Courtney Paris scored 22 points, 13 of which came in the second half, and the Tulsa Shock used a dominant third quarter to post a 95-90 win over the San Antonio Stars at the BOK Center.
Down 45-38 at halftime, the Shock outscored the Stars by a 25-8 margin in the third quarter en route to ending a five-game losing skid. Odyssey Sims netted seven of her 15 points during the period. Paris, who finished a perfect 9-of-9 from the field, and Skylar Diggins each had six.
Diggins totaled 19 points and eight assists, while Glory Johnson contributed a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds to the victory.
Danielle Adams tallied 17 points for San Antonio in the loss, the Stars' third in a row. Sophia Young-Malcolm added 16 points and Kayla McBride and Danielle Robinson each had 15, with Robinson recording seven assists.
The Shock began the second half on fire, scoring the first 12 points of the third quarter as part of a 17-2 run that Sims capped with a 3-pointer that staked Tulsa to a 55-47 lead midway through the frame.
Sims later ended the third with a layup that put the Shock up 63-53 entering the final quarter.
San Antonio made a belated push in the fourth, with back-to-back treys from McBride and Shenise Johnson igniting a 9-1 push that pulled the Stars within 88-86 with a minute left.
The Stars trailed 92-88 with 30 seconds to go, but failed to score on their next-to-last possession and Tulsa sealed it when Roneeka Hodges hit 1-of-2 foul shots.

text: Articles and Advice from our Pet Expert 10 Simple Tips for Pet Proofing Your Home Pets are like children—they're curious about everything! And just as a new parent would child-proof their home for a toddler's safety, pet parents should be concerned with the safety of their four-footed children. Consider this – most parents spend nine months preparing for the arrival of a new baby, taking classes on child safety and child proofing the home. But how many "pet parents" prepare the same way for the arrival of a new cat or dog? An Ounce of Prevention Whether you are thinking about getting a pet, or already have one, take the time to implement some safety precautions both in- and outdoors. A bit of forethought may save your pet from trouble, and can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in emergency veterinary costs. With kids as well as pets, most injuries occur where you and your family feel safest—at home. While you can't prevent any and every danger, you can minimize the possibility of your pet getting hurt or sick by always being aware of his in- and outdoor surroundings and regularly examining his body for injuries. To truly pet proof your home, you should start by literally getting down on "all fours" and pawing your way through the house and yard, looking for possible pet hazards. If something looks interesting, a child will investigate—if it looks or smells vaguely interesting, a pet will investigate! By exploring your home from your pet's perspective, you'll be much more likely to spot dangerous conditions such as sharp branches or broken wire on fences. Steps to Protect Your Pets While kids remain inquisitive for many years, they eventually learn to avoid potential hazards like a hot stove or broken glass. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for our pets—they will remain childlike for all of their life! So be prepared to look for possible pet hazards on a regular basis. Here are 10 simple pet proofing tips to get you started: Plants and pets don't mix. Many common house plants are poisonous to pets when chewed or ingested, and almost all lilies are toxic for cats. Eliminate toxic house and garden plants or move them to a safe area. Because they're usually very easy to knock over, place house plants up high to keep them from fallingon your pet (and creating a big mess!). Secure your toiletries. Keep medications, lotions and cosmetics off of accessible surfaces and well out of your pet's reach. These items may contain ingredients, dyes or chemicals potentially harmful to pets if swallowed. Check your cabinets. Use cabinet locking devices, like those used to keep young children from opening doors, to keep your pets from getting into food or household and lawn chemicals. Evaluate all lower shelves to make sure there are no unsafe items within easy reach. Set boundaries. Keep doors closed or install toddler safety gates to keep animals out of rooms you don't want them to sniff around in. But be sure to consider the type of gate you are installing with respect to its intended location. For example, you wouldn't want to install a pressure mounted gate at the top of the stairs where a pet might lean on it and topple down the stairs. Hide trashcans. Unless you want garbage scattered all over your home, it's a good idea to hide your trash receptacle in a cabinet or large drawer, or at least keep it tightly lidded. While most food is not hazardous, wrappers can be. Most pet owners know that chocolate and anti-freeze are harmful to pets, but many probably don't know that grapes and raisins also can be deadly for dogs. Check your curtains. To avoid the risk of strangulation, make sure cords from blinds and curtains are well out of your pet's reach. Beware of wires. Tuck away electrical wires and cords from lamps, DVD players, televisions, stereos and telephones so they're out of the reach of chewers. Consider installing electric cord shorteners, outlet covers and window cord safety locks. Protect your knick-knacks. Remove any precious or valuable items from tail wagging level to prevent them from being accidentally toppled by an enthusiastic wagger. Clear the floor. Keep children's toys and games and everyone's shoes and clothing off the floor unless you want Fido to have a field day with them. Eliminate temptation. If you want to be extra-cautious, consider keeping your pets in a crate when you have to leave the house. For more tips on safeguarding your pet at home, contact your veterinarian or visit www.aspca.org. Written by: Kristen Levine, Pet Lifestyle Expert September 1, 2010

