Can a stock Jeep run Gold Mountain Trail (Big Bear)?
I'd like to take some friends on Gold Mountain trail (Big Bear) that have a variety of Jeeps in stock or near stock form. I've run the trail in my "improved" Jeep, and I saw others there that day struggling with stock, long wheelbase pick-ups. Anyone have experience taking a Jeep w/o traction aided differentials (TAD-e.g. LSD, locker) and 31" or smaller tires on this trail?
I've gotten a post on another forum that a stock Jeep with 31" tires can do it, and another post that it would be possible but very difficult. I'm looking for feedback and experience. Thanks.
It's possible to do open/open with 31 inch tires. Just have to pick the right lines.
Going in on the 3N16 entrance or North side would be the easiest way to do it.
People generally run Gold Mountain south to north. Best to stay with the flow of traffic to avoid logjams. Just like Deep Creek is run west to east and John Bull is run east to west.
I have ran every trail in big bear in a stock xj on 31's except John bull. But I know I coul do that as well
Sent from my iPod touch using JeepForum
I have a stock TJ rolling on 31's, running open/open: It is possible to make it through. I did it this past Saturday. I can tell you that it was a lot easier for the Jeeps in our group that had lockers, but with the right line and a good spotter, it is certainly doable. Good Luck on it. Challenging, and fun.
Hey Bill...nice to see you on here....
Short answer is yes....you'll have to give some spotting in a few places but all in all your go to go..
Hope to get out on the trail with you again soon ...bud

WoW...I just saw that this thread was over 2 yrz old....lol,
He he...yeah!
We were wheelin out at the Hammers a few weeks ago and he didn't mention anything... lol
I wouldn't start from the hardball. I'd go up and around near the Jon bull trail head from the forest road. That way you'd be going down for each if the major obstacles. I'd take the by pass for the rock garden though if he's stock. I imagine 33s with 2" lift would be preferred.
just don't leave all the rocks stacked up please! :D
My daughter (18) ran Gold Mountain on stock suspension and 30" tires (metric equiv). She made it through but crushed her rocker panel, tore her rear exhaust hangar, and front and rear shackles got skinned up. We only stacked rocks once. Her lines were completely different than the modified vehicles (obviously) but she made it. Rock sliders were her next mod. :)
My Ford Ranger made it up Gold Mountain on every run I took it up. Here it is at Dishpan Springs. :hahaha: Notice the TTB suspension flex.

TEAM OF THE DAY: Oregon
The Ducks are playing an outstanding brand of baseball. They made significant statements the last two weekends with series wins over Arizona State and UCLA, Now, they could very well be on their way to a road series win over Stanford. Oregon starting pitcher Alex Keudell struck out seven and allowed just a run on five hits in nine innings, as the Ducks captured a huge 4-2 extra-inning win over the Cardinal. While Keudell put together an outstanding pitching performance, J.J. Altobelli, Brett Thomas and Kyle Garlick each had two hits. Also worth noting, Stanford starting pitcher Mark Appel struck out 13 and allowed just a run on 10 hits in nine innings of work.
PLAYER OF THE DAY: Henry Sisson, lhp, Davidson
The Wildcats certainly haven't had a good season thus far, but the freshman left-handed pitcher gave them something to cheer about Friday in a 1-0 win over Wofford. Sisson tossed a no-hitter in the win over the Terriers. He struck out nine batters and walked just three in the complete game performance. The no-hitter was the first since Davidson's Wes Self tossed one in 2001 against High Point.
UPSET OF THE DAY: Seton Hall over Louisville
The Cardinals hit the road earlier this week and captured a dominant win over in-state rival Kentucky, but took a small step back on Friday with a 3-2 loss to Seton Hall. SHU starting pitcher Jon Prosinski did a tremendous job of keeping the Cardinals in check, allowing just two runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings of work. Meanwhile, Louisville starting pitcher Justin Amlung struck out four and allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings of work. UL reliever Dace Kime tossed three scoreless innings, but the Cardinals simply were unable to get much going offensively, finishing the contest with nine runners left on base.

Propertiesdoc - Liferay's Properties Files in HTML
General Blogs September 23, 2013 By James Hinkey Staff
Have you wanted to find a listing of the properties available to you via Liferay Portal's properties files? Have you wanted to view the property definitions in a nicer format, instead of as plain text ? Good news! Liferay Portal's property file properties are now available online and offline in HTML for easy lookup.
We now provide Propertiesdoc--marked up versions of our properties files--along with our normal set of Javadocs, Taglibs, and definitions (DTDs) that you've come to know and love.
For your online reading pleasure, you'll find a propertiesdoc directory for the 6.1 and 6.2 (beta) version of Liferay Portal CE on http://docs.liferay.com. It has links to the portal.properties and system.properties files containing Portal's default properties, and it has links to the liferay-plugin-package-<version>.properties file(s) giving you definitions for the properties you can use in your plugins.
For your offline reading pleasure, you'll find the equivalent propertiesdoc directory and files in the liferay-portal-doc-<version>.zip file you download for Liferal Portal EE or CE.
Let's take the nickel tour of Portal's Propertiesdocs. For example, let's find out what Liferay Portal 6.2 (beta) uses for ORM persistence defaults and what options we can specify.
Start by opening your browser to the http://docs.liferay.com/portal/6.2/propertiesdoc directory or propertiesdoc folder of the liferay-portal-doc-<version>.zip file you extracted. The propertiesdoc folder lists the following Liferay Portal properties files as shown in the figure below:
Click on the portal.properties link to see it's Table of Contents. You'll find there's a Persistence section listed as shown circled in the picture below.
Click on the Persistence section link so we can look at the persistence properties. In this section to find the persistence.provider property listed. It has a description that mentions the options you can specify for your portal's persistence provider. Below the description, notice the property's default value highlighted in gray. And an example value for the property is highlighted in light green. See the picture below.
When you're done looking at this property and want to look up some more Portal props, simply click the Top of Page link and you're brought back to the Table of Contents.
We hope providing you with this Propertiesdocs help you learn about and use Liferay Portal's properties more easily.
Special thanks to Jesse Rao who developed the converter, Hugo Huijser and Brian Chan for their reviews and assistance, and Chas Austin for making sure the propertiesdoc is built with our releases.

