Three Central Coast students will get vital on-the-job experience as part of a scholarship scheme that will also help meet the cost of their university study.
This is the first time the University of Newcastle Industry Scholarship Scheme (UNISS) has offered incentives for nursing and teaching students, to not only help with study costs, but gain work experience in their chosen field by helping to deliver programs offered by Central Coast Youth Connections.
"I can't believe my luck at winning the scholarship," said 38-year-old Greenpoint mum Angela Parfitt, who is in her first year of studying for an education degree at the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus.
"I have always wanted to be a teacher and this scholarship will mean I won't have to go and get a job to cover my study costs. Being a bit older than most other education students, it will also give me an advantage when I start look for work."
The scholarships have been provided by Youth Connections with $36,000 offered over three years to Shelly Beach nursing student Samantha Scheffer and $44,000 over four years to Lisarow education student Sarah-Jane Tobias and Mrs Parfitt. A fourth scholarship has been awarded to Newcastle-based nursing student Katrina Adams.
Youth Connections CEO, Maggie MacFie, said the scholarships were offered by the Tuggerah-based youth education and training service, as a way of giving back to the broader community by nurturing the nurses and teachers of tomorrow.
"One of our students we've agreed to place, Angela Parfitt, displayed a determination to shape a new path at a mature age despite all the responsibilities of family life. We hope that if she is successful in completing her teaching training that she might elect to become part of shaping our organisation's mission to provide opportunities for young people to transition from education, training and employment."
UNISS manager Angela Samuels said the two nursing and two teaching scholarships offered in partnership with Youth Connections add to the 300 industry-linked scholarships offered with the support of businesses and locals.
"Teaching and nursing are two of the most popular courses offered by the University at the Central Coast campus and it is exciting that Youth Connections has come on board to provide financial support and on-the-job experience for these students."

text: The number of children (and adults) with type 2 diabetes mellitus has been growing considerably in recent years. This condition used to be known as "adult-onset diabetes" because it was so uncommon among children and adolescents. Since the 1990s, however, more cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus are being diagnosed in children than ever before. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes mellitus in the United States, affecting more than 25 million people. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes cause high amounts of sugar (glucose) to circulate in the blood. Insulin produced by the pancreas is required to move sugar from the blood into the body's cells, where the sugar is used to create energy. People with type 1 diabetes do not make enough insulin. People with type 2 diabetes initially make plenty of insulin, but their cells are "resistant" to the action of insulin — the cells do not respond properly and high levels of sugar build up in their blood. Persistently high blood sugars make it hard for the body to fight infections and, over time, damage nerves and blood vessels, causing problems with the heart, brain, eyes, kidneys, feet, as well as other parts of the body. Why Is Type 2 Diabetes Becoming So Much More Common in Children? Some people believe it may be related to changes in children's diets, activity levels, and weights. Children, like adults, are eating more calories than ever before. At the same time, children are getting less exercise, both in school and at home. Higher calorie diets and less exercise together means there are more children who are very overweight in the United States (and in many other nations). In fact, it now is estimated that one child out of every three in the United States is at least somewhat overweight. Studies have shown that being overweight and not active enough (exercising less than three times per week) greatly increase the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes tends to run in families; having a parent or sibling with diabetes or being part of certain ethnic groups (African-American, American Indian, Asian-American, Pacific Islander or Hispanic-American/Latino) increases the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Most people with type 2 diabetes, including children and adolescents, have no signs or symptoms, or their symptoms are so mild that they are not even noticed. Some people do have symptoms, which may include: increased thirst, increased hunger, increased urination (especially at night, when a child who was previously dry might start to wet the bed), extreme tiredness (fatigue), blurred vision, or cuts and sores that do not heal well. In addition, children may be losing weight without a clear reason why it is happening, while still eating the same amount of calories and exercising as much as before. Some adolescents with type 2 diabetes, particularly those who are overweight, have areas of dark, thickened, velvety skin in the folds of the neck or abdomen, under the arms, inside the elbow, or on the inner thighs. This condition, called acanthosis nigricans, is associated with persistently high insulin levels in the blood and marked insulin resistance. High blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride blood levels, and irregular menstrual periods (caused by polycystic ovary syndrome) also may be signs of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus should be treated by improving diet (making wise food choices), exercising more regularly, losing weight, and maintaining normal blood pressure. Many people with type 2 diabetes are able to manage with these lifestyle changes alone, but others may need to take diabetes medicines by mouth or shots of insulin to control how much sugar is in the blood. Studies suggest that people at high risk of type 2 diabetes can delay or possibly prevent it from ever happening by eating a healthy diet, not allowing body mass index to rise above 25, and getting regular exercise. Losing weight, lowering blood pressure, and lowering cholesterol also can lower the risk of complications should blood sugars begin to rise. Type 2 diabetes is a serious illness that unfortunately is becoming more common in children. While certain children are more likely to get this disease than others (for example, because of their background), all children (and adults) can lower their risk by eating healthier foods and getting regular exercise. Children and adolescents who are overweight and who have risk factors for diabetes (as discussed above: family history, ethnic group, acanthosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, high blood pressure or cholesterol problems) should be especially careful to get enough exercise and eat right, and should see their health care professional regularly so that he or she can check for early signs of diabetes. Henry H. Bernstein, D.O., is is a senior lecturer in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. In addition, he is chief of General Academic Pediatrics at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth and professor of pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical School. He is the former associate chief of General Pediatrics and director of Primary Care at Children's Hospital Boston.

