"Coalition for E85" Wants a New Tax Break for Ethanol

E85 will be much more expensive than normal fuels without a new tax credit according to the coalition
The tax rebate on ethanol fuels is set to expire at the end of this year. This will vanquish the tax credit that allowed ethanol producers in the U.S. to export as much or more of the fuel to other countries than was used in American fuel tanks. Steven Rattner stated in a piece written for the
, "Because of the subsidy, ethanol became cheaper than gasoline, and so we sent 397 million gallons of ethanol overseas last year. America is simultaneously importing costly foreign oil and subsidizing the export of its equivalent."
exporting of ethanol
is one of the reasons the tax break on ethanol is ending.
With the deadline looming for the tax credit, a coalition is forming to get federal tax law amended to allow E85 to get a tax cut. The new group will be called the Coalition for E85 and it is specific in that it isn't out to get the tax credit back for E10. The coalition will let that tax expire with no fight from its members, but it wants the E85 blend to gain a new tax cut or the coalition warns the days of E85 might be numbered.
The blenders that make E10 fuel that is in wide use, and is a mix of 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded are getting a 4.5-cent-per-gallon tax credit. E85 is getting a credit of 38.25 cents per gallon under the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit or VEECT. This is the tax that expires in December.
What the coalition is seeking is a change that would allow the E85 blend to receive the Alternative Fuel Credit (AFC). E85 was excluded from the AFC originally to keep it from being able to qualify for both the VEECT and the AFC credits. With the VEETC being discontinued, the makers want E85 to now get the AFC credit to allow the E85 fuel to maintain closer price parity with normal fuels for consumers that drive Flexi Fuel Vehicles. Flexi Fuel Vehicles or FFVs are able to burn regular gasoline and E85.
The coalition is trying to raise $75,000 to hire a Washington lobby group to speak on its behalf.

If you want to know one of the real disappointments of the Rangers' current position it's that with football over and with spring training a few weeks away, hockey has suddenly reappeared on people's radars.
Take a random practice like today at the MSG Training Center, where it wasn't just myself and the usual core of beat guys, but a few extra camera crews, and even a handful of reporters from the Czech Republic who are busy preparing a three-volume biography on the life and times of Marek Malik (OK, not really, but they were here).
For at least a little while, the Rangers have a share of the sports stage. The question is what they intend to do with it.
And that's especially relevant now given that there are eight games left before the Feb. 27 trade deadline. All along the assumption has been the Rangers will be making moves to upgrade, but as Glen Sather told Larry Brooks at the Post, the idea of the team becoming sellers hasn't been ruled out, either.
Naturally, it would likely require a tank job of the first order — even worse than what we've already seen — but according to Jaromir Jagr, the memories of the 2004 sell-off alone should serve as incentive.
"That was awful. It was not easy to play that way," Jagr said. "I hope that's not going to be the issue this year. We have a good schedule. We're not far off, six points, and 28 games is still more than a third of the season. That's a lot. So it's a different situation than a few years ago. So I just hope we're going to be in the race after eight games."
Aaron Ward, who could conceivably be one of the veterans discarded if the Rangers move fall further out of the playoff picture, said a sell-off isn't a concern yet.
"I think that upper management is operating under the assumption that we can make the playoffs and go from there," Ward said. "I think the philosophy is how to better the team and not dismantle it."
Some updates:
"This was certainly an upgrade to our lineup," Renney said. "In retrospect after his first game it's one of those things where you'd like to have done it a little bit earlier."
"It was more making sure we had room for Sean and getting Colton in the lineup," he said. "Cam didn't do what he usually does and maybe it was because Colton was in the lineup. Those are the decisions coaches have to make in order to win. It's always at the expense of someone but it really doesn't go further than that."
OK, apologies on the long post. More later…

Also, I would hope that we will only use System.getProperty in those bootstrap classes, for others, it is better to use the similar changes in Deployer class, with this, we could have an isolated layer there, maybe in the future, we could read the some configurations for other places, not from the System properties.
I just uploaded a patch file to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5813, to make the changes looks more clear, only important part of my local changes are included. The most changes are :a. Update the schema to allow configure properties in the environment segments.b. A PropertyContext chain will created for target application, it is something like child-first classloadering, and the default property context is System.getProperties(), with this, we could have global/application scope configurations.c. PropertyContext GBean will be added for each module, so that all other GBeans would use that to determine the behavior.d. A PropertyDefinition GBean will be created for each property, with that, I am thinking that we could have a portlet to list all the available property configurations for the server, and also, we could allow users to input some application-level configurations while deploying the applications.I would appreciate someone could help to review those changes and drop some comments :-)--2012/3/2 David Jencks <firstname.lastname@example.com>
I'm not sure I understand the value of the global properties. Wouldn't you get the same effect by turning off the appropriate module builder or module builder extension? or in some cases a gbean?For applications, if I understand correctly, even if we had single-pass annotation scanning, this could be useful to indicate that an implementation bundled in the application should be used rather than the one supplied by geronimo? I think that is a sufficiently valuable use case so I'm in favor of this idea. I guess if we're going to have application level properties like this then having global ones as well makes sense even if they are redundant.thanksdavid jencksOn Mar 1, 2012, at 6:57 PM, Ivan wrote:A JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5813 has been opened in the past, will work on the things with it.

Better yet if these can be configured via the portlet.
IUCC, those properties are only for deployment time use, it's not for server runtime use. So no need to add them to the command line scripts, or consolidate them into a configuration file.
Once they are implemented, some documents are sure to be added.
If Geronimo is to be used in a web server farm of dozens of nodes, there needs to be a way to remotely administer all properties. And if all properties can be setup in a config file and no longer need to be passed on the command line, this would enhance the ability for remote administration. The goal being the administrator never has to login to the server to deploy new Geronimo instances and administer them.

