HOT news: Pacific carbon pump speeds up in summerUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
An international team of scientists led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa oceanographer David Karl has documented a regular, significant and unexpected increase in the amount of particulate matter exported to the deep sea in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre.
They suspect the previously undocumented phenomenon may be a response to day length, a general phenomenon known as photoperiodism.
This summer export pulse is approximately threefold greater than mean wintertime particle fluxes and fuels more efficient carbon sequestration, according to an article published in the February 7 PNAS, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Co-authors are Matthew Church from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, John Dore from Montana State University, Ricardo M. Letelier from Oregon State University and Claire Mahaffey from the University of Liverpool.
Half of the photosynthesis on Earth is attributable to microscopic, single-celled phytoplankton that inhabit the sea. The vast majority of photosynthetic carbon fixation takes place in low-biomass, low-nutrient open ocean gyres, with about 15 percent of particulate organic matter settling into deep-sea reservoirs to await eventual resurfacing.
The researchers suspect that the unanticipated summer jump in deep-sea sequestration of carbon is due to seasonal increases in the biomass and productivity of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria in association with diatoms.
This increase in microbial presence and activity is distinct from surface blooms, which don't necessarily result in transfer of particulate matter, but does have ecological implications, said Karl. Besides identifying the probable mechanism and documenting seasonal variability and efficiency in carbon sequestration, the findings confirm the importance of nitrogen fixation and diatom-cyanobacteria symbiosis in the efficient transfer of carbon and energy to the deep sea.
In the absence of any obvious predictable stimulus or habitat condition, the scientists hypothesize that changes in day length may be an important environmental cue to initiate aggregation and subsequent export of organic matter to the deep sea. Nearly all cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae studied to date, including marine diatoms, have light-activated molecular switches, they note.
Their conceptual model provides a testable hypothesis for future laboratory and field experimentation.
A baseball-playing, motorcycle-riding youth who served as high school class president and aspired to become a commercial fisherman, Karl was captivated by the sea from his first glimpse of the ocean, viewed from atop a Maine mountain when he was 17.
As a master's student at Florida State University, he helped improve the assay used to quantify ocean microbes and applied it to marine sediments—the first of many tools and processes he had a hand in developing.
A newly minted PhD just hired by the University of Hawaiʻi, he set off on his first National Science Foundation–funded grant to study newly discovered life forms at hydrothermal vents on the Galapagos Rift. In 1999, he published the first account of microorganisms in another extreme environment, the accreted ice of Antarctica's Lake Vostok.
Karl conceived of the Hawaiʻi Ocean Time-series program, launched by the National Science Foundation with a $1 million grant in 1988 and is still collecting crucial microbial and biogeochemical data such as that providing the basis for the current paper. (UH Mānoa colleague Roger Lukas leads the companion physical oceanography portion of HOT.)
Along the way, Karl has garnered numerous professional awards and been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He has published hundreds of papers and helped secure more than $62 million in extramural funds. His proposal of "Southern Ocean" as the name for waters south of the 60° south latitude was formally designated by the U.S. Geographical Board of Names, and he is credited with helping create the discipline of microbial oceanography.
As director of the new Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education, a National Science Foundation–sponsored Science and Technology Center with five partner institutions, he continues to advance the understanding of the life of the sea "from genome to biome."
Reflecting on his first Galapagos Rift dives, Karl says the mesmerizing deep-sea hydrothermal vents "revealed how little we actually knew about our planet."
With unflagging enthusiasm, he continues to do his best to change that.

WASHINGTON — US troop deaths in Afghanistan have plunged to the lowest level in four years, reflecting a pullback from direct combat into the less deadly role of advising and assisting Afghan forces as they do more of the fighting.
Attacks by Taliban insurgents also have declined, although the war is far from finished.
Pentagon figures show that the United States lost three soldiers in January, including one who died of injuries suffered in December. That was the lowest monthly total since December 2008.
The total of 30 US deaths over the past three months is the lowest for any three-month stretch of the war since late 2008 and early 2009.
The improvement is more than a statistical note.
It marks the approaching end of battlefield sacrifice by US troops who fought the nation's two post-Sept. 11, 2001 wars — more than eight years in Iraq and 11-plus years in Afghanistan.
The last US troops left Iraq in December 2011, with a cumulative death toll of nearly 4,500 and more than 30,000 wounded. In Afghanistan, a little more than 2,000 have died and 18,000 more have been wounded.
Harder to calculate is the psychological toll on troops and their families, underscored by a rising number of military suicides, which last year reached a post-2001 high.
''The reality is that while combat operations may wind down, the impact of these wars, and the high state of readiness the military must maintain, means that the need for . . . services and bereavement support will continue for military families,'' said Ami Neiberger-Miller, spokeswoman for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, a private support group.
By the end of next year, all American combat troops are to have left Afghanistan, although President Obama may keep a few thousand there to continue training Afghan forces and to press the hunt for terrorists.
The United States now has 66,000 troops in Afghanistan.
Afghans already are taking heavier casualties as their allies prepare to leave.
More than 1,200 Afghan soldiers died in 2012 compared with more than 550 the year before, according to data compiled by the Washington-based Brookings Institution.
The Pentagon says the United States lost 313 troops last year, down from 414 the year before.

keynesians blame no jobs on supply side economics
supply siders blame no jobs on keynesians
here's the truth:
the gov't doesn't create jobs. what happened in 2008 is way larger than Keynes and Milton Friedman or R vs D. it was a bust of multi-decade proportion and saying it's Bush's recession or it's Obama's recession is vast oversimplification.
each side is scrambling to blame each other but don't forget it was a team of republicans lead by Paulson/Bush that installed the Keynesian bailout, because it was literally the only tool they had left in their tool box.
blaming the politicians for the economy is like blaming the head coach for the performance of his players. Coaches require talent, Presidents require economic fundamentals, they can't just create these things out of thin air.

War and Peace
During the Second World War, NFB documentaries informed and inspired Canadians and audiences around the world. These documentaries offer a unique vantage point on the wartime experience at home and on the front.
1944, Director: James Beveridge
1 min 30 s
Questions 1. This film documents a turning point in the war: the landing at Normandy. It is different from the other NFB World War II documentaries in this collection because it reports a specific event, as a newsreel would. Do you notice differences in the way information is presented, compared to Inside Fighting Canada, for instance?
Short Description
In 1944 Allied troops land at Normandy and drive eastward. Scenes of the D-Day landings, of bitter street fighting and of precision bombing tell the story of the drive to the gates of Germany.

