Daily Schedule
Day 1:
Hotel Check-in 3-4 pm, Orientation and required safety lecture 5 pm followed by dinner.
(Saturday, August 2)
Ouray has been a special destination for more than 100 years. Set at the narrow head of a valley at 7,792 feet and surrounded on three sides with 13,000 foot snowcapped peaks - Ouray is home to hundreds of miles of historic roads, hiking trails, sulfur-free hot springs with stunning views and the world-famous Ouray Ice Park. Remarkably, two-thirds of Ouray's original Victorian structures, are still occupied, and have been lovingly restored in order to preserve their turn-of-the-century charm.
Arrive To:
Arrival by 4 p.m. Required safety orientation 5 p.m.

Day 2:
The itinerary of hikes are the planned program hikes. The schedule may change due to weather, closures or unforeseen circumstances. Portland Trail above Ouray/Box Canyon Park. Note on each day's hikes: We begin with easier hikes both in distance and elevation gain/loss building each day in length and difficulty so that participants can acclimate to both physical and altitude factors.
(Sunday, August 3)
Today's hike will be 4 miles round trip, 4 hours total including trail lunch, elevation gain of 500' and maximum altitude of 8,000'.
Full breakfast at a local restaurant.
Today we begin our hiking adventure with an easy hike in the Forest near Ouray. We gather in the brisk morning mountain air with our resident geologist and leader. This short trail, gains about 500 feet elevation over its well-groomed course. It follows Portland Creek through the basin above the Amphitheater, a large depression in one of the mountainsides surrounding Ouray. The Amphitheater resulted from volcanic activity some 60 million years ago. The reward of the hike are the magnificent vistas and nearby waterfalls that fall magnificently into the amphitheater area.
Picnic box lunch on trail
After lunch we travel to and take a short hike in Box Canyon Park. The Box Canyon Waterfall & Park is Ouray�s natural wonder�formed when the rushing waters of Canyon Creek eroded a deep and very narrow box canyon through fault weakened limestone. The trailhead begins at the southwest end of town and allows us another view of the town nestled in its valley. We then walk along the gorge, high above the ribbon of Canyon Creek. We crossed "The High Bridge" built in 1900 to carry a water pipeline between two reservoirs. The project was disbanded in 1950 when extra water was no longer needed. We make our way into Box Canyon, reaching Box Canyon Falls along a catwalk passing a winch left by miners, unsuccessful at finding gold in the creek sediments.
Dinner tonight is at a local restaurant where you will order off of the menu.
Free for exploring the historical, Victorian town of Ouray or a possible swim in the hot springs pool.

Day 3:
High alpine hiking near Silverton, CO/ Historic guided Mine and Mill Tour
(Monday, August 4)
A moderate hike 4 miles round trip over 4 hours including lunch on trail, elevation gain of 800'. maximum altitude 12,500.
Full breakfast at a local restaurant.
To reach the trailhead for today's hike, we travel south from Ouray on US Route 550. This road is known as the "Million Dollar" (for views) Highway. We cross Red Mountain Pass. The red results from the highly oxidized iron content of the mountain. We take a rough gravel road to the trailhead in an alpine meadow at 11,400 ft. Beautiful views of the mountain ranges start the hike on a jeep road, making for easy walking occasionally encountering late summer snowfields and pristine runoff streams. Notable throughout this walk are an absolute carpet of flowers. The hike destination is Bullion King Lake in the Porphyry Basin at 12,500 feet. Porphyry refers to a texture of igneous rocks. In its non-geologic, traditional use, the term "porphyry" refers to the purple-red form of this stone, valued for its appearance. We stop for lunch and a lecture about the geology of the area.
Picnic box lunch on trail
We descend by foot and van into the mining town of Silverton and then drive to the Old Hundred Gold Mine for an authentic undergound tour. We also visit and tour the Mayflower Mill where millions of dollars of gold were processed for several decades.
Dinner tonight is at a Silverton restaurant where you will order off of the menu.

Day 4:
All day hike to Alpine Mine on the Weehawken Trail
(Tuesday, August 5)
Moderately difficult hike 5.5 miles round trip, 6 hours 2,200' elevation gain, highest elevation 10,900'
Full breakfast at a local restaurant.
A challenging all day hike due to the long uphill gain, but ultimately very rewarding for the views and the rich geologic story along the trail. The first mile of this trail climbs through aspen groves and open meadows. Signs of elk and beer scar the aspen trees and flowers fill the grassy meadows. The views of the Mt. Hayden massif to the east are ominous and beautiful. The trail splits after 1.3 miles. The right fork is the Alpine Mine Trail. The Alpine Mine "overlook", at 2.7 miles, provides a view down to the town of Ouray (approximately 2000' below), a view of the red rocks of the Cutler Formation and the multiple series of volcanic rocks that drape the Cutler. All of this exposed within the glacially-cut Uncompaghre River Gorge. A view well worth the effort.
Picnic box lunch on trail
After lunch on the trail continue the hike. Arrive back in Ouray mid-afternoon. The town is named after the great Ute Chief Ouray (c. 1833�August 24, 1880). Ouray (Arrow in the Ute language) was a Native American chief of the Uncompaghre band of the Ute tribe, then located in western Colorado. Because of his leadership ability, Ouray was also acknowledged by the United States government as a chief of the Ute. In 1880 he left Colorado to travel to Washington, D.C., where he testified before Congress about the Ute uprising of 1879. He tried to secure a treaty for the his tribe, Uncompaghre Ute, who wanted to stay in Colorado; but, the following year, the United States forced the Uncompaghre and the White River Ute to the west to reservations in present-day Utah. Although unsuccessful in keeping their homelands in Colorado, Ouray was renowned as he sought reconciliation between peoples, with the belief that war with the whites likely meant the demise of the Ute tribe.

