Interview: Phoenix City Prosecutor on Religious Freedom in Jailed Pastor Case (Pt. 2)
The case involving jailed Arizona Pastor Michael Salman has catapulted the issue of religious freedom and freedom of assembly versus zoning law to the national spotlight. The complex case goes back to seven years ago when the Salmans first started holding Bible study at their 4.6-acre property. Now more than five judges later, a 60-day jail sentence, and a $12,000 fine, the case is anything but simple.
In part 1 of CP's conversation with chief prosecutor of Phoenix Aaron J. Carreon-Ainsa, we heard why the city was troubled by Salman's weekly Bible study in his 2,000-square-foot game room. Now in the second part of the interview, Carreon-Ainsa will address concerns that the city violated Salman's religious freedom, the court order limiting only 12 people or less in the pastor's home, and a police "raid" on the property.
The following is an edited transcript of the conversation that explores the city's side of the argument.
CP: Has the city of Phoenix dealt with any other cases similar to that of Mr. Salman, where a large Bible study group meets at a private property?
Carreon-Ainsa: I don't know one way or the other whether this has happened before in Phoenix. Certainly we have prosecuted for people building without a permit, but I would say that the vast majority of people abide by the law.
CP: As you can imagine there is strong response from Christians across the nation who hear about this case because they hear someone is trying to have a Bible study in their home, and now this ordained pastor is going to jail. So there have been emotions ranging from rage to fearfulness that the government is encroaching on people's religious freedom and their right to worship. What do you have to say to people that feel this way about the city of Phoenix when they hear about this case?
Carreon-Ainsa: Well I explain to them the evidence that was presented in court and when people who listen to what I and others in the office explain they say, "Well I didn't know that. That wasn't included in the YouTube." In the city of Phoenix there is no place where building a church is prohibited. Because building a church or building anything where people could be affected by the building, we have a code that requires certain things to be done for people's safety. As I say, it doesn't matter whether the person is playing cards or whether the person is preaching the Bible – that is our concern. It just happens to be in this instance the man says he's preaching the Bible, he's having Bible study.
Did you see his most recent YouTube video that preceded him going to jail? I think the last scene is there at the jail where he is reporting. In one of the scenes he is embracing his children, his daughters, and he's doing that inside this assembly room, right in front of the first row of many rows of chairs. And I think it's very clear when one looks at that, he isn't in a situation where he is holding Bible study with a small group of family members in his living room. So the case has nothing to do with whether he is preaching the Bible or anything. It is that he is inviting people to assemble there and that is an assembly use according to the Phoenix city code and I would say that he should take better care of his flock.
CP: In his video, Mr. Salman said something about a limit of only 12 people allowed to gather in his home. Does the city of Phoenix have a limit of 12 family members allowed to gather in a home or can the limit also apply to 12 non-family members in someone's home?
Carreon-Ainsa: I am so happy you made this call, and I'll tell you why, because it has to do with the truth. And someone once said the truth shall make you free. So I am very thankful you are calling and asking me these questions. Because the 12-persons limit is part of the sentence. It is not part of the city's code. It is part of the sentence imposed by the Phoenix city judge after the trial.
The judgment and sentence order that was entered and issued by the judge in which it is ordered, "No further assemblies/more than 12 people at 7601 North 31st Ave, Phx, Az, until property brought into compliance with all Phx City Codes Building codes, fire codes, safety codes and in accordance with all laws."
So that is pretty clear, isn't it?
The city code does not limit a gathering of family members to 12 people. There are some families whose numbers exceed 12, and the city code does not include a number. The judge says until you, Mr. Salman, abide by the law, you can only have 12 people at that address assemble.
CP: In the YouTube video, Mr. Salman was driving around his neighborhood and showing how the people in his neighborhood had a lot of cars in their driveway and on the street, but nothing happened to them. Then he showed that on his property they had cars but they were all behind a gate that was far from the street. Can you explain what the city's concern is because watching that video one feels that Mr. Salman is being targeted.
Carreon-Ainsa: Well, ma'am, the city responded to complaints from members of the neighborhood. Now it's a neighborhood in Phoenix where there are 12 churches, they pre-existed Mr. Salman and his family arriving in the neighborhood. The neighbors complained about the use of the property, and the way any city does when a city receives a complaint, the city investigated. And it started I believe in 2006, and here we are six years later. Some might criticize the city for having taken so long, but that is a discussion for another day. But we responded to people's complaints because they are our constituency. They are the reason we exist.
CP: Can you tell me about the normal protocol for your investigation? Because Mr. Salman said in his video he wasn't notified there were complaints, he just suddenly saw a lot of officers show up and raid his home. Is that normal that you're not informed?
Carreon-Ainsa: I believe that you said you read the so-called fact sheet issued by the city. There were discussions and discussions and discussions and more discussions with Mr. Salman before any, any actions were taken. So it could not have come as a surprise to him.
CP: So he was aware that his neighbors did complain?
Carreon-Ainsa: Yes! Well, I am not going to say that he was aware, that is in his head. But what I am saying is he, Mr. Salman, was involved in discussions with the city because the city was responding to complaints from the neighbors.
CP: So this was over a period of months?
Carreon-Ainsa: Since 2006, so it has been over a period of years.
CP: I'm scheduled to talk to Mr. Salman's lawyer also today and make sure I have both sides and let people be the judge.
Carreon-Ainsa: Okay, well we've had five judges already look at this case, including two United States district court judges and one appellate state court judge. We all draw our own conclusions.