(1) What led you to create TTFB? Tell us about your background and your connection to America's Greatest Game.
I love baseball with a passion. I seem to never get enough of it and baseball revolves around me 24/7. I played baseball from age 7 to I graduated from college, so I've been around it for the better part of my life.
(2) There are a plethora of baseball websites--how do you get noticed? How will you draw people to TTFB?
We have some unique aspects on TTFB. For starters, one of our staff writers is playing in minor league ball for the Toronto Blue Jays. He's writing about his baseball experiences and what its like to play ball in the minors. It's interesting and he draws a lot of traffic. We also have around 20 other writers that are from across the nation that offer a different perspective on teams. We have everything covered from minor league baseball all the way to history.
(3) There is a lot of good baseball writing on the internet and most of it is free. Is this sustainable? How do you see the landscape of baseball writing evolving for both amateurs (bloggers and whatnot) and professionals (beat reporters, mlb.com staff, etc.)? What will TTFB be like in two years? What does the future of baseball writing look like?
You know, I get that question all the time, and you would think I could come up with a fresh answer. Personally, I don't think it would change much in two years. It's the internet, anything can happen though.
(4) If asked at a party--what do you say? Are you a blogger . . . web developer . . . journalist . . . entrepreneur . . . crazy fan . . . ??
Crazy Fan!
(5) What are you looking forward to this MLB season? Is there a club, a player, or a baseball personality that you want to hear more about? What would be your dream 2011 story and why?
Well, I'm a Braves fan. But I'm most looking forward to the season because I'm eager to see our site bloom! My dream story would obviously be the Braves winning the world series while I'm there.
Thanks, Jamie! Here's wishing you well on your new venture. And I can say from personal experience that writing every day about your favorite team winning the World Series is indeed a "dream" come true. I would like to be gracious and wish the Braves "good luck" but I have a feeling the Giants will be playing them in the playoffs again this season. So, my friends, be sure to check out TTFB!

Case in point: A major UConn benefactor wants the $3 million he donated to the school returned and his family's name removed from the school's football complex because - wait for it - they shut him out of the discussions regarding the selection of the new football coach.
|See that football you're holding? Should've bought
one of those teams if you wanted a say about coaches
According to the USA TODAY article linked above, "Robert
Burton called the situation "a slap in the face and embarrassment to my family," and said he planned "to let the correct people know that you did not listen to your number one football donor." He called the search process flawed.
Actually, the embarrassment is Mr. Burton's behavior. Get over yourself, jackhole. As reader "Small Axe" said in the comment section of USA TODAY, "It's not an investment. He's not buying shares of stock. He's not a partial owner of a franchise. It's a donation to a state school. How egotistical, arrogant, entitled, and disgusting."
In a statement, the school said "In the end, the decision was appropriately made by the university in the best interests of UConn and our football program,"
Exactly. Although it apparently came as a shock to Mr. Burton that the decision wasn't made in his best interests. Because there's more in the USA TODAY article:
Burton, a printing industry executive, and his family have given more than $7 million in donations for scholarships and other programs, including $2.5 million in 2002 to kick off construction of the football complex.
That's over, according to Burton's letter. And, he blames the athletic director, saying he is "fed up" with Hathaway and would have fired him long ago, if he'd had the authority.
Burton says his family and friends will no longer donate for scholarships and coaching clinics, will pull their advertising from the football program and will transfer current scholarships away from football and into the business school.
It couldn't immediately be determined Tuesday how many football players that would affect and whether other scholarship money would be available.
Burton said his company will also start sending its managers to Syracuse University's business school for training instead of UConn, and will no longer pay for its $50,000-per-year luxury suite at Rentschler Field.
"You already have many other empty boxes at Rentschler. My box will just join the list," Burton wrote.
Naturally, Mr. I Have Money So That Means I'm More Important Than Everybody Else is suing UConn to get his
I hope UConn does take his name off the building, but keeps the money.

Thankfully my friends stopped working there before all this started..
So, it's just the evil geniuses who are left?
I think it's a quibble to say that politics haven't played a role in the nomination and confirmations of Negroponte and McConnell, among others.
Neither of those are working at NSA in any capacity. Negroponte is the Deputy Secretary of State and before that he was the Director of National Intelligence. Neither position is in the National Security Agency. Mike McConnell is the current Director of National Intelligence, having previously served as the Director of the NSA having been appointed as such by the Department of Defense like any other flag command position in the military commanded by a general or admiral. But that still doesn't make anyone
Dood, in the case in which you haven't been paying attention - and by your remarks that would appear to be the case - NSA has (along with CIA, DIA, CIFA, DTO, etc., etc., etc.) outsourced many, far too many of its intel functions, thanks in part to the Bush administration - although it started back in the Clinton era. So, its fundamentally a moot
They aren't a DOD agency in the normal sense. They have a flag officer, but they are outside of DOD for all intents and purposes. The DOD already has a joint network protection group (JTF-GNO) and they are monitoring and protecting their networks across the three branches fairly well now. NSA provides input and expertise, but they aren't doing any of the actual work. The agency that is supposed to be doing this is DISA, but their too screwed up to do anything but manage the telco stuff (and poorly at t

The DOD already has a joint network protection group (JTF-GNO) and they are monitoring and protecting their networks across the three branches fairly well now. NSA provides input and expertise, but they aren't doing any of the actual work.
Wow, someone should really tell that to the half of the NSA in the Information Assurance Directorate [nsa.gov], not to mention the military units that
more and more appears that the goal of the present administration is to produce a kingly executive.
"If you're looking for needles in the haystack, you need as much data as you can get because these are really tiny needles, and bad guys are trying to hide the needles."
So what this fascist stooge is saying translates thusly: "When trying to find a needle in a haystack, what you really need is to gather all of the hay in the world into one pile. There's probably some needles in there!"
That's one possible interpretation. The other is that since it's practically infeasible for a human to manually sort through a haystack, you need additional information not provided by the haystack itself. Such as if you had eyewitness reports or video footage of the needle-hider placing the needle inside, you could narrow down the search space considerably. You're right that additional haystacks will only make the job harder, but that seems to be an uncharitable characterization (though perhaps true...
This is a context thing. Whenever "cybercrime" or "cyberterrorism" is the topic, Paller is unearthed as the rational technology expert - rationailising the unpalatable and invasive loss of liberty that these grave threats require.
You don't see Bruce quoted by the WaPo or WSJ.
Perhaps it's true that Paller gets called in for the evil terrorism angle on security issues... creating a crisis sells papers, after all. However, your last point appears to be in error:
6 results for "Bruce Schneier" [google.com] on wsj.com.
3 results for "Alan Paller" [google.com] on wsj.com.
169 results for "Bruce Schneier" [google.com] on washingtonpost.com.
96 results for "Alan Paller" [google.com] on washingtonpost.com.
P.S. How do you really find a needle in a haystack? With a match.
Or, assuming a Ferrous needle, a magnet.
It's definitely a strange argument to attempt when really what you need when searching for a needle in a haystack, is a method of needle location that IGNORES THE HAY, not cataloging each and every instance of !needle.
If one is searching for needles amongst haystacks, trying to control the size of the haystack or the number of haystacks seems rather....absurd.... Then the needles that don't want to be found now know exactly which pile to stay out of, even more so tha
No, good security and by extension proper log management is rather like finding a needle, in a stack of needles.