Dear All,
I am 32 & my story is just another broken heart story.
I work abroad and 3 years ago Ive met "divorced" 44 y.o. man who was also working here from a different country. 1st I wasn't attracted to him, but he was so amazing to win my heart. So we started to live together. But woman's heart always alerts. I found out he was still married. He admitted, was sorry, said he didnt plan anything serious with me at the beginning but in time he felt in love and was scared to loose me by telling the truth. BS! By the end of his contract he left the country and broke up with me, however he was still calling me every week to check on me. In 2 month he got another contract in the country which is 1 hour flight to me. He said he wants me back & that his wife and him did not decide to divorce or not, that things are not going well. It was very unclear. So I spoke to his wife, she said he confessed to her about me but he didnt want a divorce. Her and I went for hours for civil conversations, she said she loves him but so tired of his lies, she gave him last chance but now there is no room for trust anymore. She divorced him. But they r still good friends. He visited me on his birthday for 3 days. 2 weeks later he asked me to choose an engagement ring. He designated the date to come for engagement, but than he canceled it. He said he is not sure about his decision yet. Asked for a month to think. It got into 3 months. We were still talking everyday but i felt again something is wrong. He "books" the tickets to visit me, than again he cancel it in the last day. We were in touch, he would say he loves me, he wants me and all but would never visit me. So I asked to stop this all and to break up. Than he said that he was dating for 6 months 1 lady and now he broke up with her. That he still loves me, and that woman was just for sex and she seemed cared for him. I got hurt again, he said he will be with me in 2 weeks married if I give him a chance. But I couldnt trust anymore and asked him if he wants to marry than come and marry but dont promise and dont call me anymore. 2 days later (it was 2 weeks ago) we were on SKYPE and I got angry calling him a liar and that I hate him, that he was unfair towards me to put me on hold and have another woman. He said he cant deal with me and that I always ruin things. So now we dont talk. And Im hurt.
I got tired of being hurt waiting in a distance, so I decided to go into new relations and I was there for 9 months but I still kept talking to the one i love. My new boyfriend is the best person Ive ever met, and he loves me so much but because of the one I love I broke his heart.
All in all, I still love my man, I realize he is a liar and he lied so many time to me, to his X wife and bunch of other women i guess. But it has been 3 years I cant forget him, and I am willing to get back as I know if we are together I would make him happy. Sometimes I think i will move on, but I've tried twice and I cant. I love him, but I also hate him as because of him I block my chance to meet another man. I just dont understand him at all. WHY so many lies? He should of just let me go! But he always kept me by his side...I am 32, I want a family, I want kids, I want a complete life, I want to be happy.
Right now I feel like calling him. Please advice.

Why make life so difficult. This guy is wrong on almost every level. If you marry him he will only bring heartache. Meeting and marrying someone should not be painful. Do you want to be 40 with 2 kids and he is running around with other women? Dump him and move on.

While the Season's classic red and green olio has long been the popular choice for interior holiday decorating, the trend toward creating one's own signature Christmas décor has some celebrants embracing the most unexpected yet exciting color medleys. From modern fusions that span the color spectrum to brilliant unmingled monochromatics, we're loving the infinite possibilities and we think you will too.
HGTV shared the latest trend in Christmas trees, asking are they "glorious or gaudy"? What do you think?
This purple and bronze tree by Brian Patrick Flynn amps up the razzle dazzle factor
in Christmas color alternatives.
(source) Regina Gust Designs; Photo by Julie Soefer
Don't worry if you can't pick a single color or combination, take a page out of
Regina Gust's Christmas story and let your imagination run wild.
We adore the way many modern spaces provide the perfect canvas for experimenting with glorious holiday color combinations. The pink tree trend debuted a few years back but we're still finding it popping up.
Metallics are a mainstay in holiday decorating, however, this common element gets an uncommon twist with sophisticated color like this pale buttery yellow and navy blue.
A traditional home gets a color infusion with a dynamic color duo of orange and blue. The potted Christmas tree is evidence of the trend towards using living trees in lieu of the traditional cut tree.
Turquoise turns this traditional living room into a hip and trendy testament to the joy of using
outside the box Christmas colors.
Who says you have to have a real tree? This modern interpretation of the traditional Christmas tree and the accompanying room prove anything goes when it comes to holiday décor this season.

|Vol. VI, No. 4, Spring 1993
by Donald R. Holliday
"A good dairy goat," Hazel McTeer says, "will produce eight pounds of milk a day. Some of these will milk fourteen." Looking at some of her goats straddling their udders as they walk, I believe it. To people familiar with Holsteins and their hundred or hundred and twenty-five pounds of milk per day, eight or fourteen pounds of milk may not sound like much. To those fourteen-pound-per-day goats, I assure you, fourteen pounds is a great deal.
Compared to bovine milking, everything about goat dairies is miniature. Holsteins may weigh 1200 pounds, goats a hundred. Holstein dairy barns and holding pens cover acres, goat facilities maybe a quarter acre. Holstein waste lagoons could serve a city. Goat pills disappear in the grass. If a Holstein steps on your foot, or kicks you, you may go to the hospital. About the worst a goat can do is mesmerize you with its stare.
When I visited her, Hazel McTeer was milking forty-seven head of goats, with help from her cousin and brother. Her brother feeds and handles the goats outside the dairy. Her cousin turns the goats into the dairy parlor and assists there. Hazel personally oversees everything from feeding to applying the suction cups to the goats' teats. She sees everything. A champion of the healthy qualities of goat milk and the good character of dairy goats, Hazel is past president of the Missouri Goat Breeders' Association.
Hazel's goats are of both nubian (African) and alpine (European) breeds. Both breeds are vari-colored, though the nubians tend generally to be darker, and both step as daintily as their wild mountain cousins. They enter the milking parlor through a small door add jump onto a milk station elevated high enough the milker does not have to stoop. They take a bite of feed from a box mounted to the wall and look around at every detail, every movement while they munch their food as daintily as they walk. Socrates never had a more thoughtful look than these goats.
One other great difference between goats and cows is worth mentioning: goats can survive almost anywhere, with little care. They eat almost anything. No, they do not eat tin cans, but they do eat thistles, old leather shoes, oak trees, barn doors ....
Just as it does to bovine dairies, a milk truck comes to Hazel's barn door. In the past, her goat milk has been hauled to Stockton Cheese, a plant in Stockton, Missouri which makes both goat cheese and bovine cheese. Presently, Hazel's milk is transported to the Jackson-Mitchell goat milk condensing plant in Yellville, Arkansas.
Stockton Cheese is operated by Ezell and Alberta Goodwin on the site of what was a cow-cheese factory in the days when most sizeable Ozark towns had a cheese factory. The Goodwins process to finished packages both bovine and goat cheese. The bovine cheese is marketed primarily in their store in Stockton.
In their third year of making goat cheese, during the summer the Goodwins process three to four tons of goat milk each week. They run their own milk tank truck on a route through west-central Missouri. Their goat cheese is marketed in their own store, stores through the Ozarks, and beyond. Health-food stores are a primary outlet for goat cheese.
The Jackson-Mitchell goat milk condensing plant in Yellville, Arkansas is managed by Micki Biermann, a petite woman whose managerial qualifications are capped by her ability to perform every job in the plant--boiler, capper, weigh-in, milk testing, cartoner, can-conveyor maintenance ....She not only can do these tasks, she often does.
Jackson-Mitchell, processing for the Meyenberg brand of goat milk products, operates the only two plants in the world condensing goat milk, one in Turlock, California, the other in Yellville. The Yellville plant, also an old cow-cheese factory in the days of C-grade milk, began processing goat milk in 1976. Since then, its production has increased annually in 1992, 10,000 cases more than in 1991.
At the Yellville plant, goat milk is condensed, which means it is heated to evaporate part of the water content, and canned. The canned, evaporated milk is then heated in boilers to near 250F degrees for fifteen minutes to ensure full sterilization. After cooling, the cans are labeled, cased, plastic wrapped, and palleted for shipment throughout the United States and far eastern markets.
Long recognized as more easily digested than cow's milk, prescribed especially for babies who could not drink cow's milk or mother's milk, goat milk and other goat-milk products have benefited from the growth in health consciousness in the United States. The by-word of the goat-milk industry, from Hazel McTeer to Jackson-Mitchell' s Micki Biermann, is that "Goat Milk is Good for You."

