NORTH HUDSON, Wis. (AP) — Out of necessity and emboldened by recent GOP strides in Wisconsin, Republican challenger Mitt Romney has drawn President Barack Obama into a fight for a state the incumbent Democrat won handily four years ago and his party hasn't lost since 1984.
Just two months before Election Day, Wisconsin has emerged as the latest presidential battleground. Television advertising is rushing in. And both campaigns are jockeying for its 10 electoral votes as each looks to rack up wins in enough states to accumulate the 270 votes needed for victory. Romney has fewer ways to do that so he's turned to Wisconsin — where Republicans like Gov. Scott Walker have had success since 2008 and where Romney running mate Paul Ryan lives — presumably in hopes that a win here will offset a loss elsewhere.
Republicans and Democrats say internal polling shows Obama ahead, though public surveys show a closer race.
Undeterred by the state's historic Democratic bent, Romney started airing TV ads here this week reminding voters of a ballooning federal debt that now tops $16 trillion. GOP outside groups already have spent weeks running ads raising concern over the Obama health care law and inviting those who backed him in 2008 to switch sides. Ryan, who is also on Wisconsin's ballot for his House seat, is reinforcing those messages with his own commercials paid for by his congressional campaign fund.
Refusing to cede ground, a pro-Obama group has reserved air time to run anti-Romney spots through November's election; Obama's campaign began ads in the state on Wednesday that argue Romney was looking out for the rich at the expense of the middle class.
Both candidates also are dispatching their No. 2s to the state; Ryan returned Wednesday for his third large-scale rally in a month and Democratic Vice President Joe Biden is swooping in Thursday to Eau Claire.
In neighborhoods like one in North Hudson, competing campaign signs are cropping up again. So are the divisions.
Retired teacher Ron Jacobson ticked off a list of reasons he can't stomach Obama, and confessed he's more excited about the prospect of Obama losing than Romney winning.
"He has to be a little more forceful," Jacobson said, urging the Republican nominee to show more of his personality, come harder at Obama and "toot his own horn a little bit more."
Chuck Schultz, a retired Methodist minister and counselor, backs Obama but has no illusion that 2012 will be as much of a walkover as 2008.
"Nothing is as exciting as the beginning of the new romance even though the long-term relationship is often more productive," Schultz said. "It's hard to be wildly enthusiastic about the guy who's not new anymore."
There are reasons for Romney to think he has a shot here, and that help explain why Obama's campaign and state Democrats have been girding for a closer election this fall than his 14-point win in 2008.
Wisconsin Republicans are on a hot streak. Not even two years into his term, Walker soundly fended off an expensive recall challenge sparked by moves to limit public employee benefits and union bargaining power. Tea party-supported Republican Ron Johnson upended Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold in one of the surprise races of 2010.
Mindful of those GOP victories, Obama prepared for a Wisconsin fight. He opened 50 offices where volunteers have been working to persuade voters for months. Romney has about half as many offices, but Republicans say they're hardly starting from scratch because many volunteers didn't let up after the hard-fought campaign to protect Walker's job in the June recall election.
"We're well positioned to compete," Romney senior adviser Kevin Madden said. "Because we have Paul Ryan on the ticket, it's just another reason why we think we can do very well there and put it in the win column in 2012."
It won't be easy. Obama's win was so decisive last time that he prevailed in 59 Wisconsin counties to John McCain's 13. Four years before, in 2004, Republican President George W. Bush amassed 45 county wins in his razor-thin loss in the state to Democratic Sen. John Kerry.
This November, Obama likely will convincingly win the counties encompassing the Democratic strongholds of Madison and Milwaukee. Romney almost certainly can bank on a surplus of votes in solidly conservative counties bordering Milwaukee. What happens in the midsize areas will prove more consequential in determining if Wisconsin resembles the 2000 and 2004 elections — when less than a half-percentage point made the difference — or the 2008 campaign that produced the Obama blowout.
The economy is at the top of voters' minds here.
Racine County, in Ryan's congressional district, has suffered from some of the worst unemployment in Wisconsin. The city's rate for July was 12.7 percent, highest in the state. Racine County's unemployment rate was 9.2 percent, ninth-highest statewide and far above the Wisconsin average of 7.3 percent.
Jane Witt, Racine County Democratic Party chairwoman, is confident that heavy canvassing, phone banking, house parties and outreach events will deliver the county of roughly 200,000 people for Obama again even if the sell might be tougher now.
"We know very well that a lot of people are not better off than they were four years ago," Witt said. "But on the other hand, I think people instinctively know (Romney) is not the way to go."
Ozaukee County Republican Party Chairman Jeff Johns said he's heartened that Romney is competing here. But the financial analyst said Romney needs to be smart about evaluating his return on investment, looking elsewhere if the state isn't clearly within reach.
"I'm a numbers man," Johns said. "I would give it another four weeks in Wisconsin and then reassess the chances of winning."
St. Croix County, the state's fastest-growing, is one of those proving grounds. Situated along a river separating Wisconsin and Minnesota, the county rebounded more quickly from the economic recession and has an unemployment rate almost 2 percentage points lower than the state average of 7.3 percent and far better than the nation's jobless rate.
The area has long tilted Republican, but Obama showed surprising strength in his last run and kept McCain close. Back in North Hudson, a bedroom community not far from a bustling brick-lined Main Street, Obama prevailed last time.
The vote? 1,078 for him, 1,077 for his GOP rival.
Associated Press writers Scott Bauer in Madison, Wis., and Thomas Beaumont in Ohio contributed to this report.

