Local TV show explains Lowcountry's natural world
By Carol Weir
The Sun City Packet
Published Wednesday, February 29, 2012

Many local residents moved to the Lowcountry from places where the only alligators lived in zoos. To these transplants, the idea of a flying squirrel may seem like something out of a children's animated TV series--but we have them here, honest.
Several local organizations, including the Coastal Discovery Museum, offer nature lectures and presentations where interested residents can learn about the Lowcountry's plants and animals. But none is more user-friendly than the internet-based TV show "Coastal Kingdom," a series of half-hour episodes hosted by naturalist Tony Mills of the Lowcountry Institute on Spring Island.
"Coastal Kingdom" has been on the air in Beaufort County since 2009. Each episode is a virtual field trip filmed entirely in the Lowcountry and focusing on a theme: for example, "Creatures of the Night," "Winter in the Lowcountry," and "Finding a Mate.""The idea is to let people know what they have and get them psyched about it so they do a better job of taking care of the waters and lands," Mills said. The staff of "Coastal Kingdom" recently upgraded the website to allow viewers to watch all of the shows in high definition quality. The ninth episode, called "Lowcountry Predators," debuted Feb. 29.
The television series is made possible by a collaboration between the Lowcountry Institute and The County Channel of Beaufort County. "Coastal Kingdom" is produced and directed by Rob Lewis. Scott Grooms is also a producer. Gary Kubic is the executive producer. Copyright 2012 .
Join host Tony Mills as he guides viewers on journeys through some of the richest and most diverse habitats of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Get up close and personal with wildlife. See the show at www.coastalkingdom.com
Alligators, snakes, lizards and turtles, oh my!
Students discover a treasure trove of biodiversity when a naturalist, nature visit their schools.
"Next time you see an animal on TV, think about what it does to protect itself," said Mills, a naturalist and the education director for the nonprofit LowCountry Institute on Spring Island. Mills believes that teaching children about the valuable, diverse ecosystem is another way to protect animals.
"There's nothing better than educating a kid and having them educate their parents," said Mills. "Parents tend to get a big kick out of that and they listen." LowCountry Institute Executive Director Chris Marsh, Mills, and environmental educator Kristen Marshall Mattson also co-teach 12-week Master Naturalist classes that teach people what they need to do to be a naturalist in the Lowcountry. Several teachers, including those at H.E. McCracken Middle School and Okatie Elementary School, have gone through a special version of the class.
Art and the ecosystem
Students turn science experiments into works of art
By AMY COYNE BREDESON
Published Monday, January 10, 2011
Hundreds of local students have spent the past few months exploring the ecosystem and translating their newfound knowledge into expressions of art.
It's all part of Beaufort County School District's participation in the international River of Words program. It aims to improve children's literacy and cognitive skills and nurture their creativity through observation-based nature exploration and the arts.
District fine arts coordinator Margaret Rushton said since the district launched the program in September, students have tested the quality of local waters, examined marine and animal life, studied the wetlands and learned how human behavior affects the environment. Then they have gone back to their classrooms to express what they've learned and how they feel about that new information through artwork and poetry.
Rushton said many of the district's teachers have gone through the master naturalist course offered by the Lowcountry Institute so they were already well-educated on the environment.
But teachers who were interested in learning more were invited to attend a teacher training day with the institute in September on Spring Island. The idea was to let the teachers learn about the Lowcountry ecosystem first so they could then teach the children.
Once the teachers felt comfortable with their knowledge of the environment, they started incorporating the River of Words program into their curriculum.
Supporters celebrate preservation efforts
Years after Beaufort County residents worked to preserve 70 acres of Lemon Island in the face of looming development, some of the initiative's supporters were treated to a tour of the protected parcel Sunday afternoon.
Widgeon Point was open to members of the Beaufort County Open Land Trust and the Coastal Conservation League on Sunday for a guided nature walk and discussion on the importance of land conservation. The event celebrates efforts on behalf of the Open Land Trust and Beaufort County to protect ecologically sensitive property on Lemon Island, which in 2007 was being considered for development of a high-density luxury townhouse community.