Stanislaw Moniuszko is the major figure in Polish music between Chopin and Szymanowski, but he hardly compares in stature with either of those giants. His music is a standard product of provincial mid-Romanticism: tuneful, workmanlike, often charming - and rarely inspired. His considerable standing in Poland owes much to political factors: with the first performance of his opera Halka in 1858, he made his mark as a patriot at a time when Polish culture had been thoroughly suppressed by the occupying Russians - even the language was banned.
These two collections of operatic overtures and other short orchestral works, which overlap in all but three works, fill a gap in the catalogue - but it wasn't one that urgently needed filling. The form of the typical Moniuszko operatic overture is a simple patchwork of dance-tunes and marches. Some of them rise above this mundanity: the overture to Jawnuta, for example, on the CPO but not the Olympia CD, shows an orchestral imagination that owes something to the welcome influence of Berlioz; and the Halka Overture features music of genuine dramatic punch.
The Olympia recordings are thirty to forty years older than those on CPO: the first three date from 1952, conducted by Jan Krenz and and by the then Grand Old Man of Polish music-making, Grzegorz Fitelberg, close friend and supporter of Szymanowski and practical head of the "Young Poland" group that Szymanowski helped form in the hope of shaking Poland out of its provincial torpor. These recordings show what a good conductor Fitelberg was, for he gets a sparkle out of these largely workaday scores that the generally more cautious Robert Satanowski doesn't manage to find. The other Olympia recordings were made by Witold Rowicki in 1964; he, too, obtains much livelier performances than Satanowski, who, unsurprisingly, has a much better recorded sound for his dragging tempi.
Nor will the Chant du Monde CD of four of Moniuszko's religious choral works do much to set the seas on fire. If you are expecting an anticipation of the ecstatic intensity of, say, Szymanowski's Stabat Mater, forget it - this is music written for church use: there is no attempt to impress, there are no diverting melodies. It's just simple, honest music that doesn't hang around anywhere in the brain after you've listened to it. The performances are just up to the mark. Indeed, in its lack of superstar brilliance and the open vocal quality of its largely youthful performers, what you hear on this CD is probably very close to what Moniuszko would have expected in the Polish churches of his day. That's a recommendation of sorts, but I am afraid I can't many other reasons to enthuse about it.

Side-Entry Rotary Airlock Valve
This side-entry rotary airlock valve is used in applications where product shearing is a concern. The valve name derives from the offset inlet and outlet flanges, where the product enters the side of the rotor instead of the top. On a normal valve, shearing takes place as the rotor rotates into the housing. When these two straight edges meet on a typical drop-thru rotary airlock, this provides a pinch area where the product can shear or jam. With the side-entry rotary airlock, the product is caught on the upswing of the rotor blades so that the product is constantly falling away from the shear point. The rotor pockets also do not fill up completely, which additionally reduces the likelihood of shearing. Lastly, the throat has a V shape that helps push product out of the way. Sizes from 6 to 20 in. are available.
Carolina Conveying Inc., Canton, NC 828-235-1005 www.carolinaconveying.com
Rotary Airlock
The MSRP series Parallel Bore rotary airlock is designed so the maximum number of blades remain in contact with the body at one time without affecting throughput. A substantial throat opening at the valve entry allows high pocket filling efficiency. There is minimum clearance at the rotor tips and the sides with the body. Robust body construction prevents distortion. Sizes range from 6 to 16 in. with square or round flange patterns. This valve is suitable for operation up to 750°F and conveying pressures of 20 psi.

