WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, issued the following statement today in response to press accounts about a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on hardrock and other mineral production from federal land. Murkowski also questioned how reporters received the report before it was made available to the congressional committee of jurisdiction or it being made available on the agency's website.
"There's been agreement for a long time that the 1872 Mining Law should be updated to include a royalty, reduce permitting delays, and address other priorities," Murkowski said. "When we talk about instituting a royalty it's important to remember that mining is a globally competitive sector. We have to be careful not to ship our own industry – and the jobs that accompany it – overseas."
The United States already faces a significant challenge in attracting investment in nonferrous mineral exploration and development because of its extended and expensive permitting system. According to the Metals Economics Group, the United States attracted 20 percent of the worldwide exploration investment dollars in 1993. Today, that has eroded to just 8 percent.
"The decline we've seen in domestic minerals exploration is largely due to our failure to process permits in a timely fashion. America is tied with Papua New Guinea for dead last in the amount of time it takes to get a 'yes-or-no' answer on a permit application.
"While a federal royalty may be part of modernizing the mining law, we have to ensure that miners can actually obtain the necessary leases and permits in the first place. We need to consider addressing royalties, permitting, and other issues like geological surveys and abandoned mine cleanup, in concert with one another. If done effectively, such an effort could result in more efficient government, a greater return to taxpayers, strengthened resource security, and provide environmental benefits."
Murkowski also noted concerns about the fact that media coverage of the GAO report were published prior to members of Congress receiving a copy of the report or it being made available on the agency's website.
According to its own website, "The U.S. Government Accountability Office is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress." The agency's own mission statement asserts, in part, that it will "provide Congress with timely information that is objective, fact-based, nonpartisan, nonideological, fair, and balanced."
"Whether GAO intended it or not, leaking the report to reporters before lawmakers gives the distinct impression that the GAO is promoting its own agenda." Murkowski said.

Back in 2008, ElcomSoft started using consumer-grade video cards to accelerate password recovery. The abilities of today's GPU's to perform massively parallel computations helped us greatly increase the speed of recovering passwords. Users of GPU-accelerated ElcomSoft password recovery tools were able to see the result 10 to 200 times (depending on system configuration) sooner than the users of competing, non-accelerated products.
Today, ElcomSoft introduced support for a new class of acceleration hardware: Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) used by Pico Computing in its hardware acceleration modules. Two products have received the update: Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker and Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor, enabling accelerated recovery of Wi-Fi WPA/WPA2 passwords as well as passwords protecting Apple and Blackberry offline backups. In near future, Pico FPGA support will be added to Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery.
With FPGA support, ElcomSoft products now support a wide range of hardware acceleration platforms including Pico FPGA's, OpenCL compliant AMD video cards, Tableau TACC, and NVIDIA CUDA compatible hardware including conventional and enterprise-grade solutions such as Tesla and Fermi.
Hardware Acceleration of Password Recovery
Today, no serious forensic user will use a product relying solely on computer's CPU. Clusters of GPU-accelerated workstations are employed to crack a wide range of passwords from those protecting office documents and databases to passwords protecting Wi-Fi communications as well as information stored in Apple and BlackBerry smartphones. But can consumer-grade video cards be called the definite 'best' solution?
GPU Acceleration: The Other Side of the Coin
Granted, high-end gaming video cards provide the best bang for the buck when it comes to buying teraflops. There's simply no competition here. A cluster of 4 AMD or NVIDIA video cards installed in a single chassis can provide a computational equivalent of 500 or even 1000 dual-core CPU's at a small fraction of the price, size and power consumption of similarly powerful workstation equipped only with CPU's.
However, GPU's used in video cards, including enterprise-grade solutions such as NVIDIA Tesla, are not optimized for the very specific purpose of recovering passwords. They still do orders of magnitude better than CPU's, but if one's looking for a solution that prioritizes absolute performance over price/performance, there are alternatives.
How Would You Like Your Eggs?
A single top of the line video card such as AMD Radeon 7970 consumes about 300 W at top load. It generates so much heat you can literally fry an egg on it! A cluster of four gaming video cards installed into a single PC will suck power and generate so much heat that cooling becomes a serious issue.
Accelerating Password Recovery with FPGAs
High-performance password cracking can be achieved with other devices. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) will fit the bill just perfectly. A single 4U chassis with a cluster of FPGA's installed can offer a computational equivalent of over 2,000 dual-core processors.
The power consumption of FPGA-based units is dramatically less than that of consumer video cards. For example, units such as Pico E-101 draw measly 2.5 W. FPGA-based solutions don't even approach the level of power consumption and heat generation of gaming video cards, running much cooler and comprising a much more stable system.
GPU vs. FPGA Acceleration: The Battle
Both GPU and FPGA acceleration approaches have their pros and contras. The GPU approach offers the best value, delivering optimal price/performance ratio to savvy consumers and occasional users. Heavy users will have to deal with increased power consumption and heat generation of GPU clusters.
FPGA's definitely cost more per teraflop of performance. However, they are better optimized for applications such as password recovery (as opposed to 3D and video calculations), delivering significantly better performance – in absolute terms – compared to GPU-accelerated systems. FPGA-based systems generate much less heat than GPU clusters, and consume significantly less power. In addition, an FPGA-based system fits perfectly into a single 4U chassis, allowing forensic users building racks stuffed with FPGA-based systems. This is the very reason why many government, intelligence, military and law enforcement agencies are choosing FPGA-based systems.