Hi, I am thinking to try to implement this feature in the coming 3.0-beta-2,this.name <http://this.name> = name;
the rough idea is that
a. update our schema file to include things like :
b. Have a PropertyDefintion GBean in geronimo-system module to describe the
property, the class may something like :
public class PropertyDefintion<T> {
private String name;
private Type type;
private String description;
private String[] parentPropertyNames;
private String[] allowedValues;
public PropertyDefintion(String name, String type, String description,
String[] parentPropertyNames, String[] allowedValues) {
2011/2/14 Ivan <firstname.lastname@example.com <mailto:email@example.com>>
this.type = Type.valueOf(type);
this.description = description;
this.parentPropertyNames = parentPropertyNames;
this.allowedValues = allowedValues;
3. May also have a PropertyContext GBean for each application, which is used to
hold those configurations.
4. I have some property names in mind, including
org.apache.geronimo.webservice.support : The deployed application will not
use any webservice related stuff.
org.apache.geronimo.webservice.client.support : Need to inject some
service ref for this
org.apache.geronimo.webservice.server.support : Have SEI in the deployed
org.apache.geronimo.ejb.support : No ejb component there, with this
configured with false, there is no need to annotation scanning in some
scenarios, e,g, while deploying a web application.
org.apache.geronimo.jsf.support ......
org.apache.geronimo.jaxrs.support ......
The most reason for this is that :
a. Geronimo is suffering from bad experience from long long long deployment
time, especially for those big application with many jar files. One of the major
reason is that, there are too many annotation scanning there, and so far we did
not have a uniform annotation scanning framework. With those options above, it
is possible to ignore some process steps. e.g. if
org.apache.geronimo.jsf.support is configured false, then MyFacesModuleBuilder
will not do anything.
b. From the user list, I saw some guys try to use other java ee providers, like
using cxf for webservice, use ri jsf implementation. Now, we may need to stop
the related deployer to avoid some problems.
c. There are some existing configurations here and there in Geronimo codes, all
of them are server scope.
For the OSGi integration side, so far, I did not have much idea for this. Maybe,
we could make those configurations visible in the Configuration instance of the
config admin server ???
Any comment for this ?
2011/2/14 David Jencks <firstname.lastname@example.com <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>>
JSF issue is just an example, as I find a user fire a JIRA for it. The root
reason is that we use system property everywhere in the geronimo codes,
which is of global scope. Once we want to change the behavior, all the
components are affected. And it would be better to have other scope
configurations, like deployment scope, which means the configuration is only
for current application deployment process. We might also have application
scope configurations, which might be effect for the specified application.
Also, I think that we need this function even when we move to a gbean-free
geronimo, and yes, I agree that the solution now might not applicable in the
future. But, do we have a plan for the gbean-free kernel ?
Hi Ivan,
If I understand your proposal this is what you can currently do in a
maven geronimp plugin project in the car-maven-plugin configuration
where you specify which deployers to start.
I think this makes sense but I'd rather wait to implement it until we
know more what a gbean-free geronimo would look like. I suspect that
anything we do now would be obsolete later.
Would there be any confusion if you had a web app you wanted to deploy
on either jetty or tomcat but that included its own jsf? Currently you
could use the same plan for your jetty or tomcat server but I think
you'd need separate plans for your proposal. I think this is a minor
problem that should not block this idea.

After a gap of 18 months, the clock at St Mary's, Carleton, is once again keeping time for the village.
The historic tower clock was designed and built by local man Billy Cryer in 1833 and was once installed in the old church which stood on the site of the present St Mary's.
It had stopped working because, over the years, three of the teeth had come loose on a vital escape wheel. The mechanism had to be carefully dismantled and the escape wheel taken away for repair.
The clock movement was also thoroughly cleaned and polished before final re-assembly.
And two automatic winding units were installed to save villagers the onerous job of winding the clock every few weeks.
The work cost about £8,000, but thanks to the generosity of villagers, the fundraising efforts of the congregation and the support of the parish council, the old clock is ticking again.

Are you ready to try your hand at fixing some crock pot pork roast?
Yes, I thought so.
Today's, pot roast recipe is easy as pie. All you'll really need is a slow cooker and basic ingredients that you probably already have on-hand, minus the pork tenderloin.
Unlike most crock pot recipes for pot roast, I recommend browning the pork tenderloin on the stove top before placing it in the crock pot.
As a result, you'll introduce additional flavor into the recipe that will really make a big difference, improving texture and taste.
Best part of all, is that you can set this recipe up before hand and with proper timing you can have the recipe complete and ready to eat whenever you want.
I've often set the recipe before leaving home and setting my timer to complete cooking just before I return home. This way I can enjoy a delicious meal after work without having to lift a finger to prepare dinner.

Essentials of Sterilizing Grade Filter Validation
Product ID: 701654
Training Level: Intermediate
- Duration: 75 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: email@example.com
This webinar on sterilizing grade filter validation will describe the essential requirements and steps for process validation of sterilizing grade filters. It will discuss multiple guidance documents in regard to sterilizing grade filtration and their interpretation.
Why Should You Attend:
Sterilizing filtration, utilizing membrane filter often of 0.2 micron rating, are critical in aseptic processing. Since biologic drug products are on the rise, which cannot be heat sterilized, aseptic processing and the use of sterilizing grade filters are gaining importance. Filter manufacturers are able to supply filter qualification data, but these results are established under specific lab conditions. To be able to determine the filters performance in the application settings, appropriate process validation (a regulatory requirement) needs to be performed by the end-user of the filter.
This webinar will describe filter qualification activities performed by the filter manufacturer and the resulting data. It will also touch on the guidances mentioned, such as the FDA Aseptic Processing Guidance of 2004, EC cGMP Annex 1 and the PDA's Technical Report #26, 2008, and the requirements set within. The presenter will follow this with a detailed, step by step description of process validation needs and why these steps are of importance.
Learning Objectives:
Webinar participants will learn about
- The essential requirements of process validation of sterilizing grade filters.
- The details of individual process validation activities.
- The "must have's" of process validation of filters.
- The difference between qualification and process validation.
- Multiple guidance documents in regard to sterilizing grade filtration, the value of the guidances and the interpretation of it.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- Introduction.
- Filter Qualification.
- Guidances.
- Process Validation:
- Viability test.
- Bacteria Challenge test
- Chemical compatibility
- Adsorption analysis
- Extractables analysis
- Particulates Product-wet integrity testing
- Other evaluations
- Conclusion.
- Questions & Answers.
Who will Benefit:
The following individuals or disciplines will benefit from attending this Webinar:
- Validation management
- Quality assurance and control
- Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processing and manufacturing
- Process development
- Regulatory and Compliance Management
- Consultants
Manufacturers of sterile filters will benefit from this training too.