Day 5:
All day hike on the Ice Lakes Basin Trail
(Wednesday, August 6)
Moderately difficult day hike from 6 to 8 miles round trip depending upon hikers interests; 6 to 8 hours including lunch on trail, elevation gain 1,200' to 2,000' with highest elevation 12,500'.
Full breakfast at a local restaurant.
We retrace our earlier in the week's drive south on US550 to today's trailhead and the Ice Lake Basin Trail. This at times strenuous all day hike has the attraction of reaching three spectacular lakes on this trail. We hike through intermittent forest for 1.8 miles. Once in the lower Ice Lake Basin, rugged mountain views are constant. There are also numerous big waterfalls and creeks. Wildflowers are tall and thick. The trail to the upper basin cuts up through a massive rock wall. Ice Lake, the first lake encountered is surrounded by sharp, jagged peaks. The rolling hills are festooned with flowers. The view is as one author put it, "classic Colorado. Inspiring!"
Picnic box lunch on trail
After a welcome lunch break, options for additional hikes to two more lakes are available. Fuller Lake is a relatively easy 1.7 miles round trip hike. We continue on the same trail that brought us to Ice Lake. It is a good trail that passes an un-named little lake before making the moderate ascent to Fuller Lake. Wildflowers and a spectacular look back to Ice Lake make this a great side trip. Another option is to hike to Island Lake: We cross the outlet stream from Ice Lake and pick up a trail contouring north up the mountainside. Island Lake is around the saddle 1.2 miles round trip above. Once again spectaculat views and fields of wldflowers prevail. We return to Ouray in late afternoon.
Dinner tonight is at a local restaurant where you will order off of the menu.

Day 6:
Local Mining and train History-Guided hike of an old mining "ghost" town, mine remains and a engineering marvel railroad grade and turntable
(Thursday, August 7)
Easy hiking day with 4 miles total round trip, 4 hours hiking including lunch on trail, 200 feet elevation gain, maximum altitude 10,000'
Full breakfast at a local restaurant.
Today we explore the Red Mountain mining area. Walking along old rail beds we visit several mines�in particular, Yankee Girl and American Girl, both of which produced the most gold and silver in the area. We learn about extraction operations of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The mines and the towns that grew up with them were relatively short-lived�most lasted little more than five years. We visit Guston, where by 1888, several dozen homes had been built and the population was about 200. The town's streets were so steep that they had to snake up the mountainsides. In 1897 all three mines closed, and Guston quickly became a ghost town. The only structures remaining in the area are the mining structures and of the Yankee Girl mine.
Picnic box lunch on trail
Our hike follows the railroad which served the towns and the mining operations were really the engineering marvels of the time. We discover how the railroad came through the valley, we see an engineering marvel of the day, the turntable and �Y� configuration of the tracks so the locomotives could be turned around, and the �cut and fill� method of keeping the tracks on a level by cutting through rock ridges and filling in gullies. We return early afternoon for a self guided tour of Ouray Historical Museum.
Dinner on own to explore Ouray

Day 7:
High Alpine Day (high alpine basin exploration) with hikes to Blue Lakes Pass or Mt. Sneffels
(Friday, August 8)
Choice of hikes in Yankee Boy Basin, 5 to 7 miles round trip, time 8 hours with lunch, elevation gain 1,100 to 2,150 feet. Maximum elevation either 13,100 or 14,150 depending upon hike chosen.
Full breakfast at a local restaurant.
Guided hiking from 11,500' Yankee Boy Basin with two hike options: ascent of 14,150' Mount Sneffels or hike to 13,100' Blue Lakes Pass. Choice of hike will depend on individual hiking ability, weather conditions, and group interest.
Picnic box lunch on trail
Continue morning hike-climb. Speak Yankee Boy Basin to any seasoned Colorado photographer and they'll probably wax philosophical about their past visits to this popular wildflower haunt. No single place in Colorado defines the wildflower bloom and the budding anticipation of the season than this destination in the beautiful San Juan Mountains. Nestled at an elevation between 11500 and 12000 feet, Yankee Boy Basin contains some of the most prolific stands of wildflowers in Colorado.
Dinner tonight is at a local restaurant where you will order off of the menu. Celebrate with your fellow Road Scholar participants the hiking achievements of the week.

