Whether 2010 will be a year when the economic recovery begins to take root could depend on what happens in the Treasury complex and the outlook for interest rates. The global economic crisis kept interest rates frozen near zero throughout 2009. In a November speech before the Economic Club of New York, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reiterated the Fed's stance that economic conditions would warrant low levels of the Fed funds rate "for an extended period." The Fed's actions likely will weigh on the dollar and the economy at large in 2010.
Analysts expect Treasury yields, which are relatively low, to climb a bit in 2010. "I can't imagine [Treasury yields] moving much lower. Until the Federal Reserve implements policy action, these rates will be reflective of supply and demand for safe assets," says Mike Kimbarovsky, principal, Advocate Asset Management. "[Three-month Libor] would be the first to react to any uncertainty or volatility [in the market]. It will maintain a low level until there's uncertainty, and then it'll spike."
Kim Rupert, managing director for fixed income at Action Economics, expects the 30-year to hold stable until the middle of 2010, then to climb 30 to 50 basis points by the end of the year. She expects the 10-year yield to hit 3.75% by the middle of next year and rise to 4% by the end. "In early 2010, we have the five-year at about 2.25% and climbing to just over 3% by the end of the year. The two-year, we've got climbing to 1% early next year and hitting 2.25% by year end. Three-month Libor will stay at 25 basis points into the middle of next year and maybe rise to 1% by the end of the year," she adds (see "Yielding little" ).
Carley Garner, analyst and trader at DeCarley Trading, expects the 10-year note futures to trade in the mid-120s in 2010 (see "Talking ten," page 25), putting the yield at 2.5%. "On the 30-year bond, we could see the low-130s by some point in the first quarter. Two-year notes don't have a lot of room to move on the upside. I don't expect the yield to get above 1% until the second quarter of 2010," she says. Richard Regan, founder of Protradingcourse.com, expects to see all Treasury products rally with yields dropping significantly though the first half of 2010.
"The bond market is far smarter than the Fed," says Dave Floyd, head of FX research and trading at Aspen Trading Group. "The people who play in the bond market are far more sensitive to what's going on economically. The bond market's a much better barometer for what's coming in terms of interest rates than Fed forecasts."
But exactly when the Fed will raise interest rates seems difficult to predict. Some say it will happen in mid to late 2010, some say not until 2011. The Fed fund futures traded at the Chicago Board of Trade show virtually no movement until the second half of 2010 (see "Traders expect no action," page 26). Kimbarovsky expects the Fed to continue to withdraw credit facilities rather than raise the Fed funds rate. "Before [the Fed does] anything on the interest rate side [they'll] withdraw some of the credit facilities they've extended. They decreased the maturity of the discount window from 90 days to 28 days. It's like a subtle first step to gauge market sentiment without having to raise interest rates," he says.
Garner doesn't see rates going up until 2011. "They might adjust rates at the discount window before they touch the Fed funds. Throughout 2009 we've seen record-breaking auctions. Simply slowing down the issuance of Treasuries and pulling some of the cash out of the market, stop buying GSEs and long-term Treasuries, will be their first step towards getting rates to a more realistic level," she says.
"It really depends on how retail sales go into December and January," Regan says. "[As soon as] the Fed gets an opportunity, they're going to raise rates, but they can't do it if retail sales and unemployment still look bad."
Although other central banks, such as Australia, have begun to raise interest rates, this doesn't seem to be putting pressure on the United States to follow suit. The one central bank with the most influence over U.S. interest rate policy is the European Central Bank (ECB). Most analysts expect the ECB to raise interest rates before the United States does. "In the U.S., there's much more political pressure on the Federal Reserve. The policy actions from the Great Depression were abrupt and what the current Administration wants to do is go the other way, which is least abrupt," Kimbarovsky says. Meanwhile, he expects the UK to delay rate hikes and test the waters by reducing
credit facilities.
"More of the ECB is talking about exit strategies than the Fed is right now," Rupert says.
Garner expects the Fed to coordinate their rate hikes with the central banks of Europe. "If the U.S. makes a step before the European Union, the currency markets are going to go wild and that's going to throw a wrench in the recovery," she says.
Regan agrees. "The U.S. should be more concerned about raising rates at the same time as the ECB rather than Australia. I would like to see Europe and the U.S. raise rates at the same time, which would help the dollar," he says.
Rupert expects Japan to raise rates in late 2010. "The political winds have changed in Japan where the new government is looking to introduce a number of stimulus programs and it's not obvious that those are going to take hold fully. It's going to hurt the debt outlook for Japan and that might start to increase interest rates in Japan, which would be a further restraint on growth," she says.
One country that will have an influence over the interest rate environment is China, the largest owner of U.S. debt, holding more than $798 billion in U.S. Treasuries as of September 2009. Further, interest rates have been held down in large part because of Chinese demand for Treasuries.
Floyd says that by simply buying bonds, China is keeping interest rates low. "At some point, they're going to get tired of holding our debt, which pays nothing," he says.
Regan agrees that China is concerned about the sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy. "China is a concerned creditor. They've loaned us so much money and they're worried that we're spending it recklessly. As far as the dollar goes, China's going to be careful they make sure they fix their yuan to our dollar so that they don't price their imports out of the market. As long as China continues to fix their currency to the dollar, it'll be fine."
Garner says, "China's been complaining about the dollar and they're concerned about the stability of the U.S. economy, yet they continue to show up on auction day and buy Treasuries. Nothing's going to change in the near term. I would expect China to continue to be a big buyer of Treasuries, at least for the first two quarters of next year, and that should keep a floor
under Treasuries."
But Rupert says that China has started to see some cracks in its own growth and its central bank may start to pull out some of the stimulus in the system or tighten policy. "There's some fears that if China actively starts to tame its growth rate, that would spill over into the rest of the world and [slow] the recovery," she says.
As has been the story throughout 2009, global interest rate policy will weigh on the dollar in 2010. The Fed's announcement in its November statement that it would keep interest rates low for an extended period weighed further on the dollar.
"Interest rate differentials have played a major component on the dollar's weakness or the euro's strength. The Fed [has a] dovish outlook relative to other central banks that are starting to talk exit strategies. With the Fed's policies lagging other central banks, it looks like the dollar could remain on weaker footing into early or mid-2010," Rupert says.
Kimbarovsky says we've reached a bottom for the dollar that's supported by the balance of trade and deficit spending across the world. "The trajectory for the dollar is stagnation, or stronger, because you see the inklings of Federal Reserve action to withdraw credit facilities," he says. "The dollar's at a weak enough base, which means dollar-linked equity markets are in for a tough next few quarters."
Floyd is bullish the dollar. "Since markets are forward-looking, markets will begin to discount any type of rate raising policy, but I would not short the dollar at current levels," he says, adding that the risk-reward is much more in favor of those who want to start building a long position in the dollar over the next year.
Regan says although the dollar is low, the Fed thinks it's got a lot of room to go before it gets dangerously low. "If we see the S&P get down around 1,000, we'd see a nice rally in the dollar. The two key components that can get the dollar to go up are a sell-off in the stock market and an increase in interest rates."
Rupert says government policy continues to keep the dollar weak. "Fears that the government won't be able to rein in its budget deficit are a big negative for the dollar. If the Fed doesn't start to enunciate an exit strategy or if it continues to lag the other central banks, that will also leave the dollar on heavy footing," she says.
Inflation as it's tied to the interest rate picture could be a concern over the next few years. "The economy's quite fragile, so nobody wants to see higher rates, but at the same time people are concerned that if you keep them too low for too long, you could really stoke [inflation]" over the next three to five years,
Floyd says.
Treasury and stock markets are likely to react negatively when interest rates do increase. But the picture's not all negative, Rupert says. "At first, [the Treasury market] will sell off. It'll be a knee-jerk reaction lower. It will have a bearish impact initially but eventually will ameliorate some of the fears of the inflation vigilantes," she says.
Regan expects the stock market to sell off if interest rates go up. "We'll see stocks rally until interest rates come up. Once the Fed starts increasing rates, you can expect a series of increases and we'll see the stocks sell off."
Garner says the equity markets have built in most of the benefits we're getting from low interest rates. "Most of what the market's trading off of is that interest rates are incredibly low and the dollar is weak. Bonds are pricing in the worst of everything and stocks are pricing in the best. If the stock market gets wind of the Fed thinking of raising rates in the next year, it's going to have a downside reaction," she says.
We're likely headed for a larger economic recovery in 2010, but that recovery could happen at an incredibly slow pace.
"We're headed for a [recovery], but it's going to be tepid at best. It's going to be reminiscent of the Japanese recovery over the last 15 years. It's going to be in fits and starts and very slow and uninspiring," Floyd says.
Garner says we're stabilizing. "The numbers are improving, but we have so far to go. The jobs numbers are still horrible, unemployment is getting worse. Home sales are picking up, but that's because of deep discounts, not necessarily because of demand. Government intervention and subsidies are artificially pumping up the economy. A true recovery [won't] be seen until much later [in 2010]."
Rupert attributes the slow, grudging pace of recovery to the uncertainty surrounding the Obama Administration's economic policies. "The political backdrop is very negative for the economy and the administration's continued bashing of the financial sector and the business sector is one of the restraints on the labor market right now — the uncertainty with respect to the administration's goals."
The uncertainty of the economic environment means that traders should stay on top of news coming from the Fed and also be flexible in their
trading strategies.
"Monitor what's coming out of Capitol Hill and the Administration. [Be aware] of the Fed outlook and when they start to change their tune to more of an exit strategy and start to suggest risks are more balanced," Rupert says.
The Fed has been stubbornly sticking to its current policy due to the risks in the market and the weakness of the recovery — if you can even call it that — but the huge debt level gives some measure of control to our creditors who may seek a better return on what is increasingly looking like a risky investment.