Kelly has been drawing and painting Florida wildlife for over twenty years and is back at it again expressing her vision with the Ladies Day Tarpon Tournament for it's 23rd year. Her "Keepin' it Reel" theme fits right in with the date of the tournament having been moved back to Saturday, May 11 – the traditional Mother's Day weekend.
Kelly has skillfully painted in rich sepia tones her image of a "Reel Woman" catching a tarpon. The $20 limited edition and signed posters are available for purchase at the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.
Kelly also painted the logo again this year for the tournament from her art piece "Boca Grande Lady." Exclusive Tervis Tumblers with the Ladies Day art will be available in the near future, courtesy of Platinum Sponsors, Sisters Restaurant. Kelly's logo and artwork will be on t-shirts available at the Boca Grande Area Chamber office in the month of April. You can see Kelly's art on the Ladies Day Tournament Facebook page and on kellyreark.com.
Kelly will also be featured on the WENG radio show, "All About Women"on 107.5 FM and 1530 AM. Be sure to tune in on Wednesday, April 3 at 10 a.m. to learn more about the catch and release tournament, "reel" women and "reel" art.

A goal that I am constantly working on is finding new and different color combinations that work well in the landscape. Most recently, I'm intrigued with the use of chartreuse… that bright clean and electric green/yellow. This color seems to make the plantings vibrate with energy. I like the way it contrast with reds. I like the way it perks up pinks. I like the way it reminds me of magical places.
Here is a planting combination using Lime Mound Spirea, Purple Diamond Loropetalum and Blushing Knockout Rose. The Lime Mound Spirea puts the sparkle in the planting scheme.
Other plants can be used that have the same or similar vibrant chartreuse color. One of the easiest to grow is the Marguerite Potato Vine . It is an annual in Zone 7 which may be a good thing if you want to tone it down or try a different combination the following year.
Another great plant selection is the Lemon Coral Sedum. This plant hugs the ground and is chartreuse green all winter. Then in spring it burst out with tiny bright yellow flowers. The color is vibrant and carefree with a touch of whimsical. You can see in this photo how the scale of the plant is perfect for this miniature setting of a girl and her dog.
Chartreuse is a great color to perk up the landscape… I think you'll like the sparkle it adds.

16 CFR 260.3 - Structure of the guides.
§ 260.3
Structure of the guides.
The guides are composed of general principles and specific guidance on the use of environmental claims. These general principles and specific guidance are followed by examples that generally address a single deception concern. A given claim may raise issues that are addressed under more than one example and in more than one section of the guides. In many of the examples, one or more options are presented for qualifying a claim. These options are intended to provide a "safe harbor" for marketers who want certainty about how to make environmental claims. They do not represent the only permissible approaches to qualifying a claim. The examples do not illustrate all possible acceptable claims or disclosures that would be permissible under Section 5. In addition, some of the illustrative disclosures may be appropriate for use on labels but not in print or broadcast advertisements and vice versa. In some instances, the guides indicate within the example in what context or contexts a particular type of disclosure should be considered.

(KNBC) Online shoppers looking to save money may want to change their web browser settings to avoid "dynamic pricing," a common practice among web retailers looking to maximize revenue.
"Dynamic pricing essentially is pricing things different for different people at different times, for the same product," said John Simpson of consumerwatchdog.org. "So you start to have the ability of really discriminatory pricing."
Retailers track spending habits through "browser cookies," small files automatically downloaded from websites. Previous behavior could be an indicator of what someone is willing to spend: a consumer who shops at high-end retail websites may be willing to spend more than a discount shopper.
"You leave a trail. You might think you're anonymous on the Internet but you're really not. Your name may be private but your computer name is not," said UCLA Marketing expert Professor Dominique Hanssens.
Shoppers can avoid dynamic pricing by disabling third-party cookies. The option can be found in a web browser's settings. Consumers can also use one web browser for research, and another for purchasing.

Memorial Day in Miami 2012
by blackspringbreak on Apr.25, 2012, under Memorial Day Miami
Memorial Day is right around the corner. South Beach is the place to be if you like rubbing elbows with famous rap stars and rubbing on the asses of dimes and hood rats from all over the country. If you just broke up with your ex, this is the perfect place for rebound action. If you cant make it down there to find a jumpoff, you can always find some local ass on one of those black dating sites.
I am debating whether we will go to Myrtle Beach for Black Bike Week or just spend the entire weekend in Miami. As the time gets closer I will make the call.

