this Chisholm Trail in the Indian Territory, and for this reason became familiarly known as "The Chisholm Trail." This version of Mr. Anderson's was unanimously adopted by the Association as being authoritative and authentic:
MR. LUTHER A. LAWHON, Secretary, Old Time Trail Drivers' Association, San Antonio, Texas.
Your letter of April 13th came to hand after following me through the Cattle Convention to the Northwest and was finally received at El Paso, Texas, last week on my way here from San Antonio.
In reference to the Old Chisholm Trail I notice that you spell the name " Chism. " Another version is " Chissum," but probably the correct one is "Chisholm." As I understand the history of these trails, the original Chisholm Trail was named after John Chisholm, who was a Cherokee cattle trader, who supplied the government frontier posts with their cattle supply in the early part of the occupation of frontier posts and during the Civil War.
Among the first herds that started north from Texas was that of Smith and Elliot, and their guide was a gentleman who was formerly a soldier with Robert E. Lee, who had to do with the civilized tribes of the Indian Territory and used the old military trails, which were supposed to run from Texas to Sedalia, Mo., and crossed the Red River at Colbert's Ferry, and who afterwards was a citizen of San Antonio and whose children reside here now. The name I do not recall at present.
The first diversion from this trail was where the trail left the Sedalia trail for Baxter Springs. It was originally used by this same John Chisholm, the Cherokee Indian cattle trader, to supply Fort Scott, Kan. The basic ground for the commencement of this trail was

text: We are AP holders and have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to do FP+ in advance with the new DAS. Just got back from a half-day trip to AK and had a blast! I thought I would share my day to show how one can use both effectively. I reserved our times on Friday, planning on arriving close to RD to maximize our ride time. Primeval Whirl 9-10 EE 1040-1140 Safari 1145-1245 Today (sunday) came and guess, what, I overslept! We wouldn't get to the parks until close to 10! So I hopped online really quick before we left and made PW 940-1040, in roughly 3 minutes. Got the DAS at GR INSIDE the gate, the line was shorter. They went ahead, at my request, and signed us up for our first ride, EE, at GR. Wait time 20 minutes, they made it 10. By the time we got to the ride we hopped on using the DAS. Then we had them sign it again before heading off to PW with our FP+. Rode PW, headed back to EE. Rode TWICE in a row, with the FP+ and the DAS. Done with that by 11. Got the card signed again for EE. Decided we wanted to see Nemo at 12. Hopped online with the MDE app and changed our Safari window to 1245-145. Ate lunch at Flame Tree. Got to Nemo at 1145, joining the standby line, got a fine seat, loved the show as usual. Rode EE one more time (we REALLY love that ride). We could have gotten another time written for another ride at that point but we were close to being done for the day. Made a quick jaunt through one of the walking trails (the tiger one, I forget the name) before catching the Safari using FP+ during the tail end of our return time. Had an ice cream and went home. If we had arrived at RD it would have been even better. I CAN'T WAIT to use it for F! (never attempted because of the HUGE wait) and for preferred viewing of Illuminations. And looking forward to checking the times available before heading over for a quick after-school few hours. So I hope I have illustrated how you can use both together to both avoid major criss crossing the parks and to ride those beloved rides multiple times. While I still mourn the loss of the GAC, this system is definitely one I can work with!

Post office to wait on curbside delivery
By JON WILSON
© St. Petersburg Times, published December 6, 2000
ST. PETERSBURG -- For the time being, the city's postal customers won't get crunched between two government agencies debating curbside mail delivery.
Thomas W. Pawlowski, the city's new postmaster, says he won't pursue conversions of door delivery to curbside while the issue is being discussed.
And the city won't enforce an ordinance banning the curbside boxes, or cite homeowners who don't have a permit for one.
"The customers are the ones who have been suffering, so we need to figure out how to solve that," Pawlowski said.
The city's 19th postmaster will be officially installed at 10 a.m. today during a ceremony in the main post office lobby, 3135 First Ave. N. Mayor David Fischer will be among the officials present.
Pawlowski, who turned 48 years old Sunday, replaces Martha Worrell, who has retired.
The new job is a homecoming of sorts for Pawlowski, a native of Amsterdam, N.Y., who started his postal career in 1974 as a clerk in Tampa, where he also attended the University of South Florida. After graduating from high school in Erie, Pa., he also attended the University of Akron in Ohio.
Pawlowski stayed in Tampa for 13 years before moving on to postal service jobs at such stops as Fort Lauderdale and Jackson, Miss.
Most recently, Pawlowski was manager of postal retail operations in the Midwest, which included seven districts in eight states.
He and his wife Cheryl have three children.
Pawlowski, who has met with the City Council and other city officials during the past few weeks, is well aware of the longstanding curbside delivery controversy in St. Petersburg.
"It seems that's the one big issue we have that keeps us from having a good relationship with the community," Pawlowski said earlier this week.
The postmaster said he prefers that customers have a choice between curbside delivery and delivery to the door.
But while the issue remains under discussion with the city, residents should expect no clumps of curbline boxes making unexpected appearances around the city, Pawlowski said.
"We will no longer put any boxes on the curb until we figure out where we are going," Pawlowski said, noting that an exception would be made if a carrier's safety -- threatened by a dog, for example -- became an issue.
"If any (curbside boxes) pop up, we'll take them out," the postmaster said.
Meanwhile, Pawlowski said he expects to emphasize several areas that would affect customer access to postal services:
Expansion of the Consumer Advisory Council, a panel of residents who discuss issues of interest to post office customers. St. Petersburg has one now, Pawlowski said, but he wants to create more -- perhaps one for each two stations in the city. (There are currently 10 stations, plus the main post office.)
The councils could be a vehicle to let neighborhood association presidents know, for example, when postal officials have identified a dog as posing a carrier safety threat in a neighborhood.
Continuing and perhaps expanding contract postal units, which offer a postal window within an existing business.
Pawlowski said he might be looking to form contract partnerships with larger, stable businesses such as supermarket chains.
Looking at staff and scheduling at the windows in postal stations, with an eye toward keeping customers from spending any more than five minutes in a line.
City officials have reconfirmed enforcement of the curbside mailbox ban is on indefinite hold.
"We are not going to send code investigators to cite specifically for mailboxes," said Susan Ajoc, the city's Neighborhood Partnership director.
But the city continues to encourage residents to send in temporary permit applications that have been left at the doors of curbside box owners. "We're still trying to collect information," Ajoc said.
In August, the City Council required curbside box owners to get a permit. The council also said the permits would be available for free through Jan. 12, but that date could be be extended as city and postal officials try to come to an agreement.

