain why the monster needs two noses. Children often have a very strong sense of inner logic to explain things that seem highly improbable to adults!

Anyone needing a quick summary of the main tension lines in Europe as they currently stand can probably not do any better than the attached 3 minute explanation by Kyle Bass. And while he just participated in a far longer Q&A with BBC's Hardtalk program, which we will bring to you shortly, the attached video explains more in 150 seconds than a full day of watching the financial funny channel from basic cable. In a nutshell: Europe is about to see trillions in debt written down (the only mathematical explanation which makes sense, as presented for the nth time earlier by Charles Hugh Smith), the "profligate idiot" spenders of Southern Europe are not going to be bailed out by Germany, which has decided it has had enough of the "Mexican standoff" within the Eurozone, and will not be held by the short hairs any longer. And as for the quote that captures the total and utter chaos in Europe: "they have a German pope and an Italian central banker." Nuf said.

I love that guy.
Has anyone ever lived through a complete and total worldwide bond market collapse? Please tell me what it's like, all the jucy details, I really want to know.
This much shit hitting the fan at one time, will result in WW3. The question is just when and where.
Bass, give us a book, a newsletter or something more then what was offered in Boomerang - which was easily the best part of the book!
to michael and interested others: the bond market from about the early beatles to the clash (combat rock) went from roughly current (last year) yields to above 15%. some credit risk but most adverse interest rate movement. hands down the worst bear market in dollar or pound bonds in history, especially in real terms.
however the template that seems more appropriate, imo, is the bond market collapse in 1930-2: http://thehousingtimebomb.blogspot.com/2009/05/great-bond-crash-of-1930s... a bit simplistic but it's a chart. that time was more credit quality and less pure interest rate movement.
O.T. and obviously a highjack...
Just out of concerned curiosity, has anyone here actually tested their gold and silver for purity on many occasions to know you have a valid source?
Ultrasonic is way easier.
seek, please expound... Especially for coins (Gold Eagles).
Ultrasonic testers measure the speed of sound in the material they are testing. There are two approaches, one is to use a UTG (ultrasonic thickness gauge, used in industry) to measure the thickness of the coin when it's set for gold; if the coin is tampered with the thickness will be off. UTGs run about $600-$900. UTGs are better for larger gold items (bars and 1 oz coins), and will detected gold-plated tungsten or lead-filled silver bars easily as the thickness indicated will be way off from what's measured with calipers. FYI, PAMP uses ultrasonic testing for quality control and Goldmoney uses it for acceptance testing.
Presumably the pure ultrasonic gold testers work as well, but I've not gotten my hands on one yet (though I recently ordered a Auracle to test out.) These rely purely on the speed of sound measured, and read out either "not gold" or the karat content. I'd stay away from the cheapies (I think Mizar is the cheap one, but reviews say it's a bit too complicated to use easily.) As a plus, it works on jewelry too. I'll let everyone know how the Auracle works out.
In any case, it's very hard to spoof ultrasonic testers because the material properties of the "fake" metals are so different. Tungsten and lead's speed of sound is way different than gold, so it really sticks out when it's gauged with one of these devices.
I would imagine that it will be cost prohibitive to manufacture fake 1 oz coins with tungsten or other materials. Especially maples or eagles.
Bearing in mind that you can not do that en masse, or too many times. Nonetheless, I love to have one of these testers.
Tungsten can easily be identified using a magnet.I would be worried only about gold plated platinum coins in the future.

@ paarsons
dewd, that blog is awesome. is it urs?
@Michael, far too many of the PMs now have never even seen a good bear market in bonds. Like Jeff alluded, the last real bond bear was the 87 setup for the stock crash when the long bond dropped 30% in ~6 months. I was on the sell side that year. We came in, got any clients we could talk into a short position short, and then went to drink lunch until 5 when we went back to the office to pick up our briefcases. That event was more internationally flavored as the Japanese were heralded for taking down most of the Jun 86 long bond refunding at a then rally low 7.16%. The buy and hold among them didn't get above water for seven years.
Also, as Jeff mentions, the 30's event was more credit than interest rate driven. Uncle Warren was born that year, so I doubt there are too many traders left who remember how that felt. It didn't attract as much attention because 1) most people don't understand bonds, 2) the stock jockeys are the ones who jump out of windows and they did that they year before and 3) bond traders prefer pistols to windows. Jeff, don't discount the 30's event as credit driven too greatly; the train wreck we are watching is obviously credit driven.
Love may be too strong a word for your analysis, but I have extreme liking for it.
Thanks for the info Jeff.
I love it when my plans come together.
The self destruct sequence for the international banking cartel has been initiated and there is no fail safe mechanism in place.