Mr. Jornitz received his M.Eng. in Bioengineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg, Germany and accomplished his PED at the IMD Business School, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Topic Background:
Sterilizing filtration, utilizing membrane filter often of 0.2 micron rating, are critical in aseptic processing. As soon as heat sterilization cannot be used or bioburden requires to be reduced before heat sterilization, sterilizing grade filters are installed to remove the microbial burden.
To be able to determine the filters performance in the application settings, appropriate process validation requires to be performed by the end-user of the filter. Process validation takes the fluid to be filtered into consideration and the process parameters, used during filtration. Process validation is not only a regulatory requirement, but creates assurance that the filter used is of right choice and performs as expected. Regulatory guidance documents, like the FDA Aseptic Processing Guidance of 2004 and EC cGMP Annex 1 describe filter validation requirements, the most thorough though being PDA's Technical Report #26, 2008.

From parenting problems (see editorial above) we move seamlessly to parenting
A 37-year-old Augusta woman largely confined to a bed by prescription drugs is now charged with allowing her 2-year-old son to wander off and drown in a pool at the home March 21.
Prosecutors say Lisa Stocker took 10 prescription drugs that day, and stayed in bed most days. She woke up enough about 5:30 a.m. to yell from her bed to get her older sons going to school – and then had to be awakened close to 9 a.m. by a neighbor who noticed her two dogs loose. Eventually, the 2-year-old also was discovered missing, and was found at the bottom after the murky pool was drained.
Elsewhere in Augusta Sunday, officials said a couple was taken into custody after a 5-month-old was found dead at their "deplorable" mobile home. The infant, who lived with four siblings – 1, 3, 5 and 6 – also had bite marks in various stages of healing, authorities said.
Aileen Wright, 26, and the father of the infant and the 1-year-old, Nicholas Womack Sr., 24, were taken into custody and charged with cruelty to children in the second degree and four counts of deprivation of a minor.
Self-indulgence and neglect of children is a toxic mix – and all too common today.

Re-sizing brass foul up
So I've been doing massive .308 Winchester brass preperation and reloading lately as I can get primers powder and grain weight bullets for my loads. I have near a 33 gallon garbage can of once fired .308 Winchester and 7.62X51mm. brass I've been saving since 1992.
I'll decap. vibratory clean, inspect, measure, trim (when necessary), de-burr fire slot and neck,and vibratory clean again 500 to 600 rounds of brass at a time. Quite a long term project especially when I'm shooting up my reload ammo at the range.
Reguardless, the last batch of brass I resized, in about the last 120 peices of brass resized, the die must have got a small piece of dirt or grime in it and lightly scratched the shoulder of the brass I resized. (my bad)
I resized one other piece of brass after I found it out and it was scratched the same way. I then thouroughly cleaned the die and the next piece of brass was perfect.
I'm tempted to destroy these resized shells, but would really rather not do so if I dont have to. The scratch in the shoulder is barely noticeable with a fingernail and I dont see any shoulder height anomolies with a dial indicator guage as I measure around the shoulder of the case.
I've never had this happen to me before and it is my fault and I am somewhat stumped what to do with these scratched on the shoulder pieces of resized brass.
So the question is: Should I pinch these pieces of scratched brass with a pair of pliers and throw away? Or: Should I finish reloading them and shoot them?
I think if I reload they will be junk for accuracy.
Such a scratch would have to be really deep to matter.
As long as it is shallow you should be good to go. If you want to cull them then do it. Me I would keep them because brass is spendy now days...
A scratch in the shoulder shouldn't affect accuracy or function - I've shot dented brass with no ill effects, in fact firing removed the dent. If it's dented to the point where the case is even slightly distorted I would junk it, otherwise you should be fine.
Cases are good, double checked dimensions in all critical areas, have reloaded them and shot 80 of them off in my Springfield M1A yesterday. No problems.
Thanks guys for the input. Never had scratched brass before.
Have resized another 400 rounds, no scratches. Will reload these Saturday and Sunday.
If you get tired of all that work just send your cases to me...:D
I'm into this accuracy reloading, resizing brass to fit COAL to sloulder and seating the bullets to the throat, naturally with some clearance. It's a bit difficult for the M1A.
Reguardless, I want him to learn how to reload like this. This is his start.
The Springfield M1A is a troublesome rifle to reload for and this is the only .308 Win. rifle I have. I've been pushing the limits reloading for this rifle especially in the muzzle velocities I'm developing for it. Im working against "Slam Fire" and gas pressure issues with this action.
This rifle is shooting steel at 200, 300, and 500 yards now and I'm up against bolt rifle guys. They have the advantage. So far not so bad. A new Krieger barrel is in the works for this rilfe. Then all the bullet to throat space will be different.
The .300 Win. Mag. Remmy 700 target rifle for 1000 yard, I'm having built, won't be done until December this year and experiminting on this M1A with my reloads is tuning me up for this rifle. There will never be any factory ammo in this rifle. Custom reloads for this rifle only. I will only be ably to compete in F-class open rifle (F-O) and not F-Class Target rifle (F-TR) with this .300 Win Mag. target rifle.
That being said; I've once again taken a simple reply and written a short novel.
Ooops! Sorry.
That's a great hobby to introduce your grandson to! It's quality time well spent and will pay dividends in the future as far as supporting our sport and heritage, as well as giving him the knowledge to defend himself, his freedoms, and his family, a knowledge all too few possess today, and even less will possess tomorrow. Maybe someday he'll inherit that piece of history you are reloading for. Both my son and daughter were exposed to shooting at ages 5 & 8 and I never had to worry about either of them doing anything foolish as a result. My son was a "Platoon High Shooter" in USMC bootcamp due to his exposure to guns and shooting at home growing up.