Veiled in the sea of fog
As soon as the sun rose, the marine layer rolled in and engulfed the bridge. Only foghorns echoed relentlessly.
Sense of stillness
Sunset over South Bay
Today was overcast, pretty much all day, but the sky was finally breaking near the beach (at least seen from where I was), and I thought it may turn out to be a fantastic sunset. But I didn't feel like driving out to the beach.
Instead, I pulled out my old DJI Mavic Pro and let it take off from a little park nearby. While the massive blanket of clouds was still hovering overhead, it was very clear out in the ocean, and the sun was clearly visible. No marine layer.
It had been a while, so I totally forgot how sensitive the gimbal wheels and the sticks were. I flew it away from the park so that I could position it near I-405 and high enough to catch the sun dropping behind the ocean horizon.
The sense of stillness across South Bay created by the soft light was very palpable while the blanket of clouds soaked in red was hovering overhead as if the entire sky was blotted out by the alien spaceship. And there was a small but bright dot barely floating above the horizon.
I am planning to fly the drone more often. Stay tuned.
One of prettiest sunrises
As is often the case, there's no guarantee in catching the gorgeous sunrise every morning. But not getting up early enough and not being at a spot where a sunrise could be well watched will never help catch one. Just a right amount of clouds lingering right below the horizon makes all the difference. And when that happens, you get rewarded with one of the prettiest sunrises you've witnessed.
Sky painted in gorgeous colors
It's always hit or miss. I've counted only a handful of sunrises this February alone, which is ending in a few days already. But not only this sunrise made me feel worth getting up early but also exceeded my expectations. Of course, it is always challenging to frame a shot differently at the same spot over and over. I just hope that the sky painted in gorgeous colors like this is beautiful enough to draw their attention to it.
As the clouds that had completely blotted out the sky for most part of the day finally broke, I arrived at the park. I grabbed my camera gear and walked across the soccer field to the opposite side. I wanted to compose a shot of this particular tree and the dirt trail that looked like gliding past beyond the tree. However, to get the composition that I liked, I realized that I actually had to lose the sight of the sun, which was sinking fast behind the power towers. So, I exposed the shot long enough to take advantage of the clouds colorfully stroking the sky soaked in bright orange hue.
Clean, almost deserted look
One of Downtown LA landmarks that I wanted to take photographs this time around was the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I've taken photos of it a few times, but I was actually doing time lapse, and using multiple exposures, I created a clean, almost deserted look. I removed all the vehicles on the road as well as the pedestrians and turned it into an almost early Sunday morning feel to it. And yet the sun was waning slowly behind this home of the LA Philharmonic Orchestra.
One could always hope for decent sunset
It wasn't a downpour but came down consistently throughout most of the day. Just over an hour or so before the sunset time though, the rain stopped, and I saw one corner of the sky clearing up. Although most of the sky remained blotted out by the rain clouds, one could always hope for a decent sunset, if not an amazing one. When I arrived at Korean Bell of Friendship, it was quite breezy. And the clouds didn't give way to the sun. In fact the opening was closing fast and the sunset glow was fading by the second.
Calm water glowed in orange
Vincent Thomas Bridge is quite a prominent landmark in San Pedro, California, which connects the port town to the adjacent Terminal Island. Driving over the suspension bridge is as cool as its distinctive green color from a distance. This spot decorated with the cement posts in the water, right by World Cruise Center, is a kind of go to spot where anyone can take great photos of the bridge. I had taken photos here before and they were set at night time. I wanted to capture the sunset glow cast on the bridge as well as on the cement posts. The calm water glowed in orange. And the sporadic clouds slowly took over the pink sky.
Gorgeous sunrise
A gorgeous sunrise doesn't necessarily requires one to travel far or seek mountains and beaches. But, it definitely requires a puddle of water may work. Maybe some trees. LOL But, all kidding aside, that's exactly what I found in a park lot of a super store. Maybe all he/she needs is an eye for it.
Because it was Valentine's Day
As part of the Downtown LA landmark series, while spending a late afternoon and an evening, I turned to one of my favorite sights - the water fountain at Grand Park with a view of the City Hall. I waited till the sunset glow started hitting the iconic building. Usually the lighting at this pretty water fountain intermittently changes in a few different colors, like blue, red and yellow. But it didn't change from magenta (or pink) that evening. Then, later as I was packing up, it dawned on me that it stayed magenta because it was Valentine's Day.
Started pressing shutter button away
This time of the year two things always occur here in San Pedro, California. First, it gets windy. I mean, extremely windy. Yes, it probably has everything to do with the fact that it is a port/harbor town. The other is that, again, it being a port/harbor town, the thick wall of marine layer out in the ocean forces the sun to set early. I often see Catalina Island disappear under the thick blanket of marine layers. And this evening it was no exception. Once I was settled at a spot where I was able to capture the sun dropping right behind the wall of marine layer, I simply waited. The windchill was dropping fast. And then it was happening. Every corner of the marina was getting flooded by the gorgeous sunset glow. And then I started pressing the shutter button away.
I saw sky catching fire
When I get up in the morning, the first thing that I do is to check whether or not there are clouds in the sky. And that morning, the sky in the east was blanketed with an ample amount of clouds. As soon as I saw the pink glow slowly percolating through them, I grabbed my gear and headed over to the park where I go for a run. And then I saw the sky starting to catch fire.
Whole world was glowing orange
The marine layer that persisted all day finally gave way to the clear sky that was slowly turning orange. However, it didn't promise a gorgeous sunset. Instead, it diffused the sunlight like a giant soft box. While it cast a beautiful, soft glow all over the place, my drone shot up high into the sky. A perspective that I had never dreamt of witnessing was unfolding right before my eyes. The whole world was glowing orange as the sun touched the horizon.
Southernmost tip of South Bay!
As the drone soared high into the sky, the expansive view of Cabrillo Marina unfolded before my eyes. I often go for a run to and around the marina. But even when I run over the bike path, the highest point of the adjacent street park where I look in the direction of the marina, it doesn't offer a view even remotely close to what I am now able to look through the drone's tiny 1/2.3" (CMOS) sensor and 28mm lens. Not only the immediate marinas but also Cabrillo Beach and the pier, as well as the breakwater that stretched far out into the ocean. Welcome to the southernmost tip of South Bay!
Vincent Thomas Bridge at night
The brigdge was seen from the corner of the World Cruise Center. The water was calm, and the night was lovely.
Vincent Thomas Bridge and Catalina Terminal at night
The bridge stands over the terminal at Berth 95
Moon shines the fountain
Took a little stroll by the fountain at the night of full moon. It was quite pleasant
Cruise Ship Promenade boardwalk at night
Took a little stroll in the promenade
Glowing palm trees
The full moon was out. The clouds were scattered. The lights were bouncing. The palm trees were radiating!
What caught my eye
After finishing time lapse at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, I crossed the street and ended up at the rear of the the Ahmanson Theatre, thinking that I could take shots of dramatic clouds hanging over the mountains in a far distance. Unfortunately there was no clear view. I moved on and soon found myself at the front of the Mark Taper Forum. What caught my eye right away was the geometric shapes of the structure and the shadows cast on the cylinder shaped wall of the hall. I smoothed out the water surface to get a clear reflection.

My grandmother used to serve a lot of simple, not-too-sweet fruit desserts such as baked fruit and compotes. After the spread of commercial bakery products, many of us have forgotten about this option: it always seems easier to buy a box of cupcakes… however, when you start feeling like you've had way too much sugar, and you need a break, it's time to go back to the good oldies! While you may choose them mostly because they are waistline-friendly (especially if you are switching from cupcakes), cooked fruit desserts have the added bonus of vitamins and fiber, and many find them more appealing than raw fruit on cold fall and winter nights.
Buon appetito!
- 4 ripe pears
- 1 cup lemon sorbet
- 1/2 cup strawberries, or other berries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- peel of one organic lemon
- a teaspoon of unsalted butter, or nut oil for a non-dairy/parve version (almond, coconut)
Wash the pears and cut of a small slice from the bottom so they can stand straight. Without peeling them, place them in a parchment-lined pan. Sprinkle them with brown sugar, and a few flakes of butter (or brush with the almond or coconut oil).
Bake in a pre-heated 350 F oven for about 30 minutes or until soft, but still firm.
Allow to cool off for a few minutes. When they are still warm, but not hot, slice off the top and core the inside. Fill the cavity with the lemon sorbet and the berries. Put the tops back on and decorate with lemon zest.
* if you don't feel like anything frozen, you can replace the sorbet with a mix of ricotta, greek yogurt, and honey.