Suggested Reading List
The Utes Must Go
Author: Peter Decker
Description: Tracing three centuries of Ute Indian history, ''The Utes Must Go!'' chronicles the policies and incidents that led to the involuntary removal of the Ute Indians from Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Historian Peter Decker unveils new critical information on figures such as U.S. Army Maj. Thomas Thornburgh, Interior Secretary Carl Schurz, famed newspaperman Horace Greeley, and Indian Agent Nathan Meeker whose relentless mission to turn Indian hunters into farmers led to the tragedy at Milk Creek in 1879. Decker's research brings to light the complete drama of a proud Indian people swept away by the nineteenth-century tide of pioneer settlement, racism, and greed.
Mines, Mountain Roads, and Rocks: Geologic Road Logs of the Ouray Area (Ouray County Historical Society Guidebook Series, Guidebook No. 1)
Author: George Moore
Description: This well-illustrated publication discusses how the northwestern San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado and the rich ore bodies they contain formed and describes the historic mining districts of the area. It provides point-by-point descriptions of the mines, rocks, and other features along the roads and jeep trails that provide access to the mountains.
The Rainbow Route
Author: Robert Sloan
Description: Presents the fascinating saga of Otto Mears' "other" narrow gauge railroading endeavors and also the precious metals mining high in the San Juan Mountains within the Silverton district. This 416-page chronicle is the first-and-foremost history of the Silverton Railroad; the Silverton, Gladstone & Northerly; and the Silverton Northern; the three little lines that hauled gold and silver ore down to Silverton and connected with the Denver & Rio Grande's Silverton Branch. Features 400 illustrations with 60 in full color.
Mountains of Silver: Life in Colorado�s Red Mountain Mining District
Author: David Smith
Description: A little over a century ago, the Red Mountain Mining District in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado was the scene of a "silver rush" with an output of precious metals second in Colorado only to that of Leadville. In a period of less than twenty-five years, more than thirty million dollars in silver, lead, zinc, copper, and gold were taken from the rich deposits in the mines along Red Mountain Divide -- an amount roughly equivalent to a quarter billion of today's dollars. The histories of the communities that sprang into being with these mines, the railroads constructed to service them, and the men and women who lived, worked and died in them, are the threads deftly woven into the richly textured story of Mountains of Silver. It is a colorful and varied tapestry that depicts the lives of prospectors who made the first rich strikes; the land promoters, speculators, and road-and-railroad builders who capitalized on the frenzied rush to the area; and the motley collection of miners, lawyers, merchants, prostitutes, saloonkeepers, and freighters who attempted to profit from the boom.
Exploring the Historic San Juan Triangle
Author: David Smith
Description: Readers are given a grand tour of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Filled with rare photographs, specially drawn maps, new trips, updated road tours, and information on towns along the way, this is the "Number One" Jeeping Guide to the San Juans.
The Ute Indians of Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico
Author: Virginia Simmons
Description: Using government documents, archives, and local histories, Simmons has painstakingly separated the often repeated and often incorrect hearsay from more accurate accounts of the Ute Indians.

It's going to take quite a while to live down Gitmo.
That was the sort of thing that we all hated the Soviets for.
My own Father spent a bit of time as a "guest" of Joseph Stalin. I'm glad he decided against moving to the USA when he got out in 1948. -
home? they shoot traitors on sight. I wish we did.
Ottodesu, please, accept our thanks as well for your father's decision. Yes, Gitmo is horrible and shameful, but we'll fix it. Meanwhile, enjoy whatever happy little home you live in. God Bless the United States. Even more so, when we're wrong.
fix what? Obama has left that country club open. Compare that to the gulag? Really?
This is totally off subject but an interesting story (I thought.)
Richard Cordray, who was just confirmed as one of Obama's nominees (for Consumer Protection something) was on Jeopardy!
Back in 1987, when you were only allowed to win 5 times, he won 5 times.
A yahoo story lists some of the questions he missed.
First comment on the story: "Must have been a slow news day." -
We are SO happy he didn't come to the US either. No need for even more traitors and socialists.
Ignoratti spouting off about a hero who survived Stalin's purges should….
Speaking from the left, I would say that Solzhenitsyn was a great writer and a heroic figure, but like most people, he was complex; he exposed terrible crimes in the Soviet Union, but he also took some positions which I, at least, can't agree with. His opposition to Soviet imperialism, for instance, made it hard for him to see American imperialism at work in Vietnam.
My Father was a POW between 1944-48 because he fighting the Soviets. (No, he wasn't a Nazi either.) He lost over 50% of his body mass.
He ended up being a rampant Capitalist and vehemently anti-socialist. He hated Unions.
He had massive bullet wounds because he fought the USA's enemy.
OK, I will allow that you did not understand what I was saying, but he had the greatest positive respect for the USA.
You need to have the same for him. -
I despair that many of the readers here are illiterate and ignorant of what happened in WWII.
And I grew up in a country that has always welcomed the USA as an ally.
My Father regarded the USA as an ally and I still do. -
Thanks for that.
Actually, when I read "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" it sounded exactly like what my Father endured, except that the "fictional" character had more food.
BTW, my family are not from the Soviet Union, but one of the other countries in the former Iron Curtain. - Load the rest of the comments (1).