About MeI am a beginner model, brand new to this site and to modelling in general. To date, all of my pictures have been taken by my partner but I would like to build a portfolio of modelling pictures. Formerly I have been a dancer, in France (still have my accent), and that fluid movement and poise is something I believe shows through in my pictures.
I am interested in doing TFCD and some paid shoots depending on the shoot. That is my primary current goal with Model Mayhem.
You can contact me here on the site .
Thank you and I hope to be hearing from you soon!!!
** Due to family business I am the frequent visitor to Townsville and Cairns. I would be most happy to find find other models or photographers to shoot with in those areas**

A pile of waste is still blocking part of a road 48 hours after it was dumped by fly-tippers.
Flytippers dumped the rubbish in The Street, Ongar, between High Ongar Primary School and the junction with the A414, on Tuesday night.
Epping Forest District Council admitted staff had inspected the waste and said it is investigating, but insists it is not responsible for moving the debris.
It claims the county council's highways department is reponsible for the clear-up
A district council spokeswoman said: "If the rubbish is on the verge then we would usually clear it up but this is blocking the highway so we have contacted Essex County Council."
The county council has been approached for comment.

Bernanke's "Syrian Moment"
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's decision to go ahead with unabated quantitative easing (QE) seems to have taken many by surprise. To such an extent that, from now on, the major market participants are saying they have totally lost faith in Ben Bernanke. True, Ben Bernanke has been saying constantly, for the last four years, he would first taper and then end his QE plans, and then, at each FOMC meeting, he has been saying the opposite. The Fed has printed over $3Trillion since 2007.
At large, we can say that investors and other market participants do not trust Ben Bernanke anymore.
Ben Bernanke cannot and will not stop QE. On the contrary, he will add more to it soon because the markets and the banks' solvability are kept alive solely by this « quantitative easing ».
Why Bernanke Can't Stop QE
If the Fed were to end its asset purchases, interest rates would rise and all debt-related financial products would plunge, the derivatives bubble (an astronomical $638.7 Trillion, or 10 times global GDP according to the BIS) would explode, the banks would again become insolvent, and the U.S. bond market would collapse. And let's not forget the impact higher interest rates would have on real estate and consumption.
The G7, or the seven most industrialised countries, account for half of a world GDP that stands at $30Trillion. The debt of those seven countries amounts to $140Trillion. A simple 1% rise in interest rates would bring in an extra cost of $1.4Trillion.
In this context, Ben Bernanke cannot put an end to QE.
Ben Bernanke's "Syrian Moment"
There's a shocking parallel to be established with Barack Obama's loss of credibility with regards to the recent events surrounding Syria. A majority of countries have stopped having blind faith in the American government and its arguments and justifications for military intervention.
World public opinion is starting to ask serious questions about the real motives behind these wars of the last few years. Many countries, such as China and Russia, know very well that an intervention to de-stabilise Syria (just like in Irak and Lybia) has much more to do with saving the petrodollar than with chemical weapons which, by the way, the United States has been the first to use (Vietnam, Iran, Irak etc).
Sun Tzu was saying that « every war is a lie ». We are seeing that the countries which question the dollar's hegemony are being systematically declared « terrorist states », using fallacious arguments, these last years. But times are changing and the international leaders, those who have no interest in the dollar surviving, have blocked any intervention in Syria.
Both Ben Bernanke and Barack Obama have become totally defiant, these last weeks. This attitude brings and will bring radical consequences for the dollar and the international monetary system, which we know are built on... trust.
These two events are linked and should be understood as some attempts at imposing the US dollar as the world reserve currency and, thus, preserving this paper-money monetary system.
But the opposite is happening : the dollar is being rejected massively, there's a loss of global confidence in the dollar, and the United States is more and more isolated.
The actual un-declared war is one for the control of natural resources (natural gas and oil) but, above all, one for determining what currency will be used to trade these vital products (paper money or tangible assets).
Largely speaking, we are witnessing a fight between two « camps » : one, more and more isolated, defending a monetary system based on non-convertible paper money, and the other, not in a position to issue world reserve currency, wanting a monetary system based on real money that everyone trusts and that doesn't serve any country's particular interests : gold, that is.
By analysing these economic and geopolitical events while focusing on the dollar, one may better understand how these recent economic and geopolitical events are unfolding and anticipate the consequences of a collapse of the world reserve currency.
A Little Monetary Reminder
Gold has been used as money for as long as 5,000 years. We are living, since the closing of the « gold window » in 1971, through a unique monetary experiment in the history of mankind, since it's the first time that no currency is convertible into tangible assets anywhere in the world.
Let's recap : since 1971, we are shunning 5,000 years of human history, 5,000 years during which humanity has systematically revolved around forms of money based on gold, 5,000 years in the course of which every paper money experiment has always ended in its total loss of value.
It is amazing, today, to see that the majority of individuals have totally forgotten the need to own some money that can be converted into tangible assets. Those same people don't understand where this ravaging inflation that is destroying their purchasing power and leaves them poorer each year comes from.
The Petrodollar System
A paper-money system can only survive as long as its users have faith in and recognise the currency's capacity of maintaining its real value (purchasing power).
The moment this trust is broken, the system collapses. This is why the issuers of fiat money create a permanent demand for it, thus sustaining its non-convertible value (the value of paper currency is determined by supply and demand).
This permanent demand (sustaining the dollar value) is made possible by the fact that oil is being traded in dollars : that's the « petrodollar » system.
We understand the will of the United States and the proponents of the actual financial system of making mandatory that oil trade be made in dollars, but they will also go to great lengths in trying to ensure that no petroleum-producing country decides to sell its oil in a different currency... especially in gold, the real antithesis of all forms of paper money.
Irak wanted to sell its oil in euros, Libya in gold, and so did Iran (via Turkey). Russia wishes to sell its natural gas for some money that is not being created at a rate of $85Billion every month, which is destroying the purchasing power of its currency reserves. China will be paying its oil from Iran in Yuan, which I anticipate will eventually become convertible into gold.
The value of the world reserve currency and the exorbitant privilege of issuing it are being defended at all costs since 1971, whether by negotiated accords (notably with Saudi Arabia), by military intervention or by manipulation of the one asset reflecting the devaluation of the dollar : gold.
The Changing Monetary Paradigm
Three pillars of protection for the dollar are progressively crumbling right under our eyes :
A monetary paradigm change is happening right now. Ben Bernanke just experienced his "Syrian Moment", losing all credibility in the eyes of the remaining few.
Events are accelerating... at the speed at which the currencies' purchasing power is being destroyed.
What this change will bring, as 5,000 years of history have shown us, makes no doubt : a return to a gold standard, with gold at $7,000 an ounce, to avoid any deflationary crisis; and a monetary change imposed by the new world powers (ex-emerging countries) that never ceased acquiring large quantities of gold in anticipation of the collapse of the international monetary system, based on the dollar.
China has imported 517.92 tonnes of physical gold via Hong Kong in the first six months of 2013, and 116.4 tonnes in July. China, first global gold producer, exports not a single ounce of gold...
In August, Turkey's central bank acquired 23 tonnes of gold, Russia's 12.7 tonnes, and the central banks of Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan bought two tonnes each.