Sarah Varney of NPR's "All Things Considered" tested out the Kinoki body-detoxifying footpads currently making the rounds of late-night infomercials, to see if they really eliminate "heavy metals and metabolic waste." She and her husband used them for a night, and by the next morning the pads were covered in disgusting black gunk, as advertised. But then she took them to a lab for chemical analysis to learn exactly what was going on. The results? The Kinoki footpads are a dirty scam.
The adhesive footpads use bamboo vinegar and an unspecified combination of herbs and minerals to draw out toxins through your feet while you sleep, supposedly resulting in the gross-looking muddle you see when you peel them off. But when John Goyette at the Curtis and Tompkins Lab used nitric acid to measure the metallic levels in the two used pads and one fresh pad, he found that they "look like three of the same sample, basically." No heavy metals, no lighter metals: There was no significant difference, chemically speaking, between the samples. The US$30-per-month pads are, definitively, just another shifty case of new-age snake oil, like the master cleanse or "recycling."
It turns out the Kinoki product is activated by either heat or moisture—the pads turned into the dirty "used" state even when held over a steaming pot of harmless water! Our bodies have a pretty efficient ways to get rid of metabolic waste; usually, you can even read the paper while it happens. Either way, waste definitely doesn't emanate through the skin of your feet while you slumber, or my Mighty Morphin Power Rangers footie PJs would've been tossed out long ago. [NPR via Consumerist]

Vertalis Tourbillon
Vertalis Tourbillon intensifies the magic of a tourbillon escapement thanks to a dazzling open-work dial architecture.
One arm of the highly-polished, hand-bevelled three-armed bridge supporting the tourbillon at 6 o'clock extends vertically to majestically support the main spring at 12 o'clock.
Vertalis' escapement is mounted in a rotating tourbillon cage that helps to maximise timekeeping precision by averaging the effects of positional variations caused by gravity, while the state of wind revealed by the visible main spring provides an organic indication of the available power.
Central rose gold-treated hour and minute hands as well as rose gold hour markers are thrown into stark relief by the luxuriant shimmer of a black Côtes du Jura guilloche while the exceptional 18-Kt rose and white gold case comprises 50 components including the signature Louis Moinet crown guard.
And Vertalis' display-back is just as spectacular as the dial-side, with the 'octopus spring' of the winding and setting mechanism taking centre stage.
This delightful feature is effectively three springs in one – pull-out piece spring, lever spring and click spring –radiating from the centre like the swirling legs of an octopus, and surrounded by a main plate engraved with a Côtes du Jura motif.
Technical Specifications
Vertalis is a timepiece exuding classical elegance and a dazzling open-dial architecture, available in a limited edition of 12 pieces.

Homemade Things to Make Someone for Their Birthday
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Finding the perfect birthday gift for a friend or loved-one can be difficult. However, sometimes a homemade gift is the best option, as it can be more personal and sentimental than store-bought items.
If you're thinking about making a homemade gift, consider the recipient's personality, interests and most importantly your skill level. You want to make sure that your gift is not only a quality present, but will be something you can reasonably manage to make on your own. Once you find the perfect homemade gift for someone, they are sure to appreciate the thought and time you put into it.
If you are close to the gift recipient, a traditional scrapbook makes a great present, but you can also make a twist on this memorable gift and consider making a picture or memory book. Use decorative paper to write out favourite memories or moments the two of you have had together, and add pictures and other paraphernalia, such as concert ticket stubs to highlight the memories you relay in the book. If the receiver of the gift likes to cook or enjoys particular recipes of yours, consider compiling a cookbook of your favourite recipes, or recipes you think they will enjoy. Fill the book with special notes and tips on cooking each meal to make it extra special. You can write and draw out the pages by hand or create them on your computer. When you're finished, you can take the book to a local printing shop to have it bound together.
If you are an artistic type, you have lots of options of drawings and paintings you can create for someone as a birthday gift. If you are not as artistic or creative, there are still ways you can create homemade artistic gifts. Decorating picture frames is a great way to give someone a one-of-a-kind handmade gift. You can paint the frame in colours he or she will like, draw or paint a special date or the two of your names onto the frame, or glue objects such as seashells that may be of significance to that person on the frame. Inside the frame, choose a special photo the person will appreciate or a picture of the two of you to make it more personal.
Food Gifts
Food always makes a good homemade birthday gift. Make a food-related gift extra special by baking or cooking the person's favourite dish or dessert, and including a card with the recipe on it. You can also put together all of the dry ingredients of that person's favourite recipe into a decorative jar, and give it to them along with the food gift and the recipe. This can inspire them to try the recipe on their own someday. You can also put together a special meal for the two of you where you teach the other person to cook his favourite meal or dish, you share the food together and then present him with a copy of the recipe.
Painted Glass
Use glass paint or a permanent ink suitable for glass to create a number of personalised glass objects. Take a wine glass and paint or decorate the outside with designs, a special date or the recipient's name. Once finished, pair it with a bottle of their favourite wine as a special treat. You can also paint and decorate flower vases and fill them with flowers for a special woman in your life. If you want to give the recipient a special gift and a special birthday wish, personalise plain glass candleholders with names, dates or even phrases like "make a wish," or "may all of your birthday wishes come true." Place small decorative candles inside the holders and encourage the birthday boy or girl to blow them out and make a birthday wish.

