LEXINGTON — In a close game, Oldham County High School pulled out a win in the first round of state championship play Thursday.
OCHS defeated Bowling Green High School 55-48 at Rupp Arena during open rounds of the KHSAA Boys' Sweet Sixteen Basketball Tournament.
"Coming in we knew it was gonna be a great game because Bowling Green's a good team," OCHS Coach Jason Holland said. "We tried to slow them down and I was proud of my guys for battling for 32 minutes."
Guys and gals, welcome to our 13th Grand Stamm — LIVE! chat, set for Friday, March 9 at 3 p.m.
I hope you enjoyed last week's chat, with Oldham County High School boys' basketball senior forward Tyler Wesley, whose Colonels take on Bowling Green at noon today in the Sweet 16 at Rupp Arena. He leads the state in blocked shots.
We've got somewhat of a return guest. Well, actually, it's another attempt at a past guest.
Once one of the eighth region's leaders, Nicole Bryant could only spectate the eighth region championship game on Sunday.
A series of injuries derailed what could have been a banner season for the North Oldham High School senior forward.
Bryant concluded her high school girls' basketball career with a 78-43 loss to South Oldham in the 29th district basketball tournament.
She's a testament to strong-will and has displayed a willingness to not give up even though she had every opportunity to do so.
Their faces are somber, and they've shed a few tears.
The Oldham County All-Stars basketball team just lost its first game of the season. It came in the state tournament no less.
But coach Bob Osmer isn't concerned with the outcome.
He looks each player in the eye and asks one question: "Did you try your best?"
Two Oldham County teams, the All-Stars and the Eagles, both concluded their seasons March 3 at the Special Olympics state basketball tournament at Hoops Indoor Sports Complex in Louisville.
LOUISVILLE — Inside Broadbent Arena, it sounds like a stampede.
But there's no cattle or horses.
It's the sound of runners at full speed on an elevated wooden track with banked corners and older than the Nixon administration.
A number of Oldham middle school and high school runners conquered the track March 2 and 3 at the Mason-Dixon Games at Broadbent Arena in Louisville. Albeit with a few repairs, the track is the same used in the first running of the games in 1960.
A couple of big guns are training for football in the same place Oldham County children compete.
Linebacker Dexter Heyman, who just finished his senior season at the University of Louisville, stretches March 1 at the Oldham County YMCA's indoor arena.
Guys and gals, welcome to our 13th Grand Stamm — LIVE! chat, set for Friday, March 9 at 3:30 p.m.
I apologize for not having a chat last week, but our scheduled guest, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback and former University of Kentucky star Trevard Lindley had to cancel to seek shelter Friday in the storms that swept through the area. I'll still try to reschedule Lindley to join us here.
But we're back this week and with a big guest!
The idea came up casually in conversation at Goose Creek Cycle in La Grange.
Somebody wanted a road bike race. Somebody chimed in with cyclocross.
Cyclocross? In La Grange?
Two weeks later, it happened.
The eight race La Grange Urban Short Track Series combined urban assault, cyclocross and mountain biking and took bikers across pavement, dirt, grass, gravel and wood.
The first course took bikers around Mundo Park and back to Main Street through a narrow 42-inch alley next to The Treasured Child toy store.
It's been another busy week of sports in Oldham County.
Catch another edition of this week's Sports Primer again in podcast format.
Each week, you can find an updated podcast with a rundown on the content in The Oldham Era's sports section, plus any other updates.
And just a reminder to check out Friday's Grand Stamm—LIVE! with special guest, Oldham County High School senior forward Tyler Wesley. I'll be announcing the time officially on my Facebook page, The Oldham Era's Sports Guy.
NEW CASTLE — With 11.8 seconds remaining in the game, the chants came roaring from the Oldham County High School student section.
"Rupp! A-re-na! Rupp, Rupp A-re-na!"
The Colonels are once again eighth region boys' basketball champions after pulling away Tuesday night for a 50-40 victory over Martha Layne Collins in the eighth region championship game at Henry County High School.

There are nights like these
Where I get so lonely that I can't sleep
So I spend my dreams out here by the street
Or in the damp grass beneath the trees
Looking for something I'll never see.
But it feels so warm in these memories,
I don't ever want to leave.
Like marble carved and cracked into seams
The statue finds in place in me
Though I should never rest like stone.
I am just a shadow bound below
Damned to spin yet never to go
Anywhere that light may be.
This may be just an open field
But you should see the people here:
Their joy's so loud it almost sounds near.
And these feelings fall like scrawling leaves
I just can't tell if it's them or me
Who's stuck in this ink.
Am I mad? Has something in me lost its hold and I'm now spiraling into a decay merely North-Northwest of my life? I suppose its fit for one so lost in himself that he cannot attend what his flesh may. My heart protests nearly every effort to stand, yet my conscience knows all too well of Melancholy's fallacy. I have no reason to feel this way, or to doubt myself with such intensity, yet the aches persist. I'm becoming more detached, and it's not even intentional. Perhaps we hold this innate desire to rue in self-pity and pessimism? I sure revel in it. My rationality wants to secure myself that I can become something, and that these worries are but frivolous contemplation of neurosis. However, I know better than to accept my own authority…I've been rousing that rebellion my whole life. It's at times like these that I wish I could hear you speak, perhaps then I'd escape this quicksand of a feeling. Then again, in my shoes, could you keep your head afloat? What of I to you? I could just as well lull myself in clothing anchored to the sinking blue. But avast ye digression! Who am I to blame if my doubts prevail (for as a poison, I've known them well; quicksilver lacks fervor in such comparisons!) and I make it no further than the front door? I suspect my murder follows me into the mirror…
My endless, unrelated, unconscious, and at times unrelenting absurdity compelled itself to formulate such a future. No matter what the base may be raised to, the line will eventually meet a point, and all else behind led to it. Then this, itself, can be a battle yet won. (Determinism sits in my stomach with about as much comfort as father's discovery of unwrapped condoms in his daughter's shower) Yet I know the target of this arrow has distance to cover. I destine myself to change this world, to impact it, yet I bite my own ankle. Thus, this battle in my head, its something I have anticipated—begged. A quarrel so rich and challenging that I may stay entertained a while longer.
And all blows aside, I'm still intrigued: am I crazy? Have I lost sight of what they see and what I act? I search the ruins of discourse and only find frustration in loneliness. Though, not by eradication do the fields turn hallow, but by a pestilent laziness. Is that asking to much? Is it beyond reason to wish for passion and commitment in progressing modes of knowledge? Aye, and what an ass am I to swim such rivers of pedantry to be angered by such a sight! To hark at a void of wasted potential, thinking that I'm fit enough to escape it. But does that secure my insanity? Surely, in a blind world, the man with capable eyes is anything but sane..but should I be ever so lucky? Nay. I bleed no less than the man next to me, but why must I feel the way I do? It is as if I desire impossibilities, and double the heart-ache for being so naive. Alas! I forgot! You! I'm certain that you've seen, haven't you? Perhaps we are not blind, and perhaps there is hope. Despondency held it's own in the keeping of demise of that plane. But if you are able, this does not qualify myself. I can only indulge in faith towards in a mirror, hoping that any precedent alone can eventually flutter to us all.
In conclusion, what restraints have these jackets to my mind? And of the horror that defeats the rest? None. Perhaps another day I can best myself further, and continue to excel, but where would I be without moments like these? Surely, the world needs gadflies. In simpler words: What is sweet with out any sense sour? Naught.
I find myself so utterly indifferent sometimes, so apathetic at instances that it is utterly pathetic. I have every thing I could need, stability, honor, strands of respect, potential, yet I'm discontent. I think I've finally understood why, too. You've felt this way before, haven't you? I remember but a year ago, how strong I was this day. I had centered myself, and brought myself strength by my own accord. It seems, however, that the year itself diverted my attention. More and more, I digressed from what kept me true, from what kept me actually stable. It was as if I've been running from a reflection in light's opposition. I let "life" get in the way, and fell into a plane besides reality—but no longer shall I be found meddling in such affairs. I mean, honestly, hasn't this carefully structured "life" ever bored you? We're a civilization without Gadflies, and nothing to test the ramparts. I don't believe I shall remain with the mundane. I should set out on my fascination with the absurdity of the world, and the interesting nature of individuals. Among the listless crowds, there is bound to be an opportunity to find me, and an opportunity for you to find you. I mean, a refined reality and mind is nothing more than a mirror to the other—it is what we need, what we crave. And such is understood, and admired. What is there to do one found but enjoy what there is to revel in, however? To exist, to explore, and anything else more is just trivial. There is no end other than death; there is always a rock to push up a hill. So even at times like this, I suppose I should have a degree of happiness. It's like a wise man once said, regarding melancholy: "Enjoy it, while you can." It's never struct more truth, really. Everything is beautiful—especially the decline. Farewell, and enjoy your night, for me?