<![CDATA[When they arrive in the Australian capital next Friday, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be the first royals to attend ANZAC Day events in Canberra in nearly half a century.
Australian New Zealand Army Corps, or ANZAC Day, is celebrated every year on the 25th of April. Although it's original purpose was to honour those who had fought at Gallipoli during the First World War, ANZAC Day is now celebrated to honour all those who have served in every "war, conflict, and peacekeeping operation".
ANZAC Day is also celebrated in England, and is marked by a wreath laying ceremony at the Cenotaph and services which are held at the Australian War Memorial at Hyde Park Corner and at Westminster Abbey. These events are usually attended by the High Commissioners of Australia and New Zealand and a member of the Royal Family, representing The Queen.
Although members of the Royal Family have visited Australia numerous times in the past (Her Majesty alone has visited 17 times!), visits coinciding with ANZAC Day are very rare. Visits to Canberra on this day are rarer still, making The Duke and Duchess's visit a memorable occasion.
The last time such an event occured was 44 years ago when The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh were in Canberra as part of their visit for the bicentenary of the landing of Captain James Cook in Sydney in 1970. The royal couple laid a wreath of red poppies on the stone of remembrance before meeting with the massive crowds that had turned out to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty.
Since then, there have been only two visits to Australia to mark ANZAC Day, neither of them to the country's capital. In 1988, The Queen and Prince Philip attended events in Hobart, including the dawn service, attended by The Prince. The last royal visit on ANZAC Day was in 1998, when The Duke of Edinburgh took in the salute at the annual Parade in Darwin.
Canberra is host to the ceremonial ANZAC Parade, which is participated in by armed forces personnel and war veterans. This year holds special significance, as it marks 99 years since the ANZAC landings. During their visit, William and Catherine will watch the march and attend a commemorative service at the Australian War Memorial, before participating in a tree planting at Memorial Gardens. The tree will grow from the seed of the lone pine tree taken from the site of the Gallipoli Battle.
The end of the day's events will also bring the end of the Cambridge's Tour of Australia and New Zealand and, after bidding goodbye to their hosts, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with Prince George, will depart for London.

In a must-see video, former American Airlines CEO (and industry legend) Bob Crandall has made clear his thoughts on whether a merger of American and US Airways makes sense.
The video, posted Dec. 22 and titled "Thoughts for American Airline Pilots," Crandall says that although it's been more than 14 years since he talked to them collectively, he continues to talk to many American pilots individually and many have asked his opinion on what route to choose as American draws to the close of its restructuring process under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Crandall basically comes down in favor of a merger, but caveats that preference with a big "if": that pilots at both airlines first sign a seniority integration agreement. Without such an agreement, Crandall says, "bitterness and anger will undermine the spirit of cooperation that I think is absolutely essential for success."
Crandall says a merger probably makes sense because it would create a larger carrier which could serve more destinations with more frequencies.
"It would close off some advantages and opportunities that are now available to Delta and United," he adds.
"On balance, I would favor a merger, subject to a big 'if' and that is that there be a signed, sealed and delivered seniority integration agreement among all the pilots at US Airways and American before such a merger occurs," Crandall says.
"Unless such an agreement is in place, however, I do not think a merger makes sense."
Crandall explains that mergers are complicated and for them to work, everyone involved has to be onboard. "Without a seniority agreement, that won't happen and without cooperation, I am certain the merger will fall far short of expectations and might even cause such serious problems that the company could fail again."
He urges pilots to study carefully all the personal implications of a merger and weigh the potential personal downsides - such as having to fly smaller aircraft on undesirable routes - against long-term upsides. He also advises them to choose whether to leave final decisions to an arbitrator or to decide for themselves: he urges the latter.
The Allied Pilots Association, which represents AA pilots, has made some headway towards what Crandall advises. A couple of days before his video posted, a US bankruptcy judge approved AMR Corp.'s new labor contract with the carrier's 10,000 flight deck crew. And APA said it was involved in ongoing four-party discussions with AMR and US Airways management and the US Airline Pilots Association representing US Airways pilots. The talks "are aimed at crafting a memorandum of understanding that would serve as an interim agreement while a merger is undertaken," the union said.

Finally, what are the qualities that might define these poetics? Which styles, structures or forms, written or visual, have been used to articulate collective identities?
Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
- The emergence of collective identities/communities
- Manifestos, literary 'schools'
- Imaginary communities, imaginary Others
- The dissolution or destruction of collective identities
- Memory, remembrance, forgetting
- Revolution, rebellion, and counter-collectives
- Dissent and censure
- Archives and archival jurisdiction
- Poetics of isolated/ostracized groups
- Migration, diasporas and displaced communities
- Assimilation / preservation of collective identities

Please send abstracts of 200-300 words to Tim Wilson and Chris Brandon, firstname.lastname@example.com. Presentations will be limited to 15-20 minutes in length and participation is limited to graduate students. Abstracts and presentations may be in French or English. Deadline for abstracts: December 15th, 2010.

About a month or so ago, I bought a package of green lentils from Whole Foods. I didn't buy them for any specific reason other than I wanted to give them a try in something other than a canned soup. I hadn't really narrowed down a recipe until this week, when I was reminded of a recipe that a friend shared for Honey Baked Lentils. This sounded perfect! I even had a spaghetti squash in the fridge that I could use as a base for the lentils. The best thing about this recipe is that it is gluten-free in it's natural state. I love running across recipes like this!
Honey Baked Lentils
**Original recipe courtesy of Kay, modified slightly by me
1 cup lentils
2 cups water (I used 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup water)
2 TBSP Honey
2 TBSP Soy Sauce (I used La Choy Low-Sodium)
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 clove garlic (I used 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
1 small onion (I omitted this b/c I can't eat onions)
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all liquid ingredients in a bowl and whisk well. Add rinsed lentils and bake, covered, for an hour and a half or until tender. You can also saute and throw in veggies, or sub in a bit of rice for some of the lentils. **I threw in some steamed carrots to my bowl of spaghetti squash & lentils.

It is OK to delete the obsolete material. I think that it is all covered in the BLFS book for version 4.10.x. There are some more obscure dependencies that are not covered which I could add some notes on those that I have knowledge on from personal experience.
Putting the recommendation on the BLFS book there to replace it would be redundant because people installing 'Linux from Scratch' would have already been to the website and already be familiar with the book.
There are also people that are not using the LFS distro that just want to build KDE from source (for various reasons). What I want to do is to suggest to them is that a source of instructions on how to do this is to be found in the BLFS book. That is, unless there is an equally detailed tutorial on how to build (the release version of) KDE from source on KDE Techbase. My tutorial, which appears to have been deleted, was not nearly as detailed or as complete (but at the time it was written, the subject was not covered by BLFS).

