The gold price didn't do much until about noon in London...and then got sold off going into the London close at 4:00 p.m BST...11:00 a.m. in New York. The low [$1,566.90 spot] came just minutes before 11:00 a.m. Eastern time...and then the gold price recovered a few dollar into the 5:15 p.m. New York close.
The gold price gave back all of its Monday gains...and finished the Tuesday trading day at $1,572.60 spot...down $12.70. Net volume was incredibly light at 96,000 contracts.
It was about the same for silver...but silver's low [$26.74 spot] came around 11:15 a.m. in New York. From there it rallied into the close of Comex trading and then traded sideways for the remainder of the day.
Silver managed to close above the $27 spot level at $27.11. Gross volume was enormous, as we are down to the final days for roll-overs out of the July silver contract, but net volume was a tiny 14,000 contract...more or less.
The dollar index traded in a very tight range around the 82.45 mark...and closed basically unchanged from Monday.
The shares almost made it into positive territory shortly after the equity markets opened yesterday...but that only lasted for fifteen minutes before the sell off began. They hit their nadir after 11:00 a.m. Eastern time...and then made every attempt to recover from there...but even the smallest rally ran into selling pressure...and the HUI finished down 1.61%.
Most of the silver stocks got hit as well...and Nick Laird's Silver Sentiment Index closed down 1.37%.

With the end of the June delivery month upon us, there wasn't much action in the CME's Daily Delivery Report. It showed that only 2 gold and 2 silver contracts were posted for delivery on Thursday. Those are probably the last deliveries for June. First Day Notice for delivery into the July silver contract will be posted on the CME's website late tomorrow evening.
There were no reported changes in either GLD or SLV.
The U.S. Mint had a small sales report. They sold 2,000 ounces of gold eagles...and 25,000 silver eagles.
The Comex-approved depositories showed that they did not receive any silver on Monday...and shipped 490,458 troy ounces out the door. The link to that action is here.
I have the usual number of stories for a mid-week column...and the final edit is up to you.
The United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights.
Revelations that top officials are targeting people to be assassinated abroad, including American citizens, are only the most recent, disturbing proof of how far our nation's violation of human rights has extended. This development began after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and has been sanctioned and escalated by bipartisan executive and legislative actions, without dissent from the general public. As a result, our country can no longer speak with moral authority on these critical issues.
Ex-President Jimmy Carter is one of the very few presidents who can speak to this issue with relatively clean hands...and he was also the recipient of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize...an honour he rightfully deserved...unlike the current President. I note that the 'though police' at The New York Times changed the headline to something a little softer...as you will find out when you click here. I thank reader Victor Oliveira for being the first one through the door with it.
Confidence among U.S. consumers dropped in June for a fourth consecutive month as mounting concern over jobs and incomes dimmed the outlook for spending.
The Conference Board's sentiment index fell to 62, a five-month low, from a revised 64.4 in May, figures from the New York-based private research group showed today. Another report showed home prices were stabilizing.
The slide in confidence raises the risk that the slowdown in hiring revealed by last month's jobs report will cause households to retrench, restraining the spending that accounts for about 70 percent of the economy. The weak labor market is overshadowing the benefit of the lowest gasoline prices in five months, one reason why companies like Ford Motor Co. are keeping an eye on attitudes.
Absolutely no surprises with these numbers. Doug Casey's 'greater depression' is a reality...and it's only going to get worse, much worse. I thank West Virginia reader Elliot Simon for finding this Bloomberg story yesterday...and the link is here.
Officials in Stockton said Tuesday that mediation with creditors has failed, meaning the Central California city is set to become the largest American city ever to declare bankruptcy.
City Manager Bob Deis said officials were unable to reach a deal to restructure hundreds of millions of dollars of debt under a new state law designed to help municipalities avoid bankruptcy.
"Unfortunately we have no comprehensive set of agreements with our creditors that would eliminate the deficit and avoid insolvency," Deis said at a City Council meeting. He said, however, that the city was still negotiating with some creditors and could reach deals with as many as one-third of them.
"We think Chapter 9 protection is the only choice left. If we get any agreements, those will be honored in Chapter 9," Deis said.
This AP story was posted on the San Francisco Chronicle website yesterday evening...and I thank reader 'David in California' for sending it our way. The link is here.
Delta Air Lines, which Tuesday morning announced that busted fuel hedges had resulted in a $155 million second-quarter loss, became the first in what could be a series of major carriers to take pain from an unexpected plunge in crude prices.
WTI crude futures have fallen more than 27 percent since their February high, taking the market by surprise and rendering airline hedges — originally intended to ease the economic pain of higher fuel prices — largely ineffective.