Don't Panic, Buy Silver: Rick Mills 0 comments
Source: Sally Lowder of The Gold Report (4/15/13)
It looks bad for precious metals. Gold prices have fallen hard. Explorers are hurting for money. Slim treasuries mean fewer drill programs. Scarce discovery news could lead to fewer listings on the Toronto Stock Exchange. But all is not lost. In this interview with The Gold Report, Rick Mills, owner and host of Ahead of the Herd, points to the fundamentals of silver and the opportunities for stock pickers willing to invest in small bites and wait out the inevitable market ups and downs.
The Gold Report: Precious metal bullion and equities are taking a hit right now in the market. Why do you feel silver is an interesting investment today?
Rick Mills: There is a disconnect this year between silver and gold. They usually trade in lockstep, and their market prices are doing that.
As of April 2, more than 140 tons of gold has flowed out of various exchange traded funds (ETFs) this year, while silver ETFs have added more than 20 million ounces (20 Moz). Maybe that is because silver is more affordable than gold or because silver also has industrial uses.
TGR: But the ETFs do not reflect a price disparity between gold and silver.
RM: It is hard to figure out. In Q1/13, U.S. mint silver coin sales reached an all-time high of 13.2 Moz. Annualized, that is 52.8 Moz silver sold in 2013, another record. The $10 billion spent to buy those ounces would be a record as well. Investors are buying 56 times more silver ounces than gold ounces.
TGR: Why is that?
RM: Silver is called poor man's gold. Both are monetary metals, silver for even longer than gold. And silver just might outperform gold in the future. The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index is trading similarly to the early 2000s when silver was below $10/ounce.
TGR: The appetite for silver bullion is voracious.
RM: The monetary climate is dominated by quantitative easing. There has probably never been a bigger need for non-fiat money, yet the most popular safe havens are the U.S. dollar and Treasury bonds. German bunds are popular. It is hard to understand government controlled paper assets being more popular than real hard money.
TGR: Some of the loudest voices in this space have been talking about silver and platinum more than gold, which is interesting.
RM: Given the demand from more cars being on the road around the world and the fact that almost as much jewelry is made from platinum as is used as autocatalysts, as well as the precarious supply source in South Africa, I can see platinum being an extremely timely investment, but nothing will be as good as gold and silver.
TGR: In addition to buying bullion, investors can participate in the equities through the mining companies.
RM: An investor has to be pretty careful with the equities. A lot of people are claiming we are at the bottom. Yes, there are companies with good management teams on sale, but if this is the bottom, what would start the general junior market upward climb?
"Investors should look for companies that can increase cash flow or companies close to cash flow that can raise the money to jump the final hurdles."
In my opinion, we will need a huge discovery, but with no initial public offerings (NYSEARCA:IPO) this year and with the financing well bone dry, where will the upside come from? We are approaching the summer doldrums. Traditionally, the juniors shine in late August through March. How can that happen this year? No money means no drill programs. No discoveries means no returning interest in the sector. For most of these companies, 2013 is a write-off.
If you see a company doing a financing, it usually is for less than $500,000, what I call survival financings. Investors need to be very smart and very cautious. A company doing survival financing will use the money to keep the lights on, keep its listing current and pay salaries, but not do much on its properties.
We just had the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada conference, where everybody tried to get everything arranged: money, financing, deals, But Q1/13 is over; companies must file their quarterly reports. They have to have a year's worth of General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in the treasury to stay on the TSX or risk becoming insolvent. Hundreds of these mining companies do not. Depending on what the auditors say, that might deliver even more bad news this summer and fall when the TSX may very well be delisting or suspending 20 or 30 companies a week.
If you believe precious metals, particularly silver, are a good investment, you have to become a stock picker. You have to cut through the noise and understand what is important. Right now, that is money in the bank or cash flow from operations.
TGR: With so many companies in dire straits, why would an investor buy any stock in the sector right now?
RM: We can start with the context of silver production in the U.S.The U.S. has several historic primary silver districts. Most of them were shut down in the bear markets of the 1980s and 1990s. Today, most silver production in the U.S. is a byproduct of copper and gold mining, both of which, in the U.S., are in decline.
"The essence of investing in a junior is you are investing in people."
Primary silver deposits are extremely rare; less than a third of the silver mined globally comes from primary silver mines. The average yield of the top primary silver miners dropped 34% between 2005 and 2011. It was even worse in 2012. Silver grades are actually declining. For proof, just compare the average ore grade for the year of production to the prior year's reserve average ore grade. Most silver mines today are producing their best stuff, yet over the last seven years, ore grades have dropped more than 40%.
There are real supply issues and people are snapping up silver as if it will run out tomorrow. Take the U.S. Silver Eagle. In Q1/13, its sales equaled 42% of total 2012 sales. And in 2012, U.S. mint silver coin sales surpassed the amount of physical silver mined in the U.S.
TGR: We have not seen a lot of new silver production in the U.S.
RM: Not much production and very few silver discoveries.
As a group, silver stocks have not experienced a sustained breakout to new highs since 2007, yet people are buying physical silver.
If you look at a 40-year correlation chart between silver and global national debt, the arrows point from the bottom left straight to the top right on the chart. I have no doubt debt will continue to climb.
TGR: If an investor owns silver bullion and wants to buy selected equities, what are some companies to look at?
RM: Let's talk about three companies: a producer and a brownfields developer, both in Mexico, and a junior with a greenfield project that has considerable upside potential.
Great Panther Silver Ltd. (GPR:TSX; GPL:NYSE.MKT) owns two silver mines in Guanajuato, Mexico, and has been increasing production. The company is unhedged-with no underlying royalties. In 2010, Great Panther produced 2.26 Moz silver equivalent (Ag eq). In 2012, production was 2.38 Moz. The 2013 forecast is a bit lower because the company spent a considerable amount of time and money on its mines and on two satellite operations for its main mine at Guanajuato. It put in underground haulage to get Guanajuato ore to the Cata processing plant. When all that is consolidated, I expect this company to start rewarding investors with vastly increased production.