Thank God China has enough spare housing already built in their country to last them a decade, even if they don't build another single house or condo till then.
That should keep them off our backs for a while cause they'll still be pretty comfortable for a while. They even got the worlds largest dam in the world out of the deal, The Three Gorges Dam.
This is great, thanks for posting.
This guy is way wrong. His reasoning for Germany to not going all in is because "it would not benefit Germany in the long run." That is terrible reasoning. When has the long run made a difference to these politicians and bankers? The question he should be asking is "if Germany goes all in, will it benefit the politicians and bankers in the SHORT RUN?" And the answer is yes, because the malinvestments will be kept hidden.
And the real consequence to Germany opting out is the collapse of the entire banking system of the western world..so there's going to be no pressure from anybody else / sarc.
Just in case anyone doesn't understand what I'm saying, I mean if Germany doesn't bail out the Euro, your money doesn't come out of the ATM, you can't get your cash at the bank, your money in the SLV will be unredeemable, you're pension is gone, you're mortgage is no longer, your student loans are taken care of, social security doesn't come, food stamps don't work, your government job can't pay you, etc.,...
Don't be silly Mr. Silver. You just print your own money. Lira, drachma, escudo, peseta etc. And Germany will go back to the Mark. The political opposition loves to see Merkel on a stake.
France will be the first bitch to reintroduce the Franc as the French banks own all those bonds that will collapse.
Excuse me sir but Dick Bove said I would be just fine.
Couldn't agree more with your logic! You can default to what would be the easiest way out and thats what the political clowns will do especially with the banksters blowing sweet nothings in their ears....It wll work for maybe six months....but that is better than the alternative to the spineless crowd in power....
The short term and the long term have melded.
It's that impending.
Even worse, it will be mostly staged. Large scale depopulation... it's in the cards.
Shh...don't ruin the (morbidly) exciting part.
The rest is just...
History is the set of lies agreed upon. - Napoleon Bonaparte
?? Looks like Celente got caught in the MF mess.
It'll start with someone asking for gold as collateral for loans. All of a sudden it won't just be tradition anymore
Hasn't Germany already been asked that?
In an honorable society, that would be the way to do it. But in this one, what is the point of bonds? Just print the f'ing money and there you go.
I think this is the elephant in the room that doesn't get enough notice. Lesser things have led to massively destructive wars in the past.
Judging from the troop movements and saber rattling, Iran.
Here's what's likely:
- Israel bombs Iran to take out nuclear facilities.
- Iran mobilizes and calls all their Arab neighbors to help them.
- US jumps in on the side of Israel, maybe even gets NATO to join.
- Russia jumps in on the side of Iran.
- A conventional 'hot war' begins. Maybe even just a proxy war. No nukes, but lots of killing on both sides.
- China sits in the back eating popcorn and selling weapons to both sides, happily watching its rivals kill eachother off and spend all their money in the process. They would, intelligently, only accept gold or Yuan as payment.
- China emerges as the sole remaining superpower in the world, similar to how the US was after WWII.
No US land war in Iran. You can rest assured that will not happen. Much of the rest of your scenario is certainly possible.
China is defaulting on it's own debt as we post, internally.
Oh, and Obama moving in to help Israel, not going to happen.
Of course if they elect some dufus repub to the office then the senerio may get a bit of a nod.
China isn't in good enough shape. It can't manage as an economy that can't export.
Read, China Finanacial Markets link at top left. Then "some predictions for the rest of the decade".
China has no internal market.
You saying the Commander in Chief. B. Hussein, will commit US troops and materiel in a large-scale shootin' war
a) to help the one country on earth he despises more than the US b) by bombing and killing his beloved moslem warriors on a grand scale - none of this "2 or 3 guys a week via predator" jive c) with an election coming up?
I dawn theeenk so, Luthy. Sure, dipshit-in-chief Barry takes his orders from his bankster puppetmasters just like all the assholes in D.C. do, but even as scummy as he is, there are just some Rubicons he ain't gonna cross. Your scenario has him crossing *3* of them. Not likely.
Obama binLaden will do as he is told.
Nothing more...nothing less!
Iran might call their Arab neighbors to join them. But you have to remember that i) Iranians aren't Arabs (they're Persians), and most of the Arab states are run by despots who rely on the US for their power, and iii) Iran are Shia, so the Sunni states won't give a damn what happens to them. Syria, Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas... yes, they might heed the call, but the other Arab states will either stay neutral or help the US, covertly or even overtly if they think the blow to Iran will be sufficiently crushing that Iran's ability to retaliate will be deferred for a generation. This is why, if there is an attack on Iran, I think Israel and the US will go 'all in' - they can't afford to do anything less, Iran's retaliation would be too costly.