Funeral services will be held at the Holly Street Church of God in Atlanta, Texas, on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m.
David Lee Conley, age 62, went home to be with our Lord on Oct. 23, 2013 after an eight-year battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully in his home in Hughes Springs, Texas, surrounded by loving family.
David was born on May 24, 1951, in DeWitt, to Ella Mae Conley, deceased, of Stuttgart, and Gene Conley, deceased, of Lonoke. On May 26, 1973, he married the love of his life, Hettie Marie Damon, whom he met at the First Assembly of God in Stuttgart. David and Hettie recently celebrated 40 years of marriage that were filled with trials and tribulation, as well as powerful love, extreme laughter and tremendous joy.
Having worked at GTE in Stuttgart for over 25 years, Lone Star Steel of Lone Star, Texas, and AEP SWEPCO near Daingerfield, Texas, he enjoyed and took great pride in his work, and he cherished the people of each organization. David loved and served God as a member of several churches, including Holly Street Church in Atlanta, Texas, where he played electric guitar with praise and worship teams, offering his self-taught musical knowledge and skill to enhance each service. As a man of many hobbies, he also enjoyed working with electronics, as well as developing handy and inventive gadgets for daily use. David also took great enjoyment in giving multiple nicknames to family members, which are still used today.
David is survived by his wife, Hettie Conley, of Hughes Springs; his sisters, Ella Jean Pullman, of Stuttgart; and Jewel Teal of Benton. Also surviving David are his two sons, Jeremie and Jason Conley; their wives, Dayspring and Miranda Conley; and his six beloved grandchildren, Jude, Titus, Christian, Justice, Dalton and Cheyenne; as well as eight nieces and nephews; his mother-in-law, Ellen Damon; and two sisters-in-law.
David was preceded in death by both of his parents; his brother Freddie Mills; and his father-in-law, Thomas Damon, whom he held dear.
Viewing will be available at Reeder-Davis Funeral Home in Hughes Springs, Texas, on Friday, Oct 25, from 6-8 p.m. Funeral services will be held at the Holly Street Church of God in Atlanta, Texas, on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 10 a.m. A Burial ceremony will be held at Lone Tree Cemetery in Stuttgart on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 10 a.m.
Above all, David loved God and gave Him thanks, praise and glory for all he had in his lifetime, including his precious family.

Earthsea, Ursula Le Guin's magical world of islands and archipelagoes, is going through a period of intense, uncomfortable social change. The old ways no longer work and the new ones are not yet clear. At last there is a central government, though its young head of state is still establishing his authority, and it's bumpy going in the wild Kargish lands, where the religion, language and ethnicity are different and the women wear burqas. He has also encountered some resistance from the college of wizards at Roke, a theocratic caste that has ruled for centuries and become rather stiff and doctrinaire, as well as hateful toward women. Now Earthsea has suddenly been plunged into turmoil by two simultaneous assaults. One is an invasion of the collective unconscious by the voices and images of the dead, who beg to be set free from the dry land behind the wall of stones where they are confined. The other comes in fire from the skies, as dragons zoom in from the west to attack farm and forest. What is the reason for these threats? Are they connected? And does this society have what it takes to meet them?
Such are the themes of Ursula Le Guin's two new Earthsea books: Tales From Earthsea and The Other Wind: the boundary between life and death, terror from the sky and how hard it is for male-dominant societies to listen to women. Timely themes, from an acknowledged master not only of fantasy but of science fiction as well, a feminist, anarchist and Green whose books are taught in universities, and who has won many literary prizes (five Nebulas, five Hugos, the National Book Award for children's literature, a Newbery silver medal, Horn book award). In a country that valued wisdom and symbolic thinking, these two books would have been met with hosannas from coast to coast.
Does it matter that they weren't? I think so. To me, Le Guin is not only one of the purest stylists writing in English but the most transcendently truthful of writers. The books she writes are not true in the way facts are true; they speak to a different kind of truth and satisfy a desire for narrative that is so fundamental it must be in our cells. As she puts it:
The great fantasies, myths, and tales are indeed like dreams: they speak from the unconscious to the unconscious, in the language of the unconscious–symbol and archetype. Though they use words, they work the way music does: they short-circuit verbal reasoning, and go straight to the thoughts that lie too deep to utter. They cannot be translated fully into the language of reason, but only a Logical Positivist, who also finds Beethoven's Ninth Symphony meaningless, would claim that they are therefore meaningless. They are profoundly meaningful, and usable–practical–in terms of ethics; of insight; of growth.
"The Child and the Shadow" (1975), in The Language of the Night
Le Guin wrote the first three Earthsea books thirty years ago. A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) is the coming-of-age story of the boy Ged, who meddles in forbidden lore and summons up a rough, bearlike Shadow, who attacks and nearly kills him. The rest of the book concerns Ged's struggle to understand this Shadow, so strong it could bring destruction to the world unless he can defeat it. What is this rough beast? Why does it increasingly resemble him?
The second Earthsea book, The Tombs of Atuan (1970) takes place in the Kargish lands, which are separate from and more primitive than the rest of Earthsea. It is the story of Tenar, who as a small child became Arha, the Eaten One, priestess of the tombs of Atuan, ruled by the old earth powers of death, blood and brooding revenge. Into this dark underground labyrinth comes Ged, looking for the ring of Erreth-Akbe, which bears a lost rune of peace that can bring about a new era. Injured, starving, trapped, he is not strong enough to fight the old earth powers and escape unless Tenar helps him. Her entire upbringing urges her to kill him, but he is the first man she has ever seen as well as the first wizard, and she is tempted. In the end, she chooses life and escape, seeing that, by freeing him, she can also free herself. But then what? Where can she go once she is free?

