... but I just set my personal record for pull-ups and have been dying to bray about it like a donkey. Twenty-four... 24, one score and four.
The last three weren't too pretty... but hey, 24 pull-ups!
Me too, lol! The arm exercise pull-ups didn't even cross my mind.

WHY? Every time someone does something like this I have to go see how I measure up...so sad. It's a big part of the reason i got hurt, and burned out earlier this year.
there, are you happy now?!
Hoping to get up to 8 if i lose another 5 lbs. Not gonna work out or anything, though.
Awesome. I dig pull ups, too, though I admit to have gotten a little distracted by running recently. A solid 10, no more. 24? No way in hell.
Nice job!!
This reminds me, I've been slacking, need to get back on track. I was up to 5, now I'm down to 3. This is coming from not being able to do any a couple of months ago.
For those that can only do one, or none, start with negatives, they work great. I went from zero to my first pullup in a week doing negatives.

On Pokemon black-and-white, in all of me and my brother's total games (7), we only got 1 girl starter (Emboar). What is up with that? And just so you know, 7 games in Pokemon black and white for the confused.
The starter Pokemon in the games, when bred, have a much higher chance of hatching a male pokemon and only a 12.5% chance of hatching a female if I remember correctly. I have never gotten a female starter before when starting a game.

Empirical outcome research is needed in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy (Gunderson and Gabbard 1999). In this chapter, I review the available evidence for both short-term and long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP and LTPP). In the first part, I discuss the procedures of evidence-based medicine and empirically supported treatments with regard to their applicability to psychotherapy. I then review the available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of short-term and moderate-length psychodynamic psychotherapy in specific mental disorders. Because the methodology of RCTs is difficult to apply to LTPP, I close the chapter by reviewing the quasi-experimental effectiveness studies of LTPP.

Window to the Soul
They say that the eyes are the window to the soul. Those gorgeous eyes had been on his mind for weeks. They had never spoken and yet she was always on his mind. Once more he found himself sitting at his desk with his head down as he concentrated on the drawing he had already started. His tongue peeked from between his lips as he worked on perfecting the picture. Sitting up, he sighed as he realized he had drawn her eyes again. Why was it they captivated him so? A few people passed by and he quickly covered the drawing. She was the only one in the office with blue-green eyes. Anyone who saw his work would know it was her. He looked around before he brought the drawing back out to finish it.
He had become so engrossed in his drawing that he hardly noticed his boss was now standing behind him. The older man was plump and the scowl he wore on his face meant that he wasn't pleased with what he was seeing. "Marcus!" He jumped and looked back at his boss, his dark eyes wide with horror. He had been caught. Marcus could feel his heart racing faster than it had ever before. His palms grew slick with nervous sweat as his boss stared him down. "Do I pay you to draw Marcus?"
"N-no sir." Marcus stuttered out. The whole office was looking now. She was looking. His wide, fearful eyes glanced in her direction. She was staring right at him with a look of confusion on her face. His boss snatched the drawing off his desk and began to snicker. He held up the drawing of her eyes. Marcus felt himself turn the brightest shade of red any human had ever turned as the plump man held up his picture with his stubby, sausage fingers.
"It seems Marcus likes drawing people's eyes. That is kind of creepy Marcus."
He just wanted to vanish. He silently prayed to God to open a hole up beneath his chair for him to fall into and never come out of. The women giggled while the men just went back to work. They could care less. A voice rang out across the office. It was her voice. Marcus looked up from his desk to see her walking over to their boss. She snatched the picture from his hand and glared him down with those gorgeous eyes of hers.
"How dare you humilate Marcus like that! This is not high school Mr. White. Now go back to your office before I call corporate and let them know about this." Everyone was silent as she scolded their boss. No one had ever stood up to Mr. White like that before. Most just dealt with his bullying. Marcus' mouth had fallen open as she spoke. She was actually standing up for him. She knew he existed! He could barely contain his excitment. Mr. White turned red but said nothing as he turned and made his way back to his plush corner office. Turning slightly, she smiled at Marcus and handed him his drawing. "You're a very good artist. What are you doing in this rat hole?"
Marcus couldn't speak for a moment. "Uhm... It was the only thing I could find when I moved here." He smiled as she smiled.
"Well you deserve better than this." A light blush covered her pale cheeks. "I'd love to model for you sometime since it seems I'm your muse." She winked. Marcus thought he was going to die in that moment. He nodded and could only watch in disbelief as he picked up a pencil from his desk and scrawled her number on the corner of the paper. "Call me sometime." She smiled again before she made her way back to her desk. Marcus just sat there, staring at the number on the paper. It seemed eyes really were the window to the soul. His simple drawing had found him his soul mate...or so he hoped.