Here's a specific, yes-or-not question that the gubernatorial candidates need to be asked: Jerry and Meg, will you extend the Arnold tax hikes? And if not, how do you plan to find another $8 billon in budget cuts?
The "Arnold tax hikes", as I call them (I'm sure the governor himself would not approve of that characterization), are the temporary increases in sales and income taxes (as well as the vehicle license fee) passed by the legislature and signed by the governor as part of a February 2009 budget deal. They are due to expire next year; they would have lasted two years longer, but voters turned down the opportunity to extend them in the May 2009 special election.
Extending the tax hikes makes budget sense. One Republican policy guru, who requested anonymity so that Tea Party types don't egg his house, suggests that letting these tax hikes expire would blow at least an $8 billion additional hole in the annual budget -- on top of the persistent multi-billion dollar deficits. It's a safe bet that, if they were administered doses of truth serum, both Whitman and Brown would want those tax increases extended (though they'd rather someone else--like the current governor--did the extending).
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
But coming out for tax increases is a political non-starter; both candidates have opposed tax increases (with Brown adding the all-important caveat that he would be for tax increases that voters specifically approved). And both candidates have failed to offer specific plans for balancing the budget (Whitman has a policy plan but it doesn't get deep into the budget weeds; Brown doesn't have any kind of budget plan, at least one that he's sharing with the public).
So one way to pin them down is to ask them this very specific question about a real choice that they will confront the next governor: whether to extend the temporary taxes. Reporters may have to ask the question more than once, I suspect that the first few times it's posed, Jerry and Meg will pretend they didn't hear it.

A number of hoons visiting Croatia equipped with a Zastava asked two questions: what happens when you drive through a cornfield? What happens when you plow into a lake at speed?
Long story short, it doesn't end well for the little Fiat 128 clone. Here's the caption left by the video uploader on LiveLeak.
Back over 10 years ago I went to Croatia for a bit and bought a car with some buddies. Just found the video again and thought I would share. Below are some highlights of us beating it to hell and eventually me driving it into a lake. We broke out the windshield so I could get out quickly. Safety first!
Yes, it was dumb. Yes, it was unnecessarily dangerous. Yes, we ruined some poor farmer's cornfield. Yes, I polluted the lake. And yes, it was fun as shit.
Definite minus points for polluting that lake, but bonus points for car destruction and for busting that window. Safety first, indeed.

EXCLUSIVE! Demi Lovato 'Lost Respect' For Joe Jonas After He Brought New GF Ashley Greene On Their Tour!
Can you imagine having to go on tour with your ex-boyfriend…and then watch him start dating another girl right in front of you? No wonder Demi is over Joe!
Demi Lovato is handling her awkward romantic situation like a true champ. Not only is she traveling around the country performing with ex-boyfriend, Joe Jonas, but the Disney starlet has had to suffer the indignity of watching Joe fall in love with someone new – he brought new GF Ashley Greene on tour!
"You know, I don't have advice for anybody on that. You gotta brush it off," Demi, 18, told HollywoodLife.com exclusively when we asked her what advice she'd give to other girls in her situation.
"I think there's a certain level of respect that's lost when that happens, but you can't do anything about it other than to just keep going and be glad you have someone in your life that you can think about and spend your time with," she added.
Joe, 21, and Demi became best friends when they shot their Disney film, Camp Rock, together in 2007. They started dating earlier this year, but sadly, after only two months of dating, broke up in May. Now, Joe has ditched his purity ring (literally) and has been spotted canoodling all around the world this summer with Twilight actress Ashley Greene.
We cannot even imagine being in Demi's shoes right now…she's handling the entire situation way more maturely than we ever could!

A brief summary of the 30-day State Legislative Session
This year's 30-day Legislative Session wrapped up last Thursday at noon and was by many acccounts more tense and chaotic than usual. Many of the bills on Gov. Bill Richardson's agenda failed to pass, and it remains to be seen whether he'll call a Special Session. The next regular session takes place in January. In the meantime, here are some highlights from this year. Most bills passed will go into effect on May 17. For further details on any of the bills for this session, visit legis.state.nm.us/lcs.

Why the tax relief bill failed
With tax money from oil and gas production pouring into the State of New Mexico's coffers at an unprecedented rate, you might think the process of shaping a budget for the coming 12 months would be relatively simple. You would be wrong.
Odds & Ends
Dateline: England—Police in Hampshire on the hunt for six missing water buffalo have warned locals to be on the lookout for flying feces. The buffalo were last seen in a field in Lower Pennington Lane, Lymington, early last week. Police believe the animals were stolen because there was no trail of telltale dung at the scene. According to BBC online, a police spokesperson warned people who might stumble across the livestock, "They should not be approached from behind ... as the animals are able to spray dung across large distances." Most water buffalo are native to Asia, but have been increasingly imported to the UK to produce specialty milk, cheese and yogurt.