Studio Sessions
Willie Nelson, Live from the 'Fresh Air' Studios
Our celebration of Willie Nelson's 75th birthday continues with an excerpt from a 1996 performance and interview with the outlaw-country legend.
He and his timeworn Martin guitar joined us that year in our studios for a wide-ranging conversation and a solo acoustic set that included "Amazing Grace," the autobiographical "Family Bible" and the country-crossover hit "Crazy," which Patsy Cline turned into the biggest jukebox hit of all time.
(You can hear the complete interview and performance on this page.)

Increase After Sale Product Penetration Through Automotive Guest Relations (BDC)
Published by Keith Shetterly on August 31st, 2015
Working with an off-site Automotive Call Center, or Automotive BDC, can lead to a big increase in sales thanks to an oft forgotten source of income: post-sales products. Why would you want to outsource the guest relations department? Because your goal as a dealership is to generate traffic, and sell cars. While that takes your focus (as it should), an outsourced Automotive BDC stays primed for follow-up calls.
Meaning you can lower costs while increasing your margins, and here's how:
While your on-site dealership sales staff are busy hustling the floor, operators at the Automotive BDC are zeroed-in on customer acquisition and customer follow-up. Such customer follow-up includes calling recent customers and getting feedback, scheduling and reminding them to return for their 3-month oil change, and promoting warranties and other after-sale products.
Have a customer calling upset about a vehicle issue? No problem. Automotive BDC staff are adept at smoothing out the wrinkles and then bringing the customer back into the dealership for repairs (and hopefully to spend some extra cash). After all, after-sales products include everything from extended warranties to big service jobs, items in which the dealership enjoys big margins without negotiation.
Off-site Automotive BDCs excel at this because it's their main focus and they have the tools and technology to efficiently schedule and record all phone calls, incoming and outgoing. Call center operatives are also trained in the market and are kept abreast on the latest in industry news, products, and technologies.
To increase product penetration after the initial sale, start by getting your F&I (finance and insurance) team to collaborate with your automotive BDC (business development center). While your general goal as a dealership is to generate more traffic to sell more cars, there is an important bit of profit F&I generates that can be followed up on.
The first step is getting your automotive BDC to start referring to buyers as guests, not customers. Customers come, purchase, and go; guests keep coming back. Next, offer presentations and other perks to get those guests back through the door so your automotive BDC can push the after-sale product.
If you sell an average of 150 vehicles a month, you can expect that a certain percentage of guests will lease and another percentage will pay in cash (and refuse any attempts at financing). Perhaps in 30 of those deals, the dealership wasn't able to generate any extra income. This is when you use your automotive BDC to move in and contact these customers through a phone and email process.
One great way of getting people through the door is to go ahead and schedule an oil change with every vehicle purchased and send out an email or phone reminder the week before their 3-month date. Even if only half of the initial thirty come in, if you're able to sell another half of that number (7 to 8) a new warranty or tire and wheel, you've now increased your product penetration.
Increase After Sale Product Penetration Through Automotive Guest Relations
If you own and/or manage an automotive dealership and you think your income solely relies on vehicle sales, then you're missing out some incredible, near passive income opportunities. Passive income is any investment that's received on a regular basis and requires little effort to keep that income coming. The investment you need to make here is investing in an effective Automotive Guest Relations that's skilled with post-sale product penetrations.
How Automotive BDCs and After-Sale Product Penetration Work
As an owner or manager of a dealership, your general aim is to generate more human traffic so you can sell as many cars as you can to people who walk onto your lot. But after one of these guests signs the paperwork what do you do next?
You inform your Automotive BDC of the exchange.
Within two weeks, the Automotive BDC will have made a follow-up contact attempt. While you're on the floor, their on the phone and chat lines reaching out to both new and previous guests. For those who've already made the purchase, the Automotive BDC will begin nudging them to return to your dealership for after sale products.
Such after-sale products might be anything from a simple 3-month oil change to installing new tires. Did you know that the average American spends nearly $1,000 every year on their car's maintenance and tires every year? If you sold 30 cars last month and were able to retain 20 of them as continued customers, then that's an extra $20,000 if you can get them to see your automotive dealership as the go-to for all things big and small.