Russia would never openly go to war with the US. It is too militarily weak. Supply lots of high-end anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, and achieve a strategic rebalancing between itself and the US, as well as some tasty revenge for the US supplying the stinger missiles that drove the Soviets out of Afghanistan? Now, that I can believe.
So Michael, your'e big picture thinking about the end game of the global fiat credit ponzi. Obviously fiat money is a confidence game. Legacy thinking of the hard money crowd has always had the end game market discipline mechanism as some populist notion of individual's sound money acceptance. But the individual is no longer the vortex of finance. In our modern system of digitized money with all it's convenient features and central government hegemonic sponsorship it is difficult to grasp the seminal event that tips the balance of the confidence game away from digitized fiat. Old habits are hard to break and the sheeple appear disengaged from monetary reality.
Recent history has afforded us strong clues of what a modern collapse of systemic confidence will look like. The institutional collateral margin call is a glaring example of system vulnerability. How easy we forget LTCM, Bear Stearns, Lehman and now MF Global. Yet, in the fiat ponzi world there appears to be no limit to sovereign collateral creation and liquidity injection.
Wether it is securitization programs, repo finance, interest rate swaps, special purpose vehicles or credit default swaps, this financialization of our economy is all just more shadow banking leverage. This on and off-balance sheet leverage must all be funded with some assigned collateral attached.
The shadow banking system lives and dies on collateral values. And the current global ponzi requires almost no buffer for sovereign assets. The shadow banking system has very little buffer. There is little or no equity buffer in repo haircuts, overcollateralization of securitizations, or collateral calls in the swaps markets. The only mechanisms sustaining institutional systemic confidence are central bank liquidity and the collateral call. And the collateral call has increasingly been met by limitless sovereign issuance.
So we are left with institutional system confidence entirely dependent on unlimited growth of sovereign collateral. But also, we are left with the assumption that sovereign collateral will not deteriorate in value. Certainly, the tax authority and the monetization ability of sovereigns appears limitless when compared to the cash flow support of collateral in the private economy-yet, we are now seeing the limits of sovereign collateral growth.
For indeed, there are limits to the growth of sovereign collateral. Having witnessed the replacement of the private sector credit bubble with a public sector credit bubble, the sovereign periphery crises warns of the end of the sovereign credit bubble. As weaker sovereign guarantees are replaced by the guarantees of reserve currencies, the relative value of the most debased reserve currencies decline versus oil, land or precious metals. This is not the type of inflation normally fought by central bankers because the crowded out real economy only allows for real appreciation in precious metals.
Ironically, the very shadow banking system that benefits those operators of the growth of financialization like global investment banks; is a system that grows dependent upon precious metal collateral to survive. Precious metals become the last collateral standing as the only collateral that cannot be debased. While many of these operators in the global fiat ponzi have found comfort in their ability to extort seemingly endless sovereign collateral to further their schemes, it's debasement will diminish it's relative use for collateral calls.
And so, it will not be the man in the street that demands sound money. It will be the institutional counter-party that ironically destroys his own fiat game as he demands the last collateral standing.
It means that we will have to have a war in order to keep our respected countries from splintering from no money, no promises kept and no one going to jail.
I for one would rather go to prison than fight for the bankers
Let's hope the soldiers feel that way too. Talk about societal upheaval if they start another war in the middle east for no reason. The American people simply won't put up with it in my opinion. I know I won't.
The longest war in American history is the current war in Afghanistan. 95% of Americans do not know the reason for the war. American people are "putting up with it" just fine.
Unfortunately, you appear to be correct. Eventually, the sheep will get the idea, and revolt, but it may take more than killing a few (hundred thousand) 'ragheads' off-stage to bring it about. Sadly.
Fantastic Writeup. Concise and clear and reasonable.
@ TimmyM
I agree with Mr. D. Jones re your really nice & concise analysis of the lack of real collateral to support our paper heavy (and electrons at the bank heavy) financial system.
Gold at FOFOA's $55,000 would be very nice collateral if it comes to that.
Probably why in the last minutes of the hardtalk interview (not posted yet) Kyle advises people to buy gold and guns (should have included grub).

