(CNN) -- Before Friday night lights, there is summer suffering.
A high school football player cools off at practice by dunking his head in a bucket of ice water.
For generations, the rite of twice-daily summer football practice endured. In August, players would report as early as 7 a.m., work hard for a few hours, eat to get ready for more football, and then drill again in the afternoon. The athletes, often wearing 15 pounds of gear, would run plays, crushing and tackling each other under the scorching heat.
But in recent years, the ritual of two-a-days has come under scrutiny as heatstroke deaths have increased. On Monday, a high school coach from Louisville, Kentucky, will go to trial on charges of reckless homicide and wanton endangerment in the heat-exhaustion-related death of one of his players.
As medical understanding of the risks of heat exertion has advanced, more teams have instituted water breaks. And new technology allows for better tracking of young athletes' body temperature.
That's a far cry from the philosophy that held for decades.
"Anyone that tells you they enjoyed two-a-days, they're lying or insane," said Bill Curry, who played football for 20 years and is now Georgia State University's first football head coach. "We felt like it was a condition of employment. You're not going to be tough or great unless we did it. It was a macho gladiator thing. We just sucked it up."
Curry was coached during his Green Bay Packers years by the legendary Vince Lombardi, whom he described as "demanding and very emotionally draining." Lombardi held two-a-days without water breaks, but the practices were short, said Curry, a former NFL center. His most demanding boss was NFL Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, who demanded six weeks of two-a-days.
"We wore pads for both practices. It was a 100 degrees and no one died," Curry said. "We won virtually every game. The smartest coaches are the ones who knew how to push, but also knew when to back off. That's the difference."
But sometimes coaches can get in trouble for pushing too hard.
A 15-year-old student at Pleasure Ridge Park High School in Louisville, Kentucky, collapsed in practice last year and died three days later. His temperature reached 107 degrees and witnesses said the coach, Jason Stinson denied the student water on that hot August day, according to CNN affiliate WLKY. The station reported Stinson pleaded not guilty at the arraignment. WLKY: Coach faces trial
The Kentucky case is one of the recent heat-related fatalities in football that made headlines. Since 1995, 39 football players have died in heat-related deaths, triggering new practice guidelines, wrongful death lawsuits and even criminal charges.
Last year, six football players died from heatstroke -- four of them were high school students, according to the Annual Survey of Football Injury Research. "There is no excuse for any number of heatstroke deaths since they are all preventable with the proper precautions," the report authors wrote.
To address heat concerns, the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 2003 prohibited two-a-days on consecutive days and during the first five days of practice. The National Athletic Trainers' Association suggested similar guidance in June. Guidelines for high school football vary by state.
"We developed the guidelines for the health and well-being of athletes," said Douglas Casa, who served as co-chair of the trainers task force that implemented the guidelines. "This was certainly not done for the convenience of coaches."
Casa said NCAA Division I successfully implemented guidelines for two-a-days and said, "I'm thinking that high schools could do it."
The association does not advocate ending two-a-days, but recommends getting the players used to the heat during the initial days of practice. The association's position sparked immediate controversy.
Some coaches say two-a-days are time-honored and necessary to prepare for the season. Coaches say more practice means the athletes will learn the plays better and build stamina to last through four quarters. And some say the extra practice helps condition athletes who arrive to training camp out of shape.
"You can't rely on 15-year-old kids to get themselves into condition to play," said Brian Bruch, an assistant coach at Dunedin High School, in Dunedin Florida. "Your linemen have been eating Twinkies or playing Xbox till the minute practice started."
Grant Gower, the head coach at Deer Creek High School, in Edmond, Oklahoma, said his school stopped having two-a-days about five years ago, because practice was not about "the length of time, it's what you get done in the time you're out there."
Former players liken two-a-days to complete misery, but say it helped the team bond. Jesse Harms recalled how the Florida air felt like thick steam and the heat waves rippled on the field. Despite the agony in his chest and legs, he enjoyed the high school experience.
Some of his teammates complained, but "most of the environment is feeling great anticipation for the season," Harm said. "Everyone is hot, sweaty, and going through it together. ... I'm pro-two-a-days as long as they're done with safety as the paramount concern."
Some schools have invested in new technology to monitor their football players' health. A company called Hothead Technologies created sensors that are embedded into football helmets to monitor an athlete's temperature. The device alerts the coach when a player's temperature reaches over 102.5 degrees.
Beth Higbie, director of research and sports science at Hothead Technologies, said coaches can't watch every player for possible health problems. "The ultimate goal is to alert the coaches and trainers that we might have an issue," she said.
Medical experts and coaches have different theories regarding why more heatstroke fatalities have occurred, despite increased attention on players' health.
When Willie Tillman played on Purdue University's football team, he had three-a-days. During his high school and college years, water deprivation was common practice. Yet, Tillman never had a heat-related injury as a player.
"I really believe we're dealing with different athletes," said Tillman, a defensive coordinator for at Merritt Island High School in Merritt Island, Florida.
Casa, director of athletic training education at the University of Connecticut, in Storrs, Connecticut, said today's players struggle getting acclimated to the heat. Players in the past played or worked outside in the heat in manual labor jobs or in farms. Today, people stay indoors more and have air conditioning.
Curry has a similar hypothesis. Referring to his days on the field, he said, "The reason more of us did not die from heat -- we didn't have air conditioning. Our bodies were accustomed to perspiring all the time. We weren't acclimated to 70 degrees, we were acclimated to 90."

