The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which consumer goods editor/analyst Austin Smith and technology and media editor/analyst Andrew Tonner discuss topics across the investing world.
Storied energy investor T. Boone Pickens is at it again; this time he's calling for $145 oil in the future. Given his energy track record and expertise, we'd be anxious about doubting him. If you agree and think $145 per barrel could be on the horizon, Austin and Andrew outline a few different ways for you to profit.
As good as these energy stocks are, there is one that could be even better. In fact, it could be "The Only Energy Stock You'll Ever Need." It's a well-positioned equipment provider that's poised to make investors today rich off the next energy spike. Click here to lean more.

Apple brings iMac line up to date
Better CPUs, more Ram, ATI graphics, SDXC card support
Apple has indeed updated its iMac line, as anticipated, beefing up the line's speeds'n'feeds and adding support for the new SDXC memory card format.
The new models sport a selection of Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors and come with 4GB of 1333MHz DDR 3 as standard.
And Apple has dropped Nvidia graphics in favour of a range of AMD ATI Radeons: the 4670 with 256MB of GDDR 3 video memory, the 5670 with 512MB GDDR 3 or the 5750 with 1GB of dedicated Ram.
The GPUs drive a choice of 21.5in, 1920 x 1080 or 27in, 2560 x 1440 IPS LCD glossy display.
There's no USB 3.0 port, but the machines have four USB 2.0 connectors, a 7W output Firewire 800 port and an SDXC card slot. There's a Mini DisplayPort too.
The iMacs have built in 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and Gigabit Ethernet. You can spec them up with 500GB to 2TB of 7200rpm hard drive storage, or a 256GB SSD. They have 8x multi-format DVD writers as standard.
The 21.5in model starts at £999, the 27in iMac at £1399.
The Macs come bundled with a Magic Mouse, but Apple is pitching its new Magic Trackpad as their ideal accessory. ®