The rallying cries from the little leaguers of Riverton weeks ago and the pleas of about a dozen people voicing their concerns about demolishing baseball diamonds at City Park Tuesday night fell upon deaf ears at Tuesday's city council meeting. City council member Al Leavitt says the city is not responsible for providing a facility for the 1,700 boys who play Little League.
"I think the guys that are making the money off this baseball super league need to take a personal accountability and make their own baseball facility," said City Council Member Al Leavitt.
It then turned from baseball to politics when the crowd decisively turned against the four who voted to approve the plan that would not include baseball diamonds. Council Member Brent Johnson asked to table the issue and voted no. Leavitt spearheaded the vote that ultimately approved the plan. A man amongst the crowd wants to challenge Leavitt for his seat on the council because of the City Park renovations plan.
"I just dont see how a passive park is going to bring in any revenue or bring in business to the surrounding businesses we have in the area," said city council candidate Trent Stagg.
Despite weeks of petitions, emails, and meetings, the woman who organized the public dissent says she won't stop here.
"It's unfortunate that he doesnt want to represent his city so I'll be voting against him and actively camaigning against him," said Riverton resident Teveka Melanson.
City Council members say the new plan shows a better park with more facilities for community events and other sports besides baseball. You can view the plans here.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
One snowboarder was killed and another was seriously injured in an avalanche near Cameron Pass in north-central Colorado.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center says the snowboarders, whose names and ages have not been released, were navigating backcountry terrain when they were caught in the slide in the Paradise Bowl on the west side of the pass Saturday. Scott Toepfer, a forecaster with CAIC, says the injured snowboarder was flown to a Fort Collins-area hospital by helicopter.
The Denver Post reports the Jackson County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team is looking for the other snowboarder. CAIC investigators also were at the scene Sunday, but the size of the avalanche has not been released.
CAIC says there have been four avalanche deaths in Colorado this season.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- to be fair and balanced here now is bedlam bowl.
The Obama for America -- national Press Secretary.
-- let me read you a quote from Maggie Lieberman at Politico sure she said.
Post debate the president's campaign was spinning valiantly in the media filing center.
But there was no mistake among Democrat democratic operatives here Andy in other states that Obama blew it.
If that is the thinking.
You know so -- the mainstream media how do you try to counter that notion.
Well listen governor Romney delivered a great work of performance art last night sending that I think Clint Eastwood would be proud of but.
On substances positions were just as empty as the chair the mysteries would had on stage.
But the president's goal last night was to lay out his plan to restore economic security for the middle class for that undecided voter tuning into the campaign.
A for the first time and I think -- -- that.
But governor Romney.
Locked himself into a number of positions last night like re committing.
To tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and a Medicare plan that would turn Medicare into a voucher.
And cost seniors more than 6000 dollars out of pocket -- health insurance.
That won't pay long term dividends for Mitt Romney what.
Specifics did we hear from the president what what I heard -- is some nation was I've been fighting hard for you for four years and if you give me four more years I'll continue fighting hard.
Well I think that he -- his plans on tax reform and talked about how he differed.
From governor Romney the fact that he doesn't believe that if you're middle class family -- your taxes should go up -- that governor Romney has laid five trillion dollar tax cut.
For the millionaires and billionaires that can't be paid for and -- -- raise taxes on the middle class now Mitt Romney tried to run away from that plan.
A last night but we're gonna make sure that Americans across the country understand.
Exactly what it is there is an exchange.
On education the president's doubled funding for college scholarships Mitt Romney has cut back in this area both in Massachusetts and would cut funding for education.
By 20% currently yet Mitt Romney stood on that stage and praised teachers last night when he's in the past said.
That we don't need any more teachers and oppose the president's legislation to put them back in the classroom so will hold them accountable for those specifics.
That he didn't share last night.
He did point out that the Massachusetts with the number one state in educational performance so you know -- there there is that.
I wanna do what we visit Massachusetts universities skyrocketed.
I wanna do what we did before governor Sununu as well the same poll -- and voters and viewers.
About president Obama's performance did Barack Obama do a better or worse job.
Than expected 21% said he did a better job 61%.
Said he did worse than expected.
Why do you think that is and will it change next time.
-- history here favors the challenger so in the past six presidential elections the challenger has been viewed.
As having the stronger performance in five out of the last six a debate simply because standing onstage next the president United States for the first time.
At stature.
But ultimately.
Governor -- is going to be held accountable for his statements in that debate he said he'd cover with.
People with preexisting conditions.
But his plan doesn't do that if you get a pre existing condition in your between jobs governor Romney's plan but it doesn't cover you won't be sharing those facts in the next couple weeks look let's talk about specifics from from the president's side because I didn't hear a lot of specifics.
From from President Obama either.
Well I think you heard about the president's deficit reduction plan last night is the only one in the race as a balanced and responsible deficit reduction plan.
A four trillion dollar.
-- based on the model of all the bipartisan deficit commissions which say you need tough spending cuts and revenue and order reduce the deficit and balanced way and Mitt Romney.
Does the opposite and recommitted last -- are not asking the wealthiest for -- to reduce the deficit.
Ben -- -- to press spokesman for Obama for America the president's campaign event thank you.
Thanks for having -- John.