USA Basketball improved to 4-0 in exhibition play beating Argentina 86-80 Sunday afternoon in Barcelona, Spain.
Kevin Durant led the United States with 27 points and made seven 3-pointers in the game including a dagger with 2:40 left to put the U.S. up 81-74.
Manu Ginobili came right back down with a driving layup after that. Ginobili led Argentina with 23 points in the game.
Chris Paul dribbled down the clock on the next possession then hit another three for the United States sealing the deal on an Argentina team that refused to go away.
The U.S. got out to a huge lead early jumping ahead 16-1 to start the game behind some hot shooting from Durant and Kobe Bryant. Durant made four of his seven threes in the first quarter and Kobe also hit a pair.
Team USA perhaps fell in love with the three a little too much (13-for-34 in the game) allowing Argentina to get back into the game but the end result was never really in question. Team USA has too many options to allow a team to come back on them.
The United States backcourt pressure prowess was less of a factor against a pretty talented Argentina squad that featured some NBA talent in their backcourt. Argentina wasn't talented enough with their bigs though to really exploit the United States' lack of size.
Luis Scola scored 14 points for Argentina and Team USA had little trouble containing him although the pesky Scola did get into a little altercation bumping chests with Durant while LeBron James separated the two.
Frustration was high for Scola and Argentina who was playing in just their second exhibition game so far, previously getting blown out by Spain by 20 points a few days ago.
The game was tight enough though that James Harden and Anthony Davis did not play at all for the United States.
Argentina has a history of performing well against the United States in international hoops but that is just history now. This is not the best Argentina team of all-time and they're not on the same level as Team USA.
Argentina will be in the same pool as Team USA when the Olympics start and is considered their biggest competition in the group.
Team USA will play Spain in their fifth and final exhibition game before the Olympics start Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. EST on ESPN2. Spain is without question Team USA's biggest obstacle in winning Gold and the game should be as competitive as any we have seen yet for the United States.

I was excited to write my book review of Stolen by the Seas
Stolen by the Seas is one of the best books I have ever read so far!
The story took place in Galveston, Texas in the midst of a big hurricane. The hurricane did actually happen on September 8, 1900 and it was a very bad storm that killed around 8,000 people.
I love how Anna Myers wrote this book. She wrote it as if she was Maggi McKenna. She wrote this book as if she was one of the people who survived the storm.
I could hardly put the book down until I finished. It is exciting to write a book review on Stolen by the Seas by Anna Myers.
It must have been raining terror throughout the city during this storm.
This shows devastation after Hurricane Ike and I can only imagine that is what it must have been like after the Galvaston Storm of 1900
Stolen by the Seas is part fiction and part non-fiction
Anna Myers took a bad storm and added what it was like for a brave girl (Maggie McKenna) to go through it and survive as some kids actually did. I also love how she used real homes and places like the St. Mary's Orphanage. The orphanage did exist at one point and it did go down in the storm. Even though it was made out of stone & bricks it still went down. The author got her orphans from looking at a picture of the orphanage before the storm happened.
Maggie McKenna is a brave girl
In the book the main character, Maggie McKenna, has to face a hurricane without her parents. Luckily her mom has a young gardener named Felipe [Felipe is an Orphan at St. Mary's with his two little twin sisters]. He was shy and Maggi McKenna did not like him at first. But then the storm hit and they must work together and do as much as they can to survive the horrible storm. I wonder if they ever thought someone would do a book review about their story? You'll want to grab something to eat and drink before you pick up the book so you don't have to leave it for one second.
Before the Storm
Maggie's Mom was very sick. About two days before the storm Maggi's Dad takes Maggie and some of her friends out to the ocean to swim for an hour before dark. While they were out at the sea Maggi's Mom got even sicker than she was before they went. So the next morning her Dad and Mom went to see a doctor very far away. Out of the storm's reach. They leave Maggi with the old house keeper and the grumpy cook. Then after a few more things happen in the story (you will just have to read the story to find the details) the storm hits bad. Oh this is a very fun book review to write.
During the Storm
The "over fill area" in Galvaston over flowed so the flood waters got up to the porch and then into her house. Felipe helps the orphan's get into the Maggie's house and the next thing they know they are fighting to stay alive with the current pushing against them.
Download the book on your Kindle right away
Did Maggie and Felipe survive? Did she ever find her parents? If you want to know what happens next (as well as more details in the beginning of the story) I would recommend going out and buying this book immediately. It was the very best book I have every read and I cannot imagine being Maggie McKenna or all of those little kids and adults that were Stolen by the Seas.
Queen of the Waves from a Latin French hymn, author unknown
Queen of the Waves, look forth across the ocean From north to south, from east to stormy west, See how the waters with tumultuous motion Rise up and foam without a pause or rest.
But fear we not, tho' storm clouds round us gather, Thou art our Mother and thy little Child Is the All Merciful, our loving Brother God of the sea and of the tempest wild.
Help, then sweet Queen, in our exceeding danger, By thy seven griefs, in pity Lady save; Think of the Babe that slept within the manger And help us now, dear Lady of the Wave.
Up to the shrine we look and see the glimmer Thy votive lamp sheds down on us afar; Light of our eyes, oh let it ne'er grow dimmer, Till in the sky we hail the morning star.
Then joyful hearts shall kneel around thine altar And grateful psalms reecho down the nave; Never our faith in thy sweet power can falter, Mother of God, our Lady of the Wave.
I loved reading this book and writing the book review. I hope you enjoyed it. On to my next book!