This is basically about internal U.S. Government computer security. The problem is that the last three agencies assigned this task blew it. Early on, computer security was under NIST, which is really the old National Bureau of Standards. They were just an advisory agency on this. There was also an NSA effort, about which more later.
There's a National Cyber Security Division of Homeland Security. When it was set up, it was headed by Amit Yoran, who actually knew something about the subject. He was unpopular because he publicly mentioned the vulnerabilities of Microsoft operating systems as the biggest single problem. So he was replaced by Gregory Garcia, a lawyer and 3COM's lobbyist in Washington, who has accomplished little, if anything.
The General Services Administration, which handles public buildings and purchasing for most of the U.S. Government, has a role in computer security, but they haven't accomplished much. other than some vendor evaluation.
NSA first got into computer security in the 1980s, when I had some dealings with them. They had an institutional problem. First, it wasn't about the USSR, on which NSA used to be narrowly focused. Second, the computer security effort was located at the "Friendship Annex", which was NSA's lower-security facility near Friendship Airport (now BWI). FANX was where NSA's less important stuff was done - personnel, accounting, etc. Being assigned to FANX was a big career step down within NSA.
NSA went at computer security in the same way they went at safes and locks - you build it, they break it. NSA policy on evaluating the security of computer products was that the vendor got two tries. On try one, NSA told the vendor what was wrong. Try two was pass/fail - if they could break it, it flunked, and went on the rejected list. Vendors hated this.
Under heavy pressure from vendors, security evaluation was outsourced to third party companies, and vendors could retry forever until they wore down the evaluators. The higher levels of security (fully verified everything) were dropped from the evaluation criteria.
NSA Secure Linux was a good idea that didn't really catch on. Most Linux people don't get the point of NSA Secure Linux. It's not about making Linux more secure. It's about getting applications rewritten to work under a tight security model. Unless applications are rewritten to have only very small and heavily verified trusted parts, NSA Secure Linux doesn't help much.

With Nicholls State University set to remove remedial classes by 2014, local high schools and community colleges are preparing ways to help students who might be affected.
With Nicholls State University set to remove remedial classes by 2014, local high schools and community colleges are preparing ways to help students who might be affected.
The school offers classes to help students who lag in certain basic subjects taught in high school, such as math or English. But the University of Louisiana System, which includes Nicholls, implemented a rule that all schools eliminate those classes by 2014.
Some schools have already cut such classes — the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, for example, got rid of the classes this year.
Nicholls Executive Vice President Larry Howell said the move is just one part of a series of changes designed to bump up graduation rates, something state leaders have strongly pushed for over the past few years.
The 2010 LA GRAD Act, for example, allows universities to raise tuition only if they meet certain performance goals, which include graduation rates.
To meet those goals, Nicholls has steadily increased its entry requirements over the past few years. Since first implementing admissions standards in 2005, the school has gradually required better grade point averages and more rigorous high school classes.
Increasing standards means some students won't be able to start at Nicholls right away. But the school has already arranged with Fletcher Technical Community College to create a Fletcher at Nicholls program to pick up some of that slack.
Fletcher Chancellor Travis Lavigne said the program puts Fletcher teachers on the Nicholls campus to teach remedial classes.
"If you have a student who just needs one class of remedial credit, they can get it right there on campus," Lavigne said. "We've set it up so that it's as convenient as possible."
Besides the Fletcher at Nicholls program, the two schools have spent the past few years making it easier for students to transfer credits.
"If there's a student who wants to work their way up to a degree at Nicholls but needs some work to get there, we want to serve that kind of student," Lavigne said. "We would encourage them to come to Fletcher, take some remedial classes and some other courses. And then, once they're prepared to go to Nicholls, they can do the transfer."
The cooperation between Fletcher and Nicholls has earned high praise from state officials, from Gov. Bobby Jindal to Superintendent of Education John White. Terrebonne Parish School Superintendent Philip Martin echoed that praise.
"Those two schools have, in my opinion, the best relationship in the state," Martin said. "I think that's a huge advantage for our students."
Martin said the arrangement is good for students because it gives them more flexibility and opportunities. But he said school counselors and teachers are going to have to work with students to make sure they're making the right decision.
"You have to really sit down and think about what's best for each student," Martin said. "If there's a student who maybe didn't do everything they had to do a few years ago but really wants to buckle down and do the work right now, you have to really sit down and think about whether it might be a good idea for them to start at Fletcher and ease into it."
Some parents and students said they wish Nicholls would keep its remedial courses.
"That will mean the loss of a few future students, I'm sure, and it alienates the non-traditional/older people wanting to go to college," wrote Debbie Tabor-Gros on Facebook. "Switching schools is such a hassle."
Others say they like the new set-up.
"I think it's a great idea. Going to community college to settle prerequisites for university is the basic structure for most higher education institutions around the country," wrote Julie Ledet. "I think it will greatly improve the level of education at NSU if we keep standards for higher education rather than teaching at the level of our least advanced student."

Rogers back for 2013 with new partner
At the end of 2012, Rogers, 39, dissolved his partnership with Phil Dalhausser after seven years. The pair had competed in two Olympic Games, winning the gold medal in 2008. They had also won the 2007 FIVB World Championship and the 2010 FIVB World Tour Championship, along with numerous international and domestic titles.
Doherty, 28, pursued a career as a professional baseball pitcher until 2007, when he was released from the Arizona Diamondbacks farm system. He moved in with a friend in North Carolina and started playing beach volleyball. With the advantage of standing about 2.15 metres tall, he found success and moved to Southern California to pursue the sport full time.
Dalhausser will be playing with two-time Olympian Sean Rosenthal in 2013.