Since it is not possible to use the cluster option with EFA in Mplus 4.1, is there another option to analyse dependent data, like twin data in my case?
Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a worked example of EFA for longitudinal twin data (multiple ordinal indicators). I have failed to locate such an example (likely a result of my relative inexperience with the website/software) and was hoping you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The MODEL commands for multiple indicator growth for CFA for categorical outcomes are shown in the user's guide on pages 546-547. Multiple indicator growth is also described in short course Topic 4 beginning with Slide 77. For EFA, you can use the new MODEL command language described in the Version 5.1 Examples and Language Addendums which are on the website with the user's guide.

Thank you for point me to these materials. I was able to conduct the EFA. Now when I try to move on to a CFA framework, I get the following error message:
Unknown variable(s) in a BY statement: (1)-
I'm following the example in Topic 4 of your slides and although I have been able to fit a model where loadings vary by time, I would like to follow that with a model where loadings are invariant across time. However, when I attempt to follow the example I get the error message above. (Data consists of three time points, 2 observations per cluster and 7 ordinal/5-point indicators). Below are my analysis and model statements:

Manchester, NH (February 24, 2013) – Dyn, the worldwide leader in Internet Infrastructure as a Service, announced it will hold a joint email analytics webinar with Ongage, an advanced email marketing middleware platform that helps organizations optimize deliverability and maximize ROI.
Dyn Director of Email Product Mike Veilleux and Ongage Senior Product & Marketing Manager Noam Rotem will lead the hour-long session on Wednesday, February 27 at 2 p.m. Eastern. The two email experts will discuss reputation-based analytics, IP vs. domain reputation, feedback loops, how Ongage evaluates reports and other email related topics.
Registration is now open, but the number of seats is limited.
"This webinar will be incredibly educational for anyone interested in understanding email more," Veilleux said. "As the Internet continues to grow, email is still the most popular and influential form of communication. Ensuring that the emails you send reach their intended audience is critical for any business to succeed.
"Between what we're doing with deliverability and the innovative approach Ongage takes, we will be able to answer any of your questions," Veilleux continued.
Both companies are considered thought leaders in the Email Service Provider (ESP) space. DynECT Email Delivery – Dyn's enterprise email platform – delivers 960 million messages per month (approximately 32 million per day) for global enterprise companies like Box, Seeking Alpha, Spiceworks and SkillPages.
Ongage is one of the fastest growing email marketing organizations in the world. The Tel Aviv-based company focuses on front end user experience, from list management, email content management, to robust campaign management, and in-depth email performance analytic dashboards.
The joint webinar is a natural extension of the partnership between Dyn and Ongage, discussed in a new case study which explains how in this partnership, Dyn does all the backend deliverability, while Ongage handles the front end user experience.
"We've done API integration with many leading cloud SMTP services and email service provider vendors (ESPs)," said Danny Tal, VP Sales for Ongage, "However, the kind of relationship we have with Dyn, in which we send each other many mutual clients, is unparalleled with any other vendor."
Incorporated in 2001, Dyn is the worldwide Internet Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) leader, powering Managed DNS, Traffic Management, Email Delivery & Email Reporting for more than four million enterprise, small business and personal users. With nearly 20 data centers around the world and industry-leading uptime for over 10 years, Dyn's commitment to customer relationships and engineering excellence shines every day. Uptime is the Bottom Line.
Ongage was founded in 2010 by a team of email marketers with over 7 years of extensive experience in email systems, infrastructure, APIs, ESPs and MTA gateways. Ongage used their expertise to develop OngageConnect, an advanced email marketing optimization platform that helps organizations increase deliverability and ROI.

Man arrested after standoff at senior apartment complex
Officer fires weapon after confrontation with makeshift blowtorch
Baltimore police arrested a man late Friday night after a standoff at a senior apartment complex where a fire also ignited, police said.
City police said the incident began when officers were called on a breaking and entering complaint about 8:30 p.m. at an apartment building for senior citizens in the 6400 block of Loch Raven Boulevard.
Investigators said a police officer responding to the call was confronted by a man, later identified as 45-year-old Sean Lee, armed with a makeshift blowtorch. Police said the officer fired his service weapon, but it wasn't clear if Lee was injured.
Lee then barricaded himself alone inside an apartment, and firefighters were called to extinguish a fire inside the building, according to police.
Lee was arrested shortly after 11 p.m., WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Kim Dacey reported. He was charged with first and second-degree assault, second-degree assault of a law enforcement officer, malicious destruction of property and first-degree arson.
Police closed Loch Raven Boulevard during the incident.

Fashion Friday: Tunics & Hope for Spring
One of my most favorite spring wardrobe staples is the good old preppy/ bohemian classic- tunics! Flattering on nearly everyone, they make getting dressed so super easy and comfortable. I have two favorite embroidered tunics from J.Crew from literally 8 years ago that I still wear all the time because they are so good (and were made so well and only $98 at the time!) I also have my favorite "fancy" beaded tunic from Tory Burch that I wear with white jeans for summer nights out. I just love them. So here are some of my current favorites as we prepare for spring (it WILL come, I swear).
1. // 2. // 3. // 4. // 5. // 6. // 7. // 8. // 9. // 10. // 11.
And speaking of spring, the one thing I am most looking forward to is getting my patio back from the pile of snow it's under. As you recall last summer we excavated our back yard and put in a patio thanks to the fab people at Quikrete and Pavestone (and installed by Chris Miller Brick Paving). On Monday we'll talk all about getting ready for patio season and show you the great "after" images of mine completed! Here's a little timelapse teaser of the process!