Ah, I see the disconnect. You're talking about 50-50 cards instead of clans and treating +pill as an ability. Having 1 or 2 pill manip cards in your deck is totally fine and not 50-50ish at all. Heck, I've used grudg to get to 1400 elo before and I'm a huge fan of tremorh. A timely pill manip played in the third round is a great way to *prevent* 3rd/4th round 50-50s.
However, having an entire deck made up of pill manip cards is *very* chancey.. Instead of facing an opponent with tremorh, you're facing a opponent with a hand of Tremorh Taham Nobrodroid and Gil. There's a very good chance your game will devolve into a 50-50. A pill manip card or two in a deck is fine. Making a clan full of them can very well lead to unnecessarily chancey situations. It's like the difference between putting Jean in your deck and playing mono GHEIST
KillerYuri Hero Tuesday 23/10/2012, 03:41
according to UR's style, the next clan should have a bonus as defeat: +2 life or something like copy bonus oppo, or even protect power and damage, let's see.
ghelas Titan E X C A L I B U R Tuesday 23/10/2012, 06:16
I feel like it all comes down to good old-fashioned math... Let's imagine that abilities and bonuses (or is it boni?) are interchangeable. For our purposes, I think they are. Now let's go through your example.
The hand you're suggesting is definitely a bit scary under the right conditions. A 3-round win is possible against many hands, and an early Gil win or something like that does set up a 50/50 situation (if you don't block the next pill manip guy, and you're probably going to lose.) But here are some important differences between that hand and the proposed clan:
1) There's a lot more pill manip than 2 per card. Gil has 3 and Nobrodroid has 4.
2) Because of the Junkz bonus, all of these cards have attack manip built in. That is important because it makes 3-rounding with this hand much easier. What are the odds that, when playing mono Theoretical Clan, I will draw a hand full of 8 attack manip on ability?
This is why #2 is really important... Imagine that I attack you with a 2-pilled Gil. Now imagine that because you are pretty sure he's a 1-pill bluff, you just 3-pill a 7 power with, say, a damage bonus. Gil still wins, resulting in a net loss of not 3 but 4 pills. See how the attack manip functions there?
If you can imagine a hand where everybody has +2 pills, and diverse abilities instead of all +8 attack, you will probably find that it is much less likely to create a 50/50 3 round situation.

Dr. Astrida Kaugars is a clinical child and pediatric psychologist. Her research activities address two areas of interest:
Her approach to research represents an integration of child development, pediatric psychology, and developmental psychopathology perspectives.
Dr. Kaugars completed her doctoral work in clinical psychology at Case Western Reserve University. After her predoctoral internship at The Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Kaugars completed postdoctoral training at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and National Jewish Health.
Dr. Kaugars teaches two undergraduate courses: Psychology of the Exceptional Child (PSYC 3130) and Health Psychology (PSYC 3420). At the graduate level she teaches Advanced Research Methods (PSYC 8125) and co-teaches Psychological Assessment 1 (PSYC 8301) and Principles of Child Psychopathology and Intervention (PSYC 8420). Dr. Kaugars also supervises clinical psychology doctoral students seeing clients in the Center for Psychological Services.
Dr. Kaugars has an active research program examining how child and family factors influence adaptation and adjustment among children at risk due to chronic illness. Most recently Dr. Kaugars has collaborated with colleagues on numerous studies examining how individual and family characteristics are associated with illness management and psychosocial functioning among adolescents with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. She has also conducted research studies with families of children with wheezing in infancy and children with functional constipation and fecal incontinence. Dr. Kaugars utilizes multiple methodologies in her research including observational methods, self- and other-report measures, and interviews.
Dr. Kaugars is also interested in examining socioemotional processes in children and families. She has a particular interest in understanding the role of children's pretend play in development and adjustment. She has used a measure of pretend play to assess cognitive and affective processes among both school-age and preschool-age children. Research underway seeks to examine associations among children's play, social relationships, and family functioning. Dr. Kaugars is also interested in how parent-child interaction characteristics, emotional expression, individual family members' responses to stress, and emotion regulation interact to affect child and family functioning.
Dr. Kaugars' research program has practical applications for examining normative development as well as working with diverse pediatric and clinical populations.
In 2014, Dr. Kaugars received a grant from the Clinical and Translational Science Institute of Southeastern Wisconsin for the study entitled, "Family Influences on Type 1 Diabetes Management in Young Children."

