Operations UpdateIn the Lower 48 and Latin America segment, third-quarter production was 462 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day, an increase of 28 thousand BOE per day compared to the same period of 2011. Significant growth continues from the ramp up of several high-margin, liquids-rich shale plays, including Eagle Ford and Bakken. Eagle Ford reached a record production level of 86 thousand BOE per day in the third quarter. For the quarter, these shale plays delivered approximately 102 thousand BOE per day, a 51 thousand BOE per day increase compared to the third quarter of 2011. In the Canada segment, third-quarter production increased by 21 thousand BOE per day over the same period in 2011, to 277 thousand BOE per day, reflecting strong performance from the company's significant oil sands portfolio. Christina Lake Phase D achieved first production during the quarter, driving overall bitumen production to 92 thousand BOE per day, a 28 thousand BOE per day increase compared to the third quarter of 2011. Additional growth is expected from expansion phases at both FCCL and Surmont which are progressing on schedule. For the quarter, total Lower 48 and Canada liquids production increased by 24 percent compared to the same period in 2011. This shift to liquids is consistent with the company's overall strategy to improve margins over time. Third-quarter production in the Alaska segment was 176 thousand BOE per day, down 32 thousand BOE per day compared to the same period in 2011, reflecting normal field decline and increased turnaround activity in the current quarter. In the Asia Pacific and Middle East segment, quarterly production was 306 thousand BOE per day, down 6 thousand BOE per day compared to the third quarter of 2011, with continued ramp up in China largely offsetting the impact of dispositions. In Malaysia, development continued on several major offshore fields with first production from the deepwater Gumusut oil field expected in the fourth quarter. ConocoPhillips also further diluted its interest in the Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) project from 42.5 percent to 37.5 percent during the quarter. This reduced ownership interest, coupled with Sinopec Corp.'s estimated $2.1 billion injection into APLNG associated with the dilution and APLNG's successful placement of $8.5 billion of project financing, will lower ConocoPhillips' future capital requirements to fund the project. In the Europe segment, production for the quarter was 191 thousand BOE per day, down 54 thousand BOE per day compared to the same period a year ago, reflecting the impact from dispositions and normal field decline. Progress continued on several major developments in the United Kingdom and Norway, which will result in significant new production from 2013 onwards. In the Other International segment, production increased from 83 thousand BOE per day in the third quarter of 2011 to 113 thousand BOE per day in the current quarter, primarily reflecting the resumption of production in Libya following the civil unrest in 2011. During the quarter, the company completed the sale of its 30 percent interest in NaryanMarNefteGaz (NMNG) and certain related assets. In conventional exploration, the company advanced its opportunities in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, as drilling continued at the Coronado and Shenandoah prospects. ConocoPhillips holds 1.5 million acres in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, and in October, secured access to a new build ultra deepwater drillship, providing future rig availability and flexibility for the company's drilling programs. The company confirmed a successful appraisal in Australia's Browse Basin following the drilling of the Boreas-1 well, and is currently evaluating seismic results in deepwater Angola and Bangladesh. In unconventional exploration, several pilot programs are underway across shale plays in the Lower 48 and Canada. In Western Australia, the first phase of drilling commenced in the Canning Basin. In Europe, the company exercised its option to acquire a 70 percent interest in Lane Energy Poland and assumed operatorship for three western Baltic Basin concessions, where a fourth exploration well is currently being drilled, and ongoing analysis and testing is underway. Third-Quarter Review Production for the third quarter of 2012 was 1.525 million BOE per day, compared with 1.538 million BOE per day for the third quarter of 2011. As expected, production was lower due to the impact of dispositions. Normal field decline was more than offset by additional production from major projects as well as higher production in China and Libya. Sales volumes for the quarter exceeded production, resulting in a favorable impact to earnings of approximately $80 million.

Our Honored Dead
...The early history of Company H (now Company B) was in the main uneventful,
and no very serious service was assigned them. The company did, however,
respond to the call of the Governor to assist in quelling the railroad riots
at Grand Rapids in 1877, but they were not obliged to use their ammunition.
On the occasion of some local labor difficulties some years ago the company
was called out, but the trouble was averted. Aside from the routine of weekly
drills and annual state encampments no great emergencies were presented,
but Company B was ever ready to preserve the peace and do its duty. As a
social factor in the community the company has been prominent from its beginning.
On October 30, 1894, Fred M. HODSKIN, the present company commander, was
elected captain and served his community faithfully and efficiently until
he received his commission as Major of Volunteers at Island Lake. First
Lieutenant John STRONACH and Second Lieutenant George H. BROADHEAD were
commissioned on December 7th, 1896. The first armory was a wooden building,
on Maple street, near the FOWLER block. This place was used for a while and
then the company secured the third floor of F. B. LARSEN's store on River
street. When the Olympian club building was erected the company secured a
lease of the hall and occupied it as an armory for thirteen years, and after
the expiration of the lease, about a year ago, the old Congregational church,
which was recently destroyed by fire, was fitted up and occupied by the
On August 19th the Thirty-fourth embarked on the transport Santiago for Montauk Point, L. I., where it arrived on the 27th.September 3rd the regiment took the cars for detroit and two days later the Company B reached manistee under the escort of a special committee of citizens which had gone to Detroit to look after the wants of the returning volunteers. A warm welcome awaited the gallant company on September 6th. An immense crowd of citizens were at the station to show their appreciation of the sacrifice which the soldier boys had made and to escort them to their homes. Many were unable to walk and all were in a more or less exhausted condition. The citizen's committee took charge of the sick, and in every possible way endeavored to releive the distress occasioned by the trying experience through which the company had passed. On December 10, 1898, Company B was formally mustered out of the service, and the local lodge of Elks signalized the event by a banquet tendered to the members of the old company and its officers.

