Add/View Comments (0)The prospect of sexual competition stimulates premature and repeated ejaculation in a mammal
Brian T. Preston, and Paula Stockley
Corresponding authorWhen faced with the prospect of female promiscuity, males have evolved diverse strategies to limit reproductive loss to competitors through the sperm competition that would follow [1]. Although striking variation exists between species, mammalian copulatory behaviour is often complex and protracted, and could serve both to curb female re-mating, and enhance male fertilization success if sperm competition occurs [2,3]. Here, we demonstrate that male wild house mice, Mus musculus domesticus, adjust key components of their copulatory behaviour when there is an elevated risk that females will mate with a rival, showing that dynamics in male copulatory behaviour have evolved in the context of female promiscuity.
Wild house mice are an ideal model for studying evolutionary adaptations to occasional female infidelity, because although dominant males establish and aggressively defend territories in which females nest, females do sometimes mate promiscuously and produce mixed-paternity litters [4,5]. Like many other rodents, house mice engage in multiple bouts of intra-vaginal thrusting — called intromissions — during each copulation, between which males will dismount and move away [2]. The genital stimulation caused by such protracted copulations induces a neuroendocrine response in females that can reduce their sexual receptivity [6], and hence highly 'stimulated' females appear less likely to seek additional copulations [3,7,8]. Repeated ejaculation is also common in mammals and sometimes occurs in mice [2], which is thought to increase a male's chances of paternity once females have mated promiscuously [7,8], by either increasing or spreading the delivery of their sperm [9]. Given these putative benefits of prolonged and repeated copulation, but also its likely costs (e.g. predation or physical exhaustion), we should expect males to tailor their copulatory behaviour according to the perceived risk of female promiscuity and the ensuing sperm competition [9].
To determine whether male copulatory behaviour is sensitive to sperm competition risk, we compared male behaviour when mating alone with a female, and when mating in visual, auditory, and olfactory — but not physical — contact with another male. We predicted that males would react to a competitor by providing greater copulatory stimulation to females, to inhibit their remating activity, and by ejaculating more frequently, in response to the increased likelihood of sperm competition. We analysed three different measures of copulatory stimulation: the number of thrusts, the number of intromissions, and the duration of copulatory contact. As all of these produced comparable results, we present analyses examining the number of intra-vaginal thrusts, and report differences between measures where evident. To prevent female receptivity or oestrous stage confounding our results, we controlled for these variables when appropriate (Table 1). In contrast to our first prediction, our experiment showed that when a rival is present, males reduced their copulatory stimulation by a median of 53% before first ejaculating (Figure 1A, Table 1A). This reduction was accompanied by more vigorous penile thrusting (average thrusts per second during intromissions (log x+1 transformed): mean difference = 0.0351, s.e. = 0.0168, t22 = 2.09, p = 0.048). Females did not cause males to ejaculate prematurely, as female resistance independently increased stimulation during the first copulation (Table 1A), and females appeared to be equally cooperative in each experimental group (paired t-test of female cooperation: n = 23, p > 0.318). A possible advantage of premature ejaculation is that it promotes more rapid sperm transfer. This reduces the risk of losing reproductive opportunities through an aggressive takeover, or female rejection, during an otherwise protracted copulation. In this context, we note that the amount and rate of stimulation preceding the second ejaculation was not similarly affected (paired t-tests: n = 8; p > 0.32 for all measures). Thus, once males had delivered their first ejaculate, and could potentially sire offspring, they appeared to resume normal copulatory behaviour. There was no difference in the onset of copulation in experimental groups (paired t-test: n = 23, p > 0.74), suggesting that males were not inhibited by their rival. Nonetheless, pre-copulatory exposure to females is known to affect a male's subsequent reproductive performance [10], and so we controlled for variation in exposure (time from introduction to first intromission) in our models (Table 1).