Watch it SHOOT OUT ITS PHARYNGEAL JAWS (secondary jaws in the throat, basically). For the record, before this no one knew pharyngeal jaws were used for capture. It's just… Awesome!

"You cannot beat a good Agatha Christie"
A series of short stories (with sudden endings) but I have listened several times
Edward - he sound so sweet, had a really great evening
Yes - well read as always
"listerdale mystery"
enjoyable and most entertaining while I was driving for several hours not boring at all
"Short and fun. "
Short, amusing stories that make for an easy listening. Each story still has the Christie charm.
A little scary in parts so not a book to listen to in the dark!

Perhaps due to the band's unique lineup situation (with the exception of vocalist Oderus Urungus, perpetually embodied by the mighty Dave Brockie, incoming members usually assume the role of the established characters, so you can never be too sure who is actually playing on any given release) or simply an experimental nature producing experimental results, no two albums sound quite the same. It's an aspect both intriguing and frustrating as one works their way through the albums….will I be banging my head as if up from the dead or rolling my eyes as if un-amused? With this toilet album…probably a little bit of both.
Stylistically, This Toilet Earth is a bit less out-there than the previous effort, sounding more like the second coming of Hell-O with its weak production, surplus of throwaway tunes, and hardcore-emphasis. It's a definite exercise in quantity over quality, spreading the winners a bit thinner than usual. There's some funky stuff ("Pepperoni," "Pocket Pool"), some punky stuff ("Jack the World," "Krak Down," "Fight"), and a lot you probably won't care to remember, even after a few listens. It seems likes it was deliberately engineered to outdo the band's other albums in terms of pure disposability, as though GWAR was just cranking this one out so they could get back out on the road and tour. With this I can sympathize: GWAR was designed to be experienced live. But the albums must still exist in the interim, and I just wish they'd have put more of an effort into this one. Besides, these days most of their 90's stuff never gets performed anyway, leaving us with a ton of "chuckle once and recycle" tracks cluttering up a handful of albums that could make a killer greatest (s)hits collection with a little discretion.
As such, no GWAR album is without its classics. "Saddam A Go-Go" is a perfect opener, blending a horn section into the established GWAR rhythm madness. Skulhedface, a character that would come to deserve his own film, has a very interesting, insidious soliloquy, which features a hilariously corny showtune breakdown in the midst of a horde of riff changes. But as a whole, the album is not the resplendently quotable ordeal that many other GWAR albums are; even the intentionally offensive stuff like "BDF" and "Slap U Around" just aren't quite up to snuff.
Fans of GWAR's punkier essence might just disagree. I say flush it.