LPD Attacking Gangs, One Game at a Time
Lynchburg, VA - Lynchburg police officers are reaching out to teens in our area to keep them from being put behind bars.
Officers are partnering with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lynchburg and Wal-Mart for a free basketball program.
The idea is to promote positive relationships between police officers and at-risk youth. The police department says it improves self esteem, teamwork and leadership skills. But for one man, it changed his life.
Keion Cunningham was living the fast life. He says he was involved in a gang and drug dealing, until at 14 years-old something convinced him, he needed to make a change.
"My friend's brother got killed. That was my turning point right there. It just made me look at life in a whole different perspective," Cunningham explained.
Officer Travis Dooley works for the police department's gang unit and says there are roughly 380 gang members in the city of Lynchburg alone, a slight increase from years past.
"We have the Bloods, we have the Crips, we have Gangster Disciples. And we're also starting to see a few Latin, Hispanic gangs," said Dooley.
The badges for baseball and badges for basketball program is one of the largest programs at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lynchburg. Officers partner with teens between 11 and 14 years old, when they're most vulnerable to joining a gang.
"Too much free time equals trouble," said Mark Sheehan, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lynchburg. "So, it's very important to find a basketball league, find a boys and girls club, find a community center."
Keion Cunningham was sentenced to perform community service at the Boys and Girls Club. And years later, he's still coming back.
"When everyone was telling me that I couldn't do this or that, the club it helped me. It made me a stronger person for real," he said.
Today he's an employee at the club's teen center, reminding others there's life outside the streets. Cunningham hopes to become either a football coach or a teacher.
The Badges for Basketball program begins on March 21st and runs through May. You can register at the Boys and Girls Club in person at their building, located at 1101 Madison Street. You can also call Officer Jeff Rater with LPD with questions. His number's 434-455-6060 extension 573.

Department stores use the tactic all the time: attract bargain hunters with promises of soon-to-end sales.
The same thing happened in November with the government's $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers.
As the real estate community spread the word that the subsidy would expire after Nov. 30, Tampa Bay home buyers reacted by lifting single-family home sales 34 percent.
House hunting generally tapers off as the holidays approach. But the 2,282 sales last month nearly matched those in November 2006, the last boom year for the Tampa Bay housing market.
Condominiums, a particular sore spot, performed even greater feats in November.
Condo sales surged 80 percent around Tampa Bay, rising from 370 in November 2008 to 665 in November 2009. In Orlando, banks dumped so many cheap foreclosure condos that sales quadrupled year over year.
Joel Cantor, whose Signature Place condo tower overlooks the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront, racked up 13 closings in November. Most of Cantor's buyers laid down deposits of at least 20 percent.
"Prices have got as low as probably they're going to go. We took our medicine right away last summer. We cut prices across the board. We cut them deep," Cantor said. "Couple that with low interest rates. Most buyers are getting rates of 4.75 percent."
The typical Tampa Bay single-family home sold for $139,100 in November. The median condo price was $104,500. Prices stopped sliding in early 2009 and have hovered in a narrow range most of the year.
"For 15 months now, statewide sales of existing single-family homes in Florida have increased each month compared to the year-ago figures," Florida Realtors president Cynthia Shelton said. "The continued, gradual absorption of housing inventory will help stabilize home prices."
Other Realtors aren't so sure. St. Petersburg's Steve Capen, who works for Keller Williams Realty, suspects heavy foreclosure volume will hammer the market again. The impact will be greatest on mid- and high-priced homes, he said.
"I think we're going to take another dip in 2010. You look at the shadow inventory — it's huge," Capen said. "You see more of those strategic defaulters. They can afford their mortgages, but they'd rather walk away."
Florida's home sales surpassed Tampa Bay's. Across the state, sales, excluding condos, rose 61 percent, from 8,694 in November 2008 to 14,026 last month. State home prices gave back 12 percent year over year.
Nationally, home sales surged a record 44 percent year over year. Sales reached their highest level in nearly three years, the National Association of Realtors said. The median sales price was $172,600, down 4.3 percent from a year earlier.
"Keep in mind that housing had been underperforming over most of the past year," said NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun. "The tax credit is helping unleash pent-up demand from a large pool of financially qualified renters."
Capen recently sold a preforeclosure home, at a loss to the bank, for $85,000. The buyer's house payment was a tad above $700 per month. And he was looking forward to the $8,000 refund next year from the tax credit.
"I don't think low-end homes like that will go down much more," Capen said.
But the housing landscape remains scarred. Tampa Bay home builders continue to compete against the housing glut they helped create. In a sobering report released this week by the University of Central Florida, economist Sean Snaith predicted that the state's construction sector wouldn't return to 2006 peak employment for two decades.
Government freebies will help the housing market along for the first half of 2010. Congress extended the tax credit to cover home contracts signed through April 30.
But the triple threat of 12.3 percent Tampa Bay unemployment, a probable rise in interest rates and bottomless foreclosures cloud the housing forecast for 2010.

It's a quick way to test function of a phono input using a high-level source; no need to spin vinyl to see whether a phono input is working. They don't sound very good, especially in the bass. These are cheap, passive, just a couple of resistors and capacitors per channel, so the source impedance matters. But for a repair bench they are waaay good enough. We have one for every one of our technicians. Highly recommended.

The product is excellent but they added a catalog book that is free but increased a lot the shipping charges, all the book information is on the web site and should not be added by default or if it is, be clear about additional shipping charges.

Japanese band Mono will release their sixth album this Fall, and it features the Wordless Music Orchestra. It's titled For My Parents, and has a release date of Sept 6 on Temporary Residence. Check out the For My Parents album preview below, as well as a video for Mono's performance in London last year.
"Successfully translating their powerful and violently beautiful live performances on record is no easy feat. Despite their albums' masterful subtleties and majestic walls of noise, the consensus had remained that their transcendent live show were simply insurmountable" is how the label describes the band, which pretty much sums up their wall of sound approach. Mono creates monstrous symphonies that quietly build in intensity, into raging hurricanes of sound. Their 2009 release Hymn to the Immortal Wind is a classic example of that. That eventually was performed in New York as part of the Wordless Music Series, and was backed by a 23-piece orchestra conducted by Jeff Milarsky.

Victoria Beckham Talks About Her Ongoing Battle With Food
Posh talked to "Heat" magazine (have you ever heard of it?) about her ongoing duels with her esophagus and her shitty self-image and her total boycott of any sort of body fat. Which is probably why she's growing a beard. To stay warm somehow! Hot new look, though. She looks good as a sleek lesbian double agent with the short blonde hair.
"I became obsessed with what I looked like. I would look in the mirror and check the size of my bottom, see if my double chin was getting smaller.
"I began living on vegetables and nothing else. But it never occurred to me that I had an eating disorder."
Uh huh. She also said:
"I do control my eating. But I think there is a big difference between someone having an eating disorder and someone who is controlled about what they eat."
Not if we can see your appendix. FROM THE OUTSIDE.