Rival present | 1 | −3.050 | 1.265 | 5.82 | 0.016 | ||
The analyses examine how phenotype and socio-sexual conditions influence a male's (A) copulatory stimulation prior to a first ejaculation, constant = −2.347 and (B) total copulatory stimulation over 20 hours of observation, constant = 21.38. Dependent variables are the number of thrusts recorded in 49 trials using 26 focal males, and underwent square rootx+1 transformation. Male identity is fitted as a random term. |
a logx+1 transformed; b female resistance excluded (p > 0.08); c male body mass and the difference in body mass of mating pairs were substituted for male body mass, but were not significant (p > 0.24). |
Across the trial, the impact of premature ejaculation in the first copulation led to males delivering fewer thrusts and spending less time in copula with a rival present (Table 1B), though this reduced stimulation was distributed across a similar number of intromissions (Linear Mixed Model: treatment effect: n = 49, p > 0.5). These findings are contrary to our initial expectation that stimulation should increase under elevated sperm competition risk, and suggest that protracted periods of copulatory stimulation carry prohibitive costs under increased competition for copulatory access to females.
Both risk of sperm competition and competition for access to females are likely to vary with the size of mating males, if male size reflects their ability to fend off rivals, or their mates' propensity to seek additional copulations. Therefore, we examined male body mass for its influence on copulatory stimulation. After controlling for experimental treatment, we found that heavier males delivered more copulatory stimulation, both in the first copulatory bout, and across the trial (Figure 1B; Table 1).
Though it is possible that heavier males were simply able to forcibly control copulatory pace because of their greater size relative to their mates, neither female body mass nor the difference in body mass of mating pairs affected the stimulation received by females (Table 1). Because greater stimulation in the first copulatory bout could reduce males' ability to inseminate a second ejaculate — e.g. through physical exhaustion, reduced female receptivity [3,6,7], or sperm depletion [11] — we analyzed the relationship between pre-ejaculatory stimulation and ejaculation frequency. We found that males were far less likely to ejaculate again if they provided more stimulation during their first copulation (Generalized Linear Mixed Model with binomial error distribution and logit link function: n = 49, d.f. = 1; effect = −0.0109, s.e. = 0.0032, Wald = 11.48, p < 0.001). As males ejaculated prematurely in the presence of rivals, this relationship may explain why males were nearly twice as likely to ejaculate again under elevated sperm competition risk (Figure 1C); a finding that supports our second prediction. Repeated ejaculation should be highly advantageous under sperm competition [7,8,9], however, the associated reduction in copulatory stimulation could degrade other aspects of post-insemination competitiveness, as copulatory stimulation is also reported to increase sperm numbers within ejaculates, and accelerate their transport towards female oviducts [11]. Prolonged copulatory stimulation and repeated ejaculation may thus be alternative routes to post-insemination competitiveness.
Our findings complement recent reports that male mammals, including humans, respond to perceived increases in sexual competition by strategically adjusting the number or quality of sperm in their ejaculates [12]. Future studies should investigate the potential mechanistic links between copulatory stimulation and ejaculation frequency, and establish the costs and benefits of varying ejaculation thresholds in contrasting mating systems.

Waverley collapse leaves drinks trade short £40.5 million
Drinks distributor WaverleyTBS collapsed owing £64.6 million to unsecured creditors, with trade creditors facing losses of £40.5 million.
The firm entered administration on October 2, and a report filed at Companies House showing the firm's outstanding debts also states figures are not yet final, given "certain stock held by the company is subject to retention of title claims".
"In estimating the realisable value of stock approximately £10 million has been deducted to reflect this," it states.
Waverley owed HMRC £11.9 million of which £6.1 million was duty; £4.7 million in VAT and £1.06 million in PAYE and National Insurance contributions.
The biggest trade creditors listed are DiageoGB at £6.1 million; Heineken at £4.3 million; AB-InBev at £3.5 million and Bacardi Brown-Forman Brands at £2.9 million.
FE Barber, trading as Kingsland, which held a bottling contract with the firm, is listed as being owned £1.33 million. But Harpers understands this is currently subject to a legal dispute over whether stocks of bulk wine partway through production are owned by Kingsland or the administrators.
Some of the main wine companies affected include Accolade Wines (£741,768); Australian Vintage (£99,738); Cantine Francesco Minini (£404,228); E&J Gallo (£103,545); Castilla La Mancha cooperative Jesús del Perdón (£116,524); Justerini & Brooks (£179,130); Laurent Perrier (£248,948); Moet Hennessy (£652,102) and Chile's Vina Indomita (£480,771).
The report estimates that total assets available for preferential creditors should realise £9.7 million, while the book value of those assets is listed as £72.6 million.
Last month, administrator Deloitte told Harpers it was "hopeful of being in a position to pay a dividend to unsecured creditors".
The company's collapse was attributed to tough conditions in the UK on-trade, pressure on consumer spending and tightening of credit terms.

He was so much more than just a power-penis and the unapologetic (and twenty years younger!) husband of legendary big-band singer, Margaret Whiting. He was the man who put to rest my immature fears that all gay men were either obviously gay in mannerism and presentation or were faking their "straight/masculine/butch" demeanor. The larger (in every way) than life Jack Wrangler died this week and deserves not just the respectful New York Times obit, but a moment of final applause for all that he shared with us.
For those of you unfamiliar with Jack Wrangler, I am linking you to this work-safe set of photos and to a trailer for his autobiographical movie Anatomy of an Icon.
When I was a young and closeted priest, I would drive two hours to Albany to enter unobserved a movie theater located on a dreary commercial highway. I do not recall how I discovered the place but I felt that it was sufficiently distanced from my parish and that if I parked behind the building and darted inside, my dirty secret would remain intact.