At Delta, the gyrations in crude not only created a loss related to fuel hedges that settled during the June quarter, which ends Saturday, but also contributed to what the company estimates will be an $800 million charge for its open hedging positions, which run through 2013.
This is Elliot Simon's second contribution in a row...and it's a story that was posted at the cnbc.com Internet site yesterday afternoon. The link is here.
Germany's finance minister is rejecting U.S. President Barack Obama's calls on Europe to move faster in fighting its debt crisis, telling him to get the American deficit under control instead.
Wolfgang Schaeuble told public broadcaster ZDF in an interview late Sunday that "people are always very quick at giving others advice."
He says: "Mr. Obama should first of all take care of reducing the American deficit, which is higher than in the eurozone."
Touché, Mr. President...the pot calling the kettle black, one would think. This AP story was posted on their website early on Monday morning...and I stole it out of yesterday's edition of the King Report. The link is here.
Egan-Jones Ratings on Tuesday lowered Germany's sovereign rating on expectations that the country will be left with significant uncollectable receivables due to its exposure to the euro zone. "Egan-Jones Ratings has downgraded Germany from 'AA-' to 'A+' and has issued a negative watch with a projected rating of 'A-,'" said Sean Egan, managing director of Egan-Jones, in emailed comments. The ratings agency noted that Chancellor Angela Merkel is fighting a losing battle in resisting calls for EU bonds and pushing for fiscal controls. "Germany is likely to be outvoted by other ECB members and therefore will have greater prospective exposure," said Egan-Jones.
This short one-paragraph story was posted on the marketwatch.com Internet site yesterday afternoon...and you just read it. I thank Washington state reader S.A. for sharing it with us...and the link to the hard copy is here.
The European Union would get far-reaching powers to rewrite budgets for eurozone countries that break debt and deficit rules, a draft of proposals suggests.
The proposals, submitted to European capitals for review Monday night, are to be discussed at a leaders' summit of all 27 EU countries in Brussels Thursday and Friday, the Financial Times reported Tuesday.
The authors of the draft -- European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, and Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker, representing eurozone finance ministers -- fine-tuned the proposals during a meeting Monday, said the newspaper, which saw the draft.
The proposals are part of a larger plan to turn the eurozone into a closer fiscal union and give the EU powers to function as a eurozone finance ministry, the newspaper said.
The new world order crowd just keeps pushing. I thank Roy Stephens for this UPI story that was filed from Brussels yesterday afternoon...and the link is here.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble kicked a political hornets' nest when he suggested to SPIEGEL that a referendum on efforts to save the euro will have to be held sooner or later. German commentators jumped into the debate on Tuesday.
Europe, it is said, is not doing enough to solve the euro crisis. World leaders have spent weeks demanding more from euro-zone leaders and several in Germany have joined in the chorus. Just on Monday, German central bank head Jens Weidmann said during an appearance at SPIEGEL headquarters in Hamburg that the unwillingness of European politicians to make a decision has forced central banks to overstep their role.
It does not reflect my understanding of politics, Weidmann said, "when politicians deliberately avoid decisions and the central banks are forced to take up the slack."
Recently, though, it has become clear that doing much more is problematic in its own right, particularly in Germany. A discussion about democratic legitimacy has recently gained steam in Berlin -- triggered first and foremost by Germany's highest court -- and has led Chancellor Angela Merkel to change her approach in her pursuit of parliamentary backing for currently planned measures to counter the euro crisis. Furthermore, the country is now also arguing over whether it is time for a country-wide referendum on efforts to save the euro.
This Roy Stephens offering was posted on the German Internet site spiegel.de yesterday...and the link is here.
European leaders have been muddling through instead of properly tackling the debt crisis. Now it threatens the very foundations of the European Union and could destroy a lifestyle that millions of Europeans take for granted. But the high expectations for this week's summit in Brussels can only lead to disappointment.
This eye-opening two-page essay was posted over at the spiegel.de website yesterday. I consider it a must read...and don't let the rather innocuous title fool you. I thank reader Donald Sinclair for sending it along...and the link is here.
Spain is poised for a downgrade to junk by Moody's Investors Service, according to investors who sent the cost of default insurance for the nation's biggest banks and companies close to record highs.
Credit-default swaps on Banco Santander SA, the country's biggest bank, jumped 23 percent this quarter to 454 basis points, compared with an all-time high of 474 in November. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA rose 26 percent to 477, approaching May's record 516, while phone company Telefonica SA surged 70 percent to a record 540 basis points.