"Do you have a grey or coloured horse, or a horse with white markings? Are you fed up with paying for those really expensive 'blueing' shampoos that never seem to do what they promise…EQUINE BLUE is a totally safe, inert pigment that is added to water and given as a final rinse to your horse. The effect is…well, BRILLIANT!"
Does the Samurai Shopper make these things up? In researching shampoos for humans with silver hair — don't ever say gray — the Samurai tripped over Equine Blue's Web site, dedicated to making horses beautiful and blue-ribbon worthy through follicular magic. All you "neigh"-sayers out there are missing the joys of owning a photogenic horse whose mane is free of the dingy yellowness or the brassy tones that also plague two-legged beasts with silvery, salt and peppery hair.
Just as bluing compounds used to make laundry whiter than white (and still do), shampoos for silver hair neutralize pollution, chemical buildup and the stained-teeth hue that indicates neglect. These shampoos aren't blue, but violet-lush, gooey, electric neon, 3-D violet. On a color wheel, violet is the opposite of yellow. Too much violet, however, will turn hair blue, and is likely to provoke derogatory remarks about "the blue rinse brigade": whiskered spinsters who excel at needlepoint and mah-jongg, and occupy Daughters of the American Revolution meetings, agitating for the return of corsets and pince-nez spectacles.
Blue rinse brigade: Does that sound like Kelly Osbourne, Linda Fargo of Bergdorf Goodman, Emmylou Harris, or Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund? The Samurai Shopper is a big fan of all these silver foxes and has a bouquet of violets to toss in their general direction, in case they are looking for even better methods of polishing up their already pearly white tresses.
The people who once wondered if blondes had more fun worked at Clairol, and it turns out its Shimmer Lights Shampoo is the Triple Crown winner for silver hair as well as blond. It's not a Samurai favorite, for reasons best expressed by Diane Ackerman in "A Short History of the Senses": "Violets smell like burnt sugar cubes that have been dipped in lemon and velvet." That is not an apt description of the scent of Shimmer Lights.
Sachajuan, from Stockholm, has a rich Silver Shampoo and Conditioner that better captures the essence of violets, in aroma as well as that glorious multicolored purple. And it cleans hair and leaves it shiny, which I suppose is the point. Davines Alchemic Shampoo for Natural and Colored Hair in Silver also has a poetic smell and lathers sparsely, perfectly: too many suds make hair very dry. Davines has a five-minute leave-on conditioner in thick-as-a-brick ultra-violet, too, but I'd alternate between that and the shampoo, because too much of a good thing is a bad thing.
Rene Furterer's Okara Mild Silver Shampoo contains less guar gum than the others, but the resulting thinner texture doesn't make it less effective. All these violets are best used once or twice a week, and best broken up with the sensational O&M Original Detox Shampoo, just arriving here from Australia as we speak. Guys who aren't into aromatic deep purple (the color or the rock group) will like Daddy-O from Lush; its bracing oceanic smell has bladderwrack seaweed as a headliner, and this way they can ditch the Grecian formula and rock the silver.
So many choices, so few organics. Soma has an all-vegan blond and silver shampoo, more scarce than hen's teeth in these parts. And I'm waiting for EverEscents from Australia to hop on the pony express and send its Organic Berry Blonde shampoo this way; if you read the fine print, you'll notice that silver heads reap huge benefits from these blond-type shampoos — minus so many of those blond-type moments.
This post has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: May 29, 2012
The price of the Davines Alchemic Shampoo was incorrectly stated in an earlier edition of the post. It is $24, not $22.25.

While I am unable to touch on all of the important issues these bills addressed, this week I want to continue taking the time to address several pieces of legislation that will likely have a particularly important impact on you and our state. This week we will discuss the Georgia Tax Tribunal Act of 2012, the Fetal Pain Bill, Telemarketing Oversight and Criminal Justice Reform.
Georgia Tax Tribunal Act of 2012
HB 100 creates a special tax court that will be independent from the Georgia Department of Revenue. This new court will provide a unique venue for Georgia taxpayers to resolve disputes with the Department of Revenue.
The court will not hear alcohol and motor vehicle disputes, but will be available for income and sales tax disputes.
There will be no juries, but evidence may be offered similar to that in State or Superior Courts. The tax courts will be staffed by persons with expert knowledge relating to taxes, and judges will be required to have specific tax-related legal experience.
It is a step in the right direction to provide Georgia taxpayers with a special place for tax disputes to be heard.
HB 954 caused one of the most passionate debates of the session. With this legislation, the General Assembly decided that there is substantial evidence that an unborn child is capable of experiencing pain by at least 20 weeks after fertilization.
HB 954 will prohibit abortions when the probable gestational age of the unborn child is found to be 20 weeks or more except when a physician has deemed a pregnancy "medically futile," meaning that "in reasonable medical judgment, the unborn child has a profound and irremediable congenital or chromosomal anomaly that is incompatible with sustaining life after birth," or in reasonable medical judgment, the abortion is necessary for one of the following reasons:
*To avert the death of the pregnant woman or to avert serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment to a major bodily function of the pregnant woman. A claim of a mental or emotional condition or that the pregnant woman will harm herself does not satisfy this provision; OR
*To preserve the life of an unborn child. This change would allow an abortion in the rare case where one was necessary to save the life of one or more unborn babies in a pregnancy of twins or multiples.
When an abortion is performed on or after 20 weeks pursuant to one of these two exceptions, the physician must terminate the pregnancy in the manner which, in reasonable medical judgment, provides the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive, unless that manner would pose a greater risk of either the death of the pregnant woman or substantial and irreversible physical impairment to a major bodily function of the pregnant woman.
I will continue to support legislation that seeks to protect the rights of our most precious, unborn citizens and legislation which prohibits valuable taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions in our state.
Telemarketing Oversight
HB 1132 will add new language regulating telemarketing and solicitation services made into and within the State of Georgia. Stipulations in this bill require telemarketers to clearly identify themselves or the entity making the call.
Additionally, Caller ID services may not be blocked or disabled by the telemarketer or solicitation service and the number displayed must be an actual working number with an accurate identity of the caller. There are a few exemptions to the requirements including existing commercial relationships.
Violations of these laws may result in $10 fines per violation and are subject to class action status.
Criminal Justice Reform
HB 1176, a comprehensive sentencing and corrections reform bill, promises to save Georgia taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, move low-level offenders permanently out of the system, and improve overall public safety.
The overall intention of HB 1176 is to strengthen penalties for violent and career criminals, while providing more effective punishments for low-level drug users and property offenders. The creation of a rehabilitation-based system for low-level offenders will free up prison space in order to keep the most dangerous offenders behind bars.
Specific initiatives of HB 1176 include creating a tougher process for probation and parole supervision, expanding proven community-based sentencing options to reduce recidivism (such as accountability courts and substance abuse and mental health programs), and holding agencies accountable for better results by implementing systematic data collection and performance measurement systems.
HB 1176 places Georgia in the company of more than a dozen states-including Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arkansas and Kentucky-that are currently implementing criminal justice policies designed to improve public safety, hold offenders accountable, and control corrections costs.
This legislation is the product of more than six months of work by the Special Council on Criminal Justice Reform for Georgians. This bipartisan, inter-branch Council conducted an in-depth analysis of the state's sentencing and corrections data and met with a wide range of stakeholders including victim advocates, sheriffs, prosecutors and county officials. Members of a special joint legislative committee approved this bill before sending it to the Georgia House of Representatives where the bill passed unanimously.