A bit late but hopefully worth the wait
Good win, pretty good opponent, they play well at both ends. Everyone happy?
Or at least mildly pleased?
Oh yeah, sorry I'm late.
Life got in the way.
Best thing I've seen
Raptors get the ball with 23.8 seconds left, up 98-92, New Orleans isn't fouling and I know what's coming and so do you.
Of course they're going to dribble out the clock, no one's getting a piece of sauce-covered cardboard and I'm waiting.
There is no way in the world that the people will be upset, right?
Well, some of 'em were and if you don't think the players know, think again.
As Amir is dribbling out the clock in the far corner – which is entirely what he should have done – Hedo is standing across the court, waving his finger at him to say, "hey, respect the game and the Hornets, don't you dare put up a shot." And, to me, Turk went way, way, way up in the level of appreciation.
Of course, we're in the locker room after and there are guys busting on Amir, telling him he's going to get booed the next game for not shooting.
Their new favourite
It's 86-81 Toronto, the Hornets are rolling a bit and Toronto calls tmeout to gather itself.
What, I wonder, will they call out of the timeout because it's a crucial possession and they have to get a good shot. Whether they make it or not is entirely out of the coach's hand, it's a matter of drawing up the right play.
So they run their new favourite, the Bosh at the elbow thing. That tells me they know that's a good one and will always get them a good look.
They got a good shot but a Turkoglu miss and, after a Hornets miss, they run the same thing.
That's now rocketed to the top of the chart in the play-calling division.
How does Bosh like it?
"For me, posting up on the block, usually you have guys looking at you no matter what's happening on the weak side. At the elbow, it's a little different. You can't really double, if they do you can see the court a little bit easier and there's less help. If you get that weak side action, you can pick apart the defence a little bit."
More Hedo, more heads-up play
Little thing, late in the first half.
Turkoglu's got a little guy on him so he goes to the low block and I imagine eight out of 10 guys would either force the issue and get up a shot or back a guy down to kill any kind of movement on offence.
But no,
He waits and waits and waits for someone to move and finally, Bosh dives diagonally from the high side across the court.
Of course, two defenders dive with him so that pass isn't there and what's everyone do?
They wait another second. Turkoglu holds the ball just long enough for Amir to make a really strong and decisive move on the baseline.
Turk sees him, makes the pass, Amir finishes with a layup.
Heads up play all around.
Not particularly earth-shattering but good nonetheless.
And now …
Do you all know it's Christmas on, like, Friday? How'd that happen?
I best be getting some shopping done, no?
What would y'all like?
I'd love to show you want my guy Jimmy Smith wrote in the pages of the New Orleans Times-Picayune today but something kept him from traveling.
I'm guessing it's finances but they employed a local scribbler and here's how he played it.
So we're talking to Sonny after the game while one of us is trying to develop a story on how hard it is to stay mentally sharp through the drudgery of practice when you know it's going to take a bolt of lightning or something for you to get any minutes.
Is it?
"It is. You never know, especially with my thing, where you're going to get your shot but a guy like me, in transition it's going to come."
I will say this for Mr. Weems.
Early in the year, as I mentioned, he kind of shot it every time he touched it, which isn't unusual for a guy in his position.
But he seems to have gone away from that and is now making the right play rather than the selfish one.
A career-best five assists Sunday is a testament to that.
Oh yeah.
I mentioned in the in-game blog the other night against Jersey that I wondered if Jay would even ask a veteran like Rasho to play in such a blowout.
It's a respect thing more than anything. Why ask a veteran to go out there and eat garbage-time minutes. Maybe he'd rather get the entire day off.
Well, Jay put it this way when I asked him about it:
"If I don't put Rasho in, then CB, Amir or Andrea has to play. I think he'd rather play the fourth quarter than have to come up here and run after. And it's better for him, rather than lines and just trying to get the heart rate up."
The "up here and run after" thing refers to a team policy that anyone who doesn't play in a game has to go up to the practice gym right after and get a workout in with a member of the training staff. It's not a penalty, it's just making sure they get their heart rates up and some cardio work in just so they keep in some semblance of shape.
Little things I wonder if you knew.
Think we're in for a long day.
For a couple of weeks now, any time we mention practice and the lack of time for a really good one, Jay's been pointing to today.
Two days off before the next game, coming off an afternoon game so no one's really tired and a chance to get 'em in the gym and work on some things.
So I'm thinking two, two and a half hours, right? Which means maybe an hour of standing around the concourse waiting for them to get finished.
Luckily, there's a skatearound for the pucks so there will be some people hanging around.

NAVI MUMBAI: A 38-yearold woman strangled her daughters, aged eight and one-and-a-half years, before killing herself, sending shockwaves among residents of the posh Adhiraj Gardens Complex in Kharghar, Sector 5. Marital disputes apparently drove the woman to take the step.
Samidha Vahal was found hanging from the ceiling fan inside her fourth-floor flat, while the bodies of the two girls, Tanvi and Geet, were discovered in the bedroom late on Friday. According to the police, the bodies had been locked inside the flat for nearly two days.

2006 Chevrolet Uplander Cargo 4dr Ext Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Cargo 4dr Ext Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
After years of driving an Express van for work I was afraid the Uplander wouldnt have the space I needed. But the 2 side doors actually make it easier to get my things out and the fuel economy is way better than my old Express. It is far more comfortable and for the price I couldnt be happier. I think it's a great electrician's van. Acceleration is poor, but I'll trade for gas mileage. I save $300 a month in gas over my old Dodge 350 van.
Suspension is soft but nimble, drives like a car. Love the 2 side doors.
More storage in passenger area-business cards and such.