Background/aims To review the indications and types of keratoplasty performed in the West of Scotland between 2001 and 2010.
Methods A retrospective analysis of the histopathological diagnoses of all corneal buttons submitted to the regional Ocular Pathology Laboratory (Glasgow, UK) between January 2001 and December 2010 was performed.
Results Between 2001 and 2010, a total of 921 keratoplasties were performed in the West of Scotland. These included 646 (70.1%) penetrating keratoplasties and 275 (29.9%) lamellar keratoplasties (LK). Keratoconus (n=264, 28.7%) was the leading indication for keratoplasty, followed by graft failure (n=177, 19.2%), Fuch's endothelial dystrophy (n=124, 13.5%), keratitis (n=106, 11.5%), pseudophakic/aphakic bullous keratopathy (n=88, 9.6%), endothelial failure (n=67, 7.3%), non-Fuch's corneal dystrophies (n=21, 2.3%), trauma (n=19, 2.0%), autoimmune/inflammatory diseases (n=16, 1.7%) and others (n=39, 4.2%). A significant increase in the proportion of LK over penetrating keratoplasty was observed during this 10-year period: from 14.1% LK (2001–2005) to 40.4% LK (χ2=71.78, p value<0.001).
Conclusion Keratoconus was the leading indication for keratoplasty in the West of Scotland. Both anterior LK and endothelial keratoplasty seemed to show an emerging trend as the procedures of choice for dealing with anterior and posterior corneal pathologies, respectively.