Hello, i have also tested several PGSQL ODBC driver versions with Windows 2000, IIS (the Windows webserver) and ASP. Version 18.104.22.168 runs best in a multithreaded environment, but it is still not 100% stable. The webserver sometimes hangs (depends on the load) so that the process needs to be killed. All in all, the Postgres ODBC driver does not fit our needs for stability, and as the posts in this newsgroup show, there is no development going on. To me, it looks like no one here uses the ODBC-driver for server applications with windows. Our conclusion is that Postgres is not usable with ODBC on windows, and no stable driver will be available soon. We are going to switch a different database.

Directed by Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer, starring Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckinsale, Alec Baldwin, Jon Voight, Dan Ackroyd, Cuba Gooding Jr., Tom Sizemore and Ewan Bremner.
Perhaps the most surprising fact about Jerry Bruckheimer's summer blockbuster is not that it's the most expensive film ever made but the obvious omission of Hollywood heavyweights for the title roles. Ben Affleck instead dons the pilot wings of Rafe McCawley, a top flyer (well, he's not going to be a mediocre one, is he?) in the US army. Needless to say, he's also a cheeky maverick along with his equally reckless pal, Danny (Josh Hartnett). Rafe steals the heart of Nurse Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale) before setting off for war, while Danny pledges to look after her in his absence (see where this is going?). Before long, news arrives that he has been shot down and is missing presumed dead. Thus begins an uncomplicated, predictable plot that revolves primarily around a love triangle set against the backdrop of the Second World War.
Boy one (Affleck) gets girl (Beckinsale), and loses girl to boy two (Hartnett) when boy one goes missing in action. Boy one then returns from the dead and realises Evelyn's affections now lie with boy two. And so to the whole point of the film: elaborate scenes recreating the bombing of the Hawaiian base orchestrated by George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic. To be fair, the bombing scenes and aerial dog-fights are spectacularly epic and are probably the most realistic things about the film. In a work representing one aspect of WW2 - and one where the US were the victims - the Japanese are of course portrayed as the stereotypical Japs of old films, the ultimate war nemesis.
'Pearl Harbor' strays too far into 'Titantic' territory, fusing big budget action with a smattering of mushy sentimentalism. At three hours, it is overlong and self-indulgent. Affleck's arrogance is thankfully countered by Josh Hartnett's engaging performance as the second fiddle love interest. Beckinsale's performance won't melt any hearts, while Alec Baldwin is comical (in an unintentional way) as General Dolittle. There's no way this insipid, patronizing flick will bomb even though it deserves to. If you don't mind Hollywood vacuity or syrup-topped action, this film needs you.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. — The Holy Cross College Athletic Department recently announced the hiring of John Brodbeck as the school's new sports information director.
Brodbeck returns to Holy Cross College, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business in 2010. Upon completion of undergraduate study, Brodbeck attended Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Ind., to pursue, and eventually receive, a Master of Science degree in Sports Administration.
While at Valpo, Brodbeck worked as an assistant in the sports media relations department.
"While at Valpo, I felt that I gained great hands-on experience of what to expect coming into this job," he said. "The opportunity to spend two years working in the media relations department was something I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to do."
During his time at Valpo, Brodbeck assisted in coverage of football and women's softball. During the 2012 Horizon League men's basketball tournament, Brodbeck was responsible for setting up the media room, providing all media members access to the post-game press-conferences and creating transcripts available to all outside media members.
A Stillwater native, Brodbeck has spent most of the past five years living in northern Indiana.
"I'm very excited to come back to the place where it all began," he said. "Holy Cross has been so good to me throughout my time as a student and an alum. I'm very eager and excited to get started on my career path, and I'm very thankful that I get to begin this journey at Holy Cross."
"John will be a valuable new addition to our staff," said Athletic Director Bob Schermerhorn. "His willingness to obtain a Master's Degree in Sports Administration demonstrates his dedication to the field of athletic administration. He will be an exceptional addition to our athletic staff. All I can say is welcome home, John."
John currently lives in Mishawaka, Ind., and has a younger brother, Drew, who is a junior on the Holy Cross College hockey team.

How to create mirror image like this in corel
You mean the reflection in water ? Right ?
You need to play around with transperancy, effects like ripple etc. in DRAW. You might have to take the image to PhotoPaint for certain effects. This would be a combination of various effects depending upon the image you are working.
My first idea would be to duplicate the original motive, mirror it vertically, perhaps stretch it a bit vertically, blur it, apply a Wind filter and then smear the pixels by hand with the Smear tool.

Join Anne-Marie Concepción for an in-depth discussion in this video 10. Saving searches and collections, part of Bridge: 10 Things Designers Need to Know.
Here's something new in Bridge CS4, the Collections panel. Now collections have…been around in Bridge for a while. They're basically saved searches, all right,…but they've been beefed up and actually even made a little bit simpler in CS4. They're wonderful.…So let's take a look at one of the easiest collections. Just this little icon…down here, New Collection. Click that, give it a name like, say for example,…you're gathering pictures for a contact sheet or a portfolio. I'll call it…portfolio. Then all you do is as you come across images that you want to…include in that portfolio, you just drag and drop them in there.…
So let's say from Penn State I want to get this one and this one. So I just…drag and drop them right into the portfolio. And maybe Cubs Training. …Let's get a picture of the Babe and picture of me at the Cub's desk. That was always a thrill, …and so on. We'll just grab a few more from the Doggy Halloween Costume Contest. …That guy is cute. That guy's cute and of course the winner and so on.…
- Using Bridge to efficiently organize a client's project files
- Navigating with the Path bar
- Dragging and dropping from Bridge
- Creating PDF and InDesign contact sheets
- Adding metadata and keywords to files outside of Bridge
- Using collections to break free of folder tyranny

Why cast?
It's those "gorgeous" bullets that have me entranced.
I just started adding linotype and the edges are square and the bullets shine like never before. Also as a new caster I realized that alloy and steel molds beat the tar out of WW and alum molds. NOt that I am going to throw out anything. I even shoot all the wrinkled, funny looking ones. Which is probably the second reason to cast, its cheaper.
So now I have a pot, a sizer, several molds, tools from the thrift store (they think that they are kitchen tools, silly). And my wife's cast iron pot, a turkey fryer burner on the way, and various other things like containers, alox, candles etc. Thanks to all of you, a local older guy who started me, and youtube, and the guys at two ranges and several local shops now I are one!

