Kirk Kerkorian's Alter EgoBy
The private jet awaits the trip to New York. Team Kerkorian is assembling in an eighth-floor suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Lee A. Iacocca is at one end of the sofa; at the other is Dan Taylor, a financial executive at Kerkorian's investment arm, Tracinda Corp. In the middle of all the activity, alternating between English and Armenian as he switches lines, Alex Yemenidjian is working the phones. A potential partner checks in from London. The boss, billionaire Kirk Kerkorian, calls from Las Vegas, sending Yemenidjian to the privacy of a second room.
Until the Apr. 12 unveiling of Kerkorian's $20.5 billion plan to take Chrysler Corp. private, the 39-year-old Yemenidjian largely was unknown to the outside world. But to those in the know, he's the 77-year-old billionaire's alter ego. Indeed, as Kerkorian regroups to battle a staunchly resistant Chrysler board and management, he is relying heavily on Yemenidjian.
BLUE-COLLAR BOYS. While Kerkorian has maintained his characteristic low profile since the Chrysler announcement, Yemenidjian has been on the front lines. The day of the announcement, he fielded questions for two hours from reporters. Since then, he has shuttled between Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York on Kerkorian's private jet, chatting up potential investors and plotting strategy.
Yemenidjian's role reflects his tight bond with Kerkorian. Although Yemenidjian was born in Argentina and Kerkorian in the U.S., both are sons of blue-collar Armenians. When they met at a 1989 lunch, Yemenidjian was the managing partner of an accounting firm, providing financial advice to Hollywood types such as TV anchor Mary Hart and actress Jennifer O'Neill. Within a week, Kerkorian hired Yemenidjian.
A CPA with a penchant for Hugo Boss suits, Yemenidjian quickly became the primary dealmaker for Kerkorian's empire of Hollywood and Vegas holdings. He raised nearly $900 million in debt and equity to build Kerkorian's MGM Grand Hotel & Casino and helped the boss sell the MGM film studio to Italian financier Giancarlo Perretti for $1.3 billion. When Kerkorian wanted to expand his MGM Grand luxury airline, Yemenidjian sized up ailing Pan American World Airways and Trans World Airlines. Kerkorian didn't bid on either, and late last year, Yemenidjian unloaded the airline for a small profit. "Kirk doesn't like to use investment bankers," says Kerkorian's attorney Terry Christensen. "He makes his own decisions, but he trusts the information Alex collects for him, and he trusts Alex' judgment."
TYSON'S RETURN. Before the Chrysler deal, Yemenidjian focused on expanding Kerkorian's casino holdings. He moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 1992, and as chief financial officer at Kerkorian's 74% owned MGM Grand Inc., he supervised construction of the $1.1 billion MGM Grand hotel and hired its top staff. In March, Yemenidjian negotiated a six-fight deal--at the MGM Grand--for former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson's return to the ring after serving a three-year prison sentence.
Once Chrysler started heating up, however, Tyson turned into a sideshow. Yemenidjian won't divulge his next steps. But it's apparent that Kerkorian's angry Apr. 25 letter to Eaton, in which he challenged the auto maker to put his offer to a vote of shareholders, sums up Yemenidjian's sentiments as well. "Is the duty of management to protect their jobs and keep their bonuses, or to enhance shareholder value?" Yemenidjian asks. "And if they are not going to do something about increasing shareholder value, then we will do it for them."
How? Yemenidjian waves off the question. "Stay tuned," he says. "This is not greenmail, and we're not going away." With that, his team regroups to head for their next meeting. There's an airplane waiting.

Product Description
Bob and Corina Neher are the proud owners of Clay in Motion, Inc pottery studio located in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, just south of Walla Walla, Washington. Established in 1981, this family owned and operated studio produces more than 100 different items of functional high-fire stoneware.
Bob's interest in pottery began in high school when his instructor introduced him to throwing and his interest grew from there. After graduation, pottery was done in his spare time in an effort to perfect his craft. Corina's interest in pottery also began in high school and upon meeting Bob, she worked with him in perfecting the art. They were married the same year the studio was established. They are a great team as Bob does the throwing and firing while Corina works on the glazing and decorating.
Pottery is Bob and Corina's livelihood and the functional items they market are their prime concern. Each handmade, hand decorated piece is fired at 2200 degrees Fahrenheit and are lead free, dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe. All of the clay used at the studio is of the highest grade giving it a smooth texture and high density. They prepare and mix all their own glazes in order to control the contents. There are twelve steps in making a quality piece of pottery, the final one being to inspect each piece to ensure the finest handmade quality possible.

Two Court Verdicts That Suit Business
Business scored two wins from the U. S. Supreme Court on Apr. 20. The justices ruled 5 to 4 in favor of the Newark Morning Ledger Co., a New Jersey newspaper company, and against the Internal Revenue Service. The decision allows companies to write off acquired intangible assets, such as newspaper subscriber lists, bank deposit accounts, and brokerage accounts, if they can be accurately valued. That could wipe out as much as $10 billion in taxes companies had owed on such assets.
The justices also ruled unanimously that Hazen Paper, a small Holyoke (Mass.) company, had not practiced age discrimination when it fired Walter F. Biggins, then 62, just before he was due to vest in its pension plan. The court said the firing was O. K. as long as it wasn't motivated by negative stereotypes about older workers.