Honestly, what did we do before we had all of these handy little resources at our fingertips? A very interesting question, indeed. Through the miracle of the magic Google box...Tornado wrote:I would be interested in knowing the Mormon position on this suicides in hell is, actually, as it would be the most telling point, as it would reveal what SM's viewpoint was, which likely leaked over into this scene. If Mormons do believe that people who suicide automatically go to hell then Edward's belief that Bella is in hell would probably be significant. If not, then I think it was more just his assumption that, if he went anywhere when he died, it would have to be hell.
While I did not, in my limited and quick research, find a specific post that stated, "The Church of JC of LDS feels X about suicide...", this website is officially recognized as a learned resource by church leadership. It's validity is yours to judge. It does make the current debate very interesting in light of the stated position that there is, in fact, no black and white delineation of suicide within the church. Raised a "cafeteria Catholic" myself, the idea that Edward might have feared for Bella's sould based upon the consequences of what he might have seen as a suicide never really occurred to me. But, it is certainly a possibility, depending on Edward's learnings of religion. There's really no way to truly know, is there? But, all other arguments aside, many Judeo-Christian religions do see suicide as a sin. The consequences vary, but there is at least a general belief that delineates suicide as taking human life, which is frowned upon. So, it is a valid argument. Interesting.MormonWoman.org wrote:First, in this article, Elder M. Russell Ballard (a current member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) shares quotes and thoughts that help explore this question further. He says:
I feel that judgement for sin is not always as cut-and-dried as some of us seem to think…. I feel the Lord recognized differences in intent and circumstances: Was the person who took his life mentally ill? Was he or she so deeply depressed as to be unbalanced or otherwise emotionally disturbed? Was the suicide a tragic, pitiful call for help that went unheeded too long or progressed faster than the victim intended? Did he or she somehow not understand the seriousness of the act? Was he or she suffering from a chemical imbalance in their system that led to despair and a loss of self-control?
Obviously, we do not know the full circumstances surrounding every suicide. Only the Lord knows all the details, and he it is who will judge our actions here on earth.
When he does judge us, I feel he will take all things into consideration: our genetic and chemical makeup, our mental state, our intellectual capacity, the teachings we have received, the traditions of our fathers, our health, and so forth….Suicide is a sin—a very grievous one, yet the Lord will not judge the person who commits that sin strictly by the act itself. The Lord will look at that person's circumstances and the degree of his accountability at the time of the act.
I think this is what Cullenists refer to as gospel truth.Tornado wrote: I think that just shows that Bella never believed for a moment that Edward was a monster, and that he had lost his soul.

but now I wanna get the current seconds(like the time() in time.h) and the microseconds that within one second(this is the point),
How can I convert the 100-nanoseconds value to what I want?

From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) has recently come under fire for (now) supporting offshore oil drilling after McCain, whom Crist supports, called for allowing states to make individual decisions about drilling for oil in American waters.
While hosting the 2008 Serve to Preserve Florida Summit on Global Climate Change today, Crist defended his decision.
"In fact, what we're talking about is a comprehensive approach to providing the resources and fuel that our people need and doing it in a way that is safe enough, far enough from our shore, and clean enough," Crist told reporters. "So I don't think there's any problem with that so long as those three tenets are met."
Earlier, during the opening speech of the summit, Crist called for a new energy future to begin in the sunshine state.
"We laid the foundation of our energy future last year; this year it is time to make it happen," Crist said in downtown Miami. "I truly believe that in investing in renewable and alternative technologies here in the sunshine state can propel us as a leader. We can become the green technology hub, the silicon valley of green, if you will. Florida can be known as the energy and green industry leaders in the world."
In speaking with the reporters, Crist used the purchasing of Everglades land as an example of what Florida is doing to achieve this status.
"And what we announced yesterday as it relates to the Everglades, I think, is one of the most exciting things that Florida has ever done in the environmental arena," Crist said. "This is such a treasure. The need for us to protect it and preserve it is first and foremost of this administration."

Bridal Veil Falls is located in the Apuseni Mountains, Cluj county, Romania (of course).
There is a legend, saying that the name of the waterfall comes from a tragic accident of a bride on her wedding day, who fell right from the cliffs of the mountains, its veil remaining hooked. It is said that the wedding guests stopped the party and cried for the bride and in that very spot came to life a waterfall: "Bridal Veil."

Thoracic Surgery
The thoracic surgeons at the University of Chicago Medicine offer patients the latest treatment options -- including video-assisted and robotic procedures -- for diseases of the lungs, esophagus and mediastinum. Nationally recognized leaders in the thoracic surgery field, our surgeons routinely treat individuals who have complex disease and/or coexisting medical problems as well as patients who have had previous thoracic surgical procedures.
- Why Choose a Thoracic Surgeon?
- Minimally Invasive Techniques Improve Outcomes
- Nationally Recognized Cancer Program
- Comprehensive Treatment for Lung Disorders
- Leaders in Lung Transplantation
- Surgical Care for Esophageal Conditions
Why Choose a Thoracic Surgeon?
Patients with lung cancer have better outcomes and higher cure rates when treated by a thoracic surgeon. For example, a recent study of outcomes after lung cancer surgery demonstrated fewer complications and a higher success rate of cancerous node removal in patients who had their procedures performed by a thoracic surgeon, rather than a cardiac or general surgeon. Our board certified thoracic surgeons concentrate solely on treating conditions in the thoracic cavity.
At the University of Chicago Medicine, our thoracic surgeons work on an integrated team that also includes pulmonologists, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, gastroenterologists and critical care medicine specialists. This multidisciplinary team approach enables our specialists to consider many treatment options and ensures that each patient gets optimal care.
Our thoracic surgery team actively participates in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Database, an important initiative that collects patient care outcomes data to help surgeons benchmark and improve quality of care.
Minimally Invasive Techniques Improve Outcomes
Our surgeons have long been leaders in minimally invasive surgery for thoracic conditions. Minimally invasive techniques, which include video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robot-assisted procedures, reduce pain and scarring, shorten the length of hospital stay and decrease the time to return to normal activities. These benefits are why our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques for approximately 70 percent of major lung resection surgeries -- a remarkable achievement over the nationwide average of 40 percent.
Thoracic surgeons often use minimally invasive techniques to perform these procedures:
- Removal of early stage lung cancer
- Removal of esophageal cancer
- Removal of mediastinal tumors
- Treatment of achalasia
- Treatment of Barrett's esophagus
- Treatment of chest wall conditions
- Lung biopsy
- Repair of large diaphragmatic hernias
- Sympathectomy for excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis)