Dollars & Sense
What are your tax obligations if you lost your job during the last year? The Oregon Society of CPAs answers some common tax questions for those who are out of work.
Is my severance package taxable?
If you are let go and receive severance pay from your former employer, that pay is considered taxable income. It will be included on your W-2 form and your employer will withhold taxes on it. Similarly, if your former employer compensates you for the value of any accumulated vacation or sick days, or other types of leave, that compensation is also taxable. (Be aware that even companies that go out of business or declare bankruptcy must report your wages and withholding and send you a W-2 form that shows all your income earned). Of course, you will also have to pay any taxes due on wages you earned last year before you lost your job. For wages earned in 2011, you should receive a W-2 from your employer by Jan. 31.
Will I be taxed on unemployment insurance?
Yes, you will also have to pay taxes on state unemployment insurance benefits and any extended benefits you collect. You can ask the state to withhold your taxes for you, just as your employer did, so that you dont have a tax bill waiting for you at filing time. If you qualify for public assistance or food stamps, you will not have to pay taxes on those benefits.
What if my family helps me out?
There are special rules that address the taxation of gifts. Generally, taxpayers are allowed to give another individual up to $13,000 without paying taxes on that gift.
What if I dip into my retirement money?
As a general rule, any money you withdraw from your retirement plan or IRA will be taxed in the year of the withdrawal if you have not yet reached eligible retirement age, generally age 59-and-a-half, and dont roll the money over into another qualified retirement account within 60 days. If you took $10,000 from an IRA in 2013, for example, youll have to pay taxes on it when you file in 2014. In addition, if you have not yet reached eligible retirement age, youll also owe a 10 percent penalty or $1,000 for early withdrawal. Thats one reason CPAs strongly advise against raiding your retirement account. There are hardship exemptions if youre permanently disabled or have certain medical expenses, so check with your CPA for more information if you believe you qualify. Also, note that if you want to withdraw any IRA contribution you made in 2013 you can do so without tax or penalty as long as you did not take a deduction for the contribution and you do not withdraw any interest or earnings you made on that contribution.
Are job hunting expenses deductible?
Yes, you can deduct many types of costs, including resume preparation and mailing expenses, employment agency fees and related travel outlays, as well as some moving costs if you relocate to start a new job.
What if I cant pay my taxes?
The best step is to get in touch with the Internal Revenue Service immediately and explain your situation. The IRS typically has payment plans available for those who are suffering financial hardship and having a hard time covering their tax bills. You can find more information at 1-800-829-1040 or online at www.irs.gov. If you continue to have trouble settling your tax problems, contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service at 1-877-777-4778.

Highlights at the twilight
|"Of course I am the best." (Icon/SMI)
We've got a month and a half of baseball left to play. A lot can happen and anything can happen over that stretch. To illustrate my point, guess who has been the most valuable hitter over the past 14 days? No, not Roger Bernadina. Its Albert Pujols, believe it or not. You don't need the best to win, but you will win most often with the best.
With that in mind, here are notes on a few players of interest.
Not a rock?
Before the season started I made the ill-fated prediction that Todd Helton would be a solid late-round option at first base. While that didn't work out, I stand by my method, seeing how he could easily be matching the seasons of comparables Billy Butler and James Loney, who were both picked well before Helton in drafts.
Unfortunately Helton was the wrong old dude to throw your chips behind this year as his .252 average, four home runs, and balky back scream "retire." However, in August he is showing there are some reserve tanks to tap into, batting .300 with two home runs already. If Helton has been forgotten in your league, I think he warrants remembering, and a roster spot.
Crisp Jr.
If you ignored my Twitter advice earlier in the season and missed out on Coco Crisp's speedy goodness, worry not because his clone Eric Young Jr. will be batting leadoff for the Rockies for the foreseeable future. Like Crisp, his batting won't impress much, but for any team looking for steals, Young is your best option to get them cheaply.
Everyone deserves a fifth chance
If you are looking for a suggestion for an even deeper league, Chris Dickerson gets my vote as someone to watch. He is in line for a stretch of semi-regular playing time in Milwaukee after impressively going 19-for-43 during his Triple-A rehab assignment. Dickerson has good on-base skills and is a stolen base threat.
Smokin' Raburn
Tigers second baseman/oufielder Ryan Raburn is on an absolute tear at of late, with four home runs in his last five games. Raburn had a solid season last year so he makes for a good play down the stretch.
Above replacement level
Filling in for the oft-injured Rafael Furcal, Jamey Caroll has proven his fantasy worth, collecting hits and stealing his fair share of bases. Furcal won't be out that much longer, but Caroll is worth playing in deeper leagues until the status quo changes.
Out of misery
Rookie Chris Carter of the A's went 0-for-19 to start his major league career and two players returning from injury may spare him from being devoured by more major league pitchers. Travis Buck and Conor Jackson returned to action Monday with Jackson hitting a solo shot—the A's only hit off Shaun Marcum—in the seventh.
Both Buck and Jackson have had their careers derailed by injuries somewhat but with the A's out of contention, they could get more playing time down the stretch than they probably deserve. In AL-only leagues where playing time alone is a basis for ownership, don't overlook these two.