Moody's downgraded 28 Spanish banks yesterday including a two-step cut for Banco Santander and a three-level reduction for BBVA, a week after it lowered Spain's rating to Baa3, on the cusp of junk. The country remains on review for another cut by New York-based Moody's after it sought a 100 billion-euro ($125 billion) international bailout for its banks and on speculation losses from its real estate industry will worsen.
This Bloomberg story was posted on their website early yesterday morning...and I thank Elliot Simon for his third offering in today's column. The link is here.
Sir Mervyn King's words, which pushed his earlier prediction for a full recovery back by three years, reflected the scale of problems in the eurozone as well as his fears for the global economy.
Addressing MPs at the Treasury Select Committee (TSC), Sir Mervyn said: "When this crisis began in 2007, most people did not believe we would still be here. I don't think we're yet half way through this. I've always said that and I'm still saying it. My estimate of how long it will take to recover is expanding all the time.
"We have to regard this as a long-term project to get back to where we were, but we're nowhere near starting that yet. We're in a deep crisis with enormous challenges."
Doug Casey's greater depression is just getting started...and Sir Mervyn's five years will prove to be wildly optimistic. However, the world's current economic, financial and monetary system will probably be toast long before then...and with the slate wiped clean, Britain, along with the rest of the world, might be able to start fresh with a precious metals-backed currency...if that's what we end up with. This story was posted over at the telegraph.co.uk Internet site early yesterday afternoon BST...and I thank Roy Stephens for sending it. The link is here.
This is the headline to a Zero Hedge story that Elliot Simon sent me in the wee hours of the morning Eastern time...and it's pretty self-explanatory. The link is here.
The first is with the BMO's Don Coxe. It's headlined "Get Ready, Banks to Collapse In Europe". The second one is with John Embry. It's entitled "We're On The Edge of Collapse, We've Run Out of Time". Lastly is this blog with Citibank analyst Tom Fitzpatrick. The headline here reads "Major Markets to Resume Their Decline".
An astonishing hoard of 50,000 Iron Age coins has been unearthed in Jersey. They are thought to have been hidden from the European power of the time, Caesar's Rome. Being silver, they had an intrinsic value. Many bear heads with strange haircuts – perhaps representing Iron Age bond-holders who had unwisely invested in the debts of the Aedui and the Segusiavi, the Veneti, the Senones and the Aulerci, all economies operating at different speeds in Gaul.
In future millennia, archaeologists might come across great piles of discarded discs marked "euro". What, they may wonder, could these unheard-of tokens be? Of copper, zinc, nickel, aluminium and tin, their intrinsic value will be marginal. Perhaps, future historians might speculate, these were used as some kind of propaganda rather than as currency, a passing fad, like cathode-ray tubes and compact discs.
You've just read the entire 2-paragraph story that was filed on The Telegraph's website yesterday evening...and I thank Roy Stephens for his final offering in today's column. The link to hard copy [and the imbedded photo] is here.
This is a brand new interview that was posted on the goldseek.com Internet site yesterday...and I haven't even had time to listen to it yet. It runs a bit over 13 minutes...and I thank reader Dennis Meredith for bringing it to my attention...and now to yours. The link is here.
"The platinum market is expected to be in a substantial deficit this year and palladium could fall into a deficit, due to lower South African and Russian output," CPM forecast Tuesday in its CPM Group Platinum Group Metals Yearbook 2012.
"Rhodium's surplus is expected to decline in 2012, similar to platinum and palladium, mostly due to a decline in mine production in South Africa, the largest producer of PGMs," said the New York City-based commodities consultants.
In the yearbook, CPM observed platinum and palladium supply and demand growth slowed in 2011; demand growth due to weaker economic conditions; and supply growth slowed due to production disruptions at South African PGM mines.
I found this story posted over at the mineweb.co.za website just now...and the link is here.
Chris has been in Hong Kong giving speeches at various conferences during the last week or so...and all the GATA dispatches were filed from there while he was gone. Here's the stump speech that he gave at all three conferences. It's not overly long...but there are lots of links to keep you in reading material for a while. It's well worth your time...and it's posted over at the gata.org Internet site. The link is here.

The Most Boring Way to Get Rich It's not fancy. It's not sexy. It's not popular. But it spells opportunity like few current investments do. As this bull market gets going, you'll be glad you got in early. |
I wouldn't read too much into yesterday's price action in either silver or gold. Volume was very light...and it's pretty easy to push prices around when there's not a lot of volume. I think that proved to be the case yesterday.
A few people say that we're in the "summer doldrums" as far as the precious metals are concerned. The only reason we appear to be in the summer doldrums is that JPMorgan et al are sitting on their respective prices. And with all the problems in Europe, it will be interesting to see how long they can keep the lid on these prices.