The Truth Behind FOOLottery: April Fool's!
By Dear Fellow Fools, The beginning of spring always delights us at Fool Headquarters.
The chill winds ease, our nation's capital is alive with cherry
blossoms, the country gears up for baseball (relatively
steroid-free, this year)... and we get to devise a Foolish
prank to loose upon the world on the first day of April. We hope you enjoyed this year's lottery stunt. Happy April
Fool's Day! As you might imagine, we at The Motley Fool believe April 1 is
our national holiday (unclaimed as it is). It's a day when
we try to fulfill our mission of educating, amusing, and enriching
you, but with a triple helping of amusement! We don't run our jokes
to embarrass people. (Well, that's certainly not the
primary aim.) Instead, we hope to teach key concepts about
personal finance, investing, and life -- wrapping the medicine of
learning in the sugary flavor of a playful hoax. The lottery, roasted Lottery ads are, sadly, targeted most aggressively at people
lacking the financial education to know how many daily tickets are
too many. Less than one-quarter of the population buys nearly
three-quarters of all the tickets. It says something that when
curbs or halts have been placed on lottery advertising, ticket
sales have dropped off dramatically. For us at The Motley Fool, an organization with a mission of
helping everyone make better financial decisions, one lottery
ticket a day is too many. Therefore, the 25 tickets that some of
our fellow citizens are buying each day is, we think, a high-order
financial catastrophe. Players get hammered by a 50% loss of
capital on every ticket, every day of the year. The net result for
99.99% of the players is mounting losses, which can demolish hopes
of a comfortable financial life. For context, here's some simple
math: A 50% payback rate will turn $20 million wagered daily in the
state lottery into fewer than two cents within 30
days. If you're interested in this subject, we highly recommend the
excellent book
Selling Hope: State Lotteries in America, by Charles
Clotfelter and Philip Cook. FOOLottery! unplugged FOOLottery! was a worldwide, multihundred-million-dollar game
organized to compete with state-run lotteries in the United States.
Rather than a 50% ratio, our members would be treated to a
110% payout ratio, on average earning them rewards on each
wager. As people went to get their online tickets, enthusiastic
about the rules of our (1) Play Now, Pay Later" program,
(2) money-back guarantee, and (3) free-ticket plan for referrals
(the "BUDDIBonus"), our opportunities for operational profit
evaporated. The threat of heavy losses for The Motley Fool began to
mount. A supposed FBI investigation ensued, followed by pointed
criticism from two semi-fictional lottery proponents -- the
Union of State Lottery Workers & Homeroom Educators, and the
State Lottery Council lobbying group. These events made our task
more difficult. But the real trouble started around 3 p.m., when
your two founders began pleading with members to stop buying
tickets. We were already down somewhere between $5 million to $25
million, so we turned to the only people who could help us.
You. We asked you to please, stop playing. You kept playing. The theory goes that you don't really test a person's integrity
until you test his or her ability to deal with failure. Our April
Fool's Day "failure" tested our mettle, and the result was evidence
of serious character flaws. We Gardner brothers jury-rigged a 4
p.m. drawing, manufacturing a controversial final ball. ("It's an
O; no, it's a zero; I don't know which!") A harsh, but fair,
journalist of our own creation at the nonexistent Washington
Gazette lit us up for running an unprofessional, unethical,
and likely illegal lottery. Then our joke concluded with no one
winning the lottery and a grainy black-and-white photo of the two
of us high-fiving each other on the way out. We -- The House -- had hornswoggled the planet, taking
home $125 million. Would anyone fall for this nonsense? As we and our production team (led here at Fool HQ by Dayana
Yochim, David Forrest, and Jeb Bishop, with great last-minute help
from humorist Todd Etter -- thanks, Fools!) put the finishing
touches on our joke in the final days of March, we gave it even
odds. We were trying to make our prank believable, yet so
preposterously flawed that it might just fool a few of
you. FOOLottery was launched at 3 a.m. on April 1, and within the
first few minutes, it looked like we might fail. We opened an email
from a veteran Fool member, who wrote simply: Are people actually falling for this? I mean, c'mon! It is April
FOOL's Day! Some of those rules and conditions are pretty
funny! Not long afterwards, this note from another member
came through: Oh, please! You guys have been playing these April Fool gags
over the last five years now. Do you honestly think that we're this
naive? What followed throughout the day, though, as the final 4 p.m.
drawing approached, warmed our hearts. The emails flooded in, 600
in all. And almost half were written by people who'd fallen for our
joke. It looked like we'd successfully played on the human tendency
to crave short-term gain and then agonize when the opportunity
dries up. For the first of many bits of evidence supporting our claims of
success, we submit this note sent to us, colorfully titled "Watch
Sesame Street for the Episode on the Letter 'O'." It
read: Dear FOOLS! And I do mean that literally, if what I just read was true. I
somehow missed everything to do with the FOOLottery except for the
news of your great stupidity. How can I ever trust you to give me
ANY advice about anything ever again? Even preschoolers know the
difference between a zero and the letter O. How you could fail
to recognize the outrageously glaring ambiguity when you were
writing on the balls and not make them different in some way is
unfathomable! Morons! At The Motley Fool, we are not practitioners of the timelessly
cruel art of schadenfreude (taking pleasure in the pain of others);
therefore, you won't read the full name of anyone who penned us a
note complaining about our FOOLottery! game. However, as far as the
messages, we do have some doozies to share, as well as notes from
members who picked up on our intent right away. They who fell for the prank What follows is a collection of actual letters we received from
people around the world. Indeed, we probably should say it once again: This was all a
joke! Let's check in with the Fools who caught us in the act of a
prank. The lessons we've learned What is gained are some great lessons, and we're not always the
ones teaching, either. For instance, what great lessons in human
nature, good and bad, were taught in the notes cited above! Below
are a few others. From us: Lesson No. 1: Lotteries suck. Lesson No. 2: We're a bunch of Fools. Lesson No. 3: The stock market gives you 10% --
there's your 110%. Lesson No. 4: OK, it's April 1, OK? Remember? Lesson No. 5: The two-thirds majority. *
* * In closing, we are quite sure we will remember for years and
years the joke of 2005, the year we created a fictional
lottery (we, a lottery?!) that: And what egg on our faces we had when we couldn't tell whether
that Ping-Pong ball we drew showed an "oh" or a zero! And we grin once again as we put the finishing touches on this
article of reflection, and that short list above, and as we think
once more on this joke, now concluded, and its effects, which
probably never will totally conclude. It is hoped that all of the above brings a smile once again to
many a Foolish face, whether fooled or not. For that is the
spirit. Fool on! The Gardners Miss our April Fool's prank? Or do you want to enjoy all our
funny Foolish pictures and prose again? Start here, with our
concluding piece on
the aftermath of FOOLottery. You can also share your
thoughts on our FOOLottery discussion
This year, we trained our sights on the lottery system run
by 40 state governments. We don't mind saying that we find the
system absurd. Every day of the year, the loudest message you'll
hear from your elected state officials goes something like this:
"You can't win if you don't play."
But April 1 isn't about soapbox preaching. Our goal is to
have some fun by climbing atop apple crates and idly telling the
people of Internetville about our latest creation. This year, we
had our fun by rolling out a game we called FOOLottery! (A reminder
again, folks: Everything we're writing about in the next few
paragraphs is completely fictional!)
Fair question.
Throughout the day, we were inundated with notes from
players trying to print up their numbers and letters and an animal,
trying to claim their BUDDIBonus tickets, trying to figure out just
how Play Now, Pay Later" worked, and trying to decipher how much
they'd have to pay per ticket.
I thought your aim was to become wealthy as
you "educate, enrich, and amuse" the rest of us. What lesson are
you trying to teach us here? That "greed conquers all"? Or is it
that "gambling is good"? This whole episode conflicts with
everything else we've been learning from you -- and smacks of pure,
mercenary greed.
(This is what followed half an hour later.)
Oh, man! April Fool's? I walked right into
that one. Boy, do I feel stupid now. I guess I should look at a
calendar now and then. Good one. I take back everything I said. My
respect has now gone up. (A fickle thing, aren't I?) Well, now, I'd
better buy those newsletters right away.
Very interesting concept, but I found there to be
too little information on your website. For example, I was unable
to find out the price of the tickets. What are the methods
available to pay? How is this legal? I thought only states
were allowed to run lotteries. Is this run offshore? The
laws of what country govern this drawing? Your terms were
cute, what with reference to the "king of the lottery," but they
lack some basic info...
They who got the joke
I am a 17-year-old college-bound student who
was extremely excited, two days ago, when I heard I could
participate in your FOOLottery (being under 21, I am not otherwise
allowed to gamble). I was even more enthused when I discovered that
I would not have to purchase my tickets! An online message board
posted free vouchers available to participants who had bought in
bulk, and 20 free tickets were made available to me.
When the final balls were selected by the Fools, I waited with
bated breath. My animal-alphanumeric matched! I had the donkey on
one of my free digi-tickets. But I still didn't think I had a hope
of taking the victory. Next came the 1. I had it! Followed by P, 5,
A, and, eventually, R. I couldn't believe that I had come so far,
and on my first time playing! I was afraid to breathe -- in fact,
afraid to even move. I realized at that moment that my life could
be changed forever. Would I buy a boat? Too cliche. A house? A
mansion? A dozen mansions? My mind was racing. But my chances of
winning were still 1 in 50 (26 letters, 10 numbers and 14
animal-alphanumerics). The world slowed down around me, I heard
each beat of my heart, loud and distinct and subtle, each heave of
each ragged intake of breath racked through my entire body. And
then the last number was selected. It was mine! The prize! I had
the last zero! And then the brothers looked confused, picked it up,
and examined it. It was unclear whether it was a zero or an "oh,"
they claimed.
At first I was shocked, then angry. But now I'd like to thank the
Fool brothers. They've saved my life. With all of that money, I
wouldn't have gone to college. I'd have bought a lot of nice
things, sure, and a lot of friends, but none of it would have been
real. I'd never get a true feeling of accomplishment ever again in
my life, as it would have all been about luck.
I've refused all the class action lawyers who have called me. Don't
worry: I will emphatically NOT be pressing charges. I'd like to
thank you for giving me my life back!
A good April Fool's Day here at Fool.com should be like a
fine, flaky chocolate mousse cake: rich and many-layered. We go
all out, and we have for 12 years straight. We spend hours
dreaming the project up, put hours more into designing it, writing
it, software-coding it, laying it out on the Web, and on and on. As
you've seen above, we even lose customers as a result of
doing our joke. Some people get fooled, and outraged, and cancel
their business with us... and even though we write up and in some
cases mail out this explanation, they never actually figure out it
was a joke! Years later, some still believe we really did
try to IPO a company called eMeringue, or that we really
intended to launch a personals service called love.fool.com... yet that, too, is
part of the many layers and the richness. We put in these hours,
even lose that business, because what is gained is far more
valuable than what is lost.
Pardon our French, but that's the most obvious lesson from
our April Fool's Day joke of 2005. The impetus of this year's joke
was our long-held and extreme disdain for this wonderful
"investment," brought to you by most of the state governments
across our fair land. State lotteries are a racket, and they're
really quite an embarrassment for those who run them. They work
really hard through expensive advertising every day to entice large
numbers of ignorant and, in some cases, desperate people to fork
over some of their savings to a racket that skims 50% off the top.
That old ironic saw about how "we're from the government and we're
here to help you" comes to mind. Here to help, eh? What it comes
down to is this: Lots of us out there are having our tax burden
borne on the shoulders of some relatively destitute people ahead of
us in line at the 7-Eleven. "Gotta play to win," huh? Proud of
Before you take us for imperious judges sitting in
condemnation of our fellow Americans, we hasten right away to
remind you that we are merely Fools. We are not judges. We have
opinions, of course. But we will generally make our points with
jokes. Fools have been advisors to the court for a thousand years.
They have no aspirations to power. They just offer truthful counsel
with a friendly face and are quick to make a joke, hoping to
brighten your day. Yes, we've testified before Congress numerous
times in the past on topics of interest to the individual investor.
Invite us back for the lottery -- we'd love to talk lotto! But
remember that in the end we're only testifying to the power of
Fools, and we know it.
We had a lot of fun conceiving of this lottery to end all
lotteries, one that "would give 110 percent!" As we think all our
Fools know by now, the reality is that lotteries pay only 50% back
out. It's a bear market every day for state lottery players -- a
market crash, actually. A 50% decline in the value of your
assets is horrendous, especially on a daily basis. By contrast, it
is the stock market that gives you 110%. The historical
annual return of the stock market is PLUS-10 percent, annually.
Some years it loses money, of course, so there are no annual
guarantees. But average it out over time, and there's your annual
110%. So, instead of lottery tickets, buy shares in good public
companies that give you ownership in something less fanciful than a
fleeting one-in-a-million dream. Wanna make a million? Really? Have
more slow fun (slow fun is always more fun) doing it our way.
The Motley Fool does April Fool's jokes on April Fool's
Day. Every year. Without fail. We know this lesson may be obvious,
but the reality is that if thousands of people didn't forget this
every year, our joke wouldn't work.
We've been able to look over the inflow of thousands and
thousands of customer notes reacting to our April Fool's jokes for
more than a decade now. And so we can now authoritatively say that
every year, about two-thirds of you get it, and one-third is
fooled. This is generally good news, by the way, for our
republic. No wonder we've kept this democratic-like experiment
going for 229 years. If the ratios were reversed... eeesh.