KDE Sub-Project for Real Time Communication
Chat, instant messaging and video communication: the KDE Real Time Communication and Collaboration (RTCC) project wants to improve the integration of real time communication into the desktop environment.
Londoner and developer, George Goldberg, and his colleagues Abner Silva and Matt Rogers, have presented their plans in the KDE Wiki. They see the integration of real time communication as an important goal for KDE version 4. Stand-alone messaging clients, available to date, are poorly integrated into the desktop experience.
The RTCC project wants to use the free desktop framework Telepathy
Telepathy, that uses the D bus interface, to create a new infrastructure. Also, the developers plan to use existing code from apps like Kopete as much as possible.
First goal is to produce an instant messenger, similar to Kopete but with superior connectivity with other KDE components. Then voice and video. The sum goal of the vision is a variety of practical RTCC components that can be integrated into many different KDE applications.
The RTCC project are looking for volunteers, whereby knowledge of C++ is not entirely necessary. Contact can be made via the mailing list, or the channel #telepathy on the freenode IRC network.
Voice and video
KDE , Kopete and this new effort are all way too much lagging Empathy, pidgin .... in support of voice and video.
KDE announcements always show the bright future, but nothing in the present. some of us ordinary users are awaiting since... forever

The gold price hit its low shortly after 9:00 a.m. in Hong Kong on their Thursday morning...and then rallied unsteadily right until the 8:20 a.m. Comex open in New York. But as it was about to break above the $1,400 spot price mark, a seller showed up...and gold got sold down until shortly before noon EDT. The subsequent rally lasted until the 1:30 p.m. Comex close, before selling off a few dollars going into the 5:15 p.m. EDT close.
The Hong Kong low was around the $1,358 spot mark...and the high at 8:30 a.m. in New York, as recorded by Kitco, was $1,399,80 spot. After three days of price activity, it should be obvious to all and sundry that the $1,400 spot price mark is being defended...but for what reason, is unknown.
Gold closed at $1,391.60 spot...up $21.90 on the day. Volume, net of roll-overs, was pretty heavy...around 185,000 contracts.
It was more or less the same chart pattern in silver, except the spike low of the day [around $21.98 spot] came at exactly 10:00 a.m. Hong Kong time. The subsequent rally got turned lower at 8:30 a.m. EDT...and silver's New York low [$22.14 spot] came at 11:30 a.m.. The rally from that point ended a few minutes after the Comex close...and silver traded sideways from that point onward. The high tick came in the New York Access Market sometime...and Kitco recorded that as $22.81 spot.
Silver closed the Thursday session at $22.63 spot...up 36 cents from Wednesday's close. Gross volume was a very healthy 49,000 contracts.
The dollar index closed on Wednesday at 84.28...and rallied to its high of the day of 84.49 at 9:00 a.m. in Hong Kong. It was all down hill from there...and the low of the day [83.65] came at 12:00 o'clock noon right on the button in New York. The index gained back a few basis points going into the close...finishing the Thursday session at 83.75...down 53 basis points from Wednesday's close.
I carefully noted that despite the fact that the dollar index fell 75 basis points from its high to its low, it appears that the precious metal prices fall faster on dollar rallies, than they rise on dollar declines. That phenomenon was very visible in precious metal prices yesterday and Wednesday. And if you examined the New York Spot [Bid] charts for both metal yesterday, it's clear that the silver rally ended at precisely 11:30...and was in rally mode from that point...and gold hit its low about the same time...and traded sideways until shortly after 12 o'clock noon in New York.
The gold stocks gapped up over 2 percent at the open...and then chopped lower until gold put in its low at 11:30 a.m. in New York. From that point they rallied a bit before chopping sideways into the close. The HUI finished up 0.83%...a very poor performance considering the size of the price gain.
The silver stocks followed the same price pattern as the gold stocks...and Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment Index closed up only 0.49%.