A good friend of mine recently got engaged, and I figured since champagne can and will be overdone (over the course of her engagement/wedding)…why not spice it up a bit! That's where strawberry peach champagne jello shots come in.
The original recipe was found on a blog through Pinterest, but I decided to adapt it to my own liking. The original recipe uses pineapple jello, and that's pretty hard to find. So I used peach. I absolutely love the taste of peach – and you can find that flavor jello in pretty much any local supermarket.
The directions are quite simple…it's similar to making regular jello shots:
- – 2 packages of regular Peach Jello (there is less jello in a sugar free package so I'd use 3 packages if you go sugar free)
- – 1.5 cups of boiling water
- – 2.5 cups of champagne (I used Veuve Clicquot, but anything from Andre to Dom P can work)
- – Sliced Strawberries
- – Clear Disposable Plastic Cups (or champagne flutes if you can find them would be adorbs!)
1. Mix the jello and boiling water in a medium sized bowl, stirring until jello powder has all dissolved. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2. Stir in champagne and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until jello has just slightly thickened.
3. Set aside about 3/4 cup of your jello and champagne mixture for creating the foam top and put it back in the refrigerator.
4. Pour jello and champagne mixture into your shot glasses, then drop a few sliced berries in each glass.
6. Refrigerate overnight if possible. Or at least for 4-5 hours so jello is set.
7. Serve and toast to your heart's content!
Making these? Any tips?? Let me know how they come out!

Now, stop imagining and get ready to mount your bike. The Adventure Cycling Association the people who brought you the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail and the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route are gearing up to create a new route that will let cyclists follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark.
For more than a quarter of a century, the ACA has been actively creating on and off-pavement cycling routes across the nation. The new Lewis and Clark Bicycle Trail will celebrate one of America's greatest exploratory journeys: the three-year trek of William Clark and Meriwether Lewis.
This 3,000-mile route will trace their journey from the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to the Pacific Ocean near present-day Astoria, Oregon. Cyclists will traverse the river valleys of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and South and North Dakota; the basin and range country of eastern Montana; the imposing mountain ranges of western Montana and Idaho, and the serpentine course of the Columbia River.
The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806 is considered by many historians to be the single most important event in the development of the western United States. It secured America's purchase of the Louisiana Territory, and it extended American claims to the Pacific.
It also provided the first knowledge of the resources which eventually opened the way for settlement of the Northern Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest. This single journey had a profound and lasting effect on the political and economic development of the United States.
Lewis and Clark personify that which is best about travel. Much of what they saw was unexpected - the hallmark of any great journey. It is the delight of the unanticipated discovery, the shock of the new, not the miles covered nor the speed with which one's destination is reached, that lives in the mind forever.
The bicycle is a wonderful vehicle for really sharing the experiences of their journey. The ACA 's intention is to fashion the best linear cycling route between St. Louis, Missouri, and Astoria, Oregon.
They will also note on the route maps alternatives that can be used by cyclists using either road or mountain bikes. The main "backbone" will be a shared roadway (on-pavement) route.
The bicentennial (2004-2006) of Lewis and Clark's journey will call a lot of attention to what has been termed "America's ultimate road trip."
The ACA is now preparing for 2003 with the definitive cycling map set for experiencing the terrain through which Lewis and Clark traveled. To learn more about the planning behind the Lewis and Clark Bicycle Trail visit their Web site to lean about this and other bicycle routes they have pioneered across the United States.

The seabed search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet is set to widen as a sonar scan of the most likely crash site deep beneath the Indian Ocean nears completion without yielding a single clue, authorities said on Friday.
The Australian search co-ordination centre said a robotic submarine had scanned 95 per cent of a 120-square-mile search area since last week but had found nothing of interest. The US Navy's Bluefin 21 is creating a three-dimensional sonar map of the ocean floor near where signals consistent with aeroplane black boxes were heard on April 8.
The search area is a circle with a 6-mile radius 2.8 miles deep off the west Australian coast. The search of the target area is scheduled to be completed within days.
"If no contacts of interest are made, Bluefin 21 will continue to examine the areas adjacent to the 10-kilometer radius," the centre said in a statement.
"We are currently consulting very closely with our international partners on the best way to continue the search into the future," it added, referring to Malaysia, United States and China.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak told CNN on Thursday that his government will release a preliminary report on the plane's disappearance next week.
The report has already been sent to the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organization, but has yet to be made available to the public, CNN reported.
Australian Defense Minister David Johnston said this week that an announcement was likely next week on the next phase of the search for the Boeing 777 which vanished with 239 passengers and crew on board on March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
He said the next phase was likely to deploy more powerful side-scan sonar equipment that can delve deeper than the Bluefin 21.
On Friday, up to 8 planes and 10 ships were to search for debris over a 19,000 square mile) ocean expanse 1,000 miles northwest of Perth where the search is headquartered, the centre said.