October 28th, 2011Homebuyers: Are you utilizing social media?
by Tim Manni
The number of adult Americans using social media is staggering. The growing number of homebuyers utilizing social media to inform their homebuying decisions is equally impressive.
The National Association of Realtors reports that a real estate agent is still the number one source of information to homebuyers. That said, social media is a great tool to help you select an agent and find a community.
In her latest article, "Savvy ways social media can help you find a home," HSH.com contributing writer Michele Lerner explains to readers how they can utilize social media not only to find and learn more about real estate agents, but how it can help them research the communities in which they are looking for homes.
Finding a Realtor
Social media provides a level of transparency to homebuyers. It allows them to get a sense of a Realtor's personality and level of service to see if they're a good fit.
"A big benefit of social media is transparency," says James Nellis, a Realtor with The Nellis Group at Re/Max Allegiance in Alexandria, Va. "People know what they are getting into before they get there. We've become something of a voyeuristic society and social media helps us get to see someone's personality before we meet. But I think it is just as important to find and read consumer reviews."
Finding the right community
Once homebuyers feel comfortable with the Realtor they hire, the next big decision is where they are going to buy. Choosing the right community is equally as important as choosing the right home.
"Your experience in a community is the most important part of buying a home, even more important than the home itself," says Susan Hilton, a Realtor and vice president of sales at the Century 21 office in College Station.
One of the best ways to learn about a community is to stop residents on the street and ask questions about what they like or dislike about the neighborhood, writes Lerner. But if you're shy–or if you live miles away from a neighborhood you're considering–social media gives you another way to find out the answers you're looking for.
"You can get a fresh perspective on a neighborhood without physically talking to the residents by searching for Facebook groups associated with a particular community," Nellis says.
To learn more about how social media can help you find the right home, be sure to read Savvy ways social media can help you find a home" in its entirety.