What are you wearing Rob? And New Moon Shooting in Canada/Italy?
Extra has this piece about Rob's fashion choice from the UK premiere:
The "Twilight" hottie sent heat waves through chilly London for the "Twilight" premiere in this dark brown, two-button, notch label Dolce & Gabbana suit. He also sported a white shirt and charcoal tie by famed designers D&G.
and yahoo has a video of Rob at UK Twilight premiere HERE, it doesn't load well for me but AJ says this video claims New Moon will be shooting in Canada and Italy.

Yummmmy! I love Dolce and Gabanna. Rob looked uber delicious in that suit!

Yeah I read in one of the British articles about them shooting in Canada and Italy. But I kinda took it with a grain of salt. So much of the British stuff has had inaccuracies. I'm hoping they will still film in Portland they kind of have to Cullen house and Bella's house are in the area.
Though I have heard that filming in Vancouver is cheaper than the states. - December 4, 2008 at 9:13 PM

Are they still going to be shooting in Oregon and Southern Washington? Although the "Forks" and "Port Angeles" in the movie don't look like the real towns I think it would be pretty noticible if the school, Bella's house, the Cullens' house, and all of the other buildings looked completely different.

Yes, he'll be freezing his skinny butt off. They will either film in lower B.C. or near Banff is my guess. Fewer fans to bother them either way.

AJ---I am clueless to Canadian geography (dh makes fun of me all the time...he's from Ohio and sounds like a Canadian). Lower British Columbia further south by the US border, right?

Words cannot express how excited I was when I read the part about filming in Canada. Finally something exciting might happen here! Except for they're most likely filming in Vancouver and I live in lousy Toronto... sigh
- December 4, 2008 at 11:19 PM
I'm from Canada! If they decide to shoot some parts of the Italy scenes in canda, theuy sure gonna do it in quebec city. It looks just like europe... and I know that's what they did for Catch me if you can. It would be so cool!

Preserved food and civilization go together like bagels and lox. The early 20th century was an especially rich time for creating new ways to process food and for understanding old ways of preservation. But even now scientists can be surprised by what they find.
By Michal Meyer
Food for thought, food for love, even food for life. Food is far more than a list of ingredients on food labels. Fat, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, preservatives—these can't give the whole story of food.
Not even CHF can give the whole story of food, but here's some food for conversation. The topic of the month is processed food in all its many forms. I like history, and CHF likes history. So lets jump back in time with Sarah Everts, who shows that civilization and preserved food go hand in hand in "Processed: Food Science and the Modern Meal." Sarah begins her story deep in the pyramids of ancient Egypt, so expect a few surprises.
Chemical Heritage's Clay Cansler uncovers a 19th century way to process beef that was invented by a famous chemist and a roadbuilder. Even more surprising than its origins is the fact that the method is still in use today.