There's haskell-src: http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/libraries/haskell-src/Language-Haskell-Syntax.html And people wonder why I decided to abuse template haskell instead of using the standard AST type. You do NOT want to go there. Not until Oleg invents a way to make this stuff automatic, anyway. Stefan

CPU fan runs when playing audio
My laptop's CPU fan runs at high speed whenever I play audio, although the CPU usage is very low. I think it might have something to do with my having the high quality libmad or not configuring ALSA correctly. It's annoying hearing the fan screaming when I'm trying to listen to my audio. Thanks
Thanks for the help
Where is the high quality libmad ? libmad is already high quality.
libmad will increase your CPU usage even if it was low. I would think that either the threshold is being reached or something that was already in the coreboot took effect with the addition of the new library. Doesn't seem likely, but I suppose it's possible.
You can change how and when the CPU fan kicks off with hardware monitoring utilities: http://lm-sensors.org/ and http://openhardwaremonitor.org/.
Does it happen when you play non-compressed audio files (like WAV I suppose) ? If these uncompressed files don't result in fan noise, then I'd bet it's because your CPU is experiencing a slightly higher load to uncompress the files and this results in a load and/or heat increase that is moving the fan into a higher speed. It is possible on some machines to control the speed of the fan relative to certain other parameters, but I'm not familiar with how to do this on a linux machine. On a windows machine I have, there is an AMD utility which lets you specify a graph to map load/heat onto a particular fan speed.
If you choose to keep the fan low or off when the load or heat increases, you should be careful -- you don't want to overheat your system or it may fail.
It's not easy on a laptop, but it may be possible to replace the fan with a quieter one if the fan is of a standard size. I tried tweaking my AMD 6-core desktop fan's settings and nothing helped. Eventually, I bought a new Heat Sink / Fan and that fixed the problem. Stock AMD fans are loud and cheap. A new $50 HSF and now it's completely silent regardless of how much load it has.
Also, the fan speeds up and remains high for no reason after starting the KDE Amarok music player, even if I don't start playing any audio.
See this bug:
ALSA emulates?
Is it true that ALSA emulates?
How would I configure ALSA specifically for my audio card, etc.?
Also, I'm running on a 64 bit system.
I still don't understand why the CPU fan speeds up and my CPU temp increases ~10 °F although my CPU usage remains minimal. I've used htop to look at the threads of, e.g., Amarok, but no one thread is more intensive than another. It's as though whenever a sound-playing program opens the ALSA library, my CPU heats up ~10 °F. Is there a way to find out what libraries are sapping my resources? Thanks
If you want help here, you should tell us which hardware you're using, please post the output of
lspci -k
uname -a
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
Linux alan 3.2.29 #1 SMP Mon Sep 17 13:38:05 CDT 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU U 330 @ 1.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
I've tried different Phonon backends, too, but the same problem occurs, so perhaps it is a hardware issue. (The same problem occurs even when using XFCE instead of KDE.) I've also heard that ALSA emulates; is that true?
As I wrote in another thread, my friend has an Intel i5 processor with onboard-graphics and Windows 7, and even this laptop has always the fan running her the kids play games. I suppose that this is due to the graphics adapter which likely porduces more heat than the CPU.
Referring to the output of uname -r your processor has only 1.2 GHz, this will not produce much heat.
same problem even playing audio on HDMI device
Also, the internal fan speeds up the same way when I play audio to through HDMI, too.