Most low-income mothers seeking treatment for addiction, mental illness and domestic abuse face a heartbreaking choice: Give up their children to a guardian or foster care and get help, or stay with their families and continue to suffer. Yet studies show that mothers who receive family-centered treatment have increased rates of post-treatment sobriety. For more than 25 years, Prototypes has pioneered the way we treat addiction by allowing mothers to stay with their children through recovery. Today, Prototypes operates from 13 sites throughout Southern California, annually providing 12,000 women, children and communities with life-saving counseling, treatment and critical life skills. Together, we're transforming communities, one family at a time.

Collecting baseball cards and other sports cards is a fun way for the whole family to build lasting memories. Kids, parents and grandparents can all have fun together colleting sports cards.
Baseball Cards and Sports Cards collecting tips: The key factor to remember when building your baseball cards, football cards, other sports cards and non-spots card collections is that the condition of the baseball cards, football cards, or other cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same sports card in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old sports cards or new sports cards when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many fans. Some buy only brand new sports cards while other buy only old vintage baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card.

An alleged propaganda video out of North Korea depicts America as a dangerous dystopia where citizens buy guns to "kill each other," the streets are piled high with body bags and people are forced to eat birds to survive.
"This is Americans live today," a narrator says in the video, according to an English translation. "Drinking coffee made from snow, and living in tents and buying guns to kill each other — especially children."
The narrator follows up with the fact that "some people complain about the guns" that are killing everyone in the streets.
Attention is then focused on the apparent lack of birds in the trees, which the narrator notes is due to the fact that Americans living in tents have killed and eaten them in order to survive. And of course people are addicted to heroin and drink coffee made of snow in this made-up version of America.
Though American houses "blow down very easily," the American Red Cross offers materials graciously provided by North Korea to help Americans struggling through unthinkable poverty, the narrator claims.
The narrator also notices how Americans have sneakily "disguised" certain parts of the county to look like foreign countries Europe.
Additionally, a "former Republican candidate from Oregon" makes a cameo to display just how far the nation had fallen. He is forced to get coffee made of snow from trucks.
"They are very grateful to their government for these handouts," the narrator adds.
The video's authenticity has not been confirmed at this point and some are calling the video a hoax. It's also not clear whether the video, posted on Chinese website Ifeng, actually originated out of North Korea. Either way, it's a pretty entertaining video.
UPDATE: Confirming the suspicions of many, the Huffington Post reports the video above is indeed a hoax.
The man behind the farce? British travel writer Alun Hill, who doesn't speak a word of Korean.
Hill told The Huffington Post over the phone Wednesday that he received the original video from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency, which said it depicts the failure of European democracy.

Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan has no doubt Kathryn Smith will prove to be a solid NFL assistant coach.
Otherwise, Ryan said he wouldn't have hired the 30-year-old woman to be the club's special teams quality control coach, making her the first full-time female assistant coach in NFL history.
Smith's hiring was announced Wednesday and was the main topic of interest when Ryan met with reporters on Friday.
"I hired Kathryn because I believe she is going to do a tremendous job," Ryan said. "I have been around her for seven years professionally, actually met her at an Eric Mangini camp many years before that.
"But I have known her professionally for seven years and the reason that I think she is going to do a tremendous job here, it starts with everything else just like any profession, you have got to have a work ethic, you got to have a passion for it, and I just like the way she is.
"She is really all about the team, how she can help and all that, regardless of the job we have asked her to do. She has done a tremendous job in that and exceed what we thought she would do."
Smith was an administrative assistant to Ryan prior to her promotion. She previously worked with Ryan when he was coach of the New York Jets and she followed him to Buffalo when he was hired by the Bills.
"I was surprised at first, but I also know Rex really puts a lot of faith in his staff and his people," Smith said earlier this week. "So from that standpoint it made sense knowing I've worked with Rex directly and indirectly for a number of years.
"So he knows my work ethic and what I've done in the past, but it was a bit surprising that he came to me with this."
Now the opportunity is there for Smith to make a mark.
"This is just another opportunity for her to move forward, you know is it an entry level position in the coaching field, it is," Ryan said. "A lot of people break in as quality control coaches, but don't think it is not an important position, because it really is. A very important position, but I feel great about it.
"I truly believe she is going to do a tremendous job this way. She does not have field experience per say, I get that there is no question about it, but I know she is going to excel in the other areas of being a quality control coach and I think she is going to be successful on the field as well."
Smith wasn't the only recent addition to the Bills' staff. Ryan also hired former Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed as assistant defensive backs coach and his brother, Rob, as assistant head coach/defense.
Ryan saw Reed's work ethic first-hand when he was running the Ravens' defense.
"Ed Reed is a young man who is going to be a first team Hall of Fame guy, I don't there is any doubt about that," Ryan said, "but what maybe we don't know is was the most instinctive player maybe that we have seen playing that safety position.
"Part of his things about being instinctive, and all that is true, is his preparation. I saw it in Baltimore for all those years I had Ed. He was really, you talk about a leader, he was such a leader. It was phenomenal."
Rob Ryan was fired as New Orleans Saints' defensive coordinator in the middle of last season and Rex Ryan is excited about getting an opportunity to work with his brother.
"He is as much of a grinder as you will see," Rex Ryan said. "He loves the idea, preparation, he knows the value of preparation, and bringing that to this football team, and his expertise that is something I am really excited about.
"Obviously you know from a personal standpoint it is my twin brother and things, and I love having him in the building with the other guys."
Rex Ryan said Dennis Thurman will remain as defensive coordinator despite the presence of his brother, and the head coach added he will continue to call defensive plays.