I have not read much literature written by famous Atheists (for example Richard Dawkins), nor have I discussed my views much with anyone. Thus, my decision to join the A.N. It is a great opportunity for me to learn, and share thoughts and fact with like-minded people, on various subjects encompassing Atheism.

Hi Bill. Glad you have joined us. Welcome.
Welcome Bill
Hi Bill, I'm from Cape Town. Welcome to reality.
Welcome to the forum Bill. "like-minded" might be a hasty generalization for this group. The only thing we have in common is our lack of belief. There may be some trending on personality types. But, that trending is starting to fade as non-belief becomes more accepted. Overall, we are just another cross-section of society.

The Indian governments Department of Telecom (DOT) recently notified ISPs to block several torrent and video websites such as Pirate Bay, ExtraTorrent, KickAss Torrent, Vimeo, Pastebin and more to curb piracy. ISPs like Reliance and Airtel have already started blocking those websites.
In reply to those blocks, the famous group Anonymous has attacked several Indian government websites and taken them down. While the attacks continue, several users in India are still looking to access the websites but are seeing a message "This site has been blocked as per instructions from Department of Telecom (DOT)".
If you are someone who is looking to access those torrent and video sites in India, you can still do it through several means. As I had stated earlier you can easily access blocked websites using proxy servers, you will find several proxy servers in our earlier guide on how to access blocked website.
Additionally, you can also access those websites using services like OpenDNS and Google DNS. See our guide on How to use Google Public DNS on Windows 7 and Windows XP or use a Google DNS helper to automatically change to Google DNS. If you are in India, you can use a DNS proxy website like http://dnetproxy.appspot.com/ as well.
If you are still not able to access those torrent websites, you could always try and use the site operator in Google search to directly search those websites and view their cached copies.
If you have any other means to access those websites, please feel free to leave a comment.

On a side note this week I had the best surprise from my hubby when after years of lusting after a DSLR camera he bought me the Canon EOS 500D + 18-55mm + 75-300mm Twin Lens Kit!! I am such a lucky girl/wife and love my new camera. Although it's gonna take me some time to really learn how to use it to full advantage. The pics of the brownies are taken with my new camera and I can immediately see the difference in quality compared to anything before. I'm really looking forward to taking more pics of my baking and cooking with my new toy :)
Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and add the grated (or chopped) chocolate. Leave to stand for a few minutes, or until the chocolate melts, and then stir together. Alternatively, you can put the chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt in the microwave in 25-second blasts, stirring well each time.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and a third of the biscuits and stir until fully combined, then pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Scatter the remaining biscuits over the top, pressing them in slightly. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25–30 minutes. The middle should be very so slightly gooey.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
We have recently tested the service Bitwala for sending BTC to PayPal, but the use of eChecks makes the transfer of the coins to money in PayPal very slow, so we started looking for alternative. One such alternative that we found, also operated by an European company that apparently is targeting only European users (supports only EUR as a fiat currency), is called Coinimal and we have decided to give it a go as well. This service supports not only Bitcoin to PayPal, but sending Bitcoin to bank accounts via SEPA as well as multiple other payment systems, though our focus was on the PayPal support. Another interesting thing about Coinimal is that it is not only for selling your Bitcoins or NXTcoin and having the respective Euro amount sent to PayPal, bank account or other payment processor, but you can actually also buy BTC as well as NXT and even Ethereum's Ether coins with it.
Once you register and verify your email address you will be able to start using the service for selling crypto coins for Euro with a daily limit of 1000 Euro, 7500 Euro monthly limit and 30000 EUR total limit, but you will not be able to buy crypto coins. You would need to go through an additional verification process to increase your limits and get the ability to also buy crypto coins, but the good thing is that right after registration you can immediately test the Bitcoin to PayPal functionality or Bitcoin to SEPA wire transfer. Do note that since the service is targeted at European users if you are from another country you might not be able to go through all levels of verification, but you should still not have trouble using the lower limit levels.
Here are how the different verification levels go and what are the requirements and the limits you get with each of them. Going for the maximum Gold level would give you access to the full functionality offered by the service as well as very high limits for both buying and selling the supported crypto currencies, but in order to pass it you need to verify your identity and provide the respective documents to do that. If you do not require to have high limits and don't need the functionality for buying crypto coins using the service you can be just fine even with the Starter or Bronze plans. For the Bitcoin to PayPal transfer functionality this should be enough with the standard limits you get, at least for checking the service out to see if it will provide you with what you need in terms of functionality.
When you go to the page to sell Bitcoin (or NXTcoin) for Euro and have the money sent to your bank account or to PayPal you have to set an amount of coins you want to sell. There is a limit of minimum 50 Euro equivalent in coins to initiate a transaction and that goes for both BTC and NXT coins, regardless of where you want to transfer them. After you enter the amount in coins you want to sell you will see the base price per Bitcoin and how much you will receive depending on the payout provider you have chosen (minus the service fee). The SEPA wire transfer comes with the lowest fee and the fee for PayPal transfers is apparently higher as it also takes into account the PayPal fees, do note however that the estimate you get in EUR might be a bit less when you go to the final confirmation page for initiating the Bitcoin to PayPal transaction.
After you send the BTC to the wallet address you are given you will have to wait for the network confirmation that can normally take up to about 1-2 hours and then you can expect to see a money transaction to PayPal to be initiated. Since the process can take multiple hours to be completed you will also receive an email when the money have been sent to your PayPal account. In our test for sending about 50 EUR (the minimum) converted from Bitcoin to PayPal the total time needed was about three and a half hours from the moment we have initiated the process until we have got the money in our PayPal account. The good thing here is that unlike Bitwala that use PayPal eCheck for the transfers this service does a normal regular transfer and you have the money available immediately in your PayPal account without having to wait for their confirmation. So if you want to be able to quickly and easily transfer Bitcoins to Euro in your PayPal account, then Coinimal is the better solution available from the two services that we have recently tested, though both of them do work pretty much equally well for BTC to SEPA bank transfers.
– If you want to check out the Coinimal Bitcoin to PayPal transfer service yourself…