The only good thing about yesterday's price action was that we'll see another bottom-of-the-barrel Commitment of Traders Report on Friday...as all the action from last week will be in this report...and whatever deterioration there was during Monday's quick run-up in prices in New York, was all negated during the New York session on Tuesday.
Well, the world's problems are approaching the terminal stages...especially in Europe. If the euro and the EU go down the drain, the collateral damage will be on a global scale and, without doubt, most of the world's banking system wouldn't survive either. The only way left to save the financial system is a massive re-pricing of gold...not a new gold standard per se...but a way for the central banks of the world to repair the gapping holes in their respective balance sheets. But the question remains as to whether or not they will take that step. The alternative is Armageddon...in one form or another.
As I hit the 'send' button at 4:38 a.m. Eastern time, Far East trading action was dead...and nothing much has changed now that London has opened, either. Volume is non-existent...so what the price is doing, either rising or falling, is basically irrelevant...as we're already cleaned out to the downside from a COT point of view. Gold is down about eight dollars...and silver is down just under 40 cents at the moment. The dollar index is comatose as well. Like I said yesterday...it's too quiet out there...and I'm wondering if this is the calm before the storm? I don't know, but I expect we'll find out soon enough.
I hope your Wednesday goes well...and I'll see you here on Thursday.

Here's the only video of slo-mo flying kittens you need to see today
9/14/2012These cute kittens are getting some major air — and they have the superhero capes to back it up. The video is called "Cute Kittens Fly in Slow Motion to Hip Hop Dubstep," and while it isn't flashy, it's deadly accurate. You don't need flash when you're showing footage as cute as this. Yes, it is a little disconcerting to think about how these kittens exactly became airborne, but a disclaimer on the video says they were "treated like royalty" and tossed a few feet into "an enormous and ultra soft sheepskin blanket." They were also given all the gourmet cat food they could handle and rested in the shade between takes. We guess that makes it OK.

Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg and CEO Toni Schneider were interviewed by our own Alexia Tsotsis at Le Web 10 today. Our live notes (paraphrased):
Can you talk about your vision from blogging and how it changed from 2003 to 2010?
I really wanted software for my own blog, there was no Javascript at the time. By the time people started to really think about Web apps, WordPress was becoming more than just a blogging tool, but more of a CMS.
So now people use it to power their websites not just their blogs.
What's the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org? You transferred the trademark recently right?
Tricky one.
We started as an open source project, but where we were in 2005 we weren't sure how to take it to the next level. What if it could be one-click simple, so that became WordPress.com. And then millions of people started using it, but we still had to consider the .org part.
We looked at the situation, and we decided the trademark belongs in a non-profit organization.
What are the challenges of building a business based on open-source technology?
The biggest challenge is to start a business based on an open-source project that wouldn't actually kill the open source project and scare away the community. Our goal has been for both to reinforce each other, and it has worked. Both have seen growth.
How big is WordPress?
There are about 30 million publishers right now. That's roughly 10% of all websites in the world. We're currently getting about 300 million unique visitors on WordPress.com a month.
Are you making money?
We're focused on growth right now, so we've invested a lot in infrastructure and so on. We haven't been focused on revenues so far, but I can tell you we're break-even.
How big is the company right now?
We're about 74 people.
(TechCrunch: we hear that Automattic makes a little under $1 million a month from all its services combined. That's roughly $10 million a year, based on what we've heard from reliable sources.)
Where does most of the revenue come from?
Most comes from premium services, the hosting service etcetera.
What's the exit potential for Automattic?
Our goal's not to be acquired.
Automattic is the company behind WordPress.com, the simplest, most secure way to start web-publishing immediately on the open source WordPress platform. They also make Jetpack for WordPress, which bundles a number of social improvements to the WordPress core software as a single plugin. Automattic offers a number of products, like VaultPress and Akismet, on a freemium model so anyone can use them for free, and later have the choice to pay extra for premium features. Automattic has over 150 employees, including...

Volunteering and state benefits - some more myths busted from Volunteering England's Policy Blog
The '16 hour' myth, 'volunteer or lose your benefits', and brokerage and 'registered volunteering'
We continue to receive a high level of enquiries from our members about the rules around volunteering and benefits. Whilst there is still some confusion within the voluntary sector itself, in most cases, they're a result of individual members of Jobcentre Plus staff providing incorrect information.
The '16 hour' myth
The biggest myth used to be that you can only volunteer for a maximum of 16 hours a week before a benefits claim is affected. Thankfully, this does seem to be coming up less, but there are still some people who aren't clear about the rules.