Explosive growth at community colleges likely to slow this fall
Michigan community colleges have seen double-digit growth and record numbers of students in the last couple years. But many community colleges expect that trend to slow down, or even stop, this year.
Muskegon Community College's Dean of Enrollment Services George Maniatessays the school has nearly 20% more students now than it did in 2006.
"The easy money for retraining, the No worker Left Behind Programs, those are all now gone. So people are pretty much on their own."
Maniates says his school is already seeing a significant decrease in the number of "adult learners" over 23 years old enrolling for summer and fall classes. He says that's mainly because there's less money for job retraining programs.
"We're also seeing a lot of families who are torn between 'well can I find a summer job – or do I go to school?"
Mike Hansen is president of Michigan's Association of Community Colleges. He expects most community colleges will see flat or slower enrollment growth this fall.
"Now you have to remember too these are increases from historic highs. In other words if you walked onto these campuses you'd say 'wow there's tons of people here. There's no spots left in the parking lot."
He expects colleges in more rural areas will be harder hit.

2011 Topps Lineage
It has worked wonders in the past, so Topps continues to try out new ways of issuing cards that are based on their past card designs. The latest is 2011 Topps Lineage, which is kind of a hodge podge of old cards designs, old card ideas, and current and past stars. All with some current favorite ideas mixed in. I wouldn't say it works especially well, but it's not terrible either.
The base card design here is not awful, but not great either. Give it a 6 out of 10. The base set checklist is also replicated featuring the 1975 Topps Mini card size and design. It's not exactly a parallel given that it has a different design and at least some photos are different between the two sets. Carlos Zambrano and Kosuke Fukudome have different photos in the 1975 Mini set than than in the base set. The 1975 Minis also feature game used parallels. These are cool and I would actually collect these as my Cubs team set if all of the Cubs players had a game used parallel. Unfortunately, Carlos Zambrano and Ryne Sandberg were left out of the game used set. And strangely, Fuke's 1975 Mini relic card reverts back to the same photo as the regular base set.
As far as the insert sets go, I especially like the 1964 Topps Giant Style game used cards. Unfortunately, there are no Cubs in this set. I don't love the 1952 Topps Style autos of current players, the fact that they had to modify the design to make the auto stickers fit makes the cards look kind of crappy in my opinion. The reprint autos which are actually on card and retain the original card design are pretty cool, though. And the Jumbo jersey cards are a nice insert that they didn't hit a home run with, but certainly didn't screw up either (seems like a theme for this issue!). Carlos Zambrano represents the Cubs in the Jumbo jersey set.
A breakdown of all of the Cubs in the set is below!
Base Set – 6 Versions - Base, Cloth Sitckers (Partial Parallel), Venezuelan (Partial Parallel), Platinum, Diamond, Canary Diamond (1/1), plus 4 colors of printing plates
#23 Carlos Zambrano

Seb - R40 OP PVP Warrior
Solo Tanking Akylios - But I hate tanking Plutonus.
New WF Idea for Rift
I feel the force of the mods, they be strong in this thread
Its pretty good to hear Rift raid back in pre-nerf HK.. I had so muchfun reading the discussions on the bosses especially the skulls of matron lol, I was in a guild with lol dps hence we had to go there back then : P .
Its bad to see good raiders leave the game, hope more guys step up.... tho cant wait to see this awesome pvp gossip atm
I have to say on the Ituziel video, the song made me laugh. The mood on the fight is supposed to be a balls to the wall dps race, but the song is so relaxed. I also really liked the songs you used for Grugonim as well.
Although, I don't really listen to dubstep too often, more of a trance person.
White Fang - 4/4 GA, 2/3 IG, 1/5 PB
Adastra@Greybriar (rogue - main)
Nuadore@Greybriar (mage)
Euli@Greybriar (cleric)
I just rewatched voodoos video and I am not sure why you are all defending their claims of it being impossible. The best part where they instantly say it is impossible and that that was a kill with 8 dead prior to enrage. GOOD TIMES!
I don't know that Voodoo as a whole believes it was as good as a kill, that was Puddin making the comment in mumble, something he also said in the chat of their stream. Seems more like one man's opinion, one which people generally seem to disagree with since it's a ridiculous claim.
I said it in the other thread, so long and thanks for all your community involvement... to both Voodoo and Maximation.
I am usually a pessimist and want to say this spells doom&gloom for the future or rift.
But i think Intrinsic gave a great positive thought, the "parents" may be leaving so it is an opportunity for the "kids" to step up. I hope this happens and that other Hardcore guilds take up the reigns of heavy community involvement. this is what i liked most about both of those guilds, they didnt just lead on raid kills, they helped the community so much with builds, strats, tips and discussions.
Cheers! Here's hoping for positive growth to take hold in the near future in place of the void left by Maximation & Voodoo.
Byriel - Guardians - The Brethren - DH 4/4 - GP 4/4 - GSB 5/5 - RoS 5/5 - RotP 4/4 - HK 11/11 - iD 1/8
Weekend HK PuG! http://brethrenrift.enjin.com/forum/...eekend-hk-runs
Batousi, 50 Warrior ~ Bomah, 50 Cleric ~ Kusanagi, 50 Rogue ~ Fuu, LvLing Mage
Thanks Voodoo and Maximation for all the effort you put forth in helping the players. Qan's list is still the best source for rogues, Veev and other strat writers, very few people realize the amount of work it takes to actually write out a detailed strat. For that, I am appreciative.
As far as doom and gloom? Nah.
Before Voodoo and Maximation there was Stay Small Nerds, Halcyon Affinity, and another guild that escapes me. There will be other guilds that come in and pick up the baton and carry it forward. What I do hope, is that they will be as professional as Max and Voodoo.
The Akylios timer wasnt "too tight" though. we hit the 15minute enrage timer at the start of phase 4 when jornaru came down. It was the same situation as laethys where the boss had 50% hp left.
I think either there was a coding mistake and laethys isnt supposed to heal back to 100% or there is some actual burn phase similar to Alsbeth past 50%.
But like others said, before ID came out we made a poll asking who was leaving on the 15th, and who was leaving when we killed maelforge. Personally I've been wanting to quit raiding for a few months now but thought i would hold out and see ID first.
After 8 years, I'm done with scheduled gaming. I'll play D3 at my own pace, and try out GW2 since it cant tempt me into raiding.
We tried to break the wall while jumping and some tried to jump higher than the wall.
Theres some mechanics that you guys seem to be missing, don't think you could have figured out every single mechanic and how it works and tried various ways to break the mechanics or use it against the boss
well will know after tomorrows hotfix if Trion just wanted drop an infinitely tall and indestructible brick wall or not :P
Terrible analogy as it in no way correlates to what you did or the boss at all. You overhealed as was stated by numerous other guilds. Your phase 1 was significantly longer than it could be. So you have no clue if you got it down to to somewhere around 25-50 that another phase/mechanic doesn't kick in. You continue to sit on your high horse and claim perfection without trying.