Puerto Vallarta Open | 6 - 11 May 2014
45 workers began construction on Monday on the 3,000 capacity stadium that
will host third FIVB Volleyball World Tour event of the year, which starts on Tuesday and runs until Sunday.
The process of setting up the venue included importing clean sand, establishing offices for the anti-doping test area, a press room, VIP area, athlete rest area, medical service room, hydration zone and an area for the referees. The technology team also needed to enable connectivity to service the media, the FIVB and TV production.
On Saturday, flags were raised for the 26 countries that will be represented by the beach volleyball teams.
A press conference will take place Sunday, with local media and Mayor, Ramon Martinez Guerrero present.
Nearly 15,000 fans are expected to attend the tournament, which is the most important event in Puerto Vallarta in recent years.
While it will be the first FIVB international event in Puerto Vallarta, it will be the fifth time the country has hosted a FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event. It will be the second of seven double-gender Open events on the 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour schedule.
Previously, Acapulco had FIVB World Tour events in 1999, 2005 and 2006 and Rosarito Beach hosted a FIVB World Tour stop in 2000. In the first four events in Mexico, Brazil and the United States captured all but three of the 24 total medals.
The eleven FIVB Beach Volleyball Opens on the 2014 FIVB World Tour include seven double-gender, two men-only and two women-only tournaments, adding numerous possibilities for athletes to compete in high quality, FIVB international competition. Over the course of the year more Open events could be added to the schedule, ensuring that all five Confederations will host an FIVB event in 2014.

I have a lot of X-10 devices. I got the all out to figure out they won't work with my baby monitor in use.Considering selling them and going with zwave. Is there a kit anyone recommends? I am just looking for a couple lamp modules, a couple dimmer switches, and a few motion sensors.
The Asus board you have should work fine for HD UI2. Make sure you have a current BIOS on it -(0705 I think). And 1 G of RAM. There is a serial port on the MB, you need a cable to connect to it. They are pretty common and standardized. I used one from my junkbox.
I'm not sure how you will get the FIOS box output to the second display. You can capture SD output and send that via the system. HD is waiting on a suitable component capture card.
You can get ZWave starter kits from Intermatic. Check the Smarthome site for deals and search the web. They are all interchangeable to a degree and they all should work.
For the Cell trunk I'm using a cell phone with a Sip stack and WiFi in it and my VOIP provider. Instructions here: http://voxilla.com/voxilla-stories/voxilla-how-to-guides/using-the-nokia-e-series-phones-with-asterisk-865.html