Next election:
Tuesday, August 9, 2016
Fall partisan primary - including state Senate and Assembly seats, as well as seats in the U.S. House and Senate
Election Day is Tuesday, August 9. If you're not registered yet, register at the polls.
Do you have what you need to vote?
- Are you registered at your current address?
- Do you have your ID and Voter Enrollment Verification?
- Where can you get a free Voter ID?
Voter Information
The University of Wisconsin–Madison strives to create not just good students but good citizens. That includes exercising the right to vote.
Photo ID
Acceptable forms of identification include a valid Wisconsin driver's license, Wisconsin state ID, U.S. passport, U.S. Uniformed Services card, tribal ID or Certificate of Naturalization.
The address on your ID does not matter; the purpose of presenting your ID at the polls is to prove your identity.
If you don't have one of these forms of ID, you can get a free UW-Madison voter ID card, available at the Wiscard office in Union South (or its satellite location, if applicable). The process takes only a few minutes.
Voter ID
Nonresident students without one of the forms of ID listed above can obtain a UW-Madison Voter ID Card and present that at the polls together with a Voter Enrollment Verification letter (printed or on a mobile device). Both documents must be presented at the polls.
The free voter ID card is valid for two years from the date of issue and may only be used for voting purposes. It is not intended as a replacement or substitute for the Wiscard and is not valid for any other purpose or service on campus.
Enrollment verification
Users of the UW-Madison voter ID card must also present the university's Voter Enrollment Verification letter (in MyUW's Student Center) to show proof of enrollment. Students may print the form or display it to the poll worker on an electronic device such as a smartphone, tablet or computer. This form can also be used to show proof of residence for voter registration.
Just bring a valid Wiscard to the Wiscard Office at Union South and request a Voter ID card.
Wiscard Office Hours:
Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Hours may be extended in the days leading up to an election.
NOTE: Your official Wiscard student ID is NOT valid as a voter ID. Read Chancellor Rebecca Blank's blog post on this decision.
If you are a U.S. citizen, will be 18 years of age on or before Election Day and have resided in Wisconsin for at least 28 consecutive days before election day, you are eligible to vote in Wisconsin.
Eligible voters must vote at a specific Polling Station (ward), which is determined by the location of your current address. The Polling Stations are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. Find out where you should vote.
Do you need to register?
If you are voting at the same address as the last time you voted (including apartment number), you should already be registered. You can check if you are registered at My Vote Wisconsin.
You will need to register or re-register if:
- You are a first-time voter
- You have moved to a new address (or even changed apartment numbers)
- You have changed your legal name since the last time you voted
If you need to register, see instructions below.
How to register to vote
You have three options for registering to vote: by mail, in person (pre-registering before the election) or at the polls on Election Day.
- By mail (more than 20 days prior to the election): Read the instructions on this page and click on the appropriate link for a printable registration form, including instructions on how to fill it out. Mail your completed copy of this form to the Madison City Clerk's Office, Room 103, City-County Building, 210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Madison, WI 53703.
- Pre-registering in person: You can register at the City Clerk's Office any time until 7 p.m. on the Friday before an election. Everyone needs to provide acceptable proof of current residence to register this close to the election. (See acceptable forms of proof listed below.) All proofs of address must be printed out.
- Until 20 days prior to an election, you can register at several additional locations, including any Madison Public Library. If someone offers to register you, ask to see their ID as a certified special registration deputy.
- On Election Day: at your Polling Station. You will need the same items needed to register at the clerk's office as described above. Being pre-registered helps you vote faster on Election Day, but registering at the polls is completely permissible.
Important note: If you have been issued a Wisconsin driver license or WisDOT-issued ID that is current and valid, you must provide the number and expiration date. If your Wisconsin driver license is revoked, suspended or expired; or your WisDOT-issued ID is expired, provide the number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you have not been issued a Wisconsin driver's license or WisDOT-issued ID, you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you have none of these documents, you will be able to
indicate that fact.
You must provide a Proof of Residence Document when registering to vote in Wisconsin. A Proof of Residence Document is a document that proves where you live in Wisconsin. Please see below for a list of acceptable documents.
Acceptable proofs of current address for registering
The following are acceptable proofs of current address for registering, but they must have your current name and address printed on them.
- An electronically displayed or printed Voter Enrollment Verification Letter from the Office of the Registrar. (Only Guest students and Special Students are not eligible for the voter enrollment letter.) Read more about this topic.