I just wanted to pass on something that just happened to me..
So, living in central VA, the family has been pretty much locked up in the house for the past few days because of the "blizzard of '09".. This morning I go outside to start clearing all of the snow off of the cars.. While doing so, a tractor comes down the street and decides to plow about 3 feet of snow right in front of my drive way.. I WAS HOT!!!!! I spent almost all day yesterday clearing off the driveway and helping my neighbors out.. I had it nice and clear all the way down to the road.. After the knucklehead decided to plow us in, i took out some tools and dug a hole out.. Basically big enough to get the family van out.. At this point, I just needed to get out and do something..
I jump back inside to gather up the family.. The wife was happy since she needed to get some food essentials that we were running low on.. Sooo, we go to Wal-Mart.. I'm pushing the cart following the wife and kids when an older woman stopped me and asked me to get something off of a top shelf for her.. As I do that, I hear this gasp behind me and someone saying something in Spanish.. Then I hear the old woman reply to the person in Spanish.. I turn around to see a hispanic couple smiling at me and giving me the thumbs-up.. I give the lady what she needed and asked her what they said.. She told me the gentleman said to his (i'm suspecting) wife, "That is why i'm glad we came to America, everyone wears a gun!!" and she replied with, "Doesn't it just make you feel safe??".. I reach down to feel and notice that when I reached up, my coat and shirt rode up and exposed my firearm.. I fixed everything, smiled and waved at all of them, and went along with my "daddy duties" of pushing the cart.. I looked at my wife and she was just shaking her head asking me to hurry up..

strives to please you, our customers. You can trust that you will receive our top quality, every time. Below are a few of the comments our customers have given.
"I just received my first PrinterPix photo book and I'm blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. It was an 8.5X11" leather covered book with photograph paper. I chose the upgraded photo paper because the book will
be handled by many kids and the higher quality paper is well worth the small difference. The pages are virtually impervious to fingerprints and will stand the test of time. Printerpix was a pleasure to work with and was extremely easy to contact when I needed help with the project. I'm not easily impressed, but they definitely earned my returning business."

Dear Danielle,
Thank-you so much for helping me to get the Groupon with the upgrades to use as a gift. I was able to print it out at the library today and have it ready to give for the special day.
You are a credit to your company and I hope that the person in charge knows the value that you bring to it. I hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to use Printerpix again.
"I would just like to express a BIG thank you to PrinterPix!!! My daughter was married 2 yrs ago this past August. We had such a difficult time with the photograper making up her wedding album and our parent album. We finally received a disc so we could make the albums ourselves. A friend recommended your company and being her wedding album I was skeptical. I've never done anything like this before so I started with my album. I am in love with it!!! It turned out beautiful!!! The only thing I would change is the album cover. She is in the process of putting together her wedding album, finally, two years later!! Again, THANK YOU!!!!!!"

Thanks again
S Alabere
P.S I would like to take this opportunity to say how helpful and patient, Sadir, at customer services, was to me... People are very quick to put complaints in writing but, too few offer thanks, so a BIG THANK YOU to Sadir for the help he gave me when I was having a few technical problems creating calendars... I have only just placed the order so, I will not receive them for a few weeks, and therefore can't comment on the quality of the product but the customer service was excellent.....
Donna D.
The finished product arrived yesterday. Thank you very much. It is a beautiful result and we are thrilled with it.
Thank you most sincerely, again, for taking your work so seriously. Printerpix has definitely got the staff they can be proud of!! I sincerely hope they appreciate you and the pride you take in your work. Needless to say, we will be returning only to Printerpix for future photos.
Mary G.
Hello Syeda Just a small voucher to thank you for your excellent customer service and help. Good service should be rewarded and this small token is our way of saying thank you. I am am sending the same for your manager so they know that their help was also appreciated. All the best Ewan

red wine is not going to change your skincolor if that's what you meant.It WILL NOT change your skin tone. You would need a sun tan for that.
Most clinicians agree that moderate intake of Red wine has beneficial effects.
1) It contains resveratrol, this protects your heart and arteries against the effects of saturated fat in your diet
2) Is high in Antioxidants which can slow the signs of aging and prevent a number of degenerative illnesses like type 2 diabetes or osteoporosis
3) Mounting evidence suggests that drinking red wine in moderation can help prevent cancer.
4) The polyphenols in red wine help harden tooth enamel and hence aid in the prevention of tooth decay.

Cocktails in the Blend
by David Wondrich
AMERICA has always had the cocktail—well, at the very least since 1803, when the drink first turns up in print, and probably for a generation before that—and has had Scotch whisky for practically as long: by the early 1820s, barrels of Highland malt were regularly making it into the ports of New York and Boston.
What we didn't always have was the scotch cocktail. Indeed, until the 1890s, it was very rare indeed to find Scotch whisky mixed with anything at all other than a wee pinch of sugar, a strip of lemon peel, and a splash of boiling water. "Whisky Punch," as this preparation was known in Scotland since time immemorial, or at least the mid-1700s, or "Hot Scotch," as it was known here (unless you set it on fire and poured it back and forth between silver baluster mugs, in which case it was a "Blue Blazer") was a fine drink, to be sure.