Concord lawyer to plead guilty to Salem prostitution charge
Richard Mooney, 53, of Bow will plead guilty to a Class B misdemeanor charge of prostitution and pay a $1,000 fine, according to the terms of the deal.
Prosecutors will agree to drop a misdemeanor hindering apprehension charge for allegedly tipping off a prostitute that she was under surveillance by Salem police. Mooney is accused of calling the woman after he was pulled over by police on June 13, 2011.
The negotiated deal was struck roughly a month after Mooney tried to have his charges dismissed by a superior court judge.
Defense attorney Howard Roever argued in court papers that Salem police did not have enough legal justification to pull over Mooney after he left a Salem motel room that was under surveillance by police.
Assistant County Attorney Kirsten Wilson said in court papers that a Salem police detective observed Mooney slowly drive by a room being used by one of two prostitutes under surveillance by police.
Mooney then entered the room without any luggage and left about an hour later, according to Wilson.
Salem police then watched Mooney return to his car and drive off before pulling him over.
Mooney refused to speak with police after being pulled over in his car and identified by officers. But the prostitute, police said, told detectives that Mooney called her moments after his encounter with police officers to warn her that she was being watched by law enforcement.
The woman was given limited immunity in exchange for her sworn testimony, according to prosecutors. She was not charged in the case.
Wilson also argued that a judge should not consider Mooney's request to dismiss charges, suggesting it was untimely.
"These charges have been pending for approximately 21 months," she said in court papers. "Approximately six weeks before the most current date for jury selection, (Mooney) has raised a suppression issue for the first time."
Mooney is expected to enter his guilty plea on April 1 in Rockingham County Superior Court. He initially faced two Class A misdemeanors, which carries a penalty of up to a year in county jail and a $2,000 fine.

In response to:
Obama brought up the old "if it saves one life" argument. Hey, I'm all about not seeing people get murdered. But what if the reduced availability of ammo resulted in the death of someone who needed 11 or more rounds instead of the allowable ten to defend theirself? Would that make the idiot feel bad? The legislation does not get to the root of the problem. Bad people with bad intentions do not care about magazine limits, available weapon type limits or background checks. The Boston Bomber didn't need a background check, a minimized magazine or an assault rifle to cause that carnage.
In response to:
Watched the idiot's presser. Golly, he's really upset. And longer winded than a cat 1 hurricane.
In response to:
Causes me to wonder if it's the caucasian part of Obama that's ignorant. And, if I disagree with the caucasian part of Obama am I still considered a racist by Chris Matthews?
So you'd be saying that the black desk clerk I encountered in Wichita, KS years ago that denied me a quoted rate from Ramada Inn yet while I'm standing there apologized to and gave the black guest the same rate that I and, clearly, he was quoted yet denied me an adjustment, couldn't have been just a little touch of racism? All I asked for was the rate I was quoted and confirmed twice with Ramada. The black guest walked up and all he had to say he was quoted the rate I was quoted too and asked to have the charges reflect that. The desk clerk didn't hesitate to change his. Hope he got fired though after I had a lengthy discussion with the manager and Ramada. Wouldn't know, though, because I never bothered to use Ramada again.
I tend to notice that Liberal folks like Matthews and his Liberal media colleagues have too much of a tendency to scream "race" at the drop of a hat when a Conservative of any color disagrees with the content of the carachter, or, political ideology of a Liberal/Democrat Af-Am. Yet, they use phrases such as "Uncle Tom," "Aunt Jemima" and/or "House (Gasp!) N-word)" when talking about an Af-Am Republican/Conservative. Am I wrong about that? Wouldn't Lib/Dem folks like Matthews be better off to judge a Herman Cain, Ben Olson, Condi Rice, etc., etc., etc. by the content of their carachter not by using language that is clearly directed toward the color of their skin? Reason number 12,487,286 why I have no use for Liberal/Democrats.
Evidently, by the continuously low ratings, MSNBC heads are that stupid.
Newsflash for Matthews: Blacks can be racists too. Oh, and so can Hispanics, Asians and on and on and on and on.......
Disagree with what? That he's incorrect in his "only white's can be racists" statement? Do you agree with that? If you do, must be a neat little bubble you live in.
In response to:
You can't see any meaningful difference between a person that was born a male and a person that was born a female? How do you think you became a human being? As long as I've been married to my wife I can assure you there are many, many differences between her (born a female) and me (born a male).
In response to:
One would think this may look bad for Obama. But the imitation Village People doing the YMCA to 60 percent of his voting base probablt thinks it was an awesome skit and admire him more, Another 20% think it was great because it showcased homosexualtiy in an SNL skit and the last 20% didn't get it or wasn't tuned in because the "Weelend Update" wasn't on yet which is where they get their news.

In 1869, the first version of the Periodic Table of Elements was created by Dmitri Mendeleev to illustrate the known chemical elements of the time and predict new ones. Elements are distinguished by having a single type of atom, and as they are discovered by scientists, the table grows. But what of the elements classified and discovered by poets, elements not made of atoms but language? Is poetry a kind of periodic table of language where poets chart, predict, and make elements as alchemists? Perhaps the P.T.O.E. is itself a P.O.E.M.
One under-acknowledged and yet groundbreaking phenomenon of our time is that, in addition to some poets responding to science as a way to think about language, poetry, and science in more novel ways, some poets are practicing science by making poetry and therefore making something else from practicing both science and poetry at the same time.

Brian Reed (in from Seattle), Maria Damon (Minnesota), and Craig Dworkin (Utah) joined Al Filreis at the Writers House (Philadelphia) in a rare and — we think — rather fluid convergence of poetic minds prepped to figure out how to talk about an instance of verse bebop. The bop was Charlie Parker's, as a model for languaged sound (by poet Clark Coolidge), and the template song was "Blues for Alice" (Coolidge's poem uses the title), and among the possible Alices are Alice Coltrane, Alice Notley, and Alice in Wonderland.