When host LL Cool J takes the stage at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards Sunday, he faces the almost herculean tasks of transitioning audience members — both in attendance at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and those viewing the broadcast at home — across acts of vastly different genres (pop, hard rock, spoken word, country, dance, alternative, R&B) and keeping the three-hour-plus show moving at a brisk pace.
Sounds about as easy as herding cats, no?
Of all the questions generated in advance of the ceremony, the returning host's ability to emcee such an event is not one. LL Cool J ably took the reins in 2012 in the immediate wake of Whitney Houston's tragic death one day prior, maintaining a respectful tone while still embracing the anything-goes approach that makes the Grammys one of the more entertaining award shows.
U.S. & World
It's anyone's guess, though, concerning the following:
Who will be the big winner? After Adele's sweep last year, this year's list of winners is much harder to predict. Leading the field are Frank Ocean, Mumford & Sons, Fun., Kanye West, the Black Keys and Jay-Z, who received six nominations apiece.
The big categories? The title of Record of the Year is a battle between The Black Keys ("Lonely Boy"), Kelly Clarkson ("Stronger [What Doesn't Kill You]"), Fun. ("We Are Young"), Gotye ("Somebody That I Used to Know"), Frank Ocean ("Thinkin' About You") and Taylor Swift ("We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together").
Competing for Album of the Year are Jack White ("Blunderbuss"), Frank Ocean ("Channel Orange"), Fun. ("Some Nights"), the Black Keys ("El Camino") and Mumford & Sons ("Babel").
Alabama Shakes, Fun., Hunter Hayes, the Lumineers and Frank Ocean are up for Best New Artist.
Song of the Year (awarded to the songwriter) will see "The A Team" (Ed Sheeran) up against "Call Me Maybe" (Tavish Crowe, Carly Rae Jepsen and Josh Ramsay), "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" (Jörgen Elofsson, David Gamson, Greg Kurstin and Ali Tamposi), "Adorn" (Miguel Pimentel) and "We Are Young" (Jack Antonoff, Jeff Bhasker, Andrew Dost and Nate Ruess).
Will Rihanna attend on the arm of Chris Brown? Brown was sentenced to five years probation in 2009, when he was convicted of felony assault for attacking Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party. The pair are an item once more, with the "Diamonds" singer accompanying Brown to a probation hearing on Wednesday.
Will attendees respect the CBS dress code? Producers of the telecast reportedly sent out detailed guidelines to this year's nominees and attendees, advising them on the proper attire to wear to Sunday's show. According to the missive obtained by Deadline, attendees are requested to adhere to an apparent "network policy" on curbing those tendencies to dress like, well, someone going to the Grammys. Per the advisory: No butt cracks, thongs, underboobs, side boobs, sheer frocks, nipples or overly demonstrative groin areas. Overly demonstrative?
How will Taylor Swift open the show? Swift is no newbie when it comes to Grammy performances, but that doesn't mean she isn't feeling the pressure of taking on the number one slot. "Oh my god, it's Grammy week, it's so hectic. I have a lot to plan for with the opening performance and I'm just really hoping all the pieces come together this week. Because this is when it really gets really crazy, but it's all very exciting too," she told Ryan Seacrest during his radio show Thursday. On top of her nomination for record of the year, Swift received two nods for her "Hunger Games" soundtrack track "Safe & Sound."
What will Justin Timberlake do? Back in the musical spotlight (it's been four years since he performed at the ceremony), Timberlake's performance is set to surprise. Recording Academy President Neil Portnow told MTV that Timberlake fans are in for a "bit of a surprise. It will be worth watching, and with the Grammys, you always have the potential of seeing something first that you can't see anywhere else. And that's right in [Timberlake's] wheelhouse."
Who else will hit the stage? Other performances Sunday include one by Juanes. LL Cool J will join Travis Barker, Tom Morello, DJ Z-Trip and Public Enemy leader Chuck D in a hip-hop all-in. Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Kenny Garrett playing tribute to the late jazz great Dave Brubeck, who died in December. The Black Keys with Dr. John and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band will perform, too, and Elton John, Mumford & Sons, Mavis Staples, T Bone Burnett and Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard and Zac Brown will perform a tribute to Levon Helm of the Band.
Presenters scheduled to appear include Super Bowl 2013 half-time star Beyoncé, Ellen DeGeneres, Kat Dennings, Johnny Depp, John Mayer, Kelly Rowland, Pitbull and Bonnie Raitt.
The late Ravi Shankar will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Within every innocent web application lies a sleeping monster. If successful, your application will outgrow its single-machine architecture. The adult web application must expand to live on more than one application server to handle its request load. That's when the latent beast strikes -- the State Monster.
The State Monster represents all of the user-specific state data that your application requires to carry on a web conversation with your users, as well as application state data like data caches, indexes, and the like. In a single-machine architecture, this data lives comfortably as objects on your JVM's heap. In a scaled-out architecture, however, it eats you alive.
The Stateless Convention
The conventional wisdom on scaling web applications is to push all of this state out of the application tier to somewhere else. This "stateless" architecture is supposed to scale by letting you add application servers as user load increases. It's also supposed to be highly available and easy to operate because each individual application server can be brought in and out of service without losing data and interrupting the user experience.
The problem is, where does all that state go?
The Stateless Convention: Push State Down to the Database
The most obvious place to put state data is the database. Most applications already have a database available and it seems like a natural place to externalize data. Unfortunately, it's probably the worst place to put it because it overloads and creates a bottleneck out of one of your most precious resources.
The entire point of the three-tier architecture is to create isolation between the application tier and the data tier. Putting application state into the database binds the availability and scalability characteristics of the application tier to that of the database tier.
Worse, relational databases are not designed to store state data. Application state data is naturally shaped like objects. There is an impedance mismatch between the way databases store data and the way applications store data. A great deal of developer effort and server processing power goes into marshalling and unmarshalling application state data back and forth across this divide.
Stateless architectures backed by a relational database are hard to develop, hard to manage, and expensive to operate. As many have seen, if you go down this path, the State Monster will eat your database.
The Stateless Convention: Push State Up to the Client
A second option is to push state up to the client. If conversational state fits in cookies on the client user-agent, this is a fault-tolerant, highly scalable way of managing user-specific data. However, this approach is really only good for small sessions and doesn't help at all for general application data like your caches, queues, and indexes.
Besides being only a partial solution, it also suffers from the aforementioned impedance mismatch. You still have to explicitly ferry your user state across the network between your application servers and the user-agent. Doing so is considerably more work than just leaving state on the heap.
The Stateless Convention: Push State to Peers
If neither the database nor the client is a safe haven for application state, a third option is to push it out horizontally to other members of the application tier. This approach has the advantage of keeping application state data isolated in the proper tier, but presents a number of critical problems.
First, naively pushing state to every other member of the application tier all the time doesn't scale and bottlenecks on the network. Besides, you almost never need all data everywhere all the time.
To get around the problems of broadcasting all state data to all peers, sometimes the web tier is striped so that chunks of application data can be homed on a particular set of cluster members. The simplest incarnation of this approach is the "buddy system" where every application node has a designated buddy that it copies its state data to. If any single application server goes off-line, its buddy has a working copy of the relevant state and can seamlessly take over the new application load with no loss of data.
More sophisticated implementations of cluster striping can more generically partition data across a cluster. This lets a cluster stripe contain more than just a buddy pair and can be responsible for more than just user-specific data. While cluster striping can alleviate the network bottleneck, it forces your application servers to double as clustered data managers. Because these very different types of work are commingled, they can't be scaled independently of each other, nor can the different quality of service requirements of the application and the clustering service be managed independently. This defeats the entire purpose of a tiered architecture.
And, again, the application server-as-state-server architecture suffers from the same impedance mismatch that we've seen twice already. The object data must somehow be externalized from its home on the JVM heap and ferried to its home-away-from-home in another application server's heap. This commotion causes irreparable damage to the object model and the programming model because the objects that represent state data can no longer be trusted to act like regular Java objects.
If you go down this path of commingling your application services with your cluster services, the State Monster will eat your entire application tier.

Valentine's Day: What Makes This Day Different From Any Other?
With 23 happy years of marriage under my belt and 21.5 of them as a mother of 3 beautiful sons, one of my goals is to shine my love on them everyday, as many times a day as possible. Naturally, given my humanness, I am not always successful and my own needs sometimes get in the way. But I do try. So, when Valentine's Day comes around I usually invoke the old Passover idea: What makes this day different then any other? Honestly, not that much. But now that 2 of my sons are away at school, Valentine's Day for me is largely an occasion to send them some love and we all know that the mailable version of love is FOOD. So, if you are like me and you need to send some love to those who are away, the 2 gifts shown here; the SweetHeart Valentine Tin (above) and the outrageously yummy Brownie Gift Box (left) are 2 of my favorite delicious choices. While we do have a Valentine's Gift department that has more Valentine-specific items, just go to challahconnection.com–our entire site is filled with "Mailable Love."
Love and kisses,