text: Test Results !HELP! - Low T - High LDL and Liver function Good day all. I've been a lurker on here for some time and i just wanted to start out saying thanks for all the information i've been able to gain from everyone else's experience. (Sorry, this might be a bit long winded) Heres my deal. I'm a 26 year old male. I've had symptons of low T for a very long time. I finally got the nerve to start making doctors appointments about 2 years ago. This was the start of the struggle. The few i got to test for T i was very borderline on the results. Earliest test came back with T levels of about 292 ng/Dl on a ref scale of 241-827. All docs told me i'm in range and that i'm fine. Problem is i wasn't fine. For as long as i can remember i've been fairly depressed, have anxiety issues, etc. Physically i have no sex drive at all, gynocomastica, absolutely no facial hair or chest hair (Do have hair on legs, underarms, etc). Always tired, never motivated to do anything. Same old song and dance many of us know well. I finally found a doctor that knows what he is talking about. He had the full scope of tests run and here's some results (tests taken at about 8am): testosterone - 420 ng/Dl Range 241-827 LH - 3.4 mIU/Ml Range 1.5 - 9.3 FSH - <0.3 mIU/ML Range 1.4 - 18.1 (Was flagged as low on test result) ILGF-1 - 134 ng/ML Range 116-358 TSH - 1.205 uIU/mL Range .350 - 5.5 T4 - 1.24 ng/dl Range .61 - 1.76 prolactin - 9.9 Range 2.1 - 17.7 DHEA-Sulfate - 263 ug/dL Range 280-640 (Was flagged as low) Estradiol - 16 pg/mL Range 0 - 53 He immedialty flagged this as secondary hypogonadism. I was incredibly relieved. I finally knew that all this time i was right, something was wrong based on the super low FSH levels. He gave me a clomid stimulation test and my levels shot up to 1101 but i didn't feel any different. I told my doc that I was concerned with fertility. He understood. He then said he'd like to give me 400mg of Testosterone cyprionate just to see how i feel with that. When i say i've never felt better in my life was an understatement. I had energy, my mood was great, i wanted to have sex! Then it wore off obviously after about a week or so. I told my doc that this was for me. I needed to feel like this all the time now that i know it was possible. Then he hit me with the bad news. Apparently my liver functions(SGPT) were way elevated and my cholesterol was as follows: Total 292 range 100-199 Triglycerides 246 - Range 0 - 149 HDL 47 - Range 40 - 59 VLDL - 49 Range 5 - 40 LDL - 196 Range 0 - 99 I had an MRI done of my liver and it turns out I have a fatty liver. My doc told me that he cannot continue any TRT issues until i get the cholesterol/liver issues straightend out. This is almost 10 months ago. I've changed my diet, i exercise as much as i can (I'm too damned tired all the time to really make a good go at it). What can i do? My wife is about to give birth to our first child in a few months and i barely have enough energy to drag myself out of bed in the am and make it to work let alone help my wife take care of a newborn. I have an appointment with my doc again at the end of Feb to have more bloodwork done to see where i stand. If i still cannot do TRT i'm considering just doing it on my own as i cannot live like this much longer without doing SOMETHING. My next step in my mind is make an appointment with SWALE and deal with the 13 hour drive out to see him (I'm in the Philadelphia area). What do you guys think? Thanks for listening to my long post and any thoughts you can provide. Just knowing other people out there are going through/have gone through what i'm dealing with makes it somewhat easier to stomach. Thanks again! -Jason

Heroes of the Week: FORGE Volunteers
"We are closely involved with national efforts to improve federal policies related to LGBT issues," said Loree Cook-Daniels, FORGE's policy and program director. "We sit on national coalitions working on LGBT aging, anti-violence and general transgender issues and policies."
FORGE's work in Milwaukee continues to grow and relies heavily on volunteers. This branch hosts two support and educational groups monthly: one for parents of transgender children/youth and one that's open to everyone. Support and educational tools are available nationally through online webinars. The nonprofit also sponsors stand-alone education events each year, is a regular partner with the Milwaukee LGBT Film and Video Festival, has co-sponsored the Health and Wellness section of PrideFest for several years and, this year, worked with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People in Medicine group at the Medical College of Wisconsin that provided training to more than 100 health care providers on transgender health needs. The local chapter is also working on expanding its referral list for therapists and physicians interested in working with the transgender community.
FORGE is currently seeking volunteers interested in helping with graphic design or those with other professional skills. In addition, the nonprofit will be holding an online discussion open to the public titled "Serving Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Sexual Assault Victims" on Wednesday, June 25, from 1-2 p.m. with guest hosts Cook-Daniels and michael munson, co-founder and executive director of FORGE. Visit ovc.ncjrs.gov/ovcproviderforum for more information.

text: We've all heard the stereotypes, which coast do you think is better? Pros and cons? Where do you live? Where do you wish to live and why? I grew up in LA but lived most of my adult life in various places in the east coast (Northeast to be more specific). This is my last semester as a grad student and am thinking about starting fresh but also settling down. Obviously, I'll be going wherever there's a job for me. But if both places offered good pay, I would have hard time deciding where I should go. I have a love/hate relationship with NYC. LA is hands down best place to settle down in my opinion but I'm not willing to go back home just yet. DC looks like fun place to be and so does SF. What do you say?

I am New , never seen such a stone, I was wondering if someone could offer advice if it's worth getting checked.
Looks like a possible huge piece of corundum, but the color looks too deep and consistent to be not treated. Where did you get it? I don't know what you paid but know that US lab reports are costly.
I found it on ebayi paid maybe $100 for it. I was thinking if it was faked then $100 is a nice novelty piece.
Hi the Certificate states it is a Blue sapphire you can check the certificate at the web address at the bottom of the photo and yes I would get a second opinion on it as it is a large cut specimenhope this Helap
That is where i got the picture of the certificate, and i have the original with me, and the stone. Yes I think your correct, it may be worth getting looked at. Thank you so much.
I have some huge beryl which is misspelled spelled bervl. I may get checked also.
I've seen that also, trust me Ebay isn't here you are going to get rick with out a lot of luck and discipline. i was buying some rubies and sapphires today and saw that same item for bid like 10 auctions so I'm just assuming but you know about assuming
Sorry to say this, but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for the stone but it is more worth paying the fee to an American lab to find out exactly what it is and how it's treated.

Regional Output Convergence in Mexico
We examine the behavior of output disparities of Mexican regions relative to the richest region, the Capital, during the period 1940-2009, and the dynamics of the output gap series of the U.S.-Mexico border region. Our estimations suggest that whilst other Mexican regions have been catching up with the Capital region, the Mexican border region has lagged behind its U.S. counterpart. Moreover, we find evidence that the economic liberalization reforms of the 1980s negatively affected the output gap of most regions, without reverting the catching-up process. The border region is a notable exception, where the reforms actually accelerated the catching-up process.