The Cape Verdians took a shock but deserved lead in the 36th minute through Platini only for Morocco to score in the last 12 minutes.
However, with two points from their opening two Group A games, Cape Verde - with a population of just over 500,000 the smallest country to ever compete at the tournament - still have a chance of progressing to the knockout stage.
They face Angola in their final group match in Port Elizabeth on Sunday while Morocco meet hosts South Africa in Durban.
"It's a night to congratulate Cape Verde football, a big night for our country," said coach Lucio Antunes.
"We showed we have great players just like Ghana, Nigeria, the Ivory Coast. My boys can play at Chelsea, Manchester United, Milan, Real Madrid," he added as emotions threatened to run away with him.
Cape Verde hussled and fought throughout the game. Their midfield pressure forced Karim El Ahmadi to lose the ball, allowing Ryan Mendes to run away and set up Platini for the opening goal, which he chipped over on-rushing Morocco keeper Nadir Lamyaghri.
It was one of several missed chances for the Cape Verde, who also had a thunderous free kick from Mendes saved by Lamyaghri.
Morocco did not come alive until late in the game but did enough for a draw when the unmarked El Arabi drove the ball home after a pull back from Abdelaziz Barrada in the 78th minute.
It sparked Morocco, a country with a long tradition of success in the African game, out of a collective slumber and set up a grandstand finish with Al Arabi missing a chance to grab the winner in the 83rd minute when his header went wide.
South Africa lead the group after beating Angola 2-0 on Wednesday. They have four points. Cape Verde and Morocco are on two and Angola one.

There are many exciting FIRST activities and events taking place around Virginia throughout the year. These events are a unique opportunity to see hundreds of students leverage math, science, marketing, and innovation in a team environment where students build robotic solutions to complex problems which are posed to them under real-world conditions. Students, ages 6-18 years old, participate in these FIRST programs which involve research, collaboration with mentors, and, ultimately, strategizing, designing and fabricating a robot to complete various tasks. Students learn in a pro-active format as they participate in FIRST's hands-on project-based activities.
These programs positively impact lives, encourage students to pursue higher education, and change students' attitudes towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) subjects; ultimately, many of the FIRST Alumni are considering careers in STEM- related fields. These young people will be prepared for the workplace of the future.
Come join us for an action packed fun events where students challenge their minds to develop innovative solutions!

In the money: Pacific Brands faces rocky road to recovery
By Petah Marian | 24 August 2012
Troubled Australian clothing maker Pacific Brands is in the midst of a multi-year transformation programme that has now claimed its CEO, Sue Morphet, who announced plans to step down as the group saw full-year losses widen. With former Foster's boss John Pollaers set to take the helm, just-style considers the challenges facing the company.
Over the past three years, Pacific Brands has taken a number of steps to try to turn around its struggling business.
The company, which markets brands including Berlei, Clarks, Dunlop, Everlast, Hush Puppies and Slazenger, has cut the number of brands in its portfolio from 300 to a core of around 40 key labels, closed 11 manufacturing sites and engaged in a significant debt reduction plan.
The decision to close the "uncompetitive" domestic manufacturing sites will save the company $60m a year, says Morphet.
However, full year net losses have continued to widen, reaching AUD450.7m in the year to June, from a loss of AUD131.9m the year before.
The losses were blamed on $502.7m in goodwill write-downs, including $114m in the second half, relating to homewares and workwear. Sales fell 18% over the year to $1.3bn. Excluding the loss of a contract with retailer Kmart, sales fell 4.3%.
Pacific Brands says it continues to be buffeted by the lagged impact of last year's record cotton prices. Even though cotton prices have since fallen, company CFO and COO David Bortolussi says prices charged by suppliers in China has not fallen by the same extent.
"We are also facing pressure from Chinese labour rates, which are increasing by 15-20% or more depending on the province", he adds.
These factors have meant that despite the disposal of a number of businesses that contributed low levels of profit, gross margin fell two percentage points to 46.8%.
Over the year, the company has also faced significant challenges in workwear after sales fell 2%, impacted by lower business confidence, a slowdown in the resource sector and reduced government spending.
Morphet says market conditions "remain challenging" and she expects this will remain the case throughout the 2013 financial year.
Indeed, there was little news in the group's full-year analyst call to suggest that the road ahead for Pollaer will be any easier to navigate than Morphet's. Indeed, year-to-date underlying sales are already marginally down on the prior year.
Morphet says the group is continuing efforts to reduce the ongoing costs of doing business, and that earnings will largely depend on "market conditions and associated sales performance, and may be impacted by ongoing restructuring and rationalisation".
For some shareholders, the offer to take over the company by private equity firm KKR earlier this year was a missed opportunity - and one chairman Peter Bush says he does not expect to come again.
Indeed, Bush emphasises that the appointment of a new CEO means the company is focused on trying to turn around its business from within.