- Minimally invasive surgery for lung, mediastinal and pleural diseases
- Minimally invasive surgery for esophageal conditions
Nationally Recognized Cancer Program
Our thoracic surgeons are members of the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center -- ranked among the best in the nation by U.S.News & World Report. Surgeons work closely with thoracic oncologists and other specialists to diagnose and treat cancers of the lung, esophagus, pleura and thymus. Learn more about cancers treated by our thoracic surgeons:
Comprehensive Treatment for Lung Disorders
In addition to lung cancer, our thoracic surgeons treat a variety of other lung conditions, including:
- Pulmonary nodules (small masses in the lungs): Because lung nodules could indicate evidence of lung cancer, they need to be accurately diagnosed and treated. After evaluation, our surgeons may perform minimally invasive surgery to treat the nodules.
- Pleural effusion (excess fluid around the lungs): We use a video-assisted thoracoscopic technique to perform pleurodesis or to insert small drainage catheters. Both are designed to stop fluid build-up.
- Pneumothorax (collapsed lung): When a patient's lung collapses more than once, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is performed to prevent it from recurring.
Leaders in Lung Transplantation
The University of Chicago Medicine also has one of the leading lung transplant programs in the country. Our highly experienced team of thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, and anesthesiologists have cared for hundreds of lung transplant patients. »Read more about our lung transplantation program.
Surgical Care for Esophageal Conditions
We provide surgical treatments for esophageal disorders, including esophageal cancer and benign esophageal diseases:
- Esophageal cancer is often treated by surgical removal, but we also perform simpler procedures to improve swallowing, such as laser therapy and stent placement.
- Surgery to treat achalasia is often performed using minimally invasive techniques as well.
- When other treatments for Barrett's esophagus are not enough, our surgeons can remove the esophagus (esophagectomy), typically performed using minimally invasive techniques

We recently came across this great new men's t-shirt label, t-lab. We loved their distinctive style mixing art, design and popular culture.
The shirts overall have a punchy 'less is more' graphic style and rely on the use of strong colours and shapes. We loved how the semi-abstract graphics invite the viewer
to 'de-code' the shirt's message, while clearly drawing influence from music, surfing and skiing.
To top it off all t-lab shirts are made from heavyweight 100% cotton, from suppliers committed to sustainable social and environmental policies.
We liked what the guys over at t-lab were doing so much that Brandish has teamed up with them to give you the chance to win some awesome new swag. To win two t-shirts of your choice simply go check out their site here then leave us a comment or tweet to tell us which shirt is your favourite and why.
The winner will be selected at random on March 31st.

Errors doom Trinity in setback at Bedford
April 22. 2013 10:12PM
Errors continue to plague Trinity of Manchester.
Pat Watson singled home Ben Philbrook with two outs in the home seventh to lead Bedford to a 6-5 Division I baseball win over the Pioneers Monday at Riley Field in Bedford.
The Pioneers committed four errors, giving them 25 this season in seven games. Trinity (4-3) has lost two one-run games and one game by two runs.
"It's frustrating because we're getting strong pitching from our entire staff," said Trinity coach Eddie Poisson. "We're just not giving our pitchers the support they need on defense."
Bedford (3-2) erased a 4-1 deficit with a four-run, sixth inning rally highlighted by a solo homer from Andy Lalonde and a two-run single from Chris Danielson.
Trinity tied the game 5-5 in the seventh inning when Connor Walsh belted a two-out single to plate Carmen Giampetruzzi.
In the third, Ryan Boldin doubled in a run and Ryan Slatky followed with a two-run double. A wild pitch in the fifth inning allowed Zack Szczechowicz to score, giving Trinity a 4-1 cushion.
On Wednesday, Bedford will host Manchester Memorial while at 1 p.m. Trinity plays Manchester Central at Gill Stadium.

Stories and photos from my Grandmother Virginia's parents.
Jacob and Eva married in Oklahoma in 1901 and began a family right away. Unfortunately, both Jacob and Eva lived short lives and very few stories remain of them. As you can see by the chart below their children were all young when their father died and all still young when their mother died. Willie had a very troubled youth and was in prison within a relatively short time after his mother's death. Bernita married the year before Eva died. The rest of the Lineberry children went to live with various Lineberry relatives in the Galax, Virginia area. None of the boys had a steady home but went from home to home. Grammy told me that Johnnie lived in Galax and worked at a furniture factory. Leonard & George lived together with Everett Bryant (who owned a saw mill) and Leonard worked there until he was 15. The Bryant's lived near Uncle Ab. George lived with Leonard while Leonard worked and George went to school. George also lived with the Russell's but he would hardly stay with anyone but Leonard or Harv. Joe worked in a saw mill with Euliss. Virginia stayed in one home, her Uncle Dave and Aunt Piety's and only occasionally got to see her brothers. By 1929 Bernita drove to Virginia and brought her siblings who wanted to come back to Oklahoma with her.