A pastor in Florida who incited the criticism of political and religious leaders for planning to burn a copies of the Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks announced on Thursday afternoon that he is canceling the event.
Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainsville, Fla. previously said his intention in burning the book was to raise "hard questions" about its content and the nature of Islam. Jones' church reportedly has around 50 members.
The pastor sparked global outrage with his plans, prompting harsh criticism from U.S. government officials, Catholic bishops and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Inter-religious Dialogue.
Jones held a press conference outside his church on Sept. 9 to announce his change of plans. According to the New York Times, the pastor said that he will fly to New York instead to meet with the imam who plans to build a mosque and Islamic center near Ground Zero.
Jones claimed on Thursday that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf in New York City has "agreed to move the mosque," and that two will be accompanied by Imam Muhammad Musri, the head of the Islamic Society of Central Florida. However, Musri told reporters that no deal had been reached to move the Islamic center and mosque in New York.
The Associated Press (AP) reported that the Pentagon confirmed that Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Jones, urging him not to burn the Quran.
Press secretary for the Pentagon Geoff Morrells told the AP that Gates expressed "his grave concern" that burning of the Quran would endanger the lives of U.S. military, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan.
On Tuesday, the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue also decried the planned burning. The council issued a statement expressing its "great concern" over the plan and stating that "deplorable acts of violence … cannot be counteracted" by burning another religion's sacred book.
Several U.S. bishops also spoke against the burning ceremony. Stating their support for numerous religious leaders who met in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 7 to oppose anti-Muslim sentiment, Archbishop Wilton Gregory, Bishop William Murphy and Bishop Howard Hubbard said they voiced their "solidarity" with the leaders who gathered to "denounce categorically derision, misinformation and outright bigotry being directed against America's Muslim community."
The three prelates are chairmen of USCCB's Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development and Committee on International Justice and Peace, respectively.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Brooklyn Park student told police Thursday that a man tried to kidnap her on her way to school.
Around 7:35 a.m. the Brooklyn Park Junior High School student said a man asked her to talk with him as she was walking to school. Moments later, she said he tried to grab her arm.
She said she was able to break free and get to school to report what happened to a Brooklyn Park Police School Resource Officer.
Officers were able to identify the man involved in the case. They found him in Minneapolis and arrested him for attempted kidnapping.
He is currently in custody at the Brooklyn Park Police Department.
Police said the identity of the suspect is not being released yet due to the ongoing investigation.
This case will go to the Hennepin County Attorney's office on Friday.

Rural Solutions, the nationwide planning, development and construction business have been appointed by The Granary Estates, Suffolk, to renovate their disused farm buildings into a luxury wedding venue, to be known as The Granary Barns.
The Granary Estate, which also includes the renowned Dullingham Polo Club, are in the process of developing a luxury wedding and party venue in Woodditton, only four miles from Newmarket.
Rural Solutions have been put in place to improve the infrastructure and renovate the existing buildings with the construction of a new glazed bridal walkway and sympathetic refurbishment works to the Grand function room, external works and landscaping. This will create a 'perfect' courtyard location for anyone's special day. The project is due for completion February 2013.
Guy Taylor from The Granary Estates said: 'We needed the construction team to hit the ground running but with the ability to handle any heritage issues sensitively. These were just two of the capabilities that Rural Solutions provides and their attitude to the history and potential of the barns, fits well with our ethos. The buildings built of flint and brick, dating back to the 1800's, were in need of some structural as well as aesthetic improvements to conform to our philosophy, that quality is at our core and if we want to provide the very best in our hospitality offer, then our venue requires the highest calibre of expertise to guarantee a prosperous future within a tough market.'
Gail Culshaw, award winning Construction Manager at Rural Solutions added; 'Rural Solutions is a national business that understands and values the intrinsic heritage of buildings and their environment, wherever they may be located in the UK. Our portfolio includes the skills to provide construction on new builds as well as older buildings, but to work on a set of such barns to ensure their livelihood in the future, is a privilege. The Granary Barns epitomises what can be achieved by Rural Solutions - the diversification of buildings with retention of integrity. It's a pleasure for the Rural Solutions team to work on such a project.'
Work on The Granary Barns will be handled by the team at head office in North Yorkshire and the new Hertfordshire office.
Rural Solutions recently announced their expansion into the North West, with the acquisition of Rural Innovations, which adds more specialist rural planning, development and research to the Rural Solutions portfolio within that region. Rural Solutions specialises in providing rural diversification expertise and consultancy across the UK with further business expansion planned for 2013.