By Jonathan Spicer
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Move over inflation and job growth.
The next Federal Reserve chief appears set to direct the central bank's might at ensuring financial stability and stern banking oversight with the same vigor it currently applies to its traditional mandates of fostering price stability and maximum employment.
The question of monitoring and stabilizing Wall Street was a dominant issue during Fed chair-designate Janet Yellen's confirmation hearing before a Senate committee on Thursday. Yellen, widely expected to win Senate backing for the job, said financial regulation should be on par with monetary policymaking on the Fed's list of priorities.
The central bank's current vice chair, Yellen appeared willing to draw fellow governors on the powerful Fed Board into more decisions on stabilizing the still-vulnerable financial system.
In a telling exchange with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Yellen said it was a "worthwhile idea" to consider reinstating regular board meetings to tackle financial supervision, as was the case at the central bank in the 1990s.
In strong language, she also said she was prepared to use traditional monetary policy tools such as higher interest rates to prick any emerging asset-price bubbles, and pledged that addressing too-big-to-fail banks "has to be among the most important goals of the post-crisis period."
While Yellen and current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke often speak of the need to do more to curb Wall Street risk-taking and erase the notion the government will step in to bail out massive banks that get into trouble, as it did in the midst of the crisis, Yellen's testimony hints at a new approach.
"She was unambiguously clear on how the Fed has massively revamped supervision of big banks, and left me with the sense she will spend more time discussing macroprudential oversight with colleagues than in the past," said William O'Donnell, head of Treasury strategy at RBS Americas.
"It suggested they would shift to a better balance of macroprudential and monetary policy."
The Dodd-Frank law in the wake of the 2007-2009 financial crisis and Great Recession tasked the Fed with protecting the overall financial system from risks that could spill into the broader economy, something called macroprudential regulation.
The 2010 law effectively doubled down on the central bank's regulation of Wall Street, even though Fed policymakers - including Yellen, who ran the San Francisco Fed at the time - failed to avert the crisis in the first place.
Absorbing this fresh supervision task into the Fed's traditional dual mandate of stable prices and full employment has proven tricky: requiring banks to hold more and better-quality capital can for example clash with the Fed's desire for those banks to ramp up lending to spur investment, hiring and economic growth in the wake of the recession.
There also appears to be internal disagreement on how best to stamp out financial risks.
Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher is alone among U.S. central bankers in calling on regulators to go beyond Dodd-Frank and simply break up the too-big banks; and earlier this year Fed Governor Jeremy Stein set off a debate over whether the Fed should battle asset bubbles with tighter policies.
Yellen said on Thursday she does not yet see the broad buildup of leverage that threatens financial stability. Nor does she feel that U.S. stock prices - which are at record highs thanks in large part to the Fed's ultra easy policies - are in "bubble-like" territory.
Yet toward the end of the two-hour confirmation hearing, Yellen told Warren the Fed's "supervisory capabilities are critical and they are just as important as monetary policy." She added that despite some logistical hurdles, it could be possible to better involve policymakers in key regulatory decisions that are usually handled by staff.
"I remember in the 1990s that the board did regularly meet to discuss supervisory issues ... and I did consider those very valuable," Yellen said. "So I think that's a very worthwhile idea."
Those regular meetings faded as the Fed under Alan Greenspan and in the early stages of Bernanke's chairmanship favored a hands-off approach to bank regulation. Yellen, who was president of the San Francisco Fed from 2004-2010, is still smarting that she and other regulators failed to "connect the dots," as she put it in 2010, between loose lending practices and a overpriced housing market that helped spark the crisis.
Warren is an influential Democrat who made her name pushing tougher rules for banks, and she played a big role in the lobbying effort that knocked Yellen challenger Lawrence Summers out of contention for Fed chair earlier this year.
At the hearing, the senator highlighted a $9-billion settlement the Fed and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency reached with several banks accused of improper foreclosures. Warren criticized the decision to simply let staffers lead the effort, instead of having Fed governors vote on the deal.
Such matters are typically handled by regulation experts at the central bank and spearheaded by Governor Daniel Tarullo, the Fed's point-person and chair of a three-governor committee on bank supervision that includes Stein and Jerome Powell.
"Tarullo has been carrying this load virtually single-handedly," said Ernest Patrikis, a partner at White & Case and a former first vice president at the New York Fed. "The question is, will that change with more Board involvement in evolving issues and matters?"