The CME's Daily Delivery Report showed that 25 gold and 10 silver contracts were posted for delivery on Monday.
Once again there was a withdrawal from GLD. This time an authorized participant withdrew 48,340 troy ounces. There were no reported withdrawals from SLV.
There was no sales report from the U.S. Mint.
It was a busy day for silver over at the Comex-approved depositories on Wednesday, as 1,149,707 troy ounces were reported received, but only 60,354 troy ounces of the stuff were shipped out the door. The link to that activity is here.
In gold, these same depositories didn't report receiving any gold, but shipped out 64,136 troy ounces. The link to that activity is here.

Because I'm out of town for the next five days, I've attempted to cut down on the stories as much as possible.
Jim calls it like it is when interviewed by Max Keiser on Russia Today yesterday. The video was posted on the youtube.com Internet site...and is well worth watching. The interview begins at the 12:00 minute mark. I thank reader Harold Jacobsen for today's first story.
The stock of capital flowing into emerging markets has doubled from $4 trillion to $8 trillion since the Lehman Crisis, chasing a catch-up growth story that looks tired and has largely sputtered out in Brazil, Russia and South Africa.
Much of the money has gone into debt, with falling economic returns. This is the next shoe to drop in the festering saga of global imbalances. All it will take is a gear-shift by the US Federal Reserve and the inevitable dollar surge that follows. It was the Volcker Fed that set off Latin America's defaults in the early 1980s. It was the mighty dollar that set off Mexico's Tequila crisis, and then the East Asian chain-reaction in the 1990s.
"Every emerging market blow-up that I have seen was preceded by a rise in the dollar," said Albert Edwards for Société Générale .
"Investors overlook how vulnerable these countries are to a dollar shock. The whole process of excess liquidity and foreign reserve build-up goes into reverse. It acts like monetary tightening and turns into a vicious circle. Markets look for the weak link with the worst current account deficit, and then the dominoes start to fall," he said.

Austerity is out after the euro-area recession extended to a sixth quarter. Stimulus isn't yet in.That was the something-for-everyone message from European leaders at a summit in Brussels yesterday. All touted a previously announced 6 billion-euro ($7.7 billion), seven-year initiative to fight youth unemployment, now at 24 percent. National governments won't put up more cash, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
"It's not a matter of money," Merkel told reporters after the summit. "It's a matter of looking at how to spend this money most productively."
The 17-nation euro area's nonstop contraction since the third quarter of 2011 has left the European Central Bank to try to mitigate the damage by cutting interest rates and exploring unconventional ways of channeling money to needy companies, especially in the south.

Large depositors in the EU will from 2016 be in line to suffer losses if a bank gets into serious trouble, but deposits under €100,000 should be fully protected, MEPs in the economic affairs committee voted late on Monday (20 May).
"The bail-in of any creditors should be done according to a clear hierarchy, with depositors with savings over €100,000 last in line, whilst deposits under €100,000 would be fully protected," said Green economic and finance spokesperson Philippe Lamberts in a statement.
The votes amended the European Commission's bank recovery and resolution proposal.
The devil is, as they say, in the details...and there is quite a bit in the fine print...which you'll soon discover if you read this euobserver.com story from yesterday...and I thank Roy Stephens for his second story in today's column.
The European Commission has been forced to beat a hasty retreat from a proposed ban on jugs of olive oil in restaurants after the idea met with widespread ridicule.
Barely a week after it was announced for "hygiene" and "consumer protection" purposes, the EU commissioner in charge, Dacian Ciolos, rushed to the same press room on Thursday (23 May) to announce he was withdrawing the measure.
Referring to the "quite strong reactions", Ciolos said he had decided to "not submit it for adoption."
The proposal would have banned jugs and dipping bowls of olive oil in restaurants from next year and was meant to prevent restaurant-goers from being served any old inferior oil.
This is from the top drawer of the "You can't make this stuff up" filing cabinet...and was posted on the euobserver.com Internet site late yesterday afternoon Europe time...and it's Roy Stephens' third offering of the day.
Yields on 10-year Japanese bonds (JGBs) have doubled in a month and spiked dramatically to 1pc on Thursday, triggering a 7.3pc crash in the Nikkei stock index. It was the biggest one-day fall since the tsunami two years ago, comparable with wild moves seen at the height of the Asian crisis in 1998.
The contagion effect set off a retreat from stocks across the world, though Wall Street later pared losses. The iTraxx Crossover or "fear gauge" for corporate bonds jumped 25 points to 392.
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) intervened with $20bn (£13bn) to drive down yields again but the failure to ensure an orderly debt market has started to rattle investors. Banks, pension funds and insurers appear to be dumping JGBs for fear of being caught on the wrong side of a bond rout.
Richard Koo from Nomura, an expert on Japan's Lost Decade, said the sell-off in recent days has shown that the BoJ may not be able to hold down yields "no matter how many bonds it buys". This could lead to a "loss of faith in the Japanese government" and the "beginning of the end" for its economy, if handled badly.