Ready for a new dog
Sat Mar 24, 2012 14:30
Hello All,
A few months back my best friend and dog for 13 years passed away, I was crushed and still am. As I work at home we spent so much time together that it was a loss as emotional as any I have ever had. I have always taken dogs from the shelter but a friend has a doddle and they seem to be such wonderful dogs that I am seriously thinking of getting one as my new buddy. I am not totally ready yet but may get on the list soon. Thanks for all the pics and good words from everyone, these seem to be great animals.
Life is short.....

News & Upcoming Events
Transfer Flow is Finalist for Manufacturing Innovator of the Year
Transfer Flow is pleased to announce that it is a finalist for Innovate North State's 2013 "Manufacturing Innovator of the Year". Innovate North State is the leading regional innovation catalyst organization in California's North State from Davis and Truckee in the south to the Oregon border in the North. The organization's vision is to make the North State the most economically competitive non-metropolitan region in the United States by 2017 by focusing on innovative growth companies within key targeted industry clusters, including Agriculture and Food; Manufacturing; Cleantech; Healthcare; and Information Technology. Winners will be announced December 3 on the California State University Chico campus.
Transfer Flow is an Authorized Installer of ROUSH CleanTech® Propane Autogas Systems
Transfer Flow, Inc. is now an authorized installer and warranty service center covering northern California for ROUSH CleanTech propane autogas powered systems in full-size Ford pickups, cab chassis and Econoline vans. ROUSH CleanTech develops industry-leading innovative and reliable alternative fuel powered products that provide for lower vehicle emissions and a positive return on investment. Transfer Flow, Inc. (TFI) is an active member of the Sacramento Clean Cities Coalition, a Ford QVM and OEM manufacturer supplier, and holds over 192 CARB Executive Orders. Since January of 2013 Roush announced their new EO for the 6.2 liter engine and Transfer Flow has completed several installations confirming to the customer how LPG saves them money immediately.
Bill Gaines, founder of Transfer Flow, recently travelled to Oregon to service a propane Autogas powered vehicle. "Going to Oregon to service a vehicle may seem unusual, but we realized that to overcome the public's reluctance to shift away from gasoline or diesel vehicles we have to go above and beyond the call. At the same time, we are convinced of the "right-now" benefits of propane autogas fuel for vehicles, especially in rural areas where natural gas and electric vehicles are either unavailable or just too impractical. Propane autogas can be purchased in almost every rural community at a significantly lower cost than gasoline or diesel, it keeps our energy dollars here in the US since it's domestically produced, and the new ROUSH CleanTech vehicles run cleaner and require less routine maintenance than their gasoline or diesel counterparts", stated Gaines.
In 2011, Transfer Flow, in collaboration with Alliance for Workforce Development, Inc., The Northern Rural Training And Employment Consortium (NoRTEC), and the California Employment Development Department, developed and launched Northern California's first Alternative Fuel Training Program. Over 200 attendees of the first CA Energy Commission-funded Alternative Fuels Vehicles and Technologies 3-day training class received innovative instruction from TFI and industry professionals, and hands-on training with various propane autogas systems.
Transfer Flow is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. "Transfer Flow's old-fashioned commitment to doing whatever it takes to satisfy our customers is what has kept us operating since 1983", said Gaines. Transfer Flow currently employees 85 people at its aftermarket and OEM fuel system manufacturing facility in Chico, California.
"What a Gas" - News article featured in the Chico News & Review
For a business that manufactures and sells something as mundane as gas tanks, Transfer Flow seems like a pretty fun place to work. On the company's Facebook page employees can be seen partaking in "Stomp Rocket Day," with pictures showing smiling workers—including CEO Lisa Johnson and her sister, CFO Laurie LaPant—stomping little toy rockets into the air in the parking lot of their 77,000-square-foot facility near the Chico Municipal Airport.
And, on the morning of the interview for this story, sitting in one corner of LaPant's bright and sunny office was a large stack of boxes of Girl Scout cookies waiting to be handed out to each employee later that day in honor of Valentine's Day. "We're a family company," said Johnson with a smile...