Re: rebate debit card - use it as credit card payment?
I think they somewhat count on a lot of people getting to the point the monthly fee kicks in.
I tend to spend the entire thing right away, whatever the amount is that goes over what's on the card I just pay.
I've had rebate debit cards from 10 to 200 dollars and have always read all the paperwork. Then I use them within a week of activation. Nothing I hate more than getting cheated on rebates!
Ok, there are a lot of things I hate more, but as far as rebates go, I hate to get cheated out of a single dime on them
There are a lot of other things you can pay with them, insurance, phone bill, gas purchase, groceries etc.

Anchor Center for Blind Children

Anchor Center is the only privately funded organization in Colorado dedicated to meeting the needs of these children.

- (2002)The Delta Gamma Anchor Center for Blind Children
In October 2015, Anchor Center welcomed Heather Cameron as its new Executive Director. She comes with an extensive background as a Director for various agencies.
Anchor Center provides high quality education and therapy services to children with any form of a vision impairment from birth through age five. Our children make measurable progress in all areas of development and have compensatory skills that make it possible for them to participate in everyday life experiences! The whole family receives services from Anchor Center including siblings. They find support from other families as well as from our dedicated staff.
We are excited to continue to offer a Respite Night Program to our parents and families. On the first Friday night of each month, nursing students from the Denver School of Nursing and Anchor Center staff provide an evening of care and fun for Anchor Center students and their siblings at Anchor Center for Blind Children. Respite care provides parents and caregivers an extremely important and valuable opportunity to take time for themselves.
Impact Statement
Anchor Center for Blind Children sets the standard as a nationally recognized leader in early developmental, education and support services for young visually impaired children, their families and the professionals who serve them.
At the end of our fiscal year in June 2015, we served 382 children. Our core programs for infants, toddlers and preschoolers remain consistent, but with greater numbers of students and families attending center-based programming in our teaching facility. Teachers and therapists provided 437 home visits to children too medically fragile to attend center-based services and made 8 outreach trips to rural Colorado. Eleven children graduated from Anchor Center's preschool and will start kindergarten in their local public schools in the fall.
Goals for this year include implementing the Expanded Core Curriculum project, which will be printed and available for both teachers and parents to use and refer to. We are also working on a more standardized curriculum for the regular classes as well as the horticultural therapy program.
Needs Statement
The 5 most pressing needs of Anchor Center for Blind Children:
1. General operating support for teaching blind infants, toddlers and preschoolers 2. Funds for parent education services 3. Funds to support home visits to children too medically fragile to attend center-based services and for teachers to visit rural areas of Colorado 4. Gifts to our permanent endowment to operate and maintain our unique teaching facility 5. Broaden donor base to deliver services more efficiently and partner with others on behalf of children with vision impairments
Background Statement
Anchor Center for Blind Children provides direct services to blind, visually impaired and deafblind children and their families in Colorado. We serve children from birth to age 5. Founded in 1982 by a librarian for the blind and alumnae from the Delta Gamma Fraternity, Anchor Center has served hundreds of infants, toddlers and preschoolers through its accredited early intervention developmental education programs. Anchor Center is the only privately funded organization in Colorado dedicated to meeting the needs of these children and providing support services to their families.
Our staff is often called to see a newborn in the hospital who is suspected of having a vision impairment. We also get referrals from children's eye doctors and other service providers, and we frequently hear from parents seeking a vision assessment on their child.
As much as 90 percent of early learning takes place through vision (Warren, 1984). Children who are blind do not automatically compensate for lack of vision by overdeveloping their other senses. They need to be taught how to make sense of the information provided by these remaining senses.
As such, it is critical for children with blindness to receive specialized services to minimize developmental delays. If they do not receive appropriate services, they will fall behind in all areas of development. When the child is older, these delays will be more difficult or impossible to reverse. All of the programs offered at Anchor Center teach independence and provide the educational foundation needed for children with visual impairments to be successful in life.
Executive Director Statement
Anchor Center for Blind Children is located in a state of the art building that is designed to support the learning styles of young children with vision impairment. The building is doing everything it was designed to do, but what really makes the center work is the staff.