In an effort to make meat production more humane, alleviate hunger and help curb global warming, Dutch researchers have developed a way to grow edible meat in the laboratory from the stem cells of pigs. Although the lab-grown strips of meat don't yet taste or look much like pork (researchers say it has the consistency and feel of scallop), the ramifications for the new technology on the world's food supply could be significant.
"If we took the stem cells from one pig and multiplied it by a factor of a million, we would need one million fewer pigs to get the same amount of meat," said Mark Post, a biologist at Maastricht University involved in the project.
That means the technology could provide food for more people while making the slaughterhouse obsolete. Furthermore, since meat production is such a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, switching to lab-produced meat could theoretically lower the industry's impact on global warming by up to 95 percent.
Of course, the technology does have its share of critics. Some health experts caution that consuming lab-made meats could have unforeseen dangers to human health. Furthermore, there are concerns that such radical plans to reduce our dependency on livestock and farm animals could harm agricultural ecosystems.
It's also doubtful that bacon lovers and foodies would ever trade in the real thing for spongy lab meat. Not even the Dutch researchers responsible for growing the meat have been brave enough to try it yet, and they admit it's probably a long way off from tasting like real pork.
"Part of our enjoyment of eating meat depends on the very complicated muscle and fat structure ... whether that can be replicated is still a question," said biochemist Peter Ellis.
Even so, the scientists involved in the project think the benefits of the technology far exceed the risks. And as the process is perfected, they believe they can produce tastier meat which might actually be better for you than the real thing.
For instance, fish stem cells could be used to produce healthy omega 3 fatty acids, which could then be produced instead of the usual artery-clogging fats found in traditional livestock meat.
"You could possibly design a hamburger that prevents heart attacks instead of causing them," said Jason Matheny, an expert on the technology from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
So far the only types of meat researchers are proposing to make this way are processed meats such as minced meat, hamburgers or hot dogs. It could also potentially be a source of protein for pet food.
"As long as it's cheap enough and has been proven to be scientifically valid, I can't see any reason people wouldn't eat it," said Stig Omholt, a genetics expert at the University of Life Sciences in Norway. "If you look at the sausages and other things people are willing to eat these days, this should not be a big problem."

Dobbs as in Roy Hobbs
Well, it wasn't exactly an offensive epidemic, but a win is a win. Now, we need a win tonight to make it two out of three, the formula needed to wind up on top at the end of the season.
Cole Hamels dominated again. Can't pitch much better. The enemy hasn't scored against him in 17 innings now.
Greg Dobbs came through as a pinch-hitter….again. Hitting is difficult. Pinch-hitting is even more difficult but Dobbs has the knack to do it consistently. He's become the Roy Hobbs of pinch-hitters.
It is only May 21 and he already has 10 pinch-hits and 9 pinch-RBI. He's halfway to his club record for pinch-RBI he set a year ago. Phillies records on pinch-RBI date back to 1950. So, if anybody out there has pinch-RBI info beyond 1950, send it to me.
We do have club records on pinch-hitting dating back to 1862. The record for the most pinch-hits is 20 by Roy (Doc) Miller in 1913. The left-handed hitting Canadian only had 10 other hits that year. Dobbs will do better.
Coste Meets Senator
Chris met Senator Kent Conrad the senior Senator from his home state of North Dakota earlier today.
Senator Conrad had contacted the Phillies to arrange a personal meeting the next time the Phillies were in the nation's capital. Chris talked baseball and signed some of his books for the staff.
The visit included a tour of the Capital building and lunch in the Senate Dining Room.
It turns out that the Senator's senior aid, Chris Thome, is a Phillies fan from Philadelphia. Another aid is Jayme Fugelsten, a member of the original Knothole Gang of the Fargo Red Wings where Coste once played.
This Date
In Phillies history……
1936 OF Ethan Allen and P Curt Davis traded to Chicago Cubs for OF Chuck Klein, P Fabian Kowalik and $50,000.
1967 Phillies used only two pitchers in a 2-1, 18-inning win over the Cincinnati Reds at Connie Mack Stadium. LHP Chris Short worked the first 12 innings and RHP Dick Hall the last 6. Guess they didn't pay attention to pitch counts back then.