It was only a matter of time: ebooks have gone indie. New, smaller websites are capitalizing on the success of ebooks by offering a boutique, curated experience which allows independent booksellers to promote less mainstream ebooks, including ones that have been self-published. By creating a culture around selected titles, indie ebookstores are acting like independent bookstores used to back in their heyday. With "staff picks," events, and author interviews, these indie ebookstores are the future of a mediated and targeted book-buying experience.
One ebookstore, Emily Books, which bills itself as "An Indi(e) Bookstore," has a subscription plan. It mails out recommended ebooks as well as entitles the subscriber "to exclusive events and priceless feelings of satisfaction, sophistication, and intellectual superiority."
In an interview with The Billfold, co-founder Emily Gould tells readers why they should look for ebooks from these emerging websites:
"If you buy a book from Emily Books, two genius ladies with great taste have not only okayed it, they've worked really hard to share it with you."
Another indie ebookshop, OnlyIndie, allows independent authors to competitively price their works, as well as increase their returns as the book gains popularity.
Adding a Personal touch
So the personal touch has begun to be given to ebooks. As a writer, this is an incredibly good thing. It means the book culture that fawns over smaller books, ones without a large publisher behind them, can now begin to do the same with eBooks.
Booksellers don't only play a role in making sure you get a book into your hands, they make sure you get the right book. That's why independent bookstores have long fostered a community that prizes great books over ones with mass appeal.
As a Lulu author, it makes sense to reach out to these emerging indie ebookshops to see if they're interested in offering your ebook. By not only having a bookseller, but a champion of your work, selling your book, you instantly expand your appeal and visibility. It's apparent that in the coming years, more and more of these indie ebookstores will enter the market, and the author that knows how to tap into their energy will be one who not only finds a broader audience, but also an energized bookseller.

The secret device behind the most feared corrosive substance to ever plague the mortal realms.
Meta energy...lent by lunos of the seven skys, father of the dragongods, has the power to alter events, rippling through time and space, no other form of energy is stronger, with the ability to even destory planets.It rips apart sheilds by going back in time before they were brought up. No weapon can withstand the force of such It is a power usable only by families bloodline, and those we have chosen to gift with miniscule amounts of its power. It not being of this plane, isn't even subjective to the so called "gods" here. Different worlds, different levels of power.
It is a power of change and manipulation, essentially leaving us to create with it what we will, if our mind is strong enough to do so.
Large amounts of this inserted into any one being/energy will cause them to implode, ripping themselves apart and sucked into another dimension entirely.
The limitations of meta are only set by ones mind, an open mind has no limits to the powers of meta.

Jerry Armstrong died on January 28, 2016 in Dallas, Texas at the age of 85. He was born in Enid, Oklahoma to Harry and Elsie Armstrong and raised in Russell, Kansas. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1953 with a B.S. in Geological Engineering, where he was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity. He served for two years in the Army Corps of Engineers with fourteen months in Korea.
Jerry married Bonnie Marshall of San Antonio, Texas in 1955. He began his career in Midland, Texas with Cities Services Oil Company as an exploration geologist before partnering with Ray Brownlie and Jim Wallace in 1960 and relocating to Abilene, Texas. While in Abilene, Jerry served as president of Abilene Country Club.
In 1970, Brownlie, Wallace, Armstrong, & Bander (BWAB) relocated to Denver, Colorado to pursue oil and gas exploration opportunities in the Rocky Mountain region. BWAB was successful throughout the Rockies (Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and North Dakota) and gained a well-deserved reputation for not only consistent success, but for straight talk and fair dealings. In 2004, Jerry was inducted into the inaugural class of the Rocky Mountain Oil & Gas Hall of Fame along with his partners.
While in Denver, Jerry served on the board of directors for Charter Bank & Trust and Cherry Hills Country Club, where he was a long time member. He was a former member of Columbine and Castle Pines Country Clubs in Colorado, as well as of El Dorado and The Vintage Club in Palm Springs. In 1984 he was a member of the winning amateur team for the Bob Hope Desert Classic.
Jerry is preceded in death by his brother, John Moore Armstrong. He is survived by the following family members: his wife, Bonnie; his sister, Jane Dalton; his children, Bill Armstrong and Beth Carrick; his grandchildren, Calie McCamant, Lindsey Strawn, Cullen Carrick, Jack Armstrong, Chris Carrick, Leigh Young, and Courtney Carrick; and his great-grandson, Peter Armstrong.
A small memorial event will be held on Wednesday, February 3rd at Cherry Hills Country Club from 5 – 7 pm.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution can be made in honor of Jerry to the Denver Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. You can either do this online, or by mailing a check to the Director of Development's attention: Michael Fifhause, 10455 West Sixth Avenue, Suite 100, Denver, CO 80215.

Climate Activists Dream a New Future
In the mid-1990s, a group of indigenous Achuar elders from the Ecuadorian Amazon sought out partners from North America. They were worried about threats to their ancient way of life and asked their partners to help "change the dream" of the north, which they say is driving the destruction of the rainforests.
The result was the Pachamama Alliance and its Awakening the Dreamer workshops, which encourage a re-examination of the values and assumptions that have led our society into social and environmental crises. Participants often turn their new insights into action. For example, the Massachusetts Climate Summer activists pictured at right are cycling across the state, discussing possibilities for a clean-energy future with those they encounter on the way.

We are well into the World Cup, which means endless amounts of football (or soccer, depending on your location) for the serious fans and a chance to dabble in that world for those less-serious fans of the sport. The group stage is coming to a close and there have been more than a few surprises, including Iceland's humbling of Messi and Argentina, Poland going down against the tenacious Senegalese team—and Germany? Really?
The World Cup, an event that very much goes beyond the ninety minutes of twenty-two players and a ball, generates an endless amount of controversy, discussion, national pride, rivalry, and politics from all sorts of people, including our favorite writers. With that in mind, today we bring you a special treat as Asymptote team members and readers share their favorite pieces of writing about the game.
From Austria: Elfriede Jelinek
Already, the 2018 World Cup has delivered its quota of surreal moments. Some have been joyfully surreal—the director of Iceland's 2012 Eurovision video leaping to keep out a penalty from one of the greatest players of all-time; Iran's failed attempt at a somersault throw-in during the final seconds of a crucial game against Spain—but others have had a more sinister edge. Among the defining images from the opening match was the handshake between Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman, two star players for the Axis of too-wealthy-to-be-evil.

Sorry, shorty - you could be headed to the poorhouse.
The height of a man is proportional to the salary he earns, a new Swedish study reveals.
The study, which will be published soon by Kalmar University in Sweden, conclusively found that the taller a man is, the more he banks at work, Swedish news outlet The Local reported.
Study authors measured 500,000 men at the age of 18, then compared their relative salaries when they reached the the age of 28. A man who was ten centimeters taller than another made approximately six percent more money, the study showed.
"These are not small differences we have noted," Professor Dan-Olof Rooth, who authored the study, told Swedish newspaper Ostran.
Rooth called the effects "consistent" and "conclusive" but said that he and the other researchers were still studying why correlation occurred.
The salary boost could be attributed in part to the fact that tall people tend to get sick less during childhood - giving them more time to develop professionally, Rooth said.