For example, in the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's otherwise excellent short film, The Big Society: A view from the frontline, we hear from volunteer Nick Shaw that he cannot volunteer for more than 16 hours a week because he receives Jobseeker's Allowance. Nick had acquired the information from a printed leaflet provided by his Jobcentre.
The official Jobcentre Plus leaflet Volunteering while getting benefits [PDF] (February 2010) couldn't be clearer: "you can volunteer as many hours as you like while you're getting benefits as long as you keep to the rules for getting them".
Sometimes a Jobcentre Plus customer may legitimately be asked for detailed information about their volunteering, but this is to ensure that what they are doing is actually volunteering. In this way, the Jobcentre Plus approach actually helps to ensure volunteering is volunteering.
For example, if someone chooses not to get paid for the work they do, or if they're doing for free what someone would usually get paid for, e.g. in a business, then that is unpaid work, not volunteering. In these latter cases, Jobcentre Plus will consider whether someone would usually get paid to do the work, if there is a community benefit and the organisation that is making the role available.
As you can see, it's not just about the volunteer breaking benefits rules, unwittingly or otherwise. It's also about the organisation potentially using volunteers in what should be a paid role.
'Volunteer or lose your benefits'
Recently we've been hearing that some Jobcentre Plus staff are saying that if a customer doesn't take up a volunteering opportunity that has been identified as possibly appropriate for them, they could have their benefits payments reduced.
Again, this is just false. Our contact at the Department of Work and Pensions says simply, "there is no legal basis to enable the Department to require customers to undertake volunteering".
We think that the same thing is happening in this case as with the 16-hour myth: the rules for jobs are being applied by some Jobcentre Plus staff to volunteering roles. However, there may be other reasons, such as using the same word to mean different things. It may be that some Jobcentre Plus staff mean 'work experience' when they say 'volunteering'.
It's true that people claiming benefits can be required to undertake work experience or similar activity that might seem very similar to volunteering, and that if they refuse their benefit payments can be reduced or stopped. However, this should never be called volunteering.
Brokerage and 'registered volunteering'
The above issue was raised by one of our members via a discussion thread on i-volunteer. They were also confused by a Jobcentre Plus staff member talking about "registered volunteering", or the Jobcentre itself placing unemployed people in volunteering opportunities.
Our DWP contact has "never heard of registered volunteering", and brokerage of volunteering opportunities isn't part of the Jobcentre Plus offer. In addition, Volunteering England, the Prince's Trust, NCVYS and others are currently working with Jobcentre Plus on 'co-locating' voluntary organisations in their offices, which shows that they're turning to the sector and its expertise to provide that support.
When the Prince's Trust renewed its memorandum of understanding with Jobcentre Plus, it was agreed that a model of 'co-location' would be developed. The intention is to make space available in Jobcentre Plus offices for voluntary sector organisations to talk to their customers about volunteering.
The intention is not to develop a brokerage service, but to encourage people to think about volunteering, provide them with some information and signpost them to the most appropriate organisation, in many cases the local Volunteer Centre. However, where possible, those on the desk may be able to access the Do-it database and help the customer look for a role.
We're currently in the process of helping Jobcentre Plus to develop these pilots, as well as arranging for Volunteer Centres to feedback directly to DWP and the Cabinet Office on the implementation of Work Together, the government's initiative to encourage unemployed people to volunteer. If you'd like to talk more about this aspect of our work, do feel free to contact us
Further information
We hope we've clarified the situation and provided you with some helpful information. We also want to show that, whilst things may not be perfect at a local level, Jobcentre Plus is working with us nationally to smooth the way for unemployed people to volunteer.
If you do have any problems though you can always contact us by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, and there are several sources of information listed below that can help you counter misinformation.
back to topChanges to checks and disclosures in working with children and the vulnerable
The coverage of proposed changes to the Vetting and Barring Scheme may have created some confusion, with a government statement that registration for 9 million people would be abolished sometimes reported in isolation from there still being a (remodelled) disclosure scheme and barring lists. The official announcement was based on the publication of the findings and recommendations from the parallel reviews of the Criminal Records Regime and the Vetting and Barring Scheme. Some recommendations, such as portability of checks between jobs, were in the legislation previously due to be introduced (but suspended). Main points from and a summary of the recommendations can be found at Safeguarding Matters, the official Vetting and Barring Scheme Remodelling Review report (pdf, 136KB) is at www.homeoffice.gov.uk.