I guess you have not heard about the two largest investors in DTV. The names are Malone and Buffet, two of the greatest investors of the last 50 years and each of them owns billions of dollars in DTV shares for their holding companies.
Streaming does not get you the highest spending customers which are the people that love live sports. The hundred arenas around the country that fill with sports fans around the country are the same people that pay for high end sports offerings on DTV and cable. There is a reason the cash flow of DTV keeps increasing and profits are $5 per share for those that have invested. I actually invested 10 years ago. I suggest you look at the share price of DTV over the last decade on a chart and that will tell you all you need to know about their cash flow, viewers, etc.
I understand that over the next two years the fleet capacity is going to increase by 20%.
It seems to me this will decrease shipping rates and spot prices as the current ships
seem to handle the demand.
The share price keeps falling as the price of rare earth is below what is profitable for Lynas.
If this keeps going, they will run out of cash. I believe the Chinese would like to drive the
company out of business and buy it out of a bankruptcy filing.
I suggest you read their quarterly report or annual report so that you will know what you are talking about.
DTV management repeatedly has said that there growth in South America will continue at more than 1 million new customers each year after the churn. Now, Dish is another story as they have no customers
in Mexico or South America as does DTV.
dmorgan, you are correct about CNOOC being in a joint venture on 1/3 of the acreage. That leaves CHK with only 400,000 acres in the play which is 5 times the amount which Devon Energy is acquiring (82,000 acres) in the play for $6 billion. .
One more point. CHK has only been drilling in the Eagle Ford for about two years. Their production is still 40,000 more barrels a day of energy than Devon's acquisition in the
Eagle Ford.
The best acreage is EOG's. The acreage in Devon's acquisition and CHK's is second best. Still, Devon is paying $6 billion for 82,000 acres. A monster sum of money. When one of the top multi-nationals including the Chinese wants to buy another chunk of land they will have to approach CHK in a year or two and that could bring in $6 billion or more which shows how undervalued CHK will be once it improves the balance sheet over the next year.
There will be 1,000 less employees on the payrol in 2014l, capex will be reduced and hopefully in a year they can unload the 10 oil and gas service companies for a couple of billion dollars and use that to pay down the debt. Once those things happen, I see the share price exploding.
Devon recently agreed to pay $6 B for 82,000 acres in the Eagle Ford with 53,000 barrels of energy production per day.
CHK has 600,000 acres in the Eagle Ford with current daily production of 95,000 barrels of energy
production per day. What does this imply for all shareholders? Well, CHK previously sold 60,000
acres in the less productive northern part of the Eagle Ford for $1 billion leaving them the best of
the leasehold. If CHK sold only its existing production and the same sweet spot acreage as Devon
acquired in the Eagle Ford, the buyer would still have 50% more production than what Devon acquired so I would assume it should should pay 50% more or $9 billion.
What is the other 520,000 acres worth. Instead of paying $60,000 per acre as Devon paid, lets mark it down to $30,000 for the rest of CHK's resource which is in the rich oil and liquids area of the Eagle Ford. The rest of that land without any wells on it which will take the next 20 years to drill is worth at least $15 billion at a price of $30,000. Am I crazy valuing that oil and liquids land at $30,000 per acre? It will probably be worth a great deal more in 5 years.
The market is currently valuing CHK at $16 billion. Devon is paying $6 billion for about 10% of the same acreage in the Eagle Ford and 50% less production. Chesapeake also has 12,5 million other acres with hydrocarbons excluding the Eagle Ford. You can purchase that acreage for free if you assume that the current Eagle Ford holdings of CHK are only worth the current market value of the stock. Devon Energy has established that CHK's interest in the Eagle Ford is probably worth more than the current market value of CHK.
Give the CEO another year of streamlining the company operations and unloading the the 10 oil and gas service companies and then you can better establish what the oil and gas acreage by itself is worth. I also assume the next year will see another acquisition or two similar to Devon's acquisition.
You need to compare apples with apples and not oranges.
The netbacks in Canada are usually $10-40 per barrel lower than in the U.S. due to transportation costs and the price realized for oil and natural gas.
Linn is paying top dollar for reserves, especially with the BRY acquisition. The unknown is the California BRY property which could hold much more oil than is presently reflected in the acquisition price since the acreage has not been drilled to confirm actual reserves
Linn reserve numbers also do not include reserves that are not counted at this time since the technology of the future will result in additional reserves such as the 20 million barrels in the recent Permian acquisition that Linn Energy says are not presently in their reserve total.
Still, even if Line has 1,000 million boe and $8.5 billion in debt (with BRY), that is a great deal of debt compared to those three Canadian companies that have the same energy and half the debt of Line.
You are wrong about Obama and the cost to convert a car engine from gas to natural gas. The EPA has required permits for any company changing the engine, pollution components of a car on the road. Any one that changes these things on a car needs a certification. The EPA has been requiring this for the last decade.
In Argentina where there is no regulation like the EPA drivers spend $300-600 for a natural gas kit and labor is half a day.
The U.S. regulatory process has nothing to do with this administration. Actually, we are in a mess because of the Bush presidents. They are the ones that went along with ethanol requirements to mix corn ethanol with gasoline which has raised food and fuel prices.
The natural gas regulations are EPA driven and extend beyond the time this administration came along, they have not changed and the Congress does not put any pressure on them to change and ease the way for natural gas engines.
Earnings per share for the last quarter are up 5% to $5.25 a share and it looks like the new technology with the one DVR that reaches 5 TV sets and records 5 shows at once is attracting more customers every month to rent the top of the class DVR. I have a COX and my mother has Time Warner and we can only record two programs at once and we are unable to watch another channel at the same time which is annoying.
In addition South America over the next two years is going to host the World Cup in Soccer and the next summer olympics in 2016, so the growth of 1 million customers a year South America is going to continue marching on.
Furthermore, the P/E keeps dropping and the PEG ratio are both superior to any other entertainment stock. Shares are under priced if you look at any other entertainment, cable company in terms of P/E and PEG ration.
Since June the only buyer of units has basically been Cohen. The rest of the board has not stepped up and bought any units even though the unit price has been declining for 5 months.
The market indexes have been climbing for the same five months to all time highs.
I think the 5 month decline in equity price and the lack of board acquisitions at the lowest prices of the year says a great deal about the ARP. The board does not think the shares are a good value in spite of the distribution. Why should any one else own this?
Can they issue more units near the low for the year to make any acquisitions? Yes, but that would not be very smart.
Yes, inflation will return someday which will help gold. The problem is unemployment in the U.S. and around the world, low paying jobs for more than half of all jobs and that is a recipe for low demand and muted prices and muted inflation. That all might change over the next 2-3 years. Still, the big miners are producing all the gold that is meeting demand and they are not making much money.
This mine probably does not produce for another decade and the cost of building it goes up every year. I have watched too many mines in Canada, Arizona and other locations take 5 years of hearings and planning and permitting. Then tack on the construction period. When would that put an opening date on this mine?
I think it goes lower in price especially if each quarter we see profits hard to come by at Barrick, Eldorado, Kinross, etc.
big mining companies have all the inventory they need. The problem with this stock is that it will cost $5 billion dollars minimum (without cost overruns) to build the mine and 5 years of time on top of that to earn a dollar. It takes 5 years to get permits and mines completed. Not too many companies want to spend $5 billion with the current price structure and have no earnings for 5 years on the $5 billion. Frankly, I think mine cost projections are much more expensive that projected as I have watched cost overruns over the last three years in this industry.
the problem with moving to more liquids is that every natural gas producer is concentrating on that and that will drive down prices on liquids which is what
we have been seeing as more and more liquids are coming to market.
No other energy company in the U.S. wanted to buy BRY during 2012 or 2013 when its price was much lower. Linn Energy is the only buyer that showed up, bid the price 9 months ago show that the share price jumped 20% and now is upping the price another 10%-15%/
One buyer only and no others for BRY during a very strong market in oil.
Linn, the only buyer, what does that tell you.
BRY shareholders will receive a dividend of almost $5 per BRY share once the deal closes. Yes it will take 12 monthly distributions from Linn over the year, but this is a very good deal for BRY shareholders. Linn unit holders might get another 5-10 cents per year in distributions over the previous 12 months and they are diluted another 10% over the previous deal with BRY.
Linn is taking on another $2 billion in debt from the deal and peanuts to the unit holders of Linn.
Linn would have been better off taking out $2 billion in debt and acquired 4-5 more deals like the last Permian deal they acquired last quarter. Instead, they are issuing $3-4 billion in Lnco shares and assuming $2 billion in debt and Linn unit holders get a nickle or dime more in earnings. Lousy deal for existing investors in Linn or Lnco and great deal for BRY investors.
dividend or distribution it makes not difference to either Linn or Lnco, it equals $2.90 presently. For BRY shareholders it will amount to a dividend of almost $5 per share, a very good deal for BRY shareholders and a mediocre deal for Linn unit holders.
Read the latest quarterly meeting report.
If you read my post it said where I got the number.
My concern is how management purchased two major facilities and the same report said that occupancy has dropped 30%. Those acquisitions are going to hurt this portfolio for more than just 2013. I would suggest you look for another security with a better yield. Take a look at LINE, ARP and BBEP.
I just finished reading the latest report from management. Was disappointed to hear that only 42% of tenants renew their leases. Also, hearing that 2 properties where occupancy dropped almost 30% could cause such a ripple effect to the entire performance.
While they are growing by purchasing and constructing new properties this does not seem to be helping investors in terms of additional cash distributions or share appreciation. Disappointing in my opinion.
I believe the head wind for campus housing like this is the rising costs of education: tuition, books, etc.