Number the Visible Rows in Excel AutoFilter
When you use an Excel AutoFilter to filter a list, usually the count of visible records appears in the Status Bar, at the bottom left of the Excel window. (Note: If the Status Bar shows Filter Mode, instead of the record count, you can use one of the workarounds shown here – Status Bar shows Filter Mode.)
That's helpful if you're looking at the results on the screen, but not much help if you print the filtered list and give it to someone else. To make things easier for them, you can add record numbers that will print for each row.
For example, in the screenshot below, the visible rows are 2, 4, 5 and 6, and the numbers in column B are 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Add Record Numbers to a Filtered List
In column B of our list, if we just type the numbers, or use a simple formula, such as =B2+1 the numbers won't change if the list is filtered. In the screenshot below, the second record is hidden by the filter, and the record count shows as 1, 3, 4, 5.
Instead of using the simple formula shown above, if you want to show the record numbers for the visible records, you can use the SUBTOTAL function. It is designed to ignore rows that are hidden by a filter, so its result will change if rows in our list are hidden.
WARNING: Don't use this technique if you plan to use Excel's Subtotal feature (Data>Subtotals) -- it may delete your table when you remove the Subtotals.
In our list, there will always be a date in column C, so we can use the SUBTOTAL function to count the visible dates.
We're counting dates, so the first argument, 2, tells Excel to count the numbers in the range. If you want to count text entries instead, use 3 (COUNTA) as the first argument.
The second argument, C$1:C2 is the range of cells that we want to count.
- The first cell, C$1, has an absolute row reference, so when we copy the formula down, that part of the formula won't change. We always want the count to start in row 1.
- The second cell, C2, has a relative row reference, so when we copy the formula down, that part of the formula WILL change. We want the count to end at the row the formula is in.
Now, when you apply an Excel AutoFilter, or show all the records, your record numbers in column B will change.
Problems Hiding the Last Filtered Row
The SUBTOTAL function works well, and renumbers our rows as expected, but there's something wrong. In the screenshot below, the list is filtered for the products Paper or Staplers, as you can see in the AutoFilter tooltip. Can you spot the problem?
Although the list is filtered for Paper or Staplers, the File Folders record in row 9 is also visible. Also, its row number isn't blue, like the row numbers for rows 2, 3, 5 and 8.
When you use an AutoFilter, Excel creates a hidden named range for the database. Using Jan Karel Pieterse's Name Manager utility, I can see the definition for Orders!_FilterDatabase. Even though the list ends in row 9, the named range stops at row 8: =Orders!$B$1:$H$8
If there's a SUBTOTAL function in the last row of that database, Excel decides that it's a special row for the list's totals, and it's not included in the named range.
So, if you want your last row hidden when using the SUBTOTAL function in a filtered list, you can use one of the following workarounds.
Workaround 1: Add a Dummy Row
Usually, I add a dummy row at the end of the list, with just the SUBTOTAL function, or other dummy data. Then, that row is treated as the last row, and all the real data is shown or hidden, based on the AutoFilter criteria.
In the screenshot below, the SUBTOTAL function is copied down to row 10, and when the AutoFilter is applied, row 9 is hidden. There's no date in row 10, so it doesn't affect the record numbering.
Workaround 2: Change the SUBTOTAL formula
Today I found another workaround, that's much better than the dummy row solution. Dick Kusleika wassubtotalling filtered rows, and discovered that he could fix the problem by typing two minus signs in front of the SUBTOTAL function. (I left a space between the minus signs below, just for clarity. The formula will work with or without the space.)
With Dick's solution, there's no need for an extra row, so the worksheet looks better, and you'll avoid other potential problems, such as filtering for blanks in one of the fields.

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
The Mudsummer Classic tears up the Eldora and reintroduced Nascar to dirt Racing
Officially known as the Inaugural "CarCash Mudsummer Classic by CNBC Primes the Profit 150," Eldora Speedway played host to the first premier-level NASCAR dirt race in more than 40 years. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series' warriors mounted their attack on the famed Western Ohio clay oval -- Eldora Speedway. NASCAR's premiere series competed last on dirt on September 30, 1970, in Raleigh North Carolina when a guy named Richard Petty won the "Home State 200" at the one-mile State Fairgrounds Speedway. History was written on a comfortable mid-week July night when NASCAR and Eldora unleashed an event unlike any seen in several years.
The beginning, a new dawn for NASCAR.
NASCAR announced the 2013 schedule for the Camping World Truck Series on November 28, 2012. Racing history was made as the series headed to Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio (the half-mile dirt oval owned by three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart), for the first NASCAR race on dirt in 43 years. With the date set at July 24, it would run on the week leading into the Indianapolis Brickyard race weekend, a very popular time in the racing world.
"We've had talks about getting the trucks on dirt in the past," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations during the official announcement. "The door-to-door racing that our truck series is known for, plus Eldora's popularity and Tony's dedication to putting on great shows for the fans is a perfect fit. We'll have a maximum starting field of 30 trucks at Eldora."
Stewart added, "I've always joked around when people say, 'What would you do if you could change the schedule?' I always joke around about saying 'I would add a dirt race.' Now we're fortunate enough to have the Truck Series at Eldora finally. It's really a dream come true for us as not only a promoter, but I don't think any of us really thought, like we mentioned since 1970, the national series have never been to a dirt track. To imagine that 42 years later we're going to be taking a national NASCAR series back to a dirt track is a huge honor for us, something that everybody, including (the Eldora leadership) Roger Slack, Larry Kemp, and Larry Boos, everybody at Eldora, are extremely excited.
"I think the race itself is going to be pretty exciting. We've seen what the Prelude to the Dream has done in the past, bringing in drivers that weren't accustomed to running on dirt. I think with a little bit more favorable conditions we'll be able to give the Truck Series a surface that's going to be really competitive, very wide, at the same time going to give these guys an opportunity to learn something that's a little bit different to them. I think it's a great opportunity for not only the Truck Series regulars, but also with it being a Wednesday night race, having a lot of the Cup Series and Nationwide Series drivers, as well as younger drivers and veterans from the World of Outlaws, Late Models, and USAC drivers that will have an opportunity to land rides for that race. I think it's going to be a great day. I think it's going to be a very historic day for NASCAR and definitely for Eldora Speedway. I think the racing has a lot of potential to be very, very good. We have a very wide racing surface. I think that's always provided great racing no matter what divisions we've had there in the past," finished Stewart. And, like so many other times, he was right, historic.
The "CarCash MudSummer Classic" 150 grueling side-by-side laps
Former NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion Austin Dillon drove to the front with authority and took the inaugural Car Cash Mudsummer Classic by CNBC Prime's the Profit at Eldora (OH) Speedway. A mid-week special that would feature 150 grueling laps for the A Main, along with five heat races to set the field of 30 trucks. Dillon would waste no time coming from his 19th starting position getting to the front by the races halfway point only to see an overtime green-white-checkered finish to complete the task.
Veteran racer Kenny Schrader brought the field to the green from the pole starting position with veteran dirt Late Model driver, Jarred Landers alongside. As the field of 30 scuffled through turn one Schrader easily set the pace. For 15 laps, Schrader held the command until Timothy Peters came up and grabbed the top spot. It would last 23 laps until young gun Kyle Larson sailed from the 13th starting position to the lead at lap 39. He held the top spot until the end of the first 60-lap segment, which allow the teams a chance to make adjustments to their trucks. At the first break it was Larson followed by Dave Blaney, Peters, Dillon, and Landers who rounding out the top five. Back under green with a double file restart, Blaney would take a look, but quickly dropped back in line as Larson seemed to have the field covered. While Larson was cruising, Austin Dillon picked off first Peters and a short few laps later, Blaney. Before long he was bearing down on the leader as they caught up to lapped traffic. Once traffic came into play, Dillon was able to make up the lost ground and the race for the top spot was on. By lap 89, Dillon put his Chevrolet in front and set sail. At the end of the second 50 lap segment it was Dillon over Larson, Ryan Newman, Blaney, and Brendan Gaughan.
Now with just 40 to go, Dillon set the pace as Larson once again set chase along with Newman, who was a very close third. As Newman and Larson would go side by side, it allowed Dillon to cut his own path. However, at lap 122 Larson would get a nose in front while in traffic, only to see Dillon bust back on top. Of the race's six cautions, three would fall in the last segment, with two of those inside 10 laps to go. The last would fall on lap 149 setting up the green-white-checker finish for all the Eldora marbles. With it all on the line, Dillon showed his years of Dirt Late Model experience riding high on the Eldora banks right against the wall. He got a great restart and Larson could only watch as the former series Champion drove under the checkers. Newman would secure Third with Joey Coulter Fourth, followed by Gaughan rounding out the top five.
"It's pretty amazing," explained Dillon. "To win the first inaugural is pretty special; they had me dig up some Eldora dirt for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. This just feels amazing. It was such a good show for the fans. I think tonight was a success for the fans, NASCAR, and thanks to Tony Stewart for putting it together. I was pretty confidant coming into this thing. I was surprised I was able to move up so fast. I just kept turning off the wall to get some traction and keep my momentum up. I did a couple slide jobs there and it got me in front. I knew the first segment when my spotter said ten to go if I could get to fourth that would put me on the outside for the next segment restart. The track grip got better as the track blew off. We made a small adjustment on air pressure just because I was a little tight. Then we just made little minor adjustments as the race went on just to keep up with the racetrack," finished the happy race winner.
"I was getting through traffic really good, and I spent a few laps behind that truck, I think it was the 77," explained Larson. "I was just getting a little bit impatient, and I got into his left rear with my right front. It kind of jerked the wheel right out of my hand and got me all out of shape. Austin was able to scoot by and that's what kind of killed the race for us."
NASCAR's outlook of the final product
As of this writing, NASCAR still is evaluating its first dirt race in more than 40 years, but Senior Vice President Steve O'Donnell strongly indicated the day after the Mudsummer Classic at Eldora Speedway that it will return. "We felt it over delivered on everything," he said. "It was a terrific turnout, and we were really happy with how the competitors performed, so all in all a great night for NASCAR and the sport. We still want to go through the garage area and meet with team owners and competitors and get their feedback, and we want to see the ratings. So far everything we've seen, it's something we'd certainly entertain doing again for 2014."
Speed Channel said the race received a household rating of 1.2, making it the 10th most-watched NASCAR truck race ever on the network. With a total of 1.4 million viewers, it was the most watched sports program of the day on cable. Its NCWTS Setup show had 1 million viewers, the most-watched prerace show in Speed history. The first national series run on dirt since September 30, 1970, drew a sellout crowd of more than 17,000 to Tony Stewart's half-mile oval in rural Rossburg, Ohio.
Ratings were due shortly after the race and O'Donnell said Eldora drew a record social media response for a truck race, according to NASCAR's Fan Engagement Center. Both "Eldora" and "Norm Benning," a 61-year-old, who earned the final slot in the main event via the last-chance heat race, were trending nationally on Twitter during the race. Fans in the Eldora grandstands were chanting at NASCAR officials at the Wednesday night race to bring a Sprint Cup event to the track. O'Donnell said there was no imminent plan to put the Nationwide or Cup series on dirt, but that it might be feasible for stock cars to slide around Eldora as the heavy trucks were Wednesday night. "We've been trying to get to shorter tracks with the trucks in general, and you look at trucks and the dirt, and it felt more of a natural fit," he said. "Certainly I think a Nationwide car could do that, but the focus has been trucks and will continue to be for the near future and keep that as a unique opportunity for the truck series." O'Donnell went on to compare Eldora's place in NASCAR with the NHL's Winter Classic and said there'd been no discussions with other dirt tracks about hosting a NASCAR national series. "I think it's probably a little premature," he said. "It's something that's certainly unique and special, and we want to keep that element of it with whatever we do."
The final result came down to an exciting finish, a lot of very close racing, and a lot of very happy race fans. It has also been talked about by the fans that could not get a valuable ticket as one of the best telecast coverage events they have ever watch. A lot of very good inside information was passed along to the race fans. NASCAR, back to their roots, who would have ever thought?