Newton dentist fined by Iowa Dental Board, placed on probation
Benson refutes allegations; fighting in court deemed too costly
The Iowa Dental Board has fined a Newton dentist for illegally delegating certain procedures to an unauthorized assistant, placing his license in a probationary status for two years, according to documents provided Wednesday to the Daily News.
Dr. Robert Benson, who operates a dental practice on the courthouse square in Newton, was accused in September of 2011 of allowing a dental assistant to perform duties which were beyond the "legal scope of practice." Section 20.3(2)e of the Iowa Code outlines the limitations on services provided by dental assistants.
Specifically, with regard to allegations against Benson, the code prohibits assistants from rendering the "removal of any plaque, stain, or hard natural or synthetic material except by toothbrush, floss or rubber cup coronal polish, or removal of any calculus." Agents of the Iowa Dental Board inspected Benson's practice, at which time he told investigators his dental assistant had not performed such procedures.

Anthropology Chair and Professor Daniel M. Varisco Challenges Edward Said in "Reading Orientalism: Said And The Unsaid"
(University of Washington Press)
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY: Hofstra University Chair and Professor of Anthropology Daniel Martin Varisco recently published Reading Orientalism: Said And The Unsaid (University of Washington Press), a critical study of the late and controversial intellectual Edward Said, whose 1978 book Orientalism argued that a dominant discourse of West over East has warped virtually all past European and American representation of the Near East.Reading Orientalism is of particular interest to scholars of Middle East studies, anthropology, history, cultural studies, post-colonial studies and literary studies. Literary scholar Walter G. Andrews of the University of Washington calls the work "a comprehensive, critical overview of nearly everything that has been said on the topic." Historian and author Robert Irwin notes in a positive review that the book "makes for exhilarating reading."
Dr. Varisco, drawing on the extensive discussion of Edward Said's work in more than 600 bibliographic entries, presents an intellectual history of the debates that Said's work sparked in several disciplines, including its reception among Arab and European scholars.
While he is critical of the historical flaws and rhetorical license in Said's Orientalism, Dr. Varisco also analyzes the productive commentary that Said's book engendered in Oriental studies, literary and cultural studies, feminist scholarship, history, political science and anthropology. The end result is a companion volume to Said's seminal Orientalism and the vast research it inspired. Rather than contribute to dueling essentialisms, Dr. Varisco provides a path to move beyond the binary of East versus West and the polemics of blame.
In addition to teaching at Hofstra, Dr. Varisco is the author of Islam Obscured: The Rhetoric of Anthropological Representation (Palgrave, 2005), online editor of CyberOrient and co-editor of Contemporary Islam.
Reading Orientalism: Said And The Unsaid was featured in the May 7, 2008, online edition of the
Times Literary Supplement. To read that review visit http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/the_tls/article3885948.ece