Natural gas futures jumped to the highest price in more than a month after a government report showed a bigger-than-forecast U.S. stockpile decline.
Gas rose as much as 2.5%, reversing a 1.6% drop, after the Energy Information Administration said stockpiles fell 148 billion cubic feet last week to 3.168 trillion. Analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg showed an expected decrease of 139 billion.
"It's a supportive report," said Stephen Schork, president of Schork Group Inc., a consulting group in Villanova, Pennsylvania. "The current weather and weather forecasts for key gas-consuming areas for the weeks ahead are supportive of prices."
Natural gas for February delivery increased 6.9 cents, or 2%, to $3.504 per million British thermal units at 10:43 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after rising as to $3.52, the highest intraday price since Dec. 10. Gas was trading at $3.436 before the storage report was released at 10:30 a.m. Trading volume was 79% above the 100-day average. Gas has climbed 41% from a year ago.
A supply surplus to the five-year average increased to 11.1% from 10.7% the previous week. Supplies were 4.4% below year-earlier levels, widening the deficit from 2.6% the previous week.
Colder Weather
Weather models show there will be a "bigger cold outbreak" sweeping across the Northeastern, mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states from Jan. 22 through Jan. 26, according to Commodity Weather Group LLC in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
The low in New York City on Jan. 22 may be 19 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 7 Celsius), 8 below the usual reading, and Chicago will drop to 13 degrees, 5 below normal, according to AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania.
About 50% of U.S. households use gas for heating, EIA data show.
Factoring in weather, Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York, said his models indicate that lower gas prices earlier this month may have spurred coal-to-gas switching among power generators.
Cold weather in the Southwest may also have curtailed production in the San Juan and Permian basins, where producers don't normally invest in cold weather gear, he said.

One of our readers told us he just bought his first cellphone, after decades without.
He went right past the cheap drug store phones and straight into smartphone territory. The deals right now make it worthwhile. He got a $259 Android smartphone he�s mainly using for Google maps and the Web, paying only $19 a month to Republic Wireless.
Virgin Mobile offers Apple�s iPhone 4 on a no-contract plan. It�s $35 a month for unlimited text and Internet and 300 minutes of talk. But as with all such plans, you have to buy the phone, which in this case is $350.
Our newly savvy reader said he is already thinking of dumping the phone he got from Republic Wireless and getting something better, but he�s looking at other no-contract Android phones, maybe the new Samsung Galaxy. Samsung has sold 100 million of these Galaxy phones since they were introduced in 2010, by the way, and are currently selling 200,000 of their top of the line S3 model every day. (We bought one a week ago.)
Several years ago, Bob was browsing Amazon�s online music store and ended up putting two dozen classical CDs in the shopping cart. He planned to look the list over again before going to check-out. But Joy surprised him and just bought the whole batch. Yesterday, all of those CDs popped up online, ready to play from any computer, tablet or phone.
Amazon�s new AutoRip, is a free service that automatically uploads any CD you bought from them, going all the way back to 1998. It puts the contents into your personal Cloud Player ready to stream online. We are more than slightly awed by this; just consider the amount of storage they must have.
A playlist online is much easier to handle than riffling through boxes of CDs and loading them into a player. Before AutoRip arrived, most of our CDs gathered dust; we just listened to Spotify and Pandora online radio.
Now, Bob�s classical albums and Joy�s show tunes and rock classics are all neatly categorized by type, arranged automatically by Amazon. (Our CD of a rainstorm was put under �New Age.�) Anyone who signs onto this storage service could sell or give away their CDs and still have the music. This is certainly going to kill the used CD market.
Besides CDs, any song you buy from Amazon is also available in their Cloud Player. They will also take music from CDs you bought elsewhere. Amazon lets you store 250 imported songs for free, or 250,000 songs for $25 a year. Amazon sells 20 million songs, some of them from vinyl records. (Bob wanted to buy �Abdul the BulBul Emir,� but the only version they had was dreadful.)
Our new Galaxy S3 phone has a removable battery. So rather than carry a charger or a cable to plug into a wall outlet, we carry an extra battery. But most smartphones and tablets don�t have this option.
For these, we tried out MyCharge, a battery pack that has different connecting cords permanently attached. Every kind of cord you might need to plug into the charging port of a phone or tablet is attached to their most expensive charger (and a couple of the most common cords even with their cheapest charger). The battery pack itself is about half an inch longer than a phone and about twice as thick.
There are four kinds of MyCharge products, ranging from $28 to $89. The top-of-the line unit charges the greatest variety of devices and provides 27 hours of extra charge. The cheaper versions charge for four hours and have two connecting cords.
Yidio is free at Yidio.com and sends you a reminder when something you want to watch is on TV and gives you a description of the episode. If you forget to record it, Yidio provides a link to where you can watch it online.
For example, we like to watch �60 Minutes� and �The Mentalist,� and though these shows are automatically set to record on our cable box, Yideo told us where to find them online. For instance, �The Mentalist� is available free on the CBS website a day after it airs, or for a fee on iTunes and Amazon.
Most people who get audiobooks from Audible.com only listen to one or two, yet pay $25 a month for unlimited access to more than 100,000 titles. AudioBooks.com has a much smaller library: just 25,000. But they�ve come out with a $15-a-month plan for one audiobook at a time.
If you only want a three- month trial membership, Audible, at $7.49 a month, is still the better deal. After that, AudioBooks is cheaper.
We like to listen to nature sounds from a box as we go to sleep. A �sleep phone� from SleepPhones.com is a kind of headset for people who want to listen to something without disturbing their partner and without uncomfortable ear buds.
Described as �pajamas for the ears,� sleep phones are basically a headphone wrapped in fleece. Currently, they connect to your phone with a wire, but a wireless version is coming out in April. We saw them for $30 at discounters.
A new book in the �Dummies� series is �iPad Apps for Kids,� by Jinny Gudmundsen, $20 from Dummies.com. Here are a few of its recommendations for kids. All are free.
Toontastic is the best app we tried. It walks you through the creation of an animated cartoon, adding movable characters to the scene you create. In the process, it teaches kids how to compose a story: the setup, conflict, a challenge, a climax and finally a resolution to the drama.
Monster Hunt is a good memory game for adults and kids. Four great-looking monsters flash for an instant on a grid and disappear. You tap the squares where you think they were. Then it�s on to five monsters, six, etc. We got up to 10 before defeat.
Let�s Color gives you scenes to color. Clicking �go� makes them come alive, with stuff spraying out of an elephant�s trunk, trains chugging with passengers, and so on.
Alien Assignment for iPad 2 and up (or iPod Touch) requires a device with a camera. Children go on a scavenger hunt, taking pictures of the things they need, such as �something to clean with� or �something to use in the rain.� The story line is you�re helping an alien family who crash-landed on Earth.