Serena Williams: my mum is stronger than I am
Tennis champion and Berlei ambassador Serena Williams, 31, talks high heels and building a strong, powerful body
Your body is a powerhouse of strength. Do you spend hours lifting weights in the gym?
I don't think I've touched a weight in my life. I was at the gym the other day with my mum and I couldn't lift the weights she lifted. My mum is stronger than I am.
What exercise do you do besides tennis?
Most of my workout involves work with resistance bands, because that's specific to tennis and it's a fun way to work out. Plus, I don't want to build up any more muscle.
There's a lot of public focus on your physique. Does that unnerve you at all?
Parts of my body sure do get attention. I'm a normal woman – I can get quite self-conscious. But this is my body and I've got to be proud of it. It's not like I'm quiet or dress in dull clothes – I have to expect some attention. I am the average, curvy woman. I've got a butt, I've got thighs, I've got boobs – but I'm also an athlete. I'm working out more than the average woman so I should expect to have an athletic body.
Are you on a special diet?
I don't do the "D" word ever! A lot of people get caught up in crazy eating. My goal is to have a healthy lifestyle so I can live a long life. I don't eat a lot of meat. I eat a lot of natural food – a lot of green stuff like spinach and cucumber. And I drink lots of water. I'm working hard at being a tennis player – I don't want to work hard by being on a crazy diet.
Everyone is always keen to see what your tennis outfit will be. How important is fashion for you?
I love planning what I'm going to wear – both on and off the court. Most people don't get to see me any other time, so I want to look good when I'm playing. If I look good I feel good. And I play better when I feel good.
You're also designing some underwear for Berlei. How are you enjoying that?
As a big-busted athlete, I know how important a good bra is. But you want them to be feminine as well as do their job. I feel so lucky to be working with Berlei.
On court, you're always well accessorised.
Accessories make or break an outfit. I always wear earrings and at the Australian Open this year I loved my headband and crazy shoes.
Talking shoes, apparently you're a high-heel enthusiast?
You won't catch me in trainers or flats unless I'm on the court or in the gym. I wear heels to training and at home. I love wedges, platforms – anything with a heel.
Do you follow a beauty routine?
I never leave the house without wearing a moisturiser with a sunscreen in it.

Since World War II, University of Michigan economists have produced the definitive research on consumer sentiment. Their twice-monthly surveys of household spending are used by everyone from policy makers at the Federal Reserve to Wall Street traders.
But thanks to an arbitrary threat of prosecution by the attorney general of New York, Eric Schneiderman, this high-quality research is no longer going to be available to anyone, any...

NC State became the second school to extend an offer to Evan Mulrooney on Wednesday night, and the Delaware lineman just returned home from two visits.
The 6-foot-4, 282-pound offensive tackle from Wilmington (N.C.) Salesianum School had already received an offer from Maryland, but the NC State offer had him excited as well.
Mulrooney was at Cincinnati on Wednesday when he received news of the Wolfpack's offer.
Article Continues Below
What did he think of what the Bearcats had to offer?
"It went really well minus the eight and a half hour drive," Mulrooney said. "It was pretty nice. I got a tour of the facilities. They didn't practice because it was raining but from what I saw I really liked it. I got to sit in offensive line meetings and I got to see what coach (Don) Mahoney is like. He's a really great guy and a good coach. It really seems like he cares about his linemen as people and not just as players. That's pretty important to me.
"The players were really nice. A couple of offensive linemen came up and introduced themselves. I'd like to find a real friendly environment so that was good.
"The facilities were amazing. They said they have the largest weight room in the country and that thing was state of the art."
Just a couple of days before that Mulrooney was at Penn State. He grew up following the Nittany Lions so it was a special opportunity.
"I went to Penn State on Monday," he recalled. "That one was really cool, too. I always grew up a Penn State fan so it was good to go up there and see what it was like. It was really awesome.
"I got to meet Joe Pa, which was crazy. The guy is a legend and you get star struck talking to him. I was like, 'Oh my God, it's Joe Paterno. There were a couple of other Delaware guys up there. I got to sit in the offensive guards and offensive centers meeting room and that was really awesome. Coach Anderson is a really great coach. He's been around the game a while and he's been a head coach at a couple of places.
"Coach Vanderlinden showed me around campus. It's a big city feel but a small town. It's just a really cool campus. You would expect it to be really huge but it's not. Everything's close together."
Mulrooney said he would try to visit NC State sometime soon.

4. Our recommitment to you, Rosedale, and the future.
Losing a building is a significant event. But we have been preparing for this day for some time as events have unfolding around us. We have been in serious prayer about what God wants from us as a congregation. Over time our prayers became focused on two questions: where were we to move once we lost the building and how were we to be church in the future? It was amazing to watch God's answers unfold.
First, God made clear to us that we were to stay in Rosedale. We didnt know how this would happen since we would soon be losing our building, but we committed ourselves to this, trusting in God to somehow provide. And He did, by opening the door for us to relocate to Rosedale United Methodist Church. We give thanks to God for His provision, and to RUMC for welcoming us to use their building.
Second, God made clear that not only were we to stay in Rosedale, but we were to commit ourselves to serving Rosedale. In the past we have been content to simply share an address with our neighbors. We've always welcomed people in our neighborhood to join with us, but we've never really thought of serving. That is about to change - we have come to understand that we exist primarily to serve Rosedale.
As we approached our move we began to understand that this is
not simply about leaving a building or even standing for Christ. This is about allowing God to make a new church centered on the Historic Christian Faith that would also be relevant for our changing culture. It turns out, we have real work to do, for God and our neighborhood.