- Bilberry Horse Chestnut Review by Barbara
I've had restless legs for many years and they are very sore when I am in bed. In recent years I've worn pressure socks in bed which relieves the aching. Maybe it's too soon to judge this product but after a few weeks, I am still not being relieved from the pain. I will continue for another month before I make a final decision about using the product.

- Very good product for leg circulation problems Review by Eve
I had circulation problems in my legs which made them ache and the muscles cramp up especially at night. I tried the Bilberry Horse Chestnut supplement complex and after a fortnight I could sleep at night without the constant ache and cramps I had before. I would recommend this product, it worked for me.

Like all of you here, If it came to it, I would use deadly force to protect my family and property.
However, as some of may know, it can be a challenege, especially at 3 AM when your sound asleep and your woken up by sounds of an intruder. If he/ she is walking down your hallway, for some, esecially those like myself that have children and need to have thier firearms locked in an easily accessible safe, it might be too late. What I decided to do it put locks on all doors (even if it is a simple latch) leading to the main living areas. The mud room which is accessed through the garage and the door leading to the basement, for example. Most breakins happen through the garage or basements. If you hear the intruder coming through one of these areas (garage or basement) you will have plenty of time, b/c they need to get through the locked door leading to the living area. If they already entered and are attempting to get in the living area, you, again, will have time b/c the locked door will hold them up.
Also, keeping the storm doors locked will help also.

'The Environmental Protection Department'. It sounds like a department set up to - oh, I don't know - protect the environment, right? So imagine my surprise to find this agency is behind possibly the biggest threat to public health since the new airport: the Shek Kwu Chau waste incinerator.
Well, it's not exactly on Shek Kwu Chau. Nobody can accuse our green-thinking, open and accountable government of planning to ruin an ecologically diverse island smack in the middle of one of Hong Kong's few remaining unspoiled sea vistas. The city is reassuringly building the incinerator - which is set to burn 3,000 tonnes of rubbish a day - 10 metres off its coast.
A few pesky taxpayers keep objecting to the HK$15 billion price tag and continue to call for public consultations. Meanwhile, infinitely patient officials from the department insist that the incinerator will produce zero emissions while adding in the same breath that 'all pollutants will blow over to Cheung Chau'.
It's not that I'm against hare-brained government schemes per se - our civil servants need something to do, after all. But I do object to their total disregard for their job description: civil and servant. They are here to serve the public, not launch attacks on the health of future generations.
Hong Kong hasn't had a waste incinerator since the last one was shut in 1997 due to pollution concerns. Since then, the government has been constantly warning that our landfills are overflowing but doing nothing about it except scattering some recycling bins here and there.
Calls for a 21st-century answer to our waste problem look set to be ignored. And the super-hi-tech solution? Ship it all to an unspoiled island near some tourist attractions and send it up a chimney.

Needs assistance with value of bow
I am new to archery so I lack a lot of knowledge that a lot of you have so I'm asking for a little advise. I was wondering what a Martin Hatfield takedown 40# is worth. The bow is about five/six years old and is in real good condition. It has a couple very small scratches.
I wanted to get my wife in to archery so I was buying a used x-200 30# for her and the guy arrived with the Martin Hatfield, x-200 and a Bear Grizzly 50#. Plus about 24 new arrows and about 30 used with three quivers. I know the x-200 should be worth around $200? The grizzly around $200? I'm not sure about the Martin Hatfield. All items are about five or six years old.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks
I also posted this in the Archery Talk forum but haven't received any replies

To get the volume data:
volume = FinancialData["IBM", "Volume", {"Mar 1, 2004", "Mar 24,

Then just plot it:

Re: Being The Booker
Let me crack open a review for SuperBrawl since for some reason I appear to be getting back into the thick of things here, unexpectedly since I thought I was going to be swamped with work and stuff. Anyway ...
Fine opening video. Intertwining the whole football/wrestling thing was done well and it seemed like an enjoyable read. Liked the amount of puns used to, and if the show is as good as the opening video then we're in for a treat. Oh, and I
'd at "Clip from Superbowl XXV and Scott Norwoods missed field goal." I always see that play in my memory (I'm not a Bills fan tho, lol).
SuperBrawl match kicks off the show which I actually believed it would. Didn't post predictions though so take my word for it. Lesnar getting eliminated first was a bit of a shocker, but he was probably going to be in a major Raw main event match, most likely with the loser of the Ironman Match tonight anyway so him being out of this equation isn't a damper. The animosity with HBK and Orton still seems to be filtrating and HBK goes for SCM~ .... and hits KANE! Gotta love HBK just pinning him anyway, and now The Big Red Machine is out of the fray. With it being down to four now both of these feuds can now pair off and Angle eliminating Taker now will probably set the stage for Angle/Taker at WrestleMania which should be awesome. Anywho, back to the match. HBK eliminating Orton via SCM will probably put this feud to rest as HBK's thing with Foley doesn't look to be ending any time soon and now this can finish awesomely with HBK and Angle in the ring. Great finish with Angle popping up and slapping on the Ankle Lock, as Angle wins!! And to no one's surprise Angle/Taker is CONFIRMED. Bring the best for that, though I'm sure you will anyway.
Onto a match that I believe we may see a title change, in Rey/Kennedy. Also, I'd really like to see a Kennedy/Rey match end with Rey going for a seated senton, with Kennedy dropping him down with the Mic Check. Probably won't happen here but I can get my hopes up right? Anyway, looked to be a good match with a ton of near falls it seemed. Rey winning was a bit of a SURPRISE imo as KK was looking to be on fire heading into it, but I guess it just was not his night.
Edge appearance at The Friendly Tap ... hmm. What could this mean?
Tag Team Championship match ending was not much of a surprise as Batista and B'Lash definitely were not going to take the titles off of AMW. Albright's attack means we'll probably see Albright/Lashley at WrestleMania, and I'm also wondering just where Batista is going? Hopefully some clarification is given, unless I missed something ... which might be possible.
Trips doing it alone can only mean one thing ... and I'm not going to say it because I'm not positive yet that it will happen.
Looked to be a down right brutal I Quit Match between Christian and Tomko. Christian winning was about as obvious as obvious can get so no harm done here. Looking strong heading into WM and what should be the point where he gets to start his second title reign. But then again, being the RR winner doesn't guarantee success...
Steel Cage on Raw between Orton and HBK sounds EPIC. Foley appearance plz. Already adds to the wedding with HHH and Steph, which well, could be carnage if HHH doesn't win tonight.
Uh oh, no Edge means ... well, he'll make an appearance in the title match of course!
And as I thought, he does just that. Good match between RVD and Jericho, not too surprising however. And being that it's a no contest it seems to be setting the stage for a possible Triple Threat Match at Mania, which could OWN in fact since RVD, Jericho, and Edge are all great. But I could be wrong, just how I see it.
"See you Friday" from Arn, means something big is gonna happen. Oh Edge, you and your unawareness...
Alright, down to business here with what will be an amazing match. Freakin' awesome I say. Most of the falls looked to be well done and all made sense. Though I was surprised with the amount falls that there were. Personally believed there'd be about 5-6, and not 9. But YES!! As I was thinking throughout, CENA wins. Face versus face at WrestleMania is definitely a good route to go on and definitely was the kind of shock that would turn some heads. Wedding on RAW is going to be epic and filled with carnage about, as they always seem to do. Got me waiting for it, that's all I'll say.
Good shit as per Wolfy. Road to 'Mania should be great.

You've already seen Toy Story 3 in 2D, 3D and at the Imax. And there are only so many times you can watch the epically spooky trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – not out until November! Another three months! – online. Meanwhile, school's out for summer and there are still four-and-a-bit glorious weeks of freedom stretching out and waiting to be filled. A family holiday, a couple of trips to the beach and some Famous Five-style adventuring in the great outdoors might soak up a little of that time and excess energy, but there are still oodles of hours left over – some of which, at least, could be filled with more than a Club Penguin marathon and memorising Justin Bieber dance routines on YouTube.
A little culture perhaps? Where once the words children and culture combined meant an uninspiring programme of improving summer reading lists at local libraries, a few felt-tip pens and an Impressionists colouring book at the gallery or a treasure hunt around the nearest stately home, today's offerings are much improved. The modern child is a sophisticated cultural consumer. You couldn't move at Latitude for small bodies in Technicolor wellies thronging the poetry tent and trilling along to Sunday-night headliners Vampire Weekend (how did they know all of the words? Wasn't it past their bedtime?). Already this summer, young television fans have spent the first weekend of their holidays packing the Royal Albert Hall to the rafters, dressed in dickie bows and mini tweed jackets, for the sold-out Doctor Who Prom. There was Matt Smith and a smattering of Daleks to draw them in, sure, but there was also Wagner, Holst and John Adams, all rapturously applauded by thousands of eager first-time Prommers.
And last weekend, teenagers streamed into the hipster haven of London's Victoria Park to bounce around in straw hats and sundresses to an impressively grown-up line-up that included MIA, Crystal Castles, Stornoway and Tinchy Stryder, at their very own Underage festival. No adults allowed. The message comes across loud and clear: culture for children no longer has to be childish.
It's not just in the child- and teen-friendly arena of music and festivals, either. Across the country's galleries and museums, castles and historical estates, there are days out and activities rooted in the arts, from a free Arabian Nights festival at the V&A to Toddler Tuesdays, workshops at Gateshead's sleek home of contemporary art, Baltic. The Moscow Ballet Theatre will perform Sleeping Beauty at Alnwick Castle (you may know it better as Hogwarts), while an evening double-bill of Let the Right One In and The Lost Boys at London's Somerset House should attract older Twihards looking for a more culty cinematic take on vampire romance. There are classes with the English National Ballet at Southampton's Mayflower Theatre, a Harry Potter day in the John Rylands Library in Manchester, and story-telling sessions with Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy and her daughter in Edinburgh.
Young theatre buffs can enjoy Hamlet redux at the RSC in a special one-hour version adapted and directed by hot American talent Tarell Alvin McCraney (The Brothers Size). It has the company's first British-Asian Hamlet in Dharmesh Patel, Horatio played by young, black actress Simone Saunders and, most importantly, no gravediggers. Book me a ticket now, please.
Equally wonderful is Kids Week (now extended to three weeks thanks to phenomenal demand), offering free tickets for children to all manner of West End shows, from War Horse to The 39 Steps and backstage activities to boot. For younger stalls-dwellers, critically acclaimed theatre productions of The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and Peppa Pig's Party continue to tour.
Meanwhile, up at the Edinburgh Fringe (which starts today), there are around 100 children's shows on the programme this year. Adults and children alike will queue for tickets to Farm Boy, Michael Morpurgo's sequel to War Horse, at the Assembly. More intriguingly, there's a burgeoning trend for stand-ups to perform a children's show as a lighter, daytime alternative to their adult fare. Irish/Iranian comedian Patrick Monahan's Brand New Stories and Tales for Kids Who Can Run Faster Than Snails is billed as stand-up for ages five to 105, with stories including "Sinbad the Overweight Cat", while James Campbell's Comedy and Songs for Kids features accompaniment from Helen Arney, the musical comedian who by night sings songs of desire on an electric ukulele.
There's even an early-evening show at the Bongo Club where stand-ups showcase child-friendly versions of their adult material. "No jugglers. No magic. No clowns. Just the comedians who are in Edinburgh doing their stuff without swearing", runs the flyer. Last year David O'Doherty, Jason Byrne and even the famously racy Brendon Burns called in.
For art lovers, the erstwhile enfants terribles of Britart, Gavin Turk and the Chapman Brothers, have also turned their attention to infants. Unlikely as it sounds, child-mannequin defacers Jake and Dinos Chapman unveil their children's commission for the Whitechapel Gallery tomorrow, while Gavin Turk continues to cart his creative caravan House of Fairytales around the festivals: next stop Vintage at Goodwood.
Finally, be sure to book tickets to Ernesto Neto's latest exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. With stretchy giant sculptures, ladders and a rooftop paddling pool, it really is fun for all the family. After all, who said summer holidays had to be all about the kids?