Illinois clerks get OK to defend gay marriage ban
Tuesday - 7/3/2012, 11:52am EDT
CHICAGO (AP) - Two Illinois county clerks have received permission to defend the state's gay marriage ban in court.
Effingham County Clerk Kerry Hirtzel and Tazewell County Clerk Christie Webb on Tuesday got the OK to intervene in the lawsuit filed in Cook County by 25 gay and lesbian couples. They stepped forward after Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan refused to defend the 16-year-old ban, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
The prosecutors say the law violates the Illinois Constitution's equal protection clause. But they didn't object to the downstate clerks' intervention.
The Thomas More Society is representing the clerks.
Webb says she has no position on gay marriage but just wants to ensure there's a uniform law for all counties.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Domaine Grand Venuer's 2010 Lirac Clos de Sixte is outstanding. It is a full-bodied, rich, textural wine with abundant blue and black fruits interwoven with garrigue and licorice..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The larger-scaled 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Le Rouvre offers a dense purple color followed by aromas of graphite, fruitcake, black currants and blackberries. This stunning, full-bodied, rich Crozes-Hermitage has a lot in common with the more serious wines from Hermitage... Despite the name,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Vivid red. Floral-accented scents of candied red fruits and herbs. Refreshingly bitter and precise, with energetic raspberry and cherry flavors picking up spiciness with air. The floral quality comes back on the bright, spicy, very persistent finish. I like this wine's clarity and balance."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... One of the sleeper cuvees of the entire cellar, ground pepper intermixed with tapenade, creme de cassis, and smoky barbecue notes are followed by a wine with great fruit, good acidity, and striking minerality. It should drink well for a decade or more."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A dark, gutsy style, with a tarry frame and a robust core of pastis, blackberry cobbler and melted licorice snap. Singed wood and charcoal notes line the finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The darker, fuller-bodied 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits plenty of blackberry and black raspberry fruit as well as good acidity and freshness. This rich, dense ruby/purple-colored 2010 is capable of 10-15 years of cellaring."