Isle of Man childcare cuts prompt Tynwald protest
Cuts in childcare provision in the Isle of Man have prompted parents to protest outside Tynwald on budget day.
Plans have been unveiled to close one island primary school and withdraw funding for 11 pre-school facilities.
Parents have handed in a 3,600-signiture petition against the changes, which will bring about 30 job cuts within the education department.
Education minister Peter Karran said the cuts were being made to protect statutory services.
Mother of twins, Julia Charles, said: "Education is a human right, this is not the third world, this is the Isle of Man, the government says the money has gone, but where has it gone?
"I think the government should put the mums and dads in charge of the Isle of Man's budget because we are used to making our own budget stretch every week- so we'll make it work."
Political 'ambush'
Mr Karran said: "No-one is under any illusions over the fiscal difficulties the island faces. Nevertheless, it is with great regret that we find ourselves having to make these savings as we appreciate the impact they will have on the community and we know there will be concern over the loss of these services.
"In some areas, posts will be lost, but we will do all we can to redeploy colleagues in redundant posts, with actual redundancies being very much a last resort."
Protesting mother Hannah Callister said: "I feel like we have been ambushed from behind with this decision, I am sure that every parent here would fundraise or offer to contribute to try and keep these centres open but the government isn't giving us a chance.
"These are the children who are going to be sorting out the mess we have made of the economy- it's just not fair to deny them their education."
The Isle of Man government is asking members of the public to give online feedback about the future of both child and residential care provision.

Mead made speedily
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
Imagine a wildfire driven by winds gusting at 80 miles per hour is racing toward your house east of Alpine. In the predawn darkness, you can see the red-orange glow of the inferno over a small rise to the east. Telephone poles in that direction have already burned, leaving you without power or phone. Not knowing whether to stay put or evacuate, you call 911 on your cell phone and get the Highway Patrol, who patch you through to your local fire district. The fire dispatcher asks your address. You tell her 5201 Alpine Boulevard. But your house isn't actually on Alpine Boulevard. It sits three quarters of a mile south of the boulevard, on a dirt road that locals -- and some maps -- call Montecito Road.
You think the local firefighters know where your house is, so you don't worry. But the local firefighters were dispatched an hour ago to defend houses in areas that are already burning. The unit that gets dispatched to defend your house is one from the South Bay. They're used to operating in the urban grid of Chula Vista, not in the rural area east of Alpine. They don't have the local "run maps" that the surrounding fire districts' firemen carry. They drive east on Alpine Boulevard, trying to see numbers painted on mailboxes in the smoky darkness. When they finally do find your mailbox -- among a group of 10 or 12, all with numbers starting with 54 -- they drive up the dirt road next to them, trying to figure out which of the tributary dirt roads leads to your house. They look for address markers, but there are none. Because you're 5401, they figure your house must be the house closest to Alpine Boulevard. They're wrong. Betty Odiorne, the woman who actually lives at that address, explains why.
"I'm 5401 because I was the first one they gave a street address to, because my house was the first one built. Between me and Alpine Boulevard is 5427 and 5429 and all that, because those guys were built after me. It doesn't go [sequentially] because we all built at different times."
In fairness to Odiorne, this situation hasn't happened to her in the 19 years she's lived in her home. During the Viejas fire, which burned from January 3 through January 9, 2001, she was evacuated from her home the first day. Still, Tom Ace, chief of the Alpine Fire Protection District, says the haphazard addressing of homes and nomarking of privately maintained roads complicated the effort to protect homes and evacuate residents and livestock from the blaze.
Turning his car left out of the driveway of Alpine's tiny one-truck fire station onto eastbound Alpine Boulevard, Ace explains, "It's not just a problem in Alpine, it's a problem in all the rural fire districts. Pretty much every place outside of the city, in the unincorporated areas of San Diego County, you encounter the same types of problems: privately maintained roads that don't have county address signs. And there are a number of them. And, even though our firefighters are usually familiar with those, you have to remember that we had 2000 firefighters here from as far away as Sacramento, Palm Springs, Phoenix, Arizona. And they do not typically have our run-map books, where we delineate and define where some of those private roads are. So, for them, they're out there being dispatched either for fire protection or structure protection. So they're trying to find a street, and a lot of times there's not that nice green- and-white county-maintained road sign. There's only a wooden sign or a piece of cardboard nailed to a telephone pole delineating the name of that street. And sometimes there's not even that."
The run maps Ace speaks of are maps carried by firefighters that contain detailed information on their primary protection areas. "It's information that we gather, and the information is then submitted to a company -- in this case Digital Graphics -- and they produce the maps. Then we update them. All the street names, all the information on the maps, was gathered by hand by a fireman at some point. Every single address was verified."
Though the run maps aren't to exact scale, they contain, Ace says, a lot more information than Thomas Brothers map books -- which are carried on fire trucks as backup. "It gives us hydrant locations," he says, pointing to a run map sitting next to him. "Each of these buttons here indicates a fire hydrant. It gives us parcel lines, so we know the size of the property. It shows driveways that we can drive the truck on. And it also gives us the address number. In the Thomas Brothers, you only get a block range, like 1000-1200 block; it doesn't give you how many houses are on it and what the property is like."
Only what are called the "Heartland" fire agencies of San Diego County have run books for the areas the Viejas fire burned. "Heartland agencies are the agencies in San Diego County's zone four, which is in the East County. It's composed of Lakeside, Santee, El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, Alpine, and East County Fire Protection Districts. They all have the run maps. Once you get out of our zone, they don't have the maps."
During the Viejas fire, Heartland resources were used up in the first hour. "All of the Heartland fire agencies, the eight departments I talked about, on any given day they have 25 engines in service. On the first hour of the fire, we put 27 engines out, two more than our normal number in service. We had every engine in Heartland, plus two in the first hour. The other two were reserve engines. We manned them and got them out on the fire."
Ace navigates the Ford Crown Victoria through the town of Alpine and into the more rural areas of Alpine Boulevard, between the West Willows and East Willows off-ramps. The boulevard acts as frontage road on the south side of Interstate 8, across which lies Viejas Indian Reservation. "That's a good sign there," Ace points to a wooden sign marking Deer Springs Road. It's eight inches wide and two feet long, suspended from a piece of curved iron. "But look at this next one." It's a piece of plywood, two by two feet, with "5353" spray painted on it. "Five thousand three hundred and fifty-three, but what street is it?"