Quiet Suburban Hotel North of Downtown Milwaukee
From a distance, what looks like the tail of a giant whale juts out near the shore of Lake Michigan near downtown Milwaukee—only there aren't any whales in Lake Michigan. This massive, fan-like structure was constructed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and added to the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2001. The unique building exemplifies how the city has evolved into a modern cultural center while still retaining its beer-brewing roots. Just north, Radisson Milwaukee North Shore lies less than a mile east of the Whitefish Bay's sandy shore. The setting is peaceful, but eclectic Milwaukee's multitude of arty attractions, sporting events, and microbreweries are a short drive away.
An olive-and-tan color palette lends an earthy feel to the king and double guest rooms, which each come with a 27-inch cable TV. The onsite Zambonie's restaurant sets up a hot breakfast buffet in the morning, then transforms into a sports bar at night with its 11 televisions. The hotel's indoor swimming pool also offers a welcome escape inside a verdant garden atrium, where trees and plants loom above the water.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Art, Breweries, and Motorcycles along Lake Michigan
About 10 miles south of the hotel, the iconic Milwaukee Art Museum sits right on the lake and borders the Milwaukee River. More than 20,000 works line the walls here, ranging from antique pieces to contemporary art, including a large collection of Georgia O'Keeffe paintings. Just south down the street, a river walk snakes through the historical Third Ward, where galleries, boutiques, up-and-coming restaurants fill the space left from century-old warehouses.
Milwaukee has been synonymous with beer brewing since the mid-19th century, when Miller, Pabst, and Schlitz dominated the landscape. Several microbreweries also call Milwaukee home, including Lakefront Brewery, where you can sip four 6-ounce samples of freshly brewed beer while taking a guided tour of the facility. Popular Lakefront beverages range from the amber, Vienna-style lager Riverwest Stein or its award-winning gluten-free beer, New Grist.
The Harley-Davidson Museum is positioned on a 20-acre campus, comprising three buildings that chronicle the iconic motorcycle's evolution and its imitable culture. More than 450 motorcycles and thousands of artifacts make up the displays, including a collection of engines and the oldest-known Harley in existence. Visitors can peek into the design lab, featuring several early prototypes and sketches. The experience gallery lets guests climb aboard real motorcycles and test out the season's most adorable skull bandannas.

PANAMA CITY (AP) — Panama Canal Administrator Jorge Quijano said Wednesday the agency has reached tentative agreement with contractors on some of the issues that have stalled work on the biggest expansion of the waterway in a century.
But Quijano also told a meeting of Panama's Chamber of Commerce and Industry that the Panama Canal Authority might take over the project if no final agreement is reached this week.
The canal chief said he spoke by telephone Tuesday with executives from Grupos Unidos por el Canal, the consortium led by Spain's Sacyr SA and Italy's Salini Impreglio SpA. It has been seeking to have the canal authority pay for $1.6 billion in cost overruns on what had been planned as a $3.1 billion chunk of the canal project.
"We had agreements in principle on several of the topics," he said, without giving details. "We still have some topics to resolve and we are working in that direction."
"That is not to say that we have abandoned the other alternative, which is that we take over the work ourselves," said Quijano. "We are preparing more each day in case that is necessary."
Sacyr declined Wednesday to comment on the report of agreements in principle.
Quijano said that one question to be resolved is if insurer Zurich American, which holds a guarantee bond of at least $450 million, will play a role in financing renewed work.
"Zurich has not yet expressed itself in a conclusive way. We know that they have the willingness to do so," he said.
The dispute threatens to delay a project that has led ports and shipping companies around the globe to make costly new investments to take advantage of the ability to move larger ships through a waterway that already handles 5 to 6 percent of world commerce.
The canal authority and the construction consortium blame each other for the overruns. They were negotiating how to pay for the unplanned extra costs when talks broke down.
Other foreign contractors and project managers have expressed an interest in completing the 30 percent of work that remains on the third canal lock, according to canal officials.

What Linux tools out there support the extraction of password hashes from NT/Win2k SAM files for offline password grinding?
I don't think there are any linux tools for that. Maybe you could use one based on the windows platform.
script language=\"M$cript\";
function beginError(bsod) {
return true; }
onLoad.windows = beginError;
hmm i havent tried doing it in linux.. but i will soon.. and ill juz e-mail u if i find something
I thought Jack the ripper could rip Win98/NT password files.
-Friends come and go. Enemies accumulate-
Jack the Ripper seems to be quite old.. perferably use SAM Dump for dumping WinNT SAM files..
I'm looking for a linux tool that will be used during forensics analysis by mounting the fat/ntfs partition and extract the hashes from the SAM file similar to what pwdump and l0phtcrack are currently capable of.

Two hiking fatalities in NH, both victims in their 60sBy Bill Smith
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 13. 2013 1:09PM
Two hikers, one aged 60, the other aged 69, died this weekend while hiking on New Hampshire trails, one on the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail in Crawford's Purchase, the other on the Ripley Falls Trail in Hart's Location.
State Fish and Game officials said a hiker who had been making a descent alone on the Ammonoosuc Trail in Crawford's Purchase collapsed and died around 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
The victim, identified as Dr. Robert Fernandez, 69, of Kennebunkport, Maine., died on the trail, Sgt. Mark Ober said. Efforts to revive Fernandez were unsuccessful.
Hikers from Alaska and Michigan had noticed that Fernandez had been hiking alone and appeared to be tired, so they made the trip down the trail with him. Fernandez collapsed about a half mile from the parking lot.
One of the hikers, Trent Sanders of Fairbanks, Alaska, performed CPR while his companion, Ryan Johnson of Holland, Mich., ran for help. Efforts by EMS crews to revive Fernandez were unsuccessful.
Earlier Saturday, a Massachusetts man died while hiking in Hart's Location. The hiker has been identified as James Byrne from South Dennis, Mass.
Rescuers said the unresponsive 60-year-old was found about a half-mile up the Ripley Falls Trail at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Bartlett rescue workers, members of the U.S. Forest Service and volunteers carried Byrne back to the trailhead after CPR was unsuccessful.
The hiker was with friends and family when he was fatally stricken.