Transfer Flow had the honor of presenting U.S. Congressman Wally Herger (R-CA) the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence. The award was given in recognition of his consistent support of manufacturers and their employees across the United States. The Award was presented to Congressman Herger by Transfer Flow's CEO Lisa Johnson, at our facility in Chico, California on February 24.
Members of Congress who maintained a voting record of 70 percent or higher during the 111th Congress (2009-2010) received the Award. Congressman Herger received a 72-percent key vote rating.
"On behalf of Transfer Flow and our employees, I thank Congressman Herger for championing the causes that will help manufacturers thrive in California and across the United States," said Chair and CEO Lisa Johnson. "We're fortunate to have Wally Herger in our corner, advocating policies that will enable us to grow, create jobs, expand internationally and stay ahead of our global competition."

Charges stem from May arrest; DA says Doyle had blood alcohol level of 0.28 By Judy Harrison, Of the NEWS Staff - BANGOR - A hearing on pretrial motions stemming from the May arrest of a Maine state trooper for alleged drunken driving concluded Friday. Attorneys for Tammy J. Doyle and the Penobscot County District Attorney's office have until mid-February to file motions. A decision from Maine Superior Court Justice Jeffrey Hjelm is not expected before March. Doyle, 35, of Corinna was arrested Saturday, May 3, outside a Dexter bar while off duty and charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants, resisting arrest, failing to sign a traffic ticket and refusing to submit to a blood test. In June, she pleaded not guilty to the charges and asked for a jury trial. The trooper, now on unpaid administrative leave from her job as a K-9 handler, had a blood alcohol level of 0.28, according to Michael Roberts, deputy assistant district attorney. The legal limit is 0.08. Doyle's attorney, Leonard Sharon of Auburn, filed four motions in June seeking to suppress evidence gathered by officers at the scene, statements made by Doyle that night, and to exclude her refusal to take the breath test. Sharon said when the hearing on the motions began in November that his goal was to show that the Dexter police officer who stopped Doyle did not have probable cause to arrest her for drunken driving. He argued that when the officer said she could not leave the scene, she was in custody and should have been given a Miranda warning of her rights. The Auburn attorney has said that if the judge ruled in his client's favor, all of the evidence and Doyle's statements would have to be excluded from trial and successful prosecution of the case would be difficult. Roberts, however, said Friday that he expected the case would go forward. In addition to the arresting officer, state troopers and Piscataquis County sheriff's deputies were called to the scene and observed Doyle's behavior, he said. A trial date has not been set. |