Pest Report – September 13, 2013
Compiled by Eric Sideman, PhD, MOFGA's Organic Crop Specialist
COMMON GROUND FAIR – I will be at the Common Ground Fair next weekend, and all three days I will host a question and answer session about pests and other growing issues. Mark Hutton (vegetable specialist with the University of Maine) will join me. We have been doing it together for quite a few years now and it has become quite a lively time. We hope to see you there. It will happen Friday, Saturday and Sunday (September 20, 21 and 23) at 10:00 in the MOFGA Tent.
- Adapted by R. Hazzard from the New England Vegetable Management Guide, nevegetable.org; articles by Becky Sideman, UNH Cooperative Extension; wireworm information from J. Capinera Handbook of Vegetable Pests. Modified a bit by me.
Becky Sideman's fact sheet on Growing Sweet Potatoes can be found at
Sweet potato acreage is steadily increasing in New England as it becomes clear that this crop can yield well, store well, and has a strong market. Sweet potato harvest and storage needs differ from other common New England root crops. Once harvest is completed – generally by early to mid-October – curing and storage issues continue to be important.
Sweet potato roots continue to grow until the leaves are killed by frost or until soil temperatures fall consistently below 65°F, whichever comes first. Time of harvest is often determined by digging up a few representative plants and determining the percentage of roots in different size classes. When tops of the plants turn black after the first frost, it is imperative to harvest as quickly as possible regardless of root size.
Sweet potatoes are very susceptible to damage at harvest. Sweet potato roots do not have a thick protective outer layer of cells such as that on white potato tubers. Abrasions and wounds can lead to rots in storage.
A freshly harvested sweet potato is more starchy than it is sweet. During curing and storage, starches in the sweet potato are converted to sugars, improving flavor. It is recommended to wait at least three weeks after harvest before consuming sweet potatoes (or selling without guidance to the customer to wait) to permit the starches to convert to sugars for maximum eating quality.
Curing immediately after harvest is recommended especially when sweet potatoes will be held in storage for retail or wholesale sales. Curing minimizes damage and loss during storage by healing harvest wounds. To cure, maintain roots in temperatures between 80°F to 86°F and a high relative humidity (85-95% RH) for 4 to 7 days. This forms a corky periderm layer below the damaged areas which limits microbial invasion and water loss. A greenhouse can provide good curing conditions, as long as the greenhouse does not get too cold at night. Sweet potatoes suffer when the temperature drops below 55 F.
Sweet potatoes can maintain excellent quality for up to a year in proper storage conditions. [Actually, Becky and I have eaten sweet potatoes nearly two years old and they seem fine.] The ideal storage conditions for sweet potato are the same as for winter squash; moderately warm (55-60F) at 60-75% relative humidity. Like winter squash, sweet potato suffers chilling injury at temperatures below 55 F. Signs of chilling injury include sunken, dark areas on the tuber surface, and blackening of tubers when cut open.
Yield studies were conducted for several years by Becky Sideman at University of New Hampshire. Best yields were found in Beauregard, Covington and O'Henry (a white-fleshed variety). A good yield was 2.5 lbs per plant, equivalent to >100 lbs per 20 row-feet.
Tuber damage from wireworms can occur during the growing season and reduce marketability. More work needs to be done to understand which species is causing the damage, but likely candidates are Corn wireworm (Malanotus communis) or wheat wireworm (Agriotis mancus). Both feed on roots, stems, stolons and tubers and are pests of potato, sweet potato, other non-root vegetables crops, and grains such as wheat and oat as well as sod and grassy cover crops such as Sudangrass. Adults are most active in spring (April-June). Eggs are laid in soil and larvae feed and develop for 2, 3 or 4 years. They can survive periods without food – essentially waiting for new crops to come along. Corn wireworm adults may be especially attracted to grassy cover crops such as Sudan, thus keeping fields free of those during peak egg laying is advisable. It is difficult to trace the history and cause of wireworm damage, because it often 2-4 years after eggs are laid before the damage becomes noticeable or serious. Damage is likely to be worst when larvae are nearly full grown. There are baiting methods to sample for larvae before planting. Corn wireworm larvae are also favored by wet soil conditions thus damage may be heavier in wet areas.
Voles love sweet potatoes and can take up residence in the sweet potato field, causing significant damage. Timely harvest may reduce the level of damage. Watch storage for vole activity after harvest.

U.S. corn production is rebounding the most in two decades as farms recover from last year's drought-plagued harvest. Hedge funds are bearish on prices for the first time since 2010.
Output this year will jump 30% to a record 13.983 billion bushels (355.2 million metric tons), according to the average of 20 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That will add enough grain to supply the 28-nation European Union and Japan for a year and more than double U.S. inventories before the harvest in 2014. Futures (CBOT:CU13) will drop 9% to $4.75 a bushel in three months, the lowest since October 2010, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates.
Farmers planted the most acres since 1936 this season as some Midwest fields got three times their normal rainfall, including a record soaking in Iowa, the top growing state. Corn tumbled 18% in the cash market from the peak during last year's drought, reducing costs for buyers including Archer- Daniels-Midland Co. and JBS SA and helping drive global food prices lower in six of the past nine months.
"The crop is going to be big," said Hal Reed, the chief operating officer at Maumee, Ohio-based Andersons Inc., which owns terminals in seven states capable of storing 145 million bushels and produces 350 million gallons of ethanol from corn annually. "Conditions are looking very good right now. We will have lots of bushels to merchandise, more bushels to store, and cheaper corn for ethanol."
U.S. Harvest
Futures for delivery in December, after the harvest, fell 13% to $5.22 this year on the Chicago Board of Trade. The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities slipped 0.5% since the end of December, while the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities rose 8%. Treasuries lost 3.3%, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
U.S. stockpiles on Sept. 30, 2014, will reach 1.895 billion bushels, from 715 million a year earlier, the analyst estimates show. The U.S. Department of Agriculture updates its forecasts today at noon in Washington.
Hedge funds turned bearish last week for the first time since April 2010, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. The net-short position reached 19,943 futures and options, the most since February 2009. Speculators were net-long 98,380 contracts as recently as May 28.
"We don't see demand keeping up with the increase in supply," said Chris Gadd, an analyst at Macquarie Group Ltd. in London who anticipates $4.50 or less before the end of the year. "Once you build that surplus, you have to sell it, and the only way to sell it is to sell it cheap."

Lindenwood University's Historic Daniel Boone Home and Heritage Center has been named the recipient of a grant from the Missouri Secretary of State's Historical Records and Grant Program (MHRGP). The University will use the funds to purchase supplies for the preservation of several historical documents.
Lindenwood applied for the grant specifically for the Boone Home's Curlee family photograph and USS Daniel Boone collections. The archival projects are being overseen by graduate students Victoria Barton and Grant Briscoe.
The photograph collection was amassed by members of the Curlee family, who owned the land from the mid-1920s to about 1960 and was largely responsible for the initial salvation and early restoration of the property. The USS Daniel Boone is a decommissioned nuclear powered fleet ballistic submarine that served the United States Navy from 1964 to 1994. The Boone Home is archiving artifacts from the vessel as well as collecting oral histories from the submariners who served aboard it.
"Receiving this grant has double benefits for us," said David Knotts, PhD, Dean of the Lindenwood School of American Studies. "Not only are we able to save these important historical pieces for future generations but our students are also gaining valuable experiences along the way. They're involved in everything from the grant application process to oral history training, and these funds help ensure those opportunities remain available."
Lindenwood is among 17 historical records repositories in the state to be awarded funding through the MHRGP, a competitive program overseen by the Missouri State Archives, which is a division of Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander's office. Grant recipients have approximately one year to complete their work and provide a report of the results.

THESE days, Kathryn Bigelow ranks as an A-list Hollywood director. After the Oscar triumph of The Hurt Locker, she's back in the headlines with her docudrama Zero Dark Thirty which has come under scrutiny (quite rightly) for its portrayal of torture as a crucial investigative tool in the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
By this point, long-term Bigelow fans might well be wondering what happened to the director they used to know - the one who made films about hillbilly vampires, or FBI agents infiltrating the world of surfing.
To be sure, Bigelow has reinvented herself more than once. There's a world of difference between her first feature, the artsy biker movie The Loveless, and the futuristic blockbuster Strange Days, a sprawling comment on the Rodney King riots that remains her most ambitious artistic and commercial failure.
If there's a persistent ''Bigelow touch'', it might be defined as an oscillation between realism and romance: between sequences that convey frantic, messy physical experience and those that lend the characters - often backlit and moving in slow motion - the quality of myth.
But themes as well as stylistic traits recur across Bigelow's career. Most obviously she makes films about adrenalin junkies: the vampires in Near Dark (who closely resemble actual junkies), the serial killer played by Ron Silver in Blue Steel, the surfers turned bank robbers in Point Break, and the bomb disposal experts in The Hurt Locker, who find themselves at a loss back in the civilian world.
Likewise, the premise of a crime investigation links Zero Dark Thirty with Blue Steel, Point Break, Strange Days and even Bigelow's ill-fated arthouse venture The Weight of Water, all thrillers that trade on the blurring of moral lines.
Maya (Jessica Chastain), the CIA investigator in Zero Dark Thirty, bears an obvious resemblance to Megan (Jamie Lee Curtis), the cop heroine of Blue Steel: two pale, slim women with high cheekbones, vulnerable yet implacable. Both are initially portrayed as rookies bent on becoming full-fledged insiders, as well as women occupying traditionally male roles.
From a different point of view, Maya has some affinity with Lenny (Ralph Fiennes) the anti-hero of Strange Days: a kind of futuristic drug dealer who peddles virtual reality recordings of extreme experiences, from armed robbery to kinky sex.
Lenny is more voyeur than participant, and the same could be said of Maya: a bit like a film director, her job consists of monitoring her targets from a distance, and advising others on when to take action. Yet there's no doubt that both characters are complicit in dark deeds.
While arguments continue over whether Zero Dark Thirty defends or condemns torture, Bigelow's filmography suggests that there's no simple answer. Rather, she accepts the fact of moral ambiguity - and acknowledges that as a filmmaker she shares in the thrill this ambiguity creates.
The idea is summed up in a line from Near Dark, a superbly tense and atmospheric B-movie that might still be her best work: ''The night has its price.''
Zero Dark Thirty is in cinemas from January 31.