2008 Nissan Altima - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Class with economy
By Polverizer on
Vehicle2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S 2dr Coupe (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
ReviewThe Altima coupe has the best-looking backend of any car out there at any price. Look at it from the rear and a little to the side and its a joy to behold. The 4 cylinders get you up to speed without even trying. Back seat has more headroom (slightly) than the Scion tC and Civic coupe -- but a 6-footer's head might touch the rear window. Not sure about mileage. I'm still on the first tank, but it seems fairly decent. Front seats are very comfortable, with good driver's lumbar support. Driver's leg compartment is more comfortable than Civic coupe, where the parking hand brake bothered my knee, and more spacious than the Mazda 3 sedan that crowded my lower leg. A lot of quality for the money.
Best FeaturesThe beautifully tapered trunk and overall exterior styling, driver's seat, powerful smooth 4-cylinder Nissan engine. Fit and finish is superb.
Worst FeaturesI don't quite understand the allure of the push button starter as opposed to a key, but it works fine. Wish the front end had a more attractive design. Golf clubs fit in the trunk easily if you put the top of the bag with the clubheads in first and then the bottom of the bag. A bit more trunk space.

i can't sleep, so i'm rambling to you. {on kindness and such}
10 comments:
Great message for me. I am also in a situation with one of my kids that most people don't know and no one (at least no one that I know) can I talk to about it. So, like you, I stay on the fringes, afraid to talk to people. But, what I need to remember is that to have a friend, I must be a friend. Even if they aren't going through the exact same thing, they can just be there, with a loving and listening heart. Thanks, Hannah!!ReplyDelete
"i prefer listening these days." I hear you, sister. I'm so glad you pushed your neck out there a little and risked. Why do we worry so much about these things?? Praying for you today... xoReplyDelete
I love your ramblings Hannah. You make more sense in your rambles than I could ever hope to make in a regular ole' non-ramble conversation. "Safe" people or friends are a gift from God. I often forget to be vulnerable and prefer to be the one listening, rather than talking, but God is good to give us those times with beloved friends or family where we realize how great our need is for each other. This was really beautiful. I love that quote at the end too.ReplyDelete
when i was learning about ollie's issues I prattled on and on and on to my sisters on the phone and thankfully they were so sweet and just listened and loved.ReplyDelete
i totally agree that we can only try to befriend someone and tell them our hearts. it's up to them how they respond. we should always respond as Jesus would, regardless of their response. this is hard, hard, hard because it means you open yourselves to all kinds of hurts...but also to all kinds of wonderful things too.
and yes, the best way for me to take my mind off my woes is to reach out to someone ELSE who is hurting. we are in a world full of hurting people at all times. even the ones who don't look like they are hurting.
great post, great reminder! love it.ReplyDelete
oh dear. how i hear you... i have bunkered down in my safe foxhole for far too long... it stinks in here. ;) thanks for the truth sweet one. :)ReplyDelete
I <3 you for your honesty. Because I feel the same way at times - although my topics are different. Also your last quote...made me smile. Il ove it.ReplyDelete
hannah, thank you so much for posting this.ReplyDelete
it was cool drink for my soul and slap across the face all at the same time (a much needed one, please believe).
That is one of my favorite quotes! Thanks for sharing your heart, your thoughts, fears, and victories. I can really relate to a lot of what you feel. I often assume someone will not like me or that I am burdening them in some way that I end up cutting off an opportunity for something good to happen. Thanks for the encouragement!ReplyDelete
Honestly, this line "basically, i'm a little terrified of any real conversations. i prefer listening these days" struck me and I didn't read much after.ReplyDelete
I'm experiencing a major season of transition and uncertainty right now and those two sentences describe me to the core right now. I don't want to answer questions about what our plans are, where we're going, and what God is doing because I don't have a clue. I want to read, listen, and just be. Talking takes too much for me right now.
Anyway, all of that to say thank you for this post and I know how you feel. <3

Divergent fortunes have been the story of the season in high school football so far.
Of 21 Northeast Georgia teams, almost half - nine - are undefeated, while four are still searching for that first victory.
Then there's me - the one I'm sure you were all most concerned about. I've been up-and-down myself, from 6-5 in week one, to a stellar 15-1 in week two, then back to a more pedestrian 8-5 last week. I won't make any promises, but if my bounceback performance in week two was any indication, it could be a breakout night tonight.
more Lovie columns
Back to actual football, though, where there is perhaps no more surprising unbeaten team than Winder-Barrow. It's early yet, but there's a buzz growing in Bulldogg country.
I've been as surprised as anyone, as evidenced by my incorrect picks against Winder-Barrow the past two weeks. Heritage presents the toughest test yet for the Bulldoggs, but I'm one to learn my lesson. I'll go with the boys from Winder until they lose. Bulldoggs 24, Patriots 21
Speaking of surprising results, I was definitely wrong about the strength of Jackson County. Yes, the Panthers lost to Clarke Central, but after I said the margin would be 39, and it was actually 10, Jackson County earned some respect.
It's been a long time - 15 games - since Jackson County got a win. That string ends tonight against a struggling Eastside team. Panthers 21, Eagles 14.
Meanwhile, for Cedar Shoals, defense has been the story, and a most impressive one at that. Three points allowed in two games makes any team tough to beat, even one that has occasionally struggled on offense like the Jaguars have.
The offense will come around in time, but the defense will be happy to shoulder the load until then. A matchup against Loganville will be favorable for both sides. Jaguars 35, Red Devils 3
Clarke Central took a hard blow when it found out OL/DL Anthony Cook is done for the year with a torn ACL. Losing their anchor on the lines is a tough blow for the Gladiators, but it's hardly time to count them out.
Rockdale County, meanwhile, has played just once. That didn't go so well for the Bulldogs, as they were blanked by Cedar Shoals22-0. It won't go much better tonight, either. Gladiators 24, Bulldogs 9
Athens Christian knew it would have a hard time early in the season while it tried to replace Josh Pennington at wide receiver. But no one expected it to be this difficult for the Eagles, who are still looking for their first points of the season after three games.
But after playing the best team in Class A history last week, the Eagles this week get their shot at arguably the worst. Things have improved for Glascock County since the Panthers ended their record 82-game losing streak in 1999 - but not by much. Athens Christian is 4-0 all-time against Glascock County, and after tonight, it'll be 5-0. Eagles 28, Panthers 14
In other games: Madison County over Monroe Area, Elbert County over Seneca (S.C.), Franklin County over West Oak (S.C.), Hart County over Central Gwinnett, Stephens County over Northview, Commerce over Morgan County, Dawson County over Apalachee, Wesleyan over Banks County, Lincoln County over Athens Academy, Landmark Christian over Jefferson.
Last week: 8-5
Overall: 29-11
By the numbers
140: Average number of offensive yards surrendered through two games by Cedar Shoals' defense. The Jaguars have allowed just three points.
The big game
Commerce hosts Morgan County in a matchup of unbeaten teams that combined to win 17 regular-season games in 2002. The Bulldogs won their opener and took a week off; the Tigers are 2-0 with two impressive wins.