20 Ways We May Be Able To Help You With ONCA By Mark Blumberg
Here is my article 20 Ways We May Be Able To Help You With the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act ("ONCA"). It sets out some of the items that our law firm can assist Ontario non-profit corporations with when preparing for ONCA.
ONCA was originally passed in 2010. It has not yet been brought into force. Although it was expected to come into force in 2013, it has been delayed a number of times and it looks like it will only come into force in 2016 or 2017. When ONCA comes into force it will apply to all non-share capital corporations currently under Ontario's Corporations Act ("OCA"). Some Ontario non-profit corporations will wait till the last minute, and long after ONCA has been brought in to force, to focus on the ONCA changes and their impact on the governance of their non-profit. For some corporations this strategy may work fine, but for others it could create a lot of challenges and problems. Every Ontario non-profit corporation that is currently under the OCA should have a strategy for making the changes required by ONCA. Some smaller corporations will do everything themselves while others will wish to obtain legal counsel to assist with the transition.

Enrollment & Degree Verification
Indiana University Southeast has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide enrollment and degree verification information for loan deferment to our student lenders. Information about what has been shared with your lender is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year from the National Student Clearinghouse website.
It is important for students to keep their anticipated graduation date current. This information is used by lending agencies as part of their deferment processing. Federal law requires that the University collect information on all degree-seeking students that specify when a student expects to graduate. In addition, most financial aid providers require the same information as part of the enrollment verification/certification process.
We recognize that with our particular student population, students often take longer than the traditional four years in which to complete their degrees. It is to your advantage to keep this date current with your school advisor / recorder so that any third party, such as a financial aid provider, has the latest information.
Please contact your school/division office to change your anticipated graduation date.
Loan deferments processed via the National Student Clearinghouse are provided beginning Fall 2007 to the current term. For details about what information has been provided to your lenders, check the National Student Clearinghouse website.
Additional National Student Clearinghouse contact information:
Customer Support
13454 Sunrise Valley Drive, Suite 300
Hendon, VA 20171
Phone: (703) 742-4200
Clearinghouse business hours for customer support are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-7 p.m., EST.
Loan deferments prior to Fall 2007 (4078) will continue to be processed by the IU Southeast Office of the Registrar.
Enrollment Verification & Good Student Discounts.
Students can now print immediate copies of their enrollment verifications and Good Student Discount (if qualified) information. Click the ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION link in One.iu.edu. This link will take you directly to the National Student Clearinghouse website.
- Print enrollment verification certificates to send to health insurers, housing providers or other organizations requiring proof of your enrollment.
- Check the deferment forms and electronic notifications sent to your lenders.
- Obtain a list of your student loan lenders and link to real-time loan information.
- View enrollment verifications provided to student service providers at your request.
- View your enrollment history.
- IU began transmitting enrollment records to the National Student Clearinghouse in the Fall of 2007 if a student supplied their Social Security Number (SSN). [Prior to Fall 2009 students who withheld their SSN will not be able to validate their enrollment at IU Southeast through NSC Self-Service. The Clearinghouse has no ability to link records that were once submitted under a UID and later submitted under an SSN.]
- Beginning Fall 2009 forward, student enrollment records are being transmitted to the National Student Clearinghouse with a University ID (UID) only.
Enrollment verifications (PDF) for students prior to Fall 2007 for medical insurance, good student discounts, childcare reimbursement, etc. will continue to be processed by the IU Southeast Office of the Registrar, UCS 107, by bringing photo identification.
The Office of the Registrar issues an official Indiana University document for verification of academic record information to agencies responsible for loan deferments, insurance companies, or other student benefit program organizations. Academic record information available for verification may include prior and/or current enrollment, enrollment status (full-time, part-time), grades, GPA, and final degree conferral.
IU Southeast will certify enrollment at the end of the 100% refund period for a particular term. IU Southeast will not certify enrollment for future terms even if a student has already registered for classes and paid for the term prior to the first day of the second week of classes. Visit the academic calendar for specific dates.
In some cases students may use current enrollment in the IU Independent Study program towards full or half-time enrollment for purposes of certification or loan deferment only. NOTE: The Office of Financial Aid will not consider enrollment through IU Independent Study towards any financial aid enrollment requirements until after the coursework has been completed. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information.
It is the student's responsibility to inform the Office of the Registrar that she or he is enrolled in the IU Independent Study program as it will not automatically appear in our campus-based review.
Current students who simply want an unofficial copy of their course schedule or transcript may obtain one without charge through One.iu.edu.
See our Student Confidentiality & Disclosures link to see how the campus handles requests for information which are not initiated by the student.