Available: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2222269. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: We present an example of a simulation-based forecast for the 2012 U.S. maize growing season produced as part of a high-resolution, multi-scale, predictive mechanistic modeling study designed for decision support, risk management, and counterfactual analysis. The simulations undertaken for this analysis were performed in December 2012 using weather data up to and including November 30 2012, making it less a forecast of the harvest itself (which was largely completed before this date) than a forecast of the official county-level statistics of the 2012 harvest, scheduled for release on February 21, 2013. The presence of useful predictive information in a zero lead time forecast such as this is a necessary, although obviously not sufficient, condition of a framework's ability to provide useful predictive information at longer lead times. Droughts and other climate extremes call for a comprehensive approach to monitoring, modeling, and predicting growing seasons globally by using a combination of statistical models, real-time satellite observations, and high-resolution process-based models. Learning from the successes of weather forecasting, researchers need to bring together data and models in a probabilistic framework that leverages real-time data and high-performance computing to improve risk assessment for a range of scales, such as demonstrated here.

Two new books highlighting images of West Michigan scenery as captured by local Rockford artist Stacy Niedzwiecki are now available. In a co-publishing partnership with Spectrum Health, Niedzwiecki has created a book, "Healing Images—A Selection from the Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion."
The book features one of each photograph Niedzwiecki has permanently installed in the cancer center's art collection—63 images in total. Showcasing some of the most scenic areas of West Michigan, the book makes a great gift for anyone who appreciates nature's beauty. Copies can be purchased online at stacyn.com/wordpress, or at the Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion Specialty Shop, Frenz Coffee House in Rockford, and Robinette's Apple Haus & Gift Barn in Grand Rapids. The artist's website also lists upcoming book-signing dates and art fair events. Books ordered online can be custom-signed and shipped to any location.
In another effort just released, Niedzwiecki has 12 pages of photographs from the Muskegon County area in a second book, "Pure Michigan: Abundant Natural Beauty, Authentic Destinations, Unique Experiences: Spring."
Niedzwiecki was one of 10 professional photographers who were charged with the task of capturing the vibrancy and beauty of the Great Lakes state during the spring season of 2009. The best of their efforts was compiled into a hardcover book containing more than 110 beautiful pictures. The images of people, places and landscapes are perfect for any Michigander's coffee table. The "Pure Michigan: Spring" book can also be purchased online or by visiting Niedzwiecki at one of her upcoming events. For further information, please call the artist directly at (616) 550-8107.