Comment Number: | 522418-07751 |
Received: | 7/11/2006 4:33:13 PM |
Organization: | Quixtar affiliated IBO |
Commenter: | Benjamin Lawson |
State: | IL |
Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
I would like to start by saying that I have been an Independent Business Owner (IBO) for eight years. I first registered in 1998 as an Amway IBO, and then transferred my IBOship to Quixtar in 1999, and have been since. The benefits I have received from my association with this business and the other IBO's I personally work with goes well beyond the income that I have earned. I have learned about moral and ethical business practices, I have received free mentoring, and I have seen what "compassionate capitalism" really is. We help other people reach their dreams and goals, not tear them down and ridicule them. I am building my Quixtar business to create a solid financial future for myself and my family because retirement plans are no longer solid investments. While building this business, I use multiple tools to inform my prospects about Quixtar and the business opportunity I have just shared with them. I provide CD's with testimony from other IBO's, I provide forms that have different explanations about terms associated with this business, and I provide a list of websites with more facts and figures; some associated with Quixtar, and others that are third party. I always do my best to explain to every prospect that this is not a "get rich quick" plan. I explain that it will take a lot of effort to build a business that would provide a substantial income. And the factor of how long it will take to do this is dependent on how much effort they put in. I make sure they know that success of this business depends on their effort, with help from a team of other IBO's. Also, I clearly state in every presentation that the cost to get registered is approximately $250. I explain this is paid directly to Quixtar, not to myself, and that in return for the $250, they will receive their IBO number and a number of products that they can choose to keep for themselves, or try and sell. It's their choice. If an IBO then chooses not to participate, and wants a refund, they can receive their full start-up cost back. This just recently happened with an IBO I know. His prospect registered, and the next day, the prospect decided not to go ahead with the business. He contacted the Quixtar corporation, and received a full refund, no questions asked. This is all explained during my presentation to prospects. Everything has a 100% money back gaurantee for 180 days, even if a product is partially used. All of this, again, is explained during the presentation. In regards to the proposed rule, there are a few areas I would like to spicifically address. First, the list of references of at least 10 local IBO's. This rule would do nothing but hurt the IBO. First of all, the prospect could potentially register with a different IBO than the original IBO that made the contact if s/he was persuaded to by and IBO that doesn't necessarily practice ethical business. Also, not all IBO's follow the same system of building this type of business. Therefore, the prospect could receive information that is in contrast to how the contacting IBO works, thus leading to the prospect to lose interest. In my line of sponsorship, we make it a practice to introduce prospects to other IBO's that follow the same system as us so they can get multiple opinions based on the way I grow my business. The other area I would like to briefly address is the idea of required financial substantiation. First, I believe it is an invasion of my financial privacy if I'm required to show what I earn with my business. It's the same as asking someone how much they earn at their jojb. Next, it doens't really matter how much I earn, because if the prospect puts in more effort and time than me, they could earn more than me. If a prospect insists on knowing what I earn, I give them an approximate monthly amount, and explain that that income is from a business that looks like the one I have built. Use these thoughts to create a fair rule that will not hurt our businesses.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/14/13 -- North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAN)(OTCBB: WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108) - North American Nickel ("NAN") is pleased to announce that it has received the first results of metallurgical studies performed by SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS"). SGS, using QEMSCAN analysis on samples of mineralized drill core from NAN's 100% owned Maniitsoq Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project in southwest Greenland, has clearly identified the nickel mineralization as being pentlandite.
This is a positive first step for the metallurgy of Maniitsoq because pentlandite is the principle nickel mineral in the world's nickel sulphide camps.
On the completion of these metallurgical studies by SGS, NAN hopes to establish the macro parameters that will guide subsequent larger scale metallurgical testing of the multiple surface and near surface Ni, Cu, Co and PGM bearing sulphide prospects located within Maniitsoq's 75 km by 15 km Greenland Norite belt.
The QEMSCAN analysis is conducted in three stages with stage one now complete and stage two and three in progress and results expected in April.
John Pattison, North American Nickel's Chief Geologist states: "Stage one, the field stitch (FS) imagery, covers only small sections of core, but the results are very encouraging as we can now confirm medium and coarse-grained pentlandite in two of the three samples. We look forward to receiving the results of the particle mineral analysis (PMA) as they will provide us with an indication of the liberation characteristics of the sulphides. While the Maniitsoq project is at a relatively early stage, it is not too early to begin investigating the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization, as we plan for success in drilling several targets in 2013."
The three stages of the QEMSCAN analysis are:
1. Field stitch (FS) imagery of polished core samples to determine localized mineralogy and textures in two dimensions.2. Particle mineral analysis (PMA) of larger, coarse crushed core samples to determine mineralogy, grain size distribution and spatial characterization including liberation of sulphide minerals.3. Electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) for quantitative mineral chemistry to determine any solid solution including nickel in pyrrhotite and silicates.
Below are stage 1 field stitch images of polished sections made from three samples of mineralized drill core:
To view Qemscan Field Stitch Images please click on the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/NAN0314.pdf
Two are from the Imiak Hill zone and one from the Spotty Hill zone. These images are colour maps of the minerals in the polished sections. While the field of view is relatively narrow, they do show important textures and characteristics of the mineralization. For each image the total percent mass of each mineral species identified is listed in a table below the image.
Imiak Hill sample L163163 contains almost 15% pentlandite and the majority appears to be coarse to medium grained with lesser amounts occurring as exsolution flames in pyrrhotite.

I do try to tell the truth, honestly. I think there is a misunderstanding here: you think that everything written in this section compares scsh to Perl. This is not the case. This section tries to compare scsh to other scripting languages, Perl being only one of them. Other examples include sh/tcsh, Python, Ruby, etc. I think the section title is pretty explicit. I certainly do not personally think that Perl has limited application. As a matter of fact, I think that Perl, because of the massive amount of code available as libraries, can be used for more tasks than scsh. That said, I find scsh to be better designed than Perl, and by a large factor. But that's *my* opinion. >> Among other things, Scheme (and thus scsh) has serious data >> structures, not just strings like many scripting languages.

Among the measures in common use in combating conditions of threatened or actual circulatory failure, is the subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of volatile substances of a highly irritant nature. Among these so-called circulatory stimulants are ether, alcohol in the form of whisky or brandy, and camphor dissolved in ether, alcohol, or oil. The clinical use of these substances in shock and allied conditions is based, not on exact experimental observation, but on casual bedside impression and tradition.
OBJECT OF THE EXPERIMENTS As a result both of laboratory observation and clinical experience, we have for some time held the opinion that the effects of the injection of volatile irritants were due, not to a direct stimulation of the circulation, but to a reflex action arising from intense irritation of sensory nerve endings. That intense irritation or stimulation of a sensory nerve may lead to a reflex rise in blood