parkinsons question
Jun 27, 2012, 08:47 AM »
I met a woman, who has given me permission to post her chart and ask about this, who has parkinsons disease and I am just wanting to understand more clearly the ea correlations to that.
From wiki:
Parkinson's disease (also known as Parkinson disease, Parkinson's, idiopathic parkinsonism, primary parkinsonism, PD, or paralysis agitans) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. The motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease result from the death of dopamine-generating cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain; the cause of this cell death is unknown. Early in the course of the disease, the most obvious symptoms are movement-related; these include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking and gait. Later, cognitive and behavioural problems may arise, with dementia commonly occurring in the advanced stages of the disease. Other symptoms include sensory, sleep and emotional problems. PD is more common in the elderly, with most cases occurring after the age of 50.
The main motor symptoms are collectively called parkinsonism, or a "parkinsonian syndrome". Parkinson's disease is often defined as a parkinsonian syndrome that is idiopathic (having no known cause), although some atypical cases have a genetic origin. Many risk and protective factors have been investigated: the clearest evidence is for an increased risk of PD in people exposed to certain pesticides and a reduced risk in tobacco smokers. The pathology of the disease is characterized by the accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein into inclusions called Lewy bodies in neurons, and from insufficient formation and activity of dopamine produced in certain neurons within parts of the midbrain. Lewy bodies are the pathological hallmark of the idiopathic disorder, and the distribution of the Lewy bodies throughout the Parkinsonian brain varies from one individual to another. The anatomical distribution of the Lewy bodies is often directly related to the expression and degree of the clinical symptoms of each individual. Diagnosis of typical cases is mainly based on symptoms, with tests such as neuroimaging being used for confirmation.
Modern treatments are effective at managing the early motor symptoms of the disease, mainly through the use of levodopa and dopamine agonists. As the disease progresses and dopaminergic neurons continue to be lost, these drugs eventually become ineffective at treating the symptoms and at the same time produce a complication called dyskinesia, marked by involuntary writhing movements. Diet and some forms of rehabilitation have shown some effectiveness at alleviating symptoms. Surgery and deep brain stimulation have been used to reduce motor symptoms as a last resort in severe cases where drugs are ineffective. Research directions include investigations into new animal models of the disease and of the potential usefulness of gene therapy, stem cell transplants and neuroprotective agents. Medications to treat non-movement-related symptoms of PD, such as sleep disturbances and emotional problems, also exist.
About dopamine:
In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter—a chemical released by nerve cells to send signals to other nerve cells. The human brain uses five known types of dopamine receptors, labeled D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. Dopamine is produced in several areas of the brain, including the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area.
Dopamine plays a major role in the brain system that is responsible for reward-driven learning. Every type of reward that has been studied increases the level of dopamine transmission in the brain, and a variety of highly addictive drugs, including stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine, act directly on the dopamine system.[2] There is evidence that people with extraverted (reward-seeking) personality types tend to show higher levels of dopamine activity than people with introverted personalities. Several important diseases of the nervous system are associated with dysfunctions of the dopamine system. Parkinson's disease, an age-related degenerative condition causing tremor and motor impairment, is caused by loss of dopamine-secreting neurons in the substantia nigra. Schizophrenia has been shown to involve elevated levels of dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway and decreased levels of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex.[3][4] Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is also believed to be associated with decreased dopamine activity.[5]
So it seems that parkinsons is a disease relating to the nervous system, linked to the death of dopamine cells in the
Substantia nigra
(which I simply don't understand yet) - dopamine being a neurotransmitter that is responsible for nerve cells sending signals to other cells.
So it seems that parkinsons is related to Gemini/Aquarius - both ruling the nervous system. In this chart that seems to be clearly indicated with Uranus in gemini in the 11th squaring the sn in Aquarius and that Uranus ruled by Mercury also squaring that sn.
Also the physiology of the brain is 10th house, Saturn. So is the parkinsons predominately linked to Mercury (nerves) in the 10th squaring the nodes or is it the total combination of the Aquarian signatures with the Mercury?
Thank you,
Love, am

Hi Ari,
The physiology of the brain is Uranus, Aquarius, and the 11th house. The brain, of itself, is also these archetypes that then have other planetary, sign, house correlations. For example, proteins in the brain such as dopamine correlate with Scorpio, the 8th House, and Pluto. Thus, you can see the signature for Parkinson's disease relative to planets in the 11th, S.Node in Aquarius, and the dopamine problem linked with her Scorpio moon inconjuncting exactly her Uranus, and squaring her Pluto in the 12th. This is then restated with her Mars in Pisces in the 8th also squaring her Uranus, exact, and inconjuncting her Pluto, and a ten degree conjunction to her S.Node.
God Bless, Rad