Most banks will close early on Christmas Eve
If you need some cash or want to cash a check before Christmas, you better plan ahead now.
Most banks close early Friday, which is Christmas Eve.
We spoke with Northwestern Bank in Gaylord.
They close at one Friday afternoon, and say early afternoon is typically when you'll see other banks closing their doors.
Thanks to new technology though, there is another way you can access your money and take care of those last minute transactions.
"In the past, they weren't able to do telephone banking, or bank by phone, or online banking, where they can do transfers up to 10 at night on same-day transactions," said Karen McCaffrey, Northwestern Bank Branch Manager in Gaylord.
To find out the exact hours of your bank, you should call ahead.

My 2nd bottle is opened!

My 2nd bottle is opened!
My first ever whisk(e?)y experience was JW Black Label on rocks. I had never had scotch whisky before and my only other whiskey experience was straight shots of some Tennessee whiskies or mixed. To my knowledge that's all "drinking" really had to offer. I loved my whiskey.
This experience drove me to purchase a Glenmorangie sample box and I immediately fell in love with the far superior Scotch Whisky. I haven't looked back. Glenmorange Quinta Ruban was my first purchase and I've savored every sip. I've just loved it. Every day I look at the bottle and see how much less there is I die a little inside.
When I first cracked open the Quinta Ruban I only knew that it was liquid incredible. I did research and knew I should be noting chocolate, orange and mint. I wasn't. This made me sad. By the end of the bottle (I've still got a wee bit left!) I can no proudly say I have picked out all 3 flavors (though it took comparison to note the mint). I seem to only get them one at a time though. It's like they rotate for every glass I have.
I was recommended the Macallan 12 and the Balvenie 12. I chose the Macallan because the Belvanie maturation process was too similar to the Glenmorangie Lasanta, which I am already familiar with, and wanted to taste something a little different.
The dried fruits just about knocked my socks off the second I pulled the cork for the first time. I then started to note the vanilla and wood smoke. I can appreciate the flavor, but sadly do not like it. I was happy however that the nose was so vastly different from the Quinta Ruban. I ran and grabbed the bottle just to smell it. There was the mint I had been missing! It was so strong in comparison I couldn't believe I missed it. I think I was smelling the mint and assuming it was just the bite of the alcohol. But wow!
So, I've now got a bottle of Macallan 12 and Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. The QR is my definite favorite of the two, and I'm not sure what I'll be doing with the Macallan. I may use it to experiment with my aromatic pipe tobaccos to see if I like the combination, but I certainly don't see myself enjoying it on a daily basis. My wife wasn't a huge fan either. I am going to say that the strong fruity flavors are what are lessening my enjoyment.
I have an increased love for my Quinta Ruban, however, and can't wait to get my hands on a bottle of Nectar D'Or (which my liquor store does not have!!!).
What would you guys recommend that is more dark in flavor and not so fruity? I'm ok with sweet, I just don't want to be drinking liquid trail mix. And again, to reiterate, I do greatly appreciate this whisky and it's flavors, but it's just not for me

New York Chateau, Estate of the Day
Yesterday's estate was a modern version of a French chateau. Today's version is the real deal, a 17th century Chateau which was shipped to the United States in the 1920's. It now sits on 6.7 acres in Upper Brookville, NY. The listing says that the seven-bedroom chateau which measures 6,800 square feet has been renovated for today's living, but we'll have to take their word for it since there aren't any interior pics. The outside is pretty fantastic though with all sorts of antique stone details.
The NY Times did a story on this home when it was listed at $6.995 million last year. it turns out that the home is from the village of Les Petits Thons in the Vosges area of France, about 120 miles from Dijon. Ashbel H. Barney, part of an old New York family, shipped an entire wing of the Château des Thons, to New York. Rumor has it that this is where Voltaire carried out his affair with Madame de Chatelet but that turns out to be a myth. If the home looks familiar you might have seen it in the background of ads advertising various products. It is now listed at $5.995 million.

Macia Villa Blanca Granada Guest Reviews (1)
We had rooms at the back side of the motorway so very quiet. Conveniently located to Granada just 15 min by car. Outdoor parking allright. Friendly staff at the reception.