State volunteer relief veteran tapped to help post-tsunami
A bit of good humanitarian news from state government, as this committee week of budget deficit gloom and doom comes to a close:
Alex Amparo, emergency management director for the state's volunteer and community service arm, Volunteer Florida, is headed to American Samoa to help with relief efforts following the Sept. 29 tsunami there that resulted in devastating 15-to 20-foot waves. He was tapped by FEMA and will be there for at least two weeks. Amparo previously has helped with relief for the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City and Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi and Louisiana.
"As our thoughts and prayers go out to the survivors in American Samoa, we are honored that Alex has been tapped to support recovery efforts there," said Florida Division of Emergency Management Interim Director Ruben D. Almaguer. "Once again we see that disasters truly have no borders and Florida's State Emergency Response Team always stands ready to answer the call to service when there are people in need."

It's finally arrived – the official Google Nexus 7 Pogo Pin dock made for your very favorite 7-inch tablet, straight from the big G. This release has been awaited by fans of the device since it was first realized that the unit had a set of Pogo Pins on its side. What this means is that you'll be able to drop the tablet in to the charger sideways and you'll have to do no plugging of any sort to make with the charging – so simple!
This device is being shown in each of the three major sales locations for the device on Google Play, both in the USA and across the sea in both the UK and greater Europe. The price remains relatively similar depending on where you're grabbing it from – so similar, in fact, that you'll want to pick one up in the store that resides inside your own land mass, without a doubt.
For the USA version you'll be dropping $29.99, in the UK you'll be paying up 24.99 in English Quid, and across the Euro mass you'll see 29,99 EU, as it were. The device remains essentially the same no matter where you're purchasing it, save the wall-plug, of course. If you've seen this device before this release, you've quite likely been paying $10 USD more (or that's what we've seen in general, that is).
This device is quite simple, only holding your Nexus 7 upright and charging it just so long as you've got the cord out the back plugging in to a power port. And that's it, that's all, that's all there is! Have a peek at the Nexus 7 timeline below to see other recent happenings surrounding this lovely tablet device.

I have one areola that is bigger than the other. Will this even out once I get breast implants?
Will Breast Implants Even out Different-sized Areolas?
Doctor Answers 11
Areola mismatch
Implants will not correct areola asymmetry. You will probably need an areola reduction on one side or both.
Learn more: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Will Breast Implants Even out Different-sized Areolas?
If you had unilateral (single sided) implants you could undergo a change in size of the areolas. However, if you have bilateral (two sided) implants, it is likely that both will undergo enlargement.
Learn more: http://www.bodysculptor.com/breast-surgery-chicago/breast-enlargement/
Asymmetric areolae and breast implants
Hi, you need to be evaluated to determine the reason behind your asymmetry so that the correct surgery can be recommended. If your breasts are also different sizes, then it is possible that an implant in the smaller breast will make the smaller areola larger. However, if just the areolae are different sizes, then implants will make that difference more apparent. Re-sizing the areolae alone, if that is what you need, is a straightforward procedure which can be done by any board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck, /nsn.
You might also like...
Asymetric Areolas
An areola reduction involves decreasing the size of the areola by making an incision all the way around the areola and removing the excess and suturing closed the wound. So you will have an incision that will go all the way around your areola.
Hope that helps.
Learn more: http://ocbreastaugmentation.com/
Breast implants will not even out different sized areolas
Unfortunately breast augmentation with breast implants will not correct an asymetry between the areolas.
Areola reduction can be done on the larger areola but that of course will leave a scar.
Learn more: http://drseckel.com/surgical-procedures/result-oriented-breast-augmentation-breast-enlargement/
Breast augmentation magnifies your asymmetries
An asymmetry like you describe will be accentuated or magnified by a breast augmentation, not corrected or minimized. The only way to make the areolas symmetrical is to reduce the larger one to match the smaller one.
Learn more: http://www.randcosmeticsurgery.com
Areola size difference will remain the same
The most likely thing to happen to the areolas with implants is for them to enlarge. If you use the same size implants on both sides the areolas will enlarge equally and the size difference will remain the same.
You can choose to do a peri-areola incision to try and make them similar in size but this will have scars that may not be attractive. The choice is yours to determine which appearance is better for you.
Best Wishes
Dr. Peterson
Only a nipple reduction will make a nipple smaller. Implants often slightly stretch nipples - so the difference in size will remain. It is also perfectly normal for women to have two different size nipples.
The areola will still be different after augmentation
Augmentation tends to enlarge the areola slightly. If your areola are different, they will both get larger and ultimately remain asymmetric. It can be corrected by doing the augmentation thru the areola and then performing a concentric reduction to even the size out. This would provide you with the most symmetric result for both the augmentation and the areolar size and shape.
Good Luck!
They will be the same difference or more after augmentation mamoplasty
The size of the women's areolar complex will stay the same or enlarge a little with augmentation mamoplasty. With the expansion of the breast this may even seem a little more difference in size. A peri areolar reduction of the areolar complex can be preformed at the same time. This will make the areolar complex of the breast more similar in size and also be able to make them smaller if desired.

- The Chevrolet HHR was discontinued after 2011, so with the decreasing value of older cars, the cost to insure one of the vehicles will also decrease each year.
- The particular make and model of a vehicle impact the insurance rates, as does your own driving history and age.
- The HHR has received good safety ratings, which also help keep the insurance costs down.
The price to insure one now will likely be much cheaper than insurance on a new one in 2010 because this model was discontinued after 2011, and as vehicles age, their values decrease along with their insurance rates.
Since each insurance provider uses its own formula to determine how much to charge customers for their coverage, taking the time to shop around for insurance can add up to significant savings on the cost of coverage.

When you are looking for coverage for a Chevrolet HHR, you need to be aware that the insurance company considers multiple factors when setting the cost of premiums.
The different car insurance companies consider the traits of the vehicle itself, its safety features and how it behaves in an accident when deciding how much to charge a policyholder for coverage.
Along with looking at the vehicle to be covered, an insurance company will also consider the human factors at play when someone applies for coverage.
An applicant's driving record and personal profile are important factors when a company is making a decision about whether to provide coverage and how much to charge for it.