Miami (Fla.) Northwestern linebacker Sean Spence is one of many high-level Division I-A prospects on his high school roster for the Class of 2008. The tackling machine currently holds three scholarship offers and has interest in and from multiple other programs.
"I've got three offers," Spence said. "I've got offers from Miami (Fla.), Rutgers and Ole Miss. I got these during my junior year."
Being from Miami, the 6-foot, 200-pound Spence has always had his eye on the Hurricanes.
Article Continues Below
"I grew up a Miami fan," he said. "I have always admired their linebackers and how they play. I also like how they put linebackers into the NFL and how their family atmosphere is."
Spence's favorite former Hurricane is D. J. Williams, who was rated by Rivals.com as the nation's top overall prospect in the Class of 2000.
Despite Spence's long ties to the Canes program, he's giving other programs a fair look for now.
"I'm just keeping an open mind right now," he said. "My school, Miami Northwestern, has a former player at Rutgers, Tim Brown. I went up there before at a camp and it was real nice. I have never been to Ole Miss, but they say it's extremely nice.
"I also like Auburn, Florida, South Carolina."
He recently traveled to Gainesville with some of his teammates for the Gators' Junior Day event.
"It was nice," he said. "They showed us around the campus and showed us their locker rooms and things. They showed us a good time."
Spence likely won't make a final decision for some time.
"I'm going to make my decision on Signing Day (2008)."
Spence had 197 total tackles during his junior year. While his physical talents are not questioned, his cerebral approach to the position gives him an edge as well.
"I like to breakdown film," he said. "I look at film and study the other team, going over the plays. (Miami Northwestern head coach Roland) Smith and I go over the film and rehearse the plays."
Spence, who helped his team to the Class 6A championship and an unbeaten record, was a first-team All-State selection by the Florida Sportswriters Association. He currently is rated as the state's No. 12 junior by FlaVarsity.com.

(Cannes, France) Today at MIPTV 2006, Nick Jr., Nickelodeon's preschool programming block and Nelvana jointly announce the production of a second season for 3-D musical preschool series The Backyardigans. 20 new episodes of The Backyardigans have commenced production and season two is slated to kick off in October 2006 on Nick Jr.
"This series is one of the most interesting and unique concepts that Nelvana has had the pleasure to be involved with," said Scott Dyer, Nelvana's Executive VP of Production and Development. "Creator Janice Burgess' creative vision and playful storytelling is the ideal match for Nelvana's dynamic team of animators. We are thrilled to team with Nickelodeon for another season of what we hope will become a perennial preschool property."
"The creators of i>The Backyardigans have spread their imaginative net to include musical genres like Kenyan Highlife, Tango, and Jug Band Music. Combined with great storytelling and choreographed dance moves, The Backyardigans inspires and enchants our preschool audience and their parents," said Brown Johnson, Executive Creative Director, Nickelodeon Preschool Television. "We are excited to be working with Janice Burgess and her creative team on an excellent new set of adventures which encourage preschoolers to stretch their imaginations."
In every episode of The Backyardigans, five high-spirited neighbors meet in their adjoining backyards and use their imaginations to transform themselves into different locations for epic adventures. The Backyardigans are: Pablo, an energetic, enthusiastic and excitable penguin; Pablo's best friend Tyrone, an easy-going, confident young moose; Uniqua, a one-of-a-kind character with an adventurous nature; Tasha, a deceptively sweet and girlish hippo; and Austin, a resourceful and shy kangaroo. Each half-hour episode of The Backyardigans features a unique music/dance genre with four original songs, along with real choreographed movements recreated in animation. The animated dance steps are choreographed by Beth Bogush, a former director of the Alvin Ailey Dance School's children's program and performed by real dancers whose movements are then recreated in animation. The show's rich animation style features lush, fantasy backgrounds created with CGI and 3D techniques.
The Backyardigans was created by Janice Burgess, who joined Nick Jr. in 1995 as a production executive for the award-winning series Blue's Clues and Little Bill. Burgess also serves as Executive Producer. Robert Scull is Executive Producer and Supervising Director, and Jonny Belt is Co-Executive Producer and Supervising Creative Director. Scull and Belt also teamed up for Little Bill and Whoopi's Littleburg, both on Nick Jr. The Backyardigans original music is composed by accomplished musician Evan Lurie, one of the original members of the eclectic musical group "The Lounge Lizards."
The Backyardigans is a co-production with Nick Jr. and Corus Entertainment's Nelvana. Nick Jr. is a specially designed programming block airing on Nickelodeon weekdays from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. (ET/PT) and weekends on CBS (check local listings).
Completely dedicated to preschoolers ages 2-5, Nick Jr.'s Emmy, Peabody and Parents' Choice Award-winning programs are curriculum based, fun and commercial free. At Nick Jr., kids play to learn with innovative, original shows created just for them. Nickelodeon, in its 26th year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids.