How many people (paid staff and volunteers) working with children and vulnerable adults will be caught by the arrangements won't be clear until the level and frequency of contact is fully defined. As the new regime is proposed to be "self-funding" there may well be an increase in the cost of criminal records disclosure fees. According to The Guardian, changes could be introduced in about 18 months, although the Government has promised that they "will be introduced gradually to ensure a seamless transition". Also see Protection of Freedoms Bill consultation, above. Until the new provisions come in, the safeguarding requirements in force from October 2009 remain in place - Criminal Records Bureau site is at www.crb.homeoffice.gov.uk, Independent Safeguarding Authority www.isa-gov.org.uk.
There has been a mixed reaction from the sector, as reported in Third Sector www.thirdsector.co.uk. Volunteering England has welcomed the broad proposals but points out that "the consultations and detailed work on implementation will be all-important".
Note - Scotland has its own arrangements which are changing shortly, see previous newsletters.

back to topVolunteers! Volunteers! Volunteers!
Would you like some support with your project? An extra pair of hands to answer the phone, arrange a meeting or support your service users?
We're very lucky in Bromley that so many people are interested in giving their time for free – How could they help you?
People are interested in all sorts of volunteering roles from the unusual to the practical. We are currently promoting opportunities ranging from British Red Cross Casualty Simulation Volunteer (http://www.do-it.org.uk/oppdetails.do?id=1585060) to Office Helper for the 5000 Project (http://www.do-it.org.uk/oppdetails.do?id=1599492 ).
What the most popular type of opportunity?
People are keen to learn new skills and be of practical help to an organisation. In the last 6 months over 350 people have contacted us about Volunteer Administration roles, which makes it the most popular category.
Have all these people found volunteering opportunities? No, as we do not have enough Administration roles registered on our database – we'd love to have some more.
If you would like to discuss how volunteers could help support your organisation, please contact the Volunteer Centre team or you can complete and return the registration forms (http://www.communitylinksbromley.org.uk/vc/organisations.html#register).

Evaluating 'The Company You Keep'
Category: 'Y' Written by Courier Newsroom
by Derrick McCain
Filled with drama, plot twists and even musical numbers, "The Company You Keep" was a play produced by Soul'd Out productions during their Let's Stop the Violence Week. The play keeps a strong Christian approach to handling such conflict while emphasizing a moral: beware of the company you keep.
"There has been many incidents in Pittsburgh where the youth were at the wrong place at the wrong time," said Alichia Parker, executive producer. While the play preaches a positive message, the production failed to keep it as uplifting as it could have been, due to several factors.

|| A Tradition of Complete Education ||
The Bhaktivedanta Gurukula and International School (BGIS) offers a unique balance of the best of both worlds - the traditional and the modern, the Vedic and the contemporary , the spirittual and the temporal. A thorough academic programme with small classes. Enthusiastic teachers with the time to help each student. A well equipped campus in the rich cultural and spiritual town of Vrindavan. The youthful energy of an international student body student and playing together. Yearly adventures that include visiting South Indian holy places, mountain climbing, hiking and swimming. Each feature of BGIS is geared to bring out each student's best. To offer them not just classroom lessons but a few lessons in life as well. To help them rise above just being good students and let them out into the world as good people.
Which is why we call ourselves a Gurukula. Here, the students imbibe in their hearts a devotion to Lord Krishna based on the teachings of the Bhagvad-Gita. Teachings that are delivered not sentimentally or dogmatically but in a philosophical and cultural way, using both contemporary and traditional educational methods.
We are also an International School. We use the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) exam in the 10th standard and the Indian Certificate of Education (ICE) exam in 12th.
Bearing witness to the well-rounded nature of BGIS is the fact that our teachers and students come from around the globe, providing a rich, natural forum for cultural exchange and appreciation.
Thus, the BGIS experience gives a student the opportunity to excel in his studies while holding a spiritual worldview. The outcome is a well-balanced individual ready to take on life's challenges.

Walshe's main responsibility will be to help the Nikon "achieve its business goal of being number one in the UK imaging market," says the firm.
"We are delighted that John has accepted the position and welcome his experience as a means of strengthening the brand," adds Miwa. "John joins Nikon at a pivotal point in its history as the company seeks to grow market share in a challenging and changing market. The future looks very positive for Nikon UK and we are confident that we will achieve our business goals. We look forward to introducing John to key stakeholders in due course."

Jillard, Morse, Torrence Pace Huskies at Kaufman-Brand Open
Dec. 1, 2012 TOWN & COUNTRY, Mo. - The Northern Illinois wrestling team placed 14 wrestlers on the podium Saturday at the Kaufman-Brand Open at Maryville University. "Rob did a nice job of going out and getting to an attack," Ludwig said. "He stayed aggressive all day." Morse's day began with a pair of high-scoring wins to push him into the semifinals. The freshman started with a 10-2 major decision over Illinois' Matt Ruettiger, followed by a 14-7 win against Bobby Williams of Ouachita Baptist. In the semifinals, Morse held off Maryville's Greg Hegarty to move into the finals. However, his day ended on a down note when Illinois' Zac Brunson defeated Morse, 6-2. "Andrew Morse did a great job and is making strides all the time," Ludwig said.