And my other problem now -- chickweed. We had so much storm damage and downed tree limbs that our spring lawn and garden clean-up was delayed until we could clear the big stuff out.
So as my kids were running around outside, their footsteps were sending up sprays of something. Upon closer look, I saw that the sprays were actually seeds. Chickweed seeds. Flying all around, here and there, everywhere. all over the place!
Oh boy.
Chickweed everywhere gone to seed!
And my other problem now -- chickweed. We had so much storm damage and downed tree limbs that our spring lawn and garden clean-up was delayed until we could clear the big stuff out.
Are you sure its chickweed? If the seeds pop and fly around when disturbed it sounds more like hairy bittercress http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/2839/ . A picture would be helpful.
Oh my gosh, you're right! That's exactly what it looks like. Not sure why I thought it was chickweed. But absolutely bittercress is the correct one based on pictures and description. Thank you for identifying it (even sans picture... I'll try to get one tomorrow).
Anything I can do to stop this? It's quite prominent throughout my lawn. I'm guessing it's too late, and heaven help me the thought of those seeds spreading everywhere makes me reel.
We had a nasty infestation in many areas of our yard. This spring we started making daily rounds pulling them before they set seed. More seemed to grow up litterly overnight. We kept doing it and now have very few, but we know they will keep germinating , so we patrol every morning. If you can get the ones that are growing and then put down a germination suppressant like corn gluten or Preen (which we haven't resorted to) you can, in time, really make their presence minimal.

My 7 year old son (never stop going) Emmanuel made two pictures. He then asked me to make them into quilts. The house was made the exact same size using a copy of his picture as templates. The second one I just used as inspiration and guide. He "allowed" me to change the leaves because he wanted a tulip but drew the leaves of a rose and also he let me add some trapunto around the frame.

Mauricio Pochettino insists the pressure of leading Tottenham's title charge is nothing compared to when he was first appointed coach.
Spurs take on bottom-of-the-table Aston Villa on Sunday, desperate to get back to winning ways after managing just a point from two London derbies against West Ham and Arsenal last week before being thrashed by Borussia Dortmund on Thursday in the Europa League.
It means Pochettino's men are without a victory in three matches and they can ill-afford to let that run continue, with league leaders Leicester already five points clear at the top of the table.
The Tottenham boss, however, believes the team's recent dip pales in comparison to when he first took over in 2014, as Spurs dropped to 14th after losing five of their opening 12 matches.
"Is the Aston Villa game now crucial? Crucial was last season when we were 14th in November," Pochettino said.
"We have been in a good run. There is no doubt about the team. Sometimes you expect you cannot perform always the same. Football is difficult.
"I am happy with the team and now we need to lift the players because it was a big hit for us (against Dortmund).
"We need to finish strongly. If not maybe we have a problem but always you try to fight. The whole season has been good."