What car insurance basics will impact the car insurance cost for a Chevrolet HHR?
When a person applies for car insurance coverage, the company considers a number of factors when deciding whether or not to offer to cover him or her. Some of these factors include:
- Risk profile – A person who is deemed to be riskier to insure will be charged higher rates for his or her high-risk driving coverage.
- Other drivers in the household – Young children and those who don't have a license are excluded from consideration, but the records of all licensed drivers are considered when prices are set.
- Claims predictions – The insurance company's underwriters consider the likelihood of a person in a specific demographic group making a claim against his or her policy.
- For example, insurers are well aware that young drivers or people who have little driving experience are more likely to be involved in car accidents. For that reason, people who belong to these two groups will be charged higher rates for their coverage.
- Rates should start to fall once a customer has celebrated his or her 25th birthday.
- Once a policyholder with a clean driving record is at or close to retirement age, he or she will be able to qualify for low rates on car insurance coverage since the annual miles driven will be lower than for a person who is making a daily commute to and from work.
- Vehicle model – If a customer chooses to drive a vehicle, such as an SUV, that is likely to cause a lot of damage to a car in a collision, that person is going to be paying higher rates for coverage.
- Repair costs – If a particular vehicle is difficult or expensive to repair, insurance costs are going to be higher than for one that doesn't present the same challenges.
What are the specifics on the Chevrolet HHR?
The Chevy HHR looks like a cross between a station wagon and an SUV. The public was given its first look at the vehicle at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The HHR (Heritage High Roof) is smaller than the Equinox and its design was influenced by cars and trucks manufactured by the company in the 1940s; it most closely resembles the 1949 Suburban.
The HHR is a four-door, front-wheel-drive wagon. Passenger and two-seat panel models are available. This vehicle gives owners good fuel economy of 22 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway.
This design was a hit, and sales in 2006-2007 topped 100,000 units.
So how does the Chevrolet HHR's construction affect my car insurance rates?
No vehicle is free from performance issues, and the Chevrolet HHR is no exception. Customers who have bought this model have complained about the slow braking speed they experience while operating the vehicle.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has given the HHR a "good" safety rating in frontal offset tests. This model was rated as "acceptable" in side impact tests.
Both these factors impact how car insurers view the vehicle. It's reasonably safe but is has some issues. Overall, it is considered a safe vehicle.

Morrocan city inspired fashion icon
The colours and textures of Marrakech proved an unlikely source of inspiration for fashion powerhouse Yves Saint Laurent.
A prosperous Islamic capital from the 11th to 13th centuries, Marrakech, one of Morocco's most popular tourist destinations, retains traces of its traditional culture. To Yves Saint Laurent, a designer known as the "king of French fashion," the city was a source of inspiration.
Walking through the Medina, an old part of the city, one can see colourful ethnic clothing, carpets and accessories at storefronts on the narrow, mazelike streets. Women veiled from head to toe in deep blue walk along the street.
One can smell a distinct aroma in the air. Although the Medina is a place where ordinary people carry out their daily lives, it is an extraordinary place for foreigners, giving them a mysterious uplifted feeling.
Saint Laurent, who had already gained a reputation in Paris for his work, visited Marrakech for the first time in the 1960s. He was attracted to the mood of the city, which was reminiscent of his hometown of Oran in western Algeria which was under French colonial rule when he was born.
He moved to Paris at the age of 18 and started working in the field of fashion design as an assistant of Christian Dior.
In 1980, Saint Laurent and his partner, industrialist Pierre Berge, bought a mansion with a 10,000-square-metre garden in Marrakech. Saint Laurent worked there as his second base after Paris. The mansion had once been owned by French painter Jacques Majorelle. Saint Laurent always stayed at the mansion for a while after Paris Fashion Week, which was held twice a year.
"For him, the mansion was a place to relax and gain inspiration for new designs," said Quito Fierro, 51, head of the administrative office of the Majorelle Gardens.
When he was a child, Fierro used to visit Saint Laurent with his mother, who was an interior designer. Reminiscing about Saint Laurent, Fierro said, "He was very shy, but he used to joke a lot."
Clothes designed by Saint Laurent in the late 1960s to the early 1980s clearly reflect traditional Moroccan culture as seen in the Medina.
For example, in a dress that was made with white cloth and embroidered with colourful thread for Paris Fashion Week in 1982, one can see the influence of ethnic costumes of the indigenous Berber people of northern Africa.
To learn more about Berber culture, Saint Laurent used to visit rural villages. His deep curiosity about different cultures broke fresh ground in the field of fashion design.
These days, as many as 700,000 tourists visit the Majorelle Gardens every year. Many of them go to the Berber Museum in the garden, where about 2000 items including ethnic costumes and ornaments that were collected by Saint Laurent are on display.
One can see that aspects of traditional Moroccan culture have spread through their use as an essence in Saint Laurent's creations.
Moroccan fashion designer Fadila El Gadi, who works mainly in Paris and Marrakech, found a direction for her career after seeing Saint Laurent's creations.
When she was still relatively unknown as a designer, she visited Saint Laurent several times and learned the beauty of traditional Moroccan ethnic costumes and ornaments.
From this experience, she adapted designs and techniques unique to her country into her own creations. "I owe him for always giving me a supportive push," she said. Saint Laurent's sense of beauty still influences the local fashion scene.
In 2002, Saint Laurent retired. After his death in Paris, some of his ashes were scattered at his mansion in Marrakech.

Justin Boals has announced his candidacy for Minnesota House seat 35A in Anoka and Ramsey. Boals ran for the seat in 2012 as the endorsed candidate of the Independence Party of Minnesota, but this year he will run as a Republican.
"My principals, values and commitments are unchanged, however, my undying support and defense of our Constitution, our state's rights and republic have steered my ship onto a new course," Boals said.
He currently serves on Anoka's Economic Development Commission where he is also a member of the riverboat study committee. He also serves on the State of Minnesota's Drug Utilization Review Board, is president of Manorcrest Home Owner's Association and is a registered pharmacy technician.
"I believe that we must return to the founding ideals of our republic: limited government, states' rights, strict Constitutional adherence and the individual right to life and liberty," Boals said.
A devout Jeffersonian, Boals believes that government should be run at the most local of levels possible and that concentrated power in a central government can only lead to oppression and corruption.