Basic car maintenance tips for teens
Take a look at some basic car maintenance tips they should know in case they run into trouble while driving.
Check the oil: Teach your teen the importance of checking the oil, how often it should be checked, and how to read the dipstick. This can prevent costly car repairs down the road.
Check for a spare: In case of a flat tire on the way to school, make sure your son or daughter checks to make sure there is a spare tire in the car.
Check the battery: Especially on extremely hot or cold days, an old battery can cause your teen's car not to start after a long day of being parked at school. Make sure your teen knows how old the battery is and how to check if it's in good condition.
Check the coolant: Make sure you show your teen where the coolant is located in the car and how to check if it's low. Also teach them how to add more coolant and how to recognize the light on the dashboard that signals the coolant is low.
Check the lights: Encourage your son or daughter to regularly check to make sure all of the lights on the car are working.

Break the tie!
Black Sabbath-The Eternal idol-6 votes
Deep Purple-The house of the blue light-6 votes
Motorhead-Rock-n-Roll-2 votes
The winner will get reviewed for my September twenty year old album review. So cast that vote.
Black Sabbath.
Hope all is well Mark. 8 more days and we'll be home.
Ok, if you insist ...
Deep Purple. I think your review will be more insightful/surprising for that one. And maybe even more fun for you!!
-- david
Deep Purple
Deep Purple
Deep Purple
Captain Corky-That put's Sabbath ahead.
David-That ties it up again.
Bob-Afraid none of those count because you already voted.
Now it's a 7-7 tie. Still a few more regulars who have yet to vote.
uh, tough but black sabbath. maybe you could do both?
Yeah - I'll go for Deep Purple. That makes it equal again doesn't it :-)
Does both you lazy ****** !!!
Deep Purple
That brings the current tally to
Deep Purple-9
Black Sabbath-8
Still time left to vote though. Granted Black Sabbath have already gotten more votes than Lizzy Borden or Celtic Frost who won their Vote for reviews earlier this year. Still someone has to win and someone has to lose. However I am not completely sure of what album to do for my November twenty year old album review so the runner-up here might get thrown into another electin to have a chance at that November spot later in the year.
Dee Purple again.
I think that's going to wrap it up. Deep Purple will be reviewed in September. Black Sabbath might get thrown into a second chance vote later in the year. This was also the most votes cast in a vote for a review as 20 of you voted.
Yay! Deep Purple!

Digi's iPhone 4 review
Apple's iPhone 4 is the new darling of the tech industry, and if you haven't been able to get your hands on one, now is the time. While it may seem prohibitively expensive to get one up front, DiGi's new iWant promotion packages make the iPhone available to you, starting from a paltry RM 53 per month.
To put how mouth-watering these deals are into perspective, consider the magnificent hardware of the iPhone 4. Beautifully sculpted in curves of glass and aluminum, it embodies the timeless classic of elegance and style in one simple package. Then there's the 5 megapixel camera, awash with a backside illuminated sensor and LED flash, which is able to record your memories for eternity in stunning 720p High Definition video. On the front, the IPS technology display produces an array of life-like colors with deeper contrast and higher viewing angles, while the array of internationally recognized radios allow you to access your data via GSM, 3G or WiFi when you're travelling overseas.
What makes iPhone 4 rocks
If that's not enough, the iPhone 4 also comes with Apple's proprietary mobile operating system, iOS 4. Its hands-on, layman-friendly interface provides intuitive gesture and touchscreen controls, approvable by even the most outlandish country bumpkin. No more spending time installing antivirus software, or configuring settings filled with tech jargon just to surf the Internet – Apple accommodates the user by anticipating the average person's know-how and putting the power to proceed right within their own hands. If that's not enough, consider the more than 100,000 third party apps available in the App Store.
Digi iPhone 4 hot deal
So the question becomes, for something so perfect, how is the average person able to afford it? Well, now anyone can own an iPhone 4 with DiGi's iWant packages!
For those who are strapped for cash, the iDiGi 88 puts an iPhone 4 in your hands for the low price of RM 58/month! And if you activate the auto-billing function, you can reduce this to RM 53/month! For those who may think this is a little steep, do consider that there's also DiGi's free offerings of 200 minutes of voice calls, 200 SMSes, 20 MMSes, and 1GB of Internet data! Now that's a deal!
So what are you waiting for? Always dreamed of owning an iPhone 4? Then hurry to your nearest DiGi store to grab yourself one, today!!