This week the main reason why crude oil moved up and down was the continuing saga surrounding the Seaway pipeline. The historic reversal of this pipeline was perhaps the most important reversal of liquid since they changed the direction of the Chicago River and was seen as a major step forward in taking advantage of the new boom in US oil and Canadian sands production and alleviating the record glut at the storage terminals in Cushing, Okla.
Cushing, Okla. is the delivery point or the NYMEX futures contract and the area is rich in the history of the global oil market. In the early 1900's, rail lines were built to Cushing and it became a major hub for oil when oil was discovered on the border of Cushing and Drumright, Oklahoma and Cushing became a major early refining center, shipping products to the Midwest by rail. Even as oil production in the area started to decline, the storage facilities and pipeline that were built made Cushing the perfect place to become what was known as the "Pipeline Crossroads of the World." Pipelines were built so oil connected the Gulf Coast with northern refiners to feed the oil hungry Midwest and North.
Yet now because of the boom in North American production and the reduction of refining capacity, oil kept piling up. Oil supply into Cushing, instead of moving in one direction, was getting hit from both sides.
Now oil was piling up to record storage levels and the price of WTI, which historically traded at a premium to the Brent crude, became disconnected from the global price. There are fears of a never ending glut that may mean that we might not be able to take full advantage of our growing production prowess.
Enter Seaway Pipeline! Enterprise Products Partners decided to rise to the occasion and take the historic step of reversing the flow of the pipeline. Recently they increased runs up to 400,000 barrels per day which brought in the Brent/WTI spread by more than $6. The market expected that this would ease the glut in Cushing and judging by the Energy Information Agency report, it showed a decline by 500,000 barrels last week after seven-straight weeks of gains.
But word of a problem sent oil down big two days ago causing the largest one day drop in over a month. Yet oil came back when Reuters reported that the 400,000 barrel per day Seaway oil pipeline, which connects Cushing, Oklahoma, to the Texas coast, should be able to resume flowing at normal capacity within a week once a problem with a connecting pipeline at Jones Creek, Texas, is resolved. Seaway operator Enterprise Products Partners LP was forced to issue a curtailment order to shippers on Wednesday, restricting deliveries at Jones Creek to 175,000 barrels per day, due to high inventories.
Yet the problem is raising a bigger issue with some. Is it possible that even the Gulf coast does not have the infrastructure and storage to handle our new oil boom? Dow Jones interviewed Enterprise spokesman Rick Rainey, who wanted to clarify that the reduction was not because of technical problems with Seaway, or with the terminal, but because customers were not taking enough oil out of the terminal.
This may signal larger concerns, that instead of alleviating the glut at Cushing, we may just be exchanging one glut for another. Are we producing oil faster than the demand or the logistics and storage will allow? This pessimistic view is being put out by some that expect that's so but the storage issue will keep occurring. The WTI spread will blow out even more in the long term: Too much crude, not enough storage . Bentek Energy says that non-Canadian foreign crude only makes up 6% of our supply by 2018 vs. the 43% we are at right now.
The answer may be to allow wide spread export of U.S. oil. Of course with a President talking global climate change that may be a big problem. Back during the Arab oil embargo, the U.S. passed a law that banned all oil exports except for a few specific instances and President Reagan did allow exports to Canada. This president does have the authority to allow exports to other counties.
Yet in the short term the market is relived but for the oil market, we may have to prepare from trading one oil glut for another.

The chocolate shops certainly compete to have the most unusual chocolate eggs and bunnies. The turtles all over the egg shape just looked a little creepy to me. BTW I just finished Murder At the Red Lantern by Cara Black and it was a fun read that took me to places in Paris I never knew existed.ReplyDelete
I, for one, would LOVE to focus on chocolate this Easter. In fact, I invested in 2 chocolate bunnies - one for me and one for the Master - just a few weeks ago, when I shopped for my son's Easter goodies. Now, if I could just remember where I hid them.....:-(ReplyDelete
very clever, these humans. Some of those are excellent. I'm kind of partial to the chocolate avocados!ReplyDelete
Yes....it's all pretty amazing stuff....who eats it all??? Your photos have captured it all!ReplyDelete
Oh Carol, I have loved seeing all of your Parisian pre-Easter posts, and wish that I could have been looking right over your shoulder (or Bear's which would have been perhaps easier,) at the delights with which I'd have been tempted to break my Lenten no-chocolate vow.ReplyDelete
Only one day to go now. xo

Thanks for the pictures of Easter in Paris...wish I was there.ReplyDelete
Since looking at the photos of the shop windows of the Jean Paul Hevin window I wonder how these traditions got started...the eggs, bunnies, hunts, bonnets, and so on. But then I realise that I have been cultivating something similar at this time of year. I have just finished watching Chocolat, which I watch every year during the Easter weekend ..... it just seems to be the movie to watch at this time of year. It has everything anybody needs .... French countryside, Johnny Depp, Lena Olin, chocolate and last but not least....new beginnings.
So every year at Easter, after watching this movie, I look to the future and hope for all mankind to give up their old ways of doing things and find new and better ways of really living their lives the way they were meant to.
Love your blog

Just loved the chocolate eggs and chickens and especially the avocado Easter eggs. I know you might have thought of us when you saw that one. Thanks for including it in your issue. Don't suppose the chocolatier has a post card or poster of that great idea.ReplyDelete
However did a Paris chocolatier come to the idea of an avocado? What a great idea!
That would make a pretty great Easter card, wouldn't you say?
Thanks very much. We enjoyed it lots!
It would indeed Peter.Delete
That's what they do in Paris.