University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point will become a tobacco-free campus by the
fall of 2014.
time," said Chancellor Bernie Patterson. "UW-Stevens Point is known for
sustainability and health consciousness. This policy demonstrates our
commitment to wellness, which is a major part of our strategic plan, A
Partnership for Thriving Communities, and our Healthy Communities initiative."
decision was made after carefully considering views of hundreds of faculty,
staff members and students during the past year, Patterson said. The
decision-making process included:
support was not unanimous, it was overwhelmingly in favor of a tobacco-free
policy, Patterson said in a message to campus.
"The goal was to promote and protect the health of all faculty,
staff, students and visitors to our campus, said Sallie Scovill, associate professor, School
of Health Promotion and Human Development, who co-chaired the tobacco-free
campus committee and coordinates employee wellness. "We've had evidence of the
damaging effects of tobacco use for a long time, and this is clearly the
greatest good for the vast majority of people."
to concerns from the student body, the Student Government Association has been
leading the policy development around tobacco since the spring of 2012. This is
an important step in improving the overall wellness of our community," said
Ryan Specht, SGA president.
will appoint a committee of faculty, staff members, students and community
members to develop an implementation plan in the spring semester. Support
will be provided for those who want to stop using tobacco.

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said there would be large risks to the global financial system if the United States imposed unilateral across-the-board tariffs on Chinese imports.
Referring to a bill before the US Senate threatening a 27.5% tariff on all Chinese imports if China does not revalue its pegged yuan exchange rate, Greenspan said this was the wrong tactic.
"My basic concern is that if we are forced to implement a very significant unilateral tariff, the dangers to the overall financial system, in my judgement, are very large," he told a Senate Finance Committee hearing on US-China relations.
Treasury Secretary John Snow told the same hearing that a yuan revaluation would lead to other currency adjustments across Asia.
But Greenspan said a global currency accord along the lines of agreements in the mid-1980s may neither be possible, nor desirable, any more because of the globalization since then.
"The world is different from the days of Plaza," Greenspan said, referring to the so-called Plaza Accord among the top economic powers to weaken the dollar in 1985.
"I don't think it's possible, even if it were somehow conceptually desirable—and I'm not sure that it is." (Reuters)

Goldcorp Offers to Buy Osisko Mining - Is the Bottom of Gold in?
Goldcorp offered Osisko shareholders $2.4 billion in stock and cash to buy the shares of Osisko Mining (OSK). In terms of proven and potential gold in the ground, OSK is one of the best ways to play a big recovery in the price of gold and the precious metals mining industry. Goldcorp has always been the most likely buyer of Osisko so it was just a matter of time before this deal happened. For the record, Osisko is one of
the bigger
stock positions in the fund I manage. I have been waiting since 2010 for GG to
OSK. This is just the beginning.
Without going into the details of actual offer put on the table (I leave that for the super-anal analysts who give themselves brain damage scrutinizing every detail of shares vs.
), I will say that in the context of where the scant number of mine acquisitions have occurred in the last 18 months, the deal appears to "fair." I also believe that Goldcorp will be forced to raise their offer if they really want to own OSK. OSK is sitting on one the newest and largest actively mined gold deposits in the world (10 million
proven and probable) and it is developing a second "elephant" deposit. Although the latter is still classified as "measured and indicated," it represents 7.5 million
that are most likely eventually going to be elevated to "proven and probable."
Large gold deposits have become very rare. Goldcorp knows this.
resource base was starting to get depleted, like Newmont's and Barrick's. The OSK deal offers an active 10 million ounce gold mine plus the likelihood of another 20 million ounces down the road.
Is this a fair deal? Yes, in the context of $1200 gold. But what about $2,000 gold, where gold was headed
the Federal Reserve and U.S Government were staring into the abyss and put into motion the most corrupt and intensive market intervention strategy in history in order to get gold down to where it is now and save the U.S.
Goldcorp knows where the price of gold is headed and
why they are buying Osisko now. They also probably know that the window of opportunity to buy 30 million ounces of gold in the ground at this price is quickly closing. In other words, this deal marks the turn in the massive gold and mining stock sell-off of the last two-plus years. While I expect Goldcorp to sweeten its offer, don't get caught up in the details of this transaction and miss the big picture: the bottom is in and gold is back on track to resume the upward trajectory it was on in 2011.
There is an acute
shortage of physical gold
in the world that can be delivered into China's voracious appetite. Last week alone 62 tonnes - a rate that greatly exceeds weekly global gold mine output - was delivered on the Shanghai Gold Exchange. Goldcorp knows this
and and
is putting
money where
mouth is. Stay away from the large mining companies and look for the ones that will be acquired - there a many that will yield 30-40x their current share price.
Don't let the thick smoke of disinformation and misinformation being blown by Wall Street and the media blind you. Follow the money...

Time to Back up the Truck and Buy Gold!
It has now been 29 months since gold last reached a new high in its current bull market cycle. The
lasted 22 months (top to bottom), having bottomed on June 28th 2013 at $1180. Confirmation of the bottom came on Dec 31 when gold briefly touched $1182, and left behind a double bottom.
There have been two other corrections that lasted 6 months or more, from top to bottom: In 2006 gold declined for 6 months, and in 2008 the pullback took 8 months to bottom.
Thus a 22 month down-cycle qualifies under
the Gann definition
as 'time is up'.