Surgery Overview
Open surgery is done to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It is called an open surgery because the abdomen is opened so the doctor can see and work on the aorta. Open surgery is the traditional method of repair.
To repair the aneurysm, a doctor uses a man-made tube (called a graft) to replace the weak and bulging section of the aorta in the belly. General anesthesia is used for this surgery.
The doctor makes a large cut (incision) in the belly or the side of the abdomen. The doctor puts clamps on the aorta above and below the aneurysm. This stops blood flow through the area that the doctor is working on. The doctor removes the aneurysm and attaches the graft to the aorta. For some aneurysms, the doctor leaves the aneurysm wall intact, and the graft is placed inside the aneurysm.
After the aorta is repaired, the doctor removes the clamps so that blood can flow through the aorta again. Then the doctor uses stitches or staples to close the incision in the belly.
What To Expect After Surgery
You will stay in the hospital for a few days to recover.
You can expect the cut (incision) in your belly to be sore for a few weeks. You will feel more tired than usual for several weeks after surgery. You may be able to do many of your usual activities after 4 to 6 weeks. But you will probably need 2 to 3 months to fully recover.
You will have follow-up visits with your doctor to check on your recovery. Then, you will likely have annual checkups. You might have a test, such as a CT scan or ultrasound, every few years to check your repaired aorta.footnote 1
Why It Is Done
Repairing an aortic aneurysm is typically recommended if the aneurysm is at risk of bursting open (rupturing). Aortic aneurysms that are large, are causing symptoms, or are rapidly getting bigger are considered at risk of rupturing.
In men, repair is typically recommended for an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is 5.5 cm or larger in diameter. In women, repair may be recommended for smaller aneurysms.footnote 2
Your doctor will work with you to decide which type of repair surgery, open or endovascular, is right for you. Your doctor will check:footnote 3
- The shape and location of your aneurysm.
- Your age and overall health, to make sure that you are healthy enough for a surgery.
- If you are able and willing to have the yearly tests that are needed after endovascular repair. Testing is done less often after an open repair.
How Well It Works
When an aortic aneurysm is at risk of rupturing, or bursting open, the benefits of repairing the aneurysm can outweigh the risks. Repairing the aneurysm lowers the risk of rupture. And the repair can help a person live longer. Repairing a smaller aneurysm, which doesn't have as high a risk of rupture, does not help a person live longer.footnote 4
Most people who have open repair surgery recover well. But this surgery has serious risks during surgery and soon after surgery.
About 5 out of 100 people die during surgery or within 30 days.footnote 4 This risk may depend on your health before surgery and where the aneurysm is located.
About 9 to 17 out of 100 people have complications during the surgery or within 30 days.footnote 5 These complications include problems with the heart, kidneys, or lungs.
Complications after the surgery include bleeding, infection, colon problems, and problems with the repaired aneurysm.
What To Think About
When you need to make a decision about repairing an aortic aneurysm, you and your doctor will consider the benefits compared to the risks. For some people, a less invasive repair procedure might be a good choice. But not everyone can have this procedure. For more information, see Endovascular Repair for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
Before you have surgery, your doctor will check to see if you have other health problems that might make complications more likely. These problems include diseases of the heart, kidneys, lung, or liver. Smoking and high blood pressure also put a person at a higher risk for complications from surgery.

Vito Mancini necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 152 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
Redbelly will be the trade mark for a range of product that are derived from blood oranges (google moro blood oranges for a description.
The products will include fresh fruit sold in cartons, freshly squeezed orange juices, frozen juices and desserts such as frozen sorbets, granitas and iced slushy drinks.
we decided on redbelly initially as it differentiates us from providers of blood orange products that have focussed on the Sicilian origin of the product as redbelly is a name of a well known Australian snake. However we are not looking to use snakes or reptiles anywhere in the design. Rather redbelly is used to connote the red colour (that happens to be found on the underside of the snake) which is also the colour of the ground at the place we grow the fruit in the riverina of NSW Australia. It's dessert country.
We want to use the logo to inform and educate people who see it to confirm that the inside of the blood orange is a blood red colour.
Other similar producers include:
Italian volcano orange juice
The products will be marketed with a message that the anthocyanin (pigment) content that makes blood oranges red are one of the most potent antioxidants and further are one of the most effective functional foods to protect people from cancers and other diseases such as cardiovascular conditions (arteriosclerosis). however we do not want a stodgy almost medical feel to the logo as we are saying you can get all of these health benefits with a good taste to boot. We want to promote the good flavor as a way in which to promote the consumption over functional foods such as spirulina and wheatgrass shots that have health benefits but taste disgusting. As such we still want a fun logo and effectively poke fun at the other types of functional foods that taste bad. It's healthy and it's good for you!!!
One of our slogans is "red, the new green" and even used the words vitaminRed. RED the word and the colour is the principle focus.
Given the health benefits we aim to target families and older people initially with this brand. However we alo want to extend this brand to the younger demographic who may be interested in using the juices and granita mixes in alcoholic drinks and cocktails where they would be branded redbelly in bars and cocktail lounges.
A basic colour logo that can be used on
-produce cartons on glossy black background
-juice and other labels
-uniforms and vehicles
Preferably artwork with use of blood red colour

Those following the Oracle-Google patent infringement lawsuit will get a dose of excitement as chief executives, Oracle's Larry Ellison and Google's Larry Page will face each other in a San Jose courtroom next week.
The two were issued a court order to show up at 9 a.m. Sept. 19 by Paul S. Grewal, the presiding judge from U.S. District Court, according to court documents uncovered from the Register. Oracle sued Google for the use of its Java-related patents, which it acquired in 2010 when it purchased Sun Microsystems. As ZDNet points out, Google had grown used to Sun's laissez faire attitude about intellectual property but were blindsided when Oracle purchased the company and began issuing lawsuits.
After a year in the courts, it's likely that both companies want to settle and the presiding judge is seemingly on board with that as well -- why else order both CEOs into court? The interesting part is how the two personalities will handle the matter in court. We doubt there will be any fisticuffs or namecalling, but will Page constantly be on his Android smartphone, ignoring the proceedings? Or will Ellison appear bored and spend the morning daydreaming about sailing?