"This Is My Life" is the movie that made me want to make movies. I first saw it in second grade, so I wouldn't have articulated it as such, but that's what was going on. I must have watched it on VHS eleven or twelve times in one summer, trying hard to grasp something. About its characters? About its construction? On each viewing, a new joke or angle revealed itself to me and its world became richer. I loved Samantha Mathis's surly teen, Gaby Hoffmann's quippy innocent, and especially Julie Kavner's Dot, their single mother, a standup comedian hellbent on self-actualizing despite, or maybe because of, these daughters. But what I really loved was the person orchestrating the whole thing. The costumes, perfectly low-rent polka-dotted blazers and grungy winter hats. The music, a mixture of vaudevillian bounce and Carly Simon's voice that somehow made the city seem more real than if car horns scored the film. The camerawork, a single gliding shot that followed each family member into her bedroom as she settled into a new apartment in a less than desirable Manhattan neighborhood. I loved whoever was making these actresses comfortable enough to express the minutiae of being a human woman onscreen.
It wasn't until years later that I understood this was Nora Ephron. I devoured her prose, her other film offerings, and became a fangirl right along with my mother, aunt, grandmother, and every other intelligent woman in the tristate area. Which is why it was so momentous when, in March of 2011, I received a short, perfect e-mail from Ephron, saying she had seen and enjoyed my film and would like to take me to lunch.
I was twenty minutes early, and hid in a corner until I saw Nora enter, greet the hostess, and be shown to the best table in the place. I watched her order a Diet Coke and check her iPhone, and then I finally appeared at the table, already regretting my choice of top. But when she looked up, my fears evaporated. I was just so excited to know her.
Over the course of our year-and-a-half-long friendship, Nora introduced me to, in no particular order: several ear, nose, and throat doctors; the Patagonia jackets she favored when on set because they were "thinner than a sweater but warmer than a parka"; ordering multiple desserts and having small, reasonable bites of all of them (I thought, Oh, so this is what ladies do); the photography of Julius Shulman; the concept of eating lunch at Barneys; self-respect; the complex legend of Helen Gurley Brown; the Jell-O mold; her beloved sister Delia. She explained how to interact with a film composer ("Just say what you're hearing and what you want to hear") and what to do if someone screamed at you on the telephone ("Just nod, hang up, and decide you will never allow anyone to speak to you that way again"). She called bullshit on a whole host of things, too: donuts served in fancy restaurants; photo shoots in which female directors are asked to all stand in a cluster wearing mustaches; the idea that one's writing isn't fiction if it borrows from one's life.
Her advice was unparalleled. At one of our lunches this past January, I was sheepishly describing a male companion's lack of support for my professional endeavors. She nodded in a very "don't be stupid" way, as if I already knew what I had to do: "You can't possibly meet someone right now. When I met Nick, I was already totally notorious"—note: Nora was the only person who could make that word sound neither braggy nor sinister—"and he understood exactly what he was getting into. You can't meet someone until you've become what you're becoming." Panicked, I asked, "How long will that take?"
Nora considered a moment. "Give it six months."
I loved her propensity for asking a question when she already knew the correct answer but wanted to let you make a tiny fool of yourself. The best example of this was when we were discussing a popular book and she earnestly asked, "Did you think that was a good book?" I said, "Well, yes," before Nora came back, sharply, with "It wasn't." I later told this story onstage with her, and she laughed as though she knew it was one of her most awesome tricks.
When I brought horribly failed brownies that no one ate to her family Thanksgiving, she didn't try to placate me, but, rather, said, "I feel that these brownies are destined for a moment in the second season of your show." (At this point, there hadn't even been a first.)
After that Thanksgiving—an incredibly lovely evening spent in her home in Los Angeles, watching her beautiful interactions with Nick and Jacob and Max, and tasting a turkey she'd made that even she had to admit was perfect—I went home and likely offended my own mother by announcing that "it was with the kind of family I was meant to have." From an outsider's perspective (and I was one of many orphans stranded in L.A. that she let in from the hot), there was a generosity of spirit and a sparkle of frank wit that I'd heretofore only seen in Nora Ephron movies. We discussed current events and played running charades. Nora went around the table asking if any of us would ever kiss a Republican.
The last time I saw her was in April, for a screening of "This Is My Life" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with Delia and the writer Meg Wolitzer, whose book the movie was based on. We did a long Q. & A. in which Nora was so generous with an audience of hungry young people that I still get thankful e-mails about it. She discussed directing for the first time, learning to shot-list and talk to a crew. The idea that it had taken her a moment to settle into filmmaking was so deeply comforting. Women asked her openly for life advice, their voices tinged with panic. She explained that being a working mother will never be balanced, so we just need to get over that and try to do the best we can. She explained that you cannot wait around for someone to give you permission to tell your stories. She also gleefully name-checked five or six people she hated in the movie business but asked that the audience please not tweet it (they listened), and said that she was the only woman in Hollywood who had not slept with Sven Nykvist.
Her relationship to "women in film" questions and debates has fully dictated my response: a mix of a raised brow—"Do we really need to go over this again?"—and an understanding that sexism isn't gone, and that we have to engage in the debate a bit, even when it frustrates us. Still, I'm in awe of her square refusal to be pegged as a woman writer. The gender- and women's-studies student in me wants to write a thesis on Nora's contributions, but the Nora devotee simply wants to render her in the type of smart, deceptively basic details that were the trademark of her work.
That night in Brooklyn, she had chosen not to watch her first movie, and so, while it screened, we ate dinner. She tried to order salad, and the restaurant, a hipster farm-to-fork place, said it wasn't in season and therefore they couldn't serve it. Nora: "How totally bold." Later, a pasta came with greens atop it. "O.K., that's salad."
After the Q. & A., "This Is My Life" was playing again, on a new print. "Let's just stay for five minutes," Nora said, "to see how the print is." Five turned into ten turned into forty, and Delia and Meg and Nora and I were utterly with the film, comprising almost the whole audience (the first showing had been sold out, but this one promised no Q. & A., and was dead). A few times I pinched myself—getting to watch Nora watch—but mostly I savored my first favorite movie. As a second-grade fan, I didn't understand that the film hadn't been a hit, but, despite some glowing reviews, this fact had in some way hindered Nora's appreciation of her first movie. Twenty years later, she seemed to be reclaiming it, humbly but joyfully. "I watched it on VHS this weekend," she had told me earlier, "and I actually thought it was pretty good."
That first time we had lunch, I told Nora that I still lived with my parents in a small windowless back room downtown. Her reaction was slightly amused and appropriately appalled. It was only after reading her essay about starting her life over again as a single mother in the Apthorp that I decided I might be capable of living alone. As I hunted for a place, I tried to use Nora-esque criteria—prewar details, an open courtyard, an eccentric building staff, and neighbors who appeared to dabble in the occult, at least enough for a good story. When I finally found my place I waffled, but when I described it to Nora, she said, "Perfect. You'll never regret it."
When I still hadn't moved three months after taking ownership of the apartment, Nora insisted that I use her contractor, who fixed my little home up in a manner she would have approved of. She had advice about good white paint and how to handle old tile. I told her it was my Apthorp, whatever that means. The first night in my new home I read "Scribble Scribble" by the light of my one lamp. The cover is Nora, all lean shoulders and cap of bobbed hair, looking moody but impish.
This past week, the elevator in my new building both flooded and caught on fire, so an extra doorman had to be hired to carry elderly women up the stairs. I think Nora would find this funny and strange and awful. Every sweaty step I take to get to the sixth floor I hear her name like a mantra.
When searching my inbox last night for an e-mail from Nora, to get the specifics of her phrasing, I came upon this sign-off to a short but sweet one thanking me for lunch: "see you somewhere… xox." Somewhere, it turns out, is everywhere. I see Nora in the home I wouldn't live in if not for her, the shot list I make in the van to set in the morning, and the jacket I slip into when the sun comes down (she always sent links along with tips). I see her when the craft services on set isn't up to par, or in the process of getting to know a man who seems to understand. I see her in the worst hair moments and the best soup moments. I know I am only one of hundreds of women, people, who will miss Nora's company, and millions who will miss her voice. The opportunity to be friends with Nora in the last year of her life informs the entirety of mine. I am so grateful.