TGR: Its stock had a big drop in March. What happened?
RM: The company was having cost and operational issues and there was a drought at its Topia mine.
TGR: Is the growth at Guanajuato or in the other exploration projects?
RM: San Ignacio has a 650 meter (650m) strike length out of a 4 kilometer (4km) potential on a vein system just 5km west of the Veta Madre structure that hosts the Guanajuato mine complex. Stepout drilling shows excellent silver and gold mineralization, 50-100m below surface. A shaft will not be needed; a ramp will do it. San Ignacio will be in production next year and can be monetized immediately to pay for its development. The ore can easily be trucked to the Guanajuato plant, and the two have similar metallurgy.
In addition, the company discovered higher-grade gold mineralization at Guanajuato last year. That will increase silver equivalent ounces with the serious gold kicker.
El Horcon is another Great Panther project. It is a silver-gold project in a past-producing underground mine with multiple veins. One vein, Diamantillo, is traceable on surface for more than 4km. The mineralization is compatible with the existing mill feed for Guanajuato.
Both San Ignacio and El Horcon show awesome potential for satellite feed deposits. We should see lower production costs and more throughput.
TGR: What is your brownfields name?
RM: It is Kootenay Silver Inc. (KTN:TSX.V). Its Promontorio project in Mexico has an NI-43-101-complaint resource with 69 Moz Ag eq; most of the resource is open pittable.
What most excites me here is the substantial gold component that has never been counted in the resource estimate. The company's metallurgical tests are showing that the gold might be economically recoverable.
I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations on reported gold assays. If there is 400,000 oz gold, even if it is only 50% recoverable, that is another 10 Moz Ag eq. The company will be sitting on 80 Moz Ag eq.
Kootenay will publish an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate to include the gold component.
TGR: On April 2, the stock was up 6% on three times volume without any kind of announcement.
RM: Kootenay had taken a hit just like a lot of quality companies; somebody is buying at very nice prices.
Kootenay is doing a 30,000m drill program; the company has three drills turning 24/7, and the money in the bank to pay for it. This is a company that will have news all summer long and another resource estimate after the drill program; watch for plus 100 Moz Ag Eq.
If you like the price of the company, you have to start chipping away at it and pick it up a bit at a time. A smart investor averages in over time.
TGR: And Mexico is a great address for silver.
RM: There is no geopolitical risk among my sponsors. There is enough risk in this sector without deliberately adding to it. You need geopolitically safe areas. You need quality management teams with experience. You need cash in the bank, and you need news flow.
TGR: What is the greenfields name?
RM: Terraco Gold Corp. (TEN:TSX.V) has one of my favorite management teams. Its Almaden project in Idaho is a 1 Moz gold heap-leach project. A lot of it is up on a mountain, and there is quite a bit of starter material laying around down below. When you need more you get a caterpillar and just push it down. Terraco is working behind the scenes on water testing and advancing to a production decision.
The company has $1.4M in its treasury.
Terraco's Moonlight project in Nevada lies at the north end of the Spring Valley joint venture between Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX:TSX; ABX:NYSE) and Midway Gold Corp. (MDW:TSX.V; MDW:NYSE.MKT), which is currently 3.5 Moz gold. The big question is whether that mineralization carries on to Terraco's Moonlight. It is the same trend, the same cover. That could put Moonlight into play for Terraco.
But I called Terraco a silver play. Andy Wallace and the late John Livermore's Cordilleran Resources Company (Cordex Exploration) optioned Moonlight to Terraco. John Livermore discovered the Carlin deposit; he discovered and developed the Pinson and Dee mines. Andy Wallace is credited with the major discovery of the Marigold and the Stonehouse/Lone Tree gold deposits and the Secret Pass mine. They are on the record as stating that they should never have sold Moonlight, not because of the gold, but the silver.
Moonlight has never been drilled. It got its name from the old-timers sneaking into the mine and stealing chunks of silver out of it at night. This is a greenfields property and two of the most respected names in Nevada exploration believe there is a silver mine here.
Terraco has a 2.5% royalty on the Barrick-Midway JV, Spring Valley, valued at perhaps $60-80M. Todd Hilditch, Terraco's CEO, could monetize that royalty. He could put Almaden in production and get that cash flow going. Then he could chase Livermore and Wallace's silver mine on Moonlight while it is in play from Barrick drilling. It brings a smile to my face to think that Hilditch could be in a position AGAIN to return this kind of value to shareholders.
TGR: The royalty derisks the stock in a sense.
RM: Yes. Who else has a royalty on a Barrick deposit? But Todd does not want Terraco to be a royalty company. He seems to want to monetize the royalty, put Almaden into production and look for a silver mine on the Moonlight property.
TGR: Rick, thank you for helping our readers understand the silver space a little better and giving them some ways to invest selectively in equities. Do you have any parting thoughts?
RM: Investors should look for companies that can increase cash flow or companies close to cash flow that can raise the money to jump the final hurdles.
We are not buying these companies for instant riches. We are listening to experienced management teams laying out their plans, their vision for the future. If you believe what they are saying, if you believe they can carry it off, if you believe the market will reward them for that-buy in.
Then, trust in them. Go live your life. Check in once in a while to monitor progress. As long as things are going according to plan, life is good. That is the essence of investing in a junior-you are investing in people.
TGR: That is also the basic difference between investing and speculating. You are investing in a hard asset that exists and in a group you think can monetize it. That seems a lot easier than just playing the market ups and downs on any given day.
RM: I agree. It is a lot less stressful and more profitable. Invest in the people and their ideas, then let them go to work and get on with your life.
People do not understand that you only need to get paid once off an investment. If it takes two or three years, fine. You can have several of these things going at once, and get paid every year from one or the other.
The markets will hand you setbacks. There is no sense in crying and whining about it. Not everything goes up in a straight line. Not everything works out the way we plan, but with a little bit of patience, things will work out. Just have a little bit of patience and enjoy yourself.
TGR: I like that. Rick, thank you for your time and your insights.