Food factory serve Middle Eastern fare. It is in an undistinguished strip mall. You could miss it. But ever since we went there two years ago, we have made detours to get food there. the owners are the real deal; so is the food. Try the Spicy chicken. And the fresh nan is like a cloud of flavor.
Nice selection of Afghani and Pakistani vegetarian dishes along side a nice smoky chicken kabob. So, overall the food is Ok. Unfortunately, everything is served up on styrofoam and plastic. I don't enjoy using plastic "silverware" and I hate to think about the amount of styrofoam trash this place must generate everyday -- a new "plate" with every trip to... More
$7.99 all you can eat is great but too much for me( to eat- not the price!). $3.96 buys a good size serving of a veg curry and a fresh fantastic naan( half will go home with me). Try the okra when they have it- today I have spinach and potato. Why have a yucky fast food pre- made lunch... More
Been here a few times..sometimes with friends, sometimes all by myself. The place has been the same for over 1 year now. The dinner menu has a naan, some rice and about 4 veggie and 2 (non-veg) side dishes and some salads. The naan is simply great. The other dishes are just ok and the rice is mostly oily. The... More
This is an unassuming little restaurant in a quiet strip mall on route one just north of Paint Branch. Its clean and well lighted.

Hello I have been there for several times. The food is delicious and cheap.. The workers are lovely and kind. I hope that they continue in this way. I also hope that they would open another branch in other states. Thank you
You get tasty meals here for very little money. I can recommend the dinner buffet, a robust feast of well-made food. The gyros sandwich is generous, although I would recommend more tsatsiki sauce then they generally apply. The naan bread is excellent. No alcohol is served, and the atmosphere is definitely college drab, but kind people and good food overcome... More
I am a regular at food factory. They have an amazing choice of Indian, Pakistani, and Persian dishes that are all very well made and extremely appetizing. For the quality of the food, their prices can't be beat, especially for the all you can eat buffet!

Meet our Students
Meet Julia KellyThe path to higher education has been far from conventional for Julia Kelly. She was born to missionary parents in New Delhi, India. From an early age she was homeschooled by her parents, and at the age of 16, Julia took the G.E.D. Afterward, she began working at a nonprofit organization. When the nonprofit moved, Julia followed, and from 2007 – 2009 she worked full-time in Mexico. While there, Julia made the decision to further her education and began to research schools. Julia decided on MiraCosta College without even stepping foot on campus. "I chose MiraCosta because it had a prettier website and was easier to maneuver than other schools. I'm so glad I chose it, because MiraCosta has turned out to be all kinds of awesome." Before attending MiraCosta College, Julia had never been to a public school. "Because I had never been in a formal classroom setting, I had no idea what to expect." Julia says. "Initially I overestimated what was expected of me in school and over-delivered. It worked out well, but now I am much more comfortable as a student and am not constantly freaking out over assignments." One of the biggest differences Julia experienced was formal grading. "There is no grading curve when you are homeschooling, so it was a confidence booster to receive formal grades. Getting my first A+ on an assignment felt really good. It encouraged me to pursue academic excellence. It made everything seem worth it. Overall, my first semester was a great experience." During her time at MiraCosta College, Julia has become a member of the Honors Scholar Program and won the school's highest academic award, the Medal of Honor. Julia attributes much of her academic success at MiraCosta College to the Honors Scholar Program. "Everything it has to offer continually exceeds my expectations. Christopher Sleeper (the honors program coordinator) is a god among men." As a member of the Honors Scholar Program, Julia was given the opportunity to present her original research at the Honors Transfer Council of California at the University of California, Irvine and Berkeley. "The symposium was like a vacation, while you bettered yourself. It was an amazing opportunity. I used to hate public speaking and would have never thought it was possible to get to a point where I was comfortable presenting in front of people, but my advisers, Lynne Miller and Bob Turner, helped me get to a place where I wasn't nervous." Along with the Honors Scholar Program, Julia has also been involved with MiraCosta College's Chariot newspaper as the assistant art director and columnist for the opinion pieces. "Working on the Chariot was hard work, but I have never laughed as hard with a group of people, trying to get the paper out on Thursday nights." In the fall semester of 2012, Julia will attend the University of California, Santa Barbara. When asked about the transfer process, Julia said, "I am really obsessive compulsive, and I love forms. I figured out a lot of the information I needed to transfer myself, but I still went to see Lise and Jed at the Transfer Center. Every time I went in they gave me insight about what I needed to do for transfer success -- I would recommend that any student take advantage of the Transfer Center. Having a screwed up schedule or taking classes you didn't need is one of the worst feelings a student can have," says Julia. As Julia embarks on the next step in her academic journey, she will always remember her time at MiraCosta College. "This school has absolutely stellar professors, an amazing honors program, and you are given everything you need to succeed here. You can't beat that!" |