Nickelodeon: 'SpongeBob' Squares with Privacy Protections
Programmer Has Vetted Mobile App Game, Maintaining it Doesn't Collect Personal Info 12/19/2012 8:29 AM EasternThe game earlier this week was the target of a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission alleging that it violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act by collecting that info but not informing parents it was doing so.
"After an initial investigation and thorough review of our SpongeBob Diner Dash mobile application, we can confirm that no names, email addresses or other personally identifiable information were collected, and, therefore, we believe that no violation of COPPA occurred," said the company in a statement. "The optional email prompt to receive a newsletter was a template function from the developer that was never operational in this app, and no email addresses or personally identifiable information were collected.
"Nickelodeon has long prided itself as being a leader in COPPA compliance, and we are looking forward to maintaining that leadership position in the industry as the FTC unveils its updated guidelines."
The company also said that the game's prompt for a player to enter his or her name is simply to allow for saving of an individual game in progress and resides locally on the device rather than a server.
The Federal Trade Commission is releasing changes/clarifications to its enforcement to COPPA on Wednesday to reflect the rise of mobile and online gaming and marketing.

Council revisits downtown toilet decision
Nanaimo city council revisited its decision to build a public washroom downtown, but voted once again to continue on with the project with financial assistance from the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association.
Coun. Jim Kipp, who said previously he felt the $100,000 loo was too much money and that a made-in-Nanaimo effort was more desirable, brought the motion up again through personal privilege to direct staff to investigate other less expensive options.
Council voted on Jan. 14 to go ahead with including money in the current budget to build a Portland Loo at Diana Krall Plaza to address a public urination problem downtown when bars let out, and to provide tourists and downtown shoppers with a convenient and safe place to relieve themselves 24/7. The patented facility, which is not fully enclosed, also meets RCMP safety concerns.
The DNBIA said it will chip in $23,000 for the toilet, leaving the city with a net cost of $67,000.
"We've been working on a solution to public urination for more than a year with the RCMP, the Safer Nanaimo Working Group, BarWatch and the City of Nanaimo," said Corry Hostetter, general manager of the DNBIA. "We launched a pilot project that saw a temporary toilet put downtown and it was a success in reducing public urination, so our board of directors decided to use $23,000 of restricted capital funds for an asset in the revitalization of downtown."
The DNBIA is a taxpayer-funded organization charged with improving Nanaimo's downtown area.
Staff reports say the design, which originated in Portland, Ore., has been successful in other cities, including Vancouver and Victoria. Council voted 5-3 in favour of proceeding with the project as it sits.
"It's a health issue," said Coun. Fred Pattje, adding that four years of study has revealed that Diana Krall Plaza is the best location. He said that while $100,000 is a lot of money, public washrooms at Maffeo Sutton Park cost $60,000 in the mid-1980s, and that building the city's own version of the Portland Loo would infringe on patents if not built by the original designer.
"The reality is things don't come cheap," said Pattje. "And we don't always go with the most expensive option. What we've decided on here is not the most expensive option."
Kipp said if two toilets can be built at the Northfield rest stop for $40,000, then one can be built downtown for less than the proposed cost.
"I don't think we expanded this enough, I don't think we've looked within our own city enough," said Kipp. "We're depending on Portland, we're depending on Victoria ... and I don't think this one toilet is going to solve the problem. It just doesn't make sense."
Council will have opportunities to discuss the project during budget deliberations but will likely go ahead with installing the facility later this year.

Gasland is not a long film, nor is it replete with orchestral music and expert cinematography. However, this is a change-your-mind sort of documentary that does its job.
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for natural gas is largely unregulated, and the companies doing it are expanding their reach. Already, areas of the southern, western, and southwestern US have been fracked, and the companies are now at work on the Delaware River Basin. They pretty much go where they want and use the means they need to achieve results.
Hydraulic fracturing by natural gas companies is almost what it sounds like: fracturing underground rock layers with powerful blasts of water to permit natural gas to move where it can be captured for use.
But I said almost. Over 500 chemicals are injected along with the water, and some are hazardous to biological life (plants, animals, and us). These do not all stay underground. Some escape when the companies spray liquid into the air so it can evaporate (they have to get the liquid back out of the fractures so the gas can move in). Some liquids from fracking are brought to ground level and let sit in pools called flowback pits. The companies, knowing there's far more there than simple water, call this "produced water." Groundwater often becomes contaminated and affects people's wells with chemicals including glycol ether (an antifreeze) and benzene.. Furthermore, the buildup of gas can cause explosions in the wellbores and in water lines.
The history of regulation of fracking is nasty and way too light; Fox's recap of it is borne out by other research and investigative reporting.
Reading long reports containing numerous technical terms is not everyone's cup of tea. This film is an easy way to get the basic information. Fox is a likable man whose land has been targeted for gas company fracking. He tours areas of the United States where fracking has already occurred, interviewing landowners. We see more than one person able to ignite creek water as well as water from their kitchen taps, people who have become chronically ill. One woman is freezing the carcasses of wildlife expired around a pond near her home in hopes that some authority will autopsy them to identify the chemicals at fault. So far, no one has taken her up on it.
While few federal agencies appear interested in what might lead to regulation of fracking, some US states and counties have banned the practice.
Never mind how close the Delaware River Basin gets to home wherever you live, as the results from fracking may be in our refrigerators right now. Fracking is carried out on ranches and farms, and the livestock are getting sick. Think milk, eggs, steak, and pork chops.
Can fracking be carried out more safely? Apparently, it can. But also apparently, it may not be, without more stringent federal regulation. Some EPA staff have testified to the dangers which, by the way, include possible earthquakes, but the gas companies have been granted exceptions to some important (to our safety) environmental and land constraints already in place, and new regulations seem to get quashed.
Fox shows a touch of black humor now and then, making clear that the people affected by fracking are real human beings, helpless before corporate machinery. In one brief scene, he stands in an area replete with toxic air, playing cheerful country music on his banjo and wearing a gas mask. We laugh a moment before realizing this is no exaggeration, as some people living in fracking areas are afraid to go outdoors without protection. Certain fracking chemicals can cause asthma and irreversible neurological damage.
I'm not getting up a group to march on Washington here, but I am advocating self-education. A number of the folks suffering the consequences of fracking were unaware of the risks, were assured of fracking's safety, and were paid for the rights (contracts they can't get out of). They now hope their experience will warn others of the dangers. Certainly, we should at least hear them out.