In his market letter for May, commodities fund manager John Butler of Amphora Capital in London describes the rationales and mechanisms of surreptitious currency market intervention by central banks, rationales and mechanisms that will be familiar to anyone who follows the gold market with even the slightest skepticism.
Drawing on a long conversation he had years ago with his professor of international economics in graduate school, a professor who was a former high U.S. Treasury Department official, Butler writes that supporting the U.S. dollar amid suppression of interest rates well may involve surreptitious suppression of the price of gold:
"The United States may have little in the way of foreign exchange reserves but it has a huge pile of gold reserves -- the world's largest, in fact. If the U.S. were to set about covertly intervening to support the dollar amid artificially low interest rates, therefore, it would make far more sense to do so through covert intervention in the gold market. Should they follow my former professor's advice, they would sell gold into the market at relatively illiquid times for maximum price effect. They would do so repeatedly until certain technical chart patterns turned in favor of the dollar and against gold, establishing a new trend. And if they succeeded, no one need ever know."
Central bankers, Butler notes, are very skilled tape painters.
With Butler's kind permission, the May edition of his letter, the Amphora Report, is posted at GATA's Internet site. It's a must read for sure...and I thank Chris Powell for wordsmithing the above introduction.
Gold capped the biggest gain in almost a month on signs that Chinese manufacturing will slow in May for the first time in seven months, sparking a drop in global equities and increased demand for bullion as a protection of wealth.
The preliminary reading for a Chinese purchasing managers' index missed analysts' estimates and came in below the level of 50, indicating a contraction. Commodities and stocks retreated, with Japanese equities falling the most since the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster two years ago. Bullion also gained as the dollar declined the most in more than a month against a basket of currencies.
"Nervous investors are turning to gold as everything else looks very bleak today," Carlos Perez-Santalla, a broker at Marex North America LLC, said in a telephone interview from New York. "The weakness in the dollar is supportive for gold."

The yuan rose 0.6 percent this month, the best performance in Asia, as Premier Li Keqiang signaled China will unveil a plan on capital-account convertibility this year. People's Bank of China Deputy Governor Yi Gang said in April the yuan's trading band will be widened "in the near future." The central bank sets a daily reference rate for the currency, which can diverge from the fixing by a maximum 1 percent.
China may double the band within a year, Ma Jun, chief economist for Greater China at Deutsche Bank AG, said at a press conference in Singapore on May 22. The nation has designated Qianhai district of Shenzhen, a city that borders Hong Kong, as a testing ground for freer cross-border yuan usage. The yuan climbed as much as 0.1 percent today to a 19-year high of 6.1279 per dollar in Shanghai after the central bank strengthened its fixing by 0.13 percent to a record 6.1867.
A wider trading range for the currency will spur trading and hedging in gold denominated in it, China Gold & Silver's Cheung said. The society may seek cooperation with Qianhai Authority in steps to develop yuan-based bullion trading, such as building a vault for the precious metal, he said.

Goldbroker's Fabrice Drouin Ristori interviewed GATA's secretary/treasurer about gold market manipulation the other day, leading off with the question of how long it can continue. This interview was posted on the goldbroker.com Internet site yesterday.
This short, but terrific commentary by David Banister from The Market Trend Forecast was posted on the etfdailynew.com Internet site on Tuesday...and is definitely worth reading. I thank reader Ken Hurt for bringing it to our attention.
Bron Suchecki of the Perth Mint reviews U.S. commodity trading regulations and concludes that they're too complicated and full of loopholes to result in any sensible interpretation that might be applied against market manipulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
"What the market needs," Suchecki writes, "is straightforward, common-sense rules that everyone knows in advance. ... Or just drop the pretense and go free-for-all law of the jungle. Having interest rates this low doesn't help, as speculators have minimal cost in holding a position for a long time (until it blows up) or taking on large positions. This just adds to the volatility. Time to give up on the CFTC being able to control this."
Suchecki's commentary is headlined "Time to Give Up on the CFTC" and it's posted at the 24hGold.com Internet site. I found this commentary in a GATA release from yesterday evening Vancouver time.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SYH) owns a 100% interest in approximately 400,000 acres of land between seven uranium properties in the uranium rich Athabasca Basin region in northern Saskatchewan. Six of the properties consisting of approximately 388,000 acres of prospective ground are strategically located near the Alpha Minerals (TSX.V: AMW) and Fission Energy (TSX.V: FIS) Patterson Lake South (PLS) uranium discovery area. The properties were acquired for their proximity to the PLS discovery and interpreted favourable geology for the occurrence of PLS style uranium mineralization. Skyharbour's land position is now one of the largest in the Patterson Lake area. The Athabasca Basin hosts the world's largest and richest high-grade uranium deposits accounting for approximately 20% of global primary uranium supply. There are still areas in the region that are highly prospective and underexplored as illustrated by the new 49.5 metres of 6.26% U3O8 discovery at the Patterson Lake South property.