From the first time a family walks into the door with their child (who is often a newborn) to graduation at age five or six, the main support vehicles are education, respect and love. These, along with everything else, lead to a family going from lost and searching to having confidence and hope.
If one were to ask any family what happens at Anchor Center the answer would, in some form or another, be that their lives are transformed. Each child is taught in response to his or her unique learning style as every visual diagnosis presents different challenges. Each family is embraced and encouraged to enjoy their child as a child first; a child who just happens to have a vision impairment. It is our goal to help all children get the foundations needed to grow into responsible members of their communities.
Early childhood is a magical time for all children. At Anchor Center for Blind Children, it is no different. Children's curiosity is welcomed, exploration encouraged and a sense of wonder is nurtured. Children are provided an opportunity for a wonderful childhood here, and, with the support of their families and the community, to evolve into confident, competent and productive adults.
Board Chair/President Statement
One of the challenges is always ensuring the one on one attention the children need due to their different diagnosis and developmental levels. It is important to have a diverse staff of qualified professionals who can provide optimal early intervention services to meet the unique learning styles of young children with vision impairments.
Our Teachers of the Visually Impaired and Therapists (speech, music, occupational and physical) are truly experts in how to teach young blind children and how to support their families. We have recently hired seven new program staff members as well as an administrative Director of Operations.

NEW YORK/LONDON Copper ended a volatile week on firmer footing Friday, rallying 6 percent in its largest one-day advance since early 2010, as opportunistic buyers stepped up purchases on the eve of a European Union debt-crisis summit.
A day removed from its worst one-day collapse in four weeks, copper bounced back strongly to lead all gainers in the Reuters-Jefferies CRB index .CRB, as investors grew hopeful for a near-term solution to the euro zone debt crisis. The metal was also helped by Chinese buying signals.
Gains spanned the entire base metals complex. Aluminum tacked on 4 percent, zinc jumped nearly 5 percent, lead was up more than 6 percent, tin better than 4 percent, and nickel over 5 percent.
"Yesterday was very odd," said Edward Meir, commodity analyst at MF Global. "(Copper) just collapsed and we weren't seeing any weakness in anything else. I think people may have thought it got a bit overdone yesterday.
"The metals are under a two-track attack: One from the debt crisis and one as equally important, China. That is weighing much more heavily, especially on copper," he said.
London Metal Exchange (LME) benchmark copper shot up by $410 or 6 percent to end at $7,145 per tonne -- its best one-day performance on a percentage basis since February 11, 2010.
In New York, the key December COMEX contract surged by 16.55 cents or 5.4 percent to settle at $3.2230 per lb, near the upper end of its $3.0770 to $3.2405 session range.
Despite the magnitude of the price rally, volumes were not as strong. A little more than 55,000 lots traded in New York, largely in line with the 30-day average, according to preliminary Thomson Reuters data.
Copper and the industrial metals have been whipsawed in recent days by a lack of clarity surrounding Europe's ability to get its debt problems under control.
France's push to use more European Central Bank money to fight the euro zone debt crisis ran into strong resistance from Germany and other EU partners ahead of two meetings on Sunday and Wednesday.
"If they don't come up with something credible by either Sunday or Wednesday, we are really in deep trouble in all of these markets," Meir went on to say.
"People are expecting so much. This whole rally over the last two to three weeks has been in anticipation that they will come up with something. If they fall short, all bets are off again."
Traders said many short copper positions -- bets on lower prices -- taken on Thursday were being squared ahead of the weekend meeting and this explained in part why copper was showing gains.
"Anybody who is long is either crazy or has information that I don't have," a metals trader said. "I'm waiting for the results of the pillow fight between France and Germany."
A plus for the bulls was the volume of copper stocks in LME-approved warehouses. More than 3,000 tonnes were set for withdrawal on Thursday, leaving total inventory levels at 447,800 tonnes -- down nearly 6 percent since early October.
Traders say much of this metal has gone to China, whose copper appetite accounts for about 40 percent of the world's demand, and that there are more deliveries in the pipeline to the world's largest consumer of industrial metals.
"Chinese consumers are showing a lot of interest," the metals trader said. "There's a lot more to come."
That interest can be seen in the high level of canceled warrants -- material tagged for delivery -- in LME-approved warehouses located in South Korea. About 20,000 tonnes of metal is earmarked to leave warehouses in Busan and Gwangyang.
But some negative sentiment is based on the premise that much of the metal consumed in China is actually exported in the form of copper products to the United States and Europe.