Outdoor Revolution Compact Airlite 340 Awning
The Compactalite has been a staple in the Outdoor Revolution line-up for many years and this is the next generation of this highly successful family. It incorporates the Dynamic Speed Valve (DSV) and the revolutionary Intelligent Frame (IF) in its three Oxygen AirFrame Tubes - the bigget air tube on the market. The CompactAirLite 340 is 3.4m wide and 2.8m deep.
The Dynamic Speed Valve (DSV) is taken directly from the Marine Industry used in Lifeboats and Kayaks. It is the quickest, easiest and most reliable valve on the market. Inflation is a speedy process using a double action pump that comes with the awning and deflation is as simple as the push of a button.
The Intelligent Frame is an exciting revolutionary technology it uses a breather valve which prevents over inflation of the Oxygen AirFrame Tubes. When inflating the Oxygen AirFrame Tube the Intelligent Frame will simply release air when it has reached the correct pressure.
The CompactAirLite 340 uses Acrylix 420 Denier Super Double Ripstop fabric; the optimum lightweight for strength ratio material with a hydrostatic head of 6000mm. Double Ripstop is a reinforcement technique that makes the fabric incredibly resistant to accidental rips and tears whilst massively reducing the chance of a tear or rip spreading.
The material used on the roof panels is a light grey colour; this allows light to pass through it making inside the tent light and airy. The material also reflects the suns heat, this allows for a cooler environment within the awning; in conparison to a dark material which would create a stuffy, uncomfortably hot environment.
- Dynamic Speed Valve - An extremely easy to use and reliable valve
- Intelligent Frame - Patented Relief Valve that prevents over inflation
- Acrylix 420Denier Double Rip Stop - The optimum strength to weight ratio of any lightweight awning fabric
- Vortex Vents - Help ease condensation
- Tintz Tinted Windows - Give a contemporary feel, reduce glare and increase privacy
- Stability Air Systems - Give extra strengthand stability
- Sunpro UV - Protects the fabric against UV Rays, giving up to 3 times more longevity
- Endurance Storm Straps - Provides excellent stability

Today was the first time I've driven since I hurt myself on 2/14, and it's only because I have a doctor's appointment right after work and my wife is out of sick time (because of all the doctor visits and sick kids, etc) at work to drive me.
It's a new doctor, so we'll see how things go. I can bear weight on the leg mostly okay, though I'm using a cane right now. The big problem is I can't bend my leg past about 90 degrees, and no amount of stretching and leg exercises I do seems to break past that barrier. :\
Ace will be taking the parts from me when he stays at my place this weekend for Star Wars days to help get it out to you guys quicker. I really am sorry it's taken this long. In retrospect, we probably should have postponed the draft and not had this problem, but I didn't know how slow my recovery would be.

LORAIN — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Avon, is asking the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to commit money to repair the Lorain Harbor after it was ravaged by superstorm Sandy in October.
The Corps of Engineers estimated that the harbor amassed $1.44 million in damages from the storm, which caused
$17.7 million in damages to Great Lakes harbors.
On Thursday, Brown and the Senate sent a letter to Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant secretary of the Army, asking that the Corps of Engineers direct funding from the Hurricane Sandy Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill to repair the damaged harbors.
The funding would come from $50.5 billion in supplemental appropriations to aid victims and strengthen areas affected by the storm. According to a news release from Brown's office, the Senate Committee on Appropriations assured that Great Lakes federal navigation projects would be eligible for some of the funding.
"Lorain Harbor holds both commercial and recreational significance to Northeastern Ohio and must be protected," said a statement from Brown. "I will continue to fight to ensure that Lorain Harbor receives the relief funding it needs to maintain the jobs, income and importance it provides the region."
Rick Novak, executive director of the Lorain Port Authority, said funding would help fix what hasn't been repaired.
Novak said there is a "good size" breach in the breakwall that leads to the lighthouse that could potentially lead to a change in water flow patterns if it is not fixed. There is also damage to an interior berm, he said.
Novak added that there hasn't been a comprehensive look at all the repairs needed yet.
"Once you get in there, there may be more damage than you know," he said.
Novak said the Lorain Harbor is important to the city, both commercially and recreationally.
Terminal Ready-Mix Inc. and Standard LaFarge frequently use the harbor, which Novak said lowers the cost of road projects because the stone and materials come through the area. Novak said the harbor also provides residents with a number of jobs.
Novak recalled the strength of superstorm Sandy, which ripped decorative brick work off the Mile Long Pier.
"I've never seen anything like that in my life," he said. "The strength of the wind and those waves, it's really amazing."