DETROIT – For nearly a century, Detroit has been known as the Motor City. These days, however, the engine has stalled as many of the city's buses are idled by numerous mechanical and financial issues.
Making matters worse is that the city is paying its drivers to essentially do nothing all day while hundreds of buses await repairs. As many as 100 bus drivers for the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) are, in fact, being paid an average of $12 an hour to sit in their stations and relax, while thousands of city residents must impatiently wait hours for a ride.
"Lately, you will have to wait an hour, hour-and-a-half, or two hours just to get someplace three miles away," said Cassandra Garvey, 29, a single mother from Detroit who uses the DDOT as one of her main modes of transportation. "I don't feel that it's the bus drivers being lazy, so much, as they don't have enough buses to complete their routes."
Detroit, which is 143 total square miles wide, has 305 total DDOT buses, with the city estimating that between 200 and 225 of them are in good enough working order to get out on the road. This has led to extremely long wait times for Detroiters who are trying to get to work, school, the grocery store, or in Cassandra's case, taking her two children to doctor's appointments.
"I don't know too much about the east side bus lines, but Greenfield (which stretches across Detroit's west side) runs the best," said Garvey, who has recently seen 40 idled buses in a nearby repair yard. "If you wait for a Southfield bus, you might as well get a book and a meal because you're going to be there for a while."
Since the middle of the summer, Detroiters have had to, at times, wait up to three hours for a working bus. The busing problems have forced Mayor Dave Bing and the Detroit City Council to declare a transportation emergency.
As 100 drivers spend their days doing everything but driving because of the shortage, the bus crisis has added to the laundry list of financial problems in Detroit. Thanks to a union contract, the city has paid $2.1 million in overtime pay to bus drivers — who make about $37,000 a year with a third of that coming from OT pay — since June. "The union contract mandates that the city pay the drivers for the work they are signed up for, regardless of whether or not a coach is available," said Dan Lijana, the administration's spokesman. "The goal is to have the necessary number of coaches running and the appropriate number of drivers to provide the service."
Unlike cities such as Chicago, Atlanta, and New York, Detroit does not have a true and viable mass transit system. DDOT services the city of Detroit proper, while the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) handles service to nearby Oakland County.
"We have the worst mass transit system that I've ever experienced," said Garvey, who often has to take multiple buses to get to work. "I have been to Atlanta and their MARTA system is awesome. I've experienced Chicago's mass transit system and it's awesome. I've been to Los Angeles and New York, and the only thing you have to worry about are the passengers, not how long you have to wait because the bus comes or the train comes on time. Here, we have very sad, very sorry attempt at mass transit"
The People Mover, which opened in 1987, is a monorail that runs in a 2.9-mile circle in downtown Detroit – "It's like a kid's racecar track," Garvey said — and does not go out into the city. In recent years, the People Mover has fallen into disrepair and could be closed due to budget issues.
"Our screwed up bus system includes DDOT and SMART," she said. "Most places you go where they have smaller suburban areas that surround a larger city, they all have the same bus system and the same bus company. We have two that run like crap. If you can't catch the DOT, there's no way you're catching the SMART bus. You're better off riding a bike or leaving four hours early and walking where you've got to go."
Taxi services in and around Detroit are largely unreliable. The proposed Woodward Avenue Light Rail Project – set to begin construction in 2013 — will run only along Woodward Avenue from downtown Detroit up to 8 Mile Road, which is of little solace to the thousands who are spread out around the city.
"Catching the bus lately isn't about being on time anymore, it's about luck," said Kyle Skelton, a senior at Wayne State University, who uses the DDOT as his main form of transportation. "The buses always ran well up until 2007 when they started with the heavy cuts. Wait times for the slower buses were 35 to 40 minutes, which was respectable.
"After the Holbrook, Grand Belt, and all the express routes were cut it was pretty much a wrap because if the wait times are an hour apart and an alternative route is a half to a mile away people by instinct are going to over crowd the bigger routes which is leading to even longer wait times."
For a variety of reason, ranging from cost of buying or leasing to inability to pay for repairs, city residents do not have cars. This makes the buses running at peak performance vital to survival in the city.
Often people, such as Garvey and Skelton, have to take multiple buses to get where they need to go and, in many cases, people have to hop off of one bus in Detroit and onto another one in a nearby suburb.
"In Detroit, as a single mother, it is almost a necessity to have a car," Garvey said. "If you don't have a car, you're screwed. You're stuck relying on this screwed up system. Because we have these people who think that DOT is the last thing we should sink money into, we're stuck."
The mayor has blamed the delays on union mechanics, and claims that they are slowing down the repairs intentionally to protest job cuts. Union leaders, on the other hand, say Bing is using the mechanics as a scapegoat and refuses to take responsibility for leaving DDOT with an insufficient number of mechanics.
"You can't be as productive when your staff is cut like that," said Leamon Wilson, president of the mechanics' American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees Local 312. "We're hoping the mayor is going to come around, because he said he's going to do whatever it takes to get the buses repaired."
Union officials said, the number of mechanics dropped from 210 to 148 because of layoffs and retirements. This doesn't ease the pain of Detroiters in need of a way to work.
"I hear people talk all the time, friends of mine, who have to leave two, three, and four hours before they have to be at a doctor's appointment or before they have to be at work," Garvey said. "They can't catch the bus after 7 p.m. because it's not safe and they're not sure if it's going to come at all."
The citizens are not the only people who are frustrated with the bus problem. Henry Gaffney, the president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 26, is just as frustrated.
"We want to be on our routes," said Gaffney, whose union represents about 650 DDOT drivers. "We don't want people waiting. But there's nothing we can do."
Gaffney said that drivers have been taking the lion's share of the criticism because riders don't know who to blame and they are the easiest target. They are also starting to fear more for their safety – which has been a chief concern on city buses for years – as backlash from the lack of transportation.
"We are getting a lot of verbal abuse," Gaffney told the_ Detroit Free Press_. "We've been asking (the city) for security, but they won't give it to us."
Further complicating matters is the continued infighting between the mayor and the city council. The Council is blaming DDOT and Bing's administration for the crisis and is demanding more action.
"It's not acceptable," Councilwoman Brenda Jones said last week. "We need to do whatever it takes to get these buses working."
Last week, the council passed a resolution encouraging Bing to consider emergency contracts for more mechanics. Bing has said that layoffs drivers are not going to happen because the city plans is to solve the transportation crisis soon.
The problem is that it has gone on too long already. Every day that passes gets closer to the cold mornings and evenings of late fall in Detroit.
The weather conditions will add an additional dynamic to the problem starting later this week as rain is forecast for Wednesday and nighttime temperatures will drop into the mid-30s starting Wednesday night.
"It's like licking an ice sculpture in a snowstorm," Garvey said of the difficulties of waiting in cold weather. "No one has three hours to be waiting around when you have to be at work at 8 a.m. and your bus is supposed to come at 6:45 and it doesn't come until 7:15.
You've now missed your next bus and have to wait until 7:45 and you don't get to work until 8:15. It has really become a serious pain in the ass to deal with. It's an inconvenient convenience."

Inductors target current sensing
Post a comment
Carlsbad, Calif. Vitec Electronics Corp. said its new 59P987X series of inductors is an industry first for direct current resistance (DCR) sensing. The new inductors offer a guaranteed tolerance of ±10% for DCR, which is a feature required for accurate current sensing across the inductor to set precision droop, channel-current balancing and over-current protection.
The small package size of 7 x 10.8 x 7.5-mm is footprint compatible with the company's lower profile series 59P901X but can handle significantly higher currents up to 76 Adc. The series also offers a wider inductance range of 120 nH to 510 nH, which makes it most suitable for high-current VRD and VRD applications in servers, workstations, desktops, video cards and DDR memory. Click here for the datasheet.
Available in 650 pieces per 13-inch reel, the new 59P9876 inductors are priced at $0.28 each in the quantities of 100,000. Samples and small pre-production quantities are available from stock with a production lead time of four weeks.

From Reuters:
The Bush administration will get broad price-setting powers under a student loan market stabilization plan given final approval on Thursday by the U.S. Congress, lifting the stock prices of student loan providers.
The House of Representatives voted 388-21 to approve the bipartisan legislation that next goes to President George W. Bush, who is expected to sign it into law.
Bush said he was pleased Congress had quickly passed the measure he says could potentially help millions of students.
"By granting the Department of Education greater authority to purchase Federal student loans, today's action should ease the anxiety many students may feel about their ability to finance their education this fall," Bush said in a statement.