Has Your Great Great-Grandfather Been Born Yet?
Has your great great-grandfather been born yet? If he hasn't, he's not your great great-grandfather! This might seem like a silly question. But when it comes to the claimed evolutionary fossil evidence for man's evolution, our claimed great great-grandfather has turned up in the wrong period of history. A re-dating of Homo erectus fossil skulls discovered in 1931 and 1933 has placed these supposed "human evolutionary ancestors" squarely in human history. This dating is supported by the geological setting in which they were found. In fact, two excavation sites right next to each other together yielded both modern human and Homo erectus remains!
The most likely age for the Homo erectus remains were 27,000 years before the present. You must remember that these are years according to the evolutionary interpretation. But what it means is that Homo erectus and humans like us lived at the same time. This is so troubling to scientists who believe in evolution that they tried several tactics to avoid the problem. First, they argued that the human fossils were not in the same geological layer as the Homo erectus remains. But photographs contradict this claim. Then, they argued that the human remains must have washed into the area from higher ground. But the good condition of the human remains and related bones rules this out.
In other words, Homo erectus offers no support for human evolution, and another attempt to contradict God's Word about our special creation falls apart!

- Italy 2-2 Uruguay, Confederations Cup
Italy claim third spot on penalties
Gianluigi Buffon was Italy's hero as his three penalty saves in the shootout saw the Azzurri to victory and a third-place finish in the Confederations Cup, at the expense of Uruguay.
The two sides drew 2-2 after 120 minutes with Italy creating the majority of the chances. Davide Astori put the Italians ahead after 25 minutes before Edinson Cavani levelled the scores after the interval.
Alessandro Diamanti restored the Italians' lead after 73 minutes, before Cavani netted again to make the score 2-2 and take the game into extra-time, where Riccardo Montolivo saw red after picking up two bookings.
Then Buffon came into his own, saving from Diego Forlan, Martin Caceres and Walter Gargano to win the game for Italy.
Uruguay started the game strongly and Forlan was the first to test either stopper, with his dipping free kick forcing Buffon to dive low.
A free-flowing move from Italy culminated with a scuffed shot from Antonio Candreva after 15 minutes before the Italians went ahead eight minutes later.
A Diamanti free-kick ricocheted off the post and onto Uruguay stopper Fernando Muslera, with the ball falling to Astori, who from a yard out, tapped home.
Luis Suarez got in behind the Italian backline before hitting a rasping shot which tested Buffon just before the half hour mark, before Maxi Pereira forced a decent stop from the Juventus man before the break.
The pressure told 12 minutes after the restart when a well-weighted pass from Alvaro Gonzalez found an unmarked Cavani who slotted into the far corner past Buffon's outstretched left hand.
Diamanti restored Italy's lead with 17 minutes left with a wonderful 25 yard free-kick which gave Muslera no chance.
It was feat replicated by Cavani three minutes later as his powerful effort was too much for Buffon, who could not get his feet moving to get across in time to keep the Napoli striker's effort out.
Italy had to play the final 10 minutes of extra-time with 10 men following Montolivo's second yellow for a late challenge on Suarez, but Uruguay could not get past Buffon.
And Forlan could not do so with his spot kick, while Alberto Aquilani, Cavani, Stephan El Shaarawy, Suarez all scored before Mattia De Sciglio's miss brought the South Americans back into the shootout.
However Caceres missed and Emanuele Giaccherini scored before Buffon saved Gargano's effort.

DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit woman charged with fatally stabbing her daughter will undergo a second exam after an expert found her incompetent to stand trial.
A judge granted a request Wednesday for an additional mental health exam. Prosecutors were dissatisfied with the work of the state Center for Forensic Psychiatry.
Semeria Greene is accused of killing her 8-year-old daughter in December, about five weeks after court officials turned down a request by the state to remove Tameria and her siblings from their home.
The girl's 4-year-old brother told authorities that he witnessed Tameria being stabbed.
The Michigan Department of Human Services is investigating how its caseworkers responded to allegations of abuse.