JOHNSON BAYOU – The Northside Christian Warriors rallied from a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game and then outlasted Johnson Bayou in three overtimes to slip away with a dramatic 99-97 victory Friday evening.
The victory sent the Warriors to 10-10 overall and 2-0 in District 7-C play.
"This was a huge win for us," said NCS coach Glenn Daigle. "Our district is pretty good so to pick up a victory on the road like that is pretty big."
Ty Wilson connected on a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter and scored five points in the frame to help the Warriors tie the game and send it to the first overtime.
From there, the Warriors led by as many as five in the first extra frame before Johnson Bayou rallied back to knot the game at 72.
The Rebels took control in the second overtime and jumped out to a five-point lead before Tracy Wilridge's 3-pointer tied the game (83-83), sending it into the third and final overtime.
In the final frame, Joseph Trahan connected on a free throw with five seconds remaining to seal the victory.
Kade Miller, Wilridge and Wilson did most of the damage for the Warriors. The trio combined for 68 of the Warriors' 99 points on the night and 25 of their 35 in overtime.
"Kade, Tracy and Ty each had big nights for us," said Daigle. "Those three guys were key for us."
Miller finished the night with a game-high 27 points while Wilridge had 22 and Wilson had 19.
Also contributing in the victory were Trahan and Nick Zaunbrecher with 11 points each and Nathan Zeller with nine.
The Warriors will travel to Starks tonight to close out the first round of district play.
The Northside Christain Lady Warriors outscored Johnson Bayou 32-26 in the second half to slip away with their first district win of the season.
The Lady Warriors improved to 7-8 overall and 1-1 in league play with the victory.
Natalie Hayes and Madisyn Clement each scored 13 points in the victory while Madeline Gatte had 10. Zoie Hanagriff added seven points, Brooke Standord had five and Kathryn Zaunbrecher had two. Cydni Crozier and Sydni Guidry rounded out the Lady Warriors offensive attack with one point each.
HATHAWAY – The Midland Rebels drained 10 3-pointers and had four players score in double figures Friday evening.
But in the end, it wasn't enough.
Hathaway rallied from an early deficit and drained a 3-pointer of their own in the final seconds to shock the Rebels on the Hornets' home court.
Midland fell to 19-7 overall and 2-1 in district play with the loss.
The Rebels led for most of the contest before the Hornets went on a tear in the fourth quarter and led by as many as five midway through the frame.
The Rebels rallied back to tie the game at 65-65 on a pair of buckets by Alan Vondenstein and Jake Gautreaux before Hathaway's eventual game-winning long ball.
Gautreaux canned five 3-pointers on the night and finished with a team-high 19 points. Randy Primeaux added three shots from beyond the arch and had 16 points.
Alan Vondenstein and Devin Gautreaux followed with 12 and 10 points, respectively, Darren Arceneaux scored six and Stephen Primeaux had two.
HATHAWAY – The Hathaway Lady Hornets jumped out to a 20-6 lead in the first quarter and never looked back in convincing victory over Midland Friday evening.
The Lady Rebels fell to 13-15 overall and 1-2 in district play with the loss.
Nicole Kraut led Midland with 10 points while Kristen Breaux, Katie Woods and Melody Hebert each scored nine. Bethany LeJeune and Brooke Comeaux each followed with three points and Elizabeth Istre rounded out the scoring with two points.
Midland will be in action again tonight when they play host to Grand Lake.

Shaldon beach has the lot – great facilities, plenty of water sports and a host of other attractions that'll keep everyone entertained right through the holiday. Located at the mouth if the River Teign, it's a gently sloping mix of sand and shingle that levels out at the river estuary. It's a popular beach during the summer, but if you fancy a quieter time its sheltered position makes it a great destination during the off-peak season too.
Attractions and Walks
Shaldon beach is where you'll find some of the most spectacular coastline in South Devon. Because of its location and the way the sands have formed, it's perfect for a number of water sports including sailing, fishing, swimming, canoeing and rowing, but bear in mind that Shaldon beach is not patrolled by lifeguards.
However, if getting wet isn't your style, there's plenty more to do and see on dry land. Shaldon is close to attractions such as the Shaldon Wildlife Trust, Dartmoor and Haytor and Homeyards Botanical Gardens. Alternatively, you can challenge yourself on the Templar way - an 18 mile walk that follows the export route for granite taken from Dartmoor, passing along the Haytor Granite tramway and the Stover canal, before finally passing through Newton Abbot towards Teignmouth and Shaldon.