Kanye West's Yeezus tour features 27-song setlist, giant mountain, Jesus Christ look-alike
Kanye West kicked off his Yeezus world tour in Seattle on Saturday night, According to reports on Twitter and Kanye To The, he played a 27-song, two-hour set which encompassed material from his entire discography. Included were the live debuts of Yeezus tracks "Hold My Liquor, "I'm In It", and "Guilt Trip", in addition to "Street Lights" from 808s and Heartbreak. He closed his show with the dynamic one-two-three-four punch of "Jesus Walks" into "Flashing Lights" into "All of the Lights" into "Bound 2″.
The stage design included a giant mountain on which Kanye rapped from. An equally massive video screen above the mountain flashed elaborate visuals, including animations of the rapper. He was frequently joined by a group of backing dancers, and at one point, a Jesus Christ look-alike also took the stage alongside Yeezus.
It worth noting that the show began two hours later, reportedly due to an equipment truck being stolen. Kendrick Lamar served as opener and performed a nine-song set.

Comprehensive sex ed may cut teen pregnancies
Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:22pm EDT
By Amy Norton
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Comprehensive sex education that includes discussion of birth control may help reduce teen pregnancies, while abstinence-only programs seem to fall short, the results of a U.S. survey suggest.
Using data from a 2002 national survey, researchers found that among more than 1,700 unmarried, heterosexual teens between 15 and 19 years old, those who'd received comprehensive sex ed in school were 60 percent less likely to have been pregnant or gotten someone pregnant than teens who'd had no formal sex education.
Meanwhile, there was no clear benefit from abstinence-only education in preventing pregnancy or delaying sexual intercourse, the researchers report in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
The study found that teens who'd been through abstinence-only programs were less likely than those who'd received no sex ed to have been pregnant. However, the difference was not significant in statistical terms, which means the finding could have been due to chance.
In addition, there was no evidence that comprehensive sex education increased the likelihood of teen sex or boosted rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) -- a concern of people who oppose teaching birth control in schools.
While comprehensive sex ed did not clearly reduce the STD risk, there was a modest, but statistically insignificant reduced risk of engaging in sex. The abstinence-only approach had no effect on either factor, the researchers found.
"The bottom line is that there is strong evidence that comprehensive sex education is more effective than abstinence-only education at preventing teen pregnancies," said lead researcher Pamela K. Kohler, of the Center for AIDS and STD at the University of Washington in Seattle.
She told Reuters Health the study "also solidly debunks the myth that teens who learn about birth control are more likely to have sex."
Currently, the federal government champions the abstinence-only approach, giving around $170 million each year to states and community groups to teach kids to say no to sex. This funding precludes mention of birth control and condoms, unless it is to emphasize their failure rates.
Critics have long pointed out that studies have failed to show that abstinence-only education delays sex or lowers rates of teen pregnancy.
The current study is the first to compare the effects of comprehensive sex ed and abstinence-only education in a national survey, Kohler noted.
Of the teens in the study, two thirds said they had received comprehensive sex education, while about one quarter had had abstinence-only courses. Just under 10 percent said they'd received no formal sex education.
There is now a body of evidence showing that the comprehensive approach may cut the odds of teen pregnancy, without increasing the likelihood of teens having sex, according to Kohler.
However, she added, "there seems to be a gap between scientific evidence and policy change."

Anyone know what the rate of teen pregnancy and STD's was before sex ed began being introduced back in the early 60's?
Be interesting to see how well it has worked at reducing these problems so far.

Whats wrong with teen pregnancies? That is how families happen.
Government should stay out of the sex-ed business. All they're doing is over sexualizing the young children so they are addicted and can't keep a family. Sex-ed is probably one reason for the high divorce rates.

I have to diagree and agree with you. While it is not the governments right to teach our children about sex, there is alot wrong with teen pregnancy. I for one do not want my daughter to come to me at the age of 12 or 13 and say she is pregnant. Not only would she be unable to care for the child, it would also ruin any future she had. Proper knowledge about sex should be taught by parents, and while abstinance is not the best course of action, proper education is. I wouldn't mind so much that my daughter was having sex, becuase there is nothing you can do to stop that, but that she is thinking, and being safe. Once again more people putting off thier responsibility as a parent to the government officials and school systems.

Tony Kushner Suggests Biden 'Flop' on Same Sex Marriage Orchestrated by White House
By Nicole Brydson
Playwright Tony Kushner sat down with Democracy Now's Amy Goodman to discuss Joe Biden's comments which led to President Obama expressing support for same-sex marriage. But the Tony Award winning Tony says don't believe the hype that this seeming flop wasn't orchestrated somehow to test the national waters on the issue of gay marriage during an election season.