Many times parties to a real estate contract are confused about what their responsibilities are. The specific language incorporated within the four corners of the contract is what prevails. In that respect, every section delineates either the buyers' or the sellers' obligations, and when certain things must be performed and concluded.
Over the years the Florida Association of Realtors and the Florida Bar Association have collaborated in developing and revising real estate contracts to better fulfill the needs of consumers and Realtors alike resulting from dynamic market changes and the way we do real estate business.
A real estate purchase agreement is very straight forward, and there really should not be any major issues associated with the contract itself. The real questions appear when someone cannot or does not perform within the time constraints specified in the contract. For example, what happens when the buyers' lender inserts a document in the multi-page loan package that contains language that the buyers are not comfortable signing? Assuming the buyers/borrowers had provided truthful information during the course of applying for their loan, this last minute loan issue can in fact, delay closing.
This begs the question, "Who then becomes responsible for costs incurred from the original contractual closing date to the new closing date?" The simple answer is that the sellers would continue to be responsible for any and all ownership costs (taxes, interest on existing loans) until the property closes. However, delays in closing can create a hardship for the sellers, particularly when the sellers have performed exactly as the contract stated, and all that is left to do is close the transaction. This is when the seller's agent could negotiate an addendum to the contract where the buyers/borrowers would incur the costs of ownership until the new day of closing.
Consequently, parties to the purchase contract include only the buyers and sellers, more accurately described as the vendees and vendors, not the real estate agents. The parties are sometimes quick to blame their agents for any delays that may occur, when in most cases, delays occur due to some non-performance, or situation that the agents have no control over. The agents want to close transactions as much as the parties to the contract. And to look to the agents for recompense is ludicrous especially when the agents have done everything within the scope of their duties.
All real estate contracts contain "hidden" agenda. The hidden agenda is not intentional. It is inherent in the letting go of, in many cases, years of commitment - commitment to family, commitment to communal common issues. Heightened emotions prevail in parentheses in all of the pragmatics of the contract. In order to deal with all of these variables, one must choose, and choose very carefully, a professional agent who can sort through not only the binding contractual issues within the four corners of the document, but address in a professionally empathetic manner, the unspoken dynamics placed between each and every paragraph of the binding agreement. A truly professional agent must be educationally, professionally and personally experienced enough to determine the issues, bring flexibility to the last-minute, negotiable changes, and be the balm that will insure that their customer walks away from the closing table, completely satisfied that their best interests have been loudly and clearly represented within the four corners of the document.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ty Lawson scored 23 points, reserve Nate Robinson added 15 and the Denver Nuggets held off the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-110 on Wednesday night.
Kenneth Faried added 13 points and had three alley-oop dunks as Denver won for the seventh time in nine games after a horrible start.
Kevin Martin scored 29 for Minnesota and Ricky Rubio added 17 points and 10 assists. Nikola Pekovic had 21 points and Kevin Love finished with 19. All five Minnesota starters scored in double figures.
Minnesota's bench was outscored 47-10 and was overmatched by Robinson and Denver's high-octane reserves.
Ignited by three 3-pointers from Robinson, the Nuggets built a 15-point lead early in the second quarter. Denver stayed hot and shot 63 percent in the first half, taking a 64-55 lead into the locker room.
The Wolves hung around by hitting free throws — Martin finished 11 of 11 from the line — and cut Denver's lead to three after Love's dunk with 3:41 to play in the third.
After Denver built its lead back up to 11 in the fourth, Love made a 3-pointer to cap a 10-0 run and pull the Wolves to within one with 3:58 to play.
But Minnesota couldn't come up with a defensive stop to finish the rally and allowed Denver to regain control after three straight dunks.
The Wolves wouldn't go away, though, and pulled within three after a dunk by Corey Brewer with 1:13 to play.
Love missed a 3 that would have tied it on Minnesota's next possession and Lawson swished four free throws in the final minute to beat the Wolves back one last time.
The Nuggets have won 23 of the team's last 27 meetings.
Minnesota didn't have any fast-break points in the first half, but came up with 15 during its second-half comeback.
Denver took advantage of Minnesota's 17 turnovers to score 25 points. The Nuggets also hit 8 of 16 3-point attempts.
The Nuggets' 117 points tied a season high set in their win over Minnesota on Nov. 15.
NOTES: Luc Mbah a Moute, acquired Tuesday for former No. 2 overall pick Derrick Williams, dressed but did not play for Minnesota. … Denver's 64 points were its second-highest first-half total this season. … Denver has won 11 of the last 13 at Target Center.

(MCT) — DETROIT — On a bad right ankle Matt Forte got his biggest workload of the season Sunday, carrying 24 times for 103 yards as the Bears tapped into a running game that sometimes has been missing.
It was the third 100-yard game this season for Forte, who finished with 1,094 yards, his third 1,000-yard season. He scored on a 1-yard run in the second quarter as the Bears opened a 20-10 halftime lead, and he helped seal the game with a powerful 13-yard run with 2:38 remaining as he dragged defensive end Cliff Avril to pick up a first down and allow the Bears to run out the clock.
Forte left last week's victory at Arizona with a sprained ankle, the third time he has injured the same ankle this season. He went through a process he's familiar with to aid recovery, including acupuncture-like treatment with needles in his Achilles tendon and ankle.
This was just the sixth game Forte reached 20 carries. He missed one game because of the initial ankle injury in Week 2 and had three games that he left early. But what is interesting is he had only eight 20-carry games in 2010 and 2011 combined, a big departure from the Ron Turner era when the offense pounded Forte, giving him 18- to 20-carry games in 2008 and 2009.
Like any good running back, he invites an increased workload and proved capable of playing through injuries. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry for the season, not quite the lofty 4.9 figure he had a year ago.
No handshakes: Pro Bowl defensive tackle Henry Melton didn't shake hands with the Lions' Dominic Raiola and also didn't come bearing gifts for the center's 34th birthday.
"Just a few bull rushes," Melton said.
Melton instigated a war of words during the week and said the two said little to each other during the game.
"We started off a little hot on them," Melton said. "There wasn't much said. Can't really say much when you're losing. It was just fun. If you're gonna say something, you gotta back it up. I think we did that today."
Firing line: While there has been ample speculation about the future of Bears coach Lovie Smith in what was a 10-win season, Lions coach Jim Schwartz was asked about his own future after the Lions finished 4-12 by losing their final eight and going 0-6 in the NFC North.
Schwartz, who signed a contract extension through 2015 before the season, was cryptic in his reply.
"I'm only concerned with getting this team back," he said.
The Lions are 14-52 in the NFC North since the division was formed in 2002.
Extra points: Tight end Matt Spaeth left the game in the third quarter with a concussion. ... The defense finished with 41 sacks, tying for the most under Smith. ... The Bears' schedule for the 2013 regular season has been determined. Along with the traditional home/away games against NFC North foes, the Bears will have games at Soldier Field versus the Cowboys, Giants, Ravens, Bengals and Saints. They will have road games at the Eagles, Redskins, Browns, Steelers and Rams. ... The Bears are expected to have the 20th overall pick in the NFL draft. They have the best record of all non-playoff teams.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The stepbrother of an autistic Mazomanie man who had been missing since June has been charged with killing him and burying his body.
At a news conference Tuesday, Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney said Matthew Graville was tortured and abused by his stepbrother who killed him, froze his body in a freezer and then buried it near Mazomanie last July.
Twenty-eight-year-old Jeffrey Vogelsberg is charged with first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse. The sheriff said the 27-year-old Graville lived with his stepbrother in Mazomanie before Vogelsberg moved to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington with his wife, who's in the Army.
The State Journal says sheriff's officials are also holding a relative who's accused of stealing from Graville's bank accounts. A third person is suspected of helping Vogelsberg hide the victim's body.

Re: 4th C/S...Longer Recovery Time Normal?
I've only had one, and what you just described was still happening to me at 3 weeks pp. I wasn't up and around enough to care for myself and my newborn until 4 weeks, my mom had planned to stay for two and ended up needing to stay 4. Even at 4 weeks I was still taking OTC meds to sleep and had to be careful not to over do it. So if it happened to me on number one I'm sure it would makes sense with number 4 too.

Re: 4th C/S...Longer Recovery Time Normal?
For me, it was. For all the mentioned reasons, in particular not having help. My dh went back to work 2wks after my c/s, and since it was spring I still had to schlepp three kids back and forth to school all day long and do everything else besides. I didn't have the help and honestly it felt like everyone thought well she's done this before, she's tough and can "deal". I was in my 20's when I had the other three and yes, at least for me the age made a difference plus all the weight I had put on between. My scarring wasn't as bad as it could have been but my incision didn't heal as rapidly as the prior ones and I'm not sure if that was because of the scarring or because I was constantly putting so much pressure on it standing and doing everything. My baby wanted/needed to be carried/wrapped all day long and he wasn't a lightweight. LOL
Do skip the infant seat if you can, you're not supposed to be carrying it anyway. Nothing heavier than the baby until your first pp checkup. Use a soft carrier if you need to go into a store or something. Baby will sleep longer in one too. Find a good back/belly support. It will do wonders for the pain and posture. It takes a while to stop feeling that clicky hip, noodle muscle feeling in your torso. I had a moby wrap that I used most often with ds and it was comforting to wrap the tails around my tummy a couple times for extra support if anything. It will get better, with my first 3 c/s's I felt more normal around week4-5 but with this last one it was more like week 8.