I believe there is a second app, or maybe a part of this one, to access Comcast's On Demand programming.
I could be wrong though,

Twas the week before Christmas, after a week of a recruiting circus,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a walrus.
The pads were all arranged and cleaned by the crews,
In hopes that the NCAA will come with some news.
The players were practicing, preparing for Gators ,
While stories were being told by those that are haters.
And with Sarah and her Twitter, I with my tweets,
Had just settled our brains for this year's defeats.
When out of nowhere came a bowl ban and some schollies,
I sprang to my computer and jumped my dog Holly.
Away to a new window I click on the tab,
Type in Elevenwarriors and gave enter a tap!
The gray box that appeared on the first page,
Gave the feeling of pain too much for my age.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a tad strong sanction, and comments "click here".
With a few harsh words, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment I was about to feel sick.
More rapid than eagles the cursing they came,
And we screamed, and shouted, and called them by names!
"Now Tressel! now, Smith! now, Pryor and Posey!
Come on, Boom! Come on, Hall! Stop imposing!
To the top of the BigTen! to the bottom of football!
Now go away! go away! go away all!" (all except Hall!)
As I dry heave with a bit of vomit in my throat,
The sugar in my coffee continues to float.
So down to the section I enjoy the most,
With the comments a coming, and Tressel to roast.
And then, in a twinkling, I read for some proof
That recruits will be staying and playing under our roof.
As I drew in my breath, and relaxed just a bit,
I realized that this was not that much of a hit.
One bowl ban in a year of growing,
Braxton Miller will develop his throwing.
A bundle of scholarships they will be losing,
Doesn't mean much, cuz 5 stars they are choosing.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his smile did so too!
His cheeks were like roses, when his passion came through!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
As he fired arrows of knowledge they should know.
"This team is a winner, you all see that,
Wouldn't you want a buckeye on your hat?
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his point,
"The NCAA loves us, they will not disappoint."
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
"I know something, you'll play in the Rose!"
So with that all said, screw the NCAA, And Gene smith too.
You both must hate us, and same back to you.
But most of all to my friends at EW,
"Happy Christmas to all, and no more Bollman to view!"

Seattle: Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Seattle qualified for the National Football League playoffs with victories while Minnesota's post-season bid was boosted with a surprise win over Houston.
Seattle joined Atlanta, San Francisco and Green Bay as National Conference qualifiers while Cincinnati and Indianapolis completed the American Conference playoff lineup that also includes Houston, Denver, Baltimore and New England.
Minnesota can capture one vacant spot with a victory next week at Green Bay while Dallas, despite an over-time loss Sunday, will travel to Washington next week to decide the other playoff spot for the NFC East division champion.
Rookie Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes to help Seattle to a 42-13 win over San Francisco, keeping the Seahawks (10-5) in the hunt for the NFC West crown and hurting the 49ers (10-4-1) in the race for a first-round playoff bye.
"It's unbelievable," Wilson said. "We've had a great year so far but it's only one step. We have a lot more to look forward to achieving."
Josh Brown's 43-yard field goal with four seconds remaining gave Cincinnati a 13-10 victory at Pittsburgh that clinched a playoff berth for the Bengals and left the Steelers sitting home after a fifth loss in six games.
The Bengals are in the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1981 and 1982.
"Huge team win," Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said. "It's exactly what we needed. Our defense played great, giving us good field position. Obviously there are areas we can improve, but it feels good to get the win."
Indianapolis rookie star Andrew Luck, the 2012 NFL Draft top pick, flipped a seven-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne to give the Colts a 20-13 win at Kansas City to secure a playoff spot.
The Colts were set to welcome back coach Chuck Pagano on Monday after he missed almost all of the season for leukemia treatments.
"Mission accomplished," interim Colts coach Bruce Arians said. "It's a fantastic feeling. Without getting emotional again, knowing that he's going to be back Monday, the work week shouldn't be as stressful."
Minnesota shocked host Houston 23-6, dropping the Texans to 12-3 and keeping them from clinching a home-field edge in the American Conference.
Adrian Peterson, the NFL season rushing leader, ran 25 times for 86 yards for the Vikings, leaving him 207 yards shy of the one-season NFL rushing record of 2,105 yards set by Eric Dickerson with the Los Angeles Rams in 1984.
If the Vikings falter, the reigning Super Bowl champion New York Giants and Chicago would have a chance to claim the playoff spot.
The Washington Redskins won their sixth game in a row with a 27-20 triumph at Philadelphia, improving to 9-6 to stay atop the NFC East division entering next weekend's showdown with Dallas, which lost 34-31 in over-time to visiting New Orleans to fall to 8-7.
Redskins rookie Robert Griffin III completed 16-of-24 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns despite playing with a brace on his sprained right knee after missing last week's victory at Cleveland.
Garrett Hartley's 20-yard field goal gave New Orleans a victory after Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes in the final 3:35 to lift Dallas level and force over-time.
The Redskins would claim their first division crown since 1999 with a home triumph over the Cowboys next Sunday.
A Dallas victory would leave both clubs 9-7 but Dallas would take the division on a tie-breaker of best record among common opponents. A loss would end the Cowboys' playoff hopes.
Charles Tillman returned an interception 10 yards for a touchdown and Zack Bowman scored on a one-yard fumble recovery return to power Chicago over Arizona 28-13, keeping the Bears in playoff contention.
Baltimore clinched the AFC North division crown with a 33-14 home triumph over the Giants, with Joe Flacco throwing for 309 yards and two touchdowns to dim New York's playoff hopes.
Peyton Manning threw for a season-high 339 yards and three touchdowns to lead Denver over Cleveland 34-12, stretching the Broncos' winning streak to 10 games.
Denver (12-3) and New England (11-4) remain within reach of Houston (12-3), but the Texans would take an American Conference home-field playoff edge by winning next week at Indianapolis.