Transplant tree near underground utility lines?
1 Attachment(s)
I unfortunately have a beautiful Red Maple tree that is planted in my back yard near underground utility lines (cable tv and electrical)
At what point in this trees life should I expect there to be problems with its root system and these utility lines?
If this is not for 10 years should I just let the tree go and then chop it down years from now?
If this will occur in a short time, when is it too late to easily transplant a tree?
In the photo the cable tv boxes are about 15 feet away, but notice the red flag right by the trunk
this is the line of where the utility lines go underground. I would say these lines are at least one foot under ground and could be 2 feet plus.
I base this on the frost line in my area being at least two feet and in another area of my yard I have gone almost 16 inches and not found a line yet.
I also base this on seeing how deep they make the trench of other homes in the plan when they build a new house.
As per the details, if I put a rope around the trunk of the tree middle it is about 9-11 inches around.
It stands about 12 feet tall.
It was installed less than one year ago (installed November 2011).
The placement of the tree was totally my mistake.
I had wanted the tree to be planted further away from this area.
The landscaping company kept putting me off for planting my trees (5 in total) last year becuase it was a smaller job.
They kept saying, we'll call you next week.
So in the meantime, I marked the area near the electrical box to help the PA One Call system to mark utility lines.
I did not expect the tree to go there. Shortly after the contractor called me and said my trees were installed.
I never got a chance to tell them that the white circles in my back yard were not the spots I wanted them.
The roots and utility lines may will learn to live together. The problem is that if you ever have to service the utilities you will end up chewing up tree roots and perhaps killing the tree. Plus working around the roots will cost you!
The problem with your strategy of letting them grow for 10-15 years and then cutting them down is that it makes this tree hugger cringe. I want already to picket you for planned tree cruelty. As a practical matter, while you can cut the tree down a decade from now, trimming and getting to all the roots is much more complicated.
You should have the trees moved now before they establish themselves.
look like the tree is still young..can you move to another place? wait until all the leaves are gone in the fall and move the tree to another rplace :thumbup:
Better to let the utility know that you plan on moving it. Even then, they may just tell you to leave it alone or get hit with a large bill if you knick a trunk line that feeds those pedestals.
I am not a tree hugger but I would like to avoid killing this tree. I got 5 trees instead of 4 for the reason of promoting tree life. Even for the most huggable sycophant, there is a line in $$ that one would make the decision to put 'er to sleep.
I am betting low risk that any service outside of tree roots would occur in the next 30+ years. And the utility boxes that are there only service my home in the direction near my property (if there would be a root problem on other property I would have this same problem since there is another tree feet away from this suspect one).
Therefore, I am trying to gauge the repair cost of any utilities versus moving the tree. While it cost less than $100 a tree to initially plant my guess is that it would be $200 to move the tree. I am also trying to gauge if transplanting the tree would be successful as installing a brand new caliber tree would be $350. If in x years there is a service problem and this costs $200 I will leave the tree be. If this is $2000+ then I view this decision to be easily answered.
Moving the tree could have its own inherent risk both from hitting the utility lines during extraction as well as during the transplant. Therefore, I might be swaying away from the DIY approach.
Thanks for all of the insightful replies.
The main roots aren't usually much large than the drip line (extent of the leaf canopy). I agree with all above...move it now. Don't wait for it to be a problem...
I know for me to put in a new 200A overhead service to my house at a wire length of approx. 50', I'm looking at over $1k in material alone. That was an over-beer-discussion estimate from last year by my electrican friend. I don't think things are getting cheaper.
Move it now. For one thing it is planted way to deep, a common problem and even, I mean, especially the landscapers do it, . You should be able to see the root flare just above ground level. Because of that depth the tree is gonna have problems later on and you'll wind up chopping it down anyway. There are lots of folks making a living now using what they call an air spade to uncover the root flare of trees that were planted too deep years ago. Its not a cheap job. Take a look here
Scroll down to TREES ALL SUBJECTS and you'll see all about transplanting, planting, depth etc. And is that a bucket around the trunk? What's that for?
I'd raise hell with the landscapers, whadda ya mean, "totally my mistake"? They kept putting you off, they too busy to have you as a customer? Then they show up a year later without contacting you and just start planting trees without asking you where you wanted them? Have THEM transplant it, and make them do it right.
Unfortunatly I don't think you're gonna get much 'customer satisfaction' in the long run from folks that put off for a year in the first place. Call up some more landscapers ask how deep they plant their trees and how they figure out where the customer wants them. Ask um if they start digging holes B4 the utility companies have marked their lines, big fines for that in our area. Too bad there wasn't a high power line down there that those oh so busy guys wound up hitting, with an iron shovel.
You will be planted deeper than that trees roots till it causes any problems with the utility lines
As they say in NY
FORGET ABOUT IT:laughing:
chrisn, I agree, the roots aren't gonna interfere with the utilities and the utilities aren't gonna affect the roots. But that tree is not planted correctly, there are going to be health and longevity issues down the line. Seems a shame to have to wait a year then pay for a job done so sloppily and that may cost more money later on.
Tho there are some un-tested and unproven claims that magnetic fields, such as occur around lines carrying electricity, have an effect on plant growth. Most theories say a benificial effect.But I think New Yorkers would say the same thing about those theories as the non-existant utility problem , which I think is actually, Fugget about it. Them Yankees shore dew tock funny.
If it is planted to deep, I agree 100%, I cannot really tell from that pic.
I would talk to an arbourist about the tendency of red maples and let him have the final say. All trees are different and not all of them will necessarily interfere with the utilities. I have a HUGE madrone sitting right on top of the water, sewer and gas lines and when we had the sewer scoped, it looked as good as the day they put it in decades and decades ago.