Vending Apple Slices
Now that you know how great this vending business really is they come out with something different that works happens to work really well. What I mean by works is the fact that society is changing. Society is saying that we should not have obese children and that we should help them get out and get active after school. A lot of vending machine operators are asked to take their snack vending machines out of the schools because soda is bad for kids and the snacks are not healthy choices. Not only are vending machine operators using this to their advantage they are capitalizing on this market segment.
The market is for fresh and healthy items to be vended out of their machines. In the example above the vending operator dedicates his machine to fresh cut apples. What a wonderful idea right? The trick is all about looking at your machine or the products you are offering differently. Instead of removing the snack machine from the school Bob was able to keep his Snack machine route by offering fresh and health products.
Now if you think fresh and healthy products are only selling out in schools you are wrong. Broaden your horizons and think about popular fitness gyms or yoga studios. Sliced apples may work for you however so my Red bulls, Gatorade and Power Bars.
Something I truly love about vending machines is trying to figure out what will actually sell in a location and think about unique areas that do not currently have vending machines in them. The ole, "hit em were they aint" routine.
The opportunities for running a coin operating business are really endless. We as operators just have to be willing to really put some thought into what items will sell and what locations will we can sell those items.

IBM and Intel have paid developers who do nothing but code audits for the Linux Foundation, now the better question is whether they can be bribed. The BSDs just lack enough developers to do real audits, that's why OS X is a proprietary fork and not built off of FreeBSD a la Android and Linux. The NSA and FBI allegedly bribed the developers of OpenBSD years ago, so if they went after an OS that small, you can bet they want a backdoor in Linux. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12...ackdoor_claim/

On the 14th & 15th March 2002 a group of SHAA Hoteliers dug out and planted a garden at Shanklin Station. We built a fence that would enable us to reach the garden to weed regularly. All the plants and timber was donated by local island companies and to commemorate this, a large plaque was attached to the fence. SHAA Chairman at the time was Les Burrows who along with the Committee at the time organised the gardening weekend. We found a local man to weed once a week for us and we felt that we had achieved something worthwhile.
Recently though, the garden was looking very tired and overgrown but still bore the SHAA name. The committee was looking for a solution when Lesley Hampshire from the Green Towns' Shanklin approached SHAA to invest some money and time into re-planting the garden. This was greatly appreciated by the Committee and we donated £50.00 to help with the planting. Having been donated a boat, which is now planted out and is situated to one side of the garden they have achieved a lot in a small time. Lesley has also undertaken to keep up with the weeding eventhough it is now more difficult to obtain entry into the gardens as permission is always needed. The garden now is a vast improvement and if anyone has a free ten minutes just pop in and have a look.

Pros: This Receiver has been very functional. I have been very pleased with it. It hasn't had any problems since I have owned it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new receiver. Cons: I haven't had anything to say bad about this product. Did you find this review helpful? |
Died exactly after 1 year.Pros: Good Sound..when it worked..lacking in bass VS my old reciever Cons: Died after 1 yr exactly..now to try yamaha warranty service.. Did you find this review helpful? |
Failed in First 6 monthsPros: Syncs Stereo audio to tv. Has great sound quality and has some banana plug jacks. Cons: Needs complete set of banana plug jacks. Makes no sense to me why all outputs aren't available as banana plug jacks. Called Yamaha digital and analog signal conversion. I was told it cannot change digital input to analog so if you are using usb port on front you cannot send audio out the back via rca cables. Died within 6 months. Will Not Power Up At All. Looked thru vents and can see that the fuse is good. Other Thoughts: I liked it overall until it failed to power on for me. If they are going to fail in such a short amount of time then they aren't worth buying in my opinion. Paired it to a HTD surround sound system with externally powered subwoofer. Did sound amazing when it worked. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fantastic, almost perfectPros: Fantastic budget receiver with HDMI pass through. Cons: Unfortunately I discovered a few things that are less than perfect, but overall it is great. Did you find this review helpful? |
Love itPros: Lots of inputs Cons: Does not upconvert to HDMI must use same connection all the way through Other Thoughts: Great value. Hard to find a receiver with these features at this price. Has 4 digital inputs where most receivers now have only two. Great advantage if you have older components you still use. Did you find this review helpful? |
After A YearPros: Expense to feature ratio is pretty good Cons: I've seen this issue on at least one other review here, so it must be a common issue with this receiver. The receiver stops recognizing HDMI Input and requires reset back to factory defaults, reboot and then you're back in business. Other Thoughts: I won't purchase another Yamaha product due to this frustration. Plus, this occurred for the first time one month after my year warranty expired. First Sony, now this...who should I try next? Did you find this review helpful? |
perfectPros: great for a small home theater, 3D pass-through does work Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Value featuresPros: Like the 2nd optical AV input. Using that to make use of playing mp3's out of a onboard realtek SC on compu.. That way I can listen to one card for my 2 channel dedicated music and If I want to switch it up I can run it on the Polk entertainment surrounds just to change it up. Fun switching between them with software controls. It's all about control really. Cons: Nothing really so far considering the price was value/quality does what I wanted it to do. Had another yam little bitty speakers and passive sub for years. this is way better!! Thank you yamaha and newegg.. Other Thoughts: 25 foot toslink lol.. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good receiver... once you work all the kinks out.Pros: - Awesome sound. This totally beats the stuffing out of my 10+ year old Kenwood receiver. Cons: - I was frustrated with this receiver at first... I had my Panasonic Blu-Ray player and my Tivo Premiere connected via HDMI at first and everything seemed to be going well. Other Thoughts: None so far. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Love it, but...Pros: Plenty of connections and configurations. Excellent sound quality, connected to Yamaha NS-SP1800BL 5.1 speakers. Plenty of bass, highs, etc. Many DSP options. Tuner works very well even in my basement "Man Cave". iPod navigation is above average, however I prefer to use a PC connected via HDMI for iTunes. Cons: Legacy components connected thru component out connections must use the component in on the TV. This can make switching between devices lengthy. When watching non-HD channels the screen goes blank when accessing on-screen menus and changing volume. This may be due to my TV, but I can't verify this. Other Thoughts: Great entry level receiver. A lot of bang for the buck. Did you find this review helpful? |