Gisele Bundchen Debuts Baby Vivian Lake!
Gisele Bundchen debuts her adorable daughter Vivian Lake in this brand new photo posted to her Facebook page.
"Love is everything!!! Happy Friday, much love to all," the 32-year-old model added on her Facebook page. How adorable is Vivian??!?!
Vivian, who is just two months old, was born back in December at her mom and dad Tom Brady's home in Boston, Mass.
Previously, we had only caught a glimpse of baby Vivian's hand, which Gisele and Tom shared the day after her birth.

For their April 2012 'Cycles Edition', Stocks & Commodities magazine commissioned an independent review of our Hurst Signals online service.
The reviewer, Donald W Prendergast, used the service in the way we recommend. That is to say, 1) choose the time frame you want to trade in, 2) check your charts after every data update and, 3) wait for trading opportunities that meet the sensible selection criteria set out in our Golden Rules for Trading Hurst Cycles.
Mr Prendergast chose to follow the 40 Day Cycle of the S&P 500 e-mini future contract. After a week of waiting for the right set-up, his patience paid off with a "dandy of a trade".

ASSIMILATE Announces New SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6The Only End-to-End VR Workflow, Now with Stitching, Ambisonic Sound & Live Streaming
Get a Demo of SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6 at NAB 2017!
ASSIMILATE achieves another virtual reality (VR) breakthrough with its SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6, the new version of its real-time post-production tools and workflow for VR/360 content. With added GPU stitching of 360-video and ambisonic-audio support, as well as live streaming, and more. The SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6 now enables VR content creators - DPs, DITS, post-production artists - with the only professional, streamlined, end-to-end workflow for VR/360 content on the market. See how it works at https://vimeo.com/202186457, with additional VR tutorials at the movie: https://vimeo.com/156395178 and the sequel: https://vimeo.com/162653407
SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6 Highlights
Creating VR/360 experiences requires focused attention to complex details and most usually fast time-to-market. SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6 simplifies the VR post-production process with one-stop shopping - a single, streamlined VR/360 workflow that includes all the needed functions for creating impactful VR/360 experiences - saving enormous amounts of time, hassles, and money.
The SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6 workflow automatically includes all the basic post-production tools: dailies, color grading, compositing, playback, cloud-based reviews, finishing, and mastering.
New Features & Functions for the Only Complete End-to-End VR Workflow on the Market:
- 360 stitching functionality: load the source media of multiple shots from your 360 cameras into SCRATCH VR and easily wrap them into a stitch node to combine the sources into a equirectangular image.
- Support for various stitch template format, such as: AutoPano, Hugin, PTGui and PTStitch scripts.
- Either render out the equirectangular format first or just continue to edit, grade and composite on top of the stitched nodes and render the final result.
- Ambisonic audio: Load, set and playback ambisonic audio files to complete the 360 immersive experience.
- Video with 360 sound can be published directly to YouTube 360.
- Additional overlay handles to the existing 2D-equirectangular feature for more easily positioning 2D elements in a 360 scene.
- Support for all headsets: Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, and Google Cardboard, and other headsets when announced.
Greatly Increased HDR Support - Several new features and functions make working in HDR just as easy as SDR.
Increased Format Support - Added support for all the latest formats for even greater efficiency in the DIT and post-production processes.
More Simplified DIT Reporting Function - Added features and functions enables even greater efficiencies in a single, streamlined workflow.
User Interface
Numerous updates have been made to enhance and simplify the UI for content creators, such as for the log-in screen, matrix layout, swipe sensitivity, Player stack, tool bar, and tool-tips.