I'm not fond of it, but it was bestowed to me by my mother, and so I keep it as a token of my gratitude and Love for her.
Here's a clue: "The Brady Bunch." What do YOU think?
Do you dislike Danial because its a nonstandard spelling?
Meh. My real name is Ray/Raymond. Gay rhymes with Ray. All names pretty much rhyme with something silly.
Some days I like it, others not so much lol.

Please critique this, i'd like to know if it's good enough for a shirt
Hi! My point is this: you need to practise the cut a lot, the borders are irregular, but you have a good imagination, the composition is original, good job!
I echo that sentiment. This would be a really sweet design if your edges were more crisp. Have you considered using curves to clip and color your images? It might help smooth things out.
No I haven't but thank you for the input!

Left Justified: Earth Day remembrance of Rod Myers
By Stanley Campbell
I hate hospitals. Let me rephrase that. I dislike going into hospitals, even to visit sick friends. So, when my friend Chris suggested visiting Rod Myers in Intensive Care, I reluctantly went. But only because I loved Rod.
I first met Mr. Myers at Rock Valley College. Rod was a wheelchair-bound long-haired hippie radical environmentalist back in the '70s. He introduced himself as, "I'm one of Jerry's gimps" (meaning Jerry Lewis, who does a telethon for muscular dystrophy).
Rod had a wicked sense of humor, as well as a joyful way of sticking his nose into whatever issue he wanted. His first concern was mobility, as anyone strapped in a chair and dependent upon ramps and elevators would be. Rod was not afraid to make his needs known. He encouraged curb cuts where once a new sidewalk had gone. The college acquiesced, and is better for it, as well as the city.
Though he demanded more pavement for wheelchair accessibility, his greatest love was wild places. Wherever he lived, he had a patch of prairie growing that he cultivated and kept an eye on. He could name all the birds and plants that, to me, just looked like weeds and flying mice.
Now, he was fighting for his life, and it looked like he was losing.
His Baptist brother had laid a real heavy load on him to "come to Jesus." But Rod did not like the fundamentalist view of nature. I leaned over Rod and said that Christ loved the earth, and was more of an environmentalist than his conservative followers. "When you see Him, ask for more activists down here," I said.
I don't want to remember Rod in that hospital room, dying. Rather, I like to think he just rode down the path at Severson Dells and never returned.
I'd like to dedicate the following announcement to Rod's memory: "Faith at the End of Your Fork," a day-long workshop program, will be from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday April 28, at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 1829 N. Rockton Ave., Rockford, across from West Middle School. Registration is $10 and $10 for a healthy lunch.
Keynote speaker Anna Lappe wrote Diet for a Hot Planet as a sequel to her mother's (Frances Moore Lappe) Diet for a Small Planet. Anna connects the dots between diet and climate change, and, thus, shares personal, local, national and international food justice issues.
Workshops include information about Food and Faith ("My Spiritual Journey as a Vegetarian," "To Tithe: Plant Row," "Bread in Empire: The Lord's Prayer"); Food Practicum ("Starting Your Own Garden," "Shopping at a Farmers' Market," "Purchasing Faithful Meals"); and Food Justice Workshops ("How to Lobby for Food Justice," "The Meatrix"), to name a few. Registration is $10, and an organic lunch will be provided for a $10 donation.
Sponsors include the Justice and Witness Committee of the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ, Vegetarians in Motion, Rockford Urban Ministries, Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, the United Church of Byron, Bread for the World — Rockford, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church and Spring Creek United Church of Christ.
For more information and to register, please contact Michael Mulberry, United Church of Byron, (815) 234-8777; e-mail: email@example.com. Stay healthy and live a long and prosperous life.
Stanley Campbell is executive director of Rockford Urban Ministries and spokesman for Rockford Peace & Justice.