Induction lighting is a type of electrodeless lamp, a light source in which the power required to generate light is transferred from the outside of the lamp envelope by means of electromagnetic fields or induction. In other words, induction lamps don't use electrodes; instead, they use the principle of induction (transmission of energy by way of magnetic field). This contrasts with a traditional electric lamp, which uses electrical connections within the lamp envelope to transfer power. Except for this method of transferring power, induction lighting is similar to conventional fluorescent lamp technology in the way that UV is converted to visible light with the use of phosphors (e.g., mercury vapor in the discharge vessel is electrically excited to produce short-wave ultraviolet light, which then excites the phosphors coating the interior of the lamp to produce visible light), as shown in the Figure (click here to see Figure).
Although they are gaining in popularity, induction lamps have actually been commercially available for the last 20 years. The first type, introduced in the early 1990s, was shaped like an incandescent bulb. Today, there are two main types of magnetic induction lamps — internal and external inductor technology. The original and still widely used form of induction lamps are the internal inductor types. External inductor types, which are a more recent development with a wider range of applications, are available in round-, rectangular-, and olive-shaped versions.
While there are no clear estimates on the size of the induction lighting market in units or dollars — because sales of this product aren't currently broken out by any regulatory body, such as the National Electrical Manufacturers Association — some manufacturers and installers report growth and opportunity in this area, especially within industrial, high-bay, and exterior area lighting applications.
The benefits
The absence of electrodes in induction technology offers users several benefits:
- Extended lamp life, as the electrodes are usually the limiting factor in lamp life. By not incorporating an electrode, the lamp life is only limited by the life of the electronic components. Most induction lamps sport an impressive lamp life of 60,000 hr to 100,000 hr.
- Improved efficiency levels, with lumen-per-watt efficacies in the 80 to 90 range.
- Reduced costs. Currently estimated at half that of solid-state and metal-halide light sources in specific applications.
- Easy one-for-one lamp and ballast retrofits.
- High quality of light (80 or better), as measured by the color rendering index (CRI).
Other benefits include instant-on capability (enabling use with a photocell or motion sensor), lumen maintenance in excess of 70% of its light output at 100,000 hr, minimal color shifting, and starting temperatures as low as -40°F, supporting their use in extreme temperature conditions.
The drawbacks
To provide a truly fair assessment of these lamp types, however, it's also useful to know the applications for which induction lighting technology is not best suited. Based on its diffuse nature, induction technology is not ideal for accent lighting (e.g., retail track lighting or otherwise), where the objective would be to create contrast and highlights.
"Induction does well in a wider thermal range (ambient temperatures), but may not have the directional capabilities for certain street lighting applications where the customer requires a more controlled distribution pattern," says David Alpert, executive major account representative with Sylvania Lighting Services, Danvers, Mass.
In addition, based on its current price range of around $300, induction is not necessarily best suited for projects where first cost is a priority, although it may deliver an attractive payback when considered in the context of its total cost of ownership over its life.
Available options
Some of the most popular induction lamp products currently in the marketplace are those in the 55W to 165W range. The lower-wattage products are popular in area lighting installations, and the higher-wattage products are typically directed toward indoor applications. Products are also available on both sides of this range. The 200W lamps satisfy user needs for high-wattage options in industrial high-bay applications. On the lower end, 40W lamps are popular for their ability to support exterior applications requiring less light output, such as downlighting, canopies, security lighting, etc. Manufacturers are also focusing on ballast development for induction lamps and will be launching ballasts with continuous and bi-level dimming capabilities in the coming months.
Modern applications
A broad range of interior and exterior applications can benefit from induction lighting.
Externally, these include area lighting for municipal streets, parks, campuses, parking garages, and tunnels. Induction lighting has also been very effective as a light source on offshore oil rigs because of its stability, long life, and high resistance to vibration. One of the more high-profile uses of induction lighting technology was near Washington, D.C. within the Pentagon Memorial, unveiled on September 11, 2008, and designed to honor that site's 9/11 victims (see SIDEBAR: A Fitting and Long Lasting Tribute below).
Interior atria spaces with high ceilings, such as two-story retail spaces and airport concourses, can also benefit from induction lighting, as can other diffuse/general lighting applications, such as industrial low-bay/high-bay settings, exterior signage installations based on the -40°F starting temperature (large box signage especially), covered parking facilities, decorative post-top street lights, and exterior-mounted security lights. Other successful interior installations have occurred in gyms, indoor sports fields, and indoor equestrian facilities. In addition, the technology is well-suited to cold storage applications like walk-in freezers and unconditioned warehouses, where induction lighting can be combined with occupancy sensors for maximum efficiency.
Overall, induction technology is ideal in any application where long life is critical and/or where maintenance cost avoidance is a priority, such as in difficult-to-reach applications like high ceilings where lift trucks are required or hazardous locations, such as bridges and tunnels.
Tips for contractors
Although this technology is not as old as some others, induction lighting is mature and proven, delivering attractive white light, high lumen maintenance, significant energy savings, and long life to a variety of indoor and outdoor applications. So how do you put this technology to work for you and capture some new business in the process? Here are several tips for electrical contractors to consider:
- Because induction lighting carries a relatively higher initial cost than some other light sources, you must sell induction lighting on the basis of the total cost of ownership over the life of the technology, stressing its energy efficiency and long life.
- Thermal management of an induction system (with the electronics) is critical for the life of the system, and its life can be significantly impacted by the degree of control exerted over the temperature of the electronic components. Although the system is intended to last for years, improper design of an induction luminaire will negatively impact its lifespan. "Temperature and fixture venting definitely play a big part in how well any of these products will perform and last over time," says Alpert.
- Stick with reputable induction lighting products and brands. "There are numerous off-shore solutions vying for the business," says Alpert. "Beware of companies that are making 100,000-hr claims with 90+% lumen maintenance on their induction lamps, as testing has revealed that many offshore products have poor lumen maintenance due to their manufacturing process."
- Proper installation is critical. "Our contractors install both new fixtures that use induction components as well as retrofit kits that will work in many existing fixtures," says Alpert. "Whether a new fixture or a retrofit is involved, it's important to understand that the efficiency of the fixture is predicated on good optics. Retrofit kits should include a new reflector to properly illuminate the area."

A Fitting and Long-Lasting Tribute
In commemoration of the 184 people who died at the Pentagon in the terrorist hijacking of American Airlines Flight 77 on September 11, 2001, a memorial with a unique and memorable lighting design was unveiled just southwest of the Pentagon in Arlington County, Va., during a special ceremony in 2008. The design of the Pentagon Memorial features 184 units of bench-like cantilevered steel suspended over illuminated water pools; each unit is driven by a 55W induction lamp projecting white light into each reflecting pool.
Chris Hartzler of Balfour Beatty Construction, the general contractor on the project, explained in a previously published interview that the memorial was the primary light source for the 1.95-acre memorial park. "A key challenge was to mount the light horizontally, underground, have it reflect through water, and still emit enough light so that visitors could safely navigate their way through the park at night," says Hartzler.
Because the memorial is open to visitors 24 hr a day year-round, it was critical for the team to select a lamp that not only delivered bright, white light, but could also promise reliable, long life. Induction lighting proved to be an ideal choice of technology for the application.
Today, luminaire replacements can be easily managed by the park's maintenance crew. The memorial continues to stand as a timeless tribute to the brave victims of the tragedy on 9/11. "In my opinion, the best time to view the park is at dusk when all the lights come on," says Hartzler. "The place is literally transformed."