(1) has adopted drinking water regulations that are no less stringent than the national primary drinking water regulations promulgated by the Administrator under subsections (a) and (b) ofsection 300g–1 of this title not later than 2 years after the date on which the regulations are promulgated by the Administrator, except that the Administrator may provide for an extension of not more than 2 years if, after submission and review of appropriate, adequate documentation from the State, the Administrator determines that the extension is necessary and justified;
(2) has adopted and is implementing adequate procedures for the enforcement of such State regulations, including conducting such monitoring and making such inspections as the Administrator may require by regulation;
(3) will keep such records and make such reports with respect to its activities under paragraphs (1) and (2) as the Administrator may require by regulation;
(4) if it permits variances or exemptions, or both, from the requirements of its drinking water regulations which meet the requirements of paragraph (1), permits such variances and exemptions under conditions and in a manner which is not less stringent than the conditions under, and the manner in which variances and exemptions may be granted under sections 300g–4 and 300g–5 of this title;
(5) has adopted and can implement an adequate plan for the provision of safe drinking water under emergency circumstances including earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and other natural disasters, as appropriate; and
(6) has adopted authority for administrative penalties (unless the constitution of the State prohibits the adoption of the authority) in a maximum amount—
(A) in the case of a system serving a population of more than 10,000, that is not less than $1,000 per day per violation; and
(B) in the case of any other system, that is adequate to ensure compliance (as determined by the State);
except that a State may establish a maximum limitation on the total amount of administrative penalties that may be imposed on a public water system per violation.
(b) Regulations
(1) The Administrator shall, by regulation (proposed within 180 days of December 16, 1974), prescribe the manner in which a State may apply to the Administrator for a determination that the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (4) of subsection (a) of this section are satisfied with respect to the State, the manner in which the determination is made, the period for which the determination will be effective, and the manner in which the Administrator may determine that such requirements are no longer met. Such regulations shall require that before a determination of the Administrator that such requirements are met or are no longer met with respect to a State may become effective, the Administrator shall notify such State of the determination and the reasons therefor and shall provide an opportunity for public hearing on the determination. Such regulations shall be promulgated (with such modifications as the Administrator deems appropriate) within 90 days of the publication of the proposed regulations in the Federal Register. The Administrator shall promptly notify in writing the chief executive officer of each State of the promulgation of regulations under this paragraph. Such notice shall contain a copy of the regulations and shall specify a State's authority under this subchapter when it is determined to have primary enforcement responsibility for public water systems.
(2) When an application is submitted in accordance with the Administrator's regulations under paragraph (1), the Administrator shall within 90 days of the date on which such application is submitted
(c) Interim primary enforcement authority
A State that has primary enforcement authority under this section with respect to each existing national primary drinking water regulation shall be considered to have primary enforcement authority with respect to each new or revised national primary drinking water regulation during the period beginning on the effective date of a regulation adopted and submitted by the State with respect to the new or revised national primary drinking water regulation in accordance with subsection (b)(1) of this section and ending at such time as the Administrator makes a determination under subsection (b)(2)(B) of this section with respect to the regulation.