In mid-June, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta took a seat in front of the Senate defense appropriations subcommittee and warned of the dangers of large, across-the-board reductions in national military spending. Panetta called such cuts "a disaster" that would severely compromise American security.
The Secretary is right. Even in times of severe fiscal challenges, the government needs to keep financing military development programs that genuinely enhance the safety and efficacy of our American soldiers. Blind penny-pinching puts their lives at risk. Officials should identify particularly promising projects and focus their dollars on them. Keep reading →

TIFF Awards Brunch, Or 'But I Saw So Many Movies!'
Little known factoid: I actually don't like hearing about festival awards IF I attended said festival. Unless I'm on a jury of course. Invariably it makes you feel like a lightweight no matter how many movies you sat through because it's impossible to have seen everything when 100s of films are on offer. I saw 25 films over 8 days of screening or basically 3 a day (since I had to make time for writing / parties / eating / sleeping) and it looks like I saw only one of the films that won a prize at TIFF.
Here are the awards...
PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD -This is the biggie and the only one that people use as any kind of Oscar barometer. It went to the Weinstein Company's The Imitation Game. That's the only award winner that I saw and I liked it, particularly the WW II story at the center. I didn't see it at a public screening though so I couldn't gauge the reaction. Of the public screenings I attended its chief Oscar rival at the fest The Theory of Everything definitely had the biggest freak-out reaction from the crowd. Learning to Drive (with Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley) and St. Vincent (with Bill Murray) were the runners up for this most coveted prize.
TRIVIA MADNESS: The previous 36 winners of this prize have gone on to a collective 122 Oscar nominations and 47 wins... so if The Imitation Game is an average English language performer as far as the winners go it can expect a handful of Oscar nominations. Of those 36 previous winners, 11 went on to Best Picture nominations with 5 of them winning.

Managing Melanoma in the Era of Molecular Testing and Targeted Therapy: A Q&A With Ragini Kudchadkar, MD
Published Online: Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Ragini Kudchadkar, MD
Oncology & Biotech News: What is the current approach to molecular testing in melanoma?
Dr. Ragini Kudchadkar: Outside of clinical trials, the testing that needs to be done is for patients who have a chance at targeted therapy. I think that BRAF mutational status is primarily the test that's being done, and it's being done primarily in stage IV disease. However, most of us believe that for a very high-risk patient with stage IIIc disease it's reasonable to test them, as their risk of reoccurrence is very high, and in some populations almost 70% will reoccur. Many people get frustrated at the delay when it can take a week, even 2 weeks to get test results back, and when you have a metastatic patient who is sick, it's nice to know upfront. However, I would not recommend testing patients with very early-stage disease who are likely to be cured with surgery alone.
Game Changers: Novel Agents for the Treatment of Advanced Melanoma
Agent | Trade Name | Mechanism | Approval Date |
ipilimumab | Yervoy | anti-CTLA-4 antibody | March 25, 2011 |
vemurafenib | Zelboraf | BRAF inhibitor | August 17, 2011 |
dabrafenib | Tafinlar | BRAF inhibitor | May 29, 2013 |
trametinib | Mekinist | MEK inhibitor | May 29, 2013 |
dabrafenib + trametinib | Tafinlar/ Mekinist | BRAF/MEK inhibitor | January 8/9, 2014 Action Date on FDA Priority Review |
With melanoma, it's a whole different ballgame now where people have multiple different options and you're able to tailor the options depending on their goals of therapy, depending on quality of life, and Managing Melanoma in the Era of Molecular Testing and Targeted Therapy A Q&A With Ragini Kudchadkar, MD depending on symptomatology from their disease. It also means there are more and more patients who are long-term survivors. Melanoma used to be a universally fatal disease, and now we have more and more patients where it's becoming a chronic disease, where they're seeing us in follow-up but they're living years with their disease. It has just really changed the landscape of melanoma and given patients a lot more options.
The BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and the MEK inhibitor trametinib were approved as single agents and combination use of the drugs is being evaluated under the FDA's priority review program. What is the therapeutic rationale for combined BRAF/MEK inhibition?

sperm doesn't mix with malibu too well
You must be Logged in to post a comment
It does mix well but the Malibu has to be really cold and the sperm has to be at least 98.6 degrees. Mix and drink quickly. It's called the baby dodger.
False. You just gotta chug the Malibu.
410 w00t!
No but sounds like sperm mixes well with you
I would believe not.
Oj does too
Just throw up on the black guy - Soviet Russian
Something about dead sperm and Malibu floating around in my stomach just makes this sick. You got the shit end of the stick my friend.
I didn't think it was too bad of a combination. I'd take it over sperm and patron any day.
Learn to take the sperm straight up
This is so fake and really stupid. Sounds like you are a big sllllluuuut.
No but pineapple juice does
You're supposed to just swallow it. Not mix it in your drink
Joey? Is that you?
And this is why Baltimore has such high STD ears. Ahh it's scary I live here!

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Matsugen Restaurant Review: Jean-Georges Vongerichten's affection for the Far East somehow shows up in all of his restaurants by way of carved teak furniture or exotic spices. Now, in teaming up with the Matsushita brothers, who run the well-known chain of Matsugen restaurants in Japan, JGV pioneers "soba cuisine" in TriBeCa. This time, though, the master chef leaves the cooking to the originators, so that every detail in the New York re-creation stays painstakingly true to its Japanese roots. The vast room is intimately compartmentalized, bento box-style. The homemade tofu, served cold and dressed in soy dashi, refreshes with a creamy texture that causes diners to swear off supermarket blocks for good. Expertly executed vegetable tempura---light, crispy, without a trace of errant oil---highlight seasonal delights such as the pleasantly mellow zucchini flowers and sweet baby corn. But the real draw here are the three specialty varieties of soba: Rin (ground with no husk), Seiro (medium husk), and the husk-heavy Inaka. The smooth Seiro stands out: served cool, it mingles blissfully with a hot, rich duck soup for dipping. The $48 otoro tataki brings the only disappointment, however, with an unpleasantly fishy aftertaste that doesn't live up to the price tag's promise. Nevertheless, the otherwise exquisite fish comes from Tokyo's Tsukiji market, the dinnerware from the city's Kappabashi district, and the know-how from characteristic Japanese attention to detail. |