We speculate about Alice Coltrane and Alice in Wonderland, but as for Notley: Brian Reed finds evidence that Coolidge meant to dedicate his poem version of the standard bop dedication indeed to Notley. This leads Maria Damon to wonder about all these women dedicatees – these recipients or objects of blues syllabics — in light of such strong male performative struggles, or attempts to "get in on the try," managed by creative men: Coolidge and Parker, or course, but perhaps Ted Berrigan too, and surely also Jack Kerouac, whose bop-inspired babble flow is very much part of the PoemTalk conversation. The key source for Coolidge's working out of Kerouac is his important 1995 article published in American Poetry Review on Kerouac's babble flow and his improvisation generally.
In the final issue of Chain — which I am thrilled to launch on the newly redesigned Reissues platform — editors Juliana Spahr and Jena Osman begin by sharing some facts about the magazine. Perhaps the best summary of the journal's output, I'd like to reproduce "Some Facts About Chain" in its entirety here. You can find the full issue — placing this segment in conversation with the contents of the "facts" issues of the magazine — here.

I'm in Banff, Alberta, attending a long-weekend-long conference called "interventions"--focused on new writing practices.I'm in Banff, Alberta, attending a long-weekend-long conference called "interventions"--focused on new writing practices. The best thing about it is that most of the presenters are practicing artists. This morning, for instance, Jen Bervin showed us several of her textile/weaving projects--one a brilliant weaving of Emily Dickinson's fascicles. Lance Olsen (an old graduate school chum) and Steve Tomasula on various forms of digital/hypermedia fiction. Fred Wah starts a talk about collaboration by talking about using tea mold for a mealtime art project. I'm meeting many Canadian writers whom I'd not known before. Erin Moure and J.R. Carpenter among them. Maria Damon riffs on connections between schmata and schema-ta, a raggy poetics, in response to the matter of the state of the sentence. Craig Dworkin (best paper, to my mind, of the conference) starts with the Poundian/imagist compression of the sentence and does exemplary literary history in a short paper. There's a ton there. I moderated a panel on the state of reading today and tomorrow I will present a manifesto in 6 minutes. Hearing tales of the Wah-bash (the celebration of Fred Wah's retirement from active teaching near here in Calgary). Finally, after all these years, met Derek Beaulieu--a treat. Kenny Goldsmith found a moment to insert his stump speech about uncreative writing, and he chose the perfect moment. Charles Bernstein started his talk by being absent, then showed us some stunning slides of his collaborations with painters over the years. Met a young man, Mike, who lives in a cabin in northern Northwest Territory, has a satellite-enabled WiFi and uses PennSound recordings as a lifeline to the world of poetry in the provinces and states below. John Cayley yesterday used the (Brown University) "cave" (3D virtual textual environment) to draw the distinction between our seeing objects floating before us (not "on" a surface) and our seeing words in such a scene. We just can't see the words as things. Chris Funkhouser performed the other night, sheet over head, as a dancing bounding text reflector, and played a one-string instrument his mother had bought him years ago. He's finally found a use for it. Christian Bok unveiled his new project: infecting can't-be-killed microbial life with text so that it will survive the death of readers. Writing that really lasts. As someone observed, he's gotten so far past the traditionalist's lament about writing for the ages that he's back to it. Humanism rears its viral head.Julia Bloch and Sarah Dowling are taking good notes on everything and intend to write an article. Steven Ross Smith, organizer, says he will get us recordings so that we can put a selection on PennSound.

Update2: Weidmann: Back ECB's Low-Rate Policy But Risks Remain | MNI
Weidmann said he does not see deflation or high inflation risks in the Eurozone, noting that inflation expectations remain well-anchored around 2%. He warned Germany against "irrational inflation fears", siding with recent comments from ECB President Mario Draghi, but stressed that discussions of deflation risks in the Eurozone should be equally measured.
"The risks of significantly higher inflation in the medium term are limited," Weidmann said. "At the same time, in the current economic situation, the risks of a broad deflation in the Eurozone is limited."
Weidmann rejected arguments that the Eurozone was entering a Japanese-style deflationary zone, and that the ECB must therefore act more aggressively to prevent this slide.
Weidmann noted the Germany economy has already begun a recovery in 2013 and "this upwards trend will continue in the coming years, according to our [Bundesbank] forecasts," which foresee GDP growth of 1.7% this year and 2.0% in 2014.
In contrast, Weidmann argued that reform needs in Germany to some extent and France in particular had fallen "under the radar" during the Eurozone crisis. Asked about French President Francois Hollande's reform initiative announced this week, Weidmann said he hoped France would once again set an "example" for the wider Eurozone. — (Deutche Bourse Group)
Draghi: Eurozone recovery `subdued and uneven' - Las Vegas Sun News