Evidence of eastern cougar in Fundy National Park of Canada
Recent DNA analysis of a hair sample collected in Fundy National Park of Canada in New Brunswick may add fuel to the argument that cougars are still roaming Eastern Canada.
The jury's still out, however, when it comes to confirming that an eastern subspecies of this people-shy large cat still exists. In fact, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada includes the Eastern cougar on its "Data Deficient" list, which means that there is inadequate information to make an assessment of its true status.
The hair in Fundy was found as part of a cougar monitoring program. Similar programs are also taking place in Kouchibouguac, Cape Breton Highlands, La Mauricie and Forillon national parks.
For more information about the Eastern cougar, visit the following sites:

'Flappy Bird' Creator Speaks Out
The creator of the gaming app "Flappy Bird" is speaking out for the first time since pulling his game from circulation Sunday.
Dong Nguyen tells the "Wall Street Journal" that he wanted to create a game that people played for a few minutes, not for hours at a time.
Dong said that he also wanted his life to return to normal following the immense popularity of the game, saying he couldn't walk down the street in Hanoi without being pestered.
He does have more games in development, and Dong says the success of "Flappy Bird" has given him freedom and confidence to keep creating more gaming apps.
Prices are going through the roof for iPhones that have the Flappy Bird app installed.
People who have loaded the app on their phones are selling them on eBay.
There are several iPhones listed online with prices well into the thousands of dollars.
Most have been pulling in quite a few bids.

The Lumia 630 announcement at the Build conference earlier this year was met with a bit of confusion as to whether the device packs in the expected proximity and ambient light sensors. In absence of a clarification from Nokia, most argued that the sensors were missing while the official product listing mentioned the ambient light sensor in the features adding to the confusion.
However, now we know that while Nokia introduced SensorCore in the device, it took away the two sensors to keep the lean specifications for a budget smartphone.

Last year, the "IE users are dumb" story was a hoax. This year, puzzle site data show IE users the worst at math puzzles.
Patrick Min of Calcudoku, a math puzzle site that has been up for three years, wrote a paper comparing how long it took for users to solve math puzzles on his site, broken down by browser. The fastest puzzle solvers used Chrome, the next fastest Firefox, and the slowest solvers used Internet Explorer. While Min is careful not to call IE users dumb, his paper is titled "On the Choice of Browser and Numerical Intelligence."
Having fun at IE users expense once again, even Google's CEO Larry Page mentioned the study. And since Min included some serious data along with well-reasoned data interpretation, and nice charts, those poking fun at IE users have a real study, not a hoax, to back them up.
Talkin' smack
Did Min's research consider the fact that Internet Exploder is slower or that it crashes more often? After all, it isn't called Internet Exploder for nothing.Ben S Name on infoworld.com
The more likely conclusion is that IE is likely to crash before a puzzle can be completed.jamesh on slashdot.com
IE Rocks! Down with Chrome!Nate Over on plus.google.com
Making excuses
My guess is that IE, being the default browser (since windows is the default OS), is simply used by a much wider spectrum of people.Jeff Tracy on infoworld.com
I think it's because the majority of IE users are working, while users of other browsers are not...TexasBum on infoworld.com
Or maybe Internet Explorer users more often play at work, see their boss come in and quickly 'abandon' their puzzle.Luc Jansen on plus.google.com
Alternative theories
So what the guy is really saying is that Chrome users are obsessive compulsives and I.E. users are normal.Colin Smith on slashdot.com
The people who, pick the best browser, are mostly going to be the smartest!David Pirouet on plus.google.com
I propose a new hypothesis: IE users are the most likely to have something better to do than sit around all day solving puzzles. I think this really more suggests that Chrome users are the most bored.Samantha Wright on slashdot.com
Your job for the day: explain the study to IE users. If you use IE, ask a Chrome user to explain it to you.

The Brilliance of José López
It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Brandstudio Press online store will be offering José López's best-selling art book/sketchbook, entitled "Mariachi Samurai". A gorgeous hardcover book, 80 pages worth of full color illustrations, preliminary character designs, backgrounds and cartoons.
I you think I'm bias because I consider him one of my friends you'd be right. But friendship aside, way before I met him I thought he was one of those rare beings I lke to call "Renaissance freaks". An incredibly talented and well-rounded individual, who's rare in this world of "especialists" and "multitaskers" where artists train to do one thing and one thing only, no one inks his own drawings, no one designs his own characters no one writes his own stories for the characters they design and so forth, and on the other hand, the so called multitaskers are more like ducks than artists; well, you've seen the duck before, he flies, swims and walks but does none of those things really well.
José's range of skills is vast and then some, those of you who already own this book know exactly what I'm talking about. Not only everything he chooses to do he does well but he excels at whatever he does and with style to boot. He produced this book, designed it and published it himself, having dwelled in this "business" of art for longer than I care to remember and painfully knowing how hard it is to remain independent, I have a lot of respect for those who take that leap of faith and invest in themselves, he's sought after by the best animation companies out there, any studio or publisher would have been glad to publish this book but he chose to do it himself, that says a lot more than I can talk about the man.
This book sold out in record time last year so if you didn't get it then, now it's your chance. Feel free to go to brandstudiopress.com and order your copy before they sell out again. Or click on the button below to order your copy:
For those of you who don't know, click here to visit José's blog and see why I think so highly of him.
Two Boxes of Pistolas
On my last trip to Seattle, my friend Kandrix who puts together the amazing Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo up in Canada, informed me that I still had a couple of boxes of my sold out "Veinte Mujeres con Pistolas" left up there. Last week we sold some at the Expo and I brought the remaining copies back home with me. They're also up in the Brandstudio Press online store now for purchase.
I know a few of you missed buying them and asked about a reprint, this is not a reprint but rather the last few remaining copies left from the original print run, minus the flaps, long forgotten in Canada. Again, if you missed buying this book last year and you still want it, go for it, while supplies last.
Thanks for your support!