This time we put LiteOn's latest 8X External Slim DVD Writer to the test. This LiteOn eTAU108 is compact and fancy drive supports most CD and DVD media formats currently available. It is powered via the USB interface, so there is no need for extra AC adapters. Although this drive is not one of the fastest externals that you can find, its ultra slim coating and low weight, along with its capability to be powered from the USB make it a good recommendation for those that do not have a drive on their laptop and definitely need one.
Writing speeds of the eTAU108 are 8X for DVD±R and DVD+RW, 6X for DVD±R DL and DVD-RW, 5X for DVD-RAM and 24X for CD-R(W). Reading speeds are 8X for DVD-ROM and 24X for CD-ROM.
- Drive Specifications
-The Retail Box
The Package contains the following items:
-The Drive
Slim and stylish, the drive has a simplistic design that is usually welcomed by the office users as well by all those who may use it on the go. The drive has a top-loader design and round corners and it is available in a black and a white version. And with less than 350 grams, this lightweight device fits easily in any small (notebook) bag.
A green LED and the open button are located at the top side of the drive.
The rear rounded side of the drive includes the USB 2.0 port.
The USB cable can be conveniently stored at the bottom of the drive.
Our test sample was manufactured in October 2009 in China.
- Installation
The drive was identified under Windows XP as "Slimtype eTAU108 ", firmware version EL04. Below you can see a summary of its specifications and features, as they are reported by the Opti Drive Control utility:
Let's move on to the benchmarks with the LiteOn eTAU108 burner. For comparison, we have included the results of two other slim-type DVD burners, the Sony DRX-S70U-W and the LiteOn eSAU208.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The government is issuing new unemployment data that is expected to underscore the slow economic recovery and ensure that jobs remain the top issue of the presidential campaign. The data comes just a month before the election as President Barack Obama seeks to slow a newly invigorated rival.
Friday's release of numbers reflecting September hiring and unemployment follows a presidential debate dominated by the economy. The debate boosted Republican challenger Mitt Romney and left Obama on the defensive.
Economists predict employers added 111,000 jobs last month, up from the 96,000 jobs added in August. The jobless rate is expected to inch up from 8.1 percent.
While the slow recovery has been a drag on Obama politically, the monthly jobless numbers have not markedly altered the trajectory of the presidential campaign.

LAUREL. MD. 02-26-09---In The Juice heads a cast of eight 3-year-olds scheduled to meet on Saturday in the $50,000 Miracle Wood Stakes at Laurel Park. The race is seven furlongs on the main track.
Jerry Robb trains In The Juice, the 5-2 morning line favorite, who last saw action in the Maryland Juvenile Championship, where he rallied to finish second, beaten only a half-length by promising Peace Town. The son of Rock Slide brings a lifetime mark of two wins in six starts and will carry Jeremy Rose. The Maryland-bred is one of two in the Miracle Wood nominated to the Triple Crown.
Rock On Justin (3-1) has won three of five starts including his last two. He romped by nine lengths at Laurel against optional/claimers and followed that with a smart score against allowance runners at Charles Town. Gary Capuano put a bullet work into his charge on February 21. Tony Maragh, who won the Laurel race, regains the mount.
The only stakes winner among this cast is St John's Gospel (9-2), who captured the Pennsylvania Nursery in December to break his maiden. He won a tough allowance test at Philly Park to finish 2008 and was a solid third in Laurel's Dancing Count Stakes in his most recent try. Hector Ramos will ride the son of Activist for trainer Andrea Gonzalez.
Triple Crown nominee Classic Wildcat (9-2) has a promising resume which includes a strong maiden win and a good second in two starts. Larry Murray trains the son of Forest Wildcat, who will continue to carry Luis Garcia.
Lucky Real Lucky (5-1) started his career beating $12,500 maiden claimers and was then claimed by owner Michael Gill for $25,000. In two allowance races since then, he's finished fourth at Philadelphia Park and first by 4-1/2 lengths at Penn National. Sylvester Carmouche will be his fifth rider in five races.
Adduce and Shipwreckstreasure (8-1) will race as an entry for trainer Russell Cash. Both have won races at Philadelphia Park. Adduce broke his maiden while Shipwreckstreasure beat allowance runners, including his stablemate, in a mile race on February 7. Harry Vega is named to ride both.
Lobo Del Norte (15-1) has a commendable two wins and a second in three starts. He was claimed from a $12,500 maiden race and then beat allowance runners. Julian Pimentel has the mount for trainer Ramon Preciado.
Four of the previous 13 winners of the race, Talk Is Money (2001), Water Cannon (2004), Malibu Moonshine (2005) and Sweetnorthernsaint (2006), competed in a Triple Crown race later in his three-year-old campaign.
Apprentice rider Jenna Joubert bruised her right collarbone after being tossed from a horse during training hours Wednesday morning at Laurel Park. The 24-year-old is expected to miss two weeks, according to her agent Frank Douglas.
"We got lucky because she thought it was broken," Douglas said.
Joubert has 24 victories at Laurel since arriving last September, including the John Campbell Handicap aboard Richard's Kid on February 14. The Minnesota native is scheduled to lose the weight allowance on March 10.

Hello, everyone!
My name is Nic, I'm taking Math 230 (Calculus 3) currently and it is not going well. Former math undergraduates have told me Calc 2 is the hardest.....I strongly disagree :(
So, here's where I'm at:
7. Find the length of the curve correct to four decimal places: r(t) = <t2, t3, t4>, 0<=t<=2
Where I'm at:
L = int(a to b){|r'(t)|}
x = t2 => 2t
y = t3 => 3t2
z = t4 => z' = 4t3
L = [(2t)2+(3t2)2+(4t3)2]0.5
L = [4t2+9t3+16t4]0.5
Now, I hit a wall. Can anyone assist?

A Memorial Day Subaru Adventure Like No Other
Posted 31 May 2008 - 02:40 AM
The first yard we stopped at. I called ahead, their english was kind of broken. But they said they had two subarus from the 70s. We found this gold brat and an XT, not exactly from the 70s. S'ko scored a couple of things from this car. It was mechanically complete and had the third eye too.
I picked up this modified EA71 from the nicest desert dude you've ever met. Gave $75 for it, and am currently in the process of tearing it down, trying to figure out if I got my money worth or not. I'm going to start another thread soon with pics from the tear down. Please check it out and let me know what you think!
We didn't realize so many yards would be closed, and there was more than one that we had to walk away from. But at this yard, we walked the perimeter and could see a Gen 1 inside. So what did we do? What would you do after driving all day to find soobs? :-\ Just to get a better look of course.
Wasn't much when we found her. She'd been shot and gutted.
Didn't spend too much time looking at her. We could hear the dogs on their way ! But I'll tell you, from what I saw she was rust free. If anyone is looking for a body to build on, this one has potential.
From the desert to the mountain. S'ko bought this SVX for parts I think. I am currently a 10% owner.
In short, this was a seriously great day! Wish I could do something like this every couple of months. Hope you liked the pics.