Weekly Bull/Bear Recap: Feb. 18-22, 2013
This objective report concisely summarizes important macro events over the past week. It is not geared to push an agenda. Impartiality is necessary to avoid costly psychological traps, which all investors are prone to, such as confirmation, conservatism, and endowment biases.
+ The U.S. economy is set to continue its recovery. The Conference Board's leading indicator increased 0.2% in January. "The indicators point to an underlying economy that remains relatively sound but sluggish," said Ataman Ozyildririm, economist at The Conference Board. Meanwhile the ECRI's leading indicator growth-rate remains in solid positive territory at 7.6% for the week ending February 15th — Lakshman Achuthan has egg all over his face due to his premature recession call.
+ U.S. Manufacturing is undergoing the beginnings of another inventory build. The American Trucking Association reports that its tonnage indicator rose for the 3rd consecutive month in January, notching its highest ever reading. Meanwhile, Markit reports that its PMI registered further expansion for the sector. Chris Williamson, Chief Economist at Markit said: "U.S. manufacturers reported the largest monthly rise in production for almost two years in February, suggesting that the economy is set to rebound from the weak patch seen late last year and allying fears of a double-dip recession."
+ While the Conference Board has reported declining confidence from the U.S. consumer, on the whole, it has stabilized. Gallup reports that its measure of consumer confidence remains near a 5-year high. Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort Survey is carving out a bottom, as is the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment survey, which last week signaled a 3rd consecutive increase.
+ Home prices continue to increase (due to falling inventory levels) and will support consumer and investment psychology. Zillow reports that their pricing index's 15th consecutive increase was also at the largest annual rate since early 2006. Meanwhile "the number of American households behind on mortgage payments fell to the lowest level in four years at the end of 2012," according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. In the commercial real-estate sector, the AIA announces a strong surge in its Architecture Billings Index.
+ Global trade flows have bottomed and look to pick up throughout 2013. Japanese exports for January grew for the first time in 8 months, rising 6.4% on a year over year basis. Exports to China increased for the first time in 8 months, while exports to the U.S. jumped more than 10%. Meanwhile, Markit reports that increased demand from Asia is percolating to other major economies, such as Germany.
- Things are taking a turn for the worse in Europe. Markit reports a deepening downturn in February, tempering expectations for an end to the region's economic malaise any time soon. Moreover, Italian leading indicators point to further weakness ahead (elections are coming up this weekend!) and Euro-wide car sales slump to levels last seen in 1990. Unfortunately, bullish German business conditions (due to the country's reluctance to rebalance its economy, which is sorely needed for a long-lasting Eurozone solution) only serve to create complacency in the country. Perhaps such good economic conditions will make German citizens feel like their economy will not suffer if it left the Eurozone. A Taylor-Rule analysis of Germany vs. France clearly demonstrates why a one-size-fits-all monetary policy is tearing the region apart. Meanwhile, financial institutions in Europe remain very vulnerable and Friday's news that only half of the LTRO money will be repaid speaks volumes of the distrust still present in the banking system. Liquidity schemes such as the LTRO only mask the underlying fundamental problems plaguing the Eurozone. They do nothing to solve them.
- Market action this week accentuates the extent to which Fed officials have warped financial markets. After a surprising hawkish set of FOMC minutes, the S&P 500 tumbled over 2 percent. The weakest multi-year economic recovery on record has only occurred because of unprecedented monetary stimulus. Any hint of ceasing, or even reducing the dosage of Bernanke's monetary drug will induce sharp sell offs in risk markets. The foundations of the global economy remain unhinged and pose grave long-term risks to the investment outlook. Indeed many are becoming worried with the degree to which the Fed has likely affected long-term economic growth.
- Quietly, gas prices have increased for 32 consecutive days and endanger PE-multiple expansion. Along with the expiration of the payroll tax cut and the significant possibility of sequestration, investors will be surprised by deteriorating consumer trends.
- China's Shanghai Composite falls roughly 5% as officials signal more tightening measures for the property market. Despite a rallying U.S. equity market, China's equity measures remain mired in a long-term downward trend, which is a red flag. Want another red flag? Copper plunges more than 5% for the week. A look at the 3-yr price chart shows us that a bearish solution to a symmetric triangle is looking increasingly probable.
- An awkward moment for U.S./Chinese relations occurs with Mandiant announcing that the Chinese military accounts for a large number of cyber-attacks on America, an accusation immediately disputed by Chinese officials who point out that the U.S. also accounts for a large number of cyber-attacks on their country as well.
New-home sales show signs of steady recovery - Philly.com
The report is "the latest in a series of data points suggesting a durable housing recovery is under way," Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at brokerage firm BTIG L.L.C., said in a note to clients. — AP
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
A recovery in housing will help job creation. Given strong secondary effects produced by the sector, the bulls have this tailwind in their argument against continued economic stability in the U.S.
Weekly Bull/Bear Recap: Jun. 25 - Jun. 29, 2012
+ EU leaders agree to use the EFSF/ESM to conduct direct bank recapitalizations. They also consent to institute a Eurozone-wide banking regulator. These are the first steps toward fiscal union. Officials are also finally focusing on a more concerted growth agenda for the Eurozone. Roughly $150 billion will be allocated to help small business and youth unemployment. Finally, the seniority issue that would have affected Spanish bailout loans from the ESM has been lifted. European leaders are resolute in their efforts to end the Eurozone crisis. Given low sentiment for any progress from the summit, this news will lift sentiment and risk markets in the weeks to come. Spanish and Italian bond yields plunged after news of the accord. Now is the time to buy as uncertainty is lifted.
+ Housing continues to improve, helping job creation, ameliorating consumer confidence, and ultimately boosting consumption. New Home Sales improve to their best reading in almost 2 years in May and inventory falls to 4.7 months, the lowest since late 2005. Pending Home Sales, a leading indicator, notches a 2-year high, increasing 5.9% in May and 13.3% YoY. MoM home prices, as per the Case-Shiller index, rise in April for the first time in 8 months the gains are broadbased; YoY rate falls at the slowest pace since 2010. Lennar posts strong growth trends in home sales.
+ "Beautiful Deleveraging" is in its latter stages. Furthermore, government officials understand that fiscal accommodation must continue. There will be no fiscal cliff, but instead a gradual and delicate withdrawal. Gas prices are plunging as is inflation in general; the PCE price deflator notches its slowest rate of gain since Jan '11. This is a direct help to consumer finances. Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort survey just hit a 2-month high. Bullish economic tailwinds are strengthening.
+ The global economy is proving more resilient than the bears expect. In Asia, China's trade ministry indicates that trade is beginning to stabilize after a rough patch earlier in the year. Also, the housing crash that the bears relentlessly warned about looks to be delayed, keep waiting bears. Taiwanese Industrial Production falls much less than expected in May, while Singaporean's metric rises a higher than expected 6.6% YoY.
+ Weakness in manufacturing is only a soft-patch, not pervasive, and is stabilizing. Durable Goods Orders rise more than expected, while the Dallas and Chicago Fed both report improvement. Seasonally adjusted jobless claims may be elevated, but unadjusted claims are actually 9.4% lower than a year ago, "suggesting that the trend is still one of gradual improvement in the economic fundamentals."
+ Even Europe had pockets of good economic news. German and French consumers remain resilient in the face of Eurozone issues. Reports surface that capital is returning to Greek banks after the election reinforces Greece's commitment to stay in the Euro.
- The Eurozone is imploding in front of our eyes.
- Confidence is vanishing. With declining confidence, the crisis is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Cyprus is downgraded to junk by Fitch and becomes the 5th Eurozone member to request a bailout (ironically, they assume the EU rotating presidency this coming Sunday).
- More mass downgrades for Spanish banks as the country requests a bailout from the Eurozone, all the while capital controls are surreptitiously set up and rumors of Junk status for Spanish bonds swirl about.
- 4 days on the job and the Greek finance minister quits.
- Merkel and finance minister Schaeuble say "nein" to shared liabilities "as long as they live." Meanwhile, Egan-Jones does its best to add even more pressure on Merkel to not succumb to the government troika of beggers in Italy, France, and Spain and damage the county's credit profile. Meanwhile, the crisis creeps into Germany's economy as unemployment climbs more than expected in June.
- Italian retail sales plunge the most in "at least 8 years," cratering 1.6% MoM and 6.8% YoY in April vs. expectations of -0.6% and -0.2% respectively. The LTRO, implemented last year, is beginning to "yield" negative consequences, by accelerating bank insolvency due to dangerous concentrations of toxic sovereign debt.
- The cause of the Eurozone crisis is the ongoing policy of austerity aimed to correct trade and budget imbalances. Today's announcement solves nothing to this end and is just another band-aid (slated to be ready by 2013, subject to German conditions, and not even big enough). European leaders are moving at a snail's pace; Eurobonds are still a ways off. It is clear that this strategy is fraught with implementation risk. Finally, a $150 billion stimulus package isn't going to restore growth for a roughly $16.2 trillion dollar economic bloc with a strong downward growth trajectory. Economic data will get worse and it will be obvious that European officials won't have 4 months to take another baby step.
- Tensions are really heating up in the Middle East. Nuclear talks in Russia between the West and Iran yield no resolution, leading Netanyahu to remind us that a military strike may occur in the near future. Meanwhile, Syria downed one (almost another?) of Turkey's reconnaissance jets last week in international waters leading Turkey to seek a response from NATO and warn Syrian forces to back off its borders or else. Psst, check out what's going on in the South China Sea.
- More indications point to more than just a soft-patch for the U.S. economy. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index's 3-month average falls to the lowest in almost 1 year and marks the third consecutive reading below zero. The Richmond and Kansas City Fed both report weakening manufacturing conditions. Conference Board's Consumer confidence index slumps to a 5-month low (confirmed by both the Gallup Poll and UMich = 6-month low). Jobless claims remain elevated.
- Earnings are starting to feel the effects of the global slump and economically important companies (not to mention the government) are sounding the alarm, yet investors remain convinced that monetary policy can cure all ills. Is it really a wall of worry as the bulls claim?
Economic Confidence in U.S. Hits New High -- Gallup
Consumer confidence, as calculated by Gallup, just hit a new high. The recovery continues according to this indicator.
U.S. Economic Data 5/17/2012
+ Housing recovery continues.
+- Jobless Claims remain steady.
- Leading Indicators point to struggling recovery.
- Case and point: While the Empire Manufacturing gauge remains in solid positive territory, Philly Manufacturing gauge is negative for April.
- Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort falls to nearly 4 month low.
NFIB small-business index at post-recession high - MarketWatch
Couple this news with yesterday's Employment Trends Index (another post-recession high), stabilizing home prices and consumer confidence and the case for a continued U.S. economic recovery remains viable.
However, with Europe taking a drastic turn for the worse in recent days and Germany now finding itself ostracized, it feels like the union is facing its fiercest test yet. Germany must relent to Eurobonds so that trade and budget deficits in peripheral countries are recycled by German surpluses.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Germany is pursuing a "balance-of-payments (BOP) recalibration" by forcing these nations to become surplus countries. This involves increasing competitiveness via internal wage deflation (i.e. cutting costs), in an effort to drastically reduce or eliminate their trade deficits. It also requires that governments eliminate their budget deficits by raising taxes and undergoing austerity. As long as German-mandated austerity persists, the probability of a Eurozone split up will increase. These policies are resulting in deep recessions and are tearing apart the social fabric of Europe. Resentment towards Germany and the financial elite is becoming engrained in the psyche of regular citizens in the periphery. Remonstrations are progressively intense. Like trends in financial markets, psychological trends aren't linear. We are currently in a lull and protests are likely to pick up in the coming months, as the effects of austerity harshly bite Main Streets of periphery countries. Unfortunately, these countries are only in the middle innings of this BOP recalibration, at best; more pain lies ahead. Political risk remains extremely elevated. Furthermore, existing government and private debt is so large that debt traps are becoming evident in Greece, Portugal, and Spain. They in turn will lead to further austerity and worsening political and social trends, a nefarious feedback loop."