Have you run Windows Update lately?
This just started in the last week, but when I log on to XP the time is either ahead by 4 hours or back by 4 hours. I have tried resetting it and have double checked that I have the right time zone chosen and that works for a day then it goes nuts again. I tried to sync it with different time servers and it always fails a connection. I am not having any problems getting on the net or using email, do I don't know what that is all about. Any suggestions?

Being the only hostel in Santa Monica there is not much option but we were happy with the quality of beds, common areas and cleanliness. Position is great. Felt more like a hotel that other hostels as there is not a fun/energetic/friendly vibe.

Hip-hop artist The-Dream (Terius Nash) releases his latest video from his '1977' studio set.
Following the recent release of his video "Wake Me When It's Over", hip-hop singer-songwriter and record producer Terius Nash, better known as The-Dream, premieres another music video in less than a week. The latest video is to support "Used to Be", lifted off his album "Terius Nash: 1977", and features his fellow Radio Killa Records artist Casha.
The video shows The-Dream in a Chicago-inscribed jersey and a Bulls cap, smoking a cigar and wearing his trademark bling, singing about a relationship that has turned sour. Casha portrays the role of the nagging girlfriend in the video who as it says in the track, treats her man "like a five-year-old from the back seat, and who has become jealous, as what the first verse told: you used to be so confident / but all that s*** came and went / you used to be anti-internet / but now you constantly blogging and s***."
The second verse goes on to describe the source of all the angst: "halfway decent for me , but you dress up for your girlfriends / listening to what they say got your ass without a husband / put you up in the Benz, you did everything to get me / ain't did nothing since but keep talkin' bout what It should be/ car, daycare, paid all the rent / I know you wanna run the world, but first try to run this."
The-Dream has co-written such popular tracks as Justin Bieber's "Baby", Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Beyonce Knowles' "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".

accessibility & help
© Info
Too many people have to reach a crisis point before they receive the health and social care support they need.
That's why we support the Care Act's duties on councils to ensure that preventative services are available in their area and that access to these services is broadened.
We advocated strongly for prevention to be included in the Care Act and for it to be defined. We were successful, with three equally important forms of prevention being written into the statutory guidance. Read the triple definition of prevention in our report, Prevention in Action.
Now we want decision makers across health and social care to recognise that prevention is about more than just stopping something arising. It is about preventing, reducing and delaying needs and associated costs.
However, our research suggests that local authorities in England must do more to provide prevention services which do just that.
While prevention is present in local authorities' strategies and plans, our report shows the term itself remains misunderstood. This is despite the Care Act's attempt to provide a clear triple-definition of prevention.
Therefore, the Care Act's vision for prevention is not being fully realised.
This lack of progress has its roots in a number of factors. Our report intends to help decision makers make the transition to better preventative care. It provides a national picture of local developments and highlights areas of good practice.
We recognise that councils and other local decision makers have tough decisions to take about their local priorities and resource allocation.
To help councils manage and track their preventative spend, we worked with the LGiU, Mears and Camden Council to develop a toolkit. The toolkit can also be used by health and wellbeing boards, clinical commissioning groups, and other local statutory bodies.

Movie Shot On iPhone, Snuck Out Of Iran In A Cake, Will Screen In The US
I am kind of fascinated by the movie "This Is Not A Film," which screened at the Toronto Film Festival and has now been picked up for release in the US. The film is by Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who has been sentenced to six years in jail for allegedly making "propaganda against the Islamic Republic" and banned from filmmaking for 20 years. And so he made "This Is Not A Film" while under house arrest. It's a 75-minute look at a day in his life as he tried to appeal his verdict. It was shot on an iPhone by a friend and, for its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, the movie had to be smuggled out of the country in a cake. Panahi has serious commitment to his craft and I think it's pretty amazing that audiences will get to see this work. I only hope it doesn't incur him graver punishment.

Dakota County officials announced today that four suspects have been charged in connection with a marijuana-growing operation involving hundreds of plants at grow sites in Apple Valley and Shakopee.
According to the Dakota County Sheriff's Office, deputies learned of the operation from a neighbor's complaint regarding a strong odor of marijuana emanating from one of the grow sites.
The Dakota County Drug Task Force subsequently obtained warrants and searched five locations — in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Shakopee — on May 28.
Two of the locations where searches were conducted — at 7295 130th St. W. in Apple Valley and at 6445 Oxford Road S. in Shakopee — had marijuana plants growing on site.
The other three locations — at 13112 High Point Curve in Burnsville, and at 4463 Slater Road and 2109 Royal Court in Eagan — were either "stash houses" or residences, according to Dakota County Chief Deputy Tim Leslie.
Evidence seized during the investigation included more than 350 "high quality" marijuana plants and between five and six pounds of finished marijuana product, Leslie said.
Of the more than 350 plants seized, most were at the house in Apple Valley, Leslie indicated, with about three times as many plants there as at the Shakopee site.
Also seized were "large amounts" of currency and marijuana growing equipment, as well as several vehicles.
Each of the four suspects was taken into custody and charged with one count of conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime in the second and third degree.
Those charged include: Thi An Mac, 31, of Burnsville; Nghia Hoang Nguyen, 31, of St. Paul; Trang Uyen Mac, 35, of Burnsville; and Trung Van Nguyen, 39, of Apple Valley.
Though investigation continues on the case, Leslie said "the main part of the investigation is complete, and the rest is just follow-up at this point."