If you like to catch trout from the shore, pay attention to Utah's fishing reports -- some of the best shore fishing of the year is about to begin.
Ice is pulling away from the shore at mid-elevation waters across the state. As the ice leaves, the sun hits the shallow water near the shore. If the sun stays out and the wind stays calm, the water near the shore can warm quickly.
As the water warms, trout and other coldwater fish move into the shallow water in search of food. These fish are hungry -- it's been awhile since they've had a decent meal.
"At many of the state's waters, spring is the best time to fish from the shore," says Roger Wilson, Aquatic Section chief for the Division of Wildlife Resources. "It's a great time to take your kids fishing. They can catch a bunch of fish using simple techniques and simple fishing equipment."
Usually lasts one to two weeks
If the sky stays clear and the wind stays calm, fishing can be fast and furious for one to two weeks. Then, as water across the lake or reservoir warms, trout start to move away from the shore.
Your ice-off fishing experience can last a lot longer than one to two weeks, though. If you stay updated on which waters are losing ice, and you�re willing to travel a bit, you can extend your ice-off fishing experience into May.
Wilson says lower and mid-elevation waters open first, followed by waters at higher elevations. "Depending on where it's located," he says, "a body of water will typically experience ice off anywhere from mid March to mid May."
Staying updated
You can stay updated on which waters are experiencing ice off by reading the DWR's ice-off fishing updates. The updates are available at http://go.usa.gov/Pkb.
In addition to http://go.usa.gov/Pkb, the following are also good sources for ice-off fishing information:
Stores that sell fishing tackle and stores at various marinas in Utah also have excellent, up-to-date information.
"Also," Wilson says, "when you visit a water, pay attention to what the anglers around you are doing. If they're catching fish with a certain lure or bait, and you have that same lure or bait in your tackle box, put it on your line and use it."
Be patient
During ice-off, Wilson says trout often cruise the shoreline in groups called schools. For that reason, it's important to be patient.
"You have to be patient in the spring," Wilson says. "You can sit for awhile with no action, and then -- all of the sudden -- it's 'pop, pop, pop' as trout hit your bait or lure while moving through the area."
Tips for success
Wilson provides the following tips for success:
PowerBait and nightcrawlers are excellent baits to use during ice off. Wilson recommends placing a large sinker on your line, a foot or two above your hook, and then casting your bait and letting it sink to the bottom of the water you're fishing.
Another strategy is to float your bait one or two feet off the bottom. PowerBait comes in a floating variety that will float at whatever distance you place the hook from the sinker.
You can also make a nightcrawler float by injecting a small amount of air into it. Many tackle stores sell small 'air injectors' that make it easy to inject a nightcrawler with air.
Lures and flies
If you decide to use a lure or a fly, try one that imitates a leech. Dark-colored tube jigs and grubs are excellent lures to try. For fly anglers, dark wooly buggers are the ticket.
Wilson suggests coating your lure with Smelly Jelly or another type of scent. Also, placing a piece of nightcrawler onto your lure's hook is another great idea. "This is especially important if you're fishing a plastic lure," he says. "Even if a fish has already struck your lure, if the lure has some scent on it, there's a good chance the fish will strike it again."
Cast onto the ice
Wilson says the open water near the edge of the ice is a great spot to cast your bait or to start retrieving your lure. If the ice isn't too far away, getting your bait or lure to the edge of the ice is easy; simply cast your bait or lure onto the ice, and then retrieve it towards you until it falls into the water at the edge of the ice.

Want to make your plain 'ol grilled steak suddenly sexy? Drizzle it with chimichurri sauce, a bold Argentinian sauce made from a mixture of herbs, garlic, oil, and vinegar.
In most Latin American and South American countries chimichurri sauce is used either as a marinade or a dipping sauce for grilled meats. Since chimchurri sauce is so flavorful and easy to make, it's becoming increasingly popular in The States as well.
Chimichurri sauce isn't just for grilled steak; it gets along beautifully with other grilled meats, such as chicken and pork, and even tastes great on seafood, eggs, tofu, vegetables, and many sandwiches.
So next time you make grilled steak, toss the A-1, and make a batch of chimchurri sauce instead. Then turn on some salsa music, and get ready to sizzle.
Grilled Rib Eye Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Serves 2
Print recipe only here.
Chimichurri sauce can be made up to one week ahead. Just note that the garlic flavor will intensify over time. If that's not appealing to you, then either add the garlic later, or saute it first in some olive oil before adding it to the sauce.
Chimichurri Sauce:
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano OR 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 jalapeno (the more the seeds the hotter the flavor) OR 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 garlic clove
2 (8-ounce) rib eye steaks
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. For the chimichurri sauce, place all ingredients in a small processor; process until smooth. Alternatively, finely mince ingredients and whisk with oil and vinegar in a small bowl.
2. Place in an air-tight container for a minimum of 1 hour or up to several days in advance. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to serving.
3. Preheat the grill to high.
4. Remove steaks from the refrigerator 15-20 minutes prior to grilling. Season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper and rest on the counter top.
5. Place steaks on the grill, and cook 4-5 minutes, or until lightly charred. Flip steaks over, and cook 5-6 minutes for medium rare. (For the most accurate results, use a meat thermometer. 135 degrees F is medium rare; 140 degreees F is medium; 150 degreees F is medium-well.)
6. Remove steaks from the grill, and place on a platter. Tent loosely with some tin foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. (Don't skip this step! It will keep the steak juicy and tender on the inside.)
7. Plate your steaks, and drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately.