Critical Security and Chinese Politics
The Anti-Falungong Campaign
By Juha Vuori
Routledge – 2014 – 208 pages
Series: PRIO New Security Studies
Routledge – 2014 – 208 pages
Series: PRIO New Security Studies
This book examines how critical approaches to security developed in Europe can be used to investigate a Chinese security issue - the case of the Falungong.
The past few decades have produced a rich field of theoretical approaches to 'security' in Europe. In this book, the security-specific notions of securitization (Wæver), the politics of insecurity (Huysmans), and emancipation (Wyn Jones) are used as analytical approaches to investigate the anti-Falungong campaign in the People's Republic of China (PRC). This campaign, launched in 1999, was directed against a semi-religious group of qigong-practitioners which was presented as a grave threat to society and as jeopardizing socialism in China. The largest security-related propaganda campaign since 1989 made this obscure group a household name around the world. The campaign had major impacts: new legislation was established to battle the claimed threat of the group and human rights organizations reported severe mistreatment of practitioners. Today, more than a decade later, the Falungong and its master Li Hongzhi continue to challenge the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), mainly outside China and online.
This book approaches one empirical case with three approaches in order to transcend the tendency to pit one approach against another. The book strives to show how these critical frameworks highlight different aspects of the political and social processes that have been involved in the campaign. Such a setup places the concepts in a comparative perspective, not only in abstract theoretical and political terms as has been done before, but in the conduct of research, in the hope that this will produce renewed engagement between the solidified oppositions in the field. Furthermore, this is used as a vehicle to discuss more general philosophical issues of theory, development, and theory development. Topics such as instrumentalist philosophy of science, interests of knowledge, activism in scholarship as well as both conceptual and theory travel are examined in light of the stated goals of critical approaches to security. Such discussions are necessary in order to apply the frameworks in investigations that go beyond the socio-political context they were originally developed in. The examination of different approaches to a single case will also assist students to comprehend the effects research framework selection has on a piece of research, and at the same time to realize the limits and tensions of the frameworks.
This book will be of interest to students of critical security studies, Chinese politics, research methods and IR in general.

On Monday afternoon at Phillips 66 Plaza, The RV-1 designed and built by Dick VanGrunsven, which was the basis for the entire line of RV series of aircraft designs, was dedicated in a ceremony in front of hundreds of RV fans that assembled in the hot Wisconsin sun to see it transferred to its new home . . . the EAA AirVenture Museum. On the dais was EAA's Chad Jensen, EAA President Rod Hightower, Ernie Butcher from Friends of the RV-1, and Dick VanGrunsven.
Chad Jensen spoke briefly and turned over the presentation to EAA President Rod Hightower. "I know I don't have to tell you what happening out there, but we are celebrating here the most successful kit aircraft company in history, and the most successful line of fabulously designed aircraft. "The RV-1 has had a tremendous impact on the lives of many of us and represents the innovation and creation the can-do-it-ness that we are known for at EAA," Hightower said.
Ernie Butcher from Friends of the RV-1, who spoke about the process of acquiring the RV-1. Ernie continued to speak about that process and that the next step was to convince Dick to allow the homebuilt community to make sure it was airworthy and allowed it to go on tour. Butcher recognized the EAA, Chad Jensen, Rod Hightower and gave special thanks to Tom Poberezny for making the induction of the RV-1 into the museum a reality. Butcher noted that a large team of dedicated individuals centered in Dallas came from from all over the country, to participate in the RV-1's restoration process. "You-all, all involved took such good care of it like what it is, well what it is, I suppose, a piece of aviation history," Butcher said, speaking of the tour.
At this point Dick VanGrunsven took to the microphone and noted that the RV-1 was created through continual improvements. "The whole idea the whole point along, To make and airplane that was enjoyable to fly, useful to fly," VanGrunsven said. He also noted he had something he wanted to share with the audience, his two and half year old grand daughter Lilley, wearing a jump suit his wife made for their son Greg, some 35 years ago. Dick also spoke of about promoting aviation education to inspire a new generations of aviators and noted one way it has been done has been by various education institutions building RV-12's.
After VanGrunsven was finished speaking, he handed EAA President Rod Hightower the key to the RV-1. "I think it is safe to say this is the key to innovation would you agree," Hightower said. At that point in the ceremony, Hightower presented VanGrunsen with a plaque commemorating the dedication of the RV-1.