A 46 year-old man called Miikka spotted a simple spelling mistake. A group of scientists had misspelled his name as Mika. He told them as much, and they responded with delight. Why? It was the clearest evidence yet that Miikka, who had been blind for many years, might be able to see again.
This miracle is thanks to a pioneering chip implanted in his retina. Just as cochlear implants have restored hearing to people once considered deaf, devices like this are being developed that can restore sight to the blind.
Miikka suffers from a particular form of blindness called retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited disease that gradually destroys the light-detecting cells of the retina. As the cells die, a person's field of view begins to collapse from the edges. Miikka's case was so advanced that he could only sense the direction of a bright light, and he needed a cane to get around.
That changed when German scientists led by Eberhart Zrenner implanted the tiny chip in his retina. The chip consists of 1,500 light-detecting electrodes, which stand in for the retina's own degenerated sensors by producing an electric current whenever light falls upon them. In early trials, this was enough to restore vision at a low resolution – enough to recognise objects and read large letters. Miikka has been one of their best success so far – he could not only see spelling errors, he was also able to recognise cutlery and a mug on a table, he could read a clock face and he could even distinguish seven different shades of grey.
Zrenner's chip, produced by Retina Implant AG, is one of several "retinal prostheses" in development. So far, only one has been approved for use in Europe: the Argus II implant by California-based company, Second Sight. Unlike the device Miikka received, the Argus II detects light with an external camera mounted on a pair of glasses, and it uses just 16 electrodes rather than 1,500.
The two implants might look different, but the challenges in creating them are the same. Developing these implants meant years of animal experiments to understand how much current you need to produce the sensation of light. It meant creating surgical techniques for cutting a flap in the eye and attaching the devices in the space beneath the retina. It meant using "biocompatible" materials that will not send the immune system into intruder alert mode, and that can be sterilised without damaging the electronics.
And it meant protecting the delicate chip from any eye-related wear and tear. "The eye is a salty warm environment. It's very corrosive for electronics," says Mark Humayun from the University of Southern California, who worked on the Argus II.
Limited vision
But it is not simply a case of insert implant, switch on and hey presto sight is restored, says Humayun. "It's like a broken arm that's been in a cast," he says. "You have to get them reoriented about how to use their eyes." Their brains also need time to adjust. Blind people famously repurpose the visual centres of their brains towards other senses, like smell or hearing. But Humayun notes that those same areas could "drift back to serving vision again".
It has taken years to overcome these challenges, and fewer than 100 patients – all with retinitis pigmentosa – have taken part in clinical trials. But their experiences have provided all the motivation needed to plough ahead. "We had patients telling us "I was sitting in my garden and I could see a sunflower"," says Zrenner. "One patient said he could walk around at night, because he could see streetlamps and headlights. Another told us that he saw the face of his fiancée for the first time. He could make out the shadows between individual teeth when she laughed."