Brian Sylvester of The Gold Report - Wed, Jan 30, 2013
Michael Fowler: The New Strategy for Adding Value to Junior/Midtier Gold (Hint: It's Not by Making Big M&A Deals)
A lackluster U.S. economy is creating a positive environment for gold, according to Michael Fowler, senior mining analyst with Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon Ltd. By calculating ounces-in-the-ground values and assessing risk, Fowler has concluded that the junior/midtier sector offers the best growth potential. He expects to see companies of all sizes try to control costs instead of looking for mergers and acquisitions to add value. Read on in this Gold Report interview for Fowler's take on companies that he believes fit the bill.
The Gold Report: Michael, in August you said $2,000/ounce (oz) gold would push up equity prices in 2013. Are you still of that mindset?
Michael Fowler: Yes, although it has taken longer than I expected. The U.S. dollar price of gold was up 6.2% in 2012, but the real increases in the gold price took place in other currencies. For example, in 2012 gold was up about 15% in the euro. The strengthening U.S. economy has been a headwind to gold. I remain bullish on gold and am keeping my $2,000/oz average for 2013.
TGR: A $1,675/oz gold price would require an increase of almost 20% to reach $2,000/oz. Will it require a downturn in the U.S. economy to accomplish that?
MF: To some degree, I hope the U.S. economy will not speed up because that would be a major risk to my analysis. The U.S. economy is relatively lackluster. We think the Fed will continue with quantitative easing and increasing the money supply. Interest rates will continue to be low. All of that creates a very positive environment for gold.
"I expect more quantitative easing around the world will cause gold to rise."
The risk factor here is that if the U.S. economy does speed up and outperforms expectations, it will create a renewed headwind for gold. However, that is not my scenario right now. I think the U.S. economy will move along at 12% growth rate per annum, basically static.
I expect more quantitative easing around the world will cause gold to rise. Japan, for example, is intent on devaluing its currency. In Washington, D.C., the recurring debt ceiling debate may be a potential flashpoint. Potential downgrades by the rating agencies and the Federal Reserve continuing to buy up bonds are other factors.
TGR: Tom Albanese, CEO of Rio Tinto Plc (RIO:NYSE; RIO:ASX; RIO:LSE; RTPPF:OTCPK), was sacked in mid-January due to a $14 billion (B) write-down on assets, mostly owing to overpaying and takeovers. Similar firings have happened in the gold space. Do these dismissals signal a changing mindset toward merger and acquisition (M&A) activity among the largest players?
MF: Yes, I think so. I am not predicting numerous M&As, although I would suggest that this is a good time to acquire.
The CEOs you mentioned made acquisitions at the top of the market. Major strategic mergers are, in my opinion, value destructing. I do not think we will see another Rio Tinto-Alcan merger or takeover in this environment.
I think we will see a lot of smaller transactions happen, such as what occurred with Alamos Gold Inc. (AGI:TSX) and Aurizon Mines Ltd. (ARZ:TSX; AZK:NYSE.MKT) M&A activity will be lower this year.
TGR: You cover Aurizon and know its assets well. What do you think of the Alamos offer; is it fair value?
MF: No, I do not think it is fair value. I also am surprised at the move by Alamos because there are no synergies here. Alamos' assets are in Mexico and Turkey. The company has nothing in Canada, so there are no synergies with Aurizon, whose mines and projects are in Québec.
"Major strategic mergers are, in my opinion, value destructing."
I think Aurizon would provide a better fit and more synergy with a company like Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM:TSX; AEM:NYSE) , IAMGOLD Corp. (IMG:TSX; IAG:NYSE) or even Osisko Mining Corp. (OSK:TSX).
As far as valuation, over the last three years Aurizon's stock has traded mostly over $4.65/share. Alamos' bid is too low. Alamos will have to bid over $5/share. Before the offer was made, my target price on Aurizon was $5.90/share.
Having said that, kudos to Alamos for picking a time when Aurizon is fairly weak in terms of its production in Q4/12, spilling over into Q1/13.
TGR: So Alamos has vastly underbid.
MF: Yes, it is a good premium, but not enough. I am pretty sure the Aurizon board will try to defend as much as it can.
TGR: Does Aurizon have a poison pill in its governance bylaws?
MF: Yes, it has just enacted one. I expect Aurizon will entertain white knights, such as Agnico-Eagle or IAMGOLD.
TGR: Alamos obviously sees value in the small-cap gold producer space. Is that where you see the most value among the gold equities?
MF: That is where we agree. Alamos picked Aurizon because it is producing good cash flow, has $200 million on the balance sheet and no debt. The junior midtier environment is the sweet spot for me.
TGR: Does that not come with a fair amount of risk?
MF: Yes, indeed. Aurizon, for example, has operational risk in its Casa Berardi mine, which is not an easy mine to work. Alamoswhich is really a junior/midtier producerhas risk at its Mulatos mine in Mexico.
Having said that, the upside potential in these companies far exceeds that of a big company such as Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX:TSX; ABX:NYSE) or Newmont Mining Corp (NEM:NYSE), which do not have any growth potential.
The junior/midtier sector offers growth, and that is why you have a higher degree of risk. It is up to the analyst to assess the risk and the growth potential. This is where I see the major price increases coming.
TGR: Some experts in the gold space are floating the idea that some major gold producers may change their model to something closer to an exchange-traded fund (ETF): They would sell a portion of their produced gold and hold the remainder. What do you think of that as a business model?
MF: I have not heard that, but there is a precedent. At one time, Goldcorp Inc. (G:TSX; GG:NYSE) held a lot of gold on its balance sheet. As the gold price went up, so did the value of the company, essentially like an ETF.
"The negativity floating around now sets us up for a very good, positive environment going forward."
I like the idea of holding gold on the balance sheet because it shows that the company actually believes in its own commodity. However, I do not think the market would view a company like Barrick, for example, as an ETF.
These companies have to find a way to be more judicious with their capital and to focus more on return on investment rather than go down the ETF route. If they are not growing, they could increase their dividends to the 4% range. That would be of interest to investors.
Quite frankly, I am more interested in companies that grow their reserves and resources, their earnings and cash flow.
TGR: With gold equity prices slumping badly, have you had to adjust your price-to-ounces-in-the-ground valuations or make other changes to your model to reflect what is happening in the market?
MF: The valuations are all over the place and they are cyclical. In 2009, the value-per-ounce-in-the-ground values went for about $20/oz average. In 2010, they went to $90/oz and are now at about $40/oz. It looks as if the cycle now is one to two years, and we are on one of the lows.
But as an analyst you have to look at what that value might be in a one-to-two-year horizon. Therefore, I do not adjust my models for swings in sentiment. Although we are on a low valuation right now, good valuations are out there. We are using a range of $5070/oz for target prices on small companies.
TGR: In a February 2011 research report you rated Clifton Star Resources Inc. (CFO:TSX.V; C3T:FSE) a spec buy at $11/share. Your target price is now $5.96/share. That is a dramatic shift in two years. Is that representative of how things have changed in 24 months?
MF: We had a feeling that Clifton Star's resource was going to be a lot bigger than it turned out to be. In 2009, Osisko Mining was involved and the thinking was that the deposit would resemble the Malartic deposit in Québec, a 10 million ounce plus (Moz) bulk-tonnage deposit. While Clifton Star has a very good deposit, it is more specific and focused, probably in the region of 45 Moz.
There also is some risk aversion built into the target price due in part to the global debt problems.
TGR: Clifton Star recently tabled a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on its Duparquet deposit in Québec. It has an internal rate of return of 15.5%. Does that seem low to you?
MF: It is a good number. The PEA was done fairly conservatively. A lot of drilling backs up that data. A 15% after-tax return on something with a high degree of confidence, in a good jurisdiction like Québec, is a good number. I would say that anything above 10% in Québec is a good number.
TGR: Did anything in the PEA surprise you?
MF: Not really. The resource was close to 4 Moz gold and Clifton Star will recover only about 1.7 Moz, so there is a slight difference there. Some of the ounces included in the resource are in the town of Duparquet, under a golf course. Those were not included in the PEA, which in my mind is fairly conservative for a scoping study or a PEA.
TGR: Which other companies that you follow offer what might be considered unprecedented value per ounce in the ground right now?
MF: We just put a report out on St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (SAS:TSX), a junior producer with mines in Ontario, Canada. Up until 2007, it had a terrible history, which it has now turned around. The company is producing free cash flow, has rising earnings and a good-looking future. It has good value because of its legacy and upside potential.
TGR: What is St Andrews' production?
MF: It is producing 95,000 oz, with total cash costs just a tad over $900/oz, including royalties.
TGR: That seems on the high side. What is St Andrews doing to control costs?
MF: There are two elements to those costs. One is high royalties. The company cannot do much about that.
The other element is the cost of operations, and it can do something about mining more efficiently. St Andrews is mining better and the costs are going down by increasing throughput in the Holt mine.
If you took away the royalties, St Andrews is probably mining close to the world average cash cost. You are right, it is a high-cost producer. But, along with the high costs, you get a very attractive share valuation. St Andrews is cheap.
TGR: When can investors expect St Andrews to increase production?
MF: We see increased production in 2014, when the Taylor deposit comes fully onstream.
TGR: Has management thought about buying out those royalties or will the company just have to live with that headache?
MF: Management may talk bravely about trying to buy them back, but I doubt Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV:TSX; FNV:NYSE) will sell them.
TGR: And what is your target price on St Andrews?
MF: It is $1.06/share.
TGR: Can you give us another name that offers good value per-ounce-in-the-ground?
MF: Brigus Gold Corp. (BRD:NYSE.MKT; BRD:TSX) is in a turnaround situation. I would not be surprised to see Brigus and St Andrews combine in some way. They are right next door to each other and both are turning themselves around. A combination would be a good idea.
TGR: Brigus just quadrupled the resource on its Grey Fox property.
MF: Correct, and Grey Fox is right next door to St Andrews, which has been finding similar types of resources on its side of the border.
TGR: Having a resource that goes under a border can complicate things.
MF: Both companies have to mine it somehow. To mine it separately is a bit more difficult. If they mine it together, they can use economies of scale to greater advantage.
We have also reported on Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. (ME:TSX.V), which also is right next door to St Andrews. The whole Timmins area is an intriguing consolidation play.
TGR: What other companies would you like to discuss?
MF: Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. (NFR:TSX.V; NFRGF:OTCQX) has a porphyry deposit in the Yukon, a large bulk-tonnage gold-copper deposit. There are two main deposits: the Revenue deposit and the Nucleus deposit, with a higher-grade core.
TGR: The resource is smaller, but the grade is higher, which is actually more important.
MF: Exactly. It is more economic, which is exciting.
Western Copper and Gold Corp.'s (WRN:TSX; WRN:NYSE.MKT) project is 70 kilometers from Northern Freegold's. I mention that because Western Copper recently released a very positive feasibility study. Its deposit is geologically similar to Northern Freegold's. Western Copper came out with more than $1B in net present value.
Northern Freegold has better logistics than Western Copper. In fact, Western Copper has to use and extend Northern Freegold's road to its property. Northern Freegold has greater access to a power line than Western Copper. I point that out because Western Copper's market price has gone from $0.60 to $1.60/share because of the feasibility report. Northern Freegold should not be forgotten.
TGR: The Nucleus deposit has a potentially higher grade starter pit of about 850,000 oz. Does that increase the odds that the deposit will be developed?
MF: Indeed. It usually takes a huge amount of capital to get these big bulk-tonnage deposits into production. If you have a starter pit, you can do a phased approach. You can put in less capital up front, get your money back and then expand your pit.
This is what Western Copper is facing. Its capital costs are about $2B. Northern Freegold should have to spend a lot less, and if management chooses a phased approach, the company will recoup its money a lot faster.
TGR: And, in its copper-gold deposit, Northern Freegold also has molybdenum and silver.
MF: Correct. Of the two depositswhich may actually be connectedthe Nucleus deposit is gold-copper and the Revenue deposit is copper-gold-moly-silver.
TGR: What is your target price on Northern Freegold?
MF: It is $1.44/share as a Speculative Buy.
TGR: Do you have one other name?
MF: International Northair Mines Ltd. (INM:TSX.V) is a very interesting silver play in Mexico. This is an open-pit situation. The deposit is in the region of 70 Moz, although the company has not yet issued an NI 43-101 report. That is expected at the end of Q1/13. The stock is trading for $0.29/share and I am looking for $1/share on it.
Fortune Minerals Ltd. (FT:TSX) has two deposits: one is metallurgical coal, the other is a cobalt-bismuth-gold-copper deposit. Both have feasibility studies that, combined, show well over $5/share of value. The stock trades for $0.53/share. I have a target of $2.65/share on it. The catalyst here is that POSCO (PKX:NYSE), the big Korean steel company, is already a partner and the company is looking for other partners to build the mines.
TGR: Michael, can you give our readers a reason or two to stay positive about the gold market?
MF: All is not lost in the gold sector. First of all, the gold sector is cyclical. We have been on a down cycle for about 20 months. Although that has been pretty depressing, history shows us that 20 months is about as long as a typical down cycle lasts.
Second, institutions and money managers have been selling their gold juniors. Typically, when the institutions are long juniors, it is time to head for the hills or sell them and vice versa. They tend to be contrary indicators at extremes. Institutions are overly negative on juniors right now. So now I would not head for the hills. I would accumulate. Valuations are cheap. I expect the mid-junior/midtier producers to be the first to move, followed by some of the junior explorers.
Quite frankly, the negativity floating around now sets us up for a very good, positive environment going forward.
TGR: Michael, thank you for your time and your insights.