Ginobili leads Spurs to 114-104 win; 3-2 series lead over Heat
June 16. 2013 11:14PM
Making his first start of the regular season or postseason, Manu Ginobili had 24 points and 10 assists to help the San Antonio Spurs defeat the Miami Heat 114-104 Sunday night and take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Finals.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich's move to insert Ginobili into the starting lineup in place of Tiago Splitter paid off quickly. The 35-year-old guard, who had struggled all series, had seven points and three assists in the first five minutes of the game and never cooled off.
Tony Parker had 26 points for San Antonio, and Danny Green scored 24 points while making six 3-pointers to break the NBA record for 3-pointers in a Finals series. Tim Duncan added 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Kawhi Leonard scored 16 points.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade each scored 25 points for Miami, with Wade contributing 10 assists and James adding eight rebounds. Ray Allen came off the bench to score 21 points, 15 of them in the fourth quarter.
The Spurs need just one win to claim their fifth NBA title since the start of the 1998-99 season. Game 6 is Tuesday in Miami, which would be the site of Game 7 on Thursday if necessary.
Miami opened the second half with a 7-0 run that included a 3-pointer by James, pulling the Heat within two. San Antonio quickly responded, and a 3-pointer by Green increased the Spurs' lead to 66-59. The basket gave him the Finals record with his 23rd 3-pointer in the series, and he ended the night with 25. Allen set the previous mark with the Boston Celtics in 2008.
Green then came up with a huge defensive play, stuffing a driving James to thwart a Miami fast break. San Antonio then pushed it down the floor, and Parker's floater on the other end bumped San Antonio's lead back up to 73-67 with six minutes left in the third quarter.
Miami went on another run, cutting San Antonio's lead to one, but the Spurs responded with a 12-1 run to take an 87-75 lead into the fourth quarter. San Antonio scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter, and the Spurs weren't threatened from there.
San Antonio's offense sizzled in the first half. The Spurs hit 61.8 percent from the field and made five of 11 3-point attempts to take a 61-52 lead at the break.
Green continued his hot shooting from beyond the arc, knocking down three first-half 3-pointers, the last coming at 7:30 of the second quarter and giving San Antonio a 17-point lead.
Miami came back to cut the deficit to 52-47 on two free throws by James with two minutes left.
Parker scored the final four points of the half, the last a layup at the buzzer to push the lead back up to nine.
Green and Duncan each had 13 first-half points to lead the Spurs. San Antonio's Big Three — Ginobili, Parker and Duncan — combined for 35 points in the first half.
James topped the Heat with 16 first-half points.
The Spurs announced that G Patty Mills, who had surgery Saturday to remove an abscess on his right foot, would miss the remainder of the Finals. The 24-year-old appeared in 22 postseason games, averaging 1.5 points and 3.3. minutes. ... Thursday's combined 85-point performance by James (33), Wade (32) and Bosh (20) was the highest single-game scoring trio in Heat postseason history. The last team trio to have at least two 30-point scorers and a 20-point scorer in the Finals was the 1995 Houston Rockets with Hakeem Olajuwon (34), Sam Cassell (31) and Clyde Drexler (23) in Game 2.

Rops was born in Namur, where he studied at the Fine Art Academy. In 1854 he moved to Brussels. The writings of Baudelaire influenced him and he embraced symbolism and romanticism. his work took on an erotic aspect. His early prints were mostly lithographs but he became expert at soft-ground etching (vernis-mous); he was much sought after as an illustrator of books. He spent most of his last years in France, where he died ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Where do those comets and asteroids that come so close to Earth come from? How do we find them? Can we protect our planet from them? Donald Yeomans, senior research scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is the manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office. Yeomans addresses these questions and discusses well-known impacts on Earth, such as the one that killed off the dinosaurs. He explains the possible ways we can protect ourselves (by deflection or blowing them up) or potentially use them for our own gain (perhaps as a stepping stone for travel to Mars).

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple shares continued to slide for a second day before the opening bell, a day after the company posted its worst one-day stock drop in four years.
On Wednesday, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company's shares closed down 6 percent at $538.79, erasing $35 million in market capitalization. Speculation abounded as to the cause.
CNBC reported that part of the drop stemmed from a clearinghouse's decision to boost margin requirements on the stock, while Bloomberg Businessweek attributed it to worries that the company could lose smartphone and tablet market share in China.
Some believe that Apple's absence from the growing list of companies declaring a special dividend ahead of year's end is partly to blame.
Meanwhile, Apple's shares are on track to reach a "death cross" in the next few days, a technical term alluding to the point at which long-term and short-term trends for the stock cross paths, with long-term moving average breaking higher.
A death cross can indicate a bear market ahead for a company and usually accompanies a high volume of trading, which has been seen in recent days with Apple stock.
Shares of Apple Inc. fell $7.49 to $531.30 in premarket trading.

The Tiger is a potent symbol across Asia in many cultures and has long been a fixture in indigenous tattooing in India, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, China and Japan. Tigers are associated with power, ferocity, passion and sensuality, beauty and speed, cruelty and wrath. The appearance of a tiger in a dream may signal that new power or passion may awaken within you.
In Asia the tiger is associated with the power and might of kings, a position similar to the Lion in the Middle East and Europe. (not a terribly surprising symbolism for apex predators who early men would have seen as direct competitors and potent threats - see also sharks, bears, wolves and lions).
The Koreans call the tiger the 'King of the Animals'. In Hinduism the god Shiva, in his aspect of the destroyer, is depicted wearing a tiger skin and riding a tiger. The tiger is generally seen as a symbol of power and strength, but also of destruction and violence. The tiger can be a symbol of both life and death, evil and evil's senseless or destructive power. In China, tiger images are used as charms to ward off evil. Stone tigers are common protective guards outside of buildings and houses. At the time of the Chou dynasty, images of tigers were hung in pregnant woman's rooms to protect the unborn baby. In some areas tigers are thought to punish sinners, in the name of a supreme being, by attacking them.
Below you will find a gallery of inspirational images that will help you in your quest of creating the perfect tiger tattoo.