Winter Equine Care
Here are some points to bear in mind over the winter period.
- It is very important that a horse has shelter against the snow and frost and can be either natural or manmade.
- A shelter shed should be built in the corner of a field with its back to the prevailing wind and easily accessible for feeding. It should be positioned so that a horse cannot get trapped between it and the boundary fence. A shed which is open fronted will also lessen the possibility of one horse being cornered and injured by another. Also don't remove the cobwebs as they act as a useful and free trap for flies. You may not see your horses using the shelter that much in the winter, but with freezing temperatures at night-time it will trap their heat and keep them warm.
- Most Irish horses, like the draught and cob, will not need rugs. If the horse is fit and healthy, their own coat will keep them comfortable and warm, but if he has been clipped, or if his coat is very fine and he is groomed regularly then you will need to put a rug on to protect him from the cold. This is why the grass kept horse should not be groomed on a regular basis. You should check for any cuts, bumps or bruises on a daily basis, but only give him a light groom such as cleaning the feet and removing heavy mud and sweat marks. This will allow the horse to maintain the natural oil balance in his coat and reduce the need to use a rug.
- Before using your rugs make sure they are clean and in good repair and are waterproof. It is better to leave a horse with no rug then to leave them in a rug that is wet through. Also make sure that your rugs are the right size for your horse or pony – this will help keep them warm and also reduce accidents.
- Check rugs on the horse every day to make sure they have not slipped and are rubbing on the withers. Also that they are still dry against the horses skin.
- You should remove the rug every day and reposition it – also when doing this you can check over the horse to make sure they are not hiding any injuries.
- If you are able to exercise your horse in the winter weather remember to warm them up and cool them down properly.
- After exercise don't let your horse drink water straight from the trough – it could be too cold and will shock their hot system. Instead, mix warm water with cold water so that it is tepid.
- If you are going to take your horse out to exercise them and the area is covered in snow, put Vaseline or vegetable oil inside the hoof and around the outside – this will stop the snow from balling underfoot. Once finished exercising make sure to remove the oil and dry their feet, otherwise you are leaving a very good breeding ground for bacteria.
- After exercise remove all sweat marks and give them a good brush – if you must wash your horse, either dry them under heat lamps or with a towel.
Food / Water:
- If a stream runs through the field make sure that the approach to the water is not steep or likely to cause injury to the horse if covered in ice or snow. Also the water should be free flowing and not stagnant. If there is no stream in the field then you need to supply water to the field. A large trough or old bathtubs with smooth edges are ideal. They should be checked and cleaned regularly at the very least twice a day and any ice taken out during cold weather. Also make sure that the pipes feeding the trough are well insulated so that they don't freeze.
- Your outdoor horse will not have access to much grass when there is heavy snow and ice on the ground so it is important to keep a regular supply of hay in the field for them. Give more hay at night-time then during the day as the temperature will have dropped and they will eat the hay to keep warm.
- If you are keeping your horses stabled and are not able to exercise them regularly you may need to cut back on the hard feed. Too much hard feed and not enough exercise can lead to many problems – your horse can get restless and difficult to handle. Over feeding can also cause illnesses such as colic and laminitis. So reduce the hard feed and increase the hay.
- If your horses either in or out are not used to hay introduce it to their diet gradually so that they do not develop colic.
- If your horse is cold, you have finished exercising or finishing a heavy ride out / event then give your horse a warm bran mash.
- In wintertime it is very important to treat any injuries or illness as soon as possible. Anything which compromises your horses health can lead to secondary infections setting in and causing more serious problems.
- Avoid excess washing, this can lead to your horse getting cold and so burning off more energy and body fat trying to get warm.
- If your horse's leg are covered in mud either let the mud dry and then brush off or if you must wash their legs then thoroughly dry them afterwards before letting them back out into the muddy ground – this will help reduce mud fever.
- Don't forget to worm your horse – the ground may be hard and the worm burden low but routine worming year round will help your horse keep a low worm count.
- Make sure your horse is micro-chipped – horses can sometimes stray if they are looking for food and this will help you be reunited quicker.
- Ponies and horses that live outdoors may not always look great during winter time. Their coat can look wet and dishevelled. If you are worried about the condition of a horse check with the owner or either the horse or the field where you see the horse.

Born and raised in Maryland, Mark began playing guitar and singing professionally at the age of 14 and continued doing so into his thirties. His passion for visual arts did not take root until early mid-life, when he discovered his interest in visual arts. After struggling for years with alcohol dependence, Mark discovered that his passion for art helped the healing process in recovery, and led to a spiritual connection to every painting he creates. While Mark's music can still be heard on his website or in infrequent live performances, his band and Vintage Guitar business became avocations, while art became his vocation and passion.
Mark, a graduate of the University of Maryland, studied figurative and portrait painting at Nelson Shanks' Studio Incamminati in Pennsylvania, The Art League School in Alexandria, VA., and he attended several master artist workshops throughout the country, honing his skills depicting human form and painting live models regularly. Mark loves the old masters, such as Bouguereau, Schengel, Tissot, Harlamoff, DuBlaas, Andriotti, and Enjolras, among many others, and he strives to merge their techniques with his own style and vision.
Mark strives to create beautiful color harmony with a tasteful but vibrant-color palette, and to fuse same into carefully conceived compositions, using bold strokes, and impasto, yet creating a delicate rendering of the human face and form to capture the essence of his subjects on canvas.
Mark travels throughout Europe and America have provided inspiration for his images. He works with local models, including one who has been used in many of the famous Pino's portraits.
Mark has won numerous awards including: 2006 Portrait Society of America Children's Portrait Competition; 2007 Women's Club of Chevy Chase, MD Annual Art Show; 2005 Rockville Art League Art Show Winner and his
art has been featured in magazines including: Capitol File Magazine 2008; Washington Spaces Magazine 2007 and 2006; Who's Who of Strathmore Worldwide 2007-2008; Preview Magazine Art Expo, NY 2007; Strathmore Applause Magazine cover 2006; Art Business News Magazine 2006 and 2005. Mark's listings and memberships include the American Artist - www.askart.com, Montgomery Gazette 2005; Oil Painters of America OPA; Portrait Artist Society of America; and the International Guild of Realism, Scottsdale, AZ.
In 2008, Mark was voted into the prestigious Art Renewal Center's Living Masters group as a "Living Artist". Now at ARC (www.Artrenewal.org), which features some of the world's best known, living oil painters.
Mark's paintings are available primarily from MarkLovettStudio, in private collections throughout the world, and from time to time, Mark makes some paintings available to galleries throughout the U.S.