Reuters Blogger Questions Reuters Editorial Actions: Transparency In Action
from the does-this-make-reuters-more-trustworthy-or-less? deptWell, here's an interesting one. There were reports last week claiming that Reuters had spiked a story about hedge fund big shot Steven Cohen after Cohen complained to Reuters management. While Reuters has since strongly denied the charge, it is interesting to note (as sent in by reader JJ) that at least one Reuters blogger complained quite vocally about this decision. The full blog post, written on Reuter's Hedge World blog is well worth reading. Here's a brief snippet:
As a news organization, all we have connecting us to our audience is our credibility. When we make mistakes, when we miss the point, when we fail to publish in a timely manner--each of these creates a little crack in that credibility. Once enough cracks form over time, the credibility is eroded and ultimately broken apart. At that point it doesn't matter how many orange dots you have swirling around your TV commercial or how intelligent you claim your information is. Once that bond is broken you're screwed.What strikes me as most interesting about this is that this Reuters post is still up. Reuters did not pull it. It does have an update link at the top to another blog that posted Reuters' denial (not even a Reuters page... which is also noteworthy). While I'm still curious about the decision to spike the story, I have to admit that the fact that a Reuters blogger was allowed to post this blog seriously questioning the integrity of Reuters management (his own bosses) lends at least some more credibility to Reuters itself. This is strengthened by the fact that the blog post has remained up as well.
Because Reuters is my company, there's a big part of me that hopes this incident has been blown out of proportion; that the blogs don't have the whole story. I fear that's not the case, however. The way it looks now is positively scandalous. And as a journalist it makes me almost physically ill to think about it.
I hope someone above me addresses the situation publicly, because lord knows not addressing it ain't working. Right now this incident is relatively contained (although it was the most viewed post on ZeroHedge as of Tuesday). But by next week, this will be all over the place--Romanesko, Drudge. From there it could get real ugly real fast.
And herein, I hope, lies a lesson for whomever killed Matt Goldstein's Steve Cohen story: When you make a decision like that, under those circumstances, the back story will get out. And the fallout from that back story will always, always be worse than the fallout from the story itself.
Compare this to the stories that went around when the Associated Press was announcing its silly and totally useless attempt to DRM the news. At the time, I heard from a few different AP reporters who thought it was a ridiculous idea that made the Associated Press look bad -- but they weren't allowed to say that publicly, and had no real outlet to do so. Reuters and the AP compete pretty directly in the newswire business, and every time I compare them to one another Reuters seems to come out ahead in recognizing where the world is heading. If it is true that Reuters spiked the Cohen story, that would be quite damning and could make me question trusting Reuters, but how it's handled this news so far, and how it's reacted to its own blogger talking about the story is impressive.

Story highlights
- The plane landed about 10 miles from its designated destination
- 11 passengers were "re-accommodated" to their destination, the airline says
- The FAA is investigating
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating why a regional commuter plane landed at the wrong West Virginia airport Tuesday night.
United Express Flight 4049 operated by Silver Airways was supposed to fly from Morgantown to Clarksburg but landed instead at Fairmont Municipal Airport about 10 miles away.
The Saab 340B plus aircraft can seat up to 34 people, but had 11 passengers and three crew members on board at the time, according to Silver Airways spokesman Scott Bennett.
"All passengers were re-accommodated to North Central West Virginia Airport ... in Clarksburg in a timely fashion," Silver Airways said in a statement.
"Safety is our top priority, and we have launched an internal review to determine what led to the flight diversion," David Querio, chief operating officer of Silver Airways said in the statement e-mailed to CNN. "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to passengers aboard flight 4049 last evening."
Pending the investigation, the flight crew has been removed from service, Bennett said.
Silver Airways, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, started operations in last year and currently operates 120 flights a day on its 31 aircraft, according to the company's website.
The Morgantown to Clarksburg route is new for the airline, which took over those flights August 1.