Overstock CEO Slams "Unethical" Krugman; Hopes "Bitcoin Destroys Central Banking"
Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne goes to town on Keynesian Crony
Paul Krugman
in this brief interview. Byrne blasts Krugman for everything from his "unethical" involvement in the Enron debacle to his present day view that "the market failed so we need more government; or freedom failed so we need more government."Noting that Krugman may have done "some great work before he went crazy," he rants against the Fed apologist for his "
is evil" comments adding that
he hopes
"Bitcoin can destroy central banking." Byrne pulls no punches in his attack on Krugman and his "Keynesian magic money tree theories," as he explains why the so-called 'economist' would be against a 'bounded currency'.

Nigel Farage Booms "Europe Is Now Run By Big Banks, Big Business, And Big Bureaucrats"
With Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras
into his role as EU President, UKIP's
Nigel Farage
stunned the "Goldman Sachs puppet" with a 150-
he has likely never experienced. Farage sarcastically remarks how Greeks "will be dancing in the streets" at Samaras' 'successful' negotiation on MiFiD reminding him that "60% of youth are unemployed and the neo-nazi party are on the march." Europe is now run by "big business, big banks, and big bureaucrats," Farage goes on, suggesting the
-looking Samaras should "rename his party from New Democracy to No Democracy." People do not want a United State of Europe, the outspoken UKIP leader explains, they want a "Europe of sovereign states," and concludes ominously, "the European elections will be a watershed."

The Biggest Scandal in Economic History
There is no doubt in my mind, that China wants its yuan (probably backed with gold) to be the world's next reserve currency. The US with its obscene level of
debt is in no
condition to keep the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Incidentally, I note that an increasing number of international commerce
are now transacted
in Chinese yuan. The dollar is the Achilles heel of the US.
As I've been saying, the year 2014 will be a year of tectonic changes.
Bitcoin currency
is becoming
by an increasing number of organizations. Bitcoin is a menace to the phony dollars that are pumped out by the Fed. I know that the Fed wants to have a monopoly on the production of US money. Therefore, Bitcoin is a menace and rival to the Fed "dollars."
Therefore I
expect the Fed to attempt to outlaw trading in Bitcoin.
Pity the Fed, besieged by Bitcoin and Chinese yuan. Bernanke will be happy to get back to South Carolina and out of DC
Will the Treasury
the nerve to re-set the price of gold to $10,000 an ounce? And do we have enough gold to make a re-set worthwhile?
If it turns out that the US doesn't have the gold it claims to have. We could be looking at the biggest scandal in economic history. If we have all the gold we say we have, where's the damn audit?

China is Buying Gold to Become the Reserve Currency of the World
"You have to ask yourself this about the Chinese, in such dramatic contrast to us, why are they encouraging their citizens, I'm not saying not forbidding them, I'm saying actively encouraging them them on TV, etc., to buy gold?....
One reason could be that they want their citizens to (eventually) turn in some of their gold, and they (the Chinese government) will turn it into currency for them. That's great. They are already setting up the mechanism
a gold standard.
Eric, the implications here are just phenomenal. You have to believe the Chinese have completely lost their minds in order not to believe that they are looking at gold in the multi-thousand dollar range. That's the only way this makes sense. They are looking at gold as a central player in a
new reserve currency
. Who in the world would want (to hold) the dollar from a
perspective? You (also) have this incredible alliance forming between China, Russia and Germany."

India's Invincible Love Story With Gold
Despite the government's ongoing efforts to cut gold imports - aimed at closing a widening current account deficit among other status-quo-questioning factors, the following brief clip from Bloomberg TV sums it all up perfectly - For this country of over one billion, "Gold is, was, and always
." And now, following import bans and higher taxes, the government is considering restrictions on the holiest of holies - wedding gifts, and "legislating against love."
By trying to discourage gold-buying,
India's government
is trying to
centuries of tradition ("and an abiding love for the world's only enduring currency") and has created a major black-market for the precious metal...

The top ten trees of Balboa Park
History, roots, reverence.
Elizabeth Salaam 10:30 a.m., Nov. 22
In today's (March 10) New York Times, Prof. Richard J. Ablin of the University of Arizona College of Medicine declares that that so-called P.S.A. screening for prostate cancer "has led to a hugely expensive public health disaster." Ablin says he discovered P.S.A. in 1970. The annual bill for P.S.A. screening is $3 billion. But the test "is hardly more effective than a coin toss." Ablin says the test can't detect prostate cancer and can't distinguish between the kind that is fatal and the kind that isn't. The P.S.A. test put San Diego biotech on the map. Hybritech developed a commercial version of the test in the mid-1980s. Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly paid $400 million for the company. That made a bunch of San Diegans rich, and they went on to become venture capitalists and spokesmen for the emerging biotech field. Some scientists who worked on P.S.A. at Hybritech also bolstered their resumes. Other biotechs, including ones in San Diego, have and are working on prostate cancer tests.
In recent years, it has become obvious that the PSA is just a crude screening device. For many sufferers of prostate cancer, the PSA does not detect early enough to do much good. There are better diagnostic means, but they are expensive, time-consuming, and very uncomfortable. But PSA can yield false positives, too. I was fortunate to have requested ultrasound testing, even though my PSA was "normal". Having a test done for my peace of mind detected the cancer in a moderately aggressive form. It has been over twelve years now, and my decision to have surgery seems to have been a good one. A friend of mine was not so lucky. His PSA's were "normal" until he was diagnosed with a severe case of prostate cancer. He passed away a couple years ago.
The world needs a better test than PSA for prostate cancer.
Response to post #1: You made a wise decision, and I hope things continue going well. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. The one thing you can say about the PSA test is that a lot of San Diegans raked in a lot of money from it. Best, Don Bauder