text: A bounty of commodity resin pricing action is featured in this week's Material Insights video. North American prices for PP and PET bottle resin both fell in December, with PET tumbling 5 cents and PP ticking down 2 cents. Regional PVC prices jumped 3 cents per pound in January, while things were a bit more complicated in PS. Prices for all grades of PS fell an average of 2 cents in December, but in January prices for general-purpose PS moved up 5 cents while prices for high-impact PS climbed 7 cents. Weak demand played a role in the price drops, while changes in raw material prices factored in to the increases. A legal battle between Dow Chemical and Nova Chemicals also is featured in this week's video. A U.S. appeals court recently awarded Dow almost $62 million in damages from Nova for violating Dow patents used to make enhanced PE. With interest, that amount could be more than $76 million. Nova officials said they will determine what to do next in the case. The video wraps up with news of Eastman Chemical's $3.4 billion purchase of Solutia. Both firms are active in plastics and specialty chemicals, while both also have histories in materials they no longer produce - eastman with PET and Solutia with nylon. Eastman still generates about 20 percent of its annual sales from copolyester and other specialty resins, while about 60 percent of Solutia's sales come from plastic products such as performance films and interlayers.

"The least costly treatment for any illness is lethal medication."
Walter Dellinger
"From such defensive, separated worlds some youngsters have indefensibly stepped across a moral line and taken up their lethal rucksacks, ... The deeper alienations that lead to terrorism may have their roots in these young men's objections to events in Iraq or elsewhere, but the closed communities of some traditional Western Muslims are places in which young men's alienations can easily deepen."
Salman Rushdie
"The new data show that protons produce more potentially lethal double-strand breaks, a type of severe DNA damage, than other kinds of DNA damages. This means that scientists don't really know how human DNA is affected by the most numerous particles in space and, as a result, do not know how to design the proper protection for astronauts."
Betsy Sutherland
"This is a very lethal, and unfortunately, adaptive enemy that we are faced with inside Iraq,"
Carter Ham
"It was nice to see him out there. He's big, strong, tall and fast. That's a lethal combination."
Charlie Frye
"This is very important information for law enforcement that depend on the effectiveness of their less lethal devices in the field. One of the reasons police use electronic control devices is to stop problem behavior early in a confrontation and de-escalate a situation before a higher level of force becomes necessary. The force option has to work. If the suspect fights through the effects of the device the situation is likely to escalate. The situation could rapidly deteriorate, resulting in serious injury or death to the officer or suspect."
Chris Myers
"It just wears on you. It happens quickly and suddenly, and it's lethal when it does."

- Outstanding mobility; not only does he excel at extending plays, but he also displays the agility, speed and vision to rip off large chunks of yardage on the ground.
- Elusive both in the pocket and when he takes off with the ball. Makes defenders miss in confined areas and in the open field.
- An ambitious playmaker that forces defenses to cover the entire field.
- Extraordinary competitor and leader on the field who will do anything it takes to win.
- Possesses rare talents as an improviser. He maneuvers and escapes the pocket like few others.
- Has an unnerving ability to elude pressure and make something out of nothing.
- Is absolutely electric in space.
- Adequate arm strength. He can push the ball downfield and shows the necessary velocity in the intermediate area.
- His hands are large for his size, helping him as a thrower and allowing him to pump-fake convincingly.
- Is a tone-setter that can dictate the tempo of games.
- Flashes good accuracy in the short and intermediate levels.
- Is able to make the big play in improbable down-and-distance situations.
- Does not have any quit in him. You want the ball in his hands with the game on the line.
- Too many negative plays, he has an inflated opinion of his play-making abilities.
- Lack of size is a concern. Is listed at 6'0" and has to rely on his feet to create clear throwing lanes.
- Leaves himself very vulnerable to punishment in the open field. He is wired to gain maximum yardage, but takes too many shots. Long-term durability is a big question mark.
- Occasionally holds on to the ball for too long and does not look to checkdown.
- Questionable decision-making and ability to read defenses. Forces passes and throws too many up for grabs in traffic.
- Often telegraphs his target and fails to look beyond his first read.
- He swings for the fences, looking to hit the home run rather than move the chains at times.
- Is too reckless with the ball. He needs to get the ball out quicker, even if it means throwing it away sometimes.
- Inconsistent deep accuracy.
- He often short-arm's passes, partially due to throwing mechanics. Does not have the arm strength to compensate for sloppy footwork.
- Scrambling a double-edged sword, he is sometimes guilty of back-tracking and dancing too much.
- Ball often comes out of his hand wobbly. Throws an inconsistent spiral.
- Off the field distractions could deter some decision-makers from giving him the reins to the franchise.
- Walks a fine between confident and arrogant.
- Maturity appears to be a valid concern.