Obama Re-Election Momentum Hits Snag in April Jobs Report - Bloomberg
"Mitt Romney looks to be the front-runner for the Republican Party in the presidential elections. It is clear that he has no misgivings on China being a currency manipulator. If the U.S. economy were to go into a double-dip recession, Obama's chances of reelection would decrease markedly, while Romney's would increase. The probability of this political outcome can be seen in real time here,here and here (notice the inverse correlation between the final two charts). Should Romney become the Republican front-runner, a double-dip recession could clear the way for his election and dangerously increase the risk of protectionism." — (RCS Investments Macro Outlook Begn-2012) —-

My hunch of Obama's reelection chances hinging on the U.S. recovery seems accurate. Make sure to check out his chances in real time.
Wage Gap With China Continues to Shrink, Which Will Mean More Manufacturing Production in U.S.
This is a secular trend, which will have indelible effects on many macro factors.
For starters it would mean an more pronounced recovery in the U.S vs. the one we've experienced since mid-2009. However, because of our Fed's myopic strategy of continuous QE, inflation will become a more persistent problem. Furthermore a steady source of this inflation (the rise of China) will probably result in the top for the Treasury bull market that has been in place for the past 3 decades.
While these events aren't knocking at the door (I see some more upside for Treasuries and continued disinflationary pressures in 2012), the genesis of these profound long-term trends are in their infancy and will continue to grow. I'm thinking they will become more observable in 2013-2015.
I'll be including these thoughts in my next outlook (Beg.-Year 2012)
Obama Stimulus….the Bear Case
As always, Rosenberg provides some informative thoughts (via Zero Hedge) on the recent Obama stimulus. I had posted the bullish side earlier.
I'm not very bullish on the package, but if markets keep falling and bearish sentiment increases, the package may result in "better than expected" growth.
In the long run, it's only more of the same.

@Joff- Illidans' surviving the battle with Arthas was NOT a retcon. blizzard has stated that, although they wanted to do a full CGI cinematic of their fight, they were forced to turn to the game itself for the cutscene due to a shortage of time. It was never intended that Illidan die there; he was cut down, believed to be dead by Arthas (who was much more concerned about getting to the Frozen Throne anway), and was then retrieved by Kael'Thas Sunstrider and Lady Vashj. They whisked him to Outland and nursed him back to health.

For someone who is only 17, Finn expresses his love so beautifully. Not only with his kind and caring ways but as well through their intimacy. A lot teenage boys don't know how to do that. They're quick to be grabby and touchy without spending time showing it other ways as well. Like with Finn, he plays with her hair. Or like before their first time, her hair was kind of blocking her face so he brushed it and tucked it behind her ear so he could see her face. He takes time to look at her. Her face. Her eyes. Everything. Because he loves everything about her and also, to make sure she's okay.