My Nonprofit Reviews
SHH member
Review for Sarah Heinz House Association, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Both of my children, 12 and 9, have been members since first grade. They attend Cyber School. What we were seeking was a place where my children can have social interaction with their peers, but what we received was far more. My daughter is now on the swim team; my son is learning to swim and thoroughly enjoying the robotics class. Five days a week they are in a fun safe environment for a minimal cost. I could not be more pleased with the facility, the staff, and especially the swimming coaches.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Allow participation (at a higher cost) in the extra activities, without mandatory attendance in Club and Gym-swim.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

WHO: Bryana White, 23, of Kingston, R.I.
WHERE: New York
WHEN: Two weeks in July
WHY: To participate in the Right to Marry Campaign, organized by Soulforce Q, the young-adult arm of Soulforce, a nonprofit group based in Lynchburg, Va., that promotes "freedom for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people from religious and political oppression through the practice of relentless nonviolent resistance."
WHY CARE: "Marriage equality is an issue I'm passionate about," said White, a New Bedford native and doctoral student in clinical psychology at the University of Rhode Island. "Being heterosexual, I feel like I take it for granted, but it's ludicrous that friends of mine can't marry. I do have many friends who are LGBTQ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer], and this is one way I can help them. And as an African-American woman, I see a lot of similarities with the civil rights movement. I feel like my generation isn't really politically active. A lot of us think no one will take us seriously. But this is a forum where we can do something."
WHY SOULFORCE: White heard about Soulforce from a friend at Vassar College, where she earned her undergraduate degree. "They follow the practices of Gandhi and Martin Luther King. We would be talking to lawmakers and regular people. A lot of people who aren't for marriage equality don't really know what it is. So it's not open bigotry, but misunderstanding."
WHY NEW YORK: Governor Eliot Spitzer proposed legislation this year that would legally sanction same-sex marriage in the state, though the Senate has yet to vote on the bill. Soulforce organized four caravans totaling 32 young adults to crisscross the state visiting the home districts of state lawmakers. They first had several days of training in Albany. "We went over the literature on marriage equality, talked about lawmakers, the process, and how we personally felt," White said. "It was one of the most amazing experiences I've had, being with this big mix of people from all over the country. It was predominantly people who were LGBTQ and comfortable with themselves, and speak passionately and eloquently. I would just be angry. The leaders were amazing people, young adults who have given themselves to these rights not just for two weeks, but for years."
TOWN TO TOWN: White's group "traveled all over upstate New York in our little van. For the most part we stayed at churches that were LGBTQ-friendly, or homes. We brought sleeping bags; it felt a little bit like summer camp." The route took them to Syracuse, Binghamton, Catskill, New Paltz, Poughkeepsie, and Long Island before reconvening with all the campaigners in the Bronx. Before scheduled meetings, "we'd arrive a few hours before and change into our meeting clothes in a
DOOR TO DOOR: Occasionally the group canvassed neighborhoods and businesses to discuss the difference between civil unions and marriage. White said they were generally well received. "Maybe it's our youthful naivete and that we were a group of fresh-faced, well-dressed young people. People are generally respectful, even when they're not for something."

Tagged: Frontpage vs Portfolio, WTC3 how to
February 16, 2013 at 4:10 pm #20412
Hi there at Kriesi
Having a few questions and things iI can´t solve or find out how to do.
FRONT PAGE vs PORTFOLIO
My frontpage is set to 16 cases, in the main menu i have a home and portfolio – they are at the moment the same.
Is it possible to have 16 cases on the frontpage and have more cases in the portfolio section ?. And if how do o do that ?
BLOG Activation
I tried to activate my blog – I sort of got a half result. http://sorenzen.com/sorenzen-com-official-finally
This blog page does not display when i activate the Blog page in the Menu section. It is something that I do wrong I just can´t figure out what.
( I´m not totally sure if I at, an early time, deleted that Blog page coming with the theme).
CASES and related entries
Choosing any video case from my frontpage, it shows only grey [video icon] fields below in the related entries. Is that supposed to look like that or ?. (All videos are linked from Vimeo).
Videos in entries can not go Fullscreen ?. At times it goes fullscreen within the video area!.
(All videos are linked from Vimeo).
Best Regards
StewartFebruary 18, 2013 at 2:28 pm #107547
Hi Stewart,
1) You can set up multiple portfolio pages all with their own attributes and settings. Just create a new page, save it and then go to the thems Portfolio section and click on the green + to add a new set of Portfolio options where you can choose the page and other options.
2) The blog is just a place to output all of your "Posts". Whatever page you choose in the main theme options for "Blog" will show those posts.
3) You need to set a preview image for the video if you want it to show as an image on those pages. You can so by clicking on the video icon that appears after you've added a video to a portfolio item (on that portfolio item page).
4) Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
.post-entry .slideshow_container .arrow_controls, .flex_column .slideshow_container .arrow_controls {
height: 40px;
DevinFebruary 19, 2013 at 12:07 am #107548
Thank you Devin – i´ll try it all out, then give some feedback. Cheers ;)February 19, 2013 at 6:32 am #107549February 25, 2013 at 9:44 pm #107550
Got in contact with the host – they turned of the PHP cache. My site is responding pretty slow at entry. Perhaps i got a little to many big files. Saw another post form you regarding CDN and "WT3C" plug ins.
But i´m not sure how to apply or what to do with this:
Deactivate and uninstall any other caching plugin you may be using. Pay special attention if you have customized the rewrite rules for fancy permalinks, have previously installed a caching plugin or have any browser caching rules as W3TC will automate management of all best practices. Also make sure wp-content/ and wp-content/uploads/ (temporarily) have 777 permissions before proceeding, e.g. in the terminal: # chmod 777 /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/ using your web hosting control panel or your FTP / SSH account.
Login as an administrator to your WordPress Admin account. Using the "Add New" menu option under the "Plugins" section of the navigation, you can either search for: w3 total cache or if you've downloaded the plugin already, click the "Upload" link, find the .zip file you download and then click "Install Now". Or you can unzip and FTP upload the plugin to your plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/). In either case, when done wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/ should exist.
Locate and activate the plugin on the "Plugins" page. Page caching will automatically be running in basic mode. Set the permissions of wp-content and wp-content/uploads back to 755, e.g. in the terminal: # chmod 755 /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/.
04) Just tried to put it in under Quick CSS, will wait and see.
03) Did not have time setting up the preview images yet, got work incoming last week.
I´ll still leave some feedback, when i get to it.
Thank you ;)February 26, 2013 at 1:36 am #107551
Hi Again Dude and Devin ;).
02) BLOG Is solved.
03) Preview Images is solved.
04) FULL SCREEN – tried to add the code to the Quick CSS in theme options. But so far it has not had any effect. Clicking a Vimeo embed movie on the full Screen icon results in the website going fullscreen, and the movie going full screen, but within the original movie frame size.
01) Did not try out mutiple portfolios yet, but early I recall deactivating drop downs in the menu.
05) Contact Page – would like to add White space between the Contact page headline and the e-mail form. Tried a few thing but did not succeed. Should be fairly easy right or ?February 26, 2013 at 3:41 pm #107552
I'm not having any issue with full size videos showing correctly on my end. Once the video is loaded in however, its purely controlled by vimeo (or youtube etc). What was happening before was just an invisible frame overlapping the video player and making the button unable to be clicked.
For the contact page, add this css to your Quick CSS or custom.css file:
#top.page-id-763 .post-entry h3 {
padding-bottom: 20px;
}February 26, 2013 at 6:47 pm #107553
Okay – Thanks DevinFebruary 26, 2013 at 9:57 pm #107554
Yes that did Contact trick – thx ;)