Help me choose some new products please!
Hi all. My daughter is 4. She has very sensitive skin and blond (caucasion), curly hair. It is straight underneath at the back (probably left over baby hair as she started out straight) and can get very curly, especially at the front, little corkscrew curls: although it is hard for me to tell what type she is: maybe a 3b?
Anyway, originally, we had a cut at curly hair salon and were using pure curls clarifying shampoo 2x a week, and knot today as a leave in every night. Then detangling in the morning with some water in a spritzer with the conditioner mixed in. That worked wonderfully.
Then we ran out the kinky curly which was hard to get and expensive so we tried krly kids from ouidad (not bad) and Giovanni direct leave in. Both worked okay for a while, not great. But lately, her hair is losing it's curl and getting very messy. I'm pretty sure it is a combination of a bad haircut at a kids salon and the product. We're in Toronto, so dry cold air here. Putting a bit less of the Giovanni seems to help somewhat.
She's finally running out of shampoo (1 1/2 years later!), so I'm on the prowl for more and wondering what you all use and like? I have managed to find some knot today at a much better price so will look at getting that, but would love to hear your suggestions there too.
What if you buy some kinky curly on ebay because I its hard to come by things in Canada
My initial thought when I read was to suggest you look at the ingredients on the products you're using. It sound like they might have glycerin or protein and because of dew points in Toronto it might be affecting her hair. Protein is my second thought because of the all of a sudden it was frizzy. Sounded like protein overload on protein sensitive hair. I know enough to be dangerous, but look at the protein sensitive board for signs that might be the case and if it is prod reccomendations. Once you find out that you should be able to find products locally that don't cost too much.

Summary note:
Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol under financial duress, but it became one of his most popular and enduring stories. The old miser Ebenezer Scrooge cares nothing for family, friends, love or Christmas. All he cares about is money. Then one Christmas Eve he is visited by three ghosts: Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet To Come. These encounters leave Scrooge deeply moved and forever changed. Historians believe that A Christmas Carol contributed greatly to the modern sentimental Christmas.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The view from he room (20th floor) is expectacular. I would have liket to have a watar boiler and coffe in my room. We had problems wih the temperature in he conference room, it was very hot, but hey gave us a lot of water and we managed.
Friendliness of staff
Nice hotel, with quite nice atmosphere and quiet pleasant staff. Beutiful swimming pool and sauna. Nice overwiev to the city. Very good access to airport by bus 5A. Not many equipment on the room - only 3 shampoons and one soap. No other equipment like comb, brush etc. The hotel is not right at the centre of the city, you have to walk for a while to the nearest metro station.
The staff were impeccable, I was treated extremely well. The selection of eatery's on the premises was fantastic - I didn't need to leave the hotel at all!
The hotel is about 1 km from the city center. There is a Metro station 5 min away. Considering the other options in the area, I think it has a fair price/quality ratio. The furniture is old, so is the TV, and all the rooms with a view to the river/city center have twin beds (at least that's what they told us) so if you want a double-bed room you'll have to settle with an ugly view (towards a gas station and a no man's land). Since the breakfast is so expensive, you can grab a coffee and croissants from the petrol station nearby.
I chose the hotel simply because it was the hotel where the conference I was attending was organised. There is nothing of the hotel that stayed as a good reason to go back. As a matter of fact, I will be in Copenhagen again shortly and I will surely not chose this hotel, or any other SAS Radisson. I am particularly disappointed from the hotel. Firstly I had to change room on arrival as the bathroom was not properly cleaned. I had to change room again, as the one I was given was facing the highway and was very noisy, at the third attempt I finally entered a decent room. Rooms are small, in need of refurbishment, and very badly furnished. The hotel is very expensive, most of the personnel (although not everyone) was unfriendly and inattentive.
Location is pretty close to the center, nice lobby and some rooms nicely prepared Some rooms with small beds and poor, cheap interior
I did like the location of the Hotel I think the shower of my room could be improved. It was not working as it should: water was wether too cold or too hot.
Only the view, really, although the window was a bit pocky. The lady at the front desk was very helpful. The gym/swimming pool area was very disorganized. The attendant was on the phone and was not giving us the right information so we had to keep coming in and out of the changing rooms because he forgot to give us the right keycard, then the towels ...
Nice room complete with all amenities and was available for an early am checkin. Nice breakfast with lots of choices. For such a nice expensive hotel, there was no air conditioning in the room. Opening the window helped some but then the traffic noise was unbearable. A call to reception at 3 am to ask for a fan was futile - all fans had been given out.
Friendliness of staff
Courteous staff. Great fitness center. Poor checkout process that took 20 minutes waiting in line. I noticed the express checkout sign poorly placed and was not aware of it upon arrival. No notice of express checkout in the room. Very annoying since I was in a rush. Fitness center couldhave been open earlier in the morning (i.e 5:30 or 6am).
The view from he room (20th floor) is expectacular. I would have liket to have a watar boiler and coffe in my room. We had problems wih the temperature in he conference room, it was very hot, but hey gave us a lot of water and we managed.
Fantastic views of harbour from well appointed high quality rooms. A truly original concept for a floating hotel.
The view across Copenhagen harbour and the opportunity to use the sun-deck in the sunshine is something special. There is no on-boat restaurant and few local eateries, although the city centre is just a short walk away.

Great location and view. Quiet area. Well designed room and very clean. Staff was very kind and helpful. Free Wi-Fi
It was visually stimulating, everything was very well designed and therefore felt luxurious. It was too cold in the room! Would be perfect in the summer.
The hotel is fabulous!! Having stayed at the Astoria hotel for one night (run down, expensive and very noisy since it is close to Tivoli Gardens) .. it was a dream to find this hotel. It is the only floating hotel in Denmark and all 12 rooms are on the water with a fabulous deck on the top floor. The rooms are beautiful, clean and well laid out - shower is fabulous. Wi-fi is available throughout and is free! It is in a great location and I would highly recommend this hotel for a wonderful experience, quiet, spectacular views and a great value in a very expensive city. Privately owned hotel, the owners are wonderful and offer great customer service. Everything was wonderful!!!
Wonderful and unique hotel.
Nice, clean, sophisticated hotel in the hot spot of Copehnhagen. Special and unique. There is no restaurant, or ever worse, breakfast service,
The boat is very modern (even with under-floor heating in the shower room) and has a 'tv that appears as if from nowhere' - Friends fans take note! There is a nice view from your window across the canal and there are always ducks and seagulls just outside. You can also have breakfast in your room and there's free tea/coffee/hot chocolate whenever you want.
Fantastic views of harbour from well appointed high quality rooms. A truly original concept for a floating hotel.
Perfect view before sleep and wake up. A bit expensive for facilities, but "expensive" is an average for Copenhagen!
A great idea perfectly put into practice. This is the place to stay in Copenhagen. Simply nothing!