2009 Status of the Blue Crab
April 24, 2009, 12:00:28 PM »
Sounds like a good season comin' up....
As reported by NewsChannel 8 in Arlington, VA:
Maryland, Virginia Announce Crab Population Rebound in Bay
posted 04/17/09 9:52 pm
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Chesapeake Bay's battered blue crab population has rebounded with a 50 percent increase over last year, an improvement credited to harvest restrictions that need to continue to rebuild the species, Maryland and Virginia officials said Friday.
The population of female adult blue crabs doubled from the previous year, while adult males increased by 50 percent, according to the 2009 winter dredge survey. Environmental officials in both states attribute the turnaround to restrictions on the the female crab harvest.
Officials cheered results from this year's winter dredge survey but cautioned that continued restrictions will be needed to revive a crab population that was 70 percent lower last year than it was in 1993. Talkback:

"We didn't get into this situation overnight, and we not going to get out of it overnight, so we need to be mindful of the broader conditions against which we are all working," said L. Preston Bryant Jr., Virginia's secretary of natural resources.
Results of the winter dredge survey were released by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, which drag selected areas of the bay and count the crabs there to come up with an estimate of the overall population.
The survey estimates there are about 418 million blue crabs in the bay, an increase from 280 million crabs in the prior year's survey. Of the 418 million, 243 million are adults and 175 million are juveniles, whose population did not change measurably.
Lynn Fegley, a biologist in charge of the blue crab team at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, said the progress was neither "a random event" nor "due to environmental conditions."
"It really is clearly a response to management and it is critical that we ensure that these adult females survive to spawn this summer, so that they are able to contribute to a healthy spawning stock down the road," Fegley said.
Jack Travelstead, fisheries director for the Virginia Marine Resource Commission, said Virginia will be "very inclined to keep in place this year the measures we had in place last year."
Those included early season closures of the crab pot fishery and closing the winter dredge fishery. Travelstead said closing the winter dredge fishery likely saved between 15 and 20 million crabs.
"The indication is we're clearly on the path of success and it was clearly related to the measures we have in place," Travelstead said, noting the commission will be meeting with advisory committees next week and in mid May.
Travelstead also said harvest restrictions won't be peeled back, but methods could be changed. He mentioned the early fall closure of the pot season as a possible restriction that could be changed.
"For instance, we've advertised bushel limits as a measure that the industry may favor as opposed to an early season closure, but again we've not had those meetings with industry yet to determine that," Travelstead said.
Both Maryland and Virginia a target in 2001 that no more than 46 percent of the crabs be harvested, but a smaller crab population and high fishing pressure caused more than 60 percent of the bay's crab population to be harvested in 2007, officials say.
Tom O'Connell, director of the Maryland DNR's fisheries service, said the state will continue to aim for that 46 percent rate. O'Connell said because of the crab increase, some modest adjustments to the harvest could be made this year. That decision will be made in late May, after officials work with the industry.
O'Connell also said Maryland will have to recognize that there are people who hold crab licenses who haven't used them in recent years, and the state will need to take that into consideration, particularly because effects from the national recession could bring more people back into crabbing.
Bill Goldsborough, a senior fisheries scientist at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, said the survey was encouraging, and he described having an adult population above 200 million adults as "the minimum level for a healthy crab population."
"But the number of juvenile crabs, on which future abundance depends, is not any better than last year and well below the long-term average," Goldsborough said in a statement. "While harvest restrictions did reduce the percentage of the crab population that was caught, the harvest rate was still above the target."
Here's the numbers for all those who really need to know them!

the news is good even with the females being fished pretty heavily in Southern waters, particularly in VA where they are in high abundance. I was down near the Ches bridge tunnel over the weekend and heard the commercial boats were all coming in with the limit of 45 bushels and they were all females...not sure how many boats they were talking about but thats a lot of females that won't be spawning...plus, the crabs are so plentiful down there that the price has dropped in half, down to $20/bu to the boat...this was all second hand info so I'm not positive that it was accurate but I understand that is what they catch down there, mostly females.

A neighbor of mine owns property down there as well and he knows a bunch of people that live there year round and work locally in the building trades...that local town area is not very big and all the commercial boats apparently come into the marina at the end of the day...they were telling him that they are catching a lot of crabs down there right now, just that they are pretty much all females...the comm. crabbers are probably out running long strings of pots in the main bay area...when my neighbor had 2 pots off his dock last summer he said he caught a mix of males and females so the creek areas may hold more male crabs, I don't know but will give it a shot this summer and find out first hand..

Good news. I'm headed down to the northern neck in a few weeks, and would love to catch a few dinners...
Too many of us think only shallowly of Freedom and Liberty. True Freedom isn\'t what or how many tattoos or piercings to get. Liberty is not found in laws, regulations or statutes. Government can never give you freedom-it can only find ways to limit it. Government Tyranny is the only thing that will reeducate us on the lessons of Freedom and Liberty. The results of the '08 election are now the beginning of our lesson.