There are no markets anymore...only interventions. - Chris Powell, GATA
It was another day where gold wasn't allowed to close over the $1,400 price mark...and silver wasn't allowed a sniff of the $23 price level. We've seen these sort of 'holding patterns' before...and one has to wonder how long this particular one will last...and how it will end. There certainly was a lot of volume...and I would expect that the lion's share of it would have been of the HFT variety.
Today, at 3:30 p.m. EDT, we get the new Commitment of Traders Report for positions held at the close of Comex trading on Tuesday...and as I opined earlier this week, I will be very interested in seeing whether or not the volume numbers from the big price decline on Monday will be included. That is the first thing that I'll be looking for when I check the report. Ted figures that, all things being equal, there could have been as much as a 20,000 contract improvement in gold...and around 5,000 contract change in silver. That would be wonderful...but whatever the numbers are, I'll have them for you in tomorrow's column.
Not much happened during the Friday trading session in the Far East on their Friday...and the same thing can be said for the first hour of trading in London. Net volume in gold is about average for this time of day...and silver's volume is on the lighter side. The dollar index, as of 4:06 a.m., is basically flat.
And as I hit the 'send' button on today's column at 5:05 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, gold is trading down a couple of bucks from Thursday's close...and silver is down about 15 cents. Volumes are slightly higher in gold...and still very light in silver. The dollar index is now down about 21 basis points.
Since this is the last trading day of the week, it's normally a day when we have great price 'volatility'...and it remains to be seen if that pans out today with the long weekend coming up in the U.S.A. I'll be watching the goings-on in New York with great interest when I get up later this morning.
I wish all my American readers a safe and happy Memorial Day long weekend...and I'll see you here tomorrow.

Sequestration: Impact on National Parks
Part four of a four-part series on the impacts of Sequestration in Montgomery County. National historic parks, such as the one at Valley Forge, will see an impact should sequester not be stopped by midnight Thursday.
If heading to Valley Forge National Historic Park is on your to-do list this summer, you might need to double check the schedule. Due to sequestration, parks like Valley Forge may have staffing and hours on the "chopping block."
"Every park in the system would be affected, including treasured places like Gettysburg, Independence Hall and Valley Forge, and the local economies that depend on visitor spending would also suffer," said Cinda Waldbuesser, senior Pennsylvania program manager for the National Parks Conservation Association in a recent release. "National parks are economic drivers for local communities. Over the last two years, Pennsylvania's national parks have welcomed more than eight million visitors, generating $325,000,000 in economic benefits."
During a Monday press conference, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar agreed.
"People who visit parks need transportation, meals to eat," he said. "[Parks] help to support business and provide jobs in local communities. Reduced services would have a direct impact on local communities' businesses which depend on income from visitors."
Salazar said the national parks system fears "looming sequester" cuts.
"This is a self-inflicted wound to our economy, and to middle-class families," he said. "Only Congress can stop this."
Throughout the nation, Salazar said that parks will be forced to reduce hours and services, not just at national parks but at all facilities operated by the Department of the Interior.
Valley Forge's business manager, Patrick Madden, said he was not "at liberty to talk about sequester cuts at this point." He directed press, as instructed, to speak with Director of National Park Services Jonathan Jarvis.
"The National Parks Service is a bureau run for the people," said Jarvis. "We are being asked to take a full year of cuts in the second-half of our year."
Jarvis explained that absorbing a five-percent reduction in funding will actually feel like a 10-percent change due to the shortened time frame. With the fiscal year half over, such changes will have to happen at a rapid pace.
"March is when we open parks that we usually run in the summer," said Jarvis. "Places like Independence Hall will have to cut half of its interactive programs. Gettysburg, with its 150th anniversary this year, will have reduced programs, and 2,400 kids will not be able to participate in its programs."
While many think sequestration was "not to happen," Jarvis reminded the public that its effects are already being shown.
"These impacts are real," he said. "Contracts [for summer/seasonal hires] come into place on March 1. We've already implemented sequester by not allowing those contracts to go forward."
The parks system said it will strive not to impact its full-time employees with sequestration reductions in funding.
"Anyone that might be furloughed would get a 30-day notice," said Salazar. "Thousands of employees will have to be furloughed, some for long periods of time. Decisions will be made this week and next that have a real impact on people."
The department feels the greatest impact will be on the seasonal employee hires.
"I came in on Jan. 20, 2009, with the president, and we have focused on creating opportunities for young people to work in our parks, all over this country," said Salazar. "In 2012, we had 22,000 youth ages 15 to 25, many being seasonal. We're not going to be able to do that anymore if we can't get through this sequester."
Jarvis explained parks' budgets are made up of 85 to 90 percent of "fixed costs."
"You have to pay employees, you have to put gas in your vehicles, cover search and rescue operations," he said. "That last bit of budget you can make decisions about each year, and that even depends on the weather. Maybe you need trees and branches picked up or snow plowed, that is a big percent of the park's operating budget [front-line visitor services]."
With very little that can be adjusted without major impact, the parks system has not yet decided on exact changes.
Congress has until midnight Thursday to make a decision on sequester.