Ratings Chart
One of the most polarizing prospects in recent memory, Manziel will generate headlines wherever he lands at the next level. His most ardent supporters believe that he will take the NFL by storm, much like he did college football's Southeastern Conference the past two seasons. Many, on the other hand, believe his reckless nature both on and off the field make him a less than ideal candidate to be an NFL franchise quarterback. While he will never be a 6-foot 4-inch pocket passer, Manziel's rare mobility and knack for making plays forces defenses to cover the entire field. The upside to drafting him seems remarkable, but I imagine several general managers and coaches would not touch him with a 10-foot pole. Whether or not he lands in a favorable situation, it should be an exciting journey for him and the fans of his team.

Review Date
August 1997
Released last Christmas in the US, NHL Powerplay Hockey recently arrived on PAL format. The reason for the delay is probably something to do with the fact that ice hockey doesn't really reign supreme in Europe like it does in the US. Although TV coverage is finally giving this sport the exposure that it deserves, most Europeans still wouldn't know the difference between Dallas All Stars and the Mighty Ducks. The only way that this could ever improve would be through education of the sport and what better way to teach the uninitiated the rules than to sit them down in front of a Playstation and load up a copy of one of the many ice hockey games that are presently available. The question is whether NHL Powerplay could convince a die-hard soccer fan that similar enjoyment can be gained from participating in a team sport that replaces studs with blades and grass with ice.Well let's see, because I love soccer and my experience of ice hockey is watching the Mighty Ducks three times on the Disney channel while the Play Offs can only be associated to the soccer teams that didn't quite make promotion and are given a second chance.
NHL Powerplay, in case you haven't already gathered, is a simulation of the sport of Ice Hockey. The game features all 26 teams within the National Hockey League and a selection of top International squads. Each team has five outfield players and a keeper to begin with but rough play can see your team numbers rapidly reduced for timed periods. The game is played on an enclosed ice rink, obviously, and the ball is a puck which the players attack with a hockey stick. The players wear up to fifteen wooly sweaters because it's cold while masks, gloves and knuckle-dusters are worn because it's dangerous.
When the players first take to the ice and skate off to their allocated positions they appear as smart animated figures. Their reactions and movements are quite realistic. A tackle from behind will see them wobble around as if they are about to lose balance, a trip sends them sprawling head first across the icy surface while a puck in the midriff shows the player as he doubles up with pain, which is just how I would react.The smooth scrolling ice rink is accurately set out with the blue and red lines that highlight the zones having a misty edge to them that gives them a slightly melting appearance.Once the game begins it is immediately noticeable that the fixed camera angle makes it difficult to collect the puck when two or more players are in the vicinity. As the game does not offer the option to adjust the in-game camera angle the outcome of one on one situations leaves a lot to chance. A replay mode is available for use at anytime during or after play and the use of the fast forward and rewind controls allow you to check out individual players performances and abilities.
There is not much to report on the sound effects and music because there is sadly no big name commentator to report on the action, therefore you must rely on the on-screen display which names the player in control. It's hardly a grumble because I usually end up turning off the commentators voice during sporting games because they are usually repetitive and annoying. The noise of the crowd is basically a raising and lowering of a muffled.... er, crowd type noise. There's the clatter of hockey sticks and the occasional sound of the referees whistle and that's about it.
First you must grasp the rules of the game otherwise play will degenerate into a series stop-start frustrations. The red line divides the rink into two halves and the two blue lines mark the start of the offensive and defensive zones. Penalties will be called for hooking, slashing, tripping, interference, cross checking, elbowing, holding and probably for throwing snowballs. Thankfully this can be turned off for a thoroughly enjoyable dirty game. Offside is called when a player enters the blue offensive zone before the puck does. Thankfully this can be turned off for the goal moochers. A two line pass is penalized when the puck is passed from the defensive zone to the area past the red centre line without contacting a player, while icing determines whether a puck can be played from the defensive half to the area behind the goal you are attacking. If these are also switched off then you don't need the ref. There are a variety of game modes on offer which are Exhibition that allows one or multiple users to play a customized single game. Season offers you the chance to control one team through a variable length NHL Season. Play-Offs allows you to jump the grind of a season and go straight into a pressure-packed NHL Play-Off and a World Tournament is a 16 team round robin format that is split into 8-team pools with divisional winners competing to become World Tourney Champion.Powerplay holds the official stamp of the NHL which allows use of the real names of the top sporting stars while the teams they play for are graded by their recent form. Click onto Quick Start and all the options you require are displayed on one screen, teams, rating, rules on/off and period length. Ideal for the beginner.Once the game is underway the only controls you will initially use are pass, slap/wrist shot, poke check and fast skate. These actions will get you through your opening game against a lesser team but if you wish to succeed against the top teams you must learn all fifteen actions.During the interval of each quarter your offensive and defensive set ups may be edited to change the flow of play. Getting to grips with this facility is essential as a correct tactical change should alter the course of the game.NHL Powerplay was an enjoyable experience but is not without faults. Certain situations require a burst of speed but the fast skate button didn't really offer much acceleration. Also, when passing the puck the nearest player is not automatically selected but must be selected manually. This results in a fair amount of button bashing throughout the entire game.
NHL Powerplay is a smart looking game that is easy to pick up and play. With so many similar games on the PSX market I wouldn't say that it was the best available but I could certainly recommend it to the novice ice hockey player.
Definately a game for beginners with it's pick-up-and-play handling. The graphics look good but I sometimes found it difficult to see who had control of the puck, but then again my eye sight is not as good as it was before I began spending half of my life on a Playstation. Powerplay also lacked the punch ups which add that bit of realism to ice hockey games. I also thought the after goal celebrations went on a little too long, especially when it was the opposing team dancing around in delight.
I thought the graphics looked great but the game was spoilt by play constantly stopping and starting. It flowed a lot better when the rules were switched off. I also found it hard to score, even against the easier teams. (Adam: aged 9)