Jeremy Hobson: Well in Brussels this morning, the head of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso delivered the European version of the State of the Union address. I'm not sure -- but I don't think he started off with "the state of the union is strong."
The BBC's economics correspondent Andrew Walker joins us from London to discuss. Good morning
Andrew Walker: Good morning.
Hobson: So tell us a little bit about what Mr. Barroso has been saying this morning.
Walker: He has been telling us that the European Commission is now making a formal proposal for a tax on financial transactions, on tradings and shares, bonds, and derivatives. That's something that's got quite a lot of support in continental Europe but I think it's going to meet very substantial resistance in Britain.
Another thing he's been talking about is the idea that the European Union, especially the eurozone, needs to be more integrated in the way it runs its government finances and in particular, that there needs to be a lot more discipline.
Hobson: And that call for coordination, along with some of the that ideas we've been hearing, particularly that there should be more action from the European central bank, sort of like we've got more action from the Fed here in the United states, these things sort of sound like they're got a bit of an American handprint on them.
Walker: I think that's a very fair comment and it's certainly the case that over the course of the last weekend the treasury secretary Tim Geithner was lobbying very hard to force some very decisive action to deal with the euro zone crisis and he does indeed see greater integration of government finances and making more use of the European central bank part as an important part of that.
It's just that there are very serious political obstacles from both the financially strong countries like Germany and from some of those weaker ones like Greece.
Hobson: Political obstacles -- that rings a bell. The BBC's economic correspondent Andrew Walker, thanks so much.
Walker: That's my pleasure.

LONDON (Jun. 8)
"Many leading Arabs believe that although they were unable to defeat the Jews in battle, they may still do so by an economic blockade," the London Daily Telegraph's correspondent who recently returned here from Israel reported today. The report emphasized the present economic difficulties faced by Israel. Pointing out that in the long run the Jewish state is placing its hopes on financial aid from abroad, particularly from the American Jewish Community, the Telegraph writer declared: "At present, the poor internal situation and the complete disappearance of dramatic appeal engendered by fighting, make it likely that contributions this year from this source will begin to fall off."

Pope John Paul II assassination attempt was plotted by Vatican authorities?

Attempted murder against late Pope John Paul II 'was backed by Vatican,' says assassin
In a recent interview with the Turkish state television, Mehmet Ali Agca who murdered left-wing journalist of Turkish daily Milliyet Abdi Ipekci on February 1, 1979, and later shot and wounded Pope John Paul II on May 13, 1981, confessed that the assassination attempt against late Pope was backed by Vatican.
"The assassination attempt was plotted by Vatican authorities," Agca said. "It was the desire of Vatican's Prime Minister Cardinal Agostino Vallini, one of the people standing close to the Pope. And the operation was plotted by Vatican's Investigative authority representative Padre Micele," Agca said.
"I was given a task to wound the Pope, without killing him. They told me not to point the gun at the Pope's head or heart. I was asked to shoot in the abdomen. I could have fled after the murder attempt but I didn't because the arrest was part of the plan," Agca said, adding that the Vatican authorities offered him from about $50,000 thousand US dollars for the deal.
After 30 years in prison, Mehmet Ali Agca has been released this year. Having served a 20-year term in Italy, he was moved to a Turkish prison to serve a sentence for a crime committed earlier.

Zero Waste Europe brings together and represents the European municipalities that have openly committed to the goal of continuously reducing waste generation and improving waste separate collection and hence redesigning the relationship between people and waste.
The network of European municipalities towards Zero Waste comprises frontrunners in the field of waste resource and management such as the best performing entity in Europe, the Contarina district in Italian region of Veneto. However the aim of ZWE is not only to give visibility to best performers but also to facilitate and recognise the commitment of those municipalities who, albeit maybe currently throwing unsatisfactory results, are firmly committed to consistently advance towards Zero Waste.
For this purpose the membership of the Network of Zero Waste Municipalities in Europe is structured in two categories:
The guidelines established by the Zero Waste International Alliance about the conditions that a municipality has to fulfil in order to qualify and enter the network of Municipalities Working Towards Zero Waste are the following:
These actions should be included in either a formal Zero Waste resolution and/or a Zero Waste Plan or Strategy signed by the person with jurisdictional authority (Mayor, Manager, Council, District, or otherwise, depending on the local regulatory framework and defined responsibilities for the parties locally).
The municipalities committed to Zero Waste are marked with a blue pin in this map.
In order to qualify as best practice the municipality will need to generate a maximum amount of 75kg of residual waste -what is finally sent for disposal- per person per year.
The municipalities committed to Zero Waste are marked with a blue pin in this map and they are also highlighted with a star.
This website was developed by the the project "Town to Town, People to People - Building a European Culture of Zero Waste" funded with the support of the European Union under the Programme "Europe for Citizens".

Eight months after a radical reshuffle of the welfare benefits system, Central Beds Council has extended its new scheme – despite it not being tested in winter.
The decision was made at an Executive meeting where councillors were told a default scheme would be imposed if the authority did not make a final decision by January 31.
The new Council Tax Support scheme was introduced in April, but councillors admitted it is still "too early to fully understand the impact" of the changes.
It is anticipated that winter will have a significant effect on the number of additional claims for Local Welfare Provision (crisis loans) and Discretionary Housing Payments.
This will, in turn, mean a greater number of individuals will start to experience problems and there will be an increased demand on council support services.
This is on top of the £1.1 million in owed council tax this financial year which remains uncollected. Since April almost 4,000 people who had previously not paid anything in 2012/13 now have to pay 25 per cent of council tax.
In the first six months of 2013/14, Central Beds Council has issued 42,755 reminders for late payment, a 23 per cent increase on the previous year, as well as 4,358 court summons.
It was recommended at Chicksands that the review of the Local Council Tax Support Scheme be confirmed and the current scheme be extended for a further year (2014/15) with a full review during 2014/15.