Secretary Jarvis of course oversimplifies when he claims "Only Congress can stop this." You would think The White House has nothing to do with the entire sequestration process. In fact this sequestration, put into effect as part of the 2011 debt ceiling negotiations, was The White House's idea.
And just as Congress needs to act, The President must show leadership on the Democrats' side - along with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi - to finally come up with some serious budget cuts, instead of simply demanding more revenue.
2:30 pm on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Such B.S.!!! So far, all I have heard is all these bureaucrats complaing about the cuts that are coming. How about just doing your job!! If you add up all the cuts that these people are promising, no one would be paying federal income taxes. Just today, the President, losing the PR fight, has backed off his doom and gloom projections. The cuts are actually about $45 Billion this year and they are not cuts, but a reduction in the increase of spending. If that is hard for you to understand, you get a 3% pay raise every year, and now your boss tells you you will only get 2% this year. OOPS, there goes the mortgage payment, car payment, and no food on the table. Give me a break. OMG, the internet will fail, on wait the fed's haven't taken that over yet.

The "self-inflicted wound" of sequester is from out of control spending. Obamacare spending is $1.1 trillion dollars over 10 years. Do the math. Obamacare is the payment of 12 sequesters.
10:42 pm on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Just close the park for a week's vacation between now and the next fiscal budget the Obama Administration passes. Oh that's right Obama has never passed a budget in 4 years.

Another useless article that fails to mention actual numbers. Why don't you tell us (in absolute terms) how many dollars the Parks Service had last year, and how many they have this year, even with the cuts. I'll bet it is still higher. Instead we only get estimated "economic impact" number, which are worthless, and unverifiable. Where are the real numbers? Why won't you talk about them? Let us see the facts, and decide for ourselves whether it's a "cut".

Jim, The National Park Service has all that information available to the public on their website: http://www.nps.gov/aboutus/budget.htm
And as mentioned by jxjipper, NPS has been on a continuing resolution for a few years now, so really acting on no budget.

If they just shot all the groundhogs and deer eating Federal grass or tunneling in Federal dirt, and eating Federal bark trampling Federal brush without paying their fare share. Can you imagine we have not found a single agency Czar that has been willing to take on Punxatawny Phil's brethren? Fair Share. Fair Share.

2.8% cut from a scheduled increase in funding over half a year! The government waste alone us much more than that. The Obamanation that has become our government should hang it's collective head in shame! How dare they use fear and derision as a means to their end. Stalin, Hitler, and a host of others have tried it before and at some point people woke up and stood up and began beliving thier minds rather than the state owned press. Wake up America! Your Lives are a stake here!

Tell them to stick the "sequestration" up their A$$. How much money do you think they waste paying some political appointee to sit around and think up this garbage.
Vote them all out.

Our Terry Ettinger visits the construction site for the new Gateway Building at SUNY-ESF. The architects have worked hard to create a building that is a model of energy efficiency.
The SUNY-ESF Gateway Center is a very energy efficient building.
"That is achieved through a combination of how the building envelope, as we call it, the walls and foundation and the roof are heavily insulated and protected from unwanted solar gain but capturing a lot of daylight in desirable ways and very energy-efficient systems," explained Ellen Watts, Principal with Architera, Inc.
The length of the wall faces due west, which normally means a lot of heat and glare from an afternoon sun.
Watts said, "So we cured that by creating walls that are serrated. We call them flipper walls. They're not moveable but they look as though they might have flapped into their form and the virtue of that wall is it makes the building entirely south facing where we can shade that with an overhang and allow daylight to come in the winter but be fully cutoff from coming in, in the summer."
For the windows that do face west, they are ventilated at the top and bottom, so they can be opened in the summer to circulate the air, and the building won't heat up like a greenhouse. Inside the building, roof monitors allow a lot of daylight through south and east facing vertical glass, so energy using lights are only needed at night, and on gloomy days. Below the tile is a concrete slab.
As Watt's explained, "And that concrete slab has massive amounts of plastic tubing in it and that tubing is carrying a radiant circulating system to use the mass of the building to deliver the heat and to hold the heat. It's a more energy-efficient system than heating by air that is common in contemporary construction."
On top of the building, there is a 10,000 square-foot garden roof. The significant insulation under the green roof and the planting medium, and the plants themselves, help to insulate it. That lowers the energy load, which has to be supplied by renewable energy. Everything works together to create one very efficient building.

Southwest Georgia Ethanol has temporarily stopped production at its ethanol facility in Mitchell County.
This decision came as a result of bad market conditions which spawn from the drought in the mid-west. The poor mid-west harvest led to an increase in corn prices.
"We're still shipping but we've already stopped. We're going to be purchasing local corn for farmers to plant and deliver here for 2013," says Murry Campbell, President of Southwest Georgia Ethanol.
Campbell expects predicts ethanol production will start for sure by the next corn harvest.