Stocks Bounce Back
NEW YORK—Technology shares led U.S. stocks higher, reversing much of a day-earlier slide, as investors eyed corporate earnings and steady economic readings in the U.S. and Europe.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 99.22 points, or 0.7%, to 13979.30. The advance erased much of the Dow's 130-point drop on Monday, its biggest daily tumble since Dec. 28.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 15.58 points, or 1%, to 1511.29 Tuesday. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased 40.41 points, or 1.3%, to 3171.58.
Technology shares in the S&P 500 led gains across all 10 sector groups in the index. Computer Sciences jumped after reporting better-than-expected quarterly results. Apple, the world's largest company by market capitalization, posted its biggest increase in three weeks.
"The big macroeconomic issues are abating and now there's a wall of money coming into the equity markets," said Diane Jaffee, who helps oversee about $6 billion as group managing director of U.S. equities at TCW. "It's not all a bed of roses, but we do think the economy is starting to engage."
The U.S. nonmanufacturing sector expanded at a slower rate last month than in December, according to data released by the Institute for Supply Management, though the reading was slightly better than economists expected.
European markets were broadly higher after data showing private-sector activity in the euro zone contracted at the slowest rate in 10 months. But December retail sales in the euro zone declined 0.8% on the month, the largest month-to-month drop since April.
The Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.6% after sliding 1.5% on Monday. Spain's IBEX 35 index climbed 2.2% after slumping 3.8% a day earlier.
"It boils down to a global recovery story," said Sandy Lincoln, chief market strategist at BMO Global Asset Management, which oversees $120 billion. "There is evidence that traction is beginning to occur. Relative to other asset classes, equities seem to me to be sitting in the first chair."
Asian markets were mostly lower. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average slumped 1.9%, pulling back from the 4½-year high reached Monday, after a disappointing quarterly report and lowered outlook from conglomerate Hitachi weighed on other exporters.
China's Shanghai Composite added 0.2% after the country's central bank made the largest-ever daily liquidity injection to loosen up the money markets ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.
Front-month March crude-oil futures climbed 0.5% to settle at $96.64 a barrel, while February gold futures slipped 0.2% to settle at $1,672.40 an ounce. The dollar fell against the euro, but rallied against the yen. The 10-year Treasury note fell in price, pushing the yield up to 2.013%.
In the corporate arena, Dell shares gained after the computer maker confirmed it has agreed to be taken private by founder Michael Dell and private-equity firm Silver Lake Management. Shares of Microsoft , which is providing the buyers a $2 billion loan, also ticked up.
Estee Lauder led consumer-staples shares in the S&P 500, after the beauty-products company reported higher quarterly revenue and raised its profit forecast for the year.
McGraw-Hill tumbled after the Justice Department sued its Standard & Poor's Ratings Services unit late Monday, alleging the firm ignored its own standards in rating mortgage bonds ahead of the financial crisis. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said the government could seek more than $5 billion from the firm. S&P on Tuesday called the suit "meritless."
Zynga jumped after Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts raised their rating on the social-games provider to "buy" from "underperform," citing the performance of the company's FarmVille 2 game and potentially better results in mobile devices.
Cardinal Health firmed after the U.S.'s second-largest drug distributor by sales raised the low end of its earnings forecast.
Yum Brands dropped after the owner of KFC and other fast-food chains said it no longer expects earnings growth in 2013 given continued negative same-store sales.
The U.S.-listed shares of the U.K.'s Virgin Media surged after the company confirmed that it was in talks with international cable operator Liberty Global about a possible business combination.
NYSE Euronext rose after reporting fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that were below year-earlier levels but exceeded analyst estimates. The exchange operator said it anticipates operating expenses and its debt-to-earnings ratio to decline.

Uranium Stocks: While Gold Tops Out, this Forgotten "Yellow" Commodity Hits Its All-Time High
Uranium Stocks: While Gold Tops Out, this Forgotten "Yellow" Commodity Hits Its All-Time High
by Mark Skousen, Chairman, Investment U
Thursday, May 25, 2006: Issue #538
In the past two weeks, gold and other commodities have dropped sharply after a huge run-up.
But one "yellow" commodity continues to defy gravity, and is likely to climb even higher: Uranium.
Three Factors Favor A Continuing Uranium Stock Bull Market
1. The primary driver behind this year's sharp run-up in uranium, the fuel for nuclear power plants, is the dramatic increase in the number of contracts.
Last year, the uranium term market posted a dramatic record, more than doubling the previous reported record in 1996, with over 250 million pounds. 2006 could prove to be even higher
With an increasingly urgent need for America to reduce its "addiction" to Middle East oil, the trend is still upward for uranium. Governments and corporations are already spending billions searching for viable alternative energy sources. And while solar power and ethanol fuel have seen advances, neither will meet current global energy demand.
Nuclear power is the one resource available to meet growing electricity demand throughout the world, and it could become the world's preferred fuel.
According to the Nuclear Energy Institute, nuclear power supplies 19.9% of electricity used in America and 17% used across the world. With the federal government working to build new plants across the nation, nuclear power could easily double as a percentage of total electricity supply over the next few years.
Russia has also unveiled plans to build 24 additional nuclear reactors, and China has scheduled building more than 30 reactors (two 1,000-megawatt plants every year for the next 20 years). India is also going nuclear at a rapid pace. Worldwide, there are 160 power plants proposed or currently under construction.
2. There is increasing speculative interest in uranium stocks by hedge funds.
This year, 25% of uranium has been purchased by hedge fund players. They have also been big investors in Cameco stock (NYSE: CCJ), one of the world's premier uranium producers.
Speculative demand, however, is a two-edged sword - it can cause prices to skyrocket, but it can also create an unstable market. Uranium - and uranium stocks - could suffer from a sharp correction from time to time. (Speculative buying is notoriously volatile compared to the fundamentals of supply and demand.)
But in addition to getting special attention from hedge funds, uranium's getting some key public support
3. Previous critics of nuclear power are coming on board.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair recently reversed his 2003 negative assessment of nuclear power as an "unattractive option." In a speech to the Confederation of British Industry, Blair stated that replacement of Britain's nuclear power stations is "back on the agenda with a vengeance." He claimed it would be "a dereliction of my duty" if he neglected the issue, citing global warming, energy security and the high cost and unreliability of wind and solar power as key factors.
Another significant sea change is that the anti-nukes are switching sides One of the founders of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, recently changed his mind in an op-ed piece in The Washington Post. Moore now favors nuclear energy as "the only large-scale, cost-effective energy source that can reduce greenhouse emissions while continuing to satisfy a growing demand for power." Moore feels that nuclear energy can now be produced safely, and therefore is a better alternative energy solution than solar energy, fuel cells, etc.
Prospering From Higher Prices
The developments (increasing demand and limited supplies) mean uranium's record high could merely be the beginning.

An April 22 retrial has been set for a man who is accused of fatally shooting his wife in the community of Mescal during April 2009.
The Sierra Vista Herald reports that a jury had convicted 46-year-old Alger Frederick Hellard at a January 2011 trial of manslaughter in the death of 35-year-old Tammy Hellard.
But the Arizona Court of Appeals reversed his conviction.
The appeals court determined that a lower court should have given a certain instruction to the jury on the justification for use of force in crime prevention.
Hellard claimed he shot his wife accidentally while they were arguing.
Prosecutors contend he is still criminally responsible for his actions and noted he introduced the loaded gun into the situation.