The ambitious OneCity transit plan proposed by the TTC chair cannot be allowed to derail any ongoing transportation projects in the region, Ontario Transportation Minister Bob Chiarelli told reporters Friday.
"That train has already left the station," said Mr. Chiarelli.
"Too much time has been wasted and we need shovels in the ground and improvements to public transit starting now," he said. "There is no time left to waste."
Mr. Chiarelli said the province and city council have approved work that is already under way on key light rail transit projects around Toronto and it's too late to change the plans.
The LRT lines planned for Eglinton-Finch are expected to be completed by 2020, along with the replacement and extension of the Scarborough rail line. The Sheppard East light rail line is expected to be finished a year later. The province has committed $8.4-billion towards the existing Transit City plan.
"Any penalties related to changes or delays of these plans are the city's sole responsibility," said Mr. Chiarelli.
Bruce McCuaig, the president and CEO of Metrolinx, noted Friday that construction on the Eglinton-Finch line has already begun and that $40-million had been spent on planning, design and engineering on the Scarborough RT project. In addition, vehicles had already been ordered for the line.
TTC Chair Karen Stintz said the minister's remarks do not mean a quick death for the OneCity transit proposal.
"I think we need to separate the four lines that have been approved and the long-term vision," she said of the $30-billion, 30-year OneCity plan she unveiled this week. It relies on a property-tax increase to pay for 170 kilometres of new subway, light-rail and bus lines.
She said she still plans to take OneCity to council in two weeks, even though the province has said it is going ahead with plans to replace the Scarborough Rapid Transit line with light rail, rather than a subway extension as the OneCity plan proposes.
"OneCity is much bigger than the extension of the Bloor-Danforth line," she said. "What we are talking about in July is whether or not there is the will of council to continue studying a larger transit plan that serves every corner of the city and a funding model that supports that."
Mr. Chiarelli said OneCity has "a lot of merit," but it needs public consultation and consideration. He called it a future-looking concept that is conditional on $10-billion in funding from Ottawa and another $10-billion from Queen Park, as well as amended property tax legislation.
Toronto residents have already endured several years of "complicated and often messy debate" at City Hall over transit, he said, and there was no certainty the OneCity plan would go forward.
"We must not and cannot allow further council debate and delay," he said. "Transit in a city like Toronto isn't a luxury, it's a necessity."
If council approves the plan and signals it is willing to come to the table with funds, Ms. Stintz said she is still hoping the province will reconsider its decision.
Other city councillors had a much different take on Mr. Chiarelli's announcement, saying it shows how frustrated others have become with council's indecision on the transit file.
"If individual councillors or small groups of councillors keep coming up with new schemes and changing their minds and trying to change the direction of multi-billion- dollar spending decisions, at some point somebody's got to say enough is enough and we've got to move forward," said TTC commissioner Peter Milczyn, a member of the mayor's executive.
"This is not the way you design transit systems, this is not the way you do planning and this is not the way you engage other levels of government in multi-billion dollar decisions."Report Typo/Error

New car tax deduction has catch (of course)
Manufacturers have been offering cash-back incentives on new car purchases for years. Now you can add an Internal Revenue Service benefit to that package.
The IRS announced that state, local and excise taxes on new car purchases made this year can be deducted on the buyer's 2009 tax returns next year.
"For those thinking about buying a new car, this deduction may give them a little more drive to make their purchase this year," said IRS commissioner Doug Shulman.
The deduction applies to state and excise taxes paid on up to $49,500 of the purchase price of a qualified new car, light truck, motor home or motorcycle bought from Feb. 16 to Dec. 31, 2009.
Of course, there's a catch. The amount of the deduction is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is between $125,000 to $135,000 for individual filers and $250,000 to $260,000 for joint filers.
The author is solely responsible for the content.
So... For those who itemize, state sales taxes have been deductible the past few years and not just up to $49,500 purchase price. Of course, phase outs were still applicable.
But at least this extends the tax deduction to those who do not itemize.
Note that it's not a tax credit, it's a tax deduction. So if you qualify for it, you only save a percentage. If the sales tax and excise tax totalled $2500 and you were in the 28% bracket, you'd actually save $700 off your federal tax, not $2500. Of course, if you're subject to the AMT, you'd probably save nothing.
Like most things in life, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is....
While I won't quibble too much with the $49,500 cap on purchase price (as most cars, especially US made cars, are under this price) so we aren' t subsidizing Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, I question the income level phase out since if the point is to stimulate the economy and it is the people with more money that can afford to buy the cars. So, is the point to stimulate car sales and production and the economy, or to give a tax break to the middle class? If it is the latter than even without the phase out the middle class still gets break while the wealthier are also incentivized to by a car if it is the former,
And no, I don't come close, by a long shot, to the phase out income levels. And I usually don't mind seeing the rich pay more. But in this case I have to wonder what is point of phase out.

THE design of a new home planned in the grounds of a farm in Broad Chalke has been hailed by planners as an "architectural gem".
Members of Wiltshire Council's southern area planning committee were impressed at their meeting on Thursday by architect Andrew Jarvis' blueprints for the house, on land at Barn Orchard, High Road.
Cllr Ian McLennan said: "The architect has gone to the site, he has surveyed it and he has surveyed the surrounding area. He has looked at how it will affect the area and how he can minimise that, and he has created something that I can't wait to see built.
"So much thought has gone into this and I'm really impressed. I think it is going to be a feature of Broad Chalke."
Cllr Chris Devine said: "It has hints of Art Deco and 1960s Avant Garde. It is a marvellous concept and I just love it. It is an architectural gem."
Committee chairman Fred Westmoreland added: "If someone goes to the trouble to design something like this, we have to at least applaud their courage. I love Poundbury and I love pastiche, and this is a very good pastiche."
The application has been supported by both the nearest neighbours, but has raised concern from the parish council, with members objecting to the design and scale of the large house.
Cllr Richard Britton said: "I think we need to listen to the people of Broad Chalke. This is an imposition that is completely out of character."
However, committee members felt that its location in the grounds of the farm, shielded from view by existing and planned hedges, and its largely one-storey design meant that it would not have a negative impact on the village.
The application was approved.