Analysing differences in clinical outcomes between hospitals. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12897358 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: To examine the variation between hospitals in rates of severe intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) in preterm babies adjusting for case mix and sampling variability. DESIGN: Cross sectional study of pooled data from 1995 to 1997. SETTING: 24 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network. PARTICIPANTS: 5413 infants of gestational age 24-30 weeks. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Crude rates of severe (grades 3 and 4) IVH and rates adjusted for case mix using logistic regression, and for sampling variability using shrinkage estimators. RESULTS: The overall rate of severe IVH was 6.8%, but crude rates for individual units ranged from 2.9 to 21.4%, with interquartile range (IQR) 5.7-8.1%. Adjusting for the five significant predictor variables--gestational age at birth, 1 minute Apgar score, antenatal corticosteroids, transfer after birth, and sex--actually increased the variability in rates (IQR 5.9-9.7%). Shrinkage estimators, which adjust for differences in unit sizes and outcome rates, reduced the variation in rates (IQR 6.3-7.5%). Adjusting for case mix and using shrinkage estimators showed that one unit had a significantly higher adjusted rate than expected, while another was significantly lower. If all units could achieve an average rate equal to the 20th centile (5.74%), then 60 cases of severe IVH could be prevented in a 3 year period. CONCLUSIONS: The use of shrinkage estimators may have a greater impact on the variation in outcomes between hospitals than adjusting for case mix. Greater reductions in morbidity may be achieved by concentrating on the best rather than the worst performing hospitals. |

Amazon is offering a digital music locker, ahead of Apple and Google, but experts say the service is legally ambiguous.
Google Inc. (GOOG) is looking to snaffle up music-streaming service Songza for $15 million, according to the New York Post, which cited two anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
TechCrunch submits: By David Porter
Our smartphones have already become our de facto camera, music player, navigational device and personal assistant. Now Silicon Valley wants to make them our wallet, too. Several tech firms have spent the last few years trying to convince consumers their phone is a more convenient payment method than cash or plastic. Most shoppers have balked. But on Monday, Apple is entering the fray, and experts say that could be a turning point for the long-hyped mobile payments industry.
Erick Schonfeld submits: Apple (AAPL) is furiously negotiating with the record labels to finalize deals which will allow it to stream music from the Internet to mobile devices (iPhones, iPads, iPods) and computers.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is looking to step up efforts to improve editorial content focusing on music and pop culture. This report comes following recent reports that suggest that Apple is looking to unveil a new music subscription service, which could see iTunes Radio and Beats Music merging and deeply integrating with the OS that is currently in development, iOS 8.4.
When Jeff Bezos left his job in finance and moved to Seattle 20 years ago to start a new firm, he rented a house with a garage, as that was where the likes of Apple and HP had been born. Although he started selling books, he called the firm Amazon because a giant river reflected the scale of his ambitions.

BROWNCollection: AFP 2010 AFPThis March 17, 2010 illustration in Beijing shows China's 100 Yuan, or Renminbi, notes, the largest denomination in Chinese currency. The World Bank has urged China to let its currency rise to contain inflation and stop the economy overheating, predicting that growth will gallop ahead at 9.5 percent this year. China is facing growing international pressure, particularly from the United States, to let the yuan appreciate but Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's insisted over the weekend that Beijing would resist any foreign pressure for a stronger yuan, currently pegged within a narrow range at about 6.8 to the US dollar.

Kandinsky 1911-1913 - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Date: 06/25/12 through 04/25/13
Description: Perhaps more than any other 20th-century painter, Vasily Kandinsky (b. 1866, Moscow; d. 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) has been closely linked to the history of the Guggenheim Museum. Hilla Rebay--artist, art advisor, and the museum's first director--promoted nonobjective painting above all other forms of abstraction. She was particularly inspired by the work and writing of Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstraction, who believed that the task of the painter was to convey his own inner world, rather than imitate the natural world. The museum's holdings have grown to include more than 150 works by Kandinsky, and focused exhibitions of his works are presented in the Kandinsky Gallery on Annex Level 3. The current installation, Kandinsky 1911-1913, highlights paintings completed at the moment the artist made great strides toward complete abstraction and published his aesthetic treatise, On the Spiritual in Art (1911, though dated 1912). Also featured are paintings by Robert Delaunay and Franz Marc that were exhibited alongside the work of Kandinsky and others in the landmark 1912 Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) exhibition held at the Moderne Galerie Heinrich Thannhauser in Munich.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Our take on a wheat based IPA. We started with a Wit style beer and then added just over 30 lbs of hops. Unfiltered, the beer is off white in color with a white head. Strong citrus notes on the nose leading into a slightly sweet taste, then finishing with the hop bitterness characteristic of an American IPA.