Relief for those who travel on frequently-snarled Interstate 215 in Murrieta is not so far off.
The Interstate 215 widening project in Murrieta is on schedule and expected to be complete by this summer, the Riverside County Transportation Commission said Monday.
in February 2011, construction started last spring on the six-mile stretch between Murrieta Hot Springs and Scott roads. The project will add a lane in each direction between the two exits.
The $33-million project—also known as the I-215 South Project—has created about 594 jobs, providing a boost to the local economy, according to a newsletter update provided by RCTC.
Motorists were reminded that the construction zone speed limit will remain at 55 mph for the duration of the project. Drivers were asked to take caution at night and in rainy weather, to allow extra time for traveling through the area, and to avoid distractions such as cell phones.
"RCTC and project partner Caltrans have been working to minimize the effects of the project on motorists by scheduling lane closures only when necessary and limiting the closures to nighttime hours when possible," the newsletter stated.
crews began by improving drainage systems, installing electrical connections and adjusting the freeway grade to prepare for the addition of new lanes to the freeway, RCTC said.
This fall, crews began paving the new freeway lanes, repairing existing lanes and widening the Keller Road Undercrossing. With the new year, crews will continue to pave the new freeway lanes and repair existing lanes, and will build a median lane barrier, according to the update.
Landscape improvements to the Los Alamos and Clinton Keith ramps to and from Interstate 215—a city of Murrieta project—are also slated to be complete by August 2012.
Down The Road
Also planned is the I-215 Central Project, which will add a lane in each direction between Scott Road in Murrieta and Nuevo Road in Perris. Design work is expected to wrap up on that 12.5-mile stretch of freeway late this year, according to RCTC.
The estimated project cost is $143 million and is forecast to provide 2,160 jobs. Contingent on funding, the project may start at that time and take about three years.
The projects are part of a series of improvements that RCTC is either leading or is partnering with along I-215. Partner agencies include the cities of Murrieta, Temecula and Menifee, Riverside County, the Federal Highway Administration and California Department of Transportation.
Both the State Route 60/ Interstate 215 East Junction Interchange Project in Moreno Valley and Riverside and the widening of the 74/215 Interchange in Perris are under construction now.
Future planning will include the widening I-215 north of Perris, which remains an important project to the region, according to the newsletter.
RCTC said it continues to look for opportunities to move forward on this project as the state works through its ongoing budget challenges. RCTC said project development will begin for the widening of I-215 between Nuevo Road and the 60/215 East Junction when a clearer financial picture emerges from Sacramento.
The project would add a carpool lane in each direction to a 10.75-mile section of I-215—the northernmost section of RCTC's widening efforts along this freeway. A westbound auxiliary lane also is planned on State Route 60 to improve traffic merging.
Once completed, RCTC said I-215 improvements are expected to ease traffic congestion and delays, improve connections between neighboring counties, reduce gasoline consumption, enhance air quality and support goods movement through the region.
The Commission
RCTC is governed by a 31-member commission that includes a mayor or council member from each of Riverside County's cities, the Board of Supervisors and a non-voting appointee of the Governor.
RCTC allocates state and federal transportation funds in Riverside County and plans and implements region-wide projects funded under the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF), a fee paid by new development to mitigate new transportation demands caused by growth, according to Rctc.org.
City Councilman Rick Gibbs represents Murrieta on the commission.

BLOG: Bittorrent Bundles are awesome.
I've written before about how usefulI believe the bittorrent protocol is,...
And I'm not talking about someone involved in production mentioning it in an interview (though that's happened too), I mean that characters in the show honest-to-FSM mentioned him being on the spectrum. And it was a gloriously subtle, just-another-aspect-of-his-character mention. Just a, "He probably appreciates this situation, given his…his…*gosh-it's-on-the-tip-of-my-tongue-what's-that-word? face*" "Asperger's?" "Yeah." I missed it the first time around (thanks mostly to a shitty stream), it was such a small moment.
The fact that Sherlock (this incarnation and the original) is on the spectrum isn't exactly news to people who are familiar with the symptoms, but I'm still thrilled that they actually said it out loud in-universe. I have never seen a TV character who was blatantly acknowledged as autistic without being The Autistic Person. There are characters out in mainstream media (even title characters, some of them) who obviously do fall somewhere on the spectrum, but for it to be said aloud or acknowledged in any way other than their symptoms is a once-in-a-blue-moon sorta thing.
And they just casually brought it up as an already-known thing because it's so fucking obvious that he's neurodivergent! It's ridiculous that this is a big enough deal to make me happy, but fuck it, I'll take my warm fuzzies where I can find 'em.
I can die happy now.
yes! VISIBILITY. I still have mixed feelings about it, but loads of those feelings are really happy ones.
and I must say that it is very likely he's not actually diagnosed, it's just John's interpretation of Sherlock's strengths and weaknesses. But the way is was uttered was very nice, because it was so obvious that it wasn't meant to be derogatory, it was just the best word John could find.
I wasn't sure if it was canon, because John said it, but then again, John is a doctor. Though he is a medical doctor, and not so much a doctor of the psyche.
However, visibility is important, and regardless it is incredibly amazing that this happened.
I would also think he has some PTSD issues. The way he (and in the films with RDJ) self medicates as a coping to this hyper-awareness is something I really connect with, and is something from my PTSD. However, Sana'a thinks I may be on the spectrum, so who knows where one ends and the other begins and where the overlap happens.
I did appreciate that moment greatly. See tags.

WEB BONUS: More on Yvon Chouinard

Recently returned from the Gaula in Norway, Yvon Chouinard bucked the trend of using the giant tube flies and enjoyed great Atlantic salmon success with small Eastern Canadian patterns. "We landed some fine 20-pounders and turned them all loose," he reported, despite the tendency in many countries to keep large Atlantic salmon.
2009 Angler of the Year
- By: Paul Bruun
The laughter, resonant with enthusiasm, is penetrating... even from across the river. The man is having a good time but who doesn't when they're catching fish? It's obvious from a glance at this behavior that size is unimportant: Nine-inchers elicit the same commotion as do fish twice that length. These trout are special in another way. They're rising in a run beside an island in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP), where more than 30 years ago the man taught his own son and daughter to fish with a fly rod and a tiny piece of worm.
I enjoyed reading about my old home waters. I lived within 50 miles of Glacier National Park for 27 years.

Los Angeles, Cal...
I've been wanting one of these oversized floral tops for a while, so for my first blogiversary I decided to try my hand at making a printable pattern. I drafted the top to be loose and comfortable, with no closures so that it would be easy to sew and fit. I'm still working on pattern grading, so right now I've only made the pattern in my size.
I think it works well both loose or belted, and as a bonus, it works pretty well as a blouse for my 1912 skirt — very Lady Sybil or Edith.
More details and photos here.

Thanks for the pattern. It's a very nice top.
Jun 12, 2012, 11.55 AMby irmchen
I realy love your pattern and the version you made! I would stitch it up but it is not my size… call me lazy but I don't feel like grading it up. I featured your pattern on my pattern-blog site. Hope that's o.k.!?

I love flow. I've been riding them for years, but last year I bought the nxt (green ones) and I was not liking them. Broke 3 straps, the plastic peices that hold the strap to the binding, amd one of the ratchets broke. So I was pissed off, but I fixed them and still ride them. I bought the new Teams this year and they rock.