Oct 9, 2012I really wanted to be scared. There was only 2 scenes where I was covering my eyes. Yeah, I'm a wuss. Anyhow there was nothing. The best part was here awesome naked body. Until the end. Then her body was not that hot. Oh, wait I am reviewing the movie right?
Impressive, if messy, the film combines kitchen-sink drama with found-footage horror, perjuring itself with too many plot possibilities.
Lovely Molly is determined to remain ambiguous, but the title says it all. Good-Lookin' Joanie just wouldn't have the same ominous ring to it.
Common sense and basic logic are left at the door; there's a brief creature effect that is laughably, outlandishly awful.

I wanted to try out WP-Super-Cache on my multi-site install, ran into some problems and am now having trouble fully uninstalling the plugin.
Disabling the plugin on all blogs didn't do it. There were still some caching issues with feeds and pages on some sites (many of which never had WP-Super-Cache activated on them).
After disabling it in all sites, I deleted the plugin via the wp-admin area.
Caching issues are gone but many of my sites are now displaying the following message embedded in the HTML of the public site.
WP Super Cache is installed but broken. The constant WPCACHEHOME must be set in the file wp-config.php and point at the WP Super Cache plugin directory.
Any suggestions of how to remove this and fully uninstall WP-Super-Cache?

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
From the pages of the Del Norte Triplicate, March 1945.
All along the Smith River for the past few days, particularly in the Hiouchi vicinity, are signs of strange and unusual activity among the suburban homes and places of denizens who inhabit that neighborhood.
Several campground proprietors, for instance, have been busy as bees around their premises — Scotty McFerren, for one has been just making things hum around Evergreen Glade Camp, while Jack Workman is busier than the proverbial cat — even the homesteaders apparently show signs of spring fever.
Take Jack Welch, he's industrious as a beaver, clouding the skies with brush fires from land he is clearing; and Jim Harris, the Sage of Wicklow Wood, out early and late with his spade and hoe; and many others who can be seen laboring in the fields and gardens.

Has any one ever added the option to email a link?
Has any one ever added the option to email a link?
Hi! I am not sure I completely understand what you are looking for? Would you like a button to share a link by e-mail? Would pressing that button open some sort of dialog where you could specify the e-mail recipient and add a personal message or something like that?
Could be an interesting feature for me to add this summer. Not something that I have seen anyone doing yet though.
Would you consider extending this into a dialog or drop-down where people can also add to favorites, share on facebook, tweet it, etc. So it becomes a tell-a-friend/social sharing feature?