Travel Further Afield
South Devon is a very arty-crafty place, with plenty to check out for culture vultures. There's a beachside Craft Fair held during the summer months and watch out for the Water Carnival in August – an event that kids will love. If you want to explore the local area but don't want to take the car, you can travel to Teignmouth on the oldest passenger ferry in England and get stuck into some serious people watching in the various cafés, restaurants and bars.
There's plenty of accommodation available in area, ranging from hotels and luxury apartments to self-catering cottages and picturesque campsites. Exeter is just 20 minutes drive away and you can also get there on public transport. Here, you can indulge in a spot of retail therapy and explore the historic Roman Walls that still surround the city.

14th Hersbruck International Guitar Festival 2013
Welcome to the 14th Hersbruck International Guitar Festival! This year we must once again welcome to Hersbruck some of the most exciting guitarists of various genres and enjoy a week of "undiluted Pure guitar" with all its harmonies and facets.
The Festival will be opened by the exceptional young flamenco guitarist Santiago Lara and his flamenco group. On Sunday evening, before Roland Dyens the Frenchman, well-known throughout the world for his compositions for jazz and classical music takes the stage, I, together with my wife, the violinist Doris Kreusch-Orsan will play a wide selection of music ranging from chamber music by Schubert to Spanish music. On this evening there will be also another World premiere on which the composer is on stage: this time with a piece for violine and guitar from the composer Nikolaus Brass from Munich, which he dedicated the duo from me and my wife. The following day the Brazilian Carlos Barbosa-Lima will aim to give his best with his own arrangements of jazz and Brazilian classics (by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa). This grand master of the guitar, who studied with Andrés Segovia, known for his innumerable arrangements and for being the one to whom Alberto Ginastera dedicated his Sonata Op.47, made his German debut in Hersbruck two years ago – which was something of a sensation. Yet another reason to invite this wonderful musician to Hersbruck again! The second part of this Brazilian evening will be a performance by Ahmed El-Salamouny who has been included by the "Classical Guitar" magazine amongst the great masters of the Brazilian guitar together with the Brazilian percussionist Mauro Martins.It has become a tradition that the fans of Fingerstyle are rewarded for their visit in the middle of the Festival. As "a festival within the Festival" YouTube star Adam Rafferty from New York City, the Italian Peppino D´Agostino and Michael Langer from Austria will play together, demonstrating their genres. In addition to their own pop and jayy compositions popular pieces by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon and the Beatles will be on the programme during the evening. This year we welcome back to Hersbruck Manuel Barrueco and Pepe Romero two great stars of the classical or Spanish guitar. That these two artists who regularly perform in some of the biggest concert halls all over the world, such as New York's Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Musikverein in Vienna, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Philharmonie in Berlin, the Teatro real in Madrid and the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona and who work with some of the most famous singers and orchestras should come to Hersbruck must be recognised by a full house. The finale of this year's Festival includes no lesser of an artist than the saxophonistKlaus Doldinger . Klaus Doldinger who finally became world famous with his theme music for "Das Boot", "Tatort", or "The Never Ending Story", will play with my brother, the jazz pianist Cornelius Claudio Kreusch, who has performed with many major jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock, Kenny Garrett, Bobby McFerrin and Salif Keïta. Also in the trio again are Zaf Zapha from French Guiana on bass and Maxime Zampieri from Paris on drums. In this concert, the participants of the workshop "Learning from Jazz Masters" will also take part.
In addition to the concerts exhibitions, lectures, sessions, master classes, workshops and private lessons take place throughout the week in the AOK Center. Alongside the artists performing in the concerts, we have managed to engage tutors such as the Argentinian Lutenist Eduardo Egüez, Johannes Monno from Stuttgart and Johannes Tappert There will be also a lecture on the development of the guitar held by master guitar maker Gert Esmyol. The guitar courses with the "Hersbruck Music Academy (HMA)" will be complemented by a training programme for music teachers and interested amateurs. Internationally renowned lecturers will cast light on the latest scientific and educational knowledge in the field of musicology, music psychology, music medicine or music practice in lectures, workshops and seminars. This year's seminar topics include "How to perform without anxiety", "Mental Training", "Correct Practice", "Improvisation", "Total Body Coordination and Posture for musicians" or "Performance Practice of Old and New Music". The detailed programme is for published on this website. As always, this year, I am looking forward to an inspiring Festival with many exciting concerts, courses, lectures and meetings!