Sarachek Fellowship Award Recipient
Courtney Passow
Courtney Passow is a doctoral candidate in Biology. Her research focuses on determining the underlying genetic and physiological mechanisms of adaptation to extreme environments. Extreme environments are characterized by the presence of environmental stressors that limit organismal survival. Nonetheless, some organisms exhibit specific adaptations that allow them to thrive in conditions lethal to most forms of life. Poecilia mexicana is an extremophile fish that lives in the presence of hydrogen sulfide, a naturally occurring potent respiratory toxicant. Hydrogen sulfide has been shown to play a crucial physiological role in therapy for treatment of chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases; yet a major obstacle for the safe application of sulfide as a therapeutic includes the lack of knowledge relating to the biological metabolism of sulfide. Hence, the genetic analyses are poised to help identify genes and physiological pathways involved in coping with elevated hydrogen sulfide
Passow received her bachelor's degree from Texas A&M University. Dr. Michi Tobler, assistant professor in Biology, is her major professor.
Passow will use the fellowship to relocate to St. Paul, Minnesota where she will pursue a post-doctoral position with Dr. Suzanne McGaugh and Dr. Peter Tiffin at the University of Minnesota. Passow plans to use a majority of the funds to collect preliminary data that can be used to secure post-doctoral funding. Shewill primarily be working with blind Mexican cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus), investigating how organisms adapt to nutrient- and light-poor cave environments. In particular, Passow will be utilizing new technological and theoretical tools to identify changes in gene co-expression networks between cave and surface populations and test whether divergent co-expressed nodes are also under direct selection.

Kerri Neugebauer
Kerri Neugebauer is a doctoral candidate in plant pathology. She received her bachelor's degree in agronomy plant science and biotechnology from Kansas State University. Neugebauer's research focuses on Puccinia triticina, the casual agent of wheat leaf rust. It is a devastating disease that can cause up to 50% yield loss. The most common control strategy for leaf rust is genetic resistance, however this strategy is not always durable and can break down within a few years after release. Neugebauer's research has identified wheat genes that are important for leaf rust infection. By altering these genes in the host, durable resistance may be obtained. Plants have been engineered to lower the expression of these genes and the resulting transgenic plants have shown signs of resistance to leaf rust. A wheat mutant population has also shown resistance to leaf rust that could provide a non-transgenic alternative and could be a source for identification of new resistance genes. Ultimately, this research will be able to provide valuable information about the leaf rust and wheat interaction and could help lead to a long-term solution to leaf rust for wheat producers worldwide. Her major professor is Harold Trick, professor of plant pathology
Neugebauer plans to use the funds to attend the American Phytopathological Society annual meeting in Tampa, Florida. Attending this meeting will allow her to interact with potentially thousands of scientists devoted to studying plant diseases and ways to manage them.

After going toe-to-toe with Leonardo DiCaprio is Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, which just hit theaters this past weekend, Joel Edgerton is now getting set to team up with Johnny Depp.
Deadline says that the Australian actor is now attached to co-star with the Pirates of the Caribbean A-lister in Black Mass, the upcoming gangster biopic from director Barry Levinson. The site says that Edgerton will be playing the role of John Connolly, an FBI agent who also happened to be a childhood friend of Bulger's. It's suggested that it was because of Connolly's help that Bulger, a crime lord in Boston, Massachusetts, was able to evade capture and disappear off the grid. Depp will star as the kingpin and has the project scheduled to start production once he has completed work on Academy Award winner Wally Pfister's sci-fi directorial debut Transcendence. Mark Mallouk wrote the screenplay for the film, which is based on the Dick Lehr/Gerald O'Neill-written bestseller "Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob." Edgerton, who is slowly becoming one of the more popular actors in Hollywood, is currently in production on Jane Got A Gun, the Gavin O'Connor-directed western that has seen more than its fair-share of behind-the-scenes drama. He has also completed work on Felony, a new Australian-produced thriller that he wrote and is starring in. In the movie he plays a decorated cop who finds his life thrown into turmoil in an instant when he has a few too many drinks and accidentally hits a bicyclist with this car. Neither film currently has a domestic release date.

Roxbury man says two suspects took gun during home invasion, police say
A Roxbury man was robbed of a gun Sunday night during an apparent home invasion after two suspects bound him with duct tape and left him in his bathroom, police said.
The victim told police the two suspects were accompanied by a man he thought he recognized when they burst into his apartment on Fenwood Road Sunday night.
The two suspects demanded the victim surrender his firearm and money from his safe, police said. How the suspects knew the victim had a firearm is under investigation, said Officer Neva Coakley.
The victim told police he was bound with duct tape and left in his bathroom, police said.
The suspects escaped the home with the victim's black Walter P99C 9mm firearm, iPhone, and possibly a box of ammunition, police said.
The victim was able to free himself after about 20 minutes to call police, Coakley said.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Boston Police Detectives at 617-343-4275.