DAMASCUS, Syria, March 17 (UPI) -- Tensions are dividing Syria's main opposition group over whether to reach out to members of the current regime to form a new government, officials said.
Syrian Opposition Coalition talks are scheduled to begin Monday to discuss forming a new cabinet and appointing a new prime minister for the troubled country, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
The coalition could form an alternative government that excludes representatives of President Bashar Assad's regime, or they could reach out and form a transitional government, the newspaper said.
Some members are accusing coalition head Sheik Mouaz al-Khatib of betraying the group's original mandate because he favors seeking out potential liaisons within Assad's regime.
"We are telling him to resign," said Kamal Labwani, a coalition member. "If that happens, we finish off this illusion of dialogue."
"We have liberated this land with our blood," he added. "Let's set up a government already."
Meanwhile, Syria's government said Sunday militant jihadist fighters were pouring into the war-torn nation by the hundreds with the assistance of the United States.
A report in the pro-government newspaper al-Watan claimed hundreds of militants had already joined up with Syrian rebels, and as many as 15,000 were undergoing training in Lebanon.
The newspaper blamed the alleged incursions on its neighbor Jordan as well as the United States and Persian Gulf nations. "Jordan has succumbed to the United States and Gulf States' pressure to become, like Lebanon and Turkey, a passage to the jihadists into Syria," al-Watan said.
Lebanon has denied any role in the alleged infiltrations. President Michel Suleiman said Saturday the stability of the region depended on not allowing the Islamist fighters to get a foothold in the region, China's Xinhua news agency said.
President Bashir Assad's government warned Lebanon Thursday it would fire into Lebanese territory if the alleged surge of militants did not cease. The army also reinforced positions near the Lebanese border.
Meanwhile, Assad's government continued to experience defections in the ranks.
A Syrian army general who defected this weekend with his son, an army captain, said he coordinated the move with "different factors of the Syrian revolution."
In an interview with al-Arabiya, Brig.Gen. Mohammed Khalouf and Capt. Izza al-Din, said their defection took a lot of planning.
"Preparations for my defection from the Assad regime started with coordinated planning with different factors of the Syrian revolution until it succeeded," Khalouf said in the broadcast from Jordan.
Kahlouf served as head of logistics and supply for the Syrian army and his son served in a reconnaissance unit, CNN said.

Hendrix College senior Jennifer Robin Tate of Germantown, Tenn., received the Hendrix President's Medal during a convocation Thursday, the highest award attainable by a graduating senior.
The award is presented annually to the student who best exemplifies the highest ideals of the college. Tate was the 29th student to receive the medal, first awarded in 1980. As the President's Medal winner, she will carry the banner of the college during Hendrix's commencement on May 10.
Tate, an English major, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marc Tate of Germantown. In addition to receiving the President's Medal, Tate was awarded the Robert W.

Pratt plans to use the fellowship to investigate how globalization and other socio-cultural factors have affected women's traditional food practices and their body image throughout the world.

Helping Mali resolve crisis is high priority: FeltmanListen /
Ensuring that the United Nations does its utmost to help Mali resolve the complex crisis it faces today is one of the highest priorities for the Secretary-General, Jeffrey Feltman told the UN Security Council on Wednesday.
Mr. Feltman, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, said important work is already underway on the ground in Mali, but the most significant development in the political process remains the adoption of a Roadmap for the Transition.
Strengthening the capacity and legitimacy of the State and the political system at all levels, he said, remains a key priority for the UN and for political leaders in Mali.
" The coup d'état of 22 March 2012 and the crisis in northern Mali are, in large measure, manifestations of a crisis of governance that encompasses endemic corruption, weak State capacity to provide basic services and the low level of legitimacy of State institutions and the political system. "
Mr. Feltman said he hopes that a broad and inclusive Malian-led political process can begin to address the long-term challenges that must be overcome for Mali to achieve long-term political stability and economic prosperit.