Russian lawmaker seeks to ban US dollar, predicts 2017 collapse
Edited time: November 15, 2013 11:39
RIA Novosti / Mikhail Mordasov
To protect Russians against the "collapsing US debt pyramid", a Russian legislator has filed a draft bill to ban circulation of the currency in Russia.
Once a Moscow mayoral hopeful, Mikhail Degtyarev, 32, likens the US dollar to a worldwide ponzi scheme which he says is scheduled to end in 2017.
"If US national debt continues to grow at its current rate, the dollar system will collapse in 2017," the submitted draft legislation says.
"In light of this, the fact that confidence in the US dollar is growing among Russian citizens is extremely dangerous," Degtyarev wrote in his explanatory note attached to the bill.
The bill would impose a ban on dollars within a year of its passage, and any private citizen holding accounts in dollars would either need to spend the money or convert it to another currency. There is no proposed ban on the euro, British pound, yen, or yuan.
If one doesn't exchange or transfer dollars within a year, the dollars will be seized by officials, and reimbursed in rubles within 30 calendar days.
Under the proposed legislation, Russians would still be able to use dollars abroad and have foreign bank accounts, as well as buy goods on the Internet in dollars.
The Russian government, Central Bank, Foreign Ministry, Federal Treasury, Federal Security Service, and other state branches would be exempt from the law.
To protect Russian nationals, Degtyarev proposes to end dollar transactions and deposits at Russian banks, which would give rise to the ruble, and end dependence on the world's dominant currency.
Part of the bill aims to restore the prestige of the ruble, which has weakened as the Russian economy battles inflation and slow growth.
Raising the prestige of the ruble by nixing foreign currency isn't a novel idea- it was practiced during the Soviet Union when holding foreign currencies was illegal. A similar 'anti-dollar' proposal was filed by Duma deputies in 2003, but completely flopped.
Russian lawmaker wants to outlaw U.S. dollar, calls it a Ponzi scheme
MOSCOW — Predicting the imminent collapse of the U.S. dollar, a Russian lawmaker submitted a bill to his country's parliament Wednesday that would ban the use or possession of the American currency.
Mikhail Degtyarev, the lawmaker who proposed the bill, compared the dollar to a Ponzi scheme. He warned that the government would have to bail out Russians holding the U.S. currency if it collapses.
"If the U.S. national debt continues to grow, the collapse of the dollar system will take place in 2017," said Mr. Degtyarev, a member of the nationalist Liberal Democrat Party who lost in Moscow's recent mayoral election.
"The countries that will suffer the most will be those that have failed to wean themselves off their dependence on the dollar in time. In light of this, the fact that confidence in the dollar is growing among Russian citizens is extremely dangerous."

Russian lawmakers are making moves to ban the Dollar to protect Russians from what they are calling a SCHEDULED COLLAPSE IN 2017!

LA rockers Guns 'n Roses often sang of a Cold November Rain, but here in the rock and roll capitol the talk is of the Lead Man's hot November reign, a familiar tune he plays on the man, that rockets up the charts each and every fall in the 440.
The first full football weekend of November 2009 saw that trend continue as the Lead Man knocked down 3 of 4 wagers as he gears up for his per usual late autumn run. He had an easy win with Arkansas, NC State covered by the hook and the Carolina/New Orleans tilt went under the total, as LP informed you it would. The lone blemish saw Tulane finally getting Lead Man, with a cover against UTEP.
A couple of last weekend's games left the Lead Man with a few thoughts that he'll share along with some other observations concerning the 2009 football season to date.
It looks to LP that Lerner has decided to give it one more shot instead of selling, with that shot being under the watchful eye of the league office. It is going to be no surprise that the names being bandied about will be mostly good "league men" such as Ernie Accorsi, because of the source of the recommendations. We'll see how this shakes out, but LP would prefer ultimately that it shakes out like the Pats situation did - with new ownership.
To the picks:
Let's start in the professional ranks as the New Orleans Saints travel to the Edward Jones dome to take on the Rams. May as well call the place the Edgar Jones dome as this is about the biggest slam dunk on the board this week. Yes the Rams have Stephen Jackson against a poor rush defense. Yes they are coming off the bye week. Still not enough. The Saints are averaging almost 40 points a game, the Rams have scored 77 ALL YEAR. The Saints are the third undefeated team to roll into the dome this season and the first two outscored the Rams 80-16. The Saints have had some turnover issues lately, but the Rams, owners of only 9 takeaways on the season, are not likely to take advantage. So the Saints will march in, and you will march to the window.
New Orleans -13.5
If you are a real man, like the Lead Man, you always look forward to seeing a little beaver. Well, players, you can't strike out Saturday night if you tune into the Oregon State/Washington tilt. The Huskies travel to Corvallis to take on the Beavers, who are starting to roll and are coming off an upset win over Cal last weekend. Washington has not covered the number against Oregon State in their last 5 meetings. Saturday should make it six. Jake Locker comes in with the hype, but Beaver QB Sean Canfield can play. He'll look to take advantage of a Washington defense that is really banged up, especially at linebacker, and one that is poor against the pass. The Beavers average 30 a game, and Washington gives up that many. Too many points for the Huskies to stay in the game. Look for the Beavers to win this damn game.
Oregon State -12
Lead Man was going to recommend Michigan State at the opening line of +2 against Purdue, but action has swung it all the way to -4 in some places. At that number the Leadquarters is forced to declare this game Unleaded.
The Boston College Eagles travel to Scott Stadium to tangle with the Virginia Cavaliers. Boston College's road struggles will be helped by the fact that they up against a squad that plays poorly at home. The Leadquarters feels that the BC defense is going to make it very tough for the Cavaliers to put many points on the board, especially with some key skill position players not at 100%. Virginia has moved the ball the last two games. However, don't let the play against poor defenses fool you. Virginia may be getting a little more credit than they deserve against this talented BC defense because of those last two tilts. The winner of this game will be the one who is able to control it on the ground. That will be the Eagles.