As a mom of four kids, I've had some pretty stupid things said to me over the years. But none have been as bad as the things people say to me (and my husband) about parenting three girls.
But hey, thank goodness I at least have one boy to balance things out.
(Seriously, someone said that.)
If you're raising girls yourself, then I'm guessing you've heard at least some or all of these things too.
Well, so much for your namesake! Last time I checked, I kept my own name, and although I didn't pass it along to my kids, it's 2013 and not 1957. There are plenty of women who are keeping their last names and giving them to their kids. And even crazier, there are men who are hyphenating and/or changing their own names.
More from The Stir: If I Die: Life Lessons for My Daughters
How do you survive with all the estrogen in your house? I cannot tell you how many times my husband hears this and how many times he has to tell people how wonderful it is to have so many women in the house. Even better is when people push him to talk about "that time of the month," which generally makes his blood boil. I like to ask them about their bowel regularity (which to me is an equally inappropriate topic), which generally shuts people up.
Good luck when they're teenagers! So let's be clear here: Teenagers in general are hard, not just girls. In fact, I'm pretty sure it'll be crazy in my house because I'll have four teenagers, not because three of them are girls. But hey, you're welcome to come over and document that first hand considering how much you know about child development.
Hope you're saving up for all those weddings! I realize that, traditionally speaking, the bride's parents pay for the wedding; however, that's not something that happened to me and it won't be happening for my kids either. We're happy to support them in their choices, whether it's marriage or a partnership or whatever else they decide, but I won't be plunking down thousands of dollars for their weddings. And PS. Is it really your business?
It must be so quiet and peaceful in your house! I still can't quite understand why people think girls are so docile. Sure, maybe a gaggle of boys might be more active in their play, but trust me when I say that girls are not peaceful or quiet. And if they are, like most other kids, they are probably doing something they're not supposed to. Thanks for furthering gender stereotypes!
Parents of girls: What annoying things have people said to you?
Image via Boynton Art Studio/Flickr
Sounds like someone needs to wear a sign around their neck that says "I am offended by small talk. So don't talk to me about my kids unless it's a compliment but I can't guarantee I won't dissect that compliment, turn it in to an insult and blog about it. Good day."
I have two girls, no one's really made any comments like the above however I do get comments about me not wanting anymore kids (one of my DD's is not mine biologically but is MINE) people seem to think I am weird for wanting only ONE bio child?? Um, I have two. Just because one is not my bio child does not mean I want a third that is "mine" and even if I had a third child, I would have just that a THIRD child, not two children and one that's not really mine because we don't share the same DNA. But people say stupid things all the time, just shrug it off and move on...
I don't know why people say this crap. Like boys are just the greatest things on the Earth. My parents had more trouble with my one brother then they had with my sister and I combined! He never came home when he was suppose to, drove too fast, and didn't help out around the house... I think people just say things to say things, like... how's the weather.

EPCON Software™ by EI EPCON International®, a Houston-based software development and distribution firm specializing in process engineering software, along with one of our engineering partner EPI Engineering®, has been named a 2013 Industrial Energy Technology Conference (IETC™) Energy Award Winner for the impressive energy and water savings that resulted from a plant-wide optimization study of the TPC Group™ Houston North Operations facility using the industry-leading fluid flow simulator EPCON SiNET™.
In 2010-2011, TPC Group™ Houston Operations was evaluating the opportunity for production expansion and needed to assess the capacity of existing utility systems including steam, condensate, compressed air, nitrogen, natural gas, fuel gas, cooling water, and firewater systems. These systems had not been evaluated in detail since their original design in the early 1940's. Detailed simulation flow models of each utility system were developed and tuned to match existing plant data in order to identify available capacity of each system and understand current limitations. In addition, a detailed steam balance was developed to fully understand steam production and demand needs.
This approach is unique in several ways. Simulation models of large, plant-wide utility systems are typically not developed until the detailed design phase of projects while estimated approaches are commonly done in Front End Loading stages of a project evaluation. Also, optimization of existing utility systems is not routinely done in combination with capital expansion projects. However, TPC™ senior management, based on past positive experience in this area, decided to model and optimize their utility systems in detail to evaluate the impact of the plant expansion which was the key reason these savings were realized. EPI Engineering® was selected for the flow simulation study since they had proven expertise in this area and were also an engineering partner with EPCON Software™, the company who developed the flow simulation software of choice.
The majority of the savings were a result of optimizing the current utility systems before evaluating how to expand them to meet the requirements of the new capital projects.The savings realized positively impacted both current operations and the funding approval of the plant expansion capital project which is now moving forward. The savings that resulted from the study includes:
It is also important to note that in Texas, as in many parts of the country, water supplies are under stress and water availability can become a limiting factor in production expansions. The utility modeling resulted in a reduced future demand for both energy and water for the process cooling system at the plant, compared to the planned cooling water system which was sized to meet the process expansion.
Click here and register for a Free 30 Day Trial of EPCON SiNET™, the leading fuld flow simulation and pipe flow analysis software tools available.
Owner-Operators: If you operate utility systems such as cooling water, steam or fire water systems in a refinery, chemical plant or even a commercial building, contact us today to discuss how the EPCON Service Group™ can provide detailed analysis of your systems that will result in a reduction of both water and energy usage of your utility systems and possible capital cost avoidance.

Why hasn't anybody thought about having a dog as a band member yet?
more "verb the noun" bands
in classic verb the noun style its generic as fuck
even though despised icon is pretty generic deathcore, I still enjoy that much more than this new project.
idk despised icon are a cut above the generic dxc scene of chelsea grin, SS and the like but they're nothing special. Defs better than this
Exactly how I feel. Best part of Despised Icon has to be the drums.
Use to dig DI but this band is so boring. The riff in this song is kinda cool but meh.
The "Whoa oh ohhhhssss" killed it for me. The song sucks but that made it suck waay more than it had to.Digging: The Contortionist - Language
Digging: The Contortionist - Language
You guys suck DI was the shit. This on the other hand couldn't be more average.
Nobody is talking shit on Despised Icon. I was acknowledging that I like them, but I realize that they aren't that great. Most of the shit talking in this thread is towards obey the brave.
Main riff is cool but then it got gay when he started talking about karma and you reap what you sow, what goes around comes around yada yada blah blah.
And the gang vocal part sucked too.Digging: Plebeian Grandstand - How Hate is Hard to Define
Digging: Plebeian Grandstand - How Hate is Hard to Define
Why in every gang vocal part do they need to have their arms around each other lol.. I laughed every time.

I feel like these people are from middle class Canadian suburbia and their parents can't understand why their kids do this
to be fair, Miguel is an awesome tattoo artist , and Alex is Alex.....
Also, if despised icon were still around and making albums I bet they'd be huge by now. Like actually making income.
Lame band. Fucking awful name, nuff saidDigging: Ritual Mess - Vile Art

Their debut album is pretty solid...dudes are good.

JENISON, MI (WHTC) - Investigators from both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Traffic Safety Board will be going over the circumstances that led to the crash of a small plane that was attempting to land at Jenison's Riverview Airport yesterday afternoon. It is believed that an icy runway was the major factor that caused Ben Schaeffer's Cessna 172 craft to skid off into a snow bank and flip over, causing "significant" damage, although no dollar estimate was initially made. Schaeffer was able to walk away without serious injury.