Real-World VR Project in SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6: For a recent 360 video shown at CeBit March 2017, Harvest Digital Agriculture's (http://www.harvest-technology.de) finishing artist and workflow supervisor, Julian Martinz, had to composite a lot of 2D graphics and videos onto a 360-video that was recorded with the Nokia OZO. "With SCRATCH VR 8.6, along with the Oculus Rift headset, the entire on-line grading and approval process could be accomplished in one software workflow. The ability to view the color grading in VR, in real time, and the possibility to playback ambisonic audio enabled a very straightforward, fast, and immediate working process with the director. Had we done the on-line grading another way, we would need to have used multiple software tools; do a lot of correction loops; render the work done several times; and import the video in some playback-device for approval. The SCRATCH VR Suite 8.6 gave us a single, streamlined workflow that allowed us to save enormous amounts of time, meet our deadline, and achieve the client's creative goals."

Birkel, Ph.D. Executive Director, National Alliance for the Mentally Ill Apr 29 2002 Today in New Mexico, President George W. Bush stepped forward and joined NAMI as the nation's voice on mental illness. With Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) at his side, the President spoke words that NAMI members themselves have spoken in corridors of power throughout the nation, and served notice on Congress that the time has come to start matching words with deeds. NAMI is extremely grateful to President Bush for his leadership in supporting an end to insurance discrimination against children and adults with severe mental illnesses and their families. NAMI's 210,000 members and 1,200 affiliates deeply appreciate the President's commitment to ensuring that parity legislation passes Congress in 2002. Even though federal parity fell short in 2001, we are hopefulthat presidential leadership will make all the difference this year. We look forward to working with the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, which will be chaired by Michael Hogan, Ph.D., head of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and one of the nation's most respected experts. On June 29, 2002 in Cincinnati, NAMI in fact will honor Dr. Hogan for his many years of service and commitment to the cause of people with mental illnesses and their families. . The Commission's interim report is due in six months; its final report in a year. The President identified three immediate obstacles to achieving a system in which mental illnesses are treated with the same urgency as physical illnesses. One is stigma. The second is the fragmentation of the current mental health service system, public and private. The third is discrimination in health insurance. In 2001, leaders in the House of Representatives killed legislation sponsored by Senator Domenici and Senator Paul Wellstone (D-MN) that would have ended insurance discrimination. Today, President Bush pledged to work with them to reach an agreement on mental healthy parity this year. It is critical that we provide "full mental health parity," while at the same time not "significantly" running up the cost of health care overall, he said. The cost of parity is insignificant, however, compared to its benefits and the risks and costs of untreated mental illness. We look forward to working with the President to pass legislation that represents an investment in all Americans.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced that it will be making important nutritional information readily available to consumers on 40 of the most popular cuts of meat and poultry products.
Under a new rule, expected to take effect on Jan. 1, 2012, packages of ground or chopped meat and poultry will have to feature nutrition fact panels on their labels. Additionally, whole, raw cuts of meat and poultry will also have nutrition fact panels either on their package labels or available for consumers at the point-of-purchase.
"More and more, busy American families want nutrition information that they can quickly and easily understand," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "We need to do all we can to provide nutrition labels that will help consumers make informed decisions."
Vilsack continued, "The USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services work hard to provide the Dietary Guidelines for Americans every five years, and now consumers will have another tool to help them follow these guidelines."
The nutrition facts panels will include the number of calories and the grams of total fat and saturated fat a product contains. Additionally, any product that lists a lean percentage statement, such as "76% lean," on its label also will list its fat percentage, making it easier for consumers to understand the amounts of lean protein and fat in their purchase.
The panels should provide consumers with sufficient information at the store to assess the nutrient content of the major cuts, enabling them to select meat and poultry products that fit into a healthy diet that meets their family's or their individual needs.