Arrested Development.
IFC airs three comedy programs that I feel have held up remarkably well with time, "Larry Sanders Show"(1992-98), "Ben Stiller Show"(1992-93) and "Mr Show"(1995-98). In terms of newer programs...slim pickings out there.
i've seen every episode of mr. show, and always wanted to see the other two you mention here in their entirety. just never really got around to it. i recall watching a few episodes of the ben stiller show when i was a kid, but i didn't view it steadily or anything. i have some catch-up to do.
News Radio- It doesn't come on TV anymore, but it's one of my favorite sitcoms aside from Seinfeld.
good tv... some would go for the quick joke and say good tv is an oxymoron. For me, I have 2 points of view: is it fun and did I find it compelling. Right now for fun I like a few shows including Justified, Supernatural, Hung, Californication, and Dexter. A fun show I wish has lasted longer was named Firefly... god fx made a mistake there. For compelling I like Southland (although I have not seen the recent season), I liked The Practice, before it became so contrived I like the series Land and Order. For off beat comedies I liked a show by the locally nefarious Michael Moore named TV Nation. The episode with the serial killer neighbor was hilarious.
Netlfix is going to start streaming Mad Men so I'm going to start watching that. [an aside rant - its so idiotic that you can't choose which channels you want a la carte and have a cable tv cafeteria plan, damn time warner]
[an aside rant - its so idiotic that you can't choose which channels you want a la carte and have a cable tv cafeteria plan, damn time warner]
Damn them all!
straight to hell.
I watch Fringe, The Event and House regularly, plus Dog Whisperer, all on Hulu. I bought a Roku ($75 or so with shipping) to control my Hulu/Netflicks and a bunch of other internet sites through my TV, so now I pickup the newscasts and shows I want the day after they play on live TV, scrolling around with a remote.
Which means I only pay $29.95/mo for the broadband through AT&T (as opposed to the almost $80.00 that Comcast wanted for essentially the same thing and thats for 3mbps. You want 5, you pay $5 more.
The Roku is totally worth it. Michael and I both bought one last year. Tons of free content is available. Damn, Comcast is expensive in your market. I think cable tv and satellite is a waste of money anymore.
I watch Fringe, <snip>Anagrammy

"That's sort of how Facebook usually works," he said. "They'll test features, then they'll implement them all in the native app."
How will users react to such an app, were Facebook to launch one? Privacy advocate Polonetsky said that remains to be seen.
"The reality is that, for most people, even if things are broadcast to all their friends and the public, they still have some expectation about the way that it's used," he said. "I totally get that my neighbor knows when I come and go and may even say, 'We haven't seen you in a while -- is everything OK?'
"But if someone else seemed to know about my comings and goings and offered me a product or service based on it? I don't know."

I accepted a scarf, just normal scarf, but this is not a normal smcaf, this is something round, you just put it on your neck, you can't tie the scarf, you just can wear it like a necklace. I live in Russia it's very cold in winter here and I accepted warm scarf, not a cold strange thing.

California AG Harris Urges Mobile App PrivacyLaw Technology News 2013-01-14 15:23:09.0 Note: This story has been updated with information about BitDefender. -EK New privacy guidelines are available to help mobile application developers protect their customers, California Attorney General Kamala Harris said Thursday. In a free report, "Privacy on the Go: Recommendations for the Mobile Ecosystem", Harris' team outlines the minimum steps that developers can take to comply with California online privacy laws and to help customers protect their data. The report follows other announcements from Harris, in 2012, that notable companies Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., Google Inc., Facebook Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Microsoft Corp., and Research In Motion Ltd. pledged to follow privacy guidelines. Among the recommendations, the report states that developers should ensure that privacy policies are easily found before apps are installed; lean toward only requiring personal information that is absolutely necessary; never share a user's data without prominently informing them; and do not keep data longer than it's effectively needed to run the application. The recommendations are equally important for advertisers, device makers, and phone network companies, the report notes. The public report is just the latest step in a mobile privacy crackdown by Harris. She announced in October that companies have been notified if their mobile applications do not comply with California privacy laws. Harris then sued Delta Airlines Inc. in December. "Losing your personal privacy should not be the cost of using mobile apps, but all too often it is, said said at the time. California law is clear that mobile apps collecting personal information need privacy policies, and that the users of those apps deserve to know what is being done with their personal information." Missing from Harris' arsenal is directory of smartphone and tablet applications that sufficiently protect the privacy of users. Representatives from her office were not available to comment Friday. Mobile application privacy is also being discussed on the federal level. The Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications & Information Administration has a hearing planned in Washington, D.C., on Jan 17, while the Federal Trade Commission issued a report about privacy in mobile applications for children in December. A website called WhatApp? made by the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society launched in 2010 to let users post and check an application's privacy and security status, but the site is no longer working. The website indicates that "WhatApp? has been taken down and we're currently working on an even better version." Stanford is currently transitioning the project to Charles Belle, executive director of the privacy and technology project at the University of California - Hastings. Belle said he team is evaluating the future of WhatApp? and is not yet ready to say how or when it will re-launch. Separately, a company called MobileScope is developing a website that tells users what personal information their devices and applications are receiving and sharing, while Security vendor BitDefender has an iPhone app called Clueful for the same purpose.