Charging station concept
Charging station concept
Did you check out this company? Someone else posted about it on another thread. http://gigaom.com/2013/02/12/a-german-startups-plan-to-make-electric-car...
Looks like a pretty simple ye efficient approach to charging. Wonder if these ethnology could be adapted to supercharging?
typo ...yet
other typo lol ...thechnology.
Really???? I cannot believe this forum doesn't allow you to edit what you wrote, it should at least give you a couple of minutes after you post to edit. technology.
No, this isn't a real forum, just sort of a mangled blog comment site. Unfortunately.
Yeah it's kind of lame. The best thing is to just let small typos go. Don't bother making a second post to correct yourself unless your typo made the meaning of your post unclear.
Oops I forgot about the topic.
I thought that was the idea behind the superchargers, at least for some of the installations anyway.
Sounds like the Super Charger network Tesla has already started to build out. By their sister company Solar City.
If you listen to the "reveal", Solar City is integral to the system. It is what permits "free for life" access by MS owners. The cost to TM is trivial; a full station costs about $250,000 in chargers and hardware per station, a one-time cost.

December corn closed 8 ¾ cents lower today to finish at $5.02 holding that critical level of $5. A slightly wetter midday forecast and a stronger US Dollar Index were both factors in the price drop. As we progress into August the market could continue to take out some of the uncertainty premium they have built in. I think this is why we are seeing corn break while soybeans are still holding support. The market is pricing in a large weather premium for soybeans long before the critical month of August when beans are made. For this reason we want to keep plenty of downside coverage on your new crop beans. Wheat has been following corn lower but September Chicago wheat is still holding a fairly decent premium to September corn. Today's EIA report was par with expectations for ethanol production/stocks and was not a major market influencer.
The USDA announced a new crop soybean sale to China for 165,000 MTs. The tightness of old crop soybeans has been a large supporting factor for the new crop as well. The corn-bean ratio is now at 2.56 to 1. This is historically high and the ongoing strength in this spread points to what I just mentioned regarding the extra premium beans are getting over corn as time progresses (see chart below). This is not due to a significant change in demand. It is from the change in the perception of supply. If we don't get a large yield cut in beans as many are suggesting, and China doesn't import 69 million mts as the USDA is suggesting, than this spread is probably overdone to the upside. Corn would have to rally against beans for this spread to come back into line. Another likely scenario in our opinion is that the spread trades lower but it happens in a bear market from soybeans falling at a faster pace than corn. Weather in August is still key for this spread so we will have to monitor the extended forecasts as we get closer. I am just pointing out that we can't add a higher chance of a weather problem developing this year as we do any other year just because we have had three bad growing seasons in a row. Tomorrow morning we have export sales at 7:30 am. Analysts are estimating 450-650 soybeans, 1200-1400 corn, and 900-1200 wheat. Have a great rest of the week.

For bigger or for worse, online bank is advancing to New Jersey.
In backward February, Chris Christie clearly active into law a bill that legalized internet bank in Atlantic City.
Initially the bill was banned by the Governor because of issues surrounding accuracy and taxes. Lawmakers adapted the argument and the adapted bill anesthetized by an cutting majority in the assembly and becoming Christie's allowance of approval.
Here are the basics of the bill:
– Casinos amid in Atlantic City-limits will be able to administer for a authorization to action online gambling. Alone the twelve official Atlantic City-limits casinos will be acceptable for the license. No added organizations can action internet gambling, and face annealed fines if they do. All accessories acclimated for the operation of internet bank accept to be amid aural city-limits limits; alone bets that are accustomed by a server in Atlantic City-limits will be legal.
– Players accept to be "physically present" in New Jersey to abode wagers. In the future, New Jersey may advance agreements with added states area internet bank is acknowledged to admittance out-of-state gambling. The casino's accessories accept to verify players' locations afore accepting wagers.
– Any amateur accessible to play in the casinos can be played online. (For comparison, Nevada alone allows poker.) As of now, sports action will not be adequate by this bill, although the accompaniment of New Jersey is aggravating to action the federal statute barring the amends of sports betting.
– The bill has all kinds of accoutrement to accumulate bank addiction at bay, such as acute the arresting affectation of the 1-800-GAMBLER hotline number, a way to set best bets and losses over a assertive aeon of time, and tracking amateur losses to analyze and absolute users who may authenticate addictive bank behavior.
– Acquirement from online bank will backpack a 15% tax. The Christie administering states that about $180 actor in acquirement for the accompaniment will be generated from this tax, but some analysts anticipate this amount is seriously overestimated.
The official regulations, which the bill adapted the Division of Gaming Enforcement to produce, were released on June 3, and are accountable to a "public animadversion period" until August 2 afore getting finalized. These rules cover data such as how a bank acquires the adapted licenses and procedures for advancement arrangement aegis on bank sites.
So, will online bank in fact account the state?
The Good
Revenues from Atlantic City-limits casinos accept been on the abatement for the accomplished seven years, and online bank could be what saves the declining casinos. Since 2006, bank acquirement has alone from $5.2 billion to about $3 billion. Online bank could be a $500 actor to $1 billion industry in New Jersey, which may be abundant to accumulate disturbing casinos afloat and save jobs in Atlantic City. Further, even admitting estimates of tax acquirement are all over the map, there is abeyant for online bank to be a appreciably admired antecedent of money for the state. The casinos will aswell accept to pay a tax to the Bank Reinvestment Development Authority, which will accommodate added abetment to disturbing casinos in Atlantic City.
For the player, low aerial costs beggarly bigger prizes and added opportunities to play. Casinos can incent players with chargeless "chips" that accept basal costs for them but accord players added opportunities to play and win. The accessibility of bank online allows players to play added with beneath travel.
One of the goals of the bill is allegedly to allure added humans to appointment the brick-and-mortar casinos, but it is harder to say if online bank will in fact advance to this outcome. One could brainstorm it could even could could cause humans to go to the casinos beneath (However, this seems unlikely; the amusing aspect and the chargeless drinks are absent in online gambling. Also, analysis indicates that, at atomic with poker, internet gaming does not abate bank gaming.) Advertising for the host bank will be accustomed on the online bank sites, which could possibly animate humans to appointment the bank but could aswell be annoying for players.
Online bank could be actively adverse for humans who accept bank addictions, or even could could cause humans to advance them, adopting banking and moral concerns. Even with all the bactericide accomplish the bill requires, it will absolutely be abundant harder to cut off besetting gamblers if they can abode bets anywhere with an internet connection.
Regardless, it is traveling to be a while afore the casinos can in fact bang off their online bank offerings. The regulations charge to be accomplished and casinos charge to administer for licensure and advance their bank websites. This agency the casinos will not be adequate this new antecedent of acquirement during the 2013 summer season, which could be Atlantic City's toughest division anytime afterward accretion from Hurricane Sandy.
New Jersey has placed its bets, but alone time will acquaint if online bank will be a jackpot or a bust.