Comikxguy: That would be nice, I had no clue. Where did you hear that?
oh, a little bird named krupt told us
from krupt rudolph's blog:
"recently my good friend (and artist extraordinaire) Alberto Ruiz asked me if I wanted to do an artbook that he would publish. Cue lightbulb above head. So for the past couple of months, I've been secretly working on an artbook.
Of. . .you guessed it. I've been wanting to do one for the longest time but never had the resources, time, drive or balls to make it happen.
Thanx to Mr. Ruiz, I at least have the balls part.
The name of my project is The Black Book.
It will be a full color, 48 page hardcover artbook full of lovely ladies of all shapes, sizes and color.
I'm maybe 85% done and super psyched about it.
I hope to have it done and available for SDCC (hopefully)"
there ya go alberto :)

Boy, am I sore
Really didn't use the chain saw a lot, but it was crucial in hacking through some undergrowth. I accomplished my main goal, which was to clear the forest around the cabin so you can walk around it. This was harder than it sounded. When the two-story structure was moved there, the lot was cleared (which makes no sense to me - why have a cabin in the woods and then chop down the woods? Then again, if the original owners had a brain, they would have paid their taxes and we wouldn't have bought the property at a tax auction).
I want the forest to come back, and on one side, closest to where some pine trees were left standing near the property line, there are some nice trees shooting up. They're taller now than the cabin. They are slowly squeezing out the scrub, which is what I want. Perhaps somewhere down the road I'll think about trimming out the pines, but for now I love them.
As for the cabin itself, and had to re-secure a window that had blown open, but otherwise it was intact. It's hard to work there, there's no utilities - what you call a "hunter's cabin". I suggested to Patricia if we ever install anything, electricity would be the first thing; that way we could have a/c and, more importantly, a refrigerator for food and water.
There's a telephone pole across the street, so I don't think it would be a big deal. Anyway, using the chain saw and pruning shears left me real sore, but I'm on the mend.

"It's possible that you haven't run into the stories of Lou Antonelli. Since 2003, he's been publishing delightful short tales of alternate history all over the nooks and crannies of the SF world. Thanks to Fantastic Books, we now have 28 of these little gems in one place. "Many of Antonelli's stories have an unexpected twist ending. And many of them are what he calls "secret history" stories, which aren't exactly alternate history—they're set in our familiar history, but there's always some element that contemporary observers missed. " -
- Don Sakers, The Reference Library, Analog July-Aug. 2014
A better path develops for a distraught man in "Double Exposure" by Lou Antonelli (debut 6/11 and reviewed by Frank D). Jake is about to end it all. He has been trying to keep his high maintenance wife happy for decades and has needed to embezzle to satisfy her spending habits. Now, on the verge of indictment and abandoned by his spouse, he buys a gun. Before he pulls the trigger, he spies a Kodak one-day photo hut. Curious, he pulls up to the window. They are holding pictures of him and his last girlfriend from 30 years before. The package is a lot thicker than it should be. Double Exposure" is listed as an Alternative History story but I would classify it as a Magical Realism tale. It is set as a second chance tale, a look into a life that should have been. The author is inspired by his memories of the old photo huts (I remember them) and of their disappearance. A cool idea (photos of another life), one that I could imagine would make for a great anthology.
- Frank Dutkiewicz, Diabolical Plots
"Great White Ship": A traveler stuck waiting for a flight strikes up a conversation with an old airline employee. The Old Timer tells him a story of a Great White Airship that arrives from a most unusual destination. The story of a craft from an alternate reality and how it got there is only the precursor to the final act. This is one of my favorite stories from this site. I have a great passion for lighter-than-air craft and their potential as a future means of transport, which opens the story. The author uses this speculation to launch into an engaging tale. As fascinating as the main story line is, the alternate history premise that accompanies it is just as worthwhile. This story was well written and very well thought out. It is well worth the read. Recommended.

I had Pepper out on a home trial when the people called to say she just was not right for their family. I asked if I could interest them in another dog and they said they really wanted a Beagle/or Beagle mix. I call our office and was told we had a Beagle girl at the vet at that very time being spayed. I made arrangements to pick her up and kept her for only 3 days. The family saw here and it was love at first sight. She has fit into their family and is loved and happy. Pepper went on to have her own family also. It just works out if you are patient and all are happy.