Just be smart about it for sure. Illegal but even more so the dogs I have seen in Junkyards before would make your worst fears come true.
Posted 01 June 2008 - 02:19 AM
Just be smart about it for sure. Illegal but even more so the dogs I have seen in Junkyards before would make your worst fears come true.
Yes I hear you Shawn. We we smart as possible and had no bad intentions. Just had to get a better look, I've personally never come across a gen 1 in a wrecking yard before. Just had to know if it would be worthwhile to come back. To tell you the truth, there were a few pieces I needed. But theft was not an option. Too many karmic consequences.
I will admit, we knew there were no dogs after walking the perimeter and making a little noise. However at one point, a couple of black birds cawwed, and it was startling enough to send us sprinting to the outback.

Is that in Kingman?
Posted 02 June 2008 - 01:50 PM
That junkyard looks REALLY familiar...
Is that in Kingman?
Yes I do believe so. Just outside Kingman. We stopped at many out there. Most closed. Could have been 'Dan's', but that was a long day. I may be wrong about that. You are from AZ? I used to live in Prescott about 8 years ago.
Posted 02 June 2008 - 03:51 PM
Sure looks like the Kingman junkyard to me... but there's like three in the area, so I'm not sure

I'm from Torrance, lived in Irvine for awhile, now I'm stuck out here in Bullhead City.
I'm sorry this is too funny, because I basically live in Torrance, work in Irvine, and I'm stuck out here for a while!!
Would much rather be in a small town, maybe not bullhead city. Well if you see any nice gen1's out in those desert wrecking yards, let me know. Things hold up very well out there.

With the annual Hell in a Cell now over, plenty of news has been coming out of the WWE involving the likes of Shawn Michaels, Kane and rumoured Survivor Series matches, so let's get to it.
Obviously, this article will contain a number of spoilers, if you wish to avoid them, please turn back now.
A HBK ring return?: If you guessed that Shawn Michael's involvement in the corporate storyline would eventually result in a potential match down the line, one; it would be a good guess and two; you would be wrong.
Although Shawn Michaels abused his powers at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, there are no plans whatsoever to have Michaels come out of retirement and wrestle in a match, no matter who the opponent is.
This would definitely be a good thing, the odd sporadic appearance from The Heart Break Kid is always nice to see, but competing again would definitely belittle his final match against The Undertaker which effectively 'ended his career'.
Heat on Ryback: Ryback's fortunes looked set to turn around, ever since his failed heel turn he has not been as relevant as he was billed up to be, but his recent alliance with one Paul Heyman could have changed that, but now there are reports that there is a lot of heat on Ryback for over a month now. His in-ring work has not been up to scratch, he looks lazier and it is felt that he is becoming a danger to guys he competes with, such as CM Punk who has been affected.
His recent media appearances have not been great either, as he acts like he does not want to be there, understandably he remains in character but it is his increasingly growing ego which officials cannot handle, so much so that Vince McMahon is considering taking Paul Heyman off of Ryback, so Heyman can work with a different wrestler.
WWE Pay-Per-View leaks continue: All wrestling fans must have heard of Dolphins1925, the infamous Reddit user who 'predicts' all match results and gets them right, as his source provides the leaks and he did a good job of getting the results right once more. He predicted every single match outcome correctly, making only one mistake.
He posted that Damien Sandow would cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase after John Cena defeats Alberto Del Rio, only for it not to happen. He stated that it was either misinformation from his source, or the fact that writers changed the decision to have Sandow cash it in.
Kane gives up the mask: If you tuned in to Monday Night Raw this past Monday you would have seen Kane handing his mask over to Stephanie McMahon, and later Tweeting that it 'was best for business'.
The reason for this is because Kane has just finished filming See No Evil 2, and he does not wear a mask in the film, so officials have opted to remove the mask from him, so we could be seeing Kane performing without the mask indefinitely.
Rumoured Survivor Series matches: With Hell in a Cell now over attentions now turn to Survivor Series, and already a number of matches have been rumoured to take place at the event.
A Tag Team Title match where Cody Rhodes and Goldust are set to defend their gold in a four-way tag match, with the likes of The SHIELD, The Real Americans and a fourth team involved, the safest bet at this stage will be The Usos. In the World Heavyweight Championship match, John Cena and Alberto Del Rio are set to have a rematch from Hell in a Cell.
The WWE Championship match will see Randy Orton defend the belt against The Big Show, and a four on four Survivor Series Tag Match could see Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and potentially Kane, taking on Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and perhaps The Miz and an additional partner.
Remember, these are only rumoured, matches can change at any given time.

WILMINGTON - The Slides were open to skiers and snowboarders on Monday at the Whiteface Mountain Ski Area in Wilmington.

Skiers and snowboarders head down the Wilmington Trail Thursday at the Whiteface Mountain Ski Area.

The trail was open on Monday based on conditions, according to the mountain's report, and the ski patrol was requiring avalanche precautions such as a beacon, shovel and probe to ski that area. On Friday, the slides were open without such an avalanche protection requirement.
In addition, the Wilmington Trail and Sugar Valley Glades on Lookout Mountain were opened for the first time this season on Wednesday.
"There is quite a bit of snow over there (slides) and we hope to open the slides more often this season," Whiteface Mountain Manager Aaron Kellett told the News on Wednesday. "The skiing is phenomenal."
As of Friday, Whiteface had 80 trails open and 10 lifts operating with a primary surface of loose granular, according to the mountain's daily ski report.
Kellett said efforts are ongoing to open even more terrain at the ski area.
"We hope to concentrate our snowmaking efforts on Hoyt's High in the upcoming week," he said.
For more information on ski conditions, visit www.whiteface.com or call 518-946-2223.

According to the new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, BBC Books range consultant/editor Justin Richards says that a DVD release of the BBCi webcast The Scream of the Shalka was planned for February 2004, but does not know what is happening to it now. Either way, Restoration Team member Steve Roberts says that a release of "Shalka" on DVD would be "in addition to the normal DVD schedule, not replacing any of it." Roberts also makes note of the DVD release order ofPyramids of Mars and The Visitation; originally "Pyramids" would have been released first, but "we couldn't get the commentary team together until later in the year and I was ahead on 'Visitation', so it was just easiest to swap." (Thanks to Malcolm James, Steve Roberts)

CrowdTV is steaming ahead with the next iteration of crowd-sourcing, and is asking viewers to collaborate in deciding the direction and content of the documentary. For our pilot we gave the online community bare bones topic - water issues in Western Sydney. But beyond that, we threw open the doors to anyone who wants to have a say with the hope the result would be fun and a little bit gritty, but when starting out we had no idea what the outcome would be.
Participants gain points for contributing, such as through posting ideas or voting, and these points equate to credits in the film. This community involvement continues through every step of the production, with users also able to contribute research, vote on edit choices, and contribute or choose graphics and music.
Getting funding bodies interested in the idea proved difficult, as it was hard to pitch an idea for which the very point is that no one knows what it will look like yet. But it was the government and community partners got it immediately. They could see the value of community involvement as an end in itself, whereas the other bodies had been solely focused on the documentary.
We believe CrowdTV has the potential to encourage a broader level of community involvement than other approaches that are all about UGC- the model can be applied to any factual production.