GALNT6 encodes a member of the UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes. Additionally we are shipping GALNT6 Antibodies (58) and GALNT6 Proteins (7) and many more products for this protein.
This paper describes the identification and cloning of the orthologous human enzyme of mouse UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 6.
These enzymes, xGalNAc-T6 and xGalNAc- T16 (show FBLN3 ELISA Kits), from different branches of the N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (show B4GALNT2 ELISA Kits) do not only display differential substrate specificities, but also specific and distinct expression pattern and biological activities in vivo.
Role of N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (show B4GALNT2 ELISA Kits) 6 in early tumorigenesis and formation of metastasis.
These data suggest that excess O-glycosylation on APP (show APP ELISA Kits) by GalNAc-T6 inhibits Abeta (show APP ELISA Kits) production.
GALNT6-fibronectin (show FN1 ELISA Kits) pathway should be a critical component for breast cancer development and progression.
Expression of ppGalNAc-T6 is significantly higher in breast cancer compared to 'normal'/benign breast tissue samples. ST6GalNAc-I (show ST6GALNAC1 ELISA Kits) expression in breast cancer is associated with better prognosis.
This gene encodes a member of the UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes. GalNAc-Ts initiate mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus by catalyzing the transfer of GalNAc to serine and threonine residues on target proteins. They are characterized by an N-terminal transmembrane domain, a stem region, a lumenal catalytic domain containing a GT1 motif and Gal/GalNAc transferase motif, and a C-terminal ricin/lectin-like domain. GalNAc-Ts have different, but overlapping, substrate specificities and patterns of expression. The encoded protein is capable of glycosylating fibronectin peptide in vitro and is expressed in a fibroblast cell line, indicating that it may be involved in the synthesis of oncofetal fibronectin.

Marketing push, harsh northern winter spur record Florida tourism

TALLAHASSEE Fla. (Reuters) - A record 24 million tourists visited Florida this spring, up 3 percent from 2013, spurred by unusually cold northern weather, a Google program that allows virtual beach tours and aggressive marketing, a state official said on Tuesday.
Preliminary numbers also show tourism spending totaled $35.7 billion from January through May, up 7.4 percent from the same period last year, said Will Seccombe, president and chief executive of Visit Florida, the state's travel promotion agency.
The spikes accompanied the state's first cold-weather marketing campaign during an usually harsh northern winter.
"It happened to coincide with the polar vortex, which none of us were really planning on or banking on," Seccombe said.
At a meeting on Tuesday, he showed Florida Governor Rick Scott and the state Cabinet television spots that were aimed at northerners and Canadians with the slogan "Must be the sunshine." One featured tourists flying in "V" formation like geese to beaches, golf courses and theme parks.
With children going back to school, Seccombe said the year-round ad campaign will now begin targeting retirees and young couples whose vacation plans are not tied to school calendars.
Visit Florida estimated that 2.8 million overseas visitors came to the state in the April-June quarter, including 1 million Canadians.
Scott, whose re-election campaign is focused heavily on job creation, said his administration invested $74 million in Visit Florida with a goal of drawing 100 million tourists this year. Continued...

School lunches have been on the receiving end of harsh criticism for years, so when Martha Payne, a 9-year-old girl from West Scotland, decided to blog about the questionable quality of the lunches she received at Lochgilphead Primary in Argyll it wasn't really anything new. The school's decision to ban her from taking pictures of her lunches, however, was an entirely different story.
Jamie Oliver, who had previously voiced his support for Martha, decided to voice it again via twitter when he heard of the ban.
The school had a sudden change of heart after all the social media attention and decided it would be okay for Martha to take pictures after all. Martha is once again photographing and talking about school lunch on her blog, Never Seconds, and the administration is now back-pedaling and trying to not look like they were strong-arming a little girl.
Check out one of the more pathetic school lunches Payne posted about after the break.

Though he has one TD in 18 career NFL games and is not an explosive talent, Danny Amendola should be on the radar of fantasy owners in PPR leagues. He has been targeted 31 times this season. That's more than Santana Moss, Malcom Floyd, Marques Colston, and Greg Jennings.
He also has sure hands, which he displayed on a brilliant 14-yard, one-handed catch in Week 4. Yet for some reason, Amendola is a free agent in most fantasy leagues. A lot of people still perceive the Rams pass offense to be inept thanks to their performance last year and the fact that they have a rookie at quarterback.
The Rams, however, use a short passing attack and Sam Bradford has been very effective. St. Louis is showing a lot of faith in Bradford -- he's averaging 39.5 passing attempts per game. Bradford's poise is also improving each week, so there's reason to believe the aerial attack as a whole will improve as the season progresses.
Amendola will never be an elite fantasy wideout. That said, when a receiver is being heavily targeted in a pass offense that only figures to improve, they at least deserve roster consideration in deeper leagues. With the bye-week portion of the NFL season underway, you could do a lot worse than giving Amendola a shot.
